Remember that Dead Island trailer that took the entire internet by storm? Yeah, we all do. Except the game didn't turn out anything like the trailer.
What Naughty Dog has planned for their newly announced PS3 exclusive The Last of Us is more in line what the now famous Dead Island seemed to be about – a familiy's struggle for survival.
Our friends at PlayStation LifeStyle have taken The Last of Us announcement trailer and put a Dead Island spin on it. The end result is better than either trailer by itself. Take a look.

So part of being in this family means that I have to be a tree guy. My dad was a tree trimmer, he dad was a tree trimmer…and I'm not sure about before that, but I'm pretty sure they were tree guys, too.
The last thing you would expect guys like me to do is travel to a seminar – or I guess a "conference" to be more specific. We're not sitting-in-a-classroom kinda guys. We work outside and we get nervous sitting inside a temperature-controlled room. We love the heat…the rain…the snow…and any other weather disturbance you want to send our way. Heck…crazy weather means money for us!
But today I'm sitting in a conference room in Springfield, Virginia with several other arborists learning about the latest equipment and safety regulations.
I met a guy named Mario who could have passed for my twin brother! Good guy…he owns G&V Tree and Landscaping Service. He owns this new wood chipper that made me just a little bit excited. It's $350k though. WHAAAT?? Yep, over a quarter-million for this bad boy! I might as well buy another house.
Mario showed me the ins and outs of this thing. It's huge! It's a 50/48B Whole Tree Drum Chipper and it's a beast! Unfortunately it's also more than I need.
But if you are ever in Springfield, look up Mario. He does Tree Removal in Northern VA so just look him up. Maybe he'll show you his wood shredder!

Heavy Duty
Medium Duty
Locked Out
Our Heavy Duty Towing Services In Glendale – Central Towing
You should work with our team at Central Towing in Glendale, AZ if you have a vehicle that is heavy and needs to be moved. Heavy duty towing is a specialty that we have technicians on hand to help you with.
We know that a heavy duty towing job is going to take additional work to do right. That is why we send out well trained professionals that have the right equipment for the job. You do not want this to be done by people that have standard towing equipment. That could end in someone getting hurt, or at the very least that could damage the heavy duty vehicle that you needed help with getting towed.
Having the ability to tow any large vehicle is a good thing to have on hand, even if you don't need to use it all the time. We're aware of the fact that emergencies call for towing help to be needed, and so we're here to help and you can call us any time you have a problem around the Glendale, AZ area. When there is a heavy piece of machinery that is blocking traffic or in a bad spot, it's important that you get it moved fast, which is something that we can get done for you without too much of an issue.
We make it a point to look at our competition so we can better price our services. When you work with us, we have pricing that is fair and that you can agree with. You can ask us on the phone what you can roughly expect to pay, but each job is going to be different. Working with heavy duty vehicles or other machinery that you need moved can be a little costly. However, it's worth the extra to have someone that knows what they're doing help you so that you do not have any more damage occur to what is being moved.
Making sure that you get heavy duty towing done right is as easy as calling Central Towing. We're able to help with your Glendale, Arizona towing needs, and you can get in touch with us whether this is an emergency or something that you've been needing done for a while.

Bot Camp
"Nostalgia Theater" to reminisce on GoBots, Tonka's action figure line that attempted to challenge the Transformers for changing-toy supremacy in the 1980s, but which is now mostly derided and/or forgotten. Well, in case that didn't scratch your GoBots itch (you might want to have a doctor look at that, by the way), the folks at Topless Robot have done me one better and compiled a list of "8 Things You Probably Didn't Know About GoBots (And Probably Didn't Care)." After reading the list, you'll agree that yeah, you probably didn't care. Bonus points though for their throwing in a shout-out to another forgotten '80s toon, Turbo Teen (itself a recipient of the "Nostalgia Theater" spotlight not too long ago).
2 comments:
You might now know that Gobots actually came out about 1 year before the Transformers in the US. When LeaderOne came out as a Matchbox style toy that did anything more than opening its doors, it was neat-o... But when the Transformers toys came out... it was the next level of awesome, the level of detail of some of those cars was just beautiful, the characters for the shows were memorable ... while the show was an incredible marketing tool, for once the toys actually were worth it...
Plus the Gobots had a gay-ass theme song...

Yep...check out my GoBots "Nostalgia Theater," wherein I discuss some of these very pints:

On March 8th, International Women's Day, Rotarians across Britain and Ireland will break for tea and jam to celebrate an historic milestone, the dramatic success to date in the ongoing campaign to rid the world of polio.
Rotary clubs across Britain and Ireland plan to host simultaneous Purple4Polio Tea Parties beginning at the quintessentially British tea-time of 4pm.
The Purple4Polio campaign resonates with the International Women's Day 2017 campaign theme of Be Bold For Change and Rotary fully supports gender equality.
The Rotary polio campaign is particularly relevant to women as it dates back to 1985 and the ambitious promise Rotarians made to the mothers of the world that polio would be eradicated and their children would no longer suffer from the life threatening and crippling disease.
That promise is on the brink of being fulfilled, with just 37 polio cases in three countries in 2016. There are real hopes that 2017 will see the last case of polio worldwide.
A Purple4Polio Tea Party will be taking place at Rotary London headquarters in Regent's Park with a host of celebrity guest speakers including TV Presenter Konnie Huq, who will open the event, as well as Jane Garvey of BBC Radio 4's 'Woman's Hour', Purple4Polio Ambassador and broadcaster, Julia Roberts and former BBC World Affairs Correspondent Emily Buchanan.
To support the tea parties and Rotary's campaign to end polio forever, Typhoo Tea, the second largest tea manufacturer in the UK, is organising a tea-tasting at the launch, and donating tea and branded disposable mugs.
Somnath Saha, CEO, of Typhoo Tea, says: "Uniting communities to help eradicate polio is essential and we're proud to be a part of helping achieve this. Working closely with Purple4Polio nationwide, we're hoping our charitable tea parties will bring people together to cross the finishing line and end polio now."
Wilkin & Sons Ltd. (Tiptree Jam) has given 52,000 specially branded jars of plum and greengage Purple4Polio jam to Rotary members across Britain and Ireland who will use the jam to raise awareness of the Purple4Polio campaign and to raise money by filling the empty jars with coins.
The aim is to raise up to £1 million, and with matching funding through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this £1 million will become £3 million.
Polio eradication has become a personal mission for Eve Conway, the President of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland. Eve recently returned from India where she joined British Rotarians on the frontline in the fight against the disease (pictured above).
India was declared polio free in 2014 but there are still vital ongoing national immunisation campaigns giving polio drops to every single child under five years old in order to keep the country free of the disease.
Eve Conway says: "We want to celebrate our immense achievement so far and remind everyone we are so close now to Rotary's goal of a polio free world. With just 37 cases worldwide last year, it's absolutely vital we push this last step. We truly are on the brink of an historic milestone and this year we could see the last case of polio worldwide."
In addition to the informative and inspiring speakers, the mesmerising young singer, Bethany Hare, will provide a musical interlude. Bethany won a Rotary Young Citizen Award when she was 12 for her inspirational fundraising. Her charity, Bethany's Smile, has raised tens of thousands of pounds for children with life-threatening illnesses.
Outside of the London event, clubs across Great Britain and Ireland will be hosting their own Purple4Polio tea parties throughout the coming weeks.

Spring has joined us and I couldn't be more excited. I wake up in the morning and the warm sunshine gently touches my face, slowly filling my heart with joy. It's so much more pleasant to get up early when there's no dark clouds waiting to stay with you for the rest of the day. The cold is steadily turning into a swift warm breeze and I can't wait for the sun rays to be beaming with delight. To bring these beautiful Spring vibes to life in my home I've been enjoying buying fresh flowers and changing up my wardrobe with pieces featuring fresher and brighter colors. Beauty wise I've got my makeup pretty much covered and all that's left is a gorgeous Spring manicure! Let's have a look at what Essie has in store for us with their newest Spring collection!
Pink - 480 backseat besties
Blue - 483 all the wave
Green - 478 on the roadie
Purple - 482 designated DJ
Coral - 479 excuse me sur
Red - 481 B'aha moment!
The nail polishes were gifted to me by Essie Belgium.

iPhone 5 in the enterprise: Pain or gain?
"There are twice as many mobile devices per user compared with just a few years ago and each device is driving 10 times to 100 times more traffic," he said. "Our conservative estimate is that each mobile device has the potential to contribute 15 GB [per month] of traffic to the corporate network."
That could mean a doubling of the telecom service budget for a business, Urban said.
Troy Fulton, director of product marketing for Tangoe, a telecom expense management provider, said the iPhone 5 will create a "dramatic uptick in demand on IT staff" because it will be so popular.
The larger screen, up from 3.5-in. in previous iPhones, will be more useful to workers for running corporate apps, he said.
Because the device will be attractive and fast, more data than ever will be used, Fulton said. "Technology leaders should be concerned with the iPhone's data plans and users blowing past them," he said. "There's a dramatic cost risk."
Some carriers are advertising LTE download speeds in excess of 10 Mbps, but speeds could be much higher as networks improve in coming years.
Fulton said organizations that have implemented a BYOD strategy already will find the iPhone 5 "not much worse" than integrating other smarpthones. Also, iOS 6 is not much more challenging to manage than iOS 5, he said.
iOS 6 is due to roll out next Wednesday, Sept. 19.
"What should cause concern is the increase in data demand and how to manage that demand," Fulton added.
Despite some concerns about a BYOD impact from the iPhone 5, Jack Gold, of J. Gold Associates, said the phone will not make much difference in its impact on IT. "People are already bringing in all kinds of devices to the office," he said. "It doesn't make much difference if its 3G, 4G, LTE or more. The real issue is, can the company manage the devices that people bring in?"

This weekend I took some time to organize a few of the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen and clear the counters up a little bit. It feels so good to have things in there feeling more orderly.
I also took away the high chairs from the table in the kitchen nook-
and moved the bench from the back wall of the living room back to it's spot at the table since our twins are tall enough now to reach the table when they're sitting on it.
The bench had been sitting around the corner on this wall just outside the entry area-
But that was just a temporary spot until we were ready to ditch the high chairs and put the bench back at the table where it belongs.
Now that this area is cleared I have plans for it....
It's a major walkway and there isn't a whole lot of room back here so I can't do much, but I have a few ideas.
In the meantime I've now added something to my to-do list- painting the kitchen table legs and base white. I haven't been happy with the finish for a long time so it's been one of those things I've been meaning to get around to eventually. But now with all the white on the bench right next to them, the table legs look dirty so I'm hoping to speed up my painting plans.
I do really love the punch of color and pattern that the bench is giving this part of the kitchen.
If you want to see how I re-upholstered this bench in the leafy fabric you can check out this post.

GARRETT — After the first four of five matches went the distance, the rest were won by fall, and the Railroaders finished with five wins by fall en route to a 51-24 win over Churubusco Thursday.
"Overall, it's better. We've been better about every single time, so we're progressing," Garrett head coach Nick Kraus said. "We have some young guys and have some stuff to work on. Some things are simple things that should be fixed and will be fixed."
The Eagles finished with four wins on the night and all came by pin.
"We've got some young kids that are youngs kids. They've got a little bit of learning to do still," Churubusco head coach Sam Riesen said. "If we have a little more focus in practice, I think we can go a long way during this season. We saw some things we were happy with."
From the 152-pound match to 195, that's were the five wins by fall came for Garrett. And while some simple things need to be fixed for the Railroaders, it was simple that propelled them to five victories.
"One fifty-two to one ninety-five, I was happy with (their performance)," Kraus said. "In past matches we've been trying to do way too much, so I kind of wanted to keep us simple. In one fifty-two to one ninety-five, they kept it very simple."
At 170 pounds, Alex Raske was matched up with Churubusco's Nathaniel Keener. Raske got a takedown early in the first period, but Keener escaped and answered with a takedown of his own.
In the second period of the match, Raske got a quick reservsal and earned a three-point near fall. Raske finally did get the fall 40 seconds into the period.
"I think that's the best match that Alex Raske has wrestled so far," Kraus said. "He didn't blow the kid right away, but he was methodical, patient. And he did a few things that we've been working on in practice. He listened during the match, and I was really happy with that."
Garrett's Clayton Fielden (152), Drake Baker (160), Jacob Bevis (182) and Beck Davis (195) all won by fall Thursday.
For the Eagles, Mason Grey (126), Joe Leazier (145), Joe Rennaker (285) and Shawn Prater (106) all won by pin.
Riesen said his guys have been working on big moves during matches, but not trying to force the moves. Instead, letting the move come during the flow of the match.
"All of those guys went out there and executed pretty well," Riesen said. "Their ability to execute those moves at key points in the match really showed."
Other winners for Garrett in Thursday's match were Brayden Shearer (113), Andrew Wertman (120), Mason Custer (132), Kolin Cope (138) and Cam Smith (220).

The busted trade free for all
When you agree a trade with a counterparty you're done, filled, executed, correct? My word is my bond, and all that?
Depending on where you do your trading business, yes, possibly, or not at all. In the worst case, you may have granted your counterparty a free option to reprice trades to its advantage.
Following last week's dramatic breakdown of the Swiss franc/euro currency peg, several electronic FX brokers decided to "revisit" executed client orders.
For example, according to commenters on the Bronte Capital blog and elsewhere on the internet, Saxo bank told its clients that trades agreed and confirmed in the immediate aftermath of the currency move would be moved to a level more favourable to the broker.
One client's apparently executed stop-loss at EurChf 1.20 was moved to 0.9625, another's from 1.184 to 0.9625. For leveraged clients, such a repricing may have turned a painful shock into insolvency.
How are Saxo-like repricings possible?
It turns out that the Danish bank had covered itself via the legal small print of its client contracts, which stated:
"It is possible that errors may occur in the prices of transactions quoted by Saxo Bank. In such circumstances, without prejudice to any rights it may have under Danish law, Saxo Bank shall not be bound by any Contract which purports to have been made (whether or not confirmed by Saxo Bank) at a price which:
(i) Saxo Bank is able to substantiate to the Client was manifestly incorrect at the time of the transaction; or
(ii) was, or ought to have reasonably been known by the Client to be incorrect at the time of the transaction.
In which case Saxo Bank reserves the right to either 1) cancel the trade all together or 2) correct the erroneous price at which the trade was done to either the price at which Saxo Bank hedged the trade or alternatively to the historic correct market price."
But surely exchange-based trades—where the exchange stands between buyer and seller—aren't vulnerable to such after-the-fact repricings or cancellations?
Unfortunately they are.
In 2013 Goldman Sachs was able to bust (get out of) a large number of options trades which it had priced incorrectly, apparently as the result of a computer error.
But why was Goldman able to do so, when in a similar case a year earlier market maker Knight incurred huge losses and was forced into a fire sale of its business?
Because the rules of NYSE Euronext's options trading venue, where most of Goldman's losing options deals were apparently executed, permitted it.
By contrast, cancellation trades for equities (imposed after the 2010 "Flash Crash", another case of trades being torn up after the event on the basis of an arbitrary judgement by the exchanges involved), were apparently stricter, meaning that most of the trades spewed out by Knight's rogue algorithm were forced to stand.
But it gets even more complicated. According to Bloomberg, while NYSE Euronext voided its share of Goldman's options trades, the bank's options trades executed on other exchanges were either left untouched or repriced:
"The majority of the reviewed trades at the International Securities Exchange were adjusted and not canceled, based on the exchange's rules, Bats Global Markets Inc. let the few hundred trades on that venue stand while Boston Options Exchanges adjusted trades."
"It's crazy when you look at how ISE does it one way, CBOE does it another way, Amex does it yet another way, that is absurd and it is demonstrably dangerous," Mark Longo, founder of the Options Insider, told Bloomberg at the time.
"Let's say you're a market maker and you put up the same trade on three different exchanges, then you have three different processes you have to deal with to bust or adjust the exact same trade and you may have three different outcomes. How is that beneficial to anybody?"
Good question. And in the aftermath of another algorithm-accelerated rout in the Swiss Franc last week, it's one that every investor should be asking. Understand how the rules of your trading venues or counterparties work in a market crisis or you risk being the next victim.

It is easy to let life get in the way. Too many times have I let what is going on around me define what and who I am. I let the stress take over and that isn't good for anyone and it can certainly sabotage any weight loss efforts.
My job, like so many others, is very stressfull for me. It's not something I can change right now. How I deal with it though, I can change. Rather than let it eat away at me and ruin all my efforts, I have to at some point just LET IT GO. Yes, much easier to type that than it is to actually do it.
Letting stress interfere causes depression and that of course causes overeating or causes you to make bad food choices because you "need" chocolate or fried cheese. It does't have to be that way. Really, it doesn't. I konw you are thinking "oh, but I do need my chocolate or that tub of ice cream."
Don't let stress win. Keep your eye on the prize, on the long term. But remember, a slip up now and then is just that a slip up. It doesn't mean you have ruined it all and you can just start again next week. That is the basis of yo-yo dieting. One slip up does not make you a failure.
I have to confess, I LOVE Dove chocolates. The ones with the melting chocolate center or the caramel center. I call them "a little slab of heaven". I would have a few a day. I mean after all they are small. Right? This little delights sit on a desk right next to me. I can just roll my chair over to get some. Yeah I don't even have to get out of my chair to walk to it. When I gave up soft drinks in March, I have only had 2 since then and you what? They weren't as good or satisfying as I remembered. What was I thinking?
Evidently, I have new habits in place that make my old habits seem not worth it. I have absolutely NO desire for a soft drink. Not even a sip. The chocolates, so not worth it. Now, ice cream? I like ice cream. Do I love it? No. Do I eat it when I am bummed? No. So I continue to have Skinny Cow ice creams. The fudge bars are my favorite. My vice when I was bummed or stressed has always been real food. I would pig out and not even realize it.
Okay, I have a warning for those that eat at Jason's Deli, if you have one around. BEWARE!! Yes their food is delicious. They claim to be healthy and organic. "Food you can feel good about." No you can't. Go to their website before you go there again. Check out the nutrition information. You will be horrifed by the calories, fat and sodium content. Their infamous Nutty Mixed up Salad. It is organic and supposedly healthy. 45g of fat.
Motivational Tip #3
Promise yourself a reward when you reach certain weight loss goals. Having something to work towards makes the journey that much more enjoyable. The proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Rewards could be a new shirt, purse or girl's day out.

Have you ever wondered what automobiles will be like in the year 2020 and beyond? Though we probably won't have flying cars like those in the Jetsons or those seen in the top driver movies of all time any time soon, automobiles will certainly change in some truly amazing ways in the next couple years. Here's a look at what vehicles will be like in the year 2020.
The Cars of 2020 Will Predict Upcoming Events
Tomorrow's vehicles won't tell you which stocks will go up and down yet they will be able to predict events on the road. The vehicles of 2020 will be equipped with all sorts of cameras and sensors that detect people, vehicles and even animals on the road. More importantly, they will can stop, slowing or even moving out of the way to prevent collisions with such objects. Consider the night vision systems Mercedes and BMW engineers are perfecting. It identifies infrared light and even boosts the vehicle's light to help the driver see wayward individuals and objects. Though these features are currently available on the pricey automakers' top end vehicles, they will likely be standard on all new vehicles sold in 2020 and beyond.
Cruising with Ease
Adaptive cruise control is available on some of today's vehicles. It will be ubiquitous by the time 2020 rolls around. This technology makes use of radar to keep the vehicle at a safe distance from other automobiles when cruising along the highway. This way, there is no need to constantly hit the brakes and reset the cruising speed when approaching another vehicle. This technology will likely be improved to the point that it even functions at low speeds to prevent collisions in everyday stop-and-go traffic.
The Electrification of Vehicles
Automakers will embrace the electrification of vehicles to dramatically improve fuel efficiency. It won't be long until many automobiles feature regenerative brakes that recharge the on-board battery whenever the driver presses the brake pedal. Vehicles will also feature stop/start technology to boost fuel efficiency by upwards of 10 percent. This technology turns off the vehicle's engine when it comes to a halt at a red light or when in heavy traffic. The engine is then restarted once the driver takes his foot away from the brake pedal.
Vehicles That Communicate With One Another
Can you imagine automobiles communicating with one another to prevent collisions? It will be possible in 2020. Ford engineers are currently working on an intelligent vehicle system that makes use of advanced Wi-Fi to send an automobile's location to others in the area and recognize vehicles in its vicinity. Such technology will warn drivers of oncoming cars that will soon zoom through a red light, come to an abrupt stop ahead of your vehicle and so on.
Voice Commands
The vehicles of 2020 and beyond will respond to drivers' voice commands. Imagine a situation in which you want to change your vehicle's radio station yet you do not want to remove your hands from the wheel as traffic is hectic. Tomorrow's vehicles will respond to your voice commands to change the radio station, moving through music tracks and even reading incoming text messages. You will also be able to verbalize desired destinations and have the vehicle's artificial intelligence respond with accurate directions.
Vehicle Improvement Through Microprocessors
Imagine rolling through the drive-thru lane of your favorite fast food joint and having your meal charged to your vehicle instead of your credit card. It will be possible in 2020. Vehicles will be equipped with microprocessors that allow for such transactions. Plenty of states already provide debit cards that drivers mount to their windshield to facilitate toll payments. It won't be long until a Wi-Fi network communicates with vehicles through an encrypted signal for the processing of all sorts of different financial transactions on-the-go.

The transition from a desktop DAW to an iOS device for music production can sometimes be a frustrating experience. It's easy to get lost or stuck in the iOS architecture when you're used to your cozy all-in-one powerhouse software.
Well, did you know that there's often an iOS equivalent for your favourite DAW features? Tie it all together with an Audiobus chain or Inter App Audio and you just might appreciate the advantages of using a tablet or phone alongside your desktop computer.
In 'There's a Music App for That!' we try and find signature functionality that make a certain desktop DAW and compare it to its iOS counterpart. Who knows, maybe we can turn this into a series!
FL Studio's Step Sequencer + DM-1
Going strong for many years now is FL Studio. Now being at version 11 FL Studio's main centrepiece remains its top-notch step sequencer. It's at the base of many tracks you'll start in the software and has often been copied in other music software because you can quickly write down a rhythm track with it.
You'd maybe look at FL Studio Mobile first to find that same step sequencer, but we find Fingerlab's DM-1 drum machine much more pleasant to work with. Sporting 86 drum kits on board as well as the ability to create your own kits with custom samples you have a broad sound palette to get going. Add to that the effect section, the cool pattern arranger and the flexible ways of getting audio in and out of the app, DM-1 is a powerhouse on its own.

Ableton's Session View + Loopy HD
For composing or live performance there's not much that can beat Ableton's workflow in the Session View editor. The clip launching has become so popular that it dictates the hardware controllers that are released nowadays.
There are multiple iOS apps that have incorporated or emulated that same Session View workflow, but we keep coming back to A Tasty Pixel's Loopy HD. Loopy, as the name gives away is a great looper app available for iPad and iOS. With intuitive touch controls you can record a (microphone) input or other app's audio into Loopy's circle slots that can be set up with varied bar length. Playing back and silencing tracks happens with a touch of the fingers and exporting and importing audio is a breeze.
You'll miss out on a scene launcher and the maximum of 12 loop circles might feel limiting, but other than that Loopy HD is a great sketchpad for composing.

Reason's Racks + Caustic 3
Propellerhead's Reason has a large following that mostly fell in love with the self-contained rack-based interface. The modular ecosystem of Reason might've started out as more a weakness than a strength, but over the years it has (also with help of Rack Extensions) developed from a rewired sound source into a full-fledged DAW.
Propellerhead has flirted with iOS for a while now. First with Figure and later by bringing their flagship Reason synth Thor over to the iPad. However, the closest thing you can find to Reason on an iPad right now is Single Cell's Caustic 3. Caustic started out as a music production app on Android, but was ported over to iOS with the release of version 3.
Just like Reason, Caustic consists of different synth, drum and effect machines that you can tie together in a rack-based interface along with a mixer and mastering section. The app sports a neat, retro interface and allows you multiple import options (WAV, Soundfont) to make the sound your own.

Moon Wisdom
Transform Your Life Using the Moon's Signs and Cycles
Heather Roan Robbins believes how we respond to the moon's powerful influence is key to how we lead our life.
The Moon circles the Earth and zodiac in approximately 28 days and changing signs every 2½ days. The Moon sets the tone of the day. When we know today's Moon sign, we know what to expect of the public mood and how to easily handle people. When we know the Moon we were born under, we have a new understanding of ourselves, what drives us, and what makes us feel at home. And when we know the Moon sign of our partner, boss or best friend, we have a beneficial tool to understand and get along smoothly with them.
In Part I of Moon Wisdom each sign of the zodiac is divided into two sections, focusing on the Moon by the day and by the person. First the meaning and usefulness of the sign of the Moon each calendar day is explored to help us navigate our day and make the most of our time. Then the imprint of that sign and phase of the Moon at the moment of our birth is explored to better understand and deal effectively with ourselves and others. In Part II the exploration goes deeper as we layer in the effect of the phases of the Moon on our everyday life and on our birth Moon. From here we bring attention to the Moon's relationship to the other planets, and how to use those important aspect-relationships to fine tune our planning. Heather Roan Robbins shows how with the wisdom of the moon and its empowering guidance you can always choose your response and take charge of your life in a positive, healthy, and proactive way!

Bengal woman was repeatedly gangraped before being killed
ROHTAK: The 26-year-old West Bengal woman who was found dead with bullet injuries in a Rohtak canal was killed for resisting gangrape bid by four men, police said on Saturday, revealing more gory details about the gruesome incident that occurred on September 7.
The police arrested two out of the four rapists on Saturday and took them on remand for four days from a local court. The two were identified as Amit and Ajeet, both residents of Jind.
The police said Amit and Ajeet, along with their friends Meeta and Rohit, consumed alcohol in Jind on September 7. They then went to Gohana and contacted Jaiveer, who ran a prostitution racket at his house and had taken the victim and her friend hostage.
The four men raped the victim and her friend at Jaiveer's house. They then "bought" the victim for Rs 5,000 from Jaiveer and took her to their room in Jind, where they gangraped her multiple times again. Later in the day, Meeta had a quarrel with the victim and asked his friends to take her back to Gohana and bring a new girl instead, the police said.
"While Amit and Ajeet were taking the victim back to Gohana, Meeta and Rohit came back and changed their mind. They decided to rape the victim again at a secluded place near the canal, but when she resisted, they shot her dead and threw her body in the canal," inspector Rajbeer Singh, said.
Earlier, the victim's friend, who had managed to flee the custody of Jaiveer had reached out to cops with details of her ordeal.
The police conducted a raid in Gohana and busted a prostitution racket being run by Jaiveer and two other women. The police said attempts were on to nab Meeta and Rohit.

The citizens of northern Bavaria, Germany met with tragedy yesterday when a teenager attacked passengers on a train, wielding a knife and axe. Being called the "Würzburg Axe Attack" due to where the train stopped, this unfortunate incident was allegedly perpetrated by a man named Muhammad Riyad, who remains the only fatality as of yet. Those struggling to make sense of the past 24 hours likely have a lot of questions, and a search of every possible related term such as, "Muhammad Riyad Germany train axe attack ISIS" may not make things much clearer. Who is Muhammad Riyad? What did the Amaq news agency reveal? Here are four facts that we know at this time.
About the Attack
On Monday evening at around 7:15 p.m. GMT in Germany, a teenager brandishing an axe and a knife boarded a train traveling between Treuchlingen and Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany. Shortly after the train reached Würzburg, the teen pulled out his weapons and began attacking people. Upon leaving the train, which was described as resembling a "slaughterhouse" by the end of the attack by witnesses, the attacker made an effort to flee, but was shot and killed by police.
People Were Injured
At this time, the assailant is the only fatality. However, around 20 people were injured in the attack, four more seriously than the rest, and many others onboard the train had to be treated for shock. The four suffering from major injuries (two of which are in critical condition) are all part of the same group; a group of tourists from Hong Kong that consists of both parents, their son, their daughter and their daughter's boyfriend. Only the son escaped unharmed.
Muhammad Riyad, the One Responsible
Who is Muhammad Riyad? According to the authorities, that is the name of the (now deceased) person responsible for the Würzburg Axe Attack. He was 17 years old before his passing yesterday. He was reportedly an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, having come to Germany alone. He had been living in the nearby town of Ochsenfurt, (a district in Würzburg) in the care of a foster family. At this time, Muhammad Riyad is being treated as a lone attacker in this horrific incident.
It is Likely Riyad Had Been Recently Radicalized
Muhammad Riyad is believed to have performed this attack for terror-based reasons on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (or just Islamic State) formerly known as ISIS. A flag bearing the group's insignia was found in Riyad's room at his foster home and people present at the attack have claimed to have heard him yelling "Allahu akbar" ("God is great") inside the train. However, if he was radicalized, official sources have claimed that it must have been quite recently and that he was not particularly devout in regards to the Muslim faith.
ISIS News Site Has Claimed Riyad as One of the Group's "Fighters"
In related ISIS news, the Amaq news agency (an Islamic State news source) released a statement claiming that Muhammad Riyad was, "one of the fighters of the Islamic State and the fighter answered calls to target countries of the coalition that is fighting the Islamic State." The Islamic State news agency also shared a video of Riyad encouraging Muslims, who could not reach the Islamic State bases in Syria and Iraq, to engage in terror attacks in their current country of residence. The person in the video (who may or may not actually be Riyad) also claims that he will use the knife he is holding in the video to avenge people killed in Muslim countries.

I will be driving up to the NSS-CDS Workshop in Marianna on Friday, May 23. My current plan is to stay in Marianna until at least Sunday. Depending on the diving conditions, I might want to stop and dive on the way back to South Florida. So, I might end out returning on Monday, May 26 rather than returning to Miami right after the close of the Conference.
I am looking for someone that wants to split the ride expense along the way. If you are driving up from along my intended route and want someone to split your driving expenses instead of driving up in my car, that would also be fine with me.
Please PM if interested.
