The Wiccan Rede


THE WICCAN REDE
Bide the Wiccan Laws we must In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust. Live and let live. Fairly take and fairly give. Cast the Circle thrice about To keep the evil spirits out. To bind the spell every time Let the spell be spake in rhyme. Soft of eye and light of touch, Speak little, listen much. Deosil go by the waxing moon, Chanting out the Witches' Rune. Widdershins go by the waning moon, Chanting out the baneful rune. When the Lady's moon is new, Kiss the hand to her, times two. When the moon rides at her peak, Then your heart's desire seek, Heed the North wind's mighty gale, Lock the door and drop the sail. When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on the mouth. When the wind blows from the West, Departed souls will have no rest. When the wind blows from the East, Expect the new and set the feast. Nine woods in the cauldron go, Burn them fast and burn them slow. Elder be the Lady's tree, Burn it not or cursed you'll be. When the Wheel begins to turn, Let the Beltane fires burn. When the Wheel has turned to Yule, Light the log and the Horned One rules. Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree, By the Lady, blessed be. Where the rippling waters go, Cast a stone and truth you'll know. When ye have a true need, Hearken not to others' greed. With a fool no season spend, Lest ye be counted as his friend. Merry meet and merry part, Bright the cheeks and warm the heart. Mind the Threefold Law you should, Three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow, Wear the blue star on thy brow. True in Love ever be, Lest thy lover's false to thee. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An ye harm none, do what ye will.
- Blessed Be -

Tour of "WiTHiN"

Greg provides a tour of WiTHiN human powered boat which he will pedal from Canada to Hawaii. Follow his progress at Pedaltheocean. 

Hello! As I have been promising for a while, here is a video tour of WITHiN. I shot this with my new Gopro HD camera. What an awesome camera! It comes with a variety of very handy mounting options. I placed mounting brackets all around WiTHiN and in the cockpit and cabin so I can just clip the mini camera into a bracket, push a button and start shooting video. One 32 gig SD cards holds up to 9 hours of HD video. It's water proof, shock proof and shoots through a very wide angle lens which makes shooting video and photos inside WiTHiN much more descriptive.. Google "gopro" if you are interested.  

Congrat's Greg - I wish you well on your April 1st trip... and that is no joke.

C O L O R IS GOOD!

I am sure you all know Maxine... Well anyway this was sending in my email when I cam back from the doctors office and hospital stay. Thanks Wendy



Yesterday I went to the doctor
for my yearly physical.
My blood pressure was high .... 
My cholesterol was high ....... 
I'd gained some weight, and I didn't feel so hot. My doctor said eating right doesn't have to be complicated and it would solve my physical problems.
He said: Just think in colors. Fill your plate with bright colors. Try some greensoranges,  redsmaybe something blue,etc.
So I went right home and ate an entire bowl of  
 

And sure enough, I felt better immediately. I never knew eating right could be so easy !!!

Watch on-line, help Kristie make healthy choices and get the skinny on what is next.

 Kirstie Alley has emerged as one of the great actresses of her generation, proving time and again that she is capable of great depth and range, with a comedic timing second to none.

Kristie is so beautiful no matter what the ups and down have been.

New Life Style!


I have been away a couple days, my feet had swollen up so bad I had no choice but to go to the doctor. No income no insurance, The doctor put me in the hospital within 30 minutes of seeing him even given my status.

Bottom line I have to change my life style completely if I want to live... Must find a way to get my medicines I must lose weight, that I gained since Sharon broken my heart, literally!; I have to count every calorie I consume. If I do all this I may live to see may doctor another year. I had re-started my walking, 5 to 10 miles a day but my feet just got so bad. I am getting back in shape so I can get back on my recumbent trike; an Expedition model of the Catrike line. If you have been following me you know I named her "Onyx". I lost a year in depression and sorrow and almost my life. Is not love just grand!

So I plea with you to help if you have a program that will allow me to key in what I have to eat, and report back how much I may eat and drink. In the light of this I have been looking at on-line articles for help. like this. To the left you see a calorie counter known as the CalorieSmart Mini. Enjoy the article, and drop me a line, on how you got back on track. Or how did you suppress your hunger? Join me as I follow Kristie Ally in her new series "Big Life", as I have mentioned in a post on my blog. Love and Shalom to you all.
If you want to carve out a set of killer abs one of the first things you will have to do is control what you eat. For most people this is easier said then done. An appetite is a fickle creature, causing us to hunger and crave food and drinks that aren’t good for us. Our appetite is influenced by two things. The first is what is going on around us. You know, like when someone brings a box of doughnuts to the office. They are really hard to resist. The second factor is our own body’s bio-chemical signals that tell us when we are hungry and it’s time to eat.

There are ten things you can do to help control these cravings which will help you to lose excess body fat.

1. Drink when you’re hungry – Drinking lots of water is not only good for you it will also help to rein in your appetite. Water takes up space in your stomach making it feel full. You should drinking 64 ounces of water a day.

2. Graze instead of binge – Eat smaller meals more often during the day. Eating 5 to 6 smaller meals during the day keeps your appetite down and can help prevent eating more than you need, which is often the case if you are eating 1 to 3 large meals a day. Grazing over the course of a day also keeps insulin and blood sugar levels more consistent which help prevent the body from storing excess sugars as fat.

3. Complex carbohydrates – Eating foods like potatoes, rice, corn and pasta that are high in complex carbohydrates can help satisfy an appetite with fewer calories. One reason that complex carbohydrates help lessen an appetite is that they appear to turn off the keep eating signal sooner than a diet made up of high fat foods. Another way that complex carbohydrates appear to help curb an appetite is the brain chemical serotonin. Carbohydrates appear to increase serotonin levels in the brain which reduces appetite.

4. Fiber fills you up – Foods high in fiber not only have less calories per serving they also fill you up faster because they take up a lot of room in the stomach. They also require you to chew longer which makes you eat slower which allows the body’s hunger signals to be dampened before you eat too much.

5. Soup is good food – Soup has been shown to reduce cravings and helps control the desire to eat more. Soup is able to accomplish this because it takes up a large amount of space in the stomach. It is also high in complex carbohydrates which satisfy the brains hunger signals better than fatty foods.

6. Eat spicy foods – If you love spicy hot food then partake of it more often. Spicy foods satiate your appetite much better than more boring foods. Spicy foods also make you sweat, a sure sign of an increased metabolism. A higher metabolic rate means you are burning more calories which in turn burns more of your fat stores.

7. Exercise your appetite away – If you are feeling your sweet tooth and are unable to sooth your cravings with water or a high fiber snack try doing some moderate exercise like taking a walk or riding an exercise bike. Exercise helps reduce your appetite by controlling blood sugar and the body’s insulin response. And how many times have you been able to eat a big meal after exercising.

8. Buffet is bad – The key here is to eat simply. Do not prepare large multi-course meals because the tendency is to eat more because there is so much to choose from and you will want to try it all. If you limit your entrees and side dishes to just one selection at each meal you will eat much less and limit your caloric intake.

9. Why do you eat? – Many times we eat because of emotional issues. Comfort foods, which make us feel better, are usually not good for us because of their sugar or fat content. If you are eating because of reasons other than hunger you need to develop other strategies to feel better. Before you start eating as yourself why you are eating. Is it because you are hungry or is it for some other reasons.

10. Get rid of temptations – If you are like most people you give into temptation way to easily. If there are sweets or other fattening foods around you will eat them. Just the sight, smell or sound of food is enough to set most people off on an eating binge. Remove those tempting food from the house. You can’t eat what isn’t there and chances are you won’t miss them.

Big Life with Kristie Alley

Kirstie Alley's "Big Life" is to debut on A&E Sunday March 21, 2010. That's Tonight as I post this blog. Will I watch? You Bet! Kristie was my Girl way back when I discovered her on Cheers! replacing Shelly Long for seasons 6 through 11. Ah those were the days... "Where Everybody Knows Your Name".
According to In Entertainment: "The first two episodes, which air back to back tonight, will follow Kirstie as she tries to train herself with a workout regime. However, self-training proves to be difficult, so Alley and her staff then look to hire a personal trainer to help."

Below is part of the review by Kelly West of Kristie Alley's "Big Life", Which is nice to see a nice size review rather that those one or two lines that you so often see... and they call those "articles" it it more likely to be called "teasers". Nothing to see certainly no meat and potatoes, Thanks Kelly.

While the Showtime series "Fat Actress", which starred Kirstie Alley, was loosely based on her life, Kirstie Alley’s Big Life is based on her actual life.

The new A&E reality series takes us into her home and her world as we get to see her as a mother, an actress and a woman hoping to get into shape.

Kirstie Alley’s "Big Life" begins with Alley introducing herself, her family and the people who work for her. We also dive right into the crux of the matter and what is definitely going to be a major theme in this new series. Kirstie Alley is overweight, and not just by Hollywood standards. Her weight issue hasn’t gone unnoticed by the media, which means she’s often hounded by the paparazzi not only when she’s out with her kids but also at her home. Photographers looking to get the next “Look how big she’s gotten” photo eagerly await an appearance by her. We not only see that, but we also witness the moment where Alley and her family discover a photo taken of her in her yard, on the cover of a tabloid magazine. It’s not easy being overweight in this country, but imagine having a sea of photographers camped outside your house waiting to take a picture of you and have it published.


The first two episodes follow Alley as she attempts to train herself with a workout regimen, alongside her “chubby buddy” Jim (a guy who works for her and also has a weight issue). Self-training proves difficult and in episode two, she and her staff (assistants Kelly and Kyle) look to hire a personal trainer. Minor drama ensues when new assistant Kyle is caught sleeping on the job. The rest of the episode features the trainer interviews and the start of Alley’s new exercise regimen.

For me, the mark of a good celebrity series comes....(See Kelly West's article for more...)

Kristie Alley you will always have a loyal follower right here.
