Tootsie Meets The Avengers In New Movie
Bianca del Rio is a foul-mouthed, bitter, and hilarious drag queen who cuts people down in incorrect ways that have them howling with laughter.
The New Orleans-born scamp (a/k/a Roy Haylock) may be the real Beast of the Southern Wild.
And she might finally have found a big screen vehicle to house her outsized talents (and lashes).
TV producer/editor Matt Kugelman tells me he plans to star Bianca in a feature film tentatively called Hurricane Bianca in which she (or, rather Roy) would play a NYC teacher who moves to a small Texas town, where he gets outed and fired.

Well, he decides to come back in drag as a really mean lady and get revenge on the horrid folk who done him wrong.
This wicked avenger will be a teacher all right! And that town will never be the same!
If this film doesn't get made, I will go to a Texas town--any Texas town--and get some revenge myself.
My only concern is: Can Bianca be convincing as a really mean lady? Kidding.

In another move that signals the likely end of Darrelle Revis' time with Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers have agreed to terms with Pro Bowl cornerback Alterraun Verner.
The four-year deal is worth $26.5 million and the former member of the Tennessee Titans is likely to step directly into Revis' place as a starting cornerback. Revis is scheduled to make $16 million in 2014 and the Bucs are expected to either trade or release him.
Verner will be a better fit in coach Lovie Smith's Tampa Two scheme. Revis is known for his man-to-man cover skills and the Bucs don't want to pay him big money in a system in which he doesn't thrive.
Verner can start opposite second-year pro Johnthan Banks and Tampa Bay should have a solid secondary with Dashon Goldson and Mark Barron at the safety spots.

'Mom always saw me."
By that, author Jennifer Weiner meant that her mother knew who she was and saw her as capable enough to be a "modern cultural icon" messaging other women through social media, journalism, and the lives of her plus-sized heroines in 10 novels to date.
"I want to accept my daughters the same way," says Weiner, 43, casually scrunched, with shoes off and bare feet tucked beneath her, on a couch in a Philadelphia hotel. Weiner, whose two daughters are in single digits age-wise, was there to give the keynote speech at the Renfrew Center Foundation Eating Disorders Conference last weekend.

Violet And A Rose Lyrics
Artist: Webb Pierce
Album: Webb
A violet fell in love with a rose and started it flashing from its head to its toe
Then one day the rose was kissed by the dew
A new love was born and the violet turned blue
Roses are red violets are blue I'm sending red red roses to you
If you care to send some flowers to me then send me some violets I'm blue as can be
[ fiddle ]
I wanted my love to bouquet with you and just like the rose you've proven untrue
A flower that's wild they say has no home and just like the violet I'm left all alone
Roses are red...

She looked at me and did the bosa nova
I smiled at her and then just walked away
then the lights came on and it was over
to my surprise, she wasn't a girl at all
so I packed it up and took to a rock show...
where you can feel the pulse getting stronger
& you can only hear the beat for so long
I asked if there was any way to stop it
No, he said, just smile and act as if...
you worship the very ground on which they walk on...
no way
a temporary absence of gesture
a hidden meaning known to everyone
a slight misconception of leizure
don't see how that could hurt anyone...I know...but
spirit, excellence, further down the road,
these are the tools you'll need further down the road.
so lets pack it up and take it somewhere special...
from a quintessential, existential nightmare
to a sanctuary waiting in the sun

Pulp Studies
All Proposals & Abstracts Must Be Submitted Through The PCA Database.
Please submit a proposal to only one area at a time. Exceptions and rules
Pulp magazines were a series of mostly English-language, predominantly American, magazines printed on rough pulp paper. They were often illustrated with highly stylized, full-page cover art and numerous line art illustrations of the fictional content. They were sold for modest sums, and were targeted at (sometimes specialized) readerships of popular literature, such as western and adventure, detective, fantastic (including the evolving genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror), romance and sports fiction. The first pulp Argosy, began life as the children's magazine The Golden Argosy, dated Dec 2, 1882 and the last of the "original" pulps was Ranch Romances and Adventures, Nov. 1971.
The Pulp Studies area exists to support the academic study of pulp writers, editors, readers, and culture. It seeks to invigorate research by bringing together scholars from diverse areas including romance, western, science fiction, fantasy, horror, adventure, detective, and more. Finally, the Pulp Studies area seeks to promote the preservation of the pulps through communication with libraries, museums, and collectors.
With this in mind, we are calling for papers and panels that discuss the pulps and their legacy. Suggested authors and topics:
•Magazines: Amazing Stories, Weird Tales, Wonder Stories, Fight Stories, All-Story, Argosy, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Spicy Detective, Ranch Romances and Adventures, Oriental Stories/Magic Carpet Magazine, Love Story, Flying Aces, Black Mask, and Unknown, to name a few.
•Editors and Owners: Street and Smith (Argosy), Farnsworth Wright (Weird Tales), Hugo Gernsback (Amazing Stories), Mencken and Nathan (Black Mask), John Campbell (Astounding).
•Influential Writers: H.P. Lovecraft, A. E. Merritt, Robert E. Howard, C. L. Moore, Fritz Leiber, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Donald Wandrei, Clark Ashton Smith, and Henry Kuttner. Proposals about contemporary writers in the pulp tradition, such as Joe Lansdale and Michael Chabon are also encouraged. New Weird writers and others, such as China Mieville, whose work is influenced by the pulps, are also of interest.
•Influences on Pulp Writers: Robert Bloch, H. Rider Haggard, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jack London, and Edgar Rice Burroughs were all influences, along with literary and philosophical figures such as Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, Friedrich Nietzsche, Edgar Allen Poe, and Herbert Spencer.
•Popular Characters: Conan of Cimmeria; Doc Savage; Solomon Kane; Buck Rogers; Northwest Smith; The Domino Lady; Jiril of Jiory; Zorro; Kull of Atlantis; El Borak; The Shadow; The Spider; Bran Mak Morn; Nick Carter; The Avenger; and Captain Future, among others. Also character types: the femme fatale, the he-man, the trickster, racism and villainy (such as Charles Middleton's Ming the Merciless), and more.
•Artists: Popular cover artists including Margaret Brundage (Weird Tales), Frank R. Paul (Amazing Stories), Virgil Finlay (Weird Tales), and Edd Cartier (The Shadow, Astounding).
•Periods: The dime novels; Argosy and the ancestral pulps; Weird Tales, Amazing Stories, and the heyday of the pulps; the decline of the pulps in the 50s and 60s; pulps in the age of the Internet.
•Theme and Styles: Masculinity, femininity, and sex as related to the heroic in the pulps; the savage as hero, the woman as hero, the trickster as hero, etc.
•Film, Television and Graphic Arts: Pulps in film, television, comics, graphic novels and other forms are especially encouraged. Possible topics could include film interpretations such as Conan the Barbarian, comic book incarnations of pulp magazines and series; "new weird" reinventions of the pulps such as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Watchmen; fan films; and newer productions, including the recently released Solomon Kane and Conan.
•Cyberculture: Cyberpulps such as Beneath Ceaseless Skies and pulp-influenced games such as the Age of Conan MMORPG or the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game.
These are but suggestions for potential panels and presentations. Proposals on other topics are welcome.
For general information on the Pulp Studies area, please visit our website: http://pulpstudies.weebly.com/
•When submitting your paper, abstract, proposal, or panel please include your name, affiliation, and email address. For those submitting a panel, include the name, affiliation, and email address for each participant and note who will be the principle contact and panel chair.
•Abstracts should be approximately 250 words in length.
•Indicate if presentation media is required. Projectors will be present in most locations, but presenters must supply their own computers.
•A preliminary version of the schedule will usually be posted on our website in January. Due to the number of panels and participants, we are unable to accommodate individual scheduling requests. We encourage participants to come for the entire conference. The final version of the schedule will be distributed in hard copy at the conference with addendums if needed. For privacy reasons we do not publish email addresses in the online version of the program.

We have hired the next Casco Baykeeper, who will begin working with us in January. We are very excited to introduce you to Ivy Frignoca.
Ivy has been living in the Casco Bay watershed for the past 25 years, and she will bring an impressive array of skills and local knowledge to the role of Casco Baykeeper. In her most recent work with Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), Ivy has been working on issues facing Maine's marine waters, including ocean and coastal acidification. She has been serving as CLF's Oceans, Clean Water and Clean Air Advocate throughout New England. Her professional experience also includes teaching marine biology and ecology, interpreting natural history, designing policies to protect and promote Vermont state parks and forests, and advocating for stronger environmental protections for Lake Champlain.
Executive Director Cathy Ramsdell, who has been serving as Casco Baykeeper Pro Tem over the past year, says, "I have seen firsthand that Ivy has a tremendous capacity to study a topic and comprehend the issues involved, find ways to broach the issues with a wide variety of stakeholders, listen and then bring people together to find common ground to address the challenges and move forward. Her legal skills – which are notable – are very helpful in this regard; but we are not hiring Ivy because she is an attorney. We are hiring Ivy because she offers a diverse skill set as well as an engaging combination of warmth, accessibility, humor, and brilliance.
Casco Baykeeper Emeritus Joe Payne is delighted with Ivy's appointment. "Ivy is a powerful package. She's an environmental attorney, a former marine biology teacher, and a skilled negotiator. I have high regard for her work ethic, her communication skills, and the energy she brings to her work."
Like the two Casco Baykeepers before her, Ivy will use a work-with approach. "I have long admired Friends of Casco Bay's collaborative approach to advocating for the health of the Bay," she said, "and I am honored that I am about to become the next Casco Baykeeper."
Says Cathy, on closing the search, "In Ivy Frignoca, I believe we have chosen the right person to join our team. She has the personality, the past experience, and the passion to be our next Casco Baykeeper."
Our Baykeeping Program exists to reduce pollution and improve the health of the Bay, providing an iconic advocate who acts as the eyes, ears, and voice of the Bay. While our Casco Baykeeper holds the official title, through the program our volunteers and staff advocate for solutions to problems facing our waters.
We are going through a comprehensive process to find our next Casco Baykeeper and will keep you posted on our transition.
As Casco Baykeeper, Joe Payne has taken a unique, "work-with" approach in his efforts to find solutions to problems facing the Bay. Collaborating with fishermen, businesses, government agencies, citizens, and other stakeholders, Joe has advocated for solutions that are pragmatic, scientifically sound, and effective.
Under the umbrella of Friends of Casco Bay, the Casco Baykeeper is a member of WATERKEEPER® Alliance, an international environmental movement that began on New York's Hudson River, where commercial and recreational fishermen united to save the river from polluters. The Waterkeeper concept evolved from gamekeepers in Great Britain who were responsible for maintaining private trout and salmon streams for wealthy landowners. The American interpretation of this role safeguards our waterways for the entire population.
What does it mean to be a Waterkeeper?
Waterkeepers – whether Baykeepers, Riverkeepers, Soundkeepers, or Bayoukeepers – all share the same mission: to defend their water bodies by responding to citizen concerns, advocating compliance with environmental laws, and working to resolve pollution problems that threaten their waterways.
The Board of the Waterkeeper Alliance reviews and licenses every program that seeks to call itself Waterkeeper. As a founding member of Waterkeeper Alliance, Friends of Casco Bay helped develop the quality standards that each program must meet. Here are a few:
1. A recognizable person to serve as a full-time, paid public advocate for the water body.
That individual is an "aqua-cop" committed to enforcing environmental laws and standards. A Waterkeeper uses whatever tools are appropriate, from personal persuasion and public opinion to government intervention or litigation.
2. Members whom the Waterkeeper represents.
Members provide the grassroots constituency that may be called upon to influence polluters, media, state agencies, and politicians. In addition, they help provide operating income and, most critically, give the Waterkeeper organization legal standing. One of the strongest tools a keeper has is the Citizen Suit provision of the Clean Water Act, which allows Waterkeepers and others acting for the environment to sue polluters. The Clean Water Act gives "any citizen" the authority "to commence a civil action" against an entity (including the federal or state government) that is violating "an effluent standard or limitation." In a court of law, the Waterkeeper literally speaks for the organization's individual members.
3. A boat with the Waterkeeper name clearly labeled to ensure on-the-water recognition.
That clearly-identified presence may be as modest as a canoe or as imposing as a high-speed patrol boat, whatever mode of transportation is best suited to maintain on-the-water vigilance.
4. An office where the Waterkeeper conducts fundamental tasks.
Tasks that are required to support the program include bookkeeping, strategic planning, and fundraising. A Waterkeeper cannot be a government employee.
5. A phone number citizens can call to report pollution incidents or concerns.
The Waterkeeper answers questions, speaks at public meetings, and talks with people around the Bay. The phone number represents response, advocacy, and enforcement. Contact information for alternate phone numbers or hotlines provides coverage even when emergencies occur after hours.
Fund the Baykeeper Program
You can support the Baykeeper's advocacy work on behalf of the Bay. Donate here and write "Baykeeper" in the designation box once you get to the billing page. Thank you!

Hello, I am a very confused 47 year old woman,I had a very
Resolved Question:
Hello, I am a very confused 47 year old woman,I had a very intense, passionate relationship with Lee that ended 2 years ago. We traveled alot, we where always together and he introduced me to his friends and family as his significant other, then we talked about living together. There was a lot of alcohol and sex in the relationship. A week after our 1 year anniversary of dating on a Sunday, he kissed me good bye, said I love you, then
not call for 3 weeks and said it was over, I could come and get my things. When I went to pick up my things, we talked, I ended up having sex and spending the night..Yes stupid mistake.For the next 6 months we remained "semi" dating and being sexual, there where times he said he made a mistake, but never asked to get back together. This went on another 8 months and then I got sick of it and told him how I really felt in Jan, he said I was seeking a relationship and he was not. After that I did not speak to him for a month and 1/2 and started to feel better. I went in theraphy which was awful because she ended up telling me her problems, however I did get a few things out of it. We reconnected and he was so concerned about how I wanted to be friends and how he should be, we agreed no sex. I have always been puzzled by him always being so concerned about this kind of thing. Like he did not want me but did not want to let go either, it is still that
Since all of that, and beginning to move on, I started to reconnect with someone I breifly dated 4 years ago, we always remained friends and stayed vagely in touch. In the past 2 months we have become better friends, he told me 3 weeks ago he would like to date and we can go very slow. I am TERRIFIED! and have been keeping him at arms length. Of Course all of a sudden Lee seemed to be more interested.and for some stupid reason I went to dinner with him last night and told him I was dating some one, he said he was 'delighted', however his face said otherwise. We finally talked alot about our relationship and he kept apoligzing. I ended up spending the night..AAAhhh When I went to his house there where all kinds of booze bottles and I realized I think he is an alcoholic. What I heard is that I am not satisfied, (though I have not been sexual with anyone else). He would be ok to have a sexual relationship with me. I see he has no boundries anywhere.. Why can I not get over this person???? Was I so rejected?? Am I addicted?? Please give me some insight

Hi. Welcome to JustAnswer. I'm pleased to try to help you today.
I'm sorry to hear that you are having these problems. I think you are stuck in a classic relationship that revolves around not wanting to be abandoned, as opposed to any true feelings of love or connection. I don't think it's relevant whether or not Lee is an alcoholic. The botXXXXX XXXXXne is that he doesn't want to have a relationship with you - but he's OK to have sex with you. That's all that's about. Don't kid yourself into believing that he has deeper feelings for you that he's afraid to express. That's a female fantasy, and one that gets many women stuck in your situation for years on end. If he wanted to be with you, he would be. Period. If he seemed disappointed that you were interested in someone else, I suspect that's because he knows that means you won't be available for sex anymore. You're right - he has no boundaries. But you need to do some work on yours also. You are compelled to be with him because he rejected you. Another trap women tend to fall into. Don't let you ego get in the way of making a decision here. This isn't about you. This is about him. You don't need to prove to him that you really are worth his time. He's not worth YOUR time. Yes, you are in a sense addicted to trying to change your feelings of rejection. Move on and find someone who is willing to be in a relationship with you and not just toy with your feelings. Someday you will be glad he did you the favor of ending things!
Best wishes, and please let me know if I can answer any further questions. Tamara

Any help is appreciated.
I have a 50 amp breaker. I have #6 AWG wire with 3 conductors and a ground wire. The welder has 2 black wires and a green wire. The sheething on the welder's wire says 'green conductor for ground only'. The plug I have has 3 flat blades and says 'for non-grounded use only'.
I'm confused. Do I wire up the breaker with 2 hots, a neutral, and a ground and wire the receptacle with 2 hots and the ground? I was originally figuring I would use the 2 hots and a neutral from the breaker to the receptacle.
What am I missing here? -- As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Man Sharpens Another. Proverbs 27:17
rvb wrote:
You have the wrong plug / receptacle. A 240V welder doesn't use a neutral connection. You need a 240V 50A grounded plug / receptacle.
Crap. Thanks for the information, though. I was afraid of that.
But, I can still use my same wire, right? I just don't use the third conductor, only the two hots and the ground? -- As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Man Sharpens Another. Proverbs 27:17
See my other post. The wire you have is great, the proper receptacle and plug should run about $15 total at Home Despot.
rvb wrote:
Your confusion results from three different 'standards' over the years. The earliest 240 wiring had two hots and a neutral (red/black/white). Later welders (70's??) were 240 only and had two hots and a ground (red/black/green). The most modern code calls for 2 hots (red/black), ground (green), and neutral (white) if NEEDED.
Your cable is suitable for the latest code which calls for a 4 conductor receptacle and plug with 3 blades parallel to each other and a round or 'D' shaped pin for ground. I'd recommend heading off to Home Despot or similar and getting a matched set.
I *think* it is still code legal to use the 2 blade and 'D' shaped pin setup (maybe Bruce Bergman will weigh in here) which lacks a neutral. And yo will still find a lot of older installations with the angle blades which is not approved.
Hope that helps.
rvb wrote:
Thanks. It does...sort of. I am puzzled then with what I do with the wires from the welder to the plug. If the plug has '3 blades parallel to each other and a 'D' shaped pin for ground', how does that get wired to the welder properly since the welder wires (on which there is no plug) are only 2 hots and a ground?
Sorry for being a pain. I'm just trying to understand so I'm armed with as much knowledge as possible before heading off to the store ... again. I want to come back with the right stuff and be welding tomorrow night. :) -- As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Man Sharpens Another. Proverbs 27:17
Never mind. I think I've got it.
I need this: http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?sitex 021:22372:US&item0506
And this: http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?sitex 021:22372:US&itemU41
Thanks again, everyone for all the help!
-- As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Man Sharpens Another. Proverbs 27:17
That pair will work but you will have a left over white wire on the receptacle end.
take a look at www.mcmaster.com page 759 for a good chart of your options.
The 10-50 is the oldest style with the blades at an angle. You are looking at a 6-50 which is 240 volts but NO NEUTRAL. Your welder probably does not need one but why go with something that is not more universal (think new toys!) Take a look at the 14-50 style receptacle with all 4 terminals wired up (Black/Red/White/Green). Your welder cord probably only has 3 wires (Black/Red/Green) so use the mating 14-50 plug with nothing hooked up to the white wire terminal.

Hey everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I finally got my chores done for the weekend late last night (fixing horse fencing, fixing gates, taking down a tree, delivering the wood to father-in-law, etc.) and I installed the receptacle and plug for the welder.
It came out great and was very simple. I'll tell you something, though. That #6 wire is NOT the most flexible stuff on the planet! :)
Anyway, I fired up the welder and gave it a test run with some 6013 I was given with the welder. It ran great, but I was suprised at how shallow the penetration was with AC. Oh well. It'll do for now. :) Almost time to get more goodies now that I have the power sorted out.
Thanks to all that offered help and advice. It is appreciated.

Packaged foods often get a bad rap for contributing to problems in America like obesity and heart disease. While this is sometimes true, other brands are working to improve nutrition in the country. Sargento Foods, Inc., in partnership with culinary expert and registered dietitian, Michelle Dudash, is making it easier for Americans to incorporate healthier – yet tasty – options in their diets.
With the recent release of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, there is a greater call for people to choose nutrient-dense foods that are lower in sodium and saturated fat. And Sargento Reduced Sodium and Reduced Fat natural cheeses are just that.

White County is a county located in the U.S. state of Tennessee. As of the 2010 census, the population was 25,841.[2] Its county seat is Sparta.[3]
On September 11, 1806, an act of the Tennessee General Assembly created White County out of Smith and Jackson counties, responding to a petition signed by 155 residents of the area. The county's original geographic area included all of what are now White and Warren counties, as well as parts of modern Cannon, Coffee, DeKalb, Franklin, Grundy, Putnam, and Van Buren counties.[4]
The origin of the county's name is disputed. The county is officially held to be named for John White (1751–1846), a Revolutionary War soldier, surveyor, and frontiersman who was the first known white settler of the area. White had moved his family to the Cumberland Mountains from Virginia in 1789.[4] However, some historians suggest the county was named for Revolutionary War soldier James White, the founder of Knoxville.[4]
A temporary county seat was established near Rock Island, now in Warren County. Three years later a permanent county seat was established on the banks of the Calfkiller River and named Sparta.
In 1840, White County became a destination for people from all over the country when Christopher Haufmann erected a large hotel on Bon Air Mountain, part of the Cumberland Plateau. The hotel was near some mineral springs as well as being at a high altitude; both were thought to promote health, and people came from far and wide for the "cures" advertised by the resort.[5]
White County was the site of a very large saltpeter mining operation during the Civil War. The Cave Hill Saltpeter Pits (No. 1 and No. 2), located on Cave Hill near the mouth of England Cove, were intensively mined. Relics remain from that operation. Saltpeter is the main ingredient of gunpowder and was obtained by leaching the earth from these caves.[6]
The Civil War deeply affected White County, although no major battles were fought in the area. As it was on the border between the largely pro-Union East Tennessee and pro-Confederate Middle Tennessee, the county was the scene of bloodshed from partisans (called "bushwhackers") of both sides.[1] One famous Confederate guerrilla operating in the area was Champ Ferguson, who caused much mayhem and destruction before he was arrested after the war on May 28, 1865. Ferguson was tried by a military court, convicted and executed by hanging, one of only two Confederates executed for war crimes. He is buried in France Cemetery near Sparta.
Over the subsequent decades, White County slowly rebuilt from the ashes of war. The county was connected to the outside world by railroad, mainly because of the booming coal mining industries being started on Bon Air Mountain. The mountain was rich in bituminous coal, and enterprising local businessmen were quick to realize the profit potential that represented. Several mining towns sprang up on the plateau part of the county, including Bon Air, Eastland, and Ravenscroft.[7]
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 379 square miles (980 km2), of which 377 square miles (980 km2) is land and 2.8 square miles (7.3 km2) (0.7%) is water.[8] The eastern part of the county lies atop the Cumberland Plateau, while the western portion is situated on the Highland Rim, at a lower elevation. The Plateau Escarpment is visible from much of the western part of the county.
The Caney Fork, the county's primary drainage, flows across the southern portion of the county, and forms part the county's border with Van Buren, Warren and DeKalb. The river descends from the Cumberland Plateau to the Highland Rim through Scott's Gulf, a dramatic gorge noted for scenic waterfalls, most notably the 110-foot (34 m) Virgin Falls. The section of the Caney Fork in southern White County is part of Great Falls Lake, an artificial reservoir created by Great Falls Dam at Rock Island State Park. Downstream from this dam, the river enters a second reservoir, Center Hill Lake.
The Calfkiller River, a tributary of the Caney Fork, flows through the central part of White County, and drains the county seat, Sparta. The Falling Water River, also a tributary of the Caney Fork, flows through the northwestern part of the county, and forms part of the county's border with Putnam County. The Falling Water River is noted for its 136-foot (41 m) waterfall, Burgess Falls, which straddles the Putnam-White line.
White County also boasts over 1,200 documented caves (over 3.17 caves per square mile), which makes White County one of the most cave-dense regions in the world.[9]

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the most important annual fundraiser benefiting Special Olympics in the world. It also raises public awareness of the cause of people living with an intellectual disability. More than 85,000 policemen, policewomen and peace officers carry the Flame of Hope in 35 countries.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run was launched by a Kansas sheriff, Mr. Richard LaMunyon, who wanted to raise funds to support the Special Olympics cause. He thought that a torch run would be a good way to get peace officers involved in their community and in the Special Olympics movement. After only three years, the event was a success locally and the sheriff introduced the International Association of Chiefs of Police to his program. He immediately obtained the association's support and since then, police officers, customs officers, correctional officers and peace officers everywhere have chosen the Special Olympics movement as their corporate cause.
Participating in the many representation and fundraising activities held during the Law Enforcement Torch Run annual campaign helps special athletes make their dreams come true. It gives them the opportunity to compete and surpass themselves. Thanks to your involvement, more and more disabled people will have the right to dream, enter the job market and become more self-sufficient.
To organize an activity or participate to a fundraising event, please contact Special Olympics Québec at email@example.com or 514 843-8778.
Refund policy in case of force majeure: Special Olympics Québec will issue refunds as necessary on a case-by-case basis.
In order to encourage the organization of fundraising events, the provincial committee has set up a recognition program through which those who organize events and recruit sponsors can earn various rewards depending on the value of their accomplishments. The highest accolade is the chance to attend the Law Enforcement Torch Run international conference… and especially give athletes the opportunity to train and compete within the Special Olympics network! The organizations that have raised the most money will see the name or their department or unit added to the Honour Board.

@LilTunechi, tweeted, "This Nigga Luke trippin!!! I ain't feelin

Campbell also called out 99 Jamz radio personality DJ Khaled and other out-of-town rappers who've made the Magic City their second home. The New Times columnist's throwdown was picked up by MTV and various hip-hop blogs. But apparently Lil Wayne just heard about it.
"I'm tired of seeing these cats using up our beaches, soaking up our sunshine, taking over the nightclubs, and sleeping with our women without investing anything into the community," Campbell wrote.
No response yet from Uncle Luke, but we're sure a Twitter rap war is about to pop off. It's also not the first time a famous person has responded to a Campbell column via Twitter. Local shock jock Sid Rosenberg popped off on the former 2 Live Crew frontman after a column chastised the WQAM radio host for being unfair to Randy Shannon, the ex-head coach of the University of Miami football team.

Then maybe a sack of flour ripped open and strewn about, an army of ants pouring in from underneath a baseboard, a sink stopped up and still running, spilling water over its sides, tufts of animal hair floating around like Glinda the Good Witch in bubble form, an unhinged curtain rod smashed through the front of an old tube TV, a washing machine on spin cycle lurching across the floor, and a macaw perched on the edge of a bookcase, taunting a ravenous cat below with three or four of the phrases it overheard on the Home Shopping Network. You know, complete mayhem...

The ego. What is it and why does it get in our way?
The basis of my work at The Joyful Mother is helping women see, understand and navigate through our ego. As far as our identities go, most of us live lives fully engaged with the ego. We don't consciously know there is anything else underneath. We do, however, sense this "other" state of being in flashes. Those moments when the mind is quiet and peace and joy reign give you a sense of this other place. But we don't know how to stay there and life snaps us back in to the clutches of the ego until we can experience these moments of spontaneous FLOW once again.
So what is the ego really? The ego, is, in essence, the outward manifestation of unconsciousness and in specific, the culmination of two mental habits. So, what are those habits? The first one stems from our tendency, unconsciously of course, of believing every thought that passes through our mind. Not just do we believe, without question, each thought we think, but we identify with each thought as well. Each thought is like a brush stroke on the canvas of our self image. The problem with this is that our brain is NOT a truth telling machine. It's job is to simply process our outer world. When it experiences a stimuli from the environment, it attempts to make sense of it by connecting it to existing neurological pathways, memories and habits. This is how we make sense of the world. But this is NOT the source of wisdom or truth within us. THAT comes from that "other" place (getting to it, I promise!)
So the ego's strength rests on you believing everything you think, especially the stuff that keeps you small, limited and afraid. The ego is the voice inside your mind that believes the world is scary, that you are in a constant state of threat. It's real intention is to keep you safe, but it keeps you closed down instead. Stuck in a jail surrounded by illusions the brain processes as truths. The ones the ego loves the most are: I am not worthy! No one can love me! I can't do it! I will never amount to anything! I am a looser! I am just stupid! I can never change!
Workaround nr. 1
In order to challenge the ego, we must challenge the TRUTH of our thoughts. The ego's power rests in your unquestionable belief in it. It cannot withstand the truth. Begin by catching your ego in action. That is easy, every time you feel bad, your ego is in the driver's seat. Once you have caught that slippery little buggar, hold it up to the light and question the assumption it is feeding you by asking "is this true?" if you get a yes…ask again "is this really, really, no question, 100% true?" or "if love was my guide, would this still be true?" Cracks will start to form. You will begin feeling the TRUTH creep in the more you ask this question, the more you question your thoughts. Choose to then assume or take on the truth as your chosen belief instead of the illusion the ego has been feeding you. This takes practice, awakening is no simple task, the ego has us engrained in some seriously strong mental habits, but a sliver of willingness is all it takes to begin crumbling the wall and letting light in!
The second mental habit that fuels ego identification is an extension of believing in every thought that we think and is rooted in our misunderstanding of the role of emotions. Many of the lies the ego tells us were placed there by messages from significant people in our lives or society "truths" that we believe without question. As children, many of us were told, either directly or indirectly, that we are unworthy of love for example. We believe that because we were children and lacked a source that countered that message. We had no choice but to believe it, because it came from an "adult" authority. We processed that truth and took on the emotion that came with it: shame, insignificance, self-loathing, etc…
So we carry these emotions with us throughout our lives. Not consciously of course. The ego gets it's power from "unresolved emotional imbalance". We carry them into every relationship and condition of our lives clouding our vision and serving to sabotage our BEST selves and keeping us unconsciously linked to the past. But what we don't realize is that ego is weak. When ego is sitting in the driver's seat though, we don't see this. On the contrary, it feels more like ego has us in a vice grip, sucking out the last breath of joy within us and keeping us hostage of the past or of our crappy present.
Workaround nr. 2
Ego's kryptonite is surrender. Ego keeps us prisoners by having us believe that actually FEELING our emotions is the most frightening thing we can do, but surrendering to the strong emotions that we feel, that keep us limited, is just what will free us. You see, we don't truly understand the role of emotion in our life. Emotions want, no, NEED to be felt, to be processed. Emotions are sign-posts, giving us information about what we want more of or less of. They are directional information, that's it. When we take the time to sit, go within and to allow the emotion (even if we are not clear what it exactly IS we are feeling) to wash over us, to step into it like a shower, to hang on to it, to not look away and to feel it fully, it passes and releases its grip around our neck. In addition, it gives us messages, sacred direction for our lives. Here is what a few of my clients have said about the results they have experienced from the meditative process I offer to release negative emotion:
"When I recognize the emotion in my stomach or I'm angry, sad, lack of energy (whatever the emotion) I stop what I'm doing an pay attention to where I'm holding that emotions. Sometimes my back hurts or I can feel it in my stomach. I say it's ok to feel this….i ask my self, am I sad, angry, frustrated? Then I say it's ok and feel the emotion. As soon as I put my attention or awareness on the emotion it fades. Sometimes it fades really quickly. Like within a minute. Then I ask myself how do I want to feel. Then generate that emotion." – Kelli
"I learned, using the Release Meditation, to invite those feelings in, to let them become part of me. Then they were no longer something I was fighting against. I think that resistance is what I release in the meditation. When feelings are absorbed by my energy it no longer physically feels separate or like a threat… – Blair
"What was a powerful realization seems so simple ~ FEELINGS want to be FELT! When I allow myself to feel them, it is like they slowly diminish and calmed. It's like they know they have served their purpose and are content to just chill. To separate my higher self from the fear, worry, anger (whatever) and to be an aware observer is amazing. It allows me to realize that they are JUST feelings…they cannot hurt me….unless they are repressed!" – Laura
The ego cannot withstand being SEEN, felt, processed. It thrives on the darkness of your mind. By bringing your emotions that make you feel bad into the light, they are transmuted into light themselves. You are freed. It is from THIS PLACE of FLOW that joy and love become consistently players in your game of life. This is where you no longer get flashes of happiness here and there, but get to swim in joy everyday!
When I work with moms around the world, not only do I help them question the voice of ego but I help them teach their children to do the same. When a child is taught, from loving and emotionally healthy parents, to question their thoughts, to process and let go of emotions that hold them back, that they do not need, they will have within their grasp the tools of emotional autonomy and a consistently joyful life.
If you feel like you have some unresolved, stuck emotional energy that seem to impact how you react to what life throws at you, if you suffer from strong bouts of fear, worry and anxiety which stop you from living from FLOW, stop you from living a joyful existence, connect with me. I offer a 45 minute Guided Release Session where I walk you through the process of feeling and releasing what you want to be FINISHED with emotionally.
Most people are afraid of feeling their feelings. We know those monsters are there but we choose to submerge and suppress those things we don't want to feel. But, do they never truly go away? Even if we shove them to a deep, unconscious level, the energy of our emotions are always circulating in our energy field impacting our thoughts, emotions and actions.
In the 45 minute Guided Release Session I offer, I hold your hand through this process, supporting you, reminding you that your feelings cannot actually hurt you and encouraging you to let them go. To get the most from this process, you must be in a state of mind where you are willing and ready to let your stuff go and step into a life of joy.
Purchase your spot here and I will connect with you in the next few minutes to confirm your email address and schedule your session! The price includes an MP3 recording of both our session and the Guided Release Meditation for your daily use.
If you have questions about the process, just send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or click on the blue Contact button on the right hand bottom corner here on this page.
Joy bubbles naturally into to the surface in a state of mind FREE of heavy emotional energy. Let go of it today.

"MBT Shoes are all I wear anymore. My back feels great and they are so comfortable. My legs are like iron and all I do is walk in both the casuals and sandals. I have given 4 pairs to family and watched my 80 year old Mom begin to walk straight again. She loves them. My sister just received her 2nd pair."
