Arizonans without employer-provided health insurance were finally able to shop for policies Tuesday on a federally run website, with nonprofits providing outreach and assistance to potential enrollees trying to navigate the process.
The website (http://www.healthcare.gov) lets individuals shop for different levels of insurance and see if they're eligible for subsidies to help pay some of the costs.
Gov. Jan Brewer decided Arizona should join the federal exchange rather than run a state marketplace.
The website was having problems handling all the traffic, but there was no reason to rush. People can sign up as late as Dec. 15 and still have coverage in place on Jan. 1, said Allen Gjersvig, director of health care innovation at the Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers.
The new program is a key part of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, but many people were struggling to get onto the website and sign up.
An Associated Press reporter and Gjersvig both had problems getting past the security questions screen on the main signup page — an issue seen across the country.
Obama said more than 1 million people nationwide had visited the government's main website before 7 a.m. EDT, and officials were scrambling to fix the glitches.
Ten large insurers filed applications with the state to sell insurance on the exchange, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, and Cigna. The plans are offered at four coverage levels, plus a catastrophic plan only available to people under 30 and some with limited incomes.
One of the major differences between current insurance and that available after Jan. 1 is that companies now have to offer plans to people with pre-existing conditions and can't charge them higher rates.
Many people also will qualify for tax credits that will lower the monthly price.
Seventeen Arizona health centers split $2.3 million to help people sign up for insurance, while another $2.1 million was awarded to four groups, including Gjersvig's, to hire "navigators" to help people enroll.
About 20 percent of Arizonans don't have insurance, but at least 300,000 are expected to get Medicaid coverage for the poor starting Jan. 1. That leaves about 700,000 people without insurance, many of them eligible to buy it through the exchange.
For those newly qualifying for the state's Medicaid program, which is expanding to include individuals and families making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty limit — navigators are advising those people to skip the federal health exchange site.
Instead, they should and go directly to the state Medicaid site, although either site will transfer to the other if a person doesn't qualify. Individuals earning as much as $11,499 a year and a family of four earning $23,499 qualify.
Retirees and disabled people now on Medicare are not affected by the new marketplaces, but Gjersvig said many incorrectly believe they will be. The regular open enrollment period for Medicare runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7.

This is Ireland's oldest smokery and Frank Hederman's produce is internationally renowned.
Available from: Belvelly Smokehouse, English Market, local farmers markets, Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason and online. All credit cards.
Remarkably, it's just one of a handful of authentic traditional timber smoke houses worldwide, with salt-cured fish being hung for smoking. Beech wood is used for its subtlety and the age-old hanging technique produces a lean and tender smoked fish that cannot be equalled in modern rack-smoking systems.
Although most famous for his smoked salmon, which is made with both wild and organically farmed fish and has won acclaim from many top chefs, Frank Hederman's range of products includes smoked mackerel (whole and in fillets, also offered with various dressings); smoked mussels in a wholegrain mustard vinaigrette; country butter, and Irish farmhouse cheeses.
He also supplies smoked oats for the smoked oatcakes made by Ditty's of Castledawson (see entry), and garlic and sundried tomatoes for a Hederman smoked tapenade.
Hot smoked fish is also made, by a process carried out at high temperature in an insulated kiln with a live fire; it results in a slow-cooked, succulent fish with a flaky texture.
Frank is well known at markets, notably Midleton Farmers' Market (Sat 9-1), Cobh (Fri 10 -2) and the English Market in Cork city. In the UK both Fortnum & Mason and Selfridges stock Hederman produce.
It's also available by mail order and from their shop, which is well signed on the main Cobh road (phone for opening hours).

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (Un cuento americano: Fievel va al Oeste en Hispanoamérica,y Fievel va al Oeste en España) es una película animada del año 1991 producida por Steven Spielberg y dirigida por Phil Nibbelink y Simon Wells, originalmente estrenada en cines el 22 de noviembre de 1991 en Estados Unidos y el 1 de julio de 1992 en España. Fue la última película en la que estuvo involucrado el famoso actor James Stewart antes de su retiro y posterior muerte en 1997, 6 años luego del estreno de la película.

Trama

Fievel cuenta una historia en el Lejano Oeste que involucra a Wylie Perrales, un viejo perro comisario que se ve rodeado por una pandilla de gatos pero que no muestra señal de temor. Fievel va en su ayuda y con gran habilidad con las pistolas desarma a los gatos, quienes huyen despavoridos. A modo de agradecimiento, el viejo Wylie le entrega una estrella de alguacil, cuando un gato lo ataca por atrás y este reacciona rápidamente. Pero todo se desvanece cuando Fievel escucha que Mama lo está llamando.

Resulta que todo ese escenario era producto de la imaginación del pequeño Fievel, quien vuelve a casa con su familia. Los Ratonovitz se han establecido en el barrio del Bronx de Nueva York. Mientras Papa y Mama preparan la cena, Tanya expresa su deseo de convertirse en una cantante famosa, pese a la queja de los vecinos que la oyen cantar. Una vez reunida la familia, Papa manifiesta su preocupación por la vida que llevan, ya que no están recibiendo las oportunidades que esperaban. Paralelamente, el gato Tigre tampoco tiene tanta suerte, debido que su novia, la Señorita Menina. lo abandona para irse al oeste y porque esperaba tener a "un gato que sea como un perro".

Todo se interrumpe cuando unos gatos vuelven a atacar a los ratones del barrio, pero esta vez son dirigidos por el Gastón, un misterioso gato con acento británico, que ordena usar todo tipo de violencia pero sin devorar. Los Ratonovitz y el resto de los ratones se ven obligados a escapar por las alcantarillas. Una vez al interior, ven que hay unos ratones escuchando a un ratón vaquero que les habla sobre nuevas oportunidades de vida en Green River, un pueblo ubicado en el Oeste, donde supuestamente ratones y gatos coexisten de forma pacífica. La idea entusiasma a todos los presentes que reciben boletos para dirigirse al oeste en tren. Lo que no saben es que el ratón vaquero es una marioneta manipulada por el propio Gastón .

Los Ratonovitz abordan el tren con dirección a Green River. Fievel se entristece por no poder despedirse a tiempo de Tigre, pero este se entera a último momento de su viaje y corre a la estación. En el camino es perseguido por una jauría de perros furiosos que lo alcanzan en el último vagón. Creyendo haberse librado de ellos, Tigre cae al mar siendo recogido por un barco pesquero, del cual es arrojado hacia una diligencia que lo termina arrastrando por todo el camino.

Mientras tanto, el tren hacia Green River cruza todo Estados Unidos con los ratones entusiasmados de nuevas oportunidades de vida. Una noche, Fievel se mueve hacia otro vagón del tren y descubre la marioneta que usaba Gastón, y que su plan era atraer a los ratones para luego convertirlos en hamburguesas. Fievel deja caer accidentalmente el títere y Gastón lo atrapa en sus garras. Aunque se vio tentado para devorarlo, este lo deja ir. Pero la araña Chula, esbirro del gato, provoca que Fievel caiga del tren, ante la angustia de su familia. El tren llega a destino y los ratones comienzan a establecerse ahí. Chula bloquea el pozo del agua, y Gastón incita a los ratones para trabajar en conjunto con los gatos para construir un saloon.

Fievel deambula por el desierto viendo espejismos debido a la falta de agua. Lo mismo hace Tigre, quien también fue abandonado y después es capturado por ratones indios para ser comido, pero lo terminan adorando como un dios. Al caer la noche, un halcón atrapa a Fievel, pero es liberado cuando los indios lo cazan. Fievel y Tigre se reencuentran, y este último le promete ir a Green River en cuanto resuelva su asunto con los indios. Con la ayuda de una planta rodadora, Fievel se dirige al pueblo.

Una vez allí, se reencuentra con su familia y les cuenta los verdaderos planes de Gastón. Pero no logra convencerlos, ya que aparentemente hay una buena armonía entre roedores y felinos. Fievel entra al saloon y confirma sus sospechas que incluye una ratonera gigante. Cuando es nuevamente capturado, Gastón escucha a Tanya cantar y queda maravillado con su voz. Se la presenta a Menina, quien es la estrella del saloon, para que se haga cargo de ella. Aunque Tanya muestra entusiasmo, pronto siente miedo al escenario, pero Menina la anima para que pueda cantar. Tanya se presenta ante el público felino y logra dar un buen espectáculo. Durante su presentación, Fievel logra escapar de la araña Chula, quien lo persigue por el saloon. Logra zafarse de él e intenta sacar a Tanya del escenario, pero ella se niega decidida a quedarse con su público.

Mientras pasea por las calles del pueblo, profundamente preocupado, Fievel se topa con un perro que se encontraba durmiendo. Para su sorpresa, resulta ser Wylie Perrales. Cuando le pide ayuda para detener a los gatos, el viejo no muestra ninguna motivación. Solo accede ayudarlo si le trae un perro para que él lo entrene. Fievel no conoce a otro perro, pero va a buscar a Tigre -quien todavía cree que es un dios- para que sea entrenado por Wylie. Este se niega al principio, pero cuando su amigo le dice que Menina está en Green River, acepta.

El entrenamiento revela toda la torpeza de Tigre, pero Fievel no pierde la fe en él. Tigre logra tomar confianza y supera las pruebas de Wylie, y los tres se dirigen al pueblo.

Al llegar, todos los ratones se presentan ante Gastón para reabrir el saloon. El gato se dispone a cortar la cinta oficial que activaría la ratonera gigante con los ratones en su interior. Pero es desarmado por un disparo de Tigre, y comienza un tiroteo con hondas entre los gatos y los tres héroes. Al descubrir la ratonera, Tanya logra evacuar a los ratones gracias a su canto. Usando un revólver gigante, Gastón trata de tomar ventaja, pero Fievel se lo arrebata con la ayuda de Wylie. Pero Chula toma de rehén a Menina y amenaza con dejarla caer. Esto enfurece a Tigre que ataca con todo a los gatos, quienes son apilados en la ratonera. Neutraliza a la araña y salva a su novia. Y Fievel activa la ratonera que lanza a los gatos, incluyendo a Gastón. a modo de catapulta. Los felinos aterrizan en una bolsa de correos que son recogidos por un tren que pasaba por ahí. Dicha acción desbloquea el pozo de agua y los ratones comienzan a celebrar.

Mientras el pueblo celebra, Wylie se aleja hacia el desierto. Fievel lo acompaña y recibe la estrella de comisario. Aunque duda al principio, lo acepta como motivación para nuevas aventuras.

History of the Christian Church - chronicles the history of Apostolic Christianity A.D. 1-100, through the Ante-Nicene, Nicene, and Post-Nicene and through the history of the reformation. For over 100 years, many serious students of the Bible consider this work to be the standard for exploring and researching church history.
Philip Schaff (1819 –1893), was born in Chur, Switzerland, and was educated at the gymnasium of Stuttgart, and at the universities of Tübingen, Halle and Berlin. He then traveled through Italy and Sicily as tutor to Baron Krischer. In 1842 he was Privatdozent in the University of Berlin, and in 1843 he was called to Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, to teach church history and biblical literature, he was ordained as a minister of the Reformed Church in April 1844 and in July of that year arrived in the United States. For nineteen years he taught at Mercersburg Academy where he helped to develop the Mercersburg Theology, with its emphasis on the church and the sacraments. In 1863 he moved to New York City, where he became secretary of the New York Sabbath Committee, an organization opposed to the secularization of Sunday. In 1870 he joined the faculty of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where he served until his death. His ecumenical interests were shown in his strong support of the Evangelical Alliance, of which he was the American secretary, and of the Alliance of Reformed Churches.
A brilliant, detailed account of the history of Christianity up to and including the continental Reformation. Well written and easy to read. One of the most informative and valuable treatments available.


Which Remortgage Deals | What Remortgage Deals are there?
A number of different mortgages are available on the open and it is possible to search for the best suited one. Using this kind of mortgages you consent to paying a flat interest on your mortgages for a certain amount of money. Although there is no limitation on how long you can commit your interest rates to most deals, they tended to be for two, three or five years.
When the Bank of England's key interest rates fall, your refunds fall. The majority of deals will take two, three or five years. For example, if you have 20,000 in your life saving and you have 200,000 on your mortgages, you only get interest on 180,000. Mortgages advisors do some of the tough work for you, and make sure that you have the best mortgages for you.

Rush of tributes for America's last violin giant
Tributes are pouring on for Aaron Rosand who died last night of pneumonia, aged 92.
Stephen Waarts: 'Thank you Mr. Rosand for your incredible influence in my life and contribution to the world of music. I feel so grateful for all the time, wisdom, and generosity you shared with me through the years.'
Robert Koenig: 'I'm so saddened and heartbroken to hear of the passing of legendary violinist Aaron Rosand. As a young student at the Curtis Institute of Music, I was so enthralled to be working with his long list of incredible students and spent countless hours in his studio. I could never have imagined that I'd have the opportunity to perform and tour with him and will always cherish that time together. RIP, dear Maestro….You will never truly know the gift that you have given me.'
Brinton Smith: 'One of the greatest is gone.'
Quinton Morris: 'My mentor, former teacher and a man who inspired and challenged me to think outside the box and dared Me to be different. A legend has passed – Mr. Aaron Rosand. He was one of my confidants who insisted on me getting a lesson at his home before I played any recital at Carnegie Hall, which consisted of a coaching…followed by smoking cigars, drinking scotch and reading duos half drunk at his house. We had a bond and a very special relationship. He called me SONNY, which was followed by a cough and a chuckle by me. I will miss him dearly. Thank you, Mr. Rosand for your contributions to the music world and teaching inspiration worldwide. I will miss our phone chats immensely.'
Hugh Sung: 'I owe this maestro more than I can put into words. He opened my ears to a whole world of artistic individualism while at the same time taking me – quite literally – around the world with performances and recordings. '
Kimberlee Dray: 'oday we learned of the passing of an iconic violinist, Aaron Rosand, whose recording of the Arensky Violin Concerto I listened to in tears while sitting right next to him. He leaves an incredible legacy and I will always be grateful he took the time to encourage a Mom who really loves to play. I think that says a lot about him.'
Just listen. A hero around here, and a guardian of the flame. RIP Aaron Rosandhttps://t.co/LX5EmMg6Y8 https://t.co/LX5EmMg6Y8

I have some deeply saddening news to share with you. My teacher Aaron Rosand passed away last night. I learned so much from him; his pure, beautiful sound that would shimmer and cry when being drawn from the instrument; his gruff laugh that would often be accompanied by some sort of rebuke telling me that I wasn't sustaining the line enough, or that I needed to "find my own sound". He was tough on me, but only because he believed in me. There's not one day that goes by when I don't think about the things he said to me during our time lessons. I'm still learning every day thanks to you Mr Rosand. We will miss you, but your legacy lives strong in the wonderful musicians you've produced.

Aaron Rosand joined the Curtis faculty in 1981 when John de Lancie engaged Aaron Rosand and Szymon Goldberg to replace the recently deceased Ivan Galamian. Aaron held the Dorothy Richard Starling chair at Curtis and personally endowed the Aaron Rosand chair for his friend. the late Joseph Silverstein.
Aaron Rosand was a performer and teacher who always championed the highest standards even in the selection of his legendary Havana cigars. He had many friends, a large group of admiring colleagues, legions of grateful students, and yes, even a few enemies who did not agree with his outspoken championing of the traditions of Efrem Zimbalist and the other disciples of the Russian school of virtuoso violin playing.
We sat together for many years during Curtis violin auditions and he kept copious notes on every candidate. Occasionally he would give someone a very high grade but write "NFC" after his remarks. Assuming a more sinister meaning with the N = no and the C = chance, I asked him what it meant. His reply: "Not for Curtis" meaning that although he liked the candidate, he felt that their musical personality was not compatible with the Curtis tradition.
Bon voyage, bon vent, while thinking of La Havanaise with cigar smoke wafting in the air, Maestro Rosand.
NYMike says:
As recounted to me by Joey Silverstein a few years ago – when Galamian tattled to Zimbalist that Joey was running to NY on weekends to coach with Dounis, Zimmie kicked Joey out of school. Years later as Joey had made his own illustrious career including occupying classmate Rosand's endowed chair, Aaron made a trip to NV to see Zimmie. While there, he regaled Zimmie with tales of Joey's success, begging him to relent and allow Joey to finally graduate in his original '50 class. Zimbalist did so.

This is a devastating loss. He was a true artist and gentleman. Words cannot express. May his memory be for a blessing.
Jan Kaznowski says:
In this 1982 NYT article, he talks about his early days :
"things were very difficult for me. My wife and I were not living well nor eating well for that matter. I remember becoming known as a pinch-hitter – going in for indisposed violinists. I played for Milstein, Szigeti and others, because word had spread that I had a vast repertory of concertos at my fingertips, and could step-in at a moment's notice. But as for a career – it was still pretty impossible."
"I didn't make the phone calls, I didn't write the letters.. In the business, I didn't have a thick enough accent"

JamesM says:
OMG he was wonderful, and very underrated in the mainstream. I remember a Carnegie Hall recital in the 70s that thrilled me to no end. "Discovery" repertoire, as he enjoyed presenting, played by a master. Thankfully there are recordings, though not enough from Mr. Rosand. He will be so missed!
David K. Nelson says:
I am saddened to hear this news; I had the wonderful opportunity many years ago to interview Aaron Rosand for Fanfare Magazine at the Bein & Fushi shop in Chicago (he was giving a masterclass that evening). He could not have been more gracious to me and to my wife, and in spite of a rushed schedule he gave me all the time we needed. He did not harp on the situation with Stern when I asked about it but did acknowledge it. Quite correctly, he did not want it to be the topic of the interview.
He was pretty firm with all the students he heard that night: ditch the shoulder pad. Of course he had the ideal build for a violinist NOT to use a shoulder pad and those of us with longer necks find it hard to do without one. But yes, the violin sounds so much better without one.
Fortunately for all of us, about the time of that interview and for several years after he was finally able to record the true masterworks of the violin concerto literature such as the Beethoven, Brahms and Sibelius concerti, as well as unaccompanied Bach and many sonatas and recital pieces with Hugh Sung pianist. And Vox did a fairly good job of remastering for CD his earliest recordings, including the Beethoven sonatas and the Sarasate dances.
It might be that Rosand has (now "had," alas) the last of the immediately identifiable violin tones, no matter if the recording was a Vox item circa 1960 or one of the digital Vox or Biddulph releases made decades later. And there was never a need to site age as a qualifying basis for a Rosand recording – I have never heard anything but splendid playing from him. He was seemingly ageless from a violinistic standpoint. And as much as his nemesis Isaac Stern also made great recordings and gave great concerts, the same could not be said of Stern; in those final years you had to make excuses for the playing in concert and on recordings.
And Rosand had real stamina – I remember a Milwaukee Symphony appearance where on the same program (!) he played the Sarasate Carmen Fantasy, the Chausson Poeme, and the Ernst f# minor concerto — at the rehearsal I was amazed when he gently corrected the percussion section for adding an unwritten tambourine beat (which he heard while fiddling away like crazy) and played on violin a tricky chromatic passage of the cello part of the Ernst without hesitation when the cello section had issues with it.
His violin mechanics, in short, were perfect.
It is unfortunate but some of his very nicest recital recordings were on Julian Kreeger's Audiofon label which seems to be long gone, as are many of those early CD labels (it featured lots of piano recordings as I recall). Should you happen to see any of the following available, snap them up: solo violin works by Bach, Telemann and Ysaye (CD 72012); Sonatas by Respighi, Walton and Sibelius with John Covelli, pianist (CD 72020), and sonatas of Strauss, Grieg and Saint-Saens with Seymour Lipkin, pianist (CD 72026).
fierywoman says:
When I was 16 and at the Reston (VA) Music Center, Rosand came down and played the Beethoven and Brahms violin concertos on the same program! How did we luck out? It was astounding.
Esther Cavett says:
===at the rehearsal I was amazed when he gently corrected the percussion section for adding an unwritten tambourine beat (which he heard while fiddling away like crazy)
I *love* stories like that. Thanks for sharing !
Peter Hughes says:
I am deeply saddened to learn of Aaron Rosand's passing. The brief time I spent with him was life altering. The impact of his life, his playing and his teaching, will be felt for many for years to come.


All nonferrous metals traded on the LME are higher in 2016 but two have exploded due to supply-side fundamentals. In my latest article for Seeking Alpha, I examine all of the base metals with particular attention to the prospects for tin and zinc which are up over 30% and 40% respectively so far this year.

About 5 months ago we gave you a run down on a bunch of things we wanted to get done on the first floor. Since we're feeling like we haven't made progress in a bit, I thought it was time for an update to see how many things we've crossed off.
To remind you, this was our floor plan back then.
Get rid of french doors?
When you look at what we've finished in the past five months it's reassuring that we haven't been sitting on our butts the whole time. It's also awesome that the first 3 spaces have everything crossed off the list and we have a much better vision for what the rest of the first floor will look like. Now we just have to tackle the rest of the list!


I am about to graduate, and one of my greatest fears is that I won't have any friends after college. I know it sounds irrational, but I have had a bad history with friendships. Throughout my childhood, I alternated between one best friend I would become tired of and a group of friends where everyone else seemed closer to each other than they were to me. Is there hope for me? Or will my greatest fear soon become realized? In my desire to learn more about forming friendships, I began to research how people form attachments. According to the British psychiatrist John Bowlby, "our early attachments with our parents and other caregivers shape our relationships for the rest of our lives." The key to healthy relationships must be found in examining early attachments.
One of John Bowlby's collaborators, a developmental psychologist named Mary Ainsworth, invented the Strange Situation in 1969 to evaluate early attachment. The Strange Situation is an experiment where 12-18-month-olds are briefly separated from their mothers and then reunited. Ainsworth and her team observed two major categories of behavior. Some babies were distressed when their mothers left, and then comforted when they came back. The babies then explored the room and showed their mothers the toys they found. The other babies were either distressed when their mothers left and still inconsolable after they returned, or had no response when their mothers left and ignored them when they returned. Babies who exhibited behavior consistent with the first category were classified as securely attached, while babies who exhibited behavior consistent with the second category were classified as insecurely attached.
Studies have shown that early attachment styles predict adult attachment styles. Securely attached babies are most likely to become adults who believe they are lovable and others are generally responsive. They are comfortable with independence and intimacy. Insecurely attached babies are most likely to become adults with relationships characterized by avoidance and/or anxiety. Adults with anxious style relationships have a high view of others but a low view of themselves; they look to others for validation, yet anticipate rejection and constantly look for signs that others are losing interest. Adults with avoidant style relationships have a low view of others but a high view of themselves; their high self-esteem protects a "fragile self that is highly vulnerable to wounds." They are fearful of emotional intimacy and typically respond to conflict or a stressful situation by becoming distant and aloof.
I would argue that at its core, insecure attachment is an inability to set emotional boundaries. According to author and clinical psychologist Henry Cloud, boundaries are "lines… that mark a limit, bound, or border." One type of boundary is the psychological kind, which is the "realization of our own person apart from others." Boundaries are meant to be permeable, for they are merely lines, not walls: just as people can enter and exit private property as invited, so should encouragement and emotional support flow in and out of a person. Adults with anxious style relationships are unable to see where others end and they begin; they feel entitled to have validation and support from others, and do not believe they have anything worth giving. Adults with avoidant style relationships construct walls, rather than boundaries, around their lives. They do not allow others to enter into their personal struggles and choose to carry giant burdens on their own.
I am unsure of what my attachment style was as an infant, since I never went through the Strange Situation procedure, but as an adult, descriptions of both avoidant and anxious relationships characterize most of my friendships. I have consistently struggled to believe that I am lovable. With some people, I continually expect the other person to lose interest in maintaining our friendship; with others, I become distant when we experience conflict, choosing to become withdrawn rather than experience further pain by discussing a difference in opinion.
Like nearly everyone, I want to be securely attached to others. And it is possible I was securely attached as an infant. But maybe somewhere between age eighteen months and age twenty-one, I forgot how to be securely attached. Maybe as my needs changed to include social, emotional, and cognitive aspects, I never learned how to attach myself to a caregiver who could provide for more than just my physical needs. Maybe I need to think as an infant again to learn how to meet my need for lifelong friendships.
How do I become securely attached as an adult? It appears that I cannot attach to another human in the same way I attached to my mother as an infant, for no one has the capacity to take care of me in the same way. Specifically, no one knows my needs perfectly, no one has the resources, and no one has the responsibility.
It may be true that my mother was extremely responsive to my physical needs when I was an infant, but my needs were much simpler then: to be fed, have my diaper changed, experience physical contact, be exposed to language. As an adult, my needs are much more complicated, and the reality is that people will inevitably fail to meet my needs. They do not know exactly what I need, much less how to provide for my needs; indeed, I rarely know exactly what I need.
Furthermore, no one has the resources to take care of me like an infant. Ask any parent, and s/he will tell you babies are a 24/7 responsibility. Even the best of friends cannot be responsive to my needs 24/7 because they cannot be everywhere at the same time. In addition, even if someone were available 24/7, no one would have the willingness to respond to my needs every second of every day because that can be exhausting.
Finally, it was my mother's responsibility to take care of me, for we were in a hierarchical relationship. It would be irresponsible to have my mother do everything for me now that she did when I was three months old. We are now both adults with our own lives to lead. My friends are peers with their own lives to lead, and asking a friend to be responsive 24/7 could lead to resentment.
So where does that leave me? Am I left to be perpetually let down by others? Do I need to simply "grow up" and accept that it is unreasonable to expect this kind of love from others?
No, while it is unreasonable to look to others for fulfillment of my needs, I choose to believe in a God who is a perfect Father, regardless of my age. First, unlike my parents and friends, he "knows what [I] need before [I] ask him." He is aware of my more complicated needs, like my need to be loved and accepted and have purpose. He knows when I need someone to listen and when I need someone to tell me the painful truth.
Second, unlike my parents and friends, he has the capacity to be responsive to me 24/7. He is with me 24/7, and declares he will never leave me. He is beyond time, for "with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." He has the financial capacity to respond to my every need for the entire earth is His.
Finally, I will never move beyond that hierarchical relationship with God. My parents have always known they would have to let me go for at least two reasons: they cannot be with me forever, and they are imperfect people. One day, their minds and/or bodies will become frail, and I will need to take care of them, reversing our hierarchical relationship. And on another day, my parents will die and leave me on this earth. However, God is unchanging, and he is with me forever, as mentioned above. As I grow in my understanding, I recognize more and more that my parents are imperfect. Although I respect them, I would not choose to obey anyone for the rest of my life unless I knew his or her character was perfect. But because God's character is perfect, I can try to emulate him and see him as the standard of perfection. Thus, he is a Father who never has to let his children go and I can always remain a child in his presence. Like a child, I can securely attach myself to God, knowing he will never let me down.
What happens when I am securely attached to God? I have the freedom to explore, like the securely attached infants who used their mothers as a base from which they explored the room. I have the freedom to run experiments on the world and create beautiful artwork using the world's resources, which I can run to show my Father, knowing he delights in seeing my handicraft.
When I am securely attached in the love the Father has for me, I can engage with other people and build friendships with them, for I know there is one person I can always count on. Rather than needing to be built up by others and running after their affirmation and approval to feel like I have purpose and belonging, I can rest in the fact that God loves me unconditionally. This gives me the freedom to love others out of abundance, rather than need.
When I am securely attached to God, I can love my friends enough to go to them for community but not to fill the places only God can fill. I can stop trying to be God in other people's lives by having their well-being depend on me and point them to the only one who can fill those hollow places.
When I am securely attached to God, I can discern the boundary between needs only God can fulfill and needs God uses other humans to fulfill. I sit on a boundary between God and man, and only when I am securely attached can I distinguish between what is supposed to come from God's side of the line, and what is supposed to come from man's side of the line. All the "good" comes from God, but God sometimes uses other humans to send me "good" on His behalf.
I do not mean to say friendships are unimportant or unnecessary. Rather, the relationship God desires to have with man is emulated in the very best of human friendships. What kind of friendship am I imagining? The kind of friendship based on unconditional love. The kind of friendship where I can have other friends and other interests. The kind of friendship where I already know the other person cares about me, so I don't need to be with him/her every second of every day. The kind of friendship where I bring up where I have been hurt by the other person instead of distancing myself. The kind of friendship I want to replicate in all my other friendships. The kind of friendship where encouragement rapidly flows in and out.
Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend call the "Serenity Prayer" the greatest boundary prayer ever prayed.
Here is my version for you: You cannot change your early attachment style. You also cannot change the fact that your Father loves you infinitely. What you can change is your perception of your Father. Rest in his unconditional love for you, and all else will follow.

27 years living off-grid on a self-built island homestead
Freedom Cove is a rare and very special place. It's a man-made floating island that acts as a homestead, an art installation, and a home to Catherine and Wayne in Tofino, BC, Canada.
The project started with a small float home that was built using wood that had washed ashore after a storm, and since moving into it in 1992, they've gradually added new buildings, greenhouses, and an outdoor dance floor to create a fully off-grid, floating homestead where they can grow most of their own food, earn a living as artists, and reduce their environmental footprint.
