Jones' two homers propel Norris, O's at Big A
ANAHEIM -- When Adam Jones accepted the invitation to participate in this year's Home Run Derby, there wasn't a whole lot of concern from manager Buck Showalter about Jones ruining his second-half swing.
If anything, it's gotten better. Jones showcased his power stroke Monday night in Anaheim, going deep twice -- and for the third time in three games -- to post a four-RBI game that lifted the Orioles to a series-opening 4-2 win over the Angels.View Full Game Coverage
ANAHEIM -- When Adam Jones accepted the invitation to participate in this year's Home Run Derby, there wasn't a whole lot of concern from manager Buck Showalter about Jones ruining his second-half swing.
If anything, it's gotten better. Jones showcased his power stroke Monday night in Anaheim, going deep twice -- and for the third time in three games -- to post a four-RBI game that lifted the Orioles to a series-opening 4-2 win over the Angels.View Full Game Coverage
"I think that's a little stretch there," Showalter said of the notion that Jones benefited from participating in the Derby. "It was an ideal situation in the Home Run Derby. I wanted him to not get eliminated in the first round and stop. It worked out great. Adam does that all year long."
Starter Bud Norris also showed the same prowess he had most of the first half, going 6 2/3 innings -despite getting drilled early in the right ankle -- to help the first-place O's increase their American League East lead to four.
Baltimore -- which has hit a Major League-leading 121 homers this year -- has won 13 of its last 19 road games and is 13-8 against the AL West this season, including a 2-2 mark on its current three-city West Coast road trip.
"You have to step up to the challenge sometimes," Norris said of shutting down an Angels team that entered the day as the top-scoring team in the Majors and averages at least five runs per game. "That's a great lineup over there. They've been swinging the bats extremely well. They've got the second-best record in baseball. I've pitched pretty good [here] a couple times. So I just wanted to get back out there and pitch. Nothing happens until you get out there."
Norris, who worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning, improved to 4-0 with a 0.53 ERA in six career starts against the Angels and said staying on track with a Minor League start last week helped him get back into a rhythm.
"I was pretty excited to get back," said Norris, who made his first Major League start since July 9. "It's hard to watch these games on the couch. So to come back and have a good performance and for us to get a win is big. I just want to pick up where I left off."
Jones, who has nine RBIs since the All-Star break, has been able to carry over an impressive start to the month. The 28-year-old put the Orioles up on a first-inning blast off Angels rookie starter Matt Shoemaker, driving in Nick Markakis' game-opening single for his 18th homer of the year.
Shoemaker, who tied a career high with 10 strikeouts, retired 15 straight after that with Markakis' sixth-inning double setting the stage again for Jones. This time, Jones sent a 1-1 slider into left-center field for a two-out shot before Nelson Cruz followed with a single to chase Shoemaker from the game.
"Had an idea of what he does but no one has seen him," Jones said of his approach against Shoemaker. "Go up there and the best way is trial and error."
Jones' two swings were all Norris would need as the righty, who was drilled in the foot by a Hank Conger single in the second inning, struck out eight and allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits and two walks.
At 89 pitches to start the seventh, Norris recorded the first two outs -- including the second strikeout of Mike Trout -- before exiting after walking Albert Pujols. Norris, who turned in his longest outing since June 14, was replaced by lefty Brian Matusz, who struck out Josh Hamilton.
"His command was real good," Showalter said of Norris. "I'm glad he went to [Double-A] Bowie and got his pitch count up to 100 with a little prodding. He was very effective. He's pitched well here. Had some big innings. Everybody did their job out of the bullpen."
Righty Darren O'Day tossed a scoreless eighth inning and closer Zach Britton picked up his 17th save in 20 opportunities after taking Erick Aybar's ball off his right arm. Britton, a left-hander, said he lost feeling on the inside of his arm but was able to record the out and stayed on to finish off the game after a visit from Showalter and head athletic trainer Richie Bancells.
"Yeah, I have a lot of family here, so [Buck] was like, 'What would your dad say right now?,'" Britton said. "He'd probably say, 'Meet me in the parking lot after the game. Let's do some [pitchers' fielding practice].'"
Given that the injury in on his non-throwing arm, Britton wasn't worried about it affecting his availability for the rest of the series, which is good news for the Orioles. The Angels have won 25 of their last 31 home games and have set a club record with 10 consecutive home series wins.
"They've got a potent lineup and you're just picking your poison all the way through there," Showalter said. "Shoemaker was good. What'd we strike out, 15 times? I think we struck out 10 of theirs [11. actually], didn't we? You get a lot of borderline calls go your way. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't."

Ryanair Boss Admits You Don't Really Need a Seat Belt on an Airplane
Have you ever wondered exactly how wearing a seat belt is beneficial to your safety when traveling by airplane? Apparently, you are not alone. Budget airliner Ryanair is currently trying to implement a "standing room only" cabin for its passengers, allowing them to travel without any restraints.
According to Michael O'Leary, the chief executive of Ryanair, the idea that a seat belt is considered safety equipment aboard an airplane is ridiculous. "If there ever was a crash on an aircraft, God forbid, a seat belt won't save you." he said.
And with O'Leary's philosophy comes some new ideas in the realm of air travel for Ryanair. The airline wants permission to sell tickets for $2 to students and budget-conscious travellers just looking to get from point A to point B. To do this, O'Leary is suggesting the removal of the back 10 rows of seats on all of their airplanes.
"If you say to passengers it's $40 for the seat and $2 for the standing cabin, I guarantee we will sell the standing cabin first," said O'Leary. "No question."
However, the proposed "standing cabin" is currently a no-go in the eyes of European safety regulators, whom O'Leary describes as "a bunch of plonkers." (Note: a plonker is British slang for moron.)
As of now, there is no word whether O'Leary's vision of selling spots in a standing cabin will come to fruition.

Tracy Woodward, a staff photographer for the Washington Post recently won an Award of Excellence from the White House News Photographers Association for the above photo. Well, not exactly the above photo. Move that handy slider thing all the way to the right to see the original picture, as published in the newspaper. Then move it all the way to the left to see the altered version that was submitted for and won the award.
The referee is gone! (Not completely. Even in the manipulated version, you can make out the silhouette of his black pants.) Somehow, this wouldn't have been caught if the Post hadn't noticed:
Golon also told News Photographer magazine today that the Post didn't enter Woodward's photograph into the WHNPA contest, that the photographer prepared and submitted his own entry. Then when Post editors discovered that the altered picture had been entered in the contest, she said, they informed WHNPA and the Post withdrew the image.
The WHNPA rescinded Woodward's award. Oh, but the proto-Photoshopped image of the Kent State Massacre takes out one unsightly fencepost and becomes historic. I see how it is.

In today's new media, web 2.0, SoLoMo (whatever that means) world, search is more than a simple query. Search has become a social experience, one in which we now rely upon our friends and colleagues for suggestions to boost relevant results. According to Bing, "research tells us that 90% of people consult with a friend or expert before making a decision –whether it's something as simple as which train will take you uptown or who is the best dentist in Boulder, other people are often the most trusted source of information." This is something Google has obviously known for awhile, implementing social search and returning results that are endorsed by friends who have +1'd that website or article.
Today, Bing has announced it's ready to really play the social search game too, introducing the "New Bing" that will roll out over the next few weeks. The new UI will feature three columns; the search results, a "snapshot" view, and a social sidebar, which looks like something designed with Windows 8 in mind.
Thankfully, not much is changing here. As Bing explains, "The bedrock of modern search remains core algorithmic relevance. With the latest updates, we are delivering the results you expect." However, Bing misses no opportunity to throw stones at its competitors. "Instead of cluttering your results with social updates, we're honoring the purity of the core web results making it easier to focus on the links you need to get things done." Bing makes it clear if you want a social search experience, you'll have to look elsewhere on Bing - but with this new design, they are aware they you do need it; just not in-your-face like its competitors (i.e.; Google) have designed.
This middle column is designed, as Bing's blog explains to bring, to "relevant information and services related to your search to you right on the main results page including maps, restaurant reservations and reviews so you can take action." This is where Bing is getting smarter and knows you better before. Not only does it know what you need to know, the Snapshot column is helping you to get those things done - before you even know you needed to do them.
The third column of Bing's new redesign is the major change to Bing's UI, and where social search is really integrated. Called "sidebar", Bing says, "With sidebar, Bing brings together the best of the web, with what experts and your friends know, giving you the confidence to act. This new way to search lets people share, discover, and interact with friends like they do in real life." This social sidebar integrates data from Quora, Facebook, and Twitter and Foursquare and others to help you find friends from whom you can ask questions who see what influential users and experts are saying about relevant topics. Much of this activity is primarily connected via Facebook, so you can like or comment on something from either Bing or Facebook, and see the results on Bing.
Bing's new UI will be released within the next few days to users in the US - but if you want to be one of the first to try it out, you can visit www.bing.com/new, to receive an email notification when it's available. And when it's available, it will be interesting to see if this version of social search can drive away traffic from the competition - and gain more of that critical market share.

The University of Michigan talked to 600 young adults about why they haven't gotten their driver's licenses. Some say can't be bothered. Some have other ways to get around.
The survey shows that the top reason these teens didn't get their license was that they were too busy, or they didn't have enough time. Presumably, that's both for driver's ed, and for the actual time it takes to prepare for the driving test and go to the DMV.
Another big group says that owning and maintaining a car is too expensive, and we know that's true. Once you buy a car, you still have to shell out for insurance, gas, parking, and whatever it costs to fix the bumper when you miscalculate getting past the tree next to the driveway.
But 31 percent said that they didn't get their license because they had someone else to drive that. You've heard about helicopter parents, right? The ones that step in to do everything for their kids?
I've heard of parents who don't want their kids to get licenses because the roads are scary. They also don't want them to be distracted from studying to get into Harvard or playing sports. "I'll take you," is probably a phrase heard in every suburban household in America.
So: how to get more teens to get licenses? Simple. Insist they carve out the time for driver's ed, grit your teeth, and let them drive once in a while. Allow them to drive on the highway when the traffic isn't too heavy — or what the heck, maybe when it is. That's the best way to learn. You have airbags, after all.
I'm the first person to say that not everyone likes to drive. I didn't, and while I got my license at 16, I barely drove afterward. I got a ride from my mom, and I rode with friends, and I walked to class.
My mom tried to get me interested in driving. She took me out every night after she got home from work, and we drove for about a square mile in our neighborhood. It just didn't take.
But then I got a summer job, in the opposite direction from her office. I had to ride a bus every day for 30 minutes each way. I didn't mind until it got hot, and all my primping efforts were ruined by the time I got to work.
The solution came when my mom took a vacation. She left the car keys where I could see them, and said, "If you use a lot of gas, fill up the car."
One morning, I just decided I'd drive to work by myself. That did it. Someone trusted me, and I had confidence in myself. I've never had a second thought about driving since then.
Did your folks drive you places? Are they still doing so? If you don't have a license, what will it take for you to go get one?

Research Summary
Dr. Eberhart and his lab members study the molecular genetics of medulloblastoma, low grade glioma, glioblastoma, uveal melanoma and other tumors of the brain and eye. One major focus is on Notch and other pathways which play a key role in both normal development and in neoplasia. They are currently analyzing the long terms effects of Notch blockade on cancer stem cells in brain and eye tumors, how therapeutic resistance emerges, and the basis of the sometimes antagonistic effects of various Notch receptors. They are also examining the role of c-Myc in the stem cell phenotype of cancer. Identifying novel genetic changes in ocular surface tumors and other poorly understood neoplasms represents another focus.
Dr. Eberhart works closely with Drs.Rodriguez and Raabe in a multidisciplinary research group. Their studies use our understanding of normal development to guide investigation of the neoplastic process. They have implicated Hedgehog, Notch and other developmentally significant signaling cascades in the initiation and ongoing growth of brain tumors. They are also engaged in preclinical testing of pharmacological agents that target multiple pathways in brain and eye tumors. To accomplish this they have generated new tumor models from surgical specimens and by making relevant oncogenic changes in progenitor cells. A related area of interest in the lab is the relationship between stem cells and cancer. The possibility that specific types of transformed stem cells represent the origins of brain and eye tumors, as well as the hypothesis that "cancer stem cells" are required for long-term tumor self renewal and growth, are both active areas of investigation.

I am a skills competition more than a dunk contest kind of guy. I like teams playing small ball more than home run hitters. I like footballs teams with a strong defense or a solid ground game more than long passes and touchdown celebrations. I like long winded sports metaphors more than… uh hippies…*
*A complete listing of things I like less than hippies: Spiders, welfare, the City of Detroit
One of the things I have noticed in raids lately is that a clean kill feels really good. Pulling off a last second win with only 3 people stand (I am looking at you Reliquary of Souls from 2 weeks ago) is exciting, but not nearly as satisfying as a clean kill. The raid leader always says something like "Well, at least he is dead, please don't play that poorly next next week because that was sloppy as hell".
But those sloppy kills bring me to my topic – when do you use shield wall. Here is the scenario – a fight that generally last 8-10 minutes is at 3% hp. Your healers are dead/dying with little to no mana. Your dps are dead/dying with little to no mana. The common instinct is to pop shield wall and cross your fingers. I think that instinct is wrong.
Lets say that average boss X takes 7 and a half minutes for your guild to kill under full raid dps. That would mean that you can knock off 1% every 4.5 seconds. But in the scenario where you are trying to pull off the heroics, you aren't going to have full raid dps, you will probably be at half capacity at best. And don't forget that when it says the boss is at 5%, he could actually be at 5.999999% and the last percent is literally the longest percent since it goes from 1.99% to 0%. So if half your dps is down then your dps can do maybe 1% hp every 9 seconds but that is also assuming there is no raid damage like arcane orbs, whirlwind, earthquake, murlocs, spore bats, etc. slowly killing your dps off too. If you shield wall, you will stay up for another 10 or 15 seconds during which time your raid can MAYBE take off 1-3%. Then you will die and then the boss will start one-shotting people. Your dps might be alive long enough while the boss kills them one at a time to take another 0.5-1% out of the boss. So, in the very best case you can maybe take another 4-5% out of the boss while you are dying. But chances are much better that you will wipe at 1% and be screaming that the 1% took forever.
You might get lucky and kill the boss but it will be sloppy as hell and the raid leader will implore the raid not to suck as badly next week. But chances are that you will wipe and have to try again. Now check this it, next attempt the boss is at 70% but your healers are silenced or cut off by doomfire or out of line of sight or you just took a damage spike and now you are about to die, what do you do? You die because you used your shield wall the last attempt to try and be a hero.
Your shield wall is a panic button, not a hero button. 9 times out of 10 when you try for last second heroics you end up wiping anyway. But when you can use your shield wall as a panic button, you will live through the dire straits every time. Those 10 seconds are more than enough time for your healers to get back in position or unsilenced or whatever.
The only time I recommend using a shield wall at the end of the fight is to bring it home. On some bosses they just feel a little out of control no matter how many times you do it and you feel like you are always on the brink of a wipe. Archimonde is the worst when it comes to this kind of thing. Vashj is a little like this and so is Tidewalker. For fights like that, when tank death is just a parry-gib away, if I have my trinkets and panic buttons up going into the last part of the fight, I will turtle up and become unkillable for the end. I will pop a nightmare seed, then my dodge trinket from moroes (best tanking trinket in the game IMO), then last stand, then shield wall. Depending on the boss fight I will time it so that my cooldowns will last to the very end of the fight. During this time my healers can lay off me a little and make sure the raid stays up.
In conclusion, shield wall is a panic button and should be used as such and should be preserved for true panic situations. Last second, low % boss attempts are NOT panic situations, they are cross your fingers situations and you shouldn't be burning a 30 minutes cooldown if the boss is at anything more than 1%. The only other time it is ok to use shield wall is at the end of an otherwise clean kill to make sure that it stays clean.
Keep this post in mind when you read my next post where I tell you that improved shield wall sucks.

Narcotics arrest in Orange County; second arrest in less than a month for one suspect
Some criminals never learn, and two suspects in Orange County seem to be unable to take a lesson from prior mistakes. Orange County deputies have arrested two men for methamphetamine possession in Orangefield, one of whom was arrested for the same charge less than a month ago and another who faces multiple felony charges posed in three separate indictments, OCSO Chief Deputy Clint Hodkinson reports.
On Thursday, March 6, at about 11:14 a.m., detectives with the Orange County Special Services Division were working patrol in the area of FM 105 near the Orangefield High School in Orange County when they observed the driver of a black Chevrolet truck commit a traffic violation. The detectives conducted a traffic stop on the truck, and it pulled into a parking lot of nearby gas station. As detectives approached the vehicle, they observed a synthetic marijuana cigarette in plain view on the center console of the truck. The driver and passenger were detained for possession of the synthetic marijuana.
Detectives searched the vehicle and found approximately 23 grams of methamphetamine, a small amount of Ecstasy, and numerous alprazolam tablets.
The driver was identified as 31-year-old Orange resident Scott Shaunesey, who was arrested less than a month ago for Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance in a Drug Free Zone, see related article at http://theexaminer.com/stories/news/drug-arrests-orange-county-deputies-find-meth-synthetic-marijuana. The passenger was identified as 29-year-old Christopher Briggs, also of Orange. Both men were arrested for Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance in a Drug Free Zone and were transported to the Orange County Jail.
Once at the jail, it was discovered that Briggs had two felony indictments for Tampering with a Government Document, and one felony indictment for Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle. The warrants had a bond of $25,000 each, totaling $75,000. There has been no bond set for the new charges for Shaunesey or Briggs. Both remain in custody at the Orange County Jail.
Sheriff Keith Merritt said the Sheriff's Office will diligently continue to eradicate drugs from all areas of Orange County's neighborhoods.

Everyone likes shiny technology; from rumors about the newest iPhone to reviews of the hottest TVs, it's your passion for the latest gadgets and gizmos that keeps this site running. But aspirations and practicalities are rarely the same thing, and so while we may be waiting with bated breath for the first OLEDs to arrive, we know that not many people will actually buy them. In reality, most people will be buying 32-inch televisions -- it's still the most popular size in North America. But if you're researching 32-inch TVs, you still want to know what to get, right?
The Samsung UN32EH4000F is a fine example of a no-frills television that gets the basics right. It has the best picture of the models we tested, and doesn't bother with frivolities like Smart TV. If you want online content, then stumping up for a $100 Apple TV is the best way to go. The EH4000 also bettered its rivals in terms of design -- it has a superslim bezel for a 32-inch TV -- and it comes with a backlit remote, which the others we compared it with didn't have.
If you want more features or better picture quality, you'll have to pay a lot more, which makes this Samsung the 32-incher I'd recommend.
Series information: I performed a hands-on evaluation of the Samsung UN32EH4000F, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. All sizes have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality.
If you're looking to fill a space in your living room, you don't want a gaudy TV uglifying things up; and compared with its peers the EH4000 is actually attractive. It features a slim bezel all around in a tasteful piano black, and while it doesn't have a swivel stand, the set is so light that it's just as easy to physically move anyway.
The remote control is the most fully featured of its kind, but usability is an issue. The remote is basically the same as its more expensive brethren, but shrunken, so all of the gaps are removed. Ergonomically, this makes changing channels and menu options by feel quite hard. Thankfully, the remote is backlit so you can see what you're doing in the dark.
|Models in series (details)
|Samsung UN26EH4000

|Samsung UN32EH4000F (reviewed)

|Refresh rate(s)
|Dejudder (smooth) processing
|Other: 1,366x768-pixel (720p) resolution; compatible with 1080i and 1080p sources
As the Samusng EH4000 costs the same as buying a couple of peripherals for the company's flagship sets, you can't expect much in the way of features. Like the other 32-inchers we tested, the Samsung has a 720p (1,366x768-pixel) resolution, but it will accept a 1080p signal. At this screen size, you won't notice the lower resolution unless you practically touch your nose to the TV.
Also worth noting is the full-array LED backlight, as opposed to the fluorescent variety still found on most budget competitors. LED alone doesn't mean better picture quality, but it does help the EH4000 stay slim. There's has no dimming or other fancy tricks but it does include the company's Clear Motion Rate 60 processing for some smoothing.
While we don't usually mention this about more expensive TVs, as they usually include a wider range of streaming options, the Samsung does include some media playback functionality as we'll detail shortly.
Picture settings:
The Samsung offers some advanced controls for such an inexpensive TV, including a two-point grayscale. Despite its lack of a Color Management System, I was able to eke quite a good picture out of this television.
The Samsung lacks Internet connectivity but does offer movie, music and photo playback through the single USB port. Other connections include two HDMI ports (one each of component and composite) and a digital audio-out for external audio from the onboard tuner. Interestingly for a small TV it lacks an analog PC input, which perhaps excludes it from use as a monitor for some people, though there is always the option of using an HDMI port.

There's something about wearing a denim bikini or dress.
You feel… kind of iconic.
Like Brigitte Bardot back in her day. Or Halle Berry in that James Bond film where she walks out of the surf.
Because denim is usually designated to jeans, people notice you in a denim bikini or dress. In their head they think… "hmm… cool… intriguing… I wonder where she got that!?"
They've got an "understated sexy" feel to them.
A denim bikini or dress is kind of rare. You don't see too many around -- like you don't see too many Picasso paintings. So when you when you wear either… you feel special.
So, are you ready to feel iconic, cool and oh so special at the beach, pool or block party this year and next?
If so, the Wicked Weasel Denim Bikini & Dress belongs on your body.
Dare to be different… grab 'em and see for yourself!

5-12-11 PNC Park
Rain was forecasted for today, so the Pirates were hitting early. Amy was working the game and was there with me on the Riverwalk. She had bought me two steak sandwiches.
It was still early, so I figured the big lefties weren't up yet, so Amy and I were just talking with a ball landed literally two feet to my left and rolled into the river. I was upset that I wasn't paying attention like I should've been.
The ball floated awhile and sank.
I caught my first ball of the day here, as it took one bounce in the stadium and right into my glove.
I misplayed another ball that rolled into the river, I just over ran it, because a big pack of pedestrians were walking toward the spot where it bounced out, and I was overly aggressive.
Amy then found a ball. Since she is an employee and was working this game, I counted it. It must've bounced out and hit the trees to my right, because it was just sitting in the grass. She found it when she went to go into the stadium to begin her work.
My third ball was another one that bounced out of the stadium. I played it just right and I caught it on the fly as it took one hop off the riverwalk and right into my glove.
Finally, I misplayed another ball. Another one bounced out, but I ran too far in on it. I was standing on the razor grass, so I didn't want to jump and break my ankle, so I tried to reach up for it, but it was a few feet over my glove. Nick Pelescak had the play backed up, but it got past him too. Some random passerby picked the ball up as it slowly rolled toward the river. Had he not been there either Nick or I probably could've reached the ball, as it seemed to not have much momentum if some random guy was able to get it.
It started raining then, as usual, right at 4:35. This wiped out batting practice.
I still went in, and managed to find ball #4 in the fourth row,
and ball #5 in the front row.
I found them probably five minutes after the gates had opened. Zac Weiss was the first one in and had already covered this section, but must've just missed them in his haste.
I looked for more when the rest of the stadium opened at 5:30, but there was nothing else to be found, so I went home.
The game ended up being rained out, which is great, because it means it'll be made up, which will give us an extra batting practice.
Today's baseballs:
Sweet spots:
Game: 5 balls (2 hit, 1 thrown, 2 found)
Season: 118 balls (45 hit, 31 thrown, 24 device, 17 found)
Games: 19 games
Average: 6.21 balls per game
Career: 1,240 balls
Attendance: 1 (rain out)

Question Re: EA Cosmology, Methodology
Dec 10, 2009, 01:02 PM »
Hi All,
The basis of this question comes from the fact that when one looks at phasal relationships, Pluto (soul) is the end of the line so to speak. Every other planet, asteroid, hypothetical point, etc. is measured in terms of phase, in descending geocentric orbit and counterclockwise ie; Pluto to Neptune, Neptune to Uranus, Uranus to Saturn etc.
With one exception. The Sun ( the creative power of the individualized ego manifested from Source). In relation to the Sun, the rule reverses and every planet, asteroid, etc. is now measured in terms of phase from this point of reference.
In metaphysical terms, and in phenomenal reality we are here dealing with two ends of the spectrum of manifestation as we know it, within the boundaries of our solar system.
Since the methodology is what it is, with the rule And the exception to the rule, metaphysically does the soul enter manifestation through the Sun and get flung out to Pluto where it then begins the long haul back towards source?
And, or what the heck does that rule/exception speak to? Trying to wrap my head around the apparent paradox to come to the bottom line and would appreciate help from anyone willing to comment.
God'dess Bless,
Very Active Member

The basis of this question comes from the fact that when one looks at phasal relationships, Pluto (soul) is the end of the line so to speak.
Basically, you have it backwards. The Soul is the BEGINNING of the line, not the end. The way you conceptualize this reveals your inner state - read on.
Every other planet, asteroid, hypothetical point, etc. is measured in terms of phase, in descending geocentric orbit and counterclockwise ie; Pluto to Neptune, Neptune to Uranus, Uranus to Saturn etc.
With one exception. The Sun ( the creative power of the individualized ego manifested from Source). In relation to the Sun, the rule reverses and every planet, asteroid, etc. is now measured in terms of phase from this point of reference
You referred to this in your earlier post also.
The Sun is the base point in calculating phases because of its physical central position in our solar system. That is why and that is all. That does not give the Sun any inherent specialness or uniqueness. You are projecting that yourself onto a simple mathematical calculation.
You may want to give some thought to the nature of Sun/Leo/5th house in your own chart/consciousness, and how you may be projecting a Leonian sense of specialness and importance on things where it really isn't.
Since the methodology is what it is, with the rule And the exception to the rule, metaphysically does the soul enter manifestation through the Sun and get flung out to Pluto where it then begins the long haul back towards source?
Again, backwards. You are projecting your own inner confusion about the relationship between Soul and personality outward. The Soul is the source of everything. You don't even exist, in reality, in the way you believe you do. You are but an emanation of the Soul. Leo does not like this, until it finally has to face its true position in the order of things. Symbolically, our Sun, what we see as the center of it all, is a small star on the far reaches of one arm of a galaxy we call Milky Way. In the scheme of things, our Sun is microscopic. If the Sun is microscopic, what does that say about the significance of Eric and Steve?
As example, you came here a few weeks ago, read the rules of what is and is not appropriate here, and then gave yourself permission to break the clearly stated rules about posting personal information by posting your own chart, even though you stated yourself in your post that you knew you were not supposed to do that. You did not ask permission, you just gave yourself a selfless-sounding justification for doing so - what you would learn from doing so would help others. In essence you put yourself first and called it serving Goddess. I'm not suggesting your desire to help others is insincere. But it is limited by unresolved issues within yourself that you would be well served to look at. And they seem to revolve around the issue you keep bringing up, and what I refer to here.
It boils down to, "who is driving the car?" Your own Soul is confused about this, is seeking resolution to its confusion. Why do you think you have a Leo-oriented chart? This is an expression of your own Soul's ponderings, grappling with the very issues you keep bringing up - who is driving the car, Soul or personality?
The answer is, the Soul is driving the car. In reality, the Soul has
the car, and is driving it while pretending to be Eric, for purposes of its own evolution. Life begins with the inner, never with the outer. Anything Out must have a source that created it - the Source is the baseline. The manifested expression can never be the baseline.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your response. Ouch. Cancer Moon/5th conj. N.No. Leo took a direct hit to the ego from its waxing opposition to Saturn Aqu./11th conj. S.No. In my confusion I must have pushed the rewind button. I'd appreciate the opportunity for further discussion but it's late and i must be up early.
Pleasant Dreams My Friend,

Good Morning,
I wish I had time to respond in full this morning but my mother in law arrived last night, I have a rental tenant to take care of, and I had to respond to a friend who could use a few words of encouragement right now. So unfortunately this will have to be piecemeal for now
After drinking some green tea too late in the evening and then reading your response Steve, I had intended to go to sleep because it was was rather late. The bummer for me was the combination previously mentioned prevented the sleep from coming so I had several hours of wee hour soul searching last night and have to leave it at that for the moment. Sorry, I write rather slowly as I feel a need to be discerning in my choice of words. Nothing new here, always been that way.
Till Later.
Goddess Bless,

Hi Steve,
I would sincerely like to commend you for your dedication in protecting this space within the community. I not only understand the rules, I agree they are necessary in preserving the intention of the message board as a sacred place of learning. A modern mystery school with a worthy guardian.
My original post was really predicated on the excitement I felt while reading the transcript on Phases for it initiated me into a new paradigm of beginning to discern the relationships inherent in a chart. However, I totally botched it when I began to feel inadequate regarding my fluency in the archetypes of the planets themselves and indeed was seeking information on questions regarding the paradigm of learning itself to shed some light on that inadequacy and took what I thought was a shortcut. I ordered the DVD An Archetypal Overview of the Planets which would have been the appropriate thing to do in the first place.
Indeed it was from that space that I rationalized posting my chart after seeing a couple exceptions to the rules. Without you pointing that out with my question on the other post it wouldn't have become so apparent. So I appreciate that feedback.
To this end I would like to add my public apology to you for my breach of the rules. In your wisdom to bring this into the daylight of of this message board, my "schooling" has provided more poignant reflection than would have occurred behind the scenes which is where I had originally tried to direct this and sweep my infraction under the carpet.
Also, I owe an apology to the members and moderators of this board who contribute selflessly, with large hearts, and in the spirit of true service. I hope to aspire to that some day...
Goddess Bless,

As the son of one of the Bomb Brothers of Greeley, Colorado, nine-year-old Angel "Litoboy" Ramos has a lot to live up to. Most nine-year-olds are at a playground or playing video games, but Angel often finds himself in the garage, adding the finishing touches to his Lowrider bicycle. His father, Frank Ramos, knows quality and wanted his young son to learn responsibility as well as enjoy the Lowrider culture. They say the apple never falls far from the tree, and Angel has taken to his bike building hobby wholeheartedly, dedicating himself to creating something that both he and his father can be proud of.
Angel's building career began with a '70s Schwinn "Paleta" bike that his father cut apart. A 26-inch beach cruiser body was molded onto it and a tank was added and insulated to keep temperatures cold. A custom air-ride suspension was added to set the bicycle apart from the others, using a Viair compressor and 3/8 valves which raises and drops the bike with one switch. Eighty-eight spoke baby Daytons were also added to maintain the Lowrider stance. Frank and his son, Angel, added an alligator seat, twisted pedals, and rearview mirrors to complete the body. Angel began the sanding process so his father could add his specialty; a House of Kolor Root Beer Brown Kandy over a Crimson Red basecoat.
Happily following in his father's footsteps, Angel joined Majesty C.C. and puts his new custom bicycle to use throughout the neighborhood. "It's a good way to keep Angel out of trouble and have him learn a business at his age," Frank adds. "Winning car shows with his bike is just a bonus." The Ramos boys wish to thank Majesty and all their friends and family that helped them reach their goal of a show-stopping bike with "El Paletero."

A recent blog on Parenting.com got me wondering, are the lives we present on Facebook real? And should they necessarily have to be?
The writer of the blog opted to not post an adorable picture of her children because they looked far happier than they actually were, and suggested a far more congenial relationship than actually existed at the time.
"I thought about posting it on Facebook because I was proud of our little snowman and I wanted to tag my cousins who got us the awesome snowman kit but then I thought...nope, can't do it. The kids look too cute and happy and sweet. And they honestly were none of the above at that moment. More importantly, nor was I," said the blogger.
My knee jerk reaction was 'fair enough.' But then I thought more on it and thought 'really, who cares?'
Related: Rebecca Eckler's Family Portraits
I am pretty honest in my photo representation of my life with my children on Facebook. I posted many pictures of my screaming newborns, and when my children are doing something particularly impertinent, I'll post that too. I'm the kind of person who is OK with the good the bad and the ugly sides of parenting and representing them truthfully. So who cares if one picture suggests a rosier picture than reality? I'd probably post an adorable picture of my son pretending to pout in between bouts of hysterical laughter. I won't be concerned he world will think my kid is miserable. It's just a picture, a snapshot, a second in time. It doesn't represent more than that.
"What if a mom who was having a bad day with her brood saw my status update and thought, sh*t, I should be outside with my kids or I should be building a snowman. If that mom can do it, so can I. Well, I couldn't do it. And so I didn't post it."
Thankfully my friends know me well enough to not be influenced by a utopic picture and look at it and think that I am some Martha Stewart-Carol Brady mother. Maybe if I routinely present my life differently than I actually live it I'd care more about the lies seeping through pictures of happy-looking children. And really, if one of them sees a picture and thinks 'I should be outside with my children' then is that such a bad thing?
Even if those kids in those pictures were miserable and misbehaving, even if everyone was mad and frustrated, that picture is sweet. That mother was able to capture a moment in time where everyone looks happy and proud of the snowman they created. And for that reason, the picture should have been posted. It doesn't matter about the minutes leading up to that picture and the minutes immediately following. All of that frustration culminated in a pretty sweet picture of her children and that makes her efforts having them outside worth it.
There is something to be said for capturing the small moments in an otherwise hectic and harried life. Who cares if it wasn't as it appeared. Years from now the frustration of that day will be forgotten and the moment captured treasured.
It's not lying to post a happy-looking picture that isn't really representative. It's not misleading. It's saying 'that's right, my life is hectic. But we get these moments too, and this moment, the one in this photo, is kind of sweet.'
I post the crying pictures, I post the happy pictures. I will post the pictures of the first time my daughter gives herself a hair cut and when the kids find the Sharpies and decorate our walls. I no more assume people will look at those pictures and think my life is a constant gong show devoid of happy moments than I would assume a happy picture suggests life is like that all the time.
Sometimes it's nice to see a happy moment captured in an otherwise messy scenario. Because the fact you can proves it's there. And that is worth sharing.

An alligator with an orange water wing on its butt and a rubber tail. This marvel of science is given to us by the Phoenix Herpetological Society, because apparently everyone in Florida was taking the week off from doing insane things.
Mr. Stubbs is a 7-foot-long alligator who lost his tail at an early age. His prosthetic is made from rubber, and molded from an alligator cadaver of roughly the same size. The tail was dissected to be mass- and weight-proportional—so there's some actual science here—and attached by nylon straps. And it's actually made Mr. Stubbs even clumsier.
The 11-year-old alligator learned to swim in a local pool, getting around by doggy paddling. His new tail will ultimately be a benefit (we think!), but until then, the Herpetological Society had the prescience to stick the water wing on his behind. Which is, of course, just about perfect.

From Diversity to Consensus, and Austrian Economics
Or, to put it differently (since we all use models): economists seem particularly uninterested in testing their hypotheses against evidence. Why do that, if all economic models express "universal laws"?
During the first year after the peak of the crisis in September 2008, however, a positive side effect of the economists' apriorism was that it produced several different hypotheses that, in this case, were relatively easy to test against evidence.
For instance, there was the Austrian business-cycle theory. But it runs up against two (not necessarily fatal) questions when it is applied to the specific crisis at hand: "Why housing?" and "Why a banking crisis?"
I.e., if low interest rates were the cause of the crisis, why wasn't there a general overinvestment in capital goods, as the Austrian theory predicts? In fact, there was an overinvestment in housing, a labor-intensive good with a short production period (roughly 3 months). Why not, instead, an overproduction of jet airplanes or skyscrapers?
One may supplement the Austrian theory with explanations such as Stephen Gjerstad and Vernon Smith's Critical Review focus on the favorable tax treatment given to home-equity capital gains, or Peter Wallison's Critical Review focus on federal housing policy, which, via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, added to low interest rates even more favorable terms for home buyers (e.g., no down payments).
But then we aren't really talking about a specifically Austrian theory any more: nearly everyone, of every theoretical stripe, blames low interest rates as a facilitating condition of the crisis. And while low interest rates may (perhaps) have been necessary, they were not sufficient, to cause the crisis. And they did not operate in the specifically Austrian fashion of boosting spending on more "roundabout" methods of production.
Moreover--why should a housing crisis have turned into a banking crisis?
Brian S. Wesbury's new book, It's Not as Bad as You Think (Wiley 2010), demonstrates that the collapse of housing did not cause the recession. It was the banks' overinvestment in mortgage-backed bonds, whose value was called into question during the panic of September 2008, that caused the recession--by freezing bank lending. There is no known macroeconomic explanation for the banks' purchases of these bonds; so it must have been caused by institutional or microeconomic factors.
Nonetheless, some "Austrians" continue to push "the Austrian" theory, even though that theory is but a minor aspect of the rich Austrian legacy.
Back when I received an informal education in Austrian economics in New York City in the mid-1980s (via Israel Kirzner and Don Lavoie), and then, more intensively, through editing them and virtually every other Austrian economist in Critical Review in the early 1990s, Austrian business-cycle theory was seen by Austrians as an embarrassment. The distinctive thing about "Austrian" economics, it was thought, was not business-cycle theory but the Austrian focus on human ignorance.
This focus is evident in the best explicitly Austrian books ever written: Lavoie's Rivalry and Central Planning: The Socialist Calculation Debate Reconsidered (CUP 1985) and Mario Rizzo and Gerald P. O'Driscoll's The Economics of Time and Ignorance (2nd ed. Routledge 1996). This tradition continues with Amar Bhide's forthcoming masterpiece, A Call to Judgment: Sensible Finance for a Dynamic World (OUP 2010), which attributes the crisis to the spread of mistaken theories of finance, such as the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
Karen Vaughn's Austrian Economics in America (CUP 1998) is a challenging, exciting history of this epistemically oriented Austrian economics, now largely abandoned. Most Austrians have now, sadly, adopted (perhaps due to the influence of Public Choice theory) the mainstream economists' obsession with rational-choice game theory (the strategic interaction of knowledgeable self-interested agents), which tends to reduce error to perverse incentives rather than genuine ignorance. So all that Austrians have left to distinguish themselves from the mainstream is Hayek's old business-cycle theory, which may or may not explain some business cycles but does not seem sufficient to explain this one.
Meanwhile, non-Austrian economists have gravitated toward two game-theoretic "moral hazard" stories that fit with their predisposition to reduce human error to misaligned incentives.
First, the moral hazard of "too big to fail" (TBTF). Empirical problem: Before the bailouts, nothing of this scale had ever happened, so no bank could have been sure they would be bailed out. And if one actually reads accounts of the decision making in the years leading up to the crisis, such as Gillian Tett's Fool's Gold and William D. Cohan's House of Cards, no decision makers factored bailouts into their calculations. Why? Because they didn't think they were doing anything particularly risky (an ignorance-based human error), so they didn't even consider the chances of being bailed out.
Second, the moral hazard of "corporate compensation systems," i.e., bonuses.
Empirical problem #1: When this theory took hold, there was virtually no evidence for it (whereas now there is one study for it and one against it)--see Wladimir's and my post on the topic (below).
Empirical problem #2: There was, and remains, the following overwhelming evidence against the theory: 93% of the banks' mortgage-backed securities were either guaranteed by the U.S. government (i.e., Fannie and Freddie) or were rated AAA--the "safest" and lowest-yielding securities available. Triple-A bonds are the last thing revenue-seeking, bonus-hungry, risk-indifferent (i.e., risk-knowledgeable, rather than risk-ignorant) bankers would have bought.
Yet now the Corporate Compensation Myth is the hegemonic story of the crisis, all but universally accepted by financial journalists, politicians, regulators--and scholars.
Why? Because it fits the scholars' rationalistic predilection for incentives stories that reduce an apparently widespread error to the knowing, deliberate actions of selfish actors--i.e., "greedy bankers." And guess what? That is exactly the simplistic model that journalists, politicians, and the general public are inclined to believe, evidence or not.

I'm guilty.
Nominal expenditure falls, and I explain it by an imbalance between the quantity of money and the demand to hold it.
As for Austrian theory, malinvestment does seem to be a significant part of the current crisis, and while simple stories of round about methods of production may not apply to building a house, building a lumber mill so that someone may live in a house 50 years from now (and 49, and 48 down to next year too) is a round about production technique.
I don't think monetary policy mistakes in the naughties were all that important to explaining all the malinvestment in housing, but that there really needs to be an reallocation of labor and that new types of capital goods need to be built to replace inappropriate ones, and that this will negatively impact the productive capacity of the economy for some time--well, that seems to be important.

This is a real category mistake -- based on a grossly false picture of "science".
Taking in particular historical contingencies has nothing to with using or not using model -- or with the bogey of "testing", a joke of an understanding of science when younare talking of complex phenomena. E.g. think of how inappropriate all this is when talking a out Darwinian biology, just as an example:
"The most shocking result of having researched the causes of the financial crisis for the last year and a half is this discovery: economists have no compunctions about answering empirical questions, such as what caused the specific crisis of 2008, with general theoretical models, whether macro- or micro- in nature, that may or may not have any applicability to the actual historical event at hand.
Or, to put it differently (since we all use models): economists seem particularly uninterested in *testing* their hypotheses against evidence."

In Hayek housing is a _long term_ capital good.
If you are going to attack Hayek's work, it helps to know it.
"I.e., if low interest rates were the cause of the crisis, why wasn't there a general overinvestment in capital goods, as the Austrian theory predicts? In fact, there was an overinvestment in housing .."

First, the moral hazard of "too big to fail" (TBTF).
Roger Koppl has articulated a variation on the essence of this problem with his "big player effects." What might be "too big to fail" is the idea that a hegemonic regulatory body, bank, etc. ought be kept afloat to prevent the system from suffering a severe lack of faith.

They bought AAA not because they were safer, but because of regulatory arbitrage.

I can't tell if you are for or against the Austrians. In any case, it doesn't really matter. A housing crises turns into a banking crises because of the toxic mortgages on the banks balance sheets. Seems pretty simple to me. People default, banks fail due to credit contraction after they have to write-off the debt. People buy houses with loans, the banks and mortgage lenders provide those loans. I don't understand why you don't understand this.

|Making a fresh mojito is so easy! Here's how.
Mary's Perfect MojitoI have loved mojitos since the first time I ever tasted one, and while Cuba may have been the birthplace of the mojito, they always make me think of Miami and the Florida Keys.
What a beautiful drive that is between the two, and that 7-mile bridge to Key West, a place so laid back that even the dogs saunter around so slowly they appear to be sleepwalking and the few traffic lights seem almost lazy. Where people get around on bicycles and scooters and nobody is in any kind of a hurry.
Traveling that long road, you are completely surrounded by hues and shades of blue and green that it seems no human eye could possibly have ever really seen before elsewhere, and water so clear it's as if you can see all the way through to the other side of the world. It's breathtaking and captivating and it will bring tears to your eyes because it is truly one of the most beautiful places in this country. Our own little tropical paradise.
And what fun. Days spent snorkeling off of a reef and making friends with barracuda and nurse sharks, odd looking, fluorescent fish so close you can touch them. Starting your evening with a champagne sunset sail on a schooner, then dinner of conch fritters or chowder, escargots in a buttery, garlic sauce with mushrooms, stone crab claws dipped in drawn butter, Key West shrimp or fresh catch of the day. Ending the night over live music and cocktails at Sloppy Joe's. Oh take me back now!!
If I close my eyes, I can transport right back to the Pier House Resort, in a chaise lounge by the pool bar, engulfed by a jungle of tall palms and tropical plants, sipping on a mojito, and listening to a band playing songs of the islands, the night sky so clear that you could see every star forever. Ahhh... yes.
Fresh mint is crucial for the perfect mojito, as is fresh lime juice. I have a potted mint plant that I have been nurturing for so many years that I've forgotten how many now, and I started a new one this winter in my Aerogarden, transferring it to another larger pot. You almost cannot kill mint, so as I suspected, despite beginning it's life as a hydroponic plant, it thrived in soil after the transfer too - which brings me to this.
Do not, under any circumstances, plant mint in your garden. Not anywhere. You may love it at first but in short time it will begin to take over the landscape like a noxious weed, choking out any other plants you have in the same garden and you will not be able to get rid of it. Keep it contained in a pot. Unless, of course, you actually want it as a ground cover.

Recipe: Mary's Perfect Fresh Mojito©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 5 min | Yield: About 2 quarts
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup packed mint leaves
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 8 to 9)
- 1-1/2 cups quality rum
- About 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 to 2 cups club soda, to top off pitcher
- Lime curls and extra mint leaves, for garnish, optional
Boil sugar and water just until sugar is dissolved and mixture is clear; set aside to cool. Muddle the mint leaves with a muddler or wooden spoon in the bottom of a 2 quart pitcher. Top with fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Muddle again, just enough to release the oils of the mint but do not pulverize them. Add rum and ice, topping off with club soda; stir well.
Cook's Notes: In the summer, I use simple syrup to sweeten a lot of beverages, such as homemade lemonade, sweet tea, snowball syrup, sangria, hurricanes and my iced tea cocktail, and even my fruit salad, so I like to prepare a larger batch and keep it in the refrigerator. You may use a lemon lime soda like 7-up or Sprite instead of club soda, but understand that will increase the overall level of sweetness. May also substitute Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice, if you don't happen to have fresh limes, but that will also affect the sweetness level and you will likely want to adjust the amount of simple syrup in both cases.
By the Glass: In a tall highball or collins glass, add the mint leaves. Top with fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Muddle a few times, just enough to release the oils of the mint but not to pulverize them. Add 2 ounces of rum on top and fill glass with ice. Top it off with club soda or lemon lime soda and stir well. May also muddle in a shaker and then strain into a glass.
Variation: Muddle a quartered tangerine (satsuma) with the mint leaves.
Cucumber Mint Mojito: For each glass, puree 1/4 of a medium, peeled cucumber with the lime juice. Muddle with the mint leaves and proceed as above.
Grapefruit Mojito: Zest strips of grapefruit for garnish. Peel 1/2 of grapefruit and segment for glasses, cutting away all pith; juice remaining half and add to mojito mixture. Add segment of grapefruit per glass and garnish with zest strips.

Our crew works pretty well despite being spread around the country: there are daily emails, phone calls, instant messages, texts and video chats. However we still can't deny the value in working good, old fashioned, side-by-side. Leah decided to take some time at the beginning of February to head up to Portland and work with Jeremy and Elaine. It turned out there was plenty of work to be done and good times to be had and a 5 day trip eventually became a 2 week stay. Leah was fortunate to have a room at Adam's house- one of our past tour participants that we picked up on tour in the Midwest in 2008.
Jeremy and Elaine have settled nicely into Portland and have gotten to know the Portland food scene better than ever. The guys from Ned Ludd sure are happy to have them around. Troy MacLarty, a Portland chef of the Chez Panisse family, was guest chef in one of our Portland dinners last year and is also now working at Ned Ludd. They're a good crew to know and in the two weeks Leah was in Portland they visited many restaurants: from Le Pigeon, Park Kitchen and Autentica to Pok Pok, Bamboo Sushi, Clyde Common and The Screen Door.
In talking about a 2010 dinner with Ned Ludd, the idea of the having the event at Cameron Winery came up. Jeremy & Elaine are already familiar and big fans of Cameron Winery. One of the special parts of having a dinner there is that the winery is closed to the public 364 days a year. Troy is a good friend of John Paul, the Cameron winemaker, and arranged for us to have a scouting visit out to the winery. As John Paul was on a spur-of-the-moment trip to Europe, Scott showed us around the grounds and in the cave. Cameron Winery is a special place with a good philosophy and a great sense of humor. We hope it works out and we can have our guests join us for a table set at the winery!
