"Skins" Retro Recap (3.06): "Naomi"
And then it's morning and they're at opposite angles again — in Naomi's bed.
Naomi blinks her eyes open and rolls over, clutches a vodka bottle to her chest the way she clutched her teddy bear as a little girl because the night is dark and the world wants to rip her apart. And there's Emily. Emily who thinks she can do anything. Emily who sees the truth of Naomi and is dazzled by it. Emily with her hair splayed out like fire on Naomi's pillow, looking for all the world like a painting in want of an artist. And she happens to Naomi. Every time she sees her, Emily happens to Naomi all over again. And in sleepyhead veritas, just like we've talked about, Naomi reaches out her hand to caress Emily's hair.
Naomi pulls her hand away almost immediately, muttering "for f-cks sake." She grabs some clothes willy-nilly off the floor, asks out loud what she's doing. And she leaves. She tells herself enough, but it never is. It's never enough and it's always too much and if it really is the world that wants to maim her, why does it feel like Emily Fitch is the one who is destroying her?
At Roundview, Cook's got a whole Chavez riot going, and if JJ and his mum painted this banner, they've got some explaining to do about that weaksauce poster they made Lara for JJ's ukulele serenade. Seriously, if they can do this in a night, they should start a business. Emily chases Naomi down again and tells her she got the message, but they still can't let Cook win the election. The look on Naomi's face when Emily says it is just …. how do you never stop being so great, Emily Fitch?
Campaign montage! (Emily, those posters are the most horrific thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Where did you learn to match your colors? Naomi's closet?)
At lunch time, Naomi marches right into the cafeteria, hands Emily her bag, and jumps up on a table to talk about the election. Cook interrupts and gets a deafening See You Next Tuesday from Emily. And because he never fights fair, he mocks Naomi about her "girlfriend" and reinforces the thing she's been afraid of all along: This is what caring does. It hurts you. It embarrasses you. You dream out loud and you fall down in front of everyone.
Naomi shouts at Emily to leave her alone, and she flees to Kieran's classroom for comfort. But by "comfort" he thinks she means "snogging" and he gets super gross super fast. And that's it. There are no more safe places for her to go.

With a vibrant arts culture, "live music capital of the world" status, and an active, outdoorsy scene, Austin's pretty darn hip. And for visitors of the Silicon Hills, there's plenty to do both around the city and in the comfort of their hotels so it's no wonder that Austin's hotels boast amenities that pack a pretty cool punch.

ONCEMORE1 - Votes for Republicans switched to Democrats in Moline - Quincy, IL News - QuincyJournal.com
This goes well beyond the "hanging chad" debacle, this is a deliberate effort to weight the results in favor of the Democrats. The size of the target on a touchscreen is easily manipulated so that if the D spot is half or most of the screen and the R spot is a tiny area of the actual "sweet spot", the results are controlled by the administrator and not the voter-------who just "happens" to be…

Why is it that the typical Third Party frontrunner, usually Libertarian, shares many ideals with the Republican Party, siphons votes away from the Republicans and even receives support from the DNC and Unions to do so?

qfingers - Business owners split over minimum wage votes - Quincy, IL News - QuincyJournal.com
Jarosch above inadvertently elucidated the reason why minimum wage is BAD. He says people would leave his store to work somewhere with higher wage....but when everybody pays minimum wage there are no other high-paying jobs. If you get rid of minimum wage businesses would pay what people are willing to work for and wages would vary...some up...some down...and overall employment would increase.

Because no matter who is in charge, people will bash them on here, on Fox News, on MSNBC and everywhere else. The worst thing that can happen to the average voter is to hear nothing but a one sided opinion.

CHICAGO | Taj Gibson, you're starting tonight.
"I'm ready, coach."
Taj Gibson, you're coming off the bench tonight.
"Sure thing, coach."
Taj Gibson, you're guarding Dwight Howard AND James Harden tonight. Then run out at halftime and get me a Starbucks.
"No sweat, coach."
The Bulls' 6-foot-9 forward does it all as he proved recently by filling in for injured starter Carlos Boozer with very little drop-off in talent.
"Taj has given us balance," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "He's got a good mix with his post game, duck ins, offensive rebounding, the face up, the pick and roll.
"Taj has been very, very good."
With Boozer older now and more injury-prone, Gibson is like 4-wheel drive in deep snow. He makes the Bulls go.
"I've been doing that a whole lot lately," said Gibson, averaging 12.9 points and 6.5 rebounds this season and 19.3 points and 9.8 rebounds in his eight starts. "I'm just having fun. I don't care whether or not I start. I'm having fun helping my teammates and doing what I need to do.
"If I score, I score. If I get defensive stops, that's big. It helps us win games and that's all I want to do."
Most fans would prefer to have Gibson, not the often-erratic Boozer, team up with center Joakim Noah on that no-quit front line. Maybe it's because the Bulls were 5-1 without Boozer.
"Taj is playing great basketball," Noah said. "He's a load down in the post and he's hungry. We wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for Taj."
That "position" is currently battling Toronto, of all teams, for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. The two square off tonight.
It can be said Gibson is having a breakout year in this, his fifth season, and versatility is the reason. He's the Manu Ginobili of the Bulls, able to start or relieve and be effective at both.
"The advantage to starting is you're not sitting on the bench and getting cold," Gibson said. "But I can adapt to whatever role the coach gives me.
"That's part of being a pro. You just do your job and be happy you're in the NBA, man."
We get that do-your-job line from Thibodeau at least a dozen times after every game, win or lose, so I'm glad his players are paying attention.
Boozer will start again tonight against the surprising Raptors and Gibson is fine with returning to the pines.
He watched Kyle Korver do that three years ago, and then Nate Robinson last season. He asked questions, kept a mental notebook, and it has paid off.
"In my years as a pro, I've figured out my routine. I know how to get going whether I start or come off the bench," Gibson said. "Not a lot of players can really do that."
Thibodeau claims the Bulls have enough to win. I know. You're tired of hearing that. But they're in your face, start to finish, and there's no pacing on this team.
"The way 'Tibs' coaches us, we're gonna fight until the last man's standing," Gibson said. "We got that mentality."
That's all very noble, and true, but Chicago lacks the manpower to go deep in the playoffs. It will win an early series, then the bottom will fall out.
Remember the Alamo?

Finally someone said it.
I use this debate every time that I'd hear people complain about Barbie and her body shape and it's effects on girl. I never understood why people made a big deal out of it, it was just a doll - why would we blame a doll for unreal body expectations who could be any thing she wanted. A doll is a doll, not reality. I'd blame media and their UNREALISTIC expectations for us, before I'd blame a doll.
Stop Barbie Shaming.
I think this is a very interesting way to look at Barbie. I still think Barbie should be representative of more body types but looking at her positives are good as well.

The last week has certainly thrown our QB draft predictions through a loop.
The first shoe to drop was Michael Vick, who signed a new three-year contract "that's really a one-year deal" according to USA Today worth up to $10 million last Monday. He was already under contract but his restructured deal all but ended speculation that he might be a cap casualty and hit the open market. This leaves just Alex Smith and Matt Flynn as starting-caliber QB's who could be cut or traded by their current teams.
Then, over the weekend, Dorsey heavily criticized this year's incoming quarterback draft class, citing "so many inconsistencies" and "too many technical flaws, scheme flaws" among this year's crop.
Like Paddy, I struggle to understand the purpose of these statements except that maybe he's hoping to find a trade partner who is enamored with either DT Star Lotulelei or LT Luke Joeckel (the consensus top prospects at the moment) and is willing to hopscotch up to the Chiefs' spot to guarantee not missing out on one of them. Then again, it's February and GM's are usually the last person you can trust leading up to the draft. On the other hand, when you hold the first pick, you don't really need to juke out anyone.
A few days before his statements came reports that the Chiefs were interested in trading for Eagles QB Nick Foles. It remains unclear if these reports or credible or just idle speculation that Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid would be interested in taking the quarterback he drafted last year and started in the final seven games of the season. One way or the other, with the Chiefs QB options narrowing, it is certainly worth considering whether the team should make a play for Foles and what he would be worth.
In my opinion, Foles is worth at least the Chiefs' 3rd-round pick. Here's why:
His overall stats for his rookie season were unimpressive: 1-7 record, 60.8% completion percentage for 6.41 yards per completion, 6 touchdowns, 5 interceptions. But, it's important to see how he progressed. In his last four games last year he was 5 TD's, 2 INTs for 1,152 yards (a 289.25 per-game average).
Consider also that he was never supposed to see the field in 2012. He was widely regarded as a guy who would need a lot of development to be ready to play in the NFL.
Furthermore, he was able to put in respectable performances for the Eagles during the home stretch of a season that was a slow motion implosion. Our very own Andy Reid was a lame duck in Week 3. The defense was a sieve, allowing a 27.8 per game (3rd-worst in the league). Two coaches were fired mid-season. The offensive line was a disaster, allowing a league-high 118 QB hits, and 48 sacks. Only four teams allowed more.
In some ways, none of this was new to him. He played college ball at Arizona, a middling team in the PAC-12 that played poor defense and only got to one bowl game during his stint there. Their head coach was fired after his junior season.
Nonetheless, Foles was a highly ranked prospect in the 2012 Draft because he possesses the prototypical qualities of a successful quarterback – 6'5" with a big arm and knack for dropping bombs in his receivers' breadbaskets. In his final season for the Wildcats, he gained 4,334 yards with 28 TD's and 14 INT's. He was ranked CBS Sports' 48th overall prospect and was expected to go in the mid-to-late 2nd round. (For a total breakdown of his college work, check out Ladner's post on the subject from last year).
In fact, the only reason he fell so far was likely because last year's draft class was so much richer than this year's and there had already been a feeding frenzy on signal callers. Six quarterbacks were taken ahead of Foles — Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden, Brock Osweiler, Russell Wilson. All but one of those guys started this year and proved that they could be productive players. After Foles, Kirk Cousins and Ryan Lindley were selected and also ended up playing for their respective teams. So, while the Eagles may have gotten him for just a 3rd, that was a steal. Luckily for us, Pioli grabbed a backup lineman instead.
So what is he worth?
For the record, I should reiterate that I continue to believe that the Chiefs' best course of action is to franchise LT Brandon Albert, re-sign WR Dwayne Bowe and grab the top quarterback prospect (Geno Smith) with our first overall pick. We can pick up some serviceable veterans and depth players to plug in the rest of our holes with free agency and the lower-rungs of the draft.
But, that doesn't mean that there isn't a case for grabbing Nick Foles.
With his youth, upside and NFL experience, I think Foles would easily be one of the top three quarterback prospects if he was magically inserted into the 2013 draft. His tape reminds me a lot of Tyler Wilson and Mike Glennon and it's possible that both of those guys will go in the first round. I can't fathom either of them falling out of the 2nd.
So, Nick Foles' former draft position doesn't matter much when talking about draft compensation this year. In fact, given that he showed the ability to be productive at this level automatically means that he is worth more than the 88th overall pick, where he was chosen. Therefore, the Eagles are right to expect more in return.
If we're talking about equitable compensation I think the conversation starts at the Chiefs' 3rd-round pick, which, as Ladner pointed out, is really a late 2nd-round pick because the Saints and Browns have no 2nd-rounders this year. We will still probably get a late-3rd compensatory pick, so the sacrifice isn't devastating. But, I don't think the Chiefs should go as high as our #34 selection this year, simply because we need to get value with that pick this year (especially if we are going to "reach" at #1). But, I think it makes perfect sense to offer conditional 2014 picks and maybe even 2015 picks based on Foles' performance.
A possible deal could look like this – a 3rd or 4th this year and a 6th next year that could increase to a 4th, 3rd, or even 2nd-round pick in 2014 if he starts for us and takes us to the playoffs. Generally, a pick next year is considered the equivalent of a pick in the current year minus one round. In other words, a 3rd-rounder next year is worth a 4th-rounder this year in terms of draft capital.
With this kind of a deal, worst case scenario is that we give up one of our top-100 picks this year and not much else for a starting-quality backup, who is better than any QB we currently have on the roster, who is 24 and who has a ton of upside. He totally outplayed Brandon Weeden last year, who was taken in the 1st round and is five years older.
If Foles starts for us and we do well with him in 2013, we won't care that we lost our (late) 2nd or 3rd-round pick next year to get him.
Furthermore, Philadelphia may not be so determined to fetch such a high price. While they have said that they would need to be "blown away" by an offer, they have a new regime and are looking for a different type of quarterback. By re-signing Michael Vick and picking up QB Dennis Dixon, who Eagles Head Coach Chip Kelly coached in Oregon, they are showing they want a guy who is mobile and can keep up with Kelly's offense. Slow feet is one of Foles' greatest weaknesses. He is the black sheep on the roster. So, while they see value in him, that doesn't mean they're in love.
While I know it would be groan-inducing for most Chiefs fans, trading for Foles may also be the team's best way to get one of the most objectively talented prospects in the 2013 Draft plus a possible quarterback of the future. I've been on the record as saying that it would be a mistake for the Chiefs to bypass Geno for Lotulelei or Joeckel, but adding Foles to our shopping bag as a 3rd round pick changes things a bit.
If Dorsey truly is averse to grabbing the top QB in 2013, I think the best consolation prize we are going to find is Nick Foles.

Please confirm that your email address is correct, so you can successfully receive this alert.
By J. Allan Hobson and Jonathan A. Leonard. Cambridge, Mass., Perseus Publishing, 2002, 304 pp., $17.00 (paper).
Perhaps my expectations for this book were too great. Hobson is a respected professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School who has made contributions to our understanding of sleep and dreams. And the blurbs on the dust jacket were very promising: "A brainy book about the mind," "eye opening and scintillating."
Unfortunately, Hobson's collaboration with science writer Jonathan Leonard is a disappointment. I must confess that the conflicting and distinctive voices of the two authors of this book are disconcerting. It is as though they could not agree on the authorial tone of the text. Whatever the reason, even the case histories given as examples lack clinical verisimilitude, and there are troubling oversimplifications of the science and everything else.
The authors' enterprise was to describe and explain the crisis in the theory and practice of psychiatry and to offer a remedy. In my opinion, however, the first sentences of the acknowledgment indicate how their project went awry. They refer to their efforts to construct not a "Tower of Pisa" but an "Eiffel Tower" so as to scan the broad landscape. This analogy (typical of the prose style) explains why instead of building a book on Hobson's own solid expertise, the scientist and the science writer went around interviewing leading figures in the various subdisciplines of psychiatry. As a result, sections of this "overview" recount material that has been described (more convincingly) by those who have actually worked in the subspecialty and written books directed, like this one, at the general reader. I have in mind, among others, Descartes' Error by Damasio (1), The Emotional Brain by LeDoux (2), The Antidepressant Era by Healy (3), and Mood Genes by Barondes (4). Other sections reveal a woeful ignorance of health policy and medical economics.
The best sections of the book deal with Hobson's lifelong interests, e.g., the problem of consciousness and sleep and the "dance of dreams." Here one finds an ambitious attempt to present and explain the current scientific background (neuroanatomical and neurochemical) of the mind-brain problem. But even that writing is marred by a forced cleverness that annoys more often than it enlightens. In other places the authors are snide and brash: "Not all of the new psychiatric residents are hopeless" (p. 214). "And HMO [administrators] get paid plenty, because you can't hire competent people to do a nasty job like depriving others of health care benefits unless you pay them well" (p. 219).
Yes, psychiatry is in a crisis: morale is low, psychoanalysis is dead, managed care is a disaster, treatment resources are inadequate, psychopharmacology is not an exact science, and the brain is incredibly interesting. Unfortunately, the authors' account of all this brings no new insight or clarity, and despite their lofty vantage point they seem not to recognize that all of medicine is now afflicted with some of the same ailments.
The authors are upbeat and propose a call for reform. They base that reform on a new psychology—"neurodynamics," a bottom-up psychology based on brain science. They suggest that we can now go back to Freud's original scientific project—a theory of the mind based on our knowledge of the brain. Unfortunately, their overview demonstrates how far we still are from the knowledge base necessary for a bottom-up psychology. The brain is awe-inspiring in part because the more we understand about it the more we realize how much of it remains a mystery. As a scientific matter I would suggest that understanding the pathophysiology of cancer will be a simpler task than understanding "neurodynamics." We can expect a cure for cancer long before our science reduces the mind to the brain.
I know and admire Allan Hobson, so I can only hope that his general readers will find more here than I did.

Veterans Helping Veterans of Western North Carolina is a new organization created to help local veterans successfully reintegrate into civilian life.

Report shines light on Asheville's hunger, homelessness problems
Last week, the U.S. Conference of Mayors released an in-depth report examining the hunger and homelessness situations in 25 cities across the country, including Asheville. The report found that the city has serious issues with low wages, unaffordable housing, poverty, and the number of domestic violence survivors who end up homeless. Increases in homelessness are modest, but more families are homeless. The report also highlighted some local organizations doing "exemplary" work on the issues but predicted that coming social service cuts could make the situations on both fronts more dire.

The problem I have is creating a share from XP to windows 7.

The San Francisco Giants finished 16 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013. Unfortunately for the Giants, they're going to have to make up more than just those 16 games on the Dodgers this winter.
According to Wendy Thurm of FanGraphs.com, the Dodgers have already committed a league-most $195.3 million to next year's payroll. That means they'll be bringing back virtually the same club next year, right?
Well, not so much as the Dodgers ownership group isn't messing around. According to Peter Gammons, the Dodgers plan to pursue Japanese free-agent pitcher Masahiro Tanaka and Tampa Bay Rays lefty David Price via trade. A rotation of Clayton Kershaw, Price, Tanaka, Zack Greinke and Hyun-jin Ryu would seem to guarantee the Dodgers another NL West crown in 2014, and perhaps for many years beyond.
While the Giants don't necessarily have to match the Dodgers payroll dollar for dollar, they do need to make a splash this winter to avoid being relegated to chasing the wild card. Tanaka went 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA over 28 regular season appearances in Japan last year. He's pretty clearly the top free-agent starter on the market, and the Giants are in desperate need of rotation help after posting the National League's third-worst rotation ERA in 2013.
Tanaka would give them another top-of-the-rotation arm alongside Madison Bumgarner and Matt Cain. Even if the Dodgers were to acquire Price, the Giants could compete in the NL West with a rotation of Bumgarner, Cain, Tanaka and Tim Lincecum.
The Giants reportedly sent top scout Pat Burrell to scout Tanaka back in August. If the Giants want to compete with the Dodgers and prevent their arch-rivals from becoming a superpower in the NL West, signing the best starter on the free-agent market to bolster a weakened rotation would seem to be the way to go, particularly since the Dodgers want Tanaka.
The Giants have scouted Tanaka, and given that he went 24-0 and has drawn comparisons to Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish, it's hard to imagine they don't want him. Thus, the question is whether or not ownership will be willing to fork over the posting fee to negotiate with Tanaka. The Rangers posted $51.7 million to win the right to negotiate with Darvish two years ago. Will the Giants be willing to spend upwards of $50 million to negotiate with Tanaka?
My guess is the Giants won't be willing to outbid the Dodgers and other suitors for Tanaka. The Giants aren't likely to boost payroll significantly beyond the $131 million they spent in 2012 and the $136 million they spent last year. They've already committed $127.5 million to next year's club. If they increase payroll by $5 million again, that leaves only $14 million left to play with, which would preclude them from spending $50 million to negotiate with Tanaka.
In an ideal world, the Giants ownership group would boost payroll incrementally once more. However, in this brave new world, the Giants are competing with an ownership group that doesn't worry about spending money. The Dodgers ownership group has deep pockets, but it isn't as though the Giants owners can't compete. Charles Johnson, the club's top investor, is worth $5.6 billion according to Forbes.
The Giants cable deal isn't as lucrative as the Dodgers, and the ownership group may not be quite as wealthy. Thus, the Giants are never going to match the Dodgers payroll. However, this winter, they need make up significant ground on their enemies down south.
To do that, the Giants need to sign Masahiro Tanaka. Ownership may not want to dip into their personal funds to spend millions of dollars to negotiate with Tanaka, but that is what winning in 2014 is going to take. The Dodgers were good in 2013, and they want to be even better next year. The Giants are going to have to start competing with the Dodgers off the field in order to play in the same league on the field next season.

People always say "well I know who wears the pants in the relationship". No, I'm not going to say "he wears the pants but I control the zipper". Marriage isn't 50/50, Divorce is. Marriage is 100/100. Truth is, no single person wears the pants. We put on the same pair, the same way. One leg at a time. We zip the zipper together. We put one belt on. Why do you think the one pair has two leg holes? We take each step at a time together. And how do we make every decision in our lives? That's right, you guessed it, together. Marriage doesn't work if you aren't equals. We may joke and say "haha I wear the pants in this relationship" but in all actuality, we are one person who shares one pair.
Let's start a new trend called #dontfreebeiber
My mom was hit by a drunk driver and almost died. I have 0 tolerance for drinking in driving. The military just made new standards that if you drink and drive, you're immediately chartered out. That's the way it should have been from the beginning!! My husband said that sometimes people make mistakes. No. Drinking and driving is not a mistake, it is a choice! That person got drunk and knowingly and willingly grabbed their car keys and drove. Putting other people in danger. So no. DONT FREE JUSTIN BEIBER!
but why are people talking about bieber getting arrested when ed sheeran saved a kitten from being put down
then he posted this on instagram
and he made a twitter for graham the cat
graham posted a photo too
in conclusion ed sheeran is great and graham is one lucky kitten
(via iwouldntmindit-atall)
My cat is in a bad mood today. He's laying against me and hisses every time I move….
Well, I have my own Active Duty checking account. I'm so used to sharing one with my husband. I'm so used to doing EVERYTHING as/with my husband as a matter of fact. I've never had to sign a counseling statement. Well, I signed my own today. Ive always seen his name at the top of military forms. I've always just been a joint user on my husbands bank account and now I have my very own. Granted I've always had my own account with a regular bank but nothing with one where you have to be active duty to have it.
Today I started doing the future soldier training online and it shows my soon-to-be rank and name. I've always been "Smoaks wife." Or something of that nature. I haven't even left yet and I already feel something I've never felt before - like I'm doing something for myself, by myself.
While doing this training, I've realized that there are some plus sides to my husband being active duty. And those are: I blew threw the first 3 trainings on fs.com like it was nothing because my husband always hammered it into my head. Ranks and insignia, military time, and the phonetic alphabet. Now to conquer land navs…. Probably won't be as knowledgeable…
77 days.
Finally had my future soldier orientation set up. Gotta start practicing calling everybody at the office "SGT" or else it's 10 push ups per infraction. Already had to do 10 lol. Now to get direct deposit and AKO all set up.
My husband just doesn't understand my need of coffee before I can do anything first thing in the morning that involves cleaning.

Facilitator ~ Julie Pretyman
Julie became a school teacher in 1975 and taught for 15 years before exploring her interest in art. This led her into creating very expressionistic, colourful paintings which then led into the most exciting journey of her life!
As she 'tuned' into the vibration of colour, the paintings became meditations and tools for spiritual awareness. The 45 Kaleidoscope cards were created and became part of programs for both adults and children.
Julie has taught both adults and children in workshops in Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania.

No experience is necessary. This workshop is suitable for complete beginners to advanced sound practitioners.

The British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST) was formed in 2000 following many years of research and development. Lyz is a published author and specialises in bringing together ancient knowledge and teachings with cutting edge science such as quantum physics, psychoimmunology and neurology to help explain why sound is such an effective transformative tool.
Lyz travels all over the world presenting her work and is delighted to be bringing the BAST methodology to Australia.

We are happy to announce the Labyrinth has had a total renewal, due to the beautiful work of Mick, John and Warwick of the Crystal Castle team, and Patrick from Interactive Landscapes. It is looking absolutely fantastic, and feels better than ever.
Referred to as A Walk of Spiritual Reflection, the labyrinth can be used simply as a peaceful walk or as an opportunity to quietly reflect and allow the space for an answer to arise. A suggestion is for the walker to hold a question in their mind whilst allowing themselves to be receptive or 'invite in' guidance.
In the Middle Ages an eleven-circuit labyrinth design divided into four quadrants became popular. It was often found in Gothic Cathedrals but over time many of these eleven-circuit designs were destroyed or intentionally removed. The most famous labyrinth still in existence today is at Chartres Cathedral near Paris. Its labyrinth was built around 1200 AD.
Created in 2000, the Crystal Castle's labyrinth is based on this same design. The walker meanders through each of the four quadrants several times before reaching the goal. An expectancy is created as to when the centre will be reached. At the centre is a rosette design which has a rich symbolic value including that of enlightenment.
This amazing place has been the site for wedding ceremonies and solstice rituals with its mystical setting and rose quartz flower of life at the centre.

Raising Men - Pathways to Manhood
This is not a Crystal Castle event, but we just have to share it as it's such a profound offering from our friends at Raising Men.
Raising Men is a 6 Day bush camp for boys aged 12 - 15 and their fathers or a male mentor, and Crystal Castle owner Naren and his son Toby will be attending this December (there's also a camp in September). Developer and Facilitator Dr Arne Rubinstein is an expert on adolescent development.
Pathways to manhood programs have been running since 1994 and thousands of families have been touched by this life changing event. We are proud to share about the next generation of camps, Raising Men, which will also include a structured follow up to provide ongoing support and opportunities for the young men.
All the facilitators are pathways trained and we hope that like so many others you will experience this life changing event.
Says Naren "I have known Arne and several of the facilitators for many years, they are extraordinary individuals doing great work. I have seen a lot of young men emerge tall and strong from this week in the bush, after an extraordinary life-changing journey. I believe initiation of our young men is sadly lacking in our present culture, and this fills that gap."
Please share & invite other interested people to this event.
For more info go to http://www.raisingmen.com.au/ or on facebook www.facebook.com/raisingmen
NBN news came along for the Stupa construction day on the 29th March.
Here is an extract from the full story aired that evening.
A sacred Buddhist monument designed to last 1000 years is taking shape at the Crystal Castle.
The Kalachakra Stupa, is the first of it's kind in the Southern Hemisphere and is meant to be a good omen in times of war, conflict and natural disasters.
Today monks placed sacred scrolls and objects inside the monument, before it was sealed shut.
"The Tibeten buddhist believe just seeing a stupa, being involved with it or just touching it or being around it in any form is good for Karma and spiritual development"
The monument should be finished before the end of the year.
