2 ABSTRACT It is a pleasure to present this treatment model in the first issue of "International Addiction." It is designed to help clinicians better manage their patients and has been found useful in many national settings. In order to direct this at the clinician s needs, I have made this article brief and straightforward. The references at the end offer recourse to further printed material.
3 Managing an addicted patient in office practice can be difficult in terms of the denial of illness they present and their tendency to relapse and become non-compliant. In order to overcome this, the clinician needs to draw on resources available in the patient s immediate environment. One way to do this is to engage family and friends in parallel with individual counseling to bolster therapeutic engagement. A supportive group of people close to the patient can provide valuable help in rehabilitating an addicted person, employing an approach called Network Therapy, a pragmatic multimodal format for treatment (1). In using this approach, a small group of specific family members and friends are enlisted to provide ongoing support and to promote attitude change. Network members are part of the therapist's working "team," and not subjects of treatment themselves. The goal of this approach is the prompt achievement of abstinence with relapse prevention and the development of a drug-free adaptation. The need for this approach arises from the confounding problem that physicians have only a marginal ability to influence their patients' behavior outside the office. If an addicted patient has a slip into drug abuse, his therapist may not be apprised, and even if he has found out, he can bring little influence to bear. A physician on his own is limited in the degree to which he can make demands on the patient's life, and the patient is free to walk away from the therapeutic situation if it is uncomfortable for him, that is to say, if it challenges a potential relapse to addiction. All these factors make the engagement and orchestration of family and friends into the therapy with a substance-abusing patient an invaluable resource, one which offers remarkable opportunity for the modification of traditional office techniques for treating the substance abuser (2-4). CONFRONTING THE PROBLEM We can make the nature of this option more clear with the example of one particular patient. A consulting physician was contacted by Paul, a physician practicing at a local hospital, who was concerned that the woman he hoped to marry was alcoholic. As he explained, when they were getting to know each other, there were periods when Ann, seemingly functioning well, was unavailable in person or by phone. It was only after they moved in together that he realized the reason for these periods of absence, as he became aware that Ann would regularly go on drinking binges, and that she sometimes did not
4 show up the next day at the law office where she worked. She once threatened to kill herself when she was drunk. Paul turned to her parents, but they preferred to minimize the issue, apparently not wanting to tarnish their daughter's image. He pleaded with Ann to go to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA); she said she would think about it. Ann had been in treatment for a few years with a reputable general psychiatrist, who had unsuccessfully tried to convince her to stop drinking. At Paul's request, she came to the consultant for an alcoholism consultation, but said that she was quite comfortable in her current analytic treatment, and that it was offering her valuable insights. Furthermore, she did not think it useful for the consultant to speak directly with her doctor. When it was pointed out that her continued drinking argued for additional intervention, or at least some visits to AA, she fell back on the contention that her relationship in therapy should be enough to deal with her problems. A few months after this initial meeting, Ann became annoyed at her physician for "pestering her" about going to AA and dropped out of treatment. The drinking continued unabated, and later that year she lost her job at the law office because of her unreliability. Paul was ready to walk out as well but said he would give her one more chance if she saw the consultant, "the doctor who said she had to stop drinking." This time, she acknowledged in the consultation that it was reasonable for her to get some support to help her look at her situation, and the consultant asked her to bring Paul and a friend of hers to the next session to discuss the issue. This was the beginning of her Network Therapy. The two network members, Paul and her friend, were certainly more revealing about the extent of Ann's alcoholism than she had been. They described how it now often left her in awkward social situations, and incapacitated as well in facing the day that would follow her heavy drinking. The consulting psychiatrist now encouraged Paul and the friend to voice their feelings and concerns, to soften her inclination to avoid the problem. The impact of their orchestrated input moved Ann to acknowledge that she had a problem with alcohol. The network members helped to prevail on her to accept the idea of abstinence. Together, all four developed a regimen to support her recovery, one that included individual sessions as well as meetings with this network. AA meetings were added as well, and the
5 network members supported her in attending the meetings during later sessions, when she expressed misgivings about them. Importantly, Ann and the consulting physician continued to meet with her network while she focused on ways to protect her continued abstinence and on the psychological issues that would allow her to achieve a full recovery. She had a slip back into drinking while in treatment and was once prepared to give it all up. Her network was behind her continued abstinence, though. The patient and network members worked together to understand what certain drinking cues - situations and emotional states - led to the relapse, and then planned together how Ann could handle these cues when they came up again. The network also drew on one particularly meaningful relationship to bolster Ann's abstinence. In sessions, they often spoke with her sister on a speaker-phone. Although her sister lived in a remote city, Ann had a particularly trusting relationship with her, and the sister had been very distressed for years over her drinking problem. This relationship was one that added strength to the bonds of affiliation that supported Ann's recovery. BACKGROUND OF THE APPROACH How does Network Therapy fit into our evolving understanding of addiction? Addicted persons generate great conflict and resentment among their family and friends. On the one hand, persons close to the addict have long been frustrated by his lack of responsiveness and by a history of many disappointments that he has conferred on them. On the other, they are remorseful over his unhappiness and the losses that he has suffered. The tension between anger and guilt makes it all but impossible for those close to the addicted people to approach them in an objective way. They are likely to overreact at one time and castigate them, and at another time they may shrink from asserting their concerns and be overly permissive, even enabling their addictive behavior. In recent years, we have begun to consider the orchestration of family dynamics to move the addicted person toward bringing the family together to plan a confrontation designed to impress the addicted person with the immediate need for hospitalization. With aid from a professional, family members can thereby work together to have a meaningful impact,
6 spurring the patient on to action, although a more tempered approach is often indicated. Multiple family therapy groups for substance abusers have also come into use so as to create a setting where a diversity of issues are melded together to neutralize individual resentments. The sense of community engendered in such groups can be supportive, and at the same time aid in achieving compliance with an expected norm of abstinence. These trends have been invaluable in developing our thinking about bringing family and peers into addiction treatment and associating them with a program of relapse prevention. A variety of techniques have been employed in order to minimize the likelihood of substance use in the course of addiction treatment, so as to avoid a patient's relapse into heavy drug use. In general, this approach is based on the need to avoid the compelling effects of the conditioned abstinence syndrome in addiction. This syndrome serves to explain the vulnerability of addicted people to relapse to drug use whenever they are exposed to cues which have previously been associated with exposure to the drug. Cues to drug- or alcohol-seeking can be intrinsic, like specific moods; they can be extrinsic, like certain situations, or encounters with certain individuals. Any of these would have previously been associated with drug ingestion (2). In Network Therapy, the emergence of craving precipitated by such cues can be examined with the patient in both individual and in network sessions, in order to clarify the cues that produce a vulnerability to relapse for that person. Because patients may exercise denial in avoiding the awareness of some of these cues, the availability of people on the network who are well acquainted with their patterns of addictive behavior may present a unique opportunity to gain access to relevant information that would otherwise be unavailable. Once these cues have been defined, plans to avoid them can also be made at sessions held with network members. The patient can be given social support to avoid the cues and can receive practical assistance from network members in an attempt to avoid these cues if it is necessary. THE NETWORK'S ROLE At the outset of therapy, it is important to see the patient with the group on a weekly basis, for at least the first month. Unstable circumstances demand more frequent contacts with
7 the network. Sessions can be tapered off to bi-weekly and then monthly intervals after a time. Contacts between network members at the earliest stage typically include telephone calls at the therapist's or patient's initiative, dinner arrangements, and social encounters, and should be pre-planned to a fair extent during the network session. These encounters are most often undertaken at the time when alcohol or drug use is likely to occur. When planning together, however, it should be made clear to network members that relatively little unusual effort will be required for the long term, and that after the patient is stabilized, the network's participation will come to little more than attendance at infrequent meetings with the patient and therapist. This is reassuring to those network members who are unable to make a major time commitment to the patient, as well as to those patients who do not want to be placed in a dependent position. The network is established to implement a straightforward task, that of aiding the therapist to sustain the patient's abstinence. It must be directed with the same clarity of purpose that a task force is directed in any effective organization. Competing and alternative goals must be suppressed, or at lease prevented from interfering with the primary task. Unlike family members involved in traditional family therapy, network members are not led to expect symptom relief or self-realization for themselves. This prevents the development of competing goals for the network's meetings. It also assures the members protection from having their own motives scrutinized and thereby supports their continuing involvement without the threat of an assault on their psychological defenses. Since network members have volunteered to participate, their motives must not be impugned. Their constructive behavior should be commended. It is useful to acknowledge appreciation for the contribution they are making to the therapy. There is often a counterproductive tendency on their part to minimize the value of their contribution. The approach presented here can serve as a basis for the clinician expanding his or her repertory of treatment options and can provide a basis for reading further as well (5-8). Each clinician will ultimately adopt a style suitable to them, but the effectiveness of that style can be enhanced by support from a network of family and peers. This presents an option.

A trial date has still not been set for a man accused of killing a young Red Deer woman about three years ago.
Bashir Gashaan, 32, has been in jail since his arrest in Thunder Bay, Ont., on June 20, 2011.
He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, as well as committing an indignity to a body and unlawful confinement.
The charges are in relation to the death of Jenna Cartwright, who was 21 at the time of her death.
Cartwright was reported missing on April 21, 2011. Her body was found in a ditch about 14 km north of Olds on May 3, 2011.
Gashaan fired his previous defence counsel on March 4, 2014.
Gashaan has retained new counsel, Naheem Rauf of Edmonton. Patty McNaughton appeared as Rauf's agent during Gashaan's arraignment in Red Deer Court of Queen's Bench on Monday.
McNaughton asked that Gashaan's arraignment be postponed by one month so Rauf could properly review the case.
A new trial date will be negotiated at the next Red Deer Court of Queen's Bench arraignment day, on May 5, 2014.

« What do you smoke? | Main | Questions for the Author »
hell yes! do-do-do-do-do hell yes! do-do-do-do-do hell yes! sorry, i've been listening to too much Beck lately, but it makes for good party music right!? i'm here for the party! where is everyone?
Take this job and shove it.
Wait? What job?
Yeah. You heard me.
Shove this job that I don't even have.
What about the neighbors? oldfolksnextdoor.blogspot.com won't be having any of this. And what about kittieshidingunderthebed.typepad.com? Or livejournal.com/users/ohyou'rehavingapartywhydon'tIinvitemyselfover/index.php?
You don't wanna invite just anybody, do you? What ever happened to elitism?
We have gorgeous weather outside too and I am wearing the cleavage bra today. Having all kinds of fun watching the guys try not to focus their attention on my boob crack.
Girlbomb, now that spring is here you better write a fashion blog. Because last year a bunch of us bought and wore gypsy skirts and mirrored tanks and then you went OFF on them. I'll bring a pitcher of margaritas and some happy music cds I just burned. Let me get the kids to school first.
Whoo-hoo, party in the comments section!
I just finished proofreading the text portion of a 416-page book of recipes (nothin' left to do but the 16-page index, and I'm not doing that today) so I stopped by to par-tay. Bring on the margaritas!
I don't like margaritas much . . . I'll stick with a gin and tonic, if that's okay with everyone.
My boss is a fascist. I just wanted to say that.
Whoo hoo! Party! Who wants to fuck me in the mouth?!
OK, I think I misread the vibe...
My boss puts stuff off and puts stuff off and then I have to work like a crazy person to get it all done. She also commits me to too many projects, even when she says she's not going to do that anymore. And sometimes she gets all virtuous and stuff and works *all* *the* *time* and I have no time to relax. And I can't even complain about her because she's *always* with me.
Damn that Hannah B.!
I'll take some of that mouth yer offerin' there buddy. And who stole my drink! I had a drink right here, and now it's gone! Lucky, I know it was you.
"Boob crack!" Love it!
Just got back from reading at a high school in Williamsburg. It was great! Everybody there has total Spring Fever, and I have it too. I don't WANNA sit here and send email about my benefit! I wanna PLAY!
My boob crack is ENORMOUS.
No one wants your mouth Funk.
Not my mouth Glick, Bill was offering his. And I don't remember anybody talking to you punk. Frankly you're not only getting in the way of Bill and I's oral buisness negotiation but you're bringing the whole spring party down.
"Party down," you say?
* gets up on chair, frugs *
* passes out key lime martinis *
* pretends not to notice gay sex between husbian and friend *
Glick, how's the job hunt? Want to go work for Hannah B.? I hear Lori Mocha's hiring.
i would have commented earlier but i was transfixed by satia's boob crack.
mr. bill--hee! my friend is online dating and she just got an email that ended with "p.s. i also like to screw".
re: sequins and gypsy skirts, i think of that post all the time. all the time. "there's a reason we don't do sequins in the daytime!"
<--- showed up late, probably drunk.
Or it could be because I totally slept through my alarm and missed class! W00T!
I want sequins! Is it *that* kind of party?
"We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)"
This has been going through my head (just this part) all morning. Thanks for inspiring a party mood, Ms. GirlBomb, even though here in the Midwest it is cold, windy and gloomy.
And now I'd best stop hanging around the comments section and get ready for tomorrow's writing workshop at the women's prison.
Karamu, fiesta, forever...
[dancing out the door]
...all night long..."
I could bring gin and tonic jello shots. I have to find something to wear. I have to catch up with you. But I'm in California, three hours behind. Wait up!
Arrggghhh... gargle....
Sequins, feathers, poofy skirts, gin and tonic shots -- bring 'em on!
(Hannah B., what do you think of the Wally Lamb prison writing book?)
My head hurts today and I have no idea why. There's also a hole in my wall, and I have no idea why. My mouth fits over the hole, and I have no idea why. I don't like the taste of insulation and I have no idea why my head hurts.
p.s. I also like to screw
I am having a grrrr . . . lucky I am not ripping any male coworker's balls off kind of day.
One of the guys akss, "Is the boss giving you a hard time because your shirt's too low?" because he notices I am grrrr
And I say, "My shirts not too low. My tits are too high."
Fuck I am glad I get off at 3:30 today.
"I'm on the hunt, I'm after you."
If you is a non-sectarian multi-national occupation, boy howdy am I on that shit. Until I find you oh so elusive occupation I field offers from israeli moving companies and mall space managers in Seacaucus.
I hear that Mocha's a slave driver. Heather B sounds a teeny bit schizo.
Funk, Scurry; get a room, preferably one in an undisclosed location.
Hey Funk, I didn't steal your drink but I did piss in it.
I *did* steal Funk's drink. Thanks, Glick. Now I'm higher than an eagle, because you are the urine beneath my lungs.
Boob crack - I heard once that cleavage is so attractive because the laydeez are givin' us that shot of asscrack we so latently desire.
"Can I get a shot of asscrack? Maybe in a jello shot?"
This party's movin' to Bill's mouth. Anybody cummin'?
"Heather [Hannah]B sounds a teeny bit schizo."
She pays crappy, too.
(re: Wally Lamb book--First time I read it I was blown away. 2nd time, as part of a community writing course in which we went to a prison to write w/the women, I was disappointed that there wasn't more diversity in the types of writing in the book, as all but one piece were memoir. And the exception was a fictionalized memoir. But maybe the point of the book was for them to tell their life stories through narrative nf.)
Half of you are so 'phobic.
The other half are pervs for watching.
And people wonder why me and Bill got domestically partnered instead of married. Duh! So we could have gay sex at our parties!
We're going to an actual party-party tonight, for a friend who got a book deal. Yay, book deal parties!
Is anyone else cumming in Bill's mouth?
Ummm . . . I can't . . . that would be just wrong . . . I think Janice would agree. I can't cross that line and I am pretty damn freaky so normally there is no line.
well, usually there is a line...of ppl waiting to get some action with your pretty damn freaky self :P
Oooh . . . Funny you should say that because what is going on where I work only confirms it.
Now I am writing a short story about it. Who knew that writing an angry short story is as good as angry sex? I need a cold shower but not until I finish this story.
Has anyone called the cops on the fellatastic fete yet?
Kids go to bed in ten minutes. Anyone still awake?
I just finished writing my short story that is a big fat FUCK YOU to my fascist boss.
I even used his real first name because I don't give a fuck.
And I posted it in my blog and didn't make it friends only because I fucking don't care if he reads it.
And now I am so horny that when Rob gets home he damn well better fuck me.
Damn, angry writing is almost as good as foreplay.
wow, girlbomb -- you sure know how to get a party started! i leave my computer for one night, and look what i missed! virtual frolicking, and you can define frolicking anyway ya like...
P is for Party
A is for Alright
R is for Rowdy
T is for Tonight
Y is for You
and you know what to do so
Don't let your mama know
Or she won't let you go
(er, am I still invited now?)
Is the party still going on? I lost the invitation and can't remember if there was a time when it was scheduled to end . . .
Woo! If anyone wants to do Jager shooters, my navel is OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
Make mine amaretto and I am there! Jaeger? Blech! Besides, it is supposed to be ice cold and I would feel so sorry for you navel . . . and what about the belly button lint gnome? I mean the poor thing wouldn't know what hit him.
I have it on good authority that gnomes like amaretto. The voices in my head said so.
Heeeeeey!!!!! I loved Girlbomb!!!! But... I have a question.....
What happened to Mike?
Did he ever get out of the coma?

Has it really been a month since I last posted? Life has been crazy. The holidays have passed now and I'm ready to kick it into high gear. I've not nearly done enough (finished) work. But I've been working on a top secret project, beginning stages of new freelance projects, keeping up my sketch books, and these two pieces between everything going on.
Also, the Calendar project is now up and running. Download the January wallpaper for your computer desktop and iphone. You'll have to wait until April to download mine. Design Collector Calendar 2010
Here is an update on the small wood panel oil painting. I sat and stared at it for a few weeks before I dropped any pigment on top. I was ready to trash it for non artistic reasons but figured I'd just work through it and make changes to the content as I go. It's already shifted a lot from what I originally wanted for this. Bad photo...
This is a drawing from one of my sketchbooks I decided to paint (digitally). It's more of a study, and won't end up in my portfolio. Subconscious portrait.

text: Pruning is a horticultural and silvicultural practice involving the selective removal of parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots. Reasons to prune plants include deadwood removal, shaping (by controlling or directing growth), improving or maintaining health, reducing risk from falling branches, preparing nursery specimens for transplanting, and both harvesting and increasing the yield or quality of flowers and fruits. The practice entails targeted removal of diseased, damaged, dead, non-productive, structurally unsound, or otherwise unwanted tissue from crop and landscape plants. Specialized pruning practices may be applied to certain plants, such as roses, fruit trees, and grapevines.

While doing some novel research I stumbled upon a blog article: 8 Great Literary Lovers. And yes, they are all epic and well know. I love them and hate them in equal measure because they are more tragic than not. Who wants tragic love? Not me. Not today. I want picnics and wine, smoldering kisses and heart stopping gazes, sheet gripping O's and HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
So, I dare to put together a list of the greatest fiction lovers and let you decide their rank! Please, feel free to share any I left out. I'm sure there are plenty.
*Disclaimer! I am no expert and don't claim to be. I'm a newbie reader, hardly wet behind the ears.
All the best,

Location: Great Harbour Peter, Peter Island, BVI
We awoke this morning bright eyes and bushy tailed with a fire drill at 7:30. We all scrambled to our feet and grabbed our lifejackets and reported on deck. We ate breakfast as I rallied the troops for the days activities, which included 2 dives. We began with the Rhone, which is one of the BVI's most famous wrecks, and were greeted by a friendly turtle and the massive wreck of the old mail ship. The hulls were alive with all the corals and the swim through had an eerie glow to it. After our dive we moved Ocean Star to Peter Island where we prepped for our Culmination Dive on the wreck of the Fearless. After possibly our best meal of the trip we got cleared up, put our dive equipment into the dinghies, and headed out for the dive. The sun set as we geared up and with a unusually dark night we descended. With our bright lights we illuminated the wreck and all the little creatures that lived on it as well as the local Barracuda that was anything but small. After the 2 awesome dives we called the end to our diving for the trip.

ACT Tunes Up for Bond Invitational

Lempster, NH's Guy Caron set the fast time of the day with a lap of 31.926 seconds. Three-time Invitational winner Eddie MacDonald of Rowley, MA was second-fastest at 31.974 seconds and ranked at the top of the charts in nearly every session.
Three-time Série ACT winner Alex Labbé was third-quick, while fellow automatic qualifier Brad Babb surged in the final session to place fourth on the overall charts. Aaron Fellows, Dany Trépanier, and Woody Pitkat were also consistently fast.
A number of drivers made their first appearance at the "Magic Mile". Canaan, NH's Walt Hammond Jr. was the fastest of the newcomers, placing in the top-10 on the speed charts in four of the five sessions. Ryan Olsen and Alby Ovitt were also impressive in their NHMS debuts. Mike Ziter started slow, but shaved a full second off his fast time over the day.
One incident slowed practice when Seekonk Speedway driver Mark Jenison spun in turn four late in the morning and suffered front-end damage. Jenison was able to repair his car in time for the first afternoon practice session.
Two 10-lap simulated races were also held. Fellows and Caron won the sim races.

Reason I Selected This Book I chose the book October Sky because of all the great things I heard about it. There have been a lot of rumors going around that this book is fast reading because once you get started you just simply cant put it down.
Most Interesting Aspect The most interesting aspect would have to be that young boys this intelligent can create a rocket without any help from others all from scratch.
Expectations About The Book When reading the book most of my expectations were met, however some were not. Before I even touched the book I thought they would call Homer Hickam, Homer, but instead they called him Sonny. Another expectation of mine that was not met was when the rockets boys named their rockets, I thought Sonny would name one after his dad but instead he named one after his teacher, Mrs. Riley.
Brief Summary Throughout the book the boys were inspired by a lot of people but the one person that inspired them the most was their teacher, Mrs. Riley, whom they named the last rocket they ever launched after. At first when the boys started to build and launch rockets they ran into a couple of problems. They got arrested for false assumption, were not able to get some parts because of lack of funds, and were not able to get their rockets to launch high due to mechanical problems. After working hard for awhile, the boys decided to enter the science fair which they won without much competition and to their surprise, they got to go to Indiana to represent Coalwood in another science fair. Due to high expenses, they could only afford to send one of the boys which was Sonny. The Rocket Boys won first place in the science fair and were all offered scholarships for college. After graduating from college, Homer Hickam became a NASA engineer training astronauts for Space Shuttle Missions.

There's a new mod for Dark Souls which makes all of its bosses playable, allowing players to take their pick and rain hell on the same beings that gave them so much trouble.
The creator of this mod goes by the name of DaTeHaCKs. Currently he hasn't released it for the public, but instead is putting out videos where he is playing as different bosses against others.
You can catch a video above, and note that not only are you able to control the bosses, you're also able to utilize the same set of moves that have been coded for them by the original developer.
Suffice to say the feeling can not be anything other than glorious. The monsters in Dark Souls are renowned for punishing players for even the slightest of lapse in concentration. The fights are brutal and extremely challenging. Hence, it can be understood why players feel such satisfaction upon a successful bout.
This new mod, though, brings about a new feeling of satisfaction. Not only does it have you take complete control of your choice of monster, it also adjusts the camera accordingly.
At the moment, there seem to be slight imperfections with the quality of the mod. The collision detection has issues, and players will have to be in extremely close range to land their attacks. Movement can be bugged sometimes and the fights can also turn glitchy at others.
Nonetheless, it looks extremely fun.

Little Miss Green makes fresh juice!
4 Comments »
My 5yr old son, Rye helps to make juices. Although I do put the fruit in the tube myself and then let him help push the plunger down.
He loves all different kinds of juice and will drink juices made with; broccoli, avocado, celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, lettuce, cabbage etc. The key is to use a sweet fruit base like apple or pineapple and maybe a little lemon or lime, which seems to help all the flavours meld harmoniously.
A Culinary Star is born! 🙂 Thank you, Miss Green … that was an informative (and delicious looking) video. I noticed that you put everything in … the grape stems, apple including the core & seeds, etc. Does the juicer filter out the pulp or does it become part of the drink. Your choice of fruits made my mouth water! Thanks, again, Miss Green!
That's great! I got into juicing last year and LOVE it! My kids love fresh orange juice, but I like to make mock V-8.
You always have great tips, thanks. 😉

For my foreign readers, this is what a jeepney looks like.
Photo taken from: http://www.bohol.ph
Jeepney drivers are probably the best guides one can find in any Philippine city. This should come as no surprise considering that it's their job to drive people around. Plus they also frequently change routes.
With this in mind, I hailed a jeepney with a vacant front seat. Then I asked the driver, "Is the NBI* still around Palao?"
"Yes," he answered. "Just walk a few blocks from the market."
"Thanks," I said thinking that the conversation was over.
"I once tried to get an NBI clearance," he continued, "but it turns out I had two driving violations. I almost had a job working abroad, you know." Filipinos usually can't travel abroad if they still have uncleared records. This, by the way, can be circumvented by well placed friends, if you know what I mean.
"That's sad," I said. "You'd have to have your records cleared by the court."
"Yeah, but it's expensive," he continued, "that's why I'm still here, driving, and trying to save for them. By the way, do you happen to know how to have them removed?"
By this, he meant illegally of course. I said, "Nahhh. NBI records are in a national database. They're not like police clearances.**"
Soon we were chatting like old friends. The topic was about going abroad, and it delved into a lot of subtopics under it. He even told me about his retirement plans once he returned after hoarding a decent amount of cash from abroad. Academically, I already knew that the average Filipino wants out of the country as soon as possible. I didn't know just how desperately so until that conversation. The guy wanted money, and the only way he thought possible to get it was to get out of the country.
Before long, I had to drop off to get to the NBI station. The driver gave me a few last instructions before driving away leaving me to my thoughts. I reasoned that If the average citizen of my country wants to go abroad then there really is something wrong with the way this country is run. Has my country gone down so low that its citizens already consider it as a cage preventing them from living the good life outside it?
My fears were not allayed when I stepped inside the NBI station. Perhaps more than half of those who queued up for clearance received green colored cards, and not yellow colored cards. Green, by the way, is for clearance to travel abroad. Yellow is clearance to work locally.
My people are leaving this land. I'm not justifying them nor am I condoning them. I'm just stating a fact. 8 million of my country's 80 million citizens are already outside it. More are following. Still more wish to join them, but are prevented because of various reasons. If jeepney drivers are already advising travel abroad, then it must be good advice. After all, they're supposed to be the best guides around here. Nevertheless, that would be one advice I'll not be following.

Produktinformationen zu "Mortal Rituals "
Klappentext zu "Mortal Rituals "On December 21, 1972, sixteen young survivors of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 were rescued after spending ten weeks stranded at the crash site of their plane, high in the remote Andes Mountains. The incident made international headlines and spawned several bestselling books, fueled partially by the fact that the young men had resorted to cannibalism to survive. Matt Rossano examines this story from an evolutionary perspective, weaving together findings and ideas from anthropology, psychology, religion, and cognitive science. He ties their story to our story, seeing in the mortal rituals of this ten-week struggle a reflection of the very essence of what it means to be human. During their ordeal, the Andes' survivors (re)created a primitive yet complex social system embodying the efficiency and flexibility necessary to meet the challenges of a harsh environment. They broke "civilized" taboos to fend off starvation and abandoned "civilized" modes of thinking to maintain social unity and personal sanity. These young men established daily routines and rituals that perpetuated their survival while sustaining their morale. Finally, through the power of ritual, they accessed the mind's ability to endure severe emotional and physical hardship. All of these essential strategies have deep evolutionary histories. They are what our ancestors did for millennia upon millennia in their struggle to survive.

Rezension zu "Mortal Rituals "Matt J. Rossano's attempt to parallel Parrado and Canessa's incredible venture with the evolution of the human capacity to survive works very well. As he so aptly puts it, his narrative describes a 'microcosm of human evolution,' and I think this book will grab the interest of many readers -- students as well as the general public -- as it teaches essential facts about the way in which Homo sapiens evolved. -- David Hicks, Stony Brook University and Clare College, Cambridge University

Is there any journal paper available which can give the reference of operating temperature ?
hello evryone i have A question i have 345 cl with lys serial numper
i have water temperature high
i have check from water pump and water supply and replace of water regulator and radiator
all injector its okay and line of oil cooler its clean
there is no load at hydrolec
i have check valve lash and all sensor
any solution for this proplem
To ad to Mikel's comments the newer Engines have oil control rings on top and these do not like temperatures below 180 F and can cause linner polishing also...
Older CAT engines were right in line with the competetion, old school thinking was cooler was better, long before fuel consumption and emissions a concern. Typically lube oil temp runs about 15 degrees hotter than the jacket water temp, means most engines were running with a lube oil temp below 200 degrees F. At that temp the lube oil has a hard time cooking off moisture and some water soluble contaminents. Also, to "overcool" a given size engine requires extra cooling system capacity, meaning a larger cooler (more weight) and a larger cooling pump or pumps (more parasitic horsepower). Allowing the engine to operate at a higher "normal" operating temp allows a larger approach temperature and you can get more cooling efficiency.
Most current engines have a shutdown at 225 degrees F and alarm at 215 degrees F, and not just CAT, I recently was on a diesel electric system with 4 1.8 MW marine Cummins units, and we verified jacket water system protections at those same temperatures. A vessel with MTU units I visited several months ago appeared to run cooler, until we noticed the gauge was reading the inlet, not outlet temperature.
I think you'll find virtually all newer engines trying to meet current tier emissions levels will be running at higher jacket water temps. Frankly in all the engines I get around I don't see any negative impacts from operating at teh higher temps, and I think oil life is somewhat improved, although hard to fully quantify since there have been so many significant changes in lube oils and their additive packages in recent years.
So my two cents, I would consider a current production engine operating normally up to about 210 degrees F, as long as the lube oil temp to the engine (after the cooler) was within about 15 degrees of that. I would not operate any modern diesel engine below 180 degrees F for extended periods of time, otherwise I think you'll see reduced lube oil life, sludge and varnish buildup, and a reduction in fuel efficiency.
Mike L.
Hi guys....As you may all know, high temp is by far the number one enemy of diesel engines. I have lots of friends with boats with different engine brands, MAN, Cummings, MTU, Volvo and other and they all run at a much lower temp (160-170F). My ONAN Generator at full load runs at 165F. I know that Caterpillar run hotter than other engines, but which should be the normal operating temp range? There are lots of different opinions on this issue. I think here our friend from Caterpillar have the chance to help us on this matter and tell us ....WHAT IS HOT.

Your will is a meaningful way to make a charitable gift of lasting value to our parishes. Through a bequest provision, you can designate a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after other bequests are satisfied. Adding a codicil to an existing will is a simple process that begins by making your intentions known to your attorney.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is a life income agreement between a donor and St. John or St. Patrick. In exchange for your gift, you receive fixed payments for your lifetime, and or the lifetime of another person. You are entitled to a partial tax deduction in the year of the gift, and a portion of each payment is tax free, for a period of years as well. The size of the payments is based on the amount of the gift and the annuitant's age.
Gift annuity plans start at $1,000 with income payments beginning at age 55 or older.
For More Information
If any of these ideas interest you, please feel free to contact us for further information: St. John/St. Patrick
114 Sodus Street, Clyde, New York 14433 or call 1-315-923-3941.
For specific advice about taxes, wills, or legal arrangements, it is important that you consult with professional advisor. Thank you for your consideration
of support to our parishes.
Ways Of Giving To
St. John Church
St. Patrick Church
Cash Gifts
Outright cash gifts are the most common form of giving and are as easy as writing a check to St. John or St. Patrick. Your gift is tax deductible and becomes immediately available to support the important work of our parishes.
Following are some other ways of giving, which you may wish to consider.
Matching Gifts
More than 1,000 companies match the employees gift to charitable organizations. In this way, it's possible to double or sometimes triple the value of your gift.
Please check with your personnel office, to see if your employer participates. To initiate a matching gift complete your employer's matching gift form and send it along to us when making your contribution.
Memorial and Tribute Giving
Gifts in memory of deceased friends and loved ones, or gifts which honor living individuals, are often used to reflect the interests or talents of the person honored. Any gift to our parishes, may be designated in memory of, or in honor of a loved one.
Gifts Of Personal Property
You can make a gift of personal property, such as art, equipment, car or collections. A tax deduction is allowed for the full market value if the object is long-term gain property and its use is related to our tax-exempt mission.
Gift Of Life Insurance
Life insurance may be an especially attractive gift vehicle if you own a policy that is no longer needed for its original purpose. In addition, those who qualify for low-cost premiums may find it more affordable and convenient to plan a significant gift to the parishes using life insurance. By naming St. John or St. Patrick, as the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy you can take an immediate tax deduction for the accumulated cash value of the policy, (if any) and a future deduction for any subsequent premiums which you pay.
Gifts Of Appreciated Securities
If you own long-term securities that have appreciated in value, you may prefer to contribute securities, rather than cash. In this way, you can avoid paying capital gains tax that would be due if you sold the securities. You can also take a tax deduction for the current fair market value of the securities given.
Gifts Of Real Estate
Virtually any real property, a home, office building, or land, can become a gift to St. John or St. Patrick. You can take a tax deduction of the full fair market value of the real estate donated and also avoid any penalty capital gains tax. It's also possible to retain life interest and receive a partial tax deduction while you continue to use this property.

Your blocks look great! I've been printing out these patterns to use in the future and just love the diamonds in the corners.ReplyDelete
Really gorgeous blocks, Lori!! The colors you have chosen are so pretty...another winner!!ReplyDelete
Lori, your blocks are wonderful. I have a question about the diamonds. Have you trimmed your blocks and have you placed the diamond points on the 1/4" intersection line. I'm afraid to sew them on the blocks until after they are sewn together for fear I don't place them correctly and they either get caught in the seam allowance or they are too far away and don't meet in the middle once the blocks are stitch together. Any advice?ReplyDelete
I love your blocks Lori ! They are beautiful!ReplyDelete
Love this. Is this another free one shes doing? Guess I missed it. BuggersReplyDelete
Beautiful blocks! You (and Gay) are making it hard to resist this one. Maybe if I only made half of them???ReplyDelete

Wonderful blocks & fabrics - this is a great project!ReplyDelete
Ok, I confess it actually took me a couple tries before I found the one without the solid. I think you're good. No worries! Oh, and they happen to be really pretty!ReplyDelete
Lori, the blocks are great!! I printed out the patterns and still think I want to do it. I love how yours is turning out...especially with the pieces machine appliquéd down!!!ReplyDelete
They look lovely! And you do have a solid in every block if you include the background don't you?ReplyDelete
These blocks are stitching up nicely!ReplyDelete
I love the folk arty shapes in this quilt! really like the circle block. funReplyDelete
Your blocks look great!!ReplyDelete
Nicely done, Lori. I have not had time to prep the designs yet but hope to later this week. I so enjoyed making the first set of blocks.ReplyDelete
What a difference those little diamonds make. I too am printing off the patterns ..just in case....Good job Lori.ReplyDelete
Very cute project.ReplyDelete
