Mary Vitamin D deficiency is widespread in U.S.
Mr. G: I take 50,000 mg. Vit. D once a week. ... An alternative Dr., John Sacco, found it in blood test.
Ellen: Gay Pride this weekend
Mr. G. article in NY Times about the health advantages of homosexual partnership. See http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/10/health/10well.html?em&ex=1213329600&en=ac28f983a31a6e38&ei=5087%0A “Gay partnerships shed light on gender in marriage” . Things like women picking up too much of the housework ... Less likely to happen in gay relationships.
Mr. G. Possible topic: now that the primary is over, we have clear differences between Rep. and Dem. Do we negotiate with other countries with or without pre conditions? This could expand to personal relationships. Is it healthier to have preconditions when you have divergent views?
Brooke I was going to propose impeachment. Kucinich’ proposal for impeachment of Bush was read today on the floor of House. But Nancy Pelosi is against it.
Mr. G. I heard an argument against impeachment... Because you are late in the second term...
Roy It could keep us from bombing Iran. The heads of the Air force were sacked.
Gerry 11 Pakistani soldiers accidentally killed by US bombing near border. Pakistani gov’t condemning.
Braden How can Osama bin Laden still be alive, he needs dialysis ?
Bob soldiers now on Prozac...
Marvin 1) you need to see “the Great American Trailer Park Musical” at the ensemble theater. ... Sunday Matinee. Very fun. 2) Gerry and I have moved; totally new experience for us, first move in 47 years. It is a big test to your resilience. So many details!

Derek I have 1 acre produce garden, very productive.
Bob The Copenhagen Consensus center, article in Wall St. Journal. Best way to use money to sole global problems. Google “Copenhagen Consensus Center”. They discuss women’s rights, global warming, ... All sorts of issues. ... Give Vit. A and zinc supplements to poor countries. ... Global warming mitigation. ... A little money can go a long way over period of time ... But it implies that the US should be off the hook re. global warming. I will send the article as a pdf file to anyone who askes. bobwit@earthlink.net
Mary The herbalist looked in my eyes and did muscle testing... Adrenal stress... B vitamin.
Roy My youngest daughter grad. From OSU Sunday. Will be moving to W. Maryland, licensed in three states. She is a veterinarian.

Phillip is bringing the mahaschwari process; a two day retreat, preparation for another 2 day retreat by his Indian teacher, witnessing the Divine Mother ... Female aspect of the divine.

... I am bringing “the heart of now” workshop to Cinti. From Oregon. Healing past traumas; empowering ourselves; community building. Aug. 2. But Mon June 23 at Imago we are having an “experience night”, finding what we are passionate about, connecting with other people.

Brooke Muse concert this Sat.
Gerry Tomorrow at 9:30 WVXU on recycling, with Roxanne Qualls.
Roy the only way recycling is economical is if it is “source separated”. If they have to pay people to sort it, it becomes infeasible. In Europe in every street corner there are bins for plastic, cans, paper. They have competitions with the next town on who recycled the most.

Section Two: Events & Opportunities
From IJPC
DIRECT DIALOGUE INSTEAD OF WAR WITH IRAN
Tell Congress You Want Direct Dialogue Not War with Iran
The same people who called for attacking Iraq now are raising the drumbeat for military action against Iran. Despite the November 2007 U.S. National Intelligence Estimate concluding that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program, the Bush administration is bolstering its case for war by labeling Iran one of the greatest threats to American security.
BOMBING IRAN WOULD BRING DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES.
The entire Middle East likely would descend into further violence putting the well-being of innumerable civilians at risk.
U.S. standing in the world would plummet and oil prices would soar.
A U.S. attack would only strengthen hardliners in Iran.
Current U.S. policies are not working. Threats of military attacks and regime change, while refusing to talk with Iran until they stop enriching uranium is only heightening tensions.
CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES!
To speak with your Member of Congress, call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your Senators' and/or Representative's office.
Tell them to work for direct, unconditional, and comprehensive talks
between the U.S. and Iran;
The U.S. and Iran share common interests in a stable Iraq, Middle East andAfghanistan.
The U.S. pursued negotiations with North Korea and Libya—it’s time to talk
with Iran.
Tell your Congressional leaders that you want dialogue not war!

Philip Lipetz, teacher of the Datatreya Path (Hindu Tradition) @ the Salon next Wednesday 6/18
(From Braden Trauth. Braden is that cool young man (tall, thin, blond, pony tail) who presented on Permaculture at the salon in April and also led the Permaculture certification course here. Ellen).
Philip will be coming to the Salon next week to speak about the Divine Mother Experience that will be coming to Cincinnati on June 28th & 29th. This is a very rare event to occur in the Western World and will be the first (and possibly only) time this process will be offered in the US (read more under Announcements).
I have been studying with Philip since January of this year and have been totally amazed by the process of the Datatreya path that he teaches. He is the first teacher I've ever studied with in person, since I tend to have a very skeptical mind about spiritual teachers, especially those you pay for. Although I have paid a relatively minimal fee for studying with Philip (after all the guy does have to eat!), it is only through divine guidance that I have chosen to continue my study with Philip, as seems to be the case with his eleven other dedicated students that have been studying with him for the last year here in Cincinnati.
Beyond my personal experiences of studying with Philip he has quite an amazing spiritual and work resume, which I can pass along if anyone has interest or you can come next week and meet him in person!
I hope to see you there next week, until then
peace & many blessings

- Experience Mother Divine June 28th & 29th in Cincinnati
The Divine Mother is seen as the creator aspect of the physical realm in most every spiritual tradition. This is no different in the Hindu Tradition. To experience her is one of the highest experiences one can have in this physical realm since she is the point where the unmanifest manifests into creation. This experience is what Philip will be bringing to Cincinnati, one of two locations (the other in Laytonville CA) for the first of a 2 part process, which will culminate in Laytonville in Northern California in Mid-September. Swami Kaleshwar, a young enlightened teacher of the highest degree & Philips Spiritual teacher (Kaleshwar.org), will be traveling from India to Laytonville, to conclude this rare process. This Process is open to anyone and does not require them to give up or adopt any new religious traditions, which is the beauty of it. This will be quite an amazing opportunity for the residents of this fair city and region!
If you would like to learn more please contact Braden or come to the Salon next week 6/18 and hear Philip speak about the process. Braden Trauth

Taking Torture to TASSC
Following UN Torture Abolition Day there will be a 24 hour vigil sponsored by Torture Abolition Survivor Support Coalition opposite the White House, on Saturday June 28 to Sunday, June 29; Washington, D.C.
As our nation struggles with the realization of our complicity in the use of torture for political purposes, sisters of the Ursuline Society are inviting friends and concerned citizens to join us in peaceful public protest.
Inspired by the experience of Ursuline Sister Dianna Ortiz, who founded a Center for receiving other torture survivors, we choose to witness to the injustice of these practices, to state our moral outrage, and to demand a change of national policy.
Sister Dianna, founder of TASSC, in her book, The Blindfold's Eye, recounts her experience of torture as well as her effort to work with the US government in identifying the details of her case.
Google TASSC for information on this ministry.
Contact Sr. Pat Brockman for details on this venture at 513.541.4559,or pcbrockman@gmail.com.
