EclipseLink 2.1: Enhanced FetchGroup Support
This feature will make major enhancements to EclipseLink's existing FetchGroup support to extends its use beyond lazy loading of basics to address:
Related Bugs
This feature will enhance FetchGroup to address the following requirements:
The enhancement to FetchGroup support will include addressing the following requirements:
- Default FetchGroup will be defined when one or more basic mappings are configured LAZY and the entity class implements FetchGroupTracker (typically introduced through weaving).
- The default FetchGroup defined by mappings will not involve relationships
- The default FetchGroup can be customized through API
- Named FetchGroup can be defined using annotations, eclipselink-orm.xml, or API
- A FetchGroup is assumed to include all required attributes even if not specified. These required attributes will be added to the FetchGroup when it is initialzied
- Initialization of default and named FetchGroup occurs when the FetchGroup manager is initialized
- Dynamic FetchGroup are initialized when first used.
Query Usage
- The default FetchGroup is used on any query/find operation when no FetchGroup is specified
- A query/find can be customized to not use the default FetchGroup.
- A named FetchGroup can be specified that will be used if it exists
- Can be specified using JPA query hint or directly on the native query object
- If the named FetchGroup cannot be found in the descriptor hierarchy none will be used a warning message logged
Triggering Attempt to access an attribute that's not part of the fetch group triggers reading of the rest of the object:
- Outside transaction entire object (fetch group members included) is refreshed in the shared cache.
- Inside transaction the previously fetched attributes are NOT refreshed. That means that:
- Changes that were potentially made to the fetched attributes by the user won't be overridden.
- Optimistic lock exception will be thrown (on commit or flush) if the object changed in the data base since read originally (version field is always part of any fetch group).
Cached Entities
- If an entity is already cached (shared, isolated, UOW) then the resulting entity must have all of the items specified in the FetchGroup loaded.
- If the cached object has FetchGroup then resulting object will have a FetchGroup that is the union of the original one and the new one.
- That allows individual triggering of the attributes originally excluded from the fetch group (as opposed to all at once):
- Before accessing the not fetched attribute re-select the object with a new fetch group that contains this attribute only.
- That allows individual triggering of the attributes originally excluded from the fetch group (as opposed to all at once):
- When returning an entity that is partial the FetchGroup MUST always include all items that are populated
- If the cached object has FetchGroup then resulting object will have a FetchGroup that is the union of the original one and the new one.
Detaching Partial Entities
- Entities that are detached when they are partially populated based on a FetchGroup must maintain a FetchGroup in their state so that what has been loaded versus what has not been is known.
- Attempts to access unfetched attributes will cause an exception to be thrown
- Modifying the state of a partial entity will cause its detached FetchGroup to be enhanced to include additional attributes that are set
- in the case of collections the full collection must be set
- When a partial entity with a FetchGroup is merged into a persistence context only those items defined in the FetchGroup will be merged
- The cascade MERGE configurations on the mappings will be used and thus items in the FetchGroup without cascade MERGE configured will be ignored.
Usage Examples
The following usage examples are provided to assist in the understanding of this new functionality. The complete implementation details are cobvered in the design section of this specification.
In order to use a FetchGroup developers must configure default, named, or dynamic FetchGroup instances for use in queries, copying, and merging of entities.
Default FetchGroup
The default FetchGroup is determined through the use of fetch=LAZY on basic mappings. There is no support for relationships in default the default FetchGroup unless the default FetchGroup is manually configured on an entity type's descriptor using API (DescritporCustomizer).
DescriptorCustomizer Example
FetchGroup phoneFG = new FetchGroup(); phoneFG.addAttribute("number"); ClassDescriptor phoneDescriptor = session.getClassDescriptor(PhoneNumber.class); phoneDescriptor.getFetchGroupManager().setDefaultFetchGroup(phoneFG);
Named FetchGroup
A named FetchGroup can be configured through annotations or API (DecsriptorCustomizer). This feature includes extensions to the @FetchGroup annotation and eclipselink-orm.xml to support defining FetchGroup items for relationships.
Simple Annotation Example
A defined named FetchGroup works the same as a dynamic FetchGroup where initially no attributes exist in the FetchGroup and only the minimal required attributes for identity and version will be added.
@Entity @FetchGroup(name="named-example", attributes={ @FetchAttribute(name="id"), @FetchAttribute(name="version"), @FetchAttribute(name="name"), }) public class MyEntity { @Id private int id; @Version private long version; private String name; private int size;
This same FetchGroup can be specified minimally by exclsuing the required identity and version attributes that will be added automatically as:
@Entity @FetchGroup(name="named-example", attributes={ @FetchAttribute(name="name"), })
Relationships Annotation Example
When specifying a relationship it is assumed (in 2.1) that the target of the relationship should be minimally loaded (id and version attributes).
@Entity @FetchGroup(name="named-example", attributes={ @FetchAttribute(name="id"), @FetchAttribute(name="version"), @FetchAttribute(name="firstName"), @FetchAttribute(name="lastName"), @FetchAttribute(name="address") }) public class Employee{
In this example when the address attribute is loaded based on the result of a query using this named FetchGroup it will only have its minimal attributes loaded.
@Entity @FetchGroup(name="named-example", attributes={ @FetchAttribute(name="id"), @FetchAttribute(name="version"), @FetchAttribute(name="firstName"), @FetchAttribute(name="lastName"), @FetchAttribute(name="address.city") }) public class Employee{
In this example above the address.city attribute is specified meaning that when the address is loaded its minimal attributes (identity and version) plus the city attribute will be loaded.
EclipseLink ORM XML Example
TODO: Add example of how a FetchGroup with relationships is defined in XML
Descriptor Customizer Example
public class EmployeeFetchGroupCustomizer implements DescriptorCustomizer { public void customize(ClassDescriptor descriptor) throws Exception { FetchGroup<Employee> fg = new FetchGroup<Employee>("Employee.fg"); fg.addAttribute("id"); fg.addAttribute("version"); fg.addAttribute("firstName"); fg.addAttribute("lastName"); fg.addAttribute("address.city"); descriptor.getFetchGroupManager().addFetchGroup(fg); } }
A FetchGroup is used in the processing of a query when a default FetchGroup exists on the entity type's descriptor or one is specified on the query.
Named FetchGroup Example
Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT e FROM Employee e WHERE e.id = :ID"); query.setParameter("ID", Queries.minimumEmployeeId(em)); query.setHint(QueryHints.FETCH_GROUP_NAME, "test");
Dynamic FetchGroup Example
Query query = em.createQuery("SELECT e FROM Employee e WHERE e.gender = :GENDER"); query.setParameter("GENDER", Gender.Male); // Define the fields to be fetched on Employee FetchGroup fg = new FetchGroup(); fg.addAttribute("id"); fg.addAttribute("version"); fg.addAttribute("firstName"); fg.addAttribute("lastName"); fg.addAttribute("address.city"); fg.addAttribute("address.postalCode"); // Configure the dynamic FetchGroup query.setHint(QueryHints.FETCH_GROUP, fg); List<Employee> emps = query.getResultList();
Overlapping FetchGroup Queries
Two FetchGroup can be used on different queries for an entity but each only loads one LOB without causing the N additional LOB columns from being loaded.
// Employee has several lob attributes that are very expensive to read. // To avoid reading the lobs a fetch group is used. Query query = em1.createQuery("SELECT e FROM Employee e WHERE e.id = 1"); // Employee read into em cache with only firstName and lastName attributes // (+ primary key and version that are automatically added to any fetch group). FetchGroup<Employee> namesFG = new FetchGroup<Employee>("namesFG"); namesFG.addAttribute("firstName"); namesFG.addAttribute("lastName"); query.setHint(QueryHints.FETCH_GROUP_NAME, namesFG); emp = query.getSingleResult(); em1.close(); // After em1 is closed the Employee object remains in the shared cache. // The Employee object has EntityFetchGroup that indicates which attributes has been fetched: {id, version, firstName, lastName} // The user needs to work with lob1 attribute, however accessing // not fetched attribute would trigger reading of the whole object, including not required attributes lob2, ...lob10. // Instead the Employee object is read with a new fetch group that consists only of lob1: FetchGroup<Employee> lob1FG = new FetchGroup<Employee>("lob1FG"); lob1FG.addAttribute("lob1"); Query query = em2.createQuery("SELECT e FROM Employee e WHERE e.id = 1"); query.setHint(QueryHints.FETCH_GROUP_NAME, lob1FG); // the Employee object is found in the shared cache, // the attributes that are not found in the cached Employee's EntityFetchGroup (lob1) are read from the db. // The resulting object fetched attributes is the union of the two fetch groups: {id, version, firstName, lastName, lob1} emp = query.getSingleResult(); // lob1 has been already fetched - no reading from the db is required. emp.lob1();
Detached Entities
The following usage examples illustrate how a FetchGroup can be used with detached entities.
Copy using custom policy
ObjectCopyingPolicy policy = new ObjectCopyingPolicy(); policy.addAttribute("id"); JpaEntityManager elem = em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class); Employee empCopy = elem.copy(emp, policy);
Copy using LoadGroup
ObjectCopyingPolicy policy = loadGroup.toCopyPolicy(); JpaEntityManager elem = em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class); Employee empCopy = elem.copy(emp, policy);
Load using LoadGroup
Load the specified in LoadGroup relationships for either a single entity or a collection.
LoadGroup loadGroup = new LoadGroup(); loadGroup.addAttribute("address"); loadGroup.addAttribute("phoneNumbers"); loadGroup.addAttribute("manager.projects.projectLeader"); JpaEntityManager elem = em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class); elem.load(employeeObject, loadGroup); //or elem.load(employeeCollection, loadGroup);
FetchGroups and LoadGroups When a FetchGroup is applied to a query by default the FetchGroup also loads its relational attributes. The qauery for Employees executed with rhe following FetchGroup
FetchGroup fetchGroup = new FetchGroup(); fetchGroup.addAttribute("id"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("version"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("firstName"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("lastName"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("address"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("phoneNumbers.owner"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("phoneNumbers.type"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("phoneNumbers.areaCode"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("manager.id"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("manager.version"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("manager.firstName"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("manager.lastName"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("manager.projects.projectLeader.id"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("manager.projects.projectLeader.version"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("manager.projects.projectLeader.firstName"); fetchGroup.addAttribute("manager.projects.projectLeader.lastName");
not only limit the results to the specified attributes, but also ensures that all specified relations are loaded. Before returning query result Eclipselink creates a LoadGroup from the FetchGroup and uses it to load the objects.
Hovewer these two functions can be separated.
ensures that only eager relationships are loaded.
A LoadGroup could be created from a FetchGroup.
LoadGroup loadGroup = fetchGroup.toLoadGroup();
All non-relational attributes present in the LoadPlan will be ignored, it will be functionally equivalent to:
LoadGroup loadGroup = new LoadGroup(); loadGroup.addAttribute("address"); loadGroup.addAttribute("phoneNumbers"); loadGroup.addAttribute("manager.projects.projectLeader");
Copy using LoadGroup
ObjectCopyingPolicy policy = loadGroup.toCopyPolicy(); JpaEntityManager elem = em.unwrap(JpaEntityManager.class); Employee empCopy = elem.copy(emp, policy);
FetchGroup "Sparse" Merge
A partial entity with a FetchGroup attached will be merged based on that FetchGroup in combination with cascade merge setting on the entity's mapping.
The following sections describe the high level design of the changes that are proposed to address the requirements and usage examples above.
AttributeGroup Hierarchy
TODO: Explain proposed structure of a FetchGroup and its map of FetchAttributes
Query Execution
When a query is executed a FetchGroup is determined for the query based on the following rules
- If a FetchGroup is specified on the query through direct API or QueryHintHandler then that FetchGroup will be used
- If a FetchGroup name is specified on the query through direct API or QueryHintHandler then that name will be used to lookup a query in the reference descriptor's hierarchy using standard inheritance rules.
- If the query is not found for the name ... TODO
- If a default FetchGroup is specified on the descriptor or any of its parent descriptors that FetchGroup will be used
Note: the FetchGroup used in a query execution should not be cached in the query.
An EntityFetchGroup instance is set on each entity resulting from a FetchGroup query execution. The EntityFetchGroup initially only has the shared execution FetchGroup as its state. The EntityFetchGroup is used to represent the exact state of a partial entity and must be unique per entity since set operations as well as merged FetchGroup queries will result in entities having a unique set of attributes loaded.
A set performed on unfecthed attribute triggers reading of the entire object, setting the attribute and removal of object's EntityFetchGroup.
"Overlapping FetchGroup Queries" paragraph above explains on a simple example how the two merging fetch groups form a union. Note that executing a primary key query (find) with an empty fetch group (that will contain only the mandatory primary key and version attributes) will guarantee that the object (if cached) will be broughyt from the cache without hitting the db.
Detached Entities
When an entity is copied (JpaHelper.copy(FetchGroup fg, Object entity)) or serialized only the attributes specified in the attached or provided FetchGroup are included. All other attributes are left as the default value initialized by the constructor.
When a set is called on a partial entity (with a FetchGroup) the entity's state is enhanced to include the provided value and the EntityFetchGroup has this attribute added.
When a get method id called on a partial entity for an attribute that is not included in its FetchGroup an exception is thrown.
The get/set attribute checking in a detached entity is done using woven FetchGroupTracker code in the entity in combination with the specific FetchGroup type attached to the detached entity.
Open Issues
- Merging FetchGroup query results into the working copy of an entity
- Modification of a shared FetchGroup after it has been used in a query result
- Merging a cached object without a fetch group with a fetch group query (or another way around)
- Fetch group that contains a lazy relationship triggers that relationship, the object without fetch group does not;
- Does it mean it would make sense to have a fetch group that contains ALL the attributes?
- Fetch group that contains a lazy relationship triggers that relationship, the object without fetch group does not;

On March 21st, the Besongabang Football for Hope Centre in Cameroon opened its doors with a grand opening ceremony. The whole community of Besongabang was here and the site could hardly fit everybody. The event featured local singers, dancers, and dignitaries as well as representatives of regional and national government, FIFA, streetfootballworld and others.
Representing Architecture for Humanity, were Mark Warren, Regional Program Coordinator for Africa, and Rogerio Costa, Design Fellow for the FFH centre in Besongabang. A procession conducted the community from town to the center. Visitors arriving at the site Traditional dancing Traditional dancing At the heart of the event were collective memories of the late Nathan Jones, Design Fellow for the project until he passed away from complications due to Malaria in March 2013. There were several tributes to his life, both personal and professional, and this project and community is truly blessed by his dedication and commitment. His family was represented at the event by two of his sisters, Nikki and Natasha. The completed center United Action for Children will operate the center and has been working with orphans, street and other vulnerable children of the community for the last five years. They will use football's popularity to encourage young people off the streets and into classrooms and training centers. There are still a few finishing touches to be completed, but overall the project is a great success and will provide a needed space for vital community services. Congratulations to everybody involved in the project! The children gladly take possession of the pitch
Football for Hope
As a legacy of the 2010 Football World Cup, FIFA and streetfootballworld launched the Football for Hope program, with the aim of building 20 centers across Africa. The centers are managed by local NGOs, each having a specific program. All centers address health and education issues using soccer as a tool for development.

- Synopsis
- Under the direction of famed explorer Porter Stone, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. Stone believes he has found the burial chamber of King Narmer, the near mythical god- king who united upper and lower Egypt in 3200 B.C., and the archaeologist has reason to believe that the greatest prize of all—Narmer's crown—might be buried with him. No crown of an Egyptian king has ever been discovered, and Narmer's is the elusive "double" crown of the two Egypts, supposedly possessed of awesome powers. The dig itself is located in one of the most forbidding places on earth—the Sudd, a nearly impassable swamp in northern Sudan. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, a series of harrowing and inexplicable occurrences are causing people on the expedition to fear a centuries- old curse. With a monumental discovery in reach, Professor Jeremy Logan is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds will raise new questions . . . and alarm. In the hands of master storyteller Lincoln Child, The Third Gate breaks new ground and introduces a fascinating new protagonist to the thriller world.

Coinstar is kicking Netflix's buttJune 15, 2012: 12:18 PM ET
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) got off to a smoking start this year after a nightmarish 2011. But like the rest of the market (and especially momentum stocks), Netflix has come crashing back to Earth. The stock is now actually down almost 10% in 2012. Do investors think that the video market is dead?
Not necessarily.
Take a look at Coinstar (CSTR). The owner of the bargain DVD rental kiosk service Redbox is having a banner year. Shares are up nearly 40%. What gives? Well, I think one reason is that Coinstar, which also operates its namesake coin counting machines in mass market retailers, may be benefiting from the weakness in the economy.
A monthly subscription for Netflix could be the type of thing you cut if you're worried about job stability, Europe's financial woes and stock market volatility. But the occasional "splurge" on a movie for $1.20? That's still doable.
"Redbox is more competitive if you only watch a DVD a week. The vast majority of people watch fewer than 3 movies a month," said Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. "There is a reason Wal-Mart exists. People like the value proposition. And that's the same reason why Redbox exists."
There's also the fact that Coinstar is a more diverse company than Netflix. The company is even branching out into the coffee business. Earlier this month, Coinstar announced a deal with caffeine king Starbucks (SBUX) to offer Starbucks' Seattle Best Coffee in new Rubi kiosks in supermarkets and grocery stores. Coinstar's shares are up about 6% since the Starbucks news.
Coinstar and Redbox often get mocked for being so old-school, but not everybody wants to watch movies streaming on their smartphomes or iPad. Plus: Sometimes consumers actually have to leave their homes to shop for things. (Three cheers for analog retail! You go, Luddites!)
Still, it's not as if Coinstar risks being lost in the online video revolution. Redbox inked a streaming/DVD joint venture with telecom giant Verizon (VZ) in February. The service is set to launch in the second half of the year.
Netflix, on the other hand, continues to befuddle investors. While the worst appears to be over in terms of subscriber defections following last year's decision to charge people separately for DVDs and streaming and the ill-fated and short-lived decision to rebrand the DVD business Qwikster, Netflix is still a company faced with many challenges.

The company is spending a lot to license content from the major movie studios. It's now a content producer as well, with new shows like Kevin Spacey's "House of Cards" and the eagerly awaited revival of "Arrested Development." Netflix is also expanding aggressively overseas. These may all be smart long-term moves, but they are hurting earnings now.
"Netflix has a lack of visibility regarding international expansion. When will the losses narrow and margins improve?" said Steve Frankel, analyst with Dougherty & Company in Boston. "Netflix may also double down on more new markets."
Analysts now expect Netflix to eke out a tiny profit this year, after earlier projections of a full-year loss. But profit forecasts for 2013 have steadily come down over the past few months. That's not good. What's more, Netflix's revenues are no longer growing in the manner befitting a true go-go momentum stock. Analysts are predicting rather pedestrian sales growth of 13% this year and 15% in 2013.
Related: Netflix plunges on sales outlook
Compare that with Coinstar. Its sales growth is expected to top 23% this year and earnings are expected to surge 35%. Revenues are only expected to increase 12% next year, while profits are forecast to rise only 10%. Wall Street analysts have been ratcheting up their Coinstar earnings projections -- a sharp contrast with how they're viewing Netflix.
And then there's valuation, which ultimately is what really matters. Netflix, despite its recent stumbles, still trades at 30 times 2013 earnings estimates. Coinstar, even after its big spike this year, is valued at just 12 times next year's profit targets.
Pachter, who has a "buy" rating on Coinstar and a "sell" on Netflix, maintains that Netflix is still overpriced, given that it faces so much competition in streaming video. In addition to the looming Verizon/Coinstar joint venture, companies like Amazon (AMZN) and Hulu, the online video firm co-owned by media giants News Corp. (NWSA), Walt Disney (DIS) and Comcast (CMCSA), are gunning for Netflix's streaming subscribers.
Finally, Pachter thinks that the DVD -- like the old man in Monty Python's Holy Grail -- is not dead yet. That's good news for Coinstar and not so much for Netflix.
"The movie studios are greedy pigs who want to sell their content to everybody. They would rather have more competition," Pachter said."Netflix is under a long-term assault, and DVDs are not going to go away for many years."

There's never a lack of stories to tell after a New York State fishing trip.
Like that time you spotted sea gulls circling off the coast of Long Island signaling that sharks were there for the catching. Or the day you noticed herons plucking up bait fish along the shore of Lake Erie and correctly deduced that small mouth bass were feeding in the area. And then there was that hold-your-breath moment when the muskie leapt out of Chautauqua Lake to catch your flying lure. Perhaps that's why more than 1 million people fish the freshwater lakes and streams, great lakes and ocean waters of New York State every year.
Home to 165 different species of fish, New York draws anglers from around the world with its pristine settings and diverse experiences. Whether braced to haul in a 300-pound mako shark on a surf-buffeted fishing boat or stealthily trolling for trout with a carefully selected lure on a quiet lake, there's nothing more thrilling than outsmarting a cunning fish. It's the kind of sport that draws families and friends together, creating appreciation and understanding for nature and wildlife. And best of all, while experience builds skill, the excitement and satisfaction of outwitting and out-maneuvering a fish can be enjoyed from the very first outing. Across the state, tournaments cater to novices as well as world-class fishing pros. Fishing outfitters, fishing guides, equipment, and boat charters are readily available.
Here are ten great ways to go angling for fun in N.Y. State:
1. Tussle with a living fossil. The bowfin, a living survivor of a type of fish that lived in the age of dinosaurs, has evolved little from its fossil ancestors of 65 million years ago. A voracious predator, the bowfin has a swim bladder that allows it to gulp air and a distinctive torpedo-shaped body and a bullet-shaped head with rows of short, sharp upper and lower teeth. These living fossils are a fighting fish when caught and can weigh in at over 20 pounds. Lake Champlain in the Adirondacks region, best known for its bass, trout and salmon, is a great place to tussle with bowfin. Bass enthusiasts will find plenty of challenge as well. The Plattsburgh area is hosting six bass tournaments this summer on Lake Champlain, which was named the 5th best bass lake in the U.S. by Bassmaster magazine in 2012.
While you're in the Adirondacks region... Choose from 3,000-plus lakes and ponds and thousands of miles of mountain biking, hiking and canoe trails, splash into Great Escape and Splashwater Kingdom, take a steamboat cruise at Lake George, explore Fort Ticonderoga.
2. Learn to Tie a Fly. The art of fly-fishing is fooling the fish into thinking the lure is an actual fly, so catching a trout means not only having a realistic lure, but learning to maneuver it to mimic fly behavior. The birthplace of American fly fishing, the Catskills region offers some of the best fly fishing in the world. Newbies as well as enthusiasts can learn about stream ecology and hone their fly-tying and fly casting skills at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum before heading out on world renowned trout fishing streams such as the Beaverkill, Esopus, Rondout and Willowemoc streams and the Delaware and Neversink Rivers.
While you're in the Catskills area... Ride the thrilling Black Vortex at the Zoom Flume Water Park in East Durham, go tubing down Esopus Creek, thrill to the longest zipline in America at Hunter Mountain or take a scenic ride on the Catskill Mountain Railroad in Mt. Tremper.
3. Play a shark. One of the most thrilling fishing experiences is "playing" a mako shark. The idea is to exhaust the fish before reeling it in and that can take 30 minutes or more. Often, when hooked, they leap high out of the water, twist and sometimes somersault to free themselves of the hook and it takes skill to give the shark just enough line. Long Island charter boats offer deep-sea fishing for sharks, bluefin tuna, sea bass and more. For those who prefer to stay on land, Montauk Point State Park offers some of the world's best surf fishing. And whether you land a big one or not, at the end of the day you can enjoy a fine catch at one of the many great seafood restaurants.
While you're on Long Island... Relive rural 18th century life at Old Bethpage Village Restoration, catch the waves-and a concert--at Jones Beach, and at the Atlantis Long Island Aquarium in Riverhead, train seals and sea lions and view predator sharks from the safety of a shark cage.
4. Go for the gold. Pet goldfish rarely grow bigger than six inches, but in the wild their size can more than double. Native to China, they have found their way into waters across the state, but they prefer warm, weed-rich shallows and slow moving rivers such as the lower Hudson. The lower Hudson River in the Hudson Valley region is also home to another Asian immigrant species, carp. While the record catch of these reddish-tinged fish weighed in at over 50 pounds, they are more frequently reeled in between 10 to 30 pounds. The most exciting time to spot carp is in late spring and early summer, when the females thrash around in the shallows as they lay up to 10 million eggs.
While you're in the Hudson Valley region... Indulge your passion for gourmet dining at The Culinary Institute of America, tour the Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site in Hyde Park and try blacksmithing, weaving and other 18th century activities at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-On-Hudson.
5. Fish the Great Sacandaga. One of the largest of the Capital-Saratoga region's many lakes, Great Sacandaga Lake is 29 miles long at some points and six miles wide, and it beckons with some of the largest Northern Pike ever caught. Pike are predators, hiding in shallow vegetation and springing out to ambush fish, frogs, ducks and muskrats. Anglers often troll or jerk the line, imitating the pike's prey. Once the pike snatches the hook, anglers need to be alert and ready to for a hard fight as the pike, which can grow to over 40 pounds, fights, twists and often jumps out of the water.
While you're in the Capital-Saratoga region... Canoe and swim at one of the area's lovely lake beaches, sample fresh-pressed cider at Eagle Mills, bask in the fresh Saratoga Mineral Spas, cruise the canal or a free tour of the Empire State Plaza, Observation Deck and State Museum.
6. Discover two-story fishing. Many of the 11 glacier carved lakes of the Finger Lakes region are so deep that in many areas they function as what the fishing world calls call "two-story fisheries." What that means is that anglers can fish on the same lakes for both cold water fish such as trout and Atlantic salmon, and warm water fish such as the region's renowned trophy bass, which often weigh in at 5 to10 pounds (state record for smallmouth bass was eight pounds with the largemouth coming in at 11 pounds). And whether on a fishing charter or casting a line from the shore, visitors to this region will find the diversity of the sport fishing as exciting as the scenery.
While you're in the Finger Lakes region... Watch glass blowing demonstrations at the Corning Museum of Glass, enjoy the interactive exhibits and witness NASCAR's biggest names compete at Watkins Glen International Raceway. Try your skill out at a golf course and visit the local wineries to learn which wine to pair with your fish dinner.
7. Drop a line for salmon. Salmon are among New York State's largest, most popular and hard-fighting sport fish, and in summer, one of the best places to find them is Lake Ontario in the Greater Niagara region. Here the waters are stocked with both native Atlantic salmon as well as several types of Pacific salmon. Along with Lake Erie, Lake Ontario is one of the two New York lakes stocked with chinook salmon, and only Lake Ontario and its tributaries are stocked with coho salmon. During the summer months, both Atlantic and Pacific salmon head for the deeper parts of the lake, so fishing charters are the best way to reach these rod-bending grand fish.
While you're in the Greater Niagara region... Admire Niagara Falls from the deck of the Maid of the Mist and on the Cave of the Winds walk, ride the thrilling Whirlpool Jet Boat, and splash into the water park and wild rides at Darien Lake Theme Park.
8. Troll-and cast--for trophies. The lakes, streams and rivers of the Thousand Islands-Seaway region draw anglers from around the world to cast their lines for trophy-size fish. In Oswego County, you'll find great fishing on Lake Ontario, the 14th largest freshwater lake in the world, spanning about 200 miles along New York State's northern border from the Niagara to St. Lawrence Rivers. Here you'll find trout and salmon, Atlantic salmon, brown trout, Chinook and coho salmon, lake trout, rainbow trout/steelhead, smallmouth bass, walleye, carp and catfish. You will also find fantastic angling opportunities on the Oswego River, Salmon River, Oneida Lake and Oneida River.
Standing state records for Chinook, Coho, and hybrid Chinook/Coho, which also hold world records as well as Atlantic salmon all have been set in Lake Erie, while the St. Lawrence River and Alexandria Bay are acclaimed for their pike, walleye and muskellunge or muskie. A record-breaking muskie, weighing in at over 69 pounds was caught near Clayton, where the Thousand Islands Museum features a Muskie Hall of Fame and historic exhibits. Not to be outshined, St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tournament competitors have brought in prize-winning carp weighing more than 40 pounds, with the state record standing at 50 pounds, 6 ounces since 1995.
While you're in the Thousand Islands-Seaway region... Visit historic 1812 military sites in Ogdensburg, Sackets Harbor and Oswego, see a true American "hunting lodge" castle on an island, stay in a historic lighthouse, drive the Seaway Trail or cruise along the 500-mile coast while counting the nearly 2000 islands, large and small.
9. Beware the mighty muskellunge. Nicknamed "waterwolves," muskellunge, like all pike, lurk in the shallows to ambush their prey. But they can grow to well over 40 pounds, have reportedly eaten small pets and even sunk their sharp teeth into a passing swimmer. Their solitary nature, size and strength make them a tough fish to find and a prized species to land. Those up to the challenge can head to Lake Chautauqua in the Chautauqua-Allegheny region. Many fish in the 40-50 inch class are caught each year on Lake Chautauqua.

They are drawn to cold water regions of lakes and rocky stream beds. Spring-fed Otsego Lake and the Susquehanna River in the Central New York region offer excellent opportunities to fish for smallmouth bass, and several boat charter operators and parks in the Coopertown area offer fishing. Central New York is also home to Oneida Lake, (also shared by Madison, Oswego and Onodaga) whose largemouth bass earn it a spot among the top 15 bass fishing spots in the country by Bassmaster magazine. The Lake is also a popular tournament stop for professional anglers.

400 jobs not coming to Orono call center
FEMA puts hold on NexxLinx contract
The Maine Department of Labor said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has put a hold on the NexxLinx contract it issued earlier in the week.
The Labor Department said the hold is due to a lower than anticipated need for disaster assistance.
This hold has stopped the effort to hire 400 workers for call center jobs at NexxLinx's facility in Orono, according to the Labor Department.
The Labor Department, which was helping the company take in initial applications at the Bangor CareerCenter, said it will keep that CareerCenter open on Monday.
Officials said staff members will provide alternative career assistance to people who were interested in the NexxLinx opportunity.
Since Monday is the observance of Veterans Day, the Department of Labor's offices and other CareerCenters will remain closed.
Officials said people who have already filed applications with NexxLinx should follow up with the company after the holiday weekend.
"Although we are disappointed that we may not be able to provide Mainers with these temporary jobs, what this does mean is that fewer people affected by Hurricane Sandy need FEMA assistance-that's good news," said Jeanne Paquette, commissioner of the Department of Labor. "This week showed Maine's ability to respond both to help people in need and to aid businesses. This experience will be valuable for future efforts. Our staff were up to the task of assisting NexxLinx and did a fantastic job."

Job definitions
To run a certain workflow in SMILA, you will have to create a job definition first that references a workflow and sets the desired parameters. With a job definition alone, the system is not yet doing anything. First, the job must be started to get a so called job run. For job runs in "standard" mode, the actual job processing is triggered with every new object that is dropped into the bucket connected to the start action of the respective workflow. The triggering continues with new objects until the job run is finished manually. Job runs in "runOnce" mode, by contrast, do not react on new objects but process all objects currently contained in the respective input bucket and then finish automatically. Jobs can also be predefined in the system, in which case they are located at Template:Configuration/org.eclipse.smila.jobmanager/jobs.json and are marked with Template:"readOnly": true. Predefined jobs cannot be modified and in contrast to user-defined jobs do not contain a Template:Timestamp element.
Job properties in detail
- name: Required. Defines the name of the job.
- parameters: Optional. Defines the job parameters that will be resolved in the workflow to configure the participating workers and to instantiate the buckets. All parameter (variables) that are declared in the used data object types and workers and that have not yet been set in the workflow or bucket definitions must be set here at the latest. Otherwise an error will occur when trying to create the job.
- workflow: Required. Gives the name of the desired workflow.
Job definitions can include additional information (e.g. comments or additional for external tools, etc.), but a GET request will return only relevant information (i.e. the above attributes). If you want to retrieve the additional info that is present in the json file or has been posted with the definition, add returnDetails=true as request parameter.
An exemplary job definition:
{ "name":"myJob", "parameters":{ "index": "wikipedia", "store": "wikidocs" }, "workflow":"myWorkflow" }
List, create, modify jobs
All jobs
Use a GET request to retrieve a list of all job definitions. Use POST for adding or updating a job definition.
Supported operations:
- GET: Get a list of all job definitions and details about latest job run. Switch off details with returnDetails=false as a URL parameter. If there are no jobs defined, you will get an empty list.
- POST: Create a new job definition or update an existing one. If the job already exists, it will be updated after successful validation. However, the changes will not apply until the next job run, i.e. the current job run is not influenced by the changes.
- URL: http://<hostname>:8080/smila/jobmanager/jobs/
- Allowed methods:
- Response status codes:
- 200 OK: Upon successful execution (GET).
- 201 CREATED: Upon successful execution (POST).
- 400 Bad Request: If you reference undefined workflows, if not all parameters were resolved, if mandatory fields are missing or if validation finds errors (POST).
To get all job definitions:
GET /smila/jobmanager/jobs/
The result would be:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK { "jobs" : [ { "name" : "myJob", "url" : "http://localhost:8080/smila/jobmanager/jobs/myJob/" } ] }
To create a job:
POST /smila/jobmanager/jobs/ { "name":"myJob", "parameters":{ "index": "wikipedia", "store": "wikidocs" }, "workflow":"myWorkflow" }
The result would be:
HTTP/1.x 201 CREATED { "name" : "myJob", "timestamp": "2011-08-12T14:49:48.862+0200", "url" : "http://localhost:8080/smila/jobmanager/jobs/myJob/" }
Specific job
Use a GET request to retrieve the definition of a specific job and an overview of job runs (current job run, if running, and a history of any previous job runs). Use DELETE to delete a job.
Supported operations:
- GET: get the definition of the given job.
- You can set the URL parameter returnDetails to true to return additional information that might have been provided when creating the job. If the parameter is ommitted or set to false only the relevant information (see above) is gathered.
- You can set the URL parameter returnRuns to false to hide the job run lists. This should make the request faster, if you don't need this information. If the parameter is ommitted or set to true, the job run list is included.
- DELETE: delete the given job definition.
- POST: start a job run, see SMILA/Documentation/JobRuns#Start_job_run
- URL: http://<hostname>:8080/smila/jobmanager/jobs/<job-name>/
- Allowed methods:
- POST: see SMILA/Documentation/JobRuns#Start_job_run
- Response status codes:
- 200 OK: Upon successful execution (GET, DELETE). If the job definition to be deleted does not exist you will get a 200 anyway.
- 404 Server Error: If an undefined name is used, an HTTP 404 Server Error including an error message in the response body will be returned.
To get a specific job definition:
GET /smila/jobmanager/jobs/myJob/
The result would be:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK { "definition": { "name":"myJob", "timestamp": "2011-08-12T14:49:48.862+0200", "parameters":{ "index": "wikipedia", "store": "wikidocs" }, "workflow":"myWorkflow" }, "runs": { "current" : { "jobId" : "20110930-121108155498", "state" : "RUNNING", "url" : "http://localhost:8080/smila/jobmanager/jobs/myJob/20110930-121108155498/" }, "history" : [ { "jobId" : "20110930-121054946584", "url" : "http://localhost:8080/smila/jobmanager/jobs/myJob/20110930-121054946584/" }, { "jobId" : "20110930-121042898813", "url" : "http://localhost:8080/smila/jobmanager/jobs/myJob/20110930-121042898813/" } ] } }
If the job is currently not running, the "current" map will be empty, if there are no finished job runs, the "history" sequence will be empty. If "returnRuns=false" has been set in the URL, the complete "runs" part will be missing:
GET /smila/jobmanager/jobs/myJob/?returnRuns=false --> HTTP/1.x 200 OK { "definition": { "name":"myJob", "timestamp": "2011-08-12T14:49:48.862+0200", "parameters":{ "index": "wikipedia", "store": "wikidocs" }, "workflow":"myWorkflow" } }

Hi Deva,
Thank you for being so clear and thorough and for reviewing the archetypes.
I am trying to reconcile these pieces:
Quote from: Deva on Apr 17, 2014, 10:39 AM
Pluto transiting the 1st house and/or Mars:
Fear can have many different sources and applications.
...It should be clear that anger can also have many different causes and is reflected in this archetype.
... (The natal house/sign position of Mars indicates the specific nature of fear).
I had assumed that each planet's position had it's own expression of fears, which now seems incorrect.
So, anger as an emotional reaction to the limitation of personal freedom has a core
and that is based on the individuals conscious desires? When those desires are not met is it the survival instinct that drives the fear?
As far as correlations from people we know...I know a good friend with Pluto in the first house, on the ascendent. So, she was somewhat 'covered', for the injuries and violence she experienced as a child / and through the transit of the remaining part of the first house. Similar to Skywalker's testimony about pushing limits with "no true notion of danger" e.g. climbing an industrial extension ladder several stories high. Other instances, in spite of a kind of invincibility, resulted in accidents. More than the usual bruises and scuffed knees, she experienced many falls- one of them over a story high (she was accidentally knocked off by her dog, apparently), multiple collisions with blunt force facial trauma, fractured bone requiring surgery, hardware, and a cast, surgery from a renal issue, 2nd and 3rd degree burns, etc. as well as being around (and hyper-aware of) volatile and/ or violent people.
There is much in her chart that gives context to these events and what the lessons were for her Soul but, in keeping with this transit specifically.. she came away with several lessons: the ability to fall and how to get up and heal instantaneously, not get distracted by the sight of blood, have the instinct to quickly help others during accidents, get loud, distracting and, if necessary, physical with those who are terrorizing/ abusing others, a kind of morphogenesis where she can be really strong when she needs to be, etc.
Thanks Deva
God bless,

Hi Deva,
The thought of Pluto transiting the 2nd raised a question in my mind. No need to wait however, as it applies to any house.
I am assuming that we notice the effects of Pluto or Mars transits through a house when the planet is near the cusps. Not to say that that the transit has no effect further in the house, but that we are most aware of the issues they stir up when they are within orb of either cups.
If that is correct, what would the major differences be between a conjunction at the cusp at the beginning of the house and that at the end? Does the archetype of the preceding house contribute much to the difference? I assume the conjunction at the beginning of the house results in issues manifesting for the very first time, while those at the end may be more or less about resolving issues that came up but have not yet been addressed. Is this correct?
Anything else we should consider?

Hi Deva,
I also have a question about orbs that I have been meaning to ask i.e. generally speaking, with Pluto transiting a planet when is there an effect on the sub-conscious, the conscious awareness, and when does it then manifest in external reality as the events that seem to 'happen to' people? (Understanding that some are much more, or less, sensitive to these energies.) Is this consistant with all planets receiving the transit from Pluto? Is it consistant with other planets transiting? Do transiting orbs have any diversity (e.g. the lights, transpersonal planets) or are they all fixed?
I remember Steve (Wolfson) having a beautiful analogy of a wave breaking. The way I understand it is, the swell (transiting planet) impacts (karma, intentions of the Soul for healing and growth) an island (natal planet) creating the wave (experiences, lessons).
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
I hope I am making sense.
Thanks and,
God bless,

Hi Cat and Katherine- thanks for posting your questions about transits! Cat- the way I would answer your question is the analogy of a new pair of pants. In a general sense, when a Pluto transit first approaches a house cusp/planet it is like wearing a brand new pair of pants that are not comfortable.Over time the pants are broken in and more comfortable to wear.
In the Pluto material it uses a 5 degree orb prior to the exact of the transit to symbolize the time frame in which the Soul can start to feel a sense of forewarning or an increasing sense of what is about to come during the approaching transit (the pants are brand new). As the transit approaches the exact aspect the most intense inner and outer changes tend to manifest. 5 degrees after the exact aspect it a time frame in which the Soul can "regroup" so to speak in regards to the evolutionary changes that have occurred (reflection/integration upon what has happened during the exact transit).
In terms of determining how old or new the evolutionary intention symbolized by the transit we must look at the "overall picture" of the natal chart. For example, The phasal relationship between Mars and Pluto will indicate how many life times the Soul has been working on the current evolutionary intentions within the birth chart (as stated in the Pluto vol 2. book- it typically takes a Soul 8 life times to accomplish specific evolutionary intentions). In addition, in the natal chart if the aspect is 5 degrees prior to the exact aspect then it symbolizes that the evolutionary intention is brand new/just beginning. If it is 5 degrees after the exact aspect it symbolizes that the evolutionary intentions are old and have been worked on prior to the current life. We must include this understanding in our interpretations of transits. For example, in the Pluto material a case illustration is given in which an individual has Pluto in aspect to the Moon. The individual experienced very intense emotional shocks at an early age via the parents such as being put in an orphanage and also overhearing in a conversation that his parents did not love or want him. However, because the Pluto/Moon aspect was almost 5 degrees after the exact aspect the individual used these experiences to further grow and evolve in terms of developing a positive and healthy self-image, and to minimize emotional expectations at a very early age (Pluto/Moon aspect). In other words, because the individual was more or less "used to" these types of experiences they were used in constructive ways to facilitate ongoing personal growth. Again, this is symbolized by the Pluto/Moon aspect in a late degree (5 degrees after the exact aspect).
In a broad sense I can answer your questions of cusp degrees based on what I have learned so far in the Pluto material about phases and aspects. I have learned that any planet/cusp that is at 0 degrees symbolizes a brand new evolutionary cycle of becoming/development (the evolutionary intention is just beginning and is new). I have also learned that a planet/cusp at 29 degrees is in an evolutionary process of culmination/completion. In this sense it can create a transmutation of the sign in the culminating phase (29 degrees) with the following sign in order to begin a new phase of development (symbolized by 0 degrees). For example, if Pluto is at 29 degrees of Libra in a birth chart it can be determined that the Soul is intended to bring to completion the generalized evolutionary intentions associated with Pluto in Libra. If Pluto is at 0 degrees of Libra it tends to indicate that the generalized evolutionary intentions are in a brand new cycle of becoming.
Katherine- I love the analogy of a wave breaking! In my experience, the closer a Pluto transit approaches the exact aspect the more intense the desire for unconscious content/patterns to come into conscious which are creating blocks and point of stagnation becomes. In my experience, it is the progressive feeling of the need to change/unlock from these dynamics that then creates a build up emotional energy that is linked with the evolutionary need to grow/evolve beyond current limitations. Transits can induce the "bubbling up" or surfacing of unconscious material because of the need to bring into conscious awareness the dynamics that need to be changed during these time frames.
Thanks again for posting these great questions and please let me know if anything I have written is unclear.

Hi Deva,
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer that so thoroughly. I just took a quick look at my chart and realize that transiting Pluto is within orb of my third house - new pants! I haven't thought too much about it, but yes, things have been happening that correlate with this. It won't be long before we get to the third house, so I may be able to contribute to that discussion :-)
I'm also glad you brought up the 0 and 29 degrees bit. I have alot of that going on in my natal chart, including Pluto at 0 degrees, so new things to contemplate as I begin to think about this Pluto transit :-)
Thanks again,

Pluto transiting the second house/Venus-
In order to discuss Pluto transits through the 2nd house or to Venus we must first review the archetype of Taurus/2nd house/Venus. One of the core correlations of this archetype is to the survival instinct. (The survival instinct is one of the strongest instincts within us so do not underestimate its influence/impact within consciousness). What we identify for survival purposes will be given a significant degree of meaning/value which are also reflected in this archetype. Our inner relationship and magnetism/vibration is a core correlation of Taurus. This archetype also indicates a "frog in the well" type of orientation in general. In other words, the frog has identified only a small piece of the sky from the bottom of the well and this small piece as become the total sky/universe.
Taurus is co-ruled by Venus with the archetype of Libra. The Libra side of Venus reflects the projected, or external, nature of Venus in that it correlates with the relationships we have with other people. The inner side of Venus is reflected by Taurus which symbolizes our inner relationship with self and our resulting inner vibration. It is our inner relationship with self that is then causative factor of the external relationships that we form with others both on a casual and intimate level. The critical, or core point, within this is that we must learn to see our relationships as a reflection point of our inner relationship. In other words, we all attract what we need without knowing that we need it! (When we learn to see our relationships in this way we can learn how to truly listen and also how to truly given in regards to that we can establish a necessary balance and equality within relationships. This dynamic is symbolized by the 7th house/Libra side of Venus).
It is important to state that a core correlation of the Taurus archetype is to self-reliance and self-sufficiency. In other words, it is through this archetype that we become aware of inner resources and capacities that will allow us to establish self-reliance on both a physical and emotional level. In order to learn these lessons we must often experience being "thrown back" upon ourselves in various ways. It is when we become to dependant on others or others become to dependant on us that this dynamic is put into play. In addition, when mutually projected needs are not met within relationships the Taurus archetype reflects were we can become self-reliant by learning to first meet these needs from within ourselves. Astrologically speaking, this type of crisis is reflected in the inconjunction between the Taurus and Libra archetypes.
When Pluto transits Venus or the 2nd house cusp an essential reevaluation and reformulation of our inner relationship with self, and of our values/meaning is underway. It correlates to a timeframe in which core lessons of self-reliance are typically enforced in various ways. Positively, these experiences can promote an awareness of new meaning and values, and a deepening of the inner relationship with self. For example an individual who had Pluto transiting the 2nd house was suddenly divorced and left on her own by her partner of many years because she would no longer relate to him from the limits of the "frog in the well" orientation. She stated that she advocated change because only the most very basic needs within the relationship were meet by the each person. (This is rooted in a mutually co-dependent orientation within relationships which her Soul now desires to purge and transmute during this transit). She voiced that her essential needs were not being meet and asked for change yet the partner felt threatened by these new needs and she was thrown back on herself in order to enforce the necessary evolutionary changes that needed to occur. Another way these transits can manifest is the awareness of an inner resource/ capacity that we can now utilize in order to affect the necessary transmutation of our inner relationship/values via our own self-effort. For example, during a Pluto transit to Venus an individual become aware of an intrinsic capacity to write and also counsel (in her natal chart Venus is conjunct Mercury and Neptune, and Moon in the 3rd house). It required that she make essential and necessary inner adjusts in regards to her inner relationship because of the underlying values and meaning that this new orientation represented as well as actualize this capacity via her won self-effort.
Please reflect on the nature of these archetypes and transits and post questions and illustrations as time allows.

I had Pluto enter into my 2nd House circa 2000. It is now within orb of leaving and about 2.5 degrees away from the 3rd house cusp. I haven't really had time to dwell on this, but off the top of my head, this coincides with a period of my life in which I finally settled down into a career working for a corporation and became involved in a committed living together relationship with another person. When Pluto came within orb of the 3rd house cusp, the relationship came to an end first, and then, more recently, I quit my job and have been working independently so to speak. It seems that an entire era of my life was defined by this transit. It was brought into being, experienced, and is now being brought to a close.

Hi, Cat. Thanks for posting your example! Pluto transiting in the 2nd house house can indicate experiences that you have described in terms of acquiring a steady job and relationship that can be maintained/sustained for a long period of time and which are highly meaningful. In my view, these experiences are necessary in terms of "grounding" or "rooting" into oneself via self-consolidation and self-reliance reflected in the long term job and relationship. In terms of the transit shifting into the 3rd house it can signify the need to embrace more of a diversity within life in a general sense (i.e, Gemini's expansion out of the "frog in the well"/limited orientation that creates stagnation/non-growth during the 2nd house transit). In other words, in a broad sense, the shift of Pluto from the 2nd house into the 3rd house indicates the Soul's progressive need generate a diversity of experiences to expand/grow beyond the self-consolidation/ isolation that can occur during the 2nd house transit. Again, a necessary self-reliance and reformulation of values and meaning in life occurs when Pluto transits the 2nd house/Venus. Please let me know if you have any questions or need clarification about what I have written.

Hi Deva,
Everything you say makes perfect sense. I needed some "grounding," but as time rolled on, things did get stagnant and I was certainly living in a well :-) I'm glad you mention a need for diversity as my mind was thinking of many of the other third house archetypes and missing the obvious - diversity! My life was pretty diverse prior to this transit, and it seems that diversity is coming back into play, but in a more grounded way.
Thanks for your insight!

Hi Deva, thank you for this thread. I'd like to share pluto/venus transit experience.
Pluto is squaring my natal venus libra (rules NN taurus), 2 degrees from exact square. I have been simplifying my relationship, give myself the right to be myself, only spend time/energy with people who makes me comfortable, learn to say no to those who project negative judgement towards me, also try to recognize my projection towards others when it creates so much anger/fear. I am learning to balance taurus/libra side, stop repeating the cycle of going extreme (over pleaseing others/shut down, cut off relationship). This process helps me to relate myself in a new way, clean out much guilty feeling and self-blame. As i can give recognization to my inner resource, others get the positive energy, either i attract poeple who support me or they are less judgemental. Also they give me the private time/space i need without misinterpreting my intent.
I resonate with the example in your post as well, i am trying (push myself to be ready) to write down (NN 3rd house) what i know/learnt (venus/SN 9th house), record my dreams (transit pluto in 12th house), and share with others, that's the meaningful relationship i always wanted. When i try to provide what i know for others in a way they resonate/understand, i feel i am attracting like-minded people, which give me more courage to embrace change further. After all, pluto is intense, at some point i'll suddenly freak out, feel i can't do it, i am not ready, just want to hide or go back to comfortable zone, stay there for good!
I just checked the day of my first EA reading with you, pluto began to square my venus 5 degree! After that, i feel the process of studying EA was accelerated, also i dig into deeper layer to understand myself, the intersting thing is, it's easier for me to read complicated thread/book in english, like the practice i have done before was finally ready to go to a deeper level.

Hi, Wei. Thanks for posting your example! Yes, isolating and/or withdrawing from the environment in the ways you have described can occur during this transits. As you said, withdrawing /rooting into oneself allows a new inner strength to emerge in which you do not loose touch with your own essence despite negative judgments from others and can hold onto, or preserve, what is meaningful and valuable for you at this time. When Pluto transits the third house a deeper level of communication/expression can manifest as a reflection of maintaining/preserving your inner values/meaning within relationships in the context of Pluto's square to natal Venus in Libra and North Node in Taurus.
I will post Pluto transiting Mercury/3rd house by Wednesday next week at the latest.

Hi Deva and Group,
I´d just like to share that recently I saw the chart of someone that had experienced transiting Pluto trine her natal Venus in Taurus. This transit for her, marked an important time of self discovery, of independence, of personal growth and financial independence. She began relating to herself in new ways which had the effect of deepening her knowledge of herself and her own identity, knowledge about her personal needs and basically grew a lot as an individual as she moved out of her parents house to live alone, as she fought for her independent survival thru her work.
I am sharing this example as it´s a great example of how the inner side of Venus is expressed and experienced. We must first relate to ourselves in order to be able to give and receive love, to and from another, via the Libra archetype.
All the best

Hi Skywalker. Thanks for posting your illustration- it is a good example of how a harmonious aspect to Venus (trine) can promote the inner growth/evolution you have described!
Pluto transiting Mercury/3rd house
Gemini/3rd house/Mercury
In order to discuss Pluto transits to Mercury/3rd house we must first review the core
archetype of Gemini/3rd house/Mercury. The Gemini archetype reflects the need to
re- expand out of the "frog in the well" orientation of the previous archetype of Taurus. This
archetype symbolizes the need to organize our world in a logical, empirical, and rational
manner. In other words, Gemini reflects the need to give names, labels, and classifications to the physical/external environment.
As a result, a core correlation of Gemini is to communication , and the need to collect a diversity of facts/information/data from the external environment. It is important to note that, in and of itself, the need to know as much as possible is symbolized by this archetype. Gemini/Mercury/3rd
house in the birth chart symbolizes the nature of the information we desire to collect and also the nature of our own communication with others. For example, if Mercury is in the 8th house or Scorpio we can determine that the individual will communicate in a way that is succinct, bottom line,and psychologically
based/oriented. In addition, most commonly Mercury in the 8th symbolizes that the individual does not desire excessive communication (only as it is necessary). If an individual has Mercury in the 7th house/Libra it can be determined that the individual desires to share information and to learn through comparison/contrast with others. There is also an extremity in regards to the mental framework which must be brought into balance symbolized by the 7th house/Libra archetype.
In addition, the individual will naturally desire to communicate with others/take in the view
points of others as a way to expand upon the existing mental framework.
As previously mentioned, Gemini correlates to the rational, empirical, logical, and left
brain function within consciousness in regards to mental organization. It is this archetype/function within consciousness that desires to explain the connection to the universe from a logical and rational perspective/standpoint.
This archetype reflects that deductive logic (i.e, A+B+C=D) is used in an attempt to build/understand the whole. Mercury co-rules both Gemini and Virgo. This co-rulership reflects the inner and outer nature of Mercury. The external nature of Mercury is reflected in Gemini and the need to collect a diversity of facts and information from the external world. The inner nature/side of Mercury is reflected by the Virgo archetype and the need to inwardly process/analyze/organize the information that is collected from the external environment. In other words, it is the Virgo archetype within consciousness that analyzes and organizes the information all the information/data/facts that are collected via the Gemini archetype. As such, Virgo reflects the inner side of Mercury and Gemini reflects the external or outer side of Mercury.
Pluto Transiting Mercury/3rd house
When Pluto transits Mercury/3rd house it reflects that a fundamental reformulation of the mental/intellectual structure is at hand. This is a time frame in which we must confront and transmute limited and rigid mental patterns. This is necessary in order to expose intellectual patterns and ideas that are preventing further growth. A growing need for diversity and to reach out for new experiences is a reflection of the need for mental expansion/reformulation. In order to enforce this evolutionary need bias, personal opinions and prejudices of all sorts are commonly brought to consciousness awareness either through internal or external confrontations. For example, sudden arguments commonly occur at this time because the individual is stuck or fixed within his or her limited mental framework/attitude and cannot see the legitimacy of the others point of view. The individual can also suddenly erupt and confront others because the information that is communicated is now perceived as superficial, shallow and lacking in necessary depth. It is important to understand when this occurs it directly reflects the evolutionary need for the individual to deepen their intellectual framework and eliminate outdated/ridged mental patterns. In this way, a deepening of the mental mind can occur.
In addition to the above, we must look at the natal position of Mercury by house and sign locality to determine how this evolutionary process may manifest. In a broad, or general, sense the individual maybe intellectually "open" or "fixed." Intellectually open types will not want to commit to a point of view/perspective, and typically tend to play "devils advocate" in order to defend this mental structure/orientation. In other words, these individuals will commonly try to refute those who attempt to point out an error in deficiency in information/ideas that have been collected/absorbed. In intellectually open types there is a mental openness to almost any point of view. As a result, the individual does not have a consistent point of view or a way to truly assimilate the information that is absorbed. This then creates conflicting points of view/information (revolving door of perspectives).
Conversely, if the individual is the fixed or closed types he or she will typically reject or deny the view points which do not reflect or validate his or her own view point(s). In this intellectually closed condition, the individual will habitually defend their pre existing view points and resist absorbing the legitimate information/perspectives that will allow a natural and necessary mental deepening and expansion to occur. In a general sense, if Mercury is in a fixed sign/position in the natal chart (e.g, Mercury in Scorpio or the 8th house) it tends to indicate an intellectually fixed typed. Generally speaking, if Mercury is in a mutable position in the birth chart (e.g, Mercury in Sagittarius or the 9th house) it tends to indicate a mentally open type. Again, the core point within this is to illustrate how this evolutionary reformulation/transmutation may take place when Pluto transits the 3rd house/Mercury.
As an illustration of the above a client experienced an intense reformulation of her mental framework as Pluto transited her Mercury in Sagittarius in the 7th house. During this time she become aware of the nature of her own exaggerations and extremities in regards to a need to align with her natural truth via embracing a deeper understanding of natural laws/principles of which she had not previously been aware. For example, she shared that it was during this transit that she first became aware of the nature of her own extremities within relationships relative to an inner need to compensate for her natural nature/truth because of an underlying need to be needed (transiting Pluto in the 7th house and natal Mercury conjunct Venus and Neptune). She was able to communicate that she felt she was always looking for a reflection of herself via a partner/relationship. In essence, she felt that she was unconsciously attracting others who appeared to be "teacher types" and possessed a wisdom that she currently lacked (natal Sun in Sagittarius/6th house). She realized that she was "setting up" this type of imbalance/extremity and wanted to bring it into balance/harmony at this time.
Positively speaking, this transit induced the necessary communication/intellectual intake to bring this dynamic to light/conscious awareness. She was able to see through comparison and contrast those who were "natural teachers" and who encouraged others to develop and trust their own intuitive knowledge by embracing information that is founded on natural laws/principles verses those who attempted to impose their ideas and opinions and desired to play a teacher type role within relationships (Venus/Mercury/Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius/7th house). This dynamic was brought to resolution and completion as reflected by Neptune's conjunction to Mercury in the natal chart. As a reflection of her desire to mentally grow and expand beyond these limitations a very affirming message that she received at this time was to trust and develop her own "inner teacher" via the Sagittarius archetype.
Thanks again for the participation within this thread and please post any questions and illustrations!

Hi Deva,
Great example to help understand Pluto and mercury however it may relate. Pluto transits through third or Pluto on Mercury or other Pluto aspects to mercury. I do have a question though about chart emphasis and where to focus...Let's say you have Pluto transiting through your third..you look to natal mercury to get more information on the mental structure of this soul and the evolutionary possibilities..closed, open etc.
But, how would you read for example mercury in Sag. in the second, ruler Jupiter in the 8th (inconjunct relationship by signs)? Closed or open? Sag open, but 2nd house and 8th not so much
How I would interpret that would be a soul desiring to expand and understand how he/she relates to their own resources, to expand their philosophical framework around resources..both as an individual and to understand my shared resources with others?? A strong emphasis on learning what beliefs and ideas are providing self sufficiency and self-worth and also how that relates to my relationship with others (8th), giving, sharing in a more natural way? Following "real" values, and the necessary adjustment and crisis around that. Perhaps where there has been manipulation, power struggles etc.
Would love your input. I am realizing how Pluto is really ALWAYS our bottom line, natally and in transit and how much about our current life unfolding process can be understood this way.

Hi, Robin- great questions about Pluto/Mercury transits! From the symbols you have given I would interpret it has an ongoing need to embrace a deeper sense of truth in the context of expansion via natural laws (Mercury in Sagittarius) than has been identified for survival purposes (isolated "frog in the well" perspective of Mercury). Keep in mind that the 2nd house Mercury will be fixed in the sense of only mentally absorbing facts/information that are personally relevant. Positively expressed, this can manifest as developing self-reliance via embracing natural principles/laws that promote the ideas you have stated (self-effort/natural values, etc).
In regards to Jupiter in the 8th inconjunct to Mercury it symbolizes a crisis when the belief systems become limited/outdated and do not allow further growth because the need to embrace deeper truths/laws via self-effort will threaten the person's current survival needs and resulting meaning/values in life in a general sense. In other words, the person will be "stretched" to expand upon their current philosophical/metaphysical understanding of life via an experience of crisis that serves to thrown the individual back upon him or herself and identify the limitations of the current mental/philosophical framework (Mercury in Sag/2nd house inconjunct Jupiter in the 8th house). Positively speaking, the individual could then deepen this psychological knowledge/wisdom and "root" into the process of overcoming the limitations described above. In this way, the fixed energy in the chart Mercury in the 2nd/Jupiter in the 8th) can become an asset in terms of this becoming a fix pattern that promotes ongoing evolution/growth instead of stagnation and resistance to necessary change.
In terms of a focus point/what to emphasize I would advise to promote the idea that crisis in indented to "show" the individual necessary points of mental/intellectual deepening and also that the resources that are sought lie within the individual verses seeking external sources for the desires growth and expansion (Mercury in Sagittarius/2nd house inconjunct Jupiter in the 8th house).
In the context of Pluto/Mercury transits the individual a progressive loss of meaning/stagnation within the mental/philosophical and desire to generate a diversity of experiences to bring the necessary knowledge that will allow the expansion/evolution described above. One way this can occur is coming into contact with natural "teacher types" who promote the core ideas stated above and founded on natural laws/principles. The individual will naturally feel the limitations of their mental/intellectual structure yet potentially be able to "interpret" (Jupiter in the 8th house) this in a positive way instead of from a dis empowered standpoint.
Please let me know if anything I have written is unclear or if you have any more illustrations/questions!

We recently received a photo of an unusual looking caterpillar that was found by Wendy Conely, of Solon Township. She wondered what type of caterpillar it was.
We guessed it to be a cecropia moth caterpillar, and naturalist Ranger Steve Mueller, of Cedar Springs, confirmed it is indeed a cecropia moth larva. "If it was crawling about, it is probably looking for a place to spin a cocoon," said Steve. "It will over winter and emerge in May if kept outside. If the cocoon is kept indoors it will emerge as an adult early and will not find a mate for reproduction."
Ranger Steve is the state coordinator for Michigan and Utah for the national database of Butterflies and Moths of North America (BAMONA), a citizen science website. He said it was a good year for the silk moths, and he received several photos of adult moths that people submitted to document the species for their county.
"When people submit a butterfly or moth record, I verify the identification and then it is posted on the national database," he explained.
Anyone can take photos and submit them to BAMONA, no species knowledge necessary. To learn more, or to get involved, visit www.butterfliesandmoths.org.

*** please allow up to 2 weeks for me to make and ship! Often I've sold what's posted and have to make duplicates.
Possibly the most utilitarian of all my bags, yet still stinkin' cute. This bag is my "road trip" bag- my "let the good times roll" bag because it's so easy to wear, holds just the right amount of stuff, and can go anywhere. Where will your adventure be? The strap is 1.5 inches wide, made from durable, black nylon webbing and extends from 29" all the way to 54". Wear it high, hang it low. The bottom is wide, so the purse stands up easily on its own and provides a lot of space inside. The back pocket is made of vinyl with a little design embellishment and sewn down the middle to provide 2 pockets. The inside lining is unbleached cotton with 2 convenient pockets. It all zips shut at the top with an 11 inch zipper. I made the pom poms with a braided rope connecting them so they can be looped on the bag for extra flirtiness, or taken off.
This color combo is the bomb. The turquoise vinyl is shown best in the main photo (it's green-blue). The dark brown vinyl vulture, with his little bitty hot pink head and pearly, cream-colored vinyl beak looks so rad on the turquoise! I have this color combo in the medium size, crossbody bag as well.
Adjustable strap: 29"–54"
height: 10.5"
length: 14"
bottom width: 3.5"
I accept PayPal and all major credit cards. Taxes are added for Texas residents.
Most items are made to order, so I do need a little time to cut out and sew your new bag! If it's already made, I will get it in the mail as quickly as possible. If you need something faster than my shipping time of 1-2 weeks*, please convo me so I'm aware of it. I appreciate your patience, it's only me running this show and I try to hustle, but I also want to make sure I have time to make the best possible purse for you. * Please remember the shipping schedule is 1-2 weeks beginning the day after the order is placed. You will receive an email with your usps tracking number as soon as it's on the way!
Please contact me if there is any reason you want to return an item, and if it's damaged or flawed--- I really, really want to fix it for you! I try to run quality control over here, but sometimes I miss stuff! I do my best to make sturdy bags that can be loved for years. For exchanges, I ask that you pay for the shipping to return it to me, and for the shipping of the item you want in place of the returned item.
I do not do custom orders, but if you have a suggestion for a bag that falls within the designs I have, please feel free to contact me and we'll discuss it! I've had some wonderful ideas come from customers!

Dinner Tonight: Apple, Almond, and Smoked Mozzarella Farro Salad Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
I used to hate meals like this one. It didn't strike me so much as a dish as an excuse to toss everything imaginable into a bowl and call it dinner. Worst of all, there was something obnoxiously healthy about it all.
But, thanks to some supreme late-night hunger pangs, I was forced to sample this concoction, which my wife had been planning to take to work for lunch, from Simple Italian Snacks. And, completely against my will, I had to admit that I kind of loved it.
Why? Well, the combination of almonds, sweet dried cranberries, and apples is never bad, and the addition of smoked mozzarella adds another layer of flavor. The farro cooks up plump and distinct, making each bite filling. The wine-roasted garlic is easily the most complicated part of this very simple recipe, yet it gives each bite an indescribable edge.
- Yield:4 people
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:1 hour
- Rated:
- For the Wine-Roasted Garlic
- 10 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Splash of white wine
- For the Farro Salad
- 1 cup farro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup blanched almonds, chopped
- 2 apples
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup craisins
- ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves
- 6 ounces smoked mozzarella, cut into ½-inch cubes
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper
For the wine-roasted garlic: Preheat oven to 350°. Place garlic cloves in the center of a 1-foot by 1-foot sheet of aluminum foil. Top with the honey and wine. Fold the aluminum foil up into a pouch. Place pouch on a baking sheet, and then transfer to the oven. Cook until garlic is soft, about 45 minutes. Set aside, turn off oven, and let cool. Then squeeze the garlic out of their skins and set aside.
For the farro salad: While the garlic is cooking, combine farro, salt, and six cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 25 minutes. When done, drain the farro in a colander, and then dry for 10 minutes on a paper-towel-lined tray.
Core both apples, and cut into ½-inch cubes. Toss them immediately into a medium-sized bowl with the lemon juice and enough water to cover.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Pour the almonds into a medium skillet set over medium heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until toasted. Transfer almonds to a large bowl along with the farro, craisins, parsley, mozzarella, and wine-roasted garlic. Drain the apples and add them, too. Toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

SPRINGFIELD MO -- On Friday, Jan. 27, the Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Springfield Conservation Nature Center will receive a visit from one of America's earliest and undoubtedly most famous naturalists. "A Visit From John James Audubon" will conclude the Nature Center's Nature and the Arts series. This free program will be from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. and is suggested for ages 12 and up.
Audubon, portrayed by naturalist Chris Pistole, remains one of the greatest American naturalists and nature artists. Through his travels, writings and artwork, Audubon caused 19th-century Americans to take note of the rich diversity of wildlife species around them. Naturalists today still consult his descriptions of the now-extinct passenger pigeon and Carolina parakeet. His groundbreaking artwork still inspires people today to appreciate the beauty and diversity of nature.
Registration is required for this program. To register or for more information, call 417-888-4237.

Programs banner
Program Overview
Driven and inspired by investigators of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC), the restructuring from research axes into programs is rooted in our Research Strategic Plan. The proposal to the Canada Foundation for Innovation for new facilities included the creation of themes that would represent the scientific foci of research neighbourhoods, physical segments of the Centre for Translational Biology (CTB) at the Glen and Montreal General Hospital (MGH) sites. Our researchers have now articulated those themes in the form of full-blown interdisciplinary programs.
Bringing together a minimum of 15 investigators who identify with common themes across the three pillars of basic, evaluative and clinical research, each of the new RI-MUHC research programs was designed by its members. Each has been tailored to optimize existing strengths, create new synergies across and beyond the organization, and maximize opportunities afforded by the highly interactive new facilities at the Glen and the renovated facilities at the MGH site.

Last week, I decided to replace the ol' spark plugs on my 2005 Subaru Impreza RS. While the car was running perfectly fine, I figured that they were due since the car had 105K miles on it. Luckily for me, yanking the spark plugs out of a non-turbo Subaru Impreza is completely drama free. Within a few minutes, all of the old ones were out and they clearly looked worn out. Their gaps were twice what the factory called for, and then some. It's really amazing that the Subie wasn't running rougher.
Before long the new spark plugs were tossed back in, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a noticeable difference in engine smoothness at idle, and while accelerating. I hadn't realized that it wasn't smooth before, until I felt the new smooth. Sure enough, the new smooth is considerably better. I'm hoping that this will gets me the other mile per gallon that I need to hit a consistent 30… We'll see!
The End
