Climbing the "Rocks" of Business Challenges
Climbing the "Rocks" of Business Challenges
"The mountains will always be there, the trick is to make sure you are too." — Hervey Voge
Last weekend my boyfriend and I took a rock-climbing lesson at the Joshua Tree National Park. We met our instructor Steve and the other climbers at the crack of dawn. Not knowing what to expect, we were wide open to whatever was in store for us.
For some reason the rock-climbing lesson resonated with me at a deeper level. It still does. And I can't help but compare the lessons I learn in rock climbing with those I've learned in life and business. I am struck by their similarities: both combine autonomy with engagement, security with risks, constancy with flexibility, and simplicity with complexity. This confirms my belief that there are certain principles to life, once learned, that we can apply freely in other disciplines as well.
Here are the five principles that came alive during my rock-climbing lesson:
1. Establish strong anchors: In roped technical climbing, one climber moves at a time, while the other "belays." The belayer must be securely attached to the rock by means of protection devices (cams, nuts, bolts, pitons), or tied to an immovable object like a boulder or sturdy tree. The attachments are called, collectively, the "anchor." There is also an anchor securely attached to the rock above where the climbers aim to climb. Once you have the upper and lower anchors secured, you can't really fall. The anchors give you freedom of movement between two spaces: where you are now and where you want to go. To me, the upper anchor symbolizes our intention. The lower anchor symbolizes our relationships and values. When our ambition is focused at the right place, and our foundations are solid, we can trust the process, take risks, and enjoy the journey.
2. Have a game plan: Once we checked to make sure that our anchors were secure, Steve asked us to take a quick study of the rocks and come up with a rough game plan for our ascent. I didn't fully understand its importance until later when I was up there hanging on the rocks. When you are up there, your vision narrows down to a few square feet around you. All you can focus on is your next move. That's why it is important that you get a good sense of direction beforehand. Of course your plan can change as you discover new information along the way. This is true in life and business as well. We need to have a plan to guide us on our journey. But we also need to stay open to adapt and change our plan when new information becomes available.
3. Take one solid step at a time: When you start to ascend, you sort of let go of your goals. All you focus on is finding your next step. You commit to it, center yourself, and then take that next step. There was one climb that was particularly challenging for me. The rock was so steep and bare. When I was 20 feet above the ground, I couldn't place my next move. I used my left foot to "feel" several potential footholds. But I just didn't feel comfortable that they were solid enough to hold my weight. I was paralyzed for a few minutes in eternity. Steve was shouting from below, "Commit to it. Trust it." When you find a step you can commit to it, you will move. I struggled to commit my weight to a spot that was barely there. But I did. I trusted it. And centering my self, I kept ascending! Today his words still strike me like a bell: "What is the next solid step can you take?" I know when I commit to taking my next step, and trust it, all is well.
4. Follow your intuition: When I was up there high above the ground, my fellow climbers were shouting at me, enthusiastically giving me their advice. Who do you listen to? Some advice was very helpful, especially from people who had gone before me. However, I realized what mattered most at that moment was my own intuition. I know myself and my situation better than anyone else. Somehow my intuition always guided me to a step that worked for me. My climber friends were often surprised that I could figure out a "strange way" to get up there. In rock climbing, it becomes clear to me that we are all different, our body types, skills and personalities. We'll get it right if we follow our intuition and use whatever we've got.
5. Pace yourself well: I enjoyed watching Steve climb. He ascended with grace and ease, like a cat. I was fooled initially, thinking it was a piece of cake. When it was my turn, I began with enthusiasm and determination. I lifted my leg attempting to put my foot on a bigger hold way above me. Steve stopped me, he said, "Take a smaller step, staying as centered as you can. You don't want to overextend yourself and waste your energy." True. There is the law of least effort. It matters what step you take, it also matters how you take it. How can I take my next step with grace and ease, and conserve my precious energy for the long haul? This is another reminder I am bringing back to my daily world.
I pause for a moment, centering myself. Looking up, I say to myself, "What an exciting journey ahead." I can't wait to take my next step… and take it well.

State of the Union
President Obama Cracks Salmon Joke in 'State of the Union' Speech (VIDEO)
"The Interior Department is in charge of salmon while they're in fresh water, but the Commerce Department handles them when they're in saltwater," Obama said. "I hear it gets even more complicated once they're smoked," he quipped.
Candy Crowley Prepares 'State of the Union'
That's because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley will take over their weekly 'State of the Union' round table beginning Sunday, ending weeks of speculation and shake-ups following the departure of controversial talking head Lou Dobbs from the network last November.

The 'SNL' crew also took the politicians to task with bits on Obama's State of the Union speech, Sen. Scott Brown's new gig, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor's visit to Weekend Update. All that, and some Michael Bublé tunes.

State of the Union Address to Air Jan. 27
Yes, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the White House has finally decided when to air the annual speech, which details the progress made over the past year and the challenges still facing our nation. And it seems that one of those challenges is figuring out when to schedule the speech; the selected date, Wednesday, January 27, means the show could preempt the country's most popular show, 'American Idol.'
Barack Obama May Pre-Empt 'Lost' Premiere
The castaways of 'Lost''s mysterious island may be facing a nemesis more powerful and implacable than time loops, hydrogen bombs and smoke monsters: It's President Barack Obama.
According to The Wrap, the president is deciding when to deliver his annual State of the Union address, and the most likely airdate is Feb. 2. Which means the speech would likely bump the long-awaited premiere of the sixth and final season of 'Lost,' which had been scheduled for that date for months.
Tracey Ullman's State of the Union, season three -- An early look
As with the first two seasons of her Showtime series Tracey Ullman's State of the Union, she pretends to be, or rather becomes, different personalities across the United States over a single day with an ubiquitous announcer informing us of who she is and where in the country she is located. She even impersonates various celebrities on the way, and sometimes she is more than one of them at the same time.
Nielsen cable ratings for the week ending Febuary 3
Here are the weekly cable ratings, by number of viewers.
Now this is a varied ratings list. Sure, we have Monday Night RAW in there just like every week, but thrown into the mix are politics (the Democratic Debate from CA, the State of the Union and analysis), Law and Order, a movie on Disney, an episode of Monk, and not one but two - two! - episodes of Anderson Cooper 360. The episodes were helped by the fact that they followed the Democratic Debate - one is from 9:52 p.m. on Thursday and the other from 10 p.m. the same night. Eight minutes later. Crazy ratings.
1. Democratic Debate (CNN)
A Daily Show: January 29, 2008
President Bush delivered his final State of the Union address the other night. He encouraged the nation to do stuff and promised to do some other stuff and then talked about some other, other stuff. Anyway, we're strong. I swear I actually shuddered a little bit when Cheney smiled. That damn inverted scowl makes me feel cold deep in the pit of my soul. I would also like to point out that, for some reason, Jon's Bush impression has been slipping into weirdly hilarious zones lately. He suddenly turned into a Mr. T/George Jefferson hybrid during the Kyoto Protocol joke.

What to Watch Tue., Jan. 23
It's State of the Union night (see below), which is usually a television wasteland. For those of us who don't care to watch an hour of meaningless babble, 'Veronica' comes to the rescue. Last we saw the perky detective, she caught the campus rapist and broke up with boyfriend Logan (why, I still can't figure out). Now, she and Papa Mars are on the case of the dead dean.
CNN's Pipeline free all day tomorrow
I've never used Pipeline, the news video service that CNN has incorporate into its web site. I think I went to the site one time to check it out, but you had to register or had to pay for it or something so I didn't do it. But it has received great reviews, and tomorrow we'll be able to see what the fuss is about.
Pipeline will be free to everyone tomorrow (though I'm not sure if you'll have to register first). And they'll have some big stories covered: the Academy Award nominations at 8:30 in the morning, coverage of the Sundance Film Festival, and President Bush's State of the Union Address at 9pm. Plus, I'm sure they'll be live coverage of breaking news and press conferences all day long, not to mention whatever Paris Hilton is up to.

St. Stephen's Basilica is the third largest building in Hungary. The basilica is located within walking distance and offers great concerts over the year!
The St. Stephen's Basilica is Budapest's largest church, it can hold 8,500 worshippers simultaneously, and its official ecclesiastical name is Lipót City Parish Church. Its main facade overlooks St. Stephen's Square and the Danube via Zrínyi street. The construction started in 1851, but for various reasons, such as the death of the original architect and the collapse of the dome, it was full completed only in 1905.

In round three completed Saturday night at midnight, voters picked the Demon basketball team scoring the game's last 11 points in the final 2:14 in front of a rabid Prather Coliseum crowd of 2,533 on Jan. 26, with a go-ahead 3-point basket from James Hulbin with 14 seconds left in a 61-57 victory over Stephen F. Austin, ending the nation's second-longest winning streak at 11. In the latest round completed at midnight Monday, the overwhelming pick was the NSU basketball team advancing to the 2013 NCAA Tournament with a Southland Conference Tournament championship win over SFA, 68-66, as this time, the Demons held off a Lumberjacks rally in the closing minutes.
Voting began just past midnight Tuesday morning on the fifth of eight opening pairings in the contest celebrating 16 top accomplishments from the just completed NSU sports year. The current contest provides voters the choice between the Demons' 4x100 meter relay foursome of Gabe White, Hanoj Carter, Kendal Taylor and Justin Walker winning All-America honors with a 12th-place finish at the NCAA Track and Field Championships, while running the fastest time in the event at NSU since 1982; or the rebuilding Lady Demon basketball team, picked to finish last in the league, scoring upsets of the 2012 (McNeese State) and eventual 2013 (Sam Houston State) Southland champions in Prather Coliseum led by SLC Freshman of the Year Janelle Perez.
In the opening vote of the contest, fans picked Janae Allen's stunning 10th-place finish in the women's discus at the NCAA meet last month. The second round decision went to Andrea Nedorostova winning the women's tennis Student-Athlete of the Year honor after breaking the Lady Demons' career doubles wins record and captaining NSU to an NCAA Tournament appearance.

E-mail newsletters are a popular way for salon owners to keep in touch with clients and let them know of specials, new products and services, and much more. However, the key to a successful e-newsletter is getting the recipient to open and read it—which is sometimes easier said than done.
A recent article for BusinessWeek is dedicated to disseminating what your newsletter should contain to ensure that people read it, based on advice from Dave Robinson, vice-president of marketing for online backup service Mozy, and Janine Popick, chief executive of VerticalResponse, an e-mail and direct marketing provider for small businesses. Here are a couple of their tips:
Share Knowledge. Robinson says that, unless you have something interesting and relevant to your audience to share, don't bother. If it is interesting and relevant, keep it simple and instructive.
Include Customers. Popick and Robinson agree the best way to sell a product or service is to use customers to illustrate your pitch. Popick also likes newsletters with links to relevant customer stories; for example, if customers are talking about your salon on MySpace, Facebook or Twitter, use the newsletter to link to those discussions.

There are many free Siri proxy servers floating around. Some are legit, but they are down most of the time. Others are scams, and don't even work. But developers from i4siri.com have finally developed a public server which allows you to access Siri on "non-capable" devices.
Now, in order to achieve the following steps on how to get Siri on your iDevice by using the i4siri server, you will of course need to be jailbroken.
1) Open up Cydia and download "Spire". It takes a lot of time to get all the Siri frameworks onto your device, so please be patient, as this process can take up to 30 minutes. When it is done, it will prompt you to reboot your device.
2) After you have successfully installed Spire, go into your Settings, then tap General>Siri and then enable Siri.
3) After doing this, go to where your jailbreak portion of your Settings app (where all your jailbreak tweak preferences are) and you should see "Spire" among them. Click on it.
4) Add the following proxy server: https://i4sirifree.mooo.com
5) After entering the correct Siri proxy server (the one up above) go into your Safari app and type this in the URL box: i4siri.com/installcertificate.html
6) Doing step 5 should redirect you to your settings app. Tap "install" even though it might say "not trusted".
7) Now try to activate Siri. If it does not happen to work, reboot your device. Sometimes a reboot is what it needs to kick into gear.
8) Congrats! You have successfully ported Siri to your older device! Have fun!
* If you still have problems, feel free to leave a comments below, and perhaps I can help you find the answer to your problems.

Just as the article stated, there will probably be a legal challenge. Once again, forget what the people want, this isn't what the major political partys want, so let's challenge it and wipe it off the books. The reason is simple. With the new law, there is a chance that two people from the same party will be on the NOV ballot excluding all other partys and no political party wants that.
With the new law, we can now ignore party lines and vote for the person we feel is the best candidate. What I like most about this is that the far left and far right candidates will have a more difficult time getting votes from centralists. In my opinion, people to far to either side of the middle have put this state and this country in the dire position it is now.
Yeah, sure, this is going to 'diffuse the extremes' political parties go to, to get their candidates elected. lol It's far more likely parties will just start the nasty mudslinging sooner to try to eliminate their competition on both sides earlier.June 10 2010 at 11:02 AM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply

NEW YORK CITY, NY -- A son-in-law of Osama bin Laden has pleaded not guilty to charges of plotting to kill Americans.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was captured earlier this week in Jordan, according to U.S. officials. He was arraigned in federal court Friday morning in New York City.
Officials say Congress was notified when Ghaith was taken into custody. But some republicans say the decision to bring the Al-Qaeda spokesman to court, rather than take him to Guantanamo Bay, was a mistake.

Join us on December 15th, 2013 at the Jessica Ridgeway Christmas Crusade Party!! There is no fee to attend, you only need to bring a new, unwrapped toy with you!
Santa and Mrs. Claus will stop by to lend an ear, help collect gifts and pose for pictures around 4 PM! Santa's going to be busy on December 6th and 7th starring in the 9News Parade of Lights, so our party is on the following weekend.
There will be fun Christmas activities for the kids to do while they wait to see Santa.
Pictures with Santa courtesy of Steve Hostetler Photography will be available on his website in high resolution after the party. You'll be able to download the pictures at no cost!
The Lassy Project™ team will be available for parents to ask questions and see live demos of how the app works.
Snacks and drinks will be provided.
So mark your calendars – December 15th from 3-5 PM at the West View Rec Center in Westminster, CO! We look forward to seeing you there!!

Call 303-322-KIDS (5437) Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday and Sunday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM between November 25, 2013 and December 13, 2013. December 15th is the deadline for sponsoring a specific child, but you can still make general donations after that date. The officer who answers can identify a child who is in need and give you ideas of what the child needs or wants.
A few words from our sponsors:
Jessica Ridgeway's Legacy

thats what he said, to her.....during secks
larn the difference between zerconia and a diamond.
(primetimekin, that's what i was aiming for)
If rap is simple, you don't get the basics
(and dont lump all of regaeton into 1 category. Calle 13 is creative)
Women are so hypocritical to this. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT ALL WOMEN!!!
Even Fat Joe saidIf you earn you're pay check I got nothing but respect
we are talking about bitches, and all of you women know at least a few bitches. If you don't know any bitches, thats because you're probably it.
everyone should just listen to the same music as him"
Yes. Yes they should.
Nah, but in all seriousness, they're hundreds of types of music out there. I'm just bashing the most stupid and commercial oriented genres. Also, I'm not imposing anyone anything. I mean, who the f*ck am I to tell you what to hear? I'm just saying the most stupid music is the most commercial music nowadays, when it shouldn't. It's a shame that the music industry is based purely on "how good will it sell" and not "how talented the musician is". That's why it's all going downhill.
everyone should just listen to the same music as him
Back on topic:"Maybe they'll auction it off to help starving African children...?"
Hahaha, don't be naïve. That's not gonna happen. Fear the power of greed.
a few rappers manage to put meaning into that crap, and even then, its AT BEST pathetic.
I live in Miami... I know Trick Daddy
He isn't on the list because that list is only for Taxable/ legal money.
Trick Daddy gets plenty of money
And a lot of the top selling albums are rap.
Last year#2 was KONVICTED by AkonFergie has some hip-hop and she was 3Kanye was 12Kingdom Come was 20
And that was a rap year that was considered weak. T.I. could've had a better album. His current one is good,
Not to Mention Lil' Wayne's THA CARTER 3 had so many leaks it was pushed back until a few months ago
that thing would break a FIST
Can't believe you'd buy into all that crap. :D
Rappers are poor. No rappers could afford that diamond.

By Marilynn McLachlan on 7th June 2013, in Celebrity, Royals
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, has been admitted to hospital in London just hours after receiving New Zealand's highest honour.
The prince is due to undergo "an exploratory operation following abdominal investigations".
Philip (91) was awarded the Order of New Zealand by the Queen in the presence of the High Commissioner for New Zealand, Sir Lockwood Smith, at Buckingham Palace, before attending a garden party in the palace's grounds.
Although he had been feeling "under the weather" since Monday, when he missed an engagement at the palace, Philip, who turns 92 on June 10, was seen smiling and joking at the garden party before being taken to the London Clinic.
A palace spokesperson said, "His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh has been admitted to the London Clinic for an exploratory operation following abdominal investigations. He is expected to stay in hospital for up to two weeks."
The operation will take place today, and the palace says that the "planned admission" is in no way connection to the prince's illness earlier in the week. "He is in very good health," the spokesperson said. "He felt unwell on Monday and missed an engagement but that was down to the fact that he had temporarily lost his voice."
It has not been confirmed if any members of the royal family will be visiting Philip in the coming days.

message from alan cransberg, managing director, alcoa of australia
As you may have read in the media, I recently attended a dinner hosted by the Prime Minister to discuss the proposed carbon tax. It was a good chance to talk about how the Government could handle emissions intensive trade exposed industries, like ours, to ensure our international competitiveness is not compromised - it was a productive session. Naturally, I went in delivering the same message that we've consistently voiced publicly over more than two years now and which you can read at
With National Volunteering Week earlier this month, we took the chance to launch our annual corporate
volunteering figures
and I'm really proud of what our people have contributed. Last year, Alcoans clocked up an impressive 107,700 volunteering hours – that's equivalent to more than 53* years! Speaking of volunteering, we're in the middle of a new global volunteering initiative -
Green Works
established by the Alcoa Foundation - that's seeing thousands of Alcoa employees around the globe volunteer to reduce their carbon footprint, recycle to save energy and plant trees to replenish the environment.
There's been some other significant things happening in the communities around our operations recently too – we celebrated the opening of the Murray Leisure Centre in WA for which Alcoa contributed $1 million, we've seen some real and tangible results from a recycling partnership in Portland and our great environmental work with Greening Australia continues. Do read more via the links below.
Finally this month, I encourage you to learn something new about Alcoa, and see why we call aluminium a 'miracle metal', by watching our
new video.

Text of Chapter 13 (and associated Forms) The version of Chapter 13 is provided for users' convenience. It is not, however, an official version of the code. The only legally binding version of the code is available through the Secretary of State's office, and may be purchased from the State House Bookstore (617-727-2834 .) PLEASE NOTE: There is an INCORRECT EQUATION in Chapter 28 of the Code ("Mechanical Systems") dealing with separation distances between fresh air intakes and exhaust air outlets. Equation 2801.2.2.2 mistakenly is based on metric units. The correct Inch-Pound equation should read: S = 0.09 x Q 0.5 (D 0.5 - V/400). This modification has been submitted to the Board as an emergency amendment, and will be included in future printings of the Code
The change was made in order to update the stringency of the Code to reflect improvements in technology, design, and construction of energy systems since the previous requirements were implemented in 1989. The new Code is also significantly easier to use than the current one, with a clearer structure, simplified tables, and new software to demonstrate design compliance. These changes include elements from both ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1999 and from the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC 2000), as well as some requirements that are unique to Massachusetts.
SELF-HELP TOOL - BBRS has developed a self-help tool in order to help code users familiarize themselves with the new commercial energy code. This tool offers the code text with index, commentary on the code with links back to the code text, and an introduction to COM check-EZ software.

From a land of tourism, Kerala has become a 'nursery of terrorism': Modi
Asserting that the bad condition of Kerala is due to an unwritten understanding between the Congress-led UDF and CPI-led LDF in the state, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the land of tourism has turned into a 'nursery of terrorism'.
Addressing a rally here, Modi said: "The bad condition of Kerala is due to the unwritten understanding between the United Democratic Front (UDF) and Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the state, which indulge in a "friendly match" and form governments in the state alternatively."
"Kerala had the opportunity to be a tourist destination, but unfortunately, it has turned into a nursery of terrorism," Modi added.
Targeting the state government over the issue of safety of women, Modi said: "Kerala figures in the top 10 states that have been termed as unsafe for women. Out of these 10 states, six are governed by Congress governments. However, none of these are governed by the BJP government," said Modi.
Modi further said that this is god's own country, but why are the people leaving the state and going out?
"Kerala's youth want jobs but the state cannot offer jobs to them. They face problems abroad, there is a very senior Minister from Kerala in Delhi. Do the youth abroad get help?, he asked.
He further targeted the Oomen Chandy government over the killing of two fishermen by Italian marines and said that neither the state nor the central government has taken any concrete steps in the matter.
"Our fishermen were killed by Italian Marines, but the government did nothing," he said.

Access to needs, not dollars, is standard for defining poverty, cardinal suggests
Catholic World News - November 28, 2012
Poverty must be understood not only in terms of a shortage of money, but also in terms of a lack of access to education, health care, and other assets, the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace told a Vatican Radio audience.
Cardinal Peter Turkson observed that in the past, someone living on $1 a day was defined as poor. But someone can have a considerably larger income, and still lack access to necessities, he said. Looking forward to a Vatican-sponsored seminar on the causes of poverty, the African prelate said that the problem might be better defined in terms of access.

Diamond Gothic – Part 11
Part 11
"The Secrets in the Floorboards"
By JC Coccoli
He broke his gaze just enough to offer a warm smile. "Why, thank ya, Ness– you didn't have to go through the trouble."
"Nonsense. Can't have you starvin' down here while them folk go wastin' scraps 'cause they ain't fit to be eatin' 'em no more," Nessie replied with subtle irritation.
"Sure, sure," he replied kindly. "Anybody be needin' their motor moved?"
She struck up another match. "Not quite yet. They're still up there a-bickerin' about 'whos-its and whats-its.'" She took a pause. "I'll tell you, this job done-be the death of me one of these days."
Chauncey looked up from his food. "Ah, hush now. You good at it. You the best at it. Shucks, I'm blinder than a bat on Christmas, and you done-keep that secret better than any locked diary I've ever laid down with ink."
"Well, that ain't sayin' much, cause you can't read, Chaunce," Ness laughed. They took a moment to break the tension with shared smiles. He was right, though– Ness was the best in town. Just a shame nobody had taken the time to notice.
She took a stare off into the corner. A long, hard stare. There, under another afghan (threaded with soft pinks and blues), she carefully eyed something snug as a bug.
Chauncey knew what she was thinking. "She's breathing better. S'all that matters."
Nessie softly walked to the corner of the room, eyeing the baby who was sleeping calmly in the makeshift crib which the Help had put together out of broken pieces of lumber found on the property. So calm. So peaceful. As if even the newborn herself knew that she was a secret. The pigment in the child's skin was lighter than that of Chauncey or Nessie– a pleasant shade of mocha, with freckles. Her eyes were a light gray, which looked like they could turn into a pale blue with any blink now.
She was breathing better, and yes, that was all that mattered for now.
Chauncey munched away on the lukewarm chicken bits, thankful for anything other than lima beans and grits– his meal for every other day. "We can't hide her forever. We've got to let em' know someday," he continued with concern.
Nessie gently touched the side of the baby's cheek. "Sure, I know." She took a stern back. "But not now. They ain't ready to know yet."
The baby cooed at the touch of Nessie. You see, she was never able to bear children. Not that the Lord hadn't give her the parts; it was that she'd never found a man who was able to stick around long enough to give her one. Her life had a been one of taking care of others, with a total neglect for her own happiness and well-being. But never try bringing that up to a thick-skinned woman like Nessie; she didn't have time to sulk in the memories of yesterday– there was work to be done.
Chauncey swallowed the last bite and slapped his hands together to release the last bits of remaining crumbs. "Look, I've got something I want to show ya."
He slowly got to his feet, using the base of a rickety ol' dresser to catch his balance. He lifted himself up and hobbled to the bedside near the baby, and then raised the mattress to pull out a scrapbook filled with black and white newspaper clippings; bound by tape and glue, each scrap was organized by date.
He smacked the bedside next to him, signaling for Nessie to take a seat. "Come here, Ness." She obliged, dusting off her dress and giving one last sigh at the little one, and then went to take a seat.
"I've been unsettled about them coyotes since the day the family arrived. You think it's happening again?" Nessie asked as she sat down.
Chauncey flipped through the pages. "It's too soon to tell, but I do know that this house has rules– and it surely will bring down the guillotine if they ain't followed."
"That's what I be worried about," she replied, locking eyes with him. "The Misses and the children… they be innocent."
He went back to the scrapbook. "You think that? That the Misses and the chil'dn ain't got no idea of the impact that the Master has on a household– or an entire town for that matter? Phooey, I don't believe at that all, Nessie. Not one bit."
Chauncey was right. Every man of any house was known to do things of a questionable nature… and, with that, it was the role of the wife (and anyone below her) to keep those questionable secrets dug deep down into the floorboards, until there were enough blankets to cover those secrets up completely. And… forever.
For that was the foundation upon which this house was built.
The house was built in 1865, right as the Civil War had make its mark on the nation forever. The original oak flooring was refurbished, as best as it could be, when the Mason family took it over. Rumors went about town that many had died on the property, whether it be from the Typhoid Fever, malnourishment or an empty heart– each one more deadly than the next. The basement had been used as a place for the men of the town to meet and plan their next strategic move. Men would crowd the basement, smelling of gun powder and brandy, barking orders to one another and letting their bravery speak for itself with every wound.
One fateful night, a southern general had brought his mistress down to share a drink with his men. She had waltzed in wearing her powder-blue hoop skirt and perfectly matched corset. Her skin appeared to glow as her curls carefully kissed the side of her neck down to her bosom. Her beady eyes were a piercing shade of blue, with a small speck of red in each eye. She wore jewelry much like that of a gypsy.
The gentlemen enjoyed the company of this misses, for they had been at war for quite some time. She sat quietly listening to them swap war horror stories, sharing a bottle of brandy. Each man proudly boasted about the many lifeless bodies for which he was responsible– until suddenly, the breathing of the men began to slow. Their eyes widened, and as each one grasped for air, it was clear…. Poison. This magnetic –yet mysterious– gypsy, who had never taken a sip, took a liquid spell to all in her path. As the general's hand reached up for one last cry for mercy, she knelt down by his side and removed her Diamond Gothic pendant, laying it upon his chest.
The bodies were discovered many weeks later. From then on, the house had been cursed in the eyes of the town. The gypsy woman was never to be seen again. The war had come and gone, but the secrets under the floorboard remained. Who was the gypsy who had come to wreak havoc? Who had sent her?
Nessie palmed the newspaper clipping of the murders of 1865. The idea that the curse could one day come back was displeasing to Nessie, and Chauncey knew it.
The basement door above creaked.
"Nessie! NESS! Come on now, the guests are ready to go!" hollered Dorothy.
Chauncey and Nessie exchanged looks. "I'll send Neena down to take care of the baby," she said as she rose from the bedside.
Chauncey nodded in agreement. "Whatever you have brewing in your mind, Ms. Nessie, ain't too far from the truth. If the stories about this house are true, then there's hell to be paid."
Nessie turned back past Chauncey to the baby once more, and became locked into a stare. Thinking. Then Nessie nodded politely and hurried out of the door, securing the wall properly the way they had all been taught to do. She climbed the stairwell, and when the bright lights finally hit her eyes, it was enough to force a subtle squint as she gently closed the basement door.
"Comin', Madame," she mustered in a defeated tone, making her way to the kitchen again.
From behind the wall, Walter Mason watched Nessie scurry down the hallway. The master of the house really does see everything, doesn't he?

RONQUILLO, PEDRO DE (?–?). As Spanish ambassador to England in the late seventeenth century, Pedro de Ronquillo played a vital diplomatic role in dealing with the French threat in America. Although King Charles II of England was noted for his mercenary relationship with Louis XIV of France, Ronquillo obtained from him news of the renegade Spaniard Conde de Peñalosa's scheming with the Sun King to conquer parts of New Spain. On Charles's death in 1685, his brother, the Catholic James II, took the English throne. James manifested a new friendliness toward Spain, and Ronquillo was instructed to cultivate the friendship and assure the new king of Spain's close alliance and support. It became a crucial matter when, in March 1686, word reached Spain of La Salleqv's invasion of the Gulf of Mexico. Though at first not convinced that La Salle posed a real threat, Ronquillo spared no effort to carry out his instructions. As a result, James II issued a warning to Louis XIV against extending his American possessions at Spain's expense and is said to have received Louis's reassurance. Ronquillo was successful also in gathering information on La Salle. On February 7, 1687, he forwarded to the viceroy of New Spain a copy of a report of La Salle's activities on the Texas coast up to the time the ship Joly had left to return to France and copies of maps of the Matagorda Bay area drawn by the French engineer Minetqv. The document and maps enabled the Spanish officers who had found the wreckage of La Salle's ships to reconcile their data and strengthened their belief that La Salle had met disaster and no longer posed a threat.

Amazing stuff
Juanita Kinzie, Meth Addict, Allegedly Kills Child, Hides Body Under Trailer
Breakfast reading from the Village Voice Empire: Kinzie regained custody of her three-year-old son in January 2011, and that was the last time relatives saw him. Meanwhile, folks residing near a trailer where they once lived began reporting a foul stench. Westword has the story.
More links from around the web!
great stuff
great stuff
it's so sad and frustrating for a little innocent child to suffer that way. rest in peace, sweet child :(
Writer, http://bulletproofvestsforsale...
I guess the child's father must do something wrong for the child's mother, so she choose to do this to revenge. Sorry for my bad English.
The fact that a 3 yr old child could not be persuaded, by his own mother, to go with her voluntarily~even with the promise of toys & candy~was a huge red flag right there! He was 3, but didn't want toys or candy?!?! Even another 3 yr old could have seen the problem there!
I can't get this particular story out of my head for some reason, it's eating at me, how easily this could have been prevented. Poor, poor little guy.
this is why anybody who had taken drugs, if ever they have children should be taken away from them. the child's future is at stake.
Writer, www.purchaselevelivbodyarmor.w...
That poor baby! They need to take babies away from those drug addict parents so they can't kill any more of them. I'm sick and tired of this happening.
This is that terribly sad story I was posting about the other day.....=.(. . I agree with luvthepugs
stupid, dumb cunt!!! Hang the bitch!!!!
I'm guessing that the best thing to do is go around and start turning over rocks. Then when you find scum like this, just kill it. Maybe it'll keep the nasties from crawling out from under em.
RIP kid :(
She looks like she really gives a damn about her dead baby boy. Bitch.
@Sammmmmmmmmmmmmm:disqus, in the US we suck when it comes to giving a royal damn about kids. Its very sad. And people get pissed off because we lock up drug addicts. These sick f*ckers need to be locked up and this is why.
SMDH so much right now am giving myself whiplash. Why o why did this cunt get custody back when she obviously didn't want it? Why was the child assigned to her when she was obviously in no fit state to care for even herself?? Why did social services not do ANY check ups on the little babe after putting him back into a situation with a past of domestic abuse and drugs??? Why didn't his family members push for the police to do a welfare check on the child / report the child missing when they weren't getting anywhere with social services???? Why didn't ANYbody follow up on the reports of stench throughout summer?????
Unbelievable. So many people have failed this beautiful boy. RIP little Caleb.
You know, I understand you are trying to make money and such by spamming news threads, could you at least note what the story is about so you don't look like an idiot, saying "great stuff" about a meth head killing their child... just makes you look stupid and certainly don't want a stupid person writing essays for me.
if only it were that easy
I guess I would have to say it depends on the type of drugs. My parents were potheads and pain pills were used by them both (although I believe my dad didn't abuse them as he had very real, serious pain.) I grew up knowing I was loved and while I wasn't spoiled, I never went without...
Anybody who takes drugs like heroin and meth etc should be locked up if they have kids until they are completely clean, then the courts should only consider visitation.
Not just the US - sadly we have plenty of similar stories here. Douchebag parenting must be a global affliction... :/
It is SO sad and discouraging. You would think that here in AMERICA that witnesses would report abuse and neglect on children. I'm 38 now but my younger brother and I were both abused as children, in many ways. Everyone knew, other residents in our apartment complex, teachers, family friends. People felt sorry for my brother and I, they would give us food (we were so skinny we were teased about being ethiopians), we even had ONE teacher that would pick us up early in the morning before school and bring us to breakfast for a brief period of time but other than that we had no intervention, we had plenty of sympathy but no real help. I only disclosed this about myself because Id like to add that you'd be surprised at how many people of ALL walks of life (Law Enforcement, Teachers, Social workers) will turn their heads and ignore abuse of children. It's absolutely unbelieveable and UNACCEPTABLE to me. Its very SAD.
R.I.P Lil' Angel Caleb (I hope your egg donor burns in hell)
get out of my head Sam, I'm using it this morning... and you took my words
I commented above regarding abuse I suffered as A child. Id like to add after seeing your post that my parents were Heroine addicts so I completely agree with you. I've never completely forgiven my parents (they're both deceased now) because they made the choice to do the drugs and abuse BUT I also feel that if they had NOT been addicts they may not have been abusive. I tell myself that it was the drugs abusing me, it's easier for me to cope that way. Before I learnt to cope that way I was very self-destructive such as, if my parents never loved me why would anyone else?, I had no self worth until I learnt a few coping skills such as blaming the drug as opposed to my "clean" parent.
So sad. I look at my own kids and I can't even bare to think of them being hungry or hurt or neglected.
Sadly people don't give a shit till it happens to them or someone close to them.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. Every respect for being able to grow into - from what little i can see here - a sensible, educated, empathic person.
*resolves to be extra vigilant to any abuse in her vicinity*
Your head? There's so much room in here i thought we were in mine this morning... :)
It's not just 'telling' yourself that it was the drugs abusing you, I'm sure it was the truth. People that knew your parents before they were addicts, would tell you they were no longer the same people. I hope you understand that I am, in no way, excusing your parents behavior because they were addicts. I am glad for you, that you've learned to cope, and move forward. =)
Exactly, and I don't think that many parents get this about why a parent's love makes a difference in the way a child feels about his/herself. If they don't efing love us, who will?? We will surely hate ourselves to death if we don't have a reason not to. UGH. Lets talk about something more uplifting.
I appreciate your kind comments, Sam, Thank you. I think I do have my s*it together, mostly. I definitely have baggage that rears its ugly head occasionally.
As your husband, that is exactly how I feel about my parents. If it wasn't for her abuse and his passiveness and chicken shit attitude about it, I'd probably be a POS parent too. I have them to thank for the wonderful relationship I have with my kids. Frankly, I am happy to have endured all their sick BS so that mine could be without the baggage. Its crazy to say that I am a better person because I had s*itty parents.
Sorry you had to go through that. For what it's worth, you seem like a very together and level-headed person now. Strange about how the bad stuff always haunts, isn't it? I always have to remind myself that everything i've been through has made me into the person i am today, and i wouldn't change that person for the world. (well, maybe a breast lift in a few years time! :)
My hubby always tells me his father taught him to be a better dad, by showing him exactly how NOT to do it.
We can start a club.
I had a parent that was abusive without the excuse of drugs or alcohol. The feelings I was left with are no different than all of yours. I really think that having a child of my own gave me feelings of love and worth and that is how I was able to pull my head out. I wanted to give him good feelings and I couldn't do that properly without feeling good about myself. IDK why but for some reason all the bad s*it is easiest to believe and hang on to.
It does seem so tragic that over the years you would expect people to start paying attention around them. I am glad you have found a way to cope.
I was given up for adoption by a parent that said ok as long as you don't bring her back.... it does become hard not to see yourself in that light of, if they don't love me who will. As Sam said earlier, it would appear that you have stayed strong and moved forward with your life and not let it keep you down. Always be strong in yourself!!! Good luck!
I'm sorry you had that experience, and I'm glad to hear that it sounds like you've done some real work on overcoming that shaky beginning. You'll be surprised, too, someday, if / when you are able to forgive your parents, how helpful that will be to you, how liberating.
Sorry to hear that but I am glad you have come through it and have learnt to cope.
I agree, I can't even stand it when my kids have their feelings hurt, and they aren't even kids anymore. It's such a foreign concept to me, child abuse/neglect/murder. Most of us can't wrap our heads around these tragedies, because most of us(even childless people)have a built-in instinct to protect children, especially our own, but all children really.
Bad parent(s)=tragedy, waiting to happen.
Bad parent(s)+drug addiction=tragedy, waiting to be discovered.
You are so right, and if more people were willing to get involved, a lot of these awful things wouldn't end so badly. I do understand the fear of reporting someone, and maybe being wrong, but when you see the alternative, f**k the fear, CALL someone. In this case, like some other posters have said, there were so many people who may have been able to prevent this, if only ONE of them had done the right thing, at the right time, this poor angel might not have his wings already.

so... how bout the weather....
.... not really ....
.....and this is where I get off (subject change).
Well it sure as hell isn't as damn tiring! :)
You trying to say you like to watch. =)
'kay... so is that you and your 5 other personalities, or you and your 'five-fingered friend'? ;)
Room for one more? 2 is company, 8 is an orgy.
ok fine....move over
