I've just finished listening to Sandra Ingerman's audiobook Miracles For The Earth which I downloaded from the Sounds True website. What a beautiful approach this supremely talented woman has. I enjoyed every second of this truly miraculous recording.
So into SUPERNATURAL
Just as well young Graham Hancock is married, as I'm totally crushing on him and his A-MA-ZING book, SUPERNATURAL, Meetings With the Ancient Teachers of Mankind, in which we learn about how cave art was made, about the people who made it and the way they went about getting to a state of mind that would generate these images. It's true to say the GM is not afraid to put out challenging ideas, in a very forthright style, which adds to the whole IMHO.
Spoiler alert! If you are interested in the work of Michael Harman or Sandra Ingerman, this would be a textbook / required reading for the history of their craft.
Just found this epic video of GH on YouTube. Dang it, this man is awesome:
Are you feeling the force yet? Join me on Facebook to share your thoughts.
Healing the Emotional Body
So as we learned from Candace Pert, the emotions are stored in the physical body. When we experience an emotion, our mind registers what is going on outside and all around and we also get a physical sensation in our body. Together, these make a memory. The return of this sensation, it could be a burning sensation in your stomach, or an aching in your back or arms, reminds you of a certain time or place. However, we don't associate memory with our physical body. If we have an unpleasant memory, we push it away, and that's natural. But, like a small child who wants a croissant in the supermarket on a Saturday at 11.45, this memory is not going to go away unless you accept it, you acknowledge it's need to be heard. Pam Grout calls this "the most tenacious singing telegram in the universe", because basically this emotion is not going to stop ringing the doorbell of your consciousness until you let it in and hear the message.
Yes, emotions and memories are all mixed up in a big unholy mess. Just like a broken leg or a cut finger, if you don't attend to painful memories they are really not just going to heal themselves, you know. But how do you go about really reaching in there and doing the work? Teal's video reveals all.
What for me was so exceptional about this was the way that Pam Grout, Candace Pert, Edain McCoy and my teacher Zen Master Dae Gak all live together in here. Edain McCoy wrote Advanced Witchcraft, in which she explains the idea of a threshold. These are life tests that we are doomed to repeat ad infinitum until we can really understand how to navigate to a higher, better version of ourselves. Hint: it's not about ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away.
From a Zen perspective, if you can ever talk about Zen which I think is kind of impossible, but here I am going for it anyway: nothing is either desirable or undesirable, nothing is painful or pleasurable, to set up opposites is to chase your tail, to differentiate is to walk into a trap. To investigate, really analyse, live and breathe experiences, emotions, without denying or differentiating, that's the soul of enquiry.
To be a whole, integrated person is to accept yourself fully, and that means your history and everything and everybody that made you who you are today. Do not shy away from this essential work. And if you happen to meet Teal along the road, please say thank you from me.

Tokyo Tarot Rides Again
Since changing the group name from Kanto Tarot to Tokyo Tarot the group numbers have trebled. Fantastic, eh? Our next meeting is on the last Sunday of September at Flowers Common in the Hikarie building in Shibuya. The map is HERE. We're meeting at 12.00, so if you are around please join us for an afternoon of Tarot-themed conversation.
World Suicide Prevention Day
World Suicide Prevention Day is September the 10th this year. As part of tell lifeline's round of walks to raise awareness for depression and suicide, I'm organising a walk in Yokosuka, starting from 4.45. Details of my walk and the others in the Kansai area, see the tell website or contact me via my facebook page.
"I'll guide you through," said the Tarot.
So glad to have the Tarot in my life. When I need guidance, there it is. When I said thank you for the spot-on support that I needed this evening, I got the 6 of Swords, the card of refuge. In Marie White's Mary-El Tarot, this card shows us the Archangel Raphael guiding two children and a dog. "I'll guide you to where you need to go," said the Tarot, in response to my thanks. Wherever would I be without it.
A video about the historical Jesus and how the New Testament came to have it's present form, narrated by Anglican priest Pete Owen Jones. The Gnostic site is also well worth a peruse.
Candace Pert
I'm half way through Molecules of Emotion as I type and found out today that Candace Pert died last year, of a heart attack, apparently. Wow, am I sad. For the first time ever I am tempted to channel the dead through my cards. I am so loving her book, which makes the connection in scientific terms, should one be needed by the CAM community, between the communication systems of the body (neurons, endocrine and immune system) and how the emotions and body systems are linked and influence each other reciprocally. I'm hooked, and can't wait to read her other two books. Come back soon, Candace. We need you.
Home Again Home Again, Jiggeddy-Jig
Here is a picture of me at Nachi waterfall in Wakayama, Japan, just after having escaped from a typhoon. We had been camping in the rain and had not heard the flood warnings until it was nearly too late! Anyway, Wakayama is the bomb if you love waterfalls, hot springs, swimming in the river, beautiful forest walks and of course visiting epic shrines, like this one.
I hope you all had a fantastic summer, as I did, and I look forward to connecting with you all soon.
Marie Forleo re-programmes the subconscious mind
Dr. Cathy Collautt and Marie talk about becoming subconscious whisperers. Why sedate, corral and try to beat your unconscious? You know it's probably never going to happen. In this video, we learn how to understand that fears are not to be locked away or shunned, but listened to and taken into account. Watch and learn, people! I know I did.

Cool, huh? Also you get lots of lovely free personality interpretation. Future predictions etc. are not free.
Tokyo Hypnotherapy
I'm really into Karen Mattison's informal yet informed style, she is a woman who has spent the last seven years perfecting her craft. If there is anything that Karen doesn't know about smoking cessation, pain management or belief changing, then it's probably not worth knowing. Check out her website HERE. Five star.
The Biology of Belief
I have just finished reading Bruce Lipton's The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles. What's amazing about this book is the clear and easy way Dr. Lipton presents difficult information on cell biology and histology, so even I could understand. Many thanks for that. Dr. Lipton points out that what we want to believe and what we state as positive affirmations don't take effect because our beliefs are locked away in the unconscious mind, and it takes years to re-wire those pathways. Of course, that's good because these mechanisms are what allow us to survive, but when it comes to reprogramming our minds in line with new beliefs it's a long process.
Where the book fell down for me is that at the beginning we are told that we can change our beliefs to alter our reality to something that is in line with what we want, and that all will be revealed at the end of the book, but all that was revealed was Kinesiologist Rob Williams' website PSYCH K. Most likely this is a very helpful service, but the power of my consciousness, matter and miracles have not been unleashed.
Teal Swan says that it's easier to change your core beliefs if you don't try to jump from A to Z in one go, but if you use stepping stones, and change your beliefs incrementally over time. I can dig that. Watch her explain this HERE. Pam Grout in E Squared explains also how we can change our beliefs, one of her many recommendations is writing postcards to yourself with affirmations like: "The world needs your talent" and "You are worthy of success". If all of this seems a little artificial, it's because your unconscious is making a judgement about what is real and what is not real. George Mobus' research at the University of Washington Tacoma explains more about this in his research paper on Sapience Components.
Meanwhile, back in the microscopic world of cell biology, we learn through Dr. Lipton's book that cells in a Petri dish are attracted to nutrients and grow towards them, they somehow sense their presence, and conversely they sense the presence of toxins and tend to shrink away from them in self-defence. The conclusions are that we naturally, at a cellular level, gravitate towards our joy, and remove ourselves from harm's way, and also in the presence of a toxic environment we cannot grow.
I really like Teal Swan
My sister sent me the link to Teal Swan's YouTube video about suffering; here it is:
Warning, it's a little heavy, so be prepared! But this woman is on the money 100% about how suffering works and how to deal with it. She is also really pretty! That was kind of amazing for me, because usually spiritual types on YouTube are more gnarly… Watch the vid and let me know what you think about her ideas on my Facebook page.
Buddha means: The One Who Is Awake
All esoteric systems are based not on zoning out and going "out there with the fairies" (no pun intended), but in staying very aware and focused on your work, from Neo-Pagan rituals to shamanic travels. Being an Ace Tarot Pro means staying awake to the client, being the channel between the voice of the Tarot and the ears of the client. Tune out for just a moment and the confidence of the subject disappears.
In the picture above, Shepard Fairey asks us to stay awake. This means switch off your TV and keep it off; be aware, very aware, of the power advertising has on you, and take care of what you put in your bodies, how you sedate yourself, and what you eat. Peace be with you. Just don't fall asleep.
What does it mean to be bored? What does it mean to be hungry? What does it mean to sacrifice yourself for another being's sake? Switching off your television is the opposite of being bored. Not doping yourself with games or excess food is not being bored or hungry. Being hungry is fine, if you know that you are going to eat when you need to. Not eating meat to avoid the torture to death of animals for your sake, to avoid buying into that system, that is not really sacrifice. That's just sanity, being awake to the consequences of your action.
It's possible to say that anyone who does any esoteric work at all, from the smallest ritual practice to ceremonial magic is plugging themselves into the network of energy of this planet. Eating meat that you have not killed yourself, where there is no bond of gratitude and sacrifice, is contrary to that.
Coming from a place where I was doped out on so many things for years on end, I am testifying to the superiority of this feeling, this energy. It doesn't take effort to do this, to be aware of what you are doing. It's like the opposite of taking energy, it's more like freewheeling, not having to even think about it.
Throw away your television, your console(s), your meat-eating habits, your dope. You are being controlled through them, your life is no longer your own. Choose awareness, do not allow yourself to be sedated, stay awake. We are all Buddhas.
Artwork Tarots
I know I have posted about Adam MacLean's site already but I have just received the e-mail update today and as I love it so much here is the link again:
Adam sells independently printed artwork a Tarot decks in limited quantities, you will certainly NOT be finding these on Amazon.. This is a must-view site for anybody interested in Tarot.
This great image of Sekhmet comes from Kris Anka's epic website.
My mother gave me Les Élixirs Floraux de Viviane which, sincerely, is a life-changing read. The author, Viviane Le Moullec, has a super-duper website: http://pistar.chez.com where she has a whole section on Tarot. Warning: this site is entirely in French… However, she gives wonderful attributions for the Tarot cards, one of which is Sekhmet (as in the image above) as Temperence. So what does Sekhmet, Goddess of War, excessive beer consumption and unslakable bloodlust, have to do with Temperence, I wondered?
A few nights after I received the book, I had a dream about a huge – 9 foot tall – Angel. When I asked him his name, he said it was Kamael. This is the Angel of War, the chief of the Powers (Archangels), the one closest to God, his name means: "The One Who Is Seen By God". Here's a picture of him now:
In my dream he had short blonde hair, however. The image of an angel with a flaming sword is something I saw in a half-waking dream when I was a child, and this has stayed with me ever since. If you want to know the whole story of the dream I had as a child, I am happy to tell you but I need Patron, lots of Patron.
Camael allows us to go "by any means necessary" to our destination, providing it is righteous and evolutionary in a spiritual sense. Viviane Le Moullec says: La déesse Sekhmet n'est pas seulement la déesse de la guerre, elle est aussi la déesse de la médecine et de la chirurgie. "The Goddess Sekhmet is not only the goddess of war, she is also the goddess of medicine and surgery". Making better, by any means necessary.
My friend Jyoji says this reminds him of Lord Shiva, destroyer and creator, and I know that this image of a wrathfully but compassionate deity reminds me of my beloved Fu Doo Myou Oo Sama:
Jamie Sams' Earth Medicine
"Listening Mother, the Clan Mother of the Fifth Moon Cycle, teaches us that all human beings have the potential to hear the still voice within their hearts. We know this voice by the serenity it makes us feel and the joy that fills us when we follow the message it gives. The heart's voice leads us to the place of inner peace where we are in harmony with who and what we are. This place of inner knowing and at-one-ment cannot be taken away. When we seek the heart's voice, we reside in rhe safety of being serenely balanced and feeling marvellously alive. The Ancestors called if Tiyoweth, the Stillness. Those who seek it will always find it within."
Hsin-Hsin Ming
Weighing in at only 20 grammes and numbering 4, count them 4 pages of A7 paper, the Seng-Ts'An is a diamond-hard commentary on the Way, with a capital Way. Here are the first three verses for your delectation and delight:
"The Great Way is not difficult
for those not attached to preferences.
When neither love nor hate arises,
all is clear and undisguised.
Separate by the smallest amount, however,
and you are as far from it as heaven is from earth.
If you wish to know the truth,
Then hold to no opinions for or against anything.
To set up what you like against what you dislike
is the disease of the mind.
When the fundamental nature of things is not recognized
the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail.
The Way is perfect, as vast space is perfect,
where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess."
Intuition with learning
"Intuitive decisions are good, but you make them after equipping yourself with all the information possible in the area in which the decisions are to be made." Richard Wagner
Thank you to Patricia Davis for this quote, from her book Subtle Aromatherapy (Daniel Press). This applies to the study of aromatherapy as well as Tarot.
Aromatherapy Course
I've just started an Anatomy and Physiology course and an Aromatherapy course online at the School of Natural Health Sciences. Aromatherapy online? you ask. Doesn't the screen get oily? I'll let you know.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C under the microscope
According to the Linus Pauling Institute, Vitamin C (along with lysine) is a key player in the fight against arteriosclerosis. Further, a study from the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine states that Vitamin C in large doses fights cancer, even at stages 3 and 4.

Tina & Ike Turner: Honky Tonk Woman
Should you be feeling that your energy is low, or that you can never succeed, this video will most definitely help with that.
I'm going inside. I may be some time.
There's nothing like a period to fully resent everything. I know I'm annoying and I cry a lot but a whole heap of useless viewpoints and habits come slewing off during this time. I see it as a reset button, being in the service of the Goddess. It's painful going back to zero, but that's winter for you.
In some parts of the world, menstruating women sleep with the livestock. The men say it's because they are unclean, but secretly t's the women's opportunity to get away from the endless round of food preparation, child-rearing, cleaning and other duties imposed on them. Phew.
Humans are the only female animals who permit sex during menstruation. And if you think about it, statistically one in every six women you meet between the ages of 13 to 55 is menstruating right now.
I may be hiding out, but like a snake that has just shed it's skin I'll be so much better when I'm back.
Listen to the Bhagavad Gita in streaming audio
HERE. Here are a few highlights:
Chapter 12, Verse 6-7.
For one who worships Me, giving up all his activities unto Me and being devoted to Me without deviation, engaged in devotional service and always meditating upon Me, who has fixed his mind upon Me, O son of Prtha, for him I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and death.
Chapter 12, Verse 8.
Just fix your mind upon Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and engage all your intelligence in Me. Thus you will live in Me always, without a doubt.
Chapter 12, Verse 20.
He who follows this imperishable path of devotional service and who completely engages himself with faith, making Me the supreme goal, is very, very dear to Me.
Can't see the wood for the trees…
"It's all crashing in all around me, everything is just a big mess, and everyone is behaving like an eejit."
Wouldn't it be great to get a little clarity, some insight, a bit of perspective? Or maybe the impartial judgement of someone who knows you really well, but who doesn't have an agenda?
This is a Tarot reading. With guidance and clarity, not to mention prediction built in, no wonder this "little deck of cards" has been around since 1420 and is going stronger than ever today. See the Tarot readings page for details.

Yin and Yang foods chart
With thanks to the Greg Samples site for this great chart.
I'm now reading The Web That Has No Weaver by Ted Kaptchuk, a beautiful, poetic and above all understandable read on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The basic idea is that a cause of the illness is not sought, only the way that the symptoms create disharmony within the healthy body's patterns, and those imbalances are addressed. My friend Joe H said that "Nowadays, Western medicine is finding that TCM has a lot of benefit" and I said "It's not surprising since it's been around for nearly 4,000 years."
The two main pillars of treatment of TCM are herbs and acupuncture. Sensibly, Mr. Kaptchuk doesn't have a lot to say about the remedies, so I found the above chart online. There is no mention of chocolate, my daughter noticed.
This is Lord Siva and Parvati as one, His/Her attributes are the sword, the staff, the ring and the cup.

Les Cartes Mystiques de Mlle Lenormand
This is the deck I bought at the Librairie du Bonheur in Paris last week. Here is the spread I did on the plane on the way home. I just adore these cards, and as with the Will Worthington Druid Oracle deck, my intention is to not learn the meanings from the book but to learn to read the symbols only, in an intuitive way.
This spread shows me asking about how I can go about most effectively growing my business in 2014.: love, partnerships, daring, responsibility, and in the words of Terry Hall, among others: "Enjoy Yourself."
Boutique Tarot A Paris
This is Librairie du Bonheur in the rue Brea, a lovely little shop that deals in Tarot and esoterica. Visit their website at librairieduboneur.com.
Enjoy 2014 everyone.
At the FEW end of year party
I enjoyed this event such a lot. I must have done 20 readings in 3 hours with nothing to sustain me but some very fancy Teqilla. Still, great to meet everyone and a wonderful networking opportunity. Thanks for having me!
Asaba Art Cafe Wednesdays
So enjoying coming here every week. Above is my warm-up spread, breaking out the Mary-El deck from a period of hibernation.
Right now there is an exhibition of these incredible wreaths, some full-power silver jewelry and gourd lamps. Everything hand-made, hand grown, and in the picture above: macrobiotic stollen.
Star Tarot in good company at Asaba.
Creating On Purpose
I do like this quote from Creating On Purpose from Anodea Judith and Lion Goodman, because I am big into the whole responsibility thing, and I could add that now we have online petitions, thanks to the likes of AVAAZ, we are all in the democratic system, so no more excuses. Look at what happened in Brazil.
The book is great, I am particularly enjoying the "ripping out the old beliefs by the roots" exercises and visualising a whole new wardrobe. Fashion, gardening and self-help! My kind of book!
Gratuitous Autumn Shot
Prosperity & Femininity
Queen Elizabeth I painted by Steven van der Meulen in 1563
"Since our culture tends to over-emphasize the Yang qualities of life – that's the over-busyness that says go-go go in order to accomplish anything – we often feel tired and burnt-out with little to show for it at the end of the day. To balance that tendency out, learn to activate the energy of the Empress in your daily life. Notice how she feels as she reposes there. Is she running around ragged all stressed out? No. She is in the receptive state – she is fertile by her nature. Her state of mind generates harmony with her surroundings, hence abundance is hers. She is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, creativity, fertility, art, harmony, luxury, beauty and grace. When you can be 'the Empress', you will have these qualities in your life."

Developing Intuition
I've shared this on Facebook before but I'll put it here again now, HERE is the link to the Oprah site article on developing intuition. Very useful, very helpful.
Ted Andrews
Thank you for the shielding Middle Pillar exercise, Ted. I love it.
I have a scan of the pages in question from Ted's Andrews' book "Learn to See and Read the Aura". The book in itself is well worth the small amount of money it costs, esp. If you buy it second hand, and it's full of great exercises for, among other things, taking care of your aura. But if you want a copy if the scan let me know. Use the form on the About page.
Why shield? Because it feels good.
Since writing this post and since starting regular daily shielding using the Middle Pillar exercise – well, it's more of a chant and visualisation, really – not only have I been really enjoying it, as there is a sense of total wellness and peace that is frankly beautiful, but my life has been going very smoothly. Whereas before I was constantly in crisis mode, it was always "The Wrong Time For This!" for the last two weeks everything has been very smooth and peaceful. I feel less ragged constantly. People don't harass me with just "one more thing, Elise, could you just…?" and the silly crap of life doesn't seem to cling, or even hit. In brief: Middle Pillar exercise is my practice. Can I get a tee-shirt printed? Or a hat?
Card Meanings

Water Ritual for Dark Moon
As you might know, tonight is the dark moon / new moon in Scorpio. This is also All Hallows' Day, the day of the year when the souls of the departed go to heaven, and it's the anniversary of my brother David's death. Moreover, it's a time of solar eclipse in Scorpio, which is like a super-double-plus dark moon. How apt it is then that I should be laid up in bed with a nasty cold feeling like death. Now is the time to think about all the things you want to let go of. These could be fears, worries, doubts, blocks; you could make a list. Because Scorpio is a water sign, this is the perfect opportunity for some water rituals.
There are many great water element rituals: you can have a bath and ritually clean yourself, or a shower, or you can charge water with the energy you want and drink it. Because we are working with a waning energy, the cleansing rituals work great, but also purging and clearing. Here are the dark moon times you are working with:
Tokyo – Sunday 21.48
L.A. – Sunday 05.48
New York – Sunday 08.48
London – Sunday 12.48
This, incidentally, is during the planetary hour of the Moon. Go near a large body of moving water, such as the sea or a river. Bring your ritual cup, pour in tap water, and hold it in your cupped hands. Feel and visualise the worry, fear, block or doubt you want to expunge and speak those fears into the water. Charge the water with this negative energy, feel the negative energy leave through your hands and into the cup. Yuck. This should be at the time of the solar eclipse or dark moon, whichever you wish to work with. As the moon becomes new, or the eclipse passes, pour the water from the cup into the sea or the river – you could use a toilet bowl I guess but where's the beauty in that? unless you are Marcel Duchamp – consciously realising the energy. You are now cleansed and purged. Feel yourself freed of negativity, feel the sweet relief and lightness of the new moon's energy fill you. Vocalise your positive affirmations for the future. Thank the water for helping you to discharge yourself from what was holding you back. The next time you are that way, you could bring it a gift.
Blessed be.
PS: all the usual cleansing and warding rituals, for yourself and your tools, before and after, need to be observed, don't forget!
"You say fortune-teller like it's a bad thing"…
…is my favourite picking from facebook for today, from Donnaleigh de la Rose. Try the phrase yourself with "metaphysical" or "esoteric". Anyway, I laughed.
Tarot Workshops at Asaba Art Cafe
I'm feeling way under the weather today but I'm happy to say that the regular Tarot workshops are starting again from next Wednesday at the fantabulous Asaba Art Cafe. Honestly, I can't think of a better location or a happier, funkier crowd to be setting to and doing open (public) readings and sweet spontaneous Tarot workshops. Fee is by donation, we suggest ¥500 to ¥3,000. After all if you don't value it enough to pay you won't value the guidance enough to follow it, right?

Major Arcana Astrological Associations
I'm in the process of writing a table for the keywords and associations of all the cards. Please check the Card Meanings page for details. For now, this is the Astrological association of the Major Arcana or Trumps of the Tarot according to the Golden Dawn system.
No. Arcana Association 0 Fool Element of Air I Magician Mercury II The High Priestess The Moon III The Empress Venus IV The Emperor Aries V The Hierophant Taurus VI The Lovers Gemini VII The Chariot Cancer VIII Strength Leo IX The Hermit Virgo X The Wheel of Fortune Jupiter XI Justice Libra XII The Hanged Man Element of Water XIII Death Scorpio XIV Temperance Sagittarius XV The Devil Capricorn XVI The Tower Mars XVII The Star Aquarius XVIII The Moon Pisces XIX The Sun The Sun XX Judgement Element of Fire XXI The World Saturn
Note that there is no Earth Element association. XXI The World sometimes acts as the Earth Element card.
I have had some enquiries about Tarotscopes and when they might be coming back. The truth is that I am up to my neck in a counseling course and I simply don't have time for Tarotscopes at the moment.
Rest assured, gentle readers, that Tarotscopes will return in the new year. And thank you for your continued support over this last month. Apparently, November is set to be a month to remember. In a good way, of course.
Kanto Tarot Meetup – October
Today is Kanto Tarot Meetup day. We are scheduled to meet in Mark City Shibuya's Starbucks – chosen by our member Karen, can I just quickly say – at 12:30 to talk about life, love, the universe in Tarot form. See the Kanto Tarot Meetup Page for details.
Mystic Medusa
I receive The Lady Medusa's daily horoscopes and frankly where would I be without them? To whit, this weekend's:
"You know, that we are just over a week off another Eclipse – this one a regenerative booster New Moon AND it's augmented by Chiron sextile Pluto.
A positive new force in your life that has been trying to happen all year can now get some serious, sensational traction.
In some ways, one could argue that the tension of this year has been the old world/a previous version of yourself doing battle with the fresh vibe/new you trying to emerge: this next fortnight is when you can see the shinier reinvented self winning out.

Researchers at the University of Georgia have discovered that a virus commonly found in dogs may serve as the foundation for human vaccine development.
Although harmless in humans, parainfluenza virus 5, or PIV5, is thought to contribute to upper respiratory infections in dogs, and it is a common target for canine vaccines designed to prevent kennel cough. In a paper published recently in PLOS ONE, researchers describe how this virus could be used in humans to protect against diseases that have eluded vaccine efforts for decades.
"We can use this virus as a vector for all kinds of pathogens that are difficult to vaccinate against," said Biao He, the study's principal investigator and professor of infectious diseases in UGA's College of Veterinary Medicine. "We have developed a very strong H5N1 flu vaccine with this technique, but we are also working on vaccines for HIV, tuberculosis and malaria."
PIV5 does not cause disease in humans, as our immune system is able to recognize and destroy it. By placing antigens from other viruses or parasites inside PIV5, it effectively becomes a delivery vehicle that exposes the human immune system to important pathogens and allows it to create the antibodies that will protect against future infection.
This approach not only ensures full exposure to the vaccine but also is much safer because it does not require the use of attenuated, or weakened, pathogens. For example, an HIV vaccine delivered by PIV5 would contain only those parts of the HIV virus necessary to create immunity, making it impossible to contract the disease from the vaccine.
"Safety is always our number one concern," said He, who is also a Georgia Research Alliance distinguished investigator and member of the Faculty of Infectious Diseases. "PIV5 makes it much easier to vaccinate without having to use live pathogens."
Using viruses as a delivery mechanism for vaccines is not a new technique, but previous efforts have been fraught with difficulty. If humans or animals already possess a strong immunity to the virus used for delivery, the vaccine is unlikely to work, as it will be destroyed by the immune system too quickly.
"Pre-existing immunity to viruses is the main reason most of these vaccines fail," He said.
But in this latest study, He and his colleagues demonstrate that immunity to PIV5 does not limit its effectiveness as a vaccine delivery mechanism, even though many animals–including humans– already carry antibodies against it.
In their experiments, the researchers found that a single dose inoculation using PIV5 protected mice from the influenza strain that causes seasonal flu. Another single dose experimental vaccine also protected mice from the highly pathogenic and deadly H5N1 virus commonly known as bird flu.
This recent work is a culmination of more than fifteen years of research and experimentation with the PIV5 virus, and He has confidence that it will serve as an excellent foundation for vaccines to treat diseases in both animals and humans.
"I believe we have the best H5N1 vaccine candidate in existence," He said. "But we have also opened up a big field for a host of new vaccines."

Oxen case spurs college plea for helpBy LISA RATHKE
The Associated Press | January 16,2013
MONTPELIER — Officials with the Vermont college that was targeted by animal rights activists over its decision to slaughter two oxen told a legislative committee that resources are needed for farms and other businesses to deal with potential online threats from activists.
Green Mountain College officials and students testified before the House Agriculture Committee on Tuesday about the ordeal that ensued this fall after the school decided in a public forum to slaughter two retired oxen from the college's farm and use the meat in its dining hall.
The uproar began after VINE Sanctuary, based in Springfield, Vt., offered a home for the animals and urged followers to contact Green Mountain College officials and ask them to reconsider their decision. VINE stands for Veganism is the Nest Evolution.
Critics signed online petitions, other groups got involved and followers sent millions of emails from around the world — some of them threatening and vitriolic — to try to spare the animals, school officials said, displaying some of the messages to the committee. Groups opposed to the school's decision put it under surveillance, with photos of the campus and video appearing online, officials said.
Area slaughterhouses in Vermont, New York and New Hampshire were threatened, preventing the small liberal arts college from finding a place to butcher them, the school said.
"Students felt threatened. I felt threatened," said Philip Ackerman-Leist, head of the school's Farm and Food Project.
He has proposed setting up a rapid response team that includes a respected veterinarian, a social media expert, a lawyer and representatives from nonprofit groups to help others — colleges, farms or businesses — if they come under such an attack.
"We needed support. We needed help from other organizations," said Ackerman-Leist, who said the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross were a big help.
VINE's coordinator has said the effort took off far beyond what the group expected and the group itself has been threatened but it has never endorsed violent language.
The college eventually euthanized the injured ox and decided to keep the other ox at the farm.
Baylee Drown, the assistant manager of the college's farm, asked legislators on Tuesday to consider some sort of recourse for the businesses that are interrupted by the activities of activists.
"I want to encourage you to make some sort of an avenue for us to defend ourselves so that we do not feel powerless, and possibly a task force would be wonderful so there's some sort of response," she said.MORE IN Vermont NewsHorse farm owner Full StoryVTC says layoffs Full StoryFeature on a charm necklace that belonged to the late, great Lola Aiken Full Story

You'll see I have strong interests in defense, security, and development issues at home and abroad. I travelled a bit, in Africa, as the Chairman of the Great Lakes Africa APPG, up to 2012. I argue the case for more direct investment and more democracy in African states, most recently debating the case for stronger links between Kenya and the UK in Parliament. http://investingindevelopment.com/?p=720read more about Eric →

Some UKIP dimwit, aka their Scottish MEP, has explained that his party will concentrate its general election efforts on Scotland's 'rust' belt; "We're looking at the Scottish rust belt.

Scots voted No, in the end, on a 'vow' of greater devolution.

If the UK government, Tory or.. read more →
It's a few hours after the devolution result was announced – so naturally, the devo-plus legislation 'vow' has already been delayed until after the 2015 general election.

With the referendum polls apparently neck-and-neck why is it that the Scottish titles have, all but one, stayed away from endorsing 'Yes'?

I think there will be a No vote on Thursday – possibly swung on the votes of people who say they are not Scots.

David Cameron says governments shouldn't pay ransoms. He's right. He also says that companies and individuals should be banned from paying ransoms. That's dead wrong.

Jim Murphy and Alistair Darling – with energy and passion on the one hand, decency and commonsense on the other – have, I think, done their best for the No camp.

Polling this week suggested that 'No' has a 6 point lead - 53% to 47% ('don't knows' discounted).

An Elegant Tea Party
I recently hosted an Elegant Morning Tea for some friends, and thought I'd do my best to treat everyone in traditional Pretty & Elegant High Tea style.
We indulged in raspberry & white chocolate friands, freshly baked fruit scones with strawberry jam & chantilly cream, white chocolate wafers, rose water cupcakes and cucumber sandwiches. For refreshments, we of course had a selection of English tea, herbal teas & coffee, as well as some pink lemonade.
The occasion called for my best bone china cups & saucers and I was happy to have the opportunity to use my silver tea spoon set and pretty cake tiers & platters.
Beautiful flower arrangements were a must, and I filled two crystal vases with pink oriental lilies, lilac chrysanthemum disbuds, white roses and gardenias from my garden.
It was lots of fun and certainly felt like a treat for us all! xo Amy
Halloween Witches Abode Party {Free Printable}
It's Halloween Night and the nasty Witch 'Wicked Wendy' has flown in on her broomstick and kicked off her shoes for a quick refreshment between scary jobs!
What on earth do witches eat and drink? I hear you ask, well Pumpkin Scones with Blackberry Jam & Chantilly Cream of course! Washed down with some fresh Pumpkin Juice.
For snacks Wicked Wendy Witch and her friends are feasting on Human Eyeballs, Vampire Teeth, Bat Droppings and Dragon's Tongues! Yum!
…And of course, her book of spells and wicked potions are never far away!
We created Wicked Wendy's broom using Bamboo Sticks and a dried palm berry stem for the bristles.
These elements tied together with some string, and you have your very own rustic witches broom.
For the Pumpkin Scones, after preheating our oven to 180deg C, we combined 30g of softened Butter with 1/4 cup of Caster Sugar, until creamy.
Then we finely chopped 1 cup of pumpkin and put it in the microwave for 4 minutes. While it was hot, we mashed the pumpkin until smooth, and added it to the butter mixture.
Then, we beat in an egg. While those ingredients were mixing together, in a separate bowl, we sifted together 2 1/2 cups of Self Raising Flour, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
We folded the dry mixture into the wet mixture, alternating with splashes from 1/2 cup of milk.
When the mixture came together in a dough-like form, we turned it out on a floured surface, and kneaded it for about 2-3 minutes. Then we patted out a circle approx. 2cm thick.
We used a champagne glass to cut out the circles (why not?!) and placed them altogether on a greased baking tray.
15 minutes in a hot oven later and we had delicious freshly baked pumpkin scones ~ good enough for any evil witch and her friends!
Served warm with some Blackberry Jam & Chantilly Cream…perfectly wicked!

3. Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder together. Lightly fold into creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Fold in slivered almonds. Spoon mixture into cases until 2/3 full.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked when tested. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Marshmallow Icing
1. In a medium saucepan, bring the 1/3 cup of water, sugar, cream of tartar to a boil. Do not stir the sugar mixture as this will cause it to crystallise. Boil until you have thick, clear bubbles (about 5 minutes). When the bubbles appear, remove from heat immediately.
2. In a metal bowl, add the egg whites and beat them with an electric mixer until thick soft peaks form.
3. Set a timer for 7 minutes and beat the egg mixture on high speed, while slowly streaming the sugar syrup in a little at a time.
4. Your icing is ready when all sugar syrup has been mixed in and texture is thick and creamy.
Place icing in a piping bag and pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
Top iced cupcakes with slivered almonds, mini marshmallows and chopped turkish delight. Melt chocolate in microwave for 20 second intervals, then use spoon to drizzle chocolate over the cupcake toppings & icing.
Enjoy! xo
Vintage Sewing Chic 60th Birthday Party
What to do for a Mum who is turning 60, and who doesn't want any 'fuss' or to really celebrate in any way? A Sewing Chic Surprise 60th Birthday Party of course!
I planned this party for my Mum, who lives two states away. It was certainly a challenge organising everything, and especially to keep the surprise, but I certainly couldn't have done it without the help of my Dad, Brother and some Amazing friends.
After Mum had arrived, and got over the initial shock, then anger that we had gone to so much trouble, she was delighted to see so many old and new friends.
I made sure to use her favourite colours of Purple, Pink and Cream in the party styling, with the main inspiration being a piece of her own handmade embroidery that she had given me.
To add to the fun, my sister-in-law made a beautiful bespoke cake, and we set up a lolly bar complete with personalised chocolates. I decorated a Memories book for Mum's friends & family to sign, and also put together a Memories board of some key moments of Mum's life, which she enjoyed showing her guests.
We enjoyed a sit down 3 course dinner, and just to embarrass Mum a little bit more, I placed tags of little informative tid-bits about Mum on the flower arrangements in the centre of the table, so the guests could learn things about Mum that she had done in her life that they may not have known about.
After dinner, we all had a great time being silly in the Photo Booth, trying on hats and using the fun photo booth props I had printed.
A big thank you to everyone who made this Party possible, and a very Happy Birthday to my Mum!

50g butter
2 teaspoons lemon rind

1. Preheat oven to 180 deg Celsius (160 deg Fan Forced Oven). Line 12 cupcake pans with paper cases.
2. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar and lemon rind until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the flour and milk, in alternate batches, and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
3. Spoon mixture evenly among the lined pans and smooth the surface. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire reck to cool completely.

6. Place eggwhites in a clean, dry bowl. Use an electric mixer to whisk until firm peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating well between each addition. Continue beating for 2-3 minutes or until sugar completely dissolves. Spoon meringue on top of each cupcake, using a round-bladed knife to spake in peaks over the cakes and enclosing the filling.

When men's designer Kim Jones showed the new Louis Vuitton collection in Paris, he continued to prove why he's the most formidable menswear designers in the game. Jones has a penchant for tapping into the centuries-old heritage of the fashion house and making it seem as relevant as ever. Taking the Damier signature checkerboard pattern and remaking it in black and dark blue.
The newly christened Damier Cobalt canvas collection is proof that you can teach an old print new tricks, and what's more—you can already purchase the coveted collection now! From luxurious bags to small accessories like wallets and card holders, the new collection offers something for every guy looking to upgrade his everyday carry.
New for Fall 2014, TOM FORD launches a range of unique and luxurious sneakers. Available in high and low-tops, there are 7 different colours in leather and 5 in velvet.
The handcrafted shoe is an emblem of luxury menswear. Each sneaker in the collection is made in Italian workshops over a one week process of stitching, polishing, and resting the leather. Artisans from second and third generation cobbler families produce eighty percent of the object by hand. The highest grade European leather, taken from the middle and most prized layer of the hide, is tanned with vegetable oils, waxes, and minerals and tinted with vegetable dyes to render leather that is supple, shiny, and strong. The shoemaker lightly irons and hammers the upper onto the last, which softens and shrinks the skin. It is then left for ten days, so that the shoe takes its shape slowly and deliberately. The sneakers are then hand polished in a process that takes 3 days to achieve a deep patina that is particularly noticeable on the toe. This authentic and time-tested process ensures a fit, comfort level, and longevity far superior to conventional ready-to-wear footwear.
The velvet version is soft, smooth and has an added depth of colour when it catches the light. Both versions are complimented by a white rubber sole and finished with the same attention to detail and handwork as all TOM FORD products.
Prada Driving Shoes are crafted with meticulous attention to every detail, and hand-stitched using the most intricate artisan shoemaking techniques.
The tubular construction and stitching on the last guarantee a well-made, comfortable shoe that fits around the foot as naturally as possible. The upper is laid out and secured by hand, then the vamp (upper front part of the shoe) attached using the traditional and exclusive puckered seam and more than 100 individual, hand-sewn stitches.
In addition to iconic materials, like Saffiano leather and calf suede, Prada also uses fine ostrich and crocodile skins which add to the sophistication and exclusive nature of the shoes.
A single expert shoemaker carries out the 200 steps of the process, assuring a lasting, superior quality and excellent product.
Well versed in the heritage of eyewear, Oliver Peoples has been recognized for its classic contemporary aesthetic, dedication to craftsmanship, and innovative approach for almost 30 years.
In collaboration with acclaimed fashion designer Isabel Marant, Oliver Peoples presents the Matt, a retro-modern take on the aviator. Made in ultra lightweight metal, the sleekly aerodynamic frame--featuring looped temple tips and lenses in subtle tints and gradients--reflects the effortless look and attitude of the '70s. Suited for both men and women, the Matt is also stylishly versatile, striking the perfect balance between casual and sophisticated.
Classic and contemporary, the Matt makes the perfect gift on Father's Day, available at ILORI on the second level of The Shops at Crystals.

Sue I have to thank you so much for your help words can never express how much you've helped me over years in so many ways and how grateful I am for that.... I will try to be strong and if I feel myself like I cannot cope I will be back in touch for another reading from you. It's still early days for me sue... LOTS OF LOVEXXX
That has made me fell about a million % better, thank you soooooooooooooooooo much for your reply x
As you predicted and of course as always thank you very much, I got through my initial internal training course with the company on S*******. I am going to H*******tomorrow and so that's when all the real hard work will start! Many many thanks! You are the best!
As always many thanks for the reading yesterday. It's very comforting speaking with you as you're very genuine and honest.
By the way -- you was absolutely right in February when you said that J****'s ex will approach her -- he did... And there will be another guy -- both guys olive skinned -- that is absolutely true!
Dear Sue, thank you for your amazing reading!
You have given me strength & purpose in life after a 1/2hr reading. Your a complete treasure.
Thank you Sue, the court was exactly as you said, no hearing etc.
Spot on many thanks .
This is the second reading I have had with Sue, the first being 10 years ago and proved to be very accurate. Sue is very friendly but also very professional. I appreciate that Sue allows you to ask questions after the reading, as it is easy to forget something during the reading.
I was really pleased with the reading I had with you last month, I have booked another reading with you as I was focusing on one particular matter on my first reading. I did also book a reading for my husband last month and he was surprised with reading.
Afternoon sue! omg you was right again...
I last came to you ten years ago , and I have to say that what you said then has proved to be very accurate.
Thank you so much for my recent reading. It affected me much more than I thought it would. It has proved to be very accurate. So thank you again.
Sue, you'll be pleased to know that you were right about *******'s seizures being localised more to the back of her brain rather than the frontal lobe, which has been the official diagnosis for years and years until today, or rather yesterday now.
Hi Sue, I would like to give you a review following last weeks reading. it was both shocking and amazing. I am still in shock now.
Hi Sue, thank you so much for my reading yesterday it was fantastic and very helpful
Sue is absolutely fantastic; I don't think I would have a relationship with my special person without her. She is incredible the way she understands his complex mind and she always gives me hope, even when things look difficult. I promise you; I would not make decisions unless I have asked her opinion - I am proud to think of her as my friend because she is one of the most patient, kind, thoughtful and honest people. I simply cannot recommend her enough; she has the most incredible gift. xxx
Had a lovely time during my first visit to Sue! Came away with a few surprises that I didn't expect at all, but a lot of other things to look forward too! Thank you Sue! xx
Thank you very much your a very talented lady. Can't thank you enough my mind is a lot clearer. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
ive just listened to my reading you did for me recently and its fascinating , every time i hear something new that i didn't hear the time before lol .
I cannot explain in words what this lady has done for me.I went to see Sue last April as i was having a lot of problems health and work,Sue helped me and within 8 weeks i felt better went out of an office job which i hated to back outdoors and promoted up two grades and felt better.I am enjoying life much more now.I went to see Sue last week the 25th April and if the things she said come true and i have no reason to doubt Sue it will probably the best moment of my life.I suggest you visit Sue and you will see what i mean a truelly execptional lady thanks Sue
BTW, the research grant that I mentioned did come in as you predicted.
thank you for your excellent predictions. you are the best
Hi, just wanted to say thank you. We had some troubled water today, with your guidance we got through it.
Omg sue you are so right.. It's like you knew everything we went through. life is very funny at times !
everything you predicted 12 months ago has been proved right. have met an olive skinned lady am very happy. early stages. have we a future together. await your reply with interest. good health and happiness to you sue x
You were right again, I got what I asked for at work : )
|I have had a face to face reading with Sue and was very pleased with what she told me I've also asked a question by email and was surprised that she knew about my current situation and what was going to happen in the future Sue made me feel more confidant and made me feel that there is hope out there,i will definitely go and see Sue again Thanks again.
|Sue was recommended to me by a friend. I was in a very confusing place, but in just a short reading, Sue accurately summed up my dilemma, told me certain details that I had not mentioned, and gave me confidence to make a difficult decision. Very, very helpful.
Just a quick note, but one from the heart... thank you for your words, feelings and wisdom. I will digest all you have revealed and look to my future with more hope and better clarity.
Thank you Sue,You've picked up several things that I didn't tell you! Wow.
Thank you for another amazing reading again.Bless
Thank you for your help, you're brilliant - you have made me believe that this gift really exists! Would love to meet you some day :)
I wanted to say thank you again and tell you the experience I've had when I threw the stones in the sea.It was Sunday 13th October when I've decided to follow your advise. You said to me to decide whether to keep the one stone with the two marks or throw it but I thought I went through that pain/strengthening already so let go. I've done each stone individually yet each time I thought I am falling with them into the sea, like being drawn into which was very strange….it kind of scared me. As soon they were gone a rainbow did occur on land and I stood there for a few minutes. As soon as I left my spot and walked away an extreme shower did come down…so powerful my umbrella was damaged and I was running for shelter. It remained only a few minutes and the rest of the day no dry…I found this very unusual

Great Get Away
March 3, 2011
We had a wonderful time. It had eveything that you need. Just bring your clothes and toothbrush. The location is great. Close to places to eat, movies, and the beaches when you want the ocean. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the fish jumping and the birds eating. Thanks for our 2 months at your wonderful get away. Marty and Cindy

Bafana have qualified for AFCON 2015. How will they fare at the tournament? Have your say on our Forum!

London - Former Bolton star Fabrice Muamba will present the League Cup to the winning captain in Sunday's final between Bradford City and Swansea City at Wembley.
Muamba will be the sponsor's guest of honour and will also watch the match from the Royal Box as well as being introduced to both teams before the game.
The 24-year-old was forced to retire prematurely after suffering a cardiac arrest while playing for Bolton Wanderers in an FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur last March.
The midfielder's heart stopped beating for 78 minutes but, because of the prompt treatment he received on the pitch, he defied the odds to survive and make an incredible recovery.
Although he hoped to resume his career, he was advised against it by doctors and retired from the sport in August.
"It's been such an exciting tournament this year and it will be a great honour to be presenting the trophy to the winners," Muamba said. "I know it will be a very special atmosphere on Sunday."
