FIRST WARNING SYSTEM: The first warning systems along North America's West

only 4 EPA stations.  

It is crucial to understanding this because official statements from experts

 The people of Japan should be given priority

 protect against thyroid cancer following 
 inhalation of radioactive iodine.
 
 Given the fact that Japan is thousands of miles 
 from the United States, it is highly unlikely 
 that Americans would be exposed to radioactive 
 iodine from direct inhalation of a plume from 
 the Fukushima nuclear complex. Direct inhalation 
 is the kind of exposure that potassium iodide 
 pills would be most effective against.
 
 Regardless, there are reports that global 
 supplies of potassium iodide pills are being 
 depleted because Americans are buying them, 
 prompting fears that there will not be adequate 
 supplies in Japan in the event of a larger 
 radiological release.
 
 Besides inhalation, another way Americans could 
 be exposed to radioactive iodine is if 
 agricultural products were contaminated. 
 Radioactive iodine could be ingested by dairy 
 cows, for example, and then would be 
 concentrated in milk. Potassium iodide, however, 
 would not be an effective countermeasure in that 
 situation. Moreover, federal and state health 
 authorities would test for such contamination 
 and could take products off the market if 
 necessary.

 The most vocal critics of the Union of

 organization harbors a liberal 'pro-regulation, 
 anti-business' agenda. In 2004, the conservative

 UCS an 'unlabeled left-wing activist group'; in 
 2007, the watchdog's founder L. Brent Bozell 
 reiterated this assertion. In 2009, the 
 conservative website NewsMax described the UCS 
 as a 'left-wing' organization that 'receives 
 substantial donations from liberal-leaning 
 foundations.' Libertarian author and television 
 personality John Stossel has also accused the 
 organization of having a 'left-wing' agenda.
 
 In 2006, two physicists associated with the 
 American Physical Society criticized the UCS for 
 not supporting a government-run nuclear waste 
 reprocessing program. The UCS has also been 
 criticized by skeptics of global warming. In 
 2007, the conservative think tank Capital 
 Research Center accused the UCS of waging a 
 'jihad against climate skeptics', and 
 televangelist Jerry Falwell even cautioned 
 Evangelical Christians against 'falling 
 for...global warming hocus-pocus' propagated in 
 the mass media, with the UCS 'leading the 
 charge'.
 
 Dunno about anybody else, but any organization
 criticized by NewsMax as having a liberal 'pro-

   SERI-Worldwide 
   What  the Mayan Elders are Saying About 2012 by Carlos  Barrios

  
   
 
   Carlos Barrios, Mayan  elder and Ajq'ij (is a ceremonial priest and
 spiritual  guide) of the Eagle Clan. Carlos initiated an  investigation into
 the different Mayan calendars  circulating. Carlos along with his brother
 Gerardo  studied with many teachers and interviewed nearly 600  traditional
 Mayan elders to widen their scope of  knowledge. 
 
 Carlos found out quickly there were several  conflicting interpretations of
 Mayan hieroglyphs,  petroglyphs, Sacred Books of 'Chilam Balam' and various
 ancient text. Carlos found some strong words for those  who may have
 contributed to the  confusion: 
  
 Carlos Barrios: Anthropologists visit the  temple sites and read the
 inscriptions and make up  stories about the Maya, but they do not read the
 signs  correctly. It's just their imagination. Other people  write about
 prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say  that the world will end in
 December 2012. The Mayan  elders are angry with this. The world will not
 end. It  will be transformed.
 
 We are no longer in the World of the  Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the
 World of the Fifth  Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of
 transition. As we pass through transition there is a  colossal, global
 convergence of environmental  destruction, social chaos, war, and ongoing
 Earth  Changes.
 
  
 He continues: Humanity will continue, but  in a different way. Material
 structures will change.  From this we will have the opportunity to be more
 human.  We are living in the most important era of the Mayan  calendars and
 prophecies. All the prophecies of the  world, all the traditions are
 converging now. There is  no time for games. The spiritual ideal of this era
 is  action.
 
  
 Carlos tells us: The indigenous have the  calendars and know how to
 accurately interpret it -- not  others. The Mayan Calendars comprehension of
 time,  seasons, and cycles has proven itself to be vast and  sophisticated.
 The Maya understand 17 different  calendars such as the Tzolk'in or
 Cholq'ij, some of them  charting time accurately over a span of more than
 ten  million years.
 
 
 All was predicted by the mathematical  cycles of the Mayan calendars. -- It
 will change  --everything will change. Mayan Day-keepers view the  Dec. 21,
 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World  of the Fifth Sun. It will be
 the start of a new era  resulting from and signified by the solar meridian
 crossing the galactic equator and the Earth aligning  itself with the center
 of the  galaxy.
 
  
 At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the  first time in 26,000 years the Sun
 rises to conjunct the  intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the
 ecliptic. This cosmic cross is considered to be an  embodiment of the Sacred
 Tree, The Tree of Life, a tree  remembered in all the world's spiritual
 traditions.  
 
 Some observers say this alignment with the heart  of the galaxy in 2012 will
 open a channel for cosmic  energy to flow through the Earth, cleansing it
 and all  that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of  vibration.
 Carlos reminds us: This process has already  begun. Change is accelerating
 now and it will continue  to accelerate. 
 
 If the people of the Earth can  get to this 2012 date in good shape without
 having  destroyed too much of the Earth, we will rise to a new,  higher
 level. But to get there we must transform  enormously powerful forces that
 seek to block the  way.
 
  
 The date specified in the calendar Winter  Solstice in the year 2012 does
 not mark the end of the  world. Many outside people writing about the Mayan
 calendar sensationalize this date, but they do not know.  The ones who know
 are the indigenous elders who are  entrusted with keeping the  tradition.
 
  
 Carlos tells us: The economy now is a  fiction. The first five-year stretch
 of transition from  August 1987 to August 1992 was the beginning of the
 destruction of the material world. We have progressed  ten years deeper into
 the transition phase by now, and  many of the so-called sources of financial
 stability are  in fact hollow. The banks are weak. This is a delicate
 moment for them. They could crash globally, if we don't  pay attention. Now,
 people are paying  attention.
 
  
 The North and South Poles are both breaking  up. The level of the water in
 the oceans is going to  rise. But at the same time land in the ocean,
 especially  near Cuba, is also going to rise. Carlos tells a story  about
 the most recent Mayan New Year ceremonies in  Guatemala. He said that one
 respected Mam elder, who  lives all year in a solitary mountain cave,
 journeyed to  Chichicastenango to speak with the people at the  ceremony.

[FairfieldLife] MERS and the mortgage mess

2011-02-18 Thread m2smart4u2000

The banks cannot legally foreclose because they did not record title changes
property. They have divided title using MERS as their local county recording
office. Your servicer (who you pay your mortgage to) is NOT the same as the
owner of the note. Underneath that servicer, the notes are bundled and sold
multiple times. In order to keep that more discrete, the banks use MERS to
record the change in ownership. The homeowners are challenging the banks right
to foreclose. The judges are state by state ruling in favor of the homeowner
because what the banks did by avoiding proper change in title is lose their
right to enforce the mortgages. When the banks foreclose they make back most of
their money (at least 92%) which, in most cases is insured by fannie mae or
mortgage insurance. When the foreclosure is done, banks go to fannie mae and
say, where's my money If banks can't foreclose then they will lose all the
money on the homes and as more homeowners are underwater they realize that the
best business, financial decision is to walk or challenge the banks. This has
snowballed and there is no way the banks can fix it now. They cannot go back
and redo the title as that is akin to back dating a legal document.In Florida,
in just one week, the banks dismissed (did not challenge) 1500 lawsuits against
them. This week, a judge ruled against the main legal office doing foreclosures
in Florida for flawed processes and told them that they could not foreclose or
start over on the process. That legal office fired 568 employees the following
day. If the banks can't get their money back from fannie mae, because they
cannot foreclose, they will crash.

Here's a simple explanation
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-14/merscorp-has-no-right-to-transfer-mortgages-u-s-judge-says.html
MERS ruling in NY which is very significant being that the judge basically
ruled the MERS is not a legal entity and has no rights.

 the charts predicted their lives, how the principles of
 astrology apply. You then presumably use that knowledge

[FairfieldLife] Joran Van der Sloot Jyotish

2010-06-06 Thread m2smart4u2000

http://bignews.biz/?id=880612pg=1keys=astrologer-vedicastrology-Van

Joran Andreas Petrus van der Sloot (born August 6, 1987 at 10:38 PM in Arnhem, 
Netherlands) is a Dutch national who lived in Aruba. He is charged in US 
related to the whereabouts of Natalee Holloway, who disappeared in Aruba on May 
30, 2005, and is the main suspect in the murder investigation of Stephany 
Flores Ramirez, who died on May 30, 2010, in Lima Peru, exactly five years 
after Holloway's disappearance. 

According to Vedic Astrology Joran is a Pisces ascendant ruled by Jupiter, with 
ascendant degree at 6 degrees 54 minutes. The ascendant lord of an astrology 
chart tells a lot about the character of a person, whether a person is a killer 
or a criminal or a thief or a business person or a spiritual person. When the 
Ascendant lord in any astrology chart is connected with the Badhaka 
(obstruction) house, 8th house  12th house through constellations 
(nakshatras), and is placed in that part of the zodiac ruled by planets which 
are significators of Badhaka house, 8th house and 12th house, the person will 
be a killer, a criminal or a thief, and will not be fair to other people in 
their dealings. Since Joran is a Pisces ascendant, so the 7th house of 
relationships is a Badhaka house in his astrology chart. The Ascendant lord 
Jupiter is in Ketu's constellation, and Ketu is placed in the Badhaka house in 
Mercury's sign. Ketu is in 7th house, it represents Mercury the Badhaka planet, 
and Mercury is in 12th lord Saturn's constellation. Ketu is in 5th house lord 
Moon's constellation, which represents sex and love affairs. As the ascendant 
lord Jupiter is connected with Badhaka house, 12th house, and 5th house at same 
time so the astrology chart clearly indicates Joran is a killer, and is 
involved in sex trade profession.

For Pisces ascendant Mercury rules the 7th house which is the Badhaka house, a 
killer house. Venus rules 8th house of punishment, and Saturn rules 12th house 
of confinement. In Joran's astrology chart almost every planet is either in 
Mercury's constellation or Saturn's constellation or Venus's constellation, the 
three evil planets for Pisces ascendant. This indicates the person will be a 
killer, a very unfortunate person in life, and will spend considerable amount 
of time in confinement. In order for a person to spend time in prison, the 
significators of 3rd house (leaving one's home), 8th house (punishment by law, 
fine), 12th house (confinement), and of course the significators of Badhaka 
house must operate in their lifetime through mahadasha, Bhukti  Anthara. Joran 
has many planets in his astrology chart connected with these houses. Joran was 
going through Venus mahadasha (3rd  8th lord in the constellation of 12th lord 
Saturn), Mercury bhukti (Badhaka planet in the constellation of 12th lord 
Saturn), and Saturn anthara (12th lord in the constellation of badhaka lord 
Mercury), when he was arrested in connection with the disappearance of Natalee 
Halloway in May/June 2005. Finally he came out of Prison in December 2007 for 
lack of enough evidence, when Joran entered Mars bhukti in Nov 2007. Planet 
Mars saved him last time as Mars is the best planet for Pisces ascendant 
because it rules 2nd, and 9th house . Then Joran remain outside prison during 
Rahu and Jupiter Bhukti's in Sun mahadasha, as Jupiter is the ascendant lord 
and Rahu is in Jupiter sign. Last year in November Joran came under the 
influence of Saturn Bhukti, the ruler of 12th house in Badhaka planet Mercury's 
constellation. Moon anthara, the significator of 3rd and 8th house operated in 
Mercury's Bhutki starting May 31st, 2010 when Joran became the main suspect in 
the murder investigation of Stephany Flores Ramirez, who died on May 30, 2010.

This time Joran is in deep trouble because he is in Saturn bhukti, the ruler of 
12th house in Badhaka planets Mercury's constellation, and transit Saturn is 
aspecting the transit Jupiter, the ruler of Joran's Pisces ascendant at this 
moment. Transit Saturn is going to aspect transit Jupiter couple of times until 
March 2011. So this will be a difficult time for Joran, and the planetary 
energy is indicating prison time for him. Transit Saturn will aspect natal 
Jupiter, the ascendant lord in the months of Nov/Dec 2011, a very bad time.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Backyard Chicken Economics: Are They Actually Cost-Effective?

2010-06-04 Thread m2smart4u2000

Raising chickens has never really been about the cost effectiveness. I have 
seven chickens. Raising chickens is for self sufficiency. If the economy 
crashes more then we will need to be responsible for our own food. Although you 
buy feed for chickens, I think this is greatly over emphasized, afterall, there 
are wild chickens who are not given feed daily.Feed stores would have you 
believe that you cannot raise chickens without it. I just feed my chickens the 
skins from a butternut squash, which they devoured. Eggs may become the new 
currency.

 If you haven't noticed, there's a nation-wide underground craze
 for backyard and urban chickens, to which I too have fallen prey.  Yet
 the farmer in me has not yet smothered the MBA.  The following is an
 objective analysis of whether or not the output of backyard chickens can
 ultimately re-coop the costs.  The answer was surprising, and
 I have produced 5 key recommendations for economically raising backyard
 chickens.
 
 Friends frequently ask me whether or not raising my hens is
 cost-effective.  Everything I've read on the subject in
 blogs and books says NO.  Instead, enthusiasts emphasize personal
 satisfaction and pet-potential.  These are no doubt the true goals of
 backyard chicken-raising.  Yet I am weary of deflecting this common
 question, and I am happy to further study my birds.  Not to mention that
 my personal flock serves as a wonderful test case.  I raise two hens
 (the minimum flock size) in New York City (the most costly and crowded
 environment).  If I can do this cost-effectively, anyone can!

 I'll address assumptions as we go, but it is important to note that
 I have sought to save money whenever possible, using found objects and
 substituting my labor for fancy equipment.  The most significant example
 is the chicken coop itself.  Good wooden chicken coops for small flocks
 sell for $300-450.  Yet it would take a long time to recoup that money. 
 I was about to join those ranks, until I found, the dresser. . .
 
 Returning home from a night on the town, I came across a solid wooden
 dresser down the block.  With a weekend of work, I turned her into a
 chicken mansion

I was once married to someone who is bipolar and he has taken meds.  for many 
years.The crucial point to me was that the patient needs a really good 
psychiatrist who can find the right medicine. There have been great advances in 
medicine for depression and I'm sure that many of them do not hurt your 
experience. When someone is really managing their illness, they know the signs 
of a depression comming on and at that point it is more crisis management and 
good spiritual experience is not as much the foucs. When in maintenance mode 
one can reduce medicines and work closely with a good doctor and have good 
experience as well as add other alternative practices to help reduce the 
occurence of depression. Russ England is a great psychiatrist/governor in 
Fairfield. He is up to date on the advancements. I think the problem for many 
is the affordability of a really good psychiatrist. Insurance often pays half 
the bill and one visit could be $300 or more.
With bipolar illness, a person may seem very enlightened with the high (or is 
it manic depression?)... anyway the mania, or good experience makes it appear 
that they are very evolved and nothing bothers them. then depression can set it 
and this is very contrasting. My X had his first depression in his twenties. I 
think the lack of having prior experience of depression can leave one 
ill-equipted to know what to do. I was at a total loss the first time I saw him 
go into depression. Education is key to knowing what do to.

My X manages his bipolar very well. Because we have kids together and it is 
often inherited, we have educated them on the disease. He recently felt the 
depression coming on again so he made an urgent appt with his doctor and his 
meds were adjusted. His depression improved with the adjustment. With the 
advancements in this illness and his good doctor he does pretty well. The 
problem again for many is 1. Not having the where-with-all to get to a good 
doctor immediately. Had I understood this first time around, I would have 
forgotten the stigma of mental illness and got him into a good pschiatric 
hospital. 2. the affordability of a PSCHIATRIST. When I hear of someone taking 
PROZAC, i squirm. I think it is a generic type medicine. (not sure tho) The 
first medicine prescribed to my X, had no affect, then he got onto lithium (21 
years ago) and it was like a miracle drug. He could not focus or do any work 
due to his depression but after a few days of lithium, he was able to do work. 
Being able to focus and do work, at least gave him something to do, other than 
think about how terrible he felt. This was the beginning of recovery.

 Same illness, different terms for it.
 
 Great post.
 
 One thing's for sure, if a person is clinically depressed
 (whether as one pole of bipolar disorder, or just by
 itself), they're not likely to have much in the way of
 good spiritual experiences (if they even have the
 motivation to do their practice). So they're most likely a
 lot better off taking the medication (if it works), even
 if it does interfere with spiritual experiences. If the
 practice is effective, it should be doing the person some
 good even if it feels flat.
 
  anyway the mania, or good experience makes it appear that
  they are very evolved and nothing bothers them.
 
 One of the big problems with bipolar disorder, in my
 understanding, is that the manic phase feels so good the
 person may stop taking their medication, thinking they
 don't need it any more. And then the mania is likely to go
 completely out of control. It's difficult to get the 
 dosage balanced so it keeps the person in between mania
 and depression.
 
  then depression can set it and this is very contrasting.

The housing market is not going to improve anytime soon with the Wall Street
Journal and other prominant financial papers advising people to walk away from
their mortgages. Our area is down in value about 33% with in many cases is
$100,000.

It is estimated that at Least 25% of people in default are strategic defaults.
This is unprecedented in history. The only way out of this is for the banks or
federal government slash the debt/ principle on these loans.

Wall street journal

More homeowners are opting for 'strategic defaults'
Underwater on their mortgages and angry at banks, more borrowers are choosing
to hand over the keys, even if they can afford the payments.
March 17, 2010|By Alana Semuels
Wynn Bloch has always dutifully paid her bills and socked away money for
retirement. But in December she defaulted on the mortgage on her Palm Desert
home, even though she could afford the payments.

Bloch paid $385,000 for the two-bedroom in 2006, when prices were still
surging. Comparable homes are now selling in the low-$200,000s. At 66, the
retired psychologist doubted she'd see her investment rebound in her lifetime.
Plus, she said she was duped into an expensive loan.

The way she sees it, big banks that helped fuel the mess all got bailouts while
small fry like her are left holding the bag. No more.

There was not a chance that house was ever going to be worth anywhere near
what my mortgage was, said Bloch, who is now renting a few miles away after
defaulting on the $310,000 loan. I haven't cheated or stolen.

Time was when Americans would do almost anything to hang on to their homes. But
that commitment appears to be fraying as more people fall behind on their loans
while watching the banks and lenders that helped trigger the financial crisis
return to prosperity.

Nearly one-quarter of U.S. mortgages, or about 11 million loans, are
underwater, i.e. the houses are worth less than the balance of their loans.
While home values are regaining ground -- median prices rose 10% in Southern
California last month to $275,000 compared with a year earlier -- they remain
far below the July 2007 peak of $505,000.

Many homeowners are just coming to grips with the idea that prices will take
years to reach the pre-crash peak: as long as 14 years in California, according
to economist Chris Thornberg.

Stuck with properties whose negative equity won't recover for years, and
feeling betrayed by financial institutions that bankrolled the frenzy, some
homeowners are concluding it's smarter to walk away than to stick it out.

There is a growing sense of anger, a growing recognition that there is a
double standard if it's OK for financial institutions to look after themselves
but not OK for homeowners, said Brent T. White, a law professor at the
University of Arizona who wrote a paper on the subject.

Just how many are walking away isn't clear. But some researchers are convinced
that the numbers are growing. So-called strategic defaults accounted for about
35% of defaults by U.S. homeowners in December 2009, up from 23% in March of
2009, according to Luigi Zingales, a professor at the University of Chicago's
Booth School of Business.

.Millions of Americans are now deeply underwater on their mortgage. If you're
among them, you need to stop living in a dream world and give serious thought
to walking away from the debt.

No, you shouldn't feel bad about it, and you shouldn't feel guilty. The lenders
would do the same to youin a heartbeat. You need to put yourself and your
family's finances first.

How widespread is this? More than 11 million families are in negative
equitythat is, they owe more on their home than it is worthaccording to a
report out this week by FirstAmerican Core Logic, a real-estate data firm.
That's a quarter of all families with mortgages. And for more than five million
of those borrowers, the crisis is extreme: They are more than 25%
underwaterthe equivalent of having a $100,000 loan on a property now worth
just $75,000 or less. That's true for a fifth of mortgage holders in
California, nearly a third in Florida and an incredible 50% in Nevada.

Are you in this situation? Are you still battling to pay the bills each month,
even when it may make little financial sense to do so?

It's time for some tough talk.

Stop trying to chase your lost equity. That money is gone. Don't think like the
gambler who blows more and more cash trying to win back his losses. That's how
a lot of people turn a small loss into a big one.

And do

And what broken promise specifically do you feel justifies your 
broken promise regarding confidentiality? 
Using the word movement creates a broad context. I think you should 
stay on track with advanced techniques and your privacy agreement 
regarding  that technique and the contract with that entity. You made 
a legally binding contract, do you dispute that? People are always 
whining after signing a legal contract. I suggest complaining 
beforehand or don't sign the contract if you don't like it. There is 
no give and take in a contract.If you were of legal age and signed

I am sure you promised not to reveal the techniques and that you

with the results of them.

Even if you divorce yourself from someone,you don't go  speak all

you allow the techniques that you promised to protect to be discussed

 Your point is not without merit. I do feel a bit squeamish when 
people start
 revealing mantras and techniques. I have occasionally deleted posts 
when
 something was said that left a permanent record on the net 
embarrassing
 someone. For instance, there was a fellow in town who had some 
mental
 problems and there were some posts about him here which his mother 
didn't
 want him to find. So she asked me to delete them and I did. I also 
have to
 contact the webmaster of a mirror site and have him delete stuff, 
which is
 an imposition. But if I agreed to delete everything which the TMO 
didn't
 want posted, it would be a full-time job. That info about the 
mantras and
 techniques is posted elsewhere on the web, in numerous places, so 
having it
 on FFL is merely redundant. I want to maintain freedom of speech 
here, and
 that means that very few things are going to qualify for censorship.

I understand your desire for freedom of speech but the limit comes 
with your responsibility to the promises you made and the intention 
of this website. Alot of the stuff I don't really care about, people 
vent,have different opinions about ayurveda, chopra, stapatya veda 
etc. If those opinions bothered me, I wouldn't read the messages 
here.Allowing posting of the  details of techniques makes you 
squeamish for a reason. Listen to your gut reaction and keep the 
promises you agreed to. I realize that that imformation is available 
on certain other sights, however the point of those sites is 
extremely anti TM. They want to completely destroy the movement and 
the revelations are intentionally to hurt. That is not the object of 
this website.

I am sure many of you have seen him already. When asked about the 
environment he said that many changes in the Bush administration were 
through executive order and the first job of his attorney general would 
be to review all executive orders since he can rescind them. He spoke 
about the same with regards to our civil liberties. He said most of the 
violations were through executive order. He said  that if Iraq cannot 
get its act together to govern itself with five years of our help, it 
wasn't going to do it. He will have the troops out within 18 monthes 
and that makes 7 years for Iraq to learn self government. 
I really feel like he is there to represent the people truly. Yahoo.

[FairfieldLife] Lou's predictions for 2008 including Maharishi

2008-01-11 Thread m2smart4u2000

Maybe you already saw this:
http://www.yogavisionaries.com/future.php
So, with all that has been said here are the predictions for 2008. 

Some of the predictions I made for 2007 will continue on through the 
end of 2009. The first contact of UFO landings of a large kind I am 
predicting will be from June 2009 through the beginning of 2010. This 
is not a guarantee because they will not have a mass landing if the 
auric field of the earth is still filled with stress and fear. 

However, the spring of 2009 brings about a very spiritual energy that 
is much different than what we have felt over the last eight years. 

The Political energy is starting to percolate. In 2008 a new 
Presidential candidate will take on the highest seat of the land. I 
am predicting that Hillary Rodham Clinton will not only win the 
Democratic nomination but will choose Senator Barak Obama as her 
running mate and this team will represent the next eight years of 
politics. 

The reason that Hillary is going to win is threefold. 

Firstly, Pluto is moving into Capricorn for the first half of 2008 
and returning by the end of 2008 and strongly influencing 2009. Pluto 
belongs to Scorpio. Hillary is not only a Scorpio but she has 
transiting Pluto moving into her 7th house of public recognition 
where it has not been since she started her political career. This 
gives her the needed personification of power to gain attention. 

The second reason for her winning is the 7th house also rules one to 
one partnerships and marriage so Bill Clinton becomes the main backup 
supporter during her campaign. Not a bad person to have on your side 
if you want to win an election. He will be in one state campaigning 
for her while she is in another. 

Thirdly, the Goddess energy becomes stronger as Pluto moves into 
Capricorn and tears down the old model of patriarchal domination. 
Pluto belongs to Shiva and in the Hindu religion Shiva is the 
spiritualizer or transformer. What appears to be death and chaos on 
the surface is Shiva pouring his energies into the government bodies 
of the world and allowing a new model of government to be formed for 
and by the people. 

Since Pluto will be transiting (moving) through Capricorn in the 
beginning degrees for the next couple of years Hillary Clinton could 
find herself inheriting a mess as she starts off 2009 as the next 
president. I predict that America will be in a recession by the time 
the November of 2008 election starts. 

Pluto rules petroleum oil and we could see problems with terrorists 
worldwide attacking oil reserves to the point that it drives the 
price per barrel up and we are paying over $5.00 a gallon or more 
when all is said and done. This could happen in the spring or summer 
time of 2008. And when you have a recession, high energy costs and a 
war going on all at the same time during an election who is to blame? 
The Republican president which means the Republican party has no 
chance. 

By the spring of 2009, Hillary and Obama will try to form grassroots 
organizations and also work with already established organizations to 
solve most of the stress and imbalances that an unhealthy economy can 
create. Creating villages everywhere of 50 to 100 people that network 
with each other on a daily basis. Bartering service for service and 
moving away from a co-dependent relationship with the federal 
government and the IRS. Moving away from a taxing system to one that 
is self sufficient by allowing people to exchange energy with one 
another as a service oriented model of sharing rather than taking and 
owning. 

When this happens the energy will be freed up and the stress levels 
will diminish and prepare for a mass landing of UFO´s from other 
races. The Pleiadians at this point are the most protective of planet 
earth and will be working with all of the governments of the 
intergalactic councils and the government bodies of planet earth to 
set up a much different life than what we have seen over the last 
26,000 years. 

This is not a guarantee. The collective madness needs to be calmed 
down and stabilized before we can have a mass contact. Therefore, 
this whole scenario could get delayed as it has in the past. A mass 
landing was predicted by Sheldon Nidle in 1995 and 1996 and it has 
not happened. We have a better chance of it happening in the summer 
of 2009 and if not then we may have to wait till 2012 or 2015. 

We have seen instability in the elements regarding tornadoes, fires, 
earthquakes and floodings. This will continue but we have seen the 
hurricane season soften. The prayers and meditations from everyone 
are changing the aggressive behavior of Mother Nature. The world 
still awaits a massive tsunami in the pacific basin that will push 
Lemuria back up to the surface of the ocean. This will reveal a huge 
chunk of history. 

As Neptune and Uranus continue their mutual reception we will 
continue to see spiritual grassroots organizations grow. Knowledge of

There is this senseless chatter about mercury retrograde. I have 
been observing its affect on my life for a long time since I have 
exalted mercury prominently in my chart. I have signed several major 
contracts during mercury retrograde, having full knowlege of the 
retrograde motion. Our instincts about our own lives are probably 
better than the predictions. I listen to the jyoitsh, but move by 
instinct. One review I read about mercury retrograde said that it is 
a chance to Re view something in our lives. RETRO in MIND or 
mercury is simply like going back, transcending something old 
and redoing it. After I read that I thought, OK that is why I re-
financed my house in mercury retrograde even though one is told not 
to sign contracts. Signing an auto purchase agreement during mercury 
retrograde, was for me a different kind of review. It makes more 
sense to me in retrospect and that is why I think it is better to 
trust our instincts not fear. The planetary effects are very 
personal.

  also, Fairfielder David Hawthorne has this to say:
  Mercury transits Libra from 12:39 to 04:43
  and moves away from the aspects of Saturn and Rahu. 
  Mercury is combust until Oct. 29, and retrograde until Nov. 1

   We are approaching toward worst volatile period like 1929 and 
 1987.
   I advise please stay alert and just watch market. 
   Hold cash as many will fall with fall of commodities, 
   stock market and hot bubble currencies.
   This will happen in the next two weeks.
   
   As predicted today all commodities will remain very volatile.
   Trading up can move down during the day 
   (This apply for metals, oil and grains).
   
   I mentioned in newsletter that today is the day to sell 
   Canadian and Australian dollar and yes once again I confirm 
that.
   Currently December contract are trading at $1.0243 and 0.9009.
   Dollar index trading stable and it should trade positive.
   
   I predicted major crash in all stock market from 18 October 
   so watch this date closely and plan your trades accordingly. 
   There will blood-bath in Asian market and may few of the market
   will close down for few days so watch carefully. 
   Get out from all position before 18 October including metals,
   Uranium and Alternative energy stocks.
   Coffee and cotton to remain positive.
   Thanks  God Bless

The typical process seems to be:
House in default (mayabe listed as a short sale on MLS)
House in foreclosure
Auction at foreclosure
Listed for sale through MLS
If not sold, goes to auction (bank owned auction)
the house I just watched had been purchased in 2005 for $130, 
foreclosed on, listed on MLS for $9lk and didn't sell, went to 
auction and sold for $56k (which i thought was high)
another similar situation the house sold for $25k and the buyers

  There is this senseless chatter about mercury retrograde. I have

have

probably

by 
  instinct. One review I read about mercury retrograde said that 
it is 
  a chance to Re view something in our lives. RETRO in MIND 
or 
  mercury is simply like going back, transcending something old 
  and redoing it. After I read that I thought, OK that is why 
I re-
  financed my house in mercury retrograde even though one is told 
not 
  to sign contracts. Signing an auto purchase agreement during 
mercury 
  retrograde, was for me a different kind of review. It makes 
more 
  sense to me in retrospect and that is why I think it is better 
to 
  trust our instincts not fear. The planetary effects are very 
  personal.

 Thanks.  But see that works for you because you're into those kind 
of 
 things.  It reminds me of the time right after I became a TM 
teacher 
 that there was an Amway craze going through the movement.  What 
I 
 learned from that experience was that I'm not a salesman and the 
people 
 who did good at Amway would have done good selling widgets too.   
It has 
 to be in your blood.
 
 We all have personality types which aren't even transcended if 
you're 
 enlightened.  When I worked for a tech company that went public 
the 
 artists in the company were complaining that they didn't know what 
to do 
 with their stocks (401K even) and thought they were as much a 
curse as a 
 blessing.   This drove the more left brain people nuts who 
couldn't 
 understand them.  Now if they had held on to their stock and sold 
it 
 today even with meager options they would be retired today because 
the 
 company was sold and over the years that companies stock has split 
 several times and is worth a whole lot.  But not even the most 
savvy 
 investment counselor would have told any of us to hold on because 
tech 
 companies were a huge risk and really only rose later on during 
the tech 
 bubble.  If we held on that stock could have just as easily become 
 worthless too.
 
 BTW, what year was that house built?  I'm in the Bay Area and my 
1962 
 built house is still worth close to $500K even though the market 
has 
 softened a bit (my neighbor who was the selling agent for the 
house 
 tells me it is back to pre-boom normal business).   That is 
because 
 some folks who bought further out are able to buy further in to 
reduce 
 their commutes.  Around here $56K would get you a tool shed.  :)

yeah we have seen the same thing here. Ashland market has somewhat 
held its price at well over $200 per square foot while medford (10 
miles away) has dropped more in value. I see much less sales but not 
a huge drop in value.(either that, or sellers are adamantly refusing 
to drop the price, hence the house just sits on the market)
 The house I refered to was a remote old logging area called butte 
falls and the house was 1194 square feet in bad condition (mostly 
easy to fix). This is one area where, at that price, you could rent 
the house for it's mortgage payment without much negative cash flow. 
As far as knowlege in real estate, I kind of fell into it but 
continued to educate myself. One has to love what they are doing to 
contiune with a passion. 
I have been doing accounting and legal work in Real estate for over 
4 years for LLC's, SubS, 401k, including rentals, fixer-uppers, 
development etc.  I was kind of wondering WHY i was doing this. BUT 
now i get it because i am poised to create my own deals. when you 
have to make something clear legally and tax-wise, you have to GET 
IT. Meanwhile, my chart is saying, great big money, play big. 
There is that side that nature put me there and that side

the

   thought of, if it is thought of at all, as a problem that has 
  mostly 
   been solved, like smallpox or polio. In truth, malaria now 
 affects 
   more people than ever before. It's endemic to 106 nations, 
   threatening half the world's population. In recent years, the 
   parasite has grown so entrenched and has developed resistance 
to 
 so 
   many drugs that the most potent strains can scarcely be 
 controlled. 
   This year malaria will strike up to a half billion people. At 
 least 
  a 
   million will die, most of them under age five, the vast 
majority 
   living in Africa. That's more than twice the annual toll a 
  generation 
   ago.
   
   The outcry over this epidemic, until recently, has been muted. 
   Malaria is a plague of the poor, easy to overlook. The most 
   unfortunate fact about malaria, some researchers believe, is 
that 
   prosperous nations got rid of it. In the meantime, several 
  distinctly 
   unprosperous regions have reached the brink of total malarial 
   collapse, virtually ruled by swarms of buzzing, flying 
 syringes
   
   To witness the full force of malaria's stranglehold on Zambia, 
 it's

   copper is Zambia's primary exportand into the forested region

the 
   Congo. This is the North-Western Province. It is almost 
entirely 
   rural; many villages can be reached only by thin footpaths 
worn 
  into 
   the beet-red soil. A nationwide health survey in 2005 
concluded 
  that 
   for every thousand children under age five living in the North-
   Western Province, there were 1,353 cases of malaria. An annual 
 rate 
   of more than 100 percent seems impossible, a typo. It is not. 
 What 
  it 
   means is that many children are infected with malaria more

  once 
   a year.

Thanks for posting this Bob. There is a contradictions in his

difference
  certainly wont bring a flurry of resistance, it will just be an
  obvious fact that we can work out together...
  
  C: A few years before he became Shankaracharya, the old sage 
made one
  of his rare ventures out of the wilderness. It was at this time 
that
  Maharishi saw him in a procession and the experience was 
something
  like spiritual love at first sight. Maharishi, a twenty-year- old
  student, felt an overwhelming desire to be near and serve the 
great
  master.
  
  Me: In his taped account he came to see Guru Dev in a house at 
night
  for the first time and caught a flashy glimpse when a car 
headlight
  illuminated his face. There was no procession.
  
  C: He sought out the Guru Dev who told him to first finish his
  education and then come. Two years later, having earned his 
degree,
  Maharishi headed for the monastery of Jyotir Math in the 
Himalayan
  religious center of Badrinath, there to devote his life to the 
Guru
  Dev, to serve at the feet of my master. And this he did for 
thirteen
  years until the swami passed on.
  
  Over the years, Maharishi would be asked hundreds of times to 
talk
  about his past. Reporters were especially curious. But his 
answer was
  always the same: Once you take the vows of the monk, past life 
is

  He told me long ago that when you become a bramachari, or monk, 
you no

What these banks do is charge you all the interest up front. 
   
   The banks are not front-loading interest. They are charging

interest on 
  the
   outstanding principal. No more, no less. As the principal

  This is true for short term loans only, not 30 year fixed loans. 
 
 Not true. The principle is the same. If you have a teaser low 
interest
 loan for the first 5 years, or an ARM, or other more complex loan,
 then its a slightly different structure -- but the principle is the
 same -- you pay interest on the outstanding principal. 
 
 You and the author of the link you gave appear to feel that because
 initial interest payments are more than principal in the first 
years
 of the mortgage, that it is front loaded. Thats an odd 
definition of
 front-loaded. Front loaded traditionally means paying MORE interst
 than is warranted by what is due on remaining principal. 
 
 Create a payment and interest stream in Excel or Google SS and you
 will understand whats going on. 
 
 I have put  an excel ss that mimics your case in the FFL files
 Service. Actual interest does not sink to the level of principal
 until year 21. But that is NOT front loading in the traditional
 finance sense of the word.
 
 
 
  
  It appears on my statements that the interest IS frontloaded for 
  example on a loan of $117,000, for two years now, I've paid 
$20,000 
  in iterest and $3000 in principle. The $900 a month I'm paying 
is 
  paying off mainly interest first for the first ten years 
  (approximately). If I were to increase the principle amount of 
  payback, they would recalculate the interest and it's true that 
a 
  higher percentage of the principle would be coveredt. Mark
  
  http://www.refinance-refinance.net/2006/04/10/mortgages-for-
dummies-
  mortgage-term-length.html 
  
  
   For example, in the last boom phase of the real estate market,
   interest only loans were prevalent --- at least they 
  were interest
   only for the first 5 years or so of the loan. Thus, for a 
$100,000
   principal, $6,000 of interst would be paid (assuming annual 
payments
   -- a simplification for this example.) For five years, no 
principal 
  is
   paid off.
   
   On the other had, a 30 year loan requires / allows the payment 
of 
  the
   same interest as above, plus some repyament of principal, 
structured
   so that the full principal is paid off in 30 years. Again 
following
   the same principle, that interest is charged on the outstanding
   principal in each payment period. 
   
   A 15 year loan pays back more principal each payment period. A 
5 
  year
   loan even more so.
   
   If you want to pay less interest, simply pre-pay down your 
principal
   each month. If the mortgage payment is $1000, pay that, plus 
$500/
   month principal paydown. You will end up shortening the term 
of the
   loan -- and end up paying less interest.

I am really astounded that anyone would get a loan without 
understanding the legal loan docs or having an amortization 
schedule. this stuff is very basic math and simple excel document 
stuff. Mortgage lenders are required to give you a truth in lending 
statement. Anyone who gets a loan, signs a slew of legal docs, 
promissory notes etc. If you are mature enough to sign for a loan, 
it seems that you should know what it means. I am kind of tired of 
the big wa about loans. Read before you sign. ASk questions 
before getting the loan. This is very very basic stuff.

 principal, $6,000 of interst would be paid (assuming annual 
payments
 -- a simplification for this example.) For five years, no 
principal is
 paid off.
 
 On the other had, a 30 year loan requires / allows the payment of 
the
 same interest as above, plus some repyament of principal, 
structured
 so that the full principal is paid off in 30 years. Again following
 the same principle, that interest is charged on the outstanding
 principal in each payment period. 
 
 A 15 year loan pays back more principal each payment period. A 5 
year
 loan even more so.
 
 If you want to pay less interest, simply pre-pay down your 
principal
 each month. If the mortgage payment is $1000, pay that, plus $500/
 month principal paydown. You will end up shortening the term of the
 loan -- and end up paying less interest.


Your loan payment goes up, your principal goes down and your taxes 
go up, you chose.

   Hi,
   
   I'm new to this list, so I hope the following post is 
 appropriate. 
  It is 
   also somewhat lengthy, for which I apologise - conciseness was 
  never my 
   strong point. But I am in search of a spot of advice, and 
 wondered 
  if anyone 
   here could help...
   
  Hi John, I've been meditating (TM) 2x every day since 1975, and 
  experienced insomnia from time to time. I've found that some 
  vigorous exercise like jogging a few miles really helps. Also, I 
  don't know what your diet is like, but have also found that some 
  heavier food helps the sleep issue.
 
 I don't think anybody has asked him whether
 he's tired during the day. At one point I went
 through a period of insomnia where I wasn't
 getting much sleep at night, but I didn't feel
 tired during the day, didn't even fall asleep
 in meditation, so apparently I was getting
 enough rest.

See a doctor. If you are really insomniac, none of this advice will 
help you one bit.

This whole commentary is on the level of logic and thinking and even 
though it has a value, it is just not expansive enough to evaluate 
Maharishi's work and destiny. 
My favorite quote remains, there is no right or wrong, only the 
will of God
Although we have intellect and logic to evaluate, it will always 
fall short of really knowing whether or not someone is doing the 
will of God.
Just like in the Mahabharata, when Krisna tells Arjuna to strike 
beneath the knees (or something like that), those who did not 
realize that God in the form of Krisna had given that  command, (and 
that command  was against dharmic law)exclaimed what has the world 
come to now, even Arjuna, who is the embodiement of dharma has 
broken the law. those in the know realized that Arjuna was 
performing right action, the will of God, which is the highest 
action and most dharmic (even if it breaks man-made law)
Who knows the truth? Only your hairdresser knows for sure.

 Is interesting that even with even with paying people 
 to meditate, bringing by the hundreds hire-ling 
 student pandits from India, giving the sidhi's away 
 in exchange for practicing in the domes, they can 
 not get the numbers in the dome.
 
  According to the plan I (Raja W.) have mentioned 
 before, another 500 Pandits will be arriving over 
 the next few months, bringing the total here to 
 1,000. This number of Pandits will assure that there 
 will always be more than the Super Radiance number 
 of 1732 Yogic Flyers necessary to maintain permanent 
 invincibility for America.
   
Mayor and 'Raja' Wynne says it and confirms it all right 
there.

Strong commentary on the predicament of Maharishi at the 
end.  
Where did his meditators go?  
  
  On the whole, they followed his lead. They holed
  up somewhere safe and let other people worry about
  (and work to relieve) the problems of the world.
  
Used to be thousands would show up on a phone call.  
  
  Back when Maharishi still had an ounce of credibility,
  and more important, still had the ability to inspire 
  others without bullying, scaring, or threatening them.
  
Now, a few hundreds?

What could he have said or done otherwise to get this 
going with his old TM'er movement?  What went wrong 
for Maharishi?
  
  I think that those who are interested in this question
  might benefit from a reading of (or re-reading of)
  Hermann Hesse's Magister Ludi: The Glass Bead Game.
  It's the story of a long-term spiritual tradition
  falling apart because its leaders holed up inside
  the walls of their monastery and 1) stopped having
  anything to do with the unspiritual people outside
  the walls, 2) stopped even *listening* to these
  unspiritual people outside the walls, and 3) stop-
  ped listening to anyone who *was* inside the walls
  who suggested that they should do more for those
  outside of them. It's the story of a spiritual
  movement gone mad from self-indulgence and the
  focus on its own self-importance.
  
  As the focus shifted away from actual teaching of TM
  (which involves and *requires* daily interaction with
  the great unwashed, the people outside the walls of
  the ashram, the self importance of the TM movement
  and its core followers grew larger and larger, at
  the same time that the minds and the compassion of 
  these core followers grew smaller and smaller.
  
  Cutting a check so that *other* people could interact
  with the great unwashed and teach TM became prefer-
  able to interacting with these lesser-evolved people
  oneself. And lo, cutting a check was rewarded with
  strokes from the guru, and with proximity to him. 
  Other followers, brought up on the shining example
  of Trotakacharya and others who supposedly realized
  their enlightenment through nothing *but* proximity
  to the guru looked at this phenomenon and made the
  obvious (to them) choice. Why work our butts off in
  the field catering to these people who are so much
  less evolved than we are when we can gain proximity

Just found this. I was interested in your post because I just look at 
what is happening in the sky and compare it to how I am feeling. I 
just got to the point of I have had it with the kids not cleaning up 
and just about skewered (sp) my kids. So, naturally, I want to see 
what other influence might be going on other than MY OWN STUFF. 

By the 25th when Mars conjuncts Neptune we will want to be very 
careful what we say and do. The combination of the drive and energy of 
Mars with the deceptive ability of Neptune can lead to results that 
are unexpected and not what we set out to do as we go off the deep end 
in pursuit of our dream. Neptune can confuse Mars and create a 
situation where we or others are sacrificed for a cause. This can also 
lead to self-destructive behavior, particularly since Saturn is still 
in range of both Mars and Neptune and attempting to set boundaries 
wherever possible. Fortunately, Mars moves quickly and by the end of 
March this influence will have passed.

On March 31, Pluto will turn retrograde for the first time since last 
year. This is significant because it will move back to its conjunction 
to the Galactic Center in July and then again in October for one final 
time

I thought that it occurs in Mercury so doesn't it affect Mercury?
I have exalted mercury, my yoga karaka something or other. Plus 
mercury is retrograde. I do not necessarily find that mercury 
retrograde is a bad thing. I have signed contracts during periods of 
retrograde that I felt had good results. Now we will have an eclipse 
in mercury.??

 Men throughout the ages have all of this pride in celibacy. All of

 through channeled 7th dimensional masters is that Guru Deve was 
not a life  
 long celibate. You cannot have one side of the coin without the 
other. Balance  
 is the key, not complete denial about your shakti energy. If
 one is to ascend then one much embrace the root chakra as well as 
the  
 others. Also, the goddess energy
 is in a state of denial when you avoid the sexual aspect of life. 
Men have  
 denied themselves the goddess and the goddess has felt ashamed of 
its sexuality 
  because men are threatened by her power. So they told her
 she should be ashamed. In the higher worlds of the fifth, sixth 
and seventh  
 dimensions it is normal to exchange energy with others on a daily 
basis. They  
 are more concerned with upper charka climax. The climax they 
experience 
 through  the crown chakra is 100 times more powerful and enjoyable 
than the genital 
  climax. On earth we are primarily concerned with genital climax 
and this 
 limits  our appreciation for the sexual experience. As we continue 
to grow in 
 higher  states of consciousness we will eventually be more drawn 
to a 
 neurological  climax. Until then we have to process our limited 
view of sexuality till we 
 can  achieve a new approach to love making. Those who have a lot 
of sexual 
 energy and  enjoy the fantasy of love making or pure sex should 
not be ashamed 
 as they  process there own experiences through masturbation or 
with another 
 human being.  Ideally one would be processing their stuff with 
another spiritual 
 human being  and work together to develop a more enlightened 
aspect of 
 sexuality. Tantra Yoga  offers a start to this type of experience 
but the emphasis on 


 saving energy and  controlling the experience is not a part of a 
higher 
 teaching of Tantra. Love  and Light. Lou Valentino.

Good post. When the ego is attached to the IDEA of celebacy and 
there is pride and effort involved then this is mood making. 
The holier than thou idea of celibacy is a contradiction to 
enlightenment.
Effort and moodmaking is equivilant to suppression, and that creates 
disease.
