Guest Post: How to Stay Focused

I would like to welcome my first guest-poster... Rainy of the Dark.

Best Tips for Victims of Stalking, Harassment and Abuse

"Evil requires the sanction of the victim." - Ayn Rand

If you have (or do not want to have) a stalker or psychopath, here are some of the best tips to ensure your privacy and safety.

Red Flags: Do You Have an Online Dating Cyber Stalker?

Congratulations! You’ve finally met someone online or at an internet dating website, and they seem... a little interesting...

But things don’t feel right, and you can’t pinpoint what it is exactly.

Here are a few warning signs that you may have an online dating cyber stalker, and what you can do about it...

Are You a Real Beauty? Stalked?

If you have someone hot on your trail, and hot for you, you may want to consider this.

A note here about attractive women. If you are a woman under age 45 or so, with average or above average looks, you have a special advantage.

Stalker Situation? Join the Circus!

Perhaps when you were younger you had a dream about running off with the circus. Well now might be just the time to re-visit that childhood dream. An old friend recently reminded me that anyone seeking to vanish ought to take a look at the "amusements" industry.

Spurned Texas man accused in 2-week assault

This is a shocking story that has come out of Texas. After reading it, I have concluded that there is no age limit or morals when it comes to a stalker or psychopath...

This poor 62-year-old woman from Texas must be completely devastated and shocked! What she would have gone through...

Here is to hoping this creep will get life in prison or (maybe even) the death sentence. He has ruined her life.

Fly Like an Eagle… Even When Surrounded by Turkeys

If you are pondering why perhaps someone in your life (such as a stalker or psychopath) acts the way they do, you may discover more about them by examining eagles and turkeys. Yes - birds.

You can choose to be like an eagle; fly high and be safe from any predator or threat.

Or, you can choose to hang with gobble gobblers - pecking around, settling for scrubs, and ultimately be stuffed at Thanksgiving - and devoured.

These two birds of the animal kingdom are obviously very different in their breed. Eagles let the winds of a storm carry them higher than they can go on their own.

Turkey's never really get off the ground or go anywhere.

Stalking rates higher in Eastern Canada: study

Go figure - According to CBC News, Statistics Canada has again published findings of a study based on stalking throughout Canada. You can read the report (published in 2009) here.

They say that more stalking happens on P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island) than in any other province, and claim that rates tend to be lower in the western part of the country.

How can that be when P.E.I. has a population of 141,000 residents in an area of 5,684 sq. kilometres. Certainly, there must be more stalking in Vancouver or Calgary or Edmonton than in the entire province of P.E.I.?

Documents and ID - Before Leaving the Country

If you are planning on moving away to another country to escape a stalker (or maybe just for better weather or privacy), then you will need to be prepared by getting all your ducks in order, before you leave. Having all important documents in order before you cross the border will make everything that much more easier for you (and save money). That’s what this article is all about.

There is nothing like already being in your dream destination, and later discovering that you need some paperwork or identification that you can only obtain in person in your home country, and that you could have much easier put in place, while back in your home country.

Eric Wheeler: The 'Autograph Stalker'

I came across a hilarious Blogspot blogger named Eric Wheeler.

He has managed to obtain numerous autographs from a number of famous celebrities; that is not what makes him special though - it is the way in which he wrote to each celebrity.

For example, here is what he wrote to Robin Williams:
