A ribbon cutting ceremony took place at the new larger Sartell warming house at the Val Smith Park. The Sartell skaters will have more room to warm-up while at the ice rink. The Central Minnesota Builders Association (CMBA), a group of builders, building material suppliers and building service suppliers donated time and material to make this a reality for the City of Sartell.
This warming house was built in memory of Geoff Sagen, Tri-Mor Homes, Inc. who started the project. Geoff passed away on January 18, 2003. The 20 x 20 foot building was completed after Sartell presented a need to the CMBA. The Sartell Mayor, Sartell Parks Department Representative and the building project leader along with other interested individuals were present at the ribbon cutting.
The CMBA recognizes that more can be accomplished by using all of its resources and collaborating on projects that have already been identified as having value to the community. The CMBA has been actively improving our communities through involvement with the parks and recreation departments for over 30 years.

❝Don't ever take your eyes off me.❞
Yes, although since you brought up earth power...
I kinda felt Typhlosion deserved to have earth power since it is capable of learning eruption, and don't get me started on why Typhlosion deserved drought way more than Ninetales.
But yes earth power would be amazing, I hope if it does become Fire/Ground it doesn't become bulky.
Ok call me crazy but at the moment by just looking at the starters first forms I think this may end up being my favourite gen of starters the only way they could mess it up is fire/fighting fennekin or grass/normal chespin. chespin as grass/dark would be awesome and another reason to call me crazy does anyone else think froakie could become a ghost type I don't know why but I could see him becoming ghostly most likely he won't though.
Well, you know that I'm not against :$
Chespin just looks like a tough little warrior that will become a real knight by evolving(or a fat hedgedog, but that's another story)
Grasswhistle fits more with female-looking grass pokemon like Liligant or Roserade... doesn't it ?
Oh my Feebas !
Newest Shiny !
Spoiler:- My Hunts and Shinies:
i wouldnt mind if chispin looked kinda like... shurimon.jpg
Fennekin will evolve into a Fire/Ground type.
I based this off the color scheme as well as the origins of Fennekin (Fennec Foxes) which lives in the desert.
You can't really say anything with certainty. For example if you looked at its colour scheme and location where penguins live in real life, Empoleon should be water/ ice. Pigs roll around in the mud, so emboar would be fire/ ground as well.
This just goes to show that you cannot always predict a pokemon's type based on the habitat it lives in, though there is a good chance Fennekin may be fire/ground.
This probably means nothing but
All fire starters have been bipedal
So I can't get the image of a bipedal fennekin out of my head
With the exception of thyploshion.
Again it probably means nothing
Just thinking out loud.

phantomQunitPlugin - 1.0.1Run Javascript Qunit tests from a CI server or the command line! |
After installing, make sure to run the phantomQunit:init task. This will create a phantomqunit directory in your tests directory where you can save all of your javascript tests. It will also write the paths to your project root and the directory where your tests are stored in the test runner javascript files.
You must run phantomQunit:init everytime your project root changes or you change the location of your javascript tests. In other words, you'll probably have to run it each time you do a Hudson build, etc.
There's really not much to configure, however you can change the location of your js tests by editing phantomQunit.yml in the plugin's config directory.
There is an object called phantomQunitUtils
that you can access from your Qunit tests. phantomQunitUtils
gives you:
- the path to the root directory of your projectTEST_DIR
- the path to the directory where your javascript tests are storedload
- a function which will load javascript files for you on the flyTo run all javascript tests:
./symfony phantomQunit:run
To run a specific javascript test (e.g. a test suite at test/phantomqunit/moduleName/testA.js)
./symfony phantomQunit:run moduleName/testA
To generate a JUnit xml:
./symfony phantomQunit:run --xml=log/qunit_tests.xml
Make sure to run export DISPLAY=:0
before running your qunit tests on a machine with no X but with xvfb installed.
(This should be run on every hudson build.)
You may have to make hudson an xuser if it tells you it can't find a display at :0 - xhost +local:hudson

Purple Haze
They (the eggplant, not my children) look exactly like my brother-in-law's favourite shoes (although, obviously, he only has two of them - he's not Jake the Peg or anything). My brother-in-law never buys anything cheap, so that means these are pretty classy eggplant (or, at the very least, it means that they have the potential to be over-priced).
But, of course, I'm not going to sell them (you can't sell your children - I mean, vegetables - can you? I mean there must be a law against that - at least in the ACT [there's a law against everything, in the ACT, let's face it.])
But, given that I am not planning to put them on the market, I do need some ideas about what to do with them. When I planted the bush all those months ago, it didn't occur to me that I might actually achieve a crop of the things (there are half a dozen more out there, swelling as I write). Now that I am faced with the finished product, I realise I don't usually cook eggplant and have no real idea about what makes them taste especially delicious.
I therefore welcome all recipe suggestions, provided eggplants are the central theme.
11 comments:
Why not cut the eggplant into slices about 1/2 cm thick, smear some olive oil over and grill them lightly (with black stripes, of course!). Then you could put some tasty chevre on top, plus sun-dried tomato and fresh thyme or oregano. Yummy snack/entree! By the way- congrats on your crop!
ReplyDeleteThey look a very attractive mauve. In fact, they remind me of the colour of a pair of shoes made by the elves in a Ladybird edition of The Elves and the Shoemaker, which I had as a child and which I still read to my boys. So why not leave them on your workbench, loudly complain of your poverty before bedtime and see what happens?
ReplyDeleteThere's a shortage of eggplants in country Arizona at the moment -- they've all frozen in the fields or something, rows of iced-over stiff purple lightbulbs -- and we've been looking for them so that we can make green curry. I agree with the grilling suggestion too, but if you buy, from a shop, one of those little jars of Thai Green Curry Paste, and cook it as instructed, with eggplant in there -- cut into cubes and cooked in the coconut milk until it almost melts -- it tastes pretty lovely.
ReplyDeleteGaw - bloody elvish magic means I only read your comment after I'd eaten them all. Maybe next year.
Umbagollah - yes, yes, yes, delicious. In fact, I can even make my own paste, as I have also grown (how boastful I am becoming) a huge clump of lemongrass and masses of coriander. Arizona must have ritzed up since we went through. At that time, I don't think you'd have been able to find a jar of Thai paste anywhere in the state.Cut pumpkin into 1cm cubes, and eggplants into chunky slices.
Heat oil in sauce pan until hot.
throw in pumpkin and eggplant and stir until sides of both are charred (about 2 - 3 minutes).
Remove from pan.
Turn down heat. Put in a chopped onion and a small thinly sliced chilli (or some capsicum if you don't like chilli).
When onion softens a little, add in two chopped tomatos and a tablespoon of curry powder of your choice (masala works well) and a curry leaf. Cook until raw curry smell disappears (usually 3-4 miinutes)
Add in a cup of water and the pumpkin and eggplant.
Turn down heat and cook until water reduces and punkpin and eggplant go mushy. Top up with a little extra water to keep it moist.

Dying Fetus vs. Soulfly – Death Match
Death metal legends Dying Fetus struck down Overkill in last week's Death Match, beginning to carve their way towards the Death Match Hall of Fame. However, the band will face a very worthy adversary in Soulfly and their single 'World Scum.'
From their 2012 release 'Enslaved,' Soulfly took their music into a much heavier realm, with 'World Scum' accurately representing that change. Brazilian metal icon and Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera recently spoke about the concept of their latest album in a recent interview with Loudwire.
"It was heavily influenced by death metal music and the topic," says Cavalera. "Most of the songs were about slavery. It's a strong topic — I think it's a real hardcore topic — not many bands touch it so it was kind of original."
Can Dying Fetus destroy their opponents yet again? Or will Soulfly wax away their competition? The choice belongs to you. Vote for your favorite track in the poll below!

Commentary by Michael Wade on Leadership, Ethics, Management, and Life

I wrote on the original Queenan article and echoed his comments. I'm not much of a Stravinsky fan but would have to agree with Teachout that such broadbrush criticisms are always too easy to make and too hard to defend.
Though I found Johnson's New History of Art a great read.
Thanks for posting.
I consider myself justifiably admonished. - At 7:12 PM, Michael Wade said...
No admonishment intended. I just thought it was an interesting exchange between two bright people.

I read somewhere that when she and her first husband divorced, there was a bankruptcy and one of the things on the bankruptcy report was a balance owing of over $1,000 on a Victoria's Secret credit card. Yep, beige on the outside, but a lot of hidden fire. LOL.

Work to start on new recycling centre for Sidmouth
PUBLISHED: 11:50 29 January 2013 | UPDATED: 11:50 29 January 2013
CONSTRUCTION work will start in February on a state-of-the-art recycling centre that will serve Sidmouth and Ottery St Mary.
The new facility near the Bowd on the C808 will replace the existing nearby Woods Farm hub – branded inadequate for modern demands.
Devon County Council (DCC) bosses say the larger centre will give residents a far superior service with minimal queuing and congestion, and make it far easier and convenient to recycle household items and waste.
The site will be of a split-level design where the public can deposit items for recycling or disposal in various containers placed at a lower level without the need to climb steps.
The majority of HGV movements will take place separate from the public area which will enable the site to remain open to the public when waste containers are being exchanged.
A traffic loop system, with ample car parking, will ensure a smooth flow of traffic preventing the problem of stationary vehicles blocking the access and exit route.
The new site will be of a design and capacity that will prevent vehicles having to queue on the public highway during peak periods or during container exchanges - as happens with the existing site.
The centre will also feature a small building and dedicated yard to enable recovered goods and bric-a-brac to be sold to the public.
The area will be sympathetically landscaped and planted with 5,000 trees and shrubs to maximise screening.
Councillor Roger Croad, DCC cabinet member for environment and community, said: "This will be a modern, well designed facility, fit for purpose and a real asset for the community. In recent years, there has been much more emphasis on treating waste as resource and this will certainly help residents dispose of unwanted items but also allow us to supply the waste industry with quality materials."
Sidmouth and Sidford's county councillor Stuart Hughes added: "I'm so pleased that at long last we are going to see work begin."
Ottery county councillor Roger Giles said: "This will enable people to recycle more materials in a safer environment."

SGI puts a Copan spin on data archiving system
SGI packages Copan Systems' MAID disk spin-down technology into an ArcFiniti file data archiving system with separate tiers and disk protection capabilities
Silicon Graphics International (SGI) Corp. today introduced the ArcFiniti file data archiving system that integrates...

a high-performance primary cache along with the disk spin-down technology it acquired from Copan Systems Inc. last year.
ArcFiniti is the first SGI product that integrates Copan massive array of idle disks (MAID) technology with SGI technology. SGI did re-brand Copan technology as the SGI Copan 400 for block data last June. Copan's MAID technology spins down disk drives that aren't active, saving on energy costs.
SGI's ArcFiniti places active file data in a virtualized primary cache on the front end and automatically moves older, less frequently accessed data to a disk-based system on the back end via SGI's Data Migration Facility (DMF) software. The primary cache has 100% spun up RAID 6 drives, and users can access it through an NFS-based network mount point. ArcFiniti's file archiving tier consists of power-managed MAID IP. All files in primary and archive tiers are always online and visible to the users.
For ArcFiniti, SGI said it now allows up to 50% of the drives to be spun up at once, up from 25% in previous MAID versions.
"We virtualized the primary cache with the back end so users see one pool of storage. They will not see two blocks of storage," said Floyd Christofferson, SGI product marketing director. "We're bringing the type of technology that we deploy in some of the world's largest archives and making it accessible to the general compute environment. You get the advantages of a disk-based system with costs associated with tape."
After Copan raised more than $110 million in funding, SGI acquired it for $2 million in private foreclosure from Copan's secured creditors in February 2010. Copan invented MAID, which claimed to lower operational costs by powering down a portion of drives within an array to lower consumption costs, but the company failed to sell enough systems to stay in business.
SGI is targeting the midrange to high-end long-term file archiving market with ArcFiniti.
One ArcFiniti 4.5U cabinet can pack up to approximately 1.5 PB of storage capacity. The same cabinet can scale to five different capacity configurations. The three smallest configurations -- with 156 TB, 234 TB and 468 TB active tiers -- include 20 TB of primary cache, three Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports and two 10 GbE ports. There's also a model with a 936 TB active tier, 40 TB primary cache, six GbE ports and four 10 GbE ports. The largest unit has a 1.4 PB active tier, 60 TB primary cache, six GbE ports and nine 10 GbE ports.
List pricing ranges from $191,842 for the smallest model to a little more than $1 million for the largest. The systems will be available May 1.
ArcFiniti tiers data based on user policies, continually examines data integrity and monitors disk health every 30 days to find errors before drives fail. The systems include from five to 30 spare drives. During the down cycles, an algorithm checks the data and drives for soft or hard errors, especially defects that may require a potential RAID rebuild. If any are found, a shadow copy of the data is moved to a spare drive and the potentially defective drive is put out of service.
Can SGI keep Copan technology spinning?
The challenge for SGI is to succeed with technology that failed to save Copan. Independent backup expert W. Curtis Preston said the final nail in Copan's coffin came when the vendor married MAID technology with data deduplication through a partnership with FalconStor Software Inc. Copan's systems couldn't keep up with the high I/O requirements.
"It was the worst disaster; the performance was abysmal," Preston said.
Preston said he's skeptical about ArcFiniti's chances. Although SGI reps claim the archiving product is cheaper than competitive disk systems, Preston said it doesn't match up with the price of tape -- most enterprises' medium of choice for data archiving.
"It's simply not competitive with what's in the market," he said. "They're aiming for the long-term archiving market and that is tape. Tape is just as reliable and disk is more expensive. It's expensive to buy and more expensive for power and cooling reasons, so why would a customer buy that over a competing tape solution?"
Sheila Childs, research director in Gartner's Storage Strategies and Technologies Group, said SGI is trying to push into a market that's crowded yet hasn't been popular with users. Copan's long-term disk archiving appliance competitors include EMC Corp.'s Centera CAS system and Data Domain Archiver, Hewlett-Packard Integrated Archive Platform, Hitachi Data Systems Hitachi Content Platform (HCP), IBM Information Archive and Nexsan Assureon.
"The market for purpose-built archiving devices hasn't been particularly healthy," Childs said. "It has not seen a tremendous amount of growth. But I see a tremendous need for storage of massive archiving data. Where we will see the growth in the market will be in media entertainment, high-performance computing, business governance and the federal government -- anyone with large types of files. As long as these solutions are cost effective, they're great for these verticals."

Cinema City Stadium Theatres
5635 E. La Palma Avenue,
Anaheim Hills,
2 people favorited this theater
Opened in 1989. Remodeled in 2005. It was operated by The Movie Experience, but by 2010, it is operated by Starlight Cinemas.
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
Though the theatre itself advertises its location as Anaheim Hills, Anaheim Hills is not a separate city but a section of the City of Anaheim, and the location of this theatre will not map correctly on Google Maps unless you change the name from Anaheim Hills to Anaheim.
The chain which opened this multiplex was Sanborn Theatres, operating as SoCal Cinemas. The theatre continues to present special movie events that are provided under the name The Movie Experience by Sanborn Theatres. However, the company which provided the seats for the recent reconstruction into a stadium-seating configuration says on a popup from this page that Cinema City is operated by Starlight Cinemas, and a sidebar includes an encomium from Daniel Akarakian, President of Akarakian Theatres, indicating that he runs the place. Confusion.
Cinemapolis opened with two of its ten auditoriums equipped for 70mm presentations. Since the renovation, it has advertised all-digital projection, so I'm guessing the 70mm equipment is gone. The original seating capacity of the largest theatre in the complex was 500, but the reconfiguration for stadium seating has probably reduced that.
I was passing this area yesterday and swung by to catch a matinee of Red. The first three theatres are themed on the outside entrances, The Palace, Grand and Egyptian. I was in #2, The Grand. The other theatres are moderate size with nice screens and a nice seats. The Grand Theatre was great. It wasnt huge, maybe 300 seats max, but it was the detail that really set it apart. The huge wide red seats with leg room, the shooting stars on the ceiling, the nice and dim red stairway lighting.
Also, the people were so courteous. More then once did I see people ASKING if they wanted them to move so late comers would have two seats together.
The Screen was about 50 feet wide, side masked and curved. The presentation was great and the sound was fantastic. Overall a great experience, and for the price it is about the best deal one can find. ( I swear I only saw 11 auditoriums, but I guess there are 13.)

text: Is the Apple Netbook Really an Ebook?Mark Wilson3/11/09 1:08pmFiled to: RumorApple netbookNetBooksAppleLaptopsKindlekindle 2AmazoniTunes117EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink With three separate reports confirming that Apple has ordered 10-inch touchscreens from Taiwan, you can pretty much count it as fact. But not everyone thinks that those displays will end up in a netbook. Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun-Times has a different theory about the device that could point to at least one of its functions. He thinks it's being poised as an ebook: Advertisement Advertisement There's something I keep hearing, and I don't think I'd rank it as high as a rumor, but it's an interesting story that I keep hearing, that for awhile, trucks loaded with books would arrive at a loading dock on the Apple campus, and offload big, big, big, big, huge loads of books, and then the trucks would leave empty. And Apple does not have a 100,000-book employee library there on the Apple campus. So one is prone to believe that they're doing something with these books, such as turning them into text for some purpose we can only guess at. There's been a long-standing rumor that Apple has been silently preparing to open a bookstore on the iTunes store, and they want to make sure that they have a very large stock of electronic titles when they do open.In other words, iTunes could compete with Amazon in the literary marketplace with a 10-inch touchscreen device at the helm.If nothing else, it's one heck of a fun rumor. But if Apple weren't interested in using Google's large electronic library and they didn't want to cut a deal with Amazon, digitizing their own content would be a pretty feasible solution.

Clinical implications of shame and guilt
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
In this essay I will define shame and guilt briefly, discuss their clinical implications and examine the need for modifications to the therapeutic relationship and CBT interventions. Literature suggests that guilt is less pathogenic than shame in vulnerability to psychological distress (Gilbert,2010,Tangney et al,1995), therefore this essay will be weighted towards discussion of shame issues.
Defining Shame and Guilt
Various texts discuss shame and guilt, their interrelationship and origins (eg Gilbert & Andrews,1998,Tangney & Fischer,1995,Tangney et al,1995). Both are unpleasant, undesirable emotions which nevertheless have some social function. In shame there is a sense of global negative self-judgement: "I am bad" whereas in guilt the perception is "I have done something bad"; that the individual has broken his/her moral code (Gilbert,1992), while the self remains relatively intact (Tangney et al,1995). This seems to be a fundamental distinction.
In shame the focus is inwards on the self and self-defence, with the drive to hide, conceal or escape. There is a fear of negative evaluation in the eyes of others, who are experienced as scornful or attacking (Gilbert,1992). Shame can be associated with perceived flaws in one's personality or physical appearance (Gilbert,2000b). People develop strategies to keep themselves safe, such as submission or appeasement, striving for achievement or conversely adopting an attacking stance to counteract shame. High levels of self-criticism are common.
Guilt is based on responsibility for one's behaviour and harm done to others. It can be helpful in strengthening relationships whereas shame is not. The focus is more outward, with the desire to reach out and make amends, rendering guilt more accessible for work in therapy (Gilbert,2010). Guilt can co-exist with shame, for example if one's guilty actions are exposed, when it can be more problematic.
Clinical Implications
'The clinical challenge of shame is, first, to be aware of its existence and, second, to find means of coping with it other than hiding' (Tantam,1998)
Shame is often a vulnerability factor in depression, is usually linked with a more chronic presentation (Andrews,1998a), and can increase the likelihood of relapse (Gilbert & Proctor,2006).
One of the key implications for clinical work is the type of safety strategies people develop to cope with shame. These include submissive behaviour, avoiding development of trust and intimacy, and striving to be pleasing and acceptable (Gilbert & Proctor,2006). These can impinge on therapy, as can the drive to hide or conceal, rather than share and disclose. We all want to present a positive image to others and be perceived positively by them (Gilbert,1992). For patients with shame issues this can lead to concealment of true feelings and non-disclosure of significant information such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, or addictive behaviour. This may make assessment difficult or lead the therapist in the wrong direction. Significant information may be disclosed as the therapeutic relationship develops and the formulation will need to be reviewed in the light of this.
Gilbert (2009) demonstrates how safety strategies continually stimulate the threat system in the brain (Appendix I)and maintains that people with high levels of shame have usually not been soothed in childhood and consequently have never learned to self-soothe.
Andrews (1998b) makes links between shame, sexual abuse and depression. Patients may engage in several episodes of therapy without disclosing. Concealment can affect physical as well as mental well-being: Pennebaker (1997) describes the physiological effects of inhibiting distressing emotions. With hindsight I wonder if one patient's auto-immune problems could have been partly due to inhibition. I suspected that sexual abuse lay in the background, but it was months before she was able even to allude to this; a first disclosure at the age of 58. Her beliefs about being bad and disgusting impinged on her ability to disclose, and she was never really explicit.
Gilbert (1992) links shame with a fear of being treated with contempt or disgust by others. My patient was easily affected by the disapproval of others, especially powerful others (as a devout Catholic, her parish priest) and tended to withdraw. Religious belief added another dimension to her shame. It was difficult but rewarding work, and eventually she was able to share her experience with her husband and adult children.
Careful assessment is needed as patients often struggle to find words for their shame and it is easy to miss in therapy. Tangney et al (1995) refer to listening with a 'third ear' (p360) for shame experiences. Clues can include a sudden stop in the flow of narrative, shifting position, looking uncomfortable, breaking eye contact, blushing, and perspiring (Gilbert,1998a,Gilbert & Leahy,2007). Shame can affect cognitive processes, resulting in the "mind going blank" experience (Gilbert,1998a). Alternatively patients may display sudden anger, seemingly out of proportion. Scheff (1998) discusses bypassed shame, where the person becomes angry as a result of a shaming experience but this happens so quickly that they are unaware of feeling shame.
It seems important to remember that depressive symptoms such as psychomotor retardation, diminished concentration and withdrawal can themselves impede communication. Beck et al (1979) suggest that when depressed patients have difficulty articulating their distress, therapists may need to prompt or even guess. With shame these difficulties may be magnified. Patients may be ashamed about being depressed (Beck et al,1979), being seen as weak, neurotic or incompetent. They may conceal their depression from others, forfeiting the support they might have obtained. Guilt and shame can lead to a person feeling they are a burden and that suicide is the only solution (Gilbert,2000). Patients may be ashamed and guilt about having suicidal thoughts, and with shame particularly self-harming often occurs, so a thorough risk assessment is indicated.
Fear of how the therapist might perceive negative information can affect disclosure, fuelled by the desire to be experienced positively in the eyes of others (Gilbert,2010). People with shame-based core beliefs fear further shame or exposure (Gilbert,1998b) and the consequent concealment can lead to feelings of being stuck in both therapist and patient. Use of supervision can help therapists to explore issues. Patients with high levels of shame may predict that therapists will react with anger or disgust, and terminate therapy (Gilbert,2000b). A patient I assessed was deeply ashamed that her husband had to remind her to wash and change her clothes. When her husband provided this information she wondered whether I would still be prepared to work with her.
Strategies developed to cope with shame affect people's relationships with others and their ability to enlist help, including attending therapy. They influence the way people cope with powerful emotions in therapy and whether they stay in treatment. Taking a history offers an opportunity to validate patients' experiences in a non-judgemental way and to begin de-shaming. Therapists need to emphasise that they understand how patients' strategies developed and to validate their efforts under difficult circumstances (Gilbert,2010). Although understandable at the time, strategies such as avoiding triggering situations or concealing feelings can have a role in maintaining problems, but the idea of changing them is usually very threatening. Therapists need to acknowledge this. It is also important to understand the thinking behind coping strategies, which can vary from: "Hide and you won't be found out" to: "Get in first and you won't be challenged" (Gilbert,1998b) which have different implications for therapy.
Perceptions of what is shaming can change over time (Lewis,1998). At the start of my career 25 years ago I met patients who had been institutionalised after conceiving an illegitimate child. Illegitimacy still carries social stigma in some societies, and therapists need to be aware of social, cultural and religious aspects of shame.
Tangney et al (1995) argue that guilt is not as strongly linked with propensity to depression as is shame. Guilt can be part of a depressive presentation, when it is often inappropriate or disproportionate. The authors suggest that guilt is not necessarily linked with psychological problems but that it can become pathological when linked with shame, leading to rumination and self-attacking. Beck et al (1979) caution against assuming that patients' guilt is appropriate, suggesting it is often linked with an excessive sense of responsibility for others. Therapy can help patients to stand back and look at the situation more rationally. The authors also suggest that there may be guilt about being depressed, due either to stigma associated with mental health problems or for being depressed when there is no apparent reason. They demonstrate the role of guilt in maintaining cycles of unhelpful behaviour such as alcohol abuse: drinking to excess, guilt about the drinking and more drinking to cope with the guilt.
The drive with guilt is to confess and make amends, so it may be easier to work with than shame as patients can be more open about their feelings. There is less resistance to disclosing and discussing guilt (Gilbert,2009,Macdonald,1998). As with shame it is important to explore social, cultural and religious values and therapists need to be alert to "should" and "must" statements.
The Therapeutic Relationship
Beck et al (1979) stress the importance of the therapist's ability to 'adapt his own personal style so that it meshes with that of the patient' (p27) when working with depression. The therapeutic relationship is influenced by the past experiences of both patient and therapist and Leahy (2007) considers the effects of schematic mis-match leading to possible ruptures. Hardy et al (2007) agree: 'Of paramount importance in maintaining the relationship is the therapist's ability to tailor therapy to the individual needs and characteristics of clients'(p34).
The therapeutic relationship needs to be very strong if shame is to be brought out into the open, and therapists need to be aware of their own shame issues (Tantam,1998). Therapists need to be particularly attentive to their own inner processes, and to transference and counter-transference issues. Therapists can be drawn into shame cycles, feeling a failure when patients do not progress: 'shame-prone patients can easily induce shame in others' (Gilbert,1998b,p256). There can be avoidance on the part of both patient and therapist when they can become engaged in 'a kind of shadow dance of skirting around central issues' (Gilbert,2000a,p125). It follows that when working with shame it will be necessary to slow the pace of therapy, allowing longer for the therapeutic relationship to become established. Beck and colleagues (1979) caution against rushing in with techniques and stress the need for sensitivity to patients' shame, allowing time for the groundwork of building trust.
It is vital for therapists to demonstrate warmth and empathy, validating patients' deeply painful experiences and the strong emotions these engender. Greenberg (2007) suggests that this will assist patients to articulate their pain without feeling shamed and can activate the soothing system. He hopes that this might be internalised by patients who have not been soothed in childhood. Gilbert has written extensively about the need for compassion in working with high levels of shame (Gilbert,2005,2007,2009,2010) but both he and Beck et al (1979) warn against overly intense warmth, which depressed patients may perceive as threatening. Compassion may be associated with weakness or being kind to someone in order to exploit them. The emotional tone of therapy is important, as a caring environment may be extremely anxiety-provoking for some patients, decreasing the likelihood of disclosure (Gilbert,2010).
Therapists always need to be aware of their own and the patient's non-verbal communication, but need to fine-tune their antennae when working with shame. Moderating eye contact so it is not threatening, paying attention to facial expressions and tone of voice, and adopting a relaxed, interested approach is advocated (Gilbert& Leahy,2007). The authors suggest that reflecting is particularly important, helping patients who often feel a deep sense of aloneness to feel understood, and building the 'empathic bridge'(p12). 'The way a therapist is able to create experiences of safeness, often with the use of compassion, can be key to therapy progress, especially with high-shame and self-critical people'(p18).
An awareness of the potential power of the therapist-patient relationship is also needed. Patients with subjugation beliefs are likely to defer to the therapist and to feel inferior, as described in Gilbert's (1992) social-evolutionary approach to depression. They may hide any problems in the therapeutic relationship which give rise to shame because they fear a loss of status or loss of the therapist i.e. if the therapist disapproves of some revelation the sessions will be terminated. Sharing emotions can resonate with previous shaming experiences (Gilbert & Leahy,2007) which resulted in abandonment or punishment, and therapists need to beware of unwittingly compounding or activating patients' shame: for example using written handouts when a patient has literacy problems.
Taking time to develop the therapeutic relationship and build trust also applies to work with high levels of guilt, but disclosure is more likely due to the drive to confess and make amends. Therapists can emphasise that guilt is a normal emotion that everyone will experience, at the same time demonstrating empathy for patients' feelings. Pennebaker (1997) suggests that confession can be healing, and acceptance and understanding from the therapist can reduce feelings of guilt (Beck et al,1979).

Paul Gilbert writes passionately about compassion in therapy (Gilbert,2005,2009,2010) and has developed Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) (Gilbert,2010) specifically for patients with high shame and self-criticism. CFT uses many CBT interventions, but with a compassionate focus and some modifications. The emphasis is on helping people develop self-compassion by taking the view that how we arrive at who and where we are is not entirely our own doing, but is shaped by many factors, including early experiences. For people with high levels of shame these have usually been unhappy.
Salkovskis (1996) writes that working with safety strategies is about understanding how and why people have become trapped in these behaviours and exploring beliefs about them rather than labelling them "distorted" or "irrational". Such labels would be particularly unhelpful for high-shame patients. Safety strategies may literally have helped people to stay safe: the abused child monitors the abuser's moods and adapts her behaviour in the hope of avoiding violence (Gilbert,2010). Understanding this and taking a "not your fault" approach can help to reduce shame, encouraging people to take a step back and see how thoughts, beliefs and behaviours developed in response to circumstances (Gilbert & Proctor,2006).
Formulation is used as in all CBT, and central to this is the patient's sense of loneliness and not being understood. The formulation can shed light on problems in the therapeutic relationship and other relationships, showing how these might have developed and are maintained (Leahy,2008). Gilbert (1998b) has a helpful example of a case conceptualisation (Appendix II).
Gilbert (2010) advocates using Socratic questioning and guided discovery to develop idiosyncratic formulations rather than constructing a problem list. Patients need to understand the links between early experiences and safety strategies, and using a historical log (Padesky and Greenberger,1995)) can be helpful in updating autobiographical memories using standard techniques for modifying negative automatic thoughts.
The reasoning approach of CBT can be useful, but people need to make emotional connections too. 'It is when people make emotional connections that change can occur' (Gilbert,2010,p76). Therapists need to be genuine in their acceptance and validation of patients' emotions and allow time for those emotions to be experienced. Ill-timed questions or techniques can be experienced as dismissive by the patient, confirming that their feelings are invalid or unimportant (Leahy,2008). Sensitivity is needed in the use of silence, asking patients whether it is helpful or not. Some patients may experience silence as threatening or judgemental (Gilbert,2007).
Tangney et al(1995) endorse Beck's cognitive-behavioural interventions as shame can be linked with unhelpful beliefs and cognitions, and Gilbert (2010) agrees but stresses the importance of developing self-compassion first. Patients need to have a compassionate voice with which to "hear" the alternative thoughts generated in therapy. They are often able to understand the logical approach of CBT in weighing evidence for and against a belief or behaviour, but struggle to feel any different. Developing a compassionate mind is an important modification of this technique (Lee,2005). It is more helpful to look for changes in affect rather than in ratings of belief in cognitions, and important to check out whether apparent improvement in scores is borne out by the patients' presentation, given the need of some patients to please (Gilbert & Proctor,2006).
CBT interventions such as making changes, setting goals and desensitization to feared stimuli can be used, but with a compassion-based approach first (Gilbert,2010). As in CBT, CFT works towards changing unhelpful behaviours such as rumination or self-criticism, which stimulate the threat system. Patients are encouraged to engage in more compassionate behaviour, such as use of calming imagery or soothing breathing, engaging the soothing system. Gradual exploration of distressing emotions can be used in a similar way to desensitization. Therapists need to be containing and able to tolerate high levels of distress in order to provide a safe base for patients. Gilbert and Proctor's (2006) group used Socratic questioning, thought monitoring and re-evaluation, but focussed on developing self-compassion rather than directly challenging thoughts.
Gilbert stresses the importance of exploring the content of ruminations as well as addressing the behaviour. This may indicate where the focus lies: on the self in shame and on others in guilt. He cautions against getting into cognitive restructuring too soon, but it can be used if it seems helpful (Gilbert,2007).
Use of language is important: terms such as "thinking errors" or "cognitive distortions" can be invalidating and shaming for patients (Gilbert,2010). I prefer to use "unhelpful" generally, but for high-shame patients this can be vital. The word "homework" may activate shaming experiences from school, so an acceptable alternative needs to be found in collaboration with patients. When setting tasks it is important that patients are clear about the rationale for what they are doing, and it may be useful to write this down. A patient recently did not attempt tasks because his partner was scathing about them: a written rationale could have helped.
Working with Guilt
Therapists should not assume that a patient's guilt is appropriate; in depression it may be linked with an excessive sense of responsibility (Beck et al,1979). Asking the patient why they feel so responsible and encouraging them to stand back and look at the situation more rationally is advocated. This is often easier with guilt than with shame as guilt is associated with particular behaviours rather than with the self as fundamentally flawed. Using a 'responsibility pie' (Padesky and Greenberger,1995) can be helpful when working with guilt.
Patients who hold beliefs about always putting others first may experience guilt about attending to their own needs and the conflicting emotions involved can be explored in therapy (Gilbert,2000a). People may be applying high standards, such as being the perfect parent, and it can be helpful to discuss with others and explore their experiences. Activity Monitoring may reveal a good deal on these themes, but patients may need extra encouragement to engage in enjoyable activities for themselves.
Beck et al (1979) suggest using CBT techniques such as examining pros and cons or behavioural experiments to explore ways of changing behaviour in order to break out of guilt cycles. Patients may need to work towards accepting guilt feelings as part of the normal range of emotions. Cognitive restructuring can be used, but Gilbert cautions against introducing this prematurely (Gilbert,2000a).
From the evidence above it seems that many CBT techniques can be helpful when working with high levels of shame and guilt. Appropriate modifications as described can prevent these emotions being compounded in therapy. The therapeutic relationship is crucial and requires therapists to be compassionate and containing. Researching this essay has been extremely helpful clinically and when I am finding therapy difficult I will endeavour to remember that: 'Our patients are struggling the best way they can to survive or cope with great distress and we remain deeply respectful of that' (Gilbert,2007).

keep this thread handy so you can refer to it in 5yrs,,, maybe the suggestions, in hindsight, will seem more pertinent when you're rebuilding part of the foundation,,, as usual, many posters enter here seeking anonymous reinforcement for pie-in-the-sky unworkable solutions instead of making the hard choices to do it ONCE correctly,,, if you think this is personal, it ain't as none of us ' know ' you,,, might want to read '

That may be, but a year into it, things are still good. And if ur they type of person that goes for the most extreme fix, regardless.....all the power to you! Like you said, worst case, I have to get it done anyway but at least I know I tried other recommendations before forking out a fortune....call me crazy! But thats okay, because you will see enough reports done on this, to suggest that other alternatives be pursued first like I mentioned, grading...gutters etc. before jumping into expensive and unnecessary solutions. Seems logical to me, why treat the symptoms, without addressing the cause.
As for "dissing", its what they do (foundation repair and waterproofing),........this was their recommendation on what they saw. Pretty honorable if you ask me, there was a lot more money to be made by them recommending everything but, what they recommended to me, wouldnt you say? By the way, although you mentioned it is "obvious" they arent pro's, the company and techincian that came out was a certified structural engineer and waterproofer. Quote:

I find it shifty as well: they 'easily' took out the Cat creatures? how could it be easy when just beating one took the entirety of 95?
Miria, Galatea, Tabitha and Miata.....I'm assuming by overlooking the "village", they are in the same village as Priscilla and are no longer in Rabona(?). Yes, Raki and Priscilla were never far away, but I didn't think they were THIS close. Also gives no mention about the cat creatures in the village to begin with; did Raki and Priscilla fight them or not? |

It does mention Beth. It says that dozens of Luciella wannabes pop out of her body and head to Raki Skywalker's village. But yeah, I find it weird that the trio dispatched the Luciella wannabe's "easily" when it took all three of them to take down one last month.

They don't deserve No. 1 eh? Teresa might have been hiding her strength, but I'd wager that Alicia and Beth together would have posed some very serious problems even for her. One simply doesn't discount the value of two Abyssal-level fighters, particularly when their combat abilities are higher than an actual Abyssal One's (Riful). Alicia and Beth are probably the strongest Nos. 1 & 2 pairing since Teresa's time, when you had Teresa and Priscilla. To call them undeserving does a disservice to the twins, who seem to be dangerous threats to everyone but Superabyssals like Priscilla and the Destroyer.

For me Proscilia was just a dumb, rule follower freak. If not her brainless act, she wouldn't be a yoma right now.
And yes, the extra chapter with Teresa might not have been really needed, but it still was nice. Besides it's mot like she had tried to show off on purpose. For me what made Teresa interesting is not only her power, but how her whole character had changed. Turning from a proud number 1 Claymore into a soft traitor was a huge change. And when she had killed those bandits, that was the best moment for me. She literally gave up her life for Clare. And she did it by abondining her pride as number 1. The biggest part of Claymores would probably ignore those bandits.

Jessica Alba and Brooke Burke admit to eating healthy year round… but do YOU need a summer refresher?
FlatOut Bread is an amazing food that will change the way you make sandwiches for your family (really). Not only can you replace the traditional, boring slices of bread you use for sandwiches or toast, but you can make tons of family meals healthier by switching to FlatOut. How, you ask? Well, it's as easy as turkey burgers with a few slices of avocado, pizza's made with low calorie cheese and tons of veggies, or toasting in small pieces to dip in healthy dressings or hummus! (Or heck, you can skip the extra step and just eat their #mce_temp_url# instead). FlatOut bread will turn your wraps, melts and grilled meals into a light, fresh experience, and best of all… they are high in protein, packed with whole grains, and low in fat.
Follow On Twitter: @FlatOutBread
Like On Facebook : FlatOutBread
So now that FlatOut Bread has inspired you towards healthy living (just try a bite and you'll see what we're saying), you can also try getting inspired by other women too. If you haven't heard of Joy Bauer MS, RD,CDN (she is a regular contributor to the Today Show and Women's Day Magazine)…you need to listen up. We love Joy because she gives practical, mom-friendly advice (hint: there is no "drink lemonade for a week" tips getting thrown around), but now she is staring a National Slimdown called "Slimdown With Joy Bauer". Joy will show women across the nation how to get healthy and lose weight before the new year, by breaking the process down into 4 easy steps. But even if you're not one of the lucky women, you can still get in on the action by joining the interactive community online (so you, Joy and other mommas can get healthy together). Easy enough, right?
* What Do You Think: How would YOU create a meal with FlatOut bread?

The biggest tag of all right now is naturally "Christmas". I have several Christmas themed posts on my blog. I created a Christmas category and assigned it to those posts which can all be found on the front page of my blog at http://timethief.wordpress.com but mysteriously the posts I tagged with "Christmas" as a category are not appearing on the wordpress.com tag page.
(1) Is this happening to anyone else's Christmas posts too?
(2) Has anyone got an explanation for this?
(3) How can it be "fixed"?
These are the posts in question:

i honestly have no idea.... sorry :(
i have Holiday tags, and those don't screw up... so you could change to "Holiday" instead of "Christmas"
I guess i might have an idea :D

I put a post on the forum for you and other new penguins. We seem to be getting more penguins every day at wordpress so you aren't going to be lonely for long just wait and see.
There is something you should know about our forums here. We don't use capital letters because that's SHOUTING and shouting is rude. We also don't use text speak. We speak in correct English to each other.
Happy blogging to you and Merry Christmas! -

Do you see the "infinity" pool that reaches out to the edges of my mountain top? Do you see the beautiful reflections of the grape arbor and the blue sky of the early morning?
Alas, it is not the pool of my dreams. In reality, it is a birdbath in my back yard.
This morning I filled it with water and saw myself swimming to its edge, resting my head on the warm, sunsoaked concrete "sand" of this container. A miniature me, swimming in the luxury of this round deep pool with a stunning view.
I breathe in the fragrance of the lavender, spreading into its own reflection, in this pool of my imagination.
Avoiding the one visionary rose that survived the summer heat and never needed watering.
I will leave the infinity pool of my dreams to the sweet, yellow finches...
To the beautiful bluebirds.
