'and on that farm he had a .... crocodile!' announced Sarah.
'But there aren't any crocodiles on farms, Sarwah,' pointed out A.
My daughter and my niece were singing "Old Macdonald Had a Farm" in the back of the car. Both girls were about 4 at the time and very cute.
'Well, there was on this farm.'
'But what sort of farm was it Sarwah?'
'The sort of farm that has crocodiles on it I spose….' Sarah thinks carefully before announcing with great confidence: ' I know… it must have been a crocodile farm.'
By this point my husband and I were giggling. Two more different cousins you could not imagine- our brown eyed Sarah is a typical Aries, whilst blonde & blue eyed A, likes the detail. Sarah, like most Aries, has problems with detail. A, like most Virgos, can't understand why Sarah wants to move on so quickly. As different as they are they have always got on beautifully, with each complementing the other.
'OK.' A seems unusually accepting of this response. The back seat is silent.
'But what sort of noise do crocodiles make Sarwah?' she eventually asks.
'Crocodile noises, I guess,' replies Sares.
'Are there any other animals on crocodile farms?'
'Of course there are,' says Sares.
'But wouldn't the crocodiles eat them all?' asks A.
'How about we sing another song?' I interject from the front seat.
A has Mercury in Virgo- and has the quick, yet supremely analytical, mind to go with it. Sarah has Mercury (conjunct Mars) in Aries and can't be bothered.
I have the absolute worst possible Mercury in history. And, given that Mercury is about how you communicate, the way in which you process information, and how you think, it is actually a miracle that I can even string 2 words together, let alone be able to sell coal to Newcastle when I have had a few bevies. In fact, I once (under the intellectual influence of a few red wines) convinced an ex Liberal would be prime minister that it was a great idea to buy a painting (for a ridiculous sum of money) that "looked like happiness should feel".
Why is my Mercury so bad? Amongst a myriad of other problems, my Mercury is in Pisces where it is traditionally in the sign of both its detriment and fall. Mercury has difficulty expressing itself in mutable, watery, no boundaries Pisces.
If you have Mercury in Virgo, your Mercury is exactly opposite to mine- Mercury rules Virgo and is strong, smart and extremely sharp in this position. The only (and rather mean) comfort I take from this is that during Mercury retrograde periods, you are likely to be substantially more affected than I am.
Where Mercury in Pisces is about the "big picture" and "beyondness", Mercury in Virgo concentrates on the details- every single little detail. Nothing is below the notice of Mercury in Virgo.
Mercury in Virgo is the ultimate record keeper and statistician, forgetting nothing, and having a place for everything. This placement has a quick and brilliant mind (although sell themselves short), and the ability to make conversation on numerous subjects (but think they could be smarter). They write beautifully, yet edit themselves constantly. I once gave a Mercury in Virgo friend a journal with the instruction not to re-read or edit anything she had written, as that would be tantamount to editing her own thoughts and feelings. Mercury in Virgo is humble.
Where others simply see problems, Mercury in Virgo breaks them down into readily digestible pieces. Once she can see a logical order she can proceed. The danger with this approach is paralysis by analysis- a tendency to over-think an issue.
Like Mercury in all the Earth signs, the urge to be practical, can sometimes mean that communication is not as sensitive as it could be. This is simply because Mercury in Virgo likes to be matter of fact- don't call her with problems unless you want her to offer you a straight forward and very practical solution. This placement has a great desire to be helpful. When she asks about your health, she is genuinely interested in your response.
Mercury in Virgo is critical, picky, and may come across as being negative. Again, she is just telling it how it is. Never ask if your bum looks fat in those jeans- she will tell you it does and what you need to do to make it better. Not because she wants to be mean spirited, but because she truly believes that perfection can be attained. It is this idealism, and an awareness of how things are versus how they can be that drives this analytical placement.
But to those of us with a weaker Mercury and a more expansive arse, a little less analysis and a little more dishonesty would be nice!
A couple of months after the car incident, my sister and I take the girls to the Opera House to see a kids play called "the Flying Babies." Sarah is laughing very hard, but A seems thoughtful.
'Aunty Jo?' she whispers loudly, 'They are very big babies.'
'That's because they aren't really babies, they are grown ups dressed up as babies,' I explain.
'So, they are really grown ups dressed up as babies?'
'But, Aunty Jo, why would grown ups want to dress up as babies?'
I look across at Sarah, she is still completely focused on the stage.
'Because they are actors.'
'What are actors?'
'People who pretend to be something or somebody else,' I reply.
'But why would people want to pretend to be something that they aren't?' she asks, 'Isn't that like fibbing…and Mum says it is bad to fib?'
Without denying her absolute logic, I reply in the only way I know:
'A, I think you better ask your mother!'

I Am What I Am- Happy Birthday Leo
Symbolon CardsYesterday driving to work I was forced to stop outside the local High School for road works. For the first time I paid attention to the motto posted on the school notice board: Dare to Be You. Wow.
I have long held a belief that one of the things our schools don't teach our children is self expression. We don't teach them that it is OK to be themselves, that honest individuality can be creatively exciting. Conformity is easy, but, lets face it, it is really scary to learn how to be You.
Fear is something that Leo struggles with. Like the Lion in the Wizard of Oz, the Lion can be all roar and no substance. Despite Leo's well publicised penchant for entrances and centre stage, behind the make-up is often hidden a fear of being found out.
Last week I published a piece on Leo in the workplace- All The World's a Stage. In that I proposed that Leo is from the "Fake It Until You Become It" school. This is absolutely the case. If you dress and act as you wish to be, others will believe that confidence. Soon you believe it too. The resultant accolades and applause reinforce it. You become who you want to be. The really scary bit happens when that whole belief system is questioned. Do you fall apart or find the courage bluff it through and, as a very famous Leo (Madonna) said, express yourself?
Leo spends much of his life learning how to express that vitality and creativity in a way which is authentic to him, yet somehow also afraid that one day the applause will stop. Leo spends much of his life daring to be himself.
Consider the Sun, the planet which rules Leo. The Sun radiates the energy and heat which keeps us all alive. It is this warmth which has the ability to transform us. We can't survive without it. You can't miss him, up there in the sky, generously sending down rays with dramatic intensity. The ultimate creative force, his magnetism is such that all the other planets are pulled within his orbit.
So too Leo. You can't miss him. Even when he isn't making an entrance, he is noticed for his absence. And when he is in the room, everyone else is pulled seemingly by gravitational force into his orbit. Charisma, dramatic generosity, creativity- Leo has it in spades.
My younger sister is a 1st house Leo Sun. With a 12th house Cancer Moon and a lot of 2nd house Virgo planets, she has never been the type that is truly comfortable in the limelight. As kids she would shyly wait in her room until she felt she could slip in to whatever family event we had been forced into attending. Her absence was always keenly noticed, and like it or not, when she did appear, it would be with the unconscious, yet very casual grace of a Queen bestowing a very special favour.
She can, however, look and dress the part with Oscar winning aptitude- whatever part she is playing. For work she is consummately professional, for home, casually elegant. Always immaculately presented, she radiates a confidence and pride that hides her uncertainty sometimes too well. She once said to me that there is never a reason to let your standards slip. She certainly never does and would not be seen dead at the shops in trackpants and ugg boots (not that I would ever do that either….).
When I was gathering pieces of feminine wisdom for my daughter to live by, her contribution was "nothing bad ever happens at Tiffanys". It put my "always take you makeup off before you go to bed no matter how late, drunk or tired you are" completely in the shade!
She is now a Mum herself and I can see her in true Lioness fashion standing over her son, providing him with a view of the outside world, yet snarling protection at any predators. Having her son has given my sister a real and very authentic confidence to be herself. No play acting. Happy Birthday Lenny the Lion.
I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook
Or the ovation
It's my life- that I want to have a little pride in
My life- and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
I am what I am
(Lyrics from "I Am What I Am", by Gloria Gaynor)

Watch Me Come Undone- Jupiter Transits of the 12th house
(my little part of the deck- ignore the unpainted toenails)As regular readers know, I spent much of the last couple of weeks with my hubby and resident five foot nothing in the middle of the ocean on a hulking big piece of metal with over 2500 people that I didn't know surrounded by miles and miles of a seemingly empty ocean.
Although looking forward to it, I had been deeply suspicious of the whole cruising idea. Sure I knew it would be a floating resort with a great kids club, but I'm not actually a deeply social person and there are (a lot of times) where I just want everyone to get the hell out of my head. There, I've said it. Crowds freak me out and tend to make me a tad claustrophobic. I avoid big concerts of bands I really want to see because of this (don't remind me that Bon Jovi is out here this December). As much as I love love love the water and Sydney Harbour, I didn't even enjoy those Xmas parties on Harbour Cruises that we used to have back in the days when companies had Xmas parties, simply because if the party is a dud there is no way off.
Despite the crowds on the ship I managed to spend much of the sea days alone. Endless hours were spent on a quiet part of deck- watching the sea, reading books, making pretty pictures out of cloud shapes, imagining what lay under that expanse of blue. At those moments, with the wind blowing all the fug out of my brain, it felt as though I was completely free and unrestrained- surprisingly so. At those moments, despite my initial misgivings, I was in my 12th house- the place we escape to.
Aside from being where we escape to and where we hide, the 12th house is also where we recuperate, where we keep the things hidden that we don't want anyone else to know about. It is also where we come undone. This is the place we find (and hide) our addictions, our secrets, our fears, our secret enemies. It is the place of our self undoing.
And aren't they all pretty much the same? Much of the time our secret enemies are our addictions- addictions that may have begun life as a vehicle for escape. This can be anything from booze to drugs, to food to a fully fledged illicit affair. All of these help us to come undone.
When Jupiter transits this part of your chart, this is where you go- in a big way. You may escape into yourself on a spiritual or positive basis, or you can contribute to your own self destruction. Your fears (secret enemies, another 12th house trait) become larger and manifest themselves easier.
Do you take the edge off them with an extra layer of fat, a few more drinks every night, a misguided shag with someone you shouldn't be with- or do you go within yourself and find the strength to face your fears head on? As easy as it may be to give in to the devil on your shoulder, this is also the perfect transit to confront those fears and behaviours and find the inner strength to kick your addictions.
Jupiter transiting this part of your chart can provide a protection of sorts against your fears or your secret enemies. The danger of this, as with all Jupiter transits, is when protection and over indulgence are confused. When this happens, what feels like protection may actually be self-undoing.
I spent most of the last couple of years (while Jupiter was in my 12th house) actively trying to escape in every way possible from feelings and ambitions that I was too afraid to say out loud or face head on. Although exaggerated, the nature of my natal Jupiter is one which is prone to self indulgence. The result was a few extra layers of supposedly protective fat, but all the escaping hasn't really done anything except add a couple of new (unwanted) dress sizes to my wardrobe. Watch me come undone.
The 12th house is also about institutions and confinement. When Jupiter transited my 12th house in 1997/98 I was pregnant- the ultimate confinement. One thing about pregnancy though, is there is no escaping your fears- at some point you have to give birth. When I emerged it was as a different version of myself (see Jupiter- Transits of the 1st house).
I was listening to a podcast recently of a politician who, due to an enforced hospital stay and subsequent lengthy recovery period, emerged from his confinement with a new lease on life and a clear vision of his direction. The confinement and escape from his normal life allowed him to rediscover his creativity. This absolutely supports the view that all of our leaders and policy makers should have an enforced confinement every few years in order to go within themselves and emerge as more authentic and effective leaders.
What often happens during a Jupiter 12th house transit is a spiritual renewal of sorts…whatever that means. In stepping back, you are given the opportunity to rebuild your faith in whatever it is that you believe in or used to believe in. You may even re-build faith in yourself. In a way it is like a great long Jupiter retrograde period. (Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow for more on this concept).
You may find yourself doing more behind the scenes, privately or otherwise "unseen" yet strangely fulfilling work. You certainly won't be actively looking for the spotlight and accolades during this transit.
During a Jupiter 12th house transit, you will find yourself becoming more Piscean in nature (and that is not just the self destructive part). You may be drawn to meditation or physical retreats to get away from the world. You may feel more empathetic, more intuitive and dream more fantastically and in technicolour.
You may become interested in spiritual matters (in whatever way spiritual is for you) or find yourself strangely attracted into esoteric and metaphysical bookshops. Perhaps you become involved in a secretive romance.
Any of these possibilities will enrich and invigorate you, but on the flip side, excess in any of these can undo you as well. Aside from being expansionary, optimistic and inclined to excess, Jupiter is also about honesty, integrity and justice...so whatever you do during this transit, stay true to yourself and your faith and your ethics (whatever they may be). To do anything else is to come undone.
So unimpressed but so in awe
Such a saint but such a whore
So self aware so full of shit
So indecisive so adamant
I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
It's so frustrating just get another drink in
Watch me come undone
Come Undone, by Robbie Williams
Note: While Jupiter is in Pisces, if you have an Aries Ascendant, this is for you!
Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow- Jupiter Retrograde
Sunset somewhere in the Coral Sea, pic by me
Jupiter is stationary and will be retrograde by tomorrow night until midway through November. Heavy sighs all round from this fishie. The bright part of this is that he will be back in Pisces by September and get another proper shot at my chart without Saturn getting in the way. (The Sun is in Leo, so I am allowed to make this all about ME). The most interesting part is that he will link up again with Uranus in the last few degrees of Pisces- giving us all another chance to take our dreams and break free. More on this aspect in September.
Jupiter is known as the Great Benefic. Often labelled as the "lucky planet", Jupiter makes things bigger. This is great if you have really good things happening- they happen even more easily, but isn't so good if there are problems on the horizon. This also isn't so good if he is transiting across your Ascendant (literally speaking, your physical body often gets bigger...). Check out Dare to Dream for more of Jupiter transits.
Jupiter is generally so optimistic, exuberant and dream/ ideal/ future driven. Nobody can keep up this pace for ever, so when he turns retrograde, he does so for a few months at a time. And when Jupiter turns retrograde, the expansion... stops. Just like that. Good if you are planning a diet but not so great if you are in the middle of a project. Things that seemed to be sure may just stop. Physical energy may just dry up. Optimism and faith may falter.
This is especially true if Jupiter is strong in your chart. Generally speaking, in my case, my wings tend to be clipped and if I am going to feel less than exuberant (in mood or in health), now is the time.
- you have your Ascendant, Sun or Moon Pisces or Sagittarius
- If Jupiter is in close aspect to the Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Midheaven (especially conjunction, square or opposition)
- If you have Jupiter in Cancer, the sign of his exultation
- If you have a number of planets in the 9th house or the 12th house.
Jupiter has a habit of removing those things from your life which you think you need, but actually are doing you no good at all. But with Jupiter, there is no maliciousness- anything you lose now, or anything that stops now is simply not necessary to your growth and will usually be for the best.
So, what to do? Look inward and be honest with yourself. Now is not the time to embark on any activity that requires material expansion- unless it is a new charity or spiritual retreat or something that is of a higher purpose, so to speak. Whatever you do this Jupiter retrograde- don't stop thinking about tomorrow...it'll soon be here and it will be better than before, so don't you look back!
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Don't you look back.
I Am Sailing- Venus in Virgo
Our Lady of the Notre Dame, Lifou, New Caledonia
Regular readers of this blog will know that I am currently on holiday- indulging on a P&O cruise of the South Pacific on a ship called the Pacific Jewel. There is nearly as many staff on this ship as there are passengers (they like to count things on this ship and then Amaze and Surprise you with Incredible statistics…), but you can tell the Officers and Ship executive by their white uniforms. The Captain is Italian with the type of accent a girl would chase to Rome. His whites are the whitest of them all.
Over the last few days I have indulged myself in the fantasy of running away to sea, but aside from the impediments of commitment, responsibility and family, the biggest thing spoiling this fantasy is the white uniform. Not only do I not do uniforms, I also don't do white- yet have often wished I could.
I don't avoid white because I feel that it doesn't suit me, but rather because it rarely stays white. I inevitably spill red wine if I am wearing white. Even if I drink white wine and eat salad, white on me is magnetic- and not in a good way.
I wrote in last years Venus in Virgo post how after surviving chilli sambal chicken and satay- food which usually hurls itself off the plate and in the general direction of my chest (which I admit can be sort of difficult to miss)- I poured a beer in celebration of my cleanliness & managed to brush the fresh henna tattoo on my wrist right across my right boob. Goodbye white tshirt & hello smudged yin/yang- which I then had to live with until it wore off. I also had to spend the rest of the afternoon with a mighty dark brown streak right across my front.
Venus in Virgo, however, can wear white... successfully. In fact, with this placement, you will be able to wear all white and have it stay white and be like those beautiful people in the holiday brochures that stroll hand in hand up the beach in filmy white linen and white bikinis. The sand will not stick & the salt water will dry clear & not sticky.
Unfortunately, Venus in Virgo has difficulty in relaxing for long enough to stroll up a beach, and often has too little body confidence to do so in a bikini. This placement is usually held by people with pretty neat & trim bodies, so this is an absolute waste of white bikini. And yes, given that I have never worn a bikini (let alone a white one) there is more than a small amount of envy in what I say.
Yet despite this amazing ability to wear white, stay clean, be trim and eat well, Venus in Virgo is in what traditional astrologers term the sign of her fall. This doesn't mean that Venus is weak in Virgo, it means that she is in a position where she can't use her strength, in a place which is alien to her. Venus loves pleasure, beauty, art, food. What she doesn't like is too much hard work, conflict, sacrifice, deprivation and details.
Venus is exalted or exaggerated in the opposite sign of Pisces where she sees the world through rose coloured glasses. In Pisces, Venus can be lazy, unrealistic, self-indulgent and oblivious to deprivation or detail.
In Virgo, Venus sees the world clearly and critically, often having altered perceptions of it and herself as a result. In Virgo, the rose coloured glasses are off as she sees imperfections which the rest of us are blind to.
In Virgo, Venus is operating within a sign that thrives on work, analyses details, is extremely conscious about what food is consumed and strives for perfection. This is not a comfortable place for her to be. In Virgo, Venus finds it difficult to relax and difficult to appreciate beauty- especially her own.
In Virgo, Venus is earthily tactile and sensual, yet efficient, reliable, faithful and practical. Despite her textbook reputation to nag in relationships (I make no judgement…), she will give more of herself to you than you can or will ever notice- nothing pleases her more than to have someone to do things for, to worry about, to put on a diet.
This all makes Venus in Virgo a difficult placement to write about. So please, if you feel that this is not you, don't feel compelled to tell me so- and I mean that in the nicest possible way!
An un-named friend with Venus in Virgo struggles with what she describes as the checklist mentality. Absolutely gorgeous, but until recently single, she admits (retrospectively) that she (unconsciously) approached men with a checklist of sorts- both in terms of physical attributes and professional and earning capacity. Upon meeting a likely candidate he would be assessed and discounted. She also discloses that the "qualities" on her list were really "quantities" to be ticked off and accounted for. As she said to me, if anyone had ever told her that this was what she did with men, she would have fervently denied it, but knows it to be true.
In actual fact, the checklist was there because she didn't believe that she was special enough to attract someone who would think that she was perfect enough. The concept of "good enough" is a difficult one for Venus in Virgo.
Men with Venus in Virgo are looking for a woman with Virgo traits or a busy 6th house- physically she will be trim, tidy and clean; mentally she will be quick, organised and disciplined, and sexually she will be faithful. She will either be able to deal with the details of life for him or hand these concerns straight across to him. She will most likely be interested in health and nutrition (but often will say that she isn't)... and she will be able to wear white.
As for my fantasy of running away and spending my days sailing the high seas, away from the martini glass and under the clear ultra violet light of bright sun, my whites just aren't white enough…and I so don't do uniforms or discipline…well not from a naval point of view anyway. Hmm I don't think that came out quite the way it was intended...maybe that is a subject best kept for Mars in Scorpio .

Venus in Virgo and Phryne Fisher
"Miss Jones was the sort of person who is concealed, like the nun in the foundation, in every organisation which does Good Works. Patient, dogged, meticulous, vastly overworked, unpaid and completely unappreciated, she finds, files, calls, arranges, soothes and ameliorates papers, contracts, tradesmen, repairs, hurt feelings and Very Important People. No one notices her until God finally calls her home or she quits to look after her aged parents, when the whole edifice instantly falls astonished to the ground. Repeated harassment usually greys her hair and causes her to lose her glasses, and pressure of work requires her to clothe herself in serviceable garments which are never decorated with anything more daring than a scarf and possibly a bluebird brooch. But Miss Jones' strength was the strength of ten because her heart was pure and Phryne liked her very much."
From Queen of the Flowers, a Phryne Fisher Mystery, by Kerry Greenwood
This passage screams Venus in Virgo. Sure, it is set in the 1920's, (1928 Melbourne to be precise), sure it is clichéd, but the general gist is there. Just a few pages later, we see reference to a Venus in Virgo man:
"Mr Xavier brightened and went so far as to lean forward, preserving the immaculate creases in his trousers without apparent effort. This was a young man who would be able to slide down a mud bank in his long johns and arise without a stain. Phryne suppressed a giggle"
(Phryne herself is a Capricorn (see her horoscope here). If you haven't checked out the series by Melbourne author Kerry Greenwood, do so- Phryne is a fabulous romp and the books are perfect escapist read in the bath style.)

Uranus Retrograde July 2010
Not that you can really blame him. For an old hippie / Surfer Dude like Uranus, being in Pisces is like being on holiday on a tropical island- not a whole lot to do save whiling away the days dreaming your dreams and making weird shapes out of clouds under the shade of a coconut palm. Every so often you drag yourself off the towel to snorkel and look at pretty fish through some goggles, but eventually the pull of Fantasyland will drag you back.
You know that sooner or later you have to take all of those dreams and apply some energy and fire in order to make them real. You know that there is freedom to fight for and new stuff to invent, but somehow, your energy is flagging and the coconut palm and those pretty fish are calling and it is happy hour by the pool....
Uranus turns retrograde in the next couple of days and will be back in Pisces by mid August. The outer planets spend a fair whack of each year in retrograde motion (Uranus will be retrograde until the 1st week of December). During these retrograde periods, the energy which is usually pushed outward is directed internally. During the retrograde phase planets become an exaggerated version of themselves. Uranus will become more Uranian...for many (especially those in the midst of a transit by Uranus) that is a pretty scary concept.
In the case of Uranus, who really gets off on giving totally unexpected and utterly unavoidable shocks to get you moving out of your rut and into something more individual, all of that bubbling, electrical energy in happening within you instead of to you. Eventually it has to explode.
All those Uranian rebellion impulses will burst out at seemingly incongruent times, leaving those around you shaking their heads muttering "What the F&*#?" Which brings me to the other really important thing about Uranus and transits of this planet to natal planets.... resistance is futile. The more you struggle against the Freedom Fighter, the tighter the chains that bind.
If Uranus passes back across a natal planet or chart point for you during this transit, take it as a time to stick to what you know...for now. You will be able to objectively look at the results of the bid you made for freedom when Uranus 1st touched that planet and maybe analyse what went wrong. This is not the time to make a fresh break, if indeed a separation is what is required. The questions you ask yourself here will be put to use when Uranus retraces his path once he becomes direct. It is at that point that you have the opportunity to make the change real.

Re: Ranger Kids Day Camp today.
Hope you guys have a good time. I'm going focus a little more on the Ranger Kids group this year. There's a lot that they can't do yet because of their age, so we're going to try to do more activities that they can do.

Toronto Struggles to Cope with … Snow
By David George-Cosh
As a winter storm blows across northeastern North America, Canada's biggest city is being hit especially hard and could get up to 10 inches of snow on Friday. The blizzard is wreaking havoc in Toronto—causing headaches for everyone from air travelers to students to those who have to drive anywhere.
To non-Torontonians, the turmoil may come as something of a surprise. Isn't Toronto—a Canadian city, after all—accustomed to dealing with winter storms? Toronto doesn't typically get as much snow as some other Canadian cities. It saw barely any of the white stuff last year, with only 15 inches of snow falling over the course of the season, an all-time low since Environment Canada began keeping track starting in 1930, spokesman Geoff Coulson told Canada Real time.
Toronto has averaged 45 inches of snow annually over the past 30 years, Mr. Coulson said. That's less than Cleveland, Denver and Buffalo.
Friday's blast is expected to be the biggest dump of snow Toronto has gotten in five years.

We have a guest columnist this week. Jeff from Deer Park, Wis., sent me a question that I have to share.
I read it as I was sipping wine. Good thing it wasn't steak. I might have choked to death.
So having put myself at risk of overhyping a funny email, here is what Jeff wrote that struck me so funny. I hope his intention was to amuse me, not to actually have me solve his problem. I confessed to him that I couldn't. If any of you have an idea for Jeff, let me know and I'll pass it on.
Here's Jeff:
"First and foremost, thank you for your excellent and practical Sunday column in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. As a 'blundering gardener' myself, I have learned a great deal from you. This brings me to the primary point of this note. We live on a small hobby farm and have two separate vegetable gardens and have certainly always had a certain number of rabbits around. However, this year they have evolved into plant-eating bastard bunnies. They are everywhere and again for the first time ever, have actually attacked our tomato plants. They have repeatedly eaten the tops right off of healthy plants. We tried surrounding the plants in plastic fencing but they chewed right through it. We fell for the myth that marigolds keep them away and the bastard bunnies hopped their way around the marigolds and ate the tomato plants anyway, though the tomato patch certainly looks prettier with the marigolds! We have a fair bit of blood meal in the garden for fertilizer but that doesn't seem to keep them away. We now bought one of those spray bottles that supposedly repel bastard bunnies, but we'll see.
"I would be grateful if you had any ideas of how to keep them away from our plants. I suppose the most dependable way is to actually put up a metal chicken fence around the garden, though that is certainly a hassle. I must admit that I'm still a little bit too much of the nature-loving bunny-hugger to even consider harming or killing them. There certainly will be no rabbit stew in this house. Hence I am wondering if you have any good, safe and protective tricks."
I might as well share with you my admiring (he certainly is funny) and yet apologetic (for not having any good advice to offer) reply:
"Hello Jeff, your email made me laugh SO HARD. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean I have an answer for you, or any good tricks either. You've exhausted my repertoire of bastard bunny moves, which is why we are both still blundering gardeners and not on HGTV."
Jeff did mention fencing. That's all that works in my yard. The front is not fenced and it's bastard bunny heaven. Every morning I sic my dog, Fred, who is as bunny-averse as I am, maybe more—he's definitely a lot quicker and more agile — on the biggest and fattest of the several bunnies hanging out among the peonies and chomping on whatever's appetizing.
Fred gives chase and the bunnies get the message. I don't see many from that hour onward. But they're back the following day, waiting for Fred.
My back yard is fenced. I added a layer of chicken wire over the bottom half of it, not so much to keep bunnies out as to keep Fred in. Fred finds a way out at least once a week — usually because I've left a gate open.
Speaking of gates, what's more impressive as a finishing touch on a pretty garden than a magnificent garden ornament that also lets people and Schnoodles in and out?
I splurged on a pair of gates that showed up on the weekly email I get from Architectural Antiques. They'd just arrived on a truck from St. Louis. I asked permission to pretend they were salvaged from one of the Anheuser-Busch estates. That's how magnificent they are.
Well, one of them. It's made of gently rusted iron and full of swirls and the latch actually works. The hint of green embedded in the finish is probably owing to its having spent the past few decades stashed in the woods, waiting to be rescued.
The other gate is actually a door, the kind you might imagine when reading Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's novel "The Secret Garden." It is made of oak and ridiculously heavy. There's a small diamond-shaped window for peeking into the garden from the outside.
The two hinges are immense and made of solid black iron. They must weigh 20 pounds each. They take up a third of the door's interior façade (I mounted three smaller but stronger hinges on the outside that do the actual work of operating the door) and are like something out of a fairy tale.
Why the splurge? (The gates did not come cheap.)
I'm now two weeks into my new second job, running two units in my house as Airbnb rentals. The third floor is labeled "Spacious modern apartment in historic home." The second is a called "Deluxe master suite in historic home."
The suite includes a spa-like bathroom, a walk-out balcony with splendid river views, kitchen access, and of course flowers galore.
The apartment has its own large kitchen, multiple skylights and an exercise room.
Bookings have been plentiful and global in scope. Last weekend a couple came from Cape Town (by way of San Francisco, where they'd both landed jobs in tech). They were here for a wedding.
A lovely family of four from Puerto Rico took over the second floor: they brought their puppy, a female Pug name Loki. Fred was in heaven. The bunnies were in hell.
Loki was even more agile than my Schnoodle and just as bunny-averse.
The Puerto Ricans spent most of their time at the Mall of America, outfitting new digs in Rochester. He's a radiologist and she's a pediatrician. They both speak fluent English and are excited to experience winter for the first time.
The garden also kept them enthralled. They'd never seen most of the plants I grow.
Nor has Catherine, now installed on the third floor with her circus performer daughter, here for a weeklong class at Circus Juventas. They're from Texas. She gardens but can't grow what I can, and vice versa.
A couple from England will be here for two weeks, at the height of summer. They're gardeners too, and eager to see my garden and compare notes. Here's hoping the Japanese beetles haven't shredded the David Austin roses by then. They're blooming like crazy.
In August the third floor will be filled with Chinese visitors from Shanghai, also here for a wedding. Also gardeners.
The carriage house is my home away from home, for now. My plan is to get it plumbed and insulated before the snow flies and add a third unit to the empire.
The neighbors haven't even noticed the activity. That's because there isn't much. The family of five who live across the street are a far more rambunctious household than mine, what with the trampoline that attracts kids from all over the 'hood, the motorized mini-two wheelers that zoom up and down the street at all hours, and the endless summer sleepovers and birthday parties.
To be honest, until now I've been feeling a little like the old lady who lives in a shoe with no children and nothing to do. I know I haven't been pulling my weight as far as adding excitement to the neighborhood, and by that I mean adding life, joy and great stories to share at block parties.
My neighbors love to hear about my guests and look forward to actually meeting one of them, especially the ones from other continents. Our corner of St. Paul is becoming as cosmopolitan as New York City.
Gardening is the glue in all this. My garden is what lures guests here (I post pictures) because it sends the message that I am the type of person who doesn't sweat the small stuff. A bit of chaos is fine with me. For example, I accept dogs and don't mind baby-sitting them when their owners are off exploring.
My garden's imperfections make guests feel relaxed. They know they can make a bouquet if they want to, and bring it up to their room. They can walk on the grass. They can let their dog tear around the yard with mine, and crash through a flowerbed in hot pursuit of bastard bunny.
One of these days the dogs might even catch one — though I hope they don't. Much as I dislike what bunnies do to my garden, I hate the thought of tripping over a bloody carcass more.

Top 10 wines for a summer BBQ
Together with UK wine expert and TV presenter Joe Wadsack, I threw a BBQ on my last visit to London. Joe must have the best nose in the business (and is freakishly good at wine tastings), and I got him to pick a case of wines from Majestic Wines, none (except the champagne) over 15 GBP (ca 22 USD). They were excellent! Read about the BBQ, the winning wines and the food here:
Out of the 14 bottles we drank, these are my top 10. All worth every penny and more.
A precise, dense, fresh rosé in a food-friendly style. A "real" wine, not a sweet cordial for adults.

ccstat replied to Extesian's topic in Cosmere TheoriesGreat compilation of all the evidence! This is very well reasoned. The one piece I'd like to add (though it probably doesn't help much) is the flute Hoid gives to Kaladin. He calls it a "Trailman's flute," and that capitalization has convinced me it is associated with the Iriali Long Trail. I suspect, then, that the flute and storytelling method originate with the as-yet-unknown third shardworld, and when we get more hints about Hoid's past travels we may have a better guess of which it might be. While I don't think Sel is likely, remember that we have only seen two of the three modern empires, so the Iriali could well have been a feature of the third empire or, depending on the timeframe, of civilization that predated Odium's visit. I doubt we have the clues yet to make a good guess.
I guess I'm mostly interested from a Realmatic standpoint, rather than a "someone could exploit this" standpoint: Does the gravity in the CR come from the shared perception of the local populace (and therefore vary with location)? Or does it derive from a cosmere-wide perception and average out to be the same everywhere? Or (less likely) does each person carry their own gravitational expectations with them, such that a native Elantrian visiting Roshar's CR for the first time would still experience Sel's gravity? The answer would hint at how some of these perception feedback-loops work.
As seen in Secret History, the cognitive realm has "gravity" that doesn't vary (much, at least) between areas associated with planets and areas corresponding to open space. Does the gravitational pull experienced in the cognitive realm vary between planets? (i.e. near Scadrial @ 1 g, vs near Roshar @ 0.7 g) If, upon developing spacecraft, the people of the cosmere begin to collectively associate outer space with weightlessnesss (as is the pervasive understanding on Earth) will the gravitational profile of the cognitive realm change to reflect that? If you operate an airplane or a spacecraft in the cognitive realm, will you find additional (otherwise inaccessible) regions/objects at higher altitude?
ccstat posted a topic in Stormlight ArchiveDo you think the pre-release content (typically the first 6-8 chapters) should be experienced in advance of the rest of the work? Like many of you, I am getting incredibly excited for the November release of Oathbringer. I am trying to decide how best to approach that experience, specifically with regard to the preview chapters Tor releases in the weeks leading up to The Day. I'm interested in hearing your experiences with past cosmere releases, and in particular if any of the current beta readers have an opinion on this for Oathbringer specifically. For past releases I have devoured all available details and jumped into forum discussions about them. And I loved that part! One of my main regrets when reading books, especially cosmere books, is that I read through too quickly--I keep turning those pages for "one more chapter" to find out what happens, rather than taking breaks and letting the suspense and tension do their work. Having enforced pauses for those early portions is a fun experience that begets theorizing and anticipation. It's great! But there's also a downside. My first experience with Words of Radiance, which I loved on re-reads, was that some of the biggest twists and reveals and payoffs were too predictable, probably a direct effect of all the discussions and theorizing I'd participated in here on 17S. (For me, the main one was Kal's third ideal and getting Syl back. It seemed painfully obvious where things were going, so I felt frustration instead of tension the whole time Syl was "dead.") On subsequent read-throughs, when novelty didn't matter, I was able to enjoy the character arcs more and I revised my opinion. So I'm debating whether to follow the pre-release hype this time around, or take a leave-of-absence from 17S / Tor.com / Reddit. So far I have made the decision to avoid the two interlude readings Brandon has done ... but my self control broke down a week or two after each one was transcribed, and I read them anyway.
ccstat replied to MONARCH's topic in General Brandon DiscussionLooking for an upper bound, we need to think about the wind speed. There were wind blast experiments in the '50s and '60s, intended to help design ejection systems for supersonic aircraft. The takeaway is that wind speeds up to at least mach 1.7 are only mildly injurious...provided that the person is well restrained and wearing protective clothing. Problem 1: If your skin is exposed to the wind then even subsonic winds cause severe burns. Subjects whose suits failed got second and third degree burns over their entire bodies from supersonic wind. Problem 2: If you are inadequately restrained, high winds create turbulent flow around the body and induce violent flailing that is very lethal. Lots of broken necks from bad helmets/headrests. (The experiments used dummies or chimps, not people.) Stormlight healing can mitigate those problems somewhat, but you won't have much limb control when you are at your maximum tolerable speed. I would be surprised if someone flying like Kaladin does (no special clothes or restraints) could get much beyond 300km/hr without injury. Re: the matchup. The high winds would affect both a windrunner and a steelrunner similarly, but a steelrunner has to provide their own acceleration by moving arms or legs while the windrunner can just sit there. Perhaps more importantly, the windrunner can fall forward in any position, such as head-first, which will present less resistance to the air than a steelrunner can manage. Advantage here (i.e. in an open environment looking for simple top speed in more-or-less straight-line travel) goes to the windrunner. As mentioned above, though, if they have to maneuver at all, the steelrunner will handle obstacles and corners much better.
ccstat replied to Jace21's topic in Stormlight ArchiveI'm still thinking about this idea, but I like it a lot. One thing that I like about your theory is the interpretation of what "unmade" could mean; but that's also a piece I'm really unsure of. There are a lot of different ways you could understand that word. Here are the main ones I've considered, and I don't think we have information to suggest which (if any) are right. Unmade = not made (i.e. occurring naturally / without design) Unmade = taken apart Unmade = defeated / corrupted (their purpose stolen) Regarding the nature of the Unmade, I want to add the recent WoB from the June 9 FAQ Friday post, answering about a vessel voluntarily dropping a shard: This makes me wonder if the Unmade are distinct from "Odium spren," or if Odium just exerts more direct control over his splinters. The quote provided above by @FiveLate is also interesting.: The easiest interpretation there is that the spren-with-holes are operating the same way as the Unmade (or are the unmade), but that's not necessarily the case. Human-unmade interactions are hardly analogous to the listener-spren bond.
ccstat replied to TheBlueShifting's topic in General Brandon DiscussionThis is a question well worth pondering, both in general and in the specific case of the cosmere. Various works in fantasy and sci fi have tried over and over to address the general idea, and there are a lot of different ways such a relationship (mortal with immortal) could go. They run the gamut of awful to awesome, with and without regret/avoidance. I lean toward the hopeful side of things, but it's hard to say. However, the cosmere is different. The first thing to point out (as @Sheridan_rd did) is that in the cosmere, immortality is really not that hard to come by. If Anna WorldHopper met Bob NormalDude, she has a lot more choices to consider beyond "walk away" or "watch him age and die." She can teach him how to worldhop and help him acquire some flavor of immortality that more-or-less matches her own. I have a hard time believing that a resourceful guy like Hoid avoids relationships for an easily-overcome reason like "oh no, they might die." If he wanted to, he could figure out a good way to share knowledge and/or power with someone he liked and trusted. In Hoid's case, his arrogance and other personality traits, along with his ambiguous-but-all-consuming goals, are much stronger barriers to forming a meaningful partnership. I should also point out that Hoid (and presumably other worldhoppers) aren't necessarily as old as they may seem. Brandon has said that Hoid has not subjectively lived all of the time that has passed since the Shattering--by some as-yet-unexplained mechanism he is able to skip forward in time to the next moment of interest. So that leads us to two more questions: What does a relationship look like between an ancient/experienced immortal and his/her newly-immortalized significant other? And (more interesting to me) how does a relationship work across centuries and millenia? @Alfa alluded to this above with the Nazh/Khriss partnership. We really don't have real-world experience with or examples of relationships (romantic or otherwise) lasting longer than a century. It is interesting to speculate how commitment and personality would play out on such a time scale. When life is extended dramatically or indefinitely, do relationships also extend or do they become more ephemeral by contrast? I imagine the answer is "both, depending on the individual," but at a societal level, or as a cultural trend, I have no idea.
Huh. That's more than I thought we knew about Frost. Source and related quote for others who are interested.
I feel like this is more solid confirmation than we previously had? Maybe not. But still confuses me when read next to the line in The Letter "Though, as you are now essentially immortal". Why only 'now'? Unless it refers to an inability for Frost to even be killed now, but as we know he's not a Shardholder, I remain confused. There are a lot of things it could mean, but my thought on reading it was that perhaps people can become dragons, and Frost hasn't always been one. I'm not sure how this jives with the little we know about the three Yolish races, but Brandon has said recently that dragons can assume human form. Perhaps that interconversion is more than a mimic of shape?
ccstat replied to The Young Bard's topic in General DiscussionAccording to the map, @Nya Ellir is also in Cape Town. Not sure if that's the friend you already know or not. (Also, just FYI, I've been updating the map weekly when somebody else doesn't beat me to it. All new posts are being taken care of!)
ccstat replied to Tesh's topic in Events and SigningsProbably not. According to his travel history, he's only been to Reno once before, and that was for a convention in 2011. The last time he toured to Las Vegas for a book release was 2009, so he's not very likely to have a stop near you this year.
ccstat commented on Lyraina's gallery image in Elantris Art
ccstat replied to FeatherWriter's topic in Cosmere TheoriesYeah, I knew including the word Dawnchant would get me in trouble. I used it because it is the only pre-WoK language we have a name for, not because it was a likely option compared to intermediate scripts. I'll go ahead and edit it out of the previous post. I can tell you aren't convinced, but I still think the text is hinting at a language discrepancy at the root of the misunderstanding, rather than poor penmanship or unfamiliar glyphs.
ccstat replied to FeatherWriter's topic in Cosmere TheoriesOne thing I don't really follow/agree with is the argument that the glyphs are sloppy because Renarin isn't good at writing. Glyphs are allowed for men, and he reads just fine. We have seen him attracted to scholarly pursuits, and I would find it surprising if he didn't excel in this area of personal interest. Yes, he feels ashamed enough that he refuses to pursue it, but if he didn't know he was good at it I doubt it would be the same temptation. Feather's suggestion that Renarin was fighting the compulsion is possible, but I don't buy it. In fact, I don't think the glyphs are poorly-drawn at all. Here is the quote from Rushu. Hmm... 'broken.' As in "Three of sixteen ruled, but now the Broken One reigns." A glyph that looks mostly like 'death' but also a lot like 'broken,' and written in a sentence that doesn't convey a clear meaning in modern Vorin grammar? We know that Dalinar speaks ancient languages during his visions--I thought it strongly hinted here that Renarin was writing in an ancient language, one from which modern glyphs are derived. It makes great sense that an early glyph for Odium would later evolve into both 'broken' and 'death,' giving the translation Rushu provides. On the topic of the visions themselves, I find it quite logical that the surges accessed by Truthwatchers would work together to create visions (illumination) of possible futures (progression). Depending on how you interpret "Resonance" you are free to apply that term to this interaction, but I wouldn't call it that--it's not in the same class as the mnemonic perk of Lightweavers, for example. Just as the three Windrunner lashings are a combination of their two surges, I believe that future-sight is one of several forms of truthwatching, arising naturally from the combination of surges. The Vorin prohibition on predicting the future is not enough for me to discount it as a Radiant ability, especially since Cultivation is stated to be better at it than Honor--and Truthwatchers are on the (theorized) Cultivation side of the KR chart. With that perspective, though, I do agree that Renarin's visions are fundamentally different from those that a standard Truthwatcher would experience. Feather makes a great case, and the involuntary nature in particular makes me agree with the others here who say his Nahel bond is being hijacked by something external.
I really like this line of questioning. As an intermediate data point, it could be useful to ask whether Shai's various incarnations (Shaizan, etc.) could recover each other's breath. This answer is most likely yes, but it would help establish a baseline for the tolerances for dissimilarity.

Overall an average hotel. With the odd high light. The location is good. Really helpful staff when the Internet goes wobbly.
What ever the time of year the air condition is lousy. In summer you roast in winter you freeze. And in Spring the air con has a mind of its own.
Rooms average. clean and a reasonable size.
Don't order room service if you value your tummy. Breakfast OK. Don't go to the hotel restaurant for dinner. It's an experience but not a pleasant one.
Some great restaurants near by. Just to the right there is a really good Chinese restaurant. Element Fresh very good. Out of the hotel go left, 2 blocks on the other side of the road.

Nikon today announced that it is "working on" a new budget priced digital SLR, the D70 and a new complementary DX lens. From the hints given in the 'development press releases' it's fairly easy to come to the conclusion that this camera will be fully announced at PMA 2004 and should hit the stores shortly afterwards. Considering its "budget price" and considering the current competition I will make a wild guess that the D70 will be based around the D100 engine with the same six megapixel sensor. Styling hints however do appear to be taken from the D2H. Body only price of the D70 is expected to be $999 (in the US) or € 1,100 (in Europe).
Phil: The name 'D70' was picked up some time ago by a poster on our forums who noted that Nikon had registered it as a trademark (a bit close to the 'D60' for me, but there you go). This is good news for the consumer as it's even more choice, now lets hope Olympus have a cheaper E system D-SLR up their sleeve.
Nikon D70
Press Release (Nikon USA):
New Nikon D70 Poised to Expand Digital SLR Camera Market by Delivering Excellent Performance and Superb Image Quality at an Attractive Price
MELVILLE, NY, DECEMBER 03, 2003 - Nikon (www.nikonusa.com), the world leader in photography, today announced development of the D70, a new interchangeable-lens digital SLR camera designed to deliver superb image quality and hallmark Nikon SLR performance at an attractive price that a broad range of consumers will find within reach. A new DX Zoom-Nikkor lens is being developed concurrently to match the D70, and both products are scheduled to go on sale in the spring of 2004.
Designed for a wide range of customers, from novices to serious and experienced photo enthusiasts, the D70 will enable photographers to easily adopt digital technology into their existing camera system. The new model will offer an exclusive selection of new features and exciting Nikon SLR technology that will surpass products within the evolving digital SLR market, and provide exceptional value at an estimated retail price of $999.00 for the camera body.
"The D70 represents Nikon's next step in expanding the digital SLR camera market. Ever since the introduction of the revolutionary D1 in 1999, Nikon has been in constant pursuit of the highest image quality and performance in digital SLRs.
This has led to the introduction of the D1X, the D1H, and most recently the groundbreaking D2H. The D100, introduced in June 2002, marked Nikon's efforts in bringing digital SLR technology into the hands of enthusiast photographers, and has since become a flagship camera for this audience," said Richard LoPinto, vice president for SLR camera systems, Nikon Inc. "With the development of the D70, Nikon is responding to a growing interest among a broad range of photo enthusiasts who are looking for a full featured digital SLR camera that fits within their personal budgets, and also the expanding interest among amateurs who enjoy great pictures and want the high level of performance that a Nikon digital SLR can provide."
The D70 joins Nikon's current selection of digital SLR models and employs the popular Nikon DX format sensor and Nikon F lens mount. This design will allow photographers to use high quality DX Nikkor lenses, and also maintain seamless compatibility with all AF Nikkor lenses and the D70. Designed exclusively for Nikon's D-series digital SLR cameras, DX Nikkor lenses are optimized to achieve outstanding center-to-edge-to-corner image quality, when used with any of Nikon's digital SLR cameras including the D1, D1X, D1H, D100, the new high-speed D2H, and the forthcoming D70.
Nikon currently has three DX Nikkor lenses that offer exceptional wide-angle coverage:
AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens: 180º angle-of-view
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED: 99º - 61º angle-of-view
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED: 79º - 28º50' angle-of-view
More information and detailed specifications about the D70 will become
available at a later date. Please log on to www.nikonslr.com for more
information about Nikon digital SLR photography and products.
Press Release (Nikon Europe):
Nikon Europe confirms new Digital SLR camera will be introduced in the Spring
Following recent media speculation, Nikon Europe is pleased to confirm that an all-new lens-interchangeable digital SLR camera named the D70 will be introduced by Nikon Corporation, Japan for worldwide sale in the spring of 2004.
Of interest to a broad range of customers from novices to experienced photo enthusiasts the D70 will enable photographers to easily adopt digital technology into their existing camera systems. The new model will offer an exclusive selection of features and exciting Nikon SLR technology that will surpass products within the evolving digital SLR market, and provide exceptional value by combining the essential handling characteristics of an analogue SLR with high-quality digital output at an attractive price.
The D70 will be sold in Europe with a choice of lens kit options, one of which will include an all-new high-quality DX Format Nikkor zoom lens that covers wide-angle to telephoto focal lengths. The Body Only price is targeted to be approximately € 1,100.
Development Background
Since 1999 with the introduction of the revolutionary D1, Nikon has been in constant pursuit of the highest image quality and performance in digital SLRs.
In 2001 Nikon refined the award-winning D1 concept by offering two new versions, tailored for increasing Professional needs: the D1X and the D1H. For the first time professionals were able to use digital SLR cameras to achieve results comparable with analogue film, heralding a new era in professional imaging.
The D100, introduced in June 2002, redefined this successful D-SLR concept to address the needs of semi-professional and business users, cementing Nikons reputation as a world leader in photographic standards and confirming the success of the Nikon F lens mount and the DX Format sensor.
Along with the D1, the D70 will maintain seamless compatibility with well over 40 AF Nikkors including the DX Nikkor lens range, optimized to achieve outstanding centre-to-edge-to-corner image quality with any Nikon digital SLR cameras including the D1X, D1H, D100 and the new high-speed D2H.
Nikon currently has three DX Nikkor lenses that offer exceptional wide-angle coverage:
- AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED lens: 180º angle-of-view
- AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED: 99º 61º angle-of-view
- AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED: 79º 28º50' angle-of-view
Detailed specifications about the sensor resolution, frame rate, buffer and groundbreaking new features will be finalised and announced at a later date.
Speaking about the news Robert Cristina, Product Manager, SLR Systems, Nikon Europe said: The D70 marks the next step in Nikons expansion of the digital camera market. Having pioneered the introduction of performance digital SLR cameras with the D1 in 1999 Nikon has established a product range that addresses the needs of high-end professionals, business users and photo enthusiasts. The D70, through the incorporation of the popular Nikon DX format and Nikon F lens mount gives access to the full range of Nikon AF lenses and accessories. This new camera will bring the excitement of digital SLR photography within the reach of the personal budgets of advanced amateurs.

Very mod/contemporary style boutique hotel, located off the "main drag" (as such a "main drag" exists in Rhode Island), and is decked out like a cool/indie hotel you'd find in LA or NY. The best part of NYLO, however, are the people. Great service all around - awesome restaurant and bar. Breakout star: Gia, who has got to be among the top 5 bartenders I've EVER had the pleasure to meet. Well stocked bar, but what makes it special is what she does with what they have. Gia's created several drinks that you may have to ask for (cuz they're not on the "official menu") but definitely do so. She should publish these recipes and collect royalties... Gia is perhaps the best argument for why bartending is an art, not just a skill. Do yourself a favor, when you're in the area, visit NYLO - to stay or just to chill at the bar in Gia's capable hands - you will be very happy that you did!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- NYLO Warwick is beautifully situated along the Pawtuxet River in the heart of New England. The hotel pays tribute to the region's stunning beaches and marinas by blending NYLO's urban, industrial design with a whimsical nautical expression, creating an aesthetic that is unique, comfortable, and inspiring.
