Hakeem Olajuwon net worth: Hakeem Olajuwon is a retired Nigerian-American professional basketball player who has a net worth of $200 million. Hakeem Olajuwon earned his net worth from years of playing pro basketball for the Houston Rockets and Toronto Raptors and as an entrepreneur. He played basketball professionally for 18 years. Born Hakeem Abdul "The Dream" Olajuwon on January, 21, 1963, in Lagos, Nigeria, he rose to international stardom playing the center position for NBA teams, the Houston Rockets and Toronto Raptors. Even though he was introduced with the sport at the age of 15, standing 6 ft 9 in. (206 cm) tall helped him land the center position for the Nigerian national team. From 1981 to 1984, he attended the University of Houston, where he led his team, three times in a row, to the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Final Four (national tournament semifinals). After he was drafted by the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association, Olajuwon and the even taller Ralph Sampson created the duo aka Twin Towers offense. This had an impact on creating an image for himself as a dominant big man in the NBA. After he was traded to the Warriors in 1988, he joined the team of the Rockets' where he established himself as an undisputed leader. By the time he became an American citizen in 1993, Hakeem became the only player in NBA history to win the NBA MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, as well as Finals MVP awards in the same season, i.e., 1993-94 season. In 1996, he joined the gold-medal-winning US national team at the Olympics, and also entered the list of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. What's more, together with Shaquille O'Neal, he was recognized as the NBA's best centers. He signed with the Toronto Raptors in 2001, but a year later Olajuwon retired as league's all-time leader in blocks with 3,830.

Aly Raisman: Olympic Hero, Jewish Daughter
A gymnast's parents momentarily steal the show
Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman, who took one of the two American spots in the women's all-around individual finals on Sunday night, is a paragon of Jewish excellence. Raisman is from Needham, Massachusetts. She's a past recipient of the Pearl D. Mazor Outstanding Female Jewish High School Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, an honor that cannot be acronymed and is given out by the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame (which does exist and is in Commack, New York). Her winning floor routine was performed to the song Hava Nagila, a tune she's proud to use "because there aren't too many Jewish elites out there."
Known more for her steadying influence, Raisman is the Olympic team captain, despite being in the shadow of more electric and well-regarded American gymnasts like Gabby Douglas and Jordyn Wieber, the latter of whom Raisman edged out with her performance on Sunday night.
Just when you thought a better script could not be written, enter her parents Lynn (a former gymnast) and Rick Raisman, who were unmercifully filmed by NBC observing their daughter's routine on the uneven bars–her least favorite event. The clip captures the seam where love, expectation, and Massachusetts accents collide:
Best of luck to Aly on Thursday!

I have the 13 version and to my knowledge the only change is ... mine came with a taller intake tube. There may be no reason for you to change anything at all. My 13 had a build date of 9/25/12.... I bought mine in December of 2012. On that build date RAM decided to run a few AC lines in a new way that caused them to be much higher in the engine compartment.
You'd never notice unless you were trying to add a Vararam intake or an S&B CAI- The lines get in the way.
All that said- RAM re-routed the AC lines on all build dates after that and that means the taller intake tube is not likely needed.
I'm no expert on Vararams or Ram AC lines..... The only reason I'm mentioning it is you said you already have the Vararam and I'm thinking it will fit just fine.

Kosher Is Hip
Nowadays, everyone answers to a higher authority
Amid a food Zeitgeist that stresses health and quality, is concerned with the morality of eating meat, and values the local and the organic, a perhaps unsurprising trend has materialized: more and more non-Jewish folks want to buy food, and especially meat, marked with that U inside the circle. Only 15 percent of those deliberately buying kosher are doing so for religious reasons, and 40 percent of the products in most markets carry the kosher seal. Locavores see kosher food as "the next best thing"; those with food allergies see it as safer; vegetarians trust that something labeled "parve" has no meat or dairy; and ethical eaters believe that kosher slaughter—which requires a specific diet followed by a quick slice of the carotid artery—is more humane.
Kosher food has even become a totem for the Bourgeois-Bohemian set. Pomegranate market—"the kosher Whole Foods"—is located in a largely Orthodox neighborhood deep in Brooklyn, but that has not stopped it from attracting hordes of yuppies who live in brownstones closer to Manhattan. If you're familiar with the demographics of Park Slope and Boerum Hill, you know that kosher food's appeal for most of these people is not religious. Although in fairness, and as you know if you're familiar with their demographics, not a few of these people are Jewish.

Temecula Shopping Tips by travelgourmet Top 5 Page for this destination
Temecula Shopping: 8 reviews and 9 photos
Best Rated
- 1
OLIVE OIL. Yes, a store that is dedicated to the precious oil, olive oil, that is. This store has many types of olive oils, eight that I counted, from a limited production Fresh Basil olive oil to my favorite, the Roasted Garlic olive oil, as well as the different artisan foods that accompany fine dining are ready to pack and take home with you. The best part of the store is that they are family owned, grow their own olive groves, and process their own product. As they say, "May "olive" your dreams come true".
Temecula Olive Oil Company now has two locations. This one in Old Town Temecula and a new store in Old Town San Diego. 2754 Calhoun St. #1, Plaza Del Pasado. Phone 619 293-7515. Look for them if you are in either Old Town, Temecula or San Diego.
What to buy: My wife insisted that I try all eight varieties of olive oil at home with the many dishes that I now and then create. Of course, my wife is a gourmet cook, while I am the chef, so her word is solid. Eight bottles of olive oil, well, 7 1/2 bottles now. I tried out the Fresh Basil on some feta cheese, coated in grated black pepper. Simple, but oh, so yummy.

The Country Porch. Makes you think of sitting on a rocking chair on an old dilapidated wood floor, sipping a cool cider. In reality, it is a store located in Temecula full of old stuff. Junk to some, gold to others. Oh, and the old stuff is referred to as antique. To be old is one thing and not of value. To be an antique the price tag goes up. Way up. I remember spotting an antique lunch pail that looked a lot like the one I threw away in third grade because it was old. Well, that old became antique and the price became priceless.
Antique stores in the past have always made me feel like I was looking for a handout. Now, I better have my wallet stuffed, because it feels more like an upscale department store. At least, the Country Porch felt that way. Wow! Hold on to that old pipe that Uncle Bill hung off his lower lip. It might be a hand made, rare wood, one of a kind, major pipe artist name that is hard to find today and worth a fortune. Come on, I've watched the Antique Road Show on the old telly and some of those old things shown by the program are true antiques worth up to $50,000. If you think that's blowing smoke in your eyes. Look inside an antique store in your neighborhood. If only I could find something that was old that one day could become an antique. Guess I'll have to wait a few more years and then have a good look in the mirror.
What to buy: The Country Porch is for the antique buff. If you are into really, really old stuff that might be half worn out or hasn't been in production for over 50 years then you are into antiques. I must admit that even I saw a few things that made me remember my childhood but I have a hard time buying something old for a lot of money when I can buy something new for a lot less. What is fun is to walk through the Country Porch and see how many things you can remember that were commonplace in your youth but hard to find now. Who knows, you may become so attached to that old, I mean antique, pot you spot that you will have to have it. If you purchase something, you just might be turning into an antique buff.
What to pay: If hard to find, one of a kind, a lot.

This article was originally posted atSoftware Advice and written by Holly Aker.
When tragedy strikes, whether a natural disaster like the recent Oklahoma tornado or a tragedy like the Boston Marathon bombing, people are inspired to act immediately. After the devastation at this year's Boston Marathon, people were eager to give back to the victims, families and first responders affected by the bombings.
According to an article on Software Advice, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino formed The One Fund Boston immediately after the bombings to provide people an outlet to give back. In just one week, The One Fund Boston raised more than $20 million dollars, the article reported. The small, impromptu organization was able to raise such a large amount of many because of two main factors: corporate philanthropy and crowdfunding through social media.
Shortly after the The One Fund Boston went live, companies like New Balance, the MLB and Simon Property Groups contributed a significant amount of donations. Within the first week, corporate donations from companies like these totaled almost two thirds of all contributions to this campaign. The other third of total donations came from crowdfunding.
If your company is interested in raising money in response to disasters like the Oklahoma tornado or the Boston Marathon, here are a few tips to make your campaign successful:
1. Act quickly – People are more likely to donate right after a disaster rather than after time has passed.
2. Leverage online influencers – Already having a voice as a brand is a great starting point. From there, find other brands or people with large audiences on social media who have a reputation for giving back and ask them to join your campaign.
3. Use a multi-channel approach – Spread your campaign across as many social media outlets to get the word out to as many people as possible, keeping in mind channels like Pinterest – or even Storify – which are gaining traction as response campaigns become more prevalent.
4. Use hashtags – Hashtags categorize information and can help raise awareness. Additionally, companies have the opportunity to create campaign-specific hashtags which create a lasting impression.
5. Get visual – People are more likely to remember and share your message if it comes with a visual. Including infographics or some kind of imagery makes a message more memorable.
Leveraging the collective power of brands and online influencers, corporate philanthropists can create (and contribute to) powerful crowdfunding campaigns that are essential to raising needed dollars post tragedy. How has your organization contributed in response to emergencies? Feel free to leave your experiences and insights below.

This is a 3 bdrm 2 bath house with laundry room & furnace. There is a large living room with sliding glass doors to the side yard. The kitchen is very large & a joy to cook in. A deck out front with a chimney (fireplace) makes cocktail time very enjoyable. This is a perfect area for water activities, walking, bike riding & just relaxing. There are 6+ golf courses in the area in addition to a small par 3 course in Houghton Lake. Grayling hospital is only 10 miles away & is one of the top hospitals in the state. There are 3 airports within 2 hours - Traverse City, Lansing, & Flint.
Thank you for viewing our family home. We have been visiting Michigan since the 1970's. Most of that time until 2004 was spent in the Grand Traverse Bay area. Since that time we have enjoyed many nights at Higgins Lake.
We plan to continue experiencing all that Higgins Lake has to offer for years to come, but scheduling will required us to leave the house unused most of this summer. This is your opportunity to take advantage of our limited time this summer.
Lanier Pratt purchased this house in 2004
The house is very homey and has all the characteristics of a summer cottage including a light house design throughout. You're a long stones through from the lake where you wade out for almost 50 yards in the crystal clear water that is still only up to your waste.
WE had a good time ... There were a few problems with the plumbing toilets not flushing all the time , water softener condensation .. The pull out couch had two springs missing , found 0ne and replaced it the best I could .. Dog crap in the yard. ....... But we still had a good time & the house was nice to stay in ...
The house was wonderful, and we had a great time at the Cottage. Exactly as listed… with a lot of extras, toys/games for the kids, water floaties, etc. We were 4 adults and 4 kids and there was plenty of room for everyone. It was nice and clean, and we would definitely stay there again!
We had a wonderful time at the Cottage. The cottage was exactly as listed and had many extra amenities and items for our use such as games, books, kids toys, etc.
A fire pit has been added to the back/side yard that we were able to enjoy every night. We were there with 4 adults and a Toddler (2 years) and there was plenty of room in the front yard for the child and the dog to play.
There are 2 stores within walking distance, a small beach area and dock just down the road, and the State Park was not far away either. We had only 1 small issue with the internet/cable not working, but it was resolved quickly by the owners.
The house was clean and neat and we would stay there again. The owners were very flexible and accommodating - we booked pretty close to the time we wanted to vacation, and it was no problem and they allowed us to bring our dog.
This house is very nice and clean, and decorated attractively. It is very roomy and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is very nice and has everything you might need. The weekly rate is very reasonable. Pets are allowed, so my son was able to bring their dog with them. Unfortunately, it was a very hot week, and with no air conditioning, it was kind of miserable (85 degrees) in the house. We had numerous fans that helped. (Some we bought, or brought with us). The cable TV service did not work most of the time, but the DVD player and VCR worked fine. We had a few problems while there...on our second day there, my 89 year old mother fell from the front porch step (no handrail) and has a hip fracture. I got a cut on the heel of my foot due to some metal trim on the floor of the laundry room. I covered the area with a rug, so no one else would get hurt. I have made Mr. Pratt aware of these problems. Mr. Lanier Pratt has been very kind and easy to communicate with. My son and his family did enjoy swimming in Higgins lake and canoeing down the Au Sable river.
Higgins Lake is rated one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. There are 2 state parks nearby - North Higgins Lake St. Park - within 2 miles & South Higgins Lake St. Park - about 10 miles. Both have great beaches, grilling facilities, play areas & boat launches. This is a great area to relax & rejuvenate after a long, cold winter. It's a very relaxing atmosphere with friendly neighbors & lots of activities.

India 'disappointed' after US downgrades air safety ranking
Published on Jan 31, 2014 6:27 PM
NEW DELHI (AFP) - US aviation authorities have downgraded India's safety ranking in a "disappointing" and "surprising" move that will hit air links between the countries, India's aviation minister said on Friday.
The US Federal Aviation Administration downgraded India after conducting an audit last year of India's aviation regulator that found 31 areas of concern, a statement said.
The areas of concern include better recruitment and training of professional and technical staff for India's aviation regulator, responsible for the safety of the country's airlines, the statement.
"They have downgraded us to category 2, which is very disappointing and also surprising," Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said at a press conference in New Delhi.

wondertouch, the leading software developer of particle effects, was the tool of choice for Eden FX in its work on HELLBOY. In particular, particleIllusion's speed and ease-of-use proved to be a major asset for animators at Eden FX when they were asked to create shots of smoke from a burn as well as augment live-action footage of columns exploding from gunfire during a shoot-out sequence.
Steve Pugh, visual effects producer at Eden FX, explains, "We were under a very tight deadline on this project, so every tool had to perform. For one sequence, we had to deliver two shots of a smoke effect that would arise after Hellboy catches rosary beads in his hand and the crucifix burns his palm on contact. Using particleIllusion, the production crew was able to very easily track a smoke element onto the moving footage and quickly dial in just the right amount of speed, drift, turbulence, and opacity. In a library shoot-out sequence, Hellboy blasts through huge columns while trying to kill a demon -- sending chunks of the columns flying. On-set charges provided some punch, but the director wanted more damage and intensity. Again we turned to particleIllusion for a quick turnaround - adding smoke, sparks and debris to the explosions. The software made very short work of the shots and the end result was really fantastic."
Chris Zapara, Eden FX supervising artist, had a similarly positive experience with particleIllusion while working on shots that needed to convey the impression of great force, saying, "HELLBOY abounds with effects such as explosions, dust hits, burning and steam, and by nature these types of shots must look exceptionally powerful and dynamic. particleIllusion has been invaluable in that regard. In one particular scene, Hellboy rips a piece of machinery from a wall and smashes it into another wall, causing the piece of machinery to gush steam. In the initial shots, the existing steam wasn't strong enough and was additionally corrupted by wires supporting the prop. With particleIllusion, we were able to quickly match the existing steam, track the nozzle onto the film plate, and effectively triple the amount of steam, giving the shot the appropriate look and feel."
"Eden FX's ability to create complex and dynamic effects for HELLBOY in such a short period of time illustrates particleIllusion's core strengths in meeting tough production challenges -- extreme ease-of-use, realtime previsualization previews and ultra-fast rendering of final output," remarked wondertouch president Alan Lorence.
particleIllusion, which has been in use at Eden FX for two years, is also incorporated into its production pipeline to create a broad range of particle effects for such high-profile television series as STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE and NAVY NCIS.
Established in 2000 by visual effects and post-production notables John Gross and Mark Miller, Hollywood-based Eden FX (www.edenfx.com) specializes in visual effects work in the areas of 3D animation, character animation, 3D tracking, compositing, direction, on-set supervision and conceptual design and consultation.
St. Louis, Missouri-based wondertouch (www.wondertouch.com) develops particle effects for use in film post-production, film previs, standard and HD video and commercial broadcast industries.

Genome wide SNP discovery, analysis and evaluation in mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)

BMC Genomics 2011, 12:150 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-12-150Published: 16 March 2011
Next generation sequencing technologies allow to obtain at low cost the genomic sequence information that currently lacks for most economically and ecologically important organisms. For the mallard duck genomic data is limited. The mallard is, besides a species of large agricultural and societal importance, also the focal species when it comes to long distance dispersal of Avian Influenza. For large scale identification of SNPs we performed Illumina sequencing of wild mallard DNA and compared our data with ongoing genome and EST sequencing of domesticated conspecifics. This is the first study of its kind for waterfowl.
More than one billion base pairs of sequence information were generated resulting in a 16× coverage of a reduced representation library of the mallard genome. Sequence reads were aligned to a draft domesticated duck reference genome and allowed for the detection of over 122,000 SNPs within our mallard sequence dataset. In addition, almost 62,000 nucleotide positions on the domesticated duck reference showed a different nucleotide compared to wild mallard. Approximately 20,000 SNPs identified within our data were shared with SNPs identified in the sequenced domestic duck or in EST sequencing projects. The shared SNPs were considered to be highly reliable and were used to benchmark non-shared SNPs for quality. Genotyping of a representative sample of 364 SNPs resulted in a SNP conversion rate of 99.7%. The correlation of the minor allele count and observed minor allele frequency in the SNP discovery pool was 0.72.
We identified almost 150,000 SNPs in wild mallards that will likely yield good results in genotyping. Of these, ~101,000 SNPs were detected within our wild mallard sequences and ~49,000 were detected between wild and domesticated duck data. In the ~101,000 SNPs we found a subset of ~20,000 SNPs shared between wild mallards and the sequenced domesticated duck suggesting a low genetic divergence. Comparison of quality metrics between the total SNP set (122,000 + 62,000 = 184,000 SNPs) and the validated subset shows similar characteristics for both sets. This indicates that we have detected a large amount (~150,000) of accurately inferred mallard SNPs, which will benefit bird evolutionary studies, ecological studies (e.g. disentangling migratory connectivity) and industrial breeding programs.

The Australian legend Ric Charlesworth shares his thoughts
MUMBAI: "The best Indian hockey coach was probably Balkishen Singh, whose teams were very competitive and who seemed to be flexible in his approach," said Australian hockey great Ric Charlesworth in an e-mail reply to a query about Indian hockey personalities who have left a lasting impact on the game.
The four-time Olympian is all set to take charge as Expert Coach-Technical Advisor of Indian hockey from December 2007.
The current chief coach of the Indian hockey team, Joaquim Carvalho, as well as the Technical Directors, M.M. Somaya and Merwyn Fernandes, played their best under Balkishen at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and have gone on record about the utility of the Indian's coaching methods.
Charlesworth captained the Australian men's hockey team at Los Angeles, guiding the squad to a fourth place finish. India ended fifth.
Unique style
Balkishen was later invited by Australia to work with women's hockey, spoke at seminars and hockey clinics there, and influencing hockey thinkers down under to evolve a unique pattern based on the best of Asian and European techniques.
A hockey visionary, Balkishen's twin centre-halves (attacking and defending) concept and emphasis on aggressive, physical midfielders found an echo in India's Asia Cup 2007 victory under Carvalho.
The team management encouraged Sardara Singh, Bimal Lakra, Gurbaj Singh and Ignace Tirkey to use their physique as well as skills to gain midfield dominance.
Charlesworth, known for authority and control around the centreline, followed a similar philosophy while leading from the front in the 1986 World Cup in London. Australia went on to win the gold and its captain was named the 'most outstanding player.'
He is the second foreigner assigned to work with Indian hockey at the national level. German Gerhard Rach's tenure as India's first foreign coach at the 2004 Athens Olympics was marked by strong differences with senior players like Dhanraj Pillay and Gagan Ajit Singh.
Asked whether the Indian players and coaches were receptive to change, he said: "I think it (Indian hockey) has been too rigid and proud in the past. I hope that is changing," said Charlesworth, noted in coaching circles for success in World Cups, Olympic Games and Champions Trophy with the Hockeyroos, as the Australia women's team is called.
Charlesworth, coming here as part of the 'Promotion of Indian Hockey' initiative from the world hockey Federation FIH, in collaboration with the Indian Hockey Federation, will be involved in putting a structure in place aimed at improving India's performance at the 2010 World Cup and Commonwealth Games and the 2012 Olympic Games, as per a FIH press release.
"At the same time, he will be available to the present coaching staff for any advice and input they may need in the lead-up to the 2008 Olympic qualifying tournament," according to the official statement.
A long-time follower of Indian hockey, Charlesworth feels that the most fascinating and frustrating aspect of India is its quality performance one day and mediocrity the next. "It has been erratic," mentioned Charlesworth.
The victory in this year's Asia Cup was built on sustained and intense performances over a week, a deviation from the inconsistent past.
Better year
Asked whether India's skill, aggression and goals in the Chennai event was the way forward, he explained: "There is no one answer. I think India won the 2003 Asia Cup beating Korea and Pakistan in the semifinal and final.
"That was a much better year than this one, as India beat Australia, Germany and Spain. However, the 2004 Olympics was a disappointment.
"The result in Chennai was encouraging but without other changes, it is unlikely that what you describe is the answer. These things depend on many factors."
Balkishen is no more, but his wards in the Indian camp and an Aussie achiever with the highest respect for him will soon realise that they think alike while working towards making FIH's dream of lifting Team India back to the world hockey's elite come true.

Teen arrested after hitting store clerk repeatedly
CORPUS CHRISTI - An 18-year-old man was arrested Monday evening after confessing to hitting a store clerk in the face at a Flour Bluff convenience store.
At about 9:36 p.m., Wesley Lavender entered the store in the 9800 block of South Padre Island Drive, reached over the counter and repeatedly punched the employee in the face after she accused him of stealing, according to a police brief.
The woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries including a cut to her left eye and several bumps to her head. She was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial, where she remained Tuesday afternoon.
Officers found Lavender at a nearby apartment complex after getting a description of him from a customer at the store. He had bloody clothing and knuckles, along with the keys to the store, according to the brief. No weapon was recovered.
Lavender was being held Tuesday at Nueces County Jail on suspicion of aggravated robbery with a $30,000 bond.

Boomz Audio
Portable Mini Speakers
Audio On The Go
The Boomz speaker is mini in size, but packs a mighty punch. It's easy to toss in your bag or backpack, and it's a great fit for space-constrained places like a dorm room or office. Another nifty feature is that it functions as an all-in-one portable MP3 player. Using a micro SD card (not included), you can upload your music directly to the Boomz device, so you can listen to tunes without being tethered to your smartphone or other media player.
Having your music library accessible from a smartphone or tablet is convenient, but the sound quality of most mobile devices is disappointing. That's what inspired Vince Khristov, the founder of Boomz Audio, to create his mighty mini speaker. Boomz gives the audio boost our smartphones need, and it gets the job done without sacrificing mobility.

Grommet Launch Conversation
Hi Everyone! I'm so glad to have our Boomz Audio Speakers featured as today's Grommet. At BOOMZ Audio our goal is to provide our customers with quality audio products that go beyond what is currently available. When we first developed BOOMZ we knew we had a hit on our hands – and not just because we liked what we heard – BOOMZ consistently amazes everyone who hears it. I am here and would love to answer any questions you may have for me today!
Is there any way we can hear it? I was hoping it woudl be playing in your video...
@Beth Thompson Hi Beth! We are working something out so that you can hear the great quality of the speakers…so stay tuned for more videos :) Thanks!
@Beth Thompson Hi Beth! We have uploaded a YouTube video that will be able to give you a better idea as to how strong the speakers are. We think they are pretty great!
@Beth Thompson Have uploaded the video, however it's important to note that this video will still only display the sound depending on how good your computer speakers are. Unfortunately we aren't able to replicate the exact experience, but you should be able to get an idea.
@Amy Bernstein
Great - thank you so much! That really helps!!
Boomz Audio, what an amazing little device.......but.....why no shipments to Canada?
Do we not deserve affordable,cutting edge audio technology north of the border?
Does the draconian shipping policy apply to all Daily Grommet products?
P.S Love the site!!
@ mike hart Hi Mike - thanks for the strong support for our site and Boomz Audio! Nope it's not a site-wide policy for Canada. Shipping varies from product to product based on the partner's shipping policies. Unfortunately this partner is not able to ship to Canada.

@ mike hart Hi Mike! Thanks for the comment! We would love to ship to Canada if we could, but unfortunately we have yet to jump through all of the international shipping barriers. However, I don't believe this restriction applies to all Grommet products. The shipping policies are as unique as the great products featured on the Daily Grommet.
Please redo the video introducing this product. There was no sampling of the sound quality of this item so I wouldn't purchase it even though it was something I have been looking for.
I LOVE The Daily Grommet and tell everyone about all the awesome helpful and interesting products on your site!
Thank you!
@Roberta Eldridge Hi Roberta,
We have uploaded a video which displays the sound of the speakers, however it's important to note that this video will still only display the sound depending on how good your computer speakers are. Unfortunately we aren't able to replicate the exact experience, but you should be able to get an idea.
I am a not teck savy Grandmother---Would this work with an IPOD?????
@ Lydia Faber It sure will! Just use the included 3.5mm auxilary line and you can hook it up to your iPod.
Are there any ratings or reviews on this product?
@ Rhonda Hammond Hi Rhonda! Here is a You Tube review of the speakers: http://youtu.be/24kHS520wq0
@ Rhonda Hammond Hi Rhonda, all of our Grommets go through a rigorous review process internally. Our entire team has reviewed and tested this product, ensuring it meets our high standard of quality.
Does this come with the required cable to hook up to a smartphone or Kindle Fire?
@Nancy Kopfhammer Hi Nancy, this does come with the two male ended audio cord to plug into your smartphone or tablet which allows you to hear the music. It is in the box with the charging cord and the instruction booklet. Thank you for your question.
ok, so how much is the SD card usually? And when you said it depends on the sound quality your computer puts out what does that mean? Can't you download music to the SD card and the quality would be based on the recorded music? Sorry, I want to get this but I'm not a technologically inclined human in any way! (can you tell??)
@ kim Hi Kim! An SD media card can cost anywhere from under $5 to over $150 depending on the capacity and speed. The more music it holds, the higher the price.
As for the sound quality comment, it's hard to replicate exactly how strong the speakers will be when you are listening over your computer, aka watching the YouTube video.
@ kim Hi Kim! Great questions! Yes you are right, the sound will depend on the quality of the music recorded, but it also depends on the output of your device. The output of our device can be measured by the quality of the sound your device creates. For example, if you have a computer from 1991 it may not create (or output) the same sound as a 2012 computer. As for SD Cards, you can find them at many different prices. The price will depend on how much memory you can store on the SD card and how fast the data writes (or copies) onto the card. But you don't need an SD card to use a Boomz Speaker, you can hook up your device directly to the Speaker. Hope that helps! Thanks!
The launch day conversation has ended. Please direct further questions about this Grommet to our Community Experience Team.

LONDON -- The Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival will open with the international premiere of Mike Cahill's "I Origins," which will be attended by the film's lead actor Michael Pitt, Cahill and actress Astrid Berges-Frisbey.
Pic enters on a young scientist whose work investigates the human eye. His research leads him to the discovery of surprising links between the human physiognomy and psyche, with implications bordering on the mystical.
The film garnered a great deal of attention at this year's Sundance film festival, where it won the Alfred P. Sloan prize for films focusing on science, and was picked up by Fox Searchlight for worldwide distribution.
The film marked out Cahill, who won the same prize at Sundance three years ago for "Another Earth," as a promising filmmaker to watch.
Pitt previously attended Karlovy Vary in 2005, when he presented Gus Van Sant's Last Days."
Pitt broke through in teen series "Dawson's Creek." In 2000, he appeared in Gus Van Sant's "Finding Forrester," and crime film "Murder by Numbers" two years later.
He took the lead role in Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers" in 2003, and appeared in M. Night Shyamalan's psychological thriller "The Village" in 2004, among other parts.
In 2005, Pitt renewed his collaboration with Van Sant in "Last Days," and played in Tom DiCillo's "Delirious" in 2006, which opened Karlovy Vary in 2007.
The romantic historical drama "Silk" in 2007 saw Pitt in the lead role alongside Keira Knightley. In the same year, Michael Haneke cast him in the U.S. version of "Funny Games."
Recent television appearances have included "Boardwalk Empire" and "Hannibal."
He is set to star in "Criminal Activities" alongside John Travolta.
Berges-Frisbey, who was born in Barcelona to a Catalan father and a French-American mother, has lived in Paris since her childhood. She began her acting career in 2007, followed by appearances in several French and Spanish films, such as Daniel Auteuil's "The Well-Digger's Daughter," and Xavier Villaverde's "The Sex of the Angels." She made her Hollywood debut as the mermaid Syrena in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" in 2011.

Update 11-26-10:
Tried again, left me w/pointy spider lashes and made my lashes itch like crazy by the end of the day. Boo! Back to diorshow my current ghost mascara.
Original review:
Not a bad mascara but definitely not my favorite. The first day I wore it I could barely tell I had mascara on. I curled my lashes first and applied it but my lashes went flat about halfway thru the day. When I went to take it off before bed I realized there was nothing left to take off :(
After reading the reviews that night I got the idea to try several coats of it to make it show up better and that has helped and it held a curl better but still not that impressive and definitely not worth the price. The big brush looks pretty cool and I dont really have a problem using it since Ive tried lots of mascaras before and have come across many with overly large wands. I think after I use this tube up I will go back to MAC's plush lash. It does what the name implies, costs almost half of this one and the only prob is that it is a mess to take off.

I might buy this again in the future. It definitly smudges way too much though. I love the brush and the consistancy of the mascara. When the mascara is freshly put on it looks great. Later on in the day...racoon :( I just wonder if it's a ploy to buy their she-laq too?????

This has been my go to mascara for several years and I really like it. I do wish it had longer staying power, but it doesnt smudge or run for me, just kind of loses its ooompf by the end of the day. It gives me long, thick, dramatic lashes without clumps or spider legs very similar to Dior Show or YSL but better in my opinion.

I have no problem with this mascara smudging on my eyes. Perhaps my lashes are so long (contributed to Talika) that the mascara stays as put. Can understand shorter lashes having a problem w/smudging as when you bat your lashes the product has nowhere to go. I've tried the Blue Bad Gal as well but not crazy about that one. I understand Benefit is introducing a Plum Bad Gal and that one I cannot wait to try. I'm in minority here but the Bad Gal works wonders for me. Gee, what does one have to do to prevent smudging? Don't know, except try an eyelash base? (EDIT: changing from 5 to 4 lippies as after using for a week or so the product seemed to clump IN the tube.)

I love the way Bad Gal Lash makes my lashes look super lush and thick, and very black. But I absolutely HATE how much it smudges! Crap, it doesn't even smudge, it literally melts off into streaks of black! It was ridiculous. I wore this once when I went bowling and got very sweaty. At the most, I expected a little smudging under my eye - but no, I had HUGE and VERY noticable black streaks under my eyes, like I had been crying.
Price - sort of expensive, but you get a whole lot more product than you usually do with mascaras. Also, love the packaging, but BeneFit never fails with that!
Overall...lasting power in a mascara is very important to me (if the mascara smudges, I will never, NEVER use it again. I hate smudging!), so this means that I won't be purchasing this again until the formula is changed!
EDIT// I've got long lashes, and they have no problem holding a curl if I use a lash curler beforehand (which I always do). No idea why it smudges...perhaps I have oily lids? So stay away from this mascara if you've got oily lids, or oily skin in general.

I absolutely adore this mascara! I received the mini as a gift and only used it once or twice and wasn't really impressed, but I recently revisited it and WOW. It just makes my lashes look so full and gorgeous! And they look natural, not spidery or clumpy. I personally have had no issues with smudging and I live in Florida. I just reordered another tube from Sephora. I never want to be without this mascara. It's the best I've tried in a very long time.

I too think this mascara could be great, but it smudges so badly that I just can't use it. I love the packaging. The brush wand is great and my eyelashes look great when freshly applied - but don't even think about blinking!!

This mascara would be absolutely amazing if it weren't for the fact that it smudges. The wand is a perfect size, application is easy, the mascara itself is the perfect consistency (not too dry, not too liquidy) and it really does work--upon application, my lashes look FABULOUS, full, long, perfectly separated...and I am definitely not blessed with good eyelashes naturally. However, a couple of hours into the day I look like I've been out all night, gotten wasted, and not washed off my eye makeup. Benefit, change your formula, your product is almost perfect!!!

People who live in humid/warm climates: Do Not Purchase. After an hour of applying (1 coat), a friend let me know that I had mascara all over my eye area. I couldn't believe it since this was not a cheap mascara. Even the $1.99 nonbrand mascara I bought at the discount store doesn't smudge like this. The only thing I like about the mascara was the wand because its huge and it coats and separates each lash but its useless if the mascara is going to smudge all over your face

And please don't try and tell me that fighting on the road isn't much tougher than always fighting at home because every statistic in the book will shoot down your argument before you've had a chance to finish your sentence. There's a reason why Ward was grinning like a Chesire cat when he was informed than Fat Goosen had managed to grant him his wish of having all his fights at home you know.
When Froch had home advantage against Bute, Pascal, and Dirrell the referee came from a neutral country, and the referee was from a neutral country when he fought abroad against Abraham and Kessler too. However, see if you can guess which country the ref came from every time he's fought over in the US? Ward has never, and I repeat NEVER, had a neutral ref during his tenure in the professional ranks. In fact, the ref has been a fellow American for every single one of his fights, which is a huge advantage for a fighter who is as dirty as he is and whose style is so reliant on utilizing excessive amounts of illegal holding to neutralize his opponent's offensive output. If you look at the records of Europe's top fighters you'll see that it's not uncommon at all for the referee to either A come from a neutral county when they have home advantage against a foreigner. In fact, it's fairly common for the ref to be American when they're fighting against American fighters too, including in big fights., whereas American fighters ALWAYS have American refs when fighting at home. And as you well know, it's a very rare occurrence for America's best fighters to travel abroad and put themselves at a major disadvantage like everyone else has to do, which means the deck is always stacked heavily in their favour all the time.. when they do they generally end up getting their asses kicked.Posted May 21, 2013 6:16 am
Ward might well be the No1 SMW…. but he never travelled to face the champion…. he never travelled outside the US in the super six, unlike Kessler, Froch, Abraham, Dirrell. Even Bute found his passport to travel and we all know what happened there… face of the matter is people will question Ward for his unfair advantage of only fighting in the US during the Super Six… whereas Champions travelled to face him… you can't have it both ways, where it's alright and expected for champions to travel to face him.. and now he's a champion he expects fighters to travel to face him. THE WORDS HYPOCRISY and HYPERCRITIC COME TO MIND!! No this is why some fight fans question Ward and view him in a poor light!!Posted May 21, 2013 5:55 am

All said & done Ward is the 100% #1 @ 168Lb & still holds the only belt that matters(RING MAGAZINE). The WBC promote there self's as a non profit making organization & then provide a Micky mouse belt for every fight they sanction. Well done Andre!Posted May 21, 2013 4:54 am
Its seems the WBC is simply on par to the IRS. I mean, how could Ward violate anything when he fought and defeated everyone put in front of him?Posted May 21, 2013 2:04 am
Ward is the best at 168 and at 175. You can complain all you want about home turf but he fought Froch in Atlanta I believe which is not home court advantage. They chose to fight Ward at home because they thought they could handle him which was farther from the truth. You do realize Ward was not favored at all to win the tournament. As a matter of fact Alfred the thrashing he gave Kessler he became the number one rated 167 pounder. And you don't hear Jessler or Froch mention his name. That's speaks volumes in its selfPosted May 21, 2013 12:50 am
Protected By USA Corruption, If you get the chance to fight at home or away which would you choose. You are crazy to think that Ward would freely give up his home field advantage because some butt hurt fan thinks he should. I'm sure when some one else hold all of the cards and Ward has to go to their home town to fight it will happen, but right now Ward is the big dog in the yard and all of the alfa males that want his postion must come to him. Get over it, that the way it is and the way it has always been. Trying to put him down for being smart how dumb are you.Posted May 20, 2013 10:26 pm
It's crazy how people make fun of Ward when he is the only Champion who would fight anybodyPosted May 20, 2013 9:42 pm
Ward, just keep doing your thing. A lot of us don't care about those belts.Posted May 20, 2013 8:30 pm
Ward beat both Kessler and Froch convincingly in the ring wtf does the geographical location got to do with it. I would understand if he got home decisions but these were clear UDs. You just a hater and an idiot.Posted May 20, 2013 8:28 pm

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The WBC has no obligation to hold your belt for you while you take a one-year recuperation for your injury. It's not about what you didn't or didn't do Mr. Ward, it's about what you can't do. Get over it. Earn your title back when you are ready.Posted May 20, 2013 8:18 pm
Protected By USA Corruption
A real champion goes out there and takes on the biggest challenges. He does not hide in his back yard, with his hometown ref and judges. He does not fake injuries and sook when his titles are taken away. Kessler and Froch sell out stadiums on their own. Ward can't sell out a 500 capacity church hall. When Ward beats the any Top 3 Super Middle away from home he will get more respect. He doesn't deserve any at the moment. His style is a boring billy goat butter and that's why no one watches him.Posted May 20, 2013 8:06 pm
A real Champion beats every opponent presented leaving no doubt who the better fighter is. Ward has done that. Why don't you ask Froch or Kessler to do that with Ward? Because you know they can't. Pathetic fanboys look for one scrap they feel they can criticize and cling to it bitterly. Then when that is gone that surely will find another scrap.Posted May 20, 2013 6:55 pm
Throw that worthless piece of in the bin. WBC bunch of mafiaso going around collecting protection money " sanctioning fees " from honest, hardworking folks.Posted May 20, 2013 6:49 pm
Congrats to Ward. The titles are only necessary if you are just coming up because they can take you to a different pay scale. The only belt Ward needs is the Ring Championship belt because he is the champion at 168. Congrats to Ward.Posted May 20, 2013 6:28 pm
Yeah nice one Ward, now go and get a passport and prove you are a real champion.Posted May 20, 2013 6:13 pm

As much as I hate Andre Ward, it's good to see someone speak out against corruption when they see it.

Congratulations to Ward for having character! The WBC is a disgrace and continues to sink to lower levels. All boxing fans must know that it's a matter of money and favoritism with the WBC. This is exactly the kind of behavior that is bad for boxing. Anyone with any backbone at all should throw away the worthless belt that the WBC has stolen from another boxer and gave to someone else.
Andre Ward is STILL and REMAINS the true super middleweight champion.Posted May 20, 2013 3:28 pm

Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE:ETP) and Sunoco, Inc. (NYSE:SUN) today announced the successful completion of the previously announced merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of ETP, with and into Sunoco, with Sunoco surviving the merger as a subsidiary of ETP.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Sunoco shareholders were able to receive, for each Sunoco common share they owned, a combination of $25.00 in cash and 0.5245 of an ETP common unit (the "Standard Mix of Consideration"). In lieu of receiving this Standard Mix of Consideration, Sunoco shareholders, for each Sunoco common share they owned, could make an election to receive $50.00 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") or 1.0490 ETP common units (the "Unit Consideration"), with such Cash Consideration and Unit Consideration subject to proration in accordance with the merger agreement. Because the Cash Consideration was oversubscribed, all holders making a cash election will have their Cash Consideration prorated and a portion of it will be substituted with ETP common units in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. Based on the final results of the merger consideration elections:
- holders of approximately 2.59% of outstanding Sunoco shares, or approximately 2,711,665 shares, elected to and will receive the Standard Mix of Consideration;
- holders of approximately 72.37% of outstanding Sunoco shares, or approximately 75,844,918 shares, elected the Cash Consideration and will receive $26.47 in cash and 0.493730 of an ETP common unit;
- holders of approximately 4.24% of outstanding Sunoco shares, or approximately 4,449,502 shares, elected to and will receive the Unit Consideration; and
- holders of approximately 20.80% of outstanding Sunoco shares, or approximately 21,801,776 shares, made no election, and will receive the Standard Mix of Consideration.
In the aggregate, Sunoco shareholders will receive 50% of the merger consideration in cash and 50% in ETP common units. The total consideration to be paid in cash will be approximately $2.6 billion and the total consideration to be paid in equity will be approximately 54,971,724 ETP common units.

Moroccan Swordfish Kebabs - Main Courses
Print version
Moroccan Swordfish Kebabs
The double marination (First dry, then wet) helps to drive the spice flavor into the fish
1 1/2 pounds swordfish steaks, cut 1-inch thick
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon orange zest (zest of about 2 oranges)
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (juice of about 1 large orange)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped parsley
orange wedges for garnish
1. Trim the swordfish, removing skin, gristle, and bone. Cut fish into 1-inch cubes (you should have about 20 cubes). Place in a medium bowl.
2. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon of the orange zest, paprika, cumin, 1 tablespoon of the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and a pinch of the black pepper. Mix well. Sprinkle mixture over swordfish cubes, tossing the fish as you sprinkle, making sure that the pieces of fish are evenly covered with the spice mixture. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours.
3. Whisk together well the orange juice, olive oil, remaining orange zest, and remaining garlic. Pour over swordfish, stirring to coat fish, and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
4. Prepare a moderately hot charcoal fire.
5. Remove swordfish pieces from marinade and dry well. Divide cubes among 4 skewers, about 5 cubes per skewer. Just before putting skewers on the grill, sprinkle swordfish with remaining salt and pepper.
6. Grill the swordfish kebabs over gray, ashy coals, turning, for about 10 minutes, or until the swordfish is medium-rare. Let sit for 5 minutes, remove from skewers, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately. Garnish the platter with the orange wedges.
Swing to another portion of the Mediterranean—the North African coast—for this swordfish-compatible blast of flavor. The double marination (first dry, then wet) helps to drive the spice flavor into the fish. Serves 4

Pokemon Emerald Version
Question from breehenson
How do i get past unseeable things?
Im trying to get to the Fortree Gym and there is something in my path and i dont know how to get rid of it. Please help.
4 years ago
Continue on to the next route (120 IIRC) . You will eventually activate a story event that will give you what you need to enter the Gym. Also once you do you will be able to find several other invisible objects on Rte 119 and Rte 120 if you search well enough
4 years ago
From fortree city head right and continue down the route and you will eventually meet Steven on the bridge he will say that there is something invisible and ask if you are ready. you will battle a kelcleon lv 30 and when you end the battle, he will give you a devon scope to see more invisible things
4 years ago
Go to route 120, on the bridge you will find Steven.Talk to him and he will ask if you are ready to battle, say yes (if your Pokemon is healthy) and a Kecleon will attack ether catch it or battle it (if you already have one battle it to gain Exp) after that Steven will give you a Devon Scope to get past unseeable Kecleon.

WESTPORT-In Matt Storey's own words, "Everything was quiet."
"We were ahead of the game," said Storey, director of Camp Dudley YMCA in Westport. "We have a big enrollment and a big waiting list, everything was lined up and planned for."
Then, Mother Nature made some noise.
During the height of the rain and runoff that lifted Lake Champlain to record levels in late April and early May, several landslides wreaked havoc on the Dudley campus, leaving three resident cabins unusable.
"There were two or three days of heavy rain, the ground was saturated and the south winds left the water beating on the shores hard," Storey said.
Now, the camp is working to create temporary housing for the campers.
"We have to build three temporary cabins," Storey said. "We are building the decks and the hardwood floors, and then we will create a canvas and wood structure."
Work has also begun on repairing the shoreline of Camp Dudley, with the help of Sheehan and Son's Excavating and J-Mar Construction Company.
"This has to be the biggest thing we have done," Trevor Sheehan, of Sheehan and Sons, said. "It really is an interesting project."
"They have been great to work with," Storey said about the partnership with Sheehan's and J-Mar. "This is a two-phase project, and the first phase is being done before camp starts, which is the shoreline stabilization where there has not been a slide."
So far, the two companies have placed over 600 tons of boulders and set them over about 500 feet of the lakeshore.
"The water is still high out here, and we have had a few weather delays," Jim Morse of J-Mar said. "The guys have been working hard when we can get out here to get everything done."
The work crews are finishing their third week of work on the project.

Bismarck du Plessis and Gurthro Steenkamp are two casualties from the Springboks' narrow 14-10 win over Scotland.
Du Plessis left the field after four minutes with what has been confirmed as a pulled hamstring while Steenkamp limped off late in the second period with a sprained ankle. Bok manager Arthob Petersen told keo.co.za both players will undergo further tests in the next 48 hours and their availability for the England Test will be made public on Monday.
Captain John Smit admitted Du Plessis's early departure affected the Boks' synergy in the set pieces. The injury saw Smit reverting to hooker with substitute Brian Mujati playing tighthead, and it also meant Smit throwing in at the lineout.
"It's not ideal to lose Fourie du Preez on Thursday and then lose Bismarck so early in the game," Smit told this website. "We spoke about getting some continuity going with myself at 3 but obviously we couldn't do that. I could also hardly see when I was throwing in the lineout [Smit took a knock to the head early in the game.]"
The Boks were drilled in the scrums with Scotland prop Euan Murray eventually taking the man of the match honours. This effort doesn't bode well for England next week, and should Du Plessis and Steenkamp fail to recover the Boks will start with a different front row combination at Twickenham.
If Du Plessis fails a fitness test, it will be interesting to see whether De Villiers persists with Smit at tighthead and gives young Bulls hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle a start against England. Another option is to retain the front row that played after Du Plessis pulled his hamstring in Edinburgh.

The wind and the rain arrived Friday at Pebble Beach, perhaps a prelude to a nasty weekend. Leave it to a pair of Texans — Jimmy Walker and Jordan Spieth — to thrive in Crosby Clambake conditions at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Walker made some tough par saves and wound up bogey-free at Spyglass Hill with a 3-under 69. Spieth was down the coast at Monterey Peninsula, where he called the birdie on his final hole the best of his life. He's only 20, but it was a proud moment.
They were tied for the lead going into the third round, one shot to par ahead of former Orange resident Hunter Mahan.
The slight advantage would go to Walker, who was at 9-under 135. Already a two-time winner this season, Walker next plats Monterey Peninsula, the easiest of the three courses in the rotation. Spieth was at 9-under 134 and headed to Pebble Beach, which can be brutal in nasty weather.
And the forecast for Saturday was not particularly pleasant.
Along with a three-club wind on the exposed sections of all three courses, steady rain began coming down sideways toward the end of the second round. There was about a 75 percent chance for more rain Saturday.
Spieth was happy to at least get Spyglass out of the way, having opened with a 67 on Thursday. That didn't make the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula a picnic.
"Today was very difficult," Spieth said. "We started out in the rain and wind, and we finished in rainier and windier."
Spieth caught Walker for a share of the lead on the 187-yard ninth hole, which typically requires a 6-iron. He watched Kevin Chappell hit first with a 3-iron, and the ball rolled back down off the front of the green. Spieth doesn't carry a 3-iron.
"I went to a hybrid," he said. "And I just kind of hit a little stinger cut about 20 feet away. And then it was normally a straight putt and Michael (Greller) and I, my caddie, are looking at each other saying, `Well, we've got to play this about a foot out to the right with the wind.' And so I hit it a foot out. With about 3 feet to go, the wind just blew it right, just broke perfectly right into the hole."
Walker's best holes were his pars, particularly the par-5 14th. His 8-iron came back down into a bunker, leaving him such an awkward lie that he had to plant his feet outside the sand. With a shallow swing, he did well to blast out 12 feet away, and he made the par putt.
"That was pretty big to keep it feeling like things were still in my favor," Walker said.
He made two long birdie putts, and then hit a drive of nearly 390 yards on the seventh hole — with the aid of a cart path. It left him only an 8-iron to the green, and he had an easy up-and-down for his final birdie.
Mahan had a 68 at Spyglass Hill, with half of his six birdies on the par 5s. He was at 8-under 136.
Phil Mickelson finished off his 66 at Monterey on Friday morning, and then got an early indication at Pebble Beach that this might be a long day. He three-putted from 5 feet above the hole on the par-5 second for a double bogey. Mickelson holed some good birdies, but missed plenty of short ones. He switched from a conventional grip to the claw during his round, searching for answers. A three-putt bogey on the 18th at Pebble gave him a 73. He was at 4-under 139, still very much in the game.

An 18-year-old Palestinian man was indicted for allegedly leaving a bomb on a Tel Aviv bus that left more than 20 Israelis wounded when it detonated.
Mohammed Mafarja was charged Wednesday in Tel Aviv District Court with planting the bomb on the No. 142 bus in central Tel Aviv that was detonated on Nov. 21 during Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense. The indictment says he planted the bomb on behalf of Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip, in order to help them during the conflict.
Mafarja allegedly informed other members of a terrorist cell supporting Hamas when the bomb was planted and got off the bus. It was then detonated using a mobile phone, as it passed near the central army base called the Kirya.
The teen has Israeli citizenship as part of a Palestinian family unification program and worked in the city of Modi'in. Three other members of the terror cell, all from the West Bank, were arrested in connection with the attack.
The indictment charges Mafarja with assisting the enemy, attempted murder, conspiring to commit crimes, detonating explosive devices causing severe damage, carrying and conveying a weapon or explosive device and assisting an illegal organization.
No trial date has been set.
Mafarja's attorney told reporters that his client did not know that the bomb would cause such destruction.

AUBURN, Wash. - In the hallways of Auburn Mountainview High School, there is no in crowd, at least not to Landon Gallion and Kelsie Marr. The two special needs studentssee everyone as a friend, happily handing out high fives and hugs to anyone who passes by.
They always have a smile on their face, said classmate Sam Brown. Landon and Kelsie have always been great friends to all of us here at Mountainview.
So a few students like Brown decided to give the pair an honor befitting their inspiring personalities. They got Landon and Kelsie nominated for homecoming king and queen.
It really made me feel good, said Kelsie. It made me feel how popular I am.
Being nominated for kingand queen was honor enough for the two seniors, but then their classmates mounted a campaign to see if the two could actually win.
We just sent out the text messages to everybody we know saying vote for Landon and Kelsie and passed it along, said Sam Brown.
So, there they were at halftime of last weekend's big football game-- Landon and Kelsie - right alongside the cheerleaders and football players in the homecoming court. But would today's teens, so maligned for being shallow and self absorbed, really crown this unlikely pair homecoming royalty?
Landon says he wasn't nervous. His mom, Pam,was a different story. I was shaking so much I couldn't even take pictures, she said.
In the end, the seniors of Auburn Mountainview High School overwhelmingly voted the unlikely couple as homecoming king and queen.It was atriumphant coronation for the couple andcrowning moment for Mountainview High.
I think it'll be a memory that will last forever ... for all of us, said Pam Gallion.
I guess good things just happen to good people, said Sam Brown.

Billingsley sells major apartment community in Far North Dallas
Developer Billingsley Co. has sold one of its apartment communities.
Billingsley sold the 535-unit Gramercy on the Park apartments in Far North Dallas to CBRE Global Investors.
The mid-rise rental community is located at the southeast corner of Bush Turnpike and the Dallas North Tollway.
Completed in 2011, the project is 94 percent leased.
The new owners plan to make interior upgrades to the rental units.
Apartments in the project now average more than $1,200 a month in rent.
"North Dallas, which is experiencing numerous corporate relocations, is forecasted to be one of the top-performing markets in terms of apartment demand over the forecast period and is a target market for us," said Steve Gullo, managing director, of Los Angeles-based CBRE Global Investors Multi-Housing Group.
HFF marketed the property for sale.
"The strong investor demand for apartments prompted us to offer the property for sale," said Kimberly Meyer, Billingsley Company CFO. "The current multifamily market is a great one to sell into right now."
