Dash For Power

The lungs take much abuse and repair themselves as they can, while we breathe in modern industrial pollutants, either smoke, or have quit but find yourself still enjoying some one’s second hand smoke, which kills many a non smoking partner or restaurant or bar worker. We will now begin to searh through our extensive list of general health categories, and bring any related to lung care and health to this Category as part of having the most fatal weak points in our bodies that tend to take us down. Heart and related issues kill most people in the world according to the UN World Clock, followed by half as many deaths by cancers, and then respiratory, lung diseases. This tells us that we need to have the most specific needed sites available more easily, and as you keep checking back in you will see any further information related to what items to eat, what not, how to excercise (walk lots), borrow a dog for a walk if you can not have the joy and responsibility of owning a pet. Then borrow one, now and then. But your lungs, you owe it to them to keep them filled with fresh air, breath deep, exhale fully. Keep it up for years.

To walk in the filthy air on the streets of Beijing today seems like a walk into hell. Yet, to be in a shop of Chinese antiques is as to cause you to walk quietly, in serene admiration of such elegance, from so far away, and created so long before it was known in the west. From Roman times, it was known that Rome’s eastern city of Damascus was actually on the western edge of a silk route to the vast Orient, beyond mighty mountains. The Romans knew Sumer was to the east, and Persia, and beyond were the spices of the Indies.

But only on the far northern route up over the hump of Asia could one come down into the lush green lands of China, whose range was from tropical south to polar north. The Chinese city of Harbin near Siberia has amazing and massive ice carvings each winter that draws millions. China was a civilization like none other on earth, and one in which Rome only received, as had Egypt before, this mysterious raw silk, which for 7,000 years has been woven into Damask in Damascus, the oldest city on earth continually settled.

Quite nearby Damascus is 10,000 year old Jericho, on a higher plateau with winters. And as in China, to have a range that brought you in security foods from the tropics to northern oats was to have it all. My daughter studied China and we looked up many interesting matters on the net. I learned that the mighty Yangtze River which enters the sea near Shanghai, happens to divide north and south produce. As the river generally runs west to east into the China sea: wheat is grown north of the river, rice to the south.

Yet for protection, the capital city always needed to be up north, near the Great Wall, always on the alert for Mongols to the north. Shanghai, in the middle of China on the coast is the city of the future as the cranes keep building higher.And as more factories are built, the air grows more dirty each day. And as Charles Dickens saw London in it’s polluted industrial expansion worst, so we are seeing China go through this now. So, as societies evolve, this too may pass. And as the technology now exists, and is being tested, patented, agreement rights, price, availability all get us no where yet.

But still China creates one new dirty coal burning plants each week in their plunge into dark riches, and those CO2 filled clouds pass over and rain onto us on the west coast of America now. Dickens London did not manage that. We know that Pocahantas caught her death of plague when she visited London, and is buried in Cornwall as she died before the ship taking her home to die made it past Land’s End. This summer, some elite athletes will skip the Olympics in Beijing with that fear in mind.

But we should have faith that the once and again becoming glorious China will soon desire to again see the light, and the blue sky. China is achieving massive progress, but surely could lighten up a lot on a, but we think China is so proud it will soon decide to show us, buy one hundred million high power filters, and show us who can ensure blue skies. When we see that competitive spirit from China being applied in a more, shall we say, civilized way, we will applaud. Perhaps even visit China to marvel. But not this Olympics.

Oh, that filthy air. So while modern China bulldozes it’s exquisite past to fill in valleys with hydro water, any Chinese antiques you can find at a bargain on any net site will be going, going and gone. When they lose fascination with their new cell phones and gadgets, they will get richer, and one day wonder who bought up the family heirlooms while they worked in the smog factory selling junk to the west, that did not need, but it was so cheap, they did buy, until their 1950’s era house had to be upgraded for the junk.

If so, China will hold the mortgage on the loan to put more of their lead lined modern replicas into your home. Who has the diamonds for brains, who the coal? Check into several Chinese Antiques sites, while they are on their way to get so rich they will play you way too much to buy it back. Just when you need back surgery, plan now, golden cow. Ming and Buddha on your mantle are here for you, unless Senator Wong bids more. Encore. You score. But these Chinese Antiques are about as good a bargain now; you wait, you will see. And no back pain and more joy to you, and to me.

The Ming vase original plant may soon be under water, and the dirty factory built on that sacred soil soon fuming dark gaseous CO2 clouds pumping furiously out at us. but if there are any Chinese antiques still available, you might want to put one on the mantle, and watch it create a retirement legacy for you. Not likely coming out of the factory replacing it, over building cement plants into the air to you. You might feel it wise to check out pure blue Ming that created in England the high nosed phrase Bone China.

There are still many, but increasingly, fewer fine pieces. Now, more often, China is creating the factory that will send discount store Ming copies to you. So while you can, you could look in and see, if an original is still there to you and to me. Time, gentlemen, originals of Chinese antiques are leaving the warehouse shelves, and being replaced by replicas. Which you carry into your inheritance, you choose.

As a remarkable example of diamond souls affecting people beyond what we might imagine, is this true story of Winston Churchill, a bog, and Penicillin. The story seems to speak to the eight most common virtues that researchers in California recently found in people who they studied in search of happiness. The researchers found that those who share these eight virtues have been found to be those who tend to live the longest, report best health in their age and income groups.

These life winners report a more complete sense of a life well lived and that their good life assures them a good death and after life. Truly soft soul loose diamonds . These eight virtues are usually shared by people who are also active in their community, report a belief in a faith, and believe their good deeds and lives will have them welcomed into Heaven or Nirvana or a Happy Hunting Ground.

These virtues are to count your blessings, do acts of kindness, savor the joys of life, thank a mentor, learn to forgive, stay close to family and friends, take care of your body, and develop strategies to cope with stress and hardship. You can almost count them off in this story. This is a story of human Brilliant Diamond Souls . In this case the name of the good man was a poor Scottish farmer name Fleming.

One day while working in his field, he heard a scream for help coming from the bog next to his farm. Fleming dropped his tools and ran to the bog. Here he saw a frightened boy, already sunk to his waist in the swampy black bog. Fleming waded in and grabbed the lad and dragged him to the firm ground, helped him to clean off, and saw him on his way as his family was visiting nearby.

The very next day a grand carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s small hut. An expensively dressed gentleman stepped out. He shook hands and said he was the father of the lad that the farmer saved. He wanted to pay Fleming, who thanked him but refused. The reward was all in the good deed. And although their life was simple, it was good. At that moment the son of the farmer, about the same age as the young rich lad, appeared at the door.

The gentleman asked if that was the son of the farmer, who proudly confirmed that it was. And the gentleman proposed a deal that the farmer did agree to. And that was to take the lad and pay for the finest education that his own son would enjoy. The farmer agreed and young Fleming did become a famed physician. Fleming later moved to Canada, and there with the help of others discovered Penicillin, which has been a boon to humanity in curing diseases.

Previously incurable diseases were now being cured thanks to Penicillin. The name of the nobleman was Lord Randolph Churchill. His son’s name became Sir Winston Churchill, who became seriously ill with pneumonia later in life, and again a Fleming saved his life, this time by Penicillin. Two great families, two small and great deeds that display how a wave effect of good or ill can create other waves later elsewhere. And we applaud these fine examples of humanity at it’s best here. This amazing and true story tells of how a small good act can send out waves of goodwill that change some lives twice.

This healthy lifestyles list of the most healthy and enjoyable foods from us to you via the learnings of the ancients, and very new, wise surveyors of such. So, first you wish to scan, like the warrior in you and observe. This will take days, come and go, print a list off, get all these into your habits. I am still working on this, and you want to also.

Meanwhile, we can try and taste and see if some new healthy foods will mix and match with the healthy foods & supplements you already are familiar, to become the best that we all can be. You will see I structured a list, as was my advise at that time. I may undo it, but that is process, you are interest in substance. That is, what are these wonder foods that all equal spinach you say.

Our spiritual adviser Popeye still prefers his spinach, but some of us on heart medicine must take care at not too many darkest greens, so powerful, but so potent in Vitamin K that our blood could be as thick as some skulls. You may want to check with your doctor if you are on heart or other medications. I love, but must avoid kept and spinach due to my heart medications.

You will be left to your own devices to test to find new foods to eat. So, here we are then: you want to eat many fruits and berries. That means just that. Eat them frozen, or rather after you have unfrozen what you need, but always frozen is OK, OK? But fresh is always best. Unless they were picked unripe and have gone bad by the time their old truck has reached you.

Now we are into the royalty: Blueberries,Raspberries, Strawberries, Cranberries,Choke berries, Dark Plumbs.

This covers so many types of fruits and vegetables that you can consider as a complement to your meat or bean dishes., Those most healthy foods require further study. But here, one healthy surprise that is somewhat of a fruit is your daily treat of dark chocolate. Really. So heat up a bit, pour it over some fruit bits or whatever and however you choose. To your good health!

In our search for wisdom and healthy living, we have checked our lists so carefully, now we have the healthiest fruit and vegetables for the Queen’s navy. And us. Study, mix and match, see what blends best. Since we are considering only placing the finest of life enhancing foods inside us, and into our minds and souls, so we need to look at ways to simplify.

Can you imagine Buddha or Jesus in a line with a huge buggy of modern cheap junk from China? Or Henry David Thoreau? Or Gandhi? Did they not see this as mindless folly, the ways of empty lives to empty graves. We will list a few of our oldies are besties sites, where what you buy is so old it is now going back up in value, unlike the fake lead lined junk in those buggies all the way from China.

Are they making any more old Ming vases? No, but millions of fakes, you should get in line and get one. no you should not. Get ahead of the curve and get some Mings on your mantle, Mickey, and a few decades ago, you so aglow with health from mother earth, and now a knock upon your hearth. It is rich Susie Wing who wants her great grandma’s Mings who sit with your things along your mantle. Be inscrutable, Mickey, add 3 or 4 zeroes to your simple retirement heroes. But your only understand yes, not her other words for less.

Enjoy good health and great wealth.  Derek Dashwood

As I had written this for another site, it seemed even more appropriate here on my own, to you. As we watch the numbers tick on the World Clock, it seems that healthy lifestyles continue to be coming to an end and now we can see. We can count off each second to the tenth power how much the temperature of the earth is increasing. This information from the United Nations, which is gathering information from every weather station on earth mostly now all on line. So we know when the seas will begin to turn all us coastal folks into members of the I love Venice club, and open our gondola concessions.

But that doesn’t solve the problem of all those jets in the sky, that the numbers will double and double again. Soon each rich new Chinese will want to see Paris again. Dear gasping mother earth says take the train, not the plane. So here is our loose diamonds blue pie in the sky vision, we present this to you. If you agree, send a message or three, jets are fueled by kerosine, which is that trail up there that spittles on you and me. So each day you get home, and have been out for a stroll, if the day has been cloudy it may be a jet roll. so have a good shower when you get there, and light not a candle to your kerosine hair.

Your hair is sprinkled with stardust so kerosine pure, or dirty to be honest, and that is for sure. So here is a plan, that the Economist ran. Sprinkle the globe, with a high tech railroad, under the sea between Siberia to we, and work on your project serene, while the transport gets you from Rio to Rome, or Moscow or Nome, London to Cairo, Johannesburg, up to Istanbul, then zip on back home. Look at a map, and imagine who might object. And work with those factors, and we have a fast track, that we must exclaim Such diamond thinking! . Again and again. Laptop all the way to Spain.

Rare diamonds of minds in China have begun, at which France and Japan have excelled, to fast track trains. Although also building some freeways, which America and Britain have tried. If China chooses the Anglo American vision on this and builds freeways for one billion cars, while they extend their coal burning plants, we will all soon live in a hellish gray skied hot place, in which we all become sicker. China privately admits it is losing perhaps ten percent of it’s productivity on sickness and lost time, and this is climbing, as is the global clock temperature chart.

The route is here. Or do we want to be noble, blind, so full of our manifest destiny and sense of being chosen, or that our jihad is more holy than your crusade, or that your ancestry in north Ireland creates in me a need to kill, to revenge that bloody hand. My father did extensive genealogy of our family, nobles, buffoons, and arrogant fools. I had an Irish American mother, but my English Canadian father once told me we were entitled to have in our English coat of arms the bloody hand of English in north Ireland.

I had to ask. It seems that when King James offered that northern quarter of Ireland to which ever English could put their hand on the soil first. And, speaking of fanatics, apparently we have in our blood that one ancestor of mine saw another boat was beating to the beach, he chopped off one hand and threw with great force, and it did land on the beach, which now made it his, and he was in charge. King’s Han Chinese hall monitors rules. To you, King James, from both my Irish heart and even my English soul, you should not have made such an intrusive, arrogant law.

And if we need to take a boat to Dublin, or even a non jet clean aircraft from Dublin to London, some how some more English and Moors and Christians and Jews and and blacks in south Africa could at least visit by train. Which would be a healthy change, and mighty refrain. Blue skies, nothing but blue skies, all day long. Is not possible. New coal plants to build. New jets to fly and spray us, coal in our lungs, kerosine in our hair. Do you have sum ting against progress, you did all this, we can too. Oh, where is that train, convert dear Boeing and we can soon tram to Spain. And that is my refrain, I will say again and again.

The lessons of history are clear. When your buggy whips are not good any more, remember you are in the transportation industry. Less planes, more trains, same companies.

Happiness can be as elusive a state to be in, as depression can be to get out off. We know it when we see it in others: a laughing couple, a tender holding of hands between an elderly couple, a child on a swing in the park,Within our own lives, it can be obvious as well: a meeting with a long unseen loved one, almost any time with a grand child, a sense of achievement at completing a task, the praise of one we respect, the smile of a loved one.

A recent article had us discuss the satellite maps that display how the swirling wind currents take soot from India and deposit it over Arctic ice, and this good news towards that problem deals with that. A British television documentary has just had us follow a Chinese farmer who has created his simple yet effective means of getting away from gathering wood to cook the evening fire, causing all that soot in their house and all the way over the seas.

Bio Gas. Poop. The proud farmer showed what he is doing to help global warming. Their own toilet and the cattle poop are sent through several plastic tubes to a cement tub sunk in the ground. We see the bubbling stew of human and animal waste, and coming out of the center is another tube, which we follow, tacked up under the rafters of their tiny, tidy home, to the gas stove.

The wife turns the gas on, as she is about to prepare dinner, and she talks through a translator how much cleaner their home is now, compared to when they burned wood or coal to cook the meals: the children were always coughing and sick and she never felt well. Now, she looked healthy: they feel rich now. Since her husband read of this from information from the government, he had managed to build one of the first in the village: others now copy their example, and those who do not are still the sickly ones with soot filled houses, and are the poorest as they spend little time improving their fields in their search for firewood to cook their next meal: they have no time, no time, all work.

The documentary tells us and shows examples that the government of China is encouraging and helping build one hundred million such bio gas containers in the next few years. What this is doing to improve the atmosphere is also doing that which has always helped pull people out of poverty and closer to civilized comfort. They now have time to work the fields, make improvements to their equipment, that before had been wasted searching for firewood to cook by.

This seems like one of the least expensive programs the world should help make happen. In desert Africa, they also scramble for sticks of wood to cook their meal, with the cattle nearby. This seems something so inexpensive that all should not somehow help create a billion such gas creating climate cleansing containers, then a billion more.

The earth is warming, and any denial of that fact requires mind numbing stupidity or refusal to watch the numbers on the United Nations temperature reading, as the numbers click on up. We all need to encourage wise care of our good mother earth. This seems one good way.

Dogs make us walk; cats and birds we love, but make us sick.

• Dogs have become our closest animal companion for a reason: we found early they were good for us. Helping us forage, learning to bring a bird without eating it from our spear or thrown rock; needing our company, needing walks.

• The desert bred cat of Egypt, in contrast kept his duties inside the palace, or the hovel, eliminating the rodents from the wheat piles at harvest time. More aloof, it chose it’s companions, as long as the food supplier supplied treats with the self serve rodent diet. And into the European plague thousands of years later, cats attacked the rats. But cats are prone to many cancers, and pass some of these potential germs; their feces should never be touched when being removed.

• Birds such as hawks have been hunting creatures for kings and pharoahs, also trained, and forced with a ring around their throat to prevent swallowing.And a very sturdy leather covered arm to land on.

• Otherwise, canaries who can sing down the coal mine were life savers for the men. When the canary stops singing, poison fumes, everone out of the mine.

• Nowadays, the dog, the cat are at our feet by the fire and the bird is nearby in his cage, coughing his own birdie flu coal dust our way.

• Since I and you have enjoyed all this in our childhood and would love to have our children know such fun too- my youngest daughter used to create a bird maze of pillows and toys for her three budgies to walk to; we will still find ourselves, as self appointed tellers of health truths, the truth is:

• DOGS are healthiest pets. If you can only have one pet, this is it. This morning I have paused to sip my coffee at my balcony several times. It is early. So far, the first four humans I have watched jog by have been attached by leash to a dog. Not a cat. Not a bird. Those owners are home, their cats licking them with a tongue laced with blood with cancers, leaving steaming feces or their powerful urine in plant pots, wherever. And above, Tweetie is scatching his mites, sending measurable dusts of them, an infected feather, again, use gloves when cleaning this Avin Flu potential site.

• Walk your dawg. His poops are your responsibility, againn plastic glove or plastic bag inverted around your working hand, make it work and leave the park clean.

• Train your pooch to be nice, not a biter. Choose the least nervous among one of the most people friendly groups: from spaniels to golden retreivers or labradors, people know you, and you pooch, are just out to sniff the flowers and a nice long walk.

• However, studies show that if are seen walking a fighting trained dog that might attack a child, you are a hate filled person who needs help, and enough people such a person passes knows, or should know that. This Rottweiler, or Pit Bull, may appear harmless, but it’s genes, especially if there are two of them, can make this animal snap and revert to it’s killer inside. They were bred for a reason: to kill.

• Your typical SPCA pooch just wants someone to love, and go for walkies with.

• Check our sources for healthy dog food, organic and natural. Such as petPlanet2U, apdempsey, to name two American pet food suppliers who maintained their vital 100% customer satisfaction ratings with Amazon customer reviews. And this, in a year of lead and melamine in our dog’s food, is a merit of excellence indeed. Take a look.

As first Americans to walk to the Pacific, Jed and Merri find their trips vary.

• There were extensive plans and funds for the now famed Lewis and Clark expedition from America to the Pacific Ocean by fore sighted President Thomas Jefferson’s purchase of the Louisiana Territory - but at the same time- it is 1804-

• Jedediah Smith, an American trader and explorer, has found a southern route around the Rockies, and arrives in Spanish Los Angeles. Spanish officials whisper in groups…if one American, how many will follow? Well, we know, thirty five million so far, and counting. I would love to think Jed Smith, this 1804 rough coonskin trapper in a civilized Spanish city beyond Mission status, stayed on, built a house up in the hills, the Beverleys, that is. I wonder if to the Spanish Dons he was the first Clampet? Do you think? He didn’t have any oil wealth. In 1804 you burned coal oil, died coughing in your cabin. If so, we should arrange Jed Smith, not Clampet, gets a heavenly tennis court and pool to exercise and plot some way home.

• Although, Jedediah Smith seems a mighty happy camper up there in the hills of Beverley, lapping in his pool, jogging with the senoritas, for Pete’ sake, with all those senoritas by his pool, him pretending all his writing is really serious parts in next year’s big 1805 fiesta with the pieta. Well, as long as they sing and dance, let’s us grin go ourselves silly with sports and outdoors here in the sun, and dance away. And get out of the sun.

• Meanwhile, a thousand miles north, Merriweather Lewis, drenched to the skin, watches in fury while pounding Pacific waves shake him, as he shakes the drunken Frenchman who has again beaten Sacagawea, their native guide, wife of the abusive Frenchman, the only woman he knows, admires, adores, loves.

• Lewis, dispirited, says let’s go home. Treated like royalty by President Jefferson, given land grants in his native Tennessee, Lewis huddles in his cabin, hears no more music, plays no more games, shoots and kills himself alone in his cabin within years. Sacagawea mourns him all her life.

• The moral? Hm. We need sunshine. We need to be out and about with our friends. We need love. You should have arrested that bastard for treason and had him shot and buried at sea; married Sacagawea, all lived happily ever after. But you did not. And now it’s too late. Except, if that jerk is in hell, who in Heaven gets to choose who dines with whom? I bet God says you decide. Some tables are crowded, some sparse. We will leave you two alone, honeymooners: Merriweather and Sacagawea till the sun stops shining. You can walk in your snowshoes up over those passes forever. And we will yet join you, but not just yet. So, we suggest if you also share our enthusiasm for a happy healthy life, you might find it of interest to click on our Pages Home Gym Essentials, and our Healthy Supplements, for those greens, flax oil, omegas you know your skin needs. Your entire body will thank you.
