Damp weather doesn't stop Boxing Hall of Fame weekend festivities
CANASTOTA >> Damp conditions and a chill in the air that made it feel more like April than June didn't stop the flock of boxing fans to the International Hall of Fame for a handful of activities in day two of the annual Hall of Fame weekend.
At the early afternoon celebrity workout in the museum ring, Julius Jackson entertained the crowd with jabs. Jackson, the son of famed boxer Julian Jackson and brother John Jackson, hails from the Virgin Islands.
Signing autographs and smiling to fans, Jackson said participating in Hall of Fame weekend was almost like a dream come true. Something he had waited for all of his life.
"I've seen so much of this place on Youtube, in videos...on ESPN Classic...it's almost unreal," said Jackson. "It's just such a historic place and being here you can really feel the sense of history.
"I thank the Hall of Fame for inviting me and suggesting I come here and do this."
At around 3 p.m. fans got a break from dodging raindrops while watching all 2013 inductees and other celebrity boxers receive their fist casts - one of a kind, only copies that are on display in the hall of fame.
Jimmy Lennon Jr., iconic ring announcer, including infamous bouts between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, held a dowel when dipping his hand into the cast mixture. A microphone will be placed in the final hand sculpture.
John Hunt, who has overseen the fist casting joked that after hearing of Lennon Jr.'s microphone plan, fellow 2013 inductee Colin Hart wanted to include a pen in his mold.
"Soon everyone is going to have different type of cast," said Hunt, who explained to the crowd how the casts originally came about, beginning when a New York doctor began making molds of all of the fists of the boxers he made mouth guards for in the '40s and '50s. When he heard about the International Hall of Fame, the doctor donated all the fists he had collected over time.
Retired boxer Mike Weaver required a larger container for his extra-large fist.
"The most common question we get asked is if anyone's fist has every gotten stuck because it was too big," said Hunt. "It's never actually happened, but we've come close.
"Don't worry Mike we'll get your fist out."
Fans managed to get up close for autographs and pictures of their favorite boxers. Others were just taking it all in.
"I've been a fan (of boxing) on and off my whole life," said Bob Higgins from Binghamton who was encouraged by his niece to check out the hall of fame weekend for the first time this year. "It's all pretty neat to see in person that's for certain."
Dan Morris made the trip in from just outside Hershey, Pa., for his first time experience along with veterans of the hall of fame weekend June Meyers and Sam Eschleman, who have been making the annual pilgrimage to Canastota for the past 15 years.
"You can't beat any of this," said Eschelman. "Right now the only thing better I could ask for is a break from all this rain."
Indoor relief was in store for those fans at the Rusty Rail late Friday evening for "A Night of Welterweight Warriors" where food laughter and reminiscing on past boxers were a part of the evening festivities.

This came up in the comments of a thread that Brent Breaux started earlier. We started discussing the manner in which story is going to be told in SWTOR.
Storytelling is usually a way to communicate what happened in one place to someone who was in a different place. The storyteller is the mediator of this narrative. In a game, this changes a little bit. Instead, the listener pretends to be a participator in the story and they craft that story themselves through the choices they make in the game.
This works particularly well in RPGs. A single player is able to see a character (sometimes many) and a world shift before his eyes as he makes changes that are meaningful. Some of the most powerful stories told in games earn much of that power through the agency they give to their players.
Story in an MMO has up to this point been quite different. As an MMO player, one enters a world that is much like our own. There are many stories happening, many characters and players, and many places to explore. Each place may have its own story and sometimes we happen upon stories we didn't expect. In most cases, these are told through quest text, a somewhat tedious element of the game which many players skip. More

Here's one in the eye to people who don't think games are educational. Don't Shit Your Pants. It's a going for a poo challenge, in a text parser adventure, that describes itself as a "survival horror". You'll likely quickly realise that finishing the game is not the greatest of challenges. However, what it's really all about is figuring out all the achievements. Yes indeed, you must think of innovative ways to shit yourself.
It's the work of Rete, on Kongregate, and is the sort of immature 30 seconds of nonsense that only RPS friend Sam could have found.

Mauled NY man: I wanted to be one with the tiger
Sat., Sept. 22, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — Before his now-infamous tangle with a Bronx Zoo tiger, David Villalobos adorned his Facebook page with New Age odes to Mother Earth and affirmations like, "Be love and fearless."
Police said Saturday that Villalobos had told detectives that it was without fear that he leaped from an elevated train into the animal's den. His reason, they said, was that "he wanted to be one with the tiger."
Villalobos also recounted how, after he landed on all fours, the 400-pound beast attacked him and dragged around by his foot, said New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne. Despite serious injuries, he claimed he was able to get his wish and pet the tiger — a male Siberian named Bashuta — before his rescue, the spokesman added.
Based on those admissions and a complaint from the zoo, police charged the hospitalized Villalobos with misdemeanor trespassing on Saturday. It was unclear if the 25-year-old real estate agent had an attorney, and attempts to reach relatives were unsuccessful.
Villalobos' big-cat exploits Friday afternoon were an instant tabloid sensation: A front page New York Post story on Saturday was headlined "MAULED!" The Daily News countered with "ZOO-ICIDE," speculating a death wish.
Police had said earlier that Villalobos admitted to a police officer at the scene that he made a conscious decision to jump — "Everyone has a reason for what they do in life," he was quoted as saying — but that his motives were murky and an arrest uncertain.
That changed when, during a follow-up interview Saturday, Villalobos told detectives that "his leap was definitely not a suicide attempt, but a desire to be one with the tiger," Browne said.
Browne said Villalobos was charged because he had gone "beyond a perimeter security fence and an electrified wire designed to keep the public out and the tiger in."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly described Villalobos' actions as "foolish," in part because they put zoo personnel "in harm's way."
Villalobos remained hospitalized with bites and punctures on his arms, legs, shoulders and back, as well as a broken right shoulder, right rib, right ankle and pelvis and a collapsed lung. Police said there was no indication he was intoxicated.
The Wild Asia exhibit that's home to the tiger was operating as usual on Saturday, zoo officials said, declining to comment further.
Villalobos' Facebook page makes clear his infatuation with wildlife. One of several postings from Thursday was a photo of a tiger licking a cub, and the comment, "Nice." Another was of a black jaguar.
An earlier post displayed a promo for a movie called "Facing Animals," a Dutch documentary about "the complex and often bizarre relationship between man and animal."
His comment: "This looks fascinating."
Villalobos' own bizarre encounter began with a ride on the elevated train that takes unrestrained visitors over the Bronx River and through a forest, where they glide along the top edge of a fence past elephants, deer and a tiger enclosure. He and a date had taken in the same sights from the monorail during a visit to the zoo about two weeks ago, police said Saturday.
This time without warning, Villalobos apparently jumped out of his train car and cleared the 16-foot-high perimeter fence. He was alone with Bashuta for about 10 minutes before he was rescued by zoo officials, who used a fire extinguisher to chase the animal away.
The zookeepers instructed him to roll under an electrified wire to get to safety, zoo director Jim Breheny said. They then called the tiger into a holding area.
The Bronx Zoo, one of the nation's largest zoos, sprawls over 265 acres and contains hundreds of animals, many in habitats meant to resemble natural settings. Its exhibits include Tiger Mountain, Congo Gorilla Forest and World of Reptiles.
There are 10 tigers at the Wild Asia exhibit, but the 11-year-old Bashuta was the only one on display at the time. Zoo officials said he would remain in the rotation.
"When someone is determined to do something harmful to themselves, it's very hard to stop that," said Breheny. "The tiger did nothing wrong."

Theurgy Vs. Psychology
As a budding new theurgist, I often heard that theurgy was nothing more than psychology. I knew this was incorrect but I never had an argument that could hold water. I could share definitions like those below but I had no experience to back them up.
Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and biological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors.(1)
Theurgy describes the practice of rituals, sometimes seen as magical in nature, performed with the intention of invoking the action or evoking the presence of one or more gods, especially with the goal of uniting with the divine, achieving henosis, and perfecting oneself.(2)
Henosis is the word for mystical "oneness," "union," or "unity" in classical Greek.(3) In Platonism, and especially Neoplatonism, the goal of henosis is union with what is fundamental in reality: the One (Τὸ Ἕν), the Source, or Monad.(4)
Any long time reader of this blog will have seen that psychology has a part to play. I would say that huge part of my work was personal psychology. I do not think other people would necessarily be the same. It is possible to mystically hop up levels of awareness. My path was and is more like a snake, twisting, turning, revisiting, clearing etc. A lot of that psychology had to do educating myself on thought processing and expression. This had behavioral results which granted social benefits. That process also helped to get myself out of my own way, at least partially.
Being in your own way means that one is preventing one's own progress by clinging to idea or behavior that would be best discarded. This is because the perceived benefits of the idea are greater than the benefits of growth. The other possibility is that the fear of the pain involved in separating from the idea. This occurs because people identify with the idea as part of themselves rather than understanding the false and insubstantial nature of thought. The trade their true worth for the dubious value of an idea of self.
This is made harder because most people do not understand they are living an idea not enjoying a behavior. For instance, the non-alcoholic that gets drunk at parties is living the idea that one is supposed to get drunk at parties. It never occurs to him that he is the only one nor does it matter that he feels miserable the next day or worse have to apologize to someone. He is capable of real change only after he gives up the idea of proper party behavior. Maybe to do so, he has to give up the self-perception of I am the life of the party.
What most people really do not understand that severing one's allegiance to an idea is easier than clinging to an idea that no longer serves. That understanding is where theurgy becomes easier to differentiate from psychology.
Theurgy has nothing to do with healing as we commonly think of the word. Theurgy does not care directly about changing the behavior. That is the specialty of behavioral psychology. Theurgy has to do with living by the ideas that express the highest level of your soul. These ideas are not based on human morals, ethics or religion. Instead, they are based upon what your soul needs to manifest in this world.
Thuergy took me to a place where I could see the Perfection. That was a moment of mystical union.
Mystical union takes place when one is not simply invoking deity but allowing there to be no difference (or very little) between oneself and that deity. The "I" of self can be discarded and reclaimed in an efficient manner. This means a completely alien presence speaks and exists within you and it is not only totally normal but a reality deeper than most get to experience. This experience can become so deep that I have witnessed a person's eyes turn totally black like a deer's. I have been told my skin complexion changes during the invocation of certain deities. A very experienced Native American that attended the Cult of Hermes told me that my eyes turn 'other worldly'. Those observations are not the result of psychology or pharmacology for that matter!
So how do you transition between working psychologically to theurgically?
I was afraid you were going to ask that.
My first thought is that one reaches theurgy through intense focus. Psychology often involves the milieu of people in your life, their reactions to you, yours to them, associated thought process etc. As introspective as it must be this is broad spectrum thinking. Hyper focusing thought upon the deity being invoked, even if that deity is nameless or nearly nameless like Aaoz, opens the doorway to contact. Once deep contact is made, the psychology for further exploration is brought back with you. The more you do this the less barriers you face.
The psychology allows the theurgy which enhances the psychology.

Olympus goes big with 26x zoom SP-590 UZ
Not to be outdone in the quest for more range by Kodak's 24x optical zoom foray, Olympus has upped the ultrazoom bar yet again this week with the announcement of the Olympus SP-590 UZ.
If you thought Kodak's 24x, 26mm wide-angle Schneider-Kreuznach glass was excessive, brace yourself: the SP-590 UZ (for "ultra zoom") comes packing what is, to our knowledge, the most wide-ranging single lens currently available in a point-and-shoot. The camera's 26x (!) optic covers the equivalent of 26-676mm, and does so with quick maximum apertures of f/2.8-5.0.
After that bombshell, all other specs for this camera may well be secondary, but Olympus has done a respectable job of outfitting the rest of the SP-590 all the same. The 12 megapixel SP uses a 2.7 inch HyperCrystal II LCD for shot composition duties, and offers Olympus's trademark Shadow Adjustment Technology as well. Other features include face detection, compatibility with Olympus's range of wireless-ready external flash units, and a high-speed TruePic III processor that claims to provide faster sequential shooting and better high ISO performance.
In addition to its generous flash control options, the SP-590 should appeal to advanced and advancing photographers with a full complement of manual exposure controls that includes aperture and shutter priority modes. Twenty-nine total shooting modes also encompass several "artistic" scene modes inspired by the Olympus E-30, including a multiple exposure mode (for compositing two or more shots into a single frame) and a setting for softening backgrounds.
Of course, Dual Image Stabilization (using both mechanical and ISO boost methods) is essentially a must for a camera with this kind of zoom range.
All things considered, while Olympus is unquestionably a masterful builder of zoom lenses, the SP-590's lens does raise some obvious questions about performance and image quality. Built around 14 lenses in 11 groups – including 4 aspherical lenses and 3 ED elements – the lens's compact design will no doubt appeal to space-saving shooters. But with nearly 700mm of reach at the long end and an extremely wide 26mm at the other, the optical compromises are almost certain to manifest themselves in the images to some degree. Just how much, though, is the open question at this point.
We're hoping to get our hands on one of these before the day is over, and maybe even sneak in some shooting. Stay tuned…

Taylor Swift: Bikini Day with Shirtless Conor Kennedy!
Taylor Swift sports a cute red polka dot bikini while beachside and holding hands with shirtless boyfriend Conor Kennedy on Friday (August 17) in Cape Cod, Mass.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Taylor Swift
Last week, the 22-year-old "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer purchased a home in Hyannis Port, Mass., across the street from Conor's grandmother Ethel. The 13-room home with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms was reportedly scooped up for $4.9 million (it was originally listed for $14 million).
Taylor and her beau, the 18-year-old grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, were first spotted holding hands in late July.
FYI: Taylor is carrying Coach's Legacy Leather Saddle bag.
30+ pictures inside of bikini-clad Taylor Swift and shirtless Conor Kennedy…

Basic knowledge of Linux is required to be able to build the kernel. We will also need a modern Linux box (preferably).
Basic Setup
First, we need to setup a directory in which we will clone the kernel and initramfs repositories. In this guide, we will setup them in /tmp but you can do it in any directory you want.
In a terminal we run:
mkdir /tmp/semaphore
cd /tmp/semaphore
Then we clone the basic kernel repository:
git clone https://github.com/stratosk/samsung-kernel-aries
Finally we clone the initramfs repository:
git clone https://github.com/stratosk/ics-ramdisk
OK, first step done. We got the code. Now we have to do some preparation and compile it.
I prefer to use a mini ugly script to compile the kernel and pack it. It's located in the root of the kernel tree (/tmp/semaphore/samsung-kernel-aries/sbuild.sh)
We open this file with an editor of our choice (I prefer vi) and edit:
1) The two lines with the 'make' command, changing the CROSS_COMPILE= option. We need to set the path from the cross compiler toolchain. I use the one that it's included in CM9 repository.
2) The line starting with the 'find' command, changing the kernel source directory and destination directory of the modules location. This is into the initramfs directory. In our example it's /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/ics_combo/files/modules
The Semaphore's kernel configuration is located in the file config_sema in the root kernel directory. So, we need to copy this file as .config:
cp config_sema .config
Then we run this command to start the Linux kernel configuration utility (again change the CROSS_COMPILE according to your toolchain directory):
make CROSS_COMPILE=/kernels/semaphore_cap/android/android/system/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- ARCH=arm menuconfig
We go to 'General Setup' section and we change the 'Initramfs source files' option to /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/ics_combo/
We also need to change the next 2 options User ID and Group ID to whatever uid and gid we are logged in in the Linux box. In my case is 500,500. We exit and save the configuration.
Now we are ready to build the kernel!
We just run:
We wait few minutes (time depends on the machine) and hopefully the compilation will end.
The script will produce 2 files.
1) /tmp/semaphore/samsung-kernel-aries/arch/arm/boot/zImage
2) /tmp/semaphore/ics-ramdisk/cwm/Semaphore_ICS_1.2.0s.zip
These are the 2 known files that we can flash via Heimdal or CWM respectively.

The Daily Local News and WCHE 1520 AM will co-host two political debates at the Daily Local News Community Media Lab before the Nov. 6 election.
The first live debate is Tuesday, Oct. 23, and will feature state Rep. Dan Truitt, a Republican, and Democratic challenger Brett Binder. The two candidates are vying for a state House seat in the 156th District.
The second live debate will be on Thursday, Nov. 1 between U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach, a Republican, and Democrat Manan Trivedi, who are seeking a U.S. House seat in Pennsylvania's 6th District.
You can watch the debates live online on our Daily Local USTREAM page.
Those debates will begin at 7:30 p.m. and are free to the public at the newspaper office at 250 N. Bradford Ave. in East Bradford.
Anyone who is unable to attend and wants to ask a question can post it on www.dailylocal.com, the Daily Local News Facebook page or on Twitter using #dlndebate.
Representatives from both media outlets say they are pleased to host the public debates.
'Being part of the upcoming debates is critical for our role as a community newspaper and website,' said Daily Local News Editor Andy Hachadorian. 'It's our job here to get as much information out to the residents of Chester County as possible. The more they know, the better voters they will be on Election Day.
'And enhancing that role with WCHE is just a no-brainer. Our continued growth of the partnership is a win-win for us, the radio station and everyone who lives in this county. Partnerships are essential in the media nowadays. We expect it to grow more and more and again, that only serves to help our public to receive more and more valuable news and information. Our hope is that on Nov. 6 our voters cast their ballots better educated on the issues because of the work of this newspaper and WCHE.'
Bill Mason, WCHE 1520 AM general manager, said the opportunity to inform voters is critical.
'We're looking forward to WCHE and the Daily Local News jointly helping to educate voters to make informed decisions when they vote on Nov. 6,' Mason said. 'I see it as the role of responsible media to sponsor these debates and make as much information as possible available to the public.'
Both debates will be moderated by Mason and Daily Local News staff writer Eric S. Smith. The public will be invited to submit questions of the candidates during the debates.

Decades before hip-hop deejays began mixing records in the South Bronx, French engineer Leon Gaumont was crossfading records using his fantastically flamboyant Chronophone. If you ever needed to rock a party Fantômas-style while pouring a flagon of champagne out for poor dead Jules Verne, this was your rig. But in all seriousness, this set-up was suited for the cinema. As Auxetophone explains of this device's history:
In 1910 Gaumont demonstrated his Chronophone system, which synchronised sound and film, at the Gaumont Palace in Paris. The compressed-air amplifier, which he called the Eglephone, was just a part of the whole system. The volume was enough for an audience of 4000.
Initially the longest moving picture that could be made with synchronised sound was only 200ft, due to the limited playing time of the Gramophone record. (Projection was at 16 frames per second) Gaumont surmounted this problem by having two gramophone platters; a deft operator could switch between them to give a more or less continuous soundtrack.
For another outlandish facet of turn-of-the-century Parisian nightlife, see the Heaven and Hell nightclubs of Montmartre.

Spring conference season is nearly upon us, and there are more in-person SQL Server–related events to choose from than ever before. SQL Server Connections is one such event that's coming up March 27–30th in Orlando, and I thought it would be fun to get a behind the scenes look at how the sessions are chosen as well as recommendations about opportunities attendees should take advantage of at the event. I turned to SQL Server Magazine authors and SQL Server Connections co-chairs Paul Randal and Kimberly L. Tripp to give us the inside scoop on the conference.
How do you decide which sessions will be offered at SQL Server Connections? How do you determine which topics are most relevant for the SQL Server community at the time?
Kimberly & Paul: We usually have a huge number of submissions—sometimes more than 200—which makes picking 27 sessions very tricky. Kimberly and I always do 3 sessions each, plus our popular Follow-The-Rabbit session, so that narrows down the selection possibilities even more. We aim to pick speakers that have a lot of speaking experience, that one of us has seen speak in public before, and that are experts on their subjects—guaranteeing that attendees get the best value.
We're both very active in the online SQL Server community, so we have a good idea of what topics people are interested in from discussions on Twitter and so on. Plus, we look at the satisfaction trends from previous conferences to gauge what balance of topic complexity and broad subject area to focus on.
What makes SQL Server Connections stand out from the other SQL Server conferences available?
Kimberly & Paul: As with any conference, the networking possibilities are a great benefit, as is the ability to kick-back and relax while learning away from the pressure of work. SQL Server Connections stands out because we make sure that all our speakers are experienced and laid back, plus we like to have fun and get to know some of the attendees. Of course, the overriding factor that sets SQL Server Connections aside is that there are several other co-located conferences running simultaneously, and attendees can mix-n-match from a broad spectrum of subjects and technologies.
Can you provide our readers with a look at some of the questions you've been asked during your Follow the Rabbit: Wrap-up Q&A session in previous years? What do you hope attendees get out of this session (other than answers to their own questions)?
Kimberly & Paul: That would be hard as we get so many questions on such a wide variety of topics! We always put up a slide listing topics we can answer questions on, and usually some of the other speakers come to the session and sit at the front to field questions that neither Kimberly nor I are experts in. We get some good discussions going between us all and the audience. We're amazed by how popular this session is, and we had more than 100 people last time!
Which sessions (other than your own, of course) would you not want to miss?
Kimberly & Paul: Another hard one! We only pick the most interesting topics, so everything's interesting to some degree. This time around, I (Paul) will definitely try to make it to
- Denny Cherry's session on clustering
- One of Andy Leonard's sessions on SSIS
- Some of the SQL Server Central track sessions
Outside of the sessions, what opportunities do you recommend attendees take advantage of at SQL Server Connections?
Kimberly & Paul: Definitely talk to the presenters! All of us are very friendly and approachable, and we love to hear about what problems you're having and help you to get over them. Also talk to the other attendees. Just like with dedicated training classes, you'll be surprised at the hints and tips you can pick up from other people's experiences. Most of all enjoy yourself!

Mountains to Sound Greenway
Mountains to Sound Greenway [1], Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass in the state of Washington, is unique in the Interstate Highway system in the US, in that it is a designated National Scenic Byway. The Mountains To Sound Greenway Trust has acted to protect the route of I-90 from Seattle to Thorp, WA, which is the portion of I-90 through the Cascade Mountain Range. Many scenic and unique places in the Cascades can be quickly and easily accessed from the Seattle area via the Mountains to Sound Greenway and I-90. For example, Snoqualmie Pass is only a one hour drive from downtown Seattle (in good weather).
The Greenway has seen extensive human activity for the past 200 years. Logging has occurred throughout the region since the 1880's and a major lumber mill operated in the town of Snoqualmie from 1917 to 2003. Coal mining became a major industry east of the mountains in Roslyn and Cle Elem and the Alaska's gold run in 1897 poured Seattle full of adventurers looking for supplies before heading north. East of the mountains, Native Americans, part of the Yakima Tribe used to grow native crops. Once white settlers came, they displaced the native people and began growing their own crops and well as the creation of cattle ranches. The Snoqualmie Valley used to be well known for its crops of hops in the 1880's and is still considered to be very fertile land.
Trails have existed over Snoqualmie Pass for centuries, but it was not until I-90 was built that crossing the pass was relatively easy. Every year millions of vehicles go over the pass and allow for simple transportation across the country from the West to East Coast.
Get in[edit]
I-90 is the main corridor through the Greenway. One hour's drive is all it takes to get from Seattle to Snoqualmie Pass.
Get around[edit]
Make sure you have tire chains and basic emergency travel supplies in winter! I-90 is often closed during storms, and has even experienced landslides in the last few years! The westbound lanes from the Pass down about 3 miles are on elevated roadway that ices over easily.
Do[edit][add listing]
As stated above, I-90 is the main thoroughfare through the Mountains to Sound Greenway, but there are lots of activities to do along the way. There are a number of hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing sites found throughout.
Stay safe[edit]
People every year get injured or killed performing activities in the Greenway. Following basic safety tips and common sense for activities will make sure your time in the Greenway is a pleasant one.
Get out[edit]
I-90 is also the main corridor leaving the Greenway. There are also chartered buses that go in between Seattle and Snoqualmie Pass at times, usually to access the Summit at Snoqualmie during the winter.

[Talking: Yo Gotti]
I'm a North Memphis Survivor...Survivor
I'm a North Memphis Survivor...I'm a young nigga, money and power
I'm a North Memphis Survivor...Survivor
I'm a North memphis Survivor...I'm a young nigga, money and power
[Yo Gotti]
I was a young nigga thugging now, moms bugging now
Getting the Third Degree, for bringin drugs in the house
Getting my ass in, but my mama had to spoil it
Ran across my work, flushed my shit down the toilet
Fucked me up bad, but I tried to ignore it
Couldn't though, why? cuz I owed the nigga for it
125 grams eight one yo-la, 50 doller power tell blue motorola
Broke up my tube and my scale, I got no luck
Hold up, mama even threw away the soda
I remember this shit like it was yesterday
Falling in the house late, seent the look on mama's face
I knew something was wrong, by the smile and the smirk
You know the look you get when your mama really hurt
She shook her head, I dropped mine, ya'll already know
Boy you selling dope, get your shit you got to go
[Chorus repeat- X2]
I'm on the motherfucking grind
You think this easy, you out your motherfucking mind
You could see the shit I'm doing, if you was blind
Straight up, I'm just trying to get mine
[Yo Gotti]
What am I to do now, where am I to go?
And how the fuck I'm gonna pay this nigga for his do?
Been looking for me, got a nigga kind of scared
And all the other niggaz looking up side my head
They said he came through, layin low with his beeper
Two, Three cars Two, Three Desert Eagles
Got me a fresh quarter ounce and a beeper
Fuck it, I'm a grind till my bank get steeper
72 hours had 28 elither
Know what I'm talking about that uncut ether
Junkies lookin whoin, goose neckin and browsing
Word got around, I sold up the Public Housing
[Yo Gotti]
One week later had 4 and a split
Called up the nigga, told him told him come get his shit
I'm a real nigga, I just ran into some problems
All the time you think a nigga tried to slick rob ya
Thinking about my mama and them, I'm ready to go home
I'm fifteen years old, out here on my own
Mama let me back in, mama real strict
After school, straight home, no phone, no shit
Now doom in my room, I assume I was broke and it's true
So what the fuck a nigga gone do
Called grip, I heard he just got back off a trip with that shit
[Chorus repeat-X2]

Nine Billion Names of God
- $159.00
- $159.00
Descripción de editorial
A 1953 science fiction short story by Arthur C. Clarke. The story was among the stories selected in 1970 by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the best science fiction short stories published before the creation of the Nebula Awards. It was published in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume One, 1929–1964. In 2004 it won the retrospective Hugo Award for Best Short Story for the year 1954. This short story tells of a Tibetan lamasery whose monks seek to list all of the Names of God, since they believe the Universe was created in order to note all the names of God and once this naming is completed, God will bring the Universe to an end. Three centuries ago, the monks created an alphabet in which they calculated they could encode all the possible names of God, numbering about 9,000,000,000 ("nine billion") and each having no more than nine characters. Writing the names out by hand, as they had been doing, even after eliminating various nonsense combinations, would take another 15,000 years; the monks wish to use modern technology in order to finish this task more quickly. They rent a computer capable of printing all the possible permutations, and they hire two Westerners to install and program the machine. The computer operators are skeptical but play along. After three months, as the job nears completion, they fear that the monks will blame the computer, and by extension its operators, when nothing happens. The Westerners delay the operation of the computer so that it will complete its final print run just after their scheduled departure. After their successful departure on ponies, they pause on the mountain path on their way back to the airfield, where a plane is waiting to take them back to civilization. Under a clear night sky they estimate that it must be just about the time that the monks are pasting the final printed names into their holy books. Then they notice that "overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out."

Grilli taking his time early on in spring camp
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Jason Grilli, who skipped his scheduled bullpen session on Saturday and has stayed off the mound since, is getting a kick out of the curiosity sparked by his "inactivity."
"You want to make sure I'm all right?" the Pirates closer said with a wide grin.
The right-hander eventually did get a little testy when questions continued why he had gone four days without pitching, after his first regular turn on Thursday.
Grilli reaffirmed he's just "taking his time."
The interest in Grilli's throwing schedule is understandable, considering he had missed two months of last season's second half with a forearm strain. But Grilli lightly shrugs off any concern, pointing out "last spring I pitched one inning in the World Baseball Classic, and when the bell rang I was ready to go."
Grilli had gone two weeks between Grapefruit League appearances for the Bucs, and in that span was used for one inning by Team Italy in the WBC. Overall, he logged only six innings in exhibition play, then came out of the gate converting his first 25 save opportunities.

Attorney General Lockyer Announces $55 Million Settlement with Bristol in Lawsuit Alleging Firm Denied Consumers Cheaper Anti-Cancer Drugs
Patent Fraud Kept Generic Versions of Taxol Off Market
(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced a $55 million, multi-state settlement of a lawsuit that alleged pharmaceutical manufacturer Bristol-Myers Squibb (Bristol) illegally denied consumers access to cheaper, generic versions of its cancer-fighting drug Taxol.
"This settlement will help compensate the State of California and individual cancer patients, who overpaid for potentially life-saving treatments because Bristol abused the patent process to stifle competition," said Lockyer. "Just as important, the settlement prevents Bristol from repeating this conduct in the future."
The settlement requires Bristol to pay $12.5 million to compensate consumers who purchased Taxol or its generic equivalent, paclitaxel, between January 1, 1999 and February 28, 2003. Bristol must provide another $37 million in restitution for governmental entities which bought Taxol or paclitaxel. The balance of the firm's $55 million payment will fund the claims administration process and reimburse litigating states for their costs.
The settlement was filed in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., by California, 45 other states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern Miriana Islands. The court must approve the settlement before it becomes final.
Cancer victims who paid for Taxol or paclitaxel with no help from insurance will have first claim on the $12.5 million consumer restitution fund. These "cash consumers" overpaid for the two drugs by as much as 30 percent, according to the litigating states. The average, per-patient cost of a standard course of treatment using Taxol totaled $6,000 to $10,000. After the cash consumers have been compensated, the balance of the $12.5 million will be distributed to consumers whose purchases of Taxol or paclitaxel were at least partially covered by private or public insurance.
The litigating states estimate there are 150,000 claimants nationwide. The number of Californians who overpaid for Taxol or paclitaxel is not known.
The exact amount each state will receive to compensate governmental entities and programs remains undetermined. California officials estimate, based on distribution formulas under discussion, the state will receive at least $3.5 million. That figure represents money spent on Taxol or paclitaxel under the Medicaid program, by state institutions and by the Public Employees' Retirement System for self-insurance of state workers.
Paclitaxel, the actual pharmaceutical ingredient in Taxol, is used to treat ovarian, breast, lung and AIDS-related cancer. It was discovered by the National Cancer Institute, and developed and tested at taxpayer expense. In 1992, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave Bristol exclusive rights to market Taxol for five years. In 1993, Bristol told a congressional committee that "near-term generic competition for Taxol is a certainty."
The antitrust complaint, however, alleged Bristol delayed market entry of a generic version of Taxol until 2000 by fraudulently securing patents that had no legal validity. Bristol's sales of Taxol have totaled more than $5.4 billion since 1998.
The settlement prohibits Bristol from filing a patent infringement claim related to Taxol, and from collecting royalties pursuant to a Taxol license, for 10 years. During the same period, the settlement also bars Bristol from making fraudulent or baseless claims related to any patent, and from enforcing or seeking to enforce any patent it knows to be invalid. For the first five years of the settlement, Bristol must file annual compliance reports with the court.
The Bristol settlement is the latest development in a series of actions taken by Attorneys General against illegal marketplace manipulation, improper patent monopolization, wholesale price fixing and other unlawful conduct that artificially inflates drug prices.

Network World - This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach.
In IT we love creating new hype cycles and catchphrases. And like fashion trends, we seem to have a 20-year cycle where we go back to what we've done before but slap a new name on it and insist everybody must "have" it immediately. The latest hype: big data.
From Interop to cloud conferences and even to Dilbert, we are being told if we don't have a big data strategy -- that, by the way, aligns with our cloud strategy -- we are behind, and our company will crash and burn.
IN PICTURES: 'The Human Face of Big Data'
There are three important reality checks about big data. First, it's not really new. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Google have been doing big data work since the '90s. In fact, companies have been mining data for decades. It may have been only accessible or affordable to a few very large companies with big wallets and big main frame installations, but it has existed. Today, advanced data mining capability and algorithms are accessible to nearly everyone thanks to inexpensive computing and storage capacity as well as new tools and techniques.
In fact, many folks think big data is just a new name for business intelligence (BI). While there are similarities, big data goes beyond BI. I love how Stuart Miniman, a senior analyst at Wikibon, talks about the "bit flip" from BI to big data. Here is how I see that bit flip in action:
Second reality check: The "big" part is relative. We are absolutely dealing with a record level of digital data growth across all industries and organizations. According to IDC, we are creating more than 58 terabytes of data every second, and we expect to have some 35 zettabytes of digitally stored data by 2020. However, big data doesn't have to be massive. It's not so much the size but what you need to do with it and the time required to process it. A small company with 100 terabytes might have a big data problem, because it needs to extract, analyze and make decisions from multiple data sets about its product.
Third, the definition of data used in big data processes is broad. It can include both structured and unstructured data, and for some companies, the most vital big data is metadata, or the data about the data. Gartner does a good job of defining the data characteristics in big data as having volume, variety and velocity.
McKinsey defines big data as "datasets whose size is beyond the ability of typical database software tools to capture, store, manage and analyze." What I would add to this is: "that requires massively parallel software (systems) running on tens, hundreds or even thousands of servers (clouds)."
Beyond coming to a common understanding and definition of big data, the next big hurdle for most companies is how to get started. As with cloud computing, big data seems to require a massive investment and implementation of multiple solutions, new IT and business processes, and a new level of business agility. Here are seven steps to big data success:
Step 1: Admit you have a problem. This is always the hardest step. Ten years ago, we refused to admit our network was no longer protected by a ring of firewalls and proxy settings, and we had to open up our infrastructure for employee remote access and embrace the Internet. With big data, IT leaders need to step back and evaluate their data situation.
Are you overwhelmed with your data sets?
Do you NOT know where all your data sits?
Are you (or the business leaders) NOT getting the information you need from your data?
Do you have business leaders making decisions NOT based on data?
Do you see an opportunity to make IT more relevant in business policy and strategic decisions?
If you're like most companies, the answer is yes to some or all of these questions, and it's time to get control of your data and the intelligence you can gain from that data to benefit the business.
Step 2: Recognize the big opportunity you have with big data. We are always being told to be more relevant to the business. The term "business technology" has been thrown around for years, but it's not always easy to see how our latest software and processes directly impacts revenue or global growth. Big data can. Why? Because information is power, and business leaders need the information trapped in the data to compete, thrive and grow. The business, from sales to marketing to the C suite, is overwhelmed by the amount of data being generated by employees, customers and the market. Your ability to bring concise and real-time information and analysis of that data can and will drive increased revenue.
Step 3: Create your big data plan. As with any plan, you should start with the end in mind. What does the business need to know? What are the questions they need answered? Define this and get joint agreement before you even start playing with Hadoop. The whole point of this exercise if driving business intelligence and success. Then, follow these steps (obviously over-simplified, and each step could take weeks or months depending on your organization):
Isolate the data that is part of your "big data" equation
Separate "product" big data from "company" big data, such as making sure employee data needed for HR analysis is separate from customer or product search data in your e-commerce platform
Recognize and understand the peaks and valleys of your data
Understand which technologies allow real-time (or near real-time) big data processing
Identify key solutions/vendors
Start small, evaluate and grow -- do a project where you can quickly show success and ROI, then move to the next big data project
Continually analyze, adjust and give input -- big data is agile and should be adjusted as your data, the intelligence and the business requirements change
Step 4: Think distributed. Big data requires us to shift our thinking about our systems and infrastructure. Just as virtualization fundamentally changed how we were able to utilize servers and applications, so does distributed systems and processing enable us to manage big data, as a distributed architecture allows us to break the problem into many tasks and then distribute those tasks across multiple systems. The good news is we have a growing number of tools and architectural frameworks to leverage. Names like Cassandra, Hadoop, VMware, Red Hat and many more. Distributed systems are not new, but big data takes earlier approaches to a whole new level. Some examples of distributed approaches include:
Multi-tenant architecture
Distributed database
Multi-core CPUs
Parallel processing
Distributed file systems
Distributed load balancing
RAID algorithms
Step 5: Go beyond distributed to decentralized. This is the real paradigm shift for most companies. And this is where the cloud and big data come together, since the Internet is the largest distributed and decentralized system in the world, and we should leverage the Internet backbone as much as we can when implementing big data.
We are comfortable with distributed instances or compute processing but decentralized often brings the feeling of lost control. Why is this necessary? Embracing a decentralized approach to big data is required because of all of the unused instances and storage capacity going to waste due to over build out and orphaned services.
More importantly, distributed components alone will not allow us to keep up with our data growth. Remember that 35 zettabtytes expected by 2020? Even if we stay on pace with our current data center build out, which is at a record high worldwide, we can't build centralized infrastructure fast enough. IDC estimates that by 2020, we will have a 60% gap between digital data created and data center capacity available (see chart below).
However, part of that is because we don't fully utilize the capacity we already have. Gartner estimates that most computers, servers and networks are running at 30% capacity in order to be ready for peaks or future growth. While we would never run at 90% or 100% capacity, we can do more to better utilize the excess capacity we already have without creating excess risk, while saving millions of dollars and improving the TCO of the infrastructure we already have.
What are the key characteristics of decentralization:
No central bottleneck
Power of large numbers
Organic, demand driven growth in capacity
Leverages existing infrastructure and devices on edge
Shared information
Concept of "Contribution" to the community
Assumes everyone/every node is "untrusted"
Geographic spread of:
Ownership and participation
Management overhead
There are good examples of decentralized approaches today. Perhaps the most well-known one that we don't really think of as decentralized is the open source movement, which is characterized as: Programmers who support the open source movement philosophy contribute to the open source community by voluntarily writing and exchanging programming code for software development. If you look at the definition of decentralization above, the open source community is a perfect example of decentralized development. And, while 10 years ago few enterprises utilized open source code in production, today you are in the minority if you do not leverage open source components in your stack.
There are two newer examples of decentralization in the dev/ops community, which I define as decentralized cloud systems: CloudStack and OpenStack. What I like about OpenStack is not only the community aspect and how even big vendors like IBM, HP and Cisco are jumping on board, but how it tackles the "control" issue of decentralized architectures by providing a centralized dashboard and interface. We are still in the early stages of decentralization, but this will be a key trend over the next few years as we continue to experience record data growth and require the need to process, analyze and make decisions about that data. [Also see: "Vendors continue to pick sides between CloudStack, OpenStack"]
Step 6: Hire/grow the right people and skills. I have long said that cloud does not mean fewer IT jobs, but the advent of cloud and big data does mean we need to evolve our skill set and talent pool. There are some existing roles, like database administrator, that become even more vital in the big data world. Other roles you should start nurturing and hiring in your IT organization include:
Random theorists (algorithms)
Business analysts
UX/UI experts
MORE: 'Big data' creating big career opportunities for IT pros
ROUNDUP: Top 5 cities for big data jobs
Some of these seem logical for an IT shop, but the ones I always get questions about are the business analysts and UX/UI roles, which have not traditionally sat in IT. You could put these roles in product management, but they need to work hand in hand with the dev/ops team on the big data solution. This is because if you cannot visualize the big data information to the business side, you will not succeed. Dashboards, charts and easy-to-understand analysis are key.
Also, since I mentioned it, if you have not already integrated your dev/ops teams to better manage your cloud implementations, then do it now. Our world can no longer operate with these two functions as separate silos. They must be joined at the hip and working in complete alignment for any cloud or big data strategy to succeed.
Step 7: Use data with your big data. Just like IT roles might start to look strangely business-focused, IT needs to change the way it is measured. Everyone on your team must be metrics driven and have a passion for tracking and moving toward that key performance indicator (KPI). And these should be aligned with business metrics not just about releasing on time or delivering quality code.
I think the best description of this required cultural shift is "growth hacker." A growth hacker is someone who loves driving toward metrics, is a creative problem solver, and is continually exploring new ways to push metrics up and to the right. While typically this was the job of the business side, every member of the tech team should have clear metrics and be empowered to find new ways to drive stretch results.
Big data might not be the answer to all of our prayers, but it does represent an opportunity for IT to have a seat at the table and directly drive stronger revenues, market penetration and share of voice in an ever more competitive global marketplace.

Brunch at The Misfit (Santa Monica, CA)
Not too long ago, I won a brunch for two at The Misfit in Santa Monica via Caroline on Crack. The Misfit took over the old Anisette Brasserie space and is the newest addition to the LGO Hospitality Group (they're responsible for La Grande Orange and the Luggage Room Pizzeria).
I invited my friend along for his post-birthday celebration. We started with an order of asparagus salad, lemon, parmesan-reggiano, poached organic egg ($9)
I wanted to try something from the brunch menu (there were only 5-6 items) and went with the San Daniele prosciutto + eggs, poached, scrambled or over easy with toast and burrata cheese ($10)

Prophecy Potluck... Community Discussion
In the meantime here are some things to check out if you haven't seen them yet. (I also see that Scottie Clarke put up a new video today... I plan to watch that soon and share my thoughts on that as well....) Thanks for sticking with me, it is so encouraging to see all your interaction, I just pray we can hold together until that great day. God Bless you all!
From Jimboni:
G'day Family, in light of how far afield this post will go and our being well over 100 replies, I think this means we need a new article to rant around. (quotes and refs from Wikipedia and article at Fox By Greg Norman (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/14/more-than-100-years-later-great-mystery-vanished-uss-cyclops-remains-unsolved.html).
100 years ago, today, Weds 3/13/1918, The USS Cyclops failed to arrive at port, "resulting in what remains the largest loss of life in Navy history unrelated to combat". This ship, reported to be the Navy's biggest and fastest fuel ship at the time, and 309 crew MIA 100 years ago. Well, considering the significance of this "100 year" anniversary happening NOW, the pre-eminence of this ship as largest and fastest, along with the mythical and occultic symbolism surrounding the name, I felt 'pulled' to dig in a bit. I found some interesting starters and will look for y'all to take it from here.
Cyclops are members of a primordial race of giants (Gen 6:4) and the offspring of Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Sky). OK, THAT clearly rings of Deception concerning creation. BTW, Gaia & Uranus are also the parents of the first 12 Titans, siblings of the Cyclops. Got that? TWELVE children of the 'gods' are Titans, lesser gods themselves, chosen 12, who are later opposed by their offspring, the Greek 'gods (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, etc.) who DEFEAT them and the Titans are then assigned to Tartarus, the deepest harshest spot in Hell. Circling back to the Cyclops, "In Hesiod's Theogony, Zeus releases three cyclopes from the dark pit of Tartarus. They provide Zeus' thunderbolt, Hades' helmet of invisibility, and Poseidon's trident, and the gods use these weapons to defeat the Titans." Wow, a LOT of counter-typology THERE for sure.
So, how does this ring in for us Watchers? 100 years after the DISAPPEARANCE of The Cyclops, a being with ONE EYE which was called from deepest Hell and which was a descendant and an 'angel' or agent of the counterfeit 'gods' attributed with creation, happening NOW in the context of everything we are already SEEing. Should this, the expected 'next' find for long missing vessels, be found, what would THAT portend? BTW, The Cyclops was a collier, a coal carrier for fuel for other vessels. That is, The Cyclops kept the FIRE going in vessels of WAR. One thought that comes to mind is that Lucifer could be seen as being Cyclopean: Spawn of deception, called from & destined for Hell, Single-eyed focus on his hatred of our Abba and His creation, currently unseen but lurking in the depths of the seas (Rev 17:15).
I am so looking forward to what our Abba shows YOU! Do tell! Maranatha!
From Sheila:
Could this be a new Jewish calendar for the next dispensation as this Age of Grace closes? Watchman on the Wall 88 gives us a heads up as it is "coincidentally" launched on this pivotal day at the end of the 120th Jubilee year and he leaves a link to the corroborating article.
5 min of hope and joy! Brother John @Watchman for that Great Day exudes excitement and anticipation at the news that the Barley harvest is right on schedule this year. Let us all be looking up for that Great Day with this diligent Watchman on the Wall until we soon hear the blast of THAT Trump.
The archeological work being performed at the City of David site is an ongoing testimony to the Word of God being fulfilled in our very day.
Whether you agree with this time frame or not, the math and science put forth by Daniel Matson and Darren Jack is fascinating and worth considering as we head for the finish line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Z-qevf5Pc
I know many watch Pastor JD but some have been talking about the rate of prophetic fulfillment increasing so it might be good to link it for those who haven't seen it and the wider audience that doesn't comment. 45 min and well worth it.
From Alla:
Hi all, it's very interesting today, for all your thoughts are great! Thank you! I'm searching all Scriptures. And I found also to Stephen Hawking interesting article – http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/stephen-hawking-who-said-there-is-no-god-has-died/ And here also, in Now the end begins the article about Trump - Tillerson - Pompeo, with regard of Middle East and the Rapture in Springtime – http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/trump-picks-mike-pompeo-is-70th-person-to-hold-office-of-secretary-of-state-in-us-history/
And the article of Hillary is real good, make thoughts und need to search. Many Blessings!
I made my research with this sounds of trumpets, simply with this wording of Scriptures, and I want to share with you, what do you think about.
1Cor 15:52 (KJV) – In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
– at the last trump:
– for the trumpet shall sound,
– and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
– and we shall be changed.
trump – # 4536 – salpinx – a trumpet, the sound of a trumpet
Examples: Mat 24:31 (KJV) – with a great sound of a trumpet
1Cor 14:8 (KJV) – if the trumpet give an uncertain sound
Heb 12:19 (KJV) – the sound of a trumpet
Rev 1:10 (KJV) – voice, as of a trumpet – and so on (very many Scriptures with this meaning)
Therefore, trump is simply the sound (blast) made by a trumpet. There aren't other words among these: "at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound", so we don't need to add other searchings. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" is possible only one sound (blast) of a trumpet, all events in this Scripture take place in this same moment. And then, in 1Thes 4:16, is only one trump – trump (the sound of a trumpet) of God.
1Thes 4:16 (KJV) – For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
– with the voice of the archangel,
– and with the trump of God:
– and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
The Lords comes back for us and gives a shout which will sound as a trumpet. There are very many examples in Scriptures that the voice of the Lord sounds as a trumpet. I didn't yet make the research of this last Scripture, but I want to. Then I write also about. Very much blessings!
