Venus in Capricorn, Mars in LeoVenus and Mars Combinations
What are the signs of Venus and Mars in your natal chart? Venus-Mars combinations
tell a lot about a person's romantic and sexual style.
Each Venus-Mars combination is interpreted in terms of elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water) and is then refined in terms of signs. Thus Venus in Aries (a Fire sign) and Mars in Taurus (an Earth sign), for example, will have the same elemental interpretation as Venus in Leo (a Fire sign) and Mars in Capricorn (an Earth sign). Note that some interpretations are forthcoming. |

Venus in Earth, Mars in Fire (Romantic Earth, Fiery Desires):
At times, you are torn between the desire for an "ordinary" life and the
need for adventure and excitement. This is because you need a good
measure of reliability in a romantic relationship in order to feel
loved, but you also require a fair dose of emotional energy and a sense
of movement. You are somewhat possessive in love, and you absolutely
hate to be ignored. You are a sensualist at heart, and you prefer to
slow down to let yourself take in everything; yet your sexual nature is
quick, somewhat impatient, and to the point! As such, you have a
contradictory nature on romantic and sexual levels, and you may not only
confuse a partner, but also yourself at times! As sensual as you are,
the experience is also extremely important to you. You look for a
partner who is reliable and practical. Romantically speaking, you are
quite content and somewhat traditional. Sexually speaking, you love the
chase and the conquest. Your needs for both spontaneity and forethought
in relationships may seem conflicting--and at times this will be a
challenge. However, if you can maintain a relationship that is secure
and adventurous at the same time, you will be at your happiest.
Venus and Mars in signs that are quincunx: The things that please you romantically and the things that please you sexually are quite different. What makes you feel loved and desired does not necessarily satisfy you on the level of desire and instinct, and vice versa. One partner could have a hard time attempting to fill your needs. As a result, you could be quite a handful; or, you may find ways to separate your romantic and sexual needs and thus satisfy them individually. You may also need to work on asserting yourself in relationships—either you avoid asserting your needs, or you assert yourself erratically and ineffectively until you learn to integrate your own differing needs.

The data strongly suggest that progression of parkinsonian signs in old age is associated with decline in cognitive function and the development of AD. Gait disorders and rigidity may be seen in subjects with subcortical lacunes and (pre)frontal white matter lesions (3-5), and periventricular cerebral white matter lesions have also been shown to predict rate of cognitive decline (6). The reasons for the predominant signs of progression of both parkinsonian-like signs and cognitive decline seen in this cohort are unclear, since the authors did not perform CCT or MRI studies to exclude or to measure such subcortical and prefrontal lesions that may also be associated with AD or with atypical parkinsonian syndromes.
However, even without further discussion of this open question, their data on the correlation between progression of extrapyramidal signs and the development of AD largely parallel our personal experience with a cohort of 200 autopsy-proven PD patients from a specialized Austrian brain bank (90 males, 104 females, mean age at onset of 68.6, SD 9.5 years, and an average disease duration of 8.4, SD 9.65 years) (2). Retrospective assessment of major initial clinical symptoms (tremor, akinesia, rigidity), moderate/severe dementia (MMSE < 20), and duration of illness were correlated with associated AD pathology using CERAD, Braak, and NIA-Reagan institute criteria. While gender had no influence on the clinical motor symptoms and outcome, tremor-dominant-type PD had a significantly better outcome than akinetic-rigid forms (p = .022), even after adjusting for age at onset and associated AD pathology. Patients with late onset showed significantly shorter duration of illness, irrespective of dementia. Moderate to severe dementia, reported in 33 percent of the sample, was significantly correlated with neuritic AD pathology (all three postmortem criteria) that showed significantly negative correlation with survival (p < 0.001).
Comparison of 32 patients (12 males, 20 females) with old-age onset of PD (mean age 82.4, SD 3.2 years) with 94 patients with middle-age onset (44-66, mean age 61.8, SD 9.8 years) showed that the duration of old-age-onset PD, ranging from 1-10 (mean 4.3, SD 2.2) years, was significantly shorter than that of middle-age onset (2-38, mean 10.5, SD 9.3) years (unpubl. data). This difference was similar to that found in the whole sample between patients with coexistent severe neuritic AD pathology (CERAD B or C, Braak stages 4.5-5) showing a mean survival of 4.46 (SD 3.55) years compared to 10.1 (SD 9.3) years in the patients without dementia and/or severe AD. Severe dementia (MMSE < 15) was significantly more frequent in PD patients with old-age onset than in those with onset under 66 years of age (72.0 vs. 11.7 percent; p < 0.001).
Most of the demented old-age-onset PD patients showed coexistent high-grade AD pathology (Braak stages 4-5, mean 4.7), and AD pathology was almost as severe (Braak stages 3-5, mean 4.5) in demented middle-age-onset patients. The finding that old age at onset is associated with more rapid disease process and increased incidence of dementia due to coexistent autopsy-proven AD pathology in this cohort is in keeping with the findings by Wilson et al. that progression of parkinsonian-like signs in old age is associated with decline in cognitive function and the development of AD. The strong association of dementia with frequently underlying AD pathology in both PD and non-PD patients may not only be a marker of an ongoing pathologic process inducing both dementia and parkinsonian-like signs that may reduce survival. It may also emphasize the importance of therapeutic approaches targeting progression of both dementia and parkinsonism—in particular, gait disorders and rigidity—in older persons, in order to improve their quality of life and life expectancy. However, as stated above, one should try to elucidate the causes of gait/posture disorders without classical PD signs and symptoms using CCT and MRI in order to exclude other treatable conditions, even in old-age subjects.

This prospective study followed 224 diagnosed PD patients drawn from among 220,000 residents of western Norway, who were free of dementia at baseline. Patients received two clinical examinations by a neurologist at study onset. Patients and their caregivers were interviewed to establish a history of their disease. Collected data included demographics, drug therapy information, history of hallucinations while on anti-PD drugs, motor symptoms information, laboratory tests. DSM-III-R criteria, plus three rating scales for cognitive impairment served to diagnose dementia. During follow-up examinations four and eight years later, two physicians evaluated study participants for dementia using cognitive screening, neuropsychological testing, and a clinical interview.
The control group consisted of 3,295 residents of Odense, Denmark, who were aged 65 to 84 and did not have PD. For this group, a diagnosis of dementia was made and follow-up evaluations were conducted two and five years after the baseline evaluation.
In the PD group, 139 participants were evaluated at the four-year follow up, and 87 at eight years. At baseline, 26 percent (51 cases) of the PD study subject group were diagnosed with dementia; 43 additional cases were diagnosed four years later, and 28 new cases were identified at the eight-year point, totaling 122 cases of dementia among the PD group. This means a prevalence for dementia among PD patients of 78.2 percent (95 percent CI, 71.1-84.0 percent) at the eight-year follow-up, whereas the five-year prevalence in the control group was 18.5 percent. Logistic regression analysis identified hallucinations prior to baseline examination and mixed tremor/akinetic PD as significant predictors of dementia. The extended periods of time between evaluations lead to loss of subjects at each follow-up point, suggesting that dementia rates among PD patients may be even higher than recorded here, the authors note. This potential consequence of Parkinson's should be addressed. See also Wilson et al., 2003. View all comments by Virginia LeeView all comments by John Trojanowski

Ya might try:
One Burnside St.
Bristol, R.I.
E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
And Sigfrid ol' friend, it's L.F.
It is L. Francis Herreshoff, and Mystic Seaport Museum has his plans. www.mysticseaport.org is the website, 1-860-572-0711 the telephone, and it is the Ships Plans Department you want.
I know of one local fellow who actually built a Mobjack from the offsets shown in the book itself and what a beauty she is.
The rights to L.F.H.'s (Not to be confused with Nathaniel, his father) designs were held by Muriel Vaughn, L.F.H.'s executrix. I heard a couple of years ago that Ms. Vaughn's daughter, whose name is Margaret, I believe, is now in charge of them and lives in Petaluma, CA. I met Muriel Vaughn back in the seventies and she was a very nice lady and had wonderful Herreshoff stories. She was particularly troubled by all the (lousey) boats being built from pirated lines and being called "Herreshoffs." Sadly, I'd suspect Muriel has passed on by now. All of us must respect the intellectual property of our NA's if we are to continue to see the good stuff produced by them. Check the index here.. I vaguely remember someone had listed Margaret (?) Vaughn's address here.
I believe I am correct that Mystic Seaport Museum now owns not only the LFH plans but the "right to build". This was in negotiation a year ago and I am sure concluded. Ships Plans Department at the Museum.
Could be... could be. Everything makes its way to Mystic or the Smithsonian eventually.. thank God! I'm a little less sympathetic to paying designer's commissions to museums, especially publicly funded ones. NA's and their heirs, yes. But... eventually this stuff should make its way to the public domaine if we are paying to have it conserved in public museums... don't you think?
Gee, Bob, isn't donating them to museums a way to help defray the taxpayer's cost, at least theoretically? On a related note, what happens to said designs when their ancestors have no interest in storing and cataloguing those designs? Buying plans from a museum, be it the Smithsonian or Mystic, is far less expensive than paying market value for NAs.
Just wondering,
Many public institutions (museums, art galleries, universities, whatever) depend to different degrees on the gifts of generous individuals. Yesterday's newspaper headlined a $5 million gift from an individual to the library of the local university.
If these institutions can use donated assets to generate income, I have no objection.
Mystic asks $10 per sheet of plans from non-members. This probably doesn't much more than cover their costs to copy, mail, etc. Not approaching the typical designer's commission. Pretty close to public domain.
The boat is no 54 also known as La Petite. Plans are available from mystic seaport. You can email a Ms Pat email@example.com. There are 9 sheets to this set includin ghte table of offsets. I too have taken an interst in this boat. I would like to either find an old one or build one myself. Do you know of anyone who has built one? I am actually thinking of strip planking or glued lapstreaking it. I know this sounds sacriligous but I think it might suit my needs. check out the plans and lets connect with thoughts.
If you scan that design in to your system, it should zoom very excellently in AutoCad Lite. Joe
The plans from the Herreshoff Mfg Co (as well as other stuff) are held by MIT in the Hart Nautical Collection (or maybe Hart Museum by now) and buying plans gives an individual a right to build.
See MIT's web page for more.
LFH of course was not really associated with the Herreshoff Mfg Co., but I thought I'd toss this in to close the circle.
Back on 10/03/00 Sigrid asked about Herreshoff's 11 1/2 pram...leeboard sailing dingy to Marco Polo. I have same interest. Has anyone built this in traditional pre epoxy style? ...or something similar?
Found this searching old posts...anyway, if anybody is wondering, I learned how to sail in this design. My grandparents built one prior to building their Marco Polo. A joy to sail and row. Very stable. We would routinely put four people and extra "stuff" aboard with no problem. I believe HIPPO was plywood built, screw and glue.
BTW, HIPPO is greek for "Horse" which is, I think, where the name came from.
Herreshoff pram built of rivetted cedar on steamed oak ribs:
Herreshoff pram in 'glass with MMD-designed sail rig:
Mike, the upper one is the 10' LFH-Gardener pram, right? And the lower is a Marco Polo pram? (Both are very pretty.)
Michael, please. (There is another one of me here in B'water, so he's Mike and I'm Michael.)
The 'glass boat is a hull made from a mould splashed from the wooden one. I believe that Whammy used the plans for the 10-ft pram published in John Gardner's book "Building Classic Small Craft". I believe that on at least one occasion he has stretched the boat to 11 feet LOA at a client's request.
Sorry. That's how I became "htom", a radio station I worked at had seven Toms.
You may have the experience to plan accomodation and machinery modifications yourself, and you may even have the experience to develop your scantlines for whatever building method you use, but were I building such a project from jump, I'd surely hire a good designer to handle getting the plans and turning them into construction plans. Never hurts to be sure the weights come out right especially fore and aft and the metacentric.
To the prams: the pram for the Marco Polo is very different from the breadloaf. Both are excellent boats in different ways. The breadloaf is meant to be a nice yacht tender, handled gently, and carried (this is why you hire Olaf as your boat's swain) over the shingle. The tender for the MarcoPolo has a flat bottom built dory style and is a very tough, seaworthy customer.
When i last sailed into Bar Harbor I was spotted by an old boat builder who'd made MarcoPolo's tender for a customer who then backed off. So he blythly rowed her around me to get my interest and even let me row her for a day. When he realized that I'm so cheap that the Indian has to ride that buffalo, he turned his blandishments on my Dad in hopes dad would see what a fine gift the little dink would make. I hoped he'd succeed but he is my dad and I didn't learn frugal all on my own. I had a dink. Why another?
But the day of rowing her sold me and I'll make one some day if I can just manage to break or loose the current dink. The MarcoPolo dink rows well loaded or light, handles any sea you're not afraid to look at and most you are afraid of, and will take more abuse than you have to offer anyway. Not a baby boat and not a boat in need of babying.
I admire the breadloaf - fits well on the deck of your New York 40 all finished bright - but I would have the marcopolo dink.
There's your Winter project. I'll brrow the moulds after you've finishedOriginally posted by Ian McColgin:
- but I would have the marcopolo dink.
i certainly hope the heirs to the hereshoffs are getting their share from each of those glass beauties.. in fact if its floats and looks a bit like a boat some designer ought to be getting a cut eh?Herreshoff pram in 'glass with MMD-designed sail rig:
The LFH pram in strip composite
Dutch, the folks who own the rights to the Herreshoff designs were contacted when the project was begun and informed of the intent to make one 'glass hull as requested by a client, and inquiries were made about fitting a sailing rig. Permission was granted and there is no conflict. I take my responsibilities as a professional designer quite seriously. Your innuendo is not appreciated.
i dont have time to get into this discussion right now mmd, but the innuendo was not really directed at you or about your prams, they simply being a case i could point to in the current thread
How could your comment be interpreted any other way than mmd took it?? You mentioned mmd and the pram specifically.
[ 11-30-2004, 02:23 PM: Message edited by: rbgarr ]
That's how I took it, too. The slam wasn't needed, Dutch.
what ever - want to fight?
Were Dutch doing folk the courtesy of paying any attention at all, he'd have known mmd's integrity and, had he still felt the need to make a remark about royalties and permissions, he'd have said it without gratuitous insults.
Even after erring, he could have wasted less time with the simplest of apologies.
We hope, albeit with no evidence, that the shoddy truculence he displays here is not reflected in his boatbuilding.

What's on Jennifer Connelly's Vanity Table?
Jennifer Connelly is one of those classic beauties whose bold brows, dark hair, and pale skin create a striking, Snow White–esque effect. Her career began as a child model (unsurprising), and she rose to fame with roles in movies such as Requiem for a Dream and A Beautiful Mind, for which her portrayal of Alicia Nash won her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA. This June, Connelly is set to release a romantic dramedy called Stuck in Love, and in early 2014, she will be on the big screen as Noah's wife in the biblical epic film Noah, alongside Russell Crowe, Anthony Hopkins, and Emma Watson.

Osprey Talon 33
Osprey Talon 33
Versatile backpack that fills a variety of roles.
I'm a very avid traveler and outdoors man so I've gone through my fair share of day sacks. I can confidently say this one strikes a good balance between carrying capacity and functionality.
Lots of pouches, including a front loading helmet pouch, there's plenty of places to put all your stuff. The material of the pack itself is light and does a good job of repelling water to keep your stuff dry but you may want to pair the inside up with a dry sack to be safe.
The only cons I would point out with this is the inability to remove the hip pads and your'e not always going to use them and also the small plastic clip-ons for the straps; they could be bigger and thicker to ensure that they won't crack if you bump into a wall or accidentally step on them.
Finally, I'd say you get good value for the price you pay on this pack.
15 November 2013
Purpose built and excellent for it
I got this item as a means to an end for my old tatty heavy sack that I used to use. What a difference! It's lightweight, durable and sturdy with all the added hooks and pockets for perfect travelling around the country as well as any short to mid sized expedition.
The security of each area is fantastic and I have found even for a short day trip out needing the random items that it is easily made into a much smaller daysqck without looking peculiar!
A great buy and recommend for anyone going on a short weekend hike.

Good producT
Product looks good and is deceptively roomy! I use it for commuting, hiking and travelling.

Good lightweight sack.
Overall it is a good lightweight sack, I took mine for a week in chamonix and it coped very well in the heat. There is just enough room inside for all my climbing gear or for a day on the glacier. Its narrow enough so you have plenty of range of motion for while climbing, and comfortable for all day use. 10 pitches up and still cool and comfy.

I've had my period for a few years now — is it time for me to start seeing a gynecologist? - Cindy*
Probably. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that a girl first see a gynecologist between the ages of 13 and 15.
Other health care providers who see teens for sexual health wellness visits include adolescent medicine physicians and family practice doctors, as well as some nurses with advanced training.

TUCSON - We often forget that produce neatly arranged on store shelves and milk, pasteurized and bottled come from farms. When the drought destroys crops that contribute to just about everything on the shopping list, the final grocery bill rises.
Rincon Market is not worried about losing customers but they do fear their customers may have to pay more this year. The concern stems from a report recently done by the United States Department of Agriculture. In 2013 the agency expects grocery prices to rise 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent. Feed prices are to blame for part of that. But, when it comes down to your own grocery list you can bet stores are keeping a close eye on which items are making money.
"We'll just evaluate what increases, how much of our product increases, how big the increase is, and see where we are out now in our margins and we will have to act accordingly from there. if we have to go up we are going to have to go up," said john Abbott, general manager of Rincon Market.
John says he has seen scares like this before and not much has come of it. He is holding out to see what move the food economy makes next.

WPBT2's Changing Seas Heads to the Northern Gulf of Mexico Voyaging into shark-infested waters somewhere in the Northern region of the Gulf of Mexico...To us this might sound like something Jules Verne would write about, but to the Changing Seas crew, it's just another day at the office. WPBT2's award-winning program is currently in production for another exciting season and we wanted to give you a small snippet of what we have in store. It is sure to be something you can..uh...sink your teeth into. This past October, Producer Alexa Elliott and Videographer Sean Hickey were filming aboard the R/V (Research Vessel) Weatherbird II. The R/V Weatherbird is the Florida Institute of Oceanography's research vessel in the Gulf. "During this research cruise we joined a science team from FSU's Coastal and Marine Laboratory led by Dr. Dean Grubbs, an expert on deep sea sharks. His team is conducting research in the northern Gulf of Mexico to determine if deep sea sharks and other fish are impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that occurred in 2010," said producer Alexa Elliott. One might think that it might have taken a couple of days to catch or see anything that would take one's breath away, but that wasn't so for this crew. Their very first day at sea proved fruitful. They were fishing for deep sea sharks, and wouldn't you know it, they caught one - a really big one! An almost fifteen foot bluntnose sixgill shark! "It's amazing what lives in our oceans," said Sean Hickey, videographer/editor for Changing Seas. "The researchers took blood samples, length measurements, tagged the fish and even performed an ultrasound on it." The latter was performed to see if SHE was pregnant. Yes, this massive creature was a female. "The biggest misconception about sharks is that they are evil, vicious creatures that will stop at nothing to attack us. Nothing could be further from the truth. As apex predators they provide a necessary balance to our oceans. Sharks are beautiful creatures that must be protected to maintain this critical balance," Hickey says. Scientists were looking to find out more about this elusive fish. Since they live primarily in deeper waters, interaction with these sharks is rare. Not only did they perform tests to determine the health of the animal, they released her back in the wild. Sixgill sharks are one of several species of deep sea sharks the scientists are studying in and around the DeSoto Canyon, a deep sea canyon in the northern Gulf. Little is known about the lives of some of these deep sea creatures, which range from the massive six gill shark to the very small and very beautiful Green Lantern shark. "It was fascinating to watch the experts bring up so many rarely seen species of fish on the deck to study them," said producer Elliott. "I can't wait to share this story with our audience!" "I have had wonderful opportunities to both observe and film sharks in the wild. From Caribbean reef sharks off of Florida to Hammerhead and Tiger sharks in the Bahamas," said Hickey. "Each encounter left me with the same feelings of excitement, awe and appreciation. I absolutely love them." Follow Changing Seas on Facebook. Visit the Changing Seas website here.

Planned Parenthood says it is throwing its support behind President Obama in the 2012 election.
The women's health care organization made the announcement today.
And as part of its support, the group's political arm is rolling out a new 1.4 million-dollar ad campaign telling women that Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is the wrong choice for them.
The commercial uses Romney's own words to accuse him of wanting to deny women birth control, abortions and equal pay.
It's expected to run on broadcast and cable channels in West Palm Beach, Florida, Des Moines, Iowa, northern Virginia and Washington.

Microcurrent Therapy
Microcurrent Therapy
Learn about this alternative therapy for pain and inflammation
Microcurrent therapy uses extremely low-level electrical currents (microcurrents) to treat nerve and muscle pain, inflammation, and other health challenges.
How Does Microcurrent Therapy Work?
Each tissue type in your body has its own signature electrical frequency, which may be disrupted by injury or disease. Microcurrent therapy simply restores normal frequencies within the cells, resulting in remarkable improvements in pain, inflammation, and function.
At the cellular level, microcurrent therapy stimulates a dramatic increase in ATP, the energy that fuels all biochemical functions in the body. It also bumps up protein synthesis, which is necessary for tissue repair. The ensuing enhancement in blood flow and decrease in inflammation translates into reductions in pain and muscle spasms and increased range of motion.
What Is a Typical Treatment Session Like?
When you undergo microcurrent therapy, you sit comfortably while electrodes are placed at strategic locations to direct the currents to the targeted tissues. Warm, moist towels are applied to facilitate conduction.
Unlike the more familiar TENS units, which also use electrical currents to relieve pain, microcurrents are so weak that they don't stimulate the sensory nerves, so you feel no shock-like sensations.
A treatment course typically involves several sessions, and benefits accrue over time. Microcurrent therapy is safe, FDA-approved, and has no significant adverse effects. However, it is not recommended for patients who have pacemakers or are pregnant.
What Conditions Is Microcurrent Therapy Good For?
- Arthritis
- Back pain
- Diabetic ulcers
- Fibromyalgia
- Headaches
- Herpes
- Neck pain
- Neuropathy
- Sciatica
- Shingles
- Slow-healing wounds
- Sports injuries
- Tendon and ligament pain

Amy and Craig Koehler had the time of their lives last fall.
They visited friends and relatives all over the western United States. They camped in national parks, stayed at resorts, climbed mountains and drove almost the entire length of the Pacific Coast.
But after three months of traveling, the former Highland couple were ready to drop anchor -- at least for a while.
"I missed home more than I thought I would," said Amy, 48. "I missed family and friends, and I missed a space of my own. And this may sound odd, but I kind of missed my stuff, too."
The Koehlers made a bold move last summer by selling their house and most of their possessions and putting the rest in storage.
Craig is a retired lieutenant colonel with the Illinois State Police. Amy quit her job as a research analyst manager at Anheuser-Busch. Their two sons from previous marriages are grown.
"It's exciting to let go of the attachments," Amy said in an Aug. 5 story in BND Magazine. "It's been very freeing. People talk about this movement to simplify, simplify, simplify your life. Well, that's what we're doing."
The first stop on the Koehlers' trip was a friends' house in Lake of the Ozarks. They forged on to Colorado, spending time at Rocky Mountain National Park, Pike's Peak and Glenwood Springs; viewing elk and other wildlife, zip-lining and soaking in a natural hot spring.
Their first camping experience proved challenging because it rained, and their tent leaked, but they solved the problem quickly with silicone weatherproofing.
After Colorado, the couple cut north to Flaming Gorge in Utah, Jackson Hole, Wyo., and Yellowstone National Park.
"I wrote a blog about Yellowstone and called it 'Planet Yellowstone,'" Amy said. "In some parts, it was like, 'Are we still on earth?' It felt like we were on Mars."
Next came time with friends in Montana, hiking in Glacier National Park (Amy's favorite spot) and a resort stay in the wilderness of Northern Idaho.
The Koehlers checked out Seattle and Cape Flattery, Wash., the most northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States; Olympic National Park, the California redwoods, Lake Tahoe and historic Virginia City, Nev.; Yosemite National Park and Little Grand Canyon (Craig's favorite spot) before ending up at a niece's house in the Los Angeles area.
One of the couple's highlights was seeing Game 6 of the National Baseball League championship between the Cardinals and the Giants. They were house-sitting near San Francisco at the time.
"We put 11,700 miles on our (Hyundai Sonata)," said Craig, 52. "We had our oil changed twice and the tires rotated once, but no problems."
Today, Craig and Amy are in the metro-east, celebrating the holidays with his parents in Carlyle and her father in Shiloh.
They're headed to Florida for a few weeks after New Year's, and then they've arranged to do some house-sitting in Centralia.
The Koehlers eventually want to rent a place in Breese and later in Troy to determine which community they like best. They eventually plan to buy or build a home.
"The biggest thing that Amy and I realized is that we need a home base of our own," Craig said. "It's funny, it can be a noose around your neck. But when you don't have one, there's no place to kick back and relax. You may be visiting friends and family, but it's not your own house, and you have to be on their schedules."

Well at least we know (now) that you won't break the board (or end the universe), Antoniseb. We'd been taking bets when ToSeek made his run last year. (Next "big scary" milestone, 2^7 posts.)
And I'm finally within 100 posts of kilopi.
And as of now, Antoniseb has 10,000 posts exactly! Excessive jubilation will be allowed during the next five minutes.
Oh, and I've just passed kilopi, I notice
A milestone indeed, Antoniseb!
Thank you for your participation and sharing so much with BAUTers
Congratulation Antoniseb, for 10000postings. I was calculating the approximate time of how you have accomplish 10000postings in how much time, but I am unanswered yet.
I was just calculating it on the calculator but could not fetch the conclusion, that how much time was totally consume for posting and the speed of typing words.
I am looking forward some another 10000postings this year.
see the postings calculator.
Again congratulation.

So, at current rates, by the end of next year these guys will be roughly neck and neck in their battle for BAUT supremacy!
Yep, related news shows Fraser within a week of clinching a 9000 post milestone.
Interestingly, the other administrator of the board is at almost exactly half the level of posts as Fraser.

Pehaps a year? Seems like ages to me, and I post less now I think...
That makes sense, because I joined about the time of the merge and I thought you were already a fairly prominent poster, but when I checked this afternoon I really couldn't go against what the stats told me!Originally Posted by antoniseb

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Thanks to sponsorship from Amarillo National Bank, Center City kicked off their 18th Annual Block Party one street north of its usual location.
"They give us basically the seed money to help us get our party going, and that gave us two great opportunities," said Center City's Beth Duke. "One great opportunity was the Amarillo National Bank parking lot where we had out first ever Car Show and Shine, and the other opportunity we had was to light the new Amarillo National Bank sign on Polk."
Duke said the change was also related to geography. She said concerns from local businesses over access to 7th Avenue also prompted the move. Some downtown businesses said they heard otherwise.
"I was told directly from Beth Duke that the reason they moved it was they were upset that some of the people that own businesses on the 700 and 800 block we're selling their product a dollar cheaper than they were," said Bodega's Owner Oscar Gamboa. He said he was disappointed in the decision.
"It's a great way to promote your business. There are some new businesses down here that are really struggling and I think they could have really used the push that Center City could have provided."
Neighboring businesses on Polk seemed to agree.
"Any time you can have a captive audience of 8,000 plus people, if you can get just 10% of that, it's really nice because you're going to get exposed to a lot of people that have never been in before," said Burger Bar Owner Matt Prickett.
Burger Bar was one of the only downtown businesses included in the party. Prickett said it made a difference.
"In years past we've been at the very end of the party, but this year we we're more towards the front of it," said Prickett. "I'm still tallying up final numbers, but I'd say we're 15 to 20% up from last year."
Gamboa said all he wants is a fair shot at next year's event.
"I wish we just had the support of Center City, that's what the organization is suppose to do, not help who they want to help or whoever has the deepest pockets," said Gamboa.

The Transporter star Jason Statham takes the wheel in director Paul W.S. Anderson's remake of the Roger Corman classic about a hyper-violent cross-country race that breaks all of the traditional rules of the road. The time is the not-so-distant future, and as America's prisons begin overflowing with violent criminals, the powers that be devise a grisly game that will free up space in the cells and entertain the masses at the same time. Jensen Ames (Statham) is a three-time speedway champion with a dark past. A survival expert and ex-con whose sordid history comes back to haunt him when he is framed for a murder he didn't commit, Ames is forced to choose between donning the metallic mask of a mythical racer known as Frankenstein or languishing away on Terminal Island -- America's most notorious penitentiary. Over the course of the next three days, this unlikely champion will get behind the wheel of a nightmare machine outfitted with machine guns, grenade launchers, and flamethrowers in a desperate attempt to outrun some of the most violent criminals ever imprisoned. Should Ames be the first to cross the checkered flag, he will win his freedom; should he come in second, however, death would be preferable to a grim future in a cramped concrete cell. Co-stars include Joan Allen, Ian McShane, Natalie Martinez, and Tyrese Gibson, who takes over the role of Machine Gun Joe, made famous by Sylvester Stallone in the original. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Four men come together to find out how and why the woman who raised them was killed in this hard-edged urban drama from director John Singleton. Short-tempered Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), struggling musician Jack (Garrett Hedlund), streetwise Angel (Tyrese Gibson), and hard-working Jeremiah (Andre Benjamin) are four guys who don't appear to have much in common, in terms of either race or temperament. However, these men have one very important bond -- all four were adopted and raised by the same woman (Fionnula Flanagan), and they all love her as a mother, and respect one another as brothers. When their mother is killed during a robbery at a grocery store, the four brothers come together for the funeral, but when they don't get straight answers about what happened to her, they begin looking into the crime themselves. The deeper they dig into the case, the more the brothers begin to suspect that the shooting wasn't an accident, and that powerful and unexpected forces were involved. Four Brothers marked one of the first starring roles for Andre Benjamin, better known as Andre 3000 of the top selling hip-hop group OutKast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Henson) and Peanut (Tamara LaSeon Bass), although he still lives with his 36-year-old mother Juanita (Adrienne-Joi Johnson).

Two years after saving the world with the Autobots, Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) is away at college when an ancient Decepticon named "The Fallen" returns to Earth on a mission of vengeance. With the Allspark destroyed, the Autobots lose all hope of returning to their home planet of Cybertron, and begin working with an elite military known as NEST to hunt down any remaining Decepticons. But even as they fight for humanity alongside Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel) and USAF Master Sergeant Epps (Tyrese Gibson), the Autobots are acutely aware that not all humans are thrilled by their presence on planet Earth. When National Security Advisor Theodore Galloway (John Benjamin Hickey) wages a heated campaign aimed at exiling the giant robots back into space, head Autobot Optimus Prime agrees to comply with the voice of the people, while warning them of the potential consequences of leaving the planet unprotected. Meanwhile, Sam contends with an overly cocky college roommate, and attempts to remain faithful to Mikaela (Megan Fox) by fending off advances from pretty -- and persistent -- coed Alice (Isabel Lucas). Just as Sam begins adjusting to the quirks of campus life, a series of inexplicable visions leaves him convinced that the struggle between good and evil is far from over. And he's correct, too, because the Decepticons have just discovered that Sam is the one human who possesses the ability to tip the balance of power to the Autobots' advantage, and they're determined to gain the upper hand by dispensing with him once and for all. Now, as Sam and Mikaela unearth a secret about the Transformers that alters the entire course of human history, the Decepticon known as The Fallen prepares to return -- and reclaim the plant once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The interstellar battle between the Autobots and Decepticons rains destruction down on planet Earth as director Michael Bay adapts Hasbro and Takara's popular Transformers franchise into a big-budget, live-action summer tentpole extravaganza in this ambitious sci-fi action feature starring Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Bernie Mac, John Turturro, Jon Voight, and, of course, Optimus Prime and Megatron. Long ago, on the planet of Cybertron, a massive, powerful alien race divided into two factions, the noble Autobots, and the devious Decepticons. They fought for the sole access to a talisman known as the Allspark, a cube with the capacity to grant infinite power, and eventually the Autobots smuggled it off the planet's surface, hiding it in an unknown location on Earth. Now, hundreds of years later, the Deceptacons have come looking for it, and if the Autobots don't find it first, the Earth will be enslaved or destroyed by the evil aliens' use of its massive power. The Autobots don't know where the cube was hidden, but the information may be stored in the most unlikely of sources, as a gangly young Earthling named Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) who's just picked up his first car, has a strange connection to the Allspark's history, making him the unlikely ally of these enormous creatures, as they fight for humankind's survival and the chance to return home. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A poor but ambitious young man strives to make good in one of the most competitive institutions on Earth in this military drama. Jake Huard (James Franco) is a young man from a small Maryland town who grew up in a blue-collar family with few opportunities. Wanting to make something of himself after completing high school, Jake set his sights on attending the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, where he narrowly makes the cut and becomes one of the 1,200 applicants selected for the freshman class. Jake finds that life as a "plebe" is intellectually challenging and physically punishing, and he soon develops a powerful adversary in Midshipman Lt. Cole (Tyrese Gibson), his training commander, who pushes Jake to the limit to see if he has what it takes. Standing on the razor's edge of failing as both a student and a soldier, Jake makes a brave but dangerous gesture toward proving himself by entering the Brigade Championships, a Naval boxing competition where he'll go into the ring against the best fighters in the Navy -- including Lt. Cole. Jake soon has one person on his side when he strikes up a friendship with Ali (Jordana Brewster), a pretty young officer who believes Jake has what it takes to go the distance. Annapolis also stars Donnie Wahlberg, Chi McBride, and Vicellous Shannon; the film was directed by Justin Lin, who debuted with the acclaimed independent feature Better Luck Tomorrow. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Based on a novel by Elleston Trevor, director John Moore's The Flight of the Phoenix is a remake of a 1965 film of the same name starring film icon James Stewart. The story revolves around the plight of Captain Frank Towns (Dennis Quaid), a pilot whose C-119 cargo plane full of oil workers could not withstand the violent winds of a desert sandstorm. Stranded in the harsh terrain of Mongolia's Gobi Desert (a departure from the original, in which the plane crashed in the Sahara), Frank and his navigator face an equal challenge in maintaining order among the survivors. The group of oilmen had planned on an uneventful trip to shut off a group of rigs falling below their productivity expectations -- not fending for their very lives. Before long, some men are revealed as cowards, while others exhibit a surprising show of strength, all the while hoping that the wreckage of the original plane can be salvaged before a Lord of the Flies situation occurs. Miranda Otto is featured in a supporting role, as well as Giovanni Ribisi and Tyrese Gibson. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Vin Diesel opted to not appear in the sequel to the film the shot him to stardom in the first place, The Fast and the Furious. With the character of Dominic Toretto out of the picture, 2 Fast 2 Furious concentrates exclusively on the latest exploits of undercover agent Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker. In addition, with director Rob Cohen passing, producers have added a dash of credibility to the sequel by hiring John Singleton to helm. What does completely remain from the first film is the presence of fast-living underground street-racing gangs. Moving from Los Angeles to Miami, O'Connor is looking to redeem himself after the events of the first movie, so he again goes undercover to infiltrate another group of thuggish car enthusiasts. This time around he's enlisted the help of ex-con Roman Pierce (Tyrese) and fellow agent Monica Celemente (Eva Mendes) to bring down Carter Verone (Cole Hauser), an importer/exporter who heads up a massive drug trafficking operation. Heading up the supporting cast are hip-hop stars Ludacris and Fabolous. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

I hope someone can help me. I have searched the web using every word I can think of and haven't found anything with apples that I can use on a glass block. I am running out of time, as this is supposed to be for my sister who decorates her kitchen in apples. I tried Mardars, but there wasn't what I wanted. Does anyone have any idea where I can look? Thank you so much in advance for a reply. Pattyo | |||

THE CURRENT CINEMA review of "To Rome with Love." Woody Allen's new movie, "To Rome with Love," is light and fast, with some of the sharpest dialogue and acting that he's put on the screen in years. The picture gently but surely moves back and forth between romantic comedy and satirical farce. There are thirteen major characters and several minor ones. Allen, now seventy-six, revisits some of his old ideas and devices, but he keeps moving ahead. He appears in the film, as a grouchily retired opera director, and Judy Davis, who plays his psychiatrist wife, says to him, "You equate retirement with death." The film is an old man's rejection of mortality. In recent years, Allen has become a passionate pilgrim. Mentions "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" and "Midnight in Paris." "To Rome with Love" is set in the present. A genial traffic cop, standing in the Piazza Venezia, introduces the characters and their stories: the opera director and his wife; a newlywed couple from the provinces (Alessandro Tiberi and Alessandra Mastronardi) just arriving in Rome; a well-known American architect (Alec Baldwin) on vacation; an ordinary middle-class Roman (Roberto Benigni) living with his family. New characters are added, and we puzzle over the possible connections among the narratives, but, at the plot level, there aren't any. The tales don't even take place in the same time frame. Yet the moods and the elements of the visual scheme are matched so elegantly that the transitions feel effortless. The young couple gets separated. The man falls into the expert hands of a call girl (Penelope Cruz). His wife meets a movie star. Baldwin's architect meets an early version of himself—an architecture student (Jesse Eisenberg), who takes him home to meet his girlfriend (Greta Gerwig). They are joined by an unemployed American actress (Ellen Page), who rapidly pulls the man away from his girl. Page gives a restrained but brilliantly satirical performance as an intellectual and emotional faker. She's one of the greatest of Allen's female creations. "To Rome with Love" is devoted to dreamers and seekers. The only crime imaginable in this movie is the unwillingness to take a chance.
