Lonzo Ball is a big ass coon for his disrespectful comments claiming Nas, a Hip-Hop GOAT is not hip hop. We understand he's young and didn't grow up on Esco, but he should learn to respect the greats, especially those of a genre he's trying to get good looks in.
I mean all the disrespect when I say Nas has inspired more rappers than Ball would ever have championship rings. And that's all facts.
Lonzo during his little bro, LaMelo Ball's 16th birthday performed a new rap song which, for those paying attention was the same song playing in the background of Melo's Melo Ball 1 signature sneaker commercial.
It turns out the track is more or less a tribute to LaMelo and his new $395 shoeline. A few days after teasing the song, Lonzo liberates the official studio version featuring vocals from Kenneth Paige.
Earlier this year, the Lakers rookie dropped a decent enough freestyle over Drake's 'Free Smoke' instrumental.

Electricity is the lifeblood of any IT system and, as such, it should be protected at all costs. With this in mind, the Middle East's smartest companies are deploying UPSs to ensure that they can continue operating during black outs.
I|~||~||~|While electricity is vital for making computing equipment work, it is also one of the biggest threats to IT hardware, as various spikes, surges, black outs and brown outs threaten to damage circuit, corrupt data and cause downtime. All of these can be guarded against however, by deploying uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices. These battery systems clean the power coming to the machine and ensure that expensive and critical equipment gets the consistent 220 volts needed, either 24x7 or for as long as is need to shut the system down properly and safely.As one of the most technologically advanced hotels in the world, the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai is reliant on a consistent electrical supply. For instance, all of the hotel's 440 televisions are connected to a PC, which enables guests to uses a variety of seven star services, including accessing digitally compressed movies on a central server. If there were to be a power outage, then guests would be unable to watch the movies, which would impact on the hotel's service levels and damage its reputation. "The Burj Al Arab is the best hotel in the world, it can't afford to have all of its services shut down, they have be on 24 hours a day," says Manuel Rozario, director of information & technology at the Burj Al Arab. "If I shut down my server it takes 15-20 minutes to bring it up again and there would be no televisions or interactive systems for guests in the hotel during that time. Such a scenario is unacceptable," he adds.To guard against this possibility, the hotel protects its servers with an online 20KVA APC UPS, which sits between the power supply and the server. The UPS smoothes out any fluctuations in the power supply, as well as enabling the hotel to maintain its service levels during any power cuts. If there is a black out, the UPS will switch in and run the IT systems off backup batteries for 20 minutes, during which time the hotel can get its generators online and working.However, it is not just the Burj Al Arab that needs to be concerned about its power supply. All organisations have data sat on IT equipment that they can't afford to lose, whether it is accounting information or customer details. Similarly, an increasing number of companies are running e-commerce or other IT-dependent services that need to be available 24x7. As such, organisations need to ensure they have access to clean power in order to protect equipment from data loss and unacceptable downtime.Companies in areas like the Gulf, where the power supply is generally very good, may think they don't need to worry about their electricity, as they are not subject to black outs caused by bad weather and winter storms. However, the area is subject to more black outs caused by construction workers, which are potentially more problematic than seasonal blacks out that can be planned for."In the Middle East, we don't get that type of [storm induced] interruption," says Philip Hughes, general manager, Middle East & Pakistan, APC "[However,] the problem here is that the power failures are more damaging because they are more unexpected... [and] we do receive lots of phone calls from people who have blown up their hard discs and had all the usual problems associated with power failures," he continues.||**||II|~||~||~|Aside from power cuts, fluctuations in the power supply can also damage sensitive equipment, either through surges that overwhelm the equipment with power, or dips when not enough power is supplied. These fluctuations are less obvious than black outs, as most electrical equipment will carry on working. "When the lights go off, one's first reaction is that there is obviously a problem with the power supply, but if there is a major problem with the quality of the power supply, that is much more difficult to see," says Malcolm Henley, managing director, BPC.Surges can happen in a variety of ways, including lightening strikes, which instantly send 10,000 volts through power cables straight into a server. More commonly though, a spike in the power supply comes when another electrical appliance, such as a large laser printer or the air conditioning, is switched off. The supply to a server can then jump from 220 volts to 250 or 260, which can form a niche on the hardware or CPU processor. This can than affect data stored on the machines, which "in some respects is even worse than having lost data, as it could have been modified and users have got no control over the discrimination of the system," notes Henley.Dips in supply can be equally as damaging as spikes because equipment will need to work on just 180 volts instead of 220 volts. These dips or brown outs often occur first thing in the morning when everyone in the building arrives and switches lots of things on. This briefly drains the power supply, restricting the amount delivered to the IT equipment."The equipment still works but it needs to work harder. Just like a marathon runner, if it works as hard and it is fed less and less, it won't be able to carry on running the same way," says Vipin Sharma, director of business development, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Tripp Lite.If the motherboards are continually forced to work harder in this way, the transistors will eventually blow off. The server will then need to be repaired or replaced, which is not only inconvenient, but also expensive as most vendors' warranties don't cover damage caused by power fluctuations.The best way to guard against both supply fluctuations and power cuts is to deploy a UPS device. These perform a dual role, as they clean the supply by smoothing out dips and surges, as well as replacing the mains power supply in the event of a black out. This battery backup time can then be used to close down applications and servers properly, or to maintain the service until either the mains power returns or generators kick in.Companies with critical systems need to have them supported by backup generators that can replace the mains power in the event of a power cut. However, they still need a UPS, as this will monitor the mains power supply and turn the generator on if needed. Furthermore, the generator will also take some time to come online, so the UPS's batteries need to maintain supply while this happens.If there is a power cut at the Burj, for instance, the UPS automatically switches the server to a back up supply. "However, suppose it takes is a minute for the back up generator to come on," says Rozario. "That minute is going to shut down my server, and it might crash and never come up, so the UPS takes over with the battery [in the interim] and allows us to keep our services running." "A generator could never react fast enough to deal with a two minute outage or a flash of lightening, so you always need a UPS with some system like batteries to protect you," agrees Carl Claunch, vice president & director of research, Gartner Group. ||**||III|~||~||~|When it comes to implementing a UPS, a company needs to decide what it wants the UPS to do. It can either be used to provide enough time for all the applications to be closed down properly, a graceful shutdown, or it can be used be to maintain supply until a backup generator kicks in, thereby ensuring 24x7 supply.A 24x7 supply strategy, which necessitates a back up generator, is needed for the most critical systems. As such, it has most commonly been used in large datacentres by companies who are heavily reliant on their IT systems. "If you talk about a large bank or a large airline, the people who are responsible for systems maintenance are at the senior vice-president level, and jobs are lost, if there is an interruption of power for even 10-15 minutes," notes Mohammad Suri, general manager, MGE UPS Systems Gulf.Most companies though, opt for the graceful shutdown approach, primarily because of the expense. "The cost of moving to the point where you have diesel generators or the point where you have the ability to operate even with a one or two day power failure is a high step," says Claunch.Also, for many organisations, especially SMBs, there is no real need for 24x7 supply, as the IT infrastructure is merely a support to the business. However, the company will need a UPS in order to properly close down applications in the event of a power cut without losing any data. "For them (SMBs) it's not crucial to have the system running all the time, the accountant could go off and have lunch, for example, as it's not earning him money at that time. What is critical is that he doesn't lose the information that's already on the computer," says Hughes.When the Hilton Ras Al Khaimah recently suffered a power cut, it was forced to graceful shut down its systems, as the backup generator was also offline. As such, the UPS kicked in and provided the power needed while staff turned off their PCs, which were all networked to the UPS. This then provided enough power for the shutdown without any loss of data or damage to equipment."[The power cut] lasted almost 45 minutes, so we had to ask everybody to shut down… The UPS supports a full load for 15 minutes, but we asked everybody to shut down within half an hour, so the UPS did not go down because we didn't have any load on it," explains Babu Varghese, IT manager, Hilton Ras Al Khaimah.Coping with shutdowns is made easier by the management tools integrated into UPS devices. At the Burj Al Arab, a message automatically pops up on the systems administrator's PC to alert them to a power problem. However, not every organisation has 24x7 onsite support and, as such, more advanced management tools offer remote messaging, such as SMS.The UPSs are also able to close down servers in the event of a power cut, which means that a graceful shutdown can be carried out without any human intervention."If there is a power failure, it [the UPS] will check how long the battery has to run. It will advise the network administrator what's going to happen and prior to any catastrophic power outage it will shut down the applications," explains Hughes.Aside from servers, UPSs can also be used to support other pieces of critical IT infrastructure, such as routers. At the Burj, for instance, the 48 edge routers are also supported by centrally managed UPSs. "That's where the data comes from and as switches are pretty suspect to power fluctuations, we use UPS to make sure they are always on," notes Rozario. "Whenever you design any system, you have to think about the power and deploy the necessary solutions," he concludes.||**||

On the selective outrage of Maria Ressa and Raissa Robles
So, they (local & foreign media) can denigrate the president & his supporters. They can exaggerate & splice his statements. They can destabilize the country, wittingly or unwittingly--all in the name of 'freedom of expression'.
But when people cry foul, call them out, or unfollow them--
RESSA calls it 'silencing' the media.
RAISSA calls it 'a serious, systematic attempt to denigrate the media'.
In fairness, um-oo agad ang Jim and retweet agad ang Leah! Supportive sila sa isa't isa, at iilan na lang kasi sila sabay nawawala pa yata si Cynthia.

The Hamptons is bursting at the seams with great art shows right now. There's good stuff all over the place, but here's a few selections to get you started this weekend, August 7-9, 2015.
Continue your exploration of the East End art scene with more great exhibitions in our online events calendar at events.danspapers.com.
1. Roy Lichtenstein: Between Sea and Sky at Guild Hall (illustrated above)
Open Saturday, August 8–October 12, this exhibition explores a different side of late local Pop Art legend Roy Lichtenstein's work. In 1964 he began to explore the genre of land and seascapes, notably here on the East End, where he lived. Using paint, plastic, enamel, drawings, collage, print and even film to realize the 30 works (from the 1960s-1990s) in this show, Lichtenstein's seascapes were an essential part of his lifelong exploration of psychological optics, light and his keen observations on the nature of field and ground. A collaboration between Guild Hall and the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, Roy Lichtenstein: Between Sea and Sky celebrates the artist's abiding relationship with the East End of Long Island and all that it inspired.
Open 7 days a week 12-5 p.m. through Labor Day at Guild Hall (158 Main Street) in East Hampton. Call 631-324-0806 or visit guildhall.org.
2. Darius Yektai: Touch Thoughts at Tripoli Gallery
Open through September 6, Yektai's fourth solo exhibition at Tripoli Gallery in Southampton seeks to demonstrate the range of the artist's recent work as he blurs the lines between painting and sculpture. Gestural and expressive, his explorations in oil, concrete, wood, resin and other materials go beyond traditional modes of painting while simultaneously paying homage to his predecessors. As per the show's title, Touch takes on various forms in Yektai's creative process, exposing different moments, moods and thoughts. The finished artwork relays these thoughts to the viewer.
Tripoli Gallery is located at 30A Jobs Lane in Southampton. Call 631-377-3715 or visit tripoligallery.com.
3. Andreas Gursky: Landscapes at the Parrish Art Museum
The Parrish Art Museum just opened this fantastic exploration of Andreas Gursky's photography with the landscape in mind. As Museum director Terrie Sultan explains, "landscape" in this case can be considered in the traditional sense, the state of things, an emotional state or historically. However one perceives it, Gursky's large scale works are mind-boggling, stunning and masterful in their execution. These works do what all fine art photography should: show the viewer something that could not be accomplished with another medium. The artist knows exactly what he's doing and he's doing it well.
The Parrish Art Museum is located at 279 Montauk Highway in Water Mill. Call 631-283-2118 or visit parrishart.org.
4. Nature's End at Dodds & Eder
This group show featuring photographs by Gary Bartolini and James Slezak and seascapes by oil painter James Johansen. Open through August 22, the exhibition intermingles the photographs and paintings to excellent effect. Bartolini uses infrared film to capture the light aura of plants in his large format photos, while Slezak puts together various outdoor subjects in nearly seamless Photoshop collages, which have become his signature look and present a clearly defined voice all his own. Johansen's vibrant seascapes put the viewer right on the shore.
Dodds & Eder is located at 11 Bridge Street in Sag Harbor. Call 631-725-1175 or visit zeigerarts.com.
5. Upcycle at The Design Studio
Brought to the Hamptons by Riverdale gallery Elisa Contemporary, this exhibition celebrates artwork created from all recycled materials. Artists on view—including Joseph Dermody, Carole Eisner, Aurora Robson, Adriana Rostovsky and Cheryl Wassenaar—recycle, reuse and re-envision newspaper, magazines, junk mail, commercial signage, plastic scraps and strips, caps & bottles, wood, steel, tools, drills and metal parts to create dazzling one of a kind works of art. The exhibit runs through September 20th.
On Saturday, August 8, The Design Studio will hold a special recycled art workshop for kids, ages 8-12 from 12:30–2 p.m. (sign up required). A Sake and Sweets reception with artist Joseph Dermody will follow from 4–6 p.m. The Design Studio is located at 2393 Main Street in Bridgehampton.

The Internet Society is sponsoring a World IPv6 Day to provide the first global test of the Internet infrastructure changes needed to support the new IPv6 [Internet Protocol, version 6] addressing scheme, on June 8, 2011. Several major Internet services, including Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, and Akamai, have agreed to take part in a 24-hour test of the new facilities.
The goal of the Test Drive Day is to motivate organizations across the industry – Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors and web companies – to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out.
The current method of Internet addressing, IPv4, has been in use since the early 1980s. It uses 32-bit numerical addresses, usually written in the familiar "dotted decimal" notation; this gives the decimal value of each octet of the address, separated by periods. For example, a local address of this machine is 10.113.2.167. (Network geeks will recognize that this is a non-routable IPv4 address.) The problem with IPv4 is that the world is just about out of available addresses. There are various work-arounds, notably NAT [Network Address Translation], but these don't really solve the underlying problem. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, resulting in a very much larger potential address space with 2128 possible addresses (about 3.4×1038), which should hold us for a while.
Progress in implementing the new standard has not been as quick as many would like. As an article at Network World reports, the IPv6 facilities that are currently in place are in many cases not directly tied to a service's main site.
The day-long IPv6 trial is a critical development for content providers such as Google and Facebook, which until now have been supporting IPv6 at separate, dedicated Web addresses rather than on their main traffic-heavy Web sites. Google, for example, says it will enable IPv6 on its main Web sites – including http://www.google.com and http://www.youtube.com – for World IPv6 Day.
Currently, IPv6 traffic represents only a fraction of one percent of total Internet traffic; one of the important objectives of the test is to check that the infrastructure can handle the expected large increase in IPv6 activity.
This is an important step to test technical facilities, and also to nudge service providers and others to make sure that the new standard is fully supported, before we reach the point where Internet performance begins to sag under the weight of too many kludges. I'm hoping it all goes well; but if I were scheduling a critical Internet roll-out, I think I'd pick a day other than June 8.

Perhaps it's the rain that puts them in melancholy mood. But apparently it also makes them horny. In the bedroom, after a passionate making out session, Xavier pulls down Jackson's jeans and it's his boyfriend's sweet, perfect ass like he's eating a succulent, juicy peach. Jackson turns around after a while to service Xavier's big cock then gives up his ass for a good fuck that's definitely on the romantic side. And you know that ass must be good because Xavier pulls out and sprays an enormous amount of jizz all over Jackson's ass before seeding him. Xavier continues fucking Jackson bareback, pounding away, thrusting in and out until Jackson blows his own wad all over his taut belly. But stick around because Xavier fires off yet one more load, blasting all that seed all over Jackson's chest. If this is how the celebrate their first year together, we can't wait for their second year anniversary!31 July 2018 链接: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1HL3J0JNIDClbtXkZRfV2vg 密码: w5dg 情色 无套 bareback gv SouthernStrokes 获取链接 Facebook Twitter Pinterest 电子邮件 其他应用 评论 发表评论

SB 185 would allow health-care providers to refuse to participate in a health-care service that violates their conscience if the health-care provider has objected in writing prior to being asked to provide that service. The bill would also immunize health-care providers from civil and criminal liability based on their refusal to participate, except when their refusal would immediately endanger the life of a patient.
The bill would prevent any kind of discrimination or retaliation against health-care providers who refuse to participate in health-care services that violate their conscience. The bill would also allow students to refuse to participate in health-care services and would prohibit penalizing a student if that student subscribes to a particular position on one or more of the four health-care services [abortion, human cloning, human embryonic stem cell research, and sterilization].
The bill defines "conscience" as "the religious, moral, or ethical principles held by a health care provider."
The bill defines "health care service" as "patient medical care, treatment or procedure that is limited to abortion, human cloning, human embryonic stem cell research, and sterilization, and is related to: Testing, diagnosis or prognosis, research, instruction, prescribing, dispensing or administering any device, drug, or medication, surgery, or any other care or treatment rendered or provided by health care providers."

EACH week we profile a member of The Northern Echo's Camera Club. Today it's the turn of Ash Simpson, from Thornaby, Stockton
Who or what inspired you to take up photography?
I TOOK up photography because it frees my mind, I enjoy it and it's good for the soul. It helps me relax, think about our environment, the world we live in and the importance of others and our surroundings. It is can be good exercise, travelling, exploring and seeing different places. It is also a good way to socialise. My Uncle Matt, and friend Karl Bauer have been an inspiration to me. Their work is outstanding.
What was your first camera?
I WAS young and can't remember exactly – it was a 35mm film camera. I didn't even know how to load the film. My first DSLR was a Canon 550D. I regret selling this as it was great. I would still get one to this day.
Is there anything in particular you enjoy photographing?
I ENJOY photographing seascapes most because it's good to get fresh air, walking and seeing things in a different light at sunrise and sunset. The weather, lighting, tides and other elements are unpredictable. No photo is the same, there's lots of opportunities. It can also be quite dangerous and challenging depending on these circumstances, so there's a thrill factor as well.
Your favourite picture?
A SEASCAPE from Blackhall Rocks springs to mind. The lighting wasn't great in terms of colour from the sunrise but I was happy I got the composition how I wanted it.
Your go-to kit at the moment?
YASHICA Mat 124g. This is an old medium format camera manufactured between 1970 and 1986. I use it because it's unique, it produces amazing images due to the medium format film area – 6x6 which is bigger than a full frame DSLRs sensor.
Any advice for budding photographers?
THERE is no right or wrong. If someone likes or dislikes your work then you as an artist win every time. This is because you have made the viewer react in a certain way or feel the need to give critique and have an opinion to begin with. If you as an artist like it then it's good. Nothing else matters, do what makes you enjoy and makes you happy.

How to mix gases. Gas Blender vs. Mass Flow Controllers. Learn more about our revolutionary technology.
When we talk about gas mixing, gas flow meter control, or gas blending, we all know that the current standard method needs the using of very expensive premixed cylinders, one for every single gas involved in the process. Then we would need 1 mass flow controller per every single source of gas, a power supply unit, a tubing system, a manual experience, quite long time at disposition and a bunch of patience.
Isn't it?
Well we think that this system, moreover if we need gas flow ratios below the 500 mL/min, is not only antiquated, obsolete, but even wrong.
A regular mass flow controller is completely inadeguate to measure and regulate small ratios keeping at same moment a stable flow. In some cases the experiments and the processes suffer such miscalculations that it would be impossible to bring them forward.
We had these experiences with unnumbered relevant Universities and Companies around the globe. Who was searching solutions for cancer, who for food and beverage maintenance, who for instruments development, who for gas sensor, chromatograph, or mass spectometer calibration, who for incubators. And well, yes, we found a solution for anyone of them.
We have completely revolutionized the working system and we have developed a series of Gas Mixers perfect to mix or dilute gas or control gas flow meters with an incredible precision.
— Gas Blender vs. Mass Flow Controllers —
The Gas Blender Series. A compact box that resume a full laboratory. Now all our customers do not need anymore to wait months before seeing they customized cylinder of specific gas and guess results based on unbalanced measurements, but using pure gases, they can now make the gas mixtures by themselves and regulate the final gas mixing or dilution directly through a single instrument and its native software.
Just connect up to 6 sources of gases to our Gas Mixers, open the software, and start immediately to create your own mixture.
– Incredible accuracy even with micro-flows near the 1mL/min with NO CUT-OFF.
– The fastest devices of the market.
– No more useless laboratory's space occupied by many devices, but only a single compact box.
– Software included with the possibility of a FULL automation! I mean, seriously, the instruments can do everything by itself.
The innovation is so deep that we are able also to create fully automated systems with a loop feedback for incubators, chambers or bioreactors. We called it Feedback Control Technology. A robotic connection of multi-instruments to monitoring with automation a constant measurement of the selected amount of gas mixture, with an active action when the measure change.
Well. Are you sure do you want to continue with a Mass Flow Controller system?
Contact us for more info.
Have a good gas mixing.

Something went wrong.
In what is definitely a proud moment for all Jamaicans, a Glenmuir High School student, Darian Douglas, has successfully moved to the final of the Scripps National Spelling Bee to be held in Washington, D.C., United States. Darian was the champion in the Gleaner's Children's Own Spelling Bee contest held earlier this year.
Only Jamaican to Go Through
Darian is one among only 50 out of the 565 children who competed, to have been sent through to the next level, which is the final round. It is also to be noted that there were three other participants from the island but, they were unable to qualify for the final round. The three who could not make it are Titchfield High's Rhonoya Anderson, Honey Advani of Heinz Simonitsch School and Ashleigh Jarrett of Immaculate Conception High.
More Details on the Spelling Bee Championship
The Scripps National Spelling Bee is an annual fixture and the final is always held in Washington D.C. Though on paper, this is a national level competition in the US, it does attract students from other countries too, including Jamaica. There is an age restriction and a few other conditions that the participants have to follow. The age restriction is that the participants cannot be over the age of 14 years as on August 31, the previous year. This means for a participant to be eligible to take part in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 2019, the boy or girl should not have crossed the age of 14 years as on August 31, 2018. In addition, they should not have passed the 8th grade of school as of the month of February of the year the competition is held.
The competition has been televised live on ESPN over the past several years.

FULL MOON/LUNAR ECLIPSE in ARIES, September 27/28, 2015 – Get out of the darkness and ride the energetic wave
As Yogi Berra once said, "It's not over 'til it's over". Let me say it in another way- It doesn't change until it changes. The Equinox came in early yesterday morning. What does this season mean to you? What will you accomplish and move forward on in the next 3 months? Along with the Equinox the FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE in ARIES approaches. As I write this post the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis Bergoglio arrived in Washington D.C. He will then go on to New York City and Philadelphia. He arrives in Philadelphia for September 26 and 27. This will be a most interesting weekend for those in the area. Celebration of the one Mass by the Pope will draw over 1 million people on the Parkway. Don't plan on moving too quickly and if you are in the city, you stay in the city. No way out!
Yom Kippur also took place on the Equinox. Sukkot is on September 28. It is interesting to note that this is a very significant week of major turning points for many. Before that is addressed let me say this. The Pope meets with Congress and President Obama, says Mass and then goes to New York for Mass including an address to the UN. Apparently he was supposed to meet with Putin since Russia holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council in September but Vatican said it isn't happening. I think it is more than just addressing climate change. It is being said that it about coming together in a new economic world government and technocracy. Is that really going to happen? Since this is the fourth tetra Blood Moon of 2014-2015 it is certainly not what it seems. There is also talk of a monetary reset (doubt that will happen in September but can show up in at a meeting in December); which could indicate a redistribution of wealth. If you don't think that this visit by the Pope was planned due to the Lunar Eclipse, think again. And no the world is not ending. But the traffic may be at a standstill from Friday on in Philadelphia Metro area.
The FULL MOON/ Lunar Eclipse in Aries (Sun in opposition in Libra) arrives on Sunday/early Monday September 27/28, 2015 at 10:50pm EDT; 7:50pm PDT; and 2:50am GMT. It is in 4 degrees 40'. Those affected by this most intensely will be those whose birthdays are from September 22-October 2; December 22-January 2; March 21- March 31; and June 23-July 3. If you have personal planets that are in or around 1-8 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn along with Sun and Moon then you may be affected emotionally also. The influences will last for more than a couple of weeks. Since it is a total eclipse of the moon you may wish to ask yourself–how are you being held in the dark? The last time there was an eclipse within a minute or less of this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse was on September 26, 1996. What were you doing back then and what are you looking to do at this time? How can you integrate what you learned back then into your life at this time? Life was grand for me back then and the months that followed were especially joyful filled with many interactions with new individuals in my life in work and play. Very insightful and growth-oriented it was.
This Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon in Aries/Sun in Libra is about relating. Yes, you still need to look at the relationships in your life and decide if and how they are working. Sitting with the Full Moon are the asteroids of Vesta and Juno. Juno is in Libra with the Sun and represents marriage/ full partnership. Juno was married to Jupiter and she struggled for equality in her relationship. This conjunction and presence with the Eclipse is a turning point and portal opening that moves you forward. Harmony and balance of the masculine and feminine is the main point here. Also Vesta in Aries is conjunct the Full Moon and it says that a new paradigm in relationships is the key of this influence. Without it, there continues to be the co-dependency that exists in relationships. You need to take a leap out of the old and recreate a new thought pattern and allow the balance to energize your relationships. You need self-control on October 1; manipulation may occur on October 6 (Pluto square Sun); and also on the same day watch for tense relationships.
Mercury is retrograde until October 10 and will be in the shadow until November. No fretting about it but just keep an eye on how things are running since the Trickster likes to appear when you least expect it. Mercury retro is about revisiting what isn't working particularly in relationships this time around and how much your ego is ruling your life. Take advantage of reorganizing your thinking and clear out the clutter once and for all in the next month.
Saturn is now in Sagittarius since last week. I posted a blurb about it last week. Also Jupiter in Virgo is surging forward but will be content in Virgo for the next year It is also a lucky influence so if you don't know where it is occurring in your life comment and I will let you know. This is a time to reap rewards of anything you may have intended at the New Moon. Of course, that Solar Eclipse on September 13 will continue to influence you for at least the next 4-6 months. Jupiter in Virgo will be opposing Neptune in Pisces which says major paranoia to me. Who is out to get you in your mind? Saturn in Sagittarius will be squaring Neptune in Pisces. What beliefs do you have to let go of already? Let them dissolve in the wave that takes them out of your life.
With the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse falling near the Equinox there will be many new codes being downloaded into the collective consciousness. A big wave of energy is descending on the Earth.There has been so much talk about Ascension (shifting of the energetic frequency) and how so many are going to be in the 5D realm in the next year. I do think there has been a significant shifting taking place and it will become more intense. Ascension is a personal process. If you have revenge, resentment, ego-centered actions, lack of forgiveness or any other negative emotional behavior you will need to clear it out. It is holding you back. To say It will happen within a particular timeframe tells me that something else is going on here. Deception is rampant. Do you really think that everyone is in alignment with their GOD self? That is the only way anyone can reach a higher frequency/vibration. It is not something that can be forced. Of course many will just sit in the dream without moving anywhere except within a certain circle. It is a choice whether you wish to take a cosmic leap. Ascension will take place when your own darkness leaves and you become in balance, not before. And speaking of dark energies those in the world who are the controllers are not going away easily. This is just my perspective on it. Life is challenging at times and this is why I feel that many do not wish to experience their life totally. Walk through what you create, connect with the God self and your vibration will be high and major shifting within will occur.
Thank you dear ones for reading and please share with others. Have a beautiful couple of weeks and stay tuned for the New Moon on October 12. Be blessed. Until again. Love, Jan

My friend invited me back to make cupcakes for her a second time! I sure had fun with them! She gave me poetic license, so I tried my hand at fondant. Although they sure looked cute, her girls called it "fondue" and told the guests they could pull it off! (Oops!)
These cupcakes were chocolate covered cherry - two way - per request of the 5 year-old birthday girl. Yum!
This design, engineered originally by Sweetopolita, was a 'blonde' version with white girardhelli chocolate chunks sharing a presence with cherries in the white cake, topped with girardhelli white chocolate frosting. I used sour cherries candies for the "cherry on top."
The devil's food cake showed off dark chocolate girardhelli chunks with chopped cherries inside. The frosting was this fellow-St. Louisan's maraschino cherry buttercream recipe! {And I don't even like soda anymore (since falling in love with icee mochas), but I'm pretty sure I'll be buying that Kool Kola extract she recommends here!}
Thanks, KF, for letting me try my hand at baking again! ;)

ROME — With the demolition of the Liberty George Parking Garage days from getting underway, Rome's Downtown Revitalization Initiative projects are starting to take shape.
The parking structure has to come down because a structural analysis found it was unable to be repaired, Rome Mayor Jacqueline Izzo said.
Because of that project getting started, parking downtown will be restricted sometime in the following week or so, possibly as early as today. The roughly $1.3 million project will take the parking garage from a structure to a parking lot with landscaping features.
"The intention was always to have public surface parking at the conclusion of the project on part of the parcel," Izzo said. "Eventually, we would like to see a housing project there, along with the public parking. The public parking will remain forever, so if there is a private housing project there, the stipulations will include the public parking element."
The demolition will begin the week of April 1, depending on the weather and progress made by the contractor, Izzo said.
Parking rules will be suspended on Giglotti Avenue and Boardman Lane for the duration of the project, which is expected to be finished by the end of June.
The city traffic maintenance department will soon remove the two-hour parking signs on Giglotti Avenue and replace them with no parking signs, a notice said.
Once parking has been banned, the contractor will put up a construction fence around the project area.
There will be alternative parking available at Rome City Hall, Saint Mary's Church on West Liberty Street, West Dominick Street, Erie Boulevard and the Redeemer Church on North Washington Street.
The hard surface on Giglotti Avenue between the curb and the West Dominick Street facing building will not be available for parking at any time.
Izzo said the changes are just the beginning of the DRI projects that will transform the downtown area and hopefully draw more people to live and work in the city. Next up is the work to be done on the Liberty James Parking Garage.
"This parking garage is the first demo project," she said. "You'll also see the walkway between the Liberty James garage and city hall will be coming down very soon, that contract has been awarded. The business development fund is about to make awards very soon as well. So the DRI is underway. It's exciting, but there's a lot of things that have to happen altogether as we get these projects underway. … It's going to be great for the next couple of years with construction in the downtown — there will be a lot of change."

Body Meridian System
The meridian system is also called channel network, is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine about a path through which the life-energy know as 'qi' flows. How we think, feel, act, in our daily lives can directly affect the channel network and cause them to be open and free flowing, or blocked and congested.
Twelve Primary Channels
The twelve standard meridians, also called Principal Meridians, are divided into Yin and Yang groups. The Yin meridians of the arm are Lung, Heart, and Pericardium. The Yang meridians of the arm are Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and Triple Burner. The Yin Meridians of the leg are Spleen, Kidney, and Liver. The Yang meridians of the leg are Stomach, Bladder, and Gall Bladder.
Lung Channel Crystal Healing 7″ Stretch Bracelet
Most active: 3a-5a
Stones: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Blue Chalcedony, Moss Agate, Flourite, Clear Quartz, Rutilated Quartz
Harmonize: Grief, Disappointment, Sadness, Despair, Shame
Enhance: Righteousness, Dignity, Integrity, High Self- Esteem
Quality: All of the stones found in this bracelet are extremely high quality, which allows for their benefits to be fully received by the wearer.
One of a Kind Pieces: Due to the color variations found in each of the stones, the images you see of the jewelry may not be the exact piece of jewelry you will be receiving. Each stone is hand picked for the best possible combination of esthetic appeal and healing quality to be contained within each piece.
Prices are subject to change without notice based on the availability and use of each semi-precious stone.
*Shipping amounts are estimated and we may need to contact you if any adjustments need to be made that will affect the total price. Thank you.

Football position breakdown: Receivers
By Brad McGuffin —
It is the third week of our position breakdown series, with the receivers taking their turn under the spotlight. We have already looked at the quarterback and running back positions.
In 2017, Louisville's receivers tallied 277 receptions, 3,898 yards and 29 touchdowns. As a team, the Cardinals averaged just under 300 yards per game.
With the departure of Lamar Jackson, the offense is obviously going to look much different. Nonetheless, the top three receivers from 2017 are returning for the upcoming season, along with the addition of freshmen who look to make an immediate impact for the Cards.
Jaylen Smith, senior
2017 stats: 60 receptions for 980 yards (16.3 yards per reception) and five touchdowns
Smith led all receivers last year in receptions and yards. He also dealt with a wrist injury throughout the season that sidelined him for three games.
Nonetheless, Smith finally appears to be fully healthy and has participated in offseason workouts. After finishing third in the ACC in receiving yards last season, look for the senior to contend for All-ACC and possibly All-American honors.
Dez Fitzpatrick, redshirt sophomore
2017 stats: 45 receptions for 699 yards (15.5 yards per reception) and nine touchdowns
Fitzpatrick certainly turned the heads of Cardinal fans during the spring game this past April, and the redshirt sophomore seeks to do the same during the 2018 season.
Last year Fitzpatrick sprung onto the scene as a redshirt freshman, leading the receivers with nine touchdowns.
Seth Dawkins, junior
2017 stats: 42 receptions for 642 yards (15.3 yards per reception) and four touchdowns
Dawkins enters his junior season after a solid sophomore year. In 2017, the Ohio native had at least one catch in all 12 games.
The trio of Smith, Fitzpatrick and Dawkins will provide stability on an offense with a new signal caller.
Marcus Riley, freshman
2017 stats: N/A
Three-star prospect Riley was rated as the No. 20 athlete from the state of Florida out of high school. At Rickards in Tallahassee, Riley threw for over 3,500 yards with seven receiving touchdowns.
Jatavious Harris, freshman
2017 stats: N/A
Harris was rated as the No. 53 prospect from the state of Georgia, in addition to winning the 100 meter state championship with a 10.6 second run.
The 6-foot-1 Georgia native is extremely athletic and comes to Louisville with the potential to make his mark. Harris chose the Cards over schools like Florida, Duke, Vanderbilt, Ohio State and NC State.
Chatarius Atwell, freshman
2017 stats: N/A
Atwell is a speedster from Miami with the ability to possibly fill a role at slot receiver.
Overall, head coach Bobby Petrino's 2018 recruiting class is impressive and highlighted by receivers with the potential to make an immediate impact.

¹Personal Loans Rate and Terms Disclosure: Rates for personal loans provided by lenders on the Credible platform range between 3.99-35.99% APR with terms from 24 to 84 months. Rates presented include lender discounts for enrolling in autopay and loyalty programs, where applicable. Actual rates may be different from the rates advertised and/or shown and will be based on the lender's eligibility criteria, which include factors such as credit score, loan amount, loan term, credit usage and history, and vary based on loan purpose. The lowest rates available typically require excellent credit, and for some lenders, may be reserved for specific loan purposes and/or shorter loan terms. The origination fee charged by the lenders on our platform ranges from 0% to 8%. Each lender has their own qualification criteria with respect to their autopay and loyalty discounts (e.g., some lenders require the borrower to elect autopay prior to loan funding in order to qualify for the autopay discount).

For example, if you receive a $10,000 loan with a 36-month term and a 17.98% APR (which includes a 14.32% yearly interest rate and a 5% one-time origination fee), you would receive $9,500 in your account and would have a required monthly payment of $343.33.

PUBLISHED: 12:02 26 August 2016 | UPDATED: 12:02 26 August 2016
The Principal of Ark Academy has praised her students after she saw them improve on GCSE results from last year.
70 percent of students received A* to C grades in maths and English, while there were severak success stories throughout the school.
Student Daniel Hunt scored eleven A*s and one A, and couldn't hide his excitement:
"I was hoping to do well, but I'm excited I've done this well," he said.
"French was a surprise as I don't think I'm that good at it but I managed to get the grade so it was great."
And Principal Delia Smith was quick to praise the current cohort for their achievements:
"This is a fantastic achievement and an improvement from last year," she said.
"We are very pleased with the increased number of students achieving A*- Bs including English and Maths.
There were so many individual stand outs and what I'm really pleased about is what a strong Sixth Form we will have next year with so many of them joining us."

Peerless Watercolor's Cut-Off Mystery Grab Bag of Wonder
Over here at the Peerless Color labs all of our paints are made by hand, stamped by hand, and packaged by hand. We have the calluses to prove it!
During the course of that process we have to trim some of our paints to make them fit correctly and uphold the Peerless standard of quality.
Up to this point in time, those cut-offs would be tossed aside and we have been collecting them since it just didn't feel right to recycle them quite yet.
With some much needed input from our Facebook and Instagram followers we have decided to offer them up as a grab bag of random, un-labeled paint! This is a great way to try out our paint, introduce someone else to our watercolors, or get a bunch of paint for yourself at a great price!
Each grab bag will include ~1.2 oz of paint. Which doesn't sound like a lot but believe me, when it comes to Peerless Watercolors, that is a ton of paint. I tried (and hopefully succeeded) to include pictures that accurately displayed the massive quantity of paint included in the bag.
These paints are all unlabeled and not of a uniform size (which in my opinion is part of the fun.)
For every grab bag sold we will also be donating a grab bag to one of our local elementary school's art programs!

I wasn't able to post yesterday. I'm still having trouble with my phone. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times – like yesterday and today – my texts will come back, and my pictures won't go anywhere. Weird. It might be that this place is just too remote for consistent service….I don't know. Then again it might be something that I'm doing or not doing, because this is my first iphone……but of course I always prefer to avoid personal responsibility if at all possible.
So….even though yesterday was a wash Blog-wise, I'd still like to fill you in on my adventure. I did end up climbing that mountain with the young Canadian Artist. There were no plateaus – it was just uphill the whole way! Ugh! I had to stop at least four times to catch my breath! I was making noises that were a cross between Godzilla and those aliens in the movie GalaxyQuest. My Canadian friend looked a little alarmed, but he was polite and patient. Finally we made it to the top and then it was just a quick walk through the woods to the castle, which is actually a Hotel – the Hotel Schloss Weitenburg. You can see it there at the top. What a beautiful place! We sat outside and ordered coffee. It cost more than Starbucks but it was worth it – there's a view of the whole valley with miles and miles of gorgeous German countryside! It was unbelievable! Once it was time to go, the walk down the mountain was surprisingly easy – perhaps my legs we're still in shock…. Later that night a bunch of us walked to the pub in the village. They had live music with folk singers from America. I ended up sitting and chatting with a woman who spoke English. We had a good time! It was a great day!
Okay so….even though I can't post my pics from my mountain trek yesterday, here's some shots from a recent walk into town.
This first picture is of the ArtSpace where I'm staying. #kunstortELEVENartspace It was once a school, but now it's been converted into an ArtSpace offering Residency's to Artists from all over the world. How cool is that! The second picture is the view down the driveway.
Red rooftops, green fields, blue skies….gorgeous!
See that castle perched above the treetops? That's the Hotel Schloss Weitenburg.
Bujukai is a self-defense school where they teach martial arts.
All of these beautiful homes nestled in the gorgeous German countryside is just daily life in the village….
The Village Museum Börstingen has exhibits dedicated to life and the world of work during the 19th and 20th centuries in Börstingen, and is divided into the sections of work, nutrition, seasons and life in the village.
Tomorrow morning I'm meeting with the Director of the Art Park in Horb. His name is Michael and he's really nice! He doesn't speak very much English and I don't speak any German. We're going to talk about an art project in the Park. This should be interesting…..
I'll keep you posted.

I often hear people say that they "aren't crafty." However, I think anyone can learn to craft.
In this world where people share their finished projects on Instagram and Pinterest, it can be hard to remember that it's not about the end product. However, the healing is all in the process.
That's why today, I wanted to share with you an excerpt from the introduction of my book Hook to Heal: 100 Crochet Exercises For Health, Growth, Connection, Inspiration and Honoring Your Inner Artist. I really wanted to start off by encouraging people to embrace their inner artist. I hope this post encourages the same for you.
I Am An Artist. So Are You.
Bear with me if you don't believe that yet.
We all create. We do it in ways big and small every single day, intentionally and unintentionally.
We create personal fashion styles through the clothes we select and combine and wear at different times in our lives.
We create magical moments when we say the right word at the right time or allow the right space to happen when things need to pause.
We create relationships with others.
We create ourselves. Creation, creativity … it's at the heart of all that we do. And yet there remain so many people who deny their creativity. I find this all too often in my life and it especially saddens me when I see it in the craft community where people are making something by hand every single day and yet hesitate to name themselves as creative, let alone as artists!
You Are The Only You
I am here to encourage you to own those names and honor them because in doing so you make more room for creativity and art in your life. The world thrives when each of us creates in the way that is truest to our hearts, when we do it often, when we do it daily, when we create in every single breath that we take and word choice that we make and stitch that we pull up onto a crochet hook.
We are each born with a unique self and this self gets information and input and influences all throughout the course of life. There is no one else in the entire history of the universe who has had that same combination. You are the only you.
Your Creative Self Adds to the World
I believe that it adds value to the entire world when you share that unique self with others through your creativity. We are all connected, we are all contributing to a piece of a larger whole that is this world and this history that we both inherit and create, and we each have the responsibility to become our best, fullest, truest selves in order to give the most back to that bigger thing beyond us.
How magical it is that in doing that we also get to be entirely self-focused in the sense that we get to turn deeply inwards and really hear and experience our own truths as valid? We get to have our own original unique experience and expression and simply by doing that we offer something to the world around us.
I believe that this is an amazing opportunity, a true gift, and also a responsibility. I believe that when we fail to become our fullest creative selves, the world loses out. And I believe that when we denigrate or dismiss our creative abilities, when we are too scared to call ourselves artists and too timid to carve out the time to intentionally create, that we are doing damage to the world around us because we are not giving it our maximum potential.
Some have said that it is selfish to take time to create art. I know of people who crochet that hide their yarn stash and lie about the amount of time that they spend on their craft because they feel guilty, thinking that they are being selfish by indulging "wastefully" in this craft that no one else understands.
However, the opposite is true; it is when we don't create art and when we don't take time for crafting that we are really being selfish, because it is in the act of not owning our full creative potential that we do the most harm to others around us. I believe that the only way to be our best selves is to take the time to understand our own inner experience and then to express that through creativity.
Honoring Your Creativity Heals You
And I believe that in doing that we heal ourselves. The best thing for the world is for the world to consist of healthy, happy people. When we each do our best to become our most well selves, we help make the world well again. I believe that through creativity, art, and craft we are able to improve every aspect of our lives, from our own abilities in work and play to our relationships with others.
Listen to me carefully … you are an artist. You with your hook and yarn are creating something that has never before existed in quite the same way as the way that you are making it. Yes, even if you are a beginner at crochet. Yes, even if you always follow patterns to the letter.
Because every stitch is an act of creation, every choice you make in the selection of patterns adds up to a body of crafted work that is unique from any other that has been made by another crafter. It may not be comfortable yet to call yourself an artist. It may be scary to say that you are going to own your creativity and make it a priority. That's okay. It's okay to be scared. Do it anyway.

Of all the Love Island couples to have emerged from this year's batch of hairless, bronzed hunks and babes, Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies have seemed the strongest.
But that may be set to change as it's revealed Kem is still describing himself as single to his friends and family.
Despite the couple winning the £50,000 prize, beating other couples like Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood, and Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville to the cash, Kem is resolutely single on his Facebook page.
Not only that, but the two aren't even friends on the social media network - let alone 'Facebook official'.
Kem's private account has scant information about what he's up to, which could mean he rarely uses it since his Love Island fame.
But while there is an option for users to withhold their relationship status from nosy browsers, Kem hasn't done so.
Instead, he calls himself single and even has information about being 'interested in women'.
A source told Mirror Online: "Kem is going around like the dutiful boyfriend but he still considers himself single.
"He and Amber might be making a lot of money together but he doesn't see them as a serious couple.
"He's still very much single on his Facebook account."
Despite this, Kem and Amber appear much more loved up in public and regularly tweet each other in front of their combined 670,000 followers.
They've both met each other's families, with Amber describing Kem's mum Figen Cetinay as her "second momma" in an Instagram post just days after they left the villa.
But Figen spoke out against Amber during her time on the show, revealing that while she supported Kem's happiness, she worried that the Welsh dancer was out for what she could get.
"I worry she's playing games with Kem and being immature," the glamorous mum told New! magazine around the time of Kamber's split.
"I think she's fishing to see what's out there. I do think Kem will make the right decision in the end. But if he made the decision to stay with Amber I would support him no matter what my views are."
The couple didn't have the smoothest of rides inside the villa, regularly fighting over their feelings for each other and at one point recoupling with other Islanders to explore their options.
But they eventually reconciled, and Amber was talking about wanting to get married to her Love Island beau within days of returning home.
Kem even told OK! magazine last week that they were planning their dream wedding, which would involve a week of celebrations spread across three locations - Wales, Essex and Cyprus.
They also spoke about wanting a family, revealing they'd already discussed how many children they'd have and their names.
However, Kem seemed to do an about-turn at the weekend when he was spotted at V Festival with best mate Chris Hughes.
"There's no way me and Amber are getting engaged, married kids or anything any time soon," he told the Sun.
"We're treating this exactly like we would a relationship on the outside. Our only problem is right now is that we don't see enough of each other, but we're getting on so well."
Not well enough to change that Facebook status, though.
Mirror Online has contacted Kem's rep for comment, but received no reply.

This is the time of the year to begin trimming a couple of our favorite plants. Crape Myrtles and the new knockout and drift roses.
Crape Myrtles are best trimmed from the middle of January until the end of February. This allows the plant to begin producing new branches after the last frost are expected. McGuire's does not cut these back hard as it can reduce the amount of blooms and make the new limbs weak. Instead, we trim the secondary limbs and crossing limbs to allow the previous limbs to harden and support the blooms. We want to even the plant's height but do not want to cut too large of wood.
The drift and knockout roses should be hard cut to a level the will produce the overall desired height during the growing season. This should be done after the expectation of freezes exists. Afterwards the roses should be dead-headed to remove expended buds.
