First thing in the morning really matters. As soon as you wake into consciousness perhaps even before your eyes are awake your brain wakes and this is where you need to make it count and start the day off well.
It's all too easy to let predominant thoughts enter your mind and these could well be on the negative side or indeed truly negative. If you are filled with worries and troublesome thoughts then these will just escalate and easily attract more negative thinking throughout your day.
Start the day off well.
These tips may well help you to start the day off well:
I'm awake!
As soon as you wake, announce to yourself 'I'm awake', you could shout this outloud or just in your mind. What you are doing here is stopping thoughts in their tracks by distracting yourself that you are awake.
Then you can be grateful for a restful and satisfying sleep. Even if this is not totally true, if you focus on a bad nights sleep that's what you will keep getting. Being mindful to be grateful for a good nights sleep will bring about more nights of better sleep.
Stuck on gratitude, then think about being grateful for a comfortable bed, for your home, your family, your work, your day ahead, your goals. Keep the gratitude and positivity going.
Thankful feet.
Foggy thinking can impede thoughts if you are stuck, then try saying thank you repeatedly as you get out of bed, put your feet on the floor and walk to the bathroom. Better thoughts can come.
Stick with it.
These 3 actions may appear unnatural to begin with. Keep at it, every morning and if you forget then start tomorrow. Keep it going and make it a habit and see how much better you feel by starting the day well.
If you have trouble sleeping, then read this blog post about natural ways to help with sleep.
Small changes soon mount up on your positivity journey. You get one life, live it and live it well!

GRIDS 2 and Municipal Comprehensive Review
We want to hear from you!
We want to hear your thoughts on the City's Urban Structure & Major Transit Station Areas.
Submit your comments online
The City of Hamilton is updating its Growth Management Strategy, known as GRIDS 2. The City will also be completing a Municipal Comprehensive Review concurrently with GRIDS 2.
What is GRIDS?
In 2006, City Council approved the first Growth Related Integrated Development Strategy (GRIDS) (PDF, 28 MB). GRIDS was an integrated planning process that identified a broad land use structure, associated infrastructure, economic development strategy and financial implications for growth options to serve Hamilton for 30 years. GRIDS planned for growth up to 2031.
GRIDS needs to be updated to plan for the next 10 years of growth, to 2041. This update will be known as GRIDS 2.
The Province of Ontario provides population and employment growth forecasts for Hamilton through the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
The growth forecasts for Hamilton between 2031 and 2041 are:
GRIDS 2 will plan for how and where this additional population and employment growth can be accommodated, and will determine the impact on the Infrastructure Master Plans (Water / Wastewater, Stormwater, Transportation).
What is the Municipal Comprehensive Review?
A municipal comprehensive review (MCR) is a requirement of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) at the time of an Official Plan review, and must be completed prior to any expansion of the urban boundary. The MCR is the process by which the City brings its Official Plans into conformity with updated Provincial plans.
Many of the studies that are required as part of the MCR are also required as part of GRIDS 2. Therefore, the City has determined that it is appropriate to combine GRIDS 2 and the MCR into one integrated process, resulting in a transparent and straightforward process in which to involve stakeholders and citizens.
One component of the MCR is the Employment Land Review which is currently underway.

Barnardsville Boulder and Walker Creek Boulders
The Barnardsville boulder
The Barnardsville boulder is pretty cool. For one thing, it's huge and the rock quality is pretty good. You've got to be climbing around V5 to get much out of this majorly overhanging rock, though. There is one really fun V2, but it's a high ball. Bring lots of pads for this place. Oh, and the approach is like 2 minutes. Sweet.
Walker Creek boulders / Sanctuary
This is a good place to warm up for the Barnardsville boulder or bring beginners. The left wall of the boulder has 3 V0s and a long, fairly easy traverse (maybe v0 to v2, depending on where you top out). There are also some small peripheral faces and boulders with easier routes. The overhanging side of the main boulder has some fun routes that range from V2-V4, with harder routes waiting to get sent. I think there are a couple of V8-ish routes in the middle of the face for someone with mad crimping skills. This boulder is recently developed, so bring some brushes and an eye for new lines. There are also a few scattered boulders up the trail (see the directions below).
A low-res video of a fun, easy overhanging problem at the Sanctuary:
Another short video of Chakra Khan at the Sanctuary, Walker Creek boulders.
Driving directions:
From Asheville, take 26 for about 12 miles towards Johnson City. Take exit 15 for Barndardsville / Jupiter / 197. Take a right off the ramp and go 6 miles until you are in a very small "downtown" area, and turn Right on Dillingham road. This road eventually has a few confusing semi-forks, but just stay on the main road; it's pretty obvious as long as you don't let the forks deceive you. The most obvious fork in the road is 3.8 miles after you turn onto Dillingham rd; just stay to the Right at the fork to stay on Dillingham. After another mile from the fork, the road turns to dirt and you're in the Big Ivy wilderness.
For the Barnardsville boulder, drive 2 miles up the dirt road and park in a pullout in a bend where the creek goes beneath the road. Hike up the 4WD road to the left of the pullout for about 100 yards. You can't miss the boulder.
For Walker Creek, take the first right turn that comes about a half mile after the road turns to dirt in the National Forest. Take this road down to where it dead-ends in a dirt parking lot for the Mountain Light Sanctuary and Walker Creek trailhead.
The main boulder here (I've been calling it the Sanctuary) is just above the parking lot. In fact, if you look up the hill and to the right from the lot, you can just see it through the trees, even in summer. The best way to access the Sanctuary boulder is to walk up the Walker Creek trail about 30 yards. I've put a small cairn on the left side of the trail. Cut into the woods here and follow the faint trail up and left back towards the boulder. It's a bit longer of a hike this way than cutting straight up the hill (2-3 minutes total maybe), but less steep (and so probably better for erosion).
There are some more mossy boulders as you continue to hike about 10 mins up the Walker's Creek trail. You can see pics of them in this old post. Go explore if you're feeling adventurous.

Nice. I was out at Douglas Falls recently and checked out the Snake Den (didn't know what it was until I read about it here). On the way out I saw a crew rolling up the gravel road with a few crashpads in the back of their truck. I'm glad to know how to find the boulders now, thanks to you.

ITG ports EduWave e-learning app to Linux
Integrated Technology Group (ITG) is porting its EduWave e-learning application and content management system to Linux in an attempt to give its customers more choice and tap into the open source operating system's growing popularity within the Middle East.
|~||~||~|Integrated Technology Group (ITG) is porting its EduWave e-learning application and content management system to Linux in an attempt to give its customers more choice and tap into the open source operating system's growing popularity within the Middle East.
"Linux is an operating system that is picking up traffic nowadays and it is only natural for us to consider it. Many of our clients and potential clients have been studying the possibility of adopting Linux as their prime operating system and from that point of view it was only natural for us to do so too," says Walid Tahabsem, chief executive officer of ITG.
"Another factor in moving to Linux is that it makes our offer better financially because the overall offering will be cheaper," he adds.
While the interest shown in Linux by the Middle East's private sector is strong and encouraged ITG to investigate the open source OS, it is the government sector's growing affiliation with the operating system that has turned the software house's development plans into action. For instance, the Bahraini government has recently announced that it is deploying Linux and the Jordanian government, which already uses EduWave as its core national e-learning platform, is also meant to be considering the open source operating system.
"It is critical that EduWave be made available on Linux," says Tahabsem. "Government education authorities in the Middle East and elsewhere are evaluating it and in many cases will be adopting open source platforms as they build national e-government and e-education initiatives," he explains.
Scheduled for availability early next year, the Linux-based version of the online learning solution and content management system is being developed with the help of IBM and STS subsidiary, BusinessOne. The former is providing ITG's development team with resources, training and facilities to develop, support and update EduWave on Linux, while BusinessOne is contributing its WebSphere middleware skills to the project.
"The porting process is underway and over the next couple of months we will really focus on it and we will have it [EduWave on Linux] ready by the beginning of next year," confirms Tahabsem. "IBM will provide the tools and the know how for our team. From a business perspective IBM and ITG will also go into joint marketing initiatives to target the education sector to promote EduWave," he explains.
Although some of the Jordanian development company's software engineers have been reluctant to embrace Linux, preferring instead the J2EE and .Net platforms ITG already uses, Tahabsem says this has been taken into account when building the team.
"Sometimes it is difficult to move a developer from one environment in which he is a master in and take him to another. On the other hand there are developers that like to move between environments and get more experience. However, what we have done is take care of the team leaders and use those that are 100% behind it [on the project]. Also, with the proper training they [the unconvinced developers] will understand the shift to Linux," he explains.
Moving forward, ITG hopes to have closed three large Linux-based EduWave deals by the end of next year. Then the company may turn its attention to its enterprise resource planning (ERP) application, WaveERP, and investigate the potential benefits of porting it to the open source operating system.
"When you want to port a product to another platform you need a complete plan that covers everything... However, while our focus is on EduWave for the time being, we will consider porting it [WaveERP] to Linux," says Tahabsem.||**||

Recently, a Facebook page entitled "UAA Confessions" appeared on the TNL Facebook wall asking us to "like" them. We did.
The page's purpose is to collect confessions from UAA students, put them through a vetting process and publish them anonymously on the page.
And, oh, what information has been revealed.
The page has published posts spilling people's guts about plagiarism, suicide, cheating on lovers and sex on campus.
Students allegedly submit all the posts.
Maybe whoever created this page wants to create a sense of community between people on campus. Maybe this person wants to channel the famous "PostSecret" idea, where strangers submit confessions on a post card for publication. And maybe this page has nothing to do with UAA students at all.
But, either way, TNL firmly stands by this advice: DO NOT PUT YOUR CONFESSIONS ON THIS FACEBOOK PAGE!
Nobody knows who is gatekeeping the secrets. And are you really willing to put your most confidential information in the hands of a stranger?
People have been fired, divorced, kicked out of school and publicly humiliated when social media information has been leaked to the masses.
Those people could be you.
Because whoever runs this page owes you nothing and might just have the foulest of intentions.
But there's no doubt students might need a place for impartial solidarity with someone.
UAA already offers services for that. The Student Health and Counseling Center offers up to six free sessions a semester for students, and the service is 100 percent free for students taking six more credit hours. Appointments can be made on a walk-in basis or via telephone by calling (907) 786-4040. Counselors, unlike anonymous Facebook page administrators, have ethical and legal guidelines binding them to your secrecy.

ENNI Energypark: Picnic in the "Solarpark"
The cities of Moers and Neukirchen-Vluyn have an ambitious goal: By 2035, 40 per cent of their electricity should come from domestic renewable sources of energy. An important milestone has already been reached: A solar park was created on a former extraction site. In addition to clean electricity, the complex also provides explanations and recreational value for day trippers.
The Solarpark meanders harmoniously around the dredging pool. Particular value was placed on this. The former gravel-processing site has been re-cultivated for many years. The 14,000 photovoltaic modules were not to disturb the existing flora and fauna.
"From the very beginning, we have involved the environment associations in the project", says Hermann Hornung, press officer for ENNI Energie & Umwelt GmbH. The regional energy and water provider restricted encroachments on the landscape to the bare essentials when building the 3.5 megawatt Solarpark. Because of this, it was possible for the endangered natterjack toad to be collected and resettled on time, for example.
Energy Path offers recreational value and explanations
People should also feel comfortable here. ENNI has, therefore, created an Energy Path with a viewing pavilion along the solar park. The path with explanations makes interested citizens more familiar with renewable energies and the subject of electromobility. A picnic area also makes the site attractive to day-trippers. Cyclists pass through the newly created recreational area via the "Lower Rhine Route" and the " Route of Sustainability in NRW".
"The Solarpark has become a destination for excursions and education", explains Hornung. "Not only are we saving nearly 2000 tonnes of CO2 per year, we are also making citizens more aware of the subjects of the transformation of the energy system and climate protection".

"Solarpark Neukirchen-Vluyn is one of the extremely large regenerative flagship projects on the Lower Rhine. Not only are we saving nearly 2000 tonnes of CO2 per year in the production of electricity, we also make the transformation of the energy system a tangible experience for people."

Two of UKSA's Superyacht Cadets took part in the Lord Mayor's Show in London on Saturday.
Tory Armstrong, 22, of Armagh, and 18-year-old Dan Snook, from the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, are both funded by Trinity House and were invited to accompany the Trinity House float. The show has been staged for 799 years and is one of the oldest, grandest and best-loved civic pageants in the world.
Tory has always been a keen traveller having worked in many parts of the world. Growing up with her parents who had a boat, she now wants to make the maritime industry her place of work.
She said: "All my friends have gone to university and now they each have a huge debt, I've never regretted not going! I only heard about this Cadetship at the start of this year and as I've always loved sailing and am passionate about it, I think I have really found what I was looking for. I would not have been able to do it without the funding from Trinity House, which is worth approximately £13,000 and covers my foundation degree. I am going to spend three to four years working towards my Officer of the Watch and get the experience in the industry."
Dan explained, "It was a big honour for me and it was nice that UKSA and Trinity House were included. My Trinity House funding has been a big help as my parents would never have been able to pay for my course, so it's taken a lot of strain off their shoulders and they are really happy. Getting selected for the Cadetship was a really proud moment."
Dan has always been interested in the marine industry, following in his father's footsteps: Dan's dad used to be in the Merchant Navy. Dan started Sea Cadets at the age of 12. He was clearly perfect for being out at sea as he showed huge promise early on. He put his name down for UKSA's Superyacht Cadetship when he was just 15. Now 18, the time is right for him to start, having done his GCSEs and A Levels.
Emma Baggett, Industry and Cadetship Manager at UKSA, commented: "We were so proud that Tory and Dan were able to take part in this amazing showcase, it really is a tribute to their enthusiasm for the industry and their hard work and determination to excel on the course. It also highlights the value that Trinity House places on cadets and on the training they receive from UKSA."
The four year Superyacht cadetship course combines professional training at UKSA and paid work placements in the superyacht industry and provides a structured path through the RYA and MCA qualifications. It ultimately opens up opportunities to work in the industry in an unrestricted worldwide basis as Captain of yachts up to 200gt, Chief Mate up to 500gt and Officer of the Watch of the very largest superyachts up to 3000gt.
Trinity House offers financial support to the future leaders of large commercial yachting through the Professional Yachtsman Bursary Scheme (PYBS). It distributes funds to support high quality training to those who would otherwise not be able to access it. Trinity House supports selected cadetship places at UKSA each year, providing significant funding towards the first phase of the cadetship for successful candidates.

A legislative report says New Mexico's revenues are doing better than expected so far.
Staff of the Legislative Finance Committee reports that revenues through April are up 8 percent from the same period in 2010, and tracking about $87 million more than what was forecast.
The state expected to collect more than $5 billion in its main budget account for the fiscal year that ended on June 30.
Committee Chairman Rep. Luciano "Lucky" Varela says he hopes the revenues will end up from $70 million to $100 million above projections. He says final figures probably won't be available for a couple of months.
Extra revenues would strengthen the state's finances. New Mexico has been drawing on its cash reserves to help cover some emergency costs from wildfires.

Bill Ackman better have some patience.
The embattled hedge fund activist, the largest shareholder in Valeant Pharmaceuticals, got another dose of bad news on Tuesday as the troubled pharma giant reported an unexpectedly large net loss and wrote down the value of its Salix unit.
If that wasn't enough to spook investors, the Canadian pharmaceutical company also cut its outlook for the rest of the year — sending its shares to a six-year low of $13.77.
The shares gained back a bit of their loss during the trading day to close down 22 percent, at $14.98.
Valeant reported on Tuesday that third-quarter revenue fell 11 percent, to $2.48 billion, missing Wall Street expectations.
Adjusted earnings came in at $1.55 a share, 21 cents lower than forecast.
More telling, however, was that Valeant swung to a $1.22 billion net loss from a profit of $48.5 million a year ago.
Much of the loss was attributed to Valeant recording a $1 billion impairment charge on its Salix gastrointestinal business.
Although Valeant unveiled a new management team over the last few months, the company has a long way to go before becoming the "new Valeant" that recently installed Chief Executive Joe Papa promised.
"We face a number of challenges for sure, but I believe that this team from Joe on down is the right team to navigate these challenges and build value over time," new Chief Financial Officer Paul Herendeen said on an analyst call. "As I love to say, value creation is not linear, so we will face setbacks and we will overcome them." Herendeen warned that 2017 may also be a "down year."
Adding to the company's woes — and to Ackman's agita — Moody's downgraded Valeant's $30 billion debt load deeper into junk territory.
The likelihood of tackling that debt load soon appears slim, as management hopes to see it decrease by only $5 billion by 2018.
Potential asset sales, including a $10 billion sale of Salix, have been reported but not yet confirmed by Valeant. The Salix write-off on Tuesday can't help those efforts.
The company has been embroiled in a mix of scandals over the last year, including price-gouging allegations tied to its former specialty pharmacy, Philidor, faulty corporate accounting and possibly illegal trades made by former CEO Michael Pearson.
Valeant's stock is off 85 percent in 2016 and 94 percent from a July 2015 high of $257.53.
The decline has been most acutely felt by Ackman, whose Pershing Square has a 6.3 percent stake in the company.
Ackman has said that the holding has weighed heavily on his fund, which is down 22.5 percent through Oct. 31.
Despite changes to management, Valeant admitted that it has been difficult to shake its negative image.
Also not helping, FDA approval of one of Valeant's psoriasis drugs has been delayed by three months and one of its Tampa facilities is being inspected by the FDA.
"We take fire from the press and from folks in the investment community just about every day, focus[ing] on the company's past," Herendeen said. "We can't change the things that are in the past. We can only deal with them and change our future."

BLESS THEIR LITTLE HEARTS official trailer from Milestone Film & Video on Vimeo.Director Billy Woodberry teamed with friend and fellow UCLA filmmaker Charles Burnett to create BLESS THEIR LITTLE HEARTS, one of seminal masterpieces from the "L.A. Rebellion" movement. Milestone is honored to be able to present the UCLA Film and Television Archive's glowing restoration of this haunting and powerful film.
Charlie Banks is looking for work… searching for it every day. But there are no jobs and unemployment is taking a toll on him and his family. His wife, Andais is worn out working and taking of their young children. So Charlie takes day jobs whenever he can, cutting weeds and painting houses. At night, he falls asleep in the bathtub.
When Charlie reconnects with a lady friend, Andais notices that he is not bringing home all the money from his day labor. Confronting him, she tells her husband she has been working like a dog while everyone has been laughing at her. "I can't make people give me a job," he screams back at her, "I try everyday." "Don't try, do it, do it!" Andais wails, "I'm tired, tired, tired. Start trying to be a man."
Later, seeing his daughter's arm in a cast, Charlie weeps, telling her he is sorry he isn't "able to let you live in a better neighborhood." As he sobs, Andais tries to comfort him.
Charlie and his friends go fishing and try hawking their catch on the side of the road. While his pals wave down motorists, Charlie just walks away.

Down With 3 Count Part 12: Down With ME!
by Kristi (firstname.lastname@example.com)
and Frederick "Dice" Casden (email@example.com)
At a hotel in Atlanta, Georgia the hot members of 3 Count, Evan Karagias,
'Sugar' Shane Helms and Shannon Moore are hanging out in the lounge and
having a few drinks. Evan, dressed in tight fitting tan colored pants and
a white button shirt, licks his lips, "Hey guys... you realize we've gotten
down with just about every hot babe in WCW..."
Shane, dressed in jeans and a WCW T-shirt, nods his head as he takes a sip
of his drink, "Yeah.... We've done Miss Hancock... Midajah... Miss Jones...."
Shannon leans back in his chair, and he's dressed in jeans and a red
sweatshirt, "Daffney... Pamela... practically every Nitro Girl..."
Evan laughs a bit, "Torrie... Leia... and Liz.... Yeah that's just about
Shannon takes a sip of his drink, "Shit... who's left for us to get down
"No one that I can think of... maybe we should take our act up north to the
WWF?" Shane Helms replies as he, Shannon and Evan don't notice the extremely
egotistical Diamond Doll of WCW, Kimberly Page, power-walking towards them
after entering the lounge.
The bitchy, ego-driven, and very close associate of Eric Bischoff, Kimberly
Page, approaches the table with her eyes narrowed into a deadly glare.
Kimberly marches up to the table and suddenly slams her hands onto the table,
getting the instant attention of Shane Helms, Evan Karagias, and Shannon
Moore "What the hell is this about!?" Kimberly Page shouts before she folds
her arms against her large chest, while dressed in a pair of black pants and
a black tank top.
Evan, Shane and Shannon all look at Kimberly as if she's insane, "What's all
what is about?" Evan asks as he puts down his drink.
Kimberly smirks before she slowly shakes her head "Oh don't act like you have
no clue what I'm talking about!" Kimberly says as she glares at Evan Karagias
"I've heard about your little tour of the WCW Divas...and how dare you forget
about ME! Kimberly Page! The star of WCW!"
"Geez... what a..." Shannon says under his breath before Shane kicks him
under the table to keep him quiet.
Shane looks at Kimberly and smiles, "Ever heard about saving the best for
last?" Shane says.
Kimberly Page smirks a bit "Really? The best for last?" Kimberly presses her
lips together and proudly tosses her smooth, silky dark brown hair back "That
sounds about right...and I better receive the 3 Count..." Kimberly pauses and
glares at the three WCW Stars "Or I'll go to Eric Bischoff...and I'll make
sure he fires all three of you!"
Evan looks at Shane and Shannon, "Well guys... with an invitation like
that... how can we refuse...."
* * *
Ten minutes later inside of Kimberly Page's private luxury suite, all three
members of 3 Count are naked and Shane Helms is between Kimberly's smooth
tanned legs, eating her hot shaved pussy. "Mmmmm... mmmm!" Shane moans as he
laps his tongue against her pussy lips.
Shannon Moore licks his lips as he strokes his thirteen inch cock, "Fuck
she's hot..." Shannon says.
Evan Karagias smirks as he lightly pumps his eleven inch dick, "Yeah she
"Mmmm...ohhh fuck..." Kimberly Page moans as she bites down on her bottom lip
as she lifts her hands and lightly rubs her large and perfectly rounded tits
with her hands while she gently grinds her pussy against the tongue of Shane
Helms. "Ohhhh fuck...ohhh yeah!" Kimberly moans before she glances over at
Shannon Moore with a wicked smirk "Get the fuck over here!" Kimberly snaps.
Shannon Moore licks his lips, "All right..." Shannon says as he walks over
to the bed and kneels on it. Shane puts one hand on Kimberly's waist as he
slides his tongue against her pussy and he uses his free hand to stroke his
twelve inch cock to keep it rock hard.
"Ohhh yeah! About time someone shows ME some damn respect!" Kimberly moans
before she wraps her left hand around Shannon Moore's cock and roughly pulls
his thirteen inch cock up to her lips before she opens her mouth and takes
his cock into her hot and bitchy mouth. Kimberly starts to immediately bob
her head along Shannon's thirteen inch cock as she grinds her wet, warm pussy
against Shane's face while he darts his tongue in and out of her hot pussy.
"Ahhhhh... ohhhh fuck..." Shannon Moore moans as he watches Kimberly Page bob
her head on his long, hard and very thick cock.
Evan Karagias smirks as he moves to tap Shane Helms on the shoulder, "Hey if
you're done eating... I want to fuck her..." Evan smirks.
Shane lifts his head up from Kimberly's wet pussy, "Never bother me when I'm
eating..." Shane laughs as he moves from between Kimberly's legs so that Evan
can take his place. Evan Karagias then firmly pushes his cock into the
egotistical Diamond Doll's tight pussy as she sucks Shannon's dick.
"Mmmmmmm!" Kimberly Page moans roughly around Shannon Moore's cock as Evan
Karagias forces his entire cock into her warm, wet pussy. Kimberly locks her
seductive, sly eyes with Shannon as she quickly moves her head along his
shaft, slobbering her saliva all over his shaft. "Mmmmmmm! Uhhhh mmmm!"
Kimberly moans as she starts to smoothly guide her body against Evan's cock
as he fucks her wickedly warm pussy.
"Ahhhh shit... mmmm fuck yeah..." Shannon moans licks his lips as Kimberly
Page takes his thirteen inch cock deeper into her bitchy, wet mouth.
Evan grabs hold of Kimberly's hips as he speeds up his thrusts as he slams
his cock in and out of her pussy, "Ahhhh ohhh yeah... fuck..." Evan moans as
he watches Kimberly suck Shannon's cock as he fucks her.
"Mmmmm! Mmmmm!" Kimberly's moans vibrate against Shannon Moore's shaft as her
head quickly bobs on Shannon's cock with her head bouncing on Shannon's cock
every time that Evan slams his cock deeply into her warm and wet pussy.
Kimberly spreads her smooth, gorgeously tanned legs widely apart while Evan
fucks her.
Evan licks his teeth as he deeply rams his cock into Kimberly's pussy,
"Ohhh yeah ohh shit she's a tight one..." Evan moans as his balls slap right
against her smooth skin.
Shannon tilts his head back as Kimberly twists her head on his thirteen inch
cock, "Awww.... ohhh fuck!" Shannon moans as Shane Helms kneels on the bed on
the opposite side of Kimberly.
"Hey Kimberly... how about switching over..." Shane says with smirk as he
strokes his twelve inch dick.
Kimberly slowly lifts her head off of Shannon's cock as her wet saliva drips
down his thirteen inch shaft. Kimberly Page turns her head to look at Shane
Helms with a sexy, bitchy glare "No one tells ME what to do!" Kimberly says,
snapping at Helms, before she greedily takes his twelve inch cock and slams
his shaft into her wet and desirable mouth. Kimberly keeps her glared eyes
locked with Shane as she bobs her head along his shaft while roughly grinding
her wet pussy against Evan's thrusting shaft.
"Mmmmm fuck... but you do it anyway...." Shane Helms smirks as Kimberly bobs
her head on his twelve inch cock.
Shannon licks his lips as he sits on the bed as he watches Evan drive his
eleven inch cock sharply into Kimberly's tight pussy. "Awwww fuck... ohhh
shit..." Evan moans as he slams his entire cock into Kimberly's tight cunt.
"Mmmmmmm! Fuck!" Kimberly moans around Shane's cock as she presses her teeth
against his shaft and lightly rakes her teeth on his cock while she bobs her
head after receiving the firm thrust from Evan Karagias. "Mmmm...ohhh
yeah..." Kimberly moans as she slaps her tongue against the shaft of Shane
Evan Karagias licks his lips as he keeps ramming his shaft in and out of
Kimberly's pussy before he pulls out, "Hey Shannon... you want a piece of
this?" Evan says.
"Sure..." Shannon nods his head as he lays on his side and turns Kimberly
onto her side so that she's facing Shane as she sucks his dick. Shannon lifts
one of her legs up and then sharply rams his thirteen inch cock into her
tight, wet and warm cunt.
"Mmmmmm!" Kimberly lustfully groans as she deeply swallows Shane's twelve
inch cock, feeling the thirteen inch shaft of Shannon Moore entering her
pussy from behind. Kimberly's lips roughly rub back and forth against
Shane's cock as she eagerly and whorishly sucks his cock. Sweat deeps off
of Kimberly's body as she firmly pushes back on Shannon's cock.
"Ahhhh... ohhhh fuck... awww damn!" Shane Helms moans as he puts a hand on
Kimberly's head as she easily deep throats his twelve inch cock as she
eagerly sucks his dick.
Shannon Moore puts a hand on Kimberly's hip as he quickens the pace of his
thrusts as he fucks the Diamond Doll of WCW, "Mmmmm shit.... fuck...."
Shannon moans as he eagerly drills Kimberly's tight pussy.
Kimberly Page lifts her head off of Shane Helms's cock as her wet saliva
drips off of his cock. "Ohhhhhh fuck!" Kimberly shouts as she grabs the bed
sheets tightly while her body roughly grinds against the muscular and tanned
body of Shannon, while fucking her pussy.
"Ahhh shit... mmmm fuckin' hell..." Shannon Moore grunts as he pounds
Kimberly's tight pussy with his huge cock before he pulls out. Shane lays
down on the bed and pulls the bitchy WCW Diva onto his saliva covered twelve
inch dick.
Kimberly Page tosses her dark brown hair back as she straddles Shane's waist
and begins to instantly rock back and forth on his rock hard shaft. "Mmmmm...
fuck...ohhhhh fuck!" Kimberly moans as she grits her teeth while swiftly
bouncing on his shaft.
Shane Helms licks his lips as Kimberly grinds herself on his twelve inch
cock, "Ahhhh ohhh fuck yeah..." Shane moans as he begins to thrust his cock
up into her pussy.
Evan licks his lips as he positions himself behind Kimberly, "Time to go
down..." Evan smirks as he roughly shoves his eleven inch cock into
Kimberly's tight asshole with one thrust.
"Ohhhh mother fucker!" Kimberly moans as she tilts her head back "Mmmm...fuck
yeah! Fill ME up with that cock!" Kimberly moans as she rocks back against
the cock of Evan Karagias while impressively and quickly grinding on Shane's
cock. Kimberly's smooth hands gently mouth against Shane's toned chest as she
continues to rock between then two 3 Count members.
"Mmmmm ohhh yeah!" Evan grunts as he grabs Kimberly's waist to pull her back
towards him as he rams his cock deep into her ass.
Shane grabs hold of Kimberly's tits as he thrusts his foot long dick upward
into her tight pussy as she rides him, "Awww... fuck... mmmm shit!" Shane
Shannon Moore moves so that he's in front of Kimberly, "Fill you up? Okay..."
Shannon says as he slips his meaty thirteen inch cock into Kimberly's bitchy
"Mmmmmmm!" Kimberly moans loudly as Shannon Moore's thirteen inch cock rams
into her hot and bitchy mouth. Kimberly Page closes her eyes as she quickly
moves her head at an eager pace to suck Shannon's cock. Kimberly's hot pussy
slams down on Shane's cock before roughly pushing back against Evan Karagias
as he pounds her perfectly shaped ass.
"Mmmmm.... ohhh yeah!" Shane Helms moans as he slams his cock upward into
Kimberly's pussy.
Evan grits his teeth together, "Ohhh fuck... stuff her good guys..." Evan
groans as he rams his cock balls deep into Kimberly's ass.
Shannon puts both of his hands on Kimberly's head, "That's... no problem..."
Shannon moans as he begins to move his hips back and forth, thrusting his
cock in and out of Kimberly's mouth.
"Mmmmm! Mmmmmm!" Kimberly Page moans as her lips grind against Shannon's
thirteen inch cock while her wet saliva coats his entire shaft. Kimberly
closes her eyes as she deeply takes Shannon into her mouth. The perfectly
shaped ass of Kimberly Page grinds back against Evan's muscular waist as
he deeply pounds her ass, while his thrusts cause her to rock sharply on
Shane's cock.
"Mmmmm ahhh fuck.... ohhh shit!" Evan moans as he begins to cum, shooting his
warm thick load deep into Kimberly Page's tight asshole.
Shane squeezes Kimberly's tits as she rocks sharply on his cock, "Ahhh ohh
yeah... mmm fuck!" Shane groans.
Kimberly lifts her head off of Shannon Moore's cock and smirks as she looks
back over her shoulder, seeing the cum from Evan dripping out her ass "Ohhh
Evan pulls out of Kimberly's asshole and licks his lips, "What a fucking
great ass..." Evan says.
Shane licks his teeth as he keeps pumping his cock into Kimberly's pussy
until he starts to shoot his load inside of her pussy, "Awwww.... ohhhhhh
yes.... mmmm!" Shane moans as he flood Kimberly's pussy with his cum.
Kimberly presses her lips together as she continues to bounce on Shane's
throbbing cock as he warm cum sprays into her wet pussy. Kimberly grits her
teeth as she looks at Shannon Moore "Cum on my fucking tits!"
"Shit... I love giving personal requests..." Shannon says as he strokes his
thirteen inch cock as Kimberly sits totally up on Shane's cum spent cock to
make her tits an easy target.
Kimberly raises an eyebrow and smirks as she leans back slightly and gently
grinds her wet pussy against the throbbing, softening cock of Shane Helms
"Yeah fucking cum on them! Show ME the goods!"
"Mmmmm.... ahhhh fuck...." Shannon Moore groans as begins cumming, shooting
a huge load of his thick cum right on to Kimberly's firm round tits.
Kimberly Page narrows her eyes lustfully as she watches the warm cum spraying
out of his cock and onto her large and perfectly shaped tits "Ohhhh fuck...
you love fucking ME don't you boys!?"
"Good thing we saved you for fucking last...." Evan Karagias says with a
Shane Helms licks his lips, "Yeah... you're as beautiful as a diamond..."
Shane says as Shannon shoots a bit more cum onto Kimberly's tits.
Kimberly tosses her slightly sweat dampened dark brown hair back as she lifts
herself off of Shane Helms and sits down on the hotel room bed "Good...now
get the fuck out!
* * *
Out in the hallway, 3 Count waits for an elevator after getting dressed and
leaving Kimberly's hotel suite, "Geez she's a real fucking bitch..." Shannon
Moore says as he shakes his head.
"Yeah... but good thing we didn't really save her last..." Evan says.
"What do you mean? We nailed every girl in WCW..." Shane says.
Evan smirks, "Not every girl... there's still a so-called Canadian who's a
Major hottie..."

Uranus in Cancer
A Rebellious Generation
This is a generational influence that affects everyone born within a seven-year period near the time of your birth. All by itself, this is probably not the most important feature of your chart, but it describes some general conditions that were activated near the time of your birth, and to a certain extent, you and those of your generation carry that energy forward with you as you mature and develop. Uranus in Cancer indicates a generation that will be quite rebellious toward their parents and will not easily accept the prevailing social and societal conditions.
You probably shocked your parents on more than once occasion. You and your peers work hard for your own personal freedoms as well as the liberation of all people. Independence is a platform for the Uranus-in-Cancer generation. You will find ways to catapult old traditions and values into the future.

Chasing Dreams: Becoming a Life Coach {An Interview with Dr. Danielle Dowling}/
This interview is part of the Chasing Dreams interview series. I've interviewed a variety of entrepreneurs and small business owners who have chosen a different path in life in order to go after his or her dream career. Have an entrepreneur in mind you'd like to learn more about? Let me know! Today's interview is with Dr. Danielle Dowling, my mentor and an all-around inspiration. She motivates and inspires women all over the world in matters of life, love + business. Read on to learn about her journey to where she is today and the struggles she's faced becoming a life coach. She also shares invaluable tips for anyone dreaming of following the same path (or any entrepreneurial path).
At what point did you know you wanted to follow this career path? How did you know this was the right direction?
When I turned 30 I began considering legacy and contribution. When I was 80 years old I wanted to be able to look back on my life and feel like I made a significant difference, for the good, in peoples lives. I deeply desire for others to feel good in their skin; empowered and hopeful.
And when I can help another feel this way I experience true aliveness.
What are the biggest struggles you've faced while trying to achieve your dreams?
Not getting caught up in comparison has been THE biggest struggle. There are a plethora of talented, bright women out there doing exactly what I do and it can be not only daunting by intimidating if I let it. I really call on my spiritual practice to keep my head clear and my heart open when it comes to competition and comparison. I try to celebrate everyone's success and trust that if it exists for them then it exists for me as well. There is enough business and innovation to go around!
Owning your own business can be tough on the body and mind, between long days, instability and really putting yourself out there to reach your goals. How do you stay healthy? Do you have any rituals that help you stay centered?
I have a "feel good formula," that I try to live by more often than not. The formula consists a few things that I have discovered if I do on a regular basis allows me to stay mostly well centered, calm and joyful. It includes: 15 minutes of silence in the morning to sit at my window with a cup of coffee and breathe into the day; a green juice or cold pressed juice 4x a week, a 1 hour workout comprised of cardio and weights 4x a week, restorative yoga on Sundays and most nights in bed with lights off by 10 pm. And of course tons of hugs from my honey! ;-)
Speaking of putting yourself out there, overcoming rejection is a big part of chasing dreams. How do you bounce back?
I have a huge faith that Universe is always working on my (and all of our) behalfs and so fundamentally I believe that everything that happens in my life happens for my benefit. If I don't get the client, the article feature, the call back, the acknowledgement etc….even though I might be disappointed I assume that for whatever reason it is simply not the right timing or match. I am usually "shown" later on why it was not and are grateful things have worked out they way they have.
Rejection can be a good thing. It clears your plate for all sorts of groovy, better fitting opportunities to show up.
Whenever I get rejected I say, "Ok, well...good. Now there is more room for the right thing to show up."
What do you do when you're having an off day- maybe feeling down, struggling with self-doubt, or just unmotivated?
I begin by just noticing that I am "off" and that it's OK. Sometimes we have "off" and unmotivated days….such is life. I don't think we need, nor is it healthy, to force ourselves to be 'on top of the world' so-to-speak at all times. Not every day will be charged with high energy confidence and productivity nor should it be.
If I am feeling down I will first consult my "feel good formula" list for help. For me a 30 minute workout can often times make all the difference in my mood….I will head into a workout feeling sluggish, unmotivated or just blue and as I gently ease my way into a jog I can begin to feel my mood lift a bit. Even if I don't feel 100% better, I go to bed that night knowing that I was kind to myself by engaging in a healthy activity.
What is one misconception people have about you and/or your profession?
That it's been easy, and I just arrived here overnight.
What is one of the biggest lessons you've learned along the way?
Small daily actions add up to huge accomplishments. Success rests on your daily routine.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to become a life coach?
I highly recommend keeping a full time day job or a solid part time job while building your business. I kept a full time job up until one year ago. I earned both my masters and my doctorate by attending graduate school at night and working during the day. In my free moments and during lunch hours I would work on my blog and social media presence. It was truly my day job that provided the seed money for my growing business and the money to pay my grad school bills! It was not easy but I am thanking myself over and over again when I look at my bank account for keeping the job as long as I did. I could easily be $100K in debt, and I am not.
Pay attention to your intuition. When you start to get a lot of competing advice ask yourself: 'What is true for me?"
Never underestimate the importance of social media and diversification with social media. You don't want to have your entire audience belong to one platform. It doesn't matter if you have 250K fans on Twitter they don't really belong to you. They belong to Twitter and if twitter changes their engagement platform and you can't reach that audience with out paying for it (kind of like Facebook...) then you're screwed. The only audience you own is your email sign up list---have one.
When do you feel the most inspired, alive and the most like YOU?
When I am out in nature, doing yoga or coaching.
What people, books, music, etc. inspire you?
Marianne Williamson, Caroline Myss, Brene Brown, A Course in Miracles, The New Earth, Jazz, pop music, classical music, meditation music. I love to color! I know that sounds so crazy, but I love to grab a box of crayons and a coloring book and just zone out. Oh, and 1000x over my clients! They are amazing, brave, inspiring souls and I learn just as much from them as they hopefully do from me. They seriously bring tears to my eyes.
Describe your favorite moment or accomplishment in your career so far.
The day my first client hired me and the fact that I tripled my revenue last year.
What's the most exciting thing going on in your life right now?
I am launching a 1 Day Intensive for my coaching clients, a book called Soul Sessions this fall and a group class early spring 2015.
Oh! And how can I forget----I'm getting married on November 7th of this year. Yay!

In Matthew 22 Jesus speaks to the disciples in a parable that we regard as "the parable of the wedding feast." He starts of by telling them that "the kingdom of heaven could be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.." (verse 2). He proceeds to tell them that the king sent out his servants to invite people, but the people would not come. He sent more servants to invite them to the wedding, but the people paid no attention to them, treated them shamefully and even killed them. He sends out new servants with new instructions, "Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find." These servants gathered good and bad (a foreshadow that Gentiles would later have the gospel message offered to them, but more on that in a different post) people, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. But the king comes in and sees a man without the wedding garment and asks him, "Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?" (verse 12). The man was speechless, and at once the king had him bound and cast into outer darkness.
If your like me, you may read this and think, "What in the world? The man didn't have on the right clothing…so he was cast out? What about meeting people where they are and welcoming them into our churches no matter what?" These are the things that I thought before the Spirit revealed to me the much deeper meaning of the passage. Here's the deeper meaning:
The wedding feast represents heaven, and the King represents God. The servants that go out and invite people (the Jews) represent God's prophets in the Old Testament, that proclaimed repentance and prophesied about Jesus, but were treated badly and put to death. The good and the bad people represents everyone else (because the Jews refused to respond). All of this so far may or may not be obvious, but what on earth does the poor man without the wedding garment have to do with anything? Well, he is truly a poor man, and I'll tell you why:
The wedding garment represents Christ's righteousness that is laid over us. This is the way that Jesus taught that our self-righteousness would never be enough! From the very beginning of creation, God has provided a "covering" for our sin. To insist on covering ourselves is to be clothed in "filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6). Adam and Eve tried to cover their shame, but they found their fig leaves to be woefully scant. God took away their handmade clothes and replaced them with skins of animals (Genesis 3:7, 21). In the book of Revelation, we see those in heaven wearing "white robes" (Revelation 7:9), and we learn that the whiteness of the robes is due to their being washed in the blood of the Lamb (verse 14). We trust in God's righteousness, not our own (Philippians 3:9)! The man who did not wear the wedding garment is an example of one who trusts in his own righteousness and merit to get into heaven! It simply cannot be done, if we try to do so, we will be cast into outer darkness.
The king provided wedding garments for his guests, and God has provided salvation for mankind through Christ! My friends, our wedding garment is the righteousness of Christ, and there is no wedding feast for us if we do not have it! When the religions of the world are stripped down to their basic tenets, we either find man working his way toward God, or we find the cross of Christ. Jesus crucified, buried and resurrected is the only way to God, for He himself says, "No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
God has invited us to a wedding feast, and an eternity with him. Our invitation comes with a garment that we must receive and put on to enter: Christ's righteousness. We do this by trusting in His life and finished work on the cross to cover our sins, without any bit of trust in our own merit or good works. If we trust in ourselves, our own righteousness, and our good works to gain us entrance to the feast, we wil be cast in to utter darkness: eternity in hell. However, the kingdom of heaven is opened to those who will set aside their own righteousness and by faith accept Christ's righteousness.
My friends, there is a heavenly wedding feast awaiting, and your invited. The question is, do you have the attire?

November 2015 Was Good [PHOTO]
No Shave November was fun! I don't know if I helped raise awareness for any men's health issues, but it was certainly a lazy attempt. Now what? Shave the whole thing, rock an old school stache and chops, trim it and buy a monocle? I'm welcoming all options.
Some things I learned this November:
- I have a lot more grey than I realized
- Grey beards add years
- I envisioned looking like Clint Eastwood in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", instead I look like more like Tom Hanks in Cast Away
- Silly lists make great hashtags
