Card, in my experience an alkalyzing diet can help with any excess of this. It 
also helps keeps down systemic inflammation which is now being recognized as a 
sign of disease in the body.

Life After An EMP Attack: No Power, No Food,
No Transportation, No Banking And No Internet
By
Michael Snyder, on September 19th, 2011 




Most Americans do not know this, but a single
EMP attack could potentially wipe out most of the electronics in the United
States and instantly send this nation back to the 1800s.  If a nuclear
bomb was exploded high enough in the atmosphere over the middle part of the
country, the electromagnetic pulse would fry electronic devices from coast to
coast.  The damage would be millions of times worse than 9/11.  Just
imagine a world where nobody has power, most cars will not start, the Internet
has been fried, the financial system is offline indefinitely, nobody can make
any phone calls and virtually all commerce across the entire country is brought
to a complete stop.  A nation that does not know how to live without technology
would be almost entirely stripped of it at that point.  Yes, this could
really happen.  An EMP attack is America’s “Achilles heel”, and everyone
around the world knows it.  It is only a matter of time before someone
uses an EMP weapon against us, and at this point we are pretty much completely
unprepared.
The sad thing is that we are
spending hundreds of billions of dollars hunting down “terrorists” in caves on
the other side of the globe and we have been told that because of “national
security” it is necessary for our private areas to be touched before we are
allowed to get on an airplane, but our government is doing
essentially nothing to
address what is perhaps our biggest security vulnerability.
What would you and your neighbors
do if the power went out and it did not ever come back on?

What would you do if an EMP attack happened in the middle of
the winter and you suddenly were not able to heat your home any longer?

What would you do if all the
electronics in your car got fried and you simply could not drive anywhere?

What would you do if all the
supermarkets in your area shut down because food could not be transported
across the country anymore?

What would you do if you were
suddenly unable to call your family and friends for help?

What would you do if you were
suddenly unable to get the medicine that you needed?

What would you do if your debit
cards and credit cards simply did not work any
longer and you could not get any of your money out of the bank?

What would you do if all of these
things happened all at once?

A single EMP attack would be the worst disaster
that the United States has ever seen by far.

An electromagnetic pulse could
potentially fry the vast majority of all the microchips in the United
States.  In an instant, nearly all of our electronic devices would be
rendered useless.

Yes, the federal government knows
all about this.  The following excerpt is from an April 2008 report by
the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic
Pulse (EMP) Attack….

“The consequences of lack of food, heat
(or air conditioning), water, waste disposal, medical, police, fire fighting
support, and effective civil authority would threaten society itself.”

Most of us have become completely
and totally dependent on electricity and technology.  Without it, most of
us would be in huge trouble.

The following is how an article
in the Wall Street Journal described the potential consequences of an EMP 
attack….

No American would necessarily die in the
initial attack, but what comes next is potentially catastrophic. The pulse
would wipe out most electronics and telecommunications, including the power
grid. Millions could die for want of modern medical care or even of starvation
since farmers wouldn’t be able to harvest crops and distributors wouldn’t be
able to get food to supermarkets. Commissioner Lowell Wood calls EMP attack a
“giant continental time machine” that would move us back more than a century in
technology to the late 1800s.
It wouldn’t be so bad if we had
the knowledge and the infrastructure to live the way that they did back in the
1800s, but today that is simply not the case.
Dr. William Graham was Ronald
Reagan’s science adviser and the chairman of the Commission to Assess the
Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.  Dr.
Graham believes that in the event of a large scale EMP attack, the vast
majority of Americans would either
freeze, starve or die from disease.
According to Graham, in
the aftermath of an EMP attack life in America “would probably be something
that you might imagine life to be like around the late 1800s but with several
times the population we had in those days, and without the ability of the
country to support and sustain all those people.”

Right now, patent period for patent holders is 20 years, 
which IMO is too long.  This is one of the reasons why new 
inventions take too long to become cheap.

Take for instance the Compact-Disk developed by Philips and 
Sony. It took 20 years for CD's to become cheap. 

A shorter patent term of say, 8 years is quite enough for 
the patent holder to recover his costs.

Secondly patents should be managed by a UN based body. This 
will bring global uniformity regarding patent rights.

I'm glad you at least watched it Rick (to your credit), it is a compelling

It is compelling, and I repeat, makes some valid points. But it’s definitely a 
propaganda piece. Wolf Blitzer hosted a discussion right after it in which many 
of its flaws were exposed.

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com  ,

Very effective propaganda. I’m sure it makes valid points, but it makes no 
attempt to be objective. Here are some rebuttals. 

PANDORA’S FALSE PROMISES

BUSTING THE PRO-NUCLEAR PROPAGANDA

A Beyond Nuclear Report 

❒

www.BeyondNuclear.org  

(Full report available on the Beyond Nuclear website)

The impetus for this two-page summary document and the full report referenced 
above, was 

the release in July 2013 of the pro-nuclear propaganda film, Pandora’s Promise. 
The film, like 

the nuclear industry propaganda in circulation generally, both omits and 
misrepresents key facts 

in order to cover up the very real dangers and detriments of nuclear energy. 
These documents 

serve to rebut the misleading messaging about dirty, dangerous and expensive 
nuclear power.

TWO-PAGE SUMMARY

❒

Nuclear power, no matter the reactor design, cannot address climate change in 

time. In order to displace a significant amount of carbon-emitting fossil-fuel 

generation, another 1,000 to 1,500 new 1,000+ Megawatt reactors would need to 

come on line worldwide by 2050, a completely prohibitive proposition. 

❒

So-called “Generation IV” reactor designs, including 

“fast” or “small modular 

reactors,” are the last gasp of a failing industry. Earlier versions of the 
fast 

breeder reactor were commercial failures and safety disasters. 

The ever soaring 

costs make nuclear power a financial quagmire for investors, and expensive new 

prototypes commercially unattractive. 

❒

Proponents of the Integral Fast Reactor, such as those in

Pandora’s Promise

, 

overlook the exorbitant costs; proliferation risks; that it is decades away 
from 

deployment; that it would not so much consume radioactive waste as 

theoretically transmute it; and that its use of sodium as a coolant can lead to 
fires 

and explosions. 

❒

The continued daily use of nuclear energy means continued risk of radiation 

exposure to surrounding populations. Ionizing radiation released by nuclear 

power plants, either routinely or in large amounts after an accident, causes 

cellular damage and mutations in DNA, which in turn can lead to cancers and 

other illnesses. Children are particularly vulnerable and their leukemia rates 
have 

been shown to rise the closer they live to an operating nuclear power reactor.

❒

Low-ball health predictions after nuclear accidents are not reliable. The 2005 

IAEA/WHO Chernobyl report has been discredited for suppressing key data to 

justify low death predictions that do not stand up to scientific scrutiny. IAEA 
has 

a conflict of interest with a mandate to promote nuclear technology. Given the 

latency period of cancers caused by radiation exposure, it is too soon to 
predict 

the long-term health impacts of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, although some 

health effects are already being observed. 

→

❒

The alleged “failure” of renewable energy sources to supplant coal, oil, 
nuclear 

and natural gas in the US is less a technological defect than a result of the 

enormous lobbying power of the traditional energy industries. In 2008, the 

Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) spent $2,360,000 lobbying Congress, their 
highest 

tally to date. This political barrier flies in the face of numerous studies 
that show 

wind and solar energy alone could produce orders of magnitude more electricity 

than currently used by US consumers and industry.

❒

The example of Germany — and numerous studies — demonstrate that both 

coal and nuclear can be phased out in favor of renewable energy. The German 

renewable energy sector already employs 380,000 people compared to 30,000 in 

the nuclear energy sector.

❒

The argument that only nuclear provides “carbon-free,” base load energy is out 

of date. Geothermal and offshore wind energy are capable of delivering reliable 

base load power with a smaller carbon footprint than nuclear energy. Energy 

efficiency is also an essential component in displacing nuclear and coal.

❒

Myths about the French nuclear program abound. Only 4% of the country’s 

high-level radioactive waste has been vitrified and stored. Given its 80% 
dependency on nuclear power, when droughts and heat waves force reactors to 

power down or close, France has no other options and is forced to import 

electricity. France has an enormous, unsolved waste problem with n

Corporate lawyers like to patent anything that isn't nailed down.  The 
board of directors for the software company I worked for wanted 
patents.  So I had to put together a patent program with a patent 
attorney even though none of us wanted to do it.  Software patents are 
particularly ridiculous because often you are patenting something that 
is just the way a computer works.  But because it wasn't patented before 
it could be patented.  As reported last week the Supreme Court is going 
to be hearing this issue.


India was appalled that a pharmaceutical company patented neem so they 
put together a program to patent all the various herbs and make them 
open just to prevent any more outrageous actions like that.


Disney lawyers ruined copyrights just so Disney could keep selling their

Share, as I've told you before, that you told falsehoods about me is not a 
matter of agreement; and it isn't "my assessment," it's a fact. Calling me 
names doesn't change that.

 Let's make it very simple so that even you can understand:

 If you say, referring to a specific post of mine, "She did not qualify...with 
it sounds like" when in fact I used that qualification twice in the post in 
question, it means you told a falsehood, case closed. And given that you saw 
the evidence I posted that you told a falsehood, for you to try to pretend 
there can be any dispute about whether it was or wasn't a falsehood is just 
further dishonesty on your part. Nobody's fooled by it, Share. You don't make 
yourself look innocent by doubling down on a proven falsehood.

I take Richard seriously; he has been posting some really interesting material. 
Additionally, he seems like a real human being. So why not just post the 
detailed refutation? Just don't get into a discussion with me, as you know, you 
specifically said you would never have a discussion with me unless certain 
events were to occur, and these events have not happened. You cannot directly 
quote me in making a response for otherwise you would prove yourself 
untruthful. I do not believe Richard is trolling here. I am convinced he has a 
valid point. I do not see why it is so important to you to appear to be a 
paragon of truth, for you are not coming off that way at all. Why not test this 
by lying to everyone you know for a couple of days and see if they notice any 
difference. They should be subtle lies, for those are the best kind, as if you

Nice altered hymn Buck, but you are turning people away from Jesus, 
as the original, with words by Edmund Jones, intended. Of course these 
days, most people do not get what Jesus was about. 

Here is an interesting article on the M effect and science, 
and it gives a very different spin on this subject: 
http://www.geoffgilpin.com/pdfs/Quantum-Failure.pdf 
http://www.geoffgilpin.com/pdfs/Quantum-Failure.pdf
 A quote from this paper:
 'When the TM movement comes up with solid evidence 
for the Maharishi Effect, they will have the faculty of every 
physics department in the world knocking at their door. 
Until then, they will continue to be ignored, which is just 
as it should be.'
 Buck's hymn, the original:
 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast,
A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve.
 I’ll go to Jesus, though my sin
Like mountains round me close;
I know His courts, I’ll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
 Prostrate I’ll lie before His throne,
And there my guilt confess,
I’ll tell Him, I’m a wretch undone,
Without His sovereign grace.
 I’ll to the gracious King approach,
Whose scepter pardon gives;
Perhaps he command my touch,
And then the suppliant lives.
 Perhaps He will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But, if I perish, I will pray,
And perish only there.
 I can but perish if I go;
I am resolved to try;
But if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.
 But, if I die with mercy sought,
When I the King have tried,
This were to die (delightful thought!)
As sinner never died.

[FairfieldLife] FFL as a movie, Part Dos

"Crystal Fairy and the Magical Cactus" is truly a movie that reminds me 
of FFL. It's about a bunch of young folks traveling through Chile in 
search of a magic cactus to trip out on and their encounter with a 
fellow traveler who calls herself the Crystal Fairy.  Stars Michael Cera 
("Arrested Development") and is available on Netflix WI. It has some 
good laughs in it and may remind you of your hippie daze.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Meditation Fairfield, Iowa

Judy, that first sentence of yours is what I would call a subtle lie and why I 
will never see you as an upholder of truth. By making a statement and then 
putting a question mark, you attempt to obscure what you are saying, thus 
actually creating a impediment to finding truth. IMO it is worse because you 
present yourself as an upholder of truth with the same words you use to obscure 
truth. Granted you have excellent and well honed argumentative skills. But I 
don't think they are always used for the purpose of benefiting anyone.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Meditation Fairfield, Iowa

Judy, initially you did not and continually you do not qualify your statements. 
A few times when you did does not erase the deluge when you didn't. As I wrote 
to Emily a few days ago. I also acknowledged to her that you did qualify your 
statements in the post in question. I guess you missed that.

If you say, referring to a specific post of mine, "She did not qualify...with

question, it means you told a falsehood, case closed. And given that you saw 
the evidence I posted that you told a falsehood, for you to try to pretend

Oh, bullshit, Share. That's made-up nonsense, and you know it. In both cases I 
was asking genuine questions about your mindset. It isn't surprising that you 
don't want to answer them, but that doesn't somehow make them "impediments to 
the truth." The only impediments to the truth in this situation have been 
created by you, not me.

 Nor does whether you see me as an "upholder of truth" have anything to do with 
the fact that you told falsehoods about me. Your opinion of me, inane though it 
may be, does not somehow make it OK for you to say things about me that are 
factually false in an attempt to make me look bad. That you would use one to 
try to justify the other just makes you a person of very seriously deficient 
character.

 You, Share Long, are very far from being in a position to criticize anyone 
else's ethics. You need to have some ethics of your own first. As far as I can 
see, you are a devious and unethical individual masquerading as a sweet, 
blameless innocent. But when you're backed into a corner, as you are now, the 
real Share comes out, and it is neither sweet, blameless, nor innocent--not by

But anyway, I first stumbled upon word of this film when I read that
Scarlett Johansson would not be eligible for a Golden Globes Award for
her performance in it, even though she starred in it. And as one half of
the romance in a romance movie. Turns out she's not actually onscreen
during the performance -- only her voice is, and that's not enough to
qualify for a Best Actress nom.

"Her," as you can hear in the trailer, is Scarlett Johansson. Hers (so
to speak) is the voice of the new AI operating system that a nerd writer
named Theodore (played by the very talented Joaquin Phoenix) has just
acquired for his computer. They develop a relationship.

The film is written and directed by Spike Jonze, who has written and
directed previous masterpieces of quirkiness as "Being John Malcovich"
and "Adaptation." The latter had the quirkiest movie tag line ever:
"From the creator of Being John Malkovich, comes the story about the
creator of Being John Malkovich." :-)

Anyway, IMIO (In My Intuitive Opinion), this one's gonna be a winner. It
will be a veritable pleasure to watch Joaquin Phoenix play a nerdy
hopeless romantic hopelessly and romantically involved with a computer.
It will possibly be even more of a pleasure to hear Scarlett Johansson's
voice as the computer/object of his affections. Supporting cast includes
people like Rooney Mara, Kristen Wiig, and Amy Adams.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Meditation Fairfield, Iowa

It's very strange, to say the least, and I actually posted a long essay 
pointing out that the TM mantras are vibration sounds that have no 
semantic meaning! Everybody knows that MMY wrote the Beacon Light and 
everybody knows that MMY loved the nicknames of the personal gods. 
Everybody that does TM knows this, except Judy fibbed about it. That was 
wrong of her to do that.


Judy told a big fib and then she denied it. She should have said IN MY 
OPINION, the TM mantras are not the nicknames of the Hindu personal 
gods. She made it sound like MMY was a liar and a deceiver. That was 
wrong for her to do that -  TMers love MMY and we do not think he was a 
liar or a deceiver. TMers do not have a problem with the TM mantras 
being the names of the personal gods.


And, it was a fib for Judy to then call me a liar. Judy told several 
fibs and won't admit it. It was wrong of Judy to say I was trolling, 
trying to get everyone to shun me. Go figure.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Meditation Fairfield, Iowa

What do you mean "initially"? Remember, you're the person who swore that post 
was the first one in which I'd "done [my] number" on you.

 And again, whether or not I always qualify my statements does not excuse (or 
"erase") your claiming I did not when I did. You told falsehoods about that 
initial post, very specifically, even giving its date. That I may not have 
qualified some statements in subsequent posts doesn't justify your falsehoods 
about this one.

 I said at the time of your post to Emily that it looked as though you might be 
willing to take Ann's suggestion and cop to having misremembered the post you 
told falsehoods about. But that didn't happen. You doubled and tripled and 
quadrupled and quintupled down, claiming you "saw things differently" and that 
you didn't "agree" with my "assessment." Which was more bullshit, as I 
explained to you at some length. That you told falsehoods about that initial 
post is a matter of documented fact, not opinion or agreement or assessment.

 Let's try it one more time: If you are now, finally, willing to admit that I 
did qualify the statements in that post, why did you whine to Barry that I had 
not done so? Even right down to denying I'd said the very words I did, in fact, 
say? What the hell were you thinking, and why has it taken you so long to 
acknowledge those falsehoods? Why have you been dancing all around your 
misdeeds, and even trying to blame me for them?

 Share tries to slither past this:

 Let's make it very simple so that even you can understand:

 If you say, referring to a specific post of mine, "She did not qualify...with 
it sounds like" when in fact I used that qualification twice in the post in 
question, it means you told a falsehood, case closed. And given that you saw 
the evidence I posted that you told a falsehood, for you to try to pretend 
there can be any dispute about whether it was or wasn't a falsehood is just 
further dishonesty on your part. Nobody's fooled by it, Share. You don't make

 Judy told a big fib and then she denied it. She should have said IN MY

made it sound like MMY was a liar and a deceiver. That was wrong for her to do 
that -  TMers love MMY and we do not think he was a liar or a deceiver. TMers

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: For all romantics out there

The first movie I ever saw Scarlett J in was Horse Whisperer with Robert 
Redford and Kristen Scott Thomas. Though she was quite young, she definitely 
held her own in the presence of these two top stars. My bet is that Redford 
spotted her talent and chose her for that key role in the film which he also 
directed. I loved the music in it.

I dunno, Richard. I, for one, would love to see her come up with this

So, speaking in my capacity as "someone other than Xeno who takes

Failure to produce one will prove Judy a liar, because she made that

To my knowledge there is no law against carrying a concealed replica 
firearm in the US.  But the cops will make up their their own rules on 
that sometimes.  We have a bunch of nuts in these agencies who shouldn't 
even be allowed to be night watchmen.

the coldest day so far in this cold snap. It is in the low 40s right

[FairfieldLife] RE: Time May Have No Beginning

Re "It's not likely this will replace the Big Bang Theory any time soon.":

 

 There are a fair few theories contending with the BB. The BB idea was 
originally suggested because of the red-shift in light from distant stars. 
Longer wavelengths = stars travelling away from us. What if the geometry of 
space-time is causing the light to *appear* shifted? (The "Vorticitating 
Hypersphere" hypothesis.) Then there's no expansion at all. Bang goes the 
theory!
 

 Chaos magician Peter J. Carroll:

 "Years ago I led a group of 30 mostly German magicians in an attempt to send a 
servitor probe back to the big bang era. It then reported to us what it saw in 
our dreams later that night. At the time we all accepted the big bang 
interpretation of cosmological data. Astonishingly nearly everyone reported 
that his or her dreams depicted the universe as looking more or less the same 
then as it does now. I have spent the intervening years developing the math and 
interpretations to explain this result. It seems that if the universe consists 
of a vorticitating hypersphere then it may verify our findings. Perhaps we will 
see confirmation within a decade."

Re: [FairfieldLife] Ice Krispies

noozguru, I've definitely gotten more sensitive to the cold as I've gotten 
older. Even though I guess I'm still pure pitta! And of course I sit a lot when 
I'm at the computer so that doesn't help though there's a radiator only about 2 
feet from the desk. I love to put my gloves on the radiator by the front door 
when I come in. And my socks on the radiator upstairs, especially if they've 
gotten wet. 

Wind chill is definitely a factor in windy FF. The women's Dome is up on a 
ridge and sometimes in the morning, I walk from the parking lot clutching my 
hood tightly on my head. I'm a wimp!

What I notice about Iowa weather is that it's more erratic now, more sudden and 
dramatic changes. and about 20 years ago we had snow on May 1!

I don't believe for a second, Barry, that you take Richard seriously. Rather, 
you take me VERY seriously, and you're continuing to stalk me. So I really 
shouldn't accede to your request. But it's so laughably simple, I will.

 (Oh, by the way, you failed Emily's test miserably. You were unable to hold 
off stalking me for even two weeks--it's been only four days.)

 Here's Richard's original troll:

 Richard never was able to document his claim that I "denigrated" the technique 
he describes. I don't know anything about the technique, had never heard of it, 
would have had no reason to "denigrate" it. Nor has he come up with any 
documentation that I denied that "MMY bijas were the nicknames of the 
Istadevatas." I don't know (as I said in the quote he keeps posting) what 
"nicknames" might even mean in this context.

 But the bijas are not, as I said in the other quote Richard keeps posting, the 
names of the personal gods; they have perfectly good names of their own 
(Lakshmi, Saraswati, etc.). Maharishi said in Beacon Light that the bijas are 
the "mantras" of personal gods, not the names of personal gods.

 For reference, here are the two quotes from my posts as Richard has posted 
them:

 "...the TM mantras are *not* the names of the Hindu gods. The Hindu gods 
have perfectly good names of their own."

 And:

"Richard is lying. I never said anything about 'the technique,'
whatever it is, or was. Nor did I say the bijas weren't 'nicknames'
of the deities (whatever 'nicknames' means in this context)." 

 Any questions? Anybody see any lies or fibs (except from Richard)?

 Feeling a little silly, Barry? After all that huffing and puffing?

 BTW, Barry, just for the recordI, failing to keep a promise does not make the 
promise a lie unless it can be shown that the person who made it never intended 
to keep it.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Time May Have No Beginning

According to Big Bang Theory all the matter in the Universe once fitted into a 
space less than the size of a pin head.
 

 Get hold of a pin. Take a good look at it. Now ask yourself: "Do I really and 
truly believe that the mass of between 1 sextillion and 1 septillion stars 
(that's between 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000  or 
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars) could fit into this pin's head?". 
 

 It doesn't sound very plausible does it?
 

 And that doesn't include all the other stuff floating around - including dark 
matter and dark energy that make up the bulk of the Universe.
 

 Are scientists playing you for a sap?

I dunno, Richard. I, for one, would love to see her come up with this "detailed 
refuation" she's been crowing about for so long. 

So, speaking in my capacity as "someone other than Xeno who takes Richard

Re: [FairfieldLife] Bron-Broen, season 2

The original show should be on Netflix where it belongs or Hulu.  But 
when they make these deals to do a US version it must include a clause 
that the original can't be shown in the US.  Crazy.  Same with the 
original "The Killing." American crapitalism and the inferior souls who 
run the media industry.


I've been watching the first season of Braquo on Hulu+ and the second 
season is also available.  Of course there is no US version of it.  HBO 
is redoing "Utopia" which has a second season coming up and so it's not 
available in the US either.

Re "Obviously a very bright pin-head came up with the theory.":
 

 Cute! 
 

 But someone who attempts to evoke and then send a "servitor probe" back to the 
big-bang era would probably make an amusing dinner guest. And I still claim 
that believing the mass of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars could be 
compressed into a point shows that moderns have a level of credulity that would 
be the envy of an African witch doctor.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Time May Have No Beginning

If chaos magicians trouble you consider astronomer Fred Hoyle. He it was who 
coined the term "Big Bang" (as a put-down). Although accepting that the 
Universe was expanding he came up with his steady-state theory, ie, matter is 
continuously being created in "empty" space and so forcing the universe to 
grow. But there was no Big Bang needed to explain what we see. Ideas like that 
seem more commonsensical to me.
 

 He also believed in panspermia. So - not afraid to think outside the box.

[FairfieldLife] A Guaranteed Income for Life

Anyone can open a savings account in a bank that pays .01 per cent on 
your savings. Or, you can purchase CD's and get maybe 1 per cent 
interest. Or, you can buy gold and bury it in your backyard and hope the 
value increases and nobody finds out where you hid your stash.


Or, you could purchase a life annuity from an insurance company. 
Everyone knows that an annuity is any financial contract providing 
guaranteed payments for a person's lifetime. For example, if you 
purchased an annuity for $100,000 you could expect $3,480 per year or 
3.8 percent interest.


So, if someone offered you a guaranteed income for life earning 7 per 
cent on your investment, you'd probably jump at the chance, right? Would 
you like to know how you can get an annuity that pays 6-7 per cent for 
the rest of your life?


"Assuming that the average benefit from Social Security is $14,000 per 
year, the replacement cost would be about $250,000 for a 66-year-old 
individual. The figures are based upon the individual receiving an 
inflation-adjusted stream that would pay for life and be insured."


If you can continue working until you reach full retirement age under 
Social Security (which in the U.S. is age 62-70) and you leave the money 
on the table until you reach age 70, you would be getting 7 per cent on 
your investment, guaranteed, in a check every month from the U.S. 
Government.  Go figure.

 WASHINGTON (AP) — Feeling chilly? Here's cold comfort: You could be in East 
Antarctica which new data says set a record for "soul-crushing" cold.
 Try 135.8 degrees Fahrenheit below zero; that's 93.2 degrees below zero 
Celsius, which sounds only slightly toastier. Better yet, don't try it. That's 
so cold scientists say it hurts to breathe.
 A new look at NASA satellite data revealed that Earth set a new record for 
coldest temperature recorded. It happened in August 2010 when it hit -135.8 
degrees. Then on July 31 of this year, it came close again: -135.3 degrees.
 The old record had been -128.6 degrees, which is -89.2 degrees Celsius.
 Ice scientist Ted Scambos at the National Snow and Ice Data Center said the 
new record is "50 degrees colder than anything that has ever been seen in 
Alaska or Siberia or certainly North Dakota."

[FairfieldLife] Goldfinger redux

Fort Knox was last fully audited in 1953. The US government claims there is 
5,000 metric tons of gold stored there. Conspiracy theorists at the more wacky 
end of the spectrum claim that the vaults are empty. 

 What amuses me about this is that even if there is no gold there, as long as 
everyone *believes* that there is what difference does it make? Mind over 
matter.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: We can all feel safer now...

Around here anyone can own a rifle and keep it in their home and anyone 
can carry a rifle in their truck or car if they are on their way to a 
hunting ground. The law around here states that if want to carry a 
pistol around on your person, you have to obtain a concealed carry 
permit. It's also part of the law here to never show your concealed 
weapon unless you are using it in order to defend yourself or your 
family. Go figure.


A basic rule around here is to NEVER tell anyone that are carrying a 
concealed weapon. Another basic rule of self defense around here is to 
NEVER show your weapon until you are forced to use it. And, you should 
NEVER take a knife to a gun fight at the OK corral. LoL!

The law was brought in as too many criminals were using imitation

uses a replica to commit a crime and is subsequently shot by the 
police he can hardly complain - it's a tribute to the success of his 
ruse.



I would have thought that having a convincing replica could be a 
useful self-defence gizmo. You can pull it on a mugger or threaten a 
house-breaker.



According to the law: putting a hand inside a jacket and using 
fingers to force out the material to give the impression of a firearm 
falls outside the scope of such offences, as a person's bodily parts 
are not "things". Guess I'll just have to try that and rely on my

Re: [FairfieldLife] Time May Have No Beginning

They say it's the "moon's day" and 7:45 PM based on planetary rotation 
around the sun. Time is relative and the universe is curved, according 
to Albert. There is the "past" which is already gone; and there is the 
"present" which passes in an instant; and there is the "future" which 
hasn't arrived yet.


According to Omar Khayyám, :...the moving finger, having writ, moves

history into two parts, calling one BC and the other AD.

Let's get serious.

So, why would anybody care if anyone else is posting from home; or from 
their living room; or from their kitchen; or from a cafe in Paris, FR; 
or from a Dairy Queen in Paris, TX; or even posting from a parking lot 
on a cell phone Walmart in Deadwood, SD?

Now, I can understand why someone might get defensive if anyone found 
out they were posting to a chat room from their place of employ; or if 
you're charging clients by the hour and posting from your home office 
when you should be doing work. That's some serious posting!

But, if you're getting paid by the piece, it should be no problem - 
lot's of people are able to multi-task all day and all night and make an 
honest living and send posts at all hours.

The problem is posting to a chat room using your professional name as a 
handle and including your business email address in order to advertise 
your services. That's against the FFL rule about posting spam to the 
group. It's even worse if you're using someone else's business name. 
That's real serious!

Richard never was able to document his claim that I "denigrated" the 
technique he describes. I don't know anything about the technique, had 
never heard of it, would have had no reason to "denigrate" it. Nor has 
he come up with any documentation that I denied that "MMY bijas were 
the nicknames of the Istadevatas." I don't know (as I said in the 
quote he keeps posting) what "nicknames" might even mean in this context.

But the bijas are not, as I said in the other quote Richard keeps 
posting, the names of the personal gods; they have perfectly good 
names of their own (Lakshmi, Saraswati, etc.). Maharishi said in 
Beacon Light that the bijas are the "mantras" of personal gods, not 
the names of personal gods.

For reference, here are the two quotes from my posts as Richard has 
posted them:

"...the TM mantras are *not* the names of the Hindu gods. The Hindu gods
have perfectly good names of their own."

And:

"Richard is lying. I never said anything about 'the technique,'
whatever it is, or was. Nor did I say the bijas weren't 'nicknames'
of the deities (whatever 'nicknames' means in this context)."

Any questions? Anybody see any lies or fibs (except from Richard)?

Feeling a little silly, Barry? After all that huffing and puffing?

BTW, Barry, just for the recordI, failing to keep a promise does not 
make the promise a lie unless it can be shown that the person who made 
it never intended to keep it.

/*I dunno, Richard. I, for one, would love to see her come up with 
this "detailed refuation" she's been crowing about for so long.

So, speaking in my capacity as "someone other than Xeno who takes 
Richard seriously enough to want a detailed refutation," I want one.

Failure to produce one will prove Judy a liar, because she made that 
very offer just below.

I expect exact quotes, URLs, and citations. Maybe even a bibliography 
and footnotes. :-)

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: We can all feel safer now...

A basic rule around here is to NEVER tell anyone that are carrying a concealed 
weapon. Another basic rule of self defense around here is to NEVER show your 
weapon until you are forced to use it. And, you should NEVER take a knife to a 
gun fight at the OK corral. LoL!

 

 But is it OK to carry a fake gun that looks like the real deal? That way you 
don't need a permit and can use it to scare off a potential attack. It sounds 
like an inexpensive and effective deterrent to me. (Of course, if you're up 
against a mugger wired on angel dust or methamphetamine you're out of luck.)
