New Orleans attracts visitors from all over the world. The city is recognized for its famous Mardi Gras events, exquisite down-home Southern cuisines and lively spirits. Besides the presence of fanfare and mellow cheers in the French Quarter, manifestations of the dead seem to appear around certain parts of the city.
Spiritual talks, apparition sightings and conjuring voodoo spells are nothing new for residents in New Orleans. In fact, these spirits seem to have found a way to reconnect with their beloved city.
Eager visitors can be found wandering the downtown streets listening to ghost stories told by tour guides. If you ever get a chance to venture around the French Quarter, make plans to go on one of these paranormal outings. Although some people shy away from these scary exhibitions, others may find it quite interesting to learn about the history behind each ghost story.
Many homes in Louisiana have a tale to tell behind each beam, window and door. The stories have been infused into the very foundation of these homes. One example is the infamous Lalaurie mansion. This residence still resonates in the minds of citizens in the French Quarter. The murders that took place there continue to captivate the city.
Marie Delphine Lalaurie and her third husband, physician Leonard Louis Nicholas Lalaurie, moved into the home in 1832. The couple resided at 1140 Royal Street not far from Voodoo priestess Queen Marie Laveau — who was thought to have special powers over the city.
Lalaurie and Laveau were powerful women during the antebellum period of New Orleans when money and greed ruled the high-class society.
The art of manipulation was in full swing as money was no object for Madame Lalaurie. She supplied her home with the best furnishings, silverware and paintings. Known for hosting parties with high society elites and having political ties in the city, it was only a matter of time before folks discovered Madame Lalaurie's devilish ways.
In 1836, neighbors gave eyewitness testimony about the death of 12-year-old Leah. Leah was one of Madame Lalaurie's slaves. As the story goes, Leah was brushing her mistress's hair until she hit a tangle. Immediately, Madame Lalaurie responded by grabbing her whip and running after the little girl.
What happened next was tragic. To escape the lashing, Leah ran to the roof of the home. Frantically looking back, trying to avoid the lashing, she fell to her death.
The city of New Orleans charged Madame Lalaurie a $300 fine for cruelty and made her release nine slaves. But that was not the end of the story. Needless to say, she continued to abuse her slaves.
On April 10, 1834, a fire broke out at the Lalaurie mansion. Firemen responded and found a 70-year old slave woman, the cook, chained to the stove. The old woman confessed to starting the fire in an attempt to avoid punishment from Madame Lalaurie.
The Lalauries were entertaining company when the fire broke out. Eyewitness accounts say that Madame Lalaurie was more concerned with retrieving the items from her home than helping her servants out of the fire.
As firefighters rescued the servants they made a grim discovery when they reached the third floor attic.
From the New Orleans Bee written in April 11, 1834:
"Upon entering one of the apartments the most appalling spectacle met their eyes. Several slaves more or less horribly mutilated, were seen suspended from the neck, with their limbs apparently stretched and torn from one extremity to the other. Language is powerless and inadequate to give a proper recollection of the horror which a scene like this must have inspired."
As a result, people at the scene of the fire spoke of the atrocities that were going on inside the home. They found naked slaves bound and chained to the walls inside the attic. It was even speculated that some individuals were used for human experimentation.
Public outrage poured and boiled over as citizens vandalized the home. In the end, the Lalauries quietly slipped away.
Madame Lalaurie and her husband were said to have fled to Paris but nobody really knows. The Lalaurie home is listed as one of the most haunted mansions in America.
Over the years, there have been several sightings of Leah standing on the roof and Madame Lalaurie herself walking the grounds of the home.

The Cavaliers have invited former Richmond point guard Kevin Anderson to training camp, which will begin on Tuesday at Cleveland Clinic Courts. The 6-foot Anderson was the 2009-10 Atlantic 10 player of the year. Undrafted in 2011, he played last season in France, where he averaged 12.5 points, 3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. The addition of Anderson gives the Cavs 19 players.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- Stock up on snacks and claim your spot on the couch, because Tampa Bay has a doozy of a sports weekend ahead.
If you're a "sometimes" fan of Tampa Bay's sports teams, this weekend is the perfect time to go full-time.
Postseason tickets for the Tampa Bay Rays go on sale at 1 p.m. Friday.
You can buy Rays playoff tickets online at raysbaseball.com and then print them out or pick them up at the Tropicana Field box office before the Wild Card playoff game, which is currently set for Wednesday.
Of course, the Rays have to actually make the playoffs before they can play in that game. But that keeps looking better and better. They beat the Yankees on Thursday night and have won 12 of their last 15 games.
The Rays have three regular season games left. They're in Toronto Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The Rays can clinch a playoff spot Friday night if they win and the Texas Rangers lose. In fact, through the weekend, any combination of two Rays wins and two Rangers losses put the Rays into the postseason.
The Rays' Friday game is on TV at 7 p.m.
The boys on the other side of the bay, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will also be on TV this weekend.
In something of a shocker, the team has promised no more TV blackouts all season.
That means they're likely committing to buy up the remaining unsold tickets for each game at a discount. Then they'd meet the NFL's attendance requirements and be allowed to show the games on TV.
See Also: Alternate route to Sunday's Bucs game
In TV or in person, the next Bucs game will be one to watch. Coach Greg Schiano has benched quarterback Josh Freeman.
The team has started the season with three losses. So Sunday, we'll get our first look at rookie Mike Glennon the Bucs' new starting QB.
You can watch the Bucs in person or on TV, Sunday at 1 p.m.
Also, the USF Bulls play Saturday at noon at Raymond James Stadium, and the Tampa Bay Lightning start their season on Thursday in Boston.

Men arrested after cell phone scam
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (WSVN) -- Two men have been arrested after one of them pulled a gun on a teen trying to sell his cellular phone.
The teen victim said he never thought trying to sell his cell phone on-line would lead to a gun to his head. "One got in my passenger seat and another got in my back seat," said the victim. "And I showed them the phone and the one in the passenger seat grabbed it, and then the guy behind me put a gun to my head."
His life was put on the line when two robbers pulled a gun on him in Coral Springs. "The situation wasn't real till after. Then I was like, yeah, I could have been shot," said the teen.
The plan was to meet at a mall parking lot. Instead, police said, 24-year-old Deandre Chambers and 17-year-old Marc Jean, convinced the teen to make the sale in an isolated apartment complex.
After the robbers threatened the victim with a gun and stole his phone, the victim followed them into a mall parking lot and honked his horn to try to get help.
Police said the victim should have noticed a red flag when his prospective buyers changed their meeting place. "He was lured away to an area of an apartment complex, which is much more isolated," said Sergeant Brad McKeone. "So in that case, stay with your first instinct."
The victim said he and his friend use a group page on Facebook where people from all over the country can sell anything from phones, shoes and cars.
McKeone said, "Try a traditional method of sale wither its an Ebay or Paypal, something that's more safe."
Two similar incidents occurred a week ago when two sellers tried to sell their dirt bikes and got scammed. The alleged buyer drove off with the bike without paying.
The victim said said he will continue to use the site but will be more aware of the red flags.
Chambers and Jean were arrested and charged with one count of armed robbery.

President launches study to stem U.S. gun violence
Task force formed in wake of Newton school shooting massacre
The application of the Rights given under the Second Amendment has come under much public scrutiny following the massacre at the Sandy Hooke Elementary School in Newton Connecticut. In response, U.S. President Barack Obama has launched a task force to examine options to stem gun violence in America.
The president expects firearm owners to understand the need for new regulations in the wake of the Connecticut shooting spree that killed 20 young children.
Obama has also called on Congress to move swiftly to reinstate the federal assault weapons ban coupled with a ban on the sale of high-capacity magazines. The president repeated those calls this past weekend and said he would meet with lawmakers on both sides of the aisles to see action.
"I've been very clear that an assault-rifle ban, banning these high capacity clips, background checks, that there are a set of issues that I have historically supported and will continue to support," the president said.
"I'd like to get it done in the first year. I will put forward a very specific proposal based on the recommendations that Joe Biden's task force is putting together as we speak. And so this is not something that I will be putting off."
Tough political opposition is expected from the nation's largest gun lobby, the National Rifle Association (NRA), saying they will oppose any new restrictions.
The NRA had earlier held a press conference calling for a national program to place armed guards in the nation's schools, which they said would be more effective at preventing future tragedies like in Newtown.
Obama said he expressed unease with the NRA's proposal.
"I am not going to prejudge the recommendations that are given to me. I am skeptical that the only answer is putting more guns in schools. And I think the vast majority of the American people are skeptical that that somehow is going to solve our problem," he said.
The president expects firearm owners to understand the need for new regulations in the wake of the Connecticut shooting spree that killed 20 young children.
"I think there are a vast majority of responsible gun owners out there who recognize that we can't have a situation in which somebody with severe psychological problems is able to get the kind of high-capacity weapons that this individual in Newtown obtained and gun down our kids," Obama said.

If the President wants to talk gun control he can start by allowing that if his hands are not tied by congress the ATF to release the information they collect but cannot release by order of congress of the types of weapons used in crimes ,I was surprise to hear this the other day by somebody writing a book on how the NRA.has devolved into a lobby for the gun industry and that the industry face with the fact that young people are not picking up hunting had to come up with a new product !and turn to assault guns the type of weapon carried by action game heros to fill lost production in shotguns and deer rifles .

Happy to hear the president Obama is taking a 'comprehensive approach' including the mental health in dealing with ' gun crime' in the US. However, mental health is not something that artificially inculcated into another man, although the state can provide environment to develop which is " already within" ie. the image and likeness of God- Love and affection every person craves for. Family is the garden where " fa"- father and " mi" mummy living in unity in the Biblical spirit," What God united, man shall not separate" produces " glee" to the offspring , that they too becomes the partakers of integrity, unity of body, mind and soul. This could be achieved in a culture where " love of God and love of neighbor" ( not fear of God and fear of neighbor") exists. As a matter of fact, promotion of spiritual and moral values only can create " mental health" concretely experienced first in the family, then in the school and neighborhood. It cannot be achieved through counseling centers which can only alleviate, not fully healed. ultimately Jesus (Church) alone is the question and Jesus alone is the answer even while respecting the religious tenet of those living around.

Obama is no more "exploring ways of stopping gun violence" than he was exploring "ways of affordable care" by shoving a draconian freedom-robbing government takeover of individuals' health care down our throats.
It is abundantly clear to anyone who even remotely cares about freedom and truth that our current President is an ideological Marxist seeking to grab as much dictatorial power as he can without causing a massive civil rebellion. . As a dedicated and transparent Marxist he is in favor of anything that takes away individual freedom and promotes government control of every facet of a citizen's life. . -

May I point something out? Despite the caption on the picture, according to the article it's attached to here, what the President has called for is a study on what can be done to end gun violence. Nowhere does this artcle even suggest he's "called for gun control." The picture isn't really representative of the article. And in truth, I can't imagine any real Catholic will suggest that exploring ways of stopping gun violence is the wrong thing to do.

There are so many variables at play here, each in its own way infringes on someone 's Constitutional Rights : media groups will claim Freedom of Speech, as the pornography industry has for decades: gun owners, the right to bear arms : mentally ill, right to be free of unlawful detainment and the right to refuse treatment. These isssues need to be addressed at the local level, however local governments have been stripped of the ability to do so by an increasing number of unfunded federal mandates. What is needed are stronger families! What is needed desperately by these young men are FATHERS!! A young man is most aggressive at the ages of appx. 16-24. They have no strong fathers in the home teaching them how to channel that aggression in a constructive way. No matter how loving a single mother is, she is not a father. Society is doing this to itself. No amount of federal regulation will give a boy a father!

The NRA is advocating a national program to provide armed guards in our nation's schools. Do they have any idea just how we will pay for this at a time when we are already complaining about too much taxation and too much government spending? It mystifies me that we complain about too much government spending while advocating more government spending in the same breath.

Obama is very good at talking about things like gun control, immigration reform, abortion rights, gay marriage, etc but very short on action. This is because these things spring very easily from his mouth and he does not have to concentrate on the economy, joblessness, housing problems, the inflation of the dollar, this us understandable because he does not know anything about these problems.......

What does reading aloud do for a family in crisis?
Ward, Geoff (2007) What does reading aloud do for a family in crisis? Proceedings of the CROCCS 5th International Conference: Overcoming Violence & Poverty. CROCCS 5th International Conference: Overcoming Violence & Poverty , 3-5 AUG 2007, Mackay, QLD, Australia , pp. 74-80.

There is ample documentation of the role of bedtime story and other read-aloud experiences in the success or difficulty for children in learning early school literacy. Children who have been read to a lot almost always have an easier start to success in reading than do those who have had little or no exposure to reading in the home before they start school. What is the experience with read-alouds of children in such difficult circumstances as finding themselves in emergency accommodation? How can mothers who are in this particular situation be helped to provide the kinds of literacy effects that will support family relationships and build the chances of their children succeeding in learning to read? If the mothers themselves are not well equipped to provide this kind of experience, how can they be assisted to understand the benefits of reading aloud and to develop the personal skills to do so? This paper begins an exploration of the issues in this complex situation, and proposes a pilot study and project to work with mothers in Family Emergency Accommodation, providing literacy experiences and reading materials for the mothers and children.

Rustic Retreat
This rickety old arbor in an unimproved area of this garden seemed an unlikely place for an intimate outdoor room. It was shorter than normal--about 7 feet tall instead of the typical 8 feet or taller. Nevertheless, it became an informal retreat. The patio beneath is paved with randomly cut flagstone that's mortared in place for easy maintenance. An unmortared flagstone path, designed to match the arbor's rustic style, leads to the patio.

ABC News 25 November 2012
A Canberra psychology researcher has confirmed what many have long suspected – video games can be just as addictive as gambling or alcohol.
As part of her PhD at the Australian National University, Olivia Metcalf found excessive gamers were unable to stop thinking about gaming when they tried to focus on other tasks. This "attentional bias" is a phenomenon found across heroin, alcohol and gambling addictions. "We didn't find that pattern in people who play video games but don't experience any negative symptoms," Ms Metcalf said. "So it's not something that occurs because you do a behaviour a lot. It's some sort of change that occurs in your attention system, in your brain, when an addiction is developing. "So we found this core sign of addiction in these thinking systems of these people who play games excessively." Ms Metcalf says her research is some of the first scientific evidence that video gaming can be addictive. "We know that people are gaming excessively but we're not sure yet what type of problem that is," she said. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-11-25/gaming-as-addictive-as-gambling/4390920

you guys.... :D
1000+ posts.
Touche sir.
Cheap alternatives to speed... I need a list. NOW.
Atrophex. Available at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.
Also improves mood, so if you're a bit depressive it'll help.
Ooooh I think we have GNC up here in the tundra. I'll have to see. Does it cause motivation?
Yes. It will spike your blood pressure a bit. I'd recommend following the direction unless you're used to meth or coke.
Yo yo yiggity yo!
So Nikki would not really need the directions.
@meat seeker Piracetam causes motivation but it's spendy. It's like cocaine but without the stupidity and jitters. I get mine off amazon. Spendy though. I take 4 to 5 grams a day. Usually split in two doses.
Is that how you make your eyes glow like that?
Something like that. It causes extreme lust too. You might have to jump your ax.
Well I do that anyway! Would I get it done faster?
Totally quicker and longer.
Uhhhh... I mean.. Bonus!
yaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy fun and fucking excitement I have an empty house for the weekend.
That's always nice!
Speaking of drugs and boners... anyone tried 'poppers'?! I totally want to but have no clue where to get them.
Yeah I have. Feels weird, man. Like an uppercut inside your head. You get them at clubs, i think.
Yikes. I am too much of a baby to take anything given to me at a club. I've only smoked pot. Once. It didn't take. I just thought they sounded cool. Increased sexual everything, yeah!
well amyl does. gave me a massive boner and fucked up my heartbeat. it was fun, but never again.
We use Amylnitrate as a chemical warfare medication. Not surprised it fucked you up.
well amyl is a stimulant.
Blah screw poppers. GHB now there ya go.
hGH. Now there's some shit.
Nah nah you got it all wrong ketamine is where it's at. Lol
I'd do heroin with Nikki and Laurance. Jus sayin.
Lol jack no heroin for me!
Okie dokie. More for us haha.
Y'all gonna end up like Amy Winehouse.
hahahah aliensoul. you cracked me up.
I had no idea there were so many things you could get high off of.
Arkadia I hope you are being sarcastic.
I prefer to main line whiskey into my eyeball.
I used to give IV shots of vodka. It is very interesting to see the effects.
Not really being sarcstic. Although pondering on it I guess I always knew that a lot of things that 'get you high' go into the 'basic' drugs you hear about. LCD and Coke and Meth and maybe some of those are the same thing haha.
I'm honestly clueless when it comes to that stuff.
no. this thread won't die, it is unstoppable!
<----- won't let this thread die, either.
<----currently winning.
^^^ forever losing ^^^
lies and slander!
I am the master of battle.
Just because voices in your head say it, doesn't make it true.
Master of battle you say. Interesting.
Interesting and true. You find yourself in a bit of a pickle, Mr. Diaz.
Actually I wrote a rough. It turned out to be rubbish and then I sobered up and have a kickass idea now. I'm really excited to see where the character takes me.
That...doesn't look like John Cusack
Young Cusak. Think Better Off Dead Cusak.
Sweet! Why don't you talk to that character you've got and ask them if they're willing to take me somewhere, too. Then I can also be excited.
Which one the dude in the middle with the smoke? Looks like him to me...

Posted: 06/13/2012
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - The average American family's net worth dropped almost 40 percent between 2007 and 2010, according to a triennial study released Monday by the Federal Reserve.
The stunning drop in median net worth - from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010 - indicates that the recession wiped away 18 years of savings and investment by families.
The Fed study, called the Survey of Consumer Finances, offers details on savings, income, debt, as well as assets and investments owned by American families.
The results, though more than a year old, highlight the marked deterioration in household finances brought on by the financial crisis and ensuing recession.
Much of the drop off in net worth - to levels not seen since 1992 - was attributable to a sharp decline in housing values, the Fed said.
In 2007, the median homeowner had a net worth of $246,000. Three years later that number had fallen to $174,500, a loss of more than $70,000 on average.
Families who reside in the west and south, where the housing market was especially hard hit by the recession, were worse off than their peers in the rest of the country.
Making matters worse, income levels also fell during the tumultuous three-year period, with median pre-tax income falling 7.7 percent as earnings from capital gains all but disappeared.
The loss of income and net worth appears to have impacted savings rates, as the number of Americans who said they saved in the prior year fell from 56.4 percent in 2007 to 52.0 percent in 2010 -- the lowest level recorded since the early 1990s.
At the same time, some families were able to escape from debt, as the share of families with debt decreased slightly to 74.9 percent over the three-year period. Credit card use was down, and the median account balance fell 16.1 percent .
Meanwhile, families who did report carrying debt showed little change in the degree of indebtedness over the period.
Lower interest rates helped keep debt levels down, but the number of Americans who had fallen more than 60 days behind on debt payments still grew from 7.1 percent to 10.8 percent in 2010.
The report also indicated that families with more assets at the start of the recession were able to retain more of their net worth than less fortunate families.
Families in the top 10 percent of income actually saw their net worth increase over the period, rising from a median of $1.17 million in 2007 to $1.19 million in 2010.
Meanwhile, middle-class families who ranked in the 40th to 60th percentile of income earners reported that their median net worth fell from $92,300 to $65,900 over the same time period.

Last Updated: Friday - 09/24/2010Week of March 17, 2008Sask. womans novel ministry promotes purityHer stories show difference between courting, dating
By DEBORAH GYAPONG
Its a fabulous thing to see young people embracing the message of not dating as the world dates. |
"It's a fabulous thing to see young people embracing the message of not dating as the world dates," she said.
"Now we're sitting in a culture that has no limitations and our young people are hungry for truth," she said. "They've seen the pain and devastation of parents' marriages that ended in divorce, single parenting, the hardship. They want something better and different."
Marcoux, often with her 17-year-old daughter at her side, urges young people to get out of the dating game until they are ready for marriage.
"Because dating is such a casual, recreational thing, people get hooked into these long-term relationships and they don't know how to get out of them," she said.
"Even those committed to chastity become emotionally entangled and are not free to enjoy the gifts of their singleness," she said. Instead young people should be developing their talents, and experiencing life through travel and a variety of friendships.
Marcoux recognizes there is an immense social pressure to date, as if "you are a nobody until you have a somebody."
Most young people who date "have a real dependency on that for their identity," she said, noting it reflects "personal insecurity."
Those insecurities need to be addressed so they "are free to step out of the dating culture."
"Those who do just shine, they stand out among their peers," she said. "You can see a difference. They have chosen to dedicate themselves, to be open to God's will for their lives, to invest in their relationship with Jesus."
Marcoux encourages young people to embrace what God is calling them to in their lives and not to be afraid of exploring whether he is calling them to the priesthood, religious consecrated life, or the single life instead of marriage.
"Whatever God's calling is on your life is where you will be happiest," she said.
When a young person decides he or she is ready for marriage, then Marcoux advises courtship, not dating.
As a discernment process, courtship will either result in an engagement for marriage, or break off "with an appropriate level of friendship" that Marcoux said can avoid the usual disappointment and sense of rejection involved in a conventional dating breakup.
She believes those engaged in courtship, with honest effort, will know "within a very short time" if God is calling them to marriage.
With dating, no matter how "sanitized" by boundaries around sexual activity, people can become emotionally entangled with people they knew from the outset would never make good marriage partners.
Marcoux published a sequel called Surrender last spring. It too is doing well. Surrender picks up on the lives of secondary characters and their "process of vocational discernment" Marcoux said.
"Fiction is a powerful medium," she said. "It communicates a message because you identify with the characters. They get into your heart."
The Marcoux family as a whole embraces the ministry. They are in the process of selling their home in Saskatoon to move to a small town, and downsizing their lifestyle and expenses so they can realize what they see as "a calling on our life" to promote chastity and purity.

Oneiric Ocelot's default display manager, LightDM, has "suffered" a new redesign weeks ago, receiving an Unity-like theming.
Just now, new updates have landed in Oneiric adding more fancy-ness and polish to LightDM (Unity Greeter), transforming the login screen into an enjoyable experience that clearly aims towards consistency (same colors, textures, transparency, icons as the overall Unity look and feel).
What is new in LightDM 0.9.3?
- the panel is transparent (could in the near future borrow Unity's chameleonic behavior)
- LightDM's "dash" has received a dark/gray rounded border
- new redesigned icon ("Cog")
- the white-ish typing area is bigger and features new bigger redesigned asterisks

Coach Louise Gillespie-Smith shares her thoughts and experience in today's guest post:
Acting from Fear vs Love
Most of the time as a life coach I am really living my dream; I am inspired, I am enjoying doing the things I love and I am empowering people to live a life they love too. Then there are other times when I find myself behaving from a totally different place, from fear.
I can recognise it now, it's like I have had a double espresso even though I don't drink caffeine anymore. An anxious feeling starts to burn in my heart, my actions are frenzied and I am not connected to who I really am at all.
Surely a life coach doesn't feel fear?! GASP!
Coaches are seen as such positive inspirational people that it can be hard to admit to feeling like this to others and even to myself sometimes. However we are all human and sometimes it's natural to get a bit scared, it's what you do with the fear that matters. What you resist does indeed persist so acknowledging the signals that you are in the fear zone is the first step to turning it in to love, which is our true nature.
At the core of our being is love, this is who we are and this is what we have to share with the world. We have chosen to walk down the path of being coaches to support and empower people to be who they truly are. So it's important that we do the same for ourselves!
Following are a few things I have found that work for me to bring myself out of the fear zone and into acting from a place of love;
- Go outside and connect with the earth. Fear is in our minds, when we are caught up with self-talk we are not grounded or in our bodies at all. If I notice myself tensing up, thoughts spinning round and round I'll stop what I am doing and go outside. Even if it's just for 10 minutes I will feel the earth beneath my feet, I'll listen to the birds, I'll watch the sun sparkling on the sea, where ever I am I will take a few moments to bring myself back to the present moment right here right now.
- Remind yourself "there is only ever this moment and right now I have a choice of who I am being, which parts of my personality I wish to draw upon".
- Meditate, I find this one particularly works:
Sit in silence for a few minutes paying attention to the rise and fall breath
Start to think about all the things you are grateful for
Start to bring to mind your fear and then release it to God/ The Universe
Pay attention to your heart beating, feel every sensation, consciously use your intention to slow it down.
Send your intention to feel your heart beating in your hands and to feel the warmth grow in them.
Finally repeat an affirmation that works for you. For example "I am safe and totally protected by the Universe/ God, all is well".
- Get into your body by doing some exercise, I teach yoga and find this perfect for calming my mind down. Dance also really connects me with my body. Do something that works for you.
- Ask what will bring me joy? Then do that. For us to be able to help others we need to be taking care of ourselves. Self-love is crucial for us to have the energy and inspiration to help others.
I've got to admit I find writing a blog for other coaches slightly daunting as I am sure you will already know lots of this stuff already but I also know that sometimes we just need a little reminder! Being kind and loving to yourself is what is going to help you be able to share your love and support with everyone else you come into contact with.

Nick Frawley Earns All-America Honors with Second-Place Finish
June 13, 2008 DES MOINES, Iowa - Air Force sophomore Nick Frawley became the 21st outdoor NCAA All-American in Air Force track and field program history, as he tied for second in the pole vault at the NCAA Championships on Friday, June 13, in Des Moines, Iowa. Frawley claimed the first All-America certificate of his young career after clearing a height of 17'2¾" in the event finals. His finish is the best for the Air Force men's program at the national outdoor meet since Jim Murphy won the 5000-meter run title in 1964. It took Frawley just two attempts to earn All-America accolades. He advanced the opening height of 16'8¾" on his first try, before clearing the second increment at the 17'2¾" on his first attempt. Frawley's All-America certificate is the 32nd overall for the Falcons, the 12th at the Division I level and the eighth for the men's program. He is the third pole vaulter to earn this distinctive honor, joining former Falcons Marcus Nichols (1996) and Paul Gensic (2004). Gensic was the last outdoor All-American for the men's team, although Olivia Korte earned the honor in the women's discus throw in 2006. ALL-AMERICANS FOR THE AIR FORCE MEN'S TEAM

Walking With The Wounded: Soldiers' trek to South Pole
A soldier is hoping to become the first double amputee to walk to the South Pole in a team made up of wounded servicemen and women.
A soldier is hoping to become the first double amputee to walk to the South Pole in a team made up of wounded servicemen and women.
Scientists have discovered a hidden colony of 9,000 penguins in Antarctica.
The British explorer will travel across Antarctica during the southern winter, where temperatures can plummet to -90C.
The race to the South Pole - in which Prince Harry is taking part - has been suspended.
But tonight the adventure - across 200 miles of some of the most inhospitable terrain on earth - goes on.
The organisers - the Walking with the Wounded charity - say they took the decision to stop the competition for "safety" reasons.
But as ITV News Correspondent Harry Smith reports, although the race is over, the three teams still hope to get there in the end:
Prince Harry's race to the South Pole with Walking With The Wounded has been suspended for safety reasons, expedition director Ed Parker said.
The decision to suspend the race element was made after a "very tricky" few days of unexpectedly difficult conditions that has exhausted the competitors.
Read: Race to the South Pole over, but the expedition continues
Team members on the Walking with the Wounded South Pole trek will now work together to reach the South Pole - the race element has been taken out of the challenge. Guy Disney, from Team Glenfiddich said:
The first four days was a full out slog. It really tested every single individual mentally and physically. We are about 112 km from the South Pole and we all can't wait to get there as one big group.
The race has been suspended due to safety concerns arising from the adverse weather conditions.
Prince Harry's charity trek to the South Pole has been suspended due to safety concerns arising from the adverse weather conditions.
"We have put the race on hold. This does not mean that the expedition is over. Far from it. We came down here, determined to get 12 men and women, all injured in conflict, to the South Pole, and so we will," the expedition director Ed Parker said.
The team members will move as one whole allied team to reach the South Pole together. Each evening, the expedition will be camping together. They should reach the South Pole by next weekend.
"I took the decision to suspend the race. The reason for this is entirely simple – safety, which remains the core principal of our expeditions," Ed Parker, the expedition director said.
The @virginmoney #SouthPole2013 race has been suspended but the challenge goes on - find out the latest news http://t.co/3P3Ukhabyt
Prince Harry could not resist engaging in some playful banter when he offered his support to a group of soldiers rowing across the Atlantic in a satellite call conversation from Antarctica.
Harry is taking part in Virgin Money South Pole Allied Challenge - a gruelling charity trek to the South Pole, racing with a team of injured British servicemen and women against United States and Commonwealth groups in an expedition organised by the Walking With The Wounded charity.
The group set off on their 300km mission on Sunday but before doing so, Harry found the time to offer his support to the Row2Recovery team ahead of their 3,000 nautical mile race from the Canary Islands to Antigua, which starts on Wednesday.
Organisers of the South Pole charity trek, which Harry is taking part in, said they are shortening the start line to ensure the race is completed by the 15th December.
Today the decision has been taken by Edward Parker, Team Noom Coach Mentor and Co-Founder of Walking With The Wounded, to move the racestart 60km nearer to the South Pole.
His decision ensures the race a safewindow to arrive at the Geographical South Pole by 15 December.
– Walking with the wounded statementThis decision, given that recent adverse weather may well continue, has been considered eminently sensible by the three polar guides on the expedition: Inge Solheim, Conrad Dickinson and Eric Philips.
The expedition is now in the process of being moved by the support vehicle approximately 60km closer to the finish line, which reduces the overall race distance.
[...] Team spirits are high and everyone is working together in the lead up to the race start, which is expected to be on Sunday 1 December.
Prince Harry's charity trek to the South Pole has been shortened by 60km (37 miles) because of adverse weather.
The race, which will now be 163 miles long, will begin on Sunday. The 29-year-old is taking part with wounded service personnel in aid of the military charity Walking with the Wounded.
Photos have been released of Prince Harry's trip across the Antarctic to the South Pole.

One of my all time favorite thrifted sweaters. Sorry for the smugface, it's more of a grimace due to almost breaking myself leaping onto this strangely rock hard "couch". Sometimes you just expect a little more give. I know I've posted this sweater before a couple times but I'm just really excited about my new toy the pseudo-Polaroid Fuji Instax. Bought after giving up on finding un-expired Polaroid 600 film and being hit with a grim sold out on all fronts situation at The Impossible Project. I took a few of Chris at various angles and advised him to write his number on them and hand them out like credit card-sized photographic candy to females preceding the exchange with a "You're welcome", but his hidebound scope prevented him from seeing this plan through. Ok maybe I give really bad advice (this). OR it would have been an effective way to sift through those unequipped with a sense of humor. Whichever. People are way too on guard anyway. Including me. So, in summary, I have led you in a pointless circle. Sorry about that. But yes I like my new camera.
separate simulacrum
forget safety live where you fear to live destroy your reputation be notorious
(Alexander Wang jacket, Claude Maus dress, Forever 21 leather shorts, gifted Ruby New Zealand lace/button bustier, gifted Genevieve Jones fringe clutch, Miu Miu satin platforms, YSL rings and gifted Soixante Neuf/Planet Blue ring)
Strange feeling when you discover that a couple pieces of clothing you've owned for six months go together seamlessly. Makes you feel exactly as stupid as you do smart. This dress is one of my favorite pieces in my closet for it's loose cut and ability to work in any situation given a few accessory changes..but the effect the bustier has on cinching it in just kind of..completes it. So much love for NZ and Australian designers right now. And blindingly bright overhead motion sensor lights.
fun with andrew bevan at the jeremy scott afterparty
(vintage dress and velvet bag, Chloe boots, YSL ring)
Andrew Bevan is one of my favorite people I've met through blogging..he's someone that I could easily imagine hanging out with even if we both hated fashion and lived in North Dakota (no offense ND, San Diego is just about as off the fashion radar as you are). We promised to meet up after running into each other on the way into the Alexandre Herchcovitch show and upon our reunion laughed about and at pretty much everything..but only after I saved him from a freshly divorced vodka-happy partygoer who proceeded to hit on a confused Colin. I hope she found happiness later on that night.
Please note his gigantic safety pin necklace. Imagine the things you could fuse together with that thing.
(Elizabeth and James earrings, vintage sweater and clutch, American Apparel satin shorts, Jeffrey Campbell x LF Poland boots, bf's H&M jacket, YSL ring)
Happy 2010! I was going to get all sequined up but then lost the motivation and ended up dressing more for comfort than anything else. Which included swiping Colin's jacket for the night. I've been looking for a slightly more fitted version of it for myself forever now to no avail.
Thank you to Planet Blue for sending me this Soixante Neuf hammered knuckle ring – it got a redesign courtesy of one of their buyers and I love the result. Better shots of it on the way.

Look into insurance money collected on Fires at Navraj Singh businesses over the past. You will be shocked.
Smith got some campaign help when L.A. County's Democratic Party endorsed him for the nonpartisan race, but after that he temporarily suspended his campaign. A former journalist, now a project manager for the engineering firm Parsons, Smith then jumped back into the race, taking an unpaid leave from Parsons and making a $25,000 personal loan to his campaign.
Smith says of L.A.'s dynastic city elections: "The concept that one officeholder can groom someone and hand it off to them — it's undemocratic."
Taking a strong stand against Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the City Council, Smith backs Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to shut down the L.A. Community Redevelopment Agency.
Smith says Brown's CRA dismantling plan would shift hundreds of millions of dollars out of the redevelopment agency's grip and divert it to essential government services instead of private development — enough cash to meet L.A.'s huge projected deficit.
Smith sees taxpayer-subsidized CRA projects as a gamble that should be halted. He says: "I don't see how anyone can argue against meeting the services in the here and now" while handing public money to developers in hopes that "10 to 15 years" down the road, their subsidized projects will create economic growth.
"It's like there's a hole in your roof, but you don't fix it — because you're saving for a pool," Smith says.
Smith makes a fiscal pledge that no sitting City Council member has made: He will give back about $60,000 of his $178,789 annual council pay if elected.
Focused on trying to re-create a healthy business climate in recession-ravaged L.A., candidate Dinesh "Danny" Lakhanpal, 65, says Englander equals "no change."
Lakhanpal owns Dennish Insurance and Dennish Engineering and Consulting in Chatsworth. He says he's cobbled together an economic recovery–oriented coalition of contractors, Realtors and residents in the Indo-American community.
He's spent most of the $10,454 he's raised.
Lakhanpal, as a councilman, would push city leaders to help grow and woo a privately based solar energy industry, not one controlled by the controversial Department of Water and Power. And he proposes something novel for the Valley: a cultural museum for its 1.6 million residents, who currently have no museum.
If Lakhanpal or Singh won, he would be a rarity in council chambers: a successful businessman on a 15-member body dominated by lifelong politicians who've never run a business — and often have never even had careers outside government work.
Like the others running in CD 12, Armineh Chelebian, 49, is hoping for something of a voter backlash. She says Englander would "be beholden to the groups and organizations that have given him that $440,000."
Chelebian adds: "Mitch thinks he's automatically entitled, [but he] does not have the independence" to put the desires of residents "above the special interests, the unions, the well-connected developers."
An accountant, Chelebian is a member of the Reseda Neighborhood Council board and was active in the failed Valley secession effort, which sought to break Los Angeles into two cities after years of dismay over City Hall's heavy focus on bringing amenities to downtown as it shifts taxes out of the Valley.
Chelebian tried for, but lost, a CD 12 bid in 2003 and twice ran for the 40th California State Assembly District.
She says it's tough to attract backers and contributors to new faces like those taking on Englander, because in L.A. the longtime vested interests — who generally make up the bulk of campaign giving — automatically back the agreed-upon insider for any City Council slot.
She's raised about $7,000.
Candidate Kelly Lord hopes to reduce government, end City Hall's lack of public transparency, fix the budget — the City Council and Villaraigosa currently are overspending by about $3,424 an hour — spend more on infrastructure and break the grip of bureaucrats.
He and Brad Smith been endorsed for CD 12 by Clean Sweep, a civic reform group led by former Daily News editor Ron Kaye that's seeking to challenge the strong influence of developers, unions and other special interests at City Hall.
Lord, 61, is the co-owner of Equity Trust Realty in Northridge, and is treasurer of the Northridge East Neighborhood Council.
Englander doesn't seem worried. He says he's the only candidate who can cope with "drinking out of a fire hose" — his metaphor for the overly complex and inefficient way in which Los Angeles City Hall continues to be run.
He's eyeing one of the 15 high-backed chairs in Council Chambers — furnishings that some Angelenos say look a bit like thrones.

YJ Draiman for Mayor of LA - Statement
Dear Fellow Los Angelino's
Thank you for taking a few moments to learn more about my ideas for building a new Los Angeles.I appreciate your interest in my campaign and hope my jobs plan will provide you with a better understanding of the type of Mayor I hope to be – one focused on transparency and putting Los Angele eons back to work.
Los Angeles faces one of the most challenging times in our city's history.Because of the unfriendly business environment, along with some of the highest tax rates in the nation, families and businesses are being forced to make unthinkable trade-offs, including living the city they love. But I am optimistic about Los Angeles future.
I am running for Mayor because I believe everything is still possible in Los Angeles. That is why as Mayor creating jobs will be my priority. It is the only way we are going to clean up the mess in Los Angeles. I have a unique skill set and the detailed plan to get Los Angeles going again.
I have started businesses from the ground up and within a short time revenues exceeded $60 million a year. I have been involved in gentrification of whole neighborhoods; I have built a 5 star hotel and implemented energy efficiency for over 20 years. I am currently working on my PHD in Energy Conservation.
I think Los Angeles needs a little bit more of a business-like attitude. We have to be honest about our problems, offer grown-up solutions and put an end to the partisan bickering and hand-wringing that is business as usual.
If you do not know and admit that there is a problem, you can not fix it.
I am running to reinvigorate Los Angeles economic potential – it will take time and the effort of all the people of Los Angeles. We shall overcome there economic hardships if we work together as a unified force.
If you have any suggestions on how we can move Los Angeles forward, please contact our campaign. We will listen. We want this campaign to be special, one that addresses your concerns and speaks to your hopes for what a new Los Angeles can be.
Together, we can put Los Angeles back to work and make our City great again and call it the city that works.
YJ DraimanDraiman is determined to bring a new approach to Los Angeles. One that demands we create jobs and lower taxes. One that requires more efficient and better services. One that makes a renewed commitment to improving our schools. One that is committed to improve public transportation.
Draiman has a plan to make Los Angeles economic vitality flourish.Make Los Angeles Competitive again, raise the standard of living, grow the tax base and help put an end to the yearly budget problems in Los Angeles.
Voters Wake up, Angelinos! It's not too late to knock a really big dent in our Los Angeles City Council—specifically among those incumbents and their staff running for reelection on March 8—all of whom can be included among our "leaders" who've helped preside over our City's spectacular accumulation of ever larger debt while guiding us in accelerating decline toward Third World status.The trick available to us is somewhat radical, but only we voters can make it happen.I propose that we should—each of us voters Citywide no matter of what political stripe—on March 8 vote ALL City Council incumbents & staff then up for reelection OUT by voting IN whichever challengers we each may choose in our respective Districts.Adopted theme
How do we fix the Pension Deficit- A voter gave me this proposalI feel bad for many of these folks because this was promised to them. The trade off was suppose to be low pay in exchange for great benefits including gold plated early retirement. The low pay drove high performers to the private sector and created a vacuum of people that would otherwise be on the gov't teet from some angle.
One time payout to the pensioners based on the original actuarial tables of life span/payout (There should be a minimum value for those already exceeding the limit). For employees and retirees not yet drawing from the pension plan, roll the value into a 401K system. This should be financed with municipal bonds which would establish and end date for the funding need.
Set up 401K system for all current and future employees.
All current and future healthcare benefits should be pooled into one high deductible plan with retirees and current workers paying a defined percent of the premium.
Do you want to maintain the quality of life in CD12. Elect Brad Smith For Council. If you want to change the business as usual. Elect Brad Smith. He has carisma, honesty and integrity. Brad Smith is a family man, a church goer, believes in family values and morality.
YJ Draiman for Mayor of LA
Thank you for providing coverage to this almost forgotten race. I first saw it covered at Paul Hatfield's Village to Village blog where I put this comment, which is worth repeating. Among several problems with the annointed candidate, Englander, is his lack of knowledge on most land use issues that affect everyone's quality of life or any financial acuity to serve a city in crisis. He supports Enterprise Zones that are slated for demise by Governor Brown and which studies have shown to be worthless for job generation. His Council Office supported the CPIO Ordinance that has been legally challenged by community activists who understood that it deprives residents of any say in land use matters and shifts power to the cabal of politicians, developers and bureaucrats. The CD12 communities need to know this.
Despite this, the Daily News voted for status-quo even when it harms the city. After endorsing Cardenas, they endorsed Mitch Englander while admitting "as chief of staff to a sitting councilman, Englander effectively has the incumbent's advantage. He's raised a campaign war chest of $444,000, filled with contributions from the developers, businesses and political action committees that bankroll elections. We expect that he will focus his energy on serving the men and women of CD 12 who elected him, not his donors".
How can we expect him to serve the men & women of CD 12, while collecting money from developers? Just hope those men & women are savvy enough to see through this game and ignore such endorsements that will be harmful to their quality of life. That both the leading dailies saw such collection of money as business as usual is downright shameless.
Interestingly, one of the challengers, Brad Smith was already aware of the close ties between Englander and developers, as his quote in Daily News summed it that "Greig Smith and predecessor Hal Bernson were too friendly to land developers and provided "very poor service" to the district that runs from Chatsworth on the west to North Hills on the east, and that I see no reason it would be any different with Englander."
Hopefully, the communities will support Brad Smith who has not fed at the public trough and supports a quality environment for both businesses and residents. The City simply can't afford 12 years of Englander.

Students remain enthusiastic about learning overseas in spite of recent events
RELEASED: November 15, 2001
DANVILLE, KY For years Centre College has been a leader in international studies, and this hasn't changed in the aftermath of Sept. 11.
A report released Tuesday from the Institute of International Education recognized Centre as one of the top 11 schools in the percentage of its students studying abroad at some point in their college careers. And according to a recent survey, 86 percent of the Centre students interviewed said they plan to take part in international study in spite of the terrorist attacks on America and the conflict overseas.
"I was planning to go to both Israel and Germany this summer. I thought about it and decided that to not travel meant that the terrorists had won, so I'm still going to go," said senior Rebecca Grossman of Louisville.
No students returned from their fall-term international study programs after Sept. 11, and no students have pulled out of the winter- or spring-term programs. Centre has 131 students planning to study overseas in the winter and spring terms.
"Our students remain highly enthusiastic about studying overseas," said Milton Reigelman, Centres Director of International Programs and Cowan Professor of English. "We are pretty unique in that we stay in touch with the students overseas and the parents."
Reigelman added that what makes Centre's programs different from some of those at other colleges and universities is that a Centre faculty member with significant knowledge of that region of the world lives at the site, teaching and coordinating special trips and other activities.
Centre offers three-to-four-month programs in England, France, Japan and Latin America. Shorter trips have included the Bahamas, Central African Republic, India, Turkey, Israel and Vietnam.

New Neo Geo Pocket Announced by SNK Playmore (Kind Of)
SNK Playmore has announced a new handheld device that will play Neo Geo classics such as Metal Slug and King of Fighters '94. There isn't any news on pricing or a release date just yet, only a few images of the device.
The classic joystick style analog stick will return from the Neo Geo Pocket and of course the standard four button layout with menu and start buttons also.
On its front it has a resemblance to current smart phones and sports an AV Out slot, USB connectivity and perhaps a rechargeable battery. Also on the top there are four shoulder buttons which should add extra functionality when it comes to control options.
With an SD card slot, you should be able to store several other games, besides the 20 that are preloaded onto the device, they are:
- World Heroes
- Ultimate 11
- Top Player's Golf
- Sengoku
- Nam-1975
- Mutation Nation
- Last Resort
- King of Monsters
- Frenzy
- Cyber Lip
- Fatal Fury Special
- Art of Fighting
- Super Sidekicks
- League Bowling
- Metal Slug
- Magical Lord
- Baseball Stars Professional
- Samurai Shodown
- King of Fighters '94
- Fatal Fury
The device also has 2GB of storage and a 4.3 inch screen.
I loved the Neo Geo Pocket when I was a child and I hope to see this new device released to western audiences.

This is it!
Or thesis, to be more accurate…
Convergence and the right to communicate:
assessing the application of media law to the Internet
My PhD thesis is now completed, printed, bound and ready to be submitted to Trinity College Dublin. (There will of course be a defence or viva voce examination at a date to be determined, so this is not the end of the road, but somewhere on the final furlong, to mix my metaphors). I'm very grateful to Lex Ferenda readers for comments and feedback and for tolerating so many very early drafts of what hopefully became much more polished paragraphs. I'm also very happy, after (just under) four years, to have a big brick of a thesis sitting beside me and staring back at me as if to say 'are you happy now?'
I'm not making the full text available on the Web at this stage (although I will do so, probably through something like the open-acccess Tara project, after it has been examined). However, you can download the summary and table of contents here, and see a representation of the text in Wordle form below!
10 Responses to 'This is it!'
Funny how the wordle indicates 'law' was a common theme in your thesis. Whoulda thunk it?!
Well done dude, you must feel so relieved. Pretty interesting topic alright, working out how to cram law into the internet tubes. Congratulations again!
Congratulations – that must be a fantastic feeling!
I'll look forward to reading it in due course. -
Congrats on finishing it!
It's taken a while! -
Hey, well done! Nice wordle btw… probably shows that you've not overkilled any particular issue as there's a good spread of medium sized words – especially 'new' which seems to feature quite highly!
Welcome to the club!
Miquel -
First word I saw: "however"
SDPers rock!
lml O_O lml -
Many congratulations Daithi – viva will no doubt be a stroll in the park – have fun with it. You'll rarely have another opportunity to talk in depth with people who've read your stuff in so much depth. And keep up the good work on here – excellent.
Hi there,
I've just had a decent look at the wordle, and whilst I'm not surprised by the big words, I was a little taken aback by the frequency with which you must have used "Even". In fact, it appears with "though", though "though" is bigger in the worlde and thus more frequent. If I'd spotted that overuse, I would have objected. Even though it doesn't seem to have done you any harm.
But seriously, a wordle?
But actually seriously, congratulations! Well done and well deserved.
I'm very puzzled by the Wordle. I think it might have cut off before the end as there are words from the later chapters that seem to be undervalued. I might do some more work on it after the final version, just for fun. I was more surprised (and a little annoyed) by the status of 'however'. It was my first Wordle – what a time to start, eh?
(6 x 'even though', for the record!)
Daithi ,
Sorry, I haven't been on the blog in a while. Hearty congratulations on getting you PhD submitted. I wish you well with the defence of same and am sure you'll do very well.
I wonder can you send me a copy of it once you are finished with the various academic validations? There are aspects of the summary and index I am interested in getting your written views on, in particular Regulation and Net Neutrality.
I sincerely hope that you are not feeling the same gutting anti-climax I felt once I had submitted my (far less important) Masters dissertation.
Anyway, well done.

A boozed-up driver plowed into a sanitation truck early today in Brooklyn, and his passenger was killed, police said.
The 44-year-old driver was driving his Jeep westbound on 61st Street, when he smashed into the private truck at the intersection of 20th Avenue about 2:10 a.m., cops said.
He was taken in police custody to Lutheran Hospital, where he is in stable condition. Charges are pending, and police said he was arrested on suspicion of DWI.
His passenger John Larocca, 45, of Borough Park, was rushed to Maimonides Hospital, where he died.
The 32-year-old truck operator, and his 25-year-old passenger, are listed in stable condition at Lutheran.
