To try out a steady diet of Planet Waves, this trial offer of one free month gets you eight helpings of Planet Waves per month, published on Tuesdays and Fridays.
I agree with you Aword; it’s got to be about keeping it as real as possible. When he said in the video about coping with facing possible death, he looked and asked the journalist “Do you know what that is?” The honesty and directness of the question caught my attention.
To have stared at possible or certain death and then be given the chance to transcend that experience and take your life back. It’s something to behold. I wish them continued courage to cope with it all and that their collective spirit is maintained.
– and shebear – thanks too for posting that bit from bbc. Let’s hope they can keep the story real; what it’s really about, what they really thought about and went through. Now, while their voices are fresh.
Really really thought provoking stimulating article Eric. Thanks and more thanks.
and more ;-*
Amanda,
Ya, I was impressed that previous to rescue they had considered the pros and cons of the “hollywood deals” that would beset them, and made a gentlemen’s agreement that all would share and share alike.
a very cool part of this unfolding story.
;-*
did I get the PW kissy face right? :+D

Just saw this on the BBC site.
It’s one of the Chilean miners venting about what he experienced and rightly bloody so.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-11556261
Is anybody going to listen?
If the President of Chile can set an example re. mining regulations and standards, it would be a good place to start. It has to start somewhere and surely right away.
Yin energy is coming to the surface from deep within each and everyone of us. Enough with the bullying and greed and ignorance, be it in the schoolyard, the corporate board rooms, the judicial system, church institutions, blah blah blah. Surely is now time to get reconnected and heal and transform.
This guy brought tears to my eyes all over again.
Great article btw Eric. Loved it.
aword —
just read the article. definitely has some very interesting information! including a couple more mine accidents (w/ far fewer people) in the last couple days…
Here is a fabulously glamorous look behind the scenes of this morning’s editing session with Anatoly. The edits are done via IM, and there are about 100 to 300 per issue that happen between Thursday night and Friday morning. They are corrections, clarifications, expansions of text, technical edits…this does not include straight proofreading, which is done by Amanda and Jessica in another process. Both also do a basic level of fact checking, which includes verifying all proper names and locations. Amanda suggests clarifications of language and ideas. Some editions are read in advance by more than 20 people before being seen by the public, in the case of the 9/11 edition by two psychologists to assess the impact of the presentation, and to refine if necessary. I stand in as photo editor, sometimes assisted by Sarah in Blue Studio, who is our photo librarian and prop master. Three different researchers assisted me with the article; this is how I pull it together in one day.
The editing format is:
old text
=
new text
This process can move quite rapidly and is all the more impressive in that Anatoly is a native Ukranian/Russian speaker who learned most of his English or as we call it, Engrish, working for Planet Waves the past six years.
This symbol: :-* translates to “kissy face,” something of the Planet Waves behind the scenes greeting.
For many reasons we don’t use a content management system — mainly because we are creating a straight HTML page that has to be coded simply enough to be picked up by our mailer (which is Dada Mail) and then read accurately by all of millions of mail readers and mail systems. We don’t use a prefab page template; we do use CSS. That is why our emailed pages look better than any other one you get.
In this transcript, I am “ethos” and he is “anatoly.”

All of these stories are illustrated by Pluto in Capricorn: our relationship to what is happening deep within a solid substance (mountains, canyons, rocky land or the continental plates). Pluto can represent some immutable or unstoppable force moving beneath the crust of the Earth, such as the movement of the plates and geological faults.

An example to embrace:
“Chile miners do not disclose ordeal detailsChile miners do not disclose ordeal details”
” The first three rescued Chilean miners out of the hospital celebrated their new lives as national heroes Friday, as word emerged that the 33 want to closely guard their story so they can fairly divide the spoils of their media stardom.”

There are other/better articles, perhaps. However, I enjoy finding this stuff on Yahoo – ’cause that’s a source wherein news is goes out to the masses.

I don’t have an article on planetary returns — except for big ones like Saturn. That is a return with a completely different flavor than any other planet that returns.
Oh– if you google chiron+return with my name you will find some stuff.
I have not done inner planet returns — yet

A former journalist colleague of mine was down for the rescue. He joked that there were more media than family present.
On another note: Do you have an article somewhere about planets returning to the postions in one’s natal chart: like, say, vesta and mars? Though it doesn’t have to be that specific. Curious.
Thanks.
