The Civilizing Effect
Of Market Economics
THE MARKETPLACE allocates resources efficiently and unsentimentally, pausing to contemplate neither fairness nor feelings. So one might expect people in societies that embrace money and the market to be richer, but less generous and altruistic, than small bands who hunt and farm communally in isolated parts of the Amazon or Africa.
But is that reality? American generosity after Sept. 11 doesn't suggest hard-heartedness. What if we randomly picked pairs of people from the same community and did an experiment? Tell neither the other's identity. Offer Player One $100, and test his generosity by telling him to split the money any way he chooses with Player Two, who knows how big the stakes are. Add one catch to restrain Player One from being selfish: If Player Two refuses the offer, neither gets anything.
A coldly rational person -- think bond traders -- would offer as little as possible, maybe $10. And if Player Two were coldly rational, he would accept; after all, $10 is better than no dollars. But such people exist only in economists' minds.
In repeated experiments of this sort, people cast as Player One were more generous than the calculating bond trader. And people cast as Player Two were more likely to reject small offers, even though that left them with nothing. This left economists scratching their heads and wondering why we don't act as their theories say we should.
Along the way, they wondered what sorts of people act more generously: Nomadic Hazda hunter-gatherers who forage in Tanzania? Or farmers in Hamilton, Mo., in the heart of our market-oriented society?
Americans, it turns out. Hazda cast as Player One offered the equivalent of $33 on average. Hamiltonians in the same role offered $48. Anthropologists didn't use the same sums in both places, of course. The stakes were roughly a day's pay in each.
THE PATTERN across societies where experiments were conducted is counterintuitive, but consistent. The more involved people are in market activities -- such as working for wages or buying and selling goods to others -- the more generous they are. "The most altruistic and trusting societies are those that are the most market-oriented," says Jean Ensminger, an anthropologist at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena.
Experiments aren't precise substitutes for real life. But by doing enough experiments, using substantial stakes and sifting results statistically, researchers are uncovering ways in which people tend to behave differently depending on where they grow up.
See more information about some of the items mentioned in this column.
* * *
At first, the researchers experimented with college students in Indonesia, Japan, Slovenia and the U.S. They found few differences. That simply proved that college students tend to be alike no matter where they're from.
Then a young anthropologist named Joseph Henrich, who was doing unrelated fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon, found that these games could be played with unsophisticated people. His work offered early evidence that people in primitive societies might be less generous with one another than we are.
Intrigued foundations dispatched a dozen anthropologists to play this and other games with 15 communities from the Orma in East Africa, who often trade cattle and work for wages, to the Quichua in Ecuador, who don't. The games also were played in rural Hamilton and urban St. Louis.
EXPERIMENTS DON'T REVEAL why market-oriented people like the Orma make more-generous offers ($44 on average) than subsistence, slash-and-burn farmers like the Quichua ($25). Nor do they explain why Americans and others in market-oriented settings come much closer to offering partners a 50-50 split than other people do. But the games do suggest something profound about the way markets shape human behavior and relationships.
"Many people thought markets would make people selfish and amoral. That view is at least too simple, if not just plain wrong," says Samuel Bowles, an economist at the University of Massachusetts and the Santa Fe Institute.
Maybe, suggests Ms. Ensminger, altruism is a luxury that only developed societies can afford. Or maybe market societies grow accustomed to conventions, like splitting windfalls 50-50. Or maybe, as she and other researchers suspect, markets do change the way people behave, but not in the way we often think.
"Markets teach us to behave decently to strangers," Mr. Bowles speculates. "Markets are an arena in which you encounter somebody you've never seen before and engage in mutually beneficial activity." In a society without markets, people deal mainly with familiar faces. They have little practice in one-time transactions with anonymous strangers.
People overlook "assumptions about trust that are built into the market economy," adds Mr. Henrich, who will join Emory University's faculty this year. "When you take a taxi, you could walk out without paying the fare," he says. "But people generally don't." The same goes for tipping in restaurants.
Sure, some Americans stiff cab drivers and waiters. But not very many. And that offers a heartening counterpoint at a moment when Enron exposes the excesses and greed of a market society.

Winter Solstice Festival is regarded as the beginning of a new year and celebrated widely by the Chinese community. The round glutinous rice balls symbolize family unity. It is even more meaningful to have the whole family gathered together to make these glutinous rice balls. This dessert is also served to the bridal couple during weddings.
Traditionally, these glutinous rice balls are made without any filling. In recent years, many types of flavours such as peanuts, Kaya (coconut jam) or black sesame have surfaced. Nonetheless, I am very much conservative when it comes to the originality of this dessert which is to have it plain. However, I do admit that I am quite smitten with those that consist of black sesame, after trying them.
If you are planning to make this a day before, place them on a layer of plastic wrap. Cover the plate of glutinous rice balls with another layer of plastic wrap to prevent them from drying up.
Glutinous Rice Balls is also known as: Kuih EeTong YuenTang Yuen湯圓
Toast black sesame seeds and nuts until they are fragrant. They should produce a faint nutty smell. Leave it aside to cool. Blend the black sesame seeds, nuts and sugar until even.
Mix butter into the mixture. Roll black sesame filling into small balls. Set aside.
To make the dough, knead water and flour. Optionally, separate dough and add a few drops of different food colouring to each portion.
Roll the dough into small balls. Then, flatten a small ball of dough to wrap the black sesame mixture.
Prepare syrup by boiling water, pandan leaves and sugar. Once it boils, add the glutinous rice balls and cook till they float.

Cardigan Town Council has – for the first time in centuries – elected more women than men. The Council is now made up of seven female members and six male members.
While this was welcomed by councillors both past and present, it did bring to light the fact that there a huge lack of diversity in local government in other parts of Wales. Wynford Jones, the council's clerk, said that it was the first time there are more women than men on the town council.
Jones went further to say that it was the first time in the history of the town for there to be more women than men. Historically, the town has always been male-dominated., with only two lady members on it the last time.
Elaine Evans, Marilyn Farmer, Debra Griffiths, Sian Maehrlein, Catrin Miles, Yvonne O'Neill and Shan Williams are the seven women that now make up the town's council.
Ex- councillor and former mayor, Mark Cole commented that this was indeed very good news as it was a far better representation of the town. It is a positive step in the right direction. He went on to say that whatever people's individual politics may be, this change is greatly to be welcomed by all.
Traditionally politics is seen as male-dominated, and this is clearly shown in other areas such as Ceredigion Council where there are only five female councillors, one less than in the last five years.
It certainly seems that a female majority in town and community councils in west Wales is a rarity. Some examples are seen in Carmarthen, where the local council consists of 15 men and just 3 women. Lampeter also has only three women on the council.
In Carmarthenshire, the council is made up of just 31% women, with 23 out of 74 being female. In Ceredigion there are only 5 females out of 42, making it the second lowest in percentages in Wales at less than 12%.
Catrin Miles, who has been a member of Cardigan Town Council since 2008 welcomes the fact that there are now more women than men, but also says that, at the end of the day, it really does not matter whether the council has more or less women on it. What does matter is that they are all working together for the greater good of the local community.
Miles does agree that something which is good to see, is that more women are playing more roles in politics, and that can only be a good sign, and a positive move forward.
Unfortunately, this attitude is not felt by everyone. The Gender Equality Charity Chwarae Teg are adamant that the lack of women in Welsh politics is 'downright embarrassing'. The Charity points out that of the 1254 newly elected councillors throughout Wales, only 359 are women.
The Charity feels that political parties have not listened to suggestions that equality and diversity in local governments should be taken seriously.
Cerys Furlong, chief executive of the Charity says that no longer is it acceptable that organisations say they support diversity, without then following this up and making the changes needed to ensure equality is achieved.
Following on to that statement, Furlong feels that it is embarrassing that so little progress has in fact been made, and that, in this day and age councils are still content to let the status quo stand, with women largely being absent from them.
Furlong is of the opinion that the time for words has now passed, and the need for action is stronger than ever. It is time to see clear and firm action coming from all political parties in Wales.
Looking on a county scale, no single authority in Wales has more than 50% female representation. Cardigan is showing the way, starting with a more local diverse representation.

Dak Prescott
With spring right around the corner, now's a great time to take care of some spring cleaning. In Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak's case, that means a lot of un following. Dak un-followed a lot of girls on Instagram says our source. That's all he does is follow and unfollow girls on Insta, but now he's really cleaning up his act, and I heard he gets around a lot according to our source. He unfollowed them
because of that Terez post.
I'm glad he did. Some of those chicks look like straight up porn stars. That is not a good look for the qb of the dallas Cowboys" says our source. I'm glad we made Dak think twice about who he follows. Glad to help. LOL.-TO

21 Oct Do Bright Minds Experiment with Drugs?
Some great names have experimented with drugs at some point in their life. Some famous inventors and scientists have been known to use drugs. Drug use have impacted our society more than most people know.
Some famous people that have experimented with drugs are:
Andrew Weil – He is the well-known leader and Godfather of integrative medicine. He has spoken a lot about his use of morphine and psychedelic mushrooms. There is no saying as to how much he used, but the fact is that he did use them.
Bill Gates – Admitted in an interview with Playboy that he experimented with LSD in his youth. It seems like a lot of people with genius minds have tried drugs at least once in their life. Although not a scientist or inventor, John Lennon did experiment with drugs as well.
Karis Mullis – The great American biochemist that won the 1993 Nobel Prize told the California Monthly that he took a lot of LSD. Another great mind that used LSD was John C. Lilly (known in the field of electronic brain stimulation).
Paul Erdos – For those that have never heard of him, he is considered to be the leading Hungarian mathematician. His friend Ronald Graham said that Paul Erdos could not get any work done when he made a $500.00 bet with him. The bet involved him not being able to take amphetamine for a month. Paul's friend believed that if he stopped taking amphetamines, he would not be able to work well. Paul's friend proved himself to be correct. Paul Erdos got wasn't able to get any work done while he stopped taking amphetamines.
Sigmund Freud – He described cocaine as being a wonder drug. He was known to use marijuana until he died in 1939. Many executives and wealthy men and women have been involved with snorting cocaine. Cocaine is often referred to as the rich man's drug.
Steve Jobs – Said that experimenting with LSD was one of the greatest things that he ever accomplished in his life. Timothy Leary (advocate of LSD) was a popular consumer and advocate of LSD as well.
Great minds often use drugs or experiment with them for different reasons. However, many great minds also die young for different reasons. Some are related to drug use and others are related to different causes. If you look at the great minds of Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, you may see that they died of a drug overdose. People that have addiction issues should always consult with a treatment center for help.

Softball and baseball's favorite newspaper since 1987
A hometown hero stays at home
By Gordy Jones
As Joe Mauer's family and friends tailgated in the parking lot of Hammond Field in Fort Myers, someone in the group wondered what would have happened if the Twins and Joe's agent, Ron Shapiro, had not come to an agreement and Joe had ended up on the Yankees? "That would've been terrible," someone said.
"That never would have happened!" belted out Joe's dad, Jake. "He couldn't get his number 7 – they've already retired it for Mantle!"
The group responded with laughter.
As Joe signed his contract on March 22, at , I knew that, other than his thousands of fans, he'll be the last person who will ever wear a number 7 on a Twins uniform. This is a monumental deal that will shape the franchise's future. With Ron Shapiro and Bill Smith doing most of the negotiating, it was a great outcome for both sides. They both got what they wanted.
I have never seen Joe quite so emotional as he signed his eight-year, $184 million deal. Although he is soft-spoken, he's usually direct, says what's on his mind and is done with it. This time he was quite choked up, especially when he publicly thanked his family for their loyal support over the years…and I noticed that Mom and Dad were a bit overwhelmed, too.
After the ceremony, his brother Bill, who had just flown in with his wife and children, told me, "Yeah, Joe called me yesterday at about 4 o'clock and said, 'Guess what I just did…I agreed to a contract, and I thought I better tell you because it's going to be on the news in an hour.' I had already planned on coming down here today, so this worked out perfect."
The press conference
was quite convenient for his brother Jake, who stays with Joe in
That he does. Here's his routine from a few days ago: He woke up at 5 and had breakfast on the run as he went to meet Orlando Hudson for an early-morning workout. Then he reported to the ballpark at , for a , game. Until game time, he took batting practice, fielding practice and worked on some drills. He played most of the game and got three hits. After the game, his friends and family went out to happy hour for a little food and fun. His close friend Tony Leseman was visiting, and I asked him where Joe was. Tony replied that some of the guys knew of a swimming pool that had workout equipment in it, so they had gone to try it out. Another long day!
Joe's brother Jake talked about the public perception of a ballplayer's life. "Many people think they show up to play the game, then go home. You don't get to the level Joe's at by just showing up."
Also in attendance, showing their support for Joe was Justin Morneau, Steve Liddle and Ron Gardenhire. Reporters were told to identify themselves, their affiliation and to proceed with a question. Justin took the reporters' microphone and said, "Justin Morneau, Minnesota Twins. Now are you going to buy me dinner?"
Mauer and Morneau have a running joke that Joe never buys. If Joe waits too long he'll have to buy three dinners, because Justin's wife, Krista, is expecting a child.
Justin also had his
father, George, visiting him last week, and they were able to spend some time
alone, fishing. At the ballpark, George, being a proud father, loves to work
the crowd, answering questions about his son, and even signing autographs. On
the annual Minnesota Day at spring training, fans tailgate from early in the
morning and hold up signs saying which
George Morneau loved this, too. He walked and talked to the crowd until he ran into Jake Mauer, Joe's father. The two of them shook hands, sat and laughed, ate tailgate food, and talked for hours. As I watched them visit, I realized I was watching two of the happiest guys in the world. Why not! They have great sons who are great athletes, happy, intelligent and they both have great contracts. But I think the dads are the real M & M boys!

Over the last several months, I've been reflecting on why some students, often in very difficult circumstances, seem to be able to persevere through challenges while others cannot.
As the principal of Student Success, my work is focused on supporting students who, for a number of different reasons, are struggling to make progress towards the requirements of the secondary school diploma. In this role, I see students who successfully overcome really challenging circumstances as well as those who seem to give up when they meet any kind of barrier to their success.
So, I started to look at the research and determined that what I am observing in those who overcome challenges and persevere is resilience and/or grit.
What is resilience?
Resiliency is:
- the capacity to adapt to the challenges of life
- not a magical trait that a few special kids have. Rather it is "ordinary magic" that is part of healthy development
Definition from: Hurlington, K. (2010). Bolstering Resilience in Students: Teachers as Protective Factors. What Works? Research into Practice, Volume (25), pp.1.
What is grit?
Grit is:
- passion and perseverance for very long term goals
- having stamina
- sticking with your future, day in and day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years
- working really hard to make one's desired future a reality
- living life like it is a marathon not a sprint
Definition from: www.ted.com/talks/angela_lee_duckworth_the_key_to_success_grit.html
Why is it important for all young people to be resilient and/or "gritty"?
Navigating the complex employment landscape, today and in the future, is going to require both resilience and grit. The definition of "career" has evolved; one no longer enters a career, instead one must be focused on career/skill development and goal setting related to one's desired future over the long term. Holding one job for all, or most, of one's working life is now the exception rather than the rule. In fact, the average person changes jobs 10 to 15 times (with an average of 11 job changes) during his or her career (Doyle, 2013), which means a lot of time is spent adapting to the challenges of changing employment.
Doyle, A. (n.d.). Citing Websites. In How Often Do People Change Jobs? Retrieved December 3, 2013, from http://jobsearch.about.com/od/employmentinformation/f/change-jobs.htm.
So, how will we prepare today's students for this new reality? How do we foster resilience and grit?
Five strategies that foster resilience @ school and @ home
|Tips for educators
|Tips for parents
|Make connections/Create positive supportive relationships
|Help your student/child by helping others
|Set reasonable, attainable goals
|Nurture positive self -view
|Accept change is part of living
After doing the research, I was so glad to discover that, like the definition of resilience says, these are not magical traits – they can be taught and learned. There are actual concrete strategies that both educators and parents can do to develop these critical traits for success in their students/children.
In fact, the upcoming student Equity in Action Symposium (February 25, 2014, at Georgian College) has a "resiliency" theme. We are in the process of developing workshops for both students and teachers that focus on how to develop resiliency. (For information on last year's symposium, click here).
We are also looking forward to hearing from two keynote speakers:
- Dr. Michael Ungar, the Network Director of the Children and Youth in Challenging Contexts Network and founder and Co-Director of the Resilience Research Centre that coordinates more than five million dollars in funded research in a dozen countries. That research is focused on resilience among children, youth and families and how they together survive adversity in culturally diverse ways.
- Wab Kinew, the Director of Indigenous Inclusion at the University of Winnipeg. In 2012, he hosted the acclaimed CBC Television series "8th Fire".
More details about the student symposium will be posted on www.scdsb.on.ca in February. For details about Equity and Inclusive Education at the SCDSB, click here.

My Horses Art is a unique spot on the web; it's for people looking for original horse related arts and gifts, but it's also a safe place for our daughters (especially beginner riders or girls who don't ride) to share their love of horses.
My Horses Art is a partnership between Erin, my daughter and me. I inherited my love of horses from my mother, who rode all the years I was growing up. I spent my pre-teen and teenage years at the stables where I kept my horse, and though that was many years ago, the love of horses has never left (it doesn't, does it?). I was delighted when my daughter fell in love with horses so now I get to share this joy with her….and my mom! My sister and her daughter also spent years at the stables together where they live in Norway. Mother-Daughter-Horse combos exist everywhere!
We own a cute little red hair mare named Thea.
As we start on our fifth year, we are really excited about our painting parties, which are super fun! We've had people of all ages paint and come back with their friends! If you're in the area, we'd love to have you come and paint with us- we provide the canvas, paints, and guidance to help you paint a beautiful horse portrait..and if you have a photo of your own horse, we can help you paint your own horse!

We've found people either absolutely love beets or don't like them one bit. If you're one of the later, consider roasting them as beet chips, it's an easy way to baby-step into an affinity for these sweet roots. This recipe for beet chips is from NPR. You can't go wrong with this combination of sweet, salt and crunch.
Beet Chips
- 2 medium beets of your choice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. For easy cleanup, line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place beets in a large bowl and, using your hands, toss with oil and seasonings until coated. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until crisp. Remove from oven and eat.
Beet Burger One of our most favorite restaurants, The Tree House Cafe, used to make grilled beet burgers with a garlic chili aioli sauce and heaped with fresh, crunchy greens and sprouts. Roasting beets is such a treat, but it's a shame to turn the oven on during the hot days of summer – so put them on the grill instead! I've hunted online for a similar beet burger recipe and found this one – looks delicious: Beetroot and Feta burger.
Gazborscht An amazing cold beet soup. If you want to add a little heat, throw in a seeded jalapeno or two. For maximum refreshment, take some time to prepare this ahead of time as it will need some time to chill. This recipe has been modified from Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook, by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.
- 3 cups beets, peeled and shredded
- 5 cups water
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cucumber, chopped coarsely
- 3 medium tomatoes, chopped coarsely
- 1 small onion, chopped coarsely
- 1 big slice of good white bread (ciabatta or french loaf)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (juice from 2 lemons)
- 1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 avocado, sliced when ready to serve, for garnish
Place the shredded beets in a soup pot and add the water, tomato paste, and salt. Partially cover the pot, leaving a little room for steam to escape. Bring the water to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes; the shredded beets should be tender but have a little crunch. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, place 1/2 the cucumber, half the tomatoes, and half the onion. Add 1 cup of the cooled beets and their liquid, and the bread, olive oil, and lemon juice. Process for about 15 seconds; the mixture should be chunky but you shouldn't be able to detect the bread. Add the rest of the cucumber, tomato, and onion, plus the cilantro, to the processor. Pulse about ten times so that the soup is still chunky. Add this mixture to the rest of the cooled beets. Add freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. Pour into a container, cover, and shill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve. Garnish each bowl with thin slices of avocado.
Beet Salad in Raspberry Vinaigrette This salad uses both beets and their greens, so use young beets that have fresh, crisp greens. The recipe calls for raspberry vinegar, but this can very easily be substituted for with orange juice. Adapted from our very well-worn copy of The New Vegetarian Epicure by Anna Thomas.
- 1 bunch of young beets
- 6-8 whole cloves of garlic
- 3-4 cups sliced beet greens
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbs honey
- 3 Tbs raspberry vinegar
- ¼ c finely chopped scallion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garnish: ½ cup of Roquefort cheese or feta cheese
Cut the greens off the beets, leaving about ½ inch of stem, reserve the greens and scrub the beets well. Arrange the damp beets close together on a sheet of aluminum foil and scatter 6-8 unpeeled garlic cloves over them. Wrap the beets in the foil, folding over and crimping the edges to make a tight seal. Bake the beets in the foil packet in a 400 deg oven for about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, wash the beet greens, discard those that look anything less than fresh and lovely, and cut off the stems. Slice the greens in ½ inch strips.
Heat the olive oil in a well-oiled cast iron or non-stick sauté pan, add the minced garlic, stir for ½ minute, then add the sliced beet greens and a sprinkle of salt. Toss over a medium flame until the green are completely wilted and sizzling in the pan, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and raspberry vinegar. Drizzle 2 Tbs of this mixture over the beet greens in the warm pan and toss to combine thoroughly.
When the beets are cool enough to handle, cut them into slices or chunks. Squeeze out the soft garlic, mash it with a fork, and whisk it into the remaining vinegar-honey mixture. Pour this over the beets in a bowl, and add chopped scallions, salt and pepper to taste, and the sautéed greens. Mix everything together well.
Serve the salad warm or at room temperature, alone or on a bed of salad greens. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of crumbled cheese.
Much like chard or collard greens, beet leaves are a great braising green. Beet greens, sauteed with garlic
- 2-3 Tbs olive oil
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- a bunch of whole beet greens
- salt and pepper, to taste
Heat olive oil in a skillet, low-med heat, add minced garlic. When garlic starts smelling amazing, add beet greens. Heat greens until they are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy with eggs, on a sandwich, or by themselves. So good!
Kale and Beet Green Pesto
- 6-8 cups greens (or beet green/kale combo in any proportion)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1-2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup shredded parmeasan cheese
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
Blanch the greens – Half fill stockpot with water, cover, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, fill large bowl with ice water for blanching. Clean beet greens well and remove stems. One bunch of beets will yield 3-4 cups of greens. Add enough kale leaves (also cleaned and with stems removed) to make 8 cups of greens. When water is boiling, add greens and stir. Cook for two minutes, then scoop greens from boiling water with a large slotted spoon and plunge into ice water (If you are in the process of making dinner, add pasta to the water that is already boiling and set timer).
Swirl greens around in ice water to cool. Drain and gently squeeze out excess water. Roughly chop greens. Add greens, oil, garlic, sunflower seeds, parmesan and lemon juice to food processor (or use immersion blender) and process until uniform and smooth—you still want tiny bits of the greens, not a puree. Taste and add salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice if needed. The recipe makes about 1.5 cups. Use about 2 tablespoons of pesto per serving for pasta.
Storage tip: Leaving the top on root vegetables draws moisture from the root, causing them to lose flavor and firmness. Keep beets firm by cutting the tops off. Store beet greens separately, in a bag in the crisper drawer. Wash beets and keep in an open container with a wet towel on top.
And if you're looking for more reasons to love beets, read Tom Robbins' Jitterbug Perfume.
Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all. –Harriet Van Horne

"I love you, Andrea," Clinton laughed as Mitchell aggressively jockeyed for another question. "You are indefatigable. You're my kind of woman. I tell you what."
Clinton interrupted her staff who were trying to end the press conference.
"Go ahead. I mean the sympathy vote, the whole thing. I love it," she said grinning.

OCT 2nd, 2000: SUEDEER IS STABLE
Susan's back home after major surgery to remove a massive amount of
scar tissue (technically, endometriosis). So Sue's going to be taking
it lightly for a while, doing comic strips while she further recovers.
The full story is on her website, Doemain
of Our Own (with a new domain, too, I may add.)

SEPT 21st, 2000: Do you really like
this strip? I do have a forum
you know, so you can speak
your mind. I am considering the concept of micropayments, say, sending
me a nickle or a dime if you like the strip or not. If you want to give
me a dime, post up on the forum saying "I wanna send RedWolf a
dime!!!" <TT> </TT>

SEPT 16th, 2000: SUEDEER IS DOWN! Susan
Parkin (Doemain of our
Own) has fallen ill and gone under emergency surgery to remove her
appendix. If you know her, or her strip, please sign her
get well card.

AUG 24th, 2000: CALL ME UNCLE REDWOLF.
My sister gave birth to Mary Katherine Walker, a happy
healthy baby girl. Alas, I'm the only uncle... UPDATE:  No photos
of Mary Kate, alas. Sis wants only the family to share the moment.

AUG 20th, 2000: All done... or is it?
We should have all of the site changed nicely over, with
a few other peices to go up a bit later. Meanwhile, the first year of
Stalag '99 is comming to a close. That means one thing: A STALAG
'99 BOOK!!! But no publishers at this time. Fear not, it won't be
out yet. I want to get at least past New Years 2001 before getting the
book together. I may have to digitally publish it, who knows?

JULY 21st, 2000: Probing the beast...
Simply put, I'm probing KeenSpace a bit to see how the auxiliarry pages
will be put up. Please bare with us as we experiment with things...

JULY 7th, 2000: Welcome to the new
site! I'm happier than Eric Blumrich at Anthrocon '99, since
now Stalag '99 is on KeenSpace. So while you still be getting you weekly
dose of live insanity, you'll have the banner ads above that will help
keep KeenSpace alive. Oh, that, and I don't need to do such a heavy-handed
update each time. I can just concentrate on the strips! More features
to come, but welcome aboard.

Mexico, our neighbor to the South, is not very fond of us. Of the nearly 100 million inhabitants, I would reckon almost all would like nothing more than to whip us in the approaching World Cup Qualifier in Columbus. The ill feelings are mutual, I assure you, but I have to admit Mexico, despite its problems, does have an extremely rich cultural history.
Though Mexico did not become an independent nation until the early 1800s, it's history goes back tens of thousands of years. By the sixteenth century, the Aztecs and Mayans had set up some advanced civilizations. The Spaniards liked the land and its bounty though, so they raped and pillaged the inhabitants and set up a new state with the name New Spain.
For nearly 300 years, Spain would control Mexico. But, the Mexicans would eventually shirk the Spanish in a long, bloody war and would finally be free to set up their own shop by 1821. The original country included modern day Texas, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming, as well as most of modern day Central America.
Texas would eventually best Santa Anna, and after the Lone Star State was annexed by the US, a long feud would begin between the two countries. Via everyone's favorite way to settle international disputes (war), the US would eventually take almost 1/3rd of Mexico's total land area. Nowadays, there is much controversy in the US about Mexicans illegally entering America to work, which they have done in the tens of millions.
Despite the exodus, Mexico still features the third most inhabited city in the world, Mexico City, where the Estadio Azteca is located. The Mexican National Team plays their home games in Azteca's thin air. The team has made it to 13 World Cups, though they have never advanced past the quarterfinals. They have dominated the CONCACAF region though, winning seven Gold Cups, and they finished first at the 1999 Confederations Cup.
Their current squad is dangerous too, with many stars plying their trade in the world's best leagues. Their strong side features Guillermo Ochoa (America), Rafael Marquez (Barcelona), and rising star Giovani dos Santos (Tottenham). Swedish manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has coached many of the world's greatest professional and national teams, and he plans to have El Tri ready to compete come 2010.
The upcoming match with the Mexicans should be entertaining, and I certainly hope it does not get too brutal, which it tends to do between these two teams. Mexico leads the all-time series 30-15 with only 10 draws. They have never lost to the US in Mexico, boasting a 23 game unbeaten streak.
Lately though, the US has made huge strides and Mexico has not beaten the Yanks on US soil this century. Moreover, in the lone World Cup Final match played between the two teams (a Round of 16 battle royale in 2002), the US bested the Mexicans 2-0. I hope we beat our rival again on February 11, 2009 in Columbus, but we need to be careful. They are still the region's best team all-time, and we must keep improving in order to perhaps someday steal that title.

A memorial trust fund with seed money of Gh¢500,000 has been set up by the government in the memory of the slain soldier, Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama, who was on Monday promoted to the rank of Major posthumously.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who announced the setting up of the trust fund also donated Gh¢50,000 from his personal resources to the fund.
"At cabinet we agreed that the government will provide some seed money for the trust fund. The board of trustees is going to be chaired by the Minister for Defence, Dominic Nitiwul."
"Both sides of Parliament are going to be represented on the board. The chairman of the Select Committee on Defence, Seth Acheampong who is also MP for Mpraeso. The ranking member from the Minority side, James Agalga has also agreed to serve on the board of trustees," President Akufo-Addo said.
Other members of the board are the Tumu chief and Dr Grace Bediako, former Government Statistician.
"All of these [people] when I asked them today, they were honoured and felt the least they could do was to agree to serve on the board of trustees of the memorial trust fund."
He added, "Government has decided to give Gh¢500,000 as seed money for you [wife] and the children. I myself has given a modest amount of Gh¢50,000 as my personal contribution.
"These are some of the things that are within my authority and powers to do and we are doing it because we want to express to you, our solidarity with you and your children and your family."
"I am not a vindictive man and I'm not gonna say whatever, whatever, but all those who did what they did to him, they will face justice and God."
President Akufo-Addo said: "everything that we can do will never fill the gap but it will be a demonstration of how the Ghanaian people feel about what has happened to him."
"It has been difficult for me to find time to come and see you. I felt very sorry about what has happened to your hushand, all of Ghana is upset by what has happened," the President said.
Major Maxwell Adam Mahama was lynched last week Monday by a mob at Denkyira Obuasi in the Central Region on suspicion he was an armed robber whilst going for a job.
A total of 44 suspects have since been arrested in connection with the gruesome killing, Superintendent Cephas Arthur, Director of Police Public Affairs has said.
He said investigations were on-going and that the police suspects more people connected to the incident and are culpable are still out there.
Meanwhile 34 of the suspects were on Monday evening remanded into police custody by the Accra Central District Court, reports Graphic Online's Emmanuel Ebo Hawkson.
Last Thursday, seven suspects were remanded by the Cape Coast District Court.

St. Louis, Missouri (PRWEB) January 02, 2014
By providing information such as how to write an effective CV, as well as other information that will help candidates, Enterprise Medical Services helps physicians secure the positions they desire.
The recent focus on preparation and general education displayed by Enterprise Medical Services shows a shift from the operating procedures displayed by competitors. Competitors of Enterprise Medical Services within the physician recruiting service are typically interested in simply placing physicians in positions and moving on. The investment by Enterprise Medical Services into the future of candidates is a feature that attracts a higher caliber of prospective doctors who are looking for top positions throughout the industry. By providing simple and effective information to physicians, Enterprise Medical Services greatly increases the chances that doctors have to qualify for the positions they desire. Continuing to connect more physicians with prominent jobs at some of the country's top rated hospitals, Enterprise Medical Services is growing their network of physician candidates.
Some of the tips, which have been provided in order to write a better medical CV , are intuitive but often overlooked by prospective physicians. Tailoring the CV to a specific position instead of creating a general template for use can increase a physician's chances of being accepted for a specific position to which they have applied. Creating a CV that is properly formatted and proofread can be the determining factor when an employer selects which physicians will be brought for an interview. Applicants only get one shot when turning in a CV and every detail is important.
About Enterprise Medical Services: Since 1990, Enterprise Medical Services, a leading physician, executive and advanced practice provider recruiting and consulting firm, has been connecting the most progressive hospitals, clinics and medical groups with the most qualified career-minded candidates.

Hulk #19
- Story by
- Jeph Loeb
- Art by
- Ed McGuinness and Mark Farmer
- Colors by
- Dave Stewart
- Letters by
- Richard Starkings
- Cover by
- Ed McGuinness
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
When this series was launched, its charm — its stupid, ridiculously, bombastically fun charm — came mostly from the pencil work of Ed McGuinness and the inking of Dexter Vines. Without their bold visuals, Jeph Loeb's story of mayhem and mystery would have been yet another silly superhero showdown without much substance. After all, the mystery of the Red Hulk's identity wasn't enough to drive the narrative. It was just a tease. The real momentum was gained from seeing what insanity McGuinness and Vines would slap on the next page.
That's most of the pleasure in "Hulk" #19 as well, and it's great to see McGuinness back on the series after his brief absence. Dexter Vines isn't around this time with his thick, inky brush, but Mark Farmer is about as good as you can get without being Dexter Vines, and the long-time Alan Davis collaborator does some nice work on McGuinness' pencils, particularly in making each rocky scale of the Thing's hide seem to have depth and texture.
Yes, the Thing is here, along with the rest of the Fantastic Four, the Red Hulk, Bruce Banner, M.O.D.O.K., the Wizard, Klaw, and I could go on for another two dozen words, listing the cast of characters in this "Fall of the Hulks" tie-in. Since I haven't read any of the other "Fall of the Hulks" comics yet, I don't know what the uber-story actually is, other than what we're told in the opening text page (which, like the interior pages, is short on words, but long on action), and I don't really need to know.
"Hulk" #19 is not a self-contained story, certainly, but as a dose of superhero fun, it's pretty good. It has some nonsensical moments — the Thing punches the Red Hulk just because he used to punch the Green Hulk whenever they met up? And if the Red Hulk just needs to absorb the Negative Zone energy, why go through the trouble of putting the Thing in harm's way? — but those are easily overlooked because they allow McGuinness and Farmer to show off some of their best stuff. It's a big, dumb, fun superhero comic, and big, dumb, fun images need to accompany the story.
In the larger "Fall of the Hulks" context, this story might have some deeper meaning, and the ominous words between the characters might have more relevance, but as a single issue, it's pure spectacle. In a good way.

美国语文第五册 第208期:考试(04)
That, sir, is the true philosophy of the case, you may depend upon it. 先生,这就是此事的真正原因,你当然可以相信。 But we will now drop the discussion of these matters; 不过,此刻我们还是别再继续讨论这一话题, for I am abundantly satisfied that you have not only knowledge enough, but that you can think for yourself. 因为我对你的解释已经相当满意。你不仅具有丰富的知识,更拥有独立思考的能力。 And now, sir, all I wish to know further about you is, whether you can teach others to think, which is half the battle with a teacher. 好了,先生,我希望进一步了解的是,你是否有能力教会他人思考,那是教师职业的另一半基本功。 But as I have had an eye on this point, while attending to the others, 至于如何关注受教育者,我一直对此进行研究, probably one experiment, which I will ask you to make on one of the boys here, will be all I shall want. 因此,是否我可以要求你能与孩子互动,不妨做次实验证明。 "Proceed, sir," said the other. "好吧,朋友。"洛克回答。 "Ay, sir," rejoined Bunker, turning to the open fireplace, in which the burning wood was sending up a column of smoke, "很好,先生,"邦克接着说,转身走向房间内打开的壁炉,火炉里的燃烧木块冒出一柱浓烟, there, you see that smoke rising, don't you? 你看见升起的浓烟吗? Well, you and I know the, reason why smoke goes upward, but my youngest boy does not, I think. 你我两人都清楚烟为什么上升,但我觉得,我的最小的孩子不会明白, Now take your own way, and see if you can make him understand it. 不妨采用你自己的方式,看看能否让他弄清来龙去脉。 Locke, after a moment's reflection, and a glance round the room for something to serve for apparatus, 沉思片刻,环顾房间四周想找点东西帮助解释, took from a shelf, where he had espied a number of articles, the smallest of a set of cast-iron cart boxes, 洛克突然瞥见架子上有套工具,那是一套小型铸铁手推车工具套, as are usually termed the round hollow tubes in which the axletree of a carriage turns. 通常称作的圆形空心管,车轮轮轴可置入进行转动。 Then selecting a tin cup that would just take in the box, and turning into the cup as much water as he judged, with the box, would fill it, 洛克将其取下,再挑选一个锌制杯,锌杯大小恰好可将那件工具套放入,然后小心地将铸铁工具套能装的相同容积的水注入锌制杯内, he presented them separately to the boy, and said, "There, my lad, tell me which of these is the heavier." 再拿过铸铁工具套,分别递给孩子后询问,"好了,孩子,请告诉我,哪一个杯子更重?" 来自:VOA英语网 文章地址: http://www.tingvoa.com/html/20180211/536023.html

Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company in ICE Krakow on November 5th!
We are sorry to announce that the concert of the Bieriozka Moscow Ballet company planned for 5th November 2017 has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond the control of ICE Krakow and the organiser. The concert has been replaced by a performance of the world famous 'Virsky' Ukrainian National Dance Company.
The VIRSKY UKRAINIAN NATIONAL DANCE COMPANY originated in 1937, when two magnificent dancers: Pavlo Virsky and Mykola Bolotov founded the first ever Ukrainian folk dance ensemble. The ensemble developed quickly to become world famous. Stunning choreography of folk dances embraced the traditions and the beauty of Ukraine and depicted them in an extraordinary and unique way. By linking folklore to acrobatics and classical dance, the ensemble has enjoyed world-wide recognition and glory in the form of numerous distinctions, diplomas, awards and credits. The Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company has performed in more than 70 countries across all continents. Each performance is a fountain of joy, artistic expression and exuberance, sense of humour and reflection, always performed at the highest level, unequalled in quality. World press reviews of their shows are usually brief and full of superlatives: 'MASTERPIECE' , 'EXTRAORDINARY', 'SENSATIONAL'. Their regular concert programme comprises magnificent, unequalled choreography of folk dances: Hopak, My z Ukraine, Sestry, Lalki and many other dances that have always inspired both awe and euphoria among spectators.
Myroslav Vantukh, an extremely charismatic artist, has been the director of the Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company since 1980. Under his leadership, the ensemble has been very successful. In 1991 he founded a ballet school for children under the auspices of the dance company. This has provided the opportunity for a new generation of superb artists to learn from the very best.

July 11 the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and eclipses (hides) the Sun for observers in the South Pacific, including Easter Island and the tip of South America. See this eclipse animation and these maps and information.
This NASA article gives a captivating and informative description of what observers will experience as the Moon blankets the Sun and the day sky turns dark.
Perhaps this may be one of our livelier solar eclipses!
Did You Know?
A total solar eclipse is produced when the New Moon crosses directly in front of the Sun and is close enough to Earth to appear bigger than the Sun; hence, the Moon when viewed from Earth is able to completely cover our central luminary. In 2010 the Sun, furthest from Earth July 6, appears near its smallest size during this eclipse. In addition the Moon, at its closest for 2010 July 13, appears near its largest size.
The Sun's diameter, 400 times larger than the Moon's, is balanced when the Sun is roughly 400 times farther from Earth than the Moon.
BTW: Eclipses tend to come in pairs with solar and lunar complementing each other. The June 26 Full Moon partial lunar eclipse was the first of this eclipse pair. Eclipse Frequency
Reflections ~ Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse is always a supercharged New Moon that marks new beginnings. A new awareness is being offered to us by our shadow self, the dark void, the infinite unknown. "Eclipses dredge the past, wrinkle the present. ... awaken to the clarity of intuition and this wisdom inherent in the Here and Now." Jacqueline Lasahn This eclipse is a personal and global opportunity and challenge to come into a new balance and level of wholeness. How To Deal With Eclipses

This New Moon eclipse is happening during the sign of Cancer (6/21-7/22), when we have the opportunity to build our lighted house.
Reflections ~ The Sirius / Leo New Moon
The Sirius ~ Leo Festival is celebrated at the upcoming Full Moon (7/25) occurring during the Sun sign of Leo (7/22-8/22). This great world Festival and its lunar cycle are dedicated to the task of making contact with the evolutionary forces of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun and brightest star in the heavens. The influences of Sirius are focused and regulated through the star Regulus, the heart of the Lion, found in the constellation Leo. Awareness of the Leo-Sirius connection has a unifying effect on all of humanity and its world religions. During this time soul-infused, focused humanity has the opportunity to align with the greater cosmic energies beyond our solar system.
With every New Moon our soul goes into meditation and aligns with the inspiration of the Nirmanakayas; a potential is enlivened and a seed of consciousness is formed deep within. Take some time to create a sacred space. A new cycle is beginning.
~ New Moon,
The New Moon and Sun embrace in the constellation of the Gemini Twins conjoining the star Wasat north of Procyon in Canis Minor. Review the map above.
It is important to note that Gemini keeps the interplay of energies between dualities active and flowing so that eventually they reach synthesis and unity. The constellation Gemini forms a point of entrance for cosmic energy from Sirius, allowing the Love of Deity (2nd Ray) to pour into our solar system. Culled from Alice Bailey / Esoteric Astrology, pg. 347-349
In the midst of Gemini we find the star Wasat, also known as Delta Gemini. The New Moon solar eclipse conjoins this star north of impressive Procyon.
In Summary
The order of our lives is being challenged with this supercharged New Moon. The infinite unknown is offering humanity a new awareness and the evolutionary forces of Sirius are impressing us. An alignment with the Ancient Archetypes and the greater cosmic energies is possible; these potent earthly energies and heavenly powers are beckoning us. We are moving through a doorway of higher unified consciousness. There is no turning back.
It is written in the heavens. The time has come to harmonize dualities by recognizing we all are of divine lineage, evolving toward our greater destiny.
Each of us has an inner divine twin with whom we can intuitively work in daily creative partnership to bring out the best in all. This co-creation establishes the New Earth. Through humanity all things are possible to Deity.
We are being tugged, pulled and lifted out of a divided darkness into the light of unity consciousness.
As my wordsmith friend writes, GEMinI tWINs!

the Moon grows in the light provided by our Sun,
~ Waxing Crescent Moon,
Overcoming obstacles to the new incoming awareness begins with the waxing Crescent Moon. What was conceived at the New Moon, Out of Divided Darkness ~ Into the Light of Unity Consciousness, (review above) is now in the process of waxing or gestating.
It is interesting to note that there is an 8-week (7/11-9/4) meditation focus, Stepping Up Towards Oneness Consciousness, issued by The Global Meditation Focus Group *.
July 13, Tuesday twilight time, a young Moon joins the parade of planets and the star Regulus. Catch a first glimpse of horizon-hugging Mercury, as it rises out of the Sun's glowing embrace to reappear in the evening sky! You'll need right timing and a clear sky and horizon to spot a slim, low Luna left of the elusive planet. Mercury sets at 9:35pm, the Moon at 9:55pm; use binoculars to easily spot the pair. Approximate set times for the other planets can be found under the map.
Mercury is located at the heart of Cancer and the Moon is located in Leo the Lion's den. We are reminded to build our lighted house (Cancer) intuitively guided by the soul's Higher Law (Leo).
July 14, Wednesday evening, the Crescent Moon forms a triangle with blazing Venus and Regulus in the Lion's Den. You may need binoculars to spot Regulus. Can you see the other parade participants?
Regulus, the Lion-Hearted Lawgiver, focuses and regulates the evolutionary energies of Sirius and the Christ consciousness toward Earth. Venus and the Lawgiver stimulate the quality of love-wisdom within humanity. Open to these liberating emanations that grow the light of the soul. Ponder humanity's divine lineage. Namaste!
July 15, Thursday evening, Luna's waxing Crescent enlivens Mars in the Lion's Den. Here's another view of the Moon and Mars. 7/15-16 9:15pm Map
Imagine fiery passions giving way to enlightening ideas that lift us out of darkness.
July 16, Friday evening, Luna and Saturn march together at the end of the planetary parade. Review map above and this map. How many parade participants can you identify tonight?
Ponder Saturn at the Super Galactic Center. Live from the vital core of your soul rather than from self-importance. Surrender to the greater will of the One Life.

Reflections ~ First Quarter Moon
The First Quarter Moon, exact Sunday, July 18, at 3:11am PDT (10:11 UT) squares the Sun at a 90-degree angle and brings up a tension, as we struggle for fulfillment. Ideally any obstacles impeding the awareness conceived at the New Moon are overcome at this time.
First Quarter Luna activates Spica and stirs the spirit within. Spica, symbolizing the sacred womb of Virgo the Virgin, accepts and nourishes the seed of Arcturus, the savior avatar. Helpful Star Map This seed of divinity resides in Virgo and therefore within humanity.
The energies of Virgo the Virgin nurture and shield humanity's hidden divinity. To understand this is to recognize the fact that each and every one of us is essentially divine. Honoring and calling forth God's light in all, lifts us out of a divided darkness into the light of unity consciousness. Namaste!
July 18, Sunday evening, Luna has grown and is now in her waxing Gibbous phase. She lies east of Spica diagonally aligned with the two brightest stars of Libra the Balance. 7/18 Map
Consider the Libran Way, which uses intuition and compassion to balance the pairs of opposites.

~ Waxing Gibbous Moon, Scorpius,
The waxing Gibbous Moon is more than half lit, moving toward its full sunlit phase. Illumination and growth are offered by this lunar phase, only if the obstacles from the past are cleared away. This must happen, if the energy released with the coming Full Moon is to be utilized.
July 20-22, Tuesday-Thursday, Luna transits the cosmic Scorpion and is near Antares, the red heart star of Scorpius July 21.
When the Moon transits the burning ground of Scorpius, it activates the transformative power within us, the Kundalini Fire of Life. Scorpius is the seat of the coiled serpent power and Antares the serpent itself ready to be enlivened. Opposite Antares in the zodiacal wheel lies Aldebaran, the illuminating eye of Taurus the Bull, the star of enlightenment. Antares wields the Fire of God by its connection to Aldebaran. The Aldebaran / Antares axis is activated by the Moon's presence.
Aldebaran emanates a governing vision for humanity, while Antares keeps the enlightened vision of the people current, ensuring growth, evolution and change. This political balancing act keeps expanding our mortal limits, often through conflict that ultimately brings harmony. Compassion and cooperation ease humanity's transition to Divine Governance and its emergence into the light.
Imagine networks of goodwill and understanding growing and strengthening a sense of unity across the globe, healing our nations.

25 ~ A Day Out of Time!
Reflections ~ The Sirius / Leo Full Moon
Any Full Moon experience can offer us greater illumination of our essential divinity. Issues worked on since the New Moon come to a climax. If the restrictions of the past have been released during the waxing Moon, then the Full Moon can bring fulfillment. If not, the Full Moon might bring serious mental conflicts, possibly affecting the physical body.
The Full Moon is exact July 25 at 6:37pm PDT (01:37 UT 7/26).
What was conceived at the New Moon, Out of Divided Darkness ~ Into the Light of Unity Consciousness, review above now comes to fruition and is birthed into the full light of our conscious minds.
During the Sirius ~ Leo Festival, the Soul Light within us is ever increasingly aware of the spiritual light emanating from Sirius. This great Sirian light is becoming more available, bringing to us a new opportunity, a new path. The Sirius ~ Leo Festival prepares humanity and in turn planet Earth for perfection and ultimate cosmic service, bringing us into contact with the Heart of God.

Reflections ~ The Full Moon's Position
The Full Moon lies at the western end of Capricornus below Aquila the Eagle.It conjoins Altair, the head and brightest star of Aquila. This star is also the southern point of the Summer Triangle. Use this Summer Triangle Map and this 7/25 11:30pm Star Chart for orientation.
The constellation Capricornus opens the doorway to our divine head center and the immortal life of spirit. It carries the seeds of death for the material life and awakens one to a higher spiritual frequency and its potential earthly expression. Capricornus aligns humanity with a new cycle of effort, initiation and service.
Aquila the Eagle, the royal eagle of Jupiter and the great bird of Zeus, is a messenger from heaven, who leads us to immortality by lifting us to the realms of higher mind and intuition. Aquila and its brightest star Altair soar above the Full Moon symbolizing vision and freedom. In flight Aquila is known to carry mighty thunderbolts in his talons. These can shake one to their core, if one resists the divine message. Listen! Co-create with the inner divine one!
Reflections ~ Full Moon's Illumination
The Full Moon during Leo is illuminated by the Sun in the constellation Cancer.
Leo the Lions highest expression is the fully integrated personality ignited by the fire of Divine Will. The self-awareness gained in Leo opens the door to the group service of Aquarius, which stands opposite Leo in the zodiacal wheel.
Cancer offers the opportunity of the "dark light" of matter to be stimulated by the light of the soul.
In Addition ...
The fifth exact opposition of Saturn and Uranus occurs July 26. The first exact opposition was November 4, 2008 (U.S.Election Day). This lengthy and vital planetary interaction brings about major social, religious and cultural transformations. One must find a balance between Saturn's order, discipline, predictability and Uranus' surprising change and original experience.
Note: During the T-Square peak Jupiter is exactly opposite Saturn 8/16 and Saturn is exactly square Pluto 8/21. August's Jupiter Pluto Saturn Crossbow (T-square)
BTW: Mars becomes a trigger for the crossbow 8/3. On this day Mars is exactly opposite Jupiter and both Jupiter and Mars are exactly square Pluto. 8/9 Venus squares Pluto.
Hmmm ... Pluto's "crossbow arrow" of death insures that an end comes to whatever is holding back the soul's expression.
Also ...
July 27, Tuesday at dusk, Mercury and Regulus form the closest pairing of a planet and a bright star in 2010. Map/Text Mercury messenger of the gods is uniting with the star that regulates the energies flowing from our spiritual Sun, Sirius, on the 2nd day of the Galactic New Year! What message do Mercury and Regulus have for you?
In Summary
The order of our lives is being challenged, as we are tugged, pulled and lifted out of a divided darkness into the light of unity consciousness. This lunar cycle finds us integrating the New Moon's earthly Ancient Archetypes of the Easter Island solar eclipse with the cosmic evolutionary forces of the Sirius ~ Leo Full Moon.
Lengthy and vital planetary interactions are creating cracks in our foundation, the ground we stand on. We must lift ourselves to the higher ground of soul and its guiding intuition. It is here that we can receive the new awareness of the infinite unknown. With the light of the soul we see how to bring these new energies into our everyday lives.
The seeds of death for the current material life are activated and we must awaken to a higher spiritual frequency and its potential earthly expression. Now is the time for the "dark light" of matter to be stimulated by a far greater light.
"I am of the Earth. I am of the Heavens. United I am as ONE." Each of us, essentially divine, can intuitively work with our greater spiritual power. By invoking this power in a daily creative partnership we bring out the best in all. This co-creation establishes the New Earth.
It is written in the heavens. The time has come to recognize we all are of divine lineage, evolving toward our greater destiny. During this Full Moon Festival we make contact with the Sirian force, its evolutionary energies and the cosmic principle of Love and Freedom. We are moving through a doorway of higher unified consciousness. There is no turning back. The heavens are pouring forth new life ... drink up!
Happy Galactic New Year!

Jupiter ~ Planetary Treat During Leo
~ Waning Gibbous Moon,
Ideally the waning Gibbous Moon is a time that readies us to manifest anew. It brings illumination to the influences of the entire lunar cycle. If not, dis-ease results.
Luna, Jupiter and Uranus are located in Pisces, the constellation of the World Savior. Review map above.
These celestial energies are reminding us of the Christ consciousness, humanity's essential divinity, the awakened heart and soul. Jupiter is brilliant and illuminating in this celestial position, for it is the brightest light in the morning sky and also in the evening sky after Venus sets. The giant planet is ultimately bound to be light for our world, expanding our hearts and minds. The call to humanitarian service is strong with Jupiter in Pisces. In this location Uranus also sheds its light upon our world by surprisingly shifting humanity into a new reality with new visions, freeing us from the outdated, limited form-life. Jupiter in close proximity to Uranus began its 10-month opposition to Saturn in May 2010.
The fifth exact opposition of Saturn and Uranus occurred a few days ago on July 26. The first exact opposition was November 4, 2008 (U.S.Election Day). This lengthy and vital planetary interaction is bringing about major social, religious and cultural transformations. One must find a balance between Saturn's order, discipline, predictability and Uranus' surprising change and original experience.
The energies of Jupiter and Uranus opposite Saturn also interact with Pluto, the agent of death.
Note: During the T-Square peak Jupiter is exactly opposite Saturn 8/16 and Saturn is exactly square Pluto 8/21. August's Jupiter Pluto Saturn Crossbow (T-square)
BTW: Mars becomes a trigger for the crossbow 8/3. On this day Mars is exactly opposite Jupiter and both Jupiter and Mars are exactly square Pluto. 8/9 Venus squares Pluto.
Hmmm ... Pluto's "crossbow arrow" of death insures that an end comes to whatever is holding back the soul's expression.
When the Light of the World, the World Savior, frees humanity from subservience to the form, the darkness of matter ends forever; the Doorway to Paradise opens and new dimensions of reality are experienced.
As if there wasn't enough going on with Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Pluto, we also have Mars and Venus forming a shifting sunset triangle with Saturn in the constellation Virgo the Virgin, opposite the constellation Pisces the World Savior. Mars and Saturn are at their closest the evening of July 30, when Jupiter and the Moon are at their closest! Learn more about Virgo's sunset triangle and see sky maps.

The Sirius/Leo Lunar Cycle Ends
The waning Crescent Moon brings enlightenment at a deep level. It is a time of conscious growth, clarification of values and the surrender to a new future. The Sirius/Leo lunar cycle is ending.
5am 8/4-6 Map for orientation.
August 4-6, Wednesday-Friday morning, waning Luna transits Taurus the Bull reminding us that transforming our desires into spiritual aspiration lifts us out of divided darkness into the light of unity consciousness.
Elegant Luna shows off the Pleiades August 4 and Aldebaran August 5. This sparkling dipper-shaped star cluster and reddish star are the shoulder and eye of Taurus the Bull respectively. Constellation Image The Pleiades and Aldebaran bring the light of God (universal mind) into our solar system and into our minds. Through these celestial bodies and humanity God's light descends on Earth.
By August 6, morning Luna lies twixt the horns of Taurus, which embody struggles that are age-old and evolutionary. Luna also aligns with Betelgeuse, a star that stimulates the heart center and aids in the service and struggles of those who are spiritually attuned.
August 7, Saturday morning, Sirius reappears briefly in the east just before sunrise.
As the Sirius/Leo lunar cycle ends we continue to deepen and expand humanity's contact with the cosmic forces of Light, Love and Freedom. The heavens are pouring forth these evolutionary energies for a thirsty world. Drink up! Be reborn. Shine on Homo Luminous!

View from...1975
Pat Jennings and Joe Jordan recall the night Spurs beat the great Leeds team of the 1970s to avoid relegation.
Forget the cups, the glory, glory European nights and the personal accolades, when asked about the most important match of Pat Jennings' great career, the legendary goalkeeper goes back to 1975 and the night Spurs avoided relegation by beating the great Leeds United at the Lane.
An official crowd of 49,886 raised the roof at the Lane and helped inspire their struggling team to overcome reigning champions Leeds United 4-2 on Monday, April 28, 1975 and therefore beat the dreaded drop.
Cyril Knowles was the inspiration with two goals with Alfie Conn - who famously sat on the ball during the match - and Martin Chivers also on target.
Leeds were soon to play in the European Cup Final but still included all the names - Cherry, Madeley, Hunter, Lorimer, Bremner, Frank and Eddie Gray and their goalscorers that night included a certain Joe Jordan, now our first-team coach.
As we prepare to face Leeds at the Lane again this time in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday, Joe joined Pat in turning the clock back 35 years and recalling that great escape.
"I've described this result as being better than any of our cup wins," said Pat. "That was how important it was for me, because I didn't want to be part of a team that took the great Tottenham Hotspur down.
"We were struggling that season and quite simply if we lost, we were relegated."
"As Pat will tell you, Leeds United didn't play 'just another game' at that time," said Joe. "It was significant for us because we knew the consequences were so severe if Tottenham lost.
"We went into it the same way but on the night, we were just beaten by the better team.
"It was a traumatic season for us, the season Brian Clough was in charge (for 44 days) and we had a horrendous start. Jimmy Armfield came in and steadied the ship and we had some great victories in Europe, but not the same consistency in the league. There was a lot of upheaval at the club and it was the first season in many years that we'd finished outside the top four."
Pat added: "In a way we were lucky because Leeds were going into the European Cup Final the week after and like Joe said, they'd had their upheavals.
"But they were still reigning champions and still a great side. When we looked at the team that night it was still Bremner, Hunter, Lorimer, Gray, Joe...and we needed to beat them to stay up! That's why I go so much satisfaction out of the result."
The full, four-page special on 1975 with Pat and Joe is in this Saturday's official matchday programme against Leeds.
