What goof balls! Nice lookin pics! So do you get any rub when your stuffin your 35's? Im steppin up real soon from 33's and Im a little concerned on the rub issue. I have 4" of lift but Im gonna do a 1.25" JKS bl and raised motor mount. I see you got 4.5" so thats why I ask, your close to what I'll be at. Also are you still runnin the D35 rear? IF so do you break a lot of shafts. Because I have a locked 35 with the super 35 kit and Im a little nervous about it. At least until I swap a D60 or 8.8 in.
I wheel just about every other weekend. Its usually a bit of climbing and plenty of mud. Sometimes trails on a rare occasion. I figured you had a 44 on there. Doesnt matter much, Im gonna post pone my 35's until next summer when I do a 8.8 or D60 swap now. The 33's are gonna have to do for a while. Another thing too is that I've got Bushwacker flares on there too. Im probabaly gonna undertake building myself long arms for next summer too and go up to 6" springs and the bl. First I got some other stuff on the list to get to.
well mine would be fine when i take off my fenders, which i will be doin for the ride this weekend, i cant wait for my long arm to come in

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?

text: I was looking to upgrade the brakes on my 2011 wrx to Subaru 4 pot front and 2 pot rear calipers. Iv been looking around to find some info but i couldn't find any. I have heard that the Subaru 4 pot are just as good if not better than the brembos. What year calipers would work for the front and rear? what caliper brackets work? what rotors work? do i need to change brakes lines? I saw that 16 inch wheels are an issue but the only time i run 16s are steelies for snow tires. Any info is appreciated.

Before I go on:
DISCLAIMER: I have studied law a bit, my undergrad degree is in Environmental Studies, with an emphasis on pulic land management, and I have some experience with administrative rule making in the public land context. However, I am not a lawyer or an expert, and my posts are just my opinion based on things I have read and may have misunderstood.
AFAIK, an appeal on the injunction will not allow additional information to be presented. The appeal will be reviewed based on the facts as presented to the judge that granted the injunction. Unless clearly erroneous based on those facts, it will stand. On the upside, we have not read the pleadings, part of which may have been presented for our side and not given proper signifigance by the judge. (ie. Brady may have lacked a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits and this judge erroneously found otherwise) Still an uphill battle given the standard of review and the sliding scale of importance, weighing likelihood of sucess against pulic policy, irreparable harm etc.
At a full trial on the merits, all evidence presented to back up claims in the pleadings of both sides will be considered if it is admissable, and there (maybe) the lawyers on our side can get in sufficient evidence to bolster the position that there was no need for an EIS and win. At least I hope so. Otherwise, it's gonna have to be a do over. However, as you and the judge pointed out, Amicus breifs and petitions have thus far worked to go against the argument that no EIS was needed. Our sides arguments have been contradictory and actually bolster Brady's position, which is unfortunate. Obviously the lawyers for out side did not properly communicate with one another or something.

What do you guys think of Terry and Joyce Jones 1949 Chevy Fleetline from our May 2008 issue?Click Here to Check it Out!
Beautiful build, one my first cars in the 60's was a '49 Fleetline with a 216 and a split exhaust manifold and dual carbs on a Fenton intake. Brings back a lot of memories, life was good, still is!
Honestly some of the greatest looking cars built are the late 40's Fastbacks. They have such great looking lines.
I am thinking about doing the dual carb/dual exhaust modification on my 50 fleetline. Any reccomendations or pointers?
Fleetline roof lines have ruled for a long time.Priceless...Mikewww.Customikes.com
It's only metal, It does not know if it is on a 50 Merc, or on a Lambo. Make it do what you want.
Yeah, and the BOP versions are very cool as well.

To make a few bucks and "build character" as a high school girl, I worked at Kevin Costner's restaurant in Deadwood, South Dakota.
This was four-diamond rated, whatever that means, but the elegant atmosphere and expensive menu provided me with the context to understand it meant well. The cast included a weekend piano player – an older women with dark hair and lips.
When I would pass her sparkling wardrobe, she would look up and faintly smile, enjoying the flow of her fingers and fluidity of her own thoughts.
And during a long shift on a Saturday night, I would wearily smile as if to ask, Will you play it? and she'd gracefully flip her music sheets to a tune that gave me hope.
Since then until now – a 28 year-old woman and wife and friend and country dweller – my mind whispers "let it be" on the days when plans are reshaped and answers remain lost.
And my mother Mary is mother nature who whispers through the wind and wraps tightly around me, there will be an answer.
The words resurface in the middle of unknowns and unseens and the map so tightly gripped flew out the window when needed most during that hurricane…
Let it be.
Or that person who knows just the words to say to scratch at old scars til blood emerges and they smile at their victory…
Let it go.
And the words slowly flow to mind when the dream in front of your face beckons but your hands, they cannot reach it yet…
Let it rest.
Let it be.
Over and over and over again.
Words of wisdom, indeed.

Good lord, with that woman as a witness the robber doesn't stand a chance. She's got every detail burned into her memory.

LOL. Who thinks of this stuff? I've never watched a news report and thought to myself..."I'm gonna spend a couple of hours making this into a song".
Typical 'witness' stuff too...All kinds of convincing in manner and verbal tone, but if you just listen to her she states a number of times she didn't see jack as she was too busy counting to four thousand (!) with her head and face down actively trying to _not_ look at the robbers, as she backed it on up as her daddy taught her while feeling faint.
She was though hilarious...But seriously imgine this is the person who says that you (or I) were the person that did her or some other persons wrong.
You're ID'd from a line up and there she is on the stand telling this story with ferocity.
Meanwhile as actual fact you had been out on a walk taking in some fresh air or she had seen you at the store she was in just prior to this one but got her memory facts mixed up.
Poof, you go to jail/prison or could even wind up on death row which has happened many more times than once. : |

Sri Lankas Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) has suspended proposals to implement mobile number portability (MNP) as it will not be cost-effective until there is a greater proportion of post-paid subscribers in the market, according to the regulators director-general Anusha Palpita, quoted by Sri Lankan newspaper The Nation. Palpita explained the strategy by saying: The main beneficiary of [MNP] and those demanding it [would be] post-paid mobile subscribers. However, in Sri Lankas case, we have less than 10% of the total mobile subscriber population owning a post-paid mobile connection. Therefore, in my opinion implementation of MNP will not be cost-effective at the moment. The director argued that it would be unfair on the roughly 20 million pre-paid users amongst the approximately 21.5 million total customers to bear the cost of MNP implementation, adding: The full implementation could cost the telecom operators to the tune of USD2 million to USD3 million which may then have to be passed to the consumer. But considering the inequality in the proportion as mentioned, it is not the right thing to do. He further noted that some of the countrys mobile operators had less than 5% of their subscribers on post-paid plans.

Shanghai Dreams
In 2004, 21 clam diggers, who were also illegal Chinese immigrants, drowned at high tide off the coast of England. Known as the Morecambe Bay Tragedy, the deaths symbolized the grim exile experience in Britain because language barriers or xenophobia might have contributed to the mass drowning. When artist Isaac Julien learned of the deaths, he commissioned Chinese poet Wang Ping to write Small Boats. So moved by her poem, he spent the next four years creating Ten Thousand Waves, a film installation exploring global human migration. Filmed in the beautifully remote Guangxi Province as well as in Shanghai locales, the project follows the ethereal goddess Mazu as she leads fishermen to safety. The film, via a nine-screen installation, relies on Chinese ghost stories and superstitions to explore death, displacement, and modernity. Ten Thousand Waves features famed Chinese starlets Maggie Cheung and Zhao Tao as well as calligrapher Gong Fagen, and is scored by Jah Wobble and the Chinese Dub Orchestra. The Bass Museum, in partnership with Puma.Creative, announces Isaac Julien/Creative Caribbean Network, a solo exhibition presenting the most comprehensive selection of the artists films and photographs in nearly ten years, including the US Premiere of Ten Thousand Waves. Opening Thursday and running through March 6, the exhibit also includes Juliens earlier series Paradise Omeros, Baltimore, and Vagabondia.
Wednesdays-Sundays, noon. Starts: Dec. 2. Continues through March 6, 2010

Neil D. Drysdale
Neil D. Drysdale (born 11 December 1947, Haslemere, Surrey, England) is an American based thoroughbred race horse trainer.
Based in Playa Del Rey, California, he has won two Triple Crown races - the Belmont Stakes (G1) with A.P. Indy in 1992 and the Kentucky Derby (G1) with Fusaichi Pegasus in 2000. He was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2000.
Born in Haslemere, Surrey, his father was a Royal Marine who served with the U.S. Marines in Korea. Drysdale studied at the University of Barcelona, and then taught English as a foreign language - but then switched his mind to horses.
He moved to Florida to work with show horses, and then became involved with racing thoroughbreds, spending two years with John Hartigan at Tartan Farms in Ocala, Florida. He then moved to a thoroughbred stable in Argentina, then managed a stud farm in Venezuela. Drysdale returned to the United States and worked as an assistant to Roger Laurin for two years, and then between 1970-74 he was assistant to Charlie Whittingham in California. He says the most important things he learned from Whittingham were patience and planning. He began working for Corbin Robertson's Saron Stable in 1974 , notably winning eight races with Bold 'n Determined in 1980 (a bicoastal Grade 1 winner between 1979-81 and winner of 16 of 20 starts), including a triumph over eventual division champion Genuine Risk [1]
In 1983, Drysdale opened his racing office in Playa Del Rey, California. His first major winner was Forceten, and he has since saddled a total of 31 Breeders' Cup runners and has six winners to his credit, including 1992 winner A.P. Indy - a total exceeded only by D. Wayne Lukas and Claude 'Shug' McGaughey. A.P. Indy plus Princess Rooney, Tasso and Hollywood Wildcat all went from winning the Breeders' Cup to win the Eclipse Awards, with A.P. Indy voted the 1992 Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year.[2]
Noted for his patience and instinctive ability to place horses where they belong, Drysdale also conditioned Hawksley Hill, Labeeb, French Deputy, and Roanoke. Beyond his Grade 1 wins in the Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes, and Breeders'Cup, Drysdale has also won the Acorn Stakes, Apple Blossom, CCA Oaks, Hollywood Derby, Santa Anita Derby, and Molson Million[3]
Drysdale's owners now include Sheikh Maktoum [4] and Peter Vegso [5] As horse racing has gone international, so has Drysdale, racing horses in Dubai, Hong Kong [6] and South Africa [7]
Inducted into Racing Hall of Fame in 2000, the year he won the Kentucky Derby with Fusaichi Pegasus, his first starter in the race.
2000 Kentucky Derby
Purchased for $4 million as a yearling by venture capitalist Fusao Sekiguchi, Fusaichi Pegasus is a colt who is known to be temperamental. Known to stop and just look around, the colt caused a delay at the starting gate at the Wood Memorial by rearing to threw his exercise rider [8]
But on 6 May 2000, in 82-degree heat and before 153,204 cheering fans (the second largest Derby crowd in history), Fusaichi Pegasus became the first Kentucky Derby winner since Spectacular Bid in 1979 to win the Derby as the betting favourite, and the first winner to have raced only once as a 2-year-old. The others were Leonatus (1883), Tim Tam (1958) and Lucky Debonair (1965). Jockey Kent Desormeaux said he broke like a pony, after being trapped behind the group - but when an opening occurred, he came through strong on the rail in the stretch, taking the lead approaching the eighth pole and finishing 1½ lengths ahead of Aptitude. Fusaichi Pegasus earned an extra $250,000 paid to any colt who wins the Wood Memorial Stakes at Aqueduct and the Derby [9]
After the Kentucky Derby, many believed that Fusaichi Pegasus would win the Triple Crown. However, he was defeated by Red Bullet in the Preakness Stakes [10] and did not race in the third leg, the Belmont Stakes. He is currently standing stud at Ashford Stud in Versailles, Kentucky

Brazil president's survival odds improve, but ally demands growth
By Anthony Boadle
BRASILIA Dec 20 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's key ally in Congress is certain it can head off an impeachment threat, but in return the party demands a radical change of policy course to pull the economy out of its deepest downturn in 25 years.
Senator Eunicio Oliveira, Senate leader of the fractious Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), told Reuters on Sunday that Rousseff took a first step in that direction by replacing an austerity-minded Joaquim Levy with leftist economist Nelson Barbosa, who is expected to ease up the belt-tightening to spur growth.
Levy threw in the towel after Brazil lost its hard-won investment grade last week.
Oliveira said Rousseff's position had improved with Supreme Court rulings on Wednesday that gave the upper chamber authority to reject impeachment even if the lower house votes to impeach her.
"A majority of PMDB senators are in favor of the president finishing her term," Oliveira said. "What they want is for her to change her economic policies to get the country growing again."
Oliveira said the opposition's case against Rousseff has no legal basis and is unlikely to fly in the Senate where her governing coalition has a solid majority and will stand by her.
His comments are a clear sign that Rousseff's allies from the moderate PMDB have lost patience with the austerity policies Levy advocated. Together with her own left-leaning Workers' Party, never a fan of Levy's agenda, that points to stronger support for a bid to restore growth sooner through government spending even at the risk of accelerating inflation.
In its economic agenda, the PMDB has rejected what it called fiscal austerity for the sake of austerity and advocated liberalizing labor laws and reforming of the pension system. Continuación...

Every Wednesday lunchtime when parliament is sitting, Nick Clegg gets to his feet in the Commons and asks questions of the prime minister in his role as 20th leader of the Liberals. A quarter of a mile away and a quarter of a century earlier, the teenage Clegg spent the same mid-point of the week at Westminster school's lunches in honour of one of liberalism's founders, John Locke.
"I still feel the utter liberation of it," Clegg told the Guardian this week, trying to pinpoint the moment that shaped his political beliefs. "Going to school in the middle of London, it was precocious and astonishing."
Today a photograph emerged of a young Clegg at Westminster school with his hand in his pocket, just as he stood in the TV debate last week when millions of voters started to listen to him for the first time. He was eyeballing the camera again, just as he did last Thursday. Precocious and astonishing.
This time last week his campaign was … well, adequate. The manifesto had been launched without its numbers being crunched and crumpled by the media. The modest number of journalists travelling on Clegg's battlebus were able to have their own seat and put their bags on a spare one. Now it is full to capacity. Cars hoot when they pass the unmissable yellow vehicle. Clegg's one bodyguard is now three and fellow passengers on public transport ask for their picture to be taken with him.
Now, at last, he is dishing it out to the two main parties. "He's been bullied at prime minister's questions every Wednesday for years," his friend Lord Ashdown said last week.
People are referring to Clegg in the same breath as Obama without blushing. Even Pippa Harris, his friend from university, licensed to speak out by the Clegg team to the Guardian, invokes the US president. "People are crying out for their politicians to tell it to them straight, to be trustworthy, like Obama. I hope they sense Nick wants to do that."
But the Clegg that stands up in the second TV debate on Thursday and renews his pledge to voters that he is the man to take a swinging axe to the "two old parties" of the establishment, is an odd axeman. His half-Russian father's grandfather was the attorney general of the Imperial Russian senate, and his great-great-aunt was the writer Baroness Moura Budberg. Maxim Gorky helped his grandma and his great-aunt escape. His best friend is the author Marcel Theroux, who texted him this week to gee on his schoolmate.
Theroux's brother Louis, the broadcaster and writer, was another schoolmate. Some of Clegg's happiest memories include hanging out at the Hampstead home of another school friend, the son of writer and critic Al Alvarez. Clegg would go on to be a fact-checker for Christopher Hitchens and, as a teenager, wrote his own magical realist novel. "Words, words, words", as the non-relative Chekhov wrote for a similarly bookish teenage character.
But also luck, luck, luck. One of his jobs was secured by his family's neighbour: former Tory foreign secretary Lord Carrington recommended him for a job in Brussels with the Conservative EU commissioner Leon Brittan – the kind of helpful word in high places not unknown to David Cameron.
Political activitiesAnd yet and yet. Why didn't Clegg just become a Tory? Clegg worked for many years for Brittan, who is wont to tell people that he thought Clegg would have been a great Tory MP. Clegg's favourite book, Lampedusa's The Leopard, a line from which is a Tory motto: "If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change."
Clegg's attendance at the John Locke society was more about the society and less about John Locke. Friends can't remember him having political affiliation and ridicule the idea that he was a Tory.
Instead Clegg's political activities at Cambridge, where he studied anthropology, stretched to organising a campaign for indigenous people.
His favourite academic work then was that of Prof Keith Hart on the informal economy and how the seemingly economically inactive in less developed countries were actually economically active in different ways.
There are claims of records showing he joined the Young Conservatives at university. Clegg says: "I know there are [those claims] but I was very, very, leftwing. I was very influenced by Marxist thinkers."
Harris says: "Nick was always looking abroad. He wasn't party-political and didn't spend his time on student politics. He was much more interested in the rest of the world than us."
When he did his thesis at the University of Minnesota, it was on the "deep green" movement and the idea that humans' effect on the environment was not being appreciated.
Clegg says it was just as memorable in underscoring to him that Britain had to realise its place in the world.
Back in Europe and working for Brittan was when he turned towards party politics. But he insists, never a Tory.
"You've got to remember the role I had at the commission," Clegg says in a quiet moment on the quiet campaign trail this week.
He worked for Brittan by managing development projects abroad, not writing political speeches, and Brittan didn't press Clegg too hard to convert to Conservatism.
"I think he may have tried a bit, but not that much. But what he did do was that he saw that I had a lot of strong opinions and he said 'You've got to do something about it' and I said, 'What, me?' " Brittan confirmed the story today.
Clegg recalls his time in Brussels was the era of the Tory government's "crazy insularity". He spent time in libraries reading, among other things, Locke, and being impressed by Ashdown, the first Lib Dem leader.
"I remember being very struck by Paddy Ashdown. At the height of the beef war, a great trade war between Europe and the United States about the use of hormones in beef, Paddy came to Strasbourg. I said to Leon, would you mind telling Paddy after your meeting that 'Nick Clegg is a big fan of yours and would like to get involved.'"
Uncaptured party
Ashdown's party appealed for reasons he thinks still stand. "I'm now hearing echoes of it – a liberating feel that the Lib Dems aren't captured by anyone, neither representing big business or the unions. There's a very, very strong feeling, and one of the reasons we're attracting so many votes now: this lot – they are not beholden to anyone.
"All these things now relevant are Liberal preoccupations: political reform, civil liberties, empowerment of individuals – all these things come very naturally to me. There is a pessimism at force in Conservatism and a top-down approach to society in Labour – neither of which, I thought, rather captures the true spirit of liberalism. But I'm not going to pretend there was some moment of epiphany."
What about his family's politics? Though his father was a banker and could be expected to be a Conservative, Clegg describes his dad as a radical who is far more incensed by the behaviour of today's bankers than his son. It was his father who came up with the policy the party announced last week to ban bonuses at the board level of banks.
Indeed, his family's experience may have had a subliminal effect on Clegg. His Dutch mother, Hermance, was the daughter of a Shell engineer who took his family to Japan, where she was held as a prisoner of war. When little Clegg and his siblings asked her if the TV programme Tenko resembled their life, she would rebuke them that "it was nothing like it. We were absolutely forbidden from talking to the guards".
It's here that he is most loquacious about how his background has informed his politics. "I tell you what I do think. In ways that didn't feel explicit because of the trajectory that my gran had, but also things that happened to my mother.
"There is a very palpable sense that there's something sane and sensible and tolerant about Britain if you've got people on both sides of your family who have fled from terror. All this violence and then Britain contained the extremes. From that flows a genuine love and attachment to liberal England and liberal England is tolerant and liberal England treasures moderation over extremes."
It could be that this driving political force has the potential to drive a wedge between him and the Daily Mail. Dutch mother, half-Russian father, Spanish wife, German adviser and a speaker of five languages. The Mail has had a go at his internationalism, indicating a leader who could put British citizens last. Does the paper have a point?
"They are completely misjudging modern Britain. The modern Britain I know is countless families that can trace back their lineage to the Vikings to the Normans. Lots and lots of people — families who live abroad, retired couples who live abroad on the Costa del Sol to construction workers in Bahrain."
Clegg has personal hinterland in spades. He admits he loves pop star Prince, reading a few pages of novels a night, and once having been being able to perform traditional Russian dances. He is unfussy and not grand – unaware he was being watched, he phone-bashed to get his children back from Spain where they were stranded this week (other leaders would have had aides to do that for them). He is keen for anyone to come and sit next to him on his battlebus, while other leaders are cordoned off. Now good at eye contact – on the TV debates he stole a march by eyeballing the camera, unlike the other two contenders – he always made time for journalists, doesn't appear to have favourites and is good at first names.
Political wedge
But sometimes his worldliness gives him a slight tinge of aloofness. Clegg has expressions that Alastair Campbell would never have let Tony Blair pull, a face pretty much permanently set in resigned concern. For the Heineken leader wanting to reach parts of the electorate other Lib Dem leaders can't, there are areas he says hesimply can't remember. "Louis is not really helping me out right now," he said this week when asked about whether Theroux was right to say he was Clegg's fag. "I genuinely can't remember." On another occasion he says, "I genuinely have never asked my parents how they vote." This is very unusual and it may be as the campaign progresses that he will not be able to get away with answers stretching credulity. He may also relax sufficiently to remember the answers.
He has been done for inconsistencies between his career and CV, particularlyas he chose not to include an eight-and-a-half-month stint working as a lobbyist. Clegg had said that between being an MEP and becoming an MP he subsidised raising his family by stint teaching at universities. He did not include the two days a week over nearly nine months in which he worked for European lobbying firm GPlus which is explicit about its activity. Clegg's aides at the Liberal Democrat headquarters insist he's not embarrassed by his lobbying past.
Or maybe he has inherited his dad's talent for the poker face. Those who did business with Clegg's banker father remember he was very good at putting a brave face on when sealing a deal. Younger Clegg now knows the feeling.

You mentioned, "The ?relief? that the ?relationship with a source of relief? provides is from pain or frustration related to unmet emotional needs." This is interesting to wrap my mind around because I know of a few people, including myself, who struggled in their relationships with a notion of a Higher Power or a God. They are recovering devout people. I say that partially joking, but many of us had a very dysfunctional relationship with God, and ultimately acted out in other addictions to numb that discomfort.
I think the ultimate relationship many people need to learn how to have is the one with themselves — and in learning to do that by way of program, treatment and counseling, all arrows point up to some invisible all mighty; some might find that an obstacle or Catch-22.
With a real nourishing relationship with another person or one's self, we seem to be driven toward a level of intimacy we did not know before. One wise person I know said 'intimacy' meant: look "into me and see." and intimacy requires a great deal of trust; and trust is not easily awarded or deserved for a lot of people. So, I find that people feel less-than, and often undeserving of intimacy where a partner can actually look into them and see them for who they are in the here and now … so they remain closed down in this area. For some people I know, this is where porn seems to come in; they see porn providing a whole lot less rejection when dealing with a picture or a movie. (But it recycles the pain because the pain is never dealt with or experienced).
I think you understand this all a great deal better than me (thankfully), and I agree that there are tremendous pent-up pains residing in a lot of us due to unmet emotional needs — and that for many of us, we numbed (or sought relief) from unemotional non-nourishing sources — and then we happened to get addicted to that stuff.
So, if a person has arrested their addiction today and has gravitated toward an intimate relationship with God and/or another human being, why will mere acknowledgment of a Relationship Model of Recovery help bring about trust, self-esteem (we deserve), or even respect in a relationship? Wouldn't this Model of Recovery make relationships with anyone NOT in recovery at this level intensely impossible?
Response from Daniel….
I believe that there is a stage of recovery when recovering people must come to terms with some limitations and implications embedded in the 12-Step program and philosophy that pose challenges to their continued growth. At some point, the ?externalization? of the higher power comes back to haunt them ? the consensus that the higher power is the ultimate source or authority, and exists outside of oneself.
It seems, today more than ever, within the Anonymous constituency, an ever-increasing number people are expressing disenchantment or wonderment about their relationship with their higher power. The higher power, what is it? Many are feeling like they?re up against a wall, and are realizing, as you yourself had stated above, that their relationship with a higher power or the higher power has become dysfunctional, that they?re (still) emotionally starved, that take them back to the days of their addiction, and puts them at risk of relapse. Many are wondering why they?re left feeling bad about themselves for becoming addicted of being addicted, that there is something deeply wrong inside their core. Their higher power equates to losing touch with themselves, as if their selves have brought them nothing but destruction. They have learned to not take credit for anything and bestow the responsibility for everything good that happens to God. As a result, many are losing faith. This stage can be many years into recovery and any number of relapses later.
Something must have gotten lost along the way. In the earliest stages of recovery, some call abstinence or sustained abstinence, we realize that it was our will or lack of will that wrecked havoc on our lives?and that we are powerless, our lives unmanageable, and only a ?power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity.? In the beginning of recovery, total surrender is both necessary and comforting, as it lightens the burden of shame and demoralization from having lost control and the many humiliating consequences. It?s blind faith that gets us out of the gate. Initially we stop blaming ourselves.
At what point can we begin to take some credit for what we had accomplished? At what point do we begin to focus on ourselves as a source and authority? When do our relationships take center stage? When will the relationship we have with ourselves be restored? When you say, ?I think the ultimate relationship many people need to learn how to have is the one with themselves — learning to do that by way of program, treatment and counseling, I thought it was me talking. It has been a basic premise or theme running through my work as I emphasize the primary relationship, i.e. the one we have with ourselves, as well, developing relationship-building skills. Yes, when all arrows point up to some invisible all mighty; many will find the prevailing interpretations and applications of the higher powers to be a Catch-22.
When one establishes or restores the relationship with oneself, intimacy becomes possible. The profound treatment implications of The Relationship Model of Addiction come from the premise upon which it is based; that intimacy is a basic human need, and when intimacy or understanding are achieved, emotional needs are actually getting met as opposed leaving one starved and desperate for relief, that they are life and self-sustaining.
There is something missing if recovery and one?s program serves to perpetuate the sense of isolation and disconnection. Intimate relationships and understanding and the process of co-creation are key missing ingredients. You seem to understand that before you have a relationship characterized by respect, trust, acceptance and deep knowing or understanding with someone else, we must first develop such a relationship with oneself. Before you can love someone else, you must love yourself.
You seem to see that the addictive potential of pornography comes from the temporary and artificial relief derived from the relationship that develops with an imaginary other. It?s only in fantasy to be in a relationship in which you will never be rejected or abandoned and the (imaginary) other is everything you wish him or her to be, until, of course, reality comes crashing down. Relating, let alone being truly intimate with another human being quickly becomes an unbearable, if not, impossible proposition. While the relationship with pornographic images may provide excitement and escape, in the end, the addict is left emptier and hungrier than ever.
Just thinking about The Relationship Model of Addiction doesn?t necessarily ?bring about trust, self-esteem and respect.? It doesn?t matter whether you think about the model or not, the idea is focus on yourself and the relationships you are creating. The idea is also to heighten your awareness of your hunger for connection, your longing for love, your hunger for intimacy. If that translates to you suddenly being able to create depth and rapport in your relationships, then see for yourselves, the difference between groveling for crumbs to survive and the replenishment that intimacy brings. I refer to the ?sacred space of co-creation? as when two separate, self-realized people come together, united in purpose, exploring and exposing themselves, enraptured in deep understanding. Intimacy as a life force is, in itself, life-sustaining, inspiring, the closest thing to a natural rush as you could get. But the relationship goes beyond the rush, beyond sexual excitement and attraction, beyond unmet emotional needs; the relationship is a swirling energy, a whole other entity, like fire igniting when a match strikes a flint. It?s food our beings need to thrive. Living with a sense of purpose is what The Relationship Model of Addiction is about, and your purpose becoming a more powerful force than your need for relief. Later stages of recovery are when you?re most likely to embark on that long journey home. The next relationship is the one that develops when you and ?the higher? come together.

After importing the posts (Using the WordPress Importer)the faulty code can be removed, but all of it re-appears once the 'update' button has been clicked. I would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions for a full/complete database export (plug-in?) that includes all of the related links from my Dev Server as well as the rest of the content.

Mama's Choice – Part 6: Inception
by Vyckie GarrisonEver since I watched the movie, Inception, I've wanted to shout to the world, Wow - that happened to me! And here I thought Quiverfull was my own idea all along!!If you haven't seen the movie, here's a quick summary: "Inception" is the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious. A thief, who possesses the ability to project himself deep inside the subconscious of a victim's mind in order to steal their ideas, is hired to reverse the process - he must plant an idea so skillfully that the subject will act against his own best interests and according to another man's wishes, all the while, firmly believing that his choice to do so is … [Read more...]

I remember not being able to hold another mom's baby without my mind screaming to me, "I want another baby!!"Why the desperate need for more?Partly - we really do love babies.

Mama's Choice – Part 2: Spirit Led, or Alien Impregnation?
by Vyckie GarrisonWhen Michelle Duggar got pregnant despite being on birth control, and subsequently lost the baby, the belief that - by using hormonal birth control - she had destroyed the precious life of their unborn child led Michelle and her husband, Jim Bob, to search the scriptures and pray. The result was a firm conviction to trust the Lord with their family planning. Michelle pitched the Pill - a decision which has led to the Duggars becoming one of America's most prolific couples.Erika Shupe was convicted to leave her family planning in the Lord's hands, but due to financial hardships and the desire for a healthy body, she was not able to fully commit her reproductive life … [Read more...]
Mama's Choice … Whose Choice?
by Vyckie Garrison"A Woman's Choice" is a central issue in contemporary American culture, religion, and politics. Our society values Choice as an imperative freedom.Although "liberated" women would never personally choose to forego birth control in favor of welcoming each and every pregnancy as an unmitigated blessing from God, and even though privately feminists may be repulsed at the TLC spectacle of mega-moms bearing a new baby every-other year, they will nonetheless defend the unrestricted right of Michelle Duggar and Kelly Bates to have as many children as these fecund women choose to produce.Even submissive Christian Quiverfull women, who reject the feminist ideals of … [Read more...]

Hal Duncan, the juggernaut responsible for Ink and Vellum, is storybusking. Go help him out–he's a great writer. And in solidarity with him, here's an excerpt from a novel I'm working on, The Book Murderer. If you like what you read, go donate something to Hal.
On one of his most recent missions, the Book Murderer had driven inland to a local community college, to steal the novel rough draft and notes from an old mole of a professor. The Book Murderer called this practice "source-snuffing." Of late, the Book Murderer wanted more and more to see his nemesis in its pre-natal, natal, and juvenile forms. To better understand, that he might destroy faster and more furiously, and perhaps one day learn the ancient arts of killing books near the point of conception. It was a dream, but everyone needed something to aspire to.
The Book Murderer called the professor "Linda Hunt" because she resembled a slightly taller version of the actor. Linda Hunt, beloved by her credulous and no doubt illiterate students, had published what many reviewers considered one good novel back in the 1970s, entitled Gormus the Imposter. She had then spent the rest of her life tunneling through the dirt, blind and querulous. The Book Murderer had read about the professor in the city's weekly rag, a broadsheet of no particular reputation that he held by the corners to avoid the noxious ink. "For the past twenty-five years, amongst some false-starts, I have been working on a new novel entitled Sojourns Amongst the Blind Men of the Interior." The reporter noted that the manuscript was some 2,000 pages thus far and a photograph confirmed this fact, showing the professor sitting at her desk nearly devoured by the stack of pages upon her blotter. The manuscript clearly had many revisions scrawled upon its pages, and Linda Hunt admitted ruefully that she had not had time to create a copy of her changes.
The heist itself went well—ski mask to project his identity; dull time on campus with most students away; professor out of his office; quick lock-pick—but things became more complicated in the parking lot. Linda Hunt, showing an unexpected proclivity for both detective work and quick action (or perhaps it was luck) tracked the Book Murderer down before he could get to his car. There came a sudden explosive curse from his left, and a rush of air indicating something ferocious descending, and a bull rush by the old mole sent the Book Murderer with a surprised oof flying to the ground—"It felt as if a refrigerator had fallen on top of me"—while, as if a dream or a bad movie, the manuscript—bound to an almost mummy-like extent with rubber bands—slowly thudded to the asphalt, skoshing onto one side like a listing ocean liner some seven or eight feet away from him. Driven by some odd instinct that was not self-preservation, the Book Murderer twisted around and leapt upon the manuscript.
Lunging on top of him, the professor rained down all the caged ferocity of fifty badgers upon the Book Murderer, "attempting to beat the living shit out of me," as the Book Murderer later told the lush named Maria in a grave tone, she with her head plonked down on the bar surface, blonde hair sprawling out over her face. "I struggled hard, but this person was possessed, I tell you, and had the strength of one hundred badgers. Her hands were like huge mallets tenderizing my poor flesh."
He had had flailed woundedly across his back with his left arm in a feeble attempt to fight back, the other desperate to keep his ski mask on while he bloated out his belly to keep the manuscript safe beneath him. Meanwhile, the professor boxed his ears, pulled the hair on the back of his neck, and punched him in the sides, roaring "No one takes my sojourn away from me! No one! Not a fucking soul! Takes! My! Novel! From! Me! Do you hear?!" The pummeling was, to be honest, as much startling as damaging, but it still hurt and he had no effective defense, nor any way to rise without giving up the manuscript.
After a short while, feeling as if he were in a small boat being buffeted by wind and rising waves, the Book Murderer clenched his stomach, stopped fighting, pulled the manuscript out from under him, and shoved it to the side. "Take it! Take the damn thing if it means so much to you, you asshole," the Book Murderer said.
The professor, teetering, lifted her manuscript off the asphalt, embraced it, and as now heavily breathing Book Murderer rolled over onto his back spat upon him before stalking off, seemingly as diminutive as ever.
"Don't you know who I am, Linda Hunt?" the Book Murderer screamed after her, to the amusement of the couple of freshman who were the only ones loitering in the parking lot. "Don't you know I'm the Book Murderer. And how the fuck did you get so fucking strong?!"
"You could be the goddamn Pope of Siberia and I wouldn't care!" the professor shouted over her shoulder. "Leave my book alone, you philistine. Ever come back here and I'll kill you!"
"There are laws against threats in this city! I can have you arrested!" the Book Murderer howled after her, but received no reply.
Wiping off the professor's spit, pungent with the unexpected stench of chewing tobacco, the Book Murderer made his escape. He suffered an enduring bafflement, however, over the days as his wounds healed and the bruises on the back of his head and sides of his face faded to yellow. The manuscript, from what he'd glimpsed of it on his way out, was awful: turgid, long, and weighed down by a pendulous, too thick ending. Why would the professor care so much about it? At least one person other than the author had read part of it.
"But the worst of it had nothing to do with the book," the Book Murderer said to the now snoring Maria slumped next to him at the Bullheaded as he downed a shot of Caol Ila, cask strength. This was not information he could share with a conscious person, and he even waited until the bartender had gone in back for more ice and the television was especially blarey with idiot sports. "It came from the feeling I was being watched by some fucking shadow. I had the distinct impression of some asshole staring at me intently from one of the cars. I felt it even more acutely as I drove off, but I could see no one—not even the suggestion of a fart in the breeze. Now, what do you think of that? What, exactly, should I think of that?"
What he did not say is that noticing this shadow, this ghost, this potential eavesdropping fiend, had given him a slight frisson of unexpected energy and curiosity.
This worried the Book Murderer greatly.
