Lactose intolerance refers to those people who don't produce the enzyme "lactase" which is required for metabolizing lactose. Lactase is produced by almost all children, in order to digest their mother's milk, however, many cultures don't use milk as a food after weaning, so the production of the enzyme ceases or reduces extremely. Consequently, among those populations, there is a very high incidence of lactose intolerance as adults- notably Asian and Native American cultures suffer this. It is, however, very rare amongst Northern European, and other cultures which eat milk products throughout their lives. -- Saint Phlip Heat it up Hit it hard Repent as necessary.

Horrible chemical taste like pear drops
I thought this tasted really artificial, a little like pear drops. I didn't like it at all but other pear ciders are lovely.
02 May 2014
my favourite cider
This is bliss in a bottle. I have tried all the pear ciders, from Stella cidre to strongbow, etc., and this is hands-down the best of the lot. I don't like the malty, almost beery qualities of some ciders, I prefer a lightness, and this is fresh and sweet. Almost like a cordial. It's best in a pint glass over ice. So good. It is sweet, there is no doubt, but I disagree with the other comments as far as chemical / for unrefined youth. Nope, this is refined, tasty, not chemical at all. It's a warm summers day, full of sunshine.

The best pear cider
I don't really understand those complaining that it is too sweet. I've never tasted a perry that wasn't sweet. It's why people buy them. It has a strong taste of pear which I really enjoy. My favourite of all the ciders.

This pear cider is so refreshing loaded with ice! No other compares.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mitt Romney's campaign is finalizing plans for a multistate bus tour to begin late next week.
The Republican presidential candidate is expected to visit Virginia, North Carolina and Florida, although the schedule may change in the coming days. Romney returned from a bumpy overseas trip late Tuesday. He was spending Wednesday in meetings at his Boston campaign headquarters.
Romney is scheduled to campaign in the Denver area on Thursday. Aides report that he'll attend a Republican Governors Association fundraiser in Aspen later that night. A handful of governors often mentioned as possible Romney running mates are scheduled to attend.
Next week's bus tour could be part of the rollout for a running mate. Republican officials are expecting that announcement any day.

The Walker County Sheriff's office cleared the downtown LaFayette courthouse after finding a soft pack cooler located outside the building.
But in actuality it was a container for someone's dinner. A man being supervised by the state probation office was attending a mandatory meeting at the courthouse and forgot his cooler.
The cooler was first discovered around 11:20 a.m. today, next to a pull over jacket, said Sheriff Steve Wilson.
"Out of abundance of caution," Wilson said in a prepared statement that the sheriff's office evacuated the area up to 300 feet around the building and called for a Georgia Bureau of Investigation's explosive technician to come and examine the cooler.
Before the technician arrived, the sheriff's office realized that there had been a class held by the State Probation Office in the building Tuesday evening and officers located the owner of the cooler and jacket, Wilson said.
When officers opened the cooler, it was empty.

text: Some Local Crime Stories Are More Local than Others by John Hayward 19 Jul 2013 post a comment View Discussion Share This: In response to Incredible -- the Democratic Party Threatened a Woman Into Supporting a Known Molester and the Media is Treating It Like a Horrific Abortion Clinic in Philadelphia: Nice contrast there! Back when a local reporter interested in actual journalism was shaming the mainstream media onto its heavily padded knees by circulating photos of the empty press gallery at the Gosnell trial, we got a load of windy B.S. from the media about how Kermit Gosnell was just a "local crime story" that merited no national attention. I guess Filthy Filner is also just a "local story," even though he's (a) the mayor of a major city, located in (b) a once-prosperous state getting ready to slide into the abyss right behind Detroit, for exactly the same reason: decades of corrupt one-party Democrat rule; and (c) a living, breathing caricature of everything the useless "feminist" movement spent the 1990s screaming at the top of its lungs about. I mean, really, Filner is one of the best examples you could find of a powerful, lecherous man who intimidates young women into unwanted sexual encounters, and uses his power to get away with it. He's like an over-the-top character in a movie written by helpful Hollywood to push the feminist sexual harassment agenda, circa 1992... except, of course, for that almighty magic "D" after his name. And the larger story of corruption and abuse of power surrounding his antics is highly relevant to the fate of California, and other blue basket case states. But no, according to the media, it's just a colorful local story. I see Liz posted this morning about the Party giving Filner a pass, after pretending to have a soul-searing debate about whether they could possibly find it in their hearts to give him the benefit of the doubt until all the evidence is in. Whaddya know... it turns out they could find such temperance and forgiveness in their hearts. Of course, it's painfully clear that the only "evidence" that would persuade them to call for his resignation at this point would be Filner tumbling out of a closet during the Party meeting, with his hands firmly affixed to the heaving bosom of a weeping 20-year-old intern. Remember the Anita Hill days of yore, when the "seriousness of the charges" was all that mattered in sexual harassment cases? And in a little footnote to illustrate the media's intellectual poverty in deciding which "local crime stories" to cover, their obsessive focus on an unfortunate shooting in an obscure Florida town isn't going to have any social benefit whatsoever. It's already caused robberies and beatings, and it may very well get innocent people killed, either by rioters or by murderous crooks, if the gun-control nuts manage to get "Stand Your Ground" laws repealed. The only greater lesson to be learned from this particular "local crime story" is the one our media celebrities absolutely refuse to discuss: Don't attack people and beat their heads into the ground just because they looked at you funny. But the Kermit Gosnell trial? That's changing the course of national history, even despite the parlous media coverage. The ground of the abortion debate has shifted; the abortion nuts are losing, and losing badly. They're scared out of their wits over it. "Blind panic" is a fair description of their alert status. But no, that was just a tiny little nothingburger of a back-page Philly metro story, undeserving of national coverage or deep analysis.

Caterpillar Financial Services Corp. (CAT1) started marketing its third offshore yuan-denominated bond, according to a person familiar with the matter and data compiled by Bloomberg.
The two-year note is being marketed at a yield in the low 3 percent area, the person said, asking not to be identified because the details are private.
Caterpillar last raised money selling so-called Dim Sum bonds when it issued 2.3 billion yuan ($364 million) of 1.35 percent, two-year securities in July. The company's parent is Peoria, Illinois-based Caterpillar Inc. (CAT), the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, according to its website.
Jim Dugan, a spokesman at Caterpillar in Illinois, wasn't immediately available to comment on the new bond sale when contacted by e-mail outside of normal business hours.

Criteria for preclinical Alzheimer disease (AD) propose β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques to initiate neurodegeneration within AD-affected regions. However, some cognitively normal older individuals harbor neural injury similar to patients with AD, without concurrent Aβ burden. Such findings challenge the proposed sequence and suggest that Aβ-independent precursors underlie AD-typical neurodegenerative patterns.
To examine relationships between Aβ and non-Aβ factors as well as neurodegeneration within AD regions in cognitively normal older adults. The study quantified neurodegenerative abnormalities using imaging biomarkers and examined cross-sectional relationships with Aβ deposition; white matter lesions (WMLs), a marker of cerebrovascular disease; and cognitive functions.
Design, Setting, and Participants
Cross-sectional study in a community-based convenience sample of 72 cognitively normal older individuals (mean [SD] age, 74.9 [5.7] years; 48 women; mean [SD] 17.0 [1.9] years of education) of the Berkeley Aging Cohort.
Each individual underwent a standardized neuropsychological test session, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography scanning.
Main Outcomes and Measures
For each individual, 3 AD-sensitive neurodegeneration biomarkers were measured: hippocampal volume, glucose metabolism, and gray matter thickness, the latter 2 sampled from cortical AD-affected regions. To quantify neurodegenerative abnormalities, each biomarker was age adjusted, dichotomized into a normal or abnormal status (using cutoff thresholds derived from an independent AD sample), and summarized into 0, 1, or more than 1 abnormal neurodegenerative biomarker. Degree and topographic patterns of neurodegenerative abnormalities were assessed and their relationships with cognitive functions, WML volume, and Aβ deposition (quantified using carbon 11–labeled Pittsburgh compound B positron emission tomography).
Of our cognitively normal elderly individuals, 40% (n = 29) displayed at least 1 abnormal neurodegenerative biomarker, 26% (n = 19) of whom had no evidence of elevated Pittsburgh compound B retention. In those people who were classified as having abnormal cortical thickness, degree and topographic specificity of neurodegenerative abnormalities were similar to patients with AD. Accumulation of neurodegenerative abnormalities was related to poor memory and executive functions as well as larger WML volumes but not elevated Pittsburgh compound B retention.
Conclusions and Relevance
Our study confirms that a substantial proportion of cognitively normal older adults harbor neurodegeneration, without Aβ burden. Associations of neurodegenerative abnormalities with cerebrovascular disease and cognitive performance indicate that neurodegenerative pathology can emerge through non-Aβ pathways within regions most affected by AD.

|"I walk like this cause I can back it up." - Beyonce
So what does one call a woman who walks it like she talks it?
Somewhere around '98, I watched a music video on BET featuring an upcoming female group from Houston, Texas. Although the ballad No, No, No was sultry, it didn't move me, and thus wasn't anything to write home about. At a time when multi-talented artists Lauryn Hill and R.Kelly completely owned pop charts, in my opinion, Destiny's Child needed a song that demanded attention. Weeks later, I recalled a live performance introducing a hip-hop driven remixed version of the song which featured Wyclef Jean's vocals and thought to myself the group now had the right idea. Apparently so did others, as the song bolted up charts and announced the group's arrival. Then came the coming-of-age Soul Train awards performance where the group strutted onstage to welcomed applause. Not quite "the young Supremes" as Wyclef had suggested, unless of course, he referred to the level of disparaged interest between lead singer and fellow members. Even then, few confused Beyonce Knowles as Diana Ross. Fifteen years later, who could've possibly imagined that both would one day be together in terms of worldwide velocity.
Yet there are some who, to the day, continue to front as if they don't really want it.
Sweet dream or beautiful nightmare. Not since late rapper Tupac Shakur had a recording artist drawn such conspicuously different responses on opposite ends of the spectrum. Beyonce's critics are contradicting, to the point where I've occasionally wondered if in fact it is actually Beyonce who is being referred. Opinions so polar that I once interrupted a conversation and insisted to be shown an image of Beyonce to ensure it wasn't Nicki Minaj or Lady GaGa. Simply put, I cram to understand the amount of criticism hurled at an artist so irreplaceable. There is none like Beyonce.
Usually, whenever a flamboyantly beautiful woman struts into the room, many are taken aback. I've noticed this to be particularly true involving women. It isn't necessarily the physical features that leaves others threatened, as much as the overall bold nature. Human nature teaches that any act which is considered offensive results in a defensive reaction. In this case, Beyonce is all but expected to humble herself when in reality she has little to do with another woman's insecurity. Imagine yourself in Beyonce's shoes - which in all probability you have, and consider the enormous amount of hard work it took to reach and maintain current position in the industry. At no point are good looks and ego alone expected to become the meal ticket, end of all ends. Although appealing to the eyes, striking beauty never equated to the overall talent and high-level sweat that defines the core of Beyonce's dime piece. Success wasn't given, it was thoroughly earned.
For as long as I can remember, when it comes to women, the music industry has exacted a certain image within videos. The flawless woman who possessed nothing but top-notch qualities. Beyonce personifies this image. So, work ethic aside, to witness someone like Beyonce defies logic and leads one to insist that she is fake. Cause a woman as fierce as Beyonce cannot possibly be real, can she? While it's possible to simply not prefer Beyonce, I hardly believe as much to be true in instances where so much energy is invested into the woman's every move. If only I had a dime for every time somebody claimed utter disdain, then proceeded to offer opinion upon every last one of her songs and videos. Furthermore, and to add perspective, the majority of women hurling criticism towards Beyonce's excessive pussy-popping stage performances are the same women in favor of Roe v. Wade, which allowed women the right to do as they preferred with their bodies. Enchanting, or so I've heard.
Truth is - Beyonce is "your girl." She paid dues, made the right moves all across the board and continues to hold it down, despite unfounded resistance. Sure, there are other beautiful and talented and hard-working female recording artists such as Adele, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, to name a few. But none as beautiful and talented and hard-working as Beyonce. If Diana Ross is The Boss, then Beyonce is The Boss of All Bosses. The Upgrade. Your favorite female artist's favorite female artist. King B.
Again, what does one call a woman who walks it like she talks it?
A bad bitch, period.

Humour helps us cope with failure
Humour can be an effective method for coping with failure, new research has suggested. Investigators from the University of Kent found that positive reframing and acceptance are also ways in which people can deal with small setbacks and keep their spirits up.
Published in the international journal Anxiety, Stress and Coping, the study revealed these three strategies are the most effective in helping people feel satisfied at the end of the day.
Leaders of the research Dr Joachim Stoeber, an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and Dr Dirk Janssen from the university's school of psychology said the findings will be useful to those working on stress research, such as counsellors and clinicians.
Dr Stoeber noted there is no use in a person dragging him or herself down following a failure, adding: "Instead it is more helpful to try to accept what happened, look for positive aspects and - if it is a small thing - have a laugh about it."

Unclear Description: Asian Hooker Stereotype get usage counts
BurnAsian Hooker Stereotype found in: 13 articles, excluding discussions. Since January 1, 2011 this article has brought 0 people to the wiki from non-search engine links. This trope is doing terribly. I'm not surprised. This doesn't seem like a very prominent stereotype or trope. Looking at a few of the examples...

BurnStarting out among white people, this stereotype has since been adopted and nourished by some conservative Asians, as a Double Standard to keep "their" women in line: Western women can be free and still respectable, but an Asian woman behaving in the same way is to be condemned as a prostitute. This typically come in the form of Entitled to Have You implications that every Asian woman has some kind of duty to marry an Asian man - if she goes Asian Gal with White Guy it makes her a Race Traitor. I was just looking through the description, and I've got to say, this is one of the creepiest paragraphs I've seen on tv tropes. Maybe this is all unintentional, but the last line makes it sound like the complaining of a very lonely man. Also, the description is schizophrenic as all hell. What is this stereotype?

BurnI'm not sure. I think that the description could use changing (It's not clear that straight examples of this stereotype aren't very common). Right now, the main problem I see from the examples is that they aren't clarifying the stereotype very well, and the description isn't clarifying the stereotype well because it's talking more about how others react to it. I'm not sure we should be talking about a title change just yet, but the main problem I see from the title is that it sounds like a stereotype about prostitution (sex for money) when it's more about sexual availability in the description and in the majority of examples. Also, South Park Cartman example has to go, since it's not actually an example. I'm cutting it.

Gentleman Troper!While it's certainly true that Asian hookers exist, that falls under People Sit on Chairs. What exactly is this stereotype, though? I'm not seeing much of a stereotype here except "they will have sex for money", which again is People Sit on Chairs.
Special trousers. Very heroic.
For reference, this trope was created by Xzenu during a debate about Asian Gal with White Guy. During that discussion, it was being argued whether or not Me Love You Long Time should be restored as the [Trope Name] since the nebulous AGWWG was causing misuse for any type of Asian/White relationship. Xzenu, and others, argued that MLYLT invokes "misuse" of the trope because the Trope Namer was about prostitution. So, he made this trope. I've also stated, in the other thread, that his description of this trope is way too specific. Really, this is an "aggregate trope". That is, it's a People Sit on Chairs that perpetuates itself so much that it becomes a trope by how many times it shows up. For example, I'm sure that an Angry Black Man exists in Real Life (being Black myself, I know it for a fact, even)...however, the fact that this particular characterization shows up so much in fiction makes it a trope, and a stereotype.
So, all that being said, here's my proposed solution: the trope itself, is simple: it's an asian woman as a sex worker. Period. It doesn't matter why she's a sex worker; it doesn't matter how it's justified or deconstructed. Being an aggregate trope, it doesn't provide us the luxury of picking and choosing which examples of it qualify. That being said however, we should focus on Analysis of the trope. Just by Googling "asian hooker stereotype", I was once able to come away with a lot of interesting articles, blogs, and introspectives on the subject. Even if the trope itself is simple, the reasons for why it persists in media are complex. For example, Spark 9, the reason it's a stereotype is because this was how American G Is were first introduced to Asian women during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Asian women portrayed as sex slaves/prostitutes has appeared in Law & Order and many other shows/movies (such as Payback. It's gone way past People Sit on Chairs now, and to consider it that is dismissing the issue. It's impossible to have an asian woman as a prostitute in Western fiction and not invoke this trope.

Gentleman Troper!I don't see how "<ethnicity> person who is a <profession>" is a trope. "Asian Girls Are Easy" would be a trope. Or perhaps "All Asian Girls Are Hookers". We could definitely have a trope about camp followers. But this? Not really.

Again, because of how many times it shows up, and the fact that it's a role Hollywood often enforces on Asian women. Also, All X Are Y is a a dying snowclone.

I agree with King Zeal. Asian women are depicted disporportionatly as hookers, geishas, concubines, people that marry American GI's just to get American citizenship, etc. And then of course there is the "South East Asian underage prostitute" varient on the trope that pops up from time to time, and isn't confined to females either.

I don't think it's explicitly stated, but the narrative goes out of its way to say the girls of Old Town can take care of themselves. My guesswork is just Occam's Razor.

Michigan Senators Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin remember Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone for his passion and courage.
The Minnesota Democrat was killed Friday when the plane he was riding in crashed in northern Minnesota. He was on his way to the funeral of a friend. Wellstone's wife, daughter, three aides and the two pilots of the plane also died.
Senator Debbie Stabenow called Wellstone "a fighter for families." She remembered him for his help in the Medicare prescription drug effort and their effort to open U.S. borders to lower-cost prescription drugs in Canada.
Senator Carl Levin said Wellstone was a lawmaker who "combines passion for noble causes with personal kindness."
Senator Wellstone was locked in a tight reelection campaign with a Republican challenger.

Groove Armada sign 'record deal' with Bacardi
LONDON - Groove Armada have become the latest pop act to break out of the record company mould by signing a one-year music deal with alcoholic drinks firm Bacardi-Martini.
The agreement also allows Bacardi to commission tracks for use in advertising and other promotional campaigns.
For Bacardi, the deal is a close fit with its two-year old B-Live project, a series of live streamed dance music events that the drinks brand has hosted in more than 25 countries across the globe. Groove Armada are due to play at a number of these over the coming year.
Andy Cato, one half of Groove Armada, said: "After Groove Armada's 10th anniversary year of huge gigs, we were looking for ways to take things to another level. Working alongside Bacardi we have the chance to take the GA travelling show to new people and places, find innovative ways of getting our music out there and keep the stories flowing for the GA Road Movie with Bacardi B-Live."
Groove Armada are no strangers to licensing their music for use in marketing -- their track 'I See You Baby' was used to promote the Renault Megane in a long-running TV campaign.
The ad was been banned from being shown when children were watching TV after complaints that some were copying the language and the ad's bum wiggling.
Bacardi's marketing strategy is particularly focused on attracting young consumers through its involvement in music. For example, it has a heavy presence at UK music festivals, hosting a B-Live Arena at the V Festival and T in The Park.
Groove Armada's deal with Bacardi is the latest in a growing trend in which bands are eschewing traditional ways of releasing music.
Most famously last October, Radiohead let punters pay as little or as much as they wanted for the release of studio album 'In Rainbows'. Just days before the Radiohead news broke, The Charlatans announced that they were to give away their forthcoming album 'You Cross My Path' as a free download in a deal with Xfm; and, in July, Prince sparked a major row with retailer HMV when he gave away his latest album 'Planet Earth' with The Mail on Sunday.

Eco-friendly books are steadily on the rise as people around the world want to know how they can live healthier, cleaner and lessen their impact on our environment, so if you're in the market for some helpful and resourceful eco-books to read on the beach this summer, here are a few suggestions.
You want to have a fantastic holiday vacation, but your destination shouldn't have to be an expensive one. Here are some budget-friendly holiday spots and some eco-activities you can partake in while you're there to create a memorable time.
December is a joyous time of year, a time to celebrate the successes or put to rest the disappointments of the past year, and to unwind and recharge for the year ahead. It's also when people take to the roads en masse to visit family, go on holiday and get away from it all.
Last month I had the privilege of attending the Mazda Wildlife Fund's Sunset Serenade in the Kruger National Park. The purpose of the event is to raise funds and awareness around anti-rhino poaching.
For those of you who don't know, The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly known as Coachella) is an annual thee-day music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California in the Inland Empire's Coachella Valley.
Warm summer nights are heavenly but they also bring with them the terrors of the night – AKA mosquitos! How do you beat the mozzies without having to use toxic chemicals which are harsh on skin and worse for the environment?
When going on holiday you might want to ensure that you stay at a green hotel, and you're in luck because eco-friendly ones have been on the rise. There are some surprising finds, though, which are perfect for the adventurous eco traveler.
While you're thinking about green holiday destinations and eco-friendly modes of travel, don't forget what's right under your nose: your luggage. How you pack for your getaway can make a huge difference in lowering your carbon footprint.
If you're getting away for a spring fling or much-needed break, sometimes there is no way around having to step onto a plane. But before you do, here are some tips to show you how to fly green.

Turtle textures

The most delicious underwater dream of the clearest, cleanest water, following a turtle as she swam ahead of me.
The light glowed underneath the water, glimmering on rocks and mosses and the legs and shell of the swimming turtle. A dream of such peace and pleasure, suspended weightless in the water.
Image: Tamara Phillips
On my way home this morning, I stopped in at the local turtle hangout, just to savour the dream, even though the water is cloudy and murky, still it glints and ripples and hints at deliciousness for all the critters living in, on, and around it. Turtles sunbathing on rocks. Ducks by the dozens. A lone blue heron perched atop a tall dead tree. Sparrows and robins and cardinals and yellow finches belting out their morning song so loud I can barely hear whatever is crashing around in the bushes on the other side of the pond.I'd spent the night on a friend's couch. We'd been talking into the wee hours about how much of the hokey woo we could each handle. You know, we'd gotten onto the whole Abraham Hicks / Law of Attraction thing, and of course the idea of "channeling" makes my friend recoil, AND, she protested, "the magical thinking". She's a rational, educated, hard working woman whose father is a scientist. I totally understand her reaction – if I actually try to think about channeling, it doesn't speak to anything I understand, really – like what is that exactly?But I'm trying to stay open-minded. Cause I've been finding with some of these things, that if the message is beautiful and can move ideas around in interesting ways, does it matter how it arrives?
Most days I find the Abraham Hicks quotes I get in my inbox engage my mind and attitude in novel ways, however there are some days when it feels like the message of "abundance" is a kind of facile, "Yes, we can all have as many SUV's as we want, you just need to raise your vibration to get your SUV too", to which I have a rather negative reaction. You know, just thinking about the planet and turtles and clean water and things.But I think of my late father-in-law, a highly educated doctor with an anthropological philosphical bent, a Marxist refugee from Papa Doc's Haiti. He would say of all teachers and teachings, "take what you like and leave the rest".
To me it feels like that. So last night I was telling my friend about an interview I heard between Wayne Dyer and Abraham Hicks, where Wayne Dyer talks about how for years and years he'd been angry at his father for abandoning him, cause he'd ended up in a series of foster homes and carried his anger with him until the day he went to visit his father's grave. Abraham Hicks interrupts him and says, "but you chose all of that – you wanted the independence, you didn't want some father figure around all the time, meddling in your affairs".
Now of course, the problem is that you'd have to accept not only channeling, but also reincarnation and a kind of immortal soul that makes choices as it comes into a new lifetimes and a whole cluster of beliefs that may or may not be your thing.And yet…even though I don't really know if I believe in reincarnation and immortal souls, still I'm drawn to the mindset, because the idea that we choose our experiences is so totally liberating. All notions of victimhood are immediately eradicated, as one becomes the prime director of one's experience in this lifetime. It is a sensation of freedom and agency perhaps not so different from the feeling in Nietzsche's phrase, "he who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how". There is a kind of purposeful light that is bestowed by this thought pattern, regardless of the origin or scientific provability of the thought pattern.Lately my most favourite "channeled messages" are the Mayan Messages. Again, it's a "take what you like and leave the rest" kind of relationship – there's a bunch of things in there I can't deal with, like UFO's and stuff that I'm just not ready to think about. But what I love in them is the sense of the planet and the serious political and environmental challenges we face in our time, the need to think about living life simply, consciously, sharing the skills and resources we each have.
In Native American teachings, Turtle is the oldest symbol for planet Earth. It is the personification of goddess energy, and the eternal Mother from which our lives evolve. We are born of the womb of Earth, and to her soil our bodies will return. In honoring the Earth, we are asked by Turtle to be mindful of the cycle of give and take, to give back to the Mother as she has given to us. ~Jamie Sams

Summer Love – The Fool in the Land of Woo
Early in the dark of the morning the air is cool from the night rains. A mourning dove coos softly. The cat plays amongst the wet leaves. Across the courtyard a teenager coming home from the night shift searches for his key for the side door. My coffee steams bitter and dark. I am ridiculously happy.
Ridiculous, you say? Why ridiculous?
Well, externally speaking, in spite of it being summertime, things are not what you'd call great. The other day my accountant hugged me and walked me to her door saying, "you are a very brave woman". I hate it when people tell me I'm brave – it always seems to mean I'm in way over my head. Friends look at me sideways and say, "gosh, you know, you're doing really well considering…"
It's not important or interesting – the story, the details, the particulars. We can just say it's tense – not even terrible or tragic. In my work in documentary, I'm always steeped in stories of such awful luck – a young mother with terminal cancer, a teenage refugee from Sierra Leone trying to survive in a strange land by herself, a man who is discriminated against in his job and takes it to the Human Rights Commission and is held up in court cases, his life in limbo for 17 years…terrible, tragic stories. I see the news lately – not even the stuff about Gaza and the Ukraine, but the stuff about water in Detroit being shut off to a huge part of the population, and the concurrent news about companies discussing the privatization of water, and I wonder how crazy our world really is, and how much crazier it's going to get.
So I'm grateful for a deliciously simple moment on a cool morning when I see it and I am happy – up, buoyant, optimistic, enthusiastic. Happy to be alive. Happy to have a hot cup of coffee. Happy to feel the cool rains after a hot summer day. Happy to see the beauty in so many flowers in bloom -
Happy for a weekend away with horses and nephews -
Happy to have a bike that will roll me down the hill to the beach -
The astrologers say the tough stuff has been all about the Grand Cross, a doozy of a tense aspect, ripping one's life to shreds, but apparently the fact that I've had Jupiter in my sign for the duration has made me upbeat in spite of it all. Ridiculously so. Inappropriately so.
Astrologers and psychics do good business in times of uncertainty and economic downturn, they say.
So maybe partly for that reason, I've been trying to teach myself the Tarot. Who knows, maybe I'll end up living in a tent and wrap a scarf around my head and pretend to be psychic and read cards for a living. And besides, I love the mystery the cards embody, how they seem to speak like dreams, through enigmatic cryptic imagery where you have to feel you way through intuitively to find meanings that slip around like eels if you try to hold on too tight.
And one of the things that's got me thinking they kinda really do work, is that I've noticed how I always get the same cards -
The Tower I've seen a lot of – not a lucky card.
And I never ever get say, The Hierophant or The Emperor or the Queen of Pentacles or Swords – none of the more sober and practical and grounded characters that exist in the deck, no. Not for me.
On the other hand, I do get, again and again, The Fool.

New room
We started shedding STUFF 2 or 3 months before the move.
Books, files, furniture, clothes, dishes, more books, more files, paper, so much paper, a bit more furniture, more and more and more stuff went out onto the sidewalk, into the garbage.
We knew we had to downsize by about 70 percent, that we would have a space so much smaller, so much tighter, that we had to get rid of everything but the essential.
As I sifted through mountains, years of mysteriously irrelevant things, I remembered one of my gurus asking me years ago if I had a lot of stuff. I had to allow as how I did. You must get rid of all this junk, she said, to become a spiritual warrior.
Maybe it was because I didn't identify as a spiritual warrior that I dawdled, did nothing at the time. I identified more as a lost girl, not a warrior.
My son was done getting his things ready in about 3 days. I needed the 3 months.
The first trip out to the new place I made with a girlfriend the middle of May.
As we carried in a few boxes, a child from down the hallway held the doors open for us – a shy and silent angel.
The two of us smudged the space – she had extra-special-super-sacred sage, I had some copal.
It all seemed very auspicious.
The movers did the bulk of the move a bit later in May – my boy has been installed here since then.I lingered at the old place, savouring the relative expansivesness, not ready to face the smallness of our new space.
I realized that our little rented cottage, nestled in a quiet pocket of downtown, had been the longest I'd lived anywhere in my entire life.
10 years. Hard to let go.
Finally, May 31st, I had to be out.
The last ferrying of stuff, a 2-car adventure with friends, brought all the last items from our previous existence into this new place of abode.
This room is our living room / dining room / work space. What was spread over 3 floors and 4 large rooms has all been condensed into this one little burst of chaos.
Still more stuff needs to be shed.
But the process pushes one to discover priorities – the process of being forced to choose, to boil it all down to the essential, is a revelation into what IS the essential.
Turns out a little space to be creative, and the associated paraphernalia, is important to me.
For the last couple of years, I'd been making art in my bedroom, but my new bedroom is perhaps a quarter of the size of my previous room – it is big enough for my bed and a small bookcase. The dresser is in the closet.
No room here for art-making, so the art-making mess has had to move into the one big shared room, right in the middle of everything.Now, one week into this new space, this new life, something feels different.
This letting go of stuff – of 9/10 of my library, of 3/4 of the furniture, of mountains and mountains of miscellaneous junk that I no longer remembered why we had in the first place feels… totally liberating. I feel SO much lighter. Almost as if I've lost weight.
I do miss having a bigger space, having more room to make a mess in, and also the cool of the garden in the evenings and the dark of the sky above.
But there is a patio here, a little bit of garden to work with, some glorious trees in the shared courtyard and the sound of birds in the morning – robins, cardinals, and a large contingent of swallows.
I love swallows.
Fact is, I never would have shed all that stuff without the massive kick in the butt delivered by the need to move.
Now that so much junk is gone, now that we are lighter, now that we are freer, it feels like anything could happen…
Perhaps there's something to that spiritual warrior thing after all…

Working on Art
For a month or two I've been inviting friends over for dinner, wining and dining them into the night, and, when they're relaxed and off-guard, I lure them up to my room, blinking and confused, and force them to sit on the edge of my bed and look at my art.
I've been so hungry for feedback, ravenous after many hours and days and weeks over the winter of experimenting with different forms, jamming around with the photos, the painting, the collages – I need need need to see what people respond to.I'd invited a bunch of people over for a barbeque last night, a little seasonal fair, and as I was tidying and mopping and vacuuming in anticipation of their arrival, it occurred to me – I'd have them hostage for hours, could put art all over the house and see what people might say.It must be some core piece of the need to make art is an element of communication – it's like you're looking for a way to talk about something.
And sometimes it may be a private correspondence with the Universe – like cave artists making shamanic magic on the walls, calling to the spirits of the animals to reveal themselves and where they can be found in abundance.
Or it may be a conversation you are having with a friend in your mind as you do it, a kind of running dialogue that informs what comes out. And then when you talk about this image that has sprung from somewhere, it's part of how you connect as friends – you see more about who they are by what speaks to them.So when Bea said she really loved the alligator – a drawing I'd hesitated to put up, cause it's just a loose rough kind of sketch of a piece – it gave me some sense of a place in Bea that resonates with this not-pretty, not-girly kind of image.
But Tom kept remembering something I hadn't put out, a picture I'd shown them several weeks before when I'd had them on my bed and forced them to look at things, an experiment with drawing and painting on a photo – That one! said Tom. That one was his favourite.
Sometimes taste seems to cut along a shared medium, as in sometimes the painters like the paintings, responding with a visceral part of themselves to texture and colour – Maria, a month ago uttering a low hum when she saw the blues and drips and bumps in this piece – And showing no real interest in the experiments of drawing and painting on photos -
Whereas Nicky, a non-visual artist, an actor / dancer / director, was very drawn to these experiments, and felt the one of the magnolia was the most realized, the most successful integration of photo and paint – And while some people have a more textural inclination, others are more figurative, they don't care for abstraction, they like to always recognize what the image is, to always see a familiar shape.
Sometimes when you're kind of on that edge, a title can help, can indicate a figure to be found and known – so for example, if I were to say this is a butterfly -
Would you believe me?
What's your favourite, Dear Reader?

Spring! Danser, danser…
Maybe a month or two back, a friend told me she'd posted a frog picture I gave her on her fridge in an attempt to invoke spring. It made me think of my frog deity painting thingy, who I see as some kind of Lord of the Marsh, of the wetlands and creeks and bullrushes, and I put him out where I could see him, wishing, waiting for warmer days -
I've signed up for this thing – 100 Days of Happiness – what better thing to take on when your life feels like a tornado has struck.
Simple concept – each day you post a picture of something that made you happy, and hashtag it and all that. For 100 days.
Yesterday I posted this first real green green thing from the back yard – spring finally coming, after so long…
Amazing how the sight of just a little bit of verdant brush can provoke so much happiness. Such a simple pleasure. The winter was so brutal, so cold, so relentless in snow and wind and harsh temperatures, everyone can't help themselves but talk about it, the joy at temperatures creeping just above zero, the warmer winds and rains, the hint of buds on the trees…
Today I wondered what I might post for my happy prompt, when I saw this on Facebook –
Danser, danser…
Too fun. The sense of dramatic choreography to it, how they get all in sync towards the end, but oops! blocking the girl.
And it made me think of all the great African tunes that are so fun to dance to…like check out the snare drum in this –
And then I knew my happy prompt would have to be the new belly-dancing skirt / wrap thingy a friend gave me -
Just a riot to dance with! I don't know how to belly dance, but the jingle-jangle is just hilarious.
And another synchronistic message floats up from Facebook -
Danser, danser…
Okay, wait, wait, just one more spring groove tune to get yer Mayday on –
Happy Beltane!

Dream paraphernalia
Last night I was telling my son about the dream of the house where nothing was what it seemed, everything shifting, slippery, treacherous and untenable.
We stood under the overhead lights in the kitchen, he towering above me as I said I thought it was about the job I quit on Tuesday.
"Oh, but you don't know that", he snapped with annoyance – one of mom's hare-brained, hippie inclinations at work again.
He is a computer science student with a rare flare for mathematics. He is an excellent student, top of his class. I see the pages of his homework, a language of ciphers and glyphs that I will never ever in my life understand even a spec of.
Dreams, however, I know a little bit about – I've spent some time with them."It's not like math, it's an interpretive art", I said to my too-cool-for-school, skeptical son. My son who insists it's not that he doesn't remember his dreams, it's just that he doesn't have them.
On a similar note, a number of the new visitors and commenters here on followyournose have mentioned they rarely remember their dreams.
So I'd like to share a few of the authors and influences I've come across, in case any of it might be helpful to someone.
I was telling Poshpedlar and Agniva how I keep a dream journal, THE single most important tool, I think, if you want to start remembering dreams.It sits open beside my bed with a blank page ready in case I want to scribble in the dark in the middle of the night, and also for the blurry morning fragments, captured first thing, before turning over or getting up, any fleeting whispy images.
A good source for some of these fundamental things to try is dream-master, shaman-teacher Robert Moss – he's got a Tools & Techniques page, very helpful.
Although the dream journal is one key tool, personally I use kind of a bunch…like kind of a lot….like I'm so heavy into the dream thing, it's kinda way out in woo-woo land. In an exchange with jethag at Jet Lag, I allowed as how there may be "dream paraphernalia"…
For example, the dream catcher at the top of the post. Of course.
For example, this silver bowl – It sits on the bedside table with water in it – I refresh the water regularly.
This practice came from Ohki Simine Forest, a fascinating shaman-woman who lives in Chiapas, Mexico, though she's originally Canadian (Québécoise / Mohawk). I got the silver dream bowl practice from her book, Dreaming the Council Ways, a book I loaned out to someone and along the way have forgotten the particulars of the why's of this practice, but I still feel some magic quality, some mystery in the aquatic reflecting vessel by my bedside for facilitating, channelling dreams.
Also beside the bed is this buffalo fetish -
He reminds me of a dream I had some years ago, a dream of a buffalo in a zocalo, a town square, and of how I followed the dream to a place, traveled to try and find and understand the dream, and along the way found him in a shop just off the zocalo of a town that looked an awful lot like the dream.
He reminds me that I'm willing to travel for my dreams, to follow them to the places they show me, to think about what they are trying to tell me.These crystals are quite tiny and special in a way that is so far out in the land of woo I can't even describe it, I'll let you explore for yourself here.
But I love putting one under my pillow each night, as a kind of promise to myself to try and pay attention to any dreams that come.
This little ritual emerged from a fellow student in an online dream workshop, Dreamwork with Toko-pa, a lovely experience. Toko-pa also has some tips for dream recall in a video on youtube – a nice way to get some ideas and introduce you to her fabulously exotic west-coast self.Another favourite thing to do with really strong, vivid dreams when they come, is to draw them or paint them – it's a great way to spend more time with them in a visual, visceral, sensual kind of way.
The lion above was from one striking dream I had, and the panthers below another strong one – Each of these practices is essentially about one thing – I am telling my dreams and myself that I'm listening. That I want to hear from them. That I respect and value what they have to tell me.
Some years ago I took a series of dreams I'd had to an elder, Joanne Longboat, a woman Robert Moss writes about in Dreamways of the Iroquois, referring to her as "Turtle Woman".
She said to me, "They say the Spirits will come talking to those who listen."
So I'm listening…
I'll take you there – musical interlude
Some groovin' tunes for a sunny spring Monday here after the longest winter ever…dance it out, folks!
And happy New Moon / eclipse tonight!
Letters from the alleyway
Lately has been a patch of such intensity, so much pressure in every direction, that each glimmer of tenderness, of humanity, of a hand reaching out in the chaos has felt like a branch that must be held onto tightly in hopes of slowing the relentless slide down a slope.
That dream the other night of a house where everything you touch turns into something else – you pick up the umbrella, it turns into an eel, you grab the doorhandle, it turns into a salamander.
A house of so many tricks and false faces and turns and complications, and in the dream I am trying and trying to leave, to take my son and go live with a man I've met by the seaside, a fisherman, to go and live a simple life, the three of us, if I can just escape this house….
But – But I can't leave.
I can't extract myself.
Yet.A couple of nights before that it had been a childhood home, passing through the kitchen and my mother making dinner and instructing me on how I should go out and do all the right things to get this man, to hook this rich guy already and get myself taken care of, fer chrissakes.
He is waiting for me outside, this guy. A producer I know – bit of a hot shot.
He is just up the street, and is impatient there in his fancy car, a sports convertible – he wants me to hurry up and get in the car.I am annoyed at being hurried.
All I want to do is play in the mud…Weekly Photo Challenge – Letters

Savant's Words in late August 2014
What I know is that BLACK PEOPLE--us brothers included--need to get our acts together --and SOON! It's later than you think. And brothers who are "hating on" sisters, or sisters who are "hating on" brothers, clearly DO NOT have their acts together. I warn you that our very EXISTENCE as a people is at stake. -Savant
Bravo! If there was more self-love, mutual respect between Black women and men, the energies we waste fighting each could be turned to the liberation and advancement of Black PEOPLE as a whole. Have you ever read Frantz Fanon's A DYING COLONIALISM? It's interesting how much energy the French colonizers put into trying to drive a wedge between native men and women. They believed that if they succeeded that would make Algeria easier to control. Same here. The more at odds are Black men and women the weaker is the community as a whole. You don't have to be a genius to see it.

An Omaha banker will be sentenced in June after pleading guilty to six counts of bank fraud.
Federal prosecutors say Michael Breault was vice president and director of Charter West National Bank in Omaha's Elkhorn community when the fraud occurred between March 2005 and September 2009.
Authorities say Breault applied for nearly $600,000 in loans using names of people without their permission by forging signatures.
Prosecutors say Breault used the money for his own benefit.
Breault pleaded guilty on March 28 and could get up to 30 years in prison for each count when he's sentenced on June 11.

TGS : More than 80 Playable Vita Units
