We got to this spot and that's when fire crusted this ridge to the west of us. We could hear the roar and then it just, it seemed like that black smoke just burst into flames. And we had a wall of flames as high as we could see into the air and just pretty much just filled your vision. It was coming fast enough that we didn't feel that we could outrun it and that if we delayed any further that we were at risk of not being able to get into our shelters. I yelled get your shelters out and they pulled their shelters out of their packs and they had them in their hands and they had taken them out of the plastic bags and they were running with them in their hands. We knew that that fire was going to be honest in seconds. Crew representative Dave Latour and 10 members of the Perryville State Corrections Crew were entrapped on the dude fire near Pace in Arizona in June 1990. Dave and four others survived the entrapment. Six of his coworkers perished in the fire. The fire shelter has been required equipment for wildland firefighters since the 1970s. Since that time shelters have saved hundreds of lives and prevented hundreds of serious burn injuries. If entrapped in a wildfire shelters are used to provide some protection from the fire's heat and smoke. A new generation of fire shelter now offers improved protection from both radiant and convective heat. This video will help you learn how to use this new shelter. What you see in the video may be familiar to you because much of the guidance for using the new shelter is unchanged. Stories related by firefighters who survived entrapments using the old shelter can still help firefighters learn how to use the new shelter. First let's review the two most important types of heat a fire shelter might encounter. Radiant heat travels through space without heating the space itself. It turns into heat when it contacts a cooler surface. When you stand in the sun the sun's radiant heat warms your skin and when you stand near a campfire you feel radiant heat from the flames. Convective heat requires air movement. Think of it as a blast of hot air. When flames or gases move past a surface the hot air molecules transfer their heat to that surface. Hotter air and faster air movement lead to greater convective heating. The new fire shelter traps breathable air and reflects radiant heat. Its shape allows you to lie face down on the ground. This protects the underside of your body and allows you to breathe the cooler air next to the ground. The new shelter has two layers. The outer layer is aluminum foil laminated to woven silica. The aluminum reflects radiant heat and the silica slows heat's passage to the inside of the shelter. An inner layer of aluminum laminated to fiberglass prevents heat from re-radiating to the person inside the shelter. When these layers are sewn together an air gap is created that offers further insulation. The outer foil reflects about 95% of the radiant heat that reaches it. Only 5% is absorbed into the shelter material so the temperature of the material rises slowly. But convective heat is rapidly absorbed into the shelter material. If the temperature of the material reaches 500 degrees Fahrenheit the glue that bonds the foil and fabric starts to break down. The layers can separate allowing the foil to be torn by turbulent winds. Without the foil the shelter loses most of its ability to reflect radiant heat. The silica material will slow heat transfer but the shelter offers less protection than it would if the foil were still in place. The new shelter provides significantly better protection in convective heat but flame contact reduces the protection it can provide. The right side of my shelter delaminated and the foil flipped over onto the left side. There was still a tremendous amount of radiant heat coming off the surrounding area and a wind blew the shelter half back onto the other side back to where it belonged.  The radiant heat difference with just that little piece of foil made was absolutely amazing.  If entrapment seems likely try first to escape. You should always know the location of your safety zones and escape routes. Right below the safety zone, our safety zone, the hard black. Remember, in a true safety zone you do not need your shelter to protect you from heat and smoke. Carrying a fire shelter should never be considered an alternative to safe firefighting. If you are considering or are asked to take on a risky assignment because you have a fire shelter it is your obligation to insist that the plans be changed. The new fire shelter is still a last resort and cannot guarantee your survival. Your highest priority in an entrapment is to protect your lungs and airways. Most firefighters who perish in fires die from heat damaged airways, not external burns. One breath of hot gases can damage your lungs and lead to suffocation. If entrapment is imminent you must quickly decide if you have time to escape. You will have to recognize when using your shelter is your only option. Watch for deployment areas as you move. If you can't reach a safety zone don't pass through an effective deployment area only to get caught in a more hazardous area. If you are supervising others give clear instructions and make sure they're understood. Time is critical during escape. As soon as you realize your escape may be compromised drop your gear.  Firefighters have died carrying their gear while trying to escape a fire. You can move up to 30% faster without your gear. This can easily mean the difference between life and death. Drop Fusees. They are the most dangerous items you carry. They ignite at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature common in escape conditions. Fusees burn initially at 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. This can quickly be fatal to a person inside a shelter. Shedding your pack can make it easier to deploy your shelter. Shelters can snag on field packs during deployment, especially in windy conditions. If you have a face and neck shroud use it, but remember it won't protect your airways from hot gases. The properties that make an effective deployment site have not changed. You must still find a site in which heat, especially flame contact, is minimized. Practice evaluating deployment sites so that you can recognize them quickly under stress. Identify effective sites whenever you are on the fire line so you know where they are before you need one. Let's rate some potential deployment sites. This is a chimney.  Saddles also funnel heat. They are also dangerous places to deploy. A wide stream bed like this can work, but narrow ones like this can funnel hot gases. A road crossing a slope can be effective because the flames rise upwards from the slope and tend to miss the road itself. Don't deploy in the middle of the road if there is a possibility that vehicles may be passing. Large rock slides can be effective places to deploy, but you must stay away from brush and trees and from fuels scattered in the rocks. It can be difficult to seal the edges of the shelter in large jumbled rocks. But rock slides sometimes offer the largest area free of fuels and may be the best option for deployment. Short sparse grass like this can work because the flames would be of low intensity and would pass quickly. But taller grass like this can produce large flames that can quickly damage a shelter. Any concentration of fuel should be avoided, whether it's a pile of slash or a collection of firefighter packs or supplies. Thick timber or brush should be avoided since flame contact is likely in these areas. Objects such as large rocks, dozers or even structures can act as barriers to heat. But if the objects themselves ignite, you may have to move. Testing shows that flames can funnel underneath vehicles that are in their path. Don't deploy under your vehicle. Don't deploy in an area where rocks or logs could roll on you, or snags could fall on you. A bench or a ridge top like this are recommended because the flames and hot gases tend to rise above them. Fire intensity usually drops when fire reaches a ridge. But be alert for the possibility of the fire spotting and running up the lee side of the ridge. A large natural or man-made opening can be a good deployment site, depending on its size and the behavior of the fire. Burned out areas work well too, as long as they are truly black. If an area can re-burn, it may not serve well as a deployment site. The area must be cool. Areas with light fuels can cool within minutes after burning, while areas of heavy fuels can remain hot for hours. Your fire shelter must be immediately accessible. Carry it in a fire shelter case positioned either vertically at your side or horizontally under your pack. The shelter may also be carried in the horizontal fire shelter pouch that is a feature of some field packs or in a chest harness preferred by some operators of engines and heavy equipment. Never carry your fire shelter inside the main body of your field pack.  If you are not with a crew, you must rely on your own judgment. If you are entrapped, do not delay your deployment. Prepare for the worst. After removing your shelter from its case, throw your pack and any flammable objects, such as fuses or gasoline, far from the deployment area. Don't throw them near others who are deploying their shelters. Pull a red ring tab to tear the plastic off the shelter. Grasp the handles that extend from the folded shelter. The handles are marked right hand in red and left hand in black. Grasping the correct handles will speed your deployment. Shake out the shelter. Hold tight to avoid losing the shelter in high winds. Lie face down so your feet are toward the oncoming flames. The hottest part of the shelter will be the side closest to the advancing fire. Keep your head and airway away from these high temperatures. The hold down straps on the new shelter are sewn into the floor panels. As soon as you are under your shelter, slip your hands through the straps up to your elbows. It is critical to be on the ground under the shelter before the fire arrives. When you are on the ground, push out the top and sides of the shelter so its volume is as large as possible. The air between you and the sides of the shelter is excellent insulation. Be sure that the shelter is fully unfolded and not bunched underneath you when you deploy. Don't roll up in the shelter, as this can lead to serious burns. Keep your nose and mouth on the ground. Temperatures just a few inches off the ground are dramatically higher than those at the surface. Wear gloves inside the shelter. Without them you may burn your hands and be unable to hold down the shelter. Wear your hard hat to protect your head from burns and if you use a face and neck shroud, pull it down into place. If you have a radio, keep it with you in the shelter so you can communicate during and after the entrapment. Always drink plenty of fluids whenever you are fighting fire. Your body can cope with high temperatures more effectively if you are well hydrated. Do not wet your clothing or bandana. Wet clothing conducts heat to the skin much faster than dry clothing, making burns more likely. It also increases humidity. Moist air causes more damage to airways than dry air at the same temperature. The best way to use your water is to drink it. If you have time, clear an area at least 4 x 8 feet down to mineral soil to limit flame contact with the shelter. Though the new shelter offers improved protection from direct flame, survival is more likely if flame contact is avoided. If you are being overtaken by extreme heat or flames, get flat on the ground. Death is almost certain if you get caught standing or kneeling in a flame front. Finish deploying your shelter from the ground. The new shelter is smaller than the old shelter. It is designed for one person. Sharing greatly increases your risk of injury. If you are forced to share, both people should have their heads away from the oncoming fire. If you are with a group, deploy your shelters close together. Adjacent shelters can provide added protection from radiant heat, and being close together improves communications between individuals. They were cheering each other on and cheering each other up and saying, you know, again, we're Perryville, we're tough, we're going to make it, we're going to come through this. And that instantly changed when the front hit us. The winds were probably in excess of 70 miles per hour. The sense of power that you had around you, that energy release that we had around us was just absolutely incredible. Once you are in your shelter, you must focus on two things. You must commit to staying on the ground in the shelter no matter what. And you must protect your lungs and airways by keeping your mouth as close to the ground as possible. No matter how bad it gets inside the shelter, it will be much worse outside. If you panic and leave the shelter, one breath of hot gases can lead to suffocation and death. I think for a period of probably three to five minutes, I was absolutely sure that was it, that I was going to die in this, that I would not survive this. There was no question in my mind at that point, it was just a matter of when. And I remember thinking very clearly at that point that, you know, should I just ride this out and make this last maybe an hour or whatever time it takes for me to die from this? Or should I maybe just push this shelter off, stand up and take a deep breath and get this over with? At that point, I started to think about my family. I had my wife and I have two daughters. And I remember thinking I need to do everything that I possibly can to go home and see them. And so that really is what kept me in the shelter. No matter how frightened you feel, you must not panic.  To keep yourself calm, concentrate on your family or friends or on a religious symbol that is meaningful to you. Some people find that using repetitive chant or phrase can help them stay in control. To help calm others, talk back and forth by shouting or by radio. But do not leave your shelter even if someone does not respond to your shouts. It was extremely painful.  Or that you're being burned to the point that you'd never be able to use those limbs again. When in fact, they were third degree burns, but I ended up being able to fully recover from that. I think it's very important for people to know what that experience might be for them. That they might believe that they're going to die, that they might believe that they're being burned to death. When in fact, you probably survive well beyond that, but their greatest hope is staying inside that shelter and protecting themselves. No matter what they hear, no matter what they see or feel, that they have to make just an absolute commitment to staying with that shelter if they want to go home. Stay in your shelter until the flame front has passed and temperatures have cooled. Entrapment times have ranged from 10 to 90 minutes in length. Many entrapment survivors have spoken of being hit by more than one flame front, so use extreme caution. Firefighters have died when they came out of their shelters too soon. When you have left your shelter, make sure your supervisor knows that the deployment has occurred. Leave your shelter and other equipment in place if you can do so safely. It is important to learn all we can from each shelter deployment to improve safety for all firefighters. Begin. One. Seconds are critical. Repeated hands-on training is vital to ensure speedy deployment and proper reactions in emergency situations. Each year, every firefighter should do repeated fire shelter drills. Drill until each step from dropping your gear to deploying your shelter can be done automatically. Firefighters who have been through entrapments have reported a calming effect of doing something they are trained to do. Having a familiar task can help firefighters avoid panic and can aid them in deploying their shelters effectively. Practice fire shelters, now made of green plastic, can be reused many times. Always train wearing gloves, a hard hat, and if you have one, a face and neck shroud. Practice deploying your shelter under each of the following six scenarios. Practice a standard deployment, first clearing a four by eight foot site to mineral soil. Some firefighters have found that the best way to deploy the new shelter is to step in, sit down and roll over. Practice looking at the shake handles and grasping them with the correct hands before shaking. Practice deploying your shelter from the ground by opening the shelter and pulling it over you. Practice dropping your gear and removing your shelter while escaping. Practice deploying the shelter in a strong wind. High winds are common in entrapments. Some people find it easier to deploy from the ground in a wind. Try a variety of techniques to find one that works best for you. To simulate deployment in a strong wind, practice with one or more strong fans such as the positive ventilation fans used by structural fire departments. Learn to take advantage of the wind to help you open and deploy your shelter. But make sure your feet end up toward the oncoming flames. While lying in your shelter, picture yourself in an entrapment. Imagine the noise, heat and fear. Some firefighters have suffered from claustrophobia while in shelters. Spend enough time under your shelter to find out if you were claustrophobic. If you are, gradually increase the time you spend inside the shelter to help you adapt. I think under these situations when things start to go downhill, you start to respond to them in a way that conditioning or training that we've had and purely on that instinct that you've developed, like tying your shoes, you don't even look down anymore, you just do it. Never mix practice and real fire shelter components. This could lead to someone carrying a practice shelter onto the fire line by mistake. Never train in live fire. This is extremely dangerous and risks firefighters' lives.  The scenes you've seen here have all been simulations. Wear and tear on a fire shelter can reduce its ability to protect. Taking care of it is simple. Always keep the shelter in its white hard plastic liner. Avoid rough handling. Don't lean against objects when wearing the shelter or use the shelter as a pillow. Don't load heavy objects on top of the shelter and keep the shelter away from sharp objects that can puncture it. Be sure to inspect your fire shelter when you receive it and every two weeks during the fire season. Inspect the vinyl bag to ensure that the quick opening strip is unbroken and the two pull rings are intact. Look through the vinyl bag for signs of abrasion. Do not open the vinyl bag. Remove the shelter from service if you see extensive abrasion or tears on the edges of the shelter. If aluminum particles have turned to clear vinyl bag dark gray or if there is debris in the bottom of the bag. In closing, let's review the key points. The new fire shelter provides better protection against radiant and convective heat but carrying a fire shelter is not an excuse to take greater risks on the fire line. As soon as you realize your escape may be compromised, drop your gear. Take your fire shelter and your tool but drop all dangerous flammable objects and drop any items that may slow your escape.   Conditions outside the shelter will be far worse than those inside and train with your new fire shelter as if your life depends on it. As a firefighter, your highest priority is to stay out of situations that can lead to entrapment. The new fire shelter offers improved protection against radiant heat and flames but like its predecessor, it is still a last resort.  If your engines go to get a flat tire, if the trail you're walking out is not the right trail and you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Communication's not there and somebody's firing off the wrong piece of line and you're in the wrong place. You can be the best firefighter in the world and maybe something will happen to where you have to use the shelter and that's why I'm here to talk about it hoping that if it comes down to that then people know how to survive with it.


Welcome to Toffy TV, just a very quick breaking news video. Ashley Williams has left Everton Football Club and joined Stoke City on loan for the next 12 months. It effectively is the end of his Everton career. He had a year to go on his contract and he'll see that out now at the Bet365 stadium. I think it's the best decision for everybody. I think Ashley came in. I think the first season, I thought he'd done okay. I thought he was decent to be fair. When he joined from Swansea, Ronald Cooman's first season, I thought he was a good, steady defender. He tightened us up at the back. We'd had a problem certainly the year before. I can see the goals I thought he did well. Last season wasn't great at all. He started poorly. I thought he got better when Sam Allardyce came in for a bit and then tailed off again and obviously got sent off at Burnley. I looked deliberately at deliberate sending off. He got sent off there and didn't play for us again in the Premier League till the end of the season. That was in February, I think so. I think everybody knew Ashley Williams' time was coming to an end. He came back to free season. He's worked hard, played a few games, but Marco Silva and Marcel Brands clearly have identified that Ashley Williams' best days at Everton Football Club are done. He moves to Stoke City, so good luck Ashley at Stoke. There you go. Ashley Williams has moved on. He's the latest Everton player to be called by Marco Silva and Marcel Brands. I'm sure he won't be the last with others expected to complete moves within the next 24 hours. If you haven't subscribed to Toffy TV, please do so. It only takes a minute. If you want more videos, join us on Patreon. Thanks very much. See you later.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So another quick video talking about some rumors some tea that has been spilt Apparently on this form submission that is apparently announced Dumois, I believe is how it's pronounced and shout out to TC in our network For teaching me that if that's it truthfully how it is pronounced apparently it's French I guess but Some new rumors apparently came out on this form and it's another another person claiming to work for paramount pictures No word on how true this is of course No word on how true any of the other stuff that I mentioned in that last video Regarding screen five is just take all of this with a grain of salt Don't know if any of it's true We'll of course find out when the movie comes out or when the teaser comes out or as we continue to learn More official things from the studios from those involved from they've Campbell from Melissa Barrera And you know getting it from an actual official source someone who worked on the film These are just people claiming to have worked on the film We don't know if they actually did or not So don't take any of this as fact just take it as a rumor and just fun things for me to discuss on this channel With you guys because I know we cannot wait for this film to come out Can't wait to see how it turns out can't wait to see our first look at it So let's just hop right on in to what they are saying in this submission here now again Submission I have tea regarding screen five It's saying please keep this anonymous my friend works for paramount and has seen a few of the dailies For the new screen film I asked him for information and he only told me a few things one Dewi and Gale have a fight early on in the movie.  There will be a main title sequence That will please fans with the original franchise very visual effects heavy now The last one is what I want to touch on real quick Now I've seen people speculating on what if they take the M in scream and kind of slightly highlight The V that makes up an M to point out that this is screen five that would be cool But not making it like blatantly obvious that you're trying to say screen five in a way I guess like not making it go beyond the limits of the letter Just highlighting that portion of the letter in red to point out that that's a V shape Also to point and not to the fact that yes, this is a sequel. This is screen five unofficially titled Scream or officially titled scream not officially titled screen five so Whatever they're talking about that title sequence. I think all the screen films have had pretty great title sequence Title sequences except for I honestly would say the worst one was screen for screen for is the worst I think the whole but even then if that's the case I'm gonna say this that's gonna fall right in line with screen five the whole well Maybe not screen for using that for to rep and turning the a into a four I thought that was I thought that was kind of like what? Like I didn't the placement of it and how it was done just seemed very cheesy compared to the others They could have just done it and called it scream for and had the four on the outside Or at the four kind of slashing over over the screen Logo the same way you had in the past with two and three or whatever and then number two This is the most interesting one to meet those face will get crafty with his kills and we'll use new weapons now We already know we have like a I think Whatever job Melissa and Sam and Richie Melissa Berger and Jack Quaid whatever that couple they're gonna be working at We're speculating there's gonna be some type of kill there a bowling alley. I think is where they worked at I might be mistaken. I think it changed it changed a couple of times And we thought it was gonna be a bowling alley, but now it's something else So I've seen people talk about maybe we'll have a chase scene at their job, but that's in a different town That's in like Parkside because that's another thing. I'm assuming I'm assuming Because the working title for scream was Parkside alpha So I'm assuming Parkside is where Sam and Richie are now residents of and they're coming back to Woodsboro from that town maybe Sydney actually stays there too but who knows and Also, just to talk about the scissors aspect of this. We know he likes to use just his typical buck knife So ghost face and a pair of scissors That could end up in a very messy scenario We know the buck knife is definitely gonna be used but a pair of scissors that definitely would be a first Not necessarily the only time we've seen scissors that would be a first for ghost face but I think the last time I I actually would have loved to see scissors get used was when principal Henry got killed in the first movie when he Because he used scissors when he was interrogating those students So I felt like it would have been kind of cool if ghost face use those same scissors to kill him later on But that of course did not happen ghost face is always stuck to the buck knife Outside of scream 3 where he decided to blow somebody up I don't think we've ever seen ghost face utilize anything outside of that buck knife So that'll be a very interesting thing to see if a pair of scissors get used of Maybe even a butcher knife Maybe like just a nod to the fact that they're trying to pay homage to Michael Myers there with that He could use a variety of different things if that happens I'm not opposed to it like using different weapons to pay homage to some of the other slashers that Have kind of paved the way for ghost face when he debuted in the 90s I think that would be pretty cool and then the first one that it had here Gail and Dewey having a fight early on in the film. What is so shocking about that? I do not know these two have a fight every other movie Actually every movie in fact outside of the first one the first one is them getting acquainted falling in love and Starting that little romance scream to their beefing battling over gales book Scream 3 beefing battling about gail leaving Dewey in the hospital after the events of scream 2 To continue with her career scream for marriage is kind of not going that well because gail isn't happy with her Writing journalism career and the fact that she's not really that I guess popular anymore from what she used to be previously Dewey's now focused of being the sheriff He has this deputy who flirts with him of course gales not gonna be happy with that Dewey doesn't even really just shoot her down in a way. He kind of he kind of like welcomes Judy's flirtation Which I can understand what upset any significant other if you're that type of person But then them having a fight early on there's nothing shocking here if they're gonna have a fight early on They're probably gonna also be divorced then I'm expecting these two to be divorced then in screen five I would hope that they are not but if they are divorced not shocked by that not shocked that they would be fighting either They fight in every sequel they have an argument or something is causing a Frustration in someone in this relationship, but that's all I have regarding a parent T for screen five Let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below if you haven't already make sure you subscribe Turn on post notification at numbers video in the description I have links on my social media accounts on my Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course to let me know if there's any movies news or views You'd like me to cover in the future And with all that in mind guys, you will see me in the next video


Hello, brave and beautiful souls. Welcome to this energy update for September 2021. In this video, I'm going to share downloads I've been getting about what to expect from the energies of September 2021. And I'm also going to share tips that I was given by Spirit for preparing for this time physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and also three spirit animals that are stepping up to support us as power animals at this time. So before we get started, I just want to just let you know, I am speaking to a very specific group of souls here, the soul warriors who have incarnated into this world here with the specific soul missions to assist the world in this tremendous shift of consciousness in very specific ways at this time. So some of what I'm going to relay and some of its channels is rather hard to hear. And not everyone's soul mission is going to resonate with this at this time. So if this material doesn't resonate with you, no worries, just go on, find some other channel that's more cohesive with your energy. There's plenty of other great channels out there. But if it does resonate with you, you're really going to know it. Okay, so I'm going to start with just sharing the downloads that I got when I asked my guidance about the energies of 2021. So this is the first thing they told me. A heat wave is coming. You will be subject to fire. Bridges will be burned. There will be no going back. This is a time of choice. Make your decisions now. Choose which side you are on and act accordingly. The easy way will be made attractive. It is a slippery slope to death. Those on that slope will want you to follow.  Many will have already lost their auras at this time. It takes courage to follow the chosen path. Courage will be required of you should you choose the path of light. No one said it would be easy. Yet the more difficult path at the beginning is the blessed one in the end. Okay, so I really actually hesitated before relaying this message in its entirety because it is rather harsh. So I really did a lot of praying and feeling into is this really the message that wants to be given. I actually went in and asked again and I was given basically the same message. So I'm feeling like, okay, this is it. I'm feeling, you know, there there comes a time in everybody's awakening, you know, individually where you've got to wake up and really look at reality. It was a point I had to go through and a point that I think each and every one of us will have to go through. If you have been through a tremendous spiritual awakening of your own, you probably can pinpoint that time where you had to actually face the reality of what was going on in your world and make a choice, make a decision. And it probably wasn't an easy decision, but it took you through to a better place. That's where I'm feeling we're getting to as a society right now as a collective. So that's why I chose to actually relay every word of that message. Okay, before I go on because they gave me some tips for preparing, I just wanted to bring forward the spirit animals that are coming forward to support us because remember the animals are really here to support us through the 3D world, right, that we have to navigate. So the first one, I just want to mention that lion spirit has been really strong all through the lion's gate of this, the month of August. And I'm still feeling that, you know, with us through September, if you want to go and check out my lion's gate video that will give you a little bit of a good background, I also plan to upload a lion's spirit video very soon. But really, it's courage, heart, and the willingness and ability to roar, right, to actually really speak your truth in a powerful way. The next one that came up, I asked the guidance to please show me a picture relevant to the energies of September 2021. And they showed me this little dragonfly with spirals right there. And it really reminded me of a dragonfly picture that I did, a painting that I did last winter called Sovereign Spirit. So I looked that up on my gallery site, and just the right up there I think is really relevant. So if you choose to work with dragonfly, here's the message that goes along with that.  So this painting symbolizes the awakening soul breaking away from the darkness to fly free in the night, really about freedom, okay? The four wings of the dragonfly are numerologically significant and represent order and a strong foundation. Four is also the number associated with the archangels. And there's an archangelic energy all over this us right now as well. Just so you know, the solar disc at the top of this painting can be seen as the sun representing the life-giving force of the universe. And it also symbolizes the solar plexus chakra, the center of power in the etheric body. This painting can therefore be used in meditation to help strengthen this important energy center of the body or just tuning into dragonfly also would work along with the root chakra if we're like also turning into this color red. As an alternate interpretation, the black area of the painting can also be seen to represent the void. Meditating on it this way can assist one in finding one's personal power through the practice of stillness and inner peace. And at this time, I'm really feeling like that stillness is still so important, right? To be really anchored in the stillness. That's one thing that's really going to support us grounding and anchoring in that void energy and that great mother energy, super important, but also I'm feeling divine masculine of super also really coming forward right now. That solar energy mentioned in the dragonfly also very, very prevalent in the lion, as well as the next spirit animal that is really coming forward strong for me at this time, which is eagle. There was a meeting that I had with my wolf pack on Patreon and we did readings for each other. And we, eagle just came up like five or six times. It was just like eagle, eagle, eagle, eagle. So we each looked into it and found, you know, kind of read into just tuned into eagle energy to see what it would tell us. So I just wanted to share with you what eagle told me when I tuned into his energy, both about himself and about right now. And it's golden eagle. This is what came forward. I am energy. I am the power of lightning, the thunderbolt that strikes without warning. Where I saw, I weave the electric energy into the fabric of being. I energize the heavens with my wings. My flight is a dance that brings life to the air and to the earth beneath it. I spread my wings and it is a blessing, a benediction of the earth from the power of above. I am strength. I am certainty. I am both radiant heart and piercing eye. I see the truth of things and my focused gaze hits the mark. I am an arrow. I fly true. I am deliverance. You are tougher and more resilient than you may think. Joy is your ally and your most effective weapon. They will try to rest it from your hands, guard it fiercely. Your joy is your ticket to freedom. And I love this. First of all, I think it's really interesting that he's talking about the electric energy and weaving that electric energy. The electric energy is the masculine energy, the magnetic being feminine. This is really talking about energizing the masculine principle, the divine masculine in us and in the collective. That really being an activation of that energy. Keep in mind that with this activation of masculine energy, there could be an activation on both the light and the dark sides. Thunderbolts the strike without warning. That could be something that might be happening, but it could also be a really positive thing, right? This light from above. So just keeping that in mind. All right. So then I asked, how best can we prepare for the energies of September 2021? And the guidance gave me just insights or suggestions for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. All right. So starting with the physical, they say errors of the essence, you must protect your breath. Give yourself space to breathe, to bring fresh air into your home. Breathe from your belly. Breathe throughout the day as though you were on your yoga mat. Life is now yoga in action, love. And even if you don't do yoga, this concept of being very aware and present of your breath and just everything that you're doing, that is I think what they're talking about here. So, and especially in pertaining to the physical body and to our physical presence, our action here on in the world right now. Okay. So emotionally, love your inner child, the small frightened one. Forgive those around you whose inner children are crying and afraid. Light a candle of love in your heart and know that this flame cannot be extinguished without your consent. Know that with courage, you can overcome. Okay. This is beautiful as well. And it talks about that concept of consent. All right. Because we are going to be challenged about what we're willing or not willing to consent to. And we're we've already been challenged. We're going to be increasingly challenged. And remember that one of the most powerful things that we can do is just say, I don't agree with this. I don't consent to this. Right. And to really draw that thick red line in the sand about our boundaries. Okay. This is all about boundaries right now. Okay. So, but it also moves to, you know, the compassion that we have, like, you know, we're there may be things that ask you to act against your own compassionate hearts. Okay. And we need to be aware of that because sometimes it's not really obvious what we're being asked to consent to. So another thing about just being really aware. Okay. For the mental body, review the 12 spiritual laws. Make sure you understand thoroughly. This will help you to understand all upcoming events and maintain your stability and faith through these times. Okay. And I personally would love, you know, I'm planning to review these laws. If that's something that you would like me to make into a workshop or a series of events for, you know, just for anybody who wants to attend, let me know in the comments because I'm willing to do that. I think these 12 spiritual laws are super, super, you know, important and also really, really helpful for maintaining one's truth. So if you'd be interested in something like that, let me know. And then spiritually, call on your ancestors. They have seen it all. They have come through hard times. Your unbroken ancestral lineage transcends time. Your ancestral line includes also those in the perceived future as well as the past. When you connect with your ancestors, you tap into a powerful reservoir of healthy DNA. Ask and through this connection, you may be healed. This is a stabilizing force for you. Your ancestral connections will help to ground you, to stabilize you, to hold you steady in your rightful place. They will show you that your beingness is far greater than it appears, that you exist on many, many levels and in many dimensions of time and space. With the help of your ancestors, any requests of divine assistance will be amplified. Call for them and they will be there for you. Even if you feel you are alone, when you stand in the presence of your ancestors, two or more are always gathered, your ancestors are always with you. I found that extremely powerful and when I read that first, it was just like this real feeling of empowerment, really feeling into that ancestral power is always there for us. Okay, so just some takeaways. If you're resonating with this, I'm not going to sugarcoat things. I think this has already been made clear. The feeling I'm getting is that we're really likely to enter into a very, very intense time. It could be very challenging. A couple thoughts about this. We're being asked to operate in multiple dimensions at once. So it's really super critical, I think, to keep in mind that from a higher perspective, from the 5D and up, there's no fight, right? Everything's for the highest good. Light and dark are dancing together. So there's really nothing to fight against. All we need to do is focus on the light and things will work out all right. On the other hand, this is a transition time. So we're also operating in the 3D and 4D perspective, right? And this is where the majority of humanity is at this time. And from this level, there's a freaking spiritual war going on, right?  Now, take this or leave it. Follow your own guidance. Feel into your own guidance. If you don't feel this is true, by all means, unsubscribe, click away. I'm fine with that. But if anything of that is resonating with you, then it's really, really great time to really be aware and start really being careful of your boundaries, okay? And I'm really feeling like this, whatever it is, this dark side is going to really start making more and more intense power plays at this time. So we're being asked to navigate that reality without losing sight of the higher reality. The higher perspective is that we're all one, right? So because if all you're seeing is the warfare, if you're just caught up in this whole spiritual warfare thing without the higher perspective, you're going to get stuck in there, right? You're never going to get beyond the 4D. But it's also important to keep an eye on that 4D perspective, right? And to navigate what's happening there because that's going to just help us to, you know, not be complacent, right? So right now we've got two big enemies. And I'm talking about enemies within ourselves. One is fear and the other is complacency. This is not a time to sit silent.  We've got to become fearless and remember why we're here. And it's really time to draw a line in the sand and let that divine masculine lose, right? As well as the divine feminine, you know, the one, the inner lion, the one who insists on truth and doesn't back down when it comes to upholding and anti-protecting the innocent. That's what the divine masculine does, okay? So there's a lot of talk about toxic masculinity, but a lot of that has actually disabled the masculine in general. We need you guys, right? Not just like, you know, the divine masculine within each of us and actual embodied divine men, right? Masculine men who are willing to stand up and, you know, do what the divine masculine does, which is to protect, to serve and to protect, right? And to really call things out. So a lot of us may be called to embody that lion spirit, whether you're male or female or however you identify. And that means to cultivate courage, to stay in your heart and to roar your truth, okay? This is not a time to hold back. And right now, I just also want to share some guidance that my husband's guides gave to him that he shared with me. I'm sharing with permission, and it was just a really simple three-part guidance, and that was one, to plan for the best, two, to prepare for the worst, and three, to rise to the occasion, okay? Very simple, but I found it really, really helpful. It's like very clear that's what we can do. Planning for the best means, you know, we are creator beings. We are creator beings, and we can, you know, we do have a say in this. So any oracle work is always going to be the sharing of potential, okay? So just because I'm feeling a lot of dark energy coming up does not mean that it's going to happen, and especially the more we actually set our minds to, you know, bringing light into the world, it really does mitigate this stuff, okay? Surprising things can happen, expect miracles, ask for miracles, right? Keep in mind that this is a free will planet. We can change the course of history, even prophesied history, right? And we are collectively choosing not only the outcome of our current situation, but how easy or difficult it will be to arrive at that outcome, okay? We are more powerful than we even know, especially when we combine our energies together. So that's why it's so important to stay connected both to our spirit teams and to each other in all ways. And I'm talking physical connection, and our right to assemble is super critical right now, as well as connecting digitally. But if these things should become difficult, remember, even if there's a total shutdown, even if every one of us is in isolation, we are always connected with each other, we are always connected with our spirit teams, don't lose faith in this. Don't lose faith, we are one, we always will be one, okay? So I'm just going to close with an invitation. I did mention the Wolfpack, my root Wolfpack group earlier on Patreon. We do meet every week, it's a very small intimate group. So if you're feeling the need for some soul sharing with, you know, soul brothers and sisters, we get together to just support each other as well as work on our intuitive connection with spirit. So I would love for you to join us if you're guided, we'll leave the link to that in the description below. Other than that, thank you so much for being you, for sticking it out, and remember that you were born to be free.


If you've got one of these OBD-2 scanners of a Chevy in the 2000s, let's say a Chevy Suburban, a Silverado, a Blazer, if you plug it in underneath your dash to scan your codes and it looks like this and nothing's happening, I'm going to show you what to check first. This week on Shop Shenanigans. Stay tuned and check it out. Okay guys, what we got here is this little actron, it's a code scanner, it's the OBD-2 pocket scan, it does a great job for all I needed to do, it's the CP9125, 9125 and it plugs in with this right here down underneath the dash, which I will show you right now, get my camera off the tripod, I got my lens cap on there, right under there, that's where this thing plugs into, so we're going to go ahead and plug it in just like that. Okay, now I know it's going to come up some codes for the O2 sensors, there's a lot of people call them knock sensors, but it's going to come up with a code for them, she has them, I will put them in for her, but now we're going to turn the key on and actually as you can see there's a problem somewhere because this thing is not reading anything. Okay, so we need to find out there must be a fuse somewhere because that should be, even with the key off it should be reading something, it'll come across the screen, so let's go ahead and I'm going to see if I can find a fuse or something that's bad with this thing and then I'll get back with you as soon as I find out why the scanner's not working in here. Okay guys, we're going to check the fuses, I have the key on, I want to put this onto the ground which is handy because right there's the ground of the battery, this is an O3 Chevy Suburban, if I remember right those work through the cigarette lighter, okay another radio works, I know everything works but I don't know about the cigarette lighter so I'm going to check it first, okay we got it on one side, well actually I can see it's blown, okay so all right let's go ahead and pull that out, yep it sure is it's blown, I don't know if you can see that or not but it is blown, all right so I've got a couple fuses in my pocket here, it takes a 15, there's a 15, I brought out a 10 and a 15 just in case because I didn't know which one it would be, I'm glad it wasn't a 20 because I didn't bring a 20 out, okay now let's go in here and let's check the code scanner and see if it works because if I remember right my buddy had an O5 Chevy, maybe it was an O4 that did the same thing and the cigarette lighter fuses what caused it so let's go ahead and plug this in, well let's shut it off turn the key off first, all right let's plug this in, we got there it is pocket scan, all right now we're going to turn the key on again don't start it just turn the key on and we're going to push read and now it's reading the codes, like I said it should come up with the O2 sensors, okay so there's I'm going to write this down and then we'll go in we'll look in the book and see what it what it so there you have it, check your cigarette lighter fused first should be a 15 amp it works on many different years I'm not exactly sure what use, sometimes it will also work on other GM products, Buick Cadillac some of those I do know people have complained about the issues now if you do that and it doesn't work check your pins inside you know not only this not only on your but check your pins up under the dash I have seen them before usually the one sometimes will bend okay well this has the pins and up inside is where the is where these pins will plug into it's usually the bottom right the last one the bottom right which would be that one right in here check it sometimes they'll bend over and they don't make a good contact because that's your that's usually your power port it works on many many different GM Chevy products check that first and then check your pin if that's not the issue then you're going to have to start looking into the wiring but there's a big chance that that's going to be your problem as you've seen that was our issue so it's usually a pretty good pretty easy fix because they don't get plugged into a lot but your cigarette lighter usually does your plug in chargers and you're you know they'll they'll burn out quite frequently so if you're having that issue and you plug it in and it comes up just blank and it does nothing even when you turn the key on chances are it's your cigarette lighter for you so check that first then your pin then you're going to have to go into wiring but uh I would check that first so there you guys go thanks for watching I appreciate it shea berry the myth the man a legend I'm gone for now bye bye guys have a good one


Hi guys, it's Monica. Thank you so much for joining me. I am going to do a tag video and this is a tag video that I did a year ago and I'm going to redo it for this new year. And it's Susan, little poet's tag. It's her new year's tag and it's always something that really makes me think when I read the questions and when I answer the questions. So a year ago I did it and it goes my heat. I'm in my bathroom. Welcome to my bathroom I should say, right? A year ago I did it and the first question was how would you rate 2020 on a scale of 1 to 10? So I went and I found my old video and I played it because I wanted to see how I rated 2020 in comparison to this year.  It was the worst year ever. COVID, my father, all sorts of different things going on in my life. It was just the pits. So this year how would I go look back on 2021 and on a scale to 1? How would I rate that? How would I rate 2021? And you know what? 2021 had some really good times, had some bad times, but I looked at 2020. I started out 2021 as a year of recovery trying to get over the pain of my father's loss. I didn't think in 2021 that I would be able to do that as readily or as easily as I thought I should, you know, to be able to function and go forward. And my year, my word that I used to describe last year to think about it for this year was breathe, take a deep breath. And that's what I really did. I kind of tried to win. I went into recovery mode. I thought that the year, you know, had some promise and I was optimistic. So 2021 for me was a solid eight.  We were blessed to have two beautiful weddings. We, Jay and I flew to Atlanta for my stepson Justin's wedding. He married Tamro's a beautiful wedding. And then Jay and I went for a mini vacation to Savannah and then to Hilton Head where we had rented a little Airbnb on the water. It was, it was beautiful. It was a nice getaway. Came back and we had a goal orientated year, a strong goal orientated year. And we had another wedding in the fall. My son, Marty, got married. His wife, Angela, they had a beautiful fall wedding. Perfect weather. She was absolutely gorgeous. My, my grandson, Augie was there. Maybe watch his mom and dad get married. My new step-grandson, Cason, it was just a beautiful, beautiful wedding. I loved, I loved it. I loved every moment of it. So between the goal of 2021 and achieving that goal, that was really huge for me. So a solid eight was 2021. And it was those two weddings. I think the second question I haven't written down just so I wouldn't forget them is what's your favorite memory? Well, I just kind of shared them, right? Definitely the two weddings. The vacation we took was just absolutely phenomenal going down. They're just being together. Jay and I just, we enjoy low-key lifestyle. We enjoy being together. We enjoy walking the beach. We enjoy scoffing. We enjoy a lot of things together. But seeing our children, his son, my son, get married, have beautiful weddings, marry women that are just absolutely beautiful, that we totally embrace as family members is the crowning of glory. And yeah, I, you know, I feel that that, that experience and then achieving our goals. We achieved some really strong goals that we had set for ourselves. And that was just, to me, was awesome. So question number three, did you change as a person in 2021? Yes, I did. Without a doubt. I remember an old saying, and many of you probably remember it as well. The old saying is that if you stand with one foot in the past and one foot in the future moving forward, but you can't move out of that, you're anchored because you have that foot in the past, then you pee all over your present, right? Because you can't move forward.  And I focused on unangering myself, taking that foot out of the past, creating more memories, creating experiences and taking that foot out of the past and firmly planting it in the present so both feet could go forward to the future.  And that's what I really worked on because I think the death of my father really cemented the fact that life is fleeting, even though he lived to be in his 90s, life was fleeting. But then I had another death, and that was the death of my brother in September. And that was so totally out of left field, so totally unexpected. And he was 70 years old, 70 years old.  It was hard to overcome it, but I, but I overcame it because I felt that my brother, who survived Vietnam, right, he came home from Vietnam, but he never, ever came home from Vietnam. I don't know how to explain it. He never really left Vietnam. So I would say that my brother died in Vietnam, even though physically he was here. And I feel now that he, I do believe he's at peace. His life was so, you know, while he had everything he needed, right, I took care of him in many ways, his life was so upsetting and different for him. So now he's with my dad. I believe the two of them are together up there watching us and just, you know, just watching, just being with us. Number four, favorite video. And you know what? I did not have a favorite video in 2021, not that I did at all. You know, I found 2021 again was that, that phase of working myself forward, not wallowing in the past and, and all of that. So my channel probably hurt a little bit in growth because I didn't devote as much time to creating content. I was really splintered. I didn't know what I wanted to do, what I wanted to do, I didn't think anyone wanted to listen to. So I really didn't have a favorite video in 2021. Number five, one or two products that blew you away. Oh my gosh. So I've talked about this product line quite a, quite a few times in different videos. And I truthfully will tell you, it absolutely did blow me away. Once I started to consistently use it, you probably all are going to know, I'm going to mention, Peaches Skincare. I love the cleanser. I love the exfoliation system. I'm loving the moisturizer. I'm loving, I'm just loving the products. I'm loving the tips that Lisa gave me. Now I'm not ready to obviously embrace gray, go makeup free, but I am loving the canvas. That whole, that whole blue, that whole line blew me away. Lisa's tips, Milk and Magnesia, the apple cider vinegar just totally, totally blew me away. So I would definitely say that is the one product line. Now I was, I placed an order. Some of this yes, originally Yukon Conceo was sent to you. Well, yes, absolutely originally it was sent to me. But I've purchased with my own money. I mean, to me, that's a huge testimonial because there's a lot of products I don't buy. You know, especially if it's a high end product because I can't justify spending 80 bucks for a foundation. That's not in my budget. That's not in my lifestyle. And I won't do it to review a product on YouTube. I just won't. So Peaches Skincare blew me away. And the other product that blew me away, you guys are probably going to guess it. It's my eBike. I love my eBike. Glenda, my eBike is absolutely awesome. It kills me that I can't ride in the winter. I love my eBike so much that I knew that I wanted to have custom fenders. I wanted to have a custom basket. There was, I bought fancy lights for the wheels. I don't have them installed yet. And I bought, you know, a couple of different accessories. I love my eBike. And because I love my eBike so much, and because I'm so thrilled with the quality of my eBike, that I bought a second bike. I wasn't going to say anything. So my second bike is more of a bum around bike, right? It's like going around a campground. It's like biking on the beach. Glenda is a street bike. It's comfortable. It's awesome if I'm going to pedal for 30, 40 miles, which I've done 30 miles on her. And it's comfortable. I'm sitting upright. It's just everything about Glenda is comfortable street bike. But I just wanted a little sassy thing I could whip around and do some sand biking. So I got myself, I'm naming her, I think the sassy winch. She's really cute. I don't have her physically yet. But I have her but she's still in the shop because I'm having a suspension put on, you know, for shock. So yeah, my eBikes, oh my God, my husband, I'm surprised he let me, you know, he didn't try to talk me out of it. But he didn't. Number six, what creator on YouTube inspired you the most in 2021? You know, first, I wasn't going to answer that question. I hate questions that you have to select somebody because I always feel like I'm going to leave someone out and stuff like that. But there's a couple of people. But there's one person in particular, in particular that has inspired me the most. And this one person, I've had the the pleasure of meeting her in in real life. I would say that we are extremely close YouTube friends and extremely close, even though we are a great distance apart, mileage wise, we're close as ladies as women, very, very close. And this woman, I met her. I watched her change. I watched her go from the end of 2020, going through an extreme tragedy in her personal life. Extreme, I mean, difficult, difficult thing.  I watched her go through that. The pain was enormous. I watched her come out of that other end, not that you ever fully come out of that other end. And I know there's some other YouTubers that I'm, you know, Babs, Take Control of Beauty is one that I know has gone through a personal tragedy as well. So I know it's so difficult. But this one woman, I watched her become goal oriented. She got a job. And her job was running a Facebook page. And I watched her grow that Facebook page. I think it might have been like six, seven, eight thousand subscribers, or not subscribers, but you know, fans or followers on that page to almost 20,000 or maybe even over. I watched her tackle that. I watched her grow and find a niche that she loved, which was wig reviewing. So she reviews wig she does, products she does amazing makeup. Many of you know who she is. I absolutely adore her. I saw her open a second channel and I said to her, my goodness, you know what? Having two channels is going to be difficult. And it is difficult. But I saw her open that second channel, which was basically primarily wig reviews. And I saw her blossom. Oh my God, has she blossomed? And then I saw her be so inspired that she went on a diet.  She changed her lifestyle. And she lost over 50 pounds.  I'm going to link both her channels, her beauty channel and her wig review channel because both deserve a little love.  So if you're into alternate hair, maybe, maybe your hair is thinning. It doesn't matter. And if you want to look at different wigs and you want to look at, she's beautiful. It's Marlene and her, her channel is Marlene's wig and chat room. And her beauty channel is Fab and Blam. Marlene Fab and Blam over 50, I believe. I'm going to link both of them. But but she has totally inspired me. I watched her lose weight. And I'm like, I'm going to do that. I'm going to get on that bandwagon. I'm going to get right back up there and do it. I saw her overcome that super tragedy of losing a child. And I thought, Oh my gosh, I understand some of her pain, but I didn't really. I lost a parent and then I lost a brother. I can't even imagine the pain of that. I can't even imagine. And I saw her go through it. I saw Babs go through it. I'm going to link Babs channel below as well for you. But yeah, the person, the creator that really inspired me from beauty looks to wig reviews to being successful at on a job, a full time job, basically on Facebook, managing a group of women, mostly 20,000. Can you imagine what that was like? Totally, totally inspired me. So yes, number six, what is the creator on YouTube that inspired me? Definitely my lovely friend Maline had the pleasure of meeting her. And I hope that in 2022 we get together again. Number seven, what is the funniest meanest strangest comment?  But I get a lot of marriage proposals from poor lonely people. Marriage proposals, oh my gosh, yeah. So I don't really have any anyone that sticks out this past year.   I'm 68. I'm not trying to look like I'm 28. I'm 68. I just want to be a good 68. But I'm not, I'm not a model. I'm not a movie star. I'm just I'm just like you. I'm just a real regular person who struggles with weight, struggles with issues. I'm 68. So yeah, my gels can be down by my ankles. Oh, big deal. I'll try to pick them up. What is my proudest accomplishment of 2021? My proudest accomplishment of 2021 has to be the financial goal that Jay and I set. We set a goal to get out of debt, to work really hard to get out of debt and still enjoy life while we're doing it. In other words, we're not going to deny ourselves. I mean, look at that. I get two e-bikes, right? They're not inexpensive. And to be able to buy them set a lot for us. So we both set that goal to work hard to chisel out our debt in big, big gulps and chew it up and spit it out. So my proudest accomplishment, personally, our financial goal was getting out of debt. And then the family goal was watching those two beautiful couples get married. Oh my gosh, I just absolutely loved it. The last one is what is the one word you would use to describe yourself in 2021? Or what would the word that I would use? Not necessarily to describe myself but my goal. So last year it was breathe. That was the word. Take a deep breath. You know, this year it's going to be move. That's the only thing that comes to mind. Keep moving, keep working it, keep saving, keep going towards our goals. We set our goals for this coming year. Move physically, lose weight, but physically keep moving. That's my goal. That's my word. Move. So anyways, I love this tag. I'm super thrilled that Susan did it. Of course, little poet, I'll link her information below. She's inviting any content creator. I'm going to invite any content creators, any of you out there that want to do this, please jump on and do it. It's a great tag. It's a great way to get to know each other. And if you go, you folks watching, look, you know what your goals are. What is the word that describes you in 2022? Mine, move.  I've had the opportunity to ride my e-bike like crazy and that my skin keeps dramatically improving because of features. I'm pretty sure it will. And yeah, and that I just take every day and live it to the fullest. That's my goal. So thank you all so much for watching. I truly appreciate every single one of you. If you're new to my channel, please subscribe. Please like the video, leave a comment, run on over, go visit Marlene, visit both her channel. And I'm going to link Babs because she's gone through an awful lot as well. And I think when you've experienced death yourself and you see other people go through those losses, it totally resonates with you. So visit them, tell them I said hello. And if you hop over to Susan from here, which I know you all know Susan, I'll send you as well. Anyways, thank you all so much. Love to you all and I will see you in my next video.
