For a while this was great. I ‘rented’ space for a few hours on a donation basis at the local union/socialist/anarchist shared loft space. A few of the events drew 30-40 people, but then numbers started to drop after a while, now we get maybe 6 if we are lucky. After a while, I started to question what it was good for if not many people chose to show up for the events. I also questioned if the amount of money for transportation, parking, snacks and picking up the rest of the donation for the rental space was worth it. A recent estimate made it seem as if I was spending 40-60 dollars per event. The great people I met, the Burners, the artists, poets, writers, activists, college students, shamans, and creative neo-pagans have certainly enriched my life.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Always my efforts were tied to presenting ideas that could “turn on” (not necessarily sexually, but more in regards to activating life) someone through the ETHOS and content covered by Evolver… Joseph Campbell discusses my method best in “Fire in the Mind” when discussing his students and Sarah Lawrence where he would talk and present new ideas constantly and encourage excitement and exploration when he saw it. Realistically in an exoteric context, this may be as good as it gets…. Or maybe it could get better with multiple learning paths…. exploration and record keeping will fill this content area with good knowledge. Maybe this is why we want to call the events Spores, many attempts at expansion, until it spreads, unifies and expands, as is the case in Mycology.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The whole notion behind Evolver as I see it is to help bridge the gap between artist, spiritual and activist communities. It is similar to coalition building, but with no specific goals other than willing the transformation from scary society on a bullet train towards Armageddon, to a society based on principals of justice, enlightened self-interest, and evolution. The goal with Evolver for me was to help ideas incubate with people, so that they eventually would connect with the thing that they wanted to contribute to society. I could see that this happened some, and it was heartening, but something was lacking, and I’m not sure what that was.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">At this point, I still have a strong calling to coordinate Evolver events, and will continue to put them together for a while. Brian George, a frequent contributor to Reality Sandwich (a website related to Evolver) has given me a number of ideas that should help grow the group over time. We are thinking about having a sort of brief open mic format where members can on a first come first serve basis speak on whatever subject is coming up for them at the time. This will take some adaptation on my part to help facilitate this shift, as our old format was quite different.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Themes I personally will be encouraging and design events around are philosophy, spirituality, environmentalism, transition movements, the fortean (Is the fortean the new theology or just a freak show?) and perhaps the Psychedelic (primarily as it related to Holotropic Breathwork). In the future I’ll expand to a sort of holistic vision, covering more optimal diets, yoga, energy work, and so much more. Its been a little longer than a year so far that Evolver Boston has been in effect… Lets see where it goes from here.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851506765729541241.post-78528198894713119572010-06-13T22:12:00.007-04:002010-06-13T22:50:16.792-04:00Peak Everything?

The global economy is based on never ending expansion, and due to <a href="http://www.peakoil.net/">peak oil</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm7lxwKgO5I">water</a> (video), and <a href="http://reason.com/archives/2010/04/27/peak-everything">resources</a>, humanity is faced with tough and dire questions.<br /><br />How do we go forward from this? I think re-localization through the model of <a href="http://transitionus.org/">Transition Towns</a> is one of the most positive ideas that is being acted on around the world to make real change.<br /><br />In the summer of 2009, I wanted to get some training on the model. I did some email magic and Tina Clarke (a long time activist) came to Boston to give a weekend workshop called 'Training for Transition'. Here I got to meet plenty of people who were also looking at this data, and wanted to take some sort of action. This workshop gave hope.<br /><br />The model (oodles of details <a href="http://www.transitiontowns.org/">here</a>) empowers local social movements from the bottom up. It is a permaculture based model for re-localization. People start small, and empower each other to do what they want to do on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">very</span> local scale. The closer to home the better. Great results have been had so far, and there are more transition initiatives happening every day.<br /><br />Personally I haven't started or been involved with a movement yet, primarily based on not knowing where I want to reside. In the near future, I may get the ball rolling locally in New Hampshire, but maybe my efforts will exist more on the internet side (other than my gardening at home).<br /><br />Tina Clarke and I are working to start a website titled <a href="http://transitiontogether.org/">Transition Together</a>. It is named after project that is currently active in UK neighborhoods. The aim is to have people work in small clusters to become more resilient, self reliant and community oriented. This is achieved by sharing crops, gardening tools, and machinery. I have a bunch of media (podcast photos and videos) begging to get on the site, and soon it will be. If you are interested and have any questions on the project, feel free to ask.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/05/peak-everything-8-things-we-are-running-out-of.php">Treehugger on Peak Everything</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://transitiontowns.org/uploads/Brighton/TransitionBrightonHoveLogo.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 313px;" src="http://transitiontowns.org/uploads/Brighton/TransitionBrightonHoveLogo.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851506765729541241.post-44722930795468356862010-03-18T13:47:00.001-04:002010-03-18T13:49:11.385-04:00My Film Project.Starting April 7th, I am making my way across the country to document permaculture sites, and people doing transition town work across the country. <br />The two spots I hope to visit at this point are CRMPI in Colorado, and The EcoVillage Training Center in Tennessee. The folks in Boulder who are doing transition work are heavily active in transition, so if time permits, I will visit with them and document their work. <br />For the film I am planning to showcase American permaculture leaders, their gardens, and their thoughts on the state of permaculture in 2010. It is also a primary objective to take footage of mature or maturing permaculture gardens. <br />The reason for putting this film together is to show that permaculture is exciting and works in our modern world. In order for permaculture to become more mainstream, videos and various types of media need to pervade the mindscape of mass culture. Making films is one positive way to do this. <br />I am very excited for this project to get rolling!

It also appears to be good for your teeth. A study published in the May/June 2009 issue of <em>General Dentistry</em> found that aloe vera gel worked as well as regular toothpaste to clean teeth and eliminate cavity-causing bacteria. What’s more, the study showed that the gel isn't as hard on the teeth as abrasive <span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.drweilblog.com/storage/post-photos/misc/aloe_vera.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1255976889094" alt="" height="144" width="217" /></span></span>toothpastes so may be better for folks with sensitive teeth or gums. However, one of the authors of the study warned that not all aloe vera gel will work - you need the kind that contains the stabilized gel located in the center of the aloe vera plant and that hasn’t been treated with excessive heat or filtered during manufacturing. One of the study authors notes that such processing destroys or reduces the effects of some essential enzymes and polysaccharides. To find a good aloe vera tooth gel, the researchers suggested checking with the International Aloe Science Council to review the products that have received its seal of quality.</p> </div> </div> <div class="journal-entry-tag-post-body-line1"><span class="post-comments"> <a href="http://www.drweilblog.com/home/2009/10/27/aloe-vera-gel-for-teeth.html">link to original article</a><a href="http://www.drweilblog.com/home/2009/10/27/aloe-vera-gel-for-teeth.html#comments"><br /></a></span><span class="posted-in"><span class="tag-element"><a rel="tag" href="http://www.drweilblog.com/home/category/daily-tips"></a></span></span> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851506765729541241.post-60994524132444796152009-10-28T17:39:00.003-04:002009-10-28T17:42:08.726-04:00next stepsI have been thinking a lot lately about what is next for me. My current living situation is ending soon, which I'm grateful for. The last year has been lived in a state of high activity mixed with mucho limbo. It wasn't really going anywhere, and seemed like I was just existing from one perspective. <br /><br />From another angle, I have been helpful to the evolver movement, breathwork in Boston and a few other things along the way. With all of these things stacked up, it does make me feel as if I had some trajectory. What else could I be involved with to make my creative output more meaningful. <br /><br />So as for things that may be next. I'm thinking a few options. I tend towards hedonism to start... so I'm thinking Park City Utah wouldn't be a bad place to explore that. Explore the snow and Evolver / Transition town people in that region. Then I'm considering doing web design and various sorts of IT consulting for a while while there. <br /><br />After that... maybe hook up with the transition town folks on a more committed basis? They have an intensive training program in the UK and I think that may be a great thing to attend in the Spring. This would be one of the more committing things I could do in regards to working towards making a good dent in pressing enviro issues.<br /><br />Overall seems like a good path to me... I stand to lose some health insurance, but picking this up on my own may not be too bad....

I was so tired for a week after this trip, that I even had to go home sick once for fear of actually getting sick.<br />Incredible venue, and I'll certainly do it again. The best part was really seeing how happy everyone was to be around others who were into the music, shopping, drinking, learning about eco-stuff, and just overall having a good time.<br /><br />Triumph the insult comic dog really did his thing well there. Love him, lol. He was trolling the porta potties when I saw him trolling around. So funny.<br /><br />Sleep deprivation was really how the trip went for me, drank 2 beers the whole time which seem kind of lame to me, but there was no way I could have pulled off what I did while drinking/partying. Stayed up till 4am after only like 3 hrs of sleep the night before and 2-4 hours of sleep the following night. Really beat the shit out of myself that way, but the shows + awesome acts were worth it.<br /><br />Highlights included coheed and cambria, mars volta, wailing souls, random freakshows, bare feet, minimal sunburn, and the spontaneous art that poped up everywhere.<br /><br />Disapointments included: Bruce Sprinsteen and MGMT (especially bummed that they didn't meet my expectations). MGMT was actually the primary reason I wanted to go.<br /><br />Phish was good, but the Fenway (Boston) set I got to see was so much better that it didn't really seem to compare.<br /><br />I'm certainly going to return, but I'll tie it into a rock climbing trip and a longer vacation next time. Maybe I'll hook up with some existing "CAMP" to make the experience cooler/weirder.<br /><br />Only time will tell.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851506765729541241.post-71550850661468137882009-06-23T11:31:00.001-04:002009-06-23T15:37:54.633-04:00Bonnaroo line up list.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Jt5SvAPm6zob3m9quDBz3d0brbEVMtTXTEeOAtHSK94obc9Y6gQ-hpFq5oK0X82wFtdJuAdWReea_Ym7tZLCesaAxXj7HKnvxXQe5UJT9XCMNi4jOCOaHrLlzW_qwuwWDpDdaZhj_Xo/s1600-h/IMG_1467.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Jt5SvAPm6zob3m9quDBz3d0brbEVMtTXTEeOAtHSK94obc9Y6gQ-hpFq5oK0X82wFtdJuAdWReea_Ym7tZLCesaAxXj7HKnvxXQe5UJT9XCMNi4jOCOaHrLlzW_qwuwWDpDdaZhj_Xo/s320/IMG_1467.JPG" alt="" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0pt; clear: both; float: left;" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7SF2aPT9lN0y4aJdB7JKgAgcbyxwPyERvfO8_lGvKI6QZkJDUUIiCcOG52WDFJFqaXS53Uc67DA7FMTJwKFAgnTk-mdWOT0TctCDZyfWNdbvlGytPKrjXVS-Or2mU5xDMSCxTGKqK8hs/s1600-h/IMG_1469.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7SF2aPT9lN0y4aJdB7JKgAgcbyxwPyERvfO8_lGvKI6QZkJDUUIiCcOG52WDFJFqaXS53Uc67DA7FMTJwKFAgnTk-mdWOT0TctCDZyfWNdbvlGytPKrjXVS-Or2mU5xDMSCxTGKqK8hs/s320/IMG_1469.JPG" alt="" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0pt; clear: both; float: left;" border="0" /></a> Wailing Souls<br />Bon Iver<br />Booker T<br />Of Montreal<br />Wilco<br />David Grisman Quintet<br />The Mars Volta<br />Bruce Springsteen<br />Lovell Sisters<br />Everest<br />MGMT<br />Moe<br />Decemberists<br />Citizen Cope<br />Erika Badu<br /> Andrew Bird<br /> Mearle Haggard<br /> Coheed and Cambria<br />Neko Case<br />PHISH<br />Yea Sayers<br /><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851506765729541241.post-84797071075839260082009-06-17T11:51:00.002-04:002009-06-17T11:52:20.074-04:00Bonnaroo 2009 - Dreddy Pharo Jazz flute dance<object width="425" height="344">Loved these guys.

To me, it seems to be one of the most crucial media outlets we have today. It may not be as popular as twitter and other social media outlets, but it does allow for newly generated content to be distributed in new and interesting ways. <br> Its an incredibly democratizing factor for media at a time when the world needs it the most. <br><br>Why I podcast, is something I've been trying to figure out for a while now. At first, I think it was to get a chance to talk to people in the occult world, and try to figure out what the hell they were talking about. My education was oriented towards western philosophy and eastern mysticism/philosophy. Coming into this western world of magic and alchemy, I was pretty confused and wanted to figure it out. The second part, was to try to meet people in the real world doing the work, and connect with them on a few levels that I wasn't connecting with my friends on. Education and connection, I suppose were my primary goals. Offering this content to the general public seems to me to be a necessary side effect of my desire to connect with authors and semi prolific personalities in the field. <br> <br>Goals... Its funny that I haven't thought formally of a goal for my show until over a year into it. Recently when I was interviewed for the Occult of Personality podcast, I came up with "getting people to challenge their belief systems" as an answer. This is cliche but acceptable, if I really mean it. Not sure if I do, but it seems like a worth goal. <br> <br>In the next few weeks, I'll try to come up with some sort of answer for myself on why I podcast and goals I have for the show. <br> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851506765729541241.post-48258771642154645342009-02-09T11:49:00.001-05:002009-02-09T11:49:29.428-05:00looks like dishwashers are greener than hand washing overall.<a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/01/built-in-dishwasher-vs-hand-washing-which-greener.php?page=2">http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/01/built-in-dishwasher-vs-hand-washing-which-greener.php?page=2</a><br> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851506765729541241.post-90759020318637204392009-02-02T12:31:00.000-05:002009-02-02T12:32:21.891-05:00SAAB FAIL<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQCuQ9LUfCoS10byCBYBG7Z5HcV19RAoHGFoGZu8AYy_5Plr2hvbZXPu2dKgjT9fkmVtKHPv_j79YltTDFrKXEsGqHxU2Ge6KJGrh_yBCXt8_Fkd498DANdZ6jfMiYTTIf36oAKyZw5sk/s1600-h/IMG_0668.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQCuQ9LUfCoS10byCBYBG7Z5HcV19RAoHGFoGZu8AYy_5Plr2hvbZXPu2dKgjT9fkmVtKHPv_j79YltTDFrKXEsGqHxU2Ge6KJGrh_yBCXt8_Fkd498DANdZ6jfMiYTTIf36oAKyZw5sk/s320/IMG_0668.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQ_K9uAPdq4VpNgeIjjBurojppoB5PYm4YPQnoBCYZsCzC7rnn9lljc5Tn5CtnOaTeUojg0H5OYYs4whU7JD5rM_3YMlJnHhF9NkE1Q1tEI6AdqTzWCIQCo4sEx2lYZy4dTJlvq4YOVY/s1600-h/IMG_0669.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQ_K9uAPdq4VpNgeIjjBurojppoB5PYm4YPQnoBCYZsCzC7rnn9lljc5Tn5CtnOaTeUojg0H5OYYs4whU7JD5rM_3YMlJnHhF9NkE1Q1tEI6AdqTzWCIQCo4sEx2lYZy4dTJlvq4YOVY/s320/IMG_0669.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizKmO0JcBPyS-0agEFWWKZiWKOp3JFvL6cOwe-7yHWWOZUOpdjYp1COIUGC9mC3AQ-0tTHUBTidCn-pbCGdaOp5XtqnpoG0E-FnRwvytYroYvOIKs-pg7JKWyWD-YWiyqrTnKNP6vedpM/s1600-h/IMG_0670.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizKmO0JcBPyS-0agEFWWKZiWKOp3JFvL6cOwe-7yHWWOZUOpdjYp1COIUGC9mC3AQ-0tTHUBTidCn-pbCGdaOp5XtqnpoG0E-FnRwvytYroYvOIKs-pg7JKWyWD-YWiyqrTnKNP6vedpM/s320/IMG_0670.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br />The SAAB failed inspection because of a broken headlight.

I had this issue for months. Then I finally loaded the builtin spam filter, and when I tried to run it, it crashed because it couldn't handle that much spam. Weeks went by and finally last night while watching Cloverfield, I realized that I knew how to use myPhpAdmin, a mySQL administrative tool. We learned all about mySQL in college. So after figuring out which DB mapped to which blog, I then browsed the comments and found the stash of 4000 spam comments. <br> <br>The sql browser enabled me to set the view to 1000 or more entries at a time, so I chose 1000 and began deleting everything after post 50. I killed them all but 500 and let the spam filter do the rest. <br><br>RIP SPAM. <br> <br>I may do a tutorial with screenshots eventually because I can't be the first person to have this problem.<br><br><br> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851506765729541241.post-91413904497132361462008-12-24T14:05:00.001-05:002008-12-24T14:05:06.980-05:00if your looking to do some freelance writing to get some extra moneyCheck out these links.

It is good. I'm not so sure it is a pale ale, but maybe a brown ale. IMO it could have used more hops, and this is my fault for not going crazy with them. The cracked grains certainly make an appearance in the flavor as well.<br /><br />So overall it is good and should get some people right and roudy next weekend.<br /><br />Check out these glorious pics of "SHERPA pale ale" beer.
