Yay!!! take my room/s as of September!

2008-07-29T01:17:57Z

My beautiful room in Central Square is up for grabs!!!!

Actually... 2 rooms up for grabs!!

2 of us in my house are moving out in the Fall.
Only Edward is staying in the apartment, and Oh!My!God! will you love Edward.
Expert at sorting trash, doing your dishes, and coming up with insane projects he only sometimes actually takes on. He studies comparative lit at Harvard, practices Qi Gong in the kitchen, and laughs out loud when he is alone (and thinks you can't hear him).

Handsome, friendly, burner type, Edward wants to live with YOU! --and YOU!

One of the rooms is available Sept 1, the other is available a few days into September AND RENT FOR THAT MONTH WILL BE PRORATED.

$500 plus utilities, either room.

THEY ARE BOTH FABULOUS!!!!!

Here's the goodies:
Central Sq, Cambridge, off the red line T, close to EVERYTHING!
Our apartment has a huuuuuge kitchen (it's actually the biggest room in the house!), a living room with the most unpredictable furniture, and an alcove off the hallway we've used alternatively as guest room/meditation room/bike storage.
Enormous basement for storage, playing hide and seek, spider hunting, and so on (really, the basement has offered us some elaborate fun).
The landlord is sweet as a pie, lives in Florida, will never be in your way, and will always be adorable on the phone.
Laundry in building, backyard with very little potential (although it does have some sort of volleyball strung net across it), neighbors are uber friendly.

Come on over and see the rooms!
One is big, sunny, faces the street porch. The other is medium, is painted orange, and has a huuuge closet, amongst other fabulous benefits.

YOU WANT TO LIVE HERE!!!!! MAKE EDWARD SOOOO HAPPY!!!
IT WILL BE THE BEST MOVE OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!

Peace!
Yael

CODE GREEN - the Secure Green Future Ballot Initiative - - -

2008-06-30T15:38:25Z

I'm a member if the Green-Rainbow party of Massachusetts. As a result of work accomplished by our Advisory Ballot Working Group, the Mass. Coalition for Healthy Communities and most recently, the Committee for a Secure Green Future:

masschc.org/Secure_Green_Future.php

a question has been written we're working to get on the November Ballot.

This is an example of the work some people are doing to get an " official " message to our ( district ) State Representatives that the "numb" ers commonly being published and worked toward as being acceptable in an effort to mitigate the catastrophic and cataclysmic effects of pumping fossil carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases ( methane etc. ) into our atmosphere are unacceptable.

www.350.org/

There's ambiguity about this particular phrase " phases out tax incentives for energy-intensive projects" noted by many people who have signed and been reluctant to sign because of the language as RENEWABLE energy intensive projects are what we are calling for and certainly will appreciate support and inclusion of tax incentives.
It was written this way as we were attempting to keep the question as short and simple as possible. There is supporting text in the questions and answers on our modest website.

I'd really appreciate getting into a conversation about your thoughts about the effectiveness of a local, non binding public policy ballot initiative, what it will take, as an effort of "we, the people" both politically and in the ways we alter our lifestyles to, eventually, reduce to zero the fossil and nuclear fuels we consume.

I'm also the moderator of:

tribes.tribe.net/greenrainbow

and:

Hey Ya'll
I wanted to put the word out that I'm DJing at The Enormous Room next Wednesday the 16th. I haven't played in that room in a while so I'm very much looking forward to it. It would be marvelous to see some familiar smiling faces.

I'll be playing a range of Neo-Soul, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Deep House.

If the crowd is strong they might even ask me back to play again;)

The Bunny Bar Hop is Tonight!

2008-03-21T14:10:14Z

It's all happening! It's so totally on! The 4th Annual Boston Bunny
Barhop kicks off tonight, and that's that.

So hey, we'll see you and your meticulously-designed rabbit ears there!
(And in the event of inclement weather, please call the Hotline --
there will be some sort of bangin' bunny blowout no matter what. So
there!)

*************************************************************************
***********

Hey you! You are cordially invited to participate in the epic FOURTH
Annual Boston Bunny Barhop! That's right, come spread springtime cheer
whilst making a total ass of yourself!

WHAT: A good ol'-fashioned barhop in bunny ears. We will move together
as a boisterous band of boozed-up bunnies, hopping from bar to bar to
bar to bar to bar, grabbing a real-quick drink at each spot, giving out
high fives, and just generally sticking it to the Man.

WHEN: Easter weekend, of course. Friday, March 21st. First drink of the
night around 9 p.m.

WHERE: Cambridge, MA. Starting-line bar = Miracle of Science Bar &
Grill, 321 Mass Ave.

------- THE SORDID DETAILS -------

GLOWINESS!: We like to establish as glorious a street presence as
possible, so we encourage maximum GLOW-iness! Please deck your bad self
out with glowsticks, LEDs, EL-wire, lasers, flamethrowers, or, like,
whatever!

HOTLINE!: The Bunny Barhop Hotline will be open all night. Participants
may call the number: (508) 265-9141 and get minute-to-minute updates on
the current location of the 'Hop. Come join the rabble at any time
(though we'd love to have you there for the whole ugly drunken affair,
start to finish).

ROUTE!: There's a planned route for the 'Hop, hitting hotspots (and
freaking out squares!) down Mass Ave toward Harvard Square.
Traditionally we get as far as The People's Republik (876 Mass Ave), so
proactive designated drivers may wish to park around this area at the
beginning of the night.

LOVE!: We welcome rabbits of all cliques, circles, & crews. Throw on
your ears, come on down, and make a mass of instant new drunken
friends!

RULES!: There is only one hard n' fast rule (say it with us, people):
RABBIT EARS MANDATORY. Seriously. Fashion them out of construction
paper. Grab them from the Easter aisle of your friendly neighborhood
drugstore. Maim a stuffed animal. Just wear the frickin' ears.

Questions & suggestions may be directed to your friendly rabbit
coordinators:

The Pan Mass Challenge (Cross Posted)

2008-03-03T04:18:44Z

I apologize to anybody reading this again. I want to get the word out.

It started as a ride. It started as a way of remembering a mother or a sister. A father or a brother. A friend or someone they had just met. Less than 20 friends getting together to ride and remember someone that had succumbed to cancer. More than 20 years later and donations totaling over $100 million dollars, it has turned into an event. An event that celebrates those that have survived and for those that will.

We ride in remembrance. We ride for those not yet cured. Those that cannot say, "I am cancer free for one year, two years, three years". We ride for those not old enough to experience a Red Sox World Championship, or a Patriots Super Bowl victory. We ride for those that cannot understand why this has happened to them and for those that never had a chance to fight back. We ride for those who wait for a cure.

I am part of the PMC family – a unified force working toward a common goal. We’re athletes, weekend warriors, or (like myself) have little previous cycling experience. But we all have one thing in common - the commitment to helping others and being part of an effort much larger than ourselves.

I am part of the PMC family - and I need your help. I hate asking for money, so I won’t. Instead, I’m inviting you to a fundraiser.

Please join me in supporting this great cause.

Shimmies for a Cure – Part Deux
March 29, 2008
Somerville City Club
Somerville, MA 02143

A night a great dancing performed by some of New England’s favorite belly dancers.

$25 includes over 20 performers, hors dourves, a chocolate fountain with dipping delights, and non-alcoholic beverages.

There will be raffles, a silent auction, and vending.

The Somerville City Club is located close to Sullivan Square T stop and close to Route 93.

All proceeds from this fundraiser go to the Pan Mass Challenge.

Camp in Tuva

2007-11-28T19:52:31Z

Dear Friends

Thank you for your interest to our music.

Last summer we held a throat singing camp in Tuva.

We had 14 students from around the world - 8 of them were from the US, 2 from Australia
2 from Denmark, 1 from France, 1 from England.
After arriving in Tuva, the students spent 1 week in Kyzyl, the capital city.
They were able to see many tourist attractions, see a Tuvan shaman,
and attend the Naadym - National Harvest Celebration.

The students then went on to spend 1 week in the deep taiga, with members of the Tuvan throat singing group Chirgilchin,
learning various styles of throat singing, traditional Tuvan instruments, as well as the Tuvan language.

This summer, we are trying to get 2 groups to go to Tuva again, in either June or July.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Please check our photos made by Russell Roesner - our student.

Truth is Free and so is my Retreat --Vermont. really!

2007-11-07T18:46:39Z

Hello Cambridge,
Operating on a non-capitalist, non-consumerist, non-competitive paradigm that I hope will help heal the planet I'm looking to network with folks, to extend an invitation to visit Bald Mountain Retreat (www.baldmountainretreat.com) as my guest. Like-minded people who appreciate rustic accommodations are welcome to come up at no charge. (Those who require a private room can inquire about those accommodations as well.)
We’re just being born and I’m looking for folks to come help manifest the vision. There is the opportunity to come stay with a retired naturopathic doctor in a truly amazing natural setting, secluded, idyllic, peaceful... Sharing is best.
Also, if you might like to lead a retreat, please contact me.
Thank you and you are welcome,
Dr David

Simone Forti "Logomotion Writing Workshop" \ project in residence

2007-10-14T00:26:05Z

Caravajal15 residenza dinamica
Orvieto \ Italy
International Projects 2008

Hello!
We are happy to announce that Simone Forti will be again the guest artist of our residence, for giving her intensive residential workshop “Logomotion Writing Workshop”.
The intensive workshop with Simone Forti is in the ambit of our international projects 2008, and will be from March 8 to 15 2008 in the beautiful Etruscan city of Orvieto, in mid Italy.
The workshop is limited to 16 participants.
The intensive workshop will be held at the headquarters of the cultural Association Caravajal15 residenza dinamica, in the prestigious sixteenth century rooms of the Palazzo Caravajal-Simoncelli.
The fee is 400 euros, which includes also hospitality, reception and meals.
Application for registration is open from October 15th.
For information write to: info@contactfestival.it, or telephone to +39 0763.341479.
Info and texts below.

Simone Forti \ Logomotion Writing Workshop
Intensive residential workshop
8-15 March 2008
maximum 16 participants
7-day workshop, plus one day pause
fee 400 euros (including meals and lodging)
pre-registration: 150 euros

Logomotion Writing Workshop
Sometimes our words don't have access to what we know in our bones.
In this workshop we will be improvising moving and speaking, and we will be writing.
While our writing will stimulate our imagination and support our improvisations, our improvisations will enrich our writing with a kinesthetic timing to phrasing and windows on sudden thoughts and memories.
Our activities will include studio sessions of improvisational moving and speaking, spontaneous writing, walks in town, with partners, for conversations about matters large and small, and private times to write and to craft our writings and to read them to each other.
We will borrow from the writing practice of Natalie Goldberg as found in her books “Writing Down the Bones” and “Wild Mind”, discovering the associations that gather spontaneously around a chosen point of departure.
As our movement work will include many activities in partners and in groups, some of our writing will include more than one voice, focusing on the relationships between the thoughts of different people.
A goal will be to write with wild mind and intention, and with awareness of world.

Jennifer Dunning writes in her 1991 New York Times review: “Simone Forti presented her first dance program in 1960 and has since then had a steadily increasing influence on post-modernist choreographers interested in exploring ‘natural’ or non-formalist movement and dance”.

Band needs Trombone and Tuba/Sousaphone

2007-08-13T23:26:37Z

Emperor Norton wants you!!!

Our group, Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band, has begun it’s slow but insistent assault on the area, but we need more soldiers in our army of awesomeness. www.myspace.com/ensmb

Our repertoire currently consists of original compositions inspired by Klezmer, Second line brass bands, pirates, circus music and Charles Mingus, along with traditionals ranging from gypsy folk songs to ragtime to 19th century marches, and we throw in the occasional zany arrangement of a fun rock or pop song just to spruce things up.

In short, we call ourselves a modern circus band, and for good reason! For we accompany/are accompanied by a rotating cast of circus performers including dancers, aerialists, sideshow performers, and whatever other freaky people we can round up. In addition to having our very own troupe, the Madcap Rumpus Society ( www.myspace.com/madcaprumpus ), we have also been invited to perform with other autonomous local burlesque groups and performance artists.

You should join us! If you are a competent musician with enthusiasm for this project. You shouldn’t be afraid of dressing in a costume of sorts (which you get some input on), or playing for random events or in strange locations. (though we do play regular club gigs as well). Familiarity with any of the above styles is great, but not required. Also, improvisation skills are a plus, both for soloing and adlibbing parts. Basically, if you’ve got the horn, and you’ve got some talent and you have the right personality and attitude, we’d like to add you to our menagerie.

Feel free to hit me up with any questions you might have.

Davis Square knitting July 21st

2007-07-13T21:36:00Z

I know some of you knit and crochet.

Come on down to collobratively knit little sleeves around the trees
and poles around Davis Square, Somerville between 11- and 5pm - This
is for Art-Beast" (http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/programs/
artbeat/2007/schedule.html )-- so there will be lots going on... :-)

We'll be setting up to craft in the in the sunshine (raindate July
21), so grab or bring a ball of yarn and some double-point knitting
needles (or Crochet hooks!) and some friends and knit little colored
bands of yarn-lichen around everything we have enough time and yarn
for. After the festival, the knitting will be cut off, and sewn into
a full tapestry for display.

This project is inspired by the work of Knitta Please
( www.knittaplease.com ) and other graffiti knitters, but I wanted to
organize an experiement where knitters/crochetters collaboratively
create together instead of somethng that happens under-cover... Bring
your friends or make new ones, and pass the yarn around the tree or
pole from knitter to knitter, creating a piece where the knitting
doesn't stop when your section ends...(though alternative
explorations and methods are encouraged!)

To participate, find "Angry Candy" -- a bejeweled rickshaw full of
yarn, and other supplies. Near the Bike Racks Behind the T on the
Seven Hills Park/Somerville Theatre in Davis Square (booth 116).
Drop an email if you're up for it, or have an inclination to help out.

=-=-From the ArtBeat Program-=-=

<a href="">All Day — Knitting</a>
There will be two knitting groups at ArtBeat this year! At the
“Beauty and the Fiber Beast” table, festival goers can feel fibers
from beasts (camels, yaks, goats, dogs and silkworm) as well as
fibers from non-beasts (soy, bamboo, seaweed, corn). See how yarn is
made, get instruction or tips, or knit/crochet your own small beast.
Meanwhile Sarah Davitt will be organizing knitters to create “yarn-
lichen” to display on trees, statues and fence poles throughout the
festival.

your feedback please!

2007-06-12T15:16:46Z

Hey wonderful tribe community members - I'd love your opinions!

I have been developing a holistic community center concept, and I’m looking for some feedback from you, the community, on my ideas. If you’re so inclined to assist my market research, I’d greatly appreciate your responses to the informal survey below. Thank you! Feel free to message me privately.

The concept is a holistic community center preferably located in the south eastern side of Somerville accessible via car, bus and walking distance from the T. The mission of the center is to build community and co-create space for healing and vitality in the city through holistic services and movement education. The services and classes offered at the center hold a common theme: creating vitality through the fusion of mind, body & spirit. The center offers:
1) session/office and classroom space for rent to holistic practitioners (any modality)
2) session/office and studio space for classes and events for rent to movement educators (dance, nia, tai chi, etc.. teachers)
3) opportunities for practitioners and educators to collaborate on events & offerings
4) event and meeting space for rent to groups, troupes and the general public
5) practice space for groups and troupes
6) opportunities for local artisans to show & sell their work
7) ongoing classes & events available for the public
8) books, products, art relevant to the mission for sale to the general public

Shimmy in the Shadows, July 1, Arlington MA

2007-05-23T18:42:46Z

Shimmy in the Shadows: a gothic belly dance workshop and hafli!
July 1 at the Regent Underground Theatre, 7 Medford Street, Arlington

Workshop with Aepril Schaile, 12:30 - 2:00

Of a Darker Veil...

The Veil: long a symbol of feminine beauty and mystery, used by bellydancers
as a flowing prop and extension of costuming. In Gothic Belly Dance, we move
with the veil into darker places, infusing the silk with the occult powers
of shapeshifting; disappearing and reappearing behind and before it, in a
dance of mystery and revelation; whirling in a flight of ethereal drama and
otherworldliness...In this workshop, you will be initiated into the magic of
Gothic veilwork, learning to use the flow of the silk to bring forth the
dark feminine beauty within. Please dress in comfortable clothing, and bring
a veil (preferably china silk, or silk chiffon, which floats beautifully in
the space) of approximately 3 yards in length.
http://www.aeprilschaile.com/

The workshop will be followed by a hafli from 2:30-5:30 featuring many local favorites as well as out of town guest performers, as well as open floor dancing provided by Ceremony's DJ Lost Boy.

The workshop will be limited to 15 participants so it is strongly suggested that dancers register in advance. You can do so using paypal here:

or contact me for other methods of payment.

Shimmy spookily,

The 3rd Annual BOSTON BUNNY BARHOP!

2007-04-03T17:38:17Z

Hey you! You are cordially invited to participate in the epic Third Annual Boston Bunny Barhop! That's right, come spread springtime cheer whilst making a total ass of yourself!

WHAT: A good ol'-fashioned barhop in bunny ears. We will move together as a boisterous band of boozed-up bunnies, hopping from bar to bar to bar to bar to bar, grabbing a real-quick drink at each spot, giving out high fives, and just generally sticking it to the Man.

WHEN: Easter weekend, of course. Friday, April 6th. First drink of the night around 9 p.m.

WHERE: Cambridge, MA. Starting-line bar = Miracle of Science Bar & Grill, 321 Mass Ave.

------- THE SORDID DETAILS -------

GLOWINESS!: We like to establish as glorious a street presence as possible, so we encourage maximum GLOW-iness! Please deck your bad self out with glowsticks, LEDs, EL-wire, lasers, flamethrowers, or, like, whatever!

AFTERPARTY!: 'Top secret' location of the official Boston Bunny Barhop Afterparty to be announced during the 'Hop.

------- THE FINE PRINT -------

The Bunny Barhop Hotline will be open all night. Participants may call the number: (508) 265-9141 and get minute-to-minute updates on the current location of the 'Hop. Come join the rabble at any time (though we'd love to have you there for the whole ugly drunken affair, start to finish).

There's a planned route for the 'Hop, hitting hotspots (and freaking out squares!) down Mass Ave toward Harvard Square. Traditionally we get as far as The People's Republik (876 Massachusetts Ave) before heading to the Afterparty. (Proactive designated drivers may wish to park around this area at the beginning of the night.)

We welcome rabbits of all cliques, circles, & crews. Throw on your ears, come on down, and make a mass of instant new drunken friends!

There is only one hard n' fast rule (say it with us, people): RABBIT EARS MANDATORY. Seriously. Fashion them out of construction paper. Grab them from the Easter aisle of your friendly neighborhood drugstore. Maim a stuffed animal. Just wear the frickin' ears.

Questions & suggestions may be directed to your friendly rabbit coordinators:

Free Tantra Classes during March 07

2007-03-10T01:07:09Z

I lead a weekly Tantra class in Union Square, Somerville.
Third Life Studio, 33 Somerville Ave, Somerville.
For the rest of the month, I'm making these classes available for free.

The doors open at 8. We usually get going around 8:15.

This is a drop-in class, and its designed for beginners and people who have little or no experience, but it's also fun for people who have been around tantra for some time. It's very mellow and not terribly sexual. Most of what I present is breath and movement. I'm always happy to talk about the more direct techniques as well.

Just come in clothes that you can move in. Sweat-pants and tee-shirt are perfect. No need to bring anything else.

For more information visit www.newenglandtantra.com.

URGENT REPOST: FOSTER HOME NEEDED!!!!!

2007-02-15T04:56:06Z

Hi everyone!

I am reposting this in the hope that someone may be able to help me and my gorgeous dog Socrates out. It's a big one ... I am moving back to Australia from Boston and want desperately to take my baby with me. However, all the quarantine places in Australia are filled up for the next 5-6 months. Since I can only legally (well, legally-esque - i think i'm already over my visa limitations) stay in america for another month, I cannot wait with him. So, I am hoping to find someone out there who loves animals and is willing to foster Socrates during the time it takes to secure him a spot in quarantine.

He is a beautiful fox terrier/beagle mix, with a truly old soul and the heart of an angel. He LOVES humans, and would bring so much love and affection to you. He's nearly 5, in good health, and I would of course provide a much remuneration as I possibly could, incl his food/vet bills.

It's a big ask, I know, but I have to try and believe that there is someone out there who may be able to help me and my beloved get through this. I've had him for a year, and cannot imagine my life without him. If you are interested, or know anyone who may be, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know asap! Thankyou!

Hoping and loving,
Lauren and Socrates

BIBLICAL use of MAGIC-MUSHROOMS.

2006-10-02T17:39:00Z

MANNA AMBROSIA/SOMA/TEONANACATL
Hell-Low from Heaven-High; I am author/publisher of "MANNA" the book documenting the
BIBLICAL use of MAGIC-MUSHROOMS.
“Manna” Explores the evidence that Christ was the leader of a Pagan Cult teaching a revival/renaissance of an ancient mushroom ritual learned in Egypt by Moses and Christ, a mushroom religion known also to the Maya of ancient Mesoamerica, and around the world. The Manna-Book asks if this knowledge was kept secret by an elite caste of priests within the Kabalistic Jewish Rabbis until such a time as Christ came and taught it to the masses.

Exodus 16:14-24 indicates that MANNA was inevitably a MUSHROOM.
It was a small round thing in the morning dew, it bred larva, and would melt to mush if not dried. KING JAMES VERSION.
All mushroom pickers know that fly’s eggs cause larvae/worms in mushrooms. The one food most notorious for being full of worms.

Daniel 5:3-5 with Exodus 16:32 and Hebrews 9:4
indicates that the mushroom was a DRUG. After sacking the temple in Jerusalem and stealing the Ark-of-the-Covenant, the King of Babylon and his table drank from the golden cup containing the holy “MANNA” they had visions within the hour….. Psilocybin takes 30-40 minutes to induce visions.

Hebrews 9:4 makes it clear that MANNA was the most holy thing to Israelites, kept in A POT OF GOLD in the ARK OF THE COVENANT, in the MOST HOLY OF HOLYS. So sacred is the Manna that only the High Priest has access to it and only on one day of the year (Yom Kippur), which comes 3 days before the harvest moon (Hallows Eve).

Psalm 78:24-25 calls MANNA FOOD OF ANGELS, just as MAYAN/INCA PRIESTS from Meso-America called it TEONANACATL FOOD OF THE GODS.
MANNA is an Egyptian word, not Hebrew or Aramaic, meaning;
The BREAD OF GOD. This is what Moses called it in Exodus 16:15.
“Bread Of God” means “FOOD OF GOD”, which is the same meaning of TEONANACATL (Mayan), and AMBROSIA (Greek), and SOMA (Hindu) a word for mushroom tea, all these words mean “Spiritual Food”.
Coca and Tobacco Leaves found in Pharaohs tombs suggest it was ancestors of Mayan/Inca Priests who brought MUSHROOMS to Egypt.

John 2:6-9 indicates that Jesus made water into wine by boiling mushrooms (Mushroom-Tea), the waterpots were made of stone, not clay, (stone pots were used for cooking, clay pots used for storing water). These pots already contained 2-3 firkins of a substance before the pots were filled with water.
A “Firkin” is an Old-English measurement meaning a fourth part. Half to three-quarters of fresh mushrooms with water makes a potent tea. Tea is the safest way to consume field mushrooms, killing dangerous bacteria like E. Coli. In the Atharva Veda, the Hindus called this Tea SOMA. Greeks called mushroom jelly AMBROSIA.
Those who drank the water made into wine said it was the most potent intoxicant (St. John 2:10). The Bible tells us that Jesus making water into wine was the “beginning of miracles” … in other words no one saw any miracles until drinking the wine made from water. (St. John 2:11).

“MANA” is an EGYPTIAN WORD, not HEBREW or ARAMAIC, Meaning; “The BREAD OF GOD”. Moses, Christ, and Joseph, The favorite son of Israel, were all educated in Egypt. Solomon married Pharaoh’s daughter, and Abraham found his God at a place called SHECHEM (Sekhem), which is another Egyptian word for MANNA. TEONANACATL [Maya] = SOMA [Hindu] = AMBROSIA / BROMA-THEON [Greek] = MANNA [Egyptian/Hindu] It can be no coincidence that the MAYAN, EGYPTIAN, GREEK, HINDU, and ISRAELITE words for the mushroom all mean exactly the same thing: “THE BREAD OF GOD”.

MANNA was round, was found on the ground in the dew, would melt to mush if not dried or collected on time, and would breed larvae. All unique characteristics of mushrooms. When dried it was like “WAFERS OF BREAD” and it’s color was like “CORIANDER SEED”, the consistency and color of dried mushrooms, as described in Exodus Ch. 16.
Other psychedelics used in the Bible include, of course, Cannabis, Mandrake and others. This book focuses on Mushrooms: “The Global Sacrament”.
Be advised that the author does not advocate the non-ritual use of mushrooms or in any way place their importance above that of love, “Seek first the kingdom of love and all other things shall be added to you” [Christ].

Anyone can learn tips and skills to use when performing oral sex. What makes you GREAT at it is having the desire and the confidence to do it. That`s what this workshop is about. We`re going to talk about common anxieties surrounding bedroom performance, ways to build your bedroom confidence as well as techniques and how to make peforming oral sex something you both enjoy.

Sexual confidence is about power, and that power comes from knowing what you bring to the table.

Cape Wind myths and facts

2006-05-19T07:10:44Z

Here is the Op Ed that appeared in today's Cape Cod Times:

Cape Wind myths and facts
Cape Cod Times
May 16, 2006

By PHILIP WARBURG and SUSAN REID

Opponents of the Cape Wind project have poured millions of dollars into a campaign aimed at substituting myth for fact regarding a project that could put Massachusetts where it should be - at the leading edge of efforts to promote clean energy.

Sadly, Sen. Edward Kennedy has become one of the more active purveyors of this anti-Cape Wind mythology, defying his own proud record as a longtime champion of sound energy policy.

Isn't it time to move beyond misleading assertion to an honest reckoning with a project that could bring Massachusetts to the forefront of our battle against climate change? Let's look at a few of the myths recently advanced by the anti-Cape Wind campaign:

Myth No. 1: Cape Wind unfairly benefits from public subsidies. Fact: Federal and state subsidies for renewable energy projects have been created for the express purpose of helping wind and other forms of clean energy compete with long-subsidized conventional fuels, such as coal and oil, as well as nuclear power. Even the anti-Cape Wind ''Alliance'' claims to support the development of renewable energy, and Senator Kennedy has a proud record of supporting federal clean energy subsidies. To support these incentives in principle and then cast stones at an entrepreneur who relies on them in planning a major pioneering renewable energy project smacks of gross hypocrisy.

Myth No. 2: Cape Wind is getting unfair access to federal land and waters. Fact: At the time Cape Wind was first proposed, there was no mechanism for an offshore wind farm developer to make payments to the federal government for occupying undersea public lands. There also was no system for leasing those lands for wind energy development on a competitive basis - though, as a practical matter, no other wind developer with an expressed interest in siting a facility in Nantucket Sound existed at the time.

The Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 finally established requirements for royalty payments by wind energy projects in federal waters. While the Act ensured that the two pending offshore wind proposals - Cape Wind and another project off Long Island - could proceed with their review rather than start again from scratch, Cape Wind was not exempted from paying royalties equivalent to those that will be required for any other approved wind farm sited in federal waters. Cape Wind, which stands ready to pay these royalties, has no financial edge over other wind developers.

Myth No. 3: Cape Wind is not being adequately reviewed. Fact: This myth permeates anti-Cape Wind rhetoric and flies in the face of the regulatory endurance test that the project has undergone so far. For nearly five years, Cape Wind's proponents have complied with a daunting array of regulatory and permitting processes involving 17 federal, state and local agencies.

This has far exceeded the scrutiny that any coal or oil-fired power plant has been subjected to, despite the immeasurably greater environmental hazards posed by fossil fuel extraction, transportation, combustion, and waste disposal.

Given Cape Wind's scrupulous adherence to this lengthy review process, it is galling that the project's opponents, urged on by Senator Kennedy, are trying to maneuver the U.S. Congress to hand the Massachusetts governor unqualified veto power over the siting of this project in Nantucket Sound. This veto power, inserted during secret House-Senate conference committee negotiations over the pending $8.7 billion Coast Guard reauthorization bill, is an affront to sound public policy and makes a mockery of a rigorous multi-year project review.

Myth No. 4: Cape Wind will damage the economy of the Cape and Islands. Fact: There is considerable evidence from Scandinavia, California and the Pacific Northwest that the opposite is true - that wind farms attract visitors and tourists rather than repelling them. While we won't know for sure exactly what the tourism impacts of Cape Wind will be until the project is up and running, the opponents' dire warnings of a tourism slump simply aren't borne out by relevant experience elsewhere.

With gasoline prices once again topping $3 per gallon and studies pointing conclusively toward dramatic global warming trends, the shift to renewable energy is a mounting imperative. Calm, careful completion of the Cape Wind review can open the door to Massachusetts' renewable energy frontier. Stealth measures designed to jettison that review, and the Cape Wind project, should be roundly rejected by our leaders in the U.S. Congress.

Philip Warburg is president and Susan Reid is a staff attorney at the Conservation Law Foundation.

Take Action Save Cape Wind!

2006-05-18T13:54:35Z

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ? Government at large is going against the will of the people ! What is the problem with these politicos?

http://www.capewind.org/

Please call and write to your Members of Congress and ask that they vote against the Coast Guard bill until the Stevens' Amendment has been removed from the Coast Guard Reauthorization bill.

http://www.capewind.org/

The Stevens amendment attempts to block the Cape Wind project for offshore Nantucket Sound in Massachusetts. The amendment would allow the Governor veto power over wind farms but would not provide the same veto power over nuclear, coal, oil or other power generation projects. Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R), who has stated that he opposes the Cape Wind project, would have the ability to veto the Cape Wind project without having to cite any reason.
