This is a wonderful piece about a wonderful book. "Baghdad to Bombay" presents world history in the context of personal history, reflected in the flavors of wonderful recipes.

When I was young I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time in Pearls' house with her kids. It was always fun to be there and I remember the delicious food that came out of Pearls kitchen. One summer she was roasting cashews smothered in paprika. The smell permeated the house. I can almost taste them now. Even coming to her table as an adult my taste buds are always delighted. The love and creativity, song and art that comes from her home is something to cherish.

Mia Designer Dog Collars are Entirely Adorable
Custom-designed designer dog collars: that's what you'll get from Mia Dog Collars, a premium hand-maker of doggie duds fit for the fussiest doggie debutantes.
The beautiful dog collar we received for Frankie for a review is simply stunning; as you can see from the picture it is sky blue with beads of different blue shades on it. Let me tell you that photographs barely do these gems justice. I call Frankie my fancy-face; now I call just call him Fancy because the stunning designer dog collar matches his eyes! Many people have stopped us on walks and inquired as to where the dog collar came from; we've also been asked at the dog park.
Accented with gemstones, pearls and sparkly crystals, even Swarovski crystals, and available in a variety of stunning colors and patterns, the unique dog collars available from Mia Dog Collars are simply incomparable to what you'll find anywhere else. Retail price online is around $30 to $50 depending on size and amount of detail. All collars, as mentioned earlier, are handcrafted from the finest materials.
The owner of Mia Dog Collars, Bojana, has been creating jewelry at miagems.com for years; she began making dog collar jewelry, if you will, in 2013 after being inspired by the loss of her precious dog Boni.

Potting Bench in my Porch
Just christened my new potting bench this past weekend. I've been collecting ideas for some time and spotted this one at HD store - prebuilt and sturdy. Measures 6' long and about 20" deep on work area and 35" tall. Assembly was fold legs down and rest the shelf in the leg notches.
It was unfinished, so I added a weatherproof semi-transparent stain and a couple coats of satin polyurethane to work surfaces. I was looking for a used single stainless steel sink to add, but came across this big stainless mixing bowl that was perfect for my purposes.
Last additions will be to add a curtain across the front that will hide the storage and a towel bar. Bench, bowl, stain and finishes were about $100.
17" bowl
1st results
Thanks for looking
This is looking great! All you need now is to build one of these garden huts with a little greenhouse attached, and move your bench there, to further your addiction. Your bench certainly beats my arrangement with potting on the lawn with some plastic underneath with all supplies in the garage.
How cool! For $100 bucks total, you have a real winner.
I have a setup using the chaise lounge so I can sit down while working with the larger pots. And I don't have to pick them up high once they are full and watered. I use the dolly to roll them where they shall live.
However, once I get a nice covered shade structure, I plan on hanging out there. It is entirely too hot and uncomfortable to work in the sunshine outdoors from about now until late September.
You know, I hve one of those 17" stainless bowls, had to rescue it from my DH, he does not keep his objects as clean as I keep my tools. And I hate to have paint splattered on my stuff.
About the curtain. You can do the flat seams with a hot melt glue gun, using fabric type glue. It is machine washable and dryable too. I made curtains for my boat years ago that way, cause no sewing machine. They lasted for many years.
Good for you! Admirable solution to a continuing need.
Oh, that is the most beautiful potting shed ever. So organized already. LOVE your new Hosta colored bench!
And those hosta babies certainly look like they're feeling they were well tended on it...
Jealous on the west coast with a wheelbarrow,
Thanks for all the comments. There will be a waist high fridge in the room - so got it covered. The room will be garden theme/colors. My Radius garden spade and fork are going to hang on the wall above the bench - working decor.
Here is a link that might be useful:
hey paul.. i linked this to an idabean post in the perennial forum i think.. probably why you got some recent traffic..
and after doing such.. later it the day.. i thought about the fact that you could have used something like below ...lol .. much bigger than that pretty bowl
Here's an update. Potting bench is working great. A bit more cleanup was completed to fit its multi-purpose. Still a couple of items to clear out. Garden tools hang ready. I drag hose in from deck when I need water for potting.
The frig made the trip to the porch and is stocked (adult and tamer beverages).
Opposite end of room for the non-gardening members of the household. Porch is going to be garden themed and painted a sage green and floors tiled. Not a bad tradeoff for an out of the elements potting shed.
Next week my cookers will get the curtain treatment to keep harmony and stay out of site.
I also store my potted hosta and plants in the porch over winter.

I have heard about revival all my life. Raised in a Pentecostal church, I remember the older people longing for revivals theyŌĆÖd experienced or heard aboutŌĆöbut I didnŌĆÖt see much actual revival happening. The fires that had taken the message of the Holy Spirit around the world and birthed the Pentecostal movement had essentially diminished into a few glowing embers. Although the charismatic movement and the Jesus movement stoked those revival fires once again, itŌĆÖs been 50 years since the charismatic renewal began, and many of those early ministries have dissipated or gone away.
The church and the world need revival more than ever. What the Bible teaches about miracles and healing is still true today. Unfortunately, the term revival has become synonymous with an extended meeting where thereŌĆÖs a lot of excitement and maybe TV coverage by GodTV. After all, whatŌĆÖs left of the famous Brownsville Revival of the 1990s? Or what about the Lakeland Revival that lasted only a few months before evangelist Todd Bentley self-destructed amid a wake of controversy? Is there any revival that is new, fresh, legitimate and lasting?
The answer is yes. The Holy Spirit is still at work and moving powerfully todayŌĆöparticularly in the small town of Redding, Calif., where Bethel Church has been experiencing revival for more than 16 years now.
ThatŌĆÖs why we asked BethelŌĆÖs senior leader, Bill Johnson, to be guest editor of this issue of Ministry Today and to focus on the theme of revival and healing. BillŌĆÖs ministry is as fresh, exciting and void of hype as any IŌĆÖve seen in more than three decades of covering this movement. He avoids publicity because he understands that secular media donŌĆÖt understand such moves of God, and that the hype that comes with being the key figure in a revival often has negative consequences.
So Bill has been ŌĆ£quietlyŌĆØ ministering in his Redding church, just as his father did before him, building a solid church and teaching people to believe God for the supernatural. The result: Every week Bethel members share amazing stories of praying for people in supermarkets or on the street and seeing them healed, delivered and saved. In fact, Bill once said he envisions Redding as a cancer-free zone because everyone will have been healed of cancer!
I live a long way from Redding, but IŌĆÖve made the trek out there twice to see whatŌĆÖs happening, just as thousands of others have. IŌĆÖve read and been deeply moved by some of BillŌĆÖs books, especially When Heaven Invades Earth. And IŌĆÖve heard him minister in conferences IŌĆÖve attended. But what I saw with my own eyes boggled the mind:
- Many of their ancillary ministries, such as Jesus Culture for youth (which we covered last year in Charisma), are sparking significant movements of their own.
- BethelŌĆÖs music is as good as it gets and is influencing the entire church through songs such as ŌĆ£Where You Go IŌĆÖll GoŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Rooftops.ŌĆØ (Many of their worship songs garner millions of YouTube hits.)
- BethelŌĆÖs corporate cultureŌĆöbuilt upon core values such as risk-taking, empowerment, confrontation and honorŌĆönot only reflects its senior leaderŌĆÖs DNA but also a healthy, growing church. For example, Bethel leaders understand the need for healthy confrontation in creating an environment for kingdom success thatŌĆÖs built upon relational trust. When you trust someone, you can confront in honesty without fear of that person walking out the door because there is commitment. And the commitment Bethel staff have in staying true to BillŌĆÖs vision of establishing GodŌĆÖs kingdom ŌĆ£on earth as it is in heavenŌĆØ is nothing short of amazing.
- Bill leads by empowering peopleŌĆöespecially his leadership staffŌĆörather than seeking to control them. HeŌĆÖs learned itŌĆÖs more fruitful to tell people who they are in God and what HeŌĆÖs given them rather than remind them of what they lack.
Over the years IŌĆÖve gotten to know Bill and his wife, Beni. IŌĆÖve found them to be approachable and humble. They donŌĆÖt seem to love money and they arenŌĆÖt in this to become famous. They are examples of godly leaders we need more of in the church. ThatŌĆÖs why I urge you to devour this issue. IŌĆÖve enjoyed reading the articles as they came in and as the Ministry Today team, especially Special Projects Editor Eric Tiansay, worked on them.
My prayer is that youŌĆÖll understand revival and healing better after reading this issue and, as a result, will be hungrier than ever to see God move more in your own ministry.

Rex Begonias- planting outdoors?
HI All,
I was just given a beautiful Rex Begonia that was started from a cutting. Are these houseplants only or can you put them outside when there's no more danger of frost? I've heard they're a beautiful hanging plant, and would like to put it ouside for the warm season. I've never grown these before. Are all Begonias the same, Annuals?
Thanks in advance for your help.
~ Georgia
Well--all begonias aren't the same, and I don't know of any begonias that are annuals. Some are grown as annuals, or as cut flowers more or less, to throw away when people get tired of them or don't know how to grow them for longer periods, but so far as I know none are annuals. As far as growing rexes outdoors, while your conditions are somewhat different from mine I would think you could grow them outside just fine after frost chances are over, as you say; I grow most of mine outdoors. Be sure they're in shade and in a cooler part of the yard--they don't care much for heat. If you're interested in learning about the different kinds of begonias, check out the AMerican Begonia site. Too few of us get to see all the different kinds. They just aren't available most places, and it bothers me that the ones that tend to be most often available are often the ones that are more challenging to grow. I guess a lot of people in the business go by the motto of someone local, who fortunately isn't in the business anymore. He said sell people plants that will die so they'll have to come back for more. I think he went a long ways to convincing a lot of people they had 'black thumbs.'

Look What I Found This Morning
I could hardly believe it when I started looking around this a.m. I have quite a few photos, so I will do two posts, one now and one later. First, Friday morning we were surprised to have a very nice little storm come through, and when it was over, we had 1.5 inches of rain. No doubt it really boosted up all our plants, which is a good thing indeed. We will finish July with 4.23 inches of rain, a real godsend. Going into the hottest and usually driest part of the year, this is wonderful, for now really hot temps are predicted for the rest of the week with no rain. Now, with no further ado, on to the pics. Avedon
Julianna Lynn--this is the last flower, unless we get some more surprise scapes, which has been happening lately. I am not counting on it.
Starstruck--this was a shocker, for I had totally overlooked seeing this one. It's blooming on a proliferation my husband rooted a couple of year ago.
Smoky Mountain Autumn--another one I wasn't paying attention to. This is on a proliferation my husband rooted about three years ago. We didn't think this prolif would take, but this year, it decided it wanted to live, and we are so glad it did. We will probably move it this fall to join its mother.
"Bold Tiger Lookalike" clump shot. This one continually surprises us by popping more scapes. It is definitely a keeper. I am posting a single, double, and triple of this one.
Miss Victoria has really come to life. This one has 13 scapes on it, which you might be able to see in the next picture.
I can see one scape has bloomed out, but there should be 12 more to go.
When I was doing the Miss Victoria pics, I happened to look way down in the foliage and look what I found--a little visitor!
My "Mom's Seedling" has also put up numerous rebloom scapes. We have a huge number of these plants, all grown from proliferations,
"Mom's Seedling" Twins--the sun backlit these this morning.
"Jean's Joyful Noise" looking pretty, and another one putting up more scapes.
There are more, but I must stop and do some other things, so this p.m. I will post the last of the group of photos. Avedon
Glad to hear you've gotten so much rain recently. You still have a lot blooming there. The Bold Tiger Lookalike has really put on a show for you. I remember it from your other posts. "Mom's Seedling" is soft and pretty, and "Jean's Joyful Noise" is also attractive and reminds me of my "Rubber Maid." Did you hybridize the seedlings?
Thank you, Marg and Debra. My "Mom's Seedling" is the only J. Carpenter reject I purchased that lived. I bought it nine or ten years ago, and it's turned out just great. It is very pod fertile and always seems to crank out lots of proliferations. As a result, we probably have about 70 of them in various places around the property. "Jean's Joyful Noise" came up volunteer right next to a group of "Mom's Seedling". I truly believe "Mom's Seedling" is the pod parent, pollen parent unknown. This daylily has many of the qualities of M.S., same general plant habit and it particularly has the ability to produce 2 to 3 proliferations per scape. I think we have 15 "Jean's Joyful Noise" daylilies growing here now, 14 of them from proliferations. My sister is a minister and she sings, so I took the name from the Bible passage-"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord". Seems appropriate for her namesake daylily. Avedon
Beautiful Avedon; I love juLIANNA lynn AND ALSO BOLD TIGER LOOK ALIKE. gorgeous, and I love MOM'S SEEDLING, its gorgsous, so is MISS VICTORIA.Your husband seems to have very good luck with rooting the ptolifs.I have tried at least 6 or 7 of them and dont have one rooted yet.Have one sitting in water right now to see if it will root, but, dont give it much hope. its surprising to me that I have not beeen able to root them, as I have always rooted anything I wanted before. Have rooted dozens and dozens of roses. I have another one out on MARIETTA'S SURPRISE, I plan to try again rwith it when the scape is finished blooming.I am not giving up on it anyway.
Jean, my husband never met a proliferation he didn't want to root and he has a real talent for it, too much so some times. That's why we have so many of Mom's Seedling. He has never started them in water, always in the ground. You have a real talent for rooting roses and we were always just so-so there. Thank for the nice comments on the daylilies.
Mantis, Jean's Joyful Noise does have nice substance. I think it has more light peach coloring to it than shows in the pictures. It's just pure luck that I saw that little frog.
Debra, as I told Jean, my husband loves to root proliferations. I am going to try to get some of those seventy plants moved out so I have the room to spend more money on DLs. LOL.
Kay, appreciate all the kind words, thanks a bunch.
Congratulations on the rain, and on all of your beautiful daylilies.
I have a question for you. I could not find a "Miss Victoria" in the online AHS database, but I do see that it is being sold (as a trademark name) at a few online nurseries. None of the nurseries specify a ploidy, and none of their pictures show polymerous blooms as yours does.
Do you know if 'Miss Victoria' is a dip or tet? How often does it throw polymerous blooms for you? And are the scape and bloom sizes that I see online (22" scape, 4" bloom) correct (is that how it performs in your garden)?
Thanks in advance.
Polymerous, I have spent some time on the computer trying to make sure of the info I have on Miss Victoria. The reason you won't find it on the AHS database is that it's from England, hybridized by the Blooms of Bressingham. They have done a series of "Lady" daylilies, including Miss Victoria and Miss Amelia--which we have--and others like Lady Lucille, Lady Rose, etc. To look these up, search Daylilies By Blooms Of Bressingham. I thought I knew the Blooms were the hybridizers, but I wanted to be sure. Miss Victoria is a diploid, and generally, the scape height and bloom size is correct as you have it listed. I don't know just how often it polys, but today I found a bloom with four petals and three sepals. We received this plant as a bonus from Oakes Daylilies several years ago. They sell some of the Bressingham hybrids. I hope this helps you out.
Maximus and Nancy, "B.T. Lookalike" was a passalong plant that came from Jack Carpenter originally. So far as I know, it is a diploid because I tried crossing it with Mom's Seedling both ways--as pod and as pollen--and nothing took.
Mom's a tet, so naturally I decided B.T Lookalike was a dip. Of course, now I know sometimes these crosses won't take because condition aren't right. Whatever it is, it is doing wonderfully well, and it also produces proliferations. We have four of these plants because of that. Avedon
Thanks, Avedon, for all of your hard work in information-gathering on 'Miss Victoria'! (I tried the plant patent website, and even looked at a different trademark website (since it appeared that 'Miss Victoria' was a trademark name), and I couldn't find any information from those sources. I had no clue where else to look for any data.)
It's too bad that it is a diploid, but I am glad to have the information, and hopefully it will be of value to those hybridizing with diploid polys. (I used to hybridize with the dip polys, but for a number of reasons have been moving over to the tets.)
Thanks again for all of your help!

Lockheed Martin's ADAM (Area Defense Anti-Munitions) High Energy Laser (HEL) system is part of a growing breed of high-energy weapons being developed for the armed forces of the near future. Having previously demonstrated its ability to track, target, and destroy rockets at high speed and at distances of up to 2 km (1.2 miles), the versatility of the ADAM system has been further established by taking aim at waterborne targets, successfully disabling a military-grade boat in a test on May 7 in the Pacific Ocean.

The US military fields some pretty impressive vehicles, but they aren't worth much if they don't fit on the aircraft intended to transport them. Last month, the US Navy removed one obstacle when it cleared the Boeing Phantom Badger combat support vehicle for transport inside a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. After a battery of tests, including form-fit checks, pressure tests and structural evaluations of over four G's, the modular vehicle was a step closer to deployment by the US Marine Corps and US Air Force Special Operations.

Watching President Obama's three-day love-fest toward Israel left critics and even some supporters cringing at his excessive embrace of Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and everything Israel has ever done. But Obama's "game-change" metaphor on Syria may be the most troubling, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Tag Archive for Iran
Obama's Three-Day Smile in Israel
President Obama seems determined to maintain a smile and bonhomie during his three-day trip to Israel, but the optics obscure deeper problems in the U.S.-Israeli relationship as Obama remains under pressure to bend U.S. policies in ways favored by Prime Minister Netanyahu, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar explains.
John Brennan's Heavy Baggage
Exclusive: After a messy confirmation — which asked new questions about drone assassinations and old questions about enhanced interrogations — John Brennan has taken over at CIA. But his past may not be so easily forgotten in a world looking for accountability, writes ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Woodward Blasts Obama on Iran Move
In recent decades, Watergate reporter Bob Woodward has blundered in fawning books on Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and President George W. Bush – and now finds a threat in a routine exchange with a White House official. But overlooked is his war-mongering, says William Boardman.
Ramsey Clark's Long Trek for Justice
There was a time in America when someone like Ramsey Clark could be Attorney General and assert the power of the federal government on the side of civil rights, but that now seems like ancient history, as Clark reflects on the past and present with Dennis J. Bernstein.
'October Surprise' and 'Argo'
Exclusive: Iran's ex-President Bani-Sadr, in criticizing inaccurate history in "Argo," says most Iranian officials wanted a quick end to the 1980 U.S.-Iranian hostage crisis, but Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign struck a deal with Ayatollah Khomeini to delay the hostages' release, reports Robert Parry.
Risky Wishful Thinking on Iran
Even as the Obama administration inches toward a compromise with Iran over its nuclear program, U.S. officials keep up the tough talk to appease Official Washington's hardliners. But wishful thinking about Iran's vulnerabilities could raise the risk of conflict, say Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett.
'Talking Points' for Hagel on Iran
Some neocons hope they softened up new Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel during his bruising confirmation fight. But ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern suggests in these proposed "talking points" that Hagel stick to his principled reputation as someone who tells it like it is, regardless of political pressures.
Again, Seeking War with Iran
Modest but real progress appears to have been made at the latest round of talks on Iran's nuclear program, but that didn't stop congressional war hawks in thrall to the Israel Lobby from seeking more sanctions and proposing a green light for an Israeli attack on Iran, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
Challenging the Neocons on Iran
Despite the Iraq debacle, neocons remain in the driver's seat setting official U.S. attitudes toward Iran, mixing worst-case assumptions with unrelenting hostility. But national security experts Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett have stood up to this neocon-driven conventional wisdom, says Gareth Porter at Inter Press Service.

ATI Radeon X1650PRO Graphics Cards Compared - Final ThoughtsATI Radeon X1650PRO comes in at around $120 USD and offers pretty good performance - we check out a few in this roundup.
Final Thoughts
ATI's Radeon X1650PRO graphics card is a good performer and the ability to simply just buy two and throw them into Crossfire without much effort at all is fantastic and the performance gain varies from around 25% to 40% or so. While buying a couple at the same time and placing them straight into Crossfire won't always be an option for all users, with the ability to simply buy one card now and get a second one at a later date does make it more attractive.
GeCube when it came to performance today was the real stand out card, which was to be expected though with the highest core and memory speed on offer. With that said though, it isn't the cheapest cards on the market like we quite often find with the GeCube cards and with one of the lighter packages, it is a little disappointing in that respect.
PowerColor performance was down again like the X1300XT round up. With the lowest core and memory speed out of the bunch and also the cheapest X1650PRO DDR-3 available, we thought at the beginning we would find it at the bottom of the pack. There isn't a huge difference between the slowest and fastest card but there is a difference none the less.
Sapphire again comes with an overclocked card though not quite as aggressive as what the GeCube card offered. Performance was up there with the top card but it consistently trailed just behind due to the slightly lower core and memory speed. While the Sapphire performance is number two, it clearly has one of the best packages out of the box but this does come at a price.
Lastly we have the HIS offering which we looked at in our Crossfire on a budget article. It has one of the best coolers available out of the bunch but one of the lower clock speeds. It would have been nicer if HIS made better use of the cooler by increasing the core and memory speed up and beyond what GeCube offered. HIS bundle as always is quite good as well, though we have no doubt that people are becoming tired of the same DVD bundle and hopefully HIS will step it up a notch with a new game with new cards like the Radeon X1650XT.
All cards have their pros and cons - GeCube offer the best out of the box performance but with no real bundle, PowerColor while being the slowest is also the cheapest so its good for people who want a DDR-3 X1650PRO but aren't all that concerned about not necessarily having the fastest. Sapphire performance is up there as usual and also has a good little bundle, it is the most expensive though out of the four cards, you will have to see if you can justify the game for those extra hard earned dollars. Finally there is the HIS - it is quiet and priced well but the lower clocks force it to sit down the bottom of the pack when compared to some of the other brands.

Ancestral Wisdom
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, Samhain, or Witch's New Year and Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. This is a time when the veils are the thinnest between ordinary reality and non-ordinary reality of Dream Time. We can take time to connect with the compassionate spirit helpers and our ancestors.
Honoring the ancestors has always been something that moves me very deeply inside. Malidoma Patrice Some, the incredible Dagara healer from West Africa speaks of the ancestors as ALL who have passed over, not only the ones we are related to. In Buddhism we are reminded over and over of our interconnectedness to all beings and are reborn as infinite beings in a multitude of lives. Thus we are interwoven. During my shamanic training, I remember vividly working deeply with the plants and receiving the message, "The dead nourish the living."
Here I share a way to honor our ancestors based on my book, Fire of the Goddess: Nine Paths to Ignite the Sacred Feminine, published by Llewellyn Worldwide.
Calling on Guidance and the Ancestors
Connecting with our ancestors and sending healing is a potent way to reclaim our power and love. Sometimes we are given very clear messages about how we can further honor our ancestors and may feel compelled to research their stories, do a DNA test to find out our ancestry (especially descendants of slavery who often have broken family trees), or collect letters and photographs from the past. This helps give a voice to the stories that are flowing through our blood, connects us to the larger family tree and helps us to see how diverse and interconnected we are.
Create an altar with images and objects of your ancestors: photos, jewelry, clothing and gifts from those who have passed on.
Create sacred space by acknowledging the four cardinal directions as well as the earth and sky. Light a few candles in their honor.
Thank your ancestors for their gifts, stories and joys that they shared with you. Think of all the amazing things they did in their lifetimes: the meals they cooked, the children they raised, the work they did, the gardens they tended, the people they loved. Think back over the stories of their lives and open your heart in gratitude and connection to their lives. Know that in your bones is the DNA that you have inherited from them and that the stories of of their lives have inevitably been passed down to you.
Give an offering on your altar in memory of your ancestors, flowers perhaps, beads or something that reminds you of them. If you have jewelry from your grandmothers or mother, or clothing from your grandfathers or father, you may choose to wear it for one moon (one month), to relate to their power, calling in their wisdom and connecting to your family's ancestry.
As you sit in the candlelight, you may also want to ask for specific guidance from a particular ancestor. I use grandmother below, but you can use any deceased relative.
Concentrate on the breath and intend that you connect with your ancestor. Imagine one of your grandmothers sitting across from you. She is sending you love and light and you can send her back love and light. Feel the exchange between the two of you and spend several moments honoring the healing energy. After several minutes, then form your question that you have clearly in your mind. Ask your question either silently or aloud and visualize her receiving the question. Sit quietly for some time and wait for a response.
When you feel she has answered, perhaps wait a few more moments and ask anything else, either for clarification or a further question. Again, wait and receive the message, writing it down. You may want to also ask her if there is anything you should do to help maintain your connection with your ancestors.
When you are finished, send healing love and gold light to your grandmother. Take some time to generate gratitude in your heart for connecting in with her. Imagine her surrounded by a golden bubble and floating off and away into the universe. She is moving on for now, but you know in your heart that you can access her as needed.
When you have completed your efforts, sit and again thank the ancestors. Close the sacred space and honor each of the elements.
When you go to sleep, intend that you dream your ancestors. Be open to the messages and omens that may appear in the days that follow. When I was writing Fire of the Goddess, I began to have more dreams of my Hungarian grandmother in particular. One dream was especially powerful, as she visited me in glowing light and stressed that she was not dead, but alive and well. She looked radiant and beautiful, sitting atop her hospital bed and I was filled with joy in seeing her again. When I woke up, I looked at the calendar and realized it was April 23rd, the anniversary of my other grandmother's passing! The two were inextricably linked in my own mind from that point on and I use their guidance as needed.
Pink Rainbow, Pink Sky Blessings
This summer I told the story of Mami Wata, feeling the continuous urge to honor the waters, our most vital and irreplaceable resource. I told the story to my daughter, to my niece and nephew, to sisters in Fire of the Goddess ceremony, to friends and my beloved. Each time was beautiful and magical, however the most profound moment was on a small beach in Providence, Rhode Island. We made our flower offerings to the ocean, cried our tears, sang songs and I told the beautiful loving story of Mami Wata. As the ceremony closed the sky turned the most brilliant shade of pink. As the pink sky deepened, a PINK RAINBOW appeared in the sky, as if to illuminate the mysterious, feminine watery wonder of Mami Wata.
Soul Retrieval
In the shamanic perspective, most problems that lead to disharmony or dis-ease are rooted in the soul level. On this level of our being, what prevents us from living a life of power, love and wisdom is usually one of two things: either we are experiencing soul loss or we have something disharmonious in our soul body, or energy field.
Having something that is disharmonious within the energy field is often due to entities such as imprints of earthbound spirits, disease energies and toxic environments. Other disharmonious causes are negative thought forms (from self or others), heavy habitual patterning and karmic influences. These energies are related to us in some way and although they may or may not be negative on their own, they are causing disruption in the energy field. When this occurs, shamanic healing requires an extraction to remove the unwanted energies.
In other cases, when a client is experiencing what is called soul loss, there is a need to find and bring back a piece of the soul that is missing. Soul loss occurs during any traumatic event, or perceived trauma (the event itself may seem minor, but feel traumatic at the time). This can be anything from serious illness, divorce, abuse or issues from childhood, unresolved grief and anger or negative thinking patterns accumulated over long periods of time. During my first experience with a shamanic healing, I received a soul retrieval to help heal from the loss of my first baby daughter.
From a shamanistic perspective, when we experience soul loss, then we need a soul retrieval in order to restore harmony and wellness. Shamanic cultures around the world use soul retrieval methods to journey and recover missing soul pieces and bring them back to their clients. I have found this to be a powerful method to assist in deep healing from the direct experience of non-ordinary reality or Dream Time. With the aid of my compassionate spirit helpers and drumming, I may receive the guidance to perform a soul retrieval for a client, however this is not something one can request necessarily without first consulting the spirit helpers. Sometimes we are not quite ready to receive and integrate this profound healing and must first perform an extraction, water ceremony or other kind of healing to prepare.
Once I have received the message to perform a soul retrieval, I then journey to either the Upper or Lower Worlds with my compassionate spirit helpers. I often find out information about what happened during the time of trauma which can help the client to integrate and heal. When I retrieve the soul piece, I usually perceive the soul as a particular color. These soul colors are aspects of our soul that we are born with or have the potential to work with in this life. Often they carry a deeper meaning as well, a word or energy that the person is needing to integrate back into their lives such as joy, expression, or harmony.
Soul retrieval can have a profound effect on our lives. After my own first retrieval I felt completely different the next day. My original intention for the session was that I was feeling like I had a lot of power, but couldn't fully access it. Although it can take anywhere from six months up to a year to integrate a soul retrieval, I felt an immediate difference the very next day. In the painting, Soul Retrieval and the Bear, I explore the visual imagery I saw during that retrieval as well as the guides who appeared.

Aura Cleanse
Tuning into our aura, or energy field, is an important part of development on the spiritual and healing path. Known as chi in Chinese, prana in Sanskrit, mana in Hawaiian, the universal life energy is the pervasive living quality that permeates our physical, emotional and mental body which comprises our aura or energy field. Our deepest thoughts, emotional stories and inspirations live in the aura often as stored patterns and potentials usually operating from the subconscious until we begin to pay closer attention. In shamanism, cultivating a dialogue between our conscious and subconscious minds is a crucial way to create more clarity and harmony within.
As we start to navigate between our body and energy field, between our conscious and subconscious we may become more aware of a variety of energies, our own as well as others that can have a negative impact on us. Doing an aura cleanse helps to clear away unwanted energies or negative thought forms that might affect us. This is not to imply that negative energies lurk around every corner waiting to pounce on us, however just as we wash our hands to prevent colds, we can also cleanse our aura to prevent disharmonious energies.
When we take time to cleanse our aura, we naturally cultivate more intuition and clarity around our inner landscape. This empowers us to make better decisions about food, work, relationships and pleasure that are more in our harmony with our self, our community and our living planet.
Cleansing the aura is also an effective way to develop contact with the body's energy field and learn what affects the field. Checking in with the aura and performing the cleansing exercise will enables us to see certain patterns. For example, we may notice that we feel drained after spending time in a smoky room, with a person that talks excessively or with someone who is not aware of his/her boundaries. Doing an aura cleanse after one of these encounters will help to revitalize the energy field and is a compassionate way to take care of ourselves with judging or cultivating resentment towards others. Other times, it is important to do an aura cleanse after doing a lot of work, spending time around a lot of people, or visiting a hospital.
One way to help tune into your energy field is to receive an aura reading. Book yours today!
Aura Cleanse Visualization
Sit comfortably in a cross-legged position. Bring your breath and awareness to muladhara (root chakra) located at the perineum just between the genitals and just below the cervix in women. Drop your awareness down into the base of the spine using the exhale. Imagine your breath as an anchor falling down, down into the body, feeling the warmth at the base of your body. Keep the concentration focused on the muladhara for several moments. If possible, visualize the muladhara as a clear red orb, slowly spinning. If you can't see this, simply try to gain a sense of warmth or heaviness sitting at the base of the spine.
Now visualize a cord of light, your grounding cord, like a root extending down into the earth. Imagine, as you reach the center that you are plugging into the energizing core of the earth. Feel the pulse of the planet, the heartbeat of the Mother Earth surging up through your grounding cord, into the base of your being. Spend several minutes in communion with the center of the earth, noticing the color and form your grounding cord takes. If you wish, you can take a few moments to run earth energy up the grounding cord and through your spine and out the crown of the head. This helps to loosen any blocks or stagnancy before doing the full aura cleanse.
After a few moments of running earth energy, visualize or imagine a boundary around your body, a boundary that encompasses your aura. This boundary is usually egg-shaped, like a balloon and sits about one and a half to two feet in front of you, beside you, above you, behind you and below you. Notice any sensations where your aura crosses through and meshes with your body.
Imagine that your aura is a bright color, forming a full sphere, like an eggshell around your body. At first you may simply imagine this boundary, but with time, you will begin to see the actual shape of your own aura. When this is possible, you can then see if you need to push out any of the edges that are too close to your body, or pull in edges that are too far away to make the field smooth. Allow your energy field to talk to you, to show you any parts that need to be smoothed out. Let your mind and/or your hands do the work.
After your field has been straightened, recheck the color. Is it the same as you first visualized or did it shift to another color(s)? What sensations did you feel as you moved and played around with this energy space surrounding your body?
Now, pull in the aura boundary in so it is only an inch away from your body. You are pulling in your field, and squeezing anything out that is dark or muddled. Visualize your aura pushing out the unwanted or excessive energies, allowing them to flow down and out through the grounding cord. Do this for several minutes. If any images, issues or negative words come up during the cleanse, imagine them going down through the grounding cord, taken back to the center of the earth where it will neutralize.
You may or may not see negative or muddled energies flowing out of the aura and body. Maybe there is a sensation of cleansing or simply, the intention to cleanse. To enhance this process, you may use a mantra, or repetitive sound, to intensify the cleansing. You can also use the seed syllable, AUM (often seen spelled as Om but pronounced with an ah—uh—mm sound). You can repeat this sound for several moments aloud or in your head as you cleanse your aura.
After a few moments, pop the aura boundary back to its original place and visualize your energy field filling up with a brilliant color such as white light, brilliant blue or purple or pink. Reshape the field as needed, aiming to visualize the aura about two feet around your body, in the front, back, below, above and alongside. Imagine any bright color swirling and revitalizing your aura and body. Notice the difference in your energy field, how you feel lighter and brighter.
Now, recheck the grounding cord and choose any color for your grounding cord for the day. Then, come back into the awareness of the body. Touch the earth and slowly open your eyes. Write down any experiences you had. Did you see any color or have any sensations before you did the cleanse? Could you see the aura boundary and where it needed to be adjusted around the body? What colors or sensations did you experience once you were cleansed? Continue this exercise each evening to be sure you are re-grounded and cleansed of any energy you make pick up from your day.

Power Animals
What is a power animal?
A power animal is a spirit guide in animal form. Cultures all over the world recognize the assistance of spirit helpers in the form of animals, birds, sea animals, and even mythological beings such as dragons or unicorns. Many indigenous cultures believe that these compassionate helper spirits protect us from harm and we would not even be alive if we did not have them. Although the idea of animal spirits may seem like fantasy, it is important to remember that from the shamanic perspective, there is not necessarily a negative connotation around dreams, imagination or fantasy as we are taught in Western thinking. On the contrary, the realities are simply different from one another. The shaman moves effortlessly between what is called ordinary reality and non-ordinary reality to find messages for healing and transformation. Power animals are guides who reside in non-ordinary reality and can assist us in many ways. For more on the shamanic understanding of reality, see here!
Why is it important to know who our power animals are?
The qualities that power animals carry are a real message and reflection as to where we are in our life path. Even if we don't necessarily connect to a magical animal helper, we can think of this guide as containing certain qualities which can help us on our path. For example, when we dream of a sea turtle, we may think about the qualities that a sea turtle carries: relaxed in ocean currents, ability to live a long time, traveling with one's home on one's back. We might ask ourselves, do we need to protect ourselves with a 'shell?' Are we able to relax in a variety of environments? Do we take time out to spend a few hours sunning on the beach? Even if we think of power animals as only symbolic, there is a potent benefit to inviting them into our lives. This also reminds us of our interconnectedness with life forms on earth and how we are all in this dance together. Children especially love to imagine themselves as a variety of animals and playing with these helpers can open up a wealth of inner gifts.
Working with power animals is a helpful and beautiful way to connect to our inner
wisdom, power and love. There are two primary kinds of power animals: a totem animal, which I define as a lifelong helper and a medicine animal which comes for a shorter amount of time (a few weeks, months or years, as long as it is needed) to assist with a very specific purpose such as healing from a particular ailment, learning a new life lesson, bringing specific abilities. These animals can show up in shamanic journeys, dreams, visions and in everyday life as well.
I have personally experienced many affirmations of the presence of power animal spirit helpers in my life. The first time I ever did a power animal dance, I felt the spirit of the snake move through me, undulating, shedding skins, hissing. The next morning I found a snake skin on the ground, and felt connected to the qualities of snake and shedding skin. During a session along the Puna coast on the Big Island of Hawaii with a very close friend, I was told that she and I share an 'aumakua (Hawaiian word for ancestral spirit animal), the 'io (Hawaiian hawk). The spirit helpers told me, that when I saw the hawk, I would know that this was truth. After we left the session, we were driving not more than five minutes along the coast road when an 'io, hawk, dived straight in front of the car and then perched directly in a tree in front of us. I pulled over and we watched her watching us, piercing and pure. Since then, I have found comfort in both my relationship with my friend as well as our connection to 'io, the hawk. Hawk reminds us to take a broader view on the situation, a higher perspective. 'Io is also traditionally connected to spirit and reminds us to cultivate connections between this world and the spirit world.
How do we find out what our power animal is?
We may receive a power animal during a power animal retrieval in a shamanic session, or experience one in a dream, vision or meditation. Oftentimes, we may feel a kinship with certain animals and energies or may have even contacted a power animal when we were young. Imaginary friends and animals of children are often power animals or spirit helpers. I remember a period in my life when I was very young, I experienced a black panther who lived in my closet. She would emerge at night and pace my room while I lay there completely petrified by her presence. This went on for many months. I'm not sure if I ever told my parents about it, as obviously there was no physical panther in the morning. In shamanic cultures, power often stalks us through dreams, visions and imagination, inviting us to turn and face our fears. When we are able to truly face our fear, it often dissolves and the perceived threat becomes a source of inner power and wisdom. Later in life I was visited by the black panther and she held a great many insights for me, my dreams and ways to work with my clients.
Shamanic sessions often involve power animal retrieval. To book a shamanic session with Katalin, please contact her!
How can we use our power animal?
Once you have received or discovered a power animal, you can journey to it and learn from it, merge with it for healing work, and ask questions about anything in your life. Power animals are deeply compassionate and provide answers that assist your well being as well as others in your life. It is important to remember to honor the power animal and its presence in your life. You can do this by: merging and moving or dancing with your power animal, placing a picture of your animal on your altar, learning to journey and dialogue with your animal.
**Excerpt from Reiki Warrior, forthcoming title by Katalin Koda.
Ancient myths act like a key to unlock our innermost feelings and the myth of Inanna works to uncover our deepest, darkest truths in the form of a classic tale of initiation. From my book, Fire of the Goddess "Initiation is a deep surrender; it is the courage to really give ourselves over to the universe, goddess or larger self. When we are initiated, we are taking the great leap into the unknown; it is a complete letting go." (from Chapter Two: The Initiate, p. 24) Many of us do not experience a formal initiation into womanhood; however, we DO experience initiatory events in our lives in the form of giving birth, losing a beloved friend or family member, experiencing trauma such as divorce or heartbreak.
Full Moon Blessings, Happy New Year
Inspired by the beautiful full moon on the Puna coast, Big Island Hawaii, I honor Green Tara, goddess of compassion and healing. Happy new year to all, welcoming in the green wood horse year. Aloha nui loa!
white darkness
the snow slid slick under spinning tires.
the rubber running over ground,
stretching out the miles in her mind's eye.
he had asked her, 'do you know what falling is like?"
'falling amidst dark stars?"
she only laughed.
he was a poet,
an illusion dreamt in half-waking,
while the white season waited.
Venus faded in the distance,
a mere scintilla on the horizon,
cloaked in Winter's departure.
his car had hummed in the driveway,
awaiting the appearance of violet eyes
and a crooked smile.
'we're supposed to go on a journey,' he said.
she heaved herself into the seat and replied,
'don't you know we're already on one?'
the windshield fogged heavy with the
steam and smoke,
the white darkness blared louder than silence.
he touched her thigh as they cruised, slowly,
down the street,
never, never looking back.

Dissolving Psychic Cords
A man came to see me who simply wanted to receive healing. As I began to work on him, my compassionate Spirit Helpers informed me to focus on his heart center and that his sorrow was related to his mother passing. So I had him visualize the Cord Dissolving Exercise (See Below) and gave him Reiki to assist his heart. He wept deeply after this was over. I had him turn on his side and rest in the fetal position for several minutes and gave him a water blessing. I find this a beautiful way to seal in a healing and is very comforting for the client, especially after such an intense experience. Afterwards he told me his mother indeed has passed away and that the healing was very profound for him. We both felt moved by the work. This was again another reminder that the Spirit Helpers are working primarily from a place of compassion and can assist deeply.
This Cord Dissolving exercise is based on the cord cutting exercise that was originally published in Sacred Path of Reiki: Healing as a Spiritual Discipline. I have found, like the story above, that this can be important with those who have crossed over as well as people who are still alive.
Our energy field is composed of hundreds, perhaps even thousands of cords of light that extend from our body out through the aura. Carlos Castaneda refers to these filaments of light in The Power of Silence, "Human beings are also composed of an incalculable number of the same threadlike energy fields." Cords in our energy field interact with our entire world around us, with the atmosphere, plants, structures and other humans. When we have a deep connection with others, such as relationships with family, friends, intimate partners even co-workers, the cords develop and grow stronger between those people. These cords cross time and space and can stay connected even past death if a spirit has not moved on.
Maintaining healthy, peaceful and loving relationships with others through clear communication is key to keeping the cords as living light. Unfortunately, many of us do not experience this with all of our relations and the cords can become unhealthy, damaged, and even toxic. Often when I am giving a Reiki session, I notice clients have cords between themselves and others that are preventing further healing.
In this practice we dissolve cords temporarily and we know that they can grow back healthfully. This exercise can be done with anyone in our lives. Time and time again, I have found when doing this practice myself or helping others to do it there is often a profound energetic shift between the two people. The second person does not know necessarily that cords have been dissolved but often the negative emotional swirl that is affecting both is literally dropped. This exercise empowers both people to bring back energy to ourselves.
In the shamanic perspective we may have taken on energy from others or either willingly or unwillingly given our own energy to someone else through these cords. Especially in deep connections, we may do this. In shamanism, this is considered giving or receiving a soul fragment from some one else and this doesn't serve us. Others' soul pieces are not useful to our life journey and we become drained when we give them away, instead of full of power and strength. To help with this issue, use the dissolving cords exercise below.
Dissolving Cords Exercise
First, create a meditative space. Then focus on your breath for a few moments, settling your mind and going into a peaceful place free of worries or concerns about the past or future. Then, visualize yourself surrounded in a golden or clear brilliant light, one that protects and energizes. If they cannot visualize it just, have them intend protection and love. You can also visualize with them, surrounded by this clear golden light.
Now, visualize the person you are dissolving cords with coming towards you, also surrounded in the golden, clear light. Once the person is in front of you, then have a dialogue with the person, from the compassionate part of yourself. First listen to what the other person needs to express. Then respond, all within your own mind. Give yourself time to complete this dialogue as there may need to be both sides expressed and listened to more than once each. In this moment, we often begin to resolve a lot of the issue, really communicating with someone from our soul essence. When you are in safe space, illuminated in this way, often the true nature of the connection is revealed and can be deeply healing for both parties.
After the conversation is finished, then notice where the cords are between you and the other person. Notice where they are in the body and how this may have been affecting you and the other. Then imagine dissolving the cord between you and the other person. If you wish you can use a tool, such as imagining a pair of golden scissors cutting away the cord. If you practice Reiki, you can also assist the process by sending Reiki healing. When this is done, then visualize golden light between you and the other, healing the cord dissolution. Finally, visualize the other person floating off and away, into the space, healing and recharging.
When this is over you can assist by giving yourself further Reiki and/or using any of your usual grounding methods. Often my clients experience a sense of relief and spaciousness after this exercise.

Rock Group formed in London in 1964. Developed stage antics …
Poison, a group of four men from the steel town of Pittsburgh, are one of the defining bands of 1980's "hair metal." The glam-influenced hard rock band captured millions of ears with raucous party tunes like "Talk Dirty To Me" … see full wiki
Looks like I am the only one to review this great collection of Poison videos and am happy to do so. I have been a fan of Poisons for many years. The glam band was right up there with Bon Jovi when spandex and big hair was THE in thing.
I happened across this DVD online while looking for something completely different. Since I have been a fan for a long time, I picked it up on a whim. I really enjoy it.
The DVD comes with notes from lead singer Bret Michaels about the making of each video, the stories behind the songs and videos, and gives some insight as to where the band stood as each video was made and aired. If you are a Poison fan, you know there was great turbulence between Bret and guitarist C.C. Deville and, on two of the 17 videos on the DVD, DeVille is replaced by other guitarists, which Bret acknowledges in his notes and at the end of the DVD.
As for the video list, it goes in chronological order from earliest to latest and is as follows:
Cry Tough
I Want Action
Talk Dirty to Me
I Won't Forget You
Nothing But a Good Time
Fallen Angel
Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Your Mama Don't Dance
Unskinny Bop
Ride the Wind
Something to Believe In
Life Goes On
(Flesh and Blood) Sacrifice
So Tell me Why
Until You Suffer Some (Fire and Ice)
Power to the People
Between each video, we get Bret talking about the band members and their personalities and contributions to the band or we get behind the scenes looks at concerts, backstage peeks at the band before and after they had performed and, in an unadvertised segment, the song Poor Boy Blues plays as they pay tribute to the road crew. It's a fun look at the people who worked behind the scenes.
Three videos were never commercially released: So Tell Me Why, Stand (my favorite, complete with a Harlem Choir as back up singers), and Until You Suffer Some (Fire and Ice).
The DVD shows the band literally growing up before your eyes. From a struggling glam band trying to make a name for themselves in Cry Tough to a cocky, successful pop band in Unskinny Bop to the last Poison video made in 2000, featuring noticeably older but still crazy band members and a still very in shape Bret Michaels in Power to the People, we get to see the band transform and grow out of the teased overbleached hair and make up phase, into the more hard edged, cigarette smoking rebels, and then into the more coming of age band.
The early videos are classic old video style with not a lot of technology to them but always an entertaining watch. The later videos, such as Stand have more thought put into them and come off much better. Power to the People shows us that even after 20 years, a ton of fist fights, alcohol and drug problems, a split with the lead guitarist, and more, Poison is still very much a band that respects each other and is still entertaining. They have come a long way since they were "talking dirty" in the backseat of the old man's Ford!
DVD bonuses include All tracks in 5.1 Surround Sound, Complete Album Discography, Information on the Official Poison Website, and more.
It's 85 minutes of blasts from the past that you can't help but get into even if the songs are dated now.
This is a great DVD for any Poison fan. It's like a history of the band in music form and the extra interviews, clips, and on the road footage makes it even more fun to watch.
Great memories of a more carefree time were stirred up when I watched this DVD and I didn't waste my money buying it. I even pop the DVD in now and then and work out as the videos and songs play. I sometimes even get an urge to find my Danskin leotard and leg warmers...but thankfully the band is wearing enough spandex to make me abandon that idea real quick.

Video Occasion: Good for a Rainy Day

Never one to shy away from casting too big, George Clooney is looking at some rather stout names for his next directorial effort.
According to The Wrap, the "Ides of March" helmer wants Jean Dujardin (of "The Artist" fame), Cate Blanchett ("The Good German") and Paul Giamatti ("The Ides of March") to speak words in "The Monuments Men", based on the book fixing on a series of grand heists – the goal being to thieve precious pieces of art – conducted by members of Adolf Hitler's armies.
Though it's not clear who Dujardin might play, the website does have details on whom the rest of the thesps will give life to :
Clooney plays George Stout, a U.S. Army officer and leading art conservationist, who repatriated tens of thousands of pieces of art from the Nazis.
The filmmakers are also understood to be interested in Cate Blanchett for the role of Rose Valland, an art historian and member of the French resistance, and in Paul Giamatti for the role of Lincoln Kirstein, who co-founded the New York City ballet with George Balanchine.
"The Monuments Men" will shoot in Germany, Austria, Paris and England next Spring.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico has breached an international human rights charter by bringing terror charges against two social media users who wrongly reported an armed attack on a local school, a lawyer for the accused said.
