Every Chinese Doctor I have been to says that I have cold energy in my stomach. So I am always willing to try anything to get rid of this cold energy. Rather than living a healthy life of constant physical activity, restricted computer use, and all the other modern things that we do to make us unbalanced creatures - I chose to put myself through ancient practices - like STOMACH FIREBURNING or MOXA (mugwart) steaming!!!!
So the philosophy behind fireburning is that the fire's heat will warm up your stomach - it will start moving the cold energy out and help you restore your yin energy. After 5 times of lighting a fire and putting the fire out on my stomach - I felt so wonderful. In between each fireburning, the doctor massaged my stomach - it's the best feeling in the world. It felt as if he was caressing every part of my large and small intestinal track and giving it lots of love and care. And the best part is that in the end- when the fire burning is done correctly - he takes off the saran wrap, medicine cloth, and starts Doggy Paddling down from the top of my stomach to the very bottom of my intestines - you can HEAR A RIVER of activity going on inside! it's totalllly FREAKY - I could hear a river gurgling - as if he was totally giving me a full plumbing system overhaul!
he said that when performed with the right type of fire shapes, the doggy paddling takes all the released coldness and moves it out.
the whole entire time I focused on using qi gong breathing techniques - because I am super sensitive to energy I could feel the cold air flowing out of the bottom of my feet.
But then for a few min before or after the process - sometimes I feel that I am inadequate as a human being when I do these things because it reminds me of how out of touch I am with my body, the earth, and the stars. So going to the Chinese doctor for me is like a form of rebirth and a bit of self-punishment (for not being healthy when I am living in the states). But then I think - is it only when I travel - when I'm farthest away from everything and everyone that I intimately know - is that the only time I feel that I can take care of myself without feeling guilty? Is it only when I am unreachable that I recover from everyday life in the states - when my family stuff is so far away that it is absolutely out of my control? Then I start thinking that's stupid tricia - peace is where you are - but sometimes I feel that the only way to really extract myself out of my own life is to leave the country and cross an ocean away. I wonder if this is a pattern of modern life now - middle class people overworking and then leaving for a few months every year or few years to prevent burn out and just to re-balance. It certainly has become a pattern in my life - is the amount of traveling we do equivalent to the amount of stress we have at home? sometimes I think so...
well anyways this is seriously the best form of self-punishment - when the doctor tells me that my yin-yang isn't balanced - it actually makes me really excited to become more balanced again. I am always excited for them to say - "ok here your energy is blocked, so that's why your hair is turning white or that's why your bowel movements aren't regular." When they tell me how unbalanced I am, I start thinking about how I can take better care of myself.
AFter fireburning, the doctor told me of all the herbs and foods that I should eat to heal my body. for example, I need to eat more lemon peels. This time the doctor told me that my health was pretty good, but my back and neck is messed up from years of sitting in front of a computer. Plus I haven't been meditating or dancing as much lately :(
So I love this herbal/ancient practice - only in china...only in china. In India I tried going to the medicinal doctor - I actually went to 3 of them because I really wanted to give it a chance - well each on told me that I was too much of a "pita" and they threw my naked body on a slap of hard wood and started dumping herbal oil on me and then the woman rubbed the oil on me forcing my bones into the wood table and I slid around like a dead fish - I tried to grab onto the wood but it was impossible! - may sound wonderful-(hmm hands + oil) BUT NOT!!!!!! it was painful and the worst part was that I didn't feel more balanced afterwards. SO I've decided China is the place for me to go for medicinal care.

When packaging a product or object for a #customer, there are a few tips for the company's sender that can help make sure everything goes smoothly even up to the point where the wrapping is discarded on the other end and the entire process is complete.
Finding the correct container or box is an essential first step. The occasional jostling happens during shipping, handling, and, finally, delivering, so items that are being sent in an envelope or box can require a small amount of "wiggle room" inside the enclosure, so a little airspace can mean the difference between a dented product and one in perfect condition.
A senior vice president of a supply chain said that the, "goal is to create the most dense inner cube possible while retaining the optimal out-of-box experience for the customer." Basically, a happy medium.
To properly and safely fill the void, there are a few methods for everyday items that may come in handy.
Packing #peanuts are cheap, light and can squeeze easily into tight spaces while still providing optimal support, but they have their downsides - static electricity, mess, and added difficulties in disposal.
As a project specialist for a shipping team says, Bubble Roll works well, too. The #airpockets that line the plastic sheet offer excellent cushioning, is easy to reuse and is very light, and doesn't give off static electricity. Bubble Roll has its cons, though, also. It is not fit to form, so shifting during transit is not uncommon. Professionals recommend taping the Bubble Roll down so it stays put, but once the air bubbles burst, the roll can no longer protect products from impact.
There is, however, a way to solve both the static electricity and burst-bubble problems: Packing paper. Using a heavyweight paper that doesn't easily compress can be a perfect substitute for preventing shipping woes, and it it reusable so the customer gets even more than they bought.
When it comes to exceedingly heavy items, important legal documents, or anything fragile, there are a few ways to utilize what's already in place to further prevent damage.
For delicate items or breakables, it can help to wrap another layer of defense, like Bubble Roll, around the item, fill the empty space around said item with either packing peanuts or more Bubble Roll, and then a "Fragile" sticker is placed on the outside of the shipping boxes. If there is more than one item, it can be important to pad them and then use a stretch wrap to ensure they stay together.
It is absolutely unacceptable to allow legal documents to get damaged in transit, so precautions must be taken. Using a flat #cardboard box, mailing tube, or a padded mailer that has rigid edges can assist in keeping those papers in their best condition.
With heavy items, like art, books, or furniture, all of which can move during the shipping and handling process and become dented or scratched, stabilization is essential for not only the items but the handler, who may suffer an injury from lifting improperly packaged boxes. Filling all of the airspace and then restricting the items with stretch wrap can help prevent issues or worries.
By using these tips, items can be shipped to a customer and arrive exactly as expected.

SDGW records that Serial number 7 C.Q.M.S Robert Gamble was Killed in Action while serving on the Home Front with the 2nd Garrison Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment. He was previously 8833 “R.LR.Rifles”. Robert was born St Mary’s Dublin and enlisted Dublin. No place of residence is shown.
The Medal Index Card for Serial Number 7 Acting Colour Serjeant Robert Gamble, Royal Irish Regiment, is held at the National Archive under reference WO 372/7/194690
discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D2280354
I could not find a record for the death of Robert in England and Wales.
Initially the SDGW unit didn’t make sense – the 2nd (Home Service) Garrison Battalion was raised in Dublin in March 1916 and remained there until April 1918 when it was renamed and moved to France.
A further search then turned up that Company Quartermaster Serjeant Robert Gamble was actually Killed in Action in Dublin during the Easter Rising. He was part of a party from Beggar’s Bush Barrack that was attempting to dislodge a party of Rebels who were sniping on the Barracks from the Railway Line.

On the day
Today in Irish History, April 26, 1916, The battle at Mount Street Bridge
In many locations during the Easter Rising, particularly at Jacobs Factory, the Four Courts and Bolands Mill, the Volunteers barely saw a British soldier all week. Rather their positions were isolated and bombarded from distance.
Where, however, the British assaulted Volunteer positions dominating the routes into the city, fighting was much more bloody. There they were drawn into street fighting, with its invisible snipers and sudden close range cross-fires, which negated their superiority in men and firepower. This happened mainly at three locations, Mount Street Bridge, South Dublin Union/Marrowbone lane and North King Street.
At Mount Street, on the approach to the city centre from the port at Kingstown (now Dun Laoghaire), a Volunteer outpost manned by only 17 men, armed with rifles and hand guns, faced the frontal assault of a battalion of British troops.
The rebels there, nominally under the command of Eamon de Valera in Bolands Mill, but under the direct control of Mick Malone, a twenty eight year old carpenter, had taken up their positions on Mount Street and Northumberland Road on Easter Monday, April 24. That day on Mount Street, a group of reserve volunteer soldiers, nicknamed in Dublin, the “Gorgeous Wrecks” (because of their advanced age and their tunics’ inscriptions ‘Georgius Rex’), unwittingly stumbled upon the rebel position and four were killed before they scrambled into safety at Beggars Bush barracks.
Had the rebels known of the weakness of the British garrison, they could have taken Beggars Bush barracks (held initially by the army catering staff and 17 rifles) with relative ease. As it was they occupied the stately Clanwilliam House – commanding the crossing over the Grand Canal – and two houses on Northumberland road, an upper class, leafy, red-bricked neighbourhood.
On April 26, they were faced by a British regiment, the Sherwood Foresters, just off the boat from a training depot in England, and so inexperienced that they had to be shown on the pier at Kingstown how to fire and reload their weapons. On top of that, they had left behind their grenades and their Lewis machine guns had been lost in the crossing. Marching up through the suburbs, they were warmly applauded by the upper class crowds still enjoying the Spring Show at the Royal Dublin Society, until they stumbled into the crossfire at Northumberland Road – between two Volunteers in house at number 25 (notably Mick Malone armed with a Mauser automatic pistol) and another four at St Stephen’s Parochial Hall. Ten soldiers were hit in the first attack.
Although there was an alternative crossing of the canal available just a street away at Baggot Street, which would have flanked the Volunteers’ position, General Lowe ordered that the bridge at Mount street be taken “at all costs”. For the rest of the day, at the sound of whistles every twenty minutes, waves of hapless troops, led by officers with drawn swords, charged up the Road, only to be shot down. By the evening, the road was carpeted with dead and wounded British troops, many moaning in pain and trying feebly to drink from their water bottles.

Throughout the battle the Volunteer positions were supported by sniper fire from Boland’s Bakery and the nearby railway tracks. Their actions kept the small British garrison in the adjacent Beggars Bush Barracks pinned down for the duration of the Rising. Sniper fire from each side resulted in many civilian casualties. Mrs Elizabeth Kane was shot dead and her daughter seriously wounded, as was Mr. Hayter, a local grocer. Mr C. Hyland who assisted the wounded Sherwood Foresters on the bridge was shot dead as he stood in the doorway of his house. A British officer, Captain Gerrard, stationed in the nearby barracks recalls,
One of the sentries in Beggars Bush Barracks, about Tuesday evening, said to me, ‘I beg your pardon, sir, I have just shot two girls.’ I said, ‘what on earth did you do that for?’ He said, ‘I thought they were rebels. I was told they were dressed in all classes of attire.’ At a range of about two hundred yards I saw two girls-about twenty (years old) – lying dead.

Some sources say that throughout the battle at Mount Street Bridge, the Volunteer positions were supported by sniper fire from Boland’s Bakery and the nearby railway tracks. Their actions kept the small British garrison in the adjacent Beggars Bush Barracks pinned down for the duration of the Rising. Other historical notes would suggest, however, that while De Valera had over a hundred Volunteers, only two streets away in Boland’s Mill, his command never reinforced the Volunteers at Mount Street.

On Wednesday, Captain Gerrard led a party in an attempt to get to grip with the “Sinn Feiners”.
“As soon as I got over the wall, at a range of about 200 yards, about eight Sinn Feiners advanced from the direction of the city to meet us. I saw them coming towards us firing. There was what they call a fairly sharp firefight. These men were standing up, not lying down. They came out of their trenches to meet us. They were very brave, I remember.”

One of my earlier sketches. One can actually see how difficult it was for me to let go of my sense of perfectionism. I keep clinging to details, and not in a good was. Nevertheless, I like this picture!
yesterday (13/12/14) afternoon at the hard Portsmouth see (LtR) B10BLE 66157 S357 XCR on a X4 to Southampton which a year ago would have been a Darts of the same reg but has 5 Scania Oimicitys branded and tends to use the unbranded aswell as it interworks with the X5 at Southampton to Gosport and used Stand D where the E400 is). The 2 which sees route 2 branded 47412 SK63 KMD a year ago these had not long arrived and before that it used a mix of dart SLF both Plaxton and Marshal bodies Solos and Step Darts behind that is a 14 plated Streetligh on a 1 which was a year ago and mix of mosty Scania Oimicitys, B10BLEs and Dart SLF Plaxtons. Next is the 700 which 10001 GX12 DXM is seen on a year ago this would have gone on the Southsea and run down lane 1 (where the X4 is) when going to Southsea and where its sat it would be heading to Brighton but now only goes to Felpham just the other side of Bognor. National Express has not changed much the same type has been used scene 2008 but some new coaches are used now being 62/63 reg. last is the ADL Enviro 400 33897 SN14 TRX on the Portsmouth Park and Ride which was being built a year ago and before there was a Saturday only Park and ride at north harbour using what ever Hoeford/hilsea had spare so anything low flow could be seen on it
