Always come prepared to discuss both a strength and weakness. "What is your greatest weakness?" is often one of the most dreaded questions of an interview because, quite frankly, we all believe that we cannot really be honest in answering. To address this question, be brief and be comfortable with silence. You should certainly brainstorm examples of weaknesses (yes — there are some good weaknesses for interviews, especially when they're fairly honest and you can describe how you're improving).
In other words, whatever you say, don't say more than you have to, and remember that you don't have to literally share what you believe to be your greatest weakness. Typically this means choosing a single weakness and one that isn't very serious (e.g. "I can be a little too aggressive in setting goals" or "I can be very impatient when I'm working on a project I really believe in") and too central to the job description you're interested in.
First, consider what your work style really is. And then consider whether that style is suited for the job and company culture you're interested in. If you're an extreme extrovert but the job requires hours of independent, fairly isolated work, you will have a much harder time answering this question than someone whose work style does in fact match the job. This question is really getting at whether your personality is a fit for the role and the company so try to answer accordingly.
This question is a combination of a personality-fit and work-style question wrapped up in one. It's also an opportunity to showcase your interpersonal strengths if you have them and reflect on the way you add to the team in your current job. If you have a brief anecdote about how you were the leader in a time of crisis or pulled the team together during a stressful project, now is the time to tell it.
Be ready to have anecdotes about your experiences for these kinds of
Cheap Newest Ermenegildo Zegna Mens Couture TripleStitch Leather LowTop Sneakers White Professional Discount Fake Cheap Price Fake Outlet Great Deals nE2GJDoA
questions. They don't have to be about the most interesting days you've had at work; instead, think of situations that have highlighted the fact that you're mature and capable of working with a variety of people, even if you don't always see eye-to-eye.
If you think about this in advance, it's probably easy to come up with an honest answer. What would your boss say about you? And why? Think of an anecdote that will indicate why you're a pleasure to work with, are a team player and have the right skills for this position.
This is a common question when a hiring manager wants to assess whether you will be a good fit, culturally. Be as honest as possible when you respond to this, but make sure it's clear you're comfortable working collaboratively and on your own. Companies want to hire people who are fun and easy to work with -- but also those who can manage whatever they need to on their own.

Diagnosing Arthritis and Other Rheumatic DiseasesDiagnosing Arthritis And Other Rheumatic Diseases - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosing arthritis and other rheumatic diseases is often difficult, as many symptoms are similar among the different diseases. To make an accurate diagnosis, a physician may need to conduct the following:
Review the medical history
Perform a physical examination
Obtain laboratory tests, X-rays, and other imaging tests
What is involved in reviewing your medical history?
When reviewing your medical history, your physician may ask the following questions:
Where is the pain?
How long have you had the pain?
When does the pain occur and how long does it last?
When did you first notice the pain?
What were you doing when you first noticed the pain?
How intense is the pain?
What tends to relieve the pain?
Have you had any illnesses or injuries that may explain the pain?
Is there a family history of arthritis or other rheumatic diseases?
What medication(s) are you currently taking?
What is involved in laboratory testing?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, the following is a list of common laboratory tests for the diagnosis of arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH):
Antinuclear antibody (ANA) - measures blood levels of antibodies, which are often present in persons with rheumatic disease.
Arthrocentesis (Also called joint aspiration.) - obtaining a sample of synovial fluid in the joint for examination by inserting a thin, hollow needle into the joint and removing the fluid with a syringe.
Complement - measures the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood; low levels of complement in the blood are associated with lupus.
Complete blood count (CBC) - measures the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets present in a sample of blood; a low white blood count (leukopenia), low red blood count (anemia), or low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) are associated with certain rheumatic diseases or the medications to treat them.
Creatinine - a blood test to monitor for underlying kidney disease.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate) - a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube. Generally, the faster the blood cells fall, the more severe the inflammation.
Hematocrit (PCV, packed cell volume) - measures the number of red blood cells present in a sample of blood. Low levels of red blood cells (anemia) are common in people with inflammatory arthritis and rheumatic diseases.
Rheumatoid factor - detects whether rheumatoid factor is present in the blood (an antibody found in the blood of most, but not all, people who have rheumatoid arthritis, as well as other rheumatic diseases).
Urinalysis - laboratory examination of urine for various cells and chemicals, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, infection, or excessive protein; to indicate kidney disease associated with several rheumatic diseases.
White blood cell count (WBC) - measures the number of white blood cells in the blood; increased levels of white blood cells may indicate an infection, while decreased levels may indicate certain rheumatic diseases or reaction to medication.
C-reactive protein (CRP) - a protein that is elevated when inflammation is found in the body. Although ESR and CRP reflect similar degrees of inflammation, sometimes one will be elevated when the other is not. This test may be repeated to test your response to medication.
What imaging techniques may be used to diagnose arthritis and other rheumatic diseases?
Imaging techniques may give your physician a clearer picture of what is happening to your joint(s). Imaging techniques may include the following:
X-ray - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce both horizontal and vertical cross-sectional images (often called slices), of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Arthroscopy - a minimally-invasive diagnostic and treatment procedure used for conditions of a joint. This procedure uses a small, lighted, optic tube (arthroscope) which is inserted into the joint through a small incision in the joint. Images of the inside of the joint are projected onto a screen; used to evaluate any degenerative and/or arthritic changes in the joint; to detect bone diseases and tumors; to determine the cause of bone pain and inflammation.
Joint ultrasound - a diagnostic procedure used occasionally to find inflammation before x-rays show damage.
Bone densitometry (DEXA) - an imaging study to measure bone density, used primarily to detect osteoporosis.
How is pain measured?
Measurement of pain may help your physician find a diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment. You may be asked to describe your pain on a scale of one to 10 and/or using certain descriptive words.

While it's not uncommon to see new phones get price drops, especially through third party retailers like Amazon.com whose business is to undercut the carriers, it is a bit unusual to see a carrier lower the price too quickly. Such is the case with the HTC 8XT (review) and the Samsung ATIV S Neo.
The HTC 8XT, which was released on July 19th, initially sold for $99 on a two-year contract. Starting this past weekend, the price has dropped to free, though you still need to send in the $50 mail-in rebate. Likewise, the Samsung ATIV S Neo, which has only been available for 10 days (with a limited rollout), has also had a $100 haircut going from $149.99 to a more reasonable $49.99 (also after a mail-in rebate).
Carriers lowering prices to move inventory is a common practice, indeed the AT&T Lumia 920 has recently been lowered to $49.99 from its initial $99 offering. The difference there is the Lumia 920 has been available for nine months whereas the ATIV S Neo has had its price cut after just ten days. Such an early reduction in price could leave a few customers sore if they had bought it on day one (Sprint will credit you if you're within the 14 day purchase period, but you have to contact them first).
It's not clear if this is a temporary sale, meaning potential customers should act now, or if this is a permanent reduction in an attempt to make Sprint's new Windows Phone's more attractive to the public.
Sprint, who offers low-cost and affordable plans when compared to Verizon or AT&T, may have had these prices set to high for their new phones. By comparison, T-Mobile launched the Nokia Lumia 925 for $49.99. Offering the ATIV S Neo at that same price range seem more appropriate to keeping customers from switching.

DVB-T Reception Problems
|DVB-T Reception_problems
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Typical Symptoms
- 3 Transmitter Issues
- 4 Interference
- 5 Mythtv Software issues
- 6 Other issues
A number of mythtv users have experienced DVB-T reception problems. These can be particularly tricky to fully diagnose and this wiki is intended to discuss some of the major issues.
This article is unashamedly biased towards DVB-T off-air signals in the UK as it reflects the experiences of the original author but other contributors are invited to improve it and make it more generic.
Typical Symptoms
Picture pixellation, odd sounds, failure to tune in at all and intermittent recordings can all be symptoms. There will be no single 'fix all' solution and an understanding of the transmission network in your area, your locality, your installation and of Mythtv itself will be necessary to resolve the problems.
Transmitter Issues
Which is your local transmitter?
How far away? Is it the only one? What sort of signal could you expect? All questions probably best answered by a postcode to signal predictor site. In the UK, try http://www.ukfree.tv/transmittersmenu.php which has coverage maps and path profiles. The same site will also document engineering work. A glance at neighbours' aerials might also give an insight into the sort of installation needed.
Do you have a clear view of the transmitter or are there any local conditions which could degrade the signal? Is there a body of water, hills, buildings or aircraft in the area which could obstruct or cause signal reflections and degradation of the signal? Any of these may need very careful placement of aerials to compensate for these issues.
Is the aerial suitable for the signal you hope to capture? Do you need high gain or is your signal very strong? Is a wideband model necessary or can a single band one with higher gain be used? Where is it located? Which polarisation? Generally horizontal for main transmitters, vertical for relays. Is it similar to your neighbours' equipment?
Some aerial suppliers have very informative web sites - a uk favourite is http://www.wrightsaerials.co.uk/ which combines humour with information.
How do you get the signal from the aerial to your receiver(s)? Do you have good quality cable with well made connections? Do you have outside cabling subject to UV degradation and water ingress?
Signal quality
Your tuner card(s) may not be as capable as your TV at handling either weak or very strong signals.
Some users have experienced a very strong signal which overloads their receiver. This has been reported following a transmitter change which boosted the power, and in another following a software upgrade which improved reception with improved drivers. The solution in both cases was to fit an attenuator or simply a splitter.
Weak signal
This can occur due to deterioration of the installation (eg storm damage or water ingress) or to an inadequate installation in the first place. Signal quality (signal to noise ratio) is more significant than signal strength. Solutions may include a better installation, or inclusion of amplifiers close to the aerial. Some tuner cards have a low noise amplifier (LNA) which can be switched on by a software change, but some of these (eg Hauppauge T500) require the system to be cold booted (ie power down, switch off at power socket for about 20 seconds, then reboot) for the change to be adopted.
There are many potential sources of interference such as HAM radio, taxi services and transmitting devices in the house such as moble phones, all of which are likely to start and stop. Interference from other TV transmitters, Tetra, existing phone services and the forthcoming G4 services are more likely to be continuous.
The emergency services communications system operates at 390 ~ 400MHz. Note that in the UK the lowest TV channel is 21 at 471MHz and superheterodyne receivers are sensitive to interference 72MHz away so filtering may be needed. See http://www.wrightsaerials.co.uk/articles/tetra.shtml
The regulator in the UK (Ofcom) has indicated that with the roll-out of G4 mobile phone services in the 800MHz region a million viewers in the UK may need aerial filters and that 10,000 will need alternatives such as satellite or cable. Channels 52 to 60 are most likely to be affected. For a general release see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17125468
To locate nearby transmitters see: http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/search
In 2013 a number of transmitters will have multiplex frequencies changed to make space for G4 and will require retuning of receivers. See: http://www.ukfree.tv/fullstory.php?storyid=1107052059
Careful selection and placement of receiving aerials and possible use of filters may resolve the problems.
Mythtv Software issues
The backend log may provide a clue to a problem and will be one of the first pieces of information requested in a forum posting. Messages logged at the start of a recording, the time of failure or the scheduled end time may be relevant and yield clues via a search engine. The standard location for the log is /var/lib/mythtv/mythbackend.log.
Tuning strength meter
Seems to have been lost from Mythtv. Can anyone enlighten?
Quick Tuning
Some subscribers say that turning on quick tuning has improved Mythtv ability to receive signals. [Why?]
Loss of a whole multiplex
Some have experienced the total loss of a whole multiplex following a change of transmitter line-up during channel re-allocation. The change will typically have been preceded by warnings about the need for a channel re-scan.
The cause might be that new frequencies are used which are incompatible with the aerial setup (eg you now need a wideband rather than a 'group' aerial), the transmitted power having been boosted and needing attenuation (or less amplification) before the receiver, or simply that a fault has occurred at the same time such as water ingress in cabling.
In other cases, it may be due to a software limitation. This problem was noted as far back as June 2009. See http://www.mythtvtalk.com/uk-digital-switch-over-my-experience-11622/#post49900
The same problem could be invoked by a house move from one transmitter footprint to another.
The great puzzle is that your TV will pick up all channels after a rescan and software other than Mythtv on the same hardware will work fine. A fresh installation of Mythtv will also work. A 'mature' installation of Mythtv though will fail to recognise a whole multiplex. This might be a cultural blessing if it merely eliminates shopping channels, but will be a real disaster if it zaps prime channels such as all the main BBC channels.
Why does this happen?
The following is a hypothesis based on interpretation of the symptoms. There are two sorts of information needed to be extracted during a channel scan to allow a receiver to work:
a) Modulation parameters associated with the multiplex such as QAM, bandwidth and guard interval which are necessary to extract the data stream from the signal. Possibly these need to be set in the receiver card/chip as part of the tuning process.
b) Parameters such as channel names and numbers which are extracted from the stream.
During the first ever channel scan the multiplexes and their modulation parameters will be 'discovered' and the Mythtv database populated with them. On subsequent scans, Mythtv will rely on data in the database rather than learning it afresh. It will thus have wrong parameters and fail to unravel the data stream should your broadcaster have changed them. This will result in failure to tune the multiplex and loss of a whole raft of programs. For program to multiplex mapping in the UK see: http://www.ukfree.tv/allchannelsmuxes.php
It is possible that this problem also affects other technologies such as DVB-S, DVB-T2 or cable.
Code fix
The change of parameters at a transmitter is a rare event and moving house is an expensive one. Like solar eclipses, neither of these is easily repeatable and so testing of this condition and a definitive solution ("now it fails; now it works") must be very difficult for a developer. However, this might fix it: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/a32d5e31ad2833c6e55f3161732faa7fe2f00cfc/mythtv
Backend setup fix
Deleting all channels, all video sources and all capture cards in backend setup, then recreate them before re-scanning will fix the problem. It may help to note all settings first (camera?).
SQL fix
No doubt there is an sql solution to clearing multiplexes and their tuning parameters from the database. If you have the necessary skills do please provide one!
Other issues
This list of issues is by no means exhaustive. Please feel free to add to this wiki and improve or correct it.

The terrorist attack on America: an astrological perspective
by Liz Greeneabout Liz Greene
The astrological portrait of an event always presents us with many layers of meaning and implies a situation more complex than is apparent on the surface. The terrible terrorist attack on America on 11th September 2001 is no exception. Since that day, numerous articles have appeared on the internet offering an astrological interpretation of what has happened, and many of these can aid in our understanding. No amount of interpretation of planetary symbols will mitigate the grief and outrage felt by so many people, nor will it affect the decisions made by governments which do not avail themselves of astrological insights. However, astrological insights can sometimes help the individual to find a more balanced perspective. It seems to me that, in the present astrological climate, [1] a balanced perspective is badly needed in the wake of such a terrifying and terrible event.
1. The chart of the event
WTC Explosion
Like many charts for the inception of war, the chart set for the collision of the first hijacked aircraft with the World Trade Centre building contains a deceptively benign aspect. There is a powerful and apparently harmonious configuration between the planets Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.[2] It is not my intention to discuss the horary or predictive implications of this chart - other astrologers who specialise in these perspectives have already done this elsewhere - but rather, the deeper picture it portrays of the collective psyche at the moment of the attack. Like the similar benign configuration in the inception chart for World War Two,[3] this set-up of planets is telling us something we may not wish to recognise: it is easy for such events to occur when the collective psyche floats in a state of complacency and unawareness. Such planetary configurations are aspects of ease and reflect gifts and innate aptitudes in an individual's chart, but they can also connote a naive assumption that all is well in the world. It is the 'difficult' or 'inharmonious' aspects[4] which force us to become conscious and work at containing our conflicts and developing our potentials. This chart contains a striking juxtaposition of both types of aspect - a grand trine and a T-cross. It is characteristic, when this occurs in an individual's chart, for the trines to dominate initially, and the hard aspects to register through a crisis of some kind which forces the person to face painful realities they would prefer to avoid. This planetary alignment is in the astrological element of air - concerned with ideas, ideals, and concepts - and perhaps reflects the dangerously self-satisfied idealism with which we in the Western world began the week of 9th September. The dominance of political correctness over human reality, and the belief that it can solve the world's problems, may be one of many things which has just come to an abrupt end.
Other aspects in this chart are aggressive and potentially very destructive. Treated with consciousness in an individual's chart, they can be productive of extremely positive results. When they appear as the signature of the climate of the moment, they can be explosive.[5] The aspects of 11th September portray this event as being rooted in ideological conflicts, the underlying drumbeat being the fanaticism and intolerance which have yearly been on the increase in every nation of the world.[6] The focus of the tension is the sphere of the horoscope concerned with ancestral ghosts, inheritance from the past, traditionally the house of 'secret enemies'.[7] From a psychological perspective, this area of the birth chart is concerned with patterns in the collective unconscious which stretch back over many generations. In short, this explosive configuration of hard aspects describes the fruition of issues of anger, aggression, scapegoating, and fanaticism which have their roots in a much longer past.
I do not believe it is possible to take the chart for an event, or the transits over a national chart, and foretell what will 'happen' in concrete terms. Sometimes a transit picture over a national chart is highly suggestive when linked with knowledge of political affairs, as was the case with the Soviet Union in 1989.[8] But the configurations here are not that obvious. Threatening and disturbing, yes; clear and simple, no. Many people are now proudly declaring, with hindsight, how easy it is to read the events of 11 September in this chart, and in the transits across the chart of the USA, discussed below. This is a facile pronouncement. So are the various prognostications of the End of the World, which have been around for as long as the world has. Claiming to have such foreknowledge may give a feeling of personal power and importance, but it might be more constructive - and truthful - to admit not only our ignorance but also our need to look objectively at many different levels and perspectives to try to make sense of the catastrophe which has just occurred and steer our way to a future which is constructive rather than destructive. If we believe there is any possibility of free will and any capacity to work on difficult configurations to generate creative rather than destructive results, we must accept the fact that the terrorist attack on America was not 'fated'.
It is also pointless to declare how it could have been avoided if so-and-so had done or not done such-and-such. There are too many 'if only's being thrown about, and perhaps also too many smug declarations of blame in every direction, including self-blame. This is not helpful and is rather like telling someone with cancer that it's their 'fault' because they didn't sort out their psychological problems or ate the wrong food ten years before. We need to look at the meaning of these events first, and then look forward to how we can turn a great evil into an opportunity for bettering things. Of course America has a psychological 'shadow'. So does every other nation in the world. At some point it may be appropriate to explore the nature of that shadow. But just as no amount of self-analysis can protect an individual from the unexpected, no amount of self-analysis can protect a nation from the unexpected either. Those who assume that terrorist acts are the inevitable 'result' of a nation's failings are, in effect, attributing logic, fairness, and justice to people who abandoned logic, justice, and fairness long ago.
Whether in an individual's, a nation's, or an event's chart, the contrast between a benign configuration reflecting lofty and noble humanitarian ideals, and a stressful configuration reflecting elements of scapegoating, aggression, obsessive fanaticism, and potential violence born of impotent rage is striking.[9] Benign configurations in a birth chart often hide a multitude of sins. Psychologically, we tend to hide behind our gifts and aptitudes to avoid the pain of dealing with our limitations and conflicts. It could be said that the collective - globally, and not just in America - was in precisely this state of hopeful denial of reality on the morning of 11th September.
2. The 'Sibley' chart for the United States
Juxtaposing this chart with the birth chart of the USA - in other words, examining the transits - gives a clear picture of what this event means to the country. The chart of the event is the chart of the collective psyche at the moment, but as a transit chart, it tells us how the qualities of the moment affect America. These transits are very disturbing - although it should be remembered that the most important of them[10] has been around for some time and is not exclusive to 11th September. Conflict with 'others' is synchronous with a deep internal transformation, and transformations of this nature are usually extremely unpleasant, even devastating, to begin with, although in the long term they are immensely creative. The quality of America's Sagittarius Ascendant - the 'personality' of the nation - has always been evident to the outside world in attractive and less attractive ways - the undaunted explorer's spirit, the boundless enthusiasm and faith in the future, the deeply religious bias, the material and emotional excess, the assumption of moral superiority, the courageous refusal to accept defeat, the unquenchable optimism.
States of America
All these qualities, pleasant and less pleasant, reflect a glorious naiveté in the best and worst senses - an innocence about what people are really capable of, a simultaneously tolerant and self-righteous attitude toward broader philosophical and spiritual issues, a desire to believe the best of everyone, and a firm conviction that all things, even the bad ones, can yield opportunities for growth. The transformation now occurring, reflected by transiting Pluto moving across this Sagittarius Ascendant, is a kind of Childhood's End, bringing with it the loss of innocence and the challenge of transforming Sagittarius' childlike intuitive vision of higher purpose into genuine wisdom and a more realistic vision of humanity. Pluto can take us to hell and back, and its process can involve loss, humiliation, depression, and a sense of colliding with fate or forces beyond our control. Pluto transits are humbling and may also be accompanied by feelings of impotence and great anxiety. The terrorist attack on 11th September is the major trigger for Plutonian transformation, but it represents only one of several ongoing issues which reflect a deeper process at work.
It should be remembered that planetary movements such as these have a long build-up period, and Pluto's first approach to the American Ascendant coincided with the scandal of President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. However silly and superficial this might have seemed to many, it raised deeper issues about morality and public responsibility. The present crisis is in a different league altogether - America is under attack, over five thousand innocent people have been killed and, unless action is taken, more tragedies may occur. But underneath, the moral questioning now demanded of all Americans is fuelled by the same Sagittarian quest to define the ultimate and absolute nature of right and wrong, truth and falsehood, good and evil. And because Pluto moving through Sagittarius reflects a process in all of us, every nation must now grapple with this same moral questioning. The time for hypocrisy is over.
It is natural, psychologically and also astrologically,[11] to seek to identify the culprits for the tragedy, and to feel victimised by those who are obsessively unbending in their ideology and intolerant of points of view other than their own.[12] Usually, when an important transit passes over this part of the birth chart, the 'other' really is out there. This is not just 'projection', as some rather silly people are claiming. There are real terrorist networks active around the world, dedicated to overthrowing Western institutions; they really do kill people; and they will happily do so again. The British have endured acts of terrorism and the murder of innocent people in their home cities by the IRA for over twenty-five years, and know what it feels like. But at the same time, the enemy 'other' is a catalyst as well as a perpetrator, and it may be necessary to recognise that a polarisation has been building up for a long time which needs to be better integrated. The events of 11th September coincide with the beginning of a long, ongoing transit of Saturn through the 7th house of the national chart. It is the aftermath, and the inevitable changes in collective thinking, which will highlight the real meaning and potentially creative outcome of the present disaster.
With any planetary opposition, it is extremely important not to polarise. Polarisation - 'us against them', and 'hunt the scapegoat' - is the easiest way to deal with oppositions, and sometimes inevitable at first. But it is not the most helpful way in the long run. Remaining as objective as possible, and holding back until reason can contain and direct impulse, can allow us to do what is necessary without indulging in the mob rule which smashes shop windows and lumps all individuals of a particular race or religion or nationality under the same umbrella. Those in America and Europe who are perpetrating acts of violence against innocent Muslim families living among them are no different from the terrorists who lump all Americans together as 'evil'.[13] Those who have been scapegoated - in this case, America herself - need to be able to respond without becoming scapegoaters. Psychologically, rage and feelings of vengefulness are a normal and necessary part of the grieving process, and we should not be ashamed of feeling them. The critical question is whether, and how, we act on them.
There are many other striking transits. One, involving the planet Mercury, concerns America's image in the eyes of the world, both positive and negative - as the 'moral judge', the defender of civilised society, the peacekeeper, the bastion of the 'high moral ground', the 'policeman' of the world.[14] This is an ambivalent image, sometimes immensely strong and just, sometimes oppressive and self-righteous. It is possible that this transit in America's chart could, hopefully, signal a new and more positive use of the nation's power as compassionate judge and wise leader.[15] The transit cycle of Mercury which began on 11th September is coming to completion on 23rd October, although I would not wish to hazard a guess as to the nature of the completion. It may be that those who are responsible are brought to justice. Or the cycle may be psychological, and reflect a firming and crystallising of moral, political, and legal structures resulting in measured, carefully thought out action.
The financial effects of the catastrophe are reflected in another transit, this time involving the planet Neptune. More important than the financial loss is the undermining of assumptions of safety and security.[16] There is also a statement being made here about resources and the ways in which these are used and shared. The regressive tendency is to isolationism and protectionism, while the progressive tendency is to pool resources and recognise the necessity of co-operation, both materially and psychologically. Neptune transits often accompany losses which must be accepted, and it is wiser, under Neptune, to let go and trust in the eventual resolution of things rather than fighting blindly to hang on to a sense of safety which has already slipped away.
Resources may be psychological as well as material, and the immediate effort by America to create greater co-operation with other nations is an extremely positive response to this Neptune transit which asks the nation to focus less on how many millions the WTC building cost, and more on how much we all need each other if we wish to exist peacefully with other nations and other peoples. Countries which have been ostracised or dismissed as unimportant may turn out to be friends; countries which have appeared to be friends may have to look again at their own covert destructive activities. The transit of Neptune highlights the theme of relationship with other countries, and in this sphere America's chart is not especially indicative of ease. There is a tendency to emphasise the material level of reality and a reluctance to look at the deeper levels of human motivation.[17] Co-dependency with other nations and a spirit of psychological if not economic equality may have been sometimes difficult to achieve.[18] It is perhaps worth remembering that, during World War Two, America reluctantly but decisively entered the war after the bombing of Pearl Harbour - itself a form of terrorist attack[19] - and despite the terrible losses, this involvement in a global effort helped to generate a world in which there has, at times, been greater recognition of the mutual dependency of all nations. This transit of Neptune, which has coincided with great grief and loss on many levels, may ultimately yield an enduring spirit of unity and co-operation.
3. The progressed chart of the USA
A progressed chart portrays the deeper meaning of the time, and is less descriptive of the kinds of outer experiences which are likely to impinge on the individual's or nation's life. This progressed chart presents us with a striking aspect which suggests greater honesty and more open dialogue between government and people, and the beginning of a new cycle of development involving increasing understanding of and sensitivity to the global entity of which the nation is a part.[20] It is an extremely positive and creative aspect. It is my experience that painful external events often occur when such a positive progressed aspect is building up - as though it is in some way necessary to clean out what is outworn and go through a kind of trial by fire in order to release the potential which is trying to be born. This progressed aspect, so different from the transits in America's chart, gives me hope for the outcome of current events because it implies a growing capacity for clarity, consciousness, and integration which could inaugurate a kind of rebirth. Although there are likely to be further trials to be undergone in the immediate future,[21] this progressed aspect is very promising in terms of how things will eventually unfold.USA progressed chart Positions for 11 September 2001
A transit of the planet Uranus in the progressed chart reveals quite a literal image of what has happened: a shocking and unexpected experience, arising from the sphere of 'others', awakens the fiery spirit of the nation and kicks it into life.[22] This transit could signal an awakening of a positive kind involving not only the attitudes of the public but also the nature of America's relations with the outside world. With all such aspects, everything depends on how people respond. In other words, every individual has a choice: polarise and conduct a campaign of hatred and protectionism, indulge in a morbid analysis of every real or imagined American mistake and failing, or remain objective, centred, and sympathetic to all people who are on the side of life - regardless of their nation, religion or race - and who are doing their best to contain the destructive elements which exist within all of us.
In the next weeks it is likely that aggression will be unleashed against those who perpetrated the terrorist attack, although hopefully this will be restrained and realistic rather than unbridled.[23] Equally, the transit which suggests this also describes the anger and outrage justifiably felt throughout the nation. At the end of December a new transit, involving the planetoid Chiron, will begin to highlight the American birth chart.[24] This transit goes on for a long time - all through 2002 and into 2003. It is not a transit of violence, but rather, one of grief, sadness, soul-searching, and also healing. It also describes a sense of vulnerability and recognition of national problems, wounds, and failings. Such soul-searching must come organically and naturally when the moment is right; it cannot be forced by those who want someone to blame and indulge in blaming their own nation because of the feelings of humiliation and impotence which major catastrophes always engender on a collective level. As an accompaniment the deeper process of transformation described by Pluto in the natal chart, it suggests a major re-evaluation of internal attitudes and a willingness to work at self-image and admit and attend to weaknesses and flaws which are human rather than 'bad' or 'evil'. The sphere of soul-searching may well be the real, rather than idealised, unfolding of the nation's history and its use of natural resources - the land, and the earth itself.[25]
4. The President's chart
Finally, it might be helpful to look at the birth chart and progressed chart of President Bush. As an elected leader, the responsibility ultimately lands on his shoulders to meet the present crisis with both firmness and sanity. The links between his birth chart and those of America's natal chart are striking and an interesting study in their own right, since transits over one chart will always coincide with transits over the other.[26] The present transit of Neptune in both charts may reflect not only Mr. Bush's encounter with an elusive, threatening Neptunian 'other', but also the challenge to his Leo Ascendant and his capacity to avail himself of its potential nobility and leadership qualities rather than its potential self-aggrandising tendencies. Another important transit to both his and America's charts is awakening him to the importance of the larger world community.[27] A further transit describes clearly the emotional shock and pain which is evident in the President's response.[28] And a forthcoming transit of the planet Jupiter in late September, which recurs next year, may bode well for both Mr. Bush and his country, particularly in opening up positive links with 'friends' and 'partners'.
President George W. Bush 6 July 1946, 7.27 am, New Haven, Connecticut
5. President Bush's progressed chart
Over the next six months, progressed aspects in the President's chart suggest a chance for Mr Bush to establish his credentials in the world as a firm but civilised world leader, fulfilling the necessity indicated in his birth chart to carve his own path rather than falling back on the inheritance of his father and the values and belief systems in which he was raised.[29] Whatever one's political views, this man is the man who is now in office and must deal with the present crisis. It is not especially helpful to vilify him at this time, as he has not yet had a chance to demonstrate fully how he intends to accomplish his goals in the midst of the nightmare. He (or those he works with) may surprise those who have dismissed him as incapable of handling the crisis.[30] In some spheres or situations he may be the 'wrong' president, but it is possible that in the current climate he may be precisely the 'right' one.
George Bush Progressed chart, set for 11 September 2001
There are many aspects, transiting, progressed, and natal, which I have not touched on in this article. I have tried to focus on the major aspects and what they might mean from a psychological perspective. Once again, I do not believe the terrorist attacks of 11th September could have been predicted. Also, I do not think there is any assurance they could have been avoided even if it had been possible to foresee them. As with experiences which occur in an individual's life, these dreadful events are the outer shape of a much deeper dilemma, which ultimately involves the reshaping of America's self-image and relations with other nations. It is a true life crisis of a Plutonian kind, and as with an individual, the opportunity is available to grow and flourish if old attitudes and perspectives can be relinquished and extremism and polarisation can be contained and neutralised by understanding. This is up to every single individual. It is pointless to go around shouting, 'It's the fault of the right/ left/ communists/ capitalists/ anarchists/ Muslims/ Jews/ Christians/ government policies/ immigrants/ extraterrestrials!' The terrorists themselves will, hopefully, receive their just due. But that is only one level of these transits. Change in any collective begins in the heart of each individual and in his or her way of dealing with a crisis. The spirit of compassion, mutual support, and unity which these terrible events have already generated in America is profoundly moving and ensures that Pluto's transformative propensities have already begun to reveal their deeper meaning.
The Saturn-Pluto opposition currently presiding in the heavens is a hard and painful aspect, and every person is experiencing it on one level or another - some in their intimate lives, some through their health, some through financial difficulties, some through being caught up in collective crises. This opposition pits two archetypal principles against each other - reason against chaos, civilisation against anarchy, entrenched structures against the inevitable need for change, rational control against the forces of the deeper unconscious psyche, human will against what we call 'fate'. Neither is 'right' or 'better' than the other. Balance and endurance are required, lest we polarise. The end product of the transit could be greater insight, more flexible and compassionate social and economic structures, greater realism, a diminishing of hypocrisy and an increase of self-honesty, and a true maturity and tolerance of spirit. And people can only pass through this painful initiation as individuals. That is ultimately the real message of astrology - not whether we can 'foretell the future' or 'spot the bad guy' and use our insights to bludgeon those we personally disapprove of for emotional or ideological reasons. Hatred, cruelty, and intolerance are great evils wherever they are found. Saturn-Pluto has a way of smoking them out and bringing them into full view. However, they exist in every human being and they exist in every nation. Fanatics, bullies, and terrorists of a subtler kind may also be alive and well in one's family, one's religious leaders, one's friends, and one's internet correspondents. Knowing this should not prevent us from acting as necessary to secure justice, or condemning those who perpetrate crimes. But perhaps it can help prevent us from indulging in precisely the same fanaticism and blindness that unleashed the tragic events of 11th September.
Liz Greene
Zürich, 15 September 2001
[1] This is a reference to the Saturn-Pluto opposition presiding in the heavens at the moment, which carries unpleasant connotations for astrologers due to its historical coincidence with outbreaks of war. The conjunction of these planets in 1914 accompanied the start of World War One; the conjunction of 1946 occurred right after the end of World War Two, when the real devastation of the Holocaust became known; and the opposition in the mid-1960s coincided with the Vietnam War.
[2] The actual configuration is: a grand trine in the element of air, involving Mercury in Libra exactly on the Ascendant, exactly trine Saturn in Gemini in the 9th house and also trine Uranus in Aquarius in the 5th house and Neptune in Aquarius in the 4th.
[3] The inception chart for the moment the Germans opened fire on Danzig, inaugurating World War Two, has a grand earth trine involving Uranus, Neptune, and Mars.
[4] I.e. squares, oppositions, semisquares and sesquiquadrates.
[5] The conjunction of Pluto and Chiron, although well past its exact point, is still operative. Saturn in Gemini is opposite Pluto in Sagittarius, the obvious 'culprit' (although perhaps not so obvious as it seems), and Moon at the end of Gemini is opposite Chiron and Mars in Sagittarius, all straddling the 3rd/9th house axis.
[6] This reflects the slow progress of Pluto through Sagittarius, the sign concerned with religious, moral, and philosophical issues.
[7] The Sun in Virgo, forming a T-cross with these Gemini and Sagittarius planets, as well as being placed exactly on the Pluto-Chiron midpoint, focuses the stress point of the oppositions firmly in the 12th house.
[8] Transiting Pluto moved over the natal Sun of the Soviet Union in 1989, suggesting a total transformation or definitive ending ('death') of this political entity in the form in which it had existed since its birth.
[9] Scapegoating is peculiarly linked to the Pluto-Chiron cycle, which occurs roughly every 60 years. Under the last Pluto-Chiron conjunction, the Germans began their wholesale murder of Jews in the 'death camps'. The present conjunction, while past its exact point, has encompassed not only the massacre of Kosavars by Serbs, but also the bombing of Belgrade and the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Britain resulting in a wholesale scapegoating of animals. Aggression is reflected by the opposition of Mars and the Moon; obsessive fanaticism is a characteristic of Saturn in Gemini opposition Pluto in Sagittarius; and impotent rage is reflected by the wide but nevertheless operative conjunction of Mars and Chiron.
[10] Saturn opposition Pluto. This opposition falls right across the American Ascendant-Descendant axis, with Pluto on the Sagittarius Ascendant and Saturn on the Gemini Descendant. The Ascendant in a national chart is concerned with self-image and identity,k while the Descendant is concerned with 'others' - in other words, other nations and other political entities.
[11] Transiting Saturn is on the cusp of the 7th house - the house of others and of 'open enemies'.
[12] Saturn in Gemini, the sign concerned with mental attitudes.
[13] Saturn-Pluto and Chiron-Pluto configurations are particularly good at this kind of group hatred and scapegoating.
[14] Transiting Mercury and transiting Ascendant fall exactly on America's natal Saturn in 14° Libra. This natal Saturn is in the 10th house, concerned with 'public image' and role in the world's eyes.
[15] Given the trine between Saturn and Mercury in the event chart, and also the trine from transiting Saturn to natal Saturn, this conjunction of transiting Mercury with America's 10th house Saturn - itself involved in trines with Uranus and Mars in Gemini in the 7th house - could bode well for the future. Mercury will be making its retrograde station in 29° Libra on 2nd October, and will station direct on 23rd October in 14° Libra - the same degree in which it was placed on 11th September, the degree of America's natal Saturn.
[16] Transiting Neptune in the chart for 11th September is exactly on America's lunar south Node in the 2nd house. The nodal axis in America's birth chart involves south Node in the 2nd and north Node in the 8th.
[17] Any transit involving the nodal axis concerns relationships. The south Node in the 2nd house inclines to an instinctive self-sufficiency and protectionism (and also the good fortune of natural wealth), while the north Node in the 8th suggests that effort must be made to recognize the need for co-operation and sharing of resources with others.
[18] Natal Mars in the 7th house.
[19] Transiting Pluto at this time was moving over the north Node in Leo in the 8th house.
[20] Progressed Sun is approaching a conjunction with natal Moon. The conjunction will be exact in about five months. It occurs in the 3rd house of the natal chart.
[21] Transiting Saturn still has to conjunct Mars in the 7th house; transiting Chiron is still within a couple of degrees of opposition to this Mars; and transiting Mars will be opposing all the natal Cancer planets over the next couple of weeks.
[22] Progressed charts should be drawn up as charts in their own right, complete with progressed angles and progressed house cusps. This reveals much more than simply placing progressed planets around the natal wheel. The progressed chart is also very sensitive to transits (especially the progressed angles). In America's progressed chart, the Descendant is at 21° Aquarius, and at the time of the terrorist attack, transiting Uranus is sitting right on this Descendant. In some ways this transit is more descriptive of what is really happening than the Saturn-Pluto opposition across the natal Ascendant. The Saturn-Pluto opposition is more a picture of how deeply split, threatened, and burdened the nation is feeling rather than of what has happened to it on the concrete level. Soon transiting Uranus will arrive at 27° Aquarius, in time to join the progressed Sun and natal Moon in the natal 3rd house and the progressed 7th house. Uranian energy is innate in America's chart through its Aquarian Moon (dispositor of the natal Sun in Cancer) and its angular natal Uranus, suggesting a positive response to the upcoming configuration.
[23] Transiting Mars moving through Capricorn will soon oppose America's natal Venus-Jupiter conjunction, and then the natal Sun.
[24] Chiron will enter Capricorn after its long sojourn in Sagittarius, and it will oppose the Cancer planets in the USA 7th house.
[25] Chiron is in the 4th house of the national birth chart, and understanding the meaning of any transit requires looking at where it is placed natally.
[26] For example, Neptune transiting over the American south Node also transits over the President's Descendant, and Jupiter transiting in 13° Cancer over his natal Sun in late September also transits over America's natal Sun.
[27] The Saturn-Pluto opposition lands on his natal Uranus in the 11th house.
[28] Transiting Uranus in 21° Aquarius at the progressed Descendant of America's chart opposes his natal Venus in 21° Leo.
[29] In the President's progressed chart, the progressed MC is exactly on the progressed lunar north Node, and the third phase of the Saturn-Pluto opposition in 2002 will fall within a degree of this progressed axis.
[30] Given the strong trines from transiting Uranus to the progressed stellium in Libra in the progressed 3rd house, Mr. Bush may find his voice at last, and focus his energy on what he deems to be his 'mission' to bring peace (Libra) to the world.

Following 12 years of fundraising, research and planning, the Colorado Freedom Memorial Foundation will break ground for construction of a one-of-a-kind tribute to the sacrifice made by Colorado's veterans on the battlefield.
AURORA, Colo. - Following 12 years of fundraising, research and planning, the Colorado Freedom Memorial Foundation will break ground for construction of a one-of-a-kind tribute to the sacrifice made by Colorado's veterans on the battlefield. Military and civilian dignitaries, as well as Gold Star Families and the general public, will gather to celebrate at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the memorial site, 756 Telluride St. in Aurora.
"The Colorado Freedom Memorial is a long overdue recognition of the debt we owe thousands of Colorado families for the sacrifice of their loved ones to keep us free," said Colorado Freedom Memorial Founder and President Rick Crandall. "We've spent 12 years trying to raise money for construction and researching the names that should be on the Memorial and at times it seemed like this day would never come. It's hard to describe the emotions we all feel right now."
The memorial contains the names of all Colorado veterans killed in action since statehood in 1876, so the Spanish-American War through today. Nearly 6000 names make up the honor roll that will be listed on the memorial's glass panels when it is dedicated on May 26, 2013. Because of the different ways of maintaining records over the years, researching names has been a monumental task.
For the ground-breaking, local Military Commanders and elected officials will be in attendance along with a color guard, singing of the national anthem and short comments. Dignitaries will move the first shovel of dirt followed by Gold Star families. Then the public will be invited to grab a shovel and dig a scoop of dirt.
"It is important to us that everyone feels like they've been a part of this journey, so we're inviting anyone in attendance to be part of the ceremony. We could not have reached this point without many people carrying us along the way!" said Crandall. The Memorial would also not have happened without the generous contributions of 2G Associates, Lockheed-Martin, The Monfort Family Foundation and an anonymous donor as well as hundreds of individuals and organizations who believed in the importance of honoring Colorado's fallen veterans.

Comcast Internet Plans Bristol VA
$109.99 a month your 2nd year
When you sign up for Xfinity High-Speed Internet Service in Bristol, Virginia, you're getting some of the nation's fastest Internet speeds, a fast and reliable in-home Wi-Fi network, and access to nearly one million Wi-Fi hotspots around the country. Best of all, you're getting all that for some incredibly affordable prices.
That's right – Xfinity Internet Plans in Bristol, VA starts at just $39.99 per month. For that price, you get blazing fast connection speeds and plenty of powerful features. Here are just 10 of the best reasons why you should buy Xfinity Internet Service.
Whatever your Internet needs, you can find an Xfinity Internet Plan with the right speed for you. Xfinity now offers Internet connection speeds at a variety of tiers, starting at just 6 Mbps and ranging all the way up to 350 Mbps.
If your household only uses the Internet for light streaming, surfing the web and downloading music, you're perfectly covered with speeds of less than 10 Mbps. However, for most people speeds of 25 to 55 Mbps are optimal. This speed ensures good streaming experiences, the ability to download shows and plenty of speed to download music and photos.
However, if you have multiple devices in your household for streaming, then you'll probably want to crank up your Xfinity Internet Service speeds to 100, 150 or 200 Mbps. These speeds are necessary if you anticipate multiple-device streaming, or if you are really into multiplayer gaming.
As you will quickly find out, it's possible to choose the best package for your household that matches your use profile. In fact, you will be blown away by how many options there are. The basic package is the Performance Starter Package, which gives you connectivity speeds of 6 Mbps, a very affordable price and an in-home Wi-Fi network.
From there, there are plenty more options. For example, you could pick the Performance 25 Package, which gives you 25 Mbps connection speeds and plenty of speed for video streaming and multiplayer gaming.
And, if you have a household with significant Internet usage, you might want to sign up for the Performance Package, which gives you super-fast connectivity speeds of 75 Mbps and plenty of speed for online gaming and streaming. And, guess what? If you are a serious, hard-core gamer, you can get the Blast! Internet Package, which offers speeds of 150 Mbps or higher.
Just be aware – these packages are constantly changing and adapting to the needs of consumers, and that means the speeds and pricing might be changing. For example, the Xfinity website is now promoting the arrival of Gig-level speeds.
That type of speed would completely blow competitors out of the water. If you think Blast is fast, you won't believe what happens when you go to Gig speeds.
When you order one of the Xfinity Internet Plans in Bristol, you also get the Xfinity Wireless Gateway, a combo router-modem that makes it possible to create a great in-home Wi-Fi network. This is key for so many reasons.
If you have a large household, it means everyone can get access to blazing-fast Xfinity speeds. For example, your kids might be playing videogames in one room, while you stream a movie in the other room.
And it doesn't matter how many devices are using the Wi-Fi network, either. That's because you have plenty of bandwidth. In short, you can stream, download or play videogames as much as you want. And, with Xfinity Internet in Bristol, Virginia, there are no monthly data caps or limits. So binge-watch all you want!
It's not just that you get reliably fast Wi-Fi speeds at home, you also get them when you step out of the home. That's because Xfinity has a nationwide network of more than 1 million hotspots. Maybe you're hanging out downtown one night.
Chances are, there's a Wi-Fi hotspot waiting for you to use at a local café or coffee shop. If you're in a major metropolitan area, there are even more options for Wi-Fi hotspots, including hotels and restaurants.
Thus, Xfinity is doing you a real favor. No more worries about going over on your mobile data plan. With Xfinity, once you're a customer, you're covered. So you can always stay connected on the go. Just look for a hotspot near you.
You might think that it's complex or confusing to set up your Internet service, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Xfinity router-modem is designed to work right out the box, meaning that you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how quickly you can get your Internet service up and running.
You can set up your Xfinity service in just three easy steps. The first step is the easiest – just select your deal. Based on what you know about your household's Internet activity, and your overall budget, it's possible to find the perfect option. Then, the second step is to confirm your installation information.
This, too, is easy and is managed with an eye on respecting your time. Often, you can have someone stop by and install within a convenient one-hour time window. And, finally, the third step is to experience the best in entertainment by using your new Xfinity High-Speed Internet Service!
You're never alone when you become an Xfinity customer. While other service providers may only be available during "regular business hours," you can always talk to a live person, 24/7 whenever you sign up for Xfinity Internet. These are highly-trained customer service reps, too.
Questions about how to get faster Internet speeds? Concerns about how to tap into the nationwide network of Wi-Fi hotspots? Answers to those questions are just a phone call away.
While it's easy to say that Xfinity Internet Service has 100% approval ratings and that every person who signs up for the service becomes a lifetime customer, this is the real world.
Maybe you decide that Xfinity Internet Service is not for you. Well, it's easy to get your money back. That's because Xfinity offers a 30-day money back guarantee. So what do you have to lose by trying Xfinity Internet Service?
Let's face it – the Internet can be a scary place sometimes. There are scammers, hackers and identity thieves at work every hour of the day and night. So you want to make sure your Internet-connected devices are protected with the very best security features.
With Xfinity Internet, you get the award-winning, top-rated Norton Security Suite from Symantec, a company at the forefront of Internet security. That means you're protected from phishing scams, spam e-mail and any other types of schemes and tricks that hackers devise.
You also get Constant Guard, an online protection system valued at $360. That should give you peace of mind that you're going to be safe on the Internet.
If your kids are going to be using the Internet, you want to make sure that they are visiting safe websites, and that they are doing things like their homework online, not chatting with strangers in some unmonitored chat room. With Xfinity parental controls, you can monitor web use, set device time limits, and get warnings of unsafe behavior.
Thus, say your kids are supposed to be working on their homework or studying for a major exam the next day. You can set hard limits on how long they can use the Internet (to make sure they go to bed on time!), and you can also make sure that they are only visiting safe sites online.
Xfinity is an offering from Comcast, one of the largest and most trusted companies in the nation. With Xfinity Internet Plans in Bristol, VA, then, you are getting the expertise of a market leader.
No more worrying about a company trying to work out all the details about live TV content before they head to market. You're going to be signing up for a service offered by a top company with a sterling reputation.
This is a company that always over-delivers. Compare Xfinity Internet to all the competition and you will realize it is the best in the business!
You might be surprised at how many new, innovative offerings you can get access to when you sign up for Xfinity. For example, one new offering for Xfinity customers is the X1 Entertainment Operating System, a revolutionary new way to watch TV that taps into the power of the Internet. X1 changes the way you watch TV in Bristol VA.
For example, if you watch a lot of sports on TV, you can get the X1 sports app, and that helps to turn your TV into an online dashboard. And when it comes to streaming content, Xfinity is always working on new options for customers, including those that enable live streaming when out of the home.
Perhaps the best reason to buy Xfinity Internet Service, though, is the one that's going to save you the most money. That's right, it's called the bundle.
The bundle is a way to combine all of your Xfinity services into a single package. You can combine Cable TV and High-Speed Internet and Digital Voice, and you can get some incredible deals on the total price. For example, the most popular Xfinity Broadband Service offering is $39.99 per month. When you bundle, that price can go down dramatically.
The more you bundle, the more you save. Here are some examples of the most popular bundles:
As you can see, there are so many different options to choose from! There's always one that's just perfect for how you use the Internet and how you watch TV! Keep your eyes out for special promotional offers for new or first-time customers – the price savings on these deals can be truly jaw-dropping.

I'm replacing the router here in the BlueTower today, as we've been getting very spotty wi-fi coverage in the living room downstairs. It may turn out we need a repeater somewhere in the middle, but the new unit should have better coverage, so maybe not. Since it seemed like time to get a dual-band router because there are so many devices on the network, and a couple of them can take full advantage of both bands, so this seemed like the logical first step.

My job is a full-time journalist, where I sit behind a desk and type up my stories occasionally taking breaks to interview sources.
For knowledge workers, work means sitting at a desk, drinking coffee and checking their mobile phone to see the latest status update on Facebook. It rarely involves physical labor. But that's set to change. Due to mobile phones and broadband availability, the future of work may look less like sitting behind a desk, and more like my ride to work this morning.
Technology Disrupting Transportation
I ordered a Lyft ride, a new service in San Francisco that connects people with cars who want to make extra money by driving customers like me who need a lift. The driver who came to pick me up is actually a music teacher by day. But he has three weeks off so he wanted to make extra money. Without having to pick up more skills, the driver is using resources he already had (his car) to make money. After paying insurance and gas, he told me he makes about $22 an hour, which works out to be about $100 per shift.
The private driver app Uber came first, and its entrance into the marketplace hasn't been without a struggle. Cities have been reacting strongly against mobile technology that threatens to disrupt the old school taxi system. However, the mobile disruption happening in transportation is an indicator of whats to come in other industries.
The End of The 9-to-5 Job
Besides connecting workers with customers, the mobile work force may soon change the face of the typical office. As unemployment rates continue to look dismal, work is beginning to move away from long-term commitments to more project-based or freelance work.
Erik Brynjolfsson thinks about the future of work a lot, as a result of the era of automation. Brynjolfsson, the director of the MIT Center for Digital Business, said "I think we'll see a lot more of this as transaction costs and search costs and [as] search costs fall with new technologies, the old jobs disappear."
By "old" job, he means the 9-to-5 job, where an employee goes in and has a pretty structured work day. In a NY Times article about fitness trainers, Brynjolfsson said the 9-to-5 secure job is becoming more scarce, and people will need to hustle to make a living.
Josh Elman, a Principal at Greylock, a venture capitalist firm, thinks work is becoming more project-based. Elman has worked on launches and management of products at Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin.
Elman said that when he was at LinkedIn, "we thought [work] was all networked-based. You would amass connections over your career and then leverage your network for new opportunities, important connections (sales, business development, and investment), advice, and expertise. What I see changing most now it that jobs and careers seem more project-based instead of company-based. The freelance economy is huge whether it's just companies such as Uber, Taskrabbit, Gigwalk or like oDesk, 99 Designs, or marketplaces like Behance or Contently get this to be higher and higher end."
The Internet has allowed for workers to be geographically independent.
Even at United Business Media, the publisher of Byte and my employer, many employees work from home or over 150 offices around the world. There are types of creative outfits such as PeoplePerHour that allow people to post jobs they are willing to do, or Fiverr is a service that lets people perform various tasks for $5.
Geographical Independence
However, the most popular telecommuting company oDesk, connects professionals with temporary work and has made work available to those who live many miles or time zones away from where the work is, allowing for a more distributed work force.
Gary Swart, CEO of oDesk, said "we are seeing quite the opposite of project based work. One type of work is project based and the other is position based. I think of it as companies are trying to hire mobile app developers, they want to hire them and keep working with them. The work is mostly paid by the hour. The workers get hired and fired based on results, and are paid by performance."
The hours worked on oDesk has grown eight-fold since 2009, Swart said, which is an indication that it is "position-based" hire that is in demand.
While the trend started with tech work, where there are early adopters, Swart said he is seeing growth in non-tech areas such as design, customer service, and virtual assistant. He's also seeing more growth globally as larger companies adopt a more temporary workforce.
By 2020, one in three people will work online as opposed to in an office. Swart said many companies are struggling to find talent in their local geography. They want the flexibility to get the skills when they get them. Despite the fact that unemployment is at an all-time high, Swart said oDesk is seeing a competitive job market.
"We have to compete against Google and Amazon, and worry about retention and engagement. Companies are looking for getting most value for people, by re-evaluating fixed cost with employees and real-estate costs," he added.
Companies are hiring on oDesk for web programming, data entry, SEO, Web research, Web design, personal assistant, customer service, mobile apps, graphic design, and blog and article writing. The skills most in demand are HR/Payroll, statistical analysis, customer service and support, print design, database administration, advertising, game development, mobile apps, illustration, and engineering and technical design.
The fact that workers can share documents and collaborate via Skype and Google+ Hangouts is changing the way people work. Workers no longer need to be in the same physical location to work together on a project in real-time.
Swart also mentioned is globalization as driving workers online. "The world is truly flat and getting flatter. And that is evidenced by clients who want access to talent across boarders. Nearly 30-percent of the hours billed in the United States originate off-shore. Clients want access to folks in the U.S. because Americans have a culture understanding that they want," Swart said. The Internet, globalization, and the economy are drivers to this on both sides, for companies and individuals. Like e-commerce, there's a massive market that wants to buy things via the web. Consumers are okay with paying for the goods, regardless of where they come from. Swart pointed out that 10 years ago, consumers weren't quite willing to do that.

Luckily my brother let me come over and watch 2 hawk games, or I'd be on the brink right about now. Our house was supposed to be done 45 days after we finished design and paid for it. It's now been 30 days. Guess what? I drove by it three days ago and they haven't even dug the foundation hole. Somebody is going to get their ass chewed Wednesday morning at opening of business, because we were supposed to be out of here on January 15th. Now their estimate is April 1st.

From the designer:
When I am feeling in a rut, or the inspiration just isn't happening, there is one thing I can always turn to for a quick, easy and great looking card — the Simon Says Stamp Tri Square die. You can cut it twice on a card front, or just once. You can use it horizontally or vertically. You can create peek a boo windows that almost anything looks great under. I find that once I get the creativity flowing, I can branch off and try different things, but sometimes I need that boost and this die is perfect!
For today's card, I ran the Tri Square die through my Big Shot vertically, on the left hand side of the Kraft card front. I took some Neenah White Cardstock to use underneath the die cut portion and stamped various sweet treats from the Fantastic Birthday set from Hero Arts. Then, I stamped them again on different papers from Lawn Fawn's Bright Side 6x6 paper pack. I paper pieced the images and layered my diecut panel on top. I added the sentiment "Have a sweet birthday," also from the Fantastic Birthday set. I finished it off using some Stardust Stickles, Glossy Accents and Enamel Dots. I filmed a quick video of the process, and I share my favorite way to make paper pieced images pop! Check it out below the card!

When I read in the Butler Eagle about the horse neglect, it made me think about the cause.
Not long ago these unwanted and old horses had value. It was the horse lovers who stopped the slaughter and use of these animals.
It might have been a noble idea, but it caused the wrong outcome.
These people live in a perfect world — or at least think they do.
Death is part of the life cycle.
This is like a no-kill animal shelter. It can stay in operation only a short time until it can no longer feed and care for all the old and sick.
This does not help the animal population; it only makes the people who try to do the impossible feel good.
I first read a letter to the editor from Glenny Coughenour, "Horse options exist," that was printed in the Feb. 21 Butler Eagle.
People who have unwanted horses and can't afford the feed and care have a real problem.
Coughenour has two ideas, rehoming or euthanization.
No one wants the horses in question, and euthanization costs more, to add to the problem.
Slaughter is the answer but people cannot stand the thought.
Not all horses are pets, and in the western states the problem is even worse. Many have been turned loose to run free. There they cause real damage to land.
Horse meat is used in many places as human food — and unlike beef, which gets tougher as the cattle age, the meat from horses gets tender with age.
Those who want to help the problem should work to get slaughter and export of horse meat for human consumption approved.
I do not want any animal neglected or mistreated, but until things change, that is what is destined to continue happening.
