PALIN NOT!!!!!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mu_rqmFpL8[/youtube]

I will not go all the issues I have with this women, just the ones that are nearest to my heart!

Just for the record Palin makes me sick to my stomach....all about the family???? BULLSHIT.....as VP when would she have time to, really be a mother to her, what 5 kids? What about nontraditional families? WHO are we to question whether two people love one another! I won't even touch the whole pro choice vs pro life issue, I am extremely pro choice as long as it's not used as birth control, we have much better and cheaper methods for that! BUT I am against partial birth abortions, that is cruelty at its best, except in a life or death situation.
AND PLEASE don't get me started on the Animal issues....I understand the whole hunting thing being a necessary thing to keep populations down etc, for the health of wild animals. BUT someone that is for the savage and cruel aerial killings that she supports, when it come to predators (wolves, bears, polar bears, etc.) that feed and live off of the very prey that sport hunters pay large $'s to hunt in a place they do not call home, makes me sick. Yes, I understand that Alaska and other states welcome and count on the money sport hunters bring to their states, but lets face it these animals were here before us humans took over there habitats! Not to mention the whole Eco-system issue!!!!!
Okay any of you who know me well, know how I feel about wolves, so for Palin to put a bounty on all wolf forepaws turned in, of $150, on top of what the pelt brings which is around $200-300 makes me want to vomit!!!! Then as far as wolves are concerned the recent kill of a pack of 26 which included 15 wolf pups, which she condoned is just evil. BUT you don't have to believe me, do the research and look it up for yourself, find out what she is really like!
One other point and then I'm done......Look up how the Alaskan people feel about her, and these are the same people that voted her in to office as their Governor, but most will never vote for this "soccer" mom again! Check it out for yourselves!!!!!
Here is a video for your sickening pleasure:

This shows how scared the Republicans are for the American people to see the REAL Sarah Palin. They enlisted YouTube to pull a video down that had political ramifications for our country.

YouTube is in the tank for the Republicans and it is forcing us to go to other means to spread the truth about Sarah Palin.

This was the text from the original posting. YouTube called the video content 'inappropriate' even though we blocked the inappropriate visuals with text blocks provided by YouTube itself.

THE DO NOT WANT THIS INFORMATION TO GET OUT. SPREAD THE WORD.

THEY ARE AS SCARED TO DEATH ABOUT THIS - spread it, upload it and send it around to your mailing list. Put it on your blog, upload to wherever you can to get the word out.

Sarah Palin is not who she portrays herself to be.

** ORIGINAL TEXT **
Drill, Drill, Drill or Kill, Kill, Kill? For someone claiming pride and love for the beauty of Alaska she has a certain special way of expressing that love. What does the average American think of shooting from planes at dogs? Is it ok with you? ... bears?

The more we learn about her, the less she seems a moderate. Pushing for creationism to be taught in schools, eliminating a woman's right to choose (calling all Hillary supporters) - connections with the deep pocket oil industry, (yes, her husband works for a foreign oil conglomerate) - it goes on. Her choice for VP appears to have been thrust upon John McCain by the religious right so I guess John McCain really AIN'T the maverick he says he is. They screamed and raved that they'd have a fight on the floor of the Republican Party Convention if he didn't pick a pro-lifer - so I guess this election will affect women most of all.

You may have your belief about whether to have a baby or not, but if McCain Palin are elected, you can be sure the Supreme Court will make it impossible to make any choice about your own body. They will tell you what you can or can't do - and will force you to live with a rapist's baby inside you, even if it could be stopped the day after the assault with a morning after pill. Why? Because John McCain says the moment 2 cells join, it's legally protected and you would be a murderer. Plain and simple. She feels the same way.

So, let all of you women out there think very hard about your choice for President and Vice President this year. This election is going to affect you more than anyone. McCain thinks medical coverage should cover viagra, but not birth control. That's how much respect he gives women.

Think hard about it. If something should happen to you, even if it is entirely out of your control, you will be forced to live with it - from the day after the assault to 9 months. No exceptions for rape, or even incest. How many little girls will be hurt by this? He doesnt' care. She doesn't care. They are right wing puppets and the fact that McCain wasn't able to make his own choice for VP shows that winning the 'prize' of the Presidency is more important than his beliefs - and proves that even if you change the cover of the Republican Party, the book remains the same.*

detail on statistic
* A CBS News current story shows their survey released on the cusp of the Republican National Convention found that nearly 80 percent of Republican delegates APPROVE of Mr. Bush's performance as president, an approval rating more than 50 percentage points higher than his approval rating among all Americans, which stands at 28 percent. (Mr. Bush's approval rating among Republicans overall is 63 percent.)

on Florida Water

cat-bar

FLORIDA WATER

and

KANANGA WATER

Florida Water is a 19th century formula for a commercially-prepared toilet water (see below for a definition of toilet water) that blends an array of floral essential oils in a water-alcohol base. The name refers to the fabled Fountain of Youth said to have been located in Florida.

A similar toilet water is Kananga Water, which is built upon a foundation of essential oil of Cananga odorata, also known as Ylang Ylang (which may be closer to its pronunciation in its native growth region of Indonesia and adjacent areas). Commercial kananga plantations were established in Jamaica in the 19th century by the British.

Both Florida Water and Kananga Water are widely used in rituals of home protection and spiritual cleaning, to scent bowls of water set out for the spirits of the dead, as a basis for making an ink-dyed scrying water, and for other ritual and cosmetic purposes among people of African-diaspora descent in the United States and the Caribbean. A third 19th century commercial perfume with magical associations is Hoyt's Cologne, which is used among African-American hoodoo practitioners to draw gambling luck.

The specific blends of essential oils found in Florida Water and Kananga Water used to vary from maker to maker so there is no "one and only" way to make up these mixtures. Typical commercial formulas for both products can be found in any standard formulary in your local public library -- such as "Henley's Formulas," or "Fortunes in Formulas" by Hiscox and Sloane. (See below.) These days i know of only two commercial sources for Florida Water, Lanman and Kemp and Two Girls (a toiletry company in China) and two commercial perfumeries supplying Kananga Water, the Vandi Perfume Co. and Lanman and Kemp.

I used to make my own Florida Water and Kananga Water from recipes in commercial formularies, but i find that the Lanman and Kemp products are perfectly satisfactory and the labels are very familiar to users, so i now sell that brand in my shop and online.

Murray and Lanman Florida Water Cologne (actually now manufactured and distributed by Lanman and Kemp) has an old-fashioned Victorian-era style label -- very floral and rococo in slightly out-of-register pinks, reds, blues, and gold. It depicts a hodge-podge of isolated figures on a white background -- the Fountain of Youth, a woman with a bird perched on her hand, a troubadour with a lute, two parrots, two wreaths of flowers, flowers in a basket, ornamental leaves, etc. The bottles still have an old-fashioned long-necked shape, are embossed at the shoulder with "Murray & Lanman Florida Water -- New York," and are wrapped and sealed with silver foil on which is imprinted a spiral black-and-white trade mark notice in Victorian display lettering with a spread eagle in a stamp plus a handwritten signature ("Lanman and Kemp").

Lanman and Kemp also manufacture Florida Water Soap. This high-quality beauty bar has the same familiar floral aroma as the cologne and is wrapped in paper featuring the same lovely graphics as the famous bottle. Florida Water Soap can be used for physical as well as ritual cleansing of the skin.

Another brand of Florida Water -- Two Girls, from China -- also has a cool-looking label, featuring two girl children in Chinese costumes in a floral landscape, but i have never been able to get a wholesale line on it, and so i sell the Lanman and Kemp variety in my shop.

Murray and Lanman Kananga Water Cologne (now made by Lanman and Kemp) is similar in quality to Vandi Kananga Water, but the label is more attractive, so that is the brand i carry in my shop. It is another Victorian-rococo confection of floral motifs and scroll-work, centered on an image of a bunch of flowers and a waterfall. The container is less ornate, however, being a simple long-necked plastic bottle without embossing on the shoulder or foil wrapping on the neck.




"Florida Water" and the associated graphic label are registered trademarks of Lanman and Kemp. It is against the law to manufacture and market a product of that name or bearing that image. However, formulas for a variety of products once marketed as Florida Water have been published since the 19th century, and i get many requests for formula information from would-be mages who want to save a few cents and make their own. For the record, i think that making Florida Water or Kananga Water at home is somewhat of a fool's errand, because the Lanman and Kemp products, available from any good occult supply store, are of impeccable quality and reasonably priced. However, the following technical information is presented for the use of readers who wish to try their hands at perfumery. It is expected that before you begin such a task you familiarize yourself with the terminology, systems of measurement, and methods used in a laboratory. Please do not email me with requests for help in locating essential oils or lab equipment; i will not reply.

TOILET WATERS

From "The Ancient Book of Formulas" by Lewis de Claremont comes this basic information on how to distinguish perfumes, colognes, and toilet waters based on their relative percentages of essential oils, alcohol, and water:

   All perfumes contain alcohol to varying degrees. Most
important perfumes contain 2 to 3 ounces of oils per pint
of alcohol. Most domestic [cheaper] perfumes [and Colognes]
contain 1 to 3 ounces of oils per pint of alcohol.


However the amounts of essential oil or concentration is
determined solely by taste and price.


Toilet waters are just weak perfumes, generally containing 1
to 6 ounces of essential oil per gallon of alcohol. However
10% to 25% water is usually added according to the amount of
essential oils contained therein.

ALCOHOL USED IN PERFUMERY

From Hiscox and Sloane's "Fortunes in Formulas" comes this basic information on the proper type of alcohol to use in perfumery:

   The alcohol used should be that obtained from the
distillation of wine, provided a first-class article
is desired. It is possible, of course, to make a good
Cologne with very highly rectified and deodorized corn
or potato spirits, but the product never equals that
made from wine spirits. Possibly the reason for this
lies in the fact that the latter always contains a
varying amount of oenanthic ether.

COLOURING

It is traditional to dye Florida Water a pale aqua-green and Kananga Water a pale orange. These dyes are not necessary to the formulas, but if you intend to show the results of your experiments to others, their use will greatly enhance viewer recognition.

INCORPORATING GRAIN MUSK AND CIVET IN LIQUID PERFUMES

The formulas for Kananga perfumes below contain grain musk and/or civet. Hiscox and Sloane's "Fortunes in Formulas" provides the following basic information on the proper formulation of such ingredients in liquid perfumes:

   When grain musk is used as an ingredient in liquid
perfumes, first rub down with pumice stone, then digest
in hot water for 2 or 3 hours; finally add to alcohol.
The addition of 2 or 3 minims of acetic acid will improve
the odor and also prevent accumulation of NH3. Civet
should be thoroughly rubbed down with some coarse powder
and added directly to alcohol.
FLORIDA WATER #1
   oil of bergamot 3 fluid ounces
oil of lavender 1 fluid ounce
oil of lemon 1 fluid ounce
oil of cloves 1 1/4 fluid drachms
oil of cinnamon 2 1/2 fluid drachms
oil of neroli 1/2 fluid drachms
essence of jasmine 6 fluid ounces
essence of musk 2 fluid ounces
alcohol 8 pints
rose water 1 pint

Mix and, if cloudy, filter through
magnesium carbonate.

FLORIDA WATER #2

   oil of bergamot 3 fluid ounces
oil of lemon 1 fluid ounce
oil of ylang ylang 1 fluid ounce
oil of lavender 1/2 fluid ounce
oil of cinnamon 20 drops
oil of cloves 12 drops
oil of neroli 10 drops
alcohol 1 gallon
rose water 1 pint
(or distilled water plus light rose scent)

-- From my own personal notes, circa 1973, source
not attributed but apparently adapted from an old
formulary to use what i had on hand at the time.

YLANG YLANG PERFUME (Basis for KANANGA WATER #1)

   oil of ylang ylang 10 minims
oil of neroli 5 minims
oil of rose 5 minims
oil of bergamot 3 minims
alcohol 10 oz.

One grain of musk may be added

Dilute with distilled water to make a toilet water.

-- From "Manual of Formulas, Recipes, Methods, and Secret Processes"
edited by Raymond B. Wailes, B.S.
(Popular Science Publishing Co., New York, 1932)

BOUQUET CANANG (Basis for KANANGA WATER #2)

   ylang ylang oil 45 minims
rose oil 15 minims
cassie oil 5 minims
almond oil 1/2 minims
tincture of orris rhizome 1 fluid ounce
tincture of storax 3 fluid drachms
grain musk 3 grains
civet 1 grain
tonka beans 3 (chopped)
alcohol (90%) 9 fluid ounces

Mix, and digest one month, then filter. The
above is a very delicious perfume.

N.B. Cassie oil, also called cassie otto, is
derived from the flowers of Acacia farnesiana,
a.k.a. Mimosa farnesiana, L. (N.O. Leguminosae,
sub-order Mimoseae). It must not be confounded
with cassia otto, the essential oil obtained
from Cinnamomum cassia.

EXTRAIT D'YLANG-YLANG (Basis for KANANGA WATER #3)

   Essence d'ylang-ylang  24 grammes
Isoeugenol 4 grammes
Methyl-isoeugenol 2 grammes
Alcohol a 90 [degree symbol] pour 1 litre
-- From "The Ancient Book of Formulas"
by Lewis de Claremont
(Oracle Products Corporation, New York, 1940)

Note: Bouquet Canang, Kananga Perfume, and Extrait d'Ylang-Ylang are strong perfumes and as such may be diluted with 10% to 25% distilled water as outlined above to make them into Kananga Water.

when a wolf looks you in the eye and gives you kisses because she can't help herself is an amazing feeling...to be so trusted and loved by another creature who once was in such pain.
