Aside from his legacy as one of the giants of the Austrian school and modern anarcho-capitalism, Murray Rothbard was for a time a political activist, one of the founding members of the Libertarian Party, which got its start in the basement of David Nolan's home some 40 years ago. Rothbard's radicalism kept the LP honest for a time, but eventually it began to behave like most other third parties, softening its principles to make its platform more appealing. Eventually Rothbard, following a split with "low tax liberals" such as Ed Crane (founder of the Cato Institute) and David Koch (a Cato benefactor), left the LP, and took with him most of its radical heart.
No doubt Rothbard would be doing barrel rolls in his grave to see what's become of the LP lately. The most recent candidates for the party's Presidential nomination, Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root, both former Republicans, have been hard at work promoting not so much personal liberty but the kinder, gentler sides of former and current members of the U. S.'s stable of tinpot dictators.
First, there's Barr, now a lawyer based in Atlanta, representing Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, the former "president for life" of Haiti who now stands accused of ransacking his country's treasury. Barr attempted to defend his client by favorably comparing his reign to an earthquake:
Speaking to CNN's Fredricka Whitfield, Barr did his best to defend his client's tainted legacy, noting that, while Duvalier "is very well aware of the personal risk that he faced coming back to Haiti," that "paled in comparison to the needs of his people." Barr was tight-lipped about the details of Duvalier's return and what he wanted to accomplish, other than to say that he wanted to "see funds made available to help the relief effort which, by any reasonable estimate here, has not progressed well."
Then Whitfield hit Barr with a tough question on his integrity: after all the American government had done to clean up Duvalier's mess, as a former Congressman, did he see any conflict of interest? Barr seemed to take offense, arguing that the American government had not helped much and, that, in fact, "the country is in worse shape now than it was at the time Mr. Duvalier was president."
Well, at least Barr isn't representing the LP in his capacity as Baby Doc's defender. I wish the same could be said of Root's mash note for Egypt's embattled president Hosni Mubarak, which was not only written by a sitting LP committee chair but was published on the party Web site:
I just got off the phone with a longtime friend- a successful Egyptian business leader. He believes that several hundred thousand people in the streets do not represent the 80 million citizens of Egypt. They represent anarchists, communists, and Islamic extremists- all with an agenda and axe to grind. He says if you polled the people of Egypt today, the majority would support Mubarak. He says that the backbone of Egypt- the business owners, small business community, and middle class still support Mubarak and the military. They are horrified by the mobs in the street and are shocked at Obama's tepid response to the riots and the one-sided portrayal of the situation by the U.S. media.
Because, you know, video footage of protesters being beaten and shot by Mubarak's hired thugs can't possibly mean that…Mubarak has sent hired thugs out to beat and shoot protesters. And besides, they're anarchists, the filthy little upstarts. Totally asking for it!
It is shameful that the party of Nolan and Rothbard has become the party of apologists for dictators, but I can take comfort in knowing that as the Libertarian Party's radical core has dwindled to nothing, so too has its relevancy to libertarianism in general.

Primary colors are a group of colors that can be mixed together to create a wider range of colors. Red, yellow and blue are primary colors because they cannot be created by mixing other colors together. In essence they are natural colors that, along with black and white, can make every other color on the spectrum.
Red, yellow and blue are classic colors that are seen in everyday life. Many toys and children's furniture are designed in these bright and playful colors but they are also used in store awnings, clothing and a myriad of other items. These colors have their own symbols and meanings with red being representative of love and anger, yellow being the symbol of both joy and cowardliness and blue standing for boys, strength and sadness. Due to their presence in the natural environment, these primary colors appear in the histories of practically every country and they continue to play a role today.
Anyone who owns a color wheel understands the utter importance of these primary colors because they are the keys to creating all the other colors while remaining beautiful and ever-present in their own right. These are colors that will never go out of style, especially in their original forms.

|Bermudez earns first WAC honor
DENVER – Idaho sophomore women's tennis player Rita Bermudez earned Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors Tuesday after playing a huge role in Idaho's 4-0 win at Grand Canyon in Bermudez's home state of Arizona.
Bermudez, a sophomore from Tucson, Ariz. (Canyon del Oro HS), won both her singles and doubles matches in Idaho's 4-0 win at Grand Canyon. In her return to her home state of Arizona, Bermudez's 8-6 doubles win with teammate Galina Bykova was the difference-maker in Idaho winning the doubles point, as the Vandals and 'Lopes split the Nos. 1 and 3 doubles matches. In singles play, her 6-4, 6-4 victory at No. 6 gave Idaho the match-clinching point in the 4-0 win. Despite the score, the match was extremely close. The doubles point could have gone either way, and when Bermudez clinched the match for Idaho the remaining three matches were very much in doubt.
"Rita played great and it was great that her friends and family were able to come see her in her home state," Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said. "Her clinching her singles match was critical for us. That's a match that really could have gone either way so her performance in singles and doubles really helped the team to a win against the second place team in the conference."
Bermudez and the Vandals have three more matches in the southwest coming up, facing UTEP in El Paso, Texas on Apr. 11, and taking on Arkansas State and WAC-foe New Mexico State in Las Cruces, N.M., Apr. 12 and 13. The WAC tournament is Apr. 25-27 in Las Cruces, N.M.

College Hockey:Brodzinski third-period goals lift St. Cloud State past Minnesota-Duluth
DULUTH, Minn. — Jonny Brodzinski scored a pair of third-period goals as No. 2 St. Cloud State broke a tie for a 4-2 victory Friday over No. 20 Minnesota-Duluth.
Brodzinski gave the Huskies a 3-2 lead with 5:31 remaining, then scored into an empty net in the final minute for St. Cloud State (10-1-2, 5-1-1 NCHC), which moved into first place in the NCHC.
Ryan Faragher made 36 saves for the Huskies, who were outshot 38-19.
Nic Dowd and Kalle Kossila also scored for the Huskies, who rallied from a goal down in both the first and second periods.
Caleb Herbert and Justin Crandall had goals for Minnesota-Duluth (6-6-1, 2-3), while Matt McNeely allowed three goals on 18 shots.

Thomas Gray to James Dodsley, [c. 1 February 1768]
Let the Title be only Poems by Mr Gray without any mention of notes or additions. you will judge, whether what few notes there are should stand at bottom of each page, or be thrown to the end. all I desire is, that the text be accurately printed, & therefore whoever corrects the press, should have some acquaintance with the Greek, Latin, & Italian, as well as the English, tongues. let the order stand thus, unless you have begun to print already: if so, it is indifferent to me.
You will print the four first & the last from your own large edition (first publish'd with Mr B:s plates) in the 5th & 6th you will do well to follow the edition printed at St:y-hill: I mention this, because there are several little faults of the press in your Miscellanies. remember, the Long Story must be quite omitted. now for the notes.
I hope, you have not begun to reprint: but if you have, you must throw the notes, &c: to the end, or where you please, omitting the mottoes, wch do not much signify. When you have done, I shall desire you to present in my name a copy to Mr Walpole in Arlington-street, another to Mr Daines Barrington (he is one of the Welch Judges) in the Inner-Temple; & a third to Mr J: Butler at Andover: whether this latter Gentleman be living or not, or in that neighbourhood, I am ignorant: but you will oblige me in making the enquiry. if you have no better means of knowing, a line directed to the Post-mistress at Andover will bring you information. after this you may (if you please) bestow another copy or two on me.
P:S: It is Mr Foulis of Glasgow, that prints them in Scotland: he has been told, that you are doing the same. I have desired, he would not print a great number, & could wish the same of you.

The Chicago Blackhawks got their first real taste of what defense of the Stanley Cup will look like this season, as a feisty ( and fighting) St. Louis Blues team rolled into town, taking a 2-0 lead into the third period.
The Hawks would fight back though, scoring on a pair of Marian Hossa goals late in the third period to tie the game, and force overtime. Patrick Sharp would complete the comeback in OT, scoring an assisted goal for the game-winner. The victory extends the winning streak for Chicago to three, as well as a personal streak of game-winning goals for Sharp (three).
"Whether its back door or down the slot, when the puck is going in, you seem to find those quiet areas and the puck comes to you a bit more," Sharp said.

Dominion, a Virginia-based energy company, closed its deal to sell the Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset and two Illinois plants to Energy Capital Partners, a private equity firm with offices in New Jersey and California.
Energy Capital Partners paid $472 million for the three properties, said Dan Genest, a Dominion spokesman. Dominion would not disclose the sale price of Brayton alone.
The sale is part of Dominion's strategy to exit the merchant power business, in which generators sell electricity in competitive markets, to focus on its regulated utility holdings.
Dominion had owned the coal-fired, 1,528-megawatt Brayton power station since 2005.
Last summer, Dominion sold the coal- and oil-fired Salem Harbor Power Station in Salem to Footprint Power LLC of New Jersey. Footprint said it plans to convert the plant to cleaner-burning natural gas.
Energy Capital partners could not be reached for comment.

In this rate law, the rate of disappearance of NO and O2 is proportional to the concentrations of NO and O2, where k is a rate constant (a proportionality constant). The exponent associated with each concentration term are referred to as the partial order. The sum of the partial orders gives the overall order of the reaction. In the above rate law, the partial order for NO is 2 and is often referred to as 2nd order. The partial order for O2 is 1 and is often refereed to as 1st order. The overall order is 3 (3rd order). It is important to note that the coefficients found in the balanced equation are not related to the exponents found in the rate law.
For the equality to hold true, x must equal 1. This makes the partial order for O2 first order.
The same procedure is used to determine the partial order of NO. Pick two trials in which the concentration of O2 is held constant while the concentration of NO is varied. These criteria are met with Trial 1 and Trial 3. The concentration of O2 is held constant while the concentration of NO has tripled. Under these conditions, the rate of the reaction is increased nine fold. This may be expressed mathematically as:
For the equality to hold true, x must be 2. This makes the partial order for NO second order.
We are now able to write the rate law: Rate = k[NO]2[O2], where k is the rate constant. To solve for the rate constant, choose any experimental trial, and substitute for the rate, and concentrations of NO and O2. Trial 1 data will be arbitrarily chosen in this case:
Thus the rate law becomes:
If one were to graph experimental data where log k is along the y-axis and 1/T is along the x-axis, a straight line would result. The slope of the line is Ea/2.303R, and the y-intercept corresponds to log A. By determining the slope of the line mathematically, one could calculate the energy of activation. Similarly, if one extrapolates the line to the y-intercept, one could calculate the collision factor.
Since the slope embodies the energy of activation, a simplified form the Arrhenius equation could be used to determine the energy of activation. One requires knowledge of the rate constants at two different temperatures. Recall that the slope of a line is determined by the change in y over the change in x ("rise" over "run"). With this in mind, one is able to generate the following equation:
Since the y-intercept, log A, is not part of the slope, it can be ignored. This equation may be used to solve the following problem:
Substitute the rate constants and temperatures into the Arrhenius equation:
Solve for Ea. Remember to do the arithmetic inside the parenthesis first.

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{R}$ and denote the dual of $V$ by $V^*$. Then for $E$ a subspace of $V$ and $\epsilon\in \Lambda^2E^*$ clearly the space $$L=L(E,\epsilon):=\{X+\xi \in E\oplus V^*: \left.\xi\right|_{E}=\iota_X\epsilon\}$$ is isotropic with respect to the inner product on $V\oplus V^*$ given by $$<X+\xi,Y+\eta> = \frac{1}{2}(\eta(X)+\xi(Y)).$$ My first question is how do we know that $L(E,\epsilon)$ is maximally isotropic, i.e., that the dimension of $L$ is the same as the dimension of $V$?
My second question is regarding the proof that every maximal isotropic is of the form $L(E,\epsilon)$.
The proof I am reading proceeds as follows:
Let $L<V\oplus V^*$ be a maximal isotropic and let $E$ be the projection of $L$ onto $V$. Then it says that since $L$ is a maximal isotropic $L\cap V^*=\text{Ann}(E)$.
But wouldn't this imply that $L(E,\epsilon)=E\oplus \text{Ann}(E)$ no matter the choice of $\epsilon\in \Lambda^2E^*$ (my apologies for the use of $E$ here in two different contexts)?

The Gentleman's Instant Genius Guide author Tom Cutler shares his foolproof solutions to overcoming the 10 most searched-for phobias on the Internet. Hint: there's a recurring theme
1. Flying
Jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery was once asked to play at Ronnie Scott's Soho jazz club but declined because he was too terrified of flying. So Ronnie personally flew out to California to hold his hand on the flight over to London. As they taxied to the runway the already heavily sweating Montgomery started to shake with terror. In his best reassuring voice, Scott said: "Look at it this way, Wes: when it's your time to die, it's your time to die." "I know," replied Montgomery, "but I don't want to die when it's the pilot's time to die". Heavy sedation (try a few large Scotches) is the answer here.
2. Heights
I'm not very good with heights myself and my knees tend to go all wobbly. Once, coming out of the lift at the top of the Empire State Building, I looked down through the gap between the door and the floor and could see the sharply receding 'chimney' up which I had travelled. It gave me the willies – with knobs on – and I started to make mouse-like squeaking noises. On another occasion, I was persuaded to go up the not-all-that-high lighthouse on Plymouth Hoe. Steeling myself, I bent double and squeezed into the narrow staircase, where I was immediately overcome by claustrophobia. I should have had a few large Scotches beforehand.
3. Clowns
Clowns don't bother me, except for their not being very – or at all – funny. If you are frightened of them I suggest you just imagine them falling over, or having water poured into their trousers, or getting a custard pie in the face. That will stop them seeming so fierce. Hang on a minute, that is what happens to them anyway. I don't know what the problem is here. Just avoid going to the circus (obviously) or have a few large whiskies to calm your nerves.
4. Intimacy
If you are frightened of intimacy I suggest you simply avoid it. It's not compulsory and it can't spring out at you from a dark alley.
5. Death
Listen. Before you were born you had been effectively dead for billions of years. Did it bother you then? No, of course not. If you are, on the other hand, frightened of hellfire retribution from a vindictive deity, then you should either moderate your behaviour or stop believing such fairy tales.
6. Rejection
Nobody likes rejection but it is a normal part of life, like indigestion. You can avoid it by never doing or saying anything and never meeting or talking to anyone, but that isn't a life. Best thing to do if rejected is lick your wounds, pick yourself up and try again. Either that or drown the humiliating memory with a bottle or two of Scotch.
7. People
Yes, they can be horrible, but avoidance is hardly an option. I think our old friend the intake of several large whiskies is the answer here.
8. Snakes
Move to Antarctica.
9. Success
I don't get this one at all. I can understand fear of failure, but success? What's the matter with you? Actually, I don't think anyone really fears success – it's one of those made-up psychiatric things that they use to label people they can't persuade to stay in ruinously expensive psychoanalysis for another 10 years. "You won't continue, Mr Smith? You're afraid of success, that's your problem. That will be £350, please."
10. Driving
Other people's driving is what scares me. My own driving is a model of exquisite perfection. Men in white vans with "clean me" scratched in the mud on their sides, who appear from nowhere and cut you up, boy racers who speed past you at 90 in built-up areas and little old ladies peering at you through the steering wheel as they go the wrong way down the M1, that's what scares me. I control my fear by always drinking a few large Scotches before I get behind the controls. You should try it; it's guaranteed to banish all fear and send you off into a lovely doze. (My publisher's legal department browned their trousers on reading this. It is a joke. Obviously, you should never drink and drive – as if you would.)

The namesake sea lions are the undisputed stars of Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island, the long running show at SeaWorld Orlando that shuts down on August 10 to make way for a brand-new offering in 2015, but there's one furry little critter who often upstages them.
If you've ever seen the show, you've no doubt chuckled at the antics of Opie the Otter, the little map stealing bandit who streaks across the stage. He's small, but he has a powerful presence that wins the hearts of the audience. After all, what's cuter than a furry little otter?
Click the video accompanying this article to meet Opie for yourself and learn about some of the challenges of training an otter to perform in a show. Unlike the larger animals, otters have a short attention span. Fortunately, they respond to positive reinforcement, especially when it's coupled with doing their natural behaviors. Even though they're not very good at staying on task for long periods of time, they can learn short tricks based on what they naturally enjoy doing. Even though he doesn't get a lot of face time, Opie's spirited performances always delight the guests.
There are actually around 12 otters who perform the role of Opie. Although it's not confirmed that he'll be in the new 2015 show, hopefully his popularity will win him another role alongside the sea lion stars.
If you'd like to learn how the sea lions are trained, go here for a video demonstration or jump to this article for a slideshow. Want to see some photos of Opie and his other animals friends? Go here. Winston Walrus, who also appears in the show, is also quite talented. Go here for a video of walrus antics.

Hey everyone! It's been a busy last few weeks for the GymCats with recruits and Homecoming, but now it's time to get down to "gym" business! Practices have been getting better everyday, which is always a good sign! :) Monday we had a little competition on beam. Both the red and blue teams did great! A lot of people stepped up to the plate so to speak! We love to see those competitive streaks come out. Our beam team is going to be AMAZING this year! Friday we had a little "game" that Bill made up for bars that dealt with strategy and confidence in each other. It was a lot of fun! Bars is looking better and better, with new tricks and harder dismounts everyday.
It's the GymCats favorite time of year... Thanksgiving! We had a team Thanksgiving party on Sunday before everyone leaves for the break. But don't worry, we definitely worked it off in weights the next day! Everyone made something different, mostly the basics, and we had lots of desserts. We love team bonding opportunities like these. After eating a big dinner, most of us took little cat naps while watching "Hitch". Some of the girls are going home on Wednesday after weights for a few days. But the rest of us are staying in town, partly due to the nice warm weather! We are still laying in the sun and it's November! I get surgery on Wednesday on my knee so my Mom will be here to cook us a great Thanksgiving dinner!
On a little bit of a sadder note, Matt Radelet, our trainer, just decided to take a new job in town. We are all going to miss him a lot, but we know the job was just too good for him to pass up. The whole GymCat family wishes him the best, and we thank him for all the great years he spent with the GymCats. And we expect him to come to all our meets and of course, still listen to our whining, because we know he'll miss it greatly!
I guess that's all for now, even though I could go on and on about this team. I can't wait for the season to start and for everyone to see the new and improved GymCats!

From what I understand, there are four different types of scorpios. Is this true? I understand it has something to do with the week/ time you were born in. From what I understand, there are Phoenix Scorpios, Dragon Scorpios, Double Scorpios (Scorpio Scorpio), and 'moon' Scorpios.
Has anyone else heard this?
I have heard that I am a Phoenix Scorpio. My Birthday is November 13, 1968

Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sun, June 4, 2006 - 3:44 AMI wouldn't mind knowing what type of scorpio I am
Oct 25 1981 is when I was born.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sun, June 4, 2006 - 5:10 AMHi, James,
I have taught that there are 4 types of Scorpios, but all exist as potential within each Scorpio. There is the scorpion, the dragon, the eagle and the phoenix. Any Scorpio can be at one of those levels, and progress, or devolve, to one of the others, but the highest level is the rebirth associated with the phoenix.
I have never heard of four types, as you describe them.
I know that a Double Scorpio is usually the term used to describe a Scorpio who also has either his Moon, or Rising Sign, in Scorpio. (A Triple Scorpio, of course, would have all three.)
And a person can be another sign, but have a Moon in Scorpio. My daughter is a Cancer, but has Moon in Scorpio.
Should you ever find anything written about the four types, as you categorized them, please publish it here, as I have not read such a breakdown (and I have been involved with astrology since 1969.)
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Wed, June 7, 2006 - 2:52 PMthats weird, what came to mind when i first read this was that i was a pheonix scorp..hmm...im a metal monkey in chinese...i will search..
Metal Monkey?Sat, June 10, 2006 - 8:35 PMI am a Monkey in Chinese Astrology as well. I am not sure what element I am, it might be wood.
Earth MonkeySat, June 10, 2006 - 8:41 PMActually, I found out I am an Earth monkey.
Re: Earth MonkeyFri, August 4, 2006 - 6:13 AMI'm an Earth monkey/Scorpio too.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sat, June 10, 2006 - 9:00 PMI found this link on the internet, discussing the connection between Eagles, Phoenixes, and Scorpio. There is no mention of a Dragon, but there are references to a 'winged serpent' such as the Caudecus ('Staff of Medicine'), and the kundalini (A coiled serpent of energy at the base of your spine.) This 'winged serpent' might explain some of the purported healing powers of the Scorpio (and interest in medicine and medical professions). The kundalini might explain the intensity and the energy.
Sift and glean from this article.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sun, August 6, 2006 - 6:19 PMA winged serpent could easily be kin of the dragons. I suspect there is a similarity in essence.

Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Wed, December 6, 2006 - 1:03 PMI have, but different catagories... has to do with vibrations:
the Snake scorpio (the lowest)
the Scorpion scorpio
the Eagle scorpio
the Phoenix scorpio (the highest, most evolved)
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Thu, May 22, 2008 - 1:08 PMI'm Phoenix Scorp here and Fire Horse.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Fri, May 23, 2008 - 1:38 AMI have scorp-sun and scorp-rising. I am born on the year of the boar. The Chinese equivalent to scorpio. And Its also a metal boar year. metal being the element of scorpio.
I am a rock star and a scorpio. There is a group of stars named Scorpius. One of my Favorite Transformers is named Scorponok. This sign is strong in me.
I dont think I am Phoenix level yet because I really hope I can evolve just a bit more. Always a bit more. Like a kung fu master who is still always learning.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Thu, May 29, 2008 - 7:17 PMI pretty much agree with what Zane had to say, but he did leave out the Dove, which I believe to be the highest form.
I found this on a website a few minutes ago:
The Scorpion symbolises the hotheaded warrior who is violently passionate, bluntly sarcastic, egotistical, controlling and manipulative.
The soaring Eagle represents the calm but intense, focused, determined, intuitive and perceptive Scorpio who often develops healing, clairvoyant and counselling abilities.
The sacret Serpent, an Egyptian emblem of cosmic wisdom, was grounded in earthly reality, but penetrated the higher levels of consciousness. The serpent periodically sheds outworn habits, beliefs and illusions to facilitate growth through rebirth.
The Phoenix is the confident, courageous, positive transformer that transcends personal ego.
The sympathetic, generous Dove, a natural healer, is infused with love which it transmits to others.
On another note, according to the Bible the Holy Spirit descended in bodily shape like a dove at the baptism of Jesus.
The baptism is symbolic of a death and a rebirth to a higher spiritual form.
With the dove type, I see that though it has great power, it is able to use it with compassion for the good of others.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sat, June 7, 2008 - 5:15 PMthis is what it sounds like, when doves cry
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Fri, October 17, 2008 - 3:22 PMDon't forget October vs. November Scorps. Oh, and Halloween and Day of the Dead Scorps fall in their own categories as well.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Wed, February 4, 2009 - 7:45 AMIn astrology the three most important aspects that influence one's character are:
The Sun (ego), this is your birth sign
The ascendant (how you come across)
The Moon (the soul)
A scorpio that has scorpio ascendant is called a double scorpio (I am one)
I suppose a scorpio-dragon is a scorpio that was born in the year of the dragon. (a combination of 2 different kinds of astrology)
I suppose a moon-scorpio is somebody that has his/her moon in scorpio.
In old astrology there were 3 kinds of scorpio's; the snake, the scorpio and the dove.
Also known as: the scorpio, the eagle and the phoenix.
Some astrologers say these are the 3 stages of a scorpio, and it's the aim of the scorpio to become the phoenix. (or that dove)
In modern astrology they also speak of a black, a gray and a white scorpio...
The phoenix symbolizes the ability of the scorpio to burn him/herself up to ashes, and rise from the ashes as a beautiful phoenix.
I don't believe in these 3 stages, I think every scorpio possesses these 3 stages.
Under the right circumstances I can become a scorpio, I can become that souring eagle and pick out peoples weak spot.
And I am also able to burn myself up, (like a snake that loses its scale) and arise more persistant and determined than before.
But one has to understand, astrology is the language of symbols.
There is something magic about symbols, a symbol could mean one thing to a person, but another thing to another person.
It is you, the receiver, that make them speak, give them meaning - my opinion ofcourse
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sun, February 8, 2009 - 4:49 AMI am the Phoenix,
but I do not think it has anything to do with the date ,
I agree with Captain ,
all 4 types of Scorpios are within all Scorpios ,
having the potential ..
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sun, February 8, 2009 - 12:17 PMmuch agreed adriana ... scorpio is scorpio ... period .
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sat, June 27, 2009 - 12:46 AMThere are many different symbols for the Scorpio.... more than any other sign... i wonder whats that's about? All of the above, i've heard of plus a gray lizard...?.... bottom line Scorpio has several different levels that they marinate in the Scorpion being more dark... hence the Scorpion living in the crevices and cracks, in the dark, hiding....then the eagle soring above all, with a broader higher viewpoint than other creatures, then we have the Phoenix which represents rebirth... being, of course, Scorpios highest spiritual potential....
Personally i transition from one to the other and back again, which leaves me to believe there is no real evolving between any of the stages... you can evolve within each stage but one stage in not necessarily more evolved than the next... I have found in my personal experience that the higher i rise as an eagle, the deeper and darker i will sink back down as a scorpion, then, eventually, I will spontaneously combust out of my own self destruction, and rise again ( pardon meeeee while i buuuuuuurst intoooooooooo flames......) BUT, and this is important, I find that there are very very very important lessons to be learned in my scorpion phase... lessons to do with areas of the human psyche than are otherwise forbidden..... and yes, I may have exploited them in others at the time, especially sexually.... but i was all part of the experience and in the name of learning... not to mention that this is necessary to move onto new, broader horizons... (giving me a higher boost as an eagle or a hotter flame as Pheonix....)
You'll have to forgive me, I have been in this stage for months now ( Scorpion) and have been fiercely protective of it, particuliarly sexuality that others are uncomfortable with... I have just been being a very naughty girl and have been enjoying every second of it, and refuse to feel guilty over simply acknowledging what many others deny or delude within themselves and others... the truth with set you free baby.... A -fucking -men.....
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Thu, August 13, 2009 - 7:44 PM"personally, I transition from one to the other..."
Hallo fellow scorps. I'm new here and haven't bothered to put up a pict yet, but anyway. I find that the transition is true of me also. I find that I can never decide whether I am an ascetic saint, a pleasure seeking sybarite, a drunken wastrel, or a power mongering corporate executive type. I like to think of these as corresponding to the four different scorpio symbols ( whichever symbols you prefer to use) and to keep myself from wasting away into boredom I prefer to alternate between the types at random- just to keep every one else around me on their toes. Of course, sometimes I get confused and end up hung over at a prayer meeting in a board room eating a bowl of chocolate covered sauerkraut while watching alien porn:) Does this happen to anyone else out there?
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Thu, August 13, 2009 - 9:41 PMyou diggin' it tha most

Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Fri, August 14, 2009 - 4:02 PMis that like Mexican porn?
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Fri, August 14, 2009 - 8:28 PMI was thinking more along the lines of zebra headed hermaphroditic humanoids with antlers and purple genitalia, but yeah sure, why not Mexican porn. Or Latvian porn. Or Finnish. Or whatever. We could combine them all and see what happens. I can just see it- candlelight dancing moodily off the bowls of sauerkraut, the dark haired Mexican beauty, a back drop of gorgeous Soviet era government housing, Latvian peaseants shopping in the market place, and a zebra headed Finnish hermaphrodite in a kinky black dress. It's something to think about surely.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Fri, August 21, 2009 - 6:17 PMI think nobody is actually one or the other, each person goes through different phrases of a Scorpio's life cycle. A bag of mixed nuts really.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sat, August 22, 2009 - 10:32 PMBeing scorpio moon is freaking intense in respect to emotions. But what is the diiference on it? Do scorpio sun people feel intense as well as moon in scorpio people? I dont understand that, I feel rebellious, extreme at times like I dont have control to stop my emotions and I would like to know if scorpio sun people feel that way. I am a libra sun but introvert and I don like superficiality so what I AM? anyways I keep my sweet smile and my attractiveness with me and I am counselor to people making them cry when I find what is going on with them. I always repeat to myself be a libra - be a libra keep being a libra go away scorpio go away from me Libra is like an angel for me and scorpio is like a devil actually I have two personalities and only a scorpio can understand that because even my cancer or piscisian friends dont understand about me, they are confused of what I am.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Fri, February 26, 2010 - 8:53 PMSmoky you are so on point. Ive always believed that myself that we are all three. But knowing when that time come it will be. The Bible speaks there is a time and place for all things. Being a double scorpio myself and full of emotion. Each day is a new day to me. One day I may become a phoenix due to getting a new understanding on something that may have been plaguing me. And now that I have found that elation of spirit I sore and move to bigger things.On another day things may not be going my way and in order to make them go my way I may have to turn into the scorpion and sting my opponent.
But as you said there are so many ways to see these symbols. Its just what you take out of it and how its used.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sun, May 23, 2010 - 2:33 AMIs there actually any way to find out which type you are? And is there actually a website that lists them all, or does everyone add another animal in lol? I'm very curious about this because I am very into astrology, and myself as as a Scorpio. I see myself as very sexual, yet i am extremely intuitive, kind, caring, and very very jealous..someone help me out lol. I feel like I should know this type of thing.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sun, May 23, 2010 - 2:33 AMOh by the way I was born on the 25 of oct
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Wed, August 25, 2010 - 9:13 PMscorpion is that point in your life when things are a fight in life but u tough it out until your scorpion dies. through your dead scorpion fires the phoenix which is when u reivent your self and rise up off the underworld floor( crawling scorpion( . your phoenix period is the transformation to get your eagle in flight . soaring above bullshit and nobody can touch you ,picking off opponents and great insight .your eagle soars until u land on the floor again(.getting traped on the floor (other peoples bullshit usually drags us down)dont land ur eagle!
Re: Four different types of Scorpios?Sat, October 2, 2010 - 3:31 AMA person born under the Scorpio sign, has the opportunity to evolve (it is not given to you at birth) into an individual who can bring great benefits to society, simply out of love for the fellow humans. This greatest potential can be attained by paying careful attention during the many trials that will come in this life time. Then a choice must be made to learn from the mistakes, so that they are never, ever, repeated again. As ritchie put it, "Don't land your Eagle!" All the monetary and social gains will be provided along the way, as long as the right choices continue to be made.
Re: Four different types of Scorpios.Fri, December 2, 2011 - 6:32 AMThe dragon and phoenix are symbols of Scorpio implying our dark power and our capacity for rebirth. They define personal character. Depends on my mood and how my girlfriend treats me ;). Double Scorpio (which I am) means Ascendant and Sun in Scorpio, usually Sun in late 12th or the Ist house. Moon Scorpio means the Moon was in Scorpio when you were born.

Valentines Tips & Ideas
Here are 30 date night ideas that you can do at home after the little ones are tucked into bed and SOUND ASLEEP.
1. Have dinner in the backyard, patio, or your front lawn.
2. Re-watch the first movie you watched together.
3. Don't cook and get your favorite take out.
4. Have a theme night. You must dress, eat dinner, and watch a movie with the same theme. Think 'Western' and dress like a cowgirl, eat bar-b-que, and watch Tombstone. Think 'French' and put on a black and white top, make French onion soup, and watch Amelie. It could be anything!
5. Put a blanket down and picnic in front of the TV.
6. Make a special dessert to indulge in. Bake chocolate chip cookies and right when you get them out of the oven put vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce on top. Even making brownies from a box can warm up any night.
7. Take a shower and get dressed up to go out, but stay in. One night I even put on my dress from my prom. I would never wear it out now, but I still love it and wore it on a night in.
8. Snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. I (heart) my Netflix queue!
9. Try to beat your all time record. (This was my husband's suggestion for the list.)
10. Wear your old bikini that you would never wear in public again, because your stretch marks glisten too brightly in the sunlight! Ha. Your husband won't care and will love you in it.
11. Break out the board games. Play it so that the loser has to do the dishes or even a fun strip version.
12. Wear your favorite lingerie under your normal clothes. Better yet wear none underneath.
13. Sit outside and read together.
14. Have a candlelit dinner in the dining room you rarely use.
15. Make a mix CD or playlist to enjoy throughout the evening.
16. Dance! Make room for our own private dance floor and have fun. Don't worry, no one is watching you dance like Elaine Benes.
17. Write out an invitation card to your date requesting their presence at the VIP Lounge of your private nightclub.
18. Splurge on delicious cheeses and add fruit, crackers, and wine.
19. Make out during the DVD menu music.
20. Give each other a back rub.
21. Share your favorite dating memory with each other over dinner.
22. Set out candles around the room. (I know this is an old idea, but it is really nice to do once in a while.)
23. Dress as a character from a movie and you pick the character for each other (think Tom Cruise in Risky Business).
24. Work out together. Set up a circuit in the garage or in the back yard with a jump rope, dumbbells, push-up, and sit-up stations.
25. Cook together and try a new recipe for dinner or for a cocktail.
26. Go to bed early together.
27. Play video games together.
28. Watch a sports game and eat stadium food like nachos and hot dogs.
29. Set up a pair of chairs and stick your feet in the kiddie pool.
30. Make breakfast in bed for dinner and watch TV.
Do you have date nights at home? What do you do? Does it get harder to have a date night at home when the kids get older?
via The Mom Crowd » 30 Ideas For a Date Night at Home.
Make a Valentines "Mail Box":
Source: familyfun.go.com
Whether at home or at school, this snazzy letter box won't fail to attract some first-class love notes.
- Rectangular cardboard box
- Craft glue
- White self-adhesive shelf paper
- Craft knife
- Colored paper
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Velcro dots
- Stickers, stamps, and other decorations
Glue the box lid closed and cover the entire box with several layers of white self-adhesive shelf paper (enough to block out any writing on the box).
Starting 2 inches from the top, use a craft knife to carefully cut along three sides of the box, leaving the back intact to serve as the hinge (a parent's job). Cut a mail slot (also a parent's job) in the front of the box.
Make a tab closure from a 2 1/2- by 3/4-inch strip of colored paper. Fold it in half and staple it to the center front of the cover. Attach Velcro dots to the tab and the box to keep the top shut.
Decorate the entire box with paper cutouts, stamps, or heart-shaped stickers.

April 7, 2008 - Nashville High School Students and Child Welfare Organizations Ask for Comprehensive Non-Discrimination Policy
Contact: Christine Sun , ACLU of TN, 615-329-9934
NASHVILLE, TN – On Tuesday, April 8, 2008, the MNPS Support Student Safety coalition will be presenting a proposal for a comprehensive non-discrimination policy at the Metropolitan-Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) board meeting. The broad-based coalition hopes to secure a non-discrimination policy that will affirm MNPS's commitment to providing equal educational opportunities for all students, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT). Similar policies are already in place in other school districts in Tennessee and the Southeast, including in Knox County, Memphis, Little Rock and Charlotte, North Carolina.
"We've worked hard to reach out to the community," said Eric Austin, a Hume-Fogg junior and a member of the coalition. "We hope to show the School Board that this is a problem that affects all students and that the students of Nashville deserve the same protections as students in Knox County and Memphis."
Formed in June 2007 with the assistance of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, the Coalition includes a number of Nashville's most respected child welfare organizations, including the Oasis Center, Centerstone, Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee, One-in-Teen Youth Services, The Child and Family Policy Center at the Vanderbilt Institute for Public Policy Studies and the Mayor's Youth Council. The Coalition says that adopting a more inclusive policy will make the district safer for all of its students.
Over the past school year, the student members of the Coalition have engaged in an extensive campaign to educate the Nashville community about the negative effects of bullying in schools. According to a recent nationwide survey by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), students who experience anti-gay bullying are more likely to report depression, to seriously consider suicide and to miss school because they felt unsafe.
"Bullying and harassment against gay and transgender students are problems for everyone, not just the students being picked on," said Evie Farnsworth, a senior at Hume-Fogg High School and one of the founders of the Coalition. "Everyone should be able to go to a school where each student feels safe and is treated with respect."
The MNPS Code of Conduct does not currently have a student non-discrimination or anti-bullying policy that includes specific categories. The policy proposed by the Coalition will state that, "It is the policy of the Metro Nashville Public Schools to afford all persons, regardless of their actual or perceived race, religion, color, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, or gender, including gender identity, expression, and appearance, equal rights and opportunities in all of its educational institutions."

Tikkunei Zohar Section 105b…And Qudsha Brikh Hu takes these words and He builds worlds with them, of which it is stated: (Isaiah 66:22) For as the new heavens and the new earth which I am making…
You build worlds when you unify the concepts of Creation and Manifestation making new heavens and new earths. You builds with words of unity coming from thoughts of unity coming from unity itself. You have within you the Creation that is ongoing. It responds to your comprehension to your intention and your invention. What you stand upon is the throne of glory, that fundamental singularity which infuses everything with its pulsing with its reflection and with its eternal life.
When you are able to take into account everything that is all around you and unite with the heavens and earth in a single purpose to make things better than you are riding along the flow of manifest Creation. It is for this purpose that we are placed in this Garden of Eden to dress of keep it. We have the directive to make things better. Now this good that is in our charge in not just a personal good. It is the good for all. It means that every part of our world must be corrected or transformed back to its limitless perfection.
Every thought therefore is fair game for our awareness to either accept and multiply or reject and dissipate. We are building in thought of everything that appears in our world. Imagine that in this very moment you are starting anew. In truth you are because of the continuous nature of Creation. Think about your world. How would you have things be? Now in many cases such a meditation is an excuse for composition, a reason to think of a better way to be. Start with your own environment and work your way out. You are the center of the expression of your good. From there radiate outwards into the world ever expanding your vision to include more and more of the world healing its hurts and enhancing its beauty.
Kabbalah teaches you to never just react to something going on around you. Everything is an opportunity to make it better. You see a person in need and you help them. In this act you make things better. Follow through in like fashion with everything that appears to you having one thought in mind; how can I make things better?

BRUNSWICK — A five-year financial forecast shows Brunswick Schools ending the year in June with $2.1 million in the general fund.
But the forecast — a document the state requires school districts to file annually by the end of May — shows Brunswick expects a shortfall of $5.1 million following the 2015-16 school year if no new money comes in.
The forecast also predicts a deficit of $20.9 million at the end of the 2017-18 school year.
School officials expected the deficit predictions and are debating asking voters for an additional levy.
Last May the school board scrapped a nine-year, 5.9-mill levy, choosing instead to see what the funding would be in the two-year state budget.
When the state provided $2.2 million more than expected, the board asked voters to approve a two-year, 4.9-mill levy in November 2013. Voters rejected the levy by a narrow 253-vote margin.
An eight-year, 6.1-mill renewal levy passed easily with 63 percent of votes earlier this month.
Superintendent Michael Mayell thanked the community for its support at Monday's school board meeting, calling the election results "encouraging" and "supportive."
Mayell said board members are likely to begin discussions soon about asking for new levy money this fall.
The board's next work session is June 2 and its regular meeting is June 16.
During the past year, the district has cut $4 million from the budget and eliminated 20 positions. Brunswick school administrators and central office staff took a pay freeze in an effort to save money. Those moves have helped keep the district in the black through June 2015, but they're not enough to prevent deficit spending.
The budget estimate school board members approved Monday shows expenses outweigh revenues in each of the next four school years leading to a deficit within two years' time.
The report shows revenues of around $64.9 million at the end of June, but estimates revenues will fall to around $61.5 million annually by the summer of 2018.
The report also predicts annual expenditures will increase from about $64.9 million this year to $73.4 million at the end of the 2017-18 school year.

Edmonton police announced in a statement Saturday several charges against a man who allegedly stabbed two co-workers to death and four others in the west-end of the city a day earlier.
Jamie Pasieka, 29, was charged Saturday with two counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder [x1], and possession of an offensive weapon [x2], the statement said. Additional charges are pending.
"It is a devastating situation for everyone, including the families," said Staff Sgt. Bill Clark of the homicide section.
Police identified the two victims as 50-year-old Fitzroy Harris and 41-year-old Thierno Bah. Four other male co-workers aged 21, 29, 34 and 44 were hospitalized. The 34-year-old male remains in hospital.
Police had responded to a call on Friday afternoon at the Loblaws warehouse near 161 St and 121 A Ave in response to a report of multiple assaults involving a knife, a news release said.
Police later arrested Pasieka near 39 Street and 74 Avenue after they received a tip hours after launching a massive manhunt and releasing his pictures to the media.
Autopsies for both victims were scheduled for Monday.

College Hockey:St. Cloud Rallies, Holds Off Sioux To Earn Tie
North Dakota Clinches Home Ice Berth, Huskies To Finish In Second
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — What started out looking like a track meet and one heartily dominated by No. 8 North Dakota developed quickly into a tedious defensive battle by the middle of the second period as second ranked St. Cloud State fought back from a two goal deficit at the first intermission to secure a tie with the Fighting Sioux, 3-3, at the National Hockey Center Friday night.
"It was punch, counterpunch tonight," said North Dakota head coach Dave Hakstol. "The whole game was that way. We had some good play out of a lot of people. Tonight's one of those nights where you wish you could have just been a fan, because it must have been exciting to watch this one from the stands."
"They're one of the best teams in the country," said St. Cloud coach Bob Motzko. "They were fighting for home ice and we saw their 'A' game. I liked the way we played tonight, we came ready to make plays."
North Dakota (18-12-5, 12-10-5 WCHA) wasted no time in going to work once the puck dropped. Maintaining consistent pressure for the first five minutes of the game, the Sioux opened the scoring on the strength of a snapshot from the blue line by junior Robbie Bina. Bina's quick blast was redirected in front by senior captain Chris Porter between the legs of SCSU goaltender Bobby Goepfert.
St. Cloud State (20-6-7, 14-6-7) jumped right back into things about two minutes later. As UND sophomore defenseman Brian Lee lost his stick in the corner, SCSU junior Nate Dey came away with the puck and skated behind the net with Lee in hot pursuit. Dey curled around to the front and hit senior captain Casey Borer at the top of the right faceoff circle with a perfect pass. Borer one-timed the offering, and the puck evaded North Dakota netminder Philippe Lamoureux to tie the score.
The Sioux went straight back to it, however, and the St. Cloud defense did not follow along. A mere 15 seconds after Borer had tied the score, freshman Chris VandeVelde notched the first goal of his collegiate career with his persistence. After the initial shot by sophomore Brad Miller was knocked down by Goepfert, VandeVelde, standing by the left goalpost began hacking away at the puck, which Goepfert was trying to cover. Eventually, it found its way into the back of the net, putting the Sioux back ahead before Borer's goal had even been announced.
The deadly sophomore line of Duncan-Oshie-Toews has been scoring almost at will in recent weeks, and they made UND's third goal look easy. Goepfert made the initial save off a shot by Ryan Duncan, but the puck squirted free as the SCSU senior tried to cover it up. Jonathan Toews simply approached the crease, picked out the puck, and sent it to the roof of the net from the left side.
"Say what you want about that line, they're just three of the hardest working individuals in the country," said Hakstol.
"We just keep banging away," said T.J. Oshie. "We just keep trying to make plays."
St. Cloud State had plenty of opportunities to score during the first period, especially with the man advantage, but the Huskies squandered many of their best opportunities, including a dreadful showing on the power play late in the first, resulting in a first intermission deficit of two goals.
Early in the second period, St. Cloud freshman Andreas Nodl made a head-man pass to junior Andrew Gordon, who skated up to the left faceoff dot and took a shot on net while in stride. Lamoureux made the initial stop, but still couldn't stop the puck from dropping between his legs and trickling into the net behind him. Nodl's pass to Gordon earned him the first assist on the goal for point number 42 of his freshman year, breaking the SCSU record for points scored by a first year player previously held by current New York Rangers forward Matt Cullen.
"It's a good accomplishment," said Nodl. "[Cullen] plays in the NHL, and that's where I'd like to be someday, so hopefully I'm on the right path."
After a penalty to Bina about four minutes later, St. Cloud took the initiative and tied the score on the advantage. A pass through the slot by freshman Ryan Lasch to the point was quickly shoveled off by junior Matt Stephenson to sophomore John Swanson. Swanson ripped a shot from the left side of the ice was knocked out of the air by Lamoureux, but senior Dan Kronick roofed the rebound to bring the game square for a second time.
Aided by two power play opportunities, UND dominated the offense during the second half of the period, but Goepfert stood strong to preserve the tie into the second intermission. At one point, UND forward Erik Fabian burned past St. Cloud defender Garrett Raboin to collect a loose puck in the neutral zone, gaining a breakaway. Fabian looked sure to have scored if not for a Herculean effort by Goepfert and a holding penalty taken by Raboin.
On the resulting power play, defenseman Taylor Chorney rung one off the post, perhaps the Sioux's best scoring chance of the period and the only shot which got by the Husky netminder in the second.
Once the third period began, Lamoureux joined Goepfert in making save after save as the two netminders began a stare-down from which neither would blink. Goepfert made nine stops in the third to Lamoureux's seven, and both teams failed to convert on their only power play opportunities of the period.
As the seconds ticked away in regulation, St. Cloud State managed to earn possession in the UND zone. Nodl accepted a heat-seeking pass near the crease and attempted to backhand a buzzer-beater, but Lamoureux made a game-saving stop, and the contest headed into overtime.
"I saw [Lamoureux] on the ice and just tried to go top shelf," said Nodl. "It would have been nice."
The Fighting Sioux were dominant early on in the overtime period, as they sustained excellent pressure in the attacking zone throughout the first three minutes, peppering the St. Cloud defense early and often, forcing Goepfert to make six saves in the extra frame.
That pressure would be erased by a dangerous play behind the St. Cloud State by Erik Fabian. With Borer dishing the puck behind his own cage, Fabian cross-checked the SCSU captain from behind, and referee Derek Shepard was compelled to call a minor. The resulting power play created some decent opportunities for the Huskies, but only one shot, quickly turned away by Lamoureux. An errant pass to senior Justin Fletcher at the center of the blue line squirted away to center ice with about 17 seconds left to play, ending any hope St. Cloud had of netting the power play winner.
By the time the game entered the extra period, the final result was largely academic for St. Cloud State, as Minnesota had finished off Michigan Tech to clinch the MacNaughton Cup, locking SCSU into the No. 2 seed for the WCHA tournament regardless of Saturday's outcome. The Huskies will host Minnesota-Duluth in the first round next weekend.
"We just need to keep playing hard to end the regular season," said Motzko. "We need to finish up on a high note and get ready for next week."
Meanwhile, North Dakota moves into a tie with Denver for third, clinching home-ice for the fifth consecutive campaign. The Pioneers win the tiebreaker with the Sioux, but UND can finish no lower than fifth. North Dakota can clinch the No. 3 seed with a win and a Denver loss or tie, or a tie and a Denver loss.
"We didn't come into this weekend hoping to clinch a home-ice spot, we came into tonight hoping to clinch a home-ice spot," said Hakstol. "We've been on a one-game-at-a-time pace for the last two or three months."
"We had a five minute lapse there where St. Cloud took it to us," said Oshie. "If we play a full 60, hard, we can come away with two points more often than not."
Both teams complete the 2006-07 regular season Saturday night at the National Hockey Center.

Today is Leap Day- a day added to the common year- which has 365 days, making the leap year consist of 366 days.
But why do we need a Leap Year?
KOZI's Hayli Libbey Thompson tells us more.
In addition to today- leap day- 2012 will also bring us a leap second. On the night of June 30th there will be one more second in the day.
That may not sound like much, but it is a vital second. While the leap year keeps the calendar in order, the leap second keeps the clock in order by closing the gap between time measured by atomic clocks, and time measured by the daily rotation of the Earth.
It is all part of the business of keeping chronological accounts straight, a function performed by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service in Paris. Scientists insert a leap second whenever the gap between atomic time and solar time adds up to a second. The last one was in 2008."CLICK HERE" for Audio

TIMEX UHREN: like a wounded animal looked around him with glittering eyes. Pierre was no longer able to turn away and close his eyes. His curiosity and agitation, like that of timex uhren whole crowd, reached the highest pitch at this fifth murder. Like the others this fifth man seemed calm; he wrapped his loose cloak closer and rubbed one bare foot with the other. When they began to blindfold him he himself adjusted the knot which hurt the back of his head; then when they propped him against the bloodstained post, he leaned back and, not being comfortable in that position, straightened
TIMEX UHREN: himself, adjusted his feet, and leaned back again more comfortably. Pierre did not take his eyes from him and did not miss his slightest movement. Probably a word of command was given timex uhren was followed by the reports of eight muskets; but try as he would Pierre could not afterwards remember having heard the slightest sound of the shots. He only saw how the workman suddenly sank down on the cords that held him, how blood showed itself in two places, how the ropes slackened under the weight of the hanging body, and how the workman sat down, his head
TIMEX UHREN: hanging unnaturally and timex uhren leg bent under him. Pierre ran up to the post. No one hindered him. Pale, frightened people were doing something around the workman. The lower jaw of an old Frenchman with a thick mustache trembled as he untied the ropes. The body collapsed. The soldiers dragged it awkwardly from the post and began pushing it into the pit. They all plainly and certainly knew that they were criminals who must hide the traces of their guilt as quickly as possible. Pierre glanced into the pit and saw that the factory lad was lying with his knees
TIMEX UHREN: close up to his head and one shoulder higher than the other. That shoulder rose and fell rhythmically and convulsively, but spadefuls of earth were already being thrown over the whole body. One of the soldiers, evidently suffering, shouted gruffly and angrily at Pierre to go back. But Pierre did not understand him and remained near the post, and no one drove him away. When the pit had been filled timex uhren a command was given. Pierre was taken back to his place, and the rows of troops on both sides of the post made a half turn and went past
TIMEX UHREN: it at a measured pace. The twenty-four sharpshooters with discharged muskets, standing in the center of the circle, ran back to their places as the companies passed by. Pierre gazed now with dazed eyes at these sharpshooters who ran in couples out of the circle. All but one rejoined their companies. This one, a young soldier, his face deadly pale, his shako pushed back, and his musket resting on the ground, still stood near the pit at the spot from which he had fired. He swayed like a drunken man, taking some steps forward and back to save timex uhren from

San Francisco Opera hosted an extremely rare press conference Thursday afternoon with a panel from the operetta 'Show Boat' which opens the summer season, another Gockley/Zambello American epic. The operetta, a mix of opera and Broadway performers, comes with a twist in the form of San Francisco's genius and clown Bill Irwin as the showboat captain Andy Hawks. 'I've clearly grown into the older character roles' Irwin joked after the conference.
Irwin was the father in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" film (2000), the father of Cindy Lou Who. Lou Lou Who works as the postman and shows a trapeeze artist's finesse swooshing back and forth on a ladder without knocking himself out on a ceiling beam. Irwin in his earlier film days also played a Shakespearean character Tom Snout, a follower of Kevin Kline's character in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' (1999). Kline led a band of roving actors through the English countryside. When the troupe ends up really having to perform, Irwin's character Tom Snout claws his way to the theater ceiling to escape. He scurries up a ladder frantically only to be yanked down unceremoniously by his fellow actors.
However. Zambello says Irwin as Hawks encapsulates the whole story during the production. The panel addressed skeptics about the mixed cast and also stressed the glorious music including an operatic voice for 'Ol' Man River' and 'Can't Help Lovin Dat Man'. Zambello notes there is some dance for the captain.
Zambello says she and Maestro DeMain have worked together a lot but there's still new material to find whether it's Wagner or Kern.
The production will be sung in English and recorded in high-definition for future release on DVD and Blu-ray. Performances start June 1, 2014 at 2:00 pm and run through July 2 at 7:30 p.m..
Gockley's 'Show Boat on the Nile'
Gockley has taken 'Show Boat' to Egypt where it was referred to as 'Show Boat on the Nile'. Zambello encapsulated the themes involved and how inter-racial marriage was still illegal in many states until 1957, during our lifetime. Empowerment of women plays out in the story too, with a woman who must strike out on her own, has a child and must be self-supporting without a man there.
Zambello noted how Edna Ferber wrote this piece, the book, about race in America from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of World War I. It's also groundbreaking for having a female protagonist who goes out as an abandoned woman and makes a life on her own. She said the logistics show how the country was still divided and that race and class continue to be salient issues in this country. 'Show Boat' originally had a black chorus and a white chorus and the black performers could not have friends and family in the audience.
How the director and captain work out the interpretation of the father and captain's role is a work in progress. Zambello says with a smile there is room for pantomime. Irwin however while known for being a distinguished scholar and side-splitting vaudevillian clown does take on dramatic roles including that of medical doctors and has worked on detective television shows. How he interprets this captain, a family-oriented man with an adult daughter on board, could go any direction.
Heidi Stober plays the captains' daughter Magnolia who was raised on the boat. Stober and Irwin sat side by side at the conference. Heidi talked about how she will be playing guitar on stage although she plays piano in real life. She had an almost humble, calm demeanor, appearing wholesome, modest and articulate.
Maestro DeMain
Maestro John DeMain sat between Francesca Zambello and Heidi Stober, nibbling on his plate of New Orleans themed bites by Chef Dean of the opera house caterer. DeMain conducted the opera's Porgy & Bess. Irwin asked Maestro about the decision to use a non-Kern song in the show, 'Fairwell My Lady Love'. Stober's role starts as a teenager who falls in love. Stober will be dancing to 'Dance Away the Night', which is not always included.
"We are telling the story from Magnolia's point of view" says Maestro.
Maestro notes that Pat Racette will be singing her cabaret style song in a mid range and true to the original, it's not chesty (his term) or too operatic. Racette will be going on from this cameo role to the principal in 'Butterfly' following 'Show Boat'. 'Butterfly' wasn't originally in the summer line-up but fell into that slot for budgetary reasons and ticket sales Gockley said.
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass
Maestro talked about how the banjo is used a lot for effect but that must have amused Gockley, who has played banjo at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.
There is no piano in the show and guitar keeps the rhythm. We have one flute, one oboe, a couple of trombones. We don't have saxophones . . . . There's an acoustical authenticity and if the house weren't a 3500 seat house, he wouldn't use amplification. There won't be much, Zambello noted amplification of the spoken parts. Perhaps the Broadway performers too but as little as possible said Gockley.
Vintage sound, authentic 1927
Maestro says he's using the original 1927 charts and the production has an authentic early Americana sound. Vintage. 'Ol' Man River' has such dignity in the 1927 version, he said. He's just omitting the 1927 overature. However, alluding to the five film versions, "we are doing the 1936 version" with Irene Dunne, not the Ava Gardener version.
Dr. Kip Cranna, formerly of Kip Cam fame, served as emcee for the conference and wore a business suit. Irwin sat in a conservative dark suit with a dark blue shirt and no tie at the other end of the table. Irwin, addressing the question about "Show Boat" being his first foray into opera, asked Kip just how far back he went with San Francisco Opera. Irwin noted this isn't his first time on the San Francisco stage since he appeared in 1978 in "Turandot" as a $25 a night acrobat.
Irwin discussed how the story has Edward Albee moments and how the relationship between the captain and his wife Parthy have an intensity and a complexity, although she's usually right if you track the story through. The scenes are short and they better stay short I know, he said. I get off and change costumes while Morris Robinson sings 'Ol' Man River'.
Parthy Ann Hawks will be played by the woman who played psychiatrist Frasier's agent BeBe Glazer on 'Frasier', Harriet Harris.
Irwin will return to San Francisco in September to perform again with ACT. Most recently he starred in 'Endgame' at ACT. Prior to that, the uproarious French farce 'Scapin' at ACT that was off the Richter scale of comedy.
He's going home he says after 'Show Boat' ends in July. He is married with an adult son, Santos.
San Francisco Opera will host an insight panel with the cast and production team on Monday, June 2 at 6 p.m. in the Concert Hall of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. 50 Oak Street. It's free for opera members or five dollars for the general public.
Tickets to 'Show Boat' cost $24 to $379. Standing room and student rush tickets cost ten dollars cash. On sale at ten a.m. on the day of the performance.
The opera runs two hours, 45 minutes with one intermission. It's a company premiere.

PSYCHOLOGIST Dr Frank Dolphin has been appointed chairman of the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street.
Dr Dolphin was formerly a clinical research psychologist at the hospital. He is currently chairman of Rigney Dolphin Ltd, which provides customer, technical and sales support to clients in the telecoms, retail and semi-State sectors. He established the company in 1990 which employs 900 staff around the country.
Dr Dolphin said the challenge ahead was to ensure the facilities at Temple Street matched the high calibre of the staff. "I believe that we have a world-class staff at the hospital who continue to follow the tradition of delivering the highest-quality healthcare to the children of Ireland with dignity, compassion and respect," he said.

PLEASE gain some perspective on Miami Dolphins draft
Don't let facts get in the way of a good bitchfest.
This is one of those shake my head and wag my finger days because this outpouring of disappointment from Miami Dolphins fans is irresponsible, and flat out wrong.
Those who know me know I'm a straight shooter, and a glass half empty kind a guy, which is why I'm puzzled how I've concluded General Manager Jeff Ireland's off to his best draft and the majority of the Dolphins fans base thinks he's doing a horrible job.
Florida center Mike Pouncey was one of the draft's top 20 talents, filled a glaring need, and if he plays anywhere close to his identical twin the Dolphins should have just added a top 10, if not top 5, center….and an elite puller who can do something nobody else on the present roster can.
Pouncey immediately makes the running game better.
In the second day of the 2011 draft the Dolphins moved up into the second round to select Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas, who I'm told was the third tailback on their draft board, behind Mark Ingram and Ryan Williams. Thomas was universally viewed as a top five running back in this draft class, and he's a top 50 prospects.
To get Thomas at 62 the Dolphins robbed the Redskins, moving up 17 spots (getting into the second round) in a trade that sent Washington a fifth rounder and seventh rounder.
Quick, name the last five fifth rounders this team drafted? Chris Clemons is the only one worth mentioning. Wait, I'll also mention tight end John Nalbone. How did that work out?
According to the trade value points NFL teams go by the Dolphins just made a 21.58 percent GAIN while the Redskins lost 17.75% trade value. Don't believe me, check it for yourself.
So, exactly how was the trade that got the Dolphins Thomas, a potential starter at another position of critical need, a bad idea?
Please gain some perspective Dolphins fans!
You know I'm not one of the media members in Ireland's pocket, so you have no reason to believe I'm trying to slant this thing.
The truth is Ireland and Tony Sparano are off to a pretty good start in their first draft where Big Daddy (Bill Parcells….that's my new name for him) isn't holding their hand.
The draft isn't over folks. The Dolphins still have a fourth round pick (111th), a sixth round pick (179) and two sevenths (218) and (235) to add a couple more pieces.
This team needs to add a quarterback (think veteran), a seam threat tight end (Virgil Green, D.J. Williams, Jordan Cameron, Julius Thomas), a stretch the field receiver, and a hybrid linebacker to develop.
However, not all of that needs to be done in the draft. Please remember free agency should be right around the corner.
I'm co-hosting a WQAM (560AM) show right now (11-1 p.m.) talking about the Dolphins draft.

Don't meow at Penny Wong!
- 32
Thu 2nd Jun, 2011 in Local News
One of the most powerful women in the Senate won't put up with any sexist catcalls.
Finance Minister – and out lesbian Same Same 25er – Penny Wong just wanted a bit of quiet when speaking in a heated debate last night.
Her stern look earned a "meow" response from Tasmanian Senator David Bushby, which he immediately regretted.
"Oh yes, why don't you meow when a woman does that?" Wong fired back. "That's a good idea.
"Just extraordinary. The blokes are allowed to yell, but if a woman stands her ground, you want to make that kind of comment. It's sort of schoolyard politics, mate."
Take a look at the footage below. Well done Penny!

|December 2012 Newsletter
Dear Friends,
As supporters of the Rachel Elizabeth Barton (REB) Foundation, you are on the forefront of addressing the missing link between talented young string players and their ability to achieve their dreams.
Now in our 11th year, we have some amazing success stories to share, as many of our recipients have transitioned from talented students to young artists on the brink of their careers to becoming fully established professional string players.
One of our first Instrument Loan Program recipients, Eric Nowlin, received the use of a 1700 Gofriller viola in 2004. An instrument of this quality allowed him to fully express his artistry, leading to his receiving Second Prize in the prestigious 2006 Naumburg Competition. He subsequently won the position as Associate Principal Violist with the Toronto Symphony, giving him a steady income which enabled him to purchase a high-quality viola of his own. In addition to playing in the symphony, Eric is also on the faculty of the University of Toronto and is the violist of the New Orford String Quartet, one of the most acclaimed young ensembles in Canada. We are proud to have played an important role in helping to launch Eric's exciting career.
Eric's relationship with the REB Foundation continues ... as one of our generous patrons! The modern viola that Eric played during his college years is on loan through the REB Foundation to Bora Kim, a talented teenage violist. We look forward to watching Bora's career as she continues to grow and develop.
The 1700 Gofriller viola that Eric once played is now on loan to Matthew Lipman, one of the most gifted young violists of his generation. Only 20 years old, Matthew already has a biography filled with awards and performances that would be impressive for someone twice his age. In 2012 alone, he won First Prize at the Washington International Competition, Stulberg International Competition, Juilliard Concerto Competition, and the First and Grand Prize at the 2012 WAMSO Young Artist Competition. Matthew has soloed with numerous orchestras and has performed at Ravinia, Music@Menlo, and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. He also appears as a guest artist on Itzhak Perlman's new album "Eternal Echoes.
Matthew's background is an unlikely one for such an accomplished young artist. He grew up on the far south side of the Chicagoland area and began viola lessons in public school in the fourth grade. His talent and hard work quickly caught the attention of the music world and led to scholarships for his lessons. Matthew's father currently works part-time for minimum wage and his mother is dealing with serious health issues. In addition to being supported by the REB Foundation's Instrument Loan Program, Matthew has also been a recipient of our Grants for Education and Career, which helps him with costs that neither his family nor his scholarships could cover. Some of these expenses have included instrument maintenance, airfare to concerts and competitions, sheet music purchase, and audition recording sessions.
There are so many more stories to share: violinist Karla Donehew-Perez is currently playing in the Catalyst Quartet; violinist Joanna Frankel is the new concertmaster of the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra in Durban, South Africa; double bassist Henry Chen joined the faculty of Ball State University... the list goes on. Thanks to our generous supporters, the REB Foundation has helped so many young artists. With your help, we look forward to continuing our important work for many years to come.
The number of applications we receive from deserving young string players increases every year. That's why we're counting on your generosity now more than ever. Donations to a worthy cause can be the perfect gift for your loved ones. As you consider your year-end charitable giving, please remember the Rachel Elizabeth Barton Foundation, which is enhancing the lives of so many young musicians. The future of classical music depends on supporting talented students and young professional musicians during the early, formative years of their development. With your help, these young artists will inspire the next generations as they provide the world with many years of beautiful music. Your gift is truly the gift of a lifetime.
Rachel Barton Pine, President
P.S. You may direct your gift either to our general fund or to one of our specific programs. Please let us hear from you by December 31st. Thank you. . . and best wishes for healthy and happy holidays!

UConn women's basketball loss is good for women's basketball
Finally. Somebody slayed the dragon that is UConn women's basketball.
At least, that's the perception. UConn's iconic win streak earlier this season raised some interesting debate around the country this year as to whether their impressive consecutive win streak was good or bad for women's basketball. Apparently too much winning is bad for women. However, I wonder if the conversation would be the same if we were talking about the dynasties of the Pittsburgh Steelers or New England Patriots.
In any event, for those who believe UConn's dominance has been bad for the women's game, Notre Dame's upset of No. 1 seed UConn should come as some solace. Adding to that, No. 1 seed Stanford also fell to Texas A&M and for the first time since 1994 there will be no top seeds in the Women's National Title game.
