Storm Active: August 17-19, 23-31
On August 13, a large tropical wave entered the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa. As with many of the previous August waves, thunderstorm activity diminished as soon as it was over water. There was some spin associated with the system over the next few days, but the low pressure area remained elongated. The circulation improved greatly on August 15 and 16, leaving limited shower activity as its main barrier to development. Meanwhile, the system was moving due westward at a steady clip toward moister air, and thunderstorm activity increased significantly by the morning of the 17th. That afternoon, aircraft reconnaissance discovered a closed circulation and tropical storm force winds, prompting the naming of Tropical Storm Harvey.
After formation, Harvey moved at around 20 mph toward the west, steered by a ridge to its north. As with many systems moving at such speeds near the Lesser Antilles, the storm had difficulty maintaining a center of circulation and was rather disorganized. Nevertheless, it brought some localized heavy rain and gusty winds as it passed over the Windward Islands during the morning of August 18. Moderate shear also took a toll on the system as it continued quickly westward; during the afternoon of August 19, it was downgraded to a tropical depression. The system's deterioration continued through the evening and aircraft reconnaissance was unable to detect evidence of a closed circulation that evening. Harvey had opened up into a wave and was no longer a tropical cyclone.
The remnants of Harvey continued toward the west, where conditions for development began to improve again. Early on August 20, they passed near the coasts of Nicaragua and Honduras, bringing some rain to the shoreline. Shower activity increased significantly that afternoon. Before a new circulation could fully develop, however, the system began to interact with the Yucatan Peninsula. While Ex-Harvey crossed over land on August 21 and 22, it produced convection mainly over the Gulf waters to the north. Nevertheless, some spin reappeared on satellite imagery. The system became much more vigorous by the morning of the 23rd, once it was back out over warm Gulf waters. Aircraft reconnaissance soon found a well-defined center of circulation and advisories were reinitiated on Tropical Depression Harvey before noon.
During the afternoon, Harvey slowed to a standstill, and a central dense overcast feature appeared, indicative of a developing system. The central pressure began to slowly decline, but the circulation was still rather disorganized. Overnight, the depression was upgraded to a tropical storm. The upper-level low that was causing some shear over Harvey was weakening, meanwhile, leaving the storm in very favorable atmospheric conditions. Early on August 24, the system began a run of rapid intensification, reaching hurricane strength by early in the afternoon! Though the wind speeds leveled out through the evening, the central pressure continued to drop, presaging a corresponding increase of winds. This occurred in the middle of the night, bringing Harvey to category 2 strength. Around this time, a vigorous outer rain band swept across the Texas coastline. During the morning of August 25, it became evident that the hurricane was experiencing an eyewall replacement cycle (EWRC), where the innermost ring of thunderstorms about a powerful hurricane's eye contracts or dissipates, and a second ring (the outer eyewall) takes over. This put a temporary cap on Harvey's winds, but did not stop the central pressure from dropping steadily.
Meanwhile, the system was still moving at a moderate pace toward the northwest and approaching the Texas coastline. Squalls and even tornadoes occurred over land as the more vigorous rain bands swept across the coast. During the afternoon, Harvey's EWRC was completed, and a large eye cleared out on satellite and radar imagery. This was accompanied by another rapid increase in winds, bringing the hurricane to its peak intensity as a category 4 storm; it had maximum winds of 130 mph and a central pressure of 938 mb when it made landfall in Texas. This was first major hurricane landfall in the United States since 2005, the first hurricane landfall in Texas since 2008, and the strongest in the state since 1961. The storm slowed as it moved north-northwestward inland and weakened. By mid-morning on August 26, Harvey was a minimal hurricane, and it weakened to a tropical storm that afternoon. However, as the storm slowed to a standstill, the greatest concern was rain: the counterclockwise spin of the circulation continually brought new moisture from over the Gulf northward over areas east of the center, dumping feet of rain over a wide swath of Texas. Harvey reversed course and began to meander generally southward by the morning of August 27. Later, the direction of drift turned southeastward. Since part of the circulation remained over water, the storm was able to maintain minimal tropical storm strength through the next day. Meanwhile, the main source of rain was a large band wrapping around the northeast side of the circulation down to the Gulf, pulling moisture over eastern Texas and Louisiana. Early on August 28, Harvey's center reemerged over the Gulf of Mexico.
Some intermittent convection rekindled near the center once it touched warm Gulf waters, but the circulation was entraining dry air from western Texas, and wind shear was high. As a result, the inner core could not redevelop, and Harvey resembled an extratropical cyclone more than a tropical one. It had a comma-shaped tail of thunderstorm activity wrapping from north of the center eastward, so that rain continued over eastern Texas and Louisiana. The cyclone traveled first southeast, and then east over the next day. Winds increased modestly during this period to 50 mph in strong rain bands over water. Finally, on the 29th, Harvey turned toward the north and increased in speed somewhat, making its final landfall in western Louisiana early on August 30. The cyclone weakened over land as it moved north, but dealt a final burst of heavy rain to eastern Texas before becoming a tropical depression that evening. Soon, the system became extratropical, but rainfall continued to push northeastward, bringing moderate amounts of rain to the mid-Atlantic and northeast by September 2. A peak rainfall accumulation of 51.88" occurred in Cedar Bayou, Texas, the highest rainfall total every recorded from any tropical cyclone in the continental United States.
The above image shows Harvey shortly before landfall in Texas.
Harvey's unusual slow movement near and over the state of Texas brought unprecedented rains to south and east parts of the state.

Welcome to "THE F FILES" Starting in June, 2020 An Exploration into, Faith McCann's, A Real Witch's Paranormal and Occult Diaries. The F Files are my diaries of personal experiences throughout my 50 plus years of being a witch and my encounters with the spirit world, angelic world, magickal phenomenon, and the unknown even I cannot explain. I also share stories from history of the spooky and mysterious that often get shoved into the distant past, all of which I hope you will enjoy.

What We Do With Magick Has Been Proven Scientifically in the Labratory
Good Evening My Witchy Reader,
My, what a provocative title! But I do believe it is true. What we do, or attempt to do with magick is to use natural items, such as stones, crystals, herbs, essential oils, candles, and ritual and energy mixed with our direct focused thoughts, what some like to call 'intentions' to create needed change through manifestation. We use magick to change our lives for the better. Another way of putting it, is we use magick to make changes that we couldn't have done just on our own.
Well, a Japanese scientist a Doctor by the name of Masaru Emoto has conducted experiments with water, music and various other materials over the past 20 years that has shown that our thoughts, our energy directed at something, as in the case I will discuss tonight, water molecules, can make change. Drastic, remarkable change.
What Dr. Emoto did with his water experiments, I will describe briefly. He took water that was double distilled, so it was considered as pure as possible. He would observe the water molecules under the microscope and they appeared normal. He then froze them to see what form they would take. They would take on a crystalline shape, as was expected. Through his experiments he decided to start 'thinking' about the water droplets in various ways. he started labeling the samples of water with different phrases such as one was labelled "I love you", one was labelled "You are beautiful", one "You are ugly, I hate you", one "I will kill you" and so on.
He would take each sample and spend time with each thinking of the phrase and saying it out loud and thinking of the phrase. Then he would attempt to freeze the water to be able to see the molecule more clearly under the microscope. What he saw astonished him. The samples that had positive, beautiful words and thoughts directed at them were beautiful snowflake like designs, whereas the samples that had mean, dark energies and thoughts directed at them were misshapen, discolored, ugly and some even looked like sludge.
He did not manipulate the water samples with any additives, or even touching the water. The samples were only spoken to and thoughts directed at them. Now, my research into this finds that there are those who dismiss Dr. Emoto's claims, which while seemingly irrefutable, we know these days that there are those who will dispute the color of the sky if it further's their own agenda.
I believe Dr. Emoto's research, which has evolved to include the effect of music on water molecules, among other experiments involving emotions and thoughts, words and energies directed at humans by other humans. If you consider the human body, doctors tell us we are physically made up of more than 70% water. So, taking into account Dr. Emoto's research, we can follow it further and see that words directed at us, by others or even negative self speak by yourselves can in turn poisonous in our bodies. The opposite is also true with beautiful thoughts and words.
Now there is yet to be direct correlation made proving that negative emotions cause physical ailments, but today leading cancer specialists are using alternative methods such as motivational and inspirational therapy, massage therapy, feel good activities to help accelerate their patients healing process. Though while not clinically proven as of yet, doctors are seeing positive results when the patient is happier, feeling loved, wanted, appreciated, needed than those overcome with stress, depression and anxiety. Historically we have metaphors such as "He died of a broken heart", "I feel empty inside", "I am full of love", that speak of how we take our emotions and absorb them physically so much that they affect us on that level.
We already know the devastating effects of severe depression, grief, anxiety and how we know those intense emotions affect blood pressure, heart conditions and some other physical issues, so why not our entire being. Dr. Emoto's experiments went on to show how positive thoughts, including prayers, blessings or connecting with Divine energy, whatever you may call it, can actually reverse polluted water and make it pure and clean. Then what could changing our thoughts about us and that around us, do to make our bodies healthier and us happier?
For those of us in the magickal world, we read this and it makes perfect sense, but so many in the world of the relative are still skeptics and refuse to believe simple thoughts can make such a difference. I see that our thoughts are the true tool that causes our magick to manifest, and I personally feel that Dr. Emoto's experiments with simple water crystals have proven the effects of the magickal world, that the witch has known and worked with for centuries. We see the results of our magick every day, we do not need to be convinced.
For the students of history, they will remember a time in history when the greatest of kings had witch advisers or sorceresses in their castle keep to advise and help the king see into the future with their divination. At one time in the foggy mists of ancient history, though often kept quiet and hidden in the shadows, the witch was often the second most significant person in the castle aside from the king. That is because she could see what the king could not and she was able to give the knowledge necessary for the king to make important decisions. Entire historical great wars and battles were fought, and battle tactics implemented from hundreds of miles away simply from what the witch could see in her pool of water or in her crystal.
In these ancient times, it was apparent that magick was highly respected, and was for centuries. Because it worked. If it didn't, the witch's position would have been short lived, indeed. It is only because of specific political church directives to eliminate the worship of the Goddess and to eliminate the witch and by doing so the power of the knowledgeable woman. For over 1,500 years that we find ourselves in a time when the concept of the witch is comical and a figure expected to be seen around Halloween, and which many seldom take seriously.
The witch today, when she is magickally educated, knowledgeable and trained, has much to give to those she wishes to help with her magick.
I will tell you something many people that work with magick are not aware of. Magick works on the basis of love, and loving energies. Even if I am doing a money spell, or a healing spell, or a tranquility spell I always am burning a love candle. Energies sent out return to you. This is the karmic energy of what we do. It has nothing to do with being Wiccan, and the "Rule of Three" , as some feel if they say they are not Wiccan then they will avoid that pesky three fold rule of what they send out coming back to them.
So sorry, it is not Wiccan, it is karma. What you send out does indeed come back to you. If you send out negative energy to harm another, even though you feel you have been wronged and have every right to get revenge "damn it!" or "they have it coming to them and I'm going to deliver it to them!" well, you will only hurt yourself.
I have read of very experienced, seemingly educated witches who feel they have the right to curse and send negative energy out to others. I have seen some even try to do a mass curse because they did not like a presidential candidate. Really wrong!! Especially when a witches emotions get the better of them, they forget the basics of magickal scientific principles.
Now, "Lest in thy self defense it be, ever mind the rule of three", I also believe this. I have done protective, defensive magick when it was in the act of self defense. When you are personally threatened or I have helped those with their own spells when they have felt the need to physically protect themselves and their homes from harm. But revenge? No. Don't like a political candidates viewpoints, no matter how outrageous? No.
But I watch carefully when I see these witches attempt these actions. Never do they ever accomplish any harm against their target, and interestingly enough, they are often lamenting on social media how they can't pay their rent, how they can't make ends meet, how they are so unhappy and how the magickal community has let them down, and where are their supporters? Now fortunately these individuals are far and few between and seldom have any sort of following as I believe people see through their nonsense fairly quickly.
I like to believe in the water molecule research as demonstrated by Dr. Emoto. To demonstrate this to my students I had them write 20 sentences about themselves. Each sentence was to be a positive sentence describing them in the nicest terms. Such as I am wonderful because I _____________" I am special because I am good at _________________" and so forth.
Try it, it is much harder than it seems. We are very good at, actually programmed, at telling ourselves what we are lacking in, not good enough at, and what we need to work on. Yet the opposite, we have incredible difficulties. It is as if we are not supposed to say nice things about ourselves. But if we remember we are mostly water and just by saying these nice things our molecules can change and become like beautiful snowflakes, then we can start to change for the good.
It sounds simple, but you will find it very challenging, and that is the nature of effective magick. yet the more you practice, the better you will get at it.
In conclusion, Dr. Emoto also found various music can also change and make beautiful the water molecules. Now Dr. Emoto found that classical music caused beautiful designs to be created in the water molecules, but he found rock music did not have the same results. But that different musical frequencies have various healing properties on the body. I know enough about quantum physics (which is what we are discussing here) that not only will the thoughts and emotions being directed at the water molecules make a difference but also the feelings of the researcher regarding, in this instance, what they feel about the musical score they were listening to, will in turn affect the experiment. I know some music makes me very happy, some does not. Some is irritating and some makes me sad. But what I like may indeed, be very different from what you like.
So, take the concept of Dr. Emoto's experiment and apply it to your life. But if you like rock music and it 'feeds your soul' as I like to say, then it will be beneficial to you, just as if you feel classical music makes you sad or bored, it will not have the same beneficial effect. You are part of the experiment, and you must be considered in the equation.
These same principles can and should be used with your casting of spells and creating magickal manifestation. As you create needed magickal change you will also be affecting your water molecules and continue to become more beautiful every day.
So, I hope you choose to be a beautiful water molecule today!
Live, Laugh and Always Love, Ms. Faith

I invited a guest to author the Back Page this week. Well, I got this in an email and couldn't put it down. So, here you go. And thank you, Paul Tripp.
– Pastor Jim
When you look at a 16-year-old, what are your hopes and expectations for them? Go to school, do your homework, and please avoid the typical teenage temptations and errors? Some boys are different. Here is the story of three who refused to be passive in the face of wrong.
The boys were attending a large, established, and well-known Christian school. But there were problems in the school as never before. The student body had become divided, with a separation between the "suburban" kids and the "city" kids.
Those labels were just a cover. This once-great school had become racially divided. There hadn't been any violence, at least not yet, and much of the racism was covert. But it was there, and real, and undeniable.
This was unacceptable to these three teenage boys. A Christian school is supposed to be known for its love. A place of peace. Yet the culture of this school had become defined by worldly stereotypes and division.
These three teenage boys decided to do something. They asked the headmaster for permission to hold a weekly Friday-afternoon discussion on race relations in the school. That first Friday, a mixed group of 25 uncomfortable teenagers gathered in the assigned classroom, with the three original boys the only ones looking as if they wanted to be there.
One of the three boys started the conversation by confessing his own hurt and bias. Voice after voice followed. Sometimes it was confession, sometimes confrontation, but honesty ruled that hour. The culture of the school didn't change permanently that day, but a door had been opened that would be hard to close.
The following week, 50 students crammed into that classroom and the conversation began to migrate from confession and confrontation to reconciliation. There were even times when students would get up, walk across the room, and embrace one another in a public gesture of respect. The third week, the gathering had to be held in the auditorium.
These three teens have since graduated, but their legacy remains. That school is more racially unified than it would have ever been otherwise, and it's only because three unremarkable and unsuspecting boys would not remain passive in the face of an unbiblical status quo.
Don't miss the point: As a follower of Jesus Christ, you cannot think biblically about life and adopt a passive lifestyle.
To begin with, the world you live in is terribly broken (Rom. 8:18–22). Second, God's agenda is the complete renewal of everything (Rev. 21:1–5). Third, God is sovereign and has placed you exactly where he intends you to be (Acts 17:24–28). Fourth, you have been lit by God's grace and called to radiate his character in the darkness that surrounds where he has placed you (Matt 5:14–16).
The question is, will you live biblically, exercising the character and influence you have been given? Or in your passivity will you try to take yourself off the hook with self-serving rationalizations, flawed logic, and unbiblical thinking? Remember, the One who has positioned and called you is with you.

text: Gas Stations Though gas prices change on an almost daily basis, the upward trend in prices seems to be permanent, which is why San Antonio gas stations are in a fierce war to attract customers by offering the best gasoline at the lowest price. Gas stations have, however, grown into little shopping havens themselves, often being housed with convenience stores that enable customers to stop inside to purchase food, snacks, beverages, and even books and games for their time on the road. Several websites now track San Antonio gas stations to show which stations have the highest and lowest gas prices, giving consumers the knowledge to save their money.

This is Pixie Emelia Aurora Ray,
she believes she can control reality!
Pixie thinks she owns the world!
He's a glimpse...
We rescued little Kali Gala Ray...
...only to say good-bye to our beloved "Manny" Billie :(
We said good-bye to our precious John Lennon; his chronic bacteria infection finally took over :(
When we received John in 2013, his prognosis required his back feet to be amputated.
However, daily care, and treatment with a combo of antibiotics, probiotic, colloidal silver, and many other homeopathics, enabled him to keep his feet and live comfortably with his kitties,
for an additional 5 years!
We miss you John! xo
Then these kiddos came along...
Veltropa Luna Nashira & Almalthea Bonita Ray...(named by one of our Hipcampers)!
A by product of the 4H program, these sisters found us when their human family split up.
Since they had little human contact, it took time to gain their trust.
This is Vela...she is very bossy for a tiny creature!
She is always in my face for kisses or telling me how to do things...
she is extremely vocal, and fearless!
Sister Thea is a bit shy, she stays with Pixie more.
Pixie hates the babies cuz they're cuter than her...
Both little does, like to eat treats out of my mouth; they like to be held; and Vela loves to be petted xo
Meanwhile, over at the barn...
Hermes got a new friend...
This is a feral barn cat whom one of our campers named Reese, and he likes that name just fine!
Reese waits for me each feeding, for love and companionship. He won't eat his food until I sit down with him to pet him, which he loves!
He understands that he is a part of it all and he is happy to have a place to be loved and cared for xo
Then THIS happened...
In June, 5 renegade roosters flew the coop across the river and took over our neighborhood!
These two were the only to survive the wild, but they were definitely determined to not only survive, but to just assimilate into the sanctuary...unfortunately, cranky, mean neighbors called the County and they were removed from the neighborhood.
We miss them; we did not bring them here, nor did we bother them; all the cats, and goats accepted them; I did not care if they made their morning calls;
this is nature and it's silly to try to control it however others saw it different, and I cannot control cracky people!
They made it until November and were taken to a proper home by the County.

I receved an email yesterday to say the confidential job had gone for approval, and after one more batch of pdfs, I signed off the magazine for printing. Then I breathed a huge sigh and thought: Let the fun begin.
So last night I thought I'd write out the overseas cards, but when I picked up the box of "50 assorted Christmas cards" I found it was full of birthday cards, as was the box of birthday cards beneath it. That means my box of Christmas cards is in the loft, along with the rest of Christmas. I'm not really in the mood yet to go crawling around up there, so I'll nip up to the local shop and pick up a few so I can catch the last posting date for America and Canada before the end of today.
Other jobs today include diary work for the freelance calendar. Yes, folks, in January I become a writer again.
When I'm freelancing I do 4 tasks per month – research, query, write, submit. In January I should be researching (or thinking) July, querying (or marketing) June, writing May, and submitting an edited April. So last night, because I've already missed the first few stages, I started to think about what I could write and submit on spec for May and April. Over my Christmas holiday I'll start "thinking" June, and by the time January starts I should at least have something on the boil for all of it.
Once the routine has settled, I start to think "reprints" too – and these are straight reprints, rather than rewrites, that can be sold as previously published without having to do any additional work. That's why I tend to hold onto my copyright. It is true that some, maybe many, will need reworking to fit different markets, but I sell what I can first without doing anything to it to maximise earning potential for minimal work.
Saying that, if they pay me a fair wage in the first place in return for them getting the copyright, they can have it – so long as it's a hefty, decent fair wage, and I'll rework it anyway. But until then, hey ho.
So, that's …
- a trip to the shop
- freelance diary work
- a trip to the post box
- Lycra Louts #1
- Devon's 5 in 10 (I'll pick up a paper from the shop too)
- The Beast Within Ch1 #2
- maybe some Writers' Bureau work (I'll look at the notice board at the shop)
- read Writers' Forum
I'd best get on with it …

I picked a few SWEET ANNABELLE HYDRANGEAS from the GARDEN today. They look so PRETTY in my kitchen!
I will be picking more soon for drying. The SWEET ANNABELLES are BEAUTIFUL this year. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. From one sweetie to another~~~~~Roxie

Hydrangeas are such a stunning flower - yours are absolutely gorgeous!ReplyDelete
As a florist I find it hard to decide on which flower is my favourite.... so thank you Roxie for reminding me how beautiful these are!! :-)
Vanessa x
I'm so jealous!My hydrangea Bush starts out looking so full and beautiful and then the heat comes. Phewy! Your's are lovely though. I didn't know they came in white. Thank you for sharing your pretties. :)ReplyDelete
Debra, the ANNABELLE is an old-fashioned variety and have been around a long time. I think it's been overlooked by all the NEW varieties. I was told, they are very hard to find-at least in my area. I have had mine for almost 15 years and purchased them at a nursery that was family owned 100 yrs. They carried old varieties in many plants. They are out of business now. But Thanks for the sweet comments! RoxieDelete
These are beautiful. My hydrangea bush is still so small that there are only 4 blooms. Maybe next year I will have enough to cut some :)ReplyDelete
your hydrageas are gorgeous!!
I wonder if there is a variety of hydrageas that would grow in our zone 4, and be resistant to deer??
I need to check it out, as I've always loved hydrageas, and would be over the moon happy to be able to grow them!
Enjoy your weekend.
Hi Roxie, Your Hydrangeas are beautiful they are one of my favorite flowers, but I can't seem to get them to grow here. I think that our climate is to dry. When our daughter gave birth to our second granddaughter I had a bouquet sent to the hospital with Hydrangea, daisies, one pink rose and two pink rose buds. My daughter's middle name is Rose, and her two daughters also share that same middle name (my middle name, too). She said it was the prettiest bouquet she had ever seen.ReplyDelete
I have had four people ask if I sold my water bottles bags on Esty. Do you have an Esty shop? I do not know anything about them. How do you start one? If you have any information I sure would be interested. I am very happy that you like my little idea. I'll be seeing my granddaughters over the 4th of July, so I'll give them their bottle bags then. Have a great 4th, Connie :)Replies
Connie, I do not have an ETSY shop, tho I have thought about it. I have also researched it, but at this time decided against it. Maybe in the future. I am sure your granddaughters will love their little "bottle purses". I did! from one sweetie to another~~~~RoxieDelete
Such gorgeous hydrangeas! I had green ones in my wedding, and loved them! So pretty! I love how fluffy yours look! Happy weekend! xo HeatherReplyDelete
Beautiful! I do love the annabelle. It was my centerpiece for my dining room for Memorial DayReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 30, 2012 at 6:38 PM
If you can dry those how great that would be. They look very very pretty.ReplyDelete
soooo pretty! thanks for coming by Georgie Emerson! Nice to connect with you!! I'm your newest follower!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful flowers!! The "vase" is nice too.ReplyDelete

Why we use CoSchedule
CoSchedule is a social media marketing automation platform. It connects to your networks so you can batch schedule your post and never miss a beat to market yourself on Instagram or share a link on Twitter. It also plugs into your WordPress-powered blog to schedule social messages in advance promoting that specific blog post.
Favorite Features
Robust calendar: CoSchedule allows you to see all of your campaigns in one calendar layout. You can see your entire marketing calendar or select just emails, just blog posts, etc. You can share this calendar with your marketing team so everyone is on the same page. It's also a place to plan content so your marketing calendar is consistent across networks.
Ability to schedule social media posts from your blog: CoSchedule's plugin works with WordPress-powered blogs to promote that post right from the post. What good is a blog if you don't use the content to market yourself online? This makes it easy for you to write, schedule, and promote your post all in one place.
Why you still need to use Google + and other Google services like Maps
No other social media channels offer you SEO benefits like a Google+ account can. Google is now taking more SEO ranking from its social media platform, Google+, than other social media platforms.
Once you enter the Google+ world, you will encounter a great deal of resources in one place. Google manages: Hangouts, Communities, YouTube, Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, and many others. Each of these was created to benefit and optimize your marketing strategy and take your brand even further.
Favorite Feature
Reviews: Encourage reviews from your customers or clients on your Google Business page and Google+. These reviews increase the authority of your Google+ and business page and increase the chances of ranking well in the local search carousel. Getting reviews on Google is one of the most powerful ways of promoting trust and confidence in your business.
Why you want to manage your reputation with BirdEye
Once you start getting those reviews, manage your reputation with software like BirdEye.

Why you need survey software like Survey Monkey or Typeform
It's important to get feedback so you can extract and share actionable insights with your team to drive your business forward. Survey software like Survey Monkey or Typeform are invaluable for gathering feedback.
Using survey software, you can:
- Get customer feedback — hello, customer satisfaction surveys
- Get employee feedback — gather insights on how to create a happier workplace
- Tap into target markets — instantly access feedback from your target markets anywhere in the world
- Get event feedback — want to know what your guests really thought of your last detox workshop with that big-wig special guest contributor? Yes, you do.
Favorite Features
Anonymity: for truly honest feedback, anonymity is a must. You can ensure you're getting feedback from your clients based on how they feel, especially if they're a regular. Sure, they're a regular guest for a reason, but they may be hesitant to share their true thoughts, especially if they're negative, because of how they've been treated there. It's possibly they also are afraid to speak up while at the spa and jeopardize that relationship with you. Having anonymity ensures feedback that's useful and not fluff.
Organized results: flowcharts are fun! Well, we love any analytical information. The results of your survey are reported to you in an easy-to-see and easy-to-interpret way, making it easy for you to see and implement the feedback.

We are not affiliates for any of these companies/apps so we won't get compensated for if you sign up with any of them based on our recommendations.

23 Dog Names Based On Baked Goods For The Sweetest Pups
I'm not the only one whose favorite meal of the day is dessert. If it were up to me, I'd skip dinner all together and go straight to the rainbow cookies. If you're in the same boat, and with a brand new puppy to boot, why not name the newest addition to your family after your go-to dessert? There's no reason why you shouldn't name your dog after your favorite baked treat. Not only is it adorable, but it will make your pet even sweeter than they already are.
Plus it's an opportunity to get creative. You can name your pup something standard like Cookie or Cupcake, or more exotic like Eclair or Macaron. And if you want to get ironic, you can even call them gluten.
The point is, if you are looking for a cute name for your sweet furry friend, you might as well name him or her something that is actually sweet — you know, to match their irresistible personality.
There are even some names that just seem totally spot on, like Waffle for a Pomeranian. Sweet and fluffy, they're both basically the same thing. And if do decide to go down this route, I hope you live close to a bakery because naming your dog after a dessert may trigger some cravings.
1. Waffle
One of the best breakfast foods on the planet. They are fluffy, and sweet, hmm this sounds just like a Pomeranian. If waffles fill your belly, well these dogs will sure fill your heart.
2. Croissant
This seems like a fitting name for a dog with a lot of different personalities — to play off the actual layers in a croissant.
3. Cupcake
Everyone loves a good cupcake, and whether you just like the icing or the cake, it's a crowd-pleaser.
4. Muffin
If you are looking for a more traditional name for your new pet, this is a seemingly more popular dog name than others on this list. A classic treat for a classic dog.
5. Cookie
The best thing about cookies is that there are so many different kinds: big, small, round, square — the list goes on. Name your dog Cookie, or go the extra mile and name them after your favorite kind. Macadamia, peanut, even chocolate... there's plenty of room to get creative here.
6. Eclair
Does your dog come off as a little standoffish, but totally melts into a puddle once she gets to know someone? Then Eclair might be the perfect name for them.
7. Napoleon
Whether this name speaks to you because you love the dessert, or the French military leader, it's a fitting name for a petite dog who also happens to be a bit of an alpha.
8. Cobbler
I doubt you'll run into many Cobblers at the dog part. It's a unique pet name, but also one that makes you feel so warm and sunny inside.
9. Strudel
If your dog's a morning person, this might be the perfect name for them.
10. Biscuit
This name feels right for a tiny little lap dog that you can carry around everywhere — maybe even in their own basket.
11. Blondie
You should really get a yellow Labrador and a chocolate Lab and name them Blondie and Brownie. Just saying.
12. Cheesecake
Whether you love actual cheesecake or just The Cheesecake Factory, you can deny that this is an adorable name for your pup.
13. Shortcake
Picture this: A mini Corgi named Shortcake. If that's not perfection, I don't know what is.
14. Cream Puff
If you're looking at your little Bulldog and a cream puff comes to mind, you've found the perfect name for your dog.
15. Moon Pie
The best part about this name might be that you can call them "Moon" or "Moonie." Go for this name if you're into the dessert, or if you're just into astrology.
16. Macaroon
Macarons are small, yummy, French cookies. What also is French, small, and round? French Bulldogs.
17. Newton
Why do we love Fig Newtons so much? Probably the sweet and fruity center. Also how cute is the nickname "Figgy" for your pooch?
18. Tiramisu
Tiramisu is one of the best dessert options of all time, so bring it into your everyday life by naming your pup after it.
19. Whoopie Pie
You might have a hard time keeping a straight face when you're scolding them and using their full name, but it's a catchy and adorable name, nonetheless.
20. Twinkie
This name perfectly fits a tiny dog for all the obvious reasons.
21. Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is not only the best pie in the world, it has a rich red color, too. If you have a red-haired dog, you can name them after this Thanksgiving staple, and just call them "Pecan" for short.
22. Snickerdoodle
Snickerdoodle is, hands down, the perfect name for a Poodle. But really any dog could rock this adorable name.
23. Tart
Who doesn't love tarts? They're full of flavor, which makes it a perfect name for your dog with a lot of personality.

Curfew And Lockdown
All across the globe millions of people are confined to their homes in curfew or lockdown in an effort to stem the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
I really do believe these days of separation and isolation are not just for that purpose, but are also God's incubation tools wherein He desires to prepare His people in various ways for what is to come.
Redeem The Time
To this end, I pray that as we obey the instructions of our governments and remain confined to our homes, by God's grace, we as His people will make the most of our time…that we will have ears attuned to His voice and will seek, hear and yield to His revealed will and come out on the other side of this as He intends.
Be encouraged to redeem the time.

The International Research Institute for Climate and Society, together with the American Red Cross, and in partnership with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and others, have launched its third edition 'A Better Climate for Disaster Risk Management' within the series Climate and Society publications. The report brings forward the importance of including seasonal climate forecasts into disaster risk management to better prevent and plan for disasters. Being prepared can reduce costs and protect lives, the report states, as well as reduce the impacts of disasters and improve livelihoods.
The report also highlights the progress that has been made within the area of connecting science based information on climate and weather to disaster risk management, while bringing forward examples and lessons learned from the field. A few of the examples included are integrating rainfall and hurricane forecasts into planning in post-earthquake Haiti and using climate information to increase long-term food security in Kenya.
Read more on the launching event here.
Creating partnerships
Today there is generally a lack of collaboration among climate information providers and humanitarian actors, which reduces the ability to act effectively, the reports states. Instead a partnership can help develop trust, create actionable information as well as provide a vital opportunity for feedback on the information available. Humanitarian actors can in this sense help scientists identify new information needs and define new questions for further research, all to improve future disaster risk management and help protect lives. This mutually beneficial and reinforcing relationship is also what the report wants to highlight.
How to move forward
The report offers several recommendations for future work:
- Initial efforts should focus on potential 'quick wins' - areas where seasonal forecasts are more reliable, meaning immediate returns on investment.
- Disaster risk managers should enhance their understanding for how climate forecasts work, including its limitations.
- Donor agencies should increase its support and funding for disaster preparedness and prevention.
- Build in impact and evaluation studies into future project designs and implementation
- The relative contribution of seasonal, decadal, and long-term trends in climate should be presented more clearly to better inform strategic decisions.
- Information should be integrated into decision-making platforms, thus making it easier to use.
- Partnerships between climate scientists and disaster risk managers should be encouraged and enhanced.
The report was published by IRI in partnership with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the United Nations' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

I think I am in love with butterflies, yes and I have been doing a little DTP (Direct to Paper) colouring my cardstock to totally co-ordinate. It just makes things so much easier. A long time ago I said that I only needed white paper, now I remember why.
See I am starting to use my dies much more creatively, the digi is matted onto two ornate frame (middle part of cut) pieces placed side by side and the border of the frames creates the white scroll pieces. Dies are from Quickuts Christmas Collection and Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic ovals. This little digi is created by me and it will be offered as a freebie for you to use. I am new to the world of making digis, so let me know if I am up to scratch or not please.
I spent some time a while back experimenting with ribbon and lace flowers with a lot of mixed results. This is one of those flowers made from sheer polka dot ribbon with gold cord behind and beads added to it. I thought it was perfect for this card with the same ribbon threaded through the Fiskars border punch Leave it to Weaver. And a hat pin of course.
Here is a full view of the card with all elements of the border, embossing and embellishments. Looks very delicate and sweet.
Again I have only used the Martha Stewart border punch on part of the background panel. This one is Swirling Lace. This panel is embossed with Swiss Dots by Sizzix, the bottom panel is embossed with Sizzix Autumn leaves by Rachael Bright and DTP inked around the page with Colorbox Fluid Chalk ink in Pastel Pink from the catseye making inking easy. Butterflies are punched. I really need to get a pretty filigree butterfly punch, just a little one.
Thanks for coming to have a look, hope you like it!!
Hugs Lauren ♥♥
I love to hear your opinions so please leave me a comment, thank you!

"It's easy, after all, not to be a writer. Most people aren't writers and very little harm comes to them."
~Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot
This quote always makes me chuckle! Plus: so true. I mean, isn't it so much easier not to write? Easier to find time to get to that housework, easier to convince yourself that the fridge has been empty long enough that you should probably go grocery shopping, easier to stay on top of everything else in your life. There's more time for family, friends, movies, books, sleep. Plus, then you don't have to cry because of something that happened to one of your characters.
But, but, but. But then there wouldn't be the joy that comes from writing. That high you get when you nail a scene. That crazy humming powerful feeling your heart when you bring a character to life. When you bring a world to life. When you create something out of nothing that feels so very real and tangible that you're constantly surprised that it isn't a real place. That they aren't real people. That the things that happened to them didn't make the news. That you can't go there or talk to them outside of your head.
And that makes it worth giving up the things in life that don't really matter. It makes it worth being more efficient and organized to not give up the things in life that really do matter.
Because who needs easy when we've got something as powerful as writing?

Have a fabulous writing weekend, everyone!

Johannesburg – We don't think we've ever seen water as blue as in these pics shared by TV star Amanda Du-Pont.
The actress headed all the way to the Maldives in celebration of her 30th birthday, and the snaps she's been sharing are what dreams are made of.
"What a dream! God knew I needed this year to be a turn around… Calling it the turn around 30! This year my life has been a turn around. He has elevated me to spaces and levels only his grace could do. And in turn increased my faith. I'm just so grateful for the gift of life," she captioned a pic of herself having breakfast by the ocean.

This is another challenge layout from a Scrap Chicks summer challenge. We only have an hour and 20 minutes to make the layout and get it posted online. I totally started late again :) but I still managed to get it posted just in time. Now, the pencil marks I used for my circles still need to be erased, and I'm sure I'll have to go back and add more to it because it's just not one of my layouts unless I go crazy on it, but here it is :)
I do really like the sketch and I think I'll be using it again!

Email being bounced is a problem that is not confined to any specific email service, but every email service faces this problem. If you are using RR email and facing email bouncing issue, then check out the top reasons behind the issue in order to get an idea as to how to get rid of it.
With more than 30 million emails being bounced every day, it is a matter of concern for email service providers and email users to ensure the safety of their email accounts and the emails that are sent. There could be different reasons behind email being bounced such as bad internet, webmail not working or server error. If you are using Roadrunner email and dealing with email bouncing error, then here is what you can do.
Soft Bounce
This is a temporary problem, which exists within the recipient email address. Soft bounce could result in delays in the email delivery, but the message will be delivered to the recipient's email address once the unknown issue is resolved.
Hard Bounce
This is the most prevalent kind of issue, which permanently bars the delivery of emails into the recipient's email address. You won't be able to send emails to the receivers if their addresses are removed from the database.
Different reasons that result in email bouncing problem are discussed below:
1. Invalid email entered while opt-in process: This mistake occurs at the user end. When they enter the wrong email address in the recipient's list, then it leads to such a problem. Entering invalid email is one of the most common reasons as to why email bounces.
2. Sending IP address is blocked: Another reason as to why email bounced is due to the blocked IP address. If your internet service provider has blocked your IP, then you will not be able to send emails to your contacts. Reason for your IP getting blocked is the sending of spam emails from your email account.
3. Email blocked by server: If your contact's email server blocks your emails, then this issue can occur. The reason why your email could be blocked is oversize emails, spam emails or wrong file format attached within the email. The sender address needs to be the same as that of the address entered in 'from' email address. Also, check the images and text format prior to sending emails.
4. Receiving service overloaded or unavailable: There is a certain limit as to how many emails can be stored in the inbox of the email account, and if your email account is filled with emails, then you will have to delete some of your old emails. There could also be a slew of traffic in the server at the receiver end.
5. Email blocked by the receiver(s): If one of your contacts block your email, then you will not be able to send that contact any email. That email will be bounced back into your email account in 'Unsent' folder.
These are the top reasons as to why your email can bounce. So, keep these aforementioned factors in mind to prevent email from bouncing back into your email account. However, if you are still seeing your emails getting back into your own email ID, then you can get in touch with RR Com Login support providers.

Many business executives are increasingly becoming workaholic human-doings, longing to be full and integrated human-beings. They aspire to live with integrity, where their thoughts, values, words and deeds are in harmony. The problem is that they don't know how to do so in a business world that is increasingly characterised by complexity, turbulence and greed.
Leading with Wisdom provides food for thought for people dealing with these challenges. It contains stories and reflections of 31 inspiring and compassionate business leaders who care about what is truly important in life and who integrate this awareness and sensitivity into their leadership. Leaders who search for meaning, purpose and fulfilment both in the external world of business and in the internal world of consciousness and conscience. Leaders whose leadership is a natural expression of their hearts, minds and souls. In other words, leaders who lead from a spiritual basis.
Such perspectives on leadership are not yet mainstream. Greed, prestige and power appear to still be prime motivating forces for leaders of the world's larger corporations. In spite of 25 years of globalisation, poverty is still devastatingly ubiquitous in many parts of the world. In striking contrast, the compensation packages of top leaders in business, particularly in the West, have skyrocketed, reaching levels that would have been considered impossible only a decade ago. What is clearly needed is a change in the mind-set, values and principles of our leaders, as well as of those who finance our enterprises, and of those who teach and mentor our future leaders. At the very minimum, what is needed is an expansion of the concept of 'success' so that it transcends the prevailing myopic focus on short-term financial gains.
It can be argued that this rampant greed is gradually being tamed, not just by laws, but also by social and ethical norms. In the last two decades there has been an amazing and uplifting focus on such perspectives as business ethics, corporate social responsibility and sustainability. But when leaders are questioned as to why they and their organisations should promote this new and expanded sensitivity to corporate responsibility, their 'default' answer typically is that it is profitable – an efficacious means to promote classical business ends of increasing earnings and share prices.
But how and why should such an expanded concept of leadership develop? What should provide the motivation for our leaders to find their way in an increasingly complex business world by using a compass that points not only to a pot of gold, but also to a path to deeper meaning and purpose in business? This book does not provide answers in the form of proposals as to new rules or laws or moral injunctions. Rather it provides a collage of perspectives in the form of stories of highly respected and successful executives who have integrated their spiritual search into their leadership so as to be "whole" people – leaders whose thoughts, words and deeds are in harmony with their most fundamental truths and longings, both at work and in their private lives. These stories tell of an emerging culture where business becomes a primary domain for both individual and organisational spiritual growth.

NEW YORK (OCN) — "Hey Doc! Are You Kidney Me?" might be the phrase used by Dawnell Batista.
Mrs. Batista, a mother of three and wife of Dr. Richard Batista, 49, is being sued for $1.5 million by her husband who practices at Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC).
NUMC was the hospital that Officer Kenneth Baribault spent almost 60 days after he was rushed there on Sunday, May 18, 2008 after an auto accident following a routine traffic stop on the Long Island Expressway (LIE).
At NUMC, it was discovered Officer Kenneth Baribault had suffered spine, hip and head trauma but thanks to the medical staff and technology at NUMC, Officer Baribault is still with us today.

Toda tau functions with quantum torus symmetriesMathematical Physics & Probability
|Kanehisa Takasaki, Kyoto University
|Start time:
|Wed, Mar 30 2011, 4:10PM
The quantum torus algebra plays an important role in a special class of solutions of the Toda hierarchy. Typical examples are the solutions related to the melting crystal model of topological strings and 5D SUSY gauge theories. The quantum torus algebra is realized by a 2D complex free fermion system that underlies the Toda hierarchy, and exhibits mysterious "shift symmetries". This talk is based on collaboration with Toshio Nakatsu.

The Senate has called on the United Nations to investigate the killing of nine Nigerian citizens, which occurred in a double air strikes on a detention centre outside Tripoli, Libya.
The Senate made the call, following the adoption of a motion on the death of the nine Nigerian migrants in Libya.
The motion was sponsored by Senator Barau Jibrin and 36 other senators.
Jibrin, while presenting the motion, said the death of the nine Nigerians occurred following the attack, which was carried out on the hapless migrant civilians.
He said the death toll from the air strike on centre has been reviewed to 53 from 44 while more bodies were still being pulled out of the rubble, indicating that the count has not stopped.
Barau said that report indicates that refuges and migrants were directly fired by guards as they tried to escape, which resulted in the death of nine Nigerians.
He said that the strike was the second time that the Tajore detention centre, which houses around 600 migrants, was hit during the ongoing conflict.
He said that the detention of migrants from Nigeria and other Sub-Sharan African countries to Europe was not the answer to the protection of people on the move.
The senator said alternative and sustainable solutions must be developed to protect the vulnerable migrants.
He said the air strike on migrants' detention centre that led to the killing of Nigerians has sparked international outcry.
Senators, who lend their voice on the motion, condemned the killing in its entirety.
The senate, consequently, resolved to call on the UN to investigate the killing, find out the perpetrators of the dastardly act and bring them to justice.
The senate also urged the Libyan government to immediately release the refuges and migrants from detention centres and relocate them to safe shelter.
The senate also commended the Federal Government for its effort on the reparation of Nigerian migrants from Libya.
It further urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to continue the repatriation of the remaining Nigerian citizens in Libyan detention camps.

The seafood department at A&P has been rebranded as the Great Atlantic Seafood Market. The company's new seafood brand will work with a slogan "So Fresh, So Healthy and So Easy." A&P made the announcement late last week in Montvale, New Jersey.
North Coast Seafood will be the source of many of the products for the new brand Great Atlantic Seafood Market. The department is open at Waldbaum's, Pathmark, Superfresh and A&P. The department will have more emphasis on product and service knowledge.
A&P communications manager Joanne Fischetti said that the staff has been trained to clean, season, as well as steam the orders made by customers. The training also includes providing in-depth knowledge on the products and the variety of seafood that the company will be offering. The associates can also advise clients on how they can prepare the seafood and provide them with some recipes they can try at home.
Crain's New York Business reported that A&P is expected to announce a deal selling off the Food Emporium stores it runs. Sixteen Manhattan stores are said to have been offered to several bidders, but the final agreement would be announced this week. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea company, A&P's full name, was founded by George Gilman and George Huntington Hartford in 1859. At the time, it sold coffee and tea, but introduced sugar later in 1880 and eventually other products.
At its peak some time 1930s, the retailer had 16,000 store locations. In 2011, the retailer had 338 locations. The company operates under the following brands; A&P Warehouse Liquors, Pathmark, Food Emporium, Best Cellars, Food Basics, Superfresh, Foodmart, A&P Foodmarket, Superfoodmart and Waldbaums.

Supporting macOS Mojave's Dark Mode on the web. There's been a bit of chat around this since Mojave dropped, but as I don't personally use Mojave, it's not something I've been able to play around with yet. I'm also not sure how many people it would actually be necessary for – like, what's the uptake on using Dark Mode? – but it does look pretty simple to do, and I don't know how much longer I can keep pressing 'Try again tomorrow' on those OS update prompts, so I'll probably be giving this a go soon.
HTML, CSS and our vanishing industry entry points by Rachel Andrew. One of those pieces I found myself wanting to quote in full here… you should just go and read it.
This constant wheel reinvention is something we seem to be wired to do. We can be optimistic and hope that good things fall out of it, but so often what is left is a mess. Teams find themselves with projects that no-one has the skills to fix, due to them being based on a toolchain that only a few people understand how to use. Businesses are handed websites by external agencies, using a technology that quickly falls out of favour, and when they want an update the next contractor looks at it, and suggests a rebuild.
… those [new] tools output HTML and CSS in the end. It is the bedrock of everything that we do, which makes the devaluing of those with real deep skills in those areas so much more baffling.
Preach! I've always been the type of FED who actively wants to learn new things and I think it's totally necessary (and unavoidable) to utilise new technologies where you can on projects, but definitely not at the expense of forgetting (or worse – not even learning) the basics. I say 'basics' but there's nothing basic about it – I suppose I mean 'essentials'. There's still so much value in working with those core technologies and it'd be such a shame if the route in gets obscured by [insert generic build process]. Notepad and the <marquee> tag is how I ended up doing what I do.
Whether front or backend, many of us without a computer science background are here because of the ease of starting to write HTML and CSS. The magic of seeing our code do stuff on a real live webpage! We have already lost many of the entry points that we had.
Listening to
99% Invisible 342: Beneath the Ballpark. It's really weird to me that it's even considered possible to just move a team from one place to another – like here, with the L.A. Dodgers formally being known as the Brooklyn Dodgers. It's one thing getting a new stadium a few miles away, but that's about as far as physically possible. Just start a new team, surely(?) But hey, it happens, and how it happened is quite interesting – with knock on effects on the local community that would resonate for decades to come.
O'Malley [the team owner] thought he saw a vast empty stretch of land from the helicopter, but what he was really seeing were the last bits of a community that had existed there since the early 1900s.
For a long time, it was a neighborhood full of life. "It was very colorful … the ladies had colorful birds," remembers former Chavez Ravine resident, Carol Jacques. "That's what would wake us up — canaries in the morning, singing. It was just a very colorful community"
Killing Eve & Russian Doll. Found myself binging through both of those series and enjoying them both thoroughly.
Some crime. I did a CluedUpp event at the weekend, which turned out to be the perfect excuse to skulk around Bournemouth in the sun. Think of it as an escape room but out in the open, and not as difficult, but lasting longer. There was a Peaky Blinders theme which is ultimately inconsequential but did mean that I was decked out in authentic Peaky Blinder clobber. That's the last time I'll ever wear that hat. It was definitely fun – I'd be up for doing another but in a town that I'm not familiar with… as a prompt to explore, it's great.

Arrest made in Houston teen's gang death
Houston police say a mob of youths beat the victim before he was stabbed by a teenage girl
Houston police arrested a 15-year-old girl tonight in the stabbing death Tuesday of a boy who police said was the victim of a rival gang.
"They did arrest a 15-year old suspect. She has been arrested," HPD spokesman Alvin Wright said late Wednesday. He identified the girl as a suspect in the death of Gabriel Granillo. She was arrested at her home.
Meanwhile, police stepped up patrols in the neighborhood surrounding a Montrose park where Granillo, identified as having a gang affiliation, was beaten and fatally stabbed by rival gang members.
Officials are concerned that Granillo's death may spark episodes of violent retaliation at Ervan Chew Park, a popular neighborhood park in the 4500 block of Dunlavy, "even though we believe this (killing) to be an isolated incident," HPD Capt. Dwayne Ready said.
Granillo identified by police as being 14 but whose family say is 15, was with two unidentified youths, including at least one thought to be a gang member, when they were ambushed at 2:30 p.m. at the park, HPD detectives said.
On Tuesday, police said they thought Granillo was in a gang, but on Wednesday said he was "affiliated" with a gang. The teen's family said today that he was linked with MS-13, which began in Los Angeles among Central American immigrants and now has tens of thousands of members spread throughout Latin American and the United States.
About 20 to 30 members, primarily Hispanic, of a rival gang surrounded Granillo and attacked with several weapons, including baseball bats, tire irons and golf clubs.
The motive for the slaying remains unknown but investigators think the attack was planned. Because the larger group approached Granillo and the other teens from two sides, Ready said the assault appeared to be premeditated.
"This wasn't just one of your random crimes of opportunity," Ready said.
Although police have characterized the slaying as an ambush, a witness saw Granillo arrive at the park with a baseball bat in hand. Within minutes, he said, friends joined Granillo and the two other boys.
The witness, who did not want to be identified, said the two groups chased each other across the park several times before running into a nearby neighborhood, where they smashed out car windows and slashed through tires. The scene lasted "an intense 10 minutes," the witness said.
"It just kept going back and forth," the witness recalled. "It was like they were fighting over the park."
After he was stabbed, Granillo stumbled about halfway through the park before collapsing near a sidewalk..
"It looked like he tripped over his own feet. He fell down and he never got up," the teenage witness said. "People were just running by him."
Police had described the person who stabbed Granillo as a 16- to 17-year-old white female, about 5-feet-5 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. She has shoulder-length blond hair and was wearing a navy blue shirt and blue jeans, police said.
"We also believe there were a couple of Hispanic females with the larger group," Ready said.
Girls in gangs 'not new'
Though some may think street-gang membership is restricted to young men, police officials said that's not the case.
"There is a misconception about gangs that they're only juvenile males," Ready said. "Having a female be a gang member is not something new. It's less common than male gang members, but not new."
Granillo's last known address, police said, was at a Houston apartment complex in the 6200 block of West Bellfort, more than 10 miles from the park. It wasn't clear why he and the two others were at the park at the time, Ready said.
The two youths with Granillo are cooperating with investigators, Ready said.
"They have obtained some information (but) I can't go into the details," he said.
Some of the youths who attacked Granillo wore clothes with Lamar High School insignia but police didn't know whether they were students.
"I can't say with any certainty what high school they go to," Ready said. "I can only tell you with certainty that some of the individuals involved had attire that indicated Lamar High School on it."
School's gang policy
Students at Lamar High School say there are several youth gangs on campus.
"I see a lot of them wearing their colors and stuff," said Yousef Qutob, 16, a junior. "I don't see too many problems or too many fights, but I do see them throwing up gang signs."
Other students say they feel safe because administrators have cracked down on suspicious activity — including sending fighting students to alternative schools and ordering outsiders off campus.
"This school is very safe. They're really strict," Oyuki Lopez, 17, said. "Once they find out you're doing something bad, that's it — you're gone."
Lopez was disappointed that some of her fellow students may have been involved in the fatal fight, which happened less than 30 minutes after the first day of summer school dismissed.
"It's like they're fighting over the stupidest things you can think of," Lopez said.
HISD spokesman Terry Abbott would not comment about suspected gang activity at Lamar High or whether any students may have been involved in the ambush. "I can only say that our police increased patrols in the area," Abbott said.
Harris County Constables beefed up patrols and were circling the campus Wednesday afternoon, alongside district and city police officers.
"We're simply developing leads and we'll go wherever they lead us," Ready said.
Anyone with information is asked to call HPD at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
