Love Star Signs - Is Your Star Sign Compatibility Match With Ophiuchus

constellation
Constellations

Image by ♆ Stephen ♆
The Leicia-Walker constellation as seen from the 'Water Barrel'.

There is a distinct buzz echoing around at the moment. It began in the astrology zone but its resonance can now be heard across the cosmos.

Astrology as we all know is the study of the stars and the planets and the effect that they have upon our lives. There have long and often been debates over the disputed claim of whether they can predict our future. Now it is suddenly the hot topic for discussion once more.

This is all due to a man named Parke Kunkle who teaches astronomy at the Minneapolis Community and Technical College, he told NBC in an interview that the way that we view the stars and the constellations has to be changed. According to Kunkle the change has come about due to a wobble in the earth's axis which means it is not in the same place that it was 3000 years ago when the constellations were first allocated names and placed into what is now our zodiac.

This shifting of our planet has left a hole in the cosmos. Do not panic, it's not a black hole as apparently this hole can be filled with another, new, star sign!

Star sign number 13 is to be called Ophiuchus and it sits between Scorpio and Sagittarius in the heavens.

Ophiuchus is not new he was around at the beginning of the zodiac along with the other 49 original constellations. These were whittled down by the Babylonians, first to 18 and then into the 12 that we are all familiar with.

Ophiuchus was known in the time of the Babylonians as Serpentarius the snake holder and the name comes from the Greek word meaning serpent-bearer.

The new sign of Ophiuchus will be placed into the solar chart to cover the period between Nov.29 and Dec.17 which means that Sagittarius will have to budge up to the right a bit to make room for him and will now cover the period between Dec 17 to Jan 20.

Likewise all of the star signs will have to make a similar move to accommodate our snake-carrying friend. Obviously the twelve signs that we know and love and that previously held a duration of around 30 days each are going to be whittled down somewhat. This means that some of the star signs will be only 3 weeks in duration while oddly enough Pisces, Leo and Taurus have a longer time in the proverbial wicket with a total of 38 days each. Virgo has the best deal with 44 days and poor old Scorpio is now only allowed to play for 7 days in total.

The personality traits of this new pretender Ophiuchus are that he is intelligent and honest and full of sexual magnetism. Now, as positive traits go they don't sound too bad but as it is Sagittarius that is going to have to take on the Ophiuchus label and traits, I wonder how the old archer feels about losing his own traits of being very positive, popular, big hearted and a great listener.

Of course it is not only Sagittarius that is affected. We must all take on the personalities of the star sign immediately to our left. So Capricorn is the new Sagittarius, Aquarius takes over the mantle of Capricorn and so on. I am Pisces and although I was born on the cusp and so already share some of my personality traits with Aquarius I am not happy at being told that I have to give up many of the Pisces traits that I like. Sure there are some things I might like to change, which makes me wonder if maybe it can be done as a sort of mix and match where we swop the traits we dislike with ones that we prefer?

Interestingly, this may have an effect upon all those people who disclaim the power of astrology. In the US, 25% of the population are believers in astrology which means that there must also be a large amount who sit on the fence. You know the type. 'Non-believers' who covertly read their star signs? They claim not to know anything about star signs but they know the personality traits that accord with their sign and probably which signs they are compatible with too. Well I wonder if these non-believing Leo's are going to discard their Lion status and happily take on the ways of the Crab? Are the diplomatic Librans going to be happy to suddenly become Virgo?

What of star sign compatibility? Our love star signs are now going to be different. Are we now going to find ourselves attracted to a completely different type of personality?

Will we suddenly find that we have nothing in common with our love partners?

Could this change of personality be sited as grounds for divorce?

Then of course there are the people that have really committee to their star sign by having a body tattoo. Is there going to be a rush to the laser treatment surgeries for removal of the now erroneous sign or perhaps a good tattoo artist can mask the Sagittarius into Scorpio?

No one can predict how it is going to go but you can be sure of one thing…there will be a lot more discussion to come on this subject.

Here is the new Zodiac chart:

Capricorn: Jan.20 – Feb.16

Aquarius: Feb.16 – March 11

Pisces: March 11 - April 18

Aries: April 18 – May 13

Taurus: may 13 – June

The importance of the gear you obtain, for your hiking adventures is a consideration that should be thought over, with an emphasis on Quality and Performance. Having been on hiking excursions throughout my life on numerous occasions, and not paying enough attention to the hiking shoes I was Sporting, I now realize was a big mistake. Why? You ask; because of the sore, aching, wet wrinkled feet, I had to endure for the duration of some of my hikes.
The main reason I think, we sometimes purchase inferior gear for our trekking ventures, are the costs associated with; and lack of knowledge of what is available out there. I used to purchase brands, from the large company names, that diversify their product line to such an extent, that they have to outsource their manufacturing to another country, for cheaper Labor, and production costs. There is more than one problem, with a company that has an emphasis just on making Profit, their product suffers, our economy suffers, and were stuck buying the same product in a year or two, when we could have spent a few more Dollars, for a superior product that will last for years.
I recently purchased a Pair of MERRELL BUNGEE CORDS, after researching the market and finding out what is available, that is made in the United States, and is affordable and of good quality, I was stumped. All that said lets stick to quality and affordability as the main emphasis, as well as Merrells continued support, to outdoor organizations, that preserve the extreme environments we as hikers endear. Since price is such an issue in todays economy, I believe we can say MERRELL has accomplished both of these attributes in the creation of their Hiking Boots and Shoes.
Merrell Women's Siren Ventilator Hiking Shoes, Merrell Men's Pivot Lace Sport Light Hiking Shoes, Merrell Men's Pivot Trail Running Shoes, Merrell Men's Moab Ventilator Multi-Sport Shoes, are just some examples, of the selection youll find when you link through our site.

Gas Well Production Optimization


Outlaw Automation Inc Has an interesting set of tools designed to run in the Fisher ROC products to enhance production using plunger and/or timers. The program offers a number of different control modes designed to achieve maintaining, or increasing in production. Depending on the mode selected, control functions utilize timers, gas flow rate, well pressure, plunger arrival data or a combination thereof.

The Time On/Off and Plunger Control - Fixed Timers modes are the only selections that will result in definite well on and off times. All other modes will result in a variable on time, a variable off time, or both variables on and off times. Times will vary based on the characteristics of the well and the entered setpoints.

For a FloBoss 103 with the 4-point I/O board the only I/O configuration detail of note is that the DIN Type should be set to Standard. The Accumulated Value parameter is monitored to determine if the plunger has arrived. For a FloBoss 103 with a 6-point I/O board more configurations may be required. If a plunger arrival sensor is connected to a DI point then that DI point must have its DIN Type set to Standard and the Plunger Sensor TLP on the CONFIG screen must be defined as that DI point.

Logic to control the ESD valve is built into the optimization program and operates independently of the password-protected well optimization functions.

In a sample application of Gas Flow Rate vs. Time for a typical gas well that has been shut in for a period of time, and then opened to flow - Pressure has built up during the shut-in time and the well is able to generate a high initial flow rate as the gas flows out of the tubing string. There is sufficient flow to maintain a slug of liquid and bring it to the surface, or a plunger if it has been installed. The Gas Flow Rate drops significantly as the slug of liquid arrives at the wellhead and recovers once the liquid has passed or the plunger has arrived. The Gas Flow Rate will then slowly decline as pressure drops or the well begins to load. The well is shut in when the flow drops below the Critical Flow Set point.

When in Critical Flow mode the Critical Flow set point will determine the length of time the well will stay open after the well unloads. If Plunger Arrival is being monitored then the Post Plunger Sales Time Preset (PPST) will determine the length of time the well will stay open after the plunger arrives.

The Time on bypass time should be set at a value slightly greater than that required for unloading of liquids and/or should allow enough time for the plunger to arrive. A short Time on bypass time may result in premature shut-in of the well.

The Emergency Shut Down (ESD) logic, if purchased as an option, is written into the optimization program and will operate without the optimization program authorization code. The optimization control may not be started if an ESD condition exists.If an ESD condition occurs in an off cycle then the program operation will continue as usual. If the ESD condition persists at the end of the off cycle the program will hold at the start of the on cycle. If an ESD condition occurs in an on cycle then the program will hold until the condition is cleared and the ESD bypass timer has expired if ESD logic is built-in.

Optimization Modes:

1 Time on/Time Off - This mode provides automatic On/Off control of well flow using timer setpoints entered by operator. The cycle may be started in either the On or Off time cycle. The Time On counter will start when the program is activated if the Start flag is set to one.

2 Critical Flow vs. Time Off - This mode provides automatic On/Off control based on a critical flow set point and a fixed time off period. The amount of time that the valve will be open will vary depending on the characteristics of the well. Plunger is optional with this mode. The cycle is started in the on or off time according to the Start Position.

3 Critical Flow vs. Casing - Enhanced On/Off control utilizing well pressure. A Plunger is not required. Use of critical flow allows the on time to vary according to the wells ability to produce gas. Use of casing static delta pressure being less than the set point is included because if a well becomes loaded with liquid when it is flowing, the casing pressure may become considerably greater than the static pressure (DP increases because liquid prevents gas flow up the tubing). If the casing and static pressures are equalized during the shut-in period then this may be considered as a safe condition to resume flow.

4 Static Differential Pressure - Enhanced On/Off control utilizing well pressure. A plunger is not required. Use of critical flow allows the on time to vary according to the wells ability to produce gas. Use of casing static delta pressure being greater than the set point is included because as a well builds pressure during the shut-in time the casing pressure may become considerably higher than the static pressure. When the well is opened to flow the high casing pressure may aid in lifting liquids

elevation 10 Best Cocktails During 1940s

wprobot module="Flickr" keyword="cocktails" start="1" num="1"



The 1940s was an era of distinction from fashion styles to music trends and varied parties. Cocktails were among important parts to build an iconic era. Now, let's take top ten best cocktails in this period.


 Manhattan


The Manhattan or Dry Manhattan is one special kind of cocktail. People can make a perfect Manhattan with an ounce of vermouth (half sweet vermouth and half dry vermouth) and two ounces of rye works. Besides, using proper amount of ice to chill the liquid is really important. The Manhattan must be stirred or spooned rather than shaken because when you shake it, the Vermouth will cloud.


The Manhattan combines 1/3 French (dry) Vermouth, 2/3 rye whiskey and a dash of Angostura bitters stirred in cracked ice


Peach in Champagne


Peach in champagne, also called white-peach purée and Prosecco, was allegedly invented by Giuseppe Cipriani from Harry’s Bar in Venice ranging from the late ’30s to 1948. The cocktail is easy to prepare by placing one ripe white peach in a glass filled with ice-cold Champagne and fizzing it for a minute before drinking.


Only seeing the peach in champagne, you may immediately want to drink it



Aristocrat Sparkling Punch


Making an Aristocrat Sparkling Punch that was created in Sep. 1941 is extremely complicating. Firstly, dissolve a cube sugar in one cup of sparkling water (from a quart) and pour it into a punch bowl. Secondly, add one bottle Burgundy and 4 ounces brandy to the bowl and stir well. Thirdly, place a block of ice in the bowl and pour in 2 bottles Champagne and the rest of the sparkling water. Finally, garnish the top of this liquid with strawberries or raspberries.


The cocktail looks eye-catching


Sloppy Joe’s Mojito


Sloppy Joe’s Mojito is a favored cocktail from Sloppy Joe’s Bar, one of three most famous Havana watering holes during Prohibition. The ingredients making a cup of Mojito include fresh mint, jigger light rum, ice and soda.


The cocktail is particularly preferred by those who like mint



Tequila Cocktail


Mexico, a popular exotic travel destination, is home to Tequila recipes. The Tequila cocktail was invented in Jan. 1949 with a mixture of ice cubes, juice, sugar and tequila. Tourists visiting this country often ask for the famous drink.


Tequila is at its best if it is not too diluted


Bridge Punch


Bridge Punch invented in June 1943 combines fresh mint, sugar, black tea, brandy, orange juice and grapefruit


Jack Rose Cocktail


A cup of Jack Rose Cocktail combines 1 ½ ounces applejack, 1/2 ounce grenadine and the juice of 1/2 lime


Bijou Cocktail


Making a glass of Bijou Cocktail needs 3/4 full of ice, 1 jigger gin and ½ ounce each of sweet vermouth and green Chartreuse


Phoebe Snow


Phoebe Snow is a mixture of brandy, Dubonnet and a dash of Absinthe


 Cugat Congo


Jigger Bacardi white rum, jigger Grenadine, juice and Absinthe are ingredients to make a Cugat Congo

The Best Way To Cook Your Freshly Caught Fish

 



A freshly caught fish can be cooked in a thousand and one ways. Any fisherman worth his salt has his own unique way of cooking a freshly caught trout, salmon or whatever fish he caught. So fisherman all across the country has been handed down methods of cooking fish. Here are some tips to get the best out of your fish.

1.Frying

Breading and frying a freshly caught fish is as good as it gets. The smell of butter emanating from the frying pan and the flair a fisherman puts in flipping his catch is worth its weight in gold, almost. For the novice fisherman, make sure that the butter is extra hot but not yet burning. Also, make sure that the fish is well coated in batter. Season your batter to your heart's content, salt and pepper never goes wrong. You may want to try other herbs and spices with the batter for a more delicious fish.

2.Grilling

At first glance, grilling would seem to be the easiest way to handle your fish. A newbie might assume that grilling fish is the same as grilling steaks or burgers. Unlike fowl or cattle, fish tends to secret most of its own juices when cooked. On a grill the delicious juice drips into the coals.

To prevent losing the moisture, first coat the fish with oil. The oil will seal a part of the moisture inside. Second, keep an eye on the fillets and turn them as soon as a cut would reveal that the fresh fish is cooked halfway through. After being flipped, watch the fish carefully. Remove the fish as soon as it is cooked through.

An option to basting the fish with oil is to wrap it in aluminum foil. The aluminum foil will keep the moisture and marinate the fish in its own moisture. Placing herbs and spices inside the foil with the fish enhances the grilling process and the fish itself.

3.Baking

Baking is the best option for the fisherman who does not want to watch over the fish during cooking. The fisherman can prepare the marinade and pre-heat the oven, then pop the fish into the oven for a predetermined amount of time. You may want to check on the fish from the time to time, ensuring that you don't overcook the fish.

Whatever fish you caught, a good recipe and proper cooking will for sure enhance the catch. Take time to prepare for cooking, a badly cooked fish will no doubt spoil your day. Remember the first rule of cooking, don't overcook your fish.

Juicing For Your Blood Type

[embed link="none"]http://www.hulu.com/watch/300595[/embed]

Ever wonder why a particular diet works great for some people but not others? Well now we know! Finnish scientists recently discovered that molecules which cover the surface of blood cells and determine each person�s blood type are energized by different nutrients. In other words, certain foods are better suited to certain blood types. Thus, eating � and juicing - according to your blood type can be effective in lowering weight, boosting energy, and relieving GI problems.

Eating according to your blood type has been an intriguing theory for decades as presented in the book, Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type by Peter D�Adamo, N.D. This article briefly reviews the foods that are best for each blood type, with a particular emphasis on fruits and vegetables and juicing recipes.

There are 4 blood types: O, A, B, and AB. Type O is the �oldest� blood type according to D�Adamo�s theory, set in our genes when we first emerged as hunter-gatherers. Type O�s have the hardiest digestive systems which consume mostly meat. Type A people come from the later development of agrarian society which adapted for the optimum digestion of all kinds of plant food. Type B folks are descended from nomadic people who raised herds and adapted to eating both plants and meat. Type AB arose most recently in our evolutionary history with digestive systems with both A and B blood type characteristics.

Type O�s do best with a high protein and low carb diet. Their digestive systems need lean animal protein for optimal health along with certain fruits and vegetables, but only a minimum of carbohydrates. Since their digestive systems are high in acid, coffee and processed sugar is to be avoided. Rigorous exercise makes O�s feel at their best. Foods that don�t do well with O�s are: wheat, corn, beans, cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, avocado, eggplant, mushrooms, olives, potatoes, mustard greens, sugar, bacon, ham, and pork, caviar, lox, herring, and octopus, cashews, peanuts, pistachios, dairy, cereals, pasta, oranges, melon, strawberries, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, vanilla, vinegar, ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles, coffee, distilled liquor, all soda, and black tea.

The best ingredients for Type O juices are cherries, leafy greens (particularly kale, spinach, and broccoli), bananas, blueberries, figs, mangos, and plums. The sugars naturally found in these fruits and vegetables combined with their alkalinity will not increase the acidity in the type O constitution. Here are some great juice recipes for O�s:

20 cherries, pitted
1 stalk celery
1 leaf kale

2 mangos, with skins, without seed
1 banana, remember not to juice bananas as they will clog your juicer � blend them
1 spear broccoli

People with type A blood have a less hardy digestive system, and don�t process meat well. They do best with vegetables and fruits as well as whole grains, tofu, and legumes. Animal protein and dairy products tend to rot and ferment in their digestive tracts, and the toxic bacteria backs up into their tissues and muscles, causing digestive distress. Type A�s have less hydrochloric acid in their stomachs which is why they do not properly absorb Vitamin B12 which is found in red meat, although B12 is also found in vegetable protein foods such as Spirulina, soy, and seaweed.

The best exercise is not a vigorous workout, but rather calming, centering exercises like Tai Chi, Hatha Yoga and golfing. Type A�s should avoid meat, dairy, sugar, white and whole wheat flour, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut, safflower and sesame oil, brazil nuts, cashews, pistachios, garbanzo, kidney, lima, navy, red beans, tamarind beans, cereals, pasta, cabbage, eggplant, lima beans, mushroom, olives, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, yams, bananas, coconuts, mangoes, melon, oranges, papayas, plantains, rhubarb, tangerines, gelatin, pepper, vinegar, wintergreen, ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles, pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, beer, distilled liquor, seltzer water, all sodas, and black tea.

The best Type A foods are berries, figs, plums, avocado, pears, peaches, broccoli, carrots, collard greens, kale, spinach, garlic, soy products, pineapple, and only moderate amounts of fish and poultry. Type A folks do really well digesting grains and beans such as green beans, black beans, black-eyed peas, lentils, and soy. Snack on nuts and seeds.

3 cups pineapple
1 pear
2 leaves kale

5 carrots
2 spear broccoli
1 thumb ginger

People with blood type B have very tolerant digestive systems. They do well with meat, plant, and dairy foods with only a few exceptions. D�Adamo highly suggests that type B�s eat turkey rather than chicken because the later has a protein that directly interferes with type B metabolism. They should avoid corn, buckwheat, lentils, peanuts, and sesame seeds, as these foods will tend to make them gain weight. Just like the Type O's, Type B's tend to have a problem with wheat products and nuts.

Foods that are particularly good for B�s besides red meat and turkey are liver, eggs, seafood, especially deep ocean fish such as cod and salmon, flounder, halibut, sole, licorice tea, soy products, olive and flaxseed oil, oatmeal and puffed rice. Foods to avoid are corn, lentils, black-eyed peas, garbanzo beans, p
