Oracle CEO buys Hawaiian Island

Billionaire Larry Ellison, the 3rd richest American according to Forbes, has purchased Lanai which is the 6th largest Hawaiian island.

At $500,000,000 it was quite a steal considering it breaks down to a tiny 0.13 cents a square foot. A great 500 million USD investment by the Oracle CEO.

Lanai is a destination of untouched tranquility, relaxation and tranquility. A golfers paradise, no distraction or hustle and bustle like Oahu.

This romantic island is a true getaway, though they also have a Four Seasons five star hotel.

The rich get richer. Congratulations, Mr. Ellison on obtaining Hawaii’s most enticing island. Well played sir and Aloha.

LA Kings of NHL Hockey 2012

L.A. the new Kings of NHL Hockey won the 2012 Stanley Cup tonight completing a dream playoff run and season for Conn Smythe MVP Trophy winning goalie Johnathan Quick.

The LA Kings need to lock up a long term contract with Quick who has one year remaining. Check out his performance:

1. 1.49 GA in the playoffs – NHL Record
2. 10 consecutive playoff road games – NHL Record
3. 16-4 Playoffs won-loss – Tied NHL Record
4. Won first three games of all four playoff series.
5. Most playoff shutouts one season in NHL history.

For the first time, after waiting 45 years, the LA Kings have won the Stanley Cup. They’re young enough, big and fast enough to do it again.

Los Angeles Kings became the first NHL eighth seed to win a title and they did so by winning a record 10 straight road games.

The city of LA has another champion sports franchise. The NHL has the Figueroa Street Bullies.

Congratulations to the whole LA Kings team and the professionalism of coach Darryl Sutter. Hermosa Beach, California will be rocking tonight.

HM The Queen Diamond Jubilee

HM The Queen Diamond Jubilee celebrating 60 years on the Throne of the British Monarchy will be celebrated on the holiday weekend of June 2 – 5, 2012.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee message:

Today, as I mark 60 years as your Queen, I am writing to thank you for the wonderful support and encouragement that you have given to me and Prince Philip over these years and to tell you how deeply moved we have been to receive so many kind messages about the Diamond Jubilee.

In this special year, as I dedicate myself anew to your service, I hope we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighbourliness,

examples of which I have been fortunate to see throughout my reign and which my family and I look forward to seeing in many forms as we travel throughout the United Kingdom and the wider Commonwealth.

I hope also that this Jubilee year will be a time to give thanks for the great advances that have been made since 1952 and to look forward to the future with clear head and warm heart as we join together in our celebrations.

I send my sincere good wishes to you all.

ELIZABETH R.

Money and Happiness Formula

There is a formula for money-getting and happiness. Conclusion of Claude Bristol’s “ The Magic of Believing.”

How to project your thoughts [Chapter 7]  Money-getting formula:

A person who desires riches must go to where the riches are. If it’s money you want, go to where money is and where it is being spent.

Money-getting formula: associate with people who have it or who know how to make it. Become personally acquainted with those who have the authority to spend it.

Sell yourself with the right mental attitude and aura. Be properly attired and focused on your goal.

Belief makes things happen. [Chapter 8] Happiness Formula

Belief makes things happen. All power is from within the image in your mind.

Use it and become the person you envision. Magic there will be.

Happiness is not from outside. Happiness is a state of mind, which we ourselves are in control of.

“ There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” – Wayne Dyer

the Mirror Technique

Chapter 6 of the Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol is entitled the Mirror Technique.

Mirror technique. Stare into the mirror. Do you see a man among men, mouse or lion?

The mirror technique is a supercharging method of stepping up the subconscious mind forces.

Stand in front of a mirror and assume the position. Look into the very depths of your eyes and tell yourself, you’re going to get what you want.

Name it out loud. Make a ritual of it and you will be surprised at the results.

You will develop a sense of confidence and power within yourself.

“ Every man carries in his eyes the exact indication of his rank.” – Ralph W. Emerson

the Art of Mental Pictures

Chapter 5 of the self-help classic the Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol is the Art of Mental Pictures.

Assume the virtue in your imagination. See yourself doing the thing and go ahead and just do it.

With vision, the people prosper. Act as if. Act as if you were confident and in control of your destiny.

Plant the right kind of seed and reap a rich harvest in due season, like a farmer.

A true mental picture is proper use of the imagination – a clear and dynamic desire.

Faith combined with works, deeds, action is alive and powerful.

“ If you can dream it – You can do it.”  – Walt Disney

Suggestion is Power

Suggestion is Power. Chapter 4 of the Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol.

Suggestion is power. Repetition of mantras, words or formulas is basic to all religions and play their part.

This brings us to the power of suggestion and autosuggestion which causes the subconscious mind to begin its creative work.

Once belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. It is the law of suggestion.

Suggestion is power – through raising our expectations. It’s the ACT of BELIEVING that is the starting force or generating power that leads to successful accomplishment

Suggestion is a powerful weapon in the hands of anyone who knows how to use it positively.

“ Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are.” – Claude Bristol
