text: Jerry, Another persimmon variety that has been proposed as a possible virginiana/ kaki hybrid is Geneva Long, arising from the hybridizing efforts of Professor Slate at Geneva, NY. While the cold-hardiness and size of this persimmon is typical for an American , the oblong shape of the fruit is somewhat unusual. The foliage is characteristic for this cultivar, and the shape and gloss of the leaves somewhat reminiscent of Asians. The seeds are also thin and oblong and resemble kaki seeds. Unlike any of the other wild or named cultivars of virginiana that Ive tried, it, to my taste, lacks any variation of the characteristic American persimmon flavor, and while sweet, is comparatively bland like a kaki. Also, green fruit ripens well off the tree another quality I believe is seen more often with kaki than virginiana.. So, whoever is doing the DNA analysis of Keener may be interested in examining this variety as well.

So far:
Sonic 9.33/10 (3 ratings)
Ralph 6.16/10 (3 ratings)
Reala 7.66/10 (3 ratings)
My Rating 10/10
For 105 star you did hope that you got a worthwhile charatcer ad she actually happens to be more than wothwhile. Her stats are really good. 4 3 2 3 4 She is not only fast but she also happen to have a very good All-Star that prevent anyone from useing the Hot Rod to catch for it strike people behind her with broken heart that act like mines. Place them on boost pad and the person behind you is scerwed. In a closearea and the person in front of you happened t be Gum and she uses her All Star...you will be behind for a long time. She can mod herself to have a very high speed or mod herself for a next to perfect boost. Her Handling i her weakest stat and it turn into poo when she uses her console mods. She does not snag...how do I find out wheatear the character snag or not? I just check by having that character go over the ramp in Burning Depths. Gum is amazing and is worth more star than she cost to unlock her.
I love and believe in Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it

Definitely 10/10, she's my main and i liked her since the jet set radio franchise.
Above Omnipotence 4 years ago#3
Gum is an extremely solid great character and can actually hang with some of the top-tier characters, which is why she's the best mid-tier character. Gum also has an small vehicle advantage, can dodge items and turn corners extremely easy despite of what her Speed and Console Mods indicates. She, along with Amigo and Beat can slide pass a pile-up of characters the easiest without constantly getting knocked around.
I'm 2nd. to God's power. I'm the semi-supreme being. XBL Gamer Tag: AboveOmnipotent
Gum is pretty--uh, I mean pretty good. Her boost mod is my favorite, it seems to have no issues at all, and all her vehicles control very well, feeling very light in comparison to similiar characters like Sonic and Knuckles. I love her all star so much, the hearts deceive so many people and can basically act as unlimited blow fish, but I wish she had something geared to her front.
I really don't want to give her a perfect score, since there are racers I consider better, but after writing all that she seems perfect. 10/10

Yorkshire_14 4 years ago#5
Even though I've never played Jet Set Radio she's one of my favourite characters. 9/10.
Break the pan! Release the bacon!
9/10. Only real flaw is that her all star kinda sucks because its only useful if you are already in the lead.
That said, she's pretty much the only character I use. her vehicle doesn't have a nose so it can't get stuck on that little green ramp on burning rangers, its small so it gets through tight corners, and it has my signature color scheme, so I love it.

As mentioned ^^ She's a all around great characters having possible 5 BST, 5 SPD, 4 ACC and Hand Depending on what you like. Not much else needs to be said about her besides the fact that she's ugly if you look at her face during racing.
Speed 9/10
Boost 9/10
Handling 7/10
Vehicle 6/10
SeahorseCpt89 4 years ago#8
Cool vehicles, great handling and boost. The only downside is her all star isn't that great.

Hello! We are planning to purchase a 2 country rail pass (Swiss & Austria) before leaving the states, which is soon---early May. We start our rail trip by flying into Zurich, then traveling to: Salzburg - 2 days and Vienna - 2 days...then travel to Venice-2 days.
Will a 2 country rail pass cover Vienna to Venice or do we have to buy a point-to-point? We will need to take the 0600 hour trip out of Vienna to Venice.
Next we head over to Milan (afternoon stop?) , which I believe point-to-point from Venice. From Milan afternoon stop, back to Switzerland. We really could use travel suggestions here, we should have 4 days left to explore. We like the area of Montreux and the idea of a walk to the cheese and chocolate places. Then over to Lausanne for a day and finally Geneva to fly home.
Coming from Milan, is there train to Montreux area? And again, point-to-point ticket or will our 2 country pass work?
All suggestions appreciated!

You may want to consider a Eurail Select Pass instead of the Swiss-Austria pass - it would cover any 4 countries - Italy included and is first class if over 25 - a big big perk IME of decades of rail travel in those areas - hop on any train anytime in Switzerland or Austria - at least the ones you preview taking.
For lots of great info on trains in that area check www.swisstravelsystem.com; www.budgeteuropetravel.com and www.rciksteves.com - and consider a straight up Swiss Pass and just buying regular tickets in other countries as perhaps your bdst bet!
The Jungfrau Region the most awesome part of Switzerland for first-time tourists IMO -
If you've never been to Switzerland before then IMO and many others the absolute highlight is the fabulous Jungfrau Region - just south of Interlaken - glacier-girdled peaks rising thousands of feet above lush-cow dotted meadowns - spend 3-4 days there and it will be the highlight of your trip.
Report Abuse
Since rail passes are far from the terrific deal they once were, I'm wondering if you've priced advance purchase point-to-point tickets for the entire trip. You may still have time to book discounted fares so, if you haven't compared them with the passes, it would be something to do before buying.
Report Abuse
Use the rail sites for that particular country to calculate point to point ticket costs (Swiss- SBB, Austria - OBB and Italy - Trentalia.) You can use DB Rail for overall schedules. You might find point to point costs are less expensive and usually include the cost of the seat reservation. Early purchase allows even larger savings but you are fixed to specific times and trains.
Just returned from using rail in Germany and Italy and found point to point less expensive. Rail pass worked for me in the past but I used 37 trains in 5 different countries.
Report Abuse
You really don't have that many rail journeys -- my guess is a rail pass is way overkill and would cost more than regular P-t-P tckets.
Report Abuse
Just add the point to point numbers.
For prices of any route starting/ending in Switzerland, www.sbb.ch.
For Austria www.oebb.at.
For Italy only portion, www.trenitalia.com.
If you use a pass on a train that crosses into non-covered country, the pass takes care of ride to the "border" station which can be at the either side of the border. You have to have a valid point-to-point ticket to cover the trip from there on.

As others say, your pass will probably cost a LOT more than if you did plain point to point travel.

Will a 2 country rail pass cover Vienna to Venice or do we have to buy a point-to-point>
No it will not if you are talking about the Switzerland-Austria pass - not sure where Dukey says so emphatically that it would - if you do not have Italy on your pass you'll have to pay from the Austrian border to Venice - buy a supplemental ticket or get a discounted Vienna-Venice ticket that could be cheaper than burning a day on a pass.
Report Abuse
Coming from Milan, is there train to Montreux area? And again, point-to-point ticket or will our 2 country pass work?>
Why would you think a railpass would work in countries it is not valid for - a railpass covers trains within a country with a few obscure exceptions - buy an Italian ticket to Brig or Domodossola, bordeer stations for tarification purposes and have you Swiss Pass kick in from there. You will probably have to change at Brig - there used to be Milan to Geneva trains but I'm not sure they still run after Cisalpino died a slow death.
Report Abuse
Investigate a Swiss Pass for Switzerland and point to point in other countries - Swiss Passes cover many things the 2-country Eurailpass don't - like lake boats, mountain trains, postal buses, city transports and gives free entry to 470 Swiss museums and sights.
a Swiss Pass can be surprisingly cost effective for even relatively limited travels.
Report Abuse
for the 4 days you have after coming back to Switzerland I'd highly suggest going to what me and many consider to be the absolute highlight of Switzerland the Jungfrau Region around Interlaken - the awesome picture of the Swiss Alps etched in many folks' minds:
Soaring glacier-girdled peaks looming high above lush cow-dotted meadows - hotel balconies with scintillating views of it all - a myriad of toylike trains and aerial cableways going off in all directions - hiking paths for all degree of energies/difficulties - ensonce yourself in a pretty mountain town like Grindelwald or Wengen and you'll think you're in heaven.
The area is also a short train ride from Zurich.
The fabulous Jungfrau Region:
Report Abuse
and if going to the Jungfrau Region and using its many trains and gondolas, etc the two-country Eurailpass at most gives a minor discount on those trains whilst a Swiss Pass often covers them 100% - like in full to Wengen or Grindelwald whereas Eurail gives 25% discount only.
Report Abuse
Thanks to all that replied, we appreciate the helpful information. I've priced it out every which way possible and probably will break it down again in the next day or so, just to check/recheck the numbers. We look forward to our journey and just want to have the rails priced right.
thanks again all!

check www.raileurope.com for specials on railpasses that often pop up at this time of year - like getting an extra day free, etc.
Report Abuse
PalenQ -- you were right on time with the extra day comment. I continue to find the 2 countries (switz/Austria) pass - easy and now cost effective (the one day). Adding the reservation seat from Vienna to Venice and then point-to-point from Milan into Switz (Speiz/bern)and then as you said, let my pass kick-in from there. I have followed some of your (& a few others) travel replies to others regarding Switzerland and it has been beneficial. Many thanks!
Report Abuse
Thank you! If not going into the Jungfrau Region much where Eurails only get discunts and a Swiss Pass covers so so much more then a Eurailpass - which the 2-country pass is - covers all trains you are likely to encouter - even the Golden Pass scenic train from Lucerne-Interlaken-Montreux.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the thanks - and since you are doing a pass here are some ideas:
If you need to ask questions of some expert - I have been buying passes for years from Byron at www.budgeteuropetravel.com and he always knows everything and IME will answer even if not buying - pass prices are universal but handling fees can be added so always ask about that - these type passes are not sold TMK in Europe. www.ricksteves.com is also a good source for railpasses and has knowledgeable staff IME and I think they give out free Back Door guidebooks with some orders. RailEurope is the actual purveyor of passes and sets the prices for all their agents, like the two above, but again handling fees and added gifts are permitted so ask about the bottom line.
Note that Westbahn trains, which compete on main lines in Austria with the Austrian state railways do not to my knowledge honor passes yet they run a small minority of trains but do not get on them by mistake. If not on a strvation budgtet IMO go first class, especially if lugging around luggage - always IME extra seats in first class where SRO may be the rule in 2nd class though in these countries that is rarely IME the rule.
Again look for specials or ask about them - many have an expiration date to encourage early sales but let you activate the pass in Europe for several months - but not the deadlines if specials pop up.
Report Abuse
As I told you above, if you buy the cheapest point to point tickets, the journey Zurich - Salzburg - Vienna - Venice - Montreux costs about 160 USD.
I'm happy for you that you found a railpass wich is even more advantageous!
Report Abuse
Neckervd - Good morning, the majority that replied here, advised point-to-point is less (Greg, Huggy and others Thank You again), I understand and researched it. I just don't want to commit to a certain timeframe for departure, only the Vienna to Venice train, due to it's considerable travel time. But $160 for my travels? I am missing something, I will take PalenQ's advice and reach out to Byron and/or Rick Steve's site to see what I am missing. To your point PalenQ, we are traveling with backpack only and will make sure we are on correct trains-we absolutely ask before boarding, thank you.
Any suggestions for a town to stay in/around Montreux, again-we'd like to do the cheese/chocolate walk?
Thanks again to all
Report Abuse
" I just don't want to commit to a certain timeframe for departure"
Then it will cost more. Have a look at standard fares with
and compare with the prices of the railpasses
Report Abuse
cheapest is not always the best IME - the ability to just hop any train anytime in those countries, save Italy, to me is priceless - and how much time do you spend tracking down discounted tickets from several web sites - some like trenitalia.com are notoriously fickle and cause umpteen problems for Fodorites - and then those tickets, sold in limited numbers so must be booked in stone weeks/months in advance often and are often non-changeable non-refundable - if you miss the specific train they are only valid on then you have to buy a full-fare ticket.
Don't judge the efficacy of a pass simply by what may be a few euros in this case cheaper.
Report Abuse
Any suggestions for a town to stay in/around Montreux, again-we'd like to do the cheese/chocolate walk?>
I realluy liked Montreux and many folks wax so romantic about nearby Vevey, which sticks out into the lake - no better cities IMO in this area.
cheese/chocolate walk? - the official Cheese Train which uses Belle Epogue Pullman cars - fancy ones and has commentary en route and maximizes your time by not waiting for train en route leaves from Montreux I believe.

Looking forward to a relaxing vacation, being a tourist on the rails! I chose Lauterbrunnen for a 2 day stay after Venice and then 1 night in Gruyeres and our final night in Geneva. A few loose ends to finish, then wait for our departure date! I love the planning, almost as much as the trip! Again, thanks to all for the help-especially you PalenQ!

There on the hill is an inn, (2x)
In that inn an innkeeper,
Not an innkeeper, but a widow. (2x)
Let us the barn,
For our horses to stand, (2x)
For our brothers to relax.
At a quiet table, (2x)
A writer writes everything with a pen.
About a rich merchant.
And the rich merchant had a good daughter, (2x)
And the little thing grew up.
She pursued every caprice,
And bought a colt,
She left to marry abroad on Polish Street,
To choose there a fine fellow, (2x)
So that a good face, (2x)
So that I loved him. (2x)
Cheese, butter I fed,
Cheese, butter, curd, (2x)
Yes a wheat pastry.
I will send him a bed, (2x)
Me in three rows of pillows,
A fourth featherbed,
Near the side a girl.

11 Cakes With Strange and Mysterious Apologies
written by Sam Greenspan
After putting together this list, I deeply regret that I haven't used cakes to apologize for the biggest mistakes I've ever made. I'm not sure I need to send myself an apology cake for missing that opportunity, but it's close.
There's no shortage of photos of apology cakes online; if someone takes the time to bake you or order you a customized apology cake, you're probably gonna take a photo of it. And while many of the apologies are straightforward, some are far more ambiguous. Those are the ones I love.
I put together this collection of 11 photos of cakes apologizing for strange and mysterious events. After all, any cake that requires a back story is a well-decorated cake.
Happy Birthday. I'm sorry the Soap was a bad idea.
Best theory:
The wife behind this cake gave her husband decorative soaps as a birthday gift, which is basically
the female equivalent of giving a "Homer" bowling ball
. A fight broke out, so the cake had to multitask as both a birthday cake and an apology cake.
Worst theory:
This is a prank cake for someone whose English isn't so good and when they bite into it, they'll find out the secret ingredient is dish soap. After a precautionary call to poison control, everyone will have a good laugh and it will be declared a the best birthday ever.
Shane. We sorry, you are living. You will be miss!
Best theory:
A language barrier turned a cake that was supposed to say "Shane, we're sorry you are leaving. You will be missed!" into this.
Worst theory:
The people behind this cake really hate a woman named Shane and bought this cake as a warning. They're sorry she's living, and because of the way they're about to make her life miserable, she will be too.
(Thus the tone on the last line, with the emphatic "Miss.")
Sorry Your Client is a Sociopath!
Best theory:
A coworker who was dealing with a difficult grenade elicited enough sympathy from the office they all chipped in to buy this cake. (Also, it had been like three days since someone's birthday so they were all craving their daily cake ration and just needed a reason.)
Worst theory:
This person's client is literally a sociopath who
murdered seven people in a ball of flames
, as per the decoration.
Sorry I tried to Sacrifice you to SATAN :-).
Best theory:
A high school girl went through a devil worshipping phase, briefly tried to kill her best friend in a sacrifice, then snapped out of it and
got back into her old hobbies of baking and glitter
Worst theory:
A color blind Satanist botched a sacrifice and meant to decorate this cake in red frosting. The glitter around Satan is supposed to represent the blood of 1,000 virgins raining over the lands and the smiley face is really supposed to be devil horns but the Satanist ran out of frosting halfway through.
I'm sorry I ran over your Baby.
Best theory:
"Baby" doesn't literally mean a human baby. The person who baked the cake ran over the other person's bike or phone or some other inanimate object that the recipient loved so much he or she referred to it as "my baby."
Worst theory:
This person ran over a friend's baby, left a trail of blood behind and felt a homemade cake was the only way to square things away. I don't know any of the parties involved, but
I'd feel comfortable saying this apology was insufficient
I'm SORRY I projectile vomited all over your apartment and cat.
Best theory:
Some people were hanging out at an apartment, one did a shot of some horrible liquor -- most likely lukewarm rum or sloe gin -- and immediately started vomiting. The cat was unlucky enough to get in the way.
Worst theory:
The person who made this cake
tried to eat their friend's cat
but couldn't quite get it down.
Sorry for what I say during Mario Kart.
Best theory:
I've played enough Mario Kart to know the usual frustration spots, but few of them elicit expletives. It's hard to figure this out. I'm thinking it must've been someone calling someone else an a-hole for a miraculous third lap green turtle shell hit.
Worst theory:
The person behind this cake called Peach a
lightning-hoarding bitch
Sorry we caught you dry humping our son -- We still love you!
Best theory:
Parents caught their teenage son and his girlfriend having sex (or, possibly, fully clothed grinding) and the girl was so mortified she ran out of the house crying. The parents
made her a cake as a comical way to smooth things over
Worst theory:
Same scenario, but replace "girlfriend" with "math tutor" or "half-sister."
Sorry I set off the fire alarm while having sex!
Best theory:
This young lady lit a bunch of candles in her apartment to set a romantic mood and the smoke set off the fire alarm, causing her roommate to panic.
Worst theory:
This young lady was engaged in some kind of
crazy fetish play involving a blowtorch
and didn't realize she was using highly flammable pina colata butt lotion. Next thing you know, the entire building is on fire and she's sprinting down the street to the cake shop trying to figure out of three yellow frosting flowers really will help the apology work.
Sorry about the fajitas. :(
Best theory:
Man, this is a tough one because
it's hard to imagine anyone could ever screw up something fajita-related badly enough to warrant an apology cake
. I guess maybe someone spent hours preparing fajitas and their significant other came in, said, "Eww, I don't want fajitas," and threw everything in the garbage? That could be bad enough to require a cake as part of the apology.
Worst theory:

Sorry about the crabs.
Best theory:
The person who baked this cake
either promised the recipient a crab dinner and couldn't deliver or gave the recipient pubic lice

The Kool-Aid Man either promised the recipient a crab dinner and couldn't deliver or gave the recipient pubic lice.

Part of its strategy is a bigger, "aspirational" {{{2006 Santa Fe}}} that makes room in the lineup for the new, smaller Tucson. The Elantra-based crossover is just 170.3 inches long, with a crude 140-horse iron-block 2.0-liter I-4 or a 173-horse, 2.7-liter aluminum-block V-6, both with continuously variable valve timing and front- or all-wheel drive (which Hyundai calls torque-on-demand 4WD). Either comes with a four-speed automatic, and a five-speed manual is available with the four.The preproduction V-6s we drove were tight and well built, with a crowd-pleasing list of standard features. Plastics remain among the cheapest in the business, however, and the leather seats might as well be vinyl. As for the dynamics, we were neither disappointed nor delighted. The V-6 makes just 12 and 13 more horsepower, respectively, than the fours in chief competitors {{{Toyota RAV4}}} and Honda CR-V; the Hyundai is also heavier than either, so it's not peppy. The suspension is soft and inspires drivers to reach for the excellent brakes early in the corners. The attractive Tucson is an improvement over the ungainly Santa Fe and is among Hyundai's best-built models, but it only incrementally raises Hyundai's status as an automaker (despite recent positive J.D. Power initial quality ratings). On the other hand, that Hyundai has any status is something no one would've predicted five years ago. 2005 Hyundai Tucson Price range $17,000-$20,000 (est) Layout Front engine, fwd or awd, 5-door, 5-pass, SUV Engines 2.0L/140-hp I-4, DOHC, 4 valves/cyl; 2.7L/173-hp V-6, DOHC, 4 valves/cyl 0-60 mph, sec 9.0 sec (MT est, V-6 awd) On sale in U.S. September 2004 Share this article Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email First Drive: 2005 Hyundai Tucson /4 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 4 2 | 4 3 | 4 4 | 4

Rocker Ted Nugent has told the Jackson Citizen Patriot that his USO tour with country singer Toby Keith last June was such an "awesome and awe-inspiring" experience that he intends to repeat it in April.He said they played in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and Falluja and Tikrit, Iraq, where they saw "the good, the bad and the ugly." Traveling in an armor-plated Hummer during night-time convoys took him along the same route where Marines were killed, he said. At one stop, he said, he had to take out his Gerber mini-tool and fix the Hummer's door. "I carried my own machine gun over there," said the longtime gun-rights activist. "It was quite intense. It fortified my patriotism and my certainty that America is indeed the last best place ... and that evil metastasizes in our absence." Nugent said he completely supports the Bush administration and the "great military minds." "But it's up to we the people to constantly monitor and ask questions," he said. "I support those who ask questions and those who condemn (the war). ... It's silence I hate." Playing for soldiers in a war zone is the "rock and roll American dream, projected intensely," Nugent said. "You haven't lived until you have Toby Keith playing acoustic guitar next to you in a tent in Falluja," he said. "The spirit, enthusiasm, emotion — it was just riveting." Read more.

When he was hired in 2005, Brown was only 35 years old. He was the second-youngest coach in the league behind only baby-faced Lawrence Frank in New Jersey. His youth and relative inexperience was considered something of a calculated risk, and Brown says he was often fighting the perception that he was too young to do the job. He even remembers a story which illustrates his point.
"When I was an assistant in San Antonio, one of the last guys I worked out before we did our pre-game speech and and all that was Steve Kerr. And Steve's older than me by a couple years. So we played one on one. I'd always play defense and if I got a stop, I'd get a point, and if he scored a bucket, he got a point. We'd go to five, then he'd take his shots and we'd go into the locker room.
"But I'll never forget, it was a home game and we're playing, and the song 'Car Was'" from back in the '70s came on over the loudspeaker. And Steve had the ball in his hand. I'll never forget, he was pivoting, I was playing defense and he goes, 'Uh oh, I'm in trouble now, they're starting to play your jams, from back in your day,' and it kinda caught me off guard at first, but I was like 'Yes! He thinks I'm older than I am!' And what I wanted to say was, 'Steve you should know this song better than I do, you're older than me!'"
This time around, after the 2010 playoff debacle, his dismissal, The Decision, and the crucible of Los Angeles, he's returning like a war veteran—older, wiser, harder.
"I feel more confident," he says. "I feel like I have a better feel, and that there are a lot more positives this time around. I feel like my contributions will be at a higher level. I feel like I'm in my prime, and at the end of the day, this may define who I am or was as a coach."
Jason Lloyd says Brown is returning with more swagger and authority.
"He was hamstrung with LeBron and the situation there," Lloyd says. "I think you'll see that he's got more power in the locker room."
Brian Windhorst thinks we won't really be able to assess Mike Brown's improvement for some time.
"If you want your team to go from a 3 to an 8, Mike Brown's your guy," says Windhorst, referencing an imaginary 10-point scale. "But from an 8 to a 10? The answer is no. We won't know what he's learned until the playoffs."
Training camp started this week—October 1—and getting excited for the team (a truly exciting roster) is made much more difficult by the recent woes. Under Byron Scott, the Cavs tallied 64 total victories in three seasons, two less than the Miami Heat's 66 last year alone, and two less than Mike Brown's Cavaliers in '08-'09—a franchise record—the year before he was fired.
Remember that awesome summer?
Dan Gilbert calls letting Brown go a mistake. He uses catchphrases like "organizational uncertainty" to characterize what the rest of us saw as (justified) desperation after the Cavs' spectacular demise against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals that year, a series in which the Cavs, taking their cue from LeBron, openly quit on their head coach.
Gilbert wasn't alone in thinking that LeBron's altar needed a sacrifice with Brown's name on it. But, improbable as it sounds, Gilbert and Brown's relationship wasn't strained in the least by the circumstances. He went on the record about how basketball is "a business" and his understanding of the ownership's motives.
Brown, ever the class act, was gracious in his departure that offseason. "We partnered in creating a culture and a standard that I am, and will continue to be, very proud of. None of which would be possible without the dedication and support of Dan Gilbert," he said in a statement at the time. "I am thankful for the opportunity that he gave to me and my family."
It's not like Brown and Gilbert have been texting each other pictures of their favorite meals these past three years, but the relationship has remained incredibly cordial.
"It literally feels like I went on vacation for a few weeks and now we're back to rock and roll," Brown says. He also calls Gilbert's public remorse about firing Brown "one of the biggest compliments I've ever had in my life."
What was supposed to be a re-acquaintance dinner back in April between Gilbert, Grant and Brown turned into a six-and-a-half-hour marathon chat that moved this decision quickly forward: He was introduced as head coach later that week.
"It all just came right back," says Brown. "It was too natural."
The one thing Mike Brown won't talk about at Firestone is LeBron. In fact, NBA tampering rules prohibit him from commenting on any other player currently on contract. "I'd be fined a whole bunch of money," he laughs.
LeBron was featured in the "Men's Wear" arm of Women's Wear Daily—not kidding—a couple weeks back, and said that he'll likely retire someplace where he won't have to endure cold winters.
"I've grown used to my new city's little perks like fresh fish and sweet fruit," James told the style site while modeling an exclusive new watch, for which he's a brand ambassador.
Can't blame the guy for preferring the sun, but there's something in that desire, some weakness in the constitution maybe, that smacks of his cherry picking for elite teammates to form powerhouse rosters.
"I don't want to go back to cold winters," LeBron said. He was talking about retirement destinations, but it felt like a more basic indictment of self: I don't ever want to do things the hard way.
Mike Brown, on the other hand, is a cold-weather apologist.
"As crazy as it sounds," Brown says, "we missed the snow. We missed the four seasons. It's something we complain about when we're in that time, but it's fun to have the curtains open on Christmas Eve and to look outside and there's a couple feet of snow on the ground and it's coming down and all that stuff."
Cleveland is pleased as punch to give Mike Brown a winter; and Brown just might give Cleveland a ring.

As Congress rushes to pass a farm bill before the 2002 elections, taxpayers are in danger of being left to pick up the tab for the most expensive farm bill in history. This corporate welfare legislation will expand policies that hand out billions of dollars to Fortune 500 companies, large agribusinesses, and Members of Congress while excluding most small family farmers.
The initial projection for the 10-year cost of the House and Senate farm bills was a stratospheric $171 billion. President George Bush has indicated he could accept this, even though it would cost the average American household nearly $4,400 in taxes and inflated food prices over the next decade. However, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has revealed what astute observers knew all along: The current farm bills would cost much more than $171 billion.
The CBO recently admitted that it underestimated the cost of the Senate farm bill (S. 1731) by over $6 billion. That accounting error, coupled with the gimmicks that legislators have designed to hide the true cost of their spending proposals, could result in actual costs that are as much as twice the original estimate.
A $6 Billion Error
When the Agriculture Conservation and Rural Enhancement Act (S. 1628, which later became S. 1731) was introduced, it provided for Production Flexibility Contract (PFC) payments to farmers based on the number of acres they farm. But while the bill includes all of a farmer's base acres when calculating payments, the CBO calculated its projections using only 85 percent of base acres. Adjustments to correct this misreading increased the bill's projected cost from $171 billion to $177 billion ($73.5 billion to $79.6 billion above the baseline projection).
House and Senate conference committee negotiators must now decide whether to cut $6 billion elsewhere in the bill or simply retain this spending increase. Although $6 billion may not seem like much to legislators already committed to spending $171 billion on misguided, mistargeted, and counterproductive farm policies, it is money that could be used to fund:
- The operations of the war on terrorism for five months;
- 86 F/A-18 Hornet fighters for the war on terrorism;
- 414 Black Hawk helicopters for the war on terrorism;
- 9,000 additional border patrol agents for 10 years;
- 6,600 additional customs agents for 10 years;
- 6,667 CTX-5500 explosive detection systems for airports; or
- 80,000 air marshals--enough for two agents for every flight in the United States.
A Pattern of Unreliable Forecasts
Forecasting errors that dwarf the recent $6 billion mistake have been the norm for decades. In 1965, proponents of Medicare predicted that its annual cost would never exceed $5 billion. In 2002, Medicare expenditures will reach $223 billion. Overall budget projections have been as dismal and flawed as have program cost estimates. The CBO's projections of a 10-year federal budget surplus dropped $4 trillion in just one year, plummeting from $5.6 trillion in January 2001 to $1.6 trillion in January 2002.
Even without errors caused by misreading a bill's provisions, such as the $6 billion mistake described above, most projections are destined to be wildly awry because the CBO is required to base its forecasts on two unrealistic assumptions: (1) that the economy's performance can be predicted 10 years in advance, and (2) that Congress will restrain its insatiable urge to expand expensive programs. The collapse of both assumptions caused the recent $4 trillion overestimation of the 10-year budget surplus; the economy fell into an unanticipated recession, and the war on terrorism led Congress to initiate and expand funding for several critical programs. Because of events like these, forecasters consistently remind legislators that their projections are not "predictions," but merely the best current estimates based on a set of tenuous assumptions. Yet legislators have exhibited an unshakable faith in these projections.
As far back as the 1970s and 1980s, farm bills spent on average 78 percent more than their projected levels. The 1990 farm bill underestimated farm spending between 1990 and 1996 by 33 percent. Despite this pattern of underestimations, however, Congress naively accepted the projection that the 1996 farm bill would cost $47 billion between 1996 and 2002. Once again, assumptions regarding the future of the economy and government spending proved false. Between 1998 and 2000, crop prices dipped, automatically triggering increased farm subsidy payments, and Congress then added $27 billion in "emergency" payments to farmers. The farm bill that Congress believed would cost $47 billion ultimately cost $123 billion.
Repeating the Pattern
Current farm bill cost estimates are no more realistic than those of 1996 or before. The CBO has already added over $6 billion to its estimate of the Senate bill's cost, and several agriculture economists have predicted that expenditures will rise even further. Both the Senate and House bills are based on economic projections that leave no room for the economy to go in recession, as it did in 2001, or for crop prices to decrease, as they did in 1998.
With or without a recession or decrease in crop prices, however, the current farm bill's cost projections are unrealistic. Senate drafters used budget gimmicks to try to squeeze an extra $8 billion ($6 billion in expanded conservation payments and $2 billion in additional dairy subsidies) into a bill that was supposed to have the same total cost as the House version. One of these gimmicks was "front-loading" payments--paying the highest subsidies in the first few years of the bill and assuming that any subsidy decreases in later years would be made up by Congress with "emergency" payments.
The recent $6 billion increase may be no more than a down payment on what will certainly become the most expensive farm bill in U.S. history. Despite the very expensive initial cost estimate of $171 billion, the real cost could ultimately be closer to $271 billion, or even $371 billion. With entitlement spending already out of control, the nation cannot afford to buy a farm bill without looking carefully at its price tag.

Frank Marone -- Top Reasons to Attend PowerUP! 2016: Celebrate Success
There are so many reasons to attend PowerUP! 2016 (Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, National Harbor, Maryland) that we can't possibly cover them all at once. So, as we count down to the big event, we will highlight the top reasons why you should make every effort to participate.
This week, Viridian Ambassador Frank Marone shares his sentiments on how the year's premier event celebrates success.
You want to be as good as you can be, of course. In our business that means being a strong leader and a good teacher, and you can't do it alone. You need a team of people who know what they're doing—who are trained to show each new Associate how to become a leader.
PowerUP! brings you face-to-face with Viridian's top producers as well as industry experts to help you develop the skills you need to succeed. The fact that network marketing guru Eric Worre is one of our keynote speakers this year is reason enough to attend. I once paid thousands of dollars to attend one of his events, and you can have the advantage of experiencing his teachings and training first-hand at PowerUP!. Even if you're just starting, why wouldn't you come hear Eric Worre and see what the company's all about?
It's the stories from Eric Worre and our Viridian colleagues that will inspire you to return to your business at the end of three days with renewed energy—no pun intended. Meeting the top players is the reason why people go, and why they leave with a different frame of mind.
Everyone is there to mingle and get to know each other a little better. Being with like-minded individuals who share your beliefs and attitudes can be truly motivating. Quite honestly, there are a lot of negative people out there, and that negativity will eat them—and you—up. Instead, surround yourself with positivity: Come hear the success stories from Viridian's top performers. If you're struggling, let them motivate you to try something new and achieve success.
PowerUP! is all about celebrating each other's successes. Take the Ampy Awards, for example. My partner Joe Occhiogrosso and I won the 2015 Generation V Award, given to the Associate (or Associates) who embodies everything it means to be Generation V—from building a business and growing a team to representing the brand and supporting a sustainable future. Now, I know that this might not necessarily inspire the new Associate of three weeks or three months, but you'll hear from a multitude of people and I can promise that one of them is sure to strike a chord that resonates with you.
For example, one Ampy Award goes to the rookie of the year. This individual is selected based on a variety of business-building metrics, such as personal customer and Associate enrollments, rank advancements and business development. Grab a moment with this person later on and find out what he or she has been doing well, and then use that knowledge to generate success of your own!
PowerUP! is an education in and of itself. You truly come to understand the impact of this company. It's not just about making a few bucks—this is about a lifestyle change: Going green, contributing to the greater good. We change people's lives, and we have the chance to change ourselves, mentally and financially.
Financial success is important to all of us. Anyone who says they're not in this for money is full of baloney. Don't get me wrong; it's great that you have the ability to help the environment, but achieving financial success is critical and the reason many people come to PowerUP!. You're going to hear from the people who became Directors, the people who became Partners, the people who became Ambassadors.
You'll leave with the confidence to know you can do this, and how to do it. This is not a business where you can be on your own and do great things. You can't go at it alone. If I know what I'm doing and go along doing it on my own, even after I've brought five new people into the business, my business will never, ever grow.
The system works by duplicating itself over and over again. If you're doing well, it's because everyone you've brought in has been trained correctly. That's the way to real success: teaching and training everyone who comes down the pike.
PowerUP! is a great opportunity to learn firsthand from the pros in our business and industry. These professionals will fuel your drive to boost your Viridian business long after you leave Maryland. This year the focus will be on doing just that: elevating your business, your life, your purpose. Take advantage of PowerUP! 2016. Join us to be transformed and inspired like never before!
With the recent announcement of a new direction for Viridian, PowerUP! now offers the added bonus of hearing directly from our new leaders on future growth plans for the company.

As it does each January, the Canastota wrestling team served as the host for Saturday's Richard New Memorial Touranment, which drew a field of 12, including long-time Section III powers Fulton and Phoenix.
Overall, the Raiders had 88 points, taking eighth place, but in the race at the top, Fulton would prevail, 294.5 points to Phoenix's 271.
Canastota' Zach Zupan, the champion at 160 pounds, got to share Most Outstanding Wrestler honors with Phoenix's Kyle Crisafulli, a former state champion.
Zupan pinned Jordan Kalil (Fayetteville-Manlius) in 1:47, then won an 8-7 classic over Corcoran's Lamont Fleming in the semifinals. This set up a tough final against Cato-Meridian standout Nick Lalone — but Zupan was ready for it, doing enough to earn a 6-4 decision and the top spot on the podium.
Tyler Sirota earned a trip to the 145-pound final with wins over Nic Bacon (Chittenango) and Marcus Earl (Fulton),, only to fall to Phoenix's Tyler Button in a pin midway through the third period. Fred Sherman's last-second pin of David Lee (Pittsford) in the consolation match secured third place at 189 pounds.
Chittenango also earned a title here, at 130 pounds, thanks to sophomore Wesley Blanding. He pinned Canastota's Dakota Tucker in 29 seconds, also pinned Marcel Lachance (Little Falls) in 2:40 in the semifinal round and beat Pittsford's Connor Moar 7-2 for the title.
Up at 96 pounds, Cody Carberry used pins over Eric Annette (Cato-Meridian) and Remington Lynch (Phoenix), both in the first period, to reach the finals, but lost to Dillon Stowell (Gouverneur) in the title match, settling for second place.
Here are the final team standings at the Richard New Memorial Tournament:
1. Fulton 294.5
2. Phoenix 271.0
3. Pittsford 227.5
4. Gouverneur 205.0
5. Deposit-Hancock 109.0
6. Fayetteville-Manlius 97.5
7. Cato-Meridian 92.0
8. Canastota 88.0
9. Fabius-Pompey 87.5
10. Chittenango 81.0
11. Corcoran 27.0
12. Herkimer 3.0

A New York Times study found that nearly 20% of Americans drink dirty water from contaminated reservoirs that are filled with arsenic, dangerous bacteria, and even uranium.
In New York alone, 205 water systems have violated the clean drinking water laws but have never been punished because the federal government has often not enforced those laws under Bush. In every case of a violation, the government was notified.
According to the New York Times, less than 6% of violators were punished in any way despite the fact that as many as 19 million in the United States get sick from dirty or contaminated drinking water.
One example of this is Ramsey, NJ where studies found that the drinking water contained not just arsenic but a dry cleaning chemical called tetrachloroethylene. They were not punished.
In other cases, the E.P.A. found that drinking water contained 2,000% more radium than legally allowed.
This phenomenon comes from two places, deregulation and politics.
Since the nineties brought deregulation to industries and the Bush Administration began to greatly weaken environmental protection laws, the amount of chemicals in the water has skyrocketed and many water systems have gone for more than five years without warning or punishment or even aid to clean up the water despite the vast amounts of dangerous bacteria and chemicals that have been detected in the water.
At the same time, the federal government has been reluctant to fine or punish these water systems because many of these towns would not be able to pay large government fines. While it sounds reasonable in principle, those systems continue to pump dangerous water into our homes.
The E.P.A. is supposedly getting ready to create greater restrictions on drinking water. It is left to be seen how much of the damage done by the White House and Congress over the last fifteen years can be undone.

Police are now accusing the homeowner, 20-year-old Reed Anderson, of staging the robbery and then the arson. Police say the man lit the fire himself to destroy evidence that might have shown his home invasion story was fabricated. They did not explain why the man staged the home invasion and subsequent arson; relatives have reported that the man is mentally ill, according to police Corporal Aaron D. Rosen. KSL news video embedded below:
Video Courtesy of KSL.com
The Crisis Intervention Team for Bluffdale Police Departments says they will continue to follow-up on the conditions of this case but apparent facts, evidence and statements relative to the case were sent to the Salt Lake District Attorney's Office for screening and review. The DA office will then determine criminal charges, if any, after careful review.
When the story first broke, a number of people were suspicious, and expressed their skepticism in the Salt Lake Tribune:
finn01 [Moderator] 5 days ago
I call BS. There, I've said it. So, the homeowner hits the intruder with a shovel, has his house set on fire and he's home both times. Didn't both events happen in broad daylight? No one noticed anything suspicious? Financial trouble?
cult_of_skaro [Moderator] 4 days ago in reply to finn01
He's home both times? Does he work nights, if he works?
Yep finn, this sounds very suspicious....
The story seemed plausible to me at the time. Burglars are getting particularly bold and brazen; some have no fear of breaking into a place while a resident is there. And some would be uppity enough to return for vengeance if they were sent packing with a beating. But the fact that Anderson was at home both times should have generated more skepticism.

Taoism/The Twelfth Parable: Birth of the Immortal Lao Tse
Lao Tse was sitting in a deep meditation.
The flame of a non-material fire was lighting up Huang Di and other Immortals Who gathered near this fire.
Lao Tse said:
"That's all. The work of my life is finished; the manuscript of the book about Tao and Te is left in good hands. Scribes have already started copying it to guard for centuries.
"I finished everything and I am ready for the death of my body. I am fully prepared to leave this world and pass to the life with You, among other Immortals in the Abode of Tao."
Huang Di replied:
"Good! Come with Me into the Depths! I accept you!
"Now dissolve yourself completely in the Great United We, Which is called Tao."
… It seemed to Lao Tse that he had left his material body forever.
He became both the Transparent Calm of the Ocean of Tao and the Fire That comes from It.
A former Lao Tse did not exist anymore. He became one of the Immortal Te Who abide in the Unity with the Power That creates material worlds and controls them.
… It was a total surprise for Lao Tse to get back into his body. Yet this body was no longer the same. He could easily remove it by dissolving it in the formless or recreate it anywhere.
The body of Lao Tse became filled with the United We, and the Ocean of Tao moved together with this body as if carrying it on the crest of Its Wave.
Thus, from that moment on, Lao Tse should carry the Great Wisdom and show the Power of Tao and Te to the incarnate people, perceiving everything that happens with them from the Unity with Tao.

We help leaders and organizations make difficult changes to achieve their most important goals. Our work with clients provides an expeditious route to change, on a deep level, for transformational growth and sustainability.
Using the acclaimed Immunity to Change (ITC) approach to achieve individual or collective goals, we help clients quickly surface their hidden barriers to change, competing commitments preventing change and the underlying beliefs holding the counter-productive system in place. Clients identify and outgrow unproductive thoughts and assumptions, discovering new perspectives and making way for sustainable change, even where previous attempts have been unsuccessful.
Immunity to Change is an evidence-based approach, founded in adult development theory and developed by Robert Kegan, Ph.D. and Lisa Lahey Ed.D. of Harvard University, known across industries as a highly effective method to get at the root of deeply held beliefs that serve a purpose but prevent change. Clients become less reactive, more innovative and have a greater ability to see and hold multiple perspectives for increased effectiveness in more challenging and complex environments.
We work with individuals, teams and organizations.

Spent a week here and enjoyed the resort. Water is beautiful to watch although you cannot swim in 20 foot crashing waves. Pools are plentiful and beautiful, several infinity pools where you can sit in the water and watch the ocean. Pool bars have great nachos.
Things to be aware of: based on other reviews that discuss the high price of drinks and food, we bought beer and snacks at Costco. What we didn't realize is that there is a 15 dollar per day charge to use the refrigerator in your room; so be sure and get a disposable ice chest (ice is free). There are several 2 for 1 happy hours that move from bar to bar starting at 11:00am and going until 6:00pm. The front desk will give you the list of where and when. Even so, the happy hour brings prices down to 5 dollar mixed drinks and 3 dollar beers.
After checking in, you will be sent to what we thought was the concierge at a desk near check in. She is actually there to sign you up for the time share pitch which comes with a free breakfast and various resort discounts. We were told that these things were offered to us because we were staying a week.....not true. They will ask for a refundable 20 dollar deposit for the breakfast to make sure you show up.
Lastly, the resort put a 800+ dollar hold on our credit card for incidentals. This would not have been such a problem had they told us about it. As it were, my husband saw the charge on his IPad and thought we had our credit card stolen. They were apologetic, but still. Also, there are 2 places for breakfast; Tomatoes is and all you can eat buffet for about 27 dollars per person and Girasoles is an all you can order off the menu for 16 per person, both include mimosas and bloody marys......don't confuse them as we did! All of these things happened the first day and we were very upset. Day two through seven were great however. Beautiful beach, beautiful weather, many fun places to explore if you rent a car (recommended).

The North Carolina National Guard post in Elkin will be growing in land mass as well as motor fleet following action by the Elkin Board of Commissioners Monday night.
While representatives of the National Guard were expected to attend Monday's meeting, Elkin Public Works Director Robert Fuller said since the local post is an engineering unit, they likely had been deployed to the eastern part of the state to assist with flooding and other problems caused by Hurricane Matthew.
About a year ago, the National Guard approached the town, Fuller explained, with the proposition that if the town would give the National Guard three acres of land, then the Guard would provide an easement to allow gravity-fed sewer lines to reach the town's public works facility and four other properties on Carter Mill Road. At present, the town has to use a pump to send wastewater to the lines.
Fuller said the NC National Guard is working to consolidate its facilities across the state, and its leaders have a desire to triple the size of the motor fleet at the Elkin Armory on North Bridge Street, but are unable to do that on the existing property due to space constraints.
According to a map provided by the National Guard in its presentation for Monday evening, the plan is to create eight main hubs around the state, and then each of those hubs will connect with 28 spoke locations, with Elkin being one of those, and another 11 transitional sites will exist. In the master plan map, Mount Airy would no longer be the site of an armory.
The approximate three and a half acres requested by the armory is a wooded area directly behind the existing facility.
The Guard information noted that any property acquisition by the National Guard "would include a reverter clause back to the governmental entity of choice. Current deed includes a reverter clause to the Elkin/Jonesville City of Commerce."
Commissioner Dr. Skip Whitman questioned whether the finalized parking area at the site would aggrevate the runoff into Big Elkin Creek, but Fuller said he thought the work would actually improve the situation.
The commissioners voted unanimously, following a motion by Commissioner Bob Norton and a second by Commissioner J.L. Lowe, to approve the donation of land to the National Guard in exchange for the easement for the sewer line.
