This tribe's created for us who have our ascendants ruling planet in this house. How has it affected your lives? Have your lives been full of pain and loneliness? Share your thoughts and ideas regarding this matter.
I've personally got Scorpio rising, with Pluto in the 12th house.
I've personally got Scorpio rising, with Pluto in the 12th house.

Me too! Scorpio Rising with Pluto in the 12th... conjunct Venus (in Libra)
Plenty of pain here, especially last few months (nonstop). But plenty of good stuff too.
What do you know about ascendant ruler in 12th house?
Well, we tend to focus on, and live the life our chart ruler falls under, and this is the description I've found:
Pluto in 12th House
*You have a deep interest in secrets, the underworld or unconscious, and anything hidden and mysterious. Psychoanalysis, investigating your dreams, and other methods of uncovering secrets are very interesting to you. You may be exceptionally perceptive intuitively or psychically. Your emotions and subconscious energies are complex, and periodic transformations and personal crises are sprinkled liberally throughout your lifetime.
Death has played a large part in creating doubt about your abilities. Use private time to examine your present knowledge and skills, and you may find that confidence replaces doubt. You need the quiet moments to build your power.
^Since you have Pluto in your 12th House you may be tempted to repress your emotions, particularly those which have to do with those deep needs which spring from the shadowy side of yourself. You may even have problems with depression or addictive behaviors which create a kind of emotional trap until you learn to delve into the depths of your being and clean out the ghosts and dragons from your past which still haunt your dreams. Old resentments can also act like a potion which poisons your imagination and undermines your ability to trust your inner self. Once you've conquered your own demons, you may feel driven to help others confront their own, and can become an extremely effective healer.
I know the Liliths has been trasiting Scorpio over the last few months.
Scorpio Asc here too. though Pluto is in 10th.
Now is a time to experience and face the dark sides of life.
this is a good time to incorporate the shadows,
doing something creative helps to balence this energy.
P.S. curiosity sake. were is your Asc. Deg. mine is mid sign 16 deg. the heavyest time for me was a few months ago, when the Liliths were mid sign.
Cancer rising, Moon in the 12th.
Lonelinessss, yes. Which is a burden as well as a blessing.
Loneliness, or rather aloneness, can be heaven.
But lately it's been driving me crazy.
Here's another description which sounded really true 2 me:
With Pluto in the 12th House consciousness is opening up to a power which can 'will into being'. Pluto in H12 has access to the Creator's power and the purposes to which he will use it will reflect his level of development: he can manifest what he lusts after or he can will into being what he knows to be of benefit to mankind. For whatever he brings into being he will be held directly responsible.
A person with this placement of Pluto frequently knows much cruelty and abuse in childhood, be it of a physical, emotional or mental kind, and the perpetrators are usually the parents or guardians who have power over the child by virtue of their custodial role. From them the child has little opportunity to escape at the physical level and in order to get away he forces open a shutter in the mind which gives him access to enormous psychic power.
It is the law of the 12th House that for what is denied at the physical level is compensated at the immaterial.
The power of a person with Pluto in H12 is most readily evidenced by their often unconscious use of what has become known in New Age circles as Creative Visualisation: if he can hold an image or picture an outcome and give it his emotional energy he can bring it into being.
When used consciously, Pluto in H12 gives a person great charisma and the ability to make others into the agents of the outworking of his will. The responsibilities of this are enormous and the karma incurred through the use of the power conferred by Pluto in H12 is unlikely to be burned off in the course of a single lifetime. A person with this placement, if he is to work consciously with his powers, needs to be able to recognise and resist the voice of his desire nature.
Unsu...But then I wonder, doesn't everyone have this power?
We all learn from early on, that "if you really believe in something, it'll come true." Even those who do not have pluto in the 12th house can make it work. Besides, I don't want to believe that everything I've achieved so far happened just because I have pluto in my 12th house because I worked hard for everything I've achieved so far.
Where does emotional energy and your actual effort begin? How can you know if you're wasting "karma" energy or your "actual" energy? How do you define that?
i'm a cancer rising with my moon in the 12th too, I just recently decided to start looking stuff up on this, I was always aware of my moon being in the 12th house, and then all of a sudden was like wait! thats my charts ruler! ... gotta be more behind the scene stuff going on.. hmm..
i also just found out that there's been a moon opposite saturn transit going on for a while now... don't know if its still transiting or what... but that could be the reason for the loneliness/aloneness driving you crazy lately.. and i totally agree with you btw. ::sighs:: ::hugs::
Unsu...Steph, Amazing, I'm 12th Moon and Pluto in Virgo. Has your life been beyond hell, like a horror movie? I'd be curious to share notes. firstname.lastname@example.com.
thank you for this post, sarah,
I have pluto in 12 too, and scorpio rising.
What's definitely true for me is the importance of the subconscious and dreams. I learnt to rely on my dreams, because they often show me the way to go, and also they just solve conflicts I had when I went to bed. Often, what seems to be very difficult in my daytime is simplified to very archaic themes like sex, fear, violence, death, jealousy, love, transcendence, and they are then either just solved or brought into my next day so I can handle them.
There are recurring themes in my dreams though of which I can't figure out a sense yet. They're frightening me indeed.
So I would say, pluto in 12 can scare you. Your job is to find the key, the underlying theme to your dreams or habits; with pluto in 12, you should have no problem with that.
Unsu...Is it common/normal to have one's ascendant ruler in the 12th house?
I'm a Sag asc with Jupiter in 12th.
the odds are 1:12
you win the abundant spirit prize
Unsu...<Gasp! Stunned.> Thank you, thank you. Gosh... I'd like to dedicate this award to all the little people and...and...the big people who've <thinking>...and, of course, THE ONE...who've made it possible for me to be here today. *I'm so excited!* Thank you! Thank you so much! I <sigh> am honoured.
Unsu...Yes, but this is astrology... the odds are skewed. Most births happen late in the year, not Jan/Feb/March. It's not pure science.
Unsu...Oh, and I forgot... one day in the car I channelled this one. "With Pluto in 12th, our dreams come true, but so do our nightmares."
>>"With Pluto in 12th, our dreams come true, but so do our nightmares."
There seems to be a hell of a lot of truth in this. I'm not sure quite how to react.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.Wait a minute here, who is the ruler of scorpio, Pluto or Mars ? I have my mars in 12th house. Until now I thought the ruler of my ascendant( scorp) is Mars..
This seems very true to me,
I am a scorpio rising with pluto in the 12th and i can manifest and dream like its no ones buisiness,
i named my son before i hit puberty. (cancer sun)
but everytime i have a bad feeling about something wallah it happens,
and sometimes i wonder whether i am sensing the future or creating it because the feelings i have when i am sensing that something will happen are different than the ones that i have when i am creating. hmm... just wondering,
Unsu...I have capricorn rising, and saturn ( conj neptune & uranus ) in the 12th. Saturn is on an aries point 0 degrees and in capricorn.
Unsu...Well I can only speak for myself, and say no to my life being full of pain.
I got a Virgo Rising, with Virgo Moon in 12th. Mercury is in Cancer, 10th.
12th house is ruled by Leo w/Sun in Cancer, 10th.
Cancer ruled by the Moon...... So I am halfway there!
It has always been a bit backwards. Seems the universe wanted me to help others figure out their emotional turmoil. I had already experienced near death at 4. Lots of emotional dilemma's I was placed in when I was a young tiger. It caused allot of confusion at the time, but sparked lots of self-evaluation. I can remember being a baby, and frustrated that I could understand others but couldn't talk yet. I believe the 12th house Moon had made me emotionally self-contained and insulated character, who would rather be a Victor then a Victee. I'm a survivor! No time to dwell in self-pity, or punish myself for others actions. I don't play the victim card.
Having 2 Sag Parents, Leo Sister, Aries Brother...... I was not allowed to be my own brand of emotions persay. The fire burnt me out.
I grew up, and moved out. Last few years have been bliss, pure heaven!
Its all character building though.....................
I like that I got a 12th house Moon. It has proven itself in the long run. Only way I can relate it towards my Mother is that she has been working for a Catholic hospital as her only job since she was 18. She isn't cold or distant..... Just the oldest of 7. I see it as having an unconscious connection to the collective! I got the entire universe right in front of me, as Neptune is in my 4th house.
You come, and fall into my world :)
I live and breathe rational thought. Ideas and attitudes stay inside me while they are mixed, simmered, cooked and digested. They are then served up, full blown. "This is what I think about it, period, paragraph." You may question me for you own edification; you may discuss things with me to improve your understanding but under no circumstances may you belittle my ideas because I have turned myself wrong-side-out already and I can not take the rejection of my naked brain. You see my emotion is not in what I say but in what I don't say, not in my idea per se but in the process I went through to come up with it. You are supposed to think it's easy to reveal myself. My security is in hiding behind my righteous intellect.
I have Virgo rising virgo moon and virgo pluto in my 12th. Kind of had the same experiences as you.Near death especially and I remember being an infant too strange of a world we lived in. I moved out at 18 and never went back. I am a survivor! And I also have a difficult time explaining myself its not easy being green when the world around you is black and white.
i got scorpio rising, with pluto-saturn-mars in my H12, all in conjunction.
is it a dreadful combination, or what?
thank god i got jupiter in my H1.
I have Sun and Mars conjunct in the 12th and Scorpio Rising, so I guess one of the rising sign's rulers. I never really noticed it too much. Mostly I see my Scorpio Rising at 0 00 which is very similar to the Pluto in the 12th readings but so is my Pluto Moon for that matter. Overall, Pluto and Scorpio have a powerful effect on my chart to the point they almost obliterate any Libra in me. It's always been that way. I remember too much, all of it from the time I was two, experienced too much cruelty and escaped into my own mind (which I totally love and wouldn't trade for anything). So is that rising sign ruler in the 12th, Scorpio Rising or Neptune in the 1st house in Scorpio sitting conjunct my ascendant? It could be any of those or many more things in my chart.
Libra ascendant and Venus in the 12th... also sun in libra in the 12th. I don't know if the second one is relevant.
A bit confused, is there an idea in astrology that if the ruler of your ascendant is in the 12th house life will be difficult/painful? And if so what would be the reason for this astrologically speaking?
I am a Scorpio Rising but my Pluto is in the 11/12 house cusp, two degrees before the 12th house starts. There are some things I identify with regarding 12th house Pluto. But since Pluto is a slow-moving planet, is the fact that it's on the cusp less significant?
Ruler of the 1st House in the 12th House
While shy in youth, as you mature you tend to find ways of handling and masking your sensitivity. Your intuition is strong, and you naturally understand that there are hidden forces in life that influence the daily goings-on. You tend to always be seeking something higher--such as a greater meaning or understanding of life and your place or purpose in it. There is something mysterious and private to your aura. At times, you may feel a lot of anxiety. Although you are capable of being alone, sometimes loneliness consumes you and vague doubts and fears haunt you. You are a perceptive person, and managing your deep sensitivity is something that can be a lifelong task.
I am a Gemini rising with Mercury in Gemini in the 12th house. I am a single mom and raised 2 daughters (both in college now). My oldest daughter is a Libra rising with Venus in Libra in the 12th house. My youngest daughter is Scopio rising 29 degrees with Pluto in Scorpio in the 12th house.
My Mercury in the 12th house allows me to tap into the Universal Consciousness. When I give astrology readings, I continually hear "I was just thinking about that" or "I just had a conversation on that yesterday." I am a systems analyst by day, astrologer by night.
My daughter's Venus in the 12th...she has been in serious, long term relationships since she was 16 years old. Her plan is to become a fashion designer/merchandiser. She has a love of colors, so make up and clothes is how she expresses that creativity. I think she has the ability to channel her creations.
My daughter with Pluto in Scorpio in the 12th...wow, she is intense. Prophetic dreams that she now uses as a tool in her life. She is the keeper of secrets. Her goal is to become a therapist/psychologist, maybe using astrology in her practice. She's already done the 12th house jail thing when she got an MIP and mouth'ed off to the police office who could have just given her a ticket but hauled her into jail for a 4 hour stay (maximum duration for MIP).
I just find it fascinating that me and my 2 daughters have our chart ruler in the 12th house. The beauty is that we are connected in such a deep way because we naturally understand and appreciate the darker sides of ourselves.

Jellies are back!
February 23, 2015
When they arrived today I was so scared they'd be too big because of how they looked but when Iput them on they fit absolutely PERFECT! It took me back to my young r years instantly even with the jelly smell lol. I ordered the smokey color in a 7. I Have a somewhat wide foot so I do suggest getting your regular normal shoe size if you have wide feet. If you have really narrow feet or regular narrow feet I suggest to size down.
Pros:Can be worn with anything Color is exactly how it appears online Comfortable

I loveeeeee them 😍!!
April 29, 2014
I just received my pair of clear jellies today but I absolutely love them already😍!! They're definitely true to size and they're so cute. Wear with or without socks, they're fun either way. The time of arrival with shipping was decent. Packaging was good as well. I recommend for anyone that loves cute footwear. I just wish they would get more colors like lavender or a lilac color *cough cough, hint hint 😜* but other than that everything is great. (P.s.) I wear a size 6/6.5 in girls and I got a size 6 in these and they fit great.
Pros:They're so comfy. True to size. Stylish. So affordable.
Cons:I wish they came in more colors. The metal piece that goes in the hole for the adjustable strap may be a little too loose on the buckle.

Too big
March 28, 2014
I usually wear a 6.5 but 7 fits fine. I bought size 7 in these and they're pretty big on me, they definitely run a little bit large. Otherwise they seem to be pretty comfy and good quality. For what they are, they're pretty comfortable, but the bottoms on them are pretty hard and not squishy like the ones I remember having as a kid. I'll probably just buy another pair and try to sell these, I'd like to exchange them but return shipping costs as much as the shoes do.
Pros:Look like the picture
Cons:Too big

Love my Jellies!!
March 6, 2014
I've been wanting jellies since the end of last summer, and it was sort of pointless by the time they'd caught my eye. I bought a pair of the JuJu Babes form Asos on sale and these are perfect dupes! Same construction and weight. Love love love the shoe. Comfy and really cute with patterned socks under them! I wear a 7.5 and I got them in a 7, they're a perfect fit.
Pros:Really perfect for the beach because they can get wet without getting soggy. Super cute! Not heavy at all.
Cons:They don't come in half sizes, so good luck and I wouldn't really wear them without socks unless I'm near water because my feet would sweat like baby pigs.

My first post!
This thread is awesome!
My own tip to add: Don't remove your clothes from the hangers to fold, unpack then rehang in your room. Leave them on the hanger when you put them in the suitcase then just hang up when in your room. We just implemented this our last trip and it was such a time saver! We use the white and black plastic hangers from Target or Walmart.
All of these tips are so useful! I only have a couple to add, and they may not be that bizarre, but I do it anyway.
Technically its not packed, but I always leave the phone number and address of the vet & emergency clinic for our cat sitter. (I also leave copies of vaccinations) Useful; we recently went on vacation and one cat got sick, luckily sitter had all the information necessary!
When in the parks or at home, I also won't post what I'm doing or where I am on facebook or twitter; I also turned off the geo-tagging feature that is the standard setting on most smartphone images. No reason to advertise to anyone who knows where you live that you're enjoying the magic far from home, right?
Old-fashioned film canisters are the perfect size for pills; allergy, ibuprofen, acetaminophen-I always keep some on me just in case.
I also carry eye drops since somehow I always wind up with something in my eye and I don't want to scratch my lenses. Can't enjoy the Disney magic if my eye's squinched shut all day!
I know this was listed somewhere before, but I buy the little bottles of bubbles (I think 24 in a box and I buy 2) from either the craft store or Oriental Trading Company. I take a couple bottles everyday to the park and let my 13 yo daughter hand them out when she sees a child that needs some cheer. Of course, sometimes she uses them herself!
I absolutely have to have white noise when I sleep, at home I have a HEPA filter in my room, but when I travel I never go anywhere without this: http://www.amazon.com/Marpac-SleepM...HFGM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1295222615&sr=8-3 It's not cheap (though you can get it cheaper than listed there), but its small and makes real fan noise (electronic noise doesn't cut it for me) - great for use with kids to mask other noises in unfamiliar places.
I've seen this recommended before as an 'organization tool' - pack outfits in ziploc bags, etc. We did this the last trip to disney and I'll never do it again. Maybe fine for a carryon, but we did it for our checked bags. After much searching we never could find the brand new Tinkerbell PJs I packed for my daughter, we thought maybe they got left at home, but they weren't home either, best I can figure is security opened my bag and since all the ziploc bags were slippery together the PJs fell out and they didn't notice.
For those who use the packing cubes, do you fold your clothes and lay them flat in the cubes or do you roll them and put them in the cubes? I've seen several people recommend rolling clothes to save space and prevent wrinkles, but think it would take up too much space if using cubes.
Insted of using ice packs, I freeze caprice sun packs or juice boxes over night and use them. even before they melt, its "entertaining" it squish and try to drink while waiting for a parade or in line... I'm 22 years old and i still find it "entertaining"
great thread.....subbing!!!!
love the drink lid popsicle dripping catcher thingy idea!!!!
thanks for adding to my disney tirp planning obsession
I didn't read all the posts. I will, I'm just too lazy now! We are bringing purell and baby wipes. The padding on the seats for Splash mountain was really stinky in October. Even after we washed our hands, you could still smell it. We love the ride though, so we will take precautions not to be stinky.
For women/girls. Sometimes "Aunt Flo" comes when you lest expect her. Feminine products are outrageos at Disney! I bought a box of 20 "colapsed" products for my suitcase. I'd rather have that little bit of room used up in my suitcase than pay as much as I did for a 10 pack in December!
I am bringing a HUGE back we bought last time from WDW to bring home souviners! It is a big vinyl bag that we bought at the Contempory our last night! It is as big as our suitcace. Last time we brought boogie boards and a HUGE shamou home in it!
AWESOME thread BTW!!! I also pack bottles of water in my suitcase but make sure I don't go over the limit. The bag that I am bringing my blanket and shoes in I put the most bottles of water in. But other than that I divide them amongst the bags!!
Oh and we bring little square terrycloth towels you can get for a $1. perfect for the bag after the wet rides for faces and hands!! Or I just used mine for sweat and glasses!
We like to pack the Shamwows - they work pretty well wiping down wet strollers!
We also did this when my son was 3. Worked perfectly.
oh also I know the water mister bottles with fans are HANDY! but last time that is how my big camera got ruined because when they weren't used I want the holder of these. So wiht those we got, form family dollare, the little handheld disney fans and they also glowed in the dark! Perfect for night time and the heat.
note to everyone! be really careful when freezing water bottles. I was on a class trip several years ago and froze a disposable water bottle so it would stay cool for the whole trip, but when i went to open it the water shot straight up and hit the roof of the bus! i got soaked and so did everyone around me! heres a tip: if you're going to buy those disposable water bottles and freeze them- OPEN IT FIRST!! this will prevent the pressure in the water bottle from building up after being frozen to avoid quite the big mess.

I love to learn knew things, meet new people, go see different places, love art and great food.
I think the people that use AIRBNB as a means to find places to stay are very considerate, educated, very polite and many more good qualities. I have had the opportunity to meet two couples and a single British gentlemen and had enjoyed sharing with them. When I am in Costa Rica I love to show them around the Flamingo area.

Palin urges grassroots at conservative summit to support impeachment of Obama
I think there's a strong case for the impeachment of President Obama. However, the current crop of establishment Republicans in Washington don't have the political will to get it started. I think Palin already knows and is just whipping up the conservative base against cowardly GOPers.
WashingtonTimes reports former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin urged the grassroots Saturday to support her call for the impeachment of President Obama, imploring conservatives to push the idea with Congress.
"There's only one remedy for a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors, and it's impeachment," said Ms. Palin. "It's the I word. You don't need some fancy law degree hanging on your wall there to know laws are not being enforced today. Illegal immigrants all over the world also know that."
The former Republican vice-presidential candidate spoke to a crowd here at the Western Conservative Summit, sponsored by the Centennial Institute.
Ms. Palin drew headlines two weeks ago when she called for the president's impeachment, citing the flood of border-crossing children as the last straw, but House Speaker John Boehner quickly put the kibosh on the proposal, saying, "I disagree."
"Alone, not defending borders is dereliction of duty, violating the oath of office," said Ms. Palin. "If that's not impeachable, nothing is. If he's not impeachable no one is."

When I first chose medicine as a career, I envisioned my future self as many things:
A scientist. An advocate. A teacher. A healer.
My imagination ran wild with the possibilities.
- I imagined myself as a super-hero of sorts with endless energy and insight into what needed to be done for my patients and my community, and I imagined I could do it.
- I imagined a caring, practical clinician with endless patience and a great sense of humor.
- I imagined providing comfort to my patients and their families during difficult times.
- I imagined myself being able to reach kids from rough upbringings and help to convince them that they were important and could succeed.
- I imagined giving strength to new mothers as they learn to cope with the difficulties of their new role.
- I imagined that I would learn something new every day, from my colleagues, my students, and from my patients.
- I imagined that I would become a voice in my community, advocating for things that will improve the lives of kids everywhere.
- I imagined becoming a role model for other little girls who may think that becoming a doctor seems out of reach.
- I imagined being able to share what I have learned with students and residents.
- I imagined myself looking for answers to unanswered questions in medicine.
- I imagined leading the fight to ensure that every child could rely on quality health care.
- Most of all, I imagined that my efforts would in some way, touch the life of another that could give them some measure of comfort, understanding, or hope.
A pretty wild imagination? Maybe. Some advisors said I should focus my efforts. "Don't think too big," they argued. "Pick one thing and run with that," others advised. Now over a decade later I would have to respectfully disagree.
Just like we all benefit from encouraging a child who dreams up their future career as an astronaut, a firefighter, an entrepreneur, or the President of the United States, a wild imagination can often lead to pretty big things…and smaller things too. And at the end of the day, sometimes the smaller things are what can actually bring a huge sense of purpose to your life, and help just as many.
Some of us may speak on Capitol Hill as an advocate for child safety, while another may kindly and patiently explain to a family that:Yes, the proper car seat is really, really important, and No, immunizations do not cause autism.
One may find satisfaction in investigating the science and epidemiology behind the obesity epidemic, while countless others are more than content to fight obesity at the smallest scale, one family at a time. Some become leaders in teaching while others teach one student at a time.
Some of us may lead the national fight for teen's access to contraceptives, while another will spend extra time really getting to know at-risk teens in their practice in order to build trust, educate, and hopefully have a positive impact on the choices they make.
Whether we head up a landmark scientific study, or spend 40 years treating a generation of children into adulthood, our career is what we make of it. We can engage in research and still have clinical time to treat the under served populations that sparked that interest in research. We can be an advocate for our patients on a local or even national scale and still be regarded as some family's favorite doctor.
One should point out that we can also, at any point in our career, to decide to change course. We can become more involved in one aspect of pediatrics while we dial back another. Our interests and circumstances may change.
We may have aspirations of grandeur or many "mini-goals," but the fact is that each one of us is a piece in a greater puzzle, a movement to improve the health of all children. We can be whatever part of the puzzle we choose.
Which puzzle piece will you be?
ABOUT OUR GUEST POST CONTRIBUTOR: Jessica Lazerov received her MD from the University of Maryland where she also completed her Pediatrics Residency. She is now an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at The George Washington School of Medicine and works in the Southeast DC Children's Health Centers. She is interested in health care disparities and working with underserved populations in addition to understanding and treating childhood and adolescent obesity. She enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband and two "spirited" children. Read another post by Dr Lazerov here

6 1/2" Poly Treated Cone WooferPoly treated paper cone driver combines the benefits of a lightweight rigid cone, with the moisture resistance of polypropylene. It is perfect in compact two way enclosures and in automotive applications.
I tested this in a system that uses Pyle tweeters and they do well for guitar and general music reproduction. There is some flapping in the cone when a play kick drum samples but I think it could be my amp. Best when used as a midrange in a three way system or as a woofer in a two way system that utilizes a seperate subwoofer.

Meaning and Truth: Essential Readings in Modern Semantics
Contemporary semantic theory rests upon lively theoretical disputes about the meaning of words, the proper form of semantic theory, and, ultimately, on the very possibility of semantic theory itself. Jay L. Garfield and Murray Kiteley have collected, in Meaning and Truth, the definitive articles on the history of semantics and the primary voices debating the interpretation of description, the theory of truth intensionality, the structure of meaning, natural language, and the relation of semantics to pragmatics. The details, complexities, and charming eccentricities of language thus become visible against a background of abstract theory. Undergraduate and graduate students of semantics, linguistics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy of language will now be able to encounter all of the important theoretical debates of modern semantics in a single volume. Selections begin with the classic essay by Mill, "Of Names and Propositions," include such standards as "General Semantics" by Lewis and "Actualism" by Plantinga, and conclude with a chapter on "Linguistic Approaches to Semantics.">

Suggested Format for Case Analyses: 1. Executive Summary: brief 1 paragraph stating key problem(s) and your main recommendation(s)/decision(s). 2. Problem Identification: 1-2 page write-up of the key problem(s) you have identified within the case. This should not be a re-hash of the case itself. The Case Study questions should help you address the issues in this section. 3. Action Plan: 1-2 page write-up of your proposed solution to the problem(s) with detailed steps as to how to proceed with implementing your proposal. 4. Financial Analysis: 1-2 page write-up of the financial analysis that supports the recommendation(s) you have presented in the Executive Summary and Action Plan. Use an electronic spreadsheet to do the calculations and print out these figures as an attachment to your case analysis. Case Study Questions: Tiffany & Co.—1993: 1. Should Tiffany actively manage its yen-dollar exchange rate risk? Why or why not? 2. If Tiffany were to manage its exchange rate risk activity, then what should be the objectives of such a program (e.g., what specific purpose or theoretical rationale can justify a decision to hedge the yen-dollar risk)? 3. Assuming Tiffany wanted to hedge this risk, try to identify what exposures should be managed via such a hedging program (e.g., hedge sales, net income, cash flow, etc.). Also, try to quantify how much of these exposures should be covered and for how long. 4. Identify, in terms of cost, benefits, and risk, the relative advantage / disadvantage of the following three hedging strategies: a) do nothing, b) hedge with forward or futures contracts, and c) hedge with option contracts. Cephalon, Inc. (Mid-term Case and Group Presentation): 1. How much business and financial risk does Cephalon face? How do these risks relate to each other? What factors might mitigate some of these risks? 2. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is SBC's option priced fairly for Cephalon? 3. How should Cephalon finance its projected cash needs in order to maximize shareholder value? That is, what set of securities (and in what dollar amounts) should the firm issue to maximize the firm's value? Arundel Partners: 1. First, read the HBS Tutorials and then read the Arundel case to answer these and the following questions: Why do the principals of Arundel Partners think they can make money buying movie sequel rights? Why do the partners want to buy a portfolio of rights in advance rather than negotiating film-by-film to buy them? 2. Estimate the per-film value of a portfolio of sequel rights such as Arundel proposes to buy. [There are several ways to approach this problem, all of which require some part of the data set in Exhibits 6-9. You may find it helpful to consult the Appendix, which explains how these figures were prepared.] You can use either DCF, real options, or both valuation techniques to answer this question. 3. What are the primary advantages and disadvantages of the approach you took to valuing the rights? What further assistance or data would you require to refine your estimate of the rights' value? Carrefour S.A. (Final Case Analysis): 1. Should Carrefour be pursuing an expansionary strategy financed by debt at this time? That is, is the firm's strategy likely to enhance shareholder value and, if so, then is it acceptable for the firm to use debt to finance this expansion? 2. Assume for the rest of the questions that Carrefour wants to issue the bond described in the case. In this situation, what currency should the firm issue its 10- year, 750 million euro, annual coupon bond? Briefly explain/justify your choice. 3. What foreign currency risk exposure, if any, does your recommendation in #1 create (if any)? Please be specific about the most likely amount at risk during each year of the bond's life. 4. Should the firm hedge any or all of the risk identified in #2 above? Briefly explain why or why not. 5. What hedging instruments, if any, should be used to hedge any possible bond- related currency risk? 6. Based on the Smithson chapters, what market imperfections (if any) can be reduced based on your response to #4 above? Briefly explain. 7. Briefly describe what operational risks and/or other non-financial risks the firm faces if they decide to continue to increase their non-French revenues?

"Wake Up"
I have read 2 other titles by James Redfield. This one may seem the same but it actually picks up where the Eleventh Insight left off. He tells a story but at the same time, he is giving you information that is very beneficial. I recommend his books if you are looking for a path towards spirituality. The only thing I did not like is the quality of the audio, its a little scratchy. Other than that, it is a book worth listening to and reading. I will probably still buy the book so that I can outline some things that are good to remember and included in my daily life.

Greg Derek and Ryan Weston are bulky guys, and they are also incredibly in love with each other's cocks. The scene starts with Greg taking a look at Ryan's dick, then opening his mouth wide enough to engulf that dick. He starts licking his tongue up and down that shaft, then working him more and more. They are both horny as hell by the time the pants come off of Greg, and then it's time for the hard ass fucking. He keeps on pounding more and more, and by the time he is doing they are dripping and satisfied.

handlebars loader module for webpack
handlebars template loader for
General Usage
webpack configuration
module: loaders: test: /\.handlebars$/ loader: "handlebars-loader"
Your JS making use of the templates
var template = require"./file.handlebars";// => returns file.handlebars content as a template function
The loader resolves partials and helpers automatically. They are looked up relative to the current directory (this can be modified with the
rootRelative option) or as a module if you prefix with
A file "/folder/file.handlebars".{{> partial}} will reference "/folder/partial.handlebars".{{> ../partial}} will reference "/partial.handlebars".{{> $module/partial}} will reference "/folder/node_modules/module/partial.handlebars".{{helper}} will reference the helper "/folder/helper.js" if this file exists.{{../helper}} {{$module/helper}} are resolved similarly to partials.
The following query options are supported:
- helperDirs: Defines additional directories to be searched for helpers. Allows helpers to be defined in a directory and used globally without relative paths.
- runtime: Specify the path to the handlebars runtime library. Defaults to look under the local handlebars npm module, i.e.
- extensions: Searches for templates with alternate extensions. Defaults are .handlebars, .hbs, and '' (no extension).
- inlineRequires: Defines a regex that identifies strings within helper/partial parameters that should be replaced by inline require statements.
- rootRelative: When automatically resolving partials and helpers, use an implied root path if none is present. Default =
./. Setting this to be empty effectively turns off automatically resolving relative handlebars resources for items like
{{./helper}}will still resolve as expected.
webpack documentation for more information regarding loaders.
Full example
See example folder in this repo. The example is now fully runnable and demonstrates a number of concepts (using partials and helpers) -- just run
webpack in that directory to produce dist/bundle.js in the same folder.

I consider my little sewing room as an oasis when all around me is chaotic...I can just step into it and tune out the rest for a few moments. Even when the sewing room itself has many little stacks of units for a mystery quilt, or a pile of fabric for the next project waiting, it is still a harbor of peacefulness. I hope your space provides you with solace. I am grateful!

Saving Short Pump's Famed Oak Tree
The fate of a cherished decades-old oak tree in the heart of Short Pump has some members of the community worried, as the construction of a new martial arts studio occurs directly in front of it.
Some citizens in the area have become attached to the tree,which is more 40 years old and has a trunk 48 inches in diameter, and are hoping the new development in the Downtown Short Pump shopping center won't damage it.
"It's a tree that we've all enjoyed for years," said Glen Allen resident Joyce Major, one of many Short Pump residents who have viewed the tree as a landmark within the community. "The new development is blocking the tree from view so most people won't be able to see it, and it just can't be healthy for the tree."
The tree was known to former residents – and now many current residents in the area – as the "alligator tree," mainly because its base resembles the head of an alligator and is admired for its nearly perfect symmetry.
Master Cho's Tae Kwon Do and Martial Arts, a 17,000-square-foot, two-story facility, is currently under construction on 0.77 acre between the tree and Pouncey Tract Road, near Bowl America. It's expected to open in the spring.
Despite the concerns of some in the community, Henrico County planning officials and the owner of the martial arts studio believe they've taken extra care to ensure the tree's longevity.
"We fought to keep the tree there," said Three Chopt District Planning Commissioner Tommy Branin, whose district includes the site. The tree sits on land that has been owned by a local developer for 50 years. Officials from the planning commission met with the developer last year to request that the tree be saved, Branin said. The county previously had no official control over the fate of the tree because it was located on private property with no development conditions or restrictions that related to the tree.
Though the site already was zoned for commercial use, the Planning Commission had to approve a plan of development for the project. The commission negotiated proffers – development agreements – with the owners of the martial arts facility and their representatives in order to help save the tree from any possible harm during or after development, Branin said. Officials undertook other efforts, as well.
"An arborist came prior to construction and did tests and checked the health of the tree throughout the project," Branin said. Safeguards have been put up around it for protection, and an arborist will return after construction is complete to check the status of the tree.
Henrico County Recreation and Parks director Karen Mier recommended in a letter to planning officials in August 2009 that the tree be protected, noting that it could be recommended for a heritage tree protection designation in the future.
"Developers have taken the proper precautions needed in order to protect the tree," said David O'Kelly, assistant director of planning for the county.
Not everyone in Short Pump realized that the tree was being encroached upon by development.
"This is the first I'm hearing of it," said Norwood Nuckols, the Association for the Preservation of Henrico Antiquities liaison for the Henrico County Historical Society Executive Board. "We would be concerned; we don't want [anything] to happen" to the tree.
Alana Cho, owner of the martial arts studio, has planned to save the tree from the very beginning.
"We designed the building around the tree, and signs are up around it stating that it will not be harmed," said Cho. The facility will have large windows built in all around the facility with views of the tree, according to Cho.
An orange flexible fence has gone up around the tree for protection while the construction is underway. When Cho purchased the property several years ago, there was nothing there but an empty parking lot, land and the tree.
"We didn't want it to die so we've irrigated it all summer," said Cho. Before settling on the Pouncey Tract location, Cho had looked at several other spaces including Town Center West and West Broad Village shopping centers but was turned down by developers.
"They were upset about the number of people that would be coming to our building with the amount of parking spaces available," said Cho. She stressed that she's happy people are concerned about the tree and indicated that protecting it was a key part of her decision to open a new location on the site.
Despite the precautions being taken to protect the special landmark, Major wondered what's to become of the region in the years ahead.
"Does development trump everything?" she asked.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.
