Last Minute Creations; Via the aspirations and inspiration of friends.
After dinner with a friend tonight I was inspired. I have had an issue keeping from some things I want. So I prioritize and that helps. I found myself, after dinner and great conversation with a long time friend, getting up and getting to my sewing.
It's too late for the hot pads and cloth centers I wanted to make for this year. Then out of no where, I decide to make eye pillows.
It was not really that out of the blue, but I was oblivious to that at first. Once I knew the connection, I really felt silly. The good kind of silly though, not the guilt silly's.
These are my new fun. They are rough, but so am I.
I added
lavender Florettes
that we grew, and I harvested, dried, and put up.
Flax
and a pinch of
rosemary
I don't have that much lavender though; so sharing is really good for me, cause I find it harder to share when I worked at something.
That reminds me of last summer. I received a wonderful neighbor gift from a wonderful neighbor lady. I don't really know her, we haven't hung out, but, other than a distant way of knowing people you don't talk to but live near. We do have common interests. thank you for sharing the bounty of your labor. Thank you...
I'll be sure to keep a new dream pillow in my bag so that when we run into each other, I'll have one saved for you.

Vitamin D; a petition to investigate. Let's Hope~~~:D
You know, I don't know a whole lot about Vitamin D, other than what I read. Trouble with that is most of what we read, have read, and will read is some kind of advertisement. Whether it be ad campaigns for herbalish, health, medicine, over the counter, and even food, and books, it's all 'selling' something.
Where to draw the line is in the gut. Unless you're a fortunate that has been raise in strong family traditions in the matter of health.
Here, in America, things have changed as far as everything is concerned healthwise. Some for the good, but not bedside manner, or recovery care. We call recovery these days something you are if you're not drinking or drugging and it was a problem. There used to be a field of work called nursing and is was not what it is today. Recovery from illness is not really talked about, much less what vitamin should be used when. The backs of the bottles talk as if you should regularly take it and that you're not getting what you need otherwise. Hm, not a good sales pitch to me....
although, I believe vitamin knowledge is good, I think the bland way it is taught is far from good. It's probably not killing us off, but (?).....
Here's a petition and my comment I submitted to congress through care2.com
If it tickles you to do so, please to; if not, you may just know a bit or more than me. And good for you, but living behind gimicks especially if it goes under the heading of a fancy job title... I might think twice if I was thinking I'm all that, but I am not... I just want to live and let live and ruffle a tail feather or two if need be.
Hope your Christmas and holidays are bright...
And my note on the petition says;
I am tired of hearing that there is no evidence.......for many, many issues. When really there is, but just not from certain authorities. I am tired of grants for grants sake, not for real uses. If this will help investigate the positive, then I am all for it. We need more health in our health care, if you know what I mean. And you can quote me on that.
Thank you for caring 'care2.
Sincerely,
Allison Dahl

"At first, we must understand what it is that yoga can provide us with when practiced regularly. At the physical level, yoga and its cleansing practices have proven to be extremely effective for various disorders. More importantly, yoga is extremely effective in:

Camellias
I was searching about camellias. Laurel talks about them at breakfast time(p.85). I thought she meant as a centerpiece, then found this about green tea, 0olong tea and some of the differences in the process. This site claims the camellia sinensis is the source of all green tea.
the link and quote;
http://www.gardensablaze.com/Shrubs/ShrubsCamellia.htm
"...Green Tea: Camellia sinensis is the source of all green teas, and the differences in taste of the different types of teas are the results of different processing techniques, and differences in individual plants. Green teas are made by allowing the leaves to wither in hot air, then pan frying or placing in an oven to halt the fermentation process. Oolong teas are wilted in the sun, then bruised and allowed to partially ferment, until the leaf edges turn slightly red. Black teas are fermented in humid, cool rooms until the entire leaf is darkened. Studies suggest that the Green Teas are the most beneficial for health because the leaves are not allowed to ferment at all, preserving the antioxidant properties of the fresh leaf..."

Total Lunar Eclipse of December 21
The last lunar eclipse of 2010 is especially well placed for observers throughout North America. The eclipse occurs at the Moon's descending node in eastern Taurus, four days before perigee.
The Moon's orbital trajectory takes it through the northern half of Earth's umbral shadow. Although the eclipse is not central, the total phase still lasts 72 minutes. The Moon's path through Earth's shadows as well as a map illustrating worldwide visibility of the event are shown in Figure 4. The timings of the major eclipse phases are listed below.
Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 05:29:17 UT
Partial Eclipse Begins: 06:32:37 UT
Total Eclipse Begins: 07:40:47 UT
Greatest Eclipse: 08:16:57 UT
Total Eclipse Ends: 08:53:08 UT
Partial Eclipse Ends: 10:01:20 UT
Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 11:04:31 UT
At the instant of greatest eclipse (08:17 UT) the Moon lies near the zenith for observers in southern California and Baja Mexico. At this time, the umbral magnitude peaks at 1.2561 as the Moon's southern limb passes 2.8 arc-minutes north of the shadow's central axis. In contrast, the Moon's northern limb lies 8.1 arc-minutes from the northern edge of the umbra and 34.6 arc-minutes from the shadow center. Thus, the southern half of the Moon will appear much darker than the northern half because it lies deeper in the umbra. Since the Moon samples a large range of umbral depths during totality, its appearance will change dramatically with time. It is not possible to predict the exact brightness distribution in the umbra, so observers are encouraged to estimate the Danjon value at different times during totality (see Danjon Scale of Lunar Eclipse Brightness). Note that it may also be necessary to assign different Danjon values to different portions of the Moon (i.e., north vs. south).
During totality, the winter constellations are well placed for viewing so a number of bright stars can be used for magnitude comparisons. Pollux (mv = +1.16) is 25° east of the eclipsed Moon, while Betelgeuse (mv = +0.45) is 16° to the south, Aldebaran (mv = +0.87) is 20° to the west, and Capella (mv = +0.08) is 24° to the north.
The entire event is visible from North America and western South America. Observers along South America's east coast miss the late stages of the eclipse because they occur after moonset. Likewise much of Europe and Africa experience moonset while the eclipse is in progress. Only northern Scandinavians can catch the entire event from Europe. For observers in eastern Asia the Moon rises in eclipse. None of the eclipse is visible from south and east Africa, the Middle East or South Asia.
Table 6 lists predicted umbral immersion and emersion times for 20 well-defined lunar craters. The timing of craters is useful in determining the atmospheric enlargement of Earth's shadow (see Crater Timings During Lunar Eclipses).
The December 21 total lunar eclipse belongs to Saros 125 a series of 72 eclipses in the following sequence: 17 penumbral, 13 partial, 26 total, 9 partial, and 7 penumbral lunar eclipses (Espenak and Meeus, 2009). Complete details for the series can be found at:

UT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Time
...
UT1 is the principal form of Universal Time. While conceptually it is mean solar time, precise measurements of the Sun are difficult. Hence, it is computed from observations of distant quasars using long baseline interferometry, laser ranging of the Moon and artificial satellites as well the determination of GPS satellite orbits. UT1 is the same everywhere on Earth, and is proportional to the rotation angle of the Earth with respect to distant quasars, specifically, the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF), neglecting some small adjustments. The observations allow the determination of a measure of the Earth's angle with respect to the ICRF, called the Earth Rotation Angle (ERA, which serves as a modern replacement for Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time). UT1 is required to follow the relationship
ERA = 2π(0.7790572732640 + 1.00273781191135448Tu) radians
where Tu = (Julian UT1 date - 2451545.0)[2]

Looking for Leek Recipes; my search findings for tonight
Reading Laural's Kitchen, by Laruel Robertson looking for Leek info, she said, "...Leeks are sweet and mild and green in their flavor, so they often don't play a supporting role but star in dishes like Leek Soup, patty, or pita."
Looked around a bit and wasn't satisfied with what I found for now, but will want to try later. I just wanted a starring lead to my leeks. So, I will just go back to my kitchen and make something up. My gut has won as well. She has a mind of her own and is saying leek soup should simply be boiled leeks, as usual, and the only way I have really had them.
I will make a pita dip and try a patty I am going to create for tomorrow.
Here are a couple of the sites I found when I wasn't looking about.
For referencing later.

from Reiki site found in last post 12.01.10
"...In this context, the word Healing has a somewhat different meaning from the widely accepted meaning. The widely accepted meaning for healing seems to be curing of symptoms, for that seems to be what medical doctors and the like look to do in their practice. The other meaning for healing, used in the practice of Reiki as well as other related areas, is the return to greater wholeness. There is an ideal form each of us has, this ideal form being the highest and clearest expression of who we are. Pain or disease comes from any deviation between the persons current form in the 3D physical world and this ideal form. Healing, then, is to bring this physical form into closer alignment with the ideal form.
The way we aquire deviations from our ideal form is to accept limitations into our life. Most of this comes from early childhood because that is the phase of life where we are the most open and inquisitive about life. A limitation may be a parent yelling "BE QUIET!!" enough times that the child learns to not speak. Another limitation may be a limp that continues longer after the physical injury has healed, maybe with phantom pains. These limitations are behavior patterns, eating patterns, physical limitations, imagined physical limitations, psychological, mental, or emotional ways of being, living, expressing or loving that is not in alignment with our personal highest expression.
In any healing the goal is to find the limitation, recognize the pattern, recognize where it came from, and let it go. Reiki accomplishes this by providing the recipient enough energy to step above (metaphorically) to see all that and have the courage to let go. This usually does not happen consciously as a result of Reiki, but sometimes it does happen that Reiki gives the recipient the conscious awareness of the pattern and recognizing where it came from. Our lives are a constant flow of patterns of activity (such as the pattern used to accomplish eating breakfast) and it is our choice to have these patterns remain stuck in limited expression, or to release the old patterns and try on new and shinier ones."
Reiki is also a gateway shining pure love into the universe. It is this love which allows us to transcend our wounds and help us remember our true nature.

SOURDOUGH STARTER with WILD YEAST
Wild yeasts exist in the air around you and to some extent on the wheat berries. There are wild yeasts on grapes (unsulphured) and apples and other fruits. It is those wild yeasts which are 'captured' to make a sourdough starter. The process takes from 3 to 5 days. I wish I had specific amounts for you, but you could start with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of flour and mix in enough warm (not hot) water to make a thin paste. DO NOT make it too soupy. That, in fact, is the trick to a good starter, according to the French bread makers, and I think they should know. And after you've fooled around with the flour and water thing, you might wish to branch out into adding those unsulphured grapes, apples, sour milk, etc as a catalyst in order to capture other strains of yeast. Each of these strains has a slightly different taste. In fact if you move to another area, you might end up with a starter that produces an entirely different flavor. For instance, San Francisco sourdough bread is well known and has a distinct taste due to the wild strains in the air there. On day one you mix the flour and water (and add any catalysts to encourage fermentation) and place in a warm spot. After 3 days, the dough should be moist, inflated, and slightly sour. More flour and water is added (mixed in) and left to sit in a warm spot. After 2 days the process is repeated. Then the next day it is done again. Note the order: 3 days, 2 days, 1 day. At this point you should be able to make a loaf of bread using part of the starter and adding back what you took out in the form of more flour and water. Rule of thumb: Use about 10% starter to size of loaf. In the case of a 2 lb loaf this is a bit over 3 oz of starter (3.2 to be exact). For a 1 lb loaf 1.5 oz would be used. A book that describes this process in great detail is The Village Baker by Joe Ortiz, copyright 1993, published by Ten Speed Press, Berkley CA. If it's not still in print, try the used books stores, that's where I got mine. Or try your local library. If they don't have it, they might be able to get it for you. ©2008 by Ernestina Parziale
