Dudley Kane and Darach Ó'Cathain were the same person. Darach Ó'Cathain was—in the early 60s—an influential folk singer with a growing reputation in Ireland. But in 1963, as Dudley Kane, he moved his family to England. Although he continued to have something of a musical career in Ireland, Darach earned his living in the rough and tumble of the construction industry. He died there in 1987. This program follows the family's journey and their dislocation through the eyes of Darach's seven children and their mother Brid. It contains archive and home recordings of Darach singing.
In the 1950s she was a Tinseltown actress, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous. Now she stars in her very own Hollywood, the Hollywood Hotel, in the back streets of Sydney's Surry Hills.

Race filled - 30 entrants for Vendée Globe 2008
by Vendée Globe media on 4 Jul 2008
Marc Thiercelin will take part of 2008 Vendee Globe ( Solo sailing round the world race - non stop) starting from Les Sables d'Olonnes -FRA on 9th Nov 2008. ThMartinez / Sea & Co - Copyright
Philippe de Villiers, President of the Vendée Council and organiser of the Vendée Globe presented the line-up for the 2008-2009 Vendée Globe at a conference in La Roche sur Yon on 2 July. It was in fact on 1 July, at midnight that the list of entrants for the Vendée Globe was definitively established.
The thirty places planned in the race notice have now been filled and there will indeed be thirty candidates lining up on 9 November for the start in Les Sables d'Olonne. An exceptional line-up, an unprecedented competitive level, this edition of the race deserves all the superlatives. It is now certain that the 2008 Vendée Globe will be an all ticket affair.
With thirty entrants at the start, the Vendée Globe has never been so popular, particularly when we remember that 13 sailors took part in the 1989 edition, 14 in 1992, 16 in 1996, 24 in 2000 and 20 in 2004.
There will be twenty eight men and two women, Britain's Dee Caffari and Samantha Davies, seven nationalities, which is another record for the race: 17 French skippers will be lining up, followed by six British skippers and two from Switzerland. Canada, the United States, Spain and Austria are each represented by one skipper.
Twenty new boats, or in other words two thirds of the fleet, have been specially built for this race, while the other ten from the 2004 generation have been completely refitted.
Never has a fleet of solo yachtsmen brought together so much experience in one race: the skippers taking part in the 2008-2009 Vendée Globe have completed 32 circumnavigations and 21 Vendée Globe races, which represents a total of 1.5 million miles raced around the world's oceans. Added to that, there is the presence of two previous winners, Michel Desjoyeaux (2000-2001) and Vincent Riou (2004-2005), so there will be a record-breaking champion line-up at the start in Les Sables d'Olonne.
It is certainly the case that on 9 November, as they leave the pontoons and make their way through the harbour channel in Les Sables d'Olonne, none of the participants in this 2008 edition will be able to forecast where they will finish in the rankings three moths later.
For the moment, 26 of the competitors have completed their registration and only four have not yet fulfilled all the requirements.
Vincent Riou, victim of a collision in June during the Artemis Transat is having to replace the keel on his PRB, currently in Halifax in Canada. He will be officially registered in August, once he returns to Europe. Jonny Malbon is still waiting for his new mast and is due to qualify in August too. Steve White is busy working on the administrative details to complete the forms. Finally, Norbert Sedlacek is going to have to check that his boat, which already took part in 2004, satisfies the 2008 safety requirements.
Never in the history of the Vendée Globe have the competitors been ready so early. This level of preparation is vital, considering the almighty battle that will be taking place between the contenders in this 2008 edition. In the background, there is the question that everyone has on their mind, without talking about it openly:
Where should they place the cursor on the scale between an all-out attack and the desire to preserve the equipment in order to complete the adventure. Indeed, the rules have not changed: the Vendée Globe remains the non-stop single-handed round the world voyage without assistance, making it quite simply the toughest of sailing races.
It will be the sailors on board that will make all the difference and the winner of the 2008 Vendée Globe will have achieved an exceptional feat. It would be rather presumptuous today to predict whether it will be an experienced Vendée Globe yachtsman like Mike Golding or Alex Thomson, Roland Jourdain, Dominique Wavre or Marc Thiercelin (taking part for the fifth time), a former winner dreaming of the double, like Michel Desjoyeaux and Vincent Riou, or one of the newcomers to the race like Sam Davies, Yann Eliès, Kito de Pavant or Armel le Cleach.
This edition is clearly an international affair and the competition is certainly strong from Britain with sailors like Mike Golding, Alex Thomson, Brian Thompson and Jonny Malbon, while the Swiss yachtsmen, Dominique Wavre and Bernard Stamm are also dreaming of reaching the harbour back in Les Sables d'Olonne in first place.
Then, there are the two North Americans, the Harvard graduate, Rich Wilson and Derek Hatfield sailing the first ever Canadian boat to take part. Finally, some like Michel Desjoyeaux, Jean-Pierre Dick and Loïck Peyron, by dominating the 2007-2008 racing season find themselves chosen as the natural favourites.
The Vendée area of France will be represented by four boats sporting the colours of companies from France's West coast: PRB, after their previous successes in 2000-2001 and 2004-2005 will be entrusting their boat once again to Vincent Riou, VM Matériaux, who are counting on the talent of Jean Le Cam, Akena Vérandas, who are relying on Arnaud Boissières and the Océan Vital Foundation, which is supporting Raphaël Dinelli.
On 12 July, Les Sables d'Olonne, Olonne sur Mer and Le Château d'Olonne are being decked out in the colours of the Vendée Globe to remind holidaymakers that they are at the port, where the Vendée Globe race will start on 9th November. The roundabouts will be decorated, shop windows covered in more than 2.3 km of tape and 8000 T-shirts will be handed out to shopkeepers.
Finally, in collaboration with the Association of tradesmen from the town of Les Sables d'Olonne, the Vendée Globe is organising a major summer competition around the theme of the Vendée Globe.

Real Food
Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
Unsafe Food
In my 45 years as a butcher, I've seen horrific things in retail meat markets. I've watched managers wash chicken in baking soda and Clorox. That's right – Clorox.
The chicken was so obviously spoiled that you could smell it. But they did it anyway, repackaged it and sold it as fresh. A very common practice at one of the big chains I worked at.
I've been in meat departments where the meat saw was cleaned so infrequently that there were maggots in the bottom of the saw that caught the bone fragments. I've seen meat scraps go into barrels literally crawling with maggots. Wonder how often this still happens.
Choosing a small-scale, local butcher and developing a relationship with him or her is the answer to avoiding these shenanigans. If you have questions, ask. A local butcher will be happy to answer.
All to say that - demand to know!
It's your health.

At a meeting of Wiltshire Council held in the Corn Exchange in Devizes on Tuesday 25th June members passed the long awaited Core Strategy which will gives a single planning framework for the County until 2026. In addition the new County Minerals Strategy as well as a new Standards framework for elected members throughout Wiltshire were passed.
The Lib Dems plan for our Wiltshire Downs
During the course of the meeting Conservative Members of the Council defeated a Lib Dem move to allow unrestricted wind farm development in the County. Instead Conservatives voted to impose planning guidance to limit the distance of wind farms from residential dwellings depending on the size of the wind turbine. In adding ground breaking planning guidance on wind farm development to the Core Strategy Conservative Members added policy that allows both for the development of small scale micro generation sites and for the final decision on whether planning distances should be applied to wind turbines to be made by local communities on a case by case basis.
Commenting on the move Councillor Linda Conley who proposed the wind farm restrictions said "On behalf of my residents I am delighted that we have been able to defeat the Lib Dem proposals which would have littered Wiltshire with wind farms".
In a fiercely fought debate on the issue many Liberal Democrat Councillors showed their support for onshore wind energy. Conservative Councillor Jonathon Seed commented "We have spent months working on sensible planning guidance which places reasonable constraints on attempts to cover our priceless Wiltshire countryside with wind farms. It is a real pity that the Liberal Democrat opposition could not tear themselves away from their green dogma and instead they all voted in favour of unfettered development of wind farms in Wiltshire. "

Almost a quarter of BSkyB's shareholders rebelled against the £7m pay package of chief executive Jeremy Darroch and other top executives at the pay-TV company's annual general meeting on Friday.
Almost 23% voted against BSkyB's remuneration report – with a further 0.6% abstaining, which is often viewed as a protest vote – after several shareholder advisory services flagged concerns over the way top executives are paid.
Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox voted its 39% stake in favour of the pay deal – meaning that of the independent shareholders who voted, some 42% opposed the pay plans.
Darroch took more than £7m in overall remuneration and share award payouts in the year to the end of June, including a maximum bonus of £1.9m, totalling about eight times his base salary.
Finance chief Andrew Griffith pocketed £1.5m.
Prior to the AGM in Edinburgh a number of investor advisory firms had flagged concerns over BSkyB's incentive structure.
Pirc advised a no vote, calling elements of the remuneration report potentially "highly excessive" with the possibility of "misalignment of executive interests with those of shareholders". ISS and Manifest also highlighted issues with BSkyB's remuneration in their reports.
Twice as many shareholders voted against Sky's remuneration policies this year as did in 2012.
A Sky spokeswoman said: "Our remuneration policy aims to align executive pay directly to the interests of our shareholders. We recognise there can be a difference of views but our policy is working well in support of our overall strategy: the performance of the business is excellent and we are delivering strongly for shareholders."
Pirc also advised shareholders to vote against the reappointment of James Murdoch as a director, citing "concerns over his fitness to serve" following his handling of the phone-hacking scandal when he was chairman of News International, the UK publisher of now-defunct News of the World.
"We consider James Murdoch's conduct, including his failure to initiate action on his own account on a number of occasions, to be both difficult to comprehend and ill-judged," said Pirc.
"In our view, James Murdoch's conduct … repeatedly fell short of the exercise of responsibility to be expected of him as CEO and chairman."
However BSkyB shareholders were willing to leave the scandals of the past behind – in 2011 a third of independent shareholders voted against Murdoch's reappointment when he was still chairman – with 96% voting to reappoint him as a director on Friday. Only 3.9% of shareholders that voted opposed him, 0.2% abstained.
At last year's AGM in London Murdoch was labelled by one investor as "toxic", although 95% voted for his reappointment. There was no such reaction from those that made the trip to Edinburgh this year.
The location and small number of shareholders in attendance perhaps explains how Darroch avoided a grilling over BT's shock £900m snatching of Champion's League football TV rights from BSkyB.
Jittery shareholders wiped £1.6bn off the satellite broadcaster's share price following the announcement earlier this month.
However, this concern did not carry to yesterday's AGM, which was all over in 20 minutes, with just a single question coming from the floor. Darroch was asked, rather politely, about the future plans for Sky Sports – BT was not mentioned.
He responded by arguing that Sky has the "strongest sport service in the UK" offering a huge breadth and depth of programming beyond football.
He highlighted coverage of the Ashes cricket series in Australia, ATP tour tennis finals, the autumn rugby internationals and the end of the 2013 Formula One and US golf seasons as examples of the expanse of content this month.
At a conference in Barcelona earlier this week Darroch said that he would be keen to cut a wholesale deal with BT for its sports channels, his first public comments since the telecoms company won the Champions League rights.
"It has to be a two way thing, so we'd want reciprocity in terms of supply," Darroch said on Wednesday. "So if we can get there with BT, my position has always been very open to do that."

Fertilizing Christmas Plants
I'm fertilizing my Christmas plants — a poinsettia and a couple of Christmas cactus — with half-strength liquid fertilizer and keeping them near bright windows. —Lynn Coulter/Atlanta, Georgia
Planting Sweet Pea
Toward the end of the month, I'll plant sweet pea seeds. I'm eager to try a variety called 'Windowbox Heirloom Cupid' that's recommended for window boxes and containers.—Lynn Coulter
Spring Cleaning for Bluebirds
I'll clean out my bluebird boxes and secure any screws that are getting loose. Squirrels have been gnawing at the entrance hole of one box, so I'll buy a metal ring to put around the hole to deter them. —Lynn Coulter
Snowy Massachusetts Garden
I will be picking up large branches that have fallen in the yard from winter storms.— Melissa Caughey/Osterville, Massachusetts
Watch for Bees
On warmer days, I will watch the beehives for bees taking cleansing flights.—Melissa Caughey
Seed Set-Up
I will place orders for seeds.—Melissa Caughey
Plan Research Trips
I will begin to plan my visit to the local garden/flower shows.—Melissa Caughey
Tend my Indoor Garden
I will tend to the houseplants and inspect for pests and need for re-potting. (Editor's Note: see how to repot houseplants here.)—Melissa Caughey
Start Planning
I will begin planning on how I will add/change and add to the garden come spring.—Melissa Caughey
Protect Plants
Between snows, I check and replace netting over Lenten roses and heuchera. If I leave them uncovered, deer and rabbits eat them to the ground.—Julie Martens/Frostburg, Maryland
Storing Garlic
A few garlic bulbs are sprouting. I peel unsprouted cloves and toss them with oil to prevent freezer burn and freeze. This year I'm also going to try freezing garlic cubes—1 part chopped garlic to 2 parts oil is the ratio the USDA recommends.—Julie Martens
Stock Feeders
I stock the birdfeeders regularly. The suet feeder especially sees heavy action at this point in winter.—Julie Martens
heated bird bath
Keeping the heated birdbath clean and full is also a key chore this month.—Julie Martens
Buy Hyacinths
I snap up small 4-inch pots of forced hyacinths when they're on sale at the supermarket. I enjoy the fragrance in my home and move them outside once spring arrives. After the leaves die back in midsummer, I store the bulbs (still in their pots) for fall planting.—Julie Martens
During winter thaws, I wander through the yard gathering wind-thrown twigs and hauling the bigger branches to the forest. That makes spring clean-up go quicker.—Julie Martens
Transplant Bonsai
I tackle transplanting a dormant bonsai gingko—before next month's lengthening days cause buds to break. This timing applies to any dormant deciduous bonsai. I prune roots heavily, removing about half, and add a fresh soil-compost mix to the pot when replanting.—Julie Martens
Insulate Roses
When shoveling snow, I toss salt-free shovels-full of snow around the roses to help insulate the plants.—Julie Martens
Repairing Fence
Now that my view of the fence and gate is unobscured by plants and flowers, I can see where repairs are needed. I will be nailing loose pickets into place and fixing the latch on the gate.—Felicia Feaster/Atlanta, Georgia
Painting Porch
My front porch has shown some wear and tear so I plan to repaint the porch floor—a dark color to hide imperfections—and also the ceiling. It's the first thing—besides the picket fence—people see when they visit my home so I want it to look great.—Felicia Feaster
Work on Lighting Plan
Right now my outdoor lighting consists of security lights/floodlights and solar lighting, but I'd like to work on a more comprehensive plan that incorporates more lighting for security, but also lighting to highlight landscaping.—Felicia Feaster
Mailbox Shopping
A mishap with a car (Dad!) means my mailbox is now precariously balanced on its post. I will begin shopping for a new post and probably a new mailbox as well: thinking I might try something modern. Check out some of the fantastic mailbox options out there in this gallery.—Felicia Feaster
Planning Side Garden
After concentrating a lot of effort on my front yard garden last spring, it's time to give my side garden some love. I'll be thinking about ornamental grasses, a growing trend, and interesting specimens for part-shade. The Bed Head garden, a trend in 2015, is my inspiration.

No snow here, which makes this is a great time to get bare-root fruit trees in the ground.—Mick Telkamp
Winter Hellebores
My hellebores are beginning to bloom in spite of the frosts and freezes; I usually cut back the old foliage, especially the tattered bits, so the flowers – which typically hand downward – are easier to enjoy.— Felder Rushing/Jackson, Mississippi
Rake Moss
Decomposing fallen leaves feed moss over the winter, but I rake them in mid-winter to reveal a welcome emerald green carpet.—Felder Rushing
Winter Perennials
February is when snowdrops, hellebores, cyclamen, and dwarf Iris (reticulate) begin to bloom – helped with a small figurine to complete the scene. (Editor's note: Garden art and decor is a great way to add a sense of fun and interest to a winter garden.)—Felder Rushing
Protect Camellia
There are those that bloom in winter, including Camellia japonica. Time to spray undersides of leaves with dormant oil to reduce tea scale infestations for the rest of the year.—Felder Rushing
Tend Sempervivum
Hen and chicks sempervivum, along with sedums, are among the most cold-hardy succulents in my winter garden. I carefully remove any mushy stems and leaves to better enjoy the small textured plants.—Felder Rushing

|SPCA Rep
|Hello, welcome to the SPCA. Thanks for coming in for the interview. I know it must seem like quite a complicated process, when all you simply want to do is give an unwanted dog a caring home. However, we need to be sure that the people we re-home dogs with are suitable owners. I hope you understand!
|Yes I do, don't worry it really is no problem.
|SPCA Rep
|Great, well in this interview, we are just going to go over some details relevant to matching you with the right kind of dog and Ill put some details into the computer as we talk. So your name is Helen Morgan?
|Yes, that's right.
|SPCA Rep
|Okay and today's date is. (Q1) September 18th, hmm oh no, its the 18th tomorrow, so its the 17th. Now I have all the address details here from when you first arranged the interview, that's fine. 12 Towley Avenue , Meadow Lea, telephone number 443 5421, no problem with that, and I can see that you don't have any pets at the moment. Oh, there is no information here about your work schedule. we need to know how long the dog would be likely to be left on its own you see.
|Well, I actually work full-time, but I run my own business from home. I am at home all day most of the week, apart from Wednesdays and Fridays when I work outside from 10.00 to (Q2) 2.30pm
|SPCA Rep
|Okay, well that sounds fine. We don't normally allow dogs to go to homes where no one would be at home all day every day.
|I understand.
|SPCA Rep
|Now I need to ask you, why you are interested in adopting a dog – I mean, people do for different reasons. Would you say that you want the dog to be a guard dog for protection of your property I mean – or to be a family pet?
|Well, it would be nice to have a dog that can tell us when someone is coming of course! But we don't want a big dog that would be stereotypical guard dog, it would actually be a (Q3) family pet for myself and my husband, but we do plan to have children in the near future, so it would need to have a temperament that would be good with children.
|SPCA Rep
|Yes, okay. So how many people live in your house?
|Just the (Q4) two of us. Though my brother stays with us for summer holidays when he isn't at university.
|SPCA Rep
|And do you have children who visit on a regular basis?
|Yes my two nieces, they are (Q5) 3 and 6. They visit most weekends with my sister.
|SPCA Rep
|Okay, and is anyone living in the house allergic to animals?
|My husband is allergic to cats but not dogs!
|SPCA Rep
|So who will be responsible for the daily care of the pet?
|Well my (Q6) husband works from home too, so it would be a joint effort between myself and him.
|SPCA Rep
|Okay. Now, do you rent or own your home?
|Actually we rent, but our landlord, Johnathon, has no problem with us having a dog, we've already checked with him and we are going to buy our own house in a few months anyway.
|SPCA Rep
|Well, I hope you don't mind, but we do need to check everything is okay, ourselves. Could you give me Jonathon's phone number so we can make a confirmation call?
|Sure, Ill give you his mobile number. Its 0795 (Q7) 722 4189
|SPCA Rep
|No 4189
|SPCA Rep
|Okay. Now we need to be sure they animal would be safe from roads and traffic. Do you have a fenced yard or garden?
|Yes we do
|SPCA Rep
|And can you give me an idea how tall the fence is? Again it affects the type of dog that would be suitable as so can jump lower fences!
|Actually, my friend adopted a dog last year and she told me that would be one of the questions, so I know exactly! Its (Q8) 1.5 metres tall
|SPCA Rep
|Okay, now I just need to check your previous experience with dogs. Can you tell me if you have ever owned a dog before?
|Yes, I have. We had dogs when I was a child but I have had only one myself as an adult.
|SPCA Rep
|What breed was it?
|It was (Q9) mixed breed actually, a medium sized dog, I would say. He was really friendly.
|SPCA Rep
|Okay, and how long did you have him for?
|5, no wait a minute, (Q10) 6 years
|SPCA Rep
|Do you mind telling me what happened to it?
|Well, he was rescue dog and wasn't young when I adopted him, so he died from age-related natural causes.
|SPCA Rep
|Okay, well thanks very much. You are welcome to go and have a look at the dogs that are here at the moment, but it will take 3 or 4 days to confirm approval of your application. Ill telephone you and let you know the outcome as soon as it has been processed.
|Okay, well thanks very much and I look forward to hearing from you

© 2017 Illuminated Journaling/Jann Gray Designs
The two most common questions I get from people who are new to Illuminated Journaling are "what supplies do you use?" and "how did you do that?!?!" I love these questions!
I love the first question because it takes very little to get started with Illuminated Journaling. I have a few basic supplies that I use - and they fit in a small shoulder bag that I can take just about anywhere. Traveling is easy (I have enjoyed plane rides so much more since discovering I can get everything I need to work in my Bible in my carry on luggage). While you will no doubt add to your supplies as you go deeper into your study and creative reflection, I recommend the products that I have put into the list over on the right side of the page because I use them myself and I know that you will get good results with them.
I love the second question because one of my favorite things to do is to share tips and techniques that I have found to work from my own journaling. I have set up a page where I can post tutorials and workshops that you may enjoy taking. Be sure and check it out.
I am also available to come and teach a several session Workshop at an art or scrapbooking supply store, a ministry retreat or as an extracurricular class for Christian Academies. If you would be interested in me teaching in your area, please send me a message on the Workshop page - I would love to have that opportunity.
There are so many exciting things that I hope to be able to reveal very soon. God has opened up some doors that I am absolutely delighted to get to be working on for you every single day! I am a blessed woman! Please keep me in your prayers! I need wisdom, discernment and creativity in LARGE doses every day!
I will be sending out an occasional newsletter - when I have new workshops or resources to announce. If you are interested in getting that newsletter there is an easy way to sign up for it at the top right side of this page.
I would love to hear from you...so please use this form to let me know what you would like to learn more about! I get some of my best inspiration from you...so don't hesitate to let me know how I can help you!
Welcome to Illuminated Journaling!
I am so excited that you are interested in learning more! Whether you are brand new to Illuminated Journaling - or have been journaling in one form or another in your Bible for a long time, it is my hope that you will find something here to encourage you on your spiritual journey. I will be sharing my own journey with you and I can't wait to be inspired by you as well!
Every Bible I have ever owned has ended up being the repository of all sorts of evidence that I have met with God on the pages of His Word. If you were to do a quick flip through one of my Bibles, you would find that sermon notes, prayers, word studies and cross references have been scribbled in the margins and that words and even whole paragraphs have been underlined, circled and color coded. These marks on the pages of my Bibles were not put there to distract from the Word of God – but to remind me of the personal insights and instructions God has shared with me as I studied and meditated on His Word. My newest Bible also contains illustrations - a form of Illuminated Journaling.
In Genesis 1:27, the Bible tells us that "God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them." As imperfect as we are, we have built into us a creativity that is there because God made us in His image. If we want to know God deeply and worship Him genuinely – we need to incorporate that creative part of ourselves that has been made in His image.
My heart's desire is to help everyone who visits this site, reads my book, downloads a resource or attends one of my workshops to come into the presence of God and respond to the living Word in a deep and refreshing way.

Lots of Bible Journalers also have other hobbies that use products that would be fun to use in their Bibles. If you like to stamp or use stencils and a variety of inks, I would suggest that you begin by adding some clear gesso to your page.

Borax Solution - CURE
Posted in the Scabies Forum
1 - 20 of 1,435 Comments Last updated Mar 9, 2017
#1 Aug 6, 2012
Hi guys,
I did everything on this site (and a few others) to get rid of mites. Several paasite cleanses, mega dosing wormwood/clove/black walnut hull, DE, homeopathy, perm, iverm, imid, etc.
They just kept breeding. Sure, numbers would lessen but still get crawling sensations. I was feeling very sad, praying for a miracle.
I was directed to earthclinic.com where I found Ted. His advice as written on the thread 'Mite Infetation Cures QUESTIONS' has totally given me a reason to hope. Three days ago I applied his recipe of Borax saturated with 1% hydrogen peroxide and could feel it woking well. I opted to also make a mix of castor oil with borax, tincture of wormood/black walnut hull, also added clove, peppermint, lavender, tea tree and lang ylang oils, the topped it with several eye dropper squirts of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide ad a shot of aloe vera gel. Spread this everywhere. Felt luoious and WOKED, They cam crawling out of everywhere.(Again?!? I thought they were motly all gone by now).
Good results with his uggestion of Ted's so I found the courage two days ago and made up his recipe for an internal solution of 1/8 tsp in a liter of water (sipped throughout the day, best after meals). Wow. Any crawling sensation in the padt two days has been halted in its tracks. I can feel intuitively they are dead.
My life light is now burning again. I'm so grateful and wanted to share this experience with you guys.
Do read his info - he's awesome!
Other notes- I'm also on the foodgrade hydrogen peroxide protocol (as detailed in the book - The One Minute Cure), up to 8 drops of 35% in 8 oz of distilled water, 3x/day. I will continue up to 26 drops 3x/day then taper down a drop day by day until I get to th maintenance of 3drops 3x/day.
Ted rcommend cleaning the environment with a ncessary solution of borax and H2O2 to kill the mites (I add this to lysol). He also stresses putting both hydrogen peroxide and borax in the laundry wash cycle. I let mine soak in this (+ A&H powder) for an hour then run it - I also put a scoop of DE (mixed with pyrethroid powder) into the dryer with the clothes, run on High. I sprayed all my clothing with a mix of water with alcohol, permethrin, borax, H2O2, cedar, clove, peppermint, lavender, tea tree oil and a little bit of apple cider vinegar.
My house smells really fresh, clothes smell good, best of all no itchy/crawly sensation.
What to lose? Ted's solution of Borax and hydrogen peroxide are super cheap (at least, relatively so) and are the absolutely only thing that give me cause to hope for a future free of this pestilence.
Give the thread a look-see - I'm sure you won't be disappointed. On the contrary.
Pemethrin might work fine for folks with recent infestation but if you have had them for while, as Ted explains, these buggers are now traveling via the bloodstream. He explains how the solution kills them.
Would love to hear how adding these recipes into mite-fights help you all as well...
God Bless you all!
#2 Aug 6, 2012
Sorry about the spelling mistakes, have a kid and gotta get to work around the house.
You get the jist though. Go to earthclinic.com , type 'mite infestation cures questions' in the search box, follow through with these simply and inxpensive remedys and report back. It only took me one day to see awesome results. I'm day three now of the internal remedy and feel like new...
#3 Aug 7, 2012
Okay folks, its Day 4 now. I feel fantastic. No itchy crawly, creepy sensations.
So happy! It took just a couple days to expl masses of tiny mites out of my skin but now I apply the concentrated Borax with hydrogen peroxide solution and its all clear :)
I wish you all happy healing. Apply this solution and I'm positive you'll be 100% in no time.
Btw, I also tried triphala, neem, turmeric or several months to no avail. Also tried DMSO with catte ivermctin.
Oh my goodness, I was so desperate to over my body continuously in those chems.
This remedy is very safe, non-toxic, good for pet mange.
#5 Aug 8, 2012
Thank you but I no longer have need of that. The mites have effectively been brought to the surface with the topical Borax saturated in 1% h2O2. The ones living deeper have been flushed out as well. I'm no longer itchy and extremely pleased 2 have found (finally) the non-toxic remedy!!!
Big smiles :)
I don't have a bathtub snyway :/
#6 Aug 9, 2012
Hi Str8uP, following your progress and hoping you continue to get good results! Still a little shy of trying the internal borax but you just might convince me!:)
#7 Aug 9, 2012
Hey there,
Day 6 - i'm taking today and tomorrow off as suggested. I feel great but there have been slight crawly sensation. The Borax solution is very soothing to the nerves so maybe thats why I'm feeling them a little bit today. But then I put on the paste and the sensations stop immediately. Borax apparanetly, from what 've read, kills the eggs too. The only area I felt this crawly sensation was areas of huge infestation (shoulder blades, glutes). But I had them poring out of my abdominal sides (where I had some extra padding) earlier ths week and no crawly sensation there earlier today so I think they're done for there. I think there were a lot of layers of eggs in the heavily infested zones. There may still be mites hatching or just debris but as I'm not sure, I'm sticking with the solution a little while longer.
I'm going to start back up with the Borax solution in two days and continue for two more weeks (two more 5-day cycles).
Today and tomorrow though I'm still with the food grade hydrogen peroxide (FGHP) protocol... I'm up to ten drops per 8 oz cup of water, 3x/day. Also taking a glass of warm water with 2 Tbsp. baking soda and lemon to adjust my pH and taking a drink with apple cider vinegar daily as well.
If you read through Ted's post in the two threads I mentioned you will find good and sound reasoning...
No hype, just the facts
I've aso added Borax into my shampoo and body wash.
This all is making my skin smooth and silky soft too!
Borax is a winner!
If you have demodex mites in your eyelashes, you can put the Borax there with 1% H2O2 mixed in with castor oil to kill the mites and it doesn't hurt a bit. Borax diluted has been known for years to be safe as a wash for eye infections.
No more poisons for my family.
You know, after ingesting 5 tubes total of ivermectin horse paste and smothering my skin with cattle chem'd DMSO, not to mention all the permethrin, I didn't hesitate to try the Borax. It was known to our ancestors as a magic crystal and commonly used.
Most importantly, it is working.........
Thank you God!
#8 Aug 9, 2012
Sister, you can try just the external solution if you are nervous. I assure you though, I have felt no ill effects from this drink...
#9 Aug 10, 2012
Notes from Ted at earthclinic.com :
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Molly: First off there are many other people who have bumps like yours (all over their body but without the acne head) and when they apply lavender oil the mites run for cover by moving themselves to other areas. The mites are loosely called Morgellon's disease, but I prefer to call them mites or nanoinsects, due to its size being peculiarly smaller than a dog mange.
This is why if a mites were present that an aroma oils (lavender oil) set up a barrier to prevent them from spreading to the head (by applying lavender oil a ring around the neck), or if they reach the head, a barrier oil is drawn around the eyes (ring around the eyes), noses and ears, before they are applied to the TARGET area.
The mites infestation manifests themselves like lupus, rosacea, or lyme. They can take the form of a synthetic superbug (man-made) if there were fibers ( www.silentsuperbugs.com )
One interesting thing about these "unknown mites" is that if they stay on the skin, they are relatively easy to kill and will never come back again.
However, if they get into the bloodstream they manifest themselves into more serious condition of lupus, lyme or a relatively benign rosacea. So the fact that foundations are set up to deal with these problem separately, the conditions from my own trial and error were all related and all responded quite well to the borax remedy. I have as yet to wait from other places for their remedy and they don't seem to have any solution, but it is likely earthclinic will be the first to post them anyway!
Usually a borax is used both externally and internally as way of treatment. In some cases eating orange peels might help too.
Yes the borax and hydrogen peroxide is drying. The way to resolve this dilemma is to use to apply lotions after the application UNRINSED. Another possibility is to use MORE frequently (as much as you like) a simpler solution of just borax without rinsing by using hydrogen peroxide mixed to borax less frequently.
Neem oil would also do it but a lot less effectively as they are also insecticidal but an orange oil CAN be mixed with some borax in event the drying effect of hydrogen peroxide is causing the problem.
DMSO if mixed in low portions with a borax solution can be another substitute, but I prefer a fairly low concentration so that it doesn't cause stinging, such as always below 50%. I would have to try it myself to know the exact concentrations.
People have really different tolerances for DMSO (which are also penetrating) and I guess the exact concentration that has the least irritation and still have some effects is between 10% to 25% DMSO in a borax. I have no way for sure since the numbers I tried are too small. What I do know is my own arms, I can easily go 50% concentration since that area is less sensitive.
The reason why dogs are relatively easy to cure with their mites infestation are two reasons I can think of, firstly the mites species do not go deep into the bloodstream, the second reason is the size prevents them and only exists exclusively on the skin of the dogs.
The human forms of mites are much more smaller and can reside in the bloodstream if action was not taken soon enough to kill them, giving them a CHANCE to survive deep in the blood, which can result in pretty bad joint pains and terrible skin pus.

Notes, continued from (my hero) Ted:
I was just wondering if it's safe to continue doing the borax soaks for this long?
Borax can be used externally just like soaps. Although I tend to think soap at least for me are actually more toxic for me as soaps have pseudoestrogens from all those perfumes they are using, and it just modifies my testosterone, which I don't like.
A borax is more ideal for me since it is unscented and have no dangerous pseudoestrogens. Some sodium lauryl sulfate contains traces of dioxin which I do not like and it is the borax that removes the body of excess fluoride due to popular water fluoridation and chlorination which seems to destroy all my plants by stunting its growth.
Many people worry of taking too much borax. Taking too much borax manifests itself by if they were taken too much, it will cause a diarrhea, being the most frequently cited problems. The other, which is less prevalent is sleepiness as borax may cause sleepiness, if of course you happen to be already sleepy, but has no effect or little effect if I was not sleepy. Although tit does have calming effect. The other thing is borax, if taken too much and I don't mean poisoning myself by taking a tablespoonful - can lead to some loss of appetite, which is great if I happened to want to loose some weight. Although the practice of taking baking soda and borax (a very small amount) does lead to weight loss as the borax seems to cause my body temperature and metabolism to go up, and hence weight loss and also chelates out fluorides which my body don't want after all.
One commonly cited borax toxicity is the issue of LD50, which means a dose that can kill half of the mice often expressed as mg/kg. For example a borax or boron is actually a essential mineral needed for bone metabolism, and boron are found in thyroid and parathyroid, which influences metabolism and remove fluoride from the pineal gland which tends to accumulate over the lifetime. Fluoride therefore accelerates the aging process while borax reduces the fluoride buildup, which is a common biomarkers for aging used by scientist. The LD50 of borax is about 2000 mg/kg and the LD50 of salt is about the same as borax. Therefore for a borax to have a LD50, a 100 kilogram man would have to take 2000 mg/kg x 100 = 200,000 mg or 200 grams of borax. So a small person, whose weight is 50 kg his LD50 toxic dose would be 100 grams of borax, or 1/10 of a kilogram!
In practice taking that kind of a huge dose is not possible except for accidental poisoning. In practice I would be more concerned about taking low dose for especially sensitive people or make minor errors in taking too much as opposed to taking it ridiculously too much.
So taking borax in that instances would lead to the problems of weight loss, diarrhea, loss of appetite (I like this one!), then the borax can be taken by me as long as I like. In fact I take them for weight loss and joint pains (cause is mycoplasma or mycobacterium).
I find the skin also gets less irritated as mites die if I take 1/4 (men's dose) or 1/8 (woman's dose) of borax mixed in 1 liter of water taken throughout the day. Depending on peoples's sensitivity I have noticed some can take it for a long as they like to some people who have low tolerances and can take it for no longer than 2-3 days out of a week. The only way to know anything is for me to just try it. I also take it for my joint pains. The key to all this is if the boron is maintained at a steady level in the blood long enough all mites eggs would die and it shouldn't take that long but it does take at least 1 month of continued use, assuming proper usage. However most of improvement is seen for about 2-3 weeks.

Ted note (part 3):
I believe that taking 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water, once in the morning and once before bedtime to help with the mites infestation, and then an hour or thirty minutes after I take the baking soda I will likely take the borax drinking water.
It is necessary I think to take a bath in borax and wash all clothes and bedspread in a borax AND hydrogen peroxide solution. However for clothes and bedspread to prevent further REINFECTION is the key and it is why borax should be used as a cleaning solution in the house and the use of laundry. It is best to mixed the borax, in a detergent when doing laundry or cleaning floors if at all possible.
Most people who get mites get it from being outdoors, bungalows, and now the mites infestation seem to exists in hotels and motels. This is why borax should be used not just for household purposes but in business establishments such as hospitals and hotels, where people often get them due to being a public facilities.
B : "re: Skin mites (Demodex mites) on human skin. Need help desperately. Dear Ted, Is there any way / remedies to remove, preferrably KILL all these mites especially eggs on my skins? My scalp is fine - no problem there, but my skin all over my body is not (except my face which is consider no problem now). Normally it's the other way round where peeps got on both their scalp and face. The little sting and itch and crawl can be unbearable at times. I tired boric acid (we don't have Borax oevr here) bath with sulphur...just so-so. Pls help. Thanks in advance!!"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "The best way is to neutralize the boric acid with baking soda, until the pH paper indicates alkalinity of the color blue. Then this is mixed to a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution and applied to the skin area. The KEY IS THE hydrogen peroxide, which attacks the eggs to by blowing them up while the borax acts as a insect stomach poison.
Applying orange oil 30% in alcohol solutions can also kill the mites insect just as effectively. Both alcohol and orange oil are insecticidal anyway.
There are other ways to deal with this such a solution of tannic acid can practically denature all of the mites just as effectively. The solution is seen as 1 tablespoon of tannic acid in about 1 cup of water, would be diluted enough that it won't be too drying to the skin, but will kill the eggs as tannic acid attacks the protein of the eggs by transforming them to leather like substance much like the tanning leathers."
B : "Dear Ted, Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I'll try it then let you know. Btw, where do I find pure Tannic acid for sale. I googled a bit..they (those chemical co) usually sell like in bulk form...aiiishh! God bless."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Most chemical companies sells in bulk, true, but the prices are sometimes not as expensive. However, borax in general works best by if it is taken also internally only for a couple of days out of a week most of the mites goes away in about a week or two. The usual dose I take if I have that problem is 1/4 teaspoon of borax in one liter of drinking water should help the most based on my experience and its result should be seen within about 2-3 days."
Good luck you guys. I really fekt they were mostly all dead by Day 2!
Now I'm Day 7, no drink yesterday or today. Just the slightest tingling sensations in trouble zones upon rising, stop after application of borax/h2O2 solution.
Will start drink back up tomorrow.
#12 Aug 10, 2012
Oh snap, I just read through his notes again. He recommends using the internal solution for a month straight to kill all the mites. I fekt no tingling sensations whatsoever when I was on the drink. So I'm going to make it up right now and keep with it continuously for another few weeks.
As I noted previously I've felt no ill effects from ingesting the Borax.

#14 Aug 10, 2012
I read them , I just didn't like the idea of taking borax internally.
#15 Aug 10, 2012
Thats so weird!
This was your immediate response to my post on the homeopathy board:
"I didn't see the internal suggestion of Teds, I'll keep that in mind...(and so forth)"
Please please pretty please refrain from posting on this thread.
Really, please.
If you don't want to try it and feel free in two days, fine.
If you want to spend the rest of your life on topix scabies forum, okay.
I don't.
If you don't either, you should give this a try.
I was a perfectionist in my parasite cleansing and homeo treatments for several months each. Waste.of.time.
Well, I felt stronger during my cleansing of course but no change to the mite livity.
Please fred/lotus, only comment on this thread after you have given it a try.
I want to keep it simple, okay.
Bye bye
I'll periodically check back in to see how this works for you all.
But I feel free finally. Took my pinch of Borax in water this morning and haven't felt a tickle since.
Chao for now!

Hi Str8uP, Are you taking the widely available 20 Team Borax one finds in the grocery store? Or is there some food grade variety? Thanks!

Toxicity of Borax comment, continued...
'I am not going to push you to try anything including borax or your decision to do anything. But you must come to realize a point in time where your logic rules, not what is been taught but what you think works for you.
It must be understood that the "system" doesn't like to see you cured, suffering is a lot more profitable to both drug system and "the system" and it only pleases the "system" that population control, which is the primary goal of today's system be enforced, stealthly.
I can never go directly against them, they are just too powerful. And yes, I get hassled, threatened more than I care to remember, but I am doing the best I can to get the information out as gently as I can imagine without ruffling too many feathers. The best I can say "this is this" and "that is that", but if I go any further, I get into trouble too.
All I can say is in my own experience getting alkaline enough and even a small amount of borax has the similar toxicity to salt in terms of LD50 and remains the key to getting lupus recovery. Those who do get cured, don't post them directly they also fear because of so much "publicity against" borax use.
The ONLY published death against borax use is NOT borax. It is boric acid from accidental poisoning as the baby accidentally ate the boric acid. The baby more likely died from acidosis (from the strong acid of boric), rather than the boron, in my humble opinion. Boric acid is in fact much more toxic than borax.
You decide. So far everyone I know is benefiting, but that's just my own experience. I am out on a limb more than I care to remember when I post earthclinic. And believe me, I know a lot more than I care to post because there so much information pollution out there, including wikipedia. The war stories of me is just too overwhelming even to scratch the surface.
If in deep doubt I will always take much less say one tiny grain borax dissollved in a swimming pool of water just to make a fool of myself. Or perhaps, with little more confidence, maybe just one grain in one liter of water, which is a bit less ridiculous, then if need be maybe just 1/10 of whatever I think I used might be someday, safe. It's the same story ten years ago about hydrogen peroxide and colloidal silver, during the early heydays of the internet, when remedies were first introduced. The reason why we CAN'T CURE ourself is we are simply too dependent on a system which we believed to be benign, but personally I believed to be malevolent, and once you begin to realize this then you will know that what you have been taught is either all wrong, or our own mind has been divorced from ourself.
It takes only a simple observation and some basic rules of chemistry for me to write up hundreds of remedies in earthclinic and the reason why I can do that, is simply we have been conditioned not to think, but to follow rules. Some people spent their whole lives following rules, and the world they live in looks nice, and it is tempting when you are offered the "blue pill" or the "red pill" as in the movie Matrix. Once again, you have to decide, which do you want, the blue pill or the red pill?
p.s. Try to consider taking chlorella or chlorella/spirulina supplements at least 5 days out of a week. You may have forgotten this one. However the bugs won't die if borax is not used, sorry to say."

I don't have time to waste Denver. Been there, done that.

Thanks for posting the info str8up. I had used your link but couldn't find the info.
I have diagnosed scabies for 5 wks but feel I may have had them much longer.
I have tried Malathion 3 x tea tree/ lavender baths/ rub downs/ sulpher soap etc but they haven't worked.
I am about to try sulper and vaseline eek this weekend and also started on black walnut and wormwood herbal remedy.
My goal is to make my body as alkaline as possible.
I am now on the hunt for Borax as well.
Am trying to stay positive.
At least this is making get my whole system and life cleansed!
Will let you know how I go.

A common source of performance issues and CEL's
Mass air flow sensors are tasked with measuring the amount of air entering the engine via the intake. This mass air flow sensor is known as a hot film sensor which will suffer performance deterioration over time. The sensor is designed to be self cleaning. A faulty or non functioning mass air flow sensor will cause a check engine light and in some cases cause a limp mode. The best way to diagnose a faulty mass air flow sensor is to disconnect it and see if engine idle or performance improves.

Learn how to prevent A/C trouble now and in the future by doing the complete A/C job. Let Bruce Bonebrake guide you through the steps to repair your air conditioner and get it back to working like new.
How Do I Do the Complete A/C Job?It is important to complete all the steps to repairing your air conditioning system.

Eliminate the guesswork and get hands-on instruction from a pro. Learn More
Why Should I Do the Complete A/C Job?Everything inside an Air Conditioning System is connected. Simply changing the compressor will not solve your A/C problem. If you've had a failure, it's likely that components have been affected throughout the system.
How to Auto Air Conditioning Repair DVD
A/C Compressor
This is your refrigerant "pump" - your A/C compressor circulates refrigerant through the system.
Common Problems - Leaks in one or more seals or the compressor itself can occur. Another frequent culprit, particle contamination from worn parts inside the compressor.
What to look for - A rattling compressor or visible signs of leaks are unmistakable signs of trouble.Replace Your Compressor
This system component collects moisture and prevents damage to your system by keeping the moisture away from the compressor.
Common Problems - Leaks impact the accumulator/drier. by creating more moisture than it can control. The result is over-saturation that can lead to compressor damage.
Did you know? - Depending on your vehicle, you may have an accumulator or a drier. Add A New Vehicle or select Manange My Vehicles to shop for the part that applies to your car, truck or SUV.
Already know what you need? Shop Accumulators Shop Driers
Orifice Tube/Expansion Valve
A filter of sorts, this A/C component regulates the flow of refrigerant through your air conditioning system.
Common Problems - If this component isn't working properly, you'll see irregular pressure readings on your A/C gauges. To avoid compressor damage, you've got to get excessive high-side or insufficient low-side pressure in check.
Did you know? - Depending on your vehicle, you may have an orifice tube or an expansion valve. Click MANAGE MY VEHICLES to find out which part applies to your car, truck or SUV.
Already know what you need? Shop Orifice Tubes Shop Expansion Valves
Designed to look and work like a radiator, your condenser cools the compressor.
Common Problems - Leaks and particles restricting the flow of refrigerant can lead to poor cooling. If your A/C is blowing hot air, suspect one of these problems.
Like a big ice cube, the evaporator's job is to sit inside the passenger compartment and cool the air as the blower pushes it through the evaporator.
Common Problems - The only way to diagnose a problem with your evaporator is using the A/C gauges. If the pressure reads below normal on the low side, you may have a leak.

Baker & McKenzie's burgeoning London-based private equity practice advised US private equity house Platinum Equity on its £102.4m acquisition of Hays Logistics.
Bakers' relationship with Platinum was fostered in the US shortly after Platinum was founded in 1995. London private equity partner Adam Levin now manages the relationship, a sign of Platinum's increased activity in Europe.
Following last year's acquisition of Alcatel's distribution and services business, with Bakers advising, this was Platinum's second acquisition of a European company with revenues of more than $1bn (£578.9bn).
Bakers obviously has an advantage when it comes to deals that cross a number of jurisdictions. The Hays deal involved 10 European countries and the US and the Alcatel deal involved 17 jurisdictions.
Bakers' private equity practice has evolved from a strong German base. Of the current clients, relationships with Apax Partners, Allianz Capital Partners and EQT Northern Europe have come from Germany.
"[Germany] has been extremely valuable to us… Now it's more of a two-way street," said global head of private equity Charles Whitefoord. "We've been using our international network to break into the UK domestic market as opposed to our competitors doing things the other way round." However, several UK firms, particularly Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and to a lesser extent Lovells, would also like to cross-sell strong their German private equity practices to London.
Bakers' other private equity clients include Deutsche Bank, Advent International, ABN Amro Ventures and 3i Group.
Freshfields partners James Davis and David Sonter advised regular client Hays.

Angela Gordon, 35, and her former partner Junaid Abuhamza, 31, were jailed by a judge at Birmingham Crown Court in March for the manslaughter of Khyra Ishaq.
The youngster died in May 2008 when her body succumbed to an infection after months of starvation at her home in Handsworth, Birmingham.
Mr Justice Roderick Evans sentenced Gordon to 15 years and jailed Abuhamza indefinitely for the public's protection, with a minimum term of seven-and-a-half years, branding their treatment of the child "chilling in its harshness and cruelty".
Both defendants, who were cleared of Khyra's murder, were also given concurrent sentences for child cruelty charges, which they had admitted, relating to five other children in their care and control.
The judge told them: "It is not right to say that these children suffered from neglect.
"Neglect is an inadequate and inappropriate description of the way they were treated.
"Rather, they were subjected to a domestic regime of punishment which was chilling in its harshness and cruelty."
During the trial, jurors heard that Khyra was removed from school and subjected to a punishment regime which included standing outside in the cold or in front of a fan for long periods, having cold water poured over her and being beaten with a bamboo cane.
She and the five other children were deprived of food and prevented from entering the fully-stocked kitchen by a bolt fixed out of their reach on the door.
