This Is Probably The Craziest Thing I’ve Seen In A While. It’s A Big Bag Of NO WAY.

Of all the things I would never do in a billion years, sleeping in a bag attached to the side of a cliff is right at the top. But apparently not everyone shares that sentiment with me, as is evident from these pictures below of crazy climbers doing what they love. Being crazy…up in the mountains. I love to experience and explore nature for myself, but then there are things I’m quite happy to let others experience on my behalf. I’m just happy looking at the pictures with sweaty palms.

So much trust in their equipment, I don’t even trust the chair I’m currently sitting on. Source: imgur Share these pictures of crazy climbers with your friends below, and hope they aren’t afraid of heights.

Rick Perry claims GOP positioned itself to the left of the electorate

http://twitter.com/#!/trscoop/status/312287410841088002

Texas Gov. Rick Perry ripped into the GOP’s last two presidential nominees in his speech at CPAC today. “The popular media narrative is that this country has shifted away from conservative ideals, as evidenced by the last two presidential elections,” Perry said. He followed up with, “That might be true if Republicans had actually nominated conservative candidates in 2008 and 2012.”

Perry supporters on the web ate it up.

Alas, the 2012 election results do not provide much support for his hypothesis.

In battleground states Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, outperformed relatively conservative GOP Senate candidates.

Even in conservative Texas, Romney performed nearly as well as Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz: Romney carried the state by 16 points, while Sen. Cruz won by 17 points.

We won’t even mention Indiana and Missouri.

Yet Perry implies the Republican Party will prevail if it moves to the right.

Isn’t it pretty to think so?

‘Ew, ick!’ Spotlighting motherhood makes NYT correspondent say ‘ugh’

http://twitter.com/#!/FuriousDShow/status/519984184740569088

Is there a more insulting role than “mom”? According to New York Times correspondent Julie Bosman, you’d be hard-pressed to find one:

SMH. New York Times Correspondent says "Ugh" to review of best selling author calling her a "Mom." https://t.co/k4SlS24eVn

Let’s have a look:

Wrote a critically acclaimed, bestselling book and a hit screenplay? Still a "mom" first, says @peoplemag. #ugh pic.twitter.com/VPpcDDsp3u

Ewww! “Mom” is such an icky word!

@juliebosman WOOOOOOOOOWWOWOW

@juliebosman @peoplemag You’ve GOT to be kidding me.

— Kristi Luther (@KALuther) October 8, 2014

@juliebosman @LianaBrooks @peoplemag You seem surprised that we're defined by the function of our uteri : P

— Cathy Pegau (@CathyPegau) October 8, 2014

@juliebosman @peoplemag Because biology is destiny? Because reproductive status is all that makes women interesting or valuable? Meh.

— Mary Margaret (@MaryMeg) October 8, 2014

@juliebosman @peoplemag Ick! Do "they" ever mention Dad status for a male writer? Hemingway first and foremost a "dad?" Nope.

@juliebosman I'm so sorry. The more accomplished a woman, the more pejorative the patriarchy @peoplemag @younglibrarian

@mattdpearce @juliebosman @peoplemag woof

— Scott Heins (@scottheins) October 8, 2014

Yeah, woof. And, well, don’t even get Julie started on mothers-to-be:

On the same page: @peoplemag story about Rosamund Pike focuses on fact that she's pregnant. Why? pic.twitter.com/0o181SMETh

— Julie Bosman (@juliebosman) October 8, 2014

Because patriarchy. DUH.

I long for the days when women's magazines assigned profiles of writers just because their work was interesting.

— Julie Bosman (@juliebosman) October 8, 2014

With all due respect, Julie, give it a rest already. What’s wrong with a woman embracing motherhood as part of her identity? What’s wrong with respecting that?

Ew, ick! How dare they say "MOM." It's not like it's the most important job in the world or anything.

— Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) October 8, 2014

.@juliebosman @peoplemag Maybe she sees her job as a Mom as the most important? Some of us do, you know. #UghToYou

— Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) October 8, 2014

.@KatMcKinley @juliebosman @peoplemag I remember when we all honored moms. What happened?

Mental Health Disorders in Adolescents

Mental Health Disorders in Adolescents provides essential information to help parents, educators, and general practitioners find effective ways to identify and treat psychiatric disorders that many teens face. The first of two reader-friendly sections, “Recognizing the Problem, Finding Help, and Negotiating the System,” is designed to help caregivers navigate the often confusing adolescent mental health system. Readers will find comprehensive information about when and how to seek help and the kinds of treatments that are available, including a detailed discussion of psychiatric medications and psychotherapy options. “Common Psychiatric Problems in Adolescence,” the second section, offers information on specific psychiatric disorders, including symptoms and warning signs, diagnostic evaluations, treatment options, prognosis, and associated risks for each disorder. Additionally, Eric P. Hazen, Mark A. Goldstein, and Myrna Chandler Goldstein have compiled two practical appendices-one provides a list of resources, organizations, books, websites, and phone numbers for further information and support. The other serves as a “treatment organizer” to help parents know what school and medical data to bring to a psychiatric evaluation and teach them how to keep track of important discussions related to their child’s treatment. By recognizing the early symptoms of a psychiatric disorder, adults may be able to save a teen’s life. Mental Health Disorders in Adolescents offers real options to anyone searching for ways to help at-risk teens.

Experiencing Psychosis

Extensive scientific research has been conducted into understanding and learning more about psychotic experiences. However, in existing research the voice of subjective experience is rarely taken into consideration. In this book, first-person accounts are brought centre-stage and examined alongside current research to suggest how personal experience can contribute to professional understanding, and therefore the treatment, of psychosis. Experiencing Psychosis brings together a range of contributors who have either experienced psychosis on a personal level or conducted research into the topic. Chapters are presented in pairs providing information from both personal and research perspectives on specific aspects of psychosis including: hearing voices, delusional beliefs, and trauma as well as cultural, existential and spiritual issues. Experts from the field recognise that first and foremost psychosis is a human experience and that those who suffer from psychotic episodes must have some involvement in any genuine attempts to make sense of the experience. This book will be essential reading for all mental health professionals involved with psychosis. The accessible style and compelling personal histories will also attract service users and their families.
