Man has wondered many a time what an animal would say if they could speak. Well I am here to tell you they can speak, we just need to learn how to listen. They speak without words. They speak with actions, grunts, growls, hoots ect. Each sound, every movement, means something specific to them. Deer will flip their tail up as a warning to the other deer around that there is danger present. A wolf pack has pecking orders, and contrary to popular opinion, wolves mate for life. A lesson humans could learn from them. Beavers slam their tails down as warning of danger. Rabbits prior to flight will thump their feet in warning to other of their kind. Even the reptilian family has sounds/actions that can speak if a person knows how to listen. If you are walking through a field, and smell watermelon, and know there is none around, look around. There is a snake close by. He is warning you he is there. A rattlesnake is so named because they will rattle as a warning to something larger than them that they are there. If you will just stand still, dont move, the rattlesnake will go on his way.
As I had mentioned in another thread here some time back, animals can also foretell inclement weather. And tell you what the winter will be like.If you pay attention to fur bearing aniumals throughout the year, you will notice their coat changes. As winter approaches it will get thicker to protect them from the climate. The thicker the coat, the harder, colder the winter will be. The earlier this coat starts getting thicker the earlier the winter weather. This applies mainly to outside, wild animals of course, but domestic pets will do the same a lot of times.
In the following posts I will write information about what we can learn from the animals, and what the animal totems are and what they mean. Most of this info will come from the book "Animal Speak" by Ted Andrews. He is a fantastic author who has written a number of books about the Native American ways, and the shamanic paths. Since this is a group about animals though, I will limit the passages to his animal information books.
Feel free to put in your own comments and any information you might know about what people can learn from animals.
By studying and reading about the animals, birds, fish, reptiles, insects, ect that you encounter in your life, you can understand more about the circumstances you also encounter. You can learn much about the kind of energies you are most likely to confont and those you are most able to manifest within your own day to day life circumstances.
Do you know what your animal totem is? What animal or bird or other creature has always facinated you?When you visit a zoo, what animal do you wish to visit the most or first? What animal(s) do you see most frequently when you are out in nature?Of all the animals in the world, which are you most interested in now?
As you go through life, your animal totems can and may change, or you may add more. I will give descriptions of some of the animal totems, what they mean to us, what their lessons are for us to learn. If you do not see your particular animal mentioned, put it down and I will look it up for you.
Reading animal signs
Nature speaks to us constantly. Through its shapes, colors, textures, smells, and varied expressions of animal life. It communicates to us about the world and our life, if we will listen. The symbolism of nature will vary according to its context, so you must come to know its natural context.
Every animal has distinguishing features, movements, shapes, and colors. Each has its own unique relationship with humans. Some of these relationships will be outlined in the following post entries. If you know some descriptions such as I will be posting, feel free to enter them as well. Knowledge is a shared subject and is learned from passing on.
There are many superstitions about certain animals, and we will discuss them as well. Which ones are based from some fact, and which ones are pure folly. How about the famous superstition of a black cat crossing your path being bad luck? Does anyone know where it originated, or why? And is it just a wive's tale, or based on some fact?
What other superstitions involving animals or creatures do you know about?
So glad you started this thread Delbert. I used to study quite a a bit about Native Americans and animals. Had the Medicine cards and have read Ted Nadrews but have fogotten a lot. The Bear is one of my totem animals so would love to be reminded about that. Had to get rid of most of my books when I moved.
I did want to say for those living with cats - they also have their pecking order and the need to be higher than another... it's quite fascinating.
Since Val has mentioned that one of her totems is the bear, we will start out with the bear.
Keynote:Awakening the power of the unconcious
Cycle of power: Spring and summer
The bear is a powerful symbol and image in both myth and lore. Stories abound of individuals turned into bears, bears into humans, and bears as gods. It has stirred imagination so much that even a constellation was named for it- Ursus Major, The Great Bear. Seven stars of this constellation are probably the most easily recognized in the northern hemisphere. These seven stars form the Big Dipper, and they have links to the seven great rays of light of the Divine.
All bears are astonishingly swift. The black bear and grizzly can reach running speeds of 35 - 40 mph for short distances. All bears including the polar bear can climb. Only the size of the tree will discourage the climbing. Bears are often associated with trees. Nature programs love to photograph bear cubs high up in the trees or adults scratching themselves against them. There are even "bear trees", trees marked with claws as signposts along the well-worn and travelled path of a particular bear.
The tree is a powerful and ancient symbol, just like the bear.It is a natural antenna, linking the Heavens and the Earth. Different trees do have different meanings but in general, it represents knowledge. It is a symbol of fertility, of things that grow.
As bear teaches you to go in and awaken the poterntials inherent, the tree serves as a reminder that we must bring what we awaken out into the world and apply it. anyone with a bear totem should keep the cub in themselves alive and occasionally climb trees - if only to get a clear perspective.for those with the bear as a totem, it is important not to hide away and try to hibernate all year round. You must come out of the den.
The largest of the bears is the Alaskan Brown Bear. A relative of the Grizzly, the Brown Bear is relatively solitary. The Grizzly has long been known for its strength and ferocity. Although it can be quite fierce, it is not naturally aggressive.
By far the most outstanding hunter of the bear family is the Polar Bear. This white bear has no fear. It is the most carnivorous and aggressive of all the bears. It is at the top of the food chain and has no enemy other than humans.
As you notice these descriptions can sometimes get rather long. I have left out a lot on this one, but the full descriptions can be found in Ted Andrew's book Animal Speak. I will probably only do one or two a day of these as they are quite long and take up a lot of room.
Does anyone else have a suggestion for animal totem? Bear in mind that animal totems also include birds, reptiles, insects. Feel free to make suggestions. These descriptions are based on Native American ideology, but other cultures are welcome as well if you know any or happen to run across them.
Thanks Del - appreciate that! Have a great Bear day!
What seems to be one of the more popular totems is the Eagle. I guess it is mainly because of its majestic stature, and regal beauty. Anyway here is its description.
Eagles- Keynote: Illumination of Spirit, Healing, and Creation
Cycle of Power: All seasons and during daylight
The Eagle is one of the greatest and most adfmired birds of prey. It has served as inspiration to many societies. Their ability to soar and hunt amazes and thrills those who are witness. Eagles, in fact, are so good at getting food they spend very little time hunting. The fact that they are good at feeding themselves from the land and still soar to great hieghts in the sky reflects much about the hidden significance of the Eagle who comes as a totem. They will teach balance, of being of the earth but not in it.
There are 59 species of Eagle, and they are often divided into one of four catagories. (1) Fish and sea Eagles, (2) Snake Eagles, (3) Harpy or Giant Forested Eagles, (4) Booted Eagles.
Fish and Sea Eagles obviously are those who live primarily upon a diet from the sea. In the North American Continent, the Bald Eagle is part of this catagory. Those who have a Bald Eagle as a totem need to look at the symbolic associations of water. Water and fish are often symbolic of the psychic aspects of life and the creative energies. Water is also an area that separates land from the heavens. thus reflects an awakening ability to learn to walk between worlds.
Snake Eagles often have a crest of feathers upon their head. Their toes are short and strong to enable them to grasp and hold onto wiggling snakes. Those with a snake eagle as a totem would do well to study about snake totems as well. The snake eagles swallow the snakes whole, reflecting the swallowing and digesting of higher wisdom - the serpent knowledge.
The Harpy Eagles are the largest and most powerful. None of these are found on our continent. They have huge claws that can used for grabbing larger prey, including deer.
The Booted Eagles, in general, usually have a majestic mantle of of feathers on their head and neck, and their legs have a heavy covering of feathers so that they look like they are wearing boots. The feathers of eagles are sacred to the Native Americans, and since the eagle is protected by the United States Government, it is a felony for anyone to possess such who is not of Native American blood.
Both the Bald Eagle and the Golden Eagle have come to symbolize heroic nobility, and divine spirit. These eagles are the messengers from heaven and are the embodiment of the spirit of the sun.For thosewith Eagle totems, new vision will open. This vision will be far reaching to the past, within the present and to the future as well.
In reading one of Jade's petitions, I noticed a "preacher" making a comment about a lion being a symbol of Satan. So I thought I would give the description for a lion today.
keynote: Assertion of the feminine and the power of the female sun.
cycle of power: Year round
The lion has been symbolic of a variety of energies through the years.It is a symbol of the sun and of gold. It was a symbol for the sun-god Mithra. The Egyptians believed that the lion presided over the annual floods of the Nile. Early Christians believed it to be the earthly opponent of the Eagle.
The lion is unusual among members of the cat family in that it will live in groups called prides. If a lion is your totem, you can expect lessons and issues dealing with community and groups to come to the surface. There may be a need to examine your own role in the group.
Within the pride, the females are the best hunters. Although most lions are clumsy hunters by themselves, they have developed an excellent cooperative hunting technique.
The lion does not fight for the sake of fighting. It avoids confrontation and will leave the scene of danger if possible.
Again this is just part of the excerpts from Ted Andrews' book. Typing this I have learned a few things about a lion that I did not know.
Thanks Delbert for posting what a lion is because I am a lion borned in july. I also learned more about lions now, very intresting
Ive found it at last!!
I see you have mentioned that petition about the lion being caged as a sign of SATAN!
Very interesting
Ive really enjoyed reading about each animal.
my totem is tortoises but i think that is because i have a tortoise but before that i think that if i went to the zoo the first one that i would go to would be a tiger??
Can you purchase that book because i really find this fascinating!!
Thanks ever so much Delbert!!!!
Love Jade
just found the book its bout £11.70 on amazon i didnt know if i cud get it in the uk but i can ill be getting it asap!!
Thanks Delbert
Love Jade
Great info - lots to read! and type I know so thank you for the time and effort.
Keynote: Passion, Power, Devotion, and Sensuality
Cycle of Power; Nocturnal- Full Moon and New Moon
Tigers are magnificent and stir a feeling of awe in all who see them. There are a number of varieties of tigers- Bengal, Siberian, ect.-and each should be examined for their own characteristics. All tigers are known for their ferocity and power. They are also excellent swimmers, unlike other large cats.All tigers also display great motherly devotion with their offspring. The mother raises the young and teaches them to hunt. Most tigers are solitary, and come together usually only to mate. They also have immence territories.
Most tigers hunt slowly and silently, a tactic beneficial to learn for those with this totem- regardless of what is being sought. They can be selfish with their kills, and have the power to drag a several hundred pound carcass over a quarter mile, just to hide it.
Tigers are nocturnal hunters. Individuals with this totem will find their most effective work accomplished at night.
The sleek and powerful muscles, and the soft thick coat of the tiger stimulates thoughts of sensuality. All cats stretch languorously and rub up against other cats and objects. For those with this totem, there will ber awakened a new sensuality- a sensitivity to touch.
I am sorry but this book does not have a discription for Tortoise. It only mentions it in passing along with the turtle in as much as it is landbased where a turtle is waterbased. I guess the characteristics would be much the same.
wow apart from the hunting parts i think it reflects me quite well. although with me and hiding my food... i dont hide all food just chocolate no one ges their hands on my chocolate!! he hehehehehee!!
Thanks somuch Delbert, your a very interesting person!!!
Love Jade

Summer Vegetable and Ricotta Pasta
I call this MY DINNER IN A BAG. I park next to the Farmer's market, grab my basket and pick whatever vegetables look good to me. Race home, boil water and 15 minutes later I have a healthy and homemade dinner. You can vary this dish by using whatever vegetables are in season. The creamy and rich homemade cheese all gooey and folded into the pasta is simply heavenly and is a perfect way to end the day.

- 2 cups kale
- 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- ½ cup torn basil leaves
- ¼ cup chopped flat leaf parsley

German Gold Claw Back Causes Concern
Last week the Bundesbank (the German central bank) surprised markets around the world by announcing that it will repatriate a sizable portion of its gold bullion reserves held in France and the United States. To many, the news from the world's second largest holder of gold signaled a growing, if clandestine, mistrust among central banks, possibly fueled by diverging policy goals. The Germans have attempted to tamp down the alarm by highlighting the myriad of logistical, practical and historical reasons that qualified the announcement as unremarkable. But the size, scope, and timing of the move makes it hard not to draw more strategic conclusions.
Coming during a time of supposed central bank cooperation, the decision to withdraw billions of dollars of bullion was bound to raise eyebrows. At present, Germany has official gold holdings of some 3,396 tonnes. 1,500 tonnes resides in New York and 374 tonnes in Paris. Between now and 2020, Germany will repatriate 674 tonnes of gold – 300 from the Fed in New York (valued at $17.9 billion) and the entire 374 tonne allotment from Paris (valued at $22.3 billion). Although financial leaders like Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke have said that gold "is not money" and senior investors like Warren Buffet have described it as "a barbarous relic," the movement of gold nevertheless makes a strong emotional impact. Is such a response justified?
Coming during a time of supposed: central bank cooperation, the decision to withdraw billions of dollars of bullion was bound to raise eyebrows. Although financial leaders like Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke have said that gold "is not money" and senior investors like Warren Buffet have described it as "a barbarous relic," the movement of gold nevertheless makes a strong emotional impact. Is such a response justified?
Following World War II, the threat of a sudden Soviet invasion convinced many Western European nations to diversify their gold holdings: abroad, particularly overseas to the U.S and the UK. Today, Germany holds only 31 percent of its gold within the Bundesbank. Of the remainder, 45 percent is held at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, 11 percent with the Banque de France in Paris, and 13 percent with the Bank of England in London. But now that the Russian military threat has dissipated, the Germans have rightly reevaluated its dispositions.
For decades, central banks have been secretive about their gold holdings. Despite this, few doubt the published aggregate gold holdings of central banks. But serious questions arise as to the precise ownership of the gold held in the vaults of central banks and some commercial banks. To the astonishment of many German citizens and international observers, the Bundesbank admitted some years ago that it had not held an audit of its gold holdings for decades, if ever. (See my prior commentary: on this subject)
The developed nations of the world have adopted a form of Keynesian economics that has created a world awash with debased fiat currency supported by seemingly unsupportable mountains of official debt. In such a world, it is understandable that German citizens feel their nation's gold should be held at home. Such sentiment could spread. Holland's CDA Party already has asked that their nation's 612 tonnes, or metric tons, of gold be repatriated from the U.S., the UK and from Canada.
Some question whether such sentiments will spread and expose even a shortage of physical gold in hitherto trusted vaults. In addition, in a world where trust in central banks is waning fast, central banks themselves may become mistrusting of each other.
At the same time, central banks in the developing world, particularly in China and Southeast Asia, are accumulating gold, as are nations like Russia, Turkey and Ukraine. China is now the world's: largest producer of gold worldwide, but she retains her production and even buys more on the open market. This has occurred even while no major central banks are selling significant amounts of gold. The Bank of England's disastrous selling campaign in the early years of the current century, in which it sold hundreds of tons below $300 per ounce, is no doubt a controlling factor.
The unwillingness of central banks to part with their hoarding of gold, highlighted by Germany's repatriation, contrasts starkly with the central bank policies of the 1970s and 1980s, when concerted efforts were made to de-monetize gold, which could only be done through active selling. Does this change reflect a growing and shared distrust of fiat currency by sophisticated private investors who hoard gold?
The repatriation of even a part of Germany's central bank gold holdings, especially if followed by other nations such as Holland, should be regarded with concern. Today, no central bank would dare to risk rocking the central banking boat. But as the Keynesian economies have slid towards financial disaster, any increase in central bank gold repatriation could indicate a real fear by the great insiders – central banks.
A particularly interesting aspect of the announcement that has been largely ignored is the extraordinarily lengthy seven year time period in which the Germans expect to receive back their gold. The 300 tons they're repatriating from the New York Fed reflects just five percent of the more than 6,700 tons held there. It strikes many as unusual that the Fed would need so much time to deliver what should be a manageable withdrawal.

I have been reading a lot on various postings and in books that low BBT can indicate a thyroid problem. How low is too low? Before O my temps are consistently 96.8-97.2, then jump up to 87.6-97.8 after O. I have only gotten to 98.0 2-3 times in 5 months of charting. I have an appt with my MD on Monday to talk about having my progesterone tested because my LP is only 9 days and I want to bring this up as well. I am not sure how open to testing it she will be so I want to have all my facts straight going into it. We are in our 7th month of trying and based on my charts I think something is up, I just want to know what. I would love any advice/input people have!
I am 29, married to DH for 2 years with 2 crazy pups and, after what feels like a huge wait (shorter than many, longer than wanted!), we are expecting our first little one April 2013.
I'm no doctor and don't have personal experience with hypothyroidism, but I don't think there is any specific cut off for what would be considered hypothyroidism. I think that pre-O temps in the high 96's and LP temps in the high 97's is normal for a lot of women. But I also think that you're right to look into it just in case! With your short LP, it's likely you're dealing with low progesterone and dealing with that might bring all your temps up a bit.
It has been my experience that often you need to be firm with care providers and simply tell them what you want to do. Politely, but firmly you could say, "we have been TTC for ___ months now and through charting my fertile signs I've noticed a couple of things... ________ and ________ and I would like _______ and _______ tested." Push for 7dpo progesterone testing as well- not just CD3.
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
I have hypothyroidism and my pre-O temps are in the low to mid 96's and my highs are in the mid 97s.
On another board, thanks to a person named metalchevy, she posted a list of tests to have done. I am looking into have more of these done, although I have only had Free T4 and TSH test. I had the TSH test many times before and told I was "normal" but when they tested the free T4, the doctor actually used both my symptoms and that testing value to diagnose hypothyroidism. My dentist, a few weeks later, agreed with the diagnosis and said my scalloped tongue, thin weak fingernails, and eye brows that are thin in the outer third agree with the hypothyroid diagnosis. Check out this page for some more information: http://www.21centurymed.com/?page_id=12
Determining hypothyroid is an art and a science. If you have other symptoms of hypothyroid like listed in the web page above, keep working with a doctor until you find the right fix for you. What works for one hypothyroid person doesn't work for all since our bodies all behave differently.
So onto the tests. Thanks to a person named metalchevy on another forum who said first test,
Free T4 (very, very important it is free not total. Total = useless)
Free T3 (ideally) or Total T3 (acceptable)
If you haven't had them before:
Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)
Thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb)
The two above will tell you whether you are dealing with autoimmune hypothyroid (Hashi's) or not. I think its good to get that DX because it can help you down the road to fight for better/more frequent retests and care. At least that has been my experience. There are also some studies out there that suggest a high TPOAb may correlate to increased m/c (even more than the just general all around increase in m/c risk we all have as Hashi's gals).
Another test that isn't absolutely necessary, but could also be considered:
Reverse T3 (done when Free T3 taken)
This test can reveal whether you have conversion issues. T4 and T3 are the actual active thyroid hormones that impact how we feel. We get 80% of our T3 by the conversion of T4 to T3, which happens when the T4 drops an iodine atom to become T3. T3 is much more potent than T4. Sooo... if you body is handling this conversion process appropriately, your still gonna feel bad and suffer the ill effects of hypothyroidism even if your TSH and Free T4 are "normal."
Other biggies I would HIGHLY recommend:
Vit D3
Vit B12
Ferritin, TIBC, Serum Iron
Complete metabolic panel (magnesium, potassium, etc.)
I recommend the above because most of us have serious absorption issues that cause us to be insufficient in many of the things listed above. I felt 1,000 times better when I got on Synthroid, but that list little bit of true healing only kicked in when we found out how deficient I was in Vit D and B12 and started supplementing both with simple OTC vitamins.
End of quote from other forum
Crafty Geeky lady (37, hypothyroid) married 7/2010 love of my life (42, azoospermia). I believe in MIRACLES! Twin boys born 12/21/13 at 40 weeks 2 days! 3/52 crafts in 2014 Ramsey's BS1: Done! 2/17/12 BS 2 goal: 6/7/17 no sperm initial DX 3/23/12 BFP 4/7/13!
Thanks for the info. For now we are going to test thyroid, progesterone, and a fasting glucose and insulin. we will see what those show and go from there, but I am hopeful we will get things figured out!
I am 29, married to DH for 2 years with 2 crazy pups and, after what feels like a huge wait (shorter than many, longer than wanted!), we are expecting our first little one April 2013.

Travis One,
We should explain the kitty thing for all the FF's out there who aren't sure about the reference....
Here is my version: the first evening around the campfire, somebody was talking about dairy farming.....even suggesting that dairy cows drink 250 gallons of water a day to produce daily amounts of milk. That, to me, sounded like an impossibility...my attention to their conversation was minimal at that moment as I was probably in deep thought about "Geez, I shoulda brought a chair....".
But, sometimes I am a bit hard of hearing and I joined the conversation by saying "What's that?", as my attempt to catch up with the conversation.
Well, that was all it took for these guys with razor-sharp wits to find an opening to continue their merciless testing of my character, patience, sense of humour, and lag time between a wise-crack and my right hook
"Milk !!!", someone piped up. "Don't you have cows in Canada? What do you do for milk? Oh, you guys milk cats up there, huh?" The rest of the group, not to be outdone by another, piled on the jokes and before a dozen efforts to ramp up their pleasure of just how fukkin clever each one of them was, they ended up deciding that I was a kitty-milker (sometimes blended with me being a cougar-milker (double-entendres appearing to be part of their verbal arsenal
Not only that, they piled onto the falsehood that I had an accent different from theirs....(their only sense of Canada seemed to be Bob and Doug McKenzie, references to 24's (of beer), and pretending to pronounce words like "about" as "aboot"....which is likely only true of east coast Canucks...
I think the kitty milker thing was their reference to movie The Fokkers, but I only figured that out when when I got back home to the frozen north and cranked up the hand-generator to power up Google to research this query....
Yep, they put the boots to me....but in my style of gracious calm and understanding of the human condition (i.e If you look at the bell curve of the population's IQ's, it becomes apparent that at least 35% of the population is chronically stupid at any one point in time...
.... so I just looked around this group of 7 other guys and figured at least 2 of them were likely on the left-hand side of that bell curve....). I didn't react with much more than an agreeable smile ....didn't want to alienate myself with a bunch of foreigners on their home turf with one of my usual acerbic witticisms...they could let the chupacabras kill me when sleeping, only to leave my corpse in the desert for the coyotes and vultures...
Yes, Canada has cows for milk, we DO have electricity (which we export to the States for big $$$$), and telephone systems will start to be installed in three years from now in some provinces...most Canadians have moved out of their igloos for the comfort of wall tents, and some creative folks have started to build houses out of logs.
And about the Canadian idiosyncrasy of sometimes saying "eh!" at the end of a sentence.....yeah, we do that.
BUT, what's with the American tendency to respond to a "Thank You" with "Uh Huh" instead of "You're welcome" ?
I suppose it's because they are not used to someone saying "Thank You"....and offer a gutteral grunt as their best response...
Just to clear up any confusion...
I think they were all waiting for Kevin's diagnosis of me....he was the Trail Boss and they wouldn't dare mess with him....I was disposable.....

My husband thought it was maybe just a digital one, but they ordered both digital and paper for me... I race out to the mailbox every day and get disappointed. Anyone else have trouble getting their subscription?

Watch "Oregon Field Guide" episode.
"Thin Ice: Exploring Mount Hood" by Amelia Templeton and Ed Jahn.
Highlighted against a brilliant blue sky, the white-cloaked flanks of Mount Hood provide a dazzling spectacle.
A local mountaineer recently saw that ice from an even more spectacular perspective: underneath the glacier.
Jared Smith helped out when a public broadcasting crew recently documented a team of climbers who are exploring glacier caves.
"It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life," said Smith, a member of the Yacolt-based Volcano Rescue Team.
"It's definitely one of the most beautiful and dangerous places in North America," Smith said. "They go together."
That's because the ice caves are created by the gradual deterioration of the Sandy Glacier, on the northwest face of Mount Hood.
"There was continuous ice fall and rock fall through the day," Smith said.
The caves, and the people who are exploring them, were the focus when "Oregon Field Guide" opened the 25th season of its weekly outdoors show earlier this month.
Cave explorers Brent McGregor and Eddy Cartaya have been mapping and exploring the Snow Dragon glacier cave system since 2011, according to OPB's website.
Cracks and openings called moulins can carry melted water down into the ice. When glacial ice thins, the cracks can become year-round tunnels.
Witnessing the erosion
In addition to mapping more than a mile of the cave system, McGregor and Cartaya have been documenting the gradual erosion of the glacier's interior. Another member of the team is Kara Mickaelson; she is Smith's aunt, and was just one of his links to the project.
"Brent McGregor is a friend of mine," Smith said. "When they first went into the cave, they had been talking about it with me."
When Oregon Public Broadcasting went to work on the episode, there was a place for Smith in the production.
"I've been mountaineering for 20 years; I've ice-climbed all over the United States," the 35-year-old Woodland High School graduate said. "I'm a mountaineering guide on Mount St. Helens."
And as a member of the Volcano Rescue Team, a volunteer group affiliated with the North Country Emergency Medical Service, Smith has plenty of rescue experience.
"They had filming coming up and asked if I could do ropes and anchors, and be there in case of an emergency," Smith said.
Smith said he made three trips to the glacier in July for the production. He got a chance to see some new chambers in the system, which features three distinct caves: Snow Dragon, Pure Imagination and Frozen Minotaur.
Under 150 feet of ice
At some points, the explorers were 150 feet below the glacier's surface -- not Smith's usual outdoor setting.
"It's intimidating being under a glacier, as a mountaineer. You can feel the weight. If anything were to collapse, it would be catastrophic," Smith said.
Smith can be seen in the background in a couple of scenes, he said.
"It was about Brent and Eddy and Kara," he said. "I was privileged to be a part of it."
Although the filming is done, Smith said he will continue to help his friends on their project.
"I'll continue to help measure the caves until they are gone," Smith said.

A Visit Inside Turkey's Islamist IHH
A journalist's trip to the headquarters of the extremist group that sponsored the Mavi Marmara.
12:00 AM, Jun 21, 2010 • By CLAIRE BERLINSKI
Dağ holds a degree in journalism and a doctorate in international relations from Marmara University. While he preferred to answer my questions in Turkish, his English was excellent. He is obviously conversant with the principles of media relations: Never get angry, don't be defensive, stick to the talking points, feed the journalists a decent meal. The IHH website is extremely slick and professional, translated into flawless English, French, German, Russian, and Arabic. Only a handful of Turkish corporations have anything like this kind of sophisticated media outreach. This is also characteristic of the AKP, whose media outreach and campaign tactics are vastly more sophisticated—and Westernized—than those of rival parties in Turkey. Indeed, an American political pollster who lives here and works throughout the Middle East and former Soviet Union once remarked to me that she found it hard to believe the AKP was not being advised by top-flight U.S. election consultants. It was the small, professional details, she said, like the way the AKP, and only the AKP, brought plenty of garbage cans to their rallies. (She then dismissed this hypothesis, though, on the grounds that there is no such thing as an American political consultant who can resist bragging about his success.)
The IHH, I too would guess, has been advised by Western media strategists—this look and feel does not happen spontaneously in Turkey—but if pressed they will admit they haven't much use for the Western political perspective. When I remark to Dağ that the IHH is believed to be a front organization for the Islamist financing of terrorist groups, he does not precisely say what you might expect your standard Western humanitarian aid organization to say (nor does he deny the claim). "If you're looking through the glasses of the West," he says blithely, "and you think those people who struggle for independence against Serbia, in Afghanistan during the Russian invasion, in Iraq against the American invasion, Palestinians against Israel, then you can look at it that way, but we don't consider them terrorist groups."
They do not consider Hamas a terrorist group, either—it's a political party, they say—and to speak to them is sense that the events that led to the imposition of the blockade, to wit, the launching from Gaza into sovereign Israeli territory of nearly 10,000 rockets, are in their view trivial. While they don't approve of suicide bombings, adds Dağ, "given the situation the Palestinians are in, we see it as a normal, natural result of the situation imposed on them by Israel."
Zionism, affirms Dağ, is racism. "The United Nations has accepted this," he adds, "so we don't have the luxury of rejecting this." The state of Israel, he allows, "can exist," given that this seems to be the consensus in Ramallah. "I go along with that. Whatever the Palestinian people want and have decided, I go along with that." But when I mention the Hamas Charter, which calls for the destruction of Israel—and note that Hamas, too, claims to speak for the Palestinian people—his reply is only that "different groups can think differently, Islamic Jihad can think differently." This group of free thinkers, as I assume he well knows, is completely in control of Gaza. I can't see how any reasonable person could spend a day at this place and conclude that Israel had no good reason to insist upon inspecting the cargo of a ship laden by the IHH and bound for Gaza. It would have been madness—or at least insanely negligent—to have permitted it to arrive without scrutiny.
The IHH does not explicitly say that it is their policy to hide behind human shields, but they don't much try to conceal it, either. Dağ's explanation of this at least has some comic value. "Everybody from American clergy to European politicians were trying to break that blockade," he said. "The people that are risking their lives to bring aid to these people, would they be doing it to aid Hamas?"
I interrupted him. "That means you knew they were risking their lives?"
"They knew they were going into a risky area–"
"So why were you sending women and children into that situation?" I ask.
"They were volunteers, we're not pulling anybody—"
"How can a one-year-old child be a volunteer?"
"We announced the campaign around the world, and thousands of people applied, and they did go through a selection process."
"And how did you decide a one-year-old child would be an appropriate candidate to send through an Israeli military blockade?"
"That kid was the boat captain's son, the second captain's son, from the crew."
"And that was the reason you put him into this situation?"
"He brought all his family with him. Normally it's illegal to bring along your family, if you're the captain, but what he did was put them on the passenger list, and that way they got on the boat, because they were on the passenger list."
"And no one said, 'This is a dangerous operation, we're about to run a blockade, an Israeli-Egyptian blockade, about to do something that's a military provocation, perhaps we shouldn't bring the kids along?'"
"We announced we were going to break this blockade, this blockade that's against international law, and we set some health and legal criteria, and those people that fit the criteria got on the boat."
"If you wanted to break a military blockade, why didn't you leave the job to the military of the elected government of Turkey, instead of doing it yourself with civilian human shields?"
"It's not a matter between Israel and Turkey, this was a human mission to break the blockade."
No one we speak to denies that the Mavi Marmara passengers attacked the commandoes with everything they had on hand. They only offer the justification that this was perfectly normal: "Imagine that you were sitting at home, in your living rooms, and people that you don't know come into your house with guns and weapons," Dağ explains. (Israelis who were literally attacked in their homes by Hamas rockets were, in the view of one passenger, just whining about a bunch of "flying garbage cans" that would only kill you if they hit you directly in the head.)
"They tried to board on the side," explains Greek citizen Dmitri Plionis, who was on the Mavi Marmara, "but they couldn't, because people were throwing things to them, you know, chairs, and things like that." He mentions the passengers' use of sticks, slingshots, and water cannons. They had no guns, he insists, which he seemed to think an essential point. I'm not sure why. Dual-use objects deployed with malice can be perfectly lethal enough, as the 9/11 hijackers illustrated.
Notable are the European passengers' indifference to two things: the foreign policies of their elected governments and any political issue in the world, save Gaza. "We took upon ourselves the responsibility our governments didn't take," says the former Israeli and now Swedish citizen Dror Feiler. "We have succeeded in making Sarkozy, and Berlusconi, and Ashdown, England, everyone, even Obama yesterday evening, to say the siege in Gaza cannot continue. The people have spoken. The people don't have to wait for the next election."
When I ask whether they have considered the consequences of their actions for the region as a whole, they shrug. "We know politics everywhere," said Plionis. We read newspapers everywhere. We're not morons. But we don't care. It's not our field."
"So you are singly preoccupied with Gaza?" I ask.
Comments like this may be taken as evidence that the activists are not anti-Israel, but anti-Semitic, given that they single out the Jewish state for unique and disproportionate criticism. The evidence is unnecessary. It should be enough that they single out Israel for unique and disproportionate criticism, whether or not they are motivated by something recognizably or traditionally anti-Semitic. It is no great thing to be motivated by fashion, illogic, or zealotry, either, especially if it leads you to the conclusion that running a military blockade with a ship full of civilians in the world's most volatile conflict zone would be an excellent idea.
You do not need to exaggerate the malice of this group to recognize that it is bent on lighting matches in a tinderbox. Nor do you need to judge them as terrorists and anti-Semites to be alarmed. What they are—in their own words—should be more than enough for the West to get worried.

For someone who had us drooling all summer long at images of her in a tight, black leather catsuit, Anne HathawayĀsure seemed to vanish for a while. She had a big year, starring in one of the most anticipated movies of all time, and earning an Oscar with her outstanding performance in LESĀMISERABLES.ĀRegardless, sheĀtook a pretty decent-sized vacation from the hottieverse right after taking off with that gold statue. That is until earlier this week, when she appeared at the MET gala wearing this wonderful booby dress (that's what they call it in the fashion industry, right?). This is our second offering of what Anne looks like when she's lethally blonde, and I have to say, I kinda dig it, even with the short hair. Miley is a different story for me, as it's a little more punk/butchy on her, but Anne makes it look elegant and sexy. Am I wrong? Has all that paint-huffing f*cked me up in the head? Please tell me!

Why do some shellfish turn red when cooked?
• Certain shellfish, such as lobsters, turn red when cooked because they are red to begin with – we just can't see it. In life, the red pigmentation in their shell, created by the presence of astaxanthin, is combined with a range of proteins and other pigments to produce the dull camouflage colours that enable the crustacean to blend in with its environment.
When you boil a lobster, or a prawn or shrimp, proteins in the shell denature and unwind, releasing their attached pigments, but while the others break down at high temperatures, astaxanthin retains its stability and reflects light at the red end of the spectrum. This may seem ironic, given that astaxanthin belongs to the class of carotenoids known as the xanthophylls, which literally means "yellow leaves". Astaxanthin provides not only the colour for cooked crustaceans but also ...

With investors pumping money into online art sites, Julia Halperin asks, "[C]an a cultural sector that typically relies on exclusivity, personal contact, and (often) opacity make an effective transition to the web?" Then there's the monetization question.

Drop rapidly from a teaspoon on to aluminium foil or lightly buttered baking sheet to form patties. (If the candy becomes too stiff to handle, stir in a few drops of hot water.) Let stand until cool and set. Makes about 44 small pralines.

Harley's taking me for a ride!!Posted by: Sassie
Category: Behavior Problems
Posted on: April 09, 2003 at 00:06:48
My "Harley" is doing things I just can't comprehend... He's going to be a year in May, and although I haven't had any trouble before, he is driving me crazy. We own a large ranch with lots of exotic animals, and he has developed a habit of chasing the Llamas, I know hunting is inbred, but how do you teach what is ok and not ok to hunt? 2nd Question-- He's developed a habit of chewing-- EVERYTHING, from shoes to table legs, to underwear!! He even brings stuff from outside (sticks, etc.). He has been punished but continues to do these things, even when we are in the SAME room. He has plenty of room to run, and gets lots of mental and physical activities, and loads of love, so I just don't understand.
Someone please help!!
Thanks in advance,

The Washington Wizards added free agent Eric Maynor on Wednesday and re-signed Garrett Temple for backcourt depth behind John Wall and Bradley Beal. Maynor played 64 games with Oklahoma City and Portland last season, averaging 4.5 points and 2.8 assists. ''He will bring stability and experience in that role and add leadership and character off the floor,'' Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said. Maynor said he was impressed by the Wizards' play with a healthy Wall. ''Just knowing that we got a bunch of young guys, talented,'' he said. Signed originally by the Wizards on Christmas out of the NBA Developmental League, Temple averaged 5.1 points and 2.3 assists in 51 games last season, including 36 starts. ''His defensive ability, toughness and team-first attitude make him an excellent fit in our system,'' Grunfeld said. Temple, who spent time with five NBA teams before joining the Wizards, signed a one-year deal for the veteran minimum - the first guaranteed contract for the 27-...

SYLVANIA, Ohio, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Pregnancy: Typically, it is an event in a woman's life that calls for happiness. There is great joy in anticipating the arrival of a new baby into the world, and it is usually an uneventful experience, especially in the Western world. When problems do happen to arise, help is readily available.
But this view of pregnancy stands in stark contrast to many of the experiences in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa, where pregnancy is a source of great pain and suffering for the vast majority of women. Dr. Benjamin Ogbonna reveals the truth about a situation where 1 in 16 women die from complications of pregnancy in his new book, "Pregnancy: A continuing source of sorrow and pain for women in Sub-Saharan Africa" (published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com).
Drawing upon his experiences with the subject on three continents - Africa, Europe and Asia - Dr. Ogbonna, brings maternal deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa to the front burner, sparing no detail. Written with the general public in mind, "Pregnancy" uses as little medical terminology as possible due to the importance of reaching a wide audience.
"It should make an interesting reading for people in the western world to enable them to full appreciate what is happening in other places," Dr. Ogbonna writes. "For people in Sub-Saharan Africa, it is a book that is intended to rouse them from their protracted slumber to enable them to appreciate that there is a problem that needs urgent attention."
Dr. Ogbonna discusses the various causes of maternal deaths and
possible solutions to the serious problem. He seeks not only to educate the
women in the region about the reasons why many of them die in pregnancy and
how to avoid such deaths, but also the region's elected leaders. The book
acknowledges the efforts of charitable organizations around the world who
have been actively involved in reducing

Respond to Review of Brac Libreria di Arte Contemporanea
by leneke
Review: Superb vegetarian restaurant, hidden nearby Sante Croche. We went there 3 times during our 8 day trip. You pay 12 EUR for a mixed platter. You can then taste a 'small' portion of 3 dishes: a salad, a rice dish and a kind of tortilla dish. The flavours are excellent. Fresh ingredients, good wine, friendly staff, nice atmosphere,... Large portions. My non-veggie friends were also impressed and enjoyed the food very much. Go early or make a reservation.

Landscape Lenses
Cultural Landscape
The cultural landscape of Vermont is a rich text waiting to be read. It has deep layers of meaning and many stories to tell, but most people need to be taught how to read it. If you want to understand the human side of the Vermont landscape, the first thing you'll have to do is to learn to look at it in a different way. You'll need to learn to stop and really see all the human features in the landscape, even the most ordinary and easily overlooked objects, whether it's a telephone pole or woods road or an old brick house, and the one-of-a-kind features, whether it's a Native American pictograph or a grand hotel or a three-story round barn. All of these human structures and objects are there for a reason. Reading the cultural landscape means having a clear vision of the human features that are really there and understanding why they are there.
The cultural landscape can be thought of as being created in layers during the distinct eras of human prehistory and history in Vermont. In learning to read the landscape, you'll need to learn to see the layers. Here's an example of how you might approach a common rural Vermont landscape, research it step by step, and learn how to read it and its layers of meaning.
Human use of the Vermont landscape reaches back 11,000 years, and each of the layers of human use can be looked at one at a time. To understand the prehistoric human layers of the landscape, you need to look mostly underground, and look at archeological excavations to see how early humans used the landscape. Most of the human features in the Vermont today, however, are from the landscapes created in historic times by the European settlers of the last 200 years.
In the end, the everyday features around us teach us that our social biography gets woven into the physical fabric of our surroundings. If we choose to, we can learn to look beneath the surface of the landscape we travel through and see the evolution of our cultural and natural history. The stories that people have written into the landscape are amazing and revealing, and waiting to be read and understood.
