The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science has funded the "Artificial Retina Project." To find out more information about the project, participating centers/locations and how to possibly enroll in a clinical trial, please visit: http://artificialretina.energy.gov/about.shtml.
The answer depends greatly on what is causing the visual change in your aunt. Assuming your aunt has the dry form of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), Tozal may have benefit. The data for Tozal is very limited, however, because the study was performed in a small number of patients for a short duration of time. The study showed that taking Tozal had a borderline effect in very slightly improving vision. The average amount of visual gain would not be noticeable by many patients. The best evidence for using nutritional supplements was generated by the large AREDS study. This study is being followed by the AREDS 2 study, which is still ongoing. The AREDS 2 supplement has some similarity to the Tozal supplement. Ask your aunt's ophthalmologist if she is a candidate for an AREDS supplement, as this supplement has been shown to definitely decrease the progression of certain types of ARMD.
Swelling in the eye after vein occlusion can be treated with several methods, though it seems that you have had many of them already. Certain types of vein occlusion can be treated with laser. The mainstay of treatment of swelling due to vein occlusion is currently Avastin or Lucentis injection. In cases of resistant swelling, some advocate use of steroid injections. If these treatments are not effective, new therapies are being developed, and may be able to improve your vision in the future.
More research on this topic is available for Viagra, since it is a drug that has been in use for a longer period of time. Viagra has not been shown to alter blood flow to the blood vessel layer underneath the retina, nor cause any short term effects in patients with early-stage dry age-related macular degeneration. Though not extensively proven, it would be reasonable to expect the same safety of Cialis. Cialis and Viagra may be associated with another condition that leads to lack of blood flow to the optic nerve causing visual loss. This association has not been definitely proven and is still under investigation.
No surgery exists to prevent the conversion of dry age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) to the wet subtype. However, smoking cessation and nutritional supplementation can definitely slow the conversion. Ask your retina specialist if you are a candidate for ARMD nutritional supplements. It is important to note that these supplements are only beneficial for a subgroup of patients with dry ARMD.
You are correct in thinking that certain factors can slow the progression of the dry subtype of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) in certain patients. PreserVision has been shown in a large clinical trial to definitively slow the progression of disease in certain patients with dry ARMD. Smoking cessation has also been shown to slow progression. Other behavioral changes like a healthy diet, exercise, and omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may be beneficial. ARMD is a subtype of macular degeneration, and frequently referred to as "macular degeneration," though this general term includes many other diseases. Read more about risk factors and prevention of age-related macular degeneration.
Pain after Avastin injection is not uncommon. The eye can respond to a noxious stimulus, such as recent injection, antiseptic drops, or antibiotics by secreting tears and mucous as a self protective mechanism. This may have been one possible cause. Please understand that fluid associated with redness, pain, or decreased vision is a reason to contact your doctor.
The antiseptic agent used prior to Avastin injection is povidone-iodine, and allergy to this is very rare. Have your doctor perform a patch test to confirm this allergy. A history of systemic iodine allergy is usually not a contraindication for topical povidone-iodine. In the rare case of a true povidone-iodone allergy, one could consider using aggressive topical antibiotics, but this would be an inferior antiseptic method and would select for resistant bacteria over time.

Animal-Kind International supports existing animal welfare orgs run by local people in Ghana, Malawi, Namibia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Honduras, Jamaica, Armenia & Bosnia. There are few opportunities to raise funds & supplies for animal welfare in these countries so they need to look to outside support for assistance. AKI does the due diligence on the orgs, ensures they track use of AKI funds & always sends 100% of donations to our partner orgs to be used only for animal welfare.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Animal welfare organizations (AWOs) in poor countries (where AKI's partner orgs work) have few opportunities to raise funds within their countries & look to supporters in wealthier countries for help. These AWOs have the drive, the volunteers, the know-how to solve animal welfare problems in their own countries, they only lack funds & supplies. AKI brings donors together with AWOs that need support. Working together, so much can be accomplished for animals in these countries.
How will this project solve this problem?
AKI sends funds to our partner AWOs and tracks their use. We do the due diligence so that donors are assured their funds are used only for animal welfare; we provide donors with detailed reports; & we link donors directly to the people doing the work on the ground. The AWOs are able to build more sustainable organizations; donors can share in the achievements. Funds support spay/neuter & other vet care, shelter renovation, dog & cat food, vet supplies, and other needed items.
Potential Long Term Impact
AKI supports AWOs that most need the help. But not only that, we ensure their programs & activities are worthy of our support & we help our partner orgs become sustainable so they will be long-term advocates for animal care in their communities. AKI helps AWOs in 10 countries & supports their local staff, who help over 2000 animals/year (dogs, cats, donkeys, horses). Besides ongoing needs, SAA-Armenia shelter roof repair, a tuktuk for Uganda SPCA & s/n in Luderitz, Namibia are current priorities

So join us on our journey to Fuel the Love – feed Zuke's and donate to the DCCF.

Ivan is an easygoing gorilla. Living at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, he has grown accustomed to humans watching him through the glass walls of his domain. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly ever thinks about it at all.
Instead, Ivan thinks about TV shows he's seen and about his friends Stella, an elderly elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. But mostly Ivan thinks about art and how to capture the taste of a mango or the sound of leaves with color and a well-placed line.
Then he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from her family, and she makes Ivan see their home - and his own art - through new eyes. When Ruby arrives, change comes with her, and it's up to Ivan to make it a change for the better.
Katherine Applegate blends humor and poignancy to create Ivan's unforgettable first-person narration in a story of friendship, art, and hope.
©2012 Katherine Applegate (P)2013 HarperCollins Publishers
Retired former magazine editor who is working harder than ever as Mr. Dad to his 12-year-old daughter.
"Very nice story"
I often listen/read kids' books with my 10-year-old daughter and usually like them. The One and Only Ivan was no exception. It's one of this year's Sunshine State Books for 3rd-5th graders. They (Florida education officials) select 15 books each year and we've yet to come across one that hasn't been excellent. This book teaches about kindness and the importance of "peer" interaction. The chapters in the book were numerous and short. The story snippets were organized and easy to follow. Everything blended together well. Listen (and read along) with your kid. You will both enjoy the experience.
"Excellent for children and adults."
Touching tale well-told
None comes to mind
The pace at which he reads works well for the story.
Well told tale of friendship, hope and inspiration.
"Another great read for kids grades 3- on"
Yes, my daughter and I loved this! Completely different than many books because it is told from Ivan's (the gorilla) point of view. There are SAD parts in the book... So prepare your kids if they are sensitive. But in the end all is happy:) If you have ever wondered what it is like for a gorilla, abused elephants, and a stray dog to live together in a small domain at the mall and see what they really think of it, you need to read this. As a parent I believe there are many underlying themes about animal cruelty. It does not speak negatively about zoos because those are the ones who come and help.
This is one of my top 20 children's chapter books:)
We did listen and follow along with the paper book/kindle because there are great pictures and Katherine Applegate does some cool effects for the pages (like when Ivan is talking). Also pay attention at the end because it explains how this is based on a true story.
"Just finished the book"
Been reading AND listening with my 10 year old daughter. She brought the book home from school and I purchased it on audible. We have been laughing, she asks questions. It has been fun and entertaining to spend time with my girl.
"Heartbreaking and heartwarming"
A wonderful story that filled me with heartbreak AND joy. Well done. Anxious to teach to this in my middle school classroom.
Such a heart reaching captivating story.
So moved to listen to Ivan's story and am glad it had a happy ending.
"Great feel good, touching story"
I love how he gave the Gorilla a voice. It felt like it was really told by a gorilla and what he would say and do. Such a feel good story and a very quick read.
This was a nice surprise. I have never read anything by this author prior. My ten year old didn't like it as much as I did, but still thought it was good. Such a sweet story.

Google co-founders cash in

Wall Street agog over GoogleNovember 28, 2005
Secondary Google offering good for investorsSeptember 15, 2005
That may sound like the ultimate jackpot to most people, but to Sergey Brin and Larry Page it was just another month in their billionaire-in-a-year lives.
Since the search giant went public in August 2004, Brin has sold about 6.5 million shares at a market value of $1.68 billion. Page has sold about 5.8 million shares at a market value of $1.4 billion, according to calculations from Thomson Financial. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt, who was brought in to run the company before it went public, has sold more than 2.1 million shares, worth more than $502 million.
What's new:
Google's co-founders sold shares of the Internet search giant last month, netting $160 million each.
Bottom line:
The timing and stock price may raise some eye brows, but the sales were scheduled in 2004, and they still own plenty of shares.
Of course, there's nothing new about executives at hot tech outfits getting rich selling their stock once their companies go public. Microsoft's Bill Gates didn't become the richest man in the world because of his take-home salary. And Oracle's Larry Ellison didn't exactly fund his far-flung yachting adventures by cashing in a 401K plan.
But the speed at which the Google bosses have sold their stock and the eye-popping value of the sales have raised some eyebrows among corporate governance experts.
"Any time you sell stock it is an affirmative decision that your assets are better deployed somewhere else," said Charles Elson, director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. "I just don't think that for the top leadership of a company, large stock sales send a particularly strong message to the other shareholders. I don't think it's a good thing."
He wasn't the only one to take notice, though he was more critical than Wall Street stock analysts who can take comfort in the fact that everyone who invested in Google early on has been amply rewarded by a stock price that has increased nearly 400 percent in 17 months.

Taking Google's measure
Elinor Mills, Mike Yamamoto and Charlie Cooper debate how long Google can maintain its frenetic growth rate.

"The insider-selling cases are never a positive for the stock and sometimes they could be red flags," Piper Jaffray analyst Safa Rashtchy wrote in an e-mail response to questions. "(But) by itself, I don't think this sale activity is a major telling point, although it does appear to be quite large and is somewhat concerning."
Not too concerning, apparently. Rashtchy raised his 2006 price target for Google stock to $600 a share from $445 a few weeks ago.
Sales planned long ago
Why the nonchalance? One answer could be that so far there's little reason to think Google's bosses are doing anything unseemly or separating their interests from those of other shareholders. Yes, they've already made a gargantuan amount of money, and stand to make a lot more if Google continues to rebound from a surprising 8.5 percent share price drop on Friday--the biggest single-day drop in the company's brief history. The drop came amid a broader Wall Street decline and one day after it became public that Google is fighting a Justice Department request for random search data.
But the Googlers' stock sales were carefully planned before the search giant went public. Unlike insider sales that are made by company executives accused of unloading stock right before a suspected downturn, the Google executives' sales were decided long ago. They were coordinated under a schedule that allows insiders to pre-arrange the sale of a certain number of shares over a period of time.
The plan, called a 10b5-1, allows them to sell stock on a regular basis without appearing as though they are reacting to market movements up or down. When they announced that they were adopting the plan in 2004, Google said that after the sales were completed Brin and Page would each retain more than 80 percent of their current holdings and Schmidt would retain nearly 85 percent.

Take one investment course, please. You must always diversify to protect your assets. Selling the stock does not necessarily have anything to do with the owners future assessment of the company. Any competent financial adviser would insist on diversification as soon as possible.
I guess the University of Deleare doen't have a business school?

- Don's right. The sales were proper and justified
- The Google boys would have to be very stupid not to sell a
substantial portion of their stock in order to diversify and 15 or
20% is not excessive. 80% would be excessive.
This story is either gross ignorance or malicious gossip-
mongering. You have to wonder what the editors were thinking.

NORFOLK — Taylor Heinicke is fascinated by pressure, motion, stress, efficiency and force. On the football field, as well.
Old Dominion's senior quarterback sees few correlations between his major, mechanical engineering, and football, other than the fact that both require massive time and effort.
Yes, there's precision and velocity and torque and leverage and mass displacement in football. Yes, Heinicke takes an analytical, almost mathematical, approach to the game, which befits his personality as well as his chosen course of study.

Yet there are things he does and that he's accomplished that defy physical laws, things for which there is no formula or explanation.
He eludes defenders he doesn't always see. He locates open receivers who weren't there a moment earlier. In the fluid chaos of a well-drawn play gone awry, he and his teammates somehow end up 10 or more yards downfield with a fresh set of downs.
A kid overlooked by most colleges throws for 700 yards in a game and 11,000 yards in fewer than three full seasons. Dynamics, indeed.
"No idea it was going to be like this," ODU offensive coordinator Brian Scott said. "To say he's exceeded expectation in my eyes is an understatement. He's taken this whole thing to a new level. If anybody tells you different — if anybody on the staff says, oh yeah, we knew he was going to be a record-setting guy — they're lying. We all thought he had potential and could do some things. But we didn't think it would be like this."
Heinicke, the quiet kid from Atlanta, became the ringleader of the most successful start-up program in Division I history. He won the Football Championship Subdivision's equivalent of the Heisman Trophy, the Payton Award. He helped put Old Dominion football on the map.
As he prepares for his final college season, he faces his greatest challenge — outside of maybe a 400-level engineering class. He will run ODU's offense in its first full season as a Bowl Subdivision member, in Conference USA.
"I knew I could be successful, just because of the offense I was in, how quickly the program was being built, the athletes I had around me," Heinicke said recently, sitting in a meeting room at the L.R. Hill Sports Complex. "I haven't really looked back at the last three years. I think 10-15 years from now, I'll really sit down and look at it and be very proud of what I've accomplished. But there's so much more to accomplish this year, there's no time to sit and look back on it."
Heinicke's story is almost the stuff of myth or legend. The true freshman got a battlefield promotion and ran with it. He replaced injured starter Thomas DeMarco, the original face of the program, in the second half of the fifth game of the 2011 season.
With only a modest grasp of the playbook, he completed 8 of 11 passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns as the Monarchs scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to defeat 20th-ranked Massachusetts 48-33.
As DeMarco was slow to heal, the true freshman kept the starter's job. He threw for 2,385 yards and 25 touchdowns, with one measly interception, completing 68.7 percent of his passes. The Monarchs, picked to finish next-to-last in their first season in the CAA, tied for second and went to the FCS playoffs.
The following year, Heinicke put up PlayStation numbers, breaking Steve McNair's FCS passing yardage record with 5,076 yards and 44 touchdowns. Included was the had-to-be-there-to-believe-it, 730 passing yards and 791 total yards in a 64-61 win against New Hampshire. The Monarchs again went to the playoffs, and he won the Payton Award as the best offensive player in FCS.
In the mixed bag of the 2013 transition season, with no championship incentive and a schedule that included middlin' FCS programs as well as ACC schools, Heinicke still threw for 4,000 yards and 33 touchdowns, while completing 70 percent of his passes.
ODU head coach Bobby Wilder was a quarterback himself and has coached the position for pretty much his entire 27-year career. He said that quarterbacks generally have about 2.5 seconds from snap to throw, to determine what's going on around them and execute.
"That ability to process the information and perform the physical act of putting the ball where it needs to go, he's as good as I've seen," Wilder said, "and he's probably going to be as good as anybody in the country this year."
But Heinicke's X-factor is his knack for extending plays and permitting the skill-position players around him to find openings. William and Mary coach Jimmye Laycock wondered if Heinicke possessed 360-degree vision after the Tribe's 41-31 loss to ODU in 2012. Former James Madison coach Mickey Matthews referred to him as "Taylor Football," a nod to you-know-who.
"For us to be in a situation where we don't have to use tight ends and can keep skill guys on the field, a lot of it's because he can bail us out of sacks or breakdowns in protection, he can extend plays," Scott said. "That's why we can do what we do right now. … That's probably his best attribute, is getting us out of a bad play and into a good play."
ODU quarterbacks coach Ron Whitcomb said there are times when Heinicke will come to the sideline, close his eyes and tell coaches what he saw on the field, as if he were describing a picture from memory or recalling moves from a chess match.

The ascent to the surface took no more than four hours, but the treacherous roadway was littered with mud and stones making the effort seem like days. Mona led the way with the torch in one hand, and the blue stone held firmly in the other. Her strong and sure-footed stride moved forward with purpose, but was continually hampered by the stumbling and clumsy progress of the hunting party. It was unsurprising, as water was a continual presence in the mine. It seeped from the walls and rained from the ceiling like a light drizzle, a cascade of tiny lights glowing in the torchlight that showed the way ahead.
Although there was an occasional side tunnel or maintenance duct detailed by the artefact, Mona could see that it was this large access tunnel that would bring them quickly to the surface. She remembered as a child, seeing the giant anti-grav mining vehicles descending into the ground through tunnels like this. Once in the underground chambers, these vehicles could move unconstrained in three dimensions across vast excavations and seams of ore, feeding giant counterparts that carried buckets of unrefined material to the surface for processing. It must have been one of those load lifters that brought the strange blue craft down into the mine, else it had chosen to make its way there for its own purpose. Mona imagined it was the former, since the Sansica Corporation that owned these mines was well known for its interests in alien worlds and technologies. If it had chosen to hide something this far from prying eyes, it might be a secret that it was willing to keep unknown at any cost. While Mona listened to the excited chat of her party discussing salvage rights and percentages, she sensed that even when they reached the surface, they might not yet be out of danger.
It was the young woman in the hunting party who saw the ghost first, crying out fearfully as she looked over her shoulder to the depths below. The party stopped immediately, and Mona was forced to return to the group to peer into the gloom with the others. Mona snapped off the torch in irritation, to prove that nothing was there. The blackness of course was profound and absolute, which only served to frighten the young woman even more. Mona set off again and this time did not wait, forcing the party to follow her or be left in the dark. The group complained that they needed rest, only to be reminded that it would be nightfall when they emerged if they did not move faster.
It was in a maintenance bay, nearly an hour before they reached the surface, that they found another decayed body. It wore civilian clothes, and judging by the safety badge and hand computer lying nearby, was a scientist or engineer. The hunting party averted their eyes and moved on, but Mona paused a moment before hooking the hefty handheld device on to her equipment belt. If there was a story to be told about what was in the mine and how these people died, it would be somewhere in the holomatrix of a personal log or notes. A sudden pang of guilt about robbing the dead made Mona glance around to see if the party was watching, and saw what seemed to be a human outline glowing in the dark. She stood quickly and shone her torch down the tunnel, but there was nothing but rock and water. Mona shivered. As vast as the tunnel was, it felt as though the walls were starting to close around them, and she set the pace again with renewed urgency. They would reach the surface before sunset, even if it meant her carrying them there.

Tellurium East was another of the abandoned satellite facilities attached to Monazite Creek, frequented these days by smugglers and worse. Mona smiled when she remembered how her father had chosen her name, Mona being short for monazite, the ore from which lanthanum and other rare earths was extracted. The smile soon faded though, when the news came of a Sansica representative on his way. Even though her father owned the old buildings at the Creek, the shattered remnants of Sansica still held an interest in the area. Something told her that the old landlord was not interested in their wellbeing.
Mona stood in the cool breeze, holding the blue stone tight in her right hand, while the unaccustomed weight of the computer hung from her belt; a nagging reminder that she ought to be elsewhere when the company man arrived.

A fine render--almost photographic. The writing is a bit rough in places, compared to your usual careful crafting. First sentence in third paragraph: "who she"--obviously a revision where the she should have been deleted but wasn't. Then down in the comments section of the story, you wrote:
"...when the news came of a Sansica representative on his way." How did she get the news. The reader has no idea. Sounds like magic. I'm sure that was not the effect that you wanted.
Again, small things, but as they say, the devil is in the details.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
You hold the key to stronger relationships, deeper connections, and heightened intimacy.
Everyone wants to know how to improve his or her love life, but so few of us understand the integral role the brain plays in attraction, keeping us excited about our partner, and helping us feel a strong connection. Based on Dr. Daniel Amen's cutting-edge neuroscience research, The Brain in Love shares twelve lessons that help you enhance your love life through understanding and improving brain function. Filled with practical suggestions and information on how to have lasting and more fulfilling relationships, The Brain in Love reveals:
• How emotional and physical intimacy can help prevent heart disease, improve memory, stave off cancer, and boost your immune system
• How the differences between men's and women's brains affect our perceptions and interest in sex
• The science behind why breakups hurt so much, and what you can do to ease the pain
• Surefire techniques to fix common problems–depression, PMS, ADD–that contribute to conflicts
• How to make yourself unforgettable to your partner
The Brain in Love explains everything there is to know about the brain in love and lust, guiding you to the emotional and physical intimacy you need.
The Men's Health columnist and author of the best-selling Change Your Brain offers insight into the brain's role in romantic relationships, in a guide previously published as Sex on the Brain that explains how to use brain strategies to promote mutually beneficial intimacy. Reprint. TV tie-in.

Are you tired of playing Zero Hour and winning a match to easily? or perhaps you want to build an army so powerful that it can destroy the entire enemy while only consisting of one unit? well then I've got some good news for you: We, the Chinese Dominance Development team, are here to make all of your overpowered or underdog dreams come true! with major overpowering improvements to the Chinese Factions!
please read below for more detail about the beta release of this mod
Posted by Admiral-165 on Sep 9th, 2009
Hello everybody! chinese dominance has awoken from its slumber and is now ready to go into the final stretches of the first beta release! Which is why its ever so important that we get new members that are good in the fields such as mappers and ai scripters. and of course beta-testers :)
I will be uploading a trailer on youtube (my account) GRANS Productions and probabaly here on moddb. I hope to have this trailer released before 2 weeks have passed, i still have to fix some bugs, and i have school to do but it shouldn't be too long :) and remember: when the trailer g online it means the beta is done and being tested so it should be released for public download 1-2 days after (if all goes according to plan)
just to overview the beta will be infantry general only and the ai will unfortunately not use any of the new units (unless i get a scripter) but he will use any replaced units. for example if i replaced the battlemaster tank with a better one he'll build that. but he won't build the moving fortress (lucky for you guys)
the release will include all of the new infantry, vehicles, tanks, aircraft, and buildings for the infa general as well as custom unit descriptions, more money choices, and more colour choices. as well as some gameplay changes. ill include a text document with them all in the release for anyone whos interested
The money and colour choices go here and I also have a poll here. please check it out as its kind of important for gameplay (especially GLA players)
if you or someone you know is skilled as a mapper, scripter or beta-tester then please join or tell them to join, the mod becomes much more fun if its complete with all the extra little things.
Thanks! - Admiral

Leonid Marmelshtein says he was injured in a Southfield police raid in 2004. Police said they burst in after the Marmelshteins refused to answer the door.
Leonid and Arlene Marmelshtein were sitting down to dinner when the Southfield cops burst into their home in December 2004 looking for marijuana.
After battering down their front door, the cops tossed in two flash-bang grenades and knocked Leonid Marmelshtein, a 69-year-old Russian immigrant, to the ground.

• Rochelle Riley: Mom is determined to see justice for son
• Evans: Shooting probe to be fair
• In shooting case, mystery surrounds videotape
• Special police team sued in '07 dog shooting incident
Today, the couple is suing the Southfield Police Department and 10 officers who took part in the raid, alleging use of excessive force in storming their house and terrorizing them.
The U.S. District Court case focuses on the use of the flash-bang devices, like the one used in Sunday morning's raid in Detroit in which 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones was fatally shot when a police officer's gun discharged.
A lawyer in the Stanley-Jones case filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of the girl's family.
The Marmelshteins' lawyer, William Goodman of Detroit, said Sunday's incident has prompted the Detroit chapter of the National Lawyers Guild to study the use of flash-bang devices to protect Detroit-area residents and safeguard their civil rights.
"Flash-bang devices are explosives, and the police should use a lot of care before deploying them," Goodman said.
Goodman said the Southfield Police Department uses them routinely without any training, placing citizens at risk. He said he thinks other Detroit-area police departments are doing the same thing.
A lawyer for the Southfield Police Department disputed that.
"To say there isn't any training is absolutely false," attorney T. Joseph Seward of Livonia said Tuesday.
And the use of the flash-bang grenades in the Marmelshtein raid was "entirely appropriate," he said.
But a federal judge disagreed.
"No reasonable law enforcement officer would have considered a confused elderly couple to be capable of producing the kind of tense and rapidly evolving uncertain situation which would require 10 police officers to make split-second decisions, including the use of two flash-bang devices," U.S. District Judge Julian Cook said in September in refusing Southfield's request to dismiss the suit.
The city has appealed to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Southfield cops began investigating the couple after neighbors complained about traffic at the home, suspecting drug trafficking. A check of their trash yielded traces of marijuana, so police got a search warrant.
Police said they burst into the house after the couple refused to answer the door.
In the moments that followed, the husband was knocked to the ground. Goodman says he was punched and kicked, which police deny.
Goodman said police found a few crumbs of marijuana in an adult son's sock drawer.
Police charged Marmelshtein with obstructing and assaulting the police and disorderly conduct. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. A judge took the plea under advisement and dismissed the charge a year later.

If you're like me, you probably thought when you were younger that you were as fully conscious and aware as you were ever going to be. Ah, the innocence of youth. Then, as the years rolled by, you realized that you had been just self-absorbed enough to not realize that you were sleepwalking through life. As you gradually "awoke in the dream" and learned how to become a conscious witness to your own life, you marveled at how clueless you had been.
The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.
Lao Tzu
That's the Catch-22 of life. You don't have a clue that you don't have a clue, so you are blissfully unaware that clues are scattered about you wherever you are and wherever you look. If you're wondering if you're still clueless (which is your fist clue that you are!), look at how you respond to constructive criticism. If you get defensive or angry, you are still asleep at the wheel. A conscious, enlightened person will listen carefully and, regardless of the intent of the person providing the feedback, welcome the comment with gratitude and detachment, either accepting it as true and making changes accordingly or dismissing it as lacking in merit.
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
Henry Miller
Here are more indications that you are not living consciously:
• If you think that what you believe is unquestionably the way things are.
• If you think you have no choice about the way you react to good news and bad news.
• If you think that bad news cannot possibly be good news and good news cannot possibly be bad news.
• If you judge others harshly without regard to their life circumstances and experiences.
• If you feel entitled to special treatment . . . ever.
• If you think that your religion is the only one that got it right.
• If you believe that everything that happens to you is random.
• If you believe that the purpose of life is to enjoy all the pleasures the world has to offer.
• If you avoid introspection.
• If you often lose your temper in your relationships at home or at work.
• If you rationalize any of your behaviors or actions.
• If you think that you've got life all figured out.
• If you think scripture can only be interpreted literally.
• If you think you know God.
• If you think you don't have to learn and grow anymore.
• If you believe what you believe only because that's what you were taught when you were younger.
How do you start living more consciously? When you can observe your thoughts as if they were someone else's, you move from self-absorption to self-awareness. You begin living harmoniously when you perform every action with mindfulness and conscious intent.
No matter where you are right now or how far the road stretches in front of you, be kind to yourself. You know more about life now that you did five years ago, and you will know more about life five years from now than you do right now. Life never stops. So hang on and enjoy the ride!

Team-Sport Indoor Karting was formed in 1990 originally under the banner of Go-Karting For Fun. The first track was in Guildford and set new standards for go karting events and unparalleled centre facilities.
Success at Guildford was quickly followed with a second centre opening at Crawley and a third in Southampton which opened in 1996. When a larger building became available in Aldershot, the decision was taken to move the original Guildford track in order to offer karters an even better race experience. 1999 saw the opening of the Gosport track, then Andover followed in 2000.
By the millennium, at 10 years old, Go Karting For Fun was firmly established as the U.K's largest indoor karting company, with 5 tracks in the South East. This success was achieved by a dedication to providing the best race experience, in the best karts, on the best tracks, within the best centers and all delivered by the best staff in the U.K.
After a few difficult years in the early 'naughties' a massive refurbishment program began in 2004 with many of the original track's facilities significantly upgraded. Then in 2006 the next chapter in our history really began. We relocated our Aldershot centre to a new building in Camberley, Surrey and just a few months later opened our 6th track in Cardiff. The professionally designed track & amazing facilities at the Cardiff track are amongst the best in the UK and the massive investment has ensured TeamSport Karting Cardiff is the premier go kart track in Wales & the South West.
December 2008 saw our long search for a track in the capital come to an end when we opened in North London. In 2009 the relocation of the Crawley track was undertaken, but this time on a scale different to anything seen in the UK before. Over £1m was invested in building the new 3 level track, which created a racing experience unmatched in the UK, with hospitality facilities to match.
2010 saw our first ever acquisition of a track in Bristol, followed by the opening of TeamSport's new flagship venue at Tower Bridge in Central London. This time a £1m + investment in an amazing multi-level track was not enough, we went electric (!) with a light-weight electric powered fleet of karts, utilizing lithium battery technology - a truly amazing experience.
Although 2011 was supposed to be about consolidation following the tracks we opened at the end of 2010, we just couldn't help ourselves when an opportunity presented itself in Brighton! One massive building, an awesome track with the already famous corkscrew & facilities to match Tower Bridge have resulted in another hugely successful venue.
2012 was a quiet year for us with the company focusing on re-investing in the existing sites and getting the facilities at many upgraded to match Brighton and Tower bridge. 2013 however was a completely different story and started with a real bang! The company owner of 21 years decided it was time to sell up and with financial
backing from a private equity firm and banking support, we purchased the majority shareholding in TeamSport! Not happy with just that small company development we managed to gain our fantastic Warrington venue with a 1000m track running over 3 levels, then shortly after that we acquired Birmingham to add to the rapidly expanding pack!
Just months later as we entered 2014 we then gained the fantastic, tarmac, 800m Docklands venue, with its beautiful entrance hall and F1 car hanging off the wall in reception this place is definitely worth a visit! Now as we look into the final 1/4 of 2014 we are just doing the final planning for our 3-level Reading venue, due to open in December 2014, final details to follow soon! Watch this space for the next news on the even increasing TeamSport location list!

Beautiful, but on your own for assembly
All in all, the ottoman looks great. I did not receive assembly instructions, so it was a little difficult to figure out at first. If you are reading this because you didn't receive instructions either, here's how to do it. All of the legs are in the zipper pouch on the underside of the ottoman. You have to unwrap the tape they have secured around the screw pegs of each leg. Now the difficult part. You have to feel for where the screw inserts are on the ottoman and cut through the black fabric. Don't worry if your cut is ugly, the leg will cover it up. Once you have a small circle of the fabric cut away, you can see the screw insert and just screw the legs in. Some of the legs were difficult to get in straight, so it took a few tries. Good luck!Read More
Grey, not beige
The color is grey....not beige. Does not feel like linen but is a nice slubby fabric.Read More
Beige Linen, Perfect Pair
I originally ordered the grey linen ottoman. My living room is a mixture of white, warm grey, and navy. The ottoman came and I was a bit disappointed due to the fact that the color was much darker than pictured. It was a cold, dark grey/green/blue fabric. It was cute, but did not match the color scheme. Overstock was super helpful in helping me return and exchange for the beige linen ottoman. I was skeptical due to the previous ottoman, but the beige linen looked perfect. It is definitely beige with a slight light warm grey tone to it. It does an excellent job pulling in the white, beige, and warm grey together in the room. i would recommend the product to any one who is looking for a fabric ottoman that is sturdy and crisp looking for a decent price! Enjoy :)Read More
