Capricorn Horoscope for week of September 1, 2005
Verticle Oracle card Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
There's a connection between Al Qaeda and actor Kevin Bacon, according to Tatsuya Ishida at www.sinfest.net. Al Qaeda was trained by the CIA, he says, which was established by President Harry Truman, who dropped the atom bomb which was cooked up by the Manhattan Project, which was the name of a movie starring John Lithgow, who was in the film "Footloose" with Kevin Bacon. I invite you to make liberal use of this kind of logic in the coming days, Capricorn. The astrological omens say it will be healthy for you to let your imagination run away with you as long as you don't take as gospel truth all the conclusions it leads you to. So please feel free to ramble down the fine line between creative storytelling and total BS.

Modern, Cool Nerd
82 % Nerd, 78% Geek, 47% Dork
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
Congratulations!
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 86% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 94% on geekosity
You scored higher than 80% on dork points

post surgery
its been an amazing 24 hours, seeing i didnt have to be at the hospital til 130, i took the opportunity to do stuff that will require two arms and i then went to the post office and finally to the hosptial. i was light headed but i walked to the slope for something to do..
by the time i got there, my clothes were wet with sweat and i was sticky. I
was glad to check in and get out of my clothes-
they were still wet at 830 when i got them back. ( there is nothing worse than a sticky damp bra and shorts)
the nurses were surprised that i was smiling and in good spirits, that was until i found out that that i wouldnt be seen til 330pm-
the nurses put me in room with at TV til this nurse came in and asked if i was Okay.. i was tired and bored and she put me in a room with a recliner, she put me in a recovery room and i was afraid they would forget me. I checked with her periodically and she had a killer sense of humor so i could joke with her. my hot flashes and hers were a topic of discussion and how stress elevates them..
but actually, i watched Oprah til they called me... I watched CNN and the hurricaine most of 48 hours, and the devastation and destruction is beyond what i can imagine.. so as i waited and waited with my lack of coffee headache..by the time i was called, i was anxious to get it over it..
i waited for my chariot or carriage pulled by snow white horses to take me to the OR... as i could walk..i walked over the OR...I asked my Russian attendant if he could yell" dead man walking" but he didnt have a sense of humor.. I met with my doctor and the anestiologist and i was good to go... my anxiety was relieved at this time
my doctor looks like IRwin corey, the absent minded professor or like einstein but he is sooo good at his craft.. the other staff were great and they led me to the Operating room. at cabrini i was out by the time, they wheeled me in.. at methodist, i walked in...and put my arm out to be smeared with yellow antiseptic..
i remember talking about the needle sticks and the anestiologist told me about the drug addicts who scream when the IV is being inserted..I saw my xrays and was really awake in the operating room.... they woke me up to show me the hardware, and to give me some morphine..and off to recovery.. ( i know i dreamed and i was out in a fitful sleep)
i overheard the woman across the dorm room being told that she had both ovaries removed in her exploratory surgery due to Ovarian Cancer.. all i could muster was "im sorry" from my dull state..It didnt matter to her that i was sorry and it shouldnt...
i never slept and actually didnt sleep last night..i came in at 930 after stopping at the store to get a sprite and diet ice tea..i stayed up and watched TV most of the night, snippets of Iron Chef, battle Eggplant, and CNN...aaron brown late night....and more destruction from the hurricaine..and aftermath- i dozed off and got up and checkd my email and ate everything i could get my hands on... and napped more..
the morphine and the local in my arm has worn off andnow i have a swollen wing that needs to be in a sling....i have some strong pain killers and plan to zonk out later.. til then its tylenol..PM
i have been up most of the day, i am groggy and tired and napped for about an hour. i went to the store a few times and moved my car for alternate side of street parking. I tried to go for a walk but my body refuses to do what my head wants to do.. its hot and sticky and muggy and i want to sleep again but my mind wont give in..
i have to take sponge baths and i smell pretty badly.. a friend recently talk with me about the smell of perspiration based on hormones..i really smell pretty badly. i want to do so many things and cant get my butt off the couch... i cant really read the paper..
i dont want to think about work...
my arm is swollen and hurts..i dont want to wear the sling around the house but the doctor told me to wear it.. maybe there was a reason.. i guess i should elevate my arm..and kepp it in the sling..
i am dehydrated and puffy... but the operation was successful and the hardware is out
i consider myself fortunate..

last night
i went to sleep after my favorite Iron Chef Mario Batali lost to Anita Lou. I had seen battle mushroom before but forgot who won. It was strange not having 6 feet under to watch on sunday nights.
i woke about every two hours. I took two calm's forte but no tylenol PM. with each waking about every two or three hours. I refused to get out of bed, I just rolled over and went back to bed. I had the TV on so i was getting updates on Hurricaine Katrina.
I dreamed that i ate a load of salmon after the designated period of time that i was allowed to eat. Midnight for me last night or at least 8 hours before my surgery.
i dreamed about the hurricaine.
I got up this morning finally about 9 am... i cant have food or water. I am baking tofu and roasting chickpeas
i callled my doctor's office about my congestion and no one can give me an answer. Their response is that they are not doctors and neither and i am. All i can do is go there and see if they cancel me due to congestion. I took a claritin last night and my nose is more open..
my body is still tired and drained. I dont want to be postponed but i want to report to the doctors accurate information. the Doctor's office told me to call and rescheduled if i am postponed.. I told them i could not make the decision, only the doctors at the hospital could..
so i will shower and shave and walk over later.
i have been watch the impact of the hurricaine most of the morning and its a scary and trecherous and dangerous storm ...

Sharon Osbourne Admits Role In Iron Maiden Sabotage
Posted By Grimmy Acosta on 08.27.05
Gives a new meaning to that whole Unplugged vibe
In a statement released Thursday night, Ozzfest organizer Sharon Osbourne admitted a role in the incident that marred Iron Maiden's August 20 tour performance in Devore, Calif. -- specifically, that she cut off the band's sound on several occasions.
Iron Maiden also was pelted with eggs and debris from the front of the pavilion during its performance, which was its last on the festival's tour. Osbourne did not take responsibility for those actions.
She previously claimed that Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson repeatedly disrespected her husband Ozzy during the tour, and that other Iron Maiden members were ashamed of Dickinson's behavior.
In her new statement, which doubles as an open letter to Maiden manager Rod Smallwood, she said, "For 20 shows we were forced to hear Dickinson's nightly outbursts from the stage: 'When we come back to America, we'll be back with a proper sound system' or 'We won't be playing the same old songs every night (like (Black) Sabbath),' 'We don't need a teleprompter (like Ozzy)' and 'We don't need a reality show to be legit (again, like Ozzy)."'
Sharon Osbourne explained cutting Maiden's power in part by saying, "Was Dickinson so naive to think that I was going to let him get away with talking s**t about my family night after night? I don't think he realizes who he's dealing with." She signed the letter as the "real Iron Maiden."

Iowa man steals leg
DES MOINES, Iowa Aug 26, 2005 — A man test-fitting a $17,000 artificial leg ran off without paying the bill, police said. Spectrum Prosthetics and Orthotics reported the theft of the specially designed leg this week.
Police said the crime happened after the man came in on Aug. 19 to be fitted for the prosthetic.
He "was allowed to take it for a couple hours to ensure that the fit was proper," a police report said.
Top Stories
Sgt. David Murillo said the man didn't come back.
Todd Schweizer, one of the owners of the company, said employees had been working with the man for about a week.
"We were trying to meet his needs," Schweizer said.
The store was left with a cellular telephone number, but no one answers, said Detective Robert Lewis. There also was no answer at the door at an address left by the man.
Lewis said employees may have believed the man was coming back, and that's why they waited five days to report the theft.

An early start on Christmas shopping led to the arrests of three Monroe women in Minden on Tuesday.
Minden police responded to a security call from the Wal-Mart Super Center on Homer Road around 10 p.m. Tuesday. Security observed three women as they allegedly negotiated checks from two closed bank accounts.
Kymekha Shevette Butler, 26, of the 2000 block of Barrington St., Lashaundalyn Renee Whitlock, 18, and Quashaundra L. Whitlock, both of the 100 block of Cedar Crest in Monroe, were observed making large purchases at several registers. The security officer called Minden officers who quickly arrived in time to witness the shoppers putting the items into their vehicles.
Purchases made included Christmas items, toys, clothes and a computer.
According to Minden Police Chief T.C. Bloxom, the women have a lengthy history of this type of crime.
“What made matters worse was the fact that these women had four small children with them at the time of the thefts,” Bloxom said. “It was late and the children were tired. They then had to wait at the police station until their grandmothers came for them.”
Bloxom said the children’s ages ranged from two months to five years.
Bloxom said evidence was found in the suspects’ vehicle indicating that they had committed simular shopping sprees from Monroe to Minden.
The three suspects face charges of felony theft by fraud, conspiracy to commit theft by fraud and four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
4.Security at Wal-Mart, Sunrise Mall reported that Naima Salaam, 32, a cashier at Wal-Mart, Sunrise Mall, took two credit cards from two victims noon, December 7 and failed to return them. She then made transactions with the cards, total loss yet to be determined. Salaam was arrested.
5.. Forgery: Atheries Mann, 44, Chicago; 1:48 p.m. at Wal-Mart, 776 S. Route 59; charged with forgery; and Ronald J. Hood, 44, West Chicago; charged with resisting a police officer and possession of drug paraphernalia; also wanted on a warrant.
6.FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- A Wal-Mart employee was shot and killed on the job Tuesday night.
Roger Handon, 30, was stocking the shelves at the Wal-Mart on Raeford Road in Fayetteville at about 11 p.m. when he got in an argument with a man that ended in gunfire, authorities said.
Handon was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight Wednesday.
Fey Handon learned early Wednesday that her son had been killed.
"His wife called me and said, 'I think Roger is dead. They said he was dead,'" Handon said. "It shocked me. I just started hollering. I didn't want to beleive it."
Cumberland County authorities arrested 27-year-old Johnathon Seymore, of Raeford, and charged him with first-degree murder after he allegedly confessed to the crime.
Investigators said the Handon and Seymore knew each other and the argument may have been domestic-related.
"The victim was shot over where his car was parked over by the employee parking," said Debbie Tanna, spokeswoman for the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. "There was evidence that he tried to go back into the store but never made it."
Authorities said Seymore fired several shots, which were witnessed by nearly a dozen people and recorded by Wal-Mart's security cameras.
Seymore is being held without bond at the Cumberland County Detention Center.
al-Mart issued the following statement regarding Handon's death:
"We are saddened by the death of our associate. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of grief. He was a valued associate, and well liked by all at the store."
Meanwhile, Fey Handon would like to know what prompted her son's slaying.
"I just don't know why that man shot my son," she said. "Why did you want to kill my sonW? Did you have that much death in you? I want to know why."

disconnect and connections....
i went for a walk today and it hit me... its become really clear that the manner i approach people and how i have chose to live my life is indisconnect with the people on my job and WHO i have to be at work and HOW i have to be ....
it just isnt matching... maybe that is why i am not happy
_____________
i was talking to a friend on sunday and telling her that when i was applying to college my dad had just made a job change and how he was working a minimum wage job with two kids going to college.. My dad was brave to change but it caused me to go to a state school
i also went to state school because my HS guidance counsellor told me my SAT scores werent good enough for Brandeis.. I was a teen activist with B'nai B'rith and had lots of extracurricula activities and taught a preschool class but my scores werent good for private school... so i was told
i didnt know any better so i took a shot and applied to salem state and fitchburg state as a back up school. i wanted to study social work but at brandeis i wanted to study Jewish Communal services. I probably would have ended up working in a JCC somewhere. I was telling my firend that i would have been a youth group leader
i went to salem state and got turned on to child welfare. The program at salem allowed me to get my BSW because the program was accredited my sophmore year.. That allowed me to get a one year MSW..
i got into NYU and two days before i was to come.. i had no place to live
within an hour of calling NYU, they found an apartment for me....
i was in NYC... before i knew it.. I was in child welfare
when i was at st josephs and needed to leave before they left me.... My Job at CMS came through...
i was telling my friend that the path always appeared for me when i needed it...
the road was purposeful and i always got what i have needed or what has led me to the next thing..
my work life has unfolded inspite of me
and i trust... it will happen again....just when i need it the most
it just isnt matching... maybe that is why i am not happy

The Unfeeling President
GUESTWORDS: By E.L. Doctorow
The Unfeeling President
I fault this president for not knowing what death is. He does not suffer the death of our 21-year-olds who wanted to be what they could be. On the eve of D-Day in 1944 General Eisenhower prayed to God for the lives of the young soldiers he knew were going to die. He knew what death was. Even in a justifiable war, a war not of choice but of necessity, a war of survival, the cost was almost more than Eisenhower could bear.
But this president does not know what death is. He hasn’t the mind for it. You see him joking with the press, peering under the table for the weapons of mass destruction he can’t seem to find, you see him at rallies strutting up to the stage in shirt sleeves to the roar of the carefully screened crowd, smiling and waving, triumphal, a he-man.
He does not mourn. He doesn’t understand why he should mourn. He is satisfied during the course of a speech written for him to look solemn for a moment and speak of the brave young Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
But you study him, you look into his eyes and know he dissembles an emotion which he does not feel in the depths of his being because he has no capacity for it. He does not feel a personal responsibility for the 1,000 dead young men and women who wanted to be what they could be.
They come to his desk not as youngsters with mothers and fathers or wives and children who will suffer to the end of their days a terribly torn fabric of familial relationships and the inconsolable remembrance of aborted life . . . they come to his desk as a political liability, which is why the press is not permitted to photograph the arrival of their coffins from Iraq.
How then can he mourn? To mourn is to express regret and he regrets nothing. He does not regret that his reason for going to war was, as he knew, unsubstantiated by the facts. He does not regret that his bungled plan for the war’s aftermath has made of his mission-accomplished a disaster. He does not regret that, rather than controlling terrorism, his war in Iraq has licensed it. So he never mourns for the dead and crippled youngsters who have fought this war of his choice.
He wanted to go to war and he did. He had not the mind to perceive the costs of war, or to listen to those who knew those costs. He did not understand that you do not go to war when it is one of the options but when it is the only option; you go not because you want to but because you have to.
Yet this president knew it would be difficult for Americans not to cheer the overthrow of a foreign dictator. He knew that much. This president and his supporters would seem to have a mind for only one thing — to take power, to remain in power, and to use that power for the sake of themselves and their friends.
A war will do that as well as anything. You become a wartime leader. The country gets behind you. Dissent becomes inappropriate. And so he does not drop to his knees, he is not contrite, he does not sit in the church with the grieving parents and wives and children. He is the president who does not feel. He does not feel for the families of the dead, he does not feel for the 35 million of us who live in poverty, he does not feel for the 40 percent who cannot afford health insurance, he does not feel for the miners whose lungs are turning black or for the working people he has deprived of the chance to work overtime at time-and-a-half to pay their bills - it is amazing for how many people in this country this president does not feel.
But he will dissemble feeling. He will say in all sincerity he is relieving the wealthiest 1 percent of the population of their tax burden for the sake of the rest of us, and that he is polluting the air we breathe for the sake of our economy, and that he is decreasing the quality of air in coal mines to save the coal miners’ jobs, and that he is depriving workers of their time-and-a-half benefits for overtime because this is actually a way to honor them by raising them into the professional class.
And this litany of lies he will versify with reverences for God and the flag and democracy, when just what he and his party are doing to our democracy is choking the life out of it.
But there is one more terribly sad thing about all of this. I remember the millions of people here and around the world who marched against the war. It was extraordinary, that spontaneous aroused oversoul of alarm and protest that transcended national borders. Why did it happen? After all, this was not the only war anyone had ever seen coming. There are little wars all over he world most of the time.
But the cry of protest was the appalled understanding of millions of people that America was ceding its role as the last best hope of mankind. It was their perception that the classic archetype of democracy was morphing into a rogue nation. The greatest democratic republic in history was turning its back on the future, using its extraordinary power and standing not to advance the ideal of a concordance of civilizations but to endorse the kind of tribal combat that originated with the Neanderthals, a people, now extinct, who could imagine ensuring their survival by no other means than pre-emptive war.
The president we get is the country we get. With each president the nation is conformed spiritually. He is the artificer of our malleable national soul. He proposes not only the laws but the kinds of lawlessness that govern our lives and invoke our responses. The people he appoints are cast in his image. The trouble they get into and get us into, is his characteristic trouble.
Finally, the media amplify his character into our moral weather report. He becomes the face of our sky, the conditions that prevail. How can we sustain ourselves as the United States of America given the stupid and ineffective warmaking, the constitutionally insensitive lawgiving, and the monarchal economics of this president? He cannot mourn but is a figure of such moral vacancy as to make us mourn for ourselves.

Capricorn Horoscope for week of August 25, 2005
Capricorn Horoscope for week of August 25, 2005
Verticle Oracle card Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Let's discuss the differences between dumb, unproductive pain and smart, useful pain. The former is the kind you keep being drawn back to out of habit. It's familiar, and therefore perversely comfortable. The latter is the kind of pain that surprises you with valuable teachings and inspires you to see the world with new eyes. While stupid pain is often born of fear, wise pain is stirred up by love. The dumb, unproductive stuff comes from allowing yourself to be controlled by your early conditioning and from doing things that are out of harmony with your essence. The smart, useful variety arises out of a willingness to live passionately and with a sense of adventure. Can you guess which type I'm urging you to gravitate toward right now, Capricorn?

Christopher Paolini is an asshole and barnes and noble sucks
my catsitter asked me to go to the paolini book release abd signing for his second book Eldest at the Barnes and Noble at 14th street. on saturday, i walked in to check out the scene and ask questions about the signing..
i went there today, bought the book, got a wristband that entitled me to a seat. I took a seat in the 5th row and i waited.. The book reader Gregory Doyle read and then the author Christopher Paolini took the stage. He is a giggling nerd who thanked his audience and fans. He was arrogant and heady when he announced Fox bought the rights for all three of his books. he talked about creating languages and contriving the story line for the second of the books, eldest. He took questions and was full of himself.
his talk was about being humble, he didnt convey that at all.. he talked of his fans but never showed interest. He seems to be getting off on all the excitement, He talked of booksigning events like he was name dropping.. He presents as an immature, sci fi nerd who is thumbing his nose at all those jocks who got the girls while he marches the bank
the book signing started.. each person was allowed one INscription and could get multiple copies of both books signed..
they went row by row...some people were getting twenty books signed..the lines were moving but when they got near us, the barnes and noble staff informed us that CHristopher would not sign inscriptions. I tried to explain that we were informed that he would and that i would not have waited. I didnt care about the author, i cared about getting the book signed for the teenager that wanted it.
no avail.. i asked Christopher himself who looked at me and answered..."tell her i say hello" ill tell her YOU are an asshole was what i muttered. I moved on complaining
and complained to the Barnes and Noble staff, that the event was the worst that i have experienced and how i felt my expensive time was wasted. I knew he did inscriptions before us, we were told he would and because he had a large turnout, they changed the game plans.
I announced that i didnt care about the author but was doing a favor. i informed the B&N staff that i would publicize how crappy they were and how Paolini' is a hypocrite and how his action really didnt support the words..
even if he had time limits, the staff needed to be honest with the patrons..
there are kids who were waiting for him and he showed no real concern for the people who buy his product.he was more impressed with the buying of the product than teh people
he didnt come across as sincere at all.
he impressed as smart and maybe borrowed his ideas from other novelist who write fantasy literature ( he came so far as to say so)
he didnt reach the average person and there wasnt anything personable about him
Barnes and Noble did a lousy job at the book signing.. people were buying 20 copies to be signed... look to ebay for a signed copy.
people were there for him and i felt he let them down
i wouldnt buy his book or support him in any way..
i guess he is just immature...and unable to handle the fame

a script from the suzi steffen handbook
to whom it may concern:
i am in the market for a new path, the path i have been on has lost it luster and purposefulness. I need new work opportunities that will bring me growth, allow me use my skills and brain, teach me new things, let me feel competent and good about who i am and what i know,
i need something that will be rewarding, fulfilling and more than support my lifestyle. I want to make enough money to keep myself financially secure and place money away for retirement.
i secure city or state job would be nice but i am open to working anywhere . i am open to new locations, new fields, as long as i can apply my knowledge, skill and be rewarded in all aspects.
i have a lot to offer and would love to teach...but i am not sure that is in my future.
the path of my next thing has always been there for me when i need it..
i need direction and instruction and a little help....
i am also putting a word in for suzi... she needs a new job too...
suzi it all up to you... define it and call to the universe for you wishes...
be careful what you wish for..
i challenge you all to do the same... ask for what you wish for..
but you may get it

mi crzy vida
the extra strength tylenol are a temporary remedy to my lack of sleep. I am not really sleeping through the night and when i take 2 EST they make wake up groggy and shaky..last night i took ONE and it really didnt work. They do make me sleepy but they dont help me sleep through the night. i was up every two hours from 10-6. not sleeping all night sucks..
the EST just mixes up my dreams... they are clear when i am dreaming them and when i wake up i lose them
i know that my dreams have been a mixture of dar, work, hedwig ( i watched it saturday) all the strings of my life as well as anxiety dreams. the pressure of my recent work stress and the pending surgery have creeped into my dream...they all seem like a jumble now and may be ill recapture them..
the Tylenol resembles anestesia and maybe that is creeping into my dream. They are distorted and jumbled.
i didnt get enough sleep and need more and will take two tylenol tonight..
