The Jefferson Parish School Board meets Wednesday (Sept. 3) at 5 p.m. at the School Board's administration building in Harvey. Here are three things to watch on the School Board's agenda, which is posted on the school system's website:
1) Consideration of two new charter schools. The board will consider two Type 1 charter schools, Laureate Academy and Jefferson RISE Charter School. Superintendent James Meza, Jr. is recommending board approval, as are representatives from SchoolWorks, the education consulting firm the system contracts with for charter application reviews.
In August, the board denied the charter applications of three other groups, Louisiana Achievement Charter Academies, Smothers Academy and the Louisiana Charter Foundation. That was also in line with Meza's and SchoolWorks' recommendations.
(View the application for Laureate Academy.)
(View the application for Jefferson RISE.)
2) Consideration of a new English-language learners literacy program. The board will consider a new, web-based program for Jefferson's more than 5,000 English language learners, that is aimed at accelerating proficiency in English reading and writing. The software will cost the system $105,750, and 68 of the system's 81 schools would have access to it.
3) Consideration of an additional stipend for bilingual teacher recruits. Board member Etta Licciardi is proposing that the system pay teachers who are proficient in Spanish, Vietnamese or Arabic a one time $2,000 signing bonus and a $3,000 annual stipend for additional duties.
Teachers will get these funds only if: a) they are currently serving a large percentage of bilingual students, b) they are deemed competent in the second language "by a nationally recognized instrument to be determined by Human Capital," according to the proposal, and c) they are certified and assigned to teach English language learners.
They may also be subject to involuntary transfers, should English-learners needs arise at other schools.
Jefferson has the highest concentration of English learners of any public school system in the state, and the system has struggled to find the bilingual teachers it needs. The moves to bolster support for English language learners come two months after Jefferson reached an agreement with federal officials to end a two-year investigation into discrimination against this population.
An insurance committee meeting will precede the board's regular meeting. The committee meeting begins at 4 p.m.

Call for Papers: Seventh National Conference of the National Coalition of Independent Scholars
The seventh national NCIS conference will be held in New York City, October 15-17, 2004. The program committee invites submissions of papers that deal with participants' specific research interests in relation to the overall theme of how and why independent scholars do their work. We invite suggestions for topics and panels. Those suggested so far include:
In addition to panels featuring papers submitted by individuals, we plan to have sessions with invited speakers on subjects such as funding for scholars, publication (print and electronic), access to scholarly resources, etc. We invite other suggestions for sessions of this kind.
Deadline for submission is March 15, 2004.
Prospective participants should submit a brief abstract (up to 250 words) and a one-page c.v. The proposal can be mailed to the address given below, or it can be e-mailed to the contact listed. (E-mail submission is preferred. Please send the proposal in the e-mail message, not as an attachment.) For further information, contact:
Joanne Lafler

The National Coalition of Independent Scholars (NCIS) was formed in 1989 to facilitate the work of independent scholars and gained non-profit, tax-exempt status in 1991. Now international in membership and scope, NCIS establishes links with, and supports, independent scholar groups in the United States and abroad.
NCIS is unique among scholarly organizations in its multi-disciplinary nature, with members in the humanities, sciences, and arts. Members share a concern for the production of fine scholarship and for issues that affect scholars working outside of an institutional setting, including: access to research libraries, archives, and other scholarly resources; equal consideration in competition for grants and fellowships; inclusion in the scholarly review process and the making of research policies.
NCIS created and manages the H-Net discussion list H-Scholar. For more information about the organization, visit the website.

Acorn 4.0.5: Two Dozen Plus Fixes, Changes, Tweaks
There are gods among men and just plain cool people — Gus Mueller et al at Flying Meat Software number among the latter, though I have my suspicions about the former. Service matters and Acorn 4.0.5, with its score and more bug fixes, is a case in point.
• Acorn 4.0.5 (download)
— Fixed a bug where the Save panel would sometimes show a checkbox in the middle of the file listing when you had versions turned on.
— Fixed a bug where the tools palette color well wouldn't update its color if you changed the color of a text box via the font palette.
— Change: When calling a filter via the Filter menu, it is now immediately used for the "Last Filter" menu item instead of waiting for a layer to flatten its filters.
— Fixed a bug where the Grid filter wasn't drawing correctly with some oddball settings.
— Fixed a bug when opening files via JavaScript.
— Fixed some various color mismatch problems with the brush and Edit ▸ Fill command.
— Fixed a problem where the flood fill tool was using a bad color with images which had their colorspace set to device RGB.
— Fixed a problem where temporary undo files weren't being cleaned up.
— Performance improvements when drawing on a retina display, as well as color space fixes on a retina display.
— Making a magic wand selection is a little bit faster now.
— See the release notes for more
Acorn, the image editor for humans, is available on the Mac App Store for $49.99 — accept no substitutes.

We have long known that people who live in poverty have shorter life expectancies than those who are better off.1 Similarly, psychological distress is a risk factor for early mortality.2 Lazzarino and colleagues3 provide evidence that the effect of psychological distress on mortality is greater among adults of lower socioeconomic status (SES). The finding is based on 66 518 adults completing the Health Survey for England in 1 of 10 years (1994-2004), with survey data linked to mortality data to 2008 (mean follow-up of 8 years). Their analysis relied on a brief measure of psychological distress (symptoms of anxiety and depression, low confidence, and social dysfunction), an occupation measure (categories from managerial/professional to unskilled), and adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, and diabetes mellitus and for hypertension and physical activity in sensitivity analyses. They found that occupational status and psychological distress had significant main effects on mortality and an interaction reflecting a stronger effect of distress on mortality among persons of lower social class. The authors featured all-cause mortality but found similar conclusions for mortality due to stroke and coronary heart disease and for men and women, older and younger adults, and early and late survey cohorts.

i completely agree. what small shred of vanity in my appearance still exists in me is covered by new goals of what i can accomplish. i was discussing the idea of well rounded fitness with someone just the other day, and came to the conclusion that i don't want to be extremely good at one thing...i'd rather be pretty good at lots of things. and i feel like i've been neglecting that recently...most likely because it's been a cold, hard winter here in new hampshire and going outside some serious balls (which are likely a victim of shrinkage in this weather).
i've got a pretty good hold on my strength, and i would probably survive an endurance test (i competed in a triathlon this past fall with only three days of training...being primal and playing/lifting helped my endurance a lot) but i think i want to work a lot on balance, speed, explosiveness, etc.
my thought is to give myself a goal. i might try to find a couple of fitness tests that are used by professionals who need to have as many skills as possible, like the military or firefighters or something. any recommendations.

Thursday, October 09, 2008 | Category: Commercial Spaces, Material Girls Projects
After almost ten months since I was hired on, the pediatric dentist office that I have been talking about/working on for so long is now open for business! I leave on a little roadtrip to go attend its grand opening tomorrow in Georgetown which will be a nice break in the week from the normal routine.
It being my very first dentist office project, I will say that designing for kids has never been so much fun!
It's amazing how fast a space can be built out and go from this concept board…
To this…in just a few months
It's a strange bittersweet feeling when a project comes to an end- you don't know whether to be excited that it's all built and everything's completed or to be sad that it's all over with. I guess you just have to be ready for what's next!
If you are in the Austin/Georgetown area, you should go stop in and see Dr. Kelly at Star Smiles– she even has "Star Bucks", video games, and sugarless candy, for the kiddos!

I love you...really?Posted Tuesday, February 14, 2012, at 10:56 AM
Can't take credit for the following but loved...liked it a lot. With teenagers around the house I have often wondered how to voice this when I know that they believe their feelings are real in the moment.
In the "Good Ol' Days", the greatest thing you could say to someone was "I love you". When in middle school and high school, it was an elusive phrase. Typically, a boy and girl would have to "go out" for several months...then one day one of the lovebirds would whisper "I love you" to the other one. The biggest nightmare would be if the other person in the relationship did not say "I love you" back! As a result, couples would be in love for quite a while without verbalizing their feelings.
A trend developed a few years ago, and people started using the phrase "I love you" more. I think in the beginning it was started for good reasons (like to spread more love and happy feelings among people, maybe to help people get along). However, some people took the trend and ran with it -- saying "I love you" to everyone they know...and even random people they didn't know. Have you ever been around a group of young people lately and heard one of them yell "I love you, Nicole!" What really would be more appropriate is to say "I like you, Nicole!"
What happened when people began saying "I love you" more was not more love between people...instead, the phrase lost its meaning. Not only did the phrase lose its meaning, the phrase started to become annoying. When you hear a young person yell "I love you, Nicole!" do you say to yourself "That's awesome, these kids really love each other" -- no, you think to yourself "Wow, that's really annoying." Even more annoying is the hand gesture popularized by actors and music artists where the person forms their hands into the shape of a heart. When will this end? Can we ever get the meaning back?
Are we experiencing an "I Love You" backlash? We are using the phrase more now than at any other time in our history, yet there is less love between people than any time in recent memory. Educators report an increase in bullying, assaults, formation of cliques, name-calling, rumor-spreading, cyber-bullying, and general nastiness among students. I thought saying "I love you" was supposed to help us all get along! It may have had the opposite effect because there are now fewer ways to express our love towards one another.
The ramifications of this "I love you" phenomenon are grim for our young people. In the olden days, girls would withhold saying the phrase until they were really "in love" with a boy. The relationship grew very slowly -- starting with friendship, then growing into a loving partnership. The evolution of the relationship into a "physical" one was slow, and rarely took place without the prerequisite "I love you" that was difficult to obtain.
In the 21st Century, no one cares about obtaining an "I love you" from their girlfriend because the phrase is meaningless. In fact, most youngsters would rather have a "friends with benefits" arrangement. How sad. The level of respect between the sexes is at an all-time low, and it doesn't figure to rise anytime soon.
This is the part of the article where I give you advice about how to "fix" the problem you are facing. Unfortunately, I do not have any answers to help you with the "I Love You" phenomenon. In fact, many people believe that the overuse of the phrase isn't a problem at all. My only advice is to have students discuss how silly it is to use "I love you" indiscriminately, and possible consequences for this behavior.

My name is Leah Cauthron. I was born and raised on a farm near Cushing, Iowa. My parents still live there. I am a conservative Catholic. I have been married to Randy for 22 years and we have six children. I received my degree in Criminal Justice from Eastern Wyoming College and as a mother of six and a daycare mom, I have used probable cause, reasonable doubt, search and seizure, Miranda rights, submission, arrest and interrogation technique as a part of my daily life. I can also shoot a .357 magnum with deadly accuracy. I have lots of opinions on lots of things. I am not an expert on anything but I read a lot and will gladly share that information if I find it accurate. I have a sarcastic nature and for the most part I have pretty thick skin and most things don't bother me for long. I don't like mudslinging or name calling so keep negativity of the personal nature to yourself. Enjoy and welcome to my opinion.

Chances are you will have to restore all of /dev/hda2 from your backup and
order a new hard drive before things get worse. This assumes you did not
screw up that partition yourself and running up2date was only a coincidence.
Notice first, though, that the backup superblocks are placed at regular
locations on the partition, but those locations may not be in multiples of
8192. I seem to recall that on my RHEL3 system, they are at multiples of
32768, but I tend to make quite large partitions, rarely less than 4 GBytes,
and sometimes a lot more. So try "e2fsck -b 32769
" first.

Carnival Victory Cruise Review by Bahamamomma: A Trip to Remember.......
Overall Member Rating
A Trip to Remember.......
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Arrived in Ft Lauderdale on the 9th and stayed at the Miami Airport/Doral Marriott. Not a problem getting to the ship and boarding on the 10th, the only wait was due to my traveling companions (a last minute change in rooms, etc). Once we got on the ship and were comfortably seated on the Lido deck the party had begun!! The food was good in all areas, my only complaint - I found the Mississippi BBQ - but they never had BBQ!? The entertainment was very good, I do wish they had had the Carnival Singers and Dancers perform more than once - that show was really great!. The decor of the ship was different but not as bad as some reviews that I had read. I just didn't understand the nautical theme and then you were staring at Asian Lions, green shamrocks, etc. Oh well, it made for some interesting conversation. And, Malcolm, Whooo Hooo !!! What a guy, again nothing like the reviews that I had previously read. He was great! Crew Members that stood out were: Igor, Sakchai, Sirakit, Gustavo, More
Irinia, Delia, Mikey, David and William. They were all awesome and made the trip very enjoyable.
Now, for the bad part - I did not/do not like the chair HOGS!!! You know the ones who hop out on deck at 5:30 a.m. and put down a towel and never return all day - yes, I saw that happen!! and missing a shore excursion and being told I should have been on time - I was- about 45 min early but the lack of signage as to where to meet for the excursion, I'm still waiting on a letter from the excursion desk as to whether or not I'll get a refund. I know I'll have to call Guest Relations to solve the problem. But overall, a great time was had and if you saw the "crazy ladies" in green t-shirts you saw me and I was having a great time. Less

|The truth about brown bear predation by siberian tigers.; FINALLY, THE END OF THE DISCUSSION!
|Tweet Topic Started: Jul 22 2012, 06:58 AM (47,051 Views)

Unicellular Organism
The male Amur tiger will predate Asiatic black bears and sub adult and female brown bears. According to telemetry data on tigers from 1992-2003, half the attacks on brown bears occur during hibernation but no males were killed despite their vulnerable state of hibernation.. According to former Russian biologist S.P. Kucherenko & early Naturalist N.A. Baikov tigers will only attack bears of similar or smaller size which translates to female and sub adult bears, not the larger male brown bear.
There has been no record of male brown bears killed by tigers but there are records of male Amur tigers killed by brown bears & some of them were cannibalized.
According to Russian biologists I.V. Seryodkin, N.A. Raikov, & Park Manager G.F. Gorokhov, adult Usurri female brown bear are not easy prey for dominant male Amur tigers either - some of the larger female brown bears have inflicted severe injury to the victorious but bloodied tiger.
Adult male Far Eastern brown bears often use and also usurp Amur tiger carrion which sometimes include multiple tigers in the form a mother tiger and her 2-3 year old large adult size offspring.
SO THE ANSWER IS, tigers may kill adult males bears while hibernating or via ambush, but on face-to-face encounters, a male brown bear (specially the large far eastern brown bear) could kill even the largest siberian tiger.....................................................................

Bear fan biased much?
From "Mammals of the Soviet Union By Vladimir Georgievich Geptner, A. A. Nasimovich, Andreĭ Grigorʹevich"
"Early in May, 1951 on the bank of Tatibe River(Iman tributary), a bear was found(body lengh 158 cm, weight 170kg), which had obviously been mauled by tigress"
Presuming tigress weigh anywhere between 130-150Kg, It managed to kill 170 Kg Bear. This tells Tigers are capable of killing bears larger than itself.
Yes, a face-off between a 230 kg Tiger and Brown Bear would just be an up-scaled version of this, with the Tiger perhaps being less disadvantaged because it wouldn't have such a size deficiency. Any Tiger can kill a Bear his own size.
About the myth of Brown Bears usurping kills on Tigers:
Why are Bears so overrated when pitted against Cats?
|Jul 24 2012, 01:52 AM Post #4
Ultimate Predator
There are no records of adult male Amur Tigers killed by Brown Bears. Provide me with one reliable record.
Dale, the Tiger who killed four Brown Bears and one Himalayan Bear, was also never seriously injured once. Only once he suffered minor cuts and bruises.
In the 44 known tiger/brown bear fights 50% ended in bear's death, 27.3% - in tiger's death, 22.7% - in a draw."
Siberian Tigers come out on top against Bears more often than vice versa, despite the Ussuri Brown Bear being over 100 lbs heavier on average. That itself says a lot about Bear vs Big Cat conflicts.
Here's an article stating Bear's generally avoid Tigers and run away perpendicular to their trail when they do:
"In January 1941, I encountered the prints of a very large brown bear near the mouth of the Ta-Kunzha River, a tributary of the Kema River; this animal, which had accidentally come across a tiger family on the trail, abandoned this path at a gallop.š At another site, he came across the track of a male tiger and also turned away from the tiger's track."
Here's an report stating that Bears tend to contest female Tiger kill's only and avoid male Tigers.
I find it amazing how underrated Tigers are in this face-off. And in a fight between a 500 lbs Tiger and 500 lbs Bear, I'm sure the Tiger would win. However, the size advantage makes me question.

People keep posting old data that was endless times discussed already...
We are moving on circles and circles...
It´s tigers usually whom choose whom to fight and go for the conflict, not bears which are slower and less carnivore...
So it´s easy picking, to choose smaller bear cubs, hibernating bears or smaller females. And many times by ambush.
That isn´t meant to be impressive, but effective and with less risks.
Not for tiger/bear fans, but for scientists, it´s interesting data.
Tiger, called Dale only killed bears smaller than himself.
Only one was close to his size, but still smaller and it was a female bear.
And that finding of 170 kgs bear killed by tiger ( but with only 158 cm of lenght) tell us much about how really big that bear was... Maybe a fat bear cub, or a very young bear.
Sometime ago this was posted on carnivora: «Well this is from Russia, a study examining mortality of Amur Tigers since the 1970's. As for male tigers 2 relate to 'fights with brown bears' - one directly & one indirectly.
In 1972 at Komissarovka Pogranichny, a male adult tiger was "killed by bear".
In 1981 at Novo-Vladimirovka, Spassky, an adult male tiger was shot dead after being provoked and attack on hunters; previously it had "been wounded by brown bear " - the" left front paw's wrist had been snapped through, joint pouch torn"
It was 168kg when weighed after death. »
Honestly I question how healthy it were these 2 tiger adult males and how these fights happened.
Especially for the first case.
And yes, bears disput tiger kills ( even some big black bears were reported doing it), and that´s an absurd comment: « lest it become an tiger diet item»... That all depends on how big the brown bear is, nothing more...Because if he´s challenging the tiger or other bear, he isn´t really afraid.
It was reported that tigers avoid areas, on which brown bears are awaking from hibernation, because bears are more willing ( and sometimes more agressive) to usurp tiger kills.
And the fact is that tigers weren´t reported to kill amur adult male brown bears ( these aren´t Kamchatkan/Kodiak sized that´s for sure).
That was summarized at chapter 19, on a relatively recent Siberian Tiger project publication.
Regarding behavior because of other animal presence ( tracking, visual contact, etc...), I wonder if this was forgotten:
«Once during tracking we also noted the following fact: a tiger retreated, not attempting to hunt a large male brown bear in its den.љ The bear had set himself up for the winter in a small depression that he had dug near a fallen, broken-off shrub (Fig. 33), and the bear was quite visible. The tiger, having encountered the bear by chance, abruptly turned around at a distance of more than 25 m from this place and walked in the opposite direction by following his own old tracks. »
And yes, amur brown bears usually avoid to disput carcasses with big tiger males ( that´s absolutely normal) and also tigers don´t hunt and avoid contact with big amur male brown bears. That´s also pretty normal.
Seemingly both species kill the sick, weak and small of each other.
Natural selection at it´s best.

Cat fan much first off female bears have killed 500lb tigers read it and cry cat fan
why do you keep using that incorrect data lol? You seriously think im gonna believe something that doesnt even state the health gender etc of the bears?someones in denial lol.
Take the polar bear lion account. A underweight polar bear managed to severely wound a healthy male lion and it was underweight and suffering from heat exhaustion. Lol whos biased now?
You post records of cats killing brown bears by ambush or attacking weak ass sloth or black ones your useless. If a female brownie can kill a 500lb tiger. A male is overkill.
You have provided NO accounts of tigers killing healthy male brown bears face to face. But I showed even a female brownie can kill a 500lb male tiger. Yet im the bear fan?yea right I told you several times I show bias to neither unlike you buddy.a underweight polar bear suffering from overheating managed to severly wound a healthy lion. A female brownie kills a 500lb tiger. Sloth bear fends off 2 tigers in rapid succesion. And you call me biased? Lol you show vague records of tigers killing unspecified bears lol. Bet not one was male face to face.
Say I have a prob with cats all you want. But the fact is. male brown and polar bears beat cats.period
P.s. That incorrect link that you heavily rely on.no longer works.
Get it straight cat fan. Me and firefly and even ursus debunked your so called "data"
Now this duscussion ends too bad for you and kuri lol.
strike one
Strike two
Strike 3
Strike 4
Strike five
Strike 6 3 tigers died by wounds they got trying to fight 3 different bears. Mix of both genders on each side.bears won all 3
strike 7 the best account yet
I got plenty more buddy. All of these fights were head on...unlike yours. As bears cant ambush cats
1 more thing I dont know why you keep saying cats have more adv. Over bears when lion claws AND ursus clearly voided all your so called "data"here
You buddy are in denial

|Jul 26 2012, 02:29 PM Post #10
That sloth bear, did chased away a pair of bengal tigers, right?
I think that tigers prevail over sloth bears, maybe they were just not interested in fighting as sloth bears can also be painfull to fight, especially if we consider big males or very agressive decently big females. But anyway, in a plain fair fight, gender vs the same gender, I would say that tigers have the best of it.
Regarding brown bears, the outcome is different, especially if we consider the populations with the biggest animals.
Which brown bear sow did killed 500 lbs tiger? That was a captivity account?

Wrong a female bear killed a 500lb tiger
Thats a parity fight there
Bears beat cats at parity.
Take the underweight and heat exhausted polar bear lion fight. A healthy lion severely and I mean SEVERELY wounded by a sickly underweight heat exhausted bear. A female brownie which avg. 250~500lbs kills a 500lb tiger.
What does that imply about face on fights between bears and cats?

Sophia Halkias, Heritage class of 2005-2006:
"Coming up through the centuries, Heritage encourages students through its interdisciplinary nature to see trends across the many factors that shape and explain a particular civilization or historical period . . . Whereas the media offers such a limited view of the world, Heritage provides a fuller sense of society as a dynamic entity shaped by the arts, ideas, and government. Even as I go on to study in a more narrow academic discipline, I now feel as though I have a framework to understand all that I read and learn in the future. Heritage has given me the tools to think critically about my own generation, understand how I fit into the current order, and how I can best create a role for myself in which I am actively a part of my own time and place."
Meagan Malone, Heritage class of 2005-2006:
"The Heritage experience allows for a crucial exploration of some big questions. For me, it was something of a rite of passage into my next three years of study at Millsaps, the primer on the canvas of my education . . . Each lecture prompted a kind of self-evaluation that, by the end of the year, left me willing and anxious to know more."
Cari Taylor, Heritage class of 2003-2004:
"Heritage was the most totally awesome experience I've ever had because the curriculum touches on every aspect of human civilization. We literally went from the beginning of mankind to the world we live in today. Also, the faculty who are involved in the Heritage program are among the most well respected and completely awesome professors on campus and the most awesome professors EVER! Anyone who didn't or doesn't take Heritage has and will miss out on one of the most life changing experiences one can have at Millsaps. I love Heritage! : ) "
Ashley Johnston, Heritage class of 2003-2004:
"You can quote me saying, 'Now that I have regressed to a Community College, I MISS HERITAGE more than anything!!!' . . . and I cannot wait to be back at Millsaps!"
Cat Edwards, Heritage class of 2003-2004:
"Heritage is all about the study groups and making good connections. It's a survey of history and really cool professors on campus! For visual and audio learners, this course is ideal. It was always interesting to hear what was playing as we came in to the room and find out what the speaker was wearing."
Lindsey Topp, Heritage class of 2001-2002:
My whole sophomore year I kept missing Heritage and I wanted to major in Heritage. I got a lot better understanding of the connections in history and I got to go to Sandy Zale's house!"

Erie police charge nine in burglary, robbery ring
Erie police have charged a group of city residents with creating and operating a criminal enterprise that took them to the outer reaches of Erie County in search of guns, high-priced electronics and other valuables that they could convert to cash.
Nine men and women have been charged so far in the ongoing investigation, which dates to late October. The number could nearly double by the time the probe is complete, investigators said Wednesday.
Police allege that the group called itself the Stick Up Kidz, or S.U.K., and operated out of a duplex at 642-644 E. Ninth St. in the city, according to court documents in the case.
Several searches of the apartments in late October led to the seizure of guns, jewelry, televisions, laptop computers and other items.
Seven guns have been recovered so far in the probe, police said Wednesday.
Six of the nine charged in the case were scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday morning for hearings on charges including corrupt organizations, burglary, theft, conspiracy and weapons violations, but the hearings were postponed at the request of Erie police.
They are Javonne Lucas, 20; Vincent Rieger, 26; Marquise K. Barnett, 19; Dwight Gillespie, 26; Tyshawn R. Shields, 19; and Dejahte T. Moffett, 19.
Erie 2nd Ward District Judge Paul Urbaniak, who is handling the cases, did not schedule new hearing dates Wednesday.
Erie police have also issued arrest warrants for three other accused participants: Christopher Barnes, 25; Jullian Mickel, 22; and James Gates, 23.
They remained at large Wednesday.
Police have said that well over a dozen people might ultimately be charged in connection with the alleged criminal enterprise, and that six of the people under investigation are on the Erie Bureau of Police's list of chronically violent offenders.
The investigation by Erie police Detective Sgts. Stanley Green and James Stumpo initially began as an investigation into several burglaries and the theft of some guns, Erie Police Chief Steve Franklin said Wednesday.
"The more they found, the more it took them down the road and they uncovered other crimes," Franklin said. "Eventually it reached the point where they realized they were dealing with a gang of people involved in burglaries and thefts."
The burglaries, according to numerous court documents filed in the case, included the theft of two guns from a Wallace Street residence on Sept. 30; the theft of a rifle, two handguns and three flat-screen TVs from a residence on Luther Road in Fairview Township on Oct. 22; and the theft of jewelry, TVs, laptop computers and other items from a residence on Tannery Road in Girard.
Guns, electronics and other valuables were stolen from other residences in Erie and from three residences in North East Township, according to court documents.
Police said they believe at least some members of the group are responsible for committing at least one attempted home-invasion robbery, as well as the robbery of an Erie convenience store in 2011.
According to information contained in the criminal complaint filed against Gillespie, the property stolen by the group was to be converted into cash "for further financial benefit of the S.U.K. enterprise members and its associates."
Police allege in the complaint that Gillespie got together with other members of the group at the East Ninth Street duplex and spoke of committing criminal acts such as burglaries because they needed to "get some money."
At least some of the stolen jewelry was later sold, according to court documents.
Erie police officers who searched the duplex on several occasions in late October said they found property from nine different burglaries hidden there.

For the next two weeks, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, with the Carson City and Lyon County offices, will increase patrolling for unsafe and distracted drivers.
The sheriff's offices in the three jurisdictions received federal grant funds, said Sgt. Pat Brooks.
"This grant will focus officers' efforts on seat belt usage, pedestrian safety, distracted driving, speeding and the dangers of driving under the influence. Douglas County Sheriff's Office shares the same goals as the other 28 participating law enforcement agencies of 'zero fatalities,'" Brooks said.
The increased patrols begin today. Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Barbara Stapleton said larger volumes of traffic are anticipated on the roads and highways during Thanksgiving.
"We want every motorist to know the importance of buckling up while driving or riding in a motor vehicle. In an effort to increase seat belt usage, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has provided law enforcement agencies and departments of public safety with a federal grant to fund increased patrol throughout the state," Stapleton said.
"Click-it or Ticket" is the country's most successful seat belt enforcement campaign, helping create the highest observed national seat belt usage rate of 82 percent, and 92 percent for Nevada, Stapleton said.
Teens have higher fatality and injury rates in motor vehicle crashes than any other age group, she said.
"One of the most effective measures a teen can take to prevent injury and death in a crash is to wear a seat belt, but the majority of fatally injured teens are not buckled up," Stapleton said.
"While observed seat belt use for teens has risen gradually, the majority of 16-20-year-old vehicle occupants killed in car crashes continue to be unrestrained at 62 percent nationally, and 59 percent in Nevada," she said.

Sloan et al.1 described readministration of salvaged blood to two different patients who subsequently experienced hemoglobinuria and coagulation abnormalities. The authors concluded that this problem is unstudied. I would disagree. Either this event resulted from severe hemolysis from high suction pressures being applied2 or the gross hemolysis was the result of washing with sterile water.3
The two major complications associated with intraoperative blood recovery and readministration (commonly called cell saving) are fatal air embolism and the hemolysis scenario depicted in this case report. The AABB (formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks) has long recognized that intraoperative blood processing is fraught with errors. For this reason, they have created standards and an accreditation process to establish quality systems that may have prevented the cases presented in this case report.
The AABB standards outline the need for some form of quality assessment of the final blood product before readministration. This typically requires assessing clarity and color of the processed blood. If used in these cases, the blood would have been noted to be transparent and purplish in color. Within the case report, the authors note that, retrospectively upon review of the empty bag, there was evidence of gross hemolysis.
In addition to visual assessment, processing of the blood should be monitored for clarity of the effluent wash solution. When the effluent wash solution achieves the same clarity as the normal saline wash, the bowl of blood is adequately washed. If the effluent is grossly red upon termination of the wash cycle, then the blood has either been inadequately washed and needs further washing, or the wrong wash solution has been used.
As with administration of any blood product, personnel processing the shed blood should have adequate training and knowledge to produce a safe product. Taking a manufacturer's course on how to install disposables and operate the equipment may not provide a comprehensive understanding of this technology. Like the AABB, the American Society of Extracorporeal Technology has recognized the lack of adequate knowledge of many users of this equipment. As a result, the American Society of Extracorporeal Technology has implemented a certification process to assess knowledge of blood salvage equipment. Although not a guarantee of proficiency, this process does assure a greater level of competency than is frequently accepted.
In summary, the problems described in this case report offer an opportunity to reevaluate the complacency with which we use blood salvage equipment. I would strongly encourage adoption of the AABB perioperative standards.

My own research centers on the response of San Francisco's Jewish community to the war, including relief work prior to America's entry, contribution to the war effort at the local, state, and federal levels, and the particular difficulties the war raised for the city's Jews of German descent. For some, the war raised troubling questions of family loyalty. Others, after decades of acceptance, succumbed to pressure to anglicize their names. Most divisive of all, however, was the momentum gained during the War for a Jewish state in Palestine. This issue was especially problematic for members of Reform congregations, for whom war work was a demonstration of patriotism and "undivided loyalties." The divisions raised by this issue would only deepen in decades to come.
The second panelist, Diane M.T. North, (Ph.D., UC Davis, 2001) will focus on the work of the California branch of the American Protective League, whose hyper-patriotic volunteer citizen-spies were authorized to assist the Justice Department. The League regarded itself as the country's second line of defense, stretching the boundaries of the law even as its members used the rhetoric of democracy and the legitimate tools of the state. North's paper discusses the relationship between volunteerism and state-sponsored vigilantism and the consequences of the parallel rise of government and citizen-based domestic security operations.

Tide yields another TD on a kickoff return
Last week, it was Virginia Tech. Saturday night, it was Florida International's T.Y. Hilton, who went 96 yards on a kickoff return for the Panthers first score.
Historically, Alabama doesn't give up touchdowns on kickoff returns very often. In fact, it hadn't happened in back-to-back games since. ...
We'll have to get back to you. Consecutive games with kickoff returns is so rare, that not even the Alabama Media Relations Department readily knew the answer.
Where was Julio Jones?
Julio Jones, Alabama's star sophomore wide receiver, played the first series but apparently was shaken up. He sat out the rest of the first half and still was on the bench - sitting -- when the second half started.
Jones caught a pass for a 9-yard gain on the second play of the game. He ran for 5 yards on the fifth play, but he missed a pass from Greg McElroy at the goal line at the end of the opening drive.
After that, he sat on the bench for the rest of the first half and on into the second half.
Senior Mike McCoy stepped in and caught five passes for 100 yards in the first half.
Call it the Double Mac Attack
With sophomore receiver Julio Jones often drawing double coverage, Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy is beginning to look at senior receiver Mike McCoy early and often.
No surprise there. But the production is.
Even by halftime, McCoy had 100 yards receiving, more than double his previous career best of 47, and five catches (one shy of his high mark at Alabama).
McCoy was one of Alabama's leading receivers as a junior, but only had 191 yards in receptions.
All of this, for one point?
After Alabama scored its second touchdown of the game, a 2-yard run by Mark Ingram with eight minutes, 20 seconds left in the second quarter, the ensuing extra point attempt turned into chaos.
The Tide's first PAT attempt was nullified by a false start call on Marcell Dareus, moving the ball back to the 8-yard line.
From the 8, Alabama kicker Leigh Tiffin's kick was good, but Florida International was called for illegal participation when an extra man ran onto the field before the snap of the ball.
Then the confusion started. Alabama could have declined the penalty and accepted the point, but Tide coach Nick Saban accepted the penalty, and the ball moved to the 4-yard line.
It appeared Saban thought the penalty was more than it was, that the ball might be moved close enough to try for a two-point conversion. Alabama wound up having to call a time-out in the confusion.
Finally, Tiffin kicked the extra point again. It was good and Alabama led 20-14.
Alabama-FIU by the numbers
>> Saturday was the 30th game for Alabama running back Roy Upchurch, but the first start of his career. He got the nod because Mark Ingram missed a few days with the flu. Ingram also bruised his knee on his last carry against Virginia Tech. He practiced Monday but missed the next two days with the flu.
>> Also making their first starts were H-back Preston Dial and safety Robby Green.
>> Alabama has been a quick-starting team. The Tide has scored on six of seven first-quarter possessions this season.
>> With two field goals in the first half, Leigh Tiffin tied his father, Van, on Alabama's career list. Van Tiffin has 59 field goals in his f\career. Only two kickers ever converted more field goals: Philip Doyle (78) and Michael Proctor (65).

|The Old Soul Age - Do any of the traits ring true for you?
Member [09%]
I'm posting this here because the traits described here of an "old soul" describe me fairly well, with some mature soul traits mixed in.. interested to see if these traits ring true with any of the INTJs posting here... I have a feeling some of this could be ego food to us INTJs.

The Old Soul Age
At the end of a full life comes the time of old age. Much that can be said about an Old soul is what would be said about an old person. Usually old people have traveled to many places and done many things. They are a storehouse of wisdom and understanding because of this range of experience. But in spite of their competence they do not usually accomplish very much. Because of the age of the body, there is often a tiredness about them that prevents much expenditure of effort. They are quieter than younger people, have a more relaxed lifestyle, and are more subdued in their manner of expression. They have mellowed out considerably compared to their younger days. The energy and excitement of youth is mostly gone. It is very similar with Old souls. They have access through the subconscious to a great wealth of experience. Often they become teachers to pass this knowledge and wisdom on, but to a limited number of students there is little desire or effort to release their understanding into the world in general. In fact, in the last Levels, some Old souls can be so world-weary that they are ready to just lay down and die. Like a person in the last decade of life, the Old soul is "winding down" so to speak, or "in retirement", preparing for death, settling the estate, and tying up loose ends. In terms of the theory of reincarnation, the Old soul is clearing the way for the final break with the physical plane.
Not unlike the Infant soul, but for different reasons, it is rare for an Old soul to make a great contribution to society or culture. The reason for this is that they have largely given up on the world. It just does not seem worth the trouble to spend a lot of energy for things that do not last. Material things just decay anyway, so why invest in that? The other problem is that they are advanced in their perceptions to such an extent that the genius of their contributions would go unappreciated by the great majority of people, the Establishment. Old souls know this and do not even try to get them to see it. Younger souls, who largely control the course of society, cannot understand Old souls, and regard them and their notions as eccentric. Old souls are perceived to be "far out", or "cranks", if they do make themselves noticed. Younger souls are often too busy to stop and really listen to the wisdom of Old souls anyway. For these reasons, Old souls are rarely the movers and shakers of culture. As it is with many young people and old people, the situation is that the younger are out doing their thing and do not have time to listen to the old folks anyway. So the old folks do not even try to communicate. Old souls often have difficulty with self-esteem because their perceptions and values are not shared by the rest of society.
In their social lives, Old souls are often loners. They go their own way, caring little for societal norms. On the fringes of society, they obey the rules of their culture only as required to get by without causing trouble. They have very little attachment to encounters of a casual nature, such as coworkers and neighbors. Even their sense of connection to blood relatives is not very strong. They generally shun heavy entanglements with other people. When they do get involved, it is because there is a strong spiritual bond. By this is meant that either there is a karmic attachment (past-life association), or what Michael calls an "agreement" a contract made between lifetimes to conduct a relationship. A specific case mentioned by Michael is that Old souls seek to be united with the other fragments of their Entity. When Old souls do seek companionship, they often do so in metaphysical groups astrology and tarot classes, psychic endeavors, and so on. Here they will be most likely to meet those with whom they have spiritual connections. They seek out the few others who are like themselves, and form networks of people with similar interests. This is not usually for the purpose of business advancements like Young souls, or for psychological comfort like Mature souls, but just to share being with other Old souls. When Old souls "party", they usually sit around and just talk. In dating situations, they do not need to go anywhere (like to a movie) or do anything (like play games) as a means to developing social intimacy. If the basis for psychological intimacy is not quickly apparent to the Old soul, he will not put himself through much trouble to develop it. It is difficult for Old souls to weld unions with people that they have not been together with in numerous past lifetimes.
Old souls are individualistic they believe that people should basically do whatever they want to do, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. The motto of the Old soul is, "You do what you want, and I'll do what I want". They rarely campaign for anything. They do not want to change the world they just let it be. You might say they have the ultimate "laissez faire" (leave it alone) attitude let nature take its course and don't interfere with the system. "Live and let live" is another appropriate motto for the Old soul. They rarely organize into social clubs which have a hierarchical structure of leaders and followers, or join organizations which promote some cause. Rather, they form loose networks of friends and associates having common interests.
Old souls are operating in a dimension of personality different from the previous Ages. The Child, Juvenile and Young soul Ages are in Aspects of the Negative Processes. The Mature soul Age is an Aspect of the Neutral Process. Old souls are in an Aspect of a Positive Process, Synthesis. This puts them in a class by themselves since the Transcendental and Infinite souls, also in Aspects of Positive Processes, only rarely manifest on the physical plane according to Michael (explained in the following section). And indeed, the Old soul is likely to sense his differentness. He may even think perhaps he does not belong on this planet.
As an Aspect of the Synthesis Process, an Old soul contains some of each of the Synthesis Traits in his personality. Like a person with the Acceptance Goal, the Mature soul is very tolerant of the differences in others and seeks to unify them. Like a person in the Power Mode, they are confident and assured of their abilities. Like a person in the Selfishness Feature, they are hedonistic in their desire to do what they want. Like Sages, they express wisdom to others. Like Idealists, they perceive the unity and beauty in the world. Like people in the Conceptual Center, they respond to situations by including them in their philosophical scheme.
The Old soul is in the process of removing himself from entanglement with the usual affairs of life. He does not have a strong sense of attachment or kinship with the world such as is possessed by younger souls. He wants to purge and purify himself of materialistic connections. His primary motivation becomes the pursuit of some specific life task, or perhaps spiritual refinement.
Like the Child soul, it is unusual for the Old soul to pursue a career as such. That is, he may have a long-term occupation, but it is not his main interest in life. Most often a job is taken which does not overly tax or challenge the Old soul. This leaves him with enough spare energy to pursue his real purposes, such as resolving karmic entanglements, and pursuing truth and wisdom.
Old souls have very few psychological problems to deal with. Presumably, these have been worked through in previous lifetimes. Their subconscious access to depths of experience means that there is very little they do not understand about what is going on, both out in the world and within themselves. But Old souls do have one significant problem, and that is that they are subject to psychological depression. All the soul Ages can be, to some extent, but especially the Old soul. The reason for this is that, to them, life seems heavy and boring "life is a drag". They perceive that it is all a game, a contrived situation, and they no longer want to play the game. They feel like they have seen it all, so what is there left to live for? The material pursuits of Young souls seem quite futile to them, so what is there to get interested in? Even the Mature soul's excitement about newfound truth seems passé to Old souls. This ennui can severely limit an Old soul's happiness and well-being, and be a source of misunderstanding for younger souls who are enjoying life. Whether he understands it consciously or not in terms of reincarnation, the Old soul simply wants to graduate from the physical plane, and go on to new and better things in the higher planes.
But most Old souls do come around to the understanding of reincarnation at some time in their lives, even in countries where this is not taught as a dogma. It is possible for a person at any Age and Level to have an appreciation of this metaphysical tenet, but to most Old souls it seems intuitively obvious. This is one of the perceptions that is inherent by reason of the depth of contact with the subconscious present in the Old soul.
Old souls are typically easy for other people to get along with. They are usually agreeable associates because they know how to be gracious. The worst that can be said about Old souls is that they are often detached and aloof, perhaps even uninvolved. Younger souls do not understand this, although they may admire the fact that an Old soul can remain so cool in situations that younger souls find upsetting. There is not much in an Old soul that can offend a younger soul, though there is much that can be misunderstood by him. To some it may seem that Old souls do not care. It is more accurate to say that they are nonattached. They do not make much investment in what is going on around them, and do not have strong expectations for any particular outcome. Whatever will be will be, so why fight reality? Old souls inherently perceive the broader perspective. They see that the world rolls on, day after day, year after year, millennium after millennium, with the same basic stories being told time after time with minor variations. Old souls know the big lesson of the whole Maturation cycle, and that is nonjudgmental acceptance of anything and everything. What little they cannot abide, Old souls simply avoid. Rarely do they seek to change things.
Old souls tend to follow the course of greatest efficiency. They seem to glide effortlessly through life. They "go with the flow", and they "follow the path of least resistance". Younger souls regard this as sheer laziness lack of drive and willpower. This trait has its advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is that they are graceful and gracious when it comes to dealing with other people. The disadvantage is that they may lack the initiative to do what could be done. They often come up with great and innovative ideas because of their advanced and efficient perceptions, but they lack the energy to bring them to completion.
It is not intended that the above comments be used by Old souls as excuses for laziness and indifference. Once an Old soul realizes the cause of his condition, he can then take steps to mitigate it or direct it wisely. He need not pursue the goals of younger souls or share their value systems, but he can take his legitimate place as a valuable member of society if he wants to. As with senior citizens, just because the Old soul is "retired" does not mean he is worthless and powerless. Indeed, an Old soul can bring considerable wisdom and competence to bear in fulfilling a significant life task.
Because of their advanced perceptions, Old souls are inherently ethical in behavior, feeling, and thought. They do not have to be taught right and wrong by parents or society. There is some socializing to be done when they are children of course, but the programming for decency, honesty, and integrity is inborn. It is as if they are grown-up even when they are children. They always feel like they are older than their chronological age. They are conscientious and responsible. They are not usually jealous, envious, possessive, or pushy any one of a number of things which involve attachment to other people. When Old souls are dealing with these ethical issues, it is with their subtle aspects. They are gentle toward the faults of others. The harsh perceptions often present in younger souls are absent here. They rarely perceive actions as being truly evil. Rather, they regard things that cause suffering as foolish and primitive, and they seek to cure the cause of the problem by imparting mature knowledge and understanding.
Old souls try to maintain neutrality in time of war. It is part of their nonattachment. There are certain nations listed by Michael as being primarily populated by Old souls, such as Switzerland, Holland, and Iceland, who value their independence and neutrality in political issues. Switzerland plays host to the Young soul nations at the Geneva peace talks, but does not get involved in their Young soul do-it-my-way games. If Old souls care anything for politics, it is that they are pacifists. Most often they are simply apolitical they do not get involved with it at all.
Old souls have a universal perspective. They are not so much involved in family issues like Child souls, or tribal issues like Juvenile souls, or national issues like Young souls, or global issues like Mature souls. Old souls see the cosmic picture. Old souls see themselves and others as parts of a larger system another Synthesis Process perception. Their attention is on the workings of this system. They see how all parts of the system relate to each other rather than getting lost in the petty details. The depth of wisdom of Old souls shows in their eyes. They have a direct, penetrating stare it looks right through you, seeming to know. Profound issues are their concern, not the trivial. In their efficiency, they want to get right to the heart of the matter and skip all the superficialities.
Old souls are casual and easygoing about everything. Nothing is any big deal to them. Almost never are they outrageous or outlandish. They are rarely concerned with outward appearances external image or formal trappings. In extreme cases they can even appear sloppy in clothes or habitat. Rarely are they overly concerned with what other people think.
Old souls pursue education with the same casual attitude as they do everything else in life. Grades are of very little value to them. The learning itself isn't all that important unless it furthers a specific life task. Old souls tend to cut out the material pursuits that occupy so much of the time and energy of younger souls, and concentrate what little energy they have on spiritual integrity. By this is meant the need to understand the truth, and the reason for things. Old souls rarely participate in organized religion. They are often drawn rather to metaphysics, mysticism, philosophy, and the occult in their quest for understanding. It is difficult for them to synthesize their physical with their spiritual selves. They often seek unorthodox and holistic medicine rather than going to the medical establishment.
In some ways, it can be said that Old souls are in the most difficult Age. In the first place, they do not fit in with the culture so they are often thought bizarre. They are definitely out of the mainstream of society and care little for its formal institutions. In the second place, they are often too world-weary to do what needs to be done to solve their own problems, let along anyone else's .Since they tend to follow the path of least resistance, unless they feel internal and external forces pushing them, they don't go anywhere or do anything. No matter how much they might need it for building Character, they will only tolerate just a certain amount of stress in any given situation. Then they will get depressed and just chuck it all and move on. In the third place, there is a certain arrogance in Old souls in that they often feel they cannot learn from younger souls. They are aware of their maturity, even if only subliminally, and regard younger souls as foolish. This is not truly wise. There is always much to learn, even from one's juniors. In the fourth place, there is very little left that Old souls want to experience in life. They feel like they have done it all so why bother to do more? "There is nothing new under the sun" is another good motto for the Old soul.
Even sex is not highly prized by the Old soul. He is usually competent therein, but his lack of interest for it, and the lack of passion in it, can be disconcerting to younger souls who still prize sex highly. Old souls are often hedonistic and sensual, however, and can have a bawdy sense of humor. Old souls are often androgynous (having balanced masculine and feminine characteristics), and occasionally bisexuality is a part of their lifestyle. Gender identification is often weak in this Age because of subconscious contact with the whole psyche, which includes both masculine and feminine characteristics. What the Old soul seeks in romantic relationships is a "soul mate" someone to whom he relates on a soul level. This might be someone else with whom he has spent many lifetimes, or another soul in his own Entity. The drive for this is so strong that it could be described as a compulsion.
Like an old person, the Old soul is in the process of withdrawing from the physical plane. He does not want to make an investment in something that he regards as ephemeral and transitory. The motivation now is for spiritual purity. Most of the Monads which it is established for the Old soul to complete have to do with being, rather than doing (like the Young soul) or feeling (like the Mature soul). The Old soul just is. He simply experiences life as it passes through his consciousness. He is not unlike an Infant soul in that he often leads a simple life. He does not want to complicate it with intense relationship entanglements and severe challenges. In a reincarnational sense, Old souls are paying off final karma, and they do not want to incur any more, so they play it safe by remaining apart from the heavy drama that entertains younger souls.

The links are not working at this time, but the article was interesting. I know there is nothing particularly logical about this, but I have always felt older than my age. Indeed, one of my earlier memories was standing outside my preschool and thinking, "I'm not four... I've been around for hundreds of years!" As an adult, I have come to quietly believe in reincarnation, although the concept did creep me out at first.
I'm not sure if I'd be an "old" or "mature" soul per the links... or perhaps somewhere in between. I definitely have a lot of contempt for pursuits that others consider normal, such as nationalism or sports. Most, but not all, of the pasted article applies (as it might for any intelligent person, my inner skeptic hastens to add). I still get pretty excited about a good beer, though. There's no way I'm leaving the material plane anytime soon if they don't have good alcohol at the "higher" levels.

I originally joined the some other forum to post about this. I also found that I fit the description well, but the INTP folks weren't having it. I joined that forum on the basis of the results of an MBTI test I took in high school that said I was an INTP, but I took the test again last night and it came up as INTJ (only slightly expressed J). I also felt very comfortable with the whole philosophy that surrounds the idea of old souls. My thread is here:

the other week. That was the first time I read about soul age and accompanying philosophies. I've never read anything that has described me so well. After I read it, I remembered a moment from when I was 8 or 9 years old. I was standing in my driveway and I thought, "well, I have learned all the essentials about living." Obviously there were more things to learn, but to some extent I think there was some truth to that.
When I say that the description fits me well, I mean I can literally check off every single thing that is in that passage. In addition I have been lucky enough to have done a lot of traveling when I was a kid. I feel this might have been a big part of my catching up in this life. Elsewhere on the site it also says that there were pockets of old souls born in the 80's in the USSR, which is where I am from.
In general, this just seems to explain so much about the world. I've never found a anything that sat so well with me.
But after my initial burst of enthusiasm, I settled down and examined the weaknesses of this system of ideas. The most obvious is that the source of this information is a bunch of channeled spirits. There are also a number of problems that come with the philosophy. For example, the caste system in India. Are higher castes correct in treating untouchables the way they do? It doesn't seem right. But is could it just be "young soul" foolishness? I can't say.

It always struck me as a nice feel good tale. Though what you have posted there, is certainly a bit deeper and more earthy, than half the new age stuff about these days.
How can one soul be older than another? To me that is just crazy. It seems a class division system, under the guise of newage banter.
Every contributor to this thread (so far) is quite new. I look forward to your introductions in the 'introductions' section.

As I understand it, it's not that one soul is actually older than another, it's that one has been at the 'game' longer. By game I mean taking human form. According to the magical spirits who delivered this knowledge, your soul was just hanging out on the 'soul plane' for a while until you decided to take on the challenge of life as a human, which entails about 10,000 years of reincarnation until you've learned all your lessons.

Reminds me of a story I once heard about an old man and a bucket, that went something like:
There was an old man who had disposed of all his worldly possessions, except for a bucket. One day he woke up to find that someone had stolen his bucket, to which he responded "Free at last".
He no longer had anything material to really concern himself about.

The articles about dividing people into a few large and encompassing categories does provide a good idea of the basic types of people. After reading each of the profiles of ages and reflecting how and which best describe myself, I will say the old age along with a few traits from the mature age applied best.
The world we all live in at the moment seems concerned with the mundane and fairly meaningless topics in the grand scale of things in the end. My life is simple with few entanglements and with few material possessions. I feel like a stranger in today's world because it is mostly concerned with success and material values such as who has the largest pay check, who has the largest residence and who has the best-looking trophy wife, if you'll excuse the expression. Time and the universe moves along and it waits nor cries for no one, people, places and empires come and go all the time, it's part of the deal.
As for some criticism mainly regarding the old soul age, this has a cosmic sense that we are somehow beings in a transitory stage of a larger journey. I do not believe in reincarnation or that karma has a universality in the eyes of a master creator who will judge you once your time is up in this present world. Despite the rather spiritual focus, Michael teachings are actually fairly through in describing people and their traits, at least in my opinion.

Hey, so did I! I was utterly wrong. Now, again, I think I've figured quite a bit out. I'm sure I'm barely less wrong than my 9-year-old self.

Sleep Tips
One third of your time at the Corinthia will be spent sleeping and so it makes sense to do all you can to ensure that you achieve the best night of slumber possible. Learn how to achieve a great night's sleep with these top ten tips.
The Bedroom
The best sleep is achieved in a cool, quiet, dark and comfortable bedroom as this limits the amount of sensory stimulation received by the waking centre in the brain and allows sleep to emerge. If you find sleeping in a new environment a challenge, especially for the first night, then come prepared with your own ear plugs, eye mask and pillows. If you need something extra, just ask Corinthia London for help in creating your perfect sleep haven.
Being mentally and physically relaxed in the day leads to biological changes within your brain and body that deepens your sleep during the night. Allow yourself to unwind by heading to the spa and having a massage or simply take time out to read a good book in the comfort of the hotel.
Eat Healthily
For a more restful night's sleep limit the stimulants in your diet. Aim to drink no more than 2- 3 caffeinated drinks (like coffee, tea and soda) per day and none past 2pm. Whilst alcohol may help you to fall to sleep, it inhibits your ability to move into Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, hence us experiencing early morning awakenings after a heavy night. Aim to limit your consumption and always drink alcohol with a meal. Ideally leave at least two hours before going to bed for it clear from your body, as one unit of alcohol is metabolised by the body in about an hour.
Be Active
Being active and performing regular exercise is proven to increase your sleep drive, making it easier to fall to sleep, as well as, deepening your sleep. Make use of the gym and pool at ESPA Life at Corinthia or simply go for a walk around town to tire out your muscles and release relaxing endorphins. Aim to exercise during the day or late afternoon, but avoid doing it too late as this may disrupt your sleep.
Wind Down
Watching TV, answering emails or checking Facebook in bed requires a level of mental processes akin to daytime, thus unhelpfully stimulating the waking centre in your brain. This makes it harder to fall asleep and leaves you experiencing lighter, non-restorative sleep. Get into the habit of switching off all electronic devices around 30 minutes before going to bed, dimming the lights and enjoying a calming book to tell your brain that sleep is on its way.
Keep On Time
Your sleep is kept on time by your internal body clock, a mass of 20,000 clock cells found just behind your eyes, hence why going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time everyday isa proven method to achieving good quality sleep. If you need to stay up late, aim to still get up close to your natural rise time as this will prevent disturbing your next night's sleep.
Night Time Waking
Your body naturally wakes four to five times per night as it briefly transitions between sleep cycles. Originally designed to check for impending danger, such awakenings can offer an opening for worry to take hold fuelling night time wakefulness. Let go of such worries and be in the moment by objectively describing the touch of your duvet on your toes or the gentle movement of air in and out your nose.
Stay In Bed
If you are awake at night avoid turning on the light to read, watching TV or playing with your phone. The light emitted from such electronic devices unhelpfully stimulates the light sensitive cells in your eyes, releasing the waking hormone cortisol waking you up. Instead, choose to stay in bed in the dark and conserve your energy by lying still and being calm.
Cat Nap
Napping is a highly effective and quick way of recharging your batteries in the middle of the day. Research has also proven it to boost creative problem solving, memory processing, focus and attention. Aim to nap between midday and 3pm to tap into your body clock's natural sleepy period and always limit it to less than 30 minutes.
Jet Lag
If your journey to the hotel involved crossing time zones you will undoubtedly be suffering from jet lag. Minimise its effect by syncing your internal body clock to the local time zone by getting out in natural light - as well as eating, working, socialising and sleeping at the local time.
