Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of EvilOriginally appearing as a series of articles in The New Yorker, Hannah Arendt's authoritative and stunning report on the trial of Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann sparked a flurry of debate upon its publication. This revised edition includes material that came to light after the trial, as well as Arendt's postscript directly addressing the controversy that arose over her account. A major journalistic triumph by an intellectual of singular influence, Eichmann in Jerusalem is as shocking as it is informative—an unflinching look at one of the most unsettling (and unsettled) issues of the Twentieth Century. This edition includes an introduction by Amos Elon. |

Well, I can't tell exactly who it is laughing in this photo - but those blue feet sure make me chuckle. (And no, the water's not that cold - he's wearing swim colorful shoes!)
See how this slide is named "Chuckles"? That because there are four slides and they are not in the same order on the bottom (at the finish) as at the top (where you start).
So if there's a specific slide you want to be sure to experience, take a look at the bottom and choose from Chuckles, Giggles, Laughs or ... Tee Hee.
That's right. We have a slide named Tee Hee.

Many of my patients (and even more of my relatives) tell me that their arthritis pain is affected by weather. More remarkably, for many the joint symptoms precede any obvious weather change — often my patients say they are better at predicting weather than the weatherman. Could that be true, or is it another well-accepted, untested medical myth? Maybe the claim is just a commentary on the accuracy of our meteorologists. But there have been attempts to study how weather affects symptoms of joint disease. The results may hold clues into how our joints work, how to treat the pain and why there is such variability in symptoms over time.
The Case For Weather Affecting Arthritis Pain As I learned about joint disease during my medical training, no one taught me that weather mattered. Yet I heard it so often from my patients that I wondered whether there was something to it. After all, the lack of convincing evidence and the fact that it is not taught in medical schools do not prove that there is no connection between weather and arthritis: that is, "absence of proof is not proof of absence." So, besides the stories of individuals who are absolutely convinced about weather's role in arthritis, what is the evidence that weather affects joint pain or that joint symptoms can actually predict the weather? The medical literature dating back at least to 1859 describes theories (though no proof) that changes in barometric pressure at least partly explained changes in joint pain. In addition:
The Case Against Weather Affecting Arthritis Pain Studies finding a link between changes in weather and changes in joint symptoms have almost all relied on "subjective" measures of arthritis — that is, pain, reported by patients, increases or decreases with some a particular weather feature. There are far fewer studies relying on examinations by physicians or results of blood tests that might be more reliable measures. In addition, for each study finding an effect, there seems to be another showing the opposite effect or no effect. Is It All Intuition? A study in the April 1996 Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found no association between arthritis (measured by patient report of pain or by the observation of swelling by an examiner) and weather, even though the patients thought that a strong relationship existed. More remarkably, when the data was presented in graphic form to 97 college students, many thought correlations existed when none did (according to standard statistical analysis). As summed up by the authors of the study, "… the intuitive notion of association differs from the statistical concept of association." They attributed this phenomenon to a common human attribute called "selective matching," in which we tend to remember when two things occur or change together but remember less when they do not. For example, many people assume that they are allergic to particular foods because they became ill soon after eating it, neglecting the many times before when they had eaten that food without a problem. Although some may represent true allergies, it is likely that for many the illness was just a coincidence. Similarly, people with arthritis may notice what the weather is doing when their arthritis is worse, but take less notice of the weather when their arthritis is stable or improving. Weather and Arthritis — Does It Matter? Some would argue that even if weather did affect arthritis, there would be little practical importance to proving it. We cannot readily change the weather, so we are left with whatever options are currently available for the treatment of arthritis. However, some people with arthritis move to a climate they think will be better for their condition or have received that advice from their doctors. More importantly, if we did figure out the exact way weather affects the joints, it could lead to better treatments to counteract that effect. For example, if a particular chemical in the joint increased whenever the barometric pressure rose and that led to an increase in joint inflammation a day or two later, perhaps a medication to counteract that chemical could be taken as soon as the weather report mentions rising pressure. The Bottom Line It has not yet been proven that weather reliably affects arthritis, although it has not been disproved, either. Attempts to study the effects of weather are fraught with difficulty. There are many different types of arthritis and many different features of the weather that could act in combination to have an impact on joint symptoms. In fact, it is not clear that a definitive study is even possible. Given the widespread belief that weather matters for arthritis pain, it's probably best to assume there may be an effect that we do not yet understand. If it is true that arthritis sufferers can predict the weather, it might be the only good thing about having arthritis. Robert H.

Easton hints at new Prince of Persia franchise
In an exclusive interview with videogaming247, Prince of Persia community development manager Chris "UbiRazz" Easton has hinted that the upcoming Prince of Persia title's plot may lead to more games.
"This game is a whole story on its own and players are going to live through a complete adventure," he said when questioned whether we'd see this new Prince appear in future titles.
"That said the story may lend itself to something more…"
Prince of Persia will be released on PC, 360 and PS3 at the end of this year.

Prince of Persia co-op now a "possibility"
Speaking to videogaming247, Chris Easton – Prince of Persia's community development manager – has said that co-operative play in the upcoming action reboot may be explored.
An earlier statement, given by producer Ben Mattes at the recent Ubidays event, said that there would no co-op in the game at all.
"There are no plans for co-op as of now, but we may explore the possibility," Easton told us.
Co-op seemed as natural feature of the game, given that play centres on the Prince and constant sidekick Elika, and it would seem that hope is not yet lost, despite Mattes' comments.
Look out for more from our exclusive chat with Chris later this week.

Hello, I've recently migrated to LMDE XFCE, and I've tun through some problems, like no vertical scroll in my alps touchpad, and no wireless. I've solved the wireless problem and the touchpad one seems to require Kernel changing.
But this post is just about a tiny problem, in the last update the xfce-terminal seems to have lost it's color highlight abilities, and It's very annoying.
If I type "ls --colors=auto", the output is colored, so it is capable, how do I fix this so everything is automatic colored? starting from the name@host thing =]

Shopping for groceries has never been easier with the Fisher-Price Little People Shop N Roll - Pink by Moose Mountain. This adorable scoot along ride-on features pretend groceries, removable shopping basket, sound activated scanner and pretend cell phone. Your little one is ready for a day of shopping fun. Since 1930, Fisher-Price has been in business to create toys that fascinate and stimulate a child's imagination. Fisher-Price was founded in 1930, hardly the best time to launch a new business as the shadows of the Depression still loomed over American business. Still, Herman Fisher, Irving Price and Helen Schelle combined their diverse manufacturing and retailing experience to create a toy company and confidently brought 16 wooden toys to the International Toy Fair in New York City. The whimsical nature and magical surprises of those first Fisher-Price toys quickly caught on and became the hallmarks of Fisher-Price ever since. Fisher-Price believes in the potential of children and in the importance of a supportive environment in which they can grow, learn, and get the best possible start in life. Fisher-Price supports today's families with young children through our breadth of products that includes GeoTrax, Imaginext, Little People, Laugh and Learn, Thomas the Tank, Thomas and Friends, Elmo, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Sesame Street, Smart Cycle, Ni Hao Kai-Lan, Toy Story and other learning toys and pretend play items.

This rider is great for toddlers just learning to walk and they will love it until they are 4 or even 5. I have bought so many of these for all my kids and now for my grandchildren. My 3 1/2 year old grandson still zooms around on his. The great thing is the wheels are tucked under so that when their feet go back to push off they don't run into the wheels. This one is so cute with the little basket in front. Carries a small baby doll or groceries! VERY sturdy construction, with extra gadgets and noises. The back support is great for those learning to walk as well. Excellent loved toy.

About Me First Time Parent, Working Parent
This is a nice addition to toys for our 13 mo old. She loves to push it more then ride. Pros: scanner and cell phone make noise along with two other buttons and she likes that, basket of items keeps her entertained. Con's: the seat I feel is too small and she sits on it backwards cause easier get on and off for her, the bottom of car stops too low so when she pushes it and it goes over her feet it scraps top of foot. Overall I did a price match with another store and got for cheaper and it entertains her for 5 min at a time which is great for me so I can start dinner.
She loves it!!

I bought this for my 15 month old and she loves it. The only problem is that her 4-yr-old brother likes to steal it from her sometimes. Definitely a good buy for us. She loves to climb and ride on it and so far we haven't any falls or injuries. The only downsides are that the stickers were lined up wrong and so they are peeling off (not a big deal to me). And if you leave the sound on while child is riding, the scanner will beep and beep and beep while they move. Thankfully you can turn the volume down or off!

The Samurai Star Chopper is the Zord of the Green Samurai Ranger in Power Rangers Ninja Storm. It is a swallow-like helicopter armed with laser cannons.
This was the only personal Zord of a Ninja Storm Ranger to survive the last battle. Lothor had damaged the system that opened the Samurai Star's portal. It currently lies dormant in its hiding place since the loss of the Green Samurai Powers.
Samurai Star Megazord
The Samurai Star Chopper can transform into its own battle mode. In its Megazord form, it can make use of the helicopter rotor on its chest like a giant shuriken, and Power Spheres for additional weaponry.
Samurai Storm Megazord
The Samurai Star Chopper can combine with the Storm Megazord to become the Samurai Storm Megazord. It replaces the Dolphinzord to become the right arm. It can perform a blast from the back of the Samurai Star Chopper.
Samurai Thunder Megazord
The Samurai Star Chopper can combine with the Thunder Megazord to become the Samurai Thunder Megazord. Like the Samurai-Storm Megazord, the legs form large energy cannons on either side of the Thunder Megazord's head that work in concert with the two smaller cannons on its lower torso. This combination also has the added advantage of flight.
Hurricane Megazord
See also: Karakuri Giant Tenrai Senpuujin
The Storm Megazord, Thunder Megazord, and Samurai Star Megazord are able to combine into one Megazord known as the Hurricane Megazord; however, to do so, the Red, Crimson, and Green Rangers must drop the three Power Spheres needed to create the Ninja Firebird (Power Spheres 15, 16, and 17), which become the head, crown, and fists of the Hurricane Megazord. The arms are formed in the same manner as the Thunderstorm Megazord, but the Samurai Star Megazord is disassembled and become the chest armor of the Hurricane Megazord. As the name implies, its finishing move, Typhoon Power, creates a powerful wind storm which is barely counteracted by both the tractor treads on its feet and smaller rotors on its back. The Dolphinzord does not form a part of this combination, yet the Blue Ranger is in the Hurricane Megazord cockpit. This is the only Zord combination where all of the Rangers are seated in a common cockpit; all others have them seated in their individual Zords.Samurai Star Drones
Two copies of the Samurai Star Chopper were created by Cam which could be remotely controlled. This allowed the formation of both the Samurai Storm Megazord and Samurai Thunder Megazord at the same time; however, they were not shown changing into Megazord Mode. The two Drones only appeared in one episode of the series because they overloaded quickly after the finishers of the Samurai Storm/Samurai Thunder Megazords were used.
- Ironically, the Samurai Star's Super Sentai counterpart was destroyed in a suicide attack, which makes it one of the few Zords that survive in Power Rangers but gets destroyed in Super Sentai instead of the other way around.

If only the walls of the Ambassador Apartments in Dundee could talk.
They could tell of the Spanish Revival building's former grandeur and of the wealthy Omahans who once lived there.
Or maybe they could help sort out the ugly battles that have ensued among the owners and construction contractors who have spent nearly five years and about $4�million to revitalize the building.
The apartments have gone from a rundown remnant of the 1920s to an updated complex with historical character that won it a Redevelopment of the Year Award from an industry group.
But behind the original Spanish tile, parquet floors and plaster walls, financial and legal battles continue to plague the project.
Since the renovation began in 2008, there's been a bankruptcy, a foreclosure auction, six construction liens, a delinquent tax payment and multiple lawsuits.
"We all got into this thing, and it's just been like the Tom Hanks classic 'The Money Pit,'" said Randy Wheeler, an Omaha landscape designer who co-owns the building.
In the movie, a naive couple buy a fixer-upper that falls apart almost as soon as they get the keys, and construction lasts far longer than planned.
But, of course, the movie ends happily.
The same can't be said yet for the years-long saga at 111 S. 49th Ave.
The Ambassador's former and current owners are fighting each other. So are the current owners and project subcontractors. Additionally, a few subcontractors and former owners have been to City Hall to argue the project shouldn't get tax incentives.
The combatants agree the end result is a good project for the city, Dundee and, ultimately, the building's residents.
But the consensus ends there. In an illustration of how contentious the renovation has become, there isn't even agreement about who owns the building or how many apartments it has.
Subcontractors and former owners say two apartments that didn't exist when the Ambassador was built in 1928 have been added. If they were, the 30,000-square-foot building would need fire sprinklers throughout.
Jay Davis, who oversees building inspections for the City of Omaha, said his office has reviewed floor plans dating back to 1928. He said it didn't appear apartments had been added, but the plans are unclear on one unit. He and a fire marshal will inspect that unit next week.
The owners are advertising 20 apartments.
Two families are living at the Ambassador. However, Davis said Friday that the property had failed a final city inspection because of problems with a garden-level egress window, which he said was a "major code violation."
Wheeler said he knew there were problems with the window, but he wasn't aware that residents shouldn't be in the building. He said the window was being taken care of Friday. "I think we're fine," Wheeler said, "but we'll do whatever (inspectors) need us to do."
As for ownership, James Merrick, a former Ambassador investor, has sued for a partial claim to the property because he said it was transferred fraudulently at a foreclosure auction. Current owners are Wheeler; Neil Willer, an apartment manager; Carol Jones, a real estate agent; and Bob Sadler, an electrician.
Public records and interviews reveal how things got to this point:
In September 2007, a group of real estate developers and investors bought the Ambassador Apartments for $1.9 million, with the help of a $955,000 loan from Dundee Bank.
The group intended to renovate the units and sell them as condominiums by the spring of 2009, said Jason Plog, one of the original developers.
But disagreements erupted over leadership and payments. "It was a very fractured partnership," Plog said.
About a year and a half after buying the apartments, the group had to borrow roughly $600,000 more, Plog said, which included refinancing the mortgage.
The injection of cash didn't save the project. By December 2009, the apartments were in foreclosure, Plog said. The owners, operating as OSC Ambassador LLC, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in March 2010.
At a foreclosure auction in June 2010, four of the original investors bought the building for slightly more than $1 million to continue the renovations.
Since then, the owners — former and current — have been entangled in lawsuits.
Seven of the original owners, including the four who now own the Ambassador, sued Plog and three others to win back their initial investments. Plog countersued. The litigation is ongoing.
In January of this year, Merrick filed his suit against the current owners, saying they intentionally let the mortgage default for their financial benefit. That's also ongoing.
At the end of May, the general contractor, Rosacker & Associates of Omaha, sued for more than $355,000 worth of unpaid labor and supplies.
After a construction lien filed in March for the same amount wasn't taken care of, the company sued, said President David Rosacker.
Five subcontractors also have filed liens against Ambassador Apartments LLC and OSC Ambassador LLC since 2008, county records show. The value of three of those liens — which were filed in March and are pending — is included in Rosacker's suit.
"In December the owners told us they were kind of hitting some financial issues and to just keep working," said Mike Corrado, the former on-site project manager. "That lasted until March, and finally we said, 'We're drawing a line in the sand. We're not working for free.' "
Corrado said he hasn't been paid since November.
According to Corrado's lien filing, he is owed about $31,500 for his workers' labor. He said he plans to file another lien for $9,000 to cover his own labor.
Wheeler, the current co-owner, attributed the payment delay to a dispute over invoices and "services rendered."
"We have compensated contractors up to a point where we felt we were being taken advantage of," Wheeler said.
For now, the public dueling continues. The Omaha City Council on Tuesday is scheduled to vote on the current owners' application to use more than $500,000 in tax-increment financing to help fund the project.
Some of the original owners are fighting to get the application rejected, saying Ambassador Apartments LLC has violations of its contract with the city.
Among them: TIF agreements require developers to pay real estate taxes on time. A check of Douglas County property tax records Wednesday showed the owners hadn't paid $12,286 in taxes that were due March 31 and $353 in interest.
"That was an oversight on our part," said Wheeler, who wasn't aware of the overdue payment until a World-Herald reporter asked him about it. "We really goofed."
By Thursday, the taxes had been paid.
City Attorney Paul Kratz said the loan "is not going to fall apart" because of a delinquent payment. He told subcontractors and owners who testified at a public hearing this week that their concerns are civil matters with no bearing on the TIF proposal.
Meanwhile, the current owners are marketing the apartments — one- and two-bedroom units plus a three-bedroom, two-story penthouse. The apartments have granite countertops and stainless steel appliances; a washer and dryer in each unit; barrel ceilings with crown moldings; new heating and cooling systems; and updated plumbing and electrical.
In the end, Wheeler said he just wants the conflict to be over and to wipe his hands of what he considers to be a bad business deal. Subcontractors said they want to do the same.
"We got sucked into this, and it's just been one thing after another," Wheeler said. "But the building itself and the Dundee area are wonderful, and in the end I think it will work itself out."

Bass Kitchen presents A.Skillz on 6th December @ Timbuk2
Fri 06 December at 11:00pm until Sat 07 December 2013 at 05:00am
2013 has been another amazing year for the Bass Kitchen crew. We've had some truly amazing DJs down to grace the decks at Timbuk2. But we're not quite done yet. On Friday December 6th we have none other than the man like A.Skillz in attendance. There's not really much to say about how awesome this is going to be, if you know about A.Skillz then we're going to be going over old ground. But for those of you who need a refresher, here we go: "He has worked across the UK at FabricLive, Spectrum, Chew The Fat, Supercharged, The Boutique and Sugarbeat as well as gigs around the world at major events, festivals and music industry parties such as The Hit Factory (New York), WMC (Miami) and Field Day (Sydney). In 2003, A.Skillz released his debut album TrickaTechnology alongside Finger Lickin's Krafty Kuts. The album was a nod towards musical influences like De La Soul, James Brown and Jurassic 5, enlisting artists including Kurtis Blow, Real Elements and Ashley Slater. February 2004 saw A.Skillz and Krafty Kuts team up on the TrickaTechnology Tour with live MCs from the album playing shows all over the UK. The duo then played at Glastonbury Festival, Pacha (Ibiza) and a live session for Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1. In October 2004, A.Skillz then embarked on his first solo tour of Australia which saw him play to sell out crowds in all major capital cities, gaining new fans and respect from fellow DJs along the way. He followed this by extensive gigs in the UK and a busy studio schedule producing music for Channel 4 (Talk Back), Renault (TV advert) and Sony PlayStation (Gran Turismo 4). A.Skillz kicked off 2005 in January with a mini-mix for Annie Mac that was later voted best mini-mix of the year by Radio 1 listeners, beating industry heavyweights such as Basement Jaxx, Mylo and Scratch Perverts.[citation needed] He followed this with a series of remixes including The Fort Knox Five and a re-rub of his own track "Simple Things". Highlight gigs last year included 10:15 (San Francisco), Snow Bombing (Austria), Mystery Lands Festival (Amsterdam), Homelands (UK), and Live 8 After Show Party (London). A.Skillz was awarded with the title 'Best DJ' in February 2012 at the Breakspoll International Breakbeat Awards. The awards were hosted at Cable in London. A.Skillz also picked up the award for 'Best Free Track'." We've also got some of Bristol's finest back for more BK duty in Room 2 mixing it up with the BK residents: Dr Fly, Mishima, Guy the Rev, Hi-Hat, Wobbling Wookie, Boundski, Cynapse, Nebzta and Mista Hinglish.. As usual the shenanigans commence at 11PM sharp. This will be a sell out night so you are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to purchase your tickets in advance from Bristol Ticket Shop: http://www.bristolticketshop.co.uk/ or call them on 0117 929 9008 Scores on the doors are £7 in advance or More on the door. See you down the front. https://www.facebook.com/events/170872819775031/?context=create#

New England clinics on alert after meningitis outbreak
MERRIMACK, N.H. (WHDH) -- New England Pain clinics are on alert after learning drugs investigated in a nationwide deadly meningitis scare were injected into their patients.
"Our primary concern is the health of the patients. We're not even thinking who's at fault or anything like that," said Tom Barnes, Pain Care Clinic Administrator.
Pain care clinics in Somersworth and Merrimack, New Hampshire receive drugs from New England Compounding Center in Framingham. Those drugs are suspected in a fungal meningitis outbreak in six states. Five have died and 35 are sick due to these drugs.
NECC voluntarily shut down operations and recalled the drugs in question, but not before more than 17,000 vials were shipped across the country.
Health officials are urging clinics to immediately stop using any drugs from them.
"This is an extraordinary precaution because we don't have any reason necessarily to believe there are problems with the other products," said Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo of the Massachusetts Bureau of Healthcare Safety.
One hundred eighty-six patients in New Hampshire alone received the drug. So far, none have reported to be ill.
"I visited both ERs in the area and talked to one of them and left them information. I want to make sure they have everything that they need and they understand what needs to be done if any of these patients are to arrive," said Barnes.
In addition to the two pain clinics in New Hampshire, clinics in Rhode Island and Connecticut also received the drugs in question. No clinics in Massachusetts have received this drug and no Massachusetts residents have come down with fungal meningitis.

Floods paralyze Indonesian capital; at least 4 people dieTHE Associated Press | January 18,2013JAKARTA, Indonesia Indonesias army deployed rubber boats in the capitals business district Thursday to rescue people trapped in floods that inundated much of the city of 14 million people. The president was pictured standing in water up to his shins his trousers rolled up at the palace waiting for the arrival of Argentinas leader on a state visit.
The floods were the most widespread to hit Jakarta in recent memory. Authorities said at least four people were killed and 20,000 evacuated. Many more homes were inundated following around five hours of heavy overnight rain that coursed through rivers already swollen by a long monsoon season.
Few areas in the city were spared, from wealthy suburbs to riverside slums and gleaming downtown business blocks. Offices and schools were deserted and traffic ground to a halt. The international airport was operating normally, but travelers were finding it hard to get there.
This is horrible, said Yanitha Damayanti, a bank teller stranded downtown. For the first time in my life, downtown Jakarta has flooded.
The city has long been prone to floods, but successive governments have done little to mitigate the threat.
Deforestation in the hills to the south of the city, chaotic planning and the rubbish that clogs the hundreds of rivers and waterways that crisscross the city are some of the factors behind the floods. The citys vulnerability exposes the countrys poor infrastructure even as it has posted impressive economic growth in recent years.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the countrys foreign minister were pictured standing in water up to their shins at the presidential palace waiting for the arrival of Argentinas President Christina Kirchner, who is on a state visit. The meeting of the two leaders apparently went ahead.
I have no problem with the palace being flooded, Yudhoyono said. The most important thing is the people are protected.
In some places, water levels were up to 2 meters high. Seen from above, the main road through the heart of the city resembled a muddy river. Even as authorities struggled to rescue those trapped and provide them food and shelter, some were thinking of the economic cost.
This is an extraordinary disaster, said Syamsuddin Basri. I had to cancel many important business deals.MORE IN Wire NewsCONCORD, N.H.

Weekly Astrology Horoscopes December 8-14, 2013
*New Moon in Sagittarius December 2, 2013
Weekly Astrology Horoscope written by Symbolic Living are now posted on Mondays each week.
Weekly Astrology Horoscopes December 9-15, 2013
Be sure to read your Sun Sign, Moon Sign and Ascendant sign for a more holistic picture.
...Click here to read the rest of these horoscopes: Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces
Aries: Even though it is holiday season and many people are getting together, for you especially, you're going to have a few surprises. Visitors may show up unannounced or you may get a last minute notice that forces you to rebalance your life. At times you may feel overwhelmed, but take it all in stride and enjoy what is brought into your life. For some of you you've already gotten the surprise notice and now you have to ensure you get your house in order. Try not to spend too much to make things just right. Also, make sure you don't put more than you can handle on credit. Whatever you're offered, stay on budget. The due date will arrive eventually so make smart choices. Spend personal time with people this week and you'll feel energized
Taurus: You may be feeling the pressure of getting a lot done. Getting yourself organized and planning your time is really essential now. Make lots of notes so you don't forget. Keep your daily planner on hand. Try not to wait to the last minute to get your shopping done. Remember that the holidays is more about the love you share than the price tag on the gifts you give. Meaningful gifts that you know people will love because you put a lot of thought into them will be well received. The message you get across that comes from the heart is the most important thing. Also, take care of your nose, throat and ears. Colds settle in easily when you're among crowds of shoppers. A hat and scarf may be your best friend before the holidays.
Gemini: With your ruler now in the early part of Sagittarius and Jupiter in your second house you would do well to focus on what you're grateful for. Positive affirmations that reaffirm how blessed you really are matter now. Money matters are important for you too, so focus on maintaining a sense of self-assurance that you have enough. The risk now is that you may feel so abundant that you are willing to spend on frivolous things that really don't matter. Be careful, having too much confidence in your wallet can cause you to forget that savings are important. You never know when something around the house suddenly needs to be fixed and digs into your financial reserves. Stay positive about your money, but also stay smart. Spontaneous laughter will bring your energy into balance, so don't be afraid to let loose and have a fit of the giggles that leave your abs sore. Good conversations will bring you surprising insights.
Cancer: You may be drawn to lavish and luxurious items to make you feel good about yourself. Well, that can sometimes help, but don't let your identity get wrapped up in externalities. Instead, now you will find feelings of warmth and comfort by sharing from the heart with those around you. Focusing on good friendships and positive relationships, romantic or otherwise, builds up your confidence. The beauty you see in others is actually also inside yourself, which is why you feel good to acknowledge other's inherent charming goodness. It's a good time to put some elbow grease into making your home feel more alive and balanced. Planning with the big picture in mind can be overwhelming. Your mind finds a sense of ease when you focus on the step by step approach instead of globalizing everything into one big task.
Leo: You'll love to talk and listen this week, but surprises can make you feel nervous. If a surprise does show up, keep talking. You'll find getting your thoughts out there helps you find your balance. Responsibilities and home bills can certainly be a drag if you let them be, but if you look at taking your responsibilities seriously so you can have a brighter future you'll find you can make instinctive choices that free up your spirit. Talk about the fun stuff, and the big stuff like vacations and trips to exotic locales to keep your energy moving in a positive and inspired direction. Hot, sunny spots filling your daydream time will do you well and warm you up inside.
Virgo: Spontaneous conversations, especially those that hit close to home, could give you insight that helps you feel more self-empowered. You have an emphasis on finding strength and inner balance when you can be self-reliant and stable. Your money matters will be in focus, so like many, don't let the holidays burn a hole in your pocket. Someone may even ask you to put your money where your mouth is and take on a bet. You may have a powerful urge to give in and take the bait, but you'd do better to use your brain and think it out first logically. Your competitive side may overpower your logic for a moment but you can get it back. Take a breather and regroup your sense of self-empowerment. Use your inner strength to overcome the temptations and knee-jerk reactions so you can have stronger balance.
