WWE Superstar Shawn Michaels Talks About His New Book And Wrestling
In Wrestling for My Life, WWE superstar Shawn Michaels shares from his heart about the highs and lows of his life inside the WWE. Included are some never-before-shared stories and an intimate look into his career as well as stories of hunting, family, and faith.
With millions of fans, Michaels had adulation and all the attention he could ask for, but he discovered there was something more. When he became a committed Christian during his years in the WWE it had to affect everything. Michaels reveals what it is like to be a man of faith in this unusual world and shares insights for all of us.
You can win a copy of the book by following MANjr. on Twitter. Winners will be randomly selected. Here is Shawn sharing some thoughts on his book.
Your first book Heartbreak & Triumph: The Shawn Michaels Story came out a decade ago and was a bestseller. Why did you decide to write another autobiography, and how is this one different?
Shawn Michaels: Writing Heartbreak & Triumph was such a rewarding experience. Looking back on my wrestling career and describing my climb the top of an extremely competitive sport helped me better understand who I was, where I'd been, and how I fit into the legacy of the WWE. Plus, I got a kick out of knowing that the details and explanations I offered would mean a lot to fans out there, many of whom have followed my career so loyally for so long.
My new book, Wrestling for My Life, raises the stakes a bit, I think. While Heartbreak & Triumph was a mix of professional and personal reflections, Wrestling for My Life is extremely personal — almost wholly so. That doesn't mean I don't talk about wrestling. After all, it's a big part of who I am, and it always will be. I just talk about my career in the context of this incredibly personal thing: my faith. The book focuses on my life as a Christian — what that has meant for me and my family, and how it even happened in the first place.
Why did you feel compelled to write about your faith?
SM: For so much of my career, I was known — loved and hated — for being crude, arrogant, and offensive. It was part of the character I played, sure. But the bad guy I portrayed started swallowing up the real me, too.
Becoming a Christian gave me the second chance I never dreamed was possible. I want to talk about that. If the Creator of the universe loves and wants to save a punk like I was, what does that mean — not just for me, but for everyone else, too? I want to share that kind of life-changing story with people.
Yes , you write that as a pro wrestler, you liked being loved, but you may have liked being hated even more. Why?
SM: I enjoyed making people react. I really fed off of the energy it created. Of course, I came to realize that as much as some fans hated me, I hated myself more.
When did you realize that you actually hated yourself that you wanted your life to change?
SM: I hit rock bottom. I was married to the love of my life, Rebecca, and our son Cameron had just turned two. Our Friday night ritual was pizza and chocolate chip cookies, and we all loved it. I had a habit of pills — years of wrestling had beaten up my body, so excuses to take them were easy to find. I was really out of it one Friday night, and Cameron noticed. He crawled on top of me and said, "Daddy's tired."
I go into more detail in the book. Basically, I was in a fog — and it hit me that my son was starting to notice. I was messing up his life now — not just mine. I broke down that night, disgusted with myself, and just prayed. I asked God to change me.
Your wife Rebecca has been quite a force in your life, hasn't she?
ASM: Rebecca prayed for me loyally and constantly, while remaining supportive and nonjudgmental. She never nagged me about God. It's not that she didn't want me to change. She definitely did. She just took her concerns to God. Out of the two of us, she got serious about her faith first — started attending a Bible study, and just exuded peace. I'm eternally grateful for her.
You grew up going to church, but you say you didn't become a Christian until 2002. Can you explain what you mean?
SM: Yes, I grew up Catholic. I was even an altar boy, which will probably hard for some of my fans to imagine. As a grown man, I did not live a Christian life. I didn't have a relationship with Jesus.
I had what I can only describe as a spiritual experience while I was hunting in the Texas Hill Country. I knew I needed something else in my life — something big. For me, that was Jesus. Once it really hit me that he gave his life for me, I wanted to follow him in every way I could. It was a revelation. And it was liberating. All of the stuff that used to matter — fame, money, excess — just didn't appeal to me at all anymore. I became focused on my family and trying to please God in any way I could.
What appealed to you most about Jesus?
SM: Jesus was tough, man. I mean that physically, of course, but also emotionally and mentally. At first, I was stunned by Jesus's physical strength — all that he endured. As I grew in my faith, I became more and more awestruck by his emotional and mental toughness, which came across in the compassion and forgiveness he so generously gave others who really let him down. Even though I know I can't ever live up to the way Jesus lived, he's my goal.
You've retired from wrestling twice. Can you talk about the decision to go back?
SM: The first time I retired in 1998, I was forced to stop wrestling because of injury. Vince asked me to come back in 2002, first just part-time. My family supported my decision to go back — that was key. And I prayed about it, trusting that God would show me what I was supposed to do. It became pretty clear to me that I was supposed to start wrestling again. The next year, I went back to wrestling full-time, which I continued to do until 2010.
At first, I was really worried that I wouldn't be as strong physically as I'd once been. I didn't want to return a weaker wrestler. Those concerns soon disappeared. Today, I genuinely feel that I can argue I was a better wrestler and performer in the second part of my career than the first.
What was it like to return to wrestling after becoming a Christian?
SM: Well, I wasn't a Bible-thumping, in-your-face kind of guy about it. But I knew they'd heard that I'd become a Christian, and I wanted them to see firsthand how my faith had changed me.
It was an incredible opportunity to show how God can make a life better in a place where he wasn't routinely discussed. Here were all these guys with vastly different backgrounds who wouldn't have necessarily sought God out, but could discover him, ask me questions without feeling weird, and learn more about what having God in your life means — all backstage at a WWE match. Pretty awesome.
I also hoped viewers and fans would notice and wonder why I was different. It provided an incredible opportunity to show millions of people what God can do.
Did you ever feel torn between trying to please the wrestling community and following your faith?
SM: At first, I was really intimidated about making my two separate worlds coexist.
When I returned to wrestling for the second time in 2002 — the same year I became a Christian — the environment was very different than it'd been in earlier years. Everyone at WWE was so accepting of my Christianity. I also noticed that the locker room culture in particular had changed. The guys felt freer — they shared more and admitted to feeling insecure or confused. Picture this: a bunch of wrestlers getting ready to head to the ring, gathering together and praying first. It happened, and I'll cherish the memories of it forever.
Vince McMahon and his family were incredibly supportive of me. I did sometimes find it hard to reconcile my public persona with the expectations of fans and other Christians — but that wasn't Vince's fault. That was something I had to work through, as a new Christian, on my own. One situation in particular comes to mind. I said the word "damn" in a promo for an upcoming match, all as part of a storyline I was working on with my best friend Hunter — Triple H. I thought that since I was acting — just playing a part — it'd be no big deal. But a lot of people were really disappointed in me.
My dear friend Keith Parker pulled me aside after our Bible study once the spots had run and asked me about my decision. At first, Keith's questions kind of rubbed me the wrong way. But later that evening, I realized he was so right. By making a compromise — even one that seemed pretty insignificant like uttering a single word — I was weakening my ability to share my story.
You talk a lot about Vince McMahon in a book about spirituality — that may surprise some people.
SM: Vince has always been incredibly loyal to me. He's stuck by me through good times and bad — when I was actually a liability. He's really nothing like the way he portrays himself on TV. I'm honored to know him. I do still love giving him a hard time, though — just because I'm a Christian now doesn't mean I don't like having a little fun at Vince's expense every now and then. (Laughs.)
You also revisit famous and infamous episodes in your wrestling career in light of your newfound faith. What was that process like for you?
SM: Yeah, I felt like it was one of the most important things for the book to accomplish: looking at my past in light of my faith. The Montreal Screwjob is a perfect example. It's still the biggest controversy in the history of pro wrestling. In 1997, my rival Bret Hart was set to lose his final match in his home country of Canada. He'd made it very clear that he would not give up his belt to me, but Vince decided behind the scenes that that was exactly what would happen. So, Bret lost to me in Canada, and was humiliated in front of his countrymen. Understandably, he was furious, and up until relatively recently, Vince had taken just about all of the heat for what happened.
The thing is, I knew all about it. I was in on what happened. After I became a Christian, I gave an interview, and I could not lie about it anymore. So I came clean, and admitted my role.
At the time, Bret and I were not on speaking terms. We hadn't been for years. Our path to forgiveness and reconciliation was long and difficult. Bret has described our ultimate peace as "cathartic," and I think that's a perfect way to put it. I also don't believe it would have happened with God.
You talk a lot about forgiveness in the book.
SM: Yes. I like to say, "Forgiveness brings freedom." I think there are two types of freedom. The first kind is the kind that says, "Okay, I have freewill. I'm going to do whatever I want." That's the kind of freedom that you have to give up in order to get the second kind of freedom, which comes only from God. It's freedom from guilt and shame, and in return, you have a gratitude and peace that's indescribable. It probably goes without saying, but just in case: I think the second type of freedom is way better than the first. And I'd definitely know.
You're very candid about all kinds of difficulties you've experienced, both before you became a Christian and afterward. Some of your troubles included financial stress. Why did you feel like that was important to include that?
SM: My family has been incredibly blessed, financially and otherwise. But yes, we did have some trying times with an investment, and it took two years for our home in San Antonio sell. That was tough. I wanted to address it specifically because I think it's important to acknowledge that once you start following God, your life doesn't instantly become trouble-free.
The stressful times we have are reminders to trust God — even when it's so tempting to take matters into your own hands.
You've also been really successful cohosting a hunting show on the Outdoor Channel, right? Why hunting?
SM: Yes, along with my great friend Keith Mark, I have cohosted MacMillan River Adventures for the past four years. I enjoy that show so much — it's hard work, the extent of which I don't think I completely realized when I signed on. (Laughs.) When I'm outdoors, I feel close to God.
Wrestling for My Life is a personal story, but you also make some observations about contemporary society's expectations of men. Can you talk about that?
SM: I worry that as so many men chase what culture says is "cool" and expected today, they've abandoned virtues that really matter, like grace, forgiveness, character, and integrity. In fact, I think that men who embody those virtues are often publicly mocked. Our society needs more men who will stand up and be warriors of strength and grace — no matter which way the wind is blowing.
What are your primary goals these days?
SM: I'm in the process of continually being changed for the better. Becoming a Christian gave me a confidence I'd never experienced before — it's also given me an overwhelming peace. I don't need to be the center of attention anymore. I don't need to be relevant. I am working to be the best husband and father I can. I'm constantly pursuing being transformed into the man God wants me to be.

Guinness and Brad Paisley Want to Raise Funds for Firefighters Nationwide
Guinness USA continues its quest to support local firefighters across the country by trying to raise $1 million by St. Patrick's Day 2015. In year three of its partnership with The Leary Firefighters Foundation (LFF), the Guinness brand ups the ante with its fundraising initiative by releasing a series of limited-edition, firefighter inspired t-shirts, one of which is designed in collaboration with country music superstar Brad Paisley, as a tribute to firefighters everywhere.
The Guinness St. Patrick's Day initiative is to inspire bolder choices and celebrate those of great character and heroism who want to be and do more – qualities firefighters showcase each and every day. Throughout this year's initiative, Guinness has also been raising a pint responsibly with local community events in honor of those who make great contributions to their communities – such as community leaders, military personnel, EMS workers, and of course, firefighters.
Patrons of legal drinking age are invited to celebrate National Raise Your Glass Day on Thursday, Feb. 26, by sharing a photo of their Guinness pint on Twitter, tagging @GuinnessUS, or post it on the Guinness US Facebook page. In addition to the Guinness iconic stout, Guinness® BlondeTM American Lager is perfect for those who prefer a lager but still want to raise a pint of Guinness for a good cause. For each photo posted, Guinness will donate $1 (up to $100,000) towards its fundraising effort in support of firefighters. From servicemen to firefighters to local volunteers, everyone has the potential to do more.
This year, the Guinness brand is also teaming up with Paisley to add his own spin to one of the firefighter-inspired t-shirts available for purchase with all net proceeds benefiting The LFF. Paisley comes from a family of firefighters including his father and brother-in-law who have loyally served their communities. With strong roots in the firefighter community and a long history of supporting these men and women, Paisley makes a perfect addition to the Guinness brand's St. Patrick's Day 2015 fundraising initiative.
"My father was a volunteer firefighter and showed me at an early age the sacrifices made every day by firefighters and how important what they do is to their communities," said Paisley, who offered artistic input on one t-shirt's design. "I'm so excited to be a part of the Guinness initiative knowing their work with The LFF has such an impact on the safety, effectiveness and overall lives of firefighters."
From now until St. Patrick's Day, t-shirts will be available for a $20 donation amount through more than 1,700 in-bar events held across the country and at GuinnessGivesBack.com – the online hub for all philanthropic efforts surrounding the Guinness brand's commitment to local firefighters. All net proceeds raised will go towards The LFF to provide the much needed funding and resources for fire departments nationwide to receive equipment, technology and training necessary for the continued health and well-being of firefighters.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with Guinness for the third consecutive year to support local firefighters across the country," said Denis Leary, founder of The Leary Firefighters Foundation. "The Guinness brand's commitment to honoring these men and women who go above and beyond to help their communities has been fantastic. With the help of partners like Guinness, the LFF has been able to implement initiatives such as a First Responder leadership development program for fire departments in Boston, New York and Worcester, MA as well as donating more than $260,000 worth of fire and safety equipment to the Detroit Fire Department. We look forward to accomplishing even more this year."
To learn more about National Raise Your Glass Day and the Guinness brand's dedication to firefighters, make a donation, or to purchase a limited-edition t-shirt, visit GuinnessGivesBack.com.
Guinness reminds everyone raising a glass in support of firefighters and all of the men and women who do more for our communities every day, to please do so responsibly.

My Guy
This poem is about the people I love, as this is callaborative, please write a chapter about the love or crush in your life.
I met you
You were just a friend
Cool, funny, a list with no end
But now I cannot shake this feeling
Because my eyes are finally seeing
You're the one for me
You're sweet, so funny,
You finally hugged me!
You gorgeously cool
Totally rule this school
You're gorgeous and lovely
And all mine!
My heart is singing
And it's song's devine
You don't pretend
You're someone you're not
And when I'm with you
My heart stops
Your world isn't perfect
Neither is mine
But somehow being together seems to stop time
My troubles melt away to nothing
There really is no hope in bluffing
You're the guy for me
And I love you, My georgeous Tom C.

During this day, the sun stays on top for a longer period of time than it usually does on other days, which in turn means more hours of daylight. The term or word Solstice has been derived from the old Latin word Solstitium which translates to "the sun stands still".During the solstice, the sun appears to have stopped in the sky. This essentially just means that the sun stops moving any further northward after it reaches the tropic of cancer, after which the journey of the sun begins southwards.
In the southern hemisphere, the summer solstice falls on the 22nd of December which is actually the winter solstice for the northern hemisphere. The summer solstice occurred in 2015 on 21 June on 16:38 UTC.Here are a few facts about the 2015 summer solstice that you didn't know;
- On the 21st of June 2015 the shadow cast by the sun at noon will be the shortest ever, if you are located in the northern hemisphere.
- The summer solstice day was also warmer as the rays of the sun fall directly at a sharp angle to the ground.
- While the summer solstice brings the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, the same day is naturally the shortest in the southern hemisphere.
- The Stonehenge monument located in England hosts many visitors who go there to observe the great sight each year.
- The summer solstice has religious significance for our Christian brothers and sisters as it was this day which marks the birth of St. John the Baptist. Many pagan bonfire rituals are also held on this day.
- In the city of New York, thousands gather at the Times Square to perform yoga and meditate starting from sunrise to sunset. The summer solstice day of 2015 is also the international Yoga day.
- Additionally 21 June or summer solstice day was also Fathers day which made the day a tri event, and gave fathers around the world a little more time to celebrate their day.

BeschreibungSeminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, University of Bayreuth (Institut für Philosophie), course: Integration of philosophy and economics, language: English, abstract: ¿Every day, in every industrialized country of the world, journalists and politicians give out a conscious and unconscious message. It is that better economic performance means more happiness for a nation. This idea is rarely questioned. We feel we would be more cheery if our boss raised our pay, and assume that countries must be roughly the same. The results in this paper suggest that, in a developed nation, economic progress buys only a small amount of extra happiness.¿ (Oswald 1997, p. 1827) Based on Oswald¿s introductory statement, this paper is going further than refuting the assumption that a certain kind of utility is solely contingent on absolute earnings. With the interpretation of utility as happiness, it would mean for the aggregate economy as well as for the individual that income secures happiness with a rising tendency. Having started with Oswald, another economist with well-known findings has to be made mention of: Richard Easterlin, who constructed the hypothesis that from a certain threshold of developmental achievements on, economic growth is of minor significance to the overall life satisfaction of a nation. The so-called Easterlin paradox originally arose as data on richer citizens within a country displayed a higher level of subjective well-being and led to the assumption that ¿economic growth improve[s] the human lot¿ (Easterlin 1974). Nevertheless, a comparison amongst well-developed states and over time revealed that there¿s little difference of each population with regard to happiness. Thus, it appears that not the absolute but relative wealth is of import to life satisfaction in crossindividual and cross-stratum comparisons. Even though it never gained as much attention as its foreshadowing counterpart by Easterlin, the phenomenon is also denoted as the ¿relative deprivation theory¿ (Oswald 1999, p. 360), pointing out the state of deprived happiness poorer individuals in a society suffer.

Phylogeny of Streptomyces species and evidence for horizontal transfer of entire and partial antibiotic gene clusters

The phylogenetic relationships of a collection of streptomycete soil isolates and type strains were resolved by sequence analysis of trpB,a housekeeping gene involved in tryptophan biosynthesis. The analysis confirmed that two isolates were recipients in a gene transfer event, demonstrated by phylogenetic incongruency between trpB and strB1 trees. One strain had acquired the entire streptomycin biosynthetic cluster, whilst the other contained only strRAB1, the resistance gene and two flanking genes from the cluster. Sequence analysis of trpB, as part of a polyphasic approach, was a useful tool in determining intra-generic relationships within the genus Streptomyces.

Basel Process
The Basel Process refers to the role of the BIS in hosting and supporting the work of the international secretariats engaged in standard setting and the pursuit of financial stability. Co-location at the BIS facilitates communication and collaboration among these groups as well as their interaction with central bank Governors and other senior officials in the context of the BIS's regular meetings programme. The BIS also supports the work of these committees and associations with its expertise in economic research and its practical experience in banking.
The outcomes of the Basel Process are visible to the public in the form of committee reports that analyse specific topics and, as regards the work of the standard-setting committees, in the form of internationally agreed standards. International agreement is the precondition for globally consistent standards. But it does not substitute for national legislation. In order to become binding, the agreements reached in Basel have to be approved and implemented at the national level, following due regulatory and legislative processes in each individual jurisdiction.
The Basel Process is based on three key features: in addition to the synergies of co-location mentioned above, these are flexibility and openness in the exchange of information, and support from BIS expertise in the field of economics, banking and regulation.
Synergies. The BIS hosts the secretariats of nine groups that contribute to the pursuit of financial stability.
These groups have their own respective governance arrangements and reporting lines.
Various groupings of central banks and supervisory authorities set the agendas of the following six groups:
- The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS): the global standard setter for the prudential regulation of banks that provides a forum for cooperation on banking supervisory matters. Its mandate is to strengthen the regulation, supervision and practices of banks worldwide with the purpose of enhancing financial stability.
- The Committee on the Global Financial System (CGFS): monitors and analyses the broad issues relating to financial markets and systems.
- The Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI): analyses and sets standards for payment, clearing and settlement infrastructures.
- The Markets Committee: examines the functioning of financial markets.
- The Central Bank Governance Forum: comprises the Central Bank Governance Network, which facilitates the exchange of information on institutional arrangements and the Central Bank Governance Group, which discusses issues related to the design and operation of central banks.
- The Irving Fisher Committee on Central Bank Statistics (IFC): addresses statistical issues of concern to central banks, including those relating to economic, monetary and financial stability.
In addition, the BIS hosts three groups that have their own legal personality:
- the Financial Stability Board (FSB);
- the International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI); and
- the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS).
The physical proximity of these different groups at the BIS creates synergies that, regardless of the variation in governance arrangements, produce a broad and fruitful exchange of ideas.
Flexibility. The limited size of these groups is conducive to flexibility and openness in the exchange of information, thereby facilitating coordination and preventing overlaps and gaps in their work programmes. At the same time, their output is much larger than their limited size would suggest, as they are able to leverage the expertise of the international community of central bankers, financial regulators and supervisors, and other international and national public authorities.
Supportive BIS expertise and experience. The work of the Basel-based committees is informed by the BIS's economic research and, where appropriate, by the practical experience it gains from the implementation of regulatory standards and financial controls in its banking activities.
The work of the groups that are part of the Basel Process is shared more widely through various channels.
The Bank's own Financial Stability Institute (FSI) facilitates the dissemination of the standard-setting bodies' work to central banks and financial sector supervisory and regulatory agencies through its extensive programme of meetings, seminars and online tutorials.

Caitlin: Rebel's ReapersMature
After the song finished, I stepped up to the stage.
"Tonight we have something a little special for you. The new girl in hell, with a voice to die for, Caitlin"
I smiled at the introduction from Alex, and stepped into the spotlight. I was aware of the murmur of appreciation from the men as I adjusted the mic. I was tall, and slim like a lot of Reapers. I was dressed in black skinny jeans and a skin-tight tank top which showed the swirling tattoo down my arm. A long knife ran to mid-way down my thigh. My hair tumbled down my back in loose curls, a dark black-red. My eyes were unusual in that they were a deep emerald green. I always wore eyeliner, which accentuated their almond shape. I had been blessed (ironically) with stunning good looks, and a voice to match.
The band struck the opening chords and I began to sing a ballad. Slowly, the whole club stopped to listen. A few couples began slow-dancing on the floor. When the song was done, people began to clap. I slipped quietly offstage and the band thanked me before carrying on with their set. I sat chatting to Alex, an old friend of mine, when Crimson appeared, grinning evilly.
"I don't think we have met?" I said boldly, giving her my most stunning smile. "I'm Caitlin. Get on the wrong side of me and I'll kick that ass of yours back to where it came from."

Major League Baseball invited NSHSS high school and college members with an eye on their future career to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with Human Resource representatives from all 30 MLB Clubs, the Minor League, and other MLB networks at their MLB Diversity Summit. Attendees even met some of the League's prestigious owners.
Ten NSHSS high school and college scholars were awarded a scholarship that included the registration fee and a guaranteed interview at the 2014 Diversity Summit. NSHSS scholar Robert Gorney, a senior at Howell High School in New Jersey, said, "Hearing Yankees Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Cashman, talking to the Chicago Cubs, and meeting representatives from the farm teams was a great experience."
Baseball hosts 2,500 live events annually. From information technology to television production to baseball operations, a career in baseball offers a unique and challenging career path in one of the most exciting and competitive industries.
"NSHSS provided an opportunity for my son to attend the 2014 MLB Diversity conference in New York. This conference was a great opportunity for my son to network with executives from around Major League Baseball and their affiliates. The one on one interviews set up by NSHSS were incredible growth opportunities for him. I am thankful to NSHSS for providing this opportunity," said Bob Gorney, NSHSS parent.

Canal Turn
The Canal Turn is a fence jumped during the Grand National horse race at Aintree Racecourse, Liverpool, England.
It is negotiated twice during the race - as the eighth fence and the twenty-fourth fence.
The fence is notable for the sharp left-hand turn that the runners have to take as soon as they have negotiated the fence. The turn is almost 90 degrees and it is not uncommon for jockeys to become unbalanced as they change course. Both unseatings and falls are quite common at the fence.
The Canal Turn has been the scene of a number of incidents that have had a major impact upon the outcome of the Grand National.
In the 1928 Grand National, the favourite and top weight Easter Hero refused at the ditch which at the time preceded the fence[1] [2](this was filled in following the race). This refusal take out 20 horses. By the end of the first circuit only 6 horses remained in the field. By the final fence just 2 remainders. Billy Barton fell at the last, leaving the 100/1 outsider Tipperary Tim to finish alone. Billy Barton did remount to pick up the second placed prize money.
In the 2001 Grand National the riderless Paddy's Return ran in front of the field as they approached the fence. This caused a number of horses to be stopped in their tracks or brought down. In total nine horses in the field were taken out of the race; these included Amberleigh House, who went on to win the race in 2004. Om the second circuit Paddy's Return again ran across the fence, but this time Red Marauder, the eventual winner, and Smarty, who finally took second, avoided the disaster.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has awarded Acura's 2013 TL with a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating. This is considered as one of the highest ratings that the IIHS hands out. The award was obtained despite stricter standards set by the IIHS.
The guidelines now include the small overlap frontal crash test. This is a test designed to show the collision of a vehicle running at a certain speed and a fixed object, where 25% of the car's front structure comes into contact with the object.
Aside from the TL model, the ILX, MDX, RDX, and TSX models have all received the TOP SAFETY PICK+ ratings as well. All five models have also been rated GOOD in all four different rating categories.
The small overlap frontal crash test is a relatively new test and was included after a study found out that this type of crash comprised 25% of all frontal crashes that have led to either serious injuries or even death. The test looks into the effect of a car travelling at 40 mph as it collides with a utility pole, for instance.
The test looks into how strong the car's cabin structure is since a slim portion of the car typically absorbs any energy that results from the crash. The TL is just one of two cars that have managed to get high ratings for this particular test. Acura's dedication to safety is based on its commitment to make sure that safety is the primary concern in all of its models.
Acura is currently working on a new body structure which is the Advanced Compatibility Engineering II. What this does is reinforce the structure, particularly the front frame, in order to strengthen energy management during collisions.
Acura expects that once available, this will improve protection for the occupants ensuring a good rating from IIHS. Acura hopes to have this feature in the new models to be released next. All Acura models already have the Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure.
This has already been proven to help with occupant safety by redistributing the energy during collisions. What happens is that it enables the force to the passenger side to be reduced. All Acura models come with the usual safety features.

I mention Kent's famous spa town, home of that legendary man of letters- to-the-Telegraph who goes by the name of "Disgusted", not because I seriously believe it ranks alongside the others in my list, but because I ate there for the first time last week. The experience reminded me (and I needed reminding) that one of the least exploited benefits of living in London, food-wise, is the possibility of leaving the city after a day's graft, for a relaxing dinner out of town.
The suggestion was made by friends who live in East Sussex, whom we hadn't seen for far too long. After a number of aborted weekend plans we decided to stop the rot with a mid-week dinner, at a location that more or less bisected the distance between us. Given that we wanted to travel by train (specifically to travel back by train), Tunbridge Wells was the obvious place to stick the pin in the map.
So we shared the 6.45 from Charing Cross with a herd of besuited commuters. While they stared holes in their papers, or snoozed fitfully, we looked out of the window. It's hardly surprising that, making the journey for the ump-teenth time, they were not motivated to count the hovering kestrels, or marvel at the blossoming hawthorn. They were, after all, just going home. We, on the other hand, were travelling.
Our destination had an incongruity that ser-ved to heighten expectations, but also admitted the possibility of disappointment: Tunbridge Wells's only Japanese restaurant, Igen, unlisted in any guide I could lay my hands on, but recommended by the friends we were meeting. I forgot to ask what the name means, but turn left outside the station, walk up the hill, and you'll find it just next to the cinema.
The seven or so mottled grey formica-topped tables are fixed to the floor and wall, and the lighting is a little on the harsh side. In short, the premises is minimalist and functional - without any of the cache that those adjectives can command in a cosmopolitan context.
When our friends Sarah and Adam arrived, Sarah was still expressing, as she had done on the phone, anxiety about their choice of venue: "We've only been here once," she reminded us, "and we thought it was great. But you know, it's not London." Not being London was just one nice thing about Igen. Another, related perhaps, was the staff. There were just two, both Japanese - allaying one of my fears about the unlikely location of the enterprise. One waitress did all the serving and one chef did all the cooking. Between them they had more charm and enthusiasm than the combined brigades of several large London restaurants I could name.
We all kicked off with mixed sushi. Instead of the eight or so pieces you usually expect, each portion consisted of only four. Had two of these been the make-weights of the average sushi set (bland boiled prawn and rubbery sweetened omelette) this would have been a disappointment. Happily these were nowhere to be seen. Instead we got fresh salmon fillet, belly of tuna (the best, fatty cut of the fish), salmon roe and pickled mackerel. And the portions were huge: almost too big, I thought, as traditionally each piece of sushi is meant to be eaten as a single mouthful. In this case I was sure it couldn't be done. But Adam proved me wrong, downing his salmon roe piece in a single chomp without so much as a grain of rice hitting the table. We all attempted to follow his heroic example, but not in every case with complete success.
The waitress, who barely stopped giggling the entire evening, cajoled us into sharing two other starters in which I had expressed an interest. Unagi kabayaki is grilled marinated eel fillets, and Igen's was superb; the sticky sweet soy-based glaze not quite smothering the rich oily meat of the eel. Gyu tataki, she told us, was "a Japanese version of steak tartare, only much better," unwittingly issuing a challenge to Marie - steak tartare is her desert-island dish. In this case the steak, presented in chopstick-friendly strips, is not quite raw, but has been flashed on a very hot griddle. The accompanying piquant sauce is wasabi based, and delivers that almost painfully pleasant kick of horseradish hotness up the nasal cavity. Marie loved it, but would not be drawn on the tartare comparison: "steak tartare is French," she said incorrigibly (for so is she), "this is Japanese."
We followed with vegetable tempura. The light crunch of the batter, and the variety of delicious fresh vegetables inside it (sweet potato, yellow peppers, lotus root, spring onion) were somehow restorative of appetite. At least, I don't think it was sheer greed that persuaded us to order another round of sushi. Our continuing dialogue with the manageress had revealed some as yet untried "specials": squid, scallop, and the aforementioned eel fillets, turning up with a similar glaze, this time on top of a fat finger of sushi rice. I was only too happy to be reminded just how good it was.
By the end of the meal, we all felt woozy and contented - and not just from the warm saki and cold Kirin beer. Atmosphere is a word much abused in the restaurant business. In truth it comes not from fancy furnishings, piped music, or even from fellow revellers (we remained the only table of diners throughout the evening). It comes simply from the company of friends, the food on your plate, and the warmth of the people who present it to you. In this case, all were well worth travelling for.

A hot social event can generate huge interest and search behaviour from Internet users. If leveraged wisely, it can reward enterprises with low investment but high returns in search marketing. However, the most important pre-condition of employing this approach in search marketing is to ensure a positive user experience. That is to say, there must be a high relevance between a hot social event and an enterprise's product or service.
Consumers and Internet users' search behaviour originating from a hot social event is completely spontaneous. An enterprise does not need to invest in any other media to drive such search traffic. The huge volume of search already brings to enterprises a large amount of free impressions. If these impressions can be effectively converted to valid clicks, an enterprise then can achieve high return that is built upon low investment.
None of the other media can be as effective as search due to the advantage of timeliness that search marketing offers. Search engines are the best tools for consumers and Internet users to conduct a timely search for information about any hot social events. Creative copy of a search ad can be developed and improved instantly along with real-time changes of a hot social event. It is hard to imagine traditional media such as TV or radio ads could be used to leverage the mass consumers' attention from a hot social event due to the time needed in ad materials production. Only search marketing presents itself as an effective marketing vehicle to generate low investment but high return opportunity for branding and sales from the value of social attention to a social event.
However, any enterprise can only leverage a social event in search marketing when its product or service is highly relevant to that social event. And this experience needs to be relevant, intuitive, and comfortable for consumers and Internet users because a positive user experience has a direct correlation to positive brand perception and vice versa.
Building upon positive user experience and event relevance, we developed a successful search campaign for LG leveraging a large amount of traffic from the China National Day Parade for China's 60th birthday celebration in October 2009.
LG SL90 borderless LCD TV is the brand's high-end product that was newly launched in mid September 2009, just before China's 60th birthday. The goal of marketing efforts on this product was to build new product awareness and sales.
In September, traffic on keywords such as "National Day Parade" and "National Party" increased dramatically. Because a majority of the Chinese people could not attend the parade in Beijing, they would watch the National Day Parade and National Party on TV.
We spotted a need-based relevancy between high-end TV and the parade. Thus we launched a search campaign for LG capturing keywords to coincide with this hot social event. Examples of keywords were "National Day Parade", "National Celebration", and "National Party".
Traffic for keywords such as 'National Day Parade' (blue line) and 'National Party' (red line) increased dramatically due to the hot social event of China's 60th birthday celebrations.
During this period, there was no competition bidding for these types of keywords and our search ads were always ranked in top positions with extremely low CPC (define).
The paid search ad campaign for LG was aimed at people who searched for 'National Day Parade' on Google.
Less than two months after the search campaign's launch, it proved to be a huge success. We achieved over one million visits to the new product website with a CPC 24 percent lower than the key performance indicator (KPI) and 54 percent lower than the industry benchmark. The National Day related keyword ad group performed even more impressively with CPC 100 percent lower and CTR 92 percent higher than KPI.
Needless to say, being professional search consultants, reading news about social events every day, monitoring dramatically high-rising keywords, and identifying relevance between these keywords and our clients' products and services are an important part of our daily jobs and to creatively leverage these events in search marketing can truly bring value to our clients.

Purtell, 27, complained of feeling unwell after the game at Manchester's Etihad Stadium and received treatment from the club's medical staff on the team bus on the journey home. He was taken to Leeds General Infirmary where he underwent surgery and is expected to remain in hospital for the rest of the week.
"Adrian had an immediate primary angioplasty to remove the blockage in his artery but both the club and the player wish to point out that at no time did he suffer a cardiac arrest," said Bradford football manager Stuart Duffy.
"His heart did not stop beating and he was conscious throughout the journey to hospital.
"Adrian is feeling much better today but will remain in hospital for the next few days for further tests."
Bradford say they were unable to initially comment on Purtell's condition until receiving his permission due to patient confidentiality, although the player's mother Fran Purtell broke the news to an Australian newspaper just before catching a flight to England.
Duffy added: "The Bulls would like to thank the club's medical team, Dr Donald Young, physiotherapist Jamie Moseley and head of conditioning Geoff Evans for their treatment of Adrian and in particular the staff at both the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and the Leeds General Infirmary for their expert care of Adrian.
"The club would also like to thank the RFL for their support in this matter."
Purtell, who is in his first season in Super League, issued a statement through the club thanking everyone for their best wishes.
"I have read all the messages and would like to thank everyone for their concern," he said. "The response from the rugby league community has been overwhelming and I appreciate everyone's kind thoughts."

Hello there, I am soooooo happy its the? weekend. I seriously need some major downtime to do absolutely nothing. Except for dinner plans tonight, a casual BBQ tomorrow and one game, we have little on the agenda and that is music to my ears. Last week was an exceptionally crazy week, that kind of week where every single minute is accounted for, I barely had quality time with my beloved computer and blogland and I missed it so much, it's my "happy place". So finally a chance to sit down for a bit and catch up on all I have missed and share my weekly musings with you. Here we go……
HOUSE. One exciting thing is that I am getting closer to pulling the trigger on my chinoiserie paper for the dining room. Woo hoo! Once the chairs came in it made me want to complete that room once and for all. So I stumbled across a picture a few weeks ago that was an aha moment for me, the colors were spot on and it has since become my reference for what I want the paper to look like (though a slightly different design). Take a look and also a window treatment I am considering that I think will look fabulous in that room. I am getting exited at the thought of finishing this room!
ORCHIDS. I love orchids. Honestly to me they are actually a bargain flower. When you consider how long they last…..they are so worth the money.? Lets say you spend $75.00 on an orchid, a dozen roses or a large bunch of beautiful flowers could easily cost that and they last, what a week if you are lucky….the orchid on the other hand, at least a few months!
Its like the gift that keeps on giving. So every few months I pick up a few here and there. I have one place that carries sensational orchids which are pricey but worth it but truth be told I have picked up orchids at places like Whole Foods and Home Depot for next to nothing and had them last a long time. So picked up 8 new plants and added some to a very large tole planter from Italy that I have had a while…..
GORGEOUS TOLE. One of my most favorite things I carry in my online shop is the new custom line of tole. It is truly exceptional in every way. I have placed a few orders lately and one was my very own! I ordered the blue and white chinoiserie lamps I have been wanting for oh about eight years! I looooove them and am now working on getting the shades. Maybe this will finally prompt me to finish my room once and for all!!
?On top of that I took a little trip and got to visit the factory, I am working on a few custom lighting orders right now so it was worth the trip. This is a source that the top designers in the world use and their products grace the most sensational homes.? I was in tole nirvana, seriously the beauty stopped me dead in my tracks. I wanted one of everything!!! They work with Benjamin Moore colors and every single pieces is customized to your specifications. The work is out of this world! Click here to see my gallery online of some of the many pieces they do. Check out the beauty……
?Custom dog lamp….you provide a pic of your pooch and a lamp in his/her honor is made up!
?Part of the customization process..we are finalizing colors for this gorgeous lantern!
BOOKS. Got a few books and trying to get back into my old habit of reading on a regular basis. One I just finished that was powerful and quite incredible was Brain on fire I could literally not put it down and read it in 2 days! . A true story of one women's? terrifying account of a mysterious brain disease that takes her over, it is an incredible story! Then the two that follows are on my nightstand ready to be tackled…….
NEW BEAUTY PRODUCTS!? Always enjoy sharing new products with you that I am loving. This was actually received as a gift which makes it even sweeter! But I would absolutely buy on my own (and will).This is a product I really wanted to try and then I was lucky enough to win it over at my buddy, Stacy's blog South Shore Decorating (on a side note great blog that has an amazing plethora of interior design pictures)
Now, its only been 2 days but so far so good! It does in fact reduce the puffiness under the eyes. It contains the wonder peptite, SNAP,-8 considered to be the safe gentler alternative to Botox and red and green seaweed amongst other key ingredients. So far I am indeed a believer! Thanks Stacy!
A BEAUTIFUL PARTY. "Met" a new blogger, Ashely who had emailed me about my blog,? who has a gorgeous blog, Sparkle Sense? where? she shared this gorgeous bridal luncheon which was thrown in her honor (lucky lady)? that had to be shared. I love all the details, so romantic and beautiful…looks magazine spread worthy, don't you think? To visit the wonderful blog of Sparkle Sense, click here to see more! Stop over and leave her a comment to welcome her to blogland…..it will make her day!
And check her amazingly beautiful wedding photos…..hellooooooo Bride magazine are you paying attention!! Ashley….I love your style!
SHOP NEWS. One exciting thing I just got in was the stunning line of preserved boxwood I had found not long ago. I am always on the prowl for great new finds and one of the things I was looking for was a high quality preserved boxwood line. Well I found it! I have since placed an order and got in some of the wonderful pieces. They will be added to my online shop this week but if you are interested in placing an order, several pieces are in stock, so feel free to contact me. Take a look…..
?A beautiful double ball topiary, starts at 16″ and goes all the way up to a towering 51″!
The bags…without a doubt one of the hottest items I have sold since I have been "in biz"! They went like hotcakes……so I got my third order in and ordered extra of the more popular colors. I had many email me about extra bags and I promised that as soon as all orders shipped I would see what was left so for anyone who is interested, here is what I have. Still being offered at the promotional price of $375 for the large and $355 for the med. As of next week, they will be a permanent fixture on my online shop! Email me with any inquires.
?2 black left in large
?1 blue left in med.
?1 military left in large
2 cream left in large
So that's what is left for now. I am taking orders for the nutmeg and a few other colors coming in soon. Check them out…..
?There are also in addition the above a few new colors coming out, eggplant, a deep green, a dark chocolate and a few of the staples that I have already sold. So stay tuned, and of course email me with any inquires at email@example.com
Finally this is one of my all time favorite songs of all time, and this particular performance is sooo amazing, guaranteed to give you chills, tears and maybe both:)? That Charice is one amazing powerhouse! I want to see her in concert……
So that about wraps up what is new and exciting over here. Thanks so? much for stopping in and wishing you a fabulous Saturday and a wonderful weekend.

The Epistle Of 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:4-13 (9 of 11) by Harley Howard
This content is part of a series.THE EPISTLE OF 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:4-13 (9 of 11)
Harley Howard
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day
should overtake you as a thief.
Clearly contrasted against the "they and them" who
shall enter into the judgment of the day of the Lord,
the believer does not live in the sphere of darkness
that they should be concerned about being caught up in
that judgment. Now from what I understand of the
tribulation period, this verse could not possibly
refer to tribulation saints, who are sinners who will
come to believe the Savior after the church is
removed, because multitudes of these saints will be
martyred and there is no indication of that in this
verse. In fact, this verse and following verses, will
reveal that deliverance is what believers have to look
forward to on this side of grace. Also important to
note is that prior to this chapter (4) Paul made it
very clear that the believers, and only believers, can
look forward to the snatching away of the church, not
the tribulation period, not wrath, but deliverance.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children
of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Believers are characterized as children of light
because God is light and believers are children of
God, so we are children of light and of the day.
Unbelievers on the other hand are not children of
light but of darkness. Light and day represent God and
His children while darkness and night represent the
lost. This truth concerning children of the day and of
those who are in the darkness and the contrast between
the two of them is seen in many passages.
>> You become a child of the day and of light by
believing in Jesus Christ.
John 12:35-36
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is
the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest
darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in
darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye h ...

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Someone I know filed Bankruptcy, she divorced her current husband, (divorced first one 3 years ago) took all the debts from both marriage in her name, falsified value of home...over $1m was involved in the bk. As soon as the bk went through the divorced husband she lives with bought 2 new cars one is a corvette and now they are having their home completely redone. For those of us who are working hard to pay our bills and taxes this is frustrating and quite unfair. Is there anything that can be done now?
Bankruptcy discharges can be revoked for up to one year after they are granted for various reasons not involving fraud, and of course fraud's statute of limitations doesn't even begin to run until the fraud is discovered (or should have been discovered). Which is not to say that there has been any in this instance. I have no idea whether these people have played games with the system or have simply experienced good fortune on the heels of misfortune.
If they have committed BK fraud, there can be a reward. But you need to do some sleuthing.Ask a similar question
If you smell a rat what you can do is to contact the office of the US Trustee for what ever district their bankruptcy court is in. If you can find out who the case trustee was you can let him know too. Many times bankruptcy fraud is discovered on tips such as yours.
It is not uncommon for a person to come out of bankruptcy and to buy new luxury cars. Texas is one of the states whose laws caused most of the issues in the 2005 bankruptcy reform laws. Texas have VERY generous exemptions, especially for the real estate. Although I am not from Texas, I have heard that the entire parcel of property is exempt without regard to value.
In Ohio the exemption just went up from $5,000 top $20,200. No one is flocking to Ohio to take advantage of our generous exemptions. On the other hand prior to 2005 celebrities relocated to Florida and Texas to file for bankruptcy.
You might feel jealous, or even cheated, but I would not be surprised if everything is on the up and up.
Before you take a step like this that could expose you to civil liability if you are wrong, I suggest you consult with a Texas bankruptcy lawyer to see if he thinks anything is amiss.Ask a similar question
Contact a bankruptcy attorney and have them get you a copy of the bankruptcy petition filed by this person. they are public information. Then you can review the disclosures and determine if your suspicions are bassed in fact or if there were other disclosures that could explain the observations. Perhaps they took money out of an exempt account that would explain what you are observing.Ask a similar question
