Bernard Herrmann – The .44 Magnum Is a Monster (Taxi Driver: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
"It wasn't easy getting Bernard Herrmann to compose the music for Taxi Driver. He was a marvelous, but crotchety old man. I remember the first time I called him to do the picture. He said it was impossible, he was very busy, and then asked what it was called. I told him and he said, 'Oh, no, that's not my kind of picture title. No, no, no.'
I said, 'Well, maybe we can meet and talk about it.' He said, 'No, I can't. What's it about?' So I described it and he said, 'No, no, no. I can't. Who's in it?' So I told him and he said, 'No, no, no. Well, I guess we can have a quick talk.'
Working with him was so satisfying that when he died, the night he had finished the score, on Christmas Eve in Los Angeles, I said there was no one who could come near him. You get to know what you like if you see enough films, and I thought his music would create the perfect atmosphere for Taxi Driver."
-Martin Scorsese, Scorsese on Scorsese (1989)

The Kia Borrego is a luxury SUV that was manufactured from 2008 to 2011 by South Korean carmaker, Kia Motors. The vehicle debuted as the Kia Mohave in Korea and the Kia Borrego in the U.S. in 2008. The name Borrego derives from the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California and refers to the big-horned sheep that live in the park.
Peter Schreyer, former Chief Automotive Designer of Audi, designed the Kia Borrego. The concept car made its debut in the North American International Auto Show in 2005 as the Kia Mesa. The production car in Korea, the Kia Mohave, went on sale a little before the Kia Borrego debuted in the United States. Sales fell way below expectations in 2009, which led to the termination of the 2010 model year Kia Borrego. During this one-year hiatus, Kia Motors kept quiet and did not talk about its cancellation or return. As 2010 came to a close, the company removed the Kia Borrego from its list of production models and also began advertising the Kia Sorento as its replacement. This cancellation only applied to the U.S., and the Kia Borrego continued to sell in the Canadian market. As a result, the 2010 and 2011 models of the car have Canada-only nameplates.
Kia officially discontinued the Borrego and replaced it with the Sorento on October 28, 2011.
During its short life, the Kia Borrego was known as a traditional SUV. The price of the vehicle remains quite low, considering that it's a luxury SUV and still offers some modern cabin technology. The Kia Borrego does not disappoint when it comes to the exterior either. Its strong lines and aggressive stance give the car a rugged look. The four-wheel drive that comes with the Kia Borrego makes the SUV quite capable offroad. The entertainment system and fuel economy are mediocre. The V-6 engine that powers the Kia Borrego got a poor response. The navigation system moves slow as well, and the car's shortcomings led the Borrego to a mediocre reputation. Although the model sold from 2009 to 2011 in other countries, the U.S. just saw one model year of the Kia Borrego, and nobody seemed to notice when it disappeared.
The 2009 Kia Borrego marks the only model year for the vehicle in the U.S. market. The Borrego saw barely any changes, even outside the U.S., during the two years of its existence. As a result, the Kia Borrego remains the same even to this day. At first impression, this vehicle looks more like a truck, while other manufacturers try to move from a truck-based SUV to a crossover body style. As a result, the Borrego remains the odd one of the group. The car features low-range gearing, a V-8 engine, and a four-wheel-drive system. Customers receive all three features poorly, even though they are necessary to get a reasonable performance out of the vehicle.
The Kia Borrego comes with an optional package to make it work reasonably well offroad. The package also improves the towing capacity of the SUV. As a result, customer hopes ran high for this vehicle. However, bad release timing and the choice of pushing certain necessities as costly optional features brought the Kia Borrego to a grinding halt right after the first model year.
Even though the features, price, and quality of the vehicle are attractive enough, its ownership costs fail to impress many. Spare parts are understandably hard to find because the Borrego only sold for a year. As a result, the SUV cannot be deemed a long-term vehicle.
The Kia Borrego comes in two different trim levels, the LX and EX. Both trims debuted with the Borrego itself. The SUV can contain one of two engines: a 3.8-liter V-6 engine that delivers 276 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, or a 4.6-liter V-8 engine that has a maximum power of 337 hp and a maximum torque of 323 lb-ft. The V-6 engine pairs with a five-speed automatic transmission, while the V-8 couples with a six-speed automatic transmission gearbox.
In spite of its short life, the Kia Borrego does have some positives. For example, the car remains impressively stable thanks in part to its low-body stance and wide wheelbase. These aspects of the vehicle design allow the center of gravity to be focused low on the ground, which makes the Kia Borrego capable of making turns that other SUVs fail to manage as easily.
2009 Kia Borrego
SUV, Utility/Offroad
In 2008, Kia introduced a new midsize sport utility vehicle (SUV) to its lineup for the 2009 model year.

I don't know why this made me laugh–but some how I thought My Little Pony was silly enough (yes, yes, enjoyed by millions, but still there's something about the never-ending pink rococo plastic fantasy settings that always gets me thinking about archeological digs centuries from now..and what they'll think about such design and the civilization that played with them.) Click here to watch our video.
My Little Pony has now become a merpony…no kidding. So now the merponies have there own new underwater castle. From the press release, you'll see why this was the next obvious evolution for My Little Pony:
Located in the heart of the sea, this magical castle is an underwater dream come true for the MERMAID PONIES. Each pony will love to explore this nautical treasure with lights and sounds . Discover PINKIE PIE'S secret shell bedroom that really opens and closes or take a pony for a ride on the "magical" seashells that allow her to "swim" around the castle. The MERMAID ponies will love to "splish and splash" on the waterslide or hang ten on the "real" waves with the tubular surf boards.
The Castle will retail for $39.99 and be available next Fall.

Donate Deer to Sportsmen Against Hunger
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is reminding deer hunters to keep in mind the Sportsmen Against Hunger program this fall.
While this year's deer proclamation allows only one deer gun license per hunter, families with more than one license might want to consider donating a deer to this worthy cause. In addition, hunters with an archery and muzzleloader license can help as well.
SAH is a charitable program that raises money for processing of donated deer, and coordinates distribution of ground venison to food pantries in North Dakota. It is administered by the North Dakota Community Action Partnership, a nonprofit agency that serves low-income families across the state.
A current statewide list of participating SAH venison donation processing sites is available by accessing the NDCAP website, capnd.org/sahprogram/.

Redwood City teacher found in ravine died of natural causes, county coroner says
A Redwood City man found dead in a ravine near Crystal Springs Reservoir last month died of natural causes, according to the San Mateo County Coroner's Office.
Christopher Ryan, 54, was an English and social science teacher at James Logan High School in Union City. His family reported him missing on the morning of Oct. 10, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office. A deputy found Ryan's black Acura sedan later that night in a parking area off Interstate 280 and Highway 92 and a search and rescue team found his body the next day in a nearby ravine, according to the sheriff's office.
Ryan died of natural causes related to heart disease, Supervising Deputy Coroner Michelle Rippy said Tuesday. Toxicology tests revealed no evidence of drugs or alcohol and Ryan's body showed no traumatic injuries that would indicate a fall, injury or involvement by another person, Rippy said.
The spot where Ryan was found "is the type of area you can go and walk around," Detective Rebecca Rosenblatt said.

Rainbow heart decor
Carousel Kids
Nowadays, so many animals are in danger and it's really nice that we, human, still cares about them and make sure that they will be here with us for a long long time.
Brand New Blog Look
Yesterday I spent the whole evening to update this blog look. Since I am not a tech person, doing this is a brand new adventure to me. Luckily I have this program to help me. I learnt this program from Linda, an etsian. I was skeptical at first, didn't know where to start. However, this program gave it all. It's easy to use, and I didn't even read the instructions before I started. To me, mother of two little kids, reading instructions quietly is impossible. I was glad I kinda finished everything by midnight. Yes, in between of course I got to cook and took care of the kids, but afterall, I was happy to learn a new program that would enhance the professional looking of my blog. This satisfied customer gave this program a thumbs up.
Birthday Present from Agnes
Yesterday I got a very lovely present from my girl friend, Agnes. She sent me this Starbucks thermos travel cup which I really like. I have been trying to lose weight for the last few weeks and this time is for real.
Today morning I stepped on the scale and I lost 10 lbs, my heart and mouth said "yoohoo" at the same time. I haven't been able to lose weight since I gave birth to my second child. I tried to lose weight, but with the stress and busy life, I gave up totally. 3 weeks ago I went to my personal doctor because of the headache I have been having for last 2 years, and my blood pressure was all time high, she ordered me to on diet and lose weight and took the high blood pressure medicine all at once. I was like "uh ho".
In the last 2 weeks, I was trying to take it easy in everything, especially eating, stop myself eating junk food whenever I feel very stressful. It helped a lot. I was hungry at first, then I just trying to drink more tea, or at lunch and dinner I would try to eat more rice and less meat. Finally it did work, and I was so glad.
Now talking about the thermos, in the past I drank 3 cups of coffee each day to keep me running, now I only have a cup, so that cup has to be lasting for a while. By putting my cup of coffee in a thermos cup, I was able to drink it in 2 hours, instead of finishing 1 cup in 15 mins and then went ahead and get a 2nd cup, I have this 1 cup of coffee for 2 hours. It totally helped me to lose weigh, cut down the sugar and milk.
Agnes, a true sweet heart, she heard me that I needed a thermo cup, she bought me another one for my birthday present, and now I can do the exact same thing when I am driving. Indeed, she has been a very lovely friend to have. Thank you Agnes!! (biggggggg huggggggssssssss for my girlfriend).
A small blue owl and how to choose safety eyes
When I crochet amigurumi, I love different colors, the bolder the better.
This time I used a bright blue color as the body and the other parts I used orange, hot pink and white.
The safety eyes I used 18mm translucent blue. The blackground stitches are white in color, so it didn't affect the translucent blue eyes one bit.
Sometimes when we chose safety eyes for a critter, you don't really need to think what size of eye fits what size of a critter. I suggest to get different sizes of eyes. A new amigurumi crocheter I suggested to use from 9mm to 18mm, black eyes first, then once you get a hold of it, then you can focus with trying different colors.
I know sometimes you will afraid like "Geez.. What am I going to do with neon yellow, neon green? " . Tell you the truth, there is no boundaries with the choices. I always use colors that always clash to each other. For example, orange with green yarns, yellow with bright blue, or even pink with black or brown. Since critters are naturally cute, there is no wrong by using different colors together.
So I say " Build up your confidence and try the bright color yarns, eyes and noses "

5 1/2 hours throw

This pattern is from Lion Brand website. A year ago when I first purchased this brown sofa, I thought I got to have something with lighter color. So I thought having a throw was just right. I was very happy it turned out ok, it's very comfy and warm. In winter time it's a must have! I crocheted it more than 5 1/2 hours of course, but it's worth it! :)

Crochet Cowl for myself =) Donut around my neck! haha
Crochet Cowl for myself =) Donut around my neck! haha, a photo by 6060eyes on Flickr.
I found this pattern through ravelry.com at first, and the original designer's picture is just too attractive that I just have to try to make this.
After I finished and tried it all, I think the yarn and the all cowl may be a little bit too big for me. However, in the winter time if you want to bundle up with lots of fabric to keep you warm, this yarn and this cowl will keep you super warm. I wear it for a few minute in the house and I already feeling too hot.
This is also a super quick project. I used about 2 hours to make this, it's very easy to make and you will definitely enjoy it when the weather get cold.

Blooming Sun Hat
I crocheted this sun hat in the summer time. I really like the pattern and shape. The flower design on the top is excellent. To me, this design is a bit of the small size, my 7 year old daughter wears it just a little bit too big, but for me, it's a little bit too small. After all, it only takes 2 to 3 hours to finish, it's a super quick project if you want to crochet something other than just scarf. It will give you a great satisfaction.

Tulip stitch dishcloth

Since Flickr has the direct blog icon, it really encourages me to blog, it's so much easier. I don't have to deal with color/ html txt/ font. It just simply to write a blog. :)
A while back I crochet this Tulip Stitch dishcloth. I thought I should blog this before I forgot. It's very easy to crochet and it looks so good. I only made 1 to though, got to do this more often. I have been too busy with my etsy store, too crazy to deal with convo and marketing, I just put my hobby aside.
OK, this weekend... got to find that hook back. :P

Hegge wonders if damage wasn't intentionally inflicted.
The Prairie Skyline Foundation, after being contacted by City of Crookston officials, is taking action to try to shore up some loose bricks that have fallen from the old Cathedral on Ash Street.
The bricks were brought to the attention of Crookston City Council members and Mayor Dave Genereux at a recent Ways & Means Committee meeting. Genereux said if public safety was a concern that action needed to be taken. Since then, Building Inspector Matt Johnson's office has sent the Prairie Skyline Foundation a "public hazard notice" that gives them 20 days to respond with a solution.
Foundation member Kay Hegge told the Times Tuesday that the foundation has extended yellow caution tape on the property underneath the south wall where some bricks have fallen from high on the wall, just under the roof line.
"We found a red brick in a plastic bag on the ground which makes me think someone hurled it up at the weak spot on purpose," Hegge wrote in response to a Facebook message sent to her by the Times seeking comment. "This means that the vandal(s) would have know which spot was weak."
Still within its initial 20-day window to act, the foundation is seeking bids from contractors to repair the hazard, Johnson told the Times. If the situation isn't remedied when the 20 days expire, he said a second notice would be sent. If the matter still isn't remedied, Johnson said the city attorney would be contacted and a misdemeanor criminal complaint could be filed. The city acquiring the property through the eminent domain process because it's been deemed a public health hazard is a last resort, Johnson explained. Another option is the city making the repairs with the consent of the owners, with the costs being assessed to the owners, he added.
Hegge said a Legacy grant application, due June 21, is in the works for an "updated structural conditions assessment" from an engineer.
"This grant will guide our grant application for replacing the flat roofs on the sacristies," she explained. "Many people want to know if the steeples can stand without the support of the entire Cathedral, so we will include the cost of the engineeer's time to determine this."
The Prairie Skyline Foundation's "reuse plan" for the old Cathedral can be found on the Crookston Cathedral Facebook page. On the page is also a photo of some of the fallen bricks, with one brick in a plastic bag.

|Audubon Park
"The 39th Congress Section 1, Chapter 299, passed Section 3 of the Army Organization Act of 1866 authorizing Six Regiments of Negro Troops, Two Cavalry and four infantry. On Sept. 21, 1866 The Ninth Calvary was activated near the site of Greenville, Louisiana which is now Audubon Park.

The Ninth Cavalry was ordered to Texas in June 1867 to protect the mail and the stage coach routes between San Antonio and El Paso and to defeat raiding Indians in the region. They maintained law and order, built forts, escorted wagons trains, and engaged in battles against Chief Vlctorlo, Chief Geronimo and Chief Nana,

"Biography of Louis Daniel Armstrong
Louis Armstrong was born in New Orleans in the Storyville District known as "the Battlefield" on August 4, 1901. He left school at the 5th grade to help support his family. He sang on street corners, sold newspapers and delivered coal.
He went to the Colored Waif's Home for shooting a gun to celebrate New Year's Eve on December 31, 1912. He learned to play the bugle cornet and to read music from Peter Davis at the Waif's Home. After 18 months, he left the Waif's Home determined to become a musician.
Armstrong first married Daisy Parker as his career as a musician developed.
King Oliver succeeded in encouraging Armstrong to move to Chicago to join his band. While in Chicago, Armstrong married Lil Hardin on February 4, 1924. Lil was a graduate of Fisk University and an excellent pianist who could read, write and arrange music. She encouraged and enhanced Armstrong's career. Some of the Jazz icon's most important and successful work was accomplished with his Hot Fives and Hot Sevens Bands. They separated in 1931 and later divorced in 1938. Louis married Alpha Smith in 1938 after his divorce from Lil.
During that time, Armstrong became very popular and one of the genre's most sought after trumpeters. He traveled a great deal and spent considerable time in Chicago and New York. He first moved to the Big Apple in 1924 to join Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra. Armstrong stayed in New York for a while but moved back to Chicago in October of 1925. He later went back to New York in 1929.
While maintaining a vigorous work schedule, as well as living and travelling back and forth to Chicago and California, Armstrong moved back to New York in the late 1930s and later married Lucille Wilson in 1942. He remained there until his death on July 6, 1971. He left his entire estate to Lucille, his beloved wife.
Louis Armstrong was the most important creative force in the early development and perpetuation of America's music, Jazz. His influence, as an artist and cultural icon, is universal, unmatched, and very much alive today.
According to the website for the Louis Armstrong House Museum: "Louis Armstrong's achievements are remarkable." During his career, he:
Developed a way of playing jazz, as an instrumentalist and a vocalist, which has had an impact on all musicians to follow.
Recorded hit songs for five decades, and his music is still heard today on television and radio and in films.
Wrote two autobiographies, more than ten magazine articles, hundreds of pages of memoirs, and thousands of letters.
Was the only Black Jazz musician to publicly speak out against school segregation in 1957.
So popular that warring sides in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa temporarily stopped fighting in 1960 to attend an Armstrong concert.
Appeared in more than thirty films (over twenty were full-length features) as a gifted actor with superb comic timing and an unabashed joy of life.
Composed dozens of songs that have become jazz standards.
Performed an average of 300 concerts each year, with his frequent tours to all parts of the world earning him the nickname "Ambassador Satch," and became one of the first great celebrities of the twentieth century.
Through the years, Louis entertained millions, from heads of state and royalty to the kids on his stoop in Corona. Despite his fame, he remained a humble man and lived a simple life in a working-class neighborhood. To this day, everyone loves Louis Armstrong—just the mention of his name makes people smile."

Bronzeville History at the Chicago's Home of Chicken & Waffles
Chicago's Home of Chicken and Waffles is located in one of the last remaining buildings from the Chicago Blues/Jazz History. The corner of 39th King Drive (South Parkway) and Oakwood Boulevard is the site of the former Ritz Hotel and Ritz Lounge. Some of the great musicians who stayed at the Ritz Hotel are Fats Waller, Earl Hines and Duke Ellington. Chicago native and Wendell Phillips High School Alumni Dinah Washington performed at the Ritz Lounge which was owned by Jimmy Cooper.
These are stories about the Historic Ritz Hotel and Ritz Lounge as told by author Dempsey Travis "An Autobiography of Black Jazz".
As related by Tenor Saxophonist Franz Jackson, "Waller usually had a portable organ in his room. He often tole me the story about the Christmas Eve he spent in Chicago at the Ritz Hotel located on South Parkway (King Drive) and Oakwood Boulevard. That night after he finished work he went to his room with a friend and started working out on the organ. The room was literally rocking when it slowly began filling up with piano players. Duke Ellington, who was staying in the hotel, was the first to drift into Waller's room, followed by Earl Hines, who was working next door at the Terrace. Billy Kyle, the pianist with John Kirby's Orchestra, was also staying at the hotel, and he came downstairs to Waller's room feeling good and just flopped down on the bed. Not too much time had passed before Duke pulled out his handkerchief, pretending to wipe his nose. Earl Hines started rubbing his eyes as though they itched. There was not a dry eye in that room because all the "cats" had become homesick and were moved by Waller's sensitive rendition's of "Silent Night" and other holiday songs."
As told by Tenor Saxophonist David A. Young; "In 1942, I joined Lucky Millinder's Orchestra. It was loaded with talented musicians, "Dizzy" Gillespie and "Cat" Anderson were in the trumpet section; 'Panama' Francis was the organist. There were a total of sixteen singing cats in the band.
The Millinder band was actually a back-up touring orchestra for the Four Ink Spots who were at the height of their popularity during that period. Their "If I Didn't Care" number was still breaking up the house. But for some reason, tall, slim and handsome Bill Kenny, the lead singer and star of the "Spots", was jealous of the short, chocolate brown Deak Watson. On many occasions after they had taken their bows and were waiting offstage for the applause, Bill Kenny would haul off and hit Deak Watson in the mouth and then both of them would run back on stage as if nothing happened. Hoppy Jones, the baritone who owned and organized the group for radio station WLW in Cincinnati, would frequently remind Bill Kenny, who was born in the West Indies, that when they picked him up he was on his behind and they could leave him that same way. That would have been easy because Bill Kenny gambled away his money almost as fast as he made it. He would sometimes lose as much as $4,000 a night with Jimmy Cooper who ran a twenty-four crap game at the DuSable Hotel at 764 East Oakwood Boulevard. Charlie Cole, one of the owners of the DuSable Lounge, used to say that Bill Kenny worked to gamble,. Jimmy Cooper made enough money out of those games to buy the Ritz Lounge, which was located in the basement of the Ritz Hotel at 409 East Oakwood Boulevard, just twenty-five feet east of South Parkway [now King Drive].
I went into the Ritz Lounge in February 1947 with a six-piece combo which included Pee Wee Jackson on trumpet, Goon Gardner on alto sax, Curtis Walker on drums, Rudy Martin on piano and Bill Nettles on bass. The Ritz had a blues loving crowd. Jo Jo Adams, a blues singer, was one of the main attractions at the lounge when we started. He obtained a better gig at Club DeLisa and gave Jimmy Cooper his notice.
Billie Holiday was in town working at the Colosimo Cafe at 2126 South Wabash Avenue. Lady Day and Jimmy Cooper were very good friends. Cooper and I went down on South Wabash to persuade her to come out and work at the Ritz Lounge after she closed at Colosimo's.
Billie said; "Jimmy, I can't do it, but I know a black bitch who has never made more than a hundred dollars a week in her life who could do you a lot of good. You take this bitch and put her in your place and when she opens her mouth and starts singing, the plaster on the wall will start shivering. Here is her telephone number. Her name is Ruth Jones, but she works under the name of Dinah Washington."
Jimmy laughed. "I don't want the bitch," he said, "but I have got to have somebody."
Dinah had been a student at Wendell Phillips. She had won an amateur contest at the Regal Theater and gigged around the country with Lionel Hampton's Orchestra for seventy-five dollars a week. Her best know record up until that time was a bold and unabashed rendition of "Evil Gal Blues," which she waxed with Lionel Hampton's orchestra for Keynote Records in 1943.
Dinah Washington was the first big time act to appear at the Ritz Lounge. Her salary was $250 per week. She had not been at the club ten days before we started having standing room only crowds in that non-air-conditioned room. On weekends, people would stand in lines extending one-half block east of Oakwood Boulevard just to hear Dinah and sweat. Mike DeLisa and his henchmen from Club DeLisa would come down almost every night trying to figure out what made this black blues singer such a sensation. The two solid months that Dinah remained at the Ritz during her first engagement, the club stayed packed as tight as a can of sardines nightly. Jimmy Cooper was so glad to get her back later that year when she returned from a road trip that he increased her salary to $750."
As you dine on the mouth-watering Southern Soul Food at Chicago's Home of Chicken and Waffles imagine the jazz and blues great performers who made the Ritz Hotel and Ritz Lounge jump with music.

Just woke up on a bad dream. Repercussions of Saturday's protest. In the dream, I suddenly hear very strong sounds of a girl having intense sex. I recognize the voice. Its that of a girl I've known too well a few years back. I run to the source of the sound, and see the guy on top of her, in action. So I tell them that we don't need to hear their sex, "please lower your voice", and I shut the door.
I saw this girl in Saturday's protest. Seemed to have become a replica of Sonallah Ibrahim's Warda. I was once joking with her when she was going to Yemen for two months, asking if she's already feeling Warda's character, and she was very pleased and amused with the comment back then. Apparently, she's really assuming the character now.
I saw her in the protest after the police picked up most of the guys, standing in a small group, among them was a guy that was suddenly grabbed by 6 plain-clothed soldiers to be dragged away.
The girl screamed and wailed. Kept shouting for them to leave him 'cause he's her husband, shouted for the "sons of dogs" to leave him. When they picked him, she jumped and tried to pull him out, then the wailing, screaming, and jumping continued till they took him away. She was just trying to save the guy. Simple. I had this urge to grab her, hold her arms, and tell her that its not gonna help, I think, so please shut up!
I then saw her later on the stairs of the syndicate, standing cool, smoking a cigarette, a smoker she has become. She said hi, I said hi, and I pointed to the unique flag she was wearing, lightly asking; "what is this? Che Guevara?!"

Japan: Please don't crumble on me now. I want to visit Japan one day and try some real, authentic Japanese food. I'm sending my love and best wishes that way. This is only the beginning: First an earthquake, then a tsunami, aftershocks, fires, and then another earthquake, followed by more aftershocks. Even when all these natural disasters end, many people will be left without family members, homes, warmth and food. I cannot imagine how scary it would be to try to outrun gigantic waves, while watching it swallow up your house.
We should do what we can to help people in Japan – Huffingtonpost posted an article on How to Help Japan: Earthquake Relief Options (click to see options). Please do help if you can- this could be us. $10 might not be much to us, but could really help out over there.
Picture from: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/11/how-to-help-japan-earthquake-relief_n_834484.html
Although, I may not be able to try authentic Japanese food right now, there is a decent Japanese restaurant near the University of Oregon's campus that suits my Japanese food craving.
Overall Restaurant Rating – Rating: 3 ½ out of 5 – Miso (686 E 13th Ave, 97401) is definitely not some high-quality sushi place and it's sushi selection is somewhat limited, but it is a good bang for the buck. The portion sizes are very generous. I can never finish my meals there, and always have leftovers.
What we ordered:
Teriyaki bowl – Rating: 4/5 – White rice and teriyaki chicken. The rice was very good and moist, and so was the chicken. There is a lot of food in that little bowl they serve! The best part is it's only $3.95! So if you ever have $4 and you want some food that will fill you up, this is what you need to order.
Teriyaki beef combo – Rating: 4/5 – The beef is cooked well and drenched in teriyaki sauce. It comes with two scoops of rice and a fresh salad. I loved the salad; the lettuce was so crispy! I'm not sure what the dressing was though; it might have been some sort of sweeten vinegar. All of this was only $6.50.
Shrimp Tempura Roll – Rating 3/5 – Tempura shrimp, imitation crab, cucumber and avocado – $5.95. This was okay, nothing too special. They covered the sushi with teriyaki sauce, so if you don't eat it right away, the roll will become less crunchy. I would actually ask them to hold the sauce because they have the sauce bottle available, so you can add some if you wanted later.
Crunch California Roll – Rating: 3/5 – Imitation crab, cucumber, avocado and tempura crunch bits – $3.50. It was the basic California roll, but there wasn't really a crunch because they drenched the roll in teriyaki sauce so the crunch turned soggy.
Spicy Crunch Roll (Not pictured)– Rating: 2/5 – Spicy tuna, cucumber, and tempura crunch bits – $6.50. The roll had a good spice to it, but the raw tuna was a bit too rich.
Conclusions: Miso loves their teriyaki sauce and likes to drench everything they serve in it. So my advice is to tell them to hold the sauce, then you can add your own. If you like pickled ginger, they have self-serve pickled ginger as well. Like many places on camps, you order at the counter, grab your own utensils and bus your own table. They bring your food to you. One thing that should be improved about the restaurant is that you can't customize your order. I would love it if I could switch my teriyaki chicken bowl with chicken Katsu instead, but they said no. I'm not sure why they would say no to a paying customer, but okay.
I couldn't find a copy of Miso's menu online, but there are other reviews of Miso's dishes on Urbanspoon:
Happy eating my fellow foodies and keep praying for Japan!

Thank you Rad! This Venus assignment took a lot more time than the previous ones, I guess because all the repeating themes are building up, and needed to be reworked freshly, yet again! But I do feel that learning this method is both driving my understanding of EA deeper than ever, but also simplifying it too.
I'm well aware however, that it is only because of Jeffrey bringing EA to life in the very first place, plus the generosity of all those on the EA council in creating this MB, Steve's constant attention to the administration of it, and your tireless, indispensable efforts in teaching and helping us all, along with the participation of everyone else to make the MB the wonderful resource that it is, that I have been able to learn EA at all.
I started doing astrology very young, and had been doing it for many years before I came across Jeffrey's Pluto I book. And I will be ever grateful that I did, as while I always felt astrology was a great tool it always seemed to be missing something although I was never sure what ... yes it did describe a great deal, but now of course I know that what it was missing was the big fat WHY of things - the Soul. I've been doing EA for 13 years now (came across Jeffrey's book in 1999), but to be honest its only this year that I feel I'm starting to really understand it. Even now, sometimes I look at a chart and my mind just goes blank!
There is so much richness and shades of meaning in the 12 basic archetypes, and then they are manifesting via different phenomena - signs, houses, planets and aspects, which are all intricately linked. So it does take a lot of study. But I'm also learning to trust both my instincts and my intuition much more, trusting that whatever knowledge about a part of a chart that I need will be obvious, or will arise by itself if I reflect and give it a bit of time. But I think when I really started getting more of a sense of EA, was when I started meditating on the paradigm itself - after all, as I now understand it, EA is really about finding our own way past the personality behavior, down through the ego sense of self, to our Soul and beyond. And I've found mediating on any part of that chain very helpful.
As for writing about EA, thank you for suggesting it .... I guess that could be a possibility at some point, I'd never thought of it, so first step I think is let the idea sink in and see what comes of it...
But thank you Rad for being so, so generous with all your incredible expertise, time and energy. I personally appreciate it an enormous amount, and I'm sure many others also feel that way too.

Hello Rad and Group,
I also intend to continue participating in this thread, and apologize for not making this post sooner. I've run across a number of obstacles recently in process of trying to write something, and though it is not as in depth as I would have liked, I would at least like to post what I have at this point. Thank you for waiting for me, and if I have the time I may make a few modifications to what I have included below.
Investigating the placement of Venus in the birth chart of Charles Darwin through our "planetary method" means exploring the types of values that Darwin lived from and that influenced his beliefs about the meaning of life. As we have already discussed that the soul intention of Darwin was to investigate the ultimate meaning of life through his intuition, research, and rational scientific method, examining how his Aries Venus influenced his beliefs concerning the meaning of life is very important, as it would influence the way he carried out his scientific method and interpreted the results. With an Aries Venus at the very end of his third house, Darwin had an intense self motivated drive to expand his consciousness and awareness of mental concepts underpinning the nature of reality. This Venusian value system influencing the process of his research methodology goes back lifetimes, because his Aries Venus is the ruler of the South Node of his Moon in his 5th House. As a result his Aries Venus is a major clue to the nature of his past incarnations and their relationship to the life and work of his soul's incarnation as Charles Darwin.
An Aries Venus can often be narcissistic and intensely focused upon fulfilling desires of the self, and this is clearly the case with the past life ego identities of Darwin as the South Node of the Moon his Venus rules is also in the 5th House, meaning his past life identities had a sense of themselves as being special, with an important destiny to fulfill. In addition his South Node of the Moon is in Taurus, again giving an emphasis toward focusing upon his own internal nature and self-resources as a means to fulfill his special sense of a grand purpose in life. Incarnating as Charles Darwin with an Aries Venus at the end of his third house means that he would again have an intensely narcissistic value system underpinning his beliefs and motivations, and that he would again have a pull toward getting his own way or using others for his own purposes. It also means that his own glamorized sense of this special purpose he had to fulfill in his lifetime would mean that it would be challenging to fully commit his entire being to another in relationship, for fear of losing himself through enmeshment. Thus he would have a fear of not being able to complete his important work as a result of putting the needs of others in relationship at least at the same level as his own desire to complete his purpose, or through somehow losing himself in the relationship and putting completion of his purpose at risk as as a result. So, for example in his marriage while he may have outwardly sustained a committed partnership, internally there would have been a part of him more removed and more independently focused upon his own intellectual pursuits.
However, since Darwin has a skipped step of an Aquarius Chiron squaring his lunar nodal axis and a Scorpio Uranus conjunct his North Node of the Moon, it also means that in past lives Darwin had also begun a process of evolutionary development. However, these symbols indicate that it oftentimes took a crisis, at times even a cataclysmic crisis of intense trauma, to basically force him to move out of his own self-preoccupation and evolve his consciousness forward toward a more objective understanding that there are countless other special people in the world who have just as much right as he does to follow and fulfill their own special purposes in life, as well as that by forming relationships with others he could combine with them toward a more collective purpose instead of his own specialized individual life purpose. In other words, in one way or another he would take his self-obsessed Aries Venus value system and find a way to use his special sense of purpose to serve the greater humanity and fulfill the collective needs instead of his own personal egocentric needs. The Uranus and 11th house signatures combined with Scorpio would also indicate an evolutionary purpose to objectify his intense soul desires and come to a greater wholistic understanding of his nature, ultimately helping him liberate himself from past limitations. Thus these birth chart symbols in totality indicate that Darwin incarnated with an Aries Venus again in order to have the self-focused drive to follow through with his special purpose (which truly was important because of the extraordinary impact it would make upon the consciousness of humankind), but that in this incarnation he would be provided with opportunities to make new choices that would lead to more of a balance between pursuing his own passions and purposes and being aware of the needs, purposes, and passions of loved ones and other fellow humans in his path. His soul coming into its incarnation as Charles Darwin from a series of traumatic lifetimes in which it experienced intense crises, and as Darwin displaying a repressed nature at times that could be interpreted as being frozen in a way from this past life trauma, one reason Darwin had a Venus in Aries was to give him such an intense focus on self and his impulsive desires that he couldn't help but be moved into action at times by his Aries value system in a manner that wasn't just about being obsessed with himself, it would also have the purpose of helping him recover his essential Self from limitations of past conditioning.
Furthermore, the intensity of his past life trauma is so extreme it was like Darwin was operating from a perspective of post-traumatic stress from birth, without even being aware of it. The fact that Chiron is his skipped step, and he was born over a century before the discovery of Chiron, is an additional symbol to me of how unconscious this trauma would have been for him. His birth chart symbols also indicate that in this lifetime he would again face crises and traumas to force himself out of his own bubble and gain greater awareness of the presence and needs of others- since his Aries Venus is conjunct his IC and his fourth house cusp, this issue became important with regards to the marriage and family he created. It has been brought up in this thread that his soul's previous incarnation was as the famous sea explorer William Dampier, a man who achieved great fame for himself through navigating around the world and publishing written accounts of his adventures that brought him a great following of readers. Dampier had a progression of first being essentially a pirate who would have been focused upon taking from others in order to perpetuate his own survival needs, to eventually a celebrated explorer and author who also took advantage at times of indigenous people he met in order to parade them about society and increase his own fame in the process. Dampier also had to defend himself against charges of cruelty and abuse against members of his own crew, and as a man spending most of his time sailing around the globe, he of course would not have been much of a devoted family man or romantic partner. All of these historical fragments about Dampier lend themselves to a portrait of a man who put a lot of energy and focus into succeeding at his own endeavors and acquiring a great amount of knowledge for himself that he could communicate in a third house manner to the world. In contrast, we can see the placement of Venus in Aries being at the very end of the third house and conjunct the IC and fourth house cusp in the incarnation of Charles Darwin to be a symbol of how Darwin did make choices to sustain a committed marriage and to be part of the life of his children, even though at the same time he was obsessed with his own intellectual pursuits and communication with the world at large. His soul has a deep history of conflicts between home, family, and career pursuits, and in the life of Charles Darwin these conflicts were brought up in sharp relief.
Further information about the influence of previous lifetimes through the placement of Darwin's Aries Venus can be seen in the fact that the South Node of Darwin's Venus is in Capricorn in his second house, conjunct his natal Capricorn Moon, as well as the south nodes of Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, Vesta, and Mercury. The second house placement of this South Node of Venus, as well as the fact his Aries Venus rules his South Node of the Moon in taurus, means that Darwin's Venus has a deep connection with survival issues going back lifetimes, and the other planetary south nodes indicate his survival resources included his beliefs, communication and perceptual skills, and understanding of ultimate reality. As JWG has written, the archetype of Venus correlates with the archetype of survival in every Soul, however, in the case of Darwin this is an especially strong correlation, since the South Node of his Moon is in Taurus and ruled by his Aries Venus. The soul of Darwin had learned that it could rely upon it's own internal resources, in particular it's highly developed mind and communication skills, in order to survive and in some lifetimes even flourish with a degree of fame. However, other symbols associated with his second house, such as his skipped step of Aquarius Chiron squaring his lunar nodes, indicate that he also could have faced traumatic survival issues at times that led him to become even more fixated and locked into looking to himself in order to survive instead of being open to merging with others. Darwin's strong Capricorn energy in his second house also indicates that the value system his soul developed across lifetimes became heavily conditioned by society, and with a Saturn in the 12th House conjunct Jupiter, also strongly conditioned by dominant religious thoughts and beliefs of the time. At the same time, however, with his evolutionary development in an 11th house direction already partially developed, and with an Aquarius Sun also in his 2nd house, another element of the value system of Darwin's was that he had an intention to ultimately liberate himself from these conditioned values. Thus, he was a complex character who had highly conditioned values he was living from as well as a value system that led him to want to liberate himself from this same conditioning.
Indeed, part of the evolutionary intention of Darwin having an Aries Venus in his third house is simply the exact placement of Venus itself, as the north node of his Venus is also in Aries and also conjunct the natal placement of his Venus in the third house. Thus, by following the lead of his Aries Venus and all of its aspects, he will be on the evolutionary path of his Venus, which involves helping to liberate him from past conditioning of belief systems dominating the cultures he lived within in past incarnations of his soul. This is partially done through Darwin re-living and re-experiencing past incarnational issues and soul wounds symbolized by the fact that this same Aries Venus is also the ruler of his south node of the Moon and so the themes of his past life ego identity. So his Aries Venus is yet another symbol of this, similar to how his North Node of the Moon is in Scorpio and ruled by his Pluto, meaning he would have an evolutionary intention of re-living and re-triggering past incarnational issues. We can see this in some of the main aspects of his Venus: for one, his Aries Venus being in balsamic semi-sextile to his South Node of the Moon reveals how it's self-centered focus would help him center on more timeless visions his soul had been developing across lifetimes that would lead him to let go of his past conditioning, and open himself to new ideas and impulses that could help move him more toward his evolutionary purpose of serving the collective needs of humanity. Furthermore, since his Aries Venus is in a gibbous inconjunct to his North Node of the Moon and Uranus in Scorpio, it shows how this evolutionary development to serve humanity would involve lessons of humility in which he would find a way to use his special abilities to serve the whole, instead of the narcissistic needs of his Aries Venus. Again, this aspect also indicates that this process would involve experiencing crises, and with his soul history most likely they would at times be crises that would re-trigger deep soul wounds in order to help him adjust and modify his Aries Venus value system to align with the needs of his external social environment. The intensity of his experiences in the end could help him dissolve his limiting past conditioning, and this can be seen in the fact his Aries Venus is also in a first quarter trine to a Sagitarius Saturn conjunct Neptune in his 12th House, a dissolving 12th House conjunction whose planets together rule his Capricorn Moon, South Node of Venus conjunct a stellium of South Nodes of planets, and his Pisces Pluto and Mercury. As a result of being full of himself in a very Aries Venus manner, he would in the end lead himself into intense situations and other experiences that would force him to face his evolutionary issues.
Darwin's Aries Venus also correlates with the narcissistic and self-absorbed inner relationship his Soul had to himself, which then became the basis for how he related to others. So the past life identity of Darwin that his Aries Venus ruled came into this, and he tended to often relate to others in accord with how they could help him fulfill his own special purpose. Likewise, his own resulting inner magnetism would attract similar figures who would also look to use Darwin to aid their own purposes. So in this way he could have relationships in which he got something out of them in order to help him complete his own missions, and in which he would also help them at other times with their own missions. Thus a strong component of the intense curiosity his Third House Venus would express would be tied into listening to how others could help him. When listening to others in conversation, for example, his perception could be focused upon the information he could glean that would ultimately help him with his own intellectual work, instead of listening out of pure interest in the perspective and experience of the other person. As a result at times this could make Darwin appear to others like a self-obsessed intellectual who was more interested in his own mental pursuits than genuine emotional connection with others. This can be seen in how Darwin decided to get married in part because of a more rational analysis of how a marriage could help him in life, instead of through an intense passionate desire to merge with the being of a lover. Through the mirror side of his internal relationship with himself, it also indicates that in his external relationships he would also be used by others for their own purposes. With the self-focused nature of an Aries Venus, Darwin would be hypersensitive about being used in this way by others upon realizing it, even though he himself may have been doing it at times, and this would contribute to his periods of extreme depression and introspection. As a result he could have a feeling of disillusionment, and this would help explain how he could at times seem so dynamic and persistent about pursuing his special sense of destiny, and at other times appear to be hypersensitive and mired in deep levels of depression and darkness, including making himself ill in the process.
I feel part of the Libra side of Darwin's Aries Venus can be seen in how not only does Gemini rule the cusp of his seventh house, that his Venus is in his Third House. Combined with the creative and energetic nature of his Venus being in Aries and ruling his South Node of the Moon in Taurus, it would mean that he would be able to form relationships with other narcissistic and self-focused beings who had a strong sense of self and highly developed internal resources. These people would be highly successful in some way in the external world, and with Darwin's interests most likely in an intellectual capacity in some way. With his Aries Venus, Darwin could be quite charming with these relationships and ingratiate himself with them in a manner that they would follow through with helping him in some way. This can be seen in Darwin's ability to win over extremely influential mentors and friends and every stage of his lifetime. Another symbol of this would be that his Aries Venus is ruled by a Libra Mars in his 10th House, and that in addition these relationships could trigger old incarnational issues since his Libra Mars squares his Capricorn Moon that is conjunct his stellium of south nodes of planets, including the south node of Venus. One example of a relationship like this would be Alfred Wallace- on the one hand, Darwin made choices to align more with his 11th house soul direction by deciding to help promote Wallace instead of entering open competition with him for developing similar ideas. However, at the same time Wallace could have been triggering for Darwin since while on the one hand they shared commonality in belief and intellectual theorizing, at the same time they had some sharp differences, and Wallace in particular held some beliefs that seemed to strike at the core of some of Darwin's conditioned beliefs he seemed to have difficulty liberating himself from.
In addition, Darwin's Aries Venus being in the third house that is associated with the Gemini archetype would bring up the polarity JWG described as a "reactive process" of "thought possibilities" in which he would learn about himself "through cycles of contraction which are induced as a reaction to excessive expansion" (Pluto book II, p. 140). In this way his Venus connects to his deep soul work of intense mental pursuits, going to the extremes of mental curiosity, research, and expression, only to come up against an obstacle or simply a sense to turn back inside in a more internal direction to withdraw and reflect in the face of acquiring an extreme level of new information and knowledge through his variety of mental pursuits. In this way the extremity of intellectual pursuits would enter a process of re-balancing by him also going through periods of solitude and withdrawal from the world and his intellectual striving. In Darwin's case, again the idea of a crisis forcing this withdrawal at times can be observed, such as his repeated bouts with sickness and illness of one kind or another, as well as the death of beloved children or the risk of death of loved ones through illness.
Finally, Darwin's Venus correlates with his sense of feelings through the self-absorbed and intellectually obsessed placement of his Venus in Aries and the Third House. Darwin could be hypersensitive and find ways to interpret stimuli in his environment to be about himself, to be a threat or insult to his sense of self in some way. With a Libra Mars in the 10th house that is square to his second house Capricorn Moon, it is almost as if he couldn't help himself in forming relationships and asserting his Will into his external environment in a way that would ultimately trigger situations that would be deeply wounding to himself. This wounding, however, and extreme hypersensitivity, was serving a purpose of ultimately helping Darwin evolve if he could in the end objectify this emotional process and come to more of an understanding of the folly of him taking everything so personally on an emotional level.
Sexually, I feel the paradox of Darwin appearing to have been very repressed sexually, yet having an Aries Venus which can often correlate with a strong sexual nature and magnetism, can be better understood through the placement of Venus being at the end of the third house, and so still connected in some way with the Gemini archetype and so there could have been a more mental orientation to his sexuality. So in this way, part of his liberation from past sexual conditioning could have happened to a degree within in his own mind, with him thinking about various sexual scenarios and doing various sexual thought experiments in a way in which he would consider in his mind a wide variety of sexual experiences and even techniques. Thus his Venus being in Aries would on an instinctual level bring more thoughts of sexuality into his mind, so that even though he may not have been acting upon these sexual desires, there would have still been an internal process of liberating himself from past sexual conditioning occurring inside himself.
peace and love,

Hi Gray,
Well it was certainly worth the wait for your brilliant EA analysis of Darwin's Venus placement in it's totality. You deftly integrated his natal placement of Venus with it's South and North Nodes within the context of the ongoing evolutionary journey of the Soul of Darwin. Through this interaction of the past leading to the current life of Darwin you correctly used the previous life of Dampier to do so. Your EA reasoning was exceptionally sound for all that you diagnosed. This is how EA is meant to be done and, in so doing, you are helping all those that come to the thread to read and learn from it. The one dynamic/ archetype that was not sufficiently developed relative to his Venus was the sexual one. Our next step in this planetary method will of course be Mars. Thus, we all have the opportunity to develop more deeply and thoroughly the sexual dynamics of the Soul of Darwin.
Simply brilliant EA work Gray.
Bravo !
God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad, and group
I'm coming back to the practice. I thought I'd accomplish a lot in my work by being out for a while. Bur this didn't happen. Only a bit. So, I'm back to continuing the normal practice.

Hi Gonzalo, Upasika, Ari, Gray, Mirta, and Kristin..............
Ok, so we have now come to our next step in the Planetary Method of understanding the EA of Darwin's birth chart. We will now focus on the planet Mars that correlates to the lower octave of Pluto. As such, Mars correlates to the instinctual acting out, acting upon, the evolutionary desires that manifest within the Soul. JWG said it correlates to the 'leading edge' of the Soul's evolution at any point in time wherein the Soul is in a constant state of 'becoming'. All of our Souls are of course in a constant and continual state of becoming.
Because of this the Mars archetype correlates to the necessary need for circumstantial freedom in order to act upon the desires emanating from the Soul itself. These desires manifest instinctively through Mars that within the egocentric consciousness of the Soul, the ego it creates in each life, as impulses that are immediate to any given moment in time. In other words, there is not a lot of forethought connected to these impulsive desires that correlate to the constant state of becoming. The Soul wants freedom to act upon them wherein the reaction to the initiated desires then correlates to self knowledge: because of the reaction.
These desires that manifest from the Soul, Pluto, through it's lower octave, Mars, are always within the total evolutionary
of any given Soul: it's entire past that is always interfacing with each moment in time. Thus, to understand that past is critical to understanding how Mars manifests in any given birth chart. Part of that past of course correlates with the S.Node of Mars by house, sign, and the aspects to it. Additionally, the planetary ruler of that S.Node by it's own house, sign, and aspects further correlates to that past. The nature of each moment will correlate with the natal Mars by house, sign, and aspects to it.
The N.Node of Mars, as all N.Nodes do, will correlate with the intended evolutionary future of the Soul. BECAUSE OF THESE INTENTIONS the N.Nodes of any planet, including Mars,
will influence or help condition
the very nature of the desires manifesting through the natal position of Mars. Thus, it is essential to understand the house, sign, and aspects to the N.Node as well as the location of it's planetary ruler by it's own house, sign, and aspects.
In totality, then, this correlates to a natural trinity wherein that trinity correlates with the past and future and interfaced in the dynamic tension of each moment of the Soul's life.
So looking into Darwin's chart we see that his natal Mars is in Libra in his 10th House that is not only making a crescent phase square to his Moon in Capricorn in the 2nd, but all of the S.Nodes within that house: Pluto, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Vesta, and Saturn. It is also making squares to the N.Nodes of Pluto and Saturn in Cancer which are conjunct the 7th and 8th House cusps. Of course those Nodes are ruled by the Moon in which Mars is squaring.
Those squares to/ from these Nodes to natal Mars DO NOT CORRELATE TO SKIPPED STEPS. They do correlate to the evolutionary needs of the Soul, the developmental stress that is so symbolized, in such a way that until this evolutionary need is actualized in full the Soul will keep itself in this state of developmental/ evolutionary stress until it is actualized. As we can see this existing evolutionary/ developmental stress with the Soul of Darwin has been carried forwards from it's most recent prior lives.
By understanding this critical evolutionary issue is then to understand why Darwin's Soul also chose, in the context of the life as Darwin, his Mars in Libra in the 10th is trine his natal Sun in Aquarius in the 2nd House. This Sun of course is ruled by Uranus in Scorpio in the 11th, conjunct the N.Node of the Moon. As we know this means that that N.Node, thus Uranus, has been acted upon prior to the current life. This restates the the existing developmental/evolutionary stress that has been brought into the current life that is, again, symbolized by his Mars squaring all those S.Nodes in Capricorn, and the two N.Nodes in Cancer.
Mars of course also correlates with the very nature of the sexual desires that a Soul has wherein the nature such desires also correlate with the ongoing evolutionary journey of any given Soul. These desires manifest in the current life by way of the natal sign of Mars, the house, the the aspects to it. Yet, as we have just discussed, it is essential to understand the entire evolutionary paradigm of Mars in total: the S.Node of Mars, etc, etc, etc. , that 'sets up' the current life placement of Mars: the 'why' of it. And the N.Node of Mars, as discussed above, correlates with the intended evolutionary future for Mars that then influences or conditions the natal placement of Mars itself.
As we just learned in our last step, Venus, this correlates with essential needs. Needs that correlate with others in our lives, and needs with have within our self that must be met by ourselves. Needs that are projected upon others thus correlates with the expectations we have for those others in our lives.
Thus, when combined with Mars, sexually speaking, the types of sexual needs with have that are projected upon others, and the meaning we give to those projected desires. As a result, sexual expectations we have with others, as well as the types of sexual desires and expectations that are projected from others upon oneself which is rooted in the nature of the specific type of magnetism emanating from within the Soul itself: Venus combined with Pluto.
So looking now into Darwin's birth chart, given all that we have developed thus far, let's now create an evolutionary understanding as to the nature of the Mars in his chart in it's totality. How does the core EA paradigm, Pluto, Nodes, Rulers of those Nodes, Pluto's polarity point, symbolizing the ongoing evolutionary journey of the Soul of Darwin manifest through the leading edge of his life, Mars, by way of the desires manifesting through it ? What has been the prior life context that of itself is a determinant of those desires and why including the S.Node of Mars and the location of it's planetary ruler been ? How is the N.Node of Mars by house and sign location, aspects to it, and the location of it's planetary ruler influencing or conditioning the very nature of the desires manifesting through the natal position of Mars ? What types of sexual desires will manifest through natal Mars by sign, house, and aspects to it ? How has the S.Node of Mars by house, sign, and aspects to it, the location of it's planetary ruler by it's own house, sign, and aspects to it correlate to a determinant that is the causative factor for the natal Mars ?
Relative to the S.Node of Venus, the location of it's planetary ruler, in the houses and signs that that they are in, aspects to them, correlate to the prior life needs and expectations projected on others interface with Mars by way of sexual desires and needs that Darwin would have had, and will have in the current life: natal Venus and natal Mars ? How do the N.Nodes of Mars and Venus, houses, signs, aspects, influence those desires and expectations, and why this is ?
If you have any questions please ask them of me now.
God Bless, Rad

The primary objective of the Psychoanalysis & the University Committee is to chart a map of the psychoanalysts affiliated to the International Psychoanalytical Association who work in Universities at various levels and in diverse roles. It is tasked to foster a psychoanalytic presence in the university academic environment; to establish a network of psychoanalysts who work in universities and to promote a dialogue between psychoanalytic thinking and university culture, including encouraging debate on psychoanalytic training which is likely to enhance the dialogue between present psychoanalytical thinking and university culture. In this way, they intend to ascertain – at least partly – who and how numerous these psychoanalysts are, what they teach, in what way and to whom.
Below is a list of Universities with psychoanalytical departments; they do not necessarily reflect IPA training areas:

"It can be argued, and has been argued by the likes of Brad Bird (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille) among others that one shouldn't discuss animated films as if they are all to be lumped together, since technically the only thing they should have in common is the fact that they are not produced via live-action. I wish that were wholly true. But when it comes to discussing mainstream animated films in America, it is unfortunately a question of genre. Artistically and especially financially speaking, films like Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 and Turbo are indeed cut from similar cloth in that they are basically targeting the same audience. We might decry this fact, but American animated films are still considered child's play, a notion that heavily influences who they are aimed at and how they are made."Unfortunately, when we get something animated aimed at adults, it's because it's unsuitable for children, not because it should be taken seriously by anyone mature. Today's announcement of Sausage Party, an R-rated animated feature by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, does nothing to advance the cause of animation for adults.
We can argue over the terminology, but it doesn't change the facts. North American animation is kid stuff.

|Salty Tart store front
. No baking plans today, so I figured I would take this chance to introduce my all time favorite bakery: the Salty Tart. This small bakery, located in Midtown in Minneapolis, MN, is owned by Michelle Gayer, the most outgoing, genuine, and passionate baker I have had the pleasure of meeting. Words can't even describe the deliciousness that comes out of her kitchen. Believe me, I've taken every chance to promote her bakery to anyone and everyone I know. "You need desserts? Hellooo, Salty Tart!" So how do I know of this little gem? Long and random story, but I was fortunate enough to intern at the bakery a few summers back and my life has never been the same. Once you're introduced to the finer things in life, you can't really ever go back.
What are some of my favorites, you ask? It's hard to say because there is nothing, literally nothing, that you wouldn't die for when it comes to this place. But from my short stint at the Salty Tart, I absolutely fell in love with the Pastry Cream-Filled Brioche and the Sour Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies. Just thinking about them makes me want to make the 6-hour drive back home and head straight to the Global Market. My mouth is watering.
|Pastry Cream-filled Brioche
The wonderful thing about this bakery, however, is the array of goodies they make from scratch each and every day. Homemade breads, UNREAL sandwiches, cookies, cupcakes, tarts...you name it, they have it! Have I mentioned the gorgeous wedding cakes?! Don't think for a second that I haven't mentioned those to EVERY newly engaged couple I've come across! I could probably go on for the rest of the day raving about this place, but it's one of those things that you have to try for yourself. And you won't regret it. I've already noticed the increasing publicity Michelle and the Salty Tart have received, it's only a matter of time until they have completely taken over Minnesota (if they haven't already!) .
Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to get updates on all of their special goodies! .
