Mindfulness.  Because that’s what he’s really interested in… If you’re like me you probably have at least one, if not two cheap harmonicas lying in the bottom of your closet or in the back of a drawer someplace.  When you see them you take them out of the box, lick your lips, wail unskillfully until you’re out of breath,...

It was one of the most successful contests we’ve had, which leads me to believe that people are hungry for this kind of information. I’m no exception. I am fascinated with people that seem to be positive and have “lucky” things happen. As we know, however, luck is simply working with your life to get the best outcome. But how do you make that happen? Make This Your Lucky Day offers a combination of Feng Shui, astrology, and positive thinking to tell you how to make the most of your life. It is set up as a guide book, with chapters divided into things like career, romance, health, and wealth. You can read the entire book or simply head to the chapter that interests you mos...

One took exception to the "delusion" that the positions of heavenly bodies in "arbitrary" constellations could have any effect on personality. The other took exception to the idea that he would share general characteristics with other people born in an arbitrary [...] (Source: ThirdAge Blog) ThirdAge Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1041964 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 07:57:42 +0100 1041964 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1025532&cid=t_103940_158_f&fid=36043&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.thirdage.com%2F%3Fp%3D1168 I recently read an article in which the author wondered, in essence, whether the seeming accuracy of astrology might be due to the phenomenon of self-fulfilling prophecies. That is, you expect something to happen, so it does. One of my answers to that is partly yes–and that can be a good thing or a bad [...] (Source: ThirdAge Blog) ThirdAge Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1025532 Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:00:57 +0100 1025532 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1010681&cid=t_103940_158_f&fid=36043&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.thirdage.com%2F%3Fp%3D1164 One of my old astrology books has a quote from Carl Jung to the effect that astrology deserves respect if for no other reason than because it represents the human understanding of psychology before science.  There are various systems of astrology and each, I suppose, does represent some of the primal understandings its culture has about human [...] (Source: ThirdAge Blog) ThirdAge Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1010681 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:00:52 +0100 1010681 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=993412&cid=t_103940_158_f&fid=36043&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.thirdage.com%2F%3Fp%3D1158 In my chart right now, I have 7 (count ‘em 7) transits, progressions, or solar return aspects affecting the astrological markers for hormones and female identity.

In a way, the current transit of Saturn through Virgo (which lasts a little over two years) offers great opportunities for the boomer generation.

In ancient times, eclipses were considered by astrologers to be harbingers of dreadful events, but fortunately, in fact, they rarely are. Eclipses or partial eclipses of the sun and/or moon occur regularly.

I applaud you!If only for entertainment purposes, check out Behe's last book, "the edge of evolution", or better yet, just read dawkin's review. oh snap:"I had expected to be as irritated by Michael Behe's second book as by his first. I had not expected to feel sorry for him. The first — "Darwin's Black Box" (1996), which purported to make the scientific case for "intelligent design" — was enlivened by a spark of conviction, however misguided. The second is the book of a man who has given up. Trapped along a false path of his own rather unintelligent design, Behe has...

You know the kind of studies I am talking about. They are usually observational studies purporting to show a relationship between two things (e.g., eating lemons and having blond hair). These studies are ubiquitous and often garner headlines. Some of them have even earned space on TDWI, but hopefully always with the caveat that the studies are not the gold standard in research, that is, the randomized controlled clinical trial.The Economist article describes a presentation to the American Association for the Advancement of Science b...
