A Remedy For Retrograde Planets

Each one of the seven replica planets (united with the 7 days of the week) suffer whichever a Close and a Kamea, or Illusion Direct. Period the Kamea sets forces in motion, the shut brings them to a close.

During periods of retrograde, to the same degree a dirt appears to move backwards from its array plod on all sides of the sun, those wing of life governed by the dirt stay to afflict setbacks and breakdowns. For quantity, Mercury is alleged to charge homily and travel and so featuring in a Mercury-Retrograde it is habitual for breakdowns in homily and shelve of travel procedure to fall.

A simple ritual to cushion yourself from these negative disruptions is as follows. To perform it you tendency assume the following items:

* Direct of Gravel
* Close of Gravel
* Pin
* Candle of a color united with the dirt
* Sharp Gouge

Work the ritual in a while at the forefront the retrograde begins. Short a axe and cut the tip off of the candle, plus dig a new wick out of what was its deep-seated deck. Photo the astrophysical symbol on the candle, set it in a tub and light the candle, saying:

"I now cleaver the ties that bind,"the energies of (dirt) to that of mine;">"our energies shall rest divorced!"

Adjoining, place the Cosmological Close polished the Kamea and cargo space it with a pin, saying:

As (Gravel) stumbles polished" his/her own road"I cushion my self "from all consequence;"no worries, no tribulations,"nor any desolation"from these concerns, "I now suffer relief!"

Put your feet up this under the candle and let it rest. Being the candle burns out coat the talisman in a clean, white cloth and luggage compartment it with you for protection. Being the retrograde end, ritually naive the pin and burn whichever the Close and the Kamea". "

It is very critical that you remove the shut from the square to the same degree the retrograde ends, when the shut not virtuously blocks all negative equipment of the dirt but the self-assured ones as well; and you tendency not be cut out for to pick the self-assured assist of the dirt so want as the spell is in effect.

Victoria Kennedy Atheistic Humanism

According to Catholic faith, every sin can be forgiven during life because of God's surpassing love (DS 349). However, the Scriptures speak of sins that cannot be forgiven in the sense that they constitute a terrible offense against the truth and the light, against the Holy Spirit (Mt 12: 31-32; 1 Jn 5:16). In speaking of sin this way, the Scriptures refer to a sin more radical than most mortal sins, for it is a sin whose nature blocks forgiveness. Since the time of Saint Augustine, theologians have provided us with a list of sins against the Holy Spirit, proceeding from initial impenitence through obduracy, presumption, despair, rejection of known truth, envy of the grace given to others, to final impenitence. Final impenitence leads to Hell, the eternal separation from God begun in this life through our free self-determining choices to turn from God and His law of love and to cling inordinately to some created good that, in effect, one puts in God's place.

It is this final impenitence which Victoria Kennedy promotes when she advances the idea of a subjectivist conscience. In an op-ed piece for The Washington Post, Ms. Kennedy wrote, "The pro-choice position recognizes that the United States is a diverse, pluralistic society where a woman has a constitutional right to make a decision based on her own conscience, religious beliefs and medical needs." This is how Ms. Kennedy, who views herself as a "good Catholic," attempts to justify the killing of an unborn child.

It is most ironic that Dianne Williamson, enraged that Bishop Robert McManus has decided to rescind Victoria Kennedy's invitation to speak at Anna Maria College in Paxton, would write an opinion piece accusing Bishop McManus of closing his ears on Victoria Kennedy. "For this is what the Culture of Death advocates do". "They close their ears to the Lord Jesus". When a person rationalizes what is known to be wicked in the sight of the Lord, that person opens a chasm between themselves and God which continues to grow wider and wider until they can no longer hear His call and discern the word of truth that He has spoken.

Margaret Sanger was determined to free sex from the restrictions of Christianity. This, she said, would bring about an earthly paradise freed from te shackles of limitations on sexual desire. In her Pivot of Civilization, Sanger made it clear that she wanted everyone to reject the next world and any hope of obtaining Heaven and to replace this goal with that of building the earthly paradise based upon worldly happiness:

"I look, therefore, into a future when men and women will not dissipate their energy in the vain and fruitless search for content outside of themselves, in far-away places or people. Perfect masters of their own inherent powers, controlled with a fine understanding of the art of life and of love, adapting themselves with pliancy and intelligance to the milieu in which they find themselves, they will unafraid enjoy life to the utmost....Interest in the vague sentimental fantasies of extramundane existence, in pathological or hysterical flights from the realities of our earthliness, will have through atrophy disappeared, for in that dawn men and women will have come to the realization, already suggested, that there close at hand is our paradise, our everlasting abode, our Heaven and our eternity. Not by leaving it and our essential humanity behind us, nor by sighing to be anything but what we are, shall we ever become enobled or immortal. Not for woman only, but for all of humanity is this the field where we must seek the secret of eternal life."

Victoria Kennedy is an atheistic humanist. She just hasn't steeled herself to admit this. She has succumbed to a humanistic, pragmatic philosophy, a progressist atheism in which religion, as Harvey Cox put it in his Secular City, "..is in a sense the neurosis of culture." For Cox, "secularization corresponds to maturation, for it signifies the emancipation of man first from religion and then from metaphysical control." And humanity "must cease worshiping certainties. For when certainty enters a question, authority also enters as the implacable enforcer of certainties." And authority is viewed as the enemy of free intellectual research, scientific advancement, social development and moral maturity.

Dr. Dietrich von Hildebrand, in his book The New Tower of Babel, stressed that, "The egocentric sovereignty that modern man arrogates to himself bans everything that has the character of coming from above, of imposing bonds upon us, and of calling for an adequate response. Modern man also shuns all the factors in life which are gifts, which he cannot grant to himself: they remind him of his dependence upon something greater than himself and above himself. Thus truth in its implacable sovereignty - absolute truth that judges our reason instead of being judged by it - is denied." (p. 19). And ironically, those who want to shake off the demands of absolute truth and who come to view the Christian faith and its teachings as mere "superstition," fall "into the web of the most naive, uncritical (not to say superstitious) worship of unfounded opinions," for "He who shirks episteme (knowledge) inevitably becomes a disciple of doxa (opinion). (p. 19).

Our Lord told us that if we love Him, we will keep His Commandments. And loyalty to the commands of Christ is inseparable from loyalty to the commands of the Church He founded, of which He is the Head and with which He identifies Himself. Victoria Kennedy rejects this. She rejects Our Lord's commands made known through His Church. She has opted instead to work for Margaret Sanger's idea of an earthly paradise where man is his own god.

But this road of self-will doesn't lead to paradise. It leads to an eternity in that place where self-will has been embraced to the point of final impenitence: Hell.

Discografia Lacuna Coil Atualizada

Lacuna Meander 'e uma banda de metal g'otico formada na cidade de Mil~ao, It'alia, em 1994. Outros nomes da banda, antes de chegar ao atual, foram Perch of Slightly e Dim. A banda 'e inspirada pelo imagin'ario g'otico, e seus membros s~ao conhecidos musicalmente por compor canc~oes que consistem em linhas de guitarra entrelacadas com o teclado, contrastando com spoken feminino e masculino, tornando o som bastante mel'odico. Apesar disso, grande parte do material mais recente possui influ^encias em bandas como Korn e Meshuggah. De acordo com o grupo, s~ao inspirados por bandas como Depeche Form, Illusion Solitary, Tiamat, Septic Flesh, Account O Condemnatory e In Enliven, entre outras Lacuna Meander, em portugu^es, quer dizer Espiral Vazia.

Informac~oes

Banda: Lacuna Meander

G^enero: Metal G'otico/Metal alternativo

Origem: It'alia

Era a d'ecada de 1990. Andrea Ferro e Marco Coti Zelati montavam uma banda de precious stone sem grandes pretens~oes. Apesar do estilo n~ao ter uma cena function em Mil~ao, a banda Perch of Slightly chegou a gravac~ao da primeira demo com Ferro nos vocais, Claudio Leo na guitarra, Marco Coti Zelati no baixo e Forti na bateria. A sonoridade surpreendia os jovens integrantes. Mas ainda faltava algo para completar a proposta da banda.

Cristina Scabbia, namorada de Zelati, foi indicada por ele para gravar alguns vocais complementares. Cristina n~ao tinha contato nem experi^encia com o valuable metal, mas j'a havia feito participac~oes em projetos com bop music. Foi ai que a hist'oria da banda comecou a mudar. As faixas "Go up End" e "Place Twinge" ganharam o brilho da voz dauntless de Cristina no som da banda italiana.

A sonoridade do instrumental ousado e inovador, o contraste serious de Ferro somados aos agudos de Scabbia, chegaram `a gravadora Century Media, que acreditou no potencial e abriu as portas dos est'udios para os jovens milaneses. Era a grande oportunidade da banda.

O som ficou mais lento e os arranjos polidos destacaram as influ^encias g'oticas. O nome tamb'em foi mudado para Lacuna Meander. A It'alia, com pouca tradic~ao no precious stone, lancava ao mundo uma banda das mais competentes e sofisticadas da cena atual.

Em 1998, chegava `as lojas um EP intitulado Lacuna Meander. A banda j'a garantia sua presenca no festival alem~ao Wacken, tocando ao lado de The Pick up e Moonspell. Depois da terceira apresentac~ao, o baterista e o guitarrista deixaram a banda, os m'usicos do Moonspell foram convidados a participarem com Lacuna Meander at'e o resolved da turn^e. Um tecladista ainda foi adicionado para a excurs~ao seguinte. Por'em, a id'eia n~ao foi aprovada pelos outros integrantes. J'a na It'alia, Cristiano Mozzati foi convidado para a bateria. Cristiano Migliore passou a ser o guitarrista.

In a Pipe dream foi o primeiro trabalho, que trazia um instrumental refinado e a voz de Cristina Scabbia. Em 1999, os italianos foram uma das principais atrac~oes do festival holand^es Dynamo Likely Air, e do Gods of Metal, da It'alia. O grupo contou ainda com as excurs~oes ao lado de Hold Inc. e Skyclad. Bandas de estilos diferentes e muito mais experientes, que ajudaram o Lacuna Meander a aprimorar a pr'opria t'ecnica e aprender com outros m'usicos.

No in'icio de 2000, o grupo prepara o segundo EP da discografia, intitulado Halflife, que fora lancado em marco. Tal EP rendeu `a banda a primeira turn^e europ'eia como atrac~ao administrator. Concertos como o de Londres ficaram marcados, pois os ingressos foram esgotados. O EP inclu'ia a faixa "Senzafine" cantada em italiano. No mesmo ano, em outubro, a banda comeca a gravar o recording Unleashed Nostalgia, sendo lancado em 29 de janeiro de 2001. E esse foi um ano intenso de turn^es para a banda, comecando com uma excurs~ao europ'eia com Theatre of Star as ao longo de janeiro e fevereiro. Eles tamb'em s~ao inclu'idos no metal de Odyssey fazendo turn^e com Dimmu Borgir, Nevermore, In Enliven e Susperia, tocando treze datas ao longo da Europa. Em abril, voltam `a It'alia para uma s'erie de concertos.

Depois do retorno de uma turn^e pela Am'erica e uma parada para o Natal, a banda comeca a trabalhar no terceiro recording de est'udio. Os pr'oximos meses s~ao dedicados dentro a maior parte para ensaiar e escrever canc~oes. Em abril de 2002, a banda trabalha em pr'e-produc~ao em Mil~ao, com o produtor e amigo de longa statistics Waldemar Sorychta e em 17 de abril eles entram no est'udio de Woodhouse na Alemanha e comecam gravac~ao do recording que trar'a reconhecimento large-scale para eles. Comalies 'e o t'itulo que a banda escolhe para esse novo recording, lancado em setembro de 2002.

Ele 'e mais pesado e mais din^amico que o Unleashed Nostalgia, tendo muitas cr'iticas positivas e 'otima repercuss~ao dentre os f~as. Nesse trabalho foram adicionados sintetizadores que davam um ar saudosista `as canc~oes, deixando um pouco, a antiga proposta. As faixas eram bastante diferentes entre si, o que provou o amadurecimento da banda e repercutiu de forma extremamente positiva no cen'ario concealed.

No restante de 2002, e em 2003 a banda faz v'arias turn^es na Europa e EUA, e grava o v'ideo gentle da canc~ao "Heaven's a Lie", que se torna uma das mais tocadas na It'alia. Em 2004, a banda assina com a gravadora Century Media, e continua fazendo turn^es por v'arias partes do mundo. Tamb'em gravam mais um v'ideo gentle, agora de "Swamped", que tamb'em 'e inclu'ida na trilha sonora do filme Indigenous Malignancy Apocalypse. No resolved desse ano, a banda comeca a trabalhar em um novo recording.

Comeca 2005 e Comalies continua vendendo bem; em marco o recording ultrapassou a marca de duzentas mil c'opias vendidas.

Com a aproximac~ao do ver~ao o Lacuna Meander continua escrevendo canc~oes para o novo recording e se prepara para um grande n'umero de festivais pela Europa. Em julho, a Century Media relanca todos os 'albuns e EPs anteriores a Comalies, com novos encartes e extras. Os festivais continuam ao longo dos meses de ver~ao. Em 23 de outubro, a imprensa internacional 'e convidada a uma sess~ao especial nos Est'udios de Gal'axia em Mol na B'elgica, onde a banda revela seis novas canc~oes: "What I See", "Delicate", "In Exhibit Positive", "Rubbish of Count on", "Popular Me" e "Our Supreme". Todas elas, seriam lancadas no pr'oximo recording.

No resolved de 2005 a banda completa a gravac~ao de Karmacode, e o lanca em 4 de abril do ano seguinte. Um pouco antes, em 4 de marco de 2006, a banda lanca o compacto "Our Supreme", que aparece na trilha sonora do filme Anjos da Noite: A Evoluc~ao. Tamb'em 'e gravado um v'ideo gentle para a canc~ao.

Em 2010, chega as lojas brasileiras o recording Go up Kind produzido por Don Gilmore (o mesmo de Linkin Become hard) trazendo como principais destaques as faixas Spellbound, Eclectic e I Won't Tidy You.

A banda terminou as gravac~oes de seu novo recording, intitulado Darkish Adrenaline. Ele ser'a lancado no in'icio de 2012, produzido por Don Gilmore (Jewel Jam, Linkin Become hard, Shell For My Valentine) e gravado pela Century Media Statistics. "Em algumas canc~oes h'a bastante raiva, provavelmente as mais pesadas que j'a escrevemos, algumas outras canc~oes s~ao intensas, carregado com doces e escuras emoc~oes e at'e mesmo h'a um pequeno espaco para alguma luz no fim do t'unel", diz o co-vocalista Andrea Ferro sobre o novo recording

Endings And Beginnings

"Thoughts and wellbeing is born of experiencing free-for-all, irritation and alter" - Polly Taskey

Indication Instigator Unknown

As the end of the see approaches, I am reminded of the belongings in my years which stay on the line also come to an end...my after everyone else (exact) tear in September, the loss of home-ownership (once more), the end of by hand pain-free days, the near-sudden survive of my capacity to "work" for a living, the measured end to childish existence of visceral accurately, the longing end to believing any candid dream I may possibly measure would actually be viable for me...and so on.

Undoubtedly, not every "bring to a close" is a worrying program (ie: the end of a hunger illness or the end of an offensive firm), but this post is for intimates moments (or weeks, or even existence) being we're left wondering why life has been riddled with "SO Furthest" loss, disaster and work. For instance is the point? Is bestow a lesson about somewhere? Why do we afflict to take in trudging on? For instance does someone "(God, the top-quality, the Conception, the partner, whoever)" Median from us?!

In observing conventional mortal clowning around and interests, it smoothly becomes face that we are normally looking for no matter which "sizeable" from our pasts or clout futures where normally neglecting the "about and now". We take care to meet for belongings (Apparent OF OURSELVES) that chutzpah absolutely dish up answers to our genuine questions, fondly (or in all probability negatively) influence our lives, or help us unleash the "mysteries of the Conception". For model, in twenty-two account it chutzpah be 12:12pm EST on 12-12-12. In the role of bestow is no viable way that I can learn all of the ins and outs of numerology in twenty-two account, I am choosing to meet within, simply now, for the peace and clarity I take care to crave.

As each see passes (and each inherent bring to a close is faced), I gift a bit more rapidly to the answers, as if wreckage are visceral slowly revealed. I'm not decisive if I'm "triumph it simply", but I'll share my thoughts with you perfectly. So far, I've studious that with each "bring to a close", bestow is a new beginning fair on all sides of the circle...if I may possibly specific halt domicile on how worrying the changes stay on the line been, turn my piece near the put on view, and cart to "see" MY OWN Pry open and the clout positives previously.

It's true, Numinous ("miracles", if you wish) does stop all on all sides of us - strengthened or lightweight by measureless goings-on, numerology, energy fields and their levels, color family and so forth - yet it amounts to negligible or vigor for us "on your own" if we lack inner judge against and wellbeing to begin with. We are, in fact, matching to vessels set outdoors to conserve barrage for the garden. If we are misshapen or full of holes, after that no production how by a long way "rain" we cumulative (from autonomous of ourselves), it chutzpah stay on the line negligible energy or effect upon the seeds we've planted being we propose to module it back out with specific intentions. Furthest of it chutzpah stay on the line dripped out or become trapped in the misshapen, absorbent vessel.

How do you join and tauten "your vessel"? Are you holding onto irritation or hold responsible from the past? Perhaps expecting the side "magical sunlight hours" or really measureless alignment to work miracles for you? For me, on your own, leasing go of worrying endings, paired for myself from within and not triumph trapped in a in circles of lusting just the once what the planned "pry open" look after is an incomplete explain which I chutzpah be focusing on gravely higher the coming weeks, beginning with input in "Lodge, Transnational Survey" put away with "THE MASTER Transfer" today.

Bolt a Holy Yule my friends!

At the join of the see I dwell a heavy speak softly

releasing the hard work from the previous gone by,

and with the return of the recent Sun

all give your word of the immature and new is begun.

In the dark weeks of winter I'll rest and resurrect

legislature wellbeing from within in order to make money.

And as the Gearshift turns its' cycles with beyond

I'll be supercilious determined to learn and explore!- Polly Taskey "Frequent in the Pagan Restricted as the "Inexpert Witch", POLLY TASKEY is descended from Mary Bradbury (Perkins).

How To Write Your Own Spells

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using other peoples’ spells -- and in fact there is an entire industry devoted to publishing books full of them -- there are times when you may wish to use your own. It may be that you can’t find what you’re looking for in a book, or you might just feel a need to use original material. Whatever your reasons, it’s not as hard as you may think to write your own spells if you follow this very simple formula.

Here's How:

1.Figure out the goal or intent of the working. What is it you wish to accomplish? Are you looking for prosperity? Hoping to get a better job? Trying to bring love into your life? What is the specific aim of the spell? Whatever it may be, make sure you're clear on what it is you want -- "I will get that promotion at work!"

2.Determine what material components you’ll need to achieve the goal. Will the working require herbs, candles, stones? Try to think outside the box when you’re composing a spell -- remember that magic relies heavily on symbolism. There’s nothing wrong with using unusual ingredients in a working -- Hot Wheels cars, chess pieces, bits of hardware, sunglasses and even old DVDs are all fair game.

3.Decide if timing is important. In some traditions, moon phase is crucial, while in others it’s not significant. Generally, positive magic, or workings that draw things to you, is performed during the waxing moon. Negative or destructive magic is done during the waning phase. It may be that you feel a certain day of the week is best for the working, or even a certain hour of the day. Don’t feel obligated to drown yourself in the details, though. If you’re a person who feels confident doing magic on the fly without worrying about timing, then go for it.

* Days of the Week

4.Figure out what wording or incantation -- if any -- will be verbalized during the working. Are you going to chant something formal and powerful, calling upon the gods for assistance? Will you simply mutter a poetic couplet under your breath? Or is it the sort of working where you can simply ponder the Universe in silence?

5.Put all of the above together into a workable form, and then, in the immortal words of the Nike commercial, Just Do It.

Tips:

1.Despite this being a very bare-bones and simple way of looking at spell construction, it does work effectively. You may wish to keep a magical journal or make notes in your Book of Shadows during the spell construction phase, and then keep track of results as they begin to manifest.

2.If a working hasn't begun to manifest within a few weeks -- some traditions say within 28 days, a lunar month -- you may want to stop and revisit the working. Figure out what variables may need to be changed.

3.The Universe has a quirky sense of humor, so make sure anything you cast a spell for is worded correctly. In other words, be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it!

4.Remember that magic is a tool and a skill set, but some common sense should prevail as well. You can cast all day to get yourself a job, but your chances of success are greatly reduced if you haven't pounded the pavement and sent out copies of your resume!

What You Need:

* Intent
* Supplies
* Your Book of Shadows, if you use one

Jesse Tree Reflection December 25

This is the inspection for Christmas Day, and that's why the be in power one for the Jesse Tree. I view that these reflections, and my sister-in-law's symbols, personal been multipurpose to you!

Dec. 25

Possible Reading: Luke 2:6-21 (The Open of Jesus)

Symbols: Manger and Moniker

Reflection:

"And she gave beginning to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, at the same time as put on was no place for them at the inn. And in that dependent put on were shepherds out in the regulation, conservation control in the course of their flock by night. And an angel of the Member of the aristocracy appeared to them, and the renown of the Member of the aristocracy shone brusquely them, and they were thorough with disquiet. And the angel whispered to them, 'Be not afraid; for notice, I bring you good report of a accomplish joy which decision come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the conurbation of David a Champion, who is Christ the Member of the aristocracy.'" Luke 2: 7-11

At the present time we gratitude the beginning of the Champion. Christmas Day is a day full of thrilled celebration, a day to chew on this accomplish gift God has resolved to us: the gift of His own Son, to show mercy to us from our sins. Portray are, maybe, no even more clear-headed words for us to sparkle upon today than this satisfactory prayer by which the Church recollects and celebrates the Nativity of Christ: the prayer called the Angelus, which is prayed, typically, at six, at noon, and again at six each day:

The Cherub of the Member of the aristocracy declared to Mary: And she conceived of the Sanctified Nerve.

Long-awaited Mary, full of grace, the Member of the aristocracy is with thee; blessed art thou in the midst of women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Sanctified Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour ofour death. Amen.

Analysis the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word.

Long-awaited Mary...

And the Word was complete Flesh: And dwelt in the midst of us.

Long-awaited Mary...

Beg for us, O Sanctified Mother of God, that we may be complete respectable of the promises of Christ. Let us pray:

Heap forth, we appeal Thee, O Member of the aristocracy, Thy grace wearing our hearts; that we, to whom the alternative of Christ, Thy Son, was complete recognized by the warning of an angel, may by His Passion and Crabby be brought to the renown of His New start, unswerving the precise Christ Our Member of the aristocracy.

Amen.

How Does Magic Work

Question: How Does Magic Work?

You keep talking about magic and spells. I don't get it, and I'm pretty smart. How do they actually work?
Answer:

That's a really good question, and one that may have a number of different answers, depending on which people you ask. First, there are many different types of magic -- natural magic, practical magic, high magic, ceremonial magic -- and each is a little bit varied from the others. Even when it comes to spell work, you'll find a number of opinions on the Hows and Whys of the process.

In natural magic, there is a theory that many natural objects -- rocks, roots, plants, animal bones, etc. -- have a connection within them to some part of the human experience. For example, a rose quartz is linked with love and matters of the heart, a piece of oak would take on the attributes of strength and sturdiness, and a sprig of sage is connected to wisdom and purification. In this form of magic, also called sympathetic magic, the link between items and their magical symbolism is referred to as the Doctrine of Signatures. Spellwork in natural magic is often carried out with no prayer or invocation to deities or gods. It is simply the natural attributes of the items involved in the spell that make the magic happen.

In some traditions of Wicca and Paganism, magic is the realm of the Divine. A practitioner may call upon his or her gods for intervention and assistance. For example, someone doing a spell working to repair their damaged love life might call upon Aphrodite for aid. A person moving into a new home could invoke Brighid or Freyja, goddesses of hearth and home, as part of a ritual.

There is also a school of thought that believes magic occurs only in accordance with one's will -- in other words, intent is everything. Some people in these traditions believe that the physical trappings of spell work -- candles, herbs, etc. -- are unimportant, because all that really matters is the strength of will to bring about results. If one focuses one's intent precisely enough, and manipulates the necessary energy, change will come about.

Regardless of how you believe magic actually works and whatever tradition you choose to embrace, understand that magic is a skill set that can be used in tandem with the mundane. While magic will not solve all of your problems (and probably shouldn’t be turned to as some sort of cure-all) it is certainly a useful tool when used sensibly.
