Re: anx-xprw-ra is Nipḫururias
Wed Dec 21, 2011 03:25
Hi Joe
In post 12394 you showed us how you get Nipḫururia from nḫ-ḫprw-r, The last stage was via
The /p/ in xprw is transposed as usual.
But in EA 41 addressed to Ḫururia, tell us where does this /p/ go.
I read carefully the 1994 paper by authors A. C. V. M. Bongenaar and B. J. J. Haring in JCS 46. They assume the name An-ḫa-pu in a Neo-Babylonian tablet (BM 57701 = CT 56, 87 col. III, line 21) is an abbreviation of anx=f-n-(DN) 'He lives for (DN)'. They also think the name In-ḫa-hu-ú (BM 59410 rev. 23') also begins with "ankh" but they are not sure what the Egyptian name is behind the Akkadian cuneiform script. They propose anx-ḥr (not to be confused with Ankh-Hor) and they think it means 'The face (of a god?) may live'. I have not been able to find any example of a proper name like this in Egyptian.
The co-authors' think the above two names begin with "ankh" largely because of the idea of Vittmann in a 1984 GM article, "Zu einigen keilschriftlichen Umschreibungen agyptischer Personennamen", GM 70 (1984), p. 65. So much has changed since 1984 I wonder how many would still stand by Vittmann. An-ḫa-pu and In-ḫa-hu-ú may have been Egyptians in Babylon during the Neo-Babylonia period, but their names do not have to be Egyptian. In the Late Period Egyptians often had non-Egyptian names.
The exact pronunciation of 'nḫ (anx) in ancient Egyptian is unknown. The guttural word-initial ayin is represented in writing graphically in old Egyptian but scholarship believes it began to weaken in Ptolemaic times. We see this weakening, I would say loss, in Ακεγ- (from Ακεγχερὴς) which would be a metathesis of Αγκε (anke) + χερὴς (x[p]r-ra) = anx-xpr.w-ra. The ayin vanished in spoken Egyptian and no symbol for it survives in the Coptic script. These are some of what remain of "ankh" in Coptic and other African languages.
Coptic: onh (life, live)
Songhai: ahona (life)
Akan: nkwa (life)
Nobiin/Nubian: ang (to live, be alive)
Fulani: yonki (life); yunki (to live, be alive)
Soninke: yonki (breath, soul)
Kanuri: nenga (life)
In the Coptic example the ayin is lost and a vowel remains, but one expects at least /a/ and not the long ō vowel. Some of these examples look as if the guttural ayin is interchanged with another guttural (ayin > y) and that the vowel was a historically long vowel. In other examples the ayin + vowel are elided and /n/ becomes the initial consonant producing a deep guttural sound. I will come back to this last example in a moment.
"praenomina incorporating ḫprw-r were bound to give non-Egyptians trouble, especially since we know that these tended to be abbreviated in speech by the elision of the distinctive first element" (D.B. Redford, BASOR 211 [1973], p. 49).
Redford means the /p/ in xpr.w-ra is lost in Akkadian transliteration leaving just xr.w-ra (ḫuriya).
Actually the labial is not always lost. Νεφερχερης shows that the "nfr" element was fully articulated in the Hellenistic period. Hard to believe it was not the case in the New Kingdom, but in spoken Egyptian the royal name nfr-xpr.w-ra (Neferkheperure) lost the second syllable and was replaced by the /p/ from xpr:
r.w-ra < n
-xr.w-ra < na-a
-ḫu-ru-ri-ia (EA 8)
r.w-ra < n
-xr.w-ra < na
-ḫur-i-ri-ia (EA 28)
And since /p/ is also a labial consonant it can interchange with another labial. Here is an actual case.
r.w-ra < n
-xr.w-ra < na
-ḫur-ri-ia (EA 55)
This example is known whereas labial /p/ interchanging with the dental /n/ in the element "nb" is imaginary.
If we anticipate the complete loss of /p/ the possible Akkadian transliteration of Ankhkheperure would be:
r.w-ra < anx-xr.w-ra < an-ḫa-ḫu-ru-ri-ia-a
But in EA 41 addressed to Ḫururia, tell us where does this /p/ go?
Here is your answer in the Wilhelm and Boese theory.
Going back to the previous example of ayin in anx eliding with /n/. I have been saying that depending on the contemporary articulation of the name Ankh-kheperu-re, which we do not know, the Egyptian form of the name might easily appear in the Akkadian literature as:
r.w-ra < n
xrwra --- ni-i
r.w-ra < p
xrwra --- pi-i
In both examples ayin has been elided and the /p/ has been transposed from xpr just as in Nap-ḫurreya. The second example is exactly what happened with Nim-murreya > Im-murreya > Mim-murreya. The /n/ was lost and the labial /m/ was doubled -- Mi-im. The cuneiform script allows for several interpretations. These are mine.

A Wider Bridge is a Natan Fund Grantee
A Wider Bridge is proud to announce that we have been chosen among the grant recipients of The Natan Fund for the 2015-2016 grant year.
The Natan Fund, a giving circle based in New York City supporting Jewish and Israeli social innovation, today announced $1.2 million in 46 grants to cutting-edge emerging Jewish and Israeli nonprofit organizations and social entrepreneurs.
"we are grateful for the continued support that A Wider Bridge has received from The Natan Fund as we expand our work of enabling LGBT Jews throughout North America to deepen their connection to Israel and to Jewish peoplehood," said Arthur Slepian, Executive Director of A Wider Bridge. "We also congratulate Eshel for being among the new grantees announced by The Natan Fund."
The 2015-2016 grants mark the organization's 12th annual round of grantmaking and one of the largest grant pools in the organization's history. Through a multi-stage vetting process, 67 of Natan's 100+ members and supporters, sitting on nine different grant committees reviewed almost 300 applications, ultimately making grants to organizations based in North America, Israel, Argentina, Austria, Sweden and the UK.
Grant recipients range from the earliest-stage ideas of individual social entrepreneurs to "post-startup" organizations that Natan has supported for multiple years. Most grantees seek to create new access points to Jewish life for people around the world, including through arts and culture, food and outdoor education, emerging spiritual communities, cutting-edge uses of new media, and efforts to ensure that Jewish communities and institutions are broadly inclusive and welcoming.

A Wider Bridge was chosen in Jewish Peoplehood category, supporting organizations that are building connections between young Jews across national, ethnic, denominational, and ideological borders; that foster a sense of mutual responsibility between Jews; that emphasize the Jewish People's collective responsibility to heal the world; and/or that grapple with the special role that Israel plays in contemporary Jews' identity. read more

Fears… Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." Prayer: Lord, I pray that fear will not rule over us. Instead may your word penetrate every fiber of our being, letting us know that your love for us is far greater than anything we face and nothing can separate us from it. You have not given us a spirit of fear. You've given us power love, and a sound mind. (2 timothy 1:7). My husband and I will not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday (psalm 91:5-6).

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly the next footballer who could face a prison sentence for alleged tax fraud.
The Portuguese has been accused of tax fraud, according to documents supplied to German publication Der Spiegel by Football Leaks.
It has been claimed that Ronaldo has shifted at least €150 million (R2.2 billion) in income through tax havens in the British Virgin Islands since 2009.
On Monday, the union of Spain's tax agency employees requested that Spanish authorities look into Ronaldo's case and estimated that the player could be fined €600 000 (R8.9 million) for each year between 2011 and 2013, and also face a prison sentence of two to six years per incident if found guilty.
"In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Tax Agency has ordered an inspection for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013," a statement read, as published by the Daily Star.
"For each of those years, if there has been tax fraud, it would probably surpass 600 000 euros and if companies in tax havens had been used, we'd be talking about 'aggravated fiscal fraud' which would carry a prison sentence of two to six years for each crime.
"However, if the player admits wrongdoing and pays back the amounts requested, in his case, the punishment could be reduced so he would receive a maximum prison sentence of 18 months if convicted of three counts of tax fraud and would avoid jail as a first-time offender."
It appears that if Ronaldo admits to any wrongdoing after being found guilty, the potential sentence could be reduced to 18 months in prison.

They continue to stand guard against the enemy as we live our daily lives often unaware of their sacrifices and the sacrifices of their families…I pray God's blessing upon each of you who are serving and thank God for each one who has served in the past or has given their lives for the freedoms we enjoy. May God protect you and bless you, may He smile upon you and grant you His peace as He holds you in His loving hand. with gratefulness….
I'm grateful for my cousins, uncles, and grandfathers who have served as well as my friends who entered the military after high school or community college. Jesus said, "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends (John 15:13 NLT)", and the willingness of our troops do just this is an act of love for our nation.
My brother-in-law served two tours of duty in Iraq and if I were chosen I would give this bible to him. I know that he would greatly appreciate it!
My grandson served in the Marines – he just got his honorable discharge – and was deployed in Afghanistan as well as on a ship. I went to see him off for his deployment to Afghanistan and spent the day in his room the day before they left. I will never forget those wonderful, brave and courageous warriors! They were so helpful to each other and treated me with such respect. My grandson lost 3 of his best buddies in Afghanistan and had their names and dates they fell tattooed on his back. Though I don't like tattoos, that was one I was proud of him for getting!
My Nephew joined the Marines just weeks prior to September 11th. He survived 2 tours of Iraq and has served our country selflessly. He is an inspiration to our whole family

This Just In: Chuck Norris Unable to End Iraq War, Tim Tebow To Be Sent In
First, watch this:
Now, the discussion:
1) Chuck Norris just went to Iraq? And the war is still on? We are so fucking screwed.
2) Who in their right mind let Chuck Norris on a news show as a fill in anchor? He manages to be the only guy who could possibly bring the intelligence level of Hannity and Colmes down. Good job Fox News. You once again prove why you're the best.
3) For a while there, Chuck Norris jokes were all the rage. I enjoyed them too, until I saw him and his wife on the Christian channel promoting teaching the Bible in public schools. What little respect I had for him was gone right there. And this only reinforces it. I'm glad the Republican Masters gave Norris a message and that he was able to stick to it. But for a guy who believes in some kind of educational reform (admittedly, a very stupid kind), he should probably read a book that's not the Bible before you start asking a politically knowledgeable Iraqi rapper about Iraq. Just saying.
4) I listened to that song they talk about in the clip. Its really quite good.

Optofluidics Systems Technology - Rabus, Dominik G.
"At the cross-roads of biology, microfluidics and photonics the field of optofluidics allows for quick and compact solutions for medical and biochemical sensing and manipulation.
This book is concerned with the ingredients for a polymer-based platform which is able to culture and pattern life cells for a sufficient period of time, enables the integration of photonic devices, and provides means to integrate electronic readout. Thus – in its cross-discipline approach – it touches on aspects of photonics, nanofabrication, and biological methods alike."

Eleanors is named after 18th century Scottish noblewoman, Lady Eleanor MacDougal, who sailed to the Caribbean in search of a new life after a fall from grace in her homeland. Eleanor first landed in Antigua and slowly made her way through the Caribbean islands, picking up work as a cook and seamstress as she moved from place to place. Along the way, she wrote down the recipes she learned from local cooks in her journal.
Eventually, she made her way to Jamaica, where she caught the eye of a local sugar cane plantation owner who courted and eventually married her.

As the sun sets over the sea, the ambience shifts to pure romance, where the stars, candles, and tiki torches light the night, and the waves softly lapping against the shoreline provide the perfect soundtrack.
Neptune, the Roman god of water and the sea, is one of the most well known deities of Roman mythology.It's said that his powers are at the core of Neptunes, our Mediterranean seafood restaurant—and after dining here, you just might believe the old tale rings true.
For years, the chefs of Neptunes have made it their mission to provide the most authentic reflection of Mediterranean heritage through robust menu offerings and a sundry setting. From the splendour of the rustic, open-air restaurant design, to the beauty of the turquoise sea, guests are offered a true, coastal Mediterranean experience directly on the beach, against the backdrop of the beautiful Jamaican Riviera.

These days, buying a boat is no big deal. And no, boats haven't become cheaper. It is just that boat loans are easily available.
Now a person who decides to buy a boat can buy a brand new one or a used boat. It is true that buying a new boat would be much more satisfactory than buying one which has already been used. But the problem is that the value of the boat would drastically decline as soon as it is purchased and delivery is taken.
It would make more sense to buy a used boat. Boat owners don't use their boats very often and hence wear and tear will be minimal. In fact many people hardly use the boat at all. Getting a loan for a used boat is also not a problem as long as the boat is not very old, say more than 10 years. But if one is buying a used boat and has applied to the bank for a boat loan, the bank would want to have the boat to be surveyed. This is to ascertain its value accurately, as the amount of the loan is usually a percentage of the value of the boat.
So yes, the bank does verify the value of the boat. The survey of a boat is usually done by an independent surveyor. He personally visits the boat, checks the entire boat, and lists out all the features of the boat as well as its accessories. He will also note down the year of boat manufacture and the model. He will then calculate the value of the boat and add to it the value of the accessories. The survey report will be submitted to the bank based on which the bank will decide whether the loan is to be given. If the loan request is to be granted then the loan amount will also be determined on the basis of the reported boat value.

Maximize Your Holidays With Microsoft?
I receive an iPad 2 as an early Christmas present this year. A lovely little gadget, my husband thought it would be an ideal present for a frequent traveler like myself. I would no longer need to dedicate space in my carry-on for the bulky novels, library books, and trashy magazines that accompany (and amuse) me on long plane rides. But what my husband intended as a considerate, thoughtful gift slowly began to put a wedge between us. The iPad 2 became a catch all for my "to do" and shopping lists. It tagged along with us on our weekly trips to Target and Whole Foods. Then it cozied up on the couch with us for our weekly episode of HBO's "Boardwalk Empire." It sat with me in the kitchen while I cooked and it even came to bed with us one night. (I fell asleep playing "Plants Vs. Zombies.") My lack of attention to daily chatter and life in general was first a frustration, then an annoyance, then an issue of jealousy for my husband. We turned the iPad 2 off and we talked. The iPad doesn't come out to play as much now.
This year, as I've listened to folks from all walks of life, I've picked up on a theme about technology and relationships. Many of my girlfriends feel they can't connect with their husbands because their husbands are so busy connecting with their phones. I've also heard rumors of banning cell phones and texting from the family dinner table. Focus group participants talk about feeling too connected to technology but not connected enough emotionally. It seems people struggle to use technology to build or even make better those intimate moments of human connection. So when Microsoft's "Keep Shopping" commercial popped up on a DVR'd episode of Bravo's "Top Chef," I paid attention. The commercial features a dad shopping for grocery's using Microsoft OneNote (an organizational tool that comes with Office 2010) to buy groceries. He's accessing the program on his phone, his kids are accessing it from their home PC. After he picks up the usual eggs, milk, etc. more curious items pop up on the list like coconuts, candy, and soda. Dad realizes his kids are masterminding the list. Laughter ensues and then this messages flashes on the screen,"It's a great time to be a family."
Here, Microsoft is using warm fuzzies and funnies to illustrate how technology can connect families and even enhance their relationship through increased communication. But is this a reality or a marketing ploy? Turns out, Microsoft conducted research to add some proof to the pudding. According to a survey conducted through Impulse Research, 64% of surveyed parents age 22-40 said technology brings their families closer. It's even more important to younger parents (age 22-30) with 74% reporting the same.
Microsoft takes its lead from this report and is now committed to a whole "how to" campaign for connecting families through technology. To look at their bullet list of how to connect over the holidays and get advice on"…how to take advantage of all technology has to offer and help ensure screens don't become a barrier to connecting," click here. To tell me what you think about Microsoft's overall campaign, the "Keep Shopping" commercial, or whether you think technology is a tool for distraction or relationship enhancement, head to the comments.

The Marketing Box offers marketing services to small and medium sized businesses.
Starting in Adelaide, South Australia, we serve businesses in a wide variety of industries and sectors.
We are a little different to traditional marketing consultants although we offer all of the same services.
We offer low cost, defined packages to our smaller customers, so they know exactly what they're getting and what they can achieve when using us.
For our medium sized customers, our "Time Blocks" allow you to benefit from having an experienced and trained marketing professional at your disposal to complete a range of marketing activities, for a short or longer period of time.
You focus on running the business you love, and let us take care of the marketing tasks to support you.
When I was a marketing consultant at a big firm, I found out how enjoyable it was to be able to work with many different types of clients who needed our help. The business owners I encountered were extremely passionate and dedicated many hours to making their business succeed.
Every now and then we would come across a business who although had a great passion for what they sold, were unable to manage the business side and had often not engaged in any marketing beyond printing a flyer.
They needed a bit of help – a sidekick of sorts, to help them become the business superhero they longed to be.
I've created The Marketing Box to try and offer businesses a variety of packages to choose from, to use in their business to grow it, develop it and make it the success they've dreamed it would be.
I've also tried to make The Marketing Box accessible for small and medium sized businesses that don't normally have access to a marketing professional, because I love what I do, and I'm passionate about demonstrating what marketing can do for an organisation.
Through working in Australia and the USA I've met many business owners, connected with many types of organisations and seen what success looks like when a business is balanced in operations, sales, finance and marketing.
At The Marketing Box, we hope to bring your business success when you let us take care of the marketing for you.

Monthly Archives: April 2011
April Astrology Highlights"Dancing with the Stars"By Janis Page c2011Happy spring! How lovely to have the hours of light now outnumber the hours of darkness, and warmer temperatures to allow more time outside in nature. It's a good thing, and a good idea to do just that – take a break, go outside, to the mountains or at least a park, and spend some decompression time just breathing and taking in the nurturing energies of nature and the Sun. A little rest and recharge will help, because April continues the amplification of the energies that have been increasing in intensity for a while now. Big time.March brought not only the spring equinox, but also the ingress, or entry of Uranus into Aries – on the day of the Japan earthquake, now upgraded to 9.1, the resultant tsunami, and the start of the continuing worsening disaster at the nuclear power plant in Japan. Wow! Aries is 'ready, fire, aim!' As I write, eleven days later, Japan continues to have earthquakes of at least 6.0 every day, and the supermoon full Moon on the 19th isn't calming things down.March ends with Mercury beginning its first retrograde cycle for the year, calling for time to reassess, redefine our focus, finish what has been started, along with the frequent communication and technology snafus that Mercury Rx usually also brings. We've been in a time of major solar flares, which further activate and amplify all the stress and confusion and technology challenges.April begins day 1 calling us all fools, as now Mars enters his own fiery sign of Aries to further heat things up, and to quickly conjunct Uranus two days later. That's a lot like throwing gasoline on a fire… so now we have Mars, Jupiter and Uranus all in Aries – that only happens about every 500 years! Jupiter and Uranus together can be quite innovative and expansive, and indicate significant events in foreign relations, but then adding Mars to the mix increases the likelihood of aggression and violence, and possibly more religious conflicts. The last time these three planets were in Aries was 1595. There was war, some treaties, and the first performance of Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet.' Hmm!The chart for the new Moon on April 3rd is astonishing. The Sun, Moon, and Jupiter are conjunct in Aries, in tight opposition to Saturn Rx conjunct the uranian transneptunian Zeus, which relates to fire, explosions, the military, organizations, inflammation, and squaring the asteroid Siwa, which relates to Asia. There is Japan. On this same axis, on the 90 degree dial we also find Neptune (water, illusion, compassion), Transpluto (usually mute, but nearly always active when major crises happen), Hygeia (issues around health), and the asteroids Odysseus (travel), Industria (hard work), the asteroid Zeus-a (same as the TNP already involved), and Klotho (new beginnings). We also consider what midpoints are activated by an axis, and the list is longer than I want to type out. I will say it includes Mars/Vulcanus, Uranus/Vulcanus, each adding more explosive volatility, and Hades/Apollon, suggesting multiple incidents of breakdown, but also healing possibilities.There's more. This day of the new Moon is the day that Mars makes his exact conjunction to Uranus (that is 5, half the traditional planets in Aries, if you are counting) and also Black Moon Lilith, relating to shadow issues, all on the universal Aries/cardinal axis. The events this brings about will have global, collective impact. If this huge casserole of intense planetary beings isn't mindboggling enough, transformative Pluto, the planet of power and the abuse of it, falls at the midpoint of the two Aries clusters. To add even more of a kick, Pluto is further intensified as the little powerhouse now digs in stationary, preparing to turn Rx on the 9th, and will remain Rx till the middle of September.We are already seeing the amplification of the striving for personal freedom (Mars, Jupiter and Uranus in Aries) crashing against the control of established political powers (Saturn in Libra in opposition and the square to Pluto). On the personal level, we must release old patterns and belief systems that are limiting our greater spiritual vision. You may remember reading that here before, and more than once… I know, it isn't easy. But it's easier than trying to resist, which is sort of like trying to beat back a tidal wave with a fly swatter.Then the next day, after Jupiter entered Aries in January and then Uranus entered Aries in March, now on April 4th, giant, watery Neptune enters its own sign of Pisces, to be there till January, 2026! With an orbit of about 160 years, Neptune was last in Pisces 1847-1861, when there was a spiritualism movement in America, driven by a desire to explore the unseen and unknown. Neptune relates to spirituality, religion, the astral realms, addictions, illusion, glamour (including of the Alice Bailey variety), oceans, oil. At its highest level, Neptune relates to universal compassion. While Neptune in technology-based Uranus brought the era of relationships over the internet and dating sites, well, I don't know that that will stop, but it will change somehow. Beyond that, we may expect breakthroughs in spiritual healing, including thru music and imagery, a greater sense of compassion and increasing awareness of unity consciousness, but also possibly further increase in religious conflicts and fundamentalism, and issues around oil, as well as concern for the oceans and of water as a resource.We've only gotten as far as April 4th! On the 6th, the Sun conjuncts Jupiter, bringing one of the more expansive and upbeat days we've had for a while. April 9th, Pluto turns Rx, and while at a standstill Mars makes an exact square to it on the 11th. This is a good day to be careful, as tempers and rage may possibly abound, and with Mercury also conjunct Jupiter that day, some will be quite positive and optimistic, but others may go way over the top, knowing no limits and respecting no boundaries.The full Moon on April 17th has the uranian transneptunian Apollon (multiples, commerce) tightly conjunct the Moon in social and diplomatic Libra squaring intense and focused Vulcanus. Across the dial is an interesting cluster of asteroids, including Sphinx (questions), Lilith (triangulations, rivalries, rejections), and Eros (sexual energy, hormones and cardio issues) Expect relationship issues to be up, and those on the edge to come to a head at this time. Another cluster on the dial has Aries Mars and Mercury opposing Saturn conjunct Zeus, which can be explosive as people want to blast beyond imposed constraints. Jupiter is at the midpoint of these two clusters, emboldening and encouraging many to extremes, some of which are needed and warranted, and others to be just reckless. Pluto continues to be a player, holding powerful midpoints to Saturn/Uranus (um, that's a potential earthquake indicator, also revolution), Uranus/Zeus (explosive), Mars/Black Moon Lilith (taking things very personally, projecting, and not seeing or owning one's own part in it). The dial also brings in Astraea, vision, witnessing, and incomplete resolution, lingering situations, and Orpehus, which relates to sorrow, loss, death, and music, especially music with longing and pathos.April is an extremely intense month, with much coming to light for purification and transformation. There is ample opportunity for major spiritual growth and awareness. The way is being cleared (while sometime kicking and screaming in resistance) for the new emergent spiritual consciousness. Not all will choose to continue the journey. Those whose soul agreements are complete may choose to move on, and that's ok. Zen Buddhist teacher Cheri Huber wisely advises to pay attention to everything; don't believe anything; and don't take anything personally. Take heart, be mindful, consider and fine-tune your priorities and intent, stay in joy, gratitude, compassion, acceptance, and creativity. There is much to celebrate!
Beautification of Self~A Nick MessageBeautification of Self begins with the "inner self." Bringing oneself into a place of recognizing that one is worthy of receiving the best that one has to bring into their experience; this is key to ones happiness and joy. What is created within the mind and energetically put out is vibrationally drawn to one. You are such powerful beings, able to manifest exactly what you have in your lives, be it in contrast (negative) or in expansion (positive). There are many that are going through the tsunami of relationships. Emotions are running high, those that do not resonate within your vibration will choose to leave and those that vibrate within your level will be attracted, coming into the manifestation process within your experiences. The energy grid that is surrounding the earth is intensifying, glowing brighter and stronger, as those on the earth are coming into a place of change and love after the major earth changes and shifts. Know that this is a process of expansion and healing...the re-calibration of life and energy...lives as one see in the physical do not end in the energetic. Work is continued from the other side of the veil, on a more powerful level, assisting those that remain on the earth-plane, to continue the work that is part of their requested experience until they come into a place of transition. Calling all light workers into awareness is essential at this time. Answer the phone! With love and light, know that we love you very much.~Nick 4/13/11
Spring Equinox"Dancing with the Stars"By Janis Page c2011These are extraordinary times, and call for extraordinary measures – including writing a spring equinox 'special edition' update! First, a reminder that the planet of chaos and disruption, but also cosmic consciousness, Uranus entered fiery Aries last week on Friday the 11th – the day of the Japan earthquake, one of the worst five earthquakes in history, now upgraded to 9.1, the resultant tsunami, and the start of the continuing worsening disaster at the nuclear power plant in Japan. Wow! There is nothing subtle about that.I've been studying the charts for a while now, reading what some of my astrologer colleagues are writing, and sit here Friday night before the full Moon tomorrow morning, and this window of time is extraordinary.We are currently in a powerful seismic window until at least March 26, though I'd give it at least through the new Moon on April 3rd, where there is the possibility of more radical Earth shifts and extreme weather patterns. Consider the Pacific rim "ring of fire," indeed! There have been a series of destructive earthquakes progressing around this Pacific rim recently, starting with the 8.8 quake in Chile on Feb. 27, 2010, and in the more immediate past, the 6.3 quake in Christchurch, New Zealand on Feb. 22, 2011, and now the Japanese 9.1 quake on March 11, 2011. I can't help but notice those master numbers in those last two dates… and while there has been tragedy, people are showing up in compassion and camaraderie to help each other. If the circular progression continues, North America may be next for a bit of Earth dancing, as she clears, discharges and rebalances energy in her rebirthing process. Many are working to ease the energies, we're ok.We may see some activity by the time you read this… This full Moon in the morning is a "supermoon" when the Moon is at her perigee, or closest distance from the Earth. This is the strongest, closest supermoon that we've had in about 18-20 years, and the closest we will have until 2016. What I wrote in part at the start of the month:The full Moon at just under 29 degrees of Virgo falls on Saturday, March 19, at 11:11 am. (more master numbers!) The full Moon is conjunct the asteroids Atlantis, bringing a potential sense of 'impending doom,' water disasters, and issues of confidentiality and ethics; Terpsichore, about dance, grace and flexibility, body language; and Nemesis, relating to scapegoating, Achilles heel, seeking to place blame. This complex mix of energies opposes the Sun at the end of Pisces, conjunct Black Moon Lilith, calling for working with the shadow – what do you not see within yourself, that you may repress and then project? The Sun and BML are also conjunct Uranus, so a lot is going to blow open. But even this isn't all… the opposition makes an exact square to the nodes of the Moon, bringing in emotion (as if the full Moon isn't enough for that) and impact on the collective level. The south node of the past and karma is conjunct the uranian transneptunian Hades, which squares the full Moon axis to the exact minute. Whew! We are called to break down old structures and belief systems that no longer serve us, and at times we may feel like the ground is eroding away right under our feet. Out in space there are black holes, quasars, and other space phenomena, including several 'blazers,' which emit electromagnetic impulses. There is one at 28 Gemini, where Hades is sitting, called the Blazer Machine (no, it isn't a sewing device) The Moon was at this same degree conjunct the Blazer Machine during 9/11, the Asian tsunami, and the eruption of Krakatoa – hopefully we will not see an event of this destructive magnitude, but do note how powerful this full Moon is…Then the next day, Sunday, March 20 is the spring equinox, when the Sun enters Aries and conjuncts Uranus at zero degrees, exactly on the universal/Aries axis. Clustered with them on the 90 degree dial are Black Moon Lilith (shadow), Hades (breakdown at the end of cycles, purification or putrification, essential authenticity) and at the square, the Moon's nodes. For Denver, the ascendant is also on the Aries axis – for Washington, DC, the descendent is 1 degree Aries and the midheaven 1 Cancer, so all the angles are part of this major activation. There is another cardinal cluster here as well – the uranian transneptunian Zeus, Saturn, and the Moon running from 13 to 17 degrees of Libra opposing Jupiter at 12 Aries and Mercury at 18 Aries, opposing watery Neptune across the dial, to add the possibility of water crises, some confusion, but also compassion and awareness. Add powerful Pluto at the midpoint of the two cardinal clusters on the dial, and we can see great transformation, more revolution, including revolution in consciousness. These planetary pictures can manifest in many layers, on many levels. Take the high road to a rocket-boost evolution in consciousness! Though at best, it's not likely to be very comfortable.While many consider the winter solstice/Capricorn ingress chart the universal chart for the following year, some consider the spring equinox/Aries ingress to be the significator chart for the year. At the least, it will define the three months until the summer solstice. I would say that we could expect massive change in our country over the next three months, if not over this weekend! Things have been so intense for so long, at least we've been in training and know how to roll with it, right?We don't get a break then, either… the upcoming new Moon chart for April 3rd promises to be every bit as intense, volatile, magical and powerful, with a cardinal cluster of the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Zeus and Saturn, and another cardinal cluster of now Mars conjunct Uranus and Black Moon Lilith, still with Pluto at the midpoint. Wow! And as we had Uranus enter Aries early this month, the day after the April new Moon, giant watery Neptune will enter its own sign of Pisces. It feels as if the island we've been standing on is awakening, and we're finding ourselves on the back of a giant whale starting to move… or somethin' like that! Check back at the start of April for more on the Big Events next month.In the meantime, be aware, take heart, consider and refine your priorities, stay in joy, gratitude, trust, acceptance, and creativity, and have a very blessed full Moon and spring equinox. Now the balance shifts, and for those of us in the northern hemisphere, the light surpasses the dark. That is happening on other important levels, as well… There is much to celebrate!www.rubymala.com Previous monthly forecasts on my blog at http://blog.rubymala.com/
Winds of Change~A Nick MessageThere have been many changes occurring that have been very evident these past few weeks. Drastic external changes and others internally. These are the winds of change. It is the process of moving from the old into the new. Many of you, as biological beings, have been asking for these changes, whether it be conscious or subconscious. That in which is given energy is that which is created. Many biological beings are choosing to make their transitions at the time, many are young. They are the catalyst for change for those biological beings remaining on this earth plane, helping to bring them into awareness...an awareness for/of change. The process of bringing about something that is "new" is in truth the bringing into ones experience that which has already been known but is being remembered. The earth, your blessed planet, is going into a change of rememberance, of when it was in its purity, without the pollution, without the wars, without the negativity of lower vibrations. This process of drastic change, is in effect, changing the lives of biological beings on this planet; which in turn changes the vibration. This vibration begins at one point, such as a pebble that is dropped into a pond. The waves of change flows outwardly, changing and moving the energy of that which it comes into contact. Some waves are more powerful that others, making larger and faster changes, such as your situation in Japan. A new way of living, of life, for these biological beings will now come into their experience. It is the process of change in the highest degree. This wave of change will flow into the cosmos and bring changes on other planets and galaxies. All is as one...Remembering that your experience on this plane is also an experience for others on another. Many blessings and love.~Nick~3/17/11

Of all of the journalists who have covered the Iraq war, Michael Yon is the most credible. His new book, Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New 'Greatest Generation' of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster into Victory and Hope, has risen to a remarkable #45 on Amazon's best seller list, notwithstanding the fact that Yon works for no media company, has no organization and has supported his journalism largely through online donations.
The best tribute to Moment of Truth comes from Yon's publisher:
Michael Yon changed my mind about the war in Iraq, by making me understand it for the first time.
From the very beginning I was against the war. I thought it would be a disaster, another Vietnam. And until I had the privilege of working on this book with Michael I was always for immediate pull-out: why should one more American die for a doomed effort?
Michael–who is as close to totally non-political as anyone I know–showed me two things. First, because I judged by Vietnam, the war of my youth, I had radically underestimated what American soldiers could do. ***
I was 100 percent wrong. Today's American soldiers excel at counterinsurgency, because they excel at the most important thing: winning over the people by inspiring them with their own courage and compassion, discipline and determination. ***
Just wait until you read the Chapter "High Noon" (my favorite), the story of the American soldiers who have to arrest a corrupt but politically popular Iraqi police chief we had put in office in the first place because he had been a real hero in fighting the terrorists. He had to be removed by Americans to show the Iraqis we really did believe in the rule of law. The whole thing could have blown up into a one-town civil war with hundreds dead on both sides. Won't tell you how it ends, but you will be amazed and very proud.
I am convinced that everything I once thought about the war was wrong. The truth is we are doing a great thing in Iraq, most of the Iraqi people really do want to be a united democratic nation and already consider America their greatest friend and ally. It would be a crime to turn tail now and abandon them now.
I owe all that to Michael's book, which is why I believe publishing Moment of Truth in Iraq may be the best thing I have ever done for my country.
A stunning tribute. The Glenn and Helen Show has an excellent interview with Yon; Glenn writes:
We talk to Michael about independent blogging, the situation in Iraq and how it's changed since he started reporting in 2004, and his new book. Plus, advice for the Presidential candidates on what to say, and do, about Iraq over the coming year.
