Natal Moon in the 7th House

December 3, 2008 in 7th House, Grand Cross/Grand Square, Moon, Mystic Rectangle, aspects and placements, astrology | Tags: 7th House, Jean Harlow, Moon My brother used to joke about our 7th House Moon mother and her habit of believing that everyone else was probably chilled, hungry, tired, and so on, right when she was; he used to say that at her funeral she’d sit up in her coffin, look around, and ask, in a way similar to so many times she’d asked us before, “Is everybody dead, or is it

Odd Is In The Details

Image via Wikipedia Let’s get into detail about our obsession wish details. In Truth in Comedy we discussed how there has to be a germ of truth at the base of all comedy, otherwise it floats away like a kite without a string, or comes crashing to earth, either way the humor fails. Your audience has to recognize the truth and they recognize truth through details. Sometimes the merest of details works “Two guys walk into a bar…” actially contains enough information for us to work with; we

The Killer Anna • Everlost

Okay, yeah, you’re probably like “uh what the heck is with the bizarre title? WELLLLL we all have our reasons and MY reason is because it is my new favorite song! Hahah lame, definitely, but I don’t care. Do you wanna see the video and song? Well even if you don’t, you will anyway! xDD I absolutely love the song.

A write-up of the 2008 Soil Association conference

Last year’s Soil Association conference offered delegates a deep immersion in the peak oil/Transition debates, and was, for many, a seminal experience. This year’s took the discussions deeper and offered delegates an update on progress since and a re-energiser in terms of the scale of the work needed to be done for food and farming to truly be ‘in Transition’.  You can hear podcasts from the whole conference here and download the pdf of the conference programme here. I arrived slightly late,

Cat Litter Composting - 12-02-08

Cat Litter Composting - 12-02-08 Hopefully the very last bag of cat litter waste I send to the landfill! I’ve decided to start adding dates to my cat litter composting posts - like my Worm Inn Journal, this is going to be an ongoing series, so I’ll need some way to differentiate between them. Yesterday was a big day on this front. After once again becoming annoyed with stinky-cat-litter-smell while down in the basement, I finally decided to completely dump out the litter box with the norma

It Takes Discipline to Lose Money

For me, the hard part is to sit with losses, no matter how painful they are. Meaning: it’s easy to cut losses and go short or follow the trend. It’s hard to sit there and say “fuck you asshole, I ain’t selling GE down here.” That’s where most people start blowing goats (while in a losing position). They get all frazzled and shit, panicking out of stock, knifing into double inverses with impunity. I don’t know if yesterday was some sort of selling climax or the beginning of a new down turn. H

AWAKE INDIA AWAKE!!! THE WORLD NEEDS YOU

AWAKE INDIA AWAKE!!! THE WORLD NEEDS YOU 2 12 2008 AWAKE INDIA AWAKE!!! THE WORLD NEEDS YOU Abdul Basit The frequent innovative methods of terrorist attacks seem to leave us in a constant state of shock. While we were startled by the recent incident of hijacking of huge Saudi Oil tanker by the Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden that has been unheard of in the recent past, we were soon overwhelmed by the terrifying news of the assault on one of the largest metropolis in the world, Mumb

There is no judgement here....

Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and pain, fame and disrepute are the eight worldly winds. They ceaselessly change. As a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth. Buddha We are going into the time of year when I live in a nearly constant state of cognitive dissonance. It's hard. No kidding. I can't even escape it temporarily by getting stinking drunk! Gee, sometimes there just ain't no justice! :) So I've decided to

CO2 may have helped ancient Earth escape a deathly deep freeze

Washington, Dec 2 (ANI): Scientists have suggested that the planets present day greenhouse scourge, carbon dioxide (CO2), may have played a vital role in helping ancient Earth to escape from completely freezing up by glaciation. The scientists, from the UK, have claimed that the Earth never froze over completely during the Cryogenian Period, about 840 [...]

Nicholas Thomas Wright, Bishop of Durham (b. December 1, 1948)

Like him or not, he's made us all think deeply and seriously about very important matters. Today, N. T. (Tom) Wright, Bishop of Durham, is celebrating his 60th birthday. Born in Morpeth, Northumberland, England, on December 1, 1948, N. T. Wright was reared in Anglicanism. His biographer, John J. Hartmann, records that Wright came to a personal realization of God's love in Christ by the age of seven and of a calling to Christian service by age ten. This sense of a personal relationship with God

Bear Market Actually Began in 2000

You'd again be spoiled for choice if you were trying to pick the most distressing story of the day. The U.S. recession officially began in December of 2007, says the National Bureau for Economic Research. The S&P 500 fell nearly 9% in New York trading and all thirty Dow components were down. Manufacturing in the U.S. hit a 26-year low. China's factories are slowing, too, which is bad news for Aussie stocks. If you looked up into the sky last night, though, on your way home from a night-cap

A Profile of the Chinese Tunnel

One of the quitisential landmarks of any combat arms soldier serving in the 2nd Infantry Division and a subject of much debate on how it got there is the Chinaman or Chinese Tunnel in northern Kyeongi-do: The tunnel is located between the old Camp St. Barbara area and the Korea Training Center along an old dirt road that was once incredibly Highway 37. The dirt road snakes along the side of some steep hills before passing through a steep cliff face where the Chinese Tunnel is located: Thi

No Surprise To Me

December 2, 2008 in Beauty, Ilm, Inspiration, Islam, Muslim life, Personal, Random Happenings, Reflections, Religion, Spiritual I’ll admit: when I am upset, I don’t always turn to the right places for comfort. The kitchen is usually my first port of call. Sometimes sleep. Sometimes friends. But what happens when your stomach doesn’t fill? And your brain refuses to switch off? And friends don’t pick up the phone? So, I climbed the two and a bit flights of stairs to my room. I stood li

Google Earth is Our Paper - Part 5: A Week in Review

Our week of storytelling in Google Earth has finished however I wanted to wrap up my reflections on working in this way. In this post I look back over the process and review the benefits you will reap and any challenges that you may face in implementing a similar unit. A piece of Google Earth storytelling is definitely manageable within a week (5-6 hours) and in that sense is very flexible. The completed outcome from each child was a set of 6 placemarks that included: An embedded Vocaroo audi

I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist: Does God Exist, Part II

I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist: Does God Exist, Part II In previous installments, I’ve established that there’s a need for explaining why Christianity is the most reasonable position for an educated, skeptical individual to take (see the post here); that there exists such a thing as absolute truth, and that truth claims may be made about religion just as they can about any other topic (see the post here). that using the Cosmological Argument, the scientific fact that our univers
