Derrick Rose - The Red Knight Rises

Chicago Bulls star and 2011 NBA MVP Derrick Rose suffered a devastating knee injury at the beginning of last season’s playoffs. Now Adidas is running a marketing campaign centered around his impending — and, for his team and city, much needed — comeback.

So, to recap: we’ve got a fallen hero, a city in need and calls for the return of an absent savior. Sound like the plot to a familiar summer blockbuster? That’s apparently what YouTube user MaccaNba thought, mashing up footage from NBA games and a recent Rose commercial with the soundtrack to a trailer for The Dark Knight Rises.

MaccaNba’s epic result — titled “The Red Knight Rises” — casts LeBron James in the role of Bane and the Miami Heat as the vile gang of heels threatening Rose’s beloved Chicago. Uploaded last week, the video hasn’t quite blown up yet, but it’s been gaining increased momentum on the social web Wednesday morning.

Samsung Making Moves in Apple Territory

Samsung Investing Big Bucks in Apple Territory Posted: 21 Aug 2012 12:49 PM PDT Late last year, Apple put the wheels in motion on a new $300 million Austin, Texas-based campus. But Apple apparently isn’t going into Texas alone. Samsung on Tuesday confirmed rumors that the tech giant is similarly investing huge sums of cash into a Texas based facility. “Samsung Electronics Co said on Tuesday it will spend about $4 billion at its chip plant in Austin, Texas, to renovate an existing chip producing line and boost production of system chips, widely used in popular smartphones and tablets,” Reuters reported this afternoon. The investment comes on top of 2.25 trillion won ($1.98 billion) in spending that Samsung announced in June to build a new logic chip plant in South Korea, and the conversion of two memory chip lines into logic chip production earlier this year to meet growing demand from mobile gadget customers such as Apple. “We are extremely pleased to extend our presence in Austin and reinforce Samsung’s capacity for highly advanced logic products,” said Samsung Austin Semiconductor’s president Woosung Han. “The added ability in production will allow our customers to better respond to market needs.”

FORGIVENESS: A Minute With John Maxwell, Free Coaching Video

Alexander Pope, an 18th-century poet said, "To err is human, to FORGIVE divine."

To "love your enemies" goes against human inclination and what "seems right to a man" is A, B and C... Accusation, Blame and Censure... which is why FORGIVENESS is divine. 

Unforgiveness is SPIRITUAL POISON! To "have to" REMEMBER that you hate someone for their failures... bearing a grudge, holding in resentments... is a terrible burden. 

However difficult we may find it to let go, there is never a wrong time to do the right thing. REMEMBERING that we are subject to the very same faults and failings of others, allows us to keep things in their proper perspective. 

When we choose FORGIVENESS, we enter into FREEDOM.

HOPE: A Minute With John Maxwell, Free Coaching Video

HOPE is a beautiful word. As one of the three great virtues, it finds itself between FAITH and LOVE. HOPE is a DESIRE for the well-being of our fellow man... to pull them from the depths of DESPAIR... to breathe life into their beleaguered spirit. 

Helen Keller once said, "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. 
Nothing can be done without HOPE and confidence."

EVOLVE: A Minute With John Maxwell, Free Coaching Video

e·volve [ih-volv] Show IPA verb, e·volved, e·volv·ing.
verb (used with object).
1.
to develop gradually: to evolve a scheme.

Human beings have the most evolved "mind, body, spirit" core of any of Creation's critters. What does that mean? It means we, as human beings, don't just have destiny, or day-to-day survival to think about. We have a duty to, a responsibility for, our growth. There is no computer on Earth more powerful than the human brain. To whom much is given, much is expected. Consider these things the next time you become impatient. Think on this the next time you become angry. When you are about to throw up your hands and give up hope, remember this... you are most wondrously made. Decide to be what you are. Choose intelligence, logic, wisdom, love... choose wonder, laughter...choose to think your way through an issue, rather than react. You can refuse the gift, but why? Acceptance opens doors, channels, discovery, exploration...GROWTH. EVOLVE. God Bless.
