The Haunted Library
October 29, 2009 09:38 PM »
Hello reader. My name's James. You are going to be reading my extraordinary story. My story starts off when I was only twelve, and I'm now seventy-odd, and yet, I can remember it as if it was yesterday. So here goes. When I was twelve, I kind of remember myself walking up the path to the old, creepy, tumbled down library. A long time ago, way past the memories of the oldest people living in Old Town, the library had been a house, but 100 years ago, there had been a horrible, ghastly murder and it's been said that a ghost still roams the library wailing the name of its murderer. Or so the old legends. They also say that a wizard and a spirit had a duel and the spirit turned into a woman ghost. Then from what I'd heard, the wizard came back and turned the spirit into a proper woman, whose name I've forgotten. So you can imagine the look of terror on my face when my mum said for me to go to the library on my own to get her a stupid, boring gardening book.
"But mum, there's a grotesque, demented, and tormented ghost haunting the library, and you know that from all the legends!"
"Well if you're a little baby, then you can take your friend with you," my mum sarcastically said, trying to mimic my voice, but miserably failed.
At the sound of these words, I shot out of the house like a bullet out of a gun to my friend's house just down the road from me.
My friend was called Leo, and was the same age as I was, and he had only one hobby. That was eating. He ate what ever he could lay his grubby, piggy, little hands on, whether it was burgers, ice cream, or chips. You name it, he ate it. Sometimes all three at once. But anyway, after I met up with him, we ran like lightning to the library.
A couple of minutes later, I had found the book I wanted. The book was called: 'Horrible Histories, Deaths in the Library'.
"Have you found the book yet that you wanted?" Leo asked, voice muffled by the massive burger bun in his mouth. He had loads of tomato ketchup running down his face like the Angel Falls. Sometimes, he's so sick, you can be physically sick just by looking at him.
"Yes I've found it. It's called..."
"Hey don?t close the door on us!" Leo bellowed and ran as fast as his fat, piggy, little legs could carry him. But it was too late; the great, old oak door closed in his face and he banged into it, and rolled around the floor because he was a fat ball of fat.
"I don't believe it; we're locked in the haunted l-library with the b-b-blood sucking, horrible semi-transparent g-g-ghost who could attack us at a-a-any minute!" he spluttered in a shaky voice. He was scared, but I somehow managed to stay calm.
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down, we're going to try and find an exit, and we'll be out in no time. I promise you that o.k.," I said encouragingly to him. That calmed him down, and he even smiled, despite the current situation we were in. I thought this was slightly odd, but I just ignored it. "But before we can do that, we have to try and get rid of the ghost that has killed people, just by cursing all the books, or so all the legends say anyway."
"You must be kidding!"
"Well, it's not as is we have much of a choice is it. So are you with me or aren't you?"
"O.K, let's do it."
"That's the spirit. Now to start off with, you start over in the far corner and I'll start here. Try to press every panel you can see to see if a secret door will open or something."
We were near the end of the library. We had to push aside big, thick, disgusting cobwebs, which smelled of long forgotten mothballs, to look for an exit out of the library. After roughly 10-15 minutes, Leo sat against the wall, apparently exhausted by the amount of ?exercise? we did. Then suddenly the wall opened when he lent on a panel.
"The wall opened up when I lent on it!" he shouted in a very sudden, loud voice.
"Well, come on then, let?s see what's at the end of the tunnel," I replied in an encouraging voice.
The tunnel was very dark, very spooky and very mysterious. We couldn't see our hands in front of our faces because it was so dark. It was so dark that we could almost taste it. Leo was now back to trembling from head to foot like a jelly at a little kid's birthday. A few minutes later, Leo said he thought he could hear something just ahead.
"Hey, can you hear anything up ahead that sounds like a plant that moves in the wind?" he asked.
"Yes, I can hear something. Let's investigate it!" I replied in a confident voice.
"I don't want to, I just want to go back to where I know we'll be safe from any harm," Leo suddenly whimpered like a bratty, scared kid.
"So you're a chicken then? Cluck, cluck, cluck!"
"Stop it, already. I'll go, I'll go."
"That?'s good, because you've got no choice in the matter."
So we marched onwards, after this little argument, until we came to a chamber filled with tropical plants of all shapes and sizes. Some were tall and thin, whilst others were short and fat. The one thing they all had in common, however, was they all had some sort of mouth, which was causing the moving in the wind sound, and they also looked remarkably human in appearance. The whole area smelt like a cheap compost heap that hadn't been cleaned in two to three years, and the place was lit up by a dim light coming from the ceiling skylight, casting a soft glow over everything in the area.
"They look furious with us for some reason," I said in an almost calm voice, but on the inside, I was almost as scared as Leo was as this minute. But I was hardly going to admit that after just making fun of him for the same reason.
"Do-do you think they'll at-t-tack if we try to get a-a-across?" stuttered Leo in a low whisper.
"Well, lets see if they do attack us! I don't care if they do or not!" I bellowed in a loud, stern voice to try and show some authority.
So I ran quickly to one of the closer plants, and almost immediately the plant attacked me with one of its long, thin, straggly branches, nearly knocking me unconscious.
"Hey, just then, before I got hit, I thought I heard it say that you have to answer a riddle of some sort, to get pass them." I told Leo. Well, at this point, I really thought I was going mental because of the bump on my head caused by the branch hitting me. After all, how many talking trees do you hear and see in normal life.
"How are we to get past you?" demanded Leo in his obvious O.T.T. voice, to show that he thought he was the big boss around here. At this point, I also thought my best friend was becoming a lunatic as well as me, and he wasn't even hit with a branch. And stupid. I just said how they would let us pass. Seriously.
"You have to answer a riddle of great difficultly. If you guess correctly, then you can pass. But answer incorrectly, then you'll die a horrible death," the plant suddenly said in a slippery tone:
"First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what the last thing to mend is always,
The middle of middle and end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?"
Both Leo and I were thinking hard about the riddle, for about 30 seconds, when suddenly Leo jumped up and shouted in an excited voice "I've cracked it, the answers a spider." He always seems to get riddles quickly, despite the difficulty of some of them.
"Yes, that is the correct answer; you may now go on into the next chamber. But let me give you a bit of advice,"
the plant said softly and evilly "You'll need a very sharp eye to help you," then he laughed softly, but there was nothing to amuse him in the dark dismal chamber.
"Thank you for helping us," we said together happily. I didn't realize it at the time, but this advice was to help me recognize friend from foe. In time.
Just as we were about to set out, Leo suddenly said, "James, can I speak to this plant very quickly?"
"Why the hell would you want to do such as stupid thing?!"
"To make it apologize for hitting you earlier."
"It doesn't matter. I'm fine now anyway."
"No really, I insist. So, if you go on ahead, I'll catch up with you."
"Well, O.K, if you're absolutely sure. I'll meet you behind that curve down the tunnel." So I went on ahead, then I waited for him once I got to a fork in the tunnel. At this point in time, I thought it was strange that he wanted to talk to a plant that he was absolutely petrified of. A few minutes later, I met up with Leo and we began to walk down endless tunnels.
For some hours, Leo and I had been walking along the new passage until suddenly someone jumped out of the shadows, scaring the living shit out of us.
"ERYN! What are you doing down here all alone?" shouted Leo in shock. Eryn had been his girlfriend when he was younger, but she strangely disappeared without a word to anyone, not even Leo, about 8months ago.
"Same reason you're down here. To get rid of the ghost that's been haunting this library for years. That's why I disappeared all that time ago, and that's why I didn't tell anyone where I was going or what I was going to do."
"Yeah, well, that kind of backfired, didn't it," I sarcastically replied. But she wasn't listening to me.
"You could have told me,? Leo replied angrily, "after all, I was and am your boyfriend, am I not!"
"You may be, but I knew you would try and stop me."
"Come on; let's just get this over and done with." I said in a rage. Don't you just hate it when people talk about things you can just say as easily at home?
So we carried on for a while, until we came to a sky-high, never-ending chamber filled to the top with all kinds of exotic birds such as parrots, toucans and tacos. In fact the entire world's species of birds seemed to be in this one room. But they all had one thing in common; they all had keys attached to one of their legs.
"Right, we've got two problems. A) We can't get to them because we can't fly up to grab them, obviously, and B) there are so many that we don't know which key opens the door!" Eryn shouted loudly over the noise of squawking and flapping of wings.
"What! I can't hear you over all these bloody birds!" I shouted in her ear. So she repeated it again. Whilst this was happening, Leo suddenly spotted a hunting rifle and some ammo in the dark corner of the room, and then he knew what we had to do.
"Who here has got a sharp eye and is fantastic at shooting?"
"I'm excellent at killing stuff!" shouted Eryn.
"Well, look for a key that fits the key hole," Leo whispered loudly in her ear. Obvious when you think of it, isn't it.
So Eryn took a whole minute just to find the key, then I can't blame her with the amount of birds there were, but once she did manage to find it, she took a quick aim and fired.
"Well done Eryn, you're a bloody good gunner. You've killed the bird right in the heart," Leo cheered loudly and joyfully. He's so sickening sometimes that I forget how and why we even became friends in the first place.
"Come on; let's get out of here quickly. These birds are giving me the creeps." I mumbled to myself.
We'd been walking for only a couple of minutes, or a couple of hours, I lost track of time ages ago, when we came to a chamber that had lights so bright that we had to cover our eyes for a while before we could see properly, after the great darkness of the tunnel. When we could finally see, we choked in shock at the sight.
We were standing on a chessboard that was so large, you could put my whole house on it, and still have plenty of room to spare, and three immense pieces, as tall as the tallest person ever, were moving away so we could play our way across the room to the door.
"What! Are we all going to have to be chess pieces to get across the room?" Eryn and I asked together. Thinking about it now, that was such a dumb question to ask because it's so obvious when you think about it. It really does just get worse, doesn't it?
"As you're the best chess players in the whole school, I think you should be in charge of directing us across the room Jamie," I pointed out to him. He managed to beat the former chess player in just 3 moves, somehow.
"Thanks very much for that compliment. Now Eryn, you are a castle on the kings' side, James, you are a bishop on the queens' side, and I'll be a knight on the kings' side."
And so we played. We lost quite a few pieces, but that didn't matter (I mean, it's not like they were alive or anything). And I still don't understand how he managed to get pass that enemy prawn that had him cornered. But towards the end, only Leo could see how to get us across the room, naturally, all things considering.
"James, Eryn, the only way to get across is to sacrifice myself, so you can checkmate the king then get across the room safely."
"Leo, no don?t do it!" Eryn gabbled.
"Eryn, I must. You have to destroy the ghost that?s been haunting for over 70 years now; otherwise people won't want to come to the library any more because of all the cursed books, and the fact it's haunted. Plus, it'll get you on TV! So if I sacrifice myself, you'll be one step closer to destroying it forever. So I must make my move...now!!"
And that's just what he did. He rambled towards the Queen slowly as he prepared to meet his death. The Queen turned against him, as she advanced, he shrieked like a little baby, naturally. Suddenly, she drew out a sword and stabbed him right in the heart. It might have been funny if it had been a movie, but it wasn't. Then there was silence for the longest time. Then Eryn and I started to cry.
"Please have made the right decision for all our sakes." I sobbed through all my tears. He may have been a fat pig, but he was still the best friend I had ever had, and the fact I'd practically known him from birth made it all the worse.
Eryn was just about to help him when I bellowed "STOP!! We're still playing," I reminded her, through all the tears that were still pouring down my face uncontrollably.
So I made my move, shakily, and managed to checkmate the king, so the king deliberately decided to murder himself on his own sword, and you should have seen all the blood coming out. Just like Leo. But it didn't make it any better that we'd got across the room.
I softly shouted "Hurray, we got past them. What's next?" I'd now managed to stop crying by this time, but was still shaky.
"We'll find out in a minute won't we?" Eryn replied softly. She was still sobbing quietly to herself. I guess I understood why she was so upset. I mean, knowing a friend for five years, being a girlfriend for two, and then having to see him die must have been real traumatic to her. So we had a one minute silence for him out of respect, we then cried again as me and Eryn hugged each other, then we had to move on.
So walking down the darkest, spookiest tunnel that we had been in since we first started this quest, we met up with some very malevolent 'things' which I couldn't possibly tell you about because they would give you nightmares about them for the rest of your life otherwise. So when it came to midnight (Eryn had a watch on) we decided to carry on in the morning.
"I wonder what our mums are thinking about us right at this very minute." I exclaimed to Eryn.
"Mmm" She was evidently still thinking of Leo. I could tell that straight away from her face.
We sat in silence for a while, thinking of what had just happened, then I asked "Eryn, I'm just wondering, but how long have you been down here, not including being with us."
"Well, I must have been down there for about 285 days, at least."
"God that?s a long time. But how did you manage to survive without food or water for that long?"
"Gosh," she exclaimed suddenly standing up and preparing to leave, "We better get going if we want to get to the ghost before tomorrow night."
"But you haven't answered my question, and why by tomorrow."
"What does it matter!" she suddenly snapped. She definitely wasn't acting normal, especially when your boyfriend has just been stabbed to death by a chess piece. Maybe it was just the stress, but I wasn't so sure.
"Sorry I ever asked," I muttered to myself.
But then, as we were getting up, something happened which made me quite uneasy. Eryn floated off the ground for a few seconds. It might've just been part of my very over-active imagination, but because of that, I had a startling thought. Eryn was one of the most dim-witted person in the whole school, only Leo was thicker then she was, hence how she managed to be his girlfriend for such a long time, so how could she be able to get past the riddle plants. After all, she probably would've been killed ages ago. For that matter, how did Leo manage to workout that answer? My superstitions were temporarily answered when she said, "I'll go on ahead to see what else we have to face."
"On your own?"
"Why not?"
"Only asked because we don't know what's going to be around the next corner, so shouldn't really be going on our own."
"I'll just go around the next corner, and then I'll come straight back. I promise." Then for the first time in ages, I saw her smile her beautiful, golden smile. I instantly fell for it, the stupid bastard that I was.
"O.k." I smiled weakly. I must admit, for all her dumbness, she was very beautiful.
So I waited a few minutes, but she didn't come back, so I went along the tunnel for a little while, when, after a few minutes, I came to two paths in a Y shape. In the end I chose the left hand side path (because I am left handed.)
"Now I'll see if my theory is correct. Eryn should be some sort of spirit, and she should be down this path," I muttered to myself softly.

(Continued from last post)
So on I walked down the tunnel, for what really did seem like hours and hours, until finally, I came to the most immense, breath-taking chamber that I'd ever seen, or ever will see for the rest of my life. It seamed to go on for all directions for infinitely. All around the edges, all I saw were laptops, laptops, and more damn laptops. But the thing which was in the centre was what managed to take my breath away. It was a globe. But not just any old globe. It was a holographic globe, fed by all the computers, for on it were all the worlds important population on there, each with their own little dot and name, all of then moving. Then I saw the horror of what created all of this. It was Leo, back from the dead.
"How could you do this to me? I thought you were dead on the chessboard, when the queen brutally bashed your head in, and Leo and I saw your brain coming out."
"Yes, that's what you thought you saw. But I lived and have been healed with the help of the Elixir of Life. In fact, I'm immortal, and that means I'll have plenty of time to take over the whole world with the only Philosophers stone in the whole world." And as he said this, he took out a stone. But it wasn't an ordinary stone, because it was small, yellow, and had a strong, sharp smell to it, like Sulphur.
"Where did you get that from?" I asked him.
"Well, if you really must know, the great wizard of Morgolgalith, who last lived here for millennia, to hideaway from his great enemies, had it, but I managed to destroy him."
"How?" I asked a little too quickly.
"Well, if you actually listen, I fought him in a duel of great power, power you could never imagine. He tried to cast a mighty, ever lasting paralysing spell at me. But I was too quick for him because I managed to get out of the way, and it hit the huge mirror." He pointed to the only space free of computers, to a big mirror. "It bounced off it, and hit him in the face and turned him into Nery by some strange and magical power, which even I don't know about, yet."
"Who's May?" I asked politely. He might be evil, but he is really bloody boring.
"She's the ghost who has haunted the library for the past 70 years. But 14 years ago, my spirit came down into this place again. I 'died' after the duel had finished from Nery strangling me when 'she' realized what had happened to 'her'. But I couldn't truly die because I drank a bit of the Elixir of Life to increase my chances of winning. So I found 'her' again, and by a magical process of my own devising, turned her into Nery."
"So why is she looking so ugly now?"
"Because she is back in the place where the transformation happened."
"But there's also the thing where there's Eryn and there's Nery being here at the same time, isn't there?"
"That's because when she first started to haunt this place, she couldn't decide whether to be good or not,"
I raised my eyebrows at this "So the spirit split. The bad one haunted the library, and the good one haunted this area. The body was just left in the area shortly before coming here. I found the bad spirit when I came back, obviously, and put it back into the body. I don?t know where the good spirit is."
"But what about all these resent hauntings, and the cursing of the books, and such like?"
"'He' cursed the books and the library and Nery when 'he' was still a wizard, and the hauntings are still caused by the good spirit, doing two jobs at once." He sniggered at his own answer.
"But where did you find the stone?" I asked impatiently. I was really getting bored of his story by now, and just wanted him to finish it (whatever that was) quickly.
"'He' left it in the safe over in that corner, near where Eryn is," he smirked again as he pointed into a corner. "Not that you would have a chance to steal it because it's in my pocket."
So as I looked the way he was pointing, and I only just managed to hold my sick in. I really did. For in the far corner was a creature from your worse nightmare, but 100 times more hideous and disgusting then even that.
"What's happened to her?!" I screamed out loud.
"When the spell hit 'him', it blasted into 'his' face, leaving 'her' with a face like that for the rest of 'her' life. But I patched it up so Eryn could look a bit reasonable when she was born."
He giggled again at this for some strange reason. Whilst we were saying this, he'd wandered near a computer to do something with the globe because it grew just that bit bigger then it was before. It was then I had a brilliant idea, I reckoned at the time. But before I could say anything to myself about my plan, he turned around and said softly, but cruelly "In one hour, the radioactive bomb I've planted in the centre of the Earth will blow up, and all the worlds' people will have radioactive cancer. That is, unless the world leaders each give me a billion pounds, in cash, and let me be the single world leader. Forever!" With this, he laughed a totally mental laugh, the full works. With this, I had a chance to review my brilliant plan.
"Why don't I push him into a computer, grab the Stone from him, smash it into a computer, and see him get electrocuted to death, hopefully. But, having said this, I must do it quickly if I'm going to succeed."
Luckily, he now had his back to me, as I was sneaking up on him. I managed to push him into a computer he was leaning on. But then, when it came to getting the Stone from him, however, he had a surprising amount of super human vigour. He must have done a bit of working out during the 70 years because instead of falling into the computer, like a normal person should, he rolled onto it, then leaped off it, and whacked me round the head with super fast reactions, with the Stone he had in his hitting hand. As we wrestled on the floor, I could feel his weight overcoming my own. Suddenly, everything went black.
I awoke to a searing pain across my whole head, and I felt blood trickling down. Then I realised that my hands were tied behind my back and that an oily gag was in my mouth. "How am I going to get out of this predicament," I thought to myself. Then I looked at a gigantic computer monitor, and saw there was only 45 minutes left until everyone had radioactive cancer and all died from the long and painful poison.
"So the pathetic weakling is finally awake," Leo suddenly gloated at me, whilst pulling the gag out of my mouth. I hadn't heard him coming up behind me.
"I thought we were friends!" I spluttered angrily.
"We never were. I was only using you for my evil plans." He pulled out a gun, and pointed it at me.
"Why, you bastard?!" I spluttered angrily at him.
"So I could torture and torment you until the world ended, why else. I could have got it any time, but it's more fun seeing you go through that pain and sadness of you apparently losing me. You know, stuff like that."
Then I spat on him. He, however, just ignored me and walked away to talk to the grotesque Eryn, whist wiping the spit off him. Then, just at that second, I suddenly went cold for no apparent reason. I shivered.
"Don't be afraid," a rather calm, soothing voice suddenly said. I think I would've jumped a mile if I wasn't tied down.
"Who are you?" I whispered nervously.
"I'm the good spirit of this library." Her voice was calm and reassuring in a weird way, all things considering. She then undid my bonds, and then redid them back into an easy-to-undo knot. "I've seen all your pain and suffering with him, and I feel really, really sorry for you. So what I'll do is this." As I listened to the plan she had, I smiled to myself. "After I did this, everything will be o.k." I kept thinking to myself to keep myself motivated.
"Are you ready?"
"Then go quickly and quietly! And remember. Follow the plan exactly to the word, or it won?t work properly."
"Right." So I crept out of my chair, undid the knot, and quietly went over to where Leo was standing, hunched over the countdown computer. When I was behind him, I simply and quickly pushed him head first into the super computer, and ran to the door. Whilst I was doing this, the spirit went over to Eryn, picked her up and threw her into the same computer as Leo. Doing this resulted in it going absolutely haywire. Eryn and Leo screamed:
"You'll never get out now!"
"You'll die before you get out of this place you stupid bastard!"
"Correction, you won't, I will,"and with that, I managed to get out before the automatic shutting 2 inch thick door closed on me. But before this happened, I stopped for a moment and I saw for the last ever time in my life that monstrous face and the monster that I thought had been my friend since I started secondary school, before they were both electrocuted to death. In that one moment, I thought "I now know why they had such a full and loving relationship together." Then the ceiling began to crash around me, and I had to move before I was buried alive. I just ran and ran with all the energy I had, plus more, and I only had one thought: "Get the hell out of here before you die, you git!" I ran through the chess room, where there pieces awaited their fate like noble soldiers from the army. I ran through the bird room, all the birds were in disarray and were flying all around me, scratching and pecking at my face. But then the plants came up. "The stupid, bloody plants that won't let your pass without answering a riddle first" I thought angrily. So I tried to get to the edges of the room and sneak passed them, but they just knocked me back with their brute strength. I screamed as I saw tons of loose rubble falling down onto me. My last words were "Oh God, can someone help me!" Then darkness surrounded me and I knew no more.
When I awoke, I saw only whiteness so bright that I had to squint at first to see anything, then when I managed to get used to it, I saw that everything was bright, shimmering, almost a holy white. Even the strange people with huge, flapping wings and golden halos were that white. I stood up, and then suddenly, someone grabbed me from behind. I fell over from shock.
"You have to come and see God?" This strange 'man' thing didn't look like one at all. He was so beautiful, and yet, angry and menacing at the same time. When he spoke, it was like when someone says something in a kind way when you know you're in big trouble.
"God? Who's God?"
"God is the creator and owner of heaven." It was then I realized I was dead and would never see my family or my friends ever again. He saw my face and said in a gentler voice "You still have a chance to return to earth and return to your family again and continue living your previous life, minus Leo and Eryn who will rot in hell for eternity, but it would mean forfeiting living in paradise forever."
"Can I have a chance to think about it?" He nodded.
"Of course you can."
So I went away into a far corner of this sort of waiting room, not noticing that I was walking on clouds and not falling through them.
Some time later, I came back and talked to the 'man' angel or messengers of God as they prefer to be called.
"Can I see my mum first, and then come back here to live here in perfect, eternal paradise," I begged pleadingly, almost desperately.
"I'll have to speak to Him first."
"Fair enough," I said gratefully, with a tear in my eye.
So he went away, and then I started to cry my heart out, I cried because I knew that apart from this one visit, I would possibly never see my mum again. Some time later, he came back. I was still crying, but I managed to stop when he spoke to me.
"For your actions under the Library against the evil wizard of Leo and formally Morgolgalith, He who controls all allows you to do your bidding."
"Thank you, thank you ever so much," I said, now starting to cry again.
So I was allowed to go back down back to earth for only 24 hours, and I don't want to put it in this report because it's too emotional for me still, even now. Anyway, when I come back, I was told by the 'man' angel to see Him to give him this report.
(Note: This is a story that I wrote ages and ages ago (when I was about 12), so that's why the plot's a bit rubbish, and the story isn't particuarly well written. But I haven't cleaned it up much because I was one of the first stories I ever wrote, so, you know...)

Question Description
I would like to have the list of colleges in Norway, Sweden, or Denmark which offer CAT/ACCA. It would be preferable if they can aid financially.

text: Melbourne - Record-setting world No 2 Maria Sharapova reached the Australian Open semi-finals for the loss of just nine games as she blitzed fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova on Tuesday.Sharapova, seeking her fifth Grand Slam title and her second in Melbourne, smashed Makarova 6-2, 6-2 in 66 minutes to set up a semi-final with China's sixth seed Li Na.Sharapova, who 'double-bagelled' her first two matches 6-0, 6-0, and then beat Venus Williams 6-1, 6-3 and Kirsten Flipkens 6-1, 6-0, betters Monica Seles' Australian Open record of losing only 12 games before the semis.Despite the scoreline, she insisted it had been close against Makarova, against whom she has never lost in five matches."No matter what our record is, we always have close matches," she said."It was quite close in the beginning today, we exchanged breaks of serves, but I think I ended up being the more aggressive player."Today was a matter of staying focused because I know how excited she was to play me."Sharapova drew first blood when she broke Makarova in the third game of the first set, but Makarova immediately retrieved the break to level at two-all.That was as close as it got. Makarova, who beat 15-time major champion Serena Williams in the fourth round at the Australian Open last year, was unable to settle, dropping serve again before Sharapova tore through the remainder of the 31-minute opening set.The French Open champion took unstoppable momentum into the second set and immediately skipped to a 2-0 lead. A streak of six straight games ended when Makarova finally held serve to get on the scoreboard at 1-2.Sharapova took a 5-1 lead on the back of powerful serving and her trademark forehand. Makarova offered only token resistance as Sharapova booked her berth against Li, who defeated world number four Agnieszka Radwanska 7-5, 6-3 earlier on Tuesday.Sharapova leads the head-to-head 8-4 against Li. And she denied she was underdone for the semi-finals after shipping just nine games in five matches."I don't want to give my opponents the chance to test me," she said. "Do I want them to test me? Would I prefer that? Absolutely not."

Lenders Settling Debt on Credit Cards with Consumers
Settling Debt
A new study is showing that many lending companies are settling debts on delinquent credit cards. As a new way of mitigating losses, many credit card companies are settling cards for notably less than the total amounts owed. Edward McClelland, a writer in Chicago, is a consumer who had an outstanding balance of $5,486 to deal with. At a loss, McClelland offered the credit card company's customer service representative half of the amount. Surprisingly, his offer was accepted without supervisory permission.
A growing trend with credit card companies is to accept settlements directly from customers. Due to the unemployment rate in the nine percent range and more people struggling with bills, companies are opting to take what they can get. Companies are also giving their customer service teams direct authority to settle with customers. David Robertson, publisher of the credit industry journal called "The Nilson Report," stated that "Now it's the card company calling you and saying, 'Let's talk turkey.'"
The Credit Card Secret
Many card companies are keeping their new settlement policies secret, however. Only a few are willing to disclose their new loss mitigation plans. Bank of America and American Express are both professing to using the tactic on a "case-by-case" basis. And other companies are mum on the topic, though the Bankers Association stated that settlements are a growing practice.
This change in procedures is an indicator that the credit card industry is losing some of its control over the market. The upcoming credit reform bill is another looming change that factors into lenders' planning processes. Once 2010 arrives and the bill is passed, companies will have a hard time raising interest rates and many of their once-common fees will no longer be legally applicable. The reality is that despite changes and more rules for credit cards and lenders, they are still looking for ways to find debt relief. It's estimated that credit card debt is reaching $939.6 billion and a record level is being written off. Adam K. Levin, founder of Credit.com, stated that "Creditors would rather have a piece of something now, instead of absolutely nothing down the road,"
Future Plans for Creditors
For the first time, credit agencies and banks are examining new programs that would allow counselors to use reductions of principal as part of their account settlement processes. Previously, counselors would work with companies to modify interest rates and late fees, but the balance had to remain unchanged. It was the one non-negotiable factor in accounts.
In addition, many creditors were used to being tough on delinquent customers, citing their assets as proof they could pay. In the end, creditors could sue or put a lien on the credit holder's assets. The after effects of the recession have created a credit-holding body that has less to lose. This is posing a problem with credit card companies who still want their money, but find little options on how to get it.
Credit Cards Settling Like Never Before
Debt relief for companies issuing credit cards is a number one priority. The swelling amount of delinquent accounts that have come from the faltering economy has forced them to consider a new, more realistic methodology for dealing with consumers. They are willing to settle with customers and take what they can get, rather that staunchly demand money they probably will never see.

Fall Colors Judges: Derek Chen
Yesterday we started rolling out our judges for you to meet. A varied mix, they cover the country and come from various parts of the design world. They also have their own opinions on what makes color great in a home.
Name: Derek Chen
Location: Noe Valley, San Francisco (about 10 minutes from my Potrero Hill studio)
Website: Council Design
What's your favorite color?
"It changes regularly, but today I like subdued deep blues like a pantone 5395 and raspberry reds like pantone 206. Next week I'll have two new favorites."
What's the best use of interior color you've ever seen?
Tough question, but recently designers Mike and Maaike (who've designed a chair in our collection) remodeled the small bathroom in their studio. It's risky to use bold colors in small spaces, but something works in their combination of hardwood slat shower floor and walls, concrete floor, mirror...and bright green walls.
We first wrote about Derek last year, a few months after we launched AT:SF, because we admired his designs for Urbana Design. Everyone (including people like Lorn at Propeller and Drew at Design Public) kept praising his handmade modern products, as well as his eye for color. This year Derek and his new venture, Council Design, were all anyone talked about at ICFF, and for months afterward. Here's what he says about himself:
Derek Chen is the founder of Council Design. A designer in his own right—by way of Engineering School and Silicon Valley—he is also the founder of Urbana Design, a company named after the Illinois city where he spent much of his childhood. Through Urbana Design, Chen produces sleek tabletop items and contemporary furniture. His work has been covered in media outlets including Wallpaper*, The New York Times, InStyle, and Plaza. Chen's work reveals the engineer's eye for the strategic application of technology as well as an awareness of the visual and tactile appeal of natural forms and materials—it is an easy blend of high-tech and hand-craftsmanship. He lives and works in San Francisco.
We are pleased to welcome this San Francisco resident onto our august panel!

In terms of space, IFPE was the largest ever and CONEXPO-CON/AGG was the second largest in the show's history."The construction industry has been through some very tough times, with record unemployment, but with these positive numbers we're optimistic about the future," said AEM vice-president for exhibitions and events, Megan Tanel.The shows saw a higher than ever proportion of international visitors this year, with almost a quarter of total visitors coming from outside the US."The increased global participation underscores the importance of world markets to our industry," Tanel continued. "The US economy is slowly improving and we have a way to go, but after 18 to 24 months there is more pent-up demand for equipment to be ready for the upturn."UAE - The organiser of next year's GulfRail 2012 claims the event will play a key role in the development of an inter-GCC (Gulf Cooperation Countries) rail network.The show is expected to highlight rail projects worth US$106bn in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, according to Dubai-based show organiser Al Fajer Information and Services. Commenting on the event, which makes its debut at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre next year, an Al Fajer spokesman said the overall objective of GulfRail 2012 is to "bring together the establishment of a reliable and regular high-speed rail network connecting GCC countries". To this end, the management team behind the show participated in the 59th World Congress and Exhibition of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), which took place in Dubai on April 10-14 this year.A country-wide US$11bn railway network in the UAE, spanning 1,500km of track, will be rolled out over the next 7-8 years. The network is eventually hoped to extend from the GCC to Jordan, Syria and Turkey.UAE rail expo to push inter-GCC rail planExpected to take two years to complete, the project was scaled back from an original price tag of $300m.The San Jose McEnery Convention Center (pictured) currently holds almost 40,000sqm of exhibition space.American revenues from exhibitions dropped for the third consecutive year in 2010.

Sunday School Message for Elementary School Students: Your Small Tongue Can Hurt Your Friends!
A church I know in South Korea has English service once a month. I help translating the messages from Korean to English. And I thought: 'Why let them go to waste after being preached just once?' So here's is the message for this month. This message was preached to elementary school students.
Your Small Tongue Can Hurt Your Friends!
Scripture: James 3:5 - the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. (NIV)
Let me tell you something that happened to my friend long time ago. When he was in elementary school, he got bitten by something on both knees. Do you know what that something was? It's a mosquito.
It's almost the time of the year for mosquitos to come out. Mosquitos are small insects, but they can make you itch badly. And sometimes, they can hurt you badly, too. And after listening to today's message, you might become afraid of them.
When my friend was 12, he was bitten by mosquitos on both knees. And soon, his mosquito bites got infected because he scratched them too much. He had something called sepsis, and he had to get penicillin shots for a month. And also for a month, doctors took the pus out of his knees with syringes. I'm still scared of syringes and shots. Imagine how my friend felt when he was only 12.
Jesus's brother James warns us that something very small can be very deadly. Remember how a small mosquito hurt my friend badly?
Let's read today's passage together. James chapter 3, verse 5. Since it's a very short verse, we'll read in English and then in Korean. The English version is in the bulletin.
James tells us that tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. It is as if small cigarette butt making a big forest fire. Likewise, tongue is small, but it can cause great damage. Words out of a mouth can have healing powers, but it can also have power to hurt and destroy.
That is why it is very important to use our words wisely. If not, we can hurt others with words. Careless words can cause conflicts, and harsh words can even ruin someone's life. That is why some celebrities commit suicide because of negative things people say on the internet.
But wise words can alleviate others' pains, and words spoken with love can heal others. So let's watch our mouths!
Let's pray.
Dear God, help us to use our tongue wisely. You made every part of our body, so help us to use them to do the things you like. Help us to use our tongues to speak kind words so that we may use it to heal and bless others. And if we ever spoke wrong words that hurt others', please help us to not make the same mistakes again, and give us courage to apologize to the people who we hurt with our words. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Charles Stuart Parnell
Charles Stewart Parnell (27 June 1846 – 6 October 1891) was an Irish political leader and one of the most important figures in 19th century Ireland and the United Kingdom; William Ewart Gladstone described him as the most remarkable person he had ever met.A future Liberal Prime Minister, Herbert Henry Asquith, described him as one of the three or four greatest men of the nineteenth century, while Lord Haldane described him as the strongest man the British House of Commons had seen in 150 years.
Charles Stewart Parnell was born in County Wicklow, of gentry stock. He was the third son and seventh child of John Henry Parnell, a wealthy Anglo-Irish landowner, and his American wife Delia Stewart, daughter of the American naval hero, Commodore Charles Stewart (the stepson of one of George Washington's bodyguards). Commodore Stewart's mother, Parnell's great-grandmother, belonged to the Tudor family and so could claim a distant relationship with the British Royal Family. John Henry Parnell himself was a cousin of one of Ireland's leading aristocrats, Lord Powerscourt, and also the grandson of a Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Irish House of Commons, Sir John Parnell.
Thus, from birth, Charles Stewart Parnell possessed an extraordinary number of links to many elements of society; he belonged to the established Church of Ireland (most of whose members were unionists), he was connected with the aristocracy through the Powerscourts, he was linked to the old Irish Parliamentary tradition via his great-grandfather, to the American War of Independence via his grandfather, to the War of 1812 (where his grandfather had been awarded a gold medal by the United States Congress for gallantry), and distantly connected to the Royal Family. Yet it was as a leader of Irish nationalism that Parnell established his fame.
The young Parnell studied at Magdalene College, Cambridge and in 1874 became high sheriff of his home county of Wicklow. The following year he entered parliament as member for County Meath, supporting the Home Rule party. He sat for the constituency of Cork City from 1880 until 1891.
Member of Parliament
Charles Stewart Parnell was first elected to the House of Commons (The lower level of British legislature), as a Home Rule League MP for Meath, on April 21, 1875. He replaced the deceased League MP, veteran Young Irelander John Martin. Parnell soon associated with the more radical wing of the party, which included Joseph Biggar (MP for Cavan from 1874), Edmund Dwyer Gray (MP for Tipperary from 1877), F. H. O'Donnell (MP for Dungarvan from 1877) and John O'Connor Power (MP for County Mayo from 1874) and engaged in a policy of obstructionism (i.e., the use of technical procedures to disrupt the House of Commons's ability to function) to force the House to pay more attention to Irish issues, which had heretofore been ignored.
This behaviour was opposed by the less aggressive chairman (leader) of the Home Rule League, Isaac Butt. Biggar and O'Connor Power also had links with the Irish Republican Brotherhood, a physical force Irish organisation that had mounted a disastrously inept attempt at rebellion in 1867. The question of Parnell's closeness to the IRB, and whether indeed he ever joined the organisation, has been a matter of academic debate for a century. The evidence suggests that later, following the signing of the Kilmainham Treaty, Parnell did take the IRB oath, possibly for tactical reasons.
What is known is that IRB involvement in the League's sister organisation, the Home Rule Confederation of Great Britain, led to the moderate Butt's overthrow from its presidency (even though he had founded the organisation) in 1877 and the election of Parnell in his place.
Parnell was never a great speaker in the House but his organisational, analytical and tactical skills earned wide praise, helping to take on the British organisation's presidency. Butt died in 1879 and was replaced as chairman of the League by the Whig-orientated William Shaw. Shaw's victory was temporary, however. In the April 1880 general election twenty-seven supporters of Parnell's were returned as MPs, outnumbering the support base of Shaw. In May 1880 Parnell was elected chairman of the party. Though the elections were for each session of Parliament, he remained leader for over a decade.
New style, new party, new rules
Parnell fundamentally changed the Home Rule League. He restructured it from top to bottom, creating a well-organised grass roots structure and membership to replace the League's previous informal grouping, in which MPs regularly voted differently on issues or did not come to the House of Commons at all. In 1882 he changed its name to the Irish Parliamentary Party and in 1884 imposed a strict party oath obliging its MPs to vote en bloc.
The creation of a strict party whip and formal party structure was unique in politics. The Irish Parliamentary Party is generally seen as the first modern British political party, its efficient structure and control contrasting with the loose rules and informality found in the main British parties, who came to model their party structures on the Parnellite model.
Candidate selection
A central aspect of Parnell's reforms was to ensure that professional selection of candidates took place. Previously candidates had often emerged in ad hoc arrangements, had little commitment to the party and either didn't bother to go to the House of Commons at all (some citing expense, given that MPs were unpaid and the journey to Westminster was both costly and arduous) or if they did, regularly voted against their own party. Parnell's new selection procedure, and the party oath, ensured that the party ran candidates who were committed to taking the seats and voting with their party on all occasions.
The changes impacted on the nature of candidates chosen. Under Butt, the party's MPs were a mixture of Catholic and Protestant, landlord and others, Whig, Liberal and Tory, often leading to disagreements in policy that meant that MPs split in votes. Under Parnell, the number of Protestant and landlord MPs dwindled, as did the number of Tories seeking election. The parliamentary party became much more Catholic and middle class, with a large number of journalists such as Timothy Michael Healy being elected. The disappearance of Protestant landowners and Tories from the IIP made it easier for Parnell to ensure the party voted as a block in the House of Commons.
Balance of power
Parnell's unified Irish block came to dominate British politics, making and unmaking Liberal and Conservative governments in the mid-1880s as it fought for home rule (internal self government within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) for Ireland. In the mid 1880s, Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone committed his party to support for the cause of Irish Home Rule, introducing the First Home Rule Bill in 1886. However the measure failed to pass the British House of Commons, following a split between pro- and anti-home rulers within the Liberal Party.
Though home rule was a central demand of the Irish Parliamentary Party, it also campaigned for Irish land reform. In its campaign, some of its members worked closely with an organisation known as the Irish National Land League.
Parnell was elected president of the Land League on 21 October 1879. In January 1880, together with John Dillon, he visited the United States to raise funds and awareness for the Land League. On 2 February 1880 he addressed the House of Representatives on the state of Ireland.
The association with the Land League led various members, including John Dillon, Tim Healy, William O'Brien, Willie Redmond and Parnell himself to serve periods in prison. The agitation led to the passing of a series of Land Acts that over three decades changed the face of Irish land ownership, replacing large Anglo-Irish estates with tenant ownership.
In 1882, Parnell dissolved the Land League, and founded the National League to campaign on broader issues.
The Piggott forgeries
In March 1887, Parnell found himself accused by the British newspaper The Times of support for the murders of the Chief Secretary for Ireland Lord Frederick Cavendish, and the Permanent Under-Secretary for Ireland, T.H. Burke and of the general involvement of his movement with crime (i.e., with illegal organisations such as the IRB). Burke and Cavendish had been brutally stabbed to death on 6 May 1882 in the Phoenix Park in Dublin. Letters were published which suggested Parnell was complicit in the murders. Below is the most important one.
However, a Commission of Enquiry revealed in February 1889 that the letters were in fact a fabrication created by Richard Piggott, an anti-Parnellite journalist, who later committed suicide after the letter was showed to be a forgery by him with his characteristic mistakes. Parnell then took The Times to court and the newspaper paid him £5,000 damages in an out-of-court settlement. When Parnell entered parliament, after he was vindicated, he received a standing ovation from his fellow MPs led by Gladstone. The 35-volume report did not clear Parnell's movement of criminal involvement however.
Dear Sir, - I am not surprised at your friend's anger, but he and you should know that to denounce the murders was the only course open to us. To do that promptly was plainly our best policy. But you can tell him, and all others concerned, that, though I regret the accident of Lord Frederick Cavendish's death, I cannot refuse to admit that Burke got no more than his deserts. You are at liberty to show him this, and others whom you can trust also, but let not my address be known. He can write to House of Commons. Yours very truly, Charles S. Parnell
I confess that I felt [in 1885], and still feel, a greater leaning towards the British Tory party than I ever could have towards the so-called Liberals.

Top Ten Political Scandals
More News
The biggest political scandal in U.S. history, the Watergate saga began with a 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee's Washington D.C. headquarters. The FBI discovered the burglars' ties to then-President Richard Nixon's re-election fundraising group, and the Senate Watergate Committee began investigating Nixon's role. During the Committee's hearings, it was revealed that the President's office tape-recording system may have recorded conversations implicating him in the break-in. The Supreme Court ruled that Nixon had to turn over the tapes; he resigned on August 9, 1974, with the threat of impeachment looming. [More]

January 2010 IRBS Course: Baptist Symbolics (and a bonus!)
By admin | June 2, 2009
The Institute of Reformed Baptist Studies expects to offer the course CH/ST535 Baptist Symbolics in a two week format January 11-22, 2010 on the campus of Westminster Seminary California, Escondido. Pastors, elders and other auditors are invited to attend. The cost for a Listener's Pass for the lectures is only $45.00; free housing will be available on a limited, first-come first-served basis.
Baptist Symbolics is a detailed examination of the history, language, and theology of the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 in order to understand its historical setting and its theological relevance to the present. Historical comparisons will be made to the Westminster and Savoy Confessions. Other Baptist confessions will be considered as they relate to this document.
As an added bonus for this year, the annual Westminster Seminary Faculty Conference will be held on the middle weekend of the course, Jan. 15-16. Those who attend our IRBS course will be able to register for the Westminster Faculty Conference at an additional charge. We hope that many will take advantage of this unique doubleheader!
For more information, please contact Prof, Renihan.

I've been sharing my transmogs on Twitter lately. (For example, here's my healy druid one that's pictured to the left.) Unfortunately, 140 chars isn't much room to show off what I like about them.
I wanted to post some more transmogs to Go Mog Yourself, but I felt guilty about posting just MogIt sketches rather than finished sets. I also felt bad because I designed my mog sets around my particular character, and I know some armors just don't transfer very well to other races. But I wanted some place to save and share my transmogs without cluttering up my main blog here. (Not that I post much here ever since I started writing Blood Pact.)
So I made another blog with a photoblogging theme so I can show off my mogs. For each set, I have:
- a gallery as I around to screenshotting mogs,
- some words about what I like about the mog / why I made the mog,
- restrictions, such as class or profession or faction,
- the gear itself (duh),
- & how to gather said gear
Some of the posts up aren't finished. I mean to keep it looking unfinished like that, as I put pieces in part by part, because it's a place for me to put my stuff. It's not meant to be a polished trophy case in the main hallway where everyone can notice what's missing, but maybe my little closet in my room where dust likes to collect sometimes or maybe I put things out of order every once in a while.
If you want to grab a set, that's fine. One of my warlock sets, in fact, isn't my design at all. If you want to take parts of a set, that's fine too. This is my space merely to show off what I think is cool.

I posit that Glee is a fantasy television series, in that it can be fruitfully evaluated using a focus on its non-mimetic narrative style to both comment on the traditions of the musical genre (especially the Hollywood Musical) but also in discussing "Music as Magic" and the way that said magic can be transformative, liberating, and revelatory.
From the ubiquitous piano player — "He's always just around" to the fact that in Glee, seemingly everyone can instantly learn arrangements and choreagraphy and the elaborate fantasy sequences which bleed in and out of the diegesis, we have what could be described by some as Slipstream, some as Urban Fantasy, and possibly even Magical Realism (though less so on that one, given what I see as a lack of a definitive tie to the fairly culturally-specific tradition of Magical Realism).
Why does this matter?
1) If Glee is a fantasy series, then the places/times when it diverts from realism can be seen not as a violation of believability inspiring a rolling of the eyes, but a demonstration of the times when life is not enough and extra-normal storytelling is required. This brings back my beloved Etienne Decroux quote:
"One must have something to say. Art is first of all a complaint. One who is happy with things as they are has no business being on the stage." — Etienne Decroux
And to paraphrase my former professor John Schmor, Musicals are a complaint that life should be more marvelous — why don't we just burst into song when mere speech can no longer contain our emotional intensity?
2) It allows Glee to be more easily analyzed in the context of other SF/F musicals such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Once More With Feeling," Fringe's "Brown Betty" and so on.
3) It allows the use of the scholarship regarding the metaphors of the Fantastic to be applied t the series. It also enables scholars to bring to bear Samuel R. Delany's notion of SF/F as a literature that allows for the "literalization of the metaphor" — music is soul-healing, music is empowering, music enables people to express themselves in ways they had previously/traditionally not been able.
These are merely preliminary thoughts. Look for more in time, as I believe this approach is the one which allows me to most effectively analyze the series.

Yes/No question - HELP!!
Hi Forum!
This is a bit silly - I asked a horary yes/no question which I have never done before, and I'm not sure how to interpret this. I did look at some of the other posts with this type of questions, but I am stumped with the significators.
The question was, Did it matter to him what I told him today?
I need to add that we are not lovers, but I am interested in him. I like him a lot. I think he likes me at least a little. That's all.
I take it that the question is ruled by the 5th. That's because IF the answer is affirmative it would mean that he is interested in me.
So I have to see if Mercury receives any positive aspects. It doesn't. Not only that, but it moves into a quincux with Neptune. I take this to mean confusion, because deceit just doesn't fit. He has nothing to gain from deceiving me or himself.
The 11th is ruled by Jupiter, which does receive a trine from sweet Venus, but it is separating, so NO here again. Also, Jupiter is in 4th, the end of things, which means a superficial friendship is all there will ever be for us?
Jupiter also moves into a sextile with Chiron, not sure what that means, and then into a square with Neptune, again!
I am not sure about the significators here. I am Saturn, but is he really Sun? He is not available because married, so he can't be ruled by the 7th. He is ruled by the 5th? So Mercury then, which - well, we went through that already.
If ruled by the 5th, then HIS 5th is in Scorpio, the ruler of which is in HIS 12th, meaning what? In the end of the thing is in Libra, ruled by Venus in HIS 3rd. I am not sure I understand what any of this means.
Am I making everything too complicated here?
Thanks for reading and taking a look.

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Hi there,
So what exactly are you looking for from this question?
In other words, is this question
about your conversation (what do you mean by 'matter to him'?), or is is
, "Does he like me as much as I like him?". In horary you can ask pretty much any question you want, but most of the time, there is a question
the question that is asked, especially if you are new to horary. There is an art to asking a good question, and it's important to be as honest as you can about what it is you are asking. If you can clarify this matter a bit, we'll be better able to help you read your chart!
And PS. just a suggestion, but you don't need all those asteroids in a horary chart; just the basic planets, maybe the North/South nodes, and Part of Fortune will do nicely.
PPS. It isn't a 5th house matter; it's a 1st/7th house matter. You are the 1st house. He is the 7th house. The other houses *may* matter, depending on what it is you're really asking!

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Hi Archergirl!
You are so right about the asteroids. I put them in there for my own amusement and forgot to remove them before posting. I edited the image above. Much cleaner now.
Anyway, the subtext may well be, does he like me as much as I like him, but that is NOT the question I asked, and I have a reason for that. I very purposefully asked precisely the question that I did, and frankly, it IS a 5th house question. No question about it
What am I looking for from this question? You can call it a preliminary question, if you will, and I think it's completely legitimate.
As far as your saying it's a 1/7th house question, I think it is foremost a yes/no question, and apparently (I only just learned this myself today) ruled by the nature of the question. If you scroll down in the horary topics you'll see one that asks "Does she still like me" or something like that. It is, just like mine, a yes/no question, and he uses the 5th house.

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Well folks: Having looked again at the question..Did it matter to him what I TOLD him today?" so I see this question as a house three question and take the querent as asc and quesited as House 7... (do I hear the sound of eyebrows being raised???).It is about *communication*.
The asc is ruled by saturn, (which is in his H1- but house 7..Traditionally this says this chart should not be interpreted...and should a client's chart yield this placement I would proceed no further..however for the sake of the learning opportunity I will proceed....)
The communication itself is ruled mars (late degree of Aries) and largely intercepted by venus...(the true nature of your question I suspect).
Mars is in HIS house 10 - your house 4 (the end of the matter).Mars is applying a square to uranus(and the moon)..This communique was very unexpected, from his point of view.As the sun is square to mars it may even have angered him.Mars applies a trine to neptune...in your first house (ie you)...The message itself matters more to you- or you have imagined it having a different outcome to what happened in reality.
I am picking up on a love triangle here....His ruler is the sun (square to the ruler of your message) and conjunct you..Venus however, on his cusp is dropping by, coming back,the same venus that is opposite YOUR neptune..the same venus that intercepts your message...another woman...
Your ruler saturn and his are conjunct, but square to mars and the moon applies to a square to mars as well- maybe you will regret the message...
The moon is applying to conjunct Uranus (rebellion against..)and oppose mercury (natural ruler of messages) and mercury applying to square Pluto.Last aspect of moon also a square to Pluto....I think the answer is not simply a yes or no answer because you have not asked a yes or no question, not really...Neptune right near your asc might explain the trouble with the question itself...something, perhaps, that you would rather ignore here? Anyway, please let us know what transpires...best wishes, Lillyjgc

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Nice one this. I think Lilly is right in suggesting the 3rd house. I also take it and as I am busy recently with the "Yes and No Technique" by Edmund Jones, I take the 3rd as the relevant house in this question and it's opposite, the 9th. 3rd is ruled by Mars, the 9th by Venus (that is you by the way). So what are these two doing? As I recently learned, Venus is retrograding towards Mars and will sextile it. Conjunctions, Sextiles and Trines mean a YES and squares and oppositions mean a NO. So, here it is a yes,
and I think he
does care
about what you said to him. Looking a bit further, I think it will make him think of his social standing or the question had to do with future developments between the two of you. (Venus, ruler 10 and Jupiter co-significator). You will, like Lilly also mentioned, probably regret having asked the question.( Venus retro) or would like to make things the way they were before. I could go on looking at other things, but it is in fact irrelevant to the question which only was: does he care.

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Thanks, Lilly and Starlink! This goes to show how much
know :60: ...
I guess, when in doubt, look at the verb. I said indeed, what I TOLD, not how did he FEEL. Hence, 3rd house. Cool.
I am taking this as a learning experience even though I might not like the ultimate answer I'll derive from this, which I still think is no, btw.
Starlink, I am not quite understanding what you mean by Jupiter being my co-ruler. Didn't you say Venus is because aurus is opposite of the 3rd in Aries? How does Jupiter enter into this picture?
And the other thing is, retrograding Venus, even though moving toward Mars, never reaches him. I believe Venus turns direct again at the 16th degree? Anyway before reaching the 13th, for sure. So, doesn't the sextile have to be exact?
I only just started to familiarize myself with the forum part of this wonderful site, and so I realized, after posing, that there are some links on the bottom to horary tutorials, one of them by Celeste Teal (LOVE her!!). And she points out again (I think I once knew this already) that the Moon is extremely informative in pointing to the past and the future in the situations asked about. The first planet contacted while in a particular sign shows what one can expect. In this case the Moon contacted Neptune, and that is entirely appropriate since I "fell under his spell" so to speak during an opposition of my progressed Moon to natal Neptune.
The next planet contacted by the Moon is Uranus which in turn is going to be in an exact quincux with retrograding Venus. And the final aspect will be a square to retrograde Pluto. None of this looks promising, in my view.
So, maybe he does "care" about what I said, Starlink (why did you think that again?) but this caring of his will not affect my life in any way. That's what it looks like to me, anyway.
Also, Starlink, you say Venus is ruler of the 10th. It looks like Scorpio, i.e. Mars is ruler of the 10th, so Jupiter (social standing he is thinking about) isn't in the 10th either, but it's actually Mars in the 3rd. (He is afraid of gossip, maybe?)
Also, one more thing. I never read this anywhere before, but Celeste says that if the querent's significator is retrograde, the Moon becomes the sig. instead. So this applies here then since Venus is my sig. and retro.

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Hi Ceres, thanks for clarifying. One has to do this because human nature dictates that if things can be unclear, they will be!
I agree with Lillyjgc, this is a 3rd house question, as related to the 1st/7th rulers. However, I disagree here:
The asc is ruled by saturn, (which is in his H1- but house 7..Traditionally this says this chart should not be interpreted...and should a client's chart yield this placement I would proceed no further..
because the fact that the
is ruled by Saturn, and is placed in the 7th house of the Other Person, is very relevant indeed.
Lillyjgc, I think this Saturn rule
applies when Saturn is not the querent or a relevant significator to the question.
The fact is, she is placed in his house in a detrimented position, and this is very telling.
Celeste says that if the querent's significator is retrograde, the Moon becomes the sig. instead. So this applies here then since Venus is my sig. and retro.
Celeste might say this, but this is patently untrue! You don't just 'switch' significators simply because one of them happens to be in an undesirable position. Retrograde, detrimented significators are VERY important in a chart in describing the position of the person/thing it represents in relation to the question. There is a reason for *everything* shown in a horary chart, and therefore the state of the planets MUST be given very serious consideration! I can't stress this enough.
As to the question, I think the end answer is 'no'. Mars, which rules the 3rd (your communication), is peregrine in Gemini; it has no strength, is 'wandering'. The Moon, which can represent both 'you' as the querent, and also represents the major 'thrust' of the question (so to speak), is also peregrine in Pisces.
Venus, which rules *his* thoughts/speech, communication, is in really bad shape. It applies to sextile Mars, your communication, and perhaps this means that he is/was receptive to what you said; but because of the retrograde status I think this interest will not last. Neither planet has much power to act.
I am also wondering whether he already has a girlfriend, because Venus on the cusp of the 7th is a strong indicator that at least one of the parties involved, is either married or already shacked up with someone else. In fact, it unfailingly (in my experience) indicates someone else on the scene.
None of the significators in this chart is strong. The Sun, him, is peregrine in Virgo. You, Saturn, are also in bad shape; the good news is that you are about to 'feel better' (about yourself?) with Saturn's ingress into Virgo. There, you will be stronger than him, and more able to act. Right now, neither of you are able to do much.
The Moon applies to square Mars; this is like you going against yourself, or saying something on the spur of the moment which you may regret later.
The Sun also moves to square Mars, and this may be the final indication that whatever it was you said, will not have the outcome you desired.

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Hi Ceres! Sorry, Each planet in a house is important and can be used as a co-significator
.(Venus, ruler 10 and Jupiter co-significator).
What I meant here is not that Venus is ruler of the 10th, sorry, I wrote it in such a way that you indeed get confused here. When I mentioned that he probably was thinking about his social place in the community or something like that, I combined in my head, Venus (you), and the ruler of the 10th (which is Mars) and Jupiter. You see, I saw Venus walking up to Mars and then I see that Mars is also ruler 10, not only the message or what you said to him, but also something to do with the 10th house, so my mind went to: she said something to him that made him think of a 10th house matter. I know, a bit complicated indeed.
About that Venus:
And the other thing is, retrograding Venus, even though moving toward Mars, never reaches him. I believe Venus turns direct again at the 16th degree? Anyway before reaching the 13th, for sure. So, doesn't the sextile have to be exact?
Yes, that is what I also thought but AG taught me recently that if you look in the ephemeries, you see that Venus and Mars will make contact before Venus turns retro. I looked it up lateron in an article called " How to beat Time" from John Frawley. He says that indeed there are two ways of looking at this. One is that you consider Mars as standing still and Venus just transiting towards him but at 16° turns direct, so no contact. The other is to look in the Ephemeries and there you see that Mars also moved towards Venus and they meet each other on the 4th of September at 17°. Venus goes direct only days after that. Frawley also says that he himself does not know which one to use, the transit or the Ephemeries, leaves it up to your intuition I believe. He writes: "so when to go for the true aspect and when for the transit?", I dont know!
So this leaves us also a bit in limbo really. AG goes by the true aspect and apparently has good results with that.
So that's why I said, Yes, I think he cares about what you said, but that can also mean that he is upset about it. If you are upset, you also care about what has been said. I did not necessarily mean that he "cared" about you and what you said. That's why I also added that you might be sorry for what you have said. Hope I cleared this up a bit for you. Cheers! Star.

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Oh and another thing. I was only trying out the "Yes & No" technique and in this one, you are Venus. Opposite you is what you said, the message so to say. This technique only looks at Venus as the opposite of that remark and one only looks at a trine, conjunction or sextile between Venus and Mars or a square between them to find a yes or a no. It does not really mean that you are signified per sé by Venus here. You must look at it in a more abstract way. The real significator of this chart is not Venus, but Saturn and he is the Sun. (so you do not have to take the Moon instead of a retrograde Venus, because that does not count in the yes or no technique) I really should not mention this, it is very different from the normal approach. I should use it as a back-up for myself really. So what AG wrote there is the basic horary approach. The Yes or No technique was developed to give an immediate answer without looking into anything else. There is also a big difference between a question where someone can still do something or where he or she cannot do anything about the outcome, so in this last case, it is final. Complicated but for me very interesting.

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!

Ain't that the truth... lol.
AG, you know, it's interesting about Celeste, I love her work in predictions, but in the horary tutorial she doesn't mention at all the dignity of the planets (unless I missed it) and it's true, they are so important. And I agree with you, if the significator is retro or whatever, that in itself is crucial information. It's like you say,
is important in an horary chart.
Interpreting this chart is a lot of fun, because actually, whether the answer is yes or no is probably no more than an ego thing, or whatever. I mean, Neptune IS in the first house, and I think it mirrors my state of mind right now pretty accurately. And in fact, one could even say that this chart should never have been read in the first place, because the question is rather, well, not frivolous, because I am obviously emotionally involved, but it is ultimately immaterial. It's a theoretical question, in a way. Because, AG, you are right on the money: there is another woman. (Someone else mentioned a love triangle earlier, was that you, Starlink?) I didn't know this when I fell for him, but I know it now, and that puts an end to it right then and there. Getting involved with someone who is already with another woman is not only a recipe for heartache, it is also like begging for
bad karma.
That's not going to happen to THIS girl!! So, while I am still attracted to him, and acknowledge that he is cute as a button, he is strictly hands-off. Period.
So even though what I am asking about is in a way an idle question, and none of my business, and it might not even have been read by someone else, isn't it amazing how revealing this chart is of the whole situation! That's why I sometimes wonder about "invalid" charts because too early or late in the rising sign, it indicates the trend, something too early to tell, or too late, but I bet if one looked at the rest of the chart it would probably mirror the situation pretty accurately.
Starlink, I see what you are saying about Jupiter in 10th, and there might be something to it. Your last posting is particularly interesting. Yes, there are different ways of looking at it, there are layers, so to speak, in one and the same chart. That's what AG was referring to in her first reply, what's the real question here. And I think, again, this chart says it all: if looking for a yes/no answer, ok, he cares, but not in a way that affects the big picture. So it is a yes, but when you look at the real significators, it's all the way what AG said, the sigs are all in feeble positions. Even if we
to get involved, our hands are literally tied. We are too weak against this whole framework that is set up against us.
As far as what I said to him - the comment keeps coming up that I might be sorry about what I told him. I hardly think so... To put any possible lurid thinking to rest
, all I did was mention in passing, in the course of a normal conversation that was vaguely related, that I was getting a divorce. Which is true, and he was going to find this out anyway from other people. So, I didn't say anything off the wall or inappropriate in any way, and I don't quite understand even where you guys see that in the chart, that I mioght be sorry later. Could you just clarify that for me, I'm interested to know.
Thanks AG and Starlink, you have really taught me a lot with your interpretations. I learned a whole bunch.

Re: Yes/No question - HELP!!
Hiya Ceres,
The only reason I said 'you might regret it' is because of the applying squares: the Moon squaring Mars (the 'thrust' or intent of the action (your comment) vs. the action (comment) itself); and the Sun's applying square to Mars (your guy vs your comment). It may not be regret, necessarily; just difficulty or dissatisfaction or 'not the result you wanted'. Mars is a malefic, especially when it has no dignity; malefics in bad shape sometimes have undesirable effects because their worst qualities are emphasized, like a mangy dog trapped in a corner, and squares can be antagonistic. But it depends on everything else in a chart as well. It's all contextual!
Hah, that Venus in the 7th never lies! I should have it tattooed on my arm.
I enjoyed your comments about invalid charts and whatnot. The more I look at charts, the more I think
there's no such thing as an invalid chart
charts can be read, although in the case of, say, a chart with a 28 degree ASC, a VOC moon in a malefic degree, and the querent combust, one might advise the querent to ask again later when they're feeling better!

Assistant football coaches move from job to job for many reasons, often not of their own choosing. Michael Smith's decision to leave Kansas State for Arkansas was a two-parter: Expanding his resume and doing what's best for his family.
Smith, a former K-State wide receiver who has coached that position group the past four years, was named receivers coach at Arkansas on Thursday by first-year coach Bret Bielema.
"It's been one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make," Smith said Friday. "We've had great times here and I have so much respect for coach (Bill) Snyder and the guys I worked with on the staff and my kids that I coach so it's been a real, real tough decision for me. From a professional standpoint, it's one that needed to be made and I'm excited about the opportunity.
"I'm so appreciative of so many people that have been involved in my life and my coaching career here at K-State. They'll never know how much I appreciate them. It's a family decision, it's a professional decision and one I feel good about it."
Smith's departure came four days after Wildcats defensive ends coach Joe Bob Clements accepted a position at Oklahoma State. Smith, who played for Snyder and was on his staff from 1995-2005, said the moves aren't a signal that Snyder, 73, is contemplating his second retirement.
"Coach Snyder isn't going anywhere," Smith said. "He's vibrant, he's putting in the work and Kansas State will be fine. It was a hard decision for me but coach knows a lot of guys in this profession and he'll get the right guy in for Kansas State."
Smith and Bielema, who moved to Arkansas from Wisconsin, worked together for two years when Bielema was co-defensive coordinator at K-State in 2002-03. The Wildcats were Big 12 champions in 2003.
"I have a previous relationship with Bret and I am familiar with him," Smith said. "He's a guy I won a championship with. It's just like when I went out to Arizona, I was comfortable around Mike Stoops, so I know how he (Bielema) coaches. We have some of the same goals in life so we're going to try to pursue those together."
Smith said he hopes one day to be a head coach and experience at various programs is part of the process. He spent one year at Rice (2006) and one at Arizona (2007) between his stints at K-State. He played at K-State from 1988-91 and reached the NFL for one season with the Kansas City Chiefs (1992).
"When I was a player I wanted to reach the pinnacle of going to the NFL and when you get into college coaching it's to be a head coach at this level or the NFL," he said. "That's always been my aspiration and Bill Snyder and the guys I've worked with have always helped me to try to get there.
"Coach Snyder sent me to the Champions Coaches Forum this summer and it was a great experience for me and kind of opened my eyes to things I need to do to progress in my career."
