Article Title:
The Promise of Astrology
Date Published:
- by Jayj Jacobs
After food, sex, and politics, astrology is mankind's oldest fascination. We have always gone out at night and looked to the stars with awe and wonder. We looked for order and found the patterns of the constellations and the Signs of the Zodiac. As we wandered over the hills, reached peaks, and descended into valleys, we watched some of the stars strike out on their own, not following the prescribed order. We gave them a name that meant wanderer; we called them Planets and we matched their motion to our own.
Before bars and discos, even before cities, we went hunting by the light of the Full Moon and found both meat and meaning in the changing seasons. As we banded together for work and play we discovered the intricacies of relationship. Somehow we made the connection that we were connected to the cosmos. We discovered that life and living changed with the seasons, and that the season, even the month, day and time of our birth, could describe our character, behavior, potential, and our interactions with others.
Thus astrology was born. And it has continued to develop and grow as you have and as society has.
Real astrology is not just a pick-up line, nor is it a "telephone the computer" gimmick, or a "fortune cookie" reading in the daily paper. It is not a dial 1-900-PSYCHIC phenomenon.
Astrology is the original science of human potential. It is the original, and still the best, way of discovering what you are capable of and best suited for, where you'll find the most excitement and the most satisfaction. Astrology reveals the design of your life through the unique horoscope calculated for your birth: the moment you begin participating as a separate entity, swimming the river of time under your own power.
The river is the same for all of us; we live in the same time; these are the Nineties not the Sixties. We are all brothers and sisters under the skin; we are made of the same components, but in different proportions and arrangements. We are willing and unwilling subjects in society's attempts to socialize us. That's society's job. Ours is to clarify our individuality, to actualize ourselves, to fulfill our purpose, according to our own design and the order inherent in the world.
Some of the ordering principles in the world are:
Life is not random, and living need not be disjointed. Life can be arranged into twelve arenas or kinds of activity, so that all experiences of a similar nature are contained in the same house. These are the Houses that make up life:
1. Physical Activity & Self-Expression
2. Possessions & Resourcefulness
3. Communication & Exchange
4. Home & Family
5. Play & Creativity
6. Work & Health
7. Relationship & Agreement
8. Sexuality & Transformation
9. Knowledge & Exploration
10. Success & Authority
11. Friends & Aspirations
12. Service & Sacrifice
There is much more to each house; all other activities that arise from the shared essence are assigned to the same house.
What you experience depends on your attitude and on your orientation to life. People approach life from twelve points of view personified as archetypes and identified with the constellations or Signs of the Zodiac.
These are: Aries the impulsive Leader, Taurus the stable Owner, Gemini the versatile Communicator, Cancer the nurturing Parent, Leo the proud Entertainer, Virgo the critical Expert, Libra the fair Balancer, Scorpio the intense Catalyst, Sagittarius the wise Explorer, Capricorn the strict Authority, Aquarius the friendly Inventor, and Pisces the compassionate Dreamer
People are characterized by the energies they manifest and the things they do. Said otherwise, human consciousness is divisible into twelve energies or active factors related to the ten planets. Since each of these planets measures or "rules" one of the signs and acts out one of the houses, they are given here in the above order, the order of the signs.
These are the Planetary Energies: Mars is competition and pursuit. Venus is appreciation and increase. Mercury is mentality and adaptability. The Moon is emotion and need. The Sun is identity and confidence. Mercury is also discrimination and skill. Venus is additionally love and ease. Pluto is empowerment and transformation. Jupiter is expansion and benefit. Saturn is structure and manifestation. Uranus is rebellion and change. Neptune is intuition and inspiration.
Your Sign -- really the Sign the Sun was in when you were born -- reveals where you are coming from. It is the major component of your identity and your character. It may be enough to start a conversation, but fully understood it accounts for about eight percent of your total make-up. Other important factors complete the picture. Chief among these are your Moon sign, which indicates who and what you need and how you respond ("Where's you Moon?" would be a better line than "What's your sign?"); and your Ascendant, also called the Rising Sign, which is the archetype you present to others and describes how you act and behave ... or not. (You could ask, "What's rising?").
In each horoscope there are about 100 more indicators that describe you as the unique individual you are. There are more possible horoscopes than there are people alive on the planet.
Astrologers arrive at these indicators by combining the basic ingredients into pairs: Planets in Signs, Signs on Houses, Planets in Houses, Planets in Aspect, plus Transiting Planets in Aspect and Transits through Houses for prediction. (Some astrologers use additional techniques, much as psychologist of different schools use a variety of approaches.)
Planets in Signs show the style, or manner of expression, of your various energies as filtered or colored by the archetypes represented by the signs. Basically this is how you do what humans do.
Signs on Houses are generated in sets from the Sun (the Solar chart) and from the Ascendant (the Natal chart). These indicators describe your attitudes and approaches to the areas of life outlined by the houses. This is how you are oriented to what there is in life.
Planets in Houses show where you direct your energies, what experiences you seek and which you find satisfying, and what you slip into when you fall short of your expectations. This is where you put yourself with respect to life.
Planets in Aspect are the angular relationships between the planets that show how one energy factor is influenced by others. Planets in aspect combine their energies, and are akin to internal dialogues and debates between basic urges.
The possible combinations are as infinite as human variation. Together they present all the myriad ways humans manifest on the planet. Measured for a moment of birth these ingredients show what's cooking with any person. We all have all the pieces we need to be the dish we are but some of us are sweeter, saltier, or meatier than others; that's what makes us unique and what makes life and people interesting.
But astrology doesn't stop with birth. The planets didn't stop when you were born. Their continuing movement outlines your path through life. As the Planets have moved, or made Transits through Houses and formed Transiting Aspects to the planets in your birth chart, you have shifted the emphasis in your life, leaving arenas behind you and moving on to new experiences, in a kind of cosmic dance to the music of the spheres. And the music isn't over.
You are going to spend the rest of your life somewhere you've never been before. It's uncharted territory, nobody has ever been there. It's full of uncertainties, strange people, possible love, potential disasters, and fleeting opportunities. It's your future. And it's your choice if you prefer to wander through this ever-changing mystery wondering what tomorrow will bring, questioning when or if you will reach your goals and realize your dreams.
You do have the option of finding a competent professional astrologer who will operate as a professional friend, one who understands you and what you're seeking, one who sees your potential and expects your best while accepting what you do put out. An astrologer with your chart is like a guide with a map of the future, a guide to being in the right place at the right time. Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come, or a person who comes across with the right idea and action at the right time.
Astrology can put you at the center of time, where everything cycles in turn within reach of your grasp, where you are in touch with and comfortable with every part of your make up, knowing what is true and valuable about you and what is a challenge for you and for others.
An astrologer can reveal the course, cost, and payoff in your relationships since personal interest and interaction is neither accidental nor random, but a function of one person's signs, planets, and houses (attitudes, energies, and activities), stimulating, responding to, and fitting with what another is equipped with astrologically. A good relationship is like cosmic chemistry.
Compatibility by astrology answers Robert Burns' wish, "What a gift to give us, to see ourselves as others see us." Birth charts provide the means to follow Socrates' instruction, "Know thyself," and Shakespeare's admonition, "To thine own self be true." Since, as Carl Jung observed, "Anything born in a moment of time carries with it the qualities of that moment," businesses, trips and other undertakings also have horoscopes. J. P. Morgan, one of the richest men in the world, recognized this when he quipped, "Millionaires don't use astrology ... Billionaires do." But these aren't the Twenties any more than they are the Sixties, these are the Nineties. Anyone can use astrology to chart the course of their life, to take control of their destiny by discovering and actualizing their potential, to add aliveness and satisfaction to their relationships, and to enhance success by planning in time.
Isn't it about time for you to.

you're not teaching me anything that i don't already know, and i clearly disagree with how you interpret these things. Suffice to say, that i believe that Yeshua has me covered and that my robes are washed clean where i fall short and transgress the Law.
Let me address one scripture verse you have posted
Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.(Correct, the Spirit of the Lord the Holy Spirit is the one helping us understand, i never denied that.)
Zec 4:7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. (Do you know what or who Zerubabel represents ? It's listed in Strongs as sown in Babylon.)
Zec 4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Zec 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. (Notice, Zerubabels hands have laid the foundation, and his hands also shall finish it!)
Let me show you something for your consideration. And i mean really think about it for a while, and not reject it right out of hand:
This is a small but beautiful tidbit i found today on Faith, ("emunah" in the OT)
So you can see that Faith is not something that one just has in their minds, but that it comes out in works, and if you don't have works then where is your faith ?The outcome of this study, in the hearts of those who study, is emunah, faithful obedience. Normally translated as faith, Emunah has a dual meaning. Etymologically, it is related to the word meaning to train or accustom oneself, and also to the word for power and strength. This definition is very misleading! The basis of Emunah is knowledge! We start with knowledge and then when we are faithfully obedient to that knowledge, we have emunah, we have faith. Emunah is our faithful obedience to a knowledge. Something you connect to so thoroughly that you would give your life for it. Emunah must be the same as the knowledge that you exist. After this is acquired, then one must be faithfully obedient to that knowledge despite the influence of the lower self. The pinnacle of Emunah is to connect with knowledge so thoroughly that you can experience it's future pleasures, now. Emunah is a zeraim, a seed. Just as you know, without any doubt, that a seed will produce a plant with fruit, if it is properly cared for, so emunah is something you know. It is something that is certain.
Emunah leads you to Godly works, this is Faith in it's completion. Faith without works is dead, IOW it's not completed. It is only completed by works, this means getting down to the nitty gritty and denying your flesh and conforming it to do what you would not do if it weren't for that knowledge that the Word and the Holy Spirit have revealed to you. This is dying to your flesh as you walk after the Spirit in a very physical way, just as Yeshua became a physical being, denied His flesh when He knew what was to come before he was arrested, and in a very physical way followed out the word written in scripture, that He submitted to the authorities and rulers, and spoke not a word like a lamb led to the slaughter.
He submitted Himself in a very physical way, and died a gruesome physical death, for without it we could not be redeemed, He laid down His life in love for us.Isa 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
Faith without works is dead, and dead faith gets you where ?Joh 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.
I have no beef with the scriptures you posted, but i have a totally different understanding of them as the Holy Spirit showed me, and believe you me i tested the Spirit, and studied all of this out in countless hours for over a year. And everything i was shown lines up with the Word.
Abraham is my father, as is Jacob and Isaac, they did their works in faith....or do you think Sarah conceived without Abraham laying with her in faith that God's word was true and what He said would happen ? We know there's only one immaculate conception in scriptures. So what would have happened had Abraham not done his part in faith and had not had sexual relations with her ? He already screwed up when he depended on himself sleeping with Hagar as per recommendation of his wife, that was one unfaithful act i might add! She and you and i paid/pay the price of that decision made independently, this was truly works done apart from God!
I can tell you partaker, my mind is made up, with what i have been shown by the Holy Spirit, and have studied out with the Word and Holy Spirit combined has led me to the conclusion that this is the way to go. This is based on my personal relationship with God and the Holy Spirit, and the Word who is Yeshua. You're free to disagree.
Shalom my friend,

Cold aisle containment (CAC) is a cooling method that increases cooling efficiency and reduces energy costs in data centers. This cooling method relies on the fact that most network equipment... more/see it nowand servers are designed to cool themselves by drawing air in through the front and exhausting it out the rear. To implement cold aisle containment, rows of cabinets or racks are arranged facing each other to form aisles, and cool air is routed between the rows. Equipment takes the cool air in at the front of the cabinet and exhausts it out the back into the room. To keep cool air from mixing with warm air, row ends are closed off with an air-flow barrier. This barrier can range from makeshift arrangements of plastic strips to doors made expressly for this purpose. Because cold aisle containment concentrates cool air at the front of equipment where it's most needed, it's an exceptionally effective cooling method. Cold aisle containment significantly reduces energy costs, lowering power bills as well as reducing data centers' carbon footprints. collapse

What are Hemorrhoids?Hemorrhoids or hemroids are clusters of veins in the anus and just under the membrane that lines the lower part of the rectum and the anus. In addition to internal and external hemorrhoids, bleeding hemorrhoids are also possible and are caused when the mucus covering becomes damaged – for example from a bowel movement – so that it starts to bleed. Constipation is one of the causes of hemorrhoids with much of the pain and discomfort arising from the "piles" which may appear at the opening of the anal passage after straining when having a bowel movement. Apart from constipation and straining, prolonged sitting on the toilet can be another action that interferes with blood flow to and from the area so that blood can pool and result in this condition. Tips To Help With DiscomfortPart of a natural hemorrhoid treatment is changing to a diet high in fiber and including fresh fruit and vegetables as well as drinking plenty of water and taking regular exercise. Frequent warm baths or sitting in a bowl of warm water, ice packs or cotton wool pads treated with witch hazel are all soothing and comforting to the area. Treatment for hemorrhoids will help avoid the symptoms of discomfort, pain, itching and irritation. If a blood clot forms inside the external variation, the pain can be sudden and severe until it dissolves. Fortunately, they are not dangerous nor life threatening but up to 75% of adults will have at least one hemorrhoid, usually between the ages of 45 and 65. Also see our anal fissures product. How H-Hemorrhoids WorksThe components in our unique formula have been carefully selected for their function on the vascular engorgement associated with hemorhoids. The formula will relieve the engorgement and inflammation of the rectum, thereby providing relief from discomfort and shrinkage of the hemorrhoidal veins. How H-Bleeding Hemorrhoids WorksThe formula contains ingredients which have been selected for their function on minor bleeding and rawness of the anus associated with the condition. The formula works to relieve inflammation and minor bleeding thereby providing relief from discomfort. Following up with H-Hemorrhoids is recommended in order to treat the actual hemorrhoids. How Long Does It Take?The process differs from person to person, depending on the severity of the hemroids. The products will immediately start working to relieve your itching, pain and discomfort and reduce swelling. For bleeding hemorrhoids, most people start to notice a decrease in bleeding immediately. In some cases, it can take up to a few weeks to see thorough results. Complete results typically take 2-6 weeks. Your Privacy Is Secure!

B. Frost - State withheld Just wanted to thank you, about 10 years ago I was facing the daunting prospect of an operation on my hemorrhoids, with M.R.S.A. and other infections rife in our hospitals, it was not a good option, my youngest son through the internet located you and I purchased some of your wonder cure. Which was absolutely brilliant and eradicated them, I know my thanks is a long time coming but better late than never. God bless, you truly were my saviours many thanks B Frost -B J Smith - Keller, TX Buy with confidence. After being told I had a severe external Thrombosed hemorrhoid and that I needed to schedule surgery, I turned to the internet and found this website. I was curious and skeptical, but thought, what do I have to lose. I applied it every time I went to the bathroom and just before bed and first thing in the morning. The pain subsided after two days and the hemorrhoid was smaller after a week. After the second week, it was very small and mostly healed, after the third week, I couldn't feel any trace of it and the area was perfectly smooth. I can't thank you enough for making this product. I'm very thankful, I did not need surgery. I have used your product for two subsequent hemorrhoids over the year or two I've had this and the results are the same. I'm ordering more today. -J Smith Nick - Philadelphia, PA I have had internal hemorrhoids for a long time now. They had started to bleed the last few months very severely to the point where I became anemic. My doctors fixed the anemia (re-fueled me and iron pills) and gave me two different prescribed medicines for the bleeding hemorrhoids. They failed me. I tried many home remedies and spent a lot of money on failed products on the internet. I had small expectations for this oil to actually work. To my surprise after one week of using this oil, along with fiber supplements, my bleeding has disappeared and my hemorrhoids have shrunk. This product has saved me from surgery and restored order in my life again. I am very grateful and highly recommend this product -Nick Roberto - Chino, CA It did nothing to work for me. I use everyday after and still the hemroids are there and now almost after 2 weeks I am sending product back to get refund. -Roberto D. Stein - New Jersey For months I carried around my 'donut-of-shame' to sit on or it was just too darn sore to sit down. Those who have done the same will know how embarrassing it is. I am proud and pleased to say that today is the first day I have not needed it! I am so happy I decided to write a quick review. I order off sites like Amazon but this is the first time writing a review. I feel fantastic, my condition improved from the first few days. I started to notice reduction after the first week or so and now feel fantastic. It took just under three weeks which -D Stein Luis - Houston, TX Thank you for you great product for hemorrhoids, they were healed in 5 weeks. Thank you, thank you so much. -Luis Keith - Annapolis, MD I'll admit, I was very skeptical that this product would work, but I'd tried everything else (with no significant relief) and I was at the end of my rope. Admittedly, H-Hemorrhoids hasn't completely cured my problem, but it's made it much more manageable and tolerable. Prior to using it, my painful hemorrhoids would bother me for days, but after using the product, I'll usually have a hemorrhoid immediately after a bowel movement, but it will go away within an hour or so. This product is well worth the money as a little goes a long way. -Keith Bryan Cox - Oklahoma amazing results life changing William Henning - LA, CA I have been suffering from external hemorrhoids on and off for years. Constipation has always been at the root of the problem and I know my diet and weight are at fault. Although the discomfort I felt was not extreme, they always concerned me and I have tried many different ways of getting rid of them but nothing really worked. That is why I was so pleased to find H-Hemorrhoids which came highly recommended from a relative of mine. Within two weeks of starting the application of your product, there was no sign of the hemorrhoids and the symptoms had all cleared up. I really need to improve my diet now and get some exercise. Dennis Rogers - Seattle, WA After two hemorrhoid surgeries and countless prescription and over the counter hemorrhoid treatments, amoils.com was recommended by an acquaintance who'd heard I was out on sick leave and about to undergo surgery number three. Really I was not expecting results as I had tried just about everything so I skeptically began using the oil. When I noticed an improvement in appearance and feel after a few days of applying I was shocked and started to pay much closer attention, re-read the instructions and started to make sure I was applying enough and doing it correctly. I called through and had a customer service rep answer some questions and advise me further, she was really professional, friendly and happy to assist, which was comforting as I've dealt with some insensitive people when it comes to this I promise you. Long story short, I continued applying for I think what must have been 3 weeks tops overall and I'm doing great now and have even passed on the favor and recommended Amoils to a bunch of people already. Thank you for a professional service. -Dennis. Rebecca H - Toronto, Canada I was recently horrified to notice protruding internal hemorrhoids which prolapsed during a bowel movement. I immediately googled "protruding hemorrhoids" so that I knew exactly what I was dealing with. I found out that they could get worse in time (and even protrude permanently) but I also found your product H-Hemorroids which sounded exactly what I needed to rectify the problem...and it was. No more protruding and no more hemorrhoids. Thank you Healing Natural Oils for coming to my rescue. -Rebecca Jenny A from Bangor, Maine I just wish you could speed up the time your product takes to sort out the symptoms of hemorrhoids. I am a very impatient person and I found 2 weeks a long time to put up with the discomfort of this condition although I must admit the pain itself went away quickly. -Jenny A Ray - Oklahoma This product works. After suffering with Hemorrhoids for years, I was finally considering surgery to correct the problem. I bought this product after researching the internet, and decided to try it as a last ditch effort before scheduling surgery. Within two weeks things were almost completely healed up, and by the third week, I can finally say that I am free of all Hemmorhoids for the first time in 20 years. I wish the price for this stuff was cheaper, but honestly.....compared to the cost of surgery, its a great value. -Ray Smithers - California I was a total skeptic but gave it a try with no real hopes that it would work because from what I had read about hemorrhoid treatment scared the heck out of me so it was worth a shot. I had what I had self diagnosed via the Internet to be a very painful, itchy Thrombosed External hemorrhoid. I had it for a few months before I tried essential oils and it was gone in about a week of treatment and has yet to return in almost a year. I'm about to try the verruca/wart treatment oil for a painful plantar wart on my foot. If it cures this one as well I may try to buy into this company. -Smithers Anne B from Orange County, CA My only complaint about your product is that when it arrived and promptly too, the actual package was damaged. Fortunately, the H-Hemorrhoids inside was still intact and wrapped in bubble wrap so all was well. As for improving the condition itself, my hemorrhoids have disappeared after just 3 weeks of use and I feel so relieved not to have that big worry hanging over me any more. -Anne Bill H Seattle WA This is such an embarassing topic but once you talk about it your realize how common it is! So many of my friends have had the experience. I was referred to your website and got the hemorrhoids product 3 weeks ago. It sure lived up to my expectations as I am now free of the hemorrhoids! I used your product 3 times a day as I really wanted to get rid of them as fast as possible. What a simple solution - thank you!! -Bill. David Popeo - Bromley, Kent - United Kingdom I tried this product for 3 weeks and I didnt see much change at all. Your customer service told me to continue but surely after 3 weeks I should see change?? I will give you 2 stars because delivery to the UK was extremely fast. Products effectiveness is yet to be proven. -David M. Viljoen - Cleveland, OH I love your oils and have used a few of your products over the years so when I realized I had hemorrhoids I did not hesitate to order from you. It does take a bit of patience and perseverance but that is the case with most natural products. I had relief after only a few days and the hemorrhoids were gone in just over 2 weeks - like the other amoils products I have used, I rate this 5 stars and a big thank you to you for your great product line. -M. Viljoen G. J. - Colorado Springs, CO I wanted to write to you about the product for hemorrhoids I received from your company a few months ago. The product itself was great, had there been this product out a few years ago, I'm sure I would have been a customer long ago. I have comfort in my chair again and I have been in such pain lately, this product was a great pain relief for me. Unfortunately there was a problem with delivery as I ordered it priority but there was a mixup at the post office and it was delayed a further 2 days. It was urgent so I gave this review 3 stars. -G.J. Asian Kiwi - State withheld I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for 30 years and have tried anything to stop bleeding except surgeries , but I failed. A few days ago I started to use H-bleeding and after only 2 applications the bleeding stopped. So far in the last 3 bowel movements I did not bleed at all. Even so I am still not quite sure if this was due to the effects of this oil. I was wondering that if this oil is so miraculous, why other pharmaceutical companies do not produce the similar products to save people from these terrible conditions. I will keep using it for few more days and if the bleeding does not occur I will start to use H-Hemorrhoids. My personal experience is that if this is really magic oil, people still need to pay attention to their diet and to avoid constipation while using it. I would give five stars to this oil. -AK John - New Mexico After being hit by lightning in '04, I had several major changes in my body...Hemorrhoids being one of them.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to filming and am trying to figure out how to best capture a fast moving subject in sports (parkour or free running). I know this probably highly depends on my preferences.
The stuff I will be shooting would probably best resemble a chase scene. It will also include relatively fast movement with great precision, like jumping onto small railings and ledges or moving in trees. After some limited experimenting, I can't figure out what the best mode is to film in and keep getting jerky shots. Even some slow panning can look disturbing in 25p and isn't pleasant to watch. I hoped that I haven't overlooked major sources of information on this forum and the www, I took my time to search. I know that with time and practice I can figure this out, but some starting guidelines would be nice and I'm looking to film some interesting stuff soon that I don't want to waste simply because of faulty settings!
So: what are your personal preferences and/or do you have any tips regarding filming a chase scene?
- From the manual and some searching the web, I am guessing that instant autofocus should be on? The manual focus is hard to reach on the hv20 and I can't control it without jerking the camera a little.
- Filming in 50i for better slow-motion and less jerky fast movement or panning?
- No clue on the shutter speed, going by the manual: "High shutter speed to record fast moving subjects or a slow shutter speed to add motion blur, emphasizing the feel of movement". Searching motion blur doesn't give me much..
- Any other popular settings or accesories to go with the action? Popular lenses I came across are the fish-eye or wide-angle lenses to emphasize depth (good for the precision movement aspect I guess).
- My guess is that moving with the subject will yield the best view of the precision movement, since that's where the focus of the viewer will be, I also see this in most parkour/freerunning videos around.
Thanks much in advance!

If your question doesn't appear on this page, please send your question to the Office of Registration & Records, BGSU. Click HERE to send an email now, or call 419-372-8441.
Q: How do I find what I'm looking
for in the catalog?
A: The answer depends upon what you're looking for. For
instance, course information (both current and archived) is available under
the link "Course Descriptions." Areas of study (majors, etc.) may
be found via the "Areas of Study" link or by searching the contents
of individual college sections (see "Colleges and Programs"). If you
know the name of what you're looking for, you also may find it by doing a keyword
search via the search function on the catalog index page (click HERE
to display catalog index). "Academic Policies," "General Information,"
and so forth also are useful to scan for particular kinds of information. The
"site map" option (see link in the footer of the catalog index page)
is also useful if you would like to scan a comprehensive text listing of the
entire catalog contents.
Q: How do I use the "Policies/Programs"
A: As for most web searches, you initiate a catalog Policies/Programs
search by clicking your cursor in the search entry box and typing a key word or
phrase. By default, the catalog search finds "and" plus "or"
for the words you enter, meaning that it will show "hits" for catalog
pages containing all words you have entered plus any words you have
entered. For instance, typing "marine biology" in the keyword search
and then clicking the "Search" button shows you all pages with the phrase
"marine biology" plus all pages showing just "marine"
and all pages showing just "biology." The search also shows all pages
containing "marine" (or any other search term) as part of a word: e.g.,
aquamarine. To restrict the search to just the specific term you are seeking
(and exclude close-but-not-quite-matches), put quotation marks around the search
term that you enter.
Q: What are "Other Catalogs"?
A: This is a catch-all heading for links to past undergraduate
catalogs and to a page containing links to graduate studies catalogs. All previous
editions of online undergraduate catalogs at BGSU are linked under the "Other
Catalogs" heading in the current catalog. This availability is particularly
useful if a previous catalog is your official "catalog year." Please
bear in mind, however, that past catalogs are not updated and may contain
obsolete or inaccurate information.
Q: If I am interested in learning
more about a program of study and know that it's offered by a particular BGSU
college (e.g., Arts & Sciences) but don't know the program's title, how
can I effectively search for it?
A: One method you can use to search for program information
(or other information) when you have a general idea of its section but don't
know the title or heading in question is to enter a catalog section and "page"
through the section using the arrow-forward method. To pursue this method, go
to the index page of the section in questionfor instance, "College
of Arts and Sciences" under "Colleges and Degree Programs."
In the upper right-hand portion of the page, click the "next page" link.
By continuing to click the same link on each page that appears, you can quickly
skim through all of the pages of a given catalog section, possibly finding the
item you seek.
Q: What is the quickest method of returning
to a higher-level index from a specific page?
A: To quickly move to a higher-level index, look just
beneath the title "Undergraduate Catalog 200x-200x," where you will
see a "breadcrumbs" trail with links to upper-level indexes. Brackets
separate the organizational levels. Click the bracketed item representing the
level to which you wish to navigate.
Higher levels are to the left; your current level is farthest right.
Alternatively, you could use your browser "Back" button to return
to a previously visited section index.
Q: How can I tell what is or isn't
a link in the catalog?
A: You could click it, or you could roll your cursor over
any item you think might be (or you hope will be) a link. All of the text-based
links in the catalog are programmed to change color when your mouse cursor passes
over them. All image-based links are programmed to display text telling you
which catalog area or page will be displayed when you click on the image (this
function may not work in all browsers, but you should see some indication, such
as a pointing-hand icon, that a link is attached to the image).
Here's an
example of a text-based catalog link that directs you to the catalog index:
Index LINK.
Here's an example of an image-based link, allowing you to quickly return to
the top of a long page:
Try rolling your cursor over each example.
Q: I've read one of the "Academic
Policies" in the catalog but remain uncertain about its application to me.
How can I get further information about or explanation of this policy?
A: Various approaches are available to you for elucidation
of academic policies. For instance, the Office of Registration and Records deals
with and/or administers most academic policies; the footer of each catalog page
contains contact information for the Office of Registration and Records and
the catalog editor. If Registration and Records or the catalog editor cannot
answer your question satisfactorily, they will forward your question to the
Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Your college
advising office also can be an excellent resource with regard to academic policy
Q: What advantages does the online,
interactive course search offer over the "flat text" yearly listings
of all the course descriptions which are part of the catalog?
A: The "flat" course listings are prepared once
per year, using the official course descriptions current at the time of catalog
publication (late March). However, course modification is a constant process,
and the Online
Course Search is updated weekly throughout the year. Because significant
elements of a course such as course credit hours, course prerequisites, and
offering locations could change at any time (though not during a term, effective
for that term), course information obtained from the online course search
is much more reliable than the information in the annual course listings. Historical
course information is useful, however, if your goal is to view course
information that was valid at some time in the past.
Q: How do I use the online course search?
A: The online course search, linked from the catalog under
the heading "Current Course Descriptions," contains its own context-specific
"Help" facility. (Context-specific means that different help options
are shown depending upon the page you are viewing when you click "Help.")
Click HERE
to go to the course search now.
Q: What does this listing from the
online course search page signify: "Term: Fall Semester 2010"?
A: Course
attributes such as course descriptions, listed prerequisites, offering locations,
credit hours, and so forth are term-specific, meaning that these attributes
may change for future terms but not during a term when students may be enrolled
in that course. (Imagine the difficulty if the credit hours for a course changed
for an active term once that term had begun.) But students also need course
information for future terms, because they may register during spring
semester for summer semester or fall semester classes. Therefore, the course
search always displays effective term (see above). If you need even more up-to-the-minute
or detailed course information, click HERE
to email your question to the Office of Registration and Records.

Philanthropists Ponder (Literal) Pet Causes at WSJ's Donor of the Day Gala
"I hate to see anyone suffering," Michelle Harper told The Observer yesterday evening at the Wall Street Journal's inaugural Donor of the Day gala. Collectively, the assembled crowd shared Ms. Harper's sentiment, though each chose to express their benevolence in idiosyncratic and often personalized ways.
Ms. Harper, the sides of her petite head freshly buzzed for the occasion, explained that she promotes arts education, partly as function of her own upbringing. "I was always blessed to grow up around art," she said, her bright lips pursed in thought (or pose, perhaps).
Jeff Koons, the evening's host, explained his personal history with the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "In 1994 my son was abducted, a parental abduction, and through that experience I ended up always just kind of trusting that everything would work out. That the judiciary would return my son home. It never happened," he shared. Mr. Koons was, of course, referring to the knock-down, drag-out court battle between his former wife, adult film star La Cicciolina, who fled to Italy with their son.
"I just realized that I couldn't help my son but I wanted to try to help other children, and so I got involved," said Mr. Koons, speaking softly as his heavily pregnant wife, Justine, looked on. Mr. Koons admitted that personal tragedies often color our charitable inclinations. "Some of that comes from what happens to you in your life and your own personal events," he said. "But across the board people care about their families and they care about children… I think almost everybody in some manner probably tries to help the rights of children." Read More

Students, SmartBook is Here!
What is SmartBook?
SmartBook is the first and only adaptive reading experience. It's fueled by LearnSmart, the most widely used and intelligent adaptive study resource available today. By blending LearnSmart with an interactive eBook, SmartBook is designed to help you maximize your study time.
How can I get SmartBook?
If you're using ConnectPlus, there will be a SmartBook button available as soon as you enter LearnSmart. (Check this list of available titles to see if your title has SmartBook.) You can play around with it, or use LearnSmart as usual without clicking the SmartBook button – the choice is yours!
How does SmartBook work?
SmartBook collects the same data points that LearnSmart uses (e.g. confidence rating, degree of correctness, time on task, etc.) and then determines what material you need to read the most. Just like LearnSmart, SmartBook is designed to help you make the most of your study time.
• Preview –
You'll see a thumbnail view of the chapter and get an understanding of the basic organization of the material.
• Read –
Your eBook has been "highlighted" to show the most important content you should focus on. No more wondering what's important or highlighting every sentence!
• Practice –
This section is just like LearnSmart. You'll get questions to solidify your mastery of the content and identify areas you need to focus on.
• Recharge –
SmartBook is so smart, it knows what information you're going to forget and when you're going to forget it. Recharge shows you that content at the exact right time to help you keep it fresh.
What do I do first?
You can Preview the content first to build a foundation. Then you can Practice (LearnSmart) or Read. After spending some time with SmartBook, you can Recharge. But the path you take is up to you.
Is the regular e-Book going away?
No. The current eBook will remain and function as is.
By April | April 30 2013
SmartBook Is Here!
Dear Connect Community,
We are delighted to announce that SmartBook is now available! You and your students who are using ConnectPlus can experience SmartBook for the rest of the semester.
What is SmartBook?
SmartBook is the first and only adaptive reading experience. It is fueled by LearnSmart, the most widely used and intelligent adaptive study resource available today. By blending LearnSmart with an interactive eBook, SmartBook is designed to help students maximize their study time.
Does my title currently have SmartBook?
Check this list of available titles to find out if your title has SmartBook.
As an Instructor, do I need to modify any of my LearnSmart assignments?
No – SmartBook is designed as a student study resource. Students will continue to access LearnSmart assignments the same way as they do today. However, once they are in the LearnSmart assignment, they can click on a SmartBook button to launch SmartBook.
How does SmartBook work?
SmartBook collects the same data points that LearnSmart uses (for example confidence rating, degree of correctness, time on task, etc.) and uses that information to determine what content will be most beneficial for the student. Just like LearnSmart, SmartBook is designed to maximize a student's study session by focusing their efforts on what he or she needs to learn.
SmartBook uses four stages – Practice, Read, Preview and Recharge – to ensure students spend valuable time with content. The four stages are described in further detail below.
What happens in the Preview stage?
During the Preview stage, students see a thumbnail view of the chapter providing them with an understanding of the basic organization of the material. This allows students to build a framework of the content they are about to learn, which helps to organize the content in their brain.
What happens in the Read stage?
During the Read stage, students are presented with an eBook that has been "highlighted" to show the content they should focus on. The highlighted content is determined by the authors and the LearnSmart data for that particular product. This is "critical" content because it is basic concepts needed for course success as well as areas of known difficulty. As the student progresses through the Read and Practice stages (see next FAQ), the highlights adapt to focus students on the content they need the most based on their individual needs.
What happens in the Practice stage?
The Practice stage of SmartBook functions just like LearnSmart. Based on what the student has read in the "Read" stage, SmartBook presents questions that will solidify his or her mastery of the content and identify areas that the student is struggling with.
What happens in the Recharge stage?
Just as LearnSmart does, SmartBook determines what information the student is most likely to forget (and when they are most likely to forget it). During the Recharge stage, SmartBook presents students with that content along with any other material that he or she needs to know in order to master what they don't know.
How would an instructor use LearnSmart assignments and SmartBook together?
LearnSmart powers SmartBook. Instructors assign LearnSmart and the students who have access to SmartBook (within ConnectPlus) benefit from the adaptive reading experience. Students who have just Connect (w/o eBook) will have access to LearnSmart. Students are held accountable for the probes in both cases, not the amount of time spent with the eBook.
What determines the highlighted section of the textbook that students see in SmartBook?
Initially, it is population data collected from LearnSmart for that product. The highlighted sections in SmartBook are based on the data that we use today to help authors and subject matter experts see difficult topics based on existing student performance and data. As students Practice in SmartBook, the highlights will adjust to highlight the content that is most beneficial to them.
What is the recommended workflow for a student who is using SmartBook?
There is no set workflow for students to follow. Ideally, they should Preview the content to build a foundation to learn from. Then they can either Practice (LearnSmart) or Read. After spending some time with SmartBook they can then Recharge. That said, a student can proceed in a number of paths. Once students start using SmartBook we will share best practices.
Will the regular ConnectPlus e-Book be going away?
No. Two eBooks will live in ConnectPlus. The current ConnectPlus eBook will remain and function as is (tied to assignments, read it from Library…). SmartBook is available with LearnSmart and it is designed for students to use as an additional study tool.
What reports will be available for instructors?
The same instructor reports that are available for LearnSmart will be available for SmartBook.
What reports will be available for students?
The same student reports that are available for LearnSmart will be available for SmartBook.
For additional information about SmartBook, please contact your McGraw-Hill representative and visit: http://learnsmart.prod.customer.mcgraw-hill.com/learnsmart-advantage/smartbook/

Le Tour 2011: The Old-Style Race
Scan courtesy of Numerius
By Graeme Fife
No Prologue, racing from the first gun…two of the favourites, Contador and Evans scrapping for the win on Stage 4, Contador evidently keen to show he was still in the fight despite losing time from the off…The butcher's bill was horrible and we lament the exit of them all, Wiggins in the form of his life, but bravo to the matured Sky team for sticking to it and Boasson Hagen's stage wins. And that other Norwegian rider, curse of the rainbow jersey quashed by a magnificent Hushovd…Cavendish mastering the petulance in his make-up (sharp words from Peiper: Learn the métier, mate), canalising the emotion and giving full vent to the power in his legs for sweet green…Andy Schleck redeeming the failure to take on the Pyrenees with anything like the show of strength they demanded with a wonderful ride to the Tour's highest ever finish on the Galibier, cheered on by Merckx, standing in the sunroof of Prudhomme's car…Evans' gritty chase behind him, taking the responsibility, square on, to close down the time gap…Voeckler, ah, Voeckler, driving himself to the limit and apparently beyond it, until he acceded and told the amazing Rolland 'Go on, take your chance' which he did, victory on l'Alpe d'Huez, over the whole pack of big hitters, Contador, Sanchez et al…Evans' tenacious self belief driving him steadily to the overall win, limiting the losses and delivering a thumping time trial…but emphatically Voeckler's Tour, his Europcar team, second division, ten days in yellow, fourth overall, stage win and the white jersey… Chapeau.

WEDNESDAY June 19, 2013
MADISON, Wis. � The state Assembly has begun debate of the state budget and still plans to vote on the $70 billion spending plan on Wednesday. Debate began around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Republican Majority Leader Scott Suder says after about three hours of debate Tuesday, the Assembly will spend about six hours on it Wednesday. The vote is slated to take place at about 5 p.m. Wednesday. Both sides agreed to time limits to avoid late-night debate and votes that had become common in the Assembly in recent years, particularly on the budget. >>Republicans looking to curtail mine protests
MILWAUKEE � Hundreds of Wisconsin National Guard members face furloughs as the result of the automatic federal budget cuts that took effect earlier this year. Most of Wisconsin's 10,000 guard members won't be affected by the budget cuts because they are state employees or considered active-duty military personnel. But about 700 guard members who are considered U.S. Department of Defense technicians must take 11 furlough days before the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.
APPLETON � Donald Driver will be ready to go if the Green Bay Packers call and say they needed his help. Other NFL teams, however, needn't bother. Green Bay's all-time leading receiver announced his retirement Jan. 31 after 14 years in the NFL � all with the Packers. Driver says he still loves the game, but he promised Packers fans he'd never play for another team. "At the end of the day, if I get that itch, it would only be for the green and gold," he said. "If the Packers called me and said, 'Drive, come back to training camp,' I'd be back for training camp.
ST. FRANCIS � Bob Bender and Nick Van Exel are following Larry Drew to Milwaukee. The Bucks announced Monday that Bender and Van Exel will be assistants on Drew's staff. Bender also was an assistant during Drew's three years as head coach in Atlanta, while Van Exel was the Hawks' player development instructor from 2010-12. Drew says the two were "important pieces" of his staff in Atlanta and will be dedicated to teaching Milwaukee's young players. >>Ellis tells Bucks he will opt out of contract
GREEN BAY � The Green Bay Packers have released linebacker Desmond Bishop. The move Monday was expected as a cost-saving measure. Bishop was due to make $3.464 million this season after missing all of last year with a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old inside linebacker had 310 tackles, nine sacks, seven forced fumbles and an interception since the Packers took him in the sixth round of the 2007 draft. He played in 69 games, making 26 starts, and was part of the squad that won the Super Bowl following the 2010 season.
MILWAUKEE � The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design has announced its plans to build a six-story apartment-style residence hall at 252 E. Menomonee St. in time for new students� arrivals this fall. Five floors of the residence hall will be occupied by up to 310 students. The 5,780-square-foot ground floor will be retail space, according a statement from the school. The designs include 75 fully furnished two-bedroom suites, each accommodating four students with a living room, kitchen and two bathrooms. Amenities will include wide-screen TVs and fully equipped kitchens with dishwashers.

Stay Classy, San Diego

Wedding weekends are guaranteed fun. If you're not having a blast at one moment on the trip, you definitely will later. Sometimes you're lucky enough to be celebrating loved ones with lots of friends and everything is perfect, including the place. I had such luck this summer when I traveled to San Diego to celebrate a marvelous pair of friends, and since there was ample time for riding, I brought along the sled.
There were several rides that weekend, as there were several riders in attendance. Two routes were popular. The first was a short, city ride that I would recommend for anyone into steep hill repeats. This is the northern climb to Soledad Park. Start at the intersection of La Jolla Parkway and Hidden Valley Road and head south on the latter. Turn right on Via Capri and ride it to the top. The grades are between 11% and 14% with a couple of short steps. The views on top are sweet, and somewhere on top of this hill is the former residence of Dr. Seuss.
The other ride is out of town, and it's hugely popular with both locals and visitors. It's basically N Torrey Pines Road north, along the coast. It's faster, for sure, and has beautiful views of the ocean and beaches. Of all the places to stop, and there are many, you must make a point of taking some silent moments at one in particular: the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. The Salk (1959-1966) was designed by the great Louis Khan, and is considered by many to be one of his crowning achievements. In the characteristic concrete and marble so enjoyed by Khan, the Salk is a monumental work of programmatic organization and spacial order, and the central courtyard is one of the world's remaining greats. Its geometric balance and scale are indicative of a strong current of tranquil optimism in humanity that ran through Khan's designs, especially around this period.
There is a small pop-up cafe just outside the entrance gates. Grab an espresso and sit for a few minutes on the marble benches at the near end and look west. I highly recommend it.

The wife lived/ studied in La Jolla, San Diego back in the day.
Luckily she came to her senses and moved back to good old London town, otherwise I would never have met her.
San Diego is fantastic for riding. Almost perfect 70 - 80 degrees all year round with rolling hills, beautiful countryside and fantastic ocean views.
If you visit, make sure you pop along to the Velocult store and museum. Some lovely steel bikes. They also have organised rides ect. Sky the owner is a true bike lover.

State Ppolice said the accident happened following the New Roads parade on Fat Tuesday.
Investigators said James Lee, 58, of New Roads was riding on the tongue of a Mardi Gras float that was being pulled by a Ford F-250 after the parade ended.
He slipped and fell to the ground as the float was being towed forward. The float continued rolling forward and Lee was crushed. A pickup following closely behind the float and also struck Lee.
Troopers said they do not suspect alcohol to have been a factor in the crash. However, both drivers voluntarily submitted breath samples to Troopers that showed they had no detectable alcohol in their systems. Troopers have also submitted a sample of Lee's blood to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for chemical analysis.

NO. However, I sometimes wish I got the 4dr vs. my 2dr GTI, but thats only so my dog can creepily stare at people out the window at stop lights and in traffic.
I think that sedans look a little more grown-up/serious. So in some moods, a sedan would be preferable.
I'm also pretty sure you have a wider field of view when the back window is closer to you, so that's an advantage of sedans.
But in some senses, "hatches," as a way to access your cargo space, completely prevail in America (well new england at least). Go to any parking lot, and between the hatchbacks, wagons, SUVs, and Minivans, Sedans are far outnumbered.
Not an enthusiast.
NO. However, I sometimes wish I got the 4dr vs. my 2dr GTI, but thats only so my dog can creepily stare at people out the window at stop lights and in traffic.
I've sometimes heard this as THE argument, but at the end of the day, tons of Americans buy SUVs and crossovers with no covered storage and that sort of smash-and-grab petty crime is not more common here than in the rest of the world. I agree that it's nice to have, but then, every hatch I've owned had some sort of cover. You could still break a window to get in, but you can punch out a trunk lock, too. Or in most modern sedans, break a window then flip the seat back down.
It's really simpler than that, it's that sedans look bigger and this plays into psychology on both sides of the Atlantic.
In a society like ours where there is no perceived premium on space, the typical uninformed buyer will just take the biggest-looking car they can afford. This is why the Versa sells so well, and in sedan trim, too; for barely over $10k you get something the size of a MkIV Jetta. There's a really interesting version of this going on in India where the newly affluent middle class is absolutely gaga for what are effectively sedan versions of Japanese kei cars. There are road tax incentives to have a car under a specific length, and rather than buying a hatch with a longer wheelbase and more effective room, people will go for the micro-sedan instead.
On the other hand, go to a society where you've got to street park and work with a dense urban infrastructure that was built by a wealthy society before the automobile, such as most of Europe, and there's a stronger unconscious incentive to pick the car that looks shorter. There's also some culture here, too, as the explosion of hatchbacks in the late '70s and early '80s cemented them in the minds of a lot of people as the hipper alternative. Unlike in America, where a Rabbit was replacing a much "wealthier"-looking huge American car in someone's driveway, when cars like the Golf appeared in Europe they were replacing similar-sized awkward little sedans like Renault Dauphines with something that looked and felt vastly more modern.
Splinter - Team Post-Killing Ninja
I don't practice llanteria
but i always wished that my old car 03 Impala would come as a hatch i would have bought that instead
To be fair, the GTI does get a bit messy easily, but my Outback and my old Cherokee is/was better (higher belt line).
A sedan may not get a dirty rear window as easily, but once it is, you can only get outside the car and clean it yourself. Also, during winter, if you have just a tiny bit of snow left on the roof, it will automatically settle on your window and you need to wait for the defroster to melt everything away.
Went from wagon to sedan, not because I wanted a sedan, but because they didn't make a hatch or wagon version anymore.
Last 7 cars I've owned were all hatches. Couple Focuses, a MK1 rabbit, and a few GTIs. I don't have kids, nor do I plan on having any so four doors is a complete waste for me, although the Focus hatch I have now is a 5 door... a 3 door hatch it all I really need.
The utility of the hatch is pretty awesome. When I had my 97 GTI VR6 I stuffed a solar cover for an olympic sized pool in the hatch, rolled up like a giant sleeping bag. It JUST fit. I mean... JUST... on all sides. But yeah, let's see you do that in a sedan.
I will probably always own a hatch of some flavor. Just too hooked on it that body style.
A brave man's weapon is his heart.
God, no. I can't think of a single situation where I think, "Y'know, I wish I had saved about $4.00 a month and gotten a vehicle with less usable space and even worse weight distribution."
The only car that my wife and I had that didn't have a hatch were her VW Cabrio and her current BMW 325 convertible. The trunk is a pain in the ass and if it's not sunny out side we take one of our other cars. All of which have a hatch.
I've never really understood the appeal of a car with a trunk. They've always seemed so impractical to get stuff into and out of the cargo area. I also like having the rear window closer to the rear bumper. Makes backing out a bit easier because you don't have to judge that extra couple of feet before you hit something.
There have been times I wished I had the bigger trunk of a sedan instead of the small (with seats up) cargo area of a hatch. Ski trips being the biggie. I can only really take 2 other people for ski trips in my GTI, once you start adding gear the rear fills up too quickly. My Focus didn't suffer from this.
The other thing is... at least that I've experienced... the hatch structure is less rigid than a sedan. My GTI creaks and groans over driveways, speed bumps, etc. Its noticeable that its not very rigid, where a sedan has the extra bracing at the back seats and trunk line.
Otherwise the versatility of the hatch is awesome. My bikes fit in the back super easy. My 40" TV looked small in the back, where I would have struggled to fit it in my previous car.

I've owned basically only sedans, save one, a MKIII GTI. We've always needed 4 doors because of our kids. I'm on my 4th truck however, and I'll never be with out a truck again. We've had a MKIV Jetta for the past 9 years, and have never has a problem moving stuff because of said truck. I will say that her next car will likely be a wagon of some flavor.

I've owned multiple hatches and sedans.
I prefer the hatches mostly for their practicality and versatility.
Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.
My Mk6 Golf had a pretty useless trunk, seats up. To the point where I couldn't goto the beach or a camping trip with 4 friends in it. One cooler and the space was almost eaten up. Thank you independent rear suspension!
My new BMW has a larger (or more usefully shaped?) trunk. And my Audi A4 before the Golf had a cavernous trunk... I honestly think it was something like 17 or 18 cu ft or something like that.
With the seats folded down in my BMW, I could fit a flat-screen TV, or lots of IKEA boxes. If I need to haul something extremely bulky - it wouldn't fit in the hatch of my Golf anyway... so I call up my father and bring the XC70.
I prefer sedans after owning
- 3 hatches
- 1 wagons
- 2 sedans
I love real wagons tho... but I don't need one yet. I'd get a wagon in a heartbeat when I have kids. Like my dad did. Same handling and interior as a sedan, but with a huge (25-35cu-ft) trunk!.
Sometimes I've wished for a less exposed cargo area, but then I spent $75 on a cargo area cover and that was pretty much it. Concealed storage can be nice. But I've never wished for less cargo versatility.

^^^ You are also comparing a small car to a mid-sized car. I would think that a better comparison would be your MK6 Golf to a Jetta sedan or the like.
Had a sedan in college, have had nothing but SUVs and then hatchbacks ever since. Never considered going back. Just so much more practical, not to mention I think they look much cooler.

I'm more of a coupe guy myself, having owned only a single 4 door car in my life. However, I have owned hatchbacks (currently have one) and a couple of cars with a traditional trunk/trunk lid (like the current mustang). I definitely see the utility of the hatchback. Even the crossfire had an impressive amount of rear storage space for its size and shape. I'm currently in the process of moving from an apt to a house and it's been an interesting experience. There have been times where I wondered if certain items would have fit in my old GTI, instead of having to rely on the GFs Tucson (which has been very nice to have!). In reality though, despite the limitations of the layout, the mustang has been pretty handy with the seats down.
Still, at the ripe age of 36, I have little use for the practicalities of a hatchback, wagon, or SUV in 90% of circumstances. I probably should have just gotten a used Lotus Elise as even the mustang has more space than I really need or typically use.
Went from 2 gtis to a mustang. I really miss the hatchback. Especially the rear wiper on rainy days where you can't go fast enough(highway) to air off the rear window. Also miss the space. But the v8 has me overlooking that side of practicality
Not perception, reality for most hatches/wagons. When the greatest car in the world is broken into, mkiii, the only thing protecting hatch contents is a piece of heavy cardboard covered in soft dash felt. All the sedans ive been in have locking rear seats/no fold rear seats.
Sometimes I wish I had a sedan instead my "wagon" due to the backboom and generally noisy ride compared to sedans. But I love the utility of a hatch shape due to the seating area when booting up for snowboarding.

...Unless you need to carry more than two people along with all that dive gear. Just sayin'. Bigger utility vehicles always have a place, and the Golf is pretty limited when it comes to hauling both gear and people, or a whole lotta gear. That's why I have a commuter and an SUV, and that's why a lot of folks prefer wagons to hatches.

Smash and grabs are opportunistic, though. If it's out of sight, nobody's gonna take the chance of breaking in and spending a few minutes rooting around on the chance that they might find something. S&Gs happen when some dolt leaves their purse, laptop case, wallet, or whatever right there on the seat, and somebody just breaks the window and ganks it in a second and a half.

Honestly, I have to wonder why sedans exist sometimes. Even if you prefer the sedan profile, a liftback just makes SO much more sense. I think people are just in the habit of getting sedans, or something. I know preferences are subjective....but every sedan owner I know has had the problem of not being able to fit a bunch of IKEA stuff or a Home Depot run or a friend's bike or something into their car. And then they call me and ask if they can use my 4Runner.

I am always puzzled when I hear people say how sedans are not practical. I have put more into my Jetta then could have ever fit in the Golf/GTI of the same generation. It just takes more thought on how things need to be packed in. Granted there are some items that it can be difficult to get into a sedan (if at all) such as a loveseat (or similar sized item) where a hatch would be nice (I have friends with trucks for that kind of stuff ). However, seats folded down in both, I will stick to saying that my sedan can hold a greater volume than a hatch of the same generation.

I'd like to have you gents have this guy on the podcast at some time-- he's a pre-suppositionalist and might make a really good guest.
I don't think the athiests on this podcast: The Thinking Atheist podcast with Sye did a particularly good job against his position, and I think Emery & Scott could do much better (I'm tempted to come on as well if you'll have me).
Here's Sye's Website, though it's simplistic and doesn't get you far unless you answer the way he insists, so there's not much you can get from it.
