16,500 foot and counting
14.05.2013 - 15.05.2013 13 °C
I woke up early today in excited trepidation. So I left Sarah sleeping and saw the sun rise with a work out. The morning was cold and the sky was grey, with a deep fog. It was 7am and in less than 2 hours we were due to be picked up for the long awaited skydive. The weather however was most disappointing... Until I noticed in the distance grey I could see a bird flying a long way off. It was grey and foggy, but the sky was clear. It was going to be a belter.
After breakfast and getting more excited by the minute, we headed to reception. Blue sky and the sun shining bright and low in the sky. Our pick up we at 9am and at 9.15am when they hadn't turned up the nice lady in reception gave them a call. A few crossed wires had meant no one had come to pick us up. After they had apologising profusely, we decided to head down there on our own steam, it was only 5minute drive away.
Having arrived, I was getting very nervous and the options of the dive were 11,000 ft, 13,000ft or16,500. Being how there wasn't much difference in price, but another 20sec free fall, and the necessity to use oxygen mask in the plane because we were so high, meant there was only one option. Sarah being scared of heights thought it would be too much for her and despite their best efforts she remained grounded. So to share the experience I went for the film and photo option, which meant I would get some photos and a DVD to share the dive with her and everyone else. This meant a personal camera man would dive with us taking lots of photos and filming.
We watched a briefing DVD and I must admit I was getting nervous now. Bravado had almost totally been ruined by a reserved sense of foreboding. That quiet nervous contemplation that precedes a storm. It was only me flying, my own personal skydive. Apparently I only paid when I arrived down safely... Which was had a minor additive effect to my nerves.
The small plane belted up and after filming my pre-dive appraisal, we jumped on board and headed up. The views were magnificent. I could see the mountains of Abel Tasman national park and as far south as the southern alps. As we climbed the Roth island came into view and an unbelievable number of top New Zealand landmarks, which I can't remember given that I was also trying to slow my breathing and relax.
We could see a dense and low fog below about 1km from the dive sight, but it covered only small amount of the views and it was the only 'cloud' in the sky. As the oxygen mask came on and I was getting clipped in, the last of my bravado was gone. As the door opened reality kicked in, it looked a long way down! I had to give myself a little man up pep talk. My stomach was tight and my breathing heavy, my senses were alive: the drum and humming of the plane engine, the sun shimmering on the horizon, the wind dancing around the cabin, the cold air tingling my face, my heart beating hard and fast and the adrenaline cursing through my body. We shimmied over to the edge and followed the camera man out (who held on the film me). We rocked back and forth and, I felt like I was on the edge of the world about to drop into the abyss. Then we dropped, and spun and there was a rush and all my fear, all my worries were blown away.
We were falling and falling fast, I yelled and hollered, whopping and totally free of fear. The views were phenomenal and the ground was miles below. We travelled at 120km per hour down, and the air created a blanket feeling over my body as I fell. The tandem mater tap my arms to signify I could uncross them and the fun really started. The cameraman swooped in from no-where and started to play, as well as admiring the views, we had a fake shoot out and blew raspberries at each other and did the wicked symbol with a closed fist, only the thumb and little finger sticking out. Actually I spent the whole dive pretty much in this position. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. After what felt like 20 seconds the shoot was pulled and all was silent and serene. I watched the camera man disappear rapidly below, he was landing before me to film my landing. We had in fact been falling for over 70 seconds and had fallen 12,500 feet in total. It was great, we chatted and admired the views, the tandem master told me it was a really long fall (apparently).
We could see the dive site below and sarah waving at me. we came in to land and I have to admit it was so smooth, a perfect landing apparently, none of it down to me I hasten to add. I felt amazing the rush, the adrenaline still bouncing around my system, my hands shaking, my breathing exasperating and myself, just thrilled to bits.
We went inside and once I had taken my kit off, we went into their tv room to watch the DVD with Sarah. It s a really cool, well put together DVD. Filming my dive and it was awesome being able to share it within Sarah who had been waiting patiently on the ground. True to form it was a lot longer than it seems, and my hands didn't move anywhere near as much as it felt like in the air. I was so glad to have filmed it. They even gave me a free T-shirt for forgetting to pick me up, which was totally awesome. As we left the fog had totally covered the air field, which would have meant we couldn't fly. I had missed it by about 10mins, so, so very lucky.
After that we drove north to the Abel Tasman park, where we can walk a track after being dropped off by water taxi. But on route I needed to stop for some caffeine and sugar. All the excitement had left me a little bit dumbfounded.
Unfortunately when we arrived we had missed the right boat, as to be picked up on time, we needed to get the 9am boat. So we booked in for the next day and then headed back to the campsite for the night. We spent the afternoon touring the town of Motueka and having a small pie for lunch. Final after drifting the afternoon, by perusing the boutique shops, picking up some lunch for tomorrow and enjoying the sunshine. We had a a cheap but recommended curry for dinner and then returned to the campsite, where we watch my skydive DVD again, and then finished the 3rd season of glee.

What is Trauma?
Trauma – A psychological, emotional response to an event or an experience that is deeply distressing or disturbing. Trauma often affects the way the brain works, impairing neurophysiological, psychological, and cognitive functioning.
- Adapted from: https://www.apa.org/topics/trauma/
- Resource: https://www.echoparenting.org/resources/
Types of Trauma
Sexual Abuse or Assault
- Physical Abuse or Assault
Emotional Abuse/Psychological Maltreatment
Serious Accident or Illness/Medical Procedure
Witness to Domestic Violence
Victim/Witness to Community Violence
Natural or Manmade Disasters
Victim/Witness to Extreme Personal/Interpersonal Violence
Signs & Symptoms
Some students show signs of stress in the first few weeks after a trauma, but return to their usual state of physical and emotional health. Even an adolescent who does not exhibit serious symptoms may experience some degree of emotional distress, and for some adolescents this distress may continue or even deepen over a long period of time.
Some traumatic experiences occur once in a lifetime, others are ongoing. Many adolescents have experienced multiple traumas, and for too many adolescents trauma is a chronic part of their lives. Students who have experienced traumatic events may experience problems that impair their day-to-day functioning.
Be alert to the behavior of students who have experienced one of these events. Be aware of both the adolescents who act out AND the quiet adolescents who don’t appear to have behavioral problems. These students often “fly beneath the radar” and do not get help. They may have symptoms of avoidance and depression that are just as serious as those of the acting out student. Try your best to take the adolescent’s traumatic experiences into consideration when dealing with acting out behaviors.
Feeling depressed or alone
Developing eating disorders and self-harming behaviors
Beginning to abuse alcohol or drugs
Becoming sexually active
Learning problems, including lower grades and more suspensions and expulsions
- Increased use of health services, including mental health services
- Increased involvement with the child welfare and juvenile justice systems
- Long term health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease
Anxiety, fear, and worry about safety of self and others
Worry about recurrence or consequences of violence
Changes in behavior
- Withdrawal from others or activities
- Irritability with friends, teachers, events
- Angry outbursts and/or aggression
- Change in academic performance
- Decreased attention and/or concentration
- Increase in activity level
- Increase in impulsivity, risk-taking behavior
- Discomfort with feelings (such as troubling thoughts of revenge)
- Increased risk for substance abuse
- Discussion of events and reviewing of details
- Negative impact on issues of trust and perceptions of others
- Over- or under-reacting to bells, physical contact, doors slamming, sirens, lighting, sudden movements
- Repetitive thoughts and comments about death or dying (including suicidal thoughts, writing, art, or notebook covers about violent or morbid topics, internet searches)
- Heightened difficulty with authority, redirection, or criticism
- Re-experiencing the trauma (e.g., nightmares or disturbing memories during the day)
- Hyper-arousal (e.g., sleep disturbance, tendency to be easily startled)
- Avoidance behaviors (e.g., resisting going to places that remind them of the event)
- Emotional numbing (e.g., seeming to have no feeling about the event)
From the child_trauma_toolkit_educators.pdf by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network. www.NCTSN.org This project was funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The following are evidence-based strategies that can be used in the classroom to diffused
Having an adult with whom the student feels safe is extremely important. A trusted adult acts as a sounding board, a mentor, and an anchor which helps the student feel grounded. Especially for middle school students—who already feel out of control because of their physical and hormonal changes—having someone who can help them gain control of themselves and their situations goes a long way to minimizing negative behavior.
Structure, order, and familiar routines help students feel safe. They know what to expect so they feel a sense of control of their surroundings and of themselves.
Ask, “What happened?” instead of “What is wrong with you?”
The teacher will decide the “framed choices” but empower the student with choice or in what order to complete.
Slow down, use a calm voice, and create an atmosphere of peace.
Long Term Solutions
- Sense of purpose
- Agency (self-efficacy)
- Self-regulation skills
- Relational skills
- Problem-solving skills
- Involvement in positive activities

Make Connections: Watch to make sure that one child is not being isolated. Encourage students to make friends with their peers. Connecting with people provides social support and strengthens resilience.
Help your students by having them help others: Children who may feel helpless can be empowered by helping others. Engage children in age-appropriate volunteer work, or ask for assistance yourself with some task that he or she can master. Brainstorm with children about ways they can help others.
Maintain a daily routine: Encourage students to develop and stick to their own personal routines, since they can be comforting to children, especially younger children who crave structure in their lives.
Teach your students self-care: Explain to your students how eating properly, getting enough sleep, learning to relax, and having fun can help them feel better.
Students are often the first responders when one of their peers exhibits symptoms of trauma. Training students to support their peers is highly effective, particularly because by high school many students are wary of adults for a variety of reasons. Students have shared experiences and a shared language that adults often do not understand.
The broad purpose of PBIS is to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of schools and other agencies. PBIS improves social, emotional and academic outcomes for all students, including students with disabilities and students from underrepresented groups.
Create a trauma-informed compassionate classroom; provides a trusted environment where students feel safe, connected, and among trusted adults

Denver to Guanella Pass
Bierstadt - Sawtooth ridge as seen from GP.
Mount Bierstadt, Colorado's 38th highest fourteener.
Because it is generally considered an easy climb along with its accessibility from nearby Denver
, Mount Bierstadt is one of the most popular mountains to climb in Colorado.
I drove on a weekend towards the Front Range Mountains. I took I-70 West, passed a few towns before getting to Georgetown, an old nice town from where Guanella Pass Scenic Byway climbs up above the Clear Creek valley.
An hour later I got to Guanella Pass
(3,557 m./11,669 ft) which was the location of Geneva Basin Ski Area (originally Indianhead Mountain) from 1963-1984.
Approaching to the top.
I began the ascent from Guanella Pass Trail head, located at Bierstadt's western slopes.
I hiked approximately half mile until the trail passes descended slightly into the fairly level marshlands surrounding Scott Gomer Creek before reaching Bierstadt's western slopes. On the rocky upper regions of the mountain (totally snow-covered) the route of the trail was marked by a series of cairns. I traversed but a series of short switchbacks until I reached a saddle point leveled 200 feet below the summit.
I took a short break once up there and looked at the surroundings. Minutes later I started the final ascent to the summit.
Summit (4,286 m/14,060 ft)
I got to Mount Bierstadt's summit (4,286 m/14,060 ft) few minutes later, after climbing up a short steep section fully covered by hard snow. It was pretty windy up there. Clouds were rolling in at the distance annunciating the next snow storm approaching from the east probably for the evening hours. I took a couple of shots and headed down to Guanella Pass where my truck was parked at.
I climbed Mount Bierstadt in 4 hours RT, I used a pair of snowshoes and trekking poles which made my climb very enjoyable.

Rachel Maclean’s new film takes on gender equality
Part horror, part comedy, the inventive artist’s latest video work marks 100 years since women were first given the right to vote in the United Kingdom
Pop-culture ironist Rachel Maclean is one of the most exciting voices in artist moving image, and her newly announced film Make Me Up – described as a study “on the shortcomings of our journey towards equality throughout the past century” – sounds as playfully political as ever.
Marking 100 years since women were first given the right to vote in the United Kingdom, Make Me Up is set in the brutal modernist setting of St Peter’s Seminary and imagines a dystopian future where a group of women are trapped in a cruel reality TV-style competition. “Here, voting is not a liberation – it is a harsh judgement the contestants must face,” reads the film's synopsis. “New arrival Siri learns the rules of a show where compliance and attractiveness are key. Emboldened by her growing friendship with fellow inmate Alexa, Siri finds ways of sabotaging the system and discovers some terrible truths in the process.”
Maclean's first film since her celebrated Spite Your Face which represented Scotland at the 2017 Venice Biennale, Make Me Up is a co-production between NVA and Hopscotch Films and has been commissioned by 14-18 NOW to be part of The New Agora, an new annual series of digital artworks and public events that “aim to build genuine conversations across divides”. The programme’s name comes from Ancient Greece, where the agora was the forum for public debate. “The New Agora programme will provide an open platform to consider issues affecting humanity today,” reads the announcement, “and for this first year we'll be exploring the theme of Representation.”
“I'm delighted to have the opportunity to explore the excitements and complications of contemporary feminism,” said Maclean. “Make Me Up is my most ambitious and longest film to date and I'm so excited to be working with such accomplished production companies and arts organisations on this project.”
Make Me Up will be broadcast nationwide on the BBC later in the year. We expect to hear more information about Maclean's film and its tour in the spring. Until then, visit the NVA website to subscribe for updates and find out more

I have been looking at getting a new bike for Killington this year. And i want to stay with my local bike shop that i have dealt with for years, He sells Trek and Kona. I think i have made my mind up on a Trek Scratch 8, But i can get into a Kona for alot less. I am not a hardcore rider but want to do more then i can on my Hifi. whats everyones thoughts? is it worth spending about $700 more on the Trek? I am leaning that way, seems like it is a more up to date design with better components. But would i really notice? Thanks for the help
The Trek is a really good design, what Kona are you considering? I'm not going to say the Trek is going to ensure you have a better time out there, but it is a nice bike. Is there a way for you test ride the both of them?

DECATUR — Paul DeJong is glad to have some new faces in the St. Louis Cardinals clubhouse, especially these new faces.
DeJong, an Antioch graduate, is taking part in the Cardinals’ annual winter caravan. Among the topics of conversation are the team’s offseason pickups, highlighted by two All-Stars: first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and reliever Andrew Miller.
Goldschmidt came in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, while Miller signed as a free agent.
“Everyone's excited,” said DeJong, the Cardinals’ starting shortstop. “Those guys are proven big leaguers. Those guys have some experience and that's going to help push us over the edge. Everyone is so excited to get down...

Rally presentation for the new Abarth 124 rally in Sardinia :
Presented for the first time last March at the Geneva Motor Show and then at the 100th Targa Florio, the Abarth 124 Rally is making its début on the stage of the World Rally Championship at the Italy-Sardinia Rally, scheduled in June from Thursday 9 to Sunday 12. The car will displayed at the Service Park, the natural stage for exhibiting the ambitious technical DNA of the project.
The new Abarth 124 Rally is indeed a pure concentrate of technology and performance, the fruit of the experience of the Abarth Racing Team to bring Abarth back onto the most glorious and challenging rally courses with the special tests where the asphalt is hotter and those made treacherous by the slippery ice.
More than forty years after its last official race, the 1976 Monte Carlo Rally, the Abarth 124 Rally is back with the same philosophy: to test road cars' technical solutions under extreme conditions and to guarantee all Abarth customers excellent performance and maximum reliability.
It is dedicated to all those who share the brand's sense of challenge and racing world values.
Concealed beneath the bonnet is the 1800 cm3 turbocharged direct injection dual overhead camshaft engine. Thanks to the different selectable mappings, it provides power up to 300 HP at 6500 rpm and optimum torque curve, a key element to allow the driver steering and acceleration balance when oversteering. Performance is breathtaking, acceleration is scorching and marked with full, riveting sound. The project was developed to ensure reliability and performance also in the extreme conditions typical of rallies: ice, dirt, dust, water, heat.
Even the transmission was designed to enhance performance: the engine is coupled to a rapid 6-speed sequential gearbox with shift paddles and traction is assured by the mechanical self-locking differential.
Motor sports, for Abarth, is not only adrenaline, but also testing grounds to experiment with solutions that guarantee performance and excitement. To enhance the 124 Rally's competitiveness, the Abarth Racing Team's engineers have worked with precise objectives: first of all, weight reduction and overall balance. For this reason, the motor is mounted behind the front axle; for the cockpit and the engine compartment, light, resistant materials were used, while the soft top was replaced by a fixed carbon fibre hard top. With these features, weight distribution leans slightly towards the rear axle in order to ensure maximum traction even in low grip conditions. The centre of gravity was further lowered as compared to the road car to the advantage of road grip and straightforward performance.
The new Abarth 124 Spider was born light and agile, and the Rally edition was further refined to star in competitions. Homologation in the FIA R-GT category has required structural reinforcements to guarantee even greater stress resistance and the highest safety standards for the crew, and the body now has a safety roll cage, which also has the task of increasing the torsional stiffness and strengthening the attachment points of the "top mounts".
The whole design is focused on the search for maximum efficiency and ergonomics, ensuring the crew not only excellent performance, but also attention to every minute detail, such as the arrangement of interior controls and available space in the cockpit.
Rallies subject the cars to extreme stresses, and that is why the excellent mechanical scheme of the production car has been developed further. The suspension system - front high double wishbone and rear multilink - provide optimised kinematics and are now installed on special subframes that ensure, at the same time, higher mechanical resistance and considerable reduction in weight, while metal joints guarantee top driving accuracy.
To ensure maximum grip in all road conditions and adapt to the different special stages, the Racing Team technicians have been extremely careful in defining the suspension set up possibilities, which offer a broad adjustment of the characteristic angles, a greater bump position for difficult surfaces and, above all, hydraulic 4-way shock absorbers so that behaviour in compression and rebound and response to the high or low frequencies can be configured extremely accurately to indulge the driver's feeling.
The first-class mechanics has called for a new generation electronic system both to ensure top performance on the road and to optimise weight and overall dimensions.
Thanks to the high level of integration, all the main controls are ergonomically grouped on the steering wheel. In this way the driver can, for example, choose the different calibrations of the engine or select the mode of use of the traction control, from the one designed for fast, high-grip routes to that designed to support driving in low grip conditions.
The secondary controls are instead concentrated in the console area to be enabled also by the navigator in critical conditions or during transfers.
A modern rally car has to be designed not only to ensure top performance, but also to allow drivers, navigators and technicians to rely on a machine that can meet their expectations and adapt to multiple uses and situations. This is the reason why the new Abarth 124 Rally will offer the possibility to choose different configurations and set ups with real mechanical aspects, such as height from the ground, and the choice of the exterior livery to be reminiscent of the unforgettable triumphs of the Abarth brand in rallies the world over.
Finally, the SE139 code of the project is rooted in the pulsing heart of the brand's history, referring directly to Karl Abarth. The abbreviation SE means "Sports" and "Experimental", a direct connection with Abarth's values of craftsmanship and technical progress. The progressive number 139, on the other hand, reminds us that in its 67-year history, Abarth has developed an average of two racing projects per year: an outstanding achievement that few other automotive manufacturers can boast.

Nick Pifani was a relatively healthy individual. He rarely drank and never smoked, but cancer doesn’t care about that. Pifani was diagnosed with stage-3 pancreatic cancer in 2017. What was originally believed to be a gallbladder issue, doctors found a mass in his pancreas after running some tests.
“I started experiencing some GI issues, a little bit of stomach pain after I ate so I called the doctor for a recommendation for a GI specialist,” he said. The pain became so excruciating that he couldn’t wait a month for his appointment, so he checked himself into the ER.
“They thought it was a gallbladder issues, and did an ultrasound,” he said. “It wasn’t the gallbladder so they said they’d go a quick CT scan to check for early appendicitis.”
After the CT scan revealed a mass in his pancreas, they rushed an MRI where he was then diagnosed with stage-3 pancreatic cancer. Although the mass was inoperable due to the late stage it was discovered in, Pifani didn’t take this diagnosis as a death statement. Instead, he fought and defeated the cancer after weeks of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation. The tumor shrunk to the point where it was operable.
After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Pifani revealed to his doctors that his cousin was diagnosed with the same disease six weeks prior. This led to the doctors running a panel on genetic testing. It was discovered that Pifani had a genetic marker for pancreatic cancer that is related to the BRCA gene.
“I found out that the genetic mutation carried some vulnerabilities, and for those vulnerabilities, platinum-based chemotherapy was very effective,” Pifani said. He was able to map out his family health history and share it to other family members.
“The more information that you have, the more powerful it can be,” he said.
Pifani is now two years cancer-free. He’s become an advocate for the disease and getting people educated. He wants others to be aware of the symptoms that come with pancreatic cancer and how they can get treated.
“As a patient, you need to become educated,” he said. “The challenge with pancreatic cancer is a lot of the symptoms seem to be generic. Just because you have GI issues, it doesn’t mean you have cancer, but I think it really calls for knowing your family history.”
Pifani believes there needs to be more funding for genetic testing and early detection. He plans on visiting Washington, D.C. to meet with legislators for the third time to discuss how they can further research and testing.
“We need more research and funding for early detection. Because that’s how you’re going to fight this disease. The way to catch is early because so much of the cancer is stage 3 and 4 when it’s caught, and the outcomes aren’t as good,” he said.
Pifani continues to focus on activities that are passionate to him, including running. He kept telling himself that pancreatic cancer wasn’t going to take that away from him.
“I wasn’t going down without a fight,” he said. “My thought was, if I can get through a run when I’m feeling my worst, I can do anything, right? So that’s what I did.”

Second phase of Main Avenue reconstruction complete
A special dedication ceremony signifying the end of the second phase of West Fargo's Main Avenue reconstruction on the 1.4 mile long stretch from Sixth Street East to 45th Street was held Monday in front of Adesa Auto Auction near the corner of 17th Street East and Main Avenue where new street lights were also installed.
The work, which began last April, included rebuilding the roadway and removal of most of the frontage roads to eliminate unneeded conflict points, and adding a storm sewer.
Attending were a variety city and state officials, members of the North Dakota Department of Transportation, who oversaw the project, as well as local business leaders.
Speakers included Governor Jack Dalrymple, Senator John Hoeven, and West Fargo Mayor Rich Mattern.
Mattern described the project completion "as another chapter in the transformation of Main Avenue. The traveling public will find a much safer roadway, good access to the business community and a roadway that is very appealing."
He added that he wanted to thank the businesses along the corridor for their patience this summer. "I know it wasn't easy for them, but now I would encourage the public to travel the new corridor to find out just how much better the roadway actually is."
The need for the reconstruction was driven by a number of deficiencies along the project corridor with the end result improving traffic flow and area drainage, creating direct business access, and increasing safety for the traveling public.
The project also included new street lights, traffic lights, and ADA accessible multi-use pedestrian paths.
Cost of the project was $14.6 million with the cost share split $3.2 million locally, state $1.3 million, and federal $10.1 million.
The first phase of reconstruction which involved Sixth Street West near the Sheyenne River to Fifth Street East was completed in 2009 at a cost of $8.6 million.
A third phase of Main Avenue reconstruction from Sixth Street West at the Sheyenne River to Interstate-94 estimated at $15 million is projected for 2015 if federal funding is available By the time the seven-year plan is totally said and done, approximately four miles of reconstructed roadway will be involved.

An Interview with 'Barry Bianchi...' Playwright Worth Culver
Written by Liza Mitchell
Worth Culver submitted their concept Barry Bianchi: Baltimore’s Best Bail Bondsman An American Tragedy as project for a playwriting class while attending the Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. Their professor suspected one of the students from the class would be chosen to participate in the New Voices program and Culver happened to write the winning script.
The comedy reads like a film script with the dialogue in place to help move the action on stage, the entirety of which takes place in the office of the title character. Bianchi addresses a variety of characters in a rapid-dialogue style that largely takes place in a narrative of one-sided phone conversations.
Barry Bianchi: Baltimore’s Best Bail Bondsman An American Tragedy introduces audience to the comedic interactions of the title character who espouses his theories on life and the nation in this dialogue-rich comedy. Cutting through the belly laughs and absurdity, Bianchi delivers a meditation on the state of manhood in a post-Regan America.
The entirety of the play is staged in Bianchi’s office and the action is propelled by the dialogue. “You are seeing the character acting physically as they would if no one is watching. Just reinforcing the dialogue and that individual physical humor on the part of everyone on stage at any given time is what I was going for in terms of mechanics,” notes Culver of their “everyman” lead character who undergoes a transformation as the story progresses.
“Barry Bianchi is the American man of yesterday. This play is set in the early 90’s in Baltimore and what I’m trying to present is the decline of this sort of patriarchal man and his role in his life and society. This play is a microcosm of that man being confronted by a world that isn’t propping him up anymore.”
Bianchi, as he exists as the beginning of the play is a stereotypical a man who knows who is and is proud of his ability to care for his mother and his family. Throughout the single-act play, his resolve is tested and his demeanor shifts to reveal a broken man. Culver creates a dynamic social commentary on the decline of everyman set in a decade they have no tangible experience.
Culver entered his piece without expectation and remained open throughout the development process. They are looking forward to opening night when they finally see their work come to life in front of an audience.
“Of course, this is on a much grander scale than what applies to me, but when Harper Lee was talking about the success of To Kill a Mockingbird, she said that she really wasn’t shocked or excited so as much as just numb because she couldn’t process how quickly everything became what it became,” they say.
“That’s sort of where I’ve been. I came in with absolutely no expectations. When they first called to tell me they were considering this I thought okay, maybe I made it to the top 20. That’s great but then when they said the narrowed down to the top five, I thought I can’t wait to see who actually gets it and I get to enjoy this cool event. And then when they chose me, I can’t even process it. I’m just starting to have that set in. I’m really enjoying the process and get feedback and talk about my work and my process. That’s something I’ve never really had before.”

Optical illusions are fun ways of tricking the brain. Some of them cause us to perceive movement when their is none, others cause us to see something as being far larger or smaller than it really is, still others make us perceive a two dimensional object as though it existed in three dimensions. There is, seemingly, no end to the ways that we can trick ourselves.
However, optical illusions are more than just fun tricks.
Optical illusions teach us about our visual perception, and its limitations. These tricks also help us understand how our eyes have evolved in certain ways. Michael Bach, a electrophysiologist, explains that optical illusions are, in many ways, a testament to the effectiveness of our eyes: “‘Optical illusion’ sounds pejorative, as if exposing a malfunction of the visual system. Rather, I view these phenomena as highlighting particular good adaptations of our visual system to experience with standard viewing situations.” In other words, our eyes and brain are trained (and have evolved) to perceive certain things in certain ways. This means that we sometimes inaccurately make sense of data. Bach continues, “experiences are based on normal visual experiences, and thus under unusual contexts can lead to inappropriate interpretations of a visual scene.”
This mesmerizing 3D Handprint optical illusion is great for practicing manual skills (and also rather fun at the same time). Here, the do-it-yourself and creative crafts website "Handimania" demonstrates an easy way to draw a hand in 3D through the use of an optical illusion.

It took almost 20 years for an official denouncement of the Communist Regime in Romania and it took a little bit longer for the Lustration law to come into force. The need for moral punishment was long gone when the Parliament decided we need to sanction former communist officials yet, this law, which has fallen into desuetude before it applied, can help draw some painful conclusion about our society. From the point of view of the person that doesn’t remember those dark ages, the present law has nothing to do with its initial conceptual purpose; instead it shows the lack of vision and focus from those called to rule a modern society.
From the point of view of the man on the street this law is a pill to cure an earthquake. His problems are elsewhere, his needs knock on different doors than that of moral revenge or satisfaction. The reasoning is simple: if the law is stringent in the year 2012 the logic assumption is that those aimed by it are still in key positions in the State. If they were here for the past 23 years where was this magic law, why we did not feel the need to create it, what will a five year ban change?
From a legal point of view the law has a tone of loose ends and seems arbitrary and written at a full jump. Any law has to pursue a general interest that is important and present. What is this general interest in the present case? Where is the stringency? What is the goal? How do we justify the time taken to debate and vote it in a period when so many other things are urgent in the state’s policy? We can admit that in an utopic world this law will give relief, will be a public statement for the international society and a moral slap for those that had no decency to step back from the public light. If we try hard we can find a general interest to be protected and if we try harder we can believe it is valid. But even with this interest in mind, the law is still imperfect from the point of view of the subjects it aims.
When creating a legal text you have to find objective criterions to determine the active subjects. Those rules must be logical and easily identifiable, non-discriminatory and coherent. In the present case the rule seems to be that the law applies to whoomever we thought of in the coffee break. Common sense dictates that a lustration law should apply to those that were in close conection with the totalitary regime, that had a political bind with the communist doctrine and chose consciously to take part in the represive actions. In our case the law applies to the communist politicians but not to the young communist politicians, it applies to the editors of communist newspapers but not to those that wrote endless odes for the head of the state, it applies to former prosecutors but not to former judges or other legal proffesionals.
Last but not least we come down to sanctioning a reprehensible conduct; the punishment in principle has to have a preventive role and a represive role. As it has no point talking about the preventive role in this case, the represive one stands alone. The sanction, even though it is only represive, must be proportionate with the goal pursued. A five year ban from public sight must seem at first a pretty easy burden to carry, but when you look at individual cases you might be surprise at how unfair it really is. Hypothetically I wonder how is this sanction effective when applied to a person that for 23 years served the general interest of society, offered guidance for new generations, was estimed and cherished by his/her peers? How is the sanction proportionate when applied to a person that for 23 years walked the straight line?
Maybe the answer to all the questions stands in the way the lustration law was created: if being younger is enough to rinse off any communist beliefs, if publishing things is more sorely than creating them, if choosing a career is reason enough for punishment regardless of whether or not you were affiliated to the totalitary regime then any punishment is proportionate with the goal pursued by this law… so let the witch hunt begin.

Can one file a Sunshine request for all records for wildlife and feral cats for June/July to prove if our city administrater is being honest about the lack of use of the gas chamber during the time it was "removed"? Does anyone know if the shelter has to keep those records?
I would think a lawyer would have a general idea what the word "libel" means.
How long do we think it will take before the city comes out with a statement putting all of the blame on Dr D's shoulders?
Why is the director opposed to this change? It seems like a great idea across the board. If anything, it seems as though the vet was creating more work for herself. With the current budget crisis, all department directors are supposed to be looking for ways to save money. I guess I don't see the problem with this plan. What am I missing?
They treated a professional like a criminal and probably humiliated her by having her kicked out of a building she helped design. I think it would take an act of Congress to get her back. I know the vet briefly from meetings and such, and I don't see her as being the type to let that happen twice.
I think it was part of the city reorganization after Pat Sullivan passed and Charlie Lansford retired.

St. Joseph’s College Students Attend Democratic National Convention
July 29, 2016 BK LI
Patchogue, N.Y. – Three students from St. Joseph’s College (SJC) were part of an elite group of students from colleges and universities who were able to attend the 2016 Democratic National Convention at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia from July 25-28.
“The national conventions offer a first-hand look at policy, personality, politics, aspiration, tumult, unity of purpose and so much more,” said Tim Bishop, distinguished professor of civic engagement and public service at SJC and former U.S. Representative (2003–2015). “As first-hand participants, our students are having experiences that are simply not available in a traditional classroom, but will enrich their academic engagement for a long time to come.”
Jack Nix ’16, sociology major with a minor in political science, Conor Johnson ’17, history and political science major, Victoria Benalcazar ’17, a political science major and Juanita Arias ’18, biology and sociology major, attended the convention. Nix was at the convention as an intern, serving as assistant to CNN’s senior Washington correspondent Jeff Zeleny. Johnson, a summer intern for The Washington Center, was able to meet Vice President Joe Biden, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer. Arias served as a runner for Fox News, was interviewed by CNN and Telemundo, and met the Democratic nominee for President, Hillary Clinton, as well as former President Bill Clinton.
“Being a part of the Democratic National Convention was an unforgettable experience,” said Nix. “I was fortunate enough to be on the floor of the convention hall for all four nights and was able to see every speaker, including President Obama. I learned things that you simply cannot get from a textbook. It was truly amazing to talk to people who I have admired for years. I cannot thank SJC enough for their kindness and help in sponsoring me to go to Philadelphia for this historic event.”
The 2016 Democratic National Convention highlights Democratic values and is the formal nominating event for the Democratic candidates for president and vice president. At the Convention, the Democratic Party also adopts the official Democratic Party platform.

West African-born and Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Lachi was born blind and was almost clinically mute throughout school. She began writing songs as a method to communicate with the outside world. On her self-titled debut, Lachi shows off her soulful, piano-driven brand of pop.
The album’s first single “We Can Fly” shows her diverse influences. The songs melody combined with the distorted vocals reminds me of something off of Alanis Morissette‘s Jagged Little Pill. When the vocals get clean, some of what Lachi does with her voice reminds me of Dolores O’Riordan from The Cranberries. If that seems like a lot of 90s comparisons for one track, it is but the track deserves it.
There is something a bit passe about Lachi’s songwriting. Even songs like “Emo Children”, which obviously emo as we know it today did not exist in the 90s, still feels like aping something from a decade and a half ago. The track sounds like a piano version of a Cranberries tune, which is a good thing if you find yourself often listening to the 90s on 9 or could be a bad thing if you prefer your music from the post-Cobain era.
For me, Lachi’s self-titled album is a bit of a toss up. She is obviously a talented singer/songwriter and vocalist and her story is enthralling but there is something about her music that makes me want to scream “get with the times”.

Ethnic and Cultural Diversity in the Establishment and Development of Howard University, 1867-1910
by Dr. Clifford L. Muse, Jr.
The establishment of Howard University and its development have been appropriately described as "one of the great romances of American education." The romance is one of extraordinary men and women accomplishing noble deeds, of institutional survival wrought by biracial cooperation, of American societal and federal government largesse, and of interaction among peoples of different racial, sexual, economic, and cultural backgrounds.
During the period 1867-1910, African Americans in larger numbers were finally able to pursue the important goal of educational development. Universities, like Atlanta University, Fisk University and Howard University, served as educational centers for African Americans and others in American society. Howard Universitys genesis is traceable to a November 1866 meeting of the First Congregational Society of Washington, D.C. Concerned with the plight of the newly emancipated four million freedmen and two-hundred and fifty thousand African Americans born free, the Societys members proposed the establishment of a theological seminary which could train African American ministers to assist in uplifting the African American race. The Societys commitment to the original institutions composition changed and expanded from November 1866 to January 1867. The institution evolved from a "theological seminary" to a "university." Howard University is named for General Oliver Otis Howard. He was the Commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands (Freedmens Bureau) which supported the University financially during its early development, one of the original seventeen Caucasian incorporators of the University and Howards third president from 1869 to 1874.
The congressional legislation (Senate Bill 529) providing for the incorporation of "The Howard University" was signed by President Andrew Johnson on May 2, 1867.

Have you ever found yourself caught in a web of emotional manipulation and control, wondering why someone you care about seems to play a puzzling game of blocking and unblocking you on social media, or engaging in erratic communication patterns? Welcome to the perplexing world of the narcissist blocking game.
In this comprehensive guide, we will navigate the treacherous waters of this psychological manipulation tactic employed by narcissists. You’ll learn not only what the narcissist blocking game is but also why narcissists play it. More importantly, we’ll equip you with the tools and strategies to break free from its toxic grip.
If you’ve ever experienced the confusion and emotional turmoil of the narcissist blocking game, you’re not alone. Join us on a journey to unravel the mysteries behind this damaging tactic and regain control, power, and peace in your relationships and life.
Understanding the Narcissist Blocking Game
Relationships are complicated to begin with but dealing with a narcissist can be akin to navigating a psychological minefield. Among the arsenal of manipulation tactics narcissists employ, the narcissist blocking game stands out as a particularly distressing maneuver. In this section of the article, we’ll delve into the nuances of this toxic game, examining what it entails and exploring the reasons behind why narcissists play it.
What is a Narcissist Blocking Game?
The narcissist blocking game is a distressing and psychologically manipulative tactic frequently utilized by narcissists to exert power and maintain control over their targets. It revolves around a pattern of actions in which the narcissist alternately blocks and unblocks communication channels, including phone calls, text messages, social media platforms, or even face-to-face interactions. This erratic behavior plunges their targets into a perpetual state of confusion, anxiety, and emotional turmoil.
Why Do Narcissists Play the Blocking Game?
Understanding the motivations that drive narcissists to engage in the blocking game requires us to delve into the depths of their complex psyche. Here are the key reasons why narcissists play this emotionally manipulative tactic:
- Manipulation and Control: Narcissists thrive on manipulating and controlling others. By toggling between blocking and unblocking, they keep their targets off-balance, making them more amenable to control.
- Power Play: Blocking and unblocking communication channels is a power move for narcissists. It allows them to dictate when and how communication occurs, reinforcing their sense of dominance within the relationship.
- Emotional Roller Coaster: The blocking game keeps their targets perpetually emotionally invested. Victims find themselves chasing the narcissist’s validation or closure, unable to break free from the cycle.
- Mind Games: Narcissists relish in playing mind games. The blocking game serves as a potent tool to keep their targets doubting their own perceptions and emotions, further entangling them in the narcissist’s web of manipulation.
Now that we’ve delved deeper into the narcissist blocking game, understanding its mechanics and motivations, let’s keep going and uncover the telltale signs that you may be ensnared in this toxic tactic.
Signs You Are Caught in the Narcissist Blocking Game
Discovering that you’re entangled in the web of a narcissist’s blocking game can be emotionally draining and mentally unsettling. To help you gain clarity and identify if you’re ensnared in this harmful cycle, we’ll explore in-depth the distinctive signs that may indicate you’re a victim.
#1. Constant Disconnection: A Lonely and Frustrating Experience
One of the initial red flags of the narcissist blocking game is the persistent sense of disconnection. You might notice a consistent pattern where the narcissist frequently blocks or limits communication with you. This intermittent cutoff of contact can leave you feeling isolated, as if you’re speaking into an empty void. The frustration and confusion stemming from this constant disconnect can erode your emotional well-being.
#2. Selective Communication: Keeping You Guessing
Narcissists are notorious for their selective communication style. They wield the power to block you when you attempt to reach out, only to unblock you when it aligns with their motives. This unpredictable and erratic approach keeps you on edge, never quite sure when or if they’ll respond. It’s a deliberate tactic designed to maintain their control over the dynamic and, in turn, keeps you in a state of emotional turmoil.
#3. Gaslighting: Distorting Reality
Gaslighting is a well-known weapon in the narcissist’s arsenal, and it often rears its manipulative head during the blocking game. They may deny ever blocking you or insist that you’re overreacting to the situation. This psychological manipulation tactic leaves you questioning your own perceptions and sanity. The relentless gaslighting can be deeply unsettling and sow seeds of self-doubt.
#4. Sudden Disappearances: Leaving You in the Dark
Narcissists frequently employ sudden and unexplained disappearances as a means of control. They might vanish from your life without a trace, offering no explanation for their absence. This leaves you in a state of perplexity, pondering what you may have done wrong and how you can regain their favor. The unpredictability of their comings and goings can be emotionally destabilizing.
#5. Silent Treatment: A Form of Emotional Abuse
The silent treatment is a potent form of emotional abuse that narcissists often employ within the context of the blocking game. Purposefully ignoring your messages or calls, they consign you to a distressing state of silence and abandonment. This silence can make you feel insignificant and unworthy of their attention, leading to a profound sense of emotional isolation.
#6. Mixed Signals: A Confusing Dance
Another telltale sign of the narcissist blocking game is the consistent stream of mixed signals. They may alternate between being warm and affectionate one moment and cold and distant the next. This roller coaster of emotions leaves you in a constant state of confusion and emotional upheaval. Their ability to switch gears effortlessly can make you question your own judgment and leave you feeling emotionally destabilized.
#7. Triangulation: Playing People Against Each Other
Narcissists often engage in triangulation, a manipulative tactic that involves bringing in a third party to create jealousy or competition. Within the context of the blocking game, they may mention or flaunt interactions with other individuals to trigger insecurity and doubt in you. This divisive tactic is designed to maintain control and keep you in a perpetual state of emotional turmoil, fearing that you might lose their favor.
#8. Emotional Roller Coaster: Constant Ups and Downs
The narcissist blocking game thrives on creating an emotional roller coaster for you. They oscillate between affection and detachment, making it difficult for you to predict their behavior. This constant turbulence in your emotional state can lead to heightened stress, anxiety, and a sense of powerlessness.
#9. Blame-Shifting: Dodging Responsibility
When you confront a narcissist about their blocking behavior, they often resort to blame-shifting. They may accuse you of being too sensitive or blame external factors for their actions. This evasion of responsibility further exacerbates your feelings of confusion and frustration, as you find it increasingly challenging to hold them accountable for their actions.
#10. Power Play: Exercising Dominance
At the core of the narcissist blocking game is a power play. By dictating when and how communication occurs, they assert their dominance within the relationship. This power dynamic leaves you feeling helpless and subservient, as the narcissist maintains a tight grip on the reins of control.
#11. Inconsistent Reasons: Ever-Changing Explanations
In the midst of the narcissist blocking game, you may encounter a baffling array of inconsistent reasons for their actions. They might block you and then provide ever-changing explanations that seem plausible at first but crumble upon scrutiny. This inconsistency leaves you feeling emotionally disoriented, unable to trust their words or actions.
#12. Manipulative Apologies: False Contrition
When a narcissist plays the blocking game, they occasionally employ manipulative apologies as part of their strategy. These apologies may seem heartfelt at first glance, but they lack genuine remorse. Instead, they are used to keep you engaged and hopeful, only to be followed by further manipulation and erratic behavior.
#13. Isolation from Support: Cutting You Off
Narcissists often seek to isolate their targets from friends and family members who may provide support and perspective. Within the blocking game, they may discourage or prevent you from maintaining contact with loved ones, making you increasingly dependent on them for emotional validation and connection.
#14. Constant Monitoring: An Invasion of Privacy
The narcissist blocking game often comes with a side dish of constant monitoring. They might track your online activities, demand access to your personal information, or insist on knowing your whereabouts at all times. This invasion of privacy not only erodes your sense of autonomy but also perpetuates feelings of fear and insecurity.
#15. Fear of Abandonment: A Lingering Shadow
One of the most profound emotional consequences of the narcissist blocking game is the persistent fear of abandonment it instills. Their erratic behavior creates an environment where you’re constantly on edge, dreading the possibility of them permanently cutting you off. This fear can be paralyzing and keep you trapped in a cycle of anxiety and uncertainty.
The Emotional Toll of the Narcissist Blocking Game
The narcissist blocking game is more than just a manipulative tactic; it’s a psychological battleground where victims endure a profound emotional toll. In this section, we’ll delve into the intricate web of feelings and experiences that individuals often face when ensnared in this harmful cycle.
#1. Frustration and Confusion: A Constant Companion
Dealing with the erratic behavior of a narcissist playing the blocking game can be incredibly frustrating and bewildering. The constant push and pull, along with ever-changing justifications, leave you in a perpetual state of confusion. It becomes challenging to discern the truth from manipulation, and this ongoing frustration can wear you down. You may find yourself questioning your own ability to understand and navigate the relationship, leading to feelings of powerlessness.
#2. Anxiety and Stress: Living on the Edge
The uncertainty inherent in the narcissist blocking game can trigger high levels of anxiety and stress. You’re always on edge, never knowing when the next block or unblock will occur, or what it might mean. This chronic state of anxiety can have physical and mental health repercussions, affecting your overall well-being. Sleep disturbances, racing thoughts, and an elevated state of vigilance can become a constant presence in your life, further exacerbating your distress.
#3. Self-Doubt and Low Self-Esteem: Eroding Confidence
Narcissists excel at making their targets doubt themselves. The constant manipulation and gaslighting within the blocking game erode your self-esteem and self-worth. You may find yourself questioning your judgment, decisions, and even your own reality. This erosion of self-confidence can extend beyond the relationship, affecting your ability to trust your instincts in other areas of your life, perpetuating a sense of vulnerability.
#4. Isolation and Loneliness: Cut Off from Support
As the narcissist strategically isolates you from friends and family members, you may experience profound loneliness. The blocking game contributes to your sense of isolation, leaving you with no one to turn to for solace and support. This isolation can lead to feelings of abandonment and exacerbate the emotional turmoil you’re already experiencing, intensifying your vulnerability.
#5. Anger and Resentment: Building Resentful Walls
Over time, the emotional turmoil of the blocking game can foster feelings of anger and resentment. You may harbor resentment towards the narcissist for subjecting you to this emotional upheavals, and towards yourself for allowing it to continue. These feelings of anger and resentment can become emotional barriers, preventing you from finding closure and moving forward in a healthy way.
#6. Guilt and Shame: Blaming Yourself
The narcissist’s manipulation often leads victims to feel guilt and shame. You may blame yourself for the turmoil in the relationship, even though you are not at fault. These feelings of guilt and shame can be paralyzing and prevent you from taking steps to break free. The internalized belief that you somehow deserve the treatment you’re receiving can be a heavy emotional burden to carry.
#7. Emotional Turmoil: Unpredictable Highs and Lows
The narcissist’s blocking game is designed to keep you in emotional turmoil. The constant oscillation between emotional extremes takes a toll on your mental stability, leaving you feeling emotionally drained and exhausted. You may find it challenging to establish emotional equilibrium, as your moods swing in response to the narcissist’s ever-shifting behavior.
#8. Feeling Powerless: Stripped of Control
Being caught in the narcissist’s blocking game often leads to a pervasive feeling of powerlessness. You may feel as though you have no control over the relationship or your own emotions, further eroding your self-esteem. This sense of powerlessness can extend into other areas of your life, affecting your overall sense of agency and autonomy.
#9. Depression: A Lingering Darkness
The prolonged exposure to the narcissist’s manipulation can lead to clinical depression for some victims. The constant emotional upheaval, isolation, and self-doubt contribute to a profound sense of hopelessness and sadness. Depression can manifest in various ways, from persistent feelings of sadness to changes in appetite, energy levels, and motivation.
#10. Fear of Rejection and Abandonment: Lingering Insecurities
Perhaps the most enduring emotional consequence of the blocking game is the fear of rejection and abandonment. The narcissist’s unpredictable behavior leaves you constantly fearing that they will permanently cut you off. This fear can be deeply ingrained and challenging to overcome, affecting your ability to trust and form healthy relationships in the future.
Understanding the profound emotional toll of the narcissist blocking game is essential for anyone seeking to break free from its grasp. In the next section, we will discuss strategies and steps you can take to regain control of your life and emotions.
Strategies for Breaking Free from the Narcissist Blocking Game
Breaking free from the clutches of the narcissist blocking game is a crucial step toward reclaiming your mental and emotional well-being. In this section, we will explore a comprehensive set of strategies and actionable steps that can empower you to escape this toxic cycle and regain control over your life.
#1. Recognize the Narcissist Blocking Game
The first and most crucial step in breaking free from the narcissist blocking game is recognition. It’s essential to acknowledge that you are dealing with a manipulative individual who uses this tactic to maintain control over you. Understanding that their actions are not a reflection of your worth or character, but rather a means of exerting power and control, is a key aspect of this recognition process. Once you’ve identified the game at play, you can start taking the necessary steps to free yourself from its grip.
#2. Unfollow or Unfriend the Narcissist on Social Media
In today’s digital age, social media platforms often serve as battlegrounds where narcissists play their blocking game. To regain control of your online space and reduce exposure to their manipulation, consider taking the proactive step of unfollowing or unfriending the narcissist. By disconnecting from their online presence, you create a psychological boundary that helps shield you from their attempts to trigger emotional turmoil.
#3. Block the Narcissist’s Number
If you find yourself constantly checking your phone in anticipation of messages or calls from the narcissist, it’s time to take decisive action. Blocking their number is an effective way to regain control of your communication channels. By doing so, you prevent their messages from reaching you, granting yourself the space and peace of mind you need to heal and regain your emotional stability.
#4. Limit Contact or Go No Contact
Establishing clear boundaries when dealing with the narcissist is essential. Depending on your specific circumstances and the level of toxicity in the relationship, you may choose to limit contact to essential matters or, in more severe cases, go completely no contact. While going no contact can be emotionally challenging, it is often the most effective way to break free from the manipulation and regain your emotional equilibrium. Remember that your well-being is a top priority.
#5. Ignore and Don’t React to the Narcissist Blocking Game
Narcissists thrive on emotional reactions, and they often use the blocking game as a means to provoke strong emotions in their targets. By refusing to engage or react to their manipulative tactics, you take away their primary source of power. Maintaining a calm and unresponsive demeanor can be a highly effective strategy. When you don’t give in to their attempts to elicit emotional responses, you frustrate their efforts to manipulate your feelings, ultimately disempowering their tactics.
#6. Expand Your Friend Circle and Remove Reliance on the Narcissist
Seeking support from friends and family members who understand the situation is crucial to your healing process. Expanding your social circle and nurturing your other relationships can provide a strong emotional support system. This support can help reduce your reliance on the narcissist for validation and connection, making it easier for you to detach from their toxic influence and regain your sense of self.
#7. Focus on Self-Care and Rebuilding Your Self-Esteem
Investing time and effort in self-care practices is paramount to your recovery. Engage in activities that nurture your mental and emotional well-being. Rebuilding your self-esteem is a central component of this process. Identify your strengths and qualities, and celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. Building self-esteem takes time, but it is a vital step toward regaining your confidence and sense of self-worth.
These strategies provide a comprehensive roadmap for breaking free from the narcissist blocking game. While the journey may be challenging, remember that you deserve a healthy and fulfilling life free from manipulation and emotional turmoil.
Breaking free from the narcissist blocking game is a courageous and necessary step toward reclaiming your emotional well-being. It’s essential to remember that you deserve healthy, respectful, and nurturing relationships. By recognizing the manipulation, setting boundaries, and focusing on self-care, you can regain control over your life.
Healing may take time, and seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist can be invaluable. Remember that you are not alone in this journey, and there is hope for a brighter, narcissist-free future. Stay strong, prioritize your well-being, and know that you have the strength to break free from the toxic cycle.

The 62nd annual Pinedorado celebration over Labor Day weekend offered a series of festivities steeped in patriotism, history and public service, laced with liberal doses of whimsy and fun.
Saturday’s parade began on an emotional high note with the 1st Marine Division Band followed by 40 World War II veterans of “The Greatest Generation” serving as co-parade marshals riding in three military-transport trucks. This year’s parade theme was “Hometown Heroes, Pinedorado Salutes Those Who Protect Us.” The Marine band’s crisp uniforms, music and marching earned the parade’s highest honor, the sweepstakes award, and the co-marshals won the parade theme honor. One veteran added to the roster at the last minute was 95-year-old former Cambria librarian and Navy Wave 3rd Class Yeoman Elizabeth Pollard, who served from 1943 to 1945 at Livermore Naval Air Station.
The 70-entry parade lasted one hour and 20 minutes.While it started unoder foggy, overcast skies, by the time it ended after 11 a.m. in West Village, the sun was fully shining.
For the first time ever, the parade was broadcast live on KTEA 103.5-FM with station owner Jim Kampschroer providing the commentary.
After the parade, a crowd estimated at more than 500 people converged on the parking lot of the Veterans Memorial Building for an hour-long concert by the Marine band.
The experience brought most in the enthusiastic crowd to their feet several times and many to tears. Likewise, band members “were blown away by the reception they got in Cambria,” according to Ron Waltman, among those who worked to get the noted musical group in the parade.
Staff Sgt. Michael Flaningam told The Cambrian that band members range in age from 19 to 44, and 13 are currently serving in Afghanistan. “They’re Marines first and musicians second,” he said.
Gesturing toward the audience that nearly filled the parking lot and spilled out onto grassy areas beyond, Flaningam said, “We don’t normally get this kind of reception. In a big city, we go to an event, we play, they say thank you and we go home. It’s kind of like a job.
“But with the welcome we’ve had here, we are receiving recognition for what Marines are doing all over the world. It’s humbling to realize that, for these people — including the World War II veterans — we get to be the face of the modern Marine Corps.”
As band members gathered post-concert for a farewell at the American Legion hall, a surprise performance of the Marine hymn by bagpiper Don Taylor of Bakersfield reportedly had the 33 Marines at full attention throughout, some of them in tears.
Waltman said Taylor served with the 1st Marine Division Force Recon unit in World War II.
Among other entries in the 70-unit parade were:
• An island bump-and-grind from Rotarians mimicking “South Pacific”;
• Scarecrows plugging Cambria’s Harvest Festival, and dancers promoting Oktoberfest, both in October;
• Other bands and musical groups, including the Krazy Kelptics playing music on dried seaweed (wining the judge’s special recognition award);
• Entries from local schools and the Grizzy Youth Academy (best youth entry award).
According to statistics and Tuesday-morning-quarterback opinions, the Lions Club and American Legion Post No. 432 threw a great party.
The North Coast was busy overall, according to chamber of commerce and Hearst Castle officials.
Linda Payne, Castle ticket-office supervisor, said tours sold out on a “good weekend, very strong. Attendance is up 3.9 percent for the fiscal year.”
Mary Ann Carson, executive director of the Cambria chamber, said, “Labor Day delivered good business, a lot of people and such good energy. People relaxed and bought themselves a little of this and a little of that. Motels were full. And some people said we had more European visitors than usual.”
Jim Bevan, Lions Club president, said, “We had huge crowds at the Pinedorado grounds Saturday after the parade and after the concert, and on Sunday for the car show,” plus above-average crowds Monday for the public-service fair.
It was so busy at the strawberry waffle breakfast at the Joslyn Recreation Center on Saturday morning they ran out of strawberries, the first time that’s happened in at least a decade, according to one worker.
Sales at the Pinedorado Grounds were up slightly each day “in spite of the bad economy,” Bevan said, with food booths doing especially brisk business. “We offered people a bargain in weekend entertainment, and they took us up on it.”
Cambrian editor Bert Etling contributed to this story.
