Have you used a street drug charity for support? - media request
Gatena posted a topic in Events, actions, controversiesHi all, I am writing from the BBC. The Victoria Derbyshire show in the UK are producing a short film about anti-depressant withdrawals and are looking to speak to individuals who have used local street drug dependency services for support throughout this process. If you are someone who has used the support services of street drug charities in the UK for antidepressant withdrawal and are interested in taking part, please do reach out to me via the personal messaging system . We appreciate the very sensitive nature of this difficult experience and anything spoken about will remain confidential unless otherwise agreed. Many thanks.
New review about current knowledge withdrawal effects
Juliejuly posted a topic in In the mediaDear all, I have done all the research possible and contact all persons in the Netherlands who could help me find the answers for coping with this rollercoaster ride of tapering my last 2,5 mg of paroxetine (paxil). I managed to get in touch with a researcher in the area of tapering and withdrawal effects of anti-depressants. He was really helpful with my questions about tapering of and was so kind to share his latest upcoming publication about withdrawal effects and the importance of good guidance from our doctors. I found this article very inspirational and heart warming to know we are not alone in this battle of coming of our medications. I wanted to share this with you, thought it could be helpfull for others as well. Here is the link to the manuscript. It is still under review but already publiced at https://iipdw.org/user-knowledge-psychotropic-drug-withdrawal/ greetings Julia
DavidfromTexas posted a topic in Introductions and updatesHi, everybody. My name is David. I just discovered these forums a couple days ago as I was searching the internet for answers and hope. I'm in pretty bad shape right now, even as I am typing these first lines I am starting to cry. I feel better about asking other people who have been through the same issues as me, as opposed to a psychiatrist that just wants to put me on medication. Warning: this is going to be a long post, I apologize and thank you in advance for reading. LONG-TERM MEDS HISTORY: I am now 30 years old, and have been on Anti-Depressant medication for 20 years. I was diagnosed with pretty severe OCD/Anxiety around age 10 or 11, and immediately started on Anti-Depressant medication. (It was warranted, I was in such despair and largely unable to function even in everyday activities like school and doing normal kid things, and was never going to be able to get through any kind of Behavioral Therapy at that point in my life). SO we started with Zoloft (Sertraline), and it made a HUGE difference pretty immediately. I was able to be much more of a "normal" kid, though I did have setbacks here and there. After the better part of a decade, when the Zoloft seemed to not be working as well anymore, we switched to Cymbalta (Duloxetine), which I have been on for approximately the last decade. Which brings me to... SHORT-TERM MEDS HISTORY: Sometime in 2017 (I think), I decided I finally wanted to try going without my medication. I began a tapering with my prescribing psychiatrist that lasted 6+ months UNTIL the beginning of 2018 when I dropped COMPLETELY off of the medication. The tapering process was 90mg down to 60mg, then down to 30mg, then eventually down to nothing. I had NO physical withdrawal symptoms when I did this, and I remained off of the Medication for maybe around 3 months. The only REAL reason I decided to go back on the medication after those 3 months was because I had been feeling much more down/sad since being off of them, BUT I was unsure how much of that was normal (my 4-year first-love relationship finally died at the end of 2017) and how much of that was possibly a side-effect of being without the medication. SO, by April of 2018 I had decided to go back on Cymbalta, and I pretty quickly went all the way back up to 90mg. The plan was to be on it for a little while longer to give myself time to heal from the loss of this relationship. By the end of Oct. 2018 I had made it back down to 30mg, where I would stay for the next 5-6 months. (I think I tried dropping off the medication once during this period but went back on pretty quickly because I started feeling some physical withdrawal symptoms that I hadn't before. At this point, my memory is kinda blending it all together.) I tried dropping off again this April and felt the withdrawal effects worse than I did the previous time. So once again, I went right back on it. THEN I started seeing a different Dr (a nurse practitioner) who has experience helping people wean off of meds. Following her suggestions, THIS TIME I weaned from 30mg down to 20mg daily for 2 weeks, then started taking the 20mg ever other day for 2 weeks, then down to half of the 20mg pill every other day for 2 weeks (opening capsule and pouring out approximately half of the beads), and then finally taking half a 20mg pill every 4 days for a couple weeks. Doing it THIS way prevented the physical withdrawal symptoms I had experienced the couple times before. BUT now it's the emotional despair that I am worried about... WHERE I AM NOW: I have now been completely off of the medication since July 2nd. If I can just get through this depression and sadness, I just KNOW that I will be able to handle the issues that originally plagued me 20 years ago. I have lived through it all, and with the experience and memories and knowledge that I have now, I should be able to cope with it much better. I am just worried that it's the worst timing ever. Here we are, over a year and a half since my relationship was fully dead, and I am struggling with it worse than I have at any point since its death. I have only recently decided I need to do whatever I can to get past it because it is CERTAINLY not coming back (talked with her a few days ago). BUT what is now troubling me, is that I'm not sure if my current depression is due to the loss of the relationship OR if it's due to me being completely off of medication now and my brain having to re-wire itself and recover. OR if it's a really bad combination of both. I've never been through heartbreak like this before, but it seems to be getting progressively worse, where in normal circumstances it should be getting progressively better as time wears on. How can I tell the difference between true, natural depression and depression that's an effect of withdrawal? I assumed (maybe naively) that if I didn't have any physical withdrawal symptoms then I probably wouldn't have any emotional symptoms either. Just looking for some thoughts/insight from people with similar experiences. I am scared that I will have to remain on Anti-Depressants for the rest of my life, and who knows how THAT might even damage my health. I have been researching alternate, more natural forms of therapy for someone like me with Serotonin issues, the use of things like magnesium supplementation and whatnot. MY MAIN CONCERN IS BEING ABLE TO BE HAPPIER AGAIN, and I'm just hoping I can do that without Anti-Depressants. (I'm also dealing with other smaller physical issues like PE, which began as soon as I started weaning and gradually got worse the less amount of meds I took. But again, at this point, the more important thing to me is my mental health and mood. I don't want to feel heartbroken and hurt anymore.) Thanks for reading. I appreciate your time. David
workingstart: First Time Here, in Need of Advice
workingstart posted a topic in Introductions and updatesHello All, I am a college student who has been on 400mg of Wellbutrin for 5 months and 10mg of Lexapro for a bit less than six weeks. I didn't want to be put on Lexapro. I had been experiencing mild anxiety but for the most part, I was doing really well. (Sleeping and eating better, more energy, basically what one hopes for when being put on antidepressants.) In late November, my doctor insisted that I needed to start Lexapro. I pushed back and he insisted further - basically almost threatened to drop me as a client unless I took this medication but never gave a clear reason as to why. This whole thing was so suspicious that I actually researched him to see if there was any connection he may have had to the pharma industry. (Couldn't find anything.) Now, 6 weeks later, I'm not doing well at all. My anxiety hasn't decreased at all and I've been experiencing headaches and extreme fatigue. I went from sleeping 7-8 hours a night to 11 hours a night in addition to an early evening nap. I feel like a zombie. Basically, I'm very convinced this is medicine is not for me. I told me doctor all of this in an email and he essentially refused to even consider me stopping the medicine. He said that if I wanted to even discuss the subject, I needed to come in for an early appointment (I would be charged extra $50). He refused to give me any details on how to taper off Lexapro. I really don't want to see him again. Therefore, I was hoping some of you may provide me with some advice on tapering off Lexapro. Beginning in early December I took 5mg for a week and then 10 mg since then. Therefore, I've only been on 10mg for a bit over a month. I feel like tapering off by 10% every 3 weeks is a bit too extreme for my case - seeing as I've only been on it for a bit. I was considering doing a week of 7.5mg, a week of 5mg, a week of 2.5mg and then nothing. If you tapered off lexapro after being on it short term I would love to hear your advice, experience, and side effects. Thank you very much! Also, I get my Wellbutrin from my PCP so no worries about losing that prescription.
SonGoku: Almost 2 years off Effexor
SonGoku posted a topic in Introductions and updatesHello guys, I already shared my story in another forum and now I thought of sharing it also in this community. My story starts about 3,5 years ago, there I was 22 years old, I broke up with my first big love and this kinda left me desperate. I tried compensating it with a lot of work, working out in the gym and partying. I was always looking for a distraction, something that made me feel good and I always played the nice and happy guy in front of the others. Somehow it worked, I liked my life back then, I loved my job (i worked in a spa center as a sauna coach), it really fulfilled me. At the same time I attended courses to become a personal trainer. But a year later (may 2017) my facade started to crumble, I had no energy and anxiety and panic attacks started to evolve. Desperate as I was, i went to the doctor and after insisting on a blood test (which was fine) he prescribed me Venlafaxin 75mg, also known as effexor, telling me it would help to get my energy back. And there the whole nightmare was about to start. Sleeping got way worse ( it took me a long time to fall asleep and in the morning i could not get out of the bed, fatigued as i was), but the worst symptom was the derealization and depersonalization. At this time I didn't know that it came from the drugs. The doctor told me the dose was to low and he wanted to prescribe me 150mg. But I refused. At this time I had already changed job. When I came home from the job I was so tired I fell asleep for 2 hours, wacking up all dizzy. On September 17 i decided to taper off these drugs, because I didn't feel confident at all. My doctor didn't tell me anything about the withdrawal symptoms, he only gave me the smallest available dose of 37,5mg. I started taking them and strangely at the Beginning I felt better, I had more energy and had some better days. 1 month later, even though I didn't feel that good, I decided to take the next step and to taper off 5 mg every week. At this time I didn't know the steps were too big. On December 17 I reached 0mg and was looking forward to get back to normal life and by new year I felt mostly normal. But then slowly the withdrawal symptoms started to kick in. Somehow I just tried to survive day by day. Then in May 18 I decided to quit my job and to relax. I had some better and some bad days. On July 18 although I was not in the best conditions, me and my Brother decided to go on a journey, we travelled around Asia for 2 months. I hoped this journey can heal me somehow. Although it was a great experience unfortunately I was not able to get back to normal. Back home I started working for some hours, started working out and playing Icehockey. Then in May 19 I decided to get a full time job and to make the best out of my life. So I got this full time job in an office, started to get more ambitious in the gym (I changed body exercises mostly without weights) and in summer i was hiking 1x week. I tried to ignore my symptoms and just did what I liked. More or less the daily procedure of the symptoms were the same, so somehow I got used to it. Powering me out in the gym or in the mountains made me feel happy and alleviated the symptoms. But than again in September anxiety started to come back and I got some terrible headache, luckily I had 2 weeks of vacation and travelled with my friends to Asia. I was worried about me and how I could handle the vacation with my new arisen symptoms, but the end I had some really great days mostly without any symptoms. Back home the hole situation started to get worse, anxiety and headaches almost every day, I was devastated. I was not sure if the symptoms came from the withdrawal or if I got back into burnout, or overtraining. The symptoms I felt this time were different than the whole summer. Further my sleep got worse and I had some periods of stomachache. I mean I really did a lot of sports throughout the summer, but I did all those things to become more aware of my body. By now I am meditating everyday for almost a year, I added 5x/ week yoga in summer in the morning before i got to work and I worked out 3x/ week, plus I went hiking with my friends once a week. I know it seems a lot and maybe I exceeded my limits. The thing is when im feeling down I push myself and try to motivate myself, I tried to show myself and the world that nothing can bring me down. Right now I feel a little lost, I don't know if I should give up the sport for maybe some weeks and se how it goes. All I know is that sports is my life and I would get mad if I have to quit. I already try to do less, right know I am so cowed and I am not able to make decisions. What do you think? Thanks for reading this Best regards
Panayotis77: Zoloft 75mg - Starting Over
Panayotis77 posted a topic in Introductions and updatesMy story appears to be similar to many folks here on this forum. Reading all of these accounts has helped me accept my symptoms as a result of Zoloft, which has at least given me some piece of mind. Before I explain my timeline and struggle with getting off Zoloft, I want to bring to the forum's attention something my psychiatrist informed me of which I have found no evidence of elsewhere. Hopefully someone can verify this. My psychiatrist explained the following: The FDA allows for a 30% upward or downward margin of error on Zoloft pills. He explained that a 50mg Sertraline (Zoloft) may have up to 65mg or as low as 38.5mg. Another example, a 25mg Sertraline may have have as much as 32.5mg and as low as 17.5mg. Can anyone validate this? If this is true, it is unimaginable. My story: I started 50mg of Zoloft in 2012 for general anxiety, social stress and general dissatisfaction. My psychiatrist at the time said "It was about as harmful as taking an aspirin." In 2013 we increased my dose to 75mg. My psychiatrist retired in 2015 and I continued at 75mg through my general doctor's refills. In 2018, I felt I was in a good place and tried to go cold turkey. After a couple of weeks of torture, I returned to 75mg. After learning that I should taper, and also feeling I was in a good place, I decided to reduce my dose to 50mg in July of 2019. Two weeks of intense symptoms ensued but by the end of the second week things became more manageable. I wanted to reduce the symptoms and requested (it took some convincing of my new psychiatrist) a liquid form of Sertraline in August. I reduced to 45mg but felt like I was not getting a consistent dose (sticking to the glass) and it was difficult to swallow even when mixed with water. My psychiatrist recommended that I switch to a 25mg pill + a half and a quarter of another 25mg pill bringing me to 42.5mg in September. I stayed at 42.5mg for September and October and was distracted by a series of sinus infections (antibiotics and 2 rounds of prednisone). Thinking I was ill from the infections, I did not realize most of my symptoms were Zoloft related. All of my symptoms were rationalized but my general doctors. Dizziness, light headed, extreme head pressure, headaches, persistent neck pain, fogginess, loss of appetite, ear pops and pings, jittery, imbalance, loss of equilibrium, flu-like symptoms and tingles in hands...doctors all rationalized them as symptoms of sinus/ear infection and the steroids. This went on for almost 2 months, while somehow I was still functioning. Until I called my psychiatrist last week and he informed me that it might be because we switched to a smaller pill which may have 30% less than is listed on the bottle. He prescribed the 50mg for me and within 2 days I felt somewhat improved, but noticed some brain zaps and the continuation of symptoms. My psychiatrist said that 50mg may not be enough to counteract a withdrawal and that we may need to go up to 75mg to stabilize. This past Sunday (10/27) I upped my dosage to 75mg. I am feeling some improvement, but still not feeling right: light headed, light sensitivity, headaches, fogginess, inconsistent appetite, ear pops and pings, jittery, imbalance and tingles in hands... So I am back where I started, 75mg, and hopefully stabilizing soon. Lots of information here from fellow "survivors" but I am scared. Shouldn't I feel totally better? Could a couple months of enduring withdrawal make stabilizing more difficult? And most importantly, is the 30% margin of error that my psychiatrist shared with me true?? If so, we need to change that! Thank you for your time.
How to talk to loved ones
LostInTheWoods posted a topic in Relationships and social lifeI'm in trouble. I had been struggling with some withdrawal symptoms several weeks ago and some stress from the job triggered a very bad wave. I got dizzy / lightheaded easily, lost appetite and my sleep became very interrupted. I asked my parents for some support and understanding and seeing the situation, they got me a doctor recommended by one of their friends. She turned out to be the typical AD prescribing psychiatrist whose verdict was that my depression relapsed and I needed to go back to SSRIs for a long term. Depression seems to be more or less common among relatives and it has been standard for them to go to a psychiatrist and start taking ADs An uncle was quite desperate and sad as of late and his apparent recovery has cemented among my family the whole notion of the chemical imbalance and how certain people need drugs to function Reluctantly and under pressure from family and the psychiatrist, I accepted to take fluoxetine and alprazolam. The last I don't mind that much because it has helped me sleep in a moment I badly needed it but fluoxetine I already regret it (worse than paroxetine for me). What kind of site or book I can show them to convince them of the dangers of ADs? I would happily show them this site, but knowing them, they are going to call this forum biased and dismiss it as "you can find any opinion over everything on the internet". Is there something in the mainstream speaking against ADs that can make my family open their eyes?
noah1111 posted a topic in Introductions and updatesHello, I just wanted to thank you for having information in these forums to not only help me taper off my medications, but to also help me understand I am not alone in this endeavor. Unfortunately, like many of you, I ended up on these meds by doctors too quick to prescribe; and now I'm the one holding the ball. I'm currently on Lyrica 25mg twice a day (50mg total daily). Oxycontin 10mg 3x a day (30mg total daily). Clonazepam .25mg in am and .5mg in pm (total .75mg daily). My goal is to get off all of these. I am currently on a hold on tapering my oxycontin and would like to taper off the Lyrica because I believe it's making my tongue swell and I can hardly swallow. I've been on Lyrica for about the past 5 yrs and was originally taking 200mg daily. I weaned down to where I am now and have held here for about 2 yrs. I've read the post on tapering Lyrica. I am at the lowest capsule dose available for am and pm. I stopped tapering 2 yrs ago because I didn't know how to taper with opening casules. Of course, past doctors have told me that you can't get W/D's from Lyrica, but they have a mutual understanding with the big pharm companies/ or just ignorant. I finally have a great FNP who understands about withdrawls. I notice in tapering off Lyrica you mention going off 10% from last dose each month. I was just wondering what the best way for me to taper 10% when I'm taking Lyrica in 2 doses per day? Do taper 10% off the morning and 10% off the evening? Do I try to take one dose per day and taper from there? (although I don't know how my body would react trying to go to one dose when I feel W/D's within hours of not taking a dose) My prescriber had told me to open the capsule and pour a little out each day, but I'd like to be more consistent. Would it be beneficial to have her prescribe me the oral Lyrica from the pharmacy and then taper each the morning and evening? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm desperate, feeling like hell on earth from side effects and have no where to turn. Thank you so much for listening

Overview of the APEC RO-CTOP-C Portable Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System
This best portable countertop RO system is ideal for those who need a reverse osmosis system to purify but don't have enough undersink space for installing an under sink RO system. And if you just rent an apartment, you also can rely on this countertop water filter. Anyway, you can take it anywhere you like.
The APEC RO-CTOP-C Portable Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System features easy installation, and you just need to get this RO system up and running by attaching it to a standard tap faucet. That's all. It is so effortless, isn't it? Once you have connected it to the faucet, let this system sit on the counter and it will work for you and provide you with clean filtered water.
And this system also allows you to choose between tap water and filter water. The faucet adapter features a special design which allows you to do that. You can allow water to pass through the RO system and you also can allow water to directly pass through the water faucet, because sometimes you may not need filtered water. A waste water tube is also included. Therefore, waste water are led to flow down the sink drain.
As a portable water filter, the dimension of this system is 16 inches x 6.5 inches x 6.5 inches and the weight is only 7 lbs. Even if it is compact, you can use it to get up to 90 gallons of filtered water per day and it is a 4-stage reverse osmosis system. And you also don't need to worry about the output water flow. Compared to other RO systems, it also performs well. The output may be influenced by the temperature and pressure of the source water.
Besides its large output, it is also very efficient and leads less waste water. It only produces 2 gallons of waste water while producing 1 gallon filtered water. Other RO systems may produce up to 3 gallons of waste water by offering 1 gallon of filtered water. Therefore, this filter is helpful to save some water and money for you.
As it is only a countertop RO system, it doesn't come with a storage tank that is used to hold filtered water. This means when you use it to get pure water, and it will produce filtered water but not offer you filtered water from a storage tank. Sometimes, if the source water temperature or pressure is low, you may need to wait for some time to allow it to fill your container with fresh filtered water. If the pressure is not a problem, you can get clean water very soon.
Although as a portable RO system, it has its limitations. Due to its lightweight feature and small size, it is perfect for RVs, hotel rooms, apartments and other places where a large under sink water filter cannot be installed.
Filtration System Design
This APEC RO system features a compact design but comes with all filters. Its RO membrane is clipped to a back plate and enclosed in a case. It uses a single hose to dispense filtered water. And a double hose is used to attach to the water faucet for feed water and waste water.
The stage 1 and 2 water filters are self-contained. It is recommended to replace them every 6 months. However, how long the stage 1 and 2 water filters can last depends on the quality of the source water. And the replacement is also pretty easy. Push fit connectors, and remove their hoses, and remove the old filers, and clip in the new replacement filters. At last, reattach their hoses. That's all.
The core stage is the 4 stage. Generally, it is recommended to replace its filters every 2 to 5 years, depending on how you use it to purify water. And the replacement process is similar to the stage 1 and 2 filters. The only difference is that you need to remove its lock clip at the first.
The RO membrane should be replaced every 2 to 5 years. And the replacement process is not difficult but you need to pay attention on something and don't it carefully. Before removing the membrane house cap, you need to remove its tubing first. And then, you need to use a pair of pliers to pull out its old membrane. And then just insert the new RO membrane. This step is very important. You need to make sure the end with 2 black O rings is inserted first. At last, you just replace its end cap and the tubing. After the installation, it is recommended to run water through it for about 15 minutes and this can help to flush and clean the membrane. After that, you can use it to get pure water to drink.
Water Efficiency
To our surprise, this RO system doesn't waste water. It only produces 2 gallons of waste water by providing 1 gallon of fresh clean water, while other large under-sink reverse osmosis system may produce up to 3 gallons of waste water by offering 1 gallon of filtered water.
Ease of Installation
The installation is also very easy. If you are the first time to install a water filter, you can get a full copy of the installation manual on its official website, just click here to learn more. here
And you also can install it with ease. This system uses an aerator to allow you to install it onto a faucet. The whole process only takes you about several minutes. It comes with a lot of adapters which are compatible with most faucets. First, you need to unscrew the aerator by hand. If you find it is not so easy, you may need a plier to help you loosen it. Once you have removed the aerator, just screw in an adapter, and then attach its connect valve to your faucet.
And then turn your faucet and open its feed valve to allow water to run through. Later, filtered water will flow out of its outlet pip. After installation, you need to turn on it and let water run through for about 15 minutes. This can flush the whole system, making the filtered water much cleaner.
The water temperature and pressure can influence its output. If the water is very cold first, you can use a little hot water and add to it to make it warmer. And then, the output will be increased.
Advantages & Disadvantages:
- Portability – This system is easy to install and very portable.
- Higher Output – This system is able to produce up to 90 gallons of filtered water per day.
- Produces less waste water – 1 gallon of filtered water only lead 2 gallons of waste water, lower than other systems
- Lightweight – only weighs 7 lbs.
- Effective to remove up to 99% of pollutants and contaminants in our water
- Comes with a 1-year limited warranty
- Local technical customer support that is free for the whole lifetime of this system.
- Manufactured in the USA, not imported from other countries
- Doesn't comes with a storage tank to hold water
- The system may need some time to fill a large container, even if the water pressure is enough.
- Only work with mainstream standard faucet types
- Filters are not so easy to be changed.
- May take up some countertop space
The Bottom Line
As a countertop water filter, we cannot expect it performs as an advanced under-sink RO system. However, also because of its compact design and portability, it is perfect for those who just don't have undersink space to install an under sink water filter. Therefore, if you are a student, travelers, or just live in a rented apartment, this countertop RO system is the perfect choice. Compared to other types of countertop water filters, this RO system ensures the high quality of filtered water.
In a word, this one is the best countertop water filter you can trust.

It's funny, the Planner and myself being business people schedule everything. So today we planned our next 3 dates next week. Sunday at her place, Wednesday at on off shoot of my singles group, and Friday at a free concert with my group. Fun, dinner, and Pente will follow.
I tell you sales people are on my life ticks on a coon hound. Jeez they won't stop calling here. I made a few appointments to meet with them. More for others who I can refer to, but there starting to overshadow my patients which is never good.
Other than that I'm enjoying texting back and forth with the Planner today. A mix of feelings and just stuff. I forgot how nice it is to do this kind of relationship stuff. With the last few women I've dated this aspect was missing. I was feeling so good I sent her a card. Hopefully she'll have it Monday.

The UK and Russia are now at war, with the potential — some say intention — of igniting WWIII.
This news was recently revealed by an unnamed source from the UK's Permanent Joint Headquarters:
"RAF Tornado pilots have been … given the green light to defend themselves if they are threatened by Russian pilots"
And, says another top-level military source:
"We're taking a step closer to war. It will only take one plane to be shot down in an air-to-air battle and the whole landscape will change."
International Business Times, October 11, 2015
One country giving the green light for its military to fire on another country's military is, de facto, a declaration of war.
So, where are the full-page newspaper headlines screaming out this catastrophic turn of events? As of writing, I can't find a single mention of our new war status on the BBC's Web site. The Daily Telegraph seems unaware of any of this. The Independent. The Guardian. Nothing. The obvious conclusion is that the mainstream media are in no particular hurry to tell us we're at war with Russia. It's a disturbing thought that many will automatically write off as "conspiratorial". The lack of appropriately extensive and honest coverage is, however, demonstrable. [Note: today there were a few sanitized media accounts of this development.]
Isn't it a little odd that, after months of pushing the outrageous lie that it was Russian aggression, and not, as is the case, EU fascism and US terrorism that caused the coup and subsequent war in Ukraine, and after months of telling us how the West must "sanction" Russia in all kinds of ways for its crimes, the mainstream media is now silent when we arrive at precisely the place that it has been nudging us toward all along: War with Russia. It's as though the media wants the war to get a foothold before most of us become aware of it, so that it will be harder for us to do anything to stop it. (This "too-late-to-change-it-now" scam is a tried-and-trusted EU "lawmaking" tactic.)
The question needs to be asked: Who will benefit by us being at war with Russia? Well, the list is long, and it includes a government that is already imposing an optional "austerity" regime on us; what better austerity is there than a ration book? The list also includes the EU, which will surely be able to declare that only solidarity — i.e. complete federalization and an EU military — can possibly protect us from Putin's hordes. Brexit will quickly become lost in the shuffle. Then there's the "Green" Nazis, who already are trying to create a "sustainable" wartime economy, including the rationing of food, petrol and electricity, along with the negation of personal liberty. How happy must fascistic useful idiots such as Green Party (UK) leader Natalie Bennett, "climate change" snake oil salesman Bill McKibben, and the Carbon Conman-in-Chief, Al Gore, be that we're finally in a war. Any war.
Of course, the biggest beneficiaries will be the same class of people who have (started and) benefitted from all of the world's major wars: the international banking cartel. As we know, these monsters start wars, because wars create a global market for their armaments and allow them to centralize global power and to steal world resources on a grand scale. War also allows them to create their Technocratic Hell-on-Earth in the dark, while the rest of us, we "useless eaters", are dazzled into compliance by the BBC's "push" pro-war propaganda and by CNN's and others' constant war mongering and psychotropic war graphics.
In short, the entire global establishment, and particularly the handful of people at the top, some of whom are no doubt Russian, will benefit wonderfully well from the UK's nascent war with Russia, particularly when it escalates to WWIII. The only people who will suffer, again, will be us, we folk who, in theory, are supposed to get a democratic say in the worthiness of the causes that we will die for, or send our family and loved ones to die for. And, in a perverse way, we should suffer for it, not because any of this is any of our doing, but because it is we who are allowing it to happen.

Darien boys hockey rallies for OT win against rival Rams
Recommended Video:
The first time the rival Darien and New Canaan boys ice hockey teams clashed this winter, the result was a lopsided Blue Wave victory.
The second meeting? Let's just say it was not a repeat performance, even if the Wave ended up on top again.
Darien tied the game with one minute remaining in regulation, and then Bennett McDermott scored the winning goal 3:37 into overtime as the Wave defeated the Rams, 3-2, Friday at the Darien Ice House.
McDermott's winning shot came from the point and sailed through traffic, beating the screened New Canaan goalie Dylan Shane to the far side.
The game was a great rebound for New Canaan, which lost to Darien 8-1 in December, but the Wave was able to fight through for its second win in the rivalry this winter.
"It's just too bad that one team had to lose," Darien head coach Mac Budd said. "It was a great game, it was a fantastic high school game, and really, in many ways. It was everything that the first game wasn't. It displayed the skill level and speed of two very good high school teams."
"I'm really pleased at the way our guys played today as a whole," New Canaan head coach Clark Jones said. "From the goal on out, everybody played a pretty solid game. We had little mistakes which ended up being very costly. It's a tough loss but we're happy with the way we played."
Both goalies delivered big efforts, with Henri Pfieffle collecting 30 saves for Darien, and Shane making 24 stops for New Canaan.
The game is also huge in the race to the postseason, as the Wave is now 6-1-1 overall in the FCIAC, with a chance at the top seed, while the Rams are 4-4-0 and tied for fifth place in the conference. Six teams will qualify for the FCIAC playoffs, which begin on Feb. 24.
Overall, Darien is 7-8-1 while New Canaan is 7-9.
Will Dickson, who scored twice for the Wave, opened the scoring with a power play goal at the 7:05 mark of the second period, but the Rams responded with their own power play goal three minutes later.
Gunnar Granito scored the New Canaan goal when he tipped in a shot from the point by defenseman Walker Ker. Seamus O'Hora also assisted on the play.
Ker then put the Rams ahead 2-1 on another power play goal 1:15 into the third period, firing a shot through a screen and into the net. Chase Glover and Turner Ives had the helpers on that goal.
"Walker played a total, complete game today and was solid on the back end for us," Jones said. "He's getting better every day which is what you're looking for. A lot of the work we've done with him is offensively getting the puck at the point, taking steps towards the middle and then releasing and doing it with your eyes up. He's been working at that tremendously hard and getting better and better as the games have gone on."
Shane and the New Canaan defense held off some strong challenges by the Wave for more than 12 minutes, but Darien finally tied the game with a minute on the clock.
Dickson won the puck from a Ram defenseman behind the New Canaan net, swooped out to the left and at a difficult angle, spun and fired the puck top shelf to make it 2-2.
The Wave nearly won it in the final minute, but Shane made a terrific diving save on a shot by Dylan McDermott to keep the score knotted
Bennett McDermott's winner in OT came as he collected the puck just inside the blue line and whipped a goal through traffic.
Having two of their top weapons score in big moments could be a big boost for the Wave in the final weeks of the regular season and into the playoffs.
"That was big for them and I hope it's big for them down the stretch too," Budd said. "Those are definitely two of our highly-skilled players who we're looking to to add some offense. It's huge from the standpoint of getting the win, but also from down the stretch giving them and the team some confidence.
"We were obviously down to the wire there. It certainly wasn't looking good and we were lucky that some guys came up big for us in big moments."
For New Canaan, the loss was definitely disappointing, but also a big improvement from the December meeting with the Wave.
"We think about this as step by step," Jones said. "From a coaching perspective, we're taking major steps in how we're playing — it was an 8-1 game the first time we played them and now structurally, we've tightened things up a lot. The overtime goal and their (first) goal were bounces off the boards. Those bounces happen and sometimes you pay for it and sometimes you don't. Those happened to hurt us."
"The funny thing is New Canaan and Darien were in very similar spots coming into this game," Budd said. "Hopefully, it puts us in a position where if we don't get home ice advantage, at least we'll have a more favorable match-up."

Traders expect another repeat of a flash crash. Joe Saluzzi of Themis Trading has been on the ball with this and has been warning for many years (check out his excellent 60 Minutes piece). Goldman Sachs et al., momentum traders and the algos will inevitably further induce and compound volatility. They are all sheltered behind the facade of liquidity provision.

Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for Face and Body - Review
May 29, 2017 - Zubaida -
Palmer's Skin Therapy Oils are very famous around the world for their effectiveness and multitasking ability. I have dry skin and love to try face and body oils more then lotions or creams. They not only have less chemicals but the natural oils work better in long term. On the other hand oils are not only for dry skin but are equally effective for other skin depending on your usage. For oily skins you can massage them on skin and then wipe with wet cloth to remove extra oil. This way the necessary oils are absorbed and the bothering remains are wiped out. So let me share my opinion on these skin therapy oils.
Skin restorative oils along with natural Cocoa Butter, Retinol and Vitamin C deliver multi-purpose, anti-aging skin benefits.
Ten Pure Oils help moisturize and smooth fine lines and wrinkles while Retinol and Vitamin C help improve and brighten tone and texture. This lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, while the Cetesomate Complex helps deliver all of the essential vitamins and nutrients directly into the epidermal layer of the skin. Skin looks younger-looking with a more glowing and firm appearance.
Hypoallergenic - Paraben Free - Phthalate Free - Dermatologist Tested
Product description for Skin Therapy Oil for Body
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil is an advanced multi-purpose skin perfection product that can be used all over the body. This preservative-free, lightweight formula contains an exclusive blend of key ingredients formulated to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, dry, damaged skin, uneven skin tone, aging skin and fine lines and wrinkles. Skin looks and feels instantly soft and smooth with this unique, non-greasy, non-staining formula.
Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for body is non greasy and you can easily use it after shower without worrying that it will stain your clothes. while this is perfect body oil for winters for every one but if you have dry skin you will love it in every season. It is not heavy and feel light on skin while the light rose scent gives you refreshing feeling. The organic oils including sesame, rosehip, Vitamin E and canola oil with pure cocoa butter in this formula claim to improve the look of your body and reduce the different scars, uneven skin tone and aging signs. On top of that it keeps the dry skin moisturized for very long comparing to other lotions and creams. It definitely improve skin tone and appearance while leaving it soft and smooth. The other best use for this oil is if you wax or shave your body regularly then this oil is your savior. It not only help make your skin better after waxing but also regular use will help with the ingrown hairs which can be very unpleasant.
Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for face is an amazing oil for every skin. It targets the fine lines and wrinkles but you do not have to wait them to appear before using this oil. The blend of 10 oils including rosehip oil, apricot oil, macadamia oil, argan oil and many others will make you love your skin. Apart from these oils it includes vitamin C and ratinol which brighten your skin, help with wrinkles and are even suitable for acne prone skin. The continuous use of this oil will leave your skin smooth and glowing with out making it oily. The very light weight formula keep your skin hydrated for very long and you will see the improvement in your dull and dry skin instantly. It can be perfectly paired with your foundation and you can blend it more easily.
Overall these both oils are worth trying and they will make you love your skin. They leave the skin soft, smooth, hydrating and improves the skin tone and uneven skin. If you are looking for good face or body oil then i will highly recommend to try these one before spending fortune on expensive brands.
In Favor
- Both oils are very light weight

- packaging for both products are very good.
- Leaves the skin soft, smooth and hydrated for long.
- Doesn't feel greasy or stain
- Help improving skin texture and tone

Knock it off...
Sometimes you strike a bargain in RTW that just cries to be knocked off. I ran over to the Nordstrom Rack on my lunch break today to see what was new and found a couple of things that came home with me. One was a really cool top in a leopard print with an empire waist, dolman flutterby sleeves and a cowl neck. Originally $70.00, marked down to $24.75 with 75% off!!! Love the Rack!!! Now I know you are probably saying..."WTH" right now..."Aunt Mary has lost her everloving mind!" This top is darling. And ripe for copying. So that's what I shall do. I really like how it's constructed and it should be one of those quick easy knit tops for when I am long on creating but short on time. The other piece was a cute cream colored cardi to go over those Spring dresses I am dreaming of. I did complete another project yesterday (that I am sworn to secrecy about but will disclose soon) and received my drop from Fabric.com. Insane...I ordered on Tuesday and the goodness arrived on Friday! A big ol' box of fabric that is all perfect!!! This won't be on the shelf for long!!! Later...I need to get off the computer and make a pattern!

Great find! I can't wait to see how you did the knock off. Creating a pattern sounds so hard. I can sew something, put it on a dress form then make changes after, but I've never made a pattern.

A Warning to Us All
Although in the May 2003 local elections the British National Party (BNP) achieved the biggest fascist vote since the late 1970s - its 221 candidates polled around 100,000 votes - it failed to achieve the electoral breakthrough it had been hoping for.
The BNP won a total of 13 seats, seven of them in Burnley alone. In Sunderland none of its candidates were elected but the party won over 13,000 votes.

A great deal has already been written on the recent outbreak of looting across London and in a few other cities. Here is a pick of some of the most thought-provoking and agenda-setting contributions so far:
'The moral decay of our society is as bad at the top as the bottom' by Peter Oborne in The Telegraph
'Tough love: The riots and limits of Liberalism' by David Goodhart on the Respublica Blog
'Looters: Them or us?' by Mike Ovey from Oak Hill College
'Why didn't Merthyr Tydfil or East Ayrshire erupt?' by Stewart Owadally on LabourList
'The C of E's response to the riots has cemented its role in society' by Andrew Brown on Guardian CiF
'Caring costs – but so do riots' by Camila Batmanghelidjh in The Independent
'London riots: the underclass lashes out' by Mary Riddell in The Telegraph
'Being liberal is fine, but we need to be given the right to parent' by Amelia Gentleman in The Guardian
'We've been here before and there is a way back' by Jonathan Sacks (the Chief Rabbi)
Archbishop's statement on the UK riots by John Sentamu, Archbishop of York
Several recent posts by Jon Kuhrt on his Resistance & Renewal blog are interesting and worth reading.
This video of Sheldon Thomas and Gavin McKenna offers a refreshingly honest and 'front-line' view of some of the underlying issues.
And two posts from the other Contextual Theology Centre blogs can be found here and here which detail some responses made by churches across London, and by London Citizens.
It should be emphasised that recommending these articles as agenda-setting contributions does not necessarily imply endorsement of or agreement with the views expressed.

Last week I supported a client at the Electronics Design Show and in our conversations with journalists the hottest topic they are reporting on is M2M or the Internet of Things.
And this week, I had a client meeting in Germany about smart homes – again another potential story about connected devices.
The opportunity is huge, with Cisco predicting back in 2011, that there will be 50 billion internet connected devices by the year 2020.
The thing is that many electronics firms have been helping clients develop M2M products for years, but haven't necessarily used this phrase. Here we need to get old school companies to ride on the coat tails of the hype, whether they like terms such as IoT or not.
The opportunity in terms of PR is also huge. There are stories to be told about a range of subjects including data privacy, smart homes, wearables, the electronics considerations when building M2M devices/apps and new business models.
Security scare stories are always of interest. Concerns re privacy as information from one device transfers to another were highlighted by HPwhen the company recently found that 70% of Internet of Things Devices are vulnerable to attack.
There are also concerns about whether large scale M2M projects will actually work. Take the smart meter programmes across the world where there will be a billion residential smart meters in ten years' time. In all of the machine to machine (M2M) world, the scale of the smart meter rollout (often now mandated by governments and regulators) is one of the largest. Utilities and the governments pushing this initiative need to save face and put in place early system testing to head off problems.
New business models are also high on the agenda. In the utilities sector for example, how will utilities use smart home devices to roll out new services that will reduce customer churn and differentiate them. With Apple and Google entering the smart home, the competition certainly got more interesting.
It's definitely an exciting time for M2M and we're looking forward to helping our clients tell their stories.

Spurs' Derrick White named to final Team USA World Cup roster
SAN ANTONIO – Spurs guard Derrick White's summer will include a trip to China.
White on Saturday was named to the final 12-man Team USA roster for the World Cup after it was determined an ankle injury would sideline the Los Angeles Lakers' Kyle Kuzma.
The rest of the roster includes the Sacramento Kings' Harrison Barnes; the Boston Celtic's Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker; the Brooklyn Nets' Joe Harris; the Milwaukee Bucks' Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton; the Utah Jazz's Donovan Mitchell; the Denver Nuggets' Mason Plumlee; and the Indiana Pacers' Myles Turner.
White's improbable rise to a final roster spot is one of the feel-good stories of Team USA's World Cup journey after he started out as a member of the practice squad. Thanks to a strong week of practice during training camp in Las Vegas and decisions by other players to skip the World Cup, White received a promotion to the roster that journeyed to Australia for practices last week.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who is guiding Team USA in World Cup play and in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, told reporters recently he didn't see White's dramatic progress coming after the Spurs drafted him 29th overall in 2017.
"He's had steady progress, but he is one of those guys, he started out in Division II and ended up playing on our G League team for a couple of years, and he just seemed to get better year-by-year, week-by-week," Popovich said.
Popovich will oversee World Cup preparations next week in Sydney, Australia, including a final exhibition game against Canada on Monday.
Team USA will open World Cup play Sept. 1 against the Czech Republic in Shanghai, China.

I've been training for years to run 10k next month, and I know how difficult it is to juggle having an active lifestyle and family life. Fitness seems to sound like it's a distraction to family time. However, I have actually learned to do that, and in fact able to encourage my wife and kids to stay active with me as well.
Running is a physical activity that your whole family can take part in. Unlike baseball, badminton, or swimming, running can fit any level or ability. And take it from me – it does work for families with kids of any age and background. I'm sure you've heard of more stories like mine of how exercise, such as running and other physical activities, has helped improve the relationship of parents and children in every aspect. It strengthens the bond between partners, enhances the cognitive function, which is especially important for the kids, and it ultimately helps improve the overall health of the family.
In conjunction with running and different types of exercise, there are also other equally important things you can do to maintain or improve your family's well-being.
- Consider Nutrition. Research about what's healthy and unhealthy for everyone. To make it more fun and enriching, include your children in the preparation of meals and snacks. This is so that they can learn about the relationship between eating healthy and staying active, which may motivate them to eat more vegetables and other superfoods. If they're initially not into the greens, throw some in the sauces or soups so they won't notice.

- Encourage The Children To Use Their Energy Positively. Outdoor activities reduce stress and anxiety and enhance concentration. Endorphins are especially abundant in energetic kids, and it would be great if they know how to channel these endorphins into a positive and healthy outlet, which is exercise. You and your partner do have these endorphins too, and if you run or exercise with her and the kids, then it only means a happier and healthier family.
- Get Your Family Excited About Running. Not all kids are that easy to convince that exercise is an awesome way to be fun. If yours are among the difficult ones to persuade, perhaps you can try and disguise the exercise as a game that doesn't necessarily take much effort to do, that it's not a chore. Go to the park, for starters. Divide yourselves into two teams, one kid for each you and your wife. The rule is to find a route that will take you to the carnival or the movie theater via running, jogging, or walking. The team to arrive first wins, and gets a pass to the snacks and movies!
- Incorporate Health Into Their Gadgets. Nowadays, people, including parents like us, can't live without technology. Kids particularly are becoming less interested in going outdoors and joining physical activities either with friends or family. However, as parents, we must find a compromise, and we can find that in children's apps that are great at getting them to run, dance, or walk – whatever healthy movements one can think of. The Nike mobile app is an example of a program that is geared toward helping families run together and record each of the member's speed. The program has proven itself beneficial, and teenagers have been tracking their progress and excited to run not only to stay fit but to receive special gifts from Nike.
- Set Short-Term And Long-Term Goals. You can set the short-term goal to be something that the kids want to have or go over the weekend, like an overnight stay at their cousins' or that new pair of sneakers. Set it so that they can run at least three or four times during the week at a given speed. The long-term goal would be nice if it were something that the whole family can do, such as an interstate vacation when school ends. The motivation and interests peaks when aiming for goals that everybody will love.
Join Free Weekly Runs. You have trained together as a family, and assuming you've been doing well, a free weekly run organized by the community would make a wonderful experience. Weekly runs are usually less than 5 kilometers, and the rules are not at all rigid. You can jog or walk when you're exhausted, and you can even stop if you think you can't make a finish. You can start your family from there, and then go for the bigger runs after a few months. Go for the 10K or the marathon – go for it together.

Making it to the finish line is such as amazing achievement, but so does losing weight through family dances or workouts, and lifestyle modification for everybody. All this shows off the determination, patience, and teamwork that have helped your family accomplish the goal, which is to improve the family's well-being by staying active.

Unusual signs for Mum's garden, Mum's greenhouse or Mum's potting shed. Ideal Mother's Day presents for the Mum who is proud of her special place.
Every piece of slate has different textures and tones, making each sign beautifully unique. I cut the slate by hand, treat it with Danish oil then engrave through the finish, leaving the engraved area in its natural state. As it is engraved, the text won't peel or fade and the sign will last for years outside.
Treat yourself or your Mum to a lovely sign for their special place.
Choose the options from the drop down boxes. I make slate signs for Mum's allotment, garden, vegetable patch, greenhouse, potting shed and shed. There's even one for Mum's workshop, for all of us who work from home or do arts and crafts in our shed.
The signs are finished with a galvanised steel wire rope which won't rust or rot. The steel rope also hangs more easily.
I carefully wrap your sign in tissue and place it in a box so it is ready for you to wrap once you have removed the outer packaging.
Dimensions: 10cm x 25cm approximately

Recent campaign finance reports show money is pouring into a "vote yes" committee for the extension of Colorado Springs' road tax on the Nov. 5 ballot, while district attorney candidates' donations are fairly evenly matched for the 2020 election.
Road contractors, local developers and construction companies helped "Building COS," the committee supporting the .57 percent tax for roads, accumulate $135,090. The campaign has spent $90,815, mostly on radio ads and mailers.
The biggest donor, at $50,000, was business activist group Colorado Springs Forward. Work Zone Traffic Control Inc. of Pueblo gave $20,000.
SpringsTaxpayers.com, which opposes the measure, launched a radio ad against 2C but hasn't yet filed a campaign finance report.
In the DA's race, El Paso County Commissioner Mark Waller and Senior Deputy District Attorney Michael Allen, both Republicans, are vying for an open seat created by DA Dan May, who cannot seek a fourth term. Waller has brought in $35,895, which includes a $10,000 personal loan, while Allen logged in $21,750 in contributions.


text: BUSINESS Styles converge on new k.d. lang album 4:00 AM PST 1/4/2008 by Michael D. Ayers, Billboard , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty NEW YORK -- k.d. lang hasn't treated her fans to new original material in eight years, but that'll change on Feb. 5th, when she releases "Watershed" (Nonesuch). The 11-song set was written and recorded over several years and is the first set of material to be produced by lang herself."I fell naturally into the production role, in the initial performances that went on tape ... I felt that's where the real creative essence lay, and I wanted to preserve those and bring those forward into a beautiful sounding record," lang tells Billboard.com."I think what was liberating is that it's really hard to translate your vision in audio to other people," she continues. "It gets interpreted in so many different ways. In some ways it can be enhancing, but [on 'Watershed'] there is sort of a convergence of all the different styles I have tackled and listened to. There's essence of country, there's essences of pop, there's essences of Brazillian."lang describes the process as being very "mobile," from recording in her dining room, painting studio and also on the go, utilizing her laptop and Pro Tools. lang also cites her recent work with Tony Bennett and covering Canadian songwriters as helpful in creating "Watershed.""The Tony record was rehearsed in his living room, overlooking Central Park. And it was actually recorded live off a stage, in a theatre," she recalls. "It was very much play the song and record it. But it made me very focused on the performance and not any overdubbing."lang will be on tour for most of the spring, with dates covering most of the United States and Australia confirmed so far.Here is the track list for "Watershed":"I Dream of Spring""Coming Home""Once in a While""Thread""Close Your Eyes""Sunday""Flame of the Uninspired""Upstream""Shadow and the Frame""Jealous Dog"------ FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Michael D.

The Oran Mor is an ancient oral tradition found in some Celtic areas which at the present has not been widely written about. It resides like a deep pool of wisdom and meaning yet to be explored. Basically, Oran Mor means Great Song, and it is used in some places as one of the old names for God or Divine Spirit or Creator. The underlying idea is that Creation is a Great Song sung into existence by the Divine Spirit who is also that Great Song. I suppose it is similar to the idea that you can't separate the "dancer from the dance." You can't separate the singer from the song.
This notion of the Creator and Creation as One is found in other Celtic traditions. You can find it in the writings of the Irish spiritual teacher John Scotus Erigena who put it this way, "Everything that is, is He." You can even detect it in the Irish language where duile (elements) and dulra (nature) contain the same root word as Duileamh, a concept that is not easily translated into English with a single word. Clearly Duileamh refers to some "Being" who is either the "Elements" or the "Source of the Elements" or "in the Elements." The phrase "God of the Elements," a phrase popular in many Celtic Christian prayers, comes somewhat close, but that English phrase would be translated into Irish as Dia na Duile. So we are back to the mystery.
But back to the Oran Mor. Although this phrase is uniquely Gaelic and deserves to be explored from and within other Gaelic and Celtic traditions, the general concept itself appears in other cultures around the world. We find it in many origin tales where Creation is sung into existence, where Creation is made up of vibrations or some kind of energy similar to music or the human voice. Frank MacEowen describes a personal experience he had of the Oran Mor in Scotland in The Celtic Way of Seeing. He concludes, "I … felt the music of the universe in everything, including every one of my cells. It was, to use a different expression, an instance of connecting with the 'music of the spheres,' of God, the Tao, the Great Mother's lullaby: it was the Great Song."
Another description of the Oran Mor that I came across recently in Heron Dance (a small journal of artwork , inspirational writing, and interviews worth checking out at www.herondance.org) is a quote from Aldo Leopold, an early conservationist who wrote A Sand County Almanac which is one of the seminal works in the literature of conservation and ecological thinking. The quote is from that work.
The sound of waters is audible to every ear, but there is other music in these hills, by no means audible to all. To hear even a few notes of it you must first live here for a long time, and you must know the speech of hills and rivers. Then on a still night, when the campfire is low and the Pleiades have climbed over rimrocks, sit quietly and listen for a wolf to howl, and think hard of everything you have seen and tried to understand. Then you may hear it—a vast pulsing harmony—its score inscribed on a thousand hills, its notes the lives and deaths of plants and animals, its rhythms spanning the seconds and the centuries.
Winter has its own music. A music of silence and emptiness, when the snow sits quietly on the hillsides at night, and the temperature drops without a sound into some realm of coldness that only the cold-blooded can endure. If you were there, the creek and its icy banks would play some soft duet for you. But you are not. You hear only the sound of blankets rubbing your cheek, as one ear listens to the cushioned folds of the pillow tucked beneath your neck. The lone wolf or dog somewhere in the dark howls its discontent with something or other. The always quiet first light at dawn brightens the sky and maybe—with all critters hoping—will bring the sun itself into the visible world for a cloudless morning when the color blue shouts across the heavens with a great voice. One of the cats begins its morning song for food. And so your own song starts with your feet pattering on the cold floor. A new fire in the stove crackles and spits, logs shift with a thudding note. The coffee percolates, a groaning sound. Sunlight appears bringing Jack Frost's artwork on the window pane to life, and then to a dance that drips into its own death. The rhododendron leaves uncurl joyfully. And another winter day begins.
It's winter. The Oran Mor sings its winter song. It is in both the cold and silent world outside and in the warm stirrings of your hearth. It is in your cells, heart, blood. It sings in everything you see and hear. Watch. Listen. Join in. You can't separate the singer from the song.
