Anxiety and Dizziness - My Dizzy Spells Turned Out to Be Anxiety

July 2nd, 2009
Anxiety and dizziness: most folks would never link them. And I was no different until I suffered an agonizing anxiety attack (panic attack). I should have seen the warning signs. For several weeks before, I had been having short dizzy spells, maybe a couple a day. Not like the dizziness where your head spins like a top. Mine was more subtle, like standing up too quickly, a bit lightheadedness, you know what I mean? At first I didn't think much of it, maybe a bit of stress, I certainly didn't ...

Training Technique

June 29th, 2009
Having an effective training plan is very important, but if you are reinforcing bad habits or technique with your training you are working against yourself. Technique, form, and skill are often overlooked facets of training. Athletes should spend a portion of each season perfecting their form, just as they work on strength, endurance, and speed.

Decency

June 28th, 2009
All of nature has rules. Although unwritten and unspoken, in a primitive and savage way, right and wrong still exist there. The alpha wolf decides what is right in the pack because it possesses the physical power to exert its will. A tree may dictate what is right by exuding toxic chemicals into the soil out to its root perimeter in order to extinguish competing plants. A lion takes prey from a hyena and a hyena takes it from a leopard because that is the order of things and therefore the right ...

Who Owns You?

June 24th, 2009
Who Owns You?Jim Kirwan6-20-09 When I talk to people I get the feeling that they believe their lives belong to them and only to them; in part because as Americans they believe they are actually free people.

Are you ready to listen - let's talk?

June 18th, 2009
Are you ready to listen - let's talk? Really can someone tell me: Where are we going as a human race? What do you think? Take a moment out of your busy day and try to reflect on that very small question that we always try to avoid. What am I doing with my life as an individual? We live in a society that is becoming increasingly built up on emptiness, vagueness, superficiality and jealousy. At one point it will be just like putting a needle in that inflated balloon and we will all explode. Eithe...

TOP REPUBLICANS RAISE THE VOLUME ON TEN COMMANDMENTS JUDGE ROY

June 13th, 2009
When former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore acted on principle and refused to adhere to a federal court order that he considered was both unlawful and improper, he never thought that his actions would lead to an overwhelming groundswell of support from across the country. His stance made headlines and brought international attention to this modern-day, David vs. Goliath showdown.

Fahrenheit 9/11

June 12th, 2009
I watched Fahrenheit 9/11 a few days ago and found many aspects of the movie interesting. Some of the ideas discussed within the movie I had heard before. Many from newspapers and others from news radio shows or CNN. The movie starts out showing the 2000 Presidential Election. It goes through the Florida debacle and shows video clips of what happened on the Senate floor. There were several people who testified on behalf of the people in Florida about the wrong doings. However since no Senator ...
