By Gabriel Cousens Intimacy takes us into the mystery of life; it is not about safety or security. It is about the alchemical process of transformation. It takes us to the frontiers of human existence and brings us face-to-face with our angels and demons. It may activate our deepest thought formsour issues with our family of origin, our personal patterns, who we are, our ability to express and receive love, and the essence of what spiritual life is about. The sacred relationship is our journey into the unknown. Opening up to the risk of intimacy is part of the evolution of human consciousness. We are challenged to maintain and grow within a live, turned-on connection and love, and to free ourselves from old patterns of pain. In the process, we also need to create space for the other to exist and to grow. At a high level of intimacy, we support each other to become the fullest expressions of that which we are meant to bethe wild female and the wild male. To become the original of whom we are meant to be. We, as partners, have the choice and ability to give space to the other to become their full, original self.This is very different from the typical kind of relationship, in which we try to tame the other person into our idea of who he or she should be for us. In intimacy, our role is to help the other reach their full depth as a human being. Intimacy is an alchemical process of transformation. It invokes the presence of the Divine. We call this the alchemical merging into the ONE. The definition of intimacy is maintaining an open heart, in love, with the other over time. In intimacy, we have two essences that must be balanced. The female essence, which can be in a male or a female person, is the Rainbow Radiance of who we arethe full flow and dance of Love. It wants to shine, to be seen, and needs to be recognized and to be known. The female essence is the flower and the joy of fullness. The male essence, which can also be in a male or a female person, is to die into the unknowna total focus on oneness, dissolving into the Nothing. So, one is about emptiness and the other is about fullness. And these need to match for a relationship to really work. In the Hindu paradigm, it is Shiva and Shakti. Shakti is the play of consciousness in the world. Shiva is the nothing. It just sits there and witnesses the world, unchanging; it is absolute consciousness, itself. These characteristics help us to understand the differences. When the male and female essences get together, there is a merging of light and consciousness. This alchemical energy is the essence of real, deep merging with God. Now, lets talk about communication. The female essence needs one thing: to know its loved. If the male essence does not communicate to the female that she is loved, things dont work so well. What the male essence needs is to know that it is succeeding and not failing. The difference in needs causes the male and female essences to communicate on different levels. All communicationin relationship, in lovemaking, and in everyday lifehas to hold these messages. This is what we call meta-communication. By understanding these essences, we can give and receive in a way that uplifts the other person and allows space for them to be their full, authentic self. In order for this to be possible, however, both people have to be operating from the same level of intention, or awareness. To live erotically means to be and see God in all things. True eros is the key to living erotically in the non-sexual areas of our lives. That is the point! The erotic becomes the Divine Kiss that powers our desire for God, and at the same time is the result of God-Merging. Once the yearning starts, we are willing to take it to higher and higher levels, which, in my book, Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini, I call the Six Foundations: 1) Spiritual nutrition (food) and spiritual fasting 2) Building the life force (prana) with pranayama, yoga, sacred dance, etc. 3) Service and charity (when we give, we are connecting) 4) Being inspired by a spiritual teacher (satsang), support by a spiritual group, reading the great literature, jnana yoga 5) Silence, meditation, praying, mantra repetition, and chanting 6) Shaktipat and the awakening of Kundalini energy. 2007 Elite Books.

By Dennis Diehl Just down the street from where I have my office is a Lutheran Church with a sign outside on the lawn. “Pray for Israel-Psalm 83″. That Psalm has come up a lot around here in the Bible Belt. So often Christian churches will seek out the Old Testament, Hebraic Psalms to reinforce a current insecurity that needs to be address in ways not necessarily spoken of by Jesus or encouraged in the New Testament. The Old Testament, for Christians, is where they go to discern the mind of God, when the love of Jesus just won’t cut it, and there is work to be done..”In Him.” Let’s take a look at this Psalm and what it evidently means to the Lutherans. Psalm Chapter 83 1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. Meaning: “Hey God, are you payin attention to us! Kick their asses for Jesus sake, Amen” 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. Meaning: “Everyone is reacting to being attacked by Israel. It’s not practical to do the “Love your enemies, Jesus thing at this time. They are defending themselves from rockets and bombs, bullets and depleted uranium. They are upset, angry and wanting to kick our ass for doing this. These rebels, lots of the Christian there too, hate you, so kick their asses too, in Jesus name.” 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. Meaning: ” We alone are the chosen ones. We KNOW this. These guys are smart and are trying to get around just holding still while we bomb them into eternity. They get together and try to figure out just who the guys are that are targeting their homes, hospitals and cities…bastards, hold still!” 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. Meaning: ” The Palestinians have noticed how Israel, who wants to be a nation itself, won’t let others be a nation themselves. The people have noticed how those routed years ago when Israel came back to the land are being pushed into the sea as if they were not a people. The Palestinians have noticed how their not being any more in remembrance seems to be a projection of Israeli fears. Where’s Rodney King when you need him!” 5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: Meaning: “So the got together to defend themselves, their homes, families and children, the hope of their own future and said, ‘excuse me, please don’t kill me,’ or we’re going to have to protect ourselves.’” 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. Meaning: “These are the bastards that are threatening Israel and have been for 3000 years which may indicate that no one seems to have the inherent ability to overcome tribalism, clan loyalties or national pride, even if a simple DNA test would should them all to be cousins, if not brothers.” 9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Meaning: “Cut them down, as you would with a sword, or just drive a tent peg into their heads while they sleep, because it’s just cool guy stuff and makes us feel poweful and godly. Of course, we’ll do it, but say that you, God, told us to.” 10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. Meaning: “Grind ‘em up for fertilizer, which is all they are good for, compared to US, who are the flowers of the earth that should thrive in the dirt of their decomposed corpses.” 11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. Meaning: “Keep grinding those bastards into dust for doing unto us what we first wish to do to them. And again, leave it really up to us, and we’ll give you the credit God.” 14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm Meaning: “Let it rip Lord! burn them all up. We love fire just like you as the death of choice. That will teach them. Make life hell for them and terrify them, for us, in Jesus name and don’t bring up that Sermon on the Mount stuff quite yet.” 16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. Meaning: “Rip out their souls and screw up their minds big time. Make them doubt their own sanity and feelings about how life should be where they live, based on where they were born and what fear, shame and guilt based beliefs they had forced on them as children. This will surely make them apologize for being so stupid and come running to the Lord, and to Jesus, who show their great love by beathing the dung out of those that disobey them. For Jesus also will return with a Rod of Iron, which will ensure even MORE love of GOD on the planet and all men will stand and say, ‘Thank you Sir. May I have another.’” 17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: Meaning: “We know we asked you do this so they return to you (vs. 16), but we really don’t want them returning anywhere. We are the chosen ones, not them. If you have chosen them, unchoose them now. Confuse them so badly that they can’t think and let them be miserable FOREVER! In fact, first shame them, and then kill them for us, in Jesus name of course. Amen.” 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. Meaning: “That all the nations of the earth may know that our God can kick your god’s ass and we intend to spread our God over the entire planet, before they spread their god all over the planet. Let it be “God Wars…You’re Empire Strikes Back.” And with fire, and sword, death and agony of heart for those bastards shall we win them to thee, in love born of hate and peace born of slaughter ‘In Him’. Amen. Ok, Now you can bring up all that Sermon on the Mount stuff if you feel you have to.” How about “Pray for Israel, and let’s not leave out the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iragi’s, Iranians and other generally human types who have lives, loves, children and a limited time to experiece conscious awareness as human being on the planet.” Oh I know it won’t fit on the sign, but it’s a better command to those of us who have to drive by the Church and wonder why the Christians only pray for Israel in this whole stinking mess brough to you by the same people who raise your gas prices on a daily basis and insist everyone hates our freedom.

By Jeremiah P. Huck Time heals…….it’s been a few years since the 9/11 trauma and it has taken me this long to find a way to help the healing process of The Big City! You see, I’m a professional shaman who lives within driving distance of Manhattan. However, unlike other healers and the many others who personally went into ‘ground zero’ to offer their services, I didn’t go. I knew that I was too sensitive to handle the initial massive trauma that must have been all around. I feared that the scar would stay with me for life. My wife and I did some shopping on the Jersey side of the Hudson many months later and I was shocked to find smoke still rising above Lower Manhattan. I knew then that I had made the right decision not to go earlier…….it was just too much for me! Now that some time has passed, and re-construction is in it’s early phase…..this article is my small contribution the the healing process. Although I was born in Brooklyn, I left there as a very young child. I have spent most of my life in NYC suburbs, mostly in Long Island and currently in a very small town just north of the city, along the Hudson River. So when I visit Manhattan, really I’m just another tourist………I visit but don’t really live there. However, the city always stays in the background of my life. I can sense that it is there, and realize it is a major factor in many people’s lives around me. Also, at least to me…to say I’m a New Yorker implies some kind of connection the the city. I don’t think my sense of connection to The Big Apple is really unique…..the World uses it as it’s financial center. So I suspect that in some way it is a background factor to the The Global Community. We know that the effects of 9/11 were felt around the world. With this in mind….my spirit guides suggest we use this re-building process to re-think about what to build. Do we simply re-construct the World’s Financial Center, and get back to business as usual, or move beyond that? Frankly, I think the shake up was strong enough to get us moving in a slightly new direction. Evolution is a slow process, but we are at one of it’s doorways right now! The health and mental fields have been intergrating holism for many years now.The business world has been very stuck in older, more fragmented approaches to planning and operation. This time of reconstruction is also a real chance to bring [ spirit to work ]. It’s a chance to create a more holistic, global and intergrated business model. Holism makes everthing Holy, yes even business. This whole business modelstates that money and business are justanother aspect of Spirit. So business holism is not about going broke…..and heading off to a monastery, but actually making more money, and creating even more success. This newer model suggests that if you can create meaningful inner changes then you can also create outer improvements. So Manhattan……take your place again in the Global Business Community, be even bigger and brighter then before. Guide the wayto Liberty and take holism as your new torch! Good Luck!

By Nathan Wei Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture to relieve pain as well as to cure disease. During an acupuncture session, a practitioner will insert thin needles into the skin at any one of more than 2,000 carefully defined meridian points. The ancient theory of why acupuncture is effective is that needle insertion restores qi (life force) flow throughout the channels of the body. When qi is at optimal levels, there is harmony with the universal forces of yin and yang. This leads to improved health and relief of pain. While the traditional acupuncture approach has been to use the needles by themselves, modern acupuncturists may rotate the needles or apply low levels of electric current to improve the effectiveness of the procedure. Sometimes acupressure is also given during the same session. Moxibustion which is the use of herbs that are burned during the procedure is also used. Some practitioners also use cupping which is a method where suction cups are applied to meridian points. Theories as to how acupuncture relieves pain have included the gate theory which suggests that pain signals travel along neural pathways through gates. If a competing stimulus such as acupuncture needles, then pain signals are blocked. Another theory has to do with endorphin release by the brain due to acupuncture stimulus. Another theory is that acupuncture helps produce analgesic neurotransmitters in the spinal cord. One large study of acupuncture in osteoarthritis of the knee was performed at the University of Maryland. Researchers compared traditional Chinese acupuncture with sham acupuncture (using either retractable needles or real needles inserted into false pressure points). The study group consisted of 570 patients who reported limited benefits from anti-inflammatory medication and exercise. The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in both pain measures as well as mobility measures in patients receiving real acupuncture versus sham acupuncture. The authors concluded that True traditional Chinese acupuncture is safe and effective for reducing pain and improving function in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis who have moderate or greater pain despite background therapy. Some notes of caution. The effect of acupuncture in relieving pain is not huge. The effects are modest and do take time. The second issue is that the placebo effect undoubtedly enters into the equation. An interesting study from Dr. George Lewith in Southampton, England used positron emission technology to demonstrate that brain blood flow was altered in a different manner with real acupuncture compared with sham acupuncture therefore validating the concept of a real pain modulating effect of acupuncture on the brain. Unfortunately, acupuncture does take a long time to work. Dr. Hochberg from the University of Maryland states, You really have to give acupuncture six months in order to get maximum benefits from it. Another downside is the cost. Generally, the charge is anywhere from 60 to 100 dollars a session. Expect that it will cost about $2,000.00. Fortunately, some insurance carriers will cover the cost. Acupuncture will not be a substitute for conventional treatment. You should use it in conjunction with your regular arthritis therapy. Make sure you see a licensed practitioner.

By Armand Dupuis Diet Pills Taking diet pills is definitely not an effective weight loss strategy, because as soon as you stop taking them, all the weight you lost will return with a vengeance, because… Most diet pills are nothing more than drugs which act as appetite suppressants, and the side effects can be devastating or even deadly so its not a good way to lose fat. Most of them will usually act as effective appetite suppressants, which means that you won’t be hungry and will stop eating. Of course you are going to lose some weight, but… When you are not eating, you are on a starvation diet, and your body responds by slowing down your metabolism, because it is being deprived of essential nutrients which it needs to survive. Eventually, you have to stop taking the pills or you’ll die. When you do stop, your hunger will return with a vengeance, because your body is trying to replace the nutrients it’s been lacking, and just look at the… Side Effects of Diet Pills Many of these diet pills are addictive and some of the side effects are high blood pressure, liver irritation, headaches, dizziness, sexual difficulties, increased heart rate, diarrhea, and even death, plus… Guaranteed, you’ll regain all the weight you lost and then some, because now your metabolism is much slower than before, so in other words… Diet pills make you gain weight in the long run, and also, just look at the harm to your body from both the starvation and the side effects. Thats too high a price to pay for temporary weight loss. Instead… Replace Diet Pills with SupplementsFor healthy weight loss! Healthy supplements are much better than diet pills for healthy weight loss. Also, supplements make a safe appetite suppressant without slowing down your metabolism, and… Make Diet Pills Obsolete! People take diet pills in order to stop eating, but eating is required for survival. The reality is that you need to stop eating the junk foods, however… That’s a lot easier said than done, as you are craving food because your body is asking you for nutrients which is not in the food youre eating. The reality is that… You can never satisfy your cravings, without giving your body “what it is craving”. Healthy Supplements Satisfies Your Cravings When you take the right kind of supplements, your body becomes more nutritionally satisfied, which greatly decreases your cravings, so youll lose some fat, without slowing down your metabolism, and you won’t regain all the weight you’ve lost. But here’s the problem… Not all Supplements are Created Equal In order for your supplements to be an effective appetite suppressant, you need to take only “Quality Supplements” that your body can actually absorb, because… When you take most vitamin and mineral supplements for example, it’s common knowledge that your body will only absorb about 4 to 5% of the nutrients in them. It doesn’t seem to matter if you buy your supplements from a drugstore, a health food store, or if they are prescribed by a doctor. What’s the point in spending money for supplements, if your body can’t absorb them, or if the nutrients you body is lacking is not in them to begin with? Most people take lots of supplements, but they are still craving food all the time, and that means… The supplements which you are taking are not making you nutritionally satisfied; otherwise you wouldn’t have all those cravings and keep gaining fat. Breakthrough Super Supplements In the Slim and America Weight-Loss Project, we only recommend supplements which are absorbed by the body, otherwise whats the use? Over the years weve come across a variety of different supplements which will affect different body functions, and just recently, weve come across a line of super supplements which act as effective appetite suppressants, because… They are being fully absorbed by the body, and therefore making the body more nutritionally satisfied, otherwise, the cravings would remain. Not only are our students who are taking these supplements eating a lot less, but they are also reporting a lot more energy, and a lot more stamina to get through the day. The net result is… Faster weight loss Faster and safer weight-loss results are now possible without slowing down your metabolism, so that more effective fat burning takes place 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Weight loss that stays off! Everybody is different, so the trick is for you to find the supplements which will give you the best results. Today there are many supplement manufacturers who have top quality products, however… There are many others, who make misleading claims for products that are not only totally useless, but some can also be very dangerous to your health, so how can you know for sure whats best for you? The answer is simple: if the products solve your problem, Great, if not, theyre a waste of money and you should get your money back. If you take a good comprehensive general supplement and are eating at least reasonably healthy, youll become more nutritionally satisfied and it should take a lot of your food cravings away, otherwise you are not absorbing them and they are a waste of your hard earned money. Becoming more nutritionally satisfied is the only way to get rid of food cravings in order to lose weight permanently. Diet pills on the other hand, work exactly the opposite and slows down your metabolism 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so… Only a natural weight loss system together with healthy and effective diet supplements is the answer to staying permanently slim, fit, and healthy. Isn’t your health your greatest asset? Not only is losing weight in a healthy way, real easy once you know how, but more importantly… The weight stays off!!! What’s the point in losing and regaining the same 20 or 30 lbs. over and over again? That’s what happens when you slow down your metabolism by taking diet pills, instead of losing the fat the right way to begin with,. Why Not Lose It 4 Life Only by following a safe and easy system like the Slim America weight-loss program, will you be able to burn the fat much faster, and lose the weight for the rest of your life, so diet pills are just not an option.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Daniel_Johns]Daniel Johns We are living in such an age where many expensive things have become necessary for us to get along with this ever changing world. Sometimes, our lavish lifestyle and incessant demands urge us to go for various loans and we suddenly find ourselves loaded with multiple debts. Soon, these loans get accumulated into a large amount and you find yourself in a dire situation. This accumulation may lead you to some other problems of defaults, arrears, County Court Judgments, and bankruptcy. Bad credit loans can easily revive you from such shaky financial situations. You can use the loan amount of a bad credit loan, the way you want. There can be various reasons like home improvement, wedding expenses, debt consolidation, to purchase a new car or home etc. Its up to you to choose the loan plan as per your needs and circumstances. You need to offer collateral against the loan amount to avail a secured bad credit loan which comes with low interest rate, longer repayment period and easier terms and conditions. If you dont have any collateral to offer or you willingly dont want to offer it, you can go for an unsecured bad credit loan which comes with shorter repayment period. A perfect loan plan should satisfy all your desired purposes, but you have to choose well to avoid any sort of bafflement in future. With so many lenders and numerous loan plans, you can easily find yourself trapped under confusion. So, to avoid any sort of such consequence, you can obtain all the detailed information via Internet. You can easily compare the loan rates to avail the most suited loan plan.

By Lee Dobbins Gardening can be a fun and relaxing hobby but it is not without it’s downsides. That downside comes in the form of pests and diseases that can ruin your plants if you are not careful. No garden is immune from disease and your best way to deal with it is to educate yourself as to the common pests and diseases in your area. Bacteria, fungi and viruses can attack both flowering and non flowering plants. Fungi are able to survive in the soil, independent of the plants, while both bacteria and viruses require a plant host for their survival. Fungi are primitive organisms that reproduce through spores which are very hard to kill. Fungi make spores in huge quantities and they spread rapidly. Some spores can affect a plant through the roots and others through the leaves. Fungi can lie dormant for years in the soil just waiting for the right conditions to activate it. A single infected plant can release up to 100 million spores, so it is important to completely eradicate any fungal infection. Bacteria, on the other hand, need both warmth and water to multiply and grow. Therefore, the majority of bacterial diseases are more of a problem in climates that are both warm and wet. Bacteria can be spread thorough splashing water such as rain or overhead watering. Many times it enters plants through a natural opening like a flower, or through a wound or cut in a stem or leaf. Viruses can only reproduce from within the cells of the plant. They are smaller even than bacteria and can be transmitted by insects or carried by infected seeds or pollen. Like bacteria, viruses often enter plants through cuts or wounds in the stems, leaves or other parts of the plant. As with all other disease treatment, the first step to effectively treating a viral, bacterial or fungal infection in the garden is to diagnose it properly. Every gardener should keep a book or guide on hand which shows the effects of common plant diseases. This guide will prove invaluable when trying to figure out what is bothering your plants. If you are still stumped for a diagnosis, be sure to seek the assistance of the staff at your local garden center, or the help of a more experienced gardener. If you need to treat your garden for any of these problems, you should first try natural non invasive methods. Try to avoid harsh chemicals and fungicides or same them for a last resort. While you may have to turn to using them, remember that they are not good for the environment so keep to using only the minimum amounts recommended.

By Dave Glass The last week end in June in almost every county and locality here in the United States you will see Hams (Amateur Radio Operators) hanging wire antennas in trees, putting antennas up in parking lots, or vacant lots, or in fields, or in school yards. Some of the antennas they hang are home made and some can be bought at a Ham Retail Store, but they all transmit and receive on the frequency they were made for! This is FIELD DAY! They set up tents to sleep in (mostly in shifts) and tents to operate their radios from (to keep the equipment out of the sun and rain). The Hams bring radios, computers, code keyers, 12 volt batteries, inverters, converters, and some type of generating equipment. As you see they are setting up to practice running their rigs when commercial power is not available where they are at! These are individual Hams, a small group of Hams, or some Ham Clubs as they also get contest points for contacts with other Hams through out the country that are not using commercial power. I have even seen a Ham on a bicycle that was mounted on a frame cranking an alternator through a battery to power the radio that he was using. Seeing that, I was convinced that some Hams will use anything to charge a battery or power their radios when commercial power is not available! The ARRL (American Radio Relay League is a National Amateur Radio Club with many local chapters) has had field day competition since 1933. Almost all the Hams involved in the field day exercise are also members of ARES, RACES, or SKYWARN which are a few of the emergency organizations made up of Hams and other interested people. During the year, ARES members pass messages (in a certain format) some from foreign countries or domestic places to a Radio Operator that lives in the same county or locality as the receiving person for the message. That Ham then calls the person that the message is for using the telephone to deliver the message. Sometimes there is a return message to the originator so it is put in the correct format and sent back in the same manner that was used originally. This helps to keep operators both familiar with message format and the method to pass a message to the correct area as well as what to do with it then! In each area that these Hams set up to operate their rigs from non-commercialpower they have at least one computer. Depends on the radios that they have but they could use this computer to keep track of the different stations that they have made contact with, or it could be connected to a TNC (terminal node connector) and a radio for sending/receiving digital modes. Digital modes are Morse code (using a computer they can go over 80 words a minute sending/receiving), Packet, RTTY to name a few of the common modes. They can also send/receive some of the newer modes that has been developed or the modes that still need improvement. Radios are set around the area for operation on different frequencies (depending on the antenna set up), and when the time comes are staffed for operation. Most of the operators are very talkative, and carry on a conversation with every station they make contact with. Non radio licensee(s)and radio license holders that their license is good for different frequencies are invited to talk on the radio or use the computer with a licensed ham (that is licensed for that frequency sitting nearby usually drinking from a coffee mug with the clubs call sign on it) using that hams call sign and saying they are third party! When Mother Nature unleashes her fury, these Hams are ready for action. Amateur Radio Operators have been active in every (that I know of) emergency situation in most parts of the world. During hurricanes, tornadoes, snow/ice storms, floods, tsunamis, both natural and some man made emergencies they are there to keep communications with the outside world! They help the groups that answer or set-up for the disaster by aiding with internal communications, passing communication from survivors to their family or friends, and help with getting the right equipment moved to a place that it is needed! This week-end is just not devoted to operating radios, but most members of the Radio Club (wearing Tee Shirts identifying them as club members with the clubs call sign and date/place of the field day) invite their families and the general public out to their site! Most of the time the local club will provide the meat (mostly hot dogs), and members provide the other food and silverware for a picnic. They have games that all of the family can join in and just fun things that everyone can do. Working emergencies is one thing that almost every one that has been a Ham for awhile has been involved. There has been several articles on either the television news or in the news paper about a Ham picking up a distress signal from either a ship or boat that was sinking and notify the Coast Guard to get them help. Not long ago there was a small boat that was attacked by Pirates and a boy had been shot the distress signal was picked up by a Ham. These are things that either they are not on a frequency that the Coast Guard monitors or the weather conditions are such that their signal is not picked up by a monitoring agency. Dave did not change his call sign from KD4YFL to his current call of KS4LI until he was licensed as Amateur Advanced in 1995. After receiving his Amateur Extra License in 1996 he served with several teams that gave licensing exams from Amateur Novice to Amateur Extra including the Morse code exams that were part of the licensing structure at that time.Daves current project is “Amateur Radio Gifts” Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Dave_Glass http://EzineArticles.com/?Amateur-Radio-Field-Day&id=223650 phentermine on line pharmacy phenteramine diet pills buy phentermine phentermine diet pills no prescription

Whether you grow your own organic garden or purchase food grown professionally, you will taste the difference. Organic foods have become so popular that the United States Department of Agriculture states that the demand for organically grown food has increased in the last 10 years by 20%! In fact, to give you an idea of how substantial organic food is, at the end of 2005, the amount of sales reached a staggering $7 billion! From a high-level view, organic gardening is a simple way to grow fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers in an all-natural environment. This means that nothing is treated with pesticides or herbicides and that everything grown is clean, natural, and healthy.

Although organic gardening does require a few changes in the way things are done from traditional gardening, you will quickly discover organic gardening is easy and fun. With organic gardening, two basic components exist. The first is creating soil that is natural and rich in nutrients and the second is managing diseases, pests, and weeds, using only natural solutions. Keep in mind that when it comes to this natural type of gardening, various methods could be used. However, the method you choose will depend on the type of soil you have and the type of plants you choose to grow.Being successful at organic gardening does require dedication but you can be sure the first time you taste your home grown foods or create a colourful bouquet, you will be convinced that the efforts are well worth it.
