Moringa-O² combines the vitamin powerhouse of moringa or malunggay, olive oil and omega (sunflower) oil
With this in mind, we would like you to rediscover the secrets of nature with Moringa-O² herbal hair and skin care products. Moringa-O² is formulated from a combination of natural oils, vitamins, and minerals which naturally rejuvenate, nourish, and protect the skin. The combined properties of all three natural ingredients yield Vitamins A, E, and C which aid in keeping skin young, radiant, and glowing.
Moringa helps repair and restore the hair and skin. It is used as a potent ingredient in making herbal products for skin due to its very high Vitamins A (4x of carrot) and C (7x of oranges) content. Moringa improves skin elasticity, keeping it supple, and also helps lighten skin. Olive oil is deeply moisturizing and has mild astringent properties, keeping skin healthy. Omega contained in sunflower oil completes our products' star ingredients. Omega has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe and heal the skin, as well as enhance the regeneration of skin cells.

What Our Clients Say
Hair CareI've been using Moringa-O2 since 2014. I experienced hair fall due to stress and looked for a shampoo that can solve this problem. After using the small bottle for 1 week, my hairfall lessened significantly. I've used it ever since until I gave birth, and I never had problem on (major) postpartum hair fall. Thanks Moringa-O2, I can even dye my hair again. : )
Skin CareMy kids and I have always had sensitive skin. We always struggled with stubborn tiny little bumps and itchiness all over our body due to skin asthma. About 3 years ago when we start using Moringa-O2 herbal soap, the itchiness of skin was lessen and it got me intrigued. After a month, little tiny bumps began to decrease and gave me and my kids a soft smooth skin. We love the result and search for other Moringa-O2 products in the market. Then we had the Moringa-O2 lotion and herbal oil as a total skin regimen. Found and tried Moringa-O2 shampoo and conditioner with Argan oil as well. My hair got a bit more volume and feel very healthy. The products are so amazing! I love that it is made from natural malunggay ingredient. I recommend it to my family and friends. My brothers and parents are using Moringa-O2 herbal soap, shampoo and conditioner. We are proud and happy user of Moringa-O2 products.
SKIN CAREThis is very unexpected for a herbal lotion, is this for real? I mean, this one smells good. I love the creamy green texture. I love that i can see my skin looks a little creamy and bright upon application. I like that it is not sticky on my skin. I love how moisturizes my skin and specially how it smoothens my skin specially my knees and elbows. I 'll actually buy another.

Kefir is becoming very popular, some of you may have heard of it and wondered what on Earth is it?! Kefir is a cultured, fermented drink loaded with several strains of probiotics, which colonise our Gut also vitamin B12, Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin K, Folate, Biotin, enzymes and some amino acids.
Kefir has many health benefits:
1. Boosts Immune System (antibacterial properties).
2. Helps Digestion and Gut health (e.g. combats IBS, bloating, indigestion, constipation).
3. Build Bone strength and lowers the risk of Osteoporosis.
4. Heals Skin (e.g. acne, psoriasis, eczema, rash or burns).
5. Improves Lactose Intolerance symptoms, Allergy and Asthma.
6. Potentially fights Cancer.
7. Supports Mental Health (e.g. combats anxiety, depression, sleep issues).
8. Aids weight loss.
Just to make it clear, Kefir is a drink but Kefir grains are the "starter kit" that is use to make the drink. Those grains are cultures of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, which multiply and ferment the sugars in the milk or coconut water, turning it into Kefir.
You can buy Kefir grains in health food stores (e.g. Nature's Gold - Greystones, Open Sesame - Ennis & Gort, Evergreen - Galway & Oranmore, Tattie Hoaker - Roscommon). The process is very simple:
Put 1-2 tablespoons of Kefir grains into a jar.
Add around 2 cups of milk, preferably organic or raw milk. Milk from grass-feed cows is healthiest. As an alternative use coconut milk, rice milk or coconut water. Leave one inch of room at the top of the jar.
Put the cheesecloth, paper towel or a clean napkin and secure it with a rubber band. Store the jar at room temperature for 24 - 36 hours. That's it.
Once is start to look clumpy, it is ready. Strain out the Kefir grains and transfer them to fresh milk or water. The liquid you have left is your Kefir drink and can be drunk immediately or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
So, remember Kefir is easy to make, inexpensive, high in nutrients and beneficial bacteria. Can be use to make delicious smoothes, ice-cream or yogurts.
But if you don't have time, patience or you to lazy there is few Irish companies making great, natural Kefir products: "King of Kefir" - water kefir in 3 different flavours, "Kefi"- ice cream in 5 delicious flavours, "Blakes Feel Good Kefir" - fermented dairy milk drink.
Try them all, enjoy!

This is the twelfth and final installment of the first annual JI Summer Book Club. This year we are reading Richard Bushman?s landmark biography of Mormonism?s founder, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2005). JI bloggers have covered small chunks of the book in successive weeks through the summer, with new posts appearing Monday mornings. We invite anyone and everyone interested to read along and to use the comment sections on each post to share your own reflections and questions. There are discussion questions below.
- Part 1: Prologue, Chapters 1-2
- Part 2: Chapters 3-4
- Part 3: Chapters 5-6
- Part 4: Chapters 7-9
- Part 5: Chapters 10-12
- Part 6: Chapters 13-15
- Part 7: Chapters 16-18
- Part 8: Chapters 19-21
- Part 9: Chapters 22-24
- Part 10: Chapters 25-26
- Part 11: Chapters 27-28
- Next Week: Response from Richard Bushman
This fall Journals, Volume 3, of the Joseph Smith Papers will be released. This is the last of Joseph Smith?s journals and covers the end of his life. It will be noted for its generous use of the Nauvoo Council of Fifty record books, a document of near mythological character (though soon to be banalized by availability). In the case of the Council of Fifty, the record may be the only significant new document to expand on Bushman?s overall project to become available since publication. J3 also includes the most frank disclosures about the Nauvoo Temple liturgy to be published by the LDS Church in more than a century. I thought about this as I read through the final chapters of Bushman?s biography of Joseph Smith. It is the two associated ideas: theocracy and temple cosmology that saturate Smith?s final six months.
Bushman?s cool narration of 1844 flushes out the players and issues that culminate in the bloody death of Joseph Smith alongside his brother. We see the storm rise over the parched landscape, the lightning strike, and then the fields burn. It is hard to imagine any other conclusion to these months. Bushman carefully corrects the narrative of its most hyperbolic hagiographic conceits while appearing to simply narrate the events as they happen.
What I found simultaneously impressive and frustrating with RSR?s final chapters, was Bushman?s awareness of JS?s theocracy and temple cosmology, and their importance to every single sermon and every single crisis. The King Follett sermon and subsequent June 16, 1844 sermon were Smith?s most complete and public explication of the temple cosmology. Smith captured believers? secret loyalty to the cosmology of polygamy, while simultaneously engaging in what those who could not believe certainly observed to be bawled prevarication. And like polygamy, his theocracy was based, at its core, in the temple.
I found this section impressive because Bushman was able to bring so many important and complicated features forward in a way that has also launched many other scholars? great inquiries. God never had the power to create the spirit of man at all, and God the Father was a man as Jesus was in the flesh. Kings and Priests. Great Chain of Being. I found it frustrating, because Bushman is so dang subtle. The only non-logistical pointer to the temple in these chapters is a passing reference to the ?dramatilurgical.? For something that was so polarizing and so essential, I wanted Bushman to be explicit. I wondered if the inevitability of Smith?s death wasn?t just situational. Was Smith?s cosmological dissonance with America ultimately deadly? Smith wanted ?theocracy? in his own words.
After finishing this section, and agreeing with its author, I did want one more thing. I wanted to be able empathize more with Jane and William Law, Emma and Joseph Smith, and Mary Ann and Brigham Young. Accepting the fact of Smith?s polarization is the easy part.
Discussion Questions:
Was Smith?s death inevitable?
Is it best described as a conflict between old settlers and new settlers? Remember that there was no Nauvoo Temple cosmology in Jackson. Zionism brought with it some hefty cosmology, but you didn?t have a Foster or Law in 1833 (partly because JS wasn?t around?). There were dissenters running up to the Missouri War, though. Also Danites.
Is my question about a cosmological inevitability just silly?

Awesome song as always :) gj
Awesome song as always :) gj
Really?! Coldharbour recordings ?!. That one is as big and popular as Zouk Recordings :|, and both are a sublabel from Armada. If you can get in there, you've made it to the top instantly :P.
Then again, the track equals in quality with every track i've heard there so far.
Especially the percussion is fantastic. A really strong point in the track. The track actually gives me images about the rain forest and the jungle. Because of the bongo's and african drumsounds early on.
Maybe a good name for your track would be : Amazonia. If I would've made it that would be the name lol. Or something like Anaconda or anything rain
Keep going mate!
I will start making tracks again soon aswell, I just got a new computer, but Sylenth1 is not running on Windows 8 >.<
Lol thanks man!
i think we've found just the perfect title for this track,
tho we are going to keep it a secret for a little while.
however we will update if anything is up!
anyways, if everything goes smoothly, then yes, if we are given a chance @Coldharbour.
if not, there are certain other labels we have looked at and they will do just as fine ;)
its no shame to atleast try the best labels.
what matters most is if the track gets a release.
Lol yea i was kinda hoping you would start again!
actually i was waiting for it to happen but yea.
and WHAT!? sylenth doesnt work on Win8?
thats going to get a place in my "EPIC fail compilation of 2013" for sure!
anyways if anything pups up on my soundcloud ill definitely check it out ASAP!
take your time! and thanks for your time here at Newgrounds :)
amazing song i love how it starts it reminds me of something from crash bandicoot and then when kick and sidechained synths come in im in heaven. your mixing skills are great too 5/5
Nice dude, I really like it at 1:10! It sounds surreal. LIke most of your songs, it's really dreamy and crazy (in a totally awesome way :D:D:D:D:D:D) but yeah, i enjoy it a lot, it has that mystical Cahzmana sound that I really like dude!
Haha thanks allot tommy :D:D im glad people enjoy this tho..
im a bit afraid this will be too much of it, as in production value since this is made for the big stages instead of just a pleasant song to listen to.
i got a couple titles you could try out!
"winter is coming"
"the highway"
"the greatest height"
"cold as steel"
anyway love this already, 5, favorited, downloaded!!
Ha! i knew it. ''the highway'' what makes you say that? is it because this might make you drive faster and faster on a highway/freeway!? strong one.
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.

About the Project
Voices of the City underscores the public experience with positive and informative sound design to promote areas such as education, inclusiveness, integration, and travel. This project aims to bridge cultural borders, fomenting a greater appreciation and familiarity with cultural diversity, ultimately reducing segregation and separatism.
The mission of the project is to expose citizens to the vast variety of resources and culture Chicago has to offer, thereby encouraging greater integration. This will help to reduce separatism, ultimately creating a friendlier environment that contributes to economic vitality. Moreover, by exposing people to informative sound mosaics, we can familiarize ourselves with, and celebrate the rich variation of linguistic and inflective diversity in the Chicago area.
The project is to audio record a group of racially and ethnically diverse people from across the metropolitan area. Participants are asked two questions: 1. Where are you from? and 2. What's your favorite place in the city/ suburb? Their responses are woven into a multi-voice tapestry resulting in original sound collages.
Thus far, 350 voices have been recorded from 22 Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs. The project goal is to reach 1000 voices by Fall 2019.
Areas visited throughout the Chicago area include:
Lincoln Park
Logan Square
Little India
Rogers Park
North Riverside
Oak Brook
Glen Ellyn
Oak Park
River Grove
University Village/ Little Italy
Wicker Park
South Loop
Auburn Gresham
Washington Park
Hyde Park
Whiskey Row
Humboldt Park
These days, audio messages have become increasingly ubiquitous. For example, In 2000, technological advances introduced audio announcements to public transit that inform passengers about the status of a given ride. In addition to informative announcements, audio advertisements have been introduced to the public experience.
So we asked, Why not utilize this pre-existing technology to promote diversity and education through creative sound design?
Voices of the City is currently approved to be broadcast on Pace Suburban Bus. For more information on where you can hear the sound collages, visit our Current Work page.

On July 5, 2011, six Fullerton police officers responded to a call that a man appeared to be burglarizing cars. They found Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old (and 135 pounds) schizophrenic homeless man. The cops then beat him to death.
Upon realizing what they'd done, the cops ran off. By the time an ambulance (and new police officers) arrived, they six guilty cops were gone. (But apparently, the Fullerton P.D. knows who they are -- there's an "internal investigation" going on.)
The six cops left Kelly Thomas in a coma. Thomas died five days later.
Here are before and after shots of Thomas:
This story remained buried for three weeks, until the London Daily Mail reported on it. Then KFI-AM's John and Ken Show picked it up, beginning coverage on July 27, and going all day on it on July 28.
John suggests that if the homeless man were black, the Los Angeles Times would have been more aggressive in its coverage. That this beating is worse than that of Rodney King (who, after all, survived).
In any event, by now the story's gone viral. The best, original source for news on this story appears to be Friends for Fullerton's Future.

Sketching in Asheville
While she finished her semester, however, Youngest, Dearest and I did some touring in Asheville, including the Biltmore House grounds and gardens, and the NC Arboretum. These two sketches were done on location, but the hour in front of the subject was only enough to catch the lines with pencil and memorize the colors and light. Inking and watercolors were applied later, in the hotel room. This Biltmore gardens sketch is the most elaborate and detailed I've done to-date - and I spent about 3 and a half hours on it. It was good to go this far, and to see what I could do with the fountain pen and the little watercolor field kit which is all I carry on these trips. I'm pleased with the result. The conservatory building creates a particularly beautiful backdrop for this garden, and this sketch catches much of my feeling for the spot. The orange bricks against the cool greenish brown stucco is gorgeous.
The second sketch is of a complex redbud tree that is a central player in the perennial gardens beside/behind the main visitor center. I've loved this tree since the first time I saw it, with its crazy weave of branches and the red heart shaped leaves. It was still early in the year, in Asheville, and the leaves were still small and registered as individual red shapes, rather than a mass of overlapping darker shadows. I believe I did a better job, in this sketch, with the depth of the tree branches, using detail, line, and cooler colors to better effect than I've been able to previously.
Sketches are approximately 10 x 12. Lamy fountain pen with Noodler's brown ink, and Cotman watercolors.

My youngest is graduating next month and has decided to stay in Boston where she has some prospects. I am thankful for that but I'm now feeling the empty nest more than ever.
These are lovely. I've been enjoying your traveling sketches. How wonderful to be able to capture where you are with your pencil. The only way I'm able to do that is with a camera.
Enjoy having your daughter home for the summer.

I love these sketches. Your drawings of trees and houses always remind me why the soul is so well expressed through trees and houses. The colors in these sketches seem more vivid, and the definition of the lines is evocative of sunlight.

These are really inspired drawings, Steve. I was very impressed with the ease of your technique in expressing the elegance of both subjects. I love the clarity.

the details in both of these sketches make them almost magical, fantastical. you seem to create this kind of magic with color and line- yet these are real objects and places- you've given them a touch of fairy dust somehow.

President Donald Trump's proposed fiscal year 2018 budget calls for repealing the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act, which Louisiana officials have counted on to provide up to $140 million a year for coastal restoration and hurricane protection projects included in the coastal master plan.
According to summary tables provided to reporters by the White House Office of Management and Budget during an embargoed news conference on Monday, the Trump administration expects the repeal to save $272 million in 2018 by rescinding the sharing of about 35 percent of Gulf offshore revenue with Louisiana and other Gulf states. The money lost to Gulf states would total $3.56 billion through fiscal year 2027, according to the summary tables.
The repeal of GOMESA was not mentioned in a six-page executive summary released at the same time as the summary tables, and was not mentioned by OMB Director Mick Mulvaney in the news conference, according to a transcript of the news conference.
President Barack Obama proposed cutting GOMESA funding in 2015, but his effort was turned back by Congress.
Cutting the revenue sharing program would devastate the state's restoration and protection plans, state officials said early Tuesday.
"President Trump's budget proposal to eliminate GOMESA revenues would essentially end the coastal program as we know it," said Johnny Bradberry, Gov. John Bel Edwards' coastal adviser and chairman of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. "GOMESA is the coastal program's only source of recurring revenue from the federal government and it's a revenue stream we have largely planned our efforts around. Eliminating GOMESA would have wide ranging impacts in our ability to restore our coast and protect our coastal communities."
The revenue sharing legislation was originally sponsored by former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who hammered out a complex compromise with other Gulf State members of Congress to slowly ramp up the money coming to Louisiana and other states. Louisiana would have received a first large payment of about $140 million under the act in October 2018.
In Louisiana, the state's share of that money was required by a constitutional amendment to be placed in a trust fund for use only for coastal restoration and hurricane protection projects. Coastal parishes are expected to receive up to another $30 million in direct revenue-sharing payments, once the larger share of offshore money kicks in in late 2018.
The repeal proposal was immediately attacked by the America's WETLAND Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps support the state's coastal restoration efforts.
"The fight for a share of (outer continental shelf) revenues was long and, finally, real dollars through GOMESA would begin coming to the state next year. Louisiana's coast is disappearing at an alarming rate and if this budget stands, it will put one of America's most essential estuarine areas at even greater risk," foundation senior adviser Sidney Coffee said in a news release issued early Tuesday morning. "Losing this important source of funding would be devastating to Louisiana's efforts to salvage the very coastline that benefits the entire country."
Officials with the administration of Gov. John Bel Edwards were not immediately available for comment.
However, Edwards has been urging the Trump administration to increase federal support for restoration projects. On April 18, Edwards declared a coastal state of emergency, sending a copy of the declaration to the White House. The state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority has been working on a white paper for the Trump administration outlining the state's concerns about the slow pace of federal permitting for major coastal restoration and protection projects.
On May 16, a White House spokesman said the Trump administration would provide Louisiana and other states requesting that projects be designated high priorities under the president's proposed infrastructure funding program "with additional information as the interagency process moves forward."
"The White House, the Council on Environmental Quality, the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council, the National Economic Council, the Office of Management and Budget, and various additional federal agencies continue to work on the administration's infrastructure initiative," the White House spokesman said then.
The loss of GOMESA funding also has the potential of threatening the state's ability to repay the Army Corps of Engineers the state's share of the cost of rebuilding the New Orleans area levee system in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The state will have to begin repaying as much as $100 million a year for its share of the levee costs as early as 2018, as efforts to get Congress to forgive the repayments have so far been unsuccessful.
While the Edwards administration has not said that the GOMESA money would be used to repay that debt, the alternative would be for the state to pay for it out of its annual capital outlay budget. The Edwards administration has proposed a fiscal year outlay budget of $1.3 billion, which does not include money for the first levee payment.

Filipino Country Cooking
Filipinos are nothing short of astounding at utilizing local resources to meet their daily needs. Shelter, clothing and food translate to nipa hut (palm tree) houses built with lumber from fallen trees, garments woven with textiles produced by local craftsmen, breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared using ingredients local to each community. It's an idyllic, ideal description of what life in the Philippine countryside portrays, reported through essays in newspapers and magazines, and told through stories from people who recall what their hometown, or their parents' hometown, was like.
I think about why these stories have taken such a hold on me, someone who spent the first 19 years of her life living in the cloisters of Manila. I think about why, amongst everyone I grew up with as a middle-class kid who dreamt like many others of travelling, I envied people from Europe and North America for having a passport that could take them anywhere they wished. I imagined whisking off to ancient walled cities with towering Grecian architecture and sitting in a piazza in northern Italy, sipping a robust espresso, pages open to a favourite book.
I never really dreamed about visiting other places in the Philippines, my home country - and I feel strongly about wanting to change that. I long to travel the Philippine islands and share my enthusiasm with what I learn about - products and foods I come across that reflect an intense understanding of regionalism, and with the people and communities I look forward to meeting, more than anything.
Last week, my shipment of books from Anvil Publishing arrived (they are fantastic with international orders!). I was ecstatic at finally getting my hands on a book called "Country Cooking: Philippine Regional Cuisines" by Michaela Fenix, noted food writer and journalist. The book is a collection of essays from her weekly column with the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
In the span of 62 pages, I have travelled to Aklan, Angono, Baler, Bataan, Batanes, Batangas, Bicol, Binondo, Bohol, Bulacan, Cagayan de Oro and Cagayan Valley - learning about the culinary specialities of each region, a little bit about the history of each town, living through Fenix's words to plop myself right in the middle of a lechon-fueled fiesta, or by the sea netting crabs with rich talangka (crab fat) that melds beautifully with coconut cream - think of deep, intensely orange roe melting right into a milky white sauce spiked with chilies and shallots, redolent of floral notes from the coconut's first press.
It makes me shiver just thinking about it. Somehow, these foods will make their way from a printed page into my mouth, and back out onto a screen to convince at least five other people that embracing your Filipino-ness a little more can start with appreciating the diversity of regional Philippine cuisine.

City people moving to the countryside — or just visiting — should be aware of the risks. One of the more obvious involves fur coats and jackets. Leave them behind. Or sell them. Drunken hunters — and some of them do like a drink — cannot tell the difference between you in a fur coat and a weasel. Fake fur won't save you either — if it is any good.
Some of the city people wandering about in the countryside are a risk to themselves. The countryside is a dangerous place. It is not as dangerous as the wilderness — as anyone who has seen Deliverance or that film about Anthony Hopkins being chased for days by a bear knows — but it is dangerous nonetheless.
Bears do venture into the countryside and sometimes even into town for a bit of sly garbage-dipping. If you come across a bear going through your trash cans or your kitchen cupboards, remember that Anthony Hopkins film. The same applies to wolves and pretty much anything with teeth, big or small.
A friend who moved to the countryside from Paris described the countryside as a place where you are bored during the day and scared at night and the wilderness as a place where you are scared all the time — or should be. I am scared even on the sunniest of days as I ride my motorbike through the French countryside with its silent, shuttered villages and farms.
Anything could be going on behind those shutters — and probably is. When stopping for fuel, I choose gas stations in open country with no surrounding bushes or woods in which dangerous humans or animals might be hiding. It is a personal security policy that has kept me alive so far. You can never be too careful.
Nowhere is safe. Take the seaside for example. Not the ocean — which is probably more dangerous than the wilderness — but the seaside. Like the countryside, it looks nice in those postcards you used to send home before smartphones and the Internet, with all those beaches and cliffs.
You can be blown off cliffs and you can drown in three inches or less of surf in the time it takes bystanders to post videos of your death on Instagram. Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster looked fabulous frolicking in the sand and waves but have you ever tried it? Think about rubbing yourself down with sandpaper and smearing salt on the abrasions afterwards.
It's like frolicking in barns and haystacks. This looks great in films but it's another illusion peddled by filmmakers. Of course, a lot of barns have been turned into guesthouses or indoor swimming pools by incomers from the city. In Europe, many serve as garages for the fleets of luxury cars farmers buy with the government bribes they receive for not farming the land.
There has also been a decline in haystacks, removing one more source of potential danger facing city people brainwashed by the film industry into thinking of sex every time they see a haystack. Such folk really shouldn't be allowed to wander around the countryside unaccompanied.
Another thing about the countryside is the need to drive very fast to stay alive. Country roads are dangerous for all sorts of reasons so the less time you spend on them, the safer you are. Moving between Point A and Point B at 80 mph instead of 30 mph reduces the time you spend on the road, in turn reducing your exposure to danger. Unless you hit something.
You can reduce the risk of this. Watching the road ahead is a good start. City people driving about tend to watch the scenery. Or their smartphones as they text friends to find out what's going on in town. And then there are your friends careering from side to side all over the road as they poke at their GPS in blind panic because there is no web coverage.
Hitting animals and people wandering about in the road is an ever-present risk but that's life for you. Worrying too much about it is a bit like worrying about being hit by lighting. Or meteorites. When your number — and theirs — comes up in the great lottery of life and death, you're a goner and your road speed has nothing to do with it.
Nonetheless, those warning signs showing leaping deer are there for a reason. Slow down. And then slow down some more. A large animal through the windscreen of a car at 80 mph can end up badly for the occupants. Entire families have met their earthly end crashing into cattle, wild boar, horses and, in Canada, moose. And deer.
Deer are very shy so if deer wander into the road ahead and start fucking with you, the chances are they're as drunk as the hunters hiding in the foliage waiting to kill you if you're dressed in fur. Deer graze. Like cattle. And horses. They are also partial to a bit of fallen fruit. Unlike bears, deer cannot climb trees.
The already over-ripened fruit ferments inside them. Result? Drunken deer. I had a mob of them dancing around my motorcycle in a country lane one night. It's probably the lights that attract them. There are no disco balls in the woods.
Bears are boozers too. Fact. This is probably the origin of the children's song The Teddy Bears' Picnic although it is really not for children. If a bear lurches into your path and you can't avoid him, accelerate. Don't leave him alive. Bears dislike being hit by cars. Remember that Anthony Hopkins film. He can chase you for days and at some point, you'll run out of fuel.
When sheep block roads, on the other hand, nobody runs them over. Country people get past them because they know how to get along with animals whereas city people — despite belonging to animal rights societies and owning hamsters and iguanas — haven't a clue when they meet country animals.
City people will sit in their cars watching the sheep watching them with that passive-aggressive expression so typical of sheep. Here is a tip: just watch the fuckers freak out and run when you snarl the words "mint sauce" at them. Which proves that they are not stupid and can read Sunday lunch recipes. Hissing "Kebab" at them works well too.
Don't try this with bulls. Bulls can be as mean as bears although they can't climb trees, dig or swim very well. But when a bull runs after you, it's as scary as being chased by a bear. Goats are another matter. They just look at you with those big brown eyes. They get up close. They nuzzle you. Their breath smells so fresh. And before you know it, you are goat-struck.
Country people laugh at city people for falling in love with animals but I've known lonely farmers who've fallen for goats. With cattle and ducks, it's just for the sex. That's why they never want your phone number. But with goats, it's usually love. And goats don't tell. They are more discreet than cows, ducks and sheep.
Anyone who gets it on with a sheep needs serious analysis. Sheep are useful for knitwear and Sunday roasts but that is all. You cannot have meaningful relationships with sheep because they are as emotionally detached as cats. And their breath is as bad as that of the average sea lion. There is something wrong with sheep.
Country cats are not like city cats. A city cat will scratch you if you upset him but if a country cat takes a swing at you, you might get Cat-Scratch Fever. My wife caught it from a kitten a friend of hers adopted and brought home to Gotham City from the countryside. There again, she tried to cuddle it. Cuddling country cats is a seriously bad idea.
The same applies to country dogs. A city dog will put up with being French-kissed and cuddled by his owner's friends because his owner is the one with the dog food can-opener but try that anthropomorphism hanky-panky on with a country dog and he'll eat your face. Literally.
City people often moan about cocks. They relocate to the countryside, get woken up by the local farmer's cock before sunrise and call the police or the mayor to complain and that's when cold hard reality washes over them. Suddenly all these country people don't seem so quaint anymore because they have their ways and their rights and they defend them when necessary.
This kind of thing is why country people can be a bit standoffish with city people, even those progressive city people with beards and earnest eyes who produce their own wooden clogs and knitted underpants and bore anyone who stands still long enough about protecting traditional ways. And who form noise-abatement collectives to restore peace and quiet.
They don't understand, of course, that peace and quiet in the countryside usually means terminal economic depression or the displacement of the natives by urban colonists whose arrival inflates local property prices beyond local means. Country people should have had the foresight to kill and eat more city people when they first started arriving. Probably.
Like the city, there are a lot of insects in the countryside. But country insects are not like city insects. Swat a wasp in your city apartment with a rolled-up copy of Country Life and it's game over for Stripey. Try that in the countryside and you'll have thousands of his mates on your case. Same with bees, although anyone who swats a bee probably needs a fatal stinging.
Country spiders may be smaller than the mutants in the wilderness but some of them can fuck you right up if you take liberties with them. City people who won't pick up boxes in the attic in case there are spiders hiding under them can be very rash in the countryside. They will, for example, ignore the thick gloves on the woodpile when fetching logs for the stove.
Like many things in the countryside, the gloves are there for a reason. They are not part of the decor. As well as spiders, snakes like woodpiles too. Fortunately, country hospitals and clinics are staffed by medical staff experienced in dealing with urban fools of every conceivable variety but it is still a bore driving whining houseguests to hospital.
This is another problem few city people moving to the countryside anticipate: visits from friends and people they never thought of as friends before they bought a house in the countryside. The effect on the surrounding area of clueless city people getting into all kinds of trouble is multiplied and can be prejudicial to your relationship with your new neighbors.
That said, getting close to your neighbors in the countryside is not necessarily a good plan. Why do you think country people tend to live in houses a mile or more from other houses? Except in the villages, where they keep the shutters closed night and day. Think about that before you drive around ringing doorbells to introduce yourselves.
Even if you are managing to make the adjustment in your new environment, guests from the city can be a serious liability. Even the ones you like. It is annoying when they hurt themselves or worse. In the city, a dead guest is not an insurmountable problem: you can heave him or her over the garden wall or prop him up against the neighbor's front door before calling the cops.
For all sorts of reasons, it is not as simple in the countryside. This is where pigs can be useful. They are omnivorous, which is worth bearing in mind if you have guests or neighbors who need to disappear. But as anyone who has read Animal Farm can tell you, they are not all like Babe from Pig in the City. They are intelligent but, sad to say, many of them are indeed fascists.
Another danger on country roads are farmers' tractors and hay carts. Stuck behind for hour after hour, people have died in road traffic accidents at even quite low speeds after falling asleep at the wheel or becoming over-excited when the hay provoked erotic imaginings. This affects city people more than country people, who are not in as much of a hurry as city people.
Tractors can be just as dangerous when stationary. When I was a child in Ireland, my cousin had a motorcycle on which he visited widows in the countryside. He was a very fast rider at the best of times. And at the worst of times, like the occasion we met a tractor blocking the road after emerging from a field.
We were on our way to visit our great-aunt's horse farm to the south-west of Dublin. It was more a manor house than a farm but she'd bought a couple of stallions from the tinkers and advertised them as studs. Some of the local country people warned her they were as virile as empty sausage skins but being an educated city lady, she knew best.
She had accessorized the property with a few farmyard animals and a lion she'd bought from some other tinkers who told her it was a dog. The local police shot the lion after it grew a mane and started eating cattle. Anyway, there we were, going like the clappers as we descended into the midlands from the Wicklow Mountains when we encountered the tractor.
I don't know how my cousin managed to get us behind the tractor and through the gateway into the field but he did. As we lay in the ploughed field looking at the clouds chasing each other across the sky, the farmer appeared with two cross-eyed boys at his side: "Tis a good thing that gate was open or you'd have been killed, the speed you were going!"
It was logic but not logic as we knew it. City people have had uncomplicated logic bred out of them. Responding to orders barked in Irish, the two cross-eyed boys hauled the motorcycle out of the muddy furrows and back into the road, ready for us to continue on our way. Country people can be very kind to strangers in need of help — or even those beyond help.
Mind you, given Ireland's history of cannibalism — the main reason the Romans never invaded — who knows what they might have done had we been dead. There again, city people should be wary of films portraying country people as cross-eyed cannibalistic inbreeds. The city has more than its share of such people too although some of them are very nice all the same.
The countryside can also have harmful mental effects on city people. There was a boy on our street in Dublin who was sent to the country whilst his parents were in prison. Whilst there, he found out where milk really came from. He was never the same again. He started throwing stones at the milkman and developed so many nervous ticks that we called him Twitch.
Such experiences aside, we city boys didn't have much use for the countryside anyway. We had the seaside, Dublin being on the sea. We could paddle all year round on the northern end of Sandymount Strand in the warm water flowing from the main city waste outlet. It was like our own personal Costa Brava.
I still don't have much use for the countryside in anything larger than small doses but I respect the locals for having what it takes to live there and I never forget that it is their place, not mine. It will always be their place, even after I do what all urban artistic media types do and move there to be closer to nature or, more truthfully, because my wife is a country girl born and bred.
You can take country people out of the country but you can't take the country out of them. And you can take city people out of the city but you'll never take the city out of them. As long you don't forget that simple fact of nature, you might have a reasonable chance of surviving the lifestyle adjustment you are making for whatever reasons you have for making it.

Ink Review: Robert Oster Ryde Green/
Today's ink is Ryde Green by Robert Oster. Summer calls for bright fun greens, and this ink certainly delivers. Ryde is a suburb of Sydney, Australia (I have no idea if this ink was named after Ryde, Australia, but that's my guess). I purchased my bottle of ink from Pen Chalet. The bottle is 50 ml of ink.
The color...
Ryde Green is a bright lime green. There is shading, but no sheen.
In heavy swabs, Ryde Green looks almost black. There is some shading.
I don't know why, but ink drops always make me happy. I love the shading Ryde Green has.
Feathering: Ryde Green had no feathering.
Bleeding: Ryde Green only bled a little bit on the Tomoe River swab.
Ghosting: Ryde Green had low ghosting on Rhodia, and medium on the other three papers.
Shading: Ryde Green had low shading on all of the papers, and no sheen.
Here are three Robert Oster inks: Ryde Green, Green Lime, and Light Green. They almost look like the same color, just different levels of saturation-starting with Ryde Green, then Green Lime is one shade lighter, and Light Green is one shade lighter than that. (When I get bottles of Lime Green and Light Green I will do a review of them)
Left to right: Akkerman #28 Hofkwartier Green, Diamine Kelly Green, and Diamine Meadow. All three of these are a bit more yellow and darker than Ryde Green.
Longer writing...
Ryde Green kept up really well with the flex nib. Some inks that run a bit dryer than average have a hard time keeping up with the heavy ink needs of a flex nib, but Ryde Green did really well.
Overall, I really liked this ink. It kept up well with the flex nib and had some good shading.
