Titleist Golf Ball Success

September 21st, 2011 | Author: stlou

Titleist on top at the old course as Oosthuizen takes control to claim 139th open championship. Seven stroke Open Championship victory for Pro V1 player Louis Oosthuizen as Titleist is the #1 ball for 31st consecutive year.

South African Louis Oosthuizen (Pro V1x) claimed the 139th Open Championship around the Old Course St. Andrews in a marvellous display of controlled and precision golf. The Pro V1x loyalist claimed the coveted Claret Jug by seven strokes from fellow Pro V1x player Lee Westwood, shooting a near flawless 71 to finish with a 272 total. The 27 year old became the fourth South African to claim the Open Championship by increasing his overnight 4 shot lead to an unassailable 7 stroke winning margin, the second highest winning margin ever in Championship history.

In a week that saw the most accomplished field in world golf gather to compete around the most recognisable golf course in the world, Titleist was the most resounding choice of golf ball with 90 players from a field of 156 choosing either Pro V1 or Pro V1x. The impressive tally of Titleist loyalists shadowed the nearest competitor (20) with more than four times their total and more than all other golf balls combined, ensuring that Titleist was the #1 ball at The Open Championships for the 31st consecutive year.

At the top of the leaderboard, Oosthuizen and Westwood were joined by fellow Pro V1x players Rory McIlroy and Henrik Stenson in the top five. Full line Titleist player McIlory recovered impressively after a tough second day to finish in a tie for third. McIlroy was playing a full bag of Titleist clubs including a 909D2 driver, 909F3 and 906F2 fairway metals, MB irons, Vokey Design wedges and Scotty Cameron Newport Fastback putter. The winner of the Amateur Silver medal was also using a full bag of Titleist equipment including Pro V1x, 909D3 driver, 909F3 fairway metal, AP2 irons, Vokey Design wedges, Scotty Cameron Coronado putter, to record an impressive top 15 finish. Across the entire field Titleist was the top choice in the iron (37) and wedge (110) categories.

Elsewhere Titleist Brand Ambassador Aaron Goldberg (Pro V1x,) captured his first Canadian Tour title at the Players Cup by one stroke. Oosthuizen and Goldberg’s victories boosted Titleist worldwide win count to 71, more than four times that of the nearest competitor with 16.

Another Major victory for the legendary Pro V1x and yet another Open ball count majority for Titleist provides further proof, that at the highest level, the game’s elite choose Titleist above all others.

Golf Get Into Brazil Because Of Olympic

September 21st, 2011 | Author: stlou

Brazil has excellent golf greens in its top travel destinations. There are many golf clubs and greens in Sao Paulo district, more than in any other Brazilian state. It’s easy to play golf once in place, even near Sao Paulo beach zones: Guaruja and Santos. But do you know the history and rencent development of golf in Brazil?

Golf made its debut at the second modern Olympics in Paris in 1900, but was dropped after the 1904 games in St. Louis. The sport was returned to the Olympic roster by an International Olympic Committee vote in 2009 that also guaranteed it a place in 2020, but its participation beyond that will largely depend on an IOC evaluation after the Rio Games.

Brazilian Olympic organizers and local officials are in the final process of choosing the course’s location, and the decision may be announced within two months, before IOC officials arrive in Rio for an Olympic project and TaylorMade R7 CGB Max Fairway Wood review in late April.

]]>

Though it’s possible an established private course could be renovated, it’s likely a new course will be built in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood of Rio, where most sports will be played during the Olympics, Pacheco said.

Officials want a public course to help boost the sport locally and develop it after the Olympics. Besides the course, organizers also want to build training academies and schools to develop golf professionals. Brazil has only one player in the U.S. PGA Tour, Alexandre Rocha.

Brazilian golf officials want to bring other high-profile events to the country ahead of the Olympics, and there is a chance for Mizuno JPX E-Metal Fairway Wood in the Presidents Cup will be played in Rio in 2015.

Local governments will handle the cost of building or revamping a course for the Olympic competition, which will consist of a 72-hole stroke-play event for men and women, with 60 players in each field. Golf officials have promised the IOC they will not stage any major championships on the dates of the Olympic tournament.

Though golf has grown in popularity in Brazil, it remains an elite sport in the football-mad nation, where there are fewer than 30,000 golfers and just over 100 courses. The only true public course is the nine-hole Japeri Golfe Clube in Rio.

There is hope the Olympics will change that, helping attract more courses and making the sport more popular, changing the perspective many Brazilians have about golf and u may want to know about Callaway New RAZR X Irons

2011/2012 universal predictions

September 21st, 2011 | Author: stlou

2011/2012 UNIVERSAL PREDICTIONS

Check the predictions on TV show too from http://cosmiccode7.ning.com/video/dr-louis-turi-universal-1

IMPORTANT NOTE: While my predictions are available to the general public, one in particular reffering to a “very large California earthquake” as expected, has been used indiscriminately by some people using my indisputable record of predictions. The timing (June/December) is correct but I need more time and more channeling to confirm the location and year. These crucial predictions were supposed to be kept confidential as far as location are concerned not to alarm the population so please trust ONLY my source and my “SOS To The World” Windows regularly posted at Cosmic Code http://cosmiccode7.ning.com/

They are a lot of famous so-called psychics and astrologers out there but I am the ONLY ONE in the entire world that offers fully documented and dated predictions on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and many other popular websites.

Many famous psychics make predictions that supposed to take place sometime “in the future” but my readers can appreciate my timing and dated prognistications much more. Don’t let those who have a name fool you or let you believe they are better to offer you by charging you a fortune for their service when they DONT. Use common sense and logic when requesting anyone’ services. Psychic accidents are very real and unless you have solid proofs or their talent do not offer them with your fragile psyche. Before engaging with any psychic, astrologer or medium Click Here and First Read This Thoughtfully

NOTE: Many people emailed me wondering why my predictions are so depressing. First it seems that people tend to remember negativity better than positivism, but understand that I am NOT responsible for the world’s ignorance and its misfortune. 99% of the world’s leaders and the masses in the name of ignorance or religious poisoning are totally unacquainted to the Universal laws. Simply imagine going shopping and completely ignore all stop signs and red lights on your way and see what happen to you.

Not knowing and omitting the Cosmic Code or God’s Celestial rules is NOT a valuable excuse and the penalty is very real. DO NOT BLAME ME for not respecting those regulations instead brings forth your own cosmic consciousness so that YOU do NOT become a victim. As much as I can point out drama in my predictions; when I perform a live VIP or a 90 MN taped Full Life Reading I focus much more on the positive impact than the negative outcome. I also teach you those implacable laws so that you do not become a victim. You have a choice, I made mine and live a more safe and productive life. “Ignorance is evil knowledge is power” mess up with the Cosmic Code ignore the “signs” and pay the heavy penalty!

“Man is superior to the stars if he lives in the power of superior wisdom. Such a person being the master over heaven and earth by means of his will is a magus and magic is not sorcery but supreme wisdom”

Dr. Louis Turi is forever inviting those who don’t believe in the powers of precognition to check his predictions against real events and judge for themselves the true values of his unique work in predictive astrology. The books publishing, printing and dated televisions and radio programs process makes these predictions totally unarguable!

If you work for a magazine or a newspaper simply forward my forewarning to the editors, all of you have my permission to use and reproduce this material. Please help me in my pledge to educate and prepare the world for the year 2012 and bring hopes to mankind.

It is imperative for the reader to acknowledge that my methodology is totally unique, well ahead of conventional psychology and Psychiatry accepted disciplines. Dr. Turi’s expertise is utterly scientifically oriented where a similar software used by NASA is utilized to accurately “read” potential terrorists criminals and the common person using the Cosmic Code jurisdictions. Dr. Turi’s Halloran software is also used to help our courageous Law Enforcement officers in need of guidance or spiritual encouragement. Again, I do not predict anything, I am not a psychic and all I am trying to do is to make you aware that unseen powerful forces are at work. We all know, the weather, calamities, history and the news REPEAT themselves and I happen to know the exact timing.
Channeling The Greatest Prophet Of All Times “Michel De Notre Dame”

Because of the severity of these predictions (and the current state of the US economy) I have decided to publish these predictions for free. If you are a regular reader, you know my accuracy in predictive astrology approaches 98%. Thus I can only suggest the reader to take me seriously and pass on these predictions to the world for the future has always and will always be my true faithful witness. While the following predictions are numerous they are generated for the mass only and as a child of the Universe you are a vibrant part of the whole Cosmic Code manifestation. If you cannot afford any of my readings at least become a VIP for I have much more in store for you to read in 2011. Every one of you will be directly touched by these karmic stars and knowing what the new Dragon has in store for you personally can make the difference between becoming a victim or lead a productive safer life. No one is above God’s jurisdiction and he created the stars to be used as sign each that every one of you must acknowledge and follow. Trust me to take good care of you and point out where this Dragon is in your chart for knowledge is power and ignorance is evil. Order a reading or become a VIP but for your own sake heed God’ signs to own his protection.

You have my permission to pass on this material and if you did not yet watch my last 3 TV shows broadcasted April 15th where I gave the date of April 20th, 2010 and prepared the world for “shocking news and explosions do so from my Ning website Click here

May the creator protects everyone of my readers and may you find in this work what the future holds for the world at large.

The new transiting Dragon (already in action) DEMANDS the world to cooperate and communicate in a Universal manner. This draconic energy will force a general restructure of ALL FORMS OF COMMUNICATIONS; this includes the printed spoken words, magazines, newspapers, radios the wood/paper industry forcing a new “Universal” electronic means of communication. This “Act Of God” will allow the world to reach a “liberal” wider type of education preparing humankind for greater changes in communication/education as we approach the year 2012.

Update: December 1st 2010: CNN – WikiLeaks is an international non-profit media organization that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous sources and leaks. Its website, launched in 2006, is run by The Sunshine Press. Within a year of its launch, the site claimed a database that had grown to more than 1.2 million documents.

Read Cosmic Code newsletter titled;”WikiLeaks And Humanity’s Future” published December 1st 2010 for more information – Click here

Continued – The transportation industry, car makers, trains, airlines, buses including the post office are also about to undergo a full restructure and the serious changes will affect every one of us directly. The broadcasting industry, the telephone industry, the transportation industry, the deforestation industry the paper industry and so many others corporations related to these endeavors (large bookstores Chains) will be directly/indirectly affected by the changes where many people will gain/lose their positions.

Update: January 24th 2011: CNN – Post Office to close another 2,000 locations
Update: September 27th 2010: CNN – Southwest to buy AirTran
Update: September 4th 2010: CNN – Race to Nowhere Documentary!
Update: September 3rd 2010: CNN – Ferrari Recall Super Car!
Update: August 18th 2010: CNN – High Speed Train in The Us!
Update: August 3rd 2010: CNN – Barnes & Noble UP for Sale!
Update: August 8th 2010: CNN – iPhone on Verizon January 2011

A few years ago the human race and Mother Earth experienced a “fire” dragon producing serious heat waves and firestorms (California/Australia fires) producing over 15000 deaths in France. Click here

Back in 2004 we experienced a “water” Dragon producing a series of deadly hurricanes “predicted to the day on Coast To Coast AM radio with George Noory” and the devastating Asia tsunami. Note also, every one of these calamities were fully predicted in my yearly Moon Power publications. You may check what I wrote for the Asia Tsunami back in 2004 and check my claims.Click here

As you read my well documented, dated set of predictions you will also notice the prediction of the Full restructure of the secret Agency FBI/CIA and of course, 911 including the prediction of the US economy to name a few.

We are fast moving to an “AIR” dragon that will have the “weather man” wondering what the heck is going on and all the fire fighters on their toes.

]]>

Update: December 3rd, 2010: –Haifa, Israel (CNN) — Police said Friday that they suspect arson in the wildfire that has killed at least 41 people and injured 17 in northern Israel over the past two days.Changing winds made the fight against the fire very difficult. Officials called the wildfire, which had scorched more than 7,400 acres and continued to burn, the worst in the nation’s history.

I see quite a lot of tornadoes; wind storms, sand storms, fire storms stopping traffic (check 2011 Moon power Supernova windows for most impact) and such a “wind” activity can only make the upcoming hurricane “season” a very busy one. Again do not expect the NWS or science at large to remotely understand the inner workings of the Cosmic Code or God’ sign plaguing the world in the year 2011 until August 2012.

Update: November 23rd, 2010: CNN – Midwest hit hard by extreme winds, flash floods

Update: December 2nd, 2010: — Shifting winds from the storm front that is moving through the eastern United States produced heavy snow has shut down Interstate 90 near Buffalo, New York, leaving motorists stranded for more than 12 hours as of Thursday morning, with more snow on the way.

Then as of August 2010 we will be on for an interesting dance where all the forces of EVIL will battle the force of LIGHT! This is where it will pay off to become a VIP Cosmic Code subscriber and be prepared! I am fully aware of the current state of the economy and I am doing my very best by offering samples of my Cosmic Code Newsletter for free to the public and as the economy improve, if you are into my work you will have to become a VIP to read more of my predictions. I indeed did much more than anyone else in this field for my readers by offering my book Moon Power and my VIP newsletters for FREE for too long and like everything else this is now over. JOIN USClick here

I understand the financial situation of people produced by this terrible economy but the reality is when you offer too much for free people tend to expect more and do not realize how valuable (if not priceless) REAL predictions really are and lose interest. But once my works disappear from your mailbox you will then realize how important my work and I were in your life. You must realize how, at 60 years old I am now very tired and my terrible experience with cancer made me aware how precious life really is. I guess I chose working 24 / 7 for you instead of going fishing and enjoying what is left of my life with my new wife Terania but how long this will last? One day I will have to slow down and write only for my VIP’s because they have invested in me and trusted my work.

Continued – On a more positive note I see an explosion of electrical wind mills, new water/air car technology and a mind bohggling 3D photography technology but serious challenges still for the general printing industry and associates.

2011 Jupiter / Mercury Impact

America, born July 4th 1776, will receive the Dragon’s Tail on her 12th house as of March 2011 forcing a total re-structure of the working force and its basic physical organizations. On a spiritual US / world meaning this dragon will induce a serious increase in mental problems (dementia/depressions/schizophrenia etc.) where medications will make the situation worse. Expect dramatic news and a serious increase involving suicides.

Update July 7th, 2010:

Dr.Turi:

Two months ago I believe there were 72 – last month I reported 80 (?) if my memory serves me.I just pulled up the stats for the same area for the 8/7 to 9/7 time frame. Unbelievable! 122 lost souls took their lives! This should confirm to all your prediction of more suicides. Have others check their areas. And our poor officers who have to roll up on these day after day must be taking its toll as well.
Blessings,
Susan K.

Update December 12th, 2010 – “Madoff’s son commited suicide in his appartment in N.Y.”
Update December 9th, 2010 – “Justin, one of our close friend commited suicide in his appartment in LA.”
Update June 2nd, 2010 – “Inside China factory hit by suicides”
Update July 15th, 2010 – “Death Of Texas Mayor/daughter ruled as SUICIDE/homicide.”
Update July 15th, 2010 – Army Officials “Troops are committing suicide at a record rate.”
Update July 15th, 2010 – State Prison Officials ” Inmate are committing suicide at a record rate.”
Update July 15th, 2010 – Workplace Suicides in the U.S. on the Rise?
Update August 16th, 2010 – Border Patrol Sees Rise in Suicides
Update: October 18th 2010: – Surge in Gay Teen Suicide
Read more from Click here

Continued – Many victims will be a portion of the religious poisoned mass awaiting the “end of times.” Our infantile science will be at loss wondering why the weakened human spirit became so lost and desperate so fast. To make the situation worse, the prescribed medications will be channeled by the nefarious Mercurial dragon into the human respiratory system producing numerous fatalities. Much of the investigations and scientific findings will be kept secret but in time will come to light. Remember 2 years ago when I predicted the Dragon was aiming for famous people and their children? Time has proven me right with this prediction too as we lost a record of famous people and children last 2 years. (see 2009 Universal Predictions long list.Click here

I see the real estate booming again, as the country infrastructure is changing . The old road / signal / bridges systems will be replaced by “round points”, the stock market will experience a slow but sure recovery especially in July / June and January / December 2010/2011. A US state city will suffer a natural disaster bringing millions to surrounding states, especially Arizona. This calamity will take place during one of my SOS Deadly Uranic / Moonic or Plutonic Window.

I see a serious terrorist gas attack and/or a pulmonary diseases coming from birds or poultry. This Mercurial energy aims for the birds and will manifest its negative power in the air and water (MX predicted oil spill).

OH SAYS CAN YOU SEE GOD’SIGNS?

Five thousand blackbirds died in Arkansas. One hundred pelicans died near Jacksonville, North Carolina. Three hundred doves died in Italy. Seventy bats in died Tucson, Arizona. Thousands of fish died in Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Sweden, Brazil and the United States.

Update: January 4th 2011: – Thousands of birds fell from the sky after Midnight New Year Eve in Arkansas.

Read more from “Dead Birds Don’t Talk!” published 01/04/2011 – Click here

Continued:I also see the worse aeronautical disaster and this is why it is important to plan in respect of the Universal Laws of the Moon found in all my Moon Power books. Again the “energy” will manifest itself during a Supernova window and after any of the 2011 full moon.

Like the 2010 version, the new 2011 Moon Power (eBook) will be offered for FREE when you sign for your 2011 VIP Cosmic Code subscription.

The US financial situation will see serious improvement as we move on into the year 2011/12. Back in December 2007 I prepared the world for what would become the current crisis with US economy and gave the date of March 2011 for its end. It seems I was yet, once again right as we approach the end of 2010. Jupiter impact will force Mexico, Spain, Portugal and all Latino countries to undergo a total change of regime where bloody revolutions will take many lives. I see a form of “revolution” in the US too around July 2010 where politicians will battle with themselves and the media to get reelected. The finger of evil is pointed at the US around July 2010 and I can only hope to be wrong in the upcoming disturbance and / or calamity.

The new administration is doing all in its power to control the abusive unconcerned greedy capitalist’s corporations and our President is a target for assassination by self absorbed groups. I see President Obama doing serious work in foreign land resuscitating the US image to the world. But I see him also in danger while flying Air Force One. I see a lot of bad press against him with caricatures and jokes that will vex many. The President is writing a book (secret) that express the depth of his wishes and fears, his hopes and wishes for his country and the world at large, knowing *subconsciously he is a serious target for assassination. One of his children will make difficult news and the first Lady will get sick (or contract a disease) and will be forced to rest (June/December 2010/2011)

Parts of the world (even a US city) will suffer seriously due to food shortage/medications as mother earth restructures her entrails right under it. Helping the victims will become a serious challenge due to the total destruction of the local infrastructure. Let’s hope this “vision” is far from materializing as I also see danger with wild animals running free. Expect the worse during the Full and New Moon of June/December 2011 as Jupiter and Mercury will make hard aspects to other destructive planets. England is a Capricorn country and will undergo the same changes where many of the members of Royal family will experience dramatic experiences. The Royal family may also suffer a death by malady or accident. UK residents will find themselves jobless bringing more stress to the government and its political decisions. This impact will resonate in Australia, India and other countries who have a strong connection with the UK.

Update November 21st, 2010 – In Birmingham, a UK city hit hard even before the recession and one that displays many of the tensions experienced across Europe, suspicion and hostility toward asylum seekers, especially Muslims, is much in evidence.

The century’s old man made King/Queen status and its entire snobby privilege selected children will see the beginning of a crumble induced by the humanitarian “all equals” energetic pull of the New Age of Aquarius. November 18th 2010 – CNN – Royal engagement reveals less deferential, more meritocratic Britain.

On a more personal note all souls born in June and December or those born with a rising in any of these signs will undergo a full restructure of their lives. The Jupiter/Mercury impact will affect general relationships and partnerships at large. Affairs involving brothers/sisters could become also a source of conflict or worse produce fatalities. Accidents could take place driving or in foreign lands be cautious. use moon power or pay the price like millions of people victims of the Icelandic volcano. My family arrived safe and sound and in time a day before the eruption; it pays to know and use God’ signs. I see the 2011 “Supernova Windows” to be particularly deadly, thus its a little investment with my book or a heavy price to pay.

Remember the last one printed in Moon Power produced the Icelandic volcano grounding millions of people. The WIND carrying the volcanic particles was the “signal” I was waiting for ; to make you aware of the new Dragon , it is already in motion and will plague this world even more in 2011. Where ever this Jupiter/Mercury impact is in your own natal chart, (combined with the new Dragon’s Head and Tail) you can indeed expect very serious positive/negative changes. There are people who would rather ignore God’ signs than to seek help with my services and avoid future catastrophes.

Vote for the ‘politics of hope NOT the politics of fear!

Remember knowledge is power, ignorance is evil and using the Cosmic Code at your advantage is the main reason why God created the stars and the heavens; TO BE USED AS SIGNS! Ask and you shall receive… A smooth operator, a concerned priest, a soft spoken or gentile psychic will perceive your fears and your needs to hear only good things. But doing so may only assure him/her your $ $ $ $ return but you will surely lose in the long run. Remember the truth never intended to please anyone and often the truth hurt! Sugar coating readings are not only futile but dangerous and will live you unprepared, especially if your psychic is depraved of Cosmic Consciousness. When I do a reading I will insist on passing on BOTH the good and bad news, because I will give you also the potential dates for any tragedy (EVIL) that could get to you. Armed with such timed reality will permit you to be much more cautious and even advise those you care to AVOID the tragedy.

Read this… Linda May 6, 2010 at 11:34pm – Subject: Happy Mother’s Day!!!!
Dr. Turi, you are right again…I just lost my beautiful nephew this morning to lung cancer and life sucks right now….the cosmic code waits for “no one”….and as the world turns, so do we….you predicted a “death” in my twelve month reading and I was hoping it wasn’t so….he was so young Dr. Turi.

DT – I am so sorry for your loss Linda and my heart goes to you…Jeff is in a place where we all will meet one day and he is now your guardian angel.
Blessings
DT

But in reality this “death” did not have to happen, yes it did not have to! Had Jeff known his relationship to the divine, his dragon the physical weakness of his karmic UCI, chances are he would have had enough information to BEAT death. I would have counseled him appropriately and told him where EVIL was hidden in his body, mind and spirit and from there guide him in the light, in the right direction before it became too late for him. But that is the problem with people who would rather live in denial and in the dark hoping for a God’s protection they do not know, cannot hear or see. The disease that killed Jeff was inside me too but I beat it off…

I know now the reasons of “attracting” this evil physically and emotionally and corrected myself since then as to keep it away from me for good. A few years ago when Jeff’s body and spirit were much stronger I could have made the difference but Jeff did not know me. Call it fate…But you know me and facing your fears of the future and letting me perform a spiritual MRI, a spiritual cleansing on your UCI *Unique Celestial Identity could make the entire difference between living a happy, healthy successful life or stay into ignorance and may God be with you. When you’ll be ready for me I will be there for you but again be sure that I will let you know when the road could be rocky for you and what to do to avoid it well before this nasty trail comes around the corner.Click here

The current Dragon has been operational since last August 2009 and will not change sign until March 2011 then the Jupiter Mercury impact will take over. Many of 2009 predictions have yet to come to pass.

MONTHS OF CAUTION – June 2011 / December 2011

1.Many foreign Governments will “merge”, as to bring more security and peace to their neighboring countries.

4.Many foreign Governments will “merge”, to gather a better control of its citizens.

5.Many large established Corporations, (Church Inc.), will “merge” to avoid bankruptcy.

15.The Dragon’s Tail, (tough) in Cancer (general security), will bring about internal unrest in France, Italy, Japan, China and the US.

16.The Dragon’s Tail, (negative) in Cancer (general security/USA), will bring about dramatic results to countries suffering unrest and wars.

17.The positive Dragon’s Head in Capricorn, (Government), will force the power itself to fight back internal abuses and avoid collapsing on itself.

18.The positive Dragon’s Head in Capricorn, (Government), will force the Army and the Navy to restructure and grow drastically in power and technology. Serious possibility of restitution of the draft due to foreign power nuclear threats.

19.The Tail of the Dragon in Cancer will bring serious insecurity to the poor, where the same very people will demand drastic decisions to be taken.

20. On a positive side the governmental waste and political abuse will seriously decrease watched by its own internal police.

21. On a positive side wealthy abusive corporations hiding behind and manipulating the law will be forced to participate with the redistribution of wealth.

22. On a positive side America’s image and security will return soon after 2011. Soon after June 2011 the entire legal / educational / religious system will be on the way to implode and restructure itself.

23. Cancer will be conquered following an increase due to electronic exposure.

WHEN THE CAREGIVER TURNS KILLER

September 21st, 2011 | Author: stlou

Hudson, Wisconsin (population 11,913) is a typical Midwestern river town. Snuggled alongside the St. Croix River, the boundary that separates Wisconsin and Minnesota, the historic downtown area spans approximately six blocks, running from the SSG gas station at Second and Coulee Road on the southern edge up to Art Doyle’s Spokes and Pedals, just north of Second and Locust.

Of course, the little town has its share of Dairy Queens, KFCs, and Best Westerns, but there’s also a Dibbo’s Cafe & Bar, an Idaho Chuck’s Santa Fe Grill & Cantina, and the aforesaid Art Doyle’s bike shop. Trendy boutique shops–Abigail Page Antiques, Back to Books, Elan, and many more–enhance Hudson’s walkability and allure.

Like many other small towns in the Midwest, Hudson is almost entirely white–Caucasians make up 98 percent of the population; well educated–95 percent have at least a high school education; and safe—on a scale of one to 10, with one being the lowest, Hudson’s violent crime rate is two. Indeed, during the past eight years, the city has recorded only seven murders.

Hudson is where Claire and Betty Erickson went to high school, married, raised their four children, and prospered over the years. Claire was the founder of the Erickson Oil/Freedom convenience store chain. His 800 employees work in stations sprinkled around small towns from Wisconsin to South Dakota.

Perched on a bluff overlooking the sparkling St. Croix, 1003 Crest View Drive in Hudson is where Claire and Betty lived for 51 years and where they raised their four children. 1003 Crest View Drive also is where Claire spent nearly a thousand days and nights caring tenderly for Betty, gradually descending into the misty gloom of Alzheimer’s, and where, sometime during the night of March 24th, Claire shot Betty to death and turned the gun on himself.

Although their children and grandchildren were aware that they had become less active in recent months, the Ericksons celebrated their 60th anniversary with them in Florida on March 18th. During one of their talks, Claire told his son, David, that he’d been experiencing vertigo for several weeks, and that he was “tired” and “weary.” What worried David was something else Claire told him: “You know, if anything ever happens to me, your mother will have to go into a home, because she cannot take care of herself.”

David, concerned, convinced Claire to let him drive them back to Wisconsin. They started out early on the 24th, and arrived in Hudson mid-evening. The following morning, at about 10:30, their daughter and her husband found Claire and Betty lying in bed, dressed in their pajamas, looking “peaceful.”

“I have no doubt what he did was out of love for the three of us siblings,” said David Erickson. “I think he was just tired and knew her situation wasn’t going to get any better.”

Experts disagree. Doctor Donna Cohen, a professor in the Department of Aging and Mental Health Disparities at the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute, established the Aging Studies program at the University of South Florida. Noting that caregiving is “almost impossible,” Cohen believes that caregiver stress increases the risk of homicide/suicide. “Murder-suicide,” she argues, “Almost always is not an act of love. It’s an act of desperation.” Although some equate murder-suicide with assisted suicide, Cohen disagrees. “It usually is not the same. This is suicide and murder.”

]]>

Claire Erickson’s actions resembled a blueprint that is common in murder-suicides among the elderly. As Dr. Cohen observes, “Some older men try so hard to hold their heads high, to not ask for help with the stress of caregiving, They cope as best they can with a depression they feel but can’t acknowledge.”

According to researchers, although each murder-suicide involving older people is unique, there are certain common elements. A recent study by the Violence Policy Center (http://www.vpc.org/studies/amroul2008.pdf) found that the percentage of murder-suicides involving a firearm is approximately 90 percent; those in which the killers were male, 95 percent; and those involving intimate partners that also occurred in the home, approximately 75 percent each.

To summarize, the components of a murder-suicide are the following:

§ The murderer is male;

§ He uses a gun to commit the crime;

§ He and his victim are intimate partners, often a husband and his wife; and

§ He commits his crime at home.

The VPC study determined that “unique factors may drive murder-suicide among the elderly,” observing that older people rarely commmit suicide, and do so primarily when the declining health of the victim, the murderer, or both is present.

The study cited a Kansas murder-suicide case that is eerily similar to the Ericksons’. The 89-year old husband shot his 88-year old wife while she was lying in their bed; he was found lying next to her with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Neighbors told police that the wife had recently been hospitalized and was very ill.

After analyzing the facts and circumstances of hundreds of these cases, researchers have concluded that there is a pattern that is typical in virtually all murder-suicide cases involving the elderly:

§ The man kills the woman in their bedroom with a gun, something he has planned for weeks and perhaps for months. This means that the act is premeditated, the essential element that the criminal law requires for a conviction of first-degree murder;

§ The woman has Alzheimer’s disease or a related illness. The man, who is the primary caregiver, is depressed, perhaps ill, definitely exhausted and extremely stressed;

§ The woman is rarely a willing or knowing participant, and is usually killed in her sleep; and

§ The man almost always mistakenly believes that his act is a merciful one, that he is putting the woman out of her misery. In fact, however, he is merely bring an end to his own.

Looking back, which we humans can do with perfect vision, perfect clarity, and perfect perception, there may have been multiple opportunities to prevent the horrific Erickson deaths. Experts emphasize the importance of recognizing such omens as a health change in an elderly, long- and happily-married couple. In one study she conducted in Florida, Cohen discovered that fully two-thirds of the men who committed murder-suicide had visited their doctors less than three weeks before the act; none, however, had been treated for depression.

A single 10-minute doctor visit is unlikely to reveal an elderly man’s depression, however. Patrick Arbore, Director of the Center for Elderly Suicide Prevention at the Goldman Institute on Aging, says, “We can’t really pass the buck to the physician here. It’s important for adult children and members of the community to pay attention and to listen–to really listen–to what these older people are saying. Sometimes comments like ‘I’m going to kill myself’ are so provocative that we can’t believe it and let it go by.”

Other factors, such as changes in eating or sleeping, talk about feeling helpless or hopeless, a loss of interest in normal activities–these are signs of depression, according to Dr. Cohen, as is an elderly husband’s remark about the need for [MSOffice1] <a title=Nursing homes at Great Places! rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/843936']);” href=http://www.greatplacesinc.com/features/NursingHomes.aspx>nursing homes</a> care for his wife “should anything happen to me.”

Experts agree that suspicions demand aggressive action. Cohen, for example, urges an adult child to question her father directly: “Have you ever thought about suicide? Have you thought about killing someone else and then killing yourself?” If the answer is yes–or not an unqualified no–the follow-up question should be about his plans. The more detailed they are, the more likely they will occur.

A reasonable concern about the possibility of murder-suicide should cause an immediate intervention–a call to a suicide crisis center or hotline, an intensive search for weapons in the house, and perhaps an ambulance trip to a medical emergency room or a psychiatric center,

What’s the lesson? Cohen says that “The lesson is to be aware, take the signs seriously, start talking and try to get help. You still may fail, but you will never regret trying.”

Rod Woodson

September 21st, 2011 | Author: stlou

Early years

Woodson is the youngest of three siblings, with whom he had close relationships. His father, the late James Woodson, was African-American, and his mother, Linda Jo, is white; they were married providing a stable home for Joe, Jamie and Rod . Woodson attended R. Nelson Snider High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He played defensive back and a variety of offensive skill positions and was all-state his junior and senior seasons. in addition to football, he won both the high and low hurdles state championships in both his junior and senior seasons; and played varsity basketball his junior and senior seasons, making all conference his senior year.

College career

Woodson accepted a full scholarship to play football at Purdue University, in part because of a desire to pursue a degree in electrical engineering. Woodson played primarily as a defensive back and kick returner, but also saw time on offense as a running back and wide receiver. He was named an All-American defensive back in 1985 and 1986, and was a three time All-Big Ten first team selection. In his final collegiate game, Woodson gained over 150 of combined rushing and receiving yards, in addition to making ten tackles and forcing a fumble, leading Purdue to a victory over arch-rival Indiana.

Woodson left Purdue with 13 individual records, notably tying the school record with eleven career interceptions. He currently is ranked in the top ten in career interceptions, solo tackles, total tackles, passes deflected, and kickoff return yardage as a Boilermaker.

In addition to his exploits on the gridiron, Woodson was also an accomplished track and field athlete at Purdue, and twice awarded All-America honors. He currently holds the school records in both the 60 and 110 meter hurdles, events in which he earned five Big Ten championships. In 1984, he qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 100 meter hurdles, but elected to continue his football career in the NFL after graduating from Purdue with a degree in criminal justice.

Woodson was inducted into the Purdue Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame in 2003.

Pro football career

In 1987, Woodson was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 10th overall draft pick. He returned punts and played defensive cornerback for Pittsburgh through the 1996 season.On November 22, 1987 he was listed third on the depth chart in a game against the division rival Cincinnati Bengals played at Cincinnati Riverfront Stadium, Woodson was inserted into the secondary. In the final minute of the second quarter, he recorded his first career interception when he picked off a Boomer Esiason pass.

He was a fan favorite and a banner that hung for years in Three Rivers Stadium stated: “Rod Is God”. A highlight came in 1995 when Woodson became the first player to return from reconstructive knee surgery in the same season. That year he tore his ACL against the Detroit Lions in the first game and returned to play in the Super Bowl XXX between the Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys just 19 weeks later. In that game, he broke up a pass intended for Michael Irvin, hopped up and pointed at his reconstructed knee. In a game against the Houston Oilers, Woodson hit Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon on a cornerback blitz. The hit gave Moon a concussion and forced him to leave the game.

Woodson’s career took a somewhat nomadic turn after free agency from Pittsburgh, after the Rooney family elected not to renew his contract over a pay dispute as well as the salary cap. (The team had a similar dispute with Franco Harris in 1984 and later with Alan Faneca in 2008.) Although he remained to raise his family in Pittsburgh and later made amends with the Rooneys, he hopped between three additional franchises, becoming one of the few modern cornerbacks to successfully make a transition to the safety position, following in the footsteps of Ronnie Lott. Woodson signed with the San Francisco 49ers for the 1997 season, the Baltimore Ravens for the years 1998 to 2001 (where he won Super Bowl XXXV), and the Oakland Raiders for 2002 and 2003 (where he appeared in his third Super Bowl). In the Raiders 2002 Super Bowl season, 37-year old Woodson led the NFL in interceptions (8) for the first time in his career. His last interception came on November 16, 2003 against the Minnesota Vikings Daunte Culpepper.

NFL records and accomplishments

Woodson is among the NFL’s all time leaders in games played as a defensive back and interceptions. In his 17 NFL seasons, Woodson recorded 71 interceptions, 1,483 interception return yards, 32 fumble recoveries (15 offensive and 17 defensive), 137 fumble return yards, 4,894 kickoff return yards, 2,362 punt return yards, and 17 touchdowns (12 interception returns, 1 fumble return, 2 kickoff returns, 2 punt returns). He holds the league record for interceptions returned for touchdowns with 12, and is tied with 11 other players for the record for most fumble recoveries in a single game (3). His 1,483 interception return yards are also an NFL record. His 32 fumble recoveries are a record amongst defensive players. His 71 interceptions rank 3rd all time.

Woodson was named to the Pro Bowl eleven times, a record for a defensive back. He was also the first player to earn trips to the Pro Bowl at cornerback, safety and kick returner. He was named 1993’s NFL Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press. He was also a 7 time All-Pro selection. Woodson finished second to Darrell Green in the 1988 NFL Fastest Man Contest.

In 1994, he was named to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary Team. What made it notable was that Woodson was one of only five active players to be named to the team. The others were Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Reggie White and Ronnie Lott. In 1999, he was ranked number 87 on The Sporting News’ list of the 100 Greatest Football Players. The College Football News has also honored him as one of the 100 greatest players of the 20th century.

In 2007, he was ranked number 22 on USA Today list of the 25 best NFL players of the past 25 years.

It is unlikely that the Steelers will remove Woodson’s number 26 from circulation, however, since the number is currently being worn by longtime cornerback Deshea Townsend, who as of the 2008 season has now played longer with the Steelers than Woodson did. (The team drafted Townsend in 1998 around the same time that Woodson signed with the archrival Ravens, and still had an acrimonious relationship with the Rooneys at the time.) Mel Blount’s number 47 has also conspicuously remained in circulation since his retirement after the 1983 season.

On January 31, 2009, Woodson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility becoming the 18th Steelers-related person to be enshrined. Woodson named his good friend and business associate Tracy Foster as his presenter. Foster went to Indiana to play basketball for Bob Knight. Foster runs Woodson car dealership in Pittsburgh.

Retirement

Woodson was released by the Oakland Raiders on July 27, 2004 after failing his team physical. His replacement at free safety for the Raiders was Stuart Schweigert, who coincidentally, broke Woodson’s career interception record at Purdue.

He now helps coach the defense at Valley Christian Senior High in Dublin, California along with former Raider John Parrella. Woodson lives in Pleasanton, California with his wife Nickie and their five children . His son, Demitrius, plays safety and wide receiver there as well as kick returner.

Since 1994, Woodson has operated an annual youth football camp, the Woodson/Fabini Football Camp, on the grounds of his former high school. He is also a partner in Woodson Motorsports, a BMW motorcycle dealership and repair shop in Fort Wayne.

The uniqueness of this vacation lies in the ability to set sail to a new island destination each day, each with its own unique character and charm.

While Sailing in the Virgin Islands, charter guests may opt to: snorkel the Caves at Norman Island, the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” – visit a world-class resort on Peter Island or take in breath-taking views from its many hiking trails – dive or snorkel above the RMS Rhone, just off Salt Island, one of the most spectacular wreck dives in the Caribbean and the setting for the movie “The Deep” watch a remarkable Cooper Island sunset from the deck of your yacht explore “the Bath’s” on Virgin Gorda – huge granite boulders set amongst crystal-clear blue waters and powder white beaches – a must see for any Virgin Island visitor – take an exhilarating sail out to Anegada and walk its endless beaches – and finally, guests may enjoy a toast to the vacation of a lifetime at “Foxy’s Tamarind Bar” the world-famous beach bar on Jost Van Dyke!

]]>

Sailing in the Virgin Islands aboard a Yacht Charter is not only surprisingly affordable, but it also serves as an ideal vacation destination for a wide variety of groups. A Yacht Charter in the Virgin Islands is generally referred to as an “all inclusive” vacation where food, beverage, standard bar, the yacht, the professional crew, and onboard water toys are included in the rate. In addition, whether your Yacht Charter group consists of several friends, a group of couples, or a family grouping, Sailing in the Virgin Islands offers something for everyone. After all, the Virgin Islands are touted as the sailing capital of the Caribbean due to the constant trade winds and the close proximity of the islands to one another.

Sailing in the Virgin Islands aboard a Yacht Charter provides an exciting and unique experience for those that choose to discover it. Visitors may choose from a wide variety of featured yachts, including monohulls (traditional sailboats), catamarans and power yachts.

Private onboard Chefs take great pride in tailoring a gourmet menu based upon each group’s specific preferences and dietary requirements. Professional Charter Captain’s are happy to teach the basics of sailing, let guests take the helm, and share their stories of the high seas. In addition, guests on a Yacht Charter can choose to be as active or laid-back as they like. An abundance of activities await guests, typically including sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, waterskiing, shopping, beachcombing, and perhaps diving. You’ll never run out of things to do while Sailing in the Virgin Islands. However, guests may choose to sit back, relax, take in the splendid view at each new destination, and leave the responsibilities to their professional Captain and crew.

The best time to sail in the Virgin Islands on a Yacht Charter is from early November through late June as this is the typical charter season for most yachts. Many yachts also charter in the months of July and October as these months fall outside of peak hurricane season in the tropics. It should be noted that the most popular yachts fill their charter calendars well in advance so it is recommended that a Yacht Charter vacation is booked at least 6 months in advance.

3. Obi (Prof) Chike Onwuachi, former Head of Nigerian Institute of International Affairs

The moderator, Emeka Esogbue after recognizing the presence of participants enjoined everyone to courageously speak his/her mind without fear of intimidation on how the Ibusa community could take her place among the comity of developed towns in the nation. Shortly after, Florence Bob-Okonkwo (Miss) the Mayor of Ibusa Association read out the citation of the Association in which the problems of Ibusa were noted as forming the aims and objectives of the Association.

The Discussion Forum flagged-off with an informative and entertaining opening remark given by Prof. Amatokwu. In his remarks, he expressed his delight for the invitation extended to him by the Ibusa Association, while acknowledging that the Discussion was a timely one. He further noted that Ibusa has always been in the limelight socio-culturally, and recounted how Ibusa recorded history in Ekumeku and Cassava wars. He described the military courage of Ibusa in the words of a British Anthropology who described how Ibusa utilized trenches to prosecute wars. He recollected the history of healthy competition between Ibusa, Asaba, Okpanam and Ogwashi-Uku in which Ibusa triumphed with the Nigerian number of military officers that prosecuted the Nigerian Biafran War, and the greatest number of professors from the town. According to him, Ibusa has emerged as the fountain head of Delta state.

On the culture of dressing in Otogwu attire which is fast dying out in Ibusa, Florence Bob-Okonkwo spoke on the need to make dressing in the attire to some traditional occasions compulsory. Professor Fidelis Amatokwu would further suggest that getting designers to be versatile in the art of Otogwu fabrics and moving it into the youth market in form of jeans, scarf, skirts, , and generally as a beauty apparel will ensure that people buy them. To him, the Yoruba scholars popularized the Asho-oke attire, and Ibusa scholars can also do the same, if Otogwu is to remain with the Ibusa society.

First to speak on Community Development Consciousness was Mr. Alex Okonma who strongly called for the dissemination of information which he believed would very much enhance the spirit of community development consciousness which, he agreed the average Ibusa man is lacking. Empowering the youths to think along this line was recommended by him. Mr. Peter Egbuchua towed along this line but remarkably lamented the fact that Ibusa is one community with the highest number of professors and scholars, yet this community has no single tertiary institution of its own, located in the town. He blamed the ugly scenario on the Ibusa people who have never given thought to this, and advised that something in this avenue be done to give the community a tertiary institution.

That Ibusa people retire and do not want to come back home to be part of the system, he further argued to be one area which continues to negatively affect the town in terms of development because Ibusa people allow others to rule over them. His recommendation is that Ibusa people should part of the government, which is the only way development of the town can be guaranteed. Prof. Amatokwu would further add to this by saying that Ibusa people are not socially responsible to their youths, and that Ibusa youths are entitled to engaging in protests. Employment ratio of Oshimili North he advocated should be raised to accommodate Ibusa people who are also entitled to employment in government establishments. This is the only avenue through which marginalization of the people of Ibusa will be brought to an end, he noted

Reciting the recent incident of delinquency which nearly engulfed the 2008 Ibusa Football tournament in violence, resulting to the loss of the goal post nets by unknown youths of the town, the moderator, Emeka Esogbue called on Mr. Emmanuel Kwasa Amatokwu to speak on the issue of violence which is fast taking a shine off Ibusa as a town. Mr. Amatokwu who took to the floor frowned on what he described as over dependence on English language to the detriment of Ibusa dialect. To him, the ongoing Discussion Forum should have at least been identified with the Ibusa language. He commented that, that some of Ibusa youths cannot adequately express themselves in Ibusa dialect, is itself a problem.

He was quick to point out that Ibusa has a problem as a town, and that our fathers have failed us, but that absolute amendments are necessary to correct this, which is quite the reason there is an ongoing meeting in Lagos between the V10 headed by Mr. Ike Nwabuoku, with himself (Amatokwu) being the Community Relations between Lagos and Ibusa. This arrangement he hoped would correct a lot of mistakes made by our elders. He called for the empowerment of “Egbeni” (Local Vigilante Group) by paying them monthly salaries.

He condemned the attitudes of the youths who have become quite violent roving the town with aggers. He lamented that if these youths are to be the leaders of tomorrow, then Ibusa needs to have a re-think on re-orientating them for the betterment of the future of the whole town. Mention was made of how the payment of the hall where the “Ife Ibusa nasom” event which took place in Lagos was financed by only two individuals as an attempt to project the good image of Ibusa sports to the whole world. He suggested the need for Ibusa to rise up as a town and embrace development, and achieving this, networking is necessary.

It was the turn of Mr. Ike Nwaokoloba to speak, and he started on quite a good note calling for the projection and encouragement of Ibusa language among the people of the town. He also spoke on the need for peace in Ibusa, which he said must start in every Ibusa home because Ibusa must be protected. He spoke in favour of capable Ibusa businessmen and women raising funds to sponsor their own children. The youths he said, must agitate to achieve results, move and meet with the elders for the development of the town. He concluded that Ibusa needs peace because it is achievable, and prosperity will follow. To him identifying with Diokpa or Obuzor camp will yield nothing.

Mr. Henry Chiedu Halim spoke on the need for strengthening our culture, arguing that the problem the town is facing at the moment radiates from our homes. The issue of “miracle centers” will not help our education to grow. Parents are aware of the existence of secret cults which their children are belonging but they do nothing to discourage them. Many of our parents also encourage their children to acquire wealth fraudulently. He compared the situation of Ibusa with building a large mansion on a weak foundation which is bound to collapse. His advice is that parents guide their children to become useful to the Ibusa society in particular and the nation at large.

Several other Discussants also aired their views on the Ibusa situation but one strong point held by everyone is that the Ibusa society is suffering, and this can be corrected if only we approach it with genuine seriousness, concern and sincerity. The commitment of everyone is necessary if this is to be achieved; after all, no one is too small to contribute towards this.

Many of those visited by the officials of Ibusa Like-minds Association also spoke in the same vein. Obi (Professor) Chike Onwuachi, believes that the elders of Ibusa have failed the town, and it would be difficult for the youths of the town to rectify this, therefore it forms the responsibility of the elders of the town in association with the youths to solve this problem and not pass it to the future generation. He expresses further belief that the instrument of radicalism and gradualism will bring about the much cherished peace and unity to the town. He warmly welcomed the members of Ibusa Like-minds Association and commended them for their efforts in seeking peace and unity for Ibusa. He expressed the view that only truth, love and compassion will save Ibusa from the present crisis.

Mr. Austin Abuah on his part called for the strengthening of Ibusa culture, lamenting the inability of today’s Ibusa youth to effectively communicate in Ibusa dialect, and the situation whereby our youths are seen hanging the Otogwu attire on their shoulders during funerals, with elders not rebuking them. He also thanked the members of Ibusa Like-minds Association that paid him a visit and said he was delighted on the topic of “Socio-cultural Development of Ibusa” which he said was what Ibusa needed. He said that Ibusa has seen some elements of development if we consider the achievements of our illustrious sons and daughters who are achievers in their various endeavours of life. He promised to grace the next program of Ibusa Like-minds Association as long as it will have to do with the development of the town.
