How early can a person be diagnosed with narcissism?
NPD cannot be diagnosed with any certainty prior to early adolescence (13-14). Narcissistic traits, a narcissistic style, and even a narcissistic personality can be evident earlier in life, though. Many old school shrinks hesitate to diagnose anyone with anything until they are 18 as that is when the personality is fully developed. Some wait until 21. If some one seems to have a disorder they like to say showing NPD characteristics. I believe that although the personality is not fully developed until 21, that is all the more reason to seek treatment for an adolescent that is showing narcissistic traits (or any disorder)

What is Narcissism?
It's when someone is obsessed/in love with themselves. It comes from a mythological character named Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection. Answer According to… American Dictionary it is "abnormal admiration of one's self." Answer it is vanity. or according to dictionary.com . Excessive love or admiration of oneself. See Synonyms at conceit. . A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem. . Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development. . The attribute of the human psyche charactized by admiration of oneself but within normal limits. I'm prone to think of narcissism in the Disorder sense, which, based on many accounts, is self-obsession. It doesn't always look like self-love. But they're in a continual quest to maintain a sense of being able to love themselves in the form of what he sees as 'ideal', which is his 'pretend' self. At first glance, any of these explanations don't make narcissism look like much of a big deal. The bigger deal is the process itself, which always will involve the making use of those around him to achieve that end. Narcissism describes the trait of excessive self-love, based on self-image or ego.
How would you find someone diagnosed with narcissism to appear in a television documentary in the UK?
Answer . I partially agree with the other poster with one exception ... find a narcissist that goes to ANY psychiatrist! That's the problem, they are so egotistical and s…o right that they refuse treatment.\n. \nMarcy\n. \n. \n. \nYou can put a website up, or, you could advertise in the paper. When you interview people be sure you have someone else with you for safety sake as you never know who you meet over the web or through the paper. Be prepared! Study the information of Narcissism before interviewing. Make up a questionnaire so you can have the participants answer these questions, get their telephone numbers and then after interviewing go over each questionnaire and decide from there.\n. \nGood luck\nMarcy. Answer . \nI would contact treating psychiatrists to refer a patient or other MH treaters the problem with putting an add in the paper is you cast too big a net and will have trouble screening. if you use a paper i would say people currently under veriafiable treatment for NPD needed for documentary - you will still get plenty of volunteers
Is there a correlation between adopted persons and narcissism?
Answer Yes! Narcissism is the result of inadequate, chaotic or inconsistent "mirroring" in early life. "Mirroring" means: the many times every day when a stable consistent …adult caregiver notices how a baby feels, cares for the baby, helps the baby and gives words for the baby's experience. When mirroring is absent, inconsistent or chaotic, the child does not learn how to know itself. The child's life becomes a constant effort to meet its own needs without regard to anything else. It is not their fault, yet their behavior is baffling, inconsistent and often painful or harmful to others. Adoption is ONE condition of many that can cause a disruption in the early mirroring process. There are other causes of this, but adoption is certainly one. An unending stream of nannies, emotional or physical parental absence (due to depression, drugs, deployment, etc) are others. Narcissists lack the capacity for self-reflection and empathy. It is a heart-wrenching condition and often more difficult for the family members that the narcissist.
What could be the early childhood cause of narcissism if the narcissist is a female?
permissive parents. 8/31/07 Narcissism, in both genders (although there are subtypes usually attributed to males), is essentially a psychological response to low self-esteem…. The narcissist develops a coping mechanism (like believing one's accomplishments are greater than they are and feeling entitled to respect and admiration) as a way of dealing with the pain of their own perceived worthlessness. So the real question, then, concerns possible early childhood causes of low self esteem. While some aspects of permissive parenting can be related, it is very common for self esteem issues to arise from some sort of emotional abuse, physical abuse or other trauma. Personality disorders, in general, are rather dramatic, subconscous, psychological responses to abuse or perceived abuse. Brenda Mayer Response This is a very intelligent answer given. I am wondering though that in abusive environments parents can also be overly permissive and smothering while at the same time neglecting or abusing the child in other ways. For instance a parent will mete out severe punishment for the slightest personal infraction yet provide no real discipline for the child. Social manners, completeing chores, homework, etc... I was roomates once with a diagnosed NPD female. I was under the impression her mother was too close to her allowing too many things to pass yet not really there for her to learn right from wrong. I remember she was very upset once because her mother suspected her of lying "yet again". It was a trivial matter but she seemed more upset at having been reminded she was a liar rather the fact she had done something wrong. She would allways get these guys and people she considered to be inferior to surround her and be "best buds" while she complained and moaned about their ineptness behind their backs. I kept my guard around her but she found a way to stab me in the back and lef t me like an empty carcass. A few months later she hovered around me again and wanted me to be her new roomate because she was tired of being alone and no one at work wanted anyting to do with her etc... . I told her I was fine where i was. She left the room and burst into tears. I think sometimes when a close parent is overly permissive and "good" to the child that the child secretly resents not being taught right from wrong and looses sense of who he/she is. ....or maybe the mother feels guilty from some past sin and tries to make it up to the child. The child in turn must sense some kind of unatural omnipotence.
How easy is it for a clinical psychologist to diagnose narcissism if he administers personality tests including an MMPI?
Answer . pretty easy.
Is there a future with a person with narcissism disorder?
Answer . There seldom is any future with a narcissist because the know all, are smarter than everyone else, can be brash, rude and unfriendly to certain people. It's a goo…d idea to go on www.google.com and type in: What is a Narcissist?. This way you will not have labeled the person unfairly and unless a psychiatrist/psychologist has deemed this person a narcissist then they may just be picky or have other character flaws.. Whatever the flaws if you feel this person is far too complicated, doesn't treat you or others well, is always argumentative, then keep going! Life is too short.. Narcissistic people seldom go for counseling because they believe they are smart, right about everything and everyone else is ignorant and 'doesn't understand them.'
If you are diagnosed with bipolar but have a lot of symptoms for narcissism behavior how do you know one from the other?
The accepted rule of thumb would be to get a specific diagnoses from a professional. However bear in mind this could take decades to accomplish. Narcissists are notorious for …evading a proper diagnoses and have fooled many a profesional into beleiving its their spouse that has the problem not them. You would be in too deep to do anything about it by the time she is diagnosed.
How do you get to a narcissism person?
Survival Tips 1. Arguments, you have 2 choices A) Agree with what they say and avoid a nasty confrontation or B) Disagree , have a nasty confrontation Many people will sugg…est you choose A, however I urge you to choose B. By choosing B it might be upsetting but you are standing up for your rights and putting boundaries up which are important to have around these people. Calmly and assertively say " I disagree ". The narcissist will not like it but he will respect it none the less. They respect strength as they are cowards. If you want to hang around these people, or you have to, be prepared for conflicts. You must stand up for your rights at the beginning. It's easier than at the end when you're wrapped around his finger. 2. Another powerful tool during an argument or confrontation is inaction. If someone demands that you respond to something we usually do, but you dont have to. Silence is powerful. I'm not talking about the silent treatment. More like you don't have to answer every question they ask you. They don't own you, remind them. 3. When rejecting them, dont be cruel and mean, even though they were to you. Simply drift apart slowly, eventually they will catch on and try desperately to reject you first, lol. This delusion is good for them and you!!! Dont remind them that you rejected them. They don't like rejection, and they don't handle it very well. 4. If you feel the need to get revenge, which you probably will, remind yourself that the narcissist is his own worst enemy and he is far more miserable than you are! He is wearing a mask that is hiding an abandoned child, sad and lonely, a rejected child, and of course a monstrous insecurity. H e doesn't want you to realize who he really is, simply because he does not want to be rejected. The narcissist is continually rejected which reinforces the idea that something is wrong with him. 5. The narcissists true identity is well hidden in his lies and manipulation. However there is one H u G e give away. This giveaway is the insecurity. When people are insecure it shows, a. can you see it in his eyes and facial expressions b. does he make fun of other people all the time c. does he talk bad about everyone d. do you feel insecure around him e. does being wrong cause a nasty reaction to the narcissist f. does he belittle you g. does he make you feel good and bad, does he build you up and then rip you apart h. is his smile too strong, too exagerrated. Do his emotions change quickly 6. My last tip. If he does make you feel pathetic, insecure, or inferior, don't let him know; just laugh it off. In fact you should joke about yourself afterwards. Show him you were not hurt. This is expressing strength. No one should be ashamed of not living up to the expectations of the narcissist. He can't even live up to his own. Next time you make a mistake that you know the narcissist would have torn you to pieces for, remember that no one else would have. Its just him.
Can you live happily with a female with Narcissism Personality Disorder?
NO. Narcissists, male & female, destroy & ruin everything around them eventually.
How will a 4 year old be treated by a psychiatrist when her father is diagnosed with narcissism?
Just that. However if she grows up in that enviroment, besides the emotional abuse she'll inevitably be exposed to, she may "pick up" some not so lovely narcissist traits.
Can a person with narcissism change?
No, definitely not. N. is the Great Pretender. So even if you feel he/she is changing - it is only a new show , a new game, a new face he /she shows you. N. Cannot change, bec…ause in his opinion there is nothing wrong with him. Others are bad, insane and guilty.... he is perfect.

In Diabetes
Why is it important to diagnose diabetes early?
If left untreated, it will result in progressive vascular disease that may damage the blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, heart, and other organs.
In Narcissism
Why people are attracted to a person with narcissism?
Opinion Well, when you first meet a narcisstic person they are so nice, charming, kind, complimentary you are totally drawn to that person. You think , OMG, I really like t…his person and they are so different. All will stay like this until they con you a little more and have you in their clutches and under their thumb and totally are in control of you and your life and then WHAM!!! they take it all away. I would say it is a conquer and destroy situation with these kind of whatever they are so you would be smart to stay clear and find someone who is classified as real and human. Opinion In most cases, the narcissist is extremely adept at choosing needy people to whom they can attach themselves. Often, the victim also has some issues that make them vulnerable to the ploys utilized by a narcissist. Many victims continue to be a victim even after the mistreatment begins. This is evidenced by the many people asking how to get over a narcissist, how to stop loving a narcissist, how to get them back, etc. If they were mentally healthy and rational, they would recognize their misfortune of being won over by a pretender and be thankful they got out of the relationship.
In Gonorrhea
What is an early stage to be diagnosed with gonorrhea?
Burning when urine

What is the difference between personality disorder and narcissism?
A person who has a personality disorder will have troublecommunicating or expressing their feelings with other people. A narcissist on the other hand is a person who thinks t…hat they arebetter than everyone else. Like a sort of enhanced arrogance.

Part V - How The Argonauts Were Driven Into The Unknown Sea
|Page 3 of 15
And at last Ancaios shouted, 'Endure a little while, brave friends, the worst is surely past; for I can see the pure west wind ruffle the water, and hear the roar of ocean on the sands. So raise up the mast, and set the sail, and face what comes like men.'
Then out spoke the magic bough, 'Ah, would that I had perished long ago, and been whelmed by the dread blue rocks, beneath the fierce swell of the Euxine! Better so, than to wander for ever, disgraced by the guilt of my princes; for the blood of Absyrtus still tracks me, and woe follows hard upon woe. And now some dark horror will clutch me, if I come near the Isle of Ierne. [6] Unless you will cling to the land, and sail southward and southward for ever, I shall wander beyond the Atlantic, to the ocean which has no shore.'
Then they blest the magic bough, and sailed southward along the land. But ere they could pass Ierne, the land of mists and storms, the wild wind came down, dark and roaring, and caught the sail, and strained the ropes. And away they drove twelve nights, on the wide wild western sea, through the foam, and over the rollers, while they saw neither sun nor stars. And they cried again, 'We shall perish, for we know not where we are. We are lost in the dreary damp darkness, and cannot tell north from south.'
But Lynceus the long-sighted called gaily from the bows, 'Take heart again, brave sailors; for I see a pine-clad isle, and the halls of the kind Earth-mother, with a crown of clouds around them.'
But Orpheus said, 'Turn from them, for no living man can land there: there is no harbour on the coast, but steep-walled cliffs all round.'
So Ancaios turned the ship away; and for three days more they sailed on, till they came to Aiaia, Circe's home, and the fairy island of the West. [7]
And there Jason bid them land, and seek about for any sign of living man. And as they went inland Circe met them, coming down toward the ship; and they trembled when they saw her, for her hair, and face, and robes shone like flame.
And she came and looked at Medeia; and Medeia hid her face beneath her veil.
And Circe cried, 'Ah, wretched girl, have you forgotten all your sins, that you come hither to my island, where the flowers bloom all the year round? Where is your aged father, and the brother whom you killed? Little do I expect you to return in safety with these strangers whom you love. I will send you food and wine: but your ship must not stay here, for it is foul with sin, and foul with sin its crew.'

In the state of
, someone who owns a dog is responsible for keeping it on a leash any time it is in public. When people neglect to leash their dogs, or if they allow an aggressive dog to be around visitors without restraint, accidents can happen.
Dennis H. Boothe
Attorney at Law
understands that a dog bite is much more than a physical injury. It could mean lost wages or other problems due to recovery time.
California law does not have a "one bite" rule. This means the owner is responsible for the dog's actions even if it has never shown aggression before. If you have been the victim of a dog attack, we may be able to work as your dog bite attorney in Southern California to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Common Injuries Suffered During Attacks
Whether it's a vicious dog or one that has never shown signs of aggression before, dog bites leave a lasting impression on your psyche as much as they do your physical body. Physically, a bite leaves a puncture wound that, even if it does not look bad, should be checked at the emergency room in case it is very deep. You will probably also need vaccinations, especially if the dog was not current on its own. Without treatment, the wound could become infected and lead to a range of other problems. In some cases, scarring is prominent and permanent. Beyond the physical, many people who suffer dog bites become fearful of all dogs, suffering anxiety attacks and other symptoms of PTSD when they come in contact with one. A dog attack changes a person's life for years in some cases.

If you like carrot cake, you'll absolutely love this tray bake! This would be the ideal cake to make this season to use up the leftover pumpkin insides after carving. It has the perfect amount of spice and just a dash of orange for a hint of citrus. It'll please even the most avid of pumpkin haters, and its orange and cream cheese frosting will have people coming back for more. Give it a go!
- 300g self-raising flour
- 300g light muscovado sugar
- 3 teaspoons mixed spice
- 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
- 175g sultanas
- half teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 285g unsalted butter
- zest of 2 oranges
- juice of 2 oranges
- 500g (peeled weight) pumpkin flesh, grated
- 200g soft cheese
- 100g icing sugar, sifted
- Preheat your oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas mark 4. Grease and line a 30 x 20cm baking tin or a small roasting tin with baking parchment.
- Put the flour, sugar, spice, bicarbonate of soda, sultanas and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, melt 200g of the butter and beat with the eggs. Stir in the zest of one orange and a tablespoon of juice into the butter mixture, then mix with the dry ingredients until combined. Stir in the pumpkin, then pour the batter into the tin and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch.
- To make the frosting beat together the remaining 85g of butter, soft cheese, icing sugar, the zest of one orange and three tablespoons of juice until smooth and creamy. If it is too thin, add more icing sugar until thick enough. Set it aside in the fridge.
- When the cake is done, allow it to cool for 5 minutes then turn it on to a cooling rack. Prick it all over with a skewer and drizzle with the rest of the orange juice while still warm. Leave to cool completely.
- If you like, you can trim the edges of the cake to give it a neater look. Give the frosting a quick beat to loosen it up, then spread over the top of the cake using a palette knife or the back of a tablespoon. You can make it a smooth cover, or you can whip into peaks and swirls. Decorate with orange zest or Halloween sprinkles. It will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.
How delicious does that sound?! It would be great with a cup of tea or a steaming mug of hot chocolate on a chilly night. If you're looking for a great way to recycle your pumpkin flesh, this would be the perfect choice.

Hellboy comics, but I did enjoy the movies.
I am also enjoying this cartoon, the first of two. in it Hellboy goes to Japan and fights a wide variety of Japanese spooks and such things while trying to stop the demons of Thunder and Lightning from being reborn.
it's a lot of fun. impressive to see so many yokai in the cartoon, and so accurately portrayed. it makes me want to watch two of the Yokai Monsters movies now.
it's also quite funny. the voice cast is about the same as the movie cast. I recommend it.

Introducing some of the musical instruments . . .
"One good thing about music: when it hits you, you feel no pain."
Bob Marley
easy to play, pass it around, have fun
three sizes of frog for different sounds
play high notes that ring out like bells
shake them in time to the rhythm
play with fingers, thumbs, hands
feel the beads, turn in your hand or shake
click between fingers
play together, short high-pitched sound
play tunes on one hand, chords on the other, with bellows between to make the sound
combining two instruments in one, play high or low, long or short
play with fingers and palms, make lively rhythms
like a small aluminium djembe: play with fingers
jingle and shake
play the bowl like a bell to feel and hear the vibration
play the drum with sticks or brushes
beat a rhythm on the hand drum
sound like a bird on the whistles
chords and melodies on stringed instruments. . .

Let's go to the races!
Corbin, Blane, and Gage on the ride to race...
Gage, Corbin, Dakota, and Blane
Corbin and Daddy
Gage and Daddy-Mr Gage loves his motorcycles!
Big Boy Dakota all by himself!!
This weekend was a busy one! Michael had flattrack races in Waco. Before the races, we went to the hotel and went swimming and the boys' cousins, Dakota and Blane, came to swim with us and watch Michael race. The boys..all four of them..had a blast, and I found out that I'm finished having children...because if I attempted for my little girl..I would be blessed with boys. Even though they were great all weekend, it was a lot of work for me and Sheryl to keep up with them. Anyway, the day after the races, the boys all got their chance to ride the motorcycles for a little bit. All the boys loved riding! We may have some more races WAY in the future to go to!

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
One of first mall outings together...
First trip to the zoo together...they fell asleep at exact same time!
First swimming pool outing together...
Just today! Watch out girls!
Corbin and Carson were destined to be best buds for life. They were born only 4 days apart, and they always have the greatest time when they get together....
Carson's mommy, Erica, and I met in the 6th grade and have remained friends ever since. We even said that we would have babies at the same time and live on the same street. Although the same street never happened, we did have babies together and just seeing how close are babies are now can bring tears to your eyes! It's the neatest thing! They have such a good friendship, I can only hope that they will continue it for years to come!

Tell all your friends!
While I'm sitting here taking my drivers safety course...I decided I would show everyone the signs I made for my 3 favorite teachers! Tell all your friends!! I'm going to be selling them for $15 a piece. I will of course custom create each one however they want it, whether it be incorporating school colors and mascot, or just one for a childs bedroom! :)
Please tell all your friends and family! I would greatly appreciate it!

Batman is such a big deal these days...I'm guessing because of the movie. Corbin saw his friend, Carson with batman on another blog, so they both just had to get in their Batman pj's tonight and fly around the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and even bathrooms. I snapped a couple pics and then realized that my camera is a piece of junk and I'm in desperate need of a new one. Christmas is not too far away!! :)

here are more pics from our big beach vacation. The boys had so much fun!! I especially love the pic of Sheryl and Shawn cleaning the fish. For anyone who doesn't know my brother-in-law, he LOVES to fish, and I think he may need counseling. As for the other pics, the boys had a ball and I just realized that my concealer doesn't match my new tan anymore!! Seth also loves the harmonica! Corbin also has a new love of pirates!

Lincoln Vance Corpian
My very special little man came to visit after we got home from our trip. Of course I think he's grown in the last week and he's such a little spot of sunshine. He smiles and has become the best little laid-back baby. I seriously could not stop kissing his little beaner head! :) He can make me smile even when the day has been not worth smiling about. I was tired from our long and nerve-wracking drive home (thanks boys) and then Lincoln came over and brightened me up...
I'm a little worn down and burnt, but I love this picture of me and my nephew!!

We're Back!!
Galveston was a very big adventure! The ride was 6 hours long on the way there and the boys were perfect little angels. The ferry, which I hope to never have to deal with again, was super slow, but when we finally arrived, the boys were so excited!! We had to ride the ferry to get to Crystal Beach, where our cabin was. We spent the day at the beach the first couple days. Gage was a little iffy around the waves, but Corbin didn't seem to mind them. On Thursday, Corbin got to spend the day with mommy, Mimi, Aunt Sarah and Seth while Gage stayed back at the cabin. We went into town (Galveston) and hit up a couple souvienior shops and went to RainForest Cafe for lunch. Corbin was a little nervous with all of the animal movement, but the mini hot dogs won his affection of the place! Friday was another day at the beach and a lot of golf cart riding. Daddy rented a golf cart and it was a huge hit with everyone...including mommy! We rode around the beach, played in the water, and then went to dinner with the WHOLE extended family. It was a ton of fun. Saturday morning we packed up and headed home. There were a tad too many people in one cabin, but overall the trip was a blast and we're already looking forward to next time!! Pics of the trip on my camera was horrible. I'll post more in a couple days from Aunt Sarah's camera!

We had a very special visitor today! Since gammy was over helping me corral the boys since Michael was racing, Joey and Michelle brought little Linc-a-doo over for a visit! He's such a precious little angel and today was the first time we got a picture of the three cousins together, and of course my camera is junk so it took a horrible picture. I really need to get a better camera. Lincoln is growing up so quickly. He hasn't laughed yet, but he's on the verge...and he's a big talker! The boys love him to death and feel so big when they get to hold babies! We love you Lincoln! XOXOX

Okay, good thing about brothers is they get to play together and share things and be real close friends throughout their lives. Bad thing about brothers is that they copy each other...for example, if one wants to play in the mud...the other will follow...

Okay, so I have no clue how to start one of these things so I'll just start with how crazy the last four years have been...and it's all because of these two little boys! People always said the first few years would fly, and I never thought that was true...especially after the first four months with a newborn! Tonight while at the part, Michael and I couldn't believe how big both the boys are!! Gage is going to be 2 next month and he's already fiercely independent. It's even harder to believe that Corbin is going to be 4 and in school soon. I completely dread that day. Part of me is upset that his 5 year birthday misses the deadline for starting school, because he's way smart enough...but the other part is happy that I get one more year of mommy and me time. Corbin is our inquisitive child and Gagey is our wild child..or as Uncle Joey would call him....the "terror."
Anyway, here goes our blog...wish me luck...I think that it will get better with time!!! If anything, this will be something the boys can look back on.

Life has been particularly busy over the last couple of weeks and the usual stresses have been compounded by the lack of a living room (leaving the rest of the house in a state) and the bad weather preventing us from letting the kids burn off some energy in the back garden. I had looked forward to a many summer evening meals on the beautifully decked terrace or a BBQ or two but I think we have eaten out there twice this year. We braved a BBQ about 3 weeks ago but I had to put up a gazebo and in the end I was the only one outside the house passing assorted beautifully cooked meats into the house where everyone else stayed dry.
I think the cycle commuting makes me more sensitive to poor weather and although I have not been absolutely soaked over the last couple of months it seems to have rained on 4 out of 5 days and we have had no sustained period of sunshine and good weather to allow weekend trips to be planned. In desperation we went to the Lytham St Annes a couple of weeks ago because it was quite sunny at 8am in the morning. By 9am, as we joined the M61, it had completely clouded over then we had spits of rain as soon as we started walking along the promanade before it finally poured down over lunch.
So crap weather, a software release which dragged way past its intended release date at work and prolonged decoratings disturbance have got me down a bit – and I thought I was doing well just recently. I took Maria to see my Grandma last weekend and she has been feeling a little sorry for herself over recent times. She used to be quite feisty and a bit of a handful but despite relative good heath she has not been on top form over the last few months. It turns out she has missed a couple of iron/vitamin B12 injections and a nurse at the home where she is currently staying was telling me that a lack of B12 can lead to depression and lethagy. I have not been bouncing out of bed recently and although my diet is probably better than the average I probably don't get everything I need. On Monday lunchtime I bought a bag of apples, a bag of dried apricots (just 3 of them gives you 1 of your 5 a day) and some Sainsbury's own multi-vitamins to suppliment my diet. The pharmcist there actually talked me out of buying the Vitamin B complex that was recommended to me by the nurse. I feel better already although it has to be said that our software release finally went out this week, I have a long weekend (5 days) to get on top of DIY and other stuff and I've already shared a bottle and a half of assorted wines this evening (well I'm on holiday aren't I?)

Summerland and Carpinteria had relatively minor flooding and damage from Tuesday's storm that devastated Montecito, but the communities have become isolated by communications outages and major road closures.
"Carpinteria has become an island, if you will," said Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Chief Ray Navarro.
Highway 101 remains closed between Santa Barbara and Carpinteria indefinitely, and side roads are also blocked by storm debris.
During the storm, county Emergency Medical Services set up a casualty collection point at the Carpinteria Veterans Memorial Building to take care of patients on the eastern end of Montecito, Navarro said.
There was flooding at Arroyo Paredon, and creek waters flowed over Highway 101 in multiple places, he said.
Two people were rescued out of a creek and several others were rescued out of vehicles.
From the Veterans Hall, anyone needing hospitalization would have been taken to Ventura since Santa Barbara was inaccessible, he said.
The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District is part of the emergency response for Montecito, handling search and rescue efforts within its own fire district, Navarro said.
"Operations (Thursday) were secondary search and rescue with task force teams," he said.
They searched in upper Toro Canyon, above the 800 block, on Thursday, where there is thick debris due to mudslides, he added.
"Carpinteria almost became its own little entity. Summerland and Carpinteria were taking care of itself, so to speak," Navarro said.
Flooding damage was relatively minor in those areas compared to Montecito, but they are feeling the impacts of utility outages.
Cox Communications outages mean no internet, phone or cable service for their customers in Carpinteria and Summerland, which is hard for people wanting news of the disaster, Navarro said.
"There are people in hotels who evacuated or can't get back, and they don't know what's going on unless they have a cellular connection."
The Urban Hikers, Peter Hartmann and Stacey Wright, made their way to Summerland Thursday to see the impacts in person and report back.
There was very little damage to the community, they noted.
"There is, however, a sense of unease and impending peril to many of the residents of Summerland," they reported.
"Like Montecito and Carpinteria, those stranded in Summerland have no internet service. They have relied upon spotty cell service on their phones to keep them connected to family, friends and news updates."
Summerland residents, in particular, feel neglected in post-storm news coverage and are physically blocked in by road closures.
As of Thursday, Summerland residents could get south to Carpinteria by taking Calle Real, Nidever and Foothill roads.
Highway 101 is still closed for debris removal, and Calle Real was as well, east of Nidever Road, the Urban Hikers reported.
Since Amtrak resumed passenger rail service, Summerland-area residents can get access via train to Santa Barbara and Ventura, via the Carpinteria stop.
The Montecito Water District has major storm damage to its water distribution system, and Summerland, which is served by the district, has been conserving water in the hopes of making the Ortega Ridge Reservoir supplies last.
The South Coast Conduit, which supplies the reservoir from Lake Cachuma, was offline Tuesday to Thursday because of the storm, but appears to be undamaged and is operating again.
That wasn't the case earlier Thursday, and worried residents waited for hours at the Summerland Post Office for a potable water delivery from the county Public Works Department.
"Fliers posted at the Summerland Fire Department announced today's water delivery, which was scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
Residents began to congregate at the delivery site well before 1 p.m. After a delay of two hours, the water arrived at the Post Office at 3:30, and residents helped unload it and lined up to receive the much needed water," the Urban Hikers reported.
The Carpinteria Albertsons and Smart and Final stores were "stocked pretty well" as of Thursday, but supplies can't get much north of there, Navarro said.
"What I think is really hurting is our businesses," including day-trip tourism, he said.
"Summerland is like a ghost town, nobody can really open, there's nobody there."
Cellular service was spotty but fairly reliable this week, Navarro said, and he advises residents to use their smart phones to get information, including from the Santa Barbara County incident page and the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Facebook page.

"The issue we still have, the big concern, is the next rain," Navarro said.
"If the next rain comes, any one of the 17 (burned) canyons, and there are six in our area, can let loose, and we're concerned. We're not standing down."
The Thomas Fire burned a huge amount of watershed areas in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, and the effects will be felt for years.
"This is the first year. We're looking at two to three years of similar concern whenever we have rain," Navarro said.
The Urban Hikers contributed to this story.

In an age of ubiquitous viral photos and videos, 2015 is the veritable heyday of self-promotion.
Generation Y has become so adept at personal marketing — managing their personal brands everywhere from Twitter and Facebook to Instagram and YouTube — that they have turned the field into a form of entertainment and even surpassed small businesses in their ability to create a personal brand.
Despite brands' ability to connect directly with consumers on Twitter or other social media platforms, only 22% of companies see the value of creating a personality for their brand marketing.

EC backs accessible tourism
"Numerous studies have shown that disabled people are excluded from traveling and enjoying a holiday - at home or abroad - by a lack of suitable facilities. Economic barriers are not the biggest factor keeping people at home, and the market potential is enormous, when you consider that there are 50 million disabled people and their families in Europe. Added to this, destinations with good physical access and services are a boon to hundreds of millions of oldertravelerss who may have health and mobility problems associated withagingg. As populations both in Europe and globally are ageing rapidly, it is only common sense to make tourism accessible for all." -- Ivor Ambrose, Coordinator of the partnership behind European Network for Accessible Tourism.
That's the issue in a nutshell isn't it. The European Commission is fostering the European Network for Accessible Tourism, which is seen as a private public partnership. Look for ambitious things from them as they set out the goal of increasing accessible tourism in the EU.

« Cartoons vs. Human Beings | Main | Tipping Point: Dennis Miller Decides "I Don't Like Obama, Because He Doesn't Like Me and 50% of the Country" »
September 16, 2011
Today In Rick Perry News: Bad Polling News, "The Big Hoss" And An Op-Ed On The US And Israel
Technically the bad polling news is from yesterday but it's not good. Noted leftwing hack, er, Scott Rasmussen shows Perry trailing Obama.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Obama picking up 46% of the vote, while Perry earns support from 39%. Fifteen percent (15%) are either undecided or prefer another candidate. Two weeks ago, Perry was up by three. Three weeks ago, the president held a three-point edge over the governor. (To see question wording, click here.)
Perry polling worse than "Generic Republican"? People want to vote for someone other than Obama but it can't be someone who freaks them out. I'm worried Perry might, might, be doing that.
It's September '11 not '12 or even January of '12 so this isn't panic, it's...noteworthy. The big thing is the decline in support coinciding with Mitt's Social Security attacks. Look, I don't like them either but like baseball, there's no crying in politics. What Mitt's doing is no different than what Obama will if he gets the chance.
As Ace talked about yesterday, I'm in the 'deal not closed' camp when it comes to Perry. I want to like him, want to support him full bore but he has to do better. Yes, he gives a good speech but we've seen that movie before. No, he's not Obama but he's got show it. I hear a lot of people tell me how great Perry is and I'm ready to believe it but...I have to see it for myself.
The so-called "debates" aren't a great forum but it's all we have. If he can't put away Romney and Bachmann...then I have concerns. I'd really like to see him in some other settings like a town hall and something like the SC event Jim DeMint hosted. I want to see him pushed not to deliver a comeback but to explain his positions a level or two deep when challenged. I want to know he's got enough wonk in him to get the job done and not just skate by on his lareger than life persona.
But to become president of the United States, hell have to reach persuadables who dont value outrageousness for its own sake. If hes never willing to back down, hell have to go should he win the nomination all the way to November 2012 defending the notion that Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is possibly guilty of treason. On Social Security, hes managed to take what turns out to be his thoroughly conventional Republican view that the program should stay the same for seniors and near-retirees while its reformed for younger people and make it radioactive through his choice of words and his theoretical musings. His campaign so far has no policy except generalized statements celebrating Texas and condemning the federal government.
And finally Perry has an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on the US-Israeli relationship and dealing with the Palestinians.
Errors by the Obama administration have encouraged the Palestinians to take backward steps away from peace. It was a mistake to call for an Israeli construction freeze, including in Jerusalem, as an unprecedented precondition for talks. Indeed, the Palestinian leadership had been negotiating with Israel for years, notwithstanding settlement activity. When the Obama administration demanded a settlement freeze, it led to a freeze in Palestinian negotiations. It was a mistake to agree to the Palestinians' demand for indirect negotiations conducted through the U.S., and it was an even greater mistake for President Obama to distance himself from Israel and seek engagement with the hostile regimes in Syria and Iran.
Standard fare for a GOP candidate not named Ron Paul and certainly an improvement over the current administration.
Some might say this is an example of his policy chops that I'm concerned about. Yes, it shows his general approach to an issue but the real question isn't how he (or frankly, like any candidate, his staff) write a piece, it's how can they articulate it and defend it live, without any notes, when challenged.
Perry might have it in him, God I hope he does because I won't vote for Romney in a primary, but seeing will be believing.

Essentially a complete teacher's manual for the book, this LitPlan Teacher Pack includes lesson plans and reproducible resource materials for the book Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. It includes: 18 Daily Lessons Short answer study questions Multiple choice quiz questions Vocabulary worksheets for each reading assignment 3 detailed writing assignments Individual and group activities Critical thinking discussion questions 5 unit tests (2 short answer, 2 multiple choice, 1 advanced short answer) Evaluation forms Review puzzles & games Bulletin board ideas Reproducible student materials And more! A Note About A Few Of The Many Different Assignments Included: There are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading, or expressing personal opinions. The detailed writing assignment sheets guide students through the assignments. In the first assignment, students write to inform. They write a "filler" for the newspaper. In the second assignment, students write to persuade Leo to accept Stargirl OR persuade Stargirl to find a better way to fit in with the group OR persuade you that Leo and Stargirl acted appropriately in the book and wouldn't need to be persuaded to do anything differently. The third writing assignment gives students the opportunity to do some creative writing by writing the plot summary for a sequel to the novel Stargirl. Students are assigned to do a project with this unit. Students are members of the Sunflower Club, a club of students who pledges to do something nice each day for someone other than themselves. Students will try to keep this pledge and keep a list of what they did each day. After about two weeks, students will share their experiences with the class. These materials are geared for whole class use but are very easily adapted for independent study work, lit circles or book groups, home school use, or tutoring. If you have never taught this book before, this manual will give you a great foundation of materials on a variety of levels. If you have taught this book before, you might like to know that many veteran teachers have told us they have found our LitPlan Teacher Pack manuals to be much more thorough and more helpful than other materials they have used.

After having 4 days off with a bad cold I completed week 4 run 1 this evening. My knees felts as though they had aged 20 years since my last run and it took me till the second 3 minute run to start to get into the groove.
I have been quite apprehensive about running for 5 minutes, but although shattered and running at a snails pace, i didn't feel like I was on my last legs at the end.....I know I can run further.
It was nice to do more running than walking today...I always seem to see people that I know when I'm on the walking sections, looking like a lazy bum rather than a 'runner'!
I am starting to feel a few little niggles now however with twinges in my right knee and ankle once I start the cool down walk...I'm hoping this is just caused by the cross over from running to walking?
Roll on run two! Hopefully a bit quicker than today!

A curious thing has happened with Kevin Rose's new startup Pownce: the Digg users really hate it. For a service whose success will rely on the founder's credentials and referring traffic over from the popular news site, that's a little worrying.+
Mashable writer Stan was one of the first to review Pownce in depth (it's invite only), and, despite wanting to loathe the service and write off Digg as a lucky break, he wrote an extremely positive review. Others who bothered to test the service – like Allen Stern and Rafe Needleman – also had only good things to say despite wanting to hate the service initially. Conceptually, at least, it seemed like a pointless idea, but the flawless execution convinced testers otherwise.
Our review made its way to Digg, where Pownce was met with endless negativity. Supportive comments were quickly buried. Rose was widely derided. Anyone who liked the site was a fanboy, and probably engaged in some kind of sexual relationship with Rose, said angry Digg users (ok, I'm paraphrasing). The key factor: none of those commenters had actually tested the service.
At the moment, one of the most popular stories on Digg is entitled: "Kevin Rose & Pownce Get Pwned by Uncov", in which potshots are taken at Rose and Pownce. Further insults are piled on by the Diggers. If this distaste is directed at Pownce itself, then it'll simply mean that the site has trouble getting traction. But if it's aimed at Rose, it might be troublesome for Digg as its userbase aligns against its management.
It's hard to say where this movement emerged from: did Rose become too big for his boots, and now Diggers want to pull him back down? Did the invite-only system make Digg users feel out of the loop? Did this start with the HD-DVD key controversy, in which Diggers learned they could pretty much do whatever they wanted, and escalate with the introduction of an unpopular new comments system? Did it begin as early as the overhyped BusinessWeek cover in which Rose was said to be worth $60 million? Or perhaps there's no real movement against Pownce, and it's simply the case that the detractors are more vocal than the supporters? I don't have any answers; just questions.

User Home Page Genealogy Report: Descendants of William Douglas Webb
Descendants of William Douglas Webb
2.JACOB DOUGLAS5 WEBB (WILLIAM DOUGLAS4, JACOB WEBB32, WILLIAM WEBB21, JACOB WEBB1) was born July 21, 1861 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and died August 07, 1949 in Hodges, Alabama.He married (1) NANCY LUE HUGHEY Unknown in possibly Hamilton, Alabama, daughter of G. HUGHEY and MARGARET.He married (2) VIOLA LARRENCE (OR VIOLET LAWRENCE) Unknown in Possibly Hodges, Alabama.
Notes for JACOB DOUGLAS WEBB:
Jacob Webb (Jake) had red hair. He was supposedly very tall, about 6'4" - all the Webbs were tall - but after Jacob married Nannie (Nancy) Hughey, from Spartanburg, South Carolina, all the Webbs from that line were short. In 1878,Jacob and his brothers, Melvin and Lindsey, left Tuscaloosa County and moved to Marion County, Alabama. Jake settled near Hodges, near Highway 19. They left their sister Julie in Tuscaloosa with her husband. Jake was a successful merchant, owned cotton gins. He was treated with great deference and respect by the family. I went to Jake's funeral in 1949, in Alabama. He is buried in Holly Spirngs cemetary, in Hodges.
According to family oral historian, Albert Jr., Jacob Webb was very bright. In addition to his cotton gins, he owned a sawmill and several farms. He was also used by the local people as an unoffictial judge to settle disputes because of his intelligence and calming abilities. He was called "The Peacemaker."
Jacob and Melvin were very, very close and spent a great deal of time together.
Jacob had a second wife, Viola (or Violet) Lawrence (or Larrence). She was born March 3, 1868, died Dec. 27, in Holly Springs (Hodges, Alabama.) With Viola, Jacob had 4 more children:
1. Paul Webb, born Feb. 27, 1920, died Dec. 11, 1966, buried in Davis Cemetary, Franklin County, Alabama, near Hodges. Paul married Bessie Davis. Paul hadJunior Webb, born July 17, 1924, died Aug. 8, 1956. He's buried in Davis Cemetary, Franklin County, near Hodges. And Paul had Oval Webb, born Dec. 18, 1921, died July 30, 1980, buried in Daavis Cemetary, Franklin County, near Hodges. And Paul had Joyce Webb, born march 7, 1931, died Oct. 18, 1992, buried in Hamilton, Alabama, City Cemetary.
2. Rosa Webb, born July 28, 1904, died July 4, 1988 in Columbia, Missouri (this might have been the relative that Verla Osborn stayed with after having surgery in Columbia, Missouri). Rosa married Fred Overton, had Hardy, charles, Jack, and Wayne.
3. Cora Alice Webb, born Oct. 23, 1909, died March 23, 1987, buried in Old Lion Cemetary, near Hodges, Alabama. She married Henley Lawler, had Virginia Rose, and Corky.
4. Maude Webb, born August 5, 1907, died June 21, 1963, in Marion County, Alabama, buried in Shottsville, Cemetary. She married Woddie Shotts, had Colleen.
Notes for NANCY LUE HUGHEY:
Nancy Hughey's nickname was "Nannie" Hughey.
Her family was from Spartanburg, South Carolina. She and her sister, Annie, both married Webbs. Annie, who was a schoolteacher, married Melvin, Jake's brother. Two other Hugheys married Abercrombies, although the name is used as "Crombie" on some of the tombstones in the Lebanon, Alabama graveyard near Hamilton, on Route 17. I am assured that it is the same family.
Melvin Webb went to school at the same school Annie taught before he married Annie.
The Hugheys were supposedly very short, black-haired, and when they married into the Webbs, the Webbs became very short-statured.
FROM NOTES I FOUND IN MY FOLDER, WRITTEN BY WEBB COUSIN IN MISSOURI - I QUOTE VERBATIM: "Nancy's sister Annie Hughey, Johnny Hughey, G.A. Hughey, born 30, 1815 died January 27, 1880, Viola V. Hall - Grandpa's 2nd wife - born March 3, 1869, died December 27, 1938." I am not sure if that 1815 date refers to a brother or a father or a mother.
In the 1870 Alabama Census, Marion Coutny, the following family is listed.
Abe, 57 years old, farmer, from South Carolina.
A,poss 28 years old NEED TO CHECK
S, 24 years old, femal.

Updated July 2009
First, please read my post, "Anybody Can Draw," if you haven't already. And please don't copy my drawing - but do feel free to use it to inspire your own.
This is like my other examples with tracing (turtles, tea strainer) except that, instead of tracing a real-life object, you will create your own shape to trace. My frog panel drawing is another example where I made patterns that I traced around, a sitting frog and a jumping frog.
To try this, in addition to your drawing paper, you will need an extra piece of paper or a piece of lightweight cardboard like an index card.
First take your "extra" paper or card. On it, draw an animal as viewed from the side. Don't worry about how it looks. A body, head with ears, four legs, and a tail. Mine included a mane (colored red in my drawing.) Consider angling the front or back legs, like I did, for a moving animal. Now draw a smooth, curved line all around the outside of your animal drawing. (Think of an old-fashioned cookie cutter shape.) Cut it out with scissors along that line. This is your pattern.
Next, on your drawing paper, draw a 4x6" rectangle, or use an unruled 4x6" index card. (Note for card makers - Use any size that you'd like for your top card layer.) Place your pattern on your drawing space, perhaps at an angle if your animal is moving. Trace all around it, keeping your lines smooth and curved. Add a dot for the eye. Add lines to separate the legs if needed. Add a few more lines, like my animal's ear and tail, or extend the leg lines a little way up into the body.
For your landscape, add a wavy horizontal line for the horizon, a scalloped or curvy shaped cloud, and some ovals on one side for rocks. You can also add a road, like my drawing, by drawing a pair of curvy diagonal lines (you can improve on my example if you bring your lines closer together as they get near the top, for perspective).
Your drawing may look more finished if you double or triple some of your lines, like I did, by drawing similar lines alongside your cloud, road, rock, or horizon lines. Color. Enjoy.
For more drawings to try, click on "try this" just below, or in the menu bar in my blog header, or in the label list on the right.

Being In Real Love
Remembers what it feels like to be in love with someone so wonderful and sweet, damn I've missed ME...but I fell in love with myself all over again.Was wondering why I ever broke up with me?But that doesn't matter now, I've figured out there is no feeling better than the intimacy of knowing who you are.(If I can't have... me, no one can. I'm selfish too, because I know that no one can love me like I do.)
