Clean, well-connected with the metro and buses, equipped with everything (except for cloth / mats for the table). supermarket right across the street and several very nice pubs nearby. The only flaw: The white curtains did not act as "dark" and therefore light passes in the morning to prevent sleep peacefully. For the rest really good as apartment, good quality / price ratio.
Pulito, ben collegato con la metropolitana e gli autobus, fornito di tutto (tranne che di tovaglia/ tovagliette americane per la tavola). supermercato giusto dall'altro lato della strada e svariati pub molto carini nelle vicinanze. Unica pecca: Le tende bianche non fungono da "scuri" e di conseguenza la luce passa al mattino impedendo di dormire tranquillamente. Per il resto veramente ottimo come appartamento, buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.
Rien à redire, tout s'est parfaitement déroulé. L'appartement était agréable et bien situé. Nous conseillons sans aucune hésitation.
Assolutamente perfetto, persino meglio delle mie aspettative. Ci ritornerò sicuramente, massima serietà e puntualità. Casa in ottime condizioni. Grazie
Wasn't the same apartment illustrated in the insertion, but similar for the quality of furnishings. Also wasn't in the position marked on the map of the insertion, but much more far by the metro station and this thing was disappointing. Mainly was at least in a good contest and quiet. Check-IN before the 15.00 because the keys were disponible and registered fast. I recommend Katarina apartments, remember to ask if the position is the same as the insertion.
Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer modernen, gesicherten Appartment Anlage, ca. 10 - 15 Gehminuten von der Tower Bridge und Underground/Bus. Die Einrichtung ist modern, die Betten gut. Warmwasser ist nur begrenzt verfügbar, also schnell duschen, Pause, dann kann der Nächste duschen. Entsetzt waren wir darüber, dass keine Gabeln, Löffel,Tassen, Teller vorhanden waren. Diese fanden wir allerdings nach 2 Tagen im gut versteckten Geschirrspüler. Auch Salz, Pfeffer, Zucker usw. nicht vorhanden, so dass man auch bei einem Kurzaufenthalt gezwungen ist eine gewisse Grundausstattung erstmal einzukaufen. Der Reinigungszustand war nicht zufriedenstellend. Haare und Flusen in den Bädern, Fußboden nur grob gewischt, Fenster : -(, >>>Geschirrspüler nicht ausgeräumt<<<.
Vi er totalt sett godt fornøyd med oppholdet i London. Leiligheten hadde en flott beliggenhet sentralt i byen. Det var ryddig både i leiligheten og i gangen/utenfor huset. Det var ikke helt rent inne i leiligheten. Bl.a. på kjøkkeninnredning, skaphåndtak og rundt dusjen på det ene badet var det veldig skittent. Sluket i den ene dusjen var så og si tett.
Fredag kveld da vi ankom London fikk vi misvisende forklaring på hvor vi skulle hente nøkkel da vi henvendte oss til vår vert. Vi kjørte taxi for 50 pund pga feilinformasjon. Dette var kjedelig, dyrt og tok lang tid.
Total sett er vi imidlertid veldig godt fornøyd. Det er deilig å ha en leilighet å oppholde seg i.Matbutikk fantes rett over gaten, og alt av utstyr var i leiligheten.
We were 5 people who shared an apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, living / dining area.
Generally speaking, we are pleased with the help we got from the agency, but you promised us a spare key when we were 2 couples who needed to be able to come and go.
The we never got, which was really annoying.
There was no bedding for the 5 man, we got it on the second day, which was ok.
Suddenly ran flat out of wi-fi, we called the office and it came back the next day.
The apartment corresponded to the description, the standard fine, everything appeared new and almost unused.
Vi var 5 personer der delte en lejlighed med 2 soveværelse, samt 2 badeværelser, stue/alrum.
Generelt set, er vi tilfredse med hjælpen vi fik fra bureauet, men man lovede os en ekstra nøgle,da vi var 2 par, som havde brug for at kunne komme og gå.
Den fik vi aldrig, hvilket var rigtigt ærgerligt.
Der manglede sengetøj til den 5 mand, det fik vi på anden dagen, hvilket var ok.
Pludselig løb lejligheden tør for wi-fi,vi ringede til bureauet og det kom igen næste dag.
Lejligheden svarede til beskrivelsen, standarden fin, alt fremstod nyt og næsten ubrugt.
WE were very pleased with the apartment, you could see that we were the first guests, but all the machines worked and the bathrooms were ok too. there were some stains on the carpet.
It was a small problem, it was not easy to find the office with the keys
VI var godt tilfreds med lejligheden , man kunne godt se at vi ikke var de første gæster, men alle maskiner virkede og bade værelserne var også ok. der var en del pletter på gulvtæppet .
Det var et lille problem, det var ikke helt nemt at finde kontoret med nøglerne
It was a super nice apartment in a great location. It is a super place to have children, the space was for a family with 2 children and 2 adults could be there without feeling it cramped. The setup of the apartment when we arrived was not finished and it was actually the only problem during our stay. the apartment is very central to London Bridge.

Det var en super dejlig lejlighed med god beliggenhed. Det er et super sted at have børn med,pladsen var til en familie med 2 børn og 2 voksne kunne være der uden at føle det trangt. Klargøringen af lejligheden da vi ankom var dog ikke færdig og det var faktisk det eneste problem under vores ophold. lejligheden er meget central til London Bridge.

.- Many prominent Catholics--particularly in Italy--are mourning the death today of Archbishop Pasquale Macchi, prelate emeritus of Loretto, Italy and former personal secretary to Pope Paul VI.
Pope Benedict XVI sent his own personal letter of condolence to Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, who is Archbishop of Milan, recalling the 82-year old prelate who died yesterday.
In his letter, the Holy Father praised "the profound spirituality and generous episcopal commitment that characterized the ministry of the lamented prelate," and asked the Lord "to welcome him in eternal joy as a good and faithful servant, rewarding his constant dedication to spreading the Gospel and his devotion to the Most Holy Virgin Mary."
The Vatican announced today that Cardinal Tettamanzi will preside at Archbishop Macchi's funeral, which is scheduled to be held in the Duomo of Milan on Saturday April 8.
Cardinal Attilio Nicora, president of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See will attend the funeral in place of the Holy Father.

In December 2010, Sarah Lawrence College marked ten years of its study abroad program in Cuba, celebrating its status as one of the first U.S. college programs—and the longest continuous program—established at the University of Havana since the break in diplomatic ties between the two countries in the early 1960s.
Sarah Lawrence has increased its involvement with the University's Centro de Estudios Demográficos (CEDEM), a research arm of the institution responsible for the design of a core seminar course in the program that examines gender, health, education and sustainable development throughout Cuban society.
While the University of Havana is the College's overarching partner, SLC's offerings have broadened over the ten years of affiliation and now include course work in the humanities, literature and social sciences at the University, as well as film history at the Fundación del Nuevo Cine Lantinoamericano, and the performing and visual arts at the Instituto Superior de Artes (ISA).
Sarah Lawrence students are fully integrated into the university, take all courses in Spanish, follow the same curriculum and are subject to the same standards and requirements as Cuban students.
At the anniversary celebrations, attended by President Lawrence, College Trustee Joan Countryman, and Vice President Thomas Blum, SLC history faculty member Matilde Zimmermann was honored with the 280th Anniversary of the University of Havana Medal, awarded by the Rector of the University, in recognition of her outstanding scholarship and contributions to academic exchange.
Zimmermann has served as academic liaison to the university for the last eight years as well as providing guidance to the undergraduates who have spend a semester in Havana. Since the program's inception 120 students have studied in Cuba through the Sarah Lawrence program.
"For many students this has been a life-changing experience—and they bring back their academic knowledge as well as cultural information to Sarah Lawrence and the graduate schools they go on to attend," she said.
A member of the Sarah Lawrence faculty since 2002, Zimmermann has studied, taught, and written extensively about the Cuban and Nicaraguan revolutions, labor and social movements, and the African diaspora in the Caribbean and Latin America, among other scholarly endeavors.

A "quick" ten miles before breakfast and work turned into a slogfest when the skys opened up at the halfway point, the bike-lane, turned into a river, in places, water was 1" deep all across the road....the Orange/Red Blob in St Pete IS my 10 mile circuit! Some cleaning and lubing is in order....my poor Bridgestone!!
Out to Pierce Point in the Point Reyes National Seashore. A real variety of weather, 83 degrees when I left home in Lagunitas, 60 degrees, foggy, and windy on the point. That's the usual Summer pattern around here. Our best beach days are Fall and Spring.

Wow, great pictures guys!
Nice pics, all. (Aiden, it isn't raining. What happened? )
We did 49.3mi on the tandem today, Bedford past Littleton, almost to Ayer, to check out a route we're taking some folks on for a mini-tour later this summer. Since we'll all be carrying loads I wanted to find some route options which avoided a few really steep hills. I think we found the key...
A GPS/map check in Harwood, technically part of Littleton, I believe. We've been here before. Some of today's roads were new to us.
Okay, so it isn't scenic. It's best I've got. So shoot me. No wait, Sharon already did. This is what came of it.
It was tough today, started out with medium heat but extreme humidity. I hit a wall at only 10 miles. We stopped and I ate a power bar and drank a lot of water. Then we stopped for lunch at a little pond in Chelmsford. After that it was much better.
Real cyclists use toe clips.
With great bikes comes great responsibility.
My friend dropped off the cat this morning so I took it for a spin down to the co-op and installed some fresh tyres and new brake levers with locks for parking... will wait until it cools off to do any more riding today.
This evening at Larrabee State Park.
Um...I beg to differ.
Lampy... always such beautiful pictures and such a beautiful place.
I went out for a short ride tonight and stopped at the Italian deli to get ingredients for Greek salad and met some old friends at Spinellis and enjoyed catching up with them and the best Americano in the city... also got to play with my buddy Rusty who is my friends massive puppy.
When I got home my puppy had to go for a ride... she's 10 now and has loved bicycles since she was a puppy and was pretty happy to jump my lap and enjoy the breeze while we went up and down the block. She did not want to get off when I stopped.
I rode up to Stampede Pass from my home in North Bend.
The Singer was great for this route
Lunch by the Lake
Before the final climb up to Stampede Pass
I returned via the same route
Refilling the waterbottles at Hyak
And through the tunnel one more time
2 miles later I am back in Western Washington
Double flatted on the way down from the tunnel. Oh well, sometimes these things happen.
Really nice, EBH!
Really nice, Northbend!
Thanks Sixty. And I think you have the perfect bike there for puppy carrying. Much harder to do on an upright machine!
Beautiful shots, EBH. I really like the photo of the river. Just another place I need to visit!
Also nice shots, northbend. (And wow, nice bike!) I had to look up Stampede Pass on Google Maps, and it looks like there are tons of forest/logging roads in that area. I'd love to ride on those! There are a few up here in my neck of the woods too, but I'm not even close to being fit enough to ride all the way to them, let alone climb them! Maybe some day.
Okay, you guys win. Norway and Washington are the places to ride. Beautiful pics. So can we get on with the rest of life now?
After yesterday's humidity-fest we did a recovery ride of only 25.5 miles. No scenic pics today, just these humble offerings.
Taking the bike out of the car. My sweetie likes these action shots. (Shield your eyes from the reflection.)
Looking for a parking space at a favorite lunch spot. (So many wheels, so little steel.)
The perfect lunch:
The high clouds gave us a rainbow though there wasn't a raindrop to be found anywhere:
On the way back to the car we stopped for a rest in Concord and spoke to a fellow riding a Co-Motion touring bike. He said it weighed 30lbs unloaded. When I questioned it he said go ahead and lift it. Wow. It was heavier than my upgraded UO8 with rack and lights. But he was big guy, probably 6'5" and the frame was big.
Real cyclists use toe clips.
With great bikes comes great responsibility.
I rode 53 miles today on my De Rosa. Humid and overcast, at times foggy with a light mist. Around 75 degrees. Mostly in Scituate, Coventry and West Greenwich RI.
speckled breasted sap sucker, or something.
Just a quick ride in Prospect Park today. I had terrible luck with flats on my way there... time for new tires. These Veloflex Masters only lasted about 800 miles
Don't mind the open QR.
Some great pics, guys. I wish I could ride with you in those places! It was really windy on the coast today, like 25+ MPH winds.
"Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use." -Charles M. Schulz
Great ride reports this weekend, everyone! Thanks for the great photos.
You meet the nicest people on two wheels!"

The New Chunnel: Europe-Africa Train under the Strait of Gibraltar
The dream of connecting the two continents-- only nine miles a part at the narrowest point of the Straight of Gibraltar-- may at last become a reality. After years of terrain tests, engineers have come up with a blueprint plan for a high-speed rail tunnel connecting Europe and Africa. As reported by the Associated Press:
This tube for passengers, cars and freight would bore deep under the Strait of Gibraltar, the narrow waterway where the Atlantic flows into the Mediterranean, and run from Tangier, Morocco, to the Spanish town of Tarifa at Europe's southernmost tip, possibly extending further both ways in the future. Big-name European engineering consultants brought in a few months ago are to complete a feasibility study this year.
This would be a true engineering marvel, the deepest underwater tunnel anywhere. There are plenty of challenges. At the proposed project site, the water is about 1,000 feet deep, six times deeper than the depth of the English Channel where the Eurostar tunnel is located. In addition, there are geologic complications, as the terrain is muddy and unstable with pockets of debris from tectonic slides. If the Straight of Gibraltar Project gets the green light in 2008, the cost would be over $13 billion and take about 20 years to construct.

White Nights in St. Petersburg, Russia at the W Hotel
Just in time for the 2008 White Nights Festival, Starwood has announced the opening of a new W hotel in the Russian city on the Neva built by Peter the Great. Throughout the month of June, the sun never sets and St. Petersburg celebrates in style with music, festivals, and ballet performances at the Mariinsky Ballet and Opera Theater. Indulge in some caviar and ice-cold vodka and take in the city sites: the Hermitage (which rivals the Louvre), the Russian Museum, and the imperial estate of Peterhof. Scheduled to open in mid 2008, the new W hotel will be the first W in Eastern Europe. The hotel will showcase historic architecture complemented by exciting contemporary interiors (and plenty of signature W design elements, like the W Living Room). Located on Voznesensky Prospect, the hotel will feature spectacular views of the gold-domed St. Isaac's Cathedral from the guest rooms. The best part of all? A rooftop bar overlooking the historic city's sparkling lights.
The Terrace at Conrad Chicago
Celebrate the 2007 grand opening of the Terrace at Conrad on Friday, May 25th five stories above pedestrian life at the Conrad Hotel Chicago. As the hotel describes: "The lofty ambiance of Conrad Chicago's stylish new seasonal outdoor gather spot is perfect for unwinding with a TerraceTini or sampling the globally inspired tapas menu." In addition, terrace guests can enjoy "Movies on The Terrace," which presents movies produced in Chicago along with new releases, every Sunday and Monday evening at sunset (as we've talked about before). After May 25th, the Terrace will be open for dinner with a 1950's South Beach inspired ambiance. The outdoor area features a spectacular bar, and modern furniture such as oversized chairs, sofas, daybeds and umbrellas providing a relaxed, yet elegant setting. Be prepared for the Terrace at Conrad to become a contendor for the perfect weekday or weekend hot spot. Prepare your own "TerraceTini" in preparation for the opening with the following ingredients: 1.5 oz Malibu Passion Fruit 1 oz Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice Splash of Lavender essence ½ of lime pressed Cassis Liqueur thinly layered
Going to Galle, Sri Lanka: The Fortress Hotel and Spa
The historic seaport of Galle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, boasts a marvelous mélange of European and Southeast Asian architectural traditions. (The famous Galle fort, first built by the Portuguese, was then modified by the Dutch in the 17th century.) For centuries, the ancient city of Galle was at the crossroads of major worldwide trade routes, the strategic port en route from Arabia to the Orient. After the devastation caused by 2004's tsunami, the fortified city is back on its feet and is home to some of the finest luxury hotels in the region. One of these fine establishments is The Fortress Hotel, fashioned to resemble a powerful fortress rising from the sea. Perched on the beach, the new resort offers exquisite, perfumed gardens, a renowed spa with Ayurvedic treatments, free flow swimming pool, Sri Lankan tea room, wine cellar and restaurants. A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, The Fortress features beautiful rooms with designer amenities, designed in a style which forges Dutch and Portuguese styles with Sri Lankan motifs.

"Regional and commuter trains" Top 5 Page for this destination Dresden Transportation Tip by german_eagle
Dresden Transportation: 94 reviews and 171 photos
The commuter trains - there are three lines: S1, S2 and S3 - and the regional trains that connect Dresden with smaller towns in the surrounding region are the backbone of the public transportation in Dresden, most useful for those who want to get to work and back. These trains are also included in the VVO regional transportation network, thus you can use the same ticket that you bought for tram and bus on those trains. Please note that the VVO network is divided into zones, if you want to travel to a destination outside the city borders you have to pay for another zone (or even more).
The S1 trains run on the route Meissen - Bad Schandau (-Schöna) via Radebeul, Dresden, Pirna e.g. They cross Dresden from the northwestern areas via Neustadt and old town/city centre to the southeast and stop many times along the way. The S2 trains run from the airport in the north via Neustadt and old town also to the southeast but end in Pirna. Since both lines have a 30 minutes frequency you have 4 train departures per hour in each direction, but at an odd schedule, not exactly every 15 minutes.
The S3 trains connect Dresden central railway station and Freiberg via Freital and Tharandt. VVO tariff applies to "Klingenberg-Colmnitz", which is two stops beyond Tharandt. This route is much frequented by students (the Tech University has a branch in Tharandt).
Important regional train lines are from Dresden to Leipzig (via Radebeul and Riesa - which is the last stop in the VVO region), from Dresden to Nürnberg (same route as S3, then via Chemnitz, Zwickau, Plauen), from Dresden to Elsterwerda-Biehla where you change for another regional train to Berlin, and finally several routes in eastern direction - Bautzen, Zittau, Görlitz, even to Liberec in the Czech Republic (via Zittau) and Wroclaw/Breslau in Poland (via Bautzen, Görlitz). For all these regional trains VVO tariff applies, too, as far as your destination is still in the VVO region. Please see the map on the "other" link below!
Caution: Unlike in trams and buses, you cannot validate your ticket on the train! The machines for validation are on the platforms of the train stations. You cannot buy your ticket from the conductor on the trains. Purchase them from the ticket machines (there is one in each train station, if not working you *can* purchase from the conductor) or in the service centres at the main/Neustadt railway stations. Stupid Deutsche Bahn rules!! But in most cases you have to somehow get to the train stop anyway, so will have a ticket already (remember, one ticket for tram and bus AND trains!)

Peacemaker shot dead at Issano Landing
A thirty-three-year old peacemaker was fatally shot when he intervened in an argument between two men at 14 Miles, Issano Landing and a man is currently in police custody assisting with investigations.
Dead is thirty-three-year-old Selwyn Bess of Kaneville Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara.
Police in a release said that their initial investigations revealed that an argument developed among a group of men in a shop in the Region Seven mining area during which shots were discharged. The release added that Bess who was also in the shop was later found dead with a suspected gunshot injury to his chest.
His uncle told this newspaper that he last saw his nephew in January and that they are in the process of making arrangements to have Bess's body brought to the city. His body is currently at the Bartica Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Bess leaves to mourn two children.

Respond to Review of Masa of Echo Park
by Chia
Review: Had read about this place on HappyCow a while back and have walked by it a couple times while going to eat at Sage Vegan Cafe just a few doors down. Finally had a chance to try the pizza on 2 occasions. Was just here in February 2013. Here's my Masa of Echo Park review. It's a casual, family friendly atmosphere restaurant, not fancy or anything. While not purely veg, it does offer vegan cheese and vegan chicken as pizza toppings. The regular menu does not point out the vegan specific items, so ASK for the vegan menu (that's also published on its website). I knew I wanted to try the vegan Teese Cheese (made by Chicago Soy Company). Twice I got a bistro style pizza rather than a deep dish (maybe next time I will though) with added cherry tomatoes. A good size pizza for 2 adults to share. Price is now around $16-17. Both times the vegan cheese pizza was delicious. I really liked the Teese cheese on my thin-crust pizza. It has a soft texture and is not greasy (like Daiya cheese gets). I will return for the deep dish next time. PS. Masa also offers a soy cheese that contains casein (dairy derivative).

Book Notes and Acknowledgments
With the publication of Jean Delanglez, The Journal of Jean
Cavelier (Chicago, 1938, pp. 179, $2.50) the Institute of Jesuit
History has produced its second book. Delanglez, by the way, was
also the author of the first, Some La Salle Journeys. The book
is really a translation and annotation of the journal which La
Salle's brother, the abbe Jean Cavelier, kept of La Salle's expe-
dition to rTIexas and of his own overland journey back to Canada.
This journal, or chronicle of La Salle's expedition, was preceded
by those of Father Anastasius Douay and of Henri Joutel and
covers the years 1684 to 1688. The book opens with a critical and
interesting study of Jean Cavelier. The journal proper is printed
in both French and English on pages facing one another and
fills forty translated pages. There are thirty-two pages of valu-
able editorial notes, a bibliography of eight pages, and a good
index of seven pages. The book will find its place in the Texana
of the period.
Sequoyah, by Grant Foreman (University of Oklahoma Press),
is one of the most interesting works from the pen of this well-
known writer on topics dealing with the American Southwest.
The story of Sequoyah, an illiterate Cherokee Indian who con-
ceived and perfected in its entirety the alphabet or syllabary of
his language, is based largely on newly discovered source mate-
rials. Sequoyah realized the magic of writing as employed by
the white man and set about to give the Indian a "talking leaf."
It was a slow, laborious task, but was so well accomplished by this
untutored Cherokee that many of his people mastered the entire
syllabary of eighty-six characters within a few days. In Fore-
man's words, "Heroic and pathetic was the figure of this man
groping in the dark for something he had never seen; an objective
only vaguely conceived, but something he very definitely believed
he could bring into being for the great good of his people." (p. 73)
The beautiful "Ode to Sequoyah," by the Creek Indian poet, Alex
Posey, is given at the conclusion of the volume. Sequoyah lists at
Texas State Historical Association. The Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Volume 42, July 1938 - April, 1939. Austin, Texas. The Portal to Texas History. http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth101107/. Accessed May 28, 2016.

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State Police say an elderly Port Townsend, Wash., woman has died of injuries suffered in a single-car rollover accident on Interstate 5 in southern Oregon.
Both 79-year-old Christine Holme and her 80-year-old husband Daniel Holme were pulled from the wreckage Thursday by firefighters and taken to a nearby hospital.
Lt. Gregg Hastings says the woman died of her injuries after arriving at Rogue Valley Medical Center. Her husband, who was driving, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
State police say both were using safety restraints when their southbound car traveled off the freeway near Gold Hill, hit a roadway marker and barrier, then rolled onto its top.

If I'm Not Clinically Diagnosed, Does That Make My Depression Invalid?
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States ages 18 and older, or 18 percent of the population. Included in this statistic is the one-third who actually get treated, which is an extremely small group. It left me thinking about the people who aren't diagnosed or treated. It also left me thinking about my own situation. I often think about what depression looks like, it's many faces, and it always brings me back to that Zoloft commercial where the white bouncy blob struggles to function and do simple tasks. A storm cloud settles over it. I can relate.
Sometimes I go through short periods where I'm questioning what my life means. Some days, like the bouncing ball in the Zoloft commercial, I'm disinterested when it comes to doing anything. There are some days where I feel like a lazy bum, and I'm ashamed of it, but I'm too lethargic to get up from my bed and be productive. Sometimes I get extremely overwhelmed, stressed, and I worry about everything. Some days I feel trapped in my own skin and just stuck in life.
There are times when I'm dealing with these sporadic bouts of despair. However, I haven't been clinically diagnosed with depression. I am, for the most part, a happy person. But when things are bad, it feels as though they are on a downward spiral and I sink into it. Sometimes it's the big stuff that triggers it—like being overwhelmed with work, weight gain, feeling unmotivated to write, or family issues—but often enough, feeling low is also triggered by other things as simple as crappy weather, being in stuck in a dismal city, a rough night's sleep or too much sleep. I don't know how to define what I feel as anything but depression, but there are times when I feel that because I haven't been clinically diagnosed, my phases of sadness aren't as valid, as strong or as clearly defined as depression as they are for those who have been clinically diagnosed and who are medically battling for their mental health. So, often times, I ignore it and wait until I get over it. I felt I was being politically incorrect by saying things like "I'm depressed," so I sought out a deeper understanding of what it really means to be just that, even when there is no clinical diagnosis. I had to ask myself, am I just extremely bummed out or am I really depressed? And what is the difference?
I've found my own form of therapy in being able to have open discussions with friends whenever these dark feelings arise, and I've learned that there are levels to mental health that go way beyond a clinical diagnosis. I've learned that whether I'm bummed out for weeks on end without reason, or I'm temporarily feeling helpless because nothing seems to be looking up in my life, these aren't issues that need validation in order for me to seek whatever help or counsel I deem necessary for them. So does not being clinically diagnosed invalidate my depression? Nope, not at all.

Loss, Trauma & Healing with Therapist Meg Batterson
Love Lesson: How to Heal Your Love Traumas with Therapist Meg Batterson
Today, we're doing a love class with Meg Batterson a licensed psychotherapist practicing in New York City. Meg does after care for guests of a nationally syndicated talk show where I am a recurring life coach. Meg works with couples and individuals.
Abiola: Tell our readers about your work, Meg.
Meg Batterson: I work in private practice in the Flatiron District. I'm a relationally oriented therapist; I'm always curious how we as humans impact each other and how our environment impacts our well being. I seek to help people live out their potential, actually paradoxically, by supporting them where they are. I really feel like I want to help my clients be present with their feelings and not get stuck in the past or worry too much about the future.
I give talks about what I call "post-traumatic love disorder." I coined that phrase because I feel like so many of us are like the walking wounded out here. One of the most common situations that I encounter as a coach and when I speak to large groups is women telling me, "I know it should be over but I can't let it go." Why can't people just walk away?
Letting go is a really tricky lesson to learn in life both while you're in the context of a relationship and also when something ends. One theory actually is that attachment is such a powerful bond. In the beginning of a relationship we release those intense chemicals like oxytocin that make us bond together. That's really important for survival because it's about procreation and we need to bond together in order to have a child.
It's my impression that something in us biologically feels compelled to stay even just for survival reasons. We need to stay connected as human beings in order to survive. That's a definite truth. Even though psychologically we're caught up in a relationship that we know isn't good for us, I think there's something biologically — it must also be somewhat psychological — that compels us to stay.
Even if there's a situation of abuse, there are lots of women in those situations and people often wonder, why do they stay? Well, I think part of the reason that they stay is because of this biological need to stay together no matter what.
That makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint.
And now here we are in 2014 and we're surviving, and we need each other but we don't need each other quite in the same way that we did back then. I think that's still left over. There are many theories but that's just one theory.
The oxytocin and those feel-good chemicals that are generated when we're in love or when we're hugging someone or when we're cuddling are addictive chemicals. From an intellectual point of view, that's great. But if you are a person the situation I mentioned, what should you do in order to break away?
I think one of the keys to that is the body. We have our mind, our brain that's usually caught up in some obsessive thinking about the person or the relationship. You're chewing it over and over, and you're going over everything you did together, all the good memories. Maybe even minimizing some of the bad memories. But I think if you are able to just sit quietly with your body… Maybe you get into some kind of meditation practice or yoga practice or even just sitting on your couch and dropping and checking into your body and not focusing so much on what your brain is telling you. The brain is rationalizing I should stay in this bad situation or I need to stay connected to this person, I can't let go.
If you drop into your body you kind of allow yourself to drop into that grief process and you make contact with, 'what is my heart feeling? What am I feeling in my stomach?' Then you maybe start to get new information that you didn't have access to when you were obsessing over the old story. When your mind is telling you, this is the right thing for me or I just want it to be, it has to be. I don't want to be a failure having those obsessive thoughts.
If you drop into the body then maybe you have access to some new content, some new information that can create a new story for yourself. I think people often just want to avoid pain to stay away from the body. They don't want to drop into that grief process and loss because it's scary.
Yes! Currently I am running online coaching programs to help clear toxins from our lives. My Love, Body, Spirit Detox is about detoxifying from those toxic love relationships and learning how to do that. The other is called Heal Your Heart. Our mothers and fathers didn't know necessarily how to heal or to tell us, "drop into your body."
Some people don't even know what drop into your body means. It can be interpreted in so many ways so we need education on how do we get out of the incessant thinking. Maybe our parents weren't able to teach us because they didn't know, we have inherited ways of being. We learn behavior through what our parents show us and so I'm so glad to hear that you're doing these programs because I think education is really key for a lot of people in this area.
That's where we get into trouble because like you said our instinct is to naturally run from pain. People drink or take drugs, or go into another relationships, have sex or whatever it is to try to avoid or numb the pain rather than going into it. We think we're going to close my heart but the healing comes from opening your heart not from just closing down or shutting down.
Absolutely. And oftentimes we shut down when we don't have our bridge. We don't have relationships. I think relationships are another really important factor that plays into this concept of learning how to let go. We need each other, we can't do things alone. It's a fallacy to think that you're this independent being roaming around out there.
Most Americans like to think of themselves as individualists, yeah you can be an individual but we also need to be connected and we need each other in order to heal. Reaching out to your friends, and family, and going into yourself but then going back to others and talking about your story is also really important.

7 Simple Things That Can Make Your Marriage Better
This week is National Marriage Week, a time dedicated to strengthening marriages across the United States. Whether you are married or not, this week is a great time to gather information about what makes a marriage work well and what couples can do to strengthen their union.
Marriage is hard work. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or has never been married. The challenge for any married couple is whether or not they are willing to put in the work to make their marriage work – to make it last.
Making your marriage stronger doesn't have to feel like hard work, though, because every day things you do can be steps towards strengthening your relationship. We also have to remember that what you need to make your marriage better may be very different that what your friend needs to improve her marriage. We are all in different places and we all require different things from our partners, but here are seven small things we can all do to make our marriages better.
7 Simple Things That Can Make Your Marriage Better
Straight From His Mouth: How Black Women Can Get Black Men Into Therapy
During my undergraduate tenure at Florida State, I had the fortune of being taught by one of the most important black psychologists in the country, Dr. Naim Akbar. Dr. Akbar, while discussing the psychological state of black people in America, said "every negro living in America needs some form of therapy. When you think about what's been done to us and our history in this country, America is lucky that it isn't overrun with a bunch of crazy n*****."
When asked what it would take to get men, specifically black men, to attend a therapy session, I thought of 1,000 different reasons it wouldn't happen. When I say "therapy," I'm making specific reference to sessions which include couches, a licensed psychologist discussing a patient's feelings, and daily/weekly visits. Discussing black men's aversion to therapy without talking about the barriers would be pointless, so I'll start there. Afterward, I'll discuss how those barriers can be broken.
Men "being men" isn't the answer
Firstly, we need to understand how the stereotype of men's emotional disposition can prevent them from seeking therapy. Society says men are supposed to be strong, unemotional, and silent. If a woman needs help, she has an almost endless amount of resources to choose from. The stereotype of the man being strong and silent works against men, especially black men, because we aren't allowed to verbalize what is wrong with us without being seen as weak. This is particularly destructive for black men because carrying the burden of being one of the most oppressed groups in the United States has been a direct cause of so many young black men ending up in the prison system. The rules need to be rewritten to show black men that talking about problems and dealing with them head on in a safe environment is an example of strength, too.
It starts with the parents
A discussion of how the stigma of mental health and how it's viewed in the black community needs to be addressed. What I've found in my previous experience as a mental health counselor for "at risk" youth is that parents have a hard time understanding the problems at hand so they're either perplexed on what to do or believe the problem to be temporary. Instead of parents admitting there might be something wrong, parents simply say "there's nothing wrong" or the kids are "just acting up." That attitude is carried for those same children when they turn into adults. Rather than concede there is an issue, black boys grow up to be black men who think "there's nothing wrong" or that whatever is bothering them will simply go away. A refusal of their parents to acknowledge a little black boy's actions not being "normal," turns into black men who can't own up to the notion of something not being quite right with them and to then seek help.
Therapy ain't cheap, or just for white people
The last barrier I wanted to touch on are the costs associated with seeking treatment. A cursory glance on your favorite search engine will give you a wide array of prices on therapeutic services. The price can range from $60 an hour all the way up to $250+ an hour. Certainly nothing to sneeze at. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that a large portion of the black community believes therapy, on the whole, is "for white or crazy people." Ignorant? Absolutely, but I've seen it and heard it a hundred times over so I know this line of thought exists.
We know the problems, what are some solutions?
So how do we combat all of this? These solutions are available, but I'll admit they're not as easy to do as they are to write about. For starters, there would need to be a paradigm shift in the way men are treated in society. We need black men to realize that seeking help to deal with certain issues is perfectly acceptable. Being able to ask for help, instead of carrying the entire world on their shoulders, needs to be seen as a sign of strength. Not the other way around.
Secondly, the stigma of seeing a therapist needs to be reduced. Building up more support in the black community about the benefits of attending therapy sessions, black parents being able to admit they may need some outside assistance in finding out what's wrong with their child, and newfound respect for the work mental health professionals can help tremendously.
Finally, though therapy costs can be costly, I've noticed that there are insurance policies available that can cut the costs down. If that's not an option, black men can look for other resources that provide an open and safe place for them to share their burdens. Whether it's group therapy, counseling sessions at whichever college they attend, or simply talking to someone else about what's going on, there are alternatives to traditional forms of counseling and resources for those who can't afford to pay the full cost. One just has to look for them.
Getting men to go to therapy, no matter the race, is a tall order. As a black man, I can attest that gender stereotypes, how mental health is viewed, and the costs associated with therapy are definite barriers to seeking help in this manner. Though I talked about some other solutions, I also want to take the time to say that black women can definitely play an integral part in pushing men to seek help as well. Author Charles W. Chestnutt once said "when it is said that it was done to please a woman, there ought to be enough said to explain anything; for what a man will not do to please a woman is yet to be discovered." In other words, plenty of men out there will do anything to please their woman and if going to therapy is what would make her happy, he'd damn sure at least consider it.

So That's What Hot In The Streets? Chris Brown Continues To Fuel Gang Affiliation Rumors
Does Chris Brown really want the masses to celebrate him when he does something "good" or "right?" We can't tell.
He's been ranting all week about this, that and the other, but now, TMZ has photos of his latest work and apparent gang affiliation.
Breezy has been in Hawaii for the last couple of days (he performed on Friday) and while there, he had a local guide take him to an area of the island where doing graffiti is legal. His portrait, reminiscent of his recent "Eff the police" tweets, was tagged with his initials in the shape of a heart along with "Fruit Pirus!!!!," right next to it.
For those of you who aren't aware, the Pirus are a notorious gang from Los Angeles who are mostly made up of original blood gang members. The distinction of Piru groups is very confusing and since we are not gang members, we don't need to go through figuring it out. To be honest, I've only done "research" on this after hearing Kendrick Lamar denouncing the gang lifestyle on his album.
Back to Chris. This is the second time in a week that he's referred to the gang. When he talked about collaborating with Beyonce, he added that "JAY might have a problem wit it but this PIRU!"
Now, if Chris has any concern over how fans might deal with the idea of him being in a gang, he'll try to have his publicists spin the story to make it seem like he's not in a gang. I mean, that'd be the smart thing.
You can check out the rest of the photos over on TMZ.
Here's the question: What kind of grown a** man waits until he's in his 20s to join a gang? You don't have anything else better to do with your grown a** life than to run around being involved with a gang…allegedly?
Okay, Breezy.

Pretty Padded Room Founder Brings Counseling to the Digital Space
In mid-February, Bea Arthur appeared on ABC's investment and invention driven television show Shark Tank. She presented to the judges with confidence, delivering a memorable pitch that revealed the makings of her online therapy counseling service Pretty Padded Room — "A nice place to go crazy." Although small, Arthur's business was already running and successful before the show.
At the time of taping — last September — Arthur considered the not-bitten pitch to be a sorely missed opportunity. Nonetheless, Pretty Padded Room has since experienced beneficial adjustments. The most helpful advice received from the judges, Arthur said, was to find a business partner — and fast.
"I realized that I couldn't build a business while I was running the business. If you're a solo entrepreneur, you get bogged down by the day-to-day operations, " Arthur admitted.
"At the time I had eight people working for me and 40 clients per month. Working from home on my futon full-time took all of my time. I wasn't in the mindset to be doing the things I needed to do to get to the next level."
Though a partnership between Arthur and an investor on the show didn't materialize, she's found other investors and currently owns 84 percent of the business.
"Since that time a lot has changed in how I operate my business. At the time I was really bummed out. I really felt like I had it and they would like it," Arthur said. "I got tripped up on a couple of questions. I do feel like had I given them the answers they wanted, I could have gotten a deal."
The Birth of Pretty Padded Room
Arthur thought up the idea of Pretty Padded Room in 2010, after her first venture Me Time failed. While a graduate psychology student at Columbia University, Arthur often babysat to earn extra money. Considering the moms that got very little time off — and to themselves — she launched a social site for mothers who maybe wanted to chat with other adults and moms alike.
"At the time I was 25 and didn't have any kids so here I was telling these women they had a need. It was nice in theory, but what I found out later was that if I was a stay-at-home mom and had an hour free, I'd want to take a nap or go hang out with other moms," Arthur added. "I wasn't my target market. With this business I am my target market."
Arthur discovered that therapy was her forte while working in real estate. Fairly different than her time prior spent as a domestic violence counselor — in real estate Arthur learned that beyond her job she enjoyed engaging with clients. That's when, in 2006, she decided to go back to school to earn a Masters and EdM in Counseling Psychology.
"In having a lot of clients I just realized that I wanted to talk more to people. I was really curious about human behavior and the human condition," She said.
Following the fall of Me Time, Arthur became depressed. Despite being a therapist herself, she strayed away from getting help because of two issues: the first, she didn't want friends to know what she was going through; two she couldn't afford continual therapy sessions.
Reshaping the Accessibility of Sanity
"I said if I'm a believer of this and can't afford it, some of our clients must feel this way too. I felt like there was a big disconnect in this really necessary and valuable service and what people thought about it — and what they were able to get out of it," Arthur said.

Girl You Crazy…For Real: 15 Celebrities That Might Really Have Problems

Another Day, Another Crazy Athlete: Former Baseball Star Milton Bradley Facing Spousal Abuse Charges
Most professional sports leagues do psychiatric testing on their players at some point but maybe they're missing something because some of these fools are insane.
Former baseball star Milton Bradley is facing 13 charges related to spousal abuse, according to TMZ. If you're a baseball fan, you know Badley's name and know he's had lots of trouble on and off the field most of his career. He and his wife Monique married in 2005 but Bradley filed for divorced 11 months later after the police had been to their house three times during those 11 months on domestic related calls. He was never arrested and the divorce was never finalized.
Two years ago, he was arrested for making criminal threats to Monique but in exchange for an out-of-court hearing, the charges were dropped. However, seven months later, he was arrested for allegedly attacking his wife with a bat and yet again in March 2012 for threatening her with a knife and adding, "You'll be dead before you divorce me, Itchbay."
These 13 counts of domestic charges stem from all the aforementioned accounts and another in November where Monique claimed Milton choked her with two hands after she asked him to stop smoking weed in front of their two children.
The charges are as follows: 4 counts of spousal battery, 4 counts of criminal threats, 2 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, 2 counts of vandalism and 1 count of dissuading a witness from making a report. If convicted, he faces up to 13 years in prison.
He'll be arraigned on January 24th and is denying the charges.
I'm sure many of you are wondering why his wife didn't just leave but based on the descriptions of his attacks, she likely feared for her life and the lives of her children. Hopefully, she can finally get out and she and her children get the help they need.
Break Up to Make Up: Celebs Calling It Quits
What is it about Hollywood break-ups that feed the secret voyeur that lives in some if not all us?
Looking back at 2012, America was faced with the breakup of some major Hollywood stars and even experienced a false alarm when one couple threw in the towel temporarily after a cheating scandal was uncovered. What is it about Hollywood break-ups that feed the secret voyeur that lives in some if not all us? In general, I was totally unaffected by the news that Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson called it quits after she allegedly cheated only to get back together again very shortly thereafter *sigh*.
However, I did go through roughly a week's worth of mourning when I heard about Heidi Klum and Seal's semi-sour ending and ultimate split. I still experience a sudden rush of sadness when I see Paparazzi pics of Heidi with her bodyguard boyfriend and her kids. But why? Heidi and Seal, Kristen and Robert, none of these people or their relationships have a thing to do with me and my life. When it comes down to it, I think we look at celebrity relationships as examples of what our own should or will be. Some of us tend to place stars on a pedestal making the misguided assumption that somehow the money and fame equates to a happiness that supersedes our own.
As a result, when it all comes crashing down publicly for them, it strikes fear in the hearts of us common folk as we pose the question: if Kimora Lee and Russell couldn't do it with millions, will my marriage make it through with far less? Truth be told, you may have a better shot at lasting love than would a Hollywood A-lister rolling in the dough. Work on mastering your own relationship and you may come to find that true love can't be bought or sold.

Are the 76ers Throwing Games to Get Jordan Fired?

Rich in culture: Ramesh showing his photo of a religious ceremony in Chennai.
THE public can take in the unique charms of Chennai, India, through the lens of photographer S.A. Ramesh in
an exhibition at The Star Pitt St. in George Town, Penang.
Ramesh, 53, is displaying 68 images in the solo showcase titled 'Chennai Nalla Chennai' which opens to the public today at the first floor of the building in Jalan Mesjid Kapitan Keling.
The visual feast of the Tamil Nadu capital, previously also known as Madras, encompasses its residents' way of life, customs
and traditions, landmarks, places of worship, festivals and quirks that make it tick.
Chennai-born and bred Ramesh, who loves strolling the city's streets to capture these candid everyday scenes, hopes his photographs give viewers a better insight into his beloved hometown.
"It is a vibrant, multi-faceted place that is also rich in history," he said of the city.
Besides sharing its charms with the world, Ramesh believes his snapshots are also a good record for posterity.
"Today, many of these scenes are part of daily life.
"But years from now, they might be gone," he opined.
He added that the exhibition's title is a play on the popular 1967 Tamil movie song Madras Nalla Madras.
Ramesh took up photography at a very young age after an uncle gave him a box camera.
He continued to pursue his passion up till his college days, winning many competitions and awards along the way.
Photography then took a backseat as
he pursued a career in banking, with stints
at various places in India and also Austra-
Ramesh rediscovered the hobby several years ago and now spends his weekends snapping away.
His exhibition opening today also coincides with the 375th Madras Day, celebrated on Aug 22 yearly to commemorate the founding of the modern city.
It was on Aug 22, 1639, when Francis Day of the British East India Company secured a grant for a three-mile long strip of land, comprising fishing villages, and established Fort St George.
Ramesh felt Penang was the ideal venue for his exhibition as the state is home to a large Tamil population and Chennai has a history echoing that of George Town.
The showcase is a joint collaboration by
the Indian Cultural Centre of Kuala Lumpur, Think City and the George Town Festival.
It will run from 10am to 5pm daily until Sept 22.
Admission is free.
