Two Portage men die in Colorado avalanche
Two men from Portage were killed in a Colorado avalanche while skiing over the weekend.
Justin Lentz, 32, and Jarrad Law died when they and five other skiers were swept away by an avalanche late Saturday afternoon, friends and family told Madison television station WISC-TV (Channel 3.)
The avalanche occurred at an elevation of about 11,000 feet near Independence Pass, roughly 120 miles southwest of Denver.
The two skiers were found at the top of the avalanche, said Susan Matthews, spokeswoman for the Lake County Office of Emergency Management.
"The skiers were equipped with avalanche beacons, which assisted search and rescue crews in locating them," she said.
She said authorities believe the seven skiers triggered the slide. Officials found the bodies of Lentz and Law Sunday afternoon but did not release their names.
One of Lentz's family members told WISC-TV that the family was notified Saturday night. Lentz was a Portage High School graduate who was in Colorado on a skiing trip. A friend said Law had worked at Cascade Mountain and was an avid skier.
Authorities said two members of the group were buried but were uninjured and able to get out, while three others were injured. One of the injured skiers suffered broken ribs and a lacerated kidney, another had a broken ankle and the third was treated and released, Matthews said.
The avalanche occurred in an area with treacherous and steep conditions, Matthews said.
Another Wisconsinite was killed in a Colorado avalanche last week. A Berlin man was killed Feb. 10 when he was buried in an avalanche near Crested Butte, while snowmobiling with two other Wisconsin men.
Crested Butte Police reported Joshua Lesniak, 26, was snowmobiling in the Gunnison National Forest with Ian McCullough, 28, of Omro and Andrew Busse, 34, of Berlin when the avalanche occurred. Lesniak and McCullough were both trapped in the 600-foot-wide slide. Busse was not caught it the avalanche.
McCullough was able to dig his way out, but Lesniak was buried under 15 to 20 feet of snow. Lesniak was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and playing in mud with his off-road truck "Sammy," according to an obituary published Friday in the Oshkosh Northwestern.
Heavy snowfall and strong winds have created a historic avalanche cycle in the Colorado high country, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center said in an advisory.
Six people died in avalanches in the western United States earlier this month, according to the avalanche center. Two people were killed in two slides in Utah; Lesniak and a skier were killed in separate slides in Colorado last week; and two cross-country skiers died in an avalanche in eastern Oregon.
Including the skiers killed on Saturday, 14 people have been killed by avalanches in the United States this winter.

(93% cabernet sauvignon, 4% merlot and 3% petit verdot) Medium ruby. Cool, pure aromas of cassis, licorice and violet. Juicy, dry and lively, with excellent flavor intensity and enticing floral lift. I would have guessed this had some cabernet franc. Quite tightly wound after the bottling, and currently showing its tannic side. But this will almost certainly merit a higher rating with four or five years of additional bottle aging. In this vintage, Les Behrens used a mechanical punchdown tank for the Kenefick Ranch cabernet sauvignon-an approach that was used for more wines in 2004.

I am encouraged to stay in the murkiness of being alien by my writers. Anne Lamott says, "Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are."
Romantic getaways are a bit different for us. We are seekers at our cores, Mike intellectually and me spiritually. We like to learn new things together. I'm sure I married the right man because who else would agree to go to a mindfulness retreat with me for our one weekend away from the kids?
Feeling it is what we don't do as a culture. In fact, we do anything to avoid feeling it that we can think of - numbing, avoiding, scrolling, controlling are our preferences. One of the books we used this weekend was The Mindful Way Through Anxiety by Susan M. Orsillo and Lizabeth Roemer. In it there is a poem by Rumi that we closed with:
Is there a solution to something that seems as inherent in humans as it is in flocks of chickens? Is it possible to deny our nature and choose something harder and often unrewarded? I suppose I believe it is. It is why I take my children to church every Sunday. It is why their father, who does not go to church, passes onto them a moral code that is stronger than those of many religious people.
Is there anything as hopeful as new beginnings? The notion of starting over, but with the wisdom of experience? I don't know it if there is. I LOVE New Year's and Easter because I feel like I get another shot at the thing.
This past fall has been full of some of the best workshops and retreats The Homestead has offered yet. Marion Sansing packed the kitchen with her Whole Foods Retreats in September. Glennon Doyle Melton made us yearn for our authentic selves in the Breaking Open Retreat in October. And in November fifty folks came out and looked at the night sky in Backyard Astronomy, and Mike and I enjoyed fifteen couples who were ready to put sincere efforts into their most precious possession - each other.
Our culture is stacked against parents who want to raise healthy kids. Here's how to become a health rebel.
Mike and I moved off and finished graduate school, had two kids, moved home, and had another child. Profession took over Mike's life and motherhood took over mine. Did we still love each other? Yes. After three kids' worth of dirty diapers, stressful work, and a few life crises later, were we in love? Not so much.

Avalon Theatre looks to future with auction of vintage gear
Bay View residents may be having dinner and a movie flanked by gaudy vaudeville architecture and twinkling lights on the ceiling of the historic Avalon Theatre by Thanksgiving, said Lee Barczak, the Avalon's owner, at a news conference Friday.
An online auction of vintage theater items this week, including a wall-sized hand-painted Spanish mural and original seating from the theater's vaudeville days, is paving the way for $2 million in renovations, Barczak said. The renovations will transform the space, which at one time had a seating permit for up to 2,300 people, into two modern theaters with 240 and 80 seats, respectively, and in-theater dinner and bar service, while leaving vaudevillian facades of the original Avalon intact. Renovations could start in a month and a half after bids are finalized and awarded. A rendering could be ready in two months. »Read Full Article(8)

Etheridge's voice adds spice to musical comfort food
Melissa Etheridge has definitely had an interesting life: coming out, becoming a mother, recovering from breast cancer. Saturday night at the Riverside Theater, she mentioned being cancer-free for nine years, but her performance was almost entirely informed by being a girl from Kansas who was raised on classic rock, rather than by her later experiences.
Playing for more than two hours, Etheridge clearly wanted her show to be as much about the music as possible. She touched on pretty much every minor and major hit, and the resulting set was like a huge meal of ham and eggs, burgers and fries or any other basic meat-and-potatoes combination. »Read Full Article(5)

Just wondering what the dynamic are...My family is very close knit. I have siblings who live in London, NY and Belgium and i talked to them everyday. I see my parents once a week and pretty much talk to my family A LOT. DH is the opposite. Also I come from a family were everyone loves to travel and have been exposed to other cultures and also have a lot of degree. He is the total opposite. DH did not start traveling until we started dating and he comes from one of those families were the kids were on their own when they turned 16 or so. He talks to his parents and brother maybe once a month or so.They are not that close and he seems to be now closer to my side of the family. I know our children will spend a lot more time with my side of the family and he has said our kids can't stay at his mothers because she smokes and she was not happy about that. Are you close to your family? Is your husband close to his?
Difference between your family and DH family
My family is not close at all. Lots of emotional/religious abuse from my parents growing up, who are now kind of separated I think. Haven't talked to my siblings in a year or my father (he does some shady stuff and I don't like it). I actually sent a FB message to my family announcing our move and asking if they wanted to see us before we move 15 hours away and I got no response. And I know my siblings have been on b/c they have done status updates. I will probably not bother telling them about the baby. My mother I see on occaision but she is mentally ill and won't admit it, so it is hard for me to be around her. It is sad.
DH's family is close and see each other at least every few weeks. When I met him, I couldn't believe how "normal" his family was. He just has normal parents who care about him and offer advice and talk about their hobbies and stuff. It's great to have them but my MIL and I are very different and she has a strong personality (see my MIL gender rant post) so it's def. not a sub for a real mom.
My parents live about 1 mile away, his about 5. He hates his sister, doesn't really likehis mom and tolerates his dad. He has actually said to me he wishes my family was his. His parents have seen our son 3 times (3 times too many in my opinion) and his sister has never seen him. She still tells everyone our son isn't my husband's, and that I cheated on him, which never happened and our son is a spitting image of my husband! I havent spoken to them in over 5 years.
My parents would do anything for us and love my husband like he is their own son. They are great grandparents and love my son to pieces! They even offered to take him to AZ for a week so I could have a break from motherhood! (My husband just recently got back from a year in Afghanistan so I was practically a single mom for a year)

Throughout this course you're going to see me doing a lot of things with big external flashes, and you might end up thinking. Well, since you got all those flashes, you probably never use the pop-up flash on your camera. And that's not true. The built-in flash on your camera can be very, very useful. Here's the pop-up flash on this 7D. It pops up as you just saw, as opposed to being one that's built in. I use it a lot, as you're going to see in the next chapter for fill flash. This can really be a lifesaver, and I know I have it with me if it's built into my camera. I don't always carry external flashes with me, so in a pinch a pop-up flash really can be the difference between a good picture or a bad picture.
I said in a pinch, and that's not fair. A pop-up flash simply can be the difference between a good picture and a bad picture. That said, you gotta be careful with them. There are some things to know about them, because they can cause troubles if you're not paying attention to, to certain things. First of all, a pop up flash has a very short range. This flash probably has a range of maybe ten to 12 feet. That range is going to be shorter if I'm using a smaller aperture. Anything outside of that the flash isn't going to do me any good. There is no reason to even use it.
I live in San Francisco, and if you have never been there. There is a big mountain in the middle of the town called Twin Peaks, and it's a great spot to get a view of the entire bay area. It always cracks me up when I look up on Twin Peaks and I see little flashes going off. People have this idea that their little pop-up flash is lighting up the entire city of San Francisco, it doesn't work that way. So, you don't need to be worrying about your pop-up flash if you're shooting something beyond ten or 12 feet. Your manual will tell you the actual range of your flash. A pop-up flash makes your subject, if you're shooting people, more prone to having red eye.
That's that demonic, crazed look that some people get when they have a flash fired into their eyes. Other people just have it all the time. The reason you get bad red eye from a pop-up flash has to do with the angle of the flashlight. If the camera lens or your eyes, the problem that I'm having here is my flash is so close to the lens that the flash comes out, bounces off the back of the retina and comes almost entirely or almost straight back into the lens. The back of your retina is red, and so it shows up really red.
If you've ever shot a dog and gotten really weird blue eyes, that's because the back of their retina's is blue, I guess. I don't know that for sure, I'm just assuming that's why it happens. But I said it with authority, right? So that counts for something. Anyway, so red eye is a problem with a pop-up flash. There are ways of reducing red eye with special modes on your camera that will fire tiny little pre-flashes that cause dog's irises to iris down, and most people's. So that's another problem with pop-up flash. The positioning of the flash isn't great for shooting people.
It's great for fill light, it's great if all you need to do is fill in some little shadows. And we're going to see how to do that. But it's not a real flattering light if it's the only light that you have. And that's again, because of the positioning. If I'm shooting you, I'm taking a flash and putting it right in front of you. I am shining it directly at your face. That's not the type of light that we are used to seeing. We're used to light coming from overhead. Even when we're in-doors, the lights are up high. Our entire visual system is kind of built around these gestalts of light from coming above. So, shining a light directly into someone's face is just not what we are used to seeing.
It looks like well, it looks like a tiny little pop up flash has been fired at them. Finally, because again, of the positioning of the flash, you may have a problem if you're using a long lens or a lens with a lens hood on it. And that problem is going to be that the flash will actually, or the lens will cast a shadow into your scene. I'm just going to grab a quick shot here, I'm shooting with a, I'm shooting at 35 millimeters, this is a 24 to a 105. I'm shooting at 35 millimeters. It's a kind of a wide angle. And when I take my flash shot, if you look here in the foreground, you see there's this big, semi circular shadow. That's the end of my lens there.
It might be the lens hood, so I'm going to take that off with great ease there. And shoot it again and see if that solves the problem. Trying to stay at the same focal length here. I'm just in program mode, I am just shooting fully automatically here. And that did it, that took the shadow out. If it didn't, if I was using a really long lens like here's a, at 105 millimeters. I may get that shadow back. no, fortunately I didn't, the type field of view cropped it out. But if you're finding that you can't get rid of it, then, then you can't get rid of it.
You, you're just stuck because the flash is stuck on top of the camera. At that point, you would either need to crop it out of your frame in post production or not use a flash. Go to a higher ISO if you're in low light, or get an external flash. So, those are some caveats. Again, I don't want you, I don't want to scare you away from pop-up flash. It, again, can be a real life saver. It's something you need to know how to use well. If it's, I'm trapped in this lens hood here. It's something you need to know how to use well, because it can be a real critical tool. But look for shadows, look for red eye and pay attention to the positioning when you're shooting portraits.
You want to a subtle look, and we're going to see how to get that as we move forward through the course.
Fortunately, it isn't difficult to get great results from flash, and in this course, photographer, author, and teacher Ben Long details the concepts and techniques behind effective lighting with flash. Ben starts with fundamentals that build on exposure principles taught in other installments of Foundations of Photography—simple techniques that improve the results from a camera's built-in flash. He then focuses on fill flash techniques and on using flash as a key light. The course also explores topics ranging from bouncing and syncing flash to shooting with one or more off-camera flash units.

As long as the car had four wheels, a healthy stereo and could carry me from Point A to Point B, I was a satisfied teenager. I lived for that 7:57 a.m. arrival in my Ford. No matter what temperature, the air would carry my blaring tunes out my rolled down windows into the sleepy, high school parking lot. The high point of my day was over the moment I pulled into my spot, ran into class and began classes.

In Pictures: 2012's 25 geekiest 25th anniversaries
Here's a look back at the most memorable events and products from 1987
Here's a look back at the most memorable events and products from 1987
Apple unveiled an updated MacBook line, more Mountain Lion features, iOS 6, and a smarter Siri. Here are some photos and recaps of Monday's WWDC keynote.
Think you have to manage a lot of IT gear? These massive facilities - each at least 100,000 square feet and most much larger than that -- house thousands of servers and process millions of documents, images and videos every day.
Apple rolled out major upgrades for both of its main notebooks today at WWDC. Here's a quick look at the new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.
A look at the Father of Computer Science's media portrayals upon the celebration of his birth 100 years ago
With more and more companies storing more and more data and hoping to leverage it for actionable insights, Big Data is making a big splash these days. Open source technology is at the core of most Big Data initiatives. Here are nine key open source Big Data technologies to keep an eye on.
Windows 8 is hot, the devices are strange, and the experimentation is cool
Even though we're all walking around with computers in our pockets (a.k.a. smartphones) there's still lots of uses for even more and even smaller computers.
A look at the history of remote controls, some of the coolest remotes out now, and what's ahead for changing the channels on your TV.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It is a really big political deal when the Liberal newspaper of record in Washington, DC, again has no choice but to call President Barack Obama a really big liar. The Post did not just admonish Obama and his campaign staff for more lies, the hallmark and foundation of the Obama Presidency and White House, but The Washington Post gave Barack Obama "Four Pinocchios," its maximum designation for dishonesty.
The character of our leaders matters a great deal. Good honorable people make good honorable leaders.
Character is what matters and character is what is missing from many of our elected politicians and from many of our fellow citizens. One of our resolutions for 2012 and beyond should be to insure that those who are elected to serve us in public office be men and women of impeccable character and solid integrity.
The Washington Post has again taken President Barack Obama to task for Obama's excessive dishonesty directed toward the American people.
The Washington Post has come out and named Obama for what he is. Glenn Kessler does a great job pointing out that Obama gave a "phony accounting on the auto industry bailout." Kessler awarded Obama "Three Pinocchios," which results from some significant fibbing that rises to a level of significant concern.

Don't wait for a party to enjoy shrimp cocktail
My favorite thing about fancy parties? They almost always include a shrimp cocktail appetizer -- platters of giant, plump shrimp just waiting to be dunked into a piquant cocktail sauce.
But there's no reason you have to wait for fancy parties to enjoy this treat. All you need is an excuse. And to me, there's none better than an Oscar viewing party.
Best yet, shrimp cocktail is easy to make, can be done in advance, and you don't even have to cook the shrimp yourself (but it is better if you do).
My preference is for large or jumbo shrimp, generally classified as 10 to 15 shrimp per pound. Large usually come in at 15 to 30 per pound.
The best shrimp are flash frozen within hours of being caught. This preserves the flavor and texture of the shrimp. Keep the shrimp frozen until just before you want to serve or cook them. When you are ready, thaw the shrimp under cold running water. This is essential to preserving the texture of the shrimp.
For shrimp cocktail, I cook the shrimp by a method that is closer to poaching. I want the shrimp to be fully cooked, but not overcooked, and this is my fail-safe method. I boil a big pot of salted water and add fresh lemons just before adding the thawed shrimp. As soon as the shrimp are added, the lid goes on the pot and the heat is turned off until the shrimp are cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes for most jumbo shrimp.
Once the shrimp are cooked, I dunk them in cold water to stop the cooking. You know when shrimp are perfectly cooked when the shells come off easily. The shells tend to stick to overcooked shrimp.

Thanks again guys.
This is not a direct career move, no, but I know if it goes well it will be quite a thing to polish the resume with and stand out among the crowd.
It's also a major stepping out of my comfort zone. I saw an opportunity, created the opening and stepped in. Now is the hard part, lol.
Very, very cool. Congratulations!
Awesome Carl. I hope you have lots of success with your new show.
There's a geranium? FML. This is why I come to the experts. You made a good career choice, at least, you certainly have a face for radio.
Woohoo! That's our Carl. He's a star. :)
Fantastic. Bravo.
Yeah, hi. Love your show. Long time listener, first time caller. I have a question about citronella. What should I look for when buying a plant?

Canadian crooner Michael Buble and Montreal-based songwriter Jennifer Gasoi each picked up a Grammy at the pre-telecast Sunday.
Buble picked up his fourth trophy in the best traditional pop vocal album category for "To Be Loved." The album has been certified twice platinumin Canada and gold in the U.S.
The 38-year-old has been nominated in this category with each of his past five albums and has won it four times. He wasn't there Sunday to claim his award.
Gasoi picked up first Grammy, proclaiming herself the first Canadian to ever win for best children's album.
The two-time Juno Award nominee claimed the prize for ``Throw a Penny in the Wishing Well'' at a pre-telecast ceremony Sunday at which 72 trophies total were to be handed out ahead of the evening broadcast at the Staples Center.
"Oh my God. I've dreamt of this day for 20 years. It's on my vision board,'' said Gasoi, whose jazz-based tunes are intended to appeal to tots and adults alike.
"It's about living your dreams, having the courage to step out of the box and take risks and live the life that you're really meant to live. And I feel very proud to be doing that and I am grateful and honoured and blessed to be standing here before you.''
Going into the show, Jay Z led with nine nominations, while Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams were next with seven.
Toronto's Drake led the Canadian nominations with five.

In December 2015, Nora and I were able to be together with our five children and their families for the first time since 2011. We are so thankful!
- Roseti, Romania Church Update Outstretched Hands (OH) of Romania planted the Roseti Church in 2009. We first started our activities in Roseti by gathering children to teach the Bible and this opened the door for us to work with their parents. Roseti is an important Church Plant for us because it is the only church we have that is east of Calarasi. The Roseti Church is a strategic church in building the Kingdom of God in that direction. We did a Childrens Evangelistic Tent event in Borcea last week, a village just past Roseti. We averaged 140 children each day plus adults. People are very open to Jesus in that area and we are called to reach them with the Love of Jesus Christ. Enjoy this months report and photos about Roseti ministry and know that together with your help, Outstretched Hands of Romania is making a difference here in Romania. We need your help in Roseti . . . the "door" to the east. God bless you! Brad Hayes

A 2002 Hyundai Accent valued at $5,000 was reported stolen from its owner's home on Athens' west side between 10 p.m. Monday and 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The car was gray and bore Georgia tag PFT1840, police said.
The location of the reported theft was blacked out of a police incident report because the victim was listed as an employee of the University of Georgia.
A home on Jefferson Road was burglarized between 8 p.m. Sunday and 7:20 p.m. Monday. Clothes washers, dryers and a scooter valued at $620 were stolen, Athens-Clarke County police said.
Thurston Cardelle Grimsley, 29, was arrested early Tuesday morning after he allegedly beat up his girlfriend at their home at Athens Gardens, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The victim said she was asleep when Grimsley grabbed her by the hair, pulled her from the bed and dragged her across the floor, according to police. He reportedly punched her in the face repeatedly.
Two toddlers witnessed the assault, one of whom was Grimsley's, police said.
Richard Wade Cade, 49, of Berry Drive, was arrested early Tuesday morning for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend after accusing her of cheating on him, Athens-Clarke County police said.
During a dispute at the victim's home at Bethel Midtown Village, he allegedly grabbed the victim by the hair, slapped her and broke her cellphone, according to police.
Cade was charged with simple battery and criminal damage to property.
An Athens man reported he was robbed at gunpoint Monday evening by a man from whom he thought he was buying laptop computers, Athens-Clarke County police said.
After speaking with the suspect throughout the day, police said, the victim agreed to meet with him at the Varsity on West Broad Street to buy two laptops for $1,000.
The supposed seller did not bring the computers. He did brandish a handgun, rob the victim of his money and flee in a car driven by a woman, according to police.
The victim identified the robber as a 32-year-old Monroe resident, police said.
An Athens man was struck in the forehead with a hammer and threatened with a knife early Tuesday morning when he tried to break up a fight between two other men at a home on Highland Park Drive, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The victim was taken by friends to the hospital, where the assault was reported, police said.
Jose Antonio Valdes, 26, who resided at the home where the altercation occurred, was later arrested after a traffic stop.
Police charged him with aggravated assault, battery and driving on a suspended license.
NEW YORK — Last Thanksgiving Day, Kimberly Mudge Via's mother, sister and nieces left in the middle of their meals to head for the mall.
The home of a well-known Athens businessman was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning in Madison County. The house belonging to Frank Eberhart sat at the same spot on Horace Elnut Circle as his previous home, which also was destroyed by fire in 2004.

I enjoy looking back at lopsided trades—they are some of my favorite stories to read. However, there are only so many of them, and only so many of them are crooked to the point of comedy. So, I decided to look forward for new material.
It may be too early to proclaim some of these steals, but that won't stop me. I don't claim to have covered everything, but I do think I have some pretty good examples.
So, I present: The Most Lopsided MLB Trades in the Last Five Years (in no particular order).

Incidentally, I introduced another Scorpio I know to this site last night. He got all excited. I...did not so much.
This year promises so much acclaim in your career! You will see the truth of this on March 3, when Jupiter (good fortune), now in your fame and achievement sector, receives a rare aspect from Uranus, planet of surprise, in your workaday project sector. When news comes, it will arrive quickly and be completely unexpected, arriving like a lightning bolt! Expect a generous reward for all the superior performance you've put in. The harder and smarter you worked, the bigger your reward will be now.
Not only did this not happen, I am in the doghouse. Uh...NOPE.
I did see an offer for free career counseling that day and e-mailed about that, but we'll see.
A few days later, March 10, Mars will send glittering beams to Jupiter from your assignment house, so clearly the work you've done and work you will be assigned in March will lead you up the ladder of success. August will be another big month for career news, so keep putting the pedal to the metal so you can rack up victories before Jupiter departs to Virgo, August 11. Once good fortune Jupiter leaves your career sector on that date, he will not be back for twelve years. While you will continue to climb the ladder of success, you won't have the glittering conditions you do now - make the most of them.
Against all this, in the background, a golden triangle
To quote the Scorpio buddy: "a golden triangle? Really?" "I don't think so," I said. "Probably a metaphor."
will appear in the heavens in March, linking your work projects (which should be quite divine now), your reputation and status (which is climbing by the minute), AND your earned income. Although employers seem to be tight fisted and unwilling to part with generous salaries, this month you seem to be persuasive enough to get your due. You can show VIPs that a lesser talent would not be able to fulfill the vast requirements of the position in the way you can do. Paying you more, in the big picture, would actually save the company money, for paying people who can't produce would be throwing money away. Even if the lower paid workers can produce, it would take an inexperienced person double the time to get the work done. This month you appear to be on top of your game and in line for the top job AND the right salary.
That would be nice, but I will not hold my breath.
You may encounter only one day that may give you pause - March 15 - when Pluto, your ruler, will be in sharp odds with Uranus. A writing assignment or contract you are drafting for a client or proposed partner may not bring accord, so avoid this day and stay to yourself.
Which I can probably do very nicely on a Sunday. Though I'm still trying to figure out how one avoids an entire DAY.
Pluto's involvement suggests others will use their power and authority to get their way, and Uranus' involvement will bring an unexpected twist, but not necessarily the one you want. You'll have to stay on your toes on March 15, and even if you hide under the bed, aspects like this have a way of finding you. You are shrewd and resourceful, so stay confident. If anyone can handle a difficult person, it's you.
So if difficult aspects find me under the bed, how can I avoid them?
You need a fun social life, and the universe agrees. Send your RSVP to a party you may be invited to or a friend's offer to gather up the gang for a great dinner within four days of the full moon in Virgo, March 5.
Okay, THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING on the 7th. With RSVP and everything. Dinner and dancing. Woot! So something worked out!
Alternatively, you may be attending a friend's wedding, and if so, you must go! Saturn will support this full moon, so among the people you meet, you may make a friend that will remain in your life a very long time.
That would be nice.
Group and community activities are also favored in the first ten days of March, so if you plan to give a charity event or help a humanitarian cause that you feel strongly about, as a committee chairman, give it all you have to give, for it will be quite a success.
*shrug* Don't really feel strongly about any charity.
An even bigger event is about to take place in your love life, with the solar eclipse, March 20. This will be a new moon on steroids, powerful and giving, and could help you find your one true love, or draw you closer to someone you've been dating. Neptune will fall close to this new moon, showering it with inspiration. Neptune will be beautifully angled to Jupiter and Saturn, giving you a sense of security and have you enthusiastic about your future together. If you are coupled up and hope for a baby, this same new moon could summon the stork.
Scorpio pal was excited about this. But I'm me.
Everything about this eclipse will be positive. Even at work, you may be approved for a highly creative project that allows you to show off the full range of your talents. (Your fifth house of love and children also governs your creativity, as this house covers the birth of all new forms.) Committed couples will find their relationship proceeds smoothly, as Venus will enter your relationship / marriage house on March 17 to stay until April 11, and this month send sweet vibrations to Neptune in romantic Pisces.

That was interesting (Washington Post).
"I don't think you are unlucky in love--I feel you have had hard aspects. You have hosted Saturn opposed to your Sun since October 2012, considered one of the hardest aspects possible and on top of that you have had a series of eclipess in Taurus-Scorpio which added even more stress. Wow, that's difficult. By not being involved with anyone lately, you may have dodged a bullet, because relationships could have been quite a concern. Your health may have suffered too. Saturn is moving to Sagittarius on December 23! Hooray! Be sure to read my December forecast on Astrology Zone and you will be dancing on the tables! Next year, after August 11 and continuing to September 2016, Taurus will be the most favored sign for love! Have faith! Love is coming!"
Hah, probably not for me....
"Hi Susan, good to know that your new med is working and hope you will be back to normal by 100% very soon. I am a Taurean female born on 24th April, out of work since 2009, struck with Cancer last year, finished with treatment & back to normal and need to get back to work. No luck so far, although attending interviews. When would a Taurus gets a good vibe from cosmos in relation with job front. Thank you in advance.A: Susan Miller
Today, Mars goes into Aquarius, perfect for you to find a job. You will have two new moons, the first, January 20, to help you! the second new moon (new moons bring opportunity) on February 18 isn't as well aspected, but nevertheless may help you. Plan to get a job soon because no special aspects will come after that. Take anything, but start working. The digital world, social media, the natural and social sciences, not for profit, or political work for a candidate would all be good areas to try."
And that's my birthday....

Both of these just make me cringe. Not just for the typos either. (Seriously, dude, proofread. Looks bad when you can't spell planet names right.)
Nobody's saying you're about to
inherit fifty mil by your
late Uncle fred, But...
an eighth house lunation cycle
with a fourth house Jupter
is a damned good indiciation
that you get more support from
the family than you expect.
The sring attached:
that you are not now
in total control
getting basic needs met.
Turning to others
for financial help
may be humbling,
but it will give you
the security
you need right now.
You probably have to wonder
how you're going to pull off
even a smile
when you're all alone in your room,
thinking about everything.
You're not actually thinking then;
You're obsessing
about everything
from your looks, to your work, love life
How amazing, though,
The minute you walks out hte door,
you're on stage,
the lights go up, the music plays
and it's show time
with a hundred and three Rockettes
kicking up their legs behind you.
This is why can still bring in the gold,
The secret:
Dont stay home alone.
Ughhhhhhh. I am in a phase (possibly a permanent phase) of "fuck other people, leave me alone," so this is very unappealing. I get drained enough by my "must be on f0r 9 hours straight, people swarming and bugging me and having to SMILE" job as is. And this is the time of year where everyone is all "Family, family! The people that love you and need you!" and my relatives in this state....aren't really like that about me. Ugh. The hypocrisy. And my shrink was all, "Yeah, it's really disturbing that you think that being alone at the holidays watching tv sounds like a good time..." (okay, not phrased like that).

"Did you consider scrapping September and getting well?
My publicist Edward said I should. I had the summaries already written. But I knew the kind of letters I'd get, My birthday is in September and you didn't do a full September. I said no, they'd be too disappointed. I never want to let them down.
It seems like some of the backlash is a testament to how dependent your readers are on you.
I never wanted them to be dependent. People go through stages. Libra, Scorpio, Taurus are very beat-up right now. I remember in 2009, I saw stress coming for me. I broke my leg on that hill at Equinox on 63rd Street (sneakers, wet marble, no signs). I went flying. I broke my thigh bone. Then, later in the year, I had trouble with my eyes. But I knew that year was going to be bad, and I wondered if I would live through it. So I want them to know in advance so they won't be blindsided. It's just this year. We have an eclipse on April 4, 2015, but each eclipse is tied with the eclipse prior. Last eclipse I got sick, so maybe this one I could get rid of the steroids."
Also, stop freaking out at her.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Though there may be a ton of talkative back-and-forth whirring through your immediate social environment (which I hope you are playing your participatory part in), Taurus, it cannot begin to take into account the much more promising developments just now awakening inside you. Like a modest hole-in-the-ground which vents steam from down-below, a barely-revealing sign of the major geological workings transpiring beneath the surface, you're only giving off the faintest traces of what's germinating inside you… in part because it hasn't yet sprouted sufficiently enough for even you to know how to articulate it, and in part because the stuff that everybody else is gabbing about only superficially addresses (if at all) what you believe really matters. This combination of factors holds the potential of causing you problems, alas, if you don't continue following last week's guidance about not being so serious: You're caught between (1) being able to identify what 'falls short' in others' tales and (2) being unable to synthesize your critiques into coherent arguments while situated in a not especially-opportune moment to disrupt the cursory pleasantness. Please know your problematic potential is only heightened by Mars's arrival in your 7th this week… a placement likely to stir greater-than-usual interpersonal discontent or conflict such that, even when you're 'nice', you might rub others wrong in the weeks to come. But from the inside looking out, at least, your future's feeling pretty bright.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Things are about to pop off around this place! Planets are moving into new places that are power-positions for you, Scorpio! Last week, the great-expander Jupiter arrived to your solar 10th (the career/public-achievement house) to stay through mid-next-year… and now this week (on Fri Jul 25), your ruling action-dude Mars finally makes his way out of the 12th-house muddle and back home to your sign, where he remains for the next seven weeks. Both developments together radically alter your interface with the outside world: Expect 'under the radar' or 'behind the scenes' to give way to your suddenly attracting a whole lot more attention, the good and the less-favorable. And of course, this won't happen merely as a passive matter-of-circumstance, but because you are suddenly ready to step in and step up, move forward and never look back (though it only appears 'sudden' to the rest of us, when in fact you've been building up to this moment for months). As this latest power-chapter now kicks off, your first few noticeably significant steps could come off somewhat overeager, uppity, and/or abrasive—though, that said, I'm not certain you therefore ought to moderate yourself. (After all this biding-your-time, you justifiably may not give a fuck.) All in all, though, this period between now and mid-September is your prime 2014 moment to really get things going across all sectors of your life. Thanks to Saturn, there will be significant consequences, good and/or less-favorable, based on how purposefully or pointlessly you use this time.

If you have been on lockdown, shutdown and generally collapsed,
you've still miraculously been able to show
some swagger and pull off some semblance of being present.
Now is the moment to begin coming out of that
cocoon you have been in. Nobody with half a brain
would ever minimize the traumas you have been enduring.
Then, too, because you are always so successful
at making such a giant effort to conceal your fragility,
they all think you are breezing through it.
Emerge now.
It's got to be exhausting
to be constantly on stage,
tap dancing in a ceaseless effort
to prove that you are fine,
great, on top of the situation.
When you are alone in your room, however,
only then can you admit
that you actually feel absolutely totally shitty.
Especially when the pressure is on
from relatives and neighbors,
you are pushed to keep moving
when you so dearly need rest.
Once again here you are
facing another test of endurance,
where you are asked to continue
to cope with the problems and issues
of neighbors and relatives
from near and far,
while trying to heal yourself
from the inside out
without anybody guessing.

I'm not gonna repeat the Taurus one because I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to get out of that other than "stay the course, yawn," but the Scorpio one was interesting:
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Be very skeptical about the seemingly self-evident reaching of 'last-straw' moments, Scorpio, which would inspire you to claim you can't take it anymore (whatever 'it' might be) and/or otherwise lean toward actions that express a fed-up lack of continuing patience. Whether or not this really is such a moment remains to be seen. But of course, should you actually assent to 'remaining to see' what this critical point turns out to represent in the longer-term, chances are you'll regain enough responsible wherewithal not to conduct yourself in that 'to-hell-with-it' manner which threatens to create the type of 'last straw' you claim to be reacting against. And that's exactly what the fuck-it-all nihilistic provocateur inside you is afraid of: that you will think things through, rather than react impulsively, and find a less potentially nuclear option for expressing your fed-up-ness. You've felt these urges periodically rise up over these many months of Mars-in-the-12th posing challenges to your sanity, and this is perhaps the last big hurrah as far as such urges go. You are just a few weeks away from a dramatic shift in the astro-air… one which will go far to neutralize that long-suffered sense of powerlessness and, in its place, to restore your competent capacity to once again steer the boat in your chosen direction. Before you throw in all your tiles or blow your lid or do something you can't undo, remind yourself that the next chapter is all yours to make of it what you will.
I think this is funny because I never, ever hit the point of "THAT'S IT, I AM THROUGH" and stick to it. I can tolerate ANYTHING indefinitely (see being a Taurus). I have no inner rebel, though.
On a related note, this week's Michael Lutin:
Outwardly you're in
total control, have it together,
and functioning on a high level.
The twelfth house transit of Mars
has been agonizingly slow
and slowly agonizing,
making you bounce between
imagining the worst,
and denying problems altogether,.
You have companions,
an audience,
social and professional supporters
who can take you far.
Don't scare yourself.
stay with faith.
and you will straighten it all out.
Just not yet.

Not sure what to make of this:
Love and creative expression can hurt.
When you allow yourself
f to experience
the only truly joys there are,
you open yourself to
the highest form of ecstasy,
happiness and the compassion
that enlivens the soul.
You also lay yourself bare
to unspeakably excruciating
longing and grief.
Some people avoid pain
and live without love.
Not you.
Romance, children, artistry–
for you they are everything."
Hah. As if on the first two.

"In Shamanic Astrology the Rising sign represents the tribe that we are called to in the lifetime. I am called to the Libran tribe, the tribe that is all about perfect and equal partnership. The Moon sign represents the tribe that we have come from. I have a Taurus Moon, this is the tribe of the aristocrat, the courtesan. I had spent lifetimes playing the courtesan and enjoying the pleasures of decadent human living, it made sense that I feared a 'love relationship' would take me away from my spiritual quest, for these were very Earthy experiences that I had lived in my previous experiences with love and it would have been easy to get lost in once again. However I was moving away from a courtesan experience of lovemaking and into an equally partnered one, one that would serve my life purpose.
The Sun sign in Shamanic Astrology is the sign that fuels you, it is the energy that makes you go, however the Venus and Mars are equally as important in helping us to define who we are as astrological beings.
The following is a shortened version of the list of archetypes and is quoted from Daniel Giamario:
ARIES: The Virgin Amazon
TAURUS: The Lover
GEMINI: The Divine Comedienne
CANCER: The Great Mother
LEO: The Queen
VIRGO: The Priestess
LIBRA: The Beloved
SCORPIO: The Sorceress
SAGITTARIUS: The Adventurer
CAPRICORN: The Matriarch
AQUARIUS: The Visionary
PISCES: The Selfless Servant"
I have to say: totally liking the idea of a sorceress being my tribe. Hah.
