Works fine, but . . .
By MacSwigart
from Buffalo, NY
One major problem: the drive comes in four parts--a lightning-to-thirtypin adaptor, a thirtypin to USB connector, and clear plastic protective caps for both. While three of these click together, the fourth (the cap for the 30-pin adapter) remains loose. Both caps are clear plastic, tiny and easy to lose. That's clearly a design flaw. Lose any one, and the whole expensive purchase goes down the drain. In fact lightning prong is exposed whenever not plugged into your i-device. It should be retractible; so should the USB plug, thus eliminating the need for plastic caps. Alternatively, a small portable soft plastic or cloth carrying bag (not the snazzy, two-part, breakable clear plastic case) would be a good idea.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

iPad Flash Driver

This is the first flash drive that allows for those of us who were raised and familiar with Microsoft to move files, photos, music, etc. between devices. I have tried many other systems from the app store, cloud and drop box and this is by far the best.

Peyton Manning kicks off NFL season with 7 touchdowns in rout of Ravens
(Denver, CO) -- Peyton Manning threw for 462 yards and tied the NFL-record with seven touchdown passes, as the Broncos opened up the 2013 season with a 49-27 rout of the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Manning is the sixth quarterback in league history to throw seven TD's in a game and first since Minnesota's Joe Kapp in 1969. Demaryius Thomas had five catches for 161 yards and two TD's, while Wes Welker and Julius Thomas also had two scores each for the Broncos, who put up 28 straight points to open the second half en route to the lopsided victory. Welker had a game-high nine catches in his Broncos debut. Joe Flacco finished 34-of-62 for 362 yards with two TD's and two interceptions for the Ravens, who are coming off their second title in franchise history. Ray Rice found the end zone but finished with just 71 yards of total offense. The 49 points allowed by Baltimore are the most in franchise history. The start of the game was delayed over 30 minutes due to lightning.

John Rich launches 'Redneck Riviera' product line
Listen to John Rich on iHeartRadio
John Rich has a new business venture.
The country star has developed a product line under the name "Redneck Riviera." He says while the term typically references the Gulf Coast, he's found it's "not just a place" but "a state of mind" that's found all across America. The singer adds that his goal is to "make sure this product lives up to the lifestyle."
The "Redneck Riviera" line includes t-shirts, tank tops, and caps for men and women along with accessories such as koozies and decals. A kids' line is in the works.
Rich officially launched "Redneck Riviera" in Panama City Beach, Florida on Tuesday. More information is available at RedneckRiviera.com.

Beyonce: 'I would like more children'
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Beyonce chatted with ABC News on the London leg of her "Mrs. Carter Tour," and chatted up babies, Cuba and more!
So might baby Blue Ivy be getting a little brother or sister? Sounds like it — one day!
"I would like more children," she said. "I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being big sister … ."
She also adds that she's a protective mother: "I just want to make sure that she can have a healthy, safe, normal life … in the back of my mind, she's my priority. And life is completely different now. So I'm — I feel really, really just lucky that I can still do what I love, and now have a way bigger meaning. And that's to be her mother."
She also talks up that much-talked about Cuba trip with her hubby Jay-Z. In a word? She was "shocked" over all of the media attention over it.
"You know, it was such a beautiful trip. I met some incredible children. I visited some incredible entrepreneurs. And it was really, it was really educational for me. I learned so much about so many people and the country, and it was actually quite shocking," she said.
The superstar mama also has a new film coming this month. She voices a character in animated feature "EPIC."

Pet Adoption Event Returns to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo June 11
Each year, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo teams up with more than 20 area humane organizations to host a pet adoption event like none other – Meet Your Best Friend at the Zoo!
This year, more than 100 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies, many of which will be available for immediate adoption, will be on the Zoo's Ticket Plaza with their humane organizations from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 11. More than 750 pets have been adopted through the event since it started in 2001.
"This event is designed to give people looking for an animal companion an overview of the organizations out there that might be able to help them," said Sue Allen, the Zoo's Director of Marketing & Public Relations. "We're proud to provide the venue to help these adoptable dogs and cats find permanent, loving homes."
Participating rescue groups and shelters will offer advice on choosing the right pet and how best to care for it. All dogs and cats will have received a health check-up and age-appropriate vaccinations. Each organization sets its own adoption fees and policies, and some require a waiting period.
The event is FREE and takes place outside the Zoo under tents on the Ticket Plaza. For health and safety reasons, visitors should leave their current pets at home.
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily with hours extended to 7 p.m. on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Admission is $11 per person, $8 for kids ages 2 to 11 and free for children younger than 2 and Zoo members. Parking is free.

Bucky Covington & fiancee expecting a baby
Listen to Bucky Covington on iHeartRadio
Bucky Covington has something very special in the works. The country singer has announced that he and his fiancée Katherine Cook are expecting are having a baby.
Their impending little bundle of joy will be the first child for the couple, who've been together for seven years. Bucky says he and Katherine are thrilled to see their family grow, and they're "so excited to share this news with friends and family." And the former "American Idol" finalist doesn't want to wait to find out if he'll have a son or a daughter. He tells "People" he wants to know "right now," because he wants to refer to the baby as "he" or "she," not 'it."
Bucky adds that as he prepares to become a father he's found a role model -- TV dad Phil Dunphy, actor Ty Burrell character on "Modern Family." He says he's been watching "a bunch of episodes" of the ABC comedy, and "they seem to help a lot." Covington explains that like the fictional father he's "definitely going to be a fun dad," but admits "there's going to be boundaries."
Congrats to Bucky and Katherine!

Having cancer gets even more expensive
Some cancer patients and their insurers are seeing their bills for chemotherapy jump sharply, reflecting increased drug prices and hospitals' push to buy oncologists' practices and then bill at higher rates.
"Patients say, 'I've been treated with Herceptin for breast cancer for several years and it was always $5,000 for the drug, and suddenly it's $16,000—and I was in the same room with the same doctor, same nurse, and the same length of time,'" said Dr. Donald Fischer, chief medical officer for Highmark, the largest health plan in Pennsylvania.
Like other insurers, Highmark found that when hospital systems bought doctors' practices, chemotherapy costs rose because physicians' offices were then deemed "hospital outpatient centers" and could charge more for overhead.
Now insurers are pushing back. In what may be the first move of its kind, Highmark in April stopped paying higher fees for chemotherapy drugs given to patients whose doctors work for hospitals, instead paying the same price they would have had the doctor remained independent.
The move is being watched closely by insurers around the country, and "some will probably follow suit," said Kathryn Fitch, a health care management consultant at Milliman, whose 2013 study documented that chemotherapy costs in hospital outpatient settings ran as much as 53 percent higher than in doctors' offices.
"The pendulum has swung toward hospitals buying up physician practices to get better revenue," Fitch said.
Other insurers are trying different ways to hold down costs.
WellPoint, one of the nation's largest insurers, soon will begin paying oncologists a bonus of $350 a month per patient for sticking with specific, less-costly chemotherapy regimens. Florida Blue has partnered with some doctor practices to create cancer-specific "accountable care organizations" that reward doctors if the new organizations save money while hitting quality targets.
And UnitedHealthcare, the biggest insurer by market share, is expanding a pilot project that uses flat, or "bundled," payments for the treatment of certain cancers—which include the cost of drugs.
Targeting Cancer Treatment
Changing the way cancer care is paid for is a top priority for insurers and employers, with treatments costing the U.S. more than $127 billion each year. That number is projected to grow 27 percent from 2010 to 2020 as the population ages, said epidemiologist Robin Yabroff at the National Cancer Institute.
Meanwhile, the average monthly cost of a brand-name cancer drug has doubled to $10,000 in the past decade, according to a May report from the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics.
That's important because the traditional way to pay for cancer drugs given in a doctor's office is to reimburse the physician for the average sales price of the drug, plus an added percentage to cover overhead and a de facto profit margin. In Medicare, for instance, the added percentage is 6 percent.
Highmark's Fischer and others say that payment method creates an incentive to use higher-priced drugs—and more of them.
"If you give a $10,000 drug, it's $600 [for the doctor]. If you give a $100 drug, you get a margin of $6," said Fischer.
Such "buy and bill" programs, he said, are being phased out in other specialties but have continued in cancer care because insurers fear losing oncologists from their networks.
Administering chemotherapy in hospital outpatient settings is even more expensive, studies show. IMS Health reported that per-dose payments were 189 percent higher for brand-name drugs given in hospital outpatient settings than in independent doctor offices.
Some of that added burden falls on patients, who paid $134 more per dose on average for cancer drugs given in hospital outpatient settings than in doctors' offices, the report found.
While the health law limits annual out-of-pocket costs to $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families, paying such sums out of pocket is daunting for many consumers.
Studies of breast cancer patients show that even small increases in copayments led some to stop treatment.
The amount "is unachievable for many of the patients we represent," said Brian Rosen, senior vice president at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. "Patients who need lifesaving therapies often can't afford access to the cure."
The problem is likely to grow as hospitals purchase more physician practices. In a recent six-month period, for example, Medicare payments tripled for chemotherapy in hospital outpatient settings and dropped 14 percent in doctors' offices.
In March, the advisory group MedPac recommended that Medicare reduce or eliminate differences in payment rates between outpatient departments and physician offices for many services.

Zimmerman: She 'Went Crazy on Me'
(NEWSER) – George Zimmerman is back in jail and Florida authorities have released 911 calls giving conflicting versions of the events leading up to his arrest on domestic violence charges yesterday. In girlfriend Samantha Scheibe's call, she can be heard shouting "You put your gun in my freaking face and told me to get the f--- out!'" before Zimmerman apparently pushes her out of the house, reports Mediaite. "He knows how to do this, he knows how to play this game," Schiebe tells the operator, describing the four guns Zimmerman had in the house, where they had been living together since August.

'Downton Abbey' Democrats may cost their party the Senate
Last week was a good week for natural gas, but a bad one for green gentry liberalism. John Podesta, a veteran of the Clinton White House who is once again a presidential adviser, tried to explain some energy facts of life to the true-believing liberal base. Still, it's unclear if Podesta's intended audience was listening, and that willful blindness may cost the Democrats control of the Senate.
Podesta warned that opposition to natural gas is impractical and not grounded in reality. As he explained, "With all due respect to my friends in the environmental community, if they expect us to turn off the lights and go home, that's sort of an impractical suggestion." Coming from Podesta—who previously headed the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress—them was fighting words.
Meanwhile, the Pew Research Center reported that the fight over the Keystone XL pipeline project was not a routine party-line battle between Democrats and Republicans, but a high-profile scrum pitting the Democrats' donor class against the rest of America. According to Pew, the public actually favors Keystone by better than two-to-one, with opposition concentrated among graduate degree holding Democrats, and Democrats with household incomes north of $100,000. In contrast to high-end Democrats, working class Democrats support Keystone—regardless of race.
So where does this leave would-be populist Al Gore—who branded Keystone as an"atrocity," —along with would-be Democratic financial savior and Keystone opponent Tom Steyer, and the Democratic Party itself? How about a world away from job-craving America, and light years from the mid-twentieth century Democratic Party.
Indeed, this gap gives added credence to Professor Fred Siegel's critique that "today's liberal gentry see the untamed middle classes as the true enemy," as he writes in his new book, The Revolt Against the Masses: How Liberalism has Undermined the Middle Class. It's not that the Democrats don't know that they have a problem with the non-government employee middle class, but it's just that they really are not bothered by it. As the New York Times framed the issue, "many in the party pay so little attention to white working-class men that it suggests they have effectively given up on converting them."
This hardly looks or sounds like the lunch-bucket liberalism of FDR and Harry Truman, or the JFK's robust New Frontier, which sought to ameliorate poverty while embracing technology and space shots. No, the current iteration of liberalism sounds more like reactionary 19th century Toryism, which, in the words of Siegel, attacked further industrial and commercial expansion as "impossibly vulgar." Indeed, the Tories of that day, many of them big landowners, found an intellectual champion in one Thomas Malthus.

Kanye West & Annie Leibovitz Make Up After Wedding Photo Flap
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Two days after Kanye West blasted Annie Leibovitz for not shooting his and Kim Kardashian's wedding, it seems the rapper and famed photographer are cool again.
You'll recall, during a talk West gave at the Cannes Lions festival of Tuesday, he was quoted as saying Leibovitz — who photographed the couple for their Vogue cover — bailed on shooting the nuptials, and it "was pissing my girl off during the honeymoon."
He says he spent then "four days" fixing the picture of himself kissing his Kardashian in front of a wall of flowers because he refused to settle for anything but the best.
"She's afraid of celebrity," West allegedly said.
His fixed-up photo eventually became the most liked Instagram post in history.
Now, the "Amazing" singer is singing a different tune about Leibovitz.
In a joint statement from him and the photographer, the two say West's comments were taken out of context and sensationalized.
While West was clearly frustrated he couldn't collaborate with Leibovitz again, he's not blaming her because apparently their respective reps couldn't hammer out a deal before the wedding.
"Annie would have been happy to do the portrait but she was never confirmed," says the photog's rep.
And stressing again how he only wanted the best, West now says, "Picture this, the most-liked Instagram photo of all time, shot by Annie Leibovitz. Oh, I'm sorry for dreaming out loud. Again."


text: (NEWSER) – The Archdiocese of Chicago has released more than 6,000 pages of internal documents showing decades of hidden sexual abuse by 30 priests. Priests accused of abuse still received promotions, while alleged victims faced church-backed investigations, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The church moved accused priests between parishes and left abuse unreported; most of the men were never prosecuted, the Chicago Tribune notes. None of the 30 priests, 14 of whom have died, are currently in the ministry, the archdiocese says. No allegations in the documents, released following a lawsuit, occurred after 1996, it adds—though some allegations came to light during the tenure of current Cardinal Francis George, theTribune notes.

Aquarius New Moon: February 13, 2010
It is the New Moon in Aquarius, the ultimate time for creating your own reality during the yearly cycle of 13 new moons. Aquarians are said to be independent, creative, changeable, and unique, which is frequently true. Yet, the challenge for any Aquarian is to be grounded and to have an open heart, since the ruling planet of Aquarius-Uranus-makes Aquarians over-energized, abstracted, and mental. During this New Moon, each one of us is especially challenged to access this creative and transformative part of ourselves, because the Chiron/Neptune conjunction (exact on Feb. 16) is exactly conjunct the New Moon. It would be wise to remember that intense self-discovery can take you out of your body, which separates you from the powers of your heart. This is the yearly Aquarian challenge for everybody, but this year's Aquarius New Moon offers a quantum leap in creative potential. This New Moon offers the central creative program, not just Aquarian software.
As this potential comes into our world, the collective field is undergoing deep structural change during the second Saturn upper-square Pluto on January 31, which was right after the Full Moon in Leo conjunct Mars. The signature themes are now becoming clear-the gargantuan 3.8 trillion dollar US federal budget; failing war and security efforts; the impending collapse of the global housing industry; stress in the Japanese auto industry; and the probable failure to achieve comprehensive health care in the US. As Saturn's retrograde square to Pluto hammers the world, most Americans realize that the American middle-class dream is over. Financial security was garroted on rifle butts, smothered in expensive prescription drugs, and destroyed by excessive mortgage debt. These hard Saturn/Pluto aspects are the key right now; Saturn forms and structures reality while Pluto destroys things that are no longer useful, following the cycles of evolutionary change for economies and social systems.
World economies moved out of recession in 1982/3 when Saturn conjuncted Pluto, and these economies accelerated during the great boom of the '80s and '90s. This expansion broke when Saturn opposed Pluto in 2001/02, and slowed even more when the US persuaded many countries to invest in endless war. Now with the upper square occurring after almost ten years of global fears, unpleasant truths are emerging: Millionaire politicians out of touch with the public have frittered away the wealth of the United States, which could trigger global bankruptcy. The American budget proposals, with no end in sight to spending, reveal there is no room for any domestic initiatives, even if wars were abandoned now. Ironically-speaking of activating your own central creative potential-this economic and political disaster means you have to do just that! People have less and less to lose all the time, and so more will break free and discover what they are actually capable of. You create your world-not banks, politicians, or the military.
The New Moon in 25 Aquarius is combust (less than 1 degree) the Chiron/Neptune conjunction, which will be exact on February 16. Therefore, the lunar seed or theme is the full revelation of Chiron conjunct Neptune. In my 2009 readings, I focused constantly on this "Triple Conjunction"-Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune in 25/26 Aquarius-because it was the central astrological theme. The conjunction of these three planets in close range during most of last year inspired a gigantic healing and spiritual crisis in most of our lives, which has fundamentally changed us. Chiron rules the deepest wounding complexes in our body/minds, Neptune rules access to spiritual planes by our souls, and then Jupiter's activation of this wounded spirit complex expanded this species-level crisis to the universal level.
Considering what the Pleiadians think of Earth right now, they are appalled by how you blow your bodies to bits and end up living in bodies with missing limbs. Meanwhile, well-paid city planners create more handicapped zones for wounded bodies. Do not be naive about the distraction being created by these bizarre programs that could cause your species to stop valuing normal physicality. Your potential to become a loving and peaceful species grew during the Triple Conjunction. Jupiter's "push" opened multidimensional doorways that offer humankind new solutions; a good example is the remarkable film Avatar that has a thrilling central theme of a paraplegic regaining his legs. The tragedy in Haiti was the greatest manifestation of the Triple Conjunction: Chiron as deep wounding, with Neptune expressing the ardent religious fervor of the Haitian people, and Jupiter representing the expansion of their plight to the whole world. Three days after the New Moon, the exact Chiron/Neptune conjunction will enable you to identify your own way to a major healing-which can be a key to unlock the doors to total access to spiritual wholeness.
These days the outer world convulses in astonishing chaos and pain caused by earthquakes, East/West violence, and global financial instability. The New Moon conjunct Chiron/Neptune pries open pathways to spirit because so many people know they cannot survive in such traumatic realities. This wild group in Aquarius insists that what matters is what you are personally doing, not the collective madness. Are you available to your elders, your children, and your colleagues and friends, or are you spaced out on Face Book? Being grounded is especially critical for Americans, since the New Moon conjunct Chiron/Neptune is right on the USA 27 Aquarius Moon, as well as right on the lunar South Node of the American president, Barack Obama. An excellent astrologer, Art Gianfermo, brought to my attention that Pluto is in 24 Aquarius in the chart for the formation of the American Stock Exchange in 1792. This strongly suggests that stocks could be negatively affected by this New Moon. Also, Saturn in 4 Libra is transiting the lunar North Node of the Stock Exchange Chart. Since Saturn squares Pluto while it transits the Stock Exchange North Node, fundamental changes are about to come for investors. For example, how is the middle class going to even be able to invest in the future? Investors, be careful-many transits in cardinal planets are building up for the so-called "Cardinal Crunch" this summer.
Also regarding 26 Aquarius, Neptune was in 26 Aquarius when the planet was first discovered in 1846! During this New Moon and the Chiron/Neptune conjunction on February 16, Neptune is experiencing its return, which will complete the spiritual trends that began in the 1840s. If we go back to the time of Neptune's sighting, we find people experimenting with mediumship; hypnotism was discovered; and the theosophical movement began. These movements were all based on the premise that we are not separate from spirit, and that we can develop skills to be in touch with spirit. For those of us accessing nine dimensions and other multidimensional studies these days, we are accessing galactic and universal consciousness. Barriers to other worlds are breaking down, and the key to these breakdowns is always Uranus, which is in the sign that rules Neptune, Pisces.
The planet of transformation, Uranus, is exactly 30 degrees beyond Chiron/Neptune conjunct the New Moon. This is not a strong aspect, but Uranus rules Aquarius, so this increases Neptunian resonance with the New Moon complex. While in Pisces, Uranus subtly emphasizes that the really meaningful transformations are spiritual and not physical. Uranus has been in Pisces since 2003 and moves into Aries in March 2011 (after a brief sojourn into Aries during June-August 2010), so we are in the final stages of mastering its spiritual potential. Uranus rules our creative development over 84 years and transits each sign of the Zodiac for 7 years, the famous "seven-year itch." Every seven years, a new creative theme is worked out in culture, and as individuals, we each change greatly at ages 7, 14, 21, 28, and so on. Many cultures feel that a child first becomes an adult at age 21, which is the first Uranus square. Collectively, the 84-year cycle begins with Aries and ends with Pisces, so now we are poised at the end of a Uranus cycle and a new beginning in Aries. Thus, this culmination in Pisces is the collective spiritual maturation after growing through many levels since 1927, the last time Uranus was in Aries (which was just before the Great Depression).
If you reflect for a moment, you will notice that you have become much more spiritually inclined since the 1960s, when Uranus entered the latter signs of this cycle, and now we are experiencing the final stages of spiritual breakthrough. This New Moon expresses this story dramatically with the New Moon/Chiron/Neptune also in happy resonance with Uranus in Pisces. And, Jupiter is now in Pisces, which is awakening compassion and spirituality and expanding the final stages of the 184-year-long Neptune discovery phase. The grouping of the New Moon/Chiron/Neptune in late Aquarius followed closely by Venus/Jupiter in early Pisces certainly draws the eye. We can feel that something momentous is coming, and I note that there were many rumors about secret negotiations with the Taliban of Afghanistan and Pakistan during the second Saturn-square-Pluto. Hmmm . . .
Meanwhile, my more-complex eye is drawn to two thought-provoking "Yods" in this New Moon chart (a "Yod" is the finger of God in Arabic astrology). Pluto sextile Venus/Jupiter is in a Yod to Mars retrograde, and Saturn sextile Mars is in a Yod to Venus/Jupiter. These are very tight Yods. If you recall, there were two potent Yods in the 2009 Winter Solstice chart that have already demonstrated their powers, as I discussed in the reading for the previous New Moon. So, let's talk about Yods, since few people understand them and few astrologers pay much attention to them. Yods are quite rare during New and Full Moons and seasonal charts, and so they should be scrutinized when they occur during these intense passages. Also they rule deep inner psychological processes, the source for the ability to make real changes in our lives. ln my own work as an astrologer, I have found Yods pack a wallop on the scale of grand squares and T-squares. I don't know whether Arabic astrologers would agree that they are this significant. But, since the best source on Yods is Arabic astrology, I suspect Eastern astrologers value them as I do. Of course, Yods have two quincunxes in them, and Western astrologers do not pay enough attention to quincunxes, the aspects that push us to do things we are resisting.
You can image the finger of God as God's finger pointing at the meaningful issue, with God's body shooting its power through this finger. Since current male-dominant descriptions of God are so disempowering, I like to describe Yods by using the dowsing rod as my model. Dowsing rods are metal tools used to detect the location of water. The "dowser" holds the two rods that hold a bent rod in a slip that allows the two rods to move freely. Holding the rods in his hands, when the holder's cells feel water, electrical signals in the dowsers hands cause the rods to draw together to form a double quincunx-the Yod-that points the rods to the water source. They really work! Imagine yourself as a dowser holding the energy of the two planets (or more) in a sextile and then allow that energy to flow out of your hands to the opposite point, the head of the Yod. Of course, you can only do this by comprehending and feeling the quality of each planet in the sextile, while you imagine holding them in your left and right hands. Then as you shoot this force out to the head of the Yod, you can feel how its impulses, pushes, and activates the planet at the head of the Yod-that is, assuming you can feel the qualities of the planet at the head. It sounds complicated, so, let's just do it. Then we can look at how these powers affect the New Moon/Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius, which is the theme of the New Moon: totally activating your creative potential now.
Venus/Jupiter in early Pisces plays a pivotal role because it is the right hand of the Yod to Mars, and it is also the head of the Yod coming from the Saturn/Mars sextile. Like a caduceus, this double role greatly intensifies both Venus and Jupiter, especially Venus, which is less than one degree from its aspects to Mars and Saturn, very close aspects indeed! Taking a glimpse at what's been going on lately with Venus, Venus was conjunct the Sun during the December 31 Cancer lunar eclipse; combust the Sun during the January 15 close solar eclipse; and conjunct the Sun during the January 29/30 Full Moon. These were the eclipses and Full Moon that facilitated our movement into our collective dark night of the soul that was initially set up by the field of the Winter Solstice. Therefore the role Venus is playing must be carefully watched, especially in the actions of these two Yods.
See yourself standing very erect with your feet grounded in Earth. You are holding Venus/Jupiter in 3-6 Pisces in your right hand, and Pluto in 5 Capricorn in your left hand. Pluto in Capricorn is pushing us all to completely transform the structures in our world, while Venus/Jupiter conjunct in Pisces inspire us to melt into total spiritual immersion. You are holding a force in your hands that has been overturning the major world religions by opening spiritual reconnection with Earth, the central goddess. As you hold these forces in your hands and feel them in your body, shoot that great energy out to Mars retrograde in Leo. Like the rerun of a bad movie, Mars retrograde in Leo is dragging the human race back through all its recent dregs of war, chaos, dominance, and greed. This is a part in us that swills in our own emotional and mental excrement until we can't stand it anymore-so just climb out of the pit! The people in Haiti, struggling to escape the hell they've lived in for so long and being hauled out of rubble, with the recalcitrant West warring against the stupefied and barbarized East, perfectly express this energy. The ego in you that refuses to let the past go so that you can be refreshed to discover a new world expresses this force. Feel how the relentless force of Pluto in Capricorn crumbles walls and exposes financial and military corruption, as the Earth expands herself with Jupiter's masterful powers. Indeed, the Finger of God is pointing to and melting the real problem, too much martial energy wasted in killing and destruction instead of resources used for protection and building new realities.
Now, for the second Yod. See yourself standing erect again with your feet firmly on the ground. You are holding Mars in Leo in your left hand, and Saturn in Libra in your right hand. Mars retrograde in Leo is dragging us back through experiences of using energy badly and being too much in ego; and Saturn retrograde in early Libra is pushing us to deepen the balance and harmony that we achieved November 2009 through mid-January 2010. During this short period, it looked like the world economy was recovering and the old order would be salvaged. Now the great changes are coming on strong again, we are being asked to find new paths. You are holding an energy force in your hands that can show you how to balance power and aggression in your life so that you can regain the full usage of your protective powers. Saturn is asking you to remember the real potency of Mars, which has created civilization and families and life itself. As you hold potent, sextiled Mars and Saturn in your hands, shoot this force out to Venus/Jupiter in Pisces, two players standing together to rebirth the goddess and expand beauty in our reality. Venus/Jupiter plays the role of pointing us to choose Earth first, to expand ourselves in beauty, while also being the right-handed power pushing Mars to rise out of his patriarchal rut. For fun, let's call this the "Avatar Yod".
As best you can, feel these forces through your hands, and feel the powers that you can actually direct in your reality. Hold the feeling for these very real forces during the New Moon. Note that there is still another planet aspecting the Yods that we just played with: Mercury in Aquarius, which functions as the ultimate activator of the Yods. Mercury in 5 Aquarius closely opposes Mars retrograde in 4 Leo, while it trines Saturn retrograde in 4 Libra. Mercury encourages extremely challenged Mars to use intelligence first for a change, while Saturn in Libra is being inspired with new creative visions of new ways to create structures in the world.
To summarize this very complex and potent New Moon chart: The collective world will feel very chaotic and undirected, while individuals will wake up mind-bending inner creative powers, especially those who have planets in 3-6 degrees of any sign. If you do, you may feel like you are in the middle of a pinball machine with lights and sound going off while somebody is shaking and tilting it to boot. The early Greeks always said, "Know Thyself." Well, perhaps they were right.

WATCH: Paula Deen like you've never seen her before!
Paula Deen and the people who love her most are telling the TV cook's real life story on E! True Hollywood Story tonight. Through a series of interviews, news clips, old photos and anecdotes, the world will get to see who Paula Deen really is, despite her recent career-breaking scandal.
If you remember, this past June a bomb was dropped in the form of Paula Deen admitting that she used the N-word on multiple occasions. When asked in the deposition about making racist jokes, her response was equally unapologetic. "It's just what they are — they're jokes…most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks…I can't determine what offends another person."
E!'s one-hour program discusses everything from Paula's struggles with agoraphobia to the ongoing fallout of her Food Network firing.
In the preview clip, Deen's two sons discuss Paula's loneliness after she divorced her first husband and before she married her current one, Michael Groover. "I'll never forget my mother telling me that she had gone out to eat the night before," said Paula's son Bobby. He asked who she went out with and she replied, "I went by myself, I go out to eat by myself all the time." That admission hit Bobby in the gut. "I found that incredibly saddening," he said.
Paula is not interviewed for the program, but many of her friends, family members and critics are. Word has it that viewers end up feeling some sympathy for Paula Deen.
Watch the teasers here!

British Prime Minister Suspects Terrorism In London Attack
In what the BBC is calling a "terror attack," one man was killed and two others shot by armed police in an incident in Woolwich on Wednesday afternoon. According to the local MP, Nick Raynsford, the victim was an off-duty soldier from the nearby army barracks—as well as a local primary schoolteacher.
Two men, who are suspected to be Islamic extremists, attacked the soldier, reportedly wearing a "Help for Heroes" T-shirt, just after 2 p.m. in Woolwich, in southeast London, with machetes. The suspects allegedly yelled "Allahu Akbar" before the attack, witnesses told the BBC. The attack also reportedly continued long after the victim was killed, and some witnesses said they saw the body being dragged.
According to a Scotland Yard spokesman, police were called to reports of an assault at 2:20 on Wednesday afternoon. "One man was being assaulted by two other men," said Commander Simon Letchford. "A number of weapons were reportedly being used in the attack, and this included reports of a firearm."
Early eyewitness reports indicated the victim was hit by a car, although that has not been confirmed, before coming after the victim with meat cleavers. One local resident, Julia Wilders, told the Press Association she had seen the victim lying on the ground. "We were driving back and my husband said to me, 'Don't look, they're resuscitating someone.' But apparently they were stabbing him.

PHOTO: Jay Z puts a ring on it again at MET Gala
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio | Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio
If you thought that Jay-Z was all rap swag and no romance, you are sadly mistaken.
While Beyonce was walking the red carpet at the 2014 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday in New York City, she lost her ring after it fell off her finger. Luckily Hova was able to find the ring and the way he returned it was just the best – he kneeled down and placed it on her finger to her as a mock proposal. How adorable!
Clearly the cameras were eating every moment of it up.
Bey wore a bedazzled Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci custom gown, while Jay sported a white jacket and black tux pants, also by Givenchy Haute Couture.
Well done, Carters!

Fortune Books announce the publication of The Sultan's Organ, the personal diary of organ builder Thomas Dallam. In 1599 he took a self-playing organ from London to Constantinople – now Istanbul – as a present from Queen Elizabeth I to the Sultan of Turkey. He played his virginals to various audiences en route and the organ to the Sultan himself. When best-selling travel author John Mole came across the diary in its original Elizabethan English he was so enthralled that he knew it deserved a wider audience. He put it into modern English so it reads as if its author were alive today

Katy Perry & Kacey Musgraves special to air on CMT
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio | Listen to Kacey Musgraves on iHeartRadio
Katy Perry describes her CMT "Crossroads" episode with Kacey Musgraves as "when cowboy boots and Manolos collide."
The pop star and rising country singer come together for the special performance, debuting Friday night at 10:00 p.m. Eastern. They team up to sing each other's hits, such as Kacey's "Merry Go Round" and "Follow Your Arrow" and Katy's "Roar" and "Firework." They also sing some covers, including Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again" and Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me." The two singers also discuss their music during the show.
And this won't be the only time Kacey and Katy share a stage. Kacey will join Katy later this summer on the North American leg of Perry's "Prism" tour. Musgraves will begin her run as Perry's opener in Grand Rapids, Michigan on August 10th.

Cordless lamp is not
By Sis
from Gunnison, CO
The light is all right. A little tall which did not seem necessary since it is adjustable. Because it is tall it leans in, making it unattractive to look at.Was disappointed that it had to remain plugged in because it does not work otherwise. It had been charged to specifications, the light turned on for a few minutes and then turned off.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Perfect Lamp
By Mrs. Fuz

Where I needed a lamp to read, having a cord was dangerous(too near a door) and unsightly.This lamp is thin and attractive.Just what I needed and friends have already ordered one for themselves.

Not sturdy and difficult to assemble.
By quiltercat
from Olympia, WA
The poles would not screw into the base of the lamp until we removed the base and adjusted the bolt on the bottom. Even after doing this, when the poles were screwed in tightly, the lamp still wobbles and does not stand up straight.

Nice Reading Light
By JayRene
from Jacksonville, FL
I bought this lamp for my husband as a reading lamp. He loves it because the light does not cast a glare on what is being read. I would not recommend this lamp if you are looking for something that will light up a room. If it is the only light on in a dark room, it appears to be rather dim and has a strange glow to it. At first, I had doubts that this lamp was going to be suitable but after trying it, it really is a perfect reading light. It holds a charge for a long time as we have had the lamp for a couple of weeks and have only charged it the one time when we set it up. That is with using it approximately 3 hours/day. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that evidently the bulb cannot be replaced. However, the instructions say that you will get approximately 50,000 hours of burn time so we will see.

This light made a great Christmas gift
By Kathy
from Bloomington, IN
We now have a reading light by a chair in the middle of the room where there is no electrical outlet. We were going to have an outlet installed in the floor in the middle of the room, and that would have limited furniture placement forever. Now we still have flexibility with furniture placement and light to read by.
Can see clearly now !!
By Smiley
from Glenpool, OK.
Our living room is so open. Where we do not have access to a plug by each couch or chair. With the battery floor lamp, we can move it around and light is just right for reading shiny magazines and treading a sewing needle.

These are the wireless Bluetooth headphones that are controlled with the swipe of a finger. Unlike typical wireless headphones that leave users fumbling blindly for buttons, this model incorporates the same sensitive touchpads found in smartphones and tablets. Sliding a finger up and down the left earpiece raises or lowers the volume, while swiping a finger horizontally advances or rewinds a track. The music stops when an incoming call is received, allowing the wearer to answer using the unit's built-in microphone. With a frequency response of 20Hz to 2KHz, the 40mm drivers deliver rich sound from any audio source, while soft padding on the ear cups and headpiece lets users listen for hours in comfort. The earphones fold down for compact storage in the included zippered hard case. The rechargeable battery provides 10 hours of listening from a one-hour charge with the included USB cable. An auxiliary port and cable allow use with non-Bluetooth devices. White. 8" L x 8" W x 3" D. (8 oz.)

Wireless Headphones are Great!
By Marco the Shopper
from Afghanistan
Best Uses
So far these headphones are great and comfortable. The sound is overall good. I was expecting a bit more quality and balance in the sound. There is more bass than anything. If you listen to instruments, it doesn't sound as good. The sound is GOOD though, just not super quality. I figured out how to use them on my own. The instructions say the "Left Ear" but they mean the "Right Ear". The button on the side is also used to "Answer/End" calls and also to "Play/Pause" your audio. The finger swipe technique is that you have to hold for 1 second then swipe where ever on the "Right Ear" side. (Side with the button on it) I would definitely recommend the company make at least a small pamphlet diagramming whats what on the headphones and some brief directions on "playing with your music" and "answering calls". I love them though because of the good sound, lightweight, no wires, and overall being a cool gadget. Definitely a great buy!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

finger Swipe Headphones
By whatnickname?
from Columbus, Ohio
The swipe feature is so difficult that after a week I still cannot get it to work most of the time. No instruction manual so I don't even know if I am doing it wrong. Hit or miss; trial and error. Mostluy miss and error. Frustrating!
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comment. Please note that Touch & Swipe feature only works on the Bluetooth White Power Button side of headphone. Press and hold your ear piece to slide vertically for volume control and horizontally for moving between tracks.
