Woman Brainwashed while treating Eating Disorder

Posted | Views: 15,367

 

 

Brooke Taylor, of St Louis, Missouri, spent three months as an in-patient at Castlewood Treatment Centre to treat an eating disorder in 2010. She claims she was brainwashed there. She said: 'I like to use the word "bully" when I refer to individuals that work there. They make you believe that they have all the answers.'A lot of demons were put in my head.'

 

Ms Taylor is the third woman to sue Castlewood.Lisa Nasseff and Leslie Thompson, both from Minnesota, took separate legal action against the centre and psychologist Mark Schwartz, claiming they had false memories planted during sessions to treat eating disorders.


Ms Taylor claims Castlewood staff hypnotised her and that she was over-medicated.


A previous lawsuit filed by another inpatient claimed Castlewood psychologist Mark Schwartz  brainwashed her into believing she was a member of a satanic cult.

 

According to her lawsuit, staff caused her 'to become increasingly isolated from her family by leading her to believe that a family member had been and would continue to sexually abuse her and force her to engage in horrific acts of abuse'. A spokesman for Castlewood told STLToday.com that the lawsuit claims are 'spurious'.


A statement said: 'This lawsuit simply piggybacks on publicity generated by earlier false and outrageous allegations. We will defend this case vigorously, confident that the facts will underscore Castlewood's professionalism and excellence in patient care.'


Ms Nasseff's lawsuit, filed last year, claimed her psychologist Mark Schwartz brainwashed her into believing she was a member of a satanic cult.She sued Schwartz and Castlewood for $1million for implanting false memories in her mind under hypnosis.


Ms Nasseff allegedly believed she had multiple personalities and had participated in satanic acts, including the ritualistic eating of babies.

She spent 15 months at the centre, starting in 2007 where she received treatment for anorexia, according to the complaint.


MESSED UP!!

Psychologists brainwashed a woman into believing she had been sexually abused and had multiple personalities, according to a lawsuit.

Brooke Taylor, of St Louis, Missouri, spent three months as an in-patient at Castlewood Treatment Centre to treat an eating disorder in 2010.

She claims staff there falsely led her to believe she was apart of a Satanic cult and had been the victim of sexual abuse as a child.

Real-life Goonies Search for Captain Morgans Lost Fleet

Posted | Views: 15,722

- For the third year in a row, with the help of the Captain Morgan brand, a team of leading U.S. archaeologists returned to the mouth of the Chagres River in Panama in search of real-life buccaneer Captain Henry Morgan's lost fleet.

 

"Morgan was one of the most infamous privateers of all time, so for me, this is a chance to use archaeological research to bridge the gap between science and pop culture. Most people associate Captain Morgan with spiced rum, but he was also an iconic historical figure who accomplished incredible feats throughout the Caribbean," said Frederick "Fritz" H. Hanselmann, underwater archaeologist and Research Faculty with the River Systems Institute and the Center for Archaeological Studies at Texas State University who has been leading the team in an effort to locate, excavate and preserve the remains of Morgan's lost ships.

 

"Locating his lost ships and being able to properly preserve and share them with the public is our ultimate goal with this project. We're really close – and at the end of the day, his ships are down there and we're going to find them."

 

The search began in September 2010, when the team discovered six iron cannons belonging to Morgan off the coast of Panama, and continued last summer with the discovery of a 17th century wooden shipwreck, potentially one of the five ships Morgan lost – which included his flagship "Satisfaction" – in 1671 on the shallow Lajas Reef.

 

This summer, the team returned to Panama to excavate historic artifacts from the shipwreck in hopes of confirming its origin. Throughout the field season, the team recovered a sword, chests, wooden barrels and multiple cargo seals. The artifacts, which are currently housed at Patronato Panama Viejo (Old Panama Trust) in Panama City, will undergo the preservation process before being studied further and verified by London-based experts in English artillery.

 

"For us, there's no better way to communicate the values and unwavering spirit of our brand than by unearthing the real-life history of its inspiration," said Tom Herbst, Brand Director, Captain Morgan USA. "This adventure that we've embarked on truly embodies the character of Morgan himself and the free-spirited nature of rum. In our case, we don't have to make up a brand story – ours is real and it's waiting to be discovered at the bottom of the ocean floor." ---- keep reading this story

In the search of 

CAPTAIN MORGAN'S 

LOST FLEET 

It's true, it's true. Captain Morgan was a real seaman that ran shit in the Caribbean. Now, a group of archaeologists wanna play Goonies and find his lost ships.

"Most of my major disappointments have turned out to be blessings in disguise. So whenever anything bad does happen to me, I kind of sit back and feel, well, if I give this enough time, it'll turn out that it was good, so I shant worry about it too much."

CONNECTION

Okay.... Here's the thing about connection. Everything needs a beginning and an ending. Combined with a full time occupation of attempting to find the right puzzle pieces on your way. You know finding all the missing piece to CONNECT with. By pieces I mean the right career FIT, perfect FIT for a spouse, nurturing our childern to FIT in, and connecting with friends and family along the way.

 

 I have moved over 17 times and have become a master at being open to connect. As a child I have too many memories of playing out the scene from "The Color Purple".  You know, there I am, in the the backseat waving and tears rolling down sing and patty-cake hand motions of "... You and Me Us NEVA-PART..." Of course that is a bit of an exaggeration (smile) but you get the picture. I shared that scenario to say that I have always been able to CONNECT with people since a child. I had to relive being the NEW KID more than my fair share.  But it's not easy for everyone to connect with people. So some folks tend to stay in the same circle of friends or only deal with neighbors and family for security. Which is cool if you never plan on leaving that 50 mile radius. I'm just saying.  That is so not me. My free spirit can't comprehend that confinement. So I fly free. Connection is not something that "BOOM" just happens, it's a feeling. (kinda like Sexy... either you are or you are NOT no "Bringing it back" sorry JT) It's more like a super power emotion and you have to be willing to let your guard down to survive to save the world.

 

The most important thing is having the ability and desire to CONNECT with others. But you have to be open to sharing yourself to do so.  You have to be willing to let someone know who you are inside your heart, mind and soul.  I left Body out on purpose. We tend to give that away selfishly reguardless of FIT or Connection {wink}. Being attractive, funny or having a great personality can make you popular, this is true. But life is so short to live it just to say you KNOW a lot of people.  True CONNECTION lies with those paths you have crosss that can say they KNOW (the real) YOU.

 

 

 

 

Open your heart and connect with the important people in your life. They are there for a reason. 

Life is All for you.

As Janet says....

"if you really want it... if you say you need it.... if you gotta have it! Go ahead and get you some!"

 

Your life is waiting for you to live it. don't be afraid to open your Heart, Spirit and Soul and Love ..

 It's All For You!

xoxo

GROUNDED

ARE YOU?

 

OR are you? Used to be a time when being grounded meant being in trouble and forced to relinquish your privileges. Actually today I am grounding myself permanently. Time out...

is not enough anymore.

 

 

 I was ok with telling myself that I will take some "Time Out" and get this or that done. Or I would fly around the house and plan to take "TIME OUT" to clean or organize. Even in the work place you know exactly what you have to do to be successful and it only works if you sit down and get "Grounded" But we tend to get grounded at work because you have to make money and needless to say you don't want to get fired. I think at times you may need to light a fire within your self. You have to get grounded from with in because getting fired from LIFE is not an option.

 

Side Note: That means being IN the GROUND ...a entirely different ceremony completely. Everyone wears black and there's a lot of crying. SO lets NOT go there.

 

All it takes is a little dedication and a lot of patience. Being grounded for adults means being forced to relinquish wants for needs. You really have to have desire and drive to ensure that your life is making you happy. No one else can do this for you. So at some point today for lack of better words and to hopefully make an impact ...

 

 "GET SOME WHERE AND SIT YOUR ASS DOWN!"

 

Time to get grounded from with in and start planning for happiness and STOP flying around missing all the little things you

 never made "TIME OUT" for. From friends family house and with in. Live your life being Grounded from with in. See how much you will grow.

Real straight talk

 

Do you ever rack your brain trying to figure why NO ONE understands you? Do you walk away or hang up the phone feeling that you were perfectly clear in your communication. You are feeling all proud and sure of yourself then BOOM... 3 minutes later that the person you were  just having a conversation calls you right back and guess what? They had not a clue of what you meant and then you have to re(re)Explain. This used to happen to me all of the time. I used always ask "Really? I KNOW you didn't get THAT from what I just said?" complete disconnect. "I'd scrunch my fore-head and roll my eyes, thinking... "Clearly I must be speaking a foreign language to you.." 

Miscommunication like that would often ruin my day.

 

 

 Truth is when dealing with people who say they "keep it real" often just means that they don't have a sensor. Where the kind hearted folks often tend to be sugar coaters. You know... filtering the blow with extra sweet words and thoughtfulness. Now which ever way you are is fine. I just think that in terms of being better at  communicating with ALL types of personalities it's best to understand the type of person you are dealing with.

.

 

 

REAL FOLKS

Just because you "keep it REAL" you do NOT get  free pass to be an ASS

(& that's real) 

 

 

 

if you can dish it out... then suck it up when someone gives it back.

(real folks are extra sensative)



real sweet folks

Just because you have others Best intrest at heart..Does NOT mean they give a DAMN about yours.

(mix your sweet with a shot of sour)

 

 

You will be disappointed  every time if you still beleive in "treat people the way you want

to be treated"

(real sweet folks live in LA-LA Land)

~

I would tell you what side I fall under but I'm sure you can guess that. Communication is the key to everyday life. Learning to be a better communicator does not mean that you are NOT "keeping it REAL" and have any potential of loosing any Cool Points (throwback). And to my fellow Real Sweet Folks it's ok to act a fool every now and then. Plus it will shock

the shit out of everyone!

excuse me... while I SHINE

 I woke up and told myself that today I will SHINE. Have you ever put any thought into  how bright you SHINE? It totally depends on the day for me sometimes.  We all have those mornings when the covers are unbelievably cozy and it is infuriating to have to pull them off. (if you just had a twinge thinking about it your KNOW exactly what I mean) It kinda reminds me of when people used to say "did you wake up on the WRONG side of the bed?" (never really understood that lol) But anyhoo...today I have decided to SHINE. Now just so you know on the inside my emotions are at a medium-low simmer and PMS is setting so I could choose to lay on the couch and cry over the winner on HGTV's Design Star. BUT!! Not today!! There is too much work to be done.

 

I love this song by Estelle. "I'ma shine! I'ma shine! I'ma shine while my lights on!" So please press play and turn it up. Every day we have woe's and stress but you have to choose to get up on the RIGHT side of the bed and face the world. Regardless of what's going on in your life today you have to shine! So put your mind to it and over come every obstacle that comes your way and plan for success, that's the only way to shine!

SHUT UP & listen...

WORDS

Question is will your heart be full of  POSITIVE WORDS that will bring guidance and love?
 or will you realize that the WORDS coming from your heart have been full of NEGATIVITY that are mean and hurtful? Taking time to re-evaluate yourself & you may be surprised how much NEGATIVITY resides in your heart. My Vow of silence helped me to realize that I speak Positive WORDS that are consistently playing a tennis match with people who's hearts are serving up Negative WORDS. It can be exhausting playing this game and I realized that I didn't want to play anymore.  HUGE BREAK-THRU!! I hope that you find just as much success in this Challenge.
(You may not be able to vow 24 hours but it will do wonders if you are dedicated)
 
 Words of every kind come directly from your heart. Can you actually say you speak from your heart? Truth is we all do. The way you feel emotionally is expressed verbally. At times we may not think before the words start flying, and that's when confusion begins. But you have to care enough to change. It's time to understand where your heart is pulling the words from. Once you communicate with yourself you can connect with your heart. For example...Have you ever taken a vow of silence? I mean NO talking!! No Facebook/Twitter updates, No texting. NOT even conversations with yourself. No WORDS. It is the hardest thing to do. But it allows you to learn to listen. The thoughts in your head that usually are running a mile a minute are forced to slow down. You will be amazed in the clarity it can bring. Today's challenge is to STOP and Listen to the WORDS your heart speaks to your from inside for 24 hours. Make notes. Make list. Do what ever you need to do but FOCUS on your WORDS so you can speak from your heart.

Woman Addicted to Pizza

Posted | Views: 19,950

First, there was the 17-year-old British girl who ate only chicken nuggets. And now, a 33-year-old British woman says she’s spent a lifetime eating only pizza.

 

Claire Simmons, 33, of Notting Hill London told The Sun that she has eaten only cheese pizza at every meal for 31 years. Simmons told the newspaper that she exercises and drinks water, but doctors warn her that her pizza addiction could kill her because of a lack of health vitamins and minerals.

 

Chronic food addiction, medically known as selective eating disorder, is nothing new for the British tabloids or for Americans. BBC airs a reality series about picky eating habits called Freaky Eaters, and TLC network has begun showing an American version of the show.

Casting: Tom Hardy as Bane

Posted | Views: 26,532

Story behind why Tom Hardy was cast as 

BANE 

Tom Hardy seemed like a strange choice to some of us when we heard he was to play the masked villain Bane. Sure, he had just completed work on Inception with Christopher Nolan so the two had become good friends based on that, but what else could it be? Prior toThe Dark Knight Rises and Inception, Hardy wasn't known very well outside of  film fanatic circles. The one thing that he was really known for was a little film called Bronson.
 
In Bronson, Hardy played notorious British criminal Michael Gordon Peterson (nicknamed Charles Bronson by his promoter) who was well known as being “Britain's Most Violent Inmate.” During the course of pre-production for the film, Hardy put on 42 pounds of muscle for the role, and it shows when you see the cover. Aren't those the most terrifying arm muscles you've ever seen? Seriously, he looks like Donkey Kong. Within the film, we see just how bonkers and savage Hardy can be as the character, he's a total nutter.
 
When Hardy was cast as Bane he only assumed that it was because of his muscled up performance inBronson. He thought that Nolan had seen the film and was so impressed with both his acting skills and physical demeanor that he had to have him as Bane in the new Batman film. When he asked Chris this, he was shocked to find out that Nolan had never seen Bronson and originally cast him as Bane because of his work in Guy Richie's film RocknRolla.

Passport Photo

My passport is through.


I look like im from poland on the photo. I didnt even know you could look polish until my passport came through. I have a shaved head and look like a criminal.


That isnt racist by the way. Im not saying all polish people look like criminals, not at all. You can look like two things at the same time you know. Its the same as when you can look, say,  chinese, and at the same time look like a businessman.

 

So I look polish, AND look like a criminal. The good news is, I should get a free council house, free health care and all my bills paid for me. (that might be racist, Im not entirely sure. I wrote that joke for the Daily Mail, but even they found it "risque". Im going to send it back to them with the word "muslim" replacing polish. They'll soon send a check out.)


Speaking of checks, I'll soon be living among them in the Czech Republic (genius...)


Im going through a long application process with a top English School  at the moment. Tomorrow Ive got to record myself giving an English lesson about all the different animals there are, to some imaginary 10 year olds, while sat in my front room.


As you do.
