The keynote speech at a party convention has recently been given to those who the party thinks could lead them to the future. In 2004, a candidate for Senate named Barack Obama, received plenty of high praise for his stirring speech that may very well be his most-remembered.
The keynote speech is often a springboard for national office and it appears that Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is eyeballing the slot.
Christie, an early and vocal surrogate for presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, has been one of the rising stars in the party ever since he beat incumbent Jon Corzine in 2009. Christie, whose "straight talking" method of speaking has been often compared to bullying, has a big fanbase on the right. He has demolished unions, called out the state's teachers and been a loud voice for cutting income taxes.
So naturally there has been some talk that Christie could wind up being the running mate for Romney this November. But it always appeared the Garden State Governor had his eye on one position: The Presidency. A well-received speech at the Republican National Convention could very well thrust Christie into the front-runner slot for 2016 if Mitt Romney loses.
But I still have my doubts about a national Christie campaign. His style of speaking can excite the partisan right, but it can a be real turn-off to independent voters. Also, giving New Jersey's relatively solid blue hue, he will be in for a potentially tough re-election fight in 2013. Christie has built strong friendships amongst the right, yes, but he also has very strong enemies in the union crowd.
Stay tuned.

The director and a lieutenant of the Seminole Police Department have been charged with poaching an alligator on the tribe's Big Cypress Reservation.
Director Richard McMonagle and Lt. Richard Patton were accused of killing an alligator last December, and serving the tail at a Christmas party for the Seminole Police Department, said Assistant State Attorney Ed Pyers.
"The alligator was shot and chopped with an ax," Pyers said. "The tail apparently was served at a party in Pembroke Pines. The carcass was left in the water."
Pyers said alligator poaching is a felony punishable by a maximum penalty of five years in prison or $5,000 fine.
McMonagle and Patton are expected to surrender today to Broward Sheriff's Office deputies. McMonagle, Patton and Seminole Tribe officials were not available for comment on Tuesday.
McMonagle joined the Seminole Police Department as a lieutenant in June 1984 and was promoted to director two months later. He had been chief of the Royal Palm Beach Police Department for five years.
In 1983, McMonagle admitted to falsifying attendance records for a class he taught at the Criminal Justice Institute on Broward Community College's Davie campus.
Two Hollywood police officers, Debbie Getz and Dawn Miller, were fired after it was found that they did not attend the class and received pay raises tied to passing the course. Both officers were later reinstated, but resigned from the department for other reasons.
McMonagle admitted to getting paid for classes he never taught and for falsifying attendance records.
The tribe's Big Cypress Reservation is due west of Fort Lauderdale, covering the far west reaches of Broward County and parts of Hendry County.
Alligators are still protected by state law, although they are not on the endangered species list, said Lt. Jim Sistrunk of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission.
"Alligators are protected the same way deer are," Sistrunk said. "We have biologists who are out in the field checking the alligator population.

ELK CITY, Okla. - The sheriff who was shot during a confrontation Sunday night with Michael Vance is on the road to recovery.
Dewey County Sheriff Clay Sander remains in the Great Plains Regional Medical Center in Elk City.
Friends, family and colleagues of Sander said they are thankful he survived a dangerous gun battle.
"Police officers are dedicated to what they do, and it's not just a rush of adrenaline. It's protecting the respective citizens of their city or county, and they put their lives on the line everyday, and Clay did that tonight," said Beckham County Sheriff Scott Jay. "We're a brotherhood, and we stick together and it hurts. I'm thankful for tonight that Clay, who's a great guy, he's a great guy - I'm just glad that he's going to be okay."
U.S. Marshals report Sander pulled over a stolen truck driven by Vance around 9:30 Sunday night in western Oklahoma, near Leedey.
At that moment, a gun battle erupted.
Sander was shot twice in the arm.
Friends and family were panicked when they heard the news but were relieved to hear Sander was alive and going to make a full recovery.
"Everybody's okay. I think, after they showed up and knew he was going to be okay, they're relieved. We just want to do what's best for Clay now and do whatever we can to help him, because he's going to have a long road to heal, but he's going to be okay," Jay said.
Positive news some Elk City residents were happy to hear.
"If he's listening, keep fighting and you'll get back on your feet soon," said Faron Buttry, Elk City resident.
For the past week, the State of Oklahoma has been on edge with Vance on the run.
"People were nervous whether he was still in this area, whether he went back to central Oklahoma. Nobody knew. He went dark. We had theories, but everyone can rest easy now and sleep a little easier tonight," Jay said.
A dangerous search that ended with an accused killer off the streets for good.
"Give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done, because this man was a dangerous man," Buttry said.

Solar Impulse US touchdown: All about record-breaking sun warriors
The sun-powered Solar Impulse 2 aircraft completed its historic flight without consuming a drop of fuel, touching down successfully in Hawaii.world Updated: Jul 05, 2015 12:59 IST
The sun-powered Solar Impulse 2 aircraft completed its historic flight without consuming a drop of fuel, touching down successfully in Hawaii.
The 4,000-mile leg from Nagoya, Japan, to Hawaii was not only the world's longest solar-powered flight both by time and distance, it also set the record for longest solo flight by time.
The propeller-driven plane was originally scheduled to fly directly from Nanjing in China to Hawaii. But bad weather along the way forced a diversion to Japan that extended for almost the whole of June as forecasters waited for better conditions.

Piloted by veteran Swiss aviator Andre Borschberg, the plane took five days to make the historic voyage from Japan to Hawaii and landed on Friday shortly after dawn at Kalaeloa Airport on the main Hawaiian island of Oahu.
What is Solar Impulse 2?
The Solar Impulse 2 set off from Abu Dhabi earlier this year in a multi-leg attempt to fly around the world without a single drop of fuel.

It has 17,000 solar cells and on-board rechargeable batteries with a top speed of 140 kilometres an hour.

Its wingspan is longer than that of a jumbo jet but the carbon-fibre aircraft weighs only 2.3 tonnes(2,300kg) a little less than a Mahindra Scorpio.

The plane is the successor to Solar Impulse, which managed a 26-hour flight in 2010, proving its ability to store enough power in lithium batteries during the day to keep flying at night.

As the China-U.S. relationship sinks into substantial confrontation and uncertainty in step with the trade war, the overall situation is exerting a tremendous negative impact on the Taiwan issue and relations across Taiwan Straits. The "Taiwan card" and U.S. legislation regarding Taiwan (such as the Taiwan Travel Act) seem to have become a new consensus in U.S. diplomacy. The U.S.' overreaction on El Salvador switching diplomatic recognition to Beijing as well as its actual move of vocally supporting Taiwan also seem to be enhancing Taiwan's significance in the U.S. strategic regime. Yet have such developments really reflected majority opinion in American society, or the intentional exaggeration and distortion by the hawkish factions in American politics? We need authentic data to evaluate the actual weight and impact of the Taiwan issue in China-U.S. relations, and to come up with relatively prudent and accurate crisis management tactics.
According to Q36/a-h of the Pew Spring 2018 Global Attitude Survey, Taiwan was the issue the American public cared the least about concerning China, the top three being U.S. indebtedness to China, cyber attacks from China, and China's international influence. This is more or less inconsistent with the attention the Taiwan issue receives at home and its generally perceived importance in China-U.S. relations. Judging from specific figures, under the label "very serious", in descending order, the eight indices involved in the survey were respectively: 1, large-scale U.S. indebtedness, 62%; 2, cyber attacks from China, 58%; 3, Chinese influence on global development, 51%; 4, American job loss to China, 51%; 5, China's human rights policies, 49%; 6, U.S. trade deficit with China, 48%; 7, China's territorial disputes with neighboring countries, 34%; 8, tensions between China and Taiwan, 22%.
The survey involved eight questions, all related to China, showing an unprecedented rise in the American public's concern about China against the backdrop of the China-U.S. trade war. Since multiple surveys involved China-U.S. trade ties, they indicate Trump's tough stance on the trade war has some degree of popular endorsement, mirroring American sensitivity to and fear of China's trading prowess and its long-term international influence.
Judging from statistical findings, American public attention is more focused on their country's own security and interests, rather than the so-called human rights and Taiwan issues. Such findings remind us to properly appreciate differences between the positions of American politicians and the general public on Taiwan and transcend media noises. However, it is also important to keep in mind the relationship between trade war and Taiwan, as the "Taiwan card" has become a chess piece for the U.S. to pressure China. If trade disputes deteriorate as time goes by, the American public will show increasing sympathy and support for politicians playing the Taiwan card, which will amplify the relationship, thereby actually upgrading the status of the Taiwan issue in the China-US confrontation. This may offer independence seekers in Taiwan some transient opportunities, but may also result in Taiwan being exhausted or hollowed out, bringing continuous instability and economic fluctuation to the island. Compared with the long-term strategic stalemate and exhausting wrangling between China and the U.S., it is absolutely impossible for Taiwan to stand protracted confrontation without hurting its own security and development interests.
To hawkish politicians Taiwan is a card to contain China; to the general public it has not that much to do with national security or their day-to-day interests. Taiwan is not a core U.S. national interest. For its lack of clear strategic insight, the Taiwanese authorities have repeatedly misjudged the situation, which may result in fundamental, long-term damage to their people.
On China's mainland, the Taiwan issue is defined as a core national interest, and there is legislation like the Constitution and National Anti-Secession Law, and the explicit goal of "complete reunification" written in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The U.S. may abandon Taiwan for its own interests, and China will not forsake reunification because of U.S. interference and resistance by independence seekers. In the long term, as long as the Chinese government adheres to the bottom line regarding core national interests, smartly utilizes its own comprehensive strength and international influence, it will ultimately create conditions and atmosphere for full reunification, and accomplish the goal of national reunification. The Pew survey further affirms the U.S.' utilitarian and opportunistic orientation on the Taiwan issue, which is a positive indicator and a signal conducive to China's complete reunification.
The survey data showcases China-U.S differences over Taiwan, and the question is how to make the U.S. understand and respect China's sovereign rights and interests over Taiwan, how to make majority public opinion in the U.S. actually influence and restrain the government's opportunistic position, and thus formulate stable, sustainable China-U.S. relations. An advisable option is to engage in reasonable communication and exert proper management and control over the top three topics of public concern, cultivating security and trust. If the situation with those three concerns deteriorates, the American public may be inclined to understand and support the government's tough position on Taiwan. China needs to properly reduce its holding of U.S. treasury bonds. As to the issue of cyber attacks, China needs to complete corresponding legislation and establish mechanisms for China-U.S. cyber security dialogue and joint law enforcement. When it comes to China's international influences, especially the strategic impact of the "Belt and Road," China needs to enhance philosophical elaboration and explanations for it, and upgrade risk management as well as capabilities for handling debt crises.
Generally speaking, the American public is more concerned about the China-U.S. trade war and their everyday lives than about the Taiwan issue and security issues on China's periphery. Such a pragmatic public opinion is normal. Despite the low attention it receives, the Taiwan issue is universally accepted as a handy chess piece in U.S. foreign policy. Therefore, if China-U.S. trade ties cannot go back to normal, the American public's worries may deepen, their government may attach greater importance to the Taiwan card, and thus public attention and support will rise accordingly.
Since the Taiwanese authorities are too reliant on the U.S.' counterbalancing role, have adopted an "all-round off-shore substitution" strategy against the mainland, failed to appreciate and recognize the "1992 consensus" as the cornerstone of peaceful cross-Straits relations, all the formal official channels for communication across the Taiwan Straits have been cut off, and authorities on the two sides have sunk into "cold confrontation". Taiwan has misunderstood its actual status in core U.S. national interests, and misunderstood the mainland's longstanding dedication to and capacity for fulfilling full national reunification. The Pew survey should serve as a fitting reminder for both the authorities and people in Taiwan that the correct choice is to return to the "1992 consensus", face the ultimate prospect of "complete reunification" with dignity, seek to maximize the interests of Taiwan and its people in the constitutional direction of "one country, two systems," and realize permanent peace and sustainable development for Taiwan.

There is no better way to celebrate fall than with these Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins. Deliciously moist, and fluffy muffins that have a cream cheese topping coming together to make a perfect muffin.
As I am sipping my coffee with pumpkin spice creamer this morning, I am wishing for one of these Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins. They went fast! The combination of the pumpkin and the cream cheese is absolutely amazing. I love everything about fall weather, from the colors of the trees changing to all of the fall-inspired foods. I can pull out my sweaters and hoodies to wear, and fill my house with the scents of pumpkin spices, and cinnamon. It's a no-brainer that I would bake up a batch of pumpkin spice muffins. My house smelled so good!
The muffins are super easy to mix up, and you do so by hand. No dragging out the stand mixer for this one. I used Barlean's Butter Flavored Coconut Oil in this recipe because I wanted that hint of butter and coconut. It made the muffins even better, and by how fast they were gobbled up, everyone here agreed. For this recipe, my best tip is to make sure your cream cheese is softened and at room temperature. This will make it easy to blend together without lumps.
Other Pumpkin recipes you may enjoy can be found here, along with collection of over 50 sweet and savory pumpkin recipes.

Institution : IKA – Institute for Art and Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
Location / Lieu : IKA, Vienna (FR)
Date : 14 Mars 2019
Theme / Thème :
Many students of architecture have seemingly become disillusioned with the notion of being an architect. The classical idea of working in hierarchical office–based practices, continually submitting applications to competitions, and having a career largely de ned from graduation, has somewhat lost its appeal to many young architects of today. This comes at a time, though, when these traditional processes are being challenged, subverted and abandoned for alternatives, internationally and in multiple ways. As we depart from the traditional notion of what architects can create, how they work, with whom they collaborate and what function their way work has, we invite an eclectic range of speakers to discuss their practice and philosophy. In order to deconstruct the architect, architectural education must also be deconstructed, and so, alongside lectures and keynotes, the programme will include workshops and seminars to discuss different approaches addressing the question: What is an architect today?

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
-Hebrews 10:24-25
Life is not meant to be lived alone. All of us need people in our lives to laugh and celebrate with us in the good times, and walk with us in the broken times. That's why we place such a high priority on Life Groups at West Rome.
"It is my hope and desire that you find the opportunity to connect to our church in a meaningful way. We've created Life Groups to be a catalyst to that meaningful connection. I truly believe that Jesus gave us the church to be a people, not just a place."

The Ultmate Figher - One Soldier Left
The episode started things off as usual, recapping the previous fight. Things ended Matt getting a winded victory over .., both fighters barely able to stand. After witnessing the close decision loss, and feeling things should have gone to a third round, Rampage threw a temper tantrum tearing up a flimsy door in the facility.
After the fight the teams head back to the house for some recouperation time so they can work towards the last remaining fight of this round, Team Rampage's Marcus "Big Baby" Jones vs Michael Wessel. While at the house that night, Matt goes straight to bed, not feeling very well. Wes Sims was the lone individual that felt that celebration was in order, not wanting to allow Matt to be the "Party Pooper" decides to check in on him, and go ahead and spray the room down with silly string before allowing him to return to his slumber. From the looks of things, Matt might need more time to recover than the show's schedule is going to allow.
On with the training of both the final participants for the qualifier round, Rampage is looking to push Marcus hard, his last soldier for a Rampage victory. The team wants to get respect back, and Marcus is their only chance. In interviews Marcus details how he is taking advantage of being the final fight, working and learning the entire time leading up to the fight. He is quite confident he can pull out a win.. the win.. Rampage's win.
The next morning Marcus is awaken by a "scorpian-spider-laviathon" creature and screams like a girl. He completely panics, screams of terror, completely immobilized being held captive by the creature. Justen Wren comes to Marcus' aid to kill the spider, but doesn't let him off the hook that easily. Justen teases Big Baby a bit before setting it aside until the rest of the crew is around, at which time the carcass gets thrown on Marcus who jumps up running from the room, cries of terror that can be heard for miles!
Back in his proper mind set, we get some background on Marcus. He speaks of his football background, and confesses that although he was able to get in and get some play time due to his natural physical abilities, he never was engulfed into football the way he is with MMA. He says he is really able to excel because he eats, lives and breathes MMA, 24/7. Even with this, Rampage is seen questioning whether the big giddy puppy has the fighter instinct.
Michael's background and frame of mind is a bit different than Marcus. Michael is here trying for his big shot, sacrificing personal time with his wife during a difficult battle with cancer. He speaks of the daily cards and letters that he sends to help show his support for her, and wishes he could be there for her. This would seem to me to be a pretty large distraction when it comes to proper focus leading up to a fight with a short training schedule.
Michael continues to train hard, and with the game plan wants to stand up and bang with Big Baby, let him feel the thunder. Rashad emphasizes no take-downs, keep it standing and let him feel it. Michael has UFC fight experience which should give him an edge in the fight, as long as he sticks to the strategy. He talks of Marcus being a "massive, massive man" but seems intent on putting that aside to "beat the shit out of him."
In the next round of prankster antics some sketches are posted of Marcus, with various comic-style speech bubbles coming from him, wanting a new coach among other comical remarks. At the bottom of one of the sketches Michael added "sucks balls."
When Marcus finds the sketches on the window in the house, he is less than pleased. Big Baby overreacts a bit to the prank, yelling that what if his family were watching and sees that.. his kids. Most of the house agrees, he's overreacting and needs to learn to take a joke.
It's almost fight time for the week, so we get things rolling by gathering up both teams at the gym to do weigh-ins. You can't bring the groups together without some witty banter amongst the teams, and this opportunity is no exception. Things get started with Rampage and Roy Nelson pulling up their shirts and doing a bellly-slap against each other. This was NOT a pretty sight.
Rampage decide to mess around a bit with "Titties" again, that seems to be the thing to do. At first they were cutting up together and playing around a bit, but when Rampage reached up and grabbed a handful of man-boob, it was clear he had crossed the line. The gloves were off as Titties stared down Rampage, an iminent throw down only avoided by teammates coming to break things up. This was looking pretty serious. The actual weigh-in was quick, Michael weighing in at 260 and Marcus putting up a strong 262.
Now it's fight time, let's get things rolling! Things look like they will start out slow with some feeling out, but Michael goes right after Marcus throwing some strong punches. Marcus is getting hit with a few, but nothing that appears to really be a concern. Once Big Baby gets a feel for the power coming at him, he goes on in with his arms extended to minimize damage, "Mummy Style" as labeled during Rampage's recap, and gets ahold of Michael.
Unable to get some range to throw some shots, Michael goes for a trip. As Marcus starts to fall, he rolls things over so that he lands on top, in a half guard. Eager to get off the ground, Michael decided to give up his back and try to get to his feet quickly. Unfortunately Marcus was too quick, grabbing on to Michael and slowly and loosely going for a rear naked choke. The hold was rather loose, allowing Michael to just roll over into Marcus' full guard.
Things looked to be in a rather safe position for Michael, he should be able to possibly work the ground a bit, or stand things back up. It looks like Michael is doing just this, making an effort to stand up out of the full guard and Marcus flips the leg over and yanks hard into an arm bar. Michael taps almost instantly, appearing to have possibly broken his arm with the snap of Marcus' extension.
Marcus "Big Baby" Jones.. the Last Soldier. Victorious, breaking Team Rampage's cherry and moving to the next round of fights. Team Rashad finishes with a 7-1 record going into the quarter final match-ups.
After interviewing each of the fighters with both coaches and Dana present, it's time for the quarterfinal match-ups to be announced.
Roy v Justin
Brandon v John
James v Matt
Marcus v Darrell
To close out the show, following the match-up announcements, Rashad asks if Team Rampage wants to work with the guys on his team, help everyone out with some good training and making things easier with him having 7 of his 8 fights working towards their own matches. Team Rampage stands strong, led by Kimbo's stance that he is going to support his coach and his team. Once Kimbo speaks, the sheep follow suit.. They'll all help train Marcus and back what little remains of their team.
Looks like Marcus and Team Rampage have a bit of a leg-up for the remainder of the fights as far as training diversity. If this wasn't enough, Dana throws Rampage a bone and lets him pick his fight for the quarterfinals. Marcus might go a bit further than expected when you take this into consideration.
And now we wait for next week...

Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2011
by Denise Richardson
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations." Psalm 33:11 (NKJV)
Have you ever used this reply when asked about your future plans, "Well, nothing's set in stone." This is the equivalent of saying, "Not yet. But I have some ideas." Or "I've started to make arrangements, but there's still a lot to do." This statement could even mean, "I've made some plans, but we'll see what happens." We can formulate our intentions and have a strategy, but to "set them in stone" is another story.
Often, plans being formulated by those in authority are troublesome. Some proposals aren't set in stone. But they are being devised, and it seems they are headed for stone. Our thoughts can be overwhelmed by the upsetting news reports. But turned to the rightful Ruler of the universe, we can find this comfort: "The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect."(Psalm 33:10)
For centuries, man has laid down counsels. He has mapped out intentions. Some propositions he would have called, "set in stone." But history confirms that, though plans are devised and carried out, eventually they are brought to nothing. New counsels form. But they also come and go, are worked out and defeated. In fact, every nation that has ever existed has been involved in this same cycle: plans devised, carried out, eventually foiled.
If the Lord thwarts the plans of nations, defeats counsels, sets up new governments, and puts down others, what about His own intentions? "The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations." (Psalm 33:11) When God made His plans, He set them in stone. And that is where they have been for centuries.
Maybe that's why Jesus said, "See that you are not troubled." (Matthew 24:6)
HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND A WORD OF PRAYER or SOME FORM OF INSPIRATION.

Iran supports Iraq's energy
Iranian Energy Minister Reza Ardkanyan announced that private Iranian companies will participate in the development of the Iraqi electricity grid.
During his meeting with the Iraqi Minister of Electricity, "Loay Al-Khatib," Minister Ardkanyan expressed the hope that this visit will result in the signing of agreements that were discussed last month in Baghdad.
Ardkanyan added that Iran will work to develop its cooperation with Iraq in the field of energy and will benefit from all the energies available in the country in the framework of private sector companies to develop the electricity industry in Iraq and reduce waste of energy and modernization of power plants. Ardkanyan said that he will hold lengthy talks with the Iraqi Minister of Electricity to discuss the possibility of cooperation in the energy market in the region through the development of cooperation with Iraq and other neighboring countries. He pointed out to the signing of the continued export of electricity to Iraq.
In turn, the Iraqi Electricity Minister said that the visit comes at the invitation of the Iranian Minister of Energy to strengthen relations in the field of energy and electricity and economic issues. Khatib explained that one of the important objectives of the visit is to follow up the consensuses and implement the memorandums of understanding that were recently discussed in Iraq.

Nipsey Hussle rapped his Black American Dream into existence. Once touted as a future king of West Coast rap, he accepted a smaller role in the hip-hop hierarchy in exchange for autonomy, allowing him to stay connected to his grassroots. He turned stories of gangbanging into a personal fortune, which he subsequently invested into his own local businesses. He used the tales of his tumultuous personal history to sell black kids in his neighborhood on non-violence, education, and reconstruction, growing from gangbanger to rapper to community leader. In the process, he became an outsider star on his own terms.
"Look at where I started and look at where I'm standing/Y'all can say it's luck, but I know that it's planning," he rapped on 2010's "Bigger Than Life." At the end of the song, he dedicated the song to "everybody out there with a motherfucking dream." After years of working to make his dreams and the dreams of others a reality, Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed in front of his Marathon Clothing store Sunday. He was 33.
Born Ermias Asghedom in Los Angeles on August 15, 1985, Nipsey started rapping when he was 8 and his mandate was to bring truth to light. He was, first and foremost, a Slauson Boy from Crenshaw—a member of the Rollin' 60s Crips who was dedicated to his block and set until the end. "I want niggas to be shocked by the reality of what's going on," he told The FADER in 2011. Cynics think of gangs solely as vehicles for violence, and they can be that, but they can also instill in their members a sense of pride in communities that have otherwise forsaken them. Nipsey found value in his people and in his neighborhood through his gang, a fact that would carry over into his music and, later, his rebuilding initiatives.
At the turn of the decade, Nipsey was at the forefront of a New West movement. His mixtape series, Bullets Ain't Got No Name, had established him as a torchbearer for clear-headed raps, marked by the cold certainties he witnessed along the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard. He signed with Epic in 2008, but after a couple of years in major-label purgatory, he exited the deal and plotted an alternate course. By 2013, with the mixtape Crenshaw, he was already positioning himself as an independent rapper/tycoon. As an artist, comparisons to Snoop Dogg abounded, but where Snoop glided through his odes to Gz and hustlas, Nipsey brought a tautness that felt like a whip.
He stood side-by-side with J. Cole, Big Sean, Jay Rock, and Freddie Gibbs for XXL's 2010 Freshman Class. The magazine dubbed him "Most Determined," and even then he was hell-bent on self-sufficiency. "Snoop ain't never co-signed me, but I know everybody is like, 'That's the next Snoop,'" he said in the interview. "Nah, I'm Nipsey, and I got to work to define myself."
He spent much of his music defining himself—as a West Coast classicist who was never prisoner to the legacies of his forefathers; as a no-nonsense realist whose approach was more survival guide than philosophy; as a thoughtful person puzzling out the problems plaguing his hood in song and deed. As his rapping continued to sharpen, he was becoming known for his entrepreneurial spirit, notably selling CDs of his Crenshaw tape for $100 (JAY-Z bought $10,000 worth).
Jay once rapped, "put me anywhere on God's green Earth, I'll triple my worth," and it always felt like Nipsey Hussle was born with those same ambitious self-starter instincts. Nipsey saw rap as a vehicle through which to forge the future, but he believed the model could be streamlined. "I look at hip-hop and I don't see a vertically integrated brand other than JAY-Z owning Tidal, owning his masters, and owning everything in between it," he told Forbes. Ownership was the bedrock of his aspiration to bring equity to black communities, starting with his own.
Whether espousing Uell Stanley Andersen's self-help tome Three Magic Words: The Key to Power, Peace and Plenty or implying his tapes were worth $1,000, no one seemed to believe in the power of speaking your dreams into reality more than Nipsey. Many of his verses were acts of self-actualization that pushed his ideas out into the universe, and he spent so much of his early career rapping about conditions that sought to oppress those dreams. Though the road to seeing his vision through would be arduous, he refused to be denied. He constantly thought of his journey as a marathon, and the extended metaphor produced a trio of mixtapes—The Marathon, The Marathon Continues, and TMC: X-Tra Laps—that laid the commandments of his work ethic and the basis of his restorative, community-first ethos.
The marathon man's long, steady course paid off when, in 2018, he was finally able to release his debut album, Victory Lap, in partnership with Atlantic. It's his best work: a celebration of everything he'd accomplished to that point and a manifesto of everything he hoped to teach the next generation of Crenshaw kids. Eight years after his Epic deal fell apart, Victory Lap went Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated at the Grammys for Best Rap Album.
In a 2018 conversation with Forbes about being a self-made man, Nipsey put an emphasis on using narratives to rewrite a broken society: "I wanted to redefine the lifestyle and what we view as important. When you hear 'buy back the block' as the narrative, that's powerful. That's a step towards redefining the expectation." For him, buying back the block was more than just a catchy slogan; it was an ongoing operation.
Few rappers were more involved in their communities. He launched a coworking space and business incubator with inner city initiative Vector90. He started a STEM program for Crenshaw kids. He was a community partner on Destination Crenshaw, a mile-long outdoor museum honoring black locals. He walked with Trayvon Martin's parents at a peace event. He refurbished a roller rink. Through his Marathon Store and a partnership with Puma, he made a $10,000 donation to a local elementary school, restoring their basketball court. He spoke at Los Angeles business schools. He was paying it forward at every opportunity.
In a story he wrote for The Player's Tribune called "For the Culture," Nipsey explained why he was so adamant about giving back. "Success ain't about winning, just like losing ain't a sign you're not successful. Real failure is getting knocked down and not rising again," he wrote. "We have an obligation to pass it on, in music and how we live our lives. The work ain't done yet." His death, the result of yet another senseless shooting, in front of a business he owned no less, is a reminder of just how much work there is left to do.
"If you check the stats—the murder rates and incarceration rates in the years I was a teenager in L.A.—none of my peers survived. None of my peers avoided prison," Nipsey told NPR. "Everybody got bullet wounds and felonies and strikes. So to make it out mentally stable and not in prison and not on drugs, that's a win. That's a victory in itself. Then to be in the position I find myself in as an artist and entrepreneur who has respect around the world; that's legendary." But his greatest success wasn't that he made it out. It wasn't that he was a great rapper who sustained a decade-long career after a failed label deal. It wasn't that he got a Grammy nod without compromising or that he built a little empire with his wits as an independent mogul.
His greatest success was that he stayed and nurtured others. He was a Slauson Boy, from Crenshaw, making a better way for all the Slauson boys and girls to come. He was killed there and he will likely be laid to rest there, but his impact is undying. "Run this money marathon til my soles hurt/But no materials could measure what my soul's worth," he rapped on a song called "Fountain of Youth." The work he did to better the neighborhood he held so close will be built upon forever.

Without fail, on certain days, I find myself measuring myself against the giants, those who trod across uncertain landscapes firmly and with certainty, ease. I know I shouldn't, but it has always been my cross, to want more. I'm not sure I can blame my parents for this one, maybe it was their post-depression dreams feed to me with all they believed possible, men reaching for the moon, a culture breaking sexual taboos and racial barriers, and seeing a world rebuild after war. Today I attempt to content myself by focusing on the little stuff. Finding the joy that nature brings. Taking a moment to look up at the blue or remembering to look down, to really see what's here and now.

Daily last summer, on any of those glorious days, I'd open the front door just to stay closer to green. The sugar maple out front was lush with leaves, and even in the rain I leaned out to drink in that verdant hue. Looking ahead, all I envisioned were more luscious moments, more sweet air, and more bird song.
After the last suture was stitched, the mohs surgeon said he was going to cover the incision with glue. This guy is the best. You wait months to be in his surgical chair. And he's funny, so I thought the glue comment might be a joke. But no, his intern told me with his eyes, glue is the next step. And then, as he applied the sticky goo across his handy work, my Dr. broke into another chorus with his favorite group, Supertramp, who had been serenading us during the whole procedure through the portable speakers.
Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along
Walk Yourself Happy
With our move behind us, we are once again able to get out and about and celebrate with autumn in full flame around us. Vermont is abuzz with tourists from near and far, taking in the many vistas, and counting themselves lucky to view the foliage. We are thrilled to be right there on the trail with them as the leaves peak with color while the temperatures are still mild enough to enjoy being outdoors. Whatever may still be on the To-Do list can wait until tomorrow when there is such a glorious afternoon!
Moving Day
Much of our life got boxed up, the rest sent off to Goodwill or the dump or the undecided pile. Since November 2013 we have been on the move, downsizing each of the three times, to this, our first, almost official, tiny house. Plenty of decisions about what we still need or want in our lives. Decisions about what is officially junk or worth selling. Decisions about what can fit and what is functional. Decisions about aesthetics. Decisions made while washing the dishes or doing errands or half in the doorway while leaving for work. Decisions on the fly. Moving day is upon us and decisions rule the day.
Do you ask friends to help you when they volunteer repeatedly? After our first big move, from Inn to apartment, each location with multiple staircases and just too much stuff to bear, we decided that was an imposition we could never ask again; so instead, discovered a local and fabulous company of handy movers who were more than happy to lug our overly packed boxes. Friends are lifesavers worth saving for celebrations and anniversaries and birthdays or to console you through your sorrows, but not to move boxes of books.
Now, a few short days after the big day, we are still unpacking (which is why this is not a proper blog post); but I will share a few preliminary pics to show off the new space. Still arranging and rearranging, thinking about art placement, all the homey touches, but here's a sneak peak!
The house is passive, causing only a minimal footprint, so every interior inch is precious. Of course the expansive view, as many Vermont locals provide, is one that showcases a bright blue sky and shouts of Autumn color. Feeling lucky, feeling blessed, feeling like this will be a wonderful home once we settle in.
Shifting into Routine
School buses tie up the morning commute, meetings fill our afternoons, beach towels are folded into the back of the closet, as we all return to the hustle and bustle of routine. With the warm September temps here in New England, Autumn looms faintly, yet we must begin those chores that need to be completed before the first frost. And naturally, we begin to prepare our internal life too. Time to update your local yoga schedule. And go to a class. Install the Headspace app on your smart phone. And use it today. Plan your evening meal with convenience and health in mind. And eat well, quickly. Yes, it is September after all.
New beginnings open before us each moment, but especially in the Autumn, with golden hues hitting the green, tasseled cow corn tall enough to be harvested, frosty morning air and apple trees laden with fruit: seasonal indicators to prod us forward. The shift from beach chair to classroom comes at the same time. This migration inward is a challenge on every possible level for families across the continent: shuffling schedules, sitting again, waking up to an alarm, sitting again, planning lunches and snacks, sitting again, and how to get all the laundry done? Did I mention sitting again? School sessions are in full swing, for students and teachers alike; together we face those challenges once again.
Thankfully there are bursts of color, everywhere, literally.

A month-long celebration of our culinary delights and tasty beverages kicks off tomorrow in Melbourne. Look.Stop.Taste is all about exploring and discovering the incredible food our city has to offer.
The event, presented by the City of Melbourne, coincides with the recent opening of the State Library's Gusto! A Culinary History of Victoria, an exhibition of 250 items sharing Victoria's culinary heritage.
It's really very easy to get involved. Just head to the State Library and grab a Look.Stop.Taste map, look through the list of 30 participating venues, stop at your chosen destination(s) and taste the dish and accompanying beverage that restaurant has selected to showcase their produce. Think of it as your own personal culinary treasure hunt, with a map to guide you and an appetite to persuade you.
Curator of Look.Stop.Taste, long time Broadsheet food writer Hilary McNevin, says the event is a celebration of all that is delicious, generous and relevant in Melbourne dining right now.
"People can expect delicious flavours from some of our leading restaurants around the city," says McNevin. "They can see and taste Melbourne's culinary present, explore its diversity and hopefully, see how lucky we are!" The selection of participating venues is impressive, as are the dishes they have on offer.
Chin Chin have a chicken dumping and egg drop soup with cabbage, spring onion and white pepper with a Singha beer, Saint Peter's will spoil you with a lasagne di casa and a glass of 08 Chestnut Hill Nabbiolo, while Maha have a chicken tagine, Iranian figs, corn bread and sujoc with a glass of Wanderer Rose, Yarra Valley.
Fancy something sweet? Head to Grossi Florentino Restaurant for a chocolate soufflé with Mt Buffalo hazelnut praline, Bridge Road Brewers ice cream and a glass of All Saints Grand Muscat. And with most dishes coming in at around $20 you can afford to sample more than a few.
These venues are only a small snapshot of what is on offer. Head to the Look.Stop.Taste website to peruse the full listing of restaurants, dishes and when they are available.
"The restaurants were chosen on differing cuisines and also their historical connection to Melbourne," says McNevin. "Businesses chose to be involved for various reasons, but the exhibition excited them and to be a part of something like that was important to all of them."
Look.Stop.Taste is a gastronomic adventure allowing people the opportunity to visit places they enjoy or may have never visited before. Grab yourself a map and let the culinary treasure hunt begin.
Look.Stop.Taste runs from August 18 to September 16.
*Maps for the event are available at the Gusto! Exhibition, participating venues and online.

Healthy Promises Of Personal Care Services
When you have someone to maintain a healthy home environment and who can complement it with accredited nursing care services in Charlotte, NC, you can safely say that your senior loved one is in good hands.
Our personal care promises to bring joy, safety, and convenience to our senior clients so they can always find comfort in their homes.
- Joy: Make A Senior's Home Homier
For seniors who live on their own, making their house homier will surely make it feel more alive and attended to. Fluffing pillows and arranging furniture can enliven their place. Our personal care services in Greensboro, NC includes light housekeeping, which can let a lot of sunshine and fresh air in because these natural elements add a healthy touch to having wellness at home. Bring in some greenery and fresh flowers inside for a naturally decorated home.
- Safety: Help De-Clutter Homes
By creating wellness at home, we are also promoting safety in senior homes so they can have clear floors and reinforced household furniture to keep them safe and away from any undesirable accidents. A loose chair leg can be catastrophic for an aging senior with lower back pains. A wobbly handrail can come loose and cause a fall accident. By assessing the safety and security of their homes, we are able to save lives, one senior at a time.
- Convenience: Keep Sanitation Standards Healthy
Minor house cleaning maintains the functionality and cleanliness of homes. Dust sitting in corners can be dangerous to anyone's health, most especially to seniors who no longer have the strength to do all the cleaning at home on their own. Keeping a check on things that can be thrown out stops critters from building their colonies in the homes of our senior clients. To stay healthy, sanitation standards should also be kept healthy.
When you are in the market for the right health services in Gastonia, NC, make sure to check on your senior loved one's needs so they can be addressed by the healthcare provider.

Key Highlights
- ETH price is attempting an upside move above $290 against the US Dollar, but lacking momentum.
- There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $290 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via SimpleFX).
- The price needs to gain pace above $292 to surpass the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Ethereum price is attempting an upside move against the US Dollar and Bitcoin. ETH/USD needs to gather pace above $292 in order to capitalize further.
Ethereum Price Resistance
There were multiple attempts to break the $287-286 support zone in ETH price against the US Dollar. The price formed a decent support at $286 and started an upside move. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $303.63 high to $285.75 low. Moreover, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $290 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. These are positive signs above $290, but the pair is lacking momentum.
Therefore, any further gains above $292 won't be easy. The most important resistance is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $303.63 high to $285.75 low. The 100 hourly simple moving average is also near $294 to act as a hurdle. There is a chance of another dip in prices towards $290-288 before buyers step in again.
As long as the price is above $287-286, it remains supported. Any dips can be bought above $286, but with caution. A close below the stated support might take the price towards $277. On the upside, buyers need to gain momentum above $292 and $294 to register good gains in the near term.
Hourly MACD – The MACD is almost flat and attempting to settle in the bullish zone.
Hourly RSI – The RSI is just near the 50 level and struggling to gain momentum.
Major Support Level – $286
Major Resistance Level – $294

Being an esthetician and makeup artist isn't just a job; it's my calling. I've always been passionate about making anything in my presence feel beautiful, whether it's through giving makeovers, helping clients resolve skin issues, or just keeping people up to date with the newest trends. I'm a Master Skin Therapist through the Health and Style Institute, and was honored to be awarded "The Graduate" recognition. My expertise is in facials, waxing, and make-up application, and though I love hearing clients say, "Wow! My skin feels and looks great!" at the end of a session, the benefits go far beyond beauty. My mission is to give my clients 100% while we're together, and to help each client bloom. When I'm not at work, you'll find me doing anything artistic, from styling friends to flipping homes to singing and dancing. My husband is my best friend, and our five beautiful children are the best part of me. I am so grateful for each of them, every day.

meet the new colonel
I thought it was brilliant.
Keep your friends close & enemies closer.
In hindsight, though?
Man hires greatest war monger in history, shocked to discover war monger wants to start wars.
wait till he replaces him with henry kissinger
So does this mean #PresidentPAB and Rouhabi will be skipping hand-in-hand through the daisies anytime soon?
In hindsight though what?
Can a hiring be brilliant when the person is ultimately fired and insulted on Twitter?
and put your psycho ex-girlfriend in charge of your social life.
Those are two completely separate issues.
From my pov, he hired him to appease the neocons, and get intel on their "ways", and fired him when he got what he needed.
He can use it to "prove he was draining the swamp" and keep his base, as well as the lifelong dems who oppose war to meet U.S. objectives over diplomacy and trade.
HOW he goes about that and it's aftereffects is speculation best left until mid-November 2020.
Trump Derangement Syndrome cuts both ways.
They had that little talk with him, showed the angle of the Kennedy assassination that only presidents-elect get to see.
He thought "you know, John Bolton doesn't seem like such a bad choice after all"
I don't have tv bro, and particularly don't follow "politics" regarding what Donald Trump does everyday.
This generation has been so intellectually diluted, "news" simply copied MTV's The real world in how they keep attention spans.
In other words, I don't know who's doing what and don't care.
I'm certainly in no position to judge the credibility or sanity of a guy worth a million times me and found his way to the highest office on earth.
Well, holy shit. A lot of Truth is said in jest, but I wasn't expecting to be correct...
Trump Discussed Easing Iran Sanctions, Meeting With Rouhani, Prompting Bolton Pushback
only problem with that being he did everything he could to get Bolton on board from the outset.
naming him as a foreign policy advisor during his campaign, to floating him as Sec of State (until some called bullshit & wouldn't confirm), then deputy SoS (Tillerson refused), later finding a position he didn't need confirmed or approved - Nat Safety Advisor.
I'm not sure he needed much convincing, just the opportunity.
Well I didn't have a back stage pass of course.
Just assuming it went down as usual
no pass needed, he was pretty open about it.
I don't think anyone is (s)elected without already playing ball.
Say @Daglord have you come across our old friend anti-D recently?

Montana Governor Steve Bullock will be on stage at the next Democratic presidential debate.
The Democratic National Committee released the names of the 20 candidates who qualified for the debate Wednesday.
Gov. Bullock is on the list. This is a big win for Bullock's campaign as he was excluded from the first round of debates based on his polling and fundraising numbers.
The two-day debate will be hosted by CNN and held in Detroit on July 30 and 31. CNN will be conducting a drawing on Thursday to see which candidates will debate on which night.
Bullock sent a statement saying:
"I'm excited to add my voice to the next DNC debate in Detroit. We need to have a conversation that isn't detached from the realities people face in their everyday lives — the need for affordable healthcare, quality public schools, and an economy that ensures everyone has a fair shot at success. As the only candidate who has won and governed a Trump state, I'm focused on realistic solutions to the problems we're facing — the first of which is ensuring we are competitive everywhere so we can beat Donald Trump."

Picked from a nearby area famous for some of the best figs in Thessaly and from our own trees there.
The figs are boiled in raw sugar and there is a higher than usual content of large pieces of fruit. In addition to the normal uses of a jam, this fig jam can also be used as a dressing for a green salad if mixed with some olive oil and red wine vinegar. Add a few walnuts and fine slices of a salty mature cheese and you are ready. Ideal for filling chocolate biscuit sandwiches, your children will be happy to make them. If warmed slightly in a pan with a little butter and Gran Marnier it will be a sweet sauce for alternative crepes suzette.
Without preservatives, without glucose, without dyes
After opening, it is kept in the refrigerator

Reptiles invade Govt Girls College in Akwa Ibom
Parents of students of the Federal Government Girls College, Ikot Obio Itong, Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, have criticised the Federal Government over the invasion of the college's dormitory by snakes.
It was learnt that the continued invasion of reptiles in the hostess is due to thick bushes covering the back of the dormitory. Besides, deep holes which are caused by the opening of the ground, are said to have provided habitation for snakes, especially as grasses grow on top of the hostels' roofs.
A parent and member of Parent Teacher Association of the college, Mr. Bassey Eyo, said the deplorable state of infrastructure in the college is a cause for concern.
He revealed that the development was caused by long neglect of the college by the federal government.
Eyo told our correspondent that the situation is so bad that the principal had to vacate her office which had collapsed and had to take refuge in one of the classrooms she converted to her new office.
"Snakes are natural phenomenon here. Where walls have fallen apart, the college is not properly fenced or fumigated; the place becomes havens for reptiles. My daughter and her friends have often times been complaining of invasion of reptiles in the college.
"Since the inception of the college, first as a teachers' training college, for more than 40 years, nothing has been added to reflect its new status as a federal government institution for grooming girls.
"Even in your house, when you allow dilapidation to set in, snakes could find a place to live. Look at the structures, the walls, and the hostess, the ground itself has opened up due to long period of neglect of the college.
"The deplorable state of infrastructure in the college, the dormitory, the staff quarters, the principal office, even some classrooms are in terrible state.
"It is hard to imagine that is where government expects to produce future leaders. I am appealing to all the authorities concerned, the FG, who happens to be the proprietor of the school, Niger Delta Development Commission, and Petroleum Education Trust Fund, to assist," he said.
He stated that parents have done much for the college over the years. He said that the PTA had provided, to a large extent, some facilities like new buildings, adding that there was limit to what the association could do as parents, especially as the school belongs to the FG.
He noted that the FG had done much work to revamp education in the country, asking that the effort should also be extended to the college.
