Minister to visit Lenasia sitesComment on this story
Johannesburg - Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale will visit Extension 13 in Lenasia on Monday following the demolition of houses illegally erected on government land.
Sexwale, the SA Human Rights Commission and residents held a closed meeting in Lenasia ahead of his inspection of the area.
Sexwale would inspect the sites where demolitions had taken place and would later speak at a public meeting of residents.
Almost three weeks ago, 50 houses were demolished by the Gauteng department of local governance and housing.
At the time, the department said it was acting within the law when it tore down houses.
On Thursday, Cabinet asked Sexwale to urgently intervene in the situation by working with the provincial department to reach a solution.
He would be accompanied on his visit by Gauteng housing MEC Ntombi Mekgwe.

Athenahealth And MedChi To Streamline Practice Management And Improve Care Coordination For Maryland Physicians
athenahealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHN), a leading provider of cloud-based practice management, electronic health record ( EHR), and care coordination services to medical groups, announced that they will work with MedChi, The Maryland State Medical Society. This collaboration is intended to help Maryland physicians more easily realize the clinical and financial benefits of cloud-based services in their practices.
As part of this relationship, MedChi will offer its members across the state of Maryland an easy path to accessing and implementing, at a discount, athenahealth's suite of cloud-based services, including athenaClinicals®, the company's EHR offering; athenaCollector®, its practice management and medical billing offering; athenaCommunicator®, its patient communication service; and athenaCoordinator®, its care coordination service.

Gene Ransom, MedChi CEO, said, "For many physicians in Maryland, adapting to today's complex health care environment is daunting. Some practices have been disadvantaged in efforts to qualify for Meaningful Use dollars or become Accountable Care Organizations, while others are putting disproportionate time and resources towards front-of-office administration. These physicians need solutions to stay viable businesses. We've chosen to work with athenahealth because they have proven to be a trusted partner for physicians and hospitals. athenahealth knows how to navigate the inefficiencies physician practices deal with every day and help them keep their focus on providing care."
Jonathan Bush, CEO and chairman of athenahealth, added, "MedChi shares a focus on removing the distractions that threaten the business of medicine and the physician-patient relationship. We're moving into an era of heightened accountability, and, as more providers in Maryland seek Patient-Centered Medical Home status and Accountable Care Organization designations, they'll need uncomplicated solutions that handle their clinical administration burdens, measure their effectiveness, and help ensure quality outcomes."About athenahealth athenahealth, Inc. is a leading provider of cloud-based business services for physician practices. athenahealth's service offerings are based on proprietary web-native practice management and electronic health record ( EHR) software, a continuously updated payer knowledge-base, integrated back-office service operations, and care coordination services.

Space is limited to 20 students - November 3 - December 22, 2014
Ever seen a play where everything's going great and then all of a sudden the show seems to stop because there's a fight? The audience wonders what happened to the play. Show them you can act and fight at the same time in this 8 week workshop!
The first 2-4 weeks will focus on stage combat principles that apply to all weapons (or no weapons!). By weeks 2-4 all students will have a scene and a partner. We explore breaking down the script to find the most organic movement choices for the characters, and how to choreograph safe, believable fights that make sense for the world of the play. Students may bring in their own scenes, or scenes may be assigned. Partners with a scene in mind are welcome! All levels of combat experience welcome! Students will showcase their work at the end of the session.
Students must participate in warm-up.
Prerequisite: Some acting experience. Students should wear comfortable clothing and secure footwear (no sandals or bare feet). Students must bring a copy of the play chosen to class. Taking Scene Study concurrently is highly recommended. Memorization and rehearsal outside of class is required.
Space is limited to 20 students

Every moment on-stage is a collaboration with the audience, your fellow actors, and your own instincts and skills. This class is for beginners and experienced students.

Need to create, update or sharpen your repertoire of songs? Perform at your peak! Regina and Steven will help find new, appropriate songs for each student or find hidden, personalized nuances in your current songs. Improve your book, get the confidence you need and make your skills pitch perfect.

Students will learn to pronounce clear vowels and diphthongs to enhance the voice and articulate clear, precise consonants to improve intelligibility. Principles of breath control, ear training, rhythm and intonation will be introduced to new students and reviewed by returning students who will be challenged by advanced exercises. These techniques will be applied to the study of General American and Standard English.
Each student will receive individual attention in every class.

Innkeepers were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Comfortable room and quiet.
The tastefully appointed house the breakfasts the friendliness of the host and his wealth of information about santa fe the open-door, trusting atmosphere
The location of the Inn. A very comfortable room and extremely considerate and helpful owner more than willing to advise on local dining and museums, galleries etc. A great breakfast on both days we stayed. Highly recommended.
Comfortable, spacious room; pleasant outdoor seating in a private courtyard; attention to detail in decor; interesting, delicious meals with fresh fruit; 24-hour access to common area with use of refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, ice, books, music, and newspapers
No complaints!
Everything about this place is excellent. It is located just outside the hustle and bustle of town, but within easy walking distance to the center of town. The property and rooms are beautiful, but best of all are the hosts: affable, welcoming, friendly and knowlegable. Ask them for advice on what to do and you will be directed to the most interesting happenings and to the best restaurants. They will also tell you anything you want to know about local lore and history. The breakfasts are of gourmet quality.This is one of the best places I've ever stayed at, and I fully intend to stay here again when I visit Santa Fe. I recommend Four Kachinas very highly.
Walt the owner was attentive and helpful. The delicious breakfast was amazing!
The home was lovely. The breakfasts were delicious and the hosts were warm and helpful. The location was very convenient to walk to the Plaza and Railyard area.
There wasn't much to not like but the floors in our room in the main house were a tad squeaky. But that goes with the character of an older home with gorgeous hardwood floors.
Convenient walking distance to downtown Santa Fe. Friendly host.
Room was a little cramped.
The innkeepers were so attentive and helpful. We have never experienced owners who spent so much time sharing recommendations and answering questions.
owner is an excellent host. very friendly, easy to speak with, and seems to enjoy his role in our vacation..
Liked it all--facilities (bedroom, bath, living room, dining room), breakfast, location, hosts.
The Inn was lovely. Great location. Wonderful Hosts!!! Great breakfast served with hospitality!
The breakfast was excellent. We got great recommendations for nearby restaurants. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Pressure On To Reduce And Control Office Print Costs As SMBs Bring More Print Tasks In-house
Businesses need to gain a better understanding of the amount of printing that is taking place in their organisation and to control it. To do this, SMBs should consider software options that can identify, track and manage printing. "As IDC has identified, the first step to controlling costs is to identify what these costs are," confirms Laidlaw.
"By installing tracking software which sits on the network, the business can monitor and manage print volume by department or user. For example, it can pinpoint which employees are printing, whether the print jobs are colour or mono and the number of pages in each case, the time of day jobs are sent and the type of files being printed."
Armed with this information, usage software can then enable the setting of rules that can help control print output and so reduce on-going costs. These can include:
- Identifying individual user or department activity in order to charge specific departments or customers accordingly
- Setting mono printing as standard, so that users have to change the driver settings to print in colour
- Setting defaults so that all documents print in duplex unless the printer settings are changed to single-sided mode
- Allowing only certain employees to print in colour, limit colour use for particular document types or set page limits for each user's colour output
- Setting a draft or toner save mode as standard, so that users only change the settings if they expressly need higher quality print output
Reducing the need for external print servicesThe cost of external print services should be included in any analysis of overall print costs and requirements. The availability of print devices that enable more printing to move in-house means that SMBs can print what they need when they need it, rather than printing large volumes in order to get the necessary economies of scale which can lead to wastage and a requirement for extra storage space which can often be limited within SMBs.

It's noon on a recent Friday, and the man known to a couple of million people as Kc James is adjusting his blond wig.
For the next few seconds the Dana Point native is not the college dropout, not the ex-basketball player, not the lanky guy who always needs a shave — he's Bridget, a video star in his own hit comedy series.
The setup is simple. James, his roommate and a cameraman set up his James' Hollywood apartment — an apartment that Bridget pays for.
As filming starts Bridget points to a plastic snake she's wearing around her neck and, in spot on Valley Girl voice, says:
"This scarf is so slimy."
Brie, played by James' roommate, Brendon McNerney, in response yells:
"That's a cobra!"
OK, maybe it's funnier if you see it on Vine.
Still, making "Brie and Bridget," and other short stories for the microvideo app Vine, is, for Kc James – a.k.a. Casey James — big stuff. In just nine months James has turned his penchant for making the shortest of short films from a curiosity to a hobby to an obsession…
And, maybe, into a career.
• • •
James first downloaded Vine in February. He was at a Ducks game. The app was a month old.
At the time, James was one of the few to see Vine. Now, the app – connected to Twitter – has an estimated 40 million users.
There weren't (and aren't) a lot of rules for Vine. But, over the year, Vine has become known for two things — low-brow comedy and brevity. The longest Vine (as the minimovies are called) is six seconds.
Lowbrow comedy? Short attention span? A phone app?

Hello everyone,
I was a regular poster (and a former CL) on this board up until about a year ago, but life overwhelmed me and I haven't been around for awhile. Life has finally started to calm down a little, and I've found myself missing this board. I've been browsing and I see a few familiar faces along with lots of new names. I'm really looking forward to catching up with old friends and getting to know new ones.
Here is a little information about me:
I'm 28 years old. My partner, Jamie, is 25. We have been living together for about 2.5 years, and we have a townhouse in Atlanta where we live with our two furbabies. Winston and Delilah are both rat terriers, and we treat them like our children since we don't have any of our own yet. I am a professional nanny. I have been working as a nanny for about 7 years. I put myself through college as a nanny and loved it so much that I kept doing it after I graduated. Currently I work for a family with one little girl. Sara is 15 months. And they are expecting a new baby (gender unknown) in 3-4 weeks. Jamie is a paralegal, but she also takes college classes part time, working on a BA in History/Education. She wants to be a high school history teacher, but eventually would like to get her Masters and PhD so that she can be a college professor.
We both want children very much, but we aren't quite ready for them. Ideally we'd like Jamie to be out of school first, and we'd like to build up a stronger savings. We are very interested in adopting a child from the foster care system. But I have a strong desire to experience pregnancy, so we are still considering that option as well. We have plenty of time to discuss and debate while we are WTT over the next 3-4 years.(If we can wait that long -- we both have our weak moments when we talk about speeding up our timetable significantly.) In the meantime, I'll put all my mothering energy into Sara and her new sibling.

Hi Annie!!!
It is so great to see you back here:) I was wondering what you were up to and if everything was ok. I am glad that you have a new family where you can put your loving energy towards as a nanny. I really am in awe that you can do it because I find it very hard to be around young children when I know I still have to wait.
I'm Ashley 23 as you know, and Thomas 27 and I got married here in Germany this past December and are having a MN wedding this June. We are waiting to try until around our 1 year anniversary this fall or winter. I would love to start a little sooner but Thomas still isn't sure he will be ready so we'll see. I am excited either way because it will definitely be happening in 2010 at the latest.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts again:)

Welcome back Annie! I also remember you and it's nice to see a familiar face (screen name?) again.
I mostly hang out in the grad section and have been TTC for over 8 months now. My DH had a poor semen analysis results and while we are still getting some testing done to get more info, I'm also thinking of other options like you for people who can't get pg the usual way.
|Sun, 02-22-2009 - 7:44pm
Thanks for the warm welcome back, everyone!
Ashley -- I want to hear about your wedding! Tell me about it or point me to an older thread about it, I'm so excited for you. I can't believe your wait is down to a year or so. I know that still seems like forever (I can totally relate!) but I remember when you first started posting and your wait was many years away!
Adrienne -- of course, I remember you. Sorry to hear that the TTC is going slowly. I'll be sending lots of positive thoughts your way. I'm loving my job. I actually just started a couple of weeks ago. The family that I used to work for when I posted here (remember little Henry?) moved out of state and now has infant twins as well as Henry, who is two! I'm thrilled for them, but so sad they had to leave. But I guess it works out for the best, because I really love the new family I've just started with, and I think I'll be with them a long, long time.
Sarah -- Desmond is so big! It's amazing how time flies when you are away from the board. Congrats on the new little one -- I can't wait to meet him or her!
Missy -- Sorry to hear about the poor results. Anytime you want to talk adoption or assisted reproduction or donor sperm or anything like that, don't hesitate to email me. I'm a great listener, and I've done tons and tons of research since it's been a good way to pass the time while we wait.
|Sun, 02-22-2009 - 10:50pm
Yeah it is amazing how big he is now. I was actually thinking about you the other day, just thinking I hadn't seen you here or on the Baby Name boards recently.
As for bean, according the ultrasound tech she is a girl, Hazel Mira we think, now if she would stop faking me out with these continuous contractions and either get serious about them or let up for a week or two, I would be happy. I am hoping she does wait a few more days though since Desmond is sick right now, so I don't really want to deal with a newborn and sick toddler.
|Mon, 02-23-2009 - 4:31am
Yeah it is pretty funny that my timeline was dramatically shortened. I think that at first Thomas just wasn't ready and couldn't picture getting married or having kids until his thirties but we talked a lot about marriage and what would change- basically nothing, and then after a few months and me accepting that we wouldn't get engaged until 2009 and married until 2010 he had a complete turnaround and gave me an amazing proposal on our 3 year anniversary in July (well we first we had a discussion and agreed to get married and then a few weeks later he gave me an amazing proposal on the rooftop of a building- and the best part was that it was a complete surprise!).
So then we had our registry office wedding here in Germany in Dec which is the only one considered legal here and now we will have a "big" (50 people LOL) wedding in MN which will technically be just for show since we are already married but it will be my first time in the floor length white dress, with dancing, etc. on June 20th. I would love to start trying right after but Thomas is still really wanting to be 30 when the baby is born which would mean waiting until around June 2010. I REALLY don't want to wait that long and am hoping that something similar happens like getting married in terms of him quickly changing how he feels and come fall/winter- when I told him I would like to start trying that he is ready.
Here is a link to pictures from the registry wedding.
I am glad you like your new family! I can't believe your old family now has twins with a two year old, this sounds horrible but that would be like a nightmare for me:D
|Mon, 02-23-2009 - 10:26am
Oh, Hazel Mira -- that's gorgeous!
In between my last long-term nanny position and this current one, I had a six-month position with a family who had three kids and one on the way when I started. Mom was on bedrest and she and I had a lot of time to chat about names. Their older children were Violet, Asher, and Levi, and my first suggestion was Hazel. Her jaw dropped because that was their top pick and no one else ever suggested it and they'd gotten a lot of negative feedback. I also suggested Miriam nn Mira, so obviously I love both of those choices. (And ultimately, they did go with Hazel, and wound up getting tons of GREAT feedback once she was born. People were always really surprised and said they didn't know anyone under the age of 70 named Hazel, but then said they thought it was lovely and unexpected.)
I can't wait to meet her -- and here's hoping she stays put a few more days so Desmond can get over his cold!

A back-to-basics riding short, Dakine's Pace Shorts pack in all the comfort and performance of shorts that cost three times as much. Dakine built the shorts with a tough polyester and spandex fabric. Since nylon is already abrasion-resistant, Dakine was able to use a light 145-gram weave.
Reinforced stitching throughout key areas of stress ensure long wear, and a four-way stretch back panel and gusseted crotch add durability — as well as an unlimited range of motion. The Pace shorts come with front pockets to take care of valuables.
The Dakine Pace Shorts come in even sizes 30 to 40 and are available in Red, Blue, Camo, or Black.

Website description says it has a 14 inch inseam. I was do disappointed to get it and realize it only has a 12 inch inseam.
Other than that, the product has great quality.
Had to return it though because it was too short for my liking. Good thing, Backcountry has the best customer service. I was able to ship the item back at no cost.

I've been rocking the Pace shorts for the past couple years because of their breathability & stretchtasticness. They end up serving as my go-to hiking/trail running/workout shorts due to their light weight and range of motion. I really dig them while on the bike because they won't get caught on anything...but this does come with a compromise: the inseam is short enough (14") that my knees are exposed..so if you aren't confident enough to show your patellas off, you may prefer the 8Track or Descent shorts ;)
The lightweight material is also very quick to dry...bonus.

Edge: CG.
French fries/onion rings. "We don't sell fast food, we sell damn good food as fast as possible" is one of DGB's mottoes. The curly fries ($2.50), however, are pure fast food — frozen, preseasoned, and lacking any potato flavor. On the plus side, the fries are crisp and don't taste bad. Onion rings ($2.99) are a bit greasy but otherwise OK.
Bags of fresh Two Good Potatoes line one of the walls at CG, and they are turned into some of the best fries in the city ($2.75). Onion rings are similar to DGB's ($3.75; a larger portion than at DGB).

Edge: CG. Big advantage for the fries; onion rings are a draw.
Shakes. The chocolate shakes at both spots are thick and enjoyable. DGB's is $4.25; CG's is $4.50 (with an option of a malted shake for 50 cents more).
Edge: It's a draw. And BTW, neither shake compares to Shake Shack's.
Conclusion: I like both restaurants. DGB's burger is tasty, and the place is A-OK for hanging out and having a fun, affordable lunch — or spending happy hour after work. The bar scene is what distinguishes this DGB from many other burger places in town. CG will probably prove more appealing to burger purists, partly because there are many more choices and options of high-grade beef, and also because having great fries is incumbent to achieving an ideal burger combo.

text: Ferrari offer Newey €20-million per year 28 May, 2014 Adrian Newey in high demand by Ferrari Ferrari has not given up on luring design guru Adrian Newey to Maranello, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, whose correspondent Luigi Perna outlined the latest plan to sign Red Bull's highly-coveted technical boss. In Monaco, Red Bull rejected the speculation about Newey by insisting that the 55-year-old remains committed for "the foreseeable future". But that may have been before Ferrari's latest audacious offer to the Briton. Perna said Ferrari is offering Newey unprecedented technical freedom, and also his own road-going supercar project and involvement in a possible Le Mans prototype bid. Not to mention annual pay of about €20 million, "If the odds at first were zero, now the odds are 20-30 per cent. It all depends on Newey." Sebastian Vettel with Adrian Newey It has also been claimed that signing Newey might convince Red Bull's quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel to join him at Maranello. But German Vettel said on Tuesday: "I feel very good about where I am and have so much to thank my team for. "You don't just throw in the towel and look for something else after six bad races," he insisted. Curiously, Vettel was at the wheel of Gerhard Berger's 1988 Ferrari on Tuesday for a promotional event at the forthcoming Austrian Grand Prix venue. He got out of the car and said "Incredibile!" Red Bull's Helmut Marko grinned to reporters: "You can let our friends know quietly in Maranello that Sebastian even drives his Ferraris with us."

For both students and people in work, the option for taking a gap year is proving to be a very popular life choice. Making the decision to take a gap year and following it through can be difficult to achieve. For a student taking a gap year before or after taking a university degree, a gap year can have a huge positive effect in terms of boosting confidence, increasing maturity, developing social skills, gaining experience and knowledge of different cultures, helping the environment and feeling independent by taking the opportunity of working in a different country.
While majority of students leave with large debts and others with small debts, the amount of debt acquired will depend on how well you have managed your expenses when you're still studying. If you don't want to pay for a huge debt and save money while you are a student, you should know how to manage finance is important. Through financial management, you will not just be able to save money from paying large debt, but also you will reduce your expenses and avoid running out of budget while you are still studying.
Managing your finance is very important especially for those who don't have enough money to pay for their studies. Although students find this task as a hard thing to do, it is wise to understand the basics of financial management as this can also offer you a better future. For you to be successful in financial planning, here are some of the things you should take note:
In terms of personal finance problems, there are tons of college students who depend on some family members or parents to help while others spend student loans up right away. One of the perks you can enjoy from managing finance is that you will be able to save and manage money wisely. With this, you will be able to have extra money, which you can use for important purposes like projects.
There are other things you can experience once you have learned how to manage your finances. If you want to be successful in the future, this can be your stepping stone. Although financial management is not an easy thing to do, this can be practiced daily. Financial management is a step by step process. This can't be done overnight especially if you don't mind spending money because you know that you can pay your debts after having a job. If you find it hard to manage your finance, asking for some tips from your friends or anyone you know can be also helpful.
Air travel is a fact of modern life, something that even the youngest child now takes for granted. If you want to get from point A to point B, flying is generally the quickest option – sometimes the only option, especially if it involves overseas travel – and with prices at an all time low, anyone and everyone can fly nowadays.
This ability to jet off to all corners of the globe is one that has allowed people greater travel freedoms than they have ever had before, but for some, this freedom comes with a price tag attached. Not everyone is a good flyer, and certainly, not everyone actually enjoys flying.
For instance, whilst statistics compiled by the US Department of Transport suggest that flying is 29 times safer than traveling in an automobile, many people are simply terrified of getting on a plane.
If you are scared of flying…
There are many thousands of people all over the world who are terrified of flying. And whilst some are scared because of a previous bad experience, probably the majority of Pteromerhanophobia sufferers have had no previous adverse flying experience at all. They are just scared of flying, it is as simple as that.
However, if you are to have any chance of dealing with the problem, you have to be able to answer the question of why people are frightened of flying in the first place.
For some people, it will undoubtedly have something to do with the fact that almost all major catastrophes that involve aircraft are widely reported in the newspapers and on TV.
Thus, many people get on a planes focusing on the fact that planes crash because that is all they ever read in the newspaper or see on TV. But the fact is that for every plane that crashes, there are millions – literally, millions – of flights that begin and end with no drama whatsoever, no more exciting or scary than a bus ride down town or a quick two stops on the subway.
The first thing to understand is what the fear of flying really is, because if you know that there is an far higher chance of getting killed in a car crash than there is on a plane, your fear cannot be based on the fact that a plane is transportation in the same way that a car or bus is.
Some people will suggest that they are scared of flying because the idea of sitting in a metal tube at 35,000 feet above the earth is so unnatural, but that does not make a great deal of sense either. Driving around in your car is no more natural than flying and very few people are scared of being in a car. This is not therefore particularly convincing argument either.
What makes a plane different to a car is that in a car, you retain a degree of control (even if we are not driving) and you are on the ground. Once you are in a plane and they shut the doors, that's it, you're trapped and you suddenly feel very vulnerable and threatened. You have no control, because your fate is now 100% in the hands of the crew, and you've never even met them!
You are more aware than at perhaps any other time that you are vulnerable and that life is fragile and that whilst moving around on the ground is perfectly normal, flying through the air is not.
In essence, a fear of flying is a type of anxiety disorder, a specific phobia or fear that cannot necessarily be easily overcome by trying not to think about it. As an anxiety, you are scared of the unknown, worrying about what might happen rather than something that will happen or what is happening right at this moment.
For most people, fear of flying is a combination of many factors or fears that they have. For instance, many people are scared of heights, whereas others feel uncomfortable in crowded places or in an enclosed space.
So, how do you overcome this fear?
Research into the thought processes of people who are afraid of flying has indicated that there are four different types of thinking associated with fear.
People who fear flying:
Can usually think of nothing other than flying and how unpleasant it is both before and during the flight;
Usually indulge in self blame, thinking about all the mistakes they have made;
Often resign themselves to their fate, simply accepting that they have to be scared and that they can change nothing;
Will catastrophize, that is, they think of all the terrible things that could happen.
Taken together, what this means is that if you fear flying, you'll probably spend a great deal of time thinking about it and worrying about it beforehand. Furthermore, once you are on the plane and your flight begins, you're going to focus on the unpleasant physical and psychological effects that you feel, making the whole of your journey a time of misery.
From here, you have to start applying a little logical, adult thought to the four psychological factors were looking at earlier.
For a start, there is no point in worrying about flying for days or weeks in advance. It is either going to happen and you have to do it or you cancel your flight and don't go where you were planning to go. Take a deep breath, stand back from the situation and forget about it. It is it going to happen or it is not and thinking about it is not going to change anything.
For example, you may be worrying about completely the wrong thing, because before you ever get on the plane, there's far more chance that you will be involved in a car accident that will prevent you going on your trip in any event. Of course, this is morbid thinking but it serves to illustrate the point that there really is no sense in worrying about something that might never happen.
When you are on the plane, cruising at 30,000 feet, it is a fact that there is absolutely nothing you can do to change your situation. So, make sure that you get a window seat, and be amazed at the view (assuming that are not flying at night). Your grandparents (or perhaps your great-grandparents) never, ever got to see such an unbelievable panoramic vista of the world, they never got to see such incredible beauty, so be grateful instead of being scared.
In this way, you teach yourself that instead of being afraid of flying, you should be in awe of or rapt by the wonder of modern day, super-safe flying.
Don't dwell on your mistakes. You are going to get a chance to make good on your errors at a later date because that later date will inevitably come. And you should also remember that none of us is perfect and everyone makes mistakes from time to time because making mistakes is an inevitable feature of the human condition.
Understand that whilst you are 100% in the care of someone else, they are the most capable people imaginable for the job that they are doing. And despite this fact, you are not completely helpless. You can deal with the psychological and physical side-effects of fear of flying by learning and practicing deep breathing exercises, progressive relaxation and so on.
Discipline yourself to do these things whenever the fear of flying starts to set in again by making sure that these skills or abilities become a part of your regular flying routine.
As for thinking about all of the things that could go wrong, you have to be realistic and grown up about the situation. For instance, whilst you might allow yourself to think dark thoughts before getting on the plane, once you are on-board, you should see view the whole thing as a challenge, a fight from which you are not going to run away.
Accept that whilst there are a multitude of bad things that could happen, the chances of any of these things happening are absolutely minutely tiny, so what is the point of worrying about something that is almost certainly never going to happen?
Teach yourself these thought patterns and it will help to banish all of the negative thoughts that between them make up the fear of flying.
Try to control your emotions…
There are many ways of learning to control your emotions, but two particular methods of emotional control that work extremely well for many people are deep breathing and progressive relaxation.
Learning to breathe deeply the easy way
You may have heard of the famous Russian physicist Ivan Pavlov and his experiment with dogs where he proved that reflex actions were not necessarily uncontrollable. This is an idea that can be applied to your thoughts as well by associating them with deep breathing so that breathing deeply becomes a conditioned reflex that is triggered every time your fear of flying kicks in.
When Pavlov carry out his experiment, the concept was that he rang a bell before giving his dogs food. After doing this for some considerable time, he discovered that as soon as he rang the bell, the dogs began to salivate and their digestive processes kicked in. In effect, the experiment carried out by Pavlov proved that involuntary reflexes could be triggered on demand as a result of conditioning and training. There is no reason why the same thinking cannot be applied to people and your fear of flying.
You can read about this particular deep breathing training training in detail here but in a nutshell, the idea is that you train yourself so that as soon as your fear of flying starts, you have already conditioned yourself to start breathing slowly and deeply as a natural reflex reaction.
In essence therefore, by adopting this particular deep breathing training technique, you ensure that you start taking counter-action as soon as your fear starts to take over and, more importantly, you do so immediately and automatically.
This is obviously not something that you can train yourself to do immediately but with a little time plus a reasonable degree of concentration and effort, you should be able to master this technique in a matter of a few weeks. And once you have done so, you have acquired a perfect way of dealing with your fear of flying any time it seems as if it is likely to hit you.
The beauty of this approach is that once you train your reflexes, you remove the requirement for conscious thoughts that tell you when to start breathing deeply. This is very important because you already know that your fear of flying is anything but rational, so having to use conscious thinking to remind yourself to stop breathing deeply might be a little difficult.
When you are suffering fear induced anxiety or panic attacks, the last thing you have is the capability for rational conscious thought so conditioning your reflexes to act automatically in this way is extremely effective.
Progressive relaxation is a technique for stress management that was developed by Edmund Jacobson in the 1920's. Jacobson argued that since anxiety was often accompanied by tense muscles, it could be reduced or removed by learning how to relax.
The basic idea of progressive relaxation is that you learn to tense and then relax muscles throughout your body and that by doing this, you also learn how tensed and relax muscles feel. This is a very simple technique for relaxing yourself, takes around five minutes and can be done anywhere, any time. As suggested, relaxing means that you reduce anxiety and tension in your body, which means that by adopting this relaxation strategy, you automatically lessen your fear of flying.
If you intend to broaden your horizons by visiting countries perhaps less fortunate than yourself, it is very important to make sure you are at your best health-wise before leaving.
One of the easiest and best ways of giving your body a healthy reboot is to start juicing. I have be drinking home-made juices 3 times a day for the last 4 weeks and I have noticed definite changes in myself.
Not only have I lost weight, but my skin and hair have a healthy glow to them. This is a health regime that can be done at home with only needing to purchase a juicer.
The juicer I use is one by Jay Kordich, and I love this one because of the added bonus of being able to "juice" nuts to make your own milk.

Big changes and a small price tag. Tapulous have submitted and are awaiting approval of their latest instalment of the highly popular Tap Tap Revenge game, according to Business Insider. A myriad of new features include in-app purchasing of avatars and music, a new feature of 3.0, allowing users to download two tracks for $0.99 or six tracks for $2.99.
Tap Tap Revenge 3 is due to be live on the App Store "sometime next month" at the price tag of $0.99 (£0.59). The price tag was unavoidable with in-app purchasing, which Apple requires all developers to price the application itself also. Expect to hear more in the next coming weeks, and as always, we'll have a review up within days of its release.Posted in: Blog, Upcoming

A Poem!
Linda and Lanie
By: A Pathetic Fuck
It was late Friday night and my cellphone did ring
It was Lanie and Linda ready to do their thing
They we nice and sweet unlike their typical calls
But before I knew it they had me by the balls
I had talked to a Goddess called Lanie on Niteflirt the previous day
I got caught in a lie and Linda is going to make me pay
I have no choice but to pay $500 at the end of each week
I at least hope they will let me lick between their tight cheeks
Linda told Lanie to go on Niteflirt and raise the rate
She said Jim must pay a lot if he wants to masterbate
They threatened to tell Ashley all my dirty things
Near the end of the call Linda said ch-ching
Lanie made me say I am sucker for her pucker
Linda just called me a pathetic and dumb fucker
My cock is really bent now, jerking so much is taking its toll
All I think about is pretty girls juices that leak from their holes
Summer is coming and the girls will soon start to sweat
I am sure I will keep staring and stroking that's a for sure bet
To pay $500 a week is sure a lot of dough
I at least hope the Goddess's will let my cock blow
Linda has a great voice and Lanie has that sexy little laugh
I hope one or both of them will let me lick their tight ass
I have a day and a half left to play with Ashleys gym bag
I will jerk of so much my cock will be sore and my balls will sag
Linda and Lanie must think I am real dumb
But I will do what they say just for a lick of a tight bum.

Goddess Lanie
Time to come out and play!!
You have had a hard day, haven't you? I just couldn't imagine getting up every morning knowing that I had to do something that I hated…
You must hate putting on those ugly pants and boring tshirts or a suit–when I know and you know you dont want to do that. You dont want to be a man today. You want to pull the hidden panties and the sexy lingerie. The stockings and the heels. You want to lay in your bed with your legs open and rub that little clitty…that you attempted to fuck your wife or girlfriend with yesterday…It just killed you to have to play that man part..didnt it?
Lets not try to fool people anymore and lets play…Can you step out of the closet for a few?
Call me!
Goddess Lanie
The Definition Of…YOU
It is Sunday evening and I am alone and thinking about the one that craves a sweet yet feisty Goddess. One that craves humiliation, complete cock control, to be put in his place and kept there. You crave all of this for one reason. You crave this because you are lacking the control that a TRUE GODDESS can have over you.
Is that you?
I want you to give in, know that you are for MY use. For MY pleasure. Your goal is to make sure that I am happy at all times. To worship me, adore me, admire me, obey me and CUM ONLY FOR ME!
Goddess Lanie

Dangerous and life-threatening cold will arrive in Kansas City late Sunday night.
"It's very serious," said KMBC 9 meteorologist Bryan Busby. "(We're expecting) 25 to 30 below zero wind chills."
Watch Bryan's forecast here | Radar | Closings and cancellations
The National Weather Service said a wind chill warning would be in effect from Sunday night to Monday morning.
"Overnight, we're going to go for 10 below (zero)," Busby said. "With windchills at 25 below zero, that's dangerous."
Busby said the coldest conditions would arrive at about sunrise. He said temperatures wouldn't top zero until Monday afternoon.
Temperatures were expected to make a slow climb throughout the week, with the thermometer rising above freezing in time for next weekend.

Liberace's former lover Scott Thorson was arrested after testing positive for meth, TMZ.com reports.
Thorson...read more
It all started, oddly enough, on the set of director Steven Soderbergh's gritty, Oscar-winning 2000 drama Traffic. "Steven said to me, 'You ever think of playing Liberace?'" remembers Michael Douglas of the first time he was approached to portray the ultra-effeminate yet closeted pianist who was the world's highest-paid entertainer for decades. "And I thought, 'This guy's f---ing with me. I'm playing the drug czar! Is this some kind of director's trick?'"
The ladies ask Scott Thorson "Why should we believe you?"
Scott Thorson discusses his relationship with Liberace and his affair with Michael Jackson.
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan talks about life following his darkest period ever, and Scott Thorson recalls his 'one-sided' relationship with Liberace. Plus, dancer Cris Judd talks about life with his ex-wife, superstar Jennifer Lopez, and comedian Carrot Top takes us inside his Zen retreat outside Las Vegas.
The relationship between the flamboyant pianist Liberace and his young lover Scott Thorson dazzled at the Cannes film festival on Tuesday (May 21) and threw gay rights into the spotlight at the movie industry's largest annual gathering. Director Steven Soderbergh said he struggled five years ago to secure funding for 'Behind the Candelabra' because some financiers thought the film would only appeal to a gay audience and, at a cost of $25 million, would be a financial risk.

Outside counsel fees help push NH litigation tab over $2.3m
And next year is likely to bring more of the same, according to Associate Attorney General Ann Rice, who told the governor and Executive Council recently, "I anticipate that those kinds of costs are going to continue for a while."
When the requests for more money come in, the Joint Fiscal Committee at the State House has to find it in underspent accounts or unexpected revenue, subject to final approval by the Executive Council.
"Historically, litigation expense has been budgeted at about $350,000 a year, and we've had to come back and request more, depending on what our expenses are," Rice told the governor and council in June. "This is an extraordinary year in terms of expense, but we will exceed the $350,000 even in normal years."
The $2.3 million appropriated in 2013 far exceeds the $710,000 spent on litigation in 2012 and was mostly for outside counsel. The Department of Justice has 53 staff attorneys and a budget of $27.6 million.
While the tobacco case is winding down, other cases are just starting to heat up. Executive Councilor Chris Sununu, R-Newfields, recently expressed his concern over a lawsuit filed by TLT Construction Corp. of Wakefield, Mass., has already cost the state $106,569 for outside counsel, second highest on the list for 2013.
"This is in my mind a ticking time bomb for a large amount of money," Sununu told Rice at the June meeting. In a subsequent interview, he expressed his fear that if the state doesn't resolve the lawsuit and resume the project, it will lose the federal funding.
Sometimes the DOJ has no choice but to go outside for the necessary expertise, but many of the cases now farmed out could be handled internally with more attorneys, Foster said.
He pointed out that the typical hourly rate for outside counsel is $250 to $275 an hour. At that rate, it only takes 1,000 hours to generate $275,000 in billings. The department's attorneys make between $63,180 and $83,382 a year in base pay, according to the state's "Transparent NH" website. With benefits, their annual compensation package averages $100,000.
"I plan to bring those sorts of thoughts to the Legislature for the next biennium and have them think about it," Foster said. "I think if we had the bodies, we could do a lot of the work in-house."
Executive Councilor Chris Pappas, D-Manchester, thinks the argument has some merit.
"It's almost like that issue that came up two weeks ago with a consultant the Department of Education was looking to hire," Pappas said. "There's something to be said for having state employees on the job to do the work as opposed to contacting things out in ways that become more expensive."
