It might be a good idea to attend a gym class with your dog in order to learn about the standard equipment of the course, the safety measures required and so on. For the indoors version of this activity, you can use towels,blankets or your dogs toys as obstacles. Always make sure that you leave enough space between them, especially for jumps.

A new animal study shows how insulin controls the movement and storage of fat molecules in the liver and how a breakdown in this system could lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and changes in circulating lipid levels associated with cardiovascular disease. Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania published their findings this week in the Journal of Clinical Investigation ( JCI ).
"The production of triglyceride in the liver and its secretion into blood are closely linked to nutrient availability and insulin levels," said senior author Paul Titchenell, PhD, an assistant professor of Physiology and a member of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism. "After a meal, insulin tells the liver to package and secrete excess nutrients into triglyceride-rich lipid particles into the blood for use by the rest of the body."
After eating, glucose rises, which induces insulin release to control blood sugar levels by increasing glucose uptake and reducing glucose production by the liver. In addition to glucose regulation, insulin also controls blood lipid levels in part by increasing lipid synthesis, uptake, and storage in fat cells.
In the paper, the team demonstrated that mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), a protein super-molecule made up of several smaller proteins, is essential for very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglyceride production. VLDL-triglyceride molecules are exported by the liver and carry lipids to peripheral tissues. "This is important because in metabolic diseases associated with insulin resistance the liver makes more triglycerides, which leads to increased levels in the blood and eventually cardiovascular disease," Titchenell said.
In mice, the absence of mTORC1 in liver cells caused a build-up of triglycerides in the liver, thereby reducing circulating triglycerides. On the other hand, activation of mTORC1 depleted liver triglycerides and increased blood triglycerides. Titchenell identified an important cellular process controlled by mTORC1 and demonstrated that mTORC1 controls the production of another class of molecules called phospholipids, which are essential for the triglyceride export from the liver. Phospholipids are necessary to form a barrier around triglyceride molecules allowing for their export and transport throughout the body.
"In insulin-resistant disorders such as diabetes and obesity, hyperactive mTORC1 in liver leads to excess fat production and export," Titchenell said. "mTORC1 is what we want to target pharmacologically to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease that is associated with obesity and diabetes. If we could affect mTORC1 in a balanced way, then maybe could help prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and heart disease."
In the future, the researchers aim to unravel the precise mechanisms that mediate mTORC1's control of phospholipid synthesis to uncover novel drug targets with the goal of reducing the excess lipid burden during metabolic disease.

Journal Reference :
In 2010, on my friend's couch in Brooklyn, I noticed that Facebook was shipping user affiliation data over the wire to me, so I decided to store it. Facebook allowed apps to store data for which user permission was granted, but urged developers not to request or store more than it needed to operate. Putting affiliation data in the Cow Clicker database allowed me to provide leaderboard rankings by network, allowing my players to compete for clicks with their work colleagues or classmates.
That's neither a terribly interesting feature nor a particularly wicked one. But because I stored the numerical identifiers for user affiliations, I still have them. , I could use a database-query tool called FQL, Facebook Query Language, to the details of those networks, and correlate them back to my users. Had I wanted to, I could have recombined that information with other data and used it for retargeting.
Cow Clicker's example is so modest, it might not even seem like a problem. What does it matter if a simple diversion has your Facebook ID, education, and work affiliations? Especially since its solo creator (that's me) was too dumb or too lazy to exploit that data toward pernicious ends. But even if I hadn't thought about it at the time, I could have done so years later, long after the cows vanished, and once Cow Clicker players forgot that they'd ever installed my app.
This is also why Zuckerberg's response to the present controversy feels so toothless. Facebook has vowed to audit companies that have collected, shared, or sold large volumes of data in violation of its policy, but the company cannot close the Pandora's box it opened a decade ago, when it first allowed external apps to collect Facebook user data. That information is now in the hands of thousands, maybe millions of people.
To be honest, I'm not even sure I know what the Facebook platform's terms of service dictated that I do with user data acquired from Facebook. Technically, users could revoke certain app permissions later, and apps were supposed to remove any impacted data that they had stored. I doubt most apps did that, and I suspect users never knew—and still don't know—that revoking access to an app they used eight years ago doesn't do anything to reverse transmissions that took place years ago.
As Jason Koebler
Prada Leather Slingback Wedges Huge Surprise Online Outlet Perfect QuTaDV6Q
at Motherboard , it's too late. "If your data has already been taken, Facebook has no mechanism and no power to make people delete it. If your data was taken, it has very likely been sold, laundered, and put back into Facebook." Indeed, all the publicity around Facebook's Cambridge Analytica crisis might be sending lots of old app developers, like me, back to old code and dusty databases, wondering what they've even got stored and what it might yet be worth.
Facebook's laissez-faire openness surely contributed to the data-extraction free-for-all that's playing itself out now via the example of Cambridge Analytica. But so did its move-fast-and-break-things attitude toward software development. The Facebook platform was truly a nightmare to use and to maintain. It was built like no other software system then extant, and it changed constantly—regular updates rolled out weekly. Old code broke, seemingly for no good reason. Some Facebook app developers were dishonest from the start, and others couldn't help themselves once they saw the enormous volume of data they could slurp from millions or tens of millions of Facebook users. But many more were just struggling to eke out a part of their living in an ecosystem where people might discover them.

"What do you mean we cannot carry on this war?!"
Lord Goeting: "Well, my lord, a full-scale attack on the passes is suicide by default. Apart from that we can't march either way, lest they execute Lord Hilter and Lord Skarr."
Junatan: "Then buy their freedom for a ransom!"
"We've already offered to do so, but the Kingdom has refused to release them within the year."
Lord Grahel von Adlersflügel: "Likely they wish to use the time to rebuild their lands and armies. Not an unwise move, considering they are still fighting that Falx Republic. Someone's also been harrying our supply lines, making an offensive difficult. For now the wisest thing to do would seem pulling back and hoping the Kingdom lacks the force to cross the desert and attack us here."
Lord Daerion: "Who cares about those passes? My ships can carry your armies across their seas and stage an attack from behind! They are unaware of the Drakhirri's existence, we will catch them by surprise!"
Cassandra: "Have you been paying any attention at all? You hardly have the ships to transport a proper army, let alone fight the Royal navy. Picking up our army and sailing back unnoticed would be impossible. Even if you had the necessary ships, that still wouldn't solve the problem they have hostages."
"Ah, and what would a woman know of warfare? You are the one that let herself be foolishly lured outside, correct?"
"How dare you!"
"You have only brought me failures and defeats. For now, we will bide our time. Make sure you and your men are more prepared next time we march. Train hard, and do it inconspiciously. Now leave. You're unworthy of my presence."
Lord Goeting (whispering): "Unbelievable how he could blame his own failures on us. It's his decisions that cost us this war. If he hadn't relieved General Skaie off his command and used the White Dragon Knights more effectively..."
Sir Jaiko: "Word."
A while later
Cassandra: "My lord, I left it out of the regular report, but we've sighted another demon at the battle. However it was destroyed easily and still appeared weak. Still, it is a good sign."
"Some good news at last, but it's not enough. I want to know who's been harrying our supply lines. Take a contingent of your men and ride out at dawn. If Phineus - or whoever is in charge of the Black Citadel - has been ambushing my convoys, I want them to pay for it, got it?"
"Yes my Lord. Gladly. I have an idea who is behind these strikes however, and I do not think it's Phineus or another necromancer for that matter..."
"So do I. Bring me his head either way, especially if it is him."
"With pleasure."

Hi all.
Was hoping to get a few ideas / thoughts from you on the new cobalt point motors (with inbuilt decoder).
Am toying with the idea of using these in the future.
One "issue" springs to mind: have of you got any thoughts on the use of an accessory bus with the new cobalt?
I use an accessory bus that drives my turnouts / signals which is entirely separate from my track bus. If using the new cobalts to power the frog, the feed to the frog will be from the accessory bus rather than a track bus.
If a loco overruns a point, it would, presumably then short both the track bus (through the stock rail) and also the accessory bus (through) the frog. Uhmm...
Any ideas?

Re: New cobalt point motors with inbuilt decoders
The description of the motor says it has two SPDT switches same as the non-digital ones, so no problem with frog powering. Power the frog switch with track power and the motor with accessory bus power.

Mapping EU action on Gender Equality: from the Treaty of Rome to Quotas
Harvard Club Belgium/Brussels
8 October 2012
Ladies and gentlemen,
To talk about women on boards is very much en vogue these days. Discussions around that theme often turn out to become passionate or ideological. That is why it might be interesting to look back and trace the origins of today's debates. Allow me therefore a little excursion into history.
Since its early days, the European Union has had the competence and the authority to act on gender equality. The Treaty of Rome in 1957 already included a provision banning discrimination on grounds of sex. The background to this Treaty provision was mostly economic: the Member States (in particular France) wanted to eliminate possible distortions in competition between undertakings established in different Member States. France had adopted provisions on equal pay for men and women much earlier and it feared that cheap female labour in other Member States (notably Germany) would put French undertakings and the economy at a disadvantage.
In 1976, the European Court of Justice ruled that Article 119 had both an economic and social aim. As such, it was the European Union that contributed to social progress and the improvement of living and working conditions of women across the European continent. Economic and social objectives are therefore the two sides of the same coin in gender equality.
I still remember the important Defrenne case (1971) in front of the European Court of Justice: Ms. Defrenne (a flight attendant for the Belgian national carrier SABENA) complained about unequal pay for identical work performed by male and female crew-members. In its judgments the Court clarified the scope of European gender equality law. The Court confirmed that the Treaty principle of equal pay for equal work was directly applicable and can be relied on in national courts. As a result, the Defrenne judgments paved the way for modern European gender equality law. It has been followed by an impressive amount of case law.
A long time has passed since the Defrenne cases. SABENA no longer exists, but Europe has made remarkable progress towards equality between men and women. We have combined our resources and instruments (legal, political and financial) to bring about change.
As the European Treaties empower us to adopt measures to ensure equal opportunities and equal treatment in matters of employment and occupation, the Commission has over the years taken a number of legislative steps on gender equality in employment. For instance, we inscribed the principle of equal pay in European law, we established the principle that women and men must have the same promotion and training opportunities and we adopted legal instruments covering gender equality in social security and for self-employed people. European rules on maternity leave and parental leave exist since the 1990s.
Today, more women than men graduate from universities: 60% of university graduates are women. Today, more women work in Europe than ever before: on average women account for close to 60% of the workforce across the EU. Today, Europe is making more use of its talent and better use of its skills. It is now clear that women and men cannot be discriminated against on grounds of gender. Be it in employment and occupation, vocational training, social security or access to goods and services: women and men have to be treated equally. This is the legal situation.
The road to effective equality remains, however, long and full of obstacles. And in one area, the reality is particularly disappointing – gender balance in economic decision-making. In particular, gender diversity in the boardrooms of European companies is showing no signs of improvement. Across the EU, company boards are currently dominated by one gender: 86.5% of board members are men while women represent just 13.5%. 97.5% of the chairpersons are men and only 2.5% are women. If you compare this to the 60% of female university graduates, you understand that something is profoundly wrong.
Women and men should have the same opportunities to take leadership positions. This principle was clearly set out in the European Commission's 2010 Strategy for Equality between women and men. And, in the Commission's Work Programme for 2012, we announced a legal instrument to improve gender balance on company boards by the end of 2012.
Why did we need to take this step?
Because despite an intense public debate, good intentions and many promises, the situation has not changed significantly in recent years. I presented the facts and figures in a report in early March: only 13.7% of positions in the highest decision-making bodies of the major listed companies in Europe were held by women at the beginning of this year. The progress over the years has been very slow (on average: 0.6 percentage points per year since 2003) and very diverse across Member States. Tangible progress is the exception and not the rule. Progress is only visible in countries where quota laws were introduced. This is for example the case in France: after adopting a legal quota in January 2011, France has seen the number of women on boards increase by 10 percentage points, jumping from 12 to 22 % in the space of a year.
In other Member States (8 Member States have even not taken the 5% hurdle) progress has been dramatically slow and this despite the fact that there are many good reasons for a stronger female presence in the decision-making bodies of companies. Let me name a few:
First of all, there is a clear business case. Numerous studies - by Crédit Suisse, McKinsey, Deutsche Bank, Ernst and Young and others – show that companies with more women in top management enjoy better governance and financial performance. The McKinsey study has, for instance, shown that companies with women on their boards outperform their men only rivals with a 42% higher return in sales, 66% higher return on invested capital and 53% higher return on equity. Or take the Crédit Suisse study which shows that, over the past six years, companies with at least one female board member significantly outperformed those with no women on the board in terms of share price performance. According to the Boston Consulting Group, 70% of household purchasing decisions are made by women. These are not just about supermarket items or new shoes. Women also decide about buying houses and cars. So, if more women than men are coming out of university, if a substantial percentage of the staff at a company is female, if women drive 70% of the buying decisions, what possible business rationale is there for keeping women out of the boardroom?
For me all these studies and facts make it crystal clear: women mean business and profit.
But there is also a clear macroeconomic argument for more gender diversity on boards. The glass ceiling that keeps women out of decision-making roles is likely to discourage women from using their full professional potential. And poor career prospects discourage women from continuing in paid employment. The reduced labour supply in turn hampers economic growth. This is a price that we cannot afford to pay: ageing European societies have to make full use of their talent if they are to successfully compete in a globalised world.
We have to bring more women into leadership positions fast! We have no time to lose. During economically challenging times, exacerbated by an ageing population and skills shortages, we should be making use of every talent available.
The growth in female leaders being very unequal across Member States, we are also confronted with a possible distortion of our internal market.
There are practical complications for listed companies operating cross borders due to divergent legal requirements or corporate governance rules. The lack of transparency of the selection procedures for board positions does not help either.
Yes, we are used to diversity in Europe. But this one is not beneficial; it is a barrier to a well-functioning Single Market.
On the one hand, we have countries where there is a complete standstill.
1. In two thirds of the Member States nothing has been done and no progress has been made in recent years.
2. On the other hand, we have Member States where a lively public debate has resulted in self-regulatory efforts. For example, in the UK following the Lord Davies report, the rate of women on corporate boards jumped from 13 to 16%. The same happened in Germany where politicians and journalists started a heated debate that led to increased efforts by DAX-30 companies. In Germany, the so-called Berlin Declaration, a cross-party initiative, called for a 30% quota and the Bundesrat agreed on binding quota legislation.
3. However, visible progress has been achieved only in the third group of countries, those which have introduced quota legislation. The lack of progress by means of self-regulation has prompted 11 European Union countries (Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Austria and Slovenia) as well as the European Economic Area Member State Norway to choose different legal solutions, including mandatory quotas, to strengthen gender equality on company boards. In the Netherlands, the percentage of women in decision-making rose from 15 to 19%, in France from 12 to 22%.
If we look at EU figures excluding France, the share of women on corporate boards did not increase by 3.5% but only by 1.1 percentage points between October 2010 and January 2012. That means that one Member State alone is responsible for almost half the improvement we have seen across the EU in 2011. To put it frankly: outside France, there has not been much progress at all.
Today, we face a fragmented set of rules and regulations, some are binding, some voluntary, and in some countries there are no targets at all. This is hardly the coherent, reliable legal framework businesses need - especially when they want to do business in the EU's Single Market.
This piecemeal approach creates practical problems for the internal market, as different company laws and sanctions for not complying with different quotas, could lead to complications, in particular for multinational companies. Legal uncertainty can have a deterrent effect on companies' cross-border investments and on the establishment of subsidiaries in other Member States.
And we must preserve a level-playing field in the internal market when it comes to competition. This is yet another reason for Commission rules in this area.
Of course, I hear voices against European action – saying that self-regulation works. Let me tell you: it does not!
In 1984 the Council of Ministers recommended1 that Member States ensure active participation by women in decision-making bodies. In 1996 the Council of Ministers recommended2 that Member States encourage the private sector to increase the presence of women at all levels of decision-making. Result: zero. In 2001, a voluntary code was signed in Germany. The analysis of the results in 2011 also showed no progress.
I have encouraged companies to self-regulate. In March 2011, I urged listed companies to sign a voluntary commitment called the "Women on boards pledge for Europe". When the year was over, only 24 companies had signed this pledge. The message for me rang crystal clear: self-regulation on its own has not and will not produce results.
We need to act at European level. And we need to act now. On the basis of a three months public consultation and a thorough economic analysis the Commission is considering an EU-level legal instrument to accelerate progress. The final decision on such an instrument will be taken by the College of Commissioners before the end of this year.
I also often hear the argument that there are not enough women qualified for board positions. I also hear that choosing a woman would mean giving priority to gender over merit. I disagree with both.
In March this year "the European Business Schools/Women on Board" initiative prepared a first list of more than 3,500 board-ready women to support my activities to break the glass ceiling. These women were selected according to strict criteria (top level studies, long management experience). They meet all the requirements to sit in the governing bodies of companies. Today there are already 8,000 top-level potential candidates on the list. These figures clearly demonstrate the abundance of female talent. All we have to do is to open the doors of the boardrooms to these highly qualified women.
The Business Schools Initiative is actually a very good example of the important role that Alumni networks can play in the process of getting more women into corporate boardrooms. Alumni networks are an important 'eco-system', bringing together many constituencies throughout their careers, as part of the Biz School Network. At the same time corporations who support business schools are often donors of chairs, sponsor programmes, institutes, etc. Very often the CEO's of these corporations sit on the Board of the Business School. They can avail themselves of the senior executive women talent in the wider eco-system of the school and its networks.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
At the moment, we are having internal discussions in the Commission to finalise our proposal for improving gender balance on company boards. I am not alone in this battle: all the European Commissioners with a relevant economic portfolio have joined me in this battle: Antonio Tajani (Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship), Olli Rehn (Economic and Financial Affairs), Michel Barnier (Internal Market and Services) and Lazslo Andor (Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion) will present this proposal with me: I am confident you will see the final result in the months to come. For those who say that an EU instrument would mean discrimination of better qualified men I say: do not fear. I can assure you that our proposal will observe the highest fundamental rights standards as set out in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Qualification and merit will remain key criteria for a job on the board. If no equally qualified candidate from the underrepresented sex is available, a sort of 'flexibility clause' will solve the problem. All we are asking for is this: Women must be given the same opportunities as men to get their rightful place on boards. In times of economic difficulties, we cannot waste talent.
Council Recommendation 84/635/EEC of 13 December 1984 on the promotion of positive action for women.
Council Recommendation 96/694/EC of 6 December 1996 on the balanced participation of women and men in the decision-making process.

1. Re: Issue with creating footnotes outside 3-column text frameSteve Werner Sep 23, 2011 12:56 PM (in response to Sebastian Konczak)
You'll have to create your footnotes manually, not using the InDesign Insert Footnote feature.
This is one of many limitations in the current implementation of footnotes in InDesign—a half finished feature.

Can we do such thing in indesign? delegating footnote text to other frame than footnote number's frame?
Hi, Sebastian:
As Steve noted, InDesign's footnotes are an incomplete feature. You can add your own request to the many others asking for improvement here: wish
Depending on your needs, this might work for you:
* Create a new paragraph style with a new numbered list. Create the footnotes in the manually-created page-width text frame at the bottom of the page, using the numbered-list paragraph style. Insert cross-references in main text that point to the faked-footnote paragraphs; define the cross-reference format to capture only the paragraph number. Create a character style, with superscript and other desired properties, for this fake footnote reference number, and apply it to the selected number.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign cross-reference tutorial," "InDesign cross-reference format tutorial," and similar phrases without quotes for details.

Peter Kahrel makes available a bunch of scripts for dealing with footnotes and endnotes in InDesign, including some for IDCS3 and later that might help you achieve what you want -- not that I have tried them.
Good luck,

Thanks everybody for response. I think Peter Kahrel's solution is the way (at least for now)
Thanks again.

Following on word earlier today that the game would have periods of exclusivity to both EA Downloader and GameSpot comes the additional wrinkle that the game will appear on IGN on Friday evening, though the new schedule does not specify whether or not Friday evening marks the point at which other mirrors could carry the file.

Any questions? Contact us!
Q: When will my order ship?
A: Almost all our items are made to order. Orders will ship within 14 business days. During certain peak seasons (Christmas, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day) shipping may take longer. Our current turn around time is always shown on the sidebar of our site.
We do our absolute best to get orders out in a timely manner:)
Q: Why have I not received any emails about the order I just placed or if it has shipped?
A: Order confirmation emails are sent immediately once an order is placed. Please check your spam folder for this email. If you have not received one then your order may not have gone through.
Q: My order is a gift, will the package include pricing information?
A: No need to worry! Packages do not have any invoices or pricing information.
Q: What does hand-stamped mean?
A: Each lettering or image is stamped by hand onto the metal using a steel stamp and a hammer (no machines are used). For this reason sometimes the text may not align perfectly. Any variation is an enhancement to the unique quality of your piece and not an imperfection. This is what adds to the character and charm of the jewelry. **Hand-stamped pieces are custom made and are not returnable.
Q: Will your rings turn my finger green?
A: Possibly. The reason for your finger turning green is usually a chemical. It's due to a combination of the metal and the acids in your skin. A ring made of copper or brass is a common culprit, but even sterling silver can cause discoloration.
Fix: Apply a clear nail polish to the interior band of your ring. This creates a barrier between your skin and the metal so that the ring can't turn your finger green. Just remember to reapply the coating often because it tends to wear off over time.
Q: What is your return policy?
A: If there is a problem with your order please contact us within 5 days of receiving your order. HorseFeathers Gifts strives to meet the expectations and full satisfaction of all our customers. We are not able provide refunds on "custom" orders. If the error was our mistake, we will fix it immediately and will refund the return shipping fees.

"…Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you've got to do is call, and I'll be there…you've got a friend…"——Carole King
Check it out. I am closing in on 400, people.Facebook Friends, that is.
Now I realize that, compared to the numbers my children have racked up (986, Julie? Really?), this is chump change, but I am thrilled in a Mom sort of way. My large-ish posse is mostly comprised of people I actually do know, for one thing. Oh, there's one guy I do NOT recall accepting a "friend" request from, but clearly I did. He has "liked" my status a couple of times, and I am eager to unfriend this "friendly" stranger. But I can't figure out how to do that quite yet, and am too proud to ask my kids.
Anyway, my Facebook Friends and I enjoy going to the movies and shopping and on trips together, having long discussions over wine on the porch, sharing stories of our children and their antics. (Does being stopped by the police in 9th grade for walking with friends to McDonald's at 3 a.m. count as an "antic"? Hope so!) When one of us is sick, the other is at the door and at the ready with chicken soup, People magazine and sympathy. We tell each other our deepest secrets and know they will be kept; we would trust them with our very lives.
Ohhhhh, right. They're not those kinds of friends. My bad.
The word "friend" has undergone a sea change in recent years. Now, thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, it refers to any random person in (or out of) your life who has even the most marginal connection to you. What do they really know about you? Oh, they all know your birthday. ("Have a great one!") Your unfortunate addiction to Farmville. Your penchant for posting "hilarious" YouTube videos of babies, monkeys, baby monkeys, etc. For many in your ever-widening circle of chums, that's about it.
But what is a friend, in the classic sense of the word?
For starters, if you have more than a handful in a lifetime, you've hit the jackpot. A friend is in it with you forever, whether that be a brief span or from diapers to, well, diapers. Friends eat your kitchen experiments — deflated soufflés, charcoal briquets that once were steaks — without complaint. They help you look on the bright side when the color you painted the entire house dries more SCREAMING PURPLE than Smoky Lilac. They drive you to scary doctor's appointments and hold your hand for the test results. Real friends can speak truth to you with so much love that the truth is bearable. Friends like that are rare as black pearls, and need to be treasured as such.
We're not all that lucky at various stages of life. As our family relocated often, I gamely tried to become part of the "gang" at Epiphany School, Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, St. Jude School and so on. In those days, as the eternal New Kid, I attracted the Mean Girls like a magnet. Peggy and Pam and Linda heaped scorn on my outfits, my hairstyle, my lisp. My Mom had similar pre-teen experiences, and so did my daughters. Ah, girlhood! Are we having fun yet?
It took three more family moves and three high schools before I found more than one lifelong friend, and a long time after that before my handful grew at all. Our wild and crazy theater years provided lots of laughs with our eccentric fellow actors, but when the show closed, so, most often, did the relationships. By and large, that was just as well. Conversations with these buddies tended to revolve around themselves to a humorous degree. ("But enough about me. What did YOU think of my performance?")
Cliché as it sounds, having children and joining a church were the keys to developing some of my very closest friendships. These folks are my "black pearls," and I treasure them beyond all telling.
In this world of "more" — more things, more distractions, more casual connections —friendship is an invitation to have "less." Less stress. Less worry. Less pretending. A chance to stand before the mirror of our friend's eyes and accept, lovingly, the person we see reflected there. Friendship is powerful, powerful stuff. Life-changing stuff.
How rich our lives can be with such companions. So let's reclaim the word from the social network, shall we? I have 398 contacts who are on Facebook. I do not have 398 "friends" and, I'll wager, neither do you. Let's end this ridiculous numbers game. And when we find our true friends, then we can count ourselves among the blessed ones.
Ed. Note: Not that anyone asked me, but I can't resist the temptation to say it anyway: I am not on Facebook and have declined countless requests to be a "Facebook Friend." I do not care what "friends" are doing every second of the day, and if "friends" want to know what I am doing every second of the day, they should check themselves into a mental institution.

Erin's December 2016 News
- Details
The Solstice of 2016
This T-Square is super-dynamic and brings ancient myth alive today . . . as if we are back in the origins of Western Civilization the archetypal agencies of the gods are as lively and virile as in the Iliad, on the battleground of Troy!
War is an opposition . . . one which should – if such a thing can be morally correct – have rules of engagement, defined boundaries, specific enemies and allies, uniforms, internal affairs, and so forth, but here we have Jupiter (Zeus) opposite to Uranus (Ouranos) and Pluto (Hades) forming a 45 degree angle – a square to that opposition – thus we have a "T-square" . . . a complex conversation indeed. And this one is masculine dominated – a woman cannot get a word in edgewise it seems. And the feminine function in men is at a loss to find itself. Both the angles as well as the planets are aggressively poised and totally masculine in their primordial function.
This is not a comfortable conversation between the two rulers of the upper air: Jupiter opposing Uranus and squared by Pluto conjunct Mercury. This configuration is literal: we have a global philosophical/ideological and cultural schism that has been fueled by the most catabolic aspects of human nature – fear of "the other" the foreigner, the unspeakable different ones.
The breaking down of workable systems, negotiation and functionality has put half of the world in bare survival mode. Ultimately, the Jupiter Uranus opposition cycle is creative, heralding new and revolutionary social / global ideals – while its polarity also symbolizes the global (Jupiter) Holy Wars going on now, with all the high tech toys (drones, computerized systems etc.). Pluto and Mercury t-square lasts all year off and on, and that is where danger and death come in, both ecologically and culturally. So, my father was correct 60+ years ago – humanity is educated beyond its intelligence!
Zeus/Jupiter is also known as Zeus Xenios – the patron of strangers or travellers . . . however, the polarity to the protector is the attacker. The root of xenophobia lies in that epithet of Jupiter/Zeus and fear, hatred, projection, anxiety and so on are very much a part of Jupiter's character.However, there is a pathology to Jupiter, the coiled underbelly of spirituality and religion - I'm sure you already know about the dogmatist, the false guru, the inflation of grandeur and sophistry! Jupiter gone bad, so to speak.
This characteristic is magnified to its most chaotic form, by Jupiter's opposition to Uranus . . . so what we are really looking at is the horrific level of madness involved in the political arena in the USA. (Not to exclude the rest of the world, mind you!) Where the possibility of the man who is considered the president elect presents all the symptoms of mental instability, that include characteristics that in important public situations, he is chaotic, irrelevant, off-topic, demeaning, cruel, without any gifts of Epimethean foresight. He has a form of arrested adolescence where there is no cortical connection between action and outcome.
The omnipotent and omniscient side of Zeus that is both powerful and helpful, benevolent and kind, can equally be absolutely disastrous if it becomes an autonomous function in the psyche and not cooperative with the other planets. If Jupiter inflates and takes control, and one becomes the archetype without individuating that vital force, then a high moral tone is poured over everything. The result is usually a rejection of all things outside one's own belief system and the imposition of one's own will and dogma on anyone who will stand still long enough.
An inflated Jupiter could actually be quite mad, or it could be a compensatory device in the unconscious of a person who suffers terribly from feelings of inferiority. That's where you get the split between others and the self - this is me, that is you: I'm ok, you're not.
That would be, of course, a form of xenophobia (remember Zeus Xenios?) and is the shadow function of Jupiter, the pathological underbelly. Ideally, expansive, generous Jupiter would lead one to accept the fact that individual people and cultures are different and also correct and just in their own right; and beliefs are relative. The ruthlessness that Jupiter exhibits at times, especially as a religious or political fanatic, or simply as an insufferable bore, is incredible.
Hubris-Overstepping your mortalityHubris – overstepping one's mora, one's lot, one's destiny, is a Zeus associated pathology . . . and if we do overstep our mortality, our person-self, then Zeus will bring ἄτη – Atë – upon the committer of Hubris.
Atë, is a Greek goddess, and a daughter of Eris (Strife) and/or Zeus.
Like most of the archetypal women of the ancient Greeks, she is quite dreadful! As the Goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and folly, Atë also refers to the action performed by a hero, usually because of hubris, that often leads to his (or her) death or downfall – a kind of madness occurs – megalomania, narcissim, sociopathy. Often ruin (Atë) actually precedes the downfall of a Dark Triad personality.
Her name is synonymous with a condition of the mind that means: Zeus will take your wits away! This is rampant in politics and business, and frankly in everyday life – however we are on the verge of being "ruled" by leaders who have this condition, this loss of wits and sensibilities, who have no concept of dignity or grace in battle. Atë is becoming a rather serious condition: we are in a plague of witlessness, a madness, a profane state of superiority over others.
Ever at the ready, Hermes, psychopompos – guide of the soul and go-between of Hades and Heaven – is stationary retrograde now and conjunct Pluto at this moment and thus, winging madly between the most potent forces we have on planet earth, and, one hopes, is mediating the conflict of ideas and beliefs. Mercury will station direct around the 10th of January, and be back conjunct Pluto in the last week of January. *(We will also be reflecting back 8 years both personally and collectively when Venus turns retrograde in March . . . but I will write of that closer to the time.)
Between mid-Dec 2016 and the end of January 2017 there will be massive upheavals in all political arenas on a global scale. (This rampant instability actually continues on through 2017 – 2022).The USA in particular, is in a state of utter confusion, with its impending inauguration January 20th – which may or may not happen in accord with the rules. In fact, looking at the world condition, the USA Sibly Horoscope and the Zeitgeist it would not surprise me if there were an obstacle to the 'president elect' taking office at all, OR not being able to sustain the importance and contain the authority, of the position as the President of the United States.
If he was the head of FBI, like J Edgar Hoover was in the nineteen thirties on, who was mad himself, a delusional paranoid and a persecutor of those whose "crimes" he himself was committing, then maybe he could get away with it, but as president, no . . . so the USA has a major issue on its hands, and it would affect the entire world status and stability. O my.
Hermes Mercury also is a shape-shifter, and like Zeus Jupiter, has the power to "maze the minds of men" – and as he flits and flies to and fro, he can also be the trickster who comes in as a wild card, a surprise element and creates chaos all around. This is happening in the USA in a focal way – the conversation now within the USA itself and in its horoscope is deeply divided – as the last great empire, it appears to be collapsing from within.
The 'conversation' I speak of is rife with punishment, aggression, separation, isolation, war, segregation, and also pure nonsense – it is a trickster the USA has brought to the helm and interestingly the coyote Trickster himself has a full moon in Sagittarius/Gemini – 'ruled' by Zeus and Hermes. The elected president has a Zeus complex, and thus the curse of hubris, as well as the Trickster of Hermes at his (short) fingertips and the volatility and irrationality of an uncontained Uranus. It is straight out of the great mythology of the ancient Greeks: and, he has a string of female minions who have morphed, to look like clones – and are all attached to him like the women of Zeus who were enchanted and vulnerable.
The confrontation (opposition from Zeus/Jupiter to Uranus/Ouranos) is about two sky gods struggling for balance and ultimate rulership. Shall it be innovation, brilliance, positive change OR outright misuse of power, technology and human dignity and rights. Our global condition is dire, we all know that . . . and in this ethos we try to become more conscious and aware – but of what?
In the pain of the horror and atrocities being consciously committed by people to other people, and also happening in the forms of ecological disaster, as I write, there seems no logic. Logic comes with patience and forethought. We have no time for that it seems.
SO What Can I DO????
At the least we have a very important conversation taking place in the collective – it is being interpreted in thousands of languages and dialects, and also being processed by many billions of minds in totally unique ways. We have heresy and dissidents and positive radicalism like the nineteen sixties' writ large. There are activists and rebels and heretics who are NOT taking the path of darkness, but are working to self-improve, thereby improving the collective consciousness by that much.
This period of hubris and destruction is an opportunity to examine the depths of our souls and the reaches of our minds. We have the chance in all of this to "cleanse" our selves as much as possible, of the global contamination . . . where is our hubris, our dislike of "the other", our inflated ego and persona? How can be benefit spiritually and psychologically from the collective experience?
Cultural revolutions are taking place under these radical aspects we have been immersed in most recently (since August 2010 when Uranus made a waxing square to Pluto, both changing signs as well in that phase) and the social, cultural, sweeping consciousness revolution of the Uranus/Pluto conjunction began to unfold AGAIN.
Yes, war is war and it is always bad for 'the people' . . . but this is now sooooo complex that it is incomprehensible to most of us. To take in all, and remain functional is impossible. OK, so we need support and filters . . . we'll go there later . . . how to navigate yourself and consciousness to a place of
relative harmony, and accord in the attempt to reconcile what IS with what SHOULD be, could be might be WILL be.
This conversation is about necessity and innovation, it is about knowing death but not making it happen – we have to be realistic and NOT afraid . . . this is a strong conversation under stress, it basically is telling earth people that there are no answers but good questions and actions.
We are caught up in a serious collective psychological condition that all of you reading this are finding it hard to get a grip on – actually, you do have a grip on it, you do get it, but you may not yet have found your ability to understand why there is such horror and confusion, and projected hatred. Also because this is a shape-shifter global guerrilla war, we don't really have a grip on it. It is fueled by the invisible as well as the obvious . . . therein lies the conundrum – we don't understand what we understand.
I don't pretend to know how to solve this global catastrophe we are in, I don't think anyone does . . . however, we have to "think big" – not only be like Carl Sagan – think: "billions and billions and billions of years". But, also we have to think small, up close and personal: your family, friends, tribal connections, what small or great humanitarian act can you do today? And, what inner work can you do to not pet the black dog? Can you think differently from what you may fear, or even see in the course of a day out in the world. You can also limit your intake of news. Keep informed, but do not take it on yourself to solve anything, except your own strange little issues!
And this is only 2500 years of the Age of Pisces, and the rulership of the sky gods . . . give or take a few hundred years for evolution – there is a lot of 'wiggle room' and overlapping and evolutionary throwback and leap forward in making absolutes about epochal time frames and knowing statements of what happened 3,000 years ago in the realm of the gods and mortals. We are beginning to discover ancient cultures, and it would be lovely if we still could do so and keep some of them alive!
Yesterday is fine to discuss, but the relief I have found in these turbulent times – is to think BIG. Look at the long-range cycle, a philosophical and archetypal worldview . . . but one thing is certain: the Piscean Age has never been without war, never. It has been profoundly about empire, religion, ideology, supremacy, acquisition, dominance, power, control, ascendancy, and collective projection of "the bad" onto whomever or whatever is in the way of power, control, achievement, procurement, purchase and acquisition! And, in particular a total and absolute attempt (and successfully it seems) to suppress the feminine function and the results are a disaster . . . This is what has to emerge from now – a compassionate, fiercely loving, protective, sustainable passion for life – not death. As Freud would say: "It is the Eros/Thanatos dialectic". Go for the Eros!
These heady days of amazing achievement and technology has also spawned its bad seed. We now are voluntarily victimised by Social Media for example . . . but that's another story . . . For now we will look at 'civilization' in a focussed but general way . . . if you can.
So, in the end, what I can do, and you can do and we can do is to work with what there is, stay as "clean" as possible, and contribute what you can, give when you can, pray like mad, don't dwell in the cave of media and terror, but come out into the open air and seek community . . . or create it!
I wish you a rich, important,
and personally peaceful New Year!

(Reuters) - Peyton Manning, who led the Denver Broncos to an appearance in last month's Super Bowl, has been fully cleared to play next season, according to a report on the National Football League's website on Monday.
The 37-year-old quarterback's annual checkup was mandated as part of the five-year, $96 million contract he signed in 2012 after missing the 2011 NFL season following multiple surgeries on his neck.
The examination was considered a formality since Manning played in each of his team's 19 games during the 2013 campaign, which ended with a loss to Seattle in the Super Bowl.
After getting the all-clear, Manning's $20 million salary becomes guaranteed for the 2014 season, according to a report that cited a source in the Broncos' organization.
Manning, who set single-season records in the 2013 campaign for touchdown passes and passing yards, is expected to take aim at Brett Favre's career touchdowns record, needing 18 more to lead the all-time list.

Amc1029 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 114 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Achie Hare
I am what you would call a "creative entrepreneur". I have several businesses & wear many hats. I am also an internet marketer. However, I am now beginning to work on my passion. I am an up & coming motivational speaker who will motivate and transform the lives of young ladies & women. I lost my mother at the tender age of 14 and went through years of trauma that I kept hid deep inside. I would love to help the ladies who are going through the same thing so it will no longer affect their destiny and purpose in life. I consider myself to be somewhat fashionable and trendy so I would love if the logo conveyed that.
My primary target audience will be for females between the ages of 12-22. However, I want the logo to be appealing to all. I plan to tap into a new market; however, I want to reach my current internet/network marketing followers to introduce them to my new project. I plan to speak in schools, non-profit organizations, fundraisers, etc.
Take a look at my website so you can see how things look: http://www.achiehare.com.
Also, please look at my photos & videos on Facebook & YouTube so you'll see my style and demeanor: http://www.facebook.com/achiehare & http://www.youtube.com/achiehare
Very soon I will be getting professional pictures taken so my photo can be attached to my logo. I will be creating material to sell so the logo must also look good on CDs, DVDs, Books, etc.
Other requirements:
1. No clip art or photo stock
2. I would like a logo of some sort to go along with my name: Achie Hare. However, if you can make the design of my name look good by itself, an additional logo isn't required.
3. I live in the metropolitan area of my city, so it needs to be sleek, fun & sexy.
4. Feel free to experiment with colors. Of course I want something girlie - but not childish or cheap looking.
Please see uploaded files of examples that I like.
