Hello everyone. Been a little busy of late, but just thought I would squeeze this post in for today. Today I'll be talking about another thing that bugs me about medical school.
Today's main topic: superiority complex.
Honestly, I don't get people in medical school. They do so many things that annoy me. I have never seen another university degree in the world that so instantly requires a change to every Instagram about section (the short blurb about yourself) to either 'Medic' or 'Medical Student' immediately upon acceptance. It almost annoys me every time I see someone's profile.
I almost feel like people feel its something to be proud of, or something. But at the end of the day, I honestly think it means nothing until you graduate. Until you've actually completed the darn journey. Its almost to the point of humble brag. Oh wow, I did well enough to get into medical school (and here I am doing humble brag, but hey, I have to talk about this). Big whoop dude. Everyone else did well enough to get into their course.
I feel there are many other examples of this. Let's say a medical student is talking to a friend not in medical school. The normal conversation will almost be similar to "Oh my god, so much work, I have barely anytime to sleep. Exam coming up." almost to the point of not considering that other people have to study for their exams too. That other people have their classes, that other people have to work just as hard for their respective exams. I can't really think of a better example off the top of my head, but I think you guys can kind of get the idea.
Another example of this would be "Oh my god, I had like 7 lectures today, I have no time to catch up with my work, how many lectures did you have? I'm so jealous". Can't stand such people sometimes.
Not too much in the post today, but hope you enjoyed the read!

Whistler RCMP wants more money from the province to help pay for backcountry search and rescue operations.
The need for extra provincial funds was highlighted again last week after three snowboarders were plucked from an out of bounds area on the backside of Whistler Mountain.
Staff Sergeant Norm McPhail is asking the province for a $25,000 fund over and above his regular police budget. He hopes to have it in place by April.
This year alone, he said, Whistler police have spent $10,000 searching for lost skiers and boarders in the backcountry.
"There's an extraordinary pressure that has been there for years that relates to search and rescue operations," said McPhail.
"My solution is (to see if) I can secure a $25,000 fund (from the province) that takes that pressure off because I must balance my budget."
He explained that while the Provincial Emergency Program picks up the tab for the rescue portion of each incident, Whistler police are left to foot the bill for the search. There is no mechanism in place to collect that money from the people who have been rescued.
This latest rescue, which took place overnight Thursday, Feb. 10, cost approximately $5,000. The Whistler RCMP portion is about $1,800.
It all started when three boarders decided to dip down the back of Whistler Mountain to traverse to other runs.
Shannon Lysyk, 19, and 22-year-old Jake Croden were heading to Peak to Creek together. Christine Dewulf, 24, wanted to get to Harmony.
But all went too far down and before they knew it they were stuck and lost. Dewulf found Croden and Lysyk and the three Whistler residents decided to stick together to find a way out.
They hiked around for about four-and-a-half hours. They couldnt call for help as there was no cell phone reception.
As darkness fell Lysyk felt a twinge of panic set in. It was 10 Celsius, she and her two snow boarding companions were soaking wet and had only one bottle of water between them.
Finally they got phone reception and they were able to call for help. But it was too dangerous to rescue them that night so the trio were told to find a place to hunker down and a helicopter would come for them in the morning.
"I was scared," Lysyk recalled this week.
"I was so scared. It was so cold and I didnt know how much colder it was going to get. I just knew it was going to get worse."
Said Dewulf: "We were constantly shaking and our teeth were chattering.
"Our toes got so cold we would remind each other every 15 minutes all night to move them."
Croden, who came from Australia to work here for the season, doesnt remember much about the night.
"Apparently I was in a pretty bad way through the night so I dont really remember much about it," he said.
"I think I was really cold and shutting down. The girls told me I was pretty bad."
At first light the trio called search and rescue again and were told helicopters would be there as soon as possible.
"It was the best sound I have ever heard," said Lysyk of the helicopters circling above them mid morning Friday.
The boarders had to be hoisted into the helicopters using a long line as it was impossible to land the helicopter.
Luckily all three were fine.
Out of bounds areas are clearly marked by Whistler Blackcomb so it is worrying, said spokeswoman Christina Moore, that people continue to duck under the rope without proper gear, such as food, water, dry clothes and even avalanche rescue equipment.
Lysyk and Croden said thats likely to be their last out of bounds experience unless they are prepared or can see the in-bound runs from where they are.
Lysyk offered this warning to others hoping to enjoy the powder beyond the ropes: "Dont do what we did. Stay on the trails, stay where you can see people.
"And if you are going out of bounds youve got to know where you are going and be prepared."
Dewulf said the next time she heads to the hills she will carry a pack with extra gloves, hat, food, and some water.
"Im going to make a point of that every time," she said.

I found her about this time last year and fell in love with her products. I ordered several things and have been super happy with the quality and design of them!
Check her website out and get some personalized stationery for yourself!
With the holidays approaching, we're all usually looking for a way to make things extra-special, whether it's our tables, gift wrapping or front doors. There's loads of inspiration out there on sites like Pinterest, Houzz, Country Living and countless others, but adding your own special stamp on a design is always the crowning touch. That's what I love about custom monograms. They are unique to your tastes and preferences. I enjoy creating unique designs for occasions such as weddings and parties, but it's also fun to have your design on tags or stationery.
Here are a few monogram designs that I've done for different people, and you can view more in my monogram gallery: Monograms
The one with the pennant was put on cupcake toppers for a birthday party, which I thought was a perfect way to celebrate a special day for a 1-year-old boy.
You can also use tags to make gifts special. Here are a few examples:
On my site I also have some free printable items, such as tags and place cards. While they don't feature a monogram, they do offer you the chance to showcase your style: Free Printables
I'd love to know what items you are hoping to use this holiday season to put your special stamp on your decor and gift giving. Please contact me with any tips or suggestions! Contact Me
Thanks Jennifer for making this Friday a little brighter!
Check out tomorrow for the last guest blogger and be prepared to get lit. :)

Just to let you know that maybe have been some confusion and little education about the threat of an avian influenza outbreak. Not to worry according to medical resources it's not as bad as the media let's it out to be. And I think President Bush's announcement a while back said he would declare marshall law in the U.S. if such would happen. That's just alot of bunk to try and get us all uppity.
Be sure to bulk up on your Vitamin C, better yet Ester-C. Besides haven't we been there done, done that already. Sometimes it's always good to get out the mask. And always wash those hands after every visit ;).
Stay well!

One rainy night on a date at a Thai restaurant about three years ago, my date asked me, "What do you want to do with your life?" After thinking for a bit, I replied, "That is a very good question since I have everything I want in my life right now. I suppose what I want is to become a better teacher." He responded that sometimes he felt like a fake at his job and all he really wanted was to become a better person. I think that he had low self esteem to think of himself as "not good enough" but I also think he was on to something. Here we both were, I, in my late 20s and he in his early 30s with nothing in our lives but our careers. There's a sort of emptiness in knowing I've devoted my entire life to a job.
So I'm going to stop teaching for at least two years while I pursue other parts of life simply because I have discovered I am not very good at multitasking and often become easily overwhelmed when I am doing too much at the same time, which is often.
Yesterday, I had a really good time attending a sustainability seminar at a intentional community co-op. I learned about gray water systems,
electric cars, drip irrigation, gardening, composting, and furoshiki:
We did yoga, meditation, ate a delicious meal and also split into teams and went on a fun neighborhood scavenger hunt. The hunt for clues took us through attics, cellars, up trees, and just about everywhere!
I also met a Caucasian African-American. Haha!
Anyhow, I've decided, I'd like to join this community in their solar-powered Craftsman Bungalows.
There's even an old piano in one of the houses! I intend to play it!
I've decided that I am going to find an evening job and use my days to help out in the community, study and play piano. It's a vacation of sorts, but it's not, because I am making time and energy to invest in my career as well as in my personal physical and and mental well-being. Like me, the intentional community eats organically and enjoys home-cooked meals. They have home-cooked meals at least five nights per week. Several members talked amongst themselves about a recent backpacking trip. Anyone who enjoys being outdoors, has a hammock in the backyard, and shares in household duties seems pretty to likable to me! 🙂
I won't be able to move until summer, but here's to finding balance! …If there is such a thing! (Another one of my dates told me it was eerie because I seemed too balanced. Haha!).
I know I will miss the wildflowers blooming in the desert horizons where joshua trees walk and fall, but I also know that I want to explore life outside of my career, meet new people and have new experiences, so after a year of being back in my hometown, I have found that little has changed here other than friends moving away…And as much as I love my home, I yearn for new experiences. I cannot afford to travel right now due to tuition expenses and student loans, but I can live in a new (affordable) place where sustainable living is practiced and put aside money for travels. The place is close enough that I may even visit home often, but I do not know that I will because I know that it seems everyone I know is always away working. I am going to go back to my career because I hope to save up enough to take care of my parents one day when they become too old to work. There are a ton of hiking trails near my future home I will be exploring, which will satiate my thirst for adventure for a bit. Here's to new friends, new doors opening, and at least two years of spending the day time at home instead of at work!

Economic Fallacy of the Day: Others' Money
Unions are well-known for their boorish ignorance of economics. It's especially dramatic in the Canadian province of Quebec, where they still have a tremendous political influence.
This ignorance has been showing off with the election of the Liberal government earlier this year. The party, *finally* aware that others' money is running out, has launched a vast campaign to ask voters' opinion on how to reform public spending and where cuts should be made. Of course, unions are not satisfied; indeed, cuts in public spending means they will lose members. And so, one unionist asks the question: Why not look for new sources of revenues instead of cutting spending?
There are several problems with that question, Madame Chabot. Most important of all: You have no right whatsoever to that money. If you do have a right to that money, why cowardly use a middleman (the state) to get it? Because it would be theft otherwise, right? In other words, you expose yourself as a modern slave owner. Indeed, if taking 100 percent of one's production is slavery, at what percentage does it stop being slavery?
Second, the province of Quebec is the fiscal hell of North America for a reason: It taxes the heart and soul of its citizens. It has the highest income tax bracket (25.75%) of any jurisdiction north of Mexico – it's much higher than California or Oregon. It has the second highest sales tax of the sub-continent. It has the second highest rate of mining income tax when combining federal and local taxes on the planet. In fact, government is so hostile towards natural resources development that investors would rather go to Kazakhstan than Quebec!
Third, despite these prohibitive levels of taxation, La Belle Province is overly indebted – nearly 78 percent of GDP, in the top 10 jurisdictions on the planet. Of course, left-wing statists like Madame Chabot will dismiss this figure, stating that the province has plenty of assets to cover the debt. There's one problem with that statement: It supposes that the assets (hydro dams, buildings, roads, etc.) are liquid, i.e. that they can be sold easily and that their property can be easily transfered. It's far from being the case; plus, whenever someone proposes even the slighest selling of public-owned enterprises (or worse, letting foreign companies do the work), they scream their lungs off against it.
Finally, saying that government programs create wealth is one of the worst cases of "broken windows" I've seen in years. Yes, "we see" that jobs are created, especially unionized ones. But "we don't see" the wealth that isn't created because of all the taxes created to pay for these programs.
And these programs do not live to their expectations. Both the public daycare services and the parental leave programs have failed to increase birthrates significantly. Also, the supposed increase of women's participation in the workforce due to public daycare is uncertain, considering women's participation rates increased throughout the country.
In other words, if Madame Chabot truly wanted "social" justice, she would demand the forthwith abolition of social programs like public daycare and parental leave. The have become bottomless pits whose deficits keep increasing. What makes families richer is letting them have more money in their pockets, not letting the nanny state decide how that money should be spent.

today school someone told me i was dressed like a Huxtable. right away I thought of Denise.
she's friggen sweet and don't argue with me. i'd take comparisons to her any day. and denise wasn't afraid to wear HATS all the time. and big shoulder pads. and blazers. and baggy blouses. and etc, etc, so forth and so on. however, they didn't specifically say Denise. i was wearing my dad's old university sweater, a barely visible striped shirt and jeans, with red sneakers. i probably looked more like cliff, lets be honest.
the best part of this picture is cliff's sweater, admit it.
at the purchase of our second box of seasonal mandarin oranges, beth suggested we keep track of who eats the most.
i think beth's tally is around 6.
mine: 17+, but i lost track. i ate four today, but the days not over yet.
and i'm pretty sure i at the first box single handedly.
i am so ready to be DONEZO with school.

Indie Review: Blue is the Warmest Color
We rarely see any films these days that don't just deal with homosexuality, but sexuality in general. One other recent film that I can think of which deals with the complexity of sexuality is the 2011 tour-de-force Shame with Michael Fassbender. Not only does Blue Is The Warmest Color deal with themes of homosexuality and sex in general, but weaves those into a coming-of-age odyssey.
Blue is the Warmest Color is about a high school girl named Adele (Adele Exarchopoulos) who finds her life change forever as she meets a blue-haired lesbian woman named Emma (Lea Seydoux). The film follows the beginning, middle, and the possible end of their relationship.
What I Liked About It:
First off, I absolutely LOVED the direction of this film. Director Abdellatif Kechiche manages to incorporate the use of color to represent the different moods of the film and the characters. Throughout the film, the color blue is used and that definitely is symbolic for the character of Adele, as some of her personality traits that are associated with that color include her tranquility and at times trying to gain authority of herself. To some extent, the color represents Emma as blue also represents being a mellow free spirit which is what Emma is. Although, and hopefully I don't spoil it, towards the final act, Emma's hair color that is normally blue is dyed blonde and she reveals her rather tough exterior. So, Kechiche and the actresses all do a marvelous job at portraying of the color used in the film's title thanks to the direction and performances.
The performances bring me to my next point. The two actresses are just phenomenal. Adele Exarchopoulous really brings it home as a girl who is indecisive about her sexuality as she slowly transitions into a woman. Lea Seydoux delivers a wonderful supporting performance as Emma, Adele's partner who is more artistic and liberal-minded, unlike Adele who is more conservative with her future career plans, similarly to her family. The two actresses have wonderful chemistry together in this film and I hope that they really go far after this movie.
Another thing that I really liked and thought was interesting was how the film is almost a coming-of-age story that incorporates the theme of coming to terms with one's own sexuality and themes of relationships and homosexuality as well. Plus, even though the film is about 3 hours long, I wasn't bored and I found myself absorbed in the character of Adele's story and her emotional journey throughout the film.
What I Didn't Like About It:
Overall, Blue is the Warmest Color is a 3-hour emotional odyssey with outstanding direction and stellar performances from the two lead actresses. I honestly wouldn't say that I recommend this to everybody for a few reasons: One is that there are plenty of scenes of graphic sex, as well as the length and the fact that it is a foreign language film which means if you were to see it, you'd have to read subtitles. However, it is a very beautiful and artistic film nevertheless that I would recommend to those that love to study film or those that want to see something rather inventive.

MEDITATION: "Thou knowest that struggle is required to release from past mindsets, and to fill that
void with more constructive newly-created attitudes. When successful, the new mindset alters gen-
etic makeup, enabling the physical body to regenerate. Every human on Earth today holds Galactic
as well as Original Earthling DNA."
The Eleventh Step to Creating From the Future with Multi-Density Technologies is to trans-
transform or heal the physical body with energy alone. When we use Multi-D Intentional manif-
estations or healing, we first locate ourselves at least six feet away from electronics, in some quiet
place where we won't be disturbed.

Magic Valley, Idaho,1960: Hal goes into shock the morning after a severe knee injury. He turns grey-
white, stops breathing and has no pulse. Our phone is out, & I can't reach a doctor, ambulance or ho-
spital. As he lies on the bathroom floor, all efforts to revive him fail. I soak a washcloth with cold wat-
er and begin praying desperately in a very loud voice, asking Spirit to "Please help us. Please tell me
what to do." (Later, I wondered why I'd been looking in the mirror over the sink at a point above my he-
ad as I pleaded for help.)
As I apply the cold cloth to Hal's head, his body begins to jerk violently. I fear he might hit some bath-
room fixture and further damage his knee. I truly believe he is experiencing death throes. He has no
pulse, & has stopped breathing! All I can think of is to lie on top of him. "Face to face, heart to heart
__ eyes to eyes, and hands to hands", is the phrase that pops into my head. I pray even harder and
louder as I try to will the seizures under control. When he makes strangled noises deep in his throat, I
fear it is a "death rattle", but he resumes breathing and slowly regains consciousness.
My logical left brain accepts only that he was simply unconscious, but I'd had a great deal of home nu-
rsing in youth, and wondered why I could find no signs of life in him at all before I began praying so
earnestly. Years later, I learned how the prophet Elisha had used this method to revive a widow's
dead son (II Kings: 4:23)
Regenerating Pharaohs.
Lost River Valleys, Idaho, 1985: Full Moon in Aquarius: Spirit World Intentions & Education:
DREAM: I find myself in a large luxurious residence__a palace? I'm in a bed with a very dear pers-
on. I have great love for his spirit. His name is Akhnaton, and we lie face to face, heart to heart, han-
ds to hands as we talk and laugh. His noble face & clear shining eyes remained branded on my me-
mory cells even three thousand years later. I'm transmitting something to him__ healing energy, per-
haps. I sense that I'm a priestess/seer, & an energy exchange is occurring that must be done in sec-
ret. My guides tell me I have 'done the same with Amenhotep III and Thutmose III in earlier times.'
(Akhnaton's original name was Amenhotep IV.)
The dimly lit, bluish-gray room suggests pre-dawn light or perhaps an higher-density energetic glow.
Open archways along the wall let in the morning air and a cool breeze gently flows through sheer,
floor-length white draperies. I hear a group of people approaching the room, so I snatch up a robe,
put something on my head and hurriedly slip out through the tall windows to avoid being seen.
The Dream Shifts: In a classroom, I'm being taught by a group of advanced beings__ something ab-
out becoming an alchemist, about transmuting my soul from common to finest gold before I can tran-
smute iron into pure, spiritual gold. The "Electricities of the Creative Forces" were to be used. "Like
breathing in and breathing out", they tell me."It's all the same, only different phases at different times
and spaces".
The night before, I had asked for information on past life relationships & skills. This was two years be-
fore discovering Dr. Marcel Vogel and his crystal energy classes. Research on ancient healing tech-
niques revealed these energy exchanges were used to regenerate a body or raise the dead. The Eg-
yptian technique had to be done within twelve hours of the physical body's death. Dr. Vogel later told
us that Jesus, for example, used Sound (a 7th Density factor) when He said " Lazarus, arise!" He
healed with pure energy.
Research revealed that Akhenaton was the so-called "heretic" Pharaoh of Egypt from 1387 to 1370,
B.C., who introduced the idea of "one god " to the Egyptians. Amenhotep III was his father, & Thut-
mose II, his grandfather. Supposedly murdered by his enemies, Akhnaton's physical body has never
been found. Some authorities think he later reincarnated as Moses.
The eleventh step of Multi-Dimensionl Technology is to transmit, transform or heal the phy-
sical body with energy alone. Healing occurs through the 5-D circulatory system. Termed Ener-
getic, Spiritual or Intentional Healing, it regenerates the physical & subtle bodies by harmonizing
them through the Creative Force Field. Basically, the technique moves energy from one state to an-
other, or from one time or place to other times or places, using body motions, sound, light, em-
tion, thought, intention or other energetic factors that will affect matter.
with those pharaohs. I also asked if these healing abilities__ if that's what they were __could be used
by me in service to others. The Guides:
"As one serving in the Temple of Isis, in the episode with Akhenaton as with previous pharaohs, we
read the pharaoh's genetic imprints, & healed the body's energy flows. Pharaohs of the18th Dynas-
ty were galactic in origin, and normally lived thousands of years, due to their home planet's longer
solar cycle. After residing on Earth for a very long time, their DNA adapted to Earth's shorter solar
years, and they began to lose their longevity. With that change, there also came increased vulnera-
bility to the thought-forms, diseases and aging as is inherent in humans of present day."
"One of the functions of the Temple of Isis priestesses, who were themselves descended from both
Arcturian and Earth ancestors, was to use their higher consciousness powers to channel healing
forces for two purposes:
a) Cleanse the human social mindsets from the subtle bodies of the pharaonic company to allow for
more effective use of their galactic expanded powers. This was accomplished through the "eye to
eye, mouth to mouth" method, recently recalled."
b.)Through heart, hand, mouth, and skin contact, energies were projected into Akhnaton's body using
the same process as advanced yogis__ a sort of osmosis or absorption of visualized thought forms,
electroromagnetic and etheric energies."
"Every cell in our body changes within a seven year period. Transmitting, transducing & transform-
ing energy involves linking several dimensions. When healing with energy alone, we link the ener-
gy fields of both healer and recipient with the 5th Density, where we can bridge Time and Physical
Reality to link several densities as one. We promote resonance by altering the vibrations of living
beings to Harmonize (a creative skill) with the matrix of Universal Time & Space. Re-balancing the
body's sacred geometries regenerates it__ for the body's natural tendency is to move toward perfect
health. When both inner and outer energies are in harmony, the body will heal itself, often instantly."
"Chaos is necessary for change to occur. Earth's current rapid changes require us to regenerate
ourselves & our lifestyles at an ever-accelerating pace. We must live in resonance with Earth/Gaia,
while not allowing ourselves to be overwhelmed with fear and doubt. Changes are perceived by ma-
ster healers as opportunities for higher awareness. We've long considered the universe as a huge
machine , ignoring or denying invisible or energetic anomalies unrelated to that mechanistic view of
ML: We know now that the world is not entirely functioning as a well-oiled machine; so what causes
the exceptions?
A: "Scientists know about The Observer Effect: Energies behave differently when observed by a
human than if un-observed. Whatever we think and feel as we witness an event affects what occurs
while we watch. A focus on disease, rather than on health will affect what we see & experience. For
example, when Kathy was suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, she was sent to many doctors__
each specializing in one type of disease. After examining and testing her, each doctor diagnosed
Kathy as suffering only from the specific disease or maltunction that was his specialty."
"The health care problems so evident today are due to our present human belief systems with their
rigid, limiting perceptions of Who or What Humans Really Are. Hundreds of years ago a split occur-
red between spirituality and science. What does that mean for our everyday lives? It means our doc-
tors have been put in a parental role, leaving ourselves in the role of helpless children"
"Healing moved from viewing disease as a physical breakdown, to seeing it as a set of chemical im-
balances. Pharmaceuticals attempt to overcome these imbalances. Spiritual awareness and energ-
etic healing are largely absent in our medical system. New concepts in both spirituality and science
today are bringing the two back together. New methods of healing perceive dysfunction as an energ-
etic disharmony__ based on false thoughts, feelings, beliefs or actions__ that cause the chemical
imbalances. As individuals, we need to take responsibility for our own health and well-being.
We have finished."
Crystal Modalities
Quartz (silicon dioxide) crystals have piezzo-electric qualities; i.e., when subjected to pressure, they
produce a measurable electrical charge. Quartz, having more "spaces" between its atoms and mole-
cules than most minerals, stores the charges in our computers. We humans can place thoughts into a
crystal's lattice-like spaces to program it for a specific use. As a transducer, a crystal can change en-
ergy from one state to another. As an harmonic oscillator (a vortex alternating its spin directions with
surges of electrical charge), it becomes a linking & communicating device using, Intention, Thought,
Love and Breath to transduce soul vibrations.
My teachers, Robert Fritchie and Dr. Marcel Vogel, continually stressed the importance of Uncon-
ditional Love__ God's Love__ as the primary spiritual cohering and healing force in this universe. Dr.
Vogel developed a way of cutting quartz crystals that magnified their healing potentials exponentially
using the shape of the Kaballa "Tree of Life" with angles similar to the sides of the Great Pyramid at
Giza. He continually cautioned students to be extremely careful with crystals as,"They'll play back the
same type of stuff you pump into them."
In this and following chapters, the terms "server" or "facilitator" are used to indicate the person per-
forming the regenerating technique for someone other than theirself, and the terms "host", "client" or
"recipient" to refer to the one receiving the modality.
The potential of a clear quartz crystal lies in the heart & mind of its user, not in the gem itself. A crys-
tal is a tool that amplifies, transduces & coheres thoughts & energies or stores information. Although
a crystal is alive, by itself, it has no power; it is through the intentions of the host__ the crystal fac-
ilitator that transformations take place. Stanford University scientists proved this by transferring a 3-D
image of the Mona Lisa into a quartz crystal and retrieving it.
Although my teachers told me I didn't need a crystal for healing with energy__ at home it soon be-
came clear that people had trouble believing mere humans could invoke powerful healing energies
without some sort of device. I first used a large natural citrine quartz crystal, a dear friend brought me
from the Fayoum Desert in Egypt__ where the ancient pharaohs built their summer palaces__ for
healing. After that, people were more confident, believing in that chunk of rock, & regenerating proce-
edures were eagerly accepted. The citrine quartz worked fine; but after a few months it began to cra-
ck as my personal vibrations increased. A stronger, more powerful one made of purer material, with
more facets or sides was needed__ or I could do the techniques without a crystal. I chose to order a
nine-sided, double-terminated, Vogel Cut (tm) Quartz Crystal from: Vogel-cut Crystals.
1989: MEDITATION: ML: Does a Void of Course Moon affect Crystal Healings and the use of Vibra-
tional Remedies?
A. "An individual's VOC moon or planet in the birth chart might curtail the effectiveness of the heal-
ing techniques in general, depending upon the Zodiac Sign, the House/State, & degree, &-or if it is
"We all have the late and brilliant astrologer, Al H. Morrison to thank for his ground breaking work
and promotion of the Void of Course Moon. Al spent well over 40 years of his life researching, writ-
ing and teaching this astrological technique. According to Al: "Every couple of days there comes a
time which is best used to subjective, spiritual non-material concerns, like prayer, yoga, play, psyc-
hotherapy, or passive experience, sleep or meditation."

As we move toward Ascension and Creating with Pure Energy, our manifesting tools & skills will be-
come totally non-physical, non-material technologies and energies, replacing brushes, paints, stone,
clay, paper, crystals, tools, kitchens, guitars, gyms and arenas, theaters or books & even computers.
The Hierarchy of Medicinal Remedies.
When we take a complex molecular, Rx drug into our physical body, it dissolves and interacts chemi-
cally, but it also fragments into ions in our system, interacting electromagnetically with tissues in the
body. Any diseased tissue is in energetic imbalance. It's symptoms are usually corrected by the med-
ications we take, but the cause of the disease is not often or completely healed. The Hierarchy of Me-
dicinal Remedies compares chemical, herbal and energetic healing. (Archives give a more complete
Energetic Healing Tools
We've been developing energetic tools since we first applied Creative Skills from our art works to Ba-
sic Inner Technologies. We became Energy Artists, & saw how Art can therapeutically Bond one Dim-
ensional or Density State with another, and as Lightworkers we learned how pure creative energy &
Divine/Unconditional Love can assist healing. We'll explore the Energetic Healing Tools below, & in
Chapter 12, we'll demonstrate their application in detail.
The Energetic Creative Tools are: Emotion, Mind, Intent, Breath, Connections with Earth, Hi-
gher Self & Spirit; Movement, Sound, Light, Sacred Geometric Shapes, & a Perfect Sense
of Harmlessness, following Permission from Higher Self or Spirit.
1. Emotion: Unconditional Love__ Divine Love__ Creator's Love is the most expanded & powerful e-
motion that exists. It's the ultimate energy for all healing, manifestation or regeneration. Loving self &
others unconditionally affects the heart chakra/thymus gland__ the master portal to the immune syst-
Strong emotion, whether positive or negative, fuels the energetic movement, transmutation or transfor-
mation of matter. Unconditional Love moves energy through all densities & dimensions, including Neg-
ative Space-Time, operating beyond the speed of light. (Chapter 10: "Weird Science 101"). Loving
thoughts & positive expectations set us up for congenial outcomes because Love accesses a Future
Density state where Love prevails over every form of suffering.i.e. ,"Suffering" does not exist.
Human Emotion = "Light"= "Electromagnetism".
We can entrain electromagnetism with our emotions. No permanent regeneration will occur
without the presence of Unconditional Love. Using Love in our energetic work eliminates
any part of ourself influencing the outcome. With Spirit's Love__ God's Love__ WE OUR-
SELVES become power transmitters and transformers.
Energetic Healers use magnetic resonance to achieve expanded states of consciousness. Sending
Love from one discharged body into another discharged body doubles the charge in both. The recei-
ver of the ministrations always regenerates himself with the aid of his own Higher Self, Spirit and the
Creative Force. The server merely acts as a channel or vortex point__ a human crystal Stargate__ fo-
cusing the Creative Energies to cohere the client's energy fields The client and his Spirit Within heal
him in every case.
2. Mind: Mind is the energetic tool holding the technical knowledge__ the "how-to"__ that brings ab-
out desired transformations. Transformational energy always comes from a Density State above the
one in which the dysfunction exists. We can receive this creative mental energy rfom sources beyond
logic and reason (Ch, 4: "Spirit Within"). Mind accesses guidance from Higher Intelligences and Crea-
tive Force to realize the appropriate process through which the energy exchange will occur. When we
find ourselves in those Higher Densities where we're supported neither by material objects nor by lo-
gic, most of us feel threatened. Fear, as we know, is a major block to creativity__ and thus, to heal-
ing. Hence the need to learn to overcome fear. Divine Love always overcomes fear. (Chapter 7: "Dra-
gon Taming.")
The brain has four neural centers. Recently, a "fifth neural center" was discovered at Oxford
University in England. "Neurocardiology", indicates that 60-65% of all heart cells are neural
cells, identical to those in the brain, and the heart is a major endocrine glandular structure
of the body, producing hormones profoundly affecting the operation of body, brain & mind.
The heart produces two and a half watts of electrical pulsation with each beat, creating an electroma-
gnetic field identical to that of Earth. This could be behind our human ability to either continue our vio-
lent ways and destroy ourselves__ or achieve consciousness evolution through our emotions.
An energy artist (Lightworker) is an effective communicator in both conscious & unconscious realms,
and in both logical and intuitive states. Inspiration expands our thoughts for reception of new ideas, &
stretches our imaginative thinking processes beyond hat we'd thought possible. The creative skill of
Focus is critical to mastering and understanding any craft, as it coheres mind and thoughts through
an energy vortex to manifest the vision.
Mind is able to focus on only one step at a time__ on the next step only. Every disease, pain, injury or
disability carries with it an opportunity for consciousness regeneration. Because the body's natural te-
ndency is toward increased order, with Energetic Intentional Techniques, we do not "treat" a condition
__ we release energy blocks to enable an Energetic Balance.
We must move to expanded brain states and take our mind off what we're doing during healing tech-
niques. Our Higher Self-Spirit Within already knows perfectly well what to do. The host's Higher Self
triggers Creative Force to effect the healing. Surrendering to a complete openness to what needs to
happen next is the key for both server & receiver. Mind projects emotions, thoughts and ideas outwar-
dly in standing waves that remain forever__ as in the Akashic Records.
3. Intent: Consciousness always precedes manifestation__ whether creative or destructive.
Movement of the larger limbs of the body in rhythmic fashion actually increases the power of personal
will & motivates Intention. ( Hence Judo, Tai Chi Yoga,and Karati. ) When Mind & Emotions are clear
and focused, Intention chooses the target toward which the energy will move from one state to anoth-
er. Wording the Intention in a positive, loving manner is of the utmost importance.
Before beginning any Inter-Dimensional Technology__whether Basic or Expanded__ write down your
Intention; then speak it aloud. This promotes a clear and focused awareness of what needs to mani-
nifest. Avoid using negative terms such as "can't", "shouldn't", "prevent", "break down", "eliminate"
or "destroy", and use only positive terms, such as "is now balanced", or "has transformed", "allowing"
or "now functioning normally"__ i.e.__ it is already healed or manifested: THE FUTURE IS NOW!
4. Breath: Breath controls the Timing of the energy movement__ starting, stopping, speed-
ing, slowing. During an Energetic Intentional Technique__ Time is a bridging point between Densit-
ies, Dimensions and matter, or between energy and matter, enabling healing through inner growth &
creative trans-formation. When we breathe deeply and are in balance, we can maintain the well-being
of the physical body. Every diseased form has breathing difficulties__ for every cell in a physical bod-
y reacts to breathing patterns. Negative thoughts and imbalances inhibit energy flow within the body.
Persons suffering from anxiety or depression can't draw their breath in fully They experience shallow
Breath Control is a major requirement for moving into Dimensions or Densities beyond the
speed of light.
Controlled breath moves energy through our bodies & regulates the magnetics of attraction & repul-
sion, of expansion and contraction. Often, a minor dysfunction can be corrected simply by holding the
feeling of Loving Oneness with the affected cells and "breathing through" that area of the body for ab-
out a full minute.
Breathing Modes are used when working with the Energetic Healing Technique and other Expanded
Multi-Density Technologies:
YOGIC BREATHING or PRANIC BREATHING: features slow, deep inhalation of breath as an every-
day method for inhaling and exhaling. Useful for entering meditation, it's absolutely necessary for ac-
cessing energy fields to do any Expanded Multi-D Technologies. The Merkaba method is now also av-
ailable to the public via: YouTube.com. Search: "Drunvalo Melchizedek - Geometria Sacra - Merka-
ba 07/19" 10 min. (Sound poor).
a. First draw breath in through the nose__ not the mouth__ spiraling air through the nasal and sinus
passages, energizing the indrawn breath. Draw it in deeply, filling the stomach smoothly and entirely,
without stopping. Next fill lung areas completely. Finally, fill the shoulder and lower throat areas. This
is done in one long, smooth indrawn breath, retaining air until all three areas are full.
b. Releasing the Indrawn Breath: Breathe out of the three torso areas through your mouth in one
quick, smooth operation. It's best for health and consciousness to always breathe in the yogic way,
rather than in the short shallow breaths we've used for centuries. As air pollution intensifies it may be-
come vital to breathe this way, as it brings in the most oxygen and distributes it quickly throughout the
c. Holding the Indrawn Breath: Hold the deep breath, before expelling any air. It takes practice to do it
well__ Energetic Healers must be able to speak while holding their indrawn breath.
d. Expelling the Breath in one long, slow smooth flow, as opposed to "b".
e. "Pulsing" the Breath: Expel a previously indrawn and held breath in one very quick release, with a
burst of forced exhalation through the nostrils, rather then the mouth. It sounds and feels much like a
sneeze. (Have a few tissues handy until you catch on). You can feel the energy spiraling out through
the upper nasal passages. In Energetic Intentional Healing, it is important for both server and recipi-
ent to practice this step until it's comfortable, smooth and unselfconscious.
f. Withholding Breath: Lungs & all areas are entirely free of air__ no breath inside __ for a short time.
Regular meditators will be familiar with this state, for breath sometimes stops for hours while in deep
altered states. With-holding breath charges the bio-energy field of the breather, & can facilitate sens-
ing the thoughts of the recipient. (It also works when listening to a doctor, lawyer or salesperson.)
The Four Stage Breathing Technique
In a Two Stage Cycle such as the Yogic Breathing above, we breathed fairly naturally. In a Four Sta-
ge Cycle, we control the pumping mechanism rather drastically. Humans, when in hyper-dimensional
states, may become "conscious breathers". When whales, dolphins or evolved humans choose not to
breathe, they begin to move into higher dimensions. Automatic, two-stage breathing keeps a human
linked to the 3-D planes of Earth. ( See Archives for further instructions.) Robert Fritchie, "A Path
to Self-Healing Using God's Love and Crystals.": World Service Institute. Ontario, CA. 1986:
Breath control is used to put specific thought-forms called "programs" into a crystal or a body's energ-
y fields. The Four Stage Breathing Cycle enables us to store informational programs in our body or a
crystal by relaxing ourselves in the Holding Breath Stage, creating a clear mental image of what we
desire as we link with our intended target.
The Sonic Breathing Technique
An even more powerful, controlled breathing method is The Sonic Breathing Technique, the power-
house of charging up in preparation for major regenerations__ absolutely vital for balancing genetic
dysfunctions, cancer, heart disease, etc.. It consists mainly of deep breaths & pulsed breaths in a fix-
ed sequence, and is accomplished while standing with arms relaxed at one's sides. (See Archives for
further instructions.)
Both the Four Stage Breathing Cycle & the Sonic Breathing Technique pull prana/life force energy in-
to both individuals involved in the Techniques. Prana structures or encodes both the lattice forma-
tions of the crystal and the water in the body, prior to releasing energy into the client.
All successful remedying techniques require the server to draw energy from an accumulated charge,
which can be built up either through these breathing methods, &/or by grounding to Mother Earth and
linking to Spirit-Creative Force with Unconditional Love in one's heart. Once we feel ourself to be link-
ed between Earth and Spirit, we intensify the charge by thinking and feeling uplifting thoughts such
as peace, joy, gratitude or love. Listening to uplifting music also helps. When we reach a state of ecs-
tasy, feeling heat, tingling or floating sensations, we are fully charged. These transmissions are activ-
ated by using Breath along with Mind, Intent and Unconditional Love.
If the server is capable, it is best that she channel the necessary energies from higher densities or di-
mensions from Spirit-Creative Force than from her own inner life force, or she will soon deplete her-
self of both physical and emotional energies. We need to evolve our consciousness to a point where
we can serve as a channel for the healing energies of Universal Love, Universal Mind, and Universal
Purpose. The Creative Forces should do the healing, not our personal energies.
With any energetic healing method, prana moves through the energetic link (with the server's hand or
a crystal), into the recipientt's chakras, and from there circulates through the energy circuits of their
body via nadis and meridians), through the nervous system, the glands, the blood and thence to tiss-
ues & cells. The client may become red-faced or experience " flushing out" with sweating, sneezing,
coughing, runny nose, or frequent potty breaks. This usually occurs after the procedure is completed.
5. Intuition : Connects with Higher Self, Spiritual Guides, o ther Densities or Dimensions, or Creative
Force: As covered in Chapter 4: "Spirit Within", this is the power which must be i nvited in and activ-
ated to trigger Energetic Intentional Healing and other Expanded Multi-Dimensional Technologies and
which preserves the server from depleting her own energies.
6. Light, Sound and Movement: Sound, light and color are vibrational frequencies o f the electro-
magnetic spectrum conditioning the environment in which the healing is to be performed. Sound bells,
songs, music, rattles, mantras, chants), light, and physical movements (mudras) catalyze energy to vi-
brate, preparing it to move toward the intended target.
All sound, light or color can be produced from Mind & Unconditional Love alone. No physical device is
needed. Each individual has a different and specific basic vibrational tone to their body. As we con-
trol breath, moving mind and heart to other levels of consciousness, a tone (sound) generates within
the body__ a vibration. The tone can be changed into light or Light, forming a series of sacred geo-
metrical patterns with each indwelling and expelled breath. Our mood, thought or intention also rides
on our vocal sounds during any Expanded Multi-D Technology.
Chapter 9: Common Bonds" discussed how light color, sound and shape cause changes in the body
and consciousness. One of the very first conditions Spirit produced to bring Creation into manifesta-
tion was "Light". "Light" is the "universal "messenger", a direct means of carrying information from one
place or one state, to another. "Light Technologies"__including both Basic & Expanded Multi-D Tech-
nologies__ consist of the development and practical application of Unconditional Love and Oneness
with Creative Force & the recipient in non-material, non-physical, co-creative processes. Remember:
Creative Force is an Emanation of Spirit-Creator.
Every chakra or energy center of the etheric body is connected to a physical gland. They are vortex-
es which oscillate with clockwise and reversed surges of charge__ "Light" (5-D)__ and when combin-
ed with emotion and breath, form sacred geometrical patterns (shapes) (6-D) in and around the body.
(See Archives)
Movement is important in rituals or ceremonies where body postures and gestures must be carefully
coordinated. When hand, head or body moves along with appropriate breathing, an energetic renew-
al process activates, triggering energy movement.
"Our physical body is an open-ended, bio-electrical chemical system. Before we speak, we visualize
thought forms. Our hands, coupled with emotion, can form sacred geometric patterns in space"...
(6-D).. "which presage our words. During any Energetic Healing, any Sound"... (7-D)... we make
causes our body to generate a tone or vibration"... (5-D)... which projects into the hand patterns we'-
re holding as we speak and sense the thought. The hand pattern then holds the thought in en-rgetic
form. As we release the hand pattern, we also release its thoughtform, and with Intention, Emotion
and Breath, direct it to its target." (Marcel Vogel)
For Example, a priest, in the serving of communion, as did Jesus at the Last Supper, holds the bread
or the wine with his fingers forming a circle. He connects the tip of his thumb with the tip of his mid-
dle finger, completing an electrical cycle. It also helps to hold the tongue to the roof of the mouth__
another circle. When the bread is put into the mouth (a circle) with emotion, the hand releases the cir-
cular pattern. The thoughts & feelings held within the energetic pattern of both hand & mouth circles,
are released and directed toward the individual receiving the sacrament__ or healing energies __ as
the priest/server visualizes for 30 seconds, what he wishes to occur next. We don't need to be priests
or ordained ministers to do this effectively.
We are room temperature super-conductors; we emit electricity. Our body's electricity, however, does
not follow all the Laws of Thermodynamics. The body is a transducer, converting charges or chang-
ing energy from one level to another. An etheric energy body consists of Negative Space-Time/hyper-
dimensional energy. When we are in Unity Consciousness & a Zero Point State, no bias or emotional
charge), our etheric bodies have no charge, and therefore__ no limits.
Bio-informational geometric patterns can be downloaded into an etheric body. We transfer thought-
forms from the spatial patterns wherein we evolved them, into our water-based bloodstream. The
blood circulates the energetic thoughtform throughout the body, where it's transformed into electrical
impulses to be encoded into DNA factors, and later discharged as required. The harmony of our cell-
ular membrane's charges is maintained by our own thoughts and feelings.
Mudras are sacred, geometrically-patterned hand positions and gestures.. (6-D)..that activate energy
transference. For certification in the Crystal Healing Classes, one of our final exams was to perform
a crystal technique as Dr. Vogel & the class observed. When my turn came, the "client" was a young
woman who asked for assistance in releasing intense emotional trauma, due to a relationship that
had ended badly.
As I reached the point of charging & programming the crystal with Love, Breath, Thought, and Inten-
tion, H. S. suggested I hold my arms straight down beside my body, palms facing outwards, about
eight or ten inches away from my hips, holding the crystal in my right hand with thumb and middle-
finger around its center, while forming a similar circle with the thumb and middle-finger of my empty
left hand. I also held my tongue to the roof of my mouth. No reason was given for this, but I followed
instructions & was later astonished at the subject's extreme release of emotional energy. Not only did
she bend over and expel breath in gasps, she collapsed toward the floor. With my crystal-hand at her
mid-section to ease the emotional trauma, I held her up with my other arm to keep her out of the pud-
dle of tears on the floor, formed from her tears. I stroked her etheric backbone with my free hand for
half an hour. We were both physically exhausted when she could finally stand up.
This overwhelmingly intense healing had some observing students puzzled, and Dr. Vogel called for
comments. Several asked about the unusual hand mudra. I simply said H. S. suggested it, but didn't
say why. Melissa said it didn't seem to matter, as, "Obviously, it really worked!"
For years I wondered about that mudra. Research on mudras and healing techniques from books or
other healers never disclosed anything about that hand formation, and why it so greatly increased eff-
ectiveness. Higher Self, when asked, simply suggested I would "know when the time was right"__
seems I didn't yet need to fully understand it. Sometimes, with permission, I used it for healing and at
other times not__ but it always intensified the releasing effects by at least ten-fold, and always there
was almost instantaneous, complete and permanent healing. It was especially valuable when altering
genetic disease tendencies.
Personal Energy Fields: THE VITRUVIAN MAN.
1994: Seven years later, I participated in Drunvalo Melchizedek's "Flower of Life" worlkshop. As we
studied Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of "The Vitruvian Man" (Figure 8-A), also known as "Universal
Man", and the sacred geometries connected with it, our attention was drawn to the Sacred Geometry
forms of the Fibonacci & Golden Mean Spirals ..,(6-D),,, moving through certain areas of the 64
square Energy Field Grid when overlaid upon the Man's body. (Figure 8-B). I felt I was on the track of
the strange mudra that was so effective in regeneration; it concerned the 64 codons of our DNA.
Early in 1999, Drunvalo Melchizedek's book, Volume I of "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life"
arrived. Having the diagrams drawn out and explained in detail, I was then able to take time to study
them and understand their purposes. The diagrams presented here are based on the Flower of Life
seminar workbook.
A Personal, Living Energy Field__ the 64 square grid formed of sacred geometric patterns ...6-D)... a-
lso known as "The Magic Square" ( www.dr-mikes-math-games-for-kids.com/images/magic-squares.
html) __ representing codons that turn off and on our DNA, interpenetrates and surrounds the physi-
cal body. As we perform Energetic Intentional Healing, we access that field to restructure the body's
etheric blueprint. Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man", featuring the human body in two positions,
is a diagram of some of those geometries. It is a Key to understanding how to unite several Densities
or Dimensions simultaneously.
The "Vitruvian Man" stands with legs together & arms held straight out from the shoulders to fit within
the large square. When his arms are raised, and his legs spread apart, he will fit within the big circle.
The square represent 3-D Earth, & the circle, Creative Force-Spirit-Hyper-Densiity realms.
The Fibonnaci Spiral (Uni-man.gif) represents 3-D Earth. It has a beginning and an end. The Gold-
en Mean (Phi) Spiral represents the Creative Force-Spirit-Hyper-Density Reams. I t has No Beginn-
ing, and No End!
Therefore, the Golden Mean Spiral has No Time, and No Space. IT IS BEYOND SPACE-TIME.
Reading Energy Fields
Sensing the energy fields around our own or others' bodies can be done with dowsing rods, a pendu-
lum or kinesiology. A partner can help us practice as we measure the boundaries of each others' sub-
tle bodies. Beginning with dowsing rods__ two wire coat hangers bent into L" shapes, with the short
ends forming the handles__ and intending the long rods open with a "yes" response, or cross with a
"no"__ the dowser can soon sense energy fields with only his empty hands. Further practice sharp-
ens senses until inner sight alone is sufficient.
To intuit energy blocks in a body: First link Mind with Unconditional Love, then intuitively scan the bo-
dy with rods, hands or inner sight for past traumas that appear as energy blocks in the part of the bo-
dy trapping the disturbance. Usually, these blocks occur where the host reports pain dysfunction, or
unusual physical symptoms such as tingling, itching, cold, heat or numbness. Servers can detect the-
se symptoms with the palms of their hands. As confidence and trust grow, we begin to "see" with our
inner eyes exactly where and how something is out of balance in the body. For a clairvoyant, the inn-
er sight recognizes blocked areas as dark, blurry, angry, reddish or churning energy patches. At more
advanced consciousness levels, server's and client's Higher Selves connect, & server simply "knows"
where the problem lies and what needs to be done.
7. Connection with Earth and Earth Energies: Earth is our home base in the solar system and univer-
se. Although the healing energy comes from other densities or dimensions, we need to consciously
link mind and heart with Gaia/Earth to anchor energy movement into 3-D Time & Space during a heal-
ing or manifesting. In Ch. 3: "The Great Mother", grounding with Earth completed a circuit that creat-
ed a conduit for the transference of Creative Energies.
Healing self or assisting others to heal, produces resonant effects in the planetary grid and
affects others so attuned. In a sense, when connected with both Earth and Spirit while heal-
ing one individual, it is possible to trigger healing of both planet and humanity.
8. Preparing the Healing Environment: One of the first things taught when co-creating with a Creative
Force is how to prepare a space for meditating or doing energy work. It can easily be done by purify-
ing a chosen area__ a room, a large Hall or simply setting a sphere or column of energy around one-
self & those to be included in the procedure. The ancient, traditional way is to smudge and use sound
__ rattles, drums, bells, songs or chants. It can also be done by visualizing a protective energy field,
separated off from the mundane physical world with Love in the Heart, Intending it tot be sacred. One
may prefer to visualize this field as consisting of Divine Light.
9. Protection: The best protection for both server and host during an Energetic Technique is
to steadily hold a Perfect Sense of Harmlessness and to intend results be in keeping with
Creator's purposes, and for the highest good of all concerned. This prevents negative energy
from splashing back onto both server and client through any subconscious negative thoughts or feel-
ings held by those present. A Prayer of Protection can also be spoken aloud, as offered in Chapter 4:
"Spirit Within".
The variety of physical, mental, emotional & spiritual therapies to be balanced with Energetic Tech-
niques is virtually endless . Personal experience has revealed some of the "Types of Energetic Intent-
ional Healing" that can be done for individuals. (See Archives for the list)

It's been a windy old week here in the south and for several nights, now, I've been woken by the pleasant sound of protein dropping onto the tin roof of our house. Thanks to the possum culling team working in our area this last year, our walnut tree has a bumper crop and is now happily delivering its fruit to the ground (or the roof!). I don't remember when we planted our walnut tree, but it's likely to have been a good 25 years ago. Nor can I tell you what variety it is though it's a good guess that it was one of the least costly (back then, we were poverty-stricken peasants rather than "peasants by choice"). Not that one need wait 25 years for a harvest of walnuts, of course, as there are several grafted varieties of tree that bear fruit after 3-5 years. Wilson's Wonder is one of the most popular, producing large fruit that are ready to eat when they fall.
Walnuts on our own tree are moist and without flavour until they've spent a few weeks drying inside their shell. We collect them as soon as they hit the ground. The green protective layer around the nuts has already split open so it's an easy job to pop the walnut out. We collect the nuts as soon as possible after they've fallen to prevent rodent attack and to limit mildew or rot setting in. Any nuts with a decaying outer layer are thoroughly rinsed and then placed, with the others, on the deck to dry in the sun. It would be nice to think this could happen over a period of weeks but rain is all too common in the The Catlins so the nuts are inevitably brought inside and placed in a string bag where they hang at the back of the fireplace to dry out further. Being a gardener, I covet the fibrous green protective layer almost as much as the nuts as it makes the most wonderful addition to the compost.
If you're contemplating growing a walnut (or two, actually, as pollination can be a problem if you are working with just one variety of tree) I won't go into details as there is a load of information, clearly explained, at http://www.treecrops.org.nz/crops/nut/walnut-crop-guide/ and the advice is specifically tailored to NZ requirements. I will say, however, that I've learned more about walnuts from my regular trips to Greece than through any other source. On the mountain village above the little town I always stay in, giant walnut trees (probably the traditional European variety) dot the hillsides. These enormous trees grow on a very sunny, south-facing (we're talking northern hemisphere here) hillside. The ground is fertile but well drained, the winters severe, the summers intensely hot, and frosts come neither too early in spring or too late in autumn. Which about sums up what walnuts require if they are to thrive. Having said that, you couldn't find a region more opposite in climatic conditions from The Catlins, so press on regardless!
But climate aside, there's something else that I've leaned through my observation of walnut-growing in Greece. Walking about the mountain village of Kosma (the name means "The world") in late autumn, you will inevitably find women sitting in groups in the last of the season's sun, huge tubs of nuts spread out before them as they go about the endless task of shelling. Far from being an arduous mind-numbing chore, it is a time of companionship, a chance to chat with friends, joke with children, and exchange news as well as recipes. A reminder that the season of growth has come to an end, shelling walnuts is nature's way of slowing one down in preparation for the long, lazy months of winter when all that is required of us is a book or two, some simple craft to pass the time, and a stack of well-dried wood to warm the hearth. And who needs more encouragement than that to plant a walnut tree this winter!

MEDFORD, N.Y., March 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CEMI), a leader in point-of-care diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2014.
John J. Sperzel III, Chembio's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to report Q4 revenues of $7.10 million and year-end revenues of $27.65 million. This marks the third consecutive quarter in which we have had revenues above the $7.0 million mark and we are thrilled that our DPP® sales for the year increased by 137% as compared to 2013. While total revenues for 2014 represent a slight decrease as compared to 2013, this is due primarily to Chembio's fulfillment of a single $5.3 million international STAT-PAK® order in 2013, which did not recur in 2014, as well as a decrease in U.S. sales revenue of $2.3 million due to our termination of the STAT-PAK® distribution agreement with Alere. Despite the approximately $7.6 million attributable to these two factors, Chembio was able to report only a $1.9 million decline in revenue for the year. This was made possible by the dramatic growth we are seeing in DPP® product sales, which accounted for 60% of 2014 sales compared to 24% of sales in the prior year."
Mr. Sperzel continued, "It is Chembio's goal to combine our expertise in HIV diagnostics with our innovative DPP® technology to create a global diagnostic business that extends well beyond HIV and infectious disease. To this end, the strategy that we implemented in 2014 has already begun to pay dividends. Last year we established and expanded our U.S. sales and marketing team, met multiple regulatory milestones including the CLIA-waiver for our DPP® HIV 1/2 Assay for use with oral fluid and blood, generated significant sales growth in Latin America, advanced our partnership in Malaysia, and established new high-potential partnerships to develop new and innovative diagnostics for Dengue fever, Ebola and febrile illness, flu immunostatus and a specific form of cancer."
"Our partnering momentum has continued into 2015 as we've recently entered into an agreement to develop a point-of-care (POC) test for traumatic brain injury (including sports related concussion) and we have partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation toward the development of a next-generation POC Malaria assay. With these achievements behind us, we are optimistic that the strategy we implemented in 2014 will strengthen our base business in POC infectious disease testing, create new opportunities to leverage our patented DPP® technology, advance our key development programs and commercial partnerships, and establish the foundation for success in 2015 and beyond."
Financial information comparing Q4 and the full-year 2014 are to the 2013 periods (Note: 2013 included the shipment of a single $5.3 million international STAT-PAK® order, which did not recur in 2014 as well as a $2.3 million decline in sales to Alere following termination of our STAT-PAK® distribution agreement).
Financial information comparing the full year 2014 to the full year 2013:
- Total revenues of $27.65 million compared with $29.55 million (a decrease of 6.4%);
- DPP® revenues of $15.66 million compared with $6.59 million (an increase of 137%)
- Operating loss of $1,550,000, compared with operating income of $1,005,000;
- Net loss of $1,137,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with net income of $531,000, or $0.06 per diluted share.
Financial information comparing the 2014 fourth quarter to the 2013 fourth quarter:
- Total revenues of $7.10 million, compared with $7.86 million (a decrease of 9.7%).
- Product sales of $6.55 million, compared with $7.10 million (a decrease of 7.7%).
- Operating loss of $672,000, compared with operating loss of $176,000
- Net loss of $496,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $262,000, or $0.03 per diluted share
Additional 2014 Information
The total revenues for the year 2014 consisted of product sales of $25.95 million compared with $27.52 million for the prior-year. R&D, milestone, and grant and royalty revenues for 2014 were $1,696,000 compared with $2,034,000 for the prior-year. The decrease in product sales is due primarily to the shipment in 2013 of $5.30 million from a single non-recurred STAT-PAK® order, as well as the decline in sales in Africa and to Alere in 2014, the latter as a result of the termination of our STAT-PAK® distribution agreement, partially offset by increased DPP® sales. However, during 2014, total aggregate end-user sales of our STAT-PAK® and SURE CHECK® lateral flow products in the U.S. increased over 2013.
Gross margin for the year 2014 was $10.81 million compared with $12.30 million for the prior-year, due primarily to the non-recurrence of the STAT-PAK® order described above and also to product mix. Product gross margin for the year 2014 was $9.12 million compared with $10.27 million for the prior-year, also due primarily to the non-recurrence of the STAT-PAK® order, product mix, and the decline in STAT-PAK® sales to Alere.
R&D expenses for the year 2014 were $4.83 million compared with $5.83 million for the prior-year. This decrease is due primarily to a reduction in clinical trial expense related to our DPP® HIV 1/2 Assay CLIA waiver study.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year 2014 were $7.53 million compared with $5.46 million for the prior-year, largely due to higher investment in sales and marketing personnel, increased commissions, and related costs.
Operating loss for the year 2014 was $1,550,000 compared with operating income of $1,005,000 for the prior-year.
Net loss for the year 2014 was $1,137,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with net income of $531,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the prior-year.
Fourth Quarter Information
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 of $7.10 million were down 9.7% compared with total revenues of $7.86 million in the prior-year period. Product sales in the 2014 fourth quarter of $6.55 million were down 7.7% compared with product sales of $7.10 million in the prior-year period. R&D milestone, and grant and royalty revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased to $546,000 from $764,000 in the prior-year period.
Gross margin for the 2014 fourth quarter decreased 11% to $2.91 million compared with $3.27 million for the prior-year period, due primarily to the lower amount of R&D, milestone, and grant and royalty revenues. The amount of product gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2014 decreased 5.7% to $2.36 million, from $2.50 million in the prior-year period.
R&D expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 were $1.39 million, compared with $1.69 million in the prior-year period. This decrease is due primarily to a reduction in clinical trial expense related to our DPP® HIV 1/2 Assay CLIA waiver study.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 increased to $2.19 million from $1.76 million in the prior-year period, largely due to increased wages and related costs and increased marketing materials.
Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $672,000, compared with an operating loss of $176,000 for the prior-year period.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $496,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $262,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the prior-year period.
Balance Sheet Highlights
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.61 million as of December 31, 2014, compared with $9.65 million as of December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to net cash used in investing activities to fund deposits on and purchase of fixed assets of $1.45 million as well as net cash used in operating activities of $3.82 million, which included an increase in accounts receivable of $3.77 million, an increase in inventory of $.45 million and an increase in accounts payable of $.64 million. Our working capital decreased by $1.85 million during the year from $14.22 million to $12.37 million.

(Reuters) – A 5-year-old boy who arrived from Guinea was being observed in isolation at Bellevue Hospital in New York City for possible Ebola symptoms, according to media reports Monday, as New York and New Jersey stuck to new plans to quarantine health workers returning from countries hardest hit by the virus.
The boy, who arrived in the United States on Saturday, had a 103 degree Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius) fever, ABC News reported. He has not been tested for the virus and was not under quarantine, ABC said, citing New York City health department officials.
The New York Post said the boy had been vomiting and was taken from his home in the Bronx by emergency medical workers.
Four people have been diagnosed with Ebola in the United States. The first diagnosis, a Liberian visitor to Texas in September who died, was riddled with missteps. Two nurses who treated the man contracted the disease but have recovered.
The missteps and delays in diagnosis of the Liberian man prompted some states to impose or consider restrictions on travelers coming from the West African countries where the virus has killed nearly 5,000 people.
