Another great poet here at Avalon,

Children Pump Clean Water While Playing on the Merry-Go-Round
In a way it's free energy-it's not on the lines of anti-gravific waves and HO cells but it's quite innovative in it's own way.
http://www.naturalnews.com/024732.html
NaturalNews) PlayPumps International, a US non-profit organization, has come up with a very innovative way to help Africans obtain clean water for their families. The PlayPump is a sustainable, patented water pump that gets its power from children. The PlayPump is a merry-go-round that doubles as a water pump.

The spinning of the merry-go-round pumps clean water from underground into a 2,500 liter tank, standing seven meters above the ground. A simple tap makes it easy to draw water. All excess water is diverted from the storage tank back down into the borehole. The pump is able to produce up to 1,400 liters of water per hour at 16 rpm from a depth of 40 up to 100 meters.

Women and girls in Africa are primarily responsible for collecting enough water each day for cooking, drinking and cleaning. This often means hauling heavy water containers for many miles taking, on average, three hours a day. The weight of the water containers is equivalent to about 44 pounds (20 kg). Many young girls and women must walk as much as six miles every day to retrieve water for their families. Some have to make the trip twice.

In much of the world, we take water for granted. We turn on a faucet and out it comes. We flush a toilet and think nothing of the amount of water it takes for that flush. When you flush that toilet, you’re using the same amount of water that one person in a less developed country uses all day to wash, clean, cook and drink.

The World Water Crisis

Our bodies are made up of over 60% water and our brain is about 70% water. We become thirsty if we lose just 1% of that water and if we lose 10% we can die. Dehydration is responsible for about 80% of deaths from cardiac arrest.

Today, there is a huge water crisis on our planet. Consider these facts:

• Only 1/10th of 1% of the water on earth is drinkable.
• 1.1 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean water. That`s 18% of the world`s population.
• Unsafe water and lack of sanitation is now the single largest cause of illness worldwide.
• 5,000 children under age 5 die every day as a result of unclean water and poor sanitation. That`s one child every 15 seconds.
• Half the people in developing countries are suffering from water-related illnesses.
To learn more about PlayPumps International, you can visit www.knowh2o.org and www.playpumps.org. They have many videos, a blog and links to other information that can further explain the process and the benefits of the PlayPump(c). You can even sign up to sponsor a PlayPump. And, be sure to take the water test at knowh20.org (click on the Play link). You’ll be surprised at the answers.

I tried the 6% peroxide on my seedlings the other day, mixed it 50/50 with rain water.
Spilt some on my hand later and it burnt so was expecting all my seedlings to be dead the next morning but they are fine, good job as I just sprayed them all, didn't think about testing it on a couple first
Also planted some peas today after keeping them in my mouth for 9 mins, thought about doing it with some lettuce seeds but they are too small

[sunflower]

Haven't tried the peroxide yet but probably will give it a try soon.

Hi all,

Some poetry play on words,by
phireflye

Enjoy

the meadow of my head
is filled with an ocean
of wildflowers spreading
like wildfire through my senses

courted by butterflies, dragonflies, bees
a riotous burst of sweet-scented yellows
lavenders, and blues dancing in the breeze
i swear i smell them

i swear i feel them growing
into all my cavities
where once rested my heart
now lives greenery

tiny blossoms branching fractally
where there were lungs
now a zillion red ladybug wings
are opening and closing

my organs have sprouted roots
in this fertile soil, how vital i feel
how nourished and elemental
i am crazy with life, overun, overgrown

pervaded by beauty, oh so tenderly
how vibrantly illuminated
is the garden of me
drenched in the blazing sun of your
Love

©12/12/01 Liesl Lee

a tree shivers
ripe fruit drops
the ground quivers
in momentary shock
a seed quickens
in rotting flesh
sweet pickin's, death!
into my belly
you'll go then
as jam or jelly
and out the other end!
back to the earth
to decompose
to another birth
and another seed grows

© Liesl Lee 1997

A Garden at last



Ok it's not my own,but kind of a garden share.

A friend was complaining her garden was in a bad way,so we have agreed to share the work cost & rewards.


So today started to turn a loosen the soil,and some more tommorow and establish the ph value of the soil.

The gardens completly fenced from all sides ,so plenty room for runner beans etc a corner for a raised herb garden.

Tomatoea and potatoes are on the list,and more more im sure.

So i look forward to posting results..

Love light & gratitude

Re: Avebury May9th Nexus Global Meditation
Hi all,

Thought this may be of interest to some who travel to Avebury,as of today now,the uk has 8 confirmed cases of swine flu,with 1 possible contraction(first to have who has not been to mexico)
So maybe Vitamin D will offer protection..

Thanks to Ancor who posted the info below...
http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=13572
Vitamin D's role (for epidemic influenza)


I am not posting this because of Swine Flu, however, the stories around have certainly got people thinking about flu epidemics, even if this one turns out not to be real, there is always a chance that something natural may come up.

Henry Deacon mentioned something about Vitamin D being useful for us - I cant remember the exact quote, but David Wilcock's recent blog also reminded me about it.

Today I saw this referred to on the SurvivalBlog.com (itself a depressing but highly informative blog)

In depth article on Vitamin D's role in nailing flu like infections

The Five Elements Theory of Chinese Cooking

Learn about the Role of the Five Elements in Chinese Cooking

Related Resources

• Health Benefits of Green Tea


Written by Rhonda Parkinson

Like the concept of yin and yang, the Five Elements Theory is at the cornerstone of Chinese culture. What is the Five Elements Theory? The Chinese believe that we are surrounded by five energy fields: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. However, the elements are not static: they are constantly moving and changing. (In fact, some scientists think the term "element" is misleading, and prefer to refer to the "five phases" or "five forces.")

Once the Chinese identified the five elements, they set about categorizing all phenomena within the five categories. Everything, from a river to sounds to the organs in our bodies, can be described in terms of the five elements. How things are characterized depends on their individual qualities. For example, earth is associated with growth and nourishment, so the spleen, which monitors the blood - digesting debris and producing antibodies when necessary - is categorized as an earth element.

Just as an imbalance between yin and yang can produce destructive forces, keeping all elements in balance promotes harmony both in our surroundings and ourselves. Of course, balancing five elements is a little more complicated than achieving harmony between two opposing forces. According to Chinese belief, each element acts upon two others, either giving birth to it or controlling it. For example, wood gives birth to fire and controls or suppresses earth. Similarly, fire gives birth to earth and controls metal. All the elements are constantly interacting with other elements - none stand alone. The table below outlines the relationships.

Gives Birth To Controlling
Wood - Fire Wood - Earth
Fire - Earth Earth - Water
Earth - Metal Water - Fire
Metal - Water Fire - Metal
Water - Wood Metal - Wood

To give an example from nature, a plant (wood) grows when it is given water. When burnt, wood gives birth to fire, and the burnt ashes subsequently return to the earth.

What role does the Five Elements Theory Play in the Chinese diet?

You'll see adherence to the five elements theory in many facets of Chinese life. Martial arts, for example: many schools have a series of basic movements, each designed to keep the body in harmony with one the elements. And the five elements theory plays a large role in Feng Shui, the latest trend in both landscaping and interior decorating. Literally meaning "wind and water," Feng Shui is all about aligning energies in your home or work environment in a way that is most conducive with your own personal energy.

As for diet, Chinese herbalists believe that, to properly treat a patient, you must know the state of the five elements in their body. A deficiency or an excess of an element can lead to illness. In The Chinese Kitchen: Recipes, Techniques, Ingredients, History, and Memories from America's Leading Authority on Chinese Cooking, Eileen Yin Fei-Lo provides some wonderful examples of how her grandmother used the principles of the five elements theory to cure common illnesses. Treating a cough with winter melon tea and fresh water chestnuts is just one example.

A detailed look at the use of five elements theory in diagnosing and treating illnesses is beyond the scope of this article. Suffice to say that practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine rely on it to explain the relationships between the body organs and tissues, as well as between the body and the outside environment. The table below outlines the relationship between the five elements and body parts, feelings, colors, and taste.

Element Yin Yang Feelings Colors Tastes
Wood Liver GallBladder Rage Green Sour
Fire Heart Small Intestine Happiness Red Bitter
Earth Spleen Stomach Thought Yellow Sweet
Metal Lungs Large Intestine Sorrow White Spicy
Water Kidneys Bladder Fear Black Salty


How would a physician use the above information to make a diagnosis? Let's say a patient suddenly developed a preference for sour food. This could indicate liver problems. Of course, the actual process of examining a patient and making a diagnosis is much more complex than merely consulting a chart. It requires a thorough understanding of the interaction between all the elements. Because time and date of birth are also thought to play a role in an individual's "state of the five elements," many physicians will consult astrological charts before making a diagnosis.

"He that takes medicine and neglects diet, wastes the skills of the physician."
(Chinese proverb)

Hello to gardeners! Great thread, glad to find it. And, I am also one that has stumbled onto H2O2 gardening and will be experimenting this year. Nice to know someone else at avalon is doing the same!

I smile to think that in just the last two yrs I've relocated and now have a large garden, a pond, a spring, well water, a chicken coop going in as I type and a passive solar greenhouse in the making! Truly humbled here as just over 2 yrs ago I was working in a courthouse dealing w/criminal files... arghhh... what a breath of fresh air to be living near a lake in the country! I feel so fortunate and it's been like a slo-mo movie all of this transpiring while the economy is in dire straits & what other myriad things are in the offing in conspiracy & spiritual camps.

Just yesterday I was thinning out the beets, lettuc, carrots etc... it's about all I can do after having fractured at least one rib last weekend... my physical body has me restrained !!!

So, this summer I'll be a canning queen.... will be my first time w/a pressure canner altho I have used a water bath canner before.

It's SO much more pleasant to labor in love w/the bounty here at homeland... not having to pay such a high fee for organic food.

I'll be giving feedback later in the season after experimenting w/H2O2 as we intend NOT to use any pesticides.

Our Rhode Island Reds arrive in a couple of weeks & I look forward to free range eggs. The coop is utter varmint proof but we have a few acres where they can range during the daytime hours...

Have a beautiful day!
