The Principle of a Philosopher by Eternal FoolAsley CH 67
Reid, the man leaning against Faltowns inner wall, was panicking quite badly.
Ryan had sustained heavy injuries, and Mana, his little sister, had cuts all over her body.
The Fal Braves, which had been established sometime before Asley had left, albeit consisting almost entirely of children at the time, were also out of commission for the time being, with many being injured.
[Damn it, if we still had Tifa here, wed…! – Nah, probably will still be bad…]
It was now almost three years since Asley had left.
Ryan and the Fal Braves had been successful in wiping out the monsters at the west and north gates.
During that, Reid had gotten to witness the extent of Ryans strength.
He had already seen him in action on various occasions, of course, but this was the true extent of strength that he hadnt quite felt before.
Ryans figure as he led everyone into the fight looked as if he was a Holy Warrior in Reids childhood stories.
At some point, Reid had found himself assisting Ryan with various things, eventually learning the sword from him.
So as to not fall behind his other sister, who was now doing her best to improve her craft in a distant land, he had trained himself up with all his might, attaining a great deal of strength and physical form.
Yet, against the despairing amount of incoming monsters, he no longer felt any of that strength he had.
The north gate, which they had just secured, had been taken away again, and the west gate was now up in flames.
Right about now, Ryan was being nursed by Reyna at the east gate – the same gate from which Lina and Asley had been sent off.
"Darn it… ah… Brother… why, why, why… why is this happening…"
Manas exhausted voice came from behind Reid, eventually reaching his ears.
"B-but at least its good we sent Tifa off before this… Shes gotten quite aggressive over these two years, but… shell be fine, right…"
Reids shoulders quivered, what with him knowing full well how faint-hearted Mana truly was.
If their willpower were to die out now, what little hope they had of overcoming this threat would be no more.
"Dont give up hope, Mana! Ill protect you! Every one of you! Youre not kids now – youre warriors! Warriors dont die with their faces on the ground! The monsters can claw us, bite us, but we sure as hell wont die without a fight!"
His voice echoed through the vast emptiness.
However, there were indeed those who heard it.
Not the monsters in front, which Reid was keeping at bay.
Not the utterly exhausted Mana behind him, either.
The ones Reids voice had inspired were none other than the members of his Fal Braves.
The voice gave them strength.
Or so the Fal Braves felt as the ones collapsed on the ground around the leading man clumsily rose to their feet.
"Me, too!"
Each of them lightened their grips on their swords.
Each of their faces brightened up with a faint light of passion.
The enemies were Zombie Lords and Marine Lizards, with silhouettes of Goblins in the distance behind them.
If one were to see the countless monsters collapsed around the vicinity, they would know just how gruesome this drawn-out battle had been.
Behind Reid, behind the Fal Braves, was the inner gate that led to the towns central plaza, the place where non-combatant women, children, and the elderly had retreated to, and were now praying for everyones safety.
"Adolf, get Mana out of here!"
The one Reid had referred to Adolf, the one with blue-hair, was a fearless young man aged closer to a.d.u.l.thood than the average of the Fal Braves.
In accordance with Reids command, he lifted Mana up without warning, then ran over all the way to the front of the inner gate.
"Hey! Adolf, whatre you doing! Hey!"
"Im sorry, Mana."
On the other side of the gate, two warriors at the gates sides removed the bolt and pushed the gate open.
Adolf rushed in straight to the plaza and put Mana down, getting her seated.
Whether it was because of her fatigue or wounds or both, Mana immediately collapsed, but Adolf turned and ran back the way he came without looking back.
It made everyone realize that the people behind them were weaker than they were.
"Darn it, I gotta go! Move, me, move! Wait for me, Adolf! My brothers…! My brother still-!"
"Pick up your swords!"
Everyone answered to Reids rallying shout.
Manas voice also reached Reid, but neither Reid nor anyone else responded to her.
And so the gate was shut tight.
"Darn it… darn it…"
Her utmost worry for her brother showed in her tears as drop after drop trickled onto the ground.
However, no matter how many drops the dry earth absorbed, it stayed as dry as it had always been.
She could hear the voices of Reid and the others from the other side of the gate.
Everyones voices grew hoarse as they had rose from their mouths, yet they faced forward, shouting all the more intensely.
In order to keep hope alive in both themselves and the others.
"Rise, A-rise, Cure!"
Reyna made use of any means available to treat Ryans wounds.
In particular, the large cut on his left flank.
Reyna was using a small stick to cast recovery magic, but most of her MP was eventually consumed, attributing to the wound being far too major.
Almost at the extremes of her patience, Reyna only kept her watch on Ryan, unable to even bring herself to look away for a moment and call out to the others around her.
["Sir Ryan…"]
If she were to shake Ryan to keep him awake, his wounds would also open up wider.
And with that out of the question, she could only watch over him while her mind was being tormented with thoughts of fear and regret.
A few days ago, Ryan and Reyna had gone for a walk near the east gate.
The routine doubled as a way to observe the rebuilding progress and affirming the town outskirts safety.
That was when the vast army of monsters suddenly appeared and captured the east gate in what seemed like an instant.
They had taken out the guards on the wall, climbed their way in, and then busted the gate open from inside.
A normal town would not have been broken in so easily, but Faltown had issues – particularly the lack of skilled personnel.
As soon as Ryan had detected the approaching monster army, he had pointed it out to Reyna.
The invading monsters had proceeded to kill one townsperson after another, so Ryan had led the charge against them despite his doubts in his decisions.
It had been one tough, drawn-out fight after another.
Ryan had stayed all the way through the conflict, issuing his commands and fighting personally.
Having seen a gap in the invading force, Ryan had pushed himself to unleash the full extent of his power, managing to force all of the monsters back away from the gate, but also sustaining heavy injuries in the process.
One of the parties that had camped up near the east gate had also sustained injuries.
Reyna, who was now tending to Ryan, also had countless injuries on her body, albeit none on a life-threatening extent.
"Guh… Rey… na – situation"
Ryan, with vision still blurry, upon being woken up by the noises of the monsters from the other side of the wall, asked Reyna for an update of the situation at hand.
"Ah – yes, sir.
The west gate has been completely overrun by monsters, and while the monsters attack on the east gate has died down, theres no telling when theyll tear through the gate again.
Reid and Manas groups are doing their best to defend the north gate, but… Im afraid they are already at their limits."
And the townspeople"
"According to the few who have escaped to here from the west gate, everyone else is now at the plaza.
Still, the west gate has seemingly sustained heavier damages than here… Im afraid the plaza itself is only a matter of time."
It hurt Reyna to even give a report of such a bleak situation.
Still, she kept it from showing on her face as she explained everything to Ryan.
"All right, now I have the big picture.
Reyna, you gather those who can still fight and head to the north gate."
But, sir-"
"No buts.
I can handle things here by myself.
Ryan, usually a gentle man, now harshened his tone, causing Reyna to reluctantly do as she had been told.
Ryan looked on as Reyna assembled a group of lightly-wounded warriors and led them toward the northern districts gate.
Then he looked cast his eyes over the area, and saw many young warriors collapsed on the ground from their wounds.
He took a look around, and saw injured townspeople tending to the wounds of other injured townspeople.
Despair.
Such a word was a fitting description of the situation at hand.
However, no one – not a single one – had an expression of resignation on their faces.
Perhaps it was thanks to Ryans charisma, or perhaps the peoples immense trust in the Fal Braves.
Ryan smiled with the edges of his mouth, for he already knew that answer for himself.
[Sir Asley, I do hope you remember… That one thing I have told you some time ago…]
[It is natural for humans to gather where the foundations are most stable, but the world is far too large for one to simply seek comfort in a single place.
That is what I wanted the people of this town to keep in mind – to become strong and never lose sight of what makes them human.
Of course, that applies to you as well, Sir Asley… ]
[It is without a doubt that everyone has grown physically over the years.
However, what has pushed them so far must be… a pillar of emotional support.]
The shouts of Reid and the Fal Braves could be heard in the distance, in the direction of the north gate.
Ryan felt as if that had been a blaze of glory – the last ounce of strength they had mustered from their souls.
It seemed that, on the other side of the wall, the monsters were finally tearing down the east gate.
Judging that there would not be any monsters trying to climb their way over, Ryan steeled himself as he stood himself in front of the east gate and unleashed a thunderous roar.
With his favorite, now badly-damaged sword in hand, he prepared for the monsters attack.
[Everyone… please, dont die…]
He induced one last ounce of fighting spirit in his heart, one last push of willpower onto his dying body, and then-
["ACHOO!"]
The mysterious voice that suddenly surfaced in his head, for whatever reason, seemed to be that of a sneeze.


Zinfandel is a variety of black-skinned wine grape. The variety is grown in over 10 percent of California vineyards. The grape found its way to the United States in the mid-19th century, where it became known by variations of the name "Zinfandel", a name which is probably of Austrian origin. The grapes typically produce a robust red wine, and in the United States, a semi-sweet rosé (blush-style) wine called White Zinfandel. The grape's high sugar content can be fermented into levels of alcohol exceeding 15 percent.

Behind the Hollywood hard body…
By Olivia Fleming and Photographs by: Zoey Grossman; Stylist: Monica Rose; Fashion Editor: Kerry Pieri
SHE TALKS FAME, DATING—AND HER ENTRY INTO THE WORLD OF HIGH FASHION.
More than 20 people, including a small Keeping Up with the Kardashiansfilm crew, are buzzing around a makeshift dressing room nestled high in the Hollywood Hills. Behind several floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooking a hazy downtown Los Angeles, I watch as Khloé Kardashian takes one last look at herself in the relaxed Rosetta Getty dress that her stylist, Monica Rose, pulled out for her.

In mock appraisal, Khloé cocks her head to one side. Soft strands of her usually poker-straight or perfectly-curled hair float gently across her shoulders—the careful, understated handiwork of her long-time hairstylist, Cesar Ramirez. Today, at the request of HarpersBAZAAR.com's fashion director, Kerry Pieri, Khloé has agreed to wear minimal makeup, a natural nude nail lacquer, and no shoes. Customarily seen in platform heels, Khloé is standing barefoot when she announces to no one in particular, "I think I'm ready!" before quietly padding past an indoor waterfall onto the cliff-perched patio of the infamous Goldstein Residence, the setting for today's shoot—her most high-fashion yet.
All eyes are on the 31-year-old, who, since her split with Lamar Odom in 2013, has shed nearly 40 pounds with the help of her personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson. The rich terracotta Getty dress perfectly cinches her Sophia Loren curves as she effortlessly shifts from one foot to the other, throwing sultry glances at the camera. The hovering crew and looming television microphones unfaze her, yet Khloé is aware she has everyone's attention.
"I definitely think the fashion industry, and people in general, look at me more now that I've lost weight," she admits, in between takes. "Even on shoots, I would never have options for clothing. There would always be this attention on Kourtney and Kim, but I was too much work for [stylists] or they had nothing in my size. I wasn't even that crazy big!"

That's why Khloé only works with Rose, a Kardashian stylist since season one. "At my fattest, Monica would always come with racks of clothes and make me feel special. She never told me, 'Oh, they don't have that in your size,'" says Khloé. "Other people actually said, 'I just can't work with you'—because I was too big. That always hurt my feelings, of course." Today, those same stylists are now approaching Khloé, offering to dress her for events and public appearances. "I'm just like, 'Fuck you. I'm not going to reward your bad behavior.'"
Khloé's unfiltered, outspoken sincerity is something of a signature. She is comfortable airing her dirty laundry in a way that her sisters—Kourtney, Kim, Kendall and Kylie—often aren't. "People think I'm more 'real'," she says. "I'm the first person to say if I didn't do something right or that I could have done something differently. I share so much, maybe more in-depth than my sisters, and I think people appreciate that."
Clearly, it's working. With more than 50 million Instagram followers, 20 million Twitter followers, and 18 million Facebook fans, Khloé has become a cultural movement in her own right, successfully forging a niche away from the rest of her family.
Her open-book policy is not a ploy to grow her fan base —"I don't try to do things to get people to like me," she says—but rather an effective tool in setting the record straight. Khloé is no longer able to hide from the media and its circadian tabloid rhythm. "The thing I dislike the most [about being a Kardashian] is the judgment on us," she admits. "If I want to go out with a group of friends, it's never as harmless as that. There has to be some story the next day that I'm dating somebody."
That kind of spotlight can be tough when it comes to romance, she says. "I used to wonder why celebrities only dated celebrities, but when you're in it you understand. You feel a little safer," says Khloé, who filed for divorce from NBA star Odom a second time in May. (She says she and Odom still have a "really good" relationship, and insists he will "always" be in her life.) Since the separation, Khloé has publicly dated rapper French Montana and, most recently, NBA player James Harden. "If you're seen with someone on your first date, you're automatically getting married the next day. It's so extreme! So when you're two celebrities, you can keep it really quiet at first, to see if you even like each other. Dating someone in your world is a little easier."
Fame puts friendships in jeopardy, too, and forging new bonds is an ongoing battle. "Our family has way more information about [us] online than any other, and it's always so bizarre when you meet someone and see their perception of you. Sometimes I feel like I have to prove people wrong, and that's weird. It's easy to meet people, but you don't know if you're meeting them for the right reasons. Knowing who to trust is hard."
Back in the dressing room, Khloé eyes a flowing Juan Carlos Obando maxi dress (and a soft Balenciaga trench that Rose wants to pair it with) with suspicion. Quietly, she jokes that she didn't lose 40 pounds to wear "a silk sack"—but she is happy to be proven wrong and puts it on without protest.
An ardent fan of bodycon, Khloé naturally gravitates towards form-fitting outfits; many of them designed by her good friend Olivier Rousteing at Balmain. ("We love Olivier, we love Balmain. It was all very authentic and organic how my sisters and I built a relationship with him, we were just fans of his work," she says.) Like her sisters, Khloé favors sleek pencil skirts and tight tops, rather than loose outfits. For a long time, her favorite go-to item was a miniskirt that showed "the skinniest part" of her body—her legs—but now she says she doesn't need to show skin to feel sexy: "I will wear a turtleneck bodysuit and jeans and feel really good. That, to me, is effortless sex appeal."

With the Balenciaga trench draped languidly off one shoulder and the cameras rolling, Khloé glides from her dressing room to the pool. A subtle thigh-high slit in the maxi dress reveals quick glimpses of her long, toned legs. If she is feeling at all self-conscious about the choice of outfit, it doesn't show.
Still, I'm curious to know—does Khloé Kardashian have insecurities? "I like to say I don't care what people say about me, but that's not true," she says, almost regretfully. "Not wanting to go to certain places because I wonder what will be written about me the next day—I hate that I carry that with me." Then there is Instagram, where a typical outfit post of Khloé's can garner upward of 5,000 comments—and she does read the comments. "I think people who say they don't are lying," she says. "What's sad is that I can read 10 beautiful comments and then one bad one and I'm like, 'Ugh!'"
A recent example: After posting a picture of herself in a mini dress, one commenter mentioned her "horrible" thighs. "That was the only mean comment!" Khloé says, exasperated. The next day, though, she announced to her trainer that she wanted to work on her inner thighs. "I know I don't have fat thighs," she laughs, "but I was so pissed that I let that comment affect me. The fact that I'm even saying it the next morning to my trainer makes me irritated with myself."
She never set out to lose weight, in fact—because she didn't believe it was possible for her to do so. When she began going to Equinox in the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood of Woodland Hills, it was a strategic way to escape her troubled personal life. "My home [with Odom] was dark and toxic," she says. "At the time, my family didn't know what I was going through. It was the biggest secret I've kept. I just needed a place to go."

She couldn't hide out at her mother's house—"she would start asking too many questions"—and she was too scared to find sanctuary at a hotel ("the paparazzi would see me and it would look shady"), so she simply started going to the gym. "They had a TV and I could watch The Real Housewives on an elliptical," Khloé laughs. "No one talked to me. I loved that solitude." Then, slowly, she began to lose weight. Soon after, she sought out the services of Peterson, known for training Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie and Sofia Vergara. Now, the reality star works out three to five times a week and credits much of her weight loss to a renewed focus on health, rather than her clothing size. "I never thought about the number," she says. "When I started seeing that I could lose weight—because I just thought my body would never change—I started taking it more seriously and eating better."
Kiki de Montparnasse slip dress, barneys.com
She favors Pilates and SoulCycle, but concedes that circuit training "and really intense cardio" gives her the best results. "I'm a beast at the gym. I'm super competitive and I'm a sweater. I'm like, 'Don't fuck with me and don't mess up my routine,'" she laughs. Having someone push her to her limit—usually her sister Kourtney—also helps. "I love that we can work out together. Because Kim sort of prances and is super cute and gorge, while Kourtney and I are dripping wet." The pair can't go a week without exercising, "otherwise we feel like shit," she says. "We're so mean to ourselves, we're like, 'Oh our butts are hanging low! And our arms!' And literally it's been a week—I'm sure not much has changed."
Despite what Keeping Up with the Kardashiansportrays (family feuds and dramatic bickering), Khloé's close relationship with her family is what feeds her soul, she says. "Most people see [their families] on holidays. We see each other every single day because it's part of our job. I love that, I really do," she explains. "Our show has brought us closer together and I'm able to witness moments I never would if we all had jobs in our individual spaces." Family is the reason Khloé, who says she was "pushed into it," agreed to take part in the E! reality show, which first aired in 2007.
"Kourtney and I didn't want to do the show," she admits. "We weren't anti the show, but we were so obsessed with our clothing store [DASH, the clothing and accessories boutique founded by Khloé, Kourtney and Kim in 2006], and I couldn't imagine having to give that up." But after E! promised Khloé they would film inside DASH, she agreed. To her surprise, she enjoyed it. "That's why season one is so brilliant—because we didn't really care. Kourtney and I would say anything and do anything. We didn't realize it was going to be so big. Nobody did."
Khloé's half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, were just ten and 12 respectively when the first episode aired. Though Khloé says her younger siblings "love their lives," she admits that growing up in the public eye has been tough on them. "Kendall handles it so incredibly well, but I think Kylie—she's a lot like me, just wanting to hang out with her friends and do things any normal 18-year-old can do, like go to the mall. Usually [18-year-olds] are only subject to judgment within their own circle. For Kylie, things are thrown on the front page on so many news outlets, but no one stops to think: this is an 18-year-old's life. She's just trying to figure it out."

Would she ever opt out of the show? "If I wanted to, I could," she says, "but I love doing our shows—it's the media scrutiny I don't like." In an alternative life, Khloé, who has "always wanted to work with kids," would like to help foster children, or children in need. For now, though, she is happy building her multi-million-dollar empire, which will soon include an upcoming denim line (details to be released later this year). And she would also like to see Kendall walk in a fashion show—something she's never done, thanks to work conflicts. "Last year it was X Factor, then my talk show; things that I couldn't get out of, so I missed all the fun! I'm just going to have to tell some job, 'Sorry, you can't book me!'" she says. And with that, Khloé is ready for her next outfit, a Tom Ford spring trench draped over an elegant silk slip. Looks like the internet will have to make room for one more Kardashian style influencer, after all.

Basic Steps to Validation. Haim Ginott's Book Notes - Contains many good examples of validation Validating feelings invalidation. A link to a site that talks about validation as a theory of helping elderly people. Core Components of EQI. One of the most important emotional skills is the skill of validation.
It is a skill because it can be learned. Whether it is or ever will be part of the academic or corporate measures of emotional intelligence, I really don't know. But I do know that if you want to Validating feelings better relationships with people, the skill of emotional validation Validating feelings extremely useful. The relationship will be better because with more validation you are going to have less debating, less conflicts, and less disagreement.
You will also find that validation opens people up and helps them feel free to communicate with you. In fact, if there is a communication breakdown, if there is a wall between you and someone else, it probably has been built with the bricks of invalidation.
Validation is the means of chipping away at the wall and opening the free flow of communication. To validate someone's feelings is first to accept someone's feelings. Next, it is "Validating feelings" understand them, and finally it is to nurture them. To validate is to acknowledge and accept one's unique identity and individuality. Invalidationon the other hand, is to reject, ignore, or judge their feelings, and hence, their individual identity.
When we validate someone, Validating feelings allow them to safely share their feelings and thoughts. We are reassuring them that it is okay to have the feelings they have. We are demonstrating that we will still accept them after they have shared their feelings. We let them know that we respect their perception of things at that moment.
We help them feel heard, acknowledged, understood and accepted. Sometimes validation entails listening, sometimes it is a nod or a sign of agreement or Validating feelings, sometimes it can be a hug or a gentle touch.
Sometimes it means being patient when the other person is not ready to talk. Acknowledging the other person's feelings Identifying the feelings Offering to listen see EQ-Based Listening Helping them label the feelings Being there for them; remaining present physically and emotionally Feeling patient Feeling accepting and non-judgmental. Here are some Validating feelings ways to validate someone when they talking to you and they are Validating feelings upset, hurt, sad etc.
Awww Yeah Mmm I hear you.
That hurts That's not good That's no fun. Wow, that's "Validating feelings" lot to deal with I would feel the same way. That sounds like it would really hurt That must really hurt. I know just what you mean. I would feel the same way.
Most of us truly want to help other people, but often we don't know how, or we try too hard Validating feelings we start giving advice, as our parents did to us.
But I have found that usually if I just validate someone, they are able to work out their own emotional problems even faster than if I were to give them my advice. This "Validating feelings" believe is a sign of not only high EQ but of wisdom.
Though I read about validation and "active listening" I didn't learn the importance of it. I learned it from life. And from watching what works and what doesn't work.
If you want to help someone, try some of these. I have found they have amazing power. For some people all you need to do is use these short, validating comments and they will continue to talk.
Validating feelings others, you might encourage them to keep talking with short questions such as: If you find yourself in a position of needing to lead the conversation you might try: I can see that you are really upset.
You look pretty sad. You seem a little worried, troubled, scared, etc. Would you like to talk about Validating feelings That really bothered you, didn't it?
What bothers you the most about it? How strongly Validating feelings you feeling that on a scale of ? What would help you feel better? Often, the fewer words from you, the better, especially when someone needs to talk and they are both willing and able. I have found, as I am sure you have, that it takes more to get some people talking than others.
But once most people start, and feel safe and validated, they will continue. Validation allows a person to release their feelings in a healthy, safe and supportive way. It also helps us get to know them better. Thus it builds bonds of caring, support, acceptance, understanding and trust. When a person is feeling down, these bonds are sometimes all Validating feelings another person needs to begin to feel better and solve their own problems.
On the other hand, when they are feeling excited and enthusiastic, Validating feelings validation encourages them "Validating feelings" helps keep their spirits high. For example when someone is excited, proud etc.
I can see why you are proud. By validating someone we demonstrate that we care and that their feelings matter to us-- in other words, that they matter to us. By "mirroring" someone's feelings, we show them that we are in tune with them. We feel connected with them and they feel connected with us.
A Validating feelings from a social worker on validation and invalidation. I LOVE your site!
You've put a lot of work into this and I found your site helpful. I found your site by typing "validating feelings" at Yahoo's search engine. Your "Validating feelings" was third in the search list. Often I notice other social Validating feelings invalidating a child's feelings. We social workers want so badly for the kids to be happy that we often unintentionally invalidate the kids feelings.
Just the other day we took a small boy to the doctor's office and I asked him if he was a little bit scared. It was obvious by his face that he was scared and I wanted to share, understand, and validate his feeling. But after I asked if he were a little bit scared and before he had a chance to answere the other social worker interupted us and in a scolding tone of voice told him there was nothing to be afraid of!
I felt very sad for the boy but I wasn't sure how Validating feelings handle the situation. I need to get along with my coworkers too I read everything I could find on your site about validating feelings When someone is experiencing a strong feeling, sometimes we "try to help" by telling her or him "it's not so bad. Sometimes when Max wakes up from his naps, he's sad -- especially when his mama isn't home.
Since Patty often uses naptime for her work, I've struggled to keep wakeup time from being a descent into wailing. Yesterday when he woke up, I practiced recognizing his feelings without fixing or correcting. My initial impulse was to react with hurt and say, "Well she's not here and I am, so take or leave it, bub. I forgot my plan for a Validating feelings, and shifted to "reality" saying, "I'm sorry she's not here, Maxie, but I'll snuggle with you.
Again, part of me felt rejected and wanted to go Validating feelings. Instead, I chose to speak to the want that Max was expressing. I sat down on his bed and said, "I really miss her too. It's sad when she's not home. "Validating feelings" love her so much too -- sometimes I really miss her.
She could hold you close, and we could all squeeze into your little bed. And we'd just have a lovely snuggle. When I say, "You know Mama's going to be home soon, right?
Max wanted his mama, facts wouldn't change that. When I stopped "fixing it" and participated in his world, I let him feel that I truly understood his feelings. In the end, he knew I understood, and that let him move on. It's fairly easy to see this in child of two-and-a-half -- but the premise is true for people of all ages. Feelings are real, even when the "Validating feelings" don't make sense to another Validating feelings. And when people are sad, understanding is infinitely more precious that facts.
This is from a letter I received. Because he had taken the moment to recognize my feelings before he forced some lecture on me, I was able to open up and learn so much from whatever story he was telling me.

Part of human nature is to be understood, feel wanted and needed. Learning to validate our feelings and those of others builds emotional bridges. Establishing these basic connections lays the foundation for emotional safety. It is this safety that allows us to go out into the world and accomplish our daily tasks. Validation occurs when we confirm, mostly through words, that other people can have their own emotional experiences. Validation is not agreeing with their emotional experience, it is reassuring them that it is okay for them to feel the way they do.

But I do know that if you want to have better consociations with people, the skill of heartfelt validation is to the nth degree useful. The relationship will be change one's mind because with more validation you are going to deceive less debating, diminished conflicts, and inferior disagreement.
You leave also find that validation opens society up and helps them feel liberate to communicate with you. In occurrence, if there is a communication failure, if there is a wall medially you and someone else, it very likely has been built with the bricks of invalidation.

In fact, it depressed me even more. It is a skill because it can be learned. Don't worry if you haven't had a similar experience; you can try asking them to elaborate on their feelings or acknowledging their personal history.

Disastrous relationships are nothing new for me. My past is riddled with complicated, codependent, and crazy encounters. Never before have I been more wrong.

I attended a lecture by Harville Hendrix, founder of Imago Therapy. He spoke on how we can change the world by changing our relationships. He went on to explain how we strive to connect with others in order to experience a taste of the joy and love we once received from our primary caregivers.
This connection is our deepest desire and losing it is our greatest fear. And then it hit me. Did I really want to continue that pattern?

Yowza! What a difference – well done!
I love the black, what a great re-do. Thanks for sharing.
oooo, i love the aqua colored lamp in the before shot of the dining room. i hope it was saved!
What kind of bookcases are those?
Not only it looks great, but I like that the are using affordable pieces from IKEA.
Wow-that's a beautiful transformation. Love the modern look! Picking colors that don't flow is an easy mistake to make, but easy to fix too.
That's such a complete turn around! Love it!
I love the white bookcase against the dark wall. Very sophisticated and cohesive looking without spending a fortune on furnishings. Great eye for color and composition!
Inspiringly bold. Did anyone else notice the book arrangements by color in the dining room? Subtle!
From bland and frumpy to modern and inviting. Well done!
I love the look of the built-in bookcases in the dining room, and would like more information about how they did that.
Love the look! The two dark walls mirroring each other are so effective. There is no mention of the bookcases being built in to the wall, which it looks like they are. Was this a costly exercise??
Love everything except arranging books by color. This illogical fad can not end soon enough for me. Everything else is super.
GORGEOUS! Are the bookcases sunk into the wall? They look recessed and I can't tell if that's a clever trick of the eye with the dark wall or if you did build out around them. Can you share?
I live the lamp shade (over the table). I don't think its from Ikea- does anyone know where its from?
We had the same fear at our new store in Toronto, at just over 200 sq ft, our designer suggested painting the longest wall (and part of the ceiling!) black…Amazing!
Not only does the space feel bigger, everyone who comes in comments on how cool it is.
Thank you again SO much for featuring this project of mine!!!
Chris – the bookcases are Ikea Billy bookcases with the matching glass doors.
Ali & Gabby Bren – they are not actually built-ins! We wanted that look, but they are just the Ikea Billy bookcases side by side. We will add more as we need them (which will probably be soon, ha ha) but it's much easier than an actual built-in project!
How cool is it to visit Design*Sponge and see Adriane's work here?!?! Answer: Very cool. Love her DIY light fixture!
Killing me! I have tried to make that stupid string shade twice now.. both times, it just caved in when I popped the balloon. Yours is really beautiful!
i want the old dining room chairs!!
Love everything about this makeover! Really well done!
I often wonder, is it the same people living in the after as in the before? They feel so different–a big jump style-wise. I do absolutely love the end result!
I love it. The color combination makes the living-room look chic.
I may remove some books to put objects instead !
Makes so much sense to combine a library with a dining room since neither gets enough use on its own (at least for me)…and talk about conversation starters at the dinner table! It creates such a warm, inviting look.

Q: Windows per-thread locales trash the classic locale? For reasons I don't understand, my single-threaded program is losing track of the classic (or "C") locale when I ask Windows to store locale information on a per-thread basis. Here's my source code:
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

void print_pt_5()
{
    const int precision = 6;
    std::ostringstream oss;
    oss.imbue(std::locale::classic());
    //oss.imbue(std::locale("C"));
    oss.setf(std::ios::floatfield, std::ios::fixed);
    oss.precision(precision);
    oss << 0.5;
    printf("%s\n", oss.str().c_str());
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    print_pt_5();
    // locale settings are thread-local
    _configthreadlocale(_ENABLE_PER_THREAD_LOCALE);
    // set to german locale
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "German_Austria.850");
    print_pt_5();
    return 0;
}

When I run it like this, the output is:
0.500000
0,500000

If I remove the _configthreadlocale line, the output is:
0.500000
0.500000

I'm building with VS2012 and running on Windows 8. Why am I getting a comma for the decimal point in the first example?

OFFROADING on the Farm: Stage 3 held at Brighton River in St Elizabeth on Sunday was the biggest of the fledgling competition to date. The series began July last year.
"It was another successful staging despite the late start. As we go along each staging of the event always surpasses our expectations. This staging, we had a bigger crowd and more sponsors on-board," Troy Bernard, series co-organiser, told the Jamaica Observer's weekly Auto magazine.
Once going, the event, now in its third iteration, provided a more streamlined flow of action from one off-roading challenge to the next with clearly marked areas and security for spectator safety.
"For this staging, we had introduced a few new challenges and made it into a real competition by awarding prizes to persons who ranked first, second, third overall. We did a few adjustments to some of the challenges; for example we made the swamp challenge much bigger and with a lot more mud," said Bernard.
Those who opted to complete found themselves able to mix and match the obstacles available. These ran the gamut of the Elephant Footsteps that tested vehicle suspension to the Swamp Challenge that pushed all to their limits.
"We had two classes that competitors could choose to enter; professional and amateur. For each obstacle challenge, the top three times for each would award them with points, 15, 10 and 5, respectively. From there, whoever had the highest points were awarded the first, second and third overall positions for the day," he said.
At the end of the day, it was an unlikely victory taken by the 1995 Nissan Patrol driven by Cheval Darby out of Clarendon, as he faced quite a cadre of more modern machinery and experienced off-road drivers. While he didn't win any of the challenges he entered, he maintained a constant second-place finishing to put him on top points-wise.
"I didn't plan to enter. It was just an on-the-spot decision," Darby said.
Having owned his unmodified example passed down to him from his father for the past six years, he's looking forward to the next event.
"I do plan to enter again, but next time I'm going to bring my crew," he said.
Second overall was off-roading enthusiast Steve Case. Shane Howden followed in third. Case also captured the Amateur Championship, with Howden second and Dwayne McKenzie third in that class.
Looking ahead to the next Offroading on the Farm in October, Bernard and his team are hoping to build on the success.
"The level of support and positive reviews from competitors and patrons is always encouraging. We had a few new sponsors on-board whose brands had a lot to offer this staging. This branch of motorsports we have introduced in Jamaica is accepted very well by persons who already have an understanding of it and those who are now interested in being a part of this growing trend," Bernard added.

Felsőporumbák (, ) falu Romániában, Erdélyben, Szeben megyében.

Nevének eredete
Lásd Alsóporumbáknál. 1466-ban utramque Porumbak, 1589-ben Felső-Porumbak, 1733-ban Felső Porumbach, 1750-ben Felső-Porumbák néven írták.

Fekvése
Nagyszebentől 35 kilométerre délkeletre, a Fogarasi-havasok északi lábánál fekszik.

Népesség

A népességszám változása
Népessége 1850 és 1956 között ezerötszáz és kétezer fő között változott, azóta felére csökkent.

Etnikai és vallási megoszlás
 1880-ban 1795 lakosából 1530 volt román, 102 német, 21 magyar és 142 egyéb anyanyelvű; 1505 ortodox, 164 görögkatolikus, 99 római katolikus és 16 unitárius vallású.
 2002-ben 859 lakosából 838 volt román, tizenegy magyar és nyolc cigány nemzetiségű; 852 ortodox vallású.

Története
Alsóporumbák határára települt Fogaras vidéki román falu volt, az Erdélyi Fejedelemség idején fejedelmi birtok. Határában 1619-ben Bethlen Gábor alapított üveghutát, ahová muranói üvegfúvókat hozatott. Ők Bethlen halála után hazatelepültek, majd helyi román jobbágyokkal indult újra a huta, akik valószínűleg a muranóiaktól tanulták a szakmát. 1632-ben 56 jobbágy-, hat havasalföldi zsellér- és két darabontcsalád lakta, és kőtörő malmot írtak benne össze. Ezek valószínűleg a ma Bârcul Glăjăriei nevet viselő határrészben működtek. 1633-ban hat román nevű üveges, 1637-ben három munkás, köztük egy üvegfúvó és egy hamuégető dolgozott itt. 1637 után új üvegcsűrt építettek a falutól hat kilométerre délre, a mai Glăjăria Arsă határrészben. 1648-ban két német nevű és két helybeli román üvegesből állt személyzete. Raktáraiban az az évi leltár 8900 ablaküvegkarikát és 1844 db öblösüveget talált.

Közben 1629-ben, Brassóban porumbáki román fazekasokat említettek. 1721-ben nyolc fazekasmestert írtak össze benne. A fazekasok zsellérnek számítottak. Egész évben, főfoglalkozásként űzték mesterségüket, a fogarasi vár számára és piacra is dolgoztak.

1674-ben ismét új helyen, a mára visszaerdősült, La Glăjărie határrészben működött az üveghuta. Egy üveges, egy formakészítő, két hamuégető és három segéd dolgozott benne. Termékeik között volt a híres "kotyogós" üveg, egy hosszú szájú, kétosztatú palackforma, azonkívül egyéb palackok, kancsók, poharak és gyertyatartók. Mindezeket túlnyomóan színtelen, átlátszó üvegből készítették, de külön színezőanyagkészítőt ("fritás") is tartottak, és egyes edényeket díszítettek is. 1680-ban a falu 123 telekből állt, a hutát pedig lengyelek árendálták. 1715-ben két lengyel, 1721–22-ben pedig három román üveges tartozott hozzá. A faluban 1722-ben hatvanhat boér és 290 jobbágy családfőt találtak, a görögkatolikus egyház számára készített 1733-as összeírás viszont csupán 125 családfőt és két templomot.

Még 1726-ban újraépítették az üveghutát. Határában, a Purcărița-erdőben 1748-ban egy kisebb ortodox apácaközösség létezett, amelyet 1761-ben Buccow ortodoxellenes missziója keretében számoltak fel. Az üveghuta 1757-ben, az uradalommal együtt Bethlen Gáboré és Bethlen Miklósé lett. 1760-ban német nevű mesterek dolgoztak benne. 1762 körül egyedül Bethlen Gábor tulajdonába került, aki 1763-ban újjáépítette és Bécsből új munkásokat hozatott. A huta az 1760-as években évi négyszáz forintnál több jövedelmet hajtott. Római katolikus munkásai 1766-ban filiaként Alsóporumbákhoz tartoztak. 1792-ben már a kamara tulajdonában volt a huta, amely abban az évben nyolcszáz rajnai forint értékű terméket állított elő. Üvegeit Erdélyen kívül a román fejedelemségekbe is szállították.

A lakosság egy része az 1760-as évektől 1851-ig határőrszolgálatot teljesített. Így alakult ki az a társadalmi tagolódás, amely a falut a 20. században jellemezte: határőrök, boérek, jobbágyok és zsellérek. A falut 1876-ban Fogaras vármegyéhez csatolták. A hutában a 19. század folyamán csehországi német üvegfúvók dolgoztak, de az elkészült tárgyak minősége ekkor már messze elmaradt a nyugat-európai színvonaltól. 1851-ben Nicolae T. Ciurcu árendálta. A munkások gyermekei számára a római katolikus egyház 1868-ban iskolát szervezett, amelyet 1873-ban községivé alakítottak, majd 1875-ben államosítottak. Végül 1894-ben, a feleki üveggyár korszerűsítése után az üveghuta bezárt, munkásai elköltöztek. A 19. század végén római katolikus körlelkészség székhelye volt. 1908-ban megalakult benne a Negoiu népbank.

Bár hegyvidéki falu volt, 1862-ben kollektivizálták. 1969-ben egy mára felhagyott márványbányát kezdtek művelni a Negoj turistaház felé vezető úton, 857 méter magasságban. A bánya mellett őrlő is működött.

A falu két ortodox parókiára oszlik. 1902 és 1906 között a falu közigazgatásilag is két községet alkotott, a nyugati Újporumbákot és a keleti Óporumbákot. Előbbi temploma 1876-ban épült, neoromán stílusban, míg utóbbié 1901–03-ban, neogótikus–neobizánci stílusban. A nyugati falurészben áll még az egykori görögkatolikus templom is, máig ortodox tulajdonban.

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin is seeking a Presidential Disaster Declaration for severe weather damage from February and March that impacted 58 Kentucky counties, including Whitley, Laurel, Knox, Bell and McCreary counties.
The system produced extended episodes of strong winds and torrential rain which caused flooding, flash flooding, landslides, and mudslides.
The weather system caused over $41 million in damages statewide, the majority of that related to highways, bridges, and utility infrastructure. A total of three Kentuckians lost their lives during this event, along with many minor injuries.
Whitley County Projects Director Amber Owens said Tuesday that the county did preliminary assessments for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Kentucky Emergency Management Agency (KYEM) in March, which calculated nearly $500,000 in damage to roadways.
The county's numbers are a mixture of work already completed by the road department right after the flooding event and projects that will require a permanent fix to repair the roadway, Owens noted.
This estimate doesn't include work that the state department of highways did to repair state roads in Whitley County. Owens said that she doesn't know what the state calculated that damage to be.
During the flooding in late February, at least 10 Whitley County roads broke off or slipped off and another four roads had landslides on them, Whitley County Emergency Management Director Danny Moses said previously.
The Cumberland River in Williamsburg crested at 28.57 feet, which is the 22nd highest river crest in Williamsburg since 1886, according to the National Weather Service.
The Cumberland River is considered to be a flood stage in Williamsburg at 21 feet. Moderate flood stage is 27.5 feet and major flood stage is at 32 feet.
Bevin sent the letter last week to President Donald Trump seeking the disaster declaration.
The following other counties are also included in this request: Ballard, Boyd, Breathitt, Butler, Campbell, Carlisle, Carroll, Carter, Clay, Clinton, Crittenden, Cumberland, Edmonson, Elliott, Estill, Floyd, Fulton, Grant, Hancock, Harlan, Henderson, Henry, Hickman, Jackson, Johnson, Knott, Lawrence, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Livingston, Lyon, Madison, Magoffin, Marshall, Martin, McCracken, Metcalfe, Monroe, Morgan, Owsley, Pendleton, Perry, Pike, Powell, Rockcastle, Russell, Simpson, Trigg, Union, Wayne, Webster, and Wolfe.

Sherbros worried over seeming 'extinction'
By Mohamed Massaquoi
Deputy Speaker of Parliament, who also doubles as member of the Bonthe District Family Association, has raised concern that their tribe was gradually going into extinction, and that they decided to come together in order to undertake a campaign and ensure that their ethnic identity is not totally fade away.
Hon. Segepoh Solomon Thomas reiterated that they formed the association to collaborate and seek their interest, but more importantly to reactivate their ethnic identity as most Sherbros have identified themselves with other ethnic groups in the country.
The lawmaker was on Friday addressing audience at a fund raising dinner organised at Hotel Cabenda in Freetown, where he claimed that Bonthe district suffered greatly during the former administration as the district was considered one of the strongholds of the Sierra Leone Peoples Party ( SLPP).
"Bonthe is the most neglected district in the country and politicians have claimed that the district is not economically viable. What is actually worrisome at this moment is that the Sherbro tribe is disappearing. This is the reason we have come together and to promote our common interest," he said.
Public Relation Officer of the Bonthe District Family Association, Rose Konima Stevens, said they formed the association since 2009, and that they have been galvanising support across the world.
She claimed that the district has been neglected since the departure of the colonial masters.
"We formed the Bonthe District Family Association because we saw the need for collective responsibility, considering the fact that the Sherbro ethnic group is very small. We also want to learn more about the language so that we can identify ourselves so easily and collectively we can bring development into our district. This group is fully registered with government institutions. Each year we collect resources and go to Bonthe to embark on development programmes because the district is seriously lagging behind in terms of development," she said.

Columbus Owns Country Captain, Thanks To The British Spice Trade And/Or FDR. Or Miss Leslie Up North. And Maybe/Probably Others.
Country Captain is a dish said to have come to this country via worldly sea merchants in port at Savannah. Indian curry, tomato, chicken, and rice…it's fantastic (my recipe here). Somehow, though, home-of-the-scramble-dog Columbus, Georgia adopted it.
Scramble Dog:
Well, since Av loves Country Captain so much, the last time we were in Columbus we tried to look it up. I heard that they serve it at Minnie's Uptown Restaurant:
Turns out, they weren't serving it that day, so we and the boys shared:
It was served cafeteria style and not much of it appealed to me. I had some little bites, and none of it was particularly good, even the fried chicken. Meatloaf was tasteless. I thought: maybe we just aren't here on the right day. They get lots of great ratings on Urbanspoon and Yelp. However there was a review on Yelp from 11/30/13 that mentioned their bathrooms. In that regard, I just and only want to say that while I did not have the experience (oh, thankfully!) of that person, I did unfortunately need to visit the ladies' room, and any restaurant that puts such little attention and care into the upkeep and sanitation of their facilities frightens me about what else they might let go which is not in the public eye. Left immediately with a disdain for the whole place for letting things go like that. And let's just keep moving on, because I don't want to think about it again.
Many think that the recipe for Country Captain Chicken had nothing to do with Savannah but rather a certain local socialite, Mrs. W.L. Bullard, who made the whole recipe up herself and served it with pride to Franklin Delano Roosevelt who traveled to his 'Little White House' in nearby Warm Springs, Georgia to ease his polio symptoms.
From the National Park Service:
At Warm Springs, Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd president of the United States found the strength to resume his political career and a positive outlet for his own personal struggle with polio through creation of the Warm Springs Foundation. Roosevelt returned to use the therapeutic waters at Warm Springs every year, except 1942, from his first visit in 1924 until his death there in 1945. Influenced by his experiences in this rural area, President Roosevelt developed New Deal programs, such as the Rural Electrification Administration. He also carried on important official duties when he was there…
…Roosevelt arrived at the resort on October 3, 1924 hoping to find a cure. The next day, he began swimming and immediately felt an improvement. For the first time in three years, he was able to move his right leg. Because Roosevelt was nationally prominent, his visit assured publicity for Warm Springs. A syndicated Sunday newspaper supplement featured his experience. By his return in 1925, other patients were coming in the hope of a cure. In 1926, he bought the resort property and 1,200 acres from George Peabody for some $200,000. Seeking medical advice and contributions from his friends, he organized the nonprofit Warms Springs Foundation in 1927 turning property over to the foundation.
The Warm Springs Foundation created what became the first and for many years, the only hospital devoted solely to the treatment of poliomyelitis victims in the world. The organization became the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the sponsor of the "March of Dimes," and was instrumental in promoting the development of a cure for polio…
Country Captain was a favorite dish, too, of George S. Patton, and was developed into a MRE in his honor in 2000, and a press release went out in January 2006 that it was discontinued. Apparently, it didn't translate well in, you know, pouch form.
It's what my Le Creuset tagine was made for cooking.
Saveur ran the recipe from Watershed in Atlanta for the dish, and the March 2010 Bon Appetit did a recipe for it with cauliflower and peas. American Food Roots simply calls it 'America's Curry Dish'.
Oh, and just to make the whole provenance even more in question, an AP food editor named Cecily Brownstone traced the dish north to Miss Leslie's New Cookery Book, published in Philadelphia in 1857. Who knows?
