Early years and personal life
Lowell was born in Puerto Rico to Carl and Beatriz Lowell on February 24, 1974. His parents were born in Cuba, and are of Irish and Spanish ancestry. His family relocated to Miami, Florida when Lowell was four years old. As a high school sophomore, he was chosen to play for the varsity baseball team at Christopher Columbus High School, but did not get playing time, so he transferred to Coral Gables for his junior year.
In 1992, Lowell graduated from Coral Gables Senior High School in Coral Gables, Florida, where he had a 4.0 GPA and was a star player on the baseball team. There, he met future wife Bertica, a member of the school's nationally recognized Gablettes dance team, of which she became coach years later. They have one daughter, Alexis Ileana Lowell, and one son named Anthony.
Lowell's autobiography, Deep Drive: A Long Journey to Finding the Champion Within, was published on May 6, 2008. On February 19, 1999, Lowell was diagnosed with testicular cancer, causing him to miss nearly two months of the 1999 season while he underwent treatment for the disease. However, he later recovered and went on to play baseball professionally.The Lowell family currently resides in Pinecrest, Florida.
Florida International University
Lowell was awarded an athletic scholarship to attend Florida International University. In the summer of 1994 he played for the Chatham A's in the Cape Cod Baseball League. Lowell graduated from Florida International University in 1997 with a Bachelors Degree in Finance.
A three-time All Conference player with Florida International University, his uniform number 15 was retired. Lowell was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 1995 Major League Baseball Draft, and eventually made his MLB debut with the New York Yankees during the 1998 season.
Major League Baseball
New York Yankees
Lowell was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 20th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball Draft. He made his MLB debut as a September call-up for the Yankees in 1998, singling in his first at-bat and playing eight games in the season. He was traded in the off-season to the Florida Marlins.
Florida Marlins
Lowell was traded to the Florida Marlins on February 1, 1999. While waiting for spring training, he discovered that he had testicular cancer and underwent surgery on February 21 returning to the lineup on May 29. He finished his season with a .253 BA, 12 home runs, and 47 RBI.
Lowell had successful years in Florida and established himself as one of the elite third baseman in the league. In 2001, he finished with 18 home runs and 100 RBI.
Lowell was on pace to have a great season in 2003, but in late August, he suffered a broken hand when he was hit by a pitch by the Montreal Expos' Hector Almonte, forcing him to miss 32 games, and he finished the season with 32 home runs and 105 RBI. He was replaced by Miguel Cabrera. He returned to help the Marlins on the way to their World Series victory. In 2004, he hit a career high at the time .293 with 27 home runs and 85 RBI. Despite a disappointing 2005 season in which he hit .236 with only 8 homers and a .298 on-base percentage, Lowell earned his first Gold Glove Award. Lowell also finished third in doubles in the league with 47 in the 2005 season.
The Marlins traded him to Boston in a deal that was officially completed on November 21, 2005, in which the Red Sox received Lowell, Josh Beckett and Guillermo Mota in exchange for Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez, Jesús Delgado and Harvey García.
Boston Red Sox
Although the Boston Red Sox took on Lowell and his contract largely because the Marlins would not trade pitcher Josh Beckett without relieving themselves of Lowell's salary, Lowell fared better than expected as a member of the 2006 Red Sox, for a time leading the league in doubles and providing solid defense at third base. Lowell finished with 20 HR and 80 RBI, and he was tied with Eric Chavez for the best fielding percentage at his position.
The 2007 season turned out to be one of Lowell's best, in which he set career bests in hits, RBI, batting average, OPS, and played a key role in helping the Red Sox win their second World Series in four years. One of the early highlights of the season came on April 22 when Lowell was one of the four Red Sox players to hit consecutive home runs against the Yankees. During the first half, Lowell hit .300 and led the team with 14 home runs (tied with David Ortiz) and 63 RBI. This performance helped earn him a spot on the 2007 American League All-Star Team as a reserve player voted in on the player's ballot.
As the Red Sox held onto its lead in the American League East division, Lowell continued to carry the team by hitting .350 during the second half. His season total of 120 RBI was not only a personal best but a franchise record for a Red Sox third baseman, beating Butch Hobson's total of 112 in 1977. Lowell also finished with a .324 batting average, 21 home runs and 191 hits, another career high.
Lowell capped off the season by being named the 2007 World Series MVP as the Red Sox won their seventh World Series title. Lowell hit .400 with 1 HR, 4 RBI, 6 runs scored and a stolen base in the four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies. Lowell also became the second Puerto Rican player to be named the MVP of a World Series (the first one being Roberto Clemente).
Following the season, Lowell placed fifth in the American League Most Valuable Player voting. Although he filed for free agency, Lowell returned to the Red Sox after signing a three-year contract worth $37.5M.
Lowell had trouble with a torn hip labrum that required surgery between the 2008 and 2009 seasons. As a result he spent several stints on the disabled list. The injury caused him to miss most of the 2008 playoffs, including the ALCS when the Red Sox lost to the Tampa Bay Rays. It also kept him from representing Puerto Rico in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. He did return to action with the Red Sox in 2009, though he saw reduced playing time at third base in order to keep him healthy and in playing condition. After the Red Sox acquired Victor Martinez in a midseason trade with the Cleveland Indians, Lowell's playing time was reduced, casting his future with the team into doubt. After the season, it was speculated that the Red Sox would attempt to trade Lowell.
Following the 2009 season, the Red Sox and Texas Rangers agreed to a deal that would send Lowell to Texas for catcher Max Ramirez. However, the deal was called off by the Rangers when they discovered that Lowell required surgery on his right thumb. Lowell underwent a successful surgery on December 30. He remained with the Red Sox and joined the team for Spring Training following rehabilitation on his surgically repaired thumb. On April 10, 2010, Lowell announced that he would most likely retire after the 2010 season. In the 2010 season he played as a backup infielder at first and third base and as a pinch hitter. On August 3 after coming back from nearly 2 months on the disabled list, Lowell stepped into the batters box to a standing ovation at Fenway Park and hit a 2 run home run on the first pitch.
On October 2, 2010 the Boston Red Sox honored Mike Lowell with an on-field ceremony as he would go on to retire after the 2010 Major League Baseball season was complete.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
BEWARE OF SO CALLED RECOVERY ROOM SCAMS (HomeLand Arbitration) (Owner Michael Cooper- Being Investigated by the FTC) (Partner Ryan Clark) To all the Consumers, please be careful dealing with this company HomeLand Arbitration. They are not a trusted company. They have been known to target individuals that purchased educational products and services. They will contact you by email, phone, search engine or just mail you a letter. They come across like they are a government agency and convince people that they have been investigating a handful of business that provide educational and mentor services and they found out that the companies are scams. They then began to tell you that they will help you recover credit card charges with no Investment up front. If they are able to scam the card companies into giving you money back, they then charge you a fee from 20% up to 60% depending on if they think you're a sucker or not. Not only do they take advantage of the clients but they also submit forged documents to the credit card companies, that's why they ask you to send them a copy of any contracts or agreements so they can duplicate it with changes to submit to the card companies, which means if you allowed this company to work on your behalf than you and Home Land Arbitration have just committed a Federal Crime! Unfortunately this company won't tell you all of the details on how they do business. Do yourself a favor and Google (Michael Cooper Tax Club) and click on every link on that first page so you can see what type of people he is involved with and what kind of a character he is. My strong advice is to stay clear of Home Land Arbitration. They have multiple Lawsuits being filed against them for Fraud and a handful of other charges. Homeland Arbitration LLC.

SCAMMER UPDATE! It looks like Homeland Arbitration has changed their name to Smith Associates PA. (Surprise Surprise!) This is exactly what Scammers do to avoid getting tracked down faster. But the heat is on them now. It's just a matter of time before they have the FTC knocking at their door!
I also got a warning notice from my bank and they said to watch out for Homeland Arbitration. So now the banks are becoming aware of these Scammers. As I get more information I will keep everyone updated. I will also upload the fraudulent contract that these guys modified to trick the banks. Thanks for the information Wayne; you saved me a lot of time and money. My attorney recommends that I use a fake name so Homeland Arbitration AKA Smith Associates PA. doesn't try to do anything harmful to me. I'm sure you will see me back on here soon.

Hello Helen,
I think you have the wrong Wayne Hun, and once again your story sounds like someone from Homeland Arbitration.
If they helped you out, that's great! I'm surprised you're not going about your business and enjoying your life. Why are you searching the Internet about Homeland Arbitration? That's what makes me think your just a fake writing posts on RipOff Report defending a company that clearly is shady.
I'm not here to keep defending my bad experience with Homeland Arbitration. I think after people read the facts and do there due diligence they will clearly see what this company really is. In fact my attorney is still getting calls from my card company about the fraud document's Homeland submitted to them. As of right now we may have to take them to court just so I can clear my name with the Card Company.
Once we settle everything I will be glad to post the actually court document's just so everyone can see that I am telling the truth and to stay clear from these Scammers.
Good day

Thanks (Carol)? For your rebuttal, but your story sounds a little fishy and I believe your working for this company Homeland Arbitration!?!?
I'm an Ex-client of Homeland Arbitration and I have actual proof that your company forged my documents and submitted the information to the Credit Card Company. My Attorney dug up a lot of information about Homeland Arbitration and there is nothing you can say to make me think that these guys are legit.
In fact he found an FTC Lawsuit that sued a company just like Homeland Arbitration. Your company is called a Recovery Room. And if you look into what Recovery Rooms do, it's nothing but Fraud.
If anyone decides to work with these guys you might want to look at this lawsuit and do your due diligence.
Here is the link: http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2013/11/ftc-settlement-default-judgment-impose-permanent-ban-marketers
And just to set the record straight, I actually liked the training that I received from the Mentor program I joined. The only reason I decided to work with Homeland Arbitration was because they convinced me that the company I was working with was a fraud company and was in trouble with the law. After my Attorney did his due diligence we found out it was 100% false information.
No matter what (Carol)? Says, I still recommend staying far away from Homeland Arbitration and any other Recovery Room Companies. They are the real fraudulent companies that needs to be taken down!

I have used Homeland Arbitration to help me fight educational and coaching scam artists! Educational and coaching scam artists got me for close to $17,000. I was sick about it. They helped me win back most of my money and yes, i paid them a percentage.....however.....i can tell you, a percentage is 100% better than losing it all!! Thank you so very much Ryan Clark and Homeland Arbitration for all of your help not just for my case but for hundreds of others! If you have been scammed by Educational or offers of Coaching for starting an Internet Business, please, do yourself a favor and hire Homeland Arbitration to help you get your money back! You pay nothing until they win your case. You have nothing to lose! I highly recommend them!!

I noticed on this complaint was filed by Wayne-other, funny I received a call twice this week from a Wayne from Platinum Institute LLC, one of the same companies that is listed on Homeland Arbitration's report I received in letter form back in May 2013. Wayne should list his last name. That seems to be a problem with Platinum Institute, theie representatives don't provide their last names, when contacting you and signing you up into the training program. Prior to Wayne, I was trying to contact Kyle, who was the pushy sales rep for the program, when I got suckered into the program back in 9/2012, but I did write down his boss's name with promises of refunds if not satisfied, which will be in my complaint with the Federal Trade commission, already filed with the State of Utah and California, I want my money back, and get the company put on notice. Tired of companies scamming consumers. Homeland Arbitration is a service, they don't hide that in their letters or website, but they advised for free on where to file my complaints, did not ask for my credit card or a fee. So stop hiding behind lies Wayne-other.
Helen Flora, not other.

Hi Guys,
Excellent plugin!
I'm getting a large build up of cache files which is causing the VPS to run out of space, I can see that all caches are set to default 180/3600 so I'm not sure why this is happening as cache folder is now over 4 gigs but the site is less than 1gig.
Any ideas on how I can prevent this?

This officiant often performs Short Marriage Vows.
"Short and sweet" is often a request that we hear. And we can provide the wedding ceremony for you or read one that you have.
Sometimes brides and grooms have horrible stage fright or are shy. Or they are very no-fuss about their wedding and prefer a very short wedding reading. Sometimes an engaged couple feels so deeply for each other that they don't feel the need to express it for a long time in front of other people. We understand.
We often perform short wedding ceremonies. Most people opt for We can make it less than a minute- – it's all up to you. There are a few requirements for the marriage ceremony, such as that you both have to agree to be married by the officiant, but that can be done very quickly or casually even. You aren't required to exchange rings, or kiss, or say anything to each other. Just let us know what you are comfortable with and we will let you know if that isn't required.
Your wedding vow should be done your way. If you are looking for wedding vows short and you need a wedding officiant then you have found your Guy! Officiant Guy.
Officiant Guy is the leading marriage celebrant in Orange County and Los Angeles County.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyPlaying Clement Hurd to the late, great Brown is a tall order for any illustrator, even when the volume is no Goodnight, Moon. Brown serves up contagious rhyme with an alliterative sing-song refrain: ``Oh he walked around the world on his four fur feet,/ his four fur feet,/ his four fur feet./ And he walked around the world on his four fur feet/ and never made a sound-O.'' Faced with the challenge of visualizing the perambulating fur-footed creature, Hubbard (Hip Cat) responds with a roughly drawn, vaguely schnauzer-like animal; this banana-yellow beast boasts indeterminate red swirls that indicate wavy hair, and it appears flat as a paper cutout. The artist's opaque gouaches, solidly rendered in a childlike hand and in the zippiest of palettes, have the simplicity of Brown's tongue-twisters, but not their liveliness. Ages 3-8. (Nov.)

Editorial Reviews
School Library Journal - School Library JournalPreSA rousing, rhythmic chant about an appealing animal. ``Oh, he walked around the world on his four fur feet,/his four fur feet,/his four fur feet....and never made a sound-O.'' Sunny gouache illustrations in paintbox colors show his travels as he pads along a river, past a railroad, out into the country where he eventually dreams peacefully about the round world. It's a simple, repetitive tale with the sort of serious whimsy Brown wrote so well. Unlike Remy Charlip's illustrations for the 1961 edition, Hubbard's new artwork depicts the creature itselfand a magnificent beast it is, toowith bright squiggles of red adorning its yellow coat and luxurious curly black whiskers. A fine addition to picture-book collections.Caroline Parr, Central Rappahannock Regional Library, Fredericksburg, VA

Pros: Size and everything else. Will likely get another for the Kitchen.

Other Thoughts: Hooked up in bedroom. Size is perfect. Performs like any desktop PC or laptop using wireless mouse and keyboard.
I'm not playing games on it but everything else works great. It handles 1080P but the view distance makes 720P the better choice on a 40" LED LCD HDTV.

Romine hit .423 at the plate, paced the league with 11 hits, and was second with 20 total bases. He was tied for the league lead with six extra-base hits which included four doubles, a triple, and a home run. The shortstop also scored five runs, knotted five RBI, and recorded a stolen base. His week was highlighted by five straight multi-hit games including a 2-for-5 night with a home run at Round Rock on Thursday. Romine's hot bat helped the Bees extend their lead to six games over Tacoma in the Pacific Northern Division after a 5-1 record during the week.
Born in Winter Haven, Florida, Romine was a 5th round pick by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 2007 draft out of Arizona State University. In 2010, he was named a Texas League All-Star and an AFL Rising Star. Romine made his Major League debut on September 24th, 2010 against the Chicago White Sox. He is batting .289 with four home runs and 39 RBI in 87 games this season for Salt Lake.
Kickham made two dominant starts last week, earning wins at home versus Albuquerque and on the road at Iowa. On Monday against the Isotopes, the left-hander threw six shutout innings as he struck out four and allowed four hits and two walks. He followed up on Saturday with eight shutout innings allowing just two hits and no walks while striking out three Cubs.
Kickham, born in St. Louis, Missouri, was a sixth-round draft pick by the San Francisco Giants in 2010 out of Missouri State University. He made his Major League debut against the Oakland A's on May 28th of this year. After his back-to-back victories last week, Kickham has improved to 6-7 on the season with a 4.41 ERA in 19 starts for the Grizzlies.

Long story short my mother was unaware of my duo and I had a hearing this week and informed the judge I could not afford the interlock system but when I told my mother she told me to get the interlock system and she will pay for it. I've contacted...
Mr. Scherr is correct. However, you should examine the documents you were given at the MVA hearings very carefully. Sometimes, and administrative law judge will give you the alternative of installing the Interlock within a specified period of time in his order.See question
He is 15
I would only add the following to Mr. Simmons very accurate and succinct answer. He is 15 years old and you have some risks of your own when you cannot prevent him from acting out and committing criminal violations. For example, if his juvenile actions result in the loss of life, property, or the earning capacity of another person, you can be ordered to make restitution to the injured person(s). You need to be in court to protect yourself as well as your child. Your absence will speak volumes to the court, which might be more forgiving to him because it misconstrues your absence as disinterest and not frustration. If you attend, you can address the court and ask the court to support your productive efforts to help your son make better choices. I wish you well.See question
I received a citation for metro fare evasion on thursday 07/25/13 in montgomery county maryland. I have yet to recieve a letter from the court announcing my date. I called today and they said my citation has not even been registered yet. Should i ...
Yes. Your attorney can show you how to proactively minimize your risks and prepare you to obtain the best result. Some proactive opportunities will require you to budget your time so that you can both help your case and fulfill personal and educational obligations. Waiting for a court date will increase your stress level as you face this challenge unassisted and your time to prepare and be proactive shrinks. I wish you well.See question
had dui 6 years ago as third dui from maryland And recently I had dui in Virginia 2 year ago. And I'm trying to reinstate MD license And I went MVA to check my PBJ or complete driving record , I was surprise that didn't see any record from Vir...
If you are currently suspended or revoked in Virginia, you will not be issued a Maryland license. The forms you submit to the Maryland MVA in order to obtain reinstatement require you to state whether you are suspended or revoked in any other state. The forms are submitted under oath. This means that if you do not tell the truth you face prosecution for perjury and the license that may have relied on your false statement will be invalidated. You can check the status of your Virginia driving privileges by obtaining a Certified copy of your Virginia driving record.
If your Complete Maryland Driving record, a copy of which is available from the Maryland MVA, is silent concerning your Virginia DUI, there are several reasons for that silence and some of those reasons can hurt you. The most likely reason is that you obtained a license in another State, such as Virginia, after you were revoked in Maryland and did not disclose your Maryland revocation at the time you obtained that license. As noted in the first paragraph, failure to make that disclosure creates additional risks to you and your efforts for reinstatement.
Under your specific circumstances, your best option is to retain a Maryland attorney to assist you with reinstatement. He can help you determine your exposure for any mistakes you may have made in obtaining driving privileges elsewhere after you had been revoked in Maryland.
If you do not believe you committed any misrepresentation, I apologize for raising the issue with you. However, the fact that you were revoked by Maryland after a third DUI six years ago, but were driving four years later in Virginia while still revoked in Maryland, strongly suggests that you obtained a license elsewhere after being revoked in Maryland.
Get an attorney now to avoid any additional problems through self-help and to expedite your efforts to become reinstated. I wish you well.See question
Also will I have jail time,, I have four children at home ranging from 17 years - 3 months old. BAC this time was .018
Mr. Athen's answer is correct and you need to retain an experienced DWI defense attorney now. You are focusing on a very small part of the problems you are facing. You are at serious risk whether or not this new arrest technically qualifies as a repeat offense for purposes of mandatory jail sentencing, enhanced sentencing, or pretrial suspension at the MVA level. The fact is that the Judge and the MVA will treat you as someone who has been proven to have committed this offense before and has come back to commit it again. Even if the trial judge is limited to sentencing you to only one year, the judge's default will be to sentence you in such a way that you must give your involvement with alcohol and driving your full attention. You need an attorney now to begin to explore the reasons for taking the same risks that you took ten years ago, to direct you to the types of actions that will show a judge you are committed to finding out why you repeated your behavior, and to investigate and prepare any defenses which might lower your risks at trial. I wish you well.See question
He has been on probation for 14 months with no problems. He has 10 more months.
It is virtually a default condition of probation for a DUI/DWI case that the probationer not commit any new offenses for which he could receive a jail sentence. The only way that this would not be a condition of probation in Maryland is if the Judge crossed it out on the printed probation form that judges use to record the conditions of probation in a DUI case. In addition, the probation department will do a record search, shortly before the expiration of probation, to make sure that the probationer has not been charged with new offenses. Your son needs to contact an attorney at once, have the attorney review the probation order, and prepare your son to report the probation in a way which does not minimize your son's poor judgment. In addition, the attorney can help your son determine whether he needs to request increased alcohol education and take other actions to demonstrate to the court that your son is dedicated to avoiding any further alcohol violations. I wish him well.See question
I was caught shoplifting under $50 of merchandise and I am not a juvenile. They took me to the back of the store and took down my information and had me sign a paper that said I was banned. A police officer was present and took down my name and ad...
You need to talk with a criminal defense attorney promptly. It is most probably that you will be charged. Insurance companies often require that the store prosecute shoplifting cases as a condition of providing insurance coverage for such losses. In addition, you are likely to receive a civil demand letter from the store, requesting that you pay damages of up to three times the value of the item taken. Unless the civil demand letter specifically states that your payment is not an admission of guilt, your payment can be considered as evidence of guilt at your trial on the criminal shoplifting charge. Do not wait until the last minute, simply hoping that this problem will evaporate due to lack of interest by the store. Consult an attorney now. I wish you well.See question
First Time offense. 12 years in the U.S navy
You cannot appeal a conviction for a felony. However, you may still be eligible to convert your conviction into Probation before Judgement, which can be expunged, if you act very promptly. Consult with a criminal defense lawyer now to determine if there is still time for you to file for a motion (request) for modification of your conviction to Probation before Judgement, or to appeal your conviction to the Circuit Court (assuming that the original conviction took place in District Court). If you receive Probation Before Judgement by Modification or Appeal, you may still have a path to expungement once your probationary period is served successfully. This is a bit of a simplification because you may have to wait an additional time period, following the expiration of your probation. But you need to act quickly, by discussing your case with an attorney today, to find out if you are already time barred, or soon to become time barred, from obtaining the relief I've described. I wish you well.See question
From 2006
You have asked whether a DUI from 2006 will appear on a background check. If you were convicted of DUI, It almost certainly will. A court conviction does not leave your record solely due to the lapse of time. However, if you were placed in a diversion program and completed the program successfully, you may not have a conviction. Contact the court where you were prosecuted for DUI, call the Clerk of the Court, and ask for the disposition. If you are confused by the Clerk's answer, simply ask whether the disposition was a conviction and whether it is still recorded as a disposition in the Court's records. I wish you well.See question

You state that you are on probation for 5 years because you committed 3 separate DWI's three and one half years ago and that the probation fees have become a burden. You ask whether a judge would grant a motion to end your probation. You should retain an attorney. Given that you had three separate DUI charges, it is unlikely that a Judge would simply end probation. However, the Judge might be willing to adjust the probation fees, or waive them, due to your financial circumstances. You should contact an attorney who regularly practices in the court that placed you on probation, and arrange a consultation to discuss this issue in more detail and for fact specific legal advice. I wish you well.See question

The feminine receptacle for Mashiach is associated with Shekinah Quoting: rachel3108 So based on my chart Rachel who would you say I am or will embody inthe coming years. Who does my chart represent as far as revelation is concerned? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40381004 Do you know about the blood moons of 2014-2015? Based on Jupiter's transits I believe your revelation is connected with this cycle. You can read about it here or on the sites I link to in this article: [link to kabbalastrology.wordpress.com] After the blood moon on Passover 2015, you will be completing your inner work. Between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av your higher self will come to light and have expression in the outside world. This will happen around July of 2015 when Jupiter crosses into the 7th house. Read here about the revelation of the Ba'al Shem Tov, who was born two days after you on the Kabbalistic calendar: [link to www.meaningfullife.com] He was hidden for 40 years and revealed at the time of sunrise on the sixth day of creation, or three quarters of the way through the sixth millenium (1740), as prophecized by the Zohar. He went from nobody schoolteacher to miracle worker and leader when the time came. Your revelation will have to do with making peace between traditions (planets in Libra, MC in Sagittarius) through the bringing forth of new layers of traditional texts (IC in Gemini). It is a good idea to spend the rest of your incubation period studying, beginning with the Bible, and moving into the esoteric layers. (Study can also hasten the revelation, as Torah preceded time) Your north node conjunct Uranus in the 8th house opposite Moon and Chiron in Taurus indicates a past life wound which is at odds with your soul purpose and which you will alchemize as part of the fulfillment of your mission. The mission of your soul is very high as the north node is linked with Uranus which represents the crown of the tree of Life. The Moon in Taurus is associated with the creation of the world and the generations of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob before the formation of the Israelite nation. Chiron indicates a wound which will turn into a source of strength. It could be that your past life is connected with the book of Genesis in some way. You may have come back to bridge a rift between Israel and the early nations mentioned in the stories of Abraham and Melkizedek. When you realize that the role you played in other lives was part of the divine plan, and resolve wholeheartedly to do teshuva or complete return in this lifetime, you have the power to turn the sins of kings and nations and entire periods of history into merits and thus make the world worthy in the eyes of Heaven and hasten the revelation. Your Chiron is at 1 Taurus which on the Tree of Life is parallel to the Tiferet of Malchut. Tiferet is represented by the biblical patriarch Jacob. Malchut is the feminine presence, Shekhinah, and the Ruach HaKodesh. This relates to the experience you are carrying from a past life and the basis from which you emerge to move towards your soul mission in this lifetime. The Tiferet of Malchut is the Sun within the Moon, the masculine within the feminine, the chosen one within the holy spirit. Taurus was also the sign of the Bull and was expressed at the sin of the golden calf when the Israelites waited for their leader to descend from the mountain and turned to a statue instead. This statue represented Tiferet, beauty, of the other side, as they yearned for Malchut, the holy spirit, of Moses. It could also be that you carry a wound from this traumatic experience of turning to external beauty while waiting for true revelation. The rectification of this is bringing the material world into service of the higher truth, through blessing food, giving charity, creating a family, using wealth for the dissemination of knowledge, etc. Rather than asceticism, explore how lifting the sparks of the material world serves to express G-d's dominion over the body and world of matter as well, expressing the ultimate truth of oneness. The past can also be rectified by acquiring a deeper understanding (node in Scorpio) of how the pitfalls and stumbling blocks of the moments when revelation was blocked served to bring in higher levels of revelation and compassion into the universe and thus demonstrate how all serves the ultimate good, as known by the Divine Will (Keter). In our time too, it is easy to judge the world. There is a deeper way, the way of the Jewish mystics and true seers of all traditions, who know that G-d's dominion is hidden to such a degree that even the challenge to holiness serves to advance the ultimate purpose. This deeper layer of reality is accessed through Torah study, which brings forth Chesed - lovingkindness, and judges the world favorably. Yearly beginning from the end of August through the winter solstice will be a period of relative revelation and action, peaking at the end of November when the sun crosses your midheaven. On the Kabbalistic calendar this is also the new year for the revelation of new mystical secrets that hasten the messianic era. By increasing Torah study throughout the year this time becomes all the more potent. The Rebbe's words for 4 Scorpio, the degree of your north node-Uranus, is "the atmosphere of the home becomes an atmosphere of Torah and piety." This is the true meaning of the building of the third temple, right within our own very midst. Hope this helps ;) hf [/quote]

I'm having quite the rough time figuring out how to install my graphics drivers correctly. Ubuntu runs fine off of the integrated 4000, however I do not have a screen that has vga. I need to use the mini displayport from the Radeon HD 7850. (I have to use my girlfriend's screen while setting ubuntu up which means she can't use her computer)
I have tried many things including http://askubuntu.com/questions/20511.../210565#210565
However when I got to the first reboot in those directions ubuntu would only boot into low graphics mode and would stop recognizing my input devices. Thus I am stuck. Spent about 8 hours yesterday screwing around with all of the different ways I could.

The International Crimes Tribunal-1 on Thursday fixed April 23 for order whether it would indict detained Mobarak Hossain of Akhaura, Brahmnabaria, for his alleged involvement in perpetrating crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War.
The three-member tribunal, headed by Justice ATM Fazle Kabir, will also pass order on the same day whether it would set the accused free from the charges of war crimes and entertain his bail plea.
With the accused in the dock, the tribunal passed the order after hearings on the two petitions filed by the prosecution and the defence lawyers.
The prosecution pressed for initiating trial after framing charges against the accused while the defence counsel prayed for discharging his client from the case.
Detained Mobarak also prayed for his bail.
Backing the discharge petition, senior defence counsel Ahsanul Huq Hena claimed his client to be innocent saying that he had no connection with the charges of crimes against humanity during the Liberation War. Inordinate delay in filing the case after long four decades raises doubt about the allegations, he added.
About the bail plea, the defence counsel told the tribunal that his client should be enlarged on bail. Accused Mobarak did not misuse the terms of bail granted to him by this tribunal earlier.
On March 12, after taking cognisance of the formal charge made against Mobarak Hossain by the prosecution, the tribunal sent him to jail, rejecting his bail extension prayer.
According to the prosecution, Mobarak, a Razakar commander in 1971, faces five charges like genocide, murder, torture, killing and abduction.
A total of 21 people have been made prosecution witnesses in the case.
Khodeja Begum, whose father was allegedly killed by Mobarak, had filed a case with Brahmanbaria court on May 3, 2009 which was transferred to the International Crimes Tribunal in 2011 for order.
The tribunal then asked its investigation agency to investigate the matter.

Reviews for Iowa Friends of Companion Animals
I was one of the many people who was unaware of the existence of puppy mills until I started to see information posted on Facebook by the Iowa Friends of Companion Animals. My heart hurts for the dogs and puppies in these horrible places, and I support the work done by this amazing group to bring their plight to people's attention. "Man's Best Friend" needs our help, and I feel that the best hope of changing the laws in favor of the dogs is by supporting Iowa Friends of Companion Animals.
Many people don't even know that puppy mills even exist (and the torture that the dogs in them endure) and Iowa Friends of Companion Animals is working hard to change that. Bringing this to the attention of our legislators and fellow Iowans is so important. Working to get the laws changed is crucial. The work that Iowa Friends of Companion Animals is so important!
Bringing awareness to the plight of the dogs and puppies who are forced to live in puppy mills is very important to me and I believe that Iowa Friends of Companion Animals does great work.

Will you volunteer or donate to this organization?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
A very respectable Iowa based, all volunteer organization focusing on improving the welfare of companion animals in Iowa. There are so many great organizations who do phenomenal work in providing care and rescuing animals in need. It is great that there is an organization focusing on the heart of the problem through educating efforts. It validates and supports the work of shelters and rescue operations.
I had my first contact with Iowa Friends of Companion Animals about four years ago. I loved how this dear lady, saw a need and instead of just thinking it was a sad situation, she actually started a movement to help animals-primarily dogs!!! A lot of people see a problem, but few are willing to put the time and effort into fixing it like Iowa Friends has. I enjoy helping with their work to spread word that there are dogs in need and there are positive ways in which to help them. The organization provides a lot of valuable information that is beneficial when talking to others who are interested in joining. They are willing to answer questions. They have cool merchandise to purchase. Their events are fun!! I love working with Iowa Friends of Companion Animals!!
Caring, committed and compassionate! Mary LaHay and all volunteers with Iowa Friends of Companion Animals are so amazing and NEEDED! There is such a need to educate Iowans on the issues with puppy mills and how one does their homework to ensure you are working with a responsible breeder. One of the many things I appreciate about this group is it is fact based. Data is so important and this group does it's homework. The numbers tell the story and why change is needed. This can be such an emotional area, and I hope we never lose that piece of it, but in the data is critical to show the need for change.

I wish these people lobby for regulations and humane treatment for the poor dogs that are trucked in and out of the state.
Or better yet use the money the raise to actually help the shelters, instead of "lobbying" for a change in laws rather than lobbying for the enforcement of the laws in place already.

I have just joined this organization, but I have been impressed with their dedication and energy. I have also been impressed with their political savvy and ability to contact and work in a positive way with legislators and community leaders.

An amazing organization that works tirelessly on behalf of Iowa's 15,000 commercial breeding dogs that languish inside Iowa's 200 USDA-licensed puppy mills. Iowa Friends is their voice, 24-7...these dogs are lucky to have IaFriends advocating for them and for "Better Laws For Those With Paws."

Until Iowa Friends was established, I had absolutely no idea that Iowa had such a disheartening puppy mill problem...and I was born and raised in this state. Iowa Friends has brought the very dark topic of puppy mills into the light and into the minds of legislators, the media and Iowans across the state. Now, thanks to Iowa Friends' wonderful work, more Iowans than ever are getting the message - and laws are changing, puppy mills are closing and dogs are being protected. There is much work left to do, but with continued support, Iowa Friends will continue to make a huge positive impact on this very disturbing and infrequently-discussed problem.

This group was how I learned of the puppy mills and why I try to impress on people to adopt NOT shop! Mary LaHay has and continues to fight for legislation to clean up Iowa puppy mills. Iowa Friends of Companion Animals encourages 1. To adopt but also asks you to ask yourself some tough questions as to puppy ownership, 2. To educate the public on how bad the puppy mill problem is in our state and 3. To report issues you may witness to law enforcement.

Weight: about 80kg
Low bar Squat: 75kg for 5 reps
Deadlift: 90kg for 5 reps
Press: 45kg for 5 reps
There's a weightlifting class I can attend, but first I'd like to ask a few questions.
1) Should I get any special gear I should use from the begining? (I've got WL shoes for now)
2) Should I take a "prep phase" before starting, in which I shall learn how to HB squat and work on my flexibility? (my LB squat breaks parallel, but I can't do a full ranged HB Squat yet) How should I program it?
Any other information would be much welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
1. No, you don't need any special gear to get started. The fact you have WL shoes will be more than enough.
2. No need to do a prep phase. The class should teach you the high bar squat and every other movement you will need to learn. You can work on flexibility as you learn the movements.
My advice to anyone is to just get started!! Good luck!!

Moscow -- Russian police said they arrested a woman who tried to prevent her daughter's wedding by falsely accusing her of plotting to blow up a plane.
Investigators said the 56-year-old Yaroslavl woman was arrested after allegedly calling police and claiming her daughter was planning a suicide bomb attack on a plane traveling from Moscow's Domodedovo Airport to Morocco, RIA Novosti reported Wednesday.
The flight was delayed for an unspecified amount of time while officers investigated.
"Her daughter recently fell in love with a Moroccan citizen and was planning to get married to him and move to Morocco. The woman was against the marriage and did not want her daughter to move abroad," a police spokeswoman said.
