Hi All,
I think there's been a lot of misunderstandings here. My basic problem in this thread was with Rad's presumptions about Susan Boyle's past lives in terms of her misjudging others and abuse of social power and standing (which frankly I didn't see in her chart or her personal vibration) and his vague definition of abnormal in regards to those being publicly executed. Rad has not seen fit to address this issue. No disrespect to you, Pam, but I have worked with the mentally disabled for a long time as well and have had to research the history of their social treatment. Nowhere in my research (and I wasn't including Hitler who basically wanted to make a graveyard of the planet) have I come across any mention of burning at the stake in regards to a constant public execution for the mentally disabled. Instead, other horrible things were done to those who were considered to be "moon children" or what we now call "mentally disabled." I would like to hear further justification from Rad in regards to Susan Boyle's past lives as to why he is making such a harsh judgment on her when he has no personal contact with her. What are her current life circumstances that would reflect such a past life history?

Hi Bird,
Its all good..... I have lots of research that says the miss-treatment and killing of people with mental/physical disabilities- sorry to say. I think think the thread got a bit out of wack.. I will gracefully say what I have to and move on... If you want pass on your e-mail and I will send you some of the research that I have found....

Hi Bird,
I can only suggest you read again Rad's analysis and check the chart step by step accordingly...
I did not hear Rad "judging" the soul; he simply explained the 10th house s.node in pisces correlations within the whole context. Ruler, other planets etc....
Pisces is a sign for illusions/delusions amongst other things...where ever is the soul now, certainly it has been in social power in the past within the consensus state ...that's CRYSTAL CLEAR from the chart. Delusions/illusions were certainly part of that past and it was certainly such a "supreme" power at that time (pisces=supreme, 10th house social power)
The fact that virgo is the n.node and in the 4th and pluto is conj. shows (at minimum!) the fact that the soul 1) feels it needs to atone 2) it has destined to deeply humble itself (virgo) 3) totally reshape it's identity/self image without any social power (4th)
This also means to heal from any kind of delusion (pisces s.node conj chiron) of the past. Pluto in virgo=some kind of guilt on a soul level, 4th house affecting the self image of the soul....
Saturn in capricorn in the 8th=social power and some sort of judgment has been used and in a very INTENSE way (8th house) ....including the possibility of causing death (8th house) ...in the same time this is what pushed the soul to reach a limit.... it then needs to overcome and metamorphose above the prior limitation....8th house archetype: learning about absolute power and powerlessness, capricorn:within a social context.....
Rad's analysis embraced both: how the soul experienced absolut social power in the past and how this lead to abusing that power..than experienced the opposite, absolute powerlessness, when the famous rug has been pulled under it's feet....
By the way, no soul can go through the consensus state especially not within patriarchy without making mistakes....evolution is not taking place via a nice, soft, white carpet on which we can keep our shoes clean...we learn via our mistakes....there simply is no other way....
So I really don't see what do you mean by this soul has been "harshly judged"....this soul appears to be learning natural lessons via the only way it is possible: experience. No soul can learn the lessons of equality without learning through unequlity, no soul can learn the lesson of compassion and understanding without learning the lesson of judgment and rejection...and it has to be learned both ways...how it looks from this "role" and how it looks from the opposite "role"....and so on....
To me it seems that this soul has learned a valuable lesson from its past ...what Rad said about the fact that she is now a living example and as such an inspirational "teacher" of that very lesson (even without her knowing it) i.e. how wrong is to judge people based on appearences and assumptions is anything but a judgment....
And how else can a soul learn and represent any lesson other than trying it out/experiencing it itself from both ends...?
That's what evolution actually means....it is an illusion that it can happen in any other ways...everything we know we know it from experience...
In Susan's case: when the s.node is in the 10 and ruler is in the 5th, there was a leonic, self centered way of reality which was out pictured into the social sphere...but of course within that leonic reality it would not be CAN NOT be objectively seen....
As a result look at the 11th house sun and venus placement. Obviously showing that something NEW (aries) has just begun about the 11th house lessons; objectivity! Now looking at things differently, underlined by the humbled 4th house n.node/Pluto - which gives the chance for this new beginning symbolised by the aries planets in the 11th.
A totally new life purpose with a new way of forming relationship to herself ...wherever aries falls in a chart that's the area of a new beginning and a new self discovery in that very area...for her it is the 11th house....(I don't think it is a coincidence that it starts with 0 aries!)
Also wherever pisces falls something is certainly culminating...that's 10th house for her....
So even if I wouldn't know about Rad's analysis from this little bit it can be suspected that something certainly need to be culninated and reformulated regarding social status/power and judgment issues...and that the soul is in a transitionary state (virgo pluto and n.node) and on it's way of becoming equal .....neither superior nor inferior to others......that's why one of the major lessons is and has been to humble itself (virgo)....just to be who the soul is and shed any delusions of the past (pisces)......

Hi Everyone,
Susan Boyle is certainly an interesting character. In regards to the birth data, however, I have found conflicting accounts for her birthday...one account even states that she was born June 15, 1961, which gives a different look to her chart. Most accounts state that she is the youngest of ten and not nine and is Irish Catholic and very devout. I found a very interesting article that gives some more detailed background information for Ms. Boyle by David Hinckley of the Daily News:
"That's just how life works, a fact of which Susan Boyle is well aware. She was born June 15, 1961, in the small Scottish town of Blackburn, West Lothian, and brought home to the modest "council house" where she lives today.
She says she still sleeps in the same room. Her parents were Irish Catholics who moved to Scotland so her father Patrick could work as a storeman at the British Leyland factory.
Her mother Bridget was a shorthand typist, but spent much of her time at home raising 10 children – six boys, four girls. Her mother was 47 when Susan was born, six years after her next-youngest sibling George.
A difficult birth left Susan briefly deprived of oxygen, leaving her with a learning disability. In the whirlwind of interviews she has given since her "Talent" audition aired in Britain on April 11, Boyle hasn't spoken in much detail about her childhood.
But as the baby in a family of 10, she seems to have felt distant from siblings who in some cases were old enough to be her parents and gradually over the years all moved away.
Two brothers who have since surfaced – George, now 53, and John, now 59 – remember Susan as a shy child, an inclination likely reinforced by her difficulty in learning and thus with fitting in.
In early photos, Boyle looks like a typical Scottish child, with a broad, friendly face. But her learning disability made her different and children being a cruel lot, her classmates took to calling her "Susie Simple."
In the June 15th chart, Ms. Boyle has an Aquarius/Leo Nodal axis with Mars and Uranus on the North Node in Leo and Pluto on the North Node in Virgo.
I would have to agree with Bird on this analysis in terms of evolutionary state (meaning she's newly out of Dimly Evolved), especially after researching Ms. Boyle's life and discovering that she has a learning disability due to oxygen deprivation at birth and was extensively mocked by her peers. She has been called the "Crazy Lady" by her fellow villagers as well. Also, she gives contradictory answers to questions and seems to be completely at a loss as to how to handle her recent fame. If she had fully gone through the Consensus, she would more than likely be more comfortable with fame in general.
I don't really see abuse of social power in either chart or in her life circumstances, unless Rad is saying her circumstances are a case of karmic retribution? I simply don't "feel" that from her, and the context of her life seems to point more toward her being new to the Consensus. She doesn't seem to have a great grasp of social integration. Also, and most importantly, in Wolf's delineation of cases of karmic retribution, the individual will have a bright, white point of light in the pupil of the eye and will be angry due to knowing that there is more to their state of consciousness than they are able to currently experience. Ms. Boyle seems quite happy-go-lucky and does not, in fact, seem to feel that there is any more to her state of consciousness than she is currently experiencing. This would point toward her being just out of Dimly Evolved and not in a situation where there is karmic retribution. Just thought that I would add in my observations to see if it helps any.

Hi Yarrow,
Thanks for the additional data. Of course I have no knowledge what birthdate may be correct. Rose said however that the data she posted was the one obtained from the official source, and there were other mistakes circulating in regarding to the correct coordinates. As for her consciousness: of course my feeling about her actual consciousness level may have been mistaken and she may still be consensus. Although I am not entirely sure, for I have observed several people who culminate the consensus state with a series of heavy prior life mistakes which resulted in karmic conditions that the souls were often pushed to the margin of society in one way or another...but of course, I do not know her personally so I can only guess.
To me the symptoms you are describing (and thank you very much for you research on the subject!) appears to be in perfect harmony with the karmic conditions that Rad referred to as having been born through a series of life times with conditions which resulted being judged as "different" in one way or another; and only in this life time she is in the position to culminate these lessons and reflect it back to the "world". (mercury ruler of n.node and Pluto is in pisces in the 10th, so in the same house and sign where the original lessons originated from yet further up outside of direct conj.)
The underlying problem with Bird's dimly evolved ideas is that it can hardly produce a 10th house s.node ruled by a 5th house planet, along with an 8th house saturn in capricorn conj to jupiter; to my knowledge, Bird was talking about this present chart that Rose posted.
Of course if the chart would be different that's a totally different issue.
The additional info you posted in regards to her parents and family relations reflects a typical 10/4th house scenario though...
Anyway, thanks for the additional data again.

Hi Yarrow,
This bit slipped my attention:
I simply don't "feel" that from her, and the context of her life seems to point more toward her being new to the Consensus. She doesn't seem to have a great grasp of social integration. Also, and most importantly, in Wolf's delineation of cases of karmic retribution, the individual will have a bright, white point of light in the pupil of the eye and will be angry due to knowing that there is more to their state of consciousness than they are able to currently experience. Ms. Boyle seems quite happy-go-lucky and does not, in fact, seem to feel that there is any more to her state of consciousness than she is currently experiencing. This would point toward her being just out of Dimly Evolved and not in a situation where there is karmic retribution.
Appears there is some misunderstanding here. I would suggest re-reading the detailed description of the dimly evolved state in Pluto I.: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul.
For ease I copy here what Wolf wrote on this in his "Review of the Key Principles of EA":
The Dimly Evolved State: For those Souls that are evolving into human consciousness from other forms of life, typically animal and plant since animals and plants essentially have the same `emotional´ and `nervous´ systems as humans, are characterized by a very limited sense of self-awareness. This self-awareness is typically limited to the time and space that they personally occupy. When one looks into such Souls eyes they typically express a `density´ within the pupils, like a film effect within the pupils. These Souls are typically very joyous, very, very innocent, and can bring great love to those who are close to them. Modern terminology that reflects these types of Souls are words like critinism, very low i.q´s, mongoloidism, metal retardation, and the like. The root desire within this evolutionary stage or state is the desire to be `normal´ where normal means to be like most other people: the consensus state.
Conversely, it can occur, due to `karmic´ causes that Souls can be de-evolved which means that such Souls are forced back into this state. This then becomes very problematic for such Souls because they had previously evolved beyond this stage. Thus, such Soul now experience great and humiliating `limitations´ because of the de-evolution. As a result these Souls are very, very angry and some can go about creating great disturbances for other people. These souls can also be `classified´ through the modern terminology as above. But the great difference is that when one looks into the pupil of these Souls eyes one will notice a great while light manifesting from the pupil: piercing like. And within that light one will inwardly experience the intense anger within such a Soul.
Susan Boyle state is very far from being classified as " critinism", "mongoloidism", "metal retardation", and the like...
These people in the past have been frequently institutionalised and in some cases they still are. In fact they usually need some level of assistance in order to be able to function within a societal environment......Many do not have the ability to communicate properly as other humans do, sometimes they are making sounds only - understandably for they are just at the beginning of learning how to be a human. As they evolve in this state they learn communication of course but it will be limited in this state...
Again Susan's case can not even be compared to this with a mild learning disability. She is perfectly able to function within her social environment and most importantly the dimly evolved does not have the ability to look after another human being in a way she did for her mother during most of her life. Simply because the dimly evolved state is occupied only with their own physical life, functions, and immediate environment. They haven't developed (amongst other things) the concept of time and future as most humans do. This is necessary for example to take care another in their daily functions and needs. Caring demands an awareness of the needs and the timing of those needs so that a plan can be implemented to meet those needs on a daily basis -for obvious reasons.
The dimly evolved usually needs assistance of some degree sometimes for their whole life. They can be very loving to those who take care of them or close to them - but they have no, -or extremely limited -awareness of mostly anything outside of their immediate time and space reality of any moment.
So again, only in this condition the above differentiation applies what you referred to, i.e. looking into the eyes to determine the reason for the condition.
Susan is way ahead of this "retarded" or "mongoloid" like state; therefore what you said above does not apply to her at all.
I'd also like to mention what Wolf taught in regards to the de-evolution into the dimly evolved state; he said, this can only happen to souls who have committed EXTREMELY SADISTIC DEEDS AGAINST MANY MANY PEOPLE REPEATEDLY (for example like hitler).
This means each soul has a chance to learn from their lessons outside of this rare karmic de-evolution. Just like the soul of Susan did. Of course we can't see it "in her" now if the soul learnt the lesson.
The rare karmic set back to the dimly evolved state happens only if a soul refuses to learn via the normal karmic consequences and despite the chance it has been given it will REPEAT these kind of deeds and will sadisticly hurt a LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AGAIN. Only then this kind of totally limiting karma would occur ..basically that's another chance to start over and learn the lesson...
Anyway, point is just that the past life scenario discussed in Susan's case did not even come near to this kind of karma. Simply the soul in the consensus state, just as many others do, followed the norms of its society in the past and having inherited great social power the soul misused it according to judgments that were based (as many times in history) on total delusion.

...would like to add that I think I said everything -and perhaps more
! - that is there to say regarding this topic.... I agree with Pam this thread appears to be going to the wrong direction and becoming some sort of argument based on Bird's differing opinion, coming up with his dimly evolved idea...
With all respect to you both, Bird and Yarrow - of course you can have your personal opinions - however let's respect the fact that this MB is for EA learning purposes: this learning is intended to take place via the lead of Rad and Deva and with the help of the EA council members.
I would like to publicly restate the fact that their lead has been agreed by all members of this council and it is based upon their supreme knowledge of EA. The in-depth knowledge they represent was passed onto them by Wolf himself in a very unique way.
What you read on this MB represents the original EA teachings of Wolf; and as such THIS IS what we represent.
You of course may not like what we represent; that's fine, then it may not be for you?
I personally see some gaps in both of your understanding regarding some of the EA principles and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but I can only suggest learning more about the subject if you are interested. Please know, this does not mean that I would consider my understanding as "full" not at all, that's why I am just one of the members of the Council and accept the leading role of Rad and Deva. Being graduated from the school does not mean one knows everything there is to know. It is like any "degree" it is only a start for gaining the real knowledge via practice; and sometimes we need to learn from our mistakes on the way, as always in any area of life.
In the same time I see Rad's knowledge as comparable to only Wolf's; and while I intend to help others in their study and share what I already know, I am still in the process of learning more via the invaluable inputs of Rad, also Deva and the others on this MB who generously share their wisdom.
So, if you still disagree with the analysis presented here, and if you don't wish to look further into the whys as what you may have missed or overlooked at the first place which resulted in the different analysis or guess you presented here, -well that's fine too, than lets agree that you disagree and let's move on.

Well certainly a 'lively' discussion about Ms.Boyle. It's important to remember that Evolutionary Astrology is, in the end, about the natural laws of cause and effect. And by understanding these natural laws as applied to the individual case of any Soul allows for an understanding of the causes and effects of their individual Soul's journey through time. In this way we then understand that all Soul's are responsible for the reality that they create. There are no victims as a result.
The original question that Ari asked that set all this discussion in motion was this: "I'm confused when it comes to synthesis. How do we understand Pluto retro on nn in relation to the south node? What kind of past life story can we find in this chart? What would you say is the evolutionary intent in this life?"
This is exactly the strength and beauty of Evolutionary Astrology for it is able to answer such questions from the point of view of natural laws as embodied in the natural law of cause and effect. What is the past for any of us that has caused or is responsible for the current life circumstances that we have created for ourselves.
The answer that I gave to Ari's question demonstrates this natural law of cause and effect as applied to the past of Ms.Boyle by employing the Evolutionary Paradigm that Wolf taught. Lia's responses also reflect this understanding and, as a result, her analysis and statements about Ms.Boyle are well reasoned within the paradigm of Evolutionary Astrology. Any one is free to agree of disagree with this analysis by Lia and myself. But in so doing that disagreement should be rooted and expressed within the parameters of the Evolutionary Paradigm itself.
And, above all else, all discussions amongst us should be of respect and consideration versus the pounding of one's chest as to who is 'right and wrong'. The last thing that will be tolerated on this message board is disrespect dissolving into cat fights of who is right and wrong.

Wolf always taught that we must consider individual context, observed context, that's Natural Law. He never taught to use imagined context.
As you well know there is a karma in misinterpreting and expressing that notion. You did it with Joan of Arc by misjudging her evolutionary state and then allowed that ill-rendering to stand. It is a great disservice to any Soul. I'm just glad Ms Boyle is not a member of this forum as she would again experience the trauma of false judgment.

In reality Wolf taught us to understand the Evolutionary Paradigm that embraces the past of any Soul by way of the Signs, Houses, and Planets that are involved with a Soul's past. This is why he spent so much time teaching the importance of understanding the totality of the archetypes of each Sign, House, and Planet. And by having that understanding of the totality of the archetypes correlating to a Soul's past relative to the EA paradigm that this then establishes that 'context' of the past. There is nothing to 'imagine' as a result. He also taught that there are no victims, that each Soul is responsible for their own actions. There is indeed a natural law of cause and effect. Within the symbols of Ms.Boyle's chart the issue of wounding others through judgments could not be more blatant. That, indeed, establishes context. The effect of that cause then results. Many call this karma of course where every action has a proportionate reaction. Nothing happens in a vacuum.
As I said before, and is stated as conditions for being part of this message board by the Administrator, abuse of others, mis-respect, and belligerance will not be tolerated. You are clearly demonstrating belligerance, etc. This is not what this message board needs whatsoever. I will notify the Administrator to have you removed from this message board. Until then all your posts will be deleted. Good luck and Godspeed.

Hi Bird,
I completely agree with you about Wolf's methodology. Observed context is the most important thing when reading a chart...the archetypes are to be read on top of what has actually occurred in an individual's life.
In regards to this forum, in particular Lia and Rad, I was under the impression that EA discouraged hierarchy and that we can all share our take on a chart while employing EA methodology. It seems to me that because a couple of people disagreed with an analysis (which would be pertinent to EA methodology, wouldn't it?) and said so, they were told to simply obey those in authority without questioning. This is something that I cannot stomach. If a fellow psychologist gave me a faulty hypothesis based on a case study, I (and any other peers involved) would point out the illogic of the hypothesis and the psychologist would be required to further prove his or her statements or retract them. I had hoped that those who claim to be teachers on this forum (and really, I'm just speaking to Lia and Rad here because they are claiming to be the authorities in most situations on this forum) would be a little more scientific in their approaches. This forum ought not to be a Sunday school where I must simply accept what I am told, no matter how illogical statements are. Of course, you need not worry about me "rocking the boat" further...I will not participate in this forum again and of course, I fully expect you to delete my posts because that's what free speech is all about, right?

This issue here is not disagreement of the analysis. The disagreements that were posted were simply statements without any Evolutionary Astrology being used in those disagreements. There were simply statements of disagreement. Disagreement if fine as long as one then uses or employs EA itself to do so. In the initial analysis I specified the EA symbols that I was using that generated that analysis. For those who wish to disagree that is fine but, in so doing, to then use the symbols involved to do so. In this way meaningful discussions can take place between any of us here that actually utilize the language of EA.
The observed context of any of our lives is about the nature of the current life that we all live. How does one 'observe' the past lifetimes, context, of another without having the ability to do so ? As in being able to 'see' into anothers past lifetimes ? If I have a client who, in the current life, has been raped how am I as an EA astrologer meant to understand the fact of that observed context ? And within that observation the persons who has been raped has lead a life that has no basis for being raped ? This is what directly connects to what Wolf taught in terms of Natural Laws, cause and effect, relative to a past in which the cause can be found for the current life observed fact of being raped. Nothing happens in a vacuum. And that, indeed, is the power of the EA paradigm as it relates to the past of any of us as the total determinant of the current life.
Disagreement is fine. It is how that disagreement is expressed that is the issue here with Bird.

Hi Yarrow,
I am really sad to see this....this kind of thing happened on Wolf's old message board and it is really a shame that it is happening now here....
The real point here: OF COURSE EVERYONE is free to discuss their take on any chart, but this does not mean WITHOUT any kind of reasoning and astro correlation. For that indeed would be nothing but "imagined context". That's the problem and it is kind of funny to see that this is what Bird is accusing Rad with - yet it is him who is doing this.
For Bird didn't give ONE SINGLE astro correlation to back up his idea and offer it for discussion. For that would be the way to go about it. And this is what I missed from him altogether. It could have been great to discuss his ideas no regards right or wrong, would he be open for discussion within the framework of the EA principles....
Rad analysis was based on astro correlations which can be followed and see through where it was coming from and where it led, backed by the planetary symbols.
With your example, if you go to a psychologist or a doctor who will base their diagnosis on nothing else just what they think in any moment, without ever CHECKING out the facts, and just insists on it because they said so, would that be good enough in your opinion?
I think testing and checking facts is the necessary probe of everything...every idea, intuition etc. By all means yes, go for it try it out test it, for it may prove to be true. But we need to be open for the possibility that it may not be right. How can we know that without any effort of checking it out and testing it in the light of the facts of reality itself?
But if someone has such a degree of personal pride that they can not accept even the possibility that they may be wrong at least time to time, and if they would not check any facts just say it is so, for that's what they think - well be honest Yarrow, is that the way to go?
Would you not say this attitude would make one a dangerous doctor for example? Or anything else they may do this way...
That's the point to begin with...there was no meaningful intellectual argument on Bird's part other than saying he disagrees with Rad. Fine. But he didn't say on what base, what correlations does he use, how he interprets them and so on...not a word on this just going on disagreeing then all of a sudden using highly disrespectful words and offending him ...is that really the way for an astrological or any kind of intellectual discussion? Is that what free speach means?
For honestly it appears to me the opposite, like if we don't agree with Bird we are hieracical, unscientific and who knows what...that's pretty much like personal judgments...I didn't hear Rad or anybody else ever doing this except the two of you...
To me this is the phenomena which can be called "false authority" insisting that people believe Bird just because he said so, and if there is an argument about the subject personal judgments come in the way....
I don't think if anyone needs that, everybody is just as human as teh next person....I did not hear Rad ever "reasoning" this kind of way, and it is NOT what Wolf taught he is highly against anything like this....
Again, from Bird's post any EA correlation was completely missing, while you were at least applying some although mistakenly; i.e. the dimly evolved state eye comparison in relation to Susan Boyle - though she is not in that state. But that's no big deal, we all make mistakes none of us are perfect, that's what makes us human....
It doesn't matter "who is right" what matters is the fact that Bird didn't reason but started to personally offend and judge....
He never answered to my attempt reasoning with him within the astro paradigm he just went back to what HE thinks and what HE feels without justification. He said: "I don't see anything like that in the chart".
Right, and what does he see, did he say? Not one word...instead he said that Rad was judging the soul harshley and all this kinds of things.....Is that a well supported argument based on correlation and observation within the framework of astro reasoning? Or is that simply a personal opinion based on NOTHING but what he thinks....??
This is why I asked at the end to at least agree to disagree and if reasoning does not work at least lets respect the fact that this MB was created for learning purposes lead by Rad and Deva....it is certainly not about offending and impolitely judging those who share their views and back it up with the EA paradigm.....
I don't see why asking to respect this MB for what it was set up for and asking to move on is about "hierarchy" in your view but I leave it there....
Appears to me you are good friends, it is great to be loyal to our friends of course, however I would like to ask for just one simple thing: apply objectivity...then help your friend to gain it too - perhaps a bit later once he/she calmed down. That would be a real service from a true friend ....For we all sometimes take things in a wrong way and make mistakes because of it; friends are there to help us in those times for we all are listening to them differently than to others ...
Anyway, that's of course just my suggestion......
Peace and blessings to you both,

Hi to all,
Goodness gracious, as Lia said, it makes me sad to find this same KIND of discourse happening here, especially as we're finally getting a new MB going again and having some really good and deep analysis in different threads - analysis that has helped at least one soul at a very personal level and all of us in learning more about working with the EA paradigm.
I, too, have no problem with disagreement, just as Rad and Lia said, and again, it's the NATURE of what the disagreement is based ON and how it's approached and supported, in this case by using the paradigm itself and using the aspects, phases, etc. in stating one's arguements, just as we did when we wrote up homework for Wolf. We HAD to SUPPORT our arguements. And what I "heard" from Rad was simply that same thing - please support your arguement with the necessary astrological symbols/understanding. I'll leave that part because Rad and Lia covered it beautifully.
But I woud like to add, Bird Whistler, in relation to your statement you made about Rade above that, "As you well know there is a karma in misinterpreting and expressing that notion. You did it with Joan of Arc by misjudging her evolutionary state and then allowed that ill-rendering to stand. It is a great disservice to any Soul." That is simply not so. Stacie reminded Rad that Wolf had put Joan of Arc in third stage spiritual and Rad did NOT let his "ill-rendering" stand; he DID correct his misstatement with the following post:
Hi Stacie,
Thanks for saying that about Wolf. And,
of course, he is right.
When one remembers that one of the things that Wolf taught about that 3rd Stage within the Spiritual Stage is that as the Soul evolves through it that their 'name', as in Joan of Arc , can transcend the individuals actual life and live on into the future and become progressively widely known as hers has. And many others at this level of evolution. Thanks for pointing that out.
Good, honest disagreement backed with astrological reasoning tied to the symbols can be lively and educational. It can also be done in a manner that's courteous and respectful of others, so I hope you can see a different way of looking at this current "discussion," birdwhistler.
Peace and Blessings,
Go Up

Vatican to open an inquiry of British cardinal
Priests accuse him of improper behavior
LONDON — On the same day as his last public blessing Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI confronted the threat of a fresh scandal within the church hierarchy, with Vatican officials informing him of new allegations that Britain's most senior Roman Catholic cleric had engaged in inappropriate behavior with priests.
In Britain, the accusations against Cardinal Keith O'Brien, head of the church in Scotland and one of this nation's most strident opponents of gay rights, were already escalating into a national furor.
The controversy revolved around a report first published Saturday night on the website of Britain's Observer newspaper, saying that four men — three current priests and one former priest — had denounced O'Brien for ''inappropriate'' and ''intimate'' behavior.
Through a spokesman, O'Brien denied the charges and said he was seeking legal counsel.
A Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Sunday that the Vatican would investigate the complaints, which had been channeled through the office of the papal nuncio — the Vatican's ambassador — in London.
''The pope has been informed, and the question is in his hands,'' Lombardi said.
If proven true, the allegations could rock the church at a highly sensitive time, highlighting a Vatican in crisis as its cardinals begin to gather in Rome to pick the pope's successor after his surprise resignation earlier this month.
The exact nature and timing of the alleged contact, which the Observer said was reported to the Vatican's emissary in London a week before Benedict's Feb. 11 resignation, were not spelled out.
But one of the accusers said O'Brien had started a ''relationship'' with him in the 1980s that resulted in the need for long-term counseling. Another of the men said O'Brien had initiated ''inappropriate contact'' during nightly prayers, according to the paper.
Poised to join the upcoming conclave to elect a new pope, O'Brien missed Sunday Mass in his dioceses of St. Andrews and Edinburgh.
His auxiliary, Bishop Stephen Robson, read a statement at the cathedral in Edinburgh, saying: ''A number of allegations of inappropriate behavior have been made against the cardinal. The cardinal has sought legal advice and it would be inappropriate to comment at this time. There will be further statements in due course.'' He added, according to the BBC, ''It is to the Lord that we turn to now in times of need.''
The Vatican declined to confirm details of the allegations against the 74-year-old O'Brien, who was due to retire next month, saying only that Benedict had been informed.
The pope, who will step down Thursday evening, gave his final Sunday blessing from his studio window to the cheers of tens of thousands of people packing St. Peter's Square, but sought to reassure the faithful that he wasn't abandoning the church by retiring to spend his final years in prayer.
While the 85-year-old pontiff has lately looked tired and frail, the crowd filling the cobblestone square seemed to energize him, and he spoke in a strong voice, repeatedly thanking the faithful for their closeness and affection.
Benedict told the crowd that God is calling him to dedicate himself ''even more to prayer and meditation,'' which he will do in a monastery being renovated for him in Vatican City.
''But this doesn't mean abandoning the church,'' the pope said. "I can continue to serve it with the same dedication and the same love which I have tried to do so until now, but in a way more suitable to my age and to my strength.''
The allegations against O'Brien surfaced a week after the church became the focus of fresh leaks in the Italian press, which cited an internal Vatican report as detailing the existence of a gay lobby inside the institution that was subject to outside blackmail.
Responding to the reports, the Vatican's Secretariat of State chided the media for ''widespread distribution of often unverified, unverifiable, or completely false news stories that cause serious damage to persons and institutions.''
In Britain, however, the Observer report was considered additionally explosive because of O'Brien's public stance on homosexuality. Last year, O'Brien decried the campaign to legalize same-sex marriage here as a ''grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right.''
He has described homosexuality as immoral and was singled out by the gay advocacy group Stonewall for a 2012 ''bigot of the year'' award.
Allies of O'Brien, however, were quick to defend him, saying judgment should be reserved until a full airing of the facts. ''These allegations have not been proved in any way,'' Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, former archbishop of Westminster, said. ''So I think he will have to decide whether he goes or not'' to the conclave. ''We must listen first of all to what he has to say.''
The Observer's report did not specify the extent to which the alleged encounters were consensual or ultimately resulted in sexual acts. None of the four men were named, and they could not be independently reached.
The paper said the men recently reported their claims to the Vatican emissary in London with the aid of an intermediary from their diocese in the week before the pope's resignation.
The move appeared pegged to O'Brien's planned retirement next month. The men were demanding O'Brien's immediate resignation and apparently went public in an effort to block the cardinal from taking part of the papal conclave.

Political science explores questions about power: what it is, where it comes from, who exercises it, how it is used and legitimized. Concretely, political scientists study the processes, policies and institutions of different political systems as well as critical issues such as health care policy, civil rights, the origins of wars, the nature of democracy, the causes of authoritarianism, the meaning of justice, and the genesis of terrorism.
In accordance with the mission of Barnard College, the political science department aims to create a community of teachers and students committed to intellectual discovery, rigorous analysis, and independent thought. The department's courses emphasize reflection, discussion, deliberation and intensive interactions between faculty members and students. The Barnard political science department strives to help students think clearly and methodically about the questions and issues that make up political science, equip them with the intellectual and presentational skills necessary to understand and address practical political issues as well as prepare them for a wide range of careers in federal, state and local governments; law; business; international organizations; nonprofit associations and organizations; campaign management and polling; journalism; pre-collegiate education; electoral politics; research and university and college teaching.
The study of the conceptual foundations of political systems and behavior.
Student learning outcome:
After completing one or more courses in Political Theory, students should have a familiarity with some of the key concepts, theories and debates that have defined thinking about politics over time.
The study of all aspects of the American political system, including its development, institutions, procedures, and actors.
Student learning outcome:
After completing one or more courses in American Government & Politics, students should understand the basic structure of the American political system and how some of its institutions, procedures, and actors function.
The study of the political systems of other countries and regions, including the use of comparisons across cases in order to gain a broader and deeper understanding of events, institutions, and processes.
Student learning outcome:
After completing one or more courses in Comparative Politics, students should have a familiarity with the political systems of other countries and regions, and be able to use comparisons across cases in order to gain a broader and deeper understanding of political events, institutions, and processes.
The study of relations between countries and the dynamics and development of the international system.
Student learning outcome:
After completing one or more courses in International Relations, students should understand the key approaches to the study of the relations between countries and a familiarity with the basic dynamics and development of the international system.
Student Learning Outcomes for the Political Science Major
Upon completion of the Barnard Political Science major, students should:
- Be able to analyze, speak and write about the subject matter and major theories of at least three of the four subfields of political science;
- Be able to apply social scientific reasoning and theories to the analysis of a wide range of political issues and problems;
- Be able to generate and test hypotheses about political processes, relationships and institutions or engage in conceptual analysis and interpretation of political ideas, arguments, and phenomena;
- Be able to complete independent research projects in political science, particularly via the capstone senior project.
Students interested in public careers should consider the five-year joint-degree program at Columbia University's School of International & Public Affairs (SIPA).
- The SIPA programs include the Graduate Program in Public Policy & Administration (MPA) and the Master of International Affairs Program (MIA). For information, please contact Kimberly Marten.

Most people will laugh at this, but believe it: bidding wars are returning, plain and simple. Those who choose to ignore this warning may lose the opportunity to purchase a house.
In the first quarter of 2012, bidding wars were occurring regularly on houses at the price range of from $150,000 to $350,000. Now that many of those houses have been purchased and overall inventory of available housing is declining to the lowest levels in years, bidding wars are moving up in the pricing scale to $400,000 to $650,000 and sometimes higher.
This is an emerging trend and one that needs to go out as an alert to everyone who is considering a near-term home purchase.
Real-estate agents in Southern California are reporting a rise in the cases of frustrated buyers who have lost out in their bidding attempts, even when making all-cash, full-price offers.
Inventory levels have fallen dramatically — by as much as 60 percent or more from three years ago. With lower inventory, there are fewer selections available. Buyer demand is on the rise, as evidenced by increased monthly sales volume. So, we are playing a game of musical chairs — with expensive housing.
First, understand there is a lot of pent-up demand. Many people are waiting anxiously for signs of economic recovery — the problem is whether they will know how to recognize those signs. Many key metrics already indicate a recovering real-estate market.
If you have ever experienced or witnessed thousands of people standing in line at a Wal-Mart just prior to Christmas, positioning themselves to be among the lucky few to buy a limited supply of a new product, you are somewhat acquainted with the psychology and effects of the herd mentality. Many potential homebuyers who not long ago were convinced the economy would see a double-dip recession are stunned to learn that prices are on the rise.
What about all the short sales and foreclosures that haven't hit the market yet? Won't that drive supply up and prices down? UNLIKELY! The inventory of distressed home sales is shrinking and banks will likely drip the remaining distressed properties onto the market so they, too, will benefit from a bidding war game.
Okay, so say you are a buyer and you have experienced the disappointment of losing out to the bidding wars. What do you want to do? You could continue to search on your own, but the problem with that is you are doing all of the work in a misguided fashion, and likely relying on do-it-yourself techniques that cause you to lose time, money and opportunities. You could rely on chance or fate to guide your decisions. The problem there is that, unless you are already highly successful, that strategy probably hasn't served you well.
Real estate is a service industry, so seek a qualified professional. Whatever you do, try to stay clear of those Internet real-estate database sites, which may be misleading. The information is often outdated by weeks, and pricing estimates are usually less reliable for areas like La Jolla. Hire a competent real-estate agent who will work for you and help map out a plan. An aggressive agent will find the right homes, get you to quickly view the property and make an attractive offer ahead of your competition. It's your choice — buy now and possibly purchase at a lower point in the market, or defy the experts and find yourself praying for the next recession.
Do you have a question about real estate in San Diego? Send your inquiries to email@example.com. We will respond directly to you, and those questions that have a broader public appeal will be published along with our next column in La Jolla TODAY.

AMD Phenom X2, X4, FX processor specs leak
'Star' chip roll out runs through to Q1 2008
Details are beginning to come through about just how AMD will roll out its next-gen desktop 'star' processors - so called because of their astronomy inspired codenames. While Q3 appears to be the key launch point, the shift extends through Q4 into Q1 2008.
According to roadmap details posted by website DailyTech, Q3 will see the release of three Phenom FX processors, quad-core 65nm parts with four blocks of 512KB L2 cache and 2MB of shared L3 cache.
The roadmap lists two clock frequency ranges: 2.2-2.4GHz and 2.4-2.6GHz. The top band is taken by a Socket 1207+ part sitting on a HyperTransport 3 bus clocked at 3600MHz. The lower speed range extends two processors, both with 3200MHz HT3 buses, but one that connects using Socket 1207+ and the other with AM2+.
The same quarter will see the debut of two Phenom X4s, the report says - both quad-core desktop CPUs with Socket AM2+ interconnects, four 512KB L2 caches, one 2MB L3 cache and a power rating of 89W. A 2.2GHz part with operate on a 3200MHz HT3 bus, while the 2.4GHz version will sit on a 3600MHz bus.
Come Q4, and the 'Kuma' dual-core desktops will appear, as the Phenom X2 series. Expect three models: 65W parts running at 2.4GHz and 2.6GHz, and an 89W chip clocked to 2.8GHz. All three have two 512KB L2 caches and a 2MB L3 cache. They sit on 3600, 3800 and 4200MHz HT3 buses, respectively.
'Star' Athlons and Semprons won't appear, apparently, until Q1 2008: the 'Rana' dual-core 65W chip, clocked to 2.2GHz and with two 512KB L2 caches but no L3. The next-gen Athlon 64 X2's HT3 bus will be clocked to 3200MHz.
Expect two single-core Semprons, each with 512KB of L2, no L3, a 45W TDP, and clock speeds of 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz. Their HT3 buses will be set to 3200 and 3600MHz, respectively.
The Athlons and Semprons will be accompanied by three "energy efficient" Phenom X2s, clocked at 1.9, 2.1 and 2.3GHz for a TDP of 45W. Their HT3 buses will be set to 2800, 3000 and 3400MHz, respectively.

|JESUS SAYS: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the world." (MATTHEW 28:20)

THEN THE PERSON OF JESUS (UPON WHOM BE PEACE), WHO IS PRESENT WITH HIS HUMAN BODY IN THE WORLD OF THE HEAVENS, WILL COME TO LEAD THE CURRENT OF TRUE RELIGION, as, relying on the promise of One Powerful Over All Things, the Bringer of Sure News has said. Since he has told of it, it is true, and since the One Powerful Over All Things has promised it, He will certainly bring it about.

LIMA, Rita de Cássia Gabrielli Souza y VERDI, Marta Inez Machado. Solidarity in family medicine in Brazil and in Italy: reflecting on ethical issues and contemporary challenges. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2010, vol.5Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1414-3283.
This study reflects on solidarity in the practice of family medicine in two realities. The objective is to search for solidarity as an ethical principle in the relationship between family doctor and subject. It is a descriptive exploratory research carried out in Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and in the Province of Rome, Lazio Region, Italy. It included fourteen Brazilian family doctors and fifteen Italian family doctors. The theoretical framework consisted of Pierre Bourdieu's theory of Symbolic Power. The results show the importance of the role of the family doctor in the materialization of this ethical principle, as a spokesman for scientific knowledge and as an agent of a State policy. Solidarity was understood within distinct domains and the discursive productions also demonstrated the negation of solidarity in such practice. Globalization proved to be a contemporary challenge for an ethical practice of family medicine that is marked by solidarity.

Colour Planner Autumn/Winter 2015/2016 Engage:
The Time for Color in Winter Has Arrived
Multi-discipline forecast provides global color direction across fashion, cosmetics, lifestyle, graphic and industrial design
CARLSTADT, N.J., Feb. 18, 2014 – Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today introduced Engage, the Autumn/Winter 2015/2016 edition of PANTONE® VIEW Colour Planner. Looking at color as a total language, this multi-platform forecast offers seasonal inspiration, key color direction and suggested color harmonies for women's and men's fashion, active wear, cosmetics and lifestyle, as well as industrial and graphic design.
With global fashion trends becoming less constrained by rigid color rules and our feelings about the future more optimistic, consumers are delighting in color expression and continuing to seek out color year round. This transitional approach toward color shows the growing acceptance of color throughout the year.
Color statements in the PANTONE VIEW Colour Planner are confident, with classic and familiar tones combining with some less traditional tones for some unusual yet commercial palettes that allow business to playfully engage with color without the financial risk.
"In the past, as temperatures drop, consumers have typically retreated into darker shades of blacks and navies, but in our globally connected world, this is no longer the case," said Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute. "Today as we begin to feel more confident about our economic future and can see what our friends are wearing around the globe, consumers and businesses alike are yearning to engage in a dialogue with color not only during the warmer spring and summer time period but also during the misty and colder autumn and winter season."
PANTONE VIEW Colour Planner Fall/Winter 2015/2016 contains the following eight palettes:
Engage begins with wispy, softer colors, gradually building to more intense shades and finishing with strong bursts of color:
Published bi-annually, 18 to 24 months in advance of the season, the PANTONE VIEW Colour Planner is based on the PANTONE FASHION + HOME Color System, the most widely used and recognized color language standard in the world. The book is produced by a team of leading visionaries from all over the world with expertise in different disciplines, providing comprehensive color-direction across multiple design areas.
Within each of the season's directional color palettes, a general introduction outlines the colors included and the philosophy behind them. In addition, a specific breakdown of each palette highlights harmonies, suggested color combinations and suitable patterns, fabrics and products according to end use. For added convenience and usability, at the end of each palette section, a printed version of each PANTONE FASHION + HOME Color is featured in perforated swatch form and 1" x 4" detachable cotton strips. The PANTONE VIEW Colour Planner Fall/Winter 2015/2016 also comes with a DVD containing static images of photos used to illustrate the seasonal themes a movie version that has music to set the unique mood of each individual palette, a printed color card where the forecasted colors are arranged by color family and a poster-sized overview of the season.

Home Page Chess Life Online Archives The March Check is in the Mail
|The March Check is in the Mail
|By Alex Dunne
|March 3, 2013
John Menke has scored
the chess grand slam with his win in the 2011 Absolute, first place in the 2003
Golden Knights, first place in the 2004 Electronic Knights, and now an
undefeated Absolute victory. John's winning percentage boosts him to
second place in overall Absolute percentage, second only to the great James
It is not often you see a player as strong as Sanford Greene go down in 21 moves, but with Menke playing White, it all seems inevitable.
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bg5 e6 7.Qd2 Be7 8.0-0-0 0-0 9.f4 Nxd4 10.Qxd4 h6
So far, so normal. Most usual now is 11. Bh4 Qa5 12. Bc4 e5 13. fxe5 dxe5 14. Qd3 Bg4 15. Rdf1 Rac8 as in Plomp-Vosahlik, European Correspondence Team Championship VII Final, 2008
And now the challenge: To take or not to take ?
Black can decline the offer with 11...Qa5 12. Kb1 Rd8 as in Turicnik-Walsh, Corres. 2003, with a roughly even game. But Greene is not one to back away from a challenge.
12.hxg5 Ng4
Statistically Black is in good shape here. In correspondence games from this position Black is holding his own with +5 =2 -5.
But Menke finds a nearly unbeaten path. The usual idea here is to play Be2 and Bxg4 and Qg1-Qh2 in some order, but that gives Black time to consolidate by attacking White's center. Menke sees another plan.
This is the standard defense against a wing attack a la Nimzovich -- counterattack in the center, but it would appear better survival chances are offered by 13...Qb6 14. Rh4 Ne3 15. Na4 Nxf1 16. Rxf1 Qa6 17. R1h1 f5 18. exf5 Rxf5 when 19. Qd1 offers White strong chances with at least perpetual check.
The parent game was an obscure one: Bobras-Bernard, Ustron 2004, which continued 13...f6 14. Qe2 fxg5 15. Qxg4 Rxf4 16. Qh5 Rh4 17. Rxh4 gxh4 18. e5 Bg5+ 19. Kb1 Bh6 20. Bd3 Bd7 21. Qg6 dxe5 22. Rf1 1-0
14.g3 Be6
Black has an enormous defensive problem to solve here, the open h-file biting into his King's defensive chances. Possibly best is to fight for the file with 14...g6 15. Bh3 Kg7 16. Qe2 f5 but the airy Black kingside should give White at least even chances after 17. Bxg4 fxg4 18. Nd5. Instead Greene tries to combat Menke's wing action with center play that doesn't quite materialize due to the weakness of d5.
15.Bh3 exf4 16.gxf4 g6
How soon White's choice of 13. Qd2 brought about a winning position. There are no good choices for Black here.
17.Rdg1 Qc8 18.Bxg4 Bxg4 19.Nd5 Re8 20.f5 Bxf5 21.Nf6+! 1-0
White plays for mate -- 21...Bxf6 22. gxf6 Bxe4 is met by 23. Rh8+ Kxh8 24. Qh6+ Kg8 25. Qg7 mate and 21...Kg7 22. Rh7+ Kf8 23. Qd4 is also convincing.
Saturday Mail Delivery
An email from Richard Aiken asks: This news about no Saturday delivery is a problem for us postal players. My problem is not that it slows down the game (if I was in a hurry, I wouldn't be playing postal chess), but that cogitation time is affected. I am commonly on the edge of my time control, and if I have to get a card postmarked to avoid going over the time limit, and it is Friday night, I am in trouble. Do you think there will be an adjustment made for this in the rules?
On August 5, 2013, the US Postal Service will halt Saturday deliveries of mail dependent on congressional approval. Should Saturday deliveries be halted, the change in forfeit rules will be simple: If the final day of the time limit occurs on a Saturday, a grace period will extend until and including Monday. In other words the lack of Saturday mail delivery will not cause a forfeit to occur on that weekend.
George Eichhorn wins Iowa State with a perfect 5-0. George, born December 1, 1954, is an Iowa State OTB champion (1984 and 1985) served in the Iowa legislature between 2000-2007. George thinking that CC play lets you focus on the analysis/thinking process as well as researching opening theory, entered an Electronic Knights tourney. Unfortunately he played the games as if they were speed games and his rating suffered accordingly. He is now working on his thought process and learning some new openings. And now he has a new Iowa State title to his credit.
PIRC's OPENING (B08)
George Eichhorn
Quote: The Fischer boom affected correspondence chess, too. The 1972 Golden Knights was the largest ever with 770 sections containing 5,390 players. The eventual winner of a playoff over Robert Jacobs and Kiven Plesset was R. Cayford. - beating two future Absolute winners!
James Ellis 11C15
James Ellis is 52, and has played CC since 1985. He works as an accountant and webmaster for North Georgia RESA. James notes his biggest chess influences are Nimzovich and Korchnoi. Here he plays the Rook ending like Rubinstein.
Jaun le Roux, born 8/23/60, of Puyallup, Washington, came from the bottom of the ratings to the top of the tournament to win Walter Muir 12W17.
White's d-Pawn advances slowly but inexorably until it reaches the seventh rank, completely tying up the Black forces.

John Collins
James Ellis 11C15 4½ -1½
Raymond Stefens 12C05 4 ½-1½
Richard Chapman 11C02 5-1
Thomas Buchanan 12C03 6-0
Swift Quad
David Kolb 12SQ11 5 ½-½
The ride may be bumpy but the fun is still there !
White's plan of h5 and Nd5-f4-g6 followed by Rf5 and Rf8 is convincing,
And now in the attacking style of the 1851 Absolute, this slasher. White's development just overwhelms sleeping pieces.
A few judicious exchanges on Move 18 produce a big lead in development for White who steers his pieces on to win.
Black creates two passed Pawns on the queenside and that is enough to bring White's King to its knees.

(CNN) -- Bolivian President Evo Morales said Thursday he supports a congressional decision to hold a referendum on whether he and his administration should remain in power amid a move for autonomy that he opposes.
"Democracy is to be defined at the ballot box, not through violence," Bolivian President Evo Morales says.
"We politicians can't forget that the people decide the destiny of the country, the presidents, the prefects," he said in a televised address from the presidential palace in La Paz.
"Democracy is to be defined at the ballot box, not through violence," he said. "How many times have we said yes to the ballot box, no to the arms?"
The announcement came shortly after the National Congress passed the call for a vote, and a few days after a referendum on autonomy passed in Santa Cruz, the nation's richest of nine departments.
The leftist president rejected the Santa Cruz vote as illegal, and therefore nonbinding, and criticized its supporters as opposed to his plan to share the wealth of their communities with the rest of the country, which is the poorest in Latin America.
"I want the people of Bolivia to know we are a government that respects the people, that respects legality, that respects the National Congress, but we also respect the decisions of conscience," said the leftist president, who was voted into office in 2005 for a six-year term.
"With this small experience of two years, we want to serve better," he said. "But the people will decide, based on what we've done so far."
"I hope that the wisdom of the people, the conscience of the people obliges the Congress to accelerate the changes."

Maurice de Vlaminck
French, 1876–1958
Fleurs, c. 1950
oil on canvas
55.3 x 38.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mrs. R.A. Purves
Rebellious and eccentric by nature, Maurice de Vlaminck pushed the boundaries of early twentieth century art in his Expressionistic style of painting. After seeing Vincent van Gogh's retrospective exhibition in Paris in 1901, and Paul Cézanne's retrospective in 1907, he turned to bold colours and dynamic compositional forms, and applied them to his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. In Paris he associated with the Fauve painters Henri Matisse and André Derain and, like them, he was branded a "wild beast" and criticized for his unorthodox use of colour. Rich colours, heavily applied, explode in this still life of flowers, which is representative of his mature period, darker and more sombre in tone than his earlier work. Evident here is Vlaminck's preference for rhythmically structured composition and saturated pigments, vigorously applied directly onto the canvas from the paint tube.
