That was more than the 2007 earnings of J. K. Rowling, Oprah Winfrey and Tiger Woods put together.

Saturn in Scorpio operates positively for brinksmanship giving nerves of steel. Jupiter conjunct Pluto operates positively if the event is just astronomical in size or importance. In gambling terminology it signals a potential windfall! In business it represents the Midas touch.

In recent years transiting Pluto had crossed his Sun and Moon and during 2007 was on his natal Merury at 27 degrees Sag. This could make him lucky enough to have that offhand conversation with his assistant (the one who predicted the housing market was 40% inflated and who later got the $43m bonus).</span></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >Not to say this could have happened to just anyone but a large factor of Sagittarius' luck is good timing.

It was likely well known by the Founders & Framers.</i><br /><br />Unhappy mortals! Dark and mourning earth!<br />Affrighted gathering of human kind!<br />Eternal lingering of useless pain!<br />Come, ye philosophers, who cry, “All’s well,”<br />And contemplate this ruin of a world.<br />Behold these shreds and cinders of your race,<br />This child and mother heaped in common wreck,<br />These scattered limbs beneath the marble shafts—<br />A hundred thousand whom the earth devours,<br />Who, torn and bloody, palpitating yet,<br />Entombed beneath their hospitable roofs,<br />In racking torment end their stricken lives.<br />To those expiring murmurs of distress,<br />To that appalling spectacle of woe,<br />Will ye reply: “You do but illustrate<br />The iron laws that chain the will of God”?<br />Say ye, o’er that yet quivering mass of flesh:<br />“God is avenged: the wage of sin is death”?<br />What crime, what sin, had those young hearts conceived<br />That lie, bleeding and torn, on mother’s breast?<br />Did fallen Lisbon deeper drink of vice<br />Than London, Paris, or sunlit Madrid?<br />In these men dance; at Lisbon yawns the abyss.<br />Tranquil spectators of your brothers’ wreck,<br />Unmoved by this repellent dance of death,<br />Who calmly seek the reason of such storms,<br />Let them but lash your own security;<br />Your tears will mingle freely with the flood.<br />When earth its horrid jaws half open shows,<br />My plaint is innocent, my cries are just.<br />Surrounded by such cruelties of fate,<br />By rage of evil and by snares of death,<br />Fronting the fierceness of the elements,<br />Sharing our ills, indulge me my lament.<br />“’T is pride,” ye say—“the pride of rebel heart,<br />To think we might fare better than we do.”<br />Go, tell it to the Tagus’ stricken banks;<br />Search in the ruins of that bloody shock;<br />Ask of the dying in that house of grief,<br />Whether ’t is pride that calls on heaven for help<br />And pity for the sufferings of men.<br />“All’s well,” ye say, “and all is necessary.”<br />Think ye this universe had been the worse<br />Without this hellish gulf in Portugal?<br />Are ye so sure the great eternal cause,<br />That knows all things, and for itself creates,<br />Could not have placed us in this dreary clime<br />Without volcanoes seething ’neath our feet?<br />Set you this limit to the power supreme?<br />Would you forbid it use its clemency?<br />Are not the means of the great artisan<br />Unlimited for shaping his designs?<br />The master I would not offend, yet wish<br />This gulf of fire and sulphur had outpoured<br />Its baleful flood amid the desert wastes.<br />God I respect, yet love the universe.<br />Not pride, alas, it is, but love of man,<br />To mourn so terrible a stroke as this.<br /><br />Would it console the sad inhabitants<br />Of these aflame and desolated shores<br />To say to them: “Lay down your lives in peace;<br />For the world’s good your homes are sacrificed;<br />Your ruined palaces shall others build,<br />For other peoples shall your walls arise;<br />The North grows rich on your unhappy loss;<br />Your ills are but a link in general law;<br />To God you are as those low creeping worms<br />That wait for you in your predestined tombs”?<br />What speech to hold to victims of such ruth!<br />Add not such cruel outrage to their pain.<br /><br />Nay, press not on my agitated heart<br />These iron and irrevocable laws,<br />This rigid chain of bodies, minds, and worlds.<br />Dreams of the bloodless thinker are such thoughts.<br />God holds the chain: is not himself enchained;<br />By his indulgent choice is all arranged;<br />Implacable he’s not, but free and just.<br /><br />Why suffer we, then, under one so just?1<br />There is the knot your thinkers should undo.<br />Think ye to cure our ills denying them?<br />All peoples, trembling at the hand of God,<br />Have sought the source of evil in the world.<br />When the eternal law that all things moves<br />Doth hurl the rock by impact of the winds,<br />With lightning rends and fires the sturdy oak,<br />They have no feeling of the crashing blows;<br />But I, I live and feel, my wounded heart<br />Appeals for aid to him who fashioned it.<br /><br />Children of that Almighty Power, we stretch<br />Our hands in grief towards our common sire.<br />The vessel, truly, is not heard to say:<br />“Why should I be so vile, so coarse, so frail?”<br />Nor speech nor thought is given unto it.<br />The urn that, from the potter’s forming hand,<br />Slips and is shattered has no living heart<br />That yearns for bliss and shrinks from misery.<br />“This misery,” ye say, “is others’ good.”<br />Yes; from my mouldering body shall be born<br />A thousand worms, when death has closed my pain.<br />Fine consolation this in my distress!<br />Grim speculators on the woes of men,<br />Ye double, not assuage, my misery.<br />In you I mark the nerveless boast of pride<br />That hides its ill with pretext of content.<br /><br />I am a puny part of the great whole.<br />Yes; but all animals condemned to live,<br />All sentient things, born by the same stern law,<br />Suffer like me, and like me also die.<br /><br />The vulture fastens on his timid prey,<br />And stabs with bloody beak the quivering limbs:<br />All ’s well, it seems, for it. But in a while<br />An eagle tears the vulture into shreds;<br />The eagle is transfixed by shaft of man;<br />The man, prone in the dust of battlefield,<br />Mingling his blood with dying fellow-men,<br />Becomes in turn the food of ravenous birds.<br />Thus the whole world in every member groans:<br />All born for torment and for mutual death.<br />And o’er this ghastly chaos you would say<br />The ills of each make up the good of all!<br />What blessedness! And as, with quaking voice,<br />Mortal and pitiful, ye cry, “All ’s well,”<br />The universe belies you, and your heart<br />Refutes a hundred times your mind’s conceit.<br /><br />All dead and living things are locked in strife.<br />Confess it freely—evil stalks the land,<br />Its secret principle unknown to us.<br />Can it be from the author of all good?<br />Are we condemned to weep by tyrant law<br />Of black Typhon or barbarous Ahriman?1<br />These odious monsters, whom a trembling world<br />Made gods, my spirit utterly rejects.<br /><br />But how conceive a God supremely good,<br />Who heaps his favours on the sons he loves,<br />Yet scatters evil with as large a hand?<br />What eye can pierce the depth of his designs?<br />From that all-perfect Being came not ill:<br />And came it from no other, for he’s lord:<br />Yet it exists. O stern and numbing truth!<br />O wondrous mingling of diversities!<br />A God came down to lift our stricken race:<br />He visited the earth, and changed it not!<br />One sophist says he had not power to change;<br />“He had,” another cries, “but willed it not:<br />In time he will, no doubt.” And, while they prate,<br />The hidden thunders, belched from underground,<br />Fling wide the ruins of a hundred towns<br />Across the smiling face of Portugal.<br />God either smites the inborn guilt of man,<br />Or, arbitrary lord of space and time,<br />Devoid alike of pity and of wrath,<br />Pursues the cold designs he has conceived.<br />Or else this formless stuff, recalcitrant,<br />Bears in itself inalienable faults;<br />Or else God tries us, and this mortal life<br />Is but the passage to eternal spheres.<br />’T is transitory pain we suffer here,<br />And death its merciful deliverance.<br />Yet, when this dreadful passage has been made,<br />Who will contend he has deserved the crown?<br />Whatever side we take we needs must groan;<br />We nothing know, and everything must fear.<br />Nature is dumb, in vain appeal to it;<br />The human race demands a word of God.<br />’T is his alone to illustrate his work,<br />Console the weary, and illume the wise.<br />Without him man, to doubt and error doomed,<br />Finds not a reed that he may lean upon.<br />From Leibnitz learn we not by what unseen<br />Bonds, in this best of all imagined worlds,<br />Endless disorder, chaos of distress,<br />Must mix our little pleasures thus with pain;<br />Nor why the guiltless suffer all this woe<br />In common with the most abhorrent guilt.<br />’Tis mockery to tell me all is well.<br />Like learned doctors, nothing do I know.<br />Plato has said that men did once have wings<br />And bodies proof against all mortal ill;<br />That pain and death were strangers to their world.<br />How have we fallen from that high estate!<br />Man crawls and dies: all is but born to die:<br />The world ’s the empire of destructiveness.<br />This frail construction of quick nerves and bones<br />Cannot sustain the shock of elements;<br />This temporary blend of blood and dust<br />Was put together only to dissolve;<br />This prompt and vivid sentiment of nerve<br />Was made for pain, the minister of death:<br />Thus in my ear does nature’s message run.<br />Plato and Epicurus I reject,<br />And turn more hopefully to learned Bayle.<br />With even poised scale Bayle bids me doubt.<br />He, wise and great enough to need no creed,<br />Has slain all systems—combats even himself:<br />Like that blind conqueror of Philistines,<br /><br />He sinks beneath the ruin he has wrought.1<br />What is the verdict of the vastest mind?<br />Silence: the book of fate is closed to us.<br />Man is a stranger to his own research;<br />He knows not whence he comes, nor whither goes.<br />Tormented atoms in a bed of mud,<br />Devoured by death, a mockery of fate.<br />But thinking atoms, whose far-seeing eyes,<br />Guided by thought, have measured the faint stars,<br />Our being mingles with the infinite;<br />Ourselves we never see, or come to know.<br />This world, this theatre of pride and wrong,<br />Swarms with sick fools who talk of happiness.<br />With plaints and groans they follow up the quest,<br />To die reluctant, or be born again.<br />At fitful moments in our pain-racked life<br />The hand of pleasure wipes away our tears;<br />But pleasure passes like a fleeting shade,<br />And leaves a legacy of pain and loss.<br />The past for us is but a fond regret,<br />The present grim, unless the future’s clear.<br />If thought must end in darkness of the tomb,<br />All will be well one day—so runs our hope.<br />All now is well, is but an idle dream.<br />The wise deceive me: God alone is right.<br />With lowly sighing, subject in my pain,<br />I do not fling myself ’gainst Providence.<br />Once did I sing, in less lugubrious tone,<br />The sunny ways of pleasure’s genial rule;<br />The times have changed, and, taught by growing age,<br />And sharing of the frailty of mankind,<br />Seeking a light amid the deepening gloom,<br />I can but suffer, and will not repine.<br /><br />A caliph once, when his last hour had come,<br />This prayer addressed to him he reverenced:<br />“To thee, sole and all-powerful king, I bear<br />What thou dost lack in thy immensity –<br />Evil and ignorance, distress and sin.”<br />He might have added one thing further—hope.Queen of

Linotype';font-size:14;color:navy;">Today’s Lunar Eclipse takes place with the New Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto, pretty dark energy. It was anticipated, as eclipses usually are, by the tragic earthquake in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region st="on">Haiti</st1:country-region> and talk about <st1:country-region st="on">Haiti</st1:country-region>’s “pact with the Devil”, a right wing religious myth that has perpetuated since <st1:country-region st="on">Haiti</st1:country-region>’s emancipation from the French and relative to its condition compared to the neighboring <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Dominican Republic</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Palatino Linotype;font-size:130%;color:navy;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';font-size:14;color:navy;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Palatino Linotype;font-size:130%;color:navy;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';font-size:14;color:navy;">It need not necessarily mean 6 months of dark events. Here are some positive interpretations of ways to use this energy. The influence of an eclipse lasts until the next one. They are about 6 months apart. The word is “influence”. Though scary to witness, lending themselves to medieval reaction, eclipses are more like more stock to a soup bases. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span

We see business acting as a moral force. It's the GREAT thing about business and with Pluto going in to Capricorn it's time to come of age - just like war spawns all sorts of very valuable medical and technical advances, business brings a certain type of backwoods equity, i.e., if you can afford to pay x amount I will sell it to you regardless of r c or c.<br /><br />Pluto is firmly in Capricorn now. If you ever doubted the undermining power of this planet look at what happened to Tiger Woods’ life in just a few days. Tiger Woods has his Sun in Capricorn.<br /><br />The same thing is going on with our own individual social and familial structures. We may not all by any means be living double lives but somehow it is possible to drift into bad territory and get stuck there, like with a long marriage or family dynamic that has become quite toxic. If so, this will probably be the worst holiday season you’ve ever had and the toxicity of your relationships may become just too deadly to ignore any longer. That’s Pluto at work.<br /><br />Very many of you are absolutely at your wit’s end, knowing you simply cannot bear the status quo a minute longer .<br /><br />This is Pluto at work. My advice is to take a good look at all of it and say goodbye, knowing you’ve tried your hardest (probably since 1982). Then prepare to act on your discovery in 2010. Prepare to see it all fall apart or fall away to reveal a better place for you, a better relationship or relationships. This is Pluto ending the 1982-2009 cycle and starting a brand new one.<br /><br />It certainly will help to get a Tarot or astrology reading and I’m here working all during December and January.Queen of Wandshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702396344666440280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662976078715097584.post-49165716667310223562009-12-09T00:59:00.000-08:002009-12-09T01:01:21.658-08:00Nancy Fenn's Sympathetic Other Woman Survey<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwwckbAa0lqBAgWi6W544ce4SSVTLR2YS7naKcrvOaih0aCZVKu61Fi__lBjKNCXAgcRgd5VEYTAI2us5tbjqHHyJODsG1b9e0WxnrlrdE79906jXV_S8O5lKzl0a3ConQTTpaCIYjFLQ/s1600-h/otherwomanheine.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 255px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwwckbAa0lqBAgWi6W544ce4SSVTLR2YS7naKcrvOaih0aCZVKu61Fi__lBjKNCXAgcRgd5VEYTAI2us5tbjqHHyJODsG1b9e0WxnrlrdE79906jXV_S8O5lKzl0a3ConQTTpaCIYjFLQ/s400/otherwomanheine.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413158897941192802" /></a><br />age =: 30<br /><br />name for married lover: Darryl<br /><br />make up a name for you: Stephanie<br /><br />how did your relationship get started =: In 1998, Darryl and I met as we were neighbors. I moved shortly afterwards and we lost touch. Four years later, he and I reconnected. I heard that he had gotten married, but I was never interested in dating him. When we met to have dinner (as friends), he informed me that he was seperated and living at home with his parents. We then started to spend all of our time together. Since he is a truck driver, he was often gone for about two weeks at a time. We became so close that he was pratically living at my house. About 4 months into our relationship, I started receiving phone calls from what I thought was his ex-wife. His wife and I ended up meeting and told me that they were very much together. After my meeting with her, I met up with him and ended the relationship. I moved and changed my telephone number. I didn't see or talk to him for five years. I was checking my MySpace account and received a note from one of our mutual friends a!<br /> dvising me that Darryl wanted me to call him. I didn't respond to the note. Then, Darryl created his own MySpace page and reached out to me and told me that it was important. After five years of not speaking/seeing each other, I figured something must have been wrong. When I contacted him, he told me that for the past five years, I was all he thought about and that he had been in love with me the entire time. He also stated that he wanted to reconcile and eventually marry. I asked about his marital status and he stated that he was still married, but was not happy and wanted to divorce. I told him if this was the case, he should take care of that situation prior to being involved with me. I extended friendship and we remain friends. This year (June 09# I had been dealing with being unemployed since December 08. Times were extremely difficult for me. Darryl came into town #I live in No. VA) and stayed for two weeks. We spent every day together and we both realized that we cou!<br /> ld no longer remain friends. I told him that I was still in love with him, but I could not entertain a friendship with him as it was extremely difficult to keep it platonic. When I told him this, he begged me to be a part of his life and to give him an opportunity to change his marital status. Reluctantly, I agreed.<br /><br />how long did it last =: From June 2009 to November 2009.<br /><br />how did it end =: After giving him four opportunities to seperate from his wife and him not making good on his word, I figured he was lying. The only way I could have found out the truth was to talk to her. I called her and advised her what was going on. Now she is saying I was trying to destroy her marriage.<br /><br />would you do it again = : I love Darryl very much, but when his wife asked him if he loved me, he told her no. Aside from this, he had a baby outside of their marriage. He has known about the 6 year old child for 3 years and neglected to tell his wife. Based on his character, I will never be able to trust him. Even if he divorces, I do not see a future between him and I. <br /><br />never done this before =: No. I knew he had had an affair outside of his marriage before. This was the second time we were together. Although the first time, I did not know he was still married. He has confided in me that he has had two additional affairs outside of his relationship with me.<br /><br />did he have any kids =: He has three children. Two children with his wife. Well, I just recently found out that the 6 year old child he thought belonged to him, is not. He has two children with his wife. WHen I asked why he hadn't divorced during the time we were apart, he stated that he only stayed married because of his children. <br /><br />did you know his wife before or gret to know her?: I did not "know" his wife. However, we did meet the first time Darryl and I were together. I didn't get to know her, but from our conversation 7 years ago, she was very kind and pleasant.<br /><br />did you ever contact his wife = : This past November, I reached out to her because I felt he was lying to me about his marriage. He was telling me that he was very unhappy, that he never loved her, and that he only married her because she was pregnant. He stated that he hadn't left because of the children and because he really had no incentive to leave. He said when I gave him a second chance, he was going to make the step to seperate from her because I was the woman he loved. The fourth time I gave him the opportunity to take care of the situation, he told me it was hard because he didn't want to leave her in a bad situation with the kids. I thought the excuse was just an excuse and felt he was lying to me. The only way I would know the truth would be to contact her. When I contacted her, I told her the truth. I also told her the reasons behind me advising her of our affair. I honestly had no hopes that she would walk away and leave. I just needed a resolution to this issue!<br /> . Being that I am a believer in Christ, I was extremely uncomfortable with the situation. I wanted to handle this properly without causing this woman grief. She accepted what I said, but later, accused me of trying to destroy her marriage. Which totally isn't the case. To prove what I told her and that I did not pursue her husband, I sent her surveys he and I did, which were handwritten by the both of us. I still feel it was the right choice to contact her because my heart was in the right place. I wanted to know the truth and I got the truth. Since that day, I have not reached out to him or her. If I were trying to destroy her marriage, I would still be in the picture. I wouldn't have told her to begin with.<br /><br />spend a lot of money on you =: He didn't spend a lot of money on me. We went to dinner occasionally, but that is about it. <br /><br />what did he promise you =: He promised me that he would leave. That is the only promise he made me. He told me often how much he loved me, that he wanted to have children with me, and that he wanted to marry me. He met my parents and friends. He intorduced to me to his friends. He incorporated me into his life as though he wasn't married.<br /><br />did you want to marry him or just have the affair =: I wanted to marry him. I pressed him to seperate because I was uncomfortable dating a man who was married. Our relationship was never an "affair" (my though prior to me finding out the truth). He reached out to me and was telling me that he wanted to divorce her. It was under that pretense that I gave him a second chance. It was never I am with you just to be with you. It was I am with you because you are the woman I love. He often referred to me as his soul mate and second wife to his friends.<br /><br />are you still in contact with him = : I am not. We broke up on November 9th, 09.<br /><br />did you have an abortion or a child =: No children and no abortion.<br /><br />did you date others =: I did not.<br /><br />what advice would you give someone who is considering an affair? = : I would advise them to wait until the marriage is over. It only breeds pain and drama. Men will do anything to have their cake and eat it too. That includes them telling you they love you. <br /><br />what advice would you give a wife whose husband was having an affair =: Do not blame the other woman. You never know what your husband has told her. There are women out there who truly have desires to destroy your marriage, but your husband has control over that. He is the one who made vows to you. As someone who was the "other woman" I am truly accountable for being involved with a man who was married. I feel so horrible that I played a role in causing another person pain. However, I did not have bad intentions. I gave the man I loved a chance to do what he said he wanted to do. I didn't know that him chasing me for two years was all a lie. I compromised myself and my beliefs for love and I feel that was my biggest mistake. I should have stuck to my guns. I would also tell the wife to see the situation for what it is. Blaming the other woman does not resolve the issues within your marriage. It only makes it worse. Regardless of what is transpiring within the marriage, adult!<br /> erey is not the answer. <br /><br />why do you tnink men have affairs =: In my particular situation, I am not sure WHY he had an affair with me. Although when his wife asked him if he loved me and he said no (although he had been telling me this for two years) I still believe otherwise. I believe he lied because he had so much to lose had he said yes. He makes a lot of money, so he said no to protect his assets. I don't know what was missing in his marriage, but I do know that he purposely stays on the road for months at a time. He doesn't want to go home to be around her. Whenever he was in town, he would go home to Raliegh and spend the weekend and to see his kids, but he would come up to NO. VA to see me and spend two weeks. I don't know.. I don't get it. I don't understand why he would chase me down the way he did, tell me all his inner-most feelings for two years, and then finally get what he said he wanted to just lie the way he did.<br /><br />did you ever feel guilty about what you were doing -: I felt guilty every single day. Which is why I never let up about him seperating from his wife. It's what he said he wanted, so I made sure to stay on him about it. I can never do it again. IT's not who I am and I spent so many days/night in tears because of what I was doing to his wife. I even took the matter to my Pastor. I spoke to him while in the middle of our relationship because I was so distraught over hurting her and my relationship with God. <br /><br />where how often regularly =: We didn't meet. He was always here at my house all the time. We weren't sneaking around or anything. He lives in Raliegh, NC and I live in Manassas, Va. They moved to Raligh four years ago, but their friends are all up here. He had me around their mutual friends and everything. Our relationship was never hidden.<br /><br />did you tel did you tell friends or relatives =: Yes, everyone in my family and circle of friends knew. I don't hide my life. I try to be as honest as I can, especially to those I love and care for. Fortunately, none of them was upset with me. Everyone said he wasn't going to leave, but I felt differently. They were shocked that I would even entertain a man who was married, yet they understood the predicament due to my feelings for him. Many of them have met him and has seen and heard the things he said to me. Those who met him felt the same as I, that he was serious about what he wanted out his relationship with me.<br /><br />what did you learn =: WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! If they say they are married, RUN AWAY!

She asks you to share the word, so I am.<br /><br />Aspartame Side Effects<br />The components of aspartame can lead to a number of health problems, as you have read. Side effects can occur gradually, can be immediate, or can be acute reactions.<br /><br />According to Lendon Smith, M.D. there is an enormous population suffering from side effects associated with aspartame, yet have no idea why drugs, supplements and herbs don’t relieve their symptoms. Then, there are users who don’t ‘appear’ to suffer immediate reactions at all. Even these individuals are susceptible to the long-term damage caused by excitatory amino acids, phenylalanine, methanol, and DKP.<br /><br />Adverse reactions and side effects of aspartame include:<br /><br />Eye<br />blindness in one or both eyes<br />decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as: blurring, bright flashes, squiggly lines, tunnel vision, decreased night vision<br />pain in one or both eyes<br />decreased tears<br />trouble with contact lenses<br />bulging eyes<br /><br />Ear<br />tinnitus - ringing or buzzing sound<br />severe intolerance of noise<br />marked hearing impairment<br /><br />Neurologic<br />epileptic seizures<br />headaches, migraines and (some severe)<br />dizziness, unsteadiness, both<br />confusion, memory loss, both<br />severe drowsiness and sleepiness<br />paresthesia or numbness of the limbs<br />severe slurring of speech<br />severe hyperactivity and restless legs<br />atypical facial pain<br />severe tremors<br /><br />Psychological/Psychiatric<br />severe depression<br />irritability<br />aggression<br />anxiety<br />personality changes<br />insomnia<br />phobias<br /><br />Chest<br />palpitations, tachycardia<br />shortness of breath<br />recent high blood pressure<br /><br />Gastrointestinal<br />nausea<br />diarrhea, sometimes with blood in stools<br />abdominal pain<br />pain when swallowing<br /><br />Skin and Allergies<br />itching without a rash<br />lip and mouth reactions<br />hives<br />aggravated respiratory allergies such as asthma<br /><br />Endocrine and Metabolic<br />loss of control of diabetes<br />menstrual changes<br />marked thinning or loss of hair<br />marked weight loss<br />gradual weight gain<br />aggravated low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)<br />severe PMS<br /><br />Other<br />frequency of voiding and burning during urination<br />excessive thirst, fluid retention, leg swelling, and bloating<br />increased susceptibility to infection<br /><br />Additional Symptoms of Aspartame Toxicity include the most critical symptoms of all<br />death<br />irreversible brain damage<br />birth defects, including mental retardation<br />peptic ulcers<br />aspartame addiction and increased craving for sweets<br />hyperactivity in children<br />severe depression<br />aggressive behavior<br />suicidal tendencies<br /><br />Aspartame may trigger, mimic, or cause the following illnesses:<br />Chronic Fatigue Syndrome<br />Epstein-Barr<br />Post-Polio Syndrome<br />Lyme Disease<br />Grave’s Disease<br />Meniere’s Disease<br />Alzheimer’s Disease<br />ALS<br />Epilepsy<br />Multiple Sclerosis (MS)<br />EMS<br />Hypothyroidism<br />Mercury sensitivity from Amalgam fillings<br />Fibromyalgia<br />Lupus<br />non-Hodgkins<br />Lymphoma<br />Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)<br /><br />These are not allergies or sensitivities, but diseases and disease syndromes. Aspartame poisoning is commonly misdiagnosed because aspartame symptoms mock textbook ‘disease’ symptoms, such as Grave’s Disease.<br /><br />Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays. Textbook disorders and diseases may actually be a toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning.<br /><br />Ever gone to the doctor with real, physical symptoms, but he/she can’t find the cause? Well, it’s probably your diet, your environment, or both.<br /><br />Aspartame is the common denominator for over 92 different health symptoms at the root of modern disease. The Aspartame Detoxification Program demonstrates the most effective way to reverse disease symptoms is removing the underlying cause - aspartame.<br /><br />I counsel aspartame victims worldwide and have witnessed nine out of 10 clients restore their health by following the Aspartame Detoxification Program. Begin with detoxifying your body of all residual chemical toxins from aspartame's chemical make up of phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol and their toxic by-products, and see if any adverse health symptoms remain. Try the Aspartame Detoxification Program, and within 30 days your symptoms should disappear.<br /><br />Steps:<br /><br />1.Remove all sugar-free products with aspartame from your diet.<br />2.Learn to 'read' your body. Begin recording any health changes.<br />3.Get a hair analysis.<br />4.Be happy with yourself.<br />5.Detoxify.<br />6.Restore depleted nutrients.<br />7.Exercise and get plenty of rest.<br />8.Eat 75% raw foods at every meal.<br />9.Drink water, water, water.<br />10.Get control of your life.<br />I designed this Ten Step Program to help protect your health and the health of those you love from being seduced by the sugar-free diet craze.

One of my jobs is to find new recourse's and training for the negotiation team. Your article intrigued me because we often deal with people who are non responsive and show very introverted traits.<br /><br />It is essential that we communicate with people in crisis regardless if they are introverts or not. Often times when my team arrives at a scene, the person in crisis does not want to respond.<br /><br />Do you have any additional information on how to break the ice with Introverts?<br /><br />How to get people to start talking with us when they're in crisis?<br /><br />Thank you for your time,<br /><br />XXx XXXPolice Department HNT Team<br /><br /><br />Our answer on behalf of introverts everywhere ...<br /><br />This is from my technical, spiritual and menu advisor Dave who taught me everything I know about MBTI!!.<br />><br />Relative to MBTI types, there are two distinct types of Introverts. The Introverted Sensing types will always notice and (hopefully) recall more data than any police officer needs. They observe and remember everything and only need to be made to feel like they are part of the team in order to share this information. Of course, you can't make them part of the team if you bully them or pressure them. This is especially true of ISTP/ISFP's. Judging types tend to naturally understand the need for order and closure.<br /><br />Introverted Intuitive types are more of a problem since they are not naturally very aware of their surroundings. They might not even notice key details that could provide helpful information to the police. It is very hard to share information that you never collected. Fortunately, only a very small percentage of the population are IN-types.<br /><br />Lets use an example here. Bad guys try to rob a bank, cops show up - hostage situation at hand. Bad guys released 12 Introverted hostages in good faith. Police need to interview the released hostages. All 10 of the IS types notice what the bad guys were wearing, how many guns they had, how much ammo they had, whether their nails were dirty or they needed a shave.<br />In the back of their minds, the ISTP/ISFP Artisans would take this robbery personal. The ISTJ/ISFJ Guardians would view it as an attack on the system (that they love).<br /><br />The Introverted Intuitive would look at it from a broader perspective.<br />The lone INFP is probably wondering why they were robbing the bank for in the first place, why would they pick that bank, wonder about the bad guys family life, what drove them to crime, etc. The INTJ is wondering why they would rob a bank so close to a police station, and why they didn't have a better getaway plan. The INTJ just knew they could do a better job robbing a bank.<br /><br />Obviously, this is a gross exaggeration - but it does make my point.<br />Information is not the same thing for everyone. This is a very important consideration.<br /><br />My take on this is that you are pretty much on the money except it might not hurt to consider the shadow personality thing. Fear can make Extroverts clam up tight as a drum. It call also make Introverts talkative. The most important thing to do is take fear out of the equation for Extroverts and to allow the shadow side of the Introvert to show itself. I would not decrease the pressure on the Introverts - I would increase it. Of course, I am a prick sometimes. Let me re-state that. I think that all of what you suggested in great, especially the part about the calming voice, creating a comfortable atmosphere and even a being able to write down thoughts. It is always a good idea to give an Introvert a notepad to write on as you are asking questions. These same things should all work well with Extroverts too, in my untrained opinion, as you are trying to calm and manage their energy.<br /><br />If the above doesn't work, then I would push really hard. Introverts will usually revert into themselves under pressure - they will find their comfort zone and hide there for long periods of time. To extract information, you need to push them out of their comfort zone by being demanding and intruding. The only sure way to get them out of their space is for you to get into it and push them out. This will lead to a lot of bad feelings and resentment - but it is quick and effective.<br /><br />I hope this helps. Thanks for sharing with me...<br /><br />Dave<br /><br />These are my suggestions that he is referring. Take what you like and leave the rest. “Intention” always rules! As my grandmother used to say, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”<br /><br />First and foremost, mirror their body language EXACTLY. Continue to do this throughout your time together.<br />> 2. Have several people to choose from including at least one woman. Ask them, “Who (which one)do you want to stay here with you?” Use<br />> those exact words, don’t mention talking.<br />> 3. Give good eye contact one time (make sure it happens) and then look down or away for the rest of the time.<br />> 4. Keep your voice well modulated (no quasi military bullshit)<br />> 5. Say “we” instead of “I”<br />> 6. “We need some information. It will be days before you can really organize your thoughts, we understand, so you can answer one-word answers and we’ll let you write it out for us later or come by and hear the whole story and exactly how it happened in a few days. For now it’s ok to just answer in one word. Ok? It’s ok if you need to cry, too, or smoke or anything you need to do, ok, we can still understand your words. Nod your head when you’re ready ... when we can begin, ok. One word is all we need. We’ll help you with the rest.” [I am purposely using vague and winding language so s/he can get used to the sound of my voice. At a crisis situation sounds are horrifying to an introvert, way too much noise and stimulation. Use your voice to calm the person down.]<br /><br />7. Especially the aforementioned infp type will want to know no one will be shot or convicted on the basis of information they came up with on the spur of the moment and under duress.<br />> 7. “Would you like to continue somewhere else?” Introverts are very territorial and very sensitive to their surroundings. They may overtly want you off of their property or out of their living space before they can calm down.<br />> 8. “Would you like me to hold your hand?” Expect an emphatic yes or no and don’t take it personally – there are 4 different types of introverts.<br />> 9. In every group of people there is always someone with a calming VOICE. Be on the lookout for this person and try to recruit them L OL<br />> 10. “All we need is for you to do your best with your one or two word answers. We’ll let you correct it all later if you need to. Just do your best.”<br />><br />> Regarding people one-step removed from the crisis<br />> 11. IF the person isn’t directly involved in the situation convince them how IMPORTANT it is. Introverts hate small talk and won’t say anything if it isn’t going to be taken seriously.. “Lives have been saved by seemingly casual information from bystanders like you.” “We feel you may have critical information to add to the big picture .....” </div>Queen of Wandshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702396344666440280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662976078715097584.post-45522823572441957332009-10-29T22:14:00.000-07:002009-11-02T16:16:57.628-08:00Getting in the Mood - Nancy R.

I'm wondering about the stock market. Which way will it go? <br /><br />Follow my blog or catch me on facebook for updates.<br /><br />Executive and EQ Coach Susan Dunn said, "The stock market is the most emotional thing there is."<br /><br />In 1982 at the beginning of the current world order (Saturn conjunct Pluto in Libra) there was a 9 year high followed by a short but deep reccession.<br /><br /><br />Harvey Pitt was appointed SEC Chairman at crisis or turning point when Pluto in Sagittarius opposed Saturn in Gemini in 2001. This is the halffway point in any cycle like the Full Moon. I think Harvey would agree!!<br /><br />Take a look at the more complete history and more <a href="http://www.bemyastrologer.com/nyse_charts.html">charts of the New York Stock Exchange.</a><br /><br />The North Node of the NY Stock Exchange is at 2 degrees Libra -- amazing. Just 1 degree away from Saturn's ingress into Libra. Its progressed Sun is conjunct transiting Pluto.<br /><br />Here is the only complete and accurate listing of this cycle's dates on the internet. Most of the transits lasted 2 years:<br /><br />1982 conjunct in Libra<br /><br /><br />1989 Saturn in Capricorn separating sextile Pluto in Scorpio<br /><br /><br />1993 Saturn in Aquarius separating square Pluto in Scorpio - Leavitt appointed<br /><br /><br />1997 Saturn in Aries trine Pluto in Sagittarius - let the good times roll<br /><br /><br />2002 Saturn in Gemini opposite Pluto in Sagittarius - enter Harvey Pitt<br /><br /><br />2007 Saturn in Leo trine Pluto in Sagittarius<br /><br /><br />2009 Saturn in Libra culminating square Pluto in Capricorn - only the Shadow knows at this poinnt but stay tuned as I will try to "call it" before Nov. 1<br /><br /><br />2013 Saturn in Scorpio culminating sextile Pluto in Capricorn<br /><br /><br />2020 conjunct in Capricorn<br /><br />Arthur Leavitt was appointed SEC Charman in 1993 for a long dynamic term befitting a separating square; however all the later troubles incubated there! Leavitt's communicative "take it to the people" style fit the Aquarius aspect under which he took office.<br /><br />Harvey Pitt's short, volatile term in office followed in 2001 just as Saturn faced off against Pluto. It was at a the turning point of this gigantic far reaching cycle. If this were a Verdi opera the music would be wratched up unbearably as Pitt walked onto the stage to sing a bass solo aria of incredibly ominous tension yet he is the hero not the villain! The whole term could be characterized as "crisis management" as it included 911 (days after taking office) and Enron and son of Enron and son of son of ... LOL ... and maybe even son of Wrath of Khan ... which is what Pitt does at is Kalorama Partners firm in DC and NY, crisis management.
