Excerpt from Eurovision Song Contest 2011 Winning Entry by Ell/Nikki, "Running Scared"
While it may have been far from the mind of the average American, last night's Euro mega TV event, the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest, was an extremely big deal to those on the other side of the Atlantic. Now in its 56th year and with 43 countries participating, last night's evening-long, live televised Eurovision Song Contest drew an estimated 100 million viewers, many of whom had bet money on this year's two hotly tipped favorites, Ireland and the United Kingdom, winning this year. Those gamblers lost when the small country of Azerbaijan took this year's Eurovision title! Nigar Jamal and Eldar Gasimov, who go by the name Ell/Nikki, earned the most points for their pop ballad "Running Scared."
UK entry in 2011 Eurovision Song Contest: Britain's Blue "I Can" came in #11
The Eurovision Song Contest is an American Idol like contest with a dash of soccer fan enthusiasm thrown in the mix. Unlike Idol, all songs are new original compositions. But like Idol and similar TV music contest shows, many in Europe are quick to dismiss the glitzy, much hyped pop music TV event as irrelevant "rubbish." Regardless, a hundred million devoted European viewers tuned in to last night's contest. And it's been estimated that up to 600 million view worldwide in virtually every country but the US. Last night's contest was broadcast from a sold-out stadium in Dusseldorf (Germany hosted because they won last year with singer Lena's song "Satellite"), where 36,000 enthusiastic fans screamed along and proudly waved their countries' flags. Last night's final followed two weeks of festivities plus two semifinals and a kind of dress rehearsal, a jury final, on Friday evening.
Dusky Diana, an American RnB/hip-hop vocalist living in Dusseldorf reported to the Amoeblog this morning that, "It was a bit crazy. Many people wearing their flags and yelling but not too bad, not like when there's soccer or Karneval."
The Eurovision winner is chosen after every country votes points for their favorite entries (countries cannot vote for themselves) and last night the most votes went to a country that many had never heard of, Azerbaijan, with Nigar Jamal and Eldar Gasimov (aka Ell/Nikki)'s song. Meanwhile, the two favorites, Ireland's Jedward and the UK's Blue, came in eighth and eleventh, respectively, in the contest of 43 countries. Next year's Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Azerbaijan.

Welcome to Brimful Curiosities! This review/giveaway is my contribution to the Book Giveaway Carnival, (November 3rd-8th, 2008). Head over there for all the great book giveaways this week!
Toddlers and preschoolers are budding explorers. Really, the whole world is just one large science experiment to them. My preschool age daughter loves to point out the tiny ants crawling on our sidewalk and has even asked me why the leaves on a tree change color in the fall. There are a number of nature books out there but very few geared toward the youngest child. Thankfully, a new company called The Little Environmentalists has recently released a science picture book just for these little naturalists.
Nature Discovery in My Backyard by Rebecca Mattano is the first book in a series of books designed to promote learning about nature and environmentally-friendly living at home. The book follows a little girl as she explores her backyard. Simple rhyming verses encourage children to use their senses (sight, hearing, smell, and touch) while investigating nature outdoors. From smelling a rose to listening to a blue jay, the picture book includes both common and unusual animals, plants and nature items that children might discover outside. The book discusses trees, insects, flowers, birds, and wildlife in a way that is easy for children to understand. My daughter especially loved the page spread devoted to birds. We have a bird feeder outside our window, so she loves to watch and identify all the different species as they eat.
Additionally, each topic covered includes a nature watch challenge along with an educational inset meant to encourage discussion. For instance, one page asks, "Can you find these insects in your yard?" A special section in the back of the book provides notes and tips for educators and parents to help facilitate more detailed discussions. There are even tips to use in winter, a season fast approaching us here in Wisconsin!
I was especially delighted to find that The Little Environmentalists print their books out of 100% post-consumer waste and use environmentally friendly ink. The company is devoted to eco-friendly business practices and production. Rebecca Mattano, the author, is a mother to two young daughters and is also an adjunct professor in the field of Environmental Science.
Nature Discovery in My Backyard, by Rebecca Mattano. The Little Environmentalists, LLC (2008), 27 pages, ISBN 9780982037102

Membership, as they say, has its privileges.
If you have any specific questions regarding our rollout of the new Publisher's Club service, please ask them here. Any comments or complaints will be accepted, but please be careful in what you say. If you have any suggestions as to what could be added or what's not interesting (especially what could be added in order to entice you to join), please post it here!
Please note that no one is losing anything due to the Publisher's Club subscription service, but those that are classy enough to sign up will gain a more enjoyable experience at The Escapist!
For those that have no idea what I'm talking about: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/registration/subscribe
Fantastic incentives for anybody who wants to support the Escapist.
Thanks for all the quality entertainment and thought-provoking articles you deliver!
Looking very cool. Always nice to see you guys going forward and pushing things further!
looking forward to seeing the changes implemented
QUESTION : Is it open to people from EU?
Get a Paypal payment option up, and I'll be all over this.
It's about time you guys got this!
From Jaredin's question, Australia as well?
To be honest, I can't say I'm too overly happy, seeing as I'm more of a LRR forum member than an Escapist one.. And they released high quality videos each and every week for free.. Now that's being torn away to benefit The Escapist instead of the ones who already had it looking awesome?
Weird.. But I'm certainly sure that the hardcore LRR fanbase will be raging. A lot.
Plus, not to sound harsh or anything, but I could hardly call people like Yahtzee or Marion "game journalists/reviewers". To review a game, you play it properly and give an unbiased opinion/viewpoint.. Not just drop it because you're "rather bored". It's your job. Do it properly or let someone else who actually will.
I'm on board with this. I like supporting websites that I frequent and if they're going to give me something in return, it's just as well.
Also, anything to get rid of those really creepy looking pasta advertisements. The wriggling is very unnerving.
Hm... can we unsubscribe whenever we want to, or is it a "Once you sign in, your in for life" type deal. You know, kind of like a cult or something...
Just wondering, since I would love to support you guys, but am just not to crazy about yearly subscriptions...
Whenever you want, including immediately. The benefits run through the last second no matter what.
I think I'll be in, just for supporing the escapist ( I don't get much excitment from HD videos, and beeing from Brazil I'm not eligible for most contests, so...). But I don't know for how long - also, 10 seems a fairly good contribution IMHO - so I need to ask: what if I want to cancel my subscription in the second year?
Edit: well, answered while I was typing. Awesome!
I'll probably join... I so spend a lot of time on this site... Seems logical to put a bit of money in.
Thinking of a forum title will be the hardest thing...
EDIT: 13 pounds for us Brits... That's not too bad.
EDIT 2: Curses! only 1.36 in my account, Well I would join at this discounted price but it looks like that's a no no now, Fuck. I'll join full price when I get paid.
Deffinatly something to think about. I certainly spend the majority of my time on the internet on here so perhaps I will jump on that 10 dollar deal.
Quick question: will it be auto-renewal, or is it manual?
And will you get a message if your subscription is about to expire?
As a general rule, I think closing your site off wholesale to free members (see: Financial Times) will be a deterrent to a lot of people. That said, I think a "premium member" scheme will be more effective on a site like this, as long as you don't slap the free users with the Wet Fish of Promotion too often.
Memo to self: is this site worth £13-ish (or in this case, £6.50-ish) per year?
You're all going like; "imma subscribe! imma support this sh*t!". Well. I have subscribed b*tches w00t! What do I win?
There is no such thing as an objective opinion. Reviews will always reflect the biases of their authors.
I have a question, do you only get to choose your title once or are you able to change it?
Might I ask is the 50 percent discount starting from today? Need to know how much money to put on my pre pay card so I can subscribe to this shizz as soon as possible.
*checks subcribe page* Seems so.
You do realize that Marion is a fictional character and that Reliable Source is satire, right?
You also realize that The Escapist hosts a number of reviewers, of course?
As many times as you want.
Well said!
Interesting. Depending on my financial situation next week, I might sign up for this then.
Great! I was worrying that it might be like your username, I shall purchase it right away!
Is this a guarantee that video quality will not be diminished for standard users? If so, then good show and good luck. If not, then BAD ESCAPIST! I strongly suspect the former is the case though, so as I said, good show and good luck.
It may be fictional and all, Susan, but it's still.. Well.. In extremely poor taste. I've read through a few and I really just can't stand it.
And of course I know of the actual reviewers, in fact I've watched several and enjoy them.. But there's reviewers.. And.. Well.. Douchebags.
Wootness. Go team!
And as Kuliani et al have said, you will absolutely not lose anything by not subscribing, so don't worry about that :)
Am I able to pay for this via Mastercard or Visa? I couldn't see anything about payment methods maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.
Oh, that's fine if you don't enjoy RS, it's not for everyone, but to lump Marion in with the rest of us is simply unfair. If you consider a fictional character to be a douchebag, no problem, but I hope you're not saying that the rest of our reviewers aren't doing their jobs.
You guys should hire Fanboy and the Avatar store to make custom avatars for the premium members, that would be awesome.
I'm sure not planning on re-encoding ALL the videos AGAIN just to lower their quality.
Correct, you will still see the videos exactly as they are now if you do not subscribe. Along with their ads. All those nice, pretty, enjoyable ads. Mmmmmm. I love watching ads, even those flash ones on the forums that slow my computer down a little. Those subscribers are missing out on all the wonderful distractions! http://www.escapistmagazine.com/registration/subscribe
Yep, you can do both, they where on the payment options when I signed up.

Since the US military sucks up nearly a trillion dollars of our income taxes every year, they have plenty of money to blow, and here's one of the cool toys such prodigious amounts of cash will buy: it's a giant magnetic slingshot. But the spending has hardly even started on this one yet—the Air Force so far has contributed a paltry half million dollars to LaunchPoint Technologies to develop its idea of a satellite launch system that accelerates its payload around a giant ring using magnetic levitation (MagLev) technology.
How are they really going to use this?
This all sounds like a great idea until you realize that the 220-pound payload proposed to be launched by this device will be exposed to 10,000Gs of force as it's accelerated to a speed of 6 miles per second. Heck, that's 21,600mph. Imagine the noise that thing will make. Notice in the pictures here that it's situated out in the middle of nowhere.
Satellite launcher? We're thinking it's probably going to be slinging lethal projectiles at those who hate America, rather than launching harmless and useful things like satellites.

Gaborone Climate & Weather
The climate of Gaborone is semi-arid, meaning it is hot and dry for most of the year. There is little distinction between average summer and winter temperatures, although in winter months it can be chilly at night. Rain is erratic, but falls mostly in summer in heavy localised downpours that are followed quickly by a return of strong sunshine. Summers are extremely hot with high humidity in the mornings. The best time to visit Gaborone is during spring or autumn when the weather is warm and dry.

Who are they?
Emotionally focused, Moyra and Fredrika are extremely sensitive creatures who tend to be very attached to their home and family. They are also very active, dynamic, independent and eager to spread their wings and assume their responsibilities. They aspire to peace and are prepared to go to great lengths to ensure that harmony prevails in their environment. Their presence is both calming and reassuring, their somewhat phlegmatic attitude being comforting and attractive. Nevertheless, they are actually excessively nervous - a quality for which they compensate with an incessant but well-orchestrated program of activity, because they possess considerable organization skills. Generally diplomatic and straightforward, their impulsive and emotional nature could cause them to behave in ways that they later regret. They are quick-tempered but their anger is short-lived and they are not the slightest bit rancorous, and if ever they happen to get too carried away they will be eager to patch things up and re-establish the peace, which they hold so dear. Everything depends on their level of motivation, and when they really want something they are capable of incredible courage and energy as well as steely determination in order to achieve their goal. On the other hand, it is possible that once they obtain their heart´s desire they grow tired of it, want to change things or ideally, wish to progress even further. They are indeed often attracted to unfamiliar or challenging situations since they provide the opportunity for them to surpass themselves. They are extremely conscientious women who are perfectionists by nature and who tend to impose obligations and constraints on themselves. Their attitude to order could be a little disconcerting to observe and they may be terribly fussy and pernickety in one particular area (usually in their professional lives where they can be overzealous), while they are completely disorganized in another that they judge as being insignificant. As little girls, they are very affectionate and eager to please their parents by making themselves indispensable and behaving responsibly. Domestic harmony is essential to their well-being and a parental dispute could have disastrous effects on their emotional equilibrium. They could therefore be tempted to run away to avoid being confronted with constant stress. They could enjoy art, dance or music - or all three.
What do they like?
Moyra and Fredrika are proud, ambitious and intend to succeed so that they can run the show, without anybody telling them what to do. They don´t tolerate subordinate roles well at all because they want to shine and be a role model for others. It is possible that they fall prey to authoritarianism and pride, which are inseparable from such a highly sensitive nature. In matters of the heart, they resolutely want the upper hand (because they can´t stand being dependent on anybody else) and are very selective when choosing a mate. They are often too idealistic and very indecisive; easily finding fault with their partner and not hesitating to let him know... They therefore sometimes make their love lives more complicated than they need to be with their impossibly high expectations.
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What do they do?
Moyra and Fredrika can often feel torn between the desire for personal success and the desire to start a family. Their perfectionist nature means that juggling the two could be difficult and liable to entail feelings of guilt. Their career choice could be influenced by their family, thereby compromising their own aspirations to bend to their parents´ wishes. Otherwise, they are likely to be drawn to an occupation involving the care and support of others (the medical or paramedical fields or in connection with justice or psychology...), a liberal profession, management or executive management positions as well as those requiring accuracy or a sense of esthetics.

In May, a shockingly cruel cover of Globe asked, "Who'll Die Next?" Well, now we have an answer: The editors have decided that person is Bill Clinton.
The story inside has quotes from "insiders" and "sources" who report that President Clinton is looking "gaunt and old, almost like he is wasting away," and the mag claims he is "turning his lifestyle upside down trying to keep the Angel Of Death at bay." There's an insinuation that Chelsea Clinton had a miscarriage — "the ex-Prez was thrilled when Chelsea was showing a baby bump in April, But his 32-year-old daughter […] is currently NOT with child." The copy reads that he is "believed to be battling Parkinson's disease" and also alleges that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told her husband than when she quits the Obama administration, she will start a fresh life, living with a female companion.
Get all that? Dying, unborn kids, lesbianism, Parkinson's. How this rag stays in business without going bankrupt from lawsuits is a mystery.

How to Raise Ducks In Your Home
The first thing that you have to do is to acquire baby ducks. Basically, you have two choices, you can purchase from farms or you can search for an online store. The good thing about purchasing baby ducks from the internet is you will be guaranteed of their quality and get the kind of duck you want to raise. The disadvantage of online purchasing is you need to purchase a minimum number and you have to pay delivery charges. Three ducks is manageable, but the higher the number, the higher the mess they will produce. Ducks are naturally messy animals since they kind of play with their meals. It is suggested to convince a neighbor or a friend to raise ducks also and split the order.
Finding baby ducks locally is not an easy task. They can't just be purchased at your local pet store. They are seasonal pets. You should find a farm or specialized pet stores in your area that market ducks for domestic purposes. Normally, most types of ducks are hatched during spring. For their food, a local feed store is the best place where you can buy food pellets and proper materials for feeding and raising baby ducks.
When you have purchased your baby ducks, place them in a high-fenced plastic container with paper or cloth sheets in the bottom. Place this container near a source of light that can run about 40 – 80 watts, suitable to keep the area warm. If you have a lamp, you can use it, but do not use lamps with bulb more than 40 watts, since too much warmth can be harmful. You can observe their behavior when they are not comfortable with the heat. If they keep away from the lamp and keep pushing their legs from under, they feel too much heat. If they huddle closely together very near the lamp, the heat is inadequate.
If they are ready for outdoor fun, allow them to roam around your yard, that is if you have one. However, you should keep them in at night to protect them from predators such as cats, raccoons and dogs. You should note that it will be difficult to raise ducks when your cat is not trained not to harm them.
Probably the most enjoyable experience with having pet ducks is swimming with them or at least watching them swimming your pool, even in an inflatable one. Duck have natural oil coating in their feathers that keeps them dry. You should take note that baby ducks acquire oil from their mother, so it is unwise to let them play in water when they are too young. They can get colds, or even get drowned.

What is Marine Biology?
Definition of the Term
Marine biology is described as the study of life forms that live in saltwater or usually ocean environment. Several life forms may be included in the studies such as the analysis of fish, plants, marine mammals and other microscopic organisms. Marine biology may also cover the entire ocean ecosystem, or a particular kind of life form, including its interactions with other living beings and the habitat.
Marine biology may also be described as studies in the field or the analysis of information collected from different ocean sites. It can be very comparative in nature, such as analyzing the same bacteria that live in different oceans. It can also be specific on the particular species.
As a Science
Marine biology is highly related to other kinds of science, like climatology since it has effects on life forms in the ocean, animal behavior and oceanography. Some marine biologists may focus on the biological nature of a given animal, while others focus more on the behavior of the animal. Several times, individuals refer to marine biology only as the study of marine mammals, such as dolphins, seals and whales.
In reality, it represents a minor part of marine biology study. There are only limited marine mammals compared to large numbers of fish, plant and single-celled species in the ocean. Some less interesting species may have limited studies compared to the more glamorous marine mammals.
Grants and Activism
Marine biology sometimes can involve activism, since some scientists achieve high levels of education. Marine biology should be understood together with other existing sciences. Many individuals now aim to protect the ecosystems of the ocean, thus improving in their speaking and writing skills.
Several marine biologists can apply for grants. There are usually marine biology sites located in landlocked countries and states. Oceans and its many life forms have various effects on different areas. Prehistoric marine biology may also assess the tissues of extinct ocean life forms that still exist in areas where saltwater bodies are no longer found.
Knowing the Benefits
Marine biologists also continue to study to understand the nature and determine the many benefits of organisms in the ocean that can be highly helpful and supportive to human life. The different life forms in the ocean can have potential health advantages as well as provide the means to developing new medicines.
Some are even very helpful in preserving and protecting earthbound life forms. Marine biology has always fascinated people since several of the species in the ocean are still unknown. Some parts of the ocean remain inaccessible because of depth or temperature. Marine biologists are always open to the opportunity of becoming a part of new discoveries.

Hi group, I wanted to see if there is any interest in starting a thread about transits. My idea was to go through the main evolutionary theme, or meaning, of the planets through transit, and then apply to it an individual chart, and/ or current transits that are happening. In this way we could learn how to apply the main evolutionary themes of specific transits to the individual chart. Let me know if this interest in this idea, and we'll move forward.
God Bless

Hey Deva,
I think this would be extremely helpful. as I am beginning to look at charts for people they often want to know about things happening now. I can intuit some of it, but I think this would be a great learning tool for me.

Hi Group, here are my thoughts about Mars transits.
Mars is the leading edge of evolutionary growth, or change. It gives the evolutionary dynamics in the chart a constant forward motion, or momentum. It is the lower octave of Pluto, or how we consciously act out the desires that emanate from Pluto. Mars correlates with the beginning of a brand new evolutionary cycle, and the need to initiate, or put into motion, actions that will allow this new cycle to begin. Mars transits symbolize the need to put into motion necessary life changes relative to the beginning of new part or cycle within our life that will allowthe current evolutionary/karmic dynamics to be actualized. Mars correlates with instinctual behavior, and learns on an action-reaction basis. When experiencing Mars transits there will be an increasing need for freedom and Independence to intiate the necessary actions, or direction, that will allow the new evolutionary cycle to move forward. It is important to understand that the new evolutionary cycle is not consciously known, or understood by the individual because it is so new. In other words, Mars/Aries/1st house correlates with the process of self-discovery , and again, the need for freedom and independence to discover what the new evolutionary cycle is about.
Mars also correlates with anger. Anger can be linked with many things, but one critical dynamic that is linked with anger is not wanting to have personal freedom restricted in any way. When experiencing Mars transits, anger at personal limitations or any external restrictions to initiating the new cycle that the individual feels is necessary at that time of the transit can manifest. It is important to understand that anger can be projected into external situations that are perceived as the cause of the limitations instead of understanding that the increasing desire to change existing life circumstances is a reflection of the desire to create forward momentum in evolutionary growth, and to use anger in a constructive way to create the necessary changes that must be made at this time. A Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter or Uranus transit to Mars will have a deeper impact than transiting Mars to these planets because of the length of the transit itself (mars moves fast in the sky). I would like to use some examples of Mars transits, but want to make sure the introduction is clear first, and of course looking to forward to input from others.

Hi Deva,
Your introduction to Mars transits is very clear to me, however, just one question:
I really appreciate your explanation of Mars' projections onto the environment. Since the individual may not be consciously aware of the need to move forward, the trigger of anger could be the vehicle that signifies the initial impulse for change. Is the outcome of forward momentum the same for both destructive and constructive anger? It's interesting how anger is used, in a sense to put an end to something, and also to start something new.
I'm looking forward to learning more from you and others.

So is it fair to say that Mars transiting another planet will cause an instinctual acceleration in evolution within the archetype of that planet? As a bare bones example......Mars transitting Uranus. So on a collective level for sure, but also individaully this would correlate with the need to put into motion our desires for liberation in this lifetime....whatever that represents within the lense of the karmic dynamic. Another being Mars transitting Sun.....This would correlate with the need to begin acting in a way that truly actualizes our real identity...........integrating happiness. I realize there is much more to it than that, but is that the bottom line level of the archetype we are looking at here? Starting from the ground up?

Wow, so happy to have this thread beginning. It couldn't be more timely in my life. I had an internal direct awareness of Mars in my chart this past week, clearly seeing how it plays out the loaded karmic patterns relating to my natal Pluto Venus conjunction (Mars is in Libra-PlutoVenus in 4H).
With Saturn coming soon to conjunct natal Mars square natal moon, I will be glad to have a heads up on Mars and this natal aspect, which has confused me for years. It's amazing to me how long it takes to truly get the dynamics that get played out externally before I internally gain the wisdom or willingness to fully embrace my own resistance and my own desires.
Also the information Rad has shared on the Geodetic and planetary nodes thread gives all of this even more meaning, especially since I have late degree cardinal planets (Mars included) that are squared, opposed and conjunct the nodes of Saturn and Pluto.
Thanks Deva.

Hi, great questions.
Linda-My main point about Mars and anger is that anger that is projected upon others, or the environment as the source of personal limitations typically creates a negative and destructive outcome (personal degeneration) during Mars transits because the person does not understand that the limitations/restrictions are actually a reflection of the need to move forward in life, and that it is an inner limitation that is creating the restriction towards further growth. When this anger is used constructively, or in a positive way, the person can respond to a Mars transit in a way to grow past whatever personal limitation is creating a block towards putting into motion a new evolutionary cycle. Anger that is triggered at this time that is linked with not wanting personal freedom or Independence to be limited can be used to create a new way of responding to external circumstances that are limited, or confining in some way to change those situations instead of just blowing up on another person, or blaming the outer circumstance. Anger can be used to initiate the new cycle of becoming that correlates with Mars instead of creating situations of personal degeneration self-implosion. Just as a simple example: I recently had a Mars return (natal Mars in cap/9th house), and I found myself feeling so much repressed anger coming to the surface that needed to be realeased that I become very impatient and also intolerant in ways that were inappropriate. The point within this is that there was also a desire to realease this kind of anger, and to use it in a way to be free from my own inner dynamics of emotional repression that were the cause of my intense anger at that time. I had to learn to respond to certain situations that triggered this anger in a new way that allowed personal growth to occur (not reacting in an instinctual way to the triggers of the past that created personal degeneration). Mars also correlates with fears of all sorts, and during these transits our fears can come to the surface. Mars transits offer an opportunity to break free from these fears.
Rick, yes Mars creates an instinctual desire to move forward and initiate a new cycle of becoming relative to the planet that is transiting it. I like your examples.
I will post more examples soon.

Thanks so much for your thorough explanation of how Mars can get triggered during transits or at the beginning of a new evolutionary cycle.
I experienced this myself late last year when transiting Mars moved into Capricorn joining transiting Pluto, North Node, Mercury, and all of these conjuncting my Venus. It was the beginning of a new Venus/Mars cycle. I experienced that self-implosive anger, and all the fears that go with it, and blamed it on an outside circumstance. After this sudden and shocking event, that is, releasing that anger that had been repressed, I recognized an urgent need to move forward, and so that situation was changed.
So the actual energy of Mars (in relation to natal Venus) allowed me to let go of something, begin a new venture, focus more on essentials, make new choices, change an old situation, and move beyond prior limitations. I can see how the Mars cardinal energy works in close alliance with Pluto (the Soul) in propelling us forward to meet our evolutionary needs. I have also learned from direct experience that anger arising signifies something much deeper.
Now that Mercury, Jupiter, URANUS, and (soon) Lilith have moved into ARIES, learning about Mars in transit will be very important in order to grasp the true meaning of this archetype in the bigger picture.
Looking at the planets in transit will be great for us students. Thank you so much Deva for your teaching and guidance.

Hi Deva,
Well I too have just experienced first hand exactly what you are saying. Also got Mars Cap/9th. I had been temporarily living in a flat with my girlfriend that was one of two at the back of a large house for about 5 months, and the tenant in the other was an alcoholic. He wasn't the best kind of character to be living next to, had a bit of grey heavy aura, but we all coexisted. Got back from holiday at New year in a great space, and later that evening after he'd been drinking for a few hours by himself as he usually did, he barged into our place and went beserk, screaming and shouting, totally psychotic, then started threatening violence to our cars and by implication to ourselves as well, all over something relatively trivial he'd been stewing on for weeks.
We decided then and there that we'd move, although to different places (her study needs limited where she could move to). We should have done it much earlier, just the situation was otherwise extremely convenient (apart from him being next to us it was). Within 5 days I had moved all my stuff (and it was a lot of stuff, not just household stuff but lots of landscaping materials etc, and on the 6th day woke up at my new place. My Mars return was exactly at 7:55 am of the day I woke up at the new place.
So for me the Mars transit (to Mars) attracted a huge amount of someone else's anger onto me, but it certainly mobilised me into "moving forward" (literally !) and onto another chapter in my life. And this guy was a hardened alcoholic, pretty mean and hard underneath, so we were walking on eggshells a bit (fear) as we knew he was hugely irrational (from the alcohol) and didn't know whether his threats of violence would be actualised, but weren't inclined to take the chance or give him any bait. He was an Aries chef with many sharp knives (Mars again) from work at his home and there was no knowing what would happen if he flipped again!
So we had to temporarily supress our Mars energy by not standing up to him. It took us about 6 weeks afterwards to release the effects of that via nature, nurture and emotional release structures.
Thanks Deva for such a good thread.

Thanks for input Linda and Upasika!
I would like to add another example of a Mars transit. When interpreting any transit we must be able to put it in the individual context of the natal chart. To fully understand Mars transits, then, we must understand the meaning natal Mars in the individual chart. The examples I would like to use will demonstrate how to do this.
The event that occurred for the women who had a significant Mars transit is that a wild fire burned down her house. She was left with nothing but a few possessions (her cherished guitar being one of those few possessions). Thankfully, the community reached out to her and others who had lost their house. She also had a significant Pluto transit which reflects the intensity of this event that occured.
This women is in 1st stage spiritual condition, and grew up in the lower economic class. She grew up with a disabled mother and several older brothers who had to help take care of the mother at an early age. In her natal chart she has Pluto in the 11th house forming a balsamic conjunction to Mars/Sun/Uranus. The South Node is in Taraus/8th house ruled by Venus in Virgo/12th house, North Node in Scorpio in the 2nd house conjunct the Moon. The need to liberate/decondition from pre-existing emotional patterns that are based an a negative self-image/self-worth and the need to transform dependencies upon others within relationships that are based on the need for positive feedback (Pluto in Leo the 11th house balsamic conjunction to Mars/Sun/Uranus). The need to re-empower herself from within based on validating her own inner capacities, and to re-claim her own "inner power" or strength is reflected in this natal signature. A fundamental self-reliance can be developed as she learns to validate herself from within, and her self-image and inner relationship will progressively turn from negative to positive (South Node in Taurus in the 8th house, North Node in Scorpio in the 2nd house conjunct the Moon).
In this example, Mars is in a balsamic conjunction to Pluto in Leo/11th house, and Pluto is conjunct Uranus and the Sun also in a balsamic phase. This correlates with the need to culminate an entire evolutionary cycle relative to how she has acted upon the desires reflected by Pluto, and to align her personal will and desires towards actualizing the current evolutionary intentions for the life. In this context, the need to put into motion actualizing her desires of a spiritual nature that allow personal transformation and continual evolution to manifest is reflected in these symbols. As mentioned before, attracting relationships where she gave away, or lost, her power and ability to be self-reliant created situations of being trapped or consumed by these relationships. The dynamic of guilt and the need to atone for the guilt can be seen by planetary ruler of the South Node, Venus in Virgo/12th house conjunct Mercury. Pluto/ Mars in a balsamic phase, and Virgo in the 12th house correlate with the need to act upon the need spiritually develop and merge with the Divine, and in so doing bring to resolution the emotional/psychological patterns of the past that have already been described.
At the time of the fire, Mars was in Aries in her 7th house making a tine to her natal Uranus in Leo/11th house which makes the aspects already mentioned. Pluto was also making an exact conjunction to her Moon/North Node conjunction (quite a graphic symbol of a house burn down)! At the time of the fire, she was experiencing intense difficulties in her current relationship (transiting Mars in Aries/7th house) , and was feeling an increasing desire to be free from the limitations of these kinds of relationships in general (transiting Pluto conjunct North Node/Moon conjunction), and start a new cycle of evolutionary becoming through liberating from the emotional patterns already described (Mars trine Uranus in Leo in the 11th house). Her own experience of this very intense and traumatic event was that she felt, on inner level, that the fire was symbolic (Pluto transit) of the new cycle that she wanted to initiate, and she also felt a sense of relief that the old cycle was coming to closer. She was able to objectify the inner dynamics that were creating these types of life circumstances, and to create the necessary inner changes with speed and amazing courage. In other words, in this case the Mars trine to her Uranus reflects that she was ready to initiate the necessary inner changes to allow the new evolutionary cycle to begin. She was able to use the very stressful traumatic event that occurred in a way that created forward movement and personal growth ( transiting Mars trine Uranus). With Pluto conjunct Mars she is able to accomplish a lot of growth very quickly!
God Bless

I would take a road trip with Lucy every weekend if I could but I can't and I suppose that isn't all bad: jumping back into real life on Monday morning was a struggle and here it is, Thursday, and I am still struggling.
A road trip followed by a busy week. This hurts, you guys.
On Monday, I couldn't get out of bed. Yet somehow managed a run and a trip to the grocery store before going to work. Minor miracle.
On Tuesday, I met my family for dinner. Emma graduated from college last weekend so we did the fancy dinner thing and that was lovely. Emma even brought a friend so that made her remarkably more tolerable than she would have been had she been surrounded by the family she loves to treat poorly and no outsider to be horrified by to her behavior.
I was also witness to the massacre of baby bunnies at the paws of Liz's dog. I am too traumatized to even write out the details of the whole bloodbath, which included the removal of the dead baby bunnies from the yard and a lot of internal angst. Now I can't even look at the dog. Who is a murderer.
Before work on Wednesday, I went to the funeral for a family friend. He's the oldest son in the family that my dad's family grew up with -- their kids are all the same ages at my aunts and uncles, my grandma and their grandma were best friends and high school classmates, we went to school with some of the grandkids. (How small town is that?!) Not technically family but about as close as you can get. So it was very sad. My dad and his siblings were all very, very upset. They just couldn't stop saying what a shame it was that our grandma was so alive, as she could have helped her friend get through the loss of her son just as she had helped Grandma when Uncle Rich died. And his daughter, who is Meg's age and whose mom died when she was just 4, is getting married this summer. She was so composed and handled it all so well and said "and now Mom will have a date to my wedding." It just broke my heart. Needless to say, my head wasn't in the game when I got to work.
Now it's Thursday and I was supposed to go to yoga with Grandma tonight but she cancelled on me. And I had been looking forward to that quiet hour of yoga! I guess I'll go for a run before attempting to finish up a ton of paperwork I need to complete for my summer soccer team and, if I'm lucky, remembering to fold the sheets that have been wrinkling in the drier since yesterday morning. Oh and also stress out about Mother's Day because THAT IS WHAT I DO.
Friday includes a pre-Mother's Day mother-daughter lunch date with my mom, Lucy and Lucy's mom. And a housewarming party at Meg's new digs. And more stressing about Mother's Day.
I have to work on Saturday. When I'm done, Meg and I are going to go on a grocery shopping extravaganza to get all of the necessary goodies for Mother's Day, which we're hosting at her house. There will also be the baking of a few pies and possibly the suggestion that she clean her house so that it is presentable for visitors.
Meg's definition of clean is different from my definition of clean.
Sunday brings with it two soccer games and the previously mentioned Mother's Day celebration and the secret drop of a little Mother's Day surprise for Lucy.
What it won't include is a nap, which is unfortunate.
Because I am already quite tired.

When a firefighter retires, they may get a gold watch and have a nice party, but with more than 70 years of service in New York Harbor, the Fire Fighter fireboat is not your typical retiree.
Built in 1938 and decommissioned in 2010, the 347-ton Fire Fighter was New York City's longest-serving fireboat. Having been acquired by the Fireboat Fire Fighter Museum, it was recently moved to Greenport, where it will be restored and preserved as a floating museum.
"It's a great fit for Greenport," said Ron Breuer, president of the East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation. "It's an historic landmark, and we want to maintain it and get restoration going."
The Fireboat Fire Fighter Museum, which is a New York State charted museum, acquired the boat in October of 2012. "I started sending inquiry letters to the fire department in the spring of 2010," said Charlie Ritchie, the museum's president and director. "They wanted somebody to preserve it. There are a lot of people out there who would love to turn it into a yacht or a bar, so they were definitely vetting us to see what we were going to do." Once the museum acquired the boat, the hunt was on to find a place to keep it.
"The boat was docked as reserve in the Brooklyn Navy Yard when we took it over," said Jeff Jonap, director of operations at Fireboat Fire Fighter Museum. "We asked everybody in the city, but nobody
wanted it."
After writing letters and attending meetings all over New York and Long Island, the Fireboat Fire Fighter Museum found Greenport Harbor and the Maritime Museum, where they were greeted with open arms.
"This was, by far, the most welcoming and the smoothest for us," Ritchie said. "The other places in New York City were a lot more tricky, political and expensive."
The Maritime Museum intends to add a fireboat exhibit to their collection, and move the boat to the railroad dock, which is adjacent to the museum building. "We're going to help them get established here in Greenport, run the tours for them, and help with the fundraising," Breuer said.
"It's a good place to be, because we'll get all of the traffic from the museum, the railroad, and the Jitney," Jonap said. "The first thing they'll see from the ferry is this monster."
Despite having been in active service for the better part of a century, the majority of the ship is in its original condition. "Everything on this boat is from 1938—good, bad or indifferent," said Jonap, who is a steam-engineer by trade. "It has to go into dry-dock, because the bow has to be scraped and checked for leaking rivets, and the bottom needs to be sandblasted."
The Fire Fighter is slated to go into dry-dock for a week in June, but it will be on hand for a water display in Greenport Harbor during their Memorial Day celebration.
"Right now, we do dockside tours and water displays," Ritchie said. "We don't want to take anyone on board until after we do our shipyard work, because then we'll know that things are sound."
The majority of the restoration work will be done by volunteers. "My thing is volunteering and drawing youth into working on this vessel," said Ritchie, whose background is in experiential-education and recreation. "We've worked with kids from New York City, and inside of an hour shown them how to chip paint and use a grinder. You have an unbelievable workforce in kids."
Once the boat is presentable, the museums plan to have tours, host parties and special events, and possibly use it for training purposes. "We hope to keep intact the history that's attached to New York City and 9/11," Ritchie said. "This boat is so well-loved by the people, and if we need to go back for special events in the city, then we'll do that."
"It's a running historical record of the New York City Fire Department Marine Bureau," Jonap said. "As a national historic landmark, you don't want to see it sitting in a dry dock somewhere withering away."

Topaz is a gemstone available in a rich rainbow of colors. Prized for several thousand years, all yellow gems in antiquity were called topaz. While often confused with citrine quartz (yellow) and smoky quartz (brown), they are a separate and unrelated mineral species. The most prized color of topaz is called Imperial topaz after the Russian Czars of the 1800s and features a magnificent orange body color with pinkish undertones. Topaz also comes in white, yellow, pink, purple, orange, and many popular blue tones.
Caring for your topaz jewelry is a simple process that will ensure that your gemstone maintains its beautiful sparkle. The best way to keep your gem clean is to bring it to your local Helzberg Diamonds store for a complimentary cleaning and inspection. At home, you can brighten your topaz jewelry by gentling wiping the gemstone with a jewelry polishing cloth and warm water.

Breckenridge Outfitters wins fourth Orvis endorsed Outfitter of the Year award
Breckenridge Outfitters has two big reasons to celebrate. Not only was it recently named the Orvis Endorsed Outfitter of the Year for 2013, but with this win, the fourth in the company's 20-year history, Breckenridge Outfitters becomes the most decorated Orvis outfitter in the world.
"It's pretty sweet," said owner Ned Parker. "There are hundreds and hundreds of Orvis outfitters, so to be recognized for that is very special."
This year's is the first Orvis award the store has seen under Parker's ownership. Breckenridge Outfitters won the award in 1999, 2003 and 2005 under different owners. Parker has been involved with it for more than 10 years, first as a guide, then as store manager and finally as owner.
Originally from Denver, Parker moved up to Summit County after college just for the fishing. While he didn't originally plan to become involved in the management of an outfitter, everything just fell into place.
"I absolutely love what I do," Parker said. "Loving to go to work every day is well worth it."
In addition to selling fly-fishing equipment, Parker and his employees focus very heavily on the educational and instructional aspect of the sport. They provide guided tours year-round, from two hours to overnight in length.
"It's very special to be on the water with guests teaching them how to fish and having fun with them out there," Parker said.
While Breckenridge Outfitters certainly has a loyal base of local customers, many of its clients, particularly in the summertime, come from outside the county. Of those, however, Parker believes that nearly all of them are repeat customers.
"These families are ones that have been fishing with us for 15 or 16 years now, that have their favorite guide and always come in to say hello," he said. "We build very good relationships with our customers. We try to make sure that there's a professional relationship as well as a friendship relationship."
That attitude likely is a big part of what got Breckenridge Outfitters the Orvis award. Scores for the award are based on client evaluations. Email surveys are sent out after each guide trip.
With the summer season approaching, Parker is planning to offer a free fly-fishing class at the store. Fly-fishing 101 will teach not only different styles of casts and presentation, but it includes an in-store component about flies — the various life cycles of bugs and when to use which. The class will be open to anyone and requires absolutely no fees, personal equipment or licensing.
"It takes patience," Parker said of fly-fishing. "And I understand that it's not for everybody, but it's something that everybody should try in their lifetime."
It's obvious that fly-fishing is more than just a sport for Parker. As a biologist, he has a strong interest in the ecosystem of the rivers and lakes that he frequents. He understands the various species of insects that populate them — their names, their habits, their seasons and their life cycles. His shop sells tens of thousands of flies, each of which Parker can name and describe when and where to use. He also understands the importance of environmental awareness.
"Everybody in the industry is really into preservation and conservation of the trout," Parker said. Every guided tour in Colorado, for example, is catch-and-release only. "We really need to maintain what we have before it's gone. With too many people not following the rules and taking out those fish, we need to protect what we have, watch our environment, make sure our fish stay in the rivers."
As busy as he is with the store, Parker isn't always able to get out all that often to go fishing. His main fishing season is between October and November, he said, but his extensive knowledge of the nearby waterways allows him to be successful. And so long as he's fishing, he's happy.
What he loves best about it, he said, is "the peacefulness of fly fishing, the solitude, the trying to use trickery to get fish to eat a fake fly. To go out and stand in a river and wave a stick around for a while is about as relaxing a thing that I can think of."

Dentures are simple yet effective way for patients in Aston, PA to improve the look and feel of their smile. Dentures are used by patients to replace damaged, broken missing or decayed teeth, especially when an upper, lower or full set replacement is needed. Denture wearers experience an improvement in the ability to speak clearly and chew food easily, with the added comfort of having a beautiful smile.
If you are considering dentures as an option for replacing your missing teeth, visit the denture specialist Dr. Lance R. Panarello in Aston, Pennsylvania. Are you still skeptical that dentures are the right dental prosthetic for you? Consider some of these benefits:
At Dental Health Care Associates we offer denture stabilization with dental implants.
• Aesthetic enhancement. An imperfect smile is a major cause for self-consciousness and embarrassment. Replacing missing teeth with dentures provides patients with a full set of teeth, which improves the overall look of a smile, thus increasing confidence.
• A naturally beautiful look and feel. Denture technology has improved to the point where individuals are hard pressed to tell the different between real teeth and dentures. A smile that both looks and feels natural is one of the many benefits dentures provide.
• Ease of speech. Proper pronunciation of words can sometimes be difficult when men and women are missing some or all of their teeth. Replacing gaps and holes in the teeth with dentures allows patients to speak clearly and concisely.
• Ease of chewing. Having a full set of teeth makes chewing food much easier. Whether patients get fixed or removable dentures, the ability to chew properly leads to proper digestion, which leads to an improvement in overall health.
• A lasting smile. Dentures provide patients with long lasting results when they are properly maintained. Following the guidelines set by your dentist will ensure longer lasting results when compared to those who don't. More men and women are finding that dentures are well worth the investment when it comes to the long-term aesthetic and oral health benefits.
Those in the Aston area looking to achieve a naturally beautiful smile with a safe, long lasting, cost effective treatment, contact Lance R. Panarello, DDS today for more information on denture treatments.

FAA furloughs could cause delays a local airports
More than $600 million cut from FAA budget; control towers to close
The FAA will be furloughing 15,000 air traffic controllers because of recent budget cuts.
According to the Air Traffic Controllers association these furloughs could lead to more flight delays across the country.
Today is the first working day on which budget-cutting furloughs are in effect for some 47,000 agency employees. Those workers will now have to take a day off every other week without pay.
The Federal Aviation Administration says some flights at five airports were delayed yesterday because of staffing issues.
"I've been traveling just about every month since December and I definitely am concerned that I'm going to have future problems getting delayed and getting stuck," Alisha Sutton said while waiting for a flight to San Francisco at XNA.
Kelly Johnson, the XNA regional airport director, says that XNA doesn't have FAA air traffic controllers, but the airport could still feel delays.
She says most likely flight delays from other airports with FAA air traffic controllers could trickle down to the XNA airport.
The Fort Smith regional airport could lose 10 percent of its air traffic controllers because of these furloughs.
According to CNN, travelers across the country could face flight delays due to the federal spending cut with delays between 10 to 30 minutes at major airports nationwide.
As of April 22, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) were experiencing staffing delays. Those issues pushed flights back an average of more than an hour.

There's a security upgrade that I need to apply which requires me to de-install Apache, rebuild APR (Apache Portable Runtime - used by Apache extension modules) and then re-build Apache .
So for those who don't understand techno-babble, this means that TMC will be unavailable while the above process is performed.
Should take 10 - 15 minutes. 30 tops, but only if something goes wrong. I'm going to try and get it done before I have my supper and fall asleep.
