Infographic: Sunday News Shows Ignored Obama's Climate Plan But Late-Night Comics Picked Up The Slack
You may have heard that President Obama gave a big speech last week laying out his plan to cut carbon pollution.
Sadly, you wouldn't have heard that if you were relying on the Sunday morning news shows that supposedly recap and discuss the big stories of the week. Mirthfully, David Letterman and Jay Leno spent a combined three minutes on climate, and The Daily Show on Comedy Central beat that.
I'm reminded of the timeless words of Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth
But has trouble enough of its own
In fairness to shows that air on Sunday, Melissa Harris Perry devoted a segment (video) to the President's speech, featuring Josh Fox, director of Gasland and Gasland 2, as well as Danielle Moodie-Mills, an adviser at the Center for American Progress. Fox talked about the plan's focus on natural gas and what that means for the leakage of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Moodie-Mills talked about the focus on far-off security threats that may or may not happen, versus climate change, which is happening right now.

Very sad, better news off the commedy shows. What sort of world do we live in.
I often say I get the best news from the Daily Show and Colbert report.
Any chance links could be provided to the shows for those of us who missed it?
What I Can't Understand
Joe, what I can't understand is this: (and I don't ask this as a criticism; I ask it to prompt us all to think, and in search of an explanation and some creative solutions) …
If CAP is the leading progressive think-tank and advocacy organization; if it is headquartered right there in DC and has some very impressive people and resources; if Al Gore is still around somewhere; if you and the climate movement have access to the entire scientific community and to some notable world leaders, celebs, and so forth; if there exists in the media some organizations that are at least sympathetic to progressive ideals and needs, and others that are at least somewhat so; if people in the movement even have access to the great news-comedians; if there are people with resources (such as that billionaire guy) who want climate change addressed; if this collection of people has some understanding of how to use rhetoric effectively (as you do); and if (we hope) this whole collection of folks has at least an ounce of creativity within them, somewhere; THEN why the heck is it the case that even after Obama gives his first speech on climate change in a zillion years, the major media practically overlook it?? What about the MSNBC and NBC folks? What about ABC (Disney; I used to work for Disney, and if there's one organization that's gonna have problems when climate change gets bad, it's Disney!)?
So I'm curious, where is this whole collection of people and resources in the climate movement going wrong, that we can't even get some of the key folks in the media to cover this? Maybe — probably — we're too boring? Have we thought of that? And maybe we aren't pushing at the right buttons hard enough? But the immense failure ought to cause us to pause and think, at least. Right?
Your thoughts? If you had to identify the one or two chief reasons why this is the case (reasons that don't simply blame the other side; that's not the question that I'm asking), what would they be?
Thanks, Jeff
The Sunday morning news shows, like most of the mainstream media, consider climate change to be environmental news. For them environmental news comes way down the list of important topics. Way below S Court decisions, Snowden and NSA leaks, NSA spying, immigration reform, presidential trips, Kerry's work between Israel and Palestine, Afghanistan, and any other stories they THINK the public is more likely to be interested in.
How is 1 minute 33 seconds two different lengths in the chart above?
I will acknowledge that the Fox affiliate in the Bay Area (KTVU – Oakland) ran a major story on this and, surprise, surprise, used a graphic that showed the effect a sea level rise on the Sacramento / San Joaquin Delta. Hint: It extends San Francisco Bay all the way past Stockton.
I just question whether the placement between two major supreme court decisions was an attempt to bury the story, since DOMA and Voting Rights Act rulings were going to soak up all the bandwidth.
And then there was the Weekly Address …
Obama Address: Confronting the Growing Threat of Climate Change
I think the princess tower would look even better with solar panels draping the sunny side. The tram way would be greater with a awning of solar panels as would the parking lots with rain covering of solar panels. Why there are lots of places Disney could put solar panels. And once they put one over Mickey why Minny would want one to cover her from the hot summer sun too. One of the things about solar panels for shade is that they are shading the underside of the panels where the customers would be walking to the next exhibit. Seems like a way to take care of Disney and to show concern for the patrons as well.
The News Media- Mainstream, still cannot cognitively realize that the climate is now 'shot' and the rest of this century it will become progressively worse. What this will do to the fabric of this culture is unknown- but it is likely to be highly disruptive.
But wait we need to show an Ad for Trucks and SUV's, and how great Exxon is combating climate change. The Media will not 'get it' until we are over the abyss.
I think where you are going wrong is believing that CNN, CBS, NBC, FOX, and ABC are media. They are not.
They are huge corporations pushing their own corporate agenda while masquerading as media. They are driven only by profit and do not care a wit about informing the public.
So this story was actually not ignored by the "media".
Actually they are news shows pretending to be comedy.
It is because Stewart and Colbert are more intelligent and have better copy writers than their competition.
Nonstop coverage of the Zimmerman trial.
It cannot continue long though. At just .8C it's getting scary out there.
Maybe it is just as well that the Sunday news shows didn't cover Obama's climate plan. Aren't people confused enough without hearing George Will's opinion of a plan to address a problem that Will doesn't believe exists. The Democrats versus Republicans formats on these shows could only lead to pointless arguments over whether global warming is a caused by humans or is due to natural variability. Nothing would have been gained.
BBHY, thanks for the comment. Consider this: The question is not really whether CNN, NBC, ABC, and so forth are "media" or are big corporations. That's just semantics. They are both, of course, and yes, they are driven mostly by big-corporation-type goals: ad revenues, and thus ratings, and so forth. So the real question is this: Knowing that they are driven by those things, why aren't we smart enough, creative enough, and persistent enough to get them to cover the story? HOW can we get them to cover the story, given that we claim to understand the story and we presumably know enough to understand what excites and drives the media/corporations? That's what we ought to think about. Cheers, Jeff
From CBS
U.S. wildfires increasing because of Climate Change – Arizona Chief Firefighter
Scott Pelley of CBS Evening news did a very interesting report on the evening news with the US government's top fire official w 30 years experience fighting fires. When asked point blank about climate change his answer was clear – fires are bigger and more frequent.
It's for this same reason I thought that Shawn Otto's Presidential Science Debates, calling for live TV debate on science between the nominees in '08 and '12, was an obviously great idea (we want the issues acknowledged before the public and stands taken) and at the same time a dubious one (the public would get half-truths, misinformation and crafted prevarication from politically biased non-experts running for office).
Likewise with the MSM. We desperately need coverage, but not just any coverage.
We saw what happened with Al Gore's attempt to compete by creating Current TV; it had no chance in Cable world where it was just another channel with a left-only audience. Al Jazeera owns it now. Established MSM news sources are still where the eyeballs are, and where percieved political importance of issues is determined, social media notwithstanding.
But Otto had it right in many ways, first of all by creating a major event that would be irresistible to mainstream media for coverage, but with the content originating not with them but with the science community itself. This is how we need to be thinking and attempting to lead in the climate coverage war, as opposed to ragging and raging on about media falsifications and moral blindness which we in fact have the power to counter.
The Science Debates: "the largest political initiative in the history of American science, the 125-million-strong Science Debate 2008, which Barack Obama and John McCain participated in, marking the first time in history endorsed presidential candidates laid out science policies in detail before the election. The initiative made over 800 million media impressions.[2] The campaign was co-sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Council on Competitiveness, PBS Nova, and NOW on PBS, and its signers include over 170 major American universities and other leading organizations, over 100 university presidents, and dozens of Nobel laureates."
– Wikipedia
The candidates declined the TV debates, but they DID submit detailed positions in writing, an acknowledgement both of the issues and the authority of science to question politicians on their beliefs & policies.
All the realities around the science that are now mired in ignorance and ambivalence have to be resolved decisively before the public can become a force in climate politics. Scientists are the only ones who can make this happen, so it follows they need the opportunities, the venues. For this they need support. They are not PR strategists.
The merely reactionary MSM will not be providing this service but media-savvy climate leaders and institutions could, and should, ASAP. Everybody talks about The Media, incessantly!!!, but few believe we can do anything about it. Not productive.
I'm afraid we will get nothing out of the MSM that will help in the crisis we are facing, but we already know why and I'm sure nothing will change until their studios are either underwater or taken out by a tornado or have no power because of overheated transmission lines, never the less the message about climate change will be told. The only drawback is it will probely
The MSM are primarily organs of social control, propaganda apparatuses whose prime function is the distortion of reality to suit the interests of their hyper-rich owners, and to relentlessly brainwash the rabble. Having the serfs realise that they are, indeed, within decades of unimaginable catastrophe, possibly extinction, would not be to our Masters' advantage. Profit is inconsequential. The MSM will be as heavily cross-subsidised by the rest of the Business elite as required.
I doubt that Will is that stupid. I'd say that he knows the truth, but denies it for ideological reasons-nothing more, nothing less.
It doesn't matter what fate befalls the MSM, studios or personnel. What determines their every move is their ownership.
Oh, and I was just having the best time visualizing corrective action to the energy deficit. You know that one could help to correct that situation by suggesting certain large users install more solar and wind resources. Why in that way the user takes control of the situation by producing their own energy. It would be a grand adventure to go to Disney and see their meter running backward.
An climate change denial and information suppression is obvious conspiracy.
Flat-Earther Protest: Climate Change More Credible than Round Earth
Bobby L
You spoke the truth. The Obama speech would be ridiculed and the Obama haters would have another reason to hate him.
"why aren't we smart enough, creative enough, and persistent enough to get them to cover the story? "
That is like walking to Dunkin Donuts and asking for a steak. They are not going to give you a steak. It is not what they do. No matter how smart you are, how persistent you are, no matter how much you beg they are not going to give you a steak.
Sounds like a winning strategy given the degree of dissociation and superficiality in your culture. There's more than one way to stuff a duck, ME
"It would be a grand adventure to go to Disney and see their meter running backward." Now that's a great way to summarize a great idea. Alas, after working at Disney for a long time — in the theme park part of things, and on new developments and "guest experiences" — although I loved it there, I must say the following: there is a very good chance that someone there has already had that idea, of course, but there is almost an equally good chance that they've decided for some business-oriented reason not to do it, or at least not as quickly as they ought to. That said, I do think it's a great idea, and it could be done in myriad fun and "wow" ways. Cheers, Jeff
BBHY, I get your point, but in my view it's narrow and fatalistic thinking. There are undoubtedly ways; we just have to muster the creativity to find them and the will to do them. And actually, the first part (the creativity) is the far-easier part, and not really a problem if we put our minds to it. The last part — the will (and the cooperation on our parts) — is the harder part. In any case, thanks for the comment. Cheers, Jeff
Intelligent copy writers get selected out of mainstream media news programming, especially when it comes to global warming.
The fossil fuel companies have hijacked Congress and our media companies. It's up to us to stand up to them.
I would sure love to hear an NPR program which did climate related news for a 1/2 hr. a day.
Advertisers on media outlets that ignore global warming should be boycotted. Nothing else will work, since network executives cannot be shamed.
Citizens United handed API an additional arrow for its quiver. The group could now funnel undisclosed corporate donations directly to campaign entities. Among the oil executives leading API at the time — and still to this day—was Tofiq Al-Gabsani, a registered lobbyist for the Saudi government. Al-Gabsani is the chief executive of Saudi Refining Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, the government-owned Saudi oil giant better known as Aramco.
Aramco, by means of its US subsidiary, is understood by insiders to be one of the top donors to API, where, according to the Washington Post, membership dues for the largest firms can be as much as $20 million a year. API has roughly 400 member firms, but only a small group of oil and gas industry CEOs sit on its board of directors, which oversees the trade association's major political campaigns, according to API state business filings and two former API executives. Alongside the top officials of such major American firms as ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips, one of those directors for the past three years has been Al-Gabsani.
US law still bans foreign corporations from participating directly in elections. But after Citizens United, trade associations like API—whose influential members include foreign corporations—are free to spend as they wish, unburdened by disclosure requirements. And these groups have taken full advantage of their new freedoms. While other campaign committees, from labor unions to Super PACs, face strict transparency rules, trade associations enjoy unparalleled power to covertly manipulate elections using corporate money. http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7w8k/american-petroleum-institute-keep-america-moving
"HOW can we get them to cover the story.."?
My comments below, @#10, are relevant, if too long winded. We get them to cover the story by strategic media planning, just like the big boys do. We set down goals, identify targets & actions (as Tom Steyer, @350, League of Conservation Voters,etc. do). That takes collaboration and organization. We launch a national climate PR campaign that's formalized & funded, linked closely with the effective but Balkanized campaigns already working. We spend whatever it takes and do whatever needs to be done to get the most serious of messages to the public directly from the mouths of climate scientists, business and movement leaders, et al. We start now and persist, creating news that the MSM can NOT avoid covering.
This is exactly the opposite approach from depending on the President to carry the day, leaving our news-making advantage to happenstance events, and bitching about corporate ownership of the news stream. The question is not whether we can turn it around, the question is who is the "we" we're talking about? I could name names.
"HOW can we get them to cover the story". If you were in charge of Production at one of the networks, what incentives/motivations/pressures would you need in order to 'cover the story'?
Brian, pls see my comment "To Brian, Superman1, and Mulga", below.
Superman1, pls see my comment "To Brian, Superman1, and Mulga", below.
MulgaM, pls see my comment "To Brian, Superman1, and Mulga", right below (to come soon).
Unless I hastily read the story and all the comments, I would point out that while the overwhelming news media was derelict, MSNBC did provide very good coverage, especially Chris Hayes, but others as well.
To Brian, Superman1, and Mulga:
Thanks for your comments. Here are some quick responses that are best understood when viewed together.
Brian — I'll read your comments below more carefully, but in general I definitely agree that there are ways that we (the movement) should be able to gain more media attention and coverage, if we are creative and if we try.
Superman1, there are a number of levers that will (or should) work with the media, at least with the portions of the media that (presumably) should, in theory, be open to the message. Again, the main ingredients are creativity, a bit of cooperation (within the movement), and most importantly, actually trying. The media are motivated by certain things, of course, and an understanding of what those things are (I won't go into them here, but they are no secret, and rather obvious) can help the movement gain coverage via some hosts on some channels.
MulgaM, you have the most interesting question, but it is of the type that shouldn't hold us up from trying: Is it true that the media companies aren't even that interested in the pure-profit aspect of the matter, but instead are only interested in carrying "the message" that the supposed overlords want carried, such that no matter what hook is used (even things that would enhance ratings, for example) there will be no possible way to gain the coverage needed by the climate movement? Perhaps, but I don't think it goes that far. And in any case, deliberating about that sort of question is fruitless, not much of a good use of time. We gotta start somewhere.
So (to all), what brings us together here is nothing other, and perhaps nothing more, than the facts that we are all concerned about the climate problem and we all ARE HERE for our various reasons. In my case, and I assume in yours too, we are all doing whatever we can outside of our participation here to help out in the climate movement, its various events and initiatives and so forth. So, given that context, we can and should ask ourselves, What is possible and potentially helpful to do HERE, in this forum, as ONE aspect of our efforts and activism? To me, THAT is A Question.
(And heck, only two of the four of us aren't using anonymous names, so how would it even be possible to cooperate on some larger, more ambitious initiative together anyway, other than something that could be done here on CP and by means of our identities as they are?)
So then, that is why I'm suggesting and proposing that we — and as many others here as possible, but it has to start somewhere — all try to encourage and urge Joe, Ryan, CP, and CAP to do what they can, and to do what it takes, to begin to vet would-be Democratic nominees (for president) regarding their positions and (demonstrated) willingness to lead regarding climate change. Now THAT is something that we — the four of us — can begin to do here, and here is the appropriate forum for doing it. Do you begin to see the actionable nature and good "fit" (with this forum and our abilities) of that idea, that initiative?
To be clear (and to avoid the need to address these sorts of critiques), I am not at all saying that this is the only or even the very best idea for an initiative to take place here, but it is one very good one, and doable.
Thus the concrete question — and I like concrete questions, more and more these days — is will you folks join in the comment-based effort to draw Joe's and Ryan's and CP's and CAP's attention to the immense and time-sensitive need to begin vetting would-be Democratic nominees for president regarding climate change, so that we don't get to the point where the party has already (in effect) nominated Hillary Clinton before we even know (with any real credibility, clarity, or believability) whether she's the right and best person to address climate change and while there is still plenty of time to get much better candidates involved?
It's a concrete question. (I wouldn't worry about offending our hosts; they, like all of us, need some encouragement and "pushing". And, in any case, part of the point is to at least generate and have that dialogue.)
In any case, thanks for your attention and consideration,
Jeff Huggins wrote: "why aren't we smart enough, creative enough, and persistent enough to get them to cover the story?"
We aren't rich enough.
Every weekday morning, I listen to NPR's Morning Edition (a.k.a. the "liberal media") give fawning, obsequious, unctuous thanks to the American Petroleum Institute, America's Natural Gas Alliance, and various fossil fuel corporations for their financial support, while reading their bumper sticker slogan propaganda lines on air — every 15 minutes or so.
And the situation with commercial for-profit mass media is vastly worse.
When 350.org has the money to run as many prime time TV commercials as ExxonMobil, and can afford to lavish as much money on NPR as the American Petroleum Institute's "Vote For Energy" election propaganda campaign did in 2012, then maybe the corporate media will notice how "smart, creative and persistent" we are.
Until then, they are just doing what they are paid to do, and the pro-fossil fuel agenda is a huge part of the corporate propaganda that they hammer the American people with, 24×7.
An excellent idea, which is why such 'secondary boycotts' were outlawed, some years ago, here in Oz, by the Howard regime, a real insane asylum of rabid denialism. Aimed at the evil trade unionists, but fit for purpose to crush 'Green extremists', too. Moreover they are mobilising 'Anti-Discrimination' laws to attack boycotts, starting with the BDS campaign to aid the Palestinians, being relentlessly attacked by the Murdoch sewer as 'antisemitism'. The Bosses know well how to use the 'rule of law' to kick heads. Still it is a very good idea, and I never buy anything I see advertised, anywhere.
This is likely a great waste of my time and yours because, as we all know here at CP, we are window watchers on our future.
MS NBC is airing the entire Zimmerman trail while Egypt is about to tear itself another rift in its civil society.
Who are the decision makers at MSNBC and what is their direct phone number and email.If CP cannot provide that to us then we are dupes.
I'll start with Chris Matthews Shot and demand why I should tune in again because he and his producers bagged Egypt.
If we, you and me, cannot get direct access to media decision makers at the media outlets then we are less than useless.
Joe, we need, we must have, means to wage our complaints to the bastards who control our news.
I am going to keep posting this because I am on a crusade.
Hi John,
I am in agreement with your "crusade" — that is, to press and prompt the media folks who should be covering climate change to cover it, and well.
(For more context, see my Comment number 3, titled 'What I Can't Understand'.)
I also think, as another top priority (and a "crusade" of mine), that we need to begin vetting would-be Democratic nominees for president, ASAP, regarding their concrete and credible positions on and degrees of commitment to addressing climate change.
In addition, I think that CP and CAP could and should be playing much greater roles aimed at those two aims.
If you agree with those three points, perhaps you and I could agree that we should both make "crusades" out of all three aims. Indeed, they are highly related. All is connected to all else, and these three interrelated aims are all central to what it will take for the climate movement to become more effective.
So, any comments? What do you think?
(By the way, if you don't mind my asking, are you one of the numerous John McCormicks described on Wikipedia, and if so, which one? Not that it matters to my question about crusades, but just so I have a slightly better idea of who I'm writing to.)
In any case …
I think if CBS was doing a good job they would have put that question to a climate scientist. How could a fire official possibly be expected to provide a meaningful answer? That is a scientific question.
Fireman is pointing out that the meaning is in the fire- bigger and more powerful. People can understand fireman's point of view. It is good for fireman to say a viewpoint that affects the firemen who attempt to stop fires from harming and affects society. Scientists are probably quite involved in the fire suppression efforts.
Hello Jeff,
This thread is about to be given to the archives. We can keep the conversation going on any and all new threads. Off topic need not apply when we are trying to corral the horses.
So much talent and passion among us. So, as you keep asking: what should we be doing right.
I printed our two comments and will sharpen my focus on your points.
You want to know who makes the decisions at MSNBC, call the CEO of Comcast. ABC, call Disney. You think they will listen to anything said here. Of course not. We are in for a long long road that may not end well.
Jeff, I base my opinion on Chomsky and Herman's 'Manufacturing Consent' and Alex Carey's 'Taking the Risk out of Democracy'. I also read widely in the non-business owned media, and can tell propaganda from disinterested pursuit of facts. I don't believe in absolute truth, just the closest possible approximations to it. I came to the same conclusions as Chomsky, Herman, Carey and those others they quote, on my own, long ago, so I was fully prepared to accept the idea that the MSM is primarily a propaganda system, designed to protect elite rule by brainwashing the populace to accept, even cherish, a social and economic dispensation radically inimical to their and their children's interests. I could be wrong, and have no trouble changing my mind when I become better informed, but this opinion has only hardened over the years.

Cloud Formation and the Possible Significance of Charge for Atmospheric Condensation and Ice Nuclei

Cloud formation in the atmosphere is related to the presence of water vapour, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN). Ionisation in the atmosphere is caused by a variety of sources, but the contribution from cosmic rays is always present and is modulated by the solar cycle. Methods of investigating the variability in ionisation are described. The mechanisms proposed by which (1) ionisation could influence cloud formation, and (2) by which changes to the CCN and IN could occur are discussed. Direct formation of sulphate CN is conceivable in atmospheric air by radioactivity, and charging of molecular clusters leads to greater collisions rates than for neutral clusters. Modification of the ice nucleation efficiency of aerosol could also have atmospheric effects through latent heat release. However in both cases definitive atmospheric experimental work is lacking and therefore any link between solar variability and clouds remains unproven.

The category of $\mathcal{O}_X$ modules on a scheme $X$ has enough injectives, every sheaf can be inbedded in an injective sheaf. Now if I take a quasi-coherent sheaf, is this hull again quasi-coherent, and how does one go about proving this? I did not find this fact in Hartshorne.
It is an exercise in Hartshorne that every quasi-coherent sheaf in a noetherian scheme can be embedded in an injective quasi-coherent sheaf (see Hartshorne, Chapter III, exercise 3.6).
EDIT As Brian points out below, this doesn't answer the question since the author is looking for an injective object in the category of $O_X$-modules that is quasi-coherent. END-EDIT
See Chapter II.7 in Residues and Duality for more details (including ``general nonsense'' about injective hulls).
EDIT2 In particular, Theorem II.7.18 seems to be very close to what you are looking for. END-EDIT2

All Rise...
Judge Jennifer Malkowski walked down the right back alley and found the limited edition Care Bear she'd been searching for.
Editor's Note
Our review of Sin City, published October 31st, 2005, is also available.
The Charge
"Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything."
* Note: Images are taken from the standard definition DVD release of Sin City and do not reflect the picture quality of this Blu-ray Edition.
Opening Statement
Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's co-directed Sin City became an instant classic, of a sort, when it hit theaters in 2005. Based on Miller's gritty noir comics of the same name, the big-screen version got an eye-popping CGI treatment from Rodriguez, who impressed everyone with his tenacious loyalty to the source material even as he translated it to a flashy new medium. While fans are still waiting for the supposed sequel, they could whet their appetites with the movie's first Blu-ray treatment. But with a fully-loaded DVD version already available, is there enough that's new or better here to justify the upgrade?
Facts of the Case
Sin City is a collage of four stories set in the title area—actually named Basin City—from Miller's comic book series. The three meatier stories are bookended by a smaller vignette called "The Customer is Always Right" about a hitman, The Ladykiller (Josh Hartnett, Pearl Harbor), hired to provide a strange kind of mercy that only a city as harsh as this one could sell.
"The Hard Goodbye" begins with a puzzling murder of a beautiful woman that puts her most recent lover, the monstrous Marv (Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler), on the case to find her killer. On parole and on psychiatric medication, Marv has to keep his head while throwing a lot of punches to track down a sinister serial killer (Elijah Wood, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) and the person pulling his strings.
The sadistic kills of "The Hard Goodbye" give way to more melee-style action in "The Big Fat Kill" where a tough guy having a bad day, Dwight (Clive Owen, Closer), squares off against a violent drunk (Benicio Del Toro, Traffic) and goes on a very gruesome wild goose chase. He's doing it all to protect women—namely his girlfriend Shellie (Brittany Murphy, 8 Mile) and his ex-lover Gail (Rosario Dawson, Rent), who runs an army of ass-kicking sex workers.
Sin City closes with its moodiest and most serious story, "That Yellow Bastard." Here an uncompromisingly moral cop, Hartigan (Bruce Willis, The Fifth Element), has sacrificed his career and his freedom to protect a kidnapped child, Nancy, who grows up into a sweet and tough exotic dancer at age 19 (Jessica Alba, The Fantastic Four). It's at this point that the two reunite to fend off "that yellow bastard" (Nick Stahl, In the Bedroom) who kidnapped Nancy as a child and is after her again.
The Evidence
For the right kind of viewer, Sin City's got a lot to love. Miller boils it down to guys in trenchcoats, hot babes, and fast cars—but I think we could safely add arresting visuals, plenty of action and gore, dark humor, and a surprisingly poetic script. The movie's praises have been sung pretty thoroughly in the past four years, so I'll keep that portion of the review short and focus more on what this specific Blu-ray release has to offer.
From the opening line, "She shivers in the wind like the last leaf on a dying tree," we can tell we're about to sink our teeth into a juicy noir script, and Miller's writing delivers throughout. He does more than just throw in some key terms like "dame," instead serving up a densely packed trio of interior monologues that have a real depth and even an epic quality to them. The spoken dialogue can be great, too. Just listen when Marv growls out: "This is blood for blood and by the gallons. This is the old days, the bad days, the all or nothing days. They're back." The line pumps us up for the action ahead, but it also rings out sadly as the strained hope of simple warrior out of place in a corrupt and complex world.
I'd imagine that every sighted person on the planet would be impressed by the striking look of the movie, with its hard-lit black and white aesthetic, its powerful framing, and its iconic comic-style backgrounds, where Rodriguez uses the most cutting-edge technology of the present to transport us back to a classic film noir past. He's got some beautifully detailed backgrounds on display in Sin City, but he's also not afraid to scale it back to the stark minimalism of Miller's comic in other sections. The same good judgment is shown with cinematography, where we get a healthy alternation between keeping the camera totally still to get the contemplative comic book style framing, and adding in tracks, pans, crane shots, etc. to emphasize movement and action—which comics do with different tools. These kinds of creative decisions make Sin City a formidable fusion of the two mediums, drawing on the best of each seamlessly.
Even the acting in Sin City is better than you'd expect, considering the players had to trade immersive and gritty noir sets for a big green room where they had to pretend to be in a rain-soaked back alley. Aided by Rodriguez's smooth editing and audio, they keep things pretty believable. Mickey Rourke is a stand-out as Marv, maintaining his balance of grit and humor, displaying his sadism while keeping our sympathy. I guess the folks who raved about his "comeback" in The Wrestler somehow missed this fantastic performance. Del Toro also shines as the loathable Jackie Boy, keeping his gravely voice at a low drone that suggests both intoxication and an other-worldly creepiness. Some in small roles also do great work, including Hartnett and Alexis Bledel (The Gilmore Girls), who plays delightfully against her appealing girl-next-door type as the blue-eyed sex worker who taunts and teases Jackie Boy. There are a few players here who get a little too into the noir style, though, and come off too campy for my tastes (and, I'd argue, for the tone of the material). Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs) is one, with his small role as Hartigan's partner, and Murphy is another. As for Jessica Alba…I honestly can't see past the insane hotness of her cowgirl dance to tell you whether she acts well in this movie or not. If you're into insane hotness, you won't have any complaints.
All told, Sin City is unbelievably good—one of my favorites in the past few years, and a fantastic neo-noir for genre fans. If you don't own it yet, this Blu-ray needs a spot in your collection. In case, however, you already have the single or double-disc DVD release, let's get down to the upgrading question now. My short answer for whether or not the upgrade is worth it would be: yes if you have the single-disc DVD, probably not if you have the double-disc edition.
For image and sound quality, of course the Blu-ray version can't be beat. The picture here is so sharp that Marv would need to pull out those razor-wire gloves to handle it! That sharpness looks gorgeous with the black and white, which maintains its high contrast very well. And the selective uses of color—Goldie's lustrous hair, Becky's brilliant blue eyes, Dwight's shiny red convertible—benefit from the disc's excellent saturation. The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track sounds pretty great, with a couple of nicely booming explosions and the pleasant sound of empty shell casings clattering all around the audience. I particularly enjoyed the audio work on the three protagonists' interior monologues, which sound so rich and intimate that it's like they're playing right inside your head. Once in a while, the audio betrays the all-indoor shooting of this mostly-outdoor story in an irritating way. When Marv and Wendy zip around a winding hillside highway in a convertible as the camera swoops overhead, for example, the audio makes it sound like they're chatting over coffee in a neighboring room. These are very small problems that detract only a bit from the atmosphere. Those compliments aside, this movie already looked and sounded great on either of the standard DVDs that have been available for a few years. It seems to me that only the most attuned and tech-focused viewers would greatly appreciate that extra notch of image and sound quality that this Blu-ray provides. In particular, I've most appreciated Blu-ray's ability to display rich color since I've had my player—and there's only intermittent color in Sin City, so that advantage only goes so far.
The special features department is where Sin City (Blu-ray) far exceeds the single-disc DVD because this Blu-ray release is packed with goodies! Significantly, though, it doesn't add much that wasn't already on the double-disc (and subtracts some, oddly). The single-disc DVD only had a short making-of featurette (which appears in a recut form here on the Blu-ray), but I'll indicate which of these features are lifted from the double-disc DVD in my breakdown of the following Blu-ray extras:
Disc One
• Cine-Explore Version (Blu-ray exclusive)
• Two Directors' Commentary Tracks (also on the double-disc
• Audience Reaction Track from an Austin Screening (also on the
double-disc DVD)
Disc Two
• Recut Versions (also on double-disc DVD)
• Kill 'Em Good: Interactive Comic Book (Blu-ray exclusive)
• How it Went Down: Convincing Frank Miller to Make the Film (6
minutes) (also on double-disc DVD)
• Special Guest Director: Quentin Tarantino (7 minutes) (also on
double-disc DVD)
• A Hard Top with a Decent Engine: The Cars of Sin City (8
minutes) (also on double-disc DVD)
• Booze, Broads and Guns: The Props of Sin City (11 minutes)
(also on double-disc DVD)
• Making the Monsters: Special Effects Make-Up (9 minutes) (also
on double-disc DVD)
• Trenchcoats and Fishnets: The Costumes of Sin City (8 minutes)
(also on double-disc DVD)
• 15-minute Flic School (12 minutes) (also on double-disc DVD)
• The All Green Screen Version (12 minutes) (also on double-disc
• The Long Take (18 minutes) (also on double-disc DVD)
• Sin City: Live in Concert (9 minutes) (also on double-disc
• 10-minute Cooking School (7 minutes) (also on double-disc
• Theatrical and Teaser Trailers (also on double-disc DVD)
As you can see, the vast majority of these are sloppy seconds from the double-disc DVD version, with the Cine-Explore Version being the only worthwhile new feature. Plus, one of the double-disc features—an interactive guide to the interlocking characters and places in Sin City, with commentary from Miller—has for some reason not been included here. That's why I'd suggest all but the biggest fans can stick with that double-disc DVD, while those without a copy or with only the single-disc edition should pick this one up.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
I have only one real complaint about Sin City, but it's a hefty one: this material, both the comic and the movie, is not too nice to the ladies. Just look at the telling wording of one of the featurettes: "Booze, Broads and Guns: The Props of Sin City." I suspect the mini-rant I'm about to go on matters little to many of Sin City's male chauvinist fans (perhaps including Miller himself)—but for the girls among us and the more thoughtful boys, let me air a few brief grievances.
WARNING: A few spoilers ahead.
The women of Sin City are tough, without a doubt. But pretty much all of them end up needing protection from men who are about ten times tougher. Nancy is a bit more than a damsel in distress, but just a bit, and she's definitely in need of rescuing. Wendy is vengeful and spirited, but Marv punches her out with a swat to shield her innocent, feminine self from the violence he's about to do. And the sex workers of Old Town? Despite being an army of badasses, they apparently need Dwight to come take charge of their forces and save the day. Plus, Marv proves them oblivious and incompetent in his interrogation scene. Even the ultra-competant, deadly Miho ends up taking order from Dwight, never saying a word or expressing a thought or desire of her own.
When you see how much skin the ladies show in Sin City, you start to suspect that the women are tough in Sin City just because Frank Miller finds tough women hotter than not-tough women. I'm gay, so I do enjoy some of the T&A here myself, but I just wish it was paired with more respect and substance for these characters. None of our protagonists have very enlightened ideas about the opposite sex, which, even if it's in character, gets awfully grating after enough lines like these:
Marv: "She's a dyke, but God knows why. With that body of hers she
could have any man she wants."
The shot that really kills me here, though, is the one of all the Old Town ladies shooting down into an alley from the rooftops. Never have I seen a more pathetic attempt to make women look badass; from the way these characters shoot, you might get confused and think you're watching a low-budget porno. And it should have fallen on Rodriguez and Miller to fix this problem—to hire actresses who could do these movements convincingly, to train these actresses to do so, or maybe just to give them costumes that would be a bit more practical and believable for a battle scene. This shot to me says it all about this directing teams priorities when it comes to their portrayal of women.
All the guys in Sin City are on an endless quest to demonstrate their burly masculine efficacy, and there's a certain amount of male insecurity that shines through here. If you doubt it, ask yourself if you've ever seen another movie with this much castration anxiety! I didn't bother to actually count the number of injuries to or threats against male genitalia in Sin City, but it's a high number!
Closing Statement
Aside from the above criticism, Sin City is fantastic. It's a treat on every level—writing, visuals, sound, and even acting. This Blu-ray is near-perfect, though an unnecessary upgrade for those who already own the near-perfect 2-disc DVD edition.
Thank goodness for Robert Rodriguez who had the drive and the talent to make this project happen, and thank goodness for his humility in the face of Miller's excellent source material, which makes it to the big screen unscathed and even truly enhanced. As Rodriguez puts it, "How did [co-directing] work with Frank? Well, we both had something in common: he loved his material and I loved his material."
The Verdict
Not guilty…probably the only time that verdict has ever been handed down in Sin City.

WASHINGTON (AP) – For three decades, the U.S. middle class enjoyed a rare financial advantage over the wealthy: lower mortgage rates.
Now, even that perk is fading away.
Most ordinary homebuyers are paying the same or higher rates than the fortunate few who can afford much more.

The last time the Memphis river gauge was this high, Memphis was a much different place. In 1937 when the Mississippi River at Memphis topped 48.7 feet, Mud Island was really an island with no levee connecting it to the city and the Wolf River flowing between it and the city proper. Parts of the city were still rural as was the county outside Memphis. Today's suburban development was a long way off, and Millington was still a few years away from getting the Naval Air Station.
State Systems Inc., along with the company president Bob McBride, has experienced explosive growth and seen many changes within the protective services industry in the Mid-South over the past quarter of a century. The company celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

well, what can i say? it is just too time consuming!
im left in.....confusion... :-?
Yeah I know what you mean. After 2 weeks of messing with it I finally fixed all the problems I was having with the install and just the other day finished replacing Mandrake with it. So far I'm loving it, emerge is the greatest thing ever! I screwed up and didn't make a big enough root partition and had to copy all the directories over to a backup partition and back and that caused me to only be able to log in Gnome as root but that was my fault not Gentoo's. I'm going to be upgrading my system drastically in the not to distant future so I'll probably do a total re-install then, but for now I'll just stick to being logged on as root all the time. Hopefully I wont accidently delete my kernel :lol: So yeah Gentoo's great, stick with it. I learned a lot about linux from installing it and it's worth all the BS in the end...
I have used linux many years but when i installed Gentoo ivé learned alot, yes it took a a couple of hours to get it up and 2days to compile all KDE packets...bit now its just so SUPER great.
Gentoo and emerge rules for the moment i think

What I am trying to accomplish to to get financial data in my Flex Datagrid to be color-coded--green if it's positive; red if it's negative. This would be fairly straightforward if the column I want colored was part of the dataProvider. Instead, I am calculating it based on two other columns that are part of the dataProvider. That would still be fairly straightforward because I could just calculate it again in the ItemRenderer, but another part of the calculation is based on the value of a textBox. So, what I think I need to be able to do is send the value of the textBox to the custom ItemRenderer, but since that value is stored in the main MXML Application, I don't know how to access it. Sending it as a parameter seems like the best way, but perhaps there's another.
Here is the current code for my ItemRenderer:
package {
import mx.controls.Label;
import mx.controls.listClasses.*;
public class PriceLabel extends Label {
private const POSITIVE_COLOR:uint = 0x458B00 // Green
private const NEGATIVE_COLOR:uint = 0xFF0000; // Red
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
/* Set the font color based on the item price. */
setStyle("color", (data.AvailableFunding >= 0) ? NEGATIVE_COLOR : POSITIVE_COLOR);
(data.AvailableFunding doesn't exist)
So does anyone know how I would go about accomplishing this?

Proponents of concealed carry say that criminals are less likely to attack someone they believe to be armed. They cite the 2nd Amendment's "right of the people to keep and bear arms," and argue that most adults who legally carry a concealed gun are law-abiding and do not misuse their firearms.
Opponents of concealed carry argue that increased gun ownership leads to more gun crime and unintended gun injuries. They contend that concealed handguns increase the chances of arguments becoming lethal, and that society would be safer with fewer guns on the street, not more.
Categories of Permits
State regulations on concealed carry fall into four categories. The first is "no-issue," which does not allow citizens to carry a concealed handgun. The second category is "may-issue," which grants concealed carry permits at the discretion of local authorities. The third category is "shall-issue," which requires police to issue concealed carry permits as long as the applicant meets certain minimum requirements such as a minimum age, no prior felony conviction, and no recent commitments to a mental institution. The fourth category is "unrestricted carry," where no permit is required to carry a concealed handgun. [48]
In 1813 Kentucky and Louisiana passed the first laws prohibiting the concealed carrying of deadly weapons. [36] By 1850 most Southern states had prohibited concealed carry in an attempt to reduce high murder rates. [20] In the 1880s, non-Southern states began restricting the concealed carry of weapons. [37] After WWI, the focus of gun control efforts switched from the state to the federal level. Congress imposed an excise tax on weapons in 1919 and prohibited the shipping of handguns through the US postal system in 1927. In 1934 the federal government began regulating possession of weapons with the National Firearms Act. [38] "May-issue" laws were dominant in the post-World War II period.
NRA Influence
In 1989 the National Rifle Association (NRA) launched a nationwide campaign to increase the number of states with "shall-issue" laws. At the time nine states had such laws, including Vermont (1903), New Hampshire (1923), Washington (1961), Connecticut (1969), Indiana (1980), Maine (1985), North Dakota (1985), South Dakota (1986), and Florida (1987). [39]
Intensive lobbying of state legislators by the NRA increased the number of shall-issue states from nine in 1987 to 30 by the year 2000. [49] Four of these "shall-issue" states (Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, and Wyoming) are considered "constitutional carry," states where they allow for concealed carry without a permit as long as the person is legally able to own a firearm. [45] Those "constitutional carry" states can issue permits for non-residents and for residents traveling out of state. [45] Vermont, also considered a "shall-issue" state, does not issue permits at all. Its laws are sometimes referenced as "Vermont carry." [45] Eight states (CA, CT, DE, HI, MD, MA, NJ, NY) have "may-issue" laws which give law enforcement discretion in issuing permits (as of Mar. 14, 2014). [45]
The Second Amendment features prominently in the concealed handgun debate. The Second Amendment states (in its entirety), "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." In 1897, the US Supreme Court ruled in Robertson v. Baldwin that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms is not infringed by laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons." [50] On June 26, 2008, the US Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment guarantees "the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.This meaning is strongly confirmed by the historical background of the Second Amendment." [31] The US Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in McDonald v. Chicago on June 28, 2010 that the findings in District of Columbia v. Heller apply to the state and local governments in addition to federal jurisdictions like DC. [42]
President Obama and Guns
Following the election of President Barack Obama in Nov. 2008, Ohio issued 56,691 new concealed weapon permits in 2009, a 67% increase from the 33,864 licenses issued in 2008. [26] According to Jim Irvine, chairman of the Buckeye Firearms Association, this increase in concealed weapon permits is a result of "President Obama being anti-gun and the fear that he was going to do something to affect gun ownership." The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence gave President Obama an "F" rating for his first year in office for his efforts on gun control, in part because Obama signed the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 on May 22, 2009 which included an amendment to allow the carrying of firearms in national parks. [19] The National Rifle Association also gave presidential candidate Barack Obama an "F" rating on gun rights. [18] Obama was quoted in an Apr. 2, 2008 article saying, "I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations." [27]
Contemporary Legislation
States and counties frequently restrict where concealed weapons can be carried to exclude schools, government buildings, and establishments where alcohol is served. Some states allow businesses to post signs prohibiting the carrying of concealed firearms within the establishment.
On July, 22, 2009, the US Senate rejected a bill in a 58 to 39 vote (60 votes were needed) by Sen. John Thune (R-SD) that would allow an individual who holds a concealed weapons permit in one state to travel with a loaded concealed weapon to any of the other 47 states that also issued permits at the time. [22]
On July 26, 2014, Senior US District Court Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. overturned Washington, DC's complete ban on carrying handguns outside the home for self-defense. On Oct. 23, 2014 the District of Columbia began accepting concealed carry permit applications, [86][87] and is now officially a "may issue" area for concealed handgun permits.[88]

If you are in a 1 PERSONAL YEAR, July is an 8 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
Did anyone say money? Yes I am bringing up the subject of money because this month has the potential to
turn out quite well for you when it comes to your proverbial piggy bank. If I was a betting person, I'd bet on
you because this is such positive energy to bring about financial gains. If money is owed to you, it may
suddenly show up. If you are due a promotion or a raise, you should hear good news this month. The odds
are in your favor. There is a catch though, better to be cautious and stick with what you know rather than
take a risk with your finances, which means don't go running off to the racetrack. This month demands good
judgement with your finances. It would not be a bad idea to review your finances and and also check your
credit card statements for any errors.
Your mind is wrapped around your career this month and you must continue to work hard and diligently. Stay
grounded and focused. Set goals and work to meet them.
Someone new, perhaps a romantic interest or a work related associate (or both) could be on the agenda
n u m e r o l o g y t h a t i n s p i r e s
If you are in a 2 PERSONAL YEAR, July is a 9 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
Because you are in a 2 Personal Year, every situation in your life has to be handled with cooperation, tact
and diplomacy and this month is no exception. This month brings in more emotions than you have felt in a
long while and you may feel more tired and cranky than usual but understand this month brings a cleansing
of sorts. Sometimes it is difficult to let go. This combination of energy tends to test relationships. You will feel
a need to let go of the past as well as anything you have outgrown. This cleansing can apply to everything
from the way you think, to relationships, to simple things like clothing you have not worn in years. It is also a
great month to finish a project you have been working on.
You have new opportunities coming next month so use this month to your advantage and make some room!
Feel secure in knowing that it is time to move on and whatever gets tossed in the trash can is something
you do not need.
There is the possibility of a financial boost coming from an unexpected place, perhaps a payment you have
If you feel too melancholy this month, why not try doing something nice for someone else. It will be sure to
lift your mood. Perhaps consider donating those unwanted items to charity.
If you are in a 3 PERSONAL YEAR, July is a 1 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
You're feeling the urge to begin something new this month and last month's emotional difficulties are fading.
Your thoughts are unique and brimming with creativity and you are eager to get started. This is an excellent
time to begin a new project because it has a lot of potential to be successful in the long run.
It is not unusual for someone with this combination of energy (the 3 Year and 1 Month) to have the courage
to make a big career move.
July brings you some very creative energy especially with writing or public speaking. If you have such an
opportunity on your agenda, be confident it will go very well.
Romance is strong in a 3 month and you may meet someone new but this may be a romantic fling rather
than something that will last. You might find yourself immediately attracted but by month's end, wonder
what you saw in them.
It is a month that may bring you new acquaintances in the area of people who might have an influence on
your career. Pay attention to who is coming into your life.
You have places to be and people to meet this month so get out there! Just one word of caution, be careful
of the "open mouth, insert foot" syndrome this month as you may be more apt to speak without thinking.
Pay attention to your dreams as you may find them to be especially insightful this month. You also are more
intuitive this month and may find creative solutions to your problems.
If you are in a 4 PERSONAL YEAR, July is an 2 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
You have been dealing with a heavy workload this year but this month brings a new aspect to your work
environment. There may be conflicts arising and you must be sensitive to the situation and find a peaceful
solution. No matter what the problem is, the best way to handle it is to be tactful and diplomatic. If you
choose to be aggressive or angry, it will most likely backfire on you. Think of ways to compromise.
On a personal level, your sensitivity and intuition increases this month so you are well equipped to deal
with those work related problems I mentioned. Go with your intuition.
You would be wise to look over any business proposals or contracts with a fine tooth comb but be aware,
you could focus just a little too much on the details and not see the big picture. Look at things both ways.
Romance is favored but keep it out of the workplace. If you are attracted to someone at work or a client,
proceed with caution, in fact, my advice would be to walk the other way.
The energy of this month may cause lowered health so get plenty of rest, eat right and be kinder to
yourself. Seek peaceful environments, walks in the woods, a day by the sea or even buy tickets to a
musical concert.
In some cases there can be a break in association with this energy where you suddenly end a chapter in
your life so if your relationship is important, take care of it. This energy could signal a difficulty with a female
in your life so if any relationship issues comes up, try to find peaceful resolution. Also, this combination can
sometimes bring a sudden event in your life that was very much unexpected. If this is the case with you,
look for the message the Universe is trying to convey to you.
If you are in a 5 PERSONAL YEAR, July is a 3 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
When you combine a 3 Month with a 5 Year, caution flags go up with regard to money. Avoid impulsive
expenditures or going overboard with spending money. In fact, be careful of overindulging in general. If you
are normally a disciplined person, this month will wreak havoc on your ability to stay on task and remain
organized. Still, you may enjoy the carefree feeling that comes with this month's energy.
You may feel that your thoughts are scattered to the wind this month and have a hard time focusing. You
could be prone to make impulsive decisions regarding career or even in the romance area because of your
desire for change in your life. You are not your normal responsible self so be aware and forewarned.
The good news is that you should promote yourself and your ideas. Consider updating your website,
creating a promotional brochure or pitching your ideas to anyone who could further your career. Your
thoughts are creative this month. If you are a writer or even a public speaker, this is a wonderful
combination of energy to use your words and communicate. If you are considering asking for a promotion
or changing jobs, this month will be favorable for you to make such a change.
July brings the opportunity to travel or take a vacation. Keep that luggage handy!
If you are in a 6 PERSONAL YEAR, July is a 4 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
It doesn't seem that you will be getting an opportunity to take a vacation this month so set your luggage
aside and save them for next month. Your workload increases this month and many responsibilities will fall
on your shoulders. You can no longer put it off or procrastinate. It is time to buckle down.
You might even be knee deep in home repairs or weeding the gardens or additional work related to the
home. Your job seems to just pile on the work to no end. It isn't glamorous work but rather tedious and
routine and you may be putting in overtime to get it all done. My best advice is to get organized and roll up
your sleeves and get down to business. Often the work that we accomplish in a 4 month becomes the
foundation for our future success and it is quite important.
On the career front, good news for July as you may be the recipient of a very positive opportunity.
Remember that all work and no play can stress you out and effect your health so do take time to recharge
your batteries by resting and taking care of yourself during this demanding month.
If involved in a romantic relationship, you may see the relationship becoming more serious this month.
If you are in a 7 PERSONAL YEAR, July is a 5 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
Whenever we are in the 5 energy, we can expect change. Because you are in a 7 Year, this change coming
this month has more to do with the way you think or are feeling. You have been living in your head for
some time now, lost in your thoughts and experiencing personal and spiritual growth and this month may
cause you to take that leap forward and let go of old concepts.
This month will seem much lighter and you may be in the mood for some travel and social engagements
and dare I say it, a love affair. Don't be surprised if you get more opportunities in those areas this month.
One word of caution is to be aware that you will lack discipline this month and the possibility of impulsive
decisions and overindulging exists.
There may be some unexpected and sudden surprises this month. Just go with the flow.
If you were planning a move or even changing jobs, this month will most likely bring a change in that area.
Also know that this is an excellent month to network and market your ideas as people will be most
receptive to them.
If you are in a 8 PERSONAL YEAR, July is a 6 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
A combination of an 8 and a 6 create very favorable circumstances for business and finances. You have had
a few surprises this year by getting the "proverbial pat on the back", respect and recognition for all your
hard work. This month should bring a financial reward as well.
It is also a good month to ask for anything you feel that you are owed but be careful to phrase your
request as tactful as possible. When the 8 is around, it is best to be aware that we can be less than
diplomatic and sometimes we can come across as arrogant. Truth is you are in your power and can become
formidable at times.
Try to be more patient with others. You are at the top of your game but other people may not be quite up
to your par and consequently, you may find yourself impatient with their actions or decisions or general
lack of efficiency. Try to set an example and guide them rather than become upset at them.
A friend, family member or loved one may be in need of your assistance this month and you will find
yourself helping and caring for them. Certainly, if this is not the case, you can expect that the family has
demands on your time this month whether it is helping them or simply spending time with them.
Romance is favorable this month so if single, make sure you mingle!
If you are in a 9 PERSONAL YEAR, July is a 7 PERSONAL MONTH for you:
You have been going through some deep soul searching this year and perhaps reflecting back and
contemplating future changes in your life regarding the direction you are going in. You sense it is time to
stop dwelling and start making those decisions. You need to listen to your intuition and let your heart
guide you. You are insightful this month and may sense a Higher Power is guiding you. Do what your heart
tells you is the right thing, because your Higher Power speaks through the heart.
Find the time to meditate this month and you will be glad you did.
It is a time to examine your life and let go of what is no longer necessary and make room for a new era in
your life that is soon to come.
Embrace this most important time in your life and view it as a cleansing and know it is for your greatest
and highest good.
Career and money should not be the focus of this month and don't worry, they are being taken care of so
you can do more important inner work this month.
You may be low on energy this month; in fact, you may feel in need of extra rest and time off from your
normal busy schedule. I suggest doing just that. Take a few well-deserved naps; spend some time in
nature, read a book or anything that gives you an opportunity to recharge your batteries.
