Anybody can love a friend, but the proving of agape love comes when we love our enemies. Through the power of God's love we are able bless those who curse us and we can hold back from retaliating to those who have hurt us. We can be at peace knowing that it is God's job to take on injustices rather than seeking our own vengeance. We may hate the conduct of others while at the same time hoping and praying for redemption in their lives. We can overcome evil with good through the power of loving … [Read more...]

Rest in God Beyond the Outcomes of Life by Robert Ricciardelli
The presence and peace of God cannot be realized when stuck in the "doing" of life rather than the "being" in God. There is a rest that only can come from being one with God. It's about not being attached to the outcomes in life, but about being present and happy whether you achieve your goals or not. We must let go of the person the world thinks we should be and enjoy every part of the journey in the integrity of who God designed us to become. Do not abandon your goals, but embrace the peace a … [Read more...]
Supernatural Trickle in the River of Life by Robert Ricciardelli
We are each a tributary in the "River of Life." There's Living Water flowing from each one of us. Even when we think that we're only a trickle, trickles join with others forming a stream. Streams flow together to become a river and rivers flow to nourish the land and it's people, first becoming ankle deep, then knee deep, then deep enough to swim in. We must never underestimate the power of the moving water of Spirit and Life. Trees of life grow on both sides of the River with fruit from heaven t … [Read more...]
God Will Show You "How" to Move Past your "Why" by Robert Ricciardelli
Why did I not get the job? Why don't I have joy and peace in my life? Why did this happen to me? Why, why, why? The "Why" questions in life are not nearly as productive as the "How" questions. How am I going to overcome this? How can I get that job? How can I find real joy and peace? You may never find the answers for "Why," but God can give you the insight and direction on "How." Seek God with all of your heart, soul, and mind, and He will show you how to navigate with Him through every area of … [Read more...]
Yielded to Christ: In Every Trial There is a Blessing by Victoria Boyson
There is an unclean spirit whose sole purpose is to convince us that he is God. He comes sounding very much like God and plays on our weaknesses and on our sinful thoughts and desires. It is sent to deceive those who have a strong gift of intercession, and it seeks to gain access to our hearts and minds to use our prayers to bring harm to the Body of Christ. One of its goals is to cause our mouths to come into agreement with the realms of darkness.This demon may present himself as a gift of … [Read more...]
Living Every Moment Well by Robert Ricciardelli
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They are busy doing things they think are important but have failed to reveal the glory of God through a purpose filled existence. They are lacking revelation of the here and now Kingdom and the part they play in it. The way they can get meaning into their lives is to devote themselves to loving God, loving others, and being committed to building community around them. Purpose and meaning will come as they are present in every moment and … [Read more...]
Knowing God Beyond Knowing About God by Robert Ricciardelli
We can come to know God by learning about God, but knowing about God without really knowing Him relationally means nothing. We just need God, living, loving, moving, and having our being with Him. He is waiting on us to acknowledge Him in all of our days while He delivers in miraculous ways. Our willingness to illuminate and reflect our intimacy with Him is foundational in maturing us into the image of Christ and the power of His presence. Fear, inadequacies, and all obstacles are conquered … [Read more...]
When Nobody Meets Somebody by Robert Ricciardelli
Reality life is not about becoming a somebody. You are already a somebody who is becoming magnificently ordinary in order to submit your life to a real Somebody. It's about becoming reduced in order to live a maximized life. Somebody then takes a willing nobody and raises them up with all glory going back to Somebody. Somebody then lives with within the nobody and transforms them into the image of Somebody. That Somebody is Jesus, who can take any nobody and make them a somebody for all … [Read more...]
You Have Come a Long Way Baby by Robert Ricciardelli

We all have a long way to go, but with a "thanks be to God," look back over your life and realize how far you've come. The same God that brought you this far is going to carry you through any difficulty you may be facing. The goodness of God rests upon you and is with you for … [Read more...]

You don't need BackTrack. Just setup your AP with wpa2 and and a really long complex password.

Hack Is Wack! Snoop Dogg's Anti Cybercrime Rap Video Contest Sponsored by Norton Symantec - HOME
Hello Backtrack4 community,
So here´s the thing. Last night I watched Youtube, usually I dont care about Hacking and cracking stuff, but my eye catched this Backtrack 4 WEP hacking and I wondered its so easy to brake this thing that every kid in a world could do that. I started to fear that someone may be sniffing around and use my internet. Because there are some people they call themselves hackers back where I live and I know that they might be up to something. So i downloaded this Backtrack4 and couple of videos, went to my friend, he lives nearby, and i tried to hack my connection key. And i failed. I used all these Airmon-ng everything was fine
then i used to make this from wlan0 to mon0
it worked
Then i located my AP that tooked time
I used commands and then i stucked to Aireplay-ng -5 it seems readed packages but didnt find any usable
i tried aireplay-ng -1 and it failed to connect to my AP
i remind you that iam not a pro, I just wanted to secure my own system. And iam really in to it ... I only can judge that iam safe is because attacks failed and it didnt find any usable data packed ... and it would be great if some of you people advice me what to do to secure my computer.
thank you. Victor.

To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Well first of all check the routers page (if you have a router) and see if it has a firewall and if it's enabled, than depending on your OS you can choose an antivirus and a firewall for it.
Another advice in keeping your computer safe is to have the latest updates.
And as Archangel-Amael said put a WPA2 long and complex password and you should be safe ... unless you enter on an untrusted site or open some programs from an "Unknown publisher".

Aerosmith cancels Istanbul concert amid mining disaster
Listen to Aerosmith on iHeartRadio
The mining disaster in Turkey that has claimed hundreds of lives is forcing Aerosmith to alter their tour plans.
The group called off their Wednesday night concert in Istanbul because of the tragedy. Frontman Steven Tyler explains that the rockers wish to respect "the three days of mourning for a saddened nation." He also sends his "heartfelt prayers" to those personally affected by the tragedy.
The other group members echoed Tyler's sentiment with guitarist Joe Perry adding that "words can't express the sorrow that we feel."
While over 200 people have been confirmed dead, Aerosmith is hoping that those miners still trapped will be "saved soon and be safe and sound."
In the coming week, Aerosmith is slated to play shows in Bulgaria and Lithuania.

This beautifully-packaged seven-DVD collection contains every pitch, hit, sterling defensive play, and ear-popping Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome memory along with each glorious Minnesota Twins 1991 World Series championship moment. The collection displays the heroics of Dan Gladden, Gene Larkin, Chuck Knoblauch, Chili Davis and Brian Harper, plus the steadying leadership of Manager Tom Kelly. A special DVD audio feature allows fans to watch the World Series television broadcast and listen to the Twins Radio Network announcers! Yes, it was the greatest World Series and the proof is in the seven games digitally preserved in this DVD trophy.
In more than 100 years of World Series play there have been many that could be considered memorable and a handful that might be classified as unforgettable. But only one can be called the best ever -- and for many the 1991 World Series between the Atlanta Brave and Minnesota Twins was just that.
MAGIC IN MINNESOTA: REMEMBERING THE 1991 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP revels in the mesmerizing masterpiece of Jack Morris' 1-0, 10-inning Game 7 and Kirby Puckett's unbelievable heroics in Game 6. This commemorative DVD, timed to the Twins' 20th Anniversary celebration, salutes the contributions of superstars, support players, and the deafening, intimidating Minnesota Twins fans who electrified the Metrodome like never before and includes extensive game highlights and interviews with two-time World Champions manager Tom Kelly, Kent Hrbek, Gene Larkin, Dan Gladden, and John Gordon. As an exclusive bonus, the DVD also includes footage such as the final outs from from four Twins 1991 ALCS victories plus celebration footage after winning the 1991 American League Pennant; a vintage 1991 Minnesota Twins commercial; the footage of the '91 Twins meeting the President at the White House and Kirby Puckett's Hall of Fame induction speech.
MAGIC IN MINNESOTA is more than just another film about just another championship team. It's about the Twins -- your Twins -- and perhaps the greatest World Series of all time.

The coaches offices are located nearby and are on the top floor of the Mauer Building adjacent to the Anderson Family Varsity Strength and Conditioning Center. The Mauer Building also houses the men's and women's team locker rooms which are located on the bottom floor near the Rider Athletics equipment room.
Rider is currently the only school in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) with an outdoor track & field facility and, as such, hosts the conference championship meet each May.

Mariners' Slide Continues
Mariners manager Eric Wedge quickly walked down the hallway and stepped into his office, where general manager Jack Zduriencik and pitching coach Carl Willis were waiting for him.
It's not unusual for such meetings after games — in fact, it's fairly common — but the three men needed to talk. More to the point, they needed to discuss the future of Brandon Maurer, the 22-year-old pitcher who struggled once again in a 6-1 loss Tuesday to the San Diego Padres.
"It's fair to say we've got a lot to talk about after I get done talking to you guys," Wedge said, cracking a smile.

Ice fishing is hot!
(Put-In-Bay) — The frigid weather across northern Ohio has been good for ice fishing on Lake Erie.
David Hoheisel of IceFishOhio.com says the sport is gaining popularity with the frozen conditions on Lake Erie.
He tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that even in double digit below zero temperatures you will find enthusiasts on the lake trying to catch walleye.
Hoheisel says it's a great sport, but you have to know what you are doing in order to be safe. He maintains first timers should never go out alone, and experts should always have the right gear.
But ice fishing has also been a problem for a big dock reconstruction project on South Bass Island.
Plans to break up the ice between the island and the mainland so that a barge could bring supplies for the project had to be put on hold.
The reason was that there were too many people out ice fishing on the lake. Officials decided that it would be too risky to break up the ice.
The company in charge of the docks project at Put-In-Bay docks says they're now looking at other ways to get the construction supplies to the island.
The nearly $6 million project will replace many of the public docks at Put-In-Bay.

Fox's Wallace Deflects From Study Showing Romney May Raise Middle Class Taxes
After Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod cited a recent report showing that Mitt Romney's tax plan may require tax hikes on the middle class, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace countered with a study he said was by a "nonpartisan respected accounting firm." But he did not note that the study was paid for by business organizations that oppose Obama's policies.
WALLACE: You keep bringing up the Tax Policy Center study, and that's fair enough. But I want to ask you about another study by the respected accounting firm Ernst & Young which did a study on all the tax increases that president Obama is proposing, and here's what they found when they analyzed those. That economic growth with the Obama tax increases would fall by 1.3 percent and employment would fall by 710,000 jobs. Ernst & Young, a nonpartisan respected accounting firm says that raising taxes that much would be a drag on the economy right now.
The study by accounting firm Ernst & Young was "[p]repared on behalf" of the Independent Community Bankers of America, the National Federal of Independent Business, the S Corporation Association, and the United States Chamber of Commerce - groups which have spent [1] millions of dollars to fight President Obama's policies and put Republicans in office. According to the National Economic Council's Jason Furman, the study is also based on flawed assumptions [2].
The Tax Policy Center, on the other hand, is a joint project of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute and is considered so nonpartisan the Romney campaign cited [3] them as an "Objective" group last November when they published a report critical of one of his primary opponents. The right-wing media has tried [4] to discredit [5] the Tax Policy Center. However, The Washington Post's Fact-Checker called [6] the claim that the Center is biased "pretty ridiculous" as the analysis was done by economists that have worked as nonpartisan analysts for Democratic and Republican administrations.
Wallace was implying that the two studies were equivalent in terms of credibility - but they're not.

If you need a friend, get a dog !
the thread reminds me of those sidecontrol.co.uk articles
T.H.U.G ( The honest User guide)
Parts 1 to 4
Packing your Man United football shorts and Ocean Pacific t-shirt into your rucksack; you head off with a twinge of excitement in your belly. Soon you'll be a real cage fighter…
Arriving at your local sports hall; you find a curtained off area at the back. You are three minutes late and casually walk over to where the heavy grunting noises are emanating from. Peering behind the curtain, you see guys standing up with chests against each other, jockeying to get arms under their partners. It's called "pummeling" apparently. Everybody wears tight vale tudo shorts or some kind of shorts with splits on the side and various fight logo's. You are the only one in Man United shorts. You're an idiot and you stand out like a pedophile in a playground.
A slim Brazilian kid around 19 years old introduces himself as Thiago. "Fancy a roll?" he asks. You are puzzled and try to explain that you have just eaten some crisps. He chuckles at your pea-brained understanding and explains that "a roll" is a term for grappling. "Oh sure" you say, pretending you knew and were just kidding.
Thiago immediately pulls guard and you have no clue what the hell he is doing. His right hand cusping your neck and left arm entwined with yours, there is a shuffle of his hips and then a surge of pain in your shoulder. You submit by shouting "Aaahhhh, aah, nng, ooo". Thiago advises that next time you should tap him with your spare hand.
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.
How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies
Anyway good luck Harvey, where are you training?
Welcome to the most humbling experience of your life, but hopefully one of the most inspiring.

Harris speaks where Tillis works at NC Legislature
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) _ U.S. Senate candidate Mark Harris is holding a news conference outside the office where Republican primary rival Thom Tillis works while in Raleigh.
The Charlotte pastor planned Thursday to talk about the partial federal government shutdown and what his campaign called ``the need for real leadership in the White House and Senate.'' The event will occur in front of the Legislative Building, where Tillis is House speaker.
Tillis and Harris are the highest profile candidates so far in a GOP primary that's seven months away. The winner will take on Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan in November 2014.
Both Tillis and Harris have said they want to end or defund the new health care overhaul law, which congressional Republicans have tried to use as a bargaining chip in shutdown negotiations.

text: Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2011 Matthew: Effect or Fable? In a market context, a status effect occurs when actors are accorded differential recognition for their efforts depending on their location in a status ordering, holding constant the quality of these efforts. In practice, because it is very difficult to measure quality, this ceteris paribus proviso often precludes convincing empirical assessments of the magnitude of status effects. We address this problem by examining the impact of a major status-conferring prize that shifts actors' positions in a prestige ordering. Specifically, using a precisely constructed matched sample, we estimate the effect of a scientist becoming a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator (HHMI) on citations to articles the scientist published before the prize was awarded. We do find evidence of a post-appointment citation boost, but the effect is small and limited to a short window of time. Consistent with theories of status, however, the effect of the prize is significantly larger when there is uncertainty about scientist and article quality. Keywords: Risk and Uncertainty; Status and Position; Measurement and Metrics; Quality; Citation:Azoulay, Pierre, Toby E. Stuart, and Yanbo Wang. "Matthew: Effect or Fable?"

Reading Level: Ages 12 & up
This nonfiction book reads like a fast paced spy thriller. Israeli Mossad agents, German and Israeli government officials, and private citizens worked together to abduct Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman and bring him to justice. Eichman, responsible for the deaths of six million Jews, disappeared after the war ended. Then there came a report that he was living in Argentina.
All the elements of a spy novel are here: a dangerous mission, false identities, safe houses, and split second timing, but this is a true, well documented history.

American Fork • Beating the defending state champions and winning the Region 4 title on the same day doesn't mean it's safe to place an order for state championship rings.
But for Riverton, it sure did feel good Wednesday.
Parents posed for pictures holding up their index fingers and there was a noticeable excitement among the players and coaches, but the Silverwolves' 3-2 win over the Cavemen just may have to serve as a practice celebration.
One trophy secured, one more to chase down.
"Having it come down to the very last game and with so much on the line and to see the kids play this well was really satisfying," said Riverton coach Jay Applegate. "We didn't bring it up as coaches, they did. They said this was just the first goal we've set, and we still have a lot of work to do."
Jared Barton went the distance for the Silverwolves, allowing just six hits. He also doubled in a run.
"It was a really good team effort," Barton said. "I just tried to throw strikes and trust my defense. I was able to mix up my speeds and use three different pitches."
Riverton jumped on American Fork starter Riley Otteson for two runs in the first inning, when Jared White doubled in a run and scored on a single by Cam Gust.
American Fork answered with a run in the bottom of the inning when Otteson was hit by a pitch and scored on a double by Zac Willis.
Both pitchers then settled in and took control of the game. The Silverwolves added a run in the fourth compliments of a B.J. Newman single. It proved to be the difference because the Cavemen rallied in the sixth.
Willis singled with two outs and scored on a Sean Hardman triple, but Barton got Brock Lamb to ground out to end the inning.
Barton then retired American Fork in order in the seventh to clinch the outright region title. The loss dropped the Cavemen to third.
"We just didn't do our job offensively like we should have," said American Fork coach Jarod Ingersoll. "Obviously it would have been nice to be the region champs, but there's a bigger prize. Hopefully our team understands that and what we're capable of doing."

Lady Gaga's 'ARTPOP' debuts at number one
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga has earned her second number one album with ARTPOP.
Her latest debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 this week, selling 258-thousand copies in its first week out. Although she clinched the top spot, the numbers are coming in well below some of "Billboard's" earlier projections.
Gaga took to Twitter Wednesday to thanks fans for buying the album. But she also had something to say to her critics, writing that she will "never understand the overflow of hate sent [her] way." She added, "it's more fun to point and laugh than appreciate the artist."
I'm so happy ARTPOP debuted #1 in the US and is already platinum is countries all over the world! thank u

Tonight I'm going to a sold-out MongoDB event hosted by my company at our local startup incubator. Already, 250 have people signed up. That's a pretty good crowd for Durham, NC, but not surprising considering the focus is MongoDB schema design.
Schema design with MongoDB is almost too easy, but if you've been flattening things out into tables for 20 years, it may seem hard. If you create Mongo entities that are a 1:1 port of equivalent items in your RDBMS, you'll be sorely disappointed by MongoDB's performance, consistency, and so on.
[ Also from Andrew C. Oliver: 10 common tasks for MongoDB. | Work smarter, not harder -- download the Developers' Survival Guide from InfoWorld for all the tips and trends programmers need to know. | Keep up with the latest developer news with InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
On the Web, you'll find plenty of negative opinions about the quality of MongoDB. You'll also come across rave reviews and glowing recommendations. I'm willing to bet that the difference between thumbs-up and thumbs-down in 99 percent of those cases is whether the schema was or was not appropriate for a document database.
Identifying documents is the key
If you've used Hibernate or another JPA or OR-Mapping tool, then you're familiar with the concept of a "dependent object" or "composite component."
The classic example is a street address that often consists of two lines, a city, a state or province, and a postal code. In your database table you may just have columns, but because your object-oriented system needs to validate the simple types, you have a type hierarchy and a separate class from your entity. However, entries frequently have more than one or two addresses, so you may one day break that into a separate table.
We don't truly care about duplicates (meaning two people with the same address might result in rows of the same address in the table that differ only in their key) -- we only care that we can add your beach house to your personnel record so that we can find you. For a person, addresses, phone numbers, and IM accounts are all examples of things that do not usually require another document and are embedded in the parent object in MongoDB. In the event a person is deleted, you'd delete the addresses, phone numbers, and IM accounts with them or cascade the delete. You wouldn't have those other items without the parent object.
In addition to cascading deletes, other key signs that your objects belong in the same document are where a foreign key is part of a primary key, most 1:1 relationships, and nearly anywhere that you would never read from a "child" table row without first reading from the "parent" table row. There are exceptions, but this is a good place to start. In short, it probably matches your object model more closely than your average RDBMS schema.

...instead of the default Preview Image?
The preview image is a brilliant idea, no doubt about it, you've got endless height to play with, but take the stuff I'm making for gRiver then it would be pretty awesome if the Preview Image box could hold an FLV video presentation of the product you're selling here.
E.g. My main products (upcoming) focus on speeding up the creative workflow of designers and enhancing the usability for less Photoshop-savvy people who just want a very nice result fast and easy. It's pretty hard to illustrate this in just one picture. (Yeah I could just do a 1, 2, 3, presto image, but what's outstanding about that?).
So my question / suggestion would be to make the preview image container able to include FLV video presentations (say in H.264 format) that either opens directly through pressing play or similar to FlashDen with its "Full Screen" previews.
Uploaders, take a moment to think of how effeciently you could present your products and really show your customers why they should buy your product(s), not to forget how. In any case, with a video presentation you will be able to really show how easy your product is to use in a project, be it web or print.
Envato, I really really hope that you take this idea into consideration as I'm sure of that you could make it possible with some effort. The feature will of course be a great opportunity for me, BUT , I am not a second in doubt of that the majority of GraphicRiver's contributors will enjoy having a great presentational service at their hands. Regarding increasing sales, what customer would not prefer to view an actual video of the product they consider buying than just viewing an image with some text telling them how easy it is to use (*wink, my own presentation, but hey, that's why present this suggestion after all).
That's my 1 dollar.
Keep it rockin' Envato (you're doing an awesome job, well everyone is, contributors and Envato in unison, so standing ovations to everyone here)
Anders "ASH" Schmidt Hansen / Lichine
It's not a bad idea, but if it was to be implemented i think it should've been done before GR released.
Though, to be honest, i personally wouldn't create a promo video for every file i'd upload due to:
1) It's time consuming 2) It's bandwidth consuming – for the marketplaces and also the end-user 3) Adds unnecessary load time to viewing a simple preview, as i already find that occasionally when the Envato sites get busy they get a little slow loading, and i don't think it needs anymore page weight!
Another factor is skills, not everyone is skilled in video production. Therefore possibly giving those who have top skills a better chance at selling their files than someone who is an awesome designer but not that great at video production..
Just my opinion!
Exactly! Bandwidth would obviously be a problem (I guess, I don't know Envato's capacity), but:
- The videos does not necesarily have to be more than 30 seconds (like commercials).
- Skill-wise: fully understandable, but this is (in the end) a marketplace where competition is the daily agenda. Even though this place is a virtual place on the net, the same rules of marketing apply if you want to earn money (which, as far as I know, is the point of these marketplaces).
In other words; it is about survival of the fittest meant in terms of being the keenest in promoting yourself and in presenting your work (your products that you want an income from) in the best and most sellable way. If a designer is good at designing awesome products, but the skills of presentation, how will he become a succesful designer in the "outside" world?
I would take the possibility of having video previews (call them teasers) as another milestone for me to reach in order to become a better designer. And hey that's another plus there; you are given the opportunity of presenting your products better and at the same time you are challenged to be become better at selling your products in a more professional way. Through this, you would become an even better designer in general (take e.g. freelancers with great presentational skills).
If you are not good at video production then (at least from my point of view) you will educate yourself till the point where you say: "Nice, now I can do this too! This is really useful for me as a designer."
Regarding the time consumption: None of us where good at Photoshop or any Adobe product (well, maybe at Reader) in the beginning, but since we didn't want to "suck at Photoshop" we threw ourself into what seemed like endless tutorials and training videos etc. etc. in order to become better designers. So with that in mind, if you lack the skills of presentation (it may only take time) then you should be aware of that those who want to become good at video production / other ways of better presentation will be the ones to put you in the shade eventually. Finally, you have probably accepted the "way" of the designer as of being a person who always should become better at his skills like any artist in order to be noticed and acknowledged by the market. So if your true intention is to be a succesful designer then you also accept the consumption of time to become better.
"You" as in "Every designer aspiring to become succesful some day".
But back to your opinion, it's great! It's important that we get all perspectives of this idea so keep 'em coming.
So to sum up:
Opportunity of video presenting your products at GraphicRiver:
1. Increased probability of selling your products because of better presentation.
2. Increased customer service. (Customer's insight of the product is enhanced) (Note: A succesful marketplace lives through its customers)
3. Does not have to be long and exhausting (viewer and bandwidth-wise). Think: short and "down to the point" teasers.
4. Contributor's / Author's chance of standing out stronger than his / her competitors is increased.
5. Based on the challenge of video presentations, training yourself to become better at it could most likely make you a better designer in general.
1a. Videos may become a bandwidth hog. (See "3." though)
Question: How large would an average, decent quality H.264 or FLV be in size if it does not exceed 30 seconds? What about 20 seconds?
2a. The customer might not bother watching a teaser. (See "3." again)
Question: How many customers do we know who would not prefer a real demonstration of the product first before buying it?
3a. If the Author is not good at video production he / she might be left in the dark by those better at that particular skill. (See "5.")
Question: Does the market have any interest in buying a product that is good, but is badly presented? Furthermore, how many customers buy a product in sympathy of the designer because it's unfair that other designers present themselves better?
I might have forgotten something, sorry. Let's keep the discussion going! : D
Greatly sorry for double-posting (the first and last time, I promise!)
Just wanted to add a note:
As stated, video presentations would in the end just be a convenient and optional choice for the Author to choose from. You don't NEED to make a video presentation, some products do not necesarily need one, but a broader array of possibilities breeds more flexibility for authors in my opinion.
As I haven`t seen any videos on GR previews, I guess nothing has changed on this subject, or i`m wrong?
A bit of an old topic to revive bud.
But that's right. You're still not able to embed videos on GraphicRiver. You're able to take a screenshot of your Youtube video (or your desired player), and link to the video using that method though

The paths one can take after architecture school are manifold, but what happens when an architect changes focus mid-career? For Frank Mobilio, AIA, LEED AP, shifting gears has meant becoming far more effective at promoting sustainability, primarily through green leasing projects, than he was behind the drafting table. Formerly a senior associate at HOK, Mobilio is now the associate director and vice president in the project and development services (PDS) group of Jones Lang LaSalle's (JLL) Washington, D.C., office, where he also serves as the sustainability market leader.
I worked on my first sustainable project with HOK in the '90s. I was the project manager for interiors for the Nature Conservancy headquarters. At that time, the emphasis was not as much on energy saving and performance as it was on materials selection and indoor air quality. That project was where I first met my colleagues with the Staubach Co., which eventually merged with JLL in 2008. In 2002, I was home sick with the flu and, thanks to bad cable and cold medicine, I was able to study for the LEED exam. I was one of the first officers in HOK to become a LEED-accredited professional.
In 2003, which was a watershed year for me personally, one of my clients asked me to be his owners' representative for ongoing work. At the same time, I became president of my local community association, which was a great way to build organizational skills, and I began to focus more on the bigger picture of sustainability. I found that strategizing on projects was very intellectually engaging to me. One of my colleagues said to me, "The way you get things built is with your telephone." So I thought, "Let's go with this." Not long afterward, I had the opportunity to join Staubach.
As a sustainability market leader for JLL's PDS Mid-Atlantic region, I work with our real estate brokers and building managers up front to assess potential locations, work through budgetary issues, and help define their sustainability goals as well as manage LEED EB [LEED for Existing Buildings] certification projects. I have written on green leasing, which is about how the owner and the tenant work through the ongoing changes in sustainability during the lease term, as well as how potential split incentives on energy savings and costs are addressed. These factors are important in both the construction of a tenant space as well as in the space's operation.
I find it fascinating that I have been able to do more sustainable work on this side of the table than as an architect. I can speak about sustainability in terms that are understood in the boardroom, at the design table, and in the field. I think that really brings a level of comfort to decision makers. Sustainability is an area of growth, and my goal is to continue on this path. Will I ever retire? Probably not. I believe that when you stop learning you die. So I want to keep learning. —As told to Kim A. O'Connell

Work Retreats at the Retreat Center
Upcoming work retreat openings
What is a work retreat?
Work retreats help us bring meditation practice into whatever we engage in outside of the meditation hall.
A work retreat at IMS involves five hours of silent work-as-practice activities each day. During this time, participants are encouraged to relate with similar openness to arising events, relationships, thoughts and feelings as they do during sitting and walking meditation. The deepening of this presence of mind throughout all the activities of daily life is just as important as the process undertaken in formal sitting and walking practice.
There is much to be done at IMS. We depend on work retreatants to help us operate, particularly in our Housekeeping and Kitchen departments.
Participation is limited to experienced IMS meditators (minimum of one prior 7-day retreat at IMS) and requires a high degree of self-reliance. Since the work can be physically demanding, a moderate level of physical fitness is required.
A work retreat is residential. No nightly rate applies – all that is required is a non-refundable $35 application processing fee.
While at IMS, all work retreatants observe five ethical guidelines or training precepts. This is essential for creating a safe retreat environment that supports the cultivation of awareness and kindness.
Please refrain from:
- harming any living being
- taking what is not freely given
- sexual activity
- lying, gossiping or using harsh language
- the use of intoxicants
Silence plays a vital role in the development of mindfulness. Work retreatants maintain noble silence except for necessary communications with a work supervisor and course teachers. They do not otherwise interact with staff members or other course participants.
Program availability
We accept two work retreatants at a time, scheduled to correspond with the majority of Retreat Center courses. Work retreats for weekend courses, however, are mostly not available. Work retreatants are welcome to arrive a day before a course begins, space permitting. If you would like to extend your retreat time in this way, talk to us about arriving early. Arrival or departure during retreats is not possible.
Our Registration department arranges all Retreat Center work retreats and participation is on an application basis – see the Application Process section below.
Work retreatants maintain a full daily schedule of formal meditation and work-as-practice. Work times can often be adjusted to suit your individual needs within the needs of the IMS department.
A typical daily schedule might look like this:
5:00 am – Wake up
5:30–6:30 am – Meditation practice
.... 6:30 am – Breakfast .....
7:30–9:15 am – Meditation practice
9:15 am–12:00 noon – Work practice
..... 12:00 noon – Lunch .....
2:00–3:15 pm – Meditation practice
3:15–5:30 pm – Work practice
..... 5:30 pm – Light Dinner .....
6:15–7:15 pm – Meditation practice
7:15–8:15 pm – Dharma talk or recording
8:15–9:30 pm – Meditation practice
Participants can arrange for a more substantial evening meal, if needed, to help support physical work. Anyone here for up to two weeks may take one full day each week without work duties, to take full advantage of formal practice. Those here for longer periods may take three full retreat days every two weeks, to be scheduled with the work supervisor.
Teacher guidance
During teacher-led courses, work retreatants join other participants in opportunities to discuss meditation practice with the teachers. In between these retreats, the IMS Resident Teacher may meet with work retreatants, depending on the length of stay.
Program rates
Work retreats are offered without a daily fee and require a non-refundable processing fee of just $35. This amount will be deposited or charged only when an application is confirmed. If you cancel your retreat, your fee will support our scholarship funds.
Application process
Familiarity with meditation practice and the IMS retreat environment is particularly important. Applicants must have sat at least one 7-day IMS retreat, although we will occasionally consider anyone who has sat insight meditation retreats elsewhere.
To apply for a work retreat, please complete both an application form and questionnaire.

When Josh Rivers, a senior from River Rouge, graduates from Saginaw Valley State University, he plans to attend medical school. But before he spends next semester in Korea, he shared with some prospective students what his SVSU experiences have been like. Here's what he had to say:
SV: Have you been involved in any research?
Rivers: I was involved with carcinoma (cancer) research with Dr. Bing Yang, professor of biology, but as my application cycle for medical school approached, I had to postpone my participation in this research and focus more on my application.
SV: How are you preparing for medical school?
Rivers: Currently I am preparing to take the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test). I spend 20 plus hours a week studying for this, on top of my normal class schedule. I've also shadowed physicians, observed heart surgeries and minor operations. The most important thing for a pre-med student to know is that it's not just about how well you build your application, it's about what you learn from your experiences and how you use this knowledge to become a better doctor in the future.
SV: Do you live on campus?
Rivers: Yes, this is my 4th year living on campus and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Living on campus really allowed me to really get a taste of campus life and because of this, SVSU has been my home for almost four years.
SV: Have you been involved in any clubs or organizations?
Rivers: This year I've been vice president of the Pine Grove Community Council, a member of the Health Professions Association, a mentor for the Minority Student Services: Making Students Successful program, and a mentor for Living Leadership. In the past three years I've been here I've participated in faculty led study abroad trips to South Africa, gone to the Dominican Republic for a medical trip, participated in Louisiana Hurricane Relief during spring break, been a participant and site leader for alternative breaks, participated in Residence Hall Association, been the security chair for the Great Lakes Affiliates of College and University Residence Halls (GLACURH), attended MORAH and GLACURH conferences, LCNC vice president and president, and a team captain for Relay For Life. The possibilities are limitless at SVSU.
SV: If there is one thing you could share with a prospective student about why they should consider SVSU, what is it?
Rivers: SVSU's campus life is the best aspect about this university. The organizations and clubs accept you into their family/network, and make you feel right at home. SVSU is a relatively small university and I believe that in order to maximize your college experience, you need to experience everything taht this university has to ffer.
I feel that it is the responsibility of every student to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible; that's exactly what I'm doing. By getting involved with all the things I like to do, and want to do, I can maximize my experiences; allowing me to get a taste of every nook and corner of this campus.
With this being said, I feel that the world has more to offer than just SVSU. I want to travel to places that I've never been and enjoy opportunities from experiences that I would otherwise never encounter. I've chosen to go to Korea for this very reason. The other side of the globe is another society of people with entirely different views and beliefs. These views and beliefs may very well affect my life in drastic ways. Why pass up the chance to experience something so unique?
I am honored and privileged to be not only a student at SVSU, but also an ambassador, a researcher, a friend, and a leader.

Theater review by Adam Feldman. Choir Boy. Manhattan Theatre Club (see Off Broadway). By Tarell Alvin McCraney. Directed by Trip Cullman. With Jeremy Pope, Chuck Cooper, Austin Pendleton. Running time:1hr 35mins. No intermission.
Choir Boy: plot summary
Red-hot scribe Tarell Alvin McCraney (The Brother/Sister Plays) sets his latest piece in an all-black, all-male prep school, where an effeminate student is driven to make his choir the best.
Choir Boy: theater review
Disharmony has crept into the vaunted school choir that is the pride (and fund-raising glory) of the all-black Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys. The students' voices still blend gorgeously into songs of religious praise, but trouble is mounting offstage. The choir lead is a markedly girly senior named Pharus (the remarkable Pope), and his stained-glass closet is showing cracks; when he performs the school hymn, "Trust and Obey," at a school ceremony, he is taunted with homophobic slurs. But Pharus is not just a quiet victim; emboldened by his own talent and perhaps by the changing times, he's ambitious and sassy, and not above getting back at the peers who have slighted him.
Tarell Alvin McCraney's sensitive and moving Choir Boy adeptly captures the gradations of comfort in Pharus's relationships with those around him, as well as the tensions (between tradition and modernity, discipline and individuation, acceptance and resistance) in their background. Well directed by Trip Cullman, the five talented younger cast members deliver McCraney's flavorful, often lyrical dialogue with assurance, supported by two older pros: Chuck Cooper as the school's headmaster, and the masterfully blowsy Austin Pendleton as a provocative guest teacher.
Like Richard Greenberg's 2002 Take Me Out—with which it has much in common, including fraught locker-room scenes—Choir Boy explores themes of identity and escape, but with music in baseball's place. Choral singing gives the conflicted Pharus a route to flee his drama, as Negro spirituals once gave succor to African-Americans in bondage: "What they were and are is sweet honey in the rock that didn't just help the slaves but help us now, this day," he argues in class. (McCraney obliquely suggests a continuity of function between those songs and modern R&B.) Pharus jokes that he is saving himself for Jesus, and is ashamed to be aroused by a bout of horseplay with his understanding jock roommate (Grantham Coleman). He finds his faith in music: Unable to get his too-solid flesh to melt, he hopes that it may sublimate into a breath of song.—Adam Feldman

CITY OF COMMERCE, Calif. — 99 Cents Only has leased 40 new compressed natural gas-powered tractors from Ryder.
The new CNG trucks will operate exclusively in the Southern California market, making store deliveries and picking up goods from vendors. As part of its full-service lease, Ryder will provide both the CNG tractors, as well as maintenance for the vehicles. The chain said the tractors will replace its oldest diesel burning units with cleaner CNG rigs, making it one of the largest private Class-8 CNG fleets in Southern California.
"We are pleased to announce that we not only plan to continue offering our valued customers the best selection of products at the lowest possible prices, but have also made a commitment to our community and global environment by converting a significant portion of our delivery trucks to compressed natural gas," 99 Cents Only CEO Eric Schiffer said. "We expect to reduce the carbon footprint of the fleet and its CO2 emissions by up to 25%. This will positively impact both our customers and the communities our stores serve."

Kvistad Selected to Head GSA's Northwest/Arctic Region
October 23, 2001
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - Administrator Stephen A. Perry of the U.S. General Services Administration today announced his appointment of Oregon native Jon Kvistad, former chairman of the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation, as the Regional Administrator for GSA's Northwest/Arctic Region. His appointment is effective October 22, 2001.
"Jon's background in management, coupled with his extensive experience in local and regional government, reflects the excellent caliber of appointees that President Bush has attracted to work in his administration," Mr. Perry said. "Jon is a fifth-generation Oregonian with an in-depth knowledge of regional issues and he is the perfect choice to lead our 550 associates in the region," Mr. Perry said.
As the leading executive in the region, Mr. Kvistad will direct regional operations in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Headquartered in Auburn, WA, GSA's Northwest/Arctic Region has a real estate portfolio that includes 408 leased and 142 government-owned buildings.
Mr. Kvistad, a businessman who won the Republican nomination for Oregon State Treasurer in 2000, is the only Republican on the seven-member Metro Regional Government Council, where he served three terms as Presiding Officer, the longest-serving in that office in Metro history. The council represents half the state's population and Mr. Kvistad is Metro's expert and leader in the areas of transportation and land use policy. He is also a past chairman of the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation, the federal metropolitan planning organization for the metro region.
"It is truly an honor to have been selected by President Bush at this difficult time," Mr. Kvistad said. "I'm looking forward to working with this administration and with Administrator Perry as an opportunity to serve both my president and my community."
Mr. Kvistad is a graduate of Oregon State University and currently resides in Tigard, where he is a member of St. Matthew Lutheran Church.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property agency in Washington, D.C., that provides office space, supplies and services for the federal government. The agency, created in 1949 to increase government efficiency operates and manages 1,800 government-owned buildings and 6,500 leased buildings. It provides workspace for more than one million federal employees in more than 1,600 American communities.

Brown Issues Statement on Court Decision to Overturn Ban on Body Armor
Statement from Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. on the Second Appellate District Court of Appeal's decision to overturn California's ban on violent felons possessing body armor:
"Every day, California's law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect our communities,' said Attorney General Brown. 'Allowing violent felons to possess military grade body armor puts their lives further at risk and jeopardizes public safety. My office will petition the California Supreme Court to review the appeals court decision next month.'

Josh Freeman wanted to choose his new team by the end of the weekend, and he has done just that. As first reported by Pro Football Talk, Freeman is signing a one-year deal with the Vikings. This report was confirmed shortly thereafter on Twitter by Freeman's agent. Freeman was released by the Buccaneers on Thursday.
Fantasy Analysis:
Freeman joins Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder on Minnesota's roster. Considering the quality of the competition and his $3 million contract, he has a realistic chance of starting at some point this season, but who knows when? Ponder is out of action right now due to a serious rib injury, so Cassel will most likely start in Week 6 versus Carolina. Freeman can be added in two-QB leagues, but he doesn't offer a massive upgrade over Ponder or Cassel. The Vikings haven't solved their quarterback problem; maybe they have now added to it.

A breast
A breast MRI may be done in combination with
MRI - breast; Magnetic resonance imaging - breast
You lie on your stomach with your breasts hanging down into cushioned openings. The narrow table slides into the MRI scanner, which is shaped like a tunnel.
You may be asked to wear a hospital gown or clothing without metal fasteners (such as sweatpants and a T-shirt). Certain types of metal can cause blurry images.
Some exams require a special dye (contrast). The dye is usually given before the test through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.
During the MRI, the person who operates the machine watches you from another room. The test most often lasts 30 to 60 minutes. It may take longer.
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan.
Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you relax and feel less anxious. Or your doctor may suggest an open MRI, in which the machine is not as close to the body.
Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:
Because the MRI contains strong magnets, metal objects are not allowed into the room with the MRI scanner:
An MRI exam causes no pain. If you have difficulty lying still or are very nervous, you may receive medicine to relax you. Too much movement can blur MRI images and cause errors.
The table may be hard or cold. You can ask for a blanket or pillow to stay comfortable. The machine produces loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You will likely be given ear plugs to help reduce the noise.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones that you can use to pass the time.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax. After an MRI scan, you can resume your normal diet, activity, and medications.
MRI provides detailed pictures of the breast. It also provides clear pictures of parts of the breast that are difficult to see clearly on an ultrasound or mammogram.
Breast MRI may also be performed to:
An MRI of the breast can also show:
Abnormal results may be due to:
Consult your health care provider with any questions and concerns.
MRI contains no radiation. To date, no side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.
The most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions to the substance rarely occur. Gadolinium can be harmful to patients with kidney problems who require dialysis. If you have kidney problems, tell your health care provider before the test.
The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can make heart pacemakers and other implants not work as well. It can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift.
Breast MRI is more sensitive than mammogram, especially when it is performed using contrast dye. However, breast MRI may not always be able to distinguish breast cancer from noncancerous breast growths. This can lead to a false positive result.
MRI also cannot pick up tiny pieces of calcium (microcalcifications), which mammogram can detect.
A biopsy is needed to confirm the results of a breast MRI.

In climate debate, Obama faces a Congress heavily invested in the oil and gas industry
December 7, 2015 | Back in Washington after a trip last week to the global climate change conference in Paris, President Barack Obama will soon find two new bills on his desk, both aimed at sinking his administration's initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. The president isn't expected to sign them. But the message from the Republican-majority Congress is unmistakable: When…
Capital Eye Opener, Feb. 27: Lobbyists Worry About SCOTUS Case, Club for Growth Ranks Congress
February 27, 2013 | Who's really sweating the McCutcheon case before the Supreme Court? Ask around on K Street. Also, tis the season for scorecards, and the Club for Growth's is out.
Congressmen Maintain Massive Portfolio of Oil and Gas Investments
August 27, 2010 | Own stocks in oil or gas companies? If you're a member of Congress, the odds are about one-in-five that the answer is yes. Oil and gas industry holdings are some of the most popular investments among lawmakers and their spouses, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Tea Party Caucus Members Bankrolled by Health Professionals, Retirees, Oil Interests
July 30, 2010 | A Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows that the biggest contributors to the 49 members of the newly-established congressional Tea Party caucus -- it so far includes only Republican -- are health professionals, retired individuals, the real estate industry and oil and gas interests. Furthermore, donations from health professionals, oil and gas interests and Republican and conservative groups are, on average, higher for Tea Party caucus members than for members of the House of Representatives in general and even their fellow House Republicans.
Campaigns of Few House Incumbents Fueled by the 'Small Donors'
May 18, 2010 | Reps. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) don't agree on health care reform. They don't agree on energy legislation, nor do they agree on immigration. Politically, they may not agree on much at all. However, they do share one distinction. Both have received nearly two-thirds of their campaign contributions from donors who contribute $200 or less, the Federal Election Commission's threshold for itemized disclosure. By comparison, the average House member only received 7 percent of their contributions from such "small donors."
Capital Eye Opener: Wednesday, October 21
October 21, 2009 | MCCAIN-FEINGOLD? ZZZZZZZ. We've been waiting for weeks for an outcome to Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which could very well change the nature of federal campaign finance laws as we know them. Nothing yet. But it's given us time to ponder why federal legislation always has such b-o-r-i-n-g names. (Shays-Meehan? Sounds like some sort of chronic thyroid condition.) Congress, let's get creative.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Pale Green
April 18, 2008 | When environmentalists, lobbyists and eco-friendly citizens come a-knockin' on lawmakers' office doors on Earth Day next week, Democrats (and some Republicans) will detail their legislation that directs taxes collected from the oil and gas industry towards renewable energy initiatives. What they probably won't mention is that lawmakers themselves aren't taking a risk on them with their own money.
