Over the past decade, millions of fans have flocked to see the high speed thrills of the Fast and the Furious movie franchise, starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Some have even dreamed of the possibility of owning the souped up modern day hot rods that are the true stars of the films. On Saturday, April 12, one lucky fan at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Collector Car Auction got just that chance!
The 1969 Dodge Charger, driven by both of the stars of the hit movie franchise and painted in a matte grey, could be spotted on screen in the Rio car meet and racing scenes of Fast Five. It is cloaked in a stock Lamborghini paint color, and features a "vintage 426 Hemi" along with bigger brakes, 20-inch wheels, low-profile tires, and a "drift brake." The lucky bidder walked away with the car for just under $150,000, which was a steal compared to some of the other high profile car prices of the afternoon.
Fans of Hollywood movie memorabilia were also treated with the 2013 Ford Mustang which was featured in the "Need For Speed," which was generously donated and whose auction benefited the Henry Ford Foundation. It's $300,000 sale to Dave Flynn of the Flynn Automotive Group in Youngstown, Ohio, the same man who bought the first 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 the night before, was the first big money car to cross the block on Saturday afternoon, but it was hardly the last.
At 5:00 p.m., a wave of quiet anticipation spread across the floor of the South Florida Expo Center, as chassis No. 001 for the 2015 model year of the Chevrolet Corvette C07 roared onto the main stage. The car, which was donated to the the Karmanos Cancer Institute by General Motors, sparked a heated bidding war between the biggest names in the auction business. In the end, it was car dealer John Staluppi versus car dealer and NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick in a battle that ended with a winning bid by Hendrick of $1,000,000.
Of course, if you don't have the money to spend on these unique marquee brands, you can at least get a chance to ride in them! Both General Motors and the Ford Motor Company are offering ride and drive opportunities, where you can choose your favorite model to take two runs around their improvised track with a salesman by your side to answer any questions you might have, provided you pass the breathalyzer test first. After finishing the drive portion, you then have an opportunity to ride along with a professional driver in some of the fastest American muscle cars available on the market today.
On the Ford side, you can choose from a sporty Ford Fiesta ST, the sportier Ford Focus ST, or the king of Ford muscle, the Mustang. Professionals from Miller Motorsports Park put the pedal to the medal, and demonstrate the true power of 600+ horses. On the Chevrolet side, you are chauffeured by professionals from the Ron Fellows driving school as they unleash the ultimate power of the Z06 Corvette. Though both cars are amazing to ride in, the Corvette seems to have a slight edge on speed and stability, while the Mustang feels as though you will spin out at any second.
The event closes at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, and continues Sunday morning from the South Florida Fairgrounds with the gates opening at 8:00 a.m., and the ride n' drive taking to the track at 9:00 a.m. The auctioneers warm up with automobilia items at 10:00 a.m. and move on to the cars from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with same day tape delayed coverage on Fox Sports 1. For more information and tickets for the auction, visit the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach website.

Coping with past mistakes
Parashat Vayigash (Genesis 44:18-47:27)
The history of the cliffhanger probably isn't much older than the late 19th century. Stories were serialized, first in newspapers and later in motion pictures, and authors wanted to entice the reader or viewer to tune back in for the following installment. A common device was to interrupt the story at a point where the hero was hanging for dear life onto a cliff — either literally or figuratively — and you needed to wait until the next episode to discover his or her fate.
Cliffhangers are not normally a part of Jewish tradition; the rabbi doesn't stop the Torah reading on Shabbat morning right in the middle of a dramatic part of the biblical narrative in the hopes that people will be so riveted that they'll want to come back the following week to hear how the story ends (although maybe it's not a bad idea; we've tried everything else to increase synagogue attendance).
The one exception to the no-cliffhanger rule is the end of last week's Torah portion. Joseph has just informed Judah that only the littlest brother, Benjamin, who has been accused of stealing Joseph's magic goblet, must become his slave; Judah can return with his other brothers to Canaan. The parasha ends abruptly, almost in mid-sentence, only to pick up this week right where it left off, with Judah pleading with Joseph to spare Benjamin. Why the cliffhanger in this story?
Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner, the 19th century founder of Izhbitz Chasidism, explained that the middle of the story — precisely where our parasha begins — represents a pivotal turning point in the life of Judah, the son who would eventually sire the most important tribe of Israel. It was a defining moment in his life, and it was necessary in order for his tribe to take its place in Jewish history.
Judah injured his father, Jacob, three times: It was his idea to sell Joseph into slavery; he deceived Jacob into thinking that Joseph was dead, thus causing him even greater anguish; and now, after he had promised to take care of his beloved kid brother, Benjamin, and bring him back safely to Canaan, he was about to devastate his father once again by returning home sans Benjamin.
One can only imagine how Judah must have felt as Benjamin was being handcuffed and hauled off: Now I've really done it; I'm an absolute failure, and my poor choices are finally catching up with me. A demoralized and defeated Judah thus told Joseph at the end of last week's portion: "We are hereby your slaves."
But now, at the beginning of this week's portion, we see a new spirit within Judah. Instead of simply resigning himself to his fate, he somehow summons the strength to say, "No, I will not allow myself to be pulled down by my own poor choices. I will fight to survive and will do whatever it takes to make things right." He thus pleads and argues with Joseph, ultimately forcing Joseph to reveal himself as their brother.
Judah thus represents the inner strength of the ba'al teshuvah (returnee to righteousness) to pick oneself up and move on. And this is why, when we scope the larger history of the Jews (indeed, "Jew" is a derivative of "Judah"), Judah's tribe has survived and weathered the storms of the Diaspora better than any other. Judah has this power to shake off the malaise with an optimistic view of the future: Even if I've messed up today, tomorrow is another day.
Instead of resuming the cliffhanger, our portion begins with a completely transformed paradigm of how to cope with the mistakes of our past. Instead of giving up, Judah is a new man with newfound strength, ready to face and fix the challenges of his imperfect life.
When we do experience setbacks in life, even if they are of our own making, we can always call out to God for help. When He sees that we're ready to tackle the challenges instead of giving up, He'll be there to lend a hand.

I Wanna Cum Inside Your Mom 31
I gave your mom a ride home from the mall yesterday and I've always thought she was really hot. But when she sat next to me and that tiny skirt she was wearing rode so far up her thighs that I could see her very tight panties, I knew she was more than hot, she was horny too! Then when she told me that she would be alone tonight, I knew I was going to CUM INSIDE YOUR MOM!

"Bar Mitzvah Disco" (Crown, 2005) is part-coffeetable book, part-cultural relic, part-archive and wholly embarrassing.
Authors Roger Bennett, Jules Shell and Nick Kroll discovered in one long B.S. session that nothing quite engaged their friends, Jew and non-Jew alike, as a trip back down memory lane to the day of their or their friends' bar or bat mitzvah. They started a Web site where people could post photos and memories, www.barmitzvahdisco.com, and that Web site became this book. It was, the authors explain, "an opportunity to tell the story of a generation" -- and to embarrass people. Polyester suits, Farrah-bangs, tables of overfed relations, braces and acne -- did we mention the word embarrassing? Along with plenty of photos -- which are telling and even strangely brilliant divorced from the context of a bar mitzvah album -- there are funny and poignant contributions by, among others, David Kohan, Sarah Silverman, Jonathan Safran Foer and Gideon Yago.

Sorry to pull the discussion back so far, but I wanted to be able to answer the questions here...

I agree with you here, actually. I'm just saying that there are more than 6 billion humans on the planet. Considering that, a few thousand people may be more accurate than one or two, but you still can't expect a study of that size to be as accurate as most people like to pretend it is.

Hmm... I hadn't thought of it that way, actually. It just makes sens to me that, if God really is the supernatural being we've all been told he is (as in, all-powerful, all-knowing, exists outside of time, ect.), then he must know what's best for us more than we do. Think of it like a parent-child relationship. The kid wants to have a bunch of candy. Why? It tastes good. The kid can't yet understand that, if he's going to have a bunch of candy, it will probably make him sick. So the parent has to understand it and tell the kid, 'no'.

Well, that's not
what I meant. I could give you a few examples of how prayer has changed lives, but you're just going to tell me that it's only a couple of people and therefore inaccurate on average, so I'll just allow us to skip over that.
you believe the Bible (particularly the Old Testament), then there are several examples of God listening to the words of His people. I said 'if' because it seems like the majority of us here don't. At any rate, you have Abraham, who asked God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah because that's where Lot was living; God spared the cities long enough for Lot to get out.
Isaac prayed that God would lead a woman to the well he sat at who'd be willing to give him a drink of the water; there came Rebekah (alright, this is a cheezy example...). There were a couple of times where God threatened to destroy the Israelites and Moses pleaded with him to change his mind.
If I had a Bible handy, I could list more. But my understanding is that prayer isnt meant to capture Gods attention. After all, doesnt he know
already? My understanding of prayer is more that we need to say it than that He needs to hear it. It can be comforting to get your problems out on the table even if God decides to answer no.
Mom tells me I need brain food... but if writing ain't that, I don't know what is!

China's Low Carbon Leadership in Cities (Chinese)
- Date
- 22 January 2009
The report highlights eight case studies of Chinese cities which are deploying low carbon technologies such as LED lighting, solar power, electronic vehicles and other technologies to reduce green house gas emissions.
The Climate Group's new city program aims to recruit, motivate, and engage 20 Chinese cities in a five-year campaign to transform and accelerate the local market for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. So far, The Climate Group has signed Memorandum of Understandings with Guiyang City in southwest China and Dezhou City in east China.
Despite the global economic downturn, China's early progress towards becoming a global hub for low carbon investment, technology and growth looks set to continue. The Climate Group's China's Clean Revolution report launched last year shows that China's combination of cost advantages, a clear policy framework, a dynamic and entrepreneurial business environment and abundant abatement opportunities, is proving that developing nations have as much, if not more, to gain from investment in low carbon solutions creating green-collar jobs, social benefits and economic growth.

Most stocks finished higher in the stock market today, buoyed by strong corporate earnings that reignited confidence in the pace of the economic recovery. But you'd never know that technology was one of the sectors leading markets higher if you glanced at Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX), Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), and Linear Technology Corporation (NASDAQ:LLTC), which finished as three of the worst performers in the entire S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX:^GSPC). But while these three stocks were tumbling, the S&P itself was on its way to an all-time closing record, adding 3 points, or 0.2%, to end at 1,987.
Xilinx, a chipmaker that makes integrated circuits, systems-on-a-chip, and other technologies, saw shares plunge 14.3%. In layman's terms, what matters is that Xilinx's business is reliant on two types of consumers: governments and telecom companies. While Xilinx managed to squeak out higher second-quarter earnings than expected, sales of $612.6 million in the period missed consensus forecasts for $631 million by a wide margin. The company also thinks revenue will either stay flat or fall by up to 4% next quarter, which is at odds with CEO Moshe Gavrielov's assertion that "Xilinx is positioned to benefit from a recovery in wireless and defense programs" in the second half of the fiscal year. The stock was hit with a flurry of downgrades following the poor forward guidance.
Shares of networking technology provider Juniper Networks also had some nice financials to highlight from its second quarter, but took a pounding as a result of lousy third-quarter guidance. Juniper Networks stock took a 9.6% haircut on Wednesday as it forecast third-quarter earnings per share between $0.35 and $0.40 where analysts were looking for $0.44 in third-quarter EPS. Juniper's CEO chalked up the weak guidance to industry dynamics in which service providers are hell-bent on throwing money at mergers and acquisitions rather than traditional network improvements. The company is putting its money where its mouth is, too, pledging to repurchase $550 million of common stock by year-end. If the setback truly is temporary, then today's pullback looks like an overreaction and an opportunity for long-term Juniper believers.
The stock of another chipmaker, Linear Technology Corporation, shed 5.7% on Wednesday in the wake of its own quarterly earnings report. It's a bit more difficult to divine what investors thought was wrong with Linear's report, although it couldn't have been last quarter's numbers. The company clobbered consensus EPS forecasts for $0.51, posting EPS of $0.59 in its fiscal fourth quarter. Linear Technology also topped consensus sales expectations, projected that revenue next quarter would edge higher when historically it declines, and saw Morgan Stanley reiterate its "overweight" rating on the stock. Unless there was an ominous tone to the conference call this morning, today's slump is somewhat of a head-scratcher. The conference call is available through Linear's website through July 30.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning -- it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee that its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are even claiming that its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts that 485 million of these devices will be sold per year. But one small company makes this gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and to see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

I am quiet new to the world
of appliances and don't know what are the right terms should I have to used.
Anyhow, hope so you got my point. Few days back my smoothie machine where smoke
out when I added frozen berries to crush. On finding over the product forum
they suggest me to wind motor. Can anyone out there can help me to done the winding job by myself or should I have to replace it.
Blender machines can help to find the best machine to squeeze.
The cost of the replacement wire to rewire a motor is small, but the additional cost of the tools to do a motor rewind correctly will be more than the cost of a new smoothie machine if all you paid for it new was $30 to $40.
Now i am looking to buy the new smoothie machine can you please suggest me few never models with better performance.
Sorry it's *newer
Elizbathmartin:please suggest me few never models with better performance.
To make a suggestion requires the make and model of the smoothie machine that burned up.

And So It Goes: Rated "PG-13" (1 hour, 34 minutes)
Starring: Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton, Sterling Jerins, Paloma Guzmán, Frances Sternhagen
Directed by: Rob Reiner
Oren Little (Douglas) is a realtor who is getting on in years, and all he really wants to do is sell one last house and retire in peace and quiet. He currently as a listing that he is trying to move at just over eight million, but is having some trouble with the listing, as, well, he might have been something in his prime, but Oren is way past that he is getting on, and tired, and well, actually quite nasty to most folks to whom he interacts. Yep, there really are a million reasons not to like this guy, and that's just the way he likes it. Oren is willfully obnoxious to anyone who might cross his path, he claims that this is because his wife died of cancer two years ago, and left him emotionally bereft. Still, that might be a bit of a simple response.
Now Orin is trying to unload the home he shared with his wife, (he is currently living in a rundown apartment complex with a bunch of neighbors he detests), only during the middle of a showing of the house, his estranged son Luke (Scott Shepherd) suddenly shows up, and announces that he is heading to prison (for a crime he apparently didn't actually commit), and needs to drop off Orin's granddaughter Sarah (Jerins) so he can watch her for the six months he is in the pen. Only Orin never knew the girl existed and doesn't quite know how to react, or what to do with her. He attempts to refuse to talk the girl, but as he does so, Orin's next door neighbor, Leah (Keaton) comes to the girl's rescue.
Leah is an overly emotional widow who is still attempting to get past the death of her husband as she attempts to craft a new career for herself as a lounge singer. Against his better judgment (and instincts), Orin starts falling for Leah, even as she cares for his granddaughter. This is a sweet older age love story that is both realistic and sentimental all at the same time. It is fun to watch the curmudgeonly Orin, clueless about how to care for his sweet, abandoned nine-year-old, slowly and stubbornly learn to open his heart — to his family, to Leah, and eventually to life itself. This isn't some kid romantic love story. This is more of a post-adult, yes there can still be passion in your life in your golden years kind of flick, and thus makes it of interest to an older generation, that still desires to go to the movies.

GeoIP and Geo-Targeting
Lately I have been busy with a web-based geo-targeting project. For those of you not familiar with geo-targeting, the deeper you get into geo-targeting, the more you realize how important and interesting it is. Geo-targeting is used for fraud detection, personalization, ad-targeting, content-delivery, and more. In addition, the same basic concept is used […]Read more

Lea Michele is a triple threat in Hollywood. She can sing, dance, and act. She reminds everyone of a young Barbara Streisand. She is extremely talented and shares her talent with the world. Her role in Glee was her breakout role and she has done a fabulous job of portraying Rachel Berry.
Lea Michele's best friend Jonathan Groff interviews Lea and she opens up to her best friend about her strength and her hope to remain happy.
"Since Glee. she has inspired people across the world with her unapologetic ambition, insane talent, and astonishing grace. Me, especially," shares Jonathan Groff.
Jonathan Groff for Teen Vogue: "Sitting here in Venice, it's a far cry from when we met in that dark building in Chelsea, audtioning for Spring Awakening."
Lea Michele: "It's so crazy. If you told me then that now we'd be here doing an interview because I was on the cover of Teen Vogue for my album and you have your show Looking, I would be like..."
Jonathan Groff for Teen Vogue and Lea Michele [simultaneously] "You are crazy!"
Jonathan Groff for Teen Vogue: "And now your debut album is about to be released. It's kind of incredible, huh?"
Lea Michele: "During Glee, I felt like I was scratching that itch of being an artist. I was at a great place in my life and I was so unbelievably happy-my relationship with Cory made me feel like I could reach for the stars and more. So I was like, "I'm going to challenge myself and do this record now." It's obviously pop, but I think it shows me off as a singer."
Jonathan Groff for Teen Vogue: "I feel like I've never heard you sound this way before."
Lea Michele: "It's me. It's Lea. It's not Rachel Berry. It's not Lea on Broadway...
Jonathan Groff for Teen Vogue: "Why is it called Louder?"
Lea Michele: "Louder is like me. I'm loud, I come from an Italian family, I don't stop talking."
JG: "Oh, I know! What's your favorite song on the album? "
LM: "My favorite song is, 100 percent, "You're Mine." I listened to it the other day-it was the one song I had the most emotional reaction to, just because that's my relationship with Cory."
JG: "What was Cory's favorite song?"
LM: "He was such a fan, you don't understand. He would be like, "You're going to be a pop star! What are we going to do? Are we going to, like, go on the road?" He would say, "This is going to be big!" And I'd be like, "I don't know." He heard every song and gave me his notes on everything. He loved "Battlefield." I'm getting chills thinking about it. I would say, "Burn with You" was his favorite. He came into the studio that day.
JG: "I feel like the world has been compassionately watching to see how you would react to what happened. And across the board, you've presented yourself in such a classy way. You really are the quintessential role model. And as your friend, watching you go through what you went through, I saw you exhibit so much strength. Where do you think that strength comes from? I can't comprehend it."
LM: "I somehow feel the insane love Cory and I had for each other morphed into this strength that I have right now. There's just something about knowing he's watching everything I'm doing and feeling like I have to do everything now not just for me but for him. I also have a safety net below me-if I fall or if it's too much, my friends and family will be there to catch me."
JG: "But there must be things you do in your daily life to stay balanced."
LM: "I've always been the kind of person who puts self-care and personal relationships and family before everything. Building strong relationships with people who matter-especially building a strong relationship with yourself-is the most important thing. I've been able to get through this because I worked really hard to get my feet on the ground in life to begin with. If I'd come into this situation in an unstable place as a person, I couldn't be doing what I'm doing. I've been given the position of being a role model for girls, and I take it on with such pride. What I'm dealing with right now is the most unfortunate, horrendous thing in the world, but if I could take anything from it and make it positive, that's the only thing I can do. There is a level of strength in me that people can go their whole lives without touching, but it's there for you to harness and to find. If I could do anything to not make this my reality, I 100 percent would. But this is my situation and I'm going to do whatever I can to make it good for my life and somewhat OK for myself and really beneficial to the people who are watching me. I also have a charity I work with, and I'm really proud of that. Cory and I were very involved in the Chrysalis organization, which is about trying to get people jobs. We went to a lot of its events. He actually got me involved in the first place, so I'm continuing on with it."
JG: "You know we're all here for you."
LM: I've never had a best friend like you. I never had the person who's the person. The person you call, the person who's there, the person who gets you, the person who makes you laugh. You know, that person.
JG: "I never had that either."
LM: "Also, being an only child, I didn't have a sibling to go to if something was wrong. In high school it was the other people who were so close and inseperable. If someone had to be chopped off the friend list, it would most certainly be me. And with you, for the first time, I feel like I'm number one on the list. You are my best friend. There is such relief when you're with the person who gets you the most."
Lea Michele is an amazing person who believes in hope and faith in her future. She believes that she can still be gleefully happy one day. She's a funny girl and inspires girls all over the world. Don't ever stop being you Lea Michele.

According to a report on ESPN, Stephen Ross made a modification to Parcells' contract to allow him leave at any time if he so chooses, and he gets to take the money with him for the remainder of the contract.
How much of this is true is anyone's guess (other than these two and Parcells' agent). But if it is true, it might be a nice compromise. Parcells wanted to work for Wayne and had an out in his contract if he sold the team. So far things look good between the new owner and him. By changing the contract, Ross made an argument for Parcells to stay - "You're running a good football operation, and I don't want you to think that I'm going to force you to stay under contract. Now lets get to business."
And Parcells gets his ego stroked. If things continue to go well, he stays. If he feels Ross isn't playing fair, or is meddling, he leaves.

A Message from the Dean of the School of Psychology
From the Dean: Which Program is Right for You?
As I take on the role of dean for Fuller's School of Psychology, I am grateful for the wonderfully strong foundation laid by my predecessor, former dean Winston Gooden, and those before him. As you explore this website, you'll see what I mean! Clinical excellence, integration leadership, and research innovation—infused with an emphasis on cultural competence and academic distinction—are the pillars that undergird our three doctoral and two master's programs.
Students who join our School of Psychology community do research in areas ranging from brain functioning to family functioning, from intellectual humility to escaping prostitution—in locations from the United States to South America, from China to Africa. Others work with clients of all ages, family constellations, and backgrounds in service with our more than 80 clinical partners across the Los Angeles area. If you are deeply interested in questions of human functioning from a psychological and theological perspective, there is a place for you here.
Our Marriage and Family program, if that's your interest, will cultivate both clinical excellence and deep spiritual formation in you as a student. Everything we do—classes, small groups, retreats, clinical supervision—is built on these two objectives. You will leave us well prepared: a recent survey found that our MFT graduates have the
highest pass rate
in the State of California licensing exam. And if your goal is not licensure but instead to work with families in churches and other nonclinical settings, I invite you to explore our MA in Family Studies program.
At the doctoral level we offer three degrees, each with a different emphasis and career trajectory. Our PsyD program is designed for future psychologists who want to provide therapy to hurting people and administer mental health programs. If you are interested in applying the best knowledge the field of psychology has to offer one clinical case at a time, the PsyD is a great degree for you.
The PhD in clinical psychology is designed for future psychologists with a deep desire to contribute to the research literature. If delving into human functioning is attractive to you—not only through therapeutic work with clients but also in theoretical and statistical modeling—the PhD in clinical psychology is an excellent choice.
Our newest doctoral program, the PhD in psychology (nonclinical), is designed for future psychologists who are interested exclusively in research and teaching, without engaging in the provision of direct clinical services. If you want to work in academia and leave the direct client contact to others, this is the right degree for you.
I think you'll find that every one of our degrees combines the best in psychological science and professionalism with a solid foundation in theology. We have been committed to excellence in the integration of psychology and theology for 50 years, and hope you'll consider joining us as we enter our next 50!

ASK IRA: Is Beasley for Stoudemire possible?
Q: Could you see the Heat trading Beasley for Stoudemire, and then signing Chris Bosh? — Eric.
A: I could see the Heat trying for such a trade with the Suns, but I've been told that Phoenix has little to no interest in Michael. The one thing the Suns raved about this season was chemistry. Michael's big personality would be a test of such chemistry. Plus, after taking Shaq from Micky Arison, I'm not sure Bob Sarver is taking anything else from the Heat. And I doubt Amare and Bosh would sign with the same team, since both would want the paint to themselves.
Q: Going into free agency, don't you think it's time for the Heat to re-think or soften its stance on its defensive culture? The Heat needs offensive players badly. — Ryan.
A: Considering that Stoudemire and Boozer are among the candidates, I don't think there will be any chance but to move aware from defense-or-die. But it will be important that the smaller pieces have a defensive disposition, perhaps Joel Anthony and Raja Bell.
Q: It seems like there are too many dollars and too little talent this summer. Some teams are going to come away from free agency empty handed, even after all the positioning made over the past two, three seasons. Who's to say the Heat isn't one of those teams? — Greg.
A: Because there are destination franchises and franchises of little appeal. Miami and New York will do just fine. The Clippers might be left holding the cap bag, and it will be interesting to see if the Nets' image has changed with its ownership change.
Q: Why would Wade ever re-sign here if he is not OK with Riley as his potential coach? He renounces that control by doing so, as Riley could come down to bench at any time he so chose to. — D-Rod.
A: Dwyane will accept Riley if it means having LeBron alongside. I don't think there is any other free agent that Riley would make the move to the bench for. But I do think Dwyane has trepidations about Riley as coach. The most recent memories of playing for Pat were not the most enjoyable. I still think the odds of Riley leaving his full-time management role are minimal.
Q: Do you think the Heat could land Iguodala and still sign Bosh? Wouldn't that be a dangerous lineup for opponents with Wade, Iggy and Bosh? — Brandon.
A: Now that Doug Collins has taken over as coach of the 76ers, he is talking about Iguodala as more of a keeper than a trade chip. Of course, it's still early.

A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
A Tale of Two Cities Book the Third: The Track of a Storm
Volume III, Chapter One – In Secret Summary
- In 1792, traveling through France is pretty slow going.
- Okay: traveling in the 1700s was pretty slow all the time. We know that. But now it's extra slow. Even slower than before. Sloooooooow.
- Charles, of course, happens to be traveling in 1792.
- He's not getting too far.
- Everywhere he goes, he's stopped. People have to check his papers. Then they have to re-check them.
- Meanwhile, Charles waits for several hours.
- This happens over and over. And over.
- Finally, in the middle of the night, he's taken prisoner by a group of patriots.
- They deliver him to the local authorities, who decide that he's an emigrant and must be sent to Paris immediately.
- When Charles tries to protest, he gets smacked around for a while. Apparently folks have figured out that he's an aristocrat.
- Needless to say, they're not too happy about the news.
- Bundled into a carriage, Charles begins the halting, slow journey to the capital.
- The patriots force him to pay for an armed escort into the capital. After all, anything could happen to him on the road.
- On the way, a man screams out that a decree has been passed: the property of all emigrants can be confiscated by the Republic.
- Charles begins to realize that his trip might just be a bit more complicated than he'd planned.
- The crowds aren't all that pleased to see him pass.
- Some even threaten to kill the aristocrat. Others mutter that he'll be judged when he gets to Paris.
- Friendly country, huh?
- At the gates of the city, a guardsman asks for the papers of the prisoner.
- Charles isn't too excited about the fact that he's gone from being a traveler to an emigrant to a prisoner.
- Sure enough, he's taken to the prison.
- Defarge is there. He identifies Charles as "Citizen Evrémonde."
- The officer holding Charles's papers looks at him, nods, and condemns him to prison.
- Aghast, Charles wants to know why.
- He's done nothing wrong—nothing against the law.
- The man smiles grimly. He informs Charles that there are new laws now.
- In fact, under these laws, emigrants have no rights at all.
- As they walk away, Defarge quietly asks Charles if he's Doctor Manette's son-in-law.
- Charles says he is.
- Desperate, Charles turns to Defarge and begs for help.
- Defarge refuses. It's not in his power.
- Charles asks if he'll be imprisoned without trial or any attention to justice.
- Sniffing a bit, Defarge says that many people have been unfairly imprisoned before.
- Charles responds, "But not by me."
- Defarge looks darkly at him for a minute, then walks in silence.
- Charles asks for one favor: that Defarge would tell Mr. Lorry that Charles has been imprisoned in La Force.
- Refusing, Defarge declares that he's a patriot. He can do nothing to help aristocrats.
- With that, Defarge turns Charles over to the gaoler of La Force.
- The prison isn't that great a place to be. It's smelly and dark and all-around disgusting.
- Within the prison, Charles is greeted by faded aristocrats who crowd against him in the small rooms.
- They're almost ghostly; their courtly manners are… just a bit creepy in this dismal location.
- Charles ends up in a small tower. He begs the gaoler to sell him a pen and paper.
- The gaoler refuses. At present, the only thing Charles can buy is food.
- Left alone in his cell, Charles begins to pace frantically.
People who Shmooped this also Shmooped...

When the H.E.A.R.T.S. Surgical Utility Vehicle hits town Feb. 1 to perform about 60 spay/neuter surgeries on the pets of seniors and low-income residents, more than half will find that the $20 fee has already been paid for them.
That's $20 these lucky folks will be able to keep for groceries, pet food, utility bills and other necessities.
Major donations from Heart of Georgia Humane Society, which donated $300, and Rivoli Realty, which stepped up with a $200 donation, along with private residents who are adding to the pot, will pay for about 37 of the surgeries.
The H.E.A.R.T.S. SUV will be in town Feb. 1 and 2 to perform the surgery, give rabies shots and microchip the pets. Slots for this visit are already filled, but Susan Brantley Helton, the local Ambassador for the unit, says they'll be back.
Atlanta Humane Society, with grant money from the Holland M. Ware Foundation, sends the self-contained mobile unit to various areas of Georgia for clinics like this to help reduce the number of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens that inundate Georgia animal control shelters. While springtime is often the worst, since dogs and cats can go into heat more than once a year, unwanted litters are a continual problem that results in thousands of puppies and kittens dying year around in shelters that quickly run out of room for them.
In Macon, 60 pets will not be contributing to the onslaught of unwanted litters this year, thanks to Helton, AHS and GEICO Kennel Club.
Note: While this article was being written, more donors pledged to help pay the $20 fee for others to get their pets altered for free. Volunteers and supporters hope enough donations come in to pay for all of the procedures.
UPDATE: All of the spay/neuter surgeries for Feb. 1 and 2 have now been paid for by donors! County Commissioner Joe Allen pledged to pay for the final 13 unpaid slots. That means none of the residents whose pets will be spayed or neutered at this event will have to pay anything. A big thank you to all the donors who made this possible!
The first visit from the H.E.A.R.T.S. SUV will be at GEICO, thanks to the generosity of that company and the GEICO Kennel Club. Adrianne Stack Moore of GEICO helped plan the event.
Plans are for the unit to return to this area every three months. We will let you know the dates as soon as we get them, with instructions on how to apply for an appointment.

In Clinton, the latest installment in the critically acclaimed and successful series of presidential biographies, American Experience explores the fascinating story of an American president who rose from a broken childhood in Arkansas to become one of the most successful politicians in modern American history and one of the most complex and conflicted characters to ever stride across the public stage.

The Capital Region Preview of
A Powerful Story of Six Months in 1961 That Changed America Forever
A powerful and harrowing story featuring testimony from the Riders themselves, state and federal government officials, and journalists who witnessed the Rides firsthand.
WMHT in partnership with The Sage Colleges proudly present the Capital Region preview of the new PBS American Experience documentary, Freedom Riders.
Fifty years ago, more than 400 courageous Americans risked their lives, endured savage beatings and imprisonment, for simply traveling together on buses and trains through the Deep South. Deliberately violating Jim Crow laws, the Freedom Riders' belief in non-violent activism, was sorely tested as they encountered mob violence and bitter racism along the way.
Following the preview screening, Sage hosted a community conversation featuring a panel of veterans of the Southern Civil Rights Movement along with music from the era by a group of gospel singers and the Sagettes.

SAN DIEGO, Cali. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – They can cause seizures, comas, and even death – but you can buy them online, at gas stations or even in certain stores. We're talking about "legal highs."
You can smoke them, or swallow them. Toxicologist Richard Clark says the new ways to abuse drugs are all legal.
"Some people call these legal highs," Richard Clark, MD, Director of Toxicology, UC San Diego Health System, told Ivanhoe.
"Bath salts" are synthetic drugs made in underground labs and marketed as household items. Last year – close to 1,000 people reported exposure to poison control centers.
"The patients we saw with 'bath salts' had significantly more violence, and significantly more self-harm behavior," Dr. Clark said.
Synthetic marijuana is another designer drug made by spraying natural herbs with synthetic chemicals to mimic the effects of marijuana. But, it's very potent and dangerous. In 2010, more than 11,000 ER visits were associated with its use.
"What we end up seeing with people with this new synthetic marijuana is violence, and an occasional convulsion," Dr. Clark said.
You use them when you're sick, but some are taking cough syrup to get high. One study found one in ten American teens abused products with DXM, an ingredient found in these meds. However, at high doses the drug can cause vomiting, impaired vision, memory loss, and even a coma.
Another legal drug being abused is Benadryl.
"People have Benadryl parties in lots of places in the United States," Dr. Clark explained.
The antihistamine can spark hallucinations in high doses and too much could also cause seizures and death. The bottom line when it comes to legal highs?
"They could kill themselves," Dr. Clark said.
Lawmakers have tried to make some of the ingredients in many of these drugs illegal. In fact—president Obama signed a federal law to ban "bath salts." However, experts say many of the makers and manufacturers have found ways to slightly alter the chemical makeup of their products – so they remain legal highs.

Prosperity & Infinite Energy Meditation Technique – Free Guided Meditation Book for Daily Practice – Ch 5
Wealth & Prosperity Meditation Technique
Free Meditation & Kundalini Yoga Mudras for Prosperity
Prosperity Meditation Guided Video
(From Free Online Meditation Videos, chapter 4 Prosperity Mudra Mantra Meditation Video)
Background of Prosperity Meditation Technique:
Recently I have received many requests to provide a meditation technique for prosperity and wealth. The guided meditation technique in this article not only meets that requirement, but in fact does a great deal more for you as well. My views on money on the path to enlightenment and views on how to choose and manifest your desires, can be read in the following 2 articles: Money Money Money Mantra and the Path to Enlightenment and The 4 Keys Laws to Manifest Desire if You Absolutely Must. If you feel money and wealth are indeed needed by you at this time of your life, then by all means use this potent meditation technique to manifest them.
This powerful meditation technique utilizes many different components of Kundalini Yoga and Yoga Philosophy to work its magic. It uses the power of mantra (sound/thought vibration), yoga mudras (hand positions to facilitate certain states of consciousness), pranayama (breath control techniques), in conjunction with yogic body techniques to fulfill its purpose. Thus, this unique meditation can also be categorized as a Kundalini Yoga Kriya (set) or a Yoga Breathing Exercise (pranayama).
Tools required for Prosperity Meditation Technique:
- An alarm clock, stop watch or other time device.
Benefits of Prosperity Meditation Technique:
Primary Benefits:
- Attracts and brings to you prosperity, wealth and money.
- Makes available to you the Energy of the Infinite. Please use wisely.
- Attracts and brings to you gifts and blessings.
- Expands and strengthens your Pranic (energetic) body.
- Expands and strengthens your nervous system.
- Helps you overcome deep seated fears (including fear of death) and makes you courageous.
- Builds the Naval Center and abdominal muscles.
Secondary Benefits:
- Opens, heals and rejuvenates the Manipura (Nabhi – Naval) Chakra.
- Improves your digestive system.
- Builds your willpower and strength of character.
Cautions for Practicing Prosperity Meditation Technique:
As mentioned above, this meditation technique utilizes breath control (pranayama) as part of its process. It requires breath suspension after exhalation, which is one of the more difficult aspects of breath control. Anytime you are going to practice breath suspension, especially after exhalation, you need to move forward gently and intelligently. So Do Not Strain and build up the time for this meditation systematically. In doing so you will avoid creating unnecessary problems for yourself and will gracefully gain mastery over this profound meditation technique.
Guided Prosperity Meditation Technique:
Follow the step by step meditation instructions below to practice this technique.
- Sit in a comfortable cross legged position. You may also sit on a chair for this meditation.
- Set your alarm or other time device for the appropriate time (start with 1 minute and build up to 11 minutes or more).
- Elongate your spine upwards, lengthen your neck and subtly bring your chin back and in, like a soldier at attention. This will align the spine with the back of your head.
- Take 5 deep, slow breaths though the nose. This will oxygenate your blood and relax you.
- Place your LEFT hand in Yoga Gyan Mudra (your INDEX finger and Thumb tips are meeting, other 3 fingers are pointing straight)
- Extend your left arm up at 60 degrees. Your palm is facing in towards you and the arm should be straight.
- Place your RIGHT hand in Yoga Surya Mudra (your RING finger and Thumb tips are meeting, other 3 finger are pointing straight)
- Bend your right arm such that your right elbow is near your lower ribs, on the right side of your body, with your forearm making a small angle at your right elbow joint. The right palm is also facing in (and will be about face level).
- Close your eyes.
- Inhale deeply, then EXHALE completely and hold your breath out.
- With your breath held out pump your stomach at a moderate pace about 1 pump / second. Pump your stomach means to pull in your abdominal muscles powerfully towards your spine.
- With each pump silently THINK the sound HAR.
- Once your have done as many pumps as you are comfortable doing, inhale deeply, then EXHALE and repeat the cycle again. Continue for the duration of the meditation.
Hints & Tips for Prosperity Meditation Technique:
- I repeat, start this meditation slowly and build up your time systematically.
- When you start to feel stronger and more capable of holding your breath out for extended periods of time, challenge the sense of panic that comes upon you as a result of breath deprivation. Staying calm through this period of panic will make you fearless. DO NOT TRY THIS UNTIL YOU THINK YOU ARE READY FOR IT.
- Try to keep the arms as indicated and don't give up at the first sign of discomfort. Again, don't overdo it early in your practice, but as you progress let the mind and body know that you have the willpower and spirit to overcome their complaints.
- This meditation is designed to give you a great deal of power, energy and wealth. It is provided here with the understanding that you agree not to misuse any of these blessings and agree to use them to make progress on your spiritual journey and/or use them to help others in theirs.
This concludes the Prosperity & Energy Guided Meditation Technique.
(Added 08/30/2007)
Here are some illustrations for the correct posture and yoga mudras (hand positions) for this meditation as I realize this meditation can be quite confusing. Way over due I know :-P.

PEORIA, Ill. - Creighton rallied for four runs in the ninth inning to even its Missouri Valley Conference series at Bradley (25-18-1, 8-9 MVC) as the Bluejays (17-23, 4-12 MVC) earned a 7-4 victory Saturday afternoon at O'Brien Field.
The visitors used two hit batters, a walk, an error, two sacrifice bunts and two base hits to rally from a 4-3 deficit and send Bradley to its first loss this season when leading after eight innings. Bradley was 22-0 this year when it took a lead to the ninth. Closer Danny Gifford (4-1) managed to record just one out against the seven batters he faced in the ninth to take the loss.
Creighton second baseman Jake Peter drove in the tying run with a single up the middle and designated hitter Brennan Murphy drove home the go-ahead run on a safety squeeze bunt. Chance Ross followed with an RBI double and Murphy came around to score when right fielder Bob Schuch's throw to second got away.
The ninth-inning collapse spoiled a strong effort by Bradley starter Justin Ziegler, who held the Bluejays to three runs on five hits in his 6.0 innings. Aided by first baseman Jerrod Eigsti's first career home run, a 2-run blast in the second inning and a bases loaded base on balls by catcher Derek Sprout in the fifth that put the Braves in front, Ziegler turned a 4-3 lead over to the the usually reliable bullpen.
Rob Kennedy worked around a leadoff single to pitch a scoreless seventh and senior right-hander Jacob Booden fanned two in a scoreless eighth inning.
The fifth pitcher of the game for Creighton, side-arming right-hander Reese McGraw (3-5), threw two perfect innings to earn the win.
The teams will play the rubber game in their 3-game weekend series with a 1 p.m. game Sunday at O'Brien Field. It will be Mom's Day at the ballpark, where the Braves will be wearing pink uniforms for Breast Cancer Awareness. The first 100 fans also will receive pink t-shirts and the Bradley Baseball mothers will join Bradley University President Joanne Glasser for a ceremonial first pitch.

Late in the third quarter, with Arkansas well in front, the Razorbacks faced a third-down and goal inside the five. Quarterback Ryan Mallett took the snap and was flushed to his left. With the play breaking down, instead of taking a sack or throwing the ball away, Mallett stepped up and headed for the goal line lunging forward and reaching the ball over the goal line.
Was this a new look for the 6-foot-7 quarterback? Mallett showed the guts of a player who wanted to win badly. Only one thing mattered, and that was getting to the goal line. Even though the play was called back on a penalty, it was a sign of what is to come for this Razorback football team.
The Razorbacks encountered plenty of fight from the Golden Eagles of Tennessee Tech, and, after trailing early, scored 44 unanswered points to get the win, 44-3. Much of the reason was the play of the much-heralded quarterback from Texarkanna.
Mallett finished the game 21-for-23 and 301 yards passing with three touchdowns and one interception. The high percentage is a new wrinkle in Mallett's game.
For his career, Mallet has a 53% completion percentage, but in this one game, Mallett completed 87.5% of his passes. Mallett showed the poise and patience to pass to his "check-down" receivers such as Senior All-American D.J. Williams. The result led to a higher percentage and kept the Hogs moving down the field.
Mallett still showed his ability to hit the deep pass, but tonight, he showed that he has the patience to let the game come to him, and with his receivers, a short pass can lead to a long touchdown pass.
