Psychic Predictions and Astrology for 2009
First Impression: The words that came for 2009 were “…a river of blood, a river of change”. The potential for bloodshed, big earth changes and revolution show up in 2009. Change is transformational: major change keeps on coming, like a river rolling along, changing the landscape, depositing people in new places.
Perhaps one difference between difficult times in the past and today, is that we’re aware of technological breakthroughs that make it evident we can innovate to success. Positive directions will be in sight.
Divinations
Numerology: 2009 is a “two” year, and will be full of dualities, for instance in the U.S., we’ll go back and forth between transformation (the Obama agenda) and dealing with the past (trials, wars). The extreme volatility of the stock market is another “2″ feature, and likely reaches a bottom. Lifestyle and domain changes can be extreme. Some boundaries change, or try to.
In numerology, 2 and 9 break down to two numbers: 2 and 11. (Eleven is considered a master number, so you don’t break it down.) In an “eleven” year, mastery is on display. Individuals can better manage their own lives now, and in the U.S., masterful people are at the helm and immediately take the country in a better direction, despite great frustrations.
“Eleven” also connotes spiritual growth, and this year many feel they are gaining mastery over their own selves. A lot of people are feeling healed. There’s a big wave of people who are feeling a lot better about where they’re going and what they’re doing in life. Successful action marks the year– in it, a lot of people get set up for future success, and find it’s easier to align their heart, mind, and will.
The Speaking Stones: The stones mystified me. I believe they were portraying a disorganized landscape, like an earthquake, or the ultimate disorganization of some collective body, like a revolution. The Speaking Stones’ reflection of destabilizing and transformative circumstances in 2009 fit various scenarios already in the air: earthquakes in Yellowstone, economic collapse, (and Europe looking more affected than the U.S.); border changes, war.
The Oh Cards: There were many images that showed the same
It may be a little late, but Elissa Heyman can work with you all year long if toy like. I just got permission to include her newsletter here. If you read on you will note that she has been in the business of helping people for a very long time, some since 1979. In addition to years of experience, she also offers amny different approaches to helping you learn about your path, spirituality, and a bigger viewpoint beyond ourselves. Make sure to visit her site too. Thanks, and may your year be filled with adventure.
The Oh Cards: There were many images that showed the same thing, a striking contrast between the soaring spirit of people, their hope, and the state of the world at the moment. One image for America portrayed its renewed spirit and the Obama agenda: It’s a big traffic light hanging over a beautiful highway, and the light’s green and flashing “go”–there’s a straightforward way clearly laid out for things to work. And all around the edges of this beautiful scene are different threats.
Gifts from Outer Space: New concepts, originating from some alien intelligence, seed the air with ideas about how to orchestrate and harmonize larger systems, giving us inspiration to change how we deliver energy and maintain power. There’s the impression that on other planets, there’s some kind of grid and everyone’s plugged into it, and certain amenities are just taken for granted: that people have the right to power, and there’s not such a profit structure around it.
The Earth: Better growing methods are introduced and greater respect shown for the earth. There is more community activity. Wildlife need help from humans more than any other life on earth. (A high-rated charity is www.wwf.org.)
Out in the world: It’s very difficult for the United States to see how they can achieve the goals of balance and effect real change–a way is not provided at first, as if at first some serious you-know-what has to go down. The President of France does have to be careful — he could still be a target. Morocco is in some circumstance that it should wait and see what develops…different people come forward, routes change, and an alliance with another place strengthens systems of delivering things. Alaska’s position will improve: it is destined to benefit from something useful there but not yet realized, and to get more integrated with the rest of the country. There’s still the idea of California getting rescued, something working out for California…California gets bailed out; and if there were any earth changes that affected part of the state, it would get relief. Women come to the forefront whom have the knowledge and healing ways that are needed now.
Heart Openings: There’s a growing and perceptible change in peoples’ attitude towards each other and a greater spirit of cooperation –this is what makes all the difference in the world. Maybe that’s why the prescient Mayans named this time, “when consciousness surpasses technology.” This is when things get interesting– when it becomes apparent that human evolution is a matter of being able to feel more and receive more love– and to give. A mass of hearts open amidst the rubble and chaos and hard realities that litter 2009.
Personal Guidance for 2009:
At all costs, conserve your energy. Choose peace over power.
If you decide to have a good time this year…well, you certainly can! Creativity is off the hook, and ideas abound–that’s one reason it’s hard to get really depressed about how bad things might look. Expect to have a very good time in 2009, seek what fulfills you, and you shall find it.
2009 Psychic Messages for the Astrological Signs
Read your Sun, Moon, and Rising Signs
Note: Element messages for the year are in December’s newsletter.This is the corrected Water Sign message from the Mayan New Year predictions: Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): It’s a very complicated path this year that leads to a peaceful state, involving many internal shifts, but you do get to the place where you feel at peace and happy. You’re very much helped by new information and new technology. There’s a lot of grace to this year, a lot of changes but they are smooth or there’s an order or a sense of orderliness, and you do make it to a comfortable place. This year you are dealing more with what you do know, with what is already on the table–rather than with unknowns that disrupt things. In other words, your work is cut out for you.
Aries: You modernize this year: You get into new markets and use more technology to work with your god-given talents. Partnerships serve social, personal, and professional needs– this is an interesting, highly creative year for collaborations. The part you do is not the final step or end product. Be your own authority and trust your creative instincts. Only be willing to be complicated and intense with creative projects, not relationships. Proceed with authority doing what you see fit; your decisions are good because they’re grounded in self-knowledge.
Taurus: The truer understanding you have of yourself and those you love create a change in your relationships and possibly location this year. You are surrounded by the creative spirit but an idea doesn’t quite land, or the full form does not quite manifest at this time–there’s still a debate about what to do, where exactly to direct your energy. You’re not ready yet, but keep on engaging with creative energy, and exploring it. Do not judge yourself according to financial measures of success, or insist that this be a fruitful year in terms of material gain. It’s much better to put energy into making yourself more potent, more creative and spontaneous, and more willing to do new things. Re staying in balance: even more than the last couple of years, your body will need more exercise and maintenance to stay relaxed, flexible and fit. It’s well worth the effort!
Gemini: Be careful this year of overextending yourself or trying to do too much. Everything can still be great and you can take it a little easier. This year, you’re hard at work and right in the middle of your interesting plans and strategies. Everything is on course, because it looks like you’re engaged in what is most true-to-you to do. Even difficult circumstances seem to end you up in a place you can appreciate. You’re happy about where and how you end up in 2009.
Cancer: You may feel you made a mistake in some area, or created a loss for yourself. Perhaps an expectation was not reached. On the other hand, you’ll have some of the most fun times in 2009 with either your work or your significant others. This could be a very high year of experiences that are really like a happier, higher level of your prior experiences. You would see a way to do something that really turns you on–you get backing for something. You may be surprised at how fun this year is.
Leo: 2009 flower reading: This year you will expect a lot, you have delivered a lot, and a lot will be expected of you. You are putting all your cards on the table, letting people know how creative you are and what you can do. You act more maturely, enjoying the challenge of your responsibilities. You are in service this year, but you’re also living it up! Last but not least, you are leaving behind what didn’t work. Tarot: In some way, you are dealing with a difficult situation that you have to think your way out of …something might force you to abandon some goals, some directions, and look to others.
Virgo: Grace enters your life in some profound way. It would be very difficult to think of this year as anything but a success, even though you may be stressed to the max before you succeed. There’s more of a strain in your life in the beginning of the year, Success comes through doing new things, your relationships, new environments, and new directions. Relationships are very important to your well-being this year, and you’re very important to other people. You have to traverse a certain distance for more material success, and must help yourself now and get support to get to a better place. What you lack is not important, only to hang in there and go further than you ever have before, feeling life is better, richer, and more rewarding.
Libra: You get into more joyful circumstances this year, but you do have to make moves to make this happen. Even though you have to be pro-active and recognize and take opportunities, Divine Providence also operates in your life this year. You may find yourself going back and forth between locations; in some way there’s a consideration of changing domains. It could be that with your creativity you need a different venue that appreciates it and will pay for it. There’s something that you’re outgrowing, and are moving towards more money for whatever it is you do–and you are now delivering a lot more for the money that people pay you. You need to spread out and see where else you can operate or perform.
Scorpio: A lot of light comes into the lives of Scorpios in 2009, and even so, there can be the profound end of things. What needs to grow is light in your life, and this might involve quite a change in circumstances can be quite changing. Changes happen when partnerships and alliances are strong, so there is support through change. You receive deep insight, a knowing you didn’t have; there’s tremendous movement within you. Never underestimate yourself…you are reborn this year! Opportunity comes that answers a lot of questions, that really works for you.
Sagittarius: You are forgiven, if you’re feeling guilty about something. There’s no need to be punished, the difficulty you’ve had is enough. You get new chances, and there are better arrangements up ahead. You appear to have no past, no karma…2009 is an in-the-present, opportunistic, inspired and positive time because of what comes your way. You do get opportunities, or have a big brainstorm about what you can do or start. You get a chance to start something new, to begin in a new place and you really like where it goes and the people you meet because of it. Financial opportunity comes when you have a wider view of where you can end up.
Capricorn: 2009 is a clarifying year, and you emerge a finer person. It can be a super-creative and rich time, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re making a lot of money. You’re going to figure out whatever you need to satisfy yourself and deal with reality. In order for you to be happy, you make decisions that make waves…even so, make those decisions for your own happiness, so that things work for you. It’s time to go out of your comfort zone in some way, and you could travel to faraway places. Avoid taking chances or speculating in the beginning of the year. If you’re trying to expand professionally, be patient…it’s likely that trying to expand now would take more energy than it’s worth. This year’s different…enjoy it!!
Aquarius: You benefit in 2009 the moment the Sun goes into your sign: your birthday year begins with a tremendously fortunate astrological aspect meaning you get very clear directions about the right path this year, your new beginnings are blessed, and you begin a cycle of positive growth. This comes on the heels of thinking that you gave up something, but good karma comes your way, you get an awful lot back.
Pisces: You might go in a different direction than you first expected. It’s a year of adventures, and you go exploring, expanding your sense of home, and having experiences that satisfy karmic relationships. You are flourishing but may not cut ties with what is not flourishing– with the past.
Where there’s a will there’s a way, and what has a lot of will this year is your heart. Your heart is opening and magnetizing people and places to you in which you can grow and thrive –and avenues develop, as you find your way back to a strong direction, and it’s a different place, but it feels right.

Psychic Predictions and Astrology for 2009
“Eleven” also connotes spiritual growth, and this year many feel they are gaining mastery over their own selves. A lot of people are feeling healed.

My day has been full of wonder, and rest. First a poem that I wrote for friends, by Mary MacIntyre, blog author,me.
On joyful night
cold black sky filled with stars
the farillitos called our feet to
wander to a mystical den
candles celebrated
luminous magic
of fires from old
the family pew was strong
and cool and few took time to notice
three hundred years of sermons
while juniper called the wild nerness(t)
in through windows draft.
one by one friends came
sharing stories and fame,
conversations open
sometimes bold
caressed our blessings
being told.
Food abundant
prepared with love,
the sacred space
opened its heart to our doors.
an eve’s new years
connected hopes
joy shared.
outside the air was cold
i could see my breath
like times old.
i laughed thanking the stars.
all those candles glowed
like drawings in ocean’s sand
flickered with spirit’s love
lingering now with my thanks to you.
I withold some personal thoughts, but the night was filled beyond expectation. I did not sleep much as my mind awoke minutes after I laid my head on the pillow. I relished in my post excitement. I may have fallen asleep near dawn and let myself sleep late comforted by cats and bundled beneath warm blankets. Later in the day I composed my poem, a mere shadow from one that emerged earlier in the morning. I called a friend and invited her to dinner, called her back and asked her to invite another friend. We treated him. A friend of his waited on us. This man retired from a large city fire department works at two homeless shelters, and works in the restaurant as well. Some people just keep giving again again to their community. So I return home full of love, and grateful that I have something to share.
Yes we can....(Locate silver linings) Photo by Mary MacIntyre
Ok, this may not be all so new: actors and musicians often do fundraisers, but here is a new album with a grand story. As you may have noticed, that I have dedicated some time to supporting those who are working to help those in serious need. Non-profits now need help more than ever all around the world. So give when you can, give locally and when possible reach across the world. Here, the band provides a wonderful, mememorable way to make giving easy: I think their new album probably is terrific.
As winter is upon part of the world, the time for giving, doesn’t cease with the holidays. And if you were to travel to Africa, Asia, there are plenty of all year round troubles. It can be overwhelming.
What is not overwhelming is taking $5,$10, or more to donate either regularly or occassionally to those places that touch your heart.
If 2000 people donated $10 to their fav organization that’s $20,000.
At our local Food Depot, that would create 80,000 meals! Simply put, this demonstrates how important what you give can be. You do make a difference. Thanks, and do play the 2nd and last video. Feel good. Happy New Year’s. Please feel free to share this post anywhere, with everyone.

Some of you may remember Ansel Adams the photographer and the awesome NM and Southwest Landscapes. Magnificant large format black and white photos. Art.
Well when yesterday was warm (40 degrees f), I decided to take Pat out for an early New Year’s celebration. We drove just outside of Santa Fe to Harry’s Roadhouse Restaurant. Harry’s Roadhouse is so famous that when they did major road construction awhile back, they created a turn lane for the Restaurant. This is significant since the road otherwise is primarily a country road. Harry’s Roadhouse often has an art show on the walls. Artists of all backgrounds may show there and it definitely is something to look forward to. Last night I admired these wonderful black and white prints by Charles Garcia.
I assumed that they were of New Mexico, and his card says he is from Albuquerque NM. I could not easily locate him through google, and he only had a phone number and address on his card. I did not copy his address. The photographer focused on rural NM and had dramatic compositions. So my default here, is if you are in New Mexico, go to Harry’s Roadhouse Restaurant to see this exquisite show and part of NM that often is fading fast.
Never been to Harry’s Roadhouse? First be prepared to wait unless you hit an off time. We were lucky yesterday afternoon just before 4PM. In Santa Fe this is significant, many restaurants close in the afternoon. It’s a bit funky with several rooms to dine in. The first is a diner style format, with an old fashioned diner counter. Many of the locals fill those seats fast. On the left of the entrance is a small crowded bar area. Expect to be seated there when it is busy and other guests may rub elbows if you are not careful. The primary dining room has a large community table, groups do tend to show up and garner that space. A good number of smaller tables as well. That’s also the gallery. Up a few steps is an enclosed “Portales”. Scenic and I was surprised that it was really warm yesterday. Out back, during the warmer seasons is a sprawling well landscaped outside restaurant. My favorite. More intimate, and very beautiful. Worth waiting for.
The menu is full of weekly specials. Southwest cuisine with many variations. Food here is not matched by other restaurants. The chefs’ usually produce excellent creations, large portions, at reasonable prices. If possible, leave room for dessert. They are famous for pies, and sometimes run out of favorites. Yesterday I had a cranberry crisp that I could not finish! It was presented in a medium sized bowl 16 oz or more. It wasn’t too sweet which was good for my diet. Included walnuts and a mixed grain crisp/”crust”. $4.25. I also added the homemade pistasico ice cream “ala mode” in a separate dish: heavenly.
My Salmon tacos (soft white flour thin taco), black beans, and salad were filling. We were impressed by the site of the salad and loved the mixed greens which added great colors. $9.95.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Marvelous! Dine leisurely, unless there are no tables left. Relax, feel at home, and know the creativity that abounds here in Santa Fe.
Decided to visit my site at http://startupspace.com where I went to accept some firends, and then decided to write 3 posts. It’s a great place to post because their share button options have such a long directory. I only posted to several each time. But it’s good to get my “work” and definitely my photos out there. As in the story, the sun is almost set. A winter’s eve is upon us, and it’s time to get a bite to eat. Days off just seem to disappear so quickly! Thank you for visiting with me. Please leave a comment. Also check out startupspace, and see if it could work for you. Photos by Mary MacIntyre
Computer recently crashed, and so I’m reviewing some files to see what survived. One winter’s,well almost spring day I went driving on a road off I-25 in NM. I had never been on it before, and I might even have a hard time finding it again. You know the type day where your heart is full and yearning for some intangible experience. I needed to connect with the wild, and earth, and spirit full feeling. I passed ranches, and small villages, and drove up steep hills and down winding narrow roads. Then, just before sunset, I notice some buffalo showing their winter’s wear.
I drove on and then said to self go back! I found a semi safe place and stopped and tried to quietly walk with camera in hand over dry cracking weeds. The buffalo looked up and stared at me. “Uh huh, quiet you are not!” Yet to my amazement they they did not move away. I came closer and started taking pictures, with pregnant pauses. They tolerated my actions and some moved away. However, I had time to stop and share the direct gaze, eye to eye, and “commune” with their spirit. The quiet of the evening set upon us. Our breath freely flowed. I felt one with them and place.
I needed the buffalo to rest and center. To remember the power of the land and spirit in me. I appreciated their focus and presence. I thanked them for being there with me. I travelled far, not knowing where, as we gazed into each other’s eyes.
Hopefully, I have found a buffalo pic to share. Photos by Mary MacIntyre
Twitter friends…Shelley Carlisle
Some of you my passion for music, and ultimate joy in discovering people who work and reside here. I seldom come close to really covering the New Mexico “territory” as there is so much happening always here. So I was delighted to find Shelley on Twitter. Love sensational jazz vocals? Go to her site and listen to some of her classics and be ready for some of her new original songs. Here’s an introduction, and enjoy.
Welcome to my website! A creative evolution of my love for music, I will be posting several more pages such as ‘Quotes’ and photos in the near future. Meanwhile, enjoy, listen, and please contact me for any reason!
The songs here are all cover tunes, recorded several years ago, and are my favorite…good ole’ Jazz and Standards. I started singing professionally about 10 years ago in this style. As we speak I am working on original songs, which will incorporate Jazz and other styles. Check back for NEW songs to be posted before the end of the year. Happy Holidays! ~Shelley
Biography
Shelley Carlisle has possessed a lifelong passion for singing, songwriting and performing, propelling her into the professional realm and earning her the opportunity to perform in clubs and private engagements throughout California and New Mexico. Her spirit of adventure, versatility, and attention to musical detail enables her to perform a variety of styles, from jazz to blues to folk to pop. Shelley is adept at performing original songs, written by her and others, as well as the classics.
Shelley’s natural talent came to light when she first began charming audiences at the age of 5. It was confirmed when, as an elementary school student, she tested off the charts in musical ability and aptitude. Throughout high school and college, Shelley sang with many choral groups, most notably at the University of Miami’s widely recognized School of Music, where she also studied vocals and jazz. From there she came west to San Francisco and began vocal studies with a talented bay area performer, Sandy Geller, and attended the Blue Bear School of Music at Fort Mason.
Out of that experience grew the opportunities to perform with the Rock cover band Dizzy, an original Pop-Folk band called The River, and a Latin jazz trio, Hotlum, all of which she sang at several public and private locations throughout the Bay Area and Northern California. During this time, Shelley also studied and performed with Pilar Montaine, a renowned vocalist and vocal instructor from Mill Valley. Continuing with her music dream, Shelley moved to Los Angeles for one year, exploring the music business from a local perspective, gaining valuable performance experience and insight while developing a strong musical network. There she developed her vocal chops more extensively by retaining the services of Lis Lewis, a prominent vocal coach, vocal producer, and singer/songwriter from Los Angeles.
The ease and fluidity with which Shelley performs has been honed on the musical as well as the athletic stage. Shelley was a nationally ranked high school and collegiate swimmer, and later, one of the top U.S. triathletes in her age group. Her athletic career has helped Shelley to develop the commitment and dedication she applies to singing and performing.
Currently, Shelley is continuing to create original lyrics and music for her solo performances and recordings, while engaging in jazz and casual gigs in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and California. Recently, she had to take a several year break from her passion while nursing a paralyzed vocal chord, but has returned with a vengeance and love of music so fierce and passionate that her soul and vocal depth has grown tremendously.
Shelley embraces a present and future of playing and creating music for herself, the world, or whomever may feel connected to this mutual expansion. Shelley currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico & and shares her life with her several dogs, horses, and the enlightening people and desert sunrises and sunsets of the New Mexico landscapes!

NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY
with
HAPPY GLUE YEAR!
They were a mysterious explosion of comedy, kitsch, experimental theater, neo-Beat poetry, and pop culture run amok - backed by a supertight band navigating a turbulent sea of funk, hip-hop, metal, blues, tango, and whatever else floated by. They were funny and outrageous. They were insightful, often-poignant storytellers, celebrating hustlers, street people, burnouts, and even the occasional dental hygienist with love on her mind. Not only that, they were snazzy dressers - in a riot-at-the-Goodwill-store kind of way. Hands down, The Gluey Brothers were the most original band to ever call Santa Fe their home. The two frontmen, King Hummus (Logan Richards) and MC Tahini (Jim Goulden) disappeared around the turn of the century, ending up in California, where they continued the path of The Gluey. But they’re back. (Actually Tahini has been living in Santa Fe for the last year or so, though Hummus remains in Los Angeles.) They’ve got a cool new DVD, Rio Vista: Visuals, Volume One, which features Gluey music videos, footage from live performances from 1994 to 2005, a documentary, an interview, and assorted weirdness. The DVD captures a big chunk of the old Gluey magic. There’s the Brothers’ 1998 national-television debut on Penn & Teller’s Sin City Spectacular (a short-lived FX network series and that’s no BS.) They do a seven-minute version of their signature tune and classic show opener, “Gluey Brothers Creep.” One of my favorite Gluey Santa Fe songs is here - a 2000 live performance of “Piñon Lurker,” a high-charged guitar boogie about a guy you shouldn’t make eye contact with if you see him walking down Agua Fría. The DVD wouldn’t be complete without “Coffee Shop Tribute,” which features some of the Brothers’ funniest, if most obscure, trivia references: “I saw Reuben Kincaid with a shoddy perm” is one of my favorite lines in contemporary music. Unfortunately, the song is abbreviated, coupled with a snatch of “Freedom Rap.” Mark Sommerville created a surreal Flash cartoon for “Stabbing Trilogy (in Five Parts).” My favorite part is the talking-catfish segment. Lots of Gluey tunes would make great cartoons, so I hope to see more of these. In putting this together, Sean “Momma Bates” Browning reached way back in the Gluey archives. There are versions of “Donut Quota” and “Hash House Line” from the boys’ second performance (in Van Nuys, California, 1992), when it was just Hummus and Tahini with a drum machine. The initial version of Rio Vista: Visuals, Volume One is a limited-edition run. Each copy is numbered and hand-signed. Steve Terrell- The Santa Fe New Mexican - August 8, 2008 www.myspace.com/glueybros
This band lives up to its name and will keep any crowd dancing and laughing. They say some of their fans know their lyrics even better than they do. Uh huh, that’s what the Gluey Brothers say. It’ll be a New Year’s crescendo. Need to let go and be a little crazy??? Life hot wild, crazy crowds? You’ll feel the heat as all the bodies sway almost touching everyone. Don’t think you have them figured out because just as you do, they may change their scene, pull out a few trumpets, and become a racey jazz combo. Rap as you never expected it, and satire from real stories. But what is greatest of all is that then they’ll side up to the microphone and say,”the energy of this crowd that you give to the band is just, ‘pure, HUMAN POWER!!!” Bring the New Year IN with a work out that will make you sleep all morning, if you are lucky. The Gluey brothers are funny too.

I’m an eclectic type of person, and honor many spiritual traditions. Although I did not take a deep moment focusing on the nativity story this year, I did a lot to share season spirit: welcoming many people to share joy, compassion, and love. I loved the secrets revealed from one friend who had her tree up and many years of collected ornaments which had even more stories. For weeks I have enjoyed the show of lights all over town. I love the freedom to be Christian without fear. I also honor all the religions celebrated throughout Santa Fe. Everyone has the right and joy to celebrate their religion without fear or judgement. Erase hate and promote love.
I got an email from a publisher who embodies generousity. Many are familiar with these words, but I felt they are definitely worth reading again. Merry Christmas! Carry your joy and abundance in your heart all year long!
In the words of Reinhold Niebuhr:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
If I can’t change it, then I don’t worry about it.
I (nor you) have no control over the economy. Nor the
weather. What machinations are at work in the world.
Or anything at all like that.
It is out of our hands.
We just have to accept what happens and work
from there. It’s sometimes difficult, but Haanel
provided us the tools and the means to work through
any problem that we may face.
So rest easy with that.
Instead, focus on the things that you CAN change.
The things on which you can have an influence.
In this time when all the media is blaring about
doom and gloom, go out make this the best Christmas
or Chanukah that you can.
You may not be able to control the economy, but you
can certainly put a smile on a child’s face.
You can make someone feel welcomed.
You can throw caution to the wind and make someone’s
dream come true.
You can actually control a lot.
And even though you can’t control the “big” things,
you’ll find that the things that you can control
are the IMPORTANT things.
I wish you and yours a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I wish you a HAPPY CHANUKAH.
I wish you a blessed and loving Holiday.
I wish you all the BEST!
Have fun… Tony M.

Here is a new Inner Christmas movie to nurture your soul at Christmas. This short video is simply words and music offered at a slow meditative pace. The words describe what your soul finds in the Twelve Holy Nights and the music provides a beautiful melody of peace. I hope both the words and music resonate with the truth of your heart at Christmas. To watch the movie click on the title.
Just got the computer back from the shop. I’m having to re-setup lots that I did years ago. However the computer is working much better, although I did lose a lot of stuff. I included two of Lynn Jericho’s movies. I prefer the older one, but try them both becasue she has expanded her message. Before the link above is an invitation email that Lynn Jericho wrote. The whole story is available at www.innerchristmas.com
As I began to reflect on Christmas’s past, they seem convulted, and complex. So many mixed stories I could tell, some abruptly ressurected by a note from my mother recently. However several segments refresh my memory. As a youngster, one of the most important feelings I experienced at Christmas was the hope and belief in peace on earth. The cold New England winter with gorgeous snow scenes, an the old small church enlightened by winter starry night embodied a deep inner peace within. The Christ story, the carols, and prayers made peace all seem real.
As a more cynical teen in the sixities, I recall Simon and Garfunkel’s song Silent Night
I don’t remember if that was the year I played Mary in the church play or not. The irony still travels with me. So this Christmas I will join friends and have fun, and yet, I am still haunted by the long list of wars, conflicts and inequities that tear the dream and promise of peace on earth. In my heart I stretch to the heavens, that perhaps we will eventually come together and create peace all over this planet. Blessings to you all, Mary

Horror in the Wind comes to the Guild
I’m a sucker for just about any movie made in New Mexico. This one sounds like a hoot, but it’s definitely not family fare. It is a comedy about two biogeneticists who invest an airborne formula that reverses the whole world’s sexual orientation. The entire cast and crew is from New Mexico so you might see a familiar face (or other body parts). It was shot in High Rolls, Tularosa and Alamogordo - set in the future when Pat Robertson and James Dobson are President and VP of the United States. Their campaign theme of The War on Sex backfires in hilarious ways. Cast and crew will be there in person for each of the screenings. Friday screenings are at 11pm; Saturday and Sunday at 1pm. Directed by Max Mitchell, 2008, 89m. View trailer here. Screening Fri-Sun, Dec. 12-14

January 20: An Engineer’s View of the Cell with Dr. Pablo Iglesias
The processes by which a cell senses and responds to its environment are exceedingly complex. In this lecture, we will examine how the study of cellular decision making can be aided by feedback control theory, a branch of engineering that has enabled the analysis and design of complex man-made systems, such as planes, trains and automobiles.
Dr. Pablo Iglesias joins us from Johns Hopkins University where he is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. His research focuses on the mathematical modeling of signal transduction pathways, focusing on directed cell migration and cellular division. For more information on Dr. Iglesias, click here. < --more-->

Theoretical physicist Jack Leibowitz joins Santa Fe Complex this Wednesday to discuss the connections between art and physics in an evening talk and fundraiser for Santa Fe Complex. (A portion of the proceeds from the sale of his books will go to the complex.)
Early in his career, Leibowitz found the subatomic universe filled with a satisfying “compositional unity and internal coherence,” as he puts it. Not too unusual for most researchers in his field but he wasn’t content with the innards of atoms, however: he saw the same unity and coherence in the world of art. Which explains how this emeritus professor came to serve five years as the helm of the art department at The Catholic University of America along with his professorship in physics. It also explains the roots of his newly published work, HIDDEN HARMONY: The Connected Worlds of Physics and Art, which he will discuss and sign on December 17 at the complex.
Jack will offer a brief introduction to the general idea of particular connections between the physical world and art. He’ll use images from physics and photos of art to show the similarities in the structure and development of both fields.
Jack designed and initiated an interdisciplinary undergraduate honors program highlighting connections between the arts and the sciences. One such course, adddressing connections between physics and the visual arts, was for students not necessarily having a concentration in either discipline. Another was intended primarily for students in the visual arts. His presentation will build on that experience.

Santa Fe Complex is located in the Railyard Art District within walking distance of the hotels, restaurants and shops at the plaza downtown. We’re housed in two facilities, the project space at 624 Agua Fria and the common space at 632 Agua Fria.
The conference area contains meeting rooms and facilities for short-term use associated with on-going sfComplex projects. The project space houses the great room, where we hold events and offer Internet access, working facilities, a coffee lounge and work carrels for laptop users.
While there is parking at 624 Agua Fria, the Romero Street parking lot is more conveniently located for the 632 facility. Romero St. is an old-style Santa Fe ox-cart road just east of the 624 driveway. Follow it south from Agua Fris St. until it opens up to two lanes; turn hard right into the parking lot for 632. Or, enter from Manhattan St. & Romero St. to the south.
Here’s a map to our location, a representative shot showing the Railyard District and a sketchup drawing of the facility at 632. For more information, call 505/216.7562 or click here.
