Not original, collected from the internet, thanx jane.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost
immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional
"pain relievers."
Did you know that Colgate Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?
Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with
mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoid
Peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of Horseradish in a
cup of Olive Oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a
massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.
Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1
tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.
Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two tablets
in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer
begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly -- even though
the product was never advertised for this use.
Eliminate puffiness under your eyes..... All you need is a dab of
Preparation H, carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the eyes. The
hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling
instantly.
Honey remedy for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and
place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile,
and speeds healing. Works overnight.
Listerine therapy for toenail fungus... Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus
by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves
your toenails looking healthy again.
Easy eyeglass protection.. To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from
loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear Nail Polish to the
threads of the screws before tightening them.
Coca-Cola cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust removers. Just
saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The
phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.
Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees, wasps,
hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the
insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground
instantly.
Smart splinter remover... just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue all over the
splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks
to the dried glue.
Hunt's Tomato Paste boil cure... cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as
a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothes the pain and brings the boil
to a head.
Balm for broken blisters.. To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops
of Listerine.. a powerful antiseptic.
Heinz Vinegar to heal bruises.. Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and
apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and
speeds up the healing process.
Kills fleas instantly. Dawn Dish Washing Liquid does the trick. Add a few
drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly Rinse well to
avoid skin irritations. Good-bye fleas.
Rainy day cure for dog odor... Next time your dog comes in from the rain,
simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making
your dog smell springtime fresh.
Eliminate ear mites... All it takes is a few drops of Wesson Corn Oil in
your cat's ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily
for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and
accelerates healing.
Vaseline cure for hair balls..... To prevent troublesome hair balls, apply a
dollop of Vaseline petroleum jelly to your cat's nose. The cat will lick off
the jelly, lubricating any hair in its stomach so it can pass easily through
the digestive system.
Quaker Oats for fast pain relief.... It's not for breakfast anymore! Mix 2
cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave
for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for
soothing relief from arthritis pain.
because sometimes solutions are easier than we think...

Local scenes,
I am a big fan of regionalism, and as such of local scenes. Regionalism, as I define it, is the opposite of globalization, social globalization especially. Regional scenes allow small cultural trends to grow and develop independently of the larger world. In an era of ever present media and cultural wide shifts in trends and culture, small regional cultural practices can be a pleasant relief.
I have had the opportunity this year to explore a number of smaller cultural scenes, explore their rituals and meet many interesting people through them. It is encouraging to meet other like minded people and to know that human nature and its diversity can thrive in a sea of media sameness.

DRUMS DRUMS DURMS!!
Life is so great, I have been manifesting and working towards a way that will support me in my goal of modern nomadicism, something less structured than a job to job lifestyle. Something that would allow me to get right into the communities that I want to reach and touch, right to the people who have the stories I am looking for. A number of things have entered my psyche, a few things I know well and a few with huge learning curves, but nothing which completly fit my personality.
This week while doing some tracking of parts for this bus project i'm working on, I stumbled upon the most amazing thing, a whole room in a wharehouse chock full of drums, high quality africanhandrums to boot. The owner of these drums, a really nice guy, was unable to move them by himself, not being a drummer, and lacking any real contacts in the drumming community - which is where I come in, being completley tied into that community, and actively searching out other communities of the same.
So that being said - anyone looking for a really stellar drum? High quality Djembes, from Ghana, Nice carvings on all, with different styles, prices depend on size, but I am selling for 350-400 dollars, which is below retail everywhere I have looked. Interested? email me at coyotesight@hotmail.com
cheers and blessings,
beleive in your dreams,
Steve the Drum Guy!

when i'm on, i'm on but when i'm off....
Well that seems to be the best way to describe me, On, or Off. It goes beyond mood swings or attitude, I imagine somebody with letters behind their name might try to class this as some form of bipolar or manic depressiveness - But I just call it ON/OFF.
I was ON a couple weeks ago, and man was I a sight to behold, I was simply amazing, manifesting shit all over the place, making friends wherever I went. I was tripping around the city (Vancouver) meeting all kinds of people, from all walks of life. Creating money, community, literally making friends and influencing people. In one memorable day, I had lunch with one of Canada's top chemists, hung out with some wickedly creative freeqs in the park, did some dancing, made some music, and ended the night doing an informal interview and sharing a bottle with some homeless dudes. When I'm ON the whole world is my playground, and everyone is my friend.
But when I'm OFF, goddamn, just leave me the Fuck alone, I don't want to talk to anybody, do anything, I just want' to curl up and sleep, or get drunk and miserable, or violently angry. This is beyond introspection, beyond personal space, this is downright Anti Social. With Capital letters!!
Luckly these OFF sessions dont' last very long anymore, I have experiance with depression, and have the ablility to end it - when I feel like it, I know it's dangerous to let myself get wrapped up in my bad moods, 'cause they CAN take over my life.
Yesterday was an OFF day, couldn't get anything done for the life of me (though I actually did get some shit done) and was tired and miserable all day.
I don't know if i can make today an ON day, but I'm on my way back up.
cheers

Bill C 51, come on people let's do this one more time.
We are the ones who matter in the world, we the people! Not we the Corperations, not we the Burecrates, not we the Government, not even we the Law, It is WE THE PEOPLE! Nobody hs the right to take our rights from us! Nobody! We as persons, as individuals as HUMANS in this world Have the right to choose our own futures and in this case our medicine! And here are a group of government folks who think they know better than 70 percent of the population! If some evil one were threatning your child would you not get angry?! Angry with Love?! So angry with love that you would go to no ends to protect them... Well that day is here! This is not a law soley directed at us, but one directed at our children, our parents, our grandparents, aunties, uncles, grandchildren!! This is a law against YOUR FAMILY!!! Yes your family, your mum, your dad, your brother and childen!!! This is a restriction of rights! Which as so many immigrants can tell you that is the most important thing!! THIS Revoulution will be fought and won with Love but we have to focus this love with such intensity that we burn the illness out of our society! Because in fact that evil one is here, it is everywhere, but nowhere is it stronger than when our rights are being stepped on. Remeber Womens rights and the fought they still fight! Remember the Struggle for equality so many people of all races and cultures have fought and are still fighing daily! Rights are something worth fighting for, worth loving for!! There is nobody else to take care of this, there are no govenment programs to protect us from themselves, nobody else can or will.
For our children, for our grandparents, for ourselves, for our future...

Canadian Rights And Freedoms Are At Risk
An Important Notice Regarding Bill C-51
On April 8th, 2008, the Canadian Minister of Health introduced Bill C-51 into the House of Commons. This Bill proposes significant changes to the current Food and Drugs Act that will have wide-ranging negative implications for Canadians.
Bill C-51 will:
· Remove democratic oversight, bypassing elected officials to vote in laws and allow bureaucrats to adopt laws from other countries without our consent.
· Remove 70% of Natural Health Products from Canadians and many others will be available by prescription only.
· Restrict research and development of safe natural alternatives in favor of high risk drugs.
· Punish Canadians with little or no opportunity for protection or recourse for simply speaking about or giving a natural product without the approval of government. More than 70% of people in Canada use a Natural Health Product. The new law goes so far as to warrant action against a person who would give another person an 'unapproved' amount of garlic on the recommendation that it would improve that person's health.

Can you trust government with this new law and enforcement power?
Would our government really ever turn this law against us? Read the following account.
Example
In 2003 Health Canada launched an attack on a group of mentally ill patients and the company who supported them naturally. They seized shipments of a safe natural therapy required by the patients and stormed the support center with 17 armed officers and agents. The company (Truehope) reported that they lost contact with more than 300 of their Canadian participants. The Canadian Mental Health Association told of suicides as a result of government action.
Health Canada then charged the not for profit company, burdening them with heavy legal costs. Truehope was found innocent by necessity and instructed by the judge to continue under legal and moral responsibility. Although the agents admitted knowing they were injuring people through their actions, they stated under oath they care only about policy and directive. And what happened to the more than 300 mentally ill Canadians that became unreachable? In the months and years following, reports of hospitalizations and suicides during the seizures have surfaced. No Health Canada agent has ever been charged.

More than 70% of people in Canada use a Natural Health Product. The new law goes so far as to warrant action against a person who would give another person an 'unapproved' amount of garlic on the recommendation that it would improve that person's health.
I am completely opposed to the 'police state powers' which are proposed by Bill C-51 and consider this bill a breach of my rights of freedom. As my representative in parliament I respectfully request that you protect my rights of access to natural health products by voting against Bill C-51.
Thank you.
