• Remove approx ½ of the above mixture and put into a blender.
• Add enough filtered water to blender to create a 'brine' the consistency of thick juice.
• Blend well then add starter culture above to this brine.
• Add brine with culture back into veggies, celery seeds and herbs from step one.
• Mix together well. Note: If your blender is small you may have to do step 3 in two batches but you only need to add the starter culture once.
• Pack mixture down into as many pint or quart sized glass jars as necessary to hold all the mixture. Use a potato masher or your fist to pack veggies very tightly. You want to force out most of the air.
• Fill container almost full, but leave about 2 inches of room at the top for veggies to expand.
• Roll up several outer cabbage leaves into a tight "log" and place them on top to fill the remaining 2-inch space. Clamp jar closed, or screw on lid very tightly.
• Let veggies sit at room temperature for at least a week. Two weeks may be even better. Refrigerate to slow down fermentation.
• Veggies will keep in the fridge for many weeks, becoming more delicious as time passes!

How to Prioritize Land for UGB Expansions: 1000 Friends v. LCDC, __ Or.App. __ (July 2011, A134379).
Petitioners appealed LCDC’s periodic review approval of an expansion of the urban growth boundary (UGB) of the City of McMinnville which redesignated previously rural lands for various types of urban uses. The primary issue in the case was the relationship between ORS 197.298, a statute that prioritizes the types of land that can be added to a UGB and the Goal 14 UGB factors as they existed in 2005, which the city was authorized to apply in this case.
In Mellish v. Frog Mountain Pet Care, the Washington Supreme Court considered the effect of Mellish’s motion for reconsideration by the hearings examiner of his decision to approve a conditional use permit and variance to expand Frog Mountain, a dog and cat boarding facility. The original decision was made on June 18, 2007. The local code allowed an opponent to file such motion without providing notice to the applicant. The hearings examiner considered the motion and again approved the application. The decision on the motion for reconsideration before the hearings examiner was made on July 20, 2007.

That’s the reason they deserve to unwind once in a while. Stress relief can do a lot for the spirits.
If you’re a hard-working college student who is looking for fun this semester, these weekend activities should be on your radar.
College students are often some of the biggest thrill-seekers around. If you’re fond of exhilaration, adrenaline rushes, and excitement overall, then you should think about how to learn to skydive. Learning from a capable instructor can provide you with an experience that’s safe and productive.
Being around animals can be soothing. It can also be a blast for people who like a bit of adventure. If you’re a college student who wants to revel in tranquility and adventure at the same time, you should try to learn everything you can about horseback riding. Lessons in horseback riding can give you a break from the stresses of the daily grind.
Learning all about the culinary arts can be calming and rewarding for ambitious and well-rounded college students. It may be a swell idea to sign up for classes that revolve around the culinary arts.
It doesn’t matter if you learn about preparing savory dishes such as soups and quiches. It doesn’t matter if you learn about preparing desserts such as pastries and tarts. Gourmet preparations can be a lot of fun for driven college students.

You can explore all sorts of varieties of painting techniques. You can read books that delve into painting methods that are tried and tested as well. It can be pleasant to take painting classes all by yourself. It can be just as pleasant to do so alongside a couple of your closest friends, too.
College students have a lot on their plates all of the time. That doesn’t mean that they can’t squeeze in time for weekend activities, however. College students should aim to take on all sorts of recreational activities. Learning about everything from gourmet cuisine preparation to skydiving can make for a well-rounded college journey.

Recently on the whitehouse.gov website there has been a place for people to sign petitions. One petition asked that the phrase “Under God” be removed from the pledge of allegiance, while the other asked to remove “In God we trust” from coins and currency.
Actually, that is exactly what it means. The only way for there to be religious freedom is for the nation to favor no religion or non-religion. The fact that the pledge says “under God” is repulsive to every person who knows that “God” is a completely imaginary being worshiped by delusional adults and foisted upon innocent children.
I have friends that I communicate with on a professional discussion forum who are devout Christians.
Of course all the other devout Christians started praying, adding them to their prayer groups and offering up special requests to god on Timmy’s behalf.
And, of course, the faithful responded with promises to redouble their praying activities.
God repiles, “I KNOW Peter, who do you think GAVE him pneumonia?? Now, how many prayers have their been?
The stupidity of people who believe that God answers prayers defies imagination. How can any intelligent person believe something that is so obviously ridiculous?
In the scientific method, a scientist starts with facts and uses them to draw conclusions. In the creationist method, a creationist starts with Biblical nonsense and tries to find any facts that happen to match the nonsense by coincidence.
“Morality is doing right no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told no matter what is right.” Thus the religious end up with a Bible that advocates slavery, murder, misogyny, etc. and a group of religious people try to defend that kind of nonsense.
Religion is bankrupt. Any thinking person can see that. The site WhyWontGodHealAmputees can help you understand how bankrupt religion is.
What if America truly were a Christian nation?
We wouldn’t be taking votes on who gets medical care, or who gets to live, or who gets to learn, or whose rights matter more, or whose race or religion can’t be allowed to breathe freely. For Jesus gave healing to all who asked, defended the lives of sinners, taught all who were eager to learn, welcomed all to his circle — even outcasts, lepers and children. He had no regard for his own tradition’s finely tuned boundaries.
We wouldn’t be loading great wealth onto the already wealthy, but rather would be asking them to follow the lead of biblical tax collector Zacchaeus and to give away half of what they have.
We wouldn’t need as many lawyers, because generosity would trump tax-reduction strategies, parables would trump rules, property would be shared as needed and people would be forgiving — not suing — each other….
You CAN trust science. You CANNOT trust religion.
A video with a simple message: You CAN trust science. You CANNOT trust religion.
Why can you trust science? Because it has a track record that has produced thousands of solid advancements that are undeniable. Just look around you: electricity, computers, advanced medicines, medical imaging, automobiles, airplanes, space flight, GPS, television, skyscrapers, etc. Science is so obvious, so visible, so ubiquitous that it is impossible to deny. Everywhere you look and everything you touch today bears the effects of science.
Why can’t you trust religion? Because it clearly doesn’t work in a vast majority of cases. Religion leads us to things like this and this and this. For more information on the problems with religion please see GodIsImaginary.com.
After the Second World War, visits by Bodenwieser Ballet in 1947, Ballet Rambert in 1949 and the Australian National Ballet in 1952 rebuilt audience interest. The Australian-based Borovansky Ballet gained a popular following during its numerous return tours during the 1940s and 1950s. From the late 1940s there were calls for a New Zealand ballet company to be established.
On tour with the Borovansky Ballet in 1952 was a Danish dancer of considerable reputation, Poul Gnatt. He was struck by the fact that New Zealand audiences were so enthusiastic about ballet yet there was no national company. The following year he returned to form the New Zealand Ballet.
Margot Fonteyn, prima ballerina assoluta with the British Royal Ballet, arrived in New Zealand in 1959 to a delighted and enthusiastic welcome. Balletomanes queued for three days to get tickets, and after the final performance in Wellington a car was driven into the theatre to collect her, driving out at a snail’s pace through the cheering crowd.
Gnatt was offered studio space in Auckland at the well-established Nettleton-Edwards School of Ballet, where their Auckland Repertory Ballet ensemble had previously been based. The New Zealand Ballet’s first seasons were given in 1953 at the Playhouse, later the Mercury Theatre, off Karangahape Road, and His Majesty’s Theatre in Queen Street. Soon, with support from the government-funded Community Arts Service (CAS), Gnatt and his troupe undertook tours to a number of smaller cities and rural regions. The company was later toured by the Wellington, Canterbury and Otago branches of the CAS.
The New Zealand Ballet went to Te Kūiti, Putaruru, Mangakino, Te Puke and other small and not-so-small towns. They performed in any available space, clearing their sometimes makeshift stage and backstage area of nails, sheep droppings or old furniture. Performers were billeted with local families, and on occasion entertained in the local pub after closing time.
The wide-reaching national touring network that the company established in this period was maintained in the 2000s.
Russell Kerr had returned to New Zealand in 1957 after dancing with major ballet companies in the UK and Europe. He and Gnatt invited other leading talents who had danced overseas and returned to New Zealand to join forces in the United Ballet in 1959.
Gnatt, Kerr and his wife June Kerr, Rowena Jackson, Philip Chatfield, Sara Neil and Walter Trevor attracted great acclaim in Auckland and Wellington seasons. Prismatic variations, jointly choreographed by Gnatt and Kerr in 1959, was an important work of this period.
Many of these performers were among the young New Zealand dancers of outstanding promise who travelled abroad for further training and career opportunities. Rowena Jackson, brothers Alexander and Garry Grant, Bryan Ashbridge, Yvonne Cartier, Peggy Sager, Sara Neil, Anne Rowse and Russell Kerr were among those who went to England or Australia.
Attending Sadler’s Wells Ballet School in London was the pinnacle for aspiring ballerinas, but New Zealand’s first scholarship winner almost didn’t get there. Rowena Jackson won her scholarship in 1941, but the Second World War prevented her from going. Five years later, nearly 20 years old and ready to become a photographer instead, Jackson finally made it. She went on to become a principal dancer with the Sadler’s Wells Ballet (later the Royal Ballet).
There was a marked expansion of dance teaching after the Second World War. Notable teachers included Beryl Nettleton and Bettina Edwards in Auckland, Jean Horne and Galina Wassiliewa in Wellington, Joan Irvine in Dannevirke and Irina Kalnins in Christchurch.
A number of non-professional and short-lived groups, usually based on dance schools, were formed. The Repertory Ballet Theatre, set up by the Nettleton-Edwards School of Ballet, toured Waikato, Northland and Taranaki between 1946 and 1949. Like the New Zealand Ballet, it was assisted by the CAS. Kalnins Ballet Theatre, established by Irina Kalnins in the late 1940s, performed in Christchurch and Wellington.
Lithuanian émigrée Galina Wassiliewa, trained in the Russian Legat tradition, didn’t see the point of exams – ‘Look, if you’re a ballet dancer and go to an audition, no one will ask to see your certificate. They will tell you: Dance! Exams are such a lottery; good ones fail and bad ones pass.’1 But New Zealand’s small ballet world liked to follow Britain’s example: the Royal Academy of Dancing’s examinations were the standard against which many local dancers were assessed.
In the 1950s the Auckland Caledonian Society set up the Auckland Ballet Theatre to provide a core of dancers to work with local opera and dance productions and overseas companies touring New Zealand. The dance school tradition of annual performances was also maintained. Students at Wassilewa’s Russian School of Ballet, for example, performed in Wellington’s opera house (accompanied by a full orchestra) in the 1950s. In 1960 the Wellington City Ballet was set up to perform Children of the mist, one of the first ballets to be locally choreographed, designed and scored.
Auckland’s Ballet Appreciation Club, set up in 1953 and later known as Les Archives de la Danse, was led by ballet enthusiast Keith Woods. He documented New Zealand ballet, and in particular Gnatt’s endeavours, in photograph, film and the publication En Avant. Balletomanes (as ballet enthusiasts are sometimes known) in other cities also grouped together.

Toronto's waterfront comes alive in spring with so much activity along the shores of Lake Ontario. The May long weekend brings out Buskers and the start of the festival season with the free HarbourKIDS Circus (May 21-23). The tour boats have been running for awhile now and it's also a great time to catch a ferry ride (or water taxi) over to the Toronto Islands. I found some interesting custom chopper-type bicycles besides Music Garden, photo at top.
Here are my top ten reasons for going down to Harbourfront and the Central Waterfront.
1. Biking paths that allow you to explore the area.
2. Cool urban beaches - HTO Park and Sugar Beach.
3. Majestic Tall Ships and all the other manners of flotation.
5. Harbourfront Centre, the West Jet Stage Ampitheatre and the art galleries.
6. One of the best areas in the city to see buskers or street performers.
7. Access to the Toronto Islands from the ferry docks.
8. Relaxing on one of the red Muskoka chairs and pretending that Toronto is your cottage.
9. Small parks - Harbour Square Park, Toronto Music Garden (with concerts in the summer), the Natrel Pond, Ontario Square and Sherbourne Commons Park.
10. Everything you need to enjoy the day is down in the area including grocery stores, Restaurants, LCBOs and the Beer Store.
This requires some explanations beforehand about some allusions. For example, the tradition has it that the Vedas, the ancient scriptures are nothing but the breath of God. God breathed into the souls of this first manasa putras, his mental offspring, the rshis, the first prophetic sages who were born jivan mukta, born liberated, living liberated, therefore abandoning the bodies liberated. And we are all offspring of them. That all words are offspring of the archetypal word. All languages are children of the words revealed by God as His breath into the highly-realized souls. There is a vast linguistic theory of Sanskrit language and its tradition of philosophy into which I cannot go at this time. I am just giving a few allusions that occur in this composition.
Let me bring you to another allusion. There a word in Sanskrit, gau, from the verb-root gam 'to go.' The English word go is related this word gam. The word is go. It is a noun is Sanskrit. Its nominative singular form is gau, which means 'the earth'. It also means 'cow'. The English word cow is also derived from the Sanskrit word gau. From the same word comes the modern Hindi word gaia, which is more or less the same as Gaia, from the Greek, that has become the key word in the ecology movement. From the same gau comes geo, the Greek geo, [from which we get the word geometry] 'measuring the earth'. So that this idea of "constant movement of the earth, nothing static," "as a single organism," "ever-milk-giving cow," "the sacred earth" is all related, all connected. Take all these words and see their meaning as a single unitary whole.
The ancient stories in the texts called the Puranas, which are half a million verses of such narratives, those stories tell us of times when the earth has become overburdened by the proliferating human population and the profligate behavior of all human beings, and then She goes and seeks refuge at the feet of Lord the Preserver. Demonic forces haunting the earth are countered by devas, the divine beings, the divine forces, who give battle and defeat the demonic forces. There are innumerable such episodes in the Puranas. Quite often the human warriors also, seeking power to do battle against the forces of evil, withdraw into forests, into the mountains for a year or two or for many, many years of tapas, ascetic endeavor, so that the divine powers would manifest themselves and grant them unfailing weapons. Now this sounds like a warlike scene, but let us look into it a little closer.
For example, many years before the War of the Mahabharata, with which I am sure your are familiar from the Bhagavad-gita, Arjuna took to a year of asceticism and celibacy and strong concentration, meditation, contemplation. Then the Lord Shiva appeared and granted him a weapon. Now these weapons used in the Mahabharata War were of a very peculiar quality. If you have seen the movie Dune, you might understand what I am talking about. If you have not seen it, do see it, because there is a very strong Sufi background there. And from that Sufi background, they have taking the idea of sound as a weapon. Sounds wielded as weapons.
Now up to the time the Mahabharata War, this was very common scientific knowledge. So that when we read in the description of the Mahabharata War the wielding of the, let us say, agneya-astra, igneous missile, whereby a single missile created a fire-havoc. And then to counter it, the varuna-astra, the aqueous missile, was used. All of these missiles were impelled by the power of particular sounds, certain particular weapon-mantras. It is said that there was so much destruction in the Mahabharata War that in 5092 years since then, humanity has not yet recovered. With the power of such weapons, four million soldiers were killed in eighteen days, and civilization was devastated. And from that time on, though the mantras behind these strange forces are still known, they are written in texts, though the exact ways of using them was concealed for the duration of Kali Yuga, the current Dark Ages. And then from then on, the policy has been enforced strictly among the tradition that no science should be taught to anyone who has any negative or destructive personality traits. That is why so many of the traditional sciences of India have become lost. And it is preferable that they be lost rather then they be given to those who would wield them irresponsibly.
The third allusion is based on the Upanishadic passage. The sound of OM is the bow. The self is the arrow. Brahman, the Supreme Transcendental Being is the target. Shoot the self from bow of the enunciation of OM that becomes one with the target.
The entire composition reiterates the theme that there is a very strong subtle, what may seem to many listeners a mystical connection between the collective temperament of human beings and what happens to the world around them. That is to say, for example, that when the governments are unjust, the rivers dry, the rains do not come on time, the grains do not grow, that the trees wither, that the bees cease to hum, that the floods and the earthquakes devastate the earth. We find that in the Purana stories, as soon as a rightful, virtuous king has been reinstated, immediately all the ecological damage, for some reason unknown to us but well-known to the divine, celestial forces that run the universe, that damage is undone and everything begins to flow in harmony, and the earth turns green. But don't blame the king. Don't blame the governments. It is to do with the collective temperament of all human beings. Unless the mental ecology of human beings is sound, there is no possibility that this earth could be saved.
I will be born without human parentage and with hundreds of eyes.
the Bearer of the Greens.
I believe that the name and form of Shakambhari Devi should be the logo of the International Ecology movement. I have made reference to that in this composition. The Composition is not much in English, and I cannot convey the exact force of what it is in Sanskrit, but listen on. It is not a translation, only a very weak paraphrase and a summary.
Here I forget to give you one allusion that comes right in the beginning. There is a word here, Prajapati, which means the Progenitor. The great Creator, Brahma, first produced the Prajapatis, the Progenitors, the great grandfathers of the Earth, the Great grandfathers of the human race. Here I have used that word in association with words, rather than beings, so that the first revealed Words I have called as Shabda Prajapatis.
In the beginning before time, the Spirit of All, the Great Brahman, breathed the Word Progenitors, which the Rshis, the realized prophetic sages who were born liberated, saw within their own spiritual selves. These Words, having become articulate, then become the vehicle of communication whereby human beings expressed their thoughts and sentiments to each other. The Words got introduced to each other in Sentence-Streets. And wandering about in the Sentence-Streets, they met each other, and because like attracts like, they became attracted to each other. They because associated with each other, and a certain affection arose among them. The affection became a passion, a momentum of lust whereby they united, joined, and proliferated, multiplied.
These later proliferated Words forgot their divine origin in the Spirit of the Universe and filled with noises they surrounded and filled the entire Earth. [The word I have used here is the same word go, gam, gau, gaia, cow.] With the Cosmic Poison of Quarrels, with the Cosmic Poison of Noise, with the Venom of Cacophonies, these egotistical, corrupt Words became divided into many tribes, became entire nations, a burden on the Great Divine Lady, Mother Earth, pouring Poison into human ears. Therefore human beings could no longer express their love-filled thoughts and sentiments to each other. And these human beings who were originally the children of Jivan Mukas, of those born liberated, now were reaching as though jivan mrityu, a living death. The Decibel Devils, together with their wives the Cacophonies, together with their sons, named Licentiousness, daughters called Twisted Laughter and Papagiti (Disharmony of Music). Thereby, by their very presence they began to dry up the streams, rivers, lakes, turning all things green into copper-color, causing confusion of directions among the Winds. Even while the Clouds wandered in the Sky, these Decibel Demons drank up their Waters so that none poured downward. Not only they, they kidnapped the Clouds' Lightning Wives and absorbed them as energies to strengthen themselves. The entire world of living beings cried out, "Save! Help! Oh, from where has this misfortune befallen us as though the very conflagration to end the Earth. Such is our grief. These Decibel Devils, by their twisted power, uproot the trees, and they fill the cities, the countryside, the forests, the parks, the mountains, with fires that turn everything to ashes."
But there were among the living beings some Compassionate Ones whose pranas were synonymous with compassion, whose hearts melted with mercy. These Distinguished Contemplative Sages resorted to the Caves of the Himalayas and hid themselves. They hid themselves to perform ascetic devotion to Devi, the Great Mother, who is the very Sun of Great Fortune shining upon the Earth, seeking the right weapons to counter and defeat the Decibel Devils.
After an aeon, She was pleased with their tapas, and granted them three boons. The first boon she granted them was the Dhyan-Dhanush, the Meditation Bows, with ever-unfutile, ever-unfailing Arrows of Silence, sharpened upon the ascetic disciplines. The second boon was the siddhi [accomplishment] to shoot at the target without fail by impelling the Arrows through the Power of the Enunciation of OM. And She gave them the Armor of the Contemplation of the Great Sentences of Vedanta.
