McLEAN, Va. - Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says the courts will ultimately have to determine the legality of wiretapping by the National Security Agency.
And he's not sure that's a good thing.
Scalia addressed NSA wiretapping Wednesday in a speech to the Northern Virginia Technology Council when he was asked about technology companies' role in protecting customers' privacy when their data has been unconstitutionally collected.
Scalia said the high court originally ruled that there were no constitutional prohibitions on wiretaps because conversations were not explicitly granted privacy protection under the Fourth Amendment, which protects against Americans against unreasonable search and seizure of "their persons, houses, papers, and effects."
That 1928 opinion, in Olmstead v. U.S., was overturned nearly 40 years later by the Warren court, which found, Scalia said, "there's a generalized right of privacy that comes from penumbras and emanations, blah blah blah, garbage."
"The consequence of that is that whether the NSA can do the stuff it's been doing ... which used to be a question for the people ... will now be resolved by the branch of government that knows the least about the issues in question, the branch that knows the least about the extent of the threat against which the wiretapping is directed," he said.
He also said the Constitution calls for a balancing test to determine whether any search or seizure is reasonable, and that depends on the threat that is posed - another question he said courts are ill-equipped to answer.
He talked about the pat downs and other searches that occur at airports as an example of that balancing act.
"That's a terrible intrusion of privacy," he said. "But you're willing to do it because of the seriousness of the threat."
As for the question about tech companies' obligations to inform clients about an illegal intrusion of their information, Scalia said that, yes, a company should speak up if it knows a customer has had its data illegally seized. "But it's pretty hard to know that. ... If it's a governmental wiretap, presumably it's been approved by somebody, some lawyer expert in the field who said it was OK, and you better be damn sure you're right before you blow the cover."
In July, following the disclosures by NSA leaker Edward Snowden about the extent of the agency's surveillance programs, the Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a direct appeal to the Supreme Court asking it to bar NSA from collecting phone call records on millions of U.S. customers. The court has not yet decided whether to hear the case.
Earlier this year, the Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that clients represented by the American Civil Liberties Union lacked standing to challenge a 2008 law under which the NSA conducts aspects of its surveillance. Scalia voted with the majority to turn away that challenge to the law.
Scalia expects NSA wiretaps to end up in court

What Our Customers Say?
Absolutely great at what they do! Helpful advice regarding the various available options from the start, while always taking my budget into consideration. Very friendly and professional at all times. I definitely wouldn't need to recommend anyone else!
I chose this company firstly because they offered me a good quote for a big job. Very friendly and helpful in dealing with my telephone enquiry from the beginning. Fitted double glazed windows in all 4 rooms of my grandmother's house within 3 days, in a very professional and understanding manner. The windows are great quality and absolutely worth the money, job has been complete to a very high standard.
They told me a serviceman would arrive within 30mins as mentioned to me on both website and over the phone, but he arrived even quicker! The locksmith fixed my faulty back door lock without having to replace it. They even cut me a spare key on the spot! If I ever happen to need a locksmith again, I definitely have one to call. Would definitely pass on my recommendations!
My house key broke inside the lock on my front door as I turned it. They arrived within 30mins and said that this was due to both key and lock being quite old, they recommended a whole new lock which I am now very happy with, much more secure AND looks great. A great service, polite and professional assistance at all times.
For weeks I tried to repair a leak coming from the base of my toilet with fillers, duct tape, you name it, I tried it! It was only until after the job was finished that I realised I had been wasting my time! Plumber was very courteous and polite. Along with arriving precisely on time, the job was finished on the same day! I wish I had called them sooner!
Provided an exceptionally professional and well mannered service. Work was finished on the same day and the serviceman was very efficient. I would strongly recommend them.

The Cubs minor's report for Sunday, August 12.
The AZL Cubs took a 6-1 lead early, but lost a heartbreaker 10-8, giving up five in the seventh. Albert Almora continued to impress going 2-for-3 with a double, one RBIs, and two runs scored. Carlos Penalver and Alberto Mineo each had two hits with Penalver hitting a double and driving a run in. Garrett Schlect and Trevor Gretzky each had a hit with Schlect knocking one in. Jacob Rogers and Yasiel Balaguert also drove in a run. Ryan McNeil started, giving up one run on two hits, while striking out two in two innings. Jin-Young Kim struck out two and gave up two unearned runs. After Arturo Maltos-Garcia gave up a run in his one inning the game really took a turn. Corbin Hoffner took the loss, but didn't get any help giving up six unearned runs on seven hits in 1.2 innings. Jasvir Rakkar recorded the last four outs not allowing a baserunner and striking one out. The Cubs need to be better defensively as they gave up eight unearned runs on Sunday.
Salem Keizer scored five in the seventh and held on to beat Boise 10-9. Justin Amlung started for the Hawks pitching the first two innings allowing one run on three hits and striking out one. Michael Heesch gave up two runs in his two innings of work. James Pugliese was not very good on Sunday giving up seven runs, five earned on eight hits in just 2.2 innings. Matt Iannazzo gave the Hawks a chance getting the final seven outs not allowing a run and striking out two. Boise had a few nice nights at the plate on Sunday. Xavier Batista was 2-for-4 with a two home runs and five RBIs. Wilson Contreras also got into the fun going 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs. Marco Hernandez also had two hits and Stephen Bruno went 3-for-5. We have come to expect great things from Dan Vogelbach, but tonight was not his night as he went 0-for-5. Boise will look to get back on track in their next one.
After beating Beloit yesterday Peoria dropped one today losing 6-5. Zeke DeVoss was 2-for-4 with two RBIs, a run scored, and a stolen base, his 34th of the season. Wes Darvill had his second nice game in a row going 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Pin-Chieh Chen and Dustin Geiger each had a hit and drove in a run a piece. Our nightly Jorge Soler watch was back in effect as he went 1-for-3 with a walk. After his outstanding outing earlier in the week Starling Peralta was back on the mound on Sunday. He pitched six innings allowing six runs, three earned on five hits and five walks. Pete Levitt pitched the final two innings, striking out two and not allowing a run. Soler and the Chiefs will be back in action against the Snappers tomorrow.
Daytona was cancelled once again on Sunday.
The Tennessee Smokies pitching staff was the story in this one beating Huntsville 4-0. In his first start Yoannis Negrin pitched great throwing five innings giving up no runs on one hit and striking out four. Zach Rosscup and Casey Weathers combined to pitch the next 2.2 innings and Frank Batista recorded his 21st save striking out two in 1.1 innings. A big congrats to Justin Bour as he drove in two runs on one hit bring his RBI total to 100. Junior Lake went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Logan Watkins had a nice night going 1-for-2 with three walks, three runs scored, and two stolen bases. Matt Szczur and Jae-Hoon Ha each had a hit of their own. We'll see if the Smokies can keep it going.
In a continuation from Saturday Iowa hung on to beat Las Vegas 10-8 in game one. Greg Rohan was 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Dave Sappelt added three hits of his own, including two doubles and a triple. He also scored two runs and drove two in. Blake Lalli has been getting some more playing time and has been doing quite well as he added two hits of his own, including a home run and two RBIs. Jeff Frazier and Brian Esposito each had two hits with Frazier knocking in three. The Cubs had to use a lot of pitchers in this one as Casey Coleman had to leave early and the game was called when winning pitcher Esmailin Caridad was on the mound when the game was called Saturday. Blake Parker, Marcus Hatley and Jay Jackson combined to pitch the next 3.2 innings before giving the ball to Jairo Asencio. Asencio closed out game one recording his second save.
Iowa dropped game two to Las Vegas losing 3-2 in a seven inning game. Frankie De La Cruz started and took the loss giving up all three runs on five hits in five innings. He also struck out seven and walked four. In his return to Iowa Scott Maine pitched the final inning of this one. Alfredo Amezaga was 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI. Blake Lalli and Diory Hernandez each had two hits of their own in game two. Greg Rohan added a hit and knocked in a run, his 13th since being in Iowa. It's good to see Iowa get the split in this one.
Thanks for Reading,

The New England Revolution announced today that defender Darrius Barnes has re-signed with Major League Soccer to play for the Revs. Per MLS and club policy, terms of the deal were not released.
Barnes, 23, is in his second season with the Revolution. One of the league's top first-year players in 2009, Barnes became just the second rookie in league history to play every minute of every game, and he was the only field player to do so last year. Drafted in the third round (40th overall) in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, Barnes was one of the Revolution's starting central defenders in his first season.
In addition to his 30 starts in MLS regular-season action, Barnes also started all seven of the Revolution's outside matches, including U.S. Open Cup, SuperLiga and MLS Cup Playoffs.
"Darrius had a tremendous rookie season last year," Revolution Vice President of Player Personnel Michael Burns said. "It's a great compliment to his abilities that he was able to come into MLS and play every minute of every game. It's a difficult enough feat for established players, let alone first-year players."
The Revolution is scheduled to open the 2010 season on the road against the LA Galaxy on Saturday, March 27, at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The Revs are set to open their 2010 home slate on Saturday, April 10, when they host Toronto FC. Visit revolutionsoccer.net for more information.

What is Twisted?
Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python and licensed under the open source MIT license.
Code Examples
Twisted makes it easy to implement custom network applications. Here's a TCP server that echoes back everything that's written to it:
from twisted.internet import protocol, reactor class Echo(protocol.Protocol): def dataReceived(self, data): self.transport.write(data) class EchoFactory(protocol.Factory): def buildProtocol(self, addr): return Echo() reactor.listenTCP(1234, EchoFactory()) reactor.run()
Learn more about writing servers, writing clients and the core networking libraries , including support for SSL, UDP, scheduled events, unit testing infrastructure, and much more.
Twisted includes an event-driven web server. Here's a sample web application; notice how the resource object persists in memory, rather than being recreated on each request:
from twisted.web import server, resource from twisted.internet import reactor class HelloResource(resource.Resource): isLeaf = True numberRequests = 0 def render_GET(self, request): self.numberRequests += 1 request.setHeader("content-type", "text/plain") return "I am request #" + str(self.numberRequests) + "\n" reactor.listenTCP(8080, server.Site(HelloResource())) reactor.run()
Learn more about web application development, templates and Twisted's HTTP client.
Here's a simple publish/subscribe server, where clients see all messages posted by other clients:
from twisted.internet import reactor, protocol from twisted.protocols import basic class PubProtocol(basic.LineReceiver): def __init__(self, factory): self.factory = factory def connectionMade(self): self.factory.clients.add(self) def connectionLost(self, reason): self.factory.clients.remove(self) def lineReceived(self, line): for c in self.factory.clients: c.sendLine("<{}> {}".format(self.transport.getHost(), line)) class PubFactory(protocol.Factory): def __init__(self): self.clients = set() def buildProtocol(self, addr): return PubProtocol(self) reactor.listenTCP(1025, PubFactory()) reactor.run()
You can test this out by opening two terminals and doing
telnet localhost 1025 in each, then typing things.
More Protocols
Twisted also supports many common network protocols, including SMTP, POP3, IMAP, SSHv2, and DNS. For more information see our documentation and API reference.

'I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy, Again'
Round 2 of Jimmy Kimmel's cruel Halloween prank.
Previously: 2011 Edition
[jimmy kimmel live]
12 comments:
These kids are all brats...except for the one in the Hulk shirt, he was cute cause he didn't really freak out and throw a fit like the rest...
- November 3, 2012 at 7:21 AM
and the last couple one's who were like "oh well..." they were obviously raised right.
- November 3, 2012 at 7:23 AM
Aww, those last three made me cry. Absolutely adorable!
Their parents should be really proud.
- November 3, 2012 at 7:56 AM
Oh, come ON, people. Just because a kid throws a hissy fit doesn't mean they were raised poorly. Tell me about a kid that has never thrown a fit, and I'll show you a parent who is lying to you about it. Especially considering that at that age, losing your Halloween candy is a catastrophic event. As for those last three, kids come in all temperaments, each as fickle as the next. Any one of those kids could have had the same forgiving reaction as the last three if you caught them at the right time.
Ask your parents about the most memorable tantrum *you* threw when you were small, and get off your high horse.

Same with me.... Jimmy Kimmel should bring those last three kids to the show live and give them with lots more candy....

The last little girl was just utterly, melt-your-heart, adorable.
- November 3, 2012 at 5:01 PM
- Sammy said...
You have to remember they weren't so upset because the parents ate some of their sweets, it's more because they actually went out and worked hard for that candy, and THEN it got taken away from them.
- November 3, 2012 at 8:02 PM
Jimmy Kimmel is a very, very sick man who reflects a part of American culture that is truly disturbing ... glee at inflicting emotional pain on others thoughtless of future ramifications.
- November 4, 2012 at 1:23 AM
- AppleOutsider.de - Sebastian P said...
Right. Because taking candy (or something else) away from your kids is something you never ever did to your kids.
Self righteous much?
- November 4, 2012 at 5:45 AM
There's a difference between taking candy from a kid because they'll eat too much and be sick/hyperactive, and going out with them while they dress up and collect it...and then telling them you took it all and ate it.
What sort of example is that?
And as a -joke-?
Sorry, I'm not one of the self-righteous brigade. I believe in discipline for kids, etcetera. But I don't believe in being a dick to kids that look to you for their role model, the person they can trust. For what, three minutes of fame?
- November 4, 2012 at 2:37 PM
- AppleOutsider.de - Sebastian P said...
I'm sorry but isn't your first half sentence usually the direct result of the rest of it?
I understand what your point might be but again I have to underline the basic principle of parenting: taking things away (instead of "corporal punishment").
You can't tell me that it isn't common in today's day and age where we don't hit our kids anymore that the most "cruel" thing to do is take something away from your kid and _pretend_ that they won't get it back, because telling them that they will get it back later would have to less of an impact.
What happens here is common. And the irony is that "A Grandfather" most likely instead of punishing his kids by taking things away simply gave them a swift beating as punishment.
- November 4, 2012 at 2:46 PM
Sounds like you're voting for Romney, then.

It might seem as if there's a convenience store on every street corner in the Pikes Peak region. 7-Eleven dominates the market with dozens of stores, while Loaf 'N Jug and Circle K are among chains with multiple stores.
Even so, more locations are on the way as convenience store chains see continued opportunities for expansion in high-growth areas of the region, and as time-strapped consumers continue to clamor for the quick, in-and-out service that convenience stores offer:
• Dallas-based 7-Eleven, which has roughly 50 area stores, says three to four more are planned this year and another five to six are coming in 2013. Among the new sites: A former Bennigan's restaurant near Academy Boulevard and North Carefree Circle will be razed to make way for a store, while another location is targeted on Woodmen Road, west of Marksheffel Road.
• Loaf 'N Jug, an arm of the Kroger grocery chain that owns Kings Soopers, has about 20 stores. Another store is planned southeast of Northgate Boulevard and Voyager Parkway on the Springs' far north side.
• Circle K, based in suburban Phoenix and with about 20 locations in the area, plans a store on the city's northeast side, at Tutt Boulevard and North Carefree.
• Midwest-based Kum & Go has aggressively entered Colorado Springs with plans to build 20 to 25 stores over five years. Its first location opened in May at Academy and Vickers Drive. Stores are under construction east of Interstate 25 and InterQuest Parkway, west of Powers Boulevard and Woodmen Road and at Powers and North Carefree, among other locations.
• San Antonio-based Valero, which operates corner stores under the Valero and Diamond Shamrock names, has about 30 area locations. A spokesman said the company plans no additional stores in the area, but occasionally looks to remodel and expand existing locations.
"They sell time," Jeff Lenard, a National Association of Convenience Stores spokesman in suburban Washington, D.C., said of the popularity of the stores. "When they started back in the 1920s, they sold staple items like milk and bread and eggs after the groceries closed at 5. Over time, what they have sold has changed, but they (continue) to sell time. It's get them in, get them out, get them on their way, and do it without a hassle.
"We are becoming more time-stressed and time is money," he added. "And people will give you money if you give them time."
There are about 150,000 convenience stores nationwide, Lenard said. With a U.S. population of roughly 311 million, that means there's one store for nearly every 2,100 people.
Using that ratio, the Springs-area's 2010 population of about 634,000 could accommodate nearly 300 convenience stores — meaning there's room for growth.
States such as Colorado and cities such as Colorado Springs — with rising populations of young people and outdoor enthusiasts — are prime targets for convenience store chains, Lenard said.
"You're talking about people that just want an energy bar or a bottle of water or whatever," he said. "Whether they're in their car or on their bike, stores are where people are."
That's why several new convenience stores are going up in fast-growing parts of the Pikes Peak region that have been relatively under served up to now, said Mark Useman, a retail specialist with Sierra Commercial Real Estate in Colorado Springs who has represented Kum & Go in its local land acquisitions.
"We've had decent growth in our city, and there are areas of the city that haven't seen the expansion or growth of these convenience stores in the last four or five years because of the slowdown of our economy," Useman said.
Kum & Go evaluated several markets before deciding to enter Colorado Springs, Useman said. The family-owned chain, based in West Des Moines, Iowa, likes secondary cities where it believes it can have an impact, he said.
7-Eleven has sought to expand in markets where it already has large numbers of successful locations, while also acquiring existing stores in markets that are near areas where 7-Eleven operates, said spokeswoman Margaret Chabris.
The chain, a wholly owned subsidiary of a Japanese retail conglomerate, has nearly 48,000 stores worldwide, according to its website; 7-Eleven opened more than 600 stores last year in the U.S. and Canada, and expects to open another 630 this year, Chabris said.
"We're on one of the biggest accelerated growth strategies I've seen in quite some time," she said. "You will see more 7-Eleven stores. What we have found is that when there are more 7-Eleven stores in a geographic area or our market area, people are more comfortable. They know what you have to offer. They can count on you being open. It increases sales for all the stores because people just know what to expect."
At 7-Eleven, customers have come to expect familiar products, such as the popular frozen Slurpee drink that has its own website and Facebook page; 24/7 store hours; and promotional campaigns for products that are often tied into movies or television shows.
7-Eleven also prides itself on a sophisticated retail information system that lets store operators track inventory to determine what's selling and what's not — allowing them to stock particular items, and their quantity, to fit a particular store and its location, Chabris said.
"In the past decade or two, we have had a real laser-like focus on what the consumer and customer wants," she said.
Kum & Go is hoping to grab some of those customers. Its Colorado Springs stores are 5,000 square feet each and built on 1.5-acre sites — buildings and parcels that are larger than its stores in other markets and its rivals in the Pikes Peak region. Stores have full kitchens, while fuel pumping areas have more room for motorists, Useman said.
"They cook fresh food," he said of Kum & Go. "They are coming in with a different prototype and should take some of the pie away from the other stores."
But even as convenience stores expand, they also face challenges.
Convenience stores fight a perception that their prices are much higher than their rivals. It's true prices can be more, Lenard said, but convenience stores have high real estate costs to go along with big electricity bills that result from coolers and freezers for cold foods and drinks. Also, because their stores are smaller, they can't buy products as cheaply as larger groceries, Lenard said.
Still, milk, soda fountain drinks and other items are competitively priced when compared with other retailers, he said. And price isn't as much of an issue for some customers — even in a slumping economy — if they have a need they want to fill in a hurry.
"You don't think about your stock portfolio when you're thirsty, you get something to drink," he said. "And when you're hungry, you get something to eat, you don't worry about the economy. So, it's more impulse items. A few bucks here to solve a need or to reward yourself doesn't seem so bad in the scheme of things."
Meanwhile, convenience store chains aren't just competing against each other; they're also fighting larger groceries and, increasingly, Walgreens and other drug stores that sell milk, soda and food items, Lenard said. Even discount dollar stores in some parts of the south are selling cigarettes, he said.
Convenience stores also wrestle with changes in consumer buying habits when it comes to two longtime profit makers: gas and tobacco sales.
Soaring gas prices have driven motorists to seek the cheapest gas they can find, even if it means saving a penny or two. Not only do convenience stores compete with service stations, but with grocery chains whose loyalty programs reward consumers with additional savings on gas. Profits on gas sales are only 3 cents per gallon to begin with, Lenard said.
Meanwhile, tobacco sales are down because fewer people are smoking.
"Your two big traffic drivers are facing a tough road," Lenard said.
That's why Springs-area consumers are likely to see more and higher quality food prepared the way they want it, and expanded drink items; food accounts for 23 percent of convenience store sales, while beverages are another 30 percent, Lenard said.
Despite those challenges, the overall state of the convenience store industry has been healthy; three of the last four years have been the most profitable on record for the industry as a whole, Lenard said.
"There are huge challenges when it comes to the future of fuel, the future of tobacco and all of the issues related to credit card fees. And not to forget competition," he said. "But if you can deliver what the customer wants and solve their needs, and do it fast, you can do very well."

If you've made a New Year's resolution to diet, lose weight, cut back, or anything of the sort, TURN BACK NOW! I guarantee these will kill any diet plan! These little bits of heaven pack a whopping 361 calories each.
If you're still with me, get out your pastry bag and be prepared to enter bliss.
The husband wanted dessert tonight. But he couldn't figure out what sounded good to him, so he said "surprise me". I hate that. Just tell me what to make! So, off to the cookbooks I go. Eh, nothing sounded good. But wait! What's this? Cream Puffs? Hmmm....eclairs are basically long cream puffs with chocolate on top. So, Eclairs it is!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A family business on the Westside is getting a boost by Jaguars owner Shad Khan.
Khan offered the owner of Dieselogic, Omar Cueto, a $1 million loan to develop his business.
"I had to look over at my operations engineer, Syd, and I said, 'Can you pinch me?' Because I think I'm dreaming,'" Cueto said. "It was very interesting, it was a blessing, it was hard to believe and it took a while to settle in."
Dieselogic sells re-manufactured diesel injectors and fuel systems for the auto repair industry.
For the last five years, Dieselogic's mission has been developing a cutting edge technology that's more environmentally friendly. Since it has devoted all resources to developing the system, getting a traditional loan would have been difficult.
Thanks to a referral from the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, Cueto's invention is now in the spotlight.
"It's a big puzzle. Mr. Khan can see through that he sees the technology, sees we're a viable business, and as an entrepreneur to another he can certainly say, 'Hey, I think this is something that's very good for the community of Jacksonville,'" Cueto said.
The loan will also help the company to hire 20 employees over the next three years.
"We're hiring a wide range of different jobs. Mostly in the assembly manufacturing line we're hiring engineers, we're hiring some inventory specialists and inside and outside sales," Cueto said.
In the next four months, Dieselogic is moving from its current facility on Lenox Avenue to a new facility on Stockton Street.

Somewhat along the same lines as the Hollywood movie, Castaway (2000), Castaway on the Moon (2009) is a Korean take on being castaway on a deserted island. However, don't let this turn you off, this Korean adaptation is pure genius.
Mr. Kim, giving up on life after many failures, decides to take his own life by jumping off a bridge into the Han River in Seoul. However, his attempt at taking his on life fails, and he finds himself washed up on a "무인도" (literally "no person island") in the middle of the Han River. As one would expect, he tries with all his might to escape... at first. But after many failed attempts, he finally comes to enjoy his new freedom. He starts to make full use of all the trash that has accumulated on the island to make himself at home.
No one knows he is there, save for one person: a neurotic shut-in girl in her early twenties who has an obsession with taking close up photos of the moon. From her apartment window across the river, she only allows herself to look at the moon with her telephoto lens camera, but one night she accidentally scans her camera past the island where she sees a message: HELP. In English. She becomes intrigued, and rather than taking photos of the moon, she changes her focus to following the life of Mr. Kim.
This Korean take on Castaway is, in my humble opinion, better than the Hollywood version. The plot is intriguing and the irony that he is alone in the middle of a metropolis is what makes this movie great. He learns to survive using the trash that we think nothing of. This plot line by itself would make for an interesting enough story, but then, the intrigue of the second character, a castaway of a different sort, holed up in her bedroom, afraid of being seen by the rest of the world really makes this movie. The idea that wanting to escape from the world can actually bring two people together is quite moving. Don't worry though, this is no tearjerker, the irony of the entire situation is enough to keep you chuckling throughout the entire movie.
Watching this with subtitles is, of course, best for those who don't speak Korean, but there is very little dialogue since both characters are alone in their own worlds. So, if you happen to pass this while flipping through channels, it may be worth watching even without subtitles. Most situations are pretty self explanatory, especially on the island, and so you may be able to follow the movie quite easily if you have just basic Korean skills.

Enterprises are snapping up flash storage to solve IO bottlenecks in their infrastructure. But they can easily screw up tidy and controlled overall application workload management software by placing flash performance silos outside the controlled infrastructure they have relied upon. Sanbolic is hoping to attract this messy crowd by updating its app workload management software to take account of flash, in a partnership with Fusion-io.
Enterprise workloads running on a variety of physical and virtual servers, hypervisors and storage arrays are often looked after by a data management software layer, like Sanbolic's Melio, that provides common facilities across these disparate pieces of the overall enterprise IT platform. The introduction of SSD and flash storage in the form of flash arrays, server-side flash and flash inside servers upsets this comparatively tidy applecart.
Sanbolic has introduced a new module to its Melio software, a Latency Targeted Allocator (LTA), which is, obviously, aware of the latency advantages of flash at various locations in the IT stack, such as external arrays, server-side and inside servers. It means that customers can continue to run their Melio data management "soft SAN" with its data and volume management capabilities, including:
- Software RAID stack
- Rapid resource provisioning
- Snapshots
- Disaster recovery (DR)
- Quality of service (QoS)
- Storage live migration.
Melio is a workload-, hypervisor- and hardware-agnostic offering. The resulting solution enables customers to consolidate, protect and manage physical and virtual workloads, enabling a more agile, efficient and scalable shared cluster of business critical applications across private and public clouds. It can add RAID and high-availability (HA) where point flash products lack them, and prevent the single point of failure that can be characteristic of server-side flash. The firm says its product can help enterprises enjoy a flash performance kick without having to give up desired data protection and availability standards.
The LTA-enhanced Melio product provides:
- multi-workload, multi-hypervisor and multi-site support for flexibility;
- increased application availability through active-active access to critical data, independent of the underlying storage hardware;
- ability to dynamically provision storage, data-protection levels and QoS to ensure consistent application performance and align with user-defined policies; and
- centralised management of resources to improve utilisation and reduce storage-related costs and complexity.
Momchil Michailov
Tyler Smith, alliances VP at Fusion-io, said: "Sanbolic's Melio LTA module offers powerful HA and management features, so we are pleased to collaborate to ensure customers can select … Fusion-io to power Melio." Anything that gets Fusion-io flash products into the enterprise IT market is grist to Tyler's mill.
Momchil Michailov, co-founder and CEO of Sanbolic, said: "The addition of the LTA module into Sanbolic's Melio data management platform will revolutionise how system, application and database administrators architect their data centres. It will allow them to ensure high-availability and eliminate the inherent single points of failure of server-side flash storage."
Sanbolic's Melio with LTA is now generally available and has a suggested retail price of $9,600, which includes one year of support. ®

Hi Upasika,
Thanks for making this wonderful effort so far. And thanks too for providing the cultural context of the time this Soul was born into. And, because of that, you are so right in pointing out the specific nature of the family of birth for this Soul: the economic conditions. Since you have rightly pointed this out let's say for all others doing work on this thread that this Soul was born into the 20% that had the economic means to discover, actualize, themselves in a more or less independent way.
Also you wrote this: "With Pluto trine his PPP he"... of course you meant trine the Soul's N.Node and Uranus as well .........
Excellent EA work thus far Upasika ...

Hi Rad and the rest of the group-
Today I had (for the first time) some sort of anxiety attack. My brother told me, that even though the symptones were not the exact same as for him, that what I had was an panic stress attack, which actually makes sense because I have felt extremely pressured lately. It felt like my chest was involuting itself repeteadly for about 10 seconds and the resulting schock to my system lasted for about 90 minutes (mostly like a feeling of feeling very weak and a litle bit dissy). I will try to participate, but just wanted you to know Rad that I might not be able to post anything at this time.
God/ess Bless,
Hi Henrik,
Sounds like you may have angina happening. Thanks for letting us know and certainly hope all settles down for you. Please keep us informed as you can as all of us here care about you Henrik.

Sorry Rad, exactly right, I did mean that (PPP is by definition always an opposition) - I've corrected it.

The Messenger!
Pluto in Pisces in the 3rd House
With Pluto in the 3rd in Pisces, this is a soul with a wild and vivid imagination, one who has experimented with various thoughts and ideas over time and who has collected vast combinations of information for lifetimes that his mind is now putting together in his final chapter of this series in his Soul book, ruler of his 3rd house Pluto in Pisces is Neptune in Sag in the 12th balsalmic to Saturn whose mind in ways transcends usual limits and who is able to travel to far away dimensions with his thoughts, where there are no borders or boundaries. He would find comfort and security in these inner travels as the ongoing mystery sent him searching for answers to some of life's biggest questions. He would have been a Soul who would forever be asking questions such as, "Why life, why death, why this way and not that?" He would question pre-exiting beliefs and would have an investigative nature, challenging conventional thought. He would want to know how the WHOLE of the NATURAL world connected, Pluto in Pisces in the 3rd, ruler Neptune in Sag in the 12th. He is a Soul who would always be searching and seeking answers to the bigger picture questions and have a spiritual/cosmological focus or bent with respect to his inner ponderings with Pluto being in Pisces, also New Phase conjunct Jupiter in Pisces as well as being balsalmic to Mercury in Pisces. He had a natural need to explore many avenues, to consider all things before coming up with his bottom line blue print. He was a natural Philosopher, Pluto in the 3rd in Pisces conjunct Jupiter, ruler Neptune in Sag in the 12th conjunct Saturn in Sag.
He would make for a wonderful storyteller, a Soul who is naturally idealistic and hopeful and who perhaps at a younger age might exaggerate or fabricate the truth in his storytelling in order to stimulate interest and intrigue. The man Jesus had a stellium in Pisces in the 3rd, obviously at a different stage of evolution, but he was known to speak in parables and metaphors, he would speak in ways that dissolved the limits of words, where there were no lines or limitations within where the meaning of his message could be found. The emotional, spiritual and cosmological message in his teachings went far beyond what the mind could access to the point of penetrating other systems allowing for a greater understanding to permeate the consciousness. I feel this Soul would have had similar capacities to grasp concepts and realms of awareness, and to integrate his own understanding of the larger dimensions and intricacies in life and it was this life and this stage of his evolution which brought him to a key evolutionary gate, well into the 3rd stage individuated where he would need to take what he has observed and proven for himself and convince the world at large.
South Node in Taurus in the 5th, ruler Venus in Aries in the 3rd
Fortunately for him, he was born into a family, South Node in Taurus in the 5th, who had the resources and the financial wherewithal to allow him the freedom to actualize his ideas. He would have had the luxury for formal education and for whatever he needed to explore his intellectual instinct. The discoveries that this Soul may have had would have been linked in some way to land, and land formations, landscapes and life on earth as we know it, someone who studies our literal survival, South node in Taurus, and with the North Node in Scorpio in the 11th, this literally translates into the scientist studying the evolution of our species. He would have far reaching potential to share this information and findings with others and also to become well known and ultimately famous for his research. Pluto in the 3rd in Pisces, ruler Neptune in Sag balsalmic to Saturn in Pisces in the 12th. Also South Node in the 5th in combination connects with being well known and fame.
His Soul's greatest hurdle would be experienced when addressing his own fixed beliefs perhaps due to being spoon fed via certain religions from the past, South Node in Taurus in the 5th inconjunct his Neptune and Saturn balsalmic in Sag in the 12th house. He may have initiated some of these intellectual uncoverings in the past and could have been locked up for it or labeled crazy. There very well may have been harsh persecution and punishment for something he could see and very well prove but others simply did not have capacity to grasp for themselves or because his beliefs and findings challenged a world of security for consensus thinkers. Pluto in the 3rd, ruler Neptune in Sag in the 12th balsalmic conjunction to Saturn, it went far beyond where they felt it safe to go. Because of having lifetimes where he attempted to bring this forward and being locked up for it or silenced, Mercury in Pisces balsmalmic to Pluto square Neptune and Saturn in the 12th in Sag. He would have hidden from his truth, perhaps even hidden withing the church, or denied these truths in certain lives in order for his own survival to be allowed. He must now access the courage to bring this forward and to confront mainstream society once his observations were put in writing, regardless of the consequences. The ruler of his South Node in Taurus is Venus in Aries in the 3rd and is conjunct his North Node of Venus as well as his North Node of Mars, the courage to speak and to write the truth of what he has discovered and is inconjunct the North Node and Uranus in Scorpio, ruler Pluto in the 3rd in Pisces. You can see this old fear for his family's survival as a result of patriarchal out lash of what he might spearhead, publish or pursue with the South Node in Taurus in the 5th inconjunct Saturn/Neptune in the 12th, with the ruler of South Node, Venus in Aries in the 3rd, the ruler Mars is in Libra in the 10th and squares a second house moon in Cap.
Being that he was born during a time in England when the thrust of church and organized religion was paramount for society's sense of stability, he no doubt would have been heavily influenced by the traditions of the church for lifetimes well before this as well seen with the ruler of his Pluto in Pisces, Neptune, balasmic to Saturn in his 12th house. He may have even had lifetimes in the church as a clergyman or priest, studying various religious texts to prepare him for this life. His South Node in Taurus suggests monastic lives possibly also lifetimes as a monk, South Node in Taurus in the 5th, ruler Venus in Aries in the 3rd. The monk past may also be seen with Aries on the 5th house cusp where his South Node sits, ruler Mars in Libra in the 10th squaring a second house Moon in Cap. Also Pluto in the 3rd in Pisces, balsamic to Mercury in Pisces, ruler Neptune balsalmic to Saturn in the 12th. Certainly he would be born through a family where religion was deeply embedded seen in some of those same signatures. He would naturally have spiritual stirrings with Pluto in Pisces in the 3rd ruler Neptune in Sag in the 12th but his Soul's mission would be to challenge consensus religion and the limits within this mind set. Also this disillusionment of the idea of a perfect God that he would personally experience as a result of his research and practical proving, natural discoveries were made that would challenge the texts written about this miracle maker. This evolutionary crossover from his spiritual intellect to following his natural intuition can be seen with Mercury balsalmic to Pluto in Pisces on one side and Jupiter New Phase to Pluto in Pisces on the other, in the 3rd house. This would be the life where this great leap would be made.
He is a Soul who is so far advanced intellectually that he would always feel like an outcast or an alien, always miles ahead of the current way of thinking which is seen with Uranus on the cusp of his 3rd house where Pluto sits but also the ruler Uranus, being conjunct the North Node in Scorpio in the 11th house. But what he has always inwardly known and has to come to terms with through his own observations of natural law is that God has written the truth within these laws of nature. Pluto in the 3rd, ruler Neptune in Sag making a balsalmic conjunction to Saturn in Sag, truths that do not require beliefs, there was proof in the observations. Aquarius on the 3rd house cusp where Pluto resides, ruler Uranus in Scorpio conjunct the North Node in the 11th. Whereby this life he would need to confront these perceived limits in himself and then be a voice, as in a Messenger for others so they too can confront their own limits, and extend beyond where they have been, to consider something that may at first appear radical and even outrageous. Again, Aquarius sits on his 3rd house cusp where Pluto in Pisces resides, the ruler Uranus in conjunct his NN in Scorpio. His work had the potential to be that light of understanding for others, so they can then move forward in their life with clarity versus staying deep in the dark of denial.
This life would demand that he confront certain ideals that are linked with his prior understanding of God and he would ultimately become terribly disillusioned by this hope when coming to terms with the reality that life for the Soul does have limits, Pluto making a disseminating square to Saturn and Neptune in Sag and those true limits are experienced with the reality of death where no one can be saved by a miracle or their own imagination. It would require a certain sort of cataclysm or Soul shock to strip away any of his those lingering fixed clingings regarding his beliefs, South Node in Taurus in the 5th, North Node in Scorpio in the 11th conjunct Uranus, ruler of his 3rd house where Pluto resides. There is heartache shown in this chart linked with his children and their own survival seen with South Node in Taurus in the 5th, ruler Venus in Aries in the 3rd inconjunct the North Node and Uranus in Scorpio, Uranus, being the ruler of the house where Pluto sits as well as Venus, the ruler of his South node. This may have been caused due to weakened immune system. Pisces/Neptune and no amount of prayer or readily available miracle could save them. It was a time when viruses were mutating quickly and medicine had not reached the advanced stages to save the immuno- compromised. You can see with the 3rd house stellium that he also may have gotten swept away by the grief and been having hallucinations or visions of his dead child(ren)communicating with the other side. This life would have forced him to confront his darkness which equals his own limits and inability to save what he loved the most, to understand and to live the concept firsthand, the survival of the fittest.
This would be a life however where the traditional journey would end, Uranus, the ruler of his 3rd house cusp where Pluto resides is not only conjunct his North Node in Scorpio, it is STATION. Also Pluto in Pisces, ruler Neptune in Sag balsalmic to Saturn in Sag in the 12th.This Soul would go beyond what is written in formal texts such as the bible and bring a radically new yet natural ancient teaching to this world. This seems as if it would create great inner torture as he undoubtedly tried this before and great trauma resulted. These traditional tests that once may have provided him great comfort and offered the same to most people of that time, yet he knew that whatever it was that he must bring forth could potentially shock the world, blowing them away, forcing all humans to bring analytical and cosmological attention to their own beliefs, to pull the rug out from underneath their own perceived sense of security.
Pluto Polarity in Virgo in the 9th, North Node in Scorpio in the 11th, ruler Pluto in the 3rd in Pisces
He desired to prove where the roof of religion stops and a vast new understanding of existence extends. His beliefs enforced others to look at themselves and to self examine what is broken in their belief structure with the Pluto Polarity Point being in Virgo in the 9th. This includes the need to eliminate all things that do not feel inherently true. This Soul in his life was in the process of eliminating all the gathered information and ideas that he may have learned and collected from other proclaimed thought leaders or books, that for him did not add up, he would purge and discard all that did not naturally feel true or contribute to his version of truth. He may have had a teacher, Jupiter in Pisces in the 3rd conjunct his Pluto, that he shared similar beliefs with yet needed to break away from and pioneer his own work. Venus, the ruler of the South Node in the 5th in Taurus, is in Aries in the 3rd and it trines his Neptune and Saturn in Sagittarius. Jupiter in Pisces is in a new phase to Venus in Aries, a teacher he may have known for lifetimes where they connected with similar ideas and beliefs, perhaps traveled the world together Jupiter in the 3rd, yet the connection culminating in this life so this Soul can speed off ahead, North Node in Scorpio in the 11th conjunct Uranus. He chanelled all he had come to understand and funneled into a body of work that was able to peirce through all the illusions and pre-conceived ideas of others in history, Pluto Polarity in Virgo in the 9th.
His discoveries however created great fear in him, in particular how they would be received and how it would effect his family, Pluto in Pisces in the 3rd, squaring ruler Neptune and Saturn in Sag in the 12th. Would he locked up or killed for it? Would the projections of patriarchal beliefs/thinking of the time destroy his family? Also this Saturn is the ruler of his 2nd house Moon in Cap which squares Mars in Libra. knowing that to the world this would be received as radical and outrageous to the typical mind. Aquarius on the 3rd house cusp where his Pluto in Pisces sits, ruler Uranus in Scorpio conjunct his North Node. This suggests the anxiety and stress that came with these observations of natural laws as part of the price paid for this intellectual giant who was able to synthesize this knowledge and bring something so succinctly and powerfully to the planet. Scorpio as an archetype instinctually wants to take everything in life to the extreme. To challenge any and all perceived limits and a Soul who never set limits for himself. This seen with the ruler of his 3rd house cusp, Uranus in Scorpio in the 11th, conjunct the North Node in Scorpio, remembering that Pluto is the ruler for Scorpio in the 3rd in Pisces this suggests this Soul has the capacity for his ideas to become revolutionary, to transcend and blow past anything anyone has ever conjured up. That even upon his death Scorpio, and for generations following, his model and ground breaking work will have a way of continuing to challenge consensus minds, pushing the limits of those who dared to look deeply for this truth themselves.
North Node in the 11th, especially in Scorpio, with Uranus conjunct this North Node, for a 3rd stage individuated this takes the Soul to a penetrating extreme and equals a Soul who has come here to remove whatever binding forces in our society that exist that are preventing necessary growth and evolution. As Jeffrey wrote so poignantly "Uranus is always knocking on Saturn's door" and this Soul's intention was to bust a Saturn door down that was holding a history of false beliefs. Disillusionment, as this Soul already found for himself, will one day be the experience of many who insist on clinging to rigid religious ways.
This Soul undoubtedly felt a weighing sense of duty and responsibility for all he had collected over lifetimes, Saturn balsalmic to Neptune, Pluto's ruler, in the 12th that he must risk it all for these ideas and findings, ruler of his South Node in Taurus is Venus in Aries also conjunct his North Node of Venus as well as North Node of Mars, the ruler, and is inconjnuct his North Node and Uranus in Scorpio, to risk dying for these ideas. Pluto in the 3rd in Pisces, ruler Neptune in Sag making a balsalmic conjunction to Saturn in the 12th, this is the final curtain, truly a fated chart, North Node in Scorpio in the 11th conjunct stationary Uranus, ruler of the 3rd house cusp where Pluto resides. Also Neptune, the ruler of his Pluto is making a balasmic conjunctions to Saturn in the 12th in Sag to bring these observational teachings of natural law and order, these truths out into the known, a "freedom from the known" and the revelations of truth with proof, Scorpio, of science to substantiate these findings which can be witnessed and proven by all via natural observation, Uranus in Scorpio conjunct the North Node, ruler Pluto in Pisces in the 3rd conjunct Jupiter, ruler Neptune in Sag conjunct Saturn in Sag. His work brought and continues to bring the mental walls down, allowing for global transformation and the evolution of consciousness.
This Soul would die knowing his voyage here shook the world!

Hi Rad, and group
Here are my observations about the main evolutionay axis in this birthchart.
God Bless, Gonzalo
The Soul has been defined along many lifetimes by bottom-line desires to understand the nature of reality. This is skipped steps signature because of the Chiron square to the nodes, so both Pluto 3rd House and Pluto 9th House have been actualized in prior lifetimes, in ways which are not resolved or completed. The south node of Mercury is also square the nodes, with Mercury conjunct its own north node. So, the Soul has been flip-flopping between 3rd House Pisces and 9th House Virgo, ie. different approaches to understanding reality, different orientations to knowledge and truth, ie. linear thought or intuition, imagination and analysis. Same time, with the Nodal axis from houses 5th to 11th the Soul has been evolving its self-centered and subjective egocentric focus in order to gain objectivity in his quest for knowledge, which has created a need to confront all of its past illusions and errors, and to reformulate its prior understandings and overall approach to knowledge.
With natal Pluto being in the 3rd House in Pisces, the Soul has been defined along the 3rd stage individuated state by desires to understand everything, the total reality, from an intellectual, rational point of view. The Soul has desired to project itself to linearly understand the totality of life, to intellectually know the unknown. Thus, the individual has oriented to collect enormous amounts of information, facts, and observations from the environment. At the 3rd stage individuated, the individual would be a polymath, and with the south node being in Taurus, a naturalist or a physician, someone desiring to gather knowledge about nature (Taurus, 9th House, Virgo). The individual would be observing the immediate environment and would also travel to distant places in search of information about the natural world. (this is the birth signature of Charles Darwin, who also was in this very evolutionary state). In more distant past-lifetimes, the individual has been prey of illusions and beliefs about the nature of things, including religion (Pisces 3d House and Virgo 9th House), which then triggered in more recent lives the desire and need to subject every illusion, belief, and concept, to factual deductive and analytic reasoning. The experience of past errors or mistakes, based on beliefs or illusions, has been devastating for the individual, because the individual has been fundamentally convinced of what it thought to be true. The individual felt deeply disillusioned of its own intellectual capacities and the acquired knowledge, because the individual was so identified with this knowledge, these beliefs and illusions, and with its own capacities, at an egocentric level (South Node in Taurus in the 5th House).
A dynamic has existed in which the individual has been seeking confirmation of the pre-existing associations of meaning, this limiting the capacity to observe reality. The devastating experience of the unknown existing beyond the acquired knowledge intended to redirect the focus of inquiry in order for an exploration of the unknown within. One purpose of this has been to create a linear understanding of the inner reasons, desires and dynamics, which have served as the basis to create personal intellectual illusions: what the Soul has imagined to be factual reality.
Because the South Node is Taurus, with its ruler Venus being in Aries, and further the 5th House cusp being also in Aries, the sexual instinctive nature is strong, and the individual has created lies and illusions in the past in order to have its sexual needs met from a narcissistic and masturbatory point of view. Obtaining satisfaction of the sexual needs has been a confirmation of the own value, and dynamics of rivalry have existed with other males. The individual has used its intellectual powers in order to create illusions serving to attract women. So, there is a karma of lies linked with relationships (Venus inconjunct to North Node Scorpio) and an overall karma of using the intellect in devious ways, as a means to demonstrate or prove the validity of its own subjective point of view, dictated by narcissistic needs and desires, or to create whatever distortions of truth to serve these purposes (also Mercury 3rd House Pisces, ruler of the 7th House cusp, is Balsamic conjunct to Pluto; asteroid Kassandra is in Sagittarius squaring Pluto, and asteroid Achilles* is in the 5th House Taurus, conjunct the South Node).
With Chiron being square the nodes, in the 2nd House Aquarius, relative to the South Node in Taurus, and the North Node in Scorpio in the 11th House conjunct Uranus, there are deep wounds and unresolved traumas in the Soul's past, which are connected with survival of family members-children-and also the death of whole groups of people. The death of groups of people could have occurred in connection with plagues and contagious diseases, specially respiratory diseases (Chiron Aquarius, Uranus Scorpio conjunct North Node, Pluto polarity point in Virgo, the Pisces planets in the 3rd House). In these experiences the individual felt that it lacked the understanding and medical knowledge necessary to be of help, and its existing knowledge proved useless, inaccurate of irrelevant (in Darwin's case, he postponed his studies in medicine for the sake of investigating in natural sciences, geology and biology; in an intermediate period he studied theology). Other dynamic relates to compensating the futility and meaninglessness created by the impact of the unknown, by intensifying the desires for external knowledge, translating in desires to travel to distant places, thus creating experiences of being away from home, and when coming back finding that a loved one, probably a child, had died: Virgo in the 9th House, Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Pisces, South Node in the 5th House square Chiron in the 2nd House, with the south node of Chiron in the 4th House Aries square the Moon in the 2nd House Capricorn, Ceres in Pisces conjunct Pluto and Mercury (the ruler of the Pluto polarity point; Neptune/Saturn 12th House are Sagittarius and are inconjunct the South Node. So, there is a pattern of guilt based on not having the knowledge needed to be of help to the group, combined with guilt for not being at home for his family because of the desires to expand the pre-existing knowledge. This type of traumas is confirmed by the Moon being conjunct asteroid Orpheus, and asteroid Proserpina being Rx in the 8th House at 3° Leo, conjunct Isis, both squaring the nodes. Isis myth is about putting together knowledge, about loss and trauma in relationships creating fragmentation, and also relates to motherhood and to the death misteries. Proserpina is the roman Persephone connected to loss and grief in parenting and with Orpheus they are connected to loss in personal relationships and descent to the underworld. (Darwin experienced the devastating loss of a 10 years old daughter. Also his mother died when he was eight). A bottom-line intention of these experiences has been to liberate from the egocentric focus leading the way in this expansion, in order to allow for fundamental discovery to occur from within, versus external knowledge, and to allow being inwardly directed-Pisces, Taurus- in actualizing the individual's role in connection with knowledge. Relative to the evolutionary state of the individual, the Uranus/North node conjunction in Scorpio in the 11th House, with Chiron in Aquarius square the nodes, and conjunct Eris, and asteroids Hidalgo and Icarus, all square the nodes, indicate socio-political past-life traumas linked with liberation desires and rebelliousness of groups, acting to reform society based on ideas and ideals.
A defense operating based on avoidance from the own dynamics and the own subjectivity, alienation and detachment, have perpetuated compensation of the inner suffering by maintaining a fixity of the egocentric structure and a purposefulness that is linked to discovering and disseminating intellectual, scientific and philosophical knowledge, in which the Soul has desired to be acknowledged as special and 'superior' for his intellectual capacities and the vastness of his knowledge (South Node in the 5th House, ruled by Venus in the 3rd House Aries). This egocentric focus of course has implied a limitation in the knowledge forms themselves, and in the developmental state of the senses, because of the competing nature of Leo with Taurus archetypes.
The individual has needed to listen to his heart, ie. to become closer to himself, in order to dissolve the egocentric obsession to create linear order within the perceived external phenomena, and the perpetual need to look for factual evidence supporting the pre-existing conceptions. Not listening to his heart would translate in heart problems such as palpitations, arrhythmia, angina, and in panic attacks, as in Darwin's case: a consequence of running away from the inner pain and angst in face of the unknown within, the fear of having the own mental constructions dissolved.
Because of the fixity of the egocentric orientation limiting the cognitive dynamics, the individual has needed to create intense inner and outer confrontations of intellectual and philosophical nature. Basically, these have been confrontations with his own past ways of understanding reality or Nature, in some cases literally: his own theories as formulated in the past (3rd House Pluto being the Scorpio North Node ruler, and being septile the South Node). A problem has been that the individual has been too well equipped intellectually and has been able to win these confrontations (North Node Scorpio, Pluto in the 3rd House trine the South Node), this creating the need for a relative isolation for the individual's own confrontation with self (South Node in Taurus, ruled by Venus in Aries, Moon in the 2nd House Capricorn, North Node in the 11th House-a group of one). This has implied a limitation for the evolution of thought and investigation (south node of Mercury in Capricorn 2nd House, square the nodes). The septile between the South Node and Pluto in the 3rd House suggests that he would also meet other individuals who would be more intellectually evolved and would provide key information or knowledge.
Along the process of course the individual would be delivering leading-edge scientific knowledge and theories contributing to the advance of human understanding of Nature. The point from an EA point of view is the limitations of these knowledge and theories themselves, in how they reflect or not the Soul's inner experience, and how the individual is meant to evolve through and beyond the prior limitations. The trine between Pluto and the North Node demonstrates that the Soul is cooperating with the need for inner confrontations required in order to evolve these dynamics, equaling embracing the desires to change occurring, though, by means of these inner, intellectual and philosophical confrontations. And the outcome of this evolution would be observed in the same life of the individual. Some of the pre-existing limitations and resistance are based on the emphasis of deductive thought, versus inductive thought and intuition, translating into a relative difficulty to see the whole picture. The enormous amount of observations and details would be put together by means of linear thought, ie. trying to build a whole by means of parts, which is not possible in nature. Instead, parts can only make sense as parts of a whole. In Darwin's theory of evolution, this is reflected in that evolution occurs through 'natural selection' of the fittest individuals, without being able to explain how variation of the species occurs, and how it occurs in specific directions (orthogenesis), which can only be observed from the point of view of the whole species, and beyond, and not in individuals only. However, Darwin was able to introduce later concepts about evolution from a wider perspective, even referring to co-evolution of species as in the famous case of the orchids and the wasps and moths. The idea of orthogenesis had to be discarded because it implied theology (Pluto Pisces in the 3rd House). Also, Darwin's model based on natural selection allowing reproduction of the fittest, self instinctual gratification, and rivalry (an application of the own prior sexual/intellectual dynamics?). He dismissed Lamarck's view on development of latent potential in individuals and transmission, which is not evolutionary from the point of view of the individuals alone, but which creates an expanded basis for mating from the point of view of the species. However, the very idea of sexual selection based on gratification and pleasure serves to expand the basis for sex as only manifesting an instinct to reproduce. His theory relates to gradual evolution, however, there is also evolution which is not gradual (this can reflect his own desires to have a stable reality, and a repression of the past traumas). He could not explain the phenomenon of transmission, even though he was about to discover genetics (North Node in Scorpio).
With the Pluto polarity point being in the 9th House, the individual has needed to embrace a holistic perspective, in order to perceive the whole first, and then allow the parts to fall naturally in their places. Because it is in Virgo, this has required the individual to discriminate and separate intuited truth from pre-existing beliefs and errors. This also implies accepting and allowing truth to be revealed gradually, to become step-by-step closer to truth, versus desiring to know the whole truth all at once. Thus, it implies embracing desires to purify the nature of the own desires in connection with knowledge, and to purge the egocentric orientation and illusions of possessing truth or knowledge. The North Node being in the 11th House correlates with the need to embrace a fundamental objectivity and detached capacity for observation, versus desiring to have prior theories confirmed, and a fundamental need to liberate from egocentrism. This also reflects the intention to learn from the thought forms of others as containing other parts of the whole truth, and the potential for dynamics of collaboration and team work versus needing to elaborate knowledge alone. It also reflects the need for experimentation (which Darwin did). Also implied is the need to develop tolerance for paradox. Specifically in Darwin's case, the North Node in the 11th House in Scorpio reflects the potential to penetrate to deeper layers of phenomena in order to observe the evolutionary impulse operating at a molecular level, inside individuals and beyond individuals. This symbol reflecs the ongoing understanding of evolution as a collective phenomena, and at the level of multiplicities. Mentioned before the North Node being Scorpio reflects the need for inner and outer confrontations, with Pluto being in the 3rd House, with the thought forms delivered by the individual in the past, also, reflecting the need to still consider the relativity of the expanded understanding gained through the 9th House intuition, as an ultimate law of any knowledge form. The Scorpio North Node in the 11th House reflects too the need to objectify the nature of the Soul desires that are the basis for having reality arranged in whatever way, and for the existing associations of meaning and value (as an example, who are the 'fittest'? .. why the need for rivalry as a basis for the theory?). In combination these dynamics allow for a perpetual evolution and adaptation of the knowledge forms the individual is able to deliver for social benefit, without needing to be egocentrically identified with the own specialness, thus allowing a liberation in which the individual can balance work time with time out, for a cultivation of relationship with self and Soul discovery, which would lead the individual into the Spiritual state. Within personal relationships and sexual dynamics, the individual needs to embrace a fundamental honesty and objective and analytic orientation to understand its own sexual needs and how they are met, and to embrace desires to experience sexuality at an emotional, Soul level, and not only as a biological function or a source of self-gratification.

Emails: How State Department Secretly Approved Expanding Piece of Enbridge's "Keystone XL Clone"Read time: 6 mins
Steve Horn | April 20, 2015
By Steve Horn • Monday, April 20, 2015 - 03:58
DeSmogBlog has obtained dozens of emails that lend an inside view of how the U.S. State Department secretly handed Enbridge a permit to expand the capacity of its U.S.-Canada border-crossing Alberta Clipper pipeline, which carries tar sands diluted bitumen ("dilbit") from Alberta to midwest markets.
The State Department submitted the emails into the record in the ongoing case filed against the Department by the Sierra Club and other environmental groups in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. Collectively, the emails show that upper-level State Department officials hastened the review process on behalf of Enbridge for its proposed Alberta Clipper expansion plan, now rebranded Line 67, and did not inform the public about it until it published its final approval decision in the Federal Register in August 2014.
According to a March 17, 2014 memo initially marked "confidential," Enbridge's legal counsel at Steptoe & Johnson, David Coburn, began regular communications with the State Department on what the environmental groups have dubbed an "illegal scheme" beginning in at least January 2014.

Environmental groups have coined the approval process an "illegal scheme" because the State Department allowed Enbridge to usurp the conventional presidential permit process for cross-border pipelines, as well as the standard National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, which allows for public comments and public hearings of the sort seen for TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline.
Further, the scheme is a complex one involving Enbridge's choice to add pressure pump stations on both sides of the border to two pipelines, Enbridge Line 3 and Enbridge Line 67, to avoid fitting under the legal umbrella of a "cross-border" pipeline.
Hastening the approval process — and thus dodging both the conventional presidential permit and NEPA process — came up in a June 6, 2014 memo written by Coburn and his Steptoe co-counsel Josh Runyan. Enbridge's legal argument centered around ensuring profits for its customers "consistent with its obligations as a common carrier."

text: So this project had an interesting start. I was originally going to do a Ninja 650 offroader like here and here and here and here All cool builds but I wanted better rear suspension, so I bought a KTM 950 rear suspension and wheel from Frank Wheelbarrow on the forum. I then bought a wrecked Ninja 650 in NYC in February. Long story short, the Ninja was stolen, I had to turn it over to the police and lost my $1000. Live and learn I guess. So with my Ninja without a master, I thought the legend of Ronin was an appropriate title. I tried finding another Ninja and started to think about going to auctions, but a 2004 Yamaha FZ1 appeared in the flea market. I never gave it a moments thought but the wheels started turning and I thought I could make it work. I contacted Damifino but it was already sold. He called me a couple weeks later and said there were a few problems with the other buyer and lets make a deal. I met Steve today in Hagerstown MD and we did the deal. His bike has a little history so I'll try and do my best to make his memory a good one. The bike had a tweaked frame and some minor damage, but the good thing is that most of the bike is mint, and the parts I want are perfect. Oh and he had a spare frame with title I just started taking it apart, there's a lot of stuff on these bikes!!! But with that lot of stuff comes a lot of power. 140 hp, basically a detuned R1 motor, super reliable guys have easily hit 100k, and 26k valve adjustments!!! Here's the recipe: Stock FZ1 frame, motor and all associated electronics KTM 950 rear swingarm, shock, wheel and rear brake KTM 950 front WP48 forks, dual discs, front wheel (still looking for wheel BTW) I plan on redoing the subframe to lean it down like a HP2 That will call for relocating a bunch of electronics under the seat. The airbox takes up a lot of room there, not sure how that will all work out. Exhaust will remain the same for header, make keep the EXUP valve, may not, probably will. Can will be a carbon Arrow I picked up on ebay. I'll weld on bag mounts when I do the subframe. I am going to try and do a fiberglass ralley fairing like the kenaroo style. Maybe a KTM 950 headlight So you are probably asking why go through all the trouble to just make a 950, why not buy one? Had one, loved it. I wanted a project. I also wanted something not as maintenance intensive as the 950. I was really good with that bike but basic chores seemed to take hours. Plus no one else will have one and I can pretty much roll any bike out there I'm trying to keep the cost under $5000, I think that will be easy based on what I have spent and what I am budgeting for the final parts. Of course there will be stuff I hadn't anticipated but I'll work it out. I have been practicing with tubing and TIG welding, both important to projects like thus where you are altering what is there. Here's a CBR 600 fighter I am working on. Bending tubing with the JD2 is really nice. Problems: *******Steering bearings are going to require some thinking. here's my current thought. Run the YZ450 triples and conversion bearings along with the KTm 950 forks. I have done some measurements and it seems like it will work, The YZ forks and KTM forks are the same diameter, same distance center to center, and top triple to bottom triple. ******Swingarm is not centered. It fits between the frame and has 20mm of side play. After looking closely at the swingarm I thought I would need 10 mm spacers on each side, but then the countershaft and sprocket were way out. Damn. But then I shifted the swingarm all the way over to the left, so the 20mm space was on the right. Countershaft lines up perfectly and the wheel appears centered.:huh It was late and I'm tired so I'll look harder and do some measurements tomorrow but it looks like it will work perfectly. Oh and the swingarm pivot bolts are the same from KTM and Yamaha!!! So I can use factory Yamaha pivot and KTM bearings. That was a big relief. *******I was going to redo the subframe completely but I may just modify the existing one and the amount of crap that has to index off the molded underseat thingy is crazy. I will need to redo the shock mount as the 950 has a non linkage setup ******Radiator is pretty exposed *******Need to come up with case protection but that should be easy. Here's the teaser pics after about 8 hours of work. I gotta say, I think it looks pretty damn good so far. I can't wait to get the frame swapped over to the new one and get to work with the fun parts. Def. going to be ready for this summer. It's REALLY tall Course I just have it in mockup at this point and nothing has any weight on it. Plus the Yamaha YZ forks are taller than the KTMs.

Chris -- 2018-04-11
I'm reading The Epigenetics Revolution, a new book by the British scientist and science writer Nessa Carey. My eyes hardly blink when I come across the spellings "foetus," "haematology," "oestrogen" – the Canadian spelling DNA is fully methylated from centuries of exposure to multiple spelling regimes. However, when I found the sentence "there is a bit of 'wriggle-room'" on p. 149, I did blink. "Wiggle room" is what I would have said.
The question of whether the expression should be "wiggle room" or "wriggle room" has popped up on the net . Consensus on these sites seems to be that "wiggle room" is the more venerable of the two expressions. I did a bit of poking around and found that the consensus aligns with the facts. "Wiggle room" was used in the 1930s in a non-figurative sense ("plenty of wiggle-room for your toes") and as early as 1946 in a figurative sense ("The policy wiggle-room for local decisionmakers is remarkably small."). "Wriggle room" follows the same metaphorical arc, but traverses it later than "wiggle room," with the figurative sense not detectable in print until the 1960s. But "later" does not always mean "derived from." Whether "wriggle room" arose independently or whether it was an eggcornical corruption of "wiggle room" is anyone's guess.
"Wiggle room" continues to be the more popular of the two options. William Safire points out that "wriggle has not succeeded in dislodging the more limited, precise and less pejorative wiggle" and that the wiggle room:wriggle room ratio is 14:1. I don't know how Safire computed this ratio without Google Ngram, but Safire seems to have gotten his numbers right ().
"Wriggle" and "wiggle" are not historical cognates – they are frequentatives of two independent Teutonic verbs. The meanings of "wriggle" and "wiggle" have a lot of overlap, but there are differences: "wriggle" hints at a random motion, often one with some writhe or twist to it, while "wiggle" points the listener toward a more two-dimensional back-and-forth movement. When Theodore Roethke wrote his poem "I Knew a Woman," he probably had a "wriggle" motion in mind ("Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:" Read his lovely poem .).
While "wriggle room" is a debatable eggcorn, a switch in the opposite direction ("wriggle >> wiggle") is a better eggcorn candidate. The idiom "wriggle out of," meaning to contrive to avoid something, came into common use in the mid-1800s and peaked in popularity during the 1920s. About the time it peaked, the phrase "wiggle out of" began to be used in the same sense. It is possible that of "wriggle out of" represents, in part at least, its replacement by "wiggle out of." If "wiggle out of" is an eggcorn, it is a highly successful one: the COCA database suggests that the metaphorical uses of "wriggle out of" and "wiggle out of" have appeared in print with about the same frequency over the last decade.

Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
A great, detailed analysis.
I'd bet there are still other "wiggle room" variations out there we haven't covered. I found one: whittle room. If you have a tight fit and you whittle away at it a bit, you end up with some wiggle room. It's hardly popular; these instances are about the whole story:
I'm hearing from the Judge there's—there ought to be some whittle room on mileage and
surcharge for mileage beyond a certain amount.
http://www.co.kerr.tx.us/commcrt/minute … 438530.txt
also ther is some whittle room if you have lets say english and math tomorrow and english is your best subject
you will probably need a dremel to get the part of the stab that will still be stuck to the fuse out. taking as little out as possible to make sure the new one has some whittle room for a nice fit and STRAIGHT[;)]
