The Flying Stars are hitting some pretty serious areas in my home this year. You could say they are zipping through and pinging off all over the place. What are the Flying Stars you ask? Well...I'm glad you asked. Flying Stars is one of the schools of thought in Feng Shui (the study of placements). The idea is that the stars move around. There is a 20-year cycle, a yearly cycle, monthly cycle, day cycle, and even an hour cycle. Right now we are in the 20-year #8 cycle of making money. That means that wherever the eight falls in the grid on the other cycles, we want to activate that area.

For now though, let's take a look at the 5-element pagoda cure. In 2010, the #5 yellow star of Misfortune and the #2 black star of Illness are of particular concern to people born in the Tiger years (of the Chinese zodiac). If you are a female Tiger person/matriarch/elderly and living in a bedroom in the southwest corner of the house, you need to get yourself a 5-element pagoda or 5-element bell immediately, if not sooner.

Because the #5 star resides in the southwest and the #2 star is in the northeast (the Tiger direction), they both carry a double whammy for Tigers. They are on the same axis, which increases the effect of each. The #2 black star of Illness being in the Tiger direction is bad enough, but the #5 yellow star of Misfortune brings "illness, injury, and/or death". Ok Tigers, all together now: "Eeeeeek!"

The 5-element pagoda is a nifty little device made of brass. It has 5 sections corresponding to the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal) and usually contains some kind of protective mantra or symbol on the outside. The interior is hollow, with a slot-base cover. The idea is to place soil from around your house, protective mantras, and crystals inside to effectively 'lock up the chi' and transmute any harmful energies before they can reach you.

If you are laughing as you read this, stop it right now and continue reading-this is strange stuff. I knew absolutely nothing about Flying Star Feng Shui a few years ago. When I read about it I was curious, and compared the previous two years charts to circumstances in my life. To my shock, I found that the afflictive stars had hit me in every area that was not protected...and I didn't even know about such things!

Having practiced the more general Black Hat sect and LoPan Compass school feng shui for years, I had often wondered why bad things still happened, even when my home had been feng shuied by the experts. Since studying Flying Star sect, the wondering has ceased; it makes perfect sense. If I had any doubt, what happened in the last couple of weeks got rid of that. The experts say the stars are constantly moving and you can start to feel the effects a month or so before they actually take up the yearly position.

When I saw the Metal Tiger would be in a not-so-great position in 2010, I started placing cures around my house in December 2009. The energy changed as soon as I finished the bedroom (southwest of course). Placing my 5-element pagoda in the southwest corner of my southwest bedroom, on top of a plastic bin full of clothes, I went to sleep peacefully that night. Upon awakening the next morning, as I attempted to coax my body out of bed, there was a loud 'ting-ting' that came from that corner.

I didn't even bother to turn over to look; I knew nothing was over there that could make that noise. A day or two later, as I was showing the 5-element pagoda to a friend, I shook it slightly, producing the exact same 'ting' sound. Realization of what that meant hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks: it had protected me from a (probably) very serious hit. The 'ting' sound came from the protective crystal I had placed inside the pagoda. Whatever energy hit it, hit it hard enough to make that crystal jump twice within the pagoda, creating that sound. The incident happened again, a day after that.

While I am grateful that I have been spared whatever chaos that energy was trying to visit upon me, I have to also try to help others-especially Tiger people. When I visited with another Metal Tiger friend, the litany of disasters that have befallen her - just since January 5th - is enough to curl your hair. She told me she doesn't believe in feng shui, since a friend of hers had a top expert do her house and then lost it, her business, all her money, and was now homeless.

Yeah...been there, done that. As I mentioned, I didn't even know about the Flying Stars, and they still got me. Just in case you are wondering where to learn about such things, check out two of my favorite websites for that: www.wofs.com and www.geomancy.net.

May the Flying Stars of luck bless you and the Flying Stars of Affliction miss you altogether.

Blackstar Series One 200 200W Tube Guitar Amp Head Black $2199.99 Blackstar builds the 200W Series One S1-200 tube guitar amp head with intuitive controls, comprehensive range, and sturdy construction to stand the rigors of the road.The amplifier head's unique Bright/Warm switch control actually reconfigures the pre-amplifier voicing and power amplifier damping to reproduce either ringing Class A performance in the Bright mode, or crunchy Class AB tones in the Warm setting. Blackstar paid careful attention to the amp's available overdrive levels when designing the S1-200 head's Crunch Channel. Blackstar wanted to cover the widest range of crunch gain levels from just on the edge of clean break-up, to crushing modern rhythm tones. To this end the Crunch/Super Crunch switch alters both gain levels and tonal shaping for maximum crunch flexibility. The overdrive channels are characterized by a tone that's high in gain, but lacks any of the detached top-end often found in many similar designs. This is a result of unique preamplifier and power amplifier shaping techniques, which also benefit the player in the way the overdrives clean up beautifully as the guitar volume is reduced. Even at the most extreme settings, the S1-200 tube amp's overdrive channels remain natural sounding. The ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control is unique to Blackstar Amplification and represents a major step forward in tone shaping flexibility. The ISF control shifts the response of the three-control tone stack between a US response at one end and a UK response at the other. As a result, an infinite number of alternative tone choices lies in between that would be otherwise unavailable. Completing the tonal feature set is another unique Blackstar innovationthe DPR (Dynamic Power Reduction) system. DPR reduces the power of the output stage from full power (200W) down to 10% (20W) and any power output in between. This means that the full tonal depth of the KT88 power amplifier can be enjoyed at any volume, making the S1-200 ideal for recording, smaller gigs and even home practice use. Working in conjunction with the power amplifier voltages, this method of power reduction suffers none of the loss in tone of other power reduction systems. The tonal flexibility of the S1-200 is augmented by full MIDI implementation of the main channel switching functions. Used in conjunction with outboard gear such as multi-effects units, MIDI allows a whole new level of creative performance to be explored.200W head with built-in DPR power reduction4 x ECC83, 1 x ECC82, 4 x KT88 tubes4 footswitchable channelsClean channel with Warm (Plexi) and Bright (Class A) type modesCrunch channel with Crunch and Super Crunch modesTwo overdrive channels with high and low output dampingTwo ISF equipped tone control sectionsPresence and Resonance controlsMaster VolumeSeries effects loopMIDI switchingSpeaker emulated output

Blackstar (Spaceplane) $95.59 Blackstar is the reported codename of a secret United States orbital spaceplane system. The possible existence of the Blackstar program was reported in March 2006 by Aviation Week Space Technology magazine; the magazine reported that the program had been underway since at least the early 1990s, and that the impetus for Blackstar was to allow the United States Government to retain orbital reconnaissance capabilities jeopardised following the 1986 Challenger disaster. The article also said that the United States Air Forces Space Command was unaware of Blackstar, suggesting it was operated by an intelligence agency such as the National Reconnaissance Office. Aviation Week speculated that such a spacecraft could also have offensive military capabilities. The magazine also stated that it was likely that Blackstar would be mothballed, although it is unclear whether this is due to cost or failure of the program.
