John "the Great Pretender" Kasich Announces Fake Race Track Deal
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender,
Pretending that I'm doing well,
My need is such I pretend too much,
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own . . .
The Great Pretender*
The news today is that John Kasich has announced a "deal" with Penn National Gaming to move race tracks from Columbus and Toledo to the Dayton and Youngstown.
The "deal" announced by Kasich includes a payment of $150 million to the state, and a promise by Penn National to invest at least $300 million in the new facilities.
Some in Columbus will, of course, mourn the loss of thoroughbred racing in the area. And a future obituary for the Park will no doubt mention its important role in Ohio State football history. But from where we sit, this seems like a pretty good deal for Ohio in general and the struggling horse racing industry in particular.
But a doubt creeps into our heads – can Kasich actually do this?
A quick check of the Ohio Revised Code suggests, no. That's why we put the word "deal" in quotes.
Horse racing is governed by Chapter 3769 of the Revised Code. This statute gives the power to grants licenses for racing meets to the Racing Commission, who are appointed by the Governor but otherwise operate independently. Even tax breaks for race tracks are governed by the Racing Commission: the Racing Commission possesses the authority to approve tax reductions for Capital Improvements and construction of racetracks.
The "casino" portion of the tracks will actually be video lottery terminals, operated by the Lottery Commission. The lottery is governed by Chapter 3770 of the Revised Code. Section 3770.21 gives the Lottery Commission the authority to set rules for VLTs. The Lottery Commission is appointed by the governor but, like the racing commission, operates independently.
The people who are most heavily invested in this deal, Penn Gaming, recognized that Kasich doesn't actually have the ability to make the "deal" he announced. From the Plain Dealer article: "A Penn spokesman said yesterday that the agreement was contingent on actions by the state racing commission, the lottery commission and Ohio lawmakers. . . . 'It's conditional, is what it is,' said Penn spokesman Bob Tenenbaum."
Kasich previously recognized that the Gambling Commission acted independently. In January, in response to questions about casino licenses, Kasich's Spokesman said, "We respect the Casino Commission's independence and its oversight and regulatory missions and we aren't going to micromanage its affairs." The question now is, does Kasich respect the independent of the Racing Commission and the Lottery Commission?
Let's also not forget this isn't the first time Kasich has acted beyond his authority in regards to gambling. As Joseph noted back in June, a lawsuit has been filed alleging that Kasich went beyond his statutory and constitutional authority in regards to prior casino deals.
Why is this important? Our favorite line from "The Great Pretender" is: "Too real is this feeling of make-believe . . ." This describes what Kasich is doing. Perhaps it is his history at Lehman Brothers, as he clearly likes to make and announce deals. The problem is, deals like the one announced for the Racing Commission are just pretend.
*Some like the version of this song by the Platters or Queen. We, however, prefer the Old School version by Roy Orbison.
Maybe he can give another of his famous off-the-cuff speeches and call the Legislature idiots. That seems to work for him….
I think there's a bill in the GA that covers gambling topics that somehow enables this.
I haven't seen any legislation yet, but that's the only way this is going to get done.
Personally, I can't see any reason the State shouldn't be charging these fees. But I think the point here is that Kasich doesn't have the authority – regardless of whether it's a good idea or not.
If Ohio is like other states that combined racing and casino operations together, the final chapter will of this saga will end with the casino operators reviewing their business model and trying to kill the racing industry since the casino revenues far exceed the meager earnings of racing. All in all, nothing gets set in stone until all the bribe money comes in.

The International Jamboree Of Vietnamese Scouting — A Brief History
Scouting is an educational movement created for young people. It has been popular around the world for the last 100 years. All Scouts, regardless of country of origin or residence, treat each other as true brothers and sisters.
A Jamboree is an old and beautiful tradition of the International Scouting Movement and of the Vietnamese Scouting Movement as well. This is an excellent opportunity for Scouts from all over the world to gather, spend time together, carry out common activities, exchange experiences, get acquainted with various cultures, and solidify a mutual bond between each other in a natural and friendly environment. It is a well known fact that past Jamborees have greatly stimulated the growth of the local Scouting movement of the regions in which they took place.
The Thang Tien Jamboree has become a tradition for the Vietnamese Scouting Movement for the past 20 years.
- Thang Tien I was organized in Yvelines, France, in 1985;
- Thang Tien II was in Toronto, Canada, 1988;
- Thang Tien III was in San Jose- California, USA, 1990;
- Thang Tien IV in Chalon-Sur-Saone, France, 1993;
- Thang Tien V in Glenfield, Australia, 1995-1996;
- Thang Tien VI in Virginia, USA, 1998. Since then, it has been decided that Thang Tien will take place once every four years.
- Thang Tien VII took place in Houston-Texas, USA, in 2002; and 4 years later,
- Thang Tien VIII was organized in 2006, at the heart of the Vietnamese refugee capital: Southern California, USA with more than 1800 participants.
- Thang Tien IX took place in King City, California USA in 2009
- Thang Tien IX (TT9) was the largest Vietnamese Scouting Jamboree ever, with an estimated number of 2000 campers. In addition, the number of visitors might exceed 3000. . TT9 was held at San Lorenzo County Park in Monterey, Northern California from July 11 thru July 17, 2009.+
- ThangTien X (TT10) will be at Camp Strake near Houston TX, June 27 to July 3rd, 2014.
- Thang Tien X (TT10) welcomes scouts from all over the world back to "Mien Nang Am" of Houston, TX. The camp will actually be at Camp Strake, just south of Conroe TX and just north of the Woodlands. It is 25 minutes north of George Bush Intercontinental Airport. This is the second time that the Houston area gets to host a Trai Thang Tiien. We are estimating that there will be 1200 full time campers and about 300 part time campers and over 300 visitors. Yes it is hot down here. Yes there are lots of mosquitoes. Yes it is much more humid than California. But hey, as our song say, "Huong Dao Sinh Kho Khan Coi Thuong." Bring a hat, a bottle for water, some mosquito spray, be prepared as someone once said. =)

Hello Henrik, once again thank you for your participation here. Everything you wrote is accurate for this signature.
Hi Ari and everyone.
Sn 3rd house/Pluto 7th house:
The Soul is coming from a series of lives in which it has programmed a persona who has gathered and ordered information in order to expand it's knowledge of the mind and by doing so to feel secure. In this life the person is drawing upon a series of lives where the soul has desired to learn how to be in relationships with other in order to be able to listen to itself (PPP) and as a byproduct (by being able to stay true to itself) be able to give to others according to their reality (for good or for worse).
On the way, the persona that has been created has approached relationships in a mental fashion and communication as well as media (I guess even in the "old days" they had some media) has been how it has the person has expanded its data banks. To give an example, it's possible that the person has taken in information from other people on how other they involve themselves in relationship (2nd hand knowledge…gathering opinions) and have tried to apply this in their own relationship.
Excellent. This can then manifest in 1 of 2 ways. Either this soul, according to the knowledge they have absorbed, is strongly identified with various ideas about how to be in relationship to the point that they become closed off to more information to the extent that they have become fixed and strongly identified with what they already know. This can then manifest as various confrontations in relationships where it's ideas, which to the soul are logically sound and rational, are confronted with the actual needs/reality of the partner that cannot be explained or understood within the mental framework that has been established.
In another way this could also be a soul that has absorbed knowledge from its environment, in what ever way, and is still open to the expansion of that knowledge. This soul would then exemplify the capacity to listen to various perspectives and to truly consider them. This would make this soul a natural counselor type person that has a great capacity to listen deeply to any perspective/dynamic and understand the bottom line.
This soul may study (3rd house) any environment (3rd house) all as ways to collect more data relative to it's bottom line: relationships. An example of that would be to study the natural world and to consistently ask questions relative to its bottom line. "How do [these] animals meet one another's needs / how do they communicate their needs / how do various species work out differences in needs in their relationships?" etc...
For this soul, any study can get very specific and focused. The limitations in this soul occur as soon as it becomes identified with the established intellectual constructs and projects that or defends that in its relationships.
It's possible that some of its relationships have been where the Sn in the 3rd person feels that the other person have new information that can be of interest to the person (however, not in a Sagittarius way). In any way, because of the trine between the 3rd and 7th house, it has probably been easy for this person to listen and hear other peoples viewpoints in a relationship.
Yes, and the trine also means it would be easy to not listen.
This is not to say that the person has operated with the best of intentions and the possibility of manipulation is of course there. So you could still have the different scenarios that JWG speaks about (Pluto in the 7th house). In essence what you have is a series of lives in which the person has sought a variety of relationships in order to expand on its knowledge through linear train of thought and where it has learned how to listen (thus decreasing its reactive tendencies) to other within relationships.
Within this, ther is a spectrum of possibilities as to how this person has used this ability. The person could have manipulated relationships (by playing back the other persons reality while pushing it's own agenda) or it could have done pretty much the same thing but to be subservient in a relationship…and all facets in between.
I know this isn't a full exploration of the spectrum of possibilities of these three achetypes (Pluto, 7th house, and 3rd house), but I just wanted to post something to see if I'm on the right track here.
Yes you definitely are.
Thank you for this possibility.
All the best,
With love,
Ari Moshe

Hi Gray,
Ari, thank you for your feedback. I did realize after writing that I had focused too much on the 9th house and the Pluto polarity point, instead of just focusing on the 3rd house. I'll work on having better focus with that as I am writing- figured I might as well just share what I wrote, though.
Funny about your comment about intuition and the body- after reading that, I realized I have a combination of Sagitarius and Virgo in my own chart so I was probably speaking more from my own experience there.
I really appreciate the focus you are giving to the 3rd house past pattern influence. Its insightful how you described the pattern of how the 3rd south node/7th pluto would be trying to please a partner more so than expressing self-needs, and how that leads to dependencies in relationship. It is illuminating for me to think about the difference in meaning from wording it the way you did instead of using the word "repress" like I did- I get what you mean by this, and I think that is a fundamental 3rd House issue. Especially in combination with a 7th house Pluto, there is the ability to figure out the projected needs and expectations of a partner and then try to fit in with it through the 3rd house patterns, even being able to mutate and change as the partner's expectations change. This is a fundamental problem as the 3rd house south node/7th house Pluto person is not being truly authentic, so in some way or another they will eventually disappoint the partner most likely since they are not truly being authentic in the way they are going about meeting the needs of their partner, and they will also catalyze their own 7th house Pluto issues- they are not being honest with themselves or honestly stating their own needs, so they will most likely not have their needs met in their relationship, and all sorts of difficult back and forth projections in the relationship can ensue between the partners, with the attraction/repulsion aspect of the 7th house Pluto getting very much involved.
The "dependencies" aspect here can be a real problem, including that the 3rd house pattern has led them to foster a dependency with their partner, and since they haven't honestly been expressing their own needs or thinking in complete truth, sooner or later its going to come out that the partner can't really be dependent upon them for meeting their expectations and since a dependency has been developed it will make this issue all the more intense. The flip side being that as has been mentioned, they can also be effective counselors, listeners, and mirrors to others in relationship- however, unless they are working on the 9th house nodal direction and Pluto relationship issues, there can be some of these difficult dynamics developing in the relationship.
I also appreciated your feedback about how curious 3rd house south node people can be, and that with the 7th house Pluto this will lead to a lot of social engagement they ultimately find to be exhausting, which then leads to them needing time alone to recharge. This also makes me think of how they will probably tend to be attracted to relationships based upon a mental aspect, and if they are staying in a 3rd house pattern of relating this could mean they could remain more reactive in interactions and also be done with the relationship once they move on to being interested in different mental concepts they can find in other relationships.
That's a really good point.
When they meet someone that they feel can cause them some mental growth- this could be about learning more about a subject they are already interested in, or it could be from a sense that a potential relationship carries information that is confrontational and disruptive to their thinking but that there is an attraction for engaging it because of the subsequent growth it will cause mentally- they could then use a 3rd house ability to figure out how to engage the new relationship and then also continue it by fitting in with the mental frameworks of the conversations. If they have a tendency to be reacting, it could be even be with someone with whom they tend to have intense arguments that are nonetheless dramatic and compelling to participate in. If they aren't evolving out of a purely mental attraction like this in relationships, they could then have a tendency to move on to other relationships once they no longer feel the need to learn about the mental information or philosophy the previously compelling relationship was providing for them.
A positive flip side to this could be if they are a writer or journalist or filmmaker or artist or someone communicating through the media- in this way they could be in a constant process of picking up fascinating information around them and then communicating it out to the world, able to quickly move from relationship to relationship to help get the information they feel compelled to communicate through media. In any case though, if they aren't taking care of their own true needs but instead maintaining a heavy expression of curiosity focused upon absorbing mental information from others, they are definitely going to end up being exhausted! And then need to pull back from relationships to re-center if they want to gain more of a center- would this also be a movement to the 9th house in some ways?
Not necessarily. Unless there is a desire to evolve, to examine one's inner dynamics, backing off from relationship can be just that. The cycle of getting very immersed, becoming overwhelmed and then backing off can be a part of a reactive and unconscious cycle.
Just trying to focus more on a pure 3rd house direction- let me know if I'm off with this at all.
It was all on to me. Thank you for these further insights.
love, Gray
With love,
Ari Moshe

Hi Kora,
Hi again to All,
I was just reflecting on the the differences regarding the skill of listening as it applies to the Gemini and Libra archetypes and maybe others have further thoughts or insights....It seems to me that while Gemini can appear to be a good listener and is usually a good communicator the motivation is very different from Libra and this is what can make a Gemini listener very misleading to others....
Gemini is motivated by the need to expand information/ego via their relationship to physical phenemonal reality....they would probably be just as happy not relating to others at all if the information could come from a book or some other experience....Gemini is a very social archetype but the reason is for logical information gathering/ expansion....is this correct?
Yes very well put
If they have unresolved ego agendas in this information seeking pursuit then their listening skills can be very misleading to others in that others think they are interested in them....however their interest is not actually in personal relationship with others.
Yes, very true. As we know this can mean using another as a backboard for processing/organizing/figuring out their own thoughts, communicating with another just to acquire more knowledge that the soul has become fixated on, or talking just to prove a point etc...
On the other hand for Libra the soul desire/egoic need is to relate to others in a balanced personal way. Its kind of paradoxical to me that someone with Pluto/Libra if they have unresolved ego agendas might externally appear to others to be far worse at listening and relating than Gemini yet their authentic desire would be to learn to listen in a balanced way and to respond to others according to what they need because they are striving to know themselves through finding balance in relationship. Just some thoughts for whatever they are worth....correct me if I am off base here.
Thanks for these additional insights Kora.
With love,
Ari Moshe

Hi all, before we move on to add the north node and polarity point, I will wait another day or two to see if any further interpretations or questions wish to be posted here. Thank you again to everyone for your efforts here.
Tori, Paula and Robbyn let me know if you still intend to post here.

Hello Everyone and thank you for keeping the thread going.
Ari I am going to view from the side lines for now, but it would be appreciated if you could succinctly summarize what has been said up to this point regarding the bottom line of Pluto's placement in the 7th house, its Polarity Point and the South Node in the 3rd house. So much has been said, that the 'thead" has fallen out of the needle for me. In gratitude, robin

Hi Robbyin, I wont do that - the content is definitely here. Pretty much everyone's post was accurate, so whatever you read will give you the right direction for understanding this approach. I understand the feeling of the thread falling out of the needle very much.
For now all that was addressed was Pluto in the 7th via the sn in the 3rd house. Some people chose to add the polarity point and the north node, however that is what we are going to look at next.
With love,

Hello everyone,
Now we will move on to address specifically the nature of this soul's evolution in the current life.
The north node symbolizes the egocentric structure that allows for evolution to occur. It is who the soul begins to know itself to be as a reflection of it's desire to grow, to evolve. The north node defacto activates the Pluto polarity point.
Just as there are many possible expressions of how this 7th house Pluto has operated through the south node, so to there are many psychological dimensions to explore relative to the north node and the polarity point..
Thank you all again for your participation here! And as always, the value is in the effort.
God bless, with love

Hi Ari and all.
A few questions…hope I'm not rambling and hope they are clear enough to be answered
Is the Sn/Nn a more conscious process (at least in many people) than the Pluto process and can it be said that the Sn/Nn process is our conscious way of acting on the desires of the soul (even though one may not know the Soul's desires)? (Here I'm not referring to the instinctive acting out the desires of the soul (Mars) ).
As far as the nodal axis, is it correct to view the shift from Sn to Nn as a way to express the abilities/qualities that one has earned in the past ( i.e. Sn) in a new way, but that we first have to embrace the Nn qualities wholeheartedly (setting aside the Plut Sq the nodes situation). The reason I ask this is because with Pluto, there is a metamorphosing (progressive or cataclysmic), but should we view the shift from Sn to Nn in the same way.
In other words, is there a difference in the dynamic between going from Sn to Nn vs. going from Pluto to it's PPP?
All the best, and thank you once again for this opportunity,

Hi Henrik,
Hi Ari and all.
A few questions…hope I'm not rambling and hope they are clear enough to be answered .
Is the Sn/Nn a more conscious process (at least in many people) than the Pluto process and can it be said that the Sn/Nn process is our conscious way of acting on the desires of the soul (even though one may not know the Soul's desires)?
Yes that the sn/nn is conscious. The last statement however does specifically refer to Mars. That is exactly what the function of Mars is about.
The nodes are the filter of the soul through which it's desires become actualized via the specific KIND OF IDENTITY that will allow for the actualization of those desires. A way to tangibly understand this, to think of this outside of astrology for a moment, is that everyone in the world has some sort of self image. That self image, ego, is a reflection of what? The inner underlying desires.
So yes the nodes are predominately conscious, while Pluto is predominately unconscious and yet in the final analysis, they are inseparable. This is because the conscious self image of the soul is a reflection of it's inner desire nature. This is why EVERYONE no matter what stage of evolution they are at, has an ego that is a reflection of their evolutionary stage. And for everyone, that ego is in constant flux to reflect the soul's own evolutionary progress (or lack thereof).
(Here I'm not referring to the instinctive acting out the desires of the soul (Mars) ).
As far as the nodal axis, is it correct to view the shift from Sn to Nn as a way to express the abilities/qualities that one has earned in the past ( i.e. Sn) in a new way, but that we first have to embrace the Nn qualities wholeheartedly (setting aside the Plut Sq the nodes situation). The reason I ask this is because with Pluto, there is a metamorphosing (progressive or cataclysmic), but should we view the shift from Sn to Nn in the same way.
As always I'll answer according to what I understand. We don't "shift" from the sn to the nn - just as much as no identity is absolute and static as in "Yesterday I had a 3rd house ego, now I have a 9th house ego". Evolution can take place in many layers, stages, throughout a single lifetime as a reflection of the inner desire nature of the soul. Everything truly comes back to desire.
There are many layers to uncover as we access more of the north node kind of ego - all as a reflection of the soul working through it's unresolved desires and generating new ones that are more pertinent to it's evolution. It's pretty much ongoing.
However each case is unique. For example, sometimes the south node symbolizes a relive dynamic - ie something that needs to be re-addressed in order to be resolved in the current life. Or it can symbolize special gifts that the soul is here to actualize. Either (or both) of these scenarios are the case when Pluto or any planet is conjunct the sn. In a case like that the soul is required to work through the sn dynamics directly. This is totally inconsequential to the north node; it has to be focused on entirely on its own.
And yes, the nodes can definitely correlate to evolutionary catalysts (progressive or cataclysmic). Since they are the vehicle for the soul, they will trigger the core evolutionary issues.
In other words, is there a difference in the dynamic between going from Sn to Nn vs. going from Pluto to it's PPP?
As I understand it, they are inseperable - except in the various cases where we have Pluto squaring the nodes with Pluto applying to the sn, or when Pluto is conjunct the north node.
All the best, and thank you once again for this opportunity,
Thanks for your questions Henrik, please feel free to ask more about this. And I wholeheartedly invite any other experienced ea folk to offer perspective, for this or any other questions.
With love,
Ari Moshe

Hi Everyone,
Here is my attempt to integrate what we have so far:
This soul in the past has desired to know itself through a variety of relationships seeking to find balance and to learn how to listen and give to others what they need (Pluto 7th). They have done this via a logical mental egoic framework seeking relationship to understand or expand or clarify their understanding of themselves in relationship to physical phenomenol reality (3rd). Certain relationship imbalances, compulsions, limitations have occurred through egoic insecurity where they have been clinging to what has been familiar and resisting growth in new directions such as co-dependency patterns, unconscious projections on others, patterns of dominance or submission in relationships....In this life the soul intent is for freedom and independence and focus on themselves to expand their ego and learn about their own values (PPP 1st). This is done through instinctual action towards whatever interests them so that ultimately their relationships can be approached through choice rather than need. They will have drawn to themselves various challenges or confrontations in order to be conscious of this intent. This person in the past (3rd) might have been very adept at communication or not and they might or might not have been a good listener....they might have been reactive or defensive with others because of locked in points of view or they might have been deceitful regarding their true agendas. They may have become very scattered and exhausted from taking in too much information which they have not integrated and perhaps have been depending on their partner to find their own center. Growth will occur as this person makes conscious choices to find a unifying sense of personal purpose and meaning through exploring various cosmological or philosophical or spiritual systems which give a unifying world view of creation and one's place and purpose within it and teaches the individual to develop their own intuitive sense of truth based on natural law. (9th nn) They might find meaning and purpose by taking up a spiritual practice or studying astrology focusing their mental skills on deepening their understanding of a specific belief system that they feel aligned with. They might travel to other countries studying other systems of belief or take up meditation or spend time in nature in order to experience intuitively their connection with all of life and the underlying unity of different belief systems as they relate to natural law. As they become more aware of their own truth they are faced with the paths and choices they must make in order to evolve. The PPP in the 1st house automatically changes as they begin to realize that the efforts to find their truth have to be done on one's own independent of others. New directions are approached in an Aires/1st/Mars way because one is acting instinctively in unpaved directions learning about one's self and what one values. This person might choose to be in or out of a relationship but regardless will gain the growth to do this out of choice rather than need and as this person listens to themselves and what they value (PPP) they begin to have the ability to approach relationships in a balanced way so that they can honor themselves as well as listen to and respect the needs of the other person.

Hi Ari and Everyone,
Interesting questions from Henrik and Ari's responses....Ari, the following quote from your response to Henrik brought up a question for me:
However each case is unique. For example, sometimes the south node symbolizes a relive dynamic - ie something that needs to be re-addressed in order to be resolved in the current life. Or it can symbolize special gifts that the soul is here to actualize. Either (or both) of these scenarios are the case when Pluto or any planet is conjunct the sn. In a case like that the soul is required to work through the sn dynamics directly. This is totally inconsequential to the north node; it has to be focused on entirely on its own.
My question has to do with looking at a chart where a planet is conjunct the south node (not Pluto) and nothing else is squaring the nodes...I'll give the example of Venus conjunct South Node....are you saying that for evolution to proceed this person does not work through the North Node but evolves through the South Node focus and Venus? (Venus is not retrograde) What role does the North Node play in relation to the South Node in a case like this as far as affecting the evolutionary intent?

Hi Kora,
Kora's question: What role does the North Node play in relation to the South Node in a case like this as far as affecting the evolutionary intent?
Kora's example: Venus conjunct South Node
With Venus conjunct the South Node, there can be a sense of being "stuck" in past life dynamics (South Node = the past) that the Soul has been trying to evolve out of, but has been unsuccessful.
The Soul is stuck at that point - Venus conj South Node - and therefore needs to focus on that area, to work and re-work that area, until NEW choices are made that can then move the Soul into a new direction - a forward momentum (not staying stuck in the past) - so that the lessons are understood, and evolution is effected. This will certainly take the form of re-living key karmic relationships.
Once new choices are progressively made, the Soul therefore gradually becomes unstuck in that area - easing out of it - integrating the new lessons - and culminating the past. In order to culminate something, there has to be a re-living of it, so that the actual culmination CAN take place.
It can take conscious effort to move into a new direction because of the pull towards the familiarity of the past, where security exists. In your example, the resistance could mean reverting to distorted relationship dynamics (inequality, submission/domination, etc). Obviously, these old patterns are not going to work. That's why the focus needs to be on that Venus/South Node area - to move away from the past through REDEFINING the past, not skipping over it - not rushing forward toward the attraction of the North Node.
I'm not sure if this following paragraph is correct. It seems logical, but will have to wait for Rad to clarify:
The evolution into the future occurs THROUGH the Venus/South Node lessons (equality, balance, etc), with the North Node then naturally evolving THROUGH the South Node's development. In turn the whole karmic axis (Pluto, PPP, NN) evolve through the South Node too.
Kora and Ari, hope this is helpful. Please add or subtract as necessary.

Hi Kora, Linda
Thanks for your contribution Linda.
The evolution into the future occurs THROUGH the Venus/South Node lessons (equality, balance, etc), with the North Node then naturally evolving THROUGH the South Node's development. In turn the whole karmic axis (Pluto, PPP, NN) evolve through the South Node too.
As I understand it that is ONLY the case when Pluto squares the nodes and applies to the south node. In that case the Pluto polarity point, the north node and its ruler is integrated through the sn and its ruler. (see chapter 1 of the Pluto book - when Pluto squares the nodes: Example with the sn in taurus in the 6th, Pluto in Leo in the 9th).
Regarding the generic example Kora offered, I understand that the Venus sn symbolizes a specific karmic requirement that needs to be addressed in the current life (either unresolved karmic dynamics around relationship that need to be relived and resolved, and/or a special gift that is meant to be offered). The north node still symbolizes the evolving egocentric structure that, along with it's planetary ruler, activates the Pluto polarity point is activated.
Only in cases when there are no aspects to the north node is the soul required to FIRST work out the sn (and the planets on the sn) before the north node and the polarity point can be developed. Jeff Green has taught that in such a case, the unresolved karma of the sn and the planets on the sn will only be released by the time of the second Saturn return. And even that is a matter of what kind of choices the soul makes - ie it's not promised. The preliminary work has to be done first.
For example lets put the sn and Venus in the 7th house, north node in the 1st house. The first house kind of ego may be in process of being developed - thus evolution (Pluto polarity point) would in fact be activated to some extent. AND at the same time, that Venus sn symbolizes a karmic requirement that needs to be addressed as a part of the current life evolutionary requirement. However it's not a "sn first, nn second" kind of dynamic - unless of course there are no aspects to the nn, as stated above.
In the end, the sn/planet on the sn requirements are there to be worked out, so in the final analysis evolution will of course be
if that is yet unresolved since the soul's capacity to develop the nn will be
by the weight of the past. This will carry over in some way to the next life.
I feel it is most appropriate at this point, before any further responses or questions are posted, to ask if Rad can clarify this in whatever ways are necessary. I don't want to pursue further dialog in case that will create confusion for anyone.
With love,
Ari Moshe

Hi Ari,
Do you think I should just delete my post. I don't want to cause confusion for anyone. I understand you are trying to stay with the basics at this stage.

I think it's best to let Rad clarify what needs clarifying since we have both made two different points. I don't want to assume that my correction to your post is defacto correct.

Seattle to Sao Paulo - Supporters Clubs latest
12 February 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Four more Supporters Clubs have joined the global Spurs family.
We welcome USA-based Seattle, St Louis and Louisville and Sao Paulo in Brazil.
Seattle Spurs were accepted as an official supporters club in January, but its history runs much deeper than that.
A regular contingent of Spurs fans have been frequenting the George & Dragon Pub in Fremont since it opened, in 1995, made up of British expats and Americans who understand that the game is about glory.
While the official club's beginnings are in Seattle, Spurs supporters are joining from all over the Puget Sound region. In less than a month, we have already swelled to 58 official members, and nearly 300 'likes' on Facebook.
Check out the gallery for members at Seattle Spurs' inaugural meeting!
We can report success on the pitch for our UAE Spurs Supporters Club.
The team came out on top in the Sharjah Wanderers Old Boys Sevens Tournament in Sharjah, UAE - an event that included teams from Barcelona, Inter Milan, AS Roma, Juventus, Leeds United, Everton, Newcastle United, Middlesbrough, Glasgow Rangers, Celtic, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Real Madrid and West Ham United.
The team was - Andrew Mendes, Rich Thayne, Moad Touhami, Lawrence Miranda, Alan Chan, Miles Galloway, Sebastian, Rebecca Stuart.
Our Singapore Spurs Supporters Club celebrated it's 13th anniversary dinner in January, when almost 100 Singapore Spurs Supporters' Club (SSSC) fans and their families attended the London Gastrobar. The evening included a buffet dinner, a host of games, exciting prizes and a cruise along the iconic Singapore River. The wonderful evening ended with the live screening of our 2-0 win against Crystal Palace!
Look out for photographs from DC Spurs at the Lane for Sunday's win against Everton and Afghan Spurs in the gallery...

Women's Hockey: First Half Stats
MEQUON, Wis. - After a tough 1-0 defeat on the road against Lake Forest College on December 6, the Concordia University Wisconsin women's hockey team needed a bounce-back performance in their final game before four weeks away from game action.
The Falcons got just that, rallying to defeat Bethel University 2-1 in Tomahawk, Wis., last Saturday to go into the holidays with a 6-4-0 (4-3-0 NCHA) record.
It's the first time CUW has had a winning record at Christmas in head coach Jim Ingman's five seasons in charge of the Falcons, and he says the victory against Bethel was extremely important for his team's mentality.
"You never want to go into a long break with a loss," Ingman said. "It was a strong win for us because Bethel is a very good team with a lot of veteran players; and once again, we went down right away but fought to come from behind for the victory."
Competing in close games is something the Falcons have gotten used to, as five of their first 10 games this season have been decided by only one goal.
CUW is 3-2 in those one-goal contests, with both losses coming against Lake Forest.
While the pair of losses against the Foresters were tough pills to swallow for the Falcons, Ingman knows his players can't dwell on the past.
"The two Lake Forest games were one-goal games that we probably should have won," Ingman said. "Those are points we can't get back; but now we just have to work for pucks, score goals, and do what we need to do to win games."
The Falcons have gotten stellar goaltending from two freshman netminders, as Kaitlyn Evans (Fairbanks, Alaska) and Andrea Mizanskey (Palos Heights, Ill.) have both produced big saves in key moments.
The pair's statistics through the first half of the season are nearly identical: Mizanskey is 3-2 as a starter, while posting a .924 save percentage and a 2.26 goals against average. Evans is also 3-2, and is just behind her freshman counterpart with a .904 save percentage and a 2.92 GAA.
"Kaitlyn and Andrea are both playing great," Ingman said. "Kaitlyn's numbers really don't reflect how well she's played, and Andrea is a quick goalie who brings a lot of energy when she's in net."
Evans and Mizanskey are just two of the 16 freshmen on the CUW roster this season, and Ingman likes the way his young players have matured over the first half of the year.
"Being a young team, we've been able to play with just about everyone we've gone up against," he said. "We have a lot of young talent that's coming along, and it's nice to see us have early success given how young we are."
The Falcons will return to practice on December 29, when they will begin preparing for a second half schedule that will be crucial in terms of where they'll rank in the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association standings at the end of the regular season.
CUW is in a two-way tie with Adrian College for sixth in the 11-team conference, and will have their shot against most of the teams who are currently above them in the NCHA standings.
Ingman knows that while his team has played well up to this point, its toughest stretch is still to come.
"This is when it counts," he said. "We only play two more non-conference games, then it's all conference games the rest of the way. We just have to keep playing our game; getting shots, getting to the net, and playing good defense. If we do that, we'll be fine."

Johnny Otis, rhythm and blues pioneer, dies
Johnny Otis, the bandleader, pioneering producer, singer, songwriter and radio host who was at the forefront of the rhythm and blues movement, died at his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Altadena on Tuesday. He was 90.
Mr. Otis had been in poor health for several years, said his manager, Terry Gould.
Best known for his 1958 rock and roll spoof "Willie and the Hand Jive," Mr. Otis, born John Veliotes in 1921 in Vallejo, was the son of Greek immigrants who ran a grocery store in Berkeley. Growing up in an integrated neighborhood made a big impression on him.
"Black culture captured me," Mr. Otis said. "I loved it, and it was richer and more fulfilling and more natural. I thought it was mine."
Recording, writing hits
As a teen, he played drums with Count Otis Matthews' West Oakland House Stompers. With his own band he scored his first hit, "Harlem Nocturne," in 1945.
Mr. Otis went on to cut "Double Crossing Blues" with Esther Phillips; write "Every Beat of My Heart" for Gladys Knight & the Pips; and produce Big Mama Thornton's recording of "Hound Dog," which later became a hit for Elvis Presley.
Through his published reviews and radio and television appearances, Mr. Otis made it his mission to take black music to white audiences.
He discovered and promoted major R&B figures such as Etta James and Little Richard, and supervised recordings by the likes of Little Willie John, Charles Brown, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Hank Ballard and Johnny Ace.
Mr. Otis spent years as a disc jockey on KFOX in Los Angeles and later anchored a show on KPFA. He was a TV host, civil rights activist, record label owner and minister of his own church, and he taught at Vista Community College in Berkeley.
Mr. Otis also found time to work as deputy chief of staff for Mervyn Dymally when the Democrat served in the Assembly and state Senate, and as lieutenant governor and congressman.
Before retiring in 2005, Mr. Otis lived on a 5-acre Sebastopol fruit ranch that featured three life-size body casts of the women who used to sing with his band as the Three Tons of Joy.
Occasional live shows
He only made occasional live appearances, spending most of his time raising acrobatic pigeons and painting. He also opened an organic grocery store, where he would regularly play with his band to standing-room-only audiences.
Mr. Otis was admitted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a songwriter and producer in 1994.
In 1999, his extensive recording history was covered in the three-CD boxed set "The Johnny Otis Rhythm & Blues Caravan: the Complete Savoy Recordings."
"When I'm gone and others of my era are gone, there will be no more of this music produced," Mr. Otis said in a Chronicle interview in 2000. "I don't care how much these people think they've got it down with their little tapes. Blues, rhythm and blues and jazz is doomed as we know it."
Mr. Otis is survived by his wife, Phyllis; sons, Shuggie and Nicky; daughters Janet and Laura; and several grandchildren.
No memorial plans have been announced.

Tim Hetherington was killed one year ago today by mortar shells in Misurata, Libya, while photographing the Libyan civil war. The photographer and Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker was known for his combat images that turned their focus to the human, making the usual trivialities of life and unusual horrors of war resonate equally, lingering with you long after you've clicked to the next slide.
Hetherington's images and two of his documentary films ("Diary" and "Sleeping Soldiers") are currently on display at the Yossi Milo Gallery in New York, focusing on his photographs taken in Liberia and Afghanistan from 2003-2008. The images are taken from the series "Long Story Bit By Bit: Liberia Retold" and "Infidel," Hetherington's book on American troops stationed in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley.
"The work in Afghanistan shows a vulnerable side of soldiers at rest and at play, while the work in Liberia shows people involved or coping with a civil war," Yossi Milo, owner of the gallery, said in an email. "The images are remarkable in different ways, and because of Tim's style, you can still relate to even the toughest scenes."
Hetherington has acknowledged the "prickly relationship between the press and the military" in the past. "I liked them [the soldiers], and I think they felt that, and I think that hastened their opening up to me," he said in an interview with Ideas Tap.
"I remember reading one story that included an interview with one of the soldiers he had photographed in Afghanistan," Milo wrote. "When asked what he wanted to do when he left the Army, he said he wanted to be Tim. That's the kind of information that makes these photographs even more meaningful."
Yossi Milo Gallery's Tim Hetherington exhibit runs through May 19. Go here for more information, and click through some of the images below.

Supporters of a proposed $1-per-pack tax on cigarettes argue lives and billions of dollars could be saved by the ballot measure. But they are being outspent by a cigarette company that has mobilized to fight the campaign.
Backers of the California Cancer Research Campaign briefed lawmakers and staff last week, unveiling research showing that the ballot measure, if passed, could cut state health spending and the burden of cigarette-related illness.
The measure could raise $855 million in its first full year, with about half the funding going to cancer research and the rest to campaigns to cut tobacco use and prevent illegal cigarette sales, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office. Voters could get a chance to cast ballots on the measure next year, or as soon as June if Gov. Jerry Brown succeeds in getting a special election set to extend some taxes.
University of California researchers predict the cigarette tax could lead to an 11 percent decline in the number of smokers in the state, studies show. Without the measure, the current smoking rate of 12.9 percent could rise by 9 percent by 2016, researchers say.
The measure might save the lives of 4,174 Californians between 2012 and 2016, researchers concluded. Health cost savings might range from $3.3 to $28.2 billion, they said.
Researchers warn that cuts in California smoking and lung cancer rates may begin to reverse if smoking prevention efforts don't see sustained support.
The findings add a dollars-and-cents argument in favor of the ballot measure that already has the support of sports icon and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong and former California Senate Pro Tem and cancer survivor Don Perata, who is co-chairing the ballot committee with Armstrong.
Working against the measure is a group called Taxpayers Against Out-of-Control Spending, which is almost solely funded by the Altria Group, which owns the Philip Morris cigarette company.
The group's website lists other supporters and says "we all believe cancer research is important." But the group criticizes the per-pack tax, citing concerns about funds being spent out of state and accountability to taxpayers.
During the first three months of this year, opponents outspent supporters by more than a 2-to-1 margin. Altria spent $1.2 million, far more than the supporters' $424,000.
Cigarette-maker money went to pollsters, campaign consultants and a prominent political attorney.
Also working against the measure is a current raid on other funds derived from cigarette taxes. Motivated by the deep budget shortfall, Gov. Brown is dipping into $1 billion in Proposition 10 funds, which taxpayers approved in a 1998 ballot measure meant for early childhood education and health programs. The budget raid wipes out about half of county funds for such efforts.
Rhys Williams, a spokesman for the California Cancer Research Act campaign, said supporters "would oppose" any effort to move the funds to solve state budget crises.
"The ultimate goal of CCRA is to end smoking so at some point in the future we hope we don't get any revenue from CCRA, because no one's smoking anymore," Williams said.
The legislative analyst raises another point that quashes one favorable financial argument: While some health costs may be saved in the short term, the state may pay more for long-term care if people live longer. The state analyst office did not account for the intangible benefits or boost in productivity related to Californians living longer, healthier lives.
California has among the lowest smoking rates in the U.S. at 12.9 percent, compared to the highest rates of 25 percent in Kentucky and West Virginia, according to 2009 Centers for Disease Control data. The added tax is expected to increase cigarette prices to about $6 to $7 per pack, depending on the brand and vendor.

The success or failure of this relationship may hinge on whether or not they can meet on an emotional level, especially given the extra pressures of living their lives in the public eye.
Los Angelas, CA (PRWEB) December 31, 2011
Many are enthralled with the young Hollywood relationship between Justin Beiber and Selena Gomez. LoveHoroscope.me takes a look at their joint horoscope to see if they can last in 2012.
Justin Bieber was born on 1st March and Selena Gomez on 22nd July making this a potential love match between a Pisces Man and a Leo Woman.
Both signs are extremely romantic at heart and they will of course have had a terrific time wining and dining at the start of their romance. There are potential dangers for this relationship as Selena, being a Leo, is likely to thrive more on the social aspects than Justin who may prefer a little more private time. However, they are both used to being in the limelight and the likelihood is that they will both have been striving for precious private time together.
The Leo woman is naturally direct and generous with their affections. She is also very cheerful and bubbly most of the time and this makes her great fun to be around. If Selena is a typical Leo woman she will be extremely proud and compassionate with a very forgiving nature. If Justin is able to consistently express his love and make her feel safe and secure in his company then they have a chance for the relationship to develop. Justin, as a Pisces man, will still value his personal freedom very highly and will remain upbeat as long as he is allowed to be himself. However, should he feel that he is being restrained he could become uneasy and restless.
A typical Leo woman needs to be the center of attention and Justin will have to be careful that he does not attempt to overshadow Selena, both publicly and privately. As with all relationships, trust is vital and once achieved it can open up all sorts of possibilities for them. Being in the spotlight will make it difficult, but Justin will have to go out of his way to show her that she is special and keep the magic alive. If anyone is in a position to do so it is Justin!
Based off of traditional Astrology, as a Pisces man, Justin should possess the natural charm required to calm the more fiery temperament of the Leo woman. The Pisces is usually a good listener and knows when to offer support and understanding to their partner. The Leo woman prefers to lead in a relationship and this is the biggest problem they are likely to face. With Serena being two years older than Justin, this may have quickly been established. The Pisces are usually more passive and will allow the Leo to adopt the leading role but, perhaps more so in a celebrity coupling, he may ultimately grow to resent it. At some point there is a high risk of a clash of egos. Justin will have several skills to help him including his quick wit, intellect and natural charisma. He will also benefit from the surprising inner strength that Serena is likely to possess. Neither will lack in confidence or self-belief and, should they develop a passion and understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses they have the potential to make a truly formidable love match.
Both signs are romantic by nature and can be extremely passionate so there are excellent prospects for their love life. It is likely that Serena, as the Leo, will be the more feisty of the two and Justin may need to "man up" a little to deal with her more dominant side. The Pisces man is prone to sulk a little when they feel a bit downtrodden and he will need to learn how to express himself strongly within the relationship. For this relationship to succeed in the long term, both are going to have to make allowances. If serious problems do occur it is difficult to see how these two are going to resolve them at their tender age. But, while things are going well then these two will certainly make the most of it. The horoscope compatibility shows an exciting relationship between these two signs.
Both enjoy a vivid imagination and a natural sense of fun. Whilst enjoying their celebrity status they may be shielded from many of the more mundane aspects of a relationship, for the time being at least. The Leo's constant need for approval may ultimately prove draining for the Pisces. In turn, the Leo may struggle to deal with the more emotional Pisces and their need to retain a significant amount of freedom within the relationship.
The best prospect for this couple lies in their sense of fun and they have clearly been enjoying a very exciting time together. Each possesses qualities that appear slightly magical to the other but the test will be once the initial attraction starts to wane. If they make efforts to fully understand their natural differences there is a chance that this pairing could last but it is not guaranteed. The success or failure of this relationship may hinge on whether or not they can meet on an emotional level, especially given the extra pressures of living their lives in the public eye.

Batavia's multitalented and still-growing 6-foot-5-inch sophomore, Nick Fruendt, has attracted the early interest of Illinois and Ball State. Teammate David Bryant's uncle, ex-West Aurora star Jay Bryant, is an assistant coach at Ball State. Fruendt is rated among the top 10 sophomores in the state by ChicagoHoops.com.
Lincoln Park coach Tom Livatino believes 6-4 junior Jonathan Montgomery is flying beneath the radar of too many college coaches. "I'm a little surprised at how underrecruited he is," Livatino said. "He is almost 6-5 and strong as an ox. He has a 3.0 grade-point average (on a 4.0 scale). Right now Penn State, Northern Illinois and Ball State are showing interest, but I have to believe a lot more schools will start recruiting him in the coming year."

Description: Dark haired cougar lady with awesome set of cans had to leave for work, but that doesn't mean her slave can do whatever he wants, the poor guy had to sit chained in the bathroom until she came home, the kicker being that she didn't let him have breakfast nor did she let him eat while she was out. There's a special meal she prepared for him today, a piece of bread she put into her shoe when she went to work, it spent most of the day there, soaking in her foot sweat and her scent until it was something most men wouldn't even look at, but this guy was more than eager to munch it all down and then to give his hot mature mistress a full foot tongue bath that left her feet wet and clean, he even offered to clean the insides of her shoes, just to be able to inhale more of her scent. It's not every day that you see a male slave as well trained as this guy, but she sure has put a lot of effort into making him completely obedient boy toy.

This gigabit Ethernet is primarily carried on fiber optic cables. While the speed sounds good, and looks good, the speeds you receive depend on the capabilities of the computer you are connecting to.
Even if you have two computers and both computers have gigabit Ethernet capable network interfaces, the present mechanical hard drives are not presently capable of writing and reading at such high speeds to even come close to maxing out gigabit Ethernet connections. Choose solid-state drives over disc drive to obtain the best performance.
This causes a lot of confusion with the speeds of the internet connections with some cable company customers. Even though the cables themselves are capable of that high of a rate of data transmission, the computers that are processing the information that is received are not capable as of yet to process the information at that rate so the speeds seem much slower. In 2002 the 10GBE was available.
The rate of adoption however was very slow. The adoption rate did start to pick up by 2006. In 2010 the 100 GbE was first released, but has not as of yet taken off.
This is due to the same reasons for the confusion about the speeds. The computers themselves are not yet capable of that high of a processing rate. Once the computers catch up with the speeds of the cables there will be a wider adoption rate for the technology.

AL amyloidosis is immunoglobin light chain amyloidosis, a common form that is caused by the production of abnormal antibodies by the bone marrow, notes Mayo Clinic. The antibodies accumulate in the organs because the body lacks the ability to break them down, hence disrupting the normal functioning of the organs.Continue Reading
Typically, AL amyloidosis affects the kidney, heart, liver, skin and nerves, according to Mayo Clinic. It mostly attacks people who are 50 or older, and it is more common in men than in women. The treatment options for AL amyloidosis include chemotherapy, which involves stopping the growth of cells that produce the abnormal antibodies, and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases

If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Me: There's some Kale I need to use up.. can I make that for Lunch? DH: How about some Kale rice?..saute the Kale with onion, add some rice..?? Me: Sounds good.. how about adding some Garbanzo to the mix? DH: Perfect.. can you make some cucumber Raita with that? 1/2 hr later.... ME on the F52 Hotline: URGENT: need info on spices to pair with Kale.. 15 min later.. HLA: Go Moroccan with some Ras el Hanout.. 1/2 hr Later.. Kristen: Nutmeg.. (the only hitch.. I was already half way through) BUT, to cut a LOONG story short.. Delicious healthy Biryani spiced up with Anardana (dried Pomegranate powder), Ras el hanout with a touch of Nutmeg. Adding fresh Pomegranates as a garnish in lieu of herbs was a last minute touch but it worked splendidly!
Serves: 4-6
cups Canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
cups Cooked Basmati rice
bunch Tuscan /Dinosaur Kale leaves washed, dried, deveined and cut into a chiffonade
largish Shallots, finely sliced
tablespoons Olive oil + extra for drizzling
tablespoon Coriander seeds, whole
1 - 2
tablespoons Ras el Hanout spice blend
tablespoons Anardana (dried Pomegranate powder) OR pomegranate molasses
cup Pomegranate Arils
Salt to taste
pinch Cayenne pepper (as per taste)
cup Toasted sliced almonds
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. WHen it just barely begins to smoke, add the coriander seeds, stir and allow to turn a golden brown. Add the shallots and fry on low heat until it turns translucent. Add the Kale, Garbanzo, Ras el Hanout, Pomegranate Powder (or molasses) and the cayenne. (cover and cook on low heat until the kale is completely wilted. Add salt and adjust for seasoning.
- Brush a 8 inch baking dish liberally with olive oil. Layer half the Basmati evenly. Over the rice, add the Cooked Kale mixture and spread evenly. Using a microplane, grate the nutmeg evenly over the green mixture. Add the remaining Basmati rice and smooth down over the kale/garbanzo mix. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and drizzle with extra oil. You may have some Kale Garbanzo filling left over..
- Cover the baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes till the dish emits a fragrant aroma. The steam trapped inside helps the cooking process. since the kale isn't as 'liquidy' as spinach.
- Remove the dish from the oven, uncover and allow to cool slightly. Liberally garnish with the fresh pomegranate arils prior to serving. Pair this with a simple Yogurt side such as Raita or Tzatziki

DRAMA CLUB: My Love From Another Star Episodes 20-21 (1/2)
With heavy hearts and tears in our eyes, we find ourselves forced to say "goodbye" to what has to be, on of the best dramas we (or at least I) have ever watched, our beloved, My Love From Another Star. How the end managed to sneak up on us so quickly, I couldn't say, but here it is and all I can do is breathe a heavy sigh of contentment as I dive into these final two episodes... Care to join me?
I'll begin by pointing out how pleased I am with how neatly this drama was wrapped up; there were no loose ends, no strangely disjointed moments where you were left wondering what the heck just happened... Every character, in one way or another, had his or her story brought neatly to a close and I can leave this drama with a refreshing amount of satisfaction, which, I have to say, is very nice.
I am beyond happy to see that Jae Kyung got what he deserved in the end. The joy I felt bordered on giddiness as I watched Jae Kyung's attorney stand up in court and state that he had nothing to say in Jae Kyung's defense! I applauded when Lee Beom Joong came to tell his son, in person, that he was going to have to pay for the crimes he had committed because he, as his father, was no longer going to use his money to cover them up. It may have taken him a ridiculously long time to see the error of his ways, spoiling Jae Kyung has he had for all those years, but in the end, he repented which means, in my book, all has been forgiven.
I would have liked to have seen Hee Kyung finally end his infatuation with Song Yi and end up with a lovely, sweet girl before it was all said and done with alas, we can't always have everything we want. I suppose I can be happy knowing that, in the end, he seemed to become more of a overly-supportive friend of Song Yi's than the incredibly annoying puppy he was when this drama began. At least I can be happy knowing he never ended up with Se Mi.
Speaking of Se Me, I have to admit that, as much as I hated her in the beginning, by the end, I found myself warming up to her. She too inspired my applause as she began to see the error of her ways and take steps toward becoming a better person. I must say, I appreciated her honesty as she confronted those she hurt most, namely Hee Kyung and Song Yi, and I like that she has started down the path to restoring those relationships, despite the fact that it's not going to be an easy journey. I'd like to think that by the time we get to the "three years later" she and Song Yi have established a mutual respect for each other that keeps them friendly competitors in their work without making them overly chummy.
As for our heroine and her crazy, messed up family, I was so happy to see the strides taken toward reconciliation by them all. While they may not be entirely whole, we leave them in a much better place than where we found them and that makes me incredibly happy.
Last but certainly not least, we have our OTP, who filled my heart with a delightfully painful mixture of joy and heartache. The last week they spent together before Min Joon disappeared was the sweetest, most genuine display of real love I have ever seen in a drama. There were no over-the-top gestures, no hysterical confessions, simply an "I love you" delivered with a beautiful sincerity, so heart-felt it moved me to tears. While it pains me to think that Song Yi and Min Joon will spend the rest of their lives as if they're swinging to and fro on some great pendulum, forever moving from moments of pure bliss when together to moments of bitter heartache when apart, it's better than having Min Joon disappear completely. Over all, Song Yi and Min Joon have found a way to live "happily ever after" and I can't ask for anything more.
Now it's time for you to share your thoughts on My Love From Another Star's grand finale. Are you as happy with the way things turned out as I am or would you have liked to see things settled differently. As always, I'd love to know what you're thinking so be sure to leave a comment below.

Today is World Environment Day, and this year's events coincide with host-country Canada's 150th birthday celebrations.
Even before establishing Lake Louise as Canada's first National Park (1885), successive governments have worked to implement sustainability measures intended to manage the Canadian environment, and economy, more responsibly. Canadians are proud of the identity they derived from their rich natural heritage, and are ready to share that with the world.

Mcfly helped a fan's boyfriend propose by filming a special video message before he went down on one knee.
Ben Beechey enlisted British bandmates Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd to introduce his proposal to girlfriend Tegan Lywood at a family party in a pub in Devon, England earlier this month (Dec12).
In the footage, which appeared on a TV screen in the venue, the pop rockers said, "Hi Tegan. We're McFly and your boyfriend informs us that you're a fan and we thought we'd get in touch to wish you a Merry Christmas.
"Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Actually your boyfriend Ben might have something he wants to say to you so it's over to you Ben."
Beechey then got down on one knee to propose to his shocked partner, who immediately said yes. The pair will wed in 2014.

Lady Gaga And Xtina Duet on The Voice Finale
We feel good.
There is no electrical charge quite like the one produced by the meeting of prima donnas on live TV. It didn't hurt that Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera sported coordinating wigs and champagne flutes as they held hands and belted "Do What You Want" on tonight's season five finale of The Voice. Do you think they met at their wig wrangler's house prior to tonight's episode? Or did they first become acquainted in the primordial diva stew from which they both emerged, fully formed and draped in skin-tight gold lamé, to declare their greatness once again?

Ooooooh! I love Picross! Too bad my wii are in Jap. My clever fiance bought it. Bastard.
Another one of those few not on VC in this country. Though I've heard it was only available in Europe for like 3-4 days or something...
Nah, SMB:Lost Levels was the game that was only available for two weeks or so, all other games including this are available normally.
Great game if you like Picross btw.
It took slightly over 21 years for them to release that version of the game anywhere outside Japan.

My painting practice has evolved from narrative to abstraction, with a current focus on hard-edge and geometric styles which use mathematical methods in their image making. The contents of these works include both abstract machineries and optical architectures among other things. I see these works as two dimensional representations of my sculpture and installation works.

Beyond Retro
recommendation by joyride_ied
This is one of those places where it's dangerous to go if you just think, "I'm just going to take a look." Because no, you're going to buy something.There is such an awesome array of well organized clothes in this big space. It's got a good selection for guys and girls, although (obviously) the female section trumps the men's. Prices are very reasonable!

Part informative history and part industrial film, "The Story of Computer Graphics" is a useful overview of the technology that is rapidly overtaking the world of mainstream visual entertainment, among other things. Despite its hot subject matter and the parade of striking visuals, pic is too academic and talking-headsy to cut it theatrically, but is a natural for TV, cable, video and educational venues after specialized site and event screenings. Hi-Def-shot feature will preem at a free public screening at 8:30pm Sunday at the Shrine Auditorium as part of the Siggraph '99 conference, with more showings to follow through Aug. 13.
This accessible "Story" begins by laying out the Cold War-inspired political and military motivations behind the technology race and development of computers. The birth of interactive computer design around 1960 initially led to applications in aircraft and auto design, but it wasn't long before artists, invariably of the avant-garde variety, began to tinker with this esoteric new means of expression.
For a lay audience unacquainted with the origins of the computer revolution, this early material, which is illustrated by archival footage as well as many original computer-spawned images, mostly proves fascinating. Pioneers of the movement recall the general incomprehension of what they were doing, the few universities and companies (Bell Labs in particular) that were receptive to them, and how they often had to sneak in work on their seemingly far-out projects.
After an appreciative look at the work of trailblazing computer animators John Whitney Sr., Whitney Jr. and others, pic turns to the challenges involved in attempting to replicate reality visually, the breakthrough of computer graphics into the mainstream via TV commercials and the setback the 1982 Disney feature "Tron" represented to the field's practitioners.
Subsequent coverage of the advent of personal computers, laser prints, advanced space and medical technology, virtual reality representations and the milestones repped by such pictures as "Toy Story," "T2" and "Jurassic Park" are not uninteresting, but far too much of the film by this point consists of one expert after another (54 interviewees appear in all) sitting in mostly bland settings intoning dryly about relatively technical matters. Although the sense of exploration and discovery is conveyed (3-D virtual reality reps the next frontier), it's no thanks to the approach of the film itself, which ultimately proves prosaic and earthbound.
A fascinating area for inquiry that is present here only implicitly is the personal-cultural makeup of the community responsible for the computer revolution. Nearly all those who appear on-camera are mild-mannered, articulate middle-aged men, but archival footage reveals them almost uniformly to have once been freaks, geeks and misfits of the first order. At least a few words might have been devoted to the nature of these people of skill, vision and insight, who started on the far fringes but are now in the forefront of society both financially and culturally.
As directed by Frank Foster and written by Judson Rosebush, pic is appreciative of the accomplishments in the field and fastidious in covering all the bases, but its straightforward nature starts working against it by the final half-hour. Nonetheless, this is a good primer for those who may have noticed that the world has recently changed and are curious how it happened.

Notes on Entering and Departing the Solomons and PNG
Published: 2009-08-21 12:04:35
Countries: Papua New Guinea , Solomon Islands
I have made a few notes re. entering and departing Solomons.
Basically to remain 100% in the law if you go to Nendo (Lata) you can get Quarantine/Health clearance but nothing else. The police will say it's OK for you to cruise and they send your info. to Honiara, but when we got to Gizo to clear we were told that we should not have listened to the Police as they do not know what they are talking about and we should have gone straight to Honiara. Had to do lots of diplomatic talking....
Then in Gizo we found that there was no Immigration Officer (and none expected for 1-2 years) and we had to sail back to Noro where we cleared no problem.
We also got in trouble in PNG briefly. We arrived in Rabaul and went straight to Kokopo for clearance. We were there last year, went to Simpson for clearance and were told to go to Kokopo so did the same, especially as we could hardly see Simpson for ash clouds. Of course we tried to contact harbour authorities by VHF but no one would respond, even though we heard them talking to a ship. We also called by phone to Customs several times and the numbers did not work! A few days earlier our office had got a fax of our arrival notice through but only to Moresby. Their email bounced! I went ashore and found a shipping agent who rang Customs for me and I then went to their Office. When I got there the Customs guy had just had a hit of beetlenut and was high and he and the Health Inspector got really mad at me for "breaking the law" and getting off the boat before clearing!! I then had to go back to the boat with 6 guys in boots who filled the dinghy and boat with sand and were not nice to deal with at all!
Eventually after them hearing about OceansWatch and what we were doing they calmed down and after an hour on the boat were best mates. The Health Inspector was from an Island I knew all about and he ended up offering to bunk work and be my chauffer!
We did not have Visa's when we arrived but that was no problem. We were issued with a receipt for 100vt each crew and 200vt for the Master which stated we had a visa for 60 days.
We have created a Marine Reserve with the community of Rennell Island and expect to create 2 more in PNG so the trip is proving very worthwhile for us. Not seen any other boats since arriving.
Next year I am thinking of organising a small "Cruise in company" rally for people who are interested in getting involved with OceansWatch. PNG is a magical country and I would love to see more people enjoy it but it's not really suitable for the novice sailor!! Many areas are unsurveyed and most anchorages show as being ashore on the plotter!
Just had a couple of magical days in Garove and now en route to Madang.
Best wishes,
Chris Bone

Part VI: Refuge opens with Chapter 12/Hospitality in Lacor, and after Jane and her traveling companions reach Gulu, they visit Dr. Carlo Marciano who invites them to stay with him. He tells them about coming to Gulu in 1956 with his wife, Medka, and starting the hospital which sometimes serves as a refugee camp. Ten years ago, Medka was infected with AIDS during an operation and hid her illness so she could continue practicing medicine until she died five years later.
After their host goes to bed, Jane follows Harry to the garden, and when he laments their fights and admits that he prefers to be alone since he is lonely either way, she is overwhelmed with the desire to keep him close. In bed, Jane thinks of Harry and the St. Mary's girls, coming to the conclusion that the world is messed...
