Will do, Karen. If anyone else would like a plain text version of the Composite List e-mailed to him/her, just let me know. If your computer can handle it, you may also download a copy of the Composite List in a variety of formats, including plain text. I was hoping the early start and longer period to sign up and post/revise a list would take stress out of something that is supposed to be fun. There's still a week left to sign up and post or make changes to "seeds wanted" lists!

I live in St. Louis, and I take issue with the ranking. Looking at the legal boundaries of the CITY of St. Louis, yes, parts of it are really bad. But anyone who lives in St. Louis includes the COUNTY of St. Louis as "St. Louis", which the report does not. IMO, this really skews the results and paints an undeserved portrait of St. Louis. Morgan Quitno Press publishes the rankings. The president of the company, Scott Morgan, said: ".... he is not surprised to see St. Louis top the list, since it has been among the 10 most dangerous cities for years. Morgan said the study looks at crime only within St. Louis city limits, with a population of about 330,000. It doesn't take into account the suburbs in St. Louis County, which has roughly 980,000 residents. " Here is a See where it says "St. Louis City", and the little line pointing to the small light blue area? THAT is what is ranked. See the large darker blue area around it, that says "St. Louis"? That is the "county", which is not included as part of St. Louis, even though it is very much "St. Louis". Re: drcindy's comments: The area immediately around SLU is much better than it used to be, and I don't hear of a lot of problems. University City and the Central West End are still quite hip. Clayton (which is part of the County, but immediately adjacent to the legal city limit), is fabulous.....and expensive. I would rent for a year first, so she could learn the area and make the best choice for a good place to live. If I were going to SLU, I'd look at the areas of Soulard, Tower Grove, South Grand, and Lafayette Square. These are all on the good end of transition, with a diverse population and great shops and restaurants. Personally, I would not live North of SLU (not referring to SLU Med), or in North County in general. North County seems to dominate the news regarding crime. Also note that MODOT (Missouri Dept. of Transportation) is starting a MAJOR re-do of Interstate 40/64 this year. This is one of our major arteries, and will make traffic miserable if you live/work in certain areas. Here is a link to the plans The area of construction is West of the areas I mentioned, so I don't think your daughter would live there, but you never know what might seem like a great area to her :) Investment wise, ie, not taking a beating when reselling, there are a number of areas in the city that are going through a resurgence. Some for many years, others just beginning. Businesses and individuals pouring money and heart into down and out neighborhoods. A sizeable influx of new immigrants has pushed these neighborhoods in a positive direction. It's amazing what some of these areas have become, and because of location, demographics and amenities, I do not see a down side. I haven't been able to say that about a lot of areas around here. Some were quickly, (and poorly), "developed" by absentee owners who had no stake in St. Louis other than a quick profit. It seems that most of the people working on the turnaround neighborhoods live there or very nearby. I still recommend renting first!

Nice to see so many other Capricorns! The descriptions of the sign always make it seem as though social status and material possessions are all we're interested in. I'm another Cap, born in the Chinese year of the Tiger. Years ago, I came across a book at the library that combined the twelve signs of the Western zodiac, and the 12 animals of the Chinese, and had detailed descriptions of all the resulting 144 "signs". I've never been much of a fan of astology, because it seemed so vague and inapplicable -- but the entry on Capricorn/Tiger fit me to a T!

Pat, I have not heard from Indigoblue either, please remove her list. Thank you! Pat, I also noticed on the composite list that on the left under outline not all players names are showing up. I would hate to see peoples lists to get overlooked.
