Evelyn Baine's whole world changed when she was twelve years
old. The Nursery Rhyme Killer abducted Evelyn's best friend,
Cassie, and her body was never found. Evelyn has waited
eighteen years to find Cassie and capture the Nursery Rhyme
Killer. Her chance has arrived as the Nursery Rhyme Killer
has returned to South Carolina and Evelyn is determined to
be the profiler on the case, no matter the consequences to
her career.
VANISHED is the second book in Elizabeth Heiter's The
Profiler series. I love the insight we get into
Evelyn's character in VANISHED. Evelyn's dedication to her
job is admirable but she's starting to see that a life
outside of work might be enjoyable. However, the Nursery
Rhyme Killer is a very personal crime, one that has shaped
Evelyn's entire life and career. Elizabeth Heiter does a
marvelous job at putting the reader into Evelyn's mind, as
it is easy to understand her willingness to forego the rules
and boundaries that have shaped her career as Evelyn is
shaping up to be quite the maverick at the Behavioral
Analysis Unit (BAU)!
Elizabeth Heiter crafts a heart wrenching mystery for Evelyn
to profile. One of the aspects I like best about VANISHED is
that Elizabeth Heiter keeps us guessing until the end. Are
the clues real or just red herrings? I wanted to peek at
the ending but resisted and wow, what a surprise Elizabeth
Heiter has in store for the reader!
VANISHED is a fast paced thriller that keeps the reader on
the edge of the seat, anxiously turning the pages as we hope
to uncover who is committing such horrible crimes. Elizabeth
Heiter sheds light on the long-lasting effects of a child
abduction on not only the immediate family and friends but
the community as a whole. VANISHED is easily recommended for
readers who like their thrillers dark, twisted, and full of
Sometimes, the past can haunt
Eighteen years ago, FBI
Evelyn Baine's best friend, Cassie Byers, disappeared,
third in a series of unsolved abductions. Only a macabre
nursery rhyme was left at the scene, a nursery rhyme that
claimed Evelyn was also an intended victim. Now, after
these years of silence, another girl has gone missing in
South Carolina, and the Nursery Rhyme Killer is taking
credit. But is Cassie's abductor really back, or is there
copycat at work?
Sometimes, the past is

again, Evelyn knows this is her last chance. If she
figure out what happened to Cassie eighteen years ago, it
may be Evelyn's turn to vanish without a trace.
Evelyn Baine knew how to think like a killer.
In fact, she was damn good at it. Serial killers, arson�ists, bomb-makers,
child abductors, terrorists�she�d crawled around in all of their twisted
minds. She�d learned their fantasies, figured out their next moves and
chased them down.
But no matter how many she found, there were al�ways more.
Even before she stepped inside the unmarked build�ing in Aquia, Virginia,
where the FBI hid its Behavioral Analysis Unit, Evelyn knew the requests
for profiles on her desk had grown overnight. It was inevitable.
She strode through the entrance and a blast of air-conditioning chased away
the mid-June heat, raising goose bumps on her arms. As she headed toward
the drab gray bull pen packed with cubicles, the scent of old coffee filled
her nostrils. The whiteboard near the front of the bull pen was covered in
her boss�s distinctive
scrawl�notes on a case. They hadn�t been there when she�d left last night.
The handful of criminal investigative analysts who�d arrived before her�or
hadn�t gone home�gazed at her with bloodshot eyes and quizzical
expressions. But it had been a full two weeks since she�d been cleared to
come back to work. A full two weeks for them to get used to her not being
the first agent through the door in the morning and the last to leave at
A full two weeks for her to get used to it, too. But it still felt
Slipping into the comfort of her cubicle, she set her briefcase on the
floor, hung her suit jacket over the back of her chair and slid her SIG
Sauer P228 off her hip and into a drawer. Then she looked at the case files
stacked on her desk. Yep, the pile had definitely grown. And the message
light on her phone blinked frantically.
Guilt swirled through her, rising up like a sandstorm. If she�d stayed an
extra few hours yesterday evening, an extra few hours the evening before,
she might�ve gotten through another couple of files. But she knew from a
year of ten-hour days, seven days a week, that cloistering her�self in her
cubicle wouldn�t stop the cases from coming.
It would only stop her from having a life outside the office. And after
she�d almost been killed by the serial killer she�d been profiling a month
ago, that had become important.
So, she shoved the guilt back, dropped into her chair and dialed her voice
mail. There were three requests for follow-up on cases she�d profiled, a
pretty typical way to start her morning. She jotted them down and kept
The next call was from the FBI�s Employee Assis�tance Program, reminding
her that the Bureau had psy-chologists she could talk to about the case
that had nearly killed her, and had claimed another agent�s life. Evelyn
ground her teeth and deleted it. She had her own psy�chology degree, and
her professional opinion was that she was doing just fine. She was about to
hang up when she realized there was one more message.
�I�m looking for Evelyn Baine.� The voice was vaguely familiar and every
word vibrated with tension. �The Evelyn Baine from Rose Bay. This is Julie
Byers. Cassie�s mom.�
Whatever she said next was drowned out under a sud�den ringing in Evelyn�s
ears, under a bittersweet flood of memories. Cassie, the little girl next
door who�d come over the day Evelyn had moved in with her grandparents and
announced they were going to be best friends. The girl who hadn�t given a
damn that Evelyn was the only person in town�including Evelyn�s
grandparents�who wasn�t white, at least not entirely white. And eighteen
years ago, in Rose Bay, that had mattered.
Cassie had been Evelyn�s first real friend, a symbol of everything that was
supposed to change in her life when she came to stay with her grandparents.
For two years, she and Cassie had been inseparable. And then one night,
Cassie had disappeared from her bed. In her place, her abductor had left
his calling card, a macabre nursery rhyme.
Cassie had never come home. Julie Byers calling now, eighteen years later,
could only mean one thing. They�d found her.
Pressure tightened around her heart. Evelyn had worked enough child
abduction cases in her year at BAU to know the statistics. After eighteen
years, Cassie wasn�t going to be found alive. But she didn�t want to snuff
out the flicker of hope that just wouldn�t die.
With unsteady hands, Evelyn called her voice mail again and skipped through
to the last message, to hear what she knew Julie Byers was going to say.
Cassie was dead.
She clutched her hands tightly together as the mes�sage replayed. �I�m
looking for Evelyn Baine. The Evelyn Baine from Rose Bay. This is Julie
Byers. Cassie�s mom.�
In the pause that followed, tears clouded her vision. Her whole body tensed
as she waited for Julie Byers to destroy the dream she�d had for eighteen
years. The dream of one day seeing Cassie again.
�Please call me, Evelyn.�
Her body deflated and she dropped her head to the desk.
Willing her pain not to show on her face, she turned around. �Greg,� she
Greg Ibsen was the closest thing she had to a part�ner at BAU. Even if
she�d sounded normal, he was the only one in the office who might have seen
through it. As he stepped into her cubicle, worry brimmed in his soft brown
�What happened? Are you okay?�
She stared up at him, trying to get control of herself. But her eyes kept
losing focus, and her heart still tripped erratically.
�Come on.� Greg set his briefcase next to hers and took her arm, pulling
her out of her seat.
�Hang on,� she croaked, jotting down the number from her voice mail.
She spun back, her eyes on the loud plaid tie someone�probably his
daughter, Lucy�had paired with his somber blue suit. Then Greg was
propelling her into an empty interagency coordination room.
He guided her into a chair, then shut the door and leaned against it.
�What�s wrong?�
Everything was wrong. She�d joined the FBI, joined BAU, to find Cassie, but
she�d never told anyone at the Bureau about her past. Except Kyle McKenzie.
Kyle was an operator with the FBI�s Hostage Rescue Team. Since HRT and BAU
worked closely together, she�d met him the day she joined BAU. And for a
whole year, she�d managed to resist his incessant flirting, as�suming it
was all a joke. Until last month.
Last month, she�d acted on the attraction. And every�thing between them had
changed. Despite the fact that he�d been called away on a case too soon for
them to fig�ure out where their relationship was going, she wished he was
here. Wished she could lean into his strong arms while she called Cassie�s
But Kyle wasn�t here. He was somewhere not far from where she�d grown up,
on a mission she didn�t �need to know� anything about. And the nature of
his job meant she had no idea when he�d be back.
Greg had trained her and he�d become a good friend. Hell, he was her
emergency contact, because she didn�t have any real family left except her
grandma, and these days, Evelyn took care of her.
A month ago, Evelyn would have pretended to be fine. She would have brushed
off Greg�s concern and gone back to work. But she was trying to make a
change in her life. So, she told him, �When I was twelve, my best friend,
Cassie, disappeared. She was never found.� It had been the driving force in
her life for eighteen years, the one thing she�d been willing to sacrifice
everything else for. �And now��
She squeezed her eyes shut. She�d always wanted clo�sure, always needed to
know what had happened. But if Cassie was dead, she suddenly, desperately,
wanted to stay ignorant.
Greg�s hand rested on her arm, and when she opened her eyes he was kneeling
next to her, his gaze steady and compassionate. The gaze of someone who�d
sat beside too many victims and always known the right thing to say.
And maybe, more than anyone, he�d know what she should do now. He was
practiced at comforting survivors�his son, Josh, had watched his birth
father kill his mother before Josh had been adopted by Greg and his wife.
�Cassie�s mom wants me to call her.� The next words didn�t want to come,
but she forced them out. �It must be because they finally found her body.�
Saying it out loud felt like ripping a bandage from a wound it had covered
so long it had grown into the skin.
Sorrow folded into the creases beside Greg�s fawn-colored eyes. �I�m so
sorry, Evelyn.� He squeezed her hand, those gentle eyes searching hers.
�Eighteen years is a long time. Too long for there to be any good outcome.�
He was right, of course. If Cassie had still been alive, what hell might
she have endured for the past eighteen years?
A rush of images stampeded through her head from a child abduction case
she�d profiled in her first month at BAU. She�d gone to the scene to advise
HRT when they went into the suspect�s house. She�d watched Kyle kick the
door in. She could still smell the cordite from the flash-bang, still feel
the tension, the restrained hope that maybe, just maybe, they�d find the
boy alive.
She�d waited and waited until finally they�d come out. First, two HRT
agents leading the suspect, naked, hand�cuffed and swearing. Then Kyle
carrying the boy, mi�raculously still breathing. Someone had wrapped an FBI
jacket around his violated body, but the anguish in his eyes�seven hundred
days past terror�had burrowed deep into her soul and she�d known. He hadn�t
really come out alive.
Greg�s voice brought her back to the present. �You were too young to have
saved Cassie, Evelyn. But she brought you to us. And to all the victims you
did bring home.�
�I don�t want to hear there�s no more hope,� she ad�mitted.
�I know.�
Greg didn�t let go of her hand as she pulled out her phone and stared at
it, not wanting to dial.
�You need to get it over with. It�s not going to get any easier, and
waiting won�t change anything. You can do this.�
Evelyn nodded, tried to prepare herself. She dialed the number fast, before
she could change her mind. Some cowardly part of her hoped Julie wouldn�t
pick up, but before the first ring ended, she did.
�Mrs. Byers? It�s Evelyn Baine.� Her voice sounded strange, too high-
pitched and winded, as if she�d just run the Marine training course over at
�Evelyn.� Julie�s voice betrayed that she�d been crying.
Dread intensified, and slivers of ice raced along Ev�elyn�s spine.
�I�m so glad I found you.� Julie�s voice evened out. �I heard you joined
the FBI.�
She had? Evelyn had left Rose Bay at seventeen, after her grandma had
gotten sick and her mom had suddenly shown up again. She�d never gone back
and she hadn�t talked to anyone from Rose Bay in more than a decade.
�Yes,� Evelyn managed. Get on with it, she wanted to say. Just tell me
Cassie�s dead.
A sob welled up in her throat and Evelyn clamped her jaw tight, holding it
�You probably figured after all this time I�d only be calling� Well, it�s
about Cassie.�
Evelyn�s fingers started to tingle and she realized she�d squeezed Greg�s
hand so tight both of their knuckles had gone bloodless. But she couldn�t
seem to loosen her grip.
�You found her?�
�No. But the person who took Cassie is back.�

What our people have to say about working at Linklaters…
Alexander Weaver, New York Associate
I joined Linklaters for its standard-bearing international practice and the like-minded people who gravitate towards this type of work. It's a truly global firm where associates at every level routinely work across continents on the most complex problems in the world's leading legal markets. If you come with language skills, you will use them – and Linklaters will even support you with language lessons if you are interested in improving. As you grow in your career, secondments to offices abroad and to top clients are common. The opportunity to work abroad, and the fact that the firm makes offers on a global basis, both speak to the global approach to U.S. practice. The great thing about a firm with a strong international network is that you find you have a lot in common with your colleagues. Linklaters associates are adventurous, open-minded and respectful. More importantly, we have a lot of fun.
My experience as a summer associate in New York and London was highly representative of my experience as a first-year. The work and level of responsibility summer associates receive provide a realistic look at the life of an associate. In between all the good times and swanky meals – including a quick mid-summer retreat in London – you get substantive assignments and exposure to a variety of practice areas.
For the first year of practice in the New York office, associates are placed in a pool that spans all practice groups, including both transactional and dispute resolution work. This is great not only for people like me, who would prefer to explore practice areas for more than their 2L summer before making a final decision, but also for those new joiners with a direction in mind, as they can use the pool as an opportunity to train up and become more well-rounded lawyers. In my first year, I have worked on matters touching six continents, across a dozen practice groups and as many offices, and am now beginning to specialize in those matters that interest me most. On the back of a strong training program and mentor relationships across practice groups, I have been entrusted with complex tasks and given substantial autonomy. I usually interact with counterparts at other firms who are far senior to me. I have my own pro bono clients, and am given the latitude as an associate to maintain a strong commitment to community investment. When I am placed in a practice group, I will have a suite of skills to draw on to work through difficult issues, which will enable me to take on even more responsibility at an early stage.
Menaka Nayar, New York Associate
I knew Linklaters was the firm for me when I came back for my call back interviews and met the staff, associates and partners. Besides being friendly, smart and motivated, everyone truly embodied a global mindset. Working across cultures and countries (and time zones!) is a way of life here. That resonated deeply with me, given my personal background.
During my summer, I was able to dive deeply into the practice areas that I knew I had a strong interest in as well as dip a toe into a number of other practices. I worked with people in different offices (London and New York) and practice groups and was made to feel like a true member of the team. The substantive and meaningful work I received helped me to further clarify my practice interests.
As an associate, I have had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of different, interesting matters. As part of the Dispute Resolution practice, I've worked on commercial litigation matters as well as government investigations - always with a strong cross-border/multi-jurisdictional element, which makes the work challenging but truly fascinating. I've also had the opportunity to work on some very compelling pro bono cases, from advising local, regional and international organizations on human rights issues, to representing individual clients in Immigration and Family Court. I've even been given the opportunity to study Spanish so as to better serve our Spanish-speaking clients. I could go on, but in essence, my experience as an associate has vastly exceeded my expectations.

This week, Finnish educators from Koulumestari Elementary and Helsingin normaalilyseo (Normal School) are here visiting US schools, as well as learning about teacher/leader education programs at the University of Pennsylvania as part of our #pennfinn13 partnership. Below is the first post after today's visit to Penn's Graduate School of Education.
Visit to Penn GSE
In April we had visitors from University of Pennsylvania. They were trying to figure out what is special in Finnish school system. This week we have an opportunity to visit Philadelphia and meet some old friends and get to know new acquaintances. Goal of our visit is to find new ideas and create collaboration between Universities and schools. A very important issue is to collaborate in a practical student to student peer level.
Today we paid a visit to University of Pennsylvania. We met enthusiastic professionals that have same kind on ideologies that we do. There was one thing above all that we want to bring back to Finland with us. When you start your job as a teacher in a new area, you should get to know the neighborhood of that school. What kids do after school? Where and how they spend their free time? What is it like to be a kid today in area? How about students as experts making a tour in school neighborhoods with their new teacher? While getting familiar with each other a good idea is to discuss about the expectations vice versa.
Tip of the day: Knowing one's surroundings, its culture and history, makes you commit to your own neighborhood. See http://muralarts.org/

Today Geneva is universally recognized as a global financial center. Its reputation depends on the expertise and skills of the 35,600 people working in finance and banking. Innovation is another key success factor. The Geneva financial center is exploring many promising avenues to pioneer the finance of the future, including FinTech, sustainable finance and philanthropy.
Ten years after the global banking crisis, the Swiss financial industry faces its next crucial challenge. Once again, it must fundamentally renew itself, and perhaps even selectively reinvent itself. The driving force behind this new evolution is the growing digitalization of the banking sector.
In light of this, the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI) has examined, through a representative study, the current status of digitalization within the Swiss banking sector. The main objective of the study is to determine the level of digital maturity of Swiss banks compared with the rest of Europe. Switzerland leads 1-0 at half time!
Created in 1991 by the 80 banks that were members of the Geneva stock exchange, the Geneva Financial Center (GFC) is the umbrella association of the financial sector. The financial sector generates 35,600 jobs and accounts for 12% of Geneva's GDP. It is based on three main pillars: private and institutional wealth management, commodity trade financing, and commercial and retail banking. With the presence of activities such as marine freight and inspection, Geneva has emerged as an economic cluster with a unique concentration of skills. The central mission of the Geneva Financial Center is to support this value chain and to contribute to the development of an optimal business environment for all financial center partners.
The third Deloitte International Wealth Management Centre Ranking shines light on the competitiveness between international private wealth management centres and analyses their market volume, growth performance, profitability and efficiency over the past years.
The business environment for international wealth management centres has become more challenging over the last years. The focus for competitiveness has shifted towards provider capability and digital maturity. Between 2010 and 2017, there has been a fall in international market volume (IMV) as well as net new assets (NNA) of the leading centres. Cost competitiveness remains an ongoing challenge.
Switzerland still remains the biggest centre with US$1.84tn international market volume. The centre's well-rounded competitive characteristics enabled it to outperform its global counterparts by increasing its profit margin by 18.2% between 2015 and 2017.

Recently I watched a short video featuring Forrest Fenn. At the end he states that he said something during the interview that he wishes he hadn't said.
I am going to take a wild guess at what he wishes he hadn't said. He mentions that the treasure is in a place where you can smell pinyon.
According to the sometimes-reliable internet, this plant can be found in New Mexico and Colorado, but not Wyoming or Montana. That's IF I'm reading the info about pinyon properly – and that's a big IF.
So does this narrow things down even further to only New Mexico or Colorado? Who knows? That line may not even be the one he regrets saying.
You can see the video below.

Narrated by Victor Garber this documentary invites us on a journey to a part of the world that has always fascinated. In its vast snow and ice covered plains live animals who manage to survive even the coldest of temperatures. Let's not forget that there is ocean beneath the ice where creatures also glide though the frigid temperatures with out a care for the cold.
Now, researchers have joined the Inuit people who have lived for thousands of years but not to study that, but instead to join forces in discovering what is happening to the environment. Not only are they studying the land but learning about the Inuit people and hearing the stories of their culture and way of life that can also help understand.
Once again I am truly fascinated by what the documentary brings and does so with stunning clarity. Explaining the effects in the loss of ice mass, it brings into view why the researchers are there! It is also saddening to see what all of this has done to the polar bears of the Arctic – that is completely heartbreaking.
What man has been doing to the planet has been throwing the much needed and fragile system of the North into chaos. It is a chaos that is affecting the beautiful creatures that call the North their home.
Shout! Factory is proud to be the only independent studio releasing films in the new 4K UHD format, and Humpback Whales is part of an exciting slate that includes the incredible critically acclaimed and award-winning odysseys Journey to Space (June 7), Flight of the Butterflies (July 12), Rocky Mountain Express (July 12), and The Last Reef: Cities Beneath the Sea (Sept. 13). These films are produced by the world-renowned team of MacGillivary Freeman Films, K2 Communications, SK Films, The Stephen Low Company, GSF, Science North, Yes/No and Liquid Pictures.
SHOUT! Factory is devoted to bringing the best of pop culture to fans. From feature films, classic television series, animation and comedy specials are all available to add to your own home library. To see more of what they have to offer please visit www.shoutfactory.com.
The Bluray includes the 4K SDR and 4K HDR for the full UHD Experience along with the 3D Bluray, Bluray and Digital Copy that includes the Special Features of the 4K Trailer and Bonus Video. Every aspect of this combo set is stellar.
"Wonders of the Arctic" brings the viewer up close and colorfully personal with the animals but more importantly with the issues that the documentary raises. This is about how we treat our planet and when we don't treat it well, it affects animals who can't understand what is happening.
That is perhaps the part that hits me the most. Seeing these magnificent creatures that have survived so long and wonder what they make of it all. I love polar bears and the thought that my grandchildren or great grandchildren might not ever see one is not a thought I even want to entertain. Yet, it is possible and more so than we might want to believe.
So watch, listen and learn all that "Wonders of the Arctic" has to say because a place this amazing, this historical and this stunning beautiful needs to be our legacy.
In the end – it is a place of mystery, myth and fascination!

Hi im going to vietnam and cambodia in september of this year and was wondering what vaccinations i should get?
1 Answer
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends all travellers should be covered for, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Polio.
Tetanus and Diptheria require booster shots every 10 years, the others are routinely administered during childhood in most western nations (if you were not vaccinated as a child consult with a doctor).
Vaccination against Hepatitis A and B is also wise.
If you're spending a lot of time in Cambodia and Vietnam, or visiting frequently, especially if you intend visiting rural regions, you should consider vaccination for Cholera, Japanese Encephalitis and maybe Rabies.
Malaria is common in Cambodia, but NOT at Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, or Lake Tonle Sap. South Vietnam is bad for Malaria. You need to weigh-up the pros and cons of taking anti-malarials. Some say the nightmares and other side-effects aren't worth it.
Dengue Fever is a big problem in Cambodia and Vietnam. There's no vaccine for it, the only thing you can do is cover up, use insect repellent and sleep under a mozzie net. Fortunately this also reduces our risk of getting Malaria too.

College Curling
Broomstones' College Curling program has been around for over a decade and has hosted students from over a dozen different local colleges and universities from the Boston and Worcester area. The two mainstays of our college program have been from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tufts University joined us in 2016. Bentley has joined us in 2018.
Our Friday afternoon (4-6pm) collegiate program hosts weekly training sessions and head-to-head match ups between Harvard, MIT, Tufts, and any other schools or college students that attend. Bowdoin and Yale, among others, will occasionally join us for head-to-head matches.
Broomstones also hosts a college bonspiel in November that has broken records for the number of teams that play and routinely has one of the most number of colleges and universities represented outside of Collegiate Nationals, from New York to Maine, Pennsylvania to Oklahoma. The College Curling program also sends two to three teams to Collegiate Nationals every year. Recent results at Collegiate Nationals have had Harvard placing 4th in the nation in 2017, MIT winning the B event in 2016 and in 2015, MIT placing third and BU placing fifth with Harvard being knocked out of the third place competition by MIT. MIT won College Nationals in 2011.

Have many unidentified photos of Wilkinson family so would be exciting to identify
[email protected] Australia
nice photo. Is that a Wilkinson decendant?
I see David 1829-1904 is listed as buried at Campbell's Creek. Be careful of that because the place doesn't exist.
A lot of Victorian death certificates show the name of the cemetery listed as - Castlemaine, Campbells Creek or Campbells Flat. Campbell's Flat and Campbell's Creek didn't exist. They were just different names listed on death certificates for the Castlemaine Cemetery. He's buried at Castlemaine.
They've got a lot of nice photos of that era at the Castlemaine Library.

They truly are the best of all 3 breeds!! They can come in a variety of coats and colors, depending on the parents that are used for each individual litter.

Hello everyone...It's Sonya from Sonya's Paper Trail and I have another apple card to share today. I'm making a few cards to give to a teacher friend, and this one uses a scrap of really cute apple paper.
Check it out:
The paper is a scrap that I had picked up a long time ago at an Archivers Store. I so miss stopping in Archivers to shop while we were out traveling. *sigh* Anyway, I had enough to make two cards, so that started as my inspiration. I cut the banner, scalloped piece and the circles using my Cameo. The "thanks" is also a Silhouette Store find--isn't it perfect! I simply adhered everything, then added a couple of shiny brads and had two cards made in no time flat. I can hardly wait to give my friend a good supply of cards to have on hand.
I hope you are having a fantastic day!

p>OK I know I have a mental illness, I'm a logical young woman, but I don't understand it, and no-one has ever been able to help me so far, you're my last chance before I actually do go insane!
p>You see, ever since I was little, I always thought I was a bit different, I always assumed that maybe I saw the world a little bit differently to everyone else, and I do, I just don't really understand it. I like to be the centre of attention, but it's not just attention I crave, it's empathy and comfort, a bit of love. And you may think that makes me normal, but it gets wierder…
p>I don't want this attention, empathy and comfort, (now known as the ultimate trinity), from just anyone you see, I choose people. I choose sometimes a sister figure, and sometimes a um, little bit older, but never old enough to be a mother figure.
p>For example, when I was 13 I had my first prime victim, called Lucy, she's 4 years older than me, like a sister figure, and I wanted her to care, I wanted her to empathize with me, and comfort me. So i came up with plans of how to make this happen, I was bullied a lot in my old school, so much so that I changed schools, and I'd never really talked it out. So I would come up with scenarios in my mind, places where i would sit down and talk to her about it all, and she would feel sorry for me and comfort me, and I would cry and she would give me a hug.
p>I planned similar scenarios using the same issue with a few other 'victims', but these scenarios were never enough, not only did i come up with those, I came up with unrealistic ones too, I imagined the school burning down and us 2 being trapped and me being badly injured and 1 of them rescuing me, I imagined being held hostage, and 1 of them comforting me after watching the whole scene. I came up with it all, but it became so real in my head I felt almost desperate to make 1 of these fantasies real, sounds sick doesn't it?
p>So eventually I plucked up the courage to make my fantasies a reality, i organized to meet up with lucy and talk to her about and it went ok, i talked, she comforted and felt sorry, but i didn't cry, and I didn't understand why. This was ok, I was happy to have finally got what i wanted, but to me, it felt like a drug, ok so I got it once, now i felt indestructible. I was getting older, and becoming more aware of issues, and becoming more involved in different issues.
p>for about a year I would let myself get involved with issues that would upset me, and then pick a victim to help me out. or i would make myself ill or something and then a victim would have to help me out, it was so simple. The problem was, these issues weren't serious enough, I wanted to go nuclear so to speak, take it much bigger and get some proper attention and some proper comfort.
p>About that time I was dating a guy who treated me quite badly and he took advantage of me, naturally I used it to my advantage and told a victim about it, I also didn't break up with him as early as I should, in a sick kind of way I wanted it to keep happening, because the attention i was getting out of it, was greater than the pain,
p>it got me thinking, and by this time I knew i was sick, I knew i must be mentally ill, I just don't know what the illness is, and how it can be helped. OK, this was where my um, addiction took over and I took things to a much more serious level.
i watch a lot of TV, and I mainly focus on Casualty, Holby City, and CSI, and these 3 shows contain a lot of what I want, the most serious case of that is often rape. It makes my part vulnerable and the 'victim's heart often just cries out, wanting desperately to help. I became inspired, after a lot of going back and forth I found a guy who was up for the challenge. He lived in London, and I had no intention of calling the cops on him anyway, so when my folks finally decided it was ok to leave me home alone for a weekend, my brother was looking after me but at 18, he was partying instead obviously! I planned to have this guy come down to mine and basically rape me, but he didn't want to do it alone, he brought 2 of his friends along too.
p>So it happened, and I was 14, and unexperienced apart from with my previous boyfriend, so I didn't know what to expect, and it was a pretty horrible experience, but i still let it happen, and i let it go on longer than i needed to, for pure effect. I wanted to really experience it, before i could even think about getting anything out of it
p>And so now, 2 years on, I'm still meeting new victims, leading them in slowly, giving off subtle hints and slowly revealing what happened, (with a few minor details changed) and I still want more! I want, I don't' know, something more serial, more life-threatening, a real bonding time with my victim, where we can share, and open up, and also look out for each other, but ultimately her feel as though she wants to protect me, look after me,
p>I'm still letting things happen to me that shouldn't, I'm still creating situations for myself, and I still don't know what's wrong with me, if you have any ideas as to what might be wrong with me, or how i can be helped, (and I don't mean by seeing a damn shrink I don't do that) then please let me know! I'm desperate! and scared I might one day take things a step too far, and someone else might get hurt in the process!!

p>By writing this letter are you fishing for a new victim, perhaps? Do you genuinely want help? Maybe a little bit of both. Where does the manipulation stop and the hurting begin?
p>To summarize what is happening here for the benefit of readers, you have developed a pretty manipulative way of getting other people to care for you. You put yourself at risk (of abuse mostly) and actually get yourself hurt, and then you use your misery as bait to attract "victims"; people who are drawn to comfort you by the signal of your suffering. You've been doing this in one form or another for a while. Now that you are entering what is typically called "young adulthood" you're escalating the severity of your victimization by inviting worse and worse things to happen to you. There is a compulsive aspect to this behavior. You aren't able or willing to stop it from happening. You know that what you are doing is "sick" or "ill", but the payoff for doing it is enough that you do it anyway. Reading between the lines, there is a certain amount of pride you display as you describe how you manipulate situations to your desire. I believe that you are sincere in being alarmed at what you're doing, and wanting to stop, but there is also clearly a part of this behavior that you like, that makes you feel confident or something. It is the pride of a confidence person around whom other people revolve and who are at his or her mercy. The predator confidence of a spider sitting in her own web waiting for flies.
p>Your condition may be similar to "Factitious Disorder", otherwise known as M?nchhausen's Syndrome. Whether or not this diagnosis actually applies to you cannot be known until such time as you get yourself diagnosed by a local psychologist or psychiatrist. But superficially at least, it does sound as though you're in this general ball park. To quote the DSM,
"Factitious Disorders are characterized by physical or psychological symptoms that are intentionally produced or feigned in order to assume the sick role."
"The essential feature of Factitious Disorder is the intentional production of physical or psychological signs or symptoms (Criterion A). The presentation may include fabrication of subjective complaints (e.g., complaints of acute abdominal pain in the absence of any such pain), falsification of objective signs (e.g., manipulating a thermometer to create the illusion of fever), self-inflicted conditions (e.g., the production of abscesses by injection of saliva into the skin), exaggeration or exacerbation of pre-existing general medical conditions (e.g., feigning of a grand mal seizure by an individual with a history of seizure disorder), or any combination or variation of these. The motivation for the behavior is to assume the sick role (Criterion B)."
p>A variation of factitious disorders are factitious disorders by proxy. In this lovely condition, you have someone who makes someone else who is dependent on them sick in order to play up their care giving role. For example, a mother might poison her child in order to enjoy caring for her now sick child. Clearly this is not your thing, and that is wonderful.
p>In other words, people with a factitious disorder make themselves (or someone else) sick (or appear to be sick) in order to gain the attention of caregivers (medical or otherwise). As you can see from these descriptions, the condition can get really bad and very disruptive of a person's life. Champion factitious disorder patients get very skillful at manipulating doctors into performing unnecessary surgeries and dispensing unnecessary drugs, etc. Thankfully, this isn't where you're at. Hopefully you'll find the description pathetic enough to not want to go there.
p>Factitious disorder is usually seen in the context of medical services, which is why it is described in medical terms above. You're not doing your thing in the context of hospitals, but you are doing something very similarly manipulative with your "victims".
p>Factitious Disorder is a way of relating to others in a manipulative way. It is a cousin disorder to pathological lying, which, curiously enough, is not defined in the DSM, although I don't know why not. It is thought to be related to a class of problems known as personality disorders, and specifically to a sub-class of personality disorders known as the "dramatic-erratic" Cluster B, containing the antisocial, borderline, narcissistic, and histrionic personality disorder diagnoses. Think of personality disorders as psychological developmental delays; ways in which people fail to mature in the social maturity dimension, often due to early traumatic experience and particular personality sensitivities. People with Cluster B personality disorders tend to be rigid and compulsive in the ways that they handle relationships. They tend to want to be the center of attention, and to have a difficult time seeing other people as equal beings who aren't just there to serve the needs of the personality disordered person.
p>You want to know what help is available, and the short answer is that if you are dealing with something like a factitious disorder or personality disorder, the only real help for these sorts of conditions is psychotherapy. These are not medical conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder where there is a brain problem that will benefit from medication. These are problems with the way your personality, your "self" is seeing things. The way you are seeing things is causing you to harm yourself, and to manipulate other people into caring for you. Both of these behaviors are really problematic; they dramatically lower your chances for finding happiness in life.
p>These diagnoses are fundamentally relationship problems, not physical ones, and only through the relationship of psychotherapy (or something similar) are they helped. You are very young, and it is certainly possible that you'll mature out of this stuff, but so far things look like they're getting worse not better, so I wouldn't count on that. If you aren't willing to see a "shrink" for talk therapy, there probably isn't much that can be done at this point in time.

It is said that this sort of assistance may sometimes be found online, from television shows, or it may be cheat materials in black and white. Many of these items have successfully helped gamers achieve victory in one form or another; but they don't prove yielding equally for all types of games.

There's a 'great buzz' surrounding Gaoth Dobhair ahead of today's Ulster Club SFC semi-final against Crossmaglen, according to manager Mervyn O'Donnell.
A 12 year wait for Donegal SFC honours has come to an end and large numbers will travel to Healy Park today to throw their support behind the team.
"There is a great buzz, but for us it is a great challenge," O'Donnell said in an extensive interview with GAA.ie.
"The lads want to play the best and a lot of them have been involved with the county at some stage. I think maybe 80 per cent of the squad have played county at some level whether it be 16s, minor, 21 or county, they know what it is like to play the bigger teams and the occasion. There is no fear as far as I can say.
"We have a great fanbase as well and you can see that there is a great buzz within our parish. The flags and the bunting is up everywhere, everyone has got behind us."Tweet

I know you probably all have cherry blossoms by now. I also know I don't have much time to spend here these days. I might find out on Monday I have to move out in 7 days so it doesn't look like it will get better anytime soon. But that will be for a good reason. I'll be back though. Looking forward to the summer.

Yahoo Answers BurglarySimilar to YouTube videos Yahoo Answers get a large amount of traffic from the website itself as well as Search Engine Traffic.
In fact, search engine traffic to Yahoo Answers is almost inevitable as many people type their searches into Google as questions.
Another advantage of Yahoo Answers is that they allow Level 2 users to post links directly into their answers and in the resource box.
This is another area where you will want to link to helpful articles or resources such as wikipedia with your popup or exit popup.
Posting affiliate links directly into Yahoo answers will get your questions deleted and your account banned so don't do it.
After all, we created Click Jacker, so that you don't have to do that. I'll give you an illustration to make the concept easier..
Type in a your keyword and refine your search to "Open Questions" by
selecting the appropriate option.
This will restrict your questions to only the most recent ones that are still open for you to answer.
Don't worry, there is always a ton of activity on this website so you
shouldn't have any trouble finding a question about your product.
As I mentioned earlier you will need to have a Level 2 answers account to post a link in your response.
You can get this the hard way by answer questions, receiving votes
for the best answer, asking questions and participating on the site.
OR you can buy them on fiverr.com. This seller is offering a gig for five Level 2 Accounts that will be
delivered in Less than 24 Hours:
I've bought from this seller before and have several accounts still active and working months after I purchased them.
Okay, back to work, let's get this question answered...
Many of the reviews you find are written by people that make money when you buy the product. Luckily I found a website that outlines
both the Pros and Cons of Garcinia as well as the best products
based on user feedback. You can find it in the resource box below
One way to improve your chances of making your link stick when answering questions on Yahoo answers is to post a link to your Facebook fan page instead of directly using your Click Jacker link

'Pretty Little Liars' Creator to Pen Horror Film 'The Merciless' for Lionsgate
Lionsgate has acquired feature film rights to Danielle Vega's upcoming horror novel The Merciless and has set Pretty Little Liars creator and showrunner Marlene King to adapt the novel.
Inspired by real events, the book is set for publication on June 12 by Razorbill Books.
King will serve as an executive producer on the film. Alloy Entertainment's Leslie Morgenstein (Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl) and Alloy Features' Elysa Dutton will produce.
PHOTOS: 35 of 2014's Most Anticipated Movies: 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' 'Maleficent'
The Merciless is a story of good girls gone evil. The new girl at a small-town high school is taken in by the popular clique, only to have them compel her into joining them in a dangerous exorcism of a punky, rebellious classmate.
"Like everyone, we are big-time Pretty Little Liars fans; and like everyone, we can't wait to see Marlene writing about teen girls exorcising the devil out of other teen girls," said Erik Feig, co-president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
Added Morgenstein: "We know we have something special with this project that'll entertain, shock and make audiences rethink what evil truly means. Working with Marlene on the film is exciting because it continues a great relationship that started with our work together on Pretty Little Liars."
Q&A: 'Pretty Little Liars' Boss on Finale: 'We Pushed Our Fans to the Breaking Point'
King's credits also include the TV series Ravenswood and the films Now and Then and Just My Luck.
"I've had a great time collaborating with Les Morgenstein and Alloy on Pretty Little Liars and have enjoyed the thrill of scaring millions of teenagers every week," she said. "I intend to be merciless with the script and hope our audience will need to sleep with their lights on after seeing the movie."
Feig is overseeing the project for the studio along with Gillian Bohrer and Jina Jones.
Alloy Entertainment packaged the project. The deal was negotiated by Morgenstein on behalf of Alloy and Robert Melnik, who represented the studio.
King is repped by WME and Morris Yorn.

Key points to consider in the evolution of the PUE data center metric
when relevant content is
added and updated.
Yesterday I blogged about the Uptime Institute's criticisms of PUE, specifically that the Green Grid metrics whitepaper does not explicitly discuss the need to gather PUE data over time. Microsoft's Christian Belady (one of the key developers of the PUE metric) responded with the following:
"Ken [Brill of The Uptime Institute] has some valid points, clearly there needs to be more clarity and refinement in the definition to make it a rock solid benchmark. PUE is a "living metric" that the industry and in particular the Green Grid is working. But with all of the issues that are in the process of being resolved, here are three basic facts:
1) All metrics can and will be gamed regardless of the crispness of their definition. Show me a metric and I can come up with a way to game it.
2) Companies that are measuring PUE are improving their PUE over time. So they are improving their efficiency
3) Companies that are not measuring, are likely not improving. So these companies will be at a competitive disadvantage.
Microsoft is a company that is measuring (since 2004) and improving our PUE benchmarking against ourselves. There is no reason any other company cannot do this. Comparison with other companies is useful but less important to us as long as we demonstrate continuous improvement in our PUE. We hope that the issues people have with PUE for external benchmarking will be cleaned up in time but we do not plan on waiting until then for continuous improvement in our own operations."
Here are a few key points to consider in the ongoing evolution of PUE:
Gaming PUE is going to happen
A lot of data center providers have included PUE ratios in press releases lately, many of them incredibly low. Rich Miller at Data Center Knowledge says he's seen it before. "That's pretty much what happened with the Uptime Tier System, which set forth a four-tier rating system for data center reliability. Data centers began describing themselves as equivalent to 'tier three-plus' or even 'tier five.'"
PUE will need to evolve into a dynamic quality control metric
Dave Ohara at GreenM3 has a great explanation of how data center pros should use PUE in a dynamic way. "What helped me to think of PUE as a dynamic number is to think of it as quality control metric. The quality of the electrical and mechanical systems and their operations over time are inputs into PUE. As load changes and servers will be turned off the variability of the power and cooling systems influence your PUE. So, PUE can now have a statistical range of operation given the conditions. This sounds familiar. It's statistical process control."
Standards and training needed on how and when to measure PUE
Data center managers getting started with a PUE measurement program need some guidance — where, when and how do you take the most meaningful measurements? Microsoft's Mike Manos and Belady have put together an excellent PUE Strategy post on their blog, The Power of Software. This checklist takes PUE newbies from measuring by walking around with a clipboard to data center chargeback. The Uptime Institute's Pitt Turner has a great webcast on how to measure PUE on UPS and PDU equipment. The next step will be to get everybody doing this in the same way — which is where ASHRAE TC 9.9 comes in. The organization supports PUE and announced plans to develop a publication that would standardize PUE measurement methodology in November 2007, but no word so far on the progress of that project.

Surya 2006
Once upon a journey, ten contemporary storytellers of different cultures create an imaginary epic story. They each draw on their own style and own language to prolong the life of a nameless hero. The aromas of cultures, the taste of words and the perfume of travelling carry us from one storyteller to the next. Like an epic story, this film oscillates between imagination and reality, the inner world and the outside world, documentary and fiction.

Six Feet Under-Torment (2017)
Torment is the band's latest outing and marks their shift away from the thrash-influenced riffing and towards a more technical death metal approach to the guitar work whilst pushing for a more groove-oriented sound that incorporates a lot more melody into the frenzy of technically accomplished guitar lines. Blast beats and tremolo picked riffs is the main course on this album. Incredible doses of pure gore-ridden Death Metal brutality and this is essential. It carries an extremely melodic approach without ever really compromising the flat out heavy sound that Six feet under are renowned from. Barnes decided to take a much more decipherable style of growling and this really works within the context of the album as he is constantly painting gruesome pictures over the top of some of the most controlled chaos ever put to his records. The guitar work on this album is a mass of trills and sliding power chord with tremolo picked riffs scattered throughout which leads to this being a record for any aspiring guitar player out there to attempt to play along to and marvel at the technical wizardry on display. The drumming is a solid performance, the bass performance on this album is incredibly complex and brutal. Torment is an absolutely essential Death Metal album and could be considered as an entry point for anyone who is unfamiliar with the genre to sink their teeth into. This is a fast and furious display of aggression that is packed full of great songs such as "Sacrificial Kill", "Skeleton" and "Funeral Mask". As part of a genre not renowned for being catchy this album could be considered as somewhat of an anomaly but it is a good form of anomaly and finds the band at their peak of creativity.
