Full Moon in Scorpio, April 29th, 2018 ~ Increasing Momentum
Full Moon in Scorpio, April 29th, 2018 ~ Increasing Momentum
This Full Moon in Scorpio is also called a Pink Moon, after the pink Spring flowers that grow and bloom in the United States and Canada. The Full Moon is on April 29th, 2018 at 9:58pm ADT.
Full Moons activates (all moments do) DEEPLY the subconscious emotions as energetic charges, to be released, through love. ALL moments of self-love, as in choosing when possible, what feels best, in a compassionate way towards oneself is self-love.
It is not mustering up a feeling. More like doing what is best. Choosing what is best. Being compassionate with yourself and accepting the moment and oneself EXACTLY as it is.
This really shows up during the Full Moon. Of course each person is activated differently, based on their current energetic frequency, blueprint and plan. Similar to perfume, one person may love a perfume and another dislike it. Each persons chemistry and memories connected to smells, impacts how one feels about a perfume.
So for some of you this may be the greatest Full Moon ever, where success and changes unfold before your eyes. To others it may feel the opposite.
Same Full Moon ~ varying impacts unique to each person.
One thing definitely a Full Moon will do, if anything within you is NOT in Harmony related to the previous New Moon (April 15th, 2018) intentions, it will come up.
The subconscious holds the energetic charges of memories from this life and past lives (taking place) to be released and brought to your conscious awareness when you are ready.
This Full Moon impact will last to the Next New Moon on May 15th, 2018.
The Momentum I mentioned is one that is ongoing eternally. YET on Earth in form we are transforming into our Ascended Being selves that already exist, yet become CONSCIOUSLY unified in the New Earth.
Again, the subconscious becoming conscious takes place fully when one is in harmony and loves oneself without judgment, therefore dissolving all energetic charges within the DNA related to fear.
Fear is the energetic charge that feels like separation.
LOVE is the state of Being that feels unified and limitless.
This state of love BEING no longer holds fear frequencies (fight or flight) within ones cellular consciousness.
The Momentum of Love, even if there appears to be 4 steps forward, 2 steps back, so to speak, is a continuous momentum HELD in your BLUEPRINT which contains all frequencies in all dimensions and throughout perceived time of all of your CONNECTED existences. Even if one is not yet conscious of this.
The present moment is the zero point field of LOVE through your heart space, as functioning as the eternal momentum of the Divine YOU.
Accessing this PORTAL NOW, you become aligned with this ever-present ever lasting momentum WHICH IS THE DIVINE YOU.
Stay present in your Heart Space. Trust everything is unfolding according to your Life Plan because it is.
Love yourself gently as you go through this process, of becoming Your Ascended Divine Self in form consciously in the New Earth.
Welcome every moment as if it is your first.
Love each day as the New Beginning it is.
Every Moment, every change in seasons. Every New Moon or Full Moon.
Trust the process the MOMENTUM.
Next thing you know, in ONE MOMENT.
You will BE living completely in the moment through your heart.
Living the Life beyond your Wildest DREAMS.
Being the DIVINE ONE ~ You have been waiting to Live As BEING.
And so IT IS, In love, joy and Glory, momentum forevermore.

Last week, I pulled out my dad's 8mm projector so that I could show my kids some old home movies (although I guess I should call it my projector since my dad's not here anymore). There were so many to choose from, I decided that we would watch the ones labeled "Disney World" since we're taking a trip there in a few months.
We settled into my sons' room to watch the film. I had hung a white sheet down from the top bunk of the bunk beds so that we had something to project the film on. As the film rolled, my kids were somewhat fascinated by the images that were projected on the sheet before them. The only sound that they heard, other than their own laughter, was the sound of the chuck-a chuck-a chuck-a of the projector as it whirled around and around, displaying images from nearly forty years ago.
In its infancy, Disney World looked different than it does today and the people in the images looked different too. As I watched images of myself, my brother, and others in my family roll across the screen/sheet, I began to smile as I remembered spending evenings with my mom, dad, and brother watching these same images so many years before. We would laugh and joke about what we saw and enjoy time together. Dad was always the one who would load the camera, forbidding anyone else from touching it. He was the keeper of the films, so to speak.
As my family sat on the floor taking in all of the images flashing before them, I was struck by a stunning realization: I was now the keeper of the films, I was in charge, the torch had been passed. I found myself reacting to my kids in a similar fashion to the way that my father had reacted to me and my brother when we were their age. I found myself so consumed with the responsibility of feeding the film into the projector, of being careful with the fragile film, of making sure that the presentation was as clear as possible and that everyone was paying attention. Yes, the torch had been passed.
When I go through certain holidays now, I fondly recall memories of yesterday, when my mom and dad were both still around. I remember the traditions that we celebrated, some of which have been passed on and others which were put away like the boxes of ornaments after the Christmas tree's been taken down. Now, it's my responsibility to pass on the torch. Whether I liked it or not, the torch has been passed to me, it doesn't matter that I think it was passed prematurely. It doesn't matter that I wish Dad could still do all of these things. It doesn't matter that I can't get back yesterday. What matters is that there is still today and possibly tomorrow.
I remember Dad cutting the turkey on Christmas. He would use the electric knife that my mother had been preserving in the box in which it had come, keeping it just like new like so many in her generation. I remember how carefully and delicately he would slice that turkey. Now it's my turn, the knife's in my hands and I'm the one who gets to cut the turkey, I'm the one who gets to let my kids see just how to do it. I might not do it the same way, and I might not even do it in such a way that Dad would approve if he were still here, but it's my way and it's my turn to pay it forward, to pass it on.
In this day and age when kids are consumed with things that flash and beep, things that shoot and use WiFi, there is something lost every day among the things that used to be. Somehow, we need to pass the torch, we need to carry on traditions. Some of them will stick, others won't. We can't be so consumed with what's being passed on so much as the process of passing. Teaching kids to fish with a hook and a worm. Helping them ride their bike without training wheels. Setting up a sprinkler in the yard on a sweltering hot day. Teaching them how to watch movies that are as old as their dad.
When we take time to do these things, we make memories. They might not like everything that they learn, they'll wade through it all themselves, but what a privilege to share it together with your kids. After all, they won't stay kids forever.

Sneak veggies into pasta
Maren Winter/Shutterstock
Eating well doesn't have to mean switching up your entire diet. Small changes can have a big impact, without sacrificing taste, flavor, or the foods you love. For example, go ahead and eat that plate of pasta—you won't even remember these healthy special ingredients. "A great menu makeover item is spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, replacing half the meat in the sauce with more vegetables such as mushrooms, or adding mushrooms and lentils," says Laura Moore, RD, director of the dietetic internship program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Public Health. You can also use whole-wheat pasta and even pastas made from chickpeas or beans. This method, she says, adds protein and fiber which keeps you satisfied, but reduces the saturated fat. "Alternatively, if you purchase your sauce, buy low-sugar sauce and add pureed carrots," she says, which is a healthier way to add sweetness. Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDE, author of Belly Fat Diet for Dummies, has another suggestion: Simply chop up a tomato and add it to pre-made sauce for added fiber and volume. Bonus for busy families: A recent Australian study showed that eating three to four servings of veggies a day can reduce stress levels. Here are 30 more healthy eating tips that will change your life!
Make over meatloaf and other comfort foods
If "healthy eating" sounds like you won't be able to indulge, try making some easy swaps to get more nutrients out of your comfort foods. For meatloaf, an easy change is the addition of ground turkey, according to Jeanne Piga-Plunkett, RD, co-director of the dietetic internship program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Public Health. "This can decrease the fat and maintain the mouthfeel that so many enjoy when eating meatloaf," she says. Plus, "adding oatmeal that's been soaked in water or milk in place of breadcrumbs increases the fiber," Moore says. Try incorporating veggies, mushrooms, or lentils here as well, with a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to maintain the savory taste. If you're ready to go meatless, a study from the University of Minnesota showed that bean-based meatloaf was just as filling and satisfying as a beef-based one. But even if you're not willing to go that far, any amount of veggies can be added to just about any comfort food to up the nutrient value: grilled cheese, casseroles, burgers, and mac and cheese are great places to hide them. Find out the 10 comfort foods professional chefs always cook at home.

We thoroughly enjoyed this and it was quick and easy to make. Will make often during the summer as it has a refreshing taste that's different from the usual slaw salads.
May 24, 2018
I just made this coleslaw for a neighbor that came home from the hospital. It was quick and easy to make and had a wonderful color. I only used 4 green onions and added about 1 tablespoon of sugar as we like our coleslaw on the sweet side. I also loved the nice crunch and nutty flavor from the sunflower seeds. All in all ..... a GREAT recipe for those summer picnics..... or anytime you want a quick crunchy slaw. Five stars for sure....

This was a nice change from regular coleslaw. I did use the already shredded coleslaw bagged mix to save some time. Really enjoyed the recipe!!

The much-anticipated fourth book in Lisa Kleypas' Ravenels series now has a cover.
And it's AWFUL!
This series is set in the 1870s. *1870s*, not at the 2017 Academy Awards!
The covers have been getting progressively worse and more modern as the series has gone on. It's a terrible way to market books set in the Victorian era. Anybody who doesn't recognise Kleypas' name won't pick this up if they're looking for a historical romance.
Anyway, I am really looking forward to this book. The blurb is below the cover.
A woman who defies her time
Dr Garrett Gibson, the only female physician in England, is as daring and independent as any man—why not take her pleasures like one? Yet she has never been tempted to embark on an affair, until now. Ethan Ransom, a former detective for Scotland Yard, is as gallant as he is secretive, a rumoured assassin whose true loyalties are a mystery. For one exhilarating night, they give in to their potent attraction before becoming strangers again.
A man who breaks every rule
As a Ravenel by-blow spurned by his father, Ethan has little interest in polite society, yet he is captivated by the bold and beautiful Garrett. Despite their vow to resist each other after that sublime night, she is soon drawn into his most dangerous assignment yet. When the mission goes wrong, it will take all of Garrett's skill and courage to save him. As they face the menace of a treacherous government plot, Ethan is willing to take any risk for the love of the most extraordinary woman he's ever known.

Hurricane Sandy bore down on much of the East Coast this week causing great destruction in her path. For all of our clients who have been directly affected by the storm, SchoolDude would like for you to know that we're keeping you in our thoughts.
As you begin the clean-up process we want to remind you that you have a powerful tool to help track, organize, and report your school's storm damage. Through MaintenanceDirect you can create a purpose code titled "Storm Damage" by clicking on "Add" from the Actions bar and then "Purpose". As damage reports trickle in and work orders are created for these repairs, the purpose code "Storm Damage" can be applied to each request.
Once the clean-up process wraps up, through MaintenanceDirect you'll be able to pull all the information needed to provide to insurance agencies, FEMA, and for state aid.
The two most valuable reports to generate when clean-up is complete are the Work Order Summary Report 2 and Transaction Detail Report. The Work Order Summary Report 2 is a great snapshot of each request including: description, days aged, labor hours, and total cost. The Transaction Detail Report will provide you with both a breakout and grand total of labor and material costs while providing a snapshot of each individual transaction, the work order it was associated with, a brief description of the work, etc.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about efficiently tracking or reporting Hurricane Sandy storm damage, please do not hesitate to contact our Legendary Client Service Center at 877-883-8337 or by email, email@example.com.

Wife and mom are my two most important titles. I'm a Dietitian by training and like to call myself a Battle Strategist because I firmly believe that we are all warriors! I want us to be empowered warriors with the good energy and health needed to fight our daily battles. We can do this Warrior Moms! We have an important job to do!
September 2019
Back to Blog
You Are A Warrior!
You may not currently feel this way but you are a Warrior! It's there. It's who you are meant to be. The daily struggles we face are a battle. And it feels like a battle doesn't it?!? With "bullets" whizzing by us in the form of work demands, the stress of raising kids in a scary world and all the pressure from our current society. The burden of trying to see ahead to help your family navigate and avoid the hidden bombs that blow up and destroy everything. All the while, trying to keep a smile on your face, and upbeat attitude and create beautiful family memories. It is exhausting!!
As a Warrior, we want to feel strong, courageous, in control, confident and satisfied instead of we feel exactly the opposite. Take a look at this list of how we want to feel vs. how we really feel. Which ones on this list can you relate to??
How we want to Feel vs. How we really Feel
Strong —————Weak
Courageous ————-Fearful
In Control—————Helpless
Strategic -—————Scattered
Thriving—————Declining & barely Surviving
Relaxed & able to Enjoy the Moment—————Stressed out
Fulfilled—————Disappointed & Incomplete
These true feelings are typically hidden by a mask held firmly in place. Our feelings of inadequacy spill over to our family and every aspect of our life. We crave real friendships but feel estranged from others. We truly want to cherish the moments in life but disregard the time and wish it away.
As a fellow warrior, I will tell you that your health will either equip and empower you for the battles that you face…..Or your health will defeat and completely destroy you! I want us to be empowered warriors! With the energy and the good health needed to fight these battles! Life is short! It's time to identify the obstacles that have been holding you back!
What you need is a battle strategist. Someone to help you identify the obstacles and navigate the minefield. I have exactly what you are looking for! As a Wellness Empowerment Coach, Dietitian and fellow Warrior Mom; I will equip you, educate you, empower you and encourage you so you can live your best health and fight the battles that you face daily!

I started a blog… once. I have no idea where it is. I think it might have been called something like "Mommy Has Left the Building," which tells you more about my frame of mind at the time than anything else. My kids were little–most likely an infant and a toddler. Most of you get that, and I probably don't have to explain anything else. Thank goodness the days of actual privacy in the shower are back again, as my kids are now in the 5th and 7th grades. Though I can't say I don't miss their little munchkin faces with cheeks I just wanted to kiss or their sweet little voices, especially when they invariably agreed with everything Mommy and Daddy said. Days long gone for sure, but the love just grows and grows as the days roll by.
Back in those days, I remember reluctantly cancelling my decade-long subscription to The New Yorker. Who had time to read; especially a magazine whose pages I needed to read at leisure, with full concentration?! And it came once a week! I was soon drowning in issues and I called to stop the madness only to save my sanity (though anybody with wee ones knows sanity hangs by a mere thread at any point of time, waiting simply for little fingers with nails that need cutting to clip it accidentally).
But that, as S.E. Hinton would say, was then and this is now. While I haven't quite bitten the bullet on restarting The New Yorker, I have started reading again in the last few years and I've become quite the voracious reader. I'm like the guy at the end of The Twilight Zone–you know, the last human left on Earth who finally (finally!) gets time to read and is surrounded by books, only to break his last pair of glasses. Except that my glasses are intact and I'm not quite the last Earthling standing. But I am surrounded by books. And it feels like I've come home.
So, I did start that blog once, and obviously abandoned it. (I imagine the Internet would be a pretty scary place if it was actually physical–think of all of those long hallways opening up on deserted rooms. Somebody might have cleaned the room first, perhaps even put up a picture or moved in a desk, but then it was abandoned and left to layers and layers of dust). But I'm a writer and the creative spark never died inside me, even when I ignored it for long, denying who and what I am in my soul in exchange for jobs that paid me to be and do something other than what came naturally to me.
Thought still a slave to the almighty dollar, I'm striving to stoke that spark into a flame. I've been asked often enough whether I have a blog, to showcase my work. Well, I do now. I might post thoughts, story ideas, snippets of stories in progress, things that I find amusing, or observations. It all factors into my writing. And now that I take those uninterrupted showers, I'm able to hear myself think and ask "What if?" and say "I wonder", and the ideas and words pour forth in trickles and in torrents. So bring your galoshes: You never know what you'll find here.

Scientists have developed a pioneering new technique that could generate enough electricity to power an entire home – all by using solar panels that are much smaller than current models.
A team of experts from the University of Exeter has discovered an innovative way for generating photovoltaic (PV) energy – or ways in which to convert light into power.
The new technique relies on 'funneling' the sun's energy more efficiently directly into power cells, such as solar panels or batteries.
While current solar cells are able to convert around 20% of the energy received from the sun, the new technique has the potential to convert around 60% of it by funneling the energy more efficiently.Continue reading

Children's Bible Program – Level 3: Lesson 5 "Satan's Rebellion"
Author: Janth English
Read Together: Lucifer was created by God as a powerful archangel with great responsibilities. However, he allowed pride and vanity to pervert his thoughts and actions. Lucifer began to believe that he knew better than God and that his way of competition and get was better than God's way of cooperation and love. He devised a plan to try to overthrow God. He convinced about one-third of the angels to rebel with him to take over God's throne. Lucifer wanted God's job! Of course, the created being was not more powerful than his Creator. God threw Lucifer and his angels back to the earth. God names things what they are, so when he rebelled, God changed Lucifer's name to Satan, which means adversary or enemy, and Satan's angels He called demons.
Read Together: Isa. 14:12–14; Ezek. 28:15–17; Luke 10:18; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Rev. 12:7–9; 20:1–3,10.
- Help your child to prove that the law existed before Moses. Have them read 1 John 3:4 KJV and 2 Peter 2:4 and guide them in their conclusions.
- Explain that we have nothing to fear from Satan because God is in charge and Satan can do nothing to us without God's permission.
- Explain that everyone will be given a chance to be in God's family and that only those who willfully reject God will be burned up in the lake of fire (Mal. 4:1, 3). No human being will spend eternity burning in hell fire.
Review memorization:
Hebrews 1:13–14 "But to which of the angels has He ever said: 'Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool?' Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who will inherit salvation?"

What is my warranty?
All replacement parts are covered for 1 year from the date of purchase. The integrity of the firebox itself is covered for 3 years from the purchase date. Some dealers may sell extended warranties. You will need to contact your dealer for assistance if you have purchased one and are outside of the US Stove coverage time frame.
Can I burn corn in my pellet stove?
No, you cannot burn corn in your pellet stove. The pellet stove was designed and tested for wood pellets only. Burning corn in your stove will void your warranty and may create a safety hazard or cause damage to your stove. You should only burn premium hard wood pellets in your pellet stove. The only exception to this rule is if your stove is specially equipped to burn corn like the 6041 Series stoves. These stoves come with an agitator and a special burn pot to allow them to burn corn and other bio-fuels.
What are the slides in the back wall or in the bottom of the firebox for?
They are clean-outs for the ash build up. These should be cleaned out AT LEAST every burning season or for every ton of pellets burned. You should check them periodically to ensure there's not a lot of ash build-up. This will greatly affect the performance of your pellet/corn stove!
Do I need a Fresh Air Kit?
This will depend on how air tight the home/building is. If it is very air tight, negative pressure can form and interfere with the proper functioning of the stove. If the unit is installed in a mobile/manufactured home, the fresh air kit is REQUIRED!

Natural plant extract kills termites
A simple wooden fence post has led Australian scientists to discover a native plant extract that repels and kills termites.
Scientists from the University of Western Sydney (UWS) and Southern Cross University (SCU) were asked to investigate why the single fence post in a Queensland field still stood after all the others had been devoured by termites.
They found that the post, made of false sandalwood (Eremophila mitchellii), had properties termites hated.
UWS Associate Professor Robert Spooner-Hart and his colleagues have spent the past year experimenting with the tree's sap.
The tests showed sap extracts repelled and killed the common termite.
"A number of the untreated control stakes had fallen over, totally eaten through, while other stakes, although still standing, had also been eaten," Assoc Prof Spooner-Hart said.
"However, not a single stake treated with the extract - even those treated with the lowest concentration - had been eaten."
The researchers have isolated the chemical component unpleasant to termites and are trying to replicate it.
Assoc Prof Spooner-Hart said the extract could be used as a barrier under homes, in direct application to the pests, or injected into wood.
The breakthrough could revolutionise the building and pest control industries and potentially save millions of dollars spent protecting homes from termites, Assoc Prof Spooner-Hart said.
It could also end the use of poisons and chemicals to treat houses and pine products, he said.
Currently, the only chemical termite killer is chlorpyrifos - a nerve poison that also affects humans and other animals.
Copper chrome arsenate, used to treat pine products, has been banned from areas such as children's playgrounds because of the health risks.
The research is in partnership with BioProspect Ltd, which hopes to make a product containing the anti-termite properties of the sap.
More testing of the extract is being done, including its effectiveness on the giant termite, found in the Australian tropics.
Assoc Prof Spooner-Hart said this would be the litmus test to ascertain the strength of the extract, and whether it could be used on other termite species around the world.

Color is one of the only things in life that I am a perfectionist about. I cannot stand a poor color choice, and I won't buy something, no matter how nice it is, unless the color works for me. (This drives my husband crazy! Color is the LAST thing he considers.) Because I love color so much, I love finding out what Pantone's Color of the Year will be. I'm sure you have heard by now, but Pantone's color for 2014 is Radiant Orchid. It is a color that surprised a lot of people, and although I've already seen it showing up in stores, you might not have much in your closet yet. I thought it would be fun to suggest a few easy ways to start wearing Radiant Orchid this year.
Radiant Orchid is similar to lavender, but as you can see in the image above, there are many shades of the color, which I think makes it much easier to wear. The first way that I have been wearing it is on my nails. This drugstore polish is a brighter shade of Radiant Orchid. I love the pop of color on my nails during this dreary month!
Wet 'n' Wild Megalast- 208B Through the Grapevine
Another fun way to wear this color is in your accessories. Our leather earrings from ONE little BELT are an awesome way to add some color and fun to more than one outfit. I wear mine all the time and get so many compliments.
I've compiled a selection of great Radiant Orchid pieces below. If you are feeling bold, go for the purple lip or the Converse. I usually stick to nude lips, but I could see myself trying out a purple shade this spring. If you are on the fence, stick with a scarf or a cute watch.
This family of purple/orchid colors goes great with so many other fun colors. I think you could pair Radiant Orchid with coral, red, navy, white, mint green, teal, and yellow. It really is easier than you think to add this color, and you can find a shade that works for all complexions!
So what do you think of this year's color? Love it? Hate it? Meh?

For immediate release
Craft-Bamboo Racing got off to a positive start to the inaugural Suzuka 10 Hour race weekend. Despite not having raced at the Japanese circuit before, the all-star line-up consisting of Porsche factory drivers Laurens Vanthoor (BEL), Kévin Estre (FRA) and Porsche young gun, Mathieu Jaminet (FRA) were consistently fast in the unofficial practice sessions on Thursday.
The momentum was carried on into Friday, with the #991 Porsche 911 GT3 R showing good pace and topping the timesheets in the Free Practice 1. The team then continued to work on improving the car; displaying its adaptability in hot and cool conditions by finishing P5 in Free Practice 2, which ran mostly in the dark.
Kévin Estre (FRA) - Driver
"Overall a very positive day getting the laps in and experiencing the car on this amazing circuit. Tyre degradation was quite high but I believe all the other teams faced the same problem. Looking forward to the weekend ahead!"
Mathieu Jaminet (FRA) - Driver
"It was a good day and we improved the car session by session. Running at night was cool, especially on this fast and crazy circuit! The car had good balance in hot and cool conditions, and I'm confident for qualifying tomorrow (Saturday)."
Laurens Vanthoor (BEL) - Driver
"It was really good to have experienced the car in all conditions, although we had a few issues with balance initially, it was more or less solved with changes to the setup and we showed good pace. Should be competitive for qualifying and the race."
Darryl O'Young – Team Director
"So far the team has worked well together and we had a really strong day. Having raced earlier in the year together at Bathurst helps, and the drivers are used to how the team works now and that is important for endurance racing. The team are encouraged by our pace in practice and we are well prepared for a good qualifying on Saturday and race on Sunday."
Craft-Bamboo Racing shows potential for a strong result and will be pushing hard to maximise all aspects of performance from not only the car, but the drivers and the engineers as well. The team's experience of the Suzuka circuit and endurance racing provides a good foundation to tackle the gruelling 10 hour race.
Qualifying begins at 1300 on Saturday, 25/8/2018
Race begins at 1000 on Sunday, 26/8/2018
All times in JST (GMT +9)

The awesomeness that is Ben 10 Alien Force bursts forth from this disc onto your TV screen and then right into your brain's pleasure centers. Have I mentioned lately how much I enjoy this show?
Fifteen-year-old Ben Tennyson (Yuri Lowenthal, Naruto) wields the Omnitrix, a device that allows him to transform into any one of ten super-powered alien creatures. With his energy-manipulating cousin Gwen (Ashley Johnson, Phenom) and his metal-absorbing miscreant pal Kevin (Greg Cipes, Teen Titans), Ben fights against a sinister threat known as the Highbreed.
Kevin whipped up this episode list while working in the garage:
• "Pet Project"
Ship, the Upgrade-style alien adopted as a pet by Ben's romantic interest Julie, is in jeopardy when side villains the Forever Knights show up hoping to use the little guy for their own sinister purposes.
• "Grounded"
Ben's secret is out after his parents catch him transforming into Swampfire. He's grounded, leaving Kevin to investigate the Highbreed's latest scheme on his own.
• "Voided"
Ben is drawn into the Null Void, a monster-filled alternate dimension used as a prison by alien bounty hunters. There, Ben encounters numerous familiar faces, both friend and foe.
• Inside Man"
A man escapes from a Highbreed hideout, pursued by DNAliens, the Highbreed's foot soldiers. Ben and company hope to learn what secrets he knows while protecting him from danger.
First, the stats: These four episodes are middle section of the second season of Ben 10 Alien Force, which follows the four seasons of the original Ben 10.
By this point, the story arc is picking up steam and rapidly charging toward the big final confrontation with the Highbreed, which I'm sure we'll see in the eventual Volume 6 DVD. The bad news is that this is not the place for first-timers to jump in. The good news is that these four episodes are filled with big payoffs for fans who've followed Ben and company's adventures all this time.
The latter two episodes are the big one-two punch on this set. "Voided" is a total mind-blower, with not one but several big revelations regarding the show's mythology. All these stunners are packed into a tale also filled with a slew of over-the-top monster battles, and a new at how life in the Null Void isn't quite what Ben expected. It's another great example of sci-fi that's more interested in outlandish ideas and developing a sense of wonder than it is in long-winded techno-babble. "Inside Man," meanwhile, reveals a lot more about the Highbreed and the DNAliens, leading to a surprisingly emotional conclusion for the episode's "guest star."
"Pet Project" with its emphasis on supporting characters like Julie, Ship, and the Forever Knights, doesn't appear at first to be connected to the overall story, but it's notable for some great humor, such as Ship's latest "trick" for Julie, and a well-timed Monty Python reference. It's also a visually rich episode, as the animators really cut loose when showing off everything Ship can do. In "Grounded," Ben's rarely-seen and mostly-clueless parents get their moment in the spotlight. When they learn Ben's secret, it leads to a lot of great character moments and back story for them and Ben. Coming clean with his mom and dad takes Ben out of his comfort zone in a way a gigantic two-headed monster never could.
The visuals on this DVD are superb. The colors jump right off the screen, and the blacks are deep and rich. The Null Void scenes are standouts, with all kinds of colors and lighting effects for the animators to play with. The sound is of equal quality, with dialogue, effects and score coming through excellently. The only extra is a sneak preview of Ben's second live action made-for-TV adventure, Ben 10 Alien Swarm.
As much as I enjoyed these episodes, they don't reduce the sting of only getting four per disc instead of a complete season set. Also, the back cover contains a pretty huge spoiler, so be wary if you're going into this one blind.
As it readies for the big finale, Ben 10 Alien Force is at the top of its game with these episodes. Volume 5 contains everything that makes the show so much fun—big action, big laughs, and big surprises.

Hello, my favourite people!
Just to let you know that the blog is being super weird. I try to upload pictures for you beautiful kids to see but it comes out all blurry! I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that I'm giving the blog a facelift and moving it over to WordPress….
So just thought I'd let you know, until I get it to sort it's shit out, I won't be able to update you on my adventures! Hopefully it will get done in the next few days – Fingers crossed!
In the meantime, you can keep up with me on my Instagram. You know, if you want….
OR I've just found how to make my Snapchat public, so add me! – BiancaBridges
Lots of love!

I was about to complement my mom recently in how perseverant she was with our family over the years. It's one of the reasons why our family is successful. Without her perseverance, I definitely wouldn't have many of the opportunities I have now along with my Dad's hard work — have never seen someone work harder in my life. These two are a testament at what two people who were never a match from the beginning and even up until now can do in an English speaking country without strong English skills.
More about how great these two are later, but I thought it was interesting how language is changing with the Internet. Originally I type in "preserverance" into Google to find that Google doesn't give me it's normal:
message it normally gives you when you type in misspellings. So, when many people who normally go to Google instead of Dictionary.com for definitions or even spellings for the word may continue to believe it's spelled preserverance. To be frank, the search engine even thinks it's spelled this way instead of what the dictionary tells us which is "perseverance." I even typed in "perseversance" which you can see there's an 's' towards the end where it shouldn't be an a bunch of results come up. Not only do 851 web pages on the Internet spell it "perseversance", but 15,200 webpages tell us that the word is spelled with an 'r' before the 'e.' I'm sure I could type in a number of more permutations and possibly get more results instead of the "Did you mean [fill in word here] reply" back from google.com. I just wonder if we'll grow to simply have more spelling errors due to Google's algorithm for search or we'll just have many forms of English moving forward.
What do you think?
I decided to have some perseverance on the different permutations of the word available on google and got:
- 1780 instances of "persevereance"
- 2970 web pages out there with "presevereance" as the correct spelling of the word (with the suggestion here fortunately)
- 228,000 examples of "perseverence" as the correct spelling

Tuna Hash With Dill
Ben S.
Ingredientsservings 388
- Adjust
- Metric
Directions{{model.addEditText}} Print
- Heat 2 Tbs. oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion and tuna as directed above. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion and tuna; cook, stirring often, until golden brown. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and toss with remaining oil. Transfer tuna mixture to a bowl and reserve.
- Add potatoes to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, fresh dill and 2 Tbs. of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp.)
- Return reserved tuna mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.

A hit with the whole family!
I thought is was pretty good. though a bit dry.
I was skeptical about this but it actually turned out really good. The mustard/ketchip/dill works surprisingly well with the tuna (I found I had to mix up more than the recipe called for though)...
not worth the trouble to make or clean up :(
This recipe has potential but needs serious revision with hashbrown tips such as using a potato ricer, use a well seasoned cast iron skillet, using lard or shortening instead of oil, etc. I was ...
We loved it! I added cut carrots to the potato mixture and a few shakes of turmeric to the onions. After warming everything back up in the skillet I tossed it all in a bowl and added the ketchup...

Horizon Team Rallies During UPS Strike
The Challenge: Meeting our customers' needs with efficiency and speed depends upon consistent, daily shipments to and from Horizon and our customers' offices. Shipments can vary widely, but Horizon must be ready to accept and act upon them as they are received. On one day, a HUD office assigned over 20 boxes of FHA case binders for Technical Review. The problem was that UPS workers were on strike, and the company could only agree to pick up two boxes per day for 10 days, rather than 20 on one day, a situation which would have kept Horizon from meeting its customer's deadlines. While Horizon has working relationships with other carriers, they could not handle the overload either.
The Horizon Solution: Horizon is not a company that retreats from a challenge. Long before it became a catch-phrase, Horizon had the mantra, "We can do it." So, by way of trains, planes and rental vehicles, Horizon's management team traveled personally to HUD offices, picked up case binders, placed them on airline cargo services and brought them to headquarters for processing. We continued this procedure for the duration of the strike, working around the clock to meet our customers' on-time delivery.
The Results: When the UPS strike ended, Horizon was on time with customer deliveries of processed work. What could have been a disaster resulting in a huge backlog to catch up on, was an on-time success instead. And all the folks with mortgage and refinance applications were none the wiser.

On March 15, 2019, Talimco LLC, a registered investment adviser, and its former COO, Rodgers, were charged with manipulating the auction of a commercial real estate asset. One client's asset was raided in a bid rigging scheme to sell the asset to a private affiliated client.
The asset was a commercial real estate asset sold in an alleged bidding process.
Talimco and Rogers owed its selling client a fiduciary duty to take steps to use its best efforts to maximize the price obtained for the asset. Rather than searching for competitive arms length offers, Rogers purportedly used the firm's successful affiliated fund client for one bid, then convinced two other bidders to participate in the auction (who were actually shills who would underbid).
The rigging of the process caused Talimco's private fund client to be the highest bidder. Tamlico's private fund then re-sold the asset at a profit. Talimco and Rogers's rigging of the auction deprived the selling client of his right to an arm's length auction and highest possible price.
"By rigging the auction, Talimco and Rogers failed to fulfill their fiduciary duty to their client," as stated by the SEC.
The settled orders stated that Talimco and Rogers violated Section 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act. Talimco consented to a cease-and-desist order, a censure, disgorgement of its fees of $74,000 plus prejudgment interest of $8,758.80 and a penalty of $325,000. Rogers consented to a cease-and-desist order, a 12-month industry suspension, and a $65,000 fine.

Facility managers are under increasing pressure to provide a reliable, stable supply of electricity under a wide range of operating conditions. Systems and processes have steadily grown less tolerant of power disturbances. What once might have been considered to be little more than a minor inconvenience, today could result in major disruptions and losses to the facility and its occupants.
The problem for facility managers is that in spite of their best efforts, power disturbances will occur. While some may be the result of problems within the facility itself, most are due to events that are outside of the facility and therefore beyond the control of the facility manager. Faults in the utility's distribution system, voltage spikes, voltage sags, brownouts, and blackouts can all cause interference or interruption in service.
Facility managers have multiple tools at their disposal when looking for ways to improve the reliability of their electrical power system. For large facilities with critical operations, redundant electrical supplies offer one level of protection. Battery powered units with built-in inverters can offer short-term protection for smaller loads. But for most applications, the most commonly applied means of improving the reliability of a facility's electrical supply is the backup generator. And for those facilities with loads that cannot tolerate even a momentary loss of power, or that require a clean, stable source of power, there is the UPS system.
Often overlooked in the push to install these items is the necessary supporting switchgear that ensures that the systems will function properly when needed. Equally overlooked are the requirements that these systems and components have for ongoing maintenance. Improved power reliability is not the result of a one-time investment. Improved reliability comes only as a result of an ongoing effort.
It is important to note the some facilities, such as health care facilities, have specific requirements for power reliability systems that must be followed.
Backup Generator
The natural gas, propane, or diesel generator is the most widely used alternative source of power in facilities today. Its ability to provide continuous power as long as it has a supply of fuel makes it well-suited for providing both long- and short-term backup power.
Most generator-based systems are designed to automatically provide power to designated loads in the event of an interruption in service. When power is lost, the generator automatically starts. Once the generator comes up to speed, a switch automatically transfers the load from utility power to the output of the generator. Depending on the size of the generator, this transfer typically takes place in 30 seconds or less. Once utility company power is restored, the load is transferred back and the generator shuts down.
While generator systems are very reliable, they are not maintenance-free. If the systems are to perform as needed, when needed, they must have regularly scheduled maintenance.
One of the most important maintenance tasks that can be performed with generator-based systems is the regular exercising of the entire system. Once each week or two, depending on the size of the generator and the nature of the loads it must supply, generators should be started and run for at least 30 minutes. To fully test the entire system, the generators should be run under load — ideally the load that it would normally power. By operating the system under load for 30 minutes, the generator is tested along with its starting system, cooling system, and all switchgear required to supply power to the loads.
In addition to the program of regular exercising, there are a number of other routine maintenance tasks that must be performed. The batteries used to start the generator should be checked monthly. Each time the generator is run or exercised, the fuel supply should be inspected to determine how much is present and to ensure that it is free of contamination. Additionally, the generator's cooling and exhaust systems should be inspected once each month.
The UPS System
While generators offer long-term protection in the event of an interruption of service, they cannot offer protection against many of the common faults in power systems. That level of protection can be achieved only with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). While there are several different configurations for UPS systems, the most commonly used is the online system.
The online UPS has three major components: a charger/rectifier, storage batteries and a power inverter. Incoming alternating current from the utility company enters the charger/rectifier where it is converted to direct current. This direct current charges the batteries and supplies power to the inverter which converts the direct current back to alternating current. In systems designed to power loads during extended outages, a generator is typically connected to the batteries.
The UPS system offers the advantage of supplying power to the loads continuously, no matter what happens to the utility power. But the benefits of the UPS go beyond its ability to continuously supply power. The process of taking alternating current from the utility and converting it to direct current, then back to alternating current, eliminates practically all power disturbances, including transients, noise, and voltage fluctuations.
UPS systems, like generators, are only as reliable as the maintenance that is performed on them. For example, most systems use lead acid batteries to supply power during service interruptions and while the generator is getting up to speed. These batteries require regular inspections to ensure that all cable connections are free of corrosion and are properly torqued. Electrolyte level within the batteries must be kept at the proper height to prevent damage to the batteries. Batteries must also be tested every six months to check for capacity loss.
Other components in the UPS system require less maintenance, but still should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure that they are free of dust that might result in overheating and that all connections are properly torqued.
The electrical switchgear that connects the backup generator or the UPS system to the facility's loads forms the backbone of the power system. With the UPS system, the loads are connected to distribution panels that are wired to the output of the system. Loads in generator-based systems are connected to distribution panels that are wired to an automatic transfer switch. Utility power is normally connected to the loads through the transfer switch. When utility power is interrupted and the generator is producing power, the switch automatically transfers the load to the output of the generator. When utility power is restored, the switch automatically transfers the load back to the utility.
Electrical switchgear typically is a long-life, low-maintenance item. Because it is reliable and does not require much maintenance, it is the most overlooked component in the system. A malfunction in the switchgear, however, can prevent an otherwise perfectly operating system from coming online. Additionally, malfunctions within the switchgear can result in damage to the switchgear itself.
Most damage to electrical switchgear is caused by a combination of water, dust, high humidity levels and vibration. Moisture and dust combine to form an insulating layer on surfaces, reducing heat transfer from the components and increasing component operating temperatures. Similarly, moisture and dust coat components, restricting their movement and causing excessive wear. Vibrations can cause terminations to come loose.
At least once each year, all switches, disconnects, and circuit breakers should be exercised to verify that they are not binding. At the same time, all contacts and connections within the system should be inspected for pitting, discoloration and tightness.
Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Backup power systems are very reliable, and good maintenance practices can keep them that way for a long time. And while the systems may be fully automatic, they do require some careful planning during installation and once the systems become operational.
For example, during a prolonged power outage, it will be necessary to arrange for fuel deliveries for propane gas and diesel generators. Contracts with suppliers should be set up ahead of time with guaranteed delivery schedules. If a facility manager waits until the generator is already running to figure out how fuel is going to be supplied to the unit, maintenance personnel may be forced to shuttle fuel in five gallon cans, a practice that is unsafe and unreliable.
Care must be taken when planning the location of a backup power system. Generators are noisy units that create vibrations and give off exhaust fumes. Units must be located in such a way that they do not interfere with operations, yet are fairly close to the facility's power distribution panels so that they can be tied in relatively easily.
UPS systems also must be carefully sited. These systems and their batteries generate large quantities of heat under normal operation. Without adequate ventilation, a buildup of heat will shorten the lives of the batteries and other components. Good ventilation is also required to prevent a buildup of hydrogen gas, which is a normal byproduct of the battery charging process.
In addition, it's important to make certain that all required loads are properly connected to the system. Over time, power requirements within the facility change. New loads are added while old ones are removed or relocated. At least once each year, the facility should be reviewed for backup power requirements. Failing to do so may result in a perfectly operating backup power system that is not connected to the required loads.
Power outages can occur at any time. As a result, personnel who are most familiar with how to operate and monitor the backup power system may not be on-site at the time of the outage. Therefore it is essential to have well written procedures detailing what should be done in the event of an outage. These procedures must cover everything from what to do if the system does not start to how to monitor the health of the system while it is operating.

text: "PAPKA" is a constructed photography magazine documenting how we see and consume art. Think about it, we always consume images depending on how they're dictated to us. Image's don't sit on a conveyor belt for us to pick out. Instead we exist at the centre of a storm where images are thrown towards us by the winds of dictation from varying directions. I created a contemporary photography magazine filled with fictional personas and the images that they create. Does it matters that our art is simulated from an endlessly radiating synthesis of art. If or when we find out that the artists inside are fictional, does it change our reactions to the work as art regardless?
