For sheer literary dexterity and the apt Latin catchphrase Professor Oakeshott's Rationalism in Politicsfootnote* is the most civilised book I have read for a long time. But it is also a serious attempt to defend the deeper values of civilisation itself against reforming theorists and politicians with no real appreciation of what it is they are trying to reform. "Rationalism", which the book is devoted to pillorying, covers virtually any philosophy which would set up independently premeditated goals and ideals for an individual or society and pursue these in opposition to a traditional and unreflective mode of behaviour. Oakeshott ranges in his argument from pure conservative ties and prejudices, including a general dislike of the illiterate and the half-baked and of most kinds of change and disturbance, to a priori discussions of the nature of history, poetry, education and political science; and although he denies that he is offering a conservative "philosophy"—itself perhaps "rationalism" by his generous definition—he brings all these things together into recognisably the same framework, and much of the interest and importance of his book must lie in the impression it gives of being a genuinely philosophical defence of traditional ways of life.
In a now famous paragraph, which will bear quoting yet once again, Oakeshott gives his central image of the human condition:
In political activity, then, men sail a boundless and bottomless sea; there is neither harbour for shelter nor floor for anchorage, neither starting-place nor appointed destination. The enterprise is to keep afloat on an even keel; the sea is both friend and enemy; and the seamanship consists in using the resources of a traditional manner of behaviour in order to make a friend of every hostile occasion.
This passage comes in the essay on "Political Education", but its relevance is not to that topic (in any narrow sense) alone. The image of the boundless and bottomless sea dominates Oakeshott's philosophy in the same way that the allegory of the cave dominates Plato's Republic, summing up an entire conception of life and giving
Oakeshott's logical starting-place is the concept of "Rationalism". In any art or human activity, he suggests, two kinds of knowledge are always involved: "technical" knowledge and "practical" knowledge. Technical knowledge is knowledge that can be formulated into rules: the technique of driving a car is to be found in driving manuals and the Highway Code, the technique of cookery is in cookery books, and the technique of scientific discovery in the appropriate rules of research, observation and verification. Practical knowledge is "knowing how", and without it all rules and technical knowledge remain dead and meaningless: practical knowledge is the ability to interpret these in use, and it is what we mean when we speak of skill or craft or connoisseurship in any activity. It would not be misleading, Oakeshott says, to speak of this latter kind as "traditional" knowledge.

Mariah Carey lets it all hang out on a date night with billionaire fiance James Packer in St Tropez
The busty singer put on an eye-popping display in a plunging black mini dress
MARIAH Carey was dressed to impress on a date night with her fiance James Packer in St Tropez.
The talented singer ensured that she turned heads as she showed off her ample cleavage in an extremely low-cut black mini dress.
The pair did little to keep a low profile on the way to their romantic dinner date as Mariah donned a pair of oversized sunglasses despite the late hour of the day.
The Heart breaker singer teamed her plunging dress with a black bet and towering heels while she wore her blonde locks in glamorous waves.
Meanwhile billionaire businessman James was dressed more casually for the date night in a stripped top and jeans.
The Australian mogul and his wife-to-be announced their engagement in January.
They struck up a romance last year following the breakdown of Mariah's marriage to rapper and actor Nick Cannon, the father of her twins.
Mariah recently revealed that she wants her children to live a "normal" life.

The hitmaker's demanding career regularly takes her around the world but she doesn't want her five-year-old Moroccan and Monroe, to feel they have to follow her around on tour and live in the spotlight.
Speaking to Clash magazine, she said: "I want them to still feel normal. So, if they don't like travelling around at some point, they won't have to travel around. But they love travelling. They love flying. If I keep them home for like five days, they're like, 'When are we going on an airplane?'
They really love it.
"They love doing all these things and seeing places--they love the Eiffel Tower. It's amazing, you know what I mean? I just have the best time with them."
The 46-year-old singer and her twins are currently on holiday with James in France, while Mariah takes a break from touring for the summer.
The curly-haired beauty will return to her Las Vegas residency show in late August and will play there until September, before taking two months off and performing three shows in Brazil in mid-November.

Reading the forums I came across a thread, yet again about how the game is dead. I always think these are funny because so many people claim so many games are dead yet they keeping going for years. Any way what really caught my eye was SS posting very insightful post about the exit of Obsidian , and very professional done. SS does are great job in my opionion of being honest withoug really saying it was anyone fault per say. Any way you can read for yourself below. -armedbushido
SOURCEIt really depends on what you expect. Potential is nice to talk about, true, but I also think that the 0.21 version of the game (that I happened to test for quite a bit) is simply a good game as it is despite feelings of some players. It's obviously not the next 10/10 Skyrim, nor is it a WoT killer or any such nonsense (realistically, it never was and as far as I remember, we never claimed it to be), but I think that realistic rating would be around 7,5/10.
As for the developers, well... like you, and many other players, I came to the project a bit starstruck with the Obsidian name. I mean, holy crap, KOTOR2, New Vegas, those were some awesome games, right? Even the current Obsidian RPG production isn't bad, they love making RPGs and they are good at it. However, as I became more involved in, let's say, game's development a bit - not as a developer obviously, apart from some very limited cases, just someone with some access to the files and processes - well... let me put it like this. There were some great people working for Obsidian, Richard Taylor was and is an amazing person, he was always helpful for example. Spunky - Obsidian's CM - also worked really hard on making the game better and while I didn't always share his views, ultimately we both did our best.
But, of course, there were some pretty bad decision made when working on the project as well, on all three sides. There are two people who I blame most for the current state of the game, but none are currently working on the project anymore and even then, some of the decisions they took were good - the world is not black or white and none of us are cartoon villains. Let's just say that the way things ended with Obsidian... it couldn't have happened any other way and to blame "evil Russians" or any such crap is simply wrong. This story has no good guys or villains and I am quite frankly amazed that so many fell for the fairy tale on Reddit that one of the Obsidian devs wrote and used dupes to spread. Even without knowing internal information, surely anyone with common sense must suspect the truth is never that one sided.But that's the past.
The "new" team that came after them is neither inexperienced, nor small. Dmitry Tabakov was with the product since the beginning and has a vision of what we should do and no, it's not copying WoT (the person responsible for this strategy is not on the team anymore). He is a good developer, I trust him completely, his decisions make a lot of sense (it's a shame we can't always explain exactly how things work because some of the stuff is very internal). He's actually a really great guy to work with, always ready to explain stuff. His colleagues are pretty great as well (shout outs go to Evgeny, Peter, Karolis, Marina, Alexei and all the others who put up with my occasional bullshit ).
Not only Dmitry, but the team as a whole was there since the beginning and supported Obsidian. In fact, some of the most annoying problems were fixed by the RU team even during Obsidian time. These include:
- the disappearing premium big (remember that one?)
- optimization fixes (especially early on)
- partially the shot delay issue
And so on. In short, I am happy with the change.
On My.com side, we genuinely hate the sort of fuckups that happen, like today. Quite frankly, I can't really explain it, nor can I promise it won't happen again with complex events such as this one (you might have noticed that simple events now work well, we've established a process to keep the issues that caused them in check). Naturally, as the game population declined during the long one-year Balance 2.0 wait, some things got deprioritized - for example, you might remember the awesome video from 2015 where a T-72B shoots at pumpkins, such expensive things aren't really made until the launch. But the core didn't changed, I am here, the GM that was around since the launch is here, the old CM and production team still works for the company (except for Kevin and Josh, I miss them ). So yeah, we'll go on for as long as we have players.
As for the future, we have a plan regarding what to do. I can't put here any details obviously, it's mostly marketing and PR. Steam is obviously considered but I can't really share anything more, such steps have to be carefully prepared.
But the expectations must be realistic. We will never have as many players as WoT, or even close to that. Just like no MMORPG came close to World of Warcraft - some games are simply unique and, despite all the criticism and occasional fuckups, what the original Wargaming guys built was something amazing, the first game of its kind that single handedly revived the interest in tanks and all the stuff connected, especially in the CIS region.
Our goals are more modest - we want a stable community for the game to function as intended that would make all three modes viable on both servers. There will always be players who dislike it, forums will always draw more criticism and so on. But most of all, we want to have a game that's really liked by its fans. We still have some way to go, but the game will be here until the situation improves and, quite honestly, if you want the game to succeed this way the way we do, you have a chance to help us by not being toxic, being constructive and by trying to look at the game from an unbiased angle. I know it's hard after two years, but we've made a lot of improvements and I think we're heading in the right direction.
That's all.

Daniel Stevens graduated from UCLA in 2012 with a BA in Greek, and from TMS with an MDiv in 2015. He hopes to do further research in the field of New Testament studies. He enjoys coffee, reading, reading with coffee, board games, and food adventuring.
I grew up in a home that was influenced by Christianity, but neither of my parents were practicing in any way. There was a general cultural acceptance of Christianity, but I can't really remember going to church or having anything particularly Christian about our home. The one exception to this was my grandmother. She had been married to a pastor (he died long before I was born), and was a consistent Christian witness. Because of my parents' work, my grandmother had a very large part in raising me, and I even lived with her for a year or so.
I did, however, go to Christian schools. And, because I was good at school and proud, I took my Bible classes as just another excuse to do better than those around me, so I learned everything that I could. When I was young, I was probably indistinguishable from the average little kid at a Christian school. I was happy, eager to please, and able to rattle off a string of Bible verses.
Around the age of nine, this all fell apart.
From as far back as I can remember, I have had health problems. Somewhere in elementary school I developed a severe asthma that sent me several times to the hospital. As I grew, birth defects in how my back developed began to become more prominent, and I lived life in a constant state of pain. And then, in third grade, my grandmother died when I was visiting her apartment. My sense of stability was shattered. I didn't know how to cope with this loss. I sank into a bitter depression that didn't lift for years.
On top of this, as I got older, my health didn't get any better. I developed digestive problems that caused rapid weight loss and yet more chronic pain. I sank further and further into depression, becoming numb to the world around me. I was proud. I was bitter. I thought the world hadn't been fair to me. I still held on to school, because it was one of the few areas where I could be better than the people around me, and I placed most of my sense of self in my academic accomplishments. In pride, I began to look down on the people around me. With every year, I withdrew further into myself. When it comes to what I believed at this time, I essentially would have said that life is meaningless and we pretend like it isn't.
But God was kind to not leave me there. The summer after my sophomore year of high school, I moved into the dorms at USC to take a course as part of a program. Now, this was the first time in my life I had been around people who weren't influenced at all by Christianity, and I found myself judging them. After all, I was so much more moral than them, wasn't I? But as the summer went on, something strange happened. I realized that I wasn't any better than them. Half the things I condemned them for doing, I did my self. And for everything else, I either was too scared to do what they did, despite wanting to, or did something equally bad. I was overcome by the realization that I was not a good person.
As I moved back home, guilt weighed heavily on my shoulders, and nothing I could do would shake it. I tried being better. I tried making up for what I did. I even tried punishing myself and enforcing certain kinds of penance. But nothing would make the guilt go away. Nothing made it better. Everything I did felt wrong.
I knew I needed something. In desperation, I asked a friend where her church was. I went on a Friday night for youth group…and I felt even worse. Now, I thought, I was surrounded by people who were better than me. It was hard even to look people in the eye. But I kept coming. There was something there that I needed, though I didn't know what. A few months went by and Christmas vacation arrived. Right before I left, one of the volunteers at the youth group gave me a book to read (Hard to Believe by John MacArthur), so I took it with me on vacation, along with a Bible.
As I was reading the book, I noticed it mentioned this Jesus a lot, so I figured I should check out what the Gospels said about Him. I set aside four nights and read through them in order. And, somewhere in that time, I was changed. I was captivated by this person of Jesus. I realized I felt guilty because I was guilty. I had sinned against God. I deserved punishment. But at the same time, I saw that Jesus came to take my punishment for me and to give me new life. And I repented and believed in Him.
And right there everything changed. The depression that had entangled me for seven years was gone. And although my body wasn't healed (though I still hold out that He may), my outlook on it was different. It was as if the sun shone for the first time in my life.
Since then, God has been kind. He's opened His word to me and carried me through college, seminary, work, and now on to further grad school. He's let me serve in His church and grow not only in teaching, but in living with and for His people. He was even kind enough to use all the Bible things I learned out of pride as a child to humble me and instruct me as I follow Him. I can even say I'm grateful for the pains, because they bit by bit taught me to trust not in myself, but in God who raises the dead and richly supplies every need of ours in Christ Jesus our Lord. He has never been anything but good, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to pursue Him at all, and especially to pursue Him together with you all at GOC this year.← All Posts

David Paulides releases 'Missing 411' documentary

David Paulides—founder of the CanAm Missing Project and author of Missing 411 Hunters: Unexplained Disappearances—is committed to finding missing persons.
Missing 411, a gripping documentary based on the David Paulides book series, is now available on VOD. Missing 411 follows the Tribal Bigfoot author as he investigates several mysterious disappearances that have occurred in national forests and parks all across North America over the past several decades. These unexplained disappearances have baffled detectives, search and rescue experts, and family members. Missing 411 is directed by Michael DeGrazier and Benjamin Paulides.
In a context of almost total indifference, marked by outright hostility, representatives of over a hundred of the world's least powerful countries are currently opening another three-week session of United Nations talks aimed at achieving a legally binding ban on nuclear weapons. Very few people even know this is happening.
Ban nuclear weapons? Ho hum… Let's change the subject.
Fake News: 'The View' Claims Lib Senator Is Victim of Sexist Interruptions
The View is a show that has, for much of its history, profited off of manufactured outrage. Friday's broadcast took a similar turn, when they discussed the multifarious "sexism" embedded in liberal favorite Senator Kamala Harris getting "interrupted" by her fellow Senators. Other supposed examples: Reminding her not to interrupt Attorney General Jeff Sessions who was attempting to answer her question, and being called "hysterical" by a Trump surrogate.
So, a little review for those of you who may be new.
Islam is a political system, NOT a religion, and unless and until humanity wakes the hell up and STOPS referring to it as a religion, there is no hope. Islam is a hyper-aggressive, militaristic, expansionist, totalitarian political system designed to create a super-rich micro-oligarchical ruling class with a massive, destitute, genetically handicapped underclass below. The paper-thin faux-religious facade was a conscious, specific con from the very beginning – much like Mormonism and Scientology – a pure racket using borrowed and piggy-backed religious motifs to lend credibility to a massive, loosely-knit network of crime syndicate cells.
Secrets: That 25-year-old Reality Winner — yes, that's her real name — was caught giving out top-secret information is no great surprise. After all, she is a far-left anti-Trump activist who called him an "orange fascist" and a "piece of s**t," and once tweeted to rapper Kanye West to suggest he make a T-shirt saying "Being white is terrorism." (For the record, Winner is herself white.)
This undated photo provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian A. Terry. Terry was fatally shot north of the Arizona-Mexico border while trying to catch bandits who target illegal immigrants, the leader of a union representing agents said Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2010.
Scientists studying the pattern of circadian rhythms have found that one central body clock could be controlling several others at the same time.
By examining fruit flies – which, like humans, have several circadian clocks affecting the rhythm their daily biological processes – researchers have found evidence of a single 'master' clock that leads all other internal clocks related to sleeping and eating patterns, and various organ functions.
The team says this finally gives experimental proof for the so-called coupled-oscillator model moderating the daily rhythms of our physiology and behaviour.

Kristina Fecik, LMFT
Specialties at a glance: Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem, Life Coaching, Relationships, Premarital Couples Coaching, Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling.
Hi! I am Kristina Fecik a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and owner of Relationships Within Reach, LLC. I provide individual and couples therapy at The Psychology Group Fort Lauderdale.
Relationships Within Reach is a marriage and family therapy practice that was developed with the idea that each person's desires within a relationship are possible to obtain.
Based on my experience in doing therapy with individuals, couples and families, I believe that obstacles can be overcome; goals can be achieved; and situations that appear hopeless, can improve.
In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental environment where problems can be discussed. I seek to understand my clients' concerns, in order to help them identify and make the adjustments necessary for them to achieve their individual, relationship and family goals.
Individual Therapy
Are you searching for happiness within yourself, your relationship, your job or career? Do you feel stagnant? Is there something missing in your life? Where do you want to be in your life and what is getting in the way of you reaching your goals?
By exploring your vision of where you want to be with yourself (more confident, less depressed, more social, less anxious, living a healthier lifestyle), and establishing a set of goals, the relationship you want with whatever you are having a problem with, can be within your reach.
By exploring feelings and obstacles, focusing on future hopes and dreams, and building upon your existing strengths, I can be supportive in helping you get there.
Examples of problems I address in therapy with individuals include the following but are not limited to:
- Depression, Anxiety and Anger Management Issues
- Relationship Issues
- Problems at work or With Family
- Substance Abuse/ Dependence
- Feeling Stuck With Where to go with Future Goals
- Codependency
I have a Master's Degree from Nova Southeastern University's School of Humanities and Social Sciences and I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MT 2854, in the state of Florida. In addition to my private practice, I have worked in a variety of settings with various populations including:

Jasper (NNDC) – A Crawford County man was arrested Monday after police say he threatened to blow up a building at a local plant over the weekend.
Jasper police arrested 24-year old Cody Smith of English at Klem Hospitality at its plant on East 12th Street.
Employees at the plant told police that on Saturday (April 8), Smith said he was going to "blow the place up."
JPD says the employees all said they felt the statements made by Smith were threatening in nature; causing them to fear for their safety. Also, the employees told police they believed Smith was capable of carrying the act out as well.
Smith was arrested Monday morning charged with Intimidation.

In the dawn of time, there was nothing but the great ocean, Laq Ush. In the swirling, bubbling chaos of the ocean, came one creature, known as the Great One.
And the Great One had infinite power, and lowered the oceans, and created dry lands.
But deep in the depths of the ocean, the Dark One also rose. He fought the Great One for a millenia, until finally, the Great One fell. And his body fed the world, and plants grew, and Sahuagin came to eat the plants. Sahuagin developed further to become the land races: among them humans and elves.
The Sahuagin ruled the world for an aeon, and created the Raets, crossbred between the Sahuagin and humans. The Raets fought the Sahuagin, and then fled to deeper depths in the ocean, where they now hide.
From the ocean, more gods emerged, including the Lord of the Raets, known as Naar. Naar overpowered the Dark One, and now he too lies dead, feeding the darkness of the world. And now, the pantheon argues and bickers, and so the Raets are left alone in the world, as the only portal between the Great One and the Ocean.

Back at Google's I/O event this year, we were introduced to many new Android platforms. Namely, Android Wear, Android One and Android Auto. The last of these platforms, Android Auto is extremely interesting to both consumers and Google. In particular, Google sees this platform as a real viable option for growth in the future. This is because consumers spend a regular part of their day in the car. This is constant which occurs day-in and day-out. Not to mention, the Search Giant will have a number of new data acquisition tools with cars, providing details on where consumers stop, how long they stop for, how much gas they purchase and where from. The list goes on.
As such, it is not too difficult to understand that Android Auto is a big deal to Google. However, the reports emerging now is that Android Auto is just the start of what Google has planned for consumer's cars. The problem with Android Auto is that it needs an android smartphone to connect and effectively drive the system. However, unnamed sources have told Reuters (source link below) that the end goal for Google is to bring Android Auto as a direct feature to cars. To be clear, according to the sources Google wants to have Android Auto built into cars in the future. Again, according to the Reuters, this is intended to be part of the next generation of Android, dubbed 'Android M'. As such, android services will be available within cars without the need for a separate internet connection or android device. As you would expect, such software would also allow direct control of navigation as well as entertainment features. This would mean everyone would be using the android platform in their car and irrespective of whether they actually own an android device or not.
In terms of when this might happen, well, as this has not been officially confirmed, no one can know for sure. Although the same sources suggest that it could be as early as a year from now. However, before this happen it does seem there might be issues in bringing a built-in android to the market. Analysts in the Reuters report suggest auto companies might be not so keen to have android services hardwired into their vehicles, for both practical and safety reasons. Not to mention android will need to be improved for instant powering on when the ignition is switched and not the delay we currently experience. So what do you think? Would you like to see android hardwired into vehicles or do you think Android Auto as it currently is (connected to android device needed) is a more suitable option? Let us know.

Incest as trauma has received much recent attention, and psychoanalytic study of its victims indeed illustrates the basic dynamic of internalization of an object relation dominated by hatred. In exploring these psychodynamics we have to keep in mind that the sadomasochistic component of sexual excitement permits the recruitment of aggression in the service of love. But this is a response that, when a sexual response is overwhelmed by rage and hatred, may be transformed into sexual sadomasochism in which love is recruited in the service of aggression. That is, sexual intercourse may become a symbolic gratification of sadomasochistic tendencies, replicating in the sexual area the interactions I have described in relationships dominated by hatred.
Not all sexual abuse is experienced as aggressive; unconscious infantile sexuality, the excitement, gratification, and triumph resulting from breaking oedipal barriers, and the guilt such triumph produces, complicate the psychological effects of sexual abuse. Nevertheless, the distortion of superego structures brought about when cross-generational (in particular, parent-child) incest occurs destroys the potential for integrating sadistic parental images into the superego. The conflict between sexual excitement and guilt is thus transformed into one between frail idealization and overwhelming aggression, creating a truly traumatic situation in which libidinal and aggressive strivings can no longer be differentiated. The unconscious identification with the victimizer and the victim may become confused. The repetition compulsion of incest victims who transform their later sexual life into a chain of traumatophilic experiences often makes it difficult to determine whether the patient was the victim or the victimizer.
In the clinical situation, such incest victims reactivate the identification wit the victim-victimizer dyad and unconsciously attempt to reproduce the traumati situation in order to undo it and to recover the ideal object behind th persecutor. In addition, the repetition compulsion expresses the desire for revenge the rationalization of hatred of the seducer, and the potential sexualizatio of the hatred in the form of efforts to seduce the seducer. The psychoanalytic treatment of incest victims who have had sexual experiences with forme therapists sometimes repeats these experiences with uncanny clarity. Unconsciou envy of the current therapist, not involved in the chaotic mixture of hatred and sexuality in which the patient experiences himself as hopelessly mired, is another source of negative therapeutic reactions.
Recent research by Paris (1994b) confirms the importance of a history of sexual abuse in patients with borderline personality disorder as well as their tendency toward dissociative reactions. Paris also points out that a predisposition to dissociative reactions does not seem to be secondary to sexual trauma. In clinical practice, both types of problems are seen together with some frequency. Some borderline patients present dissociative reactions in the form of amnesias, depersonalization states, and even multiple personalities, of which the patients are cognitively aware but which are affectively split.
What is often striking in such dissociative states is the patient's remarkable indifference to what seems to be a dramatic psychopathological phenomenon: Indeed, some patients present an almost defiant affirmation of the "autonomy" of their split-off personalities while refusing to consider any personal responsibility for these phenomena. Often, the mutual dissociation of alternate personality states raises the question of why some apparently not incongruous personality states appear to be split from each other.
In my experience, when the clinician asks how the patient's central personality, her sense of awareness, concern, and responsibility, relates to these split-off personality states, this immediately triggers a new development in the transference. Many patients develop a paranoid reaction to such inquiry; this evolves into a specific transference disposition in which the therapist appears as a persecutory figure in contrast to other persons in the patient's life, including other therapists, who are idealized as helpful, tolerant, nonquestioning, admiring, and supportive. The patient's alternate personality states take on more specific meanings in relation to such split object representations, permitting a clarification of the function of such split states in the transference. In short, approaching the patient from the position of an assumed observing, central, "categorical" self illuminates hidden splits in the transference and permits exploration of the unconscious dynamics involved in the split personality state that are obscured by the usual, apparently untroubled enactment of such states.
The patient now may be tempted to angrily accuse the therapist of not believing in the existence of his multiple personalities. The therapist's concerned and neutral stand—being interested in the patient's experience, not questioning its authenticity, but at the same time evaluating the implications for the patient's central self-experience—gradually permits the patient to increase his self-observing function in contrast to the previous defensive denial of concern and what might be called blind enactment of dissociative states.
In severe personality disorders, the approach I have just outlined transforms what appears to be a dreamlike, often apparently affectless dramatization into a concrete object relation in which intense rage and hatred emerge, split off from other idealized object relations. Once the emergence of mutually split-off peak affect states in the context of split-off primitive object relations becomes evident in the transference, the intepretive integration of these developments may proceed.
This approach contrasts with a tendency on the part of some therapists to explore each dissociated personality state while respecting its split-off condition, bypassing the defensive denial of concern about this condition. I believe that such an approach tends to prolong the dissociative condition itself unnecessarily and may aggravate it.
When such dissociative reactions occur in the context of real or fantasied past incest or sexual abuse, a similar defensive denial of concern for the nature of the dissociative process may often be observed. Such a development contrasts markedly with cases in which, under psychoanalytic exploration, repressed memories of past sexual abuse, including incest, are uncovered, leading to a traumatic emotional reaction that colors the psychotherapeutic relationship for perhaps several months and is gradually worked through. In this latter case, characteristics of a post-traumatic stress syndrome may emerge in the psychotherapeutic relationship; the patient shows great concern for himself, intense ambivalence in relation to the abuser, and ambivalence regarding his own past and present sexuality. The elaboration of such a traumatic recovery of memory contrasts sharply with the long-term repetitive evocation of past traumatic sexual experiences in the context of a present-day expression of hatred, disgust, and revulsion linked to the patient's sexual life in general or to all persons of the gender of the traumatizing agent.
In such cases, particularly when traumatic sexual memories appear repeatedly in the context of dissociative ego states, a characteristic lack of concern, denial, or dramatic indifference toward the dissociative process may also be present. The patient may insist on engaging the therapist as a "witness" or support figure in the struggle against a hated and feared sexual object. In the transference, the therapist may be identified with either the abusing object or a conspiratorial helper (for example, the "innocent bystander" mother, who, in subtle or not-so-subtle ways, protected an incestuous father).
Here again, the world seems to be split between those who side with the traumatizing object and those who support the patient's wishes for a vengeful campaign against that object. Because of the current cultural concerns about sexual abuse, the patient's split world of object relations may be rationalized in a conventional ideology that confirms and maintains his condition as a victim.
I have found it very helpful to ask the patient what keeps the hatred alive in his life and what its functions are in his current conflicts. When the fact of past sexual abuse is unclear, even in the patient's mind, the patient may insistently demand the therapist's confirmation of his suspicions. The therapist's stance— that the patient's experiences are real in their present quality and that the patient himself will eventually be able to clarify and gain understanding of and control over the internal past—often raises the same intensity of suspicion and rage in the transference as do attempts to clarify the relation between the patient's central self-experience and a dissociative state. In other words, the patient may not be able to tolerate the therapist's concerned but neutral position, which runs counter to the overriding need to divide the world into allies and enemies. The therapist's consistent interpretation of the patient's need to maintain such split relations will eventually, under optimal conditions, permit more specific focus on the enactment of the relationship between victimizer and victim, with frequent role reversals, in the transference. This permits analysis of the patient's unconscious identification with the victimizer as well as with the victim role as the major dynamic that maintains the characterologically anchored hatred.
A positive consequence of such a therapeutic approach is the gradual liberation of the patient's sexual life from its infiltration by unrecognized, unmetabolized hatred. The revulsion against sexuality in victims of early sexual abuse has many roots: The invasion of their psychic and physical boundaries is experienced as a violent attack; the transformation of a person in a parental function into a sexual abuser is experienced as sadistic treason, in addition to disorganizing the early buildup of an integrated if primitive superego. The reprojection of early persecutory superego precursors in the form of paranoid tendencies intensifies yet more the aggressive implications of a sexual attack and weakens the capacity for any trusting relationship.
Unconscious guilt arising from the activation of the patient's own sexual impulses in the context of sexual seduction and abuse increases this revulsion against all sexuality and the temptation to reproject such guilt feelings, thus reinforcing the patient's paranoid approach to sexual objects and repression of sexual wishes, fantasies, and experiences. If traumatized victims of concentration camps or torture have to reencounter awareness of their own sadistic tendencies as they discover their unconscious identification with both victim and victimizer, the victims of sexual abuse have to reencounter an awareness of their own sexuality in unconscious identification with both the self and the object of the traumatic experience. The treatment cannot be completed if such a reencounter has not been achieved. Stoller's (1985) understanding of the nature of erotic excitement as an early fusion of sensuous experience and unconscious identification with an aggressive object—in other words, the erotic roots of polymorphous perverse sadomasochism—is relevant in this connection. At some point, a toned-down, tolerable sadomasochistic tendency should become available for retranslation into a language of erotic fantasies, opening up the polymorphous perverse component of adult genital sexuality.

Make Public Talking A Valuable Talent You Can Use... Advice Number 28 From 794
One of the best ways to learn is to watch. Do a little research. Think about the best public speakers in history, then watch videos of them making speeches. You can learn a lot when you focus on their mannerisms and the way they address the audience. Try to emulate those skills.

We took a look at this book already here and I'm SO happy to tell you what I think about it 🙂
This sizzling, feel-good holiday novella introduces USA Today bestselling author Susan Stephens' all-new Black-Heart series.
Fabulously wealthy entrepreneur Jason Kent hates Christmas.
What Jason wants, Jason gets—which means solitude over the holidays to give him chance plot his next mega-value business deal.
Content in his luxurious penthouse apartment Jason is not prepared for the arrival of the whirlwind of change and challenge that is Ms Kate Black.
Enter Kate—no-nonsense sheep farmer's daughter from the North of England.
House-sitting for a member of the British aristocracy over the holidays, Kate refuses to sit back and do nothing when she learns that people in her block are going to be on their own over Christmas. Aided by the scruffy little yappy dog she has also taken on, Kate makes it her mission to bring everyone in her snooty building together.
Working flat out to throw the party of the year, Kate meets an unexpected obstacle in the form of a man who turns her sturdy bones to jelly. With her no nonsense attitude to sex, Kate soon finds that she is a lot more deeply involved than she had intended to become with a man whose appetite for life might match her own, but who travels on a very different track.
Christmas with the Billionaire is a quick read, fun and sweet, and full of holiday cheer. Novella in length it is a good set up to the new world that Stephens in creating. Mostly we spend time with just Jason and Kate but it does give a glimpse at possible future characters.
Watching Jason and Kate create sparks off each other is oh-so-entertaining. Seeming very different on the outside, as we get to know them we see that not only do they complement each other well but they also have much more in common than it seems. Both are hard-working, caring and dedicated. Jason feels a need to hide his heart whereas Kate shows things a whole lot more. As they fall for each other they take readers along for a very enjoyable ride. My only complaint might be that we weren't given enough of Jason's history, so that his falling for Kate would be a little more magical. BUT I must say that I did so very much love the falling for part.
Christmas with the Billionaire is a sugar-coated, full-of-sprinkles treat.

Political Commentary
My quick ideas:
I was surprised Obama won in Iowa.
I was pissed about the big deal made of Clinton's show of emotion.
I was surprised Clinton won in New Hampshire.
Ummm, where the hell did Mike Huckabee come from?
Who the hell are the candidates for the two big parties going to be?
And showcasing my political ignorance: What is the big deal about caucuses and primaries? I know what they are. I understand to a certain extent why they're important for judging the proverbial lay of the land, but it seems like a lot of time and effort are expended on these things. Is it worth it?
Thoughts? Observations? School me!
2 comments:
yes, the big deal about clinton's so called sobbing annoyed me as well. i too was happily surprised that obama won and i must say he is my preferred candidate at this point. in terms of primaries, i am excited by them, but i am a big dork. i do think that some things are unfair in the primary process, like the time given to certain candidates.

As someone who hates ALL the current candidates (as well as all the ones that dropped out), let me say that the answer is: who knows who's going to win? I would say that Fred Thompson is probably NOT going to be the Republican nominee, and that John Edwards is probably NOT going to be the Democratic nominee. But other than that, who knows? We should have a clearer picture of the Republican race after this next primary in Michigan, which will likely knock Romney out of serious contention; McCain or Huckabee will emerge as the candidate to beat, depending on which of them wins in MI, and the other one will likely become his major opponent, unless Giuliani claws back into the race, which I doubt. On the Dem side, it's a two-person race now, but who knows who's going to win.
OT, I've mentioned you, albeit in passing, in my latest post.

Patriotism and Nation Building
Perspectives from the Life and Utterances of Ephraim Amu
The deepest and most significant aspect of the heritage of any nation lies in her people. A people's dignity, worth and value can be measured by their human resources. More important than mineral wealth, more significant than financial capital and of more value than land and property, are the leaders of thought and character, that a communal or social group can lay claim to. Towering above the tallest buildings, reaching deeper than the roots of ancient trees, are society's icons, doyens of a people's life and culture. Often unrecognized in their lifetime, sometimes vilified or else silenced by political forces, these persons represent a people's legacy and gift to humankind. Such was Dr. Ephraim Amu, native of Peki Avetile, son of West Africa's "Gold Coast", scholar, teacher, musician, ethicist, and preacher.
In this book, Prof. Laryea has by careful and detailed research, rendered an invaluable service to posterity in unearthing and making available the life, works and public speeches of Dr Ephraim Amu. Thoughtfully selecting over sixty of Amu's sermons spanning a period of 50 years (1937 - 1986), Laryea enables us to more deeply enter the inner thoughts and expressions of one of Ghana's most illustrious sons, thus allowing us into the veritable engine room of the composer of Ghana's national song, "Yân ara asase ni", crafted by Amu in 1929. In doing so he has also opened up and thrown light upon very significant periods in the nation's history.
ISBN 9789988647100 | 400 pages | 229 x 152mm | 2017 | Sub-Saharan Publishers, Ghana | Paperback
"This book, a collection of sixty-five sermons and addresses in English, together with the studies of context, method and style which characterize them is unquestionably a national asset with international implications. It represents an excellent example of historical, sociological and theological research much needed in the restoration of dignity and value to a people in search of authenticity, one of Dr. Amu's cherished values. I recommend it to be read by all, especially those interested in African Personhood, Christianity in Africa, African Christian Social Ethics, Preaching, Worship and Practical Theology"
- Emmanuel Yartekwei Amugi Lartey L. Bevel Jones III, Emory University, Atlanta, GA
"Brilliant! highly readable, well-sectioned, rich in documentation, analytical and full of fascinating insights into the potential of Culture to inspire self-assurance, and patriotism as props for the task of nation-building. The book will resonate with all who are irked by the prevailing traumas of corruption, selfishness and greed in our society today."
- Robert Addo Fening Retired Professor of History and former Head of History Department, University of Ghana, Legon

About US
We begin doing business in the coin collecting community in 1972 and have over the years expanded our horizons to help stamp collectors build their collections as well as aiding those interested in comic collecting, ephemera, first edition books, magazines, movie posters and lobby cards, movie, TV,literary,historical and sports star autographs, toys and other collectible areas.
The normal collector can not afford and in most cases are not interested in the unrealistically high valued collectables that appear in today's markets, both on-line and in brick and mortar.
Unlike these sites, Realoldstuff offers all types of collectables in a variety of categories and conditions that can be obtained for your prized collection at affordable prices.
We offer not only rare items, but also more common items you may be interested in, or need to complete your collection. Most sites do not offer more common items since they are only interested in high dollar items and profits. We, on the other hand cater to the true collector offering a wide variety of pieces in a range of conditions.
We do not just provide items that are popularly collected, but also seek out and offer items in areas of interest that that are not necessarily extensively collected.
We continually add new and different items to our present available categories. We add additional items and categories as we come across more exciting, collectible or unique offerings. We don't try to offer everything available, just those items in collectible conditions in good condition, that may be of interest for collect-ability, rarity or curiosity.

text: I'm finally on my way to winter. I managed to avoid the winter for almost all of last year and now I'm headed right to the heart of it in Australia. Well, it's not winter like Colorado, no snow and temperatures in the 50s and 60s but still. I have 4 flights to get to Worlds, 2 are in the books and 2 more to go. I would almost say the first one out of Durango is the most important, it's easy to get stuck there when things go wrong. Now that I'm in LA, even the plane breaks they will fix it or we will just get a new one. There are flights every hour to Canberra and worst case it's only a 3 hour drive from Sydney on the wrong side of the road.

Quote for the Week
"He conquers who endures." So said Persius, as in Aulus Persius Flaccus of Volterra, a town in the Tuscany region of Italy. Persius, a Roman poet and satirist whose work is generally best remembered for its interpretation of Roman Stoicism.
Stoicism, a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded in Athens by Zeno in the early 3rd century BC, was based on the belief that destructive emotions were the result of errors in judgment. Stoics thought that a wise person, a sage, was not subject to negative emotions and was therefore free of misfortune. If only.
Born Stoic
Personally, I think Persius may have developed a stoic wisdom at a young age as a result of losing his father when he was 6, and then his stepfather a few years later. By the age of 12, he'd been sent to Rome to study. Perhaps his written work and his fascination with Stoicism were a result of those early losses. After all, writers write what they know. One loses, and one either rises above the devastation or sinks beneath its weight.
"He conquers who endures."
This past week has been difficult. That's why both my blogs lie fallow. This is just the beginning of a medical odyssey that, more than likely, won't be completed until next year. However, we are in endurance mode.
My daughter, my husband, and I are trying to do. We're trying to endure my daughter's medical problems and complications and just hang on, giving time to heal and restore health. Of course, more surgery and expert doctors figure into the equation along with a huge quantity of God's grace.
Takeaway Truth
We can get bitter at what life throws our way, or we can get better at dealing with it. The choice is always ours.
