PTSD!! Posted on June 9th, 2008 at 8:30 pm by admin
Al and I were delighted about our upcoming chance to spend a year on assignmentl in Arlington, Virginia, our old home. As we looked into places to live, I realized that in the last 10 years things had changed a lot, and we gratefully accepted the offer of my longtime friend June offered to let us stay at her house until we could get comfortably settled. The joy of seeing this old friend again was great, but it was dampened when I noticed that she seemed sad and, worse, didn’t want to talk about it. Eventually though, we relaxed into the old gossipy ways and she started to tell me about how her youngest son had volunteered for Iraq and had now returned from his first tour of duty. Josh had been a young teenager last time I had seen him, an obstreperous kid, hard to manage, and June and Bob used to worry about him. Follow the rules?? Never! But now! — he wore discipline like an old habit. No more boisterous shouting, shaking the house with his horse laugh. His bearing was erect and dignified. Al and I tried to draw him into conversation about his experiences, but he was politely reluctant. Josh had no scars that we could see. We could see that that the war wounds he sustained were inner ones. Usually you think of self-willed, lively kids as being somewhat insensitive, yet strapping, athletic young Josh was, well, sad.
Josh wanted to reenlist and go for another tour since he didn’t have any wounds, but June and Bob were hoping to discourage this until they saw some signs of the re-emergence of the normal Josh.
Al is a psychologist for the police force in our city, and he had access to information on counselors who handled interpersonal maladjustments in officers who were in active assignments. With June and Bob’s permission, he started making a few phone calls to get a list of professionals in psychology Washington DC and in the northern Virginia areas, where there is a wealth of colleges and schools specializing in studying emotional disorders. Group psychotherapy might be one avenue for Josh, Al thought. Then there were psychotherapists such as Karen Osterle and others who were experienced in helping military and government personnel on an individual basis in dealing with the type of culture shock experienced after tours of duty in troubled areas of today’s world.
I was glad that we hadn’t found an apartment right away. It was fun and heartwarming to be close to June and Bob again. We relived the old days and the sometimes wild adventures we had had and there was laughter and fun again. As we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves, gradually Josh started to relax, he started to smile again, and we were even treated to the horse laugh of olden times. The warm times we were having together as comfortable old friends was bring healing power to Josh!.
After we settled into our new digs, June told us good news. Josh was becoming open to starting a course of psychotherapy and that he had agreed to see a professional before he signed up for Iraq again!

Just let your imagination fly, a little faster than your bike can, and visualize this. You’re zooming on your Harley Davidson along a winding mountain road through gorgeous, nearly luminous greenery on an autumn afternoon. Can the picture be complete without a pair of motorcycle boots? Obviously not, those gorgeous biker boots, (with or without laces depending upon your choice) preferably caressing your calf while it climbs up to your knee – well, that’s my preference, you may go for ankle-high boots also, if you prefer those, are absolutely essential to get the proper perspective. These boots give you a sense of authority in every step you take – almost like the raw power of your Harley Davidson.
You must be wondering why I didn’t start with the leather jacket which is a must for every biker worth his salt. Well, I was just following some sort of a schedule – gradually going up from below, that is. So, now is the turn to talk about leather chaps. These genuine buffalo patched leather trousers with zippers at thigh endow you with an additional dimension, as it were, and together with a genuine leather motorcycle jacket with Conchos, fringe, a shirt collar, slit pockets, and a zip out liner with lambskin touch will make you one with your machine. For an onlooker, it’ll become a real problem to ascertain where the bike ends and the biker begins. Lest I miss out on it, let me include those goggles with leather padding, matching leather headband with clear, yellow, or grey polycarbonate lenses (my personal choice is the one with grey lenses) which must essentially be a part of this unique suit.
Some bikers also put on leather mask and skull cap as they feel these keep them cool during hot afternoons. These together with the goggles I had just now described would give you that air of a knight in shining armor, not atop an Arabian steed but a thundering Harley Davidson – pretty enticing, isn’t it? The leather gloves must also match the richness of the other pieces. Some bikers prefer those with metal studs, but to some they look a trifle rough and the cool elegance of the rest of the outfit gets dented somewhat. I feel you should go for those which neatly dovetail with the sleeves of your leather motorcycle jacket and maintains a fluid continuity right through.
And what about those “getback” biker whips? One such whip must dangle from the clutch or brake lever as you thunder by. If you are a member of a bikers’ club, the whip must essentially sport your club colors, but if you aren’t a member, it doesn’t matter really. Just ensure it looks slightly ominous and gives that added dimension of power as you zoom by.
When you are leather clad, the bike should also have its fair share of leather, shouldn’t it? Deck it up with water and oil proof, full grain, genuine leather lever covers, tank bibs, fender bibs and saddle bags. Some even put leather covers over engine guards and kick stands to add that extra punch. It is needless to say buffalo or bull hides floorboard fringes and mud flaps will make the scene complete.

Once upon a time, a well-equipped office consisted of a computer, phone, and a fax machine. You had a choice of unplugging your phone or modem every time you wanted to send or receive a fax, switching a button to do so, or having a dedicated phone line. Each of these options was either inefficient, expensive, or hard on the environment, and required keeping the appropriate supplies like toner and paper on hand at all times.
Thankfully, times have changed.
Today, there are so many ways to fax, and you don’t even necessarily need a fax machine. Communications solutions may include a scanner, or just a computer, if you wish to keep it simple, and there are literally hundreds of different programs to supply these non-traditional faxes. Some of these programs can be found online, and only charge if you use the service, typically on a per page or per fax basis. Other programs can be purchased and uploaded directly to your computer to be used as needed, and still others are completely free to use. The free fax programs typically include a cover page that has some type of paid advertisement, and may allow several free before a charge is assessed. If you choose to send a fax “ad free”, then you will be charged a fee to use the service. Packages may also be available where you can send up to a certain number of faxes before you are charged at the next fee level. For example, you may purchase an online service that allows you to send up to three faxes per month at no charge with a small paid ad on the cover page, and then a dollar per fax after the initial three.
The quickest way to send and receive faxes is with an online service that you pay a per month fee to use. You do not have to load paper, change toner cartridges, dial individual numbers, or wait for the other party’s fax machine to answer. This option also is the best choice for the environment, since it does not utilize paper, ink cartridges, or toner, and when it’s time to dispose of the machine itself. Saving money is a big reason people have gone to internet, desktop, or email faxing since there are typically no long distance charges, and no maintenance or additional equipment to buy. The use of an online fax directory can also save you some time by targeting your recipient list, but tend to be expensive.
One issue that has grown with the popularity of online and related fax services is junk, or spam, faxes. Usually thought of with the use of email, these unsolicited faxes can clog your online fax inbox, and take time to delete after review. The laws have not kept up with technology in some states that have not yet regulated the use of junk faxes online as they have with traditional fax machines.
Overall, the use of online fax services has some great time and money saving benefits, and can literally help save the planet while making your fax life easier.

Web hosting may be defined simply as making a website available on the Internet. Web sites need to be attached to or “hosted” on a computer that is connected to the Internet.
A web hosting company may provide the entire gamut of services, beginning with the initial site design, programming and extending to e-commerce operations. Alternatively, the customers may use their own servers and software, limiting the host’s role to merely providing power and overseeing the running of the servers.
Several ISPs (Internet service providers) host a limited number of personal web pages for individuals free of additional charge. However, the address of such a web site is kept subordinate to the ISP, e.g. www.ownerisp/client. This is also known as colocation. Colocation signifies that the ISPs merely provide physical space, power and connectivity to the Internet. The ISPs are not responsible for maintenance or troubleshooting. Their role is limited to overseeing that the servers are running. If the server fails, they notify the customer of it. Colocation is also termed the “ping power pipe” arrangement. “Ping” denotes transmitting a packet to the server to check its responsiveness, “power” refers to electricity, and “pipe” indicates a link to the Internet.
Since the colocation facilities store mission-critical servers, they represent the heart of any business connectivity. A colocation is also described as a data center. Hence, it is the data center that gets to determine the quality of all business communications and functions. It is vital for an enterprise that the data center provides quasi-perfect uptime, and this may be split into the following three parameters: a reliable supply of power, responsive network connections and climate-controlled server rooms.
Web hosting has currently evolved into a considerably specialized task, as it calls for acute acumen and care to ensure that the web servers have adequate computing power and bandwidth. Commercial web sites employ the customer’s domain name, and command a vast range of prices. While hundreds of small web sites can be hosted on a single computer, multiple computers may be required for hosting an especially large web site. VPS server or VDS respectively refer to virtual private server or virtual dedicated server. This is a contemporary form of web hosting that employs partitions on mainframes and advanced resource scheduling to effectively pigeonhole a computer into several virtually isolated servers. This configuration may be viewed as a server functioning within another server. Each VPS server acts like a dedicated server although it shares the same hardware.
The success of a modern enterprise rests on an information and its quick and effective communication or application. A superior colocation facility can substantially improve one’s business network performance by providing network uptime and speed. These, in turn, can positively influence one’s overall communication, from elementary web site access to videoconferencing and other more exacting business services.

I have been in real estate business for a long time. You can never be sure what’s going to happen next in the business world but one thing you can be sure about is that it keeps on changing. Real estate business has also developed with time. Different technological advancement has helped to make it easier and expand it as well. I also make use of new methods, involving latest technology, to gain an edge over my competitors. Having my own website is one of these methods. I provide people with opportunity to search for real estate online, sell or buy real estate properties and other related stuff.
At first, I used shared web hosting service for my website. My business can be placed in the category of medium scale business so I could only afford a cheap web hosting service. Soon, I realized that shared web hosting service would not be able to cope with the growing demands of my business. I needed to find a suitable alternative that provided me with a cheaper web hosting solution than dedicated servers. I required my web hosting service to provide me with reliability, easier access, usability, more security, faster connectivity, and larger web space and at relatively low cost. It seemed impossible at first to find the right type of web hosting service but then I came across VPS hosting.
VPS hosting equally distributes the high costs of fast internet connectivity, maintenance and hardware among several users while providing flexibility and complete control of having your own server. It makes it sure that every user has a fair share of system resources which is not the case in shared web hosting services. VPS allows you to run your own software applications and install them or you can simply ask for VPS add-ons from your host.
Companies offer two types of VPS services: fully managed VPS hosting and self-managed VPS hosting, depending on the requirement of user. Fully managed VPS hosting makes it easier for user by providing him with technical support. In self-managed VPS hosting, you can use your own professional to provide you with assistance in technical issues.
VPS gives you the full control of your server by providing you with your own operating system. You can install any kind of application that you want to. It grants you complete isolation and more security than shared servers. It also enables you to turn off your power or reset whenever you require doing that. You can have access to other hardware resources that are available on the server, in addition to your own allotted ones, making it easier for you to gain hardware boost. You can also increase or decrease the number of resources available to you, depending on the amount of traffic that visits your website.
All of the mentioned benefits make it easier for me to manage my website and in promoting my business. People find my website easier to access and use, hence, making it a pleasant experience for them.

A fifty-year class reunion at Blair High was a shock to the white haired survivors of the class of 1958 who had gathered for their 50th reunion. “This looks more like an office than a classroom,” one Maude Hapburn was heard to whisper to her friend. “Look at the chairs – they’re just like office chairs, and they’re such pretty colors! Our old wooden chairs back then were so rigid and hard but these actually look comfy!” “Educational furniture has really come a long way even since my Danny and Sissy were in school,” added Judy, her erstwhile school chum.
Maude’s husband, Ike, about ten years older, was reminiscing, “Our wooden desks had shelves underneath, and they had benches for two, so that two pupils could sit side by side and share the desk. There were always ink stains in the wood! We used to stuff our books in those cubbyholes and we could share notes without teacher seeing us! I wonder if kids have as much fun these days Remember how we got away with murder when old Mr. Huff wasn’t looking! Remember that day when we held Roger’s feet so he could lean out the window to—“ Ike had turned to his old friend Cliff. He and Cliff were huddled together, chuckling.
“Now the classroom looks more like a big office work room with this educational furniture” Ike went on, “ It’s like the office furniture we had in my insurance home office downtown!
“Ike!” Maude cut her husband off in the middle of his huddle with Cliff. Look at that desk!” She was pointing to the teacher’s huge desk. “We could use something like that to replace that shabby old used office furniture in your study. It would look a lot better, don’t you think? It’s really time we upgrade your image. Your computer desk is a disgrace! It looks like an old kitchen table!”
“That’s what it is,” said Ike, matter-of-factly.
“Well, I feel ashamed when your clients come in to see you. Some designer office furnishings would really upgrade our image, and a quality computer desk would be comfortable and much better looking than that table!” Ike thought Maude was getting a little shrill. “Time to change the subject,” he thought. He was thinking of getting together with Cliff for a beer later, but first he could see the need for a little homefront diplomacy.
“Want to go shopping while we’re in town?” This approach always worked. Maude perked up.
“Sure! Let’s go to Carnival Mall!” Maude remembered seeing a Crate and Barrel store there that was pretty upscale. Maybe they would have some home office furniture and she could drag Ike in to see it. Wooden office furniture comes in elegant styles and would fit in with their traditional home. Then, she thought, while they were in town she could drag him to another office equipment store she had seen last time they were here. After that, if Ike wanted to have a beer with the guys, she could take that time to do some scouting and find the best looking furniture at good prices. After all, she thought, I’ll strike while the iron is hot! While I have Ike thinking about it! Among other things, he needed a comfortable office chair at his desk where he could lean back and stretch a little while he was working, poring over actuarial tables and making calculations.
“Aren’t you glad you decided to come to town for the 50th at good old Blair High and saw that great educational furniture in the old Alma Mater?” crooned Maude, on the way home. “Now you’ll have a whole new, elegant office to greet your clients in!”
Ike, warmed by that pitcher of beer he’d shared with the guys, nodded drowsily. Maude was driving!

You will find simple concrete benches to sit on whether to take a rest or maybe waiting on your ride to come pick you up. If it is a garden, you may find a more ornate type of concrete bench.

Separating the different recyclables makes it easier to sort them when they are dumped.

If you walk into a home improvement store, one of the first things you will see is a wall of different types and different colors of shades for your windows. These are used to help cool a room by keeping out the sun’s rays. Today, shades are used for decoration and home renovation.
There are several different types of shades you can purchase. The more common ones are the Roman shades, the Bamboo shades, and the Roller shades. These shades usually fit inside your window and help to keep the sunlight out in the summer. In the winter, the shades can help keep the heat in your house. The shades can provide privacy while your window is open as well. These shades are made out of many different material including wood, metal, and plastic.
Roman shades have a cord that you pull up or let down to have the shade fold up or come down in sections. Roman shades will gather up in large pleat like sections when pulled up. These shades can be made out of wood, bamboo, or fabric. This allows the consumer to match colors with his own decorative style. Some of the fabrics can be dyed a certain color. For an even better match, bring a sample of what you are trying to match. They are used for a classic look and have a unique folding style to match and dress up any window with their elegance.
Bamboo shades usually come in many different color shades. The three most popular are brown, natural which is an off white, and tea colored. These types of shades are also woven with wood or rattan and can include grass, jute, and/or reeds to add more decoration.
Roller shades are usually made to block out the sun. They can be made from microfiber or jacquard. These types were used back in the 1970’s. You would pull it down and then to roll the shade back up, you had to give it a quick pull, and the shade would go up again.
These are a few quick tips to use when buying a shade for your window. It is smarter to use a steel type of measurer than a plastic or fabric one. You need to measure your lengths to the nearest eighth of an inch. Don’t assume all windows have the same measurement because they look to be the same size. Inside mounts require complete window size. Outside mounts require what you need for the exact shade size. Take a sample color with you from the furniture or paint you are trying to match. Look at all shades in natural light to help see how they really look. You may get them home and they could be another color that doesn’t look right with your interior decoration.
So take a trip down to the nearest home improvement store and find a shade that is just right for your windows. You can go as decorative or as plain as you want. You may even be able to find a natural color that will go with anything. You can dress up your home with these lovely shades and give it an air of sophistication.
