Rented a 2014 Goldwing to ride the PCH in May 2017. Weather started out a little chilly the first day, but warmed up nicely after that. I stayed in a Hostel on Hollywood Blvd. and the next morning ride south to San Diego for 1 nite. To save time going down I used the Interstate, which the Goldwing was well suited for except for lane splitting which I had to try a few times, just to say I did it! A little nervy the first couple of times, but was surprised at almost every bike passing me was doing quite well at it. Locals I'm sure! I rode south the next morning to a town which seemed about 90% Hispanic, and very Mexican like. Stopped in the local grocery and picked a number of treats you don't find, even in Fla. Around 1:00 I decided to head back to L A, using the coastal route. I little tricky following the route through some of these small towns, but a beautiful ride nonetheless! Oceanside was the at the top of the list of coastal towns. Small and quaint, with a charm all it's own. I stopped at a waterfront Marina/Restaurant, that proved to be a treasure. Had a deliscious bowl of clam chowder and sandwich from a rooftop view of the Ocean and Lighthouse! Following the coast I rode in and out of small towns, until I came up on Santa Monica Pier! Had to stop as it was jam packed and I had to be in the middle of it. Great thing about being on a bike, parking is a cinch. Had a great time and a corn dog there, and left to head back to the Hostel, which was a bargain at $33/nite right in the middle of Hollywood Blvd. After parking the bike, I learned Johnny Depp was there promoting his latest Pirates of the Carribean movie right on H'wood Blvd. practically in front of the Hostel, but I was 30 min. too late! The next day I headed north to the PCH, hoping to make it to Big Sur, only to learn that due to mudslides, the Highway was closed indefinitely. I traveled along the coast to Oxnard, had lunch and rode back for a stop at Malibu Beach. They were having a Guitar Festival, so it was quite crowded, and reduced my chances of a celeb sighting, so after a brief stop there I headed back to H'wood! Next day was spent on Rodeo Dr., and Beverly Hills, where they were having an Art & Wine Fest., so I had to stop and imbibe! After some walking & sipping I rode up to an address I found for Jay Leno in a nearby Canyon of homes. To my surprise I found it, but of course it was well gated, so back to H'wood for a little souvenir shopping on my last night. Transportation to and from Eaglerider was convenient by bus, and Eaglerider reimburses you for cab/Uber fare from the airport to their shop. The rental process was easy & painless, and very professional, and they will hold you luggage at the shop while you ride! Also stopped at San Diego Eaglerider, who were very friendly and professional, and gave me a nice length of rope to secure my luggage. Kudos to both L A & San Diego Eaglerider for a most enjoyable ride! Jerry H.
I rent the 2015 Sreer Glide from Palm Springs on a regular basis and love it!! Rides have been shower and multiple day trips. Don't forget this is s motorcycle so to expect lots of storage is silly. If you need more storage do as I did and buy luggage made to go on the sissy bar. I regularly camp off this bike and have no issues with storage. If I need more storage I'll just rent something with more storage. As for the ride, I like it, very comfortable for long distances. If you are over 6 ft though you will get some head buffeting because the windshield is only the 4 1/2 inch. Overall I recommend this bike and the service you will get renting it..

ILCC Wrestling Will Host Regionals In Spencer
Thu 2-13-2014
Iowa Lakes Wrestling Hosts Regional Competition in Spencer this Sunday
Several nationally ranked wrestlers will be in Spencer this weekend for the NJCAA North Central regional competition hosted by Iowa Lakes Community College.
The Spencer High School Fieldhouse will be the venue for the event which will feature five Iowa community colleges as well as five Minnesota community colleges.
"The event starts at 10 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 16," said Cody Alesch, head wrestling coach at Iowa Lakes. "Six of the 10 teams are ranked in the top 15 nationally. Plus, 30 individuals are nationally ranked."
Alesch thanked the Spencer schools for their assistance.
"The Administrative team in Spencer has been great to work with and the Spencer High School Fieldhouse provides us with a great venue to put down three mats as well as provide plenty of room for fans," Alesch said.
An estimated 85 wrestlers will be competing for a chance to advance to the National Tournament Feb. 28 and March 1 in Spokane, Wash.
"The top five at each weight class will earn automatic bids to the National Tournament making for a great day of competition," he said.
"We encourage everyone to attend as it is a great opportunity for wrestling enthusiasts to see a lot of college wrestling typically not available to see in our area. And, we'd appreciate a nice crowd to cheer on the 'home' team Lakers," Alesch added.
In addition to Iowa Lakes, colleges which will bring wrestlers to Spencer include: Iowa Central, Iowa Western, Ellsworth, NIACC, Minnesota West, Rochester Community College, Ridgewater Community College, Itasca Community College and Northland Community College. Admission for the day-long event is $6 for adults and $4 for students 18 and under as well as Senior Citizens. Iowa Lakes students will be admitted free with a student ID.

The former Florida forward has impressed NBA scouts with his ability to stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting skills.
Name: Erik Murphy
Position: Power forward
Height: 6-foot-10
Weight: 240 lbs.
Projected round: Second
Murphy led the Southeastern Conference in 3-point field goal percentage as a senior (45.3 percent, 72 of 159). He finished his senior season averaging 12.2 points and 5.5 rebounds with 25 blocked shots. Part of three Elite Eight teams in four seasons. A two-year starter with 67 career starts, Murphy has recorded three career double-doubles, including a 27-point, 12-rebound performance against LSU in the quarterfinals of the 2013 SEC Tournament. He went a perfect 10-for-10 from the floor in UF's 74-56 win over Wisconsin at the O'Connell Center last November.
WORKOUT NUMBERS Made 13 of 15 3-pointers during one impressive stretch in front of several NBA scouts at a pre-draft combine in Las Vegas. Wingspan measured 6-foot-10.5 inches at a NBA pre-draft combine in Chicago. Other NBA combine numbers included a max vertical leap of 29.5 inches, a time of 3.57 seconds in the three-quarter court sprint and 13 reps of 185 pounds on the bench press. STRENGTHS Exceptional perimeter shooter who is adept at stepping out and knocking down 3-pointers in a pick-and-roll offense. Also displayed a soft touch around the basket and the ability to post up during his senior season. High basketball IQ with strong athletic bloodlines — father, Jay, played four seasons in the NBA (Los Angeles Clippers, Washington Bullets), while younger brother Alex is a redshirt sophomore forward at Duke. WEAKNESSES Has added some strength throughout his UF career, but needs to continue to get stronger to bang with physical power forwards in the NBA. Below-average lateral quickness, which compromises his defensive ability on the perimeter. Started his career as an adept passer, but regressed in that area in four years. His assist-to-turnover ratio as a senior was 50 to 51. Also needs to improve his rebounding. His projected 6.2 defensive rebounds per 40 minutes is considered below average for an NBA big man. WHAT THEY'RE SAYING "Stretch-fours (power forwards) are in vogue. He had a great workout in Vegas in front of a bunch of NBA teams. I was there. He shot the lights out. And he had a skill that translates. There's lots of things that Erik Murphy doesn't do well, but that one thing that he really does well, he really can shoot the basketball and you can see teams using him as a stretch-four that spots in the corners and just nails those corner 3s. He's going to be able to do that at the next level." — Chad Ford, ESPN NBA draft analyst. "He shot the ball incredibly well at the combine. You're talking about one of the best shooters in the country, let alone the best shooting big man. I think he's got even more upside than (former Gator and current San Antonio Spurs 3-point shooting specialist) Matt Bonner. He can be as mobile and as effective. Defensively, he's got to be able to show he can defend against bigger guys. He's going to have to gain experience going up against bigger, stronger power forwards." — Ryan Blake, NBA director of scouting. "Murphy's potential as a shooting specialist stretch-four should give him ample opportunities to hear his name called on draft night and/or find a home in the NBA, but given there isn't anything else he does at an above average level from an NBA perspective, he will likely need a little luck to find that niche. His steady improvement in college, the work he put in developing his body off the court, and his solid basketball IQ are all things that should help him, but maximizing his abilities as a defender and rebounder would definitely improve his chances at having a long career." — Joe Treutlein, Draftexpress.com

I am doing an online into to C++ programming class. I know I'm on the right track (ie, using the right tools) but the book I have is the wrong one and it's no help. This is the assignment:
"Create a class Rectangle. The class has private attributes length and width, each of which defaults to 1. It has member functions that calculate the perimeter and the area of the rectangle. It has set and get functions for both length and width.
The set functions (i.e. setLength() and setWidth()) should verify that length and width are larger than 0.0 and less than 20.0. If the parameter does not satisfy, use default value = 1.0
The get functions (i.e. getLength() and getWidth() ) should return the value of the attributes.
The constructor should use the set functions to initialize the attributes.
The following is main function you should use. The main idea is that, given three rectangles a, b and c, output their lengths, widths, perimeters and areas. Include header files when necessary."
I thought I knew how to do it, but for some reason I'm stumbling on... something. I just don't know what's going wrong, and I know it must be really basic. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what to look up in a tutorial so I can fix what's wrong, you know?
Code://this is my coding #include <iostream> using namespace std; class rectangle { private: int width, height; public: rectangle (); rectangle (int,int); int area (void) {return (x*y); int perimeter (void) {return (x*2 + y*2);} }; rectangle::rectangle () //a tutorial online said that's how you set defaults { x = 1; y = 1; } rectangle::rectangle (int x, int y) //derived from notes { width = x; height = y; } //this is what was given int main() { Rectangle a, b(4.0,5.0), c(67.0, 888.0); cout<< setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint); cout<<setprecision(1); cout<<"a: length = " << a.getLength() << "; width = " << a.getWidth() << "area = " << a.area() <<'\n'; cout<< "b: length = " << b.getLength() << "; width = " << b.getWidth() << "; perimeter = " << b.perimeter() << "; area = " << b.area() << '\n'; cout << "c: length = " << c.getLenght() << "; width = " << c.getWidth() << "; perimeter =" << c.perimeter() << "; area = " << c.area() << endl; return 0; } //my coding again int setWidth() //because it is based on a, b, and c, it is blank, right? { if ((x < 0.0) || (x > 20.0)) { x = 1.0; } Return x; } //have to use X and Y because Width and Height are private, right? int setHeight() { if ((y < 0.0) || (y > 20.0)) { y = 1.0; } return y; }
When I compile, I get three errors:
"error C2535: '__thiscall rectangle::rectangle(void)' : member function already defined or declared"
(that one I get twice)
"fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe."
This is of course due tonight (asking online was my last resort after trying to make it work on my own) and if someone can just tell me where I'm going wrong and how I should be doing it instead I'd appriciate it.

It has been a busy year in mobile. 2012 was the year that saw Android establish a clear lead by closing in on a 75 percent share of the smartphone market. Samsung and Apple topped the manufacturer charts and duked it out in the courtroom. Microsoft hoped it would be third time lucky with Windows Phone 8. Tablets got smaller, smartphones got bigger, and the market for both just kept on growing.
On the verge of 2013, it's time to cast your eyes forward and take a look at the year ahead. What are the big trends going to be? Who will be making major moves in mobile? We think it's still a bit too early for widespread adoption of wearable tech or flexible displays, and it's a bit too late to herald the arrival of mobile payments even if they haven't really caught on yet, but there's still plenty to get excited about.
BlackBerry 10 launch
It's no secret that RIM has had a tough year. The eulogies have been rolling in thick and fast, but under new CEO, Thorsten Heins, the company has been quietly working away on BlackBerry 10. The new platform has been described as RIM's last roll of the dice and it might well be. Market share has been dwindling for a while now, but RIM also just announced its first ever drop in worldwide subscribers as 1 million people abandoned the platform, taking its total down to 79 million subscribers.
Various carriers around the world have already announced that they will be offering new BB 10 devices. The launch event has been scheduled for January 30. Early demos and leaks have been promising and RIM's traditional base in the enterprise is already road-testing the new platform. It hasn't rushed to market this time and BB 10 has real potential. If the platform can claw back some market share from Android, or even iOS, then it will be the comeback story of the year.
Augmented reality
It has been around for a while now, but 2013 could be the year when augmented reality apps and games really take off. More and more people have capable smartphones and tablets, advertisers are clamoring to deploy AR in marketing, and wearable tech could prove to be the catalyst that spurs AR onward. Juniper Research is predicting that AR will generate $300 million in 2013 as it builds momentum towards 2.5 billion annual app and game downloads within five years.
Platforms like Metaio are offering an AR platform that brands can easily adopt and they report strong growth, however, it could be another year or two before AR is truly widespread. The ascent starts in 2013, but it won't reach its zenith for a few years yet.
Cloud apps and services
The cloud has been generating a deafening buzz as it is held up as a panacea for the business world. Thanks to a perfect storm of enabling factors, it will also be having a great impact on the consumer world in 2013. The expansion of 4G LTE networks, improvements in Wi-Fi technology and hotspot availability, and lightweight demands in terms of installation and storage overhead, should drive cloud-connected apps and services in the coming year.
Expect to see Sony's acquisition of Gaikai bear fruit in terms of mobile gaming as high-end releases come to smartphones. We'll also see more people relying on service like Google Music to store and stream content. Syncing across devices is another important development that makes life easier – you read, watch, or play something on your tablet in the morning, pick it up on your smartphone as you commute, and finish it off on your computer when you reach work. The local device is just an entry point for content that we expect to be available and synced across the board.
Web adapts to mobile
In 2013 smartphones and tablets will surpass PCs to become the most commonly used devices for accessing the Internet. The impact of mobile on the Internet can already be seen. Most major websites now have a dedicated mobile version; some are being simplified overall with mobile screens as a primary concern. Mobile apps are still a vitally important link between devices and the web and we don't think the much-vaunted HTML5 is in a position to usurp traditional apps with web apps for a good while yet.
Content curation and easy navigation are becoming more and more important for a web that focusses on the needs of mobile users first.
Real smartphone competition
If you thought 2012 was a competitive year in mobile you ain't seen nothin' yet. As smartphones reach saturation point in certain markets like the U.S., we're going to see companies battle each other harder than ever before. When the market stops growing, market share becomes more meaningful.
Android and iOS could have some real competition in the shape of Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry 10. Analysts have been predicting an increased market share for Microsoft for years now, in 2013 we'll find out for sure. We've also got a flurry of new devices to look forward to from the Samsung Galaxy S4 to the iPhone 5S. We may even see the long rumored Amazon smartphone or a WP8 device from Microsoft. HTC, LG, and Sony have all made noises about claiming third place behind Samsung and Apple. Game on!
An end to the patent madness
We are hopeful that the patent wars might be settled once and for all in 2013. Various judges have expressed a desire to end the steady stream of patent infringement lawsuits pouring into their courtrooms. Definitive decisions on fair licensing terms look closer than ever, most of the Android manufacturers have signed agreements, and the ongoing fight is not enhancing reputations with consumers. Much depends on Apple's willingness to settle.
If 2012 was the year of the patent wars, then we have our fingers crossed that 2013 will see a lasting peace and the big tech players can get back to focusing on making us irresistible gadgets. We wouldn't advise your holding breath for this, though.
Tablets, tablets everywhere
We'll see more tablets, we'll see prices drop further, and we'll see sales rocket in 2013 as tablets usurp smartphones, becoming the fastest selling tech devices. As smartphones grow and tablets shrink we may see more of a blurring of the line between the two, something that "phablets" like the Galaxy Note 2 and Droid DNA are already out.
We'll also see the BYOD trend continue to grow and tablets will become increasingly common in the workplace and in education. We can expect that trend to fuel a developer drive toward apps and services for the enterprise and education sector. There's plenty of room for improvement.
More mobile predictions for 2013
We think quite a few other mobile features will see a steady rise in popularity in 2013. NFC should roll out on more devices and we'll see that functionality exploited in more ways, beyond mobile payments. In terms of mobile payments, expect a few competitors to offer cloud-based digital wallets and alternative tech to NFC as consumer adoption and confidence grows slowly. Wireless charging is also set to grow in stature over the coming year and it will be interesting to see how many businesses decide to offer facilities.
No doubt there will be a few surprises as well. Let's hope so, because that's what keeps things interesting. Got a suggestion or hunch of your own? Post a comment and share your mobile predictions for 2013.

|Sathya Sai Baba Organization - The Guru Papers: Masks of Authoritarian Power
Sathya Sai Baba Organization - The Guru Papers: Masks of Authoritarian Power
by Joel Kramer and Diana Alstad
Frog, Ltd., Berkeley, California; 1993
The following quotes are taken from Part One of the Guru Papers and are deemed by ex-members to be strikingly accurate in describing the dynamics of a cult guru. "If an authority not only expects to be obeyed without question, but either punishes or refuses to deal with those who do not, that authority is authoritarian." (p.15)
"Gurus can arouse intense emotions as there is extraordinary passion in surrendering to what one perceives as a living God." (p.33)
"In "spiritual" realms fear and desire can become as extreme as they get. When a living person becomes the focus of such emotions, the possibility of manipulation is correspondingly extreme." (p.41)
"In the East a guru is more than a teacher. He is a doorway that supposedly allows one to enter into a more profound relationship with the spiritual. A necessary step becomes acknowledging the guru's specialness and mastery over that which one wishes to attain. The message is that to be a really serious student, spiritual realization must be the primary concern. Therefore, one's relationship with the guru must, in time, become one's prime emotional bond, with all others viewed as secondary. In fact, typically other relationships are pejoratively referred to as "attachments."" (p.49)
"So although most gurus preach detachment, disciples become attached to having the guru as their center, whereas the guru becomes attached to having the power of being others' center." (p.50)
"When abuses are publicly exposed, the leader either denies or justifies the behaviors by saying that "enemies of the truth" or "the forces of evil" are trying to subvert his true message. Core members of the group have a huge vested interest in believing him, as their identity is wrapped up in believing in his righteousness. Those who begin to doubt him at first become confused and depressed, and later feel betrayed and angry. The ways people deny and justify are similar: Since supposedly no one who is not enlightened can truly understand the motives of one who is, any criticism can be discounted as a limited perspective. Also, any behavior on the part of the guru, no matter how base, can be imputed to be some secret teaching or message that needs deciphering." By holding gurus as perfect and thus beyond ordinary explanations, their presumed specialness can be used to justify anything. Some deeper, occult reason can always be ascribed to anything a guru does: The guru is said to take on the karma of others, and that is why his body has whatever problems it has. The guru is obese or unhealthy because he is too kind to turn down offerings: besides, he gives so much that a little excess is understandable. He punishes those who disobey him not out of anger but out of necessity, as a good father would. He uses sex to teach about energy and detachment. He lives an opulent life to break people's simplistic preconceptions of what ego-loss should look like; it also shows how detached and unconcerned he is about what others think. For after all, "Once enlightened, one can do anything." Believing this dictum makes any action justifiable. People justify and rationalize in gurus what in others would be considered unacceptable because they have a huge emotional investment in believing their guru is both pure and right." (p.52)
"That interest in one's own salvation is totally self-centered is a conundrum rarely explored." (p.54)
"So disciples believe they are loved unconditionally, even though this love is conditional on continued surrender. Disciples in the throes of surrender feel they have given up their past, and do not, consciously at least, fear the future. . . Feeling totally cared for and accepted, at the universe's center, powerful, and seemingly unafraid of the future are all achieved at the price of giving one's power to another, thus remaining essentially a child." (p56)
"It is not at all unusual to be in an authoritarian relationship and not know it. In fact, knowing it can interfere with surrender. Any of the following are strong indications of belonging to an authoritarian group: 1. No deviation from the party line is allowed. Anyone who has thoughts or feelings contrary to the accepted perspective is made to feel wrong or bad for having them. 2. Whatever the authority does is regarded as perfect or right. Thus behaviors that would be questioned in others are made to seem different and proper. 3. One trusts that the leader or others in the group know what's best. 4. It is difficult to communicate with anyone not in the group. 5. One finds oneself defending actions of the leader (or other members) without having firsthand knowledge of what occurred. 6. At times one is confused and fearful without knowing why. This is a sign that doubts are being repressed." (p.57)
"Traditional gurus teach what they were taught. Most gurus' training in dealing with disciples is through example - watching their own guru. They learn to recognize, reinforce, and reward surrender, and to negate non-surrender. Aside from the more tangible rewards, they reinforce devotion with attention and approval, and punish its lack by withdrawing them. Though some gurus say that doubts are healthy, they subtly punish them. Doubt is not the way to get into the inner circle. Believing surrender is essential for transmitting their teachings, some gurus could be aware they are manipulating people to surrender, but think they are doing so"for their own good." (If this were in fact true, it would mean that deep truths are only accessible via an authoritarian mode.) This can not only justify manipulation, but also justify dissembling in order to eliminate people's doubts - all this being done in the name of fostering spiritual growth." (p.62)
"The power of conversion experiences lies in the psychological shift from confusion to certainty." (p.65)
"People whose power is based on the surrender of others develop a repertoire of techniques for deflecting and undermining anything that questions or challenges their status, behavior, or beliefs. They ridicule or try to confuse people who ask challenging questions." (p.66)
"Is experiencing intense energy a sign of spirituality, or is the experience in the same vein as young ladies who swoon in the presence of rock stars?" (p.68)
"To be thought enlightened, one must appear not only certain that one is, but certain about most everything else, too." (p.70)
"Gurus undercut reason as a path to understanding. When they do allow discursive inquiry, they often place the highest value on paradox. Paradox easily lends itself to mental manipulation. No matter what position you take, you are always shown to be missing the point; the point being that the guru knows something you do not." (p.74)
"Their stance toward outsiders is of benign superiority." (p77)
"As long as the guru still sees the possibility of realizing his ambitions, the way he exercises power is through rewarding the enthusiasms of his followers with praise and positions in his hierarchy. He also whets and manipulates desire by offering "carrots," and promising that through him the disciples' desires will be realized, possibly even in this lifetime. The group itself becomes an echo of the guru, with the members filling each other's needs. Within the community there is a sense of both intimacy and potency, and a celebratory, party-like atmosphere often reigns. Everything seems perfect; everyone is moving along the appropriate spiritual path. The guru is relatively accessible, charming, even fun. All dreams are realizable-even wonderful possibilities beyond one's ken." (p.78)
"A particular form of seduction that the group participates in with those flirting with joining is similar to sexual conquest. The group pours an enormous amount of focused energy and attention into potential recruits until they surrender to the group's authority, which of course has the guru and his belief system at its center. When someone does surrender, everyone celebrates the new bonding. This is a bit like a new marriage, and for the recruit, it is the honeymoon phase. This lasts as long as it does, and then the focus of the group shifts elsewhere. (This also happens in romantic love, for after the conquest the wooer's interest and focus often move somewhere else.) When the honeymoon is over, the new converts must shift roles - from being the wooed to being the wooer." (p.79)
"But a cult in decline has more trouble selling itself. . . Members and the guru become withdrawn and the focus gets more internal, insular, and isolating. . . The fun is over. The rewards are now put into the distant future (including future lives) and are achievable only through hard work. This not only keeps disciples busy and distracted, but it is necessary because the flow of resources that came with expansion has greatly diminished. This glorification of work always involves improving the leader's property (the commune or ashram), increasing his wealth, or some other grandiose project." (p82)
"People are especially vulnerable to charismatic leaders during times of crisis or major life change." (p.87)
"People don't want a second-rate guru; they want the one who seems the best. Since purity is the standard measurement - the gold or Greenwich meridian time of the guru world - each guru has to claim the most superlative traits. This is naturally a breeding ground for hypocrisy, lies, and the cultivation of false images of purity. Gurus are thus forced to assume the role of the highest, best, the most enlightened, the most loving, the most selfless, the purest representative of the most profound truths; for if they did not, people would go to one who does. Consequently, it is largely impossible for a guru to permit himself real intimacy, which in adults requires a context of equality. All his relationships must be hierarchical, since that is the foundation of his attraction and power.: (p.88)
"Since adulation from any one person eventually becomes boring, gurus do not need any specific disciple - they need lots of them. Gurus do give special attention to those with wealth and power." (p.89)
"Gurus likewise do many things to ensure that their disciples' prime emotional allegiance is toward them. In the realm of sexuality, the two prevalent ways control is exerted are through promulgating either celibacy or promiscuity. Although seemingly opposite, both serve the same function: they minimize the possibilities of people bonding deeply with each other, thus reducing factors that compete with the guru for attention." (p.92)
". . . sex scandals go with the occupation of the guru because of its [the position's] emotional isolation and eventual boredom. Disciples are just there to serve and amuse the guru who, after all, gives them so much. The guru's temptation is exacerbated by the deep conditioning in many women to be attracted to men in power." (p.93)
"Gurus, like fathers, are in a context that gives them enormous power because of their disciples' needs, trust, and dependency. One reason incest is a betrayal of trust is what a daughter needs from her father is a sense of self-worth not specifically linked to her sexuality. Sex with the guru is similarly incestuous because a guru ostensibly functions as a spiritual father to whom one's growth is entrusted. Having sex with a parental figure reinforces using sex for power. This is not what young women (or men) need for their development. When the guru drops them, which eventually he does, feelings of shame and betrayal usually result that leave deep scars." (p.94)
"Fostering promiscuity, impersonal sex, and interchangeable sexual partners accomplishes the same agenda as celibacy. It trivializes sexual attraction and undermines coupling. Casual, disconnected, modular sex eventually leaves people satiated, jaded, and often hurt. They become fearful of forming deep relationships, which fits neatly into the guru"s need to have disciples detached from everything but him." (p.99)
"Many gurus and spiritual authorities negate, make light of, or even ridicule the use and value of Western psychotherapy because its concepts of the unconscious undermine their authority and power. To acknowledge that unconscious factors may be operative in oneself means that one cannot be totally sure one is selfless" (p.102)
"A primary goal in therapy is to free clients from their need to transfer unresolved issues onto others. This need makes people particularly susceptible to authoritarian control. Good therapists aim at being very conscious of how they deal with transference. Because of the nature of the relationship which demands total surrender, gurus do exactly the opposite. They cultivate and reward transference, for a parental type of authority is at the very core of the guru's power over disciples. The power to name, arrange marriages, and dictate duties and behavior are ultimates in parental authority, especially in traditional societies like the East. To give someone the power to name or marry you is to profoundly accept their parental role in defining who you are. The ostensible motivation behind this has to do with an attempt to break the ties of the past so the person can become "new." A deeper reason is that this aids the guru in becoming the center of the perso's emotional life, which facilitates surrender." (p.105)
"The person most at risk of being strangled by the images demanded by the role of the guru is the guru. This includes the great danger of emotional isolation. . . At the heart of the ultimate trap is building and becoming attached to the image of oneself as having arrived at a state where self-delusion is no longer possible. This is the most treacherous form of self-delusion and a veritable breeding ground of hypocrisy and deception. It creates a feedback-proof system where the guru always needs to be right and cannot be open to being shown wrong - which is where learning comes from." (p.107)
"Successful gurus, rock stars, charismatic leaders of any sort, experience the intensity of adulation amplified beyond most people's ken. This can make ordinary relationships pale by comparison. Being the recipient of such adulation and devotion is exceedingly addictive. Here addiction is used in its loose sense to mean mechanically needing an on-going "fix" of adulation to where it becomes the central focus of one's life. Adulation has powerful emotions for the sender as well, and can be easily mistaken for love. It is likewise addicting for the sender, as it is an easy route to feelings of passion. Since adulation is totally a function of image, should the images crack, adulation disappears, demonstrating that it is essentially empty of real care." (p.112)
"As long as &91;people&93; have unlivable ideals, they are manipulable." (p.156)

This is a scene for the first level of the Guild Hall in the LCC. This is A1, where we are to show our character in the planning stages of building a stone structure.
Groo and his men stumbled upon a fantastic spot for their new lair - a cave with a small opening but a large interior along with water access and good sightlines. They have marked the corners of the structure, and are in the process of clearing the land and bringing in the supplies to begin construction.

» Kirwan's first mock: Newton, Gabbert off board early
A lockout is in place, the players' union has decertified, and the only football-related activity at this time is preparation for the draft.
In the past two weeks, since I released my first mock draft, there have been a number of big pro days that have taken place, as well as more injury updates, which together have caused players to rise and fall on teams' draft boards. This mock draft looks at the first two rounds, with an eye on team needs as well as where player grades are at this point in the process.
New England has four picks in the top 60, Denver three in the top 46, and San Diego three in the top 61. Meanwhile, Oakland's first pick doesn't come until the middle of the second round, No. 48 overall. Carolina, the New York Jets and Miami all are without a pick in the second round and could be motivated to trade into the second round by moving down on Day 1, but that's a story for another time.
First round
The Panthers really need to move down without another pick until No. 65. Peterson is a very talented defender with Pro Bowl potential and a safe pick, but unless the Panthers get a strong commitment to a quarterback ( Cam Newton or Blaine Gabbert), can they afford to take a DB? In my first mock draft the pick here was Da'Quan Bowers, but medical issues have entered the equation.
John Fox must fix his inherited defense, plus he's converting from a 3-4 to a 4-3. At 6-foot-3 and 319 pounds, with a 4.95-second 40 at the combine, Dareus is emerging as another safe pick at the top of the draft. Nick Fairley was the pick here in my first mock, but he has a few issues, pushing him slightly down the board.
Bowers was unavailable at this pick in my first mock, but issues about his knee will cause some concern until he works out for teams. Bowers had 15.5 sacks last year and Buffalo might feel Ryan Fitzpatrick is more than a one-year answer at quarterback.
The Bengals can say what they want publicly, but there is a very good chance Carson Palmer could have thrown his last pass as a Bengal. Newton didn't impress at the combine but was better at his pro day. His private workout will be a big factor in the final decision. Gabbert has yet to work out, but when he does things could change at this spot.
The Cardinals need a quarterback even though they drafted one last year ( John Skelton) and picked up another one as an undrafted free agent (Max Hall). Von Miller was the pick in my first mock but he just became a plaintiff in the labor dispute and that could be a factor with his selection.
Green, who was the pick here in my first mock, is the best playmaking receiver in the draft, and Colt McCoy needs weapons. The Browns might be tempted by Miller if he slides down, but they are returning to a 4-3 scheme and Miller is a better fit in a 3-4.
Miller had 88 plays behind the line of scrimmage in his college career. He ran an impressive 4.47 40 at the combine and a spectacular 4.08 short shuttle at 246 pounds. He would fit very well in Vic Fangio's 3-4 hybrid defense.
The rumors about Fairley's body lacking definition and possibly being a one-year wonder might cause him to drop slightly in the draft but not much farther than here. He is an outstanding 3-technique defensive tackle with quickness and production in his senior season. Dareus was here in my first mock, but he's moving up draft boards.
Dallas could take an offensive tackle or a defensive end at this spot, and there will be players with top-10 grades when the Cowboys select. Amukamara ran under 4.4 on some watches in Indy and Rob Ryan needs what his brother has in New York -- two cover corners. In my first mock, DE Cameron Jordan landed here.
Pick No.10J.J. WATTDEWisconsinWatt is moving up draft boards since the combine. He could be the best fit for a 3-4 defensive end in this draft, and the Redskins need help on defense. The problem is they also need a quarterback, receiver, and help at many other positions. In my first mock it was WR Julio Jones here, but until teams are sure about his foot he could drop slightly.
Jordan is stout enough to be a two-gap player and quick enough to penetrate. If the top two corners are off the board then the Texans could take the defensive end and circle back later for a corner. I watched a number of Jordan's games this week and he is active for a guy that measured 6-foot-4, weighed 287 pounds, and ran a 4.73 40. In my first mock it was Amukamara at this spot, but he's off the board this time.
Smith jumped to the head of the class for some teams when he weighed in at more than 300 pounds and had 29 reps on the bench press to go along with his game tapes. The Vikings need a quarterback in the worst way, but I don't think they reach for one here. It's too bad there are issues surrounding Ryan Mallett because his arm and Adrian Peterson behind him would be an interesting backfield. In my first mock it was OT Nate Solder here, and he has to garner some consideration.
The Lions must protect Matt Stafford's blind side for the next 10 years and Solder has the skills to do just that. The Lions could grab a corner in the next round. Tyron Smith went here in my first mock.
The Rams need a big-time receiver for Sam Bradford to throw to, especially since they like Bradford throwing the ball close to 40 times a game. Jones is big and fast and ran under 4.4 with a broken bone in his foot. Jones would help the Rams' running game, too, with the way he blocks.
This has been a consistent selection for over a month now by anyone talking mock drafts, which is probably the reason they take a back here. Ingram improved his 40 time at his pro day and is a solid runner.
Kerrigan, who also landed here in my first mock, plays with the high motor Jack Del Rio likes to coach. He ran a 4.76 forty at 263 pounds and he made more than 90 plays behind the line of scrimmage in college. Put on his tapes and look at the 14 forced fumbles he caused at Purdue. Pretty impressive.
The Patriots have two picks in the first round and if guys like Watt (the pick here in my first mock) and Kerrigan are gone they could take an offensive tackle at this spot. DE/OLB Robert Quinn is still on the board but a brain tumor still has to be discussed even though he played with it throughout college. Castonzo is versatile and has 54 college starts.
The Chargers play a hybrid defense and Quinn has the ability to play in that scheme. At 6-4 and 265 pounds, he ran a 4.67 40 at the combine. He was ineligible last year but had 11 sacks in 2009. In my first mock, the Chargers took the same type of player, Aldon Smith, but Quinn was off the board.
Pick No.19GABE CARIMIOTWisconsinThe Giants have questions at both tackle spots and in the longterm they need younger players up front. Carimi played left tackle in college and might be a right tackle in the NFL. Castonzo was the pick here in my first mock, but he's off the board this time.
The Bucs need pass-rush help and they prefer speed over size in their defense. Smith isn't Simeon Rice, who played the position in the great Tampa defenses, but he has skills to rush the passer. He ran a 4.75 40 at 6-4 and 263 pounds, and with 46 plays behind the line of scrimmage in two seasons he fits the bill for now.
Taylor is a powerful man with quickness. At 6-3 and 334 pounds, he is a nose tackle in the Chiefs' 3-4. His arms are a bit short for the two-gap scheme but he can bull rush and be a force inside. He also was the pick here in my first mock.
Pick No.22MIKE POUNCEYC/GFloridaThe Colts need line help now and an eventual replacement for center Jeff Saturday. Pouncey has suggested he can play tackle as well and at 6-5 he probably can do just that if need be. In my first mock it was Carimi here, but he's off the board.
There has been a run on tackles with four already gone. With Howard Mudd coaching the line in Philly, he can get Sherrod ready. The Eagles could look long and hard at a corner at this spot. In my first mock I had them taking CB Jimmy Smith.
Heyward, the son of former Saints running back Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, is a versatile and can play inside or out, which sets up well in Greg Williams' defense. Heyward has 33 plays behind the line of scrimmage in his last 25 games.
Smith was off the board in my first mock, but the big corner is there this time. He is nasty, and at 6-2 and 211 pounds with a 4.42 40, he fits into Seattle's scheme. Jake Locker is still on the board but his film study could lead the Seahawks away from the local star.
The Ravens need a speed receiver and a young one. Smith is a vertical threat and would open up the underneath routes for Anquan Boldin. Smith has return skills and is a solid person. He went here in my first mock.
The Falcons' secondary was better last year with the addition of Dunta Robinson, but they need a better nickel and dime package and Harris is the best CB left on the board. They could come back later for a wide receiver. I had WR Jon Baldwin going here in my first mock, but he has moved down draft boards.
Pick No.28MUHAMMAD WILKERSONDETempleAt 6-4 and 315 pounds with 35-inch arms, Wilkerson fits the Patriot profile for a front-three player. He ran a 4.99-second 40 at the combine, and even though he is a bit raw coming out of Temple there is a lot to work with here. The Patriots select again in five picks.
The Bears know there is some depth late in the first round at corner and get a shot at a smooth athlete. Williams ran a slow 40 at the combine and needs to run faster at some point. He'll have a chance at Texas' pro day on March 28.
Pick No.31DANNY WATKINSG/CBaylorAfter interviewing Watkins this week he just sounded like a classic Steeler pick -- mature, tough, and very focused. They might like a corner in this spot but two came off the board in the last four picks.
Clayborn's production fell off in 2010 but he's still a very solid player that helps a front that could see Cullen Jenkins gone in free agency and an aging Ryan Pickett holding things together.

As the spotlight shines on ex-CIA Director David Petraeus' biographer-turned-mistress Paula Broadwell, journalists have uncovered a speech in which she may have revealed classified information about the attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
Broadwell told a Denver audience in October: "Now I don't know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex [to the consulate] had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back."
The CIA adamantly denied her the claim, which would have been a violation of laws prohibiting CIA detention. It has also been suggested that Broadwell was confused when she made that statement.
A source of Fox News, however, corroborated Broadwell's claim today.
If there were ever a motive to attack Americans, it would be the disappearance of friends.
But it's important to note that the CIA operation was unknown to anyone else until it was exposed on the night of the attack and publicly acknowledged in congressional hearings on October 10. The consulate, on the other hand, was the official front for local CIA operations. If there were an original target to strike Americans, it would be the consulate, rather than the safe house.
Broadwell also said in her speech that intelligence shows "the militia members in Libya were watching the demonstration in Cairo and it did sort of galvanize their effort."
The following timeline is according to the CIA:
Once the fired up Libyans attacked the consulate at 9:40 p.m., the lives of Stevens and his colleagues were in immediate danger because the ostensibly pro-American police force, the February 17th Brigade militia, disappeared during the attack.
CIA "security" at the annex received reports of the attack and were "in the car revving the engine," waiting for permission to go as the CIA base chief tried to reach the February 17th Brigade to get "heavy weapons and other assistance"—a logical attempt to get outside support if the aim is to protect knowledge of the annex and the CIA operations.
Twenty minutes later, with time running out and no better options, the lightly-armed security personnel got the order and left to confront attackers at the consulate with the hopes of saving whomever they could. They eventually arrived at 10:20 (after trying to get heavy weapons from other militiamen) and at 11:15 they left Ambassador Christopher Stevens for dead and shuffled remaining State Department personnel—including the body of information management officer Sean Smith— into the vehicles and left, but not alone.
According to NPR, they soon got lost in the streets and militia members shot at their tires as they made it back to the annex.
It wasn't until the CIA personnel blew their cover when they led the attackers back to the hidden annex that the focus of the fighting turned to the annex, which was attacked by rockets and small arms from around midnight to 1:00 a.m. before a lull in the fighting.
CIA backup, including former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, arrived at about 5:15 a.m. Soon after that the attackers began shooting mortars at the annex—one of which killed Doherty and former SEAL Tyrone Woods. At 6 a.m. Libyan forces from the military intelligence service arrived and subsequently took 30 Americans—mostly CIA—to the airport.
The critical question remaining is what the highly secretive U.S. mission in Benghazi was all about (besides being a detention and interrogation center). One theory we've discussed before is that both Stevens and CIA personnel may have been were involved in transporting heavy weapons from Benghazi to Syrian rebels.

Hey scrappers! My good buddy Alice Boll of ScrapbookWonderland.com is launching a new class in April, all about scrapbooking OURSELVES. While I love scrapping my family as much as the next person, I also know the importance of scrapbooking my own stories. Alice's class, "Scrapbook YOU!," kicks off April 1 and is the perfect structure. I asked her some questions about the class and about scrapbooking ourselves in particular. Here are her answers:
1. Why is it important for scrapbookers to capture ourselves?
Only you can really tell your own story. Your scrapbook becomes a living legacy. It shows your personal growth, the changes you make in your life, the people that are a part of it, the choices you make in how you live your life.
2. Why is it so hard?!
It's easy to get stuck when trying to scrapbook yourself. Where do you start? What do you include? How can you fit an entire life into a scrapbook? It's also tough because you may be in a situation without a lot of photos of yourself, or with photos that you don't really like. Sometimes the photos are such poor quality that they can be difficult to work with. The good news is that there are ways around every problem.
3. Many people say "my life isn't interesting." You and I know that isn't really true, but how do we convince others that their life is worth documenting?
Often the 'boring' or 'mundane' parts of life are the most interesting. This is especially true if you think about family members you have never had the opportunity to know. Picture your grandmother, great-grandmother or even great-great grandmother. What did they think about life? Where did they travel? What was their daily life like? How did they enjoy spending their time? Did they have pets? What were holidays like for them as a child? Wouldn't it be great to know the answers to these questions and more? Now is the time to start capturing your memories. Your life is important too! When you start to tell your story you'll realize how much there really is to tell.
4. What kinds of things /topics/questions should we think about documenting?
I challenge you to get underneath the surface. Don't tell the stories you see in photos. Tell the story of what you CAN'T see in the photo! Look back at the questions you'd love to know about your relatives and start with one of those, but about yourself. Life changes fast and you do too. Imagine taking a photo of yourself every day. From day to day you might not see many changes, but over 100, 1000, or even 10,000 days just think of the differences you'd see. The changes in personality or tastes may not be obvious now, but over time they add up as you grow and change. As a scrapbooker you can document not only this moment but the changes in your life over time.
5. I know that the value of scrapbooking goes beyond the end result- that the very process is important. What has happened for you personally when you've committed to capturing your story?
I'm the first person to admit that I love to play and get creative with my scrapbook pages. That's not saying they are all a work of art, but I do enjoy the process of crafting a layout. Scrapbooking has allowed me to see my personal growth; as a person, as a mother, as a wife and more. I can also look back at all of the crazy hairstyles I've tried over the years, but that's another story and another layout! Lol! For me, scrapbooking is a way to tell the stories of my myself and my family. I feel that I appreciate certain moments a little more, or perhaps it's just that I'm more aware of little things that make our life unique and special by scrapbooking them.
6. Tell us about your class!
As much as I love to scrapbook myself, I looked at my shelf of albums one day and realized that I didn't have a book of my own. I had never really told my own story, or at least I'd never put it together with purpose. I decided that I would create a highlight reel of my life, a mini-memoir, and now I want to help you do the same thing! Scrapbook YOU! is the class that will show you where to start, what to include, and how to fit an entire life into a scrapbook. (Yes, it IS possible!) Will it include everything? No! What it will include are the parts that matter the most. It will help you tell the story of YOU. 25 daily prompts will show you how to capture the stories that matter. The bonuses include: What to do when you don't have the right photos, or any photos of yourself. How to add your memorabilia. We're even going to talk about the curse of many scrapbookers… procrastination! Let's find the missing person in your scrapbooks… YOU! Class starts on April 1 and you must be pre-registered. Cost is $45, because I really want you to be a part of this you can save 40% with the code: "myself".
7. Anything else?
I encourage every scrapbooker to make sure that you are a part of your scrapbooks. Tell your story, you are the best person to do it! Lain again… I'm excited about jumping onboard Alice's class, "Scrapbook YOU!". And with the 40% off code "myself" there's no excuse. Will I see YOU in class on April 1?

Dodgers launch digital upgrade for ticket holders
Paperless, mobile delivery among new features; single-game seats available Friday
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers will introduce a paperless ticket program this year for holders of season seats and mini-plans, the club announced Thursday.
The club is partnering with Tickets.com to launch a platform, TDC ProVenue Ticketing, utilizing enhanced technology that is being used this year by 17 Major League Baseball teams.
Among the fan enhancements will be the capability to load digital tickets on smartphones in the same manner that airlines provide for their ticketing. Automated turnstiles are being installed at Dodger Stadium to allow for even faster admission.
Among the features to be implemented by the new platform: digital/mobile delivery to ticket holders; state-of-the-art ticket management; integrated loyalty programs; and interactive seat maps.
"Paperless tickets are part of our heightened efforts to enable Dodger fans to manage their season seats better than ever," Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said in a release.
"The benefits include: receiving your tickets sooner, being able to print them at home or at your office, the ease of transferring them to family, friends, business associates or clients with free forwarding, and the ability to use them via your smartphone to enter the stadium."
The club has temporarily halted season ticket sales at a record 31,000, with individual game tickets going on sale Friday.
