text: Remember, I've been almost completely incommunicado for the past couple of weeks (inadvertently and intentionally). I mixed metaphors in a recent entry, but I hope to redeem myself in this one. Minutes after whipping up my communications communication report, Vik Dendi blasted me a URL with a screen capture of the potential iPhone device. It's the first semi-legit presentation I'd seen of Apple's alleged entry into the telecommunications arena. "Many functions. No buttons." Sounds interesting, but I gotta say that I've always disliked (to an extreme degree) any phone that lacked tactile feedback. When I want to mash "5", I don't want "4" or "44" or "45" or any other digit series! Then again, I argue that an input device is diseased if it doesn't have at least two buttons and a scroll wheel.

Pinnacle Motorsport will continue its pursuit for more podium finishes when the Formula Masters Series enters its second event this May 5-7.
Taylor Cockerton, Antolin Gonzalez, and Ben Grimes are again heading the team's three-car lineup. The trio were able to score a pole position in qualifying, plus two podium finishes and a win last month. Thus, the team is confident it can repeat the achievement, as the event will once again take place at the 5.543 km Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
With their performance, Cockerton is currently 3rd in the Drivers' Classification while Gonzalez and Grimes are 6th and 7th, respectively. "I'm super exited for round two of the Formula Masters Series at Sepang," says Cockerton. "We had a strong start to the season last month with good pace and lots of points. Since then, I have been thinking on what I need to improve in order to get better. My main target this weekend is to win but we'll see how the weekend plays out."Pinnacle Motorsport, on other hand, is 2nd in the Team Championship heading into the weekend.
Ben Grimes is looking to build on his experience. "Now that I have experienced a full race weekend in Formula Masters, I'm hoping to build on the strong finishes I had at the first round and score more points for both the drivers' and the teams' championship. I'll be pushing as hard as I can for a podium."
Antolin Gonzalez: "I'll be focusing on my race pace for this event, improving on my consistency and lap times around Sepang. Together with the team, we hope we can convert this into a top three finish and score valuable championship points."

Full Moon in Scorpio tonight at 10:24 pm PDT – Digging in the Dirt, Find Where You Hurt…
Today, April 21st, 2016 the moon will be full at 10:24 pm in the sign of Scorpio at 2 degrees 31 minutes, taking us into the watering depths. Scorpio is ruled by Mars and right now with Mars inretrograde it is taking us even deeper into ourselves. Difficult with Mars right now squaring Neptune where we may find some ugly stuff in the depths that we just don't want to look at. What negative stuff has been "illuminated" and will bring our attention to this toxic piece of "shtuff" we must look at and change it. "Energy is always there", as my teacher says, it just changes its form, and we are able to do it if we have enough COURAGE to do it. That's also Mars, courage, taking brave action when we really don't want to, but we must take a stand for right action. Unconscious actions may get us into trouble, Mars knows the territory well. We can build our spiritual muscles too, by digging into the muck and understanding we always have a choice to transform if we don't like it. Bad habits wreaking havoc on you? Toxic? This could be anything food, too much "digital screen time", drugs or alcohol, negative talk (both inner and exchanged with others) and even people who we really need to let go of to move forward for our highest being. Sometimes not stirring the pot that would let all the junk on the bottom get into the mix is also a strategy, I've heard this from some of my friends that follow the teachings of Buddha. Our minds are deep and complex and we only know a fraction of our capacities.
This full moon demands our attention on our feelings and emotions we may have tabled for whatever reason that require us to work through and sort out in some way if they have come to the surface either in a subtle way or even an abrupt loud and aggressive way. A moment to acknowledge them, feel them, let them flow in a safe place or channelled even into a piece of art work or poetic burst. When we allow our toxic stuff to be released we create ourselves anew. Forgiveness is one of the easiest and sometimes the more challenging virtuous actions we can take for ourselves and others, and maybe now is a good time for it. To have and experience true intimacy in our lives we must be able to forgive ourselves and others to be able to return to the place of vulnerability where love is. If there is a gift I'd want to give the world it would be that we all could take a moment to forgive something within us that is blocking us from experiencing a deeper more intimate love.
In the midst of writing today's blog for the full moon we learned of the passing of musician artist icon of my generation, Prince. His music brought a lot to us as we danced, cruised and considered many subjects of life in his lyrics including pain, suffering, domestic violence, sexuality, sensuality and death. Some call him musical genius, some say his creativity as an entertainer was unique and downright raw and sexy. Any way you viewed him, he touched a lot of people with his presence, his style and his music. We will be holding our ritual tribute concert on vinyl in our home tonight celebrating his music. RIP to Prince Rogers Nelson.
Here are two videos for inspiration on the theme of forgiveness: The Forgiveness Project and Jack Kornfield: 12 Principles of Forgiveness.
Blessings and love for all souls on the brave path of life.

Hi folks! As we mark the end of 2014 and look ahead to 2015 I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for a great 2014. I got to work with a lot of really great customers. You guys and gals are what I enjoy most about building custom wheels – getting to know you, how you ride, where you ride, and helping you solve your problems or meet your goals. Everyone is different, and it's a lot of fun getting to know you all.
As for the wheels I've been building, some trends are easily seen. 650B is coming on strong, I built a lot more of them this year than I did in 2013. 29ers are still my most popular wheelsize though, accounting for about half the wheels I built his year. 26″ is getting rarer and rarer, especially if you don't count fatbike wheels. Next year I expect trends to continue, an increasing percentage of 650B, more fatbike wheels, and more plus size (29+ and B+) wheels as more rims and tires become available – I've already had a few tire kickers (pun not intended) for B+ wheels.
Looking ahead, 2015 will be full of new stuff. There's several new products coming to market this year (or at least, finally becoming available) that a lot of people will be excited about. A few examples: the new Hugo "plus" rim from Stan's, carbon fat bike rims from Atomik, and there's a few manufacturers working on tubeless carbon disc brake road/cross rims that all the "gravel" riders (for lack of a better term) will be excited about. I also expect to see more disc-specific road rims becoming available in aluminum as well. I am also adding a few new suppliers to expand the products I have to offer, some on the MTB side of things, and some on the road side. I've even got my eye on a new tool or two…or even making some of my own.
Again, thank you for your business and support. Enjoy the holidays and time off work, eat a lot, ride a lot, hug your loved ones, and see you all in the new year!

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
No trip to Bucharest is complete without a visit to Romania's Palace of Parliament, world's heaviest and most expensive administrative building. Standing at 84 meters (276 ft) tall, 240 meters (790 ft) long, and 270 meters (890 ft) wide, in terms of size is second only to the Pentagon. So, unless you happen to work inside the said building, this is a chance not to be missed.
Built by Romania's former dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu, and inspired by his visit to North Korean capital Pyongyang, it is an uneasy symbol of the country's communist past. Its 1,100 rooms are spread over 12 floors and eight underground levels. However, only 400 of them, including two meeting rooms, are finished and used. The last level is in fact a nuclear bunker connected by 20 kilometers of catacombs to the sites where the main state institutions were meant to be placed.
Due to its weight, the House of the People, as it is perhaps best known, sinks by six millimetres each year, so do hurry up and visit.
Strada Izvor 2-4, București, Romania
Everyone has heard of Dracula and his Castle, Bran. Perched on a foothill in Transylvania, it dominates the landscape with its presence. However, many historians believe the famed historical figure that inspired the mythical figure of Count Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, never actually set foot in the place. Bucharest too has its own Vlad Castle, giving one the chance to chase the spectre of the Count without even having to leave town.
Located in the center of Bucharest, in the Carol Park, the castle is a reproduction of the Poenari Fortress in Argeș County, Vlad's long-time residence. Built at the request of King Carol I more than a hundred years ago, it was opened in 1906 during Romania's General Exhibition. Its tower was used as a water basin and during WWI was used by a Romanian physicist to send radiotelegraphic transmissions.
A visit to the Village Museum will transport you back in time. Opened in 1936, when most Romanians still lived in rural areas, the museum, located at Bucharest's Herăstrău Lake, celebrates an important part of Romanian culture. The houses, dating from anytime between the 17th and the 19th centuries, are spread along tree-lined alleys, perfect for strolling.
To best enjoy the visit, bring a picnic for lunch and make an afternoon of it, especially if visiting after a few intense days of sightseeing. But whatever you choose, make sure not to miss one of the most beloved and romantic old houses, simply known among locals as "the blue house." Found on the shore of Herăstrău Lake, it can be spotted from the park, opposite from the museum.
Also located in Herăstrău Park, within walking distance from the Arch of Triumph, the monument celebrates the legacy of the US singer and his lesser known Romanian connection. The first megastar to visit Romania after the fall of the Communist regime in 1989, Michael Jackson was welcomed very enthusiastically by his fans. His 1992 concert, part of The Dangerous Tour, remained forever engraved in Romanian popular culture, as it allowed them to connect, through music, with the free world they knew existed behind the Iron Curtain.
However, it also did so for another particular reason, which appealed to the Romanians' acid and deprecating sense of humor. In addressing the ecstatic crowd, Michael greeted them with the now infamous "Hello, Budapest!," a line Romanians still laugh about, which will far outlive his musical legacy.
Bucharest's answer to Paris' Père Lachaise Cemetery is the burial place of many famous Romanian writers, actors and personalities of centuries past. While many visit the tomb of national poet Mihai Eminescu, or famous 20th century singer Maria Tanase, many others come to the cemetery for its beautifully adorned marble monuments that often convey a tragic or very romantic story. For instance, the Poroineanu family's tombstone, showing an elderly man kneeling in front of a girl lying motionless in a daybed, tells the story of two young lovers who, after getting married, find out they are in fact siblings. After the young woman commits suicide, the father, overcome with remorse, also realizes he cannot live with the pain and decides to end his life. Another popular attraction is represented by the graves of former Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu and his wife Elena.
Șoseaua Olteniței 3-5, București, Romania
Romania's 40 year communist rule collapsed in 1989 after the people took to the streets and toppled the regime, one of the most oppressive in the former Soviet Bloc. During the days of unrest, that stretched between December 16-22, many people lost their lives at the hands of unknown individuals who shot indiscriminately at the crowds. Until today, the facades of some of the buildings that hosted important institutions of the communist party still bear the marks of bullets fired during the uprising. The walls of the headquarters of the architects' union, located in the center of Bucharest, on Strada Demetru I. Dobrescu 5, were kept in their post-December '89 state, as a reminder of the city's violent past.
For a quirky culinary experience, head to La Gil, and order their 'Creier pane.' You will be served with a dish comprised of pork brains fried in a bread crust. Once considered a delicacy, nowadays it has largely lost its appeal, despite zombie movies being quite popular in Romania too.
Bulevardul Aerogării 21, București, Romania
Perhaps not recommended straight after lunch, a visit to the Witches' Pond is perhaps one of the most unusual experiences one the list. Located just outside of Bucharest, in the Boldu-Creţeasca forest, the Witches' Pond, or Balta Vrăjitoarelor, is a place surrounded by mystery. Locals swear the small pond, despite being very shallow at 1,5 meters, is able to swallow huge amounts of matter, such as the mortar thrown there by the authorities after the deadly 1977 earthquake that shook Bucharest.
Located in the city center, on the lively Calea Victoriei, steps away from Bucharest's Old Center, Zlătari Church hosts the remains of a 3rd century CE saint, St. Cyprian the Mage, the patron saint of magicians and sorcerers. The small church is home to St. Cyprian's hand, which, some say, when touched, can lift spells. The church takes its name from the Roma goldsmiths that used to used to inhabit the area in the 17th century and was once a monastery surrounded by a garden that included an inn and a bell tower.
Calea Victoriei 12D, București 030026, Romania
For this one you'll also have to travel 20 kilometers outside of Bucharest to the village of Brăneşti, before Easter, the first day after the start of fasting. On that day, village men dress like women and, while wear beautifully decorated and colorful masks, run around brandishing sticks while trying to touch everyone else in the village for good luck. While some men might get a tougher treatment, nobody gets harmed, but is instead softly touched, as a symbolic act. Beware though, tourists will not be spared!
Made it this far? Then it is definitely time to relax. At Sands of Therme, located just 15 kilometers outside of Bucharest, you will be able to swim and cool off and think back on an adventure-filled Bucharest trip. If visiting in the cold seasons, Therme Bucharest, the largest recreation, wellness and entertainment centre in Europe will convince you it's time to book another trip to Bucharest.

Have you ever dreamt of a chocolate in 3D structure, with the design exactly like your face? On the other side, your kids must be a great chocolate lover, and how about gifting him chocolates in the shape of their favorite cartoon character or toy. However, now you can think about this possibility. From the University of Exeter, the lead researcher Dr. Liang Hao and his team in association with the software developer Delcam introduced the concept of a chocolate printer.
This appealing machine will basically work on the principle same as any other ordinary printer works. The only difference is the use of chocolate instead of ink used for printing. The whole manufacturing process includes three basic stages:
1) The first stage is initiated with a flat cross sectional figure just like in case of any other normal printer.
2) Second phase includes formation of complete 3-D layer with the use of melted chocolate paste which is to be delivered within machine. Therefore, the only varied factor is use of chocolate instead of normal ink used in ordinary printers.
3) Consequently, in third stage once the produced layer gets solidified, the machine automatically shifts itself to the next layer formation.
This advanced chocolate printer mainly results into a 3D structure formation by ejecting a layer over the other, on a fixed 2 D base. The various key elements are such as maintenance of optimum temperature during printing, availability of definite heating temperature when needed so as to maintain the liquidity of the chocolate. This whole process demands some specialty like first machine needs to wait till the very first layer of chocolate dries up, and then formation of the next layer of chocolate starts.
This unique invention is certainly going to be the most popular machine especially for chocolate and food industries. It is expected in coming time and even if you are less imaginative or creative, you can give your own designs just by doing little modification on some already available. Consequently, the designs can be forwarded to the company and just by pressing the printer key button, your own designed chocolate will be produced, and final creations will be delivered to you. However, it can be said that possibilities of designs are supposed to be unlimited until creative ideas will be delivered. So, at the end, you can gain satisfaction.
It has been said that this particular invention is actually a result of two technologies in the field of engineering. That ultimately leads to developments through commercial medium by flourishing the manufacturing and retail sectors. As a result of it, higher chances of employment and exciting fun ventures can also be enjoyed across the world. It is also expected that it can also raise the possibility of designing other important possessions too.
Eventually, there is no harm to accept that this is an absolutely brilliant invention in the field of chocolate industry. It's an excellent combination of chocolates with digital technology, which results into a wonderful experience. Hence, this would be successfully able to create a harmless way of producing chocolates. It is also one of the non-polluted and creative mediums of chocolate production. Eventually, this particular process can also be considered as one of the less expensive ways of modish production in modern food industry.

And I'm doing it well, thankyouverymuch.
Actually, I can't say that, I just got back from a trip to Lowes to get a new furnace filter and stuck that in.
I am also currently waiting for some paint to dry on a little piss ant project out in the garage that I threw on while waiting for breakfast to get done nukularizing earlier today.
It's a dreary day hereabouts, drizzling, overcast, damp and chilly so fuck trying to do anything outside. It does make me glad that I did get off my dead ass yesterday for a bit and cleaned out the gutters for the twenty seventh time this year.
Other than that, bupkiss.
I'm skimming the internet and watching Youtubes.
It ain't like a day off once in a while isn't supposed to be the order of the day anyway.
I have plenty of hustle and bustle in my life just like everyone else, less than some and more than others I'm sure.
That shit can all take a day off too as far as I'm concerned.

County commissioners agree more professional attitude needed
Toward the end of the regular scheduled Logan County Commissioner's meeting, all three commissioners agreed they needed to have a more professional attitude toward each other.
Note: The entire video of the meeting can be found at the bottom of this article. GNP has made video reference times for easier access in locating discussion.
The three commissioners, Marven Goodman (Dist.1), Mike Pearson (Dist. 2) and Monty Piercy (Dist. 3) could be heard with snide remarks and banter.
The remarks and back-and-forth banter slanted toward the ways previous commissioners handled their business. (Video reference 1:38:38)
"Just because you all have been doing things the same way for 40 years doesn't necessary mean their right," Goodman said who is in his first full month for district one since being elected in June.
Piercy responded, "Just because you came in here and think it ought to be this way does not mean it is right either."
Emergency Management Director
Goodman requested the agenda item requesting to receive a monthly update from Emergency Manager David Ball on items such as fire districts, standard operating procedures and emergency operations center. However, Pearson suggested the updates should continue to come bi-monthly. However, since it was not an action item no vote was taken. (Video reference 12:50).
Speaking to Ball, Goodman was wanting Ball to make contact with County Clerk Troy Cole in regards to a list of fire equipment inventory from the county fire departments. However, Piercy quickly told Ball, "David, I don't think you are his secretary. If he wants it he can go over himself." Piercy then told Goodman, "He's not your secretary. He's the emergency manager." (Video reference 17:30)
Fire Apparatus and Equipment for Coyle
Commissioners voted (2-0) to lease a 2015 F550 super-cab for $143,981.56 for the Coyle Fire Department. Goodman abstained from voting and disagrees with the current county purchasing procedures.
"I think we should do what the people who wrote this book on county purchasing procedures says is right and what the state auditor says is right," Goodman said. Piercy responded, "Well, the state auditor hasn't had a problem with it so far." (Video reference 1:38:38)
Appointment and Reappointments to EMS Board
Jim Overton and Barry Anderson were reappointed to the Logan County EMS I-1 Board of Trustees with a 2-1 vote. The action was tabled from the last meeting held on Jan. 15. Goodman casted the lone no vote. (Video reference 20:00)
Piercy made the motion for approval and was second by Pearson. Goodman intervened by saying "no discussion?"
Goodman spoke of a recent EMS audit and a conflict of interest. Both Piercy and Pearson said the agenda item did not revolve around an audit, but reappointments. Goodman quickly moved on to the conflict of interest with Barry Anderson being on the board.
Goodman said of Anderson, who is a bank officer for F&M Bank, "I'm not sure it is appropriate for a board member to also be a member of a banking financial institution."
"Does your bank profit from any deposits in your bank from the county," Goodman asked Anderson who was sitting in the audience. Anderson replied, "yes."
Goodman donates travel allowance to highway budget
Goodman requested his commissioner's travel allowance be donated to his district one highway budget account for the remaining of the year as well as and in force in future fiscal years as long as he is in office.
The motion was passed 2-0 with Pearson abstaining from the vote. Pearson said, "a donation is when you receive money and donate it back. I don't believe it is worded right." (Video reference 32:17)
Logan County Technology and Modernization Committee
Goodman requested the board consider adding the creation of the Logan County Technology and Modernization committee. The committee would make recommendations to the commissioners with plans and recommendations of where it make sense to invest, upgrade or consolidate county information systems. The committee would be chaired by a commissioner and by members of each elected county official plus the Director of Emergency Management. (Video reference 32:25)
Goodman said it is would be a similar process to the committees and processes used at the state level. At the state level, State Rep. Jason Murphey is the Chairman of the House Government Modernization Committee.
The action was tabled until the Feb. 13 commissioners meeting.
February 4, 2015 at 10:56 pm
February 5, 2015 at 9:37 am
Pearson makes a habit of rudeness, just ask the people that needed his help after last years wildfires. A few lessons in basic manners would go a long way Mike.

During the second half, Lujic had a penalty saved, the second time this pre-season he has failed to score from the penalty spot. After the farce that was last year's penalty taking situation against Gully, where no one wanted to take the penalty against in the finals, it might be nice to sort out once and for all who's the designated penalty taker. Also, at some point have to figure out who's taking our free kicks, since it looks like Nicky Soolsma ain't coming back.
The new facility at Broadmeadows Valley Park is quite nice, with a few caveats. The grandstand, while a nice addition, has very limited seating, which wouldn't ordinarily be a problem with Hume's crowds except for the fact that sight-lines from most other parts of the ground are very poor. Still, a small grandstand is better than no grandstand.
The field, too, looks in good condition, and after chatting with one of the locals it appears as if there are plans to put some new lights in at the main ground as well, with the possibility that they may consider playing night matches.
|Buggered if I can remember where I stole this team sheet from.
So, Shepparton South had a big day planned for this event. How did it all turn out? Well, to cut to the chase, we lost 4-3. I'm really regretting not having made the trip out there now, even with the appalling public transport situation; nor for having done my due diligence on this, by reading this article from back in very early January. Check out the name of that trophy for starters..
Shaun Kelly out for 2-3 months
It looks like central defender Shaun Kelly will be missing a good chunk of the 2014 season, if not all of it, after having surgery on a foot ligament injury last week. So combined with Bryan Bran leaving for the Netherlands, and the uncertainty of the left back position, it appears as if only Tim Mala at right back will be a certainty of last year's back four to be playing in his position. Nominally at least, Dimi Tsiaras can play in a defensive role, and Brad Norton might get to hold on to the left back position he held for most of last season, but there may be a surprise or two as we near the start of the season.
And in other news
You may recall that George Malamas joined the board at the most recent AGM. He has since left the board. His departure appears to have been acrimonious, at least from his part.
Sometimes, words fail me
Joffa Corfe, of Collingwood cheersquad fame, is apparently now on the Heidelberg bandwagon, as host of their TV show. Nothing I can say will make that sound any more absurd than it already is.
Fixtures come out on Wednesday. Expect two or three away games to start the season courtesy of the grand prix.

Nars just announced that they're giving one of their best-selling products a huge makeover. The #1-selling blush in the United Sates, 'Orgasm' will be relaunched in a limited-edition oversized custom compact. Orgasm is an all-time favorite among some of the biggest makeup artists in the game and their celebrity clientele, including Jennifer Lawrence.
The blush was first launched in 1999, and is one of the few perfect pink shades that can be worn by any woman. Orgasm is also almost always sold out at all locations and even online, so the bigger size will come right in handy when you just can't get enough. Not to mention that the new packaging is both adorable and modern, and designed by Fabien Baron — known for creating a ton of iconic editorial spreads and ad campaigns. This new, larger compact features a special Nars logo, a chic sheer picture of a model decked out in a hat and sunglasses as a cool overlay, and, taking things from 1999 to 2016, a #whatmakesyoublush hashtag on the mirror.
For nearly double the size of the original Orgasm compact, this jumbo-sized limited-edition version will only cost you $9 more. The special edition Orgasm blush will be available on May 1 exclusively at Nars boutiques and narscosmetics.com, and then on June 1 at Sephora, department, and specialty stores.
This is proof that you really can never have too much of a good thing.

Posted by Alex Henman on 25th Apr 2016
In January 2015, we discussed the CQC's 'Complaints Matter' Report and how the CQC will expect to see evidence that an inspected GP practice takes complaints seriously and acts upon them. In that article (Complaints:The Dots Between The CQC and The FFT), we suggested a three step process of compliance with complaint handling:
- Ensure you have a complaints policy which is accessible to staff and patients
- Train your people in handling complaints, and have a central complaints coordinator
- Make sure you keep full and frank records of the complaint made, actions taken, and outcomes seen
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has now combined its recent casework with that of the CQC, NHS England, and Healthwatch England to produce a fully comprehensive report detailing how well GP practices in England are handling concerns and complaints.
Complaint handling has mixed results
When all complaints and results of investigations are pooled, the report finds that GP practices' handling of complaints is a 'mixed picture'. Though more than half of GP practices are competent with regards to handling complaints, almost half are not following guidance and recommended procedures.
This is damaging the reputation of the entire health service in England. The GP practice is the focal point of health service provision for most people, and when complaints are not listened to or dealt with correctly it impacts negatively on the whole of the NHS.
Areas for improvement in complaint handling
The report identifies five areas where GP practices can improve their complaint handling process:
- Developing a listening culture
- Being clear about what is expected of practices
- Ensuring professional values
- Apologies and being open and honest
- Sharing learning from complaints

How to improve complains handling in your GP practice
There are a number of things that can be done in the GP practice to ensure your complaints are handled competently and in line with guidance. When considering your complaints procedure, answer these five questions:
- Who is responsible for complaints?
- How are complaints investigated and handled?
- How are patients and their relatives made aware of the ability to raise concerns or make complaints?
- What are the timelines of complaints handling?
- How do you disseminate learning from complaints received and ensure improvement in standards of care?
- How do you ensure that complainants are satisfied with the process and outcome?
When it comes to the actual handling of complaints, Healthwatch has put together a quick and easy guide called "Listen,support, respond: tips for handling complaints and concerns". We've reviewed this guide and we love it. It builds on our own "Five Steps to Dealing with Difficult Patients" in a succinct way, and highlights other resources available to the GP practice with regards to complaint handling. These resources include:
- Working with your Patient Participation Group (PPG)
- NHS England's Assurance of Good Complaint Handling for Primary Care Toolkit
Why not download the "Listen,support, respond: tips for handling complaints and concerns" today, and set a team meeting to work through as part of your team's continuing professional development? How each member of your team handles complaints reflects on your whole practice, and how your practice is viewed by its patients reflects on the entire NHS.

The Old-Fashioned. a healthy dose of bourbon or rye, a bit of sugar, aromatic bitters a plenty, a zest of orange and ice stirred till dilution perfection. That's the overriding Old Fashioned cocktail recipe. A staple in cocktail history. Created way back in the 18 hundreds and yet, with new innovative cocktails being created everyday the Old Fashioned still hits the number one spot of most popular cocktail lists, its still one of, if not the most ordered of the menu cocktail in bars all around the world. survived prohibition, is probably the cocktail with the most recipe variations. and was probably enjoyed by your dad, mum, granny, granddad, great aunt and great great granddad.
A History On The Old Fashioned
Scour the internet and you will likely find plenty stories about the origins of this cocktail, not to mention plenty of bars claiming to be the birth place of this classic cocktail. However that's to be expected. think of the bragging rights you would have if your bar or your great great granny invented the Old Fashioned. and with a drink so simple in design its difficult to find the true roots of this cocktail!
However. The popular story goes that the Old Fashioned was originally created sometime in the early 1800's following the first definition of a cocktail, which appeared in a editorial response in The Balance and Columbian Repository in 1806. Which stated a cocktail, is the combination of spirits, sugar, water, and bitters. Which is exactly what the recipe for an Old Fashioned calls for. Back then the drink we call the "Old Fashioned" would of been known as the whisky cocktail.
In 1862, A book called "Jerry Thomas' Bartenders Guide: How To Mix Drinks" was published, in said book was a recipe for an Old Fashioned Holland Gin Cocktail "Crush a small lump of sugar in a whiskey glass containing a little water, add a lump of ice, two dashes of Angostura bitters, a small piece of lemon peel, one jigger Holland gin. Mix with small bar spoon. Serve" Its likely that around this time there was a Old Fashioned Whisky cocktail, A Old Fashioned Gin Cocktail, A Old Fashioned everything cocktail. So after a time cocktails evolved and the Old Fashioned Whisky cocktail just became the Old Fashioned.
Prohibitions impact on the Old Fashioned cocktail recipe...
Time went on. Prohibition came, home-made spirits became a thing, spirits became hard to swallow and fruit got added to these drinks to mask the harsh flavours of bootlegged bourbon. Prohibition ended and all the new cocktail books featured Old Fashioned cocktail recipes with the addition of fruit. More time went by, the cocktail changed more, more people claimed to have created the drink, mixology became more of a science and innovated bartenders twisted the old fashioned into hundreds of tasty variations of the classic.
But if you need a name to attach to the origins of the Old Fashioned, James E. Pepper is that name. We wouldn't have the Old Fashioned if it wasn't for him. Established in 1780. The Pepper family brand of whiskey is one of the oldest & most legendary whiskey brands in American history. Starting with Elijah Pepper (distiller 1780-1838) and then his son Oscar Pepper (distiller 1838-1867), Oscar's son the Colonel James E. Pepper (distiller 1867-1906) James E. Pepper would stay for extended periods of time at the famed Waldorf Hotel. It was through these trips to the Waldorf that Colonel Pepper helped introduced the world to the "Old Fashioned" cocktail, which was said to have been invented in his honour by a bartender at the famed Pendemmis Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Old Fashioned Cocktail Recipe
- 50ML Bourbon or Rye Whisky
- 3 Dashes Angostura Bitters
- 1 Sugar Cube
- 1 Orange peel
- Cubed Ice
Step 1) In its namesake, A "Old-Fashioned" glass. Add the sugar cube and douse with the angostura bitters. Then add the orange peel and give a light muddle.
Step 2) Add Cubed ice and stir to dissolve the sugar. Slowly pour over the Bourbon or Rye whilst continuing to add ice and stir till the sugar is dissolved and you reach your preferred dilution.
5 Original Twists On The Old fashioned
Little word of advice. All these Old Fashioned Recipes, although are indeed. Are all Old Fashions. Each one tastes different from the last, some are sweet, some are dry, some are just plain old ordinary. Try making all of them to serve at your next dinner party to really impress (If dinner parties and all that jazz are your thing)
An Old Fashioned cocktail recipe for the classy drinkers. It needs abit of prep time to make the ingredients, but it all pays of in the end. Using the spirit infusion method called fat-washing to make a truffle oil infused bourbon, and a champagne syrup. This one is a modern take on the luxury parties of prohibition. With chocolate, truffles and Champagne. Garnished with Champagne caviar. Take a step right into the home of The Great Gatsby…
Ingredients: Truffle Oil infused bourbon, Champagne syrup and Chocolate bitters.
2) Showtime Old Fashioned
Another Fat washed infused bourbon. This Old fashioned cocktail recipe edges more to the sweeter side. Great for relaxing at home, bag of popcorn by your side, a movie on the TV.
Top Tip: Pre batch this cocktail to fill a bottle, then you dont even have to leave your sofa to get another drink.
Ingredients: Butter Fat Washed Bourbon, Popcorn Infused syrup, Angostura bitters and Saline.
3) Mezcal Old Fashioned
With its distinctive smokey flavour. Mezcal makes for a interesting replacement for Bourbon. And a complex twist on the traditional Old Fashioned recipe. The blend of Mezcal and Tequila Reposado gives you a real, unfiltered taste of Mexican tipples. Dont get me wrong. Margaritas and Palomas are some of the best Tequila cocktails out their. However, if you're looking for something new, and you truly enjoy the taste of tequila. Meaning you don't just smash back Tequila shots to get pissed! Then this is a cocktail you have to try.
Ingredients: Mezcal, Tequila Reposado, Agave, Grapefruit Bitters, Grapefruit Peel.
4) Chocolate & Walnut Rum Old Fashioned
Instead of using actual sugar. This recipe calls for sugar in the form of a liqueur. A chocolate liqueur. Chocolate and rum is a delicious combination. That cant be argued with. However, for the most part, Chocolate cocktails lean more on the sweeter side. Using it within an old fashioned recipe can add a touch of complexity you didn't think could be achieved with chocolate.
Ingredients: Dark Rum, Walnut Bitters, Chocolate bitters, Cacao Blanc.
5) Smoked Gin Old Fashioned
Gin may be the first mention of the name "Old-Fashioned" as mentioned above in the Old Fashioned cocktail history section. So it goes without saying I couldn't create 5 twists without a Gin Old Fashioned. This cocktail involves smoking with oak. Smoking the cocktail gives it that woody, aged taste that you would get with Bourbon or Rye Whisky. So dont let the Gin in this cocktail fool you into thinking its going to be a juniper forward tasting Negroni without the vermouth. This is an old fashioned through and through. So check out the recipe below for the Old Fashion Gin homage to Jerry Thomas and his 1862 guide on how to mix drinks
Ingredients: London Dry Gin, Angostura Bitters and Sugar, all smoked with oak

Vitamin B3 deficiency (pellagra) is a condition of the lack of niacin in the body.
Vitamin b3 deficiency is also known as niacin (nicotinic acid).
The current estimated average requirements for niacin for women and men ages 14 and up are 11 mg/day and 12 mg/day, respectively, according to The Food and Nutrition Board of the U.S. Institute of Medicine.
It can be found in meat (turkey, tuna, pork, etc.), plant foods, spices, cereals (sesame seeds, ginger, potatoes etc.) and whole grain flours.
Niacin and its metabolites are the precursors of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD plays role in the catabolism of fat, carbohydrate, protein, and alcohol, as well as cell signaling and DNA repair, NADP is involved in the anabolism reactions such as fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis.
The niacin deficiency leads to pellagra. Therefore the vitamin B3 is also called pellagra-preventing factor (PP).
In the past, the development of pellagra was connected with the niacin-poor diet, although nowadays most people eat enough niacin-containing foods. Typically pellagra is caused by the impairment of niacin or tryptophan absorption in the gut, in most cases due to excessive intake of alcohol. Other possible causes include disorders of the digestive system (Chron's disease, gastroenteritis, colitis, liver cirrosis), HIV/AIDS, anorexia, malignant carcinoid tumor and prolonged treatment of the tuberculosis with isoniazid.
Related: Vitamin B12 deficiency
Symptoms (vitamin b3 deficiency)
Pellagra may develop primarily (primary pellagra) as the result of poor diet or secondary because of the inability of the gastrointestinal tract to absorb the vitamin (secondary podagra).
Usually pellagra is described as the combination of 4 D's: photosensitive dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death.
Symptoms of mild niacin deficiency include:
• indigestion;
• fatigue;
• canker sores;
• vomiting;
• depression;
Severe deficiency (pellagra) presents with a variety of symptoms. Early signs of pellagra include weakness, loss of appetite, mild digestive disturbances, and psychiatric or emotional distress. On the skin occur erythema (redness) and skin lesions called pellagrodermas. Acute pellagra skin lesions resemble sunburns. The skin is red with large blisters. The changes subside, leaving a dusky, brown-red coloration. The rash is symmetrical. In the late stages the skin appears hard, rough and cracked, usually described as the goose skin. The skin is darkly pigmented. The typical sites of the lesions are the dorsal surfaces of the hands, face, neck, arms, and feet(vitamin b3 deficiency).
Nails are soft and dull with transversal lines. Keratoconjunctivitis and keratomalacia may occur. The lips, tongue and mucous membranes of the mouth are also affected – they are inflamed and swollen. At the beginning the tongue is hypertrophic, later the atrophy develops. Cheilosis (fissuring and dry scaling of the vermilion surface of the lips and angles of the mouth) is also common The lips are inflamed and achy.
Diarrhea is also common. Affected person has a poor appetite experiences nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
In mild cases the psychiatric impairment may be even unnoticed. Affected individuals may be depressed or apathetic. They complain of headaches, inability to concentrate, insomnia, fatigue and depression. Other symptoms include aggression, delusions, hallucination, photophobia (sensitivity to sunlight), tremor, ataxia (inability to coordinate and keep the balance) and spastic paresis.
The development of encephalopathy manifests with confusion, memory loss and psychosis. Later the affected persons are disoriented, confused, stuporous or even comatose.
If not treated, pellagra can lead to death.
Diagnosis (vitamin b3 deficiency)
Low serum niacin, tryptophan, NAD, and NADP levels can reflect niacin deficiency and confirm the diagnosis of pellagra.
The urine test is performed to measure the excretion on niacin.
Other tests are performed, depending on the present symptoms.
Treatment (vitamin b3 deficiency)
The main treatment is an intake of niacin or nicotinamide orally. A long as pellagra is usually accompanied by the other deficiencies and malnutrition a high-protein diet and the administration of B-complex vitamins is recommended. To reduce the pain and discomfort in the areas of the affected skin the topical emollients are used. Sun protection is necessary during the recovery phase.

The last week recorded a new wave of currency fluctuation. It is interesting how the Georgian sector responds to the existing realities and how steady the Georgian bank system is.
Giorgi Tkhelidze, a TBC Bank deputy director general in risks management field, overviews the current developments.
– Mr. Giorgi, how would you characterize the relevant currency crisis in Georgia? What factors do you consider to have inspired the currency volatility?
– We remember the currency fluctuations started in November 2014. The dynamics shows the GEL rate was quite strong last year, including in the month of October, while the currency rate volatility in our neighboring and trade partner countries emerged in August 2014. Their currencies depreciated, while our national currency showed steadiness in relation to both USD and the currencies of the mentioned countries. Nevertheless, the process was accompanied by a number of negative aspects. Our exports became less competitive. In November, the USD rate started extremely strengthening; on the other hand, regional currencies became more vulnerable and this factor affected the GEL exchange rate too. As to the outer and domestic factors, the main challenge is related to the deficit of current account. The budget spending is also very important and it was traditionally intensified in the last months of the year. In the fourth quarter of 2014 the currency account deficit worsened and this aspect badly affected the GEL rate. This process was the first reason for the GEL rate devaluation. Besides the budget spending, we should also take into account the negative dynamics in the tourism sector and in a growth pace of tourists inflows. This negative factor, to a certain extent, was related to bureaucratic approaches towards the entrance visa issuance. There is also a balance of exports and imports. Georgia's exports, especially to the neighboring countries, had already shrunk before November 2014. As a result, the currency account misbalance affected the national currency rate. The fact is the USD exchange rate, in general, strengthened in the region and the Georgian national currency could not be an exception. On the contrary, the GEL devaluation pace was much lower compared to other national currencies in the Region. Regretfully, several additional outer negative circumstances arose in July 2015. Namely, the USD rate further strengthened, the Greek crisis sensibly restricted foreign currency transfers to Georgia. However, the outer factors have played unimportant role in the recent devaluation process. I think the last depreciation was enflamed by negative expectations in relation to the GEL exchange rate.
– Amid a plunge of global stock exchanges and national currencies, including in our neighboring countries and in Georgia, what would be your prognosis for the near future?
– In this case we should also analyze main external and internal factors in relation to the dynamics in the next months. The global dynamics shows the situation has deteriorated and negative macro trends of big developing countries like China and Russia are one of the important factors in this respect, along with expectations the US Federal Reserve System will increase the interest rate in September. We should analyze the current realities in the close neighbor countries, with which we keep tight trade and economic-political ties. Regretfully, negative trends are discerned in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkmenistan. In this situation we should maintain healthy dynamics in exports and imports to prevent a negative impact on the current account deficit.
The budget spending is also of vital importance. Budget expenditures should be managed skillfully and the expenditures part of the state budget must be equally distributed to the end. The current expenditures should be also sensibly cut and the government should make a focus on creating new job places and developing new infrastructures. Foreign investment inflows and foreign currency inflows will be also very important – higher injections will sensibly strengthen the Georgian national currency.
– It is interesting to compare the Georgian bank sector to other bank sectors in the region. What are the differences in terms of regulations, structures and stability?
– I have supervised the Georgian bank system from the United Kingdom for 5 years, when I was focused on the East European financial sector of the Barclays investments bank. The Georgian bank system was a leader in many aspects. I would name many positive parameters: Georgia is a country of growing dynamics like all other developing countries. The bank sector is quickly growing. We can assert the Georgian bank sector is positively developed for many years: it is regulated conservatively; it is stable and very transparent. As opposed to the neighboring countries, the indicator of bad loans is very low and this indicator is often lower several times compared to Romania, Hungary, Azerbaijan, Ukraine. Georgia's bank portfolio could be compared with Turkish and Polish bank indicators. Moreover, the Georgian bank sector records a high capitalization level. This signifies commercial banks have accumulated capital to withstand higher losses than planned in case of any shocks and emergency situations. When making a comparison on the regional level, we should note TBC Bank obtained the right for placement of shares at the London Stock Exchange (LSE) amid the regional crisis and the rising conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The past years have registered no serious shocks in the Georgian bank sector, even the crisis phases have not recorded an outflow of deposits, no commercial bank has been nationalized and the bank sector is a healthy and valuable segment. All these factors have preconditioned more than 100 investors from Europe and the USA have invested more than 240 million USD in TBC Bank. I believe the Georgian bank sector will meet any challenges and shocks that take place in the economy time by time, thanks to the stable and strong system. This system remains steady and I believe we will ensure a correct navigation in this situation.
– Many customers complain that Georgia based commercial banks have set extremely high interest rates. Are these complaints grounded and what is the situation at the regional level in this respect?
– When discussing the interest rates, we should remember the customers have always expectations of taking less costs and receiving better conditions. We should emphasize two positive aspects in Georgia – in spring 2014 KPMG introduced a research report, under which Georgia has set the lowest interest rates compared to other countries in the region. I mean Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Serbia. In this respect we are closer to Poland, an only economy in Europe that kept growing amid the 2008 global recession. The second important factor is that along with the economic development, interest rates are also decreasing in Georgia and this is a very sensible alleviation.
At the same time, all of us should work on how to make resources more attainable, cheaper, so as the interest rates maintain positive dynamics.
– The customers also complain commercial banks show excessive caution in crediting businesses and this factor hinders a development of small and medium business sectors. Do you agree with these complaints? If you agree, why do the bank sector is so cautious?
– I think commercial banks should be provident when issuing credits to determine whether the microenvironment will be good or bad. By the way, more caution is often required in good situations, because the more positive, the less we think about the available problems. Lending and borrowing loans implies bilateral obligations between clients and commercial banks. Clients should appraise their own genuine resources and potential to identify whether they are able to serve the loan liabilities. At the same time, commercial banks should take reasonable decisions, make realistic analysis and give a correct advice to clients how adequate the requested loan is. Loans may become problematic and this aspect is also very challenging for commercial banks, because bad loans bring financial results, bad statistics and all these factors make interest rates more expensive and crediting is more restricted.
– What are the threats and obstacles hindering the Georgian bank sector development?
– We should reaffirm external factors largely determine the economic and bank sector development in Georgia. If our neighbors and partners are stronger, we will draw more investments, more tourists and the trade turnover will also increase. On the other hand, there are domestic factors – we should maintain the power and might for the bank sector stability, steadiness and quality. These two factors are decisive – professionalism of the bank sector's staff and strong regulations that are being practiced in Georgia for many years. It is of vital importance that the bank sector regulation be carried out independently in line with the best traditions of the international practice. I believe based on these two factors the bank sector will follow the correct navigation, it will be adapted to the changes to remain one of the decisive institutions and directions for the state economy development.

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Mary Wischhusen became something of a celebrity when a giant alligator broke into her home in May.
Now, she says she's getting anything but the A-list treatment from her insurance company as she tries to claim the damages the gator left behind, according to a report from WFLA.
What happened
At the end of May, Wischhusen woke up in the middle of the night to find an aggressive, 11-foot-long gator had broken into her Clearwater, Florida, home. The creature smashed windows, wine bottles, glass furniture and left holes in her walls.
The giant window toward the front of her home is still boarded up with plywood.
"There's no one willing to help me fix the problem, and I don't have the money to fix the problem," Wischhusen said.
What the insurance company is saying
Wischhusen filed a claim under her homeowner's insurance for the window and wall damage, only to have Florida Peninsula reject the claim about a month later.
"Because it was a gator that broke it, and they don't cover gators," she said. "If it was wind, they would have fixed it. If it was anything but a gator, they would have fixed it."

A new Home Survey Standard is being launched today in a bid to improve and speed up the house moving process.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, behind the move, says the new standard - which RICS members must use from June 2020 onwards - will better protect buyers and sellers, with emphasis on consumers fully understanding the importance and benefits of commissioning a home survey before buying.
RICS says the process and language that will be used has undergone simplification and survey will become increasingly standardised.
"The new Home Survey Standard will increase consistency, transparency and competency across residential surveying in the UK. The updated standard aims to deliver not only clarity to the process but more open communication which will greatly benefit property transactions and will make sure consumers fully understand the process, the different levels of surveys, and get the level they need" says a RICS statement ahead of today's launch.
Details of the new survey standard are not being revealed until later today but the new standard will become the sole standard for home surveys, replacing all previous guidance notes and statements for all levels of condition surveys in a complete overhaul.
The institution says the initiative "aims to provide a clear, flexible framework within which RICS professionals can develop their own services that consumers can trust, simplifying the home survey process for all.
"The complete overhaul of home surveys with our new Home Survey Standard will bring vital standardisation and clarity to the process, where RICS professionals can work effectively to meet the changing needs of the market" according to Paul Bagust, RICS Global Property Standards Director.

Adrenaline rush, extreme sport, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, dare or it's simply on your wishlist; Skydiving is an experience like no other and when you are in Dubai, Skydive Dubai is your destination.
"The intense wait, a racing heartbeat, a raging adrenaline rush, moments of insanity, then a strong gust of wind, shooting down at 210 km/hr" are just a few words Skydive Dubai uses to describe the thrill and we don't doubt it.
Located by the world's most premier skydiving location with views of the manmade island The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence, your journey includes a drop zone area spanning 260000m, a runway, a gear store and a Skydive Dubai Cafe.

A tandem skydive is your first step where you free fall while harnessed to one of the professional instructors at the Palm Drop Zone site.
The price for a tandem skydive with video and digital stills is AED 1999 per person. There is a deposit (valid for one year) required to confirm your reservation and you pay the remaining balance on the day of your jump.
Choose to go any day between Monday through Saturday, 8am until 4pm, all year round. You can reach Skydive Dubai by car (free parking) or use the metro, taxi or bus.
If you have prior experience, are a licensed skydiver or want to be part of the school, then you can visit the Skydive Dubai Desert Campus located on Rt. 66 (Al Ain road) just off exit No. 47, and take your passion for skydiving further.

Hello Everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have gone through another holiday season and put the finishing touches on 2014. As this New Year 2015 opens, the energy is about new potential and re-birth. This very fertile and life-affirming Full Moon in Cancer helps to nurture your intentions and energize your new creations. Plant the seeds of your psychic garden with care. By next spring, may all your gardens be abundantly beautiful!
ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE: THE FULL MOON IN CANCER JANUARY 4, 2015 by Mary Lomando
The First Full Moon of the New Year falls in the sign of Cancer, the Great Mother Goddess. She is represented as Isis, Mother Mary, Quan Yin, Sophia, and all faces of the Divine Feminine. The Moon is in its home sign in Cancer, the cardinal water sign which rules our emotions, our connection to our physical mother, our relationship to our home, our ancestral lineage and the Earth Herself. Esoteric astrology teaches that it is in the sign of Cancer that we emerge from the safety and security of the cosmic womb and give birth to ourselves as the Divine Child. After the high intensity impact of the Capricorn New Moon /Solstice stellium (see New Moon update of Dec. 21, 2014), this Cancer Full Moon gives us the opportunity to balance our inner male/female, yin and yang aspects. What choices will we be making in 2015? Do we allow our emotions to rule us irrationally or guide us effectively? How will we be using our powers of manifestation? This Full Moon is the perfect time for reflection and taking the time out to nurture ourselves and our intentions for the future.
This Cancerian Full Moon in Cancer is emphasized by a Grand Cross configuration involving the Sun and Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries, and the North Node (karmic point) in Libra. This signifies major breakthroughs" or" breakdowns" in all areas of our lives. How we define "security" and our perception of what is "real" (including our relationship patterns) comes up for scrutiny. If our only concern is material possessions and power things are going to being shaken up over the next year as humanity faces the karmic lessons of greed and misuse of the Earth's resources. The US is a Cancerian country (as is China), and we have lessons to learn about over-consumption and over-control. In this country, economic security, jobs, housing, food production and natural resources will continue to be major issues well into 2016 until we come up with new solutions and the free-will to break old habits. The message as we begin 2015 with both Venus and Mars in Aquarius and Saturn in Sagittarius (more below), is that new ways of thinking and new visions are necessary to resolve personal and collective problems. Repeating old patterns may feel safe, but stagnation does not lead to evolution. Why reinvent the wheel, when you can fly?
Venus, Mars and Mercury in Aquarius:
Mars, the masculine god of war; Venus the feminine planet of Love; and Mercury, the "Mind" Messenger, are together in the sign of Aquarius with this Full Moon. Aquarius is the sign of the New Age, freedom, revolution and technology. It is time for us to view the traditional masculine and feminine roles in a new light. The message of Aquarius is liberty and freedom for all despite race, gender or creed. Old stereotypes regarding relationships will be challenged. ISIS is the name of the Goddess who protects all women. Giving her name to a terrorist organization does not quiet her voice. Women will take a more vocal role in how the world is run, and we will learn that waging war does not necessarily mean a winning side (Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.) Discovering "peace" within ourselves and our personal relationships is a good place to begin. Finding where we share common ground with others, rather than condemning our differences will become the real "shift" in humanity's perception as the Age of Aquarius dawns.
Saturn in Sagittarius: Saturn has just moved into the sign of Sagittarius and will remain there until December 2017. We can move beyond old belief systems (Sagittarius) only when we master our fear (Saturn). Saturn is the karmic Teacher of the zodiac. The last time Saturn was in this sign was 29 years ago. As the cycle moves forward, have we learned the karmic lessons?
Cancer is the feminine water sign, the "womb of life ", and rules over motherhood and family, the tribe, our home, hereditary karmic "roots" and inherited psychological patterns. Esoterically, the sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and it is our psychic connection to the akashic records and past life memories. When we have a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs. The Cancer/Capricorn brings up male/female issues; it is the parental axis in astrology, which determines our closest relationships. Where are we being too co-dependent? Where are we being too controlling and rigid? Where do we need to establish proper boundaries? Do we deny that we have any emotional needs at all? Are we afraid of being vulnerable? Are we grounded in our physical body? Have we become emotionally obsessed with materialism? Issues around security, whether emotional or financial, tend to bring up intense feelings and fears. Some of these issues may be long-standing or karmic ones involving family and significant others; some may involve our personal security and physical well-being. But no matter what the occurrences, we are being asked to rise to the occasion and make decisions based on maturity, wisdom and experience, rather than habitual, unconscious responses.
It is important to be aware of "knee jerk" responses when our emotional buttons get pushed (especially during a Full Moon) and feelings are close to the surface. All of the cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Capricorn, and especially Cancerians) may feel exceptionally emotional during this Full Moon. It is important not to dwell on past losses, but to move forward. The sign of Cancer is the "gateway" into life experience on this planet. Where the sign Cancer falls in your birth chart is where you are being asked to clear away old karmic conditioning and be open to the love in your life. No matter what our Sun Sign, this Full Moon is a good time to spend a few quiet moments reflecting on what is important in your life; what you are thankful for; and what you would like to change or create by next spring. Since this Full Moon falls on a Sunday (and so close to New Years' Day), it is the perfect time to reflect, renew and recharge yourself. Take a walk in nature, look at the stars, share a hug with someone, and remember that Love is what really matters in life.
MHG Editor Note: Mary is available for personal Astrology readings and she is highly recommended. For scheduling, please contact her directly and reference her articles on The MotherHouse.
