Gummo (From a Dream)
I saw you on TV lastnight
tall and skinnyextra nervous
your off-set fashion
you were talking with David Letterman
(who wouldn't listen)
you kept looking away grimacing
you mention Ulysses and Snoop Dogg
I felt like calling or driving
to your apartment and no-talking
I just wanted you to know
he was trying to be nice
maybe you knew
he didn't get you
but the likeness wasn't perfect
maybe it wasn't you
he displayed his hair and his face
you are much more socially adept
still there you were
sitting in your brownpantsuit
and redsweatervest
talking about taped bacon
I just thought you'd want to know
sometimes I see your handwriting in my stereo cabinet
sometimes I hear you standing with hands on your hips
sometimes I forget I can't drink Kool-Aid anymore

Scent Stained
You are the mistake I want to make
I will wrap myself in your red flags
and let you peel them off
one silk layer at a time
You are the regret I want to have
I'll bind you in my caution tape
lay on a bed of warning signs
cold metal against warm skin
cools your burning in my eyes
You are the fucked up mess
I want to roll around in
like a mud happy dog
drenched in your scent
I will not shake you out
How do you unsense me?
(First published in East Jasmine Review)

Alaska wild-caught salmon is definitely in fashion these days — one need only get a load of what Copper River salmon commands for price to understand that. But now the word is the state's prized fish has the opportunity to become fashion.
According to Alaska Dispatch, salmon skin is being fashioned into leather. And it's being used to make all sorts of products — shoes, wallets, handbags, jackets, pants and dresses.
"There is a large demand for it," Sabah Coles, who works in Germany-based manufacturer Nanai's newly opened Los Angeles office, told the Dispatch. "It's used for iPhone covers, motorcycle seats, and has been used for golf gloves, shoes, wall panels, lamps and book binding — anything that you can do with regular leather."
Check out the pics of some of these creations. http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/could-demand-salmon-leather-spawn-new-cottage-industry-alaska (Note to self: Do not let girlfriend see the shoes. Her Shoe Shrine is already obscenely large.) Not only are salmon leather products in demand, they are being touted as being eco-friendly. Salmon leather, the story says, is considered "a sustainable material derived from the natural bio-waste of salmon processing."
Well, here's to you Alaska salmon. You're delicious, nutritious and will soon be gracing the runways of Paris, Milan and New York.
The Northeast Trawl Advisory Panel working group is scheduled to meet Aug. 2 in Boston to discuss using commercial fishing vessels to supplement current stock assessment surveys conducted by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center.Read more...

"How a Mind Tinkers Itself Apart"
I am offering this mainly as a quick, dissenting opinion. Having finished the book a week ago, I find that surprisingly little lingers in my mind. Undoubtedly Kurzweil (such an ironic name, given his passion for immortality) has an explanation for this in units of Shannon entropy. I am actually sympathetic to Kurzweil's post-humanist ambitions and mechanical modeling. It's nice to have a stream of books by such an ambitious techno-provocateur. But unless you are planning to tinker together a mind in your garage workshop, the book can be a little tedious. There is a lot about "pattern recognition" in the neocortex, which is not exactly news. We hear about "neuron firing" speeds and networks, about exponential rates of change and phase shifts, which again did not generate any "Aha" moments in this listener's mind. While Kurzweil trots out a few philosophers for refutation, the many philosophical and common-sensical objections against a physical analysis of consciousness are largely swept under the rug. As a visionary technologist with many knowledgeable admirers, Kurzweil has perhaps earned the right to tout (once again) his many correct predictions, though I don't know if anyone is keeping track of the hindsight factor. Still, his confidence reminds me of those brief, brilliant historical moments (the Vienna logical positivists; particle physics just prior to quantum theory) when thinkers felt certain they had finally drained the bogs of metaphysics, only to find paradoxes bubbling back up and themselves sucked back down. If you are a Kurzweil fan, by all means, enjoy. If you are building a brain in the basement, you may prefer the printed text. If you want an audiobook with fresh insights into the philosophy of mind or an ingenious new model of consciousness, you may find this disappointingly dry, bogless, and shallow. But easy on the ears: the reading is very good.
Want to learn why Siri is so accurate at natural speech recognition? You will be amazed at just how far our understanding of the brain has gone. We really are approaching a time where computers will become intelligent and learn just like humans. Wow!
Yes. It is a very deep topic, but fascinating and I found I could not put it down.
"enlightening and humorous"
educational, humorous, exponential. Ray keeps on with his prediction assuming exponential growth and details how the mind can soon be surpassed with technology
"Interesting, but author is full of himself."
The author is full of himself. A lot of '...in 19bladiebla I did this, predicted that, I've discovered this, I founded this or that company..
Something else of the author Nick Bostrom, after his great and very thrilling "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies"
Not at all a problem with him.
Dissappointment and anger: cut to the core!
His ideas felt somewhat old, not quite right ...
"The inspired dream"
Sure, there's a lot of fantastical thinking and timing here - but this is a great book and Ray Kurzweil is a great man... Just read it and have your very precious, one-off mind expanded. I loved the idea that one's sense of self/consciousness could somehow slowly be transferred bit by byte to a digital system, as improbable as it sounds, it's such an interesting idea among many herein.
Kurzweil's latest book is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in brain science, computer science, philosophy, and/or the future of the human race. As someone interested in all these, I was riveted and transfixed by the book, and sad when I reached its end. While I'd have loved to hear Ray Kurzweil narrate the audiobook himself, the reader did an excellent job (except for consistently mispronouncing John Von Neumann's last name...it's NOY-man, not NEW-man). Very highly recommended!
"Good book"
An enjoyable and exciting read. My only criticism is that if I received a nickel for every time the word "pattern" was said, I'd have enough money to pay for the book many times over. Other than that I would recommend the read.
One of the most important books of our time which I consider a must read for anyone who wants to stay up not only with technological developments but also the future of what it means to be a human.
Provided a great intro into machine learning by examining the past and postulating the future.
Ray Kurzweil is an eternal optimist when it comes to the marriage of humanity and information technology. I hope his vision for AI comes true.

WHILE Royal Navy ships protect the London Olympics others have rushed to prevent a pirate attack in the Middle East.
The minehunters HMS Middleton and HMS Pembroke were in the Gulf of Aden on their way home when they received a distress call from the MV New Delhi Express on July 27th. The 40,000-tonne merchant ship, laden with valuable containers, contacted HMS Middleton to say she was 12 miles to the south west and had suffered an engine failure. That meant she was an easy target for the pirates who operate in the gulf between Somalia and Yemen. Monsoon rains in the Indian Ocean mean pirates favour the more sheltered Gulf between June and August, so Middleton and Pembroke sailed as quickly as possible to protect the drifting ship.
Having made contact with the vessel the warships readied their weapons and maintained a patrol around her for several hours, protecting her crew and cargo against potential attack until she had fixed her engines and was able to continue north. HMS Middleton's commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Steve Higham, said: "The threat from piracy in the Gulf of Aden is real and present.
"MV New Delhi Express, disabled and without power, was a potential prime target for pirates. Middleton and Pembroke responded immediately to provide assistance when called by her master, and were able to offer protection whilst he completed his repair. Our small contribution to maintaining the safety of the maritime community shows the value and flexibility of the Royal Navy's mine hunting community." Navies from dozens of countries work together through the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean to try and prevent cargo vessels being hijacked by pirates in small craft such as skiffs.
The Royal Navy has several mine-hunting ships permanently based in Bahrain, where crews work in the warmer waters which provide a different training environment compared to UK waters. HMS Pembroke and HMS Middleton were returning to Britain when Friday's incident happened having spent two and a half years working in the Middle East. Meanwhile HMS Ocean and HMS Bulwark are currently based in London and Weymouth respectively as part of the UK's security set-up for the Olympics.

Lakers sign Shawne Williams
Forward Shawne Williams, who fit in well with Coach Mike D'Antoni's system in New York, signed a free agent deal with the Lakers on Tuesday, the team announced. He is expected to make the veteran's minimum of $1.2 this season, if he makes the team.
Williams had the best year of career during the 2010-11 season, while playing for D'Antoni's Knicks. A defensive specialist, he hit 40.1 percent of his three-point attempts in 64 games that season and is expected to compete with Elias Harris for playing time, should he make the squad.
Williams has not played a game since being sidelined because of a foot injury in February 2012. The Nets traded him a month later to Portland, which eventually waived him.
The latest signing gives the Lakers 13 players who are under contract. Draft pick Ryan Kelly, who is recovering from foot surgery, has yet to sign.Teams generally like to carry 15 players.

Toronto's newest Hip Hop sensation came to NYC to pay homage and show his skills with Funk Flex. Loved his positive energy and how he came ready!
We've done a few of these now, Starting it off with Pro Era's own Nyck Caution(killed it), then YG did something off his album, Pro Era general Joey Badass came back to reignite it, the dope MC Young M.A. also did right, and Now we took it uptown, Highbridge the Bronx to be exact!!! A Boogie with the Hoodie and Don Q def dropped some bars!!
Sometimes I have to look up to the sky and Thank God for the fact that I get paid to produce the best radio show in hip hop, especially when we get to these freestyles!! When an up and coming rapper like Young M.A. comes through and shows her passion in those bars on a beat like 'What We Do'(Freeway), I know it's going to be a good night!!
We can't Thank DigitalTrends.com, Keith Nelson Jr, PhotoRob, and Shawn for coming down to Hot97 and interview Flighty, and myself about what's going on in the digital space from the hip hop perspective(or at least how we see it!)!!
IFWT'S own Funk Flex had the crowd moving at Summer Jam.
Ya'll been asking for this, and we've decided to make it happen!! Flex is known for having the best freestyle sessions in the game, and that hasn't happened in a while because some of the popular rappers are not necessarily spitters… well we're back at it and yes it's all about the spitters!
Yesterday marked the 19th year since we lost the Notorious B.I.G. Lil Kim got a chance to chop it up with Funk Master Flex as she shared some rather juicy details.

Almost everyone has a Twitter and constantly tweets everyday. Twitter is a a place where you can read about what celebrities are doing and which celebrities have beef with each other. Like Drake said "trigger fingers turn into Twitter fingers."

But Funk Master Flex is taking home the crown this year because he is the top celebrity tweeter of 2015! Check out the rest of the story after the jump.

Could Kobe jump overseas?
Art Thompson III, a longtime reporter for the Register, went out and found a world-traveling basketball player to find out if it's realistic that Kobe Bryant could walk away from the NBA if some European team paid him $50 million.
Jason Crowe, once a teammate of Paul Pierce at Inglewood High, says yes it is.
Kobe's poorly timed statement about leaving has a lot of NBA fans wondering if the league's stars could disappear from their favorite team.

From hand-crafted pasta to rich tomato sauce, Riviera Ristorante Italiano makes dishes with real Italian flavor.
At Riviera, they make delicious hand-crafted pasta specialties, like traditional Italian dishes like Baked Ziti, Fettuccine Alfredo, Lasagna, Ravioli or Manicotti. They also have Italian pasta dishes that are a bit more unusual, like Penne Amatriciana and Conchiglie al Formagio.

At Riviera Ristorante Italiano, it's almost like taking a trip to Italy, where you can enjoy the nest veal, chicken, seafood and pasta dishes. And it's right here in Reamtown at 1405 North Reading Road.
The menu has many choices. Riviera has one of the largest selections of veal dishes, or in Italian "vitello." There are choices that include Vitello alla Marsala in a rich marsala with mushrooms, or Vitello alla Piccata, which is a lemon butter sauce with capers. You can also savor Vitello Parmigiana, Vitello Scaloppini and more.
The chicken and seafood selection is equally impressive, and includes chicken entrees like Pollo Cacciatore in a sauce with fresh mushrooms, olives, peppers, capers and onions, as well as Pollo Alfredo with a creamy cheese sauce. One of the most popular seafood dishes is the Frutti di Mare with an array of scallops, clams, shrimp and crabmeat.The casual fare is even more extensive, with dozens of sandwiches, strombolis, stuffed pizzas, Silician pizza, Neapolitan pizza and specialty pizzas like bruschetta pizza and taco pizza. There are hot subs like cheesesteaks and cheeseburger subs, as well as cold subs like Italian subs and veggie subs. You could eat a different sub everyday for almost two months! Riviera Ristorante Italiano is a great place for a romantic dinner for two, a big family gathering or getting together with friends. There is a full bar with cocktails, wine and beer. The skylights, terra cotta tile oor, Italian tile work, granite accents and warm color scheme make it welcoming for lunch, dinner or evening snacks with appetizers like calamari and bruschetta.

Business and couple reasons.Very nice manager.
This hotel clearly should be taken off the hotels.com, this place is a true disgrace. Reasons, as follows: false advertisement - no wifi, "continental" breakfast is a joke (one type of cereal and no milk! Plus some conserves from cold war leftovers, literally - no food),room is not getting warm enough even after an hour, bathroom is a fridge, front desk is rude and greedy (I see why - the best defence is an attack, but why me?), illegal charges on my credit card (why do I have to deal with that? It was paid in advance through hotels.com!) - well, still not cleared as of now. One more thing - they have a renovation contractors working (even thou it will be mercy killing to demolish this rathole and build the new one over), and they start early morning, so forget about morning resting, and watch out for pieces of closets and roof flying over your head when you exit! it almost happend to us.Resume: It sucks. They charging ninety (90!) bucks with taxes for this? And yet not enough, they still want your credit card "for accidents" - and illigally charging it right when you leave thinking you'll be far away or too busy to deal with it when you out. And can anybody explain the front desk person that we're NOT in Pakistan or Bangladesh of 19th century? Really, anybody?
It was terrible service was horrible room was filthy disgusting. TV did not work. Dirty bedding, condom on floor
The room was comfortable, yet when a kid was running outside (I was on the second floor) the room was shaking. Yet my stay was relaxing and the room for breakfast was nice and clean.
Summary: Would be ok if it were half the price. Would have preferred paying more and staying somewhere else though. Motel looks like it is half closed for repair, and has been for a while. Outside carpets are all discolored and stained, the stairwell and ice room were both very dirty, with discoloration on the walls, dust everywhere, and bad odors. The room itself looked like a bad dorm room. Comforters were both visibly stained. There was dust along almost everything. The bathroom grout was all discolored from either mold or mildew. Water pressure and temperature was unsatisfactory in the mornings. Neighborhood was very run down. Included breakfast was very, very basic, and did not look fresh or appetizing, so we skipped it. Wifi was pretty slow as well, so I opted to just use my phone instead. OH! Forgot to mention, we stayed on the 2nd floor and the floor boards were *very* creaky, like I was afraid something was wrong. I actually received a call 10 minutes after I got there - it was the front desk, asking if I was moving furniture around, because the people below were complaining about the noise. I was literally walking around the room unpacking. Plus, I just remembered that the toilet was clogged, so they handed me a plunger.

Taurus (April 20- May 20)
Your July Horoscope by Susan Miller
Astrology Zone the Show from Television Four on Vimeo.
By Susan Miller
Life is improving every day, dear Taurus. The first day, July 1, brings a hopeful sign - Venus, your ruler, will be in magical angle to Jupiter, the great good fortune planet. This will link love to travel, so as July opens, consider a taking a long weekend trip. I will explain why I feel a trip would be so very good for you this month.
On July 4, you have a new moon in Cancer at 13 degrees that will light your third house of short, quick travel. Accompanying that elegant new moon will be the Sun, Venus, and Mercury, all in Cancer, a water sign that blends perfectly to your earth-sign Sun of Taurus. A location that includes lush greenery in a beautiful mountainous setting would be the perfect place for you now. With Cancer strong, be sure the setting is located near water as well - put those together and you have the makings of a sumptuous getaway. Cancer is a family sign, perfect for bringing your partner and children - you will find them cute as can be, even if they are older now!
Associated with this new moon will be Jupiter and Mars, both highly supportive of the new moon, bringing you outstanding chances for romance and fun. Jupiter is still in Virgo, making you the sign most likely to fall in love or thoroughly enjoy love (at least until September 9, the date when Jupiter will leave this placement). If you have already found your one true love, you can deepen your relationship. It matters not if you are single or married, dating a short time or a long time - every Taurus will benefit from this new moon, as long as you travel. (No need to go far!) All new moons open a window of opportunity that last ten days or more, and might affect you for a year or more - delightfully so. The way astrology works best is to make an effort to use the goodness behind the new moon.
If your birthday falls on May 3, plus or minus five days, this new moon will be speaking directly to you. This would also be true if you have Taurus rising 13 degrees, or a natal planet of that degree in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, or Taurus, all plus or minus five degrees. If you know your chart and fall within those mathematical guidelines, then the chances are you will be packing your bags.
I will admit that Uranus will be in hard angle to the crowd of planets in Cancer on the new moon July 4, so we all have to expect Uranus to throw something into the spanner that will require quick thinking (this is true for every sign). The unexpected event might have something to do with your career - for example, you might have to save a deal or project that will be rolling off the rails, or it might be that mechanical problems related to electronics, computers, or the moving parts of a machine will need your attention. Try as you may, it is almost never possible to guess what Uranus, planet of unanticipated events, is about to bring up.
I have meditated about the meaning of this Uranus, and I feel that the cosmos has a plan for us and interjects Uranus' unpredictability so that we will learn to become resourceful, flexible, agile, and creative when we meet up with obstacles we don't expect. When Uranus is well aspected, we get unexpected help. That won't happen in the first half of July - you'll have to roll up your sleeves and think your way out of the situation, but the point is that you can.
Just days after the new moon, we have a lovely day coming up, when Venus in Cancer will be in ideal angle to Mars in Scorpio, both beautifully angled to your love and commitment houses. This day will exert just the right level of electricity to make a first meeting memorable and romantic. It will also help other Taurus who just want more fun with their partners. This is a warm and sexy vibration, just made for you.
I also love July 8, when Mercury will receive golden beams from Jupiter, an ideal day to sign a contract, making an agreement, and again, for travel. (I know I say this over and over that you should plan a getaway this month! I can't help it - the stars have a plan for you now, and it is very clear!) Mercury rules your solar second house of income, so you may get very good news about a sum of money that will be due to you now or soon.
The weekend of June 9-10 should be heavenly. Jupiter, the good fortune planet, will work with the Sun to bring on a highly romantic time. This is a somewhat rare aspect, especially because Pluto is about to add his gifts to Jupiter too, still within range of an aspect these two planets made on June 26. Pluto and Jupiter creep across the sky. (Pluto takes 258 years to circle the Sun, so you can imagine.) The moon will be in Virgo, a fellow earth sign, and on July 9, that moon will join with Jupiter in your fifth house of love. It's hard to imagine a more stunning, happy weekend for love.
More travel is indicated later in the month, for on July 19 at the full moon in Capricorn, you will have the chance to journey quite far and love it even more than the first trip. In fact, because this is a full moon in Capricorn 28 degrees, it can bring a finish to your travels within four days after the date the full moon appears. The trip you take later, to a more distant location, appears to be for work, such as to see a client to generate profits. Generous Jupiter will be in elegant angle to the lunation protecting your finances. If you are doing import-export, or any international work, the way things go should please you. If you have a middleman, such as an agent or broker to represent you, that person will watch out for your interests. If you decide to go for a romantic trip instead, that, too, will work out really well.
If your birthday falls on May 18 plus or minus four days, you will feel the powerful, uplifting effect of this full moon. Similarly, if you have Taurus rising 28 degrees (or close to that degree), or a natal planet or moon at 28 degrees (plus or minus five degrees) in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, you, too, will benefit.
Venus, your ruler, will be in Leo from July 11 to August 4, so when you come home from your travels, you will enter into an ideal time to do entertaining. This same period would be ideal for finding ways to embellish your home by adding plants or flowers, new accessories, or other touches to make it more enticing and modern.
A fantastic day for your career will be July 27 - a Wednesday - so don't be away on vacation at then. Mercury will receive an electric beam from Uranus, so good news about your career will arrive suddenly and without any warning, because Uranus is the planet of surprise.
Uranus will go retrograde on July 29, and stay retrograde until December 29. This means your very best opportunities will happen now, prior to July 29. After Uranus starts retrograding, you will be wise to look at what professional choices you have made and see what projects are on your plate now - you will have a great chance to improve on the projects already in progress.
As you end the month and start thinking about August, it appears your home will gain much more of your attention then, as a sweet new moon is set to arrive August 2. It is one of the nicest ones of the year for you to make home-related progress. In the meantime, travel, and have a good time in July for this month, travel and romance are linked.
Your love life will improve beautifully this month. If you have tried to untangle a difference of opinion with your partner in love or business, but feel you've not made much progress, you may have been hampered because Mars was retrograde. Happily, Mars has recently turned direct on June 29, and so from now on, your words will have weight, and with Jupiter in ideal angle to Mars, you can reach accord far more easily than in the past. Mars went direct on June 29, having been in lazy retrograde motion since April 17. You will love the difference.
Additionally, if you are single and hoping to find someone with whom you can build a serious love relationship, Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, is still moving energetically through your true love sector for the first time in twelve years. Jupiter is a powerful planet than can help you see your hope for love materialize, especially on Friday, July 1, when Venus will be in lovely alignment with Jupiter and also over the weekend of July 9-10 when the Sun, moon, and Jupiter will cook up amazing opportunity to find romance.
Consider taking a quick trip out of town on and just after the new moon in water-sign Cancer on July 4. That new moon will feed your intense desire to enjoy a change in environment. Chose a place near the sea or a lake; it will be even more enjoyable, for this new moon is in Cancer. Water will soothe your spirit and make you feel whole again. Taurus of every marital status can enjoy travel, for this moon will be in beautiful angle to inspirational Neptune, too, providing the possibility for glamorous romance. If you have limited time, the weekend of July 9-10, with the Sun's golden beam to Jupiter, will be your best time to go.
The first part of July seems tailor-made for short travel, but later, within four days of the full moon, July 19, you may be able to schedule a trip to a distant location. This same full moon may bring a happy culmination to a court case you may be involved in, or raves for your effort regarding a publishing or broadcasting project. Or, this full moon might help to bring a final closure to a matter involving academia and your desire to attain an advanced university degree. One of these areas could be in the spotlight and give you reason to be excited.
Romantically you have many of Cupid's angels helping you from the start of the month to July 11. On Wednesday, July 6, Venus in Cancer and Mars in super-compatible Scorpio will be in divine angles and unlock the gates for love to flow. Single or attached, this month is for you. The weekend of July 10-11, when Jupiter in Virgo will signal the Sun in Cancer, will activate your fifth house of heavenly love, and will be an extra special time for you.
It appears you will need to sign a contract - do so over July 10, when Mercury (agreements) will receive a beam from Mars (action). It's a wow of a day, when profits will flow from your actions. If I you sign a lease, you will enjoy your home for a very long time.
In terms of your career, get talks wrapped up quickly before Uranus, the ruler of your prestigious career sector, goes retrograde on July 29 through December 29, a period of five months. Every year the powerful outer planets retrograde for five months at a time, so this is not unusual. Still, you will find your best professional opportunities and cut your best career deals prior to Uranus retrograde. That means you should act with purpose the moment July takes off. July will not have the slow pace you had experienced in April, May, and June. July will be different and far more productive, so act energetically. Do not sign any papers nor agree verbally to any plan when Uranus will be in hard angle to the Sun, July 16.
Your golden day for career matters will be July 26, a Tuesday, when you should choose it to reach for something difficult to achieve. Dear Taurus, that is when you should shoot for the moon. Mercury will be in in gorgeous sync with Uranus, and you may experience an amazing career victory. Your mind will be generating ideas quickly - at the speed of light - and you may come up with a brilliant idea that brings applause from VIPs. When it happens, be sure to celebrate. Mark the moment by spontaneously inviting friends over that evening.
For Dates to Note: Please watch my July TV show broadcast. You can get your special dates, with explanation.

Previous Month's Forecast >>>
by SUSAN MILLER
Susan Miller has just finished a freshly written 75,000-word manuscript that sums up the Second Half of 2016 and looks ahead at 2017.
Susan is known to look backward and forward in time for each sign, to put the coming months you will experience in context. She feels that none of us are born new into any month or year, and so she shows you what types of influences you have already experienced, and then shows you why you have reason to be optimistic as you move forward, for the hardest part of 2016 is already behind you. Susan's warm, engaging, philosophical style and her ability to make complex astrological influences easy to understand make Susan a favorite among readers.
Says Susan, "I write for people who might never have read any astrological material before, so I stay away from technical terms that would be confusing. I want to show what astrology can do for you, including how to be happier and more successful." Susan covers love, money, career, home and real estate, family, travel, children, creativity, and more, putting special emphasis on the areas that hold the greatest potential for you.
You will learn about the coming Virgo-Pisces eclipses that will affect everyone in September 2016 and February 2017, the way the planet of good fortune, Jupiter, will shower you with opportunity, and how Saturn will show you that you have more strength and talent within you than you ever assumed possible. Susan also discusses other planets that might be affecting your particular sign. Susan never uses a cookie-cutter approach to her writing - each sign is written with a unique, custom approach, with discussion of the planets that will be influencing you the most in months to come.
You will learn about why you should plan ahead for Venus retrograde in 2017 and how Mars retrograde has been affecting you in 2016. This 300-page book is chock-full of information. Susan gives specific dates to watch, including a discussion of the Luckiest Day of the Year, coming in September, and how to use that date and other fortune dates to your advantage.
You'll know when to act and when to hold back in the second half of 2016 and in most of 2017. If your sign had a difficult time in the first half of 2016, that doesn't mean the rest of the year will be that way - the hardest part of 2016 is now behind you. Susan says, "It's as if the universe gathered up all the most sparkling aspects in 2016 in the palm of its hand, and spilled all those jewel-like days over August and September. You will see that October through early December will be very strong and special too, and that overall 2017 could be your best year yet.

Paul Duddridge is executive producer and director of my monthly TV show for Astrology Zone. Paul has just come out with a warm and funny movie called MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS with Sharon Stone, Selma Blair, Susan Sarandon, Christina Ricci, Courtney Cox, and Paul Wesley. Be sure to see it! -Susan
Here is the link to see the trailer:
MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS features interwoven stories about what it means to be a mom, which are tied together via single gal Rigby Gray, a rock photographer who's riding a career high when an unlikely and unexpected pregnancy forces her to turn her lens inward. As Rigby slowly comes to terms with what it might mean to change her life forever, she discovers with fresh eyes her own relationship with her estranged mother. Through a series of photographs documenting motherhood in all its varieties, she considers what it means to be maternal at all. Director Paul Duddridge's film is a celebration of the unparalleled love between mothers and their children and the myriad ways they connect in today's modern world.
Here is the list of theaters so far.
Apple and Google approved the upgrade to my app two weeks ago, on March 16. I loved my present app (it is under two years old), but I made changes to make it even better for you. You now have video on your app, so while you are on the go, you can view my 30-minute free TV show or my Year Ahead 2016 films that I did with Deepak Chopra.
I improved the app's navigation, upgraded the NASA photography, added more essays and articles, and made it easy for you to see appearances - the works! I also have push notification now, so when Mars or Mercury is about to retrograde, I can remind you to wrap up activities. I can also alert you to my occasional appearances. Another new feature of my new apps is that it will automatically expand or shrink to fit your other devices, whether iPad or tablet, or any size smart phone you choose, large screen or small. These newly designed applications have kept screen size in mind, allowing users with phones or tablets to get a fully optimized experience for their device screen size.
I strive to give you the best astrology app experience on the market
You will still have a free daily horoscope, or if you prefer to subscribe, you will get a significantly longer, more detailed daily horoscope. On Sundays, I write a look ahead to the week, giving you your best days to act. The long premium daily version of my app is the one most readers prefer. I write those dallies three months in advance, and you get, automatically, your 12 daily horoscopes for today and tomorrow, with yesterday's still visible. You can try out this long text premium version by subscription for $4.99 for one month (on either Google or iPhone) or $12.99 for three months (iPhone only - these companies tell us what we are allowed to offer you.)
The new applications work with iOS 7.0+ and Android OS 4.0+.
If you are already a subscriber to my app on your iPhone, the new design will just slide in to replace the old design when you update your app. If you have a Samsung Galaxy smart phone, you use the Android operating system, so you will get the new design free too. iPhone users, if you have the Apple Watch, you can read your daily forecasts on your watch, too, and Apple helpers will show you how to use Bluetooth to make that happen. There is no charge for the Watch app.
The bugs in the iPhone are all fixed. Get my app from either one of our retailers, Google Play or Apple App Store, depending on your smart phone type. Search: "Susan Miller" or "Astrologyzone" as one word. It is free, and you can decide any time if you want to try the premium subscription version.
Keep in mind that if you buy a subscription, you are purchasing a subscription to my app from Apple or Google as retailers, not from us at Astrology Zone®. I get a commission on the purchase price of the subscription you buy.
Whether you choose the free version of my app or choose to subscribe to the premium version, either way you will still always have your monthly Astrology Zone report on your phone, and my previous month's forecast as well. You can check all twelve signs of the daily or monthly horoscopes too by simply going to the home screen and choosing a different sign.
Until now, only readers who went to their computers online would know in which city I would have new events. Also, you can see my Twitter feed on your mobile device too. In the same section as "Susan's Tweets" is my special note to you. Please always look for it. By the way, to read my Tweets, you don't have to join Twitter or tweet - you can, if you like, simply read my feed.
The designs for Android and iOS are consistent; you get the same visual design and features for either application.
I would appreciate you taking the time to review my app, for I will read all your comments. The place to do that is on the app's home menu of the app - you will see a VERY tiny round gear in the upper left hand side under the small photo of the galaxy. Press the tiny round gear and bingo - there will be lots of things revealed to you. You will want to play with the app and be surprised with how much is on there!
Thank you so much for reading Astrology Zone each month and for supporting me so enthusiastically.
Thank you for your Overwhelming Response!
Now A NEW, IMPROVED WEBSITE
Last year, I was invited by Sequin executives to look at an idea their talented New York City Sequin Design Studio had for a collection of pendants with an astrological theme. Sequin's Star Maps Collection is based on original, hand-cast illustrations of constellations and zodiac symbols, and was designed & handcrafted in the USA with components from around the world. They are simply beautiful. I wear my Sequin necklaces all the time, as they work with almost anything. This month, Sequin is launching a new, related collection called Celestial.
The all-women executives at Sequin asked me to check to make sure all the designs and keyword descriptions of the signs on their site were astrologically correct. I was happy to see that they were all well researched. (Everyone, it seems, at Sequin reads Astrology Zone!) I love the quality of the pieces, and some are of silver, and others are gold. Many girls layer several of these necklaces over each other, using various lengths, and that's a great look too.
The styles are available in 22K gold-dipped or silver-dipped at a range of price points. Gold toned bracelets have been available, and shortly you will see a line of silver bracelets too.
The pendants are all made in America and handcrafted by artisans using material components from around the world. These designs are so well priced that I feel they will soon sell out their inventory during the holiday gift-giving season. I was impressed with the lovely chain that the pendants come with too, as it is tangle-proof and delicately made to look as beautiful when worn as the pendants. Whenever I wear my Sequin necklaces, I get many compliments.
These Star Map and Celestial necklaces make great gifts or a treat for yourself. I quickly chose those necklaces as part of my favorite things to give for friends' birthdays.
Imagine how surprised I was that Oprah had chosen this Sequin Collection as a part of her "favorite things" in her December 2014 magazine issue. I was happy for my new friends at Sequin and the incredible success of this new line of jewelry.
The new Sequin website now offers a Wish List feature - perfect!
Click through to see the entire range of jewelry:
It's FREE to add, and loading is invisible and seamless through Bluetooth!
On July 7 my Susan Miller's Astrology Zone Daily Horoscope app for IOS that appears on the iPhone was approved by Apple to appear on their new watch! Apple had approached us with this option earlier this year, and we were all so excited to do it! My app developer, Phunware, immediately set to work on the extra coding to make my app work perfectly on the Apple watch, and it's been tested and approved by Apple for you!
If you have my app on your iPhone, the way this works is that your new Apple watch will "talk" to your iPhone and automatically load the Apple watch app from your iPhone, through Bluetooth. You need not use any wires or be concerned about downloading instructions - it all happens seamlessly and invisibly. There are no extra fees for you to pay either - it's free! If you already have the Apple watch, you know how much fun this is to use! From now on, I can be as close to you as your wrist, and it's remarkable how crystal clear my words can be read on the beautiful Apple Retina watch screen.
The Apple store helpers will assist you by loading my app on your watch, and it only takes a few minutes. It works best if you have the premium version of my app, so you might want to order a subscription to my longer, more detailed daily horoscopes. Try the premium version of my daily horoscopes for one month for $4.99 or for three months for $12.99. See how you like a longer daily forecast - most people do. We find 87 percent of readers opt for the upgrade. Or, you can always stick to the free, short version of my app for your iPhone. Tell me what you think on Twitter, @AstrologyZone.
I am so excited!
For many years, I have had the dream of having my own TV show - that dream came true in February, when my show debuted. The show will stream internationally on Vimeo.com, our host provider, and it will run 30 minutes.
Each month, I will explain points about astrology in an easy to understand way. All the material on the broadcast will be fresh and new, and I will not duplicate any information that already appears in my monthly Astrology Zone report. My aim is to help you understand how astrology works, and how you can harness this ancient art to make your dreams come true.
The show will now be available on the first day of each month - or even a few days before the end of the month.
Astrology Zone and my normal long monthly horoscopes will always remain free for you as they have every month for the past 19 years on the Internet. Please always look at my PS on my website each month as I list appearances and other free events that do not appear on my app. You can only view my TV show from clicking on the link from my site, as it is not possible to do straight from my app.
Viewing my TV show will give you special insight and detail on the coming month and also help you get more from the information you already get from me on Astrology Zone. I hope to teach you a few handy skills that will allow you to understand how astrology works and how you can harness that information for your own purposes to achieve enjoy a brighter future.
Tell us how you feel on my social media accounts, on Twitter @AstrologyZone, and on Facebook "Susan Miller." Also, Vimeo.com, our server host for the show, provides a place for comments too, and so do post a note there too - all of us will be reading your comments

This invention relates to a cooling device ("a quench") suitable for use in the quenching of hot highly corrosive combustion gases containing hydrogen chloride, particularly those which are formed in the combustion of waste gases together with liquid residues, both the gases and the liquid residues containing one or more chlorinated hydrocarbons.
The part of a combustion installation which is the most difficult to design and construct, and the most liable to fail, is the steel quench vessel in which the hot combustion gases are commonly quenched. A quench vessel is usually operated not only above but also below the dew point of the combustion gases and of the evaporating quenching liquid injected into the vessel, which may for example be water or hydrochloric acid; it is desirable that the vessel should accordingly be made heat-resistant in the region of the hot combustion gases, and acid-resistant in the region where the temperature may fall below the above-mentioned dew point. Hitherto there has been difficulty in meeting these requirements in practice, so that the quench vessel rapidly corroded even if it was lined with refractory bricks in the region of the hot combustion gases, that is to say above the inlet for the quenching liquid, and with acid-resistant ceramic plates in the region where the temperature might fall below the dew point, that is to say below the inlet for the quenching liquid. Protection against this corrosion may be adequate for the quenching of combustion gases resulting from the combustion of liquid residues of chlorinated hydrocarbons, since uniform metering can here make possible an at least approximate demarcation between hot and quenched combustion gases. However, in the combustion of waste gases containing chlorinated hydrocarbons, and in fact even in their conjoint combustion with liquid residues of chlorinated hydrocarbons, the operating conditions may be such that momentary fluctuations of flow and temperature do occur, with the result that the temperature distribution within the quench vessel is liable to be considerably displaced, so that either excessively high or insufficiently high temperatures may occur in certain regions.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooling device enabling these difficulties to be at least partially overcome.
According to the present invention, we provide a cooling device suitable for use in the quenching of combustion gases containing hydrogen chloride, which device comprises: an elongated steel vessel having rounded end portions, these being, in use, top and bottom end portions; a generally axial gas-admitting connection provided on the (in use) top end portion of the vessel; three to eight inclined connections disposed at substantially uniform angular intervals around a substantially horizontal zone situated in the top third of the vessel (referring to its orientation when in use), below the rounded top end portion, which connections, in use, receive nozzles for the injection of a quenching liquid circulated around a closed circuit; a lateral connection in the lower third of the vessel (referring to its orientation when in use), above the rounded bottom end portion, providing, in use, an outlet for quenched combustion gases and quenching liquid; a generally axial connection provided on the (in use) bottom end portion of the vessel, whereby assembly, repair, and cleaning operations are facilitated and/or an outlet is provided, in use, for quenching liquid; a hard rubber layer extending over the inner surfaces of the vessel and of the three to eight inclined connections and of the three other connections; an acid-resistant lining within the hard rubber layer; a refractory lining of heat insulating-bricks within the acid-resistant lining in the region above (in use) the three to eight inclined connections; a tube of corrosion-resistant steel inserted into the connection on the (in use) top end portion of the vessel; a steel compensator surrounding this inserted tube and surmounting the connection on the (in use) top end portion, whereby a seal is provided at that end of the vessel and compensation is provided for thermal expansion of the said inserted tube; and an inlet pipe connected to the steel compensator whereby, in use, an inert gas protecting its inner surface against corrosion can be admitted.
The cooling device of the invention preferably exhibits one or more of the following features:
(a) the said acid-resistant lining, below the said inclined connections, comprises a double layer of ceramic liner plates in acid-resistant mortar;
(b) the said acid-resistant lining, in and above the said zone, consists of a single layer of ceramic pieces laid in acid-resistant mortar;
(c) the said refractory lining comprises heat-insulating bricks laid in refractory mortar, and has a maximum thickness in the rounded region of the vessel which is situated, in use, above the said inclined connections;
(d) the vessel has a height-to-diameter ratio of 1.5:1 to 3:1;
(e) in the (in use) top third of the vessel, there are disposed, beneath the zone of the said inclined connections, two temperature sensors, the arrangement being such that the supply of combustion gases to the vessel is interrupted in the event of the temperature sensed by either sensor exceeding a predetermined temperature in the range of 100� to 200� C;
(f) a temperature sensor is disposed in the said lateral connection, the arrangement being such that the supply of combustion gases to the vessel is interrupted in the event of the temperature sensed by this sensor exceeding a predetermined temperature in the range of 70� to 140� C.
A cooling device according to the present invention is shown in vertical section in the single FIGURE of the accompanying drawing. This FIGURE is diagrammatic, however, more particularly in that it is not drawn to a strictly uniform scale, its proportions being varied where necessary for the sake of clarity.
The cooling device shown in the FIGURE preferably has a height which amounts to approximately twice its diameter. The device comprises a generally cylindrical steel vessel 1 rounded at its ends, which at the top carries a central connection 2 to receive an inserted NCT tube 9 of corrosion resistant steel, through which combustion gases containing hydrogen chloride enter at a temperature of about 1000� C. In the top third of the vessel, three to eight inclined connections 3 are disposed in one plane at equal angular intervals from one another, these inclined connections receiving downwardly and inwardly directed nozzles for the injection of quenching liquid, preferably water or hydrochloric acid. Adequate and rapid cooling of the combustion gases is thereby made possible even in the event of fluctuating heat contents of these gases.
In the bottom third of the vessel a straight lateral connection 4 is provided as an outlet aperture for the quenched combustion gases and part of the heated quenching liquid. A central connection 5 provided at the bottom facilitates assembly, repair, and cleaning operations, and also serves as an outlet aperture for quenching liquid collecting in the bottom of the vessel.
Because the temperatures may everywhere fall below the dew point, and protection against acid is thus necessary, the entire inner surfaces of the steel vessel 1 and of the connections 2-5 are covered with a layer of hard rubber 6. All the hard rubber covered inner surfaces are in addition provided with either one or two layers 7 of acid-resistant lining material.
In order to provide sufficient protection from the hot combustion gases to avoid damage to the hard rubber layer 6 and the acid-resistant lining 7, the hard rubber covered inner surfaces with their acid-resistant lining are provided, above the connections 3, with one or more layers of refractory (i.e. heat-resistant) bricks 8.
Surmounting the connection 2 there is a steel compensator 10 which surrounds the inserted tube 9 and seals the upper opening of the vessel while allowing for the thermal expansion of the inserted tube 9. In order to prevent HCl vapours from penetrating into the interior of the steel compensator 10 by way of the annular gap between the tube 9 and connection 2, which gap has a width usually of 1 to 5 mm, and preferably of 1 to 2 mm, the steel compensator 10 is provided with an inlet tube 11, through which an inert gas (for example nitrogen or air) can be introduced to force back the HCl vapours.
In the upper third of the vessel, slightly below the plane of the connections 3, two temperature sensors 12 are installed in diametrically opposite positions. In the region of these sensors 12 the temperature usually amount to 90� C. If as an exception it should at any time rise to 150� C, for example, the temperature sensors 12 automatically immediately stop the supply of fuel and thus also the supply of combustion gases to the vessel. Similarly a third temperature sensor 13 is provided in the outlet connection 4, where a temperature of 60� usually prevails. The sensor 13 interrupts the supply of combustion gases in the event of the temperature rising to 90� C, for example. The overheating of the hard rubber layer 6 and the discharge of insufficiently quenched combustion gases can thus be avoided.
In addition to a device as defined earlier, the present invention includes a method of quenching combustion gases containing hydrogen chloride, wherein the gases are supplied to the gas-admitting connection of a device according to the present invention while a quenching liquid is being injected thereinto through its three to eight inclined connections.
The following Example illustrates the invention.
A cooling device according to the present invention, as shown in the accompanying drawing, was used. It comprises a steel vessel 1 having a height of 3.60 meters and a diameter of 1.60 meters. The vessel's height-to-diameter ratio was therefore 2.25:1. The vessel had an approximate capacity of 7 cubic meters. It had an inserted tube 9 of corrosion-resistant steel having a diameter of 58.5 cm. There was an annular gap of 1 to 2 mm between the tube 9 and the internal lining of the gas-admitting top connection 2. At a height of 2.90 meters the vessel 1 had four lateral inclined connections 3, disposed at uniform 90� intervals, each accommodating a downwardly and inwardly directed nozzle. At a height of 2.70 meters two temperature sensors 12 were disposed in diametrically opposite positions. The lateral outlet connection 4 together with the temperature sensor 13 was situated at a height of 70 cm.
2250 Nm3 /h of combustion gases, consisting of 82 volume % of inert gases (principally N2 and CO2), 4.0 volume % of HCl, 13 volume % of water vapour, and 1 volume % of O2 were admitted into the vessel 1 from above through the tube 9, at an approximate temperature of 1000� C, and were quenched therein to 60� C with a total of 20 Nm3 /h (=5 Nm3 /h per nozzle) of 30 weight % hydrochloric acid at a temperature of 17� C. 100 Nm3 /h of nitrogen or air were introduced through the tube 11 into the interior of the steel compensator 10, and penetrated into the vessel 1 through the annular gap around the tube 9. The combustion gases cooled to 60� C left the vessel 1 through the connections 4 and 5 together with the hydrochloric acid, which had been heated to 47� C as a result of the quenching. In an absorption cooler connected downstream of the vessel 1, the gases were cooled to 30� C, part of the water vapour being thereby condensed, and were cleaned in the usual manner. At the same time the hydrochloric acid was cooled to 17� C. Thereafter, being diluted with a total of 340 kg/h of water (condensate and added water), it was pumped back in a recycling circuit to the nozzles accommodated in the inclined connections 3, once again as 30 weight % hydrochloric acid. The excess of hydrochloric acid, i.e. the portion exceeding 20 Nm3 /h (486 kg/h), was drawn off, for use elsewhere.
In this quenching procedure, the 146 kg/h of HCl contained in the 2250 Nm3 /h of combustion gases, together with the 340 kg/h of water, supplied 486 kg/h of 30 weight % hydrochloric acid.

Hacker's mother to stand against Jack Straw
Pentagon hacker Gary McKinnon's mother, Janis Sharp, has announced that she's going to be standing as an independent candidate in the forthcoming general election, opposing Justice Minister Jack Straw who supported the extradition of her son to the USA.
Straw's constituency is Blackburn, where Straw has a majority of 8,000. Labour has held it since the 50s, and so it's unlikely that Sharp will get elected - it's more of a publicity stunt to draw more attention to her son's plight, though she does claim to have some ties to the Blackburn area herself.
The Free Gary blog says: "The fact that the Gary McKinnon extradition case has exceeded the lifetime of this current Parliament, is a scandal which belies any promises of swift or fair justice, made by this Labour government", and Sharp has explained her policies in depth in an interview with the BBC.
