Don't take "holy" water onto pope plane

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican has warned journalists who will travel with Pope Benedict to Lourdes next month not to put the revered water from the shrine in their hand luggage on the papal plane or it may be confiscated.

The pope will travel Sept 12-15 to Paris and the site in southern France where the Madonna is said to have appeared to a peasant girl, Bernadette Soubirous, 150 years ago.

The millions of pilgrims who visit the shrine each year drink from its fonts, many believing its water to be potentially miraculous and healing. Most take bottles of it away with them.

Why Your Skin Craves Oatmeal

The Skin Doc’s Smoothing, Soothing Oatmeal Mask:

2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 tablespoon honey

1. Put the oats into a clean herb or coffee grinder on the finest setting, and process into powder.

2. Pour into a small bowl and stir in hot water and honey. Let stand for 5 minutes.

3. Wash face with warm water. While skin is still damp, massage paste onto face, circling around eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10 minutes.

4. Remove with tepid water and a washcloth. Apply your favorite moisturizer to seal the deal and set the glow.

P.S.: Don’t stop eating oats just because you’ve transformed them into a beauty treatment! They’re hard to beat as a source of health-protective soluble fiber -- and eating a high-fiber diet can make your RealAge up to 6 years younger.

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water

After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

clipper's remarks: scare tactics sends people delusional

Clip Source: www.news.com.au

Scare tactics make me sick

I STAGGERED into my local hospital's emergency department last Thursday and found out just how sick the global warming alarmists really are.

Not a single bed to be had. Not there, or anywhere near, either, I was told.

No, I'm not saying the beds were all filled with people sick with "climate change delusion" -- described by the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry as a condition that gives victims "visions of apocalyptic events", that leaves them too scared to drink a glass of water for fear "that, due to climate change, (their) own water consumption could lead within days to the deaths of millions of people".

Global warming prophets have had great success in screaming at us to repent or die.

Yet scaring people to death has now become so standard and so shameless that even our local councils now pay experts to terrify the locals, hoping fear will make them believe a new faith that reason insists they doubt.

Water Down the Drain

In the United States, nearly one-third of the food that is produced each year, worth about $48 billion, is discarded. The water it took to grow and process that wasted food amounts to about 10 trillion gallons, according to the analysis. Many European countries have similar losses, proportional to their size.

Years ago, in the context of the anthrax attacks, I learned about food irradiation, which developing countries increasingly are employing to cut spoilage rates; the technique has just been approved in the United States for spinach and lettuce.

improved efficiency in food production and water use will be needed in a world of growing populations seeking decent lives. As the new report explains, more than a billion people now live in areas with insufficient water.

Millions eating food grown with polluted water, says UN report

Study of 53 cities across the world finds 'widespread' use of waste water contaminated with heavy metals and sewage

At least 200 million people around the world risk their health daily by eating food grown using untreated waste water, some of which may be contaminated with heavy metals and raw sewage, according to major study of 53 world cities.

Urban farmers in 80% of the cities surveyed were found to be using untreated waste water, but the study said they also provided vital food for burgeoning cities at a time of unprecedented water scarcity and the worst food crisis in 30 years.

Nemo's nose helps find way home

clipper's remarks: They discovered some of the scents that attracted the clown fish to to the reefs that provide a suitable habitat. The scent from the leaves of one coastal plant Xanthostemon, a kind of myrtle attracted them. They also found scents, such as the leaves from the Melaleuca Nervosa, a kind of paperbark which is another type of myrtle, that repelled them. They say this could have implications regarding tree planting and reforestation near marine habitats.

The animated clownfish Nemo may have found his way home a lot sooner if he had trusted his nose

research by scientists from Australia, France and the US, has revealed that a species of clownfish (Amphiprion percula) uses its olfactory senses to help it locate a suitable habitat.

The findings appear in the latest edition of the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Professor Geoff Jones of James Cook University, Townsville, says that although previous research has shown clownfish can smell, these new findings identify the scents they are using.

"We've actually narrowed down the chemical signals that they may be using to find their home."

Almost all exhibited a strong preference for water collected from reefs that contained islands.

The researchers then used water that contained the scent of an anemone or leaves from coastal plants such as Xanthostemon.

When given a choice between scented or unscented water the fish spent more than 90% of their time in the scented water.

Hibiscus Flower Margaritas Recipe

Old Man Long Beans

Drunken Cherries

a funky little Caribbean sugar shack kind of place caught my attention -- Little Baobab

The drink menu was a lot of fun. I fell into a bit of a rut with my first choice which was a hibiscus margarita. I drank two (or was it three?) of them. They smelled floral and sweet, but full of berries all at the same time. I got mine on ice as opposed to blended, and the color was a beautiful pomegranate shade which added to its irresistibility.

Hibiscus Flower Margarita Recipe

1 cup dried hibiscus flowers
1 cup sugar
4 cups water
1 cup+ tequila

Then I let it simmer for 10 or 15 minutes. Strained through cheesecloth, and put the hibiscus water in the fridge to cool.

To serve I added the tequila (to taste). I then mixed and poured over ice. You want to be able to taste the hibiscus, and you don't wan't it too sweet. You may want to add a bit of water if it is too sweet or strong.

"No homemade stock? Use water!" says Chef Michael Ruhlman of The French Laundry

clipper's remarks: Interesting - this contradicts the traditional advice to never use plain water because it will dilute the flavors.

FREE STOCK TIP

One of the more surprising pieces of food advice I've tested recently came from Michael Ruhlman, co-author of the cookbook from The French Laundry, one of the country's most expensive restaurants.

Ruhlman doesn't just repeat the common advice to make your own stock. He says that if you don't have homemade stock, use water for your recipes rather than buying canned or boxed stock. And he wants you to do it for flavor; cost savings is a bonus.

I've tried water instead of canned broth for several recipes when I was short of homemade stock. The only time it failed was when the recipe called for a full two quarts of broth that was meant to provide most of the flavor in the dish. If a recipe calls for just a cup or two of broth, I have found substituting water is no problem.
