Lady Slippers Grew Deep in the Swamp
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00

From the pen of the late Elizabeth Cooper Mike, Kimball Historical Society member and her book "The Girl From Stickney Hill, Kimball Prairie, Minnesota," reprinted with permission of the author.
We hesitated at the fence line wondering if we should crawl through the barbed wire and begin our search for the pink lady slippers we knew grew in the dark scary swamp. The swamp was shaded with tall trees and grass growing higher than my head and it was probably filled, I thought, with all kinds of bugs, and worms, and maybe snakes.
It was June on our Minnesota farm the summer I was 14, when we first began to think about the pink lady slippers and how we would search for them in the swamp to the north of our farm.
The air was clean and fresh and warm with sunshine. Summer leaves sparkled on the trees, and the scent of flowers was everywhere. Us kids with our bare feet finally free of tight school shoes scampered over the soft green grass seeking the location of this flower or that flower somewhere in our yard or growing wild in the woods.
The scent of purple lilacs that bloomed in May along the gateway that separated the house yard from the barnyard area was long gone. Now the violets and pansies and balsam dotted my mother's flower beds and the white blossoms of the nicotina sent its intoxicating sweet scent out over the grass once the evening dew had fallen.
Out the kitchen window, I could see a sweep of yellow across the back yard settle on the trellis around the outhouse under the old box elder tree. Dozens of wild canaries began pecking at the tender new scarlet runner vines making their way up the wooden frame.
In a few weeks the trellis would be covered with hundreds of reddish orange bean blossoms, and the outhouse would be a secluded place to sit and read.
We sought the icy white bloodroot on the way to a neighbor's, a flower that shed orangey-red juice over our fingers when we broke their stems to pick them.
On the hillside around the Big Rock at our other farm hepaticas dotted the grassy area under the trees, their white and pink blooms beckoning to be picked.
Always the pink wild roses grew everywhere, along the roadside on the way to the mailboxes a mile away, down the road past our nearest neighbors, and in my heart it was my favorite flower, particularly when the first almost red buds appeared.
Once, way down in our fields, just across the fence to the west in a neighbor's woods, we found a tiny purple flower set in a small lush green plant, and Muddy called it an orchid when we brought it home to her.
Now it was July and we looked for the freckled faced orange wild tiger lilies along a bend in the road on the way to Chris Flint's house when we went to visit his roly poly little wife.
But this year, we determined for sure we would search for the pink lady slipper, the official Minnesota state flower. Lady slippers grew deep in the swamp across the fence on the north at the end of our last forty acres, but on someone else's farm.
A few yellow lady slippers grew just outside of our driveway in June in a woodsy area along the road to the west, but they were small and ordinary-looking next to the showy larger pink lady slipper and the pink lady slippers were what we went in search of that hot July day.
We stood now at the fence, my sister and I. I had an earthen-ware jug of water wrapped in wet burlap and Peggy had a couple of sandwiches.
I looked at the sun directly overhead. The sky was clear blue with no clouds. "As long as the sun keeps shining we won't get lost," I said.
"See," I said. "I'm facing the fence. West is on my left, east is on my right, and north is right ahead and south is at my back." I pointed to the west. "As the sun slips past noon that direction would always be west."
"Let's go," I said. "We just have to watch the sun." We held the barbed wire for each other and crawled through the fence.
A few feet into the tall grass and the nettles were stinging our arms with ugly red welts as we brushed past. The mosquitoes were flying up from the weeds to sink their hungry little stingers into our backs. Some kind of little gnat or fly were buzzing in swarms around our heads getting in our eyes and mouths.
"Stay close behind me." I motioned Peggy back. "You don't want to get lost."
We went straight north parting the grass to make a path, swatting and slapping at mosquitoes. It was wet and soggy and bumpy underfoot. I was glad I wore my shoes.
From time to time we veered off to the left or right when we saw a flash of color we thought might be the pink lady slippers.
I kept my eye on the sun and we always came back to our northward trail. "We'll just turn around and go back the way we came when we're ready to go home," I said. "The sun will be on our right."
Then the sky began to darken and the clouds rolled in covering the sun and a light rain began to fall. It was hard to see and I itched all over from insect bites and contact with the stinging nettles.
We wandered on for awhile until we were out of the swamp and in a thick woods. I finally had to admit I no longer knew which way was north. I tried to go back the way we had come, but now we were so hopelessly turned around that we were going in circles.
Peggy said, "You got us lost!"
I said, "Shut up!"
We sat down under a tree and ate our sandwiches and drank some water out of the jug. "I'm sure tired of carrying this jug," I said. "It's heavy."
"Throw it away and Daddy'll get you." Smartie Peggy said. "That's the jug he uses in the fields." Her voice sounded like she was going to cry.
"Don't you dare cry," I said, standing up and picking up the jug. "I'll get us out of this."
I looked around. "The sky is lighter in that direction, like the rain is clearing up. We're going that way until we come out at a road or a pond or someone's farm."
We went only a little way when Peggy ran ahead, "I see a road."
I looked at the overgrown ruts trailing deeper into the woods behind us. "This is an old logging trail," I said. "I've heard Daddy say there used to be an old saw mill in these woods." I began to run.
"I know where we are," I said. "The road is right over that way." And we ran toward the bright sky and came out on a road about two miles from home.
We were hungry, full of insect bites and red welts from nettles, but we were safe.
"This jug doesn't seem so heavy now," I said as we walked home.

MC Runt and DJ Deeko feel like they're a dying breed in hip-hop.
James Owens (aka MC Runt) and older brother Jason (aka DJ Deeko) started as unknowns in 2000, handing out thousands of homemade CDs to passersby. Now their hip-hop outfit, Jivin' Scientists, is an established fixture of the Tucson music scene. "We make very touchy-feely hip-hop," James says. "I think the genre is becoming less personal, to where now people make a few songs, get a few plays on their MySpace, and then think they can start playing shows, without really recognizing what it takes."
For the Owens brothers, making a name for themselves required an understanding of where hip-hop came from and an awareness of the days when funk samples were as common as today's vocoder trend. "You need to be experiencing the full culture," Jason says. "A lot of MCs don't go out and support b-boys, graffiti writers and DJs, but then they get mad at those guys for not coming to see them. Why should they support you if you're not doing the same for them?"
The album came together randomly. One day, EYE was listening to some rough cuts with Mike Schank (formally 'Impulse' of Sector 7 G/ Fill in the Breaks) on the way to a show in Duluth, MN. He thought it was some of Schank's best writing to date… and his comment on one of the songs was… "I really like this chorus, but, I think someone else should be on it….. ME!
From then on the collabo expanded to showing a few rough cuts to Mr. Dibbs. He was excited to hear something different too. Low and behold, he was in Minnesota a few weeks later and we worked a few days drinking Steel Reserve, and the cuts laid themselves in. I remember him saying "this is by far the most comfortable recording session that I've ever been in… when I am working with (big producer's name deleted) he always wants to have me do the take 20 times, then he chops it up into pieces that I could never duplicate live".
Jivin Scientists drops this music video/short film done by Conceptflux Mediaconsisting of 3 songs ( Break It, Ten Snows & Out Of The Dark) off of their most recent album entitled "The Morning After".
Underground legend and top notch emcee Aceyalone is coming back to Club Congress. Aceyalone has always prided himself on quality control. He has long been a lyrical master, able to weave the personal, political and social into one cohesive fabric, has never been questioned. The music takes equal billing, with Acey striking down sonic boundaries and throwing the listener back to a time when music was pure, energetic, and fun. Joining him will be JNatural, Pat Maine and the always incredible Jivin Scientists, a staple of the local Tucson hip hop scene. Get your tickets here!!
The seventh album from the Jivin Scientists !!!
We are in New Mex shooting a video with our boy Flux and his crew. We are embarking on a new kind of journey and its a bit crazy. Never in a million years would I have thought we would be working at this kind of level. Flux has been our brother for years and we have seen him grow. With a dream and hard work he has come to a level of professionalism that is a bit hard to grasp.We are stoked to bring you a video that will truly entertain. The next couple of weeks will be crazy for us, so please keep an eye on whats going on. The release of The Morning After is just around the corner. Hear is a small look at the video shoot, there is much more to come.
love you all
hug some one amazing.
Alright my little droogs its time to kill the empire!!!
Please share and post the pics below to help us prepare for the upcoming release. If we are facebook stocking or twitter creepin and we see one of our photos as your profile or just sharing we might send you a copy of the album early.

in which i take an indeterminate hiatus
Every year, I look forward to the holidays season not because of Christmas, but because of all the end-of-year posts. I love reading them. There's something about the reflection of the year past and the hope for the year coming that makes me giddy with joy. I had also planned on writing my own maudlin posts: favorite books of the year, what I learned this past year, my New Year's resolutions, etc.
Except I won't be writing them.
Can't write them.
Because just typing for more than ten minutes at a time brings me pain now.
Early last week, I experienced shooting pain in my right shoulder and forearm. I wasn't extremely worried, because this has happened before, and the pain would often go away after a day or two. But this time, it didn't. It got worse. I started feeling wrist and hand pain, along with the finger aches that have come and go for the last year. Then the pain spread to my left arm.
And then I started feeling pain all the time, not just when I'm using the computer.
My doctor isn't sure what the problems are, but I suspect the pain is associated with various Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). My symptoms closely match Tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel, and possibly Trigger Fingers. I have to admit I'm panicking right now. Are these permanent? Does this mean I won't have the full use of my hands ever again? How will I write? How will I work as a dentist in the future?
The one thing I do know, however, is that the injuries will only get worse if I persist on doing what caused it in the first place: Using my laptop for hours and hours each day.
So for the foreseeable future, I will be taking a total break from the computer until my arms and hands heal. (I hope they will heal.)
To all my writer friends: If you give yourself one gift this holidays season, give yourself the gift of a healthy body. Take care of it. Develop good typing habits. Rest and stretch your hands and arms every twenty minutes. Don't wait until permanent damage is done.
I hope you all have a Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year!

Oh, Emy, I'm so sorry. It will improve though. Maybe not to the way it was, but it will get better and manageable.
I did permanent damage to my eyes from not being sensible with computer usage as well. It still hurts, but it's under control and through being sensible, I can keep working the way I always did (just with more breaks and taking time off when I need it), even though I'll never get back my full vision (I've got massive splotches in my vision and get headaches very easy).
Make sure you get a second opinion on it if your doctor doesn't have a satisfactory plan or diagnosis for you and don't give up. It will come right!
Have a wonderful Christmas and I'm sure we'll see you back, good as new, in the New Year.
You poor thing! I really, really hope this is a temporary thing and the doctors can help you figure it out. That's pretty scary stuff.
Down the road once you have most of it under control, you might want to try a speech to text program. Some of my students use Dragon Naturally Speaking and it's kind of fun and it works well. It might help you out a bit.
Take care of yourself! Have a wonderful year end and even better new year. *hugs*
I had to get a new keyboard because I was starting to having problems writing for more than five minutes stretches.
I hope things get better soon. Definitely take the time off so your body can health. *hugs*
I'm so sorry to hear this, Emy. :( Wishing you a healthy and speedy recovery in the new year! We'll all be here when you get back. Hope you have a merry Christmas!
EMY! I hope your time off heals things. As a web designer by trade, I had some intense Carpal Tunnel-like pain a few years ago in my wrist, thumb, and palm from so much use of the mouse. It was terrifying. I was scared it wouldn't heal. I took more breaks and switched to a mouse pad that has that "rest" thing on the bottom to support my wrist. It got better and I'm fine now.
Definitely take some time off, and I'm sure your doctor has offered suggestions, but if you don't use one of those wrist-supporter pads for your keyboard (since keyboard seems to be your nemesis, unlike my issue with the mouse) I highly recommend one.
I'm rooting for a strong recovery for you and keeping you in my thoughts. Enjoy your holidays. And some time away from the computer. You will be missed, but we COMPLETELY understand. Health first.
Andddd… I've written a short novel. My apologies. (((hugs)))
Hope things work out well for you. Having an injury to your hands/arms is devastating. I dealt with one for years.
Wishing you a pain free holiday and new year with lots of rest. See you when you get back.
Oh no! Maybe time away from the computer will help you. I hope you have a speedy recovery and a great holiday!
*hugs* Pain sucks. I hope you heal soon. I hope you enjoy the holidays!
Oh my! This post makes me so sad inside! I really really hope you get better, and soon too. Reading the other comments makes me think this is more common than people let on. I'll definitely be taking more breaks!
Oh noes! I really, really hope the pain gets better =(
I don't think people really realize how hazardous being a writer can be. I haven't had any problems with my hands or wrists, but that's probably mostly because I've already been taking lots of breaks away from the computer because it's already helped ruin my vision. Take care of yourself, and see you when you get back!
AGH. That's seriously awful! I hope you heal completely — but I'm sure you will, the strong gal that you are. *hugs* Get plenty of rest. I'm positive you'll get through. You will be able to write, and you will be able to work as a dentist.
I have faith in your strength. <3
I'm so sorry to hear! You take care of yourself and get better. That is scary! Sending all my best wishes your direction.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll be praying for you.
I'll miss you <3 but I sincerely hope you get better!
Sorry to hear about this Emy but you have such a positive attitude I know that your body will heal itself with rest and care.
Definitely take it easy and don't overdo it. I'm sure you'll get lots of love and attention over the Christmas break. :)
Aw, I'm so sorry! I hope you feel better soon!
Emy, I'm so sorry to hear about this! I'll miss seeing you around but I hope you feel better soon. Your health is so, so important and I'm wishing you a safe and speedy recovery<3
I had RSI my senior year of college as well. It's like a rite of passage. Consider it a graduation omen. :P
Sorry to hear that you are having so much pain typing. I work in assistive technology and I want to tell you about Dragon Naturally Speaking. This software really does work and would allow you to type by speaking to the computer.
However, if you cannot afford this, know that Windows 7 comes with something similar. Just go to the accessibility options and turn it on. In not time, you will be dictating to your computer and not having to type at all.
Oh, Emy, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I hope your arms and wrists (and whatever other body parts are involved) heal quickly! You're right- it's so important to take care of our bodies. We don't realize how much we take for granted until it's taken away. At least, I know I'm that way.
I hope you were able to have a Merry Christmas!
Oh Emy, I heard about this through your twitter. I'm sorry it's gotten so bad, but I hope for your speedy recovery. Rest is definitely the best way to go. As some other people have suggested, try switching your mouse and keyboard to ergonomic ones if you can. I understand about the laptop though. I do most of my web stuff on that than on the desktop when I'm at home. :P
Anyway, I hope you have a restful holiday season and happy New Year! Wishing you all the best! *hugs*
I am so sorry, Emy! I hope your time off will heal your arm.
Have a Happy New Year!!!
Oh Emy, I'm so sorry to hear about this! You are most definitely in my thoughts this New Year. I wish you a quick recovery and, again, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this!
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. Heal quickly!
I'm sorry to hear that, Emy! Hope you're taking care of yourself and getting better!
I'm late on this (took a hiatus of my own), but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry! That's got to be both frustrating and frightening. I hope you figure out how to make it go away, and stay away. Hope you're feeling better!
Take care of yourself and heal, heal, heal!
Hey, I saw you joined my blog. Thanks! But about your hands- this sounds intensely familiar to what I just went though. Please please please ask your doctor to consider Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, specifically neurogenic NTOS. I say this as someone who spent 6 months being bounced from specialist to specialist while they were trying to figure out my diagnosis, and as a medical student.
Wikipedia actually has the most information, in my opinion. Please contact me if you want to talk about this, and I hope you feel better soon, losing the use of your hands is devastating.
Oh I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you feel better! I can see why you would be worried. I get those feelings of pain from time to time but they go away.
Take care and get yourself rested up!
Emy, your health comes first always. Best wishes, I hope the break helps you.
So sorry to hear about this. Hoping you recover soon. Take care of yourself.
I hope that you will recover soon!

Leo (July 23- August 22)
Your July Horoscope by Susan Miller
By Susan Miller
Your time has come, dear Leo! You are standing in the wings, the orchestra has arrived and are tuning up, and very shortly - on July 16 - you will be the reigning king or queen of the zodiac when Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, enters Leo on that day. This once-in-twelve-year privilege is big news, and best of all, your reign as celestial favorite will last nearly thirteen months, until August 11, 2015. Jupiter takes twelve years to revolve around the Sun, so each sign gets one year of abundance from Jupiter while the other signs wait their turn to wear the crown.
During Jupiter's visit to Leo, you will be encouraged to think big, on a grand scale. This is your way of operating, so it fits perfectly with your natural instincts. Almost nothing will be impossible for you to achieve now, for you will have staunch support from very influential VIPs. If you have been concerned about your health, Jupiter is strongly associated with healing, so if you feel you'd like a second opinion or want to revisit your health concern with your doctor, make the appointment, for you may hear that a recent medical discovery might be able to help your condition.
Dreams you have had on hold that you hoped someday to work on can now be put into action. Romantically, if single, you will have some of the best prospects you've ever had for finding your one true love. Ancient astrologers always wrote that having Jupiter in your own sign brings all sorts of important people to your path, and among them may easily be the person you will want to spend the rest of your life with, as that person will be THAT special. If you are already married or in an established arrangement, you will have more fun together, and you may be planning a baby - the best year ever to expand your family.
You will be offered much, but the danger is that you may spread yourself too wide, in too many directions. Having your priorities set will help you make key decisions. Choose the opportunities with long-term potential, for you are starting a Jupiter cycle now, and the seeds you plant this year will pay dividends in terms of money and happiness for at least twelve years, until Jupiter has time to come back to Leo again in June 2026 to refresh the energy. Jupiter will reside in your first house, the most important house of the natal or solar chart.
Each month I point to certain areas of life that you might want to keep your eye on, and to make an action on, for the new moon, full moon, and the other aspects usually dictate where your attention should be drawn. However, when the first house is lit, as it is once each year at birthday time, you have choice - you can go in any direction you please, knowing that this month (and in many future months) you will have the full support of the universe behind you. I call the new moon of the birthday month a cosmic gift certificate, to do with as you please. Use it, dear Leo!
My mother - Little Mom - who taught me astrology, once said to me, "The more I study astrology, the more I realize the critical importance of the first house." That house reflects personality, and the individual's will and determination to achieve goals. It is the engine that drives the chart forward, and shows vitality, assertiveness, character, style, and desire.
All that person's most important life choices emanate from the first house, so it follows that the other houses of the horoscope are influenced by the first house and support the will of the individual reflected there. It is at the heart of the chart. This is where you will host the great benefic, the Santa Claus planet, Jupiter, from July 16, 2014 to August 11, 2015, in your glorious year ahead.
The last time you saw a year like this, it spanned August 2002 to August 2003. That period was special, but Uranus was giving you a hard time in terms of a committed relationship or your health in 2002. For that reason, I feel this time around with Jupiter in Leo will be far better for you, for you will have far less interference from Uranus and most other planets.
Jupiter is bigger than any of the other planets put together, in a remarkable way. If you could put all the planets on your dining room table, most would be the size of a small tangerine or baby plum, and Pluto would be the size of a raspberry. However, Jupiter would be the size of a honeydew melon - bigger than all the other planets put together. The encyclopedia says Jupiter almost qualified as a sun in his own right, but lost out on a technicality. Astrologers know that Jupiter is the planet of great abundance, enormously good luck, and will always give you more of what you want - more than you ever thought possible. Jupiter is also associated with international travel, so it is likely you will travel overseas in coming months, to a city or region you've never been, and have an awe-inspiring experience.
Jupiter's job is to reward you, and to also to see to it that you broaden your scope, which is why international travel often accompanies these golden years. After this year is over, you may look back and say you used to think in small terms (which you used to assume were big scale dreams). Soon will see how much more encompassing your plans will become after Jupiter comes by for his visit. You will only get about eight such Jupiter years in a lifetime if you live to 96. Think of each of these years as a brilliant emerald that you will get to hold in the palm of your hand - this year will represent one of those shimmering emerald years.
If you have been reading my column, last year at about this time I wrote for you that July 15, 2014 would be the year you would come into your own. At the time, I urged you to think about what you would love to see happen next. Over the past year, I asked you to decide what to delete, and to decide what would come with you in your next decade. If you made space in your life, Jupiter will have more room in which to give you his goodies. Don't hang on to marginal people who burn your time or lower your self-esteem. If a relationship or job has been unhappy for a long time, it's time to leave it.
As a little graphic exercise, right now, look at your phone. If it were to ring right this minute, ideally, who would be calling and what would the person say to you? It will be so very important for you to know what you want to happen next in your life. Prioritize your wishes and choose to put your best efforts behind the dream or two that has the greatest potential for long-term happiness. You will be offered many opportunities so sweet, you may be tempted to take them all, but that would spread you too thin - have your wishes organized, and you will make this phase a big success. Jupiter will be strong until early December, at which time Jupiter will go retrograde, so you have an open road for quite a long time. Make each minute count!
To make sure you notice all that this phase holds for you, on Thursday, July 24, the Sun, your ruler, will meet with Jupiter to greet him in Leo, and together will create the luckiest day of the year (Leo 2 degrees). This is an annual event - or annual dinner between these two luminaries, if you will. Each year the Sun and Jupiter meet in a different sign, and this year, it's Leo. It's been twelve years since they've met in Leo to create this best of all days of 2014. A feeling of luxury, generosity of spirit and an emphasis on big ideas will fill the air.
The wonderful quality about Jupiter is that he not only brings the breakthrough you need, but the means to take full advantage of it. You may travel to Istanbul and get to see this great city, for example, and a boss or client may send you there, all expenses paid. You see what I mean. You can find literally hundreds of ways that Jupiter manifests his goodness, but my point is, he doesn't just dangle the opportunity in front of you - he makes sure you can take advantage of it too, without obstacles.
Does your birthday fall on July 24 or within five days of that date? Then it means your whole year will be showered with radiant luck, for the conjunction takes place at your solar return. (Literally a solar return means the return of the Sun to the place it occupied at your birth. This is very significant!) Or do you have a natal planet in Leo at 2 degrees or within five degrees of that degree? You, too, will benefit in a big way.
ALL Leo readers, regardless of which day their birthday falls on, however, will have reason to celebrate! Use July 24 for your biggest initiations - one where you could use the element of luck on your side because you are making a big stretch toward something you want dearly. You might present a business plan to a group of investors, or have a first date with someone you've wanted to meet, and a close friend made it happen. You may travel overseas on this day, or successfully defend your thesis. You may buy a beautiful house, or sell one, or meet with the bank or even the taxman, to present your case that you are a trustworthy person. Authority figures will smile on you. You might have a surgery on this day (actually a good time to do so) or have a key job interview. If you are self-employed, use this day to open the doors of your business.
If you want to marry, or get engaged, do so on the new moon I spoke about earlier, two days later, July 26. This will be the new moon in Leo, 4 degrees. That new moon will be conjunct Jupiter and bring happiness to you for a full year or more, very possibly forever. Again, you can choose any initiative you'd like to make, on any front. Only rarely do you get this kind of carte blanche from a caring universe.
A grand trine will appear in the sky on the day of the new moon - a golden triangle - linking Venus, Mars, and Neptune, and that is considered the most divinely harmonious aspect possible. You will be deeply inspired, and love will be in the air. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, so where Venus sets off the spark of love, Neptune teaches that at the bottom of the sea of love is to care so deeply for your beloved that you would be willing to put your beloved first, even if it means sacrifice from you. That is mature love, and on this new moon, Venus will work flawlessly with Neptune, so the teachings of Neptune are easy to absorb. Mars will be part of this triangle too, linking a happy home and family to the mix.
Mars has been in Libra for months, since December 7, but will move into your house of home and family on July 25. This may give you some concern over a housing situation, or regarding an elderly parent in coming weeks, because Mars, in his own right, often likes to stir the pot. (This would happen after the golden triangle dissolves in August.) This emphasis will last only until September13. In Libra you may have been on the road, traveling quite a bit, but now Mars' emphasis will shift squarely to your home, other property, or family matters.
You seem to have had a complex housing or family matter to solve for some time, possibly as far back as October 2012 (or shortly thereafter). This emphasis won't be easily fixed, but now, with energetic Mars in this house, joining Saturn already there, you may find new options. The solar eclipse of October 23, a new moon, later this year will bring movement, so things won't remain deadlocked if you've been frustrated by a long-term situation that seems to have no answer - everything has an answer, dear Leo. In so many ways, life is about to change wildly for the better for you, and you will be in charge. That is enough to make any dear Leo roar loudly with delight.
Dear Leo, after this month is over, you will stand up a little straighter, hold your head a little higher, and feel much more confident, for on July 16, Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, will enter Leo for the first time since August 1, 2002 to August 27, 2003. Each year, Jupiter chooses one sign to heap his considerable cornucopia of gifts upon, and this time, Jupiter will choose Leo, and you will begin your reign as the celestial favorite. Jupiter will bring you many new friends and acquaintances, and among those you meet, you may meet your one true love in coming months. Jupiter in one's own sign is an exceedingly rare aspect, and is considered the very best aspect to bring the meeting of a true love.
If you already are in love, you will grow closer and have more time together. It is very likely you'll take a long-distance trip together in coming months. Jupiter naturally rules your house of true love, so this shows that you will have a double dip of good fortune for matters of the heart and for conception of a baby. (If you have had problems, see a specialist this month.) Also, your health will likely become stronger, you'll be more optimistic, and you'll have opportunity to travel to at least one foreign city in the coming year.
Offers on many fronts will be offered to you, each one more dazzling than the one that came before. Your instinct may be to accept every opportunity that is offered to you, but you need to be selective so that you do not spread yourself too thin. The coming year will be about the quality of the actions you take, not the quantity of projects you amass. Your aim must be very precise, for you will not get aspects this special again for years. To make the most of your golden era of Jupiter in Leo, you must be very clear about what you'd like to accomplish in the coming months. Your star power is so strong now that you could light nations to your cause.
The luckiest day of the year will bring the Sun and Jupiter to Leo, July 24. What a golden day that will be! When you need the element of luck, that's your day to choose! Is your birthday on this day or does it fall near it? Then your whole year will be rinsed with dazzling luck, for it coincides with your "solar return," which means, literally, the Sun returns to the place it occupied at your birth, considered very significant in astrology. Suffice to say, you will be dripping with luck, at long last!
You will experience more good fortune after the new moon in Leo, July 26. A new moon opens a portal of energy, and this new moon in Leo will orbit close to Jupiter, making it extra special for you. This is your moment to lay the groundwork for materializing your dearest dream. You will have ten days in which to sow your first seed. In astrology, it is not necessarily when you fulfill the goal, but when you start it that counts most.
You seem to have been traveling quite a bit over the past months, ever since Mars entered Libra on December 7. You may have had to see a client in a nearby town, or keep an eye on a close relative. Now Mars changes signs on July 25, and Mars will put a great deal of emphasis on a home or family matter that you've dealt with as far back as late October 2012. The question you are pondering appears to be one that will take time to sort out. Be patient and keep searching for answers, for you are favored and can find options. It looks as though by late October or November you will have the answer.
Dates to Note: LEO
Most important dates for love, meetings, or actions on any front for Leo: July 9, 13, 17, 21, 22, 24, 26, 27, and 31.
Mercury goes direct July 1 after having been retrograde since June 7.
Saturn goes direct July 20, after being retrograde since March 2.
The full moon in Capricorn, July 12, will spotlight a health concern, so stay on top of it. Also if you are waiting to hear about any tests or diagnosis from your doctor, you will find out in the days surrounding the full moon. Also at this time, you will also see a work-related project reach an end.
Jupiter will move into Leo on July 16 for the first time in a decade, and will help you expand and grow in happiness in all phases of life, from love to business, travel to health - you will love the activities and opportunities in the coming nearly thirteen months. Jupiter will remain in Leo until August 11, 2015. It has not been in Leo since mid-2002 to mid-2003.
Your luckiest day of the year will be July 24, when the Sun will conjoin Jupiter in Leo. It is a great day to make any new announcement of a business idea, artwork, piece of music, or any creative pursuit you want to reach a wider audience. It's also a time to sign papers or meet the romantic person meant for you - go out and circulate.
July 26 brings a wonderful boost to your confidence level. You can make a memorable impression on VIPs you need to impress. Use this new moon to launch any project or endeavor dearly important to you.

My Year Ahead 2014 collectible calendar is now $9.99 (at a 45% discount, from original price $17.99) plus shipping, any applicable tax
Calendars are used to mark time, but have you ever had a calendar that helped you use your time productively? My new Year Ahead 2014 Calendar can do just that. I write every word myself in this stunning calendar with original fine art by socialite, author, and fine artist Gloria Vanderbilt, mother of newsman Anderson Cooper, and great grandchild of railroad entrepreneur Cornelius Vanderbilt. (Grand Central Station was originally her great grandfather's business headquarters.)
Gloria Vanderbilt, now almost 90 years young, licensed the reproduction rights to her critically acclaimed artwork to Susan Miller who self-published her calendar. The inks are rich, the paper heavy, glossy, and snow white, allowing Gloria's paintings to jump off the page. Each month, from January 2014 through the extra bonus month, January 2015, is found an inspirational quote from Gloria, centering on her philosophy of living life fully and creatively. With fourteen of Gloria's paintings, this calendar will soon become a collector's edition and will not be reprinted when stocks are gone.
Aside from having happy, vibrant art to look at all year, The Year Ahead 2014 calendar has many other uses, unlike any you have had in a calendar before. On every important day of each month I list the aspect and what it means, in easy to understand laymen's language. This means the next time you are about to make an important appointment, and the VIP asks you, "Do you want to come in Monday or Thursday?" you can say you will consult your calendar and know immediately the day to choose.
In a year like 2014, where sparkling aspects will stand side by side difficult ones, this calendar will not be a luxury but a necessity.
Also included in the calendar are:
- All the start and end dates of the retrograde planets in 2014,
- Detailed discussion of the new and full moons (new!)
- The date when planets move into new signs (and how long they will be in that sign), all listed on the same day entry
- The planetary aspects of the four eclipses due in 2014, and explanation of what each eclipse will bring.
No more surprises! Be in the know about upcoming events, so that you can plan your biggest initiations. This calendar is a "must" to keep with you all year, and is available here, from Susan's publisher, but not in bookstores or other retailers. Get it now, while you can: $9.99 plus tax and shipping. We ship to all nations of the world: http://bit.ly/186zM0i

We all want to know about the deals being offered nearby in our neighborhoods to save money. I found a way when a brilliant entrepreneur, Luis Sanchez, came to see me to show me he had developed a way of seeing all the various deal-of the-day websites that are featuring discounts on food, entertainment, boutiques, and other establishments, all in one click. Traveling? All you need to do is enter the zip code of your new neighborhood as you travel each day and you can see the deals that may be just across the street from your hotel.
The company is called Wifive.us and is ready to use today. It is a New York-based startup with a location-based search engine that gives you access to thousands of local online deals in a single site.
For now, Wifive.us is only available in the United States. It covers most of the deals and services you would see from various sources (Groupon, Amazon, Google deals, and so forth) all at once, so you don't have to go from site to site to find a deal that appeals to you, as Luis would humorously say, "until your head hurts." There is no registration necessary, and no useless emails to stuff your inbox each day.
Just type your address or ZIP code and get the deals you want when you want them. You pull in your information, which is far better than having many emails pushed to you. Try it and like the service on Facebook!
A word about the web address of WiFive.us
You may be wondering, what exactly is .US?
You might have thought the domain ending .us would only be only for government agencies and schools, but since 2002, individuals, businesses, churches, and non-profits have adopted .US web addresses to make their mark on the Internet. The .US is a new domain ending.
Just remember the name of the new service that no doubt you will be using quite a bit: pronounced as "wi-five-dot-us" otherwise seen as: http://www.wifive.us

Category Archives: John Murray
Learning Reformed Theology
John Piper, at an event Tuesday night at Westminster Theological Seminary, recounting his seminary days at Fuller (1968–71):
I didn't learn my reformed theology mainly from John Calvin, or even from Jonathan Edwards (whom I esteem as highly as one can possibly esteem a non-divine being). I learned it from Romans 9 and Romans 1–8 and Galatians and the Sermon on the Mount and 1 Corinthians with Dan Fuller pushing my nose down in the nitty-gritty of the conjunctions and the connectors [of the biblical text]. To this day, I find the theology inescapable in the Bible. . . . In my early days, Romans was the key watershed document to turn my word upside-down. And you know who it was who guided me through Romans? John Murray. That is the most beautifully written commentary on the planet.
HT: @JaredOliphint
Some reference books are so valuable they should read be read from cover to cover annually. In this category I would place the Collected Writings of John Murray (Banner of Truth, 1976–1982). On just about every page the reader will find gems like this one (1:183):
Godliness is God-consciousness, an all-pervasive sense of God's presence. It will mean that never do we think, or speak, or act, without the undergirding sense of God's presence, of his judgement, of our relation to him and his relation to us, of our responsibility to him and dependence upon him.
John Murray on Union with Christ
A favorite little theology text is John Murray's Redemption: Accomplished and Applied (Eerdmans). It's not a large book and it's not a new book (now 55 years old), but it's the wonderful fruit of a first-rate theologian. Since I recently posted my scribbles from a lecture on the topic of union with Christ I figured I would post a few quotes from the second-to-final chapter of Murray's RAA ("Union with Christ," pages 161–173). Murray is not a man of overstatement.
On page 170: "Union with Christ is the central truth of the whole doctrine of salvation. All to which the people of God have been predestined in the eternal election of God, all that has been secured and procured for them in the once-for-all accomplishment of redemption, all of which they become the actual partakers in the application of redemption, and all that by God's grace they will become in the state of consummated bliss is embraced within the compass of union and communion with Christ."
On page 171: "It is out of the measureless fullness of grace and truth, of wisdom and power, of goodness and love, of righteousness and faithfulness which resides in him that God's people draw for all their needs in this life and for the hope of the life to come. There is no truth, therefore, more suited to impart confidence and strength, comfort and joy in the Lord than this one of union with Christ."

later it turned out to be effective in combat as well, it's like having a sniper rifle in your tank, and it's good for up to 1500m while the gunners MG is only good for 1200m.
the Magach6 series uses the original M60 turret but the Magach7 series uses an M48 turret over it's M60 chassis, probably in order to ease the already heavy burden on the treads and springs systems and the engine because it uses a much heavier armor.
i hope thats what you were asking.

squishy, reversible goodness
If you follow me on any kind of social media, you've probably seen a couple of sneak peeks of this scarf. It's been in the works for about a year and a half, and it is finally, finally here!
the circus arrives without warning...
Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus provided excellent inspiration for this scarf. In this wonderfully imaginative book, lovers of a magical circus travel around the world, following the excitement. Many identify themselves to each other by dressing all in black whilst visiting the circus, accessorizing with a single, scarlet accent. One girl knits the hero a warm woolen scarf to help induct him into the group known as the "Reveurs" (or,"Dreamers"). Here, I've dreamt up my own vision of what that scarf would look like: A wide, reversible cable meanders over a stunning patterned background, while the edging takes on a slightly tilted look thanks to tiny reversible cables. I wanted the overall effect to be magical, as though it were almost impossible; however, the knitting itself is quite simple! Each row begins andends with 1x1 cables, there is just one increase and decrease on each right side row, and the rest is knits and purls. You'll cable the largest cable just once every 12th row, and every wrong side row is worked plain. You'll be finished before you know it!
chocolate bats, a sweet treat from the magical circus's courtyard
This pattern would make an equally beautiful cowl, and instructions for this modification are included in the pattern. The 10-page PDF also includes both written instructions and charts for each row of the pattern!
identify yourself as a magical knitter!
You can purchase this pattern here at the special introductory price of $4.50 now through August 31st. The price will increase to $6.00 on September 1st. Come join Club Sexy over on Ravelry for our Reveur KAL, which begins September 1st!

Jamaica on top in athletics, but...
Country running last economically, says NIA
EXECUTIVE Director of corruption watchdog group National Integrity Action Professor Trevor Munroe wants service clubs across the island to convene a national conference to discuss ways to unify the country to overcome the current national economic and social crisis.
The NIA head's call comes amidst the celebration of the successes of Jamaican athletes at the London 2012 Olympics.
According to Professor Munroe, while the performance of the athletes in their different events has literally pushed Jamaica to the top of the world, the country is still at the bottom of the pile based on its economic performance, pushed there by rampant corruption.
"...At the same time as we are at the top of the world in athletics, we are near the bottom of the world in economic performance; in producing and in providing goods and services to uplift the quality of life of the majority of our people. Regrettably, when it comes to the economy, we not only don't qualify for the Olympics, but we don't even qualify for anywhere near the top three in our region," professor Munroe said in a presentation to the Rotary Club of New Kingston, Friday.
Referring to an article by the Economist magazine in July this year which predicted that based on current forecasts Jamaica will finish the year with the slowest average growth rate since 2000 in the Americas, behind even earthquake-stricken Haiti, Professor Munroe said Jamaica had "fallen behind a whole slew of countries that it was ahead of in 1970".
"There needs to be the broadest coalition of citizens' groups to reduce the harmful consequence of tribalism, of corruption and its offshoots. The situation is sufficiently serious for me to suggest to you that an initiative should be taken to convene a National Convention of all service clubs -- Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Optimists, etcetera; a convention that should include, as well, citizens' associations and civil society bodies of all types with one item on the agenda: "Discussion of urgent measures to unify the nation to overcome the national economic and social crisis"," the NIA Executive Director declared.
According to him "a major contributor to Jamaica's non-performance has been and continues to be corruption" which involves the granting of contracts based on politics or as a result of bribes and kickbacks; failure to prosecute effectively, in some cases amounting to protection of white collar criminals and the corrupt use of tax waivers granted in return for political campaign contributions or political favours.
He went on to note that in 2010 and 2011 almost J$11 billion was given out in the form of tax waivers "without any measurable return to Jamaica in terms of employment nor income generation".
"Indeed, now is the eleventh hour or more precisely, it is the fifth day of the second 50 years of our Independence... put simply, we now have to deal with the main forms of corruption that currently block our development and are costing our people the chance of a satisfied life," he added.
In the meantime, the NIA Executive Director said the media should do more to "call a spade a spade while calling on public and civil society groups "which have no partisan political axe to grind" to "become more vocal". In addition, he said "politicians of integrity... need to take a firmer stand within the councils of each party and, if necessary in the public space, against the corrupt and the tribalists who, as well, are present on each side of the aisle".
"It is no longer enough to murmur and to grumble in muted tones against those who would discredit the finer traditions which exist in each party and worst those who would prejudice Jamaica's name and capacity to survive and to grow out of the present crisis," Professor Munroe said.

Phased Array Radar
|Share this thread:
Jan21-13, 01:28 PM
Let's say I want to use a phased array detector on a satellite to detect other objects in space. The radar would need to be able to detect objects .5cm or larger, and would have to get an accurate read on their position (within 10-15 m). From there, the goal would be to maximize the volume of space scanned per second. How much volume of space could I expect to scan this accurately per second? Obviously, the more the better. I am open to any variant of phased array (or any other method of radar if that would work better). It would also be a plus to be able to detect the velocity components and size of the object. Would there also need to be some kind of wave emitter to "paint" objects for the radar to detect?
Also, I am trying to understand how phased array works when detecting objects. I understand that the beam can be steered. Do most phased array radars work by scanning, say, a cone with a 2 degree angle, then just determining if an objects lies within that cone? Or can they determine where (in multiple dimensions) an object lies within that cone?
Kinda confused here. Thanks!

PF Gold
guss, I tried to extract specific questions you seem to be asking but I stopped this effort after writing out five questions because it became apparent that all the information you are asking for is contained in these two Wiki pages:
If, after studying these two sources, you have some doubts or further questions, please do post them here on Physics Forums.
Jan21-13, 09:14 PM
"Objects in space" sounds like "big distance"... People use to search for orbital debris to avoid collisions, and at a few 1000km range, 5cm tends to be the absolute lower limit.
Did you already check if you can detect one single object within a single pass? At 800km altitude, objects appear at 3,000km distance, stay visible for 10+min, then disappear at 3,000km. Serious challenge!
Just for comparison, a stealth combat aeroplane has like 1000cm2 radar cross-section and is detected at <100km range. But you could try to find figures from the Norad, if any is public.

Phased Array Radar
So, the radar beam would be steered, and when an object is detected, the beam could be focused to get more accurate readings. From my understanding, this is possible.
I still have some questions, though. It seems to me a very small setup (say, the size of a couple soda cans) could have a range of about 15km. This would probably compromise the close-range (less than 1km) capability, though, since you can't have close and long range on the same radar. What would be the smallest sized objects you could detect with a setup like this?
Additionally, I have learned a little bit about LIDAR. It seems like that could be used well here. I have had a lot of trouble finding information about optical phased array and LIDAR, though. Is this technology available? As in, with LIDAR, is it possible to steer the sensor and the beam electronically?
Thanks a lot!

A very small setup (say, the size of a couple soda cans) does not determine the smallest sized objects you could detect. This depends more on the power in the transmitted pulse, the frequency, and the target characteristics. A metal object, for example, will scatter (reflect) more incident energy than the same size refractory tile. The term for this is the radar cross-section. The aspect (orientation) of the object also determines how much energy is reflected. A jet fighter aircraft seen head on reflects far less energy than its side aspect would.
The physical size of a radar set does not determine what maximum and minimum ranges it can detect. See the below tutorials for detailed explanations of these radar set performance characteristics. Variables include transmitted pulse power, antenna gain, frequency, minimum discernible signal, transmission losses, and target characteristics.
Yes, the same radar set could be used to detect targets at both long ranges and also at short ranges. In nature, bats using acoustic pulses do exactly this by adjusting the pulse repetition frequency (prf). For long range detection of prey they transmit pulses with long time periods between them (a low prf). As they get closer to their targets, called the homing phase of the collision course they fly, they increase the prf so as to get more information rapidly to use for more detailed and fine course corrections. They end up with dinner in their mouth. Some modern radar guided air-to-air missiles do exactly this as they close on the target.
LIDAR systems are used to detect and track space junk. LIDAR systems are basically optical telescopes. As far as I know electromagnetic radiation in this region (optical) of the spectrum cannot be controlled by phase-controlled modulation as are radar beams. Therefore, no, it is not possible to steer the LIDAR sensor or beam electronically. There are systems in telescopes, however, that use piezoelectric actuators to deform the reflecting surfaces, so this may be construed as beam steering, but it is clearly a mechanical change in the reflecting surface.
Here are two radar tutorials that Ive selected. They are clearly written and will help you get a good basic understanding of radar operation and performance.
As for your main questions about detecting and tracking space debris, please see this Wiki page:
Saved the best for last: On this Wiki page if you look down at the references, please see these three sources for excellent descriptions of the equipments used:
113. A powerful radar facility for the detection and tracking of space debris and the imaging of space objects is available in the form of the 34 m dish radar at the Research Establishment for Applied Science (FGAN) at Wachtberg near Bonn, in Germany. This offers lots of the technical specifications of the radar.
114. Laser Tracking of Space Debris, Ben Greene, Electro Optic Systems Pty Limited, 55A Monaro Street Queanbeyan NSW 2620 Australia
The laser ranging equations are well documented in the literature. These clearly show that ranging to space debris is possible if the following parameters are scaled upwards sufficiently:
115. Orbital debris: Optical Measurements", NASA Orbital Debris Program Office. Optical telescopes.
Jan23-13, 12:54 PM
Thanks! I will read the tutorials. It seems to me like radar is the way to go here, since phased array comes with redundant reliability and no need to mechanically steer the parts. I believe that I should be able to detect small objects at longer ranges without too much of a hassle, as well. I'll keep LIDAR in mind, though.

12 Dead at Pakistan Lawyers' Rally
Posted Jul 17, 2007 4:07 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A suicide bomb blast today at a Pakistan rally for lawyers supporting the country's embattled chief justice has killed at least 12 people.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry was not injured; the bomb went off near the podium where he was to speak in Islamabad, the country's capital, but while he was still several miles away from the site. Officials are still investigating but at least 12 were killed and 40 were injured, reports the Associated Press.
Chaudhry, who was suspended in March by Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, for alleged misconduct, has since been a catalyst for public protest of the country's military-dominated rule. As discussed by ABAJournal.com on May 14 and in previous posts, thousands have rallied in support of Chaudhry and judicial independence following his refusal to step down voluntarily as Pakistan's top judge.
The Pakistan Supreme Court has been reviewing Chaudhry's suspension and is expected to rule as early as Friday.

So. Miss Groups Want to Grow Nature TourismBy Evelina Burnett | Published 17 Sep 2013 12:32pm |

South Mississippi outdoor and tourism leaders want to put the region on the map for nature tourists. As MPB's Evelina Burnett reports, wildlife tourism is already a $2 billion business in the state, and they're hoping to make it even bigger.
Local outfitters, natural area managers and tourism leaders are getting together to find ways to spread the word about opportunities like this one to enjoy Mississippi's outdoors. Melissa Scallan is with the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, which hosted a nature tourism summit last week.
Cynthia Ramseur, an owner of South Coast Paddling Company and president of Natural Capital Development, says the summit showed the need for a common repository for information about nature tourism.
Ramseur says a smaller taskforce formed during the summit will now look at what steps to take next to help attract more nature tourists, and to connect these tourists with community amenities. She also thinks nature tourism has a role in the larger tourism picture by helping overcome misperceptions about what the state has to offer visitors.
The task force will provide its recommendations on November 1.

In honor of Thanksgiving, a wine company asked me to do a guest post on who or what I wanted to give thanks to in sport. I chose Andre Johnson because he's one of the few bright spots in a sea of Houston sports suckage and fail.
Blog post here in pop-up window: Giving Thanks for Andre Johnson
If I get the most comments on my Andre Johnson blog post, I win a silly prize and bragging rights of being, I don't know, queen of wine or something. (Being the actual queen of wine would be better than a Netflix gift certificate, I think). I don't really care about the prize--I just won't pass up an opportunity to say nice things about AJ to the world at large.
So far, my blog post has two comments, one from Lonespot.. The blogger from NYC has 24 comments in support of Mike Wallace. (Wallace, really? Out of ALL the people/things to thank?) I am hoping that this is not symbolic of the score of Texans-Jets.
If you can help me out some, you don't need to leave a long comment. Just saying "Hail!!" would be sufficient. It asks for your email to deter cheating, but I've been assured they will not spam you. One comment per person counts. If you are a Twitter type person, RTing this also counts as a vote.
If the spirit moves, it wouldn't be bad to leave an actual comment at the blog post. I'd like to see a bunch of Texans commenters talking about their thoughts on him.
I figure y'all appreciate Andre Johnson. And BRBers are certainly prolific commenters. And I will go on to say, if it helps at all, how handsome/beautiful and smart you are online. So I'd appreciate any help you can give on this.

Bio Synergy Branch Chain Amino Acids 2.1.1 (120 capsules)

2 reviews
- Delivery
Bio-Synergy Branch Chain Amino Acids Power Your Muscles! Bio-Synergy BCAA is composed of the branch chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine to provide you with the building blocks essential for the construction of strong, healthy muscles. BCAA builds the proteins that form the basis for muscle growth and muscle energy during tough workouts. How BCAA can help YOU: BCAA is composed of essential amino acids that aren't produced in the body and are used to build new proteins or to be burnt as fuel and top up your energy levels. The amino acids - leucine, isoleucine, and valine - are particularly important for athletes because they're processed in the muscles, not in the liver like other amino acids, and have a direct link to muscle growth and strength. Build Your Muscles - Amino acids work with protein following exercise to increase muscle growth. Taken immediately after exercise and during recovery, Bio-Synergy BCAA will help increase your muscle mass. Additionally, taking amino acids before a work-out will increase their availability during times when there is increased blood flow to the muscles and maximises their delivery to the muscles. Power Through Your Workouts - Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. These acids are incredibly important to our bodies as they help build and repair tissue and produce chemicals which aid brain function. During exercise, amino acids are broken down and delivered to your muscles through your bloodstream, giving them vital energy and foundations for rebuilding and strengthening.
