GREENPEACE COMPLIMENT APPLE
Interesting developments with manufacturers beginning to accept responsibility for "market dumping" of obsolete and superseded equipment by beginning to offer return or recyclable options.
We all need to do our bit to reduce our own consumption as we can see every little piece counts and we need to show the world that we can survive with out the need to have Nuclear energy forced upon us by their manipulation of the facts.

HEALING RELATIONSHIPS FOR MAN AND EARTH
Floating a new story about oil
To my old friends and country mates and any one who cares for man kind and children.
I have been ferreting for Johnny Howard’s hats and rabbits in case he produces some of that election trickery from up his sleeve. We really do need a change of attitude if we are going to have any hope of a healing relationship for individuals, society and earth.
Other wise this lame form of social management will lead us to real deep of despair whilst all the big end of town cash down. What next, rats and mice deserting a sinking ship I suppose?
What was that little media squirt about with three faces on the front bench being around for too long story, urm. Reckon that might have been a dummy?
Been a bit of rain lately so “Malcolm Drought” has been rather busy looking for a new tree to Frog Up in. We did hear “Old Drought” declare “that other states had conducted themselves in a business like manner apparently he is hopeful of some agreement” so he was taking the Frog and Camel train south hoping he could get a drink from Victoria but seems he has run into some “Brackish” waters. Just listen to this “tuggers” sleazy language… conducted themselves……. Augh for want of a big German shepherd when you need one.
Do we need the rivers locked up for private Babylon enterprise?
So we can direct all the National waters into the Macquarie system. That’s the play, big, big money for private enterprise in water, QANTAS nearly gone now along with the Australian cotton industry down the Macquarie shute, cling.
What pompous deceitful arrogance from the plumed mouth gentleman scholar. Wide Mouth Tree Frog him. Not so, clever by half me thinks, I’d like him to try him crutching fly blown lambs at Wilcannia or cattle trading with Sir Sidney Kidman.
If you are coming to Sydney see if you can stuff a few more Rabbits in your bag, a couple for Russell Crowe and two for John and Malcolm. Try anything these shysters, and quite possibly get away with it too. Now that Blair’s gone and Bush is burning out I think little Johnnie’s rocket will fizzle off the scene too, until he and his associates are subpoenaed to the international Court of Justice to answer for their war crimes. Former President Jimmy Carter was condemned as a peanut by these gun toting’ cowboys, but now he returns to PASTE them as the war criminals they are and have been. Well that is my view and supported by many civil minded person.
With Howard gone Abbott and Costello can return to their old comedy routine, and Shirley Temple Downer, well he was always destined for greater things with his SA supremacy, how he has managed to hang around with this pack of bag men without loosing his virginity must have been really difficult.
Maybe he can retire gracefully to the Boards of the Reserve and Macquarie Banks. You know years ago Al Grasby had it right when he used to call about on the “Banks of the Murrumbidgee”, way before his time that man of “Salvation Jane” fame he was just a couple of rivers away from Babylon himself.
How about “Cyclone Mike” moving into cloud the electorate, upgraded too, from a depression to move onto land and play Hockey what a change in the wither and dither. This Weather Man moving in with a storm, spins me out, measuring “X” on the “rector” scale or what, need more than Colonel Peter Crossgrove to manage this fall out.
On the blog I mention OD and EVIL, and then the theatre connection started to form.
From the Ducks view it has turned into a really sad real live drama.
What with the Miners playing “tin man”, Johnnie the crying Lion with a splinter in his foot. Dorothy and the Scare Crow all “Following the yellow brick road”. To the APEAC conference in their Ned Kelly jackets (according to an idea in Fitz's files) as we shut down Sydney for their dance through the city to see the Wizards of Oz. The wonderful wizard of Oz, maybe the PM is considering he could need a new home loan, well that would make some sense of a trip to Wizard.
Laughable, but real, that makes it even more frightening.

Wouldn’t be so funny if wasn’t true Folks.
As a civilization this predatory mentality of economic domination has been forever destined to collapse and consume itself and the opposition, of course the aggressor knows and expects to fight forever. The cold wars over and over.
Our Christian indoctrination is so heavy that we are terrified we will be immediately atomise and condemned to hell if we even consider that OD didn’t do the trick in 7 days. Man that is so bloody sad when innocent people are deliberately led to war by Pied Pipers like GW Bush and even worse when these otherwise decent but gullible fear filled souls actually believe lasting peace maybe achieved by killing, traumatising and wounding whole nations of men women and children.
However, the intrinsic values of our world are emotional. Some experience the binding cellular loving sense experienced within the being as pleasant or unpleasant, “warm fuzzies or prickles”. We feel these things most when we are with loved ones, or when loved or little ones are hurt or threatened in any way.
However, when man becomes so obsessed with his ‘mental self’ the cognitive brain, that all his time is occupied there he just denies his emotions and as we have sped in the future for the past 50 years trying to keep up, supply, consume, repay and also impress those around and before us, our repetitive actions and behaviour became habitual and we forgot about the body of man, individually and collectively.
Remember also, how he refused to say sorry to the stolen generation, how arrogant was that, to deny an apology to the people who had live on and from this land for they say 40,000 years and we have arrive at place of real international concern in just what, 10.000 years, bring that forward if you will to the 1850’s and the industrial revolution, or even to 1900 factories and agricultural machinery, steam engines, motor vehicles and tractors etc. So a litte over 100 years and whammo we gone, lost the farm.
There is absolutely no doubt that we as a community gave accepted the reality of our predicament and have actually “Gone About” during the past 6 months, the progressing changes, and developments are looking very positive as thousands of new businesses join in the wake of this new enterprise sailing to clear open uncharted waters, the adventure has us almost back in the Argonaut as we search once more for that golden fleece of sustainability.
Here is the evidence that we need to understand. Not unlike the tobacco, and asbestos industries who denied their culpability for years, here we see a rather balanced collection of programs showing the sun down of oil and givings us detailed opportunity to ressurect our way.

BUSH BLAIR BLIND SAYS CARTER
Free speech and Democracy, toady's post here below recording a statement from the
Sydney Morning Herald by former USA President Carter.
- We ask for your consideration about where the Australian USA alliance fits into the story?
- I am very mindful for the members of the military forces and their families who are being used, abused and exposed to these seriously dangerous efforts to contribute to world peace. We acknowledge and give thanks to all who are affected and especially express our commiserations to the traumatised, wounded women, men and families of all sides whilst also questioning the insanity of peace supposed to be achieved by killing, sanctions, domination and intimidation.
That shared knowledge of US presidents has traditionally transcended politics to bring together such diverse figures as George Bush and his predecessor, Bill Clinton, Mr Clinton and George Bush snr, and Jimmy Carter and the late Gerald Ford.
But in a break with this norm Mr Carter delivered a blistering critique of George Bush jnr in two interviews published on Saturday. And on Sunday the White House responded in kind, calling his comments sad and Mr Carter irrelevant.
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Carter talked about Tony Blair, the outgoing British Prime Minister, and his relationship with Mr Bush, calling it "loyal, blind, apparently subservient".
"I think that the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world," Mr Carter said.
In a telephone interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Mr Carter said: "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this Administration has been the worst in history."
The White House initially declined to comment, but as the interviews received wide coverage, the deputy spokesman, Tony Fratto, responded: "I think it's sad that President Carter's reckless and personal criticism is out there. I think it's unfortunate, and I think he is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments."
The New York Times.
Blair 'blind' in support for Bush, says Carter
Every time I see that supposedly intimidating photo of the bullet proof limo a real BLACK MARIA ferrying US VICE President Dick Cheney over the empty Sydney Harbour Bridge under helicopter surveillance I see him and his entourage in rehearsal for the gangster thieves planning their get away with our NATIONAL dignity, sweat, tears, future resources and our savings too. This mob are the biggest party of MAFIA, running their VICE over all governments of the world.

There will be no intermission this is the game of life and we need to learn how to fly it.
Till now we have all been fleeced, tricked as innocent Lambs and Children to the Slaughter.
Remember Goldilocks and Grandma Fox with teeth to eat you with, or Hansel and Gretel and Rip van Winkle.

Synchronous Passing
WELCOME BACK FOLKS
A article from today 18.05.07. Sydney Daily Telegraph telling of the synchronous passing of two inseparable lovers caught my attention and also triggered to consciousness elements of amazing interconnection during my dis -identification relationship training with Halko Weiss, posted elsewhere on this blog.
Further reference about the intensity of such relational connection maybe read in the book "A General Theory of Love". As Hakomi therapists we understand the imperative reality of limbic connections of client and therapist. An emotional sensitive connection.
By inviting, waiting for, giving opportunity to, creating and allowing mindfulness to full trust, feelings of genuine inner warmth and relational safety makes the way we need to connect limbically and work at this magnificent place of therapeutic intimacy. Here is where formerly denied suffering, shame and hurt are allowed to pass and receive personal contrition.
We respectfully offer or commiserations to the family and also acknowledge the devotion and loving connection of the late couple and we would like to share the story from a man and his wife who were inseparable throughout 55 years of marriage and are reported to have died within minutes of each other in different locations across Melbourne.
When police arrived at Arthur Fisher's home in the Melbourne suburb of Ivanhoe this week with the news that his wife, Pat, had died unexpectedly in hospital, they found he too had slipped away peacefully in his sleep.
The devoted couple's children are devastated to have lost both parents on the same night.
But they believe the pair, who couldn't live without each other, somehow found a way to be together forever.
"Some things in life are impossible to understand," daughter Lynette Court said.
"It's uncanny, and it gave me goosebumps when I found out what had happened.
"But we have spoken about it and we really believe that they literally couldn't live without each other."
Art, 78, had been struggling with a kidney complaint, but it wasn't considered life-threatening.
Pat, 77, had recently been diagnosed with cancer and was in the Austin Hospital preparing to start her treatment.
"Dad cried when he was told about mum's cancer, because for the past few years she has been his constant carer," Lynette said.
"This was after he had spent his whole adult life loving, looking after and protecting her.
"They did everything together and were always there for each other, from making bread together and gardening and camping under the stars."
Married in 1951 after meeting on a bus, the couple raised children John, Lynette and Dianne.
They were blessed with eight grandchildren and more recently their first great-grandchild.
Art was a hard-working boiler-maker until retirement at 65 allowed him to be his wife's constant companion at their Heidelberg Heights home.
"They both loved that: pottering around together, doing everything together," Lynette said.
While Pat's cancer diagnosis was a shock, her children did not expect to lose their mother so soon.
"But the hospital rang dad at 3.30am on Monday and left a message for him to contact them.
"When he failed to return their call, they got the local police to go and knock on his door, and when they climbed through a window, they discovered that he had also died," Lynette said.
"We were just shocked the next morning when we got to his house and heard the answering machine message from the hospital, because we realised he would have slipped away at about the same time as mum."
A joint funeral for the loving couple will be held in Ivanhoe this morning.
In yesterdays Daily Telegraph there was another story from London about a son finding his 87 year old English parents deceased. The husband apparently had cut the cord on his electric mower and electrocuted himself, his wife appears to have gone to her husbands aid and she too was electrocuted.
Of course the rational pragmatist would immediately dismiss both of these stories as mere coincidences, we would expect them to maintain their right to that view be they dead or alive. They have the same attitude to old growth forest, global warming and acid rain.

Earths Water
WE NEED TO LINK AND WORK TOGETHER LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Water covers 71% the Earth's surface, the oceans contain 97.2% of Earth's water. The Antarctic ice sheet, which contains 90% of all fresh water on Earth, is visible at the bottom. Condensed atmospheric water can be seen as clouds, contributing to the earth's albedo.
Thank you for your interest and contribution in expanding the universal consciousness as this era of AQUARIUS is accepted and integrated for the benefitof Earth and all life upon and within her.

You Might Just Need An Eco-Therapist
Filed on May 15, 2007 at 5:21 PM PST By Michael dEstries
Share: More by this writer
Let's face it. Before Global Warming, Peak Oil, and the demise of bees came along, we all had plenty of other things to worry about. Now that we're in the thick of leading "greener" lives, some of the information out there can sometimes make the task a little overwhelming. Thankfully, there are those out there willing to lend a hand.
For instance, Melissa Pickett, an eco-therapist in Santa Fe, sees between 40 to 80 eco-anxious patients a month. Whoa.
They complain of panic attacks, sleepless nights, weakness and "the eerie feeling that their cells are twitching." I haven't quite had that experience yet -- but I can attest to the buzz of four cups of organic coffee producing similar results.
Needless to say, we all experience the highs and lows of constantly attempting to reinvent our lives (for the better) while also revisiting the question of "Is what I'm doing really making a difference?" Visiting eco websites, attending green drink parties, talking to other "positive" individuals can all help. Therapist Melissa Pickett often recommends her clients carry natural objects, like certain minerals, for a period of weeks. Hey, whatever gets your groove back, Stella.
That's all Folks, back soon.

ENVIRONMENTAL DEPRESSION
Fortunately this Duck lives near the sea so we can still Float now and again to Ponder ways to support each other through this moment of rebirth from the gestation of the past 2000 years and we deal with the symbolic breaking of waters of a patriarchal impregnated society, a society now about to deliver new life to the family of man.
Planet Earth
Modelling our universe and earth, displaying the energy frequencies rising to higher consciousness from the
base RED with ACIDIC ph through YELLOW, ORANGE to
GREEN with a ph of 7 neutral, stilled water.
Displaying the 7 frequencies of refracted visible white sun light to states of higher consciousness of
INDIGO and VIOLET the refined sensitive frequencies.
Solar energy, sun light the charge of our being.
How can it possibly be that in the long term the economy of a nation could ever possibly be more important than the health of the planet and the life within and upon the alms of earth beneath our feet.
Found within our self, no external stimuli, is required to ignite our flame. The flame of life burns within us all and it is all the same one flame regardless. We are not separate from each other so now we are coming to- get- her.
The time of Divisive politics to rule over materialistic destruction and predatory competition must take a secondary position to the life of earth and its succours.

FLOATING WITH WICKI
An isolation tank is a lightless, soundproof tank in which subjects float in salty water at skin temperature. They were first used by John C. Lilly in 1954 in order to test the effects of sensory deprivation. Such tanks are now also used for meditation, relaxation, and in alternative medicine.
Isolation tanks were originally called sensory deprivation tanks. Other synonyms for "isolation tank" include float tank, floating tank, floater tank, floatation tank, REST tank, floatation baths, John Lilly tank and sensory attenuation tank.
A therapeutic session in a flotation tank typically lasts an hour. For the first forty minutes it is reportedly possible to experience itching in various parts of the body (a phenomenon also reported to be common during the early stages of meditation). The last 20 minutes often end with a transition from beta or alpha brainwaves to theta, which typically occur briefly before sleep and again at waking. In a float tank the theta state can last for several minutes without the subject losing consciousness. Many use the extended theta state as a tool for enhanced creativity and problem-solving or for super learning. Spas sometimes provide commercial float tanks for use in relaxation. Floatation therapy has been academically studied in the USA and in Sweden with published results showing reduction of both pain and stress[1]. The relaxed state also involves lowered blood pressure and maximal blood flow.
Floating can be passive or active, depending on the purpose. For relaxation, one simply floats and becomes the observer of the body/mind system. Active floating has many different techniques. One may perform meditation, mantras, self-hypnosis, utilize educational programs, etc. The idea of active floating is that, when the body is relaxed, the mind becomes highly suggestible and any action taken during these states will enter the information into the sub-conscious. Floatation therapy may be used complimentary to other body work and healing methods.
Famous Users
The physicist Richard Feynman wrote about his experiences with sensory deprivation in a floatation tank in one of his popular books, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!. Feynman was invited to try the isolation tank at John Lilly's home after Lilly attended one of Feynman's popular lectures on quantum mechanics.
That's all Folks now you might be getting more of the picture of why Ducks lover to Float and Ponder about blogging.
