Sanctuary for the Abused
Monday, April 11, 2011
Brian is an investment banker in his early forties who, in graduate business school, first began to visit prostitutes, spend money on phone sex, compulsively masturbate and, finally spend as much as 5-10 hours a day looking at internet porn. When sexually acting out, he would feel that someone had turned on his brain for the first time. On the net, he would suddenly feel alive. He had energy and felt the euphoria that sexual immersion seductively provides. His mind slowed down; he didn't need to keep moving.
Since his teens, he had masturbated nearly every night before going to sleep and sometimes once or twice during the day as well. He was shy in school and dated infrequently, partly from his feelings of inadequacy from the persistent inability to concentrate, multiple failures, disapproval from parents, teachers and peers and the consequent demoralization that contributed to low self-esteem.
Undergraduate school had been difficult for him. Complex mathematical formulations from his economics courses were tape-recorded while he fantasized about looking under the girl's shirt who sat next to him. He was chronically late at classes, his dorm was messy and his clothes were disheveled. He seemed to live in another world. Once on the job, he loved the thrill, excitement and risk of being a trader, but when he had to sit in boardrooms to listen to his bosses talk about strategy, his "eyes glazed over" with boredom and he entered into an "erotic haze". He would fantasize about the escort he had been with the night before and anticipated getting home after a long day to get on the chat rooms and look at pornography on the internet.
His days were the usual business of forgetting assignments and people's names, of losing things and being chastised by bosses, as he had been by parents, for not being able to sit still or follow directions. At home, he felt empty, depressed and lonely. He was unable to focus on a book or a movie. He often felt different than others. It was as though others were given a chip at birth that allowed them to remember simple things, to process information accurately, to complete tasks in an orderly fashion, to moderate their impulses and calm their bodies and mind when they wanted to. But Brian knew he was "different" from them.
His girlfriend complained that he interrupted their conversations and that he always put his needs first from; He could never finish a task that wasn't engrossing for him. He would lose his temper over trivial things and he didn't know why.
On the internet, however, looking at a montage of erotic images, he finally felt not scattered. Moreover, he felt soothed, whole and unafraid. Like a magic elixir, he would immediately feel "not different". He felt alert, focused and alive. However, he soon found himself in job performance because of the long nights and weekends of compulsive sexing. He went to a 12-step "S" program and learned to stay away from compulsive sex. He married and got a promotion at work. Time passed as he worked his 12-step program and settled in to marriage. However, the impulse to call an escort or make an erotic phone call never went away.
One day, after two years of abstinence, he ran across an escort in a hotel who offered him her services and he could not think of a reason to refrain. Also, he had realized that his fantasies had taken on a distinct sadomasochist flavor and he had been curious about acting them out with this woman. He had been involved in a deal at work that went wrong and he felt "less than" and somewhat ashamed. Memories of shaming and humiliating remarks about his conduct and learning skills from teachers and parents came flooding back, precipitating his masochistic sexual fantasies. His sense of self was completely destabilized. So he did what had always worked for him when he felt psychologically fragmented: he went to an escort to shore up his fragile self esteem. Once again he would miraculously feel like he could live with himself. The non-stop put downs that had taken up permanent residence in his head were quieted, at least for a short period of time. Sex took the edge off like a few martinis do for an alcoholic.
The "quick fix" however, was followed by a crash which made him feel worse than he did before he went to the escort. Knowing he had once again lost control of himself, he would feel extremely remorseful and depressed. His feelings about himself bordered on self-loathing. After the crash, he no longer felt alert, focused, or euphoric. While Brian had been able to walk away from cocaine three years ago, the sex addiction had remained entrenched in his psyche: like an athlete's foot of the mind -- it called him -- incessantly-- an itch to be scratched but never soothed.
It was at this point that Brian decided that if he didn't leave the house, he would not frequent escorts, and so he re-discovered the Internet. In no time at all, Brian was spending untold minutes, hours, days totally absorbed in the internet, using chat rooms to set up erotic encounters, and exploring the fetishistic and S&M images and enticements of the cybersex world. Porn surfing became his medium of acting out because the images were flashy, intense, and risky and he could easily go to another web page when the novelty wore off and he would start to be bored.
What happened with Brian's recovery? He seemed to have managed to avoid compulsive sex for a period of time and to make some positive changes in his life. But when faced with the opportunity, he was easily led to return to sex addiction.
In Brian's case, he was not able to get a handle on his sex addiction because he had not been diagnosed and treated for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder. A particular constellation of imbalanced neurotransmitters were creating physical and emotional problems for him, including an inability to regulate attention, control impulses, sleeping, and mood and energy levels. His need to self-medicate his impulsivity, restlessness and mental hyperactivity gave way to using sexually compulsive behaviors to try to fix his brain chemistry. Poor impulse control combined with a drive for high-risk, intense, novel experiences contributed to Brian's addiction to sex.
Many sexual compulsives with ADHD have had experiences like Brian's. They struggled in school because they got bored or had a hard time paying attention. Once bored, they would stare out the window, often caught up by sexual fantasies. As adults, relationships are difficult for them. Impulses carry them from project to project, relationship to relationship, job to job. Their minds come screeching to a halt as they try to remember a friend's name or the location of the escort they visited last night. Most feel the self-loathing of people who are working under capacity, and experience the pain and grief of living a life of lost opportunities and diminished personal potential.
Deregulation and Deprivation
Deregulation and impulsiveness are the hallmarks of ADHD, as well as the hallmark of sex addiction. Unable to set boundaries on their own behavior, ADHDers feel an intense need to continue forever whether it is on a work project or an involvement in a sexual enactment. One definition of compulsion may very well be "a loss of control characterized by an intense desire to continue despite adverse consequences."
A sense of deprivation then emerges when compulsive sexualizing does not provide the gratification and satisfaction that results from having the experience of natural pleasure as it relates to intimacy with another human being. Rather than sex being a way to bring two people closer, sexual enactments for the ADHDer can stem from intra-psychic conflict, from a narcissistic need for validation not received in his child's ADHD world, and as a way to medicate the physiological symptoms of brain chemistry deregulation. The result is that sex takes up a disproportionately large place in his psychic equilibrium. His very sense of self depends on his sexuality.
Deprivation is not a feeling that is comfortable for the ADHD/sex addict. He is a bottomless pit of needs, always looking ahead and never feeling satisfied. The simpler pleasures of life are too mild. Risky, novel, intense and mysterious experiences such as those provided by Internet porn match his voracious appetite. Sex with a spouse seems banal. Marriages are ruined. Unfortunately, trying to feed the monster of endless needs makes the need grow larger and more insistent so the ADHD/sex addict sets a vicious cycle in motion. Despite endless hours looking at cybersex, no amount is ever enough. Sex addicts/cybersex addicts are rarely sated and live daily with a sense of unsatisfied longing.
Mood and Emotion
There are problems with mood and emotion regulation and stabilization in ADHD and sex addicts. ADHD/sex addicts often say they live on emotional roller coasters – the need for risk and intensity in life and in sexuality is ever-present. For the ADHDer, feeling states fluctuate with extreme alterations in the highs and lows over hour or even minutes. Maintaining emotions on an even keel is an intricate process involving fine adjustments by different parts of the brain and nervous system. Since setbacks throw ADHDers off balance easily, they may try to adjust their instability with a sex/internet binge to balance mood and brain chemistry. The release of endorphins and dopamine from sex temporarily settles the physical, emotional and biochemical roller-coaster that many ADHDers experience on a daily basis.
The ADHD mind drifts hither and yon. It daydreams, wanders and drifts among loosely and tenuously connected thoughts, often moving to sexual fantasies that quell its restless energy. This is the famous "distractibility" of ADHD. An ADHDer might engage in sexual fantasies when he should be working. The radio in the ADHD brain seems to have a malfunctioning scan button that won't let him switch channels efficiently. The sex addict's solution is to stay tuned to one channel only and it is usually sexual fantasy to which the channel is set. Once he's in his compulsive, rigid focus, it's hard for him to turn off the scan button to redirect. Hence, distractibility is not the only problem; ADHDers can also have problems with hyper focusing, or over focusing. Once the person's attention is captured, he can stay engaged with what he's doing almost endlessly. Some may not be able to pay attention; ADHD/ sexual compulsives usually can't stop paying attention. Hours and hours go by, chores don't get done, children and spouse are neglected, books go unread, the glory of the sound of music is muted. This type of erotic hyper attention can also take its toll in exhaustion, fatigue, and sometimes failing health.
The over- persistence of the sexual compulsive can make switching gears out of the "erotic haze" very difficult. Although this type of self-absorption makes productive/creative work and interpersonal relationships impossible, refocusing is painful. Going from one task that involves excitement, risk, mystery, intensity, soothing and escape is excruciating when taking out the garbage or paying the bills is called for.
Another factor that contributes to sexual addiction for ADHDers is that many people with ADHD have defective sensory filters that make them experience the world as a barrage to the senses -- noises, sights and smells rush in without barriers or protection. When you live with ADHD, you may be constantly bombarded with input that others may not even notice. This assault on the senses often creates feelings of intense anxiety and irritation that can trigger sexual acting out. The comfort of the "erotic haze" on the internet or the soothing experience with an escort can ameliorate these incessant barrages of sensory stimuli to the ADHD brain.
Impaired Social Skills
Some ADHDers have experienced the negative impact of ADHD on social adjustment. Many are shy and were not particularly popular in school, especially if learning disabilities have been in the picture. Social ostracizetion has been part of the childhood of many ADHDers. As adults, many ADHDers have to work very hard to interact effectively in social and work situations. The development of social skills is more an art than a science because we must learn to read the ever-changing reactions of others. If deficient selective attention interferes with paying attention to social cues in order to listen and respond empathically, the ADHDer may feel extremely ill at ease. How much easier to go to a chat room to enter into an eroticized communication where sexuality can be used as a surrogate for real social interactions.
Many ADHD children grew up in families in which put-downs, disapproval, personal attacks and threats of abandonment were commonplace events. Punishment and frustration from teachers and taunts from peer groups added to a sense of worthlessness.
As an adult, the ADHD child judges himself mercilessly and often tries to be perfect in a desperate attempt to shield his shame. He feels deeply ashamed of being "different" due to ADHD as well as of being a sexual compulsive – a "deviant", if he becomes one. Chronic, relentless shame is devastating. Mired in feelings of worthlessness, defectiveness and despair, he is full of doubt about his very validity.
Shame and sex addiction are natural partners. The more intense the pain of self-hatred, the stronger the drive to find a sexual behavior that offers relief from internal pain and emptiness. For the sex addict, the answer to his inner problems lay outside himself in the "magic" of sexual desire, for or from, another. He confuses sexual desirability with self-acceptance. He is trying to fill the void that has been at least partially created by shame. He simply cannot bear feeling empty inside.
ADHD temper problems or problems with rage may also stem from this chronic shame. A rageful person is desperate to keep others far enough away so they won't see his sense of defectiveness. A shamed person can only think to defend himself from real or imagined attacks by cruelly attacking the other person. And rage works. It drives people away and so protects the person from revealing his shame. But this device of using rage to keep people away is very damaging to a person's self-esteem. Rage breaks the connection between people and so increases the shamed person's shame. A rage/shame spiral can result. Social isolation lends itself to engrossment in sexual fantasy as a way to ameliorate lonliness.
The person who is shame-based sees himself as deeply and permanently flawed. He "knows" he is not like other persons. He "knows" he is different. He "knows" he is so bad he is beyond repair. He "knows" he will never be able to join others in a world of productivity, balance, self-respect and pride.Shame and Perverse Sexuality
An early-life sense of shame for being "different" and fear of abandonment can influence the sexual development of an ADHD child. Parents who may have been unstable themselves and who had no knowledge of the special needs of an ADHD child, may create a shame-based home environment. The messages that the ADHD child who has chronic behavior problems, hyperactivity, aggressiveness and learning disabilities receives at home may include:
1 .You are not good;
2. You are not good enough;
3. You don't belong;
4. You are deficient and disappoint us.
5. You are not worthy of love.
Shame and sexuality become closely connected. Children shamed early in life may become sexually compulsive or develop perverse fantasies as a way to feel better about themselves. Fetishism may occur. Sadomasochistic fantasies and enactments may become paramount. Exhibitionism may be developed and acted on.
Exhibitionism can easily be a chosen perversion for the person who is shame-based. The person who is shamed, instead of hiding, calls attention to himself. He may expose himself in public, in an automobile or by standing in a window. The ADHD child may have suffered from a lack of recognition of his real and valid feelings, wants and needs by parents and teaches who expected him to be other than the way he was. He becomes narcissistically driven. The exhibitionist seeks to redress this lack of recognition. He also uses his perversion as a strategy for dealing with shame by displaying what he really wants to hide – himself.
Sadomasochistic fantasies and enactments are common among shame-based people who have difficulty imagining that relationships can include mutual respect, dignity and pride. People who have grown up with shame, like many ADHD people, often believe that fulfilling, exciting relationships must be shame-based. Men pay hundreds of dollars to see dominatrixes who physically humiliate them and repeatedly tell them something is wrong with them. The submissive man, fearing abandonment, tries to please the "mistress" by becoming whoever she wants him to be, no matter how humiliating or de-humanizing her demands may be. The reasoning is such: "If anyone saw the real me, they would be revolted. I must please the mistress by being a person she would be proud of." Pleasing the dominant parental figure is a way on undoing the pain of having a parent that couldn't be pleased. The S&M enactment thus turns trauma into triumph because the masochistic man succeeds in pleasing his dominant partner.
Self-abuse is a common result of shame. Here, the person who is deeply shamed engages in masochistic behaviors that damage him. Seeking out the services of a dominatrix who may beat, whip and verbally humiliate him is one such way of self-abuse.
The other side of the S&M coin is the desire to humiliate and administer pain to others. Shame is a threat to a person's basic sense of being. The shamed person feels small weak, vulnerable and exposed. He may find this self-hatred to be unendurable and in order to survive psychologically, he transfers his hatred on to others, treating them with distain and contempt.

How Our Kids Are Paying It Forward
Isn't it wonderful how one act of kindness can start a sort of domino effect. Do something kind for another person and often they will do the same for others. It is no different for kids, whose innate child like logic, sense of justice and giving hearts make them especially good at taking in a kindness and giving it back.
We often don't hear these stories, the ones where our kind acts are paid forward. Operation Warm staff, supporters and volunteers can see it in the the kindnesses that the kids offer each other on coat distribution days. One friend will often let another have the last coat in a favorite color, help a smaller child pick out a coat, or give a volunteer the biggest, warmest hug they have ever gotten in their life.
Recently, one of our supporters, The Colonial Oaks Foundation, sent us cards that were filled out by the kids. In addition to thanking Operation Warm donors, several of the cards mentioned how the gift inspired them to support someone else in their lives, through an act of kindness. As you read through the ways these kids paid it forward, keep in mind that most of these are children who often don't have their basic needs met, and yet, they are often the first ones to give away the little they have.
Enjoy reading the following notes and comments from the kids. They will definitely make your day a little brighter.
Jordan was so grateful for his brand new coat that he 'gave a friend my favorite toy.'
Hailey said she "Helped fold laundry so my mom could do homework. I also put the grocery list together. Thank you for the coat to keep me warm."
Justice said, "When my mom left, I cleaned the living room and when she back I surprised her with a clean living room so she would not have to clean tomorrow. Thank you."
Angel said, "Help my mom when she was sick. I clean my toys when it was messy. Thank you. God bless you."
Anesha says she "Gave my friend my lunch when she didn't have any."
Serena said she "gives people hugs when they are sad."
Rachael gave food to the homeless.
Brianna says, "I gave a friend my hat because she was cold."
Jesus goes with his family to visit the sick on Wednesdays and Thursdays. He brings them fruit or a little snack.
Allen says," I saw a friend in need and hugged her because she had a sad look on her face."
Julez says," I gave a friend my video game because he didn't have any."
Ella says, "I like to share my toy and donate my clothes to more in need children."
Every year, Isabella helps her family gather items for institutions in need, such a shelter for victims of domestic violence.
Karolloy says, "I helped my neighbor Carlos get us when he tripped."
Ashley says, "I got my brother ready for school to pay it forward. Thank you for buying us coats. I really appreciate it."
Isabel L. says, "I helped my mom pay for the bills and baby sat the dogs for her cousin.
Kareema says, "Thank you so much for the coats. You didn't have to do it, but you did!" She wanted you all to know that she helped her neighbor with the groceries.
Jazmierere says, "I helped a friend to buy lunch when he didn't have money."
Azuleirys says, "I helped a lady across the street."
Karden helped her mommy when she was sick.
Treylier says, "I gave my allounance to my mom for my new baby sister."
Tosjayer Says, "I gave my friend my new scarf because she didn't have one."
Our thanks go out to donors and supports like you. You are making a difference.

Jimmy Fallon Trims Jared Leto's Beard + Lindsay Lohan Takes the Ice Bucket Challenge on 'Tonight Show' [VIDEOS]
Last night's 'Tonight Show' was just chock-full of surprises!
Last night's 'Tonight Show' was just chock-full of surprises!
Cady Heron and Ms. Norbury, together again!
James Franco may have propositioned a 17-year-old girl on Instagram, but he's pretty adamant that he never slept with Lindsay Lohan -- despite being on her hookup list. Still, he recounts being curled up in bed with her at the Chateau Marmont -- a story he relates in some serious detail in a new piece on Vice.
Lindsay Lohan has been having the time of her life in Cannes, France, sharing a ton of behind-the-scenes photos for her followers — including a topless selfie.
The final episode of Lindsay Lohan's eponymous and fraught-with-drama reality show for OWN offered a HUGE reveal. The struggling actress confessed that she had a recent miscarriage.
Upset about 'How I Met Your Mother' ending? Not as much as Lindsay Lohan and Billy Eichner!
How dare you, 'How I Met Your Mother.' How dare you.
Fans everywhere are already mourning the end of 'How I Met Your Mother' -- yes, after nine seasons, including one that took place over the course of a single weekend -- but no one is nearly as upset as 'Billy on the Street' host Billy Eichner. And also Lindsay Lohan, because apparently the tarnished starlet is also a big fan of CBS sitcoms.
I usually don't get to watch late night TV, but my sleep pattern is off this week and I got to watch "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon and guest Lindsay Lohan.
Way back in 2000, Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan teamed up for the TV movie 'Life-Size,' about how Lohan's Eve doll (think Barbie) accidentally comes to life when she's trying to resurrect her deceased mother. (You know, the usual.) It was a shenanigan-filled piece of pop culture -- and it's getting a sequel!
Shawn Holley has saved Lindsay Lohan's ass more times than anyone can count. So when Holley graciously accepted the troubled starlet back as a client, her first order of business was to make sure Lindsay paid the massive amount of money she still owed.
And in a bizarre twist? The ladies are now square.
Lindsay Lohan only had to do one thing: check into rehab. That was it. But as usual, even that didn't go as planned, so her never-ending saga has a whole new chapter.

Daughter Accused Of Poisoning Mom
A 13-year-old girl was charged with attempted murder after a teacher heard her telling a classmate she was putting rat poison in her mother's food.
The girl, whose name wasn't released, was charged Thursday after tests showed her mother had arsenic in her blood.
School officials notified police. The girl told investigators she had been joking.
But police asked the mother to get a blood test, which showed enough arsenic in her blood to cause illness but not death, police said.
Police didn't know why the girl would want to kill her mother.

Krisa Elyison is a bride-to-be-bought and paid for by a stuffy aristocrat. Though she secretly longs for just one adventure all on her own, she knows the reality of her life - she is destined to be the wife of the elderly and pompous Lord Radisson.
Kurt Teague is a prisoner - a galactic criminal wanted for multiple murders. He is also Feral, a proud and savage people known for their indomitable wills to survive and their fiercely possessive natures. His tortured past has turned him into a ruthless killer - an unthinkable fate to the innocent, sheltered Krisa.
Resigned to her destiny, Krisa boards the starship that will take her to another planet and her loveless marriage. In the cargo hold, she stumbles across Teague - so fierce a prisoner he's blindfolded and chained to a wall. Even so, her heart jumps at the sound of his deep, gravelly voice. When the ship crashes onto an uncharted jungle planet, Krisa has no choice but to trust the menacing convict with both her virginity and her life.
Yet, on a world filled with ravenous telepathic beasts and cannibalistic natives, Krisa discovers that the gorgeous and mysterious Teague may be the most dangerous animal of all.

Omg!! This is fantastic! Great history I love it!! I hope more books coming in this series, the book will be out here in UK in a few days. The narrator do a great job. A 5 stars for me.
"HOT and STEAMY"
Well lets just say that this story is an awesome sexy read. I didn't want the story to end. This was my first read by Evangeline Anderson, but it wont be my last! I'm going on to the next series! Well what are you waiting for? Get this book! :)
"It Was Out Of This World!"
Evangeline is a very talented author! Her imagination, creativity, and her ability to write a captivating plot and weave in some of the most sensual erotic sex scenes is amazing! I have enjoyed several series she has brought to audio, and Planet X is among my favorites by her.
I loved another Audible member's reference to Pitch Black. This story starts off similar, but once they crash on Planet X this is where Evangeline runs wild with her imagination. Krisa was sold by her parents to an academy who specializes in bride contracts. She's known since she was 13 her contract has been sold, and the school has been molding her to be the proper wife for her future husband. When she becomes of age, she boards the spaceship that will take her to her new home. While aboard the spaceship, she is drawn to the dangerous captive who was bound, blindfolded, and held in the cargo hold. When their ship crashes on Planet X the dangerous captive, Teague, saves her from an attempted attack, and promises to keep her safe until a rescue party comes looking for them. In the meantime, he will have to protect her from telepathic monsters, and navigate a clan of cannibals who have a custom of displaying sexual acts as both entertainment, and to show how well they please their partners. Krisa feels safe in Teague's arms, but the more he teaches her to listen and feel with her body, and not with her mind, the more dangerous he becomes to her virtue and her heart.
Planet X is an erotic sci-if romance with lots of steamy, descriptive, hot sexual scenes. This is not an instant love story, and Evangeline does a great job developing the chemistry and sexual tension between the characters. You will definitely feel the sexual tension between these characters!
William Martin's performance was outstanding! He really delivered on both the female and male characters, as well as all the sensual scenes. I really hope we see more audios narrated by him!
This was an awesome story! Well worth the time and credit! Looking forward to more audios by Evangeline!
"Not what I expected"
I was exhausted with the trend of submission and BDSM crap, was looking for something different, and this was it and it was good.
At first, I thought, men, this is cheesy. I'm a fan of eritic stories. But after a bit, I loved the characters, & loved the plot. I could listen to it all again.
I truly truly enjoyed this book, this author is awesome. every description you can visually see in ypur mind whether it looked right or not. But I love it, the characters are great, sometimes the gurl krisa got on my nerves but just loved this book.
Really enjoyed this story. I think this is one of this authors best work so far. I was drawn in by the plot but the narration kept it alive. Excellent narration. Loved his voice!
It felt a little Pitch Black to me but I loved that movie. So can't complain. Great job!
"Terry Goodkind move over...."
I did not believe any author could be more repetitive than Goodkind but here you have it. This book could have been in readers digest if you condensed it to its actual week story line. It's hard to pick a place to start because there was so much wrong with this book. First if a male author would have written this weak minded, weak willed, whiney female lead with an IQ of 20 every woman activist would have rioted and burned this book and would have been right to do so. For a female author to write this character is absolutely shameful. As a male I find it offensive that the author would actually presume that two males would have fought over this nitwit. Then you have the repetition , thus the Goodkind reference. It was painful I started out skipping 30 seconds then playing at 1.5 speed then skipping chapters and finally stopped all together. This book is a complete waste of time and will be the first time I'm asking for my credit back. I could go on and on but it's really not worth the wasted time it would take to point out everything that was wrong with this book. I have something like 400 audiobooks and I have to say this ranks way down. The narrater did the best he could with what he had to work with. I will say this book is the only one I have from this author so it's possible that she may have been off her game with this one so my review only applies to this book alone.
"keep them coming"
i haven't worn out the stories yet. I keep going back and starting over and find things that I missed. first read the book myself, then get the audio. and read and listen. and then just listen. can't do that with all stories. would get bored.
"Love it"
Great story lots of movement. Narrator did a great job like her chance of voice for characters.
"Very erotic sci-fi"
This audiobook was one I had read in print form a long time ago. The story is very engaging, but the heroine seemed kind of stupid listening to her. She's so naive and holds out so long on the hero's advances that I just wanted to shove her at him and say 'get on with it already!'. The voice of the narrator was very well matched to the characters and I did enjoy the ending.
"Worth it. Amazing."
loved this book and narration. it was sexy, it made me cry, it was beautiful, it was sci-fi, and it was "page turning." I couldn't stop, I listened to the entire thing straight through.

To be independent or to be dependent? The formula "one plus one is one" is here essential for this to work. The different cases, upper and lower is dependent on one another. To give us clarity they have to work together, to be like one the upper and lower cases must work together. Expedition One works best in InDesign or equivalent software. How to use it: write your text in lower case, copy the text frame and "Paste in Place", change your lower case text to upper case (you do that under top menu-type-change case-). Change colour if you want to and maybe change the blending mode in the effects window to "multiply" makes it even more sparkling.

This tomato tart recipe is made for lazy summer days. A thin puff pastry sheet covered in whipped goat cheese and layered with the finest heirloom tomatoes and fresh herbs.
Because it is heirloom tomato season you guys, I couldn't help but whip up this lazy tomato tart recipe yesterday.
A sheet of store bought puff pastry, a creamy goat cheese that I whipped in my food processor with a little olive oil, and freshly picked heirloom tomatoes and herbs.
Use a mixture of different colors and sizes, whatever looks best in your garden or at the market.
I folded a bunch of fresh chives into my whipped goat cheese, because those two combine into the loveliest flavors. Then I spread it all over the top of my cooked puff pastry. I think I thought of this when I made those divine goat cheese crostini, remember those cuties ?
The easiest tomato tart recipe you'll ever make!
You could also cook the goat cheese and tomatoes together with the puff pastry, but I just couldn't bring myself to do that with those perfect fresh heirloom tomatoes.
I used a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to finish, and sprinkled a few flakes of Fleur de Sel over the top of each tomato slice. That salty and tangy little bite, combined with the creaminess of the goat cheese and the subtle oniony flavor of the chives is absolutely divine.
I'm pretty sure I could live happily ever after on this goat cheese tomato tart. I mean, why not ..?
Tomato Tart Ideas:
- You can replace the goat cheese with mascarpone or ricotta cheese.
- Swap the tomatoes for some fresh figs + caramelized onions. Tough I'm pretty sure that would make it a Fig tart ?
- 14 oz puff pastry
- 1 pound heirloom tomatoes
- 10 oz goat cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil + more for garnish
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt + more to taste
- 1/3 cup chives snipped
- 1/3 c basil leaves + blossoms
- Thaw out the puff pastry according to the directions on the package.
- Preheat your own to 400"F
- To the bowl of a mini food processor add the goat cheese together with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of sea sat. Process until fluffy.
- Transfer the whipped goat cheese to a bowl and fold in the chives, reserving some for garnish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
- Sprinkle some flour on the kitchen counter and roll out the puff pastry. Use a rolling pin if needed to stretch it out thinner.
- Use a fork to poke holes all over the top surface of the puff pastry. Transfer it to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Cook the pastry in the preheated oven until puffed up and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes or so. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Assemble your tomato tart.
- Spread the chive and whipped goat cheese mixture on top of the cooled puff pastry.
- Slice the heirloom tomatoes into thin slices and place them on top pf the goat cheese.
- Sprinkle with the reserved chives and fresh basil.
- Finish with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a nice pinch of coarse sea salt over the tomatoes.
- Slice your tomato tart into squares and enjoy!

Timber Frame Moment Joints with Glued-In Steel Rods - A Designer s Perspective. Mark L Batchelar 1

1 Timber Frame Moment Joints with Glued-In Steel Rods - A Designer s Perspective Abstract: Mark L Batchelar 1 Significant evidence based on experimental research exists to give designers confidence in the use of theoretical equations to evaluate the pull-out strength of threaded steel rods glued into timber. However the mechanism of load transfer through a timber frame moment joint utilizing glued-in steel rods requires more than understanding simply the tension performance of a glued-in rod. This paper presents a method of evaluating joint strength for moment and axial forces based on traditional mechanics theory adapted for use with timber. It takes into consideration the effects of time dependant deformation in timber at bearing interfaces and considers also the effects of stress concentrations imposed by the steel rods on the timber. The approach provides a methodology for joint design that has been successfully used in many projects. 1.0 Introduction: Structural joint design in its simplest form involves unidirectional force transfers. A variety of traditional fastening methods employing dowel type, toothed plate or glued connections are appropriate. Epoxy grouted glass fibre rods or threaded/deformed steel bars are also available to the designer and are readily analysed using equations for pull out strength developed from laboratory based research programmes [1,2,3,4,5,9,10]. The challenge for design engineers comes in adapting the results of such research to practical use in joints which involve the transfer of forces from the primary members through the joint system. Consideration must be given to various combinations of the typical applied load components of moment, shear and axial force together with effects of time dependant deformation (creep). In addition the designer must be aware of the potential for strength reducing stress concentrations in the timber members at critical load transfer points. This paper looks at the application of the reinforced concrete analysis approach known as the transformed area method for the design of epoxy grouted steel rods in elastically designed frame moment joints. Compression reinforcing has not been considered in this discussion although it may be used in design if appropriate. 2.0 Joint Analysis - Traditional Mechanics Theory: The assumptions used are that plane sections remain plane and that the traditional elastic transformed area concept is applicable. Research on frame corners [6] lends support to the assumption of a linear stress distribution for the timber compression zone. From frame analysis joint loads are known and section size is most likely defined although this may require change to ensure joint strength requirements are met. Timber failure occurs predominantly in a brittle fashion so thought needs to be given to providing where possible connection components that have predictable yield patterns that limit the build up of potential brittle failure loads. If necessary steel hubs with significant post yield deformation (ductility) can be designed for seismic resistance but such systems are not included in this discussion. With reference to reinforced concrete beam technology a balanced design is when the allowable compressive and the allowable tensile stresses are reached in the section at the design load. Applying this theory to timber it is generally desirable to design a timber/steel rod joint as an under-reinforced section to ensure that steel 1 Principal Mark L. Batchelar Consulting Engineers N.Z. Volume 15 ISSUE 2 4 NZ TIMBER DESIGN JOURNAL
2 yields prior to the development of compression failure in the timber. Should limited timber compression failure occur it is however unlikely to lead to sudden brittle collapse. In the application of this method it is assumed that the choice of adhesive for securing the threaded or deformed steel rods into the timber will provide a strong bond with the timber and have a stiffness greater than that of the timber so that adhesive deformation can be ignored. Epoxy resin adhesives have demonstrated good performance in service and are considered appropriate as they exhibit stable properties under short and long term loads in varying humidity and at normal operating temperatures of below 50 o C [7,8]. Figure 1 shows a timber member cross-section of depth D and width b with tension only rod reinforcing a distance e from the bottom edge. The section has an applied moment M resisted by timber compression C and steel rod tension T. b fc kd C D d d-kd jd=d-kd/3 M e fs/n T n.as Figure 1 fc = timber compression stress fs = steel tensile stress modular ratio n = Esteel/Etimber e = rod edge distance C = 0.5 fc b kd T = As fs The neutral axis lies at the centroid of the transformed area. Taking moment of areas about the neutral axis gives a quadratic equation that is solved for kd. b (kd) 2 /2 = n.as (d-kd) Having determined kd, jd is known and the section moment capacity can be determined. T = C = M/jd The following simple numerical example illustrates the approach. Example: Applied Short Duration Ultimate Moment M*= 51.0 knm D = 630 mm b = 115 mm e = 65 mm d = 565 mm Volume 15 ISSUE 2 5 NZ TIMBER DESIGN JOURNAL
3 Timber properties: Characteristic tensile stress ft = 10 MPa compr. // fc = 24 MPa bending fb = 22 MPa Modulus of Elasticity Etimber = 10 GPa Capacity reduction factor Φ = 0.8 Rod properties: 16mm diameter Grade 8.8 Ultimate tensile stress fut = 800MPa Capacity reduction factor Φ = 0.8 Modulus of Elasticity Esteel = 200 GPa Modular ratio n = Esteel/ Etimber = 20 As (mm 2 ) = 156 n.as =3120 kd =150.1 jd = C = T = 99.0 kn fc = 14.4 MPa ( Φ fc =19.2 MPa ) fs = 637 MPa ( Φ fut = 640 MPa ) In frame knee joint design the timber compression bearing surface is often loaded perpendicular to the grain (Figure 2) and therefore an estimate of Etimber perpendicular to the grain (Eperp) is required to obtain an appropriate transformed section property. There is a degree of uncertainty about Eperp but if is expected to be about 1/15 to 1/20 of Eparallel. Securing nut & bearing plate frame rafter grain direction Figure Creep Deformation: An issue confronting designers is the effect that time dependant deformation (creep) in the timber will have on the distribution of forces within the joint. Creep in timber is typically allowed for by factoring up the expected permanent load displacements. This is in effect applying a reduction factor to the elastic modulus for long term loads. Applying this principal to joint design means an effective reduction in Etimber for long duration load which in turn reduces the lever arm jd and causes an adjustment to the calculated rod force. In practise the reduction in Etimber for long term effects is only critical when permanent loads are a significant proportion of the total applied load. Volume 15 ISSUE 2 6 NZ TIMBER DESIGN JOURNAL
4 In the above example if a permanent load duration factor of 0.6 is applied to material characteristic stresses and Etimber is reduced to 5.0 GPa to allow for creep effects, the maximum permanent load moment available is 31.5 knm. The magnitude of this moment is governed by the timber compression stress (0.6*Φ fc = 11.5 MPa). The corresponding rod tensile load is approximately 2/3 of the rod capacity. 4.0 Stress Concentrations: In structural detailing it is recognised that sharp changes in section property and/or forced changes in stress flow paths cause stress concentrations that can lead to premature failure. Experimental bending tests on jointed timber members [2,3,11] have demonstrated timber rupture initiating at the embedded end of the steel rod in the outer zone in the region of maximum timber bending stress. Assuming that full load transfer from an embedded rod into the timber is completed at the embedded end of the rod it is reasonable to assume that maximum stress in the timber cross-section is achieved at that point. Typically N.Z. plantation grown timber the characteristic strength in tension is in the order of 50% of the characteristic bending stress and therefore timber failure in this transition region at stress levels below the characteristic bending stress is highly probable. It is therefore the author s practice to identify a contributing cross-section of timber into which the rod force is transferred and to and limit the tensile stress in that section to the allowable timber tensile stress. For a single tension rod the area of timber in tension is taken as b.2e. For multiple layers of rods the timber tension block for each internal rod is taken as b.s where s is the rod spacing. For the case of more than one tension rod the tension block for the extreme rod would be checked for an area of b.(e+s/2). In the numerical example above the tension stress in the timber block is given by ft = T/(b.2e) = 99.0 x 10 3 /(115*130) = 6.6 MPa (<Φ ft = 8.0 MPa) With multiple tension rods the tension stresses in the timber can be controlled by choice of different rod diameters and rod tensile strength. Staggering rod embedment lengths in joints with multiple rods is considered prudent to avoid accumulation of stress concentrations. Limiting the stress in the timber to the timber characteristic tensile strength defines that the full bending strength capacity of a timber member cannot be developed using glued-in threaded steel rods. Designs using N.Z. plantation grown timber are generally governed by stiffness considerations rather than strength therefore this does not often present a problem. 5.0 Summary: Application of the above elastic transformed section approach for the design of glued-in threaded steel rods in moment joints has been successfully used by the author in projects for over 15 years. The approach illustrated is a very simple moment only example but in practice the method is expanded to include member axial tension and compression forces. The likely effects of timber creep deformation at bearing interfaces has been considered in the joint analysis and also limitations applied to timber stresses to counter the effects of stress concentrations imposed by the steel rods at termination points. The time dependant response of loaded timber bearing surfaces, particularly those surfaces loaded perpendicular to grain are matters that warrant further investigation. 6.0 Update:.01 Following presentation of this paper at the World Conference on Timber Engineering 2006, Portland USA, an experimental research programme on the long-term performance of epoxy-glued glulam connections has been commissioned at Canterbury University School of Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Massimo Volume 15 ISSUE 2 7 NZ TIMBER DESIGN JOURNAL

The purpose of the test programme is to better understand the force transfer mechanism within moment joints and to quantify the effects of long term loads on joint performance..02 A paper presented at the WCTE 2006 entitled Behavior of glulam in compression perpendicular to grain in different grades and load configurations [12] supports the expectation of Eperp between 1/15 to 1/20 of Eparallel for the perpendicular to grain compression bearing surface within a joint. 7.0 References: [1] Riberholt H., Glued Bolts in Glulam, International Council for Building Research Studies and Documentation Working Commission W18 Timber Structures Meeting 21, Vancouver, Canada, 1988 [2] Townsend P.K., Steel Dowels Epoxy Bonded in Glue Laminated Timber, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Res.

oooooooooooooo you are awful! But if those are meals you produce when distracted....my word!
My offer still stands. I'll declutter and clean your cupboards (declutter under the beds even) if you do the cooking. Does your family realise that you are Gold Medal standard? All this food looks so tasty ... and I still can't chew anything tougher than porridge or mashed potato. Sue, you're tormenting me. But I'll forgive you, given the lovely image of pentathletes in Mr Darcy shirts. They'd be good for the men's triathlon to, to be donned before the lake swim :D
ReplyDeleteAh! Mr Darcy! What can I say? Thank goodness you've put some delicious recipes in to distract me... that sun-dried tomato, basil and Brie spread sounds like just the thing for watching the Olympics - maybe with a glass of cooled rosé wine?
I love the beaded top on your bowl of mixed currants, it reminds me of my grandmother! Can you still find those?Naughty naughty! I have to laugh, the airwaves, emails, facebook and blogs are full of sly refernces to olympic (tight) clothing these days (not to mention people 'fessing up to having read 50 Shades, but let's not get into that!)
Well Sue there is nothing up there in your post that I would not be proud to serve up on my table (no I don't mean mr Darcy. Oh, I don't know though.......)....I LOVE Eton Mess and the tart currants in place of strawbs sounds divine. And the lamb pittas....mmmmmm a definite one to try. Thanks ..yet again...for some brill ideas.Hehehe...oh yes...you are so right and tickets would sell for £1000 each and Colin would give out the medals looking a little older, but just as yummy. I think you should write to the Olympic Committee, it's an idea of sheer genius!
ReplyDelete- Anonymous8:15 pm BST
Why would they need tight breeches? You obviously haven't looked what those cyclists are wearing - leaves nothing to the imagination!
