SUMMARYThis study shows, using approximately 400 astrological charts of mostly public personalities, correlations between astrological patterns and political/ethical ideologies. The primary indicator of political/ethical ideology is the asteroid Pallas, followed by Venus and the Moon.
Pallas in aspect to the Sun, Mercury, and/or the North Node ("Defensive Pallas") tends to increase a native's libertarian or philosophically non-aggressive tendencies. Pallas in disharmonious aspect to Jupiter, in any aspect to Pluto, or in a stronger aspect to the South Node than to the North Node ("Aggressive Pallas") tends to increase a native's philosophically aggressive or authoritarian tendencies. The placement of Pallas on the natal chart is a reliable indicator of the degree of government control the native considers acceptable. Aspects of Pallas to planets which rule one of these factors also affect the chart (libertarian charts, for example, can have Pallas in aspect to the ruler of the Sun rather than the Sun itself). Also, aspects to the ruler of Pallas affect the chart.
The placement of Venus also shows a correlation with ideology, with regard to wealth. Venus or the Second House ruler conjunct or trine the North Node ("Solid Venus") usually indicates especially strong free-market capitalist tendencies. Conversely, charts of persons with leftist or government-interventionist economic views tend to have Neptune or the South Node in aspect to Venus, the ruler of Venus, or the Second House ("Fluid Venus"). While "Fluid Venus" is present in nearly all the charts of leftists in this sample, it is not a reliable indicator that the native will adhere to lefist economics. Many natives with the pattern will shift to non-interventionist economics after a comparative study of economic systems (common in cases with a strong "Defensive Pallas" placement); others will adopt right-wing coloration without changing their underlying economic views in order to gain political influence.
Cultural conservatism, as differentiated from libertarian (small-government and/or anti-war) conservatism and economic (laissez-faire) conservatism, may be connected to the astrological placement of the Moon and the Fourth House. It is common for cultural conservatives to have the North Node in aspect to the Moon, the Fourth House, and/or their rulers ("Solid Moon"). Conversely, the South Node and/or Neptune in connection to the Moon or Fourth House ("Fluid Moon") may indicate a departure from socially conservative values. Cultural conservatism and cultural liberalism can coexist with any combination of Pallas and Venus factors, though cultural conservatives often politically align themselves with fiscal conservatives and cultural liberals with economic leftists. Due to the difficulty of obtaining birth times for many charts, this factor is more difficult to track than Pallas and Venus.
LIBERTARIANSDefensive Pallas, Venus and Moon indicators variable.
This group of charts typically displays strong Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of force or violence against non-agressive parties is generally unacceptable. Persons with libertarian leanings who support a militarily proactive foreign policy are listed here as paleoconservatives.
LEFT-LIBERTARIANSDefensive Pallas, Fluid Venus, often Fluid Moon.
This group of charts typically displays strong Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of force or violence against non-agressive parties is generally unacceptable. They believe that members of society should share their material goods (usually voluntarily), and this is typically reflected in aspects to Venus and/or the Second House (or their rulers) by Neptune and/or the South Node. Surprisingly, there are as many cultural conservatives as cultural liberals in this group, as indicated by the Moon.
PALEOCONSERVATIVESDefensive Pallas with weaker Aggressive Pallas traits, often Solid Venus, often Solid Moon.
This group of charts typically displays strong libertarian Pallas aspects and weaker authoritarian aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of force or violence against non-agressive parties is unacceptable under many conditions. They view government as necessary but ideally limited in size and scope, though they often disagree on where and how much government should be limited. Nearly all members of this group believe that physical defense should be socialized (that is, funded by involuntary taxation of the populace and controlled by a central authority). The Venus indicator for interventionist economics is often weak or absent in this group.
PRINCIPLED PROGRESSIVESDefensive Pallas with weaker Aggressive Pallas traits, Fluid Venus, often Fluid Moon.
This group of charts typically displays strong libertarian Pallas aspects combined with authoritarian aspects that are nearly as strong, and economic-interventionist Venus patterns. This is consistent with an ideology that holds that the use of violence or the threat of violence against non-aggressive parties is justifiable under some but not all conditions. For example, principled progressives hold that it is acceptable for a government to forcibly appropriate the property of any individual ("taxation") but not that of another government ("war"). They typically believe in an economic system that is highly controlled by a central authority. Unlike partisan progressives, who will side with the left wing of the power elite under all circumstances, principled progressives will criticize their own political faction when the faction strays from its stated ideology. Most members of this group also have the Moon in aspect to Neptune and/or the South Node, suggesting cultural liberalism.
RIGHT-WING PARTISANSDefensive Pallas and Aggressive Pallas traits of equal strength, Solid Venus and/or Solid Moon.
This group of charts typically displays both libertarian and authoritarian Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of force or violence against non-agressive parties is acceptable under many conditions. They will often extoll the virtues of "limited government" but will always expand the government upon attaining power. All members of this group believe that physical defense should be socialized (that is, funded by involuntary taxation of the populace and controlled by a central authority).
LEFT-WING PARTISANSDefensive Pallas and Aggressive Pallas traits of equal strength, Fluid Venus, often Fluid Moon.
This group of charts typically displays libertarian Pallas aspects combined with authoritarian aspects that are approximately as strong, and economic-interventionist Venus patterns. This is consistent with an ideology that holds that the use of violence or the threat of violence against non-aggressive parties is generally justifiable to support a social ideal. They will support the left wing of the power establishment under virtually all circumstances (sometimes with token protest), even when their political faction when the faction strays from its stated ideology. Since 2007 the (American) Democratic Party has proven to be not significantly different from the post-2000 Republican party: partisans have thus been easy to spot.
RIGHT-WING AUTHORITARIANSAggressive Pallas, often Solid Venus, often Solid Moon.
This group of charts typically displays strong anti-Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of violence against non-agressive parties is generally acceptable. Most notable authoritarians, including those associated with the Right, rely on the confiscation of wealth to fund their enterprises and their economic indicators will lean mostly leftward. Most "right wing" authoritarians are actually economically leftist with some concessions to capitalism, and their conservatism often tends to be cultural rather than economic. Some exceptions are noted here.
LEFT-WING AUTHORITARIANSAggressive Pallas, Fluid Venus, often Fluid Moon.
This group of charts typically displays strong anti-Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of violence against non-agressive parties is generally acceptable. These persons will often pose as members of another group.
UNCLASSIFIED AUTHORITARIANSAggressive Pallas, Venus variable, Moon variable.
This group of charts typically displays strong anti-Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of violence against non-agressive parties is generally acceptable.
NOTES ON ASPECTSI find it useful to employ wider orbs on most aspects than I do when reading charts for clients. Using wide orbs helps to explain probably a hundred or so cases in this study that would be difficult to explain otherwise. Here I use up to 12 degrees for a conjunction, nearly as much for an opposition, up to ten degrees for a trine or square, and three degrees for a quincunx, sextile, or sesquiquadrate. I try to stick to within two degrees for more minor aspects.
Noel Tyl's 165-degree "Quindecile" aspect also helps to explain many cases that would otherwise be puzzling. While the aspect is not in wide use by most astrologers, it has proven significant and applicable here.
THE MOONThe Moon in astrology rules the home, the land, family (and the extended family: tribe, race, nation), and culture. This sounds exactly like a list of talking points for a Republican politician in the USA. In fact, the data show a near-total correlation with the natal placement of the Moon (or the Fourth House, or the rulers thereof) relative to the Nodes -- with cultural conservatism in the political arena.
A natal chart of a politically active person with a "Solid Moon" aspect (described at the top of this page) who does not have the "Fluid Moon" aspect is virtually guaranteed to self-identify as a conservative. This placement indicates the native will identify with the political Right even if a "Fluid Venus" pattern is present. Persons in this latter category often support tariffs or trade restrictions in the name of fortifying the nation against foreign competition. Austrian economists point out that these types of policies have an identical economic effect as the high taxes supported on the Left (who also have the "Fluid Venus" pattern) and essentially act as taxes on the general population which are paid to the industries that lobby for tariffs, etc..
As to be expected, the "Solid Moon" types are highly identified with and protective of their race, land, and culture. The members of this group without a particularly strong liberarian "Defensive Pallas" pattern can usually be tricked by politicians into supporting any sort of governmental policy cloaked in the rationale of "keeping us safe" and "protecting the homeland". These policies nearly always have the opposite effect of the stated goal: pre-emptive wars waged against non-aggressive nations in the name of national security create enemies where none existed before; police-state measures enacted in the name of domestic security merely allow thugs in uniform to run roughshod over the populace. All such measures drain a nation's treasury and contribute in a real way to the nation's decline. The Moon, while a necessary component in any healthy psyche, is not known for behaving logically.
The "Fluid Moon" aspects, involving the Moon with Neptune or the South Node, conversely indicate cultural liberalism. These natives will often subconsciously favor foreign cultures and nations over their own, and act to break down cultural norms and boundaries in their own land. They are considerably more tolerant of elements foreign to the culture in which they reside and show a great deal of "open-mindedness" to anything other than the dominant culture itself.
PALLASSome astrological writing refers to Pallas as the "protector of civilization", with little or no elaboration. This may be because Pallas rules the ability to refrain from aggression. Non-aggression is the enabler of trust: persons who cannot refrain from aggression cannot be trusted by anyone unable to fully control them. Trust is the basis for agreements. Agreements comprise civilization.
Pallas is one of several planetary archetypes which indicate modes of combining energies. Venus attracts and forms associations but does not adhere without outside help. Saturn binds and ties together, often by force. Neptune merges and eliminates all trace of the identities of those he joins. Pluto annihilates and transforms through power. Pallas is the weaver: she combines threads together to form a pattern larger than the individual threads, yet without causing any single thread to be anything less than it was before. Pallas does no damage, weaving and un-weaving threads while leaving them inviolate.
The natal placement of Pallas indicates the native's preferred system of social organization, ranging from the Market (where all activity is consensual and no transactions occur without the consent of all involved parties) to the Gulag (where no activity occurs without the consent of the central authority), and all states in between (governments with limited powers). The Market is inherently capitalist, recognizing the right of all human actors to lay claim to physical resources beginning with their own bodies and extending to non-human resources not already claimed. This may be why Neptune-Venus has a much-reduced effect on natives with a strongly "Defensive Pallas" or libertarian natal pattern. It also suggests a metaphysical resonance between Pallas and Venus, perhaps the opposite of the resonance between Neptune and Venus.
In the Palladian weaving of the Market, all voices are heard and none are forcibly silenced. This weaving, while enriching all of its participants, enriches most those who participate the best, who give in trade to their fellow participants whatever it is they most value. Those who do not or can not participate lose nothing, and often gain from the generosity of market participants who are inclined to give freely. The market thus provides for the helpless, but discourages the freeloader because there is no structure which forces the productive market participant to feed him.
The Market is not only the structure of social interaction in human society which Pallas promotes, but also the process of deduction in the individual Palladian mind. The Palladian mind allows all ideas and information to participate regardless of her personal feelings and biases. She rewards with weight the ideas and information which weave best with the other participants in the market of the mind. The ideas which cannot enrich or support the other players in the mental market recede in importance and leave the market, perhaps to return later if the market changes. The Palladian mind thus makes her assessments using the cold inner capitalism of the logical process. She is unswayed by passion or outside pressure and so reaches conclusions which are powerfully logical but often do not make sense to minds driven by emotion or social convention.
The Palladian mind is the essence of humility. She recognizes that neither she nor anyone else can have all the answers for everyone and so supports logical and social processes that take this into account. The authoritarian mind is the opposite: it blindly assumes its own superiority over all other minds. This blindness is the authoritarian's undoing.
The extended monologues by Francisco D'Anconia and John Galt in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged are excellent examples of the Palladian mindset, here set in constrast to the energies of the collectivist Neptune.

PALLAS AND GUN CONTROLPallas, as warrior-goddess, is associated with weaponry. As noted elsewhere on this site, Pallas with the Moon is key to the chart of the martial artist, who has turned the human body into a weapon. My current theory regarding persons who have an aversion to guns (and often desire to ban them) is that the Pallas placement of these persons indicates this attitude. More research is warranted, but the formula for an anti-gun personality may be a non-libertarian mindset (the presence of significant "Aggressive Pallas" aspects) and Pallas and/or her sign ruler in aspect to Saturn.
Persons on this page fitting the pattern: Michael Bloomberg, (Rahm Emanuel), Dianne Feinstein, Dennis Kucinich, Rupert Murdoch, Ralph Nader, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer.
Alternately or in addition, Neptune (as the glorifier of victimization and helplessness) may also be involved with this viewpoint.
NEPTUNE AND THE POLITICAL LEFTAstrologers have long noted a connection between Neptune to the political and cultural Left, but almost always briefly and in passing. Neptune has managed to avoid the spotlight with regard to political astrology and full extent of his effect on politics is invisible to the bulk of astrologers.
This research has shown a clear correlation between Neptune (or the South Node) to the political Left. The correlation is starkly visible in the realm of economics: Neptune (or South Node) in combination with Venus (or the Second House, or the rulers thereof) is present in virtually all of the hundreds of charts of economic leftists in this sample. The pattern is particularly strong in the charts of persons who passionately support economic redistribution (e.g. Marx, Keynes, or Krugman) rather than merely cooperate with the party line. The astrological symbolism behind this correlation is obvious: Neptune (the dissolution of distinctions and boundaries) and Venus (money, material goods). The fact that this connection is not common knowledge in the astrological mainstream is a testament to the power of Neptune to act unseen. (Donna Cunningham noted in a lecture at the 2012 UAC conference that persons with an 8th House concentration were more likely to be dependent upon others for financial support, often through welfare programs. This is consistent with my observation here that economic leftism sometimes shows up as the South Node in the 2nd House and the North Node in the 8th House.)
The connection of Neptune (or South Node) to the political Left is interwoven into the fabric of modern culture, in addition to being prominent in astrological charts. For instance, it is a common stereotype that leftists will tend to merge (Neptune) their social and economic lives (Venus) and homes (Moon) together in large coastal cities (Neptune again, ruling water) while conservatives prefer more clearly defined boundaries regarding their property and social structures, more easily available in areas with lower population density. In Europe as well as America it is states bordering the water that tend to institute large state-welfare systems and collectivized medicine -- coincident with economies that periodically "dissolve" as per the Neptunian paradigm.
The Left is more egalitarian and fluid (Neptunian) with regard to socially acceptable roles of gender (Venus). On the Right it seems culturally more acceptable to treat the sexes as inherently different (with both positive and negative consequences). Conservative pundits often observe that female political personalities on the Right are more attractive (i.e. Venusian) than those on the Left. There is a similar observation about male political personalities on the Left being more beautiful than those on the Right. These are arguably Neptunian effects.
Neptune's affiliation with all things foreign expresses itself in policies popular on the Left: avoidance of aggression against foreign nations (while aggressively taxing and regulating small businesses at home), opening borders to foreign immigration, and making education and other government programs more amenable to speakers of foreign languages. Mainstream right-wingers display a somewhat opposite behavior, demanding increased freedoms for native citizens but happily supporting government-sanctioned murder outside the border (carried out, paradoxically, by a socialized military). Both sides view aggression as acceptable in one arena but not in another: Neptune helps to indicate where that aggression occurs.
Neptune's effect on art also expresses itself in the Left/Right cultural divide. Popular music favored by the cultural Right (such as Country music or "Classic Rock") leans to the more stylistically conventional and displays more craftsmanship than innovation. Music on the cultural Left may be more transcendant or imaginative, often at the expense of discipline or refinement. It is also "hidden in plain sight" that that most artists and musicians displaying a very high degree of (Neptunian) creativity lean politically to the Left and that Hollywood (ruled by Neptune) also leans leftward. Neptune's rulership of the world of fashion is also easy to see: one can take it for granted that the hipster and the fashion mogul are both going to live on the political Left.
Neptune's victim-savior dynamic is very much visible on the vanguard of leftist social discourse, particularly at schools. Modern education since the neo-Marxist Frankfurt School has continually taught of the victims of Western civilization and the White Man. These victims (Blacks, women, gays, etc.) must be "saved" from the White Man, usually by the State (never mind that White Man generally runs the State). This education tends to overlook the fact that groups who elude the arms of the compassionate nurturing State (e.g. American Jews, Asian Americans, despite well-documented oppression) tend to thrive far ahead of the "saved". As often stated by (Black) economists Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell, the state of Black America has imploded since the institution of the Great Society programs that claim to help them. Countless other such examples of the destructive effects of the State-as-Savior abound in the literature outside of the Neptunian political bubble. Neptune is far more interested in the perpetuation of the dynamic than in fostering self-sufficiency in those he helps.
While Neptune has much to recommend him in the realms of culture, art, and spirituality, his rulership over left-wing economics brings into serious question the integrity of redistributive economic systems as a whole, aside from the fact that such systems assume an incorruptible central authority capable of instantaneously ascertaining the needs of an entire population as they arise. Neptune brings to the forefront genuine social and economic concerns, but then proposes cures which make the disease worse. Witness in 2012 the inevitable collapse of the Neptunian "social democracies" of Europe, which in the end will see a die-off of the dependents of well-intentioned but unstable social welfare systems. The bodies are already piling up in Greece. Neptune is not known for reliability and clarity: should we trust him with our material well-being? Neptune has ways to keep us from asking, or even thinking of, this question.
Neptune rules the mode of consciousness of young children, inhabiting a world run by forces beyond control and understanding. In the mysterious Neptunian world of the child, needs are not met by working and trading one's hard-earned resources with others for mutual advantage: needs are magically fulfilled by the powers-that-be, godlike parents, when the child demands they be met. This magical view of how needed goods reach the public (they are provided by the powerful when the childlike people demand them -- work to actually create the goods is not needed) is ubiquitous in far-Leftist social discourse. Socialist flyers pasted to lampposts in liberal American urban centers quite seriously declare that the proletariat need only demand its "rights" and the need to work at all will miraculously vanish. This childlike view of economics is an appropriate and necessary phase of human development for the very young. As a mode of perception in the adult world, it spells economic turmoil, war, and death as people stop producing the goods they require to survive and adopt predation over production.
In the political realm, the very concept of "the collective" as a tangible entity is arguably a Neptunian dream with no physical reality. The human collective, the "social" on which "the social contract" rests, is merely an idea which generally does not reside in all the minds of those it claims to include. It is a convenient abstraction, the definition of which moves fluidly to meet the whims of its promoters. In fact, it is very often the promoters of the idea of the collective who most flagrantly violate the idea by exempting themselves from the fictional responsibilities of the collective. One need only examine the exuberantly wasteful and consumptive lifestyles of Al Gore or any Communist leader to see that "the collective" is not only a romantic notion but very often a lie used to justify a lust for power. More social good is done in the world by those who recognize the inherent right of all individuals to to act freely as long as such actions do not harm other individuals.
The rulership of the lord of dreams and delusion over the political Left extends into the Left's view of itself and its history. True to the Neptunian archetype, the Left's history of itself is highly romanticized, exaggerating elements of its heroism and compassion, and brushing off inconvenient truths which do not agree with the fairy tale. Some examples: Mao Tse Tung, the greatest mass murderer in human history, whose crimes are often brushed over or forgotten on the Left; Che Guevara, a homicidal maniac who enjoyed personally executing anyone who disagreed with him, still adorns T-shirts of Neptune's children; Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose policy of willfully destroying the American food supply during the Dust Bowl demolishes any claim to a humanitarian legacy; Al Gore, whose deep ties to Ken Lay and Enron remain unknown to the public and whose ethanol subsidies resulted in the deaths of 10 million of the world's most impoverished per year; the minimum wage, which was originally instituted as a way of keeping blacks out of the American work force; Social Security, which, when it was implemented, was set beyond the life expectancy of the average black male, essentially making it a tax on being black; the deep eugenecist roots of the Progressive movement; the complete failure of both Keynsian and Friedmanite economists to predict any of the major economic disasters of the 20th century; the consistent correlation of the welfare state with increased unemployment and povery...
The deceptiveness of Neptune's children regarding their own history extends far beyond merely a desire to view one's history in a more favorable light than fact provides. In the deeper leftist circles, far above and beyond the sight of the well-meaning rank-and-file, the deceptions are very deliberate. The official crest of the socialist Fabian Society is, quite literally, a wolf in sheep's clothing; this reflects the organization's mission of injecting socialist ideology and policy under other guises. Original members of Greenpeace have long since left the organization and their movement, complaining that their original vision of conservation and environmental awareness has been co-opted by "watermelons" (green outside and Red inside). The presumably conservative National Review and the neo-conservative movement were both from inception populated by hard-left Trotskyites. Deception, both willful and otherwise, is also one of Neptune's gifts to humanity.
The end of Neptune's Age of Pisces will be a great loss to humanity in the form of artistic and spiritual depth and creative imagination. It may also, however, herald an age in which hyper-idealism and delusion do not rule humanity's poltical and economic processes as much as do boring intelligence and cold logic. The poor and downtrodden of the world may have a better chance at surviving and improving their lot in life under a social structure not so heavily under the influence of the god of pipe-dreams and self-undoing.
A strong libertarian "Defensive Pallas" placement will often nullify Neptune's effects on economic views. In myth, Athena (Pallas) and Neptune were sibling deities who once undertook a contest to see which one the mortal humans appreciated more. Athena won by a single vote, and Neptune in his anger flooded an entire region. To this day, Neptune's most dedicated acolytes on the political Left passionately hate Palladian libertarians.
Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is an outstanding if exaggerated depiction of the social, political, and economic effects of Neptune upon a population. Neptune is the nameless force of irrationality and destruction against which Rand's protagonists struggle in the novel. The author's personal experiences in Soviet Russia lend her a firsthand understanding of Neptunian energies lacking in most American-born authors.
NEPTUNE AND THE SOCIO-POLITICAL CYCLENeptune's power to dissolve forms in politics is apparent when comparing the sign ingresses of Neptune to the generational periodic "Turnings" of Strauss-Howe generational theory. The theory aptly describes modern Western history in the past five centuries in terms of a "Saeculum" or a recurring series of events lasting roughly 90 years. This period, approximately the length of a full human lifetime, is also half of the orbital period of Neptune. Each Saeculum starts with a "High" or period of economic and civic growth, and ends with a "Crisis", marked by economic destruction and wars.
Virtually all of the "Crisis" periods described by the theory correspond to the periods that Neptune occupied the tropical signs of Pisces or its opposing Virgo. Fittingly, these signs are the last in their respective halves of the zodiac. The "Crisis" period that does not fit the pattern saw both Uranus and Pluto consecutively transiting Neptune's home sign of Pisces. (Another astrologer has theorized that these periods correspond to times when Pluto, Uranus, and Saturn form angular aspects together -- I cannot locate the article but recall that the astrologer resided in Texas and made a strong case.)
1461-1482: Crisis: War of the Roses -- Neptune: Virgo 1466-1479
1566-1587: Crisis: Armada Crisis -- Pluto in Pisces followed by Uranus 1552-1591
1674-1700: Crisis: King Philip's War -- Neptune: Pisces 1684-1696
1767-1791: Crisis: American Revolution -- Neptune: Virgo 1766-1779
1843-1859: Crisis: American Civil War -- Neptune: Pisces 1847-1860
1925-1945: Crisis: Great Depression/World War II -- Neptune: Virgo 1930-1943
2005- Crisis: Global Financial Crisis -- Neptune: Pisces 2011-2024
While Mao's genocidal Great Leap Forward occurred under a Pluto ingress into Virgo, it has generally been Neptune, lord of the political Left (and not Pluto, the nominal lord of death), which has ruled over humanity's periodic purges of the weak and the unlucky.
THE CONSERVATIVE ALLIANCEBased on this astrological theory, the mainstream political Right may be a more diverse group than the mainstream Left. Where on the Left, virtually the entire sample possess the "Fluid Venus" pattern (with a significant subset also possessing the "Fluid Moon" pattern), it is possible to divide the Right into four overlapping camps.
The "Solid Venus" camp seem to consist of persons who are fiscal conservatives but who may be culturally liberal or conservative. Margaret Thatcher, for example, was a socially liberal fiscal conservative.
The "Solid Moon" camp is full of cultural conservatives with a deep desire to defend what they perceive as being their national heritage, who may or may not be fiscally conservative. Ronald Reagan was culturally conservative but his massive expansion of the federal government was anything but fiscally conservative.
The third camp is not particularly liberal or conservative on culture or economics, and aligns with the other conservatives by default. Clint Eastwood may belong to this camp.
The fourth camp are left-wing infiltrators; there are many of these in politics. It seems far easier to find closet left-wingers among conservative leaders than it is to find right-wingers posing as liberal leaders. This is another indicator of Neptune's rulership of the Left: true conservatives may lack the guile to pose as anything other than what they are. This is a large camp, of which I consider Mitt Romney, John McCain, and the entire Neo-Conservative movement members.
Overall, the Right may be not so much an ideological camp as an informal alliance of factions aligning against the Left. My suspicion is that what we know as the Right might disperse and lose interest in politics altogether if they didn't feel threatened by the incursions of Neptunianism.
As on the Left, a strong libertarian "Defensive Pallas" can obviate the planetary placements associated with the Right. Pallas has a strong tendency towards market capitalism as per the "Solid Venus" crowd, and she can curb the desire of the "Solid Moon" faction to forcibly impose their cultural values on others.
URANUSMany astrologers attribute political conservatism and the US Republican Party with Uranus. Studies reportedly exist showing that Republican figures are disproportionately Sun-sign Aquarians. There may well be such a correlation, but this study shows that Venus, Moon, and Pallas aspects are usually sufficient indicators of cultural and economic conservatism.
Dale O'Brien's historical research on Uranus uncovers some fascinating parallels between Uranus ingresses and crimes committed by political elites. In my own work, there is a statistically significant correspondence of an exaggerated Uranus with authoritarian activity (for example, the last three US Presidents as of 2012 all have Uranus conjunct North Node). I attribute this Uranus connection not to a desire to harm or control others, but to an impulse to act without regard for the consequences. If this is the case, this tendency would naturally be more visible in persons who (due to the placement of Pallas) have little reservation with harming others to achieve an end. At some point I hope to explore this connection more fully.
The brilliant (and left-wing) astrological historian Richard Tarnas has made an opposite assertion: that Uranus is the planetary representative of the Progressive Left and that Saturn represents a repressive Right. This idea is not without intuitive sense, but does not appear to fit the data. Saturn appears to be prominent in the charts of persons across the entire poltical spectrum (perhaps in himself indicating an interest in politics or the -Saturnine- structure of society). I have not yet found a correlation with Uranus other than in making authoritarian personalities more dangerous. It is possible that we are both correct and that Uranus may apply to the political Left in mundane astrology where Neptune applies in natal astrology.
ASTROLOGY HAS A LIBERTARIAN BIASThis theory and the volume of data behind it support a libertarian world view in several ways.
First, they indicate that political ideology (at least in politically active individuals) is primary based on inborn tendencies and not on education. This is one of many reasons why humans will always disagree on political and economic ideology and that any attempt to force a single vision on a population of significant size will always meet with overt or covert opposition. The more centrally-controlled a system is, the more rapidly it collapses, for both these reasons and due to economic problems (as demonstrated by Ludwig von Mises). The best hope for the stability of any political system is to allow for as many persons as possible to live and self-organize according to their inborn tendencies. This is inherently a libertarian principle.
Second, the data show that astrology classifies politically active individuals into categories corresponding with a libertarian world view. For example, a left-wing world view might classify FDR and Noam Chomsky as "left-wing" and Ron Paul, William Kristol, Ronald Reagan, and Adolf Hitler as "right-wing". A right-wing world view might classify Ron Paul, FDR, Adolf Hitler, and Noam Chomsky as "left-wing", and William Kristol and Ronald Reagan as "right-wing". A libertarian scholar, however, might classify Ron Paul as a "libertarian", Noam Chomsky as "left-libertarian", FDR, Reagan, and Hitler as "left-authoritarian", and Kristol as "right-authoritarian". The astrological data support the lesser-known libertarian classification system. This work is organized in a similar system.
This helps to explain that while many astrologers are actively political and believe that astrology can accurately describe the human psyche, apparently none have prior to this point published a reliable astrological method for determining political tendencies. Because, as Rudyhar notes, astrology is actually ruled by Neptune, most astrologers lean strongly to the political Left. Their tendency, thus, to adhere to a leftist system of political classification leaves them without the proper intellectual framework with which to assess astrological data pertaining to political ideology. Neptune's penchant for selective blindness and self-deception probably also come into play. As a result of this natural bias, astrology has been heretofore unable (or unwilling) to fully apply to political ideology, despite the tools having been available for over two centuries (Pallas was discovered in 1802). This may also mean, sadly, that an accurate astrological system for classifying political views may never be embraced fully by the astrological community.
Third, the data strongly support a non-mainstream, libertarian, interpretation of history. In an America where the population has learned its history through government-controlled schools (largely designed by the Rockefellers and their ilk -- please see the work of John Taylor Gatto and Charlotte Iserbyt), most Americans have learned a version of history designed to flatter the political puppets of the power elite. For example, FDR, Abraham Lincoln, and even Che Guevara are practically gods: criticism of them is blasphemous in most circles. The strict libertarian reading of history, well-supported by documentation which academia sheepishly kicks under the table, shows all three men and many other modern deities to be unrepentant mass-murderers with little or no respect for human life. Astrology vindicates the libertarian interpretation of history with regard to such individuals.
Fourth, this study all but proves the assertion by libertarian intellectuals (not to be confused with conservatives labelling themselves as libertarians) that their philosophy is the natural extension of non-violence. It undermines the claim on the Left that libertarians are driven primarily by a lack of empathy and the claim on the Right that libertarians are merely another type of leftist. The astrology suggests that libertarianism is driven primarily (or totally) by respect for human rights and the refusal to initiate or participate in aggression.
The data show clearly that Pallas is an integral factor in ideological traits that both the Left and the Right hold dear. On the Left, Pallas is what differentiates true progressive champions of peace and tolerance from mass-murderers posing as friends of humanity. On the Right, Pallas is what separates true advocates of limited government, economic freedom, and the right to self-defense from "Republicans in Name Only" who increase the crushing power of the state while mouthing conservative platitudes. The "inner libertarian" as indicated by Pallas is indispensable to every human being who believes in a civilization ruled by anything other than the dominance of the strong over the weak. The Palladian-libertarian impulse is the basis, both in life and in the astrological chart, for every victory of reason over violence. The data show that libertarians are persons for whom Pallas is a central driving force on the natal chart rather than a sideshow.
Fifth, Pallas is the goddess of wisdom, skill, and intelligent strategy; few astrologers will interpret her in a conflicting light. This project shows that Pallas is unabashedly libertarian. The resounding message from the astrological universe, for those able to hear it: wisdom is peace and respect for the rights of others. A philosophy of freedom, based on non-aggression, is the natural manifestation of logic. Libertarianism is an integral expression of wisdom herself.
PALLAS THE NOVELUnbeknownst to me when I arrived at the "Libertarian Pallas" premise in 2011, libertarian science fiction author L Neil Smith had published his novel "Pallas" three decades previous. An extended libertarian screed in narrative form, "Pallas" is a miniature epic meditation on freedom versus tyranny, the role of weapons and violence in oppression and defense against oppression, emnity and revenge, and, eventually, wisdom. This reflects with startling clarity my view on the astrological function of Pallas as the prime arbiter on the natal chart of the ideological considerations surrounding the use of force, and on libertarian-to-authoritarian ideology. To my knowledge, Smith is not an astrologer and this is one of those serendipitous "coincidences" that astrologers are fond of pointing out with regard to astrological bodies.
PALLAS AND THE FUTURELibertarianism, thanks to the Internet, is enjoying a massive and under-reported resurgence in modern society. This in conjunction with the appearance of L Neil Smith's novel "Pallas" and my own recent discoveries on Pallas' astrological function seem to suggest that the astrological power of Pallas herself is increasing. Perhaps this coincides with the observation (by Don Cerow and other astrologers) that the age of Aquarius is technically starting now according to the constellations, accompanied by a reduction in the power of Neptune as the age of Pisces comes to a close. Whether this is the case may become more evident when Neptune leaves Pisces in 2025. Neptune and Pallas can certainly co-exist but Neptune doesn't like Pallas in the political arena; he finds it easier to get his way (economic and cultural dissolution, etc.) under the dictatorial systems that Pallas opposes.
My research into this topic is ongoing. This page continues to grow and change with the addition of new information and the formation of new conclusions. I welcome debate and dissent, and will happily link to any web sites proffering alternate views on the astrology of political ideology. Write to me at "alan" + "@" + "zot.net".
Saturn-Venus contacts are more common on the Left than in other groups.
Saturn-Jupiter contacts are somewhat LESS common on the Right than in other groups.
Jupiter in Sagittarius or amplified by the North Node is MORE common in the ideogically nebulous than in other groups.
Jupiter, thus, may not indicate a consistent ideological position so much as a tendency to loudly proclaim the ideology of the moment.
Jupiter to South Node contacts are somewhat less common on the Left than in other groups.
Uranus-Venus contacts are more common on the Left than in other groups.
Uranus to North Node contacts are more common in the hard authoritarian group (and to a lesser degree the Leftists) than in others.
None of these influences is anywhere near as strong as those described in the bulk of this site: Pallas, Venus, the Moon, the Nodes, and Neptune.

A private fishing boat tows a second fishing boat back through the entrance of Sebastian Inlet.
On any given day, entering and leaving through the Sebastian Inlet can be a treacherous task for boaters who are not familiar with its rough water. Recently, three boats had to be towed back through the rough water by a commercial fishing boat, a private boat and Sea Tow all within an hour or so.

Skillet Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

boatdrinkqueen1 Posted: 06/12/11
I've been making this cake for several years, always using the express recipe and it's delicious. Quick and easy to make and my family loves it!
softbreeze Posted: 05/23/12
Cristinaponce, the first thing the reciped directions say is to melt butter in skillet...your rating is faulty because you didn't read the directions. Is that the only reason you wouldn't make it again? Your mistake... Yummy cake.
sharonrc Posted: 06/20/13
I have tried this recipe many times during the last 10 yrs. I do cut down on the sugar, and it always comes out yummy.
DesertWoman Posted: 01/05/13
Great recipe. Just like I remember growing up. So good
BettyCruz Posted: 12/01/13
Soooooo delicious! If you like sweets make as instructed, if not, use less sugar. We love it sweet so I baked as is except used fresh pineapple. Will definitely make again.

Death of a Visionary
Steve Jobs died tonight. I owe much of my electronic life since 2005 to him.
They canceled the class due to low enrollment… I am absolutely heartbroken and devastated.
Modern Family
One of the best shows on TV today, if not THE best. :)
One Small Step
So, I'm about to take a great leap… okay maybe the smallest leap I can take without interfering with work, while still in the pursuit of my dream. I signed up for an evening class for Fantasy Illustration, two blocks from where I work. The class begins at 7pm on Weds, so there should be no difficulty merely walking over there after work.
I have to say I'm truly excited. This may well be the first step in pursuit of what I should have been pursuing since I strolled out of the womb. I've always loved drawing and about 6 years ago, I mustered up enough dough to invest in a Wacom tablet so I could take my expression to the computer for digital painting. Recently, I've begun to draw again… small things, mostly, but evocative in some regard. I tend to draw with a Bic® clicky black pen and improvise as I go. The things I draw are often in the realm of the surreal, grotesque, and perhaps even cartoonish, but at the same time, it's never childish. I truly hope this course brings out some energy in me, distracts me from my everyday mundane work, and inspires me to learn more.
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
New Beginnings
Here's to a fresh start. [raises glass]

This conversation is closed.
TED Conversations structure should be re-thought to produce better organised conversations.
TED Conversations' nesting structure allows only 3 levels. This means that a sub conversation that would naturally continue past this becomes fragmented as people reply to earlier posts in the thread but actually reply to the 3 deep nested post.
I'm sure there are some small changes that would improve things.
Obviously if no-one else finds this a problem worth addressing please say so.
My 2 suggestions are:
- Allow deeper or unlimited nesting with optional collapsing of each branch of the conversation. This may have been rejected when designing the current system to stop sub conversations overtaking the main point of an conversation. Though this seems to happen anyway.
- Allow replies to a users own posts. This wouldn't change things much but would allow things to stay slightly neater as 3 deep nested conversations would be able to continue in a sequential fashion rather than plonking their posts on earlier or later posts higher up the tree.

D HJul 2 2011: Yea I like the idea of a collapsible conversation branch to keep things tidy, and unlimited nesting.

Beautiful This was a last minute selection! I ordered it in the champagne color and it was so wonderfully different. The picture does no justice and I will say it doesn't look like much on the hanger. I urge everyone to try things on while you are searching, I was willing to try anything because you just never know. This ended up being exactly what I envisioned! I will follow up with pictures! May 19, 2011
LOVE LOVE LOVE I had my heart set on strapless but for every one I tried on I just felt so-so. Then my sister pulled this one off the rack and as soon as I looked in the mirror I knew it! I absolutely love this dress! It was so much more flattering to me than strapless and has such a delicate but sophisitcated look to it. I want all the non-skinny girls to know this is a winner! I'm a bit overweight (I want to lose 10-15lbs by the big day) and I'm apple-shaped (all my weight is in my stomach and chest and I have no waist definition and thin legs), so I have a hard time looking shapely, but I felt pretty in this even at my current weight. Also, I'm a 36DD and I don't feel self-conscious about my large chest like I did in the strapless dresses. Everything looks in proportion. I could not be more thrilled! May 5, 2011
I love my dress! I had actually bought another dress and wasn't in love with it- I think that I had been too concerned with the budget and a little self-conscious about my figure. DB let me exchange my first dress, and I found this one! The fit is beautiful, and I am in love with the beading on the lace. I ordered the dress in ivory/ivory because I wanted less of a vintage look. I think that the beading stands out even more on the ivory than on the champagne sample that I tried on. Love the dress- thank you DB! May 4, 2011
Loved my dress! I loved this dress from the moment I first put it on. Like others have said, the photo doesn't do it justice. I opted to use a low back multi-way bra from Victoria's Secret instead of sewing in cups or using a strapless. This worked perfectly for me. The ivory and champagne colors looked lovely for our fall wedding. I got so many compliments on the dress, the best came from my groom who still grins just thinking about seeing me on that day 7 months ago! May 3, 2011

Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
Compiled by: Bindu Misra; Illustrations by: Neelima Bhushan
He was born to teach as a major part of his life was spent as an academic. He taught philosophy at the universities of Andhra, Mysore and Calcutta. He also held a professorship in eastern religion and ethics at Oxford.
His distinguished academic career included the Chancellorship of Delhi University and vice–chancellorship of Benares Hindu University.
Dr Radhakrishnan wrote many books popularising Indian traditions for the west. He emphasised the need for India to establish a casteless and classless society. As a philosopher, Radhakrishnan espoused a modern form of Hinduism that attempted to embrace and reconcile with the world religions.
His books on Indian philosophy include The Philosophy of Upanishads, Eastern Religions and Western thought, East and West: Some reflections. Radhakrishnan led the Indian UNESCO delegation in 1946. He was appointed Indian ambassador to USSR in 1949. He then became the vice president of India in 1952 and was finally elected as the President of India in 1962.
Radhakrishnan who had a British knighthood (1931) and an Oxford professorship, and who did not participate in India's struggle for freedom, became important in the political life of independent India. As a tribute to this highly renowned and revered teacher Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan we celebrate his birthday as the Teacher's Day.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I've had guildies who obsess over sims and sheets so much that the theoretical 500 dps increase they got by spending thousands of gold to tweak gems and enchants is offset by bad reaction time and poor situational awareness.
Most people who would even consider simming anything already know the important aspects of their class, and generally aren't going to embarrass themselves. At this level of player, overall DPS is going to have a lot more to do with knowing the fights in and out, knowing your class extremely well in practice, and just playing a lot. With limited time in the day, I just feel it's better spent improving in-game rather than inputing figures into a spreadsheet.
I'm not saying sims are bad, if you have the time then go for it and you will improve even more. Just that if you have to choose between the two, unless you're utterly clueless about rotation and which stats are important to you, in game practice is probably more useful in the long run.

Toledo Hits the Court in Tulsa
Sept. 28, 2013
Tournament Bracket | Live Stats
The match, played at the University of Tulsa's Michael D. Case Tennis Center, will begin at 3:30 p.m. The first round of the draw includes 128 of the nation's top players.
Toledo, who ended last year's spring season ranked No. 80, is coming off a 25-11 season, including an 8-4 ledger in fall play. At the All-American Championships a season ago, the Hamburg, Germany native dropped matches to Emilio Gomez of USC and Malte Stropp of Mississippi State in the main draw.
Fellow junior Lock finished his sophomore season with a 21-15 singles record, including a 6-4 mark in the fall. A native of Harare, Zimbabwe, Lock is one of four players from Florida State to make the trip to Tulsa.
The winner of the match will play the winner of the match between Max Schnur of Columbia and Behzad Minavi of Texas A&M Tuesday. A field of 64 singles players will then compete in the main draw which begins Thursday.
Singles quarterfinalists will receive an automatic entry into the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships on Nov. 7-10, held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, NY.
Following Toledo's appearance at the All-American Championships this week, the Gophers will pick up play back in Tulsa at the USTA/ITA Regional Championships Oct. 17-21.

U.S. gov. accidentally publishes own short-URL 'admin' API key
Summary: Days after the Go.USA.gov short-URL service's API became available to U.S. government employees, the department accidentally published the admin username and API key, allowing hackers to potentially create short URLs to phishing, scam or malware-ridden sites.
The U.S. government mistakenly published a secret administrator's username and private API key on its short URL website that could have potentially allowed anyone to redirect Web users to malware-ridden pages through the official U.S. government short URL service, ZDNet has learned.
Australia-based self-confessed "Internet geek" Jack Cola discovered that the private API key had been posted on the Go.USA.gov API documentation page, with the username of the administrator's account and the private API key in one of the examples.
This allowed Cola to use the administrator's username without a password, along with the private API key string, to direct users clicking on an apparently legitimate U.S. government shortened URL to a potentially harmful page.
The API works like this:
By plugging in the appropriate values along with an administrator's login and the private API key, one would think it would be as easy as that? Wrong. The flaw was not as simple as that, and in spite of a little extra legwork to get the API to work from an unauthorized domain name, hackers are clever folk (just in case you didn't know.)
Cola told ZDNet that the API is "pretty smart," and checks to make sure that the short URL is sent from an official U.S. government domain -- such as .gov, .mil, .edu domain names -- for example. He said that many U.S. government websites still use open-redirect pages to direct users outside their websites.
As ZDNet's Michael Lee reported last week, scammers discovered a way to link scam or phishing sites through the official 1.USA.gov or Go.USA.gov short URL service by a third-party URL shortener, such as Bit.ly. (1.USA.gov is powered by Bit.ly, while the Go.USA.gov is powered in-house.)
The GSA worked with Bit.ly to correct the vulnerability and close the 1.USA.gov loophole that allowed open-redirects and must now go through the Go.USA.gov site -- which is open to U.S. government employees only. However, many of these open-redirects are still in operation, in spite of the malware risk warning by security giant Symantec.
Though this third-party loophole is now closed, it is still possible to use U.S. government open-redirects through the API. But because it is open only to U.S. government employees, it means the Go.USA.gov short URL service is secure and trusted.
Again, wrong.
A GSA spokesperson said: "The API key given as an example is not active," but she was unfortunately misinformed.
Anyone visiting the API documentation page would have been able to curate unauthorized links purporting to be from the official U.S. URL shortening service. While the "admin" username has since been replaced with "test," a Google cache of the page from earlier this month still shows the "admin" account in the example string.
By replacing the {user_name} with admin and {api_key} with 770915505bafb779557abb98
dec929dc, along with a link of your choice appended to the end of a U.S. government open-redirect page, the API believes that the non-official link appears to be coming from a trusted U.S. government domain. No API is that clever, after all.
Here's an example of what it would look like:
dec929dc&shortUrl=http://www.healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/LinkClick.aspx?link= http://www.jackcola.org
As a result, Cola used the service to turn his own webpage -- www.jackcola.org -- into an official U.S. government short URL link -- go.usa.gov/YGmR. At the time of writing, this link was still in operation but may since be removed.
However, within a couple of hours after a Cola informed the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the "admin" username was removed from the site, and the private API key has now been changed, and returns the following value:
{"response":{"errorCode":"1105","errorMessage":"Invalid API key","statusCode":"ERROR"}}
Earlier today, when we verified the private API key, it was active and working, and returned a valid server response indicating that the originally published private API key was in fact valid, in spite of the GSA spokesperson's response.
While Cola was kind enough to reach out to ZDNet only after he received confirmation that the vulnerability had since been patched and the private API key changed, if the self-confessed "Internet geek" was clever enough (and lucky to stumble upon it in the first place) to spot it, others may have done, too, including hackers, scammers and malware writers.
"It's a bit embarrassing in what they've done," Cola said.
Yes, yes it is.

KIM KARDASHIAN finally ended her self-exile since her disastrous promotional trip to Australia because she was seen cheering on her brother, ROB at ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" the other night.
Was this the reason why Rob and partner Cheryl Burke got three perfect 10′s from the judges? Because they were so inspired by her presence?
On the other hand, maybe judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman were so busy staring at Kim in amazement, they never really got to take a closer look at Rob's freestyle number…
Kim was flanked by momager, Kris Jenner, and sisters, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian.
Oddly enough, Kim was dressed in a suit…none of her skintight and flirty numbers…to cheer her brother on, and she didn't display any outright exuberance, either as she politely clapped and bared some teeth for Rob. Would've looked suspicious if she didn't…and even more so if she didn't show up at all.
Apparently, her somber face wasn't working enough to stir up public sympathy to her "plight." But she still has one more card up her sleeve: she's planning to use the soon-to-premiere season of "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" to publicly bash Kris Humphries as a verbally abusive and belittling sort of husband.
But will that strategy keep her detractors from signing the "No More Kardashian" petition that has swelled to 165,700 signatures, to date?
Take a quick look at tuxedo-clad Kim in the audience at Rob Kardashian's "DWTS" freestyle number and tell us what you think…

(ATLANTA, GA) -- As accusations about pro athlete's visits to the Gold Club in Atlanta many of the sports stars have denied the allegations of have just stayed quiet. At least one, Antonio Davis, a forward for the Toronto Raptors is fighting back.
Davis will go national to dismiss the sexual allegations that surfaced about him at the Gold Club racketeering trial last week. Davis, a Christian who is married with children is also talking to attorneys about suing witness "Ziggy" Sicignano who mentioned Davis as one of the players on the Indiana Pacers who received sexual favors for attending the Gold Club. Davis will appear on "The Last Word", hosted by Jim Rome on Tuesday to explain his side of the story.
Many sports agents and team representatives have been cringing at the possibility of their clients or players being mentioned in testimony since a negative backlash could affect commercial endorsements.

Endogenous Time Preference and Strategic Growth
AbstractThis paper presents a strategic growth model that analyzes the impact of Endogenous preferences on equilibrium dynamics by employing the tools provided by lattice theory and supermodular games. Supermodular game structure of the model let us provide monotonicity results on the greatest and the least equilibrium without making any assumptions regarding the curvature of the production function. We also sharpen these results by showing the differentiability of the value function and the uniqueness of the best response correspondence almost everywhere. We show that, unlike globally monotone capital sequences obtained under corresponding optimal growth models, a non-monotonic capital sequence can be obtained. We conclude that the rich can help the poor avoid poverty trap whereas even under convex technology, the poor may theoretically push the rich to her lower steady state.

Southern Cal sputtered its way to a 17-14 victory against Utah State on Saturday. Cody Kessler got the starting nod at quarterback and completed 13 of 26 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, and running back Tre Madden rushed 24 times for 93 yards and a TD, as the Trojans compiled just 282 yards of total offense – 3 less than Utah State.
Utah State was averaging 49.3 points per game, good enough for 8th in the nation, so if USC fans want to look for something positive out of an another lackluster performance, perhaps look to a strong defensive effort. But, let's be honest, the Trojans are not looking the greatest this season, at least against quality opponents.
Utah State beat up on Air Force (52-20) and FCS opponent Weber State (70-6), so it's not exactly like USC was up against a proven juggernaut.
At 3-1 on the season, the Trojans have an opportunity to make something out of their 2013 campaign still. After losing their Pac-12 opener at home to Washington State, USC will travel to #23 Arizona State next week for another big test in conference play. This game should serve as a barometer to see if Lane Kiffin has made the adjustments necessary to compete in a tough conference.
If you win every game by three points, the only thing that matters is that you won. Let's see if that Trojan defense can be enough to support their as-of-yet- anemic offense.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
As an experienced player, I can safely say that levelling a new character of a new class teaches me bugger all about the class. I still stand by my opinion that endgame WoW can only be learned from external sources created by people running detailed analysis on all parts of the game.
Once you've got some experience of the game, it's not hard to figure out how a class works and what their abilities do. Learning how to play a class properly is another matter entirely. If levelling was an evolutionary process it'd be different, but many classes don't have their core abilities until a long way up the levelling hill (anyone levelled a ret pally recently?) or have essential early game abilities become marginalised (you'd think warriors would use heroic strike more, considering it's the first skill they have.)
So, by your argument, you should have no problem with folks that buy/RaF/etc an insta-80 and then want to join your Ulduar raid. According to you, leveling to 80 didn't teach them their class, and they should be able to learn their class playing with the other lvl 80s in raids.
I will agree that leveling to 80 teaches nothing about raiding at 80. But that's equivalent to saying that school grades k-12 teach nothing useful for college. If you don't know what your class does, how to fiddle the interface, mods, chat, etc, then you're not going to be able to learn how to raid at 80. Conversely, leveling to 80 DOES provide a foundation for learning to raid.
Leveling teaches the class.
Raiding teaches how to use that class to raid at 80.

Hodgkin Disease (HD) Banking Study
Protocol Number:
Allen Chen
The goal of this study is to collect and distribute samples obtained from subjects with Hodgkin Disease.
Age less than 22 years Newly diagnosed untreated Hodgkin's Disease
You are going to have a biopsy (or surgery) to see if you have cancer. Your doctor will remove some tissue to make the diagnosis of your disease. If you have already had a biopsy, we ask that you allow any extra tissue be used for this study. If you have not already had a biopsy, we would like to take some extra tissue and blood for special laboratory studies. These studies will look at genes in the cells to see if genes affect how tumors respond to treatment. We will also like to use these tests to understand why some tumors spread faster or slower. If you are not currently receiving therapy and are returning for a follow-up visit, we ask for permission to use tissue that had been previously collected and is now currently stored. To help us find out why some people get Hodgkin Disease, why some people have worse complications from treatment and why some people with Hodgkin Disease respond differently to treatment, we would like to do some blood tests. If you were just diagnosed, when blood is taken for standard tests, we would like to take an extra 1-4 tablespoons. The times that extra blood is taken will depend on the therapy that you are receiving. For example blood may be collected at the following time points: ?before treatment; ?during week 1; ?at the time of your first restaging; ?at the end of treatment; ?end of radiation (if given); ?one year after treatment; and ?if your disease comes back.

For those keeping score at home Donovan McNabb has almost as many absurd statements to the media this season as touchdown passes. First it was in response to questions about his work ethic, then it was saying he "absolutely" should still be the starter and then yesterday it was a bizarre interview with NFL Network's Andrea Kramer on his treatment when with the Washington Redskins. Here is how the conversation went with Kramer…
Kramer: But even your longtime agent said the way that Shanahan handled you was "disrespectful and disgraceful."
McNabb: Well, I mean, it speaks for itself.
Kramer: What are your thoughts on that?
McNabb: Disrespectful and disgraceful.
Kramer: What was disrespectful and disgraceful?
McNabb: No one needs to know on the outside what's going on in the building. None of it needs to be played out in the media. You go to practice, you have a conversation with somebody in the morning, all of the sudden later that afternoon you basically hear the whole conversation that was played out behind closed doors, that's handled unprofessionally.
Really Donovan… The Redskins were disrespectful and disgraceful? The same Redskins who traded for you in 2010 and then later in the year gave you a $78 million contract extension later in the year? The same Redskins who watched you throw more interceptions then touchdowns for a losing team? The same Redskins who then traded you to your first choice of teams in the Minnesota Vikings over the offseason? Would have it killed to simply say "no comment" or laugh it off rather than taking a subtle shot at a former employer?
If history serves as any indication for what's ahead it's only a matter of time for McNabb runs his mouth to the media again saying something idiotic about his current team. After all, this is Christian Ponder's offense now for the remainder of the 2011 season. Oh and hopefully for 2012, 2013 and 2014 while we're at it. There simply is no going back to McNabb now.
Perhaps the Vikings best option would be to cut McNabb now. Yes, there have been stories where McNabb's studied film with Ponder helping the rookie out. But who's to say that McNabb's presence won't be a hindrance to Ponder's development for the remainder of the year? Ponder couldn't spend his time studying film solely with offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and quarterbacks coach Craig Johnson? Cutting McNabb move Joe Webb to backup taking practice snaps with the second team offense and free-up a roster spot to sign another quarterback. Hometown kid Adam Weber would be avail to sign away from Denver's practice squad or Louisville product Adam Froman (no relation to Abe Froman the Sausage King of Chicago) is currently without a team.
The Vikings again have to think of what is best for this teams future with every personnel move made. McNabb doesn't have a future here. Might as well end it sooner rather than later.

If the Father God had not sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us, we would have never known the Holy Spirit. Get to know all three persons of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Begin with asking Jesus to forgive your sins and receive Him into your heart as your Lord and Savior. He will introduce you to the Father and the Holy Spirit. It will make life worth living and make troubles smaller than our BIG GOD, who is able to do anything we can't possibly do.
"For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." 1 John 5:7
