In 2014, the popular chain, Great Wolf Lodge, brought its brand of indoor water park fun to New England. Previously, the property had been part of the Coco Key Water Resort chain (and before that it was a nondescript, standard hotel). Great Wolf Lodge expanded the size of the indoor water park and the number of hotel rooms as well as added other amenities and remodeled the property in general.
The charming resort now sports a whimsical Northwoods theme and offers a full array of activities. It is the largest indoor water park in New England. It could be a great getaway mini-vacation for families with children up to and including tweens.
Water Park Overview
Regardless of the season or the weather (and the region is known for its often harsh and long winters), the Boston-area resort offers a climate-controlled way to jump into the water and have a ball. The major water park, which is included in the hotel's room rates, offers a variety of slides and rides at all thrill levels.
For daredevils, Great Wolf Lodge New England features two marquee attractions. The Howlin' Tornado is a funnel ride. Riders board four-passenger cloverleaf tubes, shoot down an enclosed tube, and soar up and down the sides of a huge funnel. You can read about the similar High Anxiety funnel ride to get a sense of the concept. For Wolf Tail, intrepid riders climb into a launch capsule and nervously wait for the trap door to open and release them into into a hairy speed slide that includes a 360-degree loop.
More moderate thrills await on River Canyon Run, a family raft ride in an enclosed, darkened tube. Alberta Falls offers two enclosed slides that rides can navigate in either one- or two-passenger tubes. The park's Otter Run is a body slide—no tube needed on this ride.
The thrills are muted on a number of Great Wolf's attractions. Slap Tail Pond is the park's wave pool, where the waves are fairly mild. The lazy river, Crooked Creek, allows riders to gently circumnavigate the park in an endless loop. At Chinook Cove, activities include water basketball. Guests can chill out (metaphorically speaking) in the park's North Hot Springs hot tub.
For younger visitors, Great Wolf offers Fort Mackenzie, a multi-level, interactive water play center with sprayers, small slides, and an enormous tipping bucket. Whooping Hollow and Cub Paw Pool are specifically designed for the tiniest park-goers with tot-sized slides and activities. When the weather cooperates, there are a few outdoor water activities geared to youngsters at Tadpole Pond.

Other Things to Do
The water park may be the main attraction, but Great Wolf Lodge features additional attractions. MagiQuest is an interactive game experience. Armed with a responsive magic wand, participants engage with video stations located throughout the resort. Unlike the water park, which is included for all hotel guests, Magi Quest requires an additional fee.
Other extra-charge activities include the Northern Lights Arcade, which offers redemption games and other arcade games, Ten Paw Alley, which features kid-sized bowling lanes, the indoor Howl at the Moon mini-golf, the Lazer Frenzy laser tag maze, the Howly Wood (you gotta love these names!) XD Theater, a 4D ride, and Creation Station, a make-your-own-stuffed-animal experience. The Scoops Kids Spa offers manicures and other services for young fashionistas.
Dry activities that are included with room rates include kid-friendly Yoga Tails classes, a guided Wolf Walk through the resort's Northwoods-themed lobby, crafts making, face painting, group games, and nightly storytelling. For adults, the resort offers a fitness center.
The Hotel
Great Wolf Lodge New England offers over 400 guest rooms, all of them configured as suites. Themed suites include whimsical touches such as a dedicated area for young children made to look like a bunkhouse. As with the rest of the resort, the room's feature the chain's signature rustic, deep woods look. Sizes range from standard Family Suites designed for four up to premium Grizzly Wolf Den Suites that sleep nine and include two bathrooms.
The resort includes a conference center and welcomes business meetings, events, weddings, and other functions.
What's to Eat?
The main restaurant is Lodge Wood Fired Grill, which specializes in wood-fired steaks, seafood (this is New England, after all), and BBQ ribs. Inside the water park, Buckets Incredible Craveables serves burgers, fries, and other lighter fare. There is also Hungry as a Wolf pizza parlor, Bear Paw Sweets & Eats, and a Dunkin' Donuts (like I said this is New England).
Admission Policy
The water park is open only to registered hotel guests and admission is included in the room rate. Day passes are not available. The only exception is for birthdays and other parties. Packages are available for a minimum of 10 guests and includes use of a party room, pizza, drinks, cake, and water park passes.
Fitchburg, Massachusetts (west of Boston, about 20 miles from Worcester). The address is 150 Royal Plaza Drive.
The resort is located off US Route 2 at Exit 28. From points east: Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) West to I-495 North to US Route 2 West to Exit 28. From points west: Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) East to I-290 East to I-290 North to US Route 2 West to Exit 28.
Another water park in the Boston area is CoCo Key Water Resort Danvers. it is located about 20 miles north of the city (about 40 minutes by car).

The Obama administration is backing legislation that includes regulations requiring U.S. businesses to provide to the government data about employee pay as it relates to the sex, race and national origin of employees.
In an orchestrated effort that included a statement by President Barack Obama and an event at the White House featuring Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, the president and his cabinet endorsed the Paycheck Fairness Act.
The House approved the act in 2009, but the Senate did not approve it. In the 111th Congress, both the House and the Senate have offered legislation that covers a wide range of workplace requirements and regulations, including training girls and women to become better at negotiating pay and benefits, and the establishment of a data base of U.S. workers' pay in both the public and private sector.

It's just a fact that after the Ryan pick, Team Romney broke a six-week losing streak and then entered a week-long winning streak that moved the polls in the right direction both nationally and in the swing states.
Obviously, this means that hopelessly corrupt media outlets like Politico start to panic, and what better way to freeze the race and stop Romney's momentum than with a big, fat, bright and shiny distraction like a Sunday night breaking news drop about a year-old incident involving Republican Congressmen skinny-dipping in the holy Sea of Galilee?
And since that alone isn't quite sexy enough, why not toss in an F.B.I. investigation into the mix?
Except, whoops, Politico implying the F.B.I. was investigating skinny dipping isn't even close to the truth.
FBI Wasn't Investigating Skinny Dipping in Israel …
Politico reported Monday that several lawmakers went swimming – including Rep. Kevin Yoder (R., Kan.), sans clothing — after a long night of drinking, and that the FBI investigated the matter, though it did not specify what exactly the agency had examined. …
Numerous congressional ethics-law experts interviewed Monday said the FBI does not care if lawmakers swim naked and that the investigation must be a matter under the agency's jurisdiction. 'Last time I checked, skinny dipping anywhere, including a foreign country, is not a federal crime,' said Jan Baran, head of the election law group at Wiley Rein LLP.
The person familiar with the investigation said the FBI came across details of the swimming incident while examining the Israel trip and a trip Rep. Grimm made afterward to Cyprus, but that the swimming incident wasn't relevant to the probe.
Unfortunately for the hopelessly corrupt Politico, though the story did get some play from NBC's Chuck Todd and CNN's Wolf Blitzer (neither even tried to cover their glee), Todd Akin's stupid comments about rape and abortion pretty much stole the thunder Politico was undoubtedly counting on to drive the week.
In the end, though, all Politico ended up doing was getting caught red-handed in yet another blatantly dishonest piece of left-wing hackery.

Aston Villa skipper Micah Richards has been banned for one match with immediate effect by the Football Association.
The defender – who has also been fined £10,000 – will miss Monday's Barclays Premier League match at Tottenham after admitting a misconduct charge following Villa's 2-1 defeat to Swansea last month.
The charge related to an incident in the tunnel after the final whistle with Richards still angry following a clash with the Swans' Federico Fernandez which happened during the game.
The defeat to Swansea ended Tim Sherwood's eight-month reign at Villa Park and the club appointed former Lyon boss Remi Garde as his successor on Monday.
Richards will be available again for the visit of his former club Manchester City on Sunday where Garde will take charge of the team for the first time.

I'm a big-time right-click and open in new tab user, but having the buttons "hard-click" sound every time I click on something is going to drive my housemates nuts.
Any suggestions out there? Thanks.
My only suggestion is to just tap the scroll pad above the buttons, it basically does the same thing unless you are doing a copy and paste.
Found it. Took some digging, but a two-finger tap is apparently the trick. Weird that the touchpad doesn't support left-click and right-click by where you tap the touchpad.

Three top quality table tennis matches from the Champions League and ETTU Cup on Friday night and ETTU TV powered by LAOLA1.tv will of course be bringing you all of the action LIVE and FREE! We are now in the knock-out stages of the competitions, but the question is, who will progress?
ETTU Champions League Women – KTS Zamek Tarnobrzeg – Fenerbahce Sport Kulubu | 17.01.2014 18:30 CET
A Friday full of table tennis starts at 18:30 CET in Poland from the Champions League. This one is a repeat of last season's ETTU cup final, which the Turkish side was able to win. The home team will no doubt want to exact revenge on their opponents in this match, and a place in the final of the Champions League would certainly make up for losing out on the gold in 2013. Join the action at 18:30 CET on Friday night to find out if which of these teams will take the initiative in this match on http://ettu.laola1.tv.
ETTU Cup Men – Bogoria Grodzisk Mazowiecki – FC Saarbrücken TT | 17.01.2014 19:00 CET
We stay in Poland for the next match which begins at 19:00 CET in the ETTU Cup. This will be the first time these two teams have ever met each other, so it will be very unknown territory for both clubs. The Polish team are doing very well in the Polish Championship at the moment and will feel confident of giving the Germans a run for their money over these two matches. Saarbrücken started the season in the Champions League but were only able to finish 3rd in group B behind UMMC and Pontoise. Tune in at 19:00 CET LIVE and FREE on Friday night for the action on http://ettu.laola1.tv.
ETTU Champions League Men – Vaillante Sports Angers TT – SVS Niederösterreich | 17.01.2014 19:30 CET
We return to the Champions League for the 3rd match of the evening, this time from the men's event as French side Vaillante Sports Angers TT welcome SVS Niederösterreich. There was drama at the end of 2013 as Chartes were disqualified from the tournament, but that still means that France has three more teams looking to bring the trophy back to the country. Both of these teams finished 2nd in their groups, and we all know that there are no easy ties at this stage of the competition. This one really could go either way. Who will take the advantage and win the first leg of this quarter final? Join us LIVE and FREE at 19:30 CET to find out on http://ettu.laola1.tv.

Stress: You attract more of where you're at
Thought I'd share one of my angry videos for a change, as I usually wait until after I feel better before I record, but this time, I thought I'd share my thought-process and how it doesn't serve me to be all "victim-mode" and that only by turning around these negative thoughts and beliefs to positive ones, will solutions and happiness return.

This graph is a good indicator of what is to come (and when). It shows that subprime ARM resets will hit their peak in the next few months, while the Option ARMs, Prime ARM, and Alt-A ARM resets will peak in the next 36 months or so.
The sheer numbers are staggering, especially in the subprime market: $35 billion in subprime ARMs will reset in the coming months, and I believe that these are the problem loans. I'm sure that a sizeable amount of these loans are high LTV mortgages, and in a declining market, these loans will be nearly impossible to refinance, whether FHASecure is available or not. Keep in mind that HUD estimates that only 250,000 borrowers will be able to qualify for FHASecure.
I guess the good news is once we get past the next 6 months or so, the market should be in better shape. Most Option ARMs, Prime ARMs, and Alt-A ARMs have lower LTVs and higher credit scores, and for the most part, these borrowers should be in a better position to refinance to a fixed rate.

What Will NASA Find on Jupiter?
This week marked the exciting arrival of the space probe Juno into the orbit of Jupiter after nearly five year's of journeying across the Solar System.
The spacecraft is specifically designed to study the planet's gravity and magnetic fields, as well as how the planet formed, if there is water on it, and if it has a rocky core.
Though Juno is officially said to be an acronym for "JUpiter Near-polar Orbiter," scientists and classics lovers are having the last laugh, for while some of Jupiter's moons are named after the Roman god's lovers, Juno is the name of his wife. Be it as it were, this historic mission to the gas giant is really just like a wife coming to check in on her unfaithful husband.
Before NASA even begins to get back the information collected by Juno, the rest of us have wildly been guessing just what they might discover on Jupiter, so much in fact that it quickly became a viral trending hashtag on Twitter.
Here are the best guesses for #ThingsFoundOnJupiter!

There is power in music. Which is one of the reasons why I admire Sade. Her words vibrate through my soul and feed my subconscious pure goodness. One's choice of music can truly have an impact on their character and overall life. As a young teenager, listening to Sade, I learned the significance of nature. I began to understand that there was no separation between me and my environment. With this awareness, I acknowledged my true power.
Sade recognizes the connection between women and nature. In many of her videos, she portrays herself as Mother Earth. She is either under the sea, on top of a mountain or in the middle of the desert. No matter where she is, it's most likely amongst nature. There is no separation between her and her surroundings. Sade humanizes nature. Reminding us that Mother Nature is alive, she is here and present with us, at all times.
The essence of nature is feminine
The term "Mother Nature" is not used by coincidence… A female's womb creates life and so does nature. The ways in which a nurturing mother supports her child, through pregnancy, breast feeding and pure affection, is closely linked to the support nature provides for us and all other species. From fruits, vegetables, to the air that we breathe, nature is always here to be our loving mother. She responds to us and is constantly evolving with us.
"When women reassert their relationship with the wildish nature, they are gifted with a permanent and internal watcher, a knower, a visionary, an oracle, an inspiratrice, an intuitive, a maker, a creator, an inventor, and a listener who guides, suggests and urges life in the inner and outer world." – Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Below I added two of my favorite music videos by Sade. In the first video, she represents herself as Mother Earth. In the second video, she reveals herself as a nurturing mother. Aside from this, her words are influential and soulful. I hope these videos resonate with you as they do with me. Xoxo

|The lovely Cranberry Crumb Cheese Tart
One of the things I made this week was a lovely Cranberry Crumb Tart, to take to a friend who just had knee replacement surgery. After some thought of what I could do to help, I decided to make dinner for them. It would be a nice way to relieve some of the stress on him and his wife. So, last thursday I made my Sherried Beef which I posted a year ago. For desert, since I had a can of whole berry cranberry sauce sitting in my pantry, I thought Cranberry Crumb Tart sounded like a wonderful choice. This tart has a yummy layer of cream cheese, a layer of whole berry cranberry sauce, and topped with a crunchy walnut crumb topping. Quite wonderful!
|Pre-bake pie crust
|When cool, spread with cream cheese layer, then cranberry layer
|Sprinkle crumb topping over the top…then bake 45 min. @ 375 degrees

You've seen the trailers. You know, the one where a dude is standing on top of a police car doing the robot with pink panties and a bra on. Well, that dude is Justin Chon (from the Twilight series), and he's starring in the film 21 & Over as Jeff Chang.
In 21 & Over, Jeff's two best friends from high school (Skylar Astin and Miles Teller) visit him at college on his 21st birthday. Even though Jeff has a medical school interview the next morning, all three go out and get completely wasted. However, things turn ugly as his friends struggle to get Jeff home and also discover a dark secret about him.
In an interview with Campus Circle, Chon dished us details about the film.
Campus Circle: Can you tell us a little bit about 21 & Over?
Justin Chon: My character, Jeff Chang, it's his 21st birthday, and he has a medical school interview the following day. His two dummy best friends come up to get him drunk for his 21st birthday. He refuses, but he agrees to have one beer, but obviously that one beer turns into absolute mayhem and chaos.
CC: What was your reaction when you found out you got the part of Jeff Chang?
JC: I was excited, especially for me being an Asian, an ethnic actor. These kinds of roles don't come up too often. It was definitely an honor, and I was really excited to work with Jon [Lucas] and Scott [Moore]; they're really great at comedy.
CC: Speaking of Lucas and Moore, what was it like working with the writers from The Hangover?
JC: They were great. I was really surprised as to how much freedom they gave us…You know, writers can be very particular about their work…so they don't want you adulterating it by doing a bunch of improv. But…they didn't care at all. We could take the script, do the takes for them, and then we could improv if we wanted to. They were just open to any and all suggestions, which was really refreshing and a lot of fun because a lot of the times we would come up with really cool stuff.
CC: Would you describe this movie as The Hangover for the slightly younger crowd?
JC: I do think there are similarities. It does happen over the course of one night. One difference is that The Hangover is in Vegas, and [21 & Over] is at a college campus…at the core of [21 & Over], it's about friendship. Ours does have a lot of heart to it. These two guys that come over to take Jeff Chang out, they really do care about him, and you can tell. By the end of the movie, it's really evident that they just want the best. Whatever he wants, what Jeff wants, is what they want. In that way, I think it's a little bit more grounded than The Hangover…something like that could happen [in 21 & Over]…in that way, it's really entertaining to watch; everyone is going to relate to it. Anyone who loves to party or is in college or has gone out with their friends will watch the movie and be like, "Oh, I'm Casey" or "I'm Jeff Chang." We definitely have characters that are very relatable.
CC: In what ways are you similar and different to your character Jeff?
JC: I'm similar to Jeff in that I like to have a good time, and I really care about friendship. I really think that having long-term friends and having someone to lean on when things get rough is absolutely important in life. Everybody should have a few people like that…
The ways that we are different are my parents aren't strict as the parents in the movie. My parents were kind of artists; my dad was an actor and my mom was a pianist. Growing up, they didn't force me to over study. I wasn't expected to go to college; they didn't make me go. In that way, I'm different [from Jeff], and also…I'm not as much as a people-pleaser as Jeff is. Jeff really tries to keep the peace.
CC: What was the most challenging part about your role?
JC: …Figuring out the level of drunkenness I should be…that was actually quite difficult…I just did my research…did a bunch of Jägerbombs…(laughs).
CC: Did you in fact go out and drink to figure out how drunk you should portray Jeff Chang?
JC: I think I did that regardless of whether or not I was going to be in this movie, so it just happened anyways. But yeah – it's actually pretty challenging to play drunk, to act drunk without being over the top...I also went on the Internet and watched a lot of drunk YouTube videos and kind of figured a little system to my drunkenness.
CC: Most people might recognize you from the Twilight movies. Has it been difficult separating yourself from that franchise?
JC: It's funny because before Twilight, I was categorized in the whole Nickelodeon/Disney world. I did a short on Nickelodeon, so it was trying to break out of that, and then I finally did some other cool work. And then I got Twilight. So, it's sort of been this whole other thing. But I don't know – I'm not one of the vampires or wolves; I'm not one of the main leads or anything. So, it's not really hard for me to break out of that because the focus isn't on me. I don't feel like I'm being type casted or anything.
CC: Do you have friends like Jeff Chang's friends [Miller and Casey] in the movie…the kind of friends that sometimes get you into trouble, but they're a lot of fun to be around?
JC: Oh, 100 percent. I have many friends like that. There's just certain friends that you know if you're hanging out with them, don't even try to not drink because they're going to force you anyway. I have a couple of friends like that…They pull out, "How long have we been friends for?" That kind of bullsh**.
CC: How did you celebrate your 21st birthday?
JC: I celebrated in South Korea, and I got completely wasted. I just remember in the morning it was raining, and I woke up in the street. There's a period of a few hours where I really don't remember what happened, but I woke up in the street next to a shop, cold, and I was completely drenched.
21 & Over releases in theaters on March 1.

I thought Heineken was the drink to be featured in the new James Bond film Skyfall (the real Bond drinks martinis and Dom Perignon, we all know that) but Coke Zero is muscling in on the action with this campaign from Publicis France inviting punters to unleash the 'OO7' in themselves.
It's quite good fun but a bit more menace wouldn't have gone amiss. It looks as though Skyfall will be the biggest product placement fest in the history of movies. What else will Daniel Craig have time to do?
Nor would the real Bond ever have dreamed of wearing a shirt like this. Hardly Turnbull & Asser is it? What's the world coming to?

Submitted by coconuthead on Sat, 01/14/2012 - 7:05pm
Hello friends, enemies, transsexual hookers, and goldfish. This is yet another installment of Coconuthead's random thoughts. I haven't made one in a while and I feel the need to. So sit back, take your pants off, turn the volume off, and get ready to read this.[Started on 12/16/12]
Note: Most of these thoughts were thought of while I'm sitting on the toilet
First off, I think it would be a GENIUS idea if Highdeas and LazyKush combined. The way I see it now is that most of Highdeas are shitty "facebook status" type material and every once in a while I see a post of LazyKush that can probably pass as a Highdea. All in all, I like Highdeas better because of the bigger community. So picture this, a website called KushDeas. Highdeas' layout and at the bottom of every Highdea, there's the Lazykush stuff, like
people's updates, opinions, or questions about something. It'll reduce the amount of stupid Highdeas posted too. Whenever you post a Highdea then it'll notify all your friends on Kushdeas and post a link in the status section so people can click and check it out.
If we found another planet with life on it and we found out they were less advanced, less powerfull, and more populated, then would you want our government to take advantage of the whole planet and make them slaves to us? I would to be honest. It might seem unethical or something, but I still think of the world as a "sruvival of the fittest" place. Now I don't go as far as seeing my neighbor with a fully stock fridge so I go kill him to eat all his food because my fridge is bankrupt. I guess I just want to know what other people would do if given the opportunity to do all your work for you. You wouldn't have to do shit again in your life. I know it was bad back in the day with slavery, but back then we were enslaving other people. I don't know, maybe I'm a douche nugget but I would definitely want a little alien to do all my work.
Think about how one day in the future, maybe 100 years from now, there's gonna be a bunch of people on Earth that smoke weed because it's legal. They're gonna look back and think about how everyone who smoked it when it was illegal was a rebel. Think about how that if this website is still popular in 10 years, and people start talking about you.
So a lot of people believe in God and evolution. Alright. But I don't understand this. If God somehow evolved to be a "super human", then wouldn't everyone else be just like him? Random SideDEA: If we work our whole lifes to please god then aren't we kind of like slaves to him?
New means of transportation.
Fuck cars. Why don't we just replace cars with modified go karts? Make them only be able to go up to like 80 mph to reduce amount of dumbasses driving 100 through neighborhoods. They're smaller and easier to build than a car which means they would cost less. They also wouldn't take up as much space in the road so less traffic. Crashing in a go kart wouldn't be nearly as bad as crashing a real sized car. Essentially, just add a retractable roof in case
of rain of you're good to go. 1 seater or 2 seater are the only options. But make the age for getting a license like 13 only. Optional wagon attachment in case you need to carry some luggage.
Or mini helicopters. Hell yeah I just mentioned a miniature helicopter. Imagine it. No more roads or traffic back ups. Just fly a small 1 person helicopter through the skys and get where you need to be. I don't think helicopters really go that fast but you can pretty muchily take a shortcut to anywhere. Need to go to work but the streets are icy? Get in the choppa! Need to drop off that movie you just rented? Drop off a care package in front of the building. No need to even get out of the copter.
Some people think that we shouldn't be able to time travel if it was possible. Something stupid like "Ooh what if we change the future?" MMkay. Aren't we potentially changing the future though with every single thing we do?
So I was just watching Workaholics and they ran into a porn theater.Imagine how awkward a porn theater would be. What kind of porn are they even showing there? Imagine the previews for other porn videos. "Ishaquetisha is taking it in the ass from a cow! Coming next month!" How weird would it be if you saw someone you know in there...The worst job ever would have to be a custodian there. I bet the floors are so sticky and shit...
Pokemon should be something that everyone should follow. Ash is following his dream of becoming a professional Pokemon trainer with some of his homesicles. Every episode he runs into a problem but perserves and gets past it and continues his journey. What an inspiration
Males can completely dominate the world if we just build sandwich making robots already...
Sober Pills
Pop one of these little bad boys before you are going to talk to your parents and BOOM! Instantly sober for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes, the sober feeling wears off and you're back to your high as if nothing ever happened.
(Not sure if anyone has said this before, so please tell me if someone has)

How are humans the dominate species of Earth? Look at how many animals are so much bigger than us that can overthrow us probably. We also really don't have any idea what animals are thinking. Ever species might be communicating with each other and plotting how to extinct us
#1 item on my bucketlist. Make into Area 51. I guarantee they're dissecting an alien right now in there or else it's just a bunch of retired members of the government saying "Haha look at all those suckers following our rules" as they pass around a 5 pound blunt stuffed with marijuana particles.
I hate when you see a celebrity on a talk show or something talking about how they've been 5 years sober or something like that, then everyone in the crowd applauses them. 5 years sober isn't even an accomplishment, I went 16 years sober bitch. If someone went on a talk show and talked about being high for 5 years straight, then I would be impressed.
What if we actually are in a parelle universe but it's actually the exact same as the universe we were in before.
My theory on past time
I believe that the whole entire world is pretty muchily like an onion and each layer of it has a 10 year span. So I think that in your house this right very second, there are people living in 1960 but they can't see you, and you can't see them. This is really hard for me to explain and I don't really think about this stuff to much, so I'll try my best. I guess it kinda has to do with time travel. So people from how ever long ago are carrying on their business right
now, but we can't see them because they're either on a higher layer(in the future) or a lower level(in the past). We're all living in this world together, but in different layers. But maybe every once in a while we glitch through our layer spectrum for a second and to the other layers we are a ghost. It's dark as fuck in my room and now I'm creeped out...To be continued...(hopefully)
If you splooge in a condom, then there's potentially a baby in that condom. If you throw that used condom away then isn't that 1st degree murder?
I know if someone gets bitten by a venomous snake then someone can suck the venom out and cure them. I wonder if the same thing works for heroin because I know you inject that shit. Someone shoots up then passes out so you suck their arm and get the heroin out to release the hero in you. Haha hero in. Sounds like heroin.
How long do you think it will be until all school/colleges/places of learning are completely shut down and abandoned? We can pretty muchily learn anything we need to learn from searching it in Youtube or Google. There's not even a need for school. When I'm older and I have my first kid, I'm not gonna send him to some fake ass school full of ex-prostitute teachers. I'm gonna teach him everything he actually needs to know from Google. Not gonna teach him all this useless bullshit I learn in school. By age 12 he'll be just as smart as any high school student. Speaking of school, why the fuck do we use that to judge if someone is smart? I guarantee I'm smarter than 90% of the kids in my classes but I don't try at all so I get shitty grades. Why don't I try you ask? I don't see the need to. Literally, all you do is copy what a teacher writes on a board. You aren't learning anything, you're copying.
Am I the only one that wants to move to California so badly? Not only to smoke weed like Snoop Dogg but California is so great that they have commercials for it. Commercials for a state!
I've seen commercials for North Carolina and all it was about was golf courses. If I wanted to play some mother fuckin golf then I'd buy a bag of fucking golf balls and hit them mother fuckers. I ain't wanna play no mother fuckin golf. I ain't no mother fuckin gay fish.
California shouldn't even be a state, it should be the eight wonder of the world. It makes my state, Illinois, look like a boring piece of shit. Which it is. You can do whatever the fuck you want in Cali. You hardly see any snowboarders, surfers, longboarders, or hot girls in Illinois. But Cali is full of that. Even being homeless in California sounds fun as fuck. In Chicago, homless people are starving and cold as fuck. In Cali, they probably chill on the beach all day and fuck underage girls. Now that's the life. At night just go fishing and catch some tuna. Fucking tuna. I hate tuna, but bitches like it.
K. To close out this fest of stupid shit, this is a rap I wrote. I posted some of the lyrics on another Highdea. Tell me what you think of it. I don't know if it's good or not. It's basically about marijuana.
Narcotics make you erotic so I don't see what the problem is
Tell me it'll make me dumb but I'm the opposite, I'm Jimmy Neutronic
Untrustful government is running America, but they're really unpatriotic
The world is chaotic, the flag might be a symbol of freedom but lieing seems to be symbolic
Somehow everyone still listens to them though, like they're hypnotic
It's pretty ironic how chronic isn't even chronic but they're treating it like it's toxic
I can't even stand to watch it, these idiots are all about getting gold like Sonic
Just tell the truth doesn't that seem most logic?
Every single person living in the world is part of a giant hallucination
We should all work together to accomplish, but instead it's one on one racing
I might just be a teen speaking my point of view
but I guarantee over 10 million people agree with me too
How about instead we let everyone drink and drive under the influence
If you honestly think that's better than inhaling smoke you have issues then
I just tell it how it is this isn't a fucking vent
It's the truth, for Lent I wish we could give up the government
Please let everyone live how they want to even if it's wrong
The Earth is old but our time living here isn't very long
Seriously who even put these fools in charge?
They don't want to help the people, they just want their name to be large
Listen to the pot heads because we keep it real
Puff some of this medicine and watch everything in your life heal
Weed would bring in billions of a dollar each year
But what's the point, you'd probably just spend it all on beer
Who really cares if rapping about weed isn't original?
Because I'm sick of trying to hide everything and feeling like a criminal
I'm just an average kid smoking piff not even thinking of trying cocaine
I've only got 1 love in this world and it's a girl named Mary Jane
The nicest girl that I've ever met
But I have to hide my love for her like Romeo and Juliet
Everyone says they want it legal but they won't take action
They always want someone else to give them the full satisfaction
We stick with the THC
No PCP, DMT, LSD, Ecstacy, Morphine, coke keys, Methamphetamine
We stick to the W-E-E-D
Tell the truth to the kids because we're the future
Kings of the world, we'll protest like Martin Luther
Until we get what we want because we were taught to fight
Steer the world into a direction that actually seems bright
Let's just all live in peace and harmony
The universe is so big and we only take a small part of the galaxy
So how is one person gonna tell everyone how to live?
This isn't what the creators of this crazy world intended
Just say no and don't listen to what they say
They're trying to force everyone to live their way
I smoke weed and I still go to school and go to work
I plan on going farther in life than just a store clerk
Adventuring through the world high makes everything so simple
Everyone knows life is better when you let out a giggle
So forget about the peer pressure they're putting on you
Listen to your heart, it'll tell you the right thing to do
Try it and look at all the different things you discover
Weed is a survival guide to life, don't judge it by its cover
Do what you want because in the end you're always correct
Just don't forget you'll make mistakes cuz no one's perfect
Do you want the truth or D.A.R.E.?
They came to school and dared us to never exper-
iment with weed cuz you're life will never be abled to be repaired
WHat the fuck is up these fake ass Above the Influence commercials?
Being Above the Influence would being above them, so it's pretty controversal
See, when someone starts telling lies on national TV, it starts to get personal
Especially when there's million people out there knowing these lies are hurtful
So a bunch of people for weed march to the White House to try to make some progression
Try to make a commercial about the truth, but obviously that's out of the fucking question
Marijuana plants would help the enviroment and give off air
Go green, see man, we break stereotypes and we actually care
Hemp can be used in clothing as well as things in everyday life
For example, you can use it in school instead of paper to write
Save trees, plant weed
Not to mention, if weed became less people would smoke cigarettes
A lot of people would smoke weed if they can buy it at stores with the same convience
Supposively cancer is what marijuana represents
But how does that make sense if doctors are giving it out as treatment?
Thank you all for showing up on this glorious day. That is all for this time, hopefully you liked this Highdea, but I can definitely understand if you didn't.
Holy shit I actually just realized how long this is. If you actually read this whole thing please tell me and I'll mail a stamp to your house to congratulate you on such an amazing accomplishment
Good bye. Stay high. And don't let your pet hamster die.
I loved this
First to upvote
Because after the first paragraph I knew this would be awesome
When I was a little kid (not so long ago) and I took baths high, I used to pretend that every time I put my head under the water in the bathtub, I switched universes, but they were exactly the same. The catch was my family and friends in each universe knew of me and loved me, but had never met me.They waited for me and waited for me until I was finally there, but kept it secret, and all secretly cried when I took baths and went on to the next universe. Think about it. It's plausible.
I leave you with this question:
Do you think it would be worth it to have ads on this site if there were also moderators that deleted shitdeas (thanks for the awesome new word) like this one?: http://highdeas.com/hd/soo_high_7#comment-1959974
I think mods on the site would be good but I don't really know about the power to complete other peoples' Highdeas or thoughts. Sure I'd love for them to get rid of all these stupid posts about nothing, but I don't really know if it is fair to delete what someone has to say because it's unoriginal or just plain stupid. As much as I would want mods to do that, it would be really hard probably with all the bad Highdeas. I think they should get ads too, maybe to get some money to make Highdeas shirts or something or site improvements.
kinda like "the time traveler's wife"
the bathtub idea sounds dope as hell tho..
Yeah, IL is pretty depressing this time of year... Where you from? I'm I'm up by the WI border (McHenry county).
They should have ads on the side space that isn't being used.
haha i saw that episode of workaholics and cali is fucking awesome ive lived here all my life n intend on keeping i that way. also you said mario kart twice xD. great highdeas
I only made it to the part about goKarts... but it was very nice
Thats exactly as far as i read as well. cool beans.
That part about the sandwich making robots made me think about what if there was a war between women and men, like a full scale world war?
We would win so fucking easily
Hey man, women are just as equal as men...Except in anything important
Daniel Tosh sums it up pretty well:
Also I got so lost reading all that I forgot to upvote. Mistake corrected
coconuthead I thought you were a gay fish?
Dude, I just finished playing Donkey Kong Country, but I have super nintendo not n64.. lol
to answer your SideDEA: yeah... people make themselves inferior to this supreme person and they don't.. "can't", truly live their lives. I'm only writing that from what I've experienced with people I know, I'm not generalizing.
"none but ourselves can free our minds"
check this shit out http://www.hammacher.com/Product/11812
now this! http://seabreacher.com/
About the future... I think no matter what happens, shit will always end up the way it... ends up? It doesn't matter what you change because whatever the change was and whatever the result is... that's how it was suppose to work out?
For some reason I kinda think of it as cheating death... you prolong life, but you're still gonna die lol
lmfao at workaholics & the porn theater
"DON'T MISS... THE #1 PORN-MOVIE IN AMERICA *boombamspecialeffects* TITS OF FURY! Featuring Captain Butternuts, Sir Cumbangur and the one and only Watermelandrea... and her big juicy ass watermelons! Cuming soon in theaters near you!
Sandwich making robot reminds me of the fat kids grandma in Bad Santa... "let me fix you some sandwiches!"
Sober pills sound pretty cool! Somehow my parents presence naturally sobers me up though lol
Love California man. I'd rather come across chill as fuck homeless dudes at the beach in Cali than creepy/drunk as fuck homeless dudes freezing their asses off in NYC lol
I like your rap :)
Resident Evil 2 was dope on the 64, and how don't you like Ocarina of Time? that shit is baws* after a few bong hits, catching chickens and shit haha this was a long post but it was worth it, you're good in ;my book ( i don't really have a book but if i did you would be in it under 'good' )
banjo kazooie was amazing. sarges heroes was the shit. played through both those fucking games.
i thought that said "sarges herpes"
OK, I wish California was that cool...Depends on where you live because there's a lot of boring small towns over here...although we have good weed and hot girls, they're stuck up bitches, well, we have a lot of bros so we have a lot of bro-hoes. It's a trade off really...
Other then that this was pretty damn awesome dude. Mini copters dog, check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHPedpE70Es&feature=relmfu
Wouldn't it be bad ass to have a $1,000,000,000 layin around....lol..
i feel like he was constipated when writing this....
for about a week.
i dont have a ruler long enough to measure the stick up your ass
3 yard sticks should do it.
My comment has been deleted? How the hell does that happen?
Coconuthead, you are the second coming of Homer. Thank God this world has your kind of wisdom.
Seriously....get some scientists on it......and then send me a batch of them sober pills.
=Wow= I actuallly read thru all this..
So i gotta ask..
did you think of all this on ONE trip to the bathroom? ...HA! probably not..
Good thoughts dude, loved reading this. I could talk for 'extensive periods of time' on any of these many paragraphs... but --I'll just keep it simple-- Thanks for the read. Rock On.
read the whole thing :) nice job
I'm not quite sure what to think of you sir. Some of your paragraphs were brilliant, but there were one or two that made me think "...really?" Mainly the one about school. I know that high school is shitty. I find that you either have the best time, or the worst time in high school. I hated it, but I got through and now I am going to school to become an experimental psychologist. And I couldn't have gotten to that point until I drudged through the high school bullshit. Think about it man...I'm gonna get to work with monkeys...
But most of this post was awesome. lol.
i think you explained my thoughts on this post word for word
Definately read it all. It was pretty awesome. Some good Highdeas.
Ok Mr. Expert Highdeas critic. First of all you only have 2 Highdeas and they're both fucking stupid. Next, you called this childish yet I haven't heard a child say one thing near the lines of anything on this list other than school is stupid. Why on Earth would I feel like a rebel? Oh yeah, expressing your thoughts make you such a rebel, right? You're fucking dumb as hell...Please write a Highdea that is so much better than this since your opinion is right and everyone else's is wrong.
Dumb as hell.... The reason I don't post many Highdeas is because I put effort in my education.
I'm a student of Biomedical technologies, that's right, in a couple of years I'm making apparatus that will keep you healthy. I think of more shit than smoking jibberish so I only post when it's worth the effort.
It's not hard, I've tried to remark that most of it is premature bullcrap and it's not cool to think school is not.
Even your comment is lame because you convert to swearing and make yourself the victim.
Hope this isn't the average way how our future, the youth, thinks about everyday live, education, ethics and even democracy.
Wow, really good rap man. I read the whole thing. "I just tell it how it is this isn't a fucking vent
It's the truth, for Lent I wish we could give up the government" great line :)
LOL your fridge is bankrupt had me cracking up.
I love your take on god because i was born roman catholic and find their idea of God as a very egotistical selfish dictator like being.
It's good to know that I'm not the only one who says douche nugget
Man, I read the whole thing OUT LOUD.
I've been reading aloud lately because I feel smarter doing it that way. Especially if I'm high.
you forgot about starfox.. and conkers bad fur day
From what iv heard wild elephants can communicate in a higher frequency than we can hear and have been coordinating attacks on small villages. Speculation is that because elephants never forget the knowledge of humans enslaving them for work has been passed down through generations. If this is true and its crazy. If dolphins somehow breed with elephants there is no hope of our survival
my fridge is bankrupt allllll the time..... groceries are soooo fucking expensive It's just not even worth it... (yet I'll blow $100 on a quarter) oops. lol
holy fuck you expect my stoned ass to read all this...jah...okay
hells yeas!
Wave Race was the shit. I still break out my 64 once in a while to play it, that and Goldeneye.
I read this whole thing, my eyes never left your words ! I loved every word, everything you said was just 100% TRUTH. Our government is so fucking ignorant...I wish they would all just smoke a blunt and realize how much better it makes you feel. It cures almost everything. I don't understand why tobacco and alcohol is still legal and it kills thousands of people a year and not one person has died from marijuana. Above the Ignorance people. Legalize ♥
keep it real bro. one love. amazing shit
Rolled a personal blunt and Finished as soon as I finished reading it, amazing highdea <3
I can't help but notice but you listed Mario Karts as #8 and 6 on the Top 10 N64 games....nice.
This is fucking beautiful
Great post. Helicopters do go fast, by the way. Also, I saw something similar to the 10 year layer thing on tv once. It was a theory saying that instead of thinking of different things going on in the same place at different times, everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen are all happening at the same time at the same spot.
I respect you man :) Seriously there needs to be more people like you in this world C:
Blew my mind. Im fucking 15 and i live in illinois but dude if we didnt need school to get some good jobs i would have the shittiest grades. in fact i did last year and every year before that but this year i was just like fuck it ill do my homework just for the sake of probably needing a college diploma and whatnot then im doing my own shit. all im trying to say is do your school work just for an easier route to freedom. (I might be wrong, hopefully not)

It is committed to the welfare and education of the differently abled (Hearing Impaired, Intellectually impaired and the Visually Impaired) children in Goa. In 1981, Lokvishwas Pratishthan made its modest beginning by setting up a residential school for the Hearing Impaired children, in a rented premises in Bandora. This was the first school for handicapped students in Goa. In 1999, the section for mentally challenged children was opened. The next stage was the school for the visually impaired, which was inaugurated in 2001. The main premises of Lokvishwas Pratishthan are located at Dhavali, in Ponda taluka, which houses two schools and a higher secondary section for Hearing Impairment, a school for the Visually Impaired, a Teacher's Training Centre for training Special Teachers (with a admission strength of 25), and a school & Day Care Centre for the Mentally challenged.
In order to serve the needy students for other areas in Goa, the institute has spread its wings by opening special schools for Mentally challenged children in remote areas like Mokhard (Canacona), Quepem & Valpoi. All these currently run in rented premises.
Lokvishwas Pratishthan has now purchased a 2000 sq.m. plot in Shirvoi (Quepem), so that it builds its own school building.. The work of the building is expected to commence anytime now and expected to complete by May 2014.

This two-day Search and Rescue course offered an introduction to Search and Rescue procedures and situations. This was an introduction and insight into search and rescue programs (without certification) geared to orient and give us some tools so we, as guides, can assist full search and rescue teams should the need come up. Who knows the forest better than those who guide it (us) so basic knowledge will allow us to partner with and assist authorities.
The first day we spent learning techniques (Probability of Areas, hasty searches), history and case studies, as well as different types of terrain-searches (water, snow, forest). At the end of the first day we were told that the next day we would have a field exercise to find four people "lost" in the forest around our training facility, Wilderness Tours (WT). We had about an hour and a half to do some preplanning for the next day.
The next day we left Pembroke at noon to travel to WT. We had about two and a half hours before we got the "call" saying there were four hikers lost in the forests close by. Our two leaders were pre-picked and we split into groups of four or five, separated and combed assigned areas in search of missing hikers.
My group was poorly organized. We knew where we were going and what we were supposed to do but getting there was a completely different story. We were lost for about an hour, then realized we were way off track. Once we re-oriented our position, base-camp notified us that three people had been found and they knew where the fourth one was so we just headed back to camp. Learning from mis-steps taught us new understanding of the dangers and challenges to a full-on search and rescue mission where lives can be at stake.
In the end it only took fifty of us four hours to find four people. Strategy, planning, knowing the terrain and field searching introduced us to a better understanding of search and rescue. I thought it was kind of fun, the adrenaline of being part of a field search for a missing person. I would definitely do it again given the opportunity – hopefully real opportunities are few and far between!

SCCA National Runoffs - Drago Holds Off Berry To Win Spec Miata
ELKHART LAKE, Sep. 22, 2012: Pole winner Jim Drago, of Memphis, Tenn., won the 2012 Spec Miata National Championship by holding off teammate Craig Berry, of Tyler Texas, from start to finish at the 49th SCCA National Championship Runoffs® at Road America. Andrew Charbonneau, of Delray Beach, Fla., finished third after a last lap battle with rookie Stephan Tisseront, from Great Falls, Va.
Starting from the Gumout pole, Drago led the Spec Miata field into Turn One, his mirrors full of action behind him, but without a serious challenge for the lead. Drago's No. 2 East Street Racing Mazda Miata led Berry's No. 29 Berry Marble and Granite/East Street Racing Mazda Miata out of the first turn with a trail of seven cars nose-to-tail behind them."I kept looking back at that pack thinking 'maybe two more corners and I'll be able to break this,' but Craig [Berry] and I set our cars up identically," Drago said. "His [Berry's] car was loose in a couple of spots and mine was tight in a couple of right-hand turns. Where I would get tight in Turn 12 and 13, I'd have to back off a little bit and Craig would really gain, but I could gain enough through the Carousel or in Six, Seven and Eight, that it would take him the whole way to get back; so I could over slow 12 a little bit to keep that gap."
As battles raged on behind him, Drago kept his focus forward, whether it was Berry or Charbonneau in his rear-view mirror. Even on lap six, when the two split Drago entering Turn 1, Drago could not be pressured into a mistake.
"I think we've all been around enough now, and with Craig being my teammate, I didn't have to watch my mirror as much," Drago said. "Andrew is another guy I've raced with inches apart for mile after mile, so it's not so intense to the point that you're worried about it; we trust each other completely. It's a different kind of racing and it's very enjoyable when you can race that close with people and not worry about it."
The battle between teammates reached a climax on the last lap when Berry finally made a move for the win. A quick glance by Berry in Turns 12 and 13 prompted Drago to take a defensive line through the final corner. As the two streamed past the finish line, it was Drago for the win by 0.185-second.
"I knew in my mind I was a little bit better out of Three, so I tried to go like hell out of Three, Five, Six Seven and Eight and get enough of a gap that I could get down the back straight without Craig getting to me," Drago recalled. "Going into the Carousel, I thought there was no way he was even going to be close, but then that draft came up and all I could see was that black and green 29 coming! I took the middle of the track and stayed defensive on those last couple of corners. We went up the hill closer than I would have liked, but Craig's a teammate and if the roles were reversed we would have followed station identically."
After dispatching Charbonneau half way through the race, Berry was finally able to focus his attention squarely on Drago.
"We did have a strategy," Berry said of himself and teammate Drago. "I was hoping we could keep nose-to-tail and get away from the pack and then battle it out for the last two laps. It did not take long for me to realize Andrew [Charbonneau] was going to be part of this race and that the plan was not going to work out!"
After shadowing Drago for five laps, Berry made his intentions known on lap 13. Unable to complete a pass in Turns 12 and 13, Berry lost the momentum he needed to draft past Drago up the hill and across the finish line.
"I had a good run through the Kink and down the back straight," Berry said. "Jim moved over, and that's what you have to do, so I tried to take him outside, inside and across and pushed him up the hill, but it wasn't enough.
"It was really tough," Berry concluded. "We missed the setup just a little bit and I had a loose car in the right handers, so I couldn't get on the throttle as early as I could earlier in the week. I knew Jim was going to have to make a bobble, so all I tried to do was get as close as I could to him and hope that he'd make a mistake. I knew it would be a good finish either way because we're teammates and he's helped me all year."
Starting fifth in the No. 67 Auto Tecknick Not East Street Mazda Miata, Charbonneau had a great start and moved into fourth. On lap six, Charbonneau was around Berry and into second, challenging Drago for the lead. Charbonneau made a move on Drago in Turn One to start lap six, taking the lead. It was short-lived, with Drago back to the front in Turn Five. The pass dropped Charbonneau to fourth behind Berry and Patrick Sandlin's No. 58 East Street Racing/Community Mortgage Mazda Miata.
Three laps later, Charbonneau passed Sandlin for third in Turn One , but the two continued to jockey for position. They made contact, sending Sandlin into the wall at Turn Two and ending his day.
"I had the pass made in Turn One," recalled Charnonneau. "I gave him [Sandlin] room, but then he pushed me over a little bit and in my opinion, he jerked the wheel and put me into the grass. I was able to save it and get back on the track."Charbonneau kept his car on course, but dropped to fourth behind Danny Steyn. He was back to third a lap later, but with a mirror full of Stephan Tisseront's No. 09 Ti-Speed Engineering/OPM Mazda Miata. On the final lap, rookie Tisseront went to the inside of Charbonneau into Turn Five, but the veteran got him right back on the exit.
"I anticipated he was going to make that move," Charbonneau said. "I don't think he realized I was going to double pass him. We got up to the bridge [Turn Six] and he kind of pushed me over a bit. I had carried more momentum through Five and I finally got him going into Canada Corner and continued from there."

Condoleezza Rice may be more interested in becoming Mitt Romney's running mate than previously thought.
Republicans' excitement about Condi Rice may be a measure of how little they feel for Mitt Romney as presidential candidate.

If the United States cared so much about democracy in Iraq, why has it acted more like an occupying force in restricting the self-determination of Iraqi citizens?

Life Insurance – Do You Buy, Rent, or Borrow?
Without a doubt, life insurance is valuable protection provided by your employee benefit plan, but should it be the only life insurance coverage you have? Probably not, if you want to ensure you have sufficient long term protection to cover all your family's financial needs should you die unexpectedly.
In a recent study conducted by the Life Insurance and Market Research Association (LIMRA), it was reported that 61% of Canadians hold some form of life insurance. Surprisingly, it also revealed that only 38% of Canadians own an individual life insurance contract. This means that almost 40% rely solely on the life insurance provided by their employer. This can be problematic. The disadvantages of having your employee benefit plan as your only life insurance protection include the following:
It is probably not enough to pay off your mortgage and/or provide income for your spouse and family.
The amount of life insurance protection provided by group insurance in most cases is equal to only one or two times annual income. If this is not enough to do the job, the addition of individual life insurance should be considered.

Do You Need Individual Life Insurance?
Canadians may need to rethink their risk management
In a recent study conducted by the Life Insurance and Market Research Association (LIMRA), it was reported that 61% of Canadians hold some form of life insurance. Surprisingly, it also revealed that only 38% of Canadians own an individual life insurance contract.
In another study of middle class Canadians, Manulife reported that 79% had no individual disability insurance and 87% had no individual critical illness coverage.
What both of these studies conclude is that most Canadians rely heavily on their group benefits for their family's insurance protection. Read more

What stops small businesses from offering benefits?
A well-designed group benefits plan can be critical to attracting and retaining the right talent, as well as keeping employees healthy and productive at work.
But for small employers, offering a benefits plan is easier said than done.
While many small business owners want to provide their employees with some degree of coverage, obstacles stand in the way. As a result, many of the almost eight million Canadians who work at a small business are left without coverage, according to 2013 government stats. Read more

Team LBK ready to roll again
Team Left Bank Kilkenny tip-off their second year in the men's Division 1 National Basketball League on Saturday (7.30pm) in O'Loughlin Gaels, Kilkenny. Team LB enjoyed mixed fortunes last year against the same opposition, winning in Cork and losing at home after a poor performance in front of the biggest crowd of the season.
The team is determined to secure the first three points of the season.
The standard of the teams across the league has improved with a number of clubs attracting top American and European players. This will make things even harder, but after putting in some impressive performances in pre-season there is a level of confidence about the squad.
Team LB are again in the Southern Conference with Blue Demons (Cork), Fr Matthews (Cork), St Mary's (Castleisland), Maree (Galway) and Titans (Galway). St Mary's won the Conference winners last year. Titans were narrowly beaten in the play-off final.
The Kilkenny squad is similar to last season, however, there is a huge loss of Enda Roberts and Dean Kavanagh. Their loss will be great, but that offers an opportunity to players who took a back seat last season to drive on.
There is a squad of 16 players who are all battling for five positions on the court, and 12 on the panel. In addition, American Puff Summers who plays in the Superleague for Killester has been training with the group. He resides in Kilkenny and he brings a wealth of experience and a competitive edge to the sessions, which can only improve the players.
Last year Team LB had one of the best groups of supporters in the league. Their supporters out-numbered the oppositions at many away games away, which was a great boost to the players. The hope is that the South East will continue to support the club.
A special welcome is reserved for those who are not involved with basketball but who have an interest in sport.
Team LB's fixtures 2012 - September 2 v Blue Demons, O'Loughlin Gaels 7.30pm; October 6, v Dublin Thunder, Kilbarrack 8pm; October 7, v Fr Matthews, Kilkenny 3.30pm; October 14, v Fr Matthews, O'Loughlin Gaels 3pm; October 27, v Ulster Elks, O'Loughlin Gaels 7.30pm; October 28, v Titans, Oranmore 5pm; November 3, v Maree, Renmore 5pm; November 17, v Ballon, O'Loughlin Gaels 7.30pm; November 24, v Templeogue, Oblate 7pm; December 1, v Mary's, O'Loughlin Gaels 7.30pm; December 15, v Donegal Town, O'Loughlin Geals 7.30pm.

Wild animals – lamas, ostriches and dairy cows right alike the ones on the milk bottle – primal nature – pastures, meadows with rape, locust groves and age-old oaks, of such kind is the imagery of an idyllic tour along Saale river. The bicycle tour leads through a landscape which for centuries has been hand-made and lovingly cared for.
The bicycle excursion was leading through the national park Lower Saale Valley. The title claims that cultured landscape in our postindustrial country is allegorical to artificial wilderness we may witness in spacy zoo compounds. How has the cultural landscape developed and what do we expect of it? Why do we want landscape to look the way it looks?
A mapped route has been created for the excursion.

: The colorful, hand-painted ceramics, terra cotta flower boxes and bright flamenco shawls aptly reflect the warm and welcoming atmosphere of this stand-out tapas stand-by. Start out simple with a plate of escalivada, grilled eggplant, peppers and onions sprinkled with extra-virgin Spanish olive oil, or the cloud-like tortilla à la espanola. Warm tapas like the conejo à la cazuela, stewed rabbit with vegetables and wine, makes for a nice light entrée. The heartier zarzuela de mariscos with loads of shellfish in tomato, garlic, saffron and wine sauce or the New York steak with blue-cheese sauce will keep you satisfied long after the sherry buzz has worn off. The rice-and-milk pudding is marvelous.

The Thoracic region
Thoracic mean the chest region and contains the rib cage, heart, lungs, other organs and the thoracic spine. The thoracic spine starts at the neck and goes down to the lumbar region, otherwise known as the lower back.
There are 12 vertebrae making up the thoracic spine and each vertebra is connected to a rib on either side. The area where the lower thoracic vertebrae join with the top lumbar vertebrae is where the spine allows twisting from side to side.
The thoracic spine is very rigid compared to the neck and lumbar region of the spine, as it is not made for mobility.
Thoracic back pain
The most common form of back pain in the thoracic region is muscular irritation and soft tissue problems. These are generally caused by trauma, repetitive strain injury, poor posture, joint problems, a compression fracture to a vertebra and lack of strength.
Some forms of back pain just need rest to alleviate the issues, while sufferers can take anti-inflammatory medicines to help alleviate the pain. Other forms need physical therapy, exercise, deep massage and manual manipulation.
There are alternative medicines that can help with a lot of the problems like acupuncture, which is the treatment of inserting lots of small needles into the problem area. Acupuncture is said to be a great form of medicine to restore health, well being and reducing pain.
Uncommon Thoracic conditions
Because of the strength in the thoracic region and the lack of motion carried out, disc herniations and disc degeneration are very rare in this region making only 1% of all those diagnosed with either condition.
Trauma and impact does cause damage to the thoracic spine, again this is only a small percentage and only affects those who have been in a severe trauma as damage generally affects the lumbar region.
Muscle pain in the upper back
The thoracic region is also known as the upper back, and while it does not cause as much back pain from spinal injury as the lumbar region, it does cause a lot of people to suffer pain from the muscles.
The muscles in the upper back can become strained and cause great pain; breathing or moving normally intensifies the pain.
Muscle pain is caused by lifting heavy items, sitting at a desk for long period of times so the back muscles become stiff or even by coughing or sneezing hard.
To alleviate muscle pain in the back you can use icepacks for twenty or thirty minutes at a time, anti inflammatory medication, relaxants for muscles and deep muscle massages.
Back pain can be an awful experience that makes the sufferer feel like they don't even want to get out of bed, every movement feels painful from breathing to eat, walking to lying on your side.
If you are suffering with pain in the back region then you need to take care of the issue and try to protect further damage from occurring, if it persists visit a medical consultant.
