Featuring a large play list including music from the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s and early 90′s. Recreating the album feel for many listeners who consider this the best music ever made.

1950s was the start of rock and roll, formed out of rhythm and blues, folk music, jazz and classical music. The sound of rock still to this day often revolves around the electric guitar, a back beat laid down by a bass guitar, drums, and maybe piano or synthesizers.

In the late 1960s, rock music developed different subgenres like folk rock, blues-rock and jazz-rock fusion.

In the 1970s, rock incorporated influences from soul, funk, and Latin music. Subgenres developed, such as soft rock, glam rock, hard rock and punk rock.

Rock subgenres that emerged in the 1980s included new wave, hardcore punk and alternative rock.

In the 1990s, rock subgenres included grunge, Britpop, indie rock, and nu metal.

More recently the term ROCK has been used as a blanket term including forms such as pop music, reggae music, soul music, and sometimes even hip hop, with which it has often been contrasted through much of its history.

HOROSCOPE PREDICTIONS

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Cancer Moons are tender, sentimental types who will thrive if they really stick to setting realistic goals. Because it’s so important for them to stay emotionally rooted, they should set goals that are heart-centered and don’t overwhelm them. Since cultivating a home environment is important, make home improvement goals — from installing a fireplace to buying new drapes — reflecting inner needs and inspiring motivation.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

Leo Moons may want to consider the part of their nature that seeks validation and endeavors to share their gifts with others. Setting goals that garner attention in a positive way, such as resolving to showcase one’s work for the enjoyment of others, will add an emotional incentive. When Leo Moon sets goals, they want to feel impressive and important at the end of the journey. While they want to keep goals reasonable enough to stick to, this Moon needs to constantly remind themselves of the incremental glory and prestige they’ll experience along the way.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Virgo Moons are fastidious about self-improvement, need to work on self-acceptance, and commit to a few of their broader visions. These practical types love getting entrenched in the details and may benefit from painting bolder strokes — then supporting them with a specific plan of action. It would also be healing for anyone with this Moon to do charity work. Since they are acutely aware of their progress, it would feed their caring souls to take the attention off themselves and do what they do best: offer service from the kindness and humility of their hearts.

Libra

September 22 – October 23

For Libra Moons, cultivating balanced and harmonious relationships powerfully influences their feelings of well-being. Though naturals at making connections with others, deepening existing bonds and considering their personal return on their investments with certain people will clear the path for an emotionally rewarding year. Libra (as well as Seventh House Moons) need rapport with — and feedback from — peers. They should sign up a buddy, and make plans to check in on each other’s goals on a weekly basis. Combining their love of social contact with the down-and-dirty work of achieving certain ends will be an effective coupling.

Scorpi0

October 23 – November 21

Scorpio Moons tend to confront their greatest fears. Not interested in glossing over the truth, putting goals in bare and utterly honest language will incite these lunar types into action! Cementing a routine that allows for consistent emotional expression and physical energy will enable them to reach their peak in 2010. Scorpio Moons like to express their hidden reserves of strength, and rigorous athletic goals allow them to zero in on broader concerns.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

For enthusiastic Sagittarius Moons, no goal is unrealistic. These folks are more likely to follow through with resolutions by anchoring a philosophy of life — for example, losing weight for the sake of it will not enlist the support of a Sagittarius Moon. Adding a deeper layer of meaning and using their faith as a guiding star, these individuals will be undaunted by even the steepest climb.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Capricorn Moons feel best in positions that draw upon their impressive leadership abilities and personal strengths. While they adore being needed, these lunar types need to consider their emotional need for solitude and focused determination when considering which mountains to climb. They’re probably more aware of the value of self-reliance than other Moons — especially considering their emotional life. Setting goals that produce tangible results they can see, feel and touch is what they should consider.

Aquarius

January 20 – Februaury 18

Aquarius Moons will rebel if they feel like everyone else. Those under this Moon would do well to link their self-serving goals with their broader place in the world. Aquarian Moons are clear thinkers and staunchly principled, and will not do well with superficial or petty aims. These folks are revolutionary thinkers and masters of seeing things from an original perspective. One or two visionary goals would be better for an Aquarian Moon than trying to implement a daily and repetitive ritual.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Pisces Moons have incredible imaginations to dream, but they also need incredible support systems to follow through. These support systems don’t necessarily have to be people, though it would be a blessing to have a business-savvy Cancer or mountain-climbing Capricorn with whom they can check in once in a while. Pisces Moons’ power of follow-through lies in harnessing their imagination daily, enabling them to feel and see the beautiful outcomes of their goals. In tapping into their imaginative strength, positive actions will follow, and these darlings will get a euphoric taste of real-world results that are sure to nurture out-of-this-world dreams.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

The Aries Moon is restless, excitable and seeks action. It bores in stagnation and wants the rush of feeling like the first sign of the zodiac that it is. This Moon will not sit well with conservative goals that don’t honor its thirst for adventure. The trick with this Moon sign is to keep it entertained by coming up with new and exciting ways to achieve mundane goals.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

A person with a Taurus Moon needs consistency and security if they are expected to stand behind the ambitions of their Sun sign. Practical aims that build on established successes is what will keep the Bull pulling the money cart this year; fad diets or experimental marketing techniques will wither under the influence of this gentle plodder. A reward of having such a stubborn Moon sign is using it to your advantage by setting a goal that appeals to familiarity and routine.  As an earth sign, however, they must make sure to write down exactly what will come from their efforts. Material rewards always inspire a Taurus Moon!

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

Distractible and mentally dexterous Gemini Moons need goals that pique their curiosity and offer quick gratification. While The Twins love to multi-task, it may be better to instead focus on accomplishing one goal per month rather than starting out with a bunch. Conceptual or philosophical goals that deal in ideas and not specifics will not engage these giddy-eyed intellectuals for very long — they need to make it a point to write out their goals and have specific outcomes in mind.

Coady History Portal

Posted on November 17, 2009 at 10:28 pm by admin in News

A portal into the history and archives of the Antigonish Movement and the Coady International Institute has been launched at St. F. X. The on-line journey chronicles the Coady Story in Antigonish, Canada, and around the World.

Visitors to the site can read the original founding documents, view hundreds of historic photographs, listen to digitized recordings of  Dr. Moses Coady, and read  Dr. Coady’s original manuscript of ‘Master’s of their Own Destiny’.   Mary Coyle, the Director of the Coady International Institute, says their goal was to make the storied history of the Antigonish Movement and its founders accessible to all.

Anyone can access the over 14-hundred historical artifacts, recordings, and photographs by visiting the portal at coadyextension.stfx.ca.  The official grand opening of the new Coady building and celebration of the Institute’s 50th anniversary was Saturday, September 26th.
