Young Michael Jordan
Before his six championships, five MVPs, and fourteen All-Star games, the greatest basketball player who ever lived was a gangly kid out of North Carolina with a lethal jumper and a ton of style. Even in his early days, he gave us both the world's ultimate sneaker and a whole new swaggering way to wear what were (until he showed up) ordinary gym clothes. And as Glenn O'Brien explains, Jordan's influence on fashion may have been even greater off the court
Michael Jordan was cute. I swear. Before he got the HeadBlade dome and the landing strip on his upper lip for a Hanes commercial, before he got his ear pierced back when he was 18 and the new face on Dean Smith's UNC Tar Heels—he was a cute kid. Boyish. His childhood nickname was Rabbit; his ears stuck out. He hadn't made high school varsity until he was a junior. Back then, he was on the short side for hoops. But then the pituitary kicked in and the world changed.
I first really noticed Michael Jordan when the freshman's jumper put North Carolina up one point over Georgetown with seventeen seconds left in the 1982 NCAA championship game. As a crazed Hoya alum, I wasn't panicked—hey, we had All-American shooting guard Sleepy Floyd (who would go on to thirteen pro seasons) and a freshman named Patrick Ewing, who had already scored twenty-three points in the game. But then, like in a nightmare, Georgetown point guard Fred Brown inexplicably passed the ball to the Tar Heels' James Worthy, and Jordan's shot turned into the game winner. Michael Jordan and James Worthy... I would remember those names.
Worthy, who scored twenty-eight in the game, looked like a man, with sad eyes and a full beard. Jordan looked like a skinny punk with his tongue wagging out of his mouth. But he played like a demon, and he was an All-American the next two seasons before forgoing his senior year to enter the NBA draft, going number three to the Bulls. The rest is history. Mike averaged twenty-eight points in his first season, made the All-Star team, and was Rookie of the Year.
The two freshman stars of the '82 championship game both changed basketball style. Ewing wore a T-shirt under his uniform, because he was always complaining about being cold in big arenas, and it caught on throughout college basketball with help from fellow frosh Chris Mullin. When Ewing went to the Knicks, he wanted to continue wearing a tee, but NBA rules wouldn't allow it. Eventually the undershirt trend faded.
Jordan's impact came a bit later, but it endured. In 1984, Nike put him under contract and then introduced the Air Jordan, the most expensive basketball shoe ever made. The first model was black, white, and red, violating the NBA's rules and getting Jordan fined $5,000 for every game he wore them. Nike paid the bill all the way to the bank. Jordan was wearing his red-white-and-black Air Jordans when he scored sixty-three points against the Celtics in an '86 playoff game. In 1989, with his hair receding, he shaved his head clean. Jordan—who wore his North Carolina team shorts under his Chicago Bulls shorts and thus needed some extra room—also asked that Champion give him a wider, longer pair. Jordan's teammate Scottie Pippen liked them so much he asked for the same. And so baggies came to the NBA, and thence to the Runnin' Rebels of UNLV, the Fab Five of Michigan, and then the world. (Except John Stockton.)
Off the court, the young Michael Jordan always exhibited good taste—the right polo, the right jeans, the right sweatshirt, hey, even a rugby shirt. It was only later, as a multi-millionaire, that his moves may have been a bit off. He was always fashionable, but fashion itself goes wrong sometimes, and one of those times came at the height of his career: in the '90s, when Italian suits ruled the world. Remember Pat Riley cavorting on the sidelines, with his hair gel and his suits with the huge shoulders and the blousy pleated pants? Jordan wore similar suits (but no gel or hair), and in post-game interviews he sometimes resembled a cross between Dr. Evil and the character with the tiny head in Beetlejuice.
But Jordan's head was a thing of beauty. Bald men everywhere should worship him as a god for making the bald head manly and totemic. Sure, there was Yul Brynner as the petulant King of Siam, and Telly Savalas as Kojak—whom many menopausal women considered the sexiest man alive—but Jordan was like a hairless Hercules, a superman with a noble pate that made him look stronger than Samson, grinning like a death's-head at the opponents he would dunk over. Taking flight, His Airness made hair seem un-aerodynamic. Like bad design. Jordan's baldness made him as changeless as a sculpture. Monumental. Without Michael Jordan, there would be no Ving Rhames, no hair-free Samuel L. Jackson, no chrome-domed Shaquille O'Neal, no cue-ball Kobe, no glabrescent Vin Diesel. Without Michael Jordan, there is a toupee industry. Without Michael Jordan, there is no sneaker industry. And the streetwear movement that has journeyed from asphalt basketball courts to Paris runways would never have been the same without number 23.
When Nike's Air Jordans shattered the price ceiling on sneakers and hit three figures, sportswriters went ballistic, seeing the luxury-kicks market as a crime wave waiting to happen. Today the Jordan Shine model goes for $400 and nobody flinches. Nike's Air Yeezy Red October model is going for three to five grand on eBay.
But it all started with Mike. Remember the Nike ad with Spike Lee (as She's Gotta Have It protagonist Mars Blackmon) questioning Jordan?
MB: What makes you the best player in the universe? Is it the vicious dunks?
MJ: No, Mars.
MB: Is it the haircut?
MJ: No, Mars.
MB: Is it the shoes?
MJ: No, Mars.
MB: Is it the extra-long shorts?
MJ: No, Mars.
MB: It's the shoes, then, right?
MJ: Nah.
MB: Is it the short socks?
MJ: No, Mars.
MB: Money, it's gotta be the shoes!
MJ never fesses up to exactly what it is that makes him the best player in the universe. But there's no doubt in his self-assured, chiding replies that style is the essence of greatestness, just like it was when the O.G. Dr. J was the best player in the universe, with his windmill facials. Is it the goatee, Doctor? Is it the 'fro, Doctor?
Style is something that comes with the territory—with the ability to improvise in any situation and beat the shot clock of the universe. The juke, the hesitation, the pump fake, the fadeaway. Michael Jordan's sartorial style just came from within, like his moves on the court. The Zeitgeist flows from the heroes. And so it goes, two decades on. Big-ass shorts walking down the street with tights underneath; hoodies like the one that made Mike look like black Jesus; full-dress couture kicks; fashion designers making like they've got a team and you've got a number, too. It's all the legacy of a man who could fly. No, money—not Icarus. MJ. Air.

You have hit a pretty impressive milestone—you now have 300 Followers!
In January 2011 I received this e-mail from HubPages. "You have hit a pretty impressive milestone—you now have 300 Followers!"
As a writer, photographer, and artist of unique content who was working like a mad woman to build my on-line niche, having gotten this notification from HubPages was a big thrill.
For newer Hub writers, as you make milestones, gain followers, publish Hubs, have your Hubs read, you will get encouragement for your successes.
The notification was a reminder to me; writing as @Lillygrillzit, that I may be the next success story highlighted on HubPages. Having had some real set-backs, losses, and disappointments in life, I can hardly explain the feelings I experienced when I got this notification.
For the first time in my life I was facing possible and probable as a writer and artist.
LillyGrillzit (one of my pen names), has been highlighted, and reviewed by SweetSusieG. What is cool about that is I got to review an author who I admire.
If I had not been highlighted by HubPages, or interviewed, I can easily admit to success.
I am already experiencing success, as a writer, because of the Community, and Tools afforded, and shared with Hubbers on HubPages.
I have made a large impact on tourism in Arkansas, mostly in Little Rock, and North Little Rock.
I will leave this world having made a difference for good.
Thank you HubPages.
CloudExplorer explains some of his milestones on YouTube
Hubbers succeed best who help other Hubbers out
It's a wheel, it's a wheel, it's a wheel in the middle of this huge publishing factory. Each Hubber plays an important part in the transportation and success of the ride. I love the Idea of a Hub. A Hub is only part. It is an important part, but you can have excellent Hub Writers, who do not correspond with the Hub community, and although I love solitude.
Writing on-line is more than writing and getting people to read what you wrote.
To be a successful Follower, and gain followers, you must be willing to read, help and promote other publishers.
Hub Pages philosophy has basic roots within the Law of Success, so that means it will work. Writers know how tough it can be. Sometimes you are flowing, and at other times, we run into a brick wall.
On Hub Pages there is an unspoken reward for doing something, like Hub Hopping. This is where you quickly read newly published Hubs, and vote them up, down, or Hop! This helps the Hubbers who are publishing, hoping for feedback, it also helps the Hopper, because:
- You meet new Hubbers
- When you help others, it always comes back to make you feel better
- Other Hubbers meet you
- It helps the entire community. This is how we keep Hub Pages a moving happy wheel
Simone Smith teaches & instructs on HubPages
We are all in this together...
All of us Hubbers who have gained over 300 followers are warriors!
We have passed another milestone on HubPages.
if it weren't for the whole HubPages community, there would be no victory.
- Celebrate one, celebrate all.
Good Luck and thanks for the Follow!

I was thrilled when she passed the 20,000 views a couple of days ago
Lilly was thrilled when she passed another Hub Milestone (milestone) just a few days ago. She passed being viewed, over 20,000 times. Lilly started writing on HubPages in the beginning of July 2010, and it took until November 4, of 2010 to get 10,000 views, On January 28, 2011, Lilly passed 20,000!
Lilly has worked very hard to have the volume of Hubs here. It would take a lot of dedication and insanity to plug away as hard and furious as she has. She averages 95 hours per week on-line, writing, networking and building other on-line marketers.

Solar electricity is definitely the choice for the future by energy analysts throughout the world, especially, if we keep any eye over other power generation sources like coal, gas etc and their ever rising prices. Countries have struggled in recent past due to fuel resource for managing their energy needs. It is expected to go on if, in future, alternative energy/ renewable energy sources are not exploited to their maximum available potentials. Available with us is a high quality range of Solar Panels that is widely used foe generating electricity in an efficient and prompt manner, by using solar energy. These are especially designed to combat the increasing concern of global warming through reduction in greenhouse gas emission.
Solar home lighting system is used for interior illumination during the night or in case of power failure. We manufacture standard quality of solar home lighting systems and supply to our customers. We install the most powerful battery that has a high storage capacity and low energy loss. It performs for a longer period of time and requires low maintenance cost. It is easy to install and our engineers can do it in the best possible way.
With our tailor make service, anterBox provides you with the option of choosing and selecting the different modules of the automation system as per your needs. It is the integration of the separate modules and customization or trimming of the complete automation system to satiate your needs and also easily fit into your pocket instead of creating a burden on you.
Solar Street Lighting System (SSL) is an ideal lighting system for illumination of street lights, squares, cross roads, etc of villages/farm houses/ parking lots/ residential societies etc. Street lights of type can be designed of LED, CFL, LPSV lamps. In many instances lighting at night can be a costly and complicated matter. Issues such as; no available grid power or expensive trenching and cabling requirements can prevent adequate lighting being installed; Damage to the area requiring lighting is also a problem as with conventional lighting systems; footpaths and gardens need to be ripped up to run power cables. Solar street lights are fully self-contained, so when you choose to install one there are no trenches, no external cabling and no need to connect to the main power grid. With absolutely no power bills and very low maintenance these solar streetlights and solar lighting modules will pay for themselves.

Jane Hume
Jane works on the Jane and Erin Team with Erin Rost.
As a fourth generation Austinite and daughter of a prominent Texas Architect, Jane's interest and record success in real estate has come very naturally. During summer breaks from college, she worked at her father's architectural firm typing specifications and going on property inspections; not only learning certain aspects of construction and design, but gaining appreciation and insight into the housing industry.
Jane and her family later moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico where she began her 15 year career in real estate. Her real estate business increased year after year as she assisted buyers, sellers and investors, soon becoming one of the top performing realtors in a very competitive and exclusive market.
Jane attributes much of her success to her passion for people and the enjoyment of the industry itself. "Selling real estate is not about houses, it's about people. Listening to a client and hearing what will satisfy their needs is the hallmark of success."
As a buyer's agent, Jane is heralded for her perception, knowledge of the market, professional ethics and strong negotiation skills.
Sellers appreciate her vast marketing experience and willingness to go the extra mile to present their home in its best light while aggressively marketing to other realtors and buyers.
Delighted to call Austin home again, Jane feels that she has come full circle with her personal and professional life. "It's truly a blessing to bring my years of experience in this industry back to serve the people of such a great city!"
Some Highlights of Jane's Real Estate Success Include:
• Top 10 percentile of Santa Fe in 2005
• Top 1 percentile of Santa Fe in 2009
• Certified Relocation Specialist with "Leading Real Estate Companies of the World"
• Certified Cendant Mobility and USAA Movers Advantage Relocation Specialist
• Member of the Luxury Market Group in Santa Fe

I worked with Erin Rost. She provides exceptional customer service and adds a quality personal touch. Not only did she listen, but Erin constantly advocated to get us the best price on our home. I never hugged a Realtor before until her. I highly recommend Erin and Realty Austin.

The Jane Hume and Erin Rost team were awesome! Both were so patient with us during our search, and Erin did a lot of handholding throughout the process and led us on to a very successful closing. Their guidance was invaluable, and we would recommend them to anyone. Thanks!

It was great working with Erin and Jane. Throughout the process, both of them were accessible to me, and were always willing to answer my questions, and find out more than I needed. Erin with her calmness made this process that much more peaceful. She had great references like mortgage lenders who were great in providing more advise to me. She was always on top of the builder to get ETAs and explanations for some delays. All in all Erin and Jane are awesome to work with, and their experience really helps first time home buyers like me. I would absolutely refer some of my friends to Realty Austin and specifically Erin and Jane.

Jane and Erin are an awesome team! When I first started poking around the Austin market, it was a half-hearted attempt. However, with a combination of their consistent follow-up, non-pushiness, and Realty Austin's great listing format, I felt very comfortable making the trip from Boston and taking the plunge. From the get-go, both Jane and Erin have been wonderful to work with. They are very patient and thorough, and we have greatly appreciated the time and knowledge they have shared with us. Jane and Erin are truly a great team!

I've bought and sold my house with Erin. It was a great experience, and Erin was always available to help negotiate a better agreement. I would definitely recommend Erin and Realty Austin.
Cameron Fraser

I had a wonderful experience with Jane and Erin, they have been patient and helped me search for the perfect property for over two years! And Erin has gone above and beyond when I actually came into town to do a closer search. She showed us properties from one side of Austin's outer edge to the other; when we found the perfect property her job had just begun! A challenging accomplishment I must say. Without those ladies, this would not have happened for us!! It's been a long time coming, and we are truly grateful for all of their help!!

Jane and Erin were extremely helpful to us. Their knowledge of our needs and the Austin area market helped us find a very nice house that was available when we needed it to be. In addition, they are both very personable and friendly. We enjoyed working with Jane and Erin and would not hesitate to use them again.

Erin was the absolute best! Coming from Alabama with very limited time, she managed to show us multiple properties. Erin was very patient and thorough with my son and I. It was very apparent that this was not her first rodeo. I so enjoyed meeting Erin and would definitely use her again!

Jane and Erin are the best! They have taken really good care of me, and Jane is still doing it! Jane and Erin are fun, extremely knowledgeable, and full of energy. I highly recommend them!

The Jane and Erin team were professional, diligent and attentive in helping us find and close on a house as we prepare to move to Austin. With good preplanning including daily emails before our househunting trip, we were able to find a great home that checked off all our boxes in a single weekend. We never felt pressured. Rather we felt well-provided with information and options.

Jane and Erin are the best! I am so appreciative of all the hard work they did to help in selling my Aunt Dorothy Turner's house and property so quickly. I also had the pleasure of meeting Jane while in Austin recently and she was a very sweet and pleasant lady. Thanks, for all the help Jane and Erin did by email for me since I live in NC. I made new friends!

Erin did a wonderful job showing us around Austin, helping us find a rental, and then most recently helping us find the home we purchased. We made a cross-country move with a baby and a toddler which made it incredibly stressful. Erin helped us find the most desirable areas for our family and lifestyle. She gave us suggestions for activities and places to go with the kids. She also even gave us recommendations for contractors because we plan to do some remodeling to our new home. I will definitely recommend Erin to anyone I know looking for a Realtor!

Jane and Erin are both amazing and so easy to work with. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them and their attention to detail throughout my transaction. I'm thrilled I had the opportunity to work with them and would recommend anyone else to do the same.

Most of the dust has settled from our move to Austin, and we continue to say 'what a great house!' thanks to Jane and Erin. From our first phone call with them, we knew we'd found the right match to help us find our new home in Austin. Moving here from NC, we had lots of concerns. We worried about schools, commute times, local activities, where to shop and where to find the best tacos. We spent almost a full week with Erin driving us all over Austin, familiarizing us with what each area had to offer and answering our questions. When our house hunting trip came to a close, we found a house that felt like it would meet our needs and we made an offer. Most agents would have stopped there. But Erin kept looking, calling to tell us about an even better house that was just about to come on the market. And she was right. The first house didn't pass inspection, and we were first in line with an offer for the second house. With lots of strategizing the offer was accepted before the house went on the market. Today, we happily call it home. Jane and Erin are the best!

Honestly, I've never had a better customer service experience in real estate than I have with Jane Hume and Erin Rost. I've been working with them for many years. I met them initially while working at a company handling marketing for the firm and building relationships with realtors. When divorce struck my life in 2015, Jane was the first person I called to get the ball rolling on listing my home in Belterra. Jane and Erin became more than realtors; they have become dear friends. I've been through a rough couple of years and decided to take the next step and lease a condo, which Jane answered the call and found the perfect place for me; in the right neighborhood, price range and with the amenities and space needed as I continue rebuilding my life. I'm grateful to them for this new chapter. I do hope as the next pages are written that I'll be using them again to find a permanent place to put down roots. I'm never afraid to recommend them to anyone. They are the best real estate folks I've ever met. Genuine, honest, caring. They always put their clients first.

The Jane and Erin Team are the best! They both worked so hard and were so wonderful from the beginning of "We might get a house," all the way until the signing. They took a lot of time to understand our needs and didn't waste our time on houses we were not interested in. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you both!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to reflect on Jane's and Erin's assistance to us as a family, but more specifically to my husband Dave and me in finding our Austin home. Jane's and Erin's welcoming, friendly and professional disposition gave us the confidence as they learned our priorities, that our needs and requirements were going to satisfied in finding the appropriate home for us in Austin,Texas.
I am happy to speak for the members of my family that met Jane and Erin, we all have great regard and appreciation for the professional and personalized service they offered to us.
Rest assured that both as a team and individually, Jane and Erin met our expectations and have gone beyond the extra mile to finding our future home and feel welcome in Austin, even before we move in. Realty Austin and particularly the team formed by Jane and Erin would be highly recommended by the Massey family to all in need of their services.

Jane and Erin were absolutely hands down the BEST agents I have ever worked with! I started working with them from out of state just shy of a year ago. They knew exactly what I was looking for and kept my fully updated even before the property went on the market. When we finally made the move to Austin we hit the trails in full force and within 3 weeks we found our dream property! They made me feel like the most important person in the world. They are terrific agents! I did not feel like I was being taken for a ride. They were very thorough and crossed every T and dotted every I. They were very well prepared on every property and had extensive knowledge on every nook and cranny! So, yes, you can say my husband and I were very impressed by these 2 young ladies! The best attribute of Jane and Erin is that they are kind and have big hearts. I truly feel they want you to be 110% in love with your purchase. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts we are over the moon in love with our new home!

We worked with the Jane and Erin Team of realty Austin and couldn't have been happier with the results. The current Austin realty market is very difficult to navigate, especially for first time home buyers like ourselves. We had two offers accepted on homes that after inspection, turned out to be terrible. Jane and Erin both went out of their way to make sure that we did not get ourselves into a house that would end up being a money pit. We were one of many bids on the final house we looked at and Jane and Erin structured our offer in a manner that allowed us to get the house without even being the highest bidder. We highly recommend working with Realty Austin and especially the Jane and Erin Team!

This was our second property with Jane and Erin and we once again had a great experience working with them.
We are amazed with their professionalism, wealth of knowledge and meticulous nature. They are always a phone call away and as I have said in the past - they are way more than "agents" to us, they are friends.
Rest assured that I will be recommending them to colleagues and friends.
We look forward to working with them for many years to come!

Erin and Jane were excellent ambassadors to the Austin area and assisted us greatly in our search for a new home. Realty Austin is fortunate to have two such empathetic, knowledgeable and eager-to-help folks working for them.

Erin and Jane were recommended to us by a friend who spoke highly of them so we felt very confident about our decision to use their services. We were not disappointed in our choice. They were responsive to our needs and listened closely to our criteria for selecting a home. Although the process of learning about an unfamiliar real estate market is challenging and tiring, we felt secure in the fact that they knew the pros and cons of various neighborhoods and had good insight into the overall Austin market. They both worked very hard to make this experience a home run for us. We are pleased with our purchase and really appreciate their help and guidance.
July 2015
We wanted to take this opportunity to thank Jane and Erin team from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of this journey with us, its just the beginning with many more to come!
We appreciate everything that they have done for us - the numerous day trips to the home site, their patience in answering our (sometime stupid) questions, and the love and care with which they have treated us. The Jane and Erin team made us feel comfortable and confident about our first home.
We never thought like we were "dealing with an agent", it was more like "talking to a friend" - and we hope that we can always come back to our friends when we need them.
As first time homebuyers, we could not have asked for more! In days, months and years to come - they will be our first choice, no doubts about that.

Selling my house was a great process. Erin and Jane were super helpful and made the whole experience stress free and that was priceless. We ended up getting way more for the house than originally planned and I couldn't have asked for better agents.

Jane, Erin, myself, and my wife, Mary Lou have developed a wonderful agent-client relationship that we look forward to building into a longer term friendship. Working with them couldn't have been a better experience for us. We have shared a few emails with Jane and Erin about how much we loved working with them and that we couldn't have asked for a better couple of realtors to work with. They certainly represented Realty Austin incredibly well, with the utmost professionalism and friendliest of service. They are extremely knowledgeable in real estate and we knew we were in good hands the whole way. We got lucky to find them.
May 2015
My husband and I have bought and sold many homes over the years, and I can confidently say that this was by far one of the best experiences we have ever had. Both Jane and Erin were wonderful through the process, and really helped us through the relocation, as we are new to Austin.
They were patient and thoughtful and provided a tremendous amount of insight into the area, benefits and challenges with different areas, and highlights to consider. They really made the process fun and greatly reduced our stress.
We love our home and the area and without Jane and Erin, who knows what would have happened!
November 2014
Jane and Erin were absolutely wonderful during my entire home search. I have a very busy schedule, and they were always available to go house hunting when I had a second to get out. I jumped around on my location and house preferences multiple times and they stood by my side with every move. They were there to help me with all the questions and concerns I had throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family!

My experience in working with Jane Hume and Erin Rost has been stellar and culminated in my purchase of a home in Hyde Park at a very affordable price - a small miracle. Jane and Erin also ably represented my daughter and son-in-law when they bought a home in East Austin last year.
When I was deciding whether to relocate from the San Francisco Bay Area, Jane and Erin worked with me for months, familiarizing me with Austin neighborhoods. When I was in a position to buy, they took on the challenge of finding me an affordable home in central Austin. They found several suitable candidates that would fit my rather tight budget, including the small and very charming cottage that I ultimately bought.
They also helped me figure out what repairs would be needed and find an excellent contractor. They dealt very competently and professionally with frustrating problems that arose (on the seller's side) during the closing.
Erin and Jane are also two of the nicest and smartest women I've met - and tough negotiators as well. Having a two-person team on my side was great. I recommend them highly.

Jane and Erin are amazing! They helped me find a great apartment is precisely the location that I wanted to be in. When it came time to close, they handled all of the paperwork, negotiation, and related matters adeptly, saving me a good amount of money on the margins. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in Austin.

From the moment we met Jane Hume, it was clear that she was in our corner and wasn't going to stop until she had us all moved in to a first home that fit all our wish list fantasies -- as challenging as our criteria were -- and celebrating with us at our housewarming party. With persistence, gentle pressure, and tons of personality, Jane made the process of buying a home in this competitive Austin market not only fun but virtually painless, propping us up when we started to despair about finding that "unicorn" of a 3/2 under $400K with at least 1/4 acre in the '04. And WE DID IT!
There were hiccups along the way, from our offer to our closing, but Jane shielded us from the stress and made it feel smooth as a cowboy two-steppin' with a sorority girl at the Broken Spoke on a Thursday night -- not a single one of the nightmare house hunting stories we were expecting from all our years of hearing about our friends' home buying adventures. Every single one of her recommendations and referrals, from the wonderful team of inspectors at Property Doctors to our home warranty company, turned out to add to our confidence and save us money in the process.
As business executives, my husband and I also really appreciate people who value long-term relationships, and we love that Jane has continued to check in on us, sharing news about our neighborhood with us and sending us info about how to join the homeowners association, among other helpful hints. We didn't stop being her clients at the closing, rather even a week later when our move was in full swing Jane stopped by with a super sweet housewarming gift that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she had really listened to us along the way and knew our tastes and values and personalities like an old family friend. Thanks to Jane, we don't have even one iota of buyers remorse and are already living the dream we dreamed of Austin living when we moved here from Boston in 2013.

Jane did a great job. She had use back the entire time. She was very thorough and on top of things. I never met Erin, but could tell she was a strong part of the team.
March 2014
We closed on our house in Cedar Park last week, and let me tell you... we feel SO lucky to have found Erin and Jane! They have been absolute joys to work with through the whole process.
We are new to the area and didn't know much about Austin. Erin and Jane gave us phenomenal tours of the neighborhoods and were able to pinpoint the best areas for us with school-age children. They really took the time to understood our needs and find us the right home. They truly care about their customers and go the extra mile to help them make the best decision.
When it came time to execute on the sale and closing process, they were extremely responsive to any and all of our questions... and we had a lot! They were proactive in ensuring we were up to speed with what was going on in the process and advocated for us at every turn.
We thank them for a wonderful experience and look forward to our continued friendship with them. They are both very special people. We are glad to have found them at Realty Austin.

My wife and I think the world of Erin Rost and Jane Hume. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a home in Austin. As our agents, they educated us, guided us, recommended us, kept us constantly informed, and accommodated us with all our needs. Not knowledgeable at all about the Austin area, we asked a lot of questions and tried a lot of things that they truly guided us through. Their exemplary service resulted in our purchase of a home that fit our budget and needs. Their recommendations, follow through, and personal attention to our needs were over the top and exceeded all of our expectations.
We realize that much of what they had done for us was due to the concerted efforts that Realty Austin was supporting them with. With that said we would like to thank all of Realty Austin for supporting Erin and Jane in finding the property that we were looking for.
Roger & Denise Kirchheim
January 2014
We started working with Jane and Erin in April of 2012. They have been so patient with our needs, which were, to say, rapidly evolving. We appreciated their time and energy to cart us all over Austin in the hunt for the ideal property. Kudos to their support and leg work as we would quite often give her a list of MLS listings we were interested in viewing en route to properties!
Ultimately we found the perfect property, entering them into a harrowing several month experience with a nasty listing agent (and similar seller) from another brokerage. Thank goodness for their perseverance and upbeat attitude to ensure we always were handled with dignity. They were always on top of their game between balance our calls/ texts/ emails in coordination with responses of the opposing broker.
We loved working with Jane and Erin and consider them to be a friends whom we will always treasure. You are very lucky to have such a great team representing Realty Austin! Should we ever be in the market again, we would only work with Jane and Erin.
Jerilynn & Jocelyn Millvan

We were so lucky to discover Jane and Erin! Back when moving to Austin was just an idea, they introduced us to town and drove us through different neighborhoods for hours—knowing we might move to Dallas. After we selected Austin, they listened to what we wanted (and didn't want), knew all the properties and laws, and explained how the market worked. Team Jane and Erin made it their priority to find what we wanted. Having a team was great because one of them was always available to help. Without their guidance, we would have lost out on homes, because, in this market, homes get multiple offers in one day. Yet, we never felt rushed. We highly recommend Jane and Erin and will do business with them in the future. But we'd rather not move away from our new-found friends.
Steve & Kim Morris
October 2013
Jane and Erin did a great job. They worked hard the entire process and we had a smooth closing. I would certainly use them again in any real estate transactions.
Sheila Burke
August 2013
Brian and I think Jane and Erin make a great team. They were totally responsive to our many questions and both fun to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend them to buyers and sellers, and are glad the Realtors in Santa Fe gave us their names. All good wishes!

Basically, we're providing all files containing in a .zip file. For your convenience.
Click to Download .zip file containing all requires files From HERE

Hope you got it.
Note: Training process is might be boring but Don't skip the training, training will help you to understand the speech recognition, simple commands and at the same time it helps the system to understand your voice better than anyone's else.
Awesome isn't it.
Microsoft has already gifted you a "Speech Recognition" facility that listens to most of the basic commands.
Windows Speech Recognition is one of the "underrated features" of Windows. But, you need to set it up first before we bring in the more awesome features.
Windows Speech Recognition is one of the "underrated features" of Windows. But, you need to set it up first before we bring in the more awesome features.
Simply search for "Speech Recognition" in your Start Menu and you will be navigated to the Windows Speech Recognition Tutorial directly. The steps are quite simple. I have got a complete tutorial for it. But it's little complicated, so I've kept it separate.
Make sure you take the Windows Speech Recognition Training. It is a boring but important step.
Windows Speech Recognition Tutorial will guide you through the commands and in the meantime, also train your computer to understand your voice better. So, after you take the tutorial, you will notice that your system understands your commands better than anyone else's. Awesome, isn't it!
2) Installing Windows Speech Recognition Macros.
You now know all the basic commands and now can control your computer with your voice. Use it and get more and more familiar with it.
Tip:Whenever you are stuck, you can say "What can I say?" and your system will show up the list of the commands and their effects.
Next, we have to install the Windows Speech Recognition Macros.
The installation file is found in the ZIP file you downloaded. Install Windows Speech Recognition Macros using that setup file.
You just have to click on the "Install" button and your software will be ready!
Now, open Windows Speech Recognition Macros and you will soon find the icon in the Notification Area of the taskbar.
Right-click on that icon and you will receive some options. Click on "New Speech Macro".
Now here you have a variety of options. Basically, Windows Speech Recognition is meant to create your own commands with specific actions. Can't we satisfied with the basic functions only right?
Here is a brief explanation of the options:
Insert Text: Suppose if you use Microsoft Word through Speech Recognition and don't want to type your address again, you can set a specific phrase for your address and whenever you say that phrase, your address would be typed automatically.
Run a Program: There are default commands such as "Start WordPad" and "Start Notepad" for WordPad and Notepad respectively. There are commands for some other programs too! But what about the rest? This option can allow you to execute any program, maybe your favorite game by just speaking!
Send Keystrokes: Take a situation where you want to select all the text and copy it to the clipboard. Can you do it by just speaking? Oh yes, why not? This option allows you to add phrases for different keystrokes such as Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C!
Emulate Recognition: This is for the commands already supported by Windows Vista Speech Recognition.
Advanced: We are going to use this option for creating "Macros" for all our commands. However, this requires brief knowledge of XML. But don't worry. You can create as many commands as you want from the below blueprint:
Note that the codes are listed in the order in which they are supposed to be used.
<speechMacros> – This is just a starting tag. This indicates that the code is actually for Windows Speech Recognition Macros.
<command> – This, in short words, is the command to be executed. Sometimes your demands are fulfilled with just a single command. However, in some cases, you would need more than one command too!
<listenFor></listenFor> – Whatever you are going to speak is supposed to be written between these two tags. Don't forget the close tag or else your code will not work. Note that "F" in "For" is capital and not small.
<speak></speak>These tags should include the text your system is supposed to speak after listening to your command.
</command> – This is the closing tag of <command> tag. You would have observed by now that XML is like HTML. It has both opening and closing tags for every element, with a few exceptions.
</speechMacros> – As you would expect, this is the closing tag of <speechMacros>!
Sounds confusing? Well, I am going to give you some codes for direct usage! Yeah, I have literally included lots of examples here. You probably won't even need to create your own commands!
But before that, I want to tell you that it is extremely important to digitally sign your macros! So before creating every single macro, you have to create a signing certificate! Every macro will need one certificate.
For creating a signing certificate, right-click the Windows Speech Recognition icon in the notification pane, then go to Security, then press "Create Signing Certificate".
Suppose if you want your computer to greet you when youcommand it to wake up, you can use the below Macros:
<listenFor>Wake Up Jarvis</listenFor>
<speak>Systems Online, Database Check, Good Morning Sir !</speak>
I love this one the most! It feels honored to be greeted by my system, you know…😛
Here is a Macro forgetting the weather. You can see that it's a bit complicated to understand. But no worries! You just have to copy this macro and replace the highlighted with the desired details.
Note: Many people have not been able to use this code properly. Do not panic if this doesn't work for you. Move on to other commands.
<?xml version="1.0″ encoding="UTF-16"?>
<listenFor>Pull up the weather in [CityName]</listenFor>
<run command="http://www.weather.com/weather/local/{[CityName.zipCode]}"/>
<listenFor>Is it cold in [CityName]?</listenFor>
<speak>Let me check… just a moment.</speak>
<script language="JScript">
<var xml_doc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
<xml_doc.async = false;
<var titles = xml_doc.getElementsByTagName("title");
<var descriptions = xml_doc.getElementsByTagName("description");
<Application.Speak(titles.item(2).text + " in {[*CityName]}");
<listenForList name="CityName" propname="zipCode">
<item propval="65201">Columbia</item>
<item propval="37201">Nashville</item>
Replace CityName with the name of your city. Zip-code can be obtained on the Weather Codes website.
Lengthy, isn't it?
This is a Macro forrestarting your computer. Simply say "Restart JARVIS" and your system will restart!
<listenFor>Restart JARVIS</listenFor>
<speak>Rebooting The System. See you shortly, Sir!</speak>
<run command="C:WindowsSystem32shutdown.exe" params="-r -t 00″/>
Here is a Macro forshutting down your system. Say "Goodbye JARVIS" and your system will shut down!
<listenFor>Goodbye JARVIS!</listenFor>
<speak>Getting offline, good bye Sir</speak>
<run command="C:WindowsSystem32shutdown.exe" params="-s -t 00″/>
If you want your system totell you the time, use this macro:
<?xml version="1.0″ encoding="UTF-16″?>
<listenFor>What's the time, Jarvis?</listenFor>
<script language="vbscript">
dim currentTime
currentTime = FormatDateTime(Time(), 1)
Application.Speak Time
Application.SetTextFeedback Time
Likewise, if you want your system totell you the date, use the below macro:
?xml version="1.0″ encoding="UTF-16″?>
<listenFor>What's the date, Jarvis?</listenFor>
<script language="vbscript">
dim todaysDate
todaysDate = Date
Application.Speak Date
Application.SetTextFeedback Date
Suppose you have just opened a file or a folder and youwant to delete it, simply use the below macro:
<?xml version="1.0″ encoding="UTF-16″?>
<listenFor>Delete it!</listenFor>
<speak> File has been Deleted, Sir </speak>
The last one! Want toempty your recycle bin? The below macro is to the rescue:
<?xml version="1.0″ encoding="UTF-16″?>
<listenFor>Empty the Recycle Bin</listenFor>
<run command="C:nirnircmd.exe" params="emptybin" />
<speak> Done, Sir </speak>
Important tip: If you facing issues to save all commands, then you have to do is to remove inverted commas " and write again, it will definitely work.
Did I horrify you with too many codes? Note that
NONE OF THE CODES GIVEN HERE ARE MANDATORYand you can always skip or modify any piece of code! After all, your system, your rules!
3)Installing Rainmeter then Jarvis Theme.
Relax. The complex part is already over! You just have to install the duo – Rainmeter and Iron Man Theme, both of which are provided in the files. Rainmeter is the supporter of your Iron Man Theme.
Now, change your desktop background (Wallpaper) to any of the two Wallpapers provided in the files.
You now have to load the theme skins in Rainmeter. You have four colors to choose from – Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow. While I like blue, it's completely up to you from which to choose!
Simply load the skins of the color you have chosen. Click on the skin and press "Load" button. This is shown in the image given below:
You will notice that all the elements will be found at just one place. Rearrange them the way you like and Voila! Your system really looks like JARVIS now.
But hold on! Your desktop icons are still visible and that ruin the look. There's a solution for that too!
Simple, right click on your desktop, hover to view, then uncheck "Show desktop icons"option.
Now you can see the preview of my desktop.
Really looking Awesome, Now I am feeling like my lappy is my personal assistant and it reads my all commands like Jarvis.
I know this Article is little lengthy but I am assuring you, the step is very easy, you can do it very easily by following steps.
This post really Awesome, If you face any problem related to this post just write in comments I'll help you.

New Orleans Offshore Construction Accident Attorney
With approximately 118 oil rigs occupying the Gulf of Mexico, it's clear that offshore construction plays an important role in the maritime industry. Whether working on a wind farm, oil or energy platform, maritime employees are essential to the construction process.
Injuries from Offshore Construction
Offshore platforms are not only large in size, but also weigh up to 14,000 tons. Therefore, handling the logistics of large structure installation is an intricate and dangerous process. If a maritime employee falls from the platform, is hit by a falling object or is injured due to malfunctioning equipment, they can be seriously hurt and even be at risk of a fatal accident.
Additionally, it is extremely important for an offshore company to maintain their structures. If they don't, they're risking the lives of their employees. On the other hand, the employees who perform maintenance on these structures are also at risk because any mistake they make may cause serious damage and can even be fatal. This is why it is important for companies to provide the correct training and supervision for these tasks.
Safety and taking the right precautions should be every offshore company's main priority. Unfortunately, for some, it is not. Don't let your employer get away with operational negligence. If you were injured in an offshore construction accident, it's important to consult a maritime lawyer.
The maritime lawyer at Cueria Law Firm can help you seek the compensation you deserve. Using their decades of maritime law expertise, the Cueria admiralty attorneys will be able to determine what exactly went wrong and hold your company accountable. Use the Jones Act to your advantage and take your negligent employer to court. Our New Orleans maritime attorneys will make sure you and your family are sufficiently taken care of.

Annual Party
The Club's annual party was held in the West Wing on Thursday January 1st.
A very big attendance enjoyed the social event of the year!
Club Chairman Enda Burke thanked everyone for attending and paid tribute to all the coaches and officials of the club. He made special mention of the parents who help out supervising, organizing, collecting money and driving children to and from training. He congratulated all the swimmers on their achievements during the year.
Male Swimmer of the Year: Ciarán Burke
Female Swimmer of the Year: Stephanie McLoughlin
Most Improved Swimmer: Derva O Reilly
Special Dedication Award: Emma Begley
The Club's annual Confined Gala was held on Saturday Nov. 29th.
Pictured below are some of the young swimmers, many of whom were competing in a gala for the first time.
Senior Schools Interprovincial
Congratulations to our swimmers Jonathan Brinn, Ciáran Burke, David Gilhooley and Stephanie McLoughlin who were members of the Connacht Schools team which won the Senior Schools Interprovincial title on Monday May 5th in the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin.
Easter Training Camp
The annual Easter training camp was held in UL during the Easter holidays and the Club had a large number of swimmers and coaches in attendance.
Some of the younger members spotted Bressie in their hotel and he kindly posed with them for a picture.
Connacht Club of the Year
Tuam Swimming Club was honoured at the annual gala awards night hosted by Swim Ireland in the Strand Hotel Limerick in April. The Tuam club was selected as the Connacht Region Club of the Year in recognition of its outstanding contribution to the sport over many years.
Club Chairman, Enda Burke, accepted the award on behalf of the club at the function from Mr. Kieran Mulvey, Chairman of the Irish Sports Council. In the citation it was noted that Tuam Swimming Club is over sixty years old and has come a long way from its humble beginnings in the frigid swirling waters of the Clare river in the 1950s. It was also noted that the Club is now competing very successfully at national level and Swim Ireland recognised its medal tally in recent years at national events.
The fact that Tuam Swimming Club is one of the few Clubs in the country operating on a totally voluntary basis was also a significant factor in swaying the judging panel and it also noted the very active role of parents in supporting the activities of the club. The Club has a huge number of very enthusiastic younger members at the moment and is looking forward to further successes locally and nationally.
Chairman Enda Burke said he was delighted and honoured to accept the award on behalf of the club and he felt that it was a fitting reward for the huge efforts of everyone involved in the club.
John Kenny of RTE was MC at the awards ceremonies, which was also attended by Sarah Keane the CEO of Swim Ireland and Olympic swimmers Barry Murphy and Andrew Bree.
January 2014
Tuam Swimming Club continues to go from strength to strength as its senior competitive swimmers consistently turn in improved times at local and national galas. The Club is also catering for very large numbers of younger children, most of who competed in the Club's annual confined gala in December, which was a resounding success.
The Swimmer of the Year awards were presented at the Club's Christmas party where chairman Enda Burke paid fulsome tributes to the swimmers, coaches, officials and parents for their tremendous commitment and dedication during the past year. He said the Club continues to thrive in large part due to the voluntary efforts of coaches and officials who give of their time willingly to promote swimming in the Tuam area.
The Male Swimmer of the Year award for 2013 went to Ciarán Burke for his outstanding performances and commitment to training over the year. Ciaran returned from the Irish Division 1 Age Groups with a bag full of medals in a variety of events. His time of 57 seconds in the 100m freestyle was particularly noteworthy given that he is still only 13 and he knocked another second off this time at the Connacht Schools Gala recently. Ciaran showed his versatility when he took the silver medal in the gruelling 1500m freestyle event. Another highlight of the season was his qualification for the final on 200m backstroke at the British Age Groups. Ciaran was an impressive winner of the Henihan Cup for 100m backstroke at the Club's gala recently. He has also been selected as part of the Connacht squad and the National squad.
The Female Swimmer of the Year was Michelle Gavin who was also commended for her dedication and commitment to training. Among the highlights of her season was her huge improvement in the 800m freestyle at the Division 1 finals where she achieved ten-second improvement on her previous personal best at this distance. Michelle was in great form at the Club's gala making a clean sweep of the ladies trophies winning the Reilly, Flynn and Leufer cups in backstroke and freestyle.
The award for the Most Improved Swimmer went to 11 year old Uiseann Cooke who won gold at the Division Two 200m Breaststroke final and also took the silver medal in the 100m breaststroke in the same competition. He also qualified for Division 1 in the 100m breaststroke. Uiseann is a very talented young swimmer and much is expected of him in the coming years.
A special dedication award was presented to David Gilhooley in recognition of his commitment and improvement in times over the year. David, who is a native of Athenry, has shown outstanding improvement over a relatively short time in the club. His 100m freestyle time of 1:05 in the Division 2 heats meant that he couldn't compete in the finals as his time was too fast – actually qualifying him for Division 1. He further improved on this time at the Connacht Schools gala recently knocking a further three seconds of his previous best.
Other Tuam swimmers who are making a big impression in galas are Sean Bennan, Olywyn Cooke, Saoirse Burke, Oisín O'Rourke and Uiseann Cooke all of whom are on the Junior Connacht Development Squad
Michelle Gavin and Emma Begley have been selected on the Connacht Development Squad.
Senior swimmer Jonathan Brinn has been performing very well and he was in great form at the Club's own gala when he powered his way to victory in the coveted O Dea Cup 50m freestyle and the McEnnis Cup for 100m breaststroke. Jonathan is also training regularly with the Connacht squad.
At the Connacht Short Course finals Stephanie Grant, Aisling McNally, Emma Begley, David Gilhooley, Emma Kelly, Saoirse Burke, Sean Brennan, Fionn Waters and Sarah Feeney all achieved Division 2 qualification times.

Cosplay: Original Character
This summer, I took an Armor Making for the Stage class at my college. We had a fantastic time, and made ourselves some stage armor for the final. I learned some great techniques that will definitely come in handy for making cosplay! The armor I made was designed to match the witch king's blade from LOTR, which my father gave me. I figured if I was going to be making armor, I might as well have a weapon to go with it. I used wonderflex, lots of fabric and paint, fosshape, silver leaf, faux leather, and lots of other stuff. The chain mail is stage mail, which is made by knitting on a set of large needles. The chain mail on the gloves is actual linked mail. The sweater was then painted and silver leafed. (An unfortunate side effect of a thick, chunky, knitted garment is that it makes me look enormous.) The wings are fun foam and cardstock, with a wire frame in them. I made a helmet as well, but I ran out of time and made it the day it was due, and it's pretty much shit. I'd like to expand the costume sometime, and I will remake the helmet when I do that.

Richmond Electric Vehicle Workshop
Virginia Housing Center at the Innsbrook Corporate Center, Glen Allen VA
On Monday, March 12, 2012 Katarina Bezakova attended a Richmond Electric Vehicle (EV) Workshop in Glen Allen, VA. Virginia Clean Cities hosted a state-wide electric vehicle workshop. Fleets, governments, utilities, civic groups, and businesses who are technical partners on the Richmond Electric Vehicle Initiative were invited to learn about EV Planning and how to assist in developing the greater Richmond region as an electric vehicle port and model to cities across the United States.
Alleyn Harned, Executive Director of Virginia Clean Cities, moderated the event. Stephanie Cox, Stakeholder Services Area Manager – Tennessee, ECOtality, works on the EV Project managed by ECOtality and is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy deploying EV charging infrastructure in Tennessee. Her presentation was very praxis-oriented offering tips, best practices, and recommendations to avoid mistakes the State of Tennessee has encountered in the past.
Elizabeth N. Lawton, Regional Manager in the DC Metro/Southern Maryland Region, Government Services, ECOtality also spoke at the event. Elizabeth will be a great contact on EV projects in VA and MD. We sent Julie Arner, PEG, information about getting in touch with Elizabeth. After the presentation leaders introduced the following working groups that attendees joined in a breakout session:
- Codes, EVSE Permitting – John Fogg, RRPDC;
- Sites & Installation – Michael Phillips, VCC and John Fogg, RRPDC;
- Education & Training – Chuck Swaim, JSRCC;
- Incentives – Andrew Flavin, Dominion
As TerraScapes sponsored the event, we had the opportunity to showcase the CEBN information and other clean energy materials. Eleven businesses joined the CEBN. The event was a great opportunity to find out about some Virginia municipalities who are getting on board with the deployment of the EVs.

How to get a good grade on a college exam
Many people are going to provide you with a ton of study techniques for exams and tell you all these so-called secrets to passing exams, but lets be honest. There is no secret to passing exams, it is obvious. The basics is you have to know the material and regurgitate what the teacher wants you to know. There are some things that can help you do a little better on the exam though.
Definitly get plenty of rest the night before. If you don't you will be so tired that you can't focus on the exam and all the studying you did will be wasted.
If it is an essay exam, write wayyy more than you need to. In my experience I always get a better grade when I write way more information into it than I think I need to include, because it shows the teacher that you know your stuff. Essay grading is subjective, so you want to be on your teachers good side. Even if you don't know a lot about what you are writing about, if you write a lot of material, even if most of it is b.s., as long as it isn't just crap you will probably get a decent grade.
Take your time. Do not rush through the exam, but on the other hand don't second-guess yourself on every answer. I have realized that almost everytime I start to second guess I get the answer wrong. If you don't know the answer skip it and come back to it.
Always ask the teacher for extra credit. The worst thing they can say is no, but sometimes they will give you a very easy way to get extra credit. I think anyone would be happy to get some extra credit at the end of the semester!
Eat before you take the test. Do not eat a whole lot, because that can make you sleepy/groggy and mess up your concentration. But you do want to eat something because you can focus better with food in your stomach.
Pray. Alot. Duh.
Don't panic. Never ever ever panic during an exam. If you do, you may as well leave because you will fail. When you panic all of your logical thinking goes out the door, along with your good grade. Always stay calm and don't stress if you don't know one answer.
Make sure you give yourself adequate study time, and do a good review of the information. This one should be obvious also.

LONGSHOREMAN– Can feel hard done by if you were on him. FLYING!
AQUATOR– Improved lengths from debut run and I think we can have a dabble at good odds next start.
DEVIL'S MELODY– She was terrific with a few things against her. Hit the line well.
PURFECTRESS- She keeps surprising me and her effort after getting to the outside was once again very good. She can win very soon.

The photo pictures the sun shinning above the trees in the forest and through the clouds.
God is there with us even when we are walking in the forest of decisions in our lives and when there are clouds of depression and fear hanging over us.
We just need to look up to see Him and follow His voice.
Saturday – November 9, 2013 – 10:00 p.m.
Hi, my name is Sylvia,
I would like to give God all the Honor and Glory for what He did this night. I was at my daughter and son-in-law's apartment. They had ordered Pizza, so we could eat and watch a movie. We ate around 8:00 p.m. or so. Then about 10:00 p.m., I felt led to go home and I told my daughter. She said, "We are about to watch a movie." I told her, "I have got to go home." In my spirit, I felt an urgency to just go home. So I left in my car and got on W. Houston Harte Expressway. As I was on the highway, I looked through my rear view mirror and saw this vehicle coming up really fast and then slowed down when it got close to my car. The driver then stepped on the gas like he was wanting to race with me. I let go of my gas peddle and he stepped on his gas peddle and went away really fast. Up ahead I saw the pickup swerving from side to side.
I just started praying. As I approached Glenna Street overpass, I just saw a lot of dust everywhere, but I didn't see the pickup anymore. Then I looked up to my right and saw the pickup truck on top of the hill on the side of the road. It was all wrecked. I pulled over and called 911. As I was running up the hill, I could hear in my mind my pastor say, "Souls are in the balance." So I ran faster and could see two men on their cell phones calling for help as well. I asked one man where the driver was. He said that he is on the passenger's side. I ran to the other side and saw his body twisted out of shape and he was not moving. I thought that he was dead. However, I said, "Son, I have called for help." Then he lifted his head and I then realized that he was still alive. He tried to speak but blood was coming out of his mouth. I told him not to move and that help was coming. I said, "Son, I don't know you, but God is telling me that He knows you and for you to call upon Him right now." "Right now, repent and ask God to forgive you of your sins." He again tried to speak, but more blood came out of his mouth. I told him, "Don't move. Don't move. Just talk to God in your heart. He hears you. He knows you." Then I just started praying myself and asking the Holy Spirit to help him. Then I backed away as the police and paramedics arrived. In a few minutes, I saw the paramedics cover the victim with a white sheet.
One policeman asked me to give written statement. After filling it in, he said that I had not given a full report in that I had not written on it about praying with the victim. He said that I need to add that part because there are but a few people that stand up for their beliefs. After some time the police office said that I could leave. When I got home, I prayed and told the Lord that I needed to know if young man had made it to heaven. Then the Lord spoke to me and said, "Sylvia, I would not have put you there if he was not going to make it." Then I asked the Lord, "What now?" The Lord said, "Go tell his mom and dad that he made it."
There had been at the scene of the accident another young man who knew the name of the victim. My daughter and son-in-law helped me search for the family of the young man who had been killed. I found when and where the viewing the body would be. It was at the viewing at church where I met the young man's parents. His father was very concerned about whether or not his son was saved. I assured him that I was at the scene of the accident and that I had shared the gospel with him and believe that God spoke clearly to me that he, indeed, had made a commitment before he died.
As I have privately shared with others what God has done through this experience, many have been encouraged and have heard that some may have even been saved. I believe that this testimony should be shared with the body of Christ as a whole giving God the Honor and Glory.

Not too far from Bondi Junction's commercial shopping strip, Woollahra is now the latest notch in Sonoma's belt of bakery-cafe hybrids. It's a more sedate spot in contrast to the bustling streets nearby, but that makes it all the more perfect, offering a place of respite from the well-heeled boutiques in the vicinity.
The dark timber surfaces and a minimalist fit-out make for a familiar Sonoma touch, as does the Single Origin Roasters coffee (blended and roasted to suit the seasons), more-ish pastries and cakes, mueslis and the sandwiches, which seem so simple but always impress. And that's without even mentioning the shelves piled with breads in dozens of varieties, from seed-studded sourdoughs to polenta loaves and giant wheels of miche.
Coffee nerds might be more intrigued by the on-tap milk system in place (dubbed 'The Juggler'), which cuts down on bottle waste and removes the stop-start motions of making milk-based coffees. It's so seamless that you may not even notice it.
But otherwise, Sonoma Woollahra is much the same as their other venues, in the most pleasant of ways.

NEW BADEN — Hitting was the name of the game Wednesday for the Metro East Bears.
They struck for 14 hits and routed Olney, 11-1, in a seven-inning Senior Legion baseball game here in the Fifth Division Tournament.
The top-seeded Bears, now 24-6, play District 22 rival Fairview Heights at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the weeklong tournament. They are the only two unbeaten teams remaining in the double elimination tournament. Action will continue Friday and possibly Saturday, with the winner going on to the state finals in Arlington Heights.
Metro East has already beaten Fairview three times this season, outscoring them 15-2 along the way. And Bears' pitcher Tommy Flack, who owns two of those victories, is expected to get the ball in today's pivotal game. The winner will get a date in the championship game, while the loser will have to go through the losers bracket.
Kyle Zach blasted a three-run home run and drove in five runs to send the Bears past Olney. Jordan Briggs added three hits to back winning pitcher Casey Fair, now 5-1. Olney dropped to 10-12.
Briggs went 3-for-3 with a double and Zach was 2-for-4 with a double and his first home run of the season. Teammate Austin Stilts was 1-for-2, reached base three times and scored twice.
Fair gave up seven hits in a complete-game effort. He struck out seven and walked one. The Bears have had two complete games in their first two Fifth Division outings. It was Fair's first appearance since working in the Fourth of July Firecracker Tournament at Moore Park.
