So there you have it: the five greatest volleyed goals of the 21st century.
The goals you just read about made the list not just because of the sheer ferocity with which they were struck or the extent to which they nearly tore a hole in the back of the net; they were each selected based on their importance in terms of matches or trophies won.
I trust that a topic like this will divide many opinions, and cause a lot of disagreements. If so, please feel free to have a say!
Picking just five out of so many goals scored was not an easy task at all, and many great goals were left out as I chopped the list down to five.
Please feel free to suggest goals that you think I have unfairly left out of this list. Some of the ones I considered are:
Maxi Rodriguez vs Mexico
Thierry Henry vs Manchester United
Arjen Robben vs Man United
Paul Scholes vs Aston Villa
Wayne Rooney vs Newcastle
Robin van Persie vs Aston Villa
Robin van Persie vs Everton
Robin van Persie vs Charlton Athletic
Joe Cole vs Sweden
Fernando Torres vs Balckburn
Steven Gerrard vs Middlesborough
Papiss Cisse vs Chelsea

Dog Days? More Like A Persian Cat!August 5th, 2013 at 8:22 am by Jeremy Wheeler under Weather
Hello! These are supposed to be the "dog days of Summer". However, yesterday and today will be more like…well, as it says in the title, a little kitty. I mean not only is it relatively cool, but it is also very dry for this time of year. This all started on Saturday. A big cold front moved through a little sooner than forecast, so the storms did too (evening vs. afternoon). Then on Sunday we cleared out and dried out nicely behind the front. High pressure built in and gave us some great weather. Today the high pressure area has settled in even more.
Dew points have dropped to the upper 50s to low 60s. Typically this time of year the dew points are in the 70s solid.
Even with all of this sunshine, high temperatures are expected to stay in the low 80s. This will be partially due to a nice northeast breeze. Temperatures will warm up tomorrow though, and humidity will return along with more southerly winds. The average high temperature is 87 degrees for this time of year. We'll slowly increase towards that average over the next couple of days. Overnight lows will be in the 60s tonight. So that is a double bonus. Tomorrow we also have a chance for a few showers and storms. It looks like another wet period from Thursday through Saturday. I've left out the rain chances for next Sunday. Hopefully, the next system will clear the area by then. Enjoy the weather today!

Epilepsy Bracelet
Epilepsy is the 4th most common neurological problem, following migraine, strokes and Alzheimer's, and an estimated 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy at sometime during their life. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, when signals sent by the brain cells become disturbed or abnormal, resulting in seizures. Epilepsy occurs most often in early childhood or over the age of 60, but can develop at any stage of life.
Understanding the risk factors, symptoms and preventative measures and treatments are critically important to minimize seizures and complications. For someone with epilepsy, carrying important medical information on an epilepsy bracelet at all times is key to helping others provide assistance. Custom engraved epilepsy bracelets from N-Style ID can speak for epilepsy patients who are unable to speak for themselves, especially in cases where severe seizures cause disorientation or unconscious, and can help get the medical attention needed in a timely manner. Epilepsy jewelry is particularly important for young children, who may not understand their own condition or may be unable to communicate their needs to an adult in the event of an emergency.
N-Style ID's huge selection of stylish epilepsy bracelets, necklaces, and medical ID tags offer an easy way to prepare those who suffer from epilepsy for an emergency wherever they go. Medical personnel are trained to look for critical information, like that found on an epilepsy bracelet, when they arrive on the scene to quickly inform them of an individual's condition, medications, allergies and more. We offer fashionable styles to suit men and women, children and adults, and all personalities, so that you can feel confident knowing you and the ones you love are prepared for an emergency at all times.
Understanding the Causes of Epilepsy
Nearly half of all epilepsy cases have no identifiable cause, however, there are a number of factors that can lead to the disorder or increase its likelihood.
- Genetics – Family history may increase the likelihood of someone developing epilepsy.
- Head Injuries and Conditions – Brain tumors, strokes, and traumatic injury to the head can lead to epilepsy.
- Diseases – Viral encephalitis, meningitis and other infectious diseases can sometimes cause epilepsy.
- Prenatal Condition – Brain damage caused by a variety of factors during pregnancy can sometimes result in an epileptic condition.
- Age – Individuals above the age of 60 and young children are at the highest risk.
- Stroke/Vascular Diseases – Some vascular diseases and strokes can damage the brain leading to epilepsy.
- Dementia – In older adults, dementia can increase the risk of epilepsy.
- Childhood Conditions – High fevers and other medical condition can occasionally be a contributing risk factor.
Taking proactive and early steps to reduce risk factors and prepare for seizures are important ways to lead a fulfilling life with epilepsy. By wearing a custom engraved epilepsy bracelet, complete with vital instructions, medications and emergency contacts, you can help prepare yourself and those you care for in the event of an emergency. From fashionable stainless steel and gold epilepsy bracelets for adults to colorful, ultra light and jelly epilepsy jewelry for children, N-Style ID will help prepare you for living with epilepsy, while looking stylish wherever you go.

How much has Whisenhunt been fined for the pathetic offensive product on the field? Is he assessing a fine to both the QB coach and the offensive coordinator? A fine would be lenient - they should be fired! I never thought Skelton was a NFL QB talent, but after Seattle he'll need professional counselling. Dockett, as well as the rest of the defense, and the viewing audience too, realized what Whisenhunt must be in denial over - the offense wasn't going to score. And they haven't scored since then.
Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 12/7/12
According to multiple media reports, the Cardinals fined defensive lineman Darnell Dockett a "six-figure" amount Friday for conduct detrimental to the team. XTRA 910 AM radio host Mike Jurecki first reported the fine According to NFL.com's Albert Breer, the amount of the fine was 200,000. The NFL.com report also states that the NFL Players Association has already begun the process of filing an appeal over the fine, which was related to an incident that occurred late in the Cardinals' loss the Jets on Sunday. While the specifics are still unclear, the Cardinals coaching staff directed the defense to let the Jets score in the final seconds of a 7-6 game, giving the Cards a chance to get the ball back and potentially tie the score with a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Dockett refused and reportedly spit at teammate Kerry Rhodes in the huddle, something both Dockett and Rhodes later denied. Dockett, however, issued an apology on Wednesday, saying the following: Me and Kerry ...

Drinking…coffee. I always enjoy my morning coffee, but this morning I was truly thankful for my morning coffee.
Thankful…for the encouraging reception Out of the Ordinary has enjoyed. Today is my turn to post, and I'm talking about When Trials Come.
Thinking…about prayer and the Immutability of God. I will continue the series on God's Immutability tomorrow (God willing). (I posted Part 1 and Part 2 last week.)
Reading…The Cry of the Soul: How Our Emotions Reveal Our Deepest Questions About God. I can't say I agree with all of the authors' points, but this book has got me thinking. There's thinking hard, and then there's the feeling that smoke is going to start pouring out of the back of your head. THAT'S how compelling some of their points are.
Also reading…a review copy of The Fruitful Wife by Hayley DiMarco.
Excited…about going through Joy! – A Bible Study on Philippians for Women with a few other women.
Ready…for the election to be over already. As Thabiti Anyabwile said, "Honestly, I'll be quite happy when the next president is elected and we can get on with either our disillusionment or our unfounded optimism." My sentiments exactly!
Thankful…the God will still be on his throne on November 7th, regardless of who the winner is.

Comments about this product:
Arguably the best crime drama thriller of the 70s. Superbly written, taut drama, superbly acted by Matthau and the rest of the cast. Fine direction by Ron Siegel. So engaging! So entertaining! This has it all. Largely forgotten these days, this movie needs to be resuscitated and reintroduced to younger generations of film enthusiasts. I highly recommend it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Just Another Man"
He looks in the mirror every morning and night,
Does he see what I see, it would be nice if he might.
He sees a rude man as he stands there,
I see someone who needs someone to care.
He sees a mean man, because he has to be tough,
I see someone who deals with more than enough.
He sees how he tries not to cry and feels he has no heart,
I see someone who has to keep his feelings and work apart.
He sees a murderer because he shot someone last night,
I see someone who saved someone else from a fight.
He sees a failure because he did not arrive in time
I see someone who did his best and needs peace of mind.
He sees just another man as he enters the day,
I see a special man who does his best in every way.
For all the years, he has put on the uniform of blue,
He has never realized how much he protects me and you.
But, as he starts the day again, I just wish he could see,
What he really is and how much he means to you and me.

A unicorn (from Latin unus 'one' and cornu 'horn') is a mythological creature. Though the modern popular image of the unicorn is sometimes that of a horse differing only in the horn on its forehead, the traditional unicorn also has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hooves—these distinguish it from a horse. Marianna Mayer has observed (The Unicorn and the Lake), "The unicorn is the only fabulous beast that does not seem to have been conceived out of human fears. In even the earliest references he is fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, but always mysteriously beautiful. He could be captured only by unfair means, and his single horn was said to neutralize poison."
An animal called the Re'em (רְאֵם) is mentioned in several places in the Hebrew Bible, often as a metaphor representing strength. "The allusions to the re'em as a wild, un-tamable animal of great strength and agility, with mighty horn or horns (, , , , comp. ), best fit the aurochs (Bos primigenius). This view is supported by the Assyrian rimu, which is often used as a metaphor of strength, and is depicted as a powerful, fierce, wild mountain bull with large horns. This animal was often depicted in ancient Mesopotamian art in profile, with only one horn visible. The translators of the Authorized King James Version of the Bible (1611) employed unicorn to translate re'em, providing a recognizable animal that was proverbial for its un-tamable nature.
Unicorns are not found in Greek mythology, but rather in accounts of natural history, for Greek writers of natural history were convinced of the reality of the unicorn, which they located in India, a distant and fabulous realm for them. The earliest description is from Ctesias who described them as wild asses, fleet of foot, having a horn a cubit and a half in length and colored white, red and black. Aristotle must be following Ctesias when he mentions two one-horned animals, the oryx (a kind of antelope) and the so-called "Indian ass". Strabo says that in the Caucasus there were one-horned horses with stag-like heads. Pliny the Elder mentions the oryx and an Indian ox (perhaps a rhinoceros) as one-horned beasts, as well as "a very fierce animal called the monoceros which has the head of the stag, the feet of the elephant, and the tail of the boar, while the rest of the body is like that of the horse; it makes a deep lowing noise, and has a single black horn, which projects from the middle of its forehead, two cubits in length. In De natura animalium, Aelian, quoting Ctesias, adds that India produces also a one-horned horse (iii. 41; iv. 52), and says (xvi. 20) that the monoceros was sometimes called cartazonon, which may be a form of the Arabic karkadann, meaning "rhinoceros".
Though the qilin a creature in Chinese mythology, is sometimes called "the Chinese unicorn", it is a hybrid animal that looks less unicorn than chimera, with the body of a deer, the head of a lion, green scales and a long forwardly-curved horn. The Japanese version (kirin) more closely resembles the Western unicorn, even though it is based on the Chinese qilin. The Quẻ Ly of Vietnamese myth, similarly sometimes mistranslated "unicorn" is a symbol of wealth and prosperity that made its first appearance during the Duong Dynasty, about 600 CE, to Emperor Duong Cao To, after a military victory which resulted in his conquest of Tây Nguyên.
Medieval knowledge of the fabulous beast stemmed from biblical and ancient sources, and the creature was variously represented as a kind of wild ass, goat, or horse.
The predecessor of the medieval bestiary, compiled in Late Antiquity and known as Physiologus, popularized an elaborate allegory in which a unicorn, trapped by a maiden (representing the Virgin Mary), stood for the Incarnation. As soon as the unicorn sees her, it lays its head on her lap and falls asleep. This became a basic emblematic tag that underlies medieval notions of the unicorn, justifying its appearance in every form of religious art. The two major interpretations of the unicorn symbol hinge on pagan and Catholic symbolism. The pagan interpretation focuses on the medieval lore of beguiled lovers, whereas some Catholic writings interpret the unicorn and its death as the Passion of Christ. The unicorn has long been identified as a symbol of Christ by Catholic writers, allowing the traditionally pagan symbolism of the unicorn to become acceptable within religious doctrine. The original myths refer to a beast with one horn that can only be tamed by a virgin maiden; subsequently, some Catholic scholars translated this into an allegory for Christ's relationship with the Virgin Mary. Interestingly enough, the collective term for a grouping of unicorns is "a blessing of unicorns".
The unicorn also figured in courtly terms: for some 13th century French authors such as Thibaut of Champagne and Richard de Fournival, the lover is attracted to his lady as the unicorn is to the virgin. With the rise of humanism, the unicorn also acquired more orthodox secular meanings, emblematic of chaste love and faithful marriage. It plays this role in Petrarch's Triumph of Chastity.
The royal throne of Denmark was made of "unicorn horns". The same material was used for ceremonial cups because the unicorn's horn continued to be believed to neutralize poison, following classical authors.
The unicorn, tamable only by a virgin woman, was well established in medieval lore by the time Marco Polo described them as:
It is clear that Marco Polo was describing a rhinoceros. In German, since the 16th century, Einhorn ("one-horn") has become a descriptor of the various species of rhinoceros.
The ancient Norwegians were said to believe the narwhal to have affirmed the existence of the unicorn. The unicorn horn was believed to stem from the narwhal tooth, which grows outward and projects from its upper jaw.
In popular belief, examined wittily and at length in the seventeenth century by Sir Thomas Browne in his Pseudodoxia Epidemica, unicorn horns could neutralize poisons. Therefore, people who feared poisoning sometimes drank from goblets made of "unicorn horn". Alleged aphrodisiac qualities and other purported medicinal virtues also drove up the cost of "unicorn" products such as milk, hide, and offal. Unicorns were also said to be able to determine whether or not a woman was a virgin; in some tales, they could only be mounted by virgins.
One traditional method of hunting unicorns involved entrapment by a virgin.
In one of his notebooks Leonardo da Vinci wrote:
The famous late Gothic series of seven tapestry hangings, The Hunt of the Unicorn are a high point in European tapestry manufacture, combining both secular and religious themes. The tapestries now hang in the Cloisters division of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In the series, richly dressed noblemen, accompanied by huntsmen and hounds, pursue a unicorn against mille-fleur backgrounds or settings of buildings and gardens. They bring the animal to bay with the help of a maiden who traps it with her charms, appear to kill it, and bring it back to a castle; in the last and most famous panel, "The Unicorn in Captivity," the unicorn is shown alive again and happy, chained to a pomegranate tree surrounded by a fence, in a field of flowers. Scholars conjecture that the red stains on its flanks are not blood but rather the juice from pomegranates, which were a symbol of fertility. However, the true meaning of the mysterious resurrected Unicorn in the last panel is unclear. The series was woven about 1500 in the Low Countries, probably Brussels or Liège, for an unknown patron. A set of six engravings on the same theme, treated rather differently, were engraved by the French artist Jean Duvet in the 1540s.
Another famous set of six tapestries of Dame à la licorne ("Lady with the unicorn") in the Musée de Cluny, Paris, were also woven in the Southern Netherlands before 1500, and show the five senses (the gateways to temptation) and finally Love ("A mon seul desir" the legend reads), with unicorns featured in each piece.
Facsimiles of the unicorn tapestries are currently being woven for permanent display in Stirling Castle, Scotland, to take the place of a set recorded in the castle in the 16th century.
In heraldry, a unicorn is depicted as a horse with a goat's cloven hooves and beard, a lion's tail, and a slender, spiral horn on its forehead. Whether because it was an emblem of the Incarnation or of the fearsome animal passions of raw nature, the unicorn was not widely used in early heraldry, but became popular from the 15th century. Though sometimes shown collared, which may perhaps be taken in some cases as an indication that it has been tamed or tempered, it is more usually shown collared with a broken chain attached, showing that it has broken free from its bondage and cannot be taken again.
It is probably best known from the royal coat of arms of Scotland and the United Kingdom: two unicorns support the Scottish arms; a lion and a unicorn support the UK arms. The arms of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in London has two golden unicorn supporters (although, as emblazoned on its homepage, they have horses', not lions', tails).
Among numerous finds of prehistoric bones found at Einhornhöhle (Unicorn Cave) in Germany's Harz Mountains, some were selected and reconstructed by the mayor of Magdeburg, Otto Von Guericke, as a unicorn in 1663 (illustration, right). Guericke's so-called unicorn had only two legs, and was constructed from fossil bones of a Woolly rhinoceros and a mammoth, with the horn of a narwhal. The skeleton was examined by Gottfried Leibniz, who had previously doubted the existence of the unicorn, but was convinced by it.
Baron Georges Cuvier maintained that as the unicorn was cloven-hoofed it must therefore have a cloven skull (making the growth of a single horn impossible); to disprove this, Dr. W. Franklin Dove, a University of Maine professor, artificially fused the horn buds of a calf together, creating a one-horned bull.
P. T. Barnum once exhibited a unicorn skeleton, which was exposed as a hoax.
Since the rhinoceros is the only known extant land animal to possess a single horn, it has often been supposed that the unicorn legend originated from encounters between Europeans and rhinoceroses. The Woolly Rhinoceros would have been quite familiar to ice age people, or the legend may have been based on the rhinoceroses of Africa. Europeans and West Asians have visited Sub-Saharan Africa for as long as we have records.
This seal is a close-up of the unicorn-like animal found in Mohenjo-daro, measures 29mm (1.14 inches) on each side and is made of heated Steatite. "Steatite is an easily carved soft stone that becomes hard after firing. On the top are four pictographs of an as yet undeciphered Indus script, one of the first writing systems in history." Image source Dept. of Archaeology and Museums, Govt. of Pakistan.(Image : A Harappa Unicorn.)
One suggestion is that the unicorn is based on the extinct animal Elasmotherium, a huge Eurasian rhinoceros native to the steppes, south of the range of the woolly rhinoceros of Ice Age Europe. Elasmotherium looked little like a horse, but it had a large single horn in its forehead. It became extinct about the same time as the rest of the glacial age megafauna.
However, according to the Nordisk familjebok (Nordic Familybook) and science writer Willy Ley the animal may have survived long enough to be remembered in the legends of the Evenk people of Russia as a huge black bull with a single horn in the forehead.
In support of this claim, it has been noted that the 13th century traveller Marco Polo claimed to have seen a unicorn in Java, but his description makes it clear to the modern reader that he actually saw a Javan Rhinoceros. Perhaps additional supporting evidence can be found in the fact that a rhinoceros' horn reacts with alkaloids by turning a different color. A majority of the medieval poisons were made from alkaloids, which coincides with the myth that unicorn horns change color when a poison is placed within them.
In the domestic goat, a rare deformity of the generative tissues can cause the horns to be joined together; such an animal could be another possible inspiration for the legend. Antiquities researcher Timothy Zell also produced artificial unicorns dubbed "the Living Unicorn", remodelling the "horn buds" of goat kids in such a way that their horns grew together into a single one. Zell theorized that this process might have been used in the past to create court curiosities and natural herd leaders, because the goat was able to use this long straight horn effectively as a weapon and a tool. Medieval art often depicts unicorns as small, with cloven hooves and beards, sometimes resembling goats more than horses with horns. This process is possible only with animals that naturally have horns. For a time, a few of these unicorns travelled with the Ringling Brothers Circus.
The unicorn horns often found in cabinets of curiosities and other contexts in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, were very often examples of the distinctive straight spiral single tusk of the narwhal whale (Monodon monoceros), an Arctic cetacean, as Danish zoologist Ole Worm established in 1638. They were brought south as a very valuable trade, and sold as horns from the legendary unicorn; being of ivory, they passed the various tests intended to spot fake unicorn horns. As these 'horns' were considered to have magic powers, Vikings and other northern traders were able to sell them for many times their weight in gold. Elizabeth I of England kept a "unicorn horn" in her cabinet of curiosities, brought back by Arctic explorer Martin Frobisher on his return from Labrador in 1577. The usual depiction of the spiral unicorn horn in art, derives from these. The truth of the tusk's origin developed gradually during the Age of Exploration, as explorers and naturalists began to visit regions themselves. In 1555, Olaus Magnus published a drawing of a fish-like creature with a "horn" on its forehead.
The oryx is an antelope with two long, thin horns projecting from its forehead. Some have suggested that seen from the side and from a distance, the oryx looks something like a horse with a single horn (although the 'horn' projects backward, not forward as in the classic unicorn). Conceivably, travellers in Arabia could have derived the tale of the unicorn from these animals. However, classical authors seem to distinguish clearly between oryxes and unicorns. The Peregrinatio in terram sanctam, published in 1486, was the first printed illustrated travel-book, describing a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and thence to Egypt by way of Mount Sinai. It featured many large woodcuts by Erhard Reuwich, who went on the trip, mostly detailed and accurate views of cities. The book also contained pictures of animals seen on the journey, including a crocodile, camel, and unicorn - presumably an oryx, which they could easily have seen on their route.
In Southern Africa the eland has somewhat mystical or spiritual connotations, perhaps at least partly because this very large antelope will defend itself against lions, and is able to kill these fearsome predators. Eland are very frequently depicted in the rock art of the region, which implies that they were viewed as having a strong connection to the other world, and in several languages the word for eland and for dance is the same; significant because shamans used dance as their means of drawing power from the other world. Eland fat was used when mixing the pigments for these pictographs, and in the preparation of many medicines.
This special regard for the eland may well have been picked up by early travellers. In the area of Cape Town one horned eland are known to occur naturally, perhaps as the result of a recessive gene, and were noted in the diary of an early governor of the Cape. There is also a purported unicorn horn in the castle of the chief of the Clan MacLeod in Scotland, which has been identified as that of an eland.
This unicorn found in Prato, Tuscany is one of the most concrete living evidence of the legendary unicorn: notice that roe deer have also cloven hooves, like traditional representations. Maybe there were in the past similar morphological anomalies like a single-horn deer or a different animal that has been seen from a certain distance.
According to Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Science in Prato, "this single-horn deer is conscious to its uniqueness and does not come out a lot, always hiding."

Read: Hebrews 12:3-11
No chastening seems to be joyful for the present . . . ; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness. Hebrews 12:11
Of all my childhood memories, one stands out above the others. While I have no idea what my teacher said, I clearly remember telling her to shut up. She sent me home, so I got up and left my kindergarten class to walk the half-block home. Walking down the sidewalk, I saw my mother weeding in the garden behind our house. I was now faced with a strategic decisioncontinue on my way and tell my mother why I was home early from school, or turn around and go back to face my teacher.
When I returned to the classroom, I was immediately escorted to the restroom where my teacher washed my mouth out with soap. That kind of discipline probably wouldnt happen today, but take it from me, it was effective! To this day I am acutely sensitive about the impact of my words.
God is passionately interested in our positive growth as His children. At times He needs to confront us with unpleasant circumstances to catch our attention and reorient our lives to more consistently produce the peaceable fruit of righteousness (Heb. 12:11).
Dont resist Gods corrective hand. Respond to His reproofs with thankfulness that He loves you enough to care about what kind of a person you are becoming.
Because our Fathers heart is grieved
Each time we go astray,
He lifts His chastening hand in love
To help us to His way. D. De Haan
Gods correction is our hope for a better life.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"

Driving Impression
On The Street
About once every 10 years, someone comes up with a breakthrough part in the aftermarket. The Heidts bolt-in independent rear suspension could be that part for 2011 and beyond. Inboard disc brakes, and improved dynamics and ride quality-it won't be an inexpensive upgrade (it retails for $6,500 and is available for '67-69 and '70-73 Camaros), but its gonna be one a lot of Chevy enthusiasts will crave.
As you'd expect, the Heidts Camaro was one of the top two finishers in the ride evaluations. It soaked up the rough stuff like no previous second-gen Camaro I'd ever driven. Even the railroad crossing in our test failed to upset it. It's like the tracks weren't even there.
The IRS is said to be able to handle up to 600 hp and our test car was right at that limit thanks to its LS V-8 with a 2300 TVS Magnuson blower. Even in Third gear, the massive NT05s were no match for the car's prodigious torque. They painted two very impressive, very even, black stripes on the pavement.
The steering was light, perhaps a little too much so, but it was quite linear. The car went exactly where you directed it.
Where the Heidts Camaro fell short was in the brake department (the setup had no pedal travel and was unnerving on the street) and clutch travel. Once you were going, it shifted "like butta," but it was quite disagreeable trying to get the car moving.
It was so weird looking through the rear wheels and not seeing rotors, but that was the first tip off that you had a high-tech machine in your possession. The second was driving it. The only faults we could find with this F-body had nothing to do with the Heidts pieces attached to it. Nice job. - Jim Campisano

San Diego Chargers – 2014 Tickets and Preview
San Diego Chargers tickets will be carrying high expectations into the 2014 NFL season. The Chargers seem to be on the rebound under new head coach Mike McCoy, who led San Diego into the playoffs for the first time in four seasons, in only his first year at the helm. Between McCoy and new GM Tom Telesco. The San Diego Chargers are ready to challenge the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West.
Philip Rivers has returned to prominence in the new offensive system, which relies on quick passes and reads. The presence of Keenan Allen has been a major boon to Rivers. Allen burst on to the scene in 2013 and never released a starting position, catching 71 passes for eight touchdowns, second on the team behind Antonio Gates. The Chargers are hopeful they can put a third dangerous receiver on the field with Malcolm Floyd coming back from injury. Ryan Mathews also took a step forward last season, totaling 1,255 yards and providing a reliable running game to counter the passing of Rivers.
Chargers ticket holders loved their offense but groaned when the defense was on the field. San Diego was picked apart by good quarterbacks, as their secondary simply wasn't up to par. So, the Chargers went to the draft, taking cornerback Jason Verrett with their first pick. Verrett will join Steve Williams to give the team a young but talented secondary. Manti Te'o got a lot of attention last season, responding with a late season surge as he gained experience and confidence. On the line, the Chargers are hoping Dwight Freeney can pull another solid season out of his aging body.
To put it bluntly, the San Diego Chargers 2014 schedule is simply brutal. Within the AFC West there are home and away games with Denver and Kansas City. The Chargers also must play the NFC West with the Seahawks, 49ers, and Cardinals. There's also a date with the New England Patriots. If the San Diego Chargers get through the 2014 NFL season with a record of 9-7 or better, there may be no stopping them in the postseason.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
CHARLOTTE, N.C - The crowd in front of Dale Earnhardt Jr. stretched five deep, everyone straining to hear the season goals of NASCAR's most popular driver.Across the room, his championship-winning teammates politely chatted with a more intimate crowd, neither surprised at their small turnouts. "Well, Junior's in the house, you know?" laughed four-time series champion Jeff Gordon. The hype surrounding Earnhardt's move to Hendrick Motorsports is in high gear and only figures to grow when he takes his new ride down South later this week to prepare for the season-opening Daytona 500. NASCAR's biggest star will make his debut with NASCAR's best team, and the pressure is on everyone to make sure it's a resounding success. Considered by some to be an overrated driver who inherited his late father's passionate fan base, Earnhardt knows he has an opportunity to prove his talent level warrants his superstar status. After assembling NASCAR's version of a "Murderer's Row" lineup of drivers, owner Rick Hendrick understands the difficulties ahead in ensuring all four of his teams will contend for wins now that Earnhardt is in the mix. Even NASCAR, which has pushed forward despite sagging television ratings and declining attendance, recognizes the importance in Earnhardt finding success with Hendrick. It's documented that when Earnhardt is in the mix, ratings spike. When he's out of contention, his ardent fan base often tunes out. NASCAR chairman Brian France believes his sport is no different from any other in that it banks on its stars to help raise interest. "He's the marquee driver that we have - no different than a marquee franchise that other sports enjoy," France said. "So when historically important teams like the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA do well, conversely the NBA does better. "We're no different than that. If Dale Jr. has a big year, that will help. I don't think anybody wants to have success any more than he does. If he does, it will benefit us." As if the pressure wasn't already mounting, Earnhardt now has the burden of saving the sport. He doesn't seem to mind. After nine sometimes oppressive seasons driving for his late father's company, Earnhardt has unburdened himself from Dale Earnhardt Inc. while embracing his new job at Hendrick. Much like a kid in a candy store, he's taken every step with wide-eyed excitement that has seemingly re-energized his career. Stuck in a 62-race winless drought, this new beginning has given Earnhardt the confidence that his first Sprint Cup title is just around the corner. And if the sport's chairman believes an Earnhardt title can return NASCAR to its headier days, then Junior wants to deliver. "It makes you feel like you've got to be luckiest guy on the face of the earth," Earnhardt said. "There ain't a guy out there that wouldn't trade to be in this position. I know that. "I'm getting ready to drive Hendrick cars - best cars in the business, most popular driver - and I'm on the mind of the head dude? I feel just fortunate and really blessed ... to be in that situation." It's also a dangerous place to be. Failure is not really going to be an option for Earnhardt, not with the level of investments tied into this Hendrick venture. Although his car has been stout during preseason testing, it's still possible the No. 88 team will stumble out of the gate. It happens to new teams all the time, even at Hendrick, where Casey Mears sputtered through the first three months of his first year. Crew chief Tony Eury Jr. left DEI six weeks early last year to get a jump on the Hendrick move and ensure the team is ready, but there's no guarantee Earnhardt will find immediate success. What happens if Earnhardt is successful? Hendrick drivers won 18 of 36 races last season, with Jimmie Johnson claiming 10 of them along with his second-straight Cup title. The competition between Johnson and Gordon, a six-time winner last season, is already intense. Once Earnhardt starts stealing from their win column, it could be difficult to keep everyone happy. Don't forget all the attention being showered on Earnhardt. Gordon is used to being the star at Hendrick, and Johnson has learned to live in his shadow. Now the new guy has stolen the spotlight, while also being anointed NASCAR's savior. Gordon gets it and doesn't seem to mind. "It's reality and if we don't recognize that, then we're foolish," Gordon said. "It's not all about on-track performance. Dale's in a very unique situation, he didn't necessarily ask for it, but he handles it very well. And he's got to take advantage of it and if that's what is good for the sport, then I'm glad he's at our organization."

Child Care
Ensure a Brighter Future
Parents place their trust in the YMCA to help their children and youth thrive. Our core values-caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility-are part of everything we do. Because of this, we place great value on ensuring a safe environment. Child Protection Steps
State Licensed Early Child Care
Educare Centers
Full-Day Infant-Preschool
The YMCA of Central Ohio proudly offers full-day infant-through-preschool child care at three Educare Centers in Columbus. Our Educare Centers are licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Children in our Educare programs are cared for in a warm, caring and safe environment. Staff are well trained in early childhood education and follow age-appropriate lesson plans that are designed to stimulate childrens' minds as well as provide a fun and creative day for your child.
The YMCA of Central Ohio offers State Licensed Preschool programs in 4 YMCA branches. Our preschool programs also follow an educational enriching curriculum that focuses on kindergarten readiness, character development, health and fitness, diversity and values education. Swim time is available at some locations. YMCA Preschool is a great way for your child to interact with other children and gain the social skills they will need as they grow and mature into school-agers.
Head Start
The Head Start Program is a program of the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides comprehensive education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families. The program's services and resources are designed to foster stable family relationships, enhance children's physical and emotional well-being, and establish an environment to develop strong cognitive skills.
The transition from preschool to kindergarten imposes diverse developmental challenges that include requiring the children to engage successfully with their peers outside of the family network, adjust to the space of a classroom, and meet the expectations the school setting provides.
State Licensed School-Age Child Care
Before/After - School Care
The YMCA of Central Ohio offers state-licensed before and/or after-school care at over 50 locations throughout Central Ohio. While our programs allow for activity choice, they provide an educationally based curriculum which includes homework assistance and a fitness component.
School Days Off
The YMCA is committed to Central Ohio communities. During the school year, there are many occasions for schools to close, such as parent/teacher conference days, single day holidays and longer holiday breaks. On these days, the YMCA offers full-day child care, "School Days Off," from 7 am-6 pm at select branches. Pre-registration for School Days Off may be necessary.
Emergency Weather Days
The YMCA of Central Ohio is committed to ensuring Central Ohio families with safe, accessible child care options when schools close due to weather emergencies when possible. Select YMCA branches offer full-day child care for school-agers during most weather emergency situations. Please call ahead on emergency weather days to check if the program is able to operate. Pre-registration for School Days Off may be necessary.
Food Program & Y-Kids Are Fit
Child and Adult Care Food Program
Ohio Department of Education
The YMCA is proud to participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The goal of this program is to increase the YMCA's ability to meet the nutritional needs of children in our care by getting reimbursed for meals and snacks that meet CACFP requirements. In addition, we promote understanding of the role of nutrition in the physical, mental and social health of children and help develop positive food attitudes and eating behaviors.
Y-Kids Are Fit
Moving Kids Towards a Healthy Lifestyle
The YMCA of Central Ohio contracts with schools & organizations to provide the
Y-Kids Are Fit curriculum or programs can opt to have their own staff implement the curriculum.

Lucy Mims doesn't want to see any more trouble in her hometown of Sanford, Florida. The white, 75-year-old former nursing assistant and midwife has lived many peaceful years in her quaint three-bedroom home in the small city some 50 miles outside Orlando. That all changed four weeks ago, when 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch leader just 20 minutes from Mims' s home. As conflicting details of the teenager's murder continues to trickle out, Mims is worried that the lid is may soon blow off the simmering pot that Sanford now is.

Barrett, an Englishman, claimed himself to be a student of chemistry, metaphysics, and natural occult philosophy. He was known to be an extreme eccentric who gave lessons in the magical arts in his apartment and fastidiously translated Kabbalistic and other ancient texts into English.
He was very enthusiastic about reviving interest in the occult arts, and published a magical textbook called The Magus. Apart from possibly influencing the English occult novelist Bulwer-Lytton, the book gained little notice until it influenced Eliphas Levi.
The Magus dealt with the natural magic of herbs and stones, magnetism, talismanic magic, alchemy, numerology, the elements, and biographies of famous adepts from history.
The Magus also served as an advertising tool. In it Barrett sought interested people wanting to help form his magic circle. An advertisement in The Magus (Vol. 2, p. 140) refers to an otherwise unknown school founded by Barrett.
According to the advertisement :
When writing about witches Barrett stated that he did not believe that their power to torment or kill by enchantment, touch or by using a wax effigy came from Satan. He claimed if the Devil wanted to kill a man guilty of deadly sin, he did not need a witch as an intermediary.
Barrett's belief in magical power might be summed up this way:

Lavinia loved to walk where the ocean waves washed the shore. She had come with her parents.
She saw that her parents had stopped to gaze over the waves. They looked long past the surf, out towards the horizon. They gazed, as if in search of some winged soul.
Lavinia leaned down to pick up a stone. She chose a round grey one from among the colored wonders at her feet. It fit beautifully into her hand. She imagined how it had been tossed in waves and sand for a thousand years. She closed her fingers around the stone. Lavinia knew what her parents were looking for. They longed for the soul of her brother. A soul that was forever bound to the sea.
Before Lavinia was born, her brother had been pulled out to sea by a great wave. While his life gave in to the crystalline depths, she had danced in her mother's womb.
As his life light ebbed
Into the depths of time,
Her life danced forth
And began to shine.
Holding the smooth little stone in her hand Lavinia walked towards the dry sand. She lay in its warm bed until her parents called for her.
Later, after the delights of the day had ebbed into night, Lavinia lay in her bed. While the wind tore the waves and the clouds apart, Lavinia rested her head on a pillow. The grey stone rested beside her on the bedside table.
She slept. In her dreams the waves of night crashed all about her. They pulled her, they threw her, drawing her into their cold depths. She opened her eyes. The moonlight softly glowed on the surface of the stone. As the stone glowed it sang with a most beautiful timeless song. The chords and rhythms of the sea poured out of the stone.
It sang of raging waves, waves so powerful that they threatened to pull her limbs from her body. It was the song of the waves that crashed on the shores tonight. It was the song of the waves that had crashed on the shores for eons past. The song of the stone took her out beyond the place where the surf raged. It pulled her down into its depths.
There the waters were clear. They shimmered. They danced about her.
The song of the stone gently swept her towards the past, and towards the soft, grey ocean bed. It had taken her to the place of its birth. She rested there in complete calm. Layer after layer of an cient sediment pressed warmly over her.
The song of the stone moved her upwards. She floated in the pulsing power of the ocean's swell. It carried her towards a distant shore. The song of the waves showed her how the sand and surf could reshape her once again. She rose newly formed out of the primal layers. Then she lay on a gleaming shore. Warm rays of sun shone on her. The last chords of the stone's beautiful song faded into the moonlight.
As the sea sucked his life
To the edge of time,
I danced towards
The beginning of mine.
(Published in the Pre- and Perinatal Psychology Journal, 4(3), Spring 1990)

Cyprus Airways has sold one of its Airbus A320s to Myanmar Airways International for $6 million in cash.
The 1992-built aircraft, MSN 295, is powered by International Aero Engines V2500s.
Cabot Aviation arranged the transaction on behalf of Cyprus Airways.
Cypus Airways says the sale will result in an accounting profit of €1.6 million and will provide "a significant benefit in improving its liquidity and its capital base".
The Cypriot carrier is undergoing a gradual fleet replacement and has already sold several of its older A320s. It is also undergoing a restructuring plan aimed at ensuring its survival, and recently announced its intention to lease out one of its two Airbus A330-200s.
The airline has postponed the release of its financial results, which will now be published on 8 March.

Sheehy said the plan is for his client to fly in from Bratislava on Wednesday and join the team.
