Frequently asked questions
Charts > Circular charts
- How
can I determine which harmonic chart should be generated?
Enter a number in the 'start date' field in the page for 'extended chart selection'. The first number there is used as harmonic number, in the case of harmonic horoscopes.
- What
is the purpose of the "Nine Persona Charts"?
This is a method, developed by the German astrologer Peter Orban. Please, read the article on "Persona Charts" in the Understanding Astrology section of this website for more information.
- Is it possible
to show aspects between transits (or solar return) and natal positions?
Not directly. You can do a work around, if you enter the data of your solar return or transit chart as the chart of a second person and then select the chart type "Synastry Chart (2)" for your natal and the transit chart. This shows aspects between the outer (transit) and inner (natal) chart.
- What is the difference
between the "corrected" and "uncorrected" Davison Relationship
The Medium Coeli (MC) computed for the time midpoint, which is the basis of the Davison chart, deviates very slightly (usually by less than 1 degree) from the composite MC (computed as the midpoint between the two personal MCs). The time correction applied to the standard Davison chart brings its MC into perfect alignment with the meridian axis of the composite chart. Most astrologers read the composite chart and the Davison chart together.
In both cases, the location is computed by getting separately the midpoint between the two logitudes and the two latitudes. This is not the same as the midpoint along the shortest distance between the two points.
There are two experimental variants offered:
Spherical midpoint: here the shortest arc between the two natal places is divided into two. While theoretically this seems an attractiv option, it leads to a lot of circumpolar charts for couples born on different continents, i.e. Europe and America.
Reference location: The user can select a reference location for the chart.
- How can I change
the Universal Time on transit charts?
There's a trick. Display the transit chart and see that it shows UT: 00:00:00 below the date, in red, in the upper left corner.
Now edit the URL in the browser and append. &stx2=vshgmt=16 and press ENTER.
You will get the transits for UT 16:00.
For setting the minute, you need to use decimal hour fractions, e.g. vshgmt=16.5 will result in 16:30 UT etc.
- How is the progressed ascendant calculated?
The sideral time at birth (RAMC) is progressed with the daily sidereal time progress, also called the Naibod key, which as about 3m55s. For each year of progression, RAMC is progressed by this amount. MC, Ascendant and house cusps of the progressed chart are computed from the progressed RAMC.

I guess THursday nights are good business because it is another broadcast contract. Even though t NFL Network is doing it the NFL get the advertising dollars.
I guess THursday nights are good business because it is another broadcast contract. Even though t NFL Network is doing it the NFL get the advertising dollars.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
On the one hand it probably adds significant value to the NFLN and overall marketing. But I bet they could make more money selling it to a major network.
The other thing that irks me is TWC doesn't have the NFL Network.
I like it. To me, we aren't over-saturated with the NFL yet. I like it all: Sunday early, late and night games, MNF and Thursday football. I like it just fine. If it's a stink game, then turn the channel. (Some of the national games have been unwatchable, I will admit that. Even the announcers admitted how bad the game was last week. You never hear announcers saying, "This game is unwatchable" but they actually said that.
I think it's a good idea. I'm with those who think it could be "too much" football... In a more ideal world, I actually think MNF should just morph into TNF. But I think it's a good "get-together" sort of thing. Grab a six-pack or growler, call your buddy over, and watch a game... Then, go home and go to work.
When I first read your post, the first thing that I thought was, "Why would The Weather Channel have the NFL Network?"
Final Ruthless Mock:
1.22 CB Marcus Peters, 6'0" 197 lbs., Washington
2.56 FS Damarious Randall, 5'11" 196 lbs., Arizona State
3.87 TE Clive Walford, 6'4" 251 lbs., Miami
4.121 DE Henry Anderson, 6'6" 294 lbs., Stanford
5.160 WR Titus Davis, 6'1" 196 lbs., Central Michigan
6.199 OLB Kyle Emanuel, 6'3" 255 lbs., North Dakota State
6.212c OLB Max Valles, 6'5" 251 lbs., Virginia
7.239 RB John Crockett, 6'0" 217 lbs., North Dakota State
I just signed up for our cable's upgrade to NFL network, so will now get Thursday's games.... it was pretty cheap. We'll see how it goes this season on whether I stay with it.
I have no problem with the way it is.
What i do have an issue with is having the Thursday night game so close to the bye week. That was always like a mini-bye week to me. But this year we will have 10 more games remaining and no "breaks".
Wish THEY would start using some common sense once in a while. With all this talk of safety you think this would be a no-brainer when it comes to scheduling. idk...

M.A. Introduction
MA in Psychology in Education
The Gateway to the Mental Health Professions
The Master of Arts degree is intended for students interested in the field of Clinical Psychology and the mental health professions at large. This introductory-level graduate program provides foundational knowledge of psychopathology, treatment theories, and research methods. It is ideally suited for applicants who are looking to strengthen their background prior to applying to doctoral psychology programs. In addition, it is well matched for candidates who do not hold undergraduate degrees in psychology and who wish to gain exposure to the field.
Why the MA Program?
The Department of Clinical Psychology at Teachers College is a world-renowned training ground for researchers and clinicians, particularly known for innovation in pedagogy and clinical practice. Students within the MA Program are given an unprecedented opportunity to experience the demands of a graduate-level education in Clinical Psychology while also exploring the multiple avenues available in the ever-growing mental health field beyond. Our mission is to provide students with a platform to clarify their interests and then direct themselves toward their next professional goals. The field of applied psychology is vast. The MA Program exposes students to diverse perspectives and populations, and supports them with intensive academic advisement, so that they may discover the best fit for their unique abilities. Graduates of the MA Program leave prepared to confidently pursue higher education or gainful employment.
How does the MA Program work?
During their tenure, students are closely guided by MA Program Advisors, which include current Ph.D. students from the Clinical Psychology department. Advisors help to clarify students' academic goals, to gauge progress, and to assist with their professional development. MA Program Ambassadors, which include current 2nd year MA Students, also assist with community-building and information-sharing so that student needs are heard and creatively addressed. Through the innovative MA Program curriculum, which includes a combination of didactic instruction and experiential learning, students develop the critical thinking skills needed to interpret scientific knowledge, review traditional and contemporary treatment models, engage in innovative research, and contribute to fieldwork sites throughout New York City. By the end, students are intimately familiar with the depth and breadth of the Clinical Psychology orientation as a result of their tailored educational experience.
What is the MA degree for?
The MA Program is intended to awaken a student's passion and to give him/her the knowledge-base and skill-set to pursue it in earnest. Whether a student has a set path (e.g., to pursue a Ph.D. Program) or a vague hunch (e.g., to work with children), the MA Program offerings will allow for a range of opportunities. Regardless of background, students may unilaterally pursue a doctoral degree (Applied Track), immerse in a specialized area of Psychology (Spirituality Concentration), weave an interdisciplinary programs of study (Psychology and Nutrition), or pursue several of these approaches at once. The MA degree is not intended to prepare students for the independent practice of professional psychology and will not lead to licensure. It is instead designed with the notion that there is more than one road to achieving a fulfilling career in Psychology. Many of our graduates have applied their degree to pursue prestigious doctoral programs, to engage in compatible disciplines (Social Work, Neuroscience, Anthropology, Public Health), or to become more gainfully employed (Research Laboratories, Non-profit Organizations, Undergraduate Colleges, Human Resource Departments) with the understanding that their degree can be effective in many settings.
Where are MA students from?
The MA Program student body is represented by individuals from various ages, cultures, geographies, and training backgrounds. International professionals, mid-life career changers, and psychology majors are only a few examples of the diversity that enriches our community. The program leading to the MA degree is appropriate for students who have obtained undergraduate degrees in Psychology as well as for those with a limited exposure to the field. Some students use the program to enhance their current work (elementary education, international policy), while others use it to distill their interests within psychology (global mental health, addictions). Yet others use it as a first step toward a doctoral education. The MA Program celebrates that our students are not of one voice. This chorus of perspectives is considered necessary to solve the very real-world problems they will encounter upon graduation. Each student has a unique contribution to make.

"When I look at a shot through a lens, I hear music in my mind. Films, like music, need a sense of rhythm that affects everything from composition to editing … I use the same part of my brain to play a melody that I use to make a decision about how I might pan or tilt the camera … it's about creating a beat or a rhythm." — Wally Pfister, ASC, BSC
Ask your neighbor, your uncle and aunt, the clerk at your local grocery store and a stranger on the street about Batman. Chances are they will all tell you that Batman is the masked avenger who fights the dark forces of evil in the fictional city of Gotham. Ask Wally Pfister, ASC, BSC and he will tell you that Batman is a dream come true.
Pfister was an avid fan of the original Batman television series which aired during his youth in New York. A Batman utility belt and a projector that threw a shadowy, bat-like image on his bedroom wall were among his most treasured possessions. Pfister still has Batman cartoons that his grandfather drew for a newspaper in Wisconsin.
Warner Bros. released the first Batman movie in 1989. Pfister shot Batman Begins, the fourth sequel, in collaboration with director Chris Nolan in 2005. He earned his first cinematography Oscar nomination for that memorable film.
Pfister and Nolan are breaking new ground this summer with The Dark Knight. The fifth Batman sequel was produced in a seamless blend of 35mm anamorphic and IMAX film formats. It will be released in 35mm anamorphic format at traditional cinemas and on 130 IMAX screens around the world.
It is the fifth co-venture for Nolan and Pfister. Their collaboration began in 2000 with the independent feature Memento, followed by Insomnia and The Prestige.
"Chris told me that people at Warner Bros. were talking with him about The Dark Knight while we were still shooting The Prestige," Pfister recalls. "He gave me the script (which Nolan co-authored) to read in September of 2006. Chris had some intriguing ideas for doing some things differently than the previous Batman films."
Like the earlier Batman movies, the story is set in Gotham with most main characters portrayed by the same actors who were featured in Batman Begins. Christian Bale plays Bruce Wayne and his alter ego Batman. Wayne lives in a penthouse apartment overlooking the city with his faithful butler Alfred, played by Michael Caine. Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman reprise their roles as Lt. James Gordon and Lucius Fox. The late Heath Ledger débuts as The Joker, a sinister villain and a hub the story revolves around.
Nolan told Pfister that he planned to shoot the opening six-minute prologue in IMAX format. An IMAX 4:3 frame is 65mm wide and 15 perforations long. The image area is 10 times larger than a 35mm frame composed in anamorphic format. "He was determined to create a compelling cinematic experience," Pfister says.
Nolan asked the cinematographer to prepare to shoot a test. Pfister credits David Keighley, president of DPK 70 MM, an IMAX subsidiary in Santa Monica, California, with providing guidance, immediate feedback on 15/70 dailies, and invaluable support in postproduction.
"Every movie that I have done with Chris has begun with tests filmed at his house in Los Angeles," Pfister says. "We spent an afternoon and an evening shooting tests with an IMAX MSM camera in his backyard and garage. I wanted to see how the camera handled, and also experimented with composition, lenses and exposing negative in different ways. We also put the camera on a tripod in the back of a pickup truck and drove down Sunset Boulevard shooting a test in natural light at night. There was no grain visible on a print made from the processed negative, and we could see every detail in the darkest shadows, with truly rich black tones and an extraordinary contrast."
After that test, Nolan decided to cover dialogue scenes in 35mm anamorphic format and action sequences, aerial photography, car chases and physical effects in IMAX format. An estimated 38 minutes of the final cut was produced in IMAX format.
Nolan also envisioned a different grammar for The Dark Knight. "The Batman movies have always been dark," Pfister says. "Chris' script had its dark elements but there were a lot of daylight and other scenes in brighter environments, including office settings with fluorescent lights, and big open rooms in daytime with sunlight streaming through windows. His idea was that the drama would have a greater visual impact if we saved the darkest imagery for the end."
Pfister notes that the color palette designed for Gotham in Batman Begins has a rusty copper tone that visually punctuates the sense of place, time and mood. He, Nolan, and production and costume designers Nathan Crowley and Lindy Hemming took a more organic approach to the use of colors in The Dark Knight. "We played with blue, green and pure white tones that contrasted with very black and rusty hues that were used for continuity at some locations," Pfister says.
Pfister carried five IMAX cameras, four MSMs and one Mark III. The MSM camera weighs about 65 pounds, and it can be used on a Steadicam and on an Ultimate Arm. The 35mm camera package from Panavision included two Millennium XLs and a Platinum body with E and C series prime and zoom lenses. He used KODAK VISION2 500T 5218 and 250D 5205 color negative films for both IMAX and 35mm scenes.
There was a 128-day production schedule, including seven weeks at practical locations in Chicago and a week in Hong Kong. They spent the rest of the time at locations and on sets built in an old airship hangar in the United Kingdom.
The opening prologue is a bank robbery scene where the audience meets The Joker. It was produced in IMAX format at an old post office building in Chicago. Nolan asked for 70mm dailies in IMAX format. The negative was processed and dailies were printed by CFI Technicolor in Los Angeles.
"After that we were so confident about what we were going to see that Chris just asked for selected dailies in 70mm format on some Saturday mornings," Pfister says. "We always had 30 to 40 crewmembers there who were totally inspired by what they were seeing."
There is an unforgettable scene staged outside of an empty four-story factory building in Chicago that was dressed as a hospital. Pfister and Nolan covered that scene with five IMAX and three 35mm cameras from different perspectives. An IMAX camera on an Ultimate Arm tracked with Ledger as he walked out of the building.
"There was a smug look on his face as he pressed a button," Pfister says. "There was no second take. The camera craned up to a wider shot as the entire building exploded and collapsed. We had a permit to bring in a demolition company to blow up the building. The scene ends with The Joker jumping on a bus and closing the back door mere seconds before the charges are triggered."
While the scope of the film and settings help to create a sense of time and place, the camera also makes intimate connections between the audience and characters. Every cinematographer who has shot a Batman movie has had to cope with the reality of filming a hero who wears a dark cape, black cowl and mask.
"Bruce Wayne and Batman share the same soul, which is revealed by the light in their eyes," Pfister says. "We did an enormous amount of testing with Christian Bale wearing the cape, cowl and mask in Batman Begins. This time I lit more by instinct, but it was a very similar approach. We used handheld, battery-powered light panels with diffusion rigged by (gaffer) Cory Geryak to put the same glow in both characters' eyes."
Keighley observes, "I have worked on 227 IMAX projects during the past 36 years and have seen some amazing cinematography, but I have never seen anything like this done on a narrative film before. It's a totally engaging experience."

text: AS some people know I've been going thru the parts bin looking for XR parts. I have several hydraulic brake rearends in stages of assembly. One I took and removed the center section in order to straighten the axle tube. I talked to "GEORGE" the owner of ' THROTTLE MASTERS" about this and in the interim we never discussed reassembly. How does one index the center section housing to coorelate with the axle tube? ( In other words,how do you press the splines back together to ensure the three rivet holes line-up?,or make sure the chain doesn't chainsaw it's own clerance?) ALTHOUGH I have my own ideas on this subject, it would be interesting to hear some different opinions.

Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup Slow Cooker Recipe
I sat down at the computer and tried to write this post about 47 times in the last few days. Sorry to leave the icky chicken and sweet potato fiasco up for so long!
I made some yummy soup the other night that the kids adored and they each had THIRDS.
I think my head may have exploded.
The Ingredients.
1 store-bought rotisserie chicken carcass, or 1 1/2 cups already cooked chicken meat
6 cups water
1 or 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chunked
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules (check for gluten, this was clearly labeled gluten free)
1 cup broccoli florets
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
kosher salt to taste (probably a good 1 teaspoon, since the base is water)
50-cent piece size, or so, handful of raw spaghetti noodles to add at the end (I used Trader Joe's brown rice)
1 large handful raw spinach leaves to add at the end
Parmesan and Asiago cheese, optional garnish
The Directions.
If you're going to use a chicken carcass, cook it on low overnight in the water. In the morning, unplug the crock and let it cool before digging in with CLEAN hands to pick out the bones. Strain through a colander (retaining liquid!) if desired.
Or, start with a slow cooker with 6 cups of water, and add chicken. Add all vegetables except for the spinach leaves. Stir in the bouillon and vinegar. Salt to taste. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until sweet potatoes are tender and the onion is translucent.
15 minutes before serving, put in raw spaghetti noodles and a large handful of spinach. Cover and flip to high.
Garnish with parmesan and asiago cheeses, if desired.
The Verdict.
This is such a wonderful, comforting soup. The balsamic vinegar does two things: 1, it really darkens the broth which provides a nice color, and 2, it brings the chicken flavor out so nicely while providing a touch of a tang. The tang is nice, because it fools your tongue into thinking it's tasting salt----which is mostly what you taste in canned chicken noodle soups.
Absolutely delicious. This fed our family of four for dinner, with just a bit leftover (and the kids were able to have 3rds!)
other yummy soups:
chicken and rice
Albondigas soup
black eyed pea soup
butternut squash

Wow! I love the idea of using balsamic vinegar! I just roasted a turkey on monday, so I may make this with turkey meat instead. I hope my kid has thirds lol!

I've been wanting to make homemade chicken soup for forever. I'm gonna get the ingredients next grocery shopping trip. I hope it turns out like yours.
- May 6, 2009 at 4:46 PM
Why not substitute white balsamic vinegar for the dark balsamic vinegar? It wouldn't darken the broth...I'll have to try that for a different taste in my homemade chicken soup! Thanks!

I have recently started a love affair with balsamic vinegar, therefore, I am anxious to try this soup! Thanks for the recipe!

Nice. And thanks!

That looks so delicious! I love the greens in there! And I can imagine the Balsamic made it taste just that much more excellent!

Oh, I love the flavor balsamic vinegar adds! Your kids ate thirds! That is monumental ... seriously. :-) I've got not one, but two chicken carcasses in the freezer. ;-)

This soup looks great!
I have read that adding vinegar while making broth helps to leach out the vitamins and minerals for more nutrition.
I have started adding vinegar to almost all of my soups. They just don't seem to taste right without it.

This sound so great! But . . . for me Chicken Noodle Soup has to have . . . Noodles! Can you guestimate about how much a 50 cent size bunch of spaghetti noodles would translate into regular flat noodles?
- May 7, 2009 at 9:02 AM
After working where I work, I actually get the accentuation of CLEAN hands. Nice. With swine flu, crockpot chicken noodle soup will really help.

I made this soup the other night. It was delicious! I did tweek it just a little to my own personal taste. I added carrots, and several sprigs of fresh thyme. I served the leftovers two nights later and added a little cream to the soup to change it up a bit. It was wonderful! (how could it not be with cream in it?)
My only complaint was that my vegetables were done after about 4 hours, so I just turned it off and removed the crock from the base. I guess my crock-pot just cooks at a much higher temp. I'll have to remember that the next time I make any kind of vegetable in it.
Thanks for this recipe!

I loved this. Made my own stock in the crock and then made this soup with just a few changes ( carrots and sweetcorn instead of spinach and sweet potato)and it is yum, yum, yummy. I'm so glad i made loads and have plenty of it portioned up in my freezer!

Here is a tip that you can probably use on either blog. I started doing after being inspired by things I'd read in Martha Steward Living, Matthew Bitman's NY Times column, and your crockpot blog.
Instead of buying boullion or ready made stock, I save cuttings from other meal prep: carrot and celery tops, onion outer layers, wilted herbs go in one bag; chicken bones in another; shrimp tails; beef bones each in their own zip lock bag in my freezer. I regularly prepare vegetable stock (and others as needed) in the following manner:
Place two or three generous handfuls of cuttings in crock pot. Fill with water, and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Strain out solids and keep refrigerate or freeze for a later use.
I love having a jar of vegetable stock in my fridge for sauteing vegetables, adding to my rice cooker, or making a quick soup.
- May 13, 2009 at 8:23 AM
I just want to make sure that I read the correct....
The chicken is to be cooked prior to adding it to the crockpot?
Will this overcook the chicken??
- May 17, 2009 at 9:47 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
hi there, the chicken I used was already cooked. If you prefer to use raw, it'll be just fine, but you'll need to cook it longer to tenderize the chicken. Cooking the already-cooked chicken doesn't run the risk of over-cooking---the chicken gets nice and shredded that way.
- May 17, 2009 at 2:32 PM
The smell in my house is divine!!!!
I just tasted a small bowl even without the noodles and it was quite delicious. Never thought to add the balsamic and it adds a really nice flavor. To me once I add the noodles its going to be more of a noodle bowl....and much more acceptable in May when its 70+ degrees outside. I also love the different veggies to spice it up a bit over the celery/carrot combo.
Its a keeper
- May 27, 2009 at 1:42 PM
Hey, this was tasty, and my kids liked it too. Thanks, Steph!
- May 28, 2009 at 3:57 PM
- Kate Pearce said...
I made this this week and used rice noodles, (Trader Joe's rice sticks) and they worked very well. My 3 teenage boys wolfed it down I had to double the quantity of liquids just to get by LOL I reckon if tou added mushrooms and dried mushrooms it would really enhance the flavor.
Thanks for this one!
- October 4, 2009 at 12:50 PM
This was delicious!! And so very economical .... considering it uses a rotisserie chicken carcass which we all just toss. I was surprised how much chicken there actually was to work with. The balsamic vinegar really took this over the moon. What a great flavor for soup! I also tossed in 2 small zucchini, which I needed to use up, and also 1 clove of garlic because I was concerned this would be too bland for my tastes. I'll be making this soup and freezing it anytime I have a chicken carcass from here on out. Thanks. Love your blog.
- October 4, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Be careful on the chicken - check with the store . . WalMart/Sam's rotisserie chicken is not gluten free . .
- October 6, 2009 at 9:31 AM
I make this at least once a week. It's awesome! My kids love it!
- May 24, 2010 at 12:52 PM
I love all of these recipes. I only discovered this blog several weeks ago but have already made 6 recipes (which is a lot for a busy single gal). I was avoiding several recipes because they didn't have the correct cooking time frame. The ideal recipes require 9+ hours or less than 3 hours so I can start the Crock before work and eat when I get home (10 hours later) or so I can make it as soon as I get home and enjoy dinner before I die of starvation.
My solution: I bought a Digital Outlet Timer. I turn on the timer, plug the Crock (while on high or low) into the timer and when I get home I have a perfect meal waiting for me, no matter how much time was needed to cook it.
- November 1, 2010 at 2:06 PM
Elizabeth S. - that is such a good idea! I haven't used my crock pot in forever because I have the same problem. My crock pot burns everything by the time I get home, even though it goes to "warm" after I set it. I'll have to use your solution with the outlet timer next time!

I just made this chicken noodle soup and it is definitely one I'll make again. I tried to stretch it by adding more liquid, and I didn't have potatoes, so it was too watery, but the egg noodles I used made up for that. Next time I'll use the measurements you said. Was still very good--an easy and forgiving recipe. Thank you!
- November 14, 2011 at 4:26 PM
- Emily said...
I made this yesterday and it was YUMMY! I pulled it out of the fridge today to have leftovers and almost all the liquid was gone! Looks like it was absorbed by the spaghetti noodles (I used regular noodles). It's still delicious, but now more of a savory, turkey and potato noodle dish!

I stumbled upon this website, not sure what led me here (you know how that goes, one link leads to another, on and on) ... I decided I was going to give recipe a try. One person said "Sweet potatoes? In chicken noodle soup? That's so weird!" while another said "You can't use spaghetti for soup!" but I like the idea that it doesn't come from a box or a can. And I'm so tired of either eating out or having hamburger helper all the time. This was a test, and everyone who complained ended up loving it. Tomorrow, I'm trying the black bean soup. Between this site and a "slow cooker for diabetics" cookbook I picked up, I think I might actually get my family used to eating good food, not just fast food!

How wet was July? Soaking wet, according to the Natural Resource Conservation Service.
NRCS reports that Southeastern Utah precipitation in July was 161 percent of normal, bringing the water year accumulation since October 1 to 144 percent.
Reservoir storage is at 99 percent of capacity, which is 31 percent higher than this time last year. Soil moisture is at 56 percent compared to 40 percent last year.
With about six weeks of irrigation season left and the current generally high streamflows across the state, Utah should go into water year 2012 at unusually high reservoir levels.
In fact, most reservoirs may be able to fill simply utilizing fall and winter streamflow, according to the report.
It concludes, "Enjoy this abundance of water while it lasts, as we all know that a reversal of fortune might occur at any time."

By PAUL L. YOUNGSt. George
With the escalating cost of fuel everyone is blaming the big oil companies. Especially our out-of-touch Senators.
Let's reverse this thinking and put the full blame directly on those who created the problem; all our Senators. The fear of losing the vote of the extreme radical enviromentalists. They are who is to blame.
The environmentalists keep standing in the way of drilling for more domestic oil as well as the building of new refineries.
They stopped the drilling of oil in one of the the largest oil deposits in the United States, the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge.
The stopped the country from drilling in another large oil deposit beneath the Gulf of Mexico. However it seems okay for China to drill there.
The enviromentalists appeal every application to drill for oil or gas in the continental boudaries of our country.
Our senators must pass a bill whereas any person filing an appeal that has a direct negative impact on another person, that second person should have the right to file a lawsuit agains the person that filed the appeal.
This type of law would force the environmentalists to rethink the filing of their many frivolous appeals.

The People of Paperby Salvador Plascencia
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
After his wife leaves him, Federico de la Fe and his daughter Little Merced depart the town of Las Tortugas, Mexico, and head for Los Angeles. There, with the aid of a local street gang and the prophetic powers of a baby Nostradamus, they engage in an epic battle to find a cure for sadness. Mechanical tortoises, disillusioned saints hiding in wrestling rings, a woman made of paper, and Rita Hayworth are a few of the players whose destinies intertwine in this story of war and lost love. The People of Paper is simultaneously a father-daughter immigration story, a wildly inventive reimagining of Southern California mythology, and an exploration of the limits of fiction. Part memoir, part lies, this is a book about the wounds inflicted by first love and sharp objects.
"Plascencia's mannered but moving debut begins with an allegory for art and the loss that drives it: a butcher guts a boy's cat; the boy constructs paper organs for the feline, who is revivified; the boy thus becomes the world's first origami surgeon. Though Plascencia's book sometimes seems to take the form of an autobiographical attempt to come to terms with a lost love, little of this experimental work — a mischievous mix of Garca Mrquez magical realism and Tristram Shandy typographical tricks — is grounded in reality. Early on we meet a 'Baby Nostradamus' and a Catholic saint disguised as a wrestler while following the enuretic Fernando de la Fe and his lime-addicted daughter from Mexico to California. Fernando — whose wife, tired of waking in pools of piss, has left him — settles east of L.A. in El Monte. He gathers a gang of carnation pickers to wage a quixotic war against the planet Saturn and, in a Borges-like discovery, Saturn turns out to be Salvador Plascencia. Over a dozen characters narrate the story while fighting like Lilliputians to emancipate themselves from Plascencia's tyrannical authorial control. Playful and cheeky, the book is also violent and macabre: masochists burn themselves; a man bleeds horribly after performing cunnilingus on a woman made of paper. Plascencia's virtuosic first novel is explosively unreal, but bares human truths with devastating accuracy. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"A stunning debut by a once-in-a-generation talent. I don't know of a young American writer more original, innovative, or intense than Salvador Plascencia. The People of Paper is harrowing and gorgeous, experimental in the truest sense: it creates new means to explore essential and timeless emotional subjects." George Saunders
"Salvador Plascencia weaves together the daily life details of this world and the big ideas surrounding them to a stirring end effect. The People of Paper is a terrifically original debut." Aimee Bender
"Plascencia's surrealistic metanovel, styled a la Garcia Marquez, is a charming meditation on the relationship between reader, author, and story line, filled with mythic imagery...readers will find it hard to turn away." Entertainment Weekly
"[I]t's sometimes difficult to follow the plotline. But, oh, is it fun." San Francisco Chronicle
"The People of Paper is impressive on terms anyone can appreciate. Behind all the devices, Plascencia still manages to construct a classic story." Los Angeles Times
"The People of Paper is a novel like no other, emerging from the chrysalis of magic and imagination to create a world of letters that seeps back into the world we know and then metamorphoses into something else altogether. Calvino, Borges, and Garcia Marquez will come to mind, but Plascencia's novel is a creature of its own, firmly grounded and soaring at the same time." T. C. Boyle
The People of Paper is an astonishing debut novel about the anguish of lost love. Author Salvador Plascencia, a "once-in-a-generation talent" (George Saunders), weaves together the stories of a large cast of colorful characters, including: a disgruntled monk, a father and daughter, a gang of carnation pickers, and a woman made of paper.
"The People of Paper is a novel like no other . . . Calvino, Borges, and García Márquez will come to mind, but Plascencia's novel is a creature of its own, firmly grounded and soaring at the same time."--T. C. Boyle
Federico de la Fe is a devoted husband and father, but his lime-loving wife, Merced, abandons him, and he and his daughter, Little Merced (who also loves limes), must start a new life together. They leave their home in Mexico and head for California, where they settle among a community of flower-pickers. Federico de la Fes sadness festers, and Little Merceds love for limes develops into a dangerous addiction.
All the while, an oppressive force bears down on the town. When the identity of this mysterious oppressor is finally revealed, the story takes an unexpected turn and moves toward its magical, breathtaking end. A mesmerizing debut novel about the anguish of lost love, The People of Paper marks the arrival of an incredibly talented new writer.
"Wondrous and comically inventive."—The New York Times Book Review
"[A] charming meditation on the relationship between reader, author, and story line, filled with mythic imagery and unforgettable personalities . . . Readers will find it hard to turn away from The People of Paper. A."--Entertainment Weekly
"A nervy new voice."—San Francisco Chronicle
"[I]mpressive on terms anyone can appreciate."--Los Angeles Times
SALVADOR PLASCENCIA was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and now lives in Los Angeles. He is a graduate of Whittier College and holds an MFA from Syracuse University. The People of Paper is his first novel.

send me an invite, im in the us and can spawn ca/duel servers
send me an invite, im in the us and can spawn ca/duel servers
Just subbed to pro.
Put me down for a variety of game modes.
Done...it might be easier if people can be a little more specific, makes it easier for standards if they only need add one or two players for each mode, also if ppl could tell me location info it saves me having to check profile pages (and you can say whether it's usually TX/NY etc)
I run a modified CTF server in both Europe (Paris, France) and The United States (Dallas, TX). I switch to Dallas, TX around 5pm Dallas time (CST).
Currently I run a 7v7/unrestricted/unranked/SpaceCTF server with a 4-map rotation (spacectf, beyond reality, japanese castles, and spider crossings). Use 4 generally to keep SpaceCTF available as an option most of the time, and get them used to playing a different map every now and then. Voting is of course on in case they REALLY want to go back, or play one of the other standard maps.
EDIT: And you should make a thread in general discussion, so people who don't come to the clan section can view this list.

Make it a thread in the form of an announcement to standard players about what SPAWN represents.
A chat keybind or two for in-game warm-ups, to tell players there to friend you and why, isn't a bad idea either.
as I remember there were 2 spectators, including you. Btw I asked to restart game but you didnt. You are a bad host..drunker too. Thats good to know.

I could go and check the demo but tbh since I started spawning, you have been the only unhappy player on my server (oh and one German guy who go votekicked by all the players and came back screaming 'ARSCHLOCK'), so I can't be bothered to check. Also I don't think getting drunk on a Saturday night is really that big a deal, I was actually pleasantly surprised to see my server was still running after a night in the pub.
And mole, it was in GD but a mod moved it If it could be moved back then that'd be great, since it isn't really a clan recruitment thread, we're just using the clan features in an unintended way
Invite me:
ctf and tdm in europe T4, competition maps, competition settings (i.e for tdm maps like purgatory and the new maps limbus and terminus, for ctf maps like shiningforces and even though they are standard this month spidercrossings and japanesecastles).

A Watertown man admitted Friday in Jefferson County Court that he started a fire in his 108-unit apartment complex while cooking methamphetamine in January.
Steven W. LaClair, 46, pleaded guilty to third-degree unlawfully manufacturing methamphetamine and second-degree reckless endangerment. He admitted that on Jan. 29, he possessed materials needed to make meth in his fourth-floor apartment at Curtis Apartments, 336 W. Main St. He also admitted that he started a fire that created a serious risk of injury to other tenants, many of whom are elderly and some of whom are physically handicapped. No one was injured.
Mr. LaClair is expected to be sentenced May 28 to six months time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation.
In other court activity:
Richard E. Reinhardt II, 22, Fort Drum, pleaded guilty to third-degree burglary. He admitted that sometime in September, with another man, he entered a unit at U Lock It Storage, 26842 Holbrook Road, Evans Mills, intending to steal something. Police said at the time of his arrest that an all-terrain vehicle, three firearms and other items were taken. Mr. Reinhardt is expected to be sentenced May 31 to 1� to 4� years in state prison and be ordered to pay $13,770 in restitution. Charges against Dominic M. Walters, 22, Fort Drum, remain pending from the incident. Both men also face multiple burglary counts in Lewis County.
Tyler J. Maitland, 19, formerly of the town of Richland, but now incarcerated in Elmira Correctional Facility, pleaded guilty to third-degree burglary. He admitted that on March 1, 2012, he entered a town of Ellisburg property belonging to John McGrew with the intent to steal. According to a grand jury indictment handed up in October, two furnaces and a mobile home axle were stolen. Mr. Maitland is expected to be sentenced April 19 to one to three years in prison and be ordered to pay $4,369 in restitution in the form of a civil judgment. His prison sentence will run concurrently with a one- to seven-year sentence imposed March 14 in Oswego County Court for a third-degree burglary conviction.
Derek J. Wagoner, 31, of 43785 First St., Redwood, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree criminal trespass. He admitted that in August, he stole $1,000 from the Fishers Landing residence of Lloyd J. Young. He entered an Alford plea to a second trespass count, meaning he did not admit to the underlying facts in the case, but was pleading guilty to avoid the possibility of being convicted of a more serious offense at trial. He had been charged in January with stealing a stereo unit from a garage on County Route 192 in Redwood. He is expected to be sentenced June 7 to six months in the PSB, followed by three years probation.
Dustin C. Stacy, 22, of 639 Olive St., pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct. He admitted that last April 11, he had sexual contact with a 16-year-old female. He is expected to be sentenced June 5 to six years probation and be ordered to register with the state as a sex offender.
Gary A. Collins, 35, an inmate at Midstate Correctional Facility, Marcy, formerly of Watertown, pleaded guilty to second-degree possession of prison contraband. He admitted that while incarcerated at the PSB in February 2011, he possessed tobacco products, matches and other prohibited items. He subsequently was sentenced to time served, concurrent with a one- to three-year sentence imposed in June 2010 in County Court for grand-larceny and criminal-mischief convictions. He was released under parole supervision in February 2011 and was returned to prison in October for a parole violation.
Marcus W. Megan, 21, Alexandria Bay, admitted violating probation and was resentenced to one to three years in prison. He was serving five years probation imposed in April 2011 for third-degree burglary and second-degree criminal trespass convictions. He admitted violating probation by failing to follow through with treatment recommendations made by his probation officer, continuing to use illegal substances and being arrested for third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance on Dec. 30 in New York City.
Jeremy M. Miller, 22, Glen Park, was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay a total of $7,761 in restitution for Feb. 4 guilty pleas to fourth-degree grand larceny and petit larceny as a result of separate incidents. He was accused of stealing a 2004 Saturn Ion from Paul Cedar on Sept. 14. State police said at the time that Mr. Miller slammed the vehicle into a barn at county routes 75 and 76 in the town of Ellisburg and then fled the accident scene. He also was accused in a grand jury indictment handed up in July of stealing more than $1,000 worth of property from his grandmother, Nancy P. Goodwin, between May 1 and July 31, 2011, in Watertown.
Timothy S. Fowler, 23, Copenhagen, was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge for a Feb. 13 guilty plea to third-degree assault. He admitted that he struck Harley Sanders, causing injury, Jan. 12 in West Carthage.
Thomas P. Kent, 27, and Roseann T. Kent, 32, Fort Stewart, Ga., formerly of Fort Drum, were arraigned on counts of third-degree grand larceny, third-degree criminal possession of stolen property, third-degree welfare fraud, misuse of food stamps and first-degree offering a false instrument for filing. Mr. Kent also faces two additional counts of offering a false instrument for filing. The charges were contained in an indictment unsealed in court.
It is alleged that between May 2010 and September 2011, they received about $10,000 in food stamp benefits to which they were not entitled from the Department of Social Services by filing false information. They both pleaded not guilty to the charges and were sent to the PSB on $10,000 bail.
Jean R. Alectice, 23, Fort Drum, was arraigned on a warrant alleging he is a fugitive wanted in New Jersey on a charge of theft by deception. He waived his extradition rights and agreed to be returned to New Jersey to face matters there.

Nespresso and Fairtrade join forces, launch innovative farmer support programme
Harriet Lamb, CEO of Fairtrade International, and Jean-Marc Duvoisin, CEO of Nestlé Nespresso, today announce a new, long-reaching partnership to benefit thousands of small-scale coffee farmers. The announcement comes as Nespresso celebrates ten years of their Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, focused on improving quality and sustainability for farmers and their communities.
Nespresso has committed to source a growing proportion of its coffee from Fairtrade certified cooperatives, a partnership that will provide thousands of smallholder coffee farmers with even greater income security, as well as better supporting the development of strong farmer organizations, essential building blocks of economic, social and environmental development. As part of the initiative, Nespresso will market coffee from the AAA farmer cooperatives in the region of Caldas, Colombia, and certified Fairtrade.
"This encourages the kind of development that not only helps whole communities; it further emphasises the fundamental necessity of ensuring that quality of life of farmers is on a par with the quality of coffee they're producing," said Lamb. "When a company like Nespresso comes on board, we're excited because then it means that sustainability and the coffee farmers will stay at the heart of the conversations that businesses are having."
The partnership unites Fairtrade's deep experience in building strong, democratic farmers' organizations with Nespresso's AAA Programme, which has proven impact in helping farmers improve quality, sustainability and productivity, as well as contributing wider social and economic benefits. As part of the programme, Nespresso and Fairtrade will work with the cooperatives to introduce social welfare provisions to benefit farmers and their families, including health and accident coverage and retirement planning.
"By 2020 we aim to make a further contribution to smallholder farmer welfare through our Nespresso AAA Program by working with Fairtrade and our other partners. Our Nespresso AAA Farmer Future Program is an important piece in our larger goal of improving livelihoods for all coffee farmers in our supply chain," Jean-Marc Duvoisin, CEO of Nestlé Nespresso.
Fairtrade will work closely with the CLAC, the Fairtrade producer network representing Latin American producers, and the cooperatives in Colombia to begin developing the program.
Marike de Peña, the President of CLAC, Fairtrade International Vice Chair, and director of Banelino, a Fairtrade smallscale producer organization, welcomes the announcement on behalf of their members. "The CLAC recognises the importance of Nespresso AAA for the Colombian small farmers coffee cooperatives and hopefully for other cooperatives in the near future. Investments in productivity, quality and best practices are crucial for farmers, not just to guarantee economic, social and environmental sustainability, but also to make sure that the next generation will be able to consider coffee farming an attractive and viable livelihood. The CLAC is happy to work on the ground with Nespresso to achieve these common goals and looks forward to building on this first step in Colombia to ultimately extend the benefits of the Farmer Future Programme to many more farmers."
Nespresso will begin by purchasing Fairtrade coffee from farmers in Caldas, Colombia, including the Aguadas Cooperative – a father/son duo from the cooperative was in attendance at the programme launch. Nespresso already sources from five Fairtrade certified cooperatives in the region under the AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program. These cooperatives, comprising 7,000 small-scale farmers, were the first to join the Nespresso AAA Program in 2004.
"A key to Fairtrade's success is its strength in supporting farmers to build strong organizations and implement development projects for their communities on their own terms according to their priorities," adds Merling Preza, President of the CLAC's Coffee Network and Manager of PRODECOOP, one of the largest Fairtrade coffee co-ops in Nicaragua. "This involvement creates a sense of ownership among cooperative members which is vital to success. We also welcome the fact that Nespresso has already led the way in paying farmers a fair price. This commitment, now further bolstered through the safety net provided by the Fairtrade Minimum Price and through the Fairtrade Premium, is insulation so urgently needed to protect farmers from the volatility of the coffee market."
As the AAA Farmer Future Program develops and impact becomes apparent, Nespresso and Fairtrade will look to extend the partnership to other regions. The overall AAA Program comprises over 56,000 smallholder farmers representing 80 percent of Nespresso's total coffee volume.
In addition to the new AAA Farmer Future Program, Nespresso launched two other programs and their Nespresso Sustainability Advisory Board, comprising experts and thought leaders in the area of sustainability. The board will provide insight and recommendations to enhance Nespresso's efforts. Harriet Lamb, CEO of Fairtrade International, was selected to serve on the board along with leaders from Rainforest Alliance, Technoserve, the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation, the Fair Labor Association, and actor, activist George Clooney. Lamb participated in their first meeting at the launch of the programme on 15 July in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Who is Bolat Bersebayev of Kazakhstan and why is he "monitoring" our polling places in Indianapolis, Indiana and Lansing Michigan? And who is Elchin Musaeyev of Azerbaijan, and why has he been tasked with monitoring the November 6 elections in Boston, Massachusetts, and Concord, New Hampshire?
Neither Kazakhstan nor Azerbaijan are notable as paragons of electoral virtue. Nor are they models of liberty, honesty, and decency. The facts show quite the opposite.
Kazakhstan is a brutal and corrupt dictatorship run by 72-year-old Nursultan Nazarbayev, a lifelong Communist who claims to have received 95.54 percent of the vote in the 2011 elections. No one believes the Kazakh election was anything other than a scripted event with a pre-set outcome. Put "Kazakhstan human rights" into your search engine and you'll find abundant data from numerous sources confirming that efforts to exercise freedom of expression or freedom of assembly are met with baseball bats, bullets, and prison.
Azerbaijan may even be worse than Kazakhstan. In 2009, "President" Ilham Aliyev pushed through a constitutional amendment that now makes it possible for him to be president for life.
Few expect that he will ever leave office voluntarily. His father, Heydar Alieyev, who was a KGB thug under Joseph Stalin, rose to head the Azerbaijanian KGB, which he used ruthlessly to eliminate competitors and propel himself to rulership of what was then Soviet Azerbaijan. The elder Alieyev was appointed by Leonid Brezhnev to the top leadership of the Communist Party Central Committee and Yuri Andropov rewarded him with membership in the Soviet Politburo. After Azerbaijan's supposed "independence" from the Soviet Union, Heydar Aliyev continued the Soviet-style rule to which he was accustomed. The dynastic succession from Heydar to his son Ilham was guaranteed by the KGB structures the elder Aliyev had put in place.
Information documenting the sorry state of human rights in Azerbaijan is plentiful and easily available from many government and non-governmental sources. In 2010, a U.S. Embassy cable released by WikiLeaks revealed that despite public cordiality between Washington, D.C. and Baku, the senior U.S. diplomat in Azerbaijan, Donald Lu, considered Ilham Aliyev to be a violent gangster, likening him to a composite of Michael and Sonny Corleone of the Godfather movies.
Lu noted that Aliyev is "increasingly authoritarian and hostile to diversity of political views" despite cultivating an image of moderation. "The dissonance between Aliyev's sensible approach to foreign affairs, manifested by the cosmopolitan image he presents to Western visitors, with his tailored suits and flawless English, and the unpleasant reality of his approach to domestic issues raises the obvious question of how these two realities coexist," Lu wrote in his diplomatic cable.

For the past couple of months now at Pure Mobile, Samsung's Galaxy S4 has been the big talk. We've practically been eating, sleeping and breathing Galaxy S4 cases and accessories since the device's launch. And, as of this month, Galaxy S4 sales had started to close in on those of the iPhone 5.
But we can hardly expect this to be the last of Samsung's successes. And the company announced today that it will be holding an upcoming roadshow event, the "Premiere 2013" in London next month.
The teaser poster for the June 20th event mentions Galaxy and ATIV devices, so we're pretty sure the company will be unveiling its latest Android and Windows devices. As for the teaser pics on the poster, which don't exactly spell things out, Engadget thinks they could relate to a a tablet or phone, laptop, and camera:
"The remaining tiles show partial shots of three mysterious devices -- possibly a tablet or phone, a convertible laptop (à la Sony VAIO Duo 11) and a camera (maybe the rumored Galaxy S 4 Zoom?)"
Oh, and speaking of rumors...before its official unveiling, Samsung was touting the Galaxy S4 as "the next big thing." But a recent leak could suggest that that Galaxy S4's successor could actually be the next little thing.
According to BGR, which cites various sources, "Samsung is working on half a dozen different versions of its new flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone, including a more manageable variant called the Galaxy S4 mini."
And the fact that the device – presumably a smaller-scale version of the Galaxy S4 – actually briefly showed up online in Samsung's official app catalogue for the UK indicates that this is more than mere rumor. Indeed, as BGR put it, "the phone has now been confirmed by Samsung, albeit accidentally."
So while we at Pure Mobile will probably still be obsessing over the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 accessories for the next month or so, we've got a feeling that, come the London event, we'll have an all new lineup of Samsung smartphones, tablets and other devices to sweep us off our feet.

The Hook Shot in The Tribune has been a fun feature for Utah outdoors enthusiasts for years. We have more photos on file than we can ever use, so we are sharing them in this gallery.
If you have photos you would like to submit, send high-resolution copies to firstname.lastname@example.com. Make sure to provide information about who is in the picture, where it was taken and when it was snapped. Include any fun or special information about the catch. Your submission may run in the online Hookshot gallery or in the newspaper, or both.
