Three Random Satsangs
ShiningWorld Reader
Nothing Changes but the Status of the World
Robert: Hi, Sundari. I came across James' teaching randomly after almost 15 years since I started coming across non-duality teachers, and I always read them (Ramana, Nisargadatta, etc.) but could never figure out what they were talking about. It just didn't make sense to me. But I became curious about it once again after some coincidences. (My wife, who is not interested in spiritual things, randomly bought a book on the Upanishads, and I thought I should figure out what this is about and came across James' teachings about three months ago.) As I went through his video series, something clicked in me and it just felt like pieces of all the religious puzzles fitted together into a teaching that I felt was very confident in.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I bought his book and am planning on buying the offline videos, but had a question on the jiva, below. I would appreciate if you could help with my understanding. I hope James does a retreat sometime in California, as I would love to meet you guys!
Sundari: I'm glad you wrote, Robert. We all come to Vedanta when we are ready to hear it, and if we are not ready we will not understand it. The mind must have developed the qualifications for self-inquiry – the main qualifications being enough discrimination to have realised that the joy is not in objects, dispassion about indulging its likes and dislikes, among many others, faith in the scripture being a big one. Also, if we read the scriptures without having them unfolded by a qualified teacher, we will most likely not gain the full import, because the mind will interpret the teachings according to its conditioning. We are happy to assist you with your self-inquiry but you need to do some work on your own, Robert, too. There is a very strict methodology and progression to the teachings for good reason. Vedanta is a valid means of knowledge to remove ignorance, and it works, if it is correctly followed by you and unfolded for you by a qualified teacher. Please make sure you read all the instructions we give on our home page to inquirers who write in, and follow them carefully. If you are serious about freedom from limitation and you would like our help, you need to have a burning desire for moksa and do the work. A middling or piddling desire will not bear much fruit.
Vedanta is a radical teaching and it will strip the ego of its attachment to its identity, meaning, its identification with the body-mind. The ego is a fear-thought born of ignorance of your true nature. The whole point of self-inquiry is not to destroy the ego, but to deconstruct it in the light of self-knowledge so that Robert can live free of the ego as the self – and not as Robert and the self. Robert remains but he is known, understood and loved as is, but you no longer identify with him as your primary identity. But if it is the ego trying to enlighten the ego, there is no solution, because the ego will still be conditioned by its vasanas and will not let go of its idea of doership. It will hang on tenaciously because it believes that letting go will mean it ceases to exist.
As I said above, the main qualification for self-inquiry is that the mind has come to the firm realisation that there is no solution in the world of objects, that they are empty of any real or lasting meaning, and there must be something else that gives life meaning. The ego, or "I" sense (identification with the body-mind), is the biggest hurdle to see as an object known to you. The ego will most definitely kick against this, as it refuses to believe it is not real and that the joy is not in objects. It cannot see that the joy of objects comes only from awareness.
Robert: Question: in ignorance, we mention that there is a sense of incompleteness and the person in ignorance does things that might be adharmic to (incorrectly) try and fulfill a sense of incompleteness. I assume that this leads to it taking actions that are driven by these needs. Assuming the person reaches a point where through self-inquiry can see that he doesn't need to feel incomplete, then is it fair to assume that the jiva will lose the need to seek comfort in those things that supposedly make it complete?
Sundari: Yes, correct. The whole point of moksa is freedom from dependence on objects for my happiness, fulfillment, sense of self – or anything else. The belief that we need objects to complete us or make us happy is the source of all suffering and limitation. Moksa is the ability to discriminate you (awareness, that which is real, meaning always present and unchanging, or satya) from the objects (that which is only apparently real, meaning not always present and always changing, or mithya) that arise in you 24/7, never to confuse the two again. This is freedom, the essence of Vedanta. The world will not magically change, you will not "transcend" it, Robert will remain Robert with his particular personality and karma stream, but you will no longer be bothered by the world or by Robert, because both are objects known to you.
Robert: So does that mean that it will stop being motivated to act out of fears?
Sundari: That is the ultimate aim of self-inquiry, yes. But it is not quite that simple to get to that point. A mind that has been conditioned by ignorance and has chased objects for completion for as long as time exists does not easily surrender. Although you may intellectually understand the process of self-realisation, for self-knowledge to remove ignorance permanently, all binding vasanas must be rendered non-binding and the sense of doership negated. I have attached a satsang on the nine steps to self-inquiry for you to read. Make sure you understand and follow each step carefully and slowly by reading (and re-reading) James' books and signing on to the logic. Do not skip and do not be in a hurry. A very good sadhana would be to sign on to the 12-month teaching course we have available for free on the website, based on James' book The Essence of Enlightenment, with relevant questions and answers. And make use of the e-satsang section on our website, which has a search function. There are literally thousands of pages of high-level Vedanta, all questions you could think of have already been answered there in great detail by all ShiningWorld writers, including this one.
Robert: My concern is that a lot of things, like working at a job, are done out of a fear of upsetting a client or a boss, and with self-knowledge, would the jiva not want to do these things and instead take a more chilled-out approach to life or lose motivation to work hard?
Sundari: For the jiva to have peace of mind, it needs to follow dharma – and dharma is a complex topic. Universal dharma, or the laws that run the field of existence, are the same for everyone, such as non-injury and the laws of physics. We transgress those at our peril. But everyone is different, so how we relate to universal dharma will be slightly different for everyone. And our personal dharma, or svadharma, which is the nature, personality and karma we were born with, is also different for everyone. To be happy and achieve peace of mind, our lives must conform to both universal and personal dharma. You need to work that out for yourself.
A prevalent myth in the spiritual world is that the jiva will somehow change or become redundant through moksa. Thanks to all the rubbish that is "out there" in the spiritual arena on enlightenment, many inquirers erroneously believe that somehow the person needs to be changed, perfected. Or when enlightened, will assume mythic powers, become transcendental, soaring above life and all that is mundane. Well, it is just not like that. This is because the jiva never leaves the apparent reality, thus the jiva is and always will be limited, even though the essence of the jiva is awareness, which is unlimited (meaning not conditioned by anything). Awareness is and always has been limitless. All that changewhs for the jiva when self-knowledge has obtained is the why and how it contacts objects. It no longer does anything seeking happiness; it does everything happily, always with the karma yoga spirit, knowing that it is only Isvara who is in charge of the results of all actions and takes care of the field. The jivanmukta, or free jiva, sees all life as the self, itself, but discriminates itself from the objects that appear in it automatically, at all times.
Self-knowledge gives the mind the ever-present confidence of the self, no matter what is or is not happening in the life of the jiva. Life goes on as "before" enlightenment; it does not change the jiva's karma stream, except indirectly, over time, because it takes a while for all the effects of ignorance to dissolve and fall away, like the blades of the fan take a while to stop turning when the fan is switched off.
Robert: I have a bit of trouble trying to wonder about whether I should worry about how self-knowledge will affect my life or maybe I shouldn't be worrying if I think that it will be for the best. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Sundari: Who is asking the question here, Robert? This is the ego talking about its fear of the loss of identity, its fear of non-existence – and its fear of having to give up its likes and dislikes.
You also seem to think that enlightenment will confer a special experience or status. It does not. We experience awareness every minute of every day because there is only awareness, and without it we would not exist. So we do not become more aware or change when ignorance of our true nature is removed by self-knowledge. Although moksa is freedom from and for the jiva (the doer, or ego), it is not about improving or changing the jiva, although usually it does improve because enlightenment means we have dissolved the doer and rendered binding vasanas non-binding.
The function of objects does not change with enlightenment. All that changes are the status of the world and of the jiva. Both are no longer seen as real, because you know yourself to be that which is real, from which all objects arise and on which on all objects depend for their existence – and you know you are the non-experiencing entity that knows the experiencing entity (jiva/ego) and all objects.
~ Love, Sundari

In The Emperor's Wake
Joshua Edward Norton
Failed Businessman
Eccentric Beggar
Emperor of the United States of America
Protector of Mexico
Warden of the White Council
For over three decades, Emperor Norton the First entertained, bemused, and secretly protected the citizens of San Francisco. He first came to town investigating a string of strange cholera epidemics that had ravaged the local populace and banished the plague spirits responsible. Even then, he saw that San Francisco had a bright future and an amazing potential, should it survive it's growing pains and various supernatural predations. He convinced the White Council to allow him to stay and live in San Francisco, guarding against Jade Court infiltration and the animistic tribal magics the displaced natives could bring to bear. And under Norton's blatant protection, San Francisco blossomed into a true rose on the frontier.
Yesterday evening, the Emperor dropped dead, leaving San Francisco without a protector as it's citizenry mourns the loss of one of their most colorful characters.
Norton guided the city into it's Golden Age, who decides where it goes from here?

Sean Shibe
"Shibe gathers the listener into its unsettling, fantastical soundworld with an intensity that combines gracefulness and threat with rapier skill"
BBC Music Magazine
"Shibe is another Bream, or something close. His playing unites finesse and poetry, and beautifully suggests a continuity of idiom."
The Sunday Times
Sean Shibe is "one of the foremost guitarists" of his generation. In 2018 Sean Shibe won the Young Artist Award from the Royal Philharmonic Society following a hugely successful debut album release on Delphian Records, which also won him a nomination in the BBC Music Magazine 'Instrumental Award' category. Dreams and Fancies is a recording that explores the fruits of Julian Bream's history of commissioning in the 20th Century alongside music by Dowland and was named Editor's Choice in Gramophone as well as BBC Music Magazine's Instrumental Choice.
Alongside the success of his recording debut, Sean Shibe's "uncompromisingly monumental" project softLOUD premiered at the East Neuk and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals – a revelatory programme juxtaposing Jacobean lute music for classical guitar, with electric guitar arrangements of multi-tracked repertoire including US Pulitzer prize winning composers Julia Wolfe's powerful elegy LAD, (originally written for 9 bagpipes) and David Lang's Killer. These works form part of the critically acclaimed softLOUD recording which was named Instrumental Choice in the BBC Music Magazine.
Born in Edinburgh in 1992 of English and Japanese heritage, he studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and with Paolo Pegoraro in Italy. At the age of 20 he became the first guitarist to be selected for the BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme, and the only solo guitarist to be awarded a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship. He was a YCAT artist between 2015 – 2017.
He has performed at internationally renowned venues including Aldeburgh Festival, Bath International Festival, Heidelberger-Frühling and the Musashino Hall in Tokyo. He returned to the Marlboro Summer Music Festival on the invitation of Mitsuko Uchida, and has extensively toured in China.
Recent and future highlights include debut concerts with the Pacific Symphony, Scottish Ensemble, and Trondheim Symphony orchestras, as well as recitals at Wigmore Hall, Oper Frankfurt, the Lammermuir Festival, MiTo Settembre Musica Festival in Milan and Turin, the Liszt Academy in Budapest, the Hayward Gallery at London's Southbank Centre and a tour of Ireland.
With an acute interest in commissioning new works and arrangements for the instrument, Sean Shibe performs music by Michael Murray, James MacMillan and Daniel Kidane.
He has appeared with the BBC Scottish Symphony, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Royal Philharmonic, and BBC Symphony Orchestras performing Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and Fantasía para un Gentilhombre, the Malcolm Arnold and Villa-Lobos Concertos, and recording Takemitsu's To the Edge of Dream. He has recorded solo works by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies for Linn Records as part of a Scottish Chamber Orchestra disc, as well as John Adams Naive and Sentimental Music with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra on Chandos.
His awards include the Royal Over-Seas League First Prize and Gold Medal (2011), Ivor Mairants Guitar Award (2009), a Dewar Arts and D'Addarrio endorsement. He is grateful for support from the Hattori Trust.

Delphian Records (DCD34213)
[He] is an artist blessed with grace to spare, and a roar that is fearsome.
Paul Riley, BBC Music Magazine, Instrumental Choice *****
The talented young Scottish guitarist Sean Shibe brings this bracingly original concert programme featuring music for acoustic and electric guitars into the recording studio. The results, like the performances themselves, are spectacular.
[There is] something about cumulative effect. About taking the music of the past and transforming it. Or deconstructing it. Or dissolving into it. Or just plain smashing it.
William Yeoman, Gramophone
...a definitive performance of Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint
Erica Jeal, The Guardian
…the second Delphian album is the sort of release for which the potential audience is vast... The first hard-to-ignore contender for the Scottish Album of the Year award from a classical label? I very much think so.
Keith Bruce, The Herald
This disc works on so many levels.
Graham Rickson, The Arts Desk
In serving such a mixed menu, Shibe is showcasing his extraordinary versatility...All performances find Shibe in impressive form.
Classical Guitar Spring 2019
The early works are drawn from sources including the Wemyss, Balcarres, Rowallan and Straloch Manuscripts, and are presented by Shibe on modern guitar without apology. It is pure delight to hear Shibe—unburdened by any sense of historicist orthodoxy—taking full advantage of the modern classical instrument and stamping his own artistic ownership all over them...Entirely deserving of the attention and awards it has begun to receive,softLOUD is something you'll want to listen to in two halves, as well as straight through. It's absolutely riveting. It's the most eloquent musical scream on record.
David Lee, Scottish Review of Books
Naïve and Sentimental Music
Royal Scottish National Orchestra / Chandos Records (CHSA5199)
A word of warning: in these desolate stretches, Sean Shibe may steal your heart with his guitar solo.
Patrick Rucker, Gramophone Magazine
Dreams and Fancies
Delphian Records (DCD34193)
In his debut solo album...Sean Shibe performs with superb artistry some of the now classics that Bream inspired. Prime in any such catalogue is Britten's 1963 Nocturnal after John Dowland, and Shibe gathers the listener into its unsettling, fantastical soundworld with an intensity that combines gracefulness and threat with rapier skill.
BBC Music Magazine, Instrumental Choice *****
Mesmerising... Shibe brings an electrifyingly discursive quality ... balanced by an even-tempered yet intensely reflective grace.
Gramophone Magazine, Editor's Choice
This is the best solo guitar disc I've heard. That it comes from a soloist in his twenties makes it all the more astounding ... Remarkable stuff, and the range of colours which Shibe draws from just six strings is extraordinary.
The Arts Desk
What is it about the young Edinburgh-born Sean Shibe that marks him out as one of the foremost guitarists of the young generation? It is quite simply that rare symbiosis of technical mastery and innate musicality. The evidence is there from bar one of this latest album, which is a golden representation of the old and new in English guitar music.
The Scotsman
The most seductive of charmed sounds… Shibe is another Bream, or something close. His playing unites finesse and poetry, and beautifully suggests a continuity of idiom.
The Sunday Times
Everything here is rich in melody and Shibe is as articulate a virtuoso as Bream, communicating the precision of these intimate chamber pieces with real passion. It also speaks volumes of an adventurous musician that, singularity of instrument aside, the album could hardly be further from the music Shibe played at the East Neuk Festival on the road to a week's run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Both incarnations of his performing are unmissable.
The Herald
It's not often a guitar recital leaves me slightly stunned, but this one did. Just listen to the sound, the way Shibe changes the colour even during a phrase... what a seductive sound, incredibly clean playing, and almost miraculous changes of colour and timbre, never empty gestures, always to articulate the counterpoint and phrasing. Shibe manages to highlight Walton's inventive brilliance, Dowland's harmonic modernity, Lennox Berkeley's elegance in his Sonatina, Malcolm Arnold's extrovert quirkiness in his Fantasy and he ends with an extraordinarily articulate and compelling performance of Benjamin's Britten's Nocturnal after John Dowland. Inspired by Julian Bream's pioneering spirit perhaps, but this is playing on an exalted level and the recording gives everything a resonant halo that allows the sound to bloom beautifully. If you only by one guitar recital this year - it's called Dreams & Fancies.
Andrew McGregor, quoted from BBC Radio 3's Record Review
East Neuk Festival (June 2017)
Shibe [is] an infallible galvaniser as well as something completely different… that soft, hauntingly inflected and coloured soft playing at which Shibe, more than any other acoustic guitarist I've ever heard, truly excels… Only Shibe could have thought of asking her [Julia Wolfe] if she minded his transcribing it for nine electric guitars: genius, a term which should rarely be applied to performing musicians, but at 25 he has it.
David Nice, The Arts Desk
LAD by US composer Julia Wolfe, originally for nine bagpipers and getting its UK premiere in a new version by Shibe for multitracked electric guitars... Shibes towering textures of mournful, slowly rising harmonies, which made their mark almost physically in the intimate space of Anstruther's Dreel Halls. But it was the work's uncompromising monumentality that made it really memorable.
The Scotsman
Wigmore Hall Recital
Wigmore Hall (February 2014)
From the very first note he plays, Sean Shibe immediately draws in the attention of the audience… Sean Shibe created a magical atmosphere; he seems to intimately understand the meaning behind every note which he plays.
Classical Guitar Magazine
Rodrigo – Concierto de Aranjuez
Scottish Chamber Orchestra (September 2012)
A prodigious technician and supremely expressive player, Shibe gave a masterful account of this much-loved work.
Maxwell Davies – Mill Runes & Farewell to Stromness
Linn Records (CKD 534)
The beautifully executed guitar interludes are supplied by Edinburgh's Sean Shibe; Hill Runes is based on a cryptic five-stanza poem by Orkney poet George Mackay Brown, while Farewell to Stromness is an arrangement by Timothy Walker of the piano original.

Propane Fill Stations USA / Canada
Login or register to download files
Raw file: Propane Stations.gpx (2.25 MB)
Thanks to user mountaindweller4 for the previous version and the idea. Yep, you read right, now includes Canada!
One thing that most GPSs don't do well, is find propane. That's because the name of the establishment doesn't often contain the word "propane." This will give you a head start. Data in this file comes from US Department of Energy, and Natural Resources Canada, extracted April 10, 2018. Operating hours in Comments field in the GPX file.
When looking for propane, also think outside the box. Think of chain stores that often have fill stations, especially in rural areas. Tractor Supply Co., Ace Hardware and Menard's are examples. If you have a big rig, you may want to call these places before trekking over there, because you may not be able to get close enough to the pump. Keep in mind that some only do portable tanks, so ask when you call: Can you fill my RV? Or occasionally they may be out of propane. But they can be a lot cheaper than places on the Interstate like Flying J. There are also big gas companies like Amerigas and Ferrellgas. Whenever you're off the Interstate, keep an eye out for big yards full of tanks and trucks. Most of them can fill you up. Finally, if your GPS seems to be missing a lot of these places and you want all the data you can get, you can find POI files for some of them as well.
In Canada, you are more likely than in the US to find propane at a gas station. Maybe there are more propane-powered cars? Anyway, sometimes the blue fuel signs on the highway will show a "P" or "Propane" under the station.
Camping World now offers 15% off propane every day to Good Sam Club members.

The Mechanical Earth Model Building course is a VILT (virtually instructor led training) delivered in real time. The course will be delivered in 4 hour segments over a 2 day period and is delivered using the WebEx platform
This course is designed to introduce geomechanics workflows that are used to build wellbore-centric Mechanical Earth Models (1D MEM). The course will combine virtual lectures with short software demonstrations. The theoretical foundation to understand wellbore geomechanics is introduced by lectures on the state of stress in the earth, pore pressure, rock mechanics properties and their measurements, as well as the application of a 1D MEM to wellbore stability analysis.
The course will be delivered in 2 virtual sessions of 4 hours each. The first session introduces the fundamentals of well-centric petroleum geomechanics and begins to build a mechanical earth model by discussing overburden stress, pore pressure and rock mechanical properties. The second session then discusses horizontal stress to finalize the mechanical earth model and puts it all together in a wellbore stability analysis
At the end of the course attendees will be able to:
Day 1
Fundamentals of well-centric petroleum geomechanics, Overburden and pore pressure estimation (4 hours)
Day 2
Horizontal Stress, Wellbore stability and the Mechanical Earth Model (4 hours)
Geologists, geophysicists, drilling engineers, production engineers, completion engineers, reservoir engineers, exploration supervisors and managers concerned with well-centric geomechanics modeling and wellbore stability.
Each student will need the fooling to attend:

Improving Your Writing Skills to Create a Good Doctoral Dissertation
Writing a dissertation is a long and drawn out process. There's so much work that needs to go into it, and it takes a good chunk of time to complete it. Sometimes, you're going to feel like you can't finish it, or that your work isn't good enough. Well, don't worry too much. Follow these handy tips to keep your writing sharp.
- Don't Waffle
- Be Concise
- Cite Often
- No Adverbs
- Review, Review, Review
Don't Waffle
Say what you need to say. No more, no less. Don't add in extra words to fill your word count. Don't waffle. Just say it, and move on.
Be Concise
Try not to get yourself confused. If you're confused, your writing will be confusing and your readers will find themselves flummoxed. Make sure you know what you're trying to say before you put it to paper. Don't get carried away writing it down when you have the thought. Flesh it out. Double check everything and then, only then, start your writing.
Cite Often
Some writing isn't in and of itself bad, but if you don't reference your work it's pretty useless to you and it might even land you in some hot water if they think you're plagiarizing. So cite often and make sure you're not accidently getting yourself in trouble. On top of that, a good citation proves you're not just making this stuff up. If you can cite someone who agrees with you it shows both that you're on the right track and you're not alone.
Less Adverbs
We well-placed adverb can work wonders. In case you're wondering, an adverb is anything that ends in –ly. They describe a very. So, for instance: he walked quickly. Here, the word 'quickly' is an adverb. And it's fine, but a much stronger verb would be: he jogged, he ran, and he sprinted. Often, an adverb can be replaced with a stronger verb, which more directly tackles what you're trying to say. Of course, not all adverbs are bad, but too many clutters up the page, so prune them out.
Review, Review, Review
Good writing is merely better editing. Don't rely on your first draft to pull you through. Don't even rely on your second, or third. Put your drafts through the works until you can't even recognize it and you're sick of looking at it.

Allen wants to know:
Do you have any instructions on meditation, Kabbalah spiritual practices?
Gutman writes:
First, we cannot expect Hashem to do what we want Him to do, if we do not do what He wants us to do. This means living a life of Torah and Mitzvahs.
Next, meditation can bring physical results such as lower blood pressure, and it can also bring improved spiritual awareness depending on the technique you use.
To receive the physical benefits, choose a subject, focus on it… when the mind goes off the subject gently bring it back to that subject over and over again.
To attain our spiritual goals, try doing what King Dovid said to do:
"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courtyards with praise."
This still applies to us today.
Thank Hashem over and over again. This brings us through His outer gates. Then, think of how great Hashem really is. Think of all the wonderous things about Hashem that you can. This brings us even closer, into His very courtyards.
When we succeed with these, we will want even more. We will yearn to see His very Presence. King Dovid asked, "How long will You hide Your Face from me?"
"Hashem's Face" is a metaphor for the revelation of His Presence. This most wonderous experience is revealed only from the Higher to the lower. We have to do whatever we can to open all these gates, but this highest, most mystical experience happens only when G-d chooses. This means that when we please Him, He will open this most holy door for a moment.

Papilio ascalaphus (Sulawesi Blue Mormon)

I was able to reproduce this problem when the workers hadn't finished provision for the cluster, so that might be the cause.
If the cluster is deployed, you have already setup the namespace with kubectl, and you are still having this problem, please post the latest Incident ID and I will see if I can figure out the exact cause.

VILLA PARK – Willowbrook High School boasts a rich history of standout athletes, including many who went on to professional careers, since the school opened in 1964. The Warriors have three state titles (boys gymnastics in 1964 and badminton in 1998 and 1999), 11 state trophies in total and count 12 different athletes who have won individual state titles. Here is a selection of some of the school's most accomplished athletes.
Jody Gerut
Sport: Baseball
Willowbrook class: 1995
Highlights: Gerut won seemingly every award conceivable when he was a Warrior. He was a high school All-American and represented the U.S. at a youth level. At Stanford, he was a two-time All-Pac 10 player, an All-American in 1998 and played in the College World Series in 1997. The Colorado Rockies drafted him in the second round of the 1998 draft and made his major league debut in 2003 with the Cleveland Indians. Gerut was named The Sporting News MLB Rookie of the Year that season. He also played for the Cubs, Pirates, Padres and Brewers. From 2003 to 2010, the outfielder hit .262 in 1,992 career plate appearances and hit for the cycle in 2010 with Milwaukee. He retired before the 2011 season. The Stanford graduate is coaching at Chicagoland Baseball Academy in Niles.
Tom Hicks
Sport: Football
Willowbrook class: 1971
Highlights: After starring at Willowbrook, where he was an all-state linebacker in 1970, Hicks continued his career at Illinois. In his final year at Illinois, Hicks was named the team's defensive MVP and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection. At the time, he broke Dick Butkus' school record for unassisted tackles with 274. The Chicago Bears drafted Hicks in the sixth round in 1975 and he played all five years of his NFL career with the Bears. He totaled five interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown.
Andrea Kenny
Sport: Volleyball, basketball, softball
Willowbrook class: 1992
Highlights: Plenty of athletes are three-sport stars in high school and a select few are lucky enough to continue playing two sports in college, but playing all three in college? That's what Kenny, known as Andrea Miller, pulled off at Austin Peay. She wasn't just a roster filler either. She remains fourth on Austin Peay's all-time career 3-point percentage, 10th on the career aces list and 15th in career digs, and holds five single-season and five career hitting records in softball.
Kirk Mango
Sport: Gymnastics

Sport: Baseball
Willowbrook class: 1971

Rob Scahill
Sport: Baseball
Willowbrook class: 2005

He made 504 career appearances, 121 starts and totaled 1,317 innings. Schatzeder had a 3.74 ERA with 748 strikeouts and a 69-68 record.

People that are enthusiastic about motorcycles spend a lot of money into their bikes by adding extras to them. One way that you can save money on the overall cost of the improvements you make on your motorcycle is to begin with a used one and customize it from then onwards.
Get the History on the Bike Before You Buy
In theory, purchasing a previously owned motorcycle seems like a perfect answer. However, you should keep in mind that your insurance won't cover the damages and problems that are already present when you buy the motorcycle, so you should make sure you know the entire story of the motorcycle's history.
Test Drive It Before You Purchase It
Something you should never do is buy a vehicle without test driving it first, be it new or used. When test driving a used motorcycle, be sure to wear a helmet and don't test drive it unless you have a Class M license. When you test drive a motorcycle check its clutch, brakes, and acceleration, after you've become accustomed to how that model rides.
Another thing to check is that you pay attention to the sounds the bike makes as you're test driving it. You should listen for a loud muffler, rattling in the motorcycle's shocks, older bearings making a droning sound, and the breaks squealing excessively.
Take the Motorcycle to a Trusted Mechanic Before You Purchase It
When you purchase any kind of used vehicle, it's not a bad idea to go over it with your mechanic before you put any money on it. This is a great way to get a really good second opinion on whether or not you should purchase the vehicle, unless you happen to personally be a mechanic.
If insurance is a concern of yours in regards to your used or new motorcycle, call us before you purchase it at (651) 264-1230. We'll go over all the discounts, limits, and benefits you have available so you'll know how much of an impact your policy will have on your motorcycle purchasing budget, or fill in St Paul motorcycle insurance quote.

Three short days
So, yesterday was the most nerve-racking day. I was anxiously waiting for the news as to whether I would be accepted to the BYU Business undergrad program. I got the infamous email around 4:30 or so. I nervously clicked to open the email, and it didn't give me an answer. It directed me to another site to see, which again directed me to another web site. Finally, I read those blessed words, "Jason Millar, you have been recommended to attend the Marriott School of Management. Please send your acceptance..." This has all come so fast, but there's nothing I'd rather be doing. I feel like the luckiest man in the whole world, and I wanted the world to know it. I thank God every day for the blessing that Camille has been in my life and the joy that she brings. I am so excited to be married in the Nauvoo Temple. We leave tomorrow at around 11 for the airport. Then is the long haul of traveling. We'll arrive in Dayton late tomorrow night, and then we leave early in the morning to drive to Nauvoo which will take around 7 hours or so. Then on Saturday, we drive all the way back for the reception, then Sunday we'll be flying back to Utah. At least the company will be good for all of that :). Life is good. Sometimes in your life, it just seems like everything falls into place all at once.

15 is a Beautiful Number
Yay 15! My goodness, how quickly time flies! I'm absolutely loving life! I'm so excited to marry my best friend! So, I've moved in to our little married apartment, and its been so fun setting up house! Jason is living a few streets down with a roommate who is getting married in December. Its still lonely, and its still not home w/o Jason there, but its sure coming around! I love our evenings together, where we're putting up books and unpacking boxes, having dinner with limited dishes on our kitchen rug out of meals made without measuring cups or spoons, trying all night to set up our internet, and putting together our bed frame (which we got on Craig's List for $25!!! Beautiful cherry wood headboard and footboard with long posts that actually are too tall for our basement ceiling!) Ahh, married life is going to be wonderful!

When a building has to be constructed the principal quality that involves all of the price and the rates to go up is the material that is used for the building of the building, in the instance of commercial steel buildings the material is of course steel. Such buildings have an elaborate barn too and therefore the name that has to be correctly maintained and accounted for so inspection work is typically done in such accounts. Many industrial buildings are supported by means of a steel skeleton. Industrial steel buildings are created of manufactured metal and don't become susceptible to defects that might be found in wood. Receive all the options and you'll totally adore the steel buildings since it packs in a number of features which you're guaranteed to love. The first point to keep in mind is that you ought not rush in to purchase a steel building or maybe to select a steel building construction on the inexpensive prices alone. If it's a little steel building that you want to install then it probably is among those do it yourself" building projects a and you are able to construct in all on your own, but a larger building might demand a legal contractor for the erection of the building.
Steel is still the principal building material as a result of its physical properties. It is widely used in the construction industry. The stainless steel is also perfect for effortless cleanup. It however has been proven to be excellent building materials in large buildings. Finally it is prepared in a good form and it can be used anywhere. Steel in comparison with the other concrete materials that are used for the building of buildings is really quite a well priced material to utilize for the building of an industrial building and it actually works out to much cheaper because of the sturdiness of the material.
Metal building kits are prepared to assemble structures. At construction sites, they are used to store materials being used to complete the project being undertaken. There are several different varieties of steel building kits. Industrial storage steel building kits give portable and instant storage that could be used commercially or for individual use.
It shows our work and provides suppliers a place to meet up with different clients. So rather than needing to reach out to a lot of different handymen to determine which one is going to do the ideal work at the correct price, everything can be dealt with a single phone call. There's less work on the part aside from keeping dirt and trash from the pump area to stop clogging.
Your insurance carrier should cover any damage to your residence and roof, even when tree isn't from your own yard. It will cover the cost of the tree removal service, as well as anything that was damaged in your home because of your tree disaster, and obviously the construction company that will complete your roof repair. Many roofing services company provide roofing estimate in addition to the kind of materials they will use for your house.

|Funny, Scary or anti-social?
- The Burnley Clown
Have Britain's clowns gone crazy, or is someone out to ruin their reputation? Tony Eldridge, the secretary of Clowns International, certainly isn't laughing and has called for an end to a clown crime wave that has been plaguing Britain's towns for the past three months.
Police across the land have been inundated with reports from the public concerning clowns peering through their windows while brandishing knives and guns. There has even been a speeding incident including a clown on a motorbike.
Eldridge, whose clown name is Bluebottle, said: "This is doing clowning no favours and is harming society. The people behind it might see it as a bit of a laugh, but for the victims it can be a horrible experience.
"The fear of clowns – coulrophobia – is a real thing and some people will react very badly to this."
Bluebottle is especially worried about the harm being done to the reputation of professional clowns by the anti-social clowns who have been terrorising the streets of Britain. He added: "We have to reclaim clowning as a positive thing which brings happiness."
Sally Beadle - who clowns as Crazy Bananas - has said she is now afraid to go out in public in her clown outfit for fear of reprisals and even her children, who have grown up around clowning, have been scared by national news stories about people acting suspiciously while wearing a clown mask.
Superintendent Carl Edwards of Norfolk Police has warned the public to stay away from anti-social clowns after a number of incidents in Kings Lynn, including news reports of a clown in full costume and red hair chasing members of the public.
|The clown who started a craze
- The Northampton Clown
The clowning started in September, on the ominous date of Friday 13, when a student dressed like Pennywise, the scary clown from the Stephen King film It began making appearances near Northampton landmarks and inviting people to post pictures of him on Facebook.
The Northampton Clown admits he has given a few people a scare, but that they actually enjoy it and his intention is simply to give them a laugh.
A series of copycat clowns around the country, however, have taken things to another level of terror and several police forces have issued warnings to the public to beware of anti-social clowns.
Derbyshire and South Yorkshire police forces have each recorded nearly 30 clown-related incidents, including one of a clown carrying balloons and a knife and others of a clown jumping out from behind bushes to scare passers by and then chasing them.
Other clown incidents have been reported as far afield as Sussex, Wales and Northern Ireland as the clown craze grows.
So far, no one has been arrested for clowning, but it's believed police have gathered a number of clues including some very large footprints...

FCC Sends Net Rules to Federal Register
According to the FCC, it sent its network neutrality rules to the Federal Register Friday, Sept. 16. As soon as they are published, opponents of the rules can take them to court. They go into effect 60 days after publication.
Verizon already tried to take them to court, but a judge said it was jumping the gun.
The rules, which expand and codify the FCC's Internet access rules, were approved back in December 2010, but since they required some additional paperwork burdens on industry, they had to be vetted by the Office of Management and Budget, per the Paperwork Reduction Act, to ensure that paperwork was not out of line.
OMB signed off on the information collection portion.
Publication in the Federal Register usually takes a couple of weeks.

A military jury convicted a Schofield Barracks soldier yesterday of a reduced charge of assault in the death of an Iraqi civilian last year.
Army Spc. Christopher Shore of Winder, Ga., was found guilty of aggravated assault in the June 23 shooting death. He was sentenced to 120 days in jail, will have his rank reduced to private and will receive a reprimand. He was originally charged with murder, but that was reduced to manslaughter and the jury found him guilty of the lesser offense.
Shore contends he shot at the civilian but purposely missed after being ordered to kill the man. He says he was following the orders of his platoon leader, Sgt. 1st Class Trey Corrales.
Corrales is charged with premeditated murder and will be tried starting April 22.
A 26-year-old Schofield Barracks soldier was convicted yesterday of assault after being cleared of murdering a 28-year-old unarmed, wounded Iraqi civilian last summer.
Spc. Christopher Shore of Winder, Ga., was sentenced to 120 days in jail, will receive an official reprimand, and will be demoted to private.
Derrick Sparks, Shore's half brother, said the conviction on a lesser charge was "an answer to our prayers. We spent a long time praying. A lot of people prayed for my brother, and I want to tell everybody thank you. ... I knew my brother was innocent."
The verdict, by the jury of five enlisted soldiers and four officers, came after four hours of deliberation. Shore showed little emotion when the verdict was read, but once the court-martial went into a recess, he hugged his father, Brian; his wife, Katherin; and Sparks in the hallway outside of the courtroom.
During the sentencing phase of his court-martial, Shore cried when asked by his attorney Michael Waddington to describe his relations with members of his scout platoon.
Shore recalled that nearly half his platoon of 26 did not survive the 15-month Iraq deployment that ended in October. Ten soldiers died Aug. 22 when their Black Hawk helicopter crashed returning to base.
He initially had been charged with premeditated murder. He said he had been only following the orders of his platoon leader, Sgt. 1st Class Trey Corrales, during an early morning raid June 23 near Kirkuk. Corrales is charged with premeditated murder and will be tried starting April 22.
An investigative officer, following an Article 32 hearing in October, recommended that Shore be charged with aggravated assault. However, Lt. Gen. Benjamin Mixon, in one of his last actions as commanding general of the 25th Infantry Division, sent the matter to a court-martial with the manslaughter charge.
Army prosecutors maintained that Shore could have avoided firing his rifle by leaving the scene as other members of his platoon did.
Army prosecutor Capt. James Leary said Shore's decision to fire two shots at the victim was itself illegal.
Throughout the investigation, subsequent hearings and this week's court-martial, both sides did not dispute that Corrales shot the Iraqi. But there was conflicting testimony on whether Shore fired any shots at the victim. Waddington said Shore deliberately aimed away from the Iraqi's body.
Waddington repeatedly argued during the two-day court-martial that there was not enough forensic evidence to prove that bullets from Shore's M-4 carbine killed the Iraqi. He described the investigation as "sloppy," saying investigators initially went to the wrong house and excavated the wrong yard.
Waddington, in closing arguments, said Shore also was under duress because he feared his platoon leader, Corrales.
Yesterday, Waddington read into the court record the written statement of Essa Ahmed, the unit's interpreter, who said he was asked by Corrales to translate the word "run" in Arabic, which Corrales used several times in instructing the victim.
After hearing four shots, Ahmed said he heard Corrales tell his soldiers, "I killed that mother----."
An autopsy later revealed the Iraqi was shot five times in the head, left and right arms, and back.

Microsoft, MTV launch URGE
Microsoft joined with music television giant MTV on Wednesday in launching an online music service aimed at challenging Apple Computer's market-leading iTunes store. The beta, or test, version of the service launched in the US, dubbed "URGE," offers downloads from a catalog of two million songs for US$0.99, the same price as iTunes. It also will feature 130 CD-quality radio stations in a variety of musical genres and 500 "playlists" for subscribers of a service paying about US$10 a month or US$99 a year, similar to the services of Napster and RealNetworks. URGE is offering a 14-day free trial for the service. International versions of the URGE store will depend on the success of the US launch, which will be updated later this year, company officials said.

BK shares priced at US$17
Burger King's parent company priced its initial public offering at US$17 per share on Wednesday, a day before the No. 2 hamburger chain's stock is set to trade for the first time. Burger King Holdings Inc said the company plans to offer 25 million shares, and its expected stock price was at the high end of the US$15 to US$17 range it had estimated earlier this month. The company expects to receive approximately US$393 million from the offering, though it intends to use the proceeds for repayment of US$350 million of outstanding debt, Burger King said in a news release. The sale would represent about 19 percent of the company's overall shares, and a sale at US$17 a share would value the entire company at about US$2.25 billion. The biggest burger chain, McDonald's Corp, has a market value of about US$43.2 billion by comparison.

China worried about prices
China will adjust lending and other policies to cope with surging real estate prices, the government says, reacting to a potentially destabilizing scarcity of affordable housing and rising financial risks from property speculation. China's top leaders met on Wednesday and ordered stricter enforcement of curbs on lending and tax policies aimed at discouraging property speculation, state media reported yesterday. The report did not give details of how policies would be changed. Property prices in 70 major cities rose an average of 5.5 percent in the first quarter of this year, compared with the same period last year, according to government statistics.

Tiger celebrates for pennies
Low-cost Tiger Airways is offering one-way promotional fares to Bangkok and Phuket for S$0.88 (US$0.55), the carrier said yesterday. The promotion, running from today to Monday, is for travel from July 1 to Oct. 28 this year, said the Singapore Airlines-backed Tiger in a statement. The fare, excluding taxes, is valid for travel from Singapore to Bangkok or Phuket as well as from both Thai destinations to the city-state. Tiger flies to five cities in Thailand. The fare marks the selection of Tiger as the only low-cost carrier to win an award from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore earlier this month. It was selected among the top 10 airlines operating at Changi Airport. Tiger serves 16 cities in six countries -- Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia -- as well as Macau.
