Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 11th August 2011

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You're expending so much emotional energy at home, you don't have the strength for anything else. Beware of rubbing an authority figure the wrong way. If you can't handle the same level of responsibility, hand off your duties to someone else. That way, important jobs won't fall through the cracks. It's scary to give your power away to a colleague who is eager to clamber up the ladder of success, but don't worry. You'll have other opportunities to reclaim your power.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) An angry exchange shakes you to your core. You don't like loud scenes, but sometimes you have to vent your frustration. When you keep your feelings bottled inside, your health starts to suffer. Besides, you're sick and tired of being pushed around by someone who thinks they know what is best for you. You're the only one who can make the best choices for your life. Relinquishing your control will be a cause of tremendous regret. Don't do it.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You're spending money faster than you make it. In the past, you had no trouble conjuring up work assignments. Now jobs are scarce, and you have to tailor your behaviour accordingly. Eat in instead of going to restaurants. Avoid expensive stores that make you want to shop. Read a library book in favour of buying a movie ticket. Even small economies will make significant savings. Above all, don't feel pressured to keep up an artificial appearance of affluence.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) An oppressive lover or business colleague is making you crazy. Somewhere along the line, your partner got the impression you are a pushover. Nothing is further from the truth. Although you're very tender and nurturing, you also have a core of steel. Nobody can tell you what to do, especially regarding money. You'll put your resources where you see fit. If that means spending money on your home or family, so be it. Don't let your partner denigrate your priorities.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) A hidden enemy is doing their best to undermine your work. Although you think you are surrounded with friends, there is actually a viper in your midst. This rival is insanely jealous of your warmth, vitality, and glamour. They will do everything in their power to make you look incompetent. Take pains to cover your tracks. If you have a deadline, make sure your work is submitted both electronically and on paper. That way, you'll have a record of when you turned it in.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You're getting a lot of pressure to attend a party, but you don't want to. You'd rather spend time with an attentive lover, and who can blame you? Unfortunately, your absence will be held against you. It's better to put in a brief appearance than skip this event altogether. After all, you can't reach your objectives without the help of friends and colleagues. Take care not to discuss your private life with people who are apt to blab your news all over town.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) No matter how much you push, you won't be able to get your family to change their ways. You're tired of enduring toxic behaviour. It may be necessary to keep your distance from relatives who have drug, alcohol or emotional problems. Your attitude will seem callous to onlookers, but they haven't had to put up with all of this nonsense. When somebody asks why you're being so cold, just brush off the question. Getting drawn into an argument will be pointless.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Your ideas are threatening to someone who clings to tradition. No matter how loudly the two of you argue, neither one of you will budge. It's possible you think a friend is in the grips of some dangerous cult or fanaticism. If that's the case, there's really nothing you can do, unless you think criminal activity is occurring. Notify the authorities if you suspect innocent victims are being exploited. Beyond that, steer clear of any attempts to convert you.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Resist the urge to try to manipulate someone with money. You can't buy someone's affection; at least, not for long. If the object of your affection seems to be interested in someone else, find a creative outlet. Playing music, drawing, or taking photographs will take the sting out of rejection. Furthermore, your artistic pursuits will put you on the path to romance. You'll meet someone who appreciates your special brand of charm while looking for a good place to work.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Your powerful sex appeal is threatening to a person in your social circle. Lately, you've detected a seething resentment. It's coming from a friend who lacks your sensual allure. Although their jealousy is regrettable, you're not responsible for it. Just keep doing what you're doing, and don't apologise for attracting romantic attention wherever you go. Ultimately, your rival will show their true colours and be ejected from your midst.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You've been burning the candle at both ends. No wonder you feel tired and irritable. If you don't scale back your schedule, you'll burn out. Cancel some appointments, reduce your workload, and ask friends to run a few errands. That remarkable self sufficiency has its limits. By admitting your essential humanity, life will seem less of a chore and more of a satisfying journey. Healthy eating is a good plan, be careful about what you put into your body.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Friends don't approve of your choice of romantic partner. They think you're letting your lover walk all over you. While you bristle at such criticisms, there may be some truth to them. When you fall in love, you have a tendency to relinquish all of your power to your partner. This is a terrible mistake. After all, your amour was first drawn to you for your creativity, humour, and compassion. Subverting these qualities will cause all the juice to flow out of your relationship.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday 10th August 2011

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Don't let dedication to your job cause you to neglect yourself. You always need to be trying something new to feel engaged with the world. If you've become bogged down in a boring routine, change things. Take up a new sport, like hiking, biking, or rock climbing. Start experimenting with new recipes. You can shed excess pounds through portion control. The key is using fresh ingredients to make small, delicious meals.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Fear of failure stops you trying something new. If you keep listening to your inner critic, you will miss a golden opportunity. Travelling overseas, publishing a book, and learning something new are all options now. You're bound to make a lot of mistakes at first, but so what. People admire your courage and give you credit for taking a risk. Ignore a neighbour who predicts it will all end in disaster. This cynic just wants to spread their misery to everyone else.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You're going to have to pool your resources to make ends meet. Although you hate relinquishing your independence, it's the only way to stay out of debt. Finding a roommate or sharing a car will increase cash flow. You'll have to make a few concessions, but that's better than going into debt. If your credit card bills have spiralled, contact a financial expert. With their help, you can consolidate your loans, lower your interest rate, and pay off your obligations on time.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You're very shy and have a hard time entering into unfamiliar environments. Still, you have to put yourself out there if you're going to realise career success. Preparation is half the battle. Check out some books on the art of socialisation. Asking questions is a great way to break the ice. You should also think about the best way to introduce yourself to others. Rather than leading with your job description, be ready to discuss your interests and hobbies.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Spending long hours at work takes a toll on your health. You need lots of fresh air and sunshine to feel your best. Get into the habit of going out for a walk at sunrise or sunset. You'll notice you become much more creative once you start communing with nature. It doesn't matter if you live in the country or city. The important thing is to feast your eyes on plants, trees, and sky. Pretty soon, you'll take up an artistic endeavour like painting, writing, or photography.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Being a perfectionist will create a rift between you and your colleagues. Your peers simply aren't as motivated to climb the ladder of success. When you outshine them, they become resentful. Unfortunately, there's no other way to prove your worth to the powers that be. Stay focused on your goals and turn a deaf ear to a workmate's bitter comments. Pretty soon, you'll get a promotion that allows you to realise your potential. Someone with your gifts can't be satisfied with second best.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Household responsibilities are weighing you down. It's time to break free of your family and have some fun. A sexual attraction is starting to heat up. It's virtually impossible to resist an admirer's earthy allure. When you're with your amour, all of your inhibitions disappear. You're starting to wonder if you're losing your mind. Actually, you're just plugging in to your physical side. In the past, you always relied on your intellect to rule your decisions.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Be very careful about sharing your thoughts with others. People aren't ready to hear the truth, especially regarding their romantic foibles. A neighbour or relative who hasn't been able to find a partner can't figure out why. The reason is obvious to you, but keep your feelings to yourself. If you insist on sharing your thoughts, you'll hurt someone so much your relationship can never be salvaged. Eventually, your friend will learn the error of their ways on their own.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Your true value can't be measured. Stop looking to your bank account for validation. If you're not getting paid what you are worth, negotiate a raise, but be ready to walk away if your demands aren't met. Fortunately, there are several job opportunities available. Opportunities related to luxury goods, gourmet food, and landscaping are especially favoured. Ultimately, your mission in life is to create beauty and comfort for others to enjoy. If you're not doing this, you're not fulfilling your potential.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Don't let ambition get in the way of relationships; lately, your best friend or lover has felt neglected. If you continue to forgo their company for work, you'll be abandoned. Try looking at the situation from their point of view. How can anyone feel valued if they're always abandoned? Taking a break together will heal a lot of the resentment that's been building. It will also remind you there is more to life than work. A beautiful nature spot will loosen all those knots in your back.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) The thought of going to a big party fills you with despair. All you want to do is stay home in your pyjamas and watch telly. Unfortunately, whom you know is just important as what you know. If you don't make contacts in your industry, it will be extremely difficult to find new work assignments. So summon your energy, put on an attractive outfit, and head to a festive gathering. By pushing yourself just a little, you'll actually have a good time.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) It feels like you've been banished from the inner circle, which is really upsetting. After giving your situation some thought you realise how much energy you've been pouring into your social life. The experience has been fun, but draining. Now you have more time for yourself, you'll have a chance to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. Pretty soon, your artistic impulses will come flooding back, and you'll be engrossed in a creative project that gives you a new lease on life.
.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday 9th August 2011

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your attitude towards family is undergoing radical changes. In the past, you went above and beyond for relatives in need. Lately you've lost sympathy for a family member who keeps getting in trouble. Loaning money or providing an alibi will only compound their difficulties and could make life difficult for you. Stay out of this mess and turn your attention to more productive matters. Channel your anger into an extensive home improvement project.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Nervous energy threatens to consume you. When your muscles start tightening and breath gets short, you've got to tell yourself to calm down. Draw a bath, get a massage, or make something with your hands. Doing something inventive and creative will take your mind off your troubles. You're a very sensual person, and take great pleasure in working with tactile materials. Steer clear of a colleague who is always trying to stir up controversy.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You're tired of being overlooked. Unfortunately, attempts at distinguishing yourself from the crowd will be perceived as showing off. Keep a low profile and remain patient. You'll soon have an opportunity to demonstrate your talent, provided you keep your ego in check. Resist the urge to buy an expensive status symbol. The momentary charge it gives isn't worth the cost. Devote your energy to more fulfilling activities, like writing, reading, and studying.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Taking an unconventional approach will garner lots of publicity, but it will also lead to embarrassment. You're better off adopting subtle, time honoured methods. Granted, nobody will give you a prize for originality. Still, it's more important to maintain steady business than make a huge splash. You're frustrated by the constraints being placed on you. If you demonstrate an ability to play by the rules you'll eventually get the green light to try something new.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You're having a hard time working with someone whose views are very different to your own. Instead of trying to enact some grand conversion, leave well enough alone. Focus on the duties at hand and avoid sensitive topics like religion and politics like the plague. The two of you don't have to agree with each other, but you should be respectful. If a colleague continues to make digs at your own philosophies, tell them to stop. People will rally to your side if they carry on.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) The emotional support you need isn't forthcoming. Your partner thinks your plans are too risky, and is ready to say 'I told you so' at the first sign of failure. It's probably best to keep your plans a secret, at least for the time being. If you're contemplating truly risky behaviour, ask yourself why. Putting your safety or money on the line is a sign something is wrong. Find ways of taking creative risks that won't endanger your physical or financial health.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Arguments continue to disrupt an intimate relationship. It's time to get a little distance from each other, if only for the short term future. You're susceptible to other people's attention right now. A high powered executive will try flirting with you at a party or work gathering. Whilst it's flattering to be singled out this way, you don't want to do anything to jeopardise your partnership. Revel in the sensation of being admired, but don't act on your sexual impulses.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You're getting burned out from work. When this happens, you have a tendency to double your efforts, instead of taking a break. Force yourself to turn off your computer and mobile at the official end of the day. Go somewhere you won't be disturbed by requests for help. Listen to soothing sounds like birdsong, water flowing, or crickets chirping. If you live in a big metropolis, get a recording that replicates these sounds so you can unwind wherever you are.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) The magic has gone out of a romantic relationship, and you don't know why. Part of the reason is you haven't been attentive to your partner's needs. Learn the art of intimate listening. If your lover needs more foreplay or tender gestures, tailor your technique accordingly. Alternatively, your amour may want to spice things up. At first, you'll feel a little silly taking direction in the bedroom. When you get an enthusiastic response you won't feel so foolish.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) An erratic relative is creating stress in your personal life. You must defend the honour of your best friend or lover. If you don't, you'll be doing your loved one a terrible disservice. Although you place a great importance on family, there has to be a limit to their influence. Your pleas for privacy will fall on deaf ears at first. When this happens, you have to cut off communication for the short term future. Or you'll keep getting meddling phone calls and text messages.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A hypercritical neighbour or relative gets on your nerves. You're tired of hearing their helpful hints on weight loss, exercise, and nutrition. Unfortunately, the pest in question has no idea how annoyed you really are. You've got to draw a clear boundary. Beware of letting anger creep into your request for space. If you sound defensive, you'll just fuel their fire and put yourself in line for even more helpful hints. Cool rationality wins the day.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You're not getting paid what you are worth, which really irks you. It's frustrating to see less talented people pull in bigger salaries. To remedy the situation, you have to be your own advocate. Call a meeting with your boss, look for a higher paying position, or raise your rates. If you need an official certification, get one, even if it means going back to the classroom. You may have lots of impressive experience, but these days, employers want the added assurance of a diploma or license.

Weekly LoveCast® "Mars, radical Uranus and transformational Pluto will ignite conflicts,.."

Courtesy - http://blog.californiapsychics.com/

By Cortney Litwin

Your Love Horoscope August 8th to August 14th

Although the week starts out on the right track for romance, a midweek crossfire involving combative Mars, radical Uranus and transformational Pluto will ignite conflicts which can linger through the rest of the month. Those of you with placements in early Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn may need some quiet time to decompress if you start to feel unhinged.
 .
So will the weekend be any brighter? Well, the Full Moon in Aquarius energizes friendly gatherings while intensifying emotional situations, so it can go either way. Best days for socializing: Monday (maybe), Friday and Sunday.
.

Aries Love Horoscope

If you’re feeling more confrontational than usual, it’s undoubtedly the effects of your afflicted Mars ruler and Uranus in your sign. Not overreacting to emotional situations will be your challenge. During the Full Moon this weekend, getting involved in a cause and/or group project will help focus your antsy energy—and maybe spark a romantic encounter.
.

Taurus Love Horoscope

A playful rendezvous at your abode will fire up passion on Monday. Communications can get argumentative thereafter, so try to avoid prickly subjects with the people close to you. Be mindful while driving too. Socializing soars during the Full Moon this weekend, when an unconventional discussion, activity or project can bring romance.
.

Gemini Love Horoscope

A twosome tryst can bring delight on Monday. Love may be found through an online source or via an introduction. Just watch out for a clash over money or values later in the week. The Full Moon this weekend can bring a potential lover from afar, or you may meet someone enticing during a spiritual activity.
.

Cancer Love Horoscope

Afflictions to Mars in Cancer can make you exceedingly prickly if someone gets on your nerves, which in turn will drain your emotional energy. Try not to overbook your activities so you can have some time to recharge. Sharing your engaging humor and observations draws admirers during this weekend’s quirky Full Moon.
.

Leo Love Horoscope

A troubling issue may erupt suddenly if someone triggers an emotional button, which is a good thing if you’re ready to resolve it, but can disrupt your love life. Introspection and analysis will help you work through it. If you’re on speaking terms with your sweetie by the weekend, a shared activity will bring delight under the Full Moon.
.

Virgo Love Horoscope

Entertaining a friend or lover at your home will bring joy on Monday, but socializing through much of the week can be chaotic due to a problem with a friend or a control issue with your sweetie. Fortunately, this weekend’s Full Moon will inspire a helpful gesture that gets love back on track (or brings in someone new!).
.

Libra Love Horoscope

The influence of others can set you off course this week (and beyond), so it’s important to know what you want and how to get there, both in your personal life and career. In other words, be true to yourself. Socializing skyrockets during this weekend’s Full Moon, when love can be found through a friend or group activity.
.

Scorpio Love Horoscope

The contretemps involving your Pluto ruler can prompt a transformation of your personal or professional life sometime this month. It may also force you to resolve a troubling issue (control? jealousy? self-sabotage?) that hinders your growth—love life included. This weekend’s Full Moon energizes your entertaining skills for hosting a party or tryst for two!
.

Sagittarius Love Horoscope

Your charisma is irresistible on Monday, a good time for a rendezvous with your sweetie or to discover someone new. Intimacy can get complicated later in the week, when an issue about vulnerability, freedom or sexual compatibility may be a problem. Flirting and other communications bring/enhance romance during the Full Moon this weekend!
.

Capricorn Love Horoscope

Reviewing your past relationships can bring a valuable insight on Monday. Afflictions to Pluto in your sign can prompt a desire for a personal makeover sometime this month. A change of attitude about yourself will free you of self-imposed limitations that hinder love. This weekend’s Full Moon inspires a friendly or unusual approach that revs up romance.

Aquarius Love Horoscope

A date with your sweetie can bring joy on Monday. Your beleaguered Uranus ruler may prompt an extreme reaction from you later in the week (or beyond). Freedom, willfulness or rebelliousness may be the issue. This weekend’s Full Moon in your sign makes you the center of attention, but may cause a me-versus-we conflict unless you can compromise.
.

Pisces Love Horoscope

Afflicted Mars in your romance sector may cause a blow-up because of a clash of wills. Or you may need to stand up for yourself after attracting someone pushy. Either way, compromise and cooperation will be in short supply. A revelation about the past, inspired by this weekend’s Full Moon, can improve your love life (and other areas).

Звонил сегодня моя дочь Она хочет, чтобы я пошел в отпуск в следующем году в Америку.Некая дама должна быть здесь, чтобы получить ее документы в порядке

No we would not be taking this slow boat to China
In actual fact it took 4 weeks to get from Southampton England to Kure Japan

Nearing Kure we hit a typhoon and half of the Empire Orwell was out of the water at any one time
Luckily I had found me sea feet, having been very sea sick in the Bay of Biscay, and could handle the troopship´s sailing in the typhoon

HM Troopship Empire Orwell was built in 1936 and launched as the "Pretoria". During World War 2 she operated as a hospital ship and was used for the evacuation of the Eastern territories in early 1945. Taken as a war prize in Copenhagen in May 1945 she served as the Empire Doon under Orient Line management. In 1950 she had a major refit when she was renamed the Empire Orwell and was used as a troopship to and from Korea and Malaya. She was later sold to the Blue Funnel line. Renamed yet again she became the Gunung Diati and sailed between Indonesia and Djedda as a pilgrim carrier. Sold to the Indonesian Navy she became the Tanjung Pandan troopship before finally being scrapped in 1987 in Taiwan. 

God bless all that sailed on the good ship Empire Orwell

Amy Winehouse "Addicted" music video live at Glastonbury 2008 and Lyrics

Uploaded by on Jun 29, 2008

Amy Winehouse - Addicted - Festival de Glastonbury 2008


Tell your boyfriend next time he around
To buy his own weed and don't wear my shit down
I wouldn't care if bre would give me some more
I'd rather him leave you then leave him my draw

When you smoke all my weed man

You gotta call the green man
So I can get mine and you get yours

Once is enough to make me attack

So bring me a bag and your man can come back
I'll check him at the door make sure he got green
I'm tighter than airport security teams

When you smoke all my weed man

You gotta call the green man
So I can get mine and you get yours

I'm my own man so when will you learn

That you got a man but I got to burn
Don't make no difference if I end up alone
I'd rather have myself a smoke my homegrown
It's got me addicted, does more than any dick did

Yeh I can get mine and you get yours

Yeh I can get mine and you get yours
