A wild riot of colour as thousands celebrate London's Gay Pride Parade 2011. London 02.07.2011
This Saturday July 2nd 2011 saw the explosion of colour and fabulous carnival/cabaret fancy-dress which is the annual Gay Pride parade passing through the packed London streets as many Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender groups representing special interest campaigning groups, trade unions, the armed forces, police service, christian groups and several of London's gay bars and clubs celebrated their sexuality and diversity, watched and cheered on by tens of thousands of enthusiastic members of the public.
The days celebrations were purposefully snubbed by London mayor Boris Johnson much to the anger and irritation of many, since Mr. Johnson is expected to show support for all Londoners. However, his greatest opponent in the upcoming mayoral elections, former London Mayor Ken Livingstone was to be seen - as always - at the head of the parade, accompanied by human and gay rights activist Peter Tatchell.
Gone was the nervous tension of the original trail-blazing Gay Pride marches of the late 1970's and early 80's, as a new generation of gay people enjoy far greater public acceptance of their lifestyle in what feel like more enlightened times. What is taken for granted now was fought for in the past by courageous activists and their political supporters who wanted to see an end to the homophobic bigotry and institutionalised discrimination which used to be the universal public position towards them.
Having said that, there was a demonstration set up at the bottom of Waterloo Place by a group of so-called Christians from the Baptist Church - some of whom looked like they had been time-warped directly from the 1950's, complete with emotional constipation - who spent the entire afternoon insulting and demeaning all gay people and anyone who accepts homosexuality as a part of the enormously wide spectrum of human sexuality by cherry-picking snippets from the Bible completely without proper context, and generally showing themselves up to be nothing more than a bunch of hate-filled bigots who hilariously claim to love the people they were standing there belittling.
My photos of the Baptists and the crowd's reactions to being assaulted by the pious abuse are already uploaded in my set "Baptists preach intolerance at Gay Pride Parade".
After the parade made its way from Portland Place to Trafalgar Square, the marchers and bystanders alike dispersed into Soho for some serious street partying which lasted late into the night. There was a main stage in Trafalgar Square which hosted a long rosta of minor-league pop and dance acts during the afternoon, though oddly this year there were no big-name headliners, and another Dance Stage in Soho Square which featured a great line-up of club DJs.

This asana gives a good massage to the abdomen so it cures prolonged constipation, dyspepsia and other disorders of the stomach.
Health enthusiast W.K. Kellogg began producing his famous “Kellogg’s Corn Flakes” in 1906. After that, ready-to-eat cereals transformed the breakfast meal for children as well as adults.
During the 1920s, FDA developed methodology to determine the bran content of cereals in order to take action against “exaggerated and false claims.” By 1929, this 1926 ad for Kellogg’s PEP cereal, describing it as a “laxative bran food” and claiming that bran “helps keep off constipation” would have made it a target for misbranding charges.

Rectal Prolapse is a condition in which the rectum or a part of it, slip down from its normal place, and extrudes out of the anal region. While it is not always an urgent problem. However, if the condition is for long period, it can get worse. The purpose of the procedure is to restrict prolapse, restore excretion function and prevent it from causing constipation or incontinence. Rectal Prolapse is mostly common in women (particularly above 50 years) than in men. Healing Hands Clinic has treated more than 5k surgeries.

Hemoroidy – wylecz zanim będzie za późno!
Wbrew powszechnemu przekonaniu ma je każdy z nas. Bo hemoroidy to nie choroba! To struktury naczyniowe odpowiadające za wypróżnianie się. Z chorobą mamy do czynienia dopiero, gdy się powiększą,
a stanowi temu towarzyszą pieczenie, świąd i krwawienie. Co...
He was the most beautiful newborn I ever saw (said with the biased
stand of a proud parent!) I thought babies were supposed to be all
purplish and wrinkled when they first arrived. Sean was powdery fair
with rosy cheeks. Perhaps it's got something to do with his being
carried to full term. In fact, he arrived two days after his e.d.d..
Whenever people ask me how the labour went, I would say it's just like
a bad case of constipation or menstrual cramps. Then again, my labour
only lasted about 4 and a half hours from the time I woke up at 3am and
discovered the 'show'. Got Weng Cheu to time my contractions and
realised they were five minutes apart. Finally!
One thing I know - the laughing gas didn't help with the contractions.
What worked better was hubby's advice to not concentrate on the pain. I
remember trying hard to distract myself with nice beautiful thoughts.
Strangely, an expense of green pasture kept cropping up in my mind.
The best advice I can give to would-be mothers is that squatting helps.
In a bid to clear my bowels once and for all, I squatted on the bed pan
in the delivery ward, and discovered that the dull aching sensation on
my back which accompanied every contraction disappeared. So, when the
next round of contraction came, I anchored myself piggy-back style onto
Weng Cheu, who sat at the end of the bed and pushed like I was having a
severe bout of constipation. When the nurse next came in to check on
the dilation, it had increased from 2cm to about 8cm! All that was
needed after that was simply to wait for Dr Phyllis Liauw to come and
burst the water bag!
Out with the amniotic fluid burst baby, before doctor had time to make
a snip. Imagine the tear ... jagged and reaching down all the way! So
for the short labour that I enjoyed, I suffered for the next three
weeks from the stitches.
I remember crying to hubby in the maternity ward (after all the
visitors had left) but once the nurse wheeled in our precious bundle
for breastfeeding (make that TOTAL breastfeeding) I simply tell myself
that all the pain was worth it!

Digestion:
The right contact points on the body can also stimulate digestion. Traditional Chinese medicants used to use the treatment procedures to treat digestive problems like flatulence, diarrhea and constipation. As a result, the benefits of acupuncture become apparent in treating the digestive system as well.

On April 16, 1865, John Pemberton was wounded at the Battle of Columbus, the last official battle of the American Civil War, and soon became addicted to morphine. Attempting to cure his addiction, Pemberton eventually developed "Pemberton's French Wine Coca", made of coca, kola nut and damiana, and offered to "scientists, scholars, poets, divines, lawyers, physicians, and others devoted to extreme mental exertion" as a way to solve "nerve trouble, dyspepsia, mental and physical exhaustion, gastric irritability, wasting diseases, constipation, headache, neurasthenia and impotence". However in 1885, Fulton County (Atlanta) went dry, causing Pemberton to scramble for a new way to sell a non-alcoholic version of his drink. With the help of druggist Willis Venable, Pemberton eventually developed a way to mix his base with carbonated water, which with the help of marketer Frank Robinson, was renamed, "Coca-Cola".

alternative title: constipation
went to a bodybuilding show last weekend ... very surreal experience ...
the colors are obviously not quite right, although most of the participants had fake tans and looked funny ...
Poor little guy was just clogged up.
This has given me pause to wonder if my life as a chronic under achiever has been due to chronic childhood constipation? I guess that's as good an excuse as any.
Thought I'd look more fierce in B&W... a guy at work said I don't pull off being mad very well. I think I have the reputation of a pussycat. I guess there are worse things I could be.

My assistant Beatrice, happily collecting pollen at a local park.
The flower is the notorious exotic punctureweed, Tribulus cistoides, bane of bare feet, paws and bicycle tires. However, honey bees LOVE this plant and it's nutritious pollen. Punctureweed has also been used medicinally to treat such ailments as headache, nervous disorders, and constipation. The Genus name Tribulus is of ancient Roman origin and refers to a weapon called a caltrop, used to slow the advance of human troops and their mounts. The seeds of Tribulus species are similar in shape and have much the same effect.
