stock here: Stevie Nicks’ 1st Album was Bella Donna, and in this first album, was a hit that stands strong till this day. Edge of Seventeen.
My interpretation is quite different than A-Eye. Anyone, have any of their own thoughts on this blockbuster?
This was the early 80’s, and things were wild back then. Playboy advised people to get your guests plastered, and how to do it. Jet planes had stand around liquor bars. People rarely used their seatbelts, and computers were in their infancy. Computer hacking wasn’t even a word yet, yet I had a wildly sucessful hacking program based on a Blackjack game.
Edge of seventeen, means 16, that should be obvious
Nicks lived in California at the time. The age of consent was, and is 18. Which is amazing for California. She was 33 in May of 1981. Kiss and Queen was all the rage in high school, as was Meatloaf, and Head East.
—————- A-Eye says of the song
🌟 Overview:
Title: Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White Winged Dove)
Artist: Stevie Nicks
Album: Bella Donna (1981)
Genre: Rock
Theme: Grief, transformation, and coming of age
🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation:
Stevie Nicks wrote “Edge of Seventeen” following two personal tragedies that occurred around the same time:
The death of John Lennon (December 1980), which shocked her deeply.
The passing of her uncle Jonathan, whom she was very close to.
The phrase “edge of seventeen” was inspired by a conversation with Tom Petty’s wife, Jane. When Jane said she met Tom at “the age of seventeen,” her Southern accent made it sound like “edge of seventeen,” and Stevie loved the phrase so much she used it as a song title.
Interpretation Highlights:
White-winged dove: A metaphor for the soul leaving the body, death, or a spirit. It symbolizes transcendence.
Time passing / death: The song wrestles with grief, but also with the beauty and pain of transformation.
Coming of age: The “edge” also implies a threshold — between innocence and knowledge, youth and adulthood.
📜 Full Lyrics:
I’m sorry, but I can’t provide the full lyrics due to copyright restrictions. However, I can give you a summary and point out key lines for interpretation:
🔍 Selected Key Lines and Their Meanings:
🎶 “Just like the white winged dove sings a song, sounds like she’s singing ooh, ooh, ooh”
Repetition mimics the cooing of a dove.
Symbolizes the persistent cry of loss and remembrance.
🎶 “The clouds never expect it when it rains”
Grief strikes without warning.

[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
[Verse 1]
And the days go by like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own, I begin again
Said to my friend, baby (Everything stops)
Nothin’ else mattered
He was no more (He was no more)
Than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken-hearted
Somethin’ within him
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen
[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Said, ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

[Verse 2]
Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again tomorrow
Yeah, yeah
Well, the music there
Well, it was hauntingly familiar
When I see you doin’
What I try to do for me
With the words of a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody
And nothin’ else mattered
[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

[Verse 3]

But the sea changes color
But the sea does not change
So with the slow graceful flow of age
I went forth with an age-old desire to please
On the edge of seventeen, ooh, ah
[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song

[Verse 4]
Well, then suddenly
There was no one left standin’ in the hall
Yeah, yeah
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
When I went searchin’ for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
And not to find an answer, just to hear the call
Of a nightbird singin’, come away (Come away, come away)
[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song (Just like the white-winged dove)
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
[Bridge]
Well, I hear you (Well, I hear you)
In the morning (In the morning)
And I hear you (And I hear you)
At nightfall (At nightfall)
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you, my love
I’m a few years older than you, my love (I’m a few years older than you)
[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song (Just like the white-winged dove)
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she’s singin’
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Huuwah!!!
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/rfk-jr-removing-17-members-cdcs-vaccine-advisory/story?id=122670046
LOL A-Eye tried to avoid the question entirely……
As of June 11, 2025, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has dismissed all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), citing conflicts of interest and a desire to restore public trust in vaccine science. While he has not announced replacements, several individuals associated with Kennedy’s health agenda and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement are potential candidates.en.wikipedia.org+1en.wikipedia.org+1
Kennedy’s decision to overhaul ACIP has raised concerns among public health experts about the potential politicization of vaccine policy. The American Medical Association has criticized the move, warning that it could undermine public trust in vaccines. The next ACIP meeting is scheduled for late June, and it remains to be seen whether new members can be appointed in time.time.com+1timesofindia.indiatimes.com+1
While Kennedy has not publicly named replacements, the individuals and groups mentioned above are closely associated with his health policies and may play a role in shaping future vaccine recommendations.

As of June 11, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s dismissal of all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has led to speculation about potential replacements. While Kennedy has not officially announced new appointees, several individuals associated with vaccine skepticism and aligned with Kennedy’s views have been mentioned as possible candidates.
The appointment of individuals with vaccine-skeptical views to ACIP could lead to significant changes in U.S. vaccine policy. Critics argue that such appointments may undermine public trust in vaccines and public health institutions. The American Medical Association has expressed concerns that these changes could erode confidence in immunization efforts and potentially lead to increased disease outbreaks. vanityfair.com+1washingtonpost.com+1
As of now, these individuals have not been officially appointed to ACIP, and the full impact of Kennedy’s decisions on vaccine policy remains to be seen.
Sources
do you know about kirsch
Yes, Steve Kirsch is a tech entrepreneur who became widely known during the COVID-19 pandemic for promoting vaccine misinformation and opposing mainstream public health guidance.
While Kirsch aligns ideologically with some of RFK Jr.’s views, especially regarding vaccine skepticism, there are significant barriers to him being formally appointed to a panel like the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP):
It’s unlikely, though not impossible, that someone like Kirsch would be appointed to ACIP. However, he could play an informal advisory role or influence other Kennedy appointees more aligned with his views. If Kennedy continues to reshape federal health agencies around vaccine-critical perspectives, Kirsch might find a role within that broader ecosystem—even if not officially on ACIP.

Thanks! With this wider map, I can now answer both parts of your question confidently:
🟢 Green Arrow — Yes, This Is Hilina Pali
You’re pointing to a dashed line that follows the Hilina Pali escarpment on KÄ«lauea’s southeast flank. This is a massive gravitational fault structure where KÄ«lauea’s south flank is slowly sliding toward the ocean due to:
Magma intrusions beneath the rift zone
Tectonic spreading
Normal faulting and slump-related earthquakes
This area regularly hosts shallow normal fault earthquakes, and occasionally large flank slip events (like the M7.7 in 1975 or the M6.9 in 2018).
🔴 Red Arrow — Offshore Earthquakes (Likely Mantle or Flexure Zone)
The cluster of white dots offshore west of Captain Cook, where your red arrow points, is part of a well-known offshore seismicity zone. Here’s what this typically means:
🔍 Nature of Earthquakes at Red Arrow:
Depth: These quakes often occur deep in the mantle (sometimes >30 km).
Cause: They’re associated with bending and flexure of the Pacific Plate as it supports the heavy mass of the Big Island, particularly Mauna Loa.
Mechanism:
Flexural faulting in the lithosphere
Possibly normal or reverse faulting, depending on exact depth and plate flexing direction
Not volcanic: These are tectonic, not related to magma movement.
Hazard: Generally low risk unless a large slip triggers a small tsunami (rare but watched).
🗺️ Summary
Arrow Feature Interpretation
🟢 Green Hilina Pali Major south flank fault, causes frequent shallow EQs and large flank-slip events
đź”´ Red Offshore W. Hawaii Likely deep-seated flexural earthquakes in the Pacific Plate beneath the ocean floor due to weight of the Big Island

It seems odd with all the volcanoes going off, that the number of 6 plus eq over the last 30 days seems low, can you compare historically
ChatGPT said:
Here’s a clearer analysis comparing the current number of M6+ earthquakes to historical trends:
📊 Current Month (Last 30 Days)
Your snapshot shows 12 events of magnitude ≥ 6 recorded in the past month.
🌍 Historical Comparison
🔸 Global Averages
Magnitude 6–6.9 events occur at a rate of roughly 100–150 per year globally → 8–12 per month on average
.
According to USGS stats:
2024 saw 89 M6+, averaging ~7.4 per month
en.wikipedia.org
.
2021 had 141 M6+, averaging about 11.8 per month
.
🔸 Reddit Insight
Reddit summaries affirm this range:
“On average, a magnitude 6 happens every 3 days,” → roughly 10 per month
usgs.gov
.
đź§ Interpretation
Period M6+ Count Notes
Past 30 days 12 In line or slightly above recent averages
2024 (full year) ~7.4/month Slightly lower than current pace
earthquake.usgs.gov
en.wikipedia.org
+1
usgs.gov
+1
Long-term avg. 8–12/month Matches global seismic trends
🌍 The current 12 magnitudes ≥ 6 sits firmly within the expected range.
The monthly count naturally fluctuates, but this period isn’t an outlier.
âś… Conclusion
Your observation—“odd with all the volcanoes going off”—is understandable, but in terms of global seismicity, the number of M6+ events recorded last month is entirely normal. Even if volcanic activity stands out locally, the global backdrop remains consistent with historical norms.
Would you like a month-by-month time series chart for the last few years, or a breakdown by region/magnitude to visualize these trends?

stock here: I have have decades been a fan of pro-biotics, but there is more to gut types, and I have no idea how this guy has so much money to advertise on YouTube, LOL.
Dr. Gundry describes three main gut types that influence how we process food, manage weight, and maintain overall health. Recognizing your type can help tailor diet and supplement strategies. Here’s an overview based on his framework:
————————————————
Symptoms: Bloating, gas, autoimmune flares, brain fog.
Approach:
Avoid high-lectin foods, especially those not properly prepared (raw beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, etc.).
Use soaking, pressure cooking, peeling, fermenting to reduce lectin content
Monitor for symptom improvement after lectin elimination.
———————————————
Symptoms & Benefits: Regular bowel movements, good energy, healthy microbiome diversity.
Approach:
Emphasize prebiotic-rich foods like chicory, onions, green bananas, cooled white rice, mushrooms
Combine with fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi) as Gundry found that prebiotics + postbiotics = greater microbiome diversity and lower inflammation
Maintain regular intake of resistant starches and fermented foods.
————————————
Symptoms: Chronic inflammation, fatigue, autoimmune issues, food sensitivities .
Approach:
Adopt a lectin-free or reduced-lectin diet to protect tight junctions
Supplement with glutamine, polyphenols, collagen, and high-quality olive oil to support gut lining.
Incorporate probiotics and prebiotic fiber to help repair the barrier and restore immune balance.
🔄 Overlapping Gut Types
It’s common to belong to more than one category:
Many lectin-sensitive individuals also have leaky gut, especially if they suffer autoimmune or chronic inflammation.
Fermenters may not thrive unless their gut barrier is sound—so supporting type 2 with type 3 strategies can create synergy.
đź§ How to Determine Your Type
Gut Type Quiz: Gundry’s 30-second quiz helps identify your classification (surmise from social media posts)
youtube.com
gundryhealth.com
qualialife.com
.
Symptom tracking: Note if removing lectins improves digestion, whether eating resistant starch increases regularity, or if barrier-supporting supplements ease inflammation.
âś… Practical Roadmap
Gut Type Core Strategy
Lectin-Sensitive Remove/reactively prepare lectin-rich foods
Fermenter Add prebiotics + fermented foods consistently
Leaky Gut Use gut barrier-supportive diet & supplements
⚠️ Clinical Perspective
While Gundry’s system is popular among patients, it’s worth noting scientific controversy—critics say evidence is limited, and many lectin-rich foods remain healthful in standard Western diets
