Cohen Fails To Reach Heights
"...What bunkum. Kwan should compete as long as she wants. It isn't her fault nobody can beat her. In 42 Olympic-style events since 1995, Kwan has lost to only three U.S. skaters_Tara Lipinski (four times); Sarah Hughes (twice); and Cohen (once, 2004 worlds). Only Lipinski (1997) has beaten Kwan at the last nine U.S. Championships..." Read More

A good friend of mine, J.T is a football player for a high school near me. Last Friday during the football game, J.T. got run into by another player and fracture his spine, paralyzing him from the neck down. He has to be fed through IV's basically, he's on a resperator, and the only thing he can move is his eyes. He can hear and understand what's going on around him though. There is a law in Florida that says a person can only be on life support for so long before they have to take them off, and unless they can somehow breathe on their own, they will die. J.T. has a pager with him, and every time the pager's number is called, the pager goes off, letting J.T. know that someone is praying for him. If you could take a minute or two and call the number, it would really mean a lot to J.T and his family. Thanks!!
J.T.'s Prayer Line: (904) 840 4673 then dial 4673 #
Article Mention
"But Meissner wouldn't be the first American whiz kid on ice. Tara Lipinski won Olympic gold in 1998 at the age of 15. Sarah Hughes was 16 when she topped the podium in 2002, and Kwan won her first of eight national titles at 15.
"It doesn't bother me when people call me 'the next,'" said Meissner. "It's flattering, but at the same time I don't want to be too much like them. I don't say I'm going to be like Tara Lipinski. I want to be the next Kimmie Meissner."
Still, it's interesting to look at Lipinski's rise: second place in the 1994 national novice competition, second in the 1995 national junior event and first place in the 1997 national and world championships.
But minimum-age rules have become tighter since Lipinski's days. Skaters must be 15 to compete in the worlds, which makes tomorrow's international competition against senior skaters an even more important seasoning tool." Read More

Superman Dies Being Superman - R.I.P Christopher Reeve
Christopher Reeve, the star of the 'Superman' movies whose near-fatal riding accident nine years ago turned him into a worldwide advocate for spinal cord research, died Sunday of heart failure, his publicist said. He was 52. Reeve fell into a coma Saturday after going into cardiac arrest while at his New York home, his publicist, Wesley Combs, told The Associated Press by phone from Washington, D.C., on Sunday night. Reeve was being treated at Northern Westchester Hospital for a pressure wound that he developed, a common complication for people living with paralysis. In the past week, the wound had become severely infected, resulting in a serious systemic infection. Source: CNN
This is so sad. I am putting this up because this man inspired millions of people to hang in there, live a bit longer. He did so much for humanity while barely being able to move a single part of his body. That's a true hero right there.

Picture Usage
I was surfing around online yesterday and found a lot of websites that had used pictures from my site here and there. I spend an insane amount of money every month to get access to and post exclusive pictures online. I usually don't mind sharing pictures, if someone asks me firsts and gives me credit. If people are going to just take what I spend a lot of time and money on getting without crediting me what so ever, I will shut the photo gallery down. I don't want to do this, but it's not worth wasting hundreds of dollars for pictures people are just going to take in a day and claim as their own (which is what they are doing if they don't give credit). If you are using any pictures (even if it's just in a graphic) from my site, please credit TaraRulz.com (and ask next time). That's all I ask!
