If you are starting to look into obtaining a life insurance policy then you probably realize how important it can be in providing financial security for your family if you should happen to pass away prematurely. There is quite a bit of debate as to what type of policy is better, a term policy or a cash value life insurance policy. In this article we are going to define what a cash value policy is, some of the different types of cash value policies available, and how this type of insurance compares to a term life policy.
If you want a great deal get it here – life insurance with cash in value
A cash value life insurance policy is also known as permanent life insurance because unlike a term policy there is no expiration date. You will be covered for life as long as you make your premium payments. This type of policy builds cash value by investing a portion of your premium payments in various funds that will pay interest or dividends that will grow in value over time.
A term life insurance policy does not build any cash value and it will expire at the end of its term, leaving you without life insurance at that time. However, a term life insurance policy can cost just a tiny fraction of what you would pay for a cash value life insurance policy. Many people will argue that you are much better off going with a term policy and taking the substantial savings off of a permanent life policy and investing the difference yourself at better interest rates and without all of the associated fees of a permanent life policy.
Proponents of a cash value type of policy will argue that although the premium payments are considerably higher in the beginning, as the policy builds cash value you will be paying less in premium payments as you get older and with a term life policy the premium payments would be more expensive as you get older. Some other advantages of a permanent life insurance policy are that you'll never be without coverage as long as you make your premium payments, the money is invested for you which is great for people that don't have the knowledge or the discipline to make their own investments, the value grows tax-deferred and can even be borrowed against if you needed money in the future.
There are a number of different cash value life insurance options available. There are traditional whole life policies, universal, variable, and even hybrids of universal and variable life insurance policies. Some of these will offer more flexibility with the coverage options and others will offer more control over the investments that you can make with your policy. There are so many options available that you would really need to do some research to find the perfect policy for you and your family.
Whichever type of policy you decide to go with its a good idea to shop around a bit to find the best deal. The amount you pay in monthly premiums can vary greatly from one company to another and doing a little comparison shopping is a great way to find the best coverage at the most affordable price. You can get multiple quotes from a number of different insurance providers online and it only takes a few minutes to find the best price.

There's a new martial arts centre in Steveston. After eighteen years at its former location, this past summer Sirota's Alchymy Martial Arts & Life Skills Centre moved and expanded to a 6,300 square foot space, and is now the biggest Taekwondo school in Metro Vancouver.
Master Michael Sirota, owner of Sirota's Alchymy, had searched for over a year to relocate his business when he discovered the building was slated for demolition in the rapidly changing Olympic Oval area. He found the perfect new home for Sirota's Alchymy on Trites Road. With extensive renovations now complete, Sirota is thrilled with the spacious facility which includes a fully matted deluxe floor, new training equipment, a lounge with televised 'live' training, and complimentary Wi-Fi for parents.
Born in the former Soviet Union, Sirota moved to Edmonton when he was young and relocated to Vancouver as a teenager. As a child he took up Taekwondo and began competing in national-level championships. He smiled when he told me that after high school he did exactly what he instructs his students to avoid; he bypassed post-secondary education and pursued martial arts training. At age 22 he opened Sirota's Alchymy and has never looked back. In fact he has been so successful with his business that he started a second Vancouver location (on Victoria Street) two years ago.
What is alchymy? Sirota defines it as the art of transformation through personal empowerment which is the heart of his company's philosophy. For Sirota, this encompasses self-esteem, self-confidence, inner drive and personal pride. The centre has various programs and requirements integrated within the curriculum to see each child grow. This includes development at school, hence the lawn signs you may have seen "martial arts for all…. kick your child's grades up."
Sirota emphasizes that parents should do their homework to find the best martial arts program for their child. He often hears stories about children who registered in a class based on a facility's proximity to their home or the fees, and notes this can backfire as the chosen martial arts centre may not have the resources to work with that child.
Sirota's Alchymy was the first martial arts centre in Richmond to introduce pre-school age martial arts classes. The Tiny Tiger program is designed to teach young children how to achieve their personal best, as well as foster self-confidence and courage at an early age.
A variety of classes are also offered for children, youth, and adults. Family classes, scheduled twice weekly, are a unique way for children and parents to enjoy physical activity together. The selection of classes is vast and one wonders how Sirota manages to carve out enough hours in a day, let alone run two martial art centres. In a gentle way he laughs and makes it seem effortless. Not only does he teach, along with his highly skilled instructors, but he is also responsible for much of the administrative work including applying his savvy marketing skills.
Sirota has been in the forefront of pioneering, creating and implementing martial arts and self-defense programs for people with various special needs and disabilities honouring his company's goal to facilitate personal empowerment in all members of society. Taekwondo is the most popular martial art in the world and Sirota was proud to see it become recognized as a full medal sport at the 2000 Summer Olympics. He is actively working towards seeing the same status applied to the sport at the Paralympic level.
In addition to offering martial arts and self-defense programs at Sirota's Alchymy, Sirota frequently provides instruction to elementary and secondary schools, corporations, and various others groups and conferences.
Sirota's Alchymy is also a unique place to celebrate a birthday. Included in their party package is a private party room, a martial arts class for the guests and the opportunity for the birthday boy or girl to break a board and cut the birthday cake with a real sword. Sirota's Alchymy takes care of the set-up, food distribution, gift openings, clean up and child management. Parents, this is your chance to enjoy the party – so bring the food, your camera and sit back and relax.
When Sirota has the chance to take vacations they often involve humanitarian fundraising projects which are very important to him. One fundraising initiative allowed the school to purchase a container of 110 wheelchairs which were distributed in Vietnam. Other money has been raised to benefit orphanages in Mexico, Tibet and the Dominican Republic. Sirota has yet another philanthropic idea percolating which he will reveal imminently.
Master Michael Sirota has many irons in the fire, yet he is a model of calm, which is a testimony to his philosophy of alchymy and it is evident that he practises what he teaches.

Event To Feed 2000 Evacuees At Baton Rouge��s Southern University on Tuesday, November 22nd
New York, NY – Cash Money Records founders Ronald �â��Slim�â�� Williams and Bryan �â��Birdman�â�� Williams, Crescent City natives who are still overcoming the personal devastation of Hurricane Katrina in their own lives, are not letting the after-effects of the catastrophe prevent them from continuing their annual holiday tradition of providing a memorable Thanksgiving to those less fortunate. This year they�â��ll be dedicating their annual Turkey Giveaway to more than 2000 evacuees of the terrible Hurricane, providing survivors and displaced residents of the crisis with a sit-down Thanksgiving dinner with all the holiday trimmings.
The dinner will be held on Tuesday, November 22nd at Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA., from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, with the event being co-sponsored by SU.
��So many of our friends and family were devastated by this terrible tragedy, we wanted to do something a little more elaborate this year to address the needs of the people who have lost so much and might not have the resources to remember the holiday,�� stated Ronald Williams. ��We want to show our love and support for these courageous survivors who never, ever give up.�� Williams�� own home and offices were destroyed by Katrina, as his were brother��s, Lil Wayne��s, and other members of the Cash Money family. ��We��re just happy we are still able to provide our annual blessing this holiday,�� stated Birdman. ��It��s in that spirit that we want to show our friends and neighbors how much the Cash Money family cares about nurturing this community and rebuilding New Orleans.��
This is the Sixth Annual Thanksgiving Charity event for the Cash Money entrepreneurs, who have been on-hand for each holiday giveaway, personally handing out 25 lb. turkeys with a myriad of New Orleans celebrities, political figures, and hip- hop stars in tow to support the cause, just one of the many philanthropic endeavors founded by the compassionate Williams Brothers. The resourceful duo created the Johnny and Gladys Williams Foundation in 1998 in memory of their deceased parents. The foundation is dedicated to creating a wider net of opportunities for local youth, as well as the disenfranchised of the community. Their Cash Money For Kids�� program co-sponsored by the Charlotte Hornets basketball team, rewards local students for stellar academic achievement with tickets for NBA basketball games.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 28105824:MV85ODY3MTZfMzQ2MjE2OTRfRUM3MDcyMDY=] Today the Moon is in Aquarius, beckoning each of us to 'see' our Future Self, to know who we truly are. Almost a week ago we experienced that massive Super Solar Eclipse in the most private sign of the Zodiac, Scorpio (21 degrees and 57 minutes). How many of you have been experiencing even more levels of Fear, Anxiety, Depression, the inability to move forward this past week? Today the Moon is in a flowing ease with Jupiter (Rx in the data gathering sign of Gemini) asking us to ASK WHY - expand the truth here please! - of the root of those fears, anxieties, depression and deep deep sadness. Today's Moon is also squaring off to Mercury (Rx and also in Scorpio) ruler of Gemini, causing deep deep tension and stress to focus inward, and downward, into those inky depths of emotional pain and ASK WHY: what do I need to know about myself right now? What IS IT that I am missing the information of? What is causing all this emotional pain, this need to hide away and not show myself? What is it that I am fearing to face? Where am I in all of this? These Rx (Retrograde) planets bring the cosmic messages energetically inward, down down down deep into those uncharted emotional waters. Stay WITH those fears, keep moving ever downward until you 'see' or 'get' the insight you seek. We hold ALL the knowledge and information and wisdom deep within us. Now we need to use the COURAGE (Aries) to Free ourselves (Uranus) to know (Gemini) that which we have been afraid to know until today. The knowledge of today will open you up to heights never before experienced (or, not remembered in many many thousands of years). Today as we gently ALLOW ourselves to float on down into those truths, we realize the main truth: TRUST. How well are you TRUSTING in yourself? Trusting that YOU know the way forward already? Trusting that YOU have ALL the answers already? Trusting that YOU are the beacon of Light that will 'see' the way forward every moment of your day? This is a KEY theme and gift from Scorpio and all the planetary energies from last week's Solar Eclipse that have been working on us diligently ever since (and will continue to do so for these next 6 months to 3.5 years!). TRUST is the key now: that YOU are Divine; that YOU and your particular gifts are needed now, to be shared with others; that YOU KNOW who you truly are! Today's Moon in Aquarius is alerting us all to embrace our Future Self, to TRUST we have future knowledge about ourselves that is needed on a deep deep level to heal that which has been buried and repressed far too long. TRUST.IN.YOURSELF. ALWAYS! YOU already know the actions to be taken, the words to be spoken, the LETTING GO that needs to be taken action on! LET GO OF THE FEAR OF NOT KNOWING, OF NOT TRUSTING, OF NOT ALLOWING the Light to shine on through, from deep within YOU. YOU DO KNOW, YOU are Light and Unconditional Love and Compassion, Always. TRUST is the theme from this recent Solar Eclipse - and Solar means taking action; occurring in Scorpio, it means diving deep within your emotional baggage to 'SEE' what you couldn't see before now. Take the time and space to suss out why you are feeling depressed, afraid, angry, anxious - and unearth that root information in order to TRANSFORM and Rebirth YOU! This year of 2012, so far, has actually been 10.5 years worth of Soul / emotional growth! All of us have been through amazing experiences, letting go of past karmic relationships (that impact current relationships) that in turn created voids and identity crisis issues that in turn led to this past week's eddying into some of the last deeply held fears we had no idea we were still hanging onto! These last weeks of 2012, with the Cosmic energies of the North Node, Mercury Rx, and Saturn all in Scorpio, all point to us allowing ourselves to JUST.LET.IT.GO! Your need to hang on tight, to control people and circumstances and emotions and thoughts (mostly due to Fear of the Unknown) - LET.IT.GO! ALLOW the Love Light of the Mother/Father Godhead to surround you with the Universal abundance that IS our Spiritual birthright. No time to waste - allow yourself an hour or so to delve down deeply, face that fear of knowing your Inner Truth - take Action - DO IT NOW! AND: Trust that you are on the right path, you do know your next steps, and that the Universe, and the rest of us, will be there to catch you if you fall. http://www.starseekerconnection.com/ :plki9: [/quote]

Aquarius New Moon: February 13, 2010
It is the New Moon in Aquarius, the ultimate time for creating your own reality during the yearly cycle of 13 new moons. Aquarians are said to be independent, creative, changeable, and unique, which is frequently true. Yet, the challenge for any Aquarian is to be grounded and to have an open heart, since the ruling planet of Aquarius-Uranus-makes Aquarians over-energized, abstracted, and mental. During this New Moon, each one of us is especially challenged to access this creative and transformative part of ourselves, because the Chiron/Neptune conjunction (exact on Feb. 16) is exactly conjunct the New Moon. It would be wise to remember that intense self-discovery can take you out of your body, which separates you from the powers of your heart. This is the yearly Aquarian challenge for everybody, but this year's Aquarius New Moon offers a quantum leap in creative potential. This New Moon offers the central creative program, not just Aquarian software.
As this potential comes into our world, the collective field is undergoing deep structural change during the second Saturn upper-square Pluto on January 31, which was right after the Full Moon in Leo conjunct Mars. The signature themes are now becoming clear-the gargantuan 3.8 trillion dollar US federal budget; failing war and security efforts; the impending collapse of the global housing industry; stress in the Japanese auto industry; and the probable failure to achieve comprehensive health care in the US. As Saturn's retrograde square to Pluto hammers the world, most Americans realize that the American middle-class dream is over. Financial security was garroted on rifle butts, smothered in expensive prescription drugs, and destroyed by excessive mortgage debt. These hard Saturn/Pluto aspects are the key right now; Saturn forms and structures reality while Pluto destroys things that are no longer useful, following the cycles of evolutionary change for economies and social systems.
World economies moved out of recession in 1982/3 when Saturn conjuncted Pluto, and these economies accelerated during the great boom of the '80s and '90s. This expansion broke when Saturn opposed Pluto in 2001/02, and slowed even more when the US persuaded many countries to invest in endless war. Now with the upper square occurring after almost ten years of global fears, unpleasant truths are emerging: Millionaire politicians out of touch with the public have frittered away the wealth of the United States, which could trigger global bankruptcy. The American budget proposals, with no end in sight to spending, reveal there is no room for any domestic initiatives, even if wars were abandoned now. Ironically-speaking of activating your own central creative potential-this economic and political disaster means you have to do just that! People have less and less to lose all the time, and so more will break free and discover what they are actually capable of. You create your world-not banks, politicians, or the military.
The New Moon in 25 Aquarius is combust (less than 1 degree) the Chiron/Neptune conjunction, which will be exact on February 16. Therefore, the lunar seed or theme is the full revelation of Chiron conjunct Neptune. In my 2009 readings, I focused constantly on this "Triple Conjunction"-Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune in 25/26 Aquarius-because it was the central astrological theme. The conjunction of these three planets in close range during most of last year inspired a gigantic healing and spiritual crisis in most of our lives, which has fundamentally changed us. Chiron rules the deepest wounding complexes in our body/minds, Neptune rules access to spiritual planes by our souls, and then Jupiter's activation of this wounded spirit complex expanded this species-level crisis to the universal level.
Considering what the Pleiadians think of Earth right now, they are appalled by how you blow your bodies to bits and end up living in bodies with missing limbs. Meanwhile, well-paid city planners create more handicapped zones for wounded bodies. Do not be naive about the distraction being created by these bizarre programs that could cause your species to stop valuing normal physicality. Your potential to become a loving and peaceful species grew during the Triple Conjunction. Jupiter's "push" opened multidimensional doorways that offer humankind new solutions; a good example is the remarkable film Avatar that has a thrilling central theme of a paraplegic regaining his legs. The tragedy in Haiti was the greatest manifestation of the Triple Conjunction: Chiron as deep wounding, with Neptune expressing the ardent religious fervor of the Haitian people, and Jupiter representing the expansion of their plight to the whole world. Three days after the New Moon, the exact Chiron/Neptune conjunction will enable you to identify your own way to a major healing-which can be a key to unlock the doors to total access to spiritual wholeness.
These days the outer world convulses in astonishing chaos and pain caused by earthquakes, East/West violence, and global financial instability. The New Moon conjunct Chiron/Neptune pries open pathways to spirit because so many people know they cannot survive in such traumatic realities. This wild group in Aquarius insists that what matters is what you are personally doing, not the collective madness. Are you available to your elders, your children, and your colleagues and friends, or are you spaced out on Face Book? Being grounded is especially critical for Americans, since the New Moon conjunct Chiron/Neptune is right on the USA 27 Aquarius Moon, as well as right on the lunar South Node of the American president, Barack Obama. An excellent astrologer, Art Gianfermo, brought to my attention that Pluto is in 24 Aquarius in the chart for the formation of the American Stock Exchange in 1792. This strongly suggests that stocks could be negatively affected by this New Moon. Also, Saturn in 4 Libra is transiting the lunar North Node of the Stock Exchange Chart. Since Saturn squares Pluto while it transits the Stock Exchange North Node, fundamental changes are about to come for investors. For example, how is the middle class going to even be able to invest in the future? Investors, be careful-many transits in cardinal planets are building up for the so-called "Cardinal Crunch" this summer.
Also regarding 26 Aquarius, Neptune was in 26 Aquarius when the planet was first discovered in 1846! During this New Moon and the Chiron/Neptune conjunction on February 16, Neptune is experiencing its return, which will complete the spiritual trends that began in the 1840s. If we go back to the time of Neptune's sighting, we find people experimenting with mediumship; hypnotism was discovered; and the theosophical movement began. These movements were all based on the premise that we are not separate from spirit, and that we can develop skills to be in touch with spirit. For those of us accessing nine dimensions and other multidimensional studies these days, we are accessing galactic and universal consciousness. Barriers to other worlds are breaking down, and the key to these breakdowns is always Uranus, which is in the sign that rules Neptune, Pisces.
The planet of transformation, Uranus, is exactly 30 degrees beyond Chiron/Neptune conjunct the New Moon. This is not a strong aspect, but Uranus rules Aquarius, so this increases Neptunian resonance with the New Moon complex. While in Pisces, Uranus subtly emphasizes that the really meaningful transformations are spiritual and not physical. Uranus has been in Pisces since 2003 and moves into Aries in March 2011 (after a brief sojourn into Aries during June-August 2010), so we are in the final stages of mastering its spiritual potential. Uranus rules our creative development over 84 years and transits each sign of the Zodiac for 7 years, the famous "seven-year itch." Every seven years, a new creative theme is worked out in culture, and as individuals, we each change greatly at ages 7, 14, 21, 28, and so on. Many cultures feel that a child first becomes an adult at age 21, which is the first Uranus square. Collectively, the 84-year cycle begins with Aries and ends with Pisces, so now we are poised at the end of a Uranus cycle and a new beginning in Aries. Thus, this culmination in Pisces is the collective spiritual maturation after growing through many levels since 1927, the last time Uranus was in Aries (which was just before the Great Depression).
If you reflect for a moment, you will notice that you have become much more spiritually inclined since the 1960s, when Uranus entered the latter signs of this cycle, and now we are experiencing the final stages of spiritual breakthrough. This New Moon expresses this story dramatically with the New Moon/Chiron/Neptune also in happy resonance with Uranus in Pisces. And, Jupiter is now in Pisces, which is awakening compassion and spirituality and expanding the final stages of the 184-year-long Neptune discovery phase. The grouping of the New Moon/Chiron/Neptune in late Aquarius followed closely by Venus/Jupiter in early Pisces certainly draws the eye. We can feel that something momentous is coming, and I note that there were many rumors about secret negotiations with the Taliban of Afghanistan and Pakistan during the second Saturn-square-Pluto. Hmmm . . .
Meanwhile, my more-complex eye is drawn to two thought-provoking "Yods" in this New Moon chart (a "Yod" is the finger of God in Arabic astrology). Pluto sextile Venus/Jupiter is in a Yod to Mars retrograde, and Saturn sextile Mars is in a Yod to Venus/Jupiter. These are very tight Yods. If you recall, there were two potent Yods in the 2009 Winter Solstice chart that have already demonstrated their powers, as I discussed in the reading for the previous New Moon. So, let's talk about Yods, since few people understand them and few astrologers pay much attention to them. Yods are quite rare during New and Full Moons and seasonal charts, and so they should be scrutinized when they occur during these intense passages. Also they rule deep inner psychological processes, the source for the ability to make real changes in our lives. ln my own work as an astrologer, I have found Yods pack a wallop on the scale of grand squares and T-squares. I don't know whether Arabic astrologers would agree that they are this significant. But, since the best source on Yods is Arabic astrology, I suspect Eastern astrologers value them as I do. Of course, Yods have two quincunxes in them, and Western astrologers do not pay enough attention to quincunxes, the aspects that push us to do things we are resisting.
You can image the finger of God as God's finger pointing at the meaningful issue, with God's body shooting its power through this finger. Since current male-dominant descriptions of God are so disempowering, I like to describe Yods by using the dowsing rod as my model. Dowsing rods are metal tools used to detect the location of water. The "dowser" holds the two rods that hold a bent rod in a slip that allows the two rods to move freely. Holding the rods in his hands, when the holder's cells feel water, electrical signals in the dowsers hands cause the rods to draw together to form a double quincunx-the Yod-that points the rods to the water source. They really work! Imagine yourself as a dowser holding the energy of the two planets (or more) in a sextile and then allow that energy to flow out of your hands to the opposite point, the head of the Yod. Of course, you can only do this by comprehending and feeling the quality of each planet in the sextile, while you imagine holding them in your left and right hands. Then as you shoot this force out to the head of the Yod, you can feel how its impulses, pushes, and activates the planet at the head of the Yod-that is, assuming you can feel the qualities of the planet at the head. It sounds complicated, so, let's just do it. Then we can look at how these powers affect the New Moon/Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius, which is the theme of the New Moon: totally activating your creative potential now.
Venus/Jupiter in early Pisces plays a pivotal role because it is the right hand of the Yod to Mars, and it is also the head of the Yod coming from the Saturn/Mars sextile. Like a caduceus, this double role greatly intensifies both Venus and Jupiter, especially Venus, which is less than one degree from its aspects to Mars and Saturn, very close aspects indeed! Taking a glimpse at what's been going on lately with Venus, Venus was conjunct the Sun during the December 31 Cancer lunar eclipse; combust the Sun during the January 15 close solar eclipse; and conjunct the Sun during the January 29/30 Full Moon. These were the eclipses and Full Moon that facilitated our movement into our collective dark night of the soul that was initially set up by the field of the Winter Solstice. Therefore the role Venus is playing must be carefully watched, especially in the actions of these two Yods.
See yourself standing very erect with your feet grounded in Earth. You are holding Venus/Jupiter in 3-6 Pisces in your right hand, and Pluto in 5 Capricorn in your left hand. Pluto in Capricorn is pushing us all to completely transform the structures in our world, while Venus/Jupiter conjunct in Pisces inspire us to melt into total spiritual immersion. You are holding a force in your hands that has been overturning the major world religions by opening spiritual reconnection with Earth, the central goddess. As you hold these forces in your hands and feel them in your body, shoot that great energy out to Mars retrograde in Leo. Like the rerun of a bad movie, Mars retrograde in Leo is dragging the human race back through all its recent dregs of war, chaos, dominance, and greed. This is a part in us that swills in our own emotional and mental excrement until we can't stand it anymore-so just climb out of the pit! The people in Haiti, struggling to escape the hell they've lived in for so long and being hauled out of rubble, with the recalcitrant West warring against the stupefied and barbarized East, perfectly express this energy. The ego in you that refuses to let the past go so that you can be refreshed to discover a new world expresses this force. Feel how the relentless force of Pluto in Capricorn crumbles walls and exposes financial and military corruption, as the Earth expands herself with Jupiter's masterful powers. Indeed, the Finger of God is pointing to and melting the real problem, too much martial energy wasted in killing and destruction instead of resources used for protection and building new realities.
Now, for the second Yod. See yourself standing erect again with your feet firmly on the ground. You are holding Mars in Leo in your left hand, and Saturn in Libra in your right hand. Mars retrograde in Leo is dragging us back through experiences of using energy badly and being too much in ego; and Saturn retrograde in early Libra is pushing us to deepen the balance and harmony that we achieved November 2009 through mid-January 2010. During this short period, it looked like the world economy was recovering and the old order would be salvaged. Now the great changes are coming on strong again, we are being asked to find new paths. You are holding an energy force in your hands that can show you how to balance power and aggression in your life so that you can regain the full usage of your protective powers. Saturn is asking you to remember the real potency of Mars, which has created civilization and families and life itself. As you hold potent, sextiled Mars and Saturn in your hands, shoot this force out to Venus/Jupiter in Pisces, two players standing together to rebirth the goddess and expand beauty in our reality. Venus/Jupiter plays the role of pointing us to choose Earth first, to expand ourselves in beauty, while also being the right-handed power pushing Mars to rise out of his patriarchal rut. For fun, let's call this the "Avatar Yod".
As best you can, feel these forces through your hands, and feel the powers that you can actually direct in your reality. Hold the feeling for these very real forces during the New Moon. Note that there is still another planet aspecting the Yods that we just played with: Mercury in Aquarius, which functions as the ultimate activator of the Yods. Mercury in 5 Aquarius closely opposes Mars retrograde in 4 Leo, while it trines Saturn retrograde in 4 Libra. Mercury encourages extremely challenged Mars to use intelligence first for a change, while Saturn in Libra is being inspired with new creative visions of new ways to create structures in the world.
To summarize this very complex and potent New Moon chart: The collective world will feel very chaotic and undirected, while individuals will wake up mind-bending inner creative powers, especially those who have planets in 3-6 degrees of any sign. If you do, you may feel like you are in the middle of a pinball machine with lights and sound going off while somebody is shaking and tilting it to boot. The early Greeks always said, "Know Thyself." Well, perhaps they were right.

Barnes Foundation Arboretum Opens to the Public on Weekends Beginning May 9, 2014
Highlights include newly-renovated tea house and 31 State Champion Trees
Philadelphia PA (May 4, 2014)—Beginning May 9, 2014, the Arboretum of the Barnes Foundation will be open for public visitation Fridays through Sundays, 10 am to 4 pm. General admission tickets are $5, tickets are free for Barnes Foundation members. Guided tours are available Fridays at 11 am and Saturdays and Sundays at 1 pm. Tours are $15 for the general public and $12 for members and include admission. Book tickets or tours online at www.barnesfoundation.org/visit or call 215.278.7200. The Barnes Arboretum is located at 300 Latch's Lane, Merion PA.
"We are pleased to be able to open the Arboretum to the public on weekends over the summer," said Margaret Zminda, Interim Director of the Barnes Foundation. "The gardens are beautiful and there are many historic and rare plants to see. During the week we also have a wide range of programs, classes and workshops for enthusiasts of every age to enjoy."
In 1922, when Dr. Albert Barnes and his wife Laura bought the property that became the Arboretum, it was already well known for the collection of unusual specimen trees that its previous owner, Joseph Lapsley Wilson, had started assembling in the 1880s. The site became the home of Barnes's educational foundation, and Wilson stayed on as the first director of its Arboretum.
While Barnes concentrated on building and refining the Foundation's art collection, Laura Barnes devoted herself to developing the Arboretum for more than 40 years. Her legacy lives on in rolling lawns surrounded by rare specimen trees from around the world, mature woodlands, a teahouse overlooking a pond, formal gardens, and in the Arboretum School that she founded in 1940. Although at 12 acres, the entire arboretum can be easily walked in a visit, its magnificent collection, astonishingly large and diverse for the size of the property, is worth lingering over: 3,000 unusual species of woody plants, including collections of Stewartia, Aesculus, Phellodendron, Clethra, Magnolia, Viburnum, and Lilac, as well as 31 state champion trees. Other collections include roses, peonies, hostas, medicinal plants, and over 200 hardy ferns. Made up of her favorite types of plants, the collection was also assembled by Mrs. Barnes specifically for teaching purposes. A herbarium of more than 10,000 specimens complements the living collection and is available to the Foundation's horticulture students and other scholars by appointment.

Following the tour, enjoy a discussion about the history of the rose, which has been a powerful symbol of lust, virginity, and the blood of innocents in Western culture for 2,000 years.

Horticulture education
Generations of horticulturists have trained in the Barnes Foundation's three-year, integrated, horticulture certificate program which has been in continuous operation since 1940. It offers a comprehensive approach to the science and methods of horticulture and design. Aesthetics and the practical application of knowledge are emphasized in all coursework. The arboretum and greenhouse serve as the program's laboratories.
During the 28-week academic year, students spend one full day each week on campus. Coursework is divided between classroom lectures, studio work, and fieldwork. The program is geared toward students with a serious interest in horticulture, but no horticultural experience is required for enrollment. To learn more about the certificate program, contact email@example.com or call 215.278.7373.
About the Barnes Foundation
The Barnes Foundation was established by Albert C. Barnes in 1922 to "promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture." The Barnes has one of the finest collections of post-impressionist and early modern paintings, with extensive holdings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Henri Rousseau, Amedeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine, and Giorgio de Chirico; American masters Charles Demuth, William Glackens, Horace Pippin, and Maurice Prendergast; old master paintings; African sculpture; Native American ceramics, jewelry and textiles; American paintings and decorative arts; and antiquities from the Mediterranean and Asia.
The Barnes Foundation's Art and Aesthetics programs engage diverse audiences. These programs, on-site, online, and in Philadelphia communities, advance the mission through progressive interdisciplinary teaching and learning.
In May 2012, the Barnes Foundation opened a new facility on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects. The Philadelphia campus is home to the Foundation's world-famous art collection and changing exhibitions in its 5,000-square-foot Roberts Gallery. Upcoming exhibitions include: The World Is an Apple: The Still Lifes of Paul Cezanne, June 22-September 22, 2014, and William Glackens, November 8, 2014-February 2, 2015.
The Barnes Arboretum is located at 300 N. Latch's Lane, Merion PA, 19066. It contains more than 3,000 varieties of trees and woody plants, including 31 state champion trees. Founded in the 1880s by Joseph Lapsley Wilson and expanded under the direction of Laura Barnes, the collection includes a fern-leaf beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Laciniata'), a dove tree (Davidia involucrata), a monkey-puzzle tree (Araucaria araucana), and a redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). Other important living collections include lilacs, peonies, Stewartias, and magnolias. Inaugurated in 1940 by Mrs. Barnes, the Arboretum School offers a comprehensive three-year certificate course in botanical science, horticultural practice, garden aesthetics, and design. The Foundation's archives are also located at the Merion campus.

New Year's Resolution: Canvas In The Kitchen
What's the creative project you've been meaning to get done? When we put out the call in December, we heard from hundreds of people eager to throw their hats in the ring and commit publicly to their artistic plans.
Adrienne Ognibene, from Takoma Park, Maryland, resolved to complete six paintings and twelve large-scale charcoal drawings by year's end. "I went to the back-to-school sale at the old art store I went to when I was in college and I bought a ton of canvases," she reports. Her makeshift studio is her kitchen. "You have to move everything away, clean it all up and make it all go away, so you can cook dinner and don't wind up eating your acrylic paint."
She hasn't made as much progress as she might like, but she's hoping Daylight Savings will work to her advantage: "It's getting warmer and I can go outside. I have more light when I get home from work."

I decided to do the peaceful route but when all undead, etc. are destroyed Slaan doesn't respond as if it were so. Instead he continues to implore that we don't talk, just save his clan.
I have read that there used to be a bug whereby this wan't resolved and it took patching to "fix" it. The problem is I have the final version of the game via patch.
Any ideas to help resolve this? This is my second time through with the same results and, yes, I went throughout the dungeon to make sure every room and hallway was clear of undead -- twice.
There are some Lizardmen in a remote Chamber; you have to talk to their Leader to finish the Quest.
And thanks TONS for your quick answer.

Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve
Open to the Public
Things To Do
Bring your binos for birdwatching! View All
Plan Your Visit
Trail is open. View All
Get Directions
***The Garden of Eden Trail at Apalachicola Bluffs has reopened.***
Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve protects one of the rarest of habitats: steephead ravines and streams. The Apalachicola River and Bay region is a biological hotspot, unique to Florida and home to a disproportionate number of imperiled species. The preserve is well on its way to full restoration and the uplands are being transformed into a classic, intact sandhill habitat.
Will you please support our work today?
Bristol, Florida (about one hour west of Tallahassee in northern Liberty County).
The preserve trail is open to the public from dawn to dusk, year-round.
6,295 acres
Hiking Trail
A 3.75-mile, round-trip, self-guided trail takes you through an enchanting area that local legend claims is the original Garden of Eden. Beginning in longleaf pine/wiregrass uplands, the trail soon skirts the top of a dramatic steephead ravine, descends steeply through the slope forest to cross a seepage stream and then ascends the slope forest back to sandhills.The trail eventually opens to a spectacular view at Alum Bluff. At 135 feet above the Apalachicola River, Alum Bluff is the largest natural geological exposure in Florida!
Why the Conservancy Selected This Site
Steephead ravines and associated seepage streams are among the rarest of freshwater habitats. These unusual geologic features provide refuge for a number of Florida's plants and animals—some found nowhere else on Earth– including two of the world's rarest evergreens, the Florida torreya and Florida yew. Other species more common in the Appalachians, such as mountain laurel and ash magnolia are at the southern end of their range here. The preserve also protects longleaf pine sandhill uplands, breathtaking river bluffs and million year-old fossils.
What the Conservancy Has Done to Restore the Site
We undertook a massive project in 1985 to restore the property. Years of management for industrial timber production had left little of the once-vibrant sandhill community. Now, after 25 years of restoration, the sandhill community is returning to its former glory and again boasts healthy populations of wild turkey, bobwhite quail, Bachman's sparrow, Florida pine snake and gopher tortoise. The preserve is a model of vibrant landscapes in all stages of rebirth.
Prescribed fire has been returned to this fire-dependent landscape so that native plants and animals will thrive. Meet some of these species. Regular fire supports longleaf pine habitat, stimulates the growth and flowering of critical groundcover species such as wiregrass, and keeps hardwood species in check.
Staff and volunteers have hand-planted millions of longleaf pine seedlings and wiregrass plugs. All groundcover species are started from seed collected on the preserve. Currently we direct seed 200 acres per year in order to restore the natural sandhill habitiat.
Conservancy staff has developed a process here that takes prepared, bare sand to an intact, fire-ready wiregrass habitat in 40 months. These and other techniques are now being shared with land managers all over the southeastern United States.
Other Innovative Projects
- Dam removal at the preserve's Kelley Branch and at a nearby state park. The Conservancy pioneered these successful dam removal and stream restorations that are setting a standard for similar projects in the Southeast. Watch a video.
- Restoring fish passage and river connectivity. The Conservancy is working with three states and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to modify their dam operations, allowing threatened imperiled Alabama shad, striped bass and other important species to swim up the Apalachicola and other rivers to historic spawning grounds.
- Reintroduction of the indigo snake. The Conservancy is working with The Orianne Society, a non-profit foundation dedicated to the conservation, management and study of the eastern indigo snake, in the hope of returning this magnificent species to restored habitat where it once thrived.
- Groundcover restoration. The fine art of groundcover restoration in the southeastern United States started right here. Over the past 25 years, staff has developed techniques that are practical, economical and can be applied on a large scale.
- Providing land management at neighboring Torreya State Park. Across a shared boundary line from the preserve lie significant steephead ravines. The Conservancy has been helping the state park to protect these ravines, and together they will restore thousands of acres of critical habitat over the next decade.
- Controlling invasive, non-native species. The Conservancy is leading an effort to coordinate invasive species management and control throughout the Apalachicola River and Bay region, joining with more than 24 public and private partners.
- An Ecosystem Restoration Team has been created to provide prescribed fire assistance, invasive species removal and other land management assistance to all of the state and federal conservation partners within the Apalachicola region. Recently, $800,000 in state and federal funds was dedicated to the project.
What to See: Plants
The preserve protects two of the world's rarest evergreens, the Florida torreya and Florida yew. Yews are seen along the botanical loop trail, but live torreyas are no longer visible along the trail. Other plants of interest include the large-leaved, large-flowered Ashe's magnolia; pyramid magnolia; Florida anise; mountain laurel; oak leaf hydrangea; spring ephemerals such as trillium and wild ginger; Gholson's blazing star; numerous ferns; and an array of fall-blooming sandhill wildflowers and grasses including toothed basil and lopsided Indiangrass.
What to See: Animals
The preserve is home to several rare species of resident and migrating birds including the bald eagle, Mississippi kite, swallow-tailed kite, wild turkey, worm-eating warbler, hooded warbler, Bachman's sparrow, Louisiana water thrush and Swainson's warbler.
Only foot travel is allowed on the trail. To protect the preserve's rare plants, animals, and cultural and geologic features, the following are not allowed: pets, smoking, littering, camping, climbing on the bluffs, collecting, firearms, fires, hunting and radios.
Visitors should plan on a 3-hour hike, bring 1 – 2 quarts of water per person, and may wish to bring a hiking stick to assist with the steep climbs and descents. Please keep in mind that the trail is steep and the climbs are arduous.
For your safety, please observe trail signs at Alum Bluff and stay well back from the edge as you follow the orange-blazed trail along the river bluff. The bluff is an active slide area and abandoned sections of trail are badly undercut and prone to collapse.
Please leave dogs at home. Dogs are not allowed on the trail.
For more information about visiting or volunteering, or if you are a researcher and would like access to the preserve, email Lara Rainbolt, Conservation Program Specialist or call (352) 405-1036.
