Trey was born in Florence, South Carolina on January 19th, 1969. His father is Lloyd Lorenz, the director of a local job-training program and his mother Bernice, a history teacher at local Wilson High. Both parents and Trey sang in church. Trey learned to read music through a brief stretch of piano lessons.
During his freshman and sophomore years lending vocals and keyboards to the Players, a Top 40 band whose set list rambled from the Romantics to the Ramones.
When Trey met Mariah Carey, he was in his junior year at Farleigh Dickinson University, majoring in advertising, and he had been in a group called "Squeak & the Deep," but only lasted a short time; Trey says "we were only together for a minute!"
"I met Trey in February 1990," says Carey, "when I was working on my first album. I was recording a song called "There's Got To Be A Way," and one of the backup singers was friends with Trey and had brought him down to the studio for the session. I heard someone singing all the high, top notes with me and I'm like, 'Who is that?' I turned around and it was Trey. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Since then Trey has been touring with Mariah Carey as her backup singer, since her first promotional tour in 1990, for her debut album, 'Mariah Carey.'
Not only touring, Trey has written songs with Mariah and they have become very close friends.
Trey shot to fame in 1992 when sang with Mariah on 'MTV Unplugged.' Trey did his normal back-up singing for Mariah, but on he stepped up to do a duet with Mariah Carey on the song "I'll Be There." Trey displayed his incredible falsetto, soaring to one of the highest notes a male can sing (to see more about this go to the "High Notes, section). The show was turned into a home video and a CD and helped him rise so success.
Soon after Trey signed a record deal with Mariah Carey's then husband, Tommy Matola, under the EPIC Label. He recorded his self-titled debut album 'Trey Lorenz,' and released the CD to critically acclaim. Unfortunately, the album never had good sales and Trey was dropped from EPIC. At one time he recorded another album, but it was never released.
Trey has continued to sing with Mariah Carey. He has co-written songs for Mariah's album and continued to do background vocals. Trey toured with Mariah in 1998, singing "Let's Make This A Night To Remember," with Mariah's other backup singer Melanie Daniels. Trey also toured with Mariah on her "Rainbow Tour," in 1999 and then again in 2003 on the "Charmbraclet Tour," singing "I'll Be There," and leading the background singers in a song called "Friend of Mine."
Trey Lorenz sings backup vocals on Mariah Carey's latest album 'The Emancipation of Mimi.' Trey vocals are featured on four songs: 'Get Your Number,' 'I Wish You Knew,' 'Joy Ride,' & 'Fly Like A Bird.' Trey has been present on the promotional tour for the album. He has appeared singing background vocals at Mariah's concert on Good Morning America. Trey was also featured on the VH1's Save The Music special where he closed out the show singing I'll Be There with Mariah Carey.
In April of 2005, AOL's BlackVoices interviewed Mariah Carey was asked "Will Trey Lorenz or any of your other old friends be signed to your label?" "You know what? Trey is on a lot of songs on the new album. He's like family to me at this point. He's really doing his own thing right now; a lot of writing, and an inspirational project he's working on. So I'm all about supporting him in whatever thing he's working."


From a local tradition to a multinational company
Conceria Lorenzo Chiorino was founded in Biella in 1906. Thanks to its founder’s entrepreneurial skills and comprehensive knowledge of the art of tanning, the company began its industrial production of technical products and transmission belts primarily to meet the needs of the Biella textile industry. At the beginning of the 20th century, leather belts were used to power machinery in all factories. Thanks to the industrial boom under way at that time, Conceria Lorenzo Chiorino experienced a rapid growth and development that led to the expansion of product sales in Italy as well as to an initial approach to foreign markets. Chiorino in-depth research in new leather processing soon led to the development of products for use in sectors other than the textile industry, such as mechanical engineering, saddlery and agriculture.
During the years following the Second World War, leather still prevailed as the preferred choice of material being processed, but as synthetic materials began to gain a foothold, the company made radical changes in its products, processing and clientele.
At the end of the 1950s, the company experienced major changes due to developments in the chemical industry and the breakthrough in petroleum derivative products; plastic materials and synthetic rubber, with their exceptional physical and mechanical performance, gradually began to replace leather and, over the next twenty years, would replace it almost entirely. Using these new materials the company started the production of synthetic conveyor and transmission belts, which required important investments in plants and buildings, as well as a broad diversification of its scientific, technical application and market knowledge.
Since the 1970s, Chiorino conveyor and transmission belts have been essential components for the handling of products in every industrial sector and have become well-known worldwide for their top quality and reliability.
In 1977 the first foreign company was created, known today as Chiorino U.K.
Chiorino expanded and grew into a multinational group.

Chemistry & Biodiversity, 2017
This work presents the biocidal (insecticidal, ixodicidal, nematicidal and phytotoxic) effects and chemical compositions of three essential oils obtained from the industrial steam distillation (IEOs) of hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.), lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia or L. x hybrida var. Super) and cotton lavender (Santolina chamaecyparissus L.). Their chemical composition analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry showed 1,8-cineole (53%) and β-pinene (16%) as the major components of H. officinalis, linalyl acetate (38%) and linalool (29%) of L. x intermedia; and 1,8-cineole (10%) and 8-methylene-3-oxatricyclo[220.127.116.11(2.4)]nonane (8%) in S. chamaecyparissus. The biocidal tests showed that L. x intermedia IEO was the most active against the insect Spodoptera littoralis and toxic to the tick Hyalomma lusitanicum, IEO of H. officinalis was strongly active against S. littoralis, and finally, S. chamaecyparissus IEO was a strong antifeedant against the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi, toxic to H. lusitanicum and with moderate effects against Leptinotarsa decemlineata, S. littoralis and Lolium perenne.

(I'm)perfecting - An Incredibly Short Analyzation of Hayao Miyazaki
This will probably be a relatively short post, but I just wanted to expel some thoughts. I purchased this art book at a Japanese book store in New York City a few months back, and after weeks of setting it aside, I decided to pick it up and look through it. If you didn't know already, I'm a huge Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki fan; so when I discovered that the entire book was filled with commentary from the artist himself on every painting, I was intrigued to say the least. Though oddly enough, I found his commentaries partially confusing. Every piece, he had rarely anything good to say about it. He points out the flaws, or why he wanted to throw it out or thought it was irrational and unnecessary. He was picking his work apart, disregarding all the beauty or fantasy that flowed through them. Any of them could easily be center pieces of a million dollar gallery show, yet he wasn't happy with any of them
It's something I seem to be noticing more and more amongst the creative and inspirational.
It's like no matter the amount of blaring "yes", "good job's", or even money being waved in an artist's face, there's always a lingering, gnawing urge to tell yourself it's incomplete, wrong, or a failure. I wonder if it's this imperfection of being a perfectionist beyond any reasonable sense of it that causes beauty to exist. Yet, the creator itself finds no sense of completeness. It makes me wonder if any artist can simply stop and enjoy the scenery of what they're creating, or do they just see a mirror that shows their imperfections staring hauntingly back at them.
I may have gone a small measure deeper than I first intended with this, but in the wake of a rather discontenting day of trying to sell my craft to the masses, I'm feeling philosophical and weary. It's a curious thing, a wandering mind.

Common law marriages do not require any license or formal ceremony. Instead, they depend on how the couple view the relationship and how they have acted. Typically, it arises in situations where two partners have been living together for some time and have been portraying themselves as married to friends, family, and the community. In places where common law marriages are recognized, both partners usually receive similar benefits to that of a formal marriage.
Common law marriages were legal in Ohio up until 1991. However, under statutory law, Ohio no longer recognizes this form of marriage for any relationship entered into after October 10, 1991. That means that, in modern day, there is only one way to become legally married here in Ohio: obtaining a marriage license from your local probate court.
Common law marriages that came into existence before this date remain valid, but they must meet certain requirements in order to qualify. Most importantly, the relationship can’t have ended through death, divorce, dissolution of marriage, annulment, or through any other judicial proceeding. Individuals must also prove that they are cohabitating, or living together, and that the reputation of their marriage exists. In other words, they must show that themselves and others view their relationship as one that is equal to a marriage. The reputation of marriage is often the hardest factor to prove.
Despite Ohio’s shift away from recognizing common law marriages, this form of a legal relationship is still recognized as a legitimate marriage in some states. In fact, Ohio will still recognize common law marriages in other states or countries where they are permitted.
Schedule a Consultation
If you are trying to figure out your marital rights under a possible common law marriage, it’s recommended that you get an experienced attorney to help prove the existence of such a relationship. Marital status can also affect several other areas of the law, including property rights, debt obligations, child custody, and medical rights. Contact us for a consultation regarding your situation today.

I have a lot to be grateful for. I had an amazing education and am still just about managing to continue with a Masters degree. I have an amazing husband, daughter, and friends around me (although never as much as I’d like). I have food in my belly and a roof over my head (albeit through my parents’ hospitality). I am mostly healthy and live surrounded by beautiful countryside. And at the very least, UKIP didn’t get as much support as they hoped for.
However, this morning I found myself crying onto the kitchen counter, hiding my sadness and anger from my parents, at the thought of another 5 years of a strongly Conservative government. I wonder how my little family will ever move into our own home when child tax credit and the tiny amount of child benefit is cut out of our limited budget. I wonder if our environment and future can cope with increased fracking and lack of ecological priorities. I wonder how my child will cope with higher education fees and whether she will ever have what I loved so much. I wonder how long our precious NHS will last and whether our family will be able to afford an insurance-based system that I fear will come. I wonder how many children and adults will starve on the streets due to higher homelessness, poverty, despite the wonderful work done by food banks across the UK. I wonder if we will ever afford to adopt the children we hoped to, and whether being responsibly will outweigh the wish for Cub to have siblings. I wonder how I am perceived in a country who continue to expect mothers (and fathers) to work despite childcare costs being out of our reach and right-wing (even if more central) politics continuing to assume we are not worth speaking to. I wonder how long I will be able to stay living where I was born, and how happy I will be to return to Scotland, who seem to hold the vulnerable up as their priority. I wonder if I shall ever have a pension, whether I shall be able to support myself in old age, and whether the statistics of poverty and loneliness for the elderly will become my own label. I wonder if I will continue to cry and fear for my families future.
Today I will cry, I will mope, I will feel anger and grieve the potential of a more diverse parliament, and a more representative government, and I will allow my fears to hit me, wash over me, and then, finally, eventually, leave me. I will likely be eating ice cream and playing with my child hoping that either one might cheer me just a little. I will watch movies, and write, and create, and allow myself just one day.
Tomorrow, we start again. Tomorrow we have to fight against the greed and mammon-priority of those in power. Tomorrow we have to call for empathy, assistance, and love for the least of us, for those in trouble, for those struck by poverty, illness, and heartache. Tomorrow we have to cry out for our children’s futures, for the security of the elderly, and for a tolerant community which embraces diversity with simple common decency. Tomorrow we have to stand as a people of outward compassion and generosity, those who will care for our neighbours, the stranger and the foreigner, without suspicion and malice. Tomorrow we must begin again in our attempts to protect the land we inhabit and the creatures we steward. Tomorrow we must take on the challenge, take on the responsibility, and force ourselves back into battle.
Today I will cry for just one day. Tomorrow, we start again.
I think I will start by praying, hoping that God will help us.

Comparison of the risk of drowsiness and sedation between Levocetirizine and Desloratadine: a prescription-event monitoring study in England
Drug Safety, 29, (10), .
Full text not available from this repository.
Background and objectives: Desloratadine and levocetirizine are histamine H1 receptor antagonists (antihistamines) that were launched in the UK in 2001. Our objective was to compare the frequency with which drowsiness and sedation were reported for desloratadine and levocetirizine within the first 30 days of observation, as monitored using the observational cohort technique of prescription-event monitoring (PEM).
Methods: Exposure data were derived from dispensed prescriptions written by primary care physicians and outcome data were derived from questionnaires that were posted to prescribers at least 6 months after the date of the first prescription for each patient. The odds ratio (OR) was calculated using unconditional logistic regression modelling. The effect of age, sex, reported prescribing indication (allergic rhinitis with asthma/wheezing, allergic rhinitis without asthma/wheezing, 'other'), pattern of use and reported previous antihistamine use on the OR was examined. A time-to-event analysis was performed.
Results: The cohorts comprised >24 000 patients in total. Cohort demographics were similar (both cohorts: median age 37 years; 60% women); the most frequently reported prescribing indication for both drugs was allergic rhinitis without asthma/wheezing (54%). The incidence of first reports of drowsiness/sedation for levocetirizine or desloratadine was low (46 [0.37%] and 9 [0.08%], respectively) and statistically different (p < 0.0001). These events tended to occur earlier for desloratadine than levocetirizine (50% at 7 or 14 days of observation, respectively; p = 0.6487), but the cumulative time to event differed, with more events observed for levocetirizine than expected (p < 0.0001; 46 vs 28.09). The final estimates of risk were the sex-adjusted ORs for each prescribing indication category: allergic rhinitis with asthma/wheezing (3.51; 95% CI 0.71, 17.43; n = 3357), allergic rhinitis without asthma/wheezing (6.75; 95% CI 2.37, 19.22; n = 12 627) and 'other' (3.11; 95% CI 0.86, 11.31; n = 6725).
Discussion: Although the reporting rates of drowsiness and sedation are low for both drugs, patients prescribed levocetirizine are more likely to experience drowsiness and sedation in the first month of observation (after starting treatment) than patients prescribed desloratadine. For patients with allergic rhinitis without asthma/wheezing, the sex-adjusted odds of drowsiness/sedation were over six times greater in patients using levocetirizine than desloratadine in the first month of observation, with the OR being statistically significant. For the other two indication categories, allergic rhinitis with asthma/wheezing and 'other', the OR was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Although the risk of drowsiness/sedation is low, conditions such as allergic rhinitis are common, which makes any impact on patient cognitive function important. Doctors should be aware of this when prescribing these products to patients where daytime sedation is undesirable. However, essential components of the comparative benefit-risk evaluation of these two products include assessment of efficacy and patient preference (neither of which forms part of this study).

It appears that warnings from China, Russia, the Fake News Industrial Complex (FNIC), the United Nations, and other leaders from around the world are not going to deter Donald Trump from standing his ground against the plus-sized bully of the Far East.
Over the past few weeks, the FNIC has been driving full force toward convincing a greater portion of the United States that Trump was the actual bully in wolf's clothing and that Kim Jong-un was the poor, little, defenseless, fluffy bunny rabbit who was perched on the lip of the entrance to his warren, ready to defend his entire brood of bunnies against the Mother of All Evil, America.
When the days-on-end of negative press and one story after another enlightening an ignorant American public about the virtuous North Korean people and their brilliance…and art…and music…and culture, it was inevitable that the Right-wing would rear its ugly head and ruin the whole façade. Pretty soon, we were hearing about the death squads, the poisonings, the public executions, the burning of books, the starving of the people, and the volunteering of six-year-olds and up for military pressing.
Now, Russian president Putin can sense the inevitable. Today, in a press conference, he finally reserved himself to the fact that the tyrant from North Korea will not be convinced through sanctions, nor military displays, but would rather “eat grass” than to bow to the will of the international community.
Turn to the next page to read the newest little surprise from the ambassador of North Korea to the UN in Geneva where he has delivered a message directly from his leader to the US regarding nuclear war!
Russia and China can end this whole problem if they wanted to.
Lol the us could end this whole problem
And we already have a wrapped gift for you.
You are so stupid, your mountains,as well as your world will come down on you!
Can you imagine the perpetual Death Zone being in such a tiny country? Nothing like surrendering 1/2 of your Land Mass to Nuclear Contamination and all of your people to their shortened (if that wasn’t a problem already) lifespans. Somebody needs to end the Kim Dynasty very soon. One .22 Bullet is all it should take, not one Soldier has to die over this.
Head shot ! Problem Solved !
Your ready to waste yourself and country
I’m not sure the U.S. wants to either. N.K. is “the reason” for their massive pacific military presence. Without North Korea, the U.S. would have to admit it’s really there for China.
THIS MAN IS A MANIAC.HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.

As many as 17 potential fuel vapor leaks have been found at an Exxon service station that state officials believe is a prime suspect in contaminating at least 127 Fallston-area wells with a noxious gasoline additive.
Spokespeople for the Maryland Department of the Environment and ExxonMobil Corp. sparred yesterday over the significance of the leaks detected by a contractor for the oil company.
MDE spokesman Jeffrey Welsh said preliminary testing late last week of the Upper Crossroads Exxon at Routes 152 and 165 in Harford County identified leaks in the station's gasoline storage tanks, piping and equipment.
Betsy Eaton, ExxonMobil's spokeswoman, characterized the leaks as minor ones that could not have contaminated the groundwater with methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE.
But Welsh said state regulators believe it's possible that one or more of those leaks may have contributed to the widespread groundwater contamination
MTBE is added to gasoline to help it burn more cleanly, but it dissolves easily in water and, through leaking fuel tanks, has contaminated hundreds of wells in Maryland. Its health effects in drinking water are largely unknown, but it can be tasted or smelled at very low levels, making the water unpalatable.
MDE officials have said for weeks that they suspect the station, where MTBE has been detected in well water off and on since 1991, is one of the sources -- if not the main source -- of the MTBE that has tainted residential and commercial wells within a half-mile of the station.
"Until the testing is done, we won't know if this is the main source of the problem," said Welsh. Later, he added, "We believe that they are part of the problem."
The leaks, which were detected by pumping helium into the station's fuel storage system, were repaired before even more sensitive testing began Sunday. That's when Praxair Services Inc. of Tucson, Ariz., injected a tracer chemical into the station's fuel system and began monitoring for seepage into the ground around the tanks and piping.
Exxon's Eaton said the leaks detected with helium are in areas of the fuel system where any gasoline or vapor seepage "are least likely to have gotten into the soil." Among the leaks found with helium were cracks, pinholes or loose gaskets in the equipment that siphons gasoline from the underground storage tanks to gas pumps used by motorists. Those devices sit inside spill basins, which may not capture vapor leaks.
"They have no idea the size of these leaks, these helium leaks," Eaton said of the testing contractor. "It's too early for them to come to any kind of conclusions." She also noted that the fuel tanks were pressurized during the helium test, which may have forced leaks where none had existed before.
The chemical tracer testing, far more sensitive than the standard leak tests required by Maryland environmental regulators, has yet to detect any vapor leaks into the ground, Eaton said, but testing continues. She said it was premature to draw conclusions about the station's culpability for the groundwater contamination until the contractor finishes its work and submits a written report.
Meanwhile, the oil company's spokeswoman acknowledged that some of the water filtration systems supplied to homeowners with tainted wells were defective.
The defects, in nine of 80 carbon filtration systems installed at ExxonMobil's expense, were caught during a routine series of tests conducted before residents were cleared to resume using their water, said Eaton. The oil company fired the contractor that installed the defective systems after learning of the problem Monday, she said.
None of the tests showed levels of MTBE higher than the state's threshold for drinking water of 20 parts per billion, she said.
"Should this have happened? No," Eaton said. "Will we fix it? Absolutely."
Health officials have tried to allay fears about MTBE, saying the levels found in Fallston wells are probably not high enough to do any harm.

Reasons to install bar ends on your mountain bike handlebars, and how to do it. you in a hurry. You need to decide whether bar ends will help you or hurt you.
The most difficult part of all this is finding a bar end weight that will fit your eends. It takes some figuring and web searching until you can find a good match.
That all sounds handle bar ends, of course, but me being me, I went ahead and ordered handle bar ends set or two of handlebar end weights before I had everything measured and figured. Since I had pretty good luck with the Manic Salamander end weights on the Multistrada back inthose were my first choice again. Back at the drawing board, Water slide rentals jacksonville florida then ordered a set of HVMP handlebar end weights…and of course, again without measuring.
The HVMP end weights are truly massive and they have a different type of expander. After doing some searching and exploring, I found Sato Racing.
Handle bar ends, the parts are all made in Japan. The Sato Racing handlebar ends are available in a bunch of different anodized colors, which is cool. As you can see, the Sato Racing ends are times lighter than the others.
When is the last time you saw a set of hand guards on a GSX-R ? I bet those owners are jealous!
My installation was made more complicated than usual because I first handle bar ends to remove the extra handlebar tubing hanging out from the end of the hand grips. Fitting hanndle Sato Racing end caps was easy, because of their size and shape.
I expanded the aluminum collar as much as possible with just enough clearance to nar through the hole in the plug inside tioga bike handlebar.

Hi Adrian, Many anglers are “fished” in buying as many lures as they see.
I fish pretty simple and go by 4-rules:
-early in the season when water is colder and fish are less active I use slower moving lures both in hard-body baits and soft-plastics.
-as water temps warm up I fish faster lures like spoons, body-baits, spinnerbaits, etc.
-if I think fish are feeding I use natural colored lures that look and swim like their food.
-if I thin fish are not feeding then I try and make them strike using erratic swimming lures, bright unnatural colors and lures with rattles.
Fish with a Passion
God bless you,

SUN Monitore Modifikation
Last update: 30-Nov-1998
The following SUN monitors are able to use separate sync (PC-style) as shipped,
no modification necessary.
- 365-1335 New Multisync 20" Premium monitor (Sony Model GDM 20E20)
- 365-1338 New Multisync 17" Premium monitor (Sony Model GDM 17E20)
- 365-1343 New Multisync 17" Entry level monitor
And the good news is
that these monitor use the same pinout as the modified 17" below, so you can
keep your cable that took so long to make.
And even more good news, SUN
now have an adapter cable to use the above monitors with a PC and it is suitable
for the modified 17" below.
The SUN-Express part# of this adapter cable is:
An adapter cable of the reverse kind (PC monitor to a SUN) is also
available, SUN Express # 130-3034.
Converting 17" Sony GDM 17E10 Color Monitor to PC And SUN use
The 17" is a multisync monitor capable of syncing to horizontal
frequencies from 30 kHz to 82 kHz, and vertical 50-150 Hz.
The Sun model uses combined sync on pin 5 of the 13W3 connector. Most
PC graphics boards generate separate hsync and vsync so the monitor
must be modified to use separate sync.
After modification, the monitor will be able to sync either on
composite sync or separate sync, so there will be no problem using it
with a Sun.
Pin 7 of the 13W3 is unused and can be used for connecting vsync by
making an internal modification.
Pin 5 can be used as both csync in or hsync in with no internal
After making the modification to th 17" monitor, make an adaptercable
to connect the 13W3 cable to 15 pin VGA connector. The video inputs on
the 13W3 are labled A1 (red), A2 (green) and A3 (blue).
Male VGA Female 13W3 CN252 Name
1 A1 - Red video in
2 A2 - Green Video in
3 A3 - Blue video in
4 10 10 Ground
6 A1-shield Red video ground
7 A2-shield Green video ground
8 A3-shield Blue video ground
10 10 10 Ground
11 10 10 Ground
13 5 9 Hsync
14 7 8 Vsync
"Beforer and after"
To get Vsync to the 13W3 connector, remove the small PCB at the lower
right backside of the monitor. (the same PCB that holds the mini-DIN
connector at the back), and solder a small wire from CN252 to CN254,
as shown above (leftmost pin of CN254 and 3:rd from the top of CN252
in the pictures).
In case your monitor came with no connector attached, all 10 non-coax
pins from the male 13W3 that should have been atthed end of the cable,
terminates in CN252 on the same little PCB.
The three coaxes should be easy to identify, one red, green and blue
(my green was brown).
Numbered down-up, CN252 is connected to 13W3 like:
CN252 13W3 color (in my monitor)
1 1 brown
2 8 black
3 6 yellow
4 9 green
5 2 red
6 4 orange
7 3 blue
8 7 purple
9 5 white
10 10 grey
So if everything is clear so far, you should have soldered to the
third pin from the top of CN252, pin number 8 (purple), and that is
pin 7 in the 13W3, v-sync.

Lady Sov at Avalon
While we were secretly hoping for some crazy antics, Lady Sovereign was on her game when she hit the stage at Avalon on Friday. She didn’t come out until close to 1AM, but multiple cocktails made the time fly right by. Unfortunately, they also made our camera fly right out of our hands and malfunction. We just got pics from a friendly photag also covering the show.
Avalon’s Club 82 hosted some great DJs who kept the crowd dancing all night. Lady Sov, accompanied by DJ Frampster, only performed for about 15 minutes, but the packed house was captive. Her set included hits “Love Me or Hate Me” and “Random.”
The self-proclaimed “biggest midget in the game,” (she’s about 5 foot) has been compared to Eminem, and it’s not just because she’s a white rapper. It’s because she’s damn good. She knows as much: “The best thing since sliced bread/no Eminem/Feminem? Nah/Lady Sov yeah!” And we love that she’s taken defying-the rapper-stereotype to the next level by being white, female and a Brit.
Absent from her performance was crazy ranting, a’la a recent show in New York where she told the crowd she was broke and battling depression before running off stage. Besides suggesting a mosh pit (a few guys took her up on it, but it was pretty weak), she stuck to the rhymes.

Does it make sense to allow women to be guarded by men? Does it make even more sense that, in many cases, these guards get the benefit of the doubt from authorities and are often unsupervised? That’s what people are starting to question and challenge.
Eleanor J. Bader at Truthout.org writes on the issue, stating that it’s time to examine how our nation deals with female prison inmates and the entire system itself. She notes the massive power imbalance set to occur when men are allowed to guard women and maintain a position of authority.
Allowing male guards to oversee female prisoners is a recipe for trouble, says former political prisoner Laura Whitehorn. Now a frequent lecturer on incarceration policies and social justice, Whitehorn describes a culture in which women are stripped of their power on the most basic level.
“Having male guards sends a message that female prisoners have no right to defend their bodies,” she begins. “Putting women under men in authority makes the power imbalance as stark as it can be, and results in long-lasting repercussions post- release.” Bader and others are speaking about the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) that is set to go before lawmakers soon.
The law is going to be the first in history to address the prison rape problem which affects both men and women. She notes also that between 1980 and 2010, the number of female prisoners shot up by 646 percent. Most of the offenders were non-violent and this number doesn’t include the numbers in local jails or on parole.
The Center for Child and Family Studies at the University of South Carolina corroborates this finding and notes that many teenage girls experienced their first arrest shortly after fleeing abusive homes. “What may be remarkable within this sample is the cumulative impact of cumulative victimization over the life span,” CCFS researchers report. “Many of the women suffered multiple traumas.
They were victimized in multiple ways – child abuse and neglect, adult relationship violence, sexual violence, not to mention the number of times they experienced each type of victimization.” The Center calls it “poly-victimization” and cites women’s efforts to stop aggression or retaliate against an aggressor as a key reason many are behind bars. The researchers also note that a history of sexual abuse typically leads to other problems, including unplanned pregnancies, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, low self-esteem, depression and addiction – issues that can make incarceration exceptionally difficult.

A new documentary will celebrate the 50th anniversary of rock legends The Rolling Stones by looking back on their incredible career.
Crossfire Hurricane is named after the opening lines of 'Jumping Jack Flash', one of their best loved singles.
Director Brett Morgan claims that the film will be “an aural and visual rollercoaster ride”.
“Crossfire Hurricane invites the audience to experience firsthand the Stones' nearly mythical journey from outsiders to rock and roll royalty. This is not an academic history lesson."
As well as exclusive, never before seen footage, Crossfire Hurricane will feature commentary from Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood and former members Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor.
The film will screen in selected cinemas across the UK, and will later appear on BBC2 and American channel HBO.
Billboard have also reported that the band will play shows in November to commemorate the anniversary, with two dates at London's O2 Arena and two at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn.

I thought about that but forgot to mention it.

You can see what cyclinder is loaded and what one isn't. Likewise enthusiasm is hard to present in a written post. Mating seal surfaces are lubricated and cooled by circulated oil.
I just thought I'd offer a different view. The castings are notably free from porosity and internal strains, and display excellent wearing qualities. . Yet, the compressor is either over compressing or the dischage gas is bypassing into the suction and recompressing. I have seen this occur only when a machine was running but not pumping. Cheap parts can become an expensive mistake.

Say thanks to the welders. High discharge temperatures are usually the result of broken discharge valves, leaking internal relief valves, abnormally high suction superheat, or too high of a compression ratio.

Vilter is known for providing innovative industrial applications with a whole line of compressors used for industrial refrigeration as well as gas compression. Bad valves would also raise the discharge temp. But it is interesting dealing with the refrigeration contractor who services our plant. Seal unit assembly consists of two opposed seals — one sealing from the atmosphere and the other from the crank- case. I don't care what the systems doing as long as the two compressors are doing different things. But, you do have to have a higher compression ratio system problem or a compressor problem or an inefficient cyclinder recompression or suction leakage.

The heat of compression is very constant on machines check each head. Do you mean that the suction lines temperatures at the machines are that different? Your guy's can really ball, go Warriors! Maybe after assy if you dont find anything obvious with anyones suggestions a valve test could be carried out. Vilter replacement parts except those too big to box are shipped in boxes that have the Genuine Vilter Part mark right on the box itself. If they are below tolerance over compressed the entire valve assembly could be lifting allowing bypass between the liner and the valve plate. Oil and Gas unloading cylinder covers are different when you look at them closely do not ask how I found this out! This is one we can really get into.
Abnormally high discharge temperature usually result from broken discharge valves, high suction superheat, or leaky internal relief valves.

As soon as the Madinaty Ramadan TV commercial was broadcast this year, we couldn’t keep up with the comments, memes and videos that mocked the ad all over social media, with viewers accusing it of being a 3-minute wealth-flaunting video.
The ad basically features Madinaty community members, each stating a “fact” about the compound. Viewers thought the most frustrating element in the entire ad was the people’s quotes, where one said, “All the people here are like each other”, while another said, “here we understand the meaning of privacy…we don’t need to get out of Madinaty often…even the cinema here is better”, among others.
People also accused the ad of classicism and discrimination towards the rest of the Egyptian population. Although the majority of the comments received on the ad were negative, there were people who defended the ad, saying that it’s a fact that Madinaty isn’t affordable and that some viewers were just being dramatic.
This is the second time Madinaty’s Ramadan ad receives so much backlash. Last year, the Syrian superstar Assala sang the ad’s song, and people made hundreds of memes, ridiculing the idea of the ad and the exaggerated way it was sung.

Our thyroid gland is essential to our overall health. It secretes two hormones which influence metabolism within all our cells by regulating the speed at which they work. So, it’s unsurprising that thyroid problems can have a knock-on effect, sending many other parts of the body out of whack and leaving us feeling pretty rubbish.
Check Your Micronutrients!
Many dietary and lifestyle factors can lead to dysregulation. Thyroid function is also highly dependent on a variety of nutrients. Poor nutritional status is a root cause of thyroid dysfunction.
Our thyroid does not get out of sorts for no reason!
Be aware that not every supplement, product or food marketed as something that will ‘support thyroid health’ may be your friend. In fact, the wrong products can actually cause trouble.
Understanding what your body’s specific needs are is key!
And knowing what you, as an individual, are deficient in can help you supply yourself, including your thyroid, with everything you need to function optimally and thrive!
Here are 4 of the most important micronutrients for thyroid health.
We should avoid having too much as well as too little of them!
- Iodine (adult RDA = 140 μg/day)
Currently its only known role in the body, iodine is used in the production of thyroid hormones.
Hypothyroidism can develop if you are deficient in iodine, and it is the most common cause worldwide. Mild to moderate deficiency, however, can result in the thyroid overcompensating, leading to goitre and hyperthyroidism.
But excessive iodine intake can lead to hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Like with so many things in the body, it’s about balance and moderation.
- Selenium (female adult RDA = 60 μg/day, male adult RDA = 75 μg/day)
Selenium is critical for the catalysis of three different iodine-based enzymes for the activation and deactivation of thyroid hormones, and it protects the thyroid from oxidative stress.
- Zinc (female adult RDA = 7 mg/day, male adult RDA = 9.5 mg/day)
Zinc interacts with thyroid hormones, with key roles in regulating them.
- Iron (adult female RDA (under 50) = 14.8 mg, adult female RDA (over 50) = 8.7 mg/day, adult male RDA = 8.7 mg/day)
Iron is used to activate the thyroid hormone. Deficiency is associated with thyroid dysfunction. People with low iron can present especially with hypothyroidism, but also hyperthyroidism.
Check Your Stress Levels!
Our thyroid and adrenal glands work together to supply our bodies with the right balance of particular hormones. There is a delicate balance between our thyroid and the stress hormone, cortisol, so thyroid symptoms may increase when we encounter stress, and the balance is disturbed.
Check Your Gut Health!
Our overall gut health influences the absorption of all the key nutrients for thyroid function!
Our gut microbiome influences the absorption of key nutrients, including minerals like iodine, selenium, zinc, and iron for our thyroid gland.
Interestingly, studies have found that many people with thyroid disease also have celiac disease, and celiac disease has been associated with a 4-fold increased risk of hypothyroidism.

Jim Hendry was desperate for a first baseman in the winter of 2010, which is why he seemingly overpaid to sign Carlos Pena to a 1-year, $10 million deal.
Although Pena’s individual results in 2011 were not disastrous, it did little to keep Mike Quade from running the team into the wood chipper.
Flash forward to Friday where the Rangers made a similar desperate move by inking Lance Berkman to a 1-year, $10 million deal.
The Rangers have suffered Texas-sized heartbreak this winter. They’ve lost Josh Hamilton, Mike Napoli and Michael Young while struggling to keep up with those pesky Angels.
So it’s reasonable to wonder if that’s why the Rangers are suddenly in favor of offering up 10-large to an injury-riddled DH who needed to be coaxed out of retiring?
For certain it puts a new shine on Pena’s old deal with Chicago. His offensive numbers in 2011 were clearly not worthy of $10M alone, but Pena did provide the Cubs with Gold Glove defense and much needed clubhouse leadership during a trying season.
It’s hard to imagine Berkman, four years older than Pena, can be of the same value for the same price as Pena was to the Cubs.
Granted the Rangers are in much better shape than those 2011 Cubs were, but it’s safe to say Berkman’s far from a Gold Glover and fair to assume he’s not going to be the same hitter he was just two years ago during his All Star season in St. Louis, which many seem to forget…was two years ago!
If the Rangers fall short of expectations next season, which presumably is a division title, no one will point to the Berkman signing as the team’s shortcoming. Instead, it will be the many moves that led to Berkman’s signing, just as it was with Hendry when he signed an over-priced first baseman to the Cubs.
2011: 33 years old, 1-year, $10 million
153-games, .225/.357/.462 – OPS+123
28 HR, 80 RBI…101 walks set franchise record for 1B
Gold Glove defense, clubhouse leader
Magical season of 2011 including postseason:
177-games .295/.408/.533, 33 HR, 105 RBI
*Then 2012 season…
32-games, 81 at-bats, 2 HR, 7 RBI
Plagued by left calf and a a torn meniscus in right knee
Is he worth $10 million?
Remember the number 700. It’s likely the minimum number of runs scored the Cubs need to reach to make the postseason.
In 2011 Chicago managed 654 runs scored, good for eighth place in the 16 team NL, but only fourth best in their own division.
The world champion Cardinals, meanwhile, led the NL with 762 runs scored–108 more runs than Chicago.
Playoff contenders Arizona (No.4), Milwaukee (No.5) & Philadelphia (No.7) all finished in the top 10 spots.
Although the Cubs did as well, there’s a sizable gap in this department compared to the Phillies who finished one spot higher.
Trade rumors for the Cubs have been relatively quite since early last week.
Not even the Cubs Convention stirred the pot, with the excessive fanfare coming and going with barely a peep about possible trades including Matt Garza, Alfonso Soriano or others. But that doesn’t mean I’m without suspicions.
Change didn’t go down the way I thought it would for Chicago at the Winter Meetings. But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen eventually.
It could begin as early as this week with Pujols no longer a distraction and Epstein and Hoyer having spent three solid days in Dallas spinning their wheels on potential deals.
The lone trade by Chicago last week, Tyler Colvin for infielder Ian Stewart, appears to have put to rest the Cubs’ opening at third base. Now the focus remains on solidifying the opening at first base beginning with Prince Fielder.
While the Cubs believe they can sign Fielder with a ‘creative’ contract, I suspect his asking price will remain too high for serious consideration.
Not to mention, with plenty of suitors available, it only takes one team to go all ‘Angels’ on us and offer Fielder his desired seven-years, mega-dollars and the moon.
If that’s the case, however, the Cubs are still in a strong position to land another quality first baseman starting in-house with Carlos Pena–who I’m on the record as saying I’d love to see back with Chicago next season.
Why not bring Carlos Pena back to the North Side for the 2012 season?
He’s not the long-term answer, of course, but Pena, 33, has expressed a desire to return, and the Cubs hardly have an internal option to replace him.
It’s clear Theo & Company are building towards the future, but also strongly emphasize the importance of keeping the Cubs somewhat respectable for the upcoming season. That’s where Pena presents value on several fronts.
In the ‘New Cubs Way,’ Team Theo Epstein is focusing on ‘winning players,’ guys who work pitch counts and solid defenders. Pena exemplifies all three.
A few Cubs notes heading into the season’s final series this week in San Diego.
-Chicago has three players with 25 or more HR this year including Carlos Pena (28), Aramis Ramirez (25) & Alfonso Soriano (25).
Milwaukee is the only other club in the NL to match the same feat with Prince Fielder (35), Ryan Braun (33) & Corey Hart (25).
The last time the Cubs reached this same mark was 2004 when four players hit 25 or more HR: Moises Alou (39), Aramis (36), Sammy Sosa (35) & Derrek Lee (32).
Carlos Pena is showing no signs of slowing down during the Cubs’ final 12 regular season games.
In fact, since August 3rd he’s hitting .278 with 13 doubles, 2 triples, 8 HR and 26 RBI.
On Thursday Pena crushed a monstrous 461-foot HR off Homer Bailey in the first and later drew a walk to finish his evening 1-for-4 with 2 RBI.
Ten hits over his last seven games, including the last four, has helped raise his batting average to .233, its highest since hitting .237 in early May.
His OBP is more than 100-points higher (.357) than his average thanks to his 90 walks, 16 coming over his last 13 games, which is by far the best mark on the Cubs and third best overall in the NL.
Despite the fact Pena got off to a slow start offensively, going homerless over his first 25 games, he’s put together another strong season since his first long ball on May 3 in L.A. From that game on Pena’s hitting .246 with 28 HR and 73 RBI. Not too shabby.
Pena’s offensive numbers, in addition to his leadership and Gold Glove fielding, should give him an opportunity to return to the Cubs next season.
He may not be the popular choice this offseason, but he’s certainly not the worst option at first base, either.
With eight weeks to go the race for the NL Central flag is now a two horse chase between Milwaukee and St. Louis.
The Brewers and Cardinals have separated themselves from the pack due in large part to the Cubs’ seven-game winning streak vs. divisional opponents.
With Chicago’s four game sweep at Pittsburgh, the Pirates have fallen flat losing nine straight while dropping 9.0 games back of Milwaukee.
The Cubs’ spoiler streak continued Saturday having won the first two of three vs. Cincinnati, all but eliminating the defending champ’s run at a repeat. The Reds have lost three straight and trail the Brewers by 9.5 games.
Chicago has six game left against both front runners. Who knew the division ran through Chicago?
For the third time this week Carlos Pena drew a bases loaded walk. Not exactly what you’re looking for in a run producer, but getting the runner home should stand for something.
For all that’s made about Pena’s .224 average, his on-base percentage is 120 points higher than his batting average.
Pena has drawn a walk in nine of his last 10 games, and 14 of his last 18 contests.
He also leads the club in HR (21) and walks (67)–good for third best in the NL.
Maybe keeping Pena at the trade deadline wasn’t so bad after all?
Pillow Fight of the Year

-The Astros are coming off its first series win since mid-June–taking
2 of 3 at home against Washington.
-Houston swept Chicago earlier this season at Wrigley.
-The Stros’ hit .336 and drove in 22 runs during the series sweep.
-Carlos Zambrano is (15-8) all-time vs. Houston. He throws Friday.
-The Astros have won 9 of of its last 11 games at Wrigley Field.
-The Cubs have yet to win three in a row all season.
