Shave & Hair cut (after 25 years)

Shave & A Hair Cut (after 25 years) ... as per Facebook
by Michael Lee-Price on Sunday, 16 January 2011 at 13:57
I have had this extremely long hair for over 25 years (except for the occasional trim and having "Dead Ends" removed) and I have had a beard on and off for that time as well. I am planning to have my beard shaved off and my hair cut short back and sides. Also, my partner Louise's first child (from her previous marriage) died of Leukaemia at the age of eleven and a half months. I am doing this in support of a good cause! Please sponsor me!
I'm taking part in Worlds Greatest Shave 2011. Please sponsor me!
The money I raise is used by the Leukaemia Foundation to fund services to support patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. All the services are free. My fundraising also funds blood cancer research to find better treatments and cures.

I'm taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave this year. Take a look at my Profile Page by clicking this link:
http://my.leukaemiafoundation. org.au/MiC? SID=140746& Lang=en-CA
Please sponsor me by making an online donation using a credit card. I'm aiming to raise as much as I can for the Leukaemia Foundation. Their vital work provides patients with practical support during their long and tough treatment, as well as funding important research.
Did you know?
- Every hour of every day, at least one person in Australia is diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma.
- Every two hours, someone loses their life to blood cancer.
- $26 can provide emotional support to help someone overcome the shock of being diagnosed
- $40 can help improve treatments and find cures by funding a PhD student's laboratory costs for a day
- $57 can support patients who are too ill to drive by providing a day's transport to and from treatment
- $80 can give a regional family who've had to move closer to treatment, a place to call home for a night
For more information about the Leukaemia Foundation visit their website: http://www.leukaemia.org.au
Thank you for your support!

Moon Miscellany
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

Moon Miscellany
New Moon - White Goddess of birth and growth.
Full Moon - Red Goddess of love and battle.
Old Moon - Black Goddess of death and divination.
All hail to thee, Queen of heaven!
Thou showest two horns to mark six days,
And on the seventh will divide thy crown in two.
On the fourteenth day, turn thy full face unto us.
Seven is the Moon's mystic number, because each one of its four phases is completed in seven days.
Nineteen is a sacred number in Old
Irish and Celtic lore, for the sequence of Moon phases within a single
zodiac sign is repeated every 19 years.
The Mansions of the Moon, abodes of the soul, refer to the position of the Moon at noon on each of the 28 days in a lunar month.
Bow to the new Moon, especially the
first new Moon of the year, as a sign of respect. It is courting
disaster to point at the Moon at any time. Turn a silver coin in your
purse or pocket at the first sight of the new Moon to gain luck.
It
is bad luck to see the new Moon for the first time on your left, or
behind you, or through the branches of a tree. A new Moon on Saturday
means foul weather. A full Moon on Sunday brings bad luck and toilers of the sea should not set sail.
The Roman astrologers of classical
times considered the Moon sign of a horoscope to be of far greater
significance than the Sun sign.
Marsilioi Ficino, the Florentine
philosopher of the Renaissance, defined the planetary image of the
spirit of the Moon as an archer riding a doe, a huntress with bows and
arrows, a little boy, a goose, or a single arrow.
Diana, goddess of the Moon and patroness of witches, was regarded as a demon by the early Christians.
Waxing: as the size of the Moon
increases, its form takes the shape of the capital letter D: D for
Daring. This marks a time for creativity, expansion, and development.
You may glance up at the sky in the late afternoon to see the pale
waxing half Moon beckoning. Later on as darkness falls, it shines like a beacon of hope in the west, raising your spirits and assuring the
success of your ventures.
Waning: rising later night after
night, the Moon diminishes in size, now assuming the form of the letter
C: C for Caring. The time has come to relax, restore energy, and quietly dispel negative influences in your life. Banish fear, unworthy desires, and selfish motivations as the Moon wanes.

Smooring Ritual

Smooring Ritual
In ancient times, the hearth-fire was rarely allowed to go out, especially in winter. When the fire had burned down to an ember, it was carefully
preserved under a blanket of ashes. In Scotland, this was called
"smooring," and it was done in a ritualistic way. The embers were
arranged in a circle divided into three parts, with an ember in the
middle known as Tula nan Tri (Hearth of the Three). You can perform this fire magic with three candles, with a fourth in the center symbolizing
what you wish to preserve and encourage in the season to come. Close
your eyes and pass your hand over the candles, saying:
I am smooring the fire
As Bridget would smoor.
The gods' protection
Be upon the flame.
I will build this power
As I build the hearth
At the dawn of the red sun of day.
~ Sharynne NicMhacha

Recipes for Making Herbal Vinegars
Whichever steep method you use, the following recipes will provide a delightful herbal vinegar for a variety of uses. We've selected base
vinegars which we have found work well with the herbs in each individual recipe. But once again, let your palate be your guide. The recipes are all
for two cups of vinegar, and may be increased for larger batches. All of the herbs must be fresh, not dried.
Bouquet Garni Herbal Vinegar–
Use this vinegar to deglaze a pan after sautéing meats, in a salad
dressing, or in a marinade for any type of meat.
¼ C. Rosemary
¼ C. Thyme
¼ C. Parsley
6-8 fresh Bay Leaves
2 C. White Wine Vinegar
Fines Herbes Herbal Vinegar–
This light vinegar gets its flavor from the four fine herbs of classic
French cooking. It gives a nice flavor to sautéed or steamed vegetables,
and makes a nice salad dressing.
¼ C. Parsley
¼ C. French Tarragon
¼ C. Chives
¼ C. Chervil
2 C. Champagne Vinegar
Lemon Herbal Vinegar–
Use this tart vinegar to give a zip to vegetables, in a refreshing salad
dressing, or in a chicken marinade.
¼ C. Lemon Thyme
¼ C. Lemon Grass
¼ C. Lemon Balm
¼ C. Lemon Verbena
1 T. Lemon Peel
2 C. White Wine Vinegar
Provençal Vinegar–
The flavors of Herbes de Provence are excellent for marinating pork and
lamb, and a light touch pairs well with seafood.
¼ C. Thyme
¼ C. Basil
¼ C. Summer Savory
¼ C. Sage
2 T. Rosemary
2 T. Lavender Blooms
6 Fresh Bay Leaves
Salad Herbal Vinegar–
Use this tart vinegar alone as a light, fat-free salad dressing, or
combine it with some olive oil,salt and pepper to make a mellower
dressing. It also make a great red meat marinade.
¼ C. Thyme
¼ C. Greek Oregano
¼ C. Marjoram
¼ C. Chive Blossom (or Chives if not in bloom)
½ C. White Wine Vinegar
½ C. Red Wine Vinegar
Use your imagination to create your own herbal vinegars. And don't be
afraid to add spices to the vinegars. We've added peppercorns, cardamom,
whole allspice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and crushed red pepper. You can use
dill, caraway and celery seeds. And blooms make delightful vinegars
and a beautiful presentation in the bottles. We've used sweet violet,lavender, nasturtium, society garlic, dill, chive, and Spanish tarragon blooms.
Keep experimenting! Your personal creativity is where the fun begins in making herbal vinegars.
Additional combinations we've used:
For Pork: Sage, Thyme, Bay Leaf, Pepper Corns
For Fish: Dill, Tarragon, Lemon Thyme, Parsley, Lemon Peel
For a beautiful rose colored vinegar: Opal Basil, Chive Blooms
For a spicy vinegar: Cilantro, Savory, Marjoram, Thyme, Crushed Red
Pepper

Dulngulg Song Cycle, Australian Mudbara People

At daybreak, the rising sun stretches her arms.
At daybreak, the goddess rises to her feet.
She rises, driving out darkness from the land.
She rises, bringing daylight and birdsong to the land.
Beneath her, we move about, enjoying her warmth.
Above us, she moves about, moving westward.
She shines bright on the blooming collibah tree,
with its sprawiling roots, with its spreading branches.
~Dulngulg Song Cycle, Australian Mudbara People
Light grows daily stronger at this time of year, but it is hard to believe it, for the world still seems shrouded in wintery gloom. Yet daily, the sun rises earlier and sets later. Daily, the great round of the year reveals its mysteries once again.
So it is with our lives. We pass through periods where we believe that we will never find happiness again, that we will never find an end to pain, that we will forever suffer from frustration and unease and anxiety.But nothing lasts forever. The greatest pain, like the greatest joy, someday ends. True joy exists in learning to delight in the dance of life, not clinging to a certain day's beauties or even to its pains. True joy exists in moving like the sun through each day, knowing that it will finally end but also that a new day will always dawn afresh.
