Chapter One: Play With Fire
The cold wind splintered her skin as she fought her way through the arctic winds. Her body was starting to stiffen slightly from the harsh air, whipping against her skin. She hugged the fur close to her as she approached the mountain where she would soon enter into her dark abode. Within mere moments she started to see the torches of light, signaling to the goddess that the earth was shifting to allow her entry to her destination. The bright smile was long gone from her lips as the thought of returning to what she called "home" crossed her mind. But still she walked further, almost running toward the opening in the bottom of the mountain to seek cover from the winds.
Before she knew it, the earth was closing behind her. The wind was no longer blowing against her skin. Out of breath, the goddess stopped, leaning against the cool rock to let herself rest momentarily. Still, she held the fur to her body, clutching the soft fur in her fingers. She closed her eyes, slightly thankful for the earth keeping her safe once again from the approaching winter winds. Every year it felt more and more cold but still she made the same trek to the mountain that opened to let her enter into the world beneath. She would return to the darkness and did her best to keep her head held high as her mother taught her.
As soon as her legs could travel again, her feet begun to move. It wasn't long that she found herself walking the path toward the large dark fortress that she called home. Her eyes glanced down toward Erebus, the place where souls first went after their deaths. A sight she was used to but still felt uncomfortable with. She took a deep breathe, turning her gaze to the entrance to the 'Black Palace', as she called it. Torches lit up the dark colored rocks that lined the entrance, causing a glow against her skin.
The palace was unusually quiet; that worried the young goddess. Normally she could hear the orderings of her husband to the others, especially to Charon and the Fates. She didn't even hear the footsteps of the others as they ushered around the fortress doing their daily chores and errands. But nonetheless, she continued on, quickly seeking out her chambers. She longed for the warmth of her bunk and the roaring fire that seemed eternally lit within the pit in her chambers. The soft flesh of her fingers caressed the hard wood as she pushed open the doors to her chambers. The doors closed quickly behind her as she let the fur fall from her body in a heap at the top of the stairs before descending toward her bed.
"You are late." The words came so quick, so harsh that she jerked around by the sound of the familiar voice. Her eyes searched the dimly lit bedchamber. Hastily she scanned before the shadow within the corner of the room became clear. The silhouette slowly moved forward becoming a figure. Her eyes quickly narrowed at the sight.
"So I am." She said with a shrug as she watched the figure appear completely, stepping into the light of the fire that roared in the center of the room. His long dark hair cascaded over his shoulders, the black locks flowing like sheets across his pale skinned arms and shoulders but through the opening of his hair, she could see his unjust upon his face. "What's it to you?" She grumbled.
Letting out a slight growl, "You are my queen, my wife. I demand your reasoning."
"You do not own me, Hades. I may be your queen but that is it." Persephone snarled.
Within seconds, Hades had moved to her side, gripping her wrist in his hand. Persephone struggled against him, trying to slip her slender wrist from his large hands. The goddess of spring was no match for the god of death and riches. Through the struggle, he gripped her other wrist and pulled her to him, his gaze bearing into hers.
"You dare to speak to me with such coarseness. Hear me now, my queen: I am the king. You will adhere to my will or you will join your ancestors in Tartarus." Hades warned his wife.
Instantly, Persephone was trying to hold back her trembling hands. She feared Hades at times like this. Other times she took pity on the god who seemed so incapable of love. At this moment, she wanted to throw him in the river Styx and watch the lost souls tug at him.
"Let me go." Persephone demanded as she finally slipped one wrist from his grasp but with his other, Hades pushed Persephone back causing her to fall onto the platform beside her bed. She landed on her bottom and her hands, breaking her fall slightly. Cranking her head upward, her eyes were filled with anger.
Hades looked down upon his wife, "You will learn obedience goddess. My brother promised me a wife and a queen. You will be a queen to your subjects but to me, you are my wife." With that, Hades turned on his heel and stormed out of the room.
Persephone turned her head quickly, looking downward as she let out the breath she seemingly had been holding in, causing her to gasp hardly. In minutes she had pulled herself from the cold stone floor and fell back against her bed. She curled into the fetal position, hugging her hides against her body. Persephone closed her eyes, wishing she could wake up from this nightmare as she slowly slipped into sleep.
The feeling of warmth licking against her body woke Persephone from her sudden yet deep slumber. She begun to stir as she felt fingertips against her skin. Her eyes fluttered open slowly before she turned her head to the side to see what the intrusion was. Slightly surprised, it was Hades. His strong, calloused fingertips caressed Persephone's soft skin where he had grabbed her before. She watched him as he seemed so in awe of her. His pale fingers were a stark contrast to her tanned olive skin. Slowly she reached out for his fingers with her own, bringing his fingers to her lips to kiss.
"My sincerest, my darling." Hades' raspy yet lulling voice came. "I did not wish to frighten you." He leaned in, kissing the back of Persephone's shoulder gently. "Months away from you have driven me to my darkest depths." Hades admitted to his wife.
Persephone sighed heavily. "As a god of the dark I would never expect you to be gentle, my love." She whispered before kissing his palm.
It was the dim truth but she had come to love this man who abducted her, forced her to stay in this hell for a short while, even causing her to want to stay at times. But her husband, her king, was not the easiest person to please.
"Must you be so cruel?" Persephone asked, her eyes looking up into Hades'.
"I do not mean such cruelty." Hades sighed. "You are my queen, Persephone. I can not fully enjoy my kingdom without my queen." Hades replied.
Slowly his fingertips were dragging down her side to her hip where the slit in her peplos revealed the delicious top of her thigh, his other hand was unfastening the golden rope that kept the cloth by her shoulder together.
Persephone's breath quickened, her eyes slowly closing. Hades hands were slow and agonizing but the expert touch of his fingers made the wait worth her while. It was nights such as these when she would have given anything to be with her husband forever. She would do anything for the man she called her king. But these nights also tore her to pieces more and more for the want to no longer leave her love grew.
But something that night wasn't right. In the midst of her ecstasy, Persephone's eyes slighted her, playing tricks on her. When the peak of their passion was over and Hades went to fetch wine for them to drink, the moment he left her side in their bed, she swore the man that looked into her eyes was that of her father. She merely shrugged it away as sleep won it's battle and her slumber came once more.
When she awoke the next morning, Persephone was disturbed by loud shouting coming from down the hall. A voice boomed so loud that it shook her bed. She sat up quickly, pulling her black peplos over her and left her room to see what the fuss was. Quite hastily she found Hades in a bit of a heated argument with Hermes. Persephone stood in the corridor, leaning against the cool stone wall to hide from her husband or Hermes from spotting her as she listened to their boiling discussion.
"I do not care who has threatened my dear brother, Father is incapable of escaping his bounds. Zeus and I made sure of that when we sent him and the rest of the titans into their abyss." Hades growled.
"My liege, I am merely doing as father has asked of me and I do not think this is something to breathe lightly about. If Cronus and the others escape, you and Zeus will be the first they will seek out." Hermes warned his uncle.
"And you may assure my brother that they are well kept and tightly bound." Hades boomed once more.
Even his words made Persephone jump slightly.
"Father still wishes to seek council with you, my king. It is important for you to reassure him yourself for I am merely a messenger." Hermes sighed. "Please, call for me when you are ready with your answer." With that, the god was gone.
Persephone frowned. Answer? Answer for what?
"Come out, dear wife. I feel the pulsing of your heart." Hades suddenly spoke.
Persephone slowly moved down the corridor, revealing herself. The look on Hades face made her a tad frightened. He didn't seem pleased one bit.
She approached him with caution. "I apologize." Persephone said softly before placing her palm gently against his cool skin. "I did not mean to pry." Persephone tried to smile a little.
Hades shrugged her fingers from his skin. "You wish to make matters worse after last night?" Hades growled.
"What do you mean?" Persephone asked, confused now. "I thought-"
"You know you must return before sundown and yet you still come back when the moon is high. You have duties as my wife and as Queen of the Underworld. Your duty is to be at my side when you are needed." Hades' voice seemed to grow louder with each word. "You are young, my queen but you need to learn your place in my kingdom."
Persephone was at a loss for words at that moment. Last night he seemed so gentle and loving... maybe too gentle. Her heart beat begun to beat faster as she tried to wrap her mind around then and now.
"What happened to my husband? What happened to last evening?" Persephone asked. "You mustn't play these tricks. I am not as soft as you like to portray me to be, Hades and I will not take your incessant erratic behavior!" Persephone shouted.
Hades' hand flew to grab Persephone's chin. "You raise your voice to me?"
Persephone pushed his hand away. "You are a cruel and viscous god." Persephone whimpered as the tears glittered her eyes. "I am not one of your souls! You wanted me here! You wanted me to love you! You fool." Persephone wiped away one eye with the back of her hand. "How can you take someone away from love and warmth when you yourself are so incapable of such feelings!" Persephone shouted once more.
Softly, she let out a sob. But just as quickly as she let it out, her hands covered her eyes. It was only mere seconds later that she felt his embrace causing Persephone to flinch.
"I am sorry." Hades sighed as he pushed her hair away from her face. "I am a fool." With that he kissed her forehead.
Hades often wondered where the rage had come from and toward Persephone. She was every bit right. He forced her to stay and for what? For a king to abuse her? For a husband to neglect the very fiber of her being?
"I worry, my love." Persephone whispered through her tears. She looked up into Hades' eyes. "You wish for me to be the queen you need but yet you dismiss my every wish unless granted by you. Let me be the queen that you need me to be without question."
"You must understand, dear Persephone, it is not easy for me to show the same love and want as you or as mortal men do, but you are right." Hades cupped her swollen face in his palms. "I do not wish to make you despise me anymore than you already do." Hades cracked a slight smile, wiping the tears from her cheeks.
"Nights like the last you confuse me more and more." Persephone whispered once more.
"Last night?" Hades asked curiously. "When you had returned?"
Persephone shook her head no. "When you woke me."
"I didn't wake you last evening, Persephone."

PTSD and communication
See also: Communication with rape victims
Some therapists who work with trauma patients are working on "integrating both verbal and nonverbal therapy with a client with severe anxiety and depression." (McNamee, 2004) The reason for this is the way the brain works. The right brain works with images and the left brain works with logic and words. PTSD victims temporarily loose functioning (essentially) in the left side of the brain. The creative, image oriented side has to take over those functions. That makes logic more difficult. This is due to the passage between the two sides (corpus callosum) being damaged by PTSD. (Villarreal, G. et.al., 2004) , (Seritan, 2005). There is also new evidence that PTSD patients actually store traumatic memories in image form in a different part of the brain than normal memories. (Turner, 2004)

Norman, Judith. (2000). CONSTRUCTIVE NARRATIVE IN ARRESTING THE IMPACT OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. By: Clinical Social Work Journal. 28 (3). p303-319, 17p. link
Research and clinical practice in social work have historically recognized a strengths perspective. More recently, the role of a constructivist perspective has been discussed in social work education and practice. Narrative construction for the stress disordered client reflects both perspectives. Social workers can listen for and, with clients, identify strengths, survivorship, and resilience as the stories of trauma and victimization are told. Attending to the language of strength and survivorship can actually yield realistic treatment goals. A model of collaborative conceptualization of the problem and target goals is presented with the intended focus of this paper being to encourage the telling and adaptive retelling of the story of trauma. The author shares examples of language and communication given by clients in the adaptive description of traumatic experiences which form the foundation of ongoing healing.
Does writing reduce posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms? Deters, Pamela B.; Range, Lillian M.; Violence and Victims, Vol 18(5), Oct 2003. pp. 569-580. link
To see if writing about their trauma lessened PTSD and related symptoms, 57 undergraduates, previously screened for traumatic experiences, wrote for 15 minutes on 4 days across 2 weeks about either their trauma or a trivial topic. They reported PTSD, impact, suicide ideas, dissociation, and depression pre-, post-, and at 6-week follow-up testing. Trauma and trivial writers were not different. Surprisingly, at follow-up everyone reported less severe PTSD symptoms, impact, and dissociation, and fewer health visits, but about the same suicidal ideation and depression. On PTSD symptoms and impact, the pattern of improvement was different: Those writing about trauma got worse at posttesting, but improved to better than their initial state by follow-up. Those writing about a trivial topic got better by posttesting, and held that position at follow-up. In this project, writing seemed to reduce PTSD symptoms regardless of whether it concerned the trauma or what they ate for lunch.

Examined evoked response potentials (ERPs) to angry and neutral faces in 15 individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD; mean age 35.8 yrs) and 15 age and sex-matched controls (mean age 26.2 yrs) over temporal (T5,T6) and occipital (O1,O2) regions. 20 faces with an angry expression were alternated with 20 faces with a neutral emotional expression. There were significantly larger early negative (N110) and late negative (N650) ERP components in controls to the angry compared to the neutral faces. The PTSD group did not display ERP differences between angry and neutral faces, and the amplitude of their negative waveforms were reduced relative to controls. It is concluded that these findings may reflect adaptive, rapid responding to potential threat in the controls, and a reduced capacity to discriminate between non-threat and generalized threat stimuli in PTSD.

In: The writing cure: How expressive writing promotes health and emotional well-being. Lepore, Stephen J.; Smyth, Joshua M.; Washington, DC, US: American Psychological Association, 2002. pp. 215-238. link
(from the chapter) This chapter provides a detailed discussion of an ongoing program of research, the Amsterdam Writing Project, which includes clinical trials of expressive writing interventions and a novel Internet-based approach ("Interapy") for delivering mental health services that was born out of these trials. After describing this approach to using structured writing assignments in clinical practice, the authors describe experiments that evaluate the outcome of writing assignments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients and the role of habituation vs cognitive reappraisal in the process of overcoming trauma and grief. One study permitted the authors to investigate the importance of social sharing. The third part of the study describes how the authors translated the face-to-face protocol into an interactive format for writing therapy through the Internet.
Brown, Elissa J.; Heimberg, Richard G. (2001). Effects of writing about rape: Evaluating Pennebaker's paradigm with a severe trauma. ; Journal of Traumatic Stress. 14(4). pp. 781-790. link
Examined the effect of disclosing to others an attempted or completed rape, using Pennebaker's disclosure paradigm. 85 undergraduate women who acknowledged attempted or completed rape wrote about their experience and read their narratives. In a 2 × 2 design, the value of writing only factual information versus factual plus emotional information, and reading to oneself versus reading aloud to another woman was examined. Before and 1-mo after the task, symptoms of dysphoria, social anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder were assessed. Greater detail and a moderate level of personalization in the description of the trauma were associated with decreased symptoms of dysphoria and social anxiety. Neither the nature of the writing task nor the presence of another woman predicted degree of symptom reduction.
Mallay, Jane Neily, StressArt Services, Sarnia.(2002). Art therapy, an effective outreach intervention with traumatized children with suspected acquired brain injury. Arts in Psychotherapy. 29(3) link
Discusses the use of art therapy in treating children with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and present a case study. PTSD is a relatively new diagnosis for children, with responses including depression, anxiety, fearfulness, sleep-eating disturbances, and cognitions of self-blame and feeling damaged. Goals of therapy with PTSD children include reestablishing boundaries, feelings of safety, control, and body integrity, working on emotion ranges, removing self-blame, and putting the event and system involvement in context. Art psychotherapy is appropriate in these cases, with its capabilities to assist with expression and provide verbal support in a psychotherapeutic style. The case of a male (aged 10 yrs) who experienced trauma related to being hit by an automobile shows the value of art psychotherapy in cases of pediatric PTSD.

Communication and rape victims
Using both sides of the brain: Experiences that integrate art and talk therapy through scribble drawings. McNamee, Carole M.; Art Therapy, Vol 21(3), 2004. pp. 136-142. link
Neuroscience researchers identify a cerebral cortex with two functioning hemispheres: a left hemisphere associated with language and speech and a. right hemisphere associated with visual-motor activities. Additionally, neuroscientists argue that contemporary lifestyles favor the verbal, logical left brain and often ignore the truths that present in the right brain. Psychotherapy techniques range in their use of left-brain verbal discourse and right-brain nonverbal discourse. In a case study, the author describes experiences integrating both verbal and nonverbal therapy with a client with severe anxiety and depression. Nonverbal therapy involved annotated scribble drawings. Images in the drawings became the stimuli for verbal discourse with the client. Other client responses to the annotated scribble drawings are described.
Use of drawing technique to encourage verbalization in adult survivor of sexual abuse. Lev-Wiesel, Rachel; Arts in Psychotherapy, Vol 25(4), 1998. pp. 257-262. link
Demonstrates the effectiveness
of drawings (art therapy) in encouraging an adult survivor of childhood
sexual abuse to speak about the past traumatic experiences. This ability
to speak up not only breaks the conspiracy of family members to keep the
secret, but also enables the victim to deal with negative feelings toward
himself/herself and his/her parents. The drawing technique is illustrated
in 4 therapeutic sessions (out of 24) with an adult female who was sexually
abused by her father in childhood.
This article describes a method
for the holistic assessment of rape victims. This method consists of assessing
the effect the rape has on the victims'affective, cognitive and behavioural
functioning. By assessing the severity of the trauma in these areas counsellors
are able to develop appropriate treatment strategies.
Art speaks in healing survivors of war: The use of art therapy in treating trauma survivors. Baker, Barbara Ann; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma, Vol 12(1-2), 2006. pp. 183-198.
Mental health clinics can use creative art therapies as a means of reaching out to war refugees in their communities who may not respond to traditional talk therapy. In this case, the use of quilting and other artwork was utilized by the staff at Chicago Health Outreach to assist displaced Bosnians to cope with their war-related trauma and integration into their new environment in the United States. It can be difficult to reach refugee populations within a community whose culture and language are different from the majority, but finding other means of communicating can make a real difference for these individuals as they find safety and understanding by working on and sharing special creative projects.
The healing art: The integration of art therapy into the modern psychoanalytic approach. Sharon, Ruth Velikorsky; Dissertation Abstracts International: Section B: The Sciences and Engineering, Vol 65(7-B), 2005. pp. 3724.
In this study I want to illustrate how the production of drawings and written associations of a patient in the psychoanalytic framework can be a springboard for progressive verbalization and communication. It is helpful because it can facilitate the expression of pre-verbal and non-verbal material. Experiences of the patient, before the age of language acquisition, fall into this category. I will do this using a case study approach, by presenting the case of Rachel, a preoedipal patient whom I treated through the use of art in the psychoanalytic framework. Her case will be presented, and the repetitive material which signalled the presence of the resistance and the unconscious material in her art work and written associations to it will be summarized and explored. I will discuss the presence of the transference, countertransference, and resistance in our therapeutic relationship-as present in her work, her actions, and her behavior as treatment progressed. My purpose in doing that is to explore the ways in which the use of art effected those elements. I also hope to open this field for more research in this area.
This research was designed to explore what happens in the process of therapy when clients, having persisting symptoms of sexual abuse and having disclosed that abuse, have access to a wide variety of art materials to select and use in treatment. A blend of qualitative and quantitative research in design, the study is an initial step towards a greater understanding of the potentially transformative experience of art making and the role of art mediums in the practice of therapy. Treatment for abuse is a long, complex and arduous process. Persistent aspects of abusive experience remain deeply buried within the body and cause periodic, cyclical, somatic and psychological problems in an individual's life. Clients often feel words are too immediate and too explicit to describe the experience and the resulting emotional response generated by sexual abuse. Created within the context of what psychiatrist Winnicott (1971) described as the "good enough" therapeutic relationship, artwork may be viewed as more concrete and symbolic, or less immediately explicit and therefore safer than verbal communications. Sensory-based therapies such as art therapy are, therefore, particularly useful in accessing traumatic memories and transforming the experience to a less damaging state. For this study, the author set up private practice to work as therapist with eight individuals for eight fifty-five minute sessions in a traditional art therapy studio. Each session was documented on videotape. Artwork was photographed. Videotapes, artwork, intake histories and the researcher/therapist's notes were analyzed. Brief case studies were developed. Data were considered by frequencies and ordinal comparisons for immerging patterns. The data described art mediums as accessing cognitive, symbolic, emotional, perceptual, kinesthetic and sensory levels of understanding. A spiral model facilitated understanding the process. The potential to pace the process of therapy by direction and selection of more or less mediated, fluid and controllable art mediums was shown to exist. Through the spatial and kinesthetic processes of art making in art therapy, the individual controls recollection, comprehension, integration and resolution of trauma. Art mediums are central in art therapy as they safely provide the means of expression and reflection to transform trauma in the bodymind.
(from the jacket) Art can be an invaluable means of communication. It can bypass language and hearing impairment and become a means of communicating thoughts or feelings too difficult to express with words. This book uses three original art assessments that use stimulus drawings to elicit response drawings that provide access to a patient's emotions and attitudes toward themselves and others while testing for the ability to solve problems and convey ideas. Each assessment includes studies of reliability, validity, and normative data, drawing on international research in the field and on the author's own body of work spanning more than forty years. Stimulus drawings are provided as well as drawing from imagination tasks, and rating scales to assess emotional and cognitive content.
Arts as language: Access to thoughts and feelings through stimulus drawings. Silver, Rawley; New York, NY, US: Brunner-Routledge, 2001. xix, 187 pp.
(from the cover) Discusses the use of the visual medium as a linguistic parallel to verbal or written communication. While recognizing that language expands and facilitates thought, the author illustrates the existence of high-level thinking in its absence and demonstrates the usefulness of drawing as an expressional tool for patients who are unable, or unwilling, to express themselves through the conventional use of language. Covering areas such as cognition, creativity, and emotion, this book provides the reader with an introduction to and explanation of stimulus drawing assessment. In this approach, drawings serve as the principal channel for the exchange of ideas. Stimulus drawings are provided to the patient to evoke a response drawing. These response drawings allow patients to sketch their fantasies, thus allowing some sort of gratification. The drawings may also serve as a means of acceptably expressing feelings the patient deems inappropriate, such as fear or anger. Reviews of qualitative and quantitative studies follow the introduction. By reviewing studies of children, adolescents, and adults suffering form various impairments and injuries, the author shows the broad applicability of stimulus drawing assessments.
Mandala artwork by clients with DID: Clinical observations based on two theoretical models. Cox, Carol Thayer; Cohen, Barry M.; Art Therapy, Vol 17(3), 2000. pp. 195-201.
The authors have explored the compositional patterns and thematic imagery in mandala drawings by a large group of patients diagnosed with multiple personality/dissociative identity disorder (MPD/DID). In approaching this work, they used both the Ten Category Model (G. M. Cohen & C. T. Cox, 1995) and the Great Round of Mandala theory (J. Kellogg, 1978, 1997) looking for parallels between the two systems of analysis to help therapists better understand the nonverbal communications of their clients. Although not a formal research study, the observations based on the synthesis of these two unrelated models are nonetheless consistent with the assessment and treatment literature on DID.
(from the cover) Presenting an
account of the challenges encountered in art psychotherapy practice, this
book explores new theoretical material arising from the merging of art
and group psychotherapy. The contributors present in-depth discussion
of case studies with client groups such as children, forensic patients,
patients on acute psychiatric wards, the cognitively impaired elderly,
institutionalized patients moving into the community, and drug and alcohol
abusers. A common theme which emerges from the book is that the physical
use of art materials and the space of the art room offer a possibility
for communication of feelings which is not possible in purely verbal groups.
This allows clients with severe mental health problems, and groups who
would not normally be considered for purely verbal group therapy, to benefit
from a psychodynamic group process.
(from the cover) In the therapeutic
workplace, the interaction between patient and therapist is built upon
cognitive, affective and expressive experiences. The contributors to this
book explore this interaction, examining the concept of therapeutic presence,
and the therapist's ability to maintain it. The theory integrates a creative
framework that synthesizes traditional and non-traditional approaches
to treatment, and will be of use to all mental health professionals.

Some 4th of July Thoughts
First and foremost, let state one thing very clearly before I go on:
I am not anti-American, and I am not writing this to condemn this country or trash it as it celebrates its birthday.
I'm just intending to state how I feel.
That being said...
As I write this, it is Independence Day, the 235th birthday of what's widely considered the richest, most powerful country on earth.
Many, if not most, of the well over 300 million residents of these 50 states will be partaking in fun activities such as swimming and lounging around at pools and beaches, grilling delicious meats on their barbecue grills, and in the evening waving lighted sparklers around, lighting firecrackers, and watching lavish fireworks displays that will lead them to go "Oooh!" and Aaah!", while singing songs like "America the Beautiful", "You're A Grand Old Flag", and a song which I feel is more popular than the Star Spangled Banner in some ways, "God Bless America".
Which is all well and good, but I can't help thinking about a few things...
I can't help thinking about how so many people say they love this country of ours, practically commanding everyone they see to "Love it or leave it!", but this country sure doesn't love certain people back, and never did.
This country certainly doesn't love what I'll delicately call the less fortunate - the millions who are without a roof over their heads and go to bed with hunger every night in the streets.
This country definitely has no love for those millions who have been laid off and downsized from their livelihoods through no fault of their own because of greedy employers and millionaire businessmen wanting to make even more profits by cutting the throats of those under them.
This country has no love for those who can't afford healthcare because the insurance is too expensive.
And this country has defiitely never had any love for those residents who are not white, male and Protestant (especially white)...
What with blacks of African descent coming to this country in chains in the bottom of ships - the only group of people who did not come to America of their own free will - being thought of as inferior human beings for the 246 years that slavery - which was a big reason why America became the richest country in the world - existed, and for over 100 years after it ended.
In fact, while blatant discrimination and segregation is now illegal (thank goodness), and has been for some time, there are plenty of folks who still feel that blacks and other people of color are inferior human beings.
I think that's ample evidence of America, as a whole, not loving blacks, Latinos, and other people of color, as well as gays.
The group that America has flat-out hated, in my view, is a group that was on these shores thousands of years before the first settlers arrived at Jamestown in 1607: the people that Christopher Columbus called - incorrectly I may add -"Indians".
Martin Luther King perhaps put it best when he said:
"Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race...From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial superiority. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population...we have elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade...(reducing) a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups herded into impoverished reservations."
Indeed, if wasn't for the gaming that some of the native American tribes have, that ethnic group would be far worse off than it is. And contrary to popular belief, not all tribes have gaming - those who don't are still suffering from poverty and all the things that go with that.
But I digress.
I know full well there are plenty of good, sensitive people in these United States who happen to be of European descent who want to see this country live up to its' "All men (and women) are created equal" creed, and have done much to try and make that a reality.
However, I can't help feeling that for too long, America has been a country of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich, and that's a terrible thing for the over 95% of this country's residents.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I like this nation for what it could be, not for what it is right now for too many people who are without jobs, homes, food, and equal rights and protection under the law.
When that is corrected, when the poor are completely taken care of with what I just mentioned as well as healthcare, when they are free from want and fear, then, and only then, will the United States of America will truly be the greatest country on earth.
I know there will be many disagreements on this; keep in mind that this is strictly the opinion of one person - me.
In the meantime, Happy Birthday America.

|Phil's full profile.
Phil truly loves the game of golf. He explains his passion in his World Golf Hall of Fame speech. He started 'playing' golf and swinging a club as soon as he could walk. His dad gave him a sawed off club to play with before he was even 2 years old. He claims that he slept with his clubs as a child while dreaming about golf. Lefty is actually a righty. When he was learning to play he would mirror his father, so he learned to play left handed from a young age and it has worked out pretty well for him. He started playing in junior tournaments and then received a scholarship to play at Arizona State University.
"The object of golf is not just to win. It's to play like a gentleman, and win."
|Photo Cred: golf.com
This quote also perfectly sums up why Phil is my favorite player. To me golf and golfers should be full of respect, respect for the game, respect for other players, and respect for yourself. That is what makes this sport so appealing. Phil shows this respect on and off the course. In 2006 he and his wife Amy started Birdies for the Brave, which was later adopted by the PGA Tour. Phil is a big supporter of our military mend and women and is involved with many foundations and charities like Birdies for the Brave and Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Phil is really just fun to watch win. As much as I enjoyed Spieth's amazing win at this years Masters, I was also really pulling for Phil Mickelson to come through. He ended up tying for 2nd place with a great performance. I will forever wish that I would have been able to watch him win his first major championship at the 2004 Masters. I have seen the recaps, and it would have been awesome to watch him sink that put on 18 to win his first major.

Whilst I may be slightly late to this bandwagon, I have been busy planning my blog posts for this Christmas period. I will be uploading a blogpost every week day, with a Christmas theme, from Christmas Party Make Up Looks, to my favourite accessories for this season. I love Christmas and winter is my favourite time of the year. I just love to get bundled up and keep warm against the cool air. I love sitting inside, my fairy lights twinkling in the dark and a hot drink clutched to my fist.
The Christmas season brings out a lot of beautiful make up items that I can, sometimes, get suckered into buying. I think it has to be the new packaging and the new make-up shades that I absolutely love. For this blog post I have a few items that I have purchased recently. The rest of the items I have bought are Christmas presents so I cannot show you those!!
So what did I get?
NYX Double Stacked Mascara Duo
When I picked this make up item up I initially thought it was going to be a white mascara primer, followed by a black mascara. I didn't realise what I was getting. What this product actually is, is a black mascara and in the white tube are lash fibres. I have initially stayed away from fibre mascaras as I was actually slightly afraid of them! But because I have purchased one I had to give it a test. And I love it! I love the mascara on its own during the day time, and then if you want slightly more impressive lashes then adding the fibres and an extra layer of mascara is great for an evening look. Stay tuned for a review!
NYX Powder Foundation 'Stay Matte But Not Flat'
I really wanted to find a powder product that would match my MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation. I've yet to find one that's as good at the staying power and also the coverage. I have not tried this powder yet but a review will be going up once I've tested it.
MAC Mineralize Concealer
I knew that when my Pro Longwear Concealer ran out I wanted to try a different concealer as I didn't like how quickly I went through that concealer and how much I actually would waste of it. I initially picked up a different MAC concealer but the shade that I have, NW15, was not the same as the one I have when I get the Pro Longwear Concealer. Therefore, I took it back and the lady at the counter was lovely and helped me pick this one out. The shade is exactly the same as what I normally get, NW15, and I am completely in love with it. It's slightly lighter in coverage but I still really like the way it looks!
Kiko Lipstick in 934
I love the general Kiko lipsticks as they are super creamy and have an excellent pigmentation of colour. The one that I picked up is the shade 934, this is a beautiful berry colour – perfect for the Christmas times. I love the staying power of these lispticks and they also smell amazing – very similar to the scent of MAC lipsticks. This shade is perfect against my stupidly pale skin. And I think it goes really well with a simple eye look and long-lengthy eyelashes.
Becca Glow on the Go
I have never tried any of the Becca products so when I saw this set in my local Space NK store I knew I had to pick it up. The product sizes are quite little but they are the perfect size to put into your make up bag and take away with you. Or to take with you on a Christmas Party night out! These highlighters are simply beautiful, they do not require too much and shimmer beautifully in the light.
What products can you not resist this Christmas?

|I know this is cottage gardening, but planters and hanging baskets are part of that, right?
I am trying to order some begonias from Glasshouse Works and am just overwhelmed. I want some for hanging baskets and containers. I love the angel wings and the Rex types.
From reading Glasshouse Works, the Rex types are hard to grow. But all I want them for is an annual. I will try to overwinter, but won't be upset if they don't make it. So, is the Escargot, for example, going to be easy enough for me to put in a container and grow over the summer?
Any recommendations for some easy ones for containers and hanging baskets?

|Polly, container culture is certainly at home in the Cottage Garden! Part of the draw to the cottage style is that burgeoning, lush look, whether there is available earth to plant something or not. Begonias are among my favorites for my shady deck area, and for a few years I had great luck with Rex types. Last year our summer was extra hot and humid, and the heat came earlier than usual, so the Rex begonias didn't fare as well as in previous years for me. But I don't believe that will be such an issue in your part of the country. Most that I had were no id plants from box stores, but I do recall one I received from a friend called 'Color Guard' that performed particularly well. During the growing season they were easy to care for, I just kept them moist and fed them every couple of weeks, about the same as the rest of the potted plants.
For a couple of years I had good luck overwintering them too. They were particularly happy under fluorescent lights in a cool room with humidity trays under them. Some allow them to go dormant, and keep them on the dry side during winter. They survive that treatment without issue, but I found them very slow to rebound in spring.
I've been considering getting a few more this year. One of the problems I had was "the great cat explosion of 2009", when I had 3 females give birth! Let's just say that 18 kittens peeing in the pots is not good for Rex Begonias, LOL. I'm down to 2 spayed adult cats now, so it should be fine.

|Facebook has changed their picture settings so that I can't figure out how to snag the pic and post it here, but I just tagged myself in a pic of 10 of the kittens on the steps to the deck. It'll probably show up on your news feed, but it gives you a good idea of what it was like around here at the time. OMG, I always thought I'd end up being one of those crazy old people with a bunch of cats, but that experience cured me forever, LOL.

|Winter temps came back for a visit the last few days, but it's looking like spring again today. Doesn't look like it was cold enough to hurt anything, but we did have a shallow blanket of snow yesterday morning. Seeing all the sprouts has had me browsing my favorite Cubits and forums too, it's great to share the excitement!
Polly, I forgot to mention earlier, something that I think may be preferential for Rex Begonias. The year than mine were happiest was the year I had them potted in homemade potting compost. It was made mostly of mulched leaf mold that had aged for about 6 months and was full of worm castings. It only lasted for the season, as it compressed and decreased in volume by fall, but those Begonias loved it. The next spring I repotted them in a mix of Miracle Gro potting soil and fine textured mulch and they were pretty happy with that, but when I potted them into pure MG potting soil they were not nearly as happy. I have a feeling they like airy, well drained medium, that can still hold moisture well.

Running a business is unpredictable. But buying business insurance shouldn't be.
The goal of doing business is maximizing your profits, while minimizing the costs. To do this, your business plan should include room for expected costs. The east way to adjust your business plan is to purchase comprehensive business insurance that will help you reduce the cost of unexpected losses, like natural disasters, lawsuits, employee injuries, and more.
But, how much business insurance should you get?
Pennsylvania state regulations will determine basic insurance requirements. Among the commonly required policies are workers compensation, unemployment, and disability insurance. But these may not be enough. Business insurance packages can include any of the following coverages:
At The Weimer Group, we understand the importance of having affordable, comprehensive business coverage in place – no matter how big or small the business may be.

International law firm Pinsent Masons has renewed its sponsorship of Paralympic gold medallist Mickey Bushell – as he targets more success at the Rio 2016 Games.
Mickey was crowned T53 100m champion at the London 2012 Paralympic Games and is heading to Rio 2016 to defend his title.
Pinsent Masons has sponsored Mickey since London 2012 and has continued to support his progress and achievements in the run-up to the Rio 2016 Paralympics, which take place from 7 to 18 September.
Mickey recently competed in the IPC Athletics European Championships which took place in Grosseto from 10 to 16 June 2016, where he was named European Champion in the T53 100m and won a bronze medal in the T54 400m.
Pinsent Masons' Birmingham head of office Greg Lowson said: "We are proud at Pinsent Masons to support such a talented local athlete like Mickey.
"His dedication to the sport and also the local area should be an inspiration to the next generation of sporting talent within our community."
Mickey said: "I am very grateful for the support that Pinsent Masons has given me over the last four years and continue to provide in the run-up to the Paralympic Games in Rio this year.
"The backing that they provide is a massive help going into such an important event in my career, and it is a privilege to work with the whole team once again."

|Home | About | Contact | Vitamins for Schizophrenia
I took advantage of the automatic coffee brewing my machine can do and set it for noon. As I woke up to my alarm after about 8 hours sleep coffee was brewed and waiting. I think I will make my second pot now for today. I just ordered a digital watch on-line as my watch is breaking down and stopped at work last weekend. This shows that those of us with schizophrenia have normal life problems too. I am working tonight but have a good five hours awake before work. After I work I will buy a Torx T8 screw driver Monday morning and then come home and sleep at about noon. On Tuesday morning, when I am awake, I will do my final marking for my teaching assistant work or at least get that started. I will otherwise have a lazy Tuesday morning and then do some training on Tuesday afternoon at school in preparing for emergencies. Then I work as a proctor again Tuesday evening. I then plan to sleep at 11:00 PM Tuesday evening.Posted by petert at April 16, 2006 02:46 PM

Who Are The Real Heroes?
Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000 (message contributor)

Jesus said, "Whoever would be great let him become a servant to all." Matt 23:11
The Lord evaluates us on the basis of how well we are serving Him, His purposes and His kingdom's expansion and righteousness. However:
Most of us would like to do something noble or great. Perhaps have our names in lights...
Outstanding speakers, renowned scientists, business tycoons, and athletes who seem to do the impossible captivate us. We sigh because our lives appear to be so routine, pedestrian and unsung.
As I observe the men with whom I am involved, however, I often see nobility and true character being forged in them as they quietly work through extremely trying circumstances. These silent heroes of the faith are, for the most part, unnoticed, little appreciated, rarely applauded.
One man has a son who is severely ill with a disease that will probably take his life within the next few years. The boy's unimaginable suffering permeates the family. But there is a calm grace about the way they are handling it. No whining or grousing with God as they walk through their Gethsemane.
A second man is an executive in a company where the top management steps on anyone who excels or shows any evidence of genius. He refuses however to play the corporate political games that are necessary to garner the coveted positions. Brilliant in his field, he purposely remains understated as he unobtrusively facilitates his subordinates in order to insure their success.
A third friend is enmeshed in an insolvable marriage. Yet I never hear one word of complaint, as he chooses to exhibit compassion and graciousness toward his spouse.
These men probably will never have their names in lights. But in my book they are the real heroes! Heroes who are becoming Christ-like.
My guess is that you too have your Gethsemane. You too have your cross. Your cross is not the gold-plated, smooth or shiny model. Rather, it is rugged and bruising, with you all the time.
How you decide to respond to that cross will spell the difference between a life of crippling bitterness that diminishes your inner spiritual life, or a life of praise that enables you to surmount, and ascend.
"...Each (man) shall bear his own private burden...Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you...because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." (Galatians 6:5 - Wuest Translation; I Corinthians 15:58)
Concluding thought; To serve the Lord is greater than all endeavors as only one life will soon be past. Only whats done for Christ will last.

Return On Investment: The SOS model optimises return on investment and efficiency in the use of conservation dollars because it aggregates and disburses the funds in amounts that existing NGOs already operating in the field can use to achieve their projects' goals.
Alignment of Goals: SOS was created to respond to global conservation goals agreed by all governments, called the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, specifically targets 1, 12 and 20. This is directly relevant for all governmental and public sector bodies. Further, SOS is a dynamic mechanism that can be customised to fit with organisational priorities, as for example identifying and selecting projects according to a preferred strategic direction.
Communication: SOS projects report regularly on conservation impacts and successes including a number of "world-firsts" to date. These portfolio achievements along with the association with IUCN - the world's largest environmental organisation - provide valuable communications opportunities for organisations and individuals. Such communications potential can be leveraged for internal and external constituencies to support a number of objectives related to employee engagement, reputation building and even commercial activities.
Participation: Depending on the level of commitment, a donor can participate in the SOS - Save Our Species story, from helping to promote the initiative via social media channels and word of mouth to participation on the SOS Donor Council for larger donors.
The scale of the task - transforming the long-term survival prospects of the world's most threatened species - is immense. But it has been quantified and it is achievable - yet only by working together, harnessing our collective energy.
SOS was designed as a global coalition using a partnership model based on the fact that each donor can bring a set of skills, expertise and competencies unique to their field of work.
SOS is focused on the technical aspect - managing a portfolio of strategically selected best-in-class conservation projects. Consequently it leverages the communications excellence of its partners to engage a broader audience in this universal cause.
This helps create a virtuous circle of feedback for partners who can embed the relationship within their internal and external communications activities. This supports the aim of doing well by doing good.

Bali is a fascinating and wondrous place for you to visit. Located not too far from the Philippines, this is a place filled with its own special wonders and unique culture that deserves to be explored in full detail. Today you can participate in a volunteer Bali experience that will change your life and the lives of many others in the area. The activities that you can have while in Bali can improve the lives of people all around the area.
Explore the Amazing Land
Any volunteer plan can be wonderful in that it will take you to all sorts of new places. A plan to volunteer in Philippines or Bali can help you explore the amazing tropical features of the land and the many cultures and people who call the land home. You will explore different points relating to how people are like in these areas and see just what it is about them that makes them unique and spectacular in general.
You might be especially amazed at how varied the lands around Bali are. From the vast urban areas to its rural villages and even the many beaches all around the place, Bali has many different spots for you to explore. The same can also be said of other spots around Southern Asia including the Philippines, a land that is also filled with its own special features and unique characteristics.
Improve More Lives
The lives of people in many parts of Southeast Asia have been impacted by poverty and a lack of access to the right educational systems. People are especially deserving of healthier lives and the knowledge needed to keep them going. By entering into a plan for volunteering Philippines or Bali, you can end up learning more about the ways how life in these areas are like and what can be done to improve the conditions out there. You can especially give people the knowledge they need in order to do better for themselves while you are in a volunteer Bali event.
Make New Friends
Any plan for volunteering in Philippines or other places in that region of the world can give you access to a variety of fine spaces that are home to people who are friendly and caring. These include various people who will want to help you make friends and move along well in society. You might be amazed at the life-long friendships that you can make with others, including many from the countries you visit, when you are volunteering in this part of the world. It is fascinating to see just what you can get out of your experience as you see the smiles on the faces of those you are helping and even your own smile in the process.
The potential to help people in Bali is amazing and important for you to consider. You can consult Volunteer Overseas at volunteering.org.au for added information on a volunteer Bali plan. You can use this to learn more about opportunities that are available and what will make traveling out to Bali or elsewhere so special for your desires.

This is a nice move for a guy pissed he has to use a rubber. Basically you start off having a good session of sex doggystyle. Hold your man juice as long as possible to build a monster pop shot. Let it all go up in her in the rubber and pull out carefully to not loose the goods. If you are any good at fucking the dumb bitch should be now laying either face down or up panting with her mouth open and her eyes close. Here's the closer... Carefully remove the rubber and pinch off the man juice so it doesn't leak. Here's the hard part. Twist off the load in the end of the rubber and turn the rest of the rubber inside out on two of your fingers. Now wait for her to open her mouth and jam your fingers in her mouth and release the twisted end at the same time. Rub that spunk all over her teeth but watch for the jerk bite reaction. If teeth still seem dirty repeat until clean or until she kicks you in the balls and leaves. Either way, her smile will never be the same.
I've been dating the same girl for four years and we are faithful to each other. She insists on using protection so I pulled an aquafresh on her last night.

Maxi skirts are great for those days that you have not so clean shaved legs but its still stinking hot. lol. Here is how I style my maxi skirts.
|(Lace Top: Malaysia // Singlet: Cotton On // Skirt: Chicabooti // Necklaces: Thrifted & Just Jeans // Bracelets: Thrifted)
I channelled my inner boho style in this look. I love the burnt orange colour of the skirt and the dainty lace top compliments the fullness of the skirt. Accessories are all gold with lots of layering going on.
|(Top: Thrifted // Skirt: DIY // Heels: H&M // Cuff: Thrifted)
Clashing textures is a fun way to liven up an outfit. The look consists of two different lace materials. The dark colour scheme lends itself to a goth inspired style. I only accessorised it with a simple golden cuff.
|(Crop Top: Urban Outfitters // Skirt: Bardot // Necklace: Forever 21 // Bag: Target)
This mainly monochromatic outfit is spiced up with the necklace, adding a small pop of colour. The skirt has a bit of a cheeky element to it, but it is still modest.
