When I was in high school, I went to see the musical version of the movie Big (yes – they made that Tom Hanks movie into a musical). It's not an entirely memorable show, but one number stuck with me. It's called "Stop, Time" and it's a song that a mother sings about her sadness in regards to her child growing older. Even as a teenager, I was aware that this song was touching on a profound pain of the human experience, and I remember stifling loud sobs in the theater for the duration of the ballad. Here's the part that gets me every time:
Nobody warns you of this parent's paradox
You want your kid to change and grow
But when he does, another child you've just begun to know
Leaves forever
Birthdays fly – 7, 8, 9, 10
Every kid he becomes you clutch and say "Stop, time"
Hold this one fast
But it's not supposed to last
And that time has come and passed
For he's growing
And he has to go
I'm really feeling this parenting paradox at this stage of our lives. It's tough because it feels like we are on the precipice of a new stage that I'm very much looking forward to. We are no longer dependent on sippy cups or bottles. Three of the four can sit in boosters instead of car seats. Two of them can swim safely well enough that I'm not paranoid about them drowning at the pool. They can all pour their own cereal, dress themselves, brush their own teeth, strap themselves into the car. And the biggest hurdle is so close I can almost taste it: Karis will soon be out of diapers. Oh what a joyous day that will be. I have had a child in diapers for the last seven years. I CANNOT WAIT to graduate from that one. She is also slowly dropping her afternoon nap, which is another big milestone. For the last seven years, my days have revolved around a nap schedule. The thought of planning each day without regard for a two-hour stint at home in the middle of the afternoon? How liberating. Mark and I frequently talk about the things we will be able to do more easily once the kids are just a bit bigger. Go on longer road trips. Take family bike rides. Go kayaking. Travel more SLEEP IN. There are many aspects of our pre-kids life that we are hoping to pick back up once these kids are just a bit bigger, so we are often looking forward to that time with some eagerness and anticipation. And yet . . . Getting to that stage means giving up so much. I love that Karis is moving past the baby stage, but I hate that our long evening cuddles are gone – shunned in favor of laying in bed with her favorite picture books. I miss some of the aspects of having a baby, and many of the adorably cute aspects of her current stage will be replaced when she crosses over into the more autonomous stage that we're looking forward to. There are so many ways I want to be less needed by the kids. I want them to gain independence and I want to transition into a phase that is less caretaking and more fun. At the same time, there is such a bittersweet sadness to being less needed by my kids. I feel like Mark and I are living in this constant angsty tension – wanting so much for this hard phase to be over, simultaneously feeling so wistful and guilty that we are wishing it away, and then immediately grieving each stage as soon as it has past. It seems like we are constantly sandwiched between a hope for an easier stage, and a regret that the harder stage has passed. I suppose the solution to this parent paradox is true for life in general. . . the trick is learning how to be content in each given moment, without dwelling on the future OR the past. I'm doing my best to try to live in the moment and celebrate each phase of life my kids are in. But oh, it's hard not to look back. And it's hard not to look ahead. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This post was sponsored by P&G. P&G is the Proud Sponsor of Moms, not just the moms of athletes, but ALL moms around the world.

Within the mining industry roughly 90 percent of gold mines around the world employ cyanidation to extract gold from finely ground rock. Cyanidation is a technique in which a sodium cyanide compound is sprayed on crushed low-grade ore where it attaches to minute gold particles to form a water-soluble, gold-cyanide compound from which the gold can then be recovered. This extraction method is very controversial because of the many environmental hazards associated with the highly toxic nature of cyanide and, as a result, most countries have implemented strict regulations for cyanide discharges and plants include a specific cyanide destruction step before releasing waste to a storage facility.
Because water treatment is becoming increasingly important and topical, environmental regulations are becoming stricter and mining companies are being put under more pressure to treat their wastewater. Of the possible solutions for cyanide destruction the use of ozone oxidation has several important advantages over other cyanide destruction solutions. Ozone is a highly reactive molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms, making it one of the most powerful oxidizing agents known. Ozone is extremely effective against all free and complex cyanides and does not form undesirable by-products, such as chlorinated organics or ammonia, as a result of the oxidation process. Ozone is environmentally friendly and its production does not require the purchase, storage or handling of dangerous chemicals. Ozone can be generated on site, by using ozone generators, and does not require high temperatures or pressures in order to be effective. Most importantly – other cyanide destruction processes add something to the system, which can necessitate additional expensive treatment; Ozone does not.

text: DigitalWagner Glamorizes ApathyBy Christian|May 23, 2005 ShareBy Christian|May 23, 2005 Share On today's NY Times Op-Ed page, in skillfully evocative prose, Bruce Wagner complains that the LA mayoral race was too boring to pay attention to:No one here even knew there was an election last week. Elections in Los Angeles just happen, like expensive new buildings suddenly happen. Frank Gehry has said that the bureaucracy of architecture in Los Angeles is "under the radar," so extraordinary structures can go up without anyone knowing until it's done. Elections are under the radar as well, no matter how much they get written about. But unlike the architecture, the results are usually singularly and spectacularly unspectacular.[…]No one I know has ever heard of Jim Hahn. Some people I know have heard of our new mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa. I myself read about him giving a speech where he was apologizing for his not-great fluency in the Spanish language. I thought that was charming. Other people I know confuse him with the actor whom Glenn Close replaced on "The Shield" or the guy under house arrest on "Desperate Housewives." He has a kind of rascally charm and is way more sexy than the silvery, flat-jowled Dead Hahn Walking.I think everyone agrees that neither Villaraigosa nor Hahn were super-thrilling candidates, but when well-to-do Hollywood aesthetes show up on the editorial page of the New York Times making glib jokes, you have to wonder: is the problem the candidates or the electorate?

text: The subtitle here is misleading: though they all took unusual risks, these six women were not merely daredevils. Their motives for their extraordinary exploits included trying to make enough money to survive (Annie Edson Taylor published a book about going over Niagara Falls in a barrel); furthering a scientific career (Delia Ackley led a safari to collect specimens for the Brooklyn Museum; mountaineer Annie Smith Peck was one of the first women to be a college professor; and diver Eugenie Clark now teaches at the University of Maryland); and providing a courageous example (Bessie Coleman was the first licensed black pilot; Thecla Mitchell was a disabled participant in the 1990 New York Marathon). In taut narratives centering on a few dramatic events, Rappaport focuses on her subjects' problem solving, pluck, and perseverance rather than on their lifelong accomplishments, though she does provide enough biographical background to set each in context. Her text is lively with direct quotes, garnered, she explains in excellent notes, from interviews and the subjects' own writings. A few muddy b&w photos are included; especially for the more recent figures, it's too bad that photos giving a better sense of these strong characters weren't found. List of 26 women adventurers. Bracing and inspirational. (Nonfiction. 9-12)

Through doing, through initiation – this is how we can create a real change. We should not just sit and talk. We should do.Yohanan Hruschev, MEET alumnus
The (2014) summer provided a demonstration of MEET's power and importance. Despite the trauma of an ongoing war, 175 Palestinian and Israeli students showed up for a modified MEET program guided by MIT instructors. I saw this as a remarkable demonstration of not only the resilience of MEET, but also of the depth of commitment it produces in Israelis and Palestinians to find a constructive way forward.MIT Professor Daniel Jackson
meet our impact
Since 2004, MEET alumni have taken steps as young leaders in their personal and professional lives. Alumni have launched 15 ventures that address real-world problems, in both uni-national and bi-national teams (see more in "MEET our projects"). They have scaled up volunteer efforts by applying their technology and entrepreneurial skills to local charities. Alumni have been accepted to high profile universities across the globe, from MIT (8 alumni accepted so far) to Cambridge (2 alumni) and Harvard (1 alumnus), as well as prestigious local universities such as Bethlehem (10 alumni) and Hebrew University (11 alumni).
Moreover, aside from entering prestigious universities, developing startups with a social/political impact, taking leadership positions in local charities and initiating community projects to improve Palestinian-Israeli relations, alumni have focused on giving back to MEET. From 2004 onward, 39 alumni have volunteered in the student program - both during the summer intensive and during the yearlong program, to help the next generation of Palestinian and Israeli leaders learn tools to take action towards positive change in our region.
Alumni are taking steps as leaders by initiating ventures with a positive impact, attending prestigious universities, and giving back to their communities and MEET.

BPA exposure linked to changes in stem cells, lower sperm production
Environmental Health News
- 1/22/2015.
By Brian Bienkowski - BPA and other estrogenic compounds hamper development of the stem cells responsible for producing sperm in mice, which suggests such exposure could contribute to declining sperm counts in men, according to a new study. The study, published in PLoS Genetics, is the first to suggest that low, brief exposures to bisphenol-A, or other estrogens such as those used in birth control but found as water contaminants, early in life can alter the stem cells responsible for producing sperm later in life.

THIS GOSPEL MUSIC COLLECTION provides a comprehensive reference to a range of Christian Gospel songs commonly included in the canon of the following American performance styles for this type of religious music as defined below:
CHRISTIAN COUNTRY MUSIC is a form of popular music sometimes referred to as country gospel music or inspirational country, and is a form of gospel music with an emphasis on the everyday lives and situations of its typical audience. The common Christian themes of worship, praise, thanksgiving, fellowship and the Gospel message tend to be expressed in a less formal way than they do in normal church hymns. Songs also tend to be rather sentimental and have a tendency to yearn for better days gone by. Songs vary from overtly religious to secular with few Christian references, perhaps with the purpose of making them more acceptable to a less religious audience who may not even recognise the Christian allusions.
BLUEGRASS GOSPEL shares its roots with Christian country, and in many ways could be considered simply a style of playing and performing Gospel. Many bluegrass bands include gospel music in their repertoire. The style commonly features faster tempo, emphasis on instrumentation (commonly, banjo, mandolin and fiddle), three or four-part harmony singing, and A cappella choruses.
SOUTHERN GOSPEL is again from the same country roots and its songs expound the problems and situations of everyday life and how God answers them. Like bluegrass Gospel, strong, wide range, harmonies, generally four part, are a common feature.
Note that, although these Gospel genres include songs from, and are certainly influenced by Negro Spiritual and black gospel traditions they are primarily a white Gospel phenomenon.
Some of the songs have both Lyrics only and Lyrics and Chords(suffix CRD) versions, a few of the songs also have versions from different artists. The lyrics with chords marked for playing accompaniment should be suitable for use with instruments such as Guitar, Ukulele, Banjo or Mandolin etc.
Some of the songs, extend to several screens. To avoid slow to load pages only the first page is displayed, in these cases you will need to DOWNLOAD the PDF file to see all the song pages.
Although many of the songs mention artist names, this may not be accurate and these these songs should not be considered as definitive versions representative of any particular performance or artist. Also the keys and chord sequences chosen may also vary considerably between versions by different artists. Many of these songs are in the public domain or traditional categories, however this cannot be guaranteed, and should you wish to use them as a basis of a performance or for any non-personal study purpose you are advised to contact the copyright holders (where available, copyright info has been included with the song). These transcriptions are made by many different individuals from all over the world for their own research and instruction, and as such are liable to great variation in in interpretation and opinion. They are being shared on this site for educational purposes only, please see our copyright page for more info.

It is our belief and passion that every person deserves quality counseling, regardless of their financial resources or insurance coverage. As a result, we offer a sliding fee scale, and most insurance plans and/or EAPs are accepted.
Sliding Fee Scale
If you do not have insurance, or your insurance does not cover mental health services, we offer a sliding fee scale option. Your fee will be determined by two factors: your combined annual household income, and the number of people in your household dependent on that income amount. Your sliding fee scale amount will be determined during your intake.
Many insurance plans offer mental health coverage. Plans can vary from person to person, which will determine what your copay will be. We accept most major insurances and are happy to check your benefits to find out what kind of coverage you have. Some plans also include out of network benefits.
The insurance companies our counselors accept are listed below. Please be advised this list is not exhaustive. If you do not see your insurance company on the list, please contact us, and we will be happy to check your benefits for you.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP):
Many employers allow a set number of counseling sessions per year (typically 3 – 8 sessions) that are covered through an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) at no cost to you. Your human resources department can direct you to your EAP provider, they will take you through their intake process, and then they will send authorization paperwork to us.
Insurances we accept include, but are not limited to:
*note: this list is not exhaustive, please contact the main office if you don't see your insurance listed below, and we will be happy to check your benefits for you.

Which Solar Photovoltaic System To Use?
by Linda Pang
In Singapore, there are three main solar photovoltaic systems that are often used. but of the three, which PV system is better suited to the needs of a particular project? To answer this pertinent question, we embarked on an investigative comparative study of the PV systems for the Pasir Ris Sports & Recreation Centre project.
Project Background
The Pasir Ris Sports & Recreation Centre was recently celebrated as the 1,000th certified green building since the Building and Construction Authority's (BCA) Green Mark Scheme was introduced in 2005. The project achieved the BCA Green Mark GoldPlus, the second highest rating under the green building rating scheme.
Designed with a "Sporting Sanctuary in the Park" concept, the Centre integrates tropical passive design, green features, as well as a seamless connection to the neighbouring town park to create a user-friendly and environmentally friendly building.
The centre has a few distinguishing green features. It is 25% more energy efficient than an average building without green features, and has an impressive 170kWp photovoltaic system on its rooftop, which is expected to generate about 207,380 kWh of electricity each year to support up to 12% of its annual energy consumption. This is equivalent to the amount of energy used to power up 43 four-room HDB flats, which will help the centre save about $57,000 annually (based on estimated tariff rate of $0.276/kWh). Another interesting feature is a human-powered exercise bicycle in the gym that allows users to generate electricity while working out. The electricity generated from the bicycle can be stored to power up the television in the gym for more than eight hours. An interactive public display system located at the foyer of the Centre allows visitors to learn more about the Centre's green initiatives, as well as keep track of the building's energy consumption. The building is fitted with water and energy efficient features such as LED lighting and incorporates passive design to enhance daylighting and natural ventilation in common areas. In addition, louvres acting as sunshading screens are installed on the building's façade to prevent heat gain into the building. These timber louvres are recycled from the timber benches of the old National Stadium, helping to preserve our heritage as well as the environment.
How PV Works
Solar PV systems convert sunlight directly into electricity. This is different from solar thermal systems that trap heat to warm up water. When PV panels are exposed to sunlight, they generate direct current electricity ("DC"). An inverter then converts the DC into alternating current electricity ("AC"), so that it can feed into one of the building's AC distribution boards without affecting the quality of the power supply.
Common PV Technologies
A solar PV system is powered by many crystalline or thin film PV modules. Individual PV cells are interconnected to form a PV module or panel, making it easier for installation.
PV cells are made of light-sensitive semiconductor materials that use photons to dislodge electrons to drive an electric current. There are two broad categories of technology used for PV cells, namely crystalline silicon, which accounts for the majority of PV cell production, and thin film, which is newer and growing in popularity. There are currently three main PV systems that are used in Singapore:
– Mono-crystalline
– Poly-crystalline
– Amorphous Thin Film
PV Selection Criteria
We took into consideration several selection criteria, such as efficiency, cost and reflective properties. Efficiency is defined as the proportion of sunlight that the PV cell converts to electrical energy. In hot climates, the temperature coefficient of power should be factored into efficiency calculations, because PV cell performance declines as cell temperature rises. PV modules are rated at a cell temperature of 250C, but in Singapore, where cell temperatures can reach over 700C, the loss in power output at 700C is measured as (70-25) x temperature coefficient. A lower coefficient is better for PV yield. Thin Film has a much lower temperature coefficient than Crystalline Silicon, therefore in effect, Thin Film is overall more efficient under high temperatures.
PV Location
Consideration was also given to the location of the PV panels that would optimise the output of the PV cells. Singapore is situated on the Equator, which means that PV panels are more suitable for flat roofs or sloped roofs. Steep roofs, facades and other vertical surfaces would not be suitable.
Findings and Recommendations
Based on our findings that many criteria, including cost, are quite comparable, and that Thin Film is actually more efficient in Singapore's hot climate with overcast skies, the project team felt that the criterion of panel reflectivity was a key deciding factor, given that the Centre is located close to many high-rise residential flats. If Crystalline PV panels were to be used, when the sun shines on 2,400 sqm of glazed panels placed on the roof, the PV panels would be like a huge mirror, causing glare problems to residents both near and far. This was ascertained to be a high probability and high risk scenario. Hence, it was a unanimous decision among the team members that Thin Film be recommended to the client as the most appropriate system to use.♦

Using Identity-Based Policies (IAM Policies) for Amazon RDS
This topic provides examples of identity-based policies in which an account administrator can attach permissions policies to IAM identities (that is, users, groups, and roles).
We recommend that you first review the introductory topics that explain the basic concepts and options available for you to manage access to your Amazon RDS resources. For more information, see Overview of Managing Access Permissions to Your Amazon RDS Resources.
The sections in this topic cover the following:
The following is an example of an IAM policy:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AllowCreateDBInstanceOnly", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "rds:CreateDBInstance" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:rds:*:123456789012:db:test*", "arn:aws:rds:*:123456789012:og:default*", "arn:aws:rds:*:123456789012:pg:default*", "arn:aws:rds:*:123456789012:subgrp:default" ], "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "rds:DatabaseEngine": "mysql", "rds:DatabaseClass": "db.t2.micro" } } } ] }
The policy includes a single statement that specifies the following permissions for the IAM user:
The policy allows the IAM user to create a DB instance using the CreateDBInstance API action (this also applies to the create-db-instance AWS CLI command and the AWS Management Console).
Resourceelement specifies that the user can perform actions on or with resources. You specify resources using an Amazon Resources Name (ARN). This ARN includes the name of the service that the resource belongs to (
rds), the AWS Region (
*indicates any region in this example), the user account number (
123456789012is the user ID in this example), and the type of resource. For more information about creating ARNs, see Working with Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in Amazon RDS.
Resourceelement in the example specifies the following policy constraints on resources for the user:
The DB instance identifier for the new DB instance must begin with
test(for example,
The option group for the new DB instance must begin with
The DB parameter group for the new DB instance must begin with
The subnet group for the new DB instance must be the
defaultsubnet group.
Conditionelement specifies that the DB engine must be MySQL and the DB instance class must be
db.t2.micro. The
Conditionelement specifies the conditions when a policy should take effect. You can add additional permissions or restrictions by using the
Conditionelement. For more information about specifying conditions, see Using IAM Policy Conditions for Fine-Grained Access Control.
The policy doesn't specify the
Principal element because in an
identity-based policy you don't specify the principal who gets the permission.
When you attach policy to a user, the user is the implicit principal. When you attach
permission policy to an IAM role, the principal identified in the role's trust policy
gets the

For a user to work with the Amazon RDS console, that user must have a minimum set of permissions. These permissions allow the user to describe the Amazon RDS resources for their AWS account and to provide other related information, including Amazon EC2 security and network information.
If you create an IAM policy that is more restrictive than the minimum required
permissions, the console won't function as intended for users with that IAM policy.
ensure that those users can still use the Amazon RDS console, also attach the
AmazonRDSReadOnlyAccess managed policy to the user, as described in
AWS Managed (Predefined) Policies for Amazon RDS.
You don't need to allow minimum console permissions for users that are making calls only to the AWS CLI or the Amazon RDS API.
AWS Managed (Predefined) Policies for Amazon RDS
AWS addresses many common use cases by providing standalone IAM policies that are created and administered by AWS. Managed policies grant necessary permissions for common use cases so you can avoid having to investigate what permissions are needed. For more information, see AWS Managed Policies in the IAM User Guide.
The following AWS managed policies, which you can attach to users in your account, are specific to Amazon RDS:
AmazonRDSReadOnlyAccess – Grants read-only access to all Amazon RDS resources for the root AWS account.
AmazonRDSFullAccess – Grants full access to all Amazon RDS resources for the root AWS account.
You can also create custom IAM policies that allow users to access the required Amazon RDS API actions and resources. You can attach these custom policies to the IAM users or groups that require those permissions.
Customer Managed Policy Examples
In this section, you can find example user policies that grant permissions for various Amazon RDS actions. These policies work when you are using RDS API actions, AWS SDKs, or the AWS CLI. When you are using the console, you need to grant additional permissions specific to the console, which is discussed in Permissions Required to Use the Amazon RDS Console.
All examples use the US West (Oregon) Region (
us-west-2) and
contain fictitious account IDs.
Example 1: Allow a User to Perform Any Describe Action on Any RDS Resource
The following permissions policy grants permissions to a user to run all
of the actions that begin with
Describe. These actions show
information about an RDS resource, such as a DB instance. The wildcard
character (*) in the
Resource element indicates that the
actions are allowed for all Amazon RDS resources owned by the account.
{ "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement":[ { "Sid":"AllowRDSDescribe", "Effect":"Allow", "Action":"rds:Describe*", "Resource":"*" } ] }
Example 2: Allow a User to Create a DB Instance That Uses the Specified DB Parameter and Security Groups
The following permissions policy grants permissions to allow a user to only create
a DB instance that must use
mysql-production DB parameter group and the
db-production DB security group.
{ "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement":[ { "Sid":"AllowMySQLProductionCreate", "Effect":"Allow", "Action":"rds:CreateDBInstance", "Resource":[ "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:pg:mysql-production", "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:secgrp:db-production" ] } ] }
Example 3: Prevent a User from Deleting a DB Instance
The following permissions policy grants permissions to prevent a user from deleting a specific DB instance. For example, you might want to deny the ability to delete your production instances to any user that is not an administrator.
{ "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement":[ { "Sid":"DenyDelete1", "Effect":"Deny", "Action":"rds:DeleteDBInstance", "Resource":"arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:db:my-mysql-instance" } ] }

Welcome, John Kellden!
An interesting approach, here. It seems to me that you are assuming that we already know the 'definition of astrology', such that we now need to somehow allow that definition to emerge. I would appreciate an elucidation here; the basis of your assumption would be critical to the determination of how to proceed, I would think. Or have I missed your meaning?

Thus presumably producing an accessible compilation of such general agreement that exists?

The history of this sort of discussion, on this list in particular as well as all such discussions in general, is a testiment to the efficacy, or lack thereof, of all these approaches. Each requires its own contexts of assumed knowledge, disposition of intellectual and philosophical inclination, etc., etc.. Personal points of view, in this regard, become problematic as it becomes clear that those contexts are not readily accessible, even by the view-holder. Any successful starting point requires the majority of participants to be at least on the same course... the same book if not the same page, as it were. It's been my experience that this swamp breeds alligators that defend the swamp against all attempts to drain it... ("If you're up to your arse in alligators, it's sometimes difficult to remember that the original objective was to drain the swamp!": SE US ruralism).

Science is first and foremost a methodology for accruing knowledge, which is why the eponymous body of knowledge exists. It is a very closely defined and rigorously vetted body of knowledge, and it exists for an equally closely defined purpose, the essence of which to support the further and successful use of science as a methodology.

Metaphorically, your meaning seems clear, but perhaps not adequate to support the invocation of science as part and parcel thereof. I've held forth on the subject elsewhere, as list members are no doubt all too well aware < grin > , so I'll not wax eloquent (?) here. Science does not intend to address the meaning of things, it is interested simply in the facts themselves, the determination of which is more than enough to comprise a huge endeavor all by itself. It can, then, be usefully seen as the source of a body of knowledge, and this is indeed traditional.
What science cannot and has never intended to do, as I said, is to determine the meaning or significance of (a) thing(s). Here, we are dealing with philosophy (the love of wisdom), which requires that not only the body of knowledge be amassed, but its usefulness be addressed as well. The use of science, in the minds of many and for good reason, is technology, but that is shortsighted, I suggest. Science is reliable knowledge, with that reliability as closely defined as possible, and as such can be the basis of an indeterminately wide range of insights and understanding. And it is these insights and understandings which are largely our concern here. The whole idea is to a) find out what we know and how we know it so that we can learn what we don't know, and b) discover how to use that knowledge for our benefit. This is science and philosophy. This is the body and soul of any knowledge, and it is so for astrology as well. Or should be.

I think you are presenting astrology as the intellectual and philosophical construct itself, as separate from the terrestrial/celestial correspondences (?) that it was developed to represent. I agree, as must many others, that astrology as a philosophical construct is, in itself, indeed a very powerful source of insight into the nature of things. It should be so, I suggest, because that is what it was devised to be. But the larger problem of astrology is in the practice thereof, and can be stated rather succinctly as the virtually complete absence of any demonstration of its validity, at least as it traditionally represents itself. That validity does not concern itself with the construct itself, but with the assertion that it represents some significant aspect of objective reality.
So I suggest that your ideas are very useful, but that they do not address the complete spectrum of astrology's deficiencies, such as are the purview of our discussions here. I don't believe that we know what that objective reality is, that astrology was devised to represent, and that is probably the most important problem. I would agree, however, that if we were to better understand the construct itself, we might have a better idea how to discover that reality.

As I said, welcome!
Incidentally, Fran is right about citations, at least to the extent that was published here. I'm sure it was not John's intention, but my entire last post, headers and all, came trailing along after his. Email software does this all by itself, all too often, unless it is told not to do so. Nuff said?
And then, our moderator, declares < grin >

The issue of citations is also about paying heavy rates for download time, or so I understand. This doesn't apply to me, but I'm told that there are those elsewhere who connect to their ISP's only to up and download email because of the exorbitant rates, and in some cases pay for ISP storage as well. I can well understand how this might still be, even though technology should have resolved these problems.
Also, plowing through endless citation to find the meat of the message is not only tiresome but distracting. Heavy citation that is contribution specific, ie, that provides immediate context, is useful, of course... but the lengthy inclusion of the entire thread with, for instance, a simple "I agree." at the top or bottom is a classic no-no, the avoidance of which is basic good sense as well as good manners. If you wish to pepper someone's post with interspersed commentary, then you are offering a dialog where the whole is of interest, and although that also has been frowned upon for technical reasons, that should no longer be a concern.
Or so it seems from here. < grin >

I would also suggest that the issue of credibility usually does have some root, although reliability is not always the root. Issues do often have linch-pins, however, and are best resolved by direct treatment thereof.. at least as a major part of the resolution.

I've mentioned the subject of clinical data elsewhere, so won't do the whole song and dance here. There are members of this list that are much better qualified to address this than am I, but the point is that this sort of testing requires some pretty strong protocols to have any chance at being meaningful. My assertion is that if such protocols can be put in place and effected, such tests as Fran suggests can become only the tip of the iceberg... no 'perhaps' about it!!....lol!!!
Clinical data is the substance that makes research possible, that allows the investigator to base ideas and possible insights on something other than hearsay or speculation. And it is clinical data that is the source of the advances in most fields of knowledge.... it isn't universally called clinical data, but that's what it amounts to, I suggest. So, what is clinical data?
It is data that is gathered according to well agreed and well understood rules of procedure, commonly using a language devised for that purpose so that ambiguity and miscomprehension are reduced as far as possible. It is data that is gathered from the field of interest itself, without prejudice or interpretation. When one looks at a clinical report, one discovers the facts stated as clearly and concisely as possible, and that's what is necessary if they are to be at all useful in any attempt at discerning their meaning.
Astrology has no clinical data. Astrology has no clinical protocols. These lacks stand in front of the substance of astrological experience and deny all attempts to make any use thereof: such attempts universally sink into the quicksand of intermidable disagreement of any and all particulars, there to dissolve into nothingness.
My question here is: given this, how do we proceed?

A clarion call!!!! Now. Where are those "big brains"? I've been standing on this stage blowing the bugle for years now, and a "big brain" shows up now and again, mostly creating 'teasers'.
Can it be that all the "big brains" have already done what they're going to do, and decline to extend themselves to this exercise? I sure hope not! Why do I hope not? Because the job hasn't been done!!!!!!
Maybe one of those BBs can tell us what is lacking here!? I gotta believe that someone subscribed to this list is either a BB, or knows one. Come on, people!!!

Well, all hyperbole aside... < grin > , Dennis certainly qualifies, I think. And then there is Andre Donnell, Dale Huckeby, Ed Falis, Bill Sheeran... off the top of my head.. and I'm sure I've just snubbed someone here....lol!!! I, too, want to express my appreciation for all of these contributions.
But don't stop now!!! I, at least, have so many more questions!!!!

What happens as a person approaches death?
Few families are truly prepared for what transpires as an individual approaches death and your hospice team can help you with your questions. During times of grief, the natural approach of death can become overwhelming and many find comfort in knowing what to expect. Whereas there is no easy way to expect the loss of a family member or friend, having an idea of what is to come may take away some of the shock.
Typically the body begins to cool and this starts in the hands and the arms and the legs and the feet. This shows that the circulation of blood is decreasing and being used for the vital organs. You can help your loved one stay warm by covering them lightly with a blanket.
Your loved one will spend a lot of time sleeping and will often times be unresponsive or difficult to wake. This change is due to changes in the metabolism of the body and should not be alarming. There is no need to be speak loudly during this time and you can converse with your loved one as you normally would regardless of response. Even though your loved one may not acknowledge what you are saying hearing is one of the last senses to go.
Your loved one maybe confused and have difficulty identifying the people surrounding them. It's important to identify yourself to your loved one and to speak clearly and concisely. You may also hear chest congestion in the lungs and this is due to the decrease of fluid intake. You can gently assist your loved one by turning their head to the side to allow the secretions to be released.
There is no easy way to say good-bye to someone that is dying but being aware of the final stages may make it possible for you to ascertain that you need to bid farewell. Tears are a natural part of the process and an expression of love and do not need to be hidden from your loved one. The grieving process that follows is also a natural part of losing a loved one.

dilemma: Greek for "two premises," likened to accepting the painful and dangerous impaling of your choice of a bull's left or right horn.
PuppetGov's sharp 5-minutes of our dilemma:
1-minute of logic with option to creatively respond to the false choice of being on the "horns of a dilemma":
Americans are faced with the false choice in the 2016 presidential election between the Left and Right arms of one US rogue state. The Left had to steal the primary elections, demonstrated in a report by the President of the American Statistical Association (the single most prestigious and authoritative for statistics), but this is just the latest move of the rogue state.
Americans should reject both the Left and Right horn.
Americans who vote for Hillary or Trump are voting to continue the following policies, with 95%+ who would never agree if honestly briefed on the facts:
- All the wars were started with "reasons" known to be false as they were told. We know this absolutely from now-disclosed government agency documents. Did you know?
- The wars are Orwellian unlawful; not even close to legal. If there's one law responsible citizens must know, and to honor the awful sacrifices of all our families through not one but two world wars, it's war law. Did you know?
- The reason all levels of total debt increase is a Robber Baron-era system of fundamental criminal fraud to create what we use for money as debt owed to private banks, the principals of which are the "too big to fails." The top 20 Americans now own more than the bottom 50%, the .1% own more than the bottom 90%, and the 1% are more wealthy than the 99%. Did you know?
- The real solutions to correct the Robber Baron-era system are monetary reform (direct creation of debt-free money for productive infrastructure) and public banks (at-cost and in-house credit to reduce government borrowing costs by 50%). For just one example: if your state had their own bank with a 5% mortgage and credit card, all state taxes are abundantly paid for, with no other taxation ever needed. The benefits of just a few reforms are conservatively calculated to $1,000,000 per average US household. Literally, you have nothing more valuable for your time than to learn this. Did you know?
Of course, almost all Americans don't know.
I use rogue state in its academic meaning: a nation constantly breaking international law with both threat and harm to others, ruled by authoritarians who restrict rights and proliferate weapons of mass destruction. Since WW2, Earth has had 248 armed conflicts. The US started 201 of them (81%). These ongoing illegal Wars of Aggression have killed ~30 million and counting; 90% of these deaths are innocent children, the elderly and ordinary working civilian women and men. The sum of 30 million means the US has war-murdered more than Hitler's Nazis. Did you know?
If you need further evidence of election fraud through unaccountable electronic voting machines, "leadership" and corporate media manipulated primaries, and the general characteristics of both Clinton and Trump beyond being illegal rogue state supporters driving We the People further and further into debt slavery, look here, here, here, here, here, here, here for further documentation as clear as we've covered so far.
There is an alternative to voting for bullshit democracy: Demand .01% arrests
The responsible citizen response to these Emperor's New Clothes obvious crimes centered in war, money, and lies is to demand arrests of US Left and Right .01% leaders.
Please read that sentence again to appreciate its elegant power and truth.
The alternative is to lie to one's self, nation, and global community to allow ongoing crimes that annually kill millions, harm billions, and loot trillions. This is not a responsible alternative, let alone to take the criminal fraud further to vote the Left or Right's chosen puppet to bullshit for further crimes.
In fact, unless one wishes to condone, bond, and join such evil and bullshit, one cannot vote for it. If one wishes to stand as an American under our ideals and Constitution, one must demand arrests for such outrageous crimes.
The categories of crime include:
- Wars of Aggression (the worst crime a nation can commit).
- Likely treason for lying to US military, ordering unlawful attack and invasions of foreign lands, and causing thousands of US military deaths.
- Crimes Against Humanity for ongoing intentional policy of poverty that's killed over 400 million human beings just since 1995 (~75% children; more deaths than from all wars in Earth's recorded history).
US military, law enforcement, and all with Oaths to support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, face an endgame choice:
- Demand arrests, with those with lawful authority to enact it. An arrest is the lawful action to stop apparent crimes, with the most serious crimes documented here meaning the most serious need for arrests.
- Watch the US escalate its rogue state crimes under President Clinton or President Trump.
In just 90 seconds, former US Marine Ken O'Keefe powerfully states how you may choose to voice "very obvious solutions": arrest the criminal leaders (video starts at 20:51, then finishes this episode of Cross Talk):

Northeast Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine has 2 locations in Ithaca. Our primary office is located at 10 Graham Road West in Ithaca. This location is near the Ithaca Mall and across the street from the YMCA. Our second location is on the West side at 1290 Trumansburg Road and is located very close to our community hospital, Cayuga Medical Center.
Yes, we understand that illness in children often occurs suddenly and needs prompt attention. We reserve time throughout our day for same day sick visits. Whenever possible, we try to book your sick appointment with your primary care physician or midlevel that you see for well exams. There may be times when it is necessary for you to see another provider in order to best accommodate your needs.
Northeast Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine participates with most local private health plans including New York State Medicaid and Managed Medicaid Plans. Please see our Billing section for further information about your insurance. If you can't find the answer there, call our Billing Office at 607-257-5958.
Monday through Friday our reception staff begin to take calls at 7:00 am. We continue to take calls throughout the day until 5:00 pm . On Saturdays, we begin to answer phones at 8:00 am for urgent sick visits and continue until 11:30 am.
Pediatricians are specially educated and trained in diagnosing and treating illnesses in infants, children and adolescents. We have a great deal of specialization in infectious diseases specifically in children. Isn't it best to have the experts diagnose and treat such an illness so that the child — and the community — have the best chance of fighting it? Pediatricians are not just about shots and growth charts either. We are concerned with your child's entire spectrum of evelopment — physical, mental, social and emotional.
There is a Pediatrician available to answer your medical questions 7 days per week, 24 hours a day, even after our office is closed. When you call us after hours, your information will be collected by our answering service and sent to the Pediatrician on call who will return your call promptly.
In December of 2012, Northeast Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Buttermilk Falls Pediatrics , and Cayuga Medical Center joined forces to create Kids Care, an afterhours clinic staffed by pediatricians and pediatrics nurses. For more information, click here.

I experienced a weird combination of ailments that left me exhausted and cramped within a few miles. It started with exhausting travel. Brandi and I traveled to Ohio for our post-wedding celebration. Upon arrival, I swelled up like a balloon with edema, gaining 10 lbs of water weight and holding it. The heat and humidity were overwhelming. We spent every day of the week working and preparing for the party. I managed a few decent runs, but felt really wiped out after. I think I picked up some kind of low grade flu toward the end of the trip with fever and some light body aches. Another day of flying and driving rounded out the trip.
Finally, we got to Wyoming and our awesome cabin in Burgess Junction. The thin air was cool and delicious after that Ohio swamp. Moose were everywhere- even in our front yard. Still, I could not shake this overwhelming fatigue. Lingering pains in my left shin and right hip flexor caused me lots of concern.
|Swamp Donkeys.
B sent me on my way with fresh bottles and calories. I rallied a bit in the next miles before sinking into a deep low point. Now the quads were seized. I mean full on baseball-above-the-knee seized. The right quad began pulling sharply on my questionable right hip flexor sharply. By bear camp, I could barely lift my right leg. Coming down The Wall, I tripped continuously over rocks because my right leg just would not lift. It felt like my hip flexor was pulling out of my pelvis. I made the call to limp in and bag it at the Footbridge. I was in around 9th, at the time. Michelle Lance and her wonderful daughters Charlie and Robbie (yep) were so kind to give me a lift all the way up to Devils Canyon Road to Brandi. Needless to say, she was surprised to see me showing up in a car instead of by trail. Michelle's strong husband Kelly finished in the top 10. Great people. I hope to repay their kindness someday.
I am happy with making the tough call to drop. I spared myself much of the damage that was happening in my hip. I am improving and will be back to my 100 training soon. I am not second-guessing my training or preparation for this race. I am in much better shape than ever. It was the logistics of the travel that did me in. Live and Learn. I am really impressed with the terrain and organization of the race. A well-oiled machine. I would like to try again some day.
I am hungry for redemption and will walk that path soon...

Reggie Wayne did something on Monday night that only eight players in NFL history had done before him: Reach the 1,000th catch of his career.
In the fourth quarter at San Diego, Wayne reeled in a pass from Andrew Luck that gave him 1,000 in his 13-year career, good for a tie with Hines Ward (who retired with exactly 1,000 catches) for eighth most all-time.
The only other players who have reached the 1,000-catch mark are Jerry Rice, Tony Gonzalez, Marvin Harrison, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, Terrell Owens and Isaac Bruce.
Although Wayne probably won't catch Gonzalez on the career receptions list, and almost certainly won't catch Rice, he could catch his old teammate Harrison (who retired with 1,102 catches) as soon as next season. That would put Wayne at No. 3 all time, and would give Wayne a strong case for induction in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

bold, bright "freshest polos" to influential PGA Professionals and golf retailers. The clothing line is intended to reach the millennial markets and brings a whole level of excitement to the game. During the PGA Fashion & Demo Experience, Aug. 14-15, 2018,
at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas Naughty Boy Golf will introduce their latest collection entitled, "Swagger" and also debut their new line for females called Naughty Babe Golf. Naughty Boy Golf is a lifestyle brand willing to push the envelope and grow with passion for the game by creating hip, fresh, bold and daring golf wear. Naughty Boy Golf has started a revolution in the golf apparel industry.
About NAUGHTY BOY GOLF
Naughty Boy Golf is a unique company with edgy designs that appeals to a younger demographic and golfers who not only want to fearlessly conquer but who also want to revolutionize, lead, and most of all uplift the love for the game through individuality. Naughty Boy Golf is in the business of creating quality, awesome polos for only the most passionate players out there.
Naughty Boy Golf believes in providing the world's best, most badass, bodacious, savage, swag polos. Again, they have arrived to start a revolution. "Golf is the most epic sport in the world, but why do the players look like they all have the same shirts on?" says Adams, NBG's founder and visionary. "We are claiming to have the world's best polo because we have been told that not only can our polos improve your golf swing swagger by 75% but someone is bound to say great polo where did you get that?" To their point, they will set you apart from the rest. First and most importantly, when wearing a Naughty Boy Golf Polo the wearer will be noticed from 200 yards away, and as a warning to the wearer expect compliments from PGA pros and cart girls. Some of the comments made have been, "Wow awesome shirt you must be a pro!" Not only are the polos silky smooth perfection but are wrinkle free and top performance material. The designs include everything from bright zig-zags, gigantic herringbone, green tiger print, shamrocks, argyle. The polos are designed with intellect and are not just a printed shirt. There is also a nice classic mix of prints for the
bespoke golfer. Each design is a statement in itself and is titled with certain meaning. Examples include: "Get em Tiger", "Savage baby", "Feel like a beast", "It's Saturday Boys", "Lucky" the list is endless. These polos cannot be found in your "grandpa's" wardrobe. The fit of each garment is important also, there is perfection in the arms and chest not a lot of extra material to bunch and they
can be worn untucked. For this season, Naughty Boy Golf is presenting bold "text" printed polos that read FORE, BIRDIE,LUCKY, AMEN. Not to mention their amazing world map printed polo too. They will also present a matching polo and skort collection for the NAUGHTY BABES out there due to so many inquiries. Naughty Babe will include metallics, ruffles, leopard, smart but sassy designs. New to the brand are matching golf towels with scratchy abrasive backsides that golfers love.
The company founded by award winning designer Patricia Fistes-Adams who also designs an avant-garde line called Barking Fire Couture. They are based in Arizona and California. According to Adams, her interest in golf peaked when she was bored and unimpressed with what the players are wearing. "Some of the designs that are out there of late look outdated and the clothing looks like the players borrowed shirts from their grandfather. To explain, grandpa called wants his shirt back type of vibe. I hope to bring youth and energy, spunk...I have the highest regard, great passion and love for the game so I don't want to come across irreverent by any means." She also says, "Regardless of all the challenges a golfer faces, I am impressed with how much they still love the game. I have seen clubs launch in the air, temper tantrums, clubs sitting next to trash cans because
the player thinks they have given up, divorce due to purchasing one too many new drivers, but ultimately they all manage to go back to the addictive game. Golf is literally calling and without reservation the players pick up and answer.... no messages left. I respect the golfers out there who work hard but play hard." According to Adams, the goal of Naughty Boy Golf is to design and create a lifestyle brand with a fresh, funky and dominating approach. Her goal is to create a vibe that is not trendy but reveals to the young, swagger golfer. The success of Naughty Boy Golf has experienced this past year is impressive and demonstrates Adams' ability to dominate this untapped area of golf apparel. Naughty Boy Golf has showcased their collection at the PGA Fashion Show with the Big Boys in Orlando last February. Also, Naughty Boy Golf currently has a full page feature in the Official PGA Tour Essential Guide to Golf magazine that should reach millions of viewers over the next six months. NBG's instagram following is at 35,000 and continues to grow on a daily basis. All of the Naughty Boy Products are produced in the USA, small batches but they are able to mass produce large quantities as well. The polos are priced as the most expensive polos on the market and demand $165.00 each. Currently their designs are offered on their website NBGGOLF.COM . Naughty Boy Golf has also been commissioned to design wardrobe for a pilot series staring hosts Jason Connery, son of Sean Connery, world renowned golf historian Roger McStravick, and well
known British personality Di Dougherty to be filmed at St.Andrew's this month.
Naughty Boy Golf will continue to grow in 2018 and eventually dominate because of their undying relentlessness and passion for revolutionizing golf wear. Expect to see the freshest, boldest, most daring designs on and off the courses around the world. If name is any indication, know that Naughty Boy Golf has arrived and is here to revolutionize the way the world views golf and naughty. Naughty Boy Golf has found an untapped niche in the golf apparel industry and will continue to succeed in this area because of their dedication to becoming the world's number one golf brand. "We are about challenge and conquest, having no fear, most importantly having fun." says Adams.
MAKING CLOTHING HIP, FRESH and LESS boring. Tiger is not the only Naughty Boy out there.

Using custom URL parameters in WordPress
Sometimes when you are building WordPress sites you need to pass a parameter via the URL like this:
The problem is that WordPress is designed to reject any URL query parameters that it doesn't recognise so your URL parameter will be dropped before you get a chance to use it.
The solution
Step 1
We need to tell WordPress about the new parameter(s) we will be sending via the URL. We want WordPress to recognise any url parameter sent in the format 'http://www.yoursite.com?myvar=hello' in any page on our WordPress site.
The easiest way to do this is to create a WordPress plugin that uses a query filter to tell WordPress about new parameters. Here's the plugin code:
/* Plugin Name: Parameter
Plugin URI: http://webopius.com/
Description: A plugin to allow parameters to be passed in the URL and recognized by WordPress
Author: Adam Boyse
Version: 1.0
Author URI: http://www.webopius.com/
add_filter('query_vars', 'parameter_queryvars' );
function parameter_queryvars( $qvars )
$qvars[] = 'myvar';
return $qvars;
The plugin is configured to add one new URL parameter name 'myvar' to WordPress. Just copy the above code to a new .php file which you then copy to the plugins directory of your WordPress install. You then need to activate the new plugin from within your WordPress admin screens.
Step 2.
Now from any WordPress page that you can add code to (e.g. Theme page) or your own standalone page that is WordPress aware you can use your variable like this:
global $wp_query;
if (isset($wp_query->query_vars['myvar']))
print $wp_query->query_vars['myvar'];

Hi, your code works great but is there any way I can make WordPress append my variable to other links so that if the visitor navigates to another page on the site, I can still use my variable?
e.g. http://www.mysite.com/contact?myvar=hello
View April 18, 2009
If you wanted to add the param to all post links, one way to do this would be to write a new filter for post_link and change the url's dynamically. See this page in the WordPress API for other link filters:
Why can't you use:
if (isset($_GET['myvar']))
That seems to work for simply checking if a there's a parameter in a URL
View June 18, 2009
You have a space in the quotes on the line:
$qvars[] = ' myvar';
Which will cause confusion…. 🙂

I recently had a situation in which I needed to pass a URL parameter into WordPress so that it could be inserted into all links off of a blog page. For example, a partner would pass traffic to a blog using the format http://www.myblog.com?refcode=joe. All links embedded in the post would need to pass the value of refcode if it existed, even if the visitor requested multiple pages after the initial visit. You can get plugin that will do this at:

Try this Mike:
Both refcode and refcode2 are available to be used as a short-code in your post. Make sure you go to settings and enter your two parameters that you want to use. I have tested two, but it should work for an unlimited number.

I've been trying to work with your plugin for a while. I've got a page named foreclosure and have a list of 1000 properties from my dbase. Each property has a short description, but I wanted to create a link to a detailed page for each property. I'm having a heck of a time getting each link to go to my template page and to pass the variable in the URL.
echo "". "More Detail>>" . "","\n";
Then on my detail page, I'm using the following code:
$result = mysql_query("select * from `bankowned` where `list number` = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["myvar"])."'") or die(mysql_error());
This config worked great on one of my other sites – but not on WordPress. Can you straighten me out?

I am new to WordPress and for some reason I can't seem to get this to work.
1. I got the plugin installed…
2. Where does the $wp-query go in my wp template page – before the loop in the loop…
3. Can I send a variable and what is the syntax
$mysidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sbg_selected_sidebar', true);
would the below be the correct syntax to append and do I add this to the end of my permalink in the permalink section?
where would I put the if (isset($_GET['myvar'])) i.e. can I put it in another template page and grab the url variable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This solution worked for me perfectly. However, I need to set a page on my wordpress as a "static page" (front page). As soon as I do that through "reading" under "setting" in admin panel, this stops working.

I'm surprised that no one seems to know any reason not to use _GET instead?
I think there's one reason to sometimes *do* use _GET though, namely if you switch theme based on a URL query string parameter. Theme switching would happen fairly early, and it seems to me that $wp_query->query_var hasn't been inited at that time.
View October 18, 2014
In step 2 you can do:
$myvar = get_query_var( 'myvar' );

The Union government has firmed up plans to shut down some 11,000 mw of thermal power generation capacities that are at least 25 years old and build bigger plants with total capacity of at least 20,000 mw on the same tract of land for estimated investments of Rs 70,000 crore, officials said.
The roadmap for shuttering at least 100 old units with capacities ranging from 60 mw to 220 mw was given a preliminary shape at a recent meeting between the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and state utilities. In their place, some 30-odd super critical units ranging between 660 mw and 800 mw will come up, CEA officials said.
This will lead to a savings of about Rs 40,000 crore on land acquisition as well infrastructure cost like rail and water linkages along with facilities like ash pond and power evacuation lines, they said. Coal supplied to the old plants would be fed into the units that would replace them.
It is estimated that a total capacity of about 36,000 mw in the country is more than 25 years old and these units could be replaced in phased manner Some of these plants are in good running conditions and have just undergone renovation and maintenance, allowing them to run for a few more years. However, all such plants will have to eventually down shutter and be replaced by new super critical units, CEA officials said.
They said replacement of old units by new super critical units was being encouraged by the government and the ministry of coal had already issued guidelines for automatic transfer of coal linkage from old and inefficient units to new super critical units.
"During the13th plan period, generation capacity of about 86,400 mw is likely to be added primarily through super critical units. Land being scarce, utilities need to explore possible options to utilise the existing land and other facilities in most effective manner," a senior power department official said.
"Thermal power units marked for closure are primarily ones that are faring very poorly in terms of capacity utilisation as well as other parameters. All such plants have been marked for closure by the government," the official said. According to data furnished by CEA, replacing sub-critical, old and inefficient thermal units with super critical units would enable effective utilisation of already available scarce resources like land, water and coal.

Haha great question Rachel. I don't know the answer. But I will venture to take a guess and say it is not a turkey. I think it is part of the big balloon archway that got popped. I looked in other pictures at the finish line and it is just laying there. So that would be my guess. :) Good eyes! I didn't actually notice that til you brought it up.

Then today it happened. I received an email. From someone asking to meet me. To have coffee and discuss teaching. She said,
"I love how you clearly have such excitement for your work, and that your zest for life is evident in everything you do, both in your personal work as well as the work you do with your students. Your site demonstrated to me qualities in teaching and just in my love for art that I want to strive to emulate."
Good grief Jenni. Of course there were a few tears because I'm crazy teary lately. And then it hit me. I am very good at what I do. Teaching, inspiring and encouraging others. Thus why after her email I got on the stick and started thinking about the future. Maybe teaching in Portland wasn't the right place for me right now. But somewhere else might be perfect!
So, I've drafted Tiffin to help me make some media stuff for summer workshops. LOTS of summer workshops. AND.....tomorrow I start the research for how to create an online course. I get emails weekly asking for it. Duh Jenni. It's time.
So Christine thank you. For the lovely email. And yes....coffee sounds great!


text: I never get sick of looking at photos from Colorado mountain weddings in the fall—a sun-drenched grove of aspen trees makes for such a pretty backdrop (case in point: the lovely real wedding at SaddleRidge in Beaver Creek featured in our current issue of Brides Colorado.) Since aspen trees are so quintessentially Colorado, I love the idea of including an aspen tree planting in your wedding ceremony. At Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park, couples can opt to have a brief presentation of aspen saplings accompanied by a description of how the trees support and rely upon each other as they grow together. The bride and groom each add a scoop of earth during the ceremony to a container holding the trees, which are later planted on the Della Terra property, which is surrounded by the Rocky Mountain National Park. The wedding ceremony is often followed with guests tossing colorful aspen leaves on the couple as they recess. The cutest part: the Chateau has 14 luxury suites, so you can revisit the venue for future anniversaries as see "your" aspen trees grow. —Lauren Matthews, Brides Colorado
