Here and Now...What's Happening?

[PurpleLama]

Dogs can be every bit as dramatic as cats, but in that innocent water sign kinda way, meant to manipulate. I never had a dog use puppy dog eyes on me before. I just laughed, and explained to him that I was jaded from having so many cats so his trick would have no effects upon me. He is currently sulking at my feet, it's his first time wearing a collar and the pain is unimaginable, it's the most terrible, inhumane thing a person could do to an unsuspecting puppy.

The garden is recovering from chickens. Back in November I built a chicken proof enclosure around the big bed out front out of bamboo, chicken wire, and zip ties. Starting christmas, I built a chicken yard about 1500 sq ft, adding tposts in as the "foundation" of the frame, and the chickens are not invading all the neighbors property, anymore, much to their chagrin.

So, lots of lettuce and peas and broccoli and mustard and so on and so forth are growing once again. The birds ate everything down to the ground last summer, but I got some good compost that ought to mean some good tomatoes and corn come summertime.

I have two sheep in my chicken pen, but no roosting/egg laying area built yet so I assume that's ok... I dream about murdering the 3 roosters on my property, but other than that they do a great job on bug patrol... and if I ever get desperate, having 30 dinners running around my yard (ok, maybe 15 realistically) isn't a bad thing..

The total number of candles on all your birthday cakes so far is 666. (http://you.regettingold.com/15/10/1979/)
That means your 36 years old.

The sum of the numbers 1 ... N is equal to N * (N + 1) / 2, and 36 * 37 / 2 == 666.

I was going to write a note to the children of Avalon about another article.....(Dear Children....Patterns..patterns....some truth...massive lies...it's a formula you notice, right? "..or so informants tell us.") on the continued disinfo one other site's editor puts out that the children, my siblings, still follow....You know what? I can't make 'em see the obvious, especially here...

I value some of the time I have so I'll use it putting a little here, back to the topic of candles and counting....counting the blessings of the challenges.

I wonder how many here have long since not put the full amount of candles on the cake and put something else there, like numbers.
Or nothing.
Or a symbol of something silly or something meaningful....
It seems way too heavy to always have to reflect on the years, because the years are always different and I like to do something different each time, even when I was younger.

Hello Villagers,

My sister called me yesterday to say she fell on Friday, and broke some bones in her shoulder area. It's being set today--docs waited for some swelling to subside.

Please, if you can, send her prayers or healing intentions. She is somewhat fragile physically, but a warrior in her heart. Her husband passed on two years ago, and she's had ongoing health problems for a few years. I hope she finds strength to carry on and recover from this.

This song always reminds me of Susan. (It's also the first music my baby granddaughter Elise listened to. I held an earbud up to her ear when she was about a week old. Her eyes said everything as she listened.)

Thank you, from my heart.

Healing, harmony and loving blessings...for lovely Susan.
May all the stars sparkle and twinkle,
for you and your loving family, dearest Marianne.

:star::star:💖💖💖:star::star:

Her health is our health, your empathy is ours. Your family is our family, her pain is ours. Sending energy to her healing, to your healing, to our healing. Blessings, Marianne, may the highest outcome possible manifest for your sister and family.

You are all so beautiful -- thank you, thank you!

Susan just called with an update. Because of the leukemia, doc does not want to set the bones. There are several small upper arm fractures that will heal fine, and the largest break at the shoulder is only a little offset, and her doctor thinks it will heal fine too. So now she has a good brace to hold it in place, some painkillers, and instructions not to drive or lift, or do much of anything.

She has always done so much for others, everyone's telling her it's time for her to receive some of that love and care back. My heart tells me the loving and healing intent from this group has helped her, and all of us.

The best thing, she is in good spirits again. Planning to put her house on the market finally, and move to a condo so life will be easier.

I would consider suggesting to her, to use castor oil packs. We have treated countless injuries and illnesses at my house using those, and to great effect. Indeed, some things, it has seemed the CO pack was all that did work. Now, we have the kids asking for them when they get sick. In the last year I've healed back and leg injuries, and stopped a case of food poisoning just for myself. The bones will set in record time, and it's so anti inflammatory that it will help a lot with the pain. Don't tell her, but it might help with the cancer, too, but shhh we can't say that too loudly....

Hi Marianne,

I'd just like to co-sign on PurpleLama's post here. I can personally attest to the power of the castor pack..

Lots of love to you! Sending you and Susan everything ive got. :hug:

Sort of like 'Wandering saint', by L. Subramaniam, but from the middle east.

IWtOWKj_k7o

For .... a wandering saint ~is~ a tired soldier. They must keep up the strong front, they are accepting, forgiving/forgetting... but part of them is also horrified. The saint part is connected to the isolation from the horror ---that they achieve. To achieve the saintly state they had to die, utterly, completely. Only then could they begin to hold the saintly state of being. And in that, they must never reconnect.

To live as example in potential, but not really ever again to be involved. To me, that is the easy way out. Is a saint selfish? In human logic? Probably. Depends on the level of knowledge, knowing and capacity, when looking at the question.

Stream of consciousness alert. Changes, heaviness transiting house 12, things ending, endings in general. People going, and choosing to let go of people. Visiting hospitals, been a while, try to stay away. I like nurses best, someone should raise their salaries. Flash said I should not waste too much time with therapists that don't deliver results. I thought I wouldn't be needing that advice anytime soon, but I do, or have. Let go of the therapist, in search for a new one. Old one tried too much to push responsibility for the non-evolution on my older one's special needs. Plays a role, yes, but you're a therapist. One year should be ample to make a believer. And sleep, trying to understand how stuff flying over a house (12) can play a role in sleep quality, but so it seems. Sleepless nights are here again. What was that book again? Wonderful book by that Japanese writer about the woman suffering from insomnia, first meeting with Japanese literature. Very refreshing. Vain hope of those transits soon to be over. I feel...as if not really here. Day and night, and this being night. A heavy feeling. A lot of weight on the shoulders and the head, like carrying the world and just wanting to sleep, and not finding sleep. And waking up tired, and starting over again, and having to meet people and having to make a decent impression and needing extra energy to do so,...We got a new tree. It's wonderful, I love it! My mom was weeding out the garden and she gave it to me. I've always wanted a tree. It's stands here now so beautifully, I feel so rich, trees exude a certain majesty, and humble. When I dug a hole to place the roots I felt very humble. Then it stood fixed, and I watered it, and it looked...like a visitor, a guest whom I very much wanted to make feel at home, welcome,...Something happened, I'm sure.
When I wake up, I look at the tree, I can't believe it's really there, like too good to be true. I get more birds visiting now.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/Gieteling.jpg)

These, they hesitatingly stand by the tree. They think, where did that come from, and move on, prefering the old stuff, that they already know from my garden. Taking shelter under the wooden chairs, from rain. I enjoy very much their curious looks at our new visitor. I hope soon they'll gather the courage to jump on some branches.

Rode my leg shattering motorcycle for the first time today since my accident.


It's funny how it feels like it's made out of paper mache and hope now, but I suppose a bit of anxiety is to be expected.

What kind of infection? if it's topical I use Cold pressed Coconut Oil; the stuff is amazing & I haven't seen a vet for wound infection in over 4 years since discovering this (I run a horse/dog/cat rescue... I have two pigs and two sheep too, but they don't count).

Just clean the wound then liberally apply the coconut oil, getting it into and around the infected area as much as possible then just leave it, re-apply once or twice a day depending on the wound's location, cover if needed (depending on the wounds location).

Rambo has a lump of pus in his neck. He is improving. Ana, the veterinary, she is an expert in this type of animal.
Thanks a lot, Target! :highfive:

the key to Abscesses (lump of puss) is to drain them & keep them draining while they heal (pick off the scab & keep it draining); it's very possibly due to a bite. Do those two fight at all?

Time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to sleep through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there- to the edge of the world. There's something you can't do unless you get there.

So can we just pop in here and ask questions?

That's what is happening with me right now, I'm trying to remember the name of a film. (I have a hankering to watch it again). It was a youngish Charlie Sheen, I think, working as a geoligist or scientist in Sth America. He discovered power stations there pumping out methane gas and uncovered an alien conpiracy to terraform the planet. Anyone?

Well guess what, I used my brains (for once) and searched his appearance list on IMDB. The film was called The Arrival.

Earlier last night, while unable to sleep, I came across a statement which I have been mulling over now.
The thread where I had read it was "Dead Man Walking" and the poster stated that the term "sovereign citizen" is an oxymoron.

But is it really? Isn't it the ideal, to strive for. The truly integrated individual is both...
alternating in his/her roles as sovereign, and also as citizen.

As a sovereign attending to personal goals and affairs,
and as a citizen submitting to the greater good of the society.

One without the other can never bring a better world.

Musing, here and now.

Sovereigns – kings and their money – stuff at the top; citizens at the bottom. How do you reconcile the two? There is the familiar scatological connection: The word sovereign, from the French ‘souverain’, is derived from the Latin superanus, hence the colloquial use of the ‘throne’. The idea is to view it from the opposite angle. If we value the one over the many, the king over the common people we may be making the same mistake when we each value our uniqueness. We are all unique, of course, but let’s not make such a big deal of it. Uniqueness has to become diluted when you are talking in terms of billions of such unique beings. Seen from this angle, anything you can put a name and place and date to (our history books are full of it) is no more than a microscopic detail that fades into near non-existence within the bigger picture. The purpose of growth is to become something much bigger than that, and the purpose of growing consciousness is to realize that we are already something so much bigger than that. Claiming personal sovereignty then means we can’t all be kings, we become primi inter pares exercising collective authority on an altogether less puny scale.

[ulli]

The other thing I wanted to address for a while is system change.

It is impossible to change the shape of a crystal, once it has taken form, unless it is smashed and reduced to a pile of powder, from which it can then rise and build itself anew.

So in a political system that has become totally corrupted, you can't expect to see change unless you bring in a force that will reduce that structure to powder. And I was thinking that Donald Trump would be qualified to do that rampage.

But his supporters will later down the road still have to face a tough lesson, which is to not look outside themselves for leadership.

Germans were once in a similar position, and while the promised greatness was of short duration the resulting decimation of their country meant in the end that all had become equals at the grass roots level and had to start over, with each person receiving 40 DM as their starting capital.

And then the globalists moved in and the whole game started over anew.
And now we are witnessing it at the highest level, since the US is in reality already a reflection of the global superstate.

Claiming personal sovereignty then means we can’t all be kings, we become primi inter pares exercising collective authority on an altogether less puny scale.

But, araucaria, we all CAN be kings; we just have to be aware of where our domain begins and ends.

For a teen it may just be the size of his bedside drawer, and for a young couple it is the size of their apartment, where the front door is where their private domain ends and the shared domain, of the public arena, that of the collective, begins.

I was once trying to explain this concept eight years ago to a neighbor, who was Aries, and new to Costa Rica, and who had a predatorial personality.
She would knock on our door and ask to use our phone (as she had none), at 5:30 am when my husband was doing his morning routine, trying to get to work on time. She would then sit there, in our living room, with her long list of phone numbers and make a dozen or so calls.
She was totally surprised when after her third attempt I explained to her that this was not on.
That she had to get herself organized. That our cabin was our domain, and not to be taken over as she wished.

My husband, a polite Costa Rican, who is culturally not equipped and socially unable to withstand the advances of Americans who see this entire country as their domain, in this case needed to use me as his body guard/ protector, to point out to this woman what our boundaries were.

And that's how this issue had come up, that question of individual rights and sovereignty, and collective responsibility.
The need for private domain, and also for a public arena of shared appliances, like public phone boxes.
Soon after that things changed and we are now seeing cell phones being owned even by migrant coffee pickers, while public phones have disappeared for good.
What does this tell us about the direction individual sovereignty has been taken?

Maybe the crystal is no longer the appropriate analogy. David Wilcock is one who writes about DNA as ‘a wave structure that can be re-arranged’. Maybe the political wave structure can be re-arranged as well. Anthony Trollope writes, “A man can’t govern well simply because he is genuinely anxious that men should be well governed.” The current problem is that the governors are not genuinely anxious in this way; some I believe are, and this side has tended to become less visible; but too many others are either not genuine enough or not anxious enough. The solution has to be a broad coalition of genuinely anxious “genuinely anxious”, which could conceivably be achieved by tweaking the political DNA rather than a drastic change of personnel, which has been tried and has endlessly failed. But somehow Donald Drumpf doesn’t fit in with this picture.

I don’t disagree Ulli. Simply, kingship and personal sovereignty are two different things. Your individual sovereignty is subject to a king’s overall sovereignty; your domain is a part of his kingdom. Your public property is his private property, and historically your private property was also his private property, he could help himself as he saw fit. It’s not very different today. Your American was practising kingship and you were explaining personal sovereignty.

But his supporters will later down the road still have to face a tough lesson, which is to not look outside themselves for leadership.

I think this is exactly it. Be careful what you vote for ... you just might get it.

What about decades of having to chose the lesser of two evils???

The system *has* to fall.

This simply cannot continue ...

Here in France we have an interesting wraparound situation. We have a guy who, in the presidential primaries in 2012, gathered just 5% of his own party vote, equivalent to less than 2% of the overall electorate, and who is the current prime minister of two years standing. His government is now introducing policies to which the most vehement opposition was expressed by none other than themselves when those same policies were presented by the previous administration. Things have changed, they say, for we are now in a state of emergency decreed by themselves. We are surely in a state of emergency of some sort when successive governments are all aligned against the people, who are disenfranchised by having practically no one they can vote for who is not a part of this little game. As Ulli’s mention of the precedent of 1930s Germany suggests, voting for the Trumps of this world really doesn’t bear thinking about. The rest of this post is about something that has been on my mind for some time.

It would appear that this government wishes to treat so-called conspiracy theorists like terrorists, and that Project Avalon features among those websites of concern, membership of which in this twisted thinking might constitute an act of terrorism. For such an eventuality ever to materialize would be, depending on your standpoint, the ultimate proof either that the world is even crazier than we thought, or that people like myself are indeed a danger to society in its current form — or both (makes sense). All of my posts in five years have sought as far as possible, usually implicitly, sometimes (as here) explicitly, to distance themselves from terrorism, which amounts to making a case for the defence. Let me do a little more of that here.

Some astrophysicists admit that barely 5% of the universe is potentially accessible to them. Following the scientific axiom that this part of the universe is basically similar to any other, this ballpark figure ought strictly to apply to everything occurring on this planet, including such things as the rest of science, historiography (where we come from), and politics (where we are at and where we are heading). No need for conspiracy: we are focussing on a narrow band of roughly 1/20th of what is actually going on. This 5% is the “box” in which we are mostly confined. While there are different categories of people thinking outside that box, Arab terrorists are furthest from belonging to one of those categories.

When politicians try to administer to our needs in terms of jobs, income, health, education, security, disposal/recycling of garbage etc. these are 5% notions that get the 5% treatment. Why? Because they are hidebound by the rule of money. A minister measures his influence by his budget: the more billions he gets to distribute the more powerful he is. But of course, his government only gets to handle something like 5% of the money supply. The rest is in the hands of private corporations. You get fascism when these corporations are in charge, as they surely have to be today on grounds of financial clout alone. Even the 5% treatment you get from the mainstream media tells us that some corporations are already bigger than some national economies. In a sense then, they are operating outside the box; such operation will of course be invisible to anyone stuck without knowing it in the box. The broader spectrum outside-the-box view of this situation that one gets from certain elements of the alternative media merely takes the tiny logical step of suggesting that some corporations are (getting) bigger than all the national economies. This tiny logical step involves supposing that these people do not pay all their taxes, on the basis of the established fact of thriving tax havens around the world. In case anyone was naive enough to think otherwise, there was a French minister (Jérôme Cahuzac) specifically appointed to deal with this issue. What happened to him? He was sacked and sent for trial for tax evasion of his own. While of course by definition we don’t know exactly how big the problem really is, at a conservative estimate we could say that it is much worse than we thought.

The French writer Jean Cocteau said, “Quand les bornes sont franchies, il n’y a plus de limites”, which roughly translates, Anything can happen when you step out of the box. That is why there is so much crazy stuff in the alternative media: some of it is garbage to be sure; much of it is just garbled. This is understandable: it is like a young person walking away from their bedroom bookshelf into a national library and trying to find something to make sense of. But quite clearly, the medium- and long-term solution is not in the bedroom. And yet that is what the politicians (who write the laws that they want the courts to apply to upstanding citizens) are trying to do to us. You have conservative governments that are thrown out because they apply policies favourable to the corporate elite, against the public interest. They alternate with “left-wing” governments that are thrown out because... they always end up applying those same policies favourable to the corporate elite instead of their own – thereby demonstrating how governments are indeed beholden to capitalist corporations. When was the last time anyone had effective government? With a few minor exceptions, not in living memory. There comes a point however when the electorate has run out of personnel to vote in and the whole system has become all too obviously unsuitable for purpose. This is something many people have known for quite some time; but where terrorism comes in is that it brings home to politicians something else that has been known for some time to the rest of us, namely that in all this ineffectual government people are getting killed. The terrorists themselves are not thinking outside the box: they are not thinking at all in fact; they have shrunk down from 5% to 0%, where there is no hope and the death wish reaches the nihilistic point where they want to take others with them.

As an illustration of this desperate mindset, let me quote this post:

I have been reading a huge novel by Anthony Trollope, Can You Forgive Her?, published in 1864. One of the characters is an utter scoundrel who tries to get into politics. Winning a seat in Parliament is presented as almost exclusively a matter of raising vast funds to pay for the services of a professional campaign manager, another scoundrel. He claims the money from a rich cousin whom he wants to marry for that purpose; she eventually turns down marriage but supplies the funds anyway, at least up to a point. When he runs out of cash, he is defeated in the election, and feels suicidal and murderous towards the entire universe in general and several individuals in particular, actually carrying out an attempted murder. But instead of committing suicide, what he does – on page 666 of my edition :) – is to... sail off to America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_You_Forgive_Her%3F

The point that I would pick out in the contrast with the gentleman has nothing to do with the corrupt method of entering Parliament, but simply the way certain things are done and not done. The rich cousin has in fact jilted a gentleman, who wins her back notably by behaving as if the thing never happened. But by the end of the tale, he himself enters Parliament, the only difference being that he does so with his own money, and it works out considerably cheaper owing to his having friends in high places. The ‘bottom line’ – the basic subordination of the exercise of power to mostly inherited unearned income – is the same: the haves are gentlemen, the have nots are villains. Nowadays nothing has changed, except that the ‘gentlemen’ are paying villains to do the work of government for them.
So what we find, a century and more after this story, is America – which is several times bigger than Western Europe, but in a very 5% rags-to-riches sort of way (closer to 0% in fact) – coming home to roost...

Hence to equate the activity of forums like Avalon with terrorism is the exact opposite of the truth. Terrorism is the degree zero of what we already have. What we are trying to do is grow beyond the 5%, to 6, 7, 8...% and eventually a whole lot better than that. We know for a fact there is much more to our reality than our comfortable little box, because we regularly operate outside of it ourselves. Our brain capacity, at present underused by 90% or more, is already there to deal with it if only we plug it in. What makes this potentially threatening for some is that it is coming from their blind side, out of their box; so perhaps what is needed is an ordinary explanation of what is actually going on that can make it understandable that the old formula “if you’ve done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear” applies not just to us upright citizens loyal to We the People but also to politicians fast becoming unelectable and who no longer have an America to flee to. We are all in this together, and are all disenfranchised until we devise a system that is going to work. Simply, we lie at different places along the same spectrum of the disenfranchised on which, moving further along the axis of desperation, we find those tempted to experiment with the far right (as if that had never been tried before), and beyond them all the way to terrorist sympathizers with seemingly nothing to gain and nothing to lose.

The other thing I wanted to address for a while is system change.

It is impossible to change the shape of a crystal, once it has taken form, unless it is smashed and reduced to a pile of powder, from which it can then rise and build itself anew.

So in a political system that has become totally corrupted, you can't expect to see change unless you bring in a force that will reduce that structure to powder. And I was thinking that Donald Trump would be qualified to do that rampage.

But his supporters will later down the road still have to face a tough lesson, which is to not look outside themselves for leadership.

Germans were once in a similar position, and while the promised greatness was of short duration the resulting decimation of their country meant in the end that all had become equals at the grass roots level and had to start over, with each person receiving 40 DM as their starting capital.

And then the globalists moved in and the whole game started over anew.
And now we are witnessing it at the highest level, since the US is in reality already a reflection of the global superstate.
Maybe the crystal is no longer the appropriate analogy. David Wilcock is one who writes about DNA as ‘a wave structure that can be re-arranged’. Maybe the political wave structure can be re-arranged as well. Anthony Trollope writes, “A man can’t govern well simply because he is genuinely anxious that men should be well governed.” The current problem is that the governors are not genuinely anxious in this way; some I believe are, and this side has tended to become less visible; but too many others are either not genuine enough or not anxious enough. The solution has to be a broad coalition of genuinely anxious “genuinely anxious”, which could conceivably be achieved by tweaking the political DNA rather than a drastic change of personnel, which has been tried and has endlessly failed. But somehow Donald Drumpf doesn’t fit in with this picture.

Ok. No more smashing crystals.
How's this then?

I have a stelium of eight planets in Pisces transiting my 8th house opposite my 2nd house which has a stellium of five planets in Virgo and I'm a Leo.




Hi Nora,

Say it has been years (and several computers) since I was running charts so I pulled up one of the freebie online software sites and ran the day of your post.

There was only 1 planet (Sun) in Pisces. Not sure an 8 planet stellium is even possible .... most I remember is 6.

Can you clarify?


*** adding ***


Ooops ... make that two ... Neptune is in Pisces as well.


Yes, sorry Calz and thank you.

The Sun and Neptune were conjunct that day. :o very Neptunian of me.

I looked at the wrong day (the day of the Solar Eclipse) and probably should have written aspects instead. So, there were only six aspects including two planets in Pisces not eight planets. South Node, Chiron, asteroid Ceres, Sun, Neptune and fixed star Fomalhaut. I include some of the asteroids and the fixed stars when looking at charts.


Hugs :hug:

Love

I was born in the old city and lived there for the greater part of my childhood. When I grew up, I moved further and further away from this starting point. As circumstances would have it, I was in the old city again, repeatedly, recently. Since childhood, I had been there again but only briefly. This time, I took the time. I walked the streets just like I used to walk them as a child. I went from Electra's (old friend) house to school. The park where we used to play was now covered with luxury apartments. I thought about how much space was being alotted to the owners of a relatively little number of apartments. A broad stretch of space that had been the familiar territory for bored neighbourhood children (and paedophiles, but that's a different note, not for today). And whilst I was walking, I paid attention to the otherwise medieval houses. Behaving much like the tourists surrounding me, though this was a very familiar setting. Heritage facades covering the picturesque shops. Many. Bookshops drew my attention first. I looked through the window and read the covers. Marx, Nietzsche, unknown pamphlets, manuscripts. And how these shops don't seem to care for the latest window dressing standards. Take it or leave it. Timeless. Moving on to the next windows, art galleries. Antiques. More art galleries, more bookshops, and a music shop playfully displaying partitures with matching instruments. Where mum bought me the Peter and the Wolf tape.

I even went back to see if the horses were still there, but they weren't (at least not on the days I was there). I used to sit on the pavement next to the horses out of boredom and converse with the coachmen. I was about seven. They gave me sugar to feed the horses. I remember the smell of horses throughout the city. I miss that.

And then it dawned upon me. I had been walking by these windows day in day out for years. Even as a child, gazing with much fascination, at whatever was displayed, and also to take my attention off the long road I had to do by foot back then, from home to school and vice versa.

And it seems that I forgot about that, while growing up, and becoming the individual that I am today. But when I recently studied especially the art galleries, I found that this is very much like me. And when I looked at the book store, I realised that this is very much how I like my study room to be.

As it happens I am now reading a book by Freud that studies unintentional forgetfulness.

Enjoy your weekend, cher Village.

Thanks so much for sharing that, Violet.
I grew up in the country but went to school in a city that was made up of ancient buildings, as well as bomb craters. Spent hours drifting around those old-town streets, after school, before hopping on the bus to head back home.

So your post prompted me to google images from that city, (Osnabrück) and came up with the theater, where I was taken once a year for a fairy-tale Christmas play,
https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2034/5803632305_a63457e0e6_z.jpg

and the old Rathaus (Town Hall) where they signed the Peace Agreement that ended the 30 Year War (1618-1648)
http://www.general-overnight.com/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/unternehmen/stationen/osnabrueck/6759-4-ger-DE/Osnabrueck_stationheader.jpg

Nowadays, especially during the summer, the streets are filled with small bars and cafés.

And your comment re unintentional forgetfulness caused tsunamis in my mind
to the point that I find myself unable to share the least of those insights.

Keeping with the past theme...

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten (https://cpco.on.ca/files/9214/0182/6527/NeedToKnow.pdf)
by Robert Fulghum

“These are the things I learned (in Kindergarten):

1. Share everything.
2. Play fair.
3. Don't hit people.
4. Put things back where you found them.
5. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS.
6. Don't take things that aren't yours.
7. Say you're SORRY when you HURT somebody.
8. Wash your hands before you eat.
9. Flush.

10. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

11. Live a balanced life - learn some and drink some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.

12. Take a nap every afternoon.

13. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.

14. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

15. Goldfish and hamster and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.

16. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.”

Sending, sending to Dr. Ulli and Ulli….

My ex was plagued with arrhythmia attacks. As if the pain isn’t enough, it went beyond such as fear of the unknown, or the next attack to family life.

I finished this book and am applying most of the concepts: “The pH Miracle for Weight Loss: Balance Your Body Chemistry, Achieve Your Ideal Weight (http://www.amazon.com/pH-Miracle-Weight-Loss-Chemistry-ebook/dp/B001JK9BQE/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1457307736&sr=1-1&keywords=the+ph+miracle+for+weight+loss),” by: Robert O. Young.

Another one I’m reading is “Life - The Epic Story of Our Mitochondria: How the original probiotic dictates your health, illness, ageing, and even life itself (http://www.amazon.com/Life-Mitochondria-original-probiotic-dictates-ebook/dp/B00NLQQ8PG/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1457308629&sr=1-1&keywords=life+the+epic+story+of+our+mitochondria),” by Lee Know, ND.

Interesting life changing information. Kudos to Paul for suggesting them on one of his threads.

I'm still listening to this video. It goes along with the The pH Miracle book. It’s not just for weight. It’s about keeping the body healthy beginning at the cellar and blood levels. Which in turn keeps all systems including vital organs healthy. One can strengthen and dare I say reverse damage done. Some notes and photos.

At another level, a healthy body and mind aids in riding unhealthy stress and boosts energy levels.

Dr. Robert O. Young, “The pH Miracle for Weight Loss”

Below are two products due in today. In the meantime to balance out to a healthy alkaline environment, I'm drinking 1 1/2 gal/5L of filtered water with Bragg's apple cider vinegar. I use 2T per 1/2 gal/2L:

Organic Greens (http://store.phoreveryoung.com/collections/supplements/products/organic-greens-per-case) & pHour Salts™ (http://store.phoreveryoung.com/collections/supplements/products/phour-salts-per-case) is a combination of four powerful carbonate salts (sodium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate) that help maintain the alkaline design of human, plant, and animal organisms. These salts are naturally occurring in all fluids of the body. Specifically, they can aid in the reduction of acidity in the lymphatic, circulatory, and gastro-intestinal systems.




"Fortunately, there’s an easy way to make sure your water is alkaline: To each liter of water (preferably ionized or distilled), add 16 drops of 2 percent sodium chlorite, or 2 to 3 teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate (plain old baking soda) or sodium silicate. Ask at your natural food store for sodium silicate or sodium chlorite"
If you don’t get enough water, then you’ll get fat. An acidic body pulls water into the tissues to try to neutralize the acids there.

1) mild dehydration slows metabolism by as much as 3 percent
2) bodies’ thirst signals that we interpret them as hunger pangs.
3) our bodies will actually retain water, and we’ll feel bloated and uncomfortable— and look even fatter than strictly necessary!

1:29:20 - yeast and bacteria doesn’t cause disease. They are literally born out of cells when the cells are breaking down to a acidic environment. Bacteria is a transformation of human matter or plant matter or animal matter.

1:30:00 - There are only two types of blood: healthy (alkaline) and unhealthy (acid, cancer, candida, etc). Change the blood, change the man. John had cancer and within 12 weeks it was gone. How? Not by treating it. Change the most important organ, the blood.

Dr. Kurt Grange

1:53:00 - Unlike the circular healthy alkaline blood cells, the acidic blood cells stick together. What’s more, a change happens in the oxygen they carry. 20% vs. 100%. Translation? 80% of the oxygen is not going through out the body. 1/4 of your blood supply goes to your brain. Therefore, the brain is one of the first things to suffer in this acidic environment.

As the environment becomes more acid, the white blood cells (immunity) shrink and become inactive. So under the microscope the lab tech sees lots of white blood cells and give a thumbs up report. Never taking into account that they are inactive and shrunk.


You can’t loose fat weight if you’re acidic. We need fat and cholesterol. If we eat a little more of the fat than our body uses, then it’s going to turn it into lipd and store it in the adipos tissue. Which is fine if we burn it off for energy when we exercise like it’s intended for. If we don’t burn it off, then it’s a perfect place (adipos tissue) to store toxins and acids that are coming around the body. Toxins like heavy metals and preservatives in foods. It’s going to hurt the body so we stick it in the fat. BUT it changes the fat from a nice white lipd to yellow fat form and eventually to cellulite. Cellulite is difficult to get rid of because the body won’t let you. That’s full of toxins. And if you were to go on a massive diet and you got down to the point where your getting rid of the fat that’s in the cellulite, you release these very poisonous toxins into the blood and it can easily kill you. So the body hangs onto it for dear life. BUT if you become alkaline, the body doesn’t want that extra fluff and it doesn’t need it. So it’s going to reverse this process. It goes from cellulite to yellow fat to white fat. We break that down. We burn it off. We use it for energy.

Summary: you can’t loose fat weight unless you are alkaline. You can loose water weight or break down your muscles, but you can’t loose fat weight.

NOTE: These photos may seem off topic. They serve to demonstrate how cleaning up at the cellular level renews the blood, the cells and in this case the heart muscle.

From Paul’s thread and his video (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?89036-A-major-key-to-a-long-and-healthy-life-fasting-or-a-ketogenic-diet&p=1049749&viewfull=1#post1049749), I added a rough transcript.

At first glance it may seem off topic, but it demonstrates the importance for a healthy inner and outer environments and provides solutions for health maintenance.


Jeffrey Smith interviews Dr. Alex Vasquez and Stephanie Seneff about the effects of glyphosate on human health.

Mitrochondrial Dysfuntion and GMOs
MFX6vgVugew
Great video. Thanks, Paul. Some additional notes and a sidetrack to another video by Dr. Stephanie Seneff from the link you provided:

- For insulin to be received, it needs proper functioning mitochondria. Insulin opens the doors to the cells so that the sugar can come in. Without that the doors are closed and the sugar causes problems. The blood sugar gets too high and we call that diabetes or insulin resistance which is a metabolic syndrome.

- The mitochondria makes sure the doors are unlocked. It insures that insulin is secreted and received appropriately.

- Those with type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and hypertension have mitochondrial disfunction.

- What the mitochondria does is ATP is the battery, it’s how you get the energy into the cells. It’s also related to sugar metabolism through insulin door opening and door closing. The mitochondria also controls the inflammatory balance within the body. And cells death.

- What is inflammation? Metabolic disruption and tissue injury. It can exist in three forms: metabolic inflammation (hypertension, diabetes), allergic inflammation, autoimmune inflammation. The chronic (persistent, long-lasting) low-grade, low level inflammation is defined as metabolic disturbance with cellular injury.

- Metabolic inflammation is seen on a continuum. So the three different types of inflammation are overlapping. Other examples from mitochondrial disfunction are Paul’s list: autism, Alzheimers, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancers, fibromyalgia, Parkinson's, diabetes, metabolic syndromes, hypertension, high triglycerides, inflammation, heart diseases, autoimmune diseases, allergies, Lupus, asthma, depression.

Next is the mechanics of the mitochondria and how it related to the continuum of disease.

- What does Roundup, i.e. it’s active ingredient glyphosate do to mitochondrial function?

- Studies showed that roundup/glyphosate fed cows had high levels in the urine and low levels of manganese (see below for ‘manganese benefits’) in the blood. Glyphosate chelates manganese and all other minerals.

- Chelation is good in terms of how it gets rid of heavy metals. Chelation is molecules hugging each other at the molecular level and these chelators don’t let go. But in the case of glyphosate, it’s a molecule the hugs all these trace minerals and it doesn’t let go. Hence, it’s worthless because it’s not getting into the blood. Roundup depletes manganese in the crops.

- The ADP & ATP is the energy we use. We take in food and it becomes energy. It takes a very specific metabolic pathway. If it’s broken down there’s a problem with the production of the energy from glucose and insulin at the same time.

- Glyphosate also effects the membrane surrounding the mitochondria and that also interferes with ATP production.

- There’s a lot of public debate about Roundup and glyphosate because they haven’t checked the data. When the data is so consistent the question is “Why is there a question about this?”. There’s no controversy in the research. It’s very clear, very consistent.

@ 30:00 (https://youtu.be/MFX6vgVugew?t=30m6s) - List of disease and disorders possibly related to mitochondrial dysfunction caused by Roundup and glyphosate:

(from Paul’s post) The list of ailments, most of our "modern" chronic diseases, caused by RoundUp are much the same as, and closely related to, the list of ailments caused by consuming more than a minimal amount of carbs and sugars, including autism, Alzheimers, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancers, fibromyalgia, Parkinson's, diabetes, metabolic syndromes, hypertension, high triglycerides, inflammation, heart diseases, autoimmune diseases, allergies, Lupus, asthma, depression,

- Important to understand also is it’s not only Roundup or glyphosate that’s poisoning our mitochondria. Research consistently points to what’s termed as ‘persistent organic pollutants’. The global population is polluted with multiple chemicals such as solvents, pesticides, herbicides, flame retardants, other industrial chemicals, rocket propellants, mercury, etc.

@ 33:00 (https://youtu.be/MFX6vgVugew?t=30m20s) - How glyphosate can be synergistic with these other toxins?

Action steps we can take to avoid mitochondrial dysfunction @ 41:39 (https://youtu.be/MFX6vgVugew?t=41m39s).

- Living clean in general, i.e. avoid through environment or food intake.

How to avoid exposure to Roundup

Don’t use the products around the home. Eat organic. Recent study showed that after one week of an organic diet, people’s pesticide levels dropped by 90%.
With proper nutrition promote/support those detoxification pathways.
To avoid nutritional deficiencies take a multivitamin.
Exercise.
Avoid the new sources of glyphosate exposure because of the new environmental protection agency’s decision(s) which means we are exposed to more than Roundup crops, soy, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets, and alpha. All of those are sprayed with Roundup and the sugar beet pulp is fed to animals. In addition to the genetically engineered crops mentioned there’s also exposure to spraying other crops. Where the strategy is to spray Roundup a few days before harvest. And these are crops that are not Roundup ready. So they die when they are exposed to Roundup. Why? It causes the plant to immediately go to seed as an acute reaction to the toxic exposure and that synchronizes production and increases yield. Hence, a much lower residual to clear up for next season and a head start on next year’s crop and weeds. There’s a direct correlation of wheat spraying and an increase to Celiac disease, which is a wheat glutton intolerance. Also with barley and sugar beets and possibly with other types of crops. They are not Roundup ready, the intention is to kills the plant. They’re not even measuring how much glyphosate is going into the seed.


@ 46:34 (https://youtu.be/MFX6vgVugew?t=46m34s) - General recommendations for improved mitochondrial function (from Paul’s post):

Plant based diet. It’s doesn’t have to be a 100% vegetarian diet. Make sure you get a lot of fruits and vegetables in it and adequate protein.
Low carbohydrate diet.
Too much sugar impairs the mitochondrial function, so low carbohydrate diet, i.e. paleo-Mediterranean diet.
Low grade to moderate exercise. Benefits are aerobic and detox through sweating.
Nutrient intake adequate, such as with vitamin and mineral supplements, CoQ10, NAC, chlorella, ...
Sunlight exposure.



* Additional reinforce/review notes.

Manganese benefits include:

healthy bone structure, bone metabolism, assist in creating essential enzymes for building bones
important for the normal functioning of the brain and proper activity of our nervous system throughout the body
formation of connective tissues, absorption of calcium, proper functioning of the thyroid gland and sex hormones, regulation of blood sugar level, and metabolism of fats and carbohydrates

What are mitochondria?

Mitochondria are tiny compartments found within cells. They perform lots of different and important functions to keep us healthy.
The most crucial role that mitochondria perform is to convert energy locked in food into energy that the cell can use. In that respect they act like miniature batteries providing power to the cell when required. In fact, the main reason we breathe oxygen is so that this process of energy conversion can take place in mitochondria!

What do mitochondria do?

They make energy. Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cells. They generate the energy that our cells need to do their jobs.

The New Food Order: How Glyphosate,
Herbicides & GMO’s Are Shaping Our Future


Two quick points from the end:

- They also spray glyphosate right before the harvest. Worst than GMOs is glyphosate. It’s doing even more harm. There is no laws that mandate that glyphosate be labeled.

- Dr. Stephanie Seneff says forget about GMOs and go straight to glyphosate because it’s a much more serious problem. Just the GMO labeling is not enough. It has to say organic. Glyphosate does more harm than Roundup. Glyphosate is the poison within it. The glyphosate is much clearer. Because it is a poison and you know exactly what it’s disrupting physiologically and you can predict what it’s going to cause and it matches everything that’s happening.

The eclipse will be exact at around 3AM local time, on March 9th, at 18'55 Pisces, forming a near square to his Saturn, (91') and Jupiter at 18' Virgo, squaring from the other end.
Saturn is natally in his 5 th house, which via Leo rules the heart.
Today the sun forms an exact square to his Saturn. The attack started yesterday, when Mercury was 180' opposite to his Virgo Pluto.
So far no change.
Thanks to all for your concern and well wishes.
All this is coinciding with Uranus forming a square to my sun this month. The last of the three transits, which began last June. I'll be relieved when it's over.

Freud says that unintentional forgetting isn't really unintentional. Your subconscious doesn't want you to remember. He found connections between the thing forgotten and painful, repressed memories. Sometimes as simple as a last name or a word missing in a poetry recitation, one discovery leads to another. It seems this is all becoming easier for me to do now with the 12th house activation. I'm ready to close the circle, looking back. If you are ready, and you allow it, the pain comes back briefly, and somehow it's liberating. I don't remember the details of the man who lured me to come behind the trees in the park that now no longer exists. He was old. It was raining and the streets were empty. He stood behind me and held me in a tight fixed grip. I remember there was a struggle. I escaped but I don't remember how. I never forgot that event, it was just not that important. I escaped, nothing happened, moving on. Or was it? I don't know. I don't really know, now, looking back, if it was really that meaningless with regards to the aftermath. The more I accept that it wasn't so meaningless, the more I remember about how I felt in that moment. And obviously I felt scared, I knew that if I wasn't going to get away from that man, I was a lost case. And I felt that my chances were so small, because I was just a kid, and he was a grown man. And because of the bad weather, there was no one out there to see or help me. I had to do this by myself. That's what I remember, now. But before now, it was 'just' something that luckily didn't end badly.

At the risk of over kill…one more post for a pdf version of alkaline and acid food chart (http://www.phmiracleliving.com/pdf/pHFoodChart1.pdf).

General Guidance (stated @ bottom of pdf chart):

1) Steer clear of fatty meats, dairy, cheese, sweets, chocolates, alcohol and tobacco. Packaged foods are often full of hidden offenders and microwaved meals are full of sugars and salts. Over cooking also removes all of the nutrition from a meal.

2) Stick to salads, fresh vegetables and healthy nuts and oils. Try to consume plenty of raw foods and at least 2-3 liters of clean, pure water daily.

Product Review and other Stuff:

The products mentioned above (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=1051621&viewfull=1#post1051621) arrived. The ‘Super Greens’ remind me of a tea drink. They are pricey. For now, my plan is to use them to balance out the body and continue with a plant base diet. As you know, it’s a good idea to supplement with vitamin and minerals if your system can handle them.

A couple of reasons are: 1) the depleted soil 2) fruits and vegetables are often picked before they have a chance to vine ripen. Translation on that last point is that 80% of the minerals are absorbed during vine ripening stage. Hence, huge deficiencies in our foods.

Super Greens ingredients: avocado, cucumber, tomato, lemon, lime, broccoli sprouts, spinach, celery parsley, cabbage, collard greens, wheat grass, barley grass, shave grass, oat grass, couch grass

pHour Salts: sodium bicarbonate, magnesium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, and calcium chloride

As a cost effective solution to the pHour Salts, I updated this to that same post:




"Fortunately, there’s an easy way to make sure your water is alkaline: To each liter of water (preferably ionized or distilled), add 16 drops of 2 percent sodium chlorite, or 2 to 3 teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate (plain old baking soda) or sodium silicate. Ask at your natural food store for sodium silicate or sodium chlorite.”

[RunningDeer]

Paula, what about the graphics,...for the younger audience and/or sensitive souls...They're quite...graphic. Maybe it should have a warning?
Sorry Violet and everyone. I deleted them and added a WARNING notice.

I found this to be helpful when I process: We can reroute the connectivity in the brain so that one no longer is experiencing an emotional memory, but rather a memory of an emotion.

A couple of books I’m rereading are by Dr. Joe Dispenza, “You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter (http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Placebo-Making-Matter/dp/1401944590/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457387172&sr=8-2&keywords=Dr.+Joe+Dispenza)” & “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One (http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Habit-Being-Yourself-Create/dp/1401938094/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457387172&sr=8-1&keywords=Dr.+Joe+Dispenza)”. His material overlaps with Dr. Bruce Lipton, PhD.

Dr. Joe Dispenza Quotes (https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/345332.Joe_Dispenza):

“Your familiar memories related to your known world “re-mind” you to reproduce the same experiences.” 

“If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself, and reinvent a new self.” 

“The seemingly impossible can become possible! You Are the Placebo.” 

“We should never wait for science to give us permission to do the uncommon; if we do, then we are turning science into another religion.”

“A memory without the emotional charge is called wisdom.” 

“Change as a Choice, Instead of a Reaction” 

“We can’t create a new future while we’re living in our past. It’s simply impossible.” 

“Can you accept the notion that once you change your internal state, you don’t need the external world to provide you with a reason to feel joy, gratitude, appreciation, or any other elevated emotion?” 

“And can you teach your body emotionally what it would feel like to believe in this way to be empowered to be moved by your own greatness to be invincible to have courage to be in love with life to feel unlimited to live as if your prayers are already answered?” 

“The latest research supports the notion that we have a natural ability to change the brain and body by thought alone, so that it looks biologically like some future event has already happened. Because you can make thought more real than anything else, you can change who you are from brain cell to gene, given the right understanding.” 

“What beliefs and perceptions about you and your life have you been unconsciously agreeing to that you’d have to change in order to create this new state of being?” 

“To be empowered—to be free, to be unlimited, to be creative, to be genius, to be divine—that is who you are…. Once you feel this way, memorize this feeling; remember this feeling. This is who you really are….” 

“Most change starts with the simple process of something outside of us altering something inside of us. If you begin the inward journey and start to change your inner world of thoughts and feelings, it should create an improved state of well-being. If you keep repeating the process in meditation, then in time, epigenetic changes should begin to alter your outer presentation—and you become your own placebo.”

Organic Greens (http://store.phoreveryoung.com/collections/supplements/products/organic-greens-per-case) & pHour Salts™ (http://store.phoreveryoung.com/collections/supplements/products/phour-salts-per-case) is a combination of four powerful carbonate salts (sodium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and calcium carbonate) that help maintain the alkaline design of human, plant, and animal organisms.
Notice that some of these are carbonates and some are bicarbonates.

The bicarbonates dissolve in water and so their associated mineral ion, the sodium or potassium, is available for use by your body.

The carbonates do not dissolve in water. Think of them as adding ground up rock powder to your poop. Useless. (Oops - See P.S. below.)

Both the calcium and magnesium are essential minerals, and their ratio is one of the several important balances on which the body relies.

Magnesium is deficient in the typical Western diet. There is no stable dry form of magnesium bicarbonate. If you tried to make any such, you'd find one of the CO2 molecules (that is, one of the two carbonates) outgassing as carbon dioxide, and the remaining dry, insoluble, magnesium carbonate settling to the bottom.

Most commonly, people use some other form of magnesium, such as magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, or magnesium gluconate, that the body can absorb. Geeks at heart, such as Bob and myself, make magnesium bicarbonate in a water solution, as a liquid, not a powder. See Bob's thread Magnesium BiCarbonate Water - a guide to make (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?86797-Magnesium-BiCarbonate-Water-a-guide-to-make&highlight=BiCarbonate) for details on that, if your inner geek is irrepressible.

I presume that similar alternatives (certainly including at least calcium citrate) exist for calcium. I get my calcium from various foods, such as cheese, sardines and kale, and I used to consume a very high dairy diet, so I don't do any significant supplementation of that.

Do take care to get something close to a balance between magnesium and calcium. Here's a few articles on the importance magnesium and calcium balance that just came up for me now in a quick search:

Calcium vs. magnesium: The key is balance (http://www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/sc/0403/sc0403-expertadv.html)
Time to ditch the 2:1 calcium-magnesium ratio (http://deliciousliving.com/blog/time-ditch-21-calcium-magnesium-ratio)
How to get your calcium and magnesium balance right (http://happy.guide/2014/11/17/calcium-magnesium/)
Benefits of Magnesium is Far Greater Than Previously Imagined (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/12/17/magnesium-benefits.aspx)
Mineral Balance: Calcium-Magnesium-Phosphorus (http://www.bodybio.com/content.aspx?page=Mineral-balance-Calmag-phosphorus)

I've not read these articles closely, so take them with a couple grains of mixed sodium-potassium salt (such as pHour Salts™ (http://store.phoreveryoung.com/collections/supplements/products/phour-salts-per-case), once you ignore the unavailable calcium and magnesium in that product. (Oops - See P.S. below.)

For me, all the above means:

Mixing some potassium bicarbonate, available from nuts.com and from various suppliers of wine making products, with my salt (Real Salt from Redmond, Utah, similar to Himalayan salt).
Taking various magnesium supplements, including the above named magnesium chelates orally, magnesium bicarbonate in my remineralized water, and transdermal magnesium chloride.

Finally, it looks like there are a number of excellent articles on magnesium at DrSircus.com/medicine/magnesium (http://drsircus.com/medicine/magnesium/).

===

P.S. -- Oops. I see after actually looking at the pHour Salts™ (http://store.phoreveryoung.com/collections/supplements/products/phour-salts-per-case) ingredients, as you list them in a later post and as pHour Salts lists them on their own page, that their magnesium and calcium salts are with chloride, not with carbonate. The chloride forms of magnesium and calcium are quite available to the body.

[Carmody]

I've tried the magnesium-water trick of Bob's mentioning, and it works rather well. I use it for stomach upset, ie, too much spicy food, or with problems from bad eating. (burgers, etc) Kills heartburn in seconds. Not it's intended use, but it does at the least, get brought into the body.

I have a lot of respect for Dr. Patrick Flanagan and Dr. Mark Sircus, both of whom were contemporaries of my mentor, Dr. Christopher Hills. Please tell me what you think about this source of antioxidants they are both recommending: http://drsircus.com/medicine/increasing-the-lifespan-of-cells-with-megahydrate/?utm_source=Dr+Sircus+Newsletter&utm_campaign=c82119220f-Article_349_3_7_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ea98c09673-c82119220f-10646942

http://www.integratedhealth.com/supplements/hydrogen-products/megahydrate-60-caps.html/

Also , I've been taking ionic magnesium drops for awhile, but recently started making my own magnesium oil with magnesium flakes (boiled in water) and applied topically with a mix of coconut oil and shea butter to keep it from itching. The latter really feels good, and costs lost less than readymade magnesium oil.

Dr. Sircus also recommends baking soda for lots of things, especially for over-acidity. Since I had most of my teeth pulled and have been wearing dentures, I've had problems dealing with over-acidity in my mouth, especially after eating something sweet (though all I use pretty much is raw honey or coconut crystals). It may be candida--I'm not sure. But I've found taking 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and keeping it in my mouth for a couple of minutes will take care of it.

Hubby's heartbeat is regular again.
The first thing, after he broke the good news to me, was an awareness of bird song.
Funny, how fear messes with one's senses and perceptions.
For more than 24 hours I had lost all awareness of the noises outside.
So now the early morning bird choir seemed louder and more melodious than ever.

But right here and now (30 minutes later) that has changed.
The usual 5:50AM fly-by of dozens of green parrots is happening...
As it happens every morning at this time. They follow the river...
no idea where they are headed.
Anyway, that is one noise I can do without!

Parrot screeching must be one of the nastiest bird noises in nature.
No wonder people like to train them to make other sounds.
Whatever!
I'm just so grateful that the arrhythmia scare is over. Well done, Villagers.
The cardiologist gave him a pile of meds, so he didn't have to fork out a small fortune,
and now he won't need to take them, but can pass them on to patients of his own who might need them more than he does.

Trust your intuition, and be wary of someone you’re involved with who’s attempting to trick you in some way.
Your intelligence and ingenuity are more useful right now than confrontation and righteousness.
It’s better for you to remain in the background and exert influence from that position than to take an active leadership role.
It’s best to blend into your surroundings, move with stealth, and keep your intentions to yourself.
It’s important at this time to break out of your social conditioning and express yourself more freely.
Listen and hear, look and see, sense and feel— trust your senses to guide you.

If FOX is your POWER ANIMAL:

You’re a night person and often are most productive and creative at night while others sleep.
You’re a keen observer, always watching others, noticing what’s being said as well as what’s not, and because of this you can usually anticipate what’s about to happen.
You’re an excellent parent or parental figure— very nurturing, protective, and conscientious.
You’re capable of blending into the environment so as to be nearly invisible; and by adjusting your body language, vocal characteristics, and what you wear, others who know you may not recognize you at first.
You sometimes surprise everyone by coming up with obscure yet creative solutions to problems.

Also watching this, it's creeping me out:

The Man In The High Castle (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ivej9)

I'm about 6 episodes in. It is pretty creepy. I want to see if they're going to go where I think they are going with it. I hope so.


I'm just so grateful that the arrhythmia scare is over. Well done, Villagers.

LOL It's interesting that Colorado and that part of the nation around the continental divide are the Free Zone. And that is where all of the folks we here in the Alt Community would find interesting have been concentrated. I like the dynamics of the story and the potentiality that the storyline has reminds me somewhat of the series, Fringe (http://fringe.wikia.com/wiki/Fringe). There is a rich mythology about the Nazis post-WWII, not to mention a rich semi-hidden history. Let's see how much of it they incorporate.

Now we know that the Nazi's did have the bomb, and the ability to make many of them.

That they could have used many of them.

That the US did not have the fusing technology they required to ignite...I think...Fat Man ..and I'm not sure possibly Little Boy.....that the Germans gave them the requisite fuses and the technology and even the scientist who developed them.

Additionally....just as fundamental and critical as the fuses....that the Germans also gave them the prepared yellowcake they needed to finish processing, in order to actually have bombs.

The premise is, as alternate universes go......quite plausible.

The real question is why give away that technology? The answer is that it was deemed unimportant, as the other wonder weapons made those nukes look like a joke. The US was slowed down, not incompetent, so they merely sped up the US efforts in nukes.

In the process, they got to keep the wonder weapons secrets, when the Reich command deserted the European mainland and headed for Argentina and other parts unknown.

[PurpleLama]

The Nazis may've used more than we think, just on the eastern front, which we have a lot less mention of, on this end of the planet. I heard JPF spout off in an interview recently something about how silly it is that America thinks it won the war, when it was the Soviets who really defeated Germany.

Violet,

The book is a little different according to my husband. No occupation of the U.S., just Germany going after Japan. And the character Joe, is a completely nasty Nazi in the book.

Some of the things in the series that were horrifying to me were the Nazi wives, the never ending family mind control, the constant brutality, the never knowing who was an enemy, that your life was always at risk, and your family as well...

Dave says the emotional flavor, the darkness, were true to the book.

That was my first one handed filming + riding attempt... I think I'd do it differently next time, haha I had no clue what I was filming & when I stabilized the footage it made that wierd black box around the edges... but I finished editing in less than a hour & was drinking at the time... so I'm pretty happy with it (I see videos in a whole new light after making a few... maybe I just suck, but DAMN these things can take for ever to make!)

Meeradas, tell us, wich camera you used it. WONDERFUL!

[Carmody]

He used coloration software on the images. First, he maximized the contrast with the correct lens aperture, for the blacks and the peaks, and took a flash free image. The best results in post happen when as much clean contrast is available from the original raw image.

The image was taken in full TIF or PNG format, most likely. This gives the most clean step free dynamic range headroom for any follow up manipulations.

Then he played with it in software, enhancing edges and contrast range and possibly gamma, in various ways.

Then it was an increase in color ranges, in various bands r,g, or b, or..separate C, M,Y, or K.

Or he did all of that with an automated bit of software, as it can also be done that way.

This can be done with adobe and other software programs.

It looks like the image was taken with possibly a 2.8/28 prime or thereabouts.

Just my guess. :p

The "Van Gogh" is a layered (hdr) photograph;
the a6000 comes with it - has a variety of 'in-built manipulation';
one could even shoot "comics" with it (so-called creative mode 'illustration' set to high).
Yes, i bought it, knowing i will not be best buddies with it - to smallish for my taste. A 7s would be it, but not my budget.
Bought another one for the pocket (RX100III - great little thing), in case i get tired of the alpha and carrying around her 3 extra lenses...

Still just fiddling around with 'em.

Well, without wishing to take away from meeradas’s creativity, I’d want to look at how a Van Gogh is much more than just a camera setting. (There are worse fates: these days a ‘Picasso’ is a – signed –people carrier.) Because if that’s how it works and where it ends up, then I’ve probably posted enough already to create an araucaria setting for an AI forum. My entire purpose can be seen as dodging that bullet.

I had no idea of of the existence of "HDR". I had to look it up.

Interestingly, I'm better at it in 'single image' capture than anyone else.

Too bad that nobody seems to care, they just keep muddling though in circular walks while getting by on crutches and half measures.

Anyway, a new capture technology is coming along soon, it will have much higher levels of image contrast capture.

A RED or Arri or some of the newer cameras with oversize/customized sensors are now at 13.5 stops in a single frame. With traditional hardware, nothing really new, just perfected. Which approaches the limit of the mechanics and the optics to capture contrast.

To me, the argument within HDR is circular, if it cannot be done in a single frame, in either capture or display. In that reality, the numbers come down to ..about.....maybe 400:1, 500:1 CR as a peak, with special gear in optimal conditions. Conditions that don't exist in the real world of everyday use. The limitation comes from the lenses and display technology. (http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/dynamic-range.htm)The lenses max out at a 'clean' ~400:1-500:1 (long story) and the sensors/body/electronics max out at the mentioned 13.5 f stops, in the most modern 'film' capture devices, in the new Sony, RED and ARRI, etc.

Possibly the new blackmagic (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ca/products/cinemacameras) cameras would be great for still capture (pixel count limits compared to still capture cameras, but far better dynamic range, in the vast number of cases), it having a solid 12 f-stops of range. Full size sensors count, it's tied to the lensing possibilities with such hardware, as a pairing. The lenses, all lenses... are definitely a limitation. That is the brick wall aspect that comes into play. Even with that limitation, the cinematic effect can come into being. That's where the skill and experience of the cameraman/DP (cinematographer) comes into play. HDR techniques are fine for playing with stills, but it can't be done with live flowing image capture. The lenses, even the best, used in a single optimal instance... limit single image capture to approx 9 f-stops, and can only achieve that under optimal conditions. That's the skill and learned lore of the DP coming into play. When you see those breathtaking images in a given film...that's a very carefully constructed and hard worked for effect. Same for the still image capture specialist.

It's a sequence of non-linear limitations, all stacked on top of one another, and the only thing that can be done, is to try and get some minimally distorted data to come through that convoluted sequence and series of limitations -- well enough that it is not distracting to the story being told by the image. We find it 'breathtaking', when it works as well as the given people intended it to work.

The Blackmagic is 4k capture with a global shutter, at $3kUS street price for the body. That's substantially better than the $100k of 4-5 years ago, for technology that was not as good, overall. Anyway, I'll stop, I'm starting to ramble. (Like that never happens...)

One more thing, the best HDR, in my estimation, most likely comes from a 4 or 5 frame 'stitch', as the color and contrast capture of the sensor is not linear, and the lens has limits, so the higher number of frames used in the conversion.... across more CR.... should, theoretically, give a more realistic portrayal in viewing, post the HDR process.

Basically put, optics are difficult, at best. (http://betterviewdesired.com/The-Ideal-Birding-Binocular.php)

[Carmody]

Since I stated thinking about it seriously, I managed to come up with a way of getting to HDR in single frames, for motion film capture. Took me a few minutes....(Once I understood it was a real problem and started pondering)

Solved.

Next!

Edit:

OH yes, for the photographers out there, who want some diffraction, diffusion, and possibly a polarization filter set, of extreme quality, and large size (the kind that cost serious coin), find scrap flat screen LCD TVs, and tear them down.

Inside of them is the best that money can buy, and the size of the LCD panel (eg, 50" diagonal, 16:9) is the size of the filter set. There are neutral diffusion (sometimes two), white diffusion, lenticular and sometimes (very rarely) polarization filters in there. All of maximum optical quality full color raging.

If you have to use them and abuse them (stand them up in dirt, throw them on the floor, taped to walls and windows, etc)..no big worry, plenty more discarded flat screen TV's out there, with more filter and light control filter material than you can ever use.

Bluebonnet Scene with a Girl - Robert Julian Onderdonk (1920)

[Dennis Leahy]

Spring has come early to Duluth, Minnesota.

We had 60°F a week ago Saturday, followed by a week in the high 40's and low 50's. (as high as 16°C, and between about 6°C and 10°C)

I have watched the snow slowly melting. The heavy, packed snow-ice that makes up what look like tiny glaciers is slow to melt. But today it happened: the last snowflake in my yard melted!

...tomorrow's forecast? 10" to 14" of wet snow.

Oh well. Here we go again.

Hey Dennis-Don't put your snow-shovel away yet! In Duluth you can get dumped on until mid-May!

TargeT, you had a fence in your leg... Amazing what they can do now to hold a shattered bone together to heal.

It's called Internal Fixation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fixation) this is(was?) my first broken bone, I'm so glad I didn't have to have a cast; that would have just made me even more miserable with how hot it is here in the summer.



One of our rescue mares just had a baby; my wife had to go elbow deep in her to re-adjust the foal (she was presenting head first, not feet first like they are suppose to & the mother was struggling) at about 5 am yesterday...


Maybe next week I'll get some decent sleep... haha, until then, CAFFEINE!

[ulli]

It's been tough for many people here, too.
We lost a water hose, (thicker than a garden hose, and worth about $100) the one we got with the pump that was supposed to suck water from the river, for irrigation.
The pump had not yet been installed, and was locked away, but the hose was stolen.
We lost all trust in our workers, as we still haven't figured out who stole it.
It had to have been an inside job, as the hose was simply to huge to get out through a hole in the fence.
Everyone says we need to get dogs.
Wondering what my cats will have to say about that.

Someone sneaked into our property, which is fenced all around, except for the river front, and stole it.

I sleep very well at night... hell I have a 2 thousand dollar generator sitting out side, not at ALL worried about it wondering off when I'm not there ;).


they are family guardians, they love to patrol fence lines & they are a fear based guardian, so they won't run out and attack, they will stand their ground and warn people away (unless they continue forward and present a threat, then they will put teeth on people).


I sleep very soundly... I have 4 of em ;)

But here in Costa Rica, the land of abandoned dogs, with shelters overflowing,

That's a nice sentiment, but you don't want a dog to help save dogs, you want a dog to help save your life and your property... Boerboels aren't very drooly, the males are QUITE a bit larger generally & if you have a "loose lipped" dog it will drool, mine are all tight lipped (their mouths completely close.. but sometimes you'll get a more "mastiff" example and they can be a bit drooly.

Along with my 4 beorbeols I have 5 rescue dogs & something like 19 rescued cats (all out doors cats, someone told me there were rats on this island... I wouldn't know (except for the trophies I see occasionally.. funny cats))


I think there is definitely a place for quality dog breeders (I'm biased, I bred boerboels in Alaska www.northlandboerboels.com ) I sold my puppies for $1800 a piece (on purpose, I wanted to price them out of the range of people who are less responsible, it's easy to equate affluence with responsibility as an initial filter) and on average interviewed owners a good 3 times face to face before agreeing to sell to them.... it CAN be done right.

Scratching my head here, wondering what his average monthly animal feed bill amounts to....

I run a horse rescue (we do cats, dogs, goats, pigs, sheep and I even had a mongoose for a while)... so around $3,000 - $5,000 a month depending on how good the grass is and if we run out of water or not (spent around $2,500 on water alone last year) I guess it's more of an animal rescue... haha

One of our pigs escaped the other day... had to learn how to wrangle a pig.. it was surprisingly easy (as long as you're patient).

I can't imagine the feed bill on four boerboels, but nobody would be stealing nothink from Ulli, if a couple of those were patrolling the fence lines.

Four nights ago, I quit taking Aleve and Ibuprofen, after watching this video (I have severe arthritis):

Dave worked on me off and on, all day long, so I'm not ready to pitch myself off the deck. I use Ulli's micro mat for hours, on the pain, joints, connective tissue settings, dipping into hypertension, organs, backache etc. for dessert.

my 9 dogs go through a 40lb bag of food every week or so; I'm HIGHLY selective on what I feed them (most dog food is total crap) so the bags are expensive, but because there is so much protein and fat they eat a lot less (no grains at all, no fillers) and they poop a LOT less (I have them all trained to run into the "bush" (what we call jungle i guess? forest? heavily planted area?) to defecate.. 'cuz I'm not picking that **** up.. haha) .

I had two of the best dogs in the world and they were beautiful, one looked and acted like a wolf, I called her wolfie, howling all the time.
Both lived a good long time 16 years and 18 years.
But If I get a dog, I can't feed them dog food that is crap even some of the organic ones, get recalled and remember all those cats/dogs dying from tainted dog food some years back.
I would have to cook for them some good organic meat etc, the walks, the shoveling of ****, the worry if they get run over by a car on and on
but
I love dogs so at some point when I am ready to do all the things again so they are happy but I am not sure if that time is now.

The nice thing about a lot of giant breed dogs is they are low energy.. don't need to be walked or exercised to stay sane.

I call my dogs "mobile rugs" they follow me from room to room and lay down when I stop for a second or two.. .haha (which is fun while your cooking... 150lb dogs scattered around the kitchen make it almost an Olympic event just to move from the oven to the fridge)

I currently have 3 people living in my house in a "work/trade" set up. They get a place to stay, utilities covered and in trade do certain things around the property... I "could" do it with out them but I'd probably burn out super fast. We started trying to get voluenteers from the projects, but after being stolen from a few times & some other drama we cut back on that a LOT... now we are a bit more selective on who we allow to come over.

two of them also help us on the tours (we often have someone walking with the horses for new riders etc..) and get paid for that (plus tips!).

Thanks so much for sharing TargeT. I had no idea about giant breeds needing less exercise.
But I think before we go out and get a couple of dogs we will have to build a dog kennel,
so we can get them used to us and the place and our cats gradually.

Boerboels are not going to be around as long as a Lab, averaging 10 - 12 years with 14-16 not-uncommon in the smaller more athletic type I prefer (which is about double the life span of some other giant breed dogs).

I originally wanted an Irish Wolf hound until I found they average 6-7 years... which I can't do, too short!

I have to last to 84 with financial freedom, and the independence to own cats, if Martha and Pippin live 20 years. I kind of expect them to, since McKnao lived 18 with diabetes. I worry sometimes but try not to think about it or obsess for caretakers, since who knows who will be alive that far down the road..

I grew up in San Francisco, so I was no stranger to the Irish culture. We moved to San Mateo, and would often walk to the Burlingame (which also has a large Irish population) downtown area. The first time I walked downtown on the morning of a St. Patrick's Day, I was amazed to see quite a few people had hurled into the gutter (before 10:00 AM).

I guess to some, the day is permission to celebrate the alcoholism, let it all hang out. Makes me wonder what other cultural traits are going strong as ever in our fellow citizens that are invisible, due to lack of institutional recognition.

So few traditions celebrated anymore. One that I loved, was the spring Blessing of the Fleet, as all the San Franciscan traditionally Italian fishing boats began their fishing season.
http://sf.funcheap.com/event-series/blessing-fishing-fleet-fishing-boat-parade-sf/

The Chinese New Year's Parade in downtown San Francisco is still going strong too. My mother, my two sisters and I, ended up on the front page of the Chronicle, watching the parade when I was four years old.

For those in the process of waking up it has to be a 'must watch' movie. Interesting also to see the bits I missed on first viewing now that my own awareness has obviously increased. Do watch again when you get an opportunity.

Since I have a potent astrological chart, this means I have potent alignments on potent days. As the world flows, I flow. Far more than most others, in most cases.

For example, it is 3/22, or 322, apparently an occult day for secret societies, today. Thus, apparently, the Brussels airport attack.

Today I have a potent planetary alignment.

Well, humph, that hardly seems fair. I have Neptune and Sun conjunct at 51 and 53 degrees, and I've never seen a UFO


First of all a question, Sierra.
What do you mean by 51 and 53 degrees?
Because a sign only ever has 30 degrees.
There are twelve sun signs in all, and each measures 30 degrees, which totals the 360 degrees of a circle.

So you could say "I have sun and Neptune conjunct (conjunct means near one another) at 11 and 13 degrees of Libra, or 21 and 23 degrees of Libra", anyway, a number which can never exceed 29:59, as at the next step it becomes 0:01 of the next sign.

The other thing about Neptune is this: UFOs are not the only thing that appears via a Neptunian perspective.
(Although you being an administrator on a UFO forum already hints that such a perspective exists)
And besides, seeing with your eyes is not the only way to perceive things.
What about your inner hearing? Especially when considering that your outer hearing was impaired since birth.

Neptune encompasses the whole realm of spirit, of that nebulous world beyond terra firma, or materialism.
Neptune is fluid and gaseous, and gives inspiration and telepathic ability.

Inspiration which comes from beings which connect with us telepathically and which might even exist in other dimensions.
ETs as well as EDs, or extra-dimensionals.

Meanwhile Uranus is more about intuition, the genius flash, like a light burst from our own growth, of our own DNA emitting fresh data, hence Uranus is more personal.
And Pluto is more about psychic ability, of our connection to the whole field of the collective unconscious.


I read once that Uranus is a higher octave of Mercury, Neptune the next higher octave of Venus, and Pluto that of Mars.

Mercury being the closest to the sun, i.e. the heart core, and therefore still very personal, then Venus is next, reaching out to other individuals, and Mars goes even further, by being the leader and protector and defender of the still larger group.
Ripple effect going outwards.

I just hope you and others who real along here can make sense of my ramblings.

[Frankly, I haven't had time to think much about it.
Just getting on with life, whichever way it presents itself, and then try and figure out the best response.

And even more frankly....not doing too well right now.
Battling with stuff that could well have been released by that eclipse.

Sending warm vibes out your way, Ulli. http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/kiss_zpsfihsylcv.GIF

I’m devouring material on health and some George Carlin as well as books from Karla Turner, Barbara Bartholic, Paul Levy, Ingo Swan and Eve Lorgen.

It’s a huge growth time for all that are brave enough to house clean. Recently, I took action with a family member that feeds on a life long pattern of sabotage, hate and lies. I pulled out the big shoes to accomplish that step. I may have lost a sibling or two because of it. The norms are feuds, denial and silent treatments in this dysfunctional shamrock clan.

Personal wellbeing trumps dodging bullets while waiting for other(s) to awaken to even the smallest loving gestures. A surprise bonus…the resident running the hamster wheel in ‘me noggin’ left me a thank you note and moved out.

As Joseph P. Farrell says…see you on the flip side, everyone. http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/becky_zpsjsxkwjub.GIF

Here and now, just came back from a late lunch out with the kids. I was very moved to arrive at school and find the playground filled with beautiful chalk messages from the children. My son was pointing "Over there, over there, that one's mine!" :heart: :hug:

I can't get my sister to change her mind about travelling. She's defiant which I admire, but still...

Very annoyed at random "news" reports left and right :ohwell:

We need calm to find back our pace and our peace. I can see that people are willing. Enough with polarisation. Don't disturb our frail balance, it is precious to me and I hope many others too.

It has been really rough, lately, energetically speaking. Last week, during our Spring Break, I was able to take a great trip down to the Big Bend National and State Parks here in Texas, such an amazing space. Usually, when Im out camping, it is a beautiful experience and this was as well, but that first night in the State Park, I was not able to sleep at all. Or, at least, that I could remember.

I recall at one point, very early, the stillness of the night was pregnant with potential, as I lay there in the tent, outside I heard the strangest, most musical warbling vocalization. It was a creature of some sort, I am certain, its voice had an electronic and trilling tone to it, yet it was decidedly organic in nature. It was very close, just feet away. It sounded as if it were whispersinging, just to me. As if in affirmation of something I knew then, but have forgotten since.

The next two days were just as wonderful as we explored the Borderlands, the ghost town of Terlingua, the Rio Grande river and the National park, but that night was extraordinarily potent. It felt like a reset, just before the equinox, just before the eclipse.

Potent days and nights, we are living. Our shared dreamlife is rife with symbology in preparation for the best and worst of times to come.

[Guest]

I've recently cut down two very large old Live Red Oaks that died in my yard. Unfortunately the beetle and fungus got to them -a serious problem for the oaks and pines; not enough rain or snow pack to protect or feed them for too many years. I have a lot of good firewood for the next year, though. Precarious cutting trees so big that can afford one enough fire wood for two winters.

The Pisces and moving into Aries stelliums have gracefully stretched me... I've seen the UFOs moving in and out of the clouds and dimensions and the dimensional crafts too. The black helicopters moving in and out between this and the next dimensional space. Strange little drone droids and cameras in the trees, some shifting in and out. Weird.

This has been my Pisces to Libra Eclipse experience in the dream time.

I think Calz was suffering from cognitive dissonance at the idea of a LIVE red oak dying on anyone. These dead live red oaks are now going to be a different sort of red too. :)

In the old days buying a daily newspaper at a kiosk was partly done out of habit.
Regular like morning coffee. Commuter train activity.
Being well-informed was part of a healthy self-image.

To actually go to a crowdfunding website and pay upfront in the hope of getting true news is quite different.
You have to overcome the fear of getting scammed, for starters.
So to me, if this works out, it means ignition point has been passed quite a while ago, and the car is running in top gear,
and there is no turning back.

:bearhug: LOL Calz,

You're pretty darn close. Felling is dangerous work. I had help with hydraulics too.

I'm quite upset that the big ol oak died. One day it was full green and tall majestic and the next day it just turned..... 20'-25' oak :( probably about 200 years old.

I made sure it was gone first though and not doing a weird hibernation, before I brought out the chain saw.

Here is a pic of the other tree, it was also taken over by the beetle and fungus. Around 300 years old.

The Barkley, the Race that Eats its YoungMy husband was watching a documentary about a race run annually in Tennessee. Apparently Europeans know about this race but most Americans don't. The race goes up 12,000 feet, and down 12,000 feet... Five times. It is the equivalent of running up and down Mt. Everest, twice. The course has to be completed in sixty hours. In the past thirty years, 11 people have won the race. This year, they had their first two-time winner, and two others completed the race as well.

Dave said the winners looked like they just walked out of a concentration camp. I can't imagine the what the next day's lactic acid burn feels like...

Just finished watching 'The Truman Show', (first watched over 10 years ago), and it is an amazingly good film for peeling back the layers of our world. For those in the process of waking up it has to be a 'must watch' movie. Interesting also to see the bits I missed on first viewing now that my own awareness has obviously increased. Do watch again when you get an opportunity.

That is so funny you wrote that, I Just watched it a couple of weeks ago and I really think it is one of my favorite movies of all time. So well made and it is so on the mark in many ways.
I love the kitchen scene where Truman asks his "wife" "who are you talking too?"
And yes, I see it on a whole new level then when I first saw it in my not knowing about the matrix at all.
Funny how that happens.

When considering the time lapse between 65 million years ago and the 1500s it would have been the other way around, with the bird migrating south, rather than north.

than in Greenland.

Don't see how that kid can be a bully...Any of those he picked on could take him.

In grade school, I think grade two maybe or three, there was a bully who kept picking on this one nerdy kid. I decided it was my place to intervene. Oddly, the bully would never pick on me but started bothering my friend instead. Finally, one day he got me alone in the coat room and sucker punched me in the stomach about five times real fast. I'd seen him do this to others and they all doubled over in pain. I was in pain but I was not going down. His eyes went large as saucers when instead of collapsing I came at him fists flying. I taught him a lesson that day he never forgot. Still, it took my friend finally calling him out and giving him a thrashing before he stopped bullying altogether.

Sometimes the group must take matters into their own hands. Otherwise the matter never gets solved.

I just said good bye to a fellow Avalonian and S.O. that were vacationing on St Croix; we had a great time, unfortunately it was a pretty busy time of hte year for our horse activities so we didn't get to hang out as much as I'd have liked but it was great to match a person to a user name and meet another person who thinks as differently as I do.

We went to dinner and showed them our little farm; had some great conversations & it sounds like we might be seeing them again in the future.

I'll message you before hand (I want to go back to the Oregon Vortex & visit Jacksonville, last time I was there they had converted all the pear orchards to olive and wine vineyards... the place looked like a slice of the Mediterranean)!
