A Problem So Simple That It Took Decades To Solve
Last week's article was the last in a series discussing the problems of floating-point input and output conversion, leading up to a seemingly simple question: What is the ideal default precision for floating-point output? This question does not arise for floating-point input because we know the precision of both the input that the user provided and the variable in which the input is to be put. With output, however, we know only the variable's precision; we do not know how many decimal digits should represent that variable.
We have already established that idempotence is important. That is, when we convert a floating-point value to decimal with enough precision, and we read that converted value in again, we should get exactly the same bits. It is even easy for us to figure out how many digits will preserve the number's value exactly, namely the same number of digits after the decimal point as the number of bits that the original number had after its binary point. But here is where the easy part of the problem ends.
We saw last week that on a typical computer, converting
0.1 to double-precision floating-point and then back to decimal yields exactly
0.09999999999999997779553950749686919152736663818359375. It is hard to understand why it is useful to print all of those digits.
In many C and C++ implementations, the default output precision is six significant digits. On such an implementation, printing
0.1 yields
0.1, which is both convenient and idempotent — in this case. However, printing
(1.0/3.0) yields
0.333333, which most definitely destroys idempotence. As I mentioned last week, Jerome Coonen proved that it is always possible to preserve idempotence by printing enough digits to keep the difference between what is printed and the exact value of the number within 0.47 times the least significant bit — but it is not always easy to figure out exactly how many digits that would be.
In early 1971, Jon White started analyzing this problem. This analysis began a 20-year odyssey, which he and Guy Steele described in detail in a fascinating, albeit complicated, paper. Although the paper itself is complicated, and the path to its results is even more so, the paper's conclusion seems so simple as to be flagrantly obvious:
Convert floating-point numbers to decimal with the fewest digits needed to preserve idempotence.
This strategy has several wonderful properties.
First, if you print the value of a short literal, you will get that same literal as output. For example, on such an implementation,
std::cout << 0.1 << std::endl;
will print
0.1. We know this because the literal
0.1 gets converted to a particular floating-point value, and therefore printing that value as
0.1 guarantees idempotence. More generally, printing any floating-point literal will yield exactly the same value unless that literal has so much precision that it is not the only one to yield that particular floating-point number. For example, if we were to print the literal
0.10000000000000000000000001, we could reasonably expect that this literal would be converted on input to the same floating-point value as would result from reading
0.1, so we should not be surprised to see that value converted to
0.1 on output.
Second, when a printed value appears with many digits, we can be confident that all of those digits are needed to characterize that particular value — they're not just amplified noise. Of course, we do not know how meaningful the value itself is — garbage in, garbage out — but we know that removing even a single digit from that output value would change the corresponding floating-point value to something else.
Finally, idempotence itself is a useful property, because it means that we can store floating-point values in human-readable form without worrying that doing so might erode those values.
In short, through a laborious process, we have come up with two simple rules for floating-point input and output conversions:
Convert decimal numbers to floating-point by yielding the decimal value as an exact number and rounding it to the required floating-point precision. Convert floating-point numbers to decimal by producing as few digits as possible while preserving idempotence.
Moreover, reasonably efficient implementations exist that follow these two rules. Therefore, it would seem that by now every C and C++ implementation should follow these rules.
Next week, we'll start exploring the social processes that explain why this hasn't happened yet.

Swimming Pools Get Greener
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2008 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 07, 2008
Technology innovations proven to reduce energy consumption and environmental impacts in other industries are now gaining acceptance in the U.S. pool-building industry. Variable-frequency drive technology, widely adopted in other industries that demand hydraulic efficiency, from dairy farms to water treatment plants, is now being adapted into variable-drive and variable-speed pool pumps. Other equipment, such as electrolytic chlorine systems are experiencing brisk sales. Pool owners today can reduce their energy usage dramatically and save hundreds of dollars per year by implementing easy and affordable retrofit projects (see "Efficiency Options and Opportunities"). With today's rising energy costs and new state regulations for energy efficiency, everyone involved in the pool industry is wishing to create and environmentally friendly products. Pumping Out Energy Savings A Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) study, conducted by Davis Energy Group and submitted to the California Energy Commission as part of its 2006 Appliance Standards Rulemaking docket determined that the average residential pool pump consumes 2,600 kWh annually. With an estimated 1.5 million private residential in-ground pools in California, it takes the output of six medium-sized power plants just to operate the state's pools. The PG&E study concluded that pool ...

Quanta 3.3 BE 2 Released
The Quanta team has just released the first Bleeding Edge technology preview of Quanta from the new kdewebdev module. This includes KMDI, CSS enhancements, a new link checker, imagemap editor and a new embedded PHP debugging interface (be sure to get Gubed and the howto for setting up Gubed if you want to try it out). There's too much new to list in a small space but you can run Quanta BE and Quanta side by side with separate configuration files and there is crash recovery. So there is no risk in trying it. Check out the screenshots, get the full story on all the new features and grab a copy. If you like what we've done remember that Quanta sponsors two developers now so your donations really do make a difference.
Does anyone else find self defeating that the Quanta website is so ugly? I'm sure that Quanta is a great editor and all but wouldn't it be a good idea to use Quanta.sf.net as a showcase for what beautiful website it can be used to create?
Maybe it's just me.

By Andras Mantia at Thu, 2004/05/06 - 5:00am
Re: Quanta.sf.net
As they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for saying it's ugly. I used KDE icons and I personally think the trendy white on black sites that I have to press my face to the monitor or highlight the text to read it are hideous. I had to choose between running a business so I could eat and sponsor Andras and Michal, working on Quanta or building a web site. I don't like sourceforge either so that's even more work. Seeing as how I already have to do almost everything for my business (including building kittyhooch.com which is now at over 7,900 lines of PHP) and Quanta absorbs so much time I got an experienced open source project manager who has also lead commercial projects, a team of developers and a professional graphic artist together to work on developing kdewebdev.org.
In the final analysis though anyone with a fraction of a clue knows you can create a fantastic site with a console editor and utter crap with $50,000 worth of the best software. (look at the source on a webshpere generated page some time) So the rational way evaluate a tool is still to download it and evaluate it. Somehow this reminds me of the comment on Slashdot about Kommander where someone saw a screenshot of a dialog I created for my use and assumed that was Kommander and it had a poor interface design. I've seen people say the web site is the best argument against Quanta. There's no rational connection in the real world and you can't persuade those who are irrational by addressing their issues. I agree though that an exemplary web site would be a good thing and we're working on it but it takes months to do on the scale we want to.
For the longest time as the saying goes... "Nobody didn't do nuthin". So we put Somebody on it and now we're making progress.

Hi Eric. We all are really thankful for your great support for Quanta. But the website makes someone who never used the program wonder in what league Quanta is playing quality-wise. It is small stuff like the header (http://quanta.sourceforge.net/images/sechdr.png) and typos like the following on the screenshot-page (http://quanta.sourceforge.net/main2.php?snapfile=snap04):

That's why I had an announcement on the dot that we are developing a new site. No matter how many time I say it people will miss it until it goes on line. The process for what my actual vision for doing a site right takes months, and even with others doing it it still takes even more of my precious time. People feel I should do something, probably because I haven't quite done enough. ;-) You can help.

I don't remember how long ago I did that. I guess it doesn't look spectacular and I could do better but it's still subjective. Everyone who has offered to help has offered to do the whole thing. Why is it so hard for people to grasp that I'm going to be stuck maintaining it or finding someone to maintain it?

No, or not yet. The reasons are:
I'm sure it would help us and simplify the code, but well, somebody has to do it (and that somebody needs time to do it).

Re: KConfigXT
KConfigXT is present in KDE 3.2, I already ported a small app to KConfigXT running KDE 3.2.2.
Porting is easy, first writing a XML file and after converting the function calls. Maybe you could do this with some substitution commands.

Re: KConfigXT
What exactly is KConfigXT? Is it something like Gconf on steroids?
By Janne at Fri, 2004/05/07 - 5:00am
Re: KConfigXT
GConf is to KConfig as ? is to KConfigXT :)
KConfigXT does a number of things. Mostly it boils down to 2 things:
1) Settings and default values are stored in 1 xml file, not all over in code, in ui files, in config files, etc etc
2) Configure dilalogs don't really need to be coded anymore. Toss together some ui files, give it a pointer to your kconfigxt and wham it does the rest. Takes care of loading, disabling, saving, etc. This amounts to major major savings both in time wasted coding, debuging and in user interface as every config dialog that uses kconfigxt behaves the same.
Check out the tutorials or some apps in cvs (KTron in kdegames is a excellent small simple application that uses it)

The only problem I have is, I belive, because I'm using Mandrake cooker: the toolbars exept main simply don't save option to have only icons, it's always with text under icons, so I've edited the main toolbar to have all items I need and made others empty :)

If cooker is using CVS, which I believe it is, then there are bound to be some problems in this area. in fact we just had to work though a change that temporarily made toolbars unable to be customized.

OT with Wil Wheaton
You may remember a story posted here about finding out that Wil Wheaton (Stand By Me, Star Trek the Next Generation, Dancing Barefoot) is a big Quanta fan and then meeting him. Well we just got mentioned again on his blog at WilWheaton.net. It seems his cat Felix has kidney problems. When we saw Wil the second time we gave him some Kitty Hooch toys for Felix. I guess Felix loved them so he mentioned he ordered more in his blog.
BTW our new order system is up taking credit cards again and we have new products on line. Much appreciation to Wil for mentioning us as it has sent business our way.

KFileReplace only in Quanta?
Folks, I can only admire what you are doing, but let me ask you something: Is KFileReplace a thing that could be integrated into Kate too? I am not trolling, it is not a problem for me to do the things I want in Quanta and then return to Kate (converting the code of a Slovak document management system written in plpgsql (see also: PostgreSQL) into English), but you know, what effects lazyness has on mankind... Thanks for reading this far.
By Zoltan Bartko at Fri, 2004/05/07 - 5:00am
Re: KFileReplace only in Quanta?
AFAIK KFileReplace is a standalone app, so you can just use that. Missing would be the ability to open files in kate automatically (a guess, I use perl to change things in files on disk ;).
Using it as an external tool, you'd be warned if anyting had changed in open files inside kate, with the option to reload those.
If KFileReplace is implemented as a KPart, it would be fairly simple to write a kate plugin, which could then be shared by quanta if i understand things correctly.
In my opinion, the ability to replace over multiple files in kate is more important than integration with this tool, but if you write a plugin it will be wellcome in kdeaddons, and I'll as allways be willing to help on the #kate irc channel at the freenode irc network.
By Anders at Fri, 2004/05/07 - 5:00am
Re: KFileReplace only in Quanta?
KFileReplace is already a KPart and can be used also from Konqueror. ;-)
By Andras Mantia at Fri, 2004/05/07 - 5:00am
Re: KFileReplace only in Quanta?
The original KFileReplace was written as a stand alone application and was maintained through KDE 3. Our version has been updated to a KPart, which is how we use it as a plugin in Quanta. Quanta can easily embed KParts as plugins by using the plugin editor on the settings menu. This version of Quanta also uses Kate plugins. (Settings>Configure Editor::Plugins) So if you can write a plugin for Kate that's great... but it seems to me you can access everything now from within Quanta 3.3 BE 2.
Along with this take a look at Settings>Configure Actions and note that you can interact with the editor content using any scripting language. Actions can be triggered from a toolbar, key combination or template insertion. They can take input from the entire content, selected text or none and outputs to editor content, selected text or cursor. You can also build dialogs with Kommander. Now Kommander is capable of saving the value of any widget as well as having it's widgets manipulated by DCOP. Open kdcop and look at Quanta and a Kommander dialog (kmdr-executor-[pid]). Kommander can get the caling dcopid as well as it's own and you can write DCOP scripting within the dialog and even initialize widgets with population text. You can lift elements out of the editor, create lists, whatever you can imagine. Kommander and Quanta give you a virtually extensible environment where you can write your next upgrade in bash, perl, python, ruby or even PHP if you have 4.3 CLI installed. If you like you can even use all of them. ;-)
We're planning a new release in a month that has data access, a simplified interface, a small collection of special funtions with a function wizard, DCOP simplification mapping and tutorials and demos. Kommander enables users to convert a number of universal applications into a single personal application. Our objective is to make it newbie friendly yet extremely productive by focusing on conceptual flow instead of the constraints of language. People inherently have difficulty putting concepts into lannguage so it's about time someone advanced a conceptual paradigm.
You can get on our new Kommander list to ask questions and get help at http://mail.kdewebdev.org/mailman/listinfo

Re: KFileReplace only in Quanta?
Anyone who wants to write a plugin for kate using kfilereplace is wellcome.
I'm not really seeing myself installing quanta right now, since i have more than enough to do and I wont use it for anything but a shiny thing to look at.
Personally, I still believe that we should merge kate, kdevelop, quanta and kile into one very simple (KMDI) shell with a unified plugin interface and a profile system, allowing you to define a custom application. I really find this hunting good features/implementations from the sibling applications silly.

Re: KFileReplace only in Quanta?
> Anyone who wants to write a plugin for kate using kfilereplace is wellcome.
Sure. We didn't do anything really special we just made the part and incorporated some DCOP so it's pretty standard.
> Same goes for kommander.
Kommander doesn't currently create KParts, though that could change. It uses the Qt Designer base to make a KDE application. The editor builds dialogs, which are essentially *.ui files renamed to *.kmdr and containing KDE widgets that inherit Kommander's ability to bind text to widgets. The executor runs the dialogs. There is also a side project to make stand along dialog applications.
> I'm not really seeing myself installing quanta right now, since i have more than enough to do and I wont use it for anything but a shiny thing to look at.
Whatever. We actually had someone working on a Document Type Editing Package for Povray.
> Personally, I still believe that we should merge kate, kdevelop, quanta and kile into one very simple (KMDI) shell with a unified plugin interface and a profile system, allowing you to define a custom application. I really find this hunting good features/implementations from the sibling applications silly.
Up till now I had the impression you had some technical savvy but that is now difficult to sustain. Kate is integrated into Quanta effectively and the editor part is used by Kdevelop too. I'm not sure about Kile but I think so. I think that was an application I emailed the developer and offered to work together and got no response, but they seem to have done a good job with it. We looked into trying to merge the Kdevelop framework because I really like it. We're working on being able to share plugins. We're doing what we can there but there is one limiting factor... It's a helluva lotta work!
While I try to go to great lengths to make users happy there are some times where I have to tell the user that it's a lot easier for them to download and build these applications that it is for us to put in thousands of man hours. Not only that you said "simple" and I find this so incredibly bizzare I should probably just avoid answering it. No matter how brilliant you are there is a limitation in how much you can defeat the inverse relationships of focus to diversity and features to simplicity. Then there is the matter of who decides what and the inevitable loss of both focus on and competitive ideas that exemplifies the Microsoft monoculture.
Frankly going too far in merging things together makes it hard not to end up with a steaming pile of crap that everybody walks away from. Having said that I will conversely say this about my little part of the world. Quanta can directly load Kparts from the user interface without writing anything. Quanta will probably be able to load Kdevelop plugins soon and it already does load Kate plugins. Quanta *is* KMDI in this release and Andras is now one of the maintainers. All of this seems of nominal use if you're not going to bother to load it.
Given the disturbing rate of the escalation of complexity in Quanta we are looking at a system to enable "personalities" to be enabled for projects and users. This will allow task driven interface customization. Given the nature of our user model I don't think it's rational to attempt to constrain it to other applications user models. Also Quanta is the kdewebdev module now with 5 additional appliations a 6th pending and a 7th in review. Quanta is already merging with applications and already has a high degree of reuse. We already are striving for interperability. We are NOT going to abandon our focus on web developers by throwing Quanta in a pile and stopping all work on everything but making it work again for six months though.

Re: KFileReplace only in Quanta?
> Personally, I still believe that we should merge kate, kdevelop, quanta and
The idea is good (in theory), but unfortunately it's hard to do (IMO). I can mostly talk about Quanta's POV. It's true that we modularized a lot in the recent time, but still it is quite monolithic and I don't see it easy to break down in pieces. We can do it step by step, and supporting each other's plugins is a good start. Or better: having a common plugin system is the good start.
By Andras Mantia at Sat, 2004/05/08 - 5:00am
I like Quanta a lot and use it fairly often. I'm looking to do a couple sites from scratch (not just maintain a couple as I have been doing). The thing that bugs me a bit about Quanta is there are no templates (ala Frontpage...) to really choose from for a foundation for a new site (or a new face for an old one).
As it stands now, if I find a site I like on the web, I DL the css, and a page or two for templates after striping out content and force feeding that to Quanta. Is there really a bonus to using Quanta over kdevelop (for project management features), or just simply using Kate?
I hate to come off like I'm flaming since I, by no means, intend it to be a flame, I just think there's a large need to increase the ease of use for noobier folks to be able to slap together a (standards compliant! :-) ) site as easily as they can with Frontpage.

Quanta has a template system, just that we need contributors who create site templates, code snippets, etc. With the help of the TemplateMagic script, it's even possible to use customizable templates, like asking for some input from the user and replace parts of the template with the user input.
>Is there really a bonus to using Quanta over kdevelop (for project
By Andras Mantia at Fri, 2004/05/07 - 5:00am
Re: Templates?
We introduced templates in the end of 2002 and made several big appeals for people to make templates. We have had several people say they would. You're incorrect about there not being templates. Dave Reddish contributed some very nice ones that were included in the BE 2 release. Most of them are in kdewebdev/quanta/data/templates/pages/html/xhtml/. Get them at
The problem with templates being loaded up is as follows...
It's easy with FlunkPage if you're just going to shovel crap in there that looks cute when rendered, but when you have all the DTDs and preprocessing language options it becomes a much tougher question to do it right.
Fundementally our templates break down to global, user and project scopes. Can you honestly say global should be loaded down? If so please offer some because free software is *community* driven, "community" of course meaning us and Dave Reddish so we can tell him to get on it. ;-)
Inherently though the real problem is deciding between a deluge or spartan global templates. Spartan was easy since we decided we would be better occupied coding. One of the features that we will be working with in our next release is the ability to use Global resource repositories for toolbars, actions, templates and scripts. We plan to integrate access into Quanta. This means you will be able to be on line and select from the menu to search Quanta's repository for a particular resource, say DHTML page templates or CSS layouts. You will be able to find what you want and download it directly to your template directory in the appropriate scope. Likewise if you develop a template and the guilt of not contributing jack becomes heavy you can select to submit to the repository. There it will be received and vetted by an admin whose job it is to make sure that no harmful, useless or overly redundant resources make it into the library.
All of these ideas together add up to what I feel is the best way to resolve this intelligently. As to why Quanta is better than other tools for this Andras gave an answer, but I'm not going to bother. Our users confirm our experience in technology, usability and web development have created a tool that rocks and that many feel is better than Dreamweaver. FrontPage is neither a credible tool nor a market leader. Quanta is designed exactly for getting the most done with the least time and effort. It has features you need to use to see the value of and in the use you realize it can't be beat.
As far as comparing us to FrontPage, I don't consider that a flame. You're talking about a tool for dead languages that incorporates proprietary extentions. You're also talking about a ruthless multi billion dollar company convicted of criminal violations of the anti trust act. All that is by the way, but the key point is that MS FrontPage is a CONSUMER product that you plop down your cash for. Not that I feel that we shouldn't strive for a product that meets or exceeds expectations, but this comparison is looking at Quanta from a "consumer entitlement" position. This is community software freely given. That doesn't mean that we should say "we've given enough and we don't care". It does mean that when you say "this product is deficient here" where that deficiency can be addressed by someone with your skill set that I can say "Well this is what we've done, why don't you help us with that part?" It certainly looks like we have a common interest here.
I'm very idealogically attached to Free Software. I know that most people won't do much, but when someone can but they want somebody else to do it anyway that is annoying. I put in at least 20-30 hours a week and have invested thousands of dollars in this project. As a matter of principle I'd like a few people to put in 10 hours or so and change this. Is that too much to ask? When we put out a call for help and a year and a half later ONE PERSON has stepped forward and done something with it. I have to be honest. That's dissapointing.
The inevitable fact is we made Quanta user extensible because we don't have the manpower to do everything. If we can't come up with a way to involve more people in the community in the way we all rah rah that Linux and open source is an invincible jauggernaught then we will have to decide where to limit our ambitions. User and comminity involvement is in our plan, but if everyone is to thoroughly entrenched in a consumer mind set then we will not be anywhere near as good as we could be. World domination takes time though. The real solution happens when the on line resources are launched. It will finally be so easy that people will be able to participate with almost no effort. I belive that is when we will begin to shine here. Until then perhaps you could help?

Getting the embedded PHP debugging working
I downloaded gubed and read the HowTo. All was fine until the line:
By the way I love the app and have used it for several college projects and personal sites, keep up the good work.

Re: Getting the embedded PHP debugging working
Project->Project Properties->Debugger: select Debug. Now a Debug menu and a Debug toolbar should appear. If it doesn't appear: DTD->Change DTD->OK (causes toolbar reload).

To actually comment on some of the new features...
Wow, the PHP debugger combined with Quanta is absolutely brilliant. That's something I wasn't expecting to be able to use outside of when I did C++, but damn... Beautiful. Just beautiful. My endless thanks for another brilliant addition to an already brilliant product.
/me goes to play with the debugger some more now...

Animals that have dry scaly skin and are ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates are called reptiles. The major way reptiles differ from mammals and birds is that they are ectothermic (cold-blooded). This does not mean that they necessarily have cold blood but rather that they cannot regulate their own body temperature through any means other than modifying their behavior. To heat up they use an external heat source within their environment such as basking in the sun or sitting on a hot rock (most mammals would shiver). To cool down they choose a cooler area to rest (most mammals would sweat). Due to this they are generally found through out the warmer regions of the world although a few have adapted to quite cold areas (even where it snows)! Most reptiles though are found in the tropics. The majority of reptile groups also live on land, although there are a few that have specialized to live in water. Reptiles can only breathe air and do not possess gills. They have thick waterproof skins to retain their body moisture.
Most reptiles lay eggs (oviparous), however there are a few species that incubate and hatch their eggs internally (ovoviviparous). Reptile eggs contain a large quantity of yolk to nourish the embryo, and they have a porous shell. Most reptiles are carnivorous.

Because the number of influenza cases has significantly increased throughout the region, children age 12 and under may not visit patients effective Wednesday, January 8. This applies to all Wake Forest Baptist inpatient locations and will remain in effect until the number of flu cases decreases significantly.Learn More.
Toxic shock syndrome can happen to anyone — men, women, and children. Although it can be serious, it's a very rare illness. If you're concerned about toxic shock syndrome, the smartest thing you can do is to read and learn about it, then take some precautions.
If you're a girl who's had her period, you may have heard frightening stories about toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a serious illness originally linked to the use of tampons. That's because the earliest cases of the illness, back in the late 1970s, were related to super-absorbent tampons. Research led to better tampons and better habits for using them — such as changing tampons more often. The number of TSS cases dropped dramatically. Today about half of all TSS cases are linked to menstruation.
But TSS isn't strictly related to tampons. The contraceptive sponge and the diaphragm, two types of birth control methods, have been linked to TSS. It also can happen if bacteria enter skin that's broken from a cut or other wound, surgery, or a scald or burn; after giving birth; during a chickenpox infection; and from prolonged use of nasal packing for nosebleeds — although all of these are rare.
TSS is a systemic illness, which means that it affects the whole body. It's caused by two types of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (often called staph) and Streptococcus pyogenes (often called strep), with most cases related to staph bacteria. These bacteria can produce toxins. In some people whose bodies can't fight these toxins, the immune system reacts. This reaction causes the symptoms associated with TSS.
Symptoms of TSS occur suddenly. Because it's an illness that is caused by a toxin, many of the body's organ systems are affected.
The signs and symptoms of TSS include:
The average time before symptoms appear for TSS is 2 to 3 days after an infection with Staphylococcus or Streptococcus, although this can vary depending on the infection.
Your risk of getting TSS is already low. But you can lower it even more by following these common-sense precautions:
TSS is a medical emergency. If you think you or someone you know may have TSS, call a doctor right away. Depending on the symptoms, a doctor may see you in the office or refer you to a hospital emergency department for immediate evaluation and testing.
If doctors suspect TSS, they will probably start intravenous (IV) fluids and antibiotics as soon as possible. They may take a sample from the suspected site of the infection, such as the skin, nose, or vagina, to check it for TSS. They also may take a blood sample. Other blood tests can help show how various organs (like the kidneys) are working and check for other diseases that might be causing the symptoms.
Medical staff will remove tampons, contraceptive devices, or wound packing; clean any wounds; and, if there is a pocket of infection (called an abscess), a doctor may need to drain pus from the area.
People with TSS usually need to stay in the hospital, often in the intensive care unit (ICU), for several days so doctors can monitor their blood pressure and breathing and watch for signs of other problems, such as organ damage.
TSS is a very rare illness. Although it can be fatal, if recognized and treated promptly it is usually curable.

Steroids are so popular, that even the general fitness and nutritional principles have changed significantly with the use of steroids. If you ask yourself how do steroids work on the body to increase the muscle mass, then the answer is the following: anabolic steroids...
Bodybuilding represents the practice and use of progressive resistance exercises to build musculature. In other words, it is the practice of developing strength and promoting physical culture. While many people consider competitive bodybuilding as an obscure way of life, for the people who practice it, bodybuilding has become a lifestyle.
Anabolic steroids are performance enhancing drugs that are used to increase the muscle mass and strength and improve the physical performance. Steroids come in various forms and carry different traits. Considering this fact steroids should be administered following a certain cycle.
Steroids sachets are little packages that contain anabolic steroid. In other words, it is a new form of packing the steroid. Generally the sachets contain from 2ml to 5 ml of steroid, which is very handy and can be used as a single dose for many steroids.
One of the most common issues when it comes to the use of steroids is: where do I buy them? The concern of buying steroids is well justified considering the fact that in some countries the purchase of anabolic steroid is very strict; for example in United States these drugs are included in the controlled substances list,

User:Benmachine/Non-strict semantics
An expression language is said to have non-strict semantics if expressions can have a value even if some of their subexpressions do not. Haskell is one of the few modern languages to have non-strict semantics by default: nearly every other language has strict semantics, in which if any subexpression fails to have a value, the whole expression fails with it.
Any sufficiently capable programming language is non-total, which is to say you can write expressions that do not produce a value: common examples are an exception thrown, an infinite loop, or unproductive recursion, e.g. the following definition in Haskell:
noreturn :: Integer -> Integer
noreturn x = negate (noreturn x)
or the following Python function:
def noreturn(x): while True: x = -x return x # not reached
both fail to produce a value when executed. We say that noreturn x is undefined, and write noreturn x = ⊥.
In Python the following expression to check if 2 is in some list:
2 in [2,4,noreturn(5)]
also fails to have a value, because in order to construct the list, the interpreter tries to work out noreturn(5), which of course doesn't return a value. This is called innermost-first evaluation: in order to call a function with some arguments, you first have to calculate what all the arguments are, starting from the innermost function call and working outwards. The result is that Python is strict, in the sense that calling any function with an undefined argument produces an undefined value, i.e. f(⊥) = ⊥. If your language uses innermost-first evaluation, it correspondingly must have strict semantics.
In Haskell, an analogous expression:
elem 2 [2, 4, noreturn 5]
in fact has the value True. The program does not have to compute noreturn 5 because it is irrelevant to the overall value of the computation: only the values that are necessary to the result need be computed. This is called outermost-first evaluation because you first look at the outermost function call, elem, to see if it needs to use its arguments, and only if it does do you look at what those arguments are. This means that you can write a function that doesn't look at its argument, so it will return a value even if the argument is ⊥. Such functions are not strict, i.e. they satisfy f(⊥) ≠ ⊥. Practically, this means that Haskell functions need not completely compute their arguments before using them, which is why e.g. take 3 [1..] can produce [1,2,3] even though it is given a conceptually infinite list.
Note that outermost-first evaluation is not the only way to have non-strict semantics: a speculative evaluation strategy, that evaluates arguments in parallel with the function in case they are needed later, could also be non-strict, as long as whenever the speculative evaluation failed, the evaluation of the function continued.
Note also that in order for a function to be truly non-strict, it must return something without inspecting its argument at all. You might think that doesn't sound like a very useful function, but remember that it might be e.g. a partial application: the function (||) True, or equivalently \x -> True || x does not need to inspect its argument, since True || x is always True. There are other examples, too: constructors like Just wrap their argument without inspecting it, and some other functions apply constructors before looking at the argument, and hence still produce a partial result, e.g. inits ⊥ = [] : ⊥
The important thing to understand about non-strict semantics is that it is not a performance feature. Non-strict semantics allows your language to only evaluate the things it needs to, but if you write your programs carefully, you'll only compute what is absolutely necessary anyway, so the extra time your program spends working out what should and shouldn't be evaluated is time wasted. For this reason, a very well-optimised strict program will frequently outperform even the fastest non-strict program.
However, the real and major advantage that non-strictness gives you over strict languages is you get to write cleaner and more composable code. In particular, you can separate production and consumption of data: don't know how many prime numbers you're going to need? Just make `primes` a list of all prime numbers, and then which ones actually get generated depends on how you use them in the rest of your code. By contrast, writing code in a strict language that constructs a data structure in response to demand usually will require first-class functions and/or a lot of manual hoop-jumping to make it all behave itself.
Consider the following Haskell function definition:
any :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Bool
any p = or . map p
Because or uses non-strictness to stop at the first True in the input, map doesn't even need to know that only the first half of the list might be needed. We can write map in the completely straightforward and obviously correct way, and still have it interact well with or in this way; map produces data, or consumes it, and the two are properly decoupled.
In a strict langauge, you'd have to write the recursion out manually:
any p [] = False
any p (x:xs)
| p x = True
| otherwise = any p xs
since in strict languages only builtin control structures can decide whether some bit of code gets executed or not, ordinary functions like or can't.
It's this additional power that Haskell has that leads people to say you can define your own control structures as normal Haskell functions, which allows all sorts of interesting patterns to be abstracted in an incredibly lightweight fashion. Labelled for-loops are a library in Haskell, rather than requiring special syntax and language support.
How do I stop it?
As mentioned above, non-strictness can hurt performance, e.g. if a result is definitely going to be needed later, you might as well evaluate it now, to avoid having to hold on to all the data that goes into it. Fortunately, the Haskell designers were aware of these problems and introduced a loophole or two so that we could force our programs to be strict when necessary: see Performance/Strictness and seq.

Lake County Health Department Building
Nominated in 2009 for local landmark designation; status unknown
In Lake County in the early 1900s doctor W. H. Watterson contracted the disease and discovered that there were no facilities in the region to treat it. After his cure, Watterson organized the Lake County Tuberculosis Institute. By 1909, a sanitorium was located on 16 acres on Grand Avenue, east of Green Bay Road in Waukegan. "Lake Breeze Sanitorium? cared for 66 patients. Residents lived in cottages or tents and paid a monthly fee for housing and food.
This treatment of fresh air and a good diet was not always effective. By 1939, the death rate from tuberculosis in Lake County was still 38 persons per year. It was determined that a better facility was needed. The voters of Lake County, Illinois voted to erect a tuberculosis sanatorium for the county with tax revenue to be collected over a period of 10 years starting in the summer of 1939. Dr. Charles K. Petter of the staff of the Glen Lake Sanatorium, Oak Terrace, Minnesota, was appointed as medical director. Petter assumed his position in early 1939 and reportedly supervised the construction of the sanatorium. The site chosen was a 22-acre parcel on Belvidere Road in Waukegan, adjacent to today?s Belvidere Park.
The architects were William A. Ganster (1908-1988) and William L. Pereira (1909-1985), who spent months studying the treatment of patients with tuberculosis so as to improve the design of their building. As a result, the Lake County Tuberculosis Sanatorium was perfectly designed for ultimate functionality. Its southern orientation allowed for maximum sunlight exposure to enter the rooms and patients had access to balconies and terraces for fresh air. The northern end of the facility contained the administrative and medical portion of the complex.
The Lake County Tuberculosis Sanatorium was considered small in contrast with other institutions around the nation. The facility contained only 92 beds instead of the 200 to 300 that were found elsewhere. The size of the building, along with the orientation of the in-patient rooms, administrative offices, and out-patient rooms, allowed for all three areas to share a single set of stairs and elevator. Two separate buildings--the Doctors' Residence and the Nurses' Residence--were constructed on the grounds in a similar architectural style.
After the 1943 discovery of streptomycin, an antibiotic and the first cure for tuberculosis, most sanatoria closed and were demolished. The Lake County Tuberculosis Sanatorium eventually became obsolete and in 1974 was converted into a facility for the Lake County Health Department.
The main building is a two-story (with basement), reinforced concrete structure with a rectangular footprint. The building was oriented with southern exposures for all of the patient rooms, which accomodated 90 beds. The building's original exterior was defined by steel frame windows with frosted glass transoms and transparent fixed and ventilated panels. The installation was conceived to modulate light and natural air for patient comfort. Each room was also provided with its own terrace, and allowed patient beds to be rolled outdoors. The complex's north wing includes the original main entrance, administrative offices, and the original out-patients' clinic. Two adjoining smaller structures housed the nurses (the building to the east) and the doctor (the building to the west).
The exteriors of all three sanatorium buildings are chjaracterized by flat roofs, absence of ornamentation, and a strong horizontal composition reinforced by ribbon-like windows and railings of the patients' quarters. The linear arrangement of the buildings was optimized for southern exposure and views of the site's spacious wooded and grassy slope.
The building's innovative design was recognized through publication in The Architectural Forum (1940) and the Museum of Modern Art's exhibition "Built in USA since 1932" (1944) as curated by Elizabeth Mock.
Beginning in the 1880s, tuberculosis patients were treated in sanatoria or specialized hospitals. Such practice lessened exposure to the contagion, while promoting healthy diet and ample fresh air, which at the time were the extent of successful treatment. As such, the Sanatorium is significant for its functional design, with a dominant southern orientation to allow maximum sunlight exposure to enter the rooms. Patients had easy access to fresh air with accessibility to balconies and terraces.

One moment, the top-10 Tigers were locked in a tight game, up 3-0 on the Wolfpack early in the second quarter. The next, Clemson trailed 27-3 at the half and on the way to their second loss in three games.
"It was like, bam!" Swinney remembered this week.
The 11th-ranked Tigers (9-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) finish league play against North Carolina State (6-4, 3-3) on Saturday and will try to rebound from the 37-13 loss that was part of a late swoon.
Clemson was one of college football's biggest surprises in 2011 after starting 8-0. But the Tigers dropped three of their final four regular-season games, including the stunning loss at Carter-Finley Stadium. It was a defeat that hasn't set well with the team in the time since.
"As an offense, we were pretty much embarrassed," Tigers quarterback Tajh Boyd. "It should be a fun game."
Unless Clemson's high-speed attack stalls out against the Wolfpack as it did a year ago. Boyd threw two interceptions and the Tigers fumbled twice, one each by Boyd and ex-Clemson tailback Mike Bellamy. The result was a 27-point second quarter for North Carolina State, the team's best output in six years.
Wolfpack coach Tom O'Brien knows what his team accomplished last season doesn't matter much, especially with the Tigers offense out-performing their record-setting showing from a year ago.
"They've got playmakers at every spot on offense, a really tough challenge for the defense to defend," O'Brien said.
Boyd leads the ACC in passing yards and total offense. Clemson receiver DeAndre Hopkins is second in the country with 14 touchdown catches. Tailback Andre Ellington is third in league rushing. And last year's freshman star Sammy Watkins is finally getting untracked after a slow first half of the season.
"It's definitely a huge game," North Carolina State cornerback Dontae Johnson said. "We're just ready for the challenge."
The Wolfpack could also be finding their stride. They became bowl eligible last week with a 37-6 victory over Wake Forest. Earlier this year, North Carolina State knocked No. 10 Florida State from the national championship chase with a 17-16 victory. That win was the latest in amazing stretch where the team has won seven of its last 11 games against opponents.
Toppling Clemson would be the Wolfpack's second win over a top-15 team, something they'd only pulled off in a season twice before. The setting, though, could have plenty to do with the outcome.
The Tigers set a school record last week in a 45-10 victory over Maryland with their 12th straight victory at Death Valley. The Wolfpack have had their struggles at Memorial Stadium, losing seven of the past eight played there.
Clemson's players have a chance at a share of their third ACC Atlantic Division title in four seasons. The Tigers are tied for the division lead with Florida State and would need an unlikely Seminoles' loss at Maryland on Saturday — coupled with beating North Carolina State — to claim the Atlantic's spot in the league title game next month.
Defeating the Wolfpack would also mean Clemson's first 10-win regular season since 1981 when it won the national championship at 12-0.
"To be able to be a division champion three out of four years is a big step," Swinney said. "To be able to have back-to-back 10-win seasons in another big step. That's something we have talked a lot about."
The Wolfpack, as they have the past two years, will rely on the arm of quarterback Mike Glennon. The senior threw for 253 yards and three touchdowns in the upset of Clemson and is just a three yards behind Boyd for the ACC lead in passing yards.
The Tigers defense has picked things up the past month. Clemson's defenders were giving up 27 points a game the first six weeks and just 15 a game the last four. Glennon, though, could be the most talented and capable quarterback the Tigers have faced all season, Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables said.
"They've definitely earned our respect," Venables said. "And we're going to have to play better than we have all year."

Hot Degrees 2020 (from Alabe.com)
Note: as of 2020-01-26, we are no longer updating this blog.
We are a bit deeper into 2018. Maybe some time soon, I will start producing specific posts again. What I will likely focus upon will be lunations (full moon and new moon) and maybe planetary stations (especially Mercury retrograde and direct stations).
For GrandTrines and related blogs to continue, effective ways to monetize the work will be necessary. Besides needing compensation for my time, my "disk quota" is full on WordPress. This leaves me wondering how to proceed next. Do I delete the images on older blog entries? (I have already done some of that.) Do I delete old posts altogether? Or do I "go" professional and switch to a hosted solution that is monetized by advertising or donations or both that has enough money coming in to pay for a hosting solution? I am not sure of the answers, and moving forward looks difficult.
Maybe the time is at hand to only have minimal posting or possibly abandon the project altogether.
The lunation times for 2018 (Full or New Moon, based in Plano TX and Central Time) are at the end of this post. Here is a chart of the January 31st FM.
I will likely produce and deploy a series of calendars for MysticRectangles. These would definitely include my "MarsOut" monthly calendars for 2018 and might include "SunOut" weekly calendars at some later point.
But, beyond these possibilities, I can offer no promises at this time.
More Spinoffs
We started a few new blogs, spinoffs, in April (of 2017), and they might interest you:
- (The) Irregular Oracle
(A repository of our forecasts and whatever else strikes our fancy.)
- Retrogrades Only (Just what it says: all posts focus on retrogrades; many reblogs!)
- Full Moons Only (Just what it says: all posts focus on Full Moons; many reblogs!)
- New Moons Only (Just what it says: all posts focus on Full Moons; many reblogs!)
Getting the bugs out of a new blog takes, at a minimum, a few days or a week, and possibly as much as a few months. While these specialty blogs are on hold for the moment, I hope to resurrect them "soon" (some time in 2018).
Mars Out High Order Outer Planet Aspects
This Week in Astrology
Conventional webmaster wisdom says you do not direct people to a site other than one of your own. That said, we go against that wisdom here by recommending you take a look at "This Week in Astrology."
Cafe Astrology also has an excellent 2018 ephemeris and a similar asteroid ephemeris.
Gilded Splinters has provided this Lunar Almanac for 2017-2018 which covers major lunations, Outer Planet Almanac, and Retrograde Almanac.

Lost Dudeist Astrology (and others)
Many people prefer our sibling site "Lost Dudeist Astrology," a spinoff from this one. On Grandtrines, we focus almost entirely on astrology, astrological forecasts, astrological analysis of current events and other astrology topics.
Most of our readers prefer that approach, but some want a wider diet. Lost Dudeist Astrology (the name is based on "The Dude" and "Dudeism") is almost entirely reblogs of astrology, numerology, tarot card based predictions, some pinups, and sometimes controversial (or "tinfoil hat," sometimes called "fake news") topics. Think of it as being a bit like a metaphysics website with a "National Enquirer" or "Star" feel to it. We also maintain the following sites:
- Mystic Rectangles: monthly (Marsout) aspectarians and low volume of posts; excellent for subscriptions; best fit for astrology for mobile devices.
- Weekly Forecasts is just what the name says: weekly forecasts posted once a week for the upcoming week with some reblogs of similar material from other bloggers. [As of 2017-01-01: Our own work is on hold indefinitely, but we plan to continue reblogs of weekly and monthly forecasts of others.]
You may also be interested in the reblogs of content by other astrologers on the posts page. We are working on a project on Long Term Forecasts. Frankly, we do not expect to complete this project in our lifetime. Your feedback, as we go, is appreciated.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. Psychic Reading
Comment by David Psy— June 1, 2015 #
CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE put the GMT times up for things – you have an international audience !
I have just tried to convert EST to GMT for mercury going V OC and got 3 03am whereas my raphael's says Moon is sextile Mercury @ 02 03 am ie an hour earlier ………..
Plus as ppl differ , what do YOU consider V OC to mean ? – only the traditional ptolemaic aspects or do you count the newbies eg quintiles ….?
I had not really thought of planets going VOC before : I like it
Comment by Caroline— December 8, 2015 #
I posted a reply here about VOC several hours ago and nothing has shown up
Comment by Caroline— December 8, 2015 #
do you check things now before they go up ? my comments re VOC haven't posted :
please let me know …Ta I don't know if its the hackers playing games
Comment by Caroline— December 8, 2015 #
your links are either giving me one sentence or error 404 not found …..and my posts dont seem to be posting one last try
personally I think its either my paedophile hackers or police hackers here in bristol or my ?paedophile police ? hackers ! hahahahaha
Comment by Caroline— December 8, 2015 #
ah ok …phew just technicalities plus you do sensibly vet things …"problems" explained thankyou xxx !
Comment by Caroline— December 8, 2015 #
ptolemaic – fine , that seems to be the preferred , and so what I use ……yes , I have come across ppl who count minor aspects …..they often have arguments about it …cant recall any names now. Having said that I have experienced the moon working when I didn't think it would , and been caught out by it and no I don't mean when in sag.
this working may = what you refer to above as interesting …..
sesquiquadrates are dangerous . IMO totally wrong they r usually referred to as minor in astrological circles
"raphael's astronomical ephemeris of the planets' places for [2015] "they are small and thin u can carry them around easily and leave the 50 year tomes @ home…
Also very useful for seeing what is coming up in progressions if u have one for the relevant year ..{day for year type}
Ps I just discovered brill astrologer Robert Blaschke and he's dead :its dreadful. All that wisdom gone Thank god for utube incidently if u want to leave a legacy u shd put stuff up on there too ….and u don't have to be seen , u can fill screen with charts or important points
Comment by Caroline— December 8, 2015 #
can u please give links to any utube videos , ta xxx happy solstice and yule ……mines been filled with polis sh-t
Comment by Caroline— December 29, 2015 #
can you suggest how mercury void of course plays out ……I'm assuming weakened.
ineffective to some extent.
ALSO , in that case does mercury also carry the light of the last planet / star passed …………??? …..cos its just passed conjunct Algol ..
IF we can say it also "carries the light " then perhaps ?? its just as well its V O C – assuming that weakens it ……
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol)— June 11, 2016 #
possible to give your view re orb for Algol ?
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol)— June 11, 2016 #
IS it possible to reorder these blog responses so the astrology stuff is at the top ? or in some way put the simple thanks /reblogged etc remarks elsewhere ? or a filter choice ? of some sort ?
just thinking
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol)— June 20, 2016 #
can you PLease have 2 comment sections then ? if you can restructure ? and sort the remarks as you vet them ?
nb I was doing a remark about astro and VOC and it all went so pissed off. IT mentioned my neighbour having a go @ me on 20th so maybe someone didn't like it … this is not a "clean" lapbook at mo'……
Briefly It was on the subject of can we consider THE SUN itself ever to be VOC.
Also , about starting seasonal ingresses with VOC.. ….. (If I can recall the detail I'll repost)
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol)— June 22, 2016 #
So if you think other planets apart from moon can be VOC ( query re sun answer still pending ) THen
do you think they can "carry the light " also ? that was the real gist of my query re Algol
( – which is a star not planet , so we are already deviating from original meaning , I think, as I think carrying the light referred to going moon over other planets , not stars )
IF they don't " carry the light " like the moon , then 2 or 3 degrees after Algol ie by c. 29 degrees taurus , everything is "safe"
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol)— June 22, 2016 #
ok. trying to find your homepage I put grand trines in google and went through 12 pages without pulling this up. I got grand trines @ twitter about page 9 , thru which I could find you , but that does not give the homepage but an article. As you don't have a "home page " listed as such , I give up.
on a reply of 20 june to my comment of 20 june , you say "that page " and it seems clear this is not your home page from your reply. SO I GIVE UP.
perhaps you can provide a link or a clear label so I can find it !!!!!
I will come back when less frustrated feeling !
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol)— June 22, 2016 #
so where is / or which is your " homepage" …???
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol )— July 4, 2016 #
You've done a lot of things which are improvements in the recent past , thank you. Its a lot easier to find your useful astro info and insights with the weekly horoscopes… ……But ,
– where can I put comments ask Q.s on them tho' , ??….
– one thing I miss are the maps , but with the reorganisation (s) maybe I am missing them. ……?
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol )— July 4, 2016 #
As I understand it , "carrying the light" is when the moon goes over a planet , it , as a mirror , picks up the "light" from that planet , which then "colours" the stuff the moon reflects and so the way the moon "works" ……
Therefore , if the moon has just recently been over pluto , eg , it will have a plutonic tinge to it when it does its next aspect or triggers something or is just sailing along …..so the moon is never entirely neutral , or just carrying the sun's light – as it obviously does all the time, it can carry different energies too
If it goes over venus this should give a benefic or more feel good emotional kick to people for a bit . Light being a synonym for energy
I am possibly extrapolating from the meaning in horary , ( which may not be legitimate to do) as a self taught astrologer
My query was in that case , can mercury eg be coloured temporarily in this way too ? IMO probably yes , but n/k
on this basis , if saturn had just passed over pluto , you could expect problems…..the structural energies in the background would have a doomladen feel…….not a good time to build things.
you could say this is "orbs " , but I mean more than that. saturn wd carry a tinge until the moon came along and cleaned it up
[ "Translation of the light" is a horary term and seems IMO very symbolic in its usage / meaning to denote that something happens or is completed with help , a thing is picked up from A and is then taken to B indicating the matter happens ]
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol )— July 4, 2016 #
thank you xxx I read things from all over ( in both time and specialist area )and so put stuff from different places together. As I am self taught I have no idea what is currently the "correct" thing to do / person to rate / concept considered valid / or " how" to put things together.
So I just use what makes sense and works , and read the intelligent people that make sense to me and I try new things out. Obviously I have experience eg of things happening with certain aspects etc. and so on , so I have my own opinions from that….IMO there has been a move to sanitise the subject to stop it being scary to the great detriment of good astrology. Older stuff is frequently more reliable due to dealing with reality as it does. Comets are indeed bad news….I think the reason chiron always comes with Pain is because its astronomically both a comet and an asteroid……
– while I'm not a bernadette brady I do feel its good to look at the actual astronomy to help decipher the symbolism.
I can't stand "fluffy"… too many ppl do fluffy astrology blogs which are all nice and lovey dovey everythings allright this fullmoon is good for selfdevelopment when really its a stinker and you wonder : why do they bother ? Its not morally sound to tell ppl they will "grow" with being hacked by a chainsaw either. Ppl need help to know how to survive. They need the truth and useful strategies not self-congratulatory whimsy.
BUT you know that. Which is why I've been reading your views on aspects etc and learning !
The moon is a key player as any decent astrologer knows : you could almost do nothing but moon stuff and produce meaningful comment . I like lunar returns eg.
ps please work on bringing back your maps ! They were lovely for showing how the same aspect plays out differently in different places in the world.
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol )— July 28, 2016 #
just to let u know : I can't "like" your replys unless – it seems – I join wordpress. This is the only reason I haven't been .
I bet if we did chart maps for the gun events we wd find pluto on an angle @ that point for all locations ……..
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol )— July 29, 2016 #
I really like your "new" OWN daily / weekly horoscopes . I wd like them on a completely separate blog with only your stuff on it ! They are interesting + useful and thanks for your effort and time xxxxx
Comment by Caroline ( Bristol )— July 29, 2016 #
we definitely jump timelines , but in my experience , they often "jump" us , and only some of us detect this. I notice.most don't .thru the little things that change…there are always changes as giveaways
I like this idea of aspects being nodal points but most ppl dont use them . at all
why predict if not to inform ones intent ?
I think we can also make choice points thru strong exercising of free will
this area of debate is fascinating obviously
there is also the way an astrologer by predicting can actually create the way things coalesce after an aspect ………in the beginning was the word – its powerful and we can manifest things I notice u r careful how u phrase things
Comment by Caroline— December 12, 2016 #
Thank you re above .
I looked at a couple of obvious charts and correctly pedicted brexit .. for trump's win I just used uranus pluto square -no charts – it was inevitable .
Now we have california trying to break away as a republic ?
How long an "aftermath" do you think this aspect will have / I guess this is another Q about Orbs ……?
Comment by Caroline (bristol )— December 22, 2016 #
PS I have a solar return 12th house sun – spent 60th birthday in hospital , now have serious health probs.
Q . How long does 12th hse return sun event go on , ( the sun in sky is now in 2nd hse ) . The situation built up in " Obvious" way for just over a month before actual birthday ie 5 weeks , improved as real sun went over solar return ASC , and again as real sun went over solar return 2nd cusp .
Not really "on thread" but I appreciate your experience !

Great post.

what has happened ??? are you well ? are you allright ? I sincerely hope so . I leave you alone for well over a year while I have serious health issues and come back to find no posts …. given my own reasons for absence I am concerned. Also its a big loss as I enjoyed your posts .
Perhaps you are having a fun life , instead of astro , and are happy instead – wd be a good reason !

Take a look at this article from the Canadian National Post. When I read the opening paragraphs I was like, "Man that guy gets a lot of action! I wish I got that much!"
It's funny how things seem when you read them as opposed to when you actually live through them. It's like when John Lennon started taking heat for his statement that The Beatles were bigger than Jesus. He said something like, "When I said Beatles I wasn't really thinking of us. I was thinking of those other Beatles, the ones that get in the papers all the time." I totally get that. It really does feel that way to me these days. I have no idea who this Brad Warner person people are getting all worked up about is. He sounds like a dick to me!
I wonder if I would even like "Brad Warner" if I wasn't Brad Warner. I think I'd probably be all aloof to him. Like I wouldn't even pay attention. That's how I was when Nirvana was big. These days I realize how great they were. I probably would have realized it even then if I'd bothered to listen. But they were so huge I just felt like they already had enough listeners. Besides, my bands had done that stuff five or ten years earlier and nobody had paid attention. Granted maybe we weren't doing it quite as well. But there were no innovations in Nirvana's music that I hadn't been associated with years before. I guess I mostly hated when people acted like Nirvana had invented everything.
Wow. That was a tangent!
Anyway, I'm not sure I'm anywhere near "the most visible Zen teacher in North America" as the article says. I'm not invisible, I guess. I'm still working on the serum for that.
I gotta run. I'll be at Casa del Popolo in Montreal tonight. Details are linked over there to your left. It should be a fun show. People drink beer there! I don't talk Zen to people drinking beer very often.
Oh! Fun facts you should know about Canada:
• The beer here is stronger than US beer. I'm not a drinker, but I'll have a beer every now and again (6 or 7 beers a year possibly). So I discovered this the hard way. I have an extremely low tolerance for alcohol and went over my very low limit (about 1 and a half in the US is enough to get me totally wasted) much faster than I expected. I'm going Straight Edge for the rest of the tour.
• The Sunday funnies are published in the Saturday paper! Weird!
I'll try to think of more fun Canada facts for next time.
And you Detroiters don't forget the Zero Defex gig May 1st. See the flyer to your left!

Mockhorn Island
September 13-14, 2009: The Chesapeake Semester has begun its maiden voyage. Moving in a clockwise direction around the Bay, students have started exploring the Chesapeake Bay watershed, analyzing landscapes, waterscapes, local history, and unique ecosystems as they begin to develop a sense of place. For the first leg of the journey, the group overnighted in Cape Charles to rise early following day to explore the geomorphology of nearby Mockhorn Island, one of the oldest Atlantic coastal islands, with archaeologist Darrin Lowery.
