I can't do it, man. I'm totally not into the whole "make your life better and fulfilling" deal.
Hah! Actually, what the hell, I have no idea. I could have a ticker-tape list of all the sources of my enormous and all-consuming rage. We could have a parade and through all the crap into the streets and leave it for the street-sweepers to clean up. Maybe then I'll finally be able to let go.
I mean, what does it take? Why is it that people can cling to life in third world countries, enduring famine, war, hell, really BIG DEALS, but I can't be friggin' satisfied with my central heat and air and refridgeration and stock portfolio and college education? Why is it that learning to cope with yourself and your own faults seems like a monumental obstacle?
I know, I know. Grow up, Cici. Stop freaking out ever few months about existential issues. Be zen, Be. Breathe.
I just see it as a terrible weakness.

Ugh Cici, I hear your having a bad day? I had to laugh yesterday when I was searching desperately for some papers I had written the package from the Peace Corps. I though of you. We are special souls, we question this and that, and then question the this and that response. Sometimes I wish I could turn it off my self, but its who I am. I guess maybe that is where the zen of it for the day can be is accepting that your not accepting. Keep breathing. We still love you, just the way you are.

Cici...you're growing up...that's evident. Just hung up on something you're being stubborn about. (smile) Have no idea what that is but from knowing you a little, I'd say you are in your cerebral hat and refusing to connect to the feeling one. You're such a smart little cookie....and sometimes, what we need to wrestle to the ground really isn't that complicated, but if we're scared to go there or feel helpless in some way - we will try like nuts to paint it something else with our brain. We'll slice it, dice it and make ticker tape out of it. Only to frustrate ourselves to no end because quite honestly - we do know what's up and we won't deal with it.
Something isn't setting well with you.. something isn't adding up...what is it?

Emotions suck big time. They suck big, sweaty booty.
I can sit on the toilet and read "Yoga Journal" until I get hemerrhoids, and you know what? I still don't get it. I can have insight into other people's dilemmas, but when in comes to my own I am soooooo farsighted. I'm squinting like my Mom does at the newspaper because she refuses to admit that she needs reading glasses.
I feel like I'm having a mid-life crisis. Yet, I still hope I won't die at 44. Har har har.
No, no no. Emotions do suck. Really. they do one of two things: they make you super-pissed off, or they set you up and make you all jazzed and then you get to fall from your pesdastel and land right on your collarbone. Maybe that's it. I'm just in emotional traction right now, and my nose itches, but I can't reach to scratch it because I'm in a full-emotion cast.
I had the biggest infatuation with Spock when I was little. Wow, what emotional control. Me, I'm one minute up, one minute down. HUbby suggested I see a psychiatrist fo rmy bipolar mood disorder, as if he has absolutely no idea what's going on in my crazy head. Lately I've taken to referring to myself as the insane one. I can't even make it to the computer to post, or articulate my distress. Blarbleepleblop. That's it.

I actually got past the anxiety and started to really fill out an employment application, and my explorer, had a .dill, attack, and closed. Is that a sign?

I won't second guess Cici here. She's a bright and highly sensitive young lady. I just know that we do talk in code alot so wanted her to interpret if she felt safe to do so... I do think that when I look back over what my abuser did to me and then he ended up almost fatally wounding himself...(saying all the time he was doing it that it was because of me, mind you) I still felt guilty, horrible for being angry and all of a sudden the spotlight was on him and his disabled state. Everyone, including me - had to wait on him. I stuffed some enormous anger and felt guilty the whole nine yards. Then he became a Christian on top of everything - through this experience. How sweet. I tried to take that one in as well....tried...
But, what I saw was - a major deception. One that was supposed to - excuse his behavior. All he said to me was - sorry you had a bad life...that was his apology, which later - wasn't good enough for me - thus my confrontation to him. Not for him but for me.
I think if he had of been in some bad physical state, I would had to work this out, just with me, but he wasn't - he remembered, even though he tried to worm out of it and say - the bullet he put in his head that night - erased his memory...
Um, no.
He remembered alot of things after that, just selected things - he did not remember. He remembered all right and when he looked at me that day that I talked to him - he knew I knew - he remembered.
But, it's not about always "talking to them". If you can - fine, but the major battle is within "us" and how to come to a place of releasing their poison and their hypocrisy in our life and to really look at it - right between the eyes and call it - which DOES NOT mean that it reflects badly on us in any way because we dare to do so. That's the big hurdle.
We are so wrapped up in "how we should be" as is reflected to us in other people's eyes, fashioned by their own demons and lives of denial they have lived - then SO should we damn it! I think not, thank you very much. I can think for myself. You may have put up with bullshit and not moved on in health but I don't have to inherit the whirlwind of destruction from you and refuse to. End of story.
Guilt - misplaced - is a killer. And we who do not face that one squarely - pay for it dearly with our lives. I don't care who these people are in our lives, what label they wear, how wonderful they are in the community, how they may have "changed", blah, blah, blah. They started the cancer and the consequences of that motion can never be erased. It has to be addressed within "us" and corrected as to who - who did what and what rights we have as human beings to sort out, to lay blame right where it belongs, to be responsible about it and to move on - without clingly roots of denial, misplaced guilt and buried fears and anger. No more. There has to come a time of "no more".
If we struggle....it usually because of these things....and because our true inner self knows the path we must walk and we hesitate... Calling it a myriad of other things, looking to the left and to the right, under the bed and up at the sky, all the while the wound festers and grows and grows with intensity....like a cancer - we feed it.
The moment of truth is when we face it and go Okay....I will speak it and let the chips fall where they will. Then I will build a new structure - the one I have every right to. I didn't start this destruction, but I will "identify" it's origin and it's path and I will leave this path for my own "way".

Sorry about my latent postings. I'm having to use up my free time collecting observational play data at the preschool we're researching.
My Dad, no it wasn't him I think. I have no idea. He's this very remote person, very distant. Hell, he's 50 yars older than me.
But Frank, with his black shadow hands around my throat, is an amalgamation of my childhood molester, my first rapist, my second rapist, my distant father turning away from Mom beating her children with broomsticks. The first rapist was a friend. A boy - the first one since I have been molested who made me feel comfortable. The second was a boyfriend, well, not at first. First he got me drunk and raped me, then he told me I was pretty much useless to other men because of what he had done and somehow convinced me that I could only be with him.
The thing is that I am working through my rage. But recently, on a handful of occassions, I've erupted into violence. Mom-style. Hurling breakables at my spouse and punching him in the face and stomach. I kneed him in the balls this last time, boy was he pissed. Bruised up my arms and hands all over by beating on his head. Screaming all the while. I'm turning into my Mom and it scares me. For the first time in my life I have lost complete control of myself and just blacked out during my rage periods. They last about 15 minutes. I work out on a punching bag with kicks and hooks and jabs about 3 times a week, I don't understand why I can't get my rage out in a safe place.
The story, reminded me of my wedding. Just that feeling of depersonalization, not being real or really attached. That thought she had, at the altar, "I can always have an affair" - ran through my head continually. Still does. It's like, you can only let yourself love someone who can hurt you. If he makes you feel safe, comfortable, happy, you can't trust him because he will wait until you're vulnerable and he WILL hurt you.

Cici....I don't understand this statement...
"The first rapist was a friend. A boy - the first one....since I have been molested.....who made me feel comfortable."
Are you saying there was a molestation before you were raped the first time?
As far as this is concerned....
"My Dad, no it wasn't him I think. I have no idea. He's this very remote person, very distant. Hell, he's 50 years older than me."
I'm just going to comment here, like I would to anyone because it's something you need to hear for "you" if it applies to you or for your knowledge in general...
But, I see a "haze" here....one that is very interesting to me. You really don't know, that's apparent, so it's worth the consideration and would explain much if you applied this template to you and how you react to your husband in so many ways. I think you know that template fits, but what is so common with us is - that one place, regardless of how smart we are, or trained or whatever - we will extremely blind to and resist going there like visiting hell itself.
You could have picked alot of other articles, Cici to have sent besides this one. The central focus of this article wasn't that she was feeling like she could have an affair. Although, this is where you are concentrating, like a child telling someone something and then saying - no, I didn't, I didn't say that the prince was an evil gargoyle, I said that I was talking about his horse being evil.
It looks like a child's way of getting it out there - but withdrawing behind the curtain to see if - it's okay to say it. Will people run away, what will they say, how will "I" feel about it?
I'm not saying it did happen, Cici. Just wanting you to look at all options and go toward things that "fit". If this were the case - it would definitely explain your anger. Your father is old and disabled - you can't clear anything up with him now. Your mother would blow a gasket probably if you said anything like this. You'd be the bad little girl all over again.
If mom hit you with broomsticks...."why" might that be? Because I'll tell what the most logical scenario is - since you are who you are and exhibiting the signs you are.... pay close attention...
If....Dad is the perpetrator early on and I'm talking - early, maybe even toddler stage - it still registers with you - No. 1. It's a violation, period. And, a child at an early age - would have rage and anger as a way of expressing themselves because they probably wouldn't be able to put things into words....feelings are all she would have.
And here's the kicker....if Mom saw Dad doing this - knew about it, maybe even fought with him about, but somehow it got patted down in a real crippled way between them - the way it goes usually is - the Dad becomes distant with the daughter and "allows" the Mom to exact punishment and abuse on the daughter because the Dad needs to have a scapegoat for his own behavior. It then falls on - Mom needs an outlet against Dad and daughter can wear the shame for Dad and be the dog she takes her own rage out on.
You absorbed someone's rage beside your own in this instance... And you assumed guilt and responsibility from someone as well.
The Dad then just stands back and looks good. May have a rotten relationship with his wife and daughter, but he's not the one wailing on the kid - she is...and he lets her do it. Then he's just the "distant" father - but not the guilty looking one, right? Passive aggressive tactics once again - work just like a charm and the real culprit escapes without a scratch.
The other thing that plays out here is - the daughter assumes the position of feeling like - the other woman who stole her mother's husband. Not a fun feeling....and the mother's rage towards the daughter and all the snide put-downs, one woman to another - doesn't help matters either. It's all bad...
And subconsciously - it ends up making the daughter feel - I identify with my mother because she is what I looked to as identification of my place in this world as a female in a relationship with a man - good, bad or ugly - that's what we do.
So, what gets imprinted is - her husband was unfaithful to her...therefore, my whole basis for how I see faithfulness in a marriage - is messed up, especially because - it was with me....he was unfaithful, even if I was a toddler or whatever age. You would always ask the question - can I be faithful, can he because the greatest and most influential model of that - was shattered early on.
Now...if this hypothesis is true about "you"....it would explain alot of things. Would explain why you were a target with these other guys. Not saying that YOU BROUGHT IT ON. Not at all. But, I am saying - we are terribly vulnerable to these kinds of people...our radar is majorly messed up with them and we don't see things coming, especially in our younger years.
Just something to think about and if it's not the case, then maybe you could put it in your box of things to apply to someone else down the road as a consideration.
Rage won't cease....until the key in the door "fits". That's what we scream for is - truth. Nothing else will do. Then....we find peace.
You do put up with me, don't you? (smiles and hugs) You're not crazy, sweetheart...quite the contrary. There's a huge reason for everything you are experiencing and I want you to get to the bottom of it. Love ya.

Yes, I was molested when I was 5. The first rape happened when I was 12.
Ladeska. You don't know how much your last post affected me. Maybe you do...ha ha.
The fact of the matter is that I simply don't know. I may never. Do I want to? Hell no. I still don't remember my first rape. Just right before and right after. I have no memories from my childhood, either. None before I was 8 years old, except for disturbing flashes. Those flashbacks though, never include anyone. I remember me, as a little girl, maybe 3 or 4 or 5, doing strange adult things to my little body. I always attributed it to the swim teacher. Maybe there never was a swim teacher. Maybe I made him up to have a "safe" person to associate these memories with.
Oh Ladeska. "What tangled webs we weave when we humans seek to deceive." Suddenly I don't feel that strange tension anymore. I just feel very very sad. An immense sorrow.

Ohhh Cici...my little Cici...sweetie, yes, I do know or "know somewhat" how this affected you. At least you're peering around the corner, as honestly and as bravely as you can at this point. The thing is - your body does remember and has a hard time connecting with your mind, especially the little one with the adult. Different language, but not impossible. Just different. The adult has to be willing to learn the language of the child, because it can't go - the other way.
Her code - is what it is and you have to learn it. I think one of the most important steps in finding out "who" - is to give "permission" to yourself - saying if it was him....it's okay...it's okay....I can let you say it and I won't reject you, won't turn my back on you...I will embrace you and focus my anger where it belongs - at what happened.
The child in us is sooo scared of rejection. The attic is a lonely place, very lonely place. And if a child has something like this happen, even if it is molestation and not rape - pretty much same difference...especially if it is a parental figure. Many more elements come into play as I pointed out before when this is the figure involved..
So, in order to find out what's what to the best of your ability....you must give that child a safe place to "be" within you. A no fly zone. Just as you were physically speaking to a child....you focus on her and say - it's okay....I'm listening to you now, so do what you have to do, speak to me in all the ways you can, I want to be re-united to you so that we can become whole and leave this ugly place together - intact - as one.
The absence of the strange tension may be a little girl's hand - relinquishing the fist that she's been beating you up with. She may have finally - gotten your attention...
You have no idea....how much YOU touch My heart...
My little girl wants to come have tea - with your little girl...

Cici...touching yourself before the age of 5, before the molestation, and not just in a way of exploration, which probably wouldn't take place at that early age, to the extent of you remembering "that" and feeling shame and not remembering - other things. This is significant. Shame being attached - is of major importance here.
You not remembering the face is common and even more common if it was someone you trust and love and has authority over you. That would be a fate worse than death - to acknowledge the identity of the face. Even as an adult - that would be hard now - even harder for a child....they split, they sometimes disentegrate altogether because this is just too destructive. They can't cope, can't handle this, it doesn't compute and they can't make it compute.
One of the most common things I used to do was when something would happen - I would project it elsewhere by telling myself a story about it and then commit - that - to memory instead of the other.
My dad was reading my pornographic fairy tales at nighttime as a child and getting off on it. But, to me, I said dad was just being silly and was reading to himself and not to me at all.
I never acknowledged those stories until I picked up a childcraft book about 10 years ago and looked at the fairy tale book and read The Highwayman.... He read it to me as - they raped the man's girlfriend, tied her to the bed and raped her, one after the other in clear view of the window where her lover would be coming into view and see it.
I freaked when I remembered this and immediately my mind went back to grab the story I had told myself about it, but I wrestled with myself and finally went....this is true...he did this....then, I just broke down and cried and cried and cried. I finally saw the child and the adult thinking as separate things. I was under the age of 7 yrs. My first memory of being raped - was 9, but obviously other things happened before then.
There's a mechanics here that you really have to come to understand....and like I said - even if it's not what happened, it may help you unlock what did and who did more....
Obviously, something of major importance has moved in you...whatever you do - don't let your analytical mind shut her down. You'll want to do this....but fight it to the floor and keep the door open for a little child to come through, shaking and scared to death...and also angry that she's had no words to communicate her wounds with. If...for the first time she has your attention....then this time - will be so very fragile. Step carefully.

Cici...I'm going home now in about five minutes. But, will check in during the weekend to talk to you. Just wish you were a few minutes away and we'd go do something, have a beer, chuck water ballons at people or go to my favorite canyon and break bottles and scream like really primitive scary little people....
I've never forgotten what I read one time about empathy....it was described simply as..
Two little boys sitting on the curb, both of them with their heads in their hands, downcast, quiet. The adult passing by asks - what's the matter. One little boy looks up and very seriously says...
"We" have a pain in Billy's stomach.
I just call it friendship...same difference. Empathy is too big a word for me anyways. Especially for us little girls....(smile)
....okay, we wouldn't have a beer, we'd have tea...in our tea sets....
The ocean is pretty from where I'm sitting right now. Very big, very still, very limitless....

So many feelings. Weirdness. A disjointed kind of calmness. Maybe healthy, maybe not.
I was in yoga class today, doing inversions. Handstands, headstands, shoulderstands. Difficult asanas that require centering, being "in" your body instead of inside your head. I was talking to my instructor afterwards and he was telling me how certain asanas, as a student, burn away the deeply seated psychological blocks we build to separate our spiritual being with our consciousness.
I am flexible, but I am tense in my hip flexors, which indicates a blackage in the lowest chakra, the one associated with the power of sexuality and reproductive awareness. He told me that as I worked on increasing my hold in the poses, my mind would slowly build inner strength along with my body, and the obstacles I had avoided would be attainable to me as time passes.
He recommended some readings, and going over them I read that yoga, "yuj" (Sanskrit for Yoking), united the spiritual with the physical body. By strengthening my inner body, I strengthen my outer. Maybe I am finally strong enough to face this with perspective.
Slow and steady. No more big emotional scenes. I was thinking about the pain, the hidden secrets and mistakes and blame that every family builds in their web. Deceit, taught to yourself and your children and your parents. "Smile, though your heart is breaking..."
Yoga is perhaps a better crutch than drugs, doncha think? ha ha ha.

I've been thinking so much about so many things. Late into the night, awoke early in the morning. I feel unidentifiable emotions. Kind of sad.
I was talking to my husband about this though yesterday, before he left for the weekend to see his parents and I thankfully had a pleasant time by myself. He said I may never know and I know that and I don't want to know I just have all these emotions, this strange feeling of understanding, but not the kind where everything coalesces into some enlightened space. Just patterns, patterns, subconscious patterns of behavior, ways to protect yourself from a threat that no longer exists, recognizition of some deeply held sorrow, some secret that holds so much and so little.
I prided myself on working each day to forgive my rapists. to forgive is to grow, to be better. The best revenge is a life well-lived, right? In the quiet hum of being, being alone and now, there is too much room for clinging.
I'll see him tonight, crippled by insecurities, delusions, what is right and what is wrong, the world we create when we shut ourselves inside a house and never, ever come out again. It becomes minute, and fantastic.
Laying in bed, early this morning, I had a flash of so many memories that I never let myself think about until this very fucking day. What about those times? Those times I tried to make myself endure with a smile. When Mommy left for basic training and Daddy made you sleep in bed with him and make him dinner and take care of him. You got to play Mommy for a few weeks. Your sisters were gone to summer camp and it was just you and him and that nagging feeling of not right, no I don't want it this way I want my own bed. I wanted to sleep in my own bed. I just wanted to. I wasn't allowed.
So shocking how easily I could fall into bed with someone I had just met when I was first in college. The way I could be sexual but never intimate, I was like a man. I never went more than 2 weeks without sex. I would go out after I was raped the second time and look for men to get. To have sex. And leave. Relationships were an impossibility because I was unable to tolerate them after a few days. They disgusted me, they were repulsive and made me sick to my stomach when they touched me. So I would just leave and find another boy.
Am I being too raw? It's how I feel. What I am seeing inside my head. This is something else, apart from my value as a human being, as a woman, as an insightful or deceitful human being, this is just emotional vomit. Realization and recognition. My goal is not a touchy-feely resolution, Ladeska, I think you know that that is not possible in the sticky web of family politics. Maybe just a humanistic resolution. To look at myself both honestly and acceptingly. To see the flaws and glories and be balanced.
Denial is not a river in egypt. heh heh heh.

Its not??? Damn....... All of these memories did it start with the asanas? or with the lavender? Cleary Sage, you supposedly can get drunk with and lavender for some stimulates the dreams, my sis, and youngest have to be careful with it. Any of the scents can unlock memories, its the oldest part of the brain. I scents to help people stop smoking, tension, eating disorders, different scents for different things. I can't live with out the stuff, and What he said about the yoga is true, very true, we have some people in our class which is a very very safe place, break down, and go what was that all about. We also do chakra balancing, and exercises once and a while, better than an md, or a shrink, and you get flexible and firm all at the same time har har har.
Some of the things you are writing remind me of things that I hadn't given signifigance to as well, I recalled them quite some time ago, even when I was in school, and sorta went into the river with it. Abuse comes in way to many varieties.
Take care Cici, and take all that good smell in. My favorite combo is chamomile, lavender, and rose geranium, it is also supposed to be good for your skin, and lavender will take care of any burn, but you need to use the oil straight. I almost forgot to tell you about Vetiver, that is a really grounding scent, it reminds me of the smell of earth. it comes from the roots of a tree, go figure.

Cici....sticky webs of family politics....? yes, I would know something about that one. And you can't heal you - through them, very true. Isn't possible. Would be nice, but highly unprobable they would - be a part.
Your memory of being with your dad in this way - is highly significant. As is - the chemistry of how your mom has been with you as well, as I described above. You definitely have a well seated pattern that goes way back, even before your rapes, before your molestation, something was locked in early.
The body does need to be "with you" in all of this and doing whatever conjunctively, whether it is yoga, dance, swimming, whatever - is useful and I think quite necessary for healing in a whole way and at an accelerated rate.
This is an interesting journey you are on, a path that has different languages, rhythms that you are just now - learning how to speak, translate.
I totally understand the need to seek out the people for sex and then turn away and not be able to connect. The trust button has been badly damaged as has the whole function of a man with a woman because you do seem to be remembering it being - a man with a child. Doesn't compute and why should it? Until she grows up and connects to you and you become whole - it won't be possible the way you know it can be. She's still a child, Cici and it doesn't feel right. The feelings are not right, not there and they shouldn't be.
The road to resolution isn't scripted by anyone because it is your own. And the vomit must definitely come up and out. That one paragraph about you being mom or a surrogate wife really says alot. For one thing, emotional incest is just as bad as the physical kind and maybe you need to read up on that....and give yourself an open path to just look at how this one thing has affected you and what lies may have been laid in the place of truth - that now need to be ripped up by by the roots and replaced with "understanding" for a child and her pain.
What do you mean you weren't allowed to have your own bed? And how old were you then?

Region: Paarl
The Bernard Series was named after Bernard Podlashuk, visionary co-founder of the Bellingham brand and maverick winemaker. Never quite satisfied to be just ordinary, he is recognised for his daring vision, sheer audacity and unabated drive that helped place South African wine on the map. The legend of his tenacity and innovative flair lives on through the Bernard series, Bellingham's premium range of hand-crafted wines.
Tasting notes
A powerful aromatic wine that is assertive and yet delicate and refined with ample cracked black and white pepper spice, hints of rich dark chocolate against a substantial blackberry and mulberry fruit foundation tinged with subtle floral suggestions of violets and dried indigenous fynbos.
Food pairing
This wine is particularly recommended with full flavoured dishes like roast venison, aged fillet and rump steaks, spicy sausages or confit of duck.

Before the evolution of YouTube in the year 2005 there were few technologies which accompanied. These technologies were for the people who had computers. There was an easy interface that was used during those times. YouTube has been accused of violating integrity laws by allowing the reuse of video clips that have been used somewhere else. This people who were accusing YouTube even demanded to be given permission to check through the website but it was denied and the owners of the website said that they have a right to protect their customers or clients.
The best essay writers are ready to impress your teacher.
Make an order now!
Technically, YouTube can not work properly if that computer does not have Macromedia Flash player. The Macromedia Flash player technology boosts clarity in displaying of videos with the best compared with other video play back technologies like RealPlayer. Videos uploaded to YouTube are only allowed ten (10) minutes of play and the size of the file should below one GB. YouTube accepts many video format including MOV, MPEG, MP4, and a few more.
In the year 2008 YouTube launched their cable Television called Information TV 2 and immediately after close to six months Apple Inc. announced the launch of their YouTube and that YouTube is accessed through their TV (Apple TV). It is amazing because of the evolving technology which enables Television stations to interact with websites. Anything is possible, I say this because the latest surprise which many may not know is that YouTube produced a software tester called beta test of annotations. This software provides or show links within a video.
Individual perspective This is one of the best interactive web tools that are enabling millions of people to share videos clips and there is no limit on sending these clips and other pictures. When there is any new development no matter how good it is, there are a few setbacks like it has no limit to age and therefore anybody can use it. And the setback now is that if young children are introduced to this website, they will be idling watching and sending photos and will not concentrate in their school work if they are school going.
It is unfortunate for the aged because the technology that is emerging can not help then and they are not interested any more. In politics this website has played a major role especially this year that the Americans are voting. We have had and seen video clips captured live and send to the internet which has proved that in the near future the YouTube may be advanced and added a few features to work like a TV. Politicians will be using this technology to campaign far away form their homes and they may even campaign in several far away places.
The Video clips interact with sound in a very good and easy weight easy. This technology has been bigger as time goes by and more associated with youth more than any other group. This is why Obama's campaign has been overwhelmingly appealing to the youth because he used the right channel that is also closely associated with the young generation of the Americans. With this information, YouTube may promote tourists and allure them to visit the remote areas of which they have been sent or photos received on their behalf.
This implies that the internet and all the associated technologies will revolutionalize our working styles in offices and even in the field as Wallace (2004) denotes, "Internet with is innovations that are emerging from it have and will transform workplaces and people working lives within the shortest time possible". The media has capitalized on these opportunities offered by YouTube and many media firms have incorporated their online newspapers and the readers are able to say their comments.
Journalists who gather news from anywhere are able to send video clips from anywhere. Summary Time tell tales and every passing year interesting discovering are made especially in the information technology sector. It is impossible to tell what may be discovered tomorrow but the curiosity of man is driving us to higher and advanced technologies with a short span of time like not any other period in history. Many people have found ways of capitalizing these technologies more particularly the YouTube technology.
A few politicians have used it successfully; some teachers in developed countries are using it to teach more that one school at the same time and anybody else who accessible to the internet and digital camera or video phone can exchange photos form anywhere to somewhere. Politicians will start campaigning by reaching more informed audiences like college students. Who knows even farming will soon be invaded by technologies?

With planes, one of the things people seem to complain about (and rightly so, it seems) is not getting a kill when someone bails out from a dead plane. I come from a CFS background, where the last pilot to put lead in the plane gets a kill if a plane crashes into the ground trying to maneuver. In BF/FH this doesn't result in a kill for anyone. As for bailing out, I know I do it when I can. Why not it's in the game, right? Well, I guess I feel a little guilty about it. I do try to say good kill to someone if they shoot me down and I bail out. But, I've been thinking, maybe I should just go down with the plane and let someone get the kill. Of course, I guess it depends on how you perceive/play the game. Is it all about racking up kills, or is contributing to the team effort the goal? If racking up kills is the goal, then dieing with the plane is the way to go. Let the other pilot get his tally. However, if contributing to the team is the goal, then it doesn't really matter if you bail or not, the plane has been shot down and that is ultimately more important than the pilot. Thoughts? Flames? Suggestions? JTM

I hate it when people bail out, especially if they don't have a chute. I always go down with the plane when I get shot down by an enemy plane, but when I got shot by AAA I only bail if I have a chute. Though I hardly ever take a parachute kit.
In real life bailing out even with a parachute would get you killed at the altitudes you're flying at in BF. So it's just really unrealistic. Furthermore, parachutes should have somekind of a delay, and so should getting out of a plane.

Well, if you have a parachute, then by all means, get the hell out of a plane that's going down. Folks did that, too, in real life, believe it or not... If you don't have a chute and you're just doing it out of spite, then, frankly, you're being a dick. My $0.02, anyway.
Aslong as you keep up air superiority nothing else matters. If you are worried about kills, go play UT2k4 DM.
If I have a chute I'll gladly bail out of my plane. Sorta off topic here but if someone almost sinks my ship I'll stay in it so that credit is given to whoever worked so hard to sink me.

OxideAslong as you keep up air superiority nothing else matters. If you are worried about kills, go play UT2k4 DM.
That's what I keep telling myself, but it doesn't end the nightmares :(
In real life people bailed out, yes, but not in an instant. They'd have to move the canopy in most cases and climb out! Often while the plane was on fire and with smoke everywhere. That takes a while to do.
and great sig Schpetzka. :D
well, i think that if possible, make it so if your not a pilot, you cant get out of the plane unless the landing gear is down, that way, the engies can still land and repair, but have to go down with the plane if its shot down, but the pilots can still bail out, that way you actually get kills as a fighter pilot, AND you make more people want the pilot class.
Well if your a Pilot class you might aswell bail out, even if you have been shot down. I mean, thats what the Pilot class is meant for. But if you jump out without a parachute, simply because you don´t want your enemy to get the point then you´ll loose a point for dying. So, you basicly have the choice, +1 kill for you enemy or -1 point. If I don´t see any chances to survive, I gladly go down with my plane but some people are just so used to bailing that they don´t think about it. But I mean isn´t it the same with every vehicle ? I mean if the tank driver bails out just before his tanks goes putt, you don´t get the kill either. The only real difference with planes, is that its fairly difficult to shoot someone out of the sky...
My nationality? I'm a mut.

An overview of portable contents insurance
Most people possess items that they consider to be very valuable. Some of these items are kept inside the house for example furniture, electrical equipment, and curtains. On the other hand, whenever we go out, we carry some of our valuable items. Some of them include smartphones, cameras, and laptops. Contents insurance caters for all those valuable treasures we keep inside our house. However, what about the items we carry with us when we go out? That is where portable contents insurance comes in.
Similarities between contents insurance and portable contents insurance
Below are the similarities between these two contents insurances:
- The cover offered: Both the insurances cover your valuable treasures.
- Accidental damages: Both types of insurances offer protection to your belongings. This is in case the items get damaged as a result of an accident.
- Peace of mind: You get peace of mind after purchasing both types of insurance policies.
- Financial protection: In case an unforeseeable event occurs, you are assured of financial protection and savings too. These types of policies will help you get back on your feet as fast as possible.
Differences between contents insurance and portable contents insurance
Below are the differences between contents insurance and portable contents insurance:
- Items covered: While contents insurance covers the items inside the house, portable contents insurances cover the items you carry when you go outside.

- Items: The items are covered under contents insurance include furniture, electrical apparatus, and curtains. Under portable contents insurance, items covered include jewelry, smartphones, handbags and also sporting equipment.

Beyond the Puffins
Last weekend's road trip was mostly about the puffins, but we also had a blast exploring more parts of Maine. Because Cutler wasn't far enough away, we decided to continue East until we ran out of coastline. I think my car was sad to come this far, so close to Canada, but not actually cross the boarder. At least I gave it some time to gaze over across the water and wave to the Canadian Lighthouse.
Our gang stopped at a cute little place for lunch. There was positively no cell service in this area so here's the scene at lunch when we figured out that the restaurant had free wifi.
After getting our fill of emails, Facebook, and lunch our next destination was to Monica's chocolates. Karlo and I never heard of the place, but apparently it's pretty famous with chocolate to die for. They offered samples of their decadent truffles.
I managed to squeak in a taste before the french fries that I ate during lunch decided that they hated me. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise because I had no interest in all the rest of the temptations.
Now it was time to head back and make a bee line to our most favorite place on Earth – Acadia National Park. It was a long, but beautiful drive and I'm not sure who was having the most fun: Karlo relaxing in the passenger seat, me behind the wheel of my MINI, or my MINI itself! It was a great drive that we are longing to go back and do on the motorcycle.
We finally arrived in Bar Harbor with just enough light left in the sky to snap a few photos.
Then it was time for dinner and boy did we have a great time at the Side Street Cafe. That place is a for sure repeat visit and I already can't wait to go back. By the time we walked out it was dark and that meant it was time for funky phone photos.
And a little motorcycle "art."
As much as I dreaded getting up the next morning at 4 something AM I just couldn't miss sunrise at Cadillac Mountain. I knew I wouldn't enjoy shooting it, but you really can't visit Acadia as many times as we have and NOT partake in this amazing experience of seeing the sun come up before just about anyone else in the USA.
Thanks Tara for the great photo!

There's so much about Europe that makes it a perfect stop during your winter travels. The historic cities have a completely different feel in the colder months. All that snow leads to great skiing and other snow sports in the continent's mountainous regions.
Of course, you can't forget about the wonderful winter festivals. Beyond the can't-miss Christmas fests, there are also all kinds of other winter festivals and events you'll want to check out starting in November up until February. Here are nine of our favorites.
1. The Snow And Ice Sculpture Festival, Bruges
If you've been to Belgium, but never Bruges, now is the time to go. Belgium as a whole is perfect for some winter explorations. But when you stop into Bruges, particularly from November through January, you're treated to a magnificent display of professionally created ice and snow sculptures. They reflect a different theme each year at The Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival.
2. Up Helly Aa, Scotland
If your interests lie more in fire than ice, then join revelers for the largest fire festival in Europe. Scotland's Shetland Islands are growing in popularity for intrepid travelers, but there's no shortage of people in the islands' little town of Lerwick on the last Tuesday in January.
You'll find plenty of people milling about in Viking-style costumes, drinking their fill and, of course, lighting things on fire. In particular, a traditional Viking longship is the victim, burned at the conclusion of a nighttime torch procession.
3. The Amsterdam Light Festival, Amsterdam
The Amsterdam canals are beautiful in the winter, especially with a little bit of snow. But what about when you add some lovely light installations atop it all? The Amsterdam Light Festival lasts from November through January.
Much like Bruges's Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival, this festival always has a particular theme. Artists interpret the theme with their own styles, casting the city in light displays that flicker off the water beautifully.
4. Momentum Ski Festival, Verbier
If winter means one thing to you and that one thing is skiing, then you can't miss the Momentum Ski Festival that takes place each year in Verbier, Switzerland. The famous ski destination is amazing enough all by itself, but the festival takes things to an entirely new level.
Held in late January and early February, the festival combines top-tier skiing with fun events ranging from concerts to comedy shows. Even non-skiers will like this event, for the posh nightlife scene it creates and the après ski fun.
5. Winter Solstice At Stonehenge, United Kingdom
This event may be crowded, but how many chances do you get to say that you celebrated the winter solstice at Stonehenge? Gather around with the hundreds of people in attendance to witness the sun's rising over the winter landscape.
If you balk at the idea of cramming into one space with all those people for so many cold hours, then look for similar, quieter solstice celebrations at some of the other stone circles situated around the United Kingdom.
6. Hogmanay, Edinburgh
Hogmanay is frequently voted one of the most amazing New Year's Eve experiences you'll ever have. It's right up there with spending New Year's Eve in New York City's Times Square. Try to get to Edinburgh over the New Year's holidays once in your life and join the up to 400,000 attendees that flock to Edinburgh's Old Town.
Music, dancing, drinking and fireworks are some of the things you will find.
7. Festival Of Lights, Lyon
See France beyond Paris this winter with a visit to Lyon for the annual Festival of Lights. The December event is easily accessible from Paris via rail service. You won't regret visiting this part of the country near the holidays.
The festival's beautiful light displays lend everything a festive, Yuletide spirit that you're sure to take home with you.
8. Kaiserball, Vienna
Vienna is famous for its amazing balls. One of the best of them all is the Kaiserball that takes place on New Year's Eve. It's a ticketed event, so you'll want to make sure that you plan far in advance to make it.
But even if you don't, you can still find other balls occurring throughout the city on the same night. The best part? The Kaiserball takes place in an actual palace.
While in town, don't miss out on shopping at Vienna's lovely Christmas markets.
9. Rise, Les Deux Alpes
Another festival perfect for fans of all things snow sports, Rise is an independent festival that focuses on all your favorite snow sports. Given its location in the French ski resort town of Les Deux Alpes, it also places a high emphasis on art. Think of it as something a bit like Coachella, only in the snowy mountains rather than the desert.

Disturbing News, Refreshing News
I came back to the Internet on Tuesday from a four-day (!) hiatus, to find the following disturbing news, on the website of Laura Ingraham, the radio talk-show host:
PRAYER REQUEST FOR LAURA: You know I hate Drama Kings or Queens, but I am asking for your prayers today and for the forseeable future. On Friday afternoon, I learned that I have joined the ever-growing group of American women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. As so many breast cancer patients will tell you, it all came as a total shock. I am blessed to be surrounded by people who love me–my family, a wonderful fiance (if he thinks he's going to get out of marrying me because of this little blib, he's sadly mistaken!), my friends, and my church. I am absolutely blown away by how helpful and kind everyone has been–including total strangers who have experienced the same rollercoaster of emotions. The sisterhood of breast cancer survivors is inspiring. I am truly blessed. On Tuesday I will have an operation and within a few days will know more about the future. I am hopeful for a bright future and a "normal" life (well, scratch the "normal" part). Anyway, people have gone through much worse, and I know I'll obliterate this. I am thanking you in advance for your prayers. You are my family. And remember, I'll be back sooner than you think.
There was a corresponding — and rather upbeat — recording from Laura played on her show by the person sitting in for her, Congressman (!) J.D. Hayworth. In the recording (made by phone just before she went into the hospital for surgery) she said the cancer was not visible on a mammogram — it was picked up on physical examination during an exam by her gynecologist. She had not been to her gynecologist in three and a half years; this visit was prompted not by any symptoms, but rather by her impending marriage.
My first reaction was, of course, gosh-this-sounds-serious/I-hope-everything-turns-out-OK. My next reactions, in quick succession, were as follows:
- How serendipitous this was — had she not been getting married now, she might never have caught it in time. (And you all know how important early detection is in determining whether cancer treatments are successful.) Sounds lucky!
- If she had gotten engaged a year or two earlier, she might have caught the cancer a year or two earlier, and had an even better chance of successful treatment. Sounds unlucky!
- How strange it is to be talking about whether on is "lucky" to have found breast early or later. "Lucky" is being in the 99.8% of women who will not get breat cancer this year. Better yet, "lucky" is being in the 87.5% of women who will never get it at all. ("Still pretty lucky" is being in the 97% of women who will not die of it even if they do get it.) The problem with this is, the 9.5% of women who get breast cancer and get cured will probably feel a heck of a lot more "lucky" than the 87.5% who never got it in the first place. This is really strange, but seems to be a fact of human nature. We usually feel fortunate and thankful when we have a possibly-bad thing happen that turns out to be not-so-bad (cured cancer, car accident without injury, etc.), but we rarely feel fortunate when nothing notable happens at all (no cancer, no car accident, etc.). The more I think about this, the stranger it seems. But it's undeniably true.
- There is something extremely refreshing about hearing that someone out there still thinks it's important to go to a gynecologist before getting married — in this age where most people seem to have forgotten that there is any connection whatsoever between the body system gynecologists deal with, and marriage. Still, someone shouldn't have to get cancer for us to find this out.
Yesterday (Wednesday), Laura's website had this update:
THE POWER OF PRAYER AND LAURA UPDATE: Laura's breast cancer surgery yesterday "couldn't have gone better," in the words of her surgeon Dr. Katherine Alley. Initial sentinel node testing done during surgery showed no signs of cancer involvement in the lymph nodes, and we all hope that this good news is confirmed by more in-depth tissue testing done over the next 48 hours. "The outpouring of love and concern coast-to-coast in prayer, emails, telephone calls has left me feeling more blessed than I can possibly convey," said Laura Thursday morning from home. "I really don't know what I did to deserve such kindness but I will gladly wrap myself in it," she chuckled. "It's weird but getting cancer has made me feel more blessed than I ever felt before, and I will do everything I can to return the generosity 100-fold when I am feeling a bit better." According to Laura and her friends who were there throughout, the entire staff at the Surburban Hospital Outpatient Medical Center in Bethesda, MD was amazing. Absolutely top-notch! According to one of Laura's friends, as she was being taken into surgery, she joked about whether the hospital was running a "two-for-one" surgery special–"a lumpectomy and a lift together–20 percent off!"
And today:
LAURA UPDATE, DAY 3: Hey everyone! I am sitting here in bed with my wireless laptop wishing I was going to be on air today (Thursday) as I planned. Oh well, the post-op was a bit more taxing than I thought (I felt great when the anesthetic hadn't worn off!), so I'm not ready to rock and roll quite yet. I think I took a turn for the worse when in the middle of the night I turned on CNN to see Al Gore popping gasket about "extreme" judges at the moveon.hasbeens rally. Or was that Darrell Hammond from an old SNL? Anyway, it was a jolt to my system. Awaiting lab results now to see just how "angry" that breast tumor was, its "hormone receptivity," etc. This is jargon that I hope that none of you ever have to become familiar with, but sadly 1 in 9 women in this country do! I cannot wait until I can resume our daily conversation. You all are so important to me, and I hope you know how grateful I am. Until I am back behind the mic, stay with the show–we need your support–and please keep the prayers coming. To quote Pres. Bush, "I feel comforted in the storm when people pray for me. People ask me why, and I tell them because I can feel it."
Moral of the story: Don't watch CNN while in post-op recovery.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST - Probe with source-interfacedavid Dec 18, 2014 12:26 PM (in response to jayh)
Thanks for posting. I may need to see a sample configuration of exactly what you are doing, so that I understand completely. It is my understanding that in your scenario we just need to make sure we do not specify the source address, and we also need to make sure a local route map is in place such that the ping probe is only allowed out the interface to be tested. This route map would prevent the probe ever using or "passing" on the backup link. Please let me know if you are using the route map and still having issues, or I am just misunderstanding the issue entirely. You may also want to respond on this thread with the relevant configuration.

Wind Energy Unit
Our wind energy unit was wonderful. Thanks to a grant from the VWR Foundation, we were able to purchase 20 Vernier Wind Energy Kits. Students learned about and explored circuits, collected/analyzed voltage and power data, designed turbine blades, experimented variables such as blade pitch, blade quantity, fan speed, resistance, and turbine distance.
