Donald Trump & The Babbler in the Void

How An Occult Metaphor Can Help Us Understand this Decaying Landscape

DURING THIS STRANGE and difficult time, I have, as a spirit worker, attempted to draw connections between the past, present, and future, connections which could shed light on how things got this way. In the process I came across the following reflections. I would like to share with you my thoughts on how occult forces can emerge in the human psyche , and how that can have political implications.

There is something eerily familiar about Donald Trump. When I watch him I feel a lot of things…fear, rage, sadness, anger….and something like déja vu.

How could he seem familiar?

I have never met him, and though I have known countless assholes in my life, there is something unique about Trump when it comes to vileness. But what is this elusive quality? There are countless blogs and rants about this vileness, and all are justified, but I feel we need to look deeper, and ask hard questions about where this vileness comes from.

The problem is that everyone already seems to know how vile Donald Trump is, even his supporters, and yet none of that stops him. He has made every error, every mistake. He has had every embarrassment, every misstep. He has every flaw a politician could have. Huge parts of the Republican Party hate him. With all this, how does this man keep going forward like an armored car?

That brings me back to why he is so familiar.

I am a 30 year old transgender Occultist who was initiated by spirits 9 years ago. My path involves Scandinavian magick, Spirit Work, Ordeal, and my devotion to the Thelemic goddess Babalon. As a result of how these currents have shaped me, apocalypse–and the behaviors its various babbling illusionists–has become a lifelong study. And throughout that journey I have encountered another being like Trump.

A creature that is fragile yet indestructible: harmless yet containing the worst venom that exists, narcissistic and yet containing no singular self. A creature that says the most offensive things, and yet makes himself seem authentic. Who makes every mistake and yet seems perfect, who disregards all wisdom and knowledge and yet seems to have some strange elusive genius. A brutal method to the madness, a terrifying mesmerizing dance of order and chaos….but with the positive parts of order and chaos neutralized, leaving only a colorless entropy that atrophies and decays everything it touches. A being that you could argue with for hours using flawless debate skills only to find you have accomplished nothing because the whole debate was a distraction.

The dweller in the abyss, Choronzon.

BUT PLEASE LET me be clear, this is not a conspiracy theory rant. This is not about the illuminati or how Trump deliberately invokes this being in secret. I do not think he is part of some vast plot involving the antichrist, or that he is a distant relative of (name of random Occultist), blah blah. Such thinking is problematic and is often based on seeing connections where none actually exist. (Douglas Rushkoff called this “fractalnoia” )

I instead prefer adopting Terrance Mckenna’s attitude: no one is in control. But if we stop there, we may be missing the point.

babblerThe biggest missing piece in this dizzying hailstorm of false flags, fake news, and misleading theories is an actual understanding of chaos itself. Chaos is not an unfortunate accident caused by bad apples of Eris thrown into congress, it is a force of nature, like any element. It is the margin of error lying slyly in the periphery of every well-made plan. Chaos is the mad tumbling out of every factor we can’t calculate. Nevertheless, there are steps a magician, or an activist, could take to revere, respect, and dance with this force. Unfortunately, many activists and magicians do not revere, respect, or dance with this force, and instead take it for granted, underestimate its power, and pretend to have mastered it.

It is exactly this kind of hubris that makes one vulnerable to infection by creatures like Choronzon.

I hope you will forgive me a personal gnosis or two, and trust that I speak from real experience, when I say the following: Choronzon is not a being that needs to be summoned in order to manifest. If we look for him only in ritual actions and ancient tomes, we will completely miss the dark carnival of his other manifestations.

He can be seen in mania, crystal meth comedowns, schizophrenic states, hallucinogenic panics, and, yes, he can very much be seen in the empty-headed blathering which fills CNN day in and day out. You can see him in monkey dust and emergency rooms, in television commercials and hear him in stupid radio jingles. To borrow some phrasing from a chaos magician I have always deeply admired…Choronzon is the ego eating out its own brains, interrogating itself endlessly in an internal monologue with no end.

Choronzon is a self-obsessed entropy which seeks to form a perfect circuit, and a perfect prison. Choronzon is a demon, yes, but dealing with him forces one to throw out the entire playbook of classic demonology, because he’s not about seals, or summoning, or glyphs, or rituals, or reductionist psychology. You may, after an entire day of preparatory rituals, finally decide to confront him, only to realize he has been watching you the entire time. It is my deep conviction that our very culture is infected with this force, and that that is what makes it monoculture.

So the question of the hour is, what makes my personal gnosis so special? What proves that I am not just another ‘guru’ cluttering up the already troubled landscape of occultism with unproved theories? Well, true to my form as a spirit worker, I can only answer this challenge with a story.

I had a psychotic break in my early 20s, due to a number of issues. Some of these were ritual cult abuse, hormone problems, initiators with hidden agendas, a recently discovered patrilineal demon, extreme stress, and high priestess disease.

In other words, I was unstable to begin with, thought I would explore occultism, and fell down a rabbit hole. But rather than my breakdown being the logical sum of a series of quantitative ‘bad things’, it was more like a discordant orchestra under a hailstorm. The worst thing was not the discordant noise, but the fact that something was conducting it, and how relentless and persistent the conductor was. One way of framing this is that it was the beginning of my walk onto the madness road of northern tradition shamanism. That is very true, though putting it that way, ironically, makes it sound like a heroic epic quest that made some sort of linear sense…. A sort of Oddessey.

Yes and no.

Where the conductor took me, a story would have been a luxury. Emotions, actions, meaning, boundaries, form, dreams, icons, symbols, all these things became distant luxuries in the conductor’s meaningless discordant world. During much of the 8 year ordeal that followed, politics was little more than an ambient noise. My endless desire for healing, for answers, consumed me utterly. It was only through my experiences with Madre Ayahuasca in 2011, and through the enormous generosity and wisdom of her healers, that I exist at all.

Throughout the integration of this story, I have had no choice but to build an intricate map of the Dweller in the Abyss, written in the scar tissue of my stitched-together psychic body. Written in diaries of runes, collages of mental hospital paperwork, and countless cathartic therapy sessions. Through this, I have concluded that, though Choronzon is real in every possible sense, he is also an essential component of the human psyche, and an unavoidable challenger to anyone who seeks enlightenment. I will not insult this beautiful monster with reductionist western psychology and its “archetypes,” nor will I treat him as something which sits neatly contained in some Occult ritual instructions. He is in us all, and he is out there too.

CHORONZON is a temporary personification of the raving forces that occupy the abyss. They are impossible to define because their behaviors almost completely depend on the content of the magicians mind. And we cannot remove Da’ath from ourselves anymore than we can live without throats. If a zen master encounters Choronzon, he will see Maya, the lord of illusion, but is likely to remain calm. If a meth addict sees Choronzon, he will see the most horrifying devil imagineable.

In this regard it’s important to not see Choronzon as essentially evil, because such a label would imply attachment to a static identity and thus a kind of predictable order. That being said, the vast number of experiences with him, in spite of their variation, have one common thread: he challenges. He tests. He demands payment for entrance to his realm and he demands tolls for the crossing of his bridges. And by challenging, he initiates and offers a path to enlightenment. But keep in mind, this path is the most brutal, painful and difficult way to become enlightened.

Mocking this being would not harm it, as it had no ego to defend. But as long as I had an ego it could mock me. It was not egoless, because all its poisons pushed me away from enlightenment. I could easily prove it wrong, in fact proving it wrong was the easiest thing to do, and yet every time I proved it wrong it changed the subject, snuck around and mixed up the whole paradigm. This always gave me a sense that no matter how good my argument was, I would realize halfway through that it didn’t matter.  Then I realized that following its train of thought was missing the point: it wasn’t about whether it was right or wrong, it was about how I chose to interact with its babbling. Eventually I realized that all its babbling was a distraction and a device to exploit my attachments, anxieties, and fears.

babblerAbove all, this being’s strongest tendency was towards extreme, polarizing chaos. But all that chaos concealed a group of core tendencies which remained constant and strangely orderly. Those core tendencies served the purpose of driving my psyche to extremes: I would either be utterly destroyed or I would gain a power greater than I ever imagined. In Choronzon’s realm they could make anything possible, except enlightenment, healing, or freedom, because Choronzon is incapable of imagining anything outside of themselves. This is why detachment, unconditional love, and surrender always defeat them. They are not just chaos, they are entropy and negative disorder, as opposed to positive disorder which I define as healthy rebellion and creative inspiration. None of the chaos of Choronzon nourishes the creative impulse, it destroys it ( unless you win the jackpot of passing through the abyss.)

When I went from mental health peer support to Thelemic study, I found writings on Choronzon and felt chilled to the bone. Words like decay, entropy, babbling, madness, jumped out at me. I devoured every bit of info I could find and everything resonated. Its modus operandi in literature was an exact match to what I thought had been my personal schizoid tormentor.

The crucial point was that the only way to beat this thing was to focus on what was real, true, sacred, and good in yourself while knowing that whatever Ch said was just a distraction . Ch would say vile things, hoping the mage would take them personally, or engage in passionate argument, or otherwise stray from the path. eventually Ch would, like a virus, run its course, run out of energy, and disappear.

It has been said that when there is no way out, there is often a way through. Surrender was my way through. I took the approach that when choronzon started saying vile things, I would focus on what was sacred and good about myself while holding space for the vileness to just Be. I loved Choronzon unconditionally as my sacred inner monster. This healed me.

HOW THIS RELATES to Trump is tricky. I dont want to take the most painful divisive issue of the decade and apply some generic new age wisdom to it. Admittedly, there are huge ways these beings are different. The only way to overcome Choronzon is to hold space for his vileness to run its course while holding on to everything true and sacred within oneself. This is a kind of surrender. In the case of Trump, such a strategy would seem irrelevant and pointlessly sentimental. However, I dont think this is because of a lack of connection between the two. I think it’s because the Occult world and Matter based world have very different rules.

If Choronzon somehow incarnated in a physical body, the practice of surrender would have to be re-evaluated and physical self defense would be a vital concern. That being said…there are many martial arts which take spiritual disciplines such as surrender and give them kinetic form. Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, for example, often counsels yielding to the opponent’s momentum in order to throw them off balance, almost as if they are harming themselves. The form taught to me focused on conflict resolution, de-escalation, and using an opponent’s aggression against them. Japanese jiu-jitsu uses leverage, physics, and a strong understanding of human anatomy to neutralize an opponent’s rage. All of this is done without sacrificing any component of effective self defense.

It is a complex issue. We should be angry, should engage in argument, should fight Trump with everything we have. On the other hand, Trump rallies are like an abyss…and like Choronzon, he stands as a temporary personification of its raving forces. It is thus important to keep in mind that defeating Trump would not slay the monster, as it is much larger than him. In order to kill the hydra we must go for its heart. We must understand on a deep level who and what he is and where his power is coming from. When he speaks he is legion, and that legion is an ocean of ignorance, desperation, reaction, and fear. It has all of the markers of a cult…but its not a conspiracy. its far more simple, and far more awful.

bblleChoronzon gives shape and form to the ugliest, most poisonous side of the human psyche. Choronzon babbles endlessly but never says anything, values nothing but is always wealthy, commits atrocities and perversions but makes himself appear traditional and honest. The ultimate shapeshifter, a paradox. Those infected by him rapidly lose sight of what is real, truth begins to seem relative and all that is left is helplessness, desperation, and empty reaction.

This is not an argument for pacifism. Trump is racist scum and if he died tomorrow the world would be a better place. That being said…the body of humanity is poisoned and Trump is just the most obvious symbol of that sickness…just as Choronzon is just a name in a book describing an ocean of monsters whispering in the dark.

I theorize that Trump and Choronzon are similar and different because they both are central characters in two different abysses. Terrance Mckenna believed that there were four abysses within a fifth. The four are:

  • the biological abyss, represented by death
  • The historical abyss, represented by the apocalypse and ‘end of history’
  • the psychological abyss, represented by visionary experience
  • the physical abyss of outer space.
  • The above four are within a fifth abyss, which Mckenna described as “unspeakable.”

In other words, Trump is a kind of Choronzon of the historical abyss, and whereas surrender is an extraordinarily effective technique in dealing with the psychological abyss, the historical abyss requires a different approach. At this stage though, it is very hard to be sure what that approach would be. Every act of violence against racism is always necessary and always sacred.

But I would also say that that sacred battle could be made stronger by way of a deeper understanding of what this monster is and how it can be destroyed on a deeper level.

Choronzon and Trump, these “conductors of discord” …rule over realms with very different rules, thus a weapon used against one may not work against the other. But there is a link between them and understanding that link may, perhaps, shed some light on how we are to defeat Trump.

Just as a individual soul is in crisis when crossing the psychological abyss while being tortured by Choronzon, this country’s soul is in crisis trying to come to terms with what has been done and what must be done. Trump appears as a Choronzonic figure because in a perverse way he has mastered the divisive, polarizing language of the historical abyss. (Thus it is no accident that he is often seen as a despotic figure). I theorize that this is why those politicians who debate him based on an outdated playbook end up frustrated and confused.

We must recognize that we are not dealing with a politician. We are dealing with a warlord, and we are at war. The historical abyss is also a very hard thing to accept, and scapegoating and denial are much easier routes for the morally irresponsible. Those who are in denial want to stay in denial and like Choronzon block the country’s (in this case, metaphorically, the magician or fool’s) journey toward healing, accountability and reconciliation. America’s institutions and privileged groups have committed horrible crimes and are slowly collectively realizing they must show accountability in order to heal.

Like death, the first stage is denial, and many want to stay there. My suspicion, however, is that most of that group are of the older generation who are deeply set in their ways. Choronzon’s job is always that of blocking enlightenment and healing…so that the soul can be driven back in terror. As a Lord in the historical abyss, Trump seems to be taking the same role.

Thus it becomes clear where America’s soul finds itself: on a perilous rickety bridge over a vast abyss. An abyss filled with fracked gas, racist murdering cops, ecological collapse, and economic devastation. Can this country find its way to the other side, or are we doomed to fall into the void where Choronzon, or Trump, will rule?

I have never had much of a sense of where I belong in this landscape, but I know that I cannot allow that to happen anymore than Icould allow the abyss to destroy me for good so many years ago. Something had to change, and it did.

6 thoughts on “Donald Trump & The Babbler in the Void

  1. Just watched the horrors of Trump’s inauguration speech… thanks for sharing this alternative perspective. I think we all need to find our own ways of understanding the political forces governing the world outside of their own narratives and on a deeper level and this is an interesting example.

  2. Hi Irkalla!

    Great article! The ‘Choronzon’ has much in common with whom other ancient wisdom traditions refer to as ‘Wetiko’ and that makes the content of this article digestible to me, as far as I am aware ofcourse.

    One ‘small detail’ in it remains unclear to me however;

    You state that “Every act of violence against racism is always necessary and always sacred.” Is this your personal opinion, is it coming from the perspective of ‘The Historical Abyss’, or maybe anything else?

    I’m asking this because to me (and possibly to others as well) ‘violence’ and ‘racism’, without further specification towards the context, are mere agreed upon consensus values free to any subjective interpretation..

    To me personally, if I may be so ‘generous’, the rest of the article is as solid as it can get! Really cool stuff!

  3. Reblogged this on Dances with Tricksters and commented:

    This is brilliant! Choronzon is just one of the many names for Samael, which is one of the many names for the Dweller in the Abyss. I have made peace with my inner monster, but the struggle is always there, from psychotic breaks to mental wards to nightmares and shadow work. But in the end, light prevails, the void is illuminated, and fascist babblers like Samael and Trump are defeated by the long but moral arc of justice.

Vintage Snow Ski Collection

In 2017, Joy and I bought a new “to us” home. Needless to say the home has required a ton of work and its been non stop over the last 2 years.

We chose the house for many reasons (location, size, and school district) yet one that has surfaced to make living easy was bathroom count. The home has 4 bathrooms and one of which is a 3/4 bath right across from the garage and has its own exterior door – the man bath as its called. That bathroom has come in handy while fixing the back yard and cleaning up before going in the house.

So, I was given the charge of choosing decorations for that bath and I’m going with a Ski Cabin theme. So far here are my pickens: skis, 50s era German made boots, vintage ski wax & poles – goggles not pictured. Next on the list is to make a couple signs like “Toby’s Ski Rental” and one with the different types of runs (green circle, blue square, diamond, double diamond) to have up.

I am really digging this interior design stuff and Joy says the theme could flow into the TV room. Wish me luck with that!

"Brothaz By Choice"

BROTHAZ BY CHOICE is a quartet of talented young men with a unique singing style ranging from a capella to a classy version of hip-hop. The group is made up of two biological brothers, Reggie “LaCrue” Moore and Jerry  Moore, and two close friends, Reggie  Williams and Melvin  Pryor. Their close working relationship as writers, arrangers and performers gives credence to the name “Brothaz By Choice.”

BBC has performed to rave reviews in their native Virginia. They  have been called upon to perform at groundbreaking ceremonies, charitable fundraisers and to perform the national anthem at the state professional baseball games.  The group is well known in the region’s nightclubs, having performed up and down the east coast, and  featured on local and national television.

BBC has worked with many notable music business legends. They performed as the opening act for the Delfonics, and have worked with producers Chris Jasper, formerly of the Isley Brothers and Isley-Jasper-Isley; Jim Salamone, producer of Levert; and Kenny Gamble of Philly International.

BBC’s first CD release entitled  Brotha 2 Brotha was produced by Chris Jasper for his Gold City Records label.  Highlights on the CD include “Daddy”…a heartfelt tribute by brothers Reggie and Jerry, which they wrote for their father upon his passing during the recording of this project; “And I Love Her”…an updated version of the popular Beatles tune featuring Chris Jasper; and  “Caravan of Love”…a remake of the Isley-Jasper-Isley classic.

"Out Front"

We can no longer sit back while people are dying and losing their souls.  Its time to put the Lord’s Word Out Front!

In the 1990s, the music industry invented a new category for gospel music called contemporary gospel.  This new style of spiritual music is being played on the radio, in nightclubs, and on boom boxes.  This message of salvation is getting across to a whole new market that was never before reached.  Such artists as Chris Jasper, the Winans, Take 6, Mary Mary, Yolanda Adams and Commission have paved the way for message filled music to be heard by the general public.  Out Front continues in this legacy of salvation.

Out Front is a contemporary gospel group based in Atlanta, Georgia.  Out Front is a self-contained trio of young man who write, produce, program, mix and perform their own music.  The three musical souls that comprise Out Front are Gaither Williams Jr., Don Manor Jr. and Keith Nixon.  The message of God’s Word–salvation, love and peace–is what ultimately brought these three together.

Gaither Williams Jr. is originally from East St. Louis, IL.  He is the lead vocalist, lyricist and musician for Out Front.  “I used to sing and write about things which are temporary.  Now I prefer to write about things that are eternal.”  Gaither’s eternal writing style has brought him honor and awards from such institutions as The Academy of the Performing Arts and the Midwest Music Awards.  His production skills and writing ability earned him praise from one of the hottest production duos in America–Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis–who complimented Gaither by signing an artist he produced to their Perspective label.  Gaither has also performed extensively with many distinguished artists, including Foreigner, David Peaston and The Rance Allen Singers.

Don Manor Jr. is originally from Cincinnati, OH.  Don is the guitarist, bassist and a vocalist for Out Front.  Putting spiritual music “out front” is a priority for Don.  “I don’t care about categories that people may put us in.  I’m just concerned with putting the Lord’s Word out front.”  Don’s talent has led to performances with many notable artists, including Midnight Starr.

Keith Nixon–considered a master musician and accomplished midi programmer–shares the group’s concern with getting God’s Word out to the youth.  “I’m concerned that the youth should not be ashamed to praise the Lord and listen to our music.” Keith has successfully worked with such musical greats as James Cleveland and The Light of the World Mass Choir.

Out Front’s music is a blend of R&B, Jazz and Gospel.  This album attempts to break down the barriers between the secular and gospel markets in hopes of reaching the young and old, rich and poor, without compromising God’s Word.  Ranging from their up-tempo “He’s That Kind of Friend” to the beautiful ballad “Angel,”  Out Front has a style that everyone will enjoy.

"Liz Hogue"

Liz Hogue was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Her jazzy R&B vocal style caught the ear of Chris Jasper and, in 1989, he signed Liz to his Gold City/CBS Associated label.

Chris produced Liz’s debut album, “Vicious & Fresh,” which debuted in 1990.

The single, “Dream Lover,” written by Chris Jasper (music) and Margie Jasper (lyrics) brought Liz critical acclaim with her dynamic vocals and smooth delivery.

Hockey Star Ovechkin May Be Worst Golfer Of All Time

@philippgrubauer31 @marcusjohansson90 #stick#siller #alzy#holts#nesser #longdrive

A video posted by Alexander Ovechkin (@aleksandrovechkinofficial) on

We’ve seen some pretty awful professional sports crossovers when it comes to golf, but Washington Captials superstar Alexander Ovechkin might have dethroned Charles Barkley for worst golfing professional athlete. Ovi is one of the most prolific goal scorers in NHL history, but the commonality that allows many ice hockey players to take immediately to golf has eluded the Russian.

Ovechkin and some of his other Capitals teammates headed out to a local municipal course earlier this week and put on this ground ball-striking display. It’s hard to believe this guy ever hit a hole-in-one

It wasn’t a complete hackfest, however. Caps forward Evgeny Kuznetsov seems to have found the pace on some pretty hairy greens.

Elevate your Game with Cool BC Golf Destinations

Hot summer golf calls for cool British Columbia golf destinations – whether at higher elevations, lower average temperatures, or something that stands out to make your next golf vacation that much more memorable. So which British Columbia golf destinations are topping the cool charts?

Fernie Golf & CC

BC’s Kootenay Rockies “Peak” Interest

It’s always a wise choice to head for the hills, so to speak when the heat is on. Higher elevation golf destinations offer cooler weather, fantastic views, and as an added bonus, further ball flight through the thinner atmosphere!

Tee it up higher in British Columbia’s Kootenay Rockies during the hot summer golf season, easily accessed via Calgary International Airport (YYC) or the Canadian Rockies International Airport (YXC) in Cranbrook. St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino provides a great base for a Kootenay Rockies golf vacation with fantastic views of Fisher Peak in the Canadian Rockies, then discover mountain highs at  Fernie Golf & Country Club (elevation: 1,011 meters or 3317 feet). From there it’s a fun golf road trip to a variety of mountain-hugging golf courses including Trickle Creek Golf Resort (1,249 meters or 4,099 feet at its highest point), Bootleg Gap Golf (932m or 3,057 feet), and Shadow Mountain Golf Course (863m or 2831 feet) to complete your elevated golf experience.

More Mountain Golf

Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club

A golf trip to Whistler should be on every golfer’s bucket list. Not only will you find four marquee golf courses from some of the world’s best designers (Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, to name a few) but also a variety of bucket list activities (think Peak-to-Peak Gondola between Blackcomb and Whistler, and ziplining), five star restaurants, and unique Scandinave Spa experiences to elevate your golf vacation!

Stay at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler – the International Golf Tour Operator’s North American Golf Resort of the Year, golf Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club (topping out at 792 meters or 2600 feet) and enjoy a winding layout through ancient Douglas fir forests – plus the opportunity to see some of Whistler’s most famous residents – the bears! From there you can cap off your experience with two other excellent golf courses – Nicklaus North Golf Course and Whistler Golf Club.

Bonus: Head 30 minutes north of Whistler to Pemberton, BC for something really unique at Big Sky Golf ClubFly with Blackcomb Helicopters from Big Sky to their “19th hole” high on spectacular Mt. Currie (2,591 m or 8500 ft)  for some tee practice (with biodegradable golf balls) before returning to the course to finish the round. Heli Golf – now that’s an elevated golf game!

Explore Whistler Golf

British Columbia from Sea-to-Sky

Turn your Whistler golf trip into a week-long cool adventure by heading south towards Vancouver on the Sea-to-Sky highway, where ocean breezes will keep you cool while your game is hot. Stop in Squamish for some lunch and an afternoon round at Squamish Valley Golf Club, or head further down Hwy 99 to Furry Creek Golf & Country Club for a spectacularly scenic round perched along the glacier-fed waters of Howe Sound.

Take your time to explore Vancouver at your leisure, as it is one cool city, with its happening summer concert series, trendy neighbourhoods and gastro experiences, including an elevated Breakfast with the Bears at Grouse Mountain. Be sure to add golf at University Golf Club in Vancouver – just a few minutes from Spanish Banks Beach or Jericho Beach, where you can watch the action in and along English Bay and admire the skyline. Nearby Mayfair Lakes in Richmond is also a prime choice for keeping cool, where if the multitude of lakes doesn’t do the job, the harbour at Steveston is 20 minutes away for your enjoyment complete with craft food, historic boats, and even the opportunity to embark on a whale-watching excursion.

Take a Sea-to-Sky Golf Vacation

Play on Island Time

Continue to ocean breeze on over to the Vancouver Island Golf Trail, stretching 250 km (150 mi) from Victoria in the south to Campbell River in the north. Anchoring Mile 0 of the Vancouver Island Golf Trail is the provincial capital of Victoria in all her famed Inner Harbour splendour. Add a little mountain to your ocean at Bear Mountain Resort Golf Course’s Mountain Course, offering a summit of 270 meters (886 feet) that provides panoramic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca as you take on the Nicklaus Design course that never fails to please.

Meander up the Trail to visit any (or all) of the thirteen golf courses contained thereon. On your way, you can take in cool summer pursuits including a day at the beach, visit a winery or two, or a marine wildlife & whale watching tour to get in even more ocean time. Probably the best pursuit for an “elevated” golf trip (of pure bragging rights anyway) is to add some fins to your skins – combining golf with a fishing excursion from one of Vancouver Island’s fishing operators.

Explore the Vancouver Island Golf Trail

Smithers Golf Club

British Columbia’s North is Calling

For an elevated golf trip of a different pace, check out the Northern BC Golf Corridor, where you’ll discover cooler temperatures, pristine scenery, and one of BC’s best-kept golf secrets. In between golf courses, find winding, serene roads that meander through plateaus and climb mountains, but pay attention as you may find deer, bear and moose wanting to play through! With ten northern BC golf courses to choose from, this is one BC golf region that is worth a golf road trip adventure.

After your round, wherever it may be, you’ll likely want to take a break, recharge, and enjoy some delicious culinary experiences – so check out a few Patio Pleasures at BC Golf Courses for recommendations.

A baking pan, bakery boxes and mixing bowls are essential bakery supplies the novice baker will find in a wholesale bakeware store.

Among the greatest impediments facing individuals who wanting to become better bakers is that they know they not have the right bakery supplies, together with a baking pan and bakery boxes.

Wholesale bakeware changes aren’t essential for individuals searching to start baking in serious, bur you should make certain a couple of necessary products take presctiption hands.

No list detailing bakery supplies must start without searching at bread. It’s probably the most fundamental human foods, yet for whatever reason individuals have shied from making their very own bread. Fortunately, technologies have made bread baking simpler than ever before.

Most locations that sell wholesale bakeware offer affordable breadmakers. Novice bakers will should also ensure they’ve moving pins, a set bread board and a minimum of one baking pan for that loaf.

Next, it is all about obtaining the right bakery supplies like flour, yeast, possibly assorted grains to personalize the loaf, along with a good way to obtain bakery boxes for turning the brand new loaves into gifts for buddies.

Once you have the bread making lower, you’re ready to start pizza. In the end, pizza is nothing more than scrumptious sauce and cheese on the top of the simple bread. Like breadmakers, most wholesale bakeware stores offer pizza gemstones and pizza peels.

If your novice baker could make their very own breads and pizzas, it will not be lengthy before they use dessert. Making the right cake or cookies can appear intimidating initially, but when a kitchen area is stocked using the proper bakery supplies, cake baking becomes easy.

The important thing to cake baking is based on making certain the correct proportion of ingredients. For your, every kitchen will need calculating cups and spoons. Your kitchen will need containers for that batter, so a few mixing bowls and baking pans are nice to possess. Cupcake pans count as baking pans, too, and also the more baking you need to do, the greater helpful cupcake pans become.

Area of the fun of creating cakes is based on decorating them. A cooling rack will allow the cooked cake rest, which makes it simpler to brighten. A variety of pastry brushes along with other cake decorating tools can make the wedding cake look just like it tastes.

Then it will likely be time to leave individuals bakery boxes to accept cakes to office parties, kids birthday parties along with other occasions.

Finally, most kitchens curently have good stand mixers and food processors. Crucial in fundamental preparing food, these products will also be helpful in baking, accelerating the entire process of blending ingredients. Like the majority of bakery supplies, these products can be found at stores or Websites that provide wholesale bakeware.

LETTER FROM a GRADE 5 learner’s parent

I would love my child to eat in the Breakfast Club. I’m only working two days a week and have 6 children that I must take care of. I’m really trying my best for them to grow up well. V’s transport arrives very early in the morning (06:00 am) at that time he doesn’t feel like eating because it’s very early. The idea of breakfast club is the best and I wish it can happen very soon.

Dive Bar Softball Team Celebrates Birth, Awaits Five More

The Callahan’s intramural crew sees a baby boom

The Callahan’s crew welcomes the first of six softball babies.

After Callahan’s bar owner Rachael Murphy and her husband joined the Twin Lakes Church softball team more than a year ago, they began inviting friends from the bar to join. Pretty soon, they were starting their own team.

Together, they recruited more Callahan’s regulars, bringing in husbands, wives and friends to their own club last fall. As soon as they started, one of their team members got pregnant—then another one did, and another, and then three more. At one point, six of the eight women on the team were pregnant and playing ball at the same time.

“There must be something in the water,” Murphy jokes. “Or maybe the vodka.”

“Nobody knows what goes on when the softball lights go off,” David Coombs, Murphy’s husband, laughs.

For some of the teammates, their new baby is their first. They all help one another out, offering advice on strollers, feeding and exploding diapers. Murphy already has two kids at home, and says that it’s better to go through pregnancies with a support network.

“The biggest thing for me is showing that women can still do things when they are pregnant,” Murphy says, on a recent afternoon in the Callahan’s parking lot, while several locals pop out for a smoke and motorcycle engines hum around her. “The mentality that I’ve seen over the years is that you get lazy and fat and your body hates you, and that’s what I experienced in my first couple of pregnancies. This time, I didn’t allow myself to do that. I pushed myself through the season, and it made me feel better about myself and my pregnancy. It’s a time to show that we don’t need to be put up in an easy chair surrounded by bonbons.”

Murphy has welcomed the change in routine and says that she’s now more active than she’s ever been. She sits out back with the other players, swooning over the first newborn as the neighboring smokers keep a safe distance.

“Don’t rev!” the ladies demand of the bikers. “There’s a baby here!”

The Callahan’s softball team just finished its summer season last month, and although they wanted to play this upcoming fall season, each team needs to have at least five men and five women to play, and their usual group of 19 players is a bit short on female players at the moment. With the five other pregnancies and one woman in postpartum recovery, the team only has two non-pregnant women available to play.

“You have to play two days a week, and with people out and sick and breastfeeding there aren’t enough people to play,” Murphy explains.

They are currently recruiting new players, women in particular. The Callahan’s team played against eight teams this past season, including Bay Federal, New Leaf and UCSC. Although the Callahan’s team didn’t exactly go undefeated, they did win a game. “Despite our record, we are the best team,” third baseman Wes Rose insists. “Don’t let the numbers fool you. We have style points.”

Murphy says the team picked up a few tricks along the way. “We all show up and are a bunch of pregnant chicks and are like, ‘You can’t strike us out because we are pregnant,”’ Murphy says. “We definitely got special treatment.”

With the addition of five new babies by their next season, they say they’ll have to take turns or draw straws for who babysits. There are usually injuries, they say, so maybe the injured players will have to be the babysitters. Murphy is due in a matter of weeks and says that post-pump jello shots are in order next season.

Most of the players have some prior softball experience, even if it was 20 years ago. Though they admit that they aren’t the best team, the Callahan’s players feel confident that they have the most fun in the whole league. In matching Callahan’s T-shirts, they put up a good fight, then retire back to the bar for a family dinner, all made by Murphy herself. They even invite the other team, which almost always shows up, Murphy says.

“It turns into a thing. I don’t know what kind of thing, but it turns into something,” she laughs. “It turns into a gestational fest.”

Murphy says that since she bought the dive bar five years ago, the Callahan’s community has become like an extended family. Most of players on the team have known each other for 20 years, and see each other every day. From bikers and babes to mechanics and Apple engineers, there’s room for everyone and anyone, she says.

“Everyone does something completely off-the-wall different. We just wanted to do something that was fun,” Murphy says. “It’s a funny group of people, we have different lives, and then we just all meet here at the end of the day. We’re a dysfunctional, happy family.”

Tango Improvisation – Part 4   Leave a comment

Tango Improvisation – Part 4

We really hope that you have enjoyed the first four week seminar on tango improvisation, and that our goal of teaching you how to think has made very positive changes in the way you now will approach the enjoyment of dancing tango with a new attitude. We’d like to say that our first four week seminar on tango improvisation ended with a bang, but… we were so pleased with the results that we have added a lagniappe session to wrap things up. This will be a great opportunity for those who missed some classes to catch up, and for everyone else to review and reinforce the newly acquired improvisations skills.

At this stage of your tango awareness education, we would hope that,

  • You make axis and embrace your foremost priority as you step on the dance floor
  • You never refer to women as followers or follows again
  • You never refer to men as leaders or leads
  • You don’t think that you need to compromise your dancing by “adjusting” to whom you dance with
  • You don’t respond to a compliment on your dancing by “blaming” it on a good “leader” or a good “follower.”
  • You accept responsibility for what you can and can’t do
  • You accept compliments on your superb dancing with kindness (and pride)
  • You continue internalizing your knowledge by forcing your body to follow your thoughts
  • You continue to master the concepts of body alignment and body positions
  • You don’t invent “new” steps beyond the six root movements you can do with two legs.
  • You never look at the feet but concentrate on the motions of the bodies in space

At least, give it a good try, and don’t fall back into the old habits of step collection and connecting dots dancing.
Every dance should a be a shared adventure.

In our last session, we moved from exercising the six root steps in place to use them in  a very useful construction called La base, or The Base. No matter how deep into a complex combination you are, you will always be in one of the stages of La base, perhaps a different stage for the man than for the woman, but that is why we’re teaching you how to think. The moment the motion memory in your brain begins to understand and recognize that, you become another member of the improvisation club with all the perks that that entitles. Free upgrades and priority boarding are just a step ahead.

Please, raise your head and look at the bodies, do not memorize feet movements, but recognize the elements you have learned and start marveling at the seamless way of connecting them into coordinated patterns..
Thank you for your trust and dedication.

Three Things

Hey, Hey friends!! I don’t know about y’all but I love reading those little personal updates on the blogs that I follow! My girlfriend, Andrea, does a post where she shares “Three Things” about each family member, so I am sharing something similar with you today!  Here we go

Rob and Narci

  1. We went on our first date night in forever this weekend.  We met some sweet friends at a yummy restaurant Tupelo Honey, and it was delicious!  If you are local, you should totally check it out!!
  2. Work is busy for both of us!  Rob’s company recently transitioned after being sold (again! haha!  I think this makes for the 4th time since he started working there!) and will be moving to the other side of the Metroplex soon.  Big changes ahead for him!  Alot of you have asked what he does, and he is Microwave Engineering Manager for a major telecom company.  Basically, he manages the installation of the technology that makes your cell phones and emergency responder systems work.  There’s a more technical way to explain this, I am confident, but I am the girl who calls tech support out because I forgot to plug my monitor in….(True story.)
  3. I can hardly believe it, but I’m already putting the finishing touches on our Fall photography calendar!  I feel like we were just wrapping up Fall, but here we go again…and I couldn’t be more excited!  I think it’s going to be an awesome Fall and Holiday Season! Yahoo!

  1. What in the name of High School Football….Jackson has been hard at work with Football this summer!  On Mondays thru Thursdays, he goes up to the high school and trains for about two hours which is amazing to me, because I usually quit about 30 minutes into the hour workout class that I go to.  😉 He is so excited for JV football, and I can’t wait to watch him play again this Fall.  Bring on the Thursday night lights, y’all!
  2. Say it ain’t so…..After playing for 4 years, Jackson is retiring his violin to focus on his academics and football.  He did a lot of running around from one thing to the next last year, so I was super impressed by this mature choice to cut back!  Also, he’s starting to seriously think about colleges and admissions and such.  We have an exciting few years ahead for him!  Also, can I say that 15 is really a great age, in my humble opinion!   I am loving him and all of his sweet friends.  They really are a lot of fun!
  3. Smartie pants…..Speaking of fun, Jackson got his AP scores back for Geography, and he got the highest score that was possible.   Who even does that?  Isn’t that amazing?  I’m not telling you this to brag, but instead to show you that Brains aren’t always genetic….When I attended his middle school geography bee, the only question I could answer correctly the entire morning was the capitol of Texas.  ha.

  1. Soccer talk…..I mentioned this awhile back, but Luke signed with his select team and we are pumped to watch him play in August!   If you ask him, he still wants to be a soccer player when we grows up.  He’d like to be the next David Beckham and has plans to play in the FIFA World Cup in 8 years….Rumor has it that it will be in Dallas that year, so that would be super convenient for us, right? I love his big dreams. 🙂
  2. Here we go again…..Luke turned 10 this summer, and I’ve noticed that he REALLY IS getting older…I mean, baby Luke is gone, and I have another sweet BIG boy over here on my hands.  It is a little sad, but mostly I am so thankful that we have such awesome boys!  It makes them growing up way easier when your littles turn out to be amazing and a lot of fun!
  3. I’ll take two please…..And with his big boy status, I’ve noticed that his appetite has grown too!!  He eats every meal like it might be the last he ever has!  haha!

  1. A Jane of all trades….well, Presley is in the middle of her summer soccer schedule and is loving it so much. So, if you are keeping track, Presley would like to play soccer, volleyball, do Ballet, and resume tumbling….if we could work in a cheer squad and softball while we are at it, then that would be great for her too.  haha! I love her and how athletic she is, but we are making her pick because who has time for all that? For now, Volleyball is still her number one, and I am thanking my lucky stars that she picked an air conditioned sport.  (And all the mamas said Amen!)
  2. You be you, girl.…I am LOVING watching her personality really develop as she gets older. She is super sweet and always thinking about others feelings.  She’s also tender hearted and has a big heart for her friends and family. Also, don’t mess with her, because she did grow up with two big brothers and she can hold her own if it comes to a dog fight (either verbally or physically).  I’ve seen it happen, people! haha!
  3. Working hard…In 2nd grade, she really came into her own academically.  Watching her push ahead has been such a blessing! Big things ahead for this girl in third grade!

Happy Tuesday, friends!! I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into our world.   Have the best day! XOXO Narci

  1. I loved this post! You should add that Luke can put away a pizza like nobody’s business. It’s impressive to watch. 🙂 He also has the best manners! You’ve got 3 great kids. Well done, Mama!

  2. Thank you for sharing a bit of your lives. Your kids are growing up fast but they sound like nice kids too. That can be difficult in today’s world. Good job to you, Rob, and Jesus.

At Granulawn, we would like to ensure our customers can get the answers to their questions as quickly as possible.  We have detailed below some of our most frequently asked questions and their answers for your convenience.
Q.  My application was made yesterday morning and it rained last night, will my treatment still be effective?

A.  Rain saves you from having to water in the fertilizer granules, however it can sometimes affect the weed control we apply.  If you know there was at least a 3 hour window of time between your application and the rain, the weed control should have had plenty of time to penetrate and kill the weed.  After two or three days, you will notice the weeds beginning to wilt and possibly the grass surrounding the weed yellow for a week or so.  This is normal and means the weed control has been effective.  If you do not see any change in your weeds after 3-4 days, please contact us and we will be happy to schedule a service call to come out and re-spray your weeds free of charge.

Q.  There are yellow spots that appeared in my lawn after my application, what has happened?

A.  Every scheduled application also includes control for weeds.  Sometimes the area around the weed sprayed will yellow for a period of time after the application.  This is common and will not result in permanent damage.  Your lawn should recover after 1-2 mowings.  If the spot does not return to normal within 10 days, please contact us and we will schedule a check-up for your lawn.

Q.  How often and at what height should I mow my lawn?

A.  It is very important for you to mow your lawn on a regular basis.  Cutting off more than 1/3 of your lawn’s green leaf can cause stress to your turf and affect color and density, so we recommend that you should mow your lawn at least once
a week.  In addition, our hot Texas summers can be harsh on your turf, so we also recommend that you raise the height of your lawnmower during the hot summer season.  Doing so will allow your soil to collect and hold more moisture and it also provides some natural shade to the ground beneath that tends to harden and crack in our, sometimes, blazing Texas heat.

I’m 33 and well past the prime of the average athlete or dancer. I had an exhilarating youth, an exceptional adolescence, and a vigorous young adulthood marked by hard work and hard play. I sense my body settling in for the long haul as the great expansion gradually gives way to the great contraction.

In the midst of this pendulum swing I behold a moment of stillness in the physiological flow of my existence. As if standing on a precipice, taking into account the spirit of my youth, I can see very clearly now the prospect of my older years. I must take possession of my body, my thoughts and my actions, and represent, in the wisdom of the years, this very same unadulterated spirit. I am free to create myself and in my experience the divine creation shares in the joy of recreation. The twilight of my life will be spent with the powerful promise each day’s sunset seems to intimate: Tomorrow will be even better.

In the grand scheme, I’m in the prime of my life. 33 is a singular double triple of a digit. While not a prime, mathematically, a very prominent number indeed. It seems like an appropriate time to resurrect yesterdays optimism and begin building tomorrow’s temple. The cornerstone was laid when I was 20, but 13 years conspired to postpone the construction of this transcendental edifice.

I am a thinking being, full of emotionally irrational intelligence. I am continually observing, assessing, and recalculating in a journey (LABrynth!) of my soul. I am aware that I am aware! I don’t exist to touch and feel, I touch and feel to exist. I push against things and see if they push back. I know not authority, but my own will. There is something inside of me that doesn’t have a voice, but it’s inchoate murmurings are taking on a feverish rhythm reverberating in the chaotic melodies of nature, the discord of human relations, and the spiraling incongruence of man and his environment.

Let the New Moon guide us…

Green Team Realty Receives NAMI Orange Appreciation Award –

Green Team Realty receives NAMI Orange Appreciation Award

Geoff Green proudly accepted NAMI Orange‘s Appreciation Award on behalf of Green Team Realty at their 15th Annual Meeting. The meeting was held on November 25 at the Orange County Department of Mental Health in Goshen, NY.. Dhanu Sannesy, President of NAMI Orange is pictured here with Geoff Green and Susan Wynn. She spoke passionately about the work being done. And inspired us all with the work yet to do.

Presenting the Award

Green Team raised both awareness and funds for NAMI Orange through its Team Up for Hope initiative. I am a member of NAMI Orange. But I am also the Green Team’s Content Marketing Manager and part of Team Up for Hope. Therefore, I was asked to present the Appreciation Award to Geoff Green. And it was an honor to read the following inscription to him and all those attending.

Reading text of award to Geoff Green

NAMI Orange Appreciation Award presented to Green Team Realty – a real estate company that cares what happens in its community, represented by Geoff Green.

Besides their Team Up for Hope’s very successful fundraiser which benefited NAMI Orange, Green Team Realty also organized a webinar to increase public awareness featuring two NAMI Orange members who discussed how mental health issues impact the family as well as the individual – and who educated people as to how they could get the support and the services that they might need. An excellent public service! We are honored to have had Team Up for Hope select NAMI Orange as a recipient of their charitable good works.

What is NAMI?

The National Alliance on Mental Illness, “NAMI,” began at a kitchen table in 1979. A small group of families whose lives had been impacted by mental illness got together. And they decided to take some action. Now, 40 years later, it is the largest grassroots mental health organization in the United States. There are 48 NAMI State Organizations and more than 600 local affiliates.

According to NAMI’s website, the organization “envisions a world where all people affected by mental illness live healthy, fulfilling lives supported by a community that cares.” Their mission is to provide “advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives.”

Mental illness. Let’s talk statistics

These statistics are posted on the NAMI website  And they’re frightening.

1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year
1 in 25 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year
1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year
50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-34

Mental illness. Let’s talk reality

Imagine someone you know and care about becomes one of these statistics. Family members and friends suddenly find themselves in a world turned upside down. They don’t understand what has happened to their loved one. Furthermore, they don’t what to do or say to help that person. And the stigma surrounding mental illness can make it difficult to discuss the challenges with friends and family. As a result this further isolates both patient and family.

My family has lived this reality. My youngest daughter, Andrea, was diagnosed with bipolar and anxiety disorders at the age of 14. There was nothing that prepared us for the journey we suddenly found ourselves on. No guidebook to explain the mania, then the plunges into deep despair. There were prescriptions for lots of medications in lots of combinations. In addition there was therapy. However, there was nothing that helped us all to understand what was happening within her brain. No advice on how to communicate or set limits. No one telling me it wasn’t my fault. Chaos ruled our lives, exacerbated by loneliness.

NAMI Orange. Making a difference

I was introduced to NAMI Orange by a friend whose child was also struggling with a mental health diagnosis. We both signed up to take NAMI’s Family-to-Family class. This is apeer education program for family members of adults living with mental illness.”  Andrea was in the recovery stage of her illness at that time.  I didn’t really need the course, I thought. But maybe I could pick up a few helpful tips. Instead, what I experienced was life changing.

People with a common goal made up our class. We wanted to learn how to better understand and help our loved ones. NAMI gave us the tools to better understand the science behind mental illness. Further, we learned about symptoms and changes to behavior and personality. In addition, we were taught communication skills, crisis preparation plans and so much more. Finally, we became our own support group. We shared our stories and the challenges we were facing. Most importantly we understood what everyone was going through.

NAMI Orange is an all-volunteer organization. Family-to-Family teachers are peers who also have an adult family member living with a mental illness. Furthermore, they go through specialized training. So do facilitators of support groups and presenters of in-school programs. The dedication of these volunteers cannot be overstated.

Team Up For Hope – Teaming up with NAMI Orange

The Green Team believes in giving back to the community. Money was raised through Light up the Holidays for the Warwick Valley Humane Society and Warwick Playground Dreams. After a few years of doing holiday lights contests, it was decided to change to a basic fund-raising effort. The name suggested was Team Up for Hope. And we decided we would team up with NAMI Orange and NAMI Sussex.

As a result, we arranged a meeting with representatives of these organizations. The information they shared with us and their passion for NAMI made a lasting impression on us. Together we were determined to raise not only funds, but awareness. That included the webinar mentioned in the award, which you can view here.

In addition, Andrea told her story of living with mental illness and her journey to recovery in a second webinar.  Andrea concluded her story by performing an original song she had written about living with Bi-Polar Disorder. Sheila Sutton represented NAMI Orange again. She spoke to Andrea’s story. And Sheila also relayed the help that NAMI offers. Moreover,  Geoff  announced that Team Up for Hope had raised over $3,100 for NAMI Orange and over $1,500 for NAMI Sussex.  To view that webinar, click here.

Andrea is a believer in sharing her journey with others in hopes of helping end the stigma surrounding mental illness. And I share her story with her permission. Further, we both share our thanks to Geoff Green. He first met Andrea during the webinar. However, knowing her diagnosis, he never hesitated to interview her for a position at the Green Team. She is now Agent Service Manager at the Warwick Office. Above all, Green Team shows that we are always Teaming Up for Hope!

World Reaction to Obama Win

International reaction to the historic election of Barack Obama as President-elect of the United States has begun.

I’m collecting some reactions to Obama’s victory from around the world. (The photo to the left is from Israel)

Reaction to Obama’s win ranged from jubilation to trepidation on the streets of the world’s capital cities as official congratulations from heads of state began to flow shortly after Republican candidate John McCain conceded the election.[McCain’s concession speech was very impressive, BTW]

Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki called Obama’s victory in the US presidential election a “momentous” day for Kenya, where Obama’s father was born.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Obama’s victory took the world into a “new era.” “The election of Senator Barack Obama to the presidency of the United States has taken the American people and the rest of the world with them into a new era – an era where race, colour and ethnicity, I hope, will also disappear… in politics in the rest of the world,” he said.

BBC: World Welcomes Obama Victory. The United States has seen the biggest transformation in its standing in the world since the election of Kennedy in November 1960. This is a country which has habitually, sometimes irritatingly, regarded itself as young and vibrant, the envy of the world. Often this is merely hype. But there are times when it is entirely true. With Barack Obama’s victory, one of these moments seems to have arrived.

LONDON: Within hours of Senator Barack Obama claiming the Democratic presidential nomination, the world’s attention switched from a primary campaign that had riveted outsiders to a presidential contest that raises deep concerns about where and how America will lead the world.

Even though Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not immediately concede defeat, Obama’s claim shifted the focus from the tantalizing question of the primaries — were the Democrats prepared to make history on matters of race and gender — to the looming battle between relative youth and relative age, between experience and renewal and, most of all, between the untested champion of the Democrats to the nominee of a Republican Party whose global image has been scarred by the war in Iraq and fear of neo-conservative adventures.

…Gerard Baker, the U.S. editor of The Times of London, wrote: “In 220 years a country that has steadily multiplied in diversity, where ethnic minorities and women have risen to the very highest positions in so many fields of human life, has chosen a succession of 42 white men as its leader. For good measure, the vice presidency, the only other nationally directly elected position in the US government, has been held by a succession of 46 white males.”

“But last night, in a tumultuous break with this long history, the ultimate realization of the American dream moved a little closer, and a black man became his party’s nominee for the presidency,” Baker wrote.

The Guardian: Obama is England’s Hope Too They did it. They really did it. So often crudely caricatured by others, the American people yesterday stood in the eye of history and made an emphatic choice for change for themselves and the world. Though bombarded by a blizzard of last-minute negative advertising that should shame the Republican party, American voters held their nerve and elected Barack Obama as their new president to succeed George Bush. Elected him, what is more, by a clearer majority than one of those bitter narrow margins that marked the last two elections…

…Mr Obama will take office in January amid massive unrealisable expectations and facing a daunting list of problems – the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the broken healthcare system, the spiralling federal budget and America’s profligate energy regime all prominent among them. Eclipsing them all, as Mr Obama has made clear in recent days, is the challenge of rebuilding the economy and the banking system. These, though, are issues for another day. Today is for celebration, for happiness and for reflected human glory. Savour those words: President Barack Obama, America’s hope and, in no small way, ours too.

Haaretz: Israel is worried about what the outcome of America’s presidential election may portend for Washington’s policy on Iran. On most Israel-related issues, Jerusalem foresees no dramatic changes in U.S. policy, regardless of who is elected. On Iran, however, it is worried that Democratic candidate Barack Obama will take a significantly softer line than the outgoing administration has. During his campaign, Obama repeatedly said that if elected, he would begin a dialogue with the Iranian regime.

The Australian: Obama Has World Mandate IT IS a sublime moment – Barack Obama to succeed George W. Bush, an affirmation of America, its foundation mission, its abiding dreams.

The American people have turned the page. This is more than a vote for change. It is a act of renewal, a turning point in American history and a quest for a better nation. The American people chose Obama yet most of the world also wanted Obama – that invests his Presidency with a potential authority unknown in history and an opportunity to touch not just Americans but people around the world.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd: Obama has turned Martin Luther King’s dream into a reality . “Twenty-five years ago Martin Luther King had a dream of an America where men and women would be judged not on the colour of their skin but on the content of their character,” Rudd told reporters. “Today what America has done is turn that dream into a reality.”

New Straits Times: TODAY we will feast our eyes, ears and hearts on the results of our election. Oops. Well, it does seem as if the United States’ presidential election this time around belongs not just to the Americans. From the pastoral plains of Kenya, whose citizens proudly claim Barack Obama as their own, to the dizzy cheerleading of a Japanese fishing port called Obama, the US presidential race is not just some run-of-the-mill passing-of-a-governing-baton. Locally, we will have woken up this morning to results coming in from American states in the morning right through noon and beyond. For the first time in history, people all over the world are riveted to an election they feel invested in…

Buy Banana Trees, Banana Bulbs and Banana Plants For Spring Planting

Banana trees are easy to grow fast to a fruiting size from field grown banana bulbs. Gardeners find it fascinating that a tropical look can be grown in Northern states by starting out by planting large field grown, banana bulbs or either mature giant banana trees. Vigorous growth on newly planted banana trees usually begins a week or two after replanting, and during the summer months a field grown banana tree can grow a foot in height every week, especially in July and August, when the temperatures exceed 90 degrees F. and the daylight period is extended. Watering of newly planted banana trees can damage the plant, if the watering is done before the second new leaf appears; Two or three weeks after the initial planting.

After the banana plant leafs out, daily watering can accelerate the maturity of the plant, and in TyTy, GA when temperatures exceed 95 degrees F, banana trees are watered two or three times every day, resulting in a surge of growth, 17 ft. in some banana cultivars in only four months time. The rapid fast grown of banana trees goes unmatched by any other plant or tree in the U.S., even bamboo plants. In a matter of four months a banana tree can increase in total weight to one thousand pounds, including the weight of the offsets.

In addition to the benefit of flooding the banana trees with water, fertilizer and decaying organic material, such as rotting leaves, magazines and newspapers, and the nutrients are absorbed by the roots of the banana plant, like water is absorbed by a sponge – Newspapers and Magazines spread out above the roots of the banana trees benefit the tree growth by preventing weed competition and providing a favorable growth environment for congregations of insects, fungi, bacteria and worms, all of which degrade the organic material, and many complex minerals and inorganic chemicals that are recycled into manageable nutritional growth supplements by these earth dwelling creatures.

The chemical compounds of the element potassium seem especially favorable to the growth of banana trees- 40% potash applied directly to the soil. Fertilize with concentrated ammonium nitrate fertilizer that contains about 30% nitrogen in the elemental stage. Ammonium Phosphate will supply the element phosphorous that anchors the plant roots well into the grounds that prevents the banana tree from breaking over from the weight of the newly formed banana bunches during the Fall. The application of nitrogen to banana trees often will cause extreme acceleration of stem and leaf growth, and the intensification of a deep green leaf color can be easily seen on the day following fertilization, if the banana trees were chlorotic. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salts) and chelated iron are also dramatic stimulators to banana trees on sandy southern soils, where those chemical elements are often deficient. Slag which is a residual inexpensive biproduct in the manufacture of iron and will recover most mineral deficient soils to an acceptable fertility level for banana tree vigor.

Cold hardiness quality has been monitored in TyTy, Georgia since the zero degree F freeze in January of 1983, when some banana trees that were growing before the freeze they were found to be cold hardy temperature to zero degrees F. Other cultivars of banana trees that survived temperatures much below freezing were collected from freezes in Wichita Falls, Texas, and named “Texas Star” banana trees, and still another cultivar collected from snow capped Kilimanjaro Mountain in Africa. The introduction and advertising of cold hardy banana trees through National magazines in the early 1980s was an instant success, and for many years, there was a demand for all types of banana trees that could not be filled. That initial introduction of cold hardy banana trees has now stimulated the planting of this choice tropical tree to many states and overseas markets. Some major wholesale banana growers now grow containerized banana trees from tissue culture germ plasm.

Many clones of these tissue culture, banana tree cultivars have “run out”, just like strawberry plants, Canna lily cultivars, and many others. These “run out” clones of banana tree plants are weakly growing, stunted plants and usually form offsets that have pointed, sword shaped leaves that etiolate and shrivel in size after separation from the mother banana plant. Field grown banana trees normally produce offsets that have rounded leaves that can be safely separated from the mother banana plant after the appearance of the third leaf. Tissue culture banana production-line plants offered an endless supply of mailorder small plants, but they rarely grew into acceptable fruit producers. Even the potted banana plants grown from tissue culture in greenhouses produced octopus-like clumps of banana offsets surrounding the mother banana plant, that parasitically drained the energy from the mother plant and they rarely fruited. Field grown banana plants will outgrow tissue culture grown banana plants 10 to 1, and larger bulbs of field grown banana plants will fruit more frequently.

In rating cold hardy banana plants, the Chinese banana tree is number one, followed by ensete banana cultivars, however, the ensete banana trees will not produce offsets unless decapitated, in situ, which forces the mother plant to multiply vegetatively. This phenomenon is often observed in many crinum lily cultivars that do not produce offsets or seed, since they are hybrids. Most commonly, ensete banana tree cultivars are seed forming, and commercially are produced by planting ensete banana seed.
