Tip for building confidence

Kingston — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:46:59 GMT

Basic guide to success at life:

Get a haircut - noone likes your lank, greasy shoulder length hair
Get fit. Really fit. Get some muscle tone and definition and lose any trace of fat or skinnyness
Stop spending 8 hours a day on your PC - go get some real life hobby or hobbies (no, not LARPing or warhammer or computer games, normal ones like playing a team sport)
Spend a LOT more time outdoors. This will fix your skin and complexion.
Stop hanging out with other socially retarded people. Get out more.
Do something that scares you every day. Do things outside your comfort zone.
Go travelling round Europe, alone, and do nothing but party. Never do ANYTHING on your own. Dont know anyone? Walk up to someone random at the hostel and start talking. This will build confidence so ****ing fast its unreal.

Before you know it you'll be getting laid left right and centre (well, worked for me)

Why We Must Forgive Ourselves

Why We Must Forgive Ourselves

Healing

Once upon a time there lived a woman who had a bad temper. She screamed at and scolded everyone around her. For most of her life she believed the fiery rage inside her was everyone elses fault. But one morning she woke up and realized she had isolated herself from all the people in her life who she cared about. She had no friends, and even her family wanted nothing to do with her. She knew in that moment that she needed to make a change.

She went to see a well respected Buddhist monk to ask for advice. The monk told her to take a large clay jug from his kitchen, fill it with water, and stand outside on the sidewalk in front of his house. Its hot outside, and thats a busy sidewalk with lots of pedestrians, the monk told her as he pointed out the front window of his house. When a pedestrian passes, you must offer them a glass of water. Do this until there is no rage left inside you.

The woman with the bad temper was confused she didnt understand how this would help her. But she had heard that this monk was known for his unconventional wisdom and avant-garde methods of healing, and she was willing to do anything to heal herself and rebuild her relationship with those she cared about.

The Rage

So she stood outside with a water jug and served water to pedestrians every day for the next several weeks. And every morning she asked herself if rage still pulsed through her veins. And every morning the answer was, yes. So she continued serving water. Until this afternoon when a burly man walked up, snatched the water jug out of her hand, drank directly out of it, and then tossed the jug on the ground as he continued on his way.

The rage within the woman skyrocketed into an irrepressible fit. Unable to contain herself, she picked-up the clay jug off the ground and, with all her might,threw it at the burly man as he walked away. It was a direct hit. The jug shattered into pieces over the back of his head and he fell to the ground, unconscious and bleeding.

As the womans rage subsided, she realized the magnitude of what she had done and began to cry. She used a payphone to call 911 and report the incident. An ambulance and two police cars arrived at the scene moments later. As the EMTs strapped the burly man into a stretcher, the police handcuffed his arms and legs to the stretcher. Then one of the police officers walked over to the woman, who was still crying, and said, The city owes you a big thank you. That man has been on our most wanted list for over a year now. He is a primary suspect in multiple murder cases and violent robberies.

The Moral

The moral of the story is that we simply dont know. We want to believe that if we completely rid ourselves of our inner darkness then we will always make the right choices, and be of service to ourselves and those around us. But life isnt so linear and predicable. Sometimes our darkness inadvertently leads us to do things that impact the world in a positive way, just as our unconditional love sometimes forces us to overlook the criminal standing before us.

I tell you this story not to encourage you to let your anger get the best of you, but rather to provide you with an opening to forgive yourself for your own humanity your own moments of rage and darkness. Because, even in our darkest moments, there is a light that shines within us that has the potential to be of service to ourselves and others in ways we may never fully comprehend.

12 Ways to Get a Second Chance in Life

Joel — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:33:45 GMT

12 Ways to Get a Second Chance in Life

We all need second chances. This isnt a perfect world. Were not perfect people. Im probably on my 1000th second chance right now and Im not ashamed to admit it. Because even though Ive failed a lot, it means Ive tried a lot too.

We rarely get things right the first time. Almost every major accomplishment in a persons life starts with the decision to try again and again to get up after every failed attempt and give it another shot.

The only difference between an opportunity and an obstacle is attitude. Getting a second chance in life is about giving yourself the opportunity to grow beyond your past failures. Its about positively adjusting your attitude toward future possibilities. Heres how:

1. Let go of the past.

Whats done is done. When life throws us nasty curveballs it typically doesnt make any sense to us, and our natural emotional reaction might be to get extremely upset and scream obscenities at the top of our lungs. But how does this help our dilemma? Obviously, it doesnt.

The smartest, and oftentimes hardest, thing we can do in these kinds of situations is to be more tempered in our reactions. To want to scream obscenities, but to wiser and more disciplined than that. To remember that emotional rage only makes matters worse. And to remember that tragedies are rarely as bad as they seem, and even when they are, they give us an opportunity to grow stronger.

Every difficult moment in our lives is accompanied by an opportunity for personal growth and creativity. But in order to attain this growth and creativity, we must first learn to let go of the past. We must recognize that difficulties pass like everything else in life. And once they pass, all were left with are our unique experiences and the lessons required two make a better attempt next time.

2. Identify the lesson.

Everything is a life lesson. Everyone you meet, everything you encounter, etc. Theyre all part of the learning experience we call life.

Never forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things dont go your way. If you dont get a job you wanted or a relationship doesnt work, it only means something better is out there waiting. And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it.

3. Lose the negative attitude.

Negative thinking creates negative results. Positive thinking creates positive results. Period.

Every one of the other suggestions in this article is irrelevant if your mind is stuck in the gutter. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. The mind must believe it can do something before it is capable of actually doing it. For some practical positive thinking guidance I recommend reading The Power of Positive Thinking.

4. Accept accountability for your current situation.

Either you take accountability for your life or someone else will. And when they do, youll become a slave to their ideas and dreams instead of a pioneer of your own.

You are the only one who can directly control the outcome of your life. And no, it wont always be easy. Every person has a stack of obstacles in front of them. You must take accountability for your situation and overcome these obstacles. Choosing not to is giving up.

5. Focus on the things you can change.

Some forces are out of your control. The best thing you can do is do the best with whats in front of you with the resources you do have access to.

Wasting your time, talent and emotional energy on things that are beyond your control is a recipe for frustration, misery and stagnation. Invest your energy in the things you can change.

6. Figure out what you really want.

Youll be running on a hamster wheel forever if you never decide where you want to go. Figure out whats meaningful to you so you can be who you were born to be.

Some of us were born to be musicians to communicate intricate thoughts and rousing feelings with the strings of a guitar. Some of us were born to be poets to touch peoples hearts with exquisite prose. Some of us were born to be entrepreneurs to create growth and opportunity where others saw rubbish. And still, some of us were born to be or do whatever it is, specifically, that moves you.

Dont quit just because you didnt get it right on your first shot. And dont waste your life fulfilling someone elses dreams and desires. You must follow your intuition and make a decision to never give up on who you are capable of becoming.

7. Eliminate the non-essential.

First, identify the essential the things in your life that matter most to you. Then eliminate the fluff. This drastically simplifies things and leaves you with a clean slate a fresh, solid foundation to build upon without needless interferences. This process works with any aspect of your life work projects, relationships, general to-do lists, etc.

Remember, you cant accomplish anything if youre trying to accomplish everything. Concentrate on the essential. Get rid of the rest. The Joy of Less is a great read on this topic.

8. Be very specific.

When you set new goals for yourself, try to be as specific as possible. I want to lose twenty pounds is a goal you can aim to achieve. I want to lose weight is not. Knowing the specific measurements of what you want to achieve is the only way you will ever get to the end result you desire.

Also, be specific with your actions too. I will exercise is not actionable. Its far too vague. I will take a 30 minute jog every weekday at 6PM is something you can actually do something you can build a routine around something you can measure.

9. Concentrate on DOING instead of NOT DOING.

Dont think about eating that chocolate donut! What are you thinking about now? Eating that chocolate donut, right? When you concentrate on not thinking about something, you end up thinking about it.

The same philosophy holds true when it comes to breaking our bad habits. By relentlessly trying not to do something, we end up thinking about it so much that we subconsciously provoke ourselves to cheat to do the exact thing we are trying not to do.

Instead of concentrating on eliminating bad habits, concentrate on creating good habits (that just happen to replace the bad ones). For instance, if youre trying to eliminate snacking on junk food, you might create a new mental habit like this: At 3PM each day, about the time Im usually ready for a snack, I will eat five whole wheat crackers. After a few weeks or months of concentrating on this good habit it will become part of your routine. Youll start doing the right thing without even thinking about it.

10. Create a daily routine.

Its so simple, but creating a daily routine for yourself can change your life. The most productive routines, Ive found, come at the start and end of the day both your workday and your day in general. That means, develop a routine for when you wake up, for when you first start working, for when you finish your work, and for the hour or two before you go to sleep.

Doing so will help you start each day on point, and end each day in a way that prepares you for tomorrow. It will help you focus on the important stuff, instead of the distractions that keep popping up. And most importantly, it will help you make steady progress which is what second chances are all about.

11. Maintain self-control and work on it for real.

The harder you work the luckier you will become. Stop waiting around for things to work out. If you keep doing what youre doing, youll keep getting what youre getting.

While many of us decide at some point during the course of our lives that we want to answer our calling, only an astute few of us actually work on it. By working on it, I mean truly devoting oneself to the end result. The rest of us never act on our decision. Or, at best, we pretend to act on it by putting forth an uninspired, half-assed effort.

If you want a real second chance, youve got to be willing to give it all you got. No slacking off! This means you have to strengthen and maintain your self-control. The best way Ive found to do this is to take one small bite of the elephant at a time. Start with just one activity, and make a plan for how you will deal with troubles when they arise. For instance, if youre trying to lose weight, come up with a list of healthy snacks you can eat when you get the craving for snacks. It will be hard in the beginning, but it will get easier. And thats the whole point. As your strength grows, you can take on bigger challenges.

Remember, life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Achieving your dreams can be a lot of work, even the second time around. Be ready for it. Read Getting Things Done for some practical guidance in this arena.

12. Forget about impressing people.

So many people buy things they dont need with money they dont have to impress people they dont know. Or some variation thereof

Dont be one of these people. Its a waste of time. And its probably one of the reasons you need a second chance in the first place.

Just keep doing what you know is right. And if it doesnt work, adjust your approach and try again. Youll get there eventually.

The 30 Most Satisfying Simple Pleasures Life Has to Offer

Joel — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:27:10 GMT

The 30 Most Satisfying Simple Pleasures Life Has to Offer

Sleeping In on a Rainy Day As the rain beats lightly against the window, you nestle your head deeper into your pillow. The sound is soothing and your bed feels like a sanctuary. There is no place you would rather be.
Finding Money You Didnt Know You Had You reach into your pocket and find a $20 bill from the last time you wore these jeans. You arent rich, but you are richer than you were a second earlier.
Making Brief Eye Contact with Someone of the Opposite Sex You pass her on the street or in the subway. She glances up at you momentarily, making direct eye contact in a way that seems to communicate a subtle curiosity. For a split second it makes you think and then its gone.
Skinny Dipping There is something mysteriously liberating about being naked in a body of water. You are naked, but it feels natural, a sense of unrefined freedom.
Receiving a Real Letter or Package via Snail Mail E-mail has become the primary source of written communication. Most snail mail these days is junk mail. When you check the mail and find a real letter or package from someone you know, excitement overtakes you as you tear into this rare gift.
Making the Yellow Light - Its one of the most common simple pleasures, the act of beating the pack. As you blaze through the yellow light you glance in your rearview to see all the cars behind you stopping at the red light. Yes! You made it!
Telling a Funny or Interesting, True Story - One of the most enticing roles you lead in life is that of the storyteller. You love to share stories, especially those that will captivate your audience with deep curiosity and humor. There are few things more satisfying than telling a true story that others enjoy listening to.
Seeing a Friend Stumble Over Himself As you walk across the street with your friend, he fails to accurately address the curb on the other side. He trips and stumbles around momentarily before regaining his footing, then swiftly attempts to play it off like nothing happened. This can be a hilarious sight if the moment is right.
Hearing the Right Song at the Right Moment - It doesnt matter what the setting is, hearing the right song for that moment is one of those simple pleasures in life that instantly lifts your spirits. You could be driving home from work, hanging out at a bar with friends, or jogging. When the right song rattles your ear drums the entire meaning of life seems crystal clear.
The First Sip of a Beverage When Youre Thirsty You just finished mowing the lawn or taking a long jog. The only thing on your mind is an ice-cold glass of water. When you are really, really thirsty, that first sip of any liquid beverage is sheer bliss.
Catching a Glimpse of Bare Skin on the Opposite Sex For guys, its when the waitress bends over a little too far. For girls its seeing that buff guy in a Speedo. Either way, when you see a bit more skin than you were expecting on the opposite sex, you cant help but to smirk on the inside.
Saying the Same Thing Simultaneously There is a moment of silence. Then all of the sudden you and your friend blurt out the same exact set of words simultaneously. This rare occurrence is something to smile about.
The Pull-Through Parking Spot You pull into a parking spot and are delighted to see the availability of the parking spot immediately in front of you. You pull through to the spot in front so that when you return to the car you can drive forward out of the parking spot. Why? Because driving backwards is a pain in the butt.
Realizing You Have More Time to Sleep Something abruptly awakens you and you think its time to get up. Then you squint over at your alarm clock and realize you still have 2 more hours to sleep. A warm euphoric feeling shoots though your body as you glide gracefully back to your dreams.
People Watching Sitting there on your bench you can see people in every direction. Tall people, small people, thin and plump. Blond, brunette, and redhead alike. Each of them has a different stride and a unique expression. As you drift from body to body you are mesmerized by what you see.
Putting On Clothes Straight from the Dryer As soon as the dryer buzzes, you pull out your clothes and put them on. They feel soothingly warm on your skin and emit a fresh-scented aroma into the air. A sentiment of ease comes over you as you head out to conquer the day.
A Familiar Smell You just pulled into your parents driveway and opened the car door. You havent been home in a long while. You smell familiarity in the air, the scent of a large pine tree in the neighbors yard. As you head through the front door, more familiar smells consume your senses. Gosh, it feels good to be home
The Feeling You Get When Your Idea Works You have been struggling to resolve a complex problem all day and you just cant seem to get it right. Filled with frustration, you decide to exercise one last idea before calling it a night. Youve had many ideas before that failed miserably but this time it works.
Fresh, Clean Bed Sheets You yank at the corner of the bedspread to create just enough space to slide your body under the freshly cleaned sheets. The sheets feel cool to the touch. Everything seems so clean, like nobody has ever slept in this bed before.
A Beautiful View As the car veers around the side of the mountain you gaze out the passenger window. Its a clear, sunny day and you can see the entire valley below filled with wild flowers and bright green vegetation. The scenery reminds you of something you once saw in National Geographic. But here it is live, right before your eyes.
Reminiscing About Old Times with Your Closest Friends Pink Floyd once said the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime. There is no simple pleasure more satisfying than recounting the greatest moments of your life with your closest friends who lived these moments alongside you.
Receiving an Unexpected Compliment Its been an average day. Nothing really great has happened, but nothing terrible occurred either. This monotonous day has put you in a dreary mood. Unexpectedly, an older, attractive lady taps you on the shoulder, calls you handsome and says she loves your shirt. The day just got a whole lot better.
Having a Good Laugh Laughter is the greatest cure of all. Life is extraordinary in the moments when you are laughing so hard you can barely breathe. These moments of deep laughter are divine in the sense that they cleanse your mood and set your mind on a positive track.
The Feeling After a Healthy Workout - Its a giddy feeling of self accomplishment; the one true activity that actually makes you feel better and look better simultaneously. When you walk out the front door of the gym you are on top of the world.
The Celebration in the Instant Something Makes Sense Even now that it has explained to you for the third time, you just dont understand how it works. Everyone else seems to understand but you. Then out of the blue the dots connect in your mind. You finally get it, and it feels great!
Relaxing Outdoors on a Sunny Day As you relax sprawled out in a lawn chair, the sun warms your skin and a light breeze keeps the temperature comfortable. Birds are chirping merrily in the trees behind you. You are at complete peace with the environment.
Holding Hands with Someone You Love Every time she grabs your hand you are overcome with an awareness of how much she means to you. Holding hands is sensual and physically intimate, yet subtle. There are few people you allow to hold your hand, so when it happens you can be sure that the moment is special.
Playing in the Water Water marvels people of all ages. From jumping in puddles as a child, to doing cannon balls in the pool as an adolescent, to enjoying a cocktail in the Jacuzzi as an adult water is enjoyable.
Making Someone Smile You notice that your colleague has been under a great deal of stress with meeting a deadline, so you take it upon yourself to complete one of her indirect responsibilities for her. As soon as she realizes what you did, she comes into your office with a big smile on her face. Thank you, she says. You just hit two birds with one stone, because making her smile just made your day.
Finishing What You Started You just finished up a big project youve been working on for the last few months, or maybe you just finished your first marathon Either way, you finalized what you set out to accomplish. The feeling of self accomplishment you get when you finish what you started is by far one of the most rewarding simple pleasures life has to offer.

A comprehensive list of lifes simple pleasures would be quite extensive. My list represents those which are most satisfying to a sample of people in and around my life. With a few sporadic exceptions, I believe these simple pleasures hold universal appeal.

Spam King could face criminal charges

Joel — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 07:01:26 GMT

This guy deserves this!

'Spam king' could face criminal charges in Facebook case

n a move that could land Sanford Wallace in jail if convicted, a federal judge on Friday referred a lawsuit Facebook filed against the "spam king" to the U.S. Attorney's office for possible criminal proceedings.

A written ruling from Judge Jeremy Fogel in U.S. District in San Jose, Calif., is expected early next week, a court clerk said. The action came at a hearing on a Facebook motion that Wallace be found in criminal contempt for allegedly continuing to send spam on Facebook.

Facebook sued Sanford and two others in February alleging they used phishing sites or other means to fraudulently gain access to Facebook accounts and used them to distribute phishing spam throughout the network.

The judge had earlier entered a preliminary injunction against Wallace for failing to appear in court for the original proceedings, said Sam O'Rourke, Facebook's lead counsel for litigation and intellectual property. Wallace appeared in court on Friday in what is believed to be his first court appearance in any of the cases filed against him, according to O'Rourke.

Facebook also had asked for a default judgment in the case, but the judge was prevented from taking action on that since Wallace filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Thursday and civil actions seeking monetary sanctions are automatically stayed when a defendant files for bankruptcy, O'Rourke said. Facebook believes Wallace filed for bankruptcy to avoid a default judgment and criminal contempt order, he said.

Facebook plans to ask the bankruptcy court to lift the stay so a ruling can be made on the default judgment to become a creditor, O'Rourke said.

"We're very pleased Judge Jeremy Fogel agreed that there were grounds for criminal contempt and that the U.S. Attorney's office should investigate Wallace," Facebook said in an e-mail statement. "Wallace filed for bankruptcy, which is not unexpected and only delays our judgment temporarily. We will continue to pursue the judgment and will be reviewing his filing very closely."

The order should serve as a strong deterrent against spammers, Facebook said. "Fogel's ruling demonstrates that judges will enforce restraining orders and spammers who violate them face criminal prosecution" the statement said.

A year ago, Wallace and another defendant were ordered to pay MySpace.com $234 millionfollowing a trial at which Wallace repeatedly failed to turn over documents or even show up in court.

In the largest judgment in history for a case brought under the Can-Spam Act, the federal court in San Jose awarded Facebook $873 million in damages late last year against a Canadian man accused of spamming users of the site.

What supplement brands do you want to see on the island?

671Supplement — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:15:51 GMT

Hi guys,

A buddy of mine and myself are actively looking at opening up a small shop to sell supplements and some supplies geard towards the fitness community. We currently have a few brands already, that we have established with. We are looking at establishing with a few more companies that carry more supporting supplements for diverse groups. Our aim is to bring in supplement brands that are not currently offered on island and to also bring in supplement brands that are well sold on island, but are too high priced here on the island. Case in point G&C (purposely mispelled) is selling a 2lb bottle of Optimum Nutrition Hydrowhey for $5X.XX, when I can purchase online a 5lb bottle of Hydrowhey for the same price. We are not trying to take on the big shops, but we want to offer the supplements that they don't and offer pricing that isn't so jacked up.

Please let us know what brands you would like to see us bring in.

We currently have:

Jennifer Lopez And Marc Anthony Split

Jennifer Lopez And Marc Anthony Split
JULY 15, 2011
BY : MTV NEWS LATEST HEADLINES
By Kara Warner

After seven years of what appeared to be wedded bliss, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have called it quits.

"We have decided to end our marriage," Lopez and Anthony revealed to People magazine via a joint statement. "This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.

"It is a painful time for all involved," the statement continued, "and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time."

This news likely comes as a shock to their fans, as the seemingly happy couple were seen together frequently during the most recent season of "American Idol," on which Lopez served as a judge and Anthony appeared in the audience several times and as a mentor to the contestants.

Lopez and Anthony were married in June 2004 at Lopez's Beverly Hills home. The wedding was a major surprise in the entertainment world, given the fact that J.Lo had ended her highly publicized relationship with Ben Affleck only 18 months before, and even more so for the family and friends who attended the casual ceremony, all of whom had been invited to attend under the guise of a summer party.

The two Latin superstars dated briefly in the '90s and remained friends in the years before their marriage. Anthony was previously married to former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, while Lopez was wed to Ojani Noa and Cris Judd. Professionally, Anthony and Lopez have recorded a number of duets together and starred in and produced the feature film, "El Cantante."

Lopez and Anthony have two children together, 3-year-old twins Max and Emme.

Man's penis cut off, put through garbage disposal

David — Thur, 14 Jul 2011 11:40:25 GMT

OUCH!!

WESTMINSTER, Calif. Prosecutors say an argument over houseguests led a Southern California woman to cut off her estranged husband's penis and put it down a garbage disposal.

Catherine Kieu, 48, was charged Wednesday with torture in a case that has garnered international attention and could land her behind bars for life.

Kieu appeared briefly in Orange County Superior Court in a navy blue jail jumpsuit, hiding her face with her long, dark hair. She was appointed a public attorney and denied bail.

She was placed in the jail's medical ward to be psychologically evaluated, sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino told the Orange County Register.

The petite woman whose chains clanked as she shuffled into the caged area of the courtroom where inmates are held will return to court July 22 for her arraignment, which was continued on Wednesday, and a bail review hearing.

Kieu and her husband were still living together in a Garden Grove condo that he owned. He had filed for divorce in May, and they argued before the attack about friends staying at the condo, authorities said.

On Monday night, police say Kieu spiked a meal and served it to the

The 60-year-old man started to feel sick and went to lie down, then awoke tied to the bed as Kieu attacked him with a 10-inch kitchen knife, police said.

She then put the penis down a garbage disposal, police said.

"It's hard to believe what would motivate a person to do this sort of thing," the district attorney's chief of staff, Susan Kang Schroeder, said outside court. "It's one of the worst things you could do to a person short of killing him."

Police did not release the victim's name. He underwent surgery and was listed in good condition at University of California at Irvine Medical Center, hospital spokesman John Murray said.

Murray declined to say whether the penis was reattached or provide any additional details about the victim's condition, citing patient privacy laws.

Dr. Joel Gelman heads UC Irvine's Center for Reconstructive Urology, didn't comment on the victim specifically but said a severed penis is "a terrible loss and it's the hardest thing, in our specialty, to deal with surgically."

In cases of penis loss, a penis-like structure with limited utility can be constructed using flesh and skin from the forearm, said Gelman.

Kieu was charged with one felony count of torture, one felony count of aggravated mayhem and sentencing enhancements for great bodily injury and personal use of a knife. If convicted of all counts, she could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Garden Grove Police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said Kieu called police Monday night to report a medical emergency and told arriving officers "he deserved it" before pointing to the room where the victim was found bleeding profusely. She was taken into custody without incident and refused to talk to officers further.

The couple was married in December 2009. When the victim filed for divorce, he cited irreconcilable differences, court records show. Kieu was slowly moving her things out of the condo, authorities said.

The victim declined to comment when he was reached by phone Tuesday by the Register.

"This is a private matter," he said.

A call by The Associated Press to a phone number listed on court documents for the victim was answered Wednesday by a person who promptly hung up.

Officers visited the victim on Tuesday and found him in "amazingly good spirits considering everything he has gone through," Nightengale said.

In 1993, Lorena Bobbitt cut off her husband's penis in Virginia and threw it out of her car window into a field on the side of the road. She claimed years of sexual abuse drove her to the attack, and she was acquitted by reason of insanity.
