"In essence, your body knows better than the experts how much salt it needs - and telling someone to restrict their salt intake is akin to telling someone to restrict their water intake when they are thirsty. It just makes no biological sense." -from "The Salt Fix" book, by Dr. James DiNicolantonio "this is what inequality does. It turns marriage into a luxury good, and a stable family life into a privilege that the moneyed elite can pass along to their children. How do we think that’s going to work out?" "When economists like me look at medicine in America..., we see something that looks an awful lot like a cartel." "You see, when educated people with excellent credentials band together to advance their collective interest, it’s all part of serving the public good by ensuring a high quality of service, establishing fair working conditions, and giving merit its due. That’s why we do it through “associations,” and with the assistance of fellow professionals wearing white shoes. When working-class people do it — through unions — it’s a violation of the sacred principles of the free market. It’s thuggish and anti-modern. Imagine if workers hired consultants and “compensation committees,” consisting of their peers at other companies, to recommend how much they should be paid. The result would be — well, we know what it would be, because that’s what CEOs do." "If the system can be gamed, well then, our ability to game the system has become the new test of merit." "There is a page in the book of American political thought... that says we must choose between government and freedom. But if you read it twice, you’ll see that what it really offers is a choice between government you can see and government you can’t. Aristocrats always prefer the invisible kind of government." "One of the reasons that the media shuns good news is that good things often take a long time to build, while bad things tend to happen all at once." "fundamental reason that crowdsourcing is such a viable model today is the massive excess mental capacity - “cognitive surplus” - that exists in our society." "Current conceptions of blockchain are trying to do the impossible. They want the security of a decentralized system with the control of a centralized one. The desire is the best of both worlds, but what they end up getting is the worst of both worlds. You get the costs and difficulty of a decentralized system with the failure modes of a centralized one." Jimmy Song "Tech companies say they’re only improving accuracy with Maven [drone AI] – ie the right people will be killed rather than the wrong ones – and in saying that, the political assumption that those people on the other side of the world are more killable, and that the US military gets to define what suspicion looks like, go unchallenged. So technology questions are being used to close off some things that are actually political questions. The choice to use algorithms to automate certain kinds of decisions is political too. The legal conventions of modern warfare, imperfect as they might be, assume human accountability for decisions taken. At the very least, algorithmic warfare muddies the water in ways we may grow to regret." YouTube uploads: 400 hours’ worth every 60 seconds, according to Google YouTube typically pays between $2 and $4 for every 1,000 views "Zoller works as a moderator, responding to comments. Moderation is one of the most gruelling jobs in the web’s emergent economy, and while Zoller does not work in front of the camera, her role puts her in the firing line for anonymous abuse and bad-faith interaction.... Zoller believes that, far from wanting to deal with the negativity, YouTube actively encourages it via the design of the algorithm. 'People tend not to discuss content unless they have very strong opinions about it, and most of the time those strong opinions favour disagreement,' she explains. 'So the algorithm favours clickbait and controversial content over meaningfully nuanced and positive content.' 'YouTube rewards people who produce daily,' Morton says. 'They made the algorithm, so they have the power to remake it. If they set different criteria, it would help. We are human beings. We need some time for ourselves.'"

On the Canal du Midi in Provence you can play tennis and visit Roman ruins in one fell swoop, and on the Canal de Briare, you can pedal to the vineyards of Sancerre for winetasting." The Barista Touch from Breville accommodates coffee nerds who like to fine-tune their technique as well as those who just want a latte and don’t care how it was made. Touch also allows for agency in the drink-making process, with options to adjust the grind, brewing time, temperature of the milk and more, in case you’re keen to design your own signature drink—which you can program into the machine too. $1,200 "I wish we could view consent as something that’s less about caution and more about care for the other person, the entire person, both during an encounter and after, when we’re often at our most vulnerable.

"Civilization is a way of life organized by hierarchy and top down institutions. Culture is a manifestation of bottom up phenomenology. Civilizations are usually planned rigid bodies that don't often change. Cultures are generally unplanned self-organizing fluid-like entities. Some places tried to unify this.

She says America may be devolving from a somewhat cohesive "SuperGroup" to one in which such tribal battles come to the forefront.

Acknowledge your feelings; don't pay attention to them per se. Have the feelings, don't become them. 2. Focus on your behavior. What can you actually do? What’s the next action? 3. Take that small action. You may not feel like it. Take the action anyway. 4. It is this simple, and it is this difficult. The simple part is the focus on behavior and small steps. The difficult part is the volitional skill to keep focused while acknowledging the emotions that are working against this. The key thing is that our emotions come and go, they follow our behavior, and they should not be the sole determinant of our behavior. (from the blog of Timothy A.

Even our forms of dissent mirror the ritual of the focus group. We cannot remain trapped in the conversation, as pleasurable as it is.

I disagree - and would cite the Roman habit (circa 100 BC to 400 AD), of enslaving and shipping out the civilian population of conquered territories; not to mention the various tribal expansions (taking Europe only), where the victors killed off all the males older than 10 - all the older females and enslaved (and bred off), the fertile females. This was not a matter of racial purity, just simply the quickest way to expand the tribe, that they were not specifically "Celts", Goths, whatever, was rarely important. More children - big tribes (battalions?), win. I would further cite the depopulation of Central Europe over the Thirty Years War - something that took over 150 years to adjust."

Trackpad still worked, fortunately. After researching, tried disabling devices (didn't work), then tried unplugging laptop and removing battery overnight. The next morning the usb mouse worked. A week later, it happened again. Shutting down and briefly removing battery is all it took. Seems to be happening when I remove and reinstall the usb mini-drive while the laptop is in hibernation. Next time, don't reinstall the drive until the laptop is awake. Sat Feb 3, 2018: mouse stops working again, shutdown and battery removal does the trick. Had not used the usb mini-drive this time. Laptop has frozen up though. Sat Dec 2: receive jury summons. I postponed this to May 10, 2018. Friday Dec 1: Suddenly, my 16 gig iPod Touch begins to stop playing music for unknown reason. Tried rebooting, recharging. Next, change headphones, see if that has anything to do with it. [SOLVED?: recharged battery, didn't do it again.]

(unsent - a 15 minute hiccup of irrationality) Dear Pirate Joes, Is the Trader Joe's legal action still in progress? If so, have you considered getting the court of public opinion involved? What Trader Joe's is doing to Pirate Joe's would not set well with a great many of their customers, if the facts were to become known. Would you be willing to talk with me about this? I suspect neither of us would want to unleash the power of the internet on a company I think we both love and value. And yet, why are they doing this? Who are you hurting? In what way are you harming Trader Joes? If you'd prefer to let the judicial courts handle this, I'll understand, and stand down. If you'd like to explore other ideas, please let me know a number, time, and day I might reach you for a short discussion. Respectfully, Anonymous
DRILLING GLASS - the bit will want to wander as you start drilling. To give the bit a foothold, tape a small scrap of dense cardboard (like cereal box cardboard) to the glass. Begin at very low rpm to create a dimple in the glass, then remove the cardboard and continue at about 400 rpm. If you're drilling on a horizontal surface, you can pour a little oil on the area. - Make sure the glass is firmly supported on the backside and place only very light pressure on the drill; press too hard and you'll crack the glass. The bit creates a clean hole on the side it enters, but usually chips the edges of the hole on the other side. - do not use the drill’s full power. Think about the drilling like you are slowly carving away at glass rather than drilling a hole in it. This will help you slow down the process. - tape the inside and outside of the glass you will be drilling with packaging tape or painter’s tape This will stop the glass from splintering. - When drilling glass, you should keep the drill at low or medium speeds. When you are close to breaking through, slow it down even more because this is when the glass can be the most fragile.

"I just do not believe in free love with no consequences. Every sexual contact causes the mix of koshas (energy layers that ancient yoga texts explain in great detail). Every contact of the bodies offers the exchange of such energies that can be long lasting (yogis say it takes up to 7 years to have the smallest essence of those particles leave the body). I personally would not want anyone's emotional baggage and negative energy traces trapped in my body for such a period of time. And with a multitude of partners, things can only get worse." from an Amazon review of Pinchbeck's book "How Soon Is Now" ?true?

Impressions of my first visit to ECETI - April 2016 Mt Adams
I volunteered to work at ECETI (Enlightened Contact with Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) to help them prepare for the opening of their 2016 season. I worked half a day on Fri Apr 22 and a full day on Sat Apr 23. Pulling up to the gate of the property, the first thing noticed were all the signs on the perimeter fences, warning law enforcement and federal agencies that they did not have permission to enter. Some of the wording was eccentric ("posse comitatus," "an official consulate of the OITC {Office of the International Treasury Control}," "non-combatant, neutral in the public, at peace with - and an ally of - the Crown.") There was also a "Be At Peace" placard, but all the legalese filled warning signs suggested some fear and paranoia. Past the main gate, attached to trees, were two large wood "posters" illustrating a staff-carrying shepherd figure in biblical style dress waving or motioning to a saucer shaped craft in the sky.
Mt Adams
Then came the most impressive physical feature of ECETI: an awesome view of Mt Adams, a 12,000 foot snow covered mountain, that stands practically in the ECETI front yard. The view is breathtaking; a cliched term, but fully applicable. Upon arriving, A.R., a long-term volunteer, proceeded to give me an extensive tour and orientation. This was an excellent introduction and set a wonderful, welcoming tone. He then left me on my own, to wander and explore, until work was set to begin at 10:30am. The grounds looked much like any older farm/ranch, with a mix of new and old buildings, working and abandoned tools and equipment. Work that day meant cleaning out the huge basement of the conference center, which had flooded back in November. Many items were still soaking wet and the musty smell and obvious mold growth made for uncomfortable working conditions. By the time lunch came a couple hours later, I was weak and tired from all the trips up the steep stairs, and sick to my stomach, perhaps from the mold. (Or it may have been from eating a hardboiled duck egg, which more than once seemed to bring on nausea.) Feeling very poorly, I couldn't face an afternoon in those same conditions, so left for the day. Returned the next morning, happy (and impressed) that the crew had finished work in the moldy basement. Many new volunteers were there, and a few more came during the morning. Work was not organized or led well. Finally, on their own, the volunteers began transferring trash from the temporary holding pen to the dumpster. Around 11am James held a demonstration of using dowsing rods to determine what and where crops should be planted in the garden. Lunch was promised soon after, but when it didn't come quickly, most volunteers returned to work. Pizza, salad, and a berry/greens smoothie for lunch. The kitchen is so small and overflowing, it is a mystery to me how they ever host large gatherings. An hour or so after lunch, the trash transfer project was completed. Joseph assigned me and another volunteer to sweeping up the conference room. One area of bare floor had been used by a cat as a litter box, for many months. Yuch. Nearing 5pm, I called it quits. Took a quick look around, but as was often the case, no residents were to be found. (I sent a goodbye thank you post card once I got home.) I pulled away from ECETI very glad I'd visited, assured of their sincerity, though not sure if or when I might return. Cold weather and overcast skies had prevented any opportunity to witness the mysterious lights said to regularly move about the mountain.

Vanishing Point - 1997 Fox tv movie - starring Viggo Mortensen Kowalski and his cool white Challenger reimagined, equipped with a cell phone this time. He's speeding like a maniac because his wife is in the hospital, clinging to life during a difficult delivery, and he couldn't get a flight home soon enough. The dj is a sideburned, white, slightly rednecked dude, wearing a "Live Free or Die" baseball cap. No music though. Police assume he must be a "TERRORIST" (because that's the only bad guys that count these days). Lame lines, bad acting by the walk (drive?) ons. A couple cops, driving an unmarked black muscle car, are offended when he eludes them, and so begins a movie length pursuit, ignoring jurisdictions and common sense. Early on, they even fire a shotgun at him at high speed (yeah right). Cool scene where K, in a flashback, helps a sexy game warden release a cougar that has, for some inexplicable reason, been leashed to a tree. K beds her afterwards, and they marry. A black man takes the role of Dean Jagger, the snake wrangler. He somehow knows a chopper is coming and that it is black, before it's in sight. The "whirlybird" comes into view, and before they're spotted, the two men are able to conceal his ride with branches and hide behind a tall bush, even in this sparse desert. The black man asks for a ride to the Indian rez. When they arrive, black dude hands K the basket of rattlers and points to a modest mountain peak. K, in need of gasoline, apparently forgets his wife and his urgent attempt to reach her. He climbs the steep hill where he finds an Indian spouting trite ___. This "medicine man" stays well informed atop his mountain airie, as he has seen the CNN updates about K. The two take time for a sweatbath in the nude (I am not kidding you), then K is on his way (somehow got gasoline, didn't catch that part). Next K meets a blonde woman riding a cycle on the salt flats. She takes him to her desert place. Her conspiracy minded housemate helps K bypass the police roadblock up ahead. Then K learns that his wife died in childbirth, so he revs up the Challenger and going 150mpg+, hits the two bulldozers blocking the road. A vision is shown of him rejoining his wife in heaven. If there was anything better here than the original, I didn't see it.

A 4 question mini-quiz: is this the right person for you?: - Would you like to be more like this person? - Would you like to have a child with this person? - Would you like to have a child who was like this person? - Would you feel okay spending the rest of your life with this person if this person were never to change? Barbara DeAngelis in "The Right Person For You?" For myself, I might add: - does this person do any activity that can stir kundalini? - does this person eat healthy? - does this person love animals and children? - is this person fun? remember, a conscious relationship will lead us to work on our stuff what stuff will this person bring? In the end, it should be Spirit, not a series of questions, that chooses your partner. If you do take a lover, protect her heart.

my aspiring filmmaker bio Have always been passionate and intense about movies. As a pre-teen I'd record soundtracks for ViewMaster slides and silent 8mm short films, then project them on a sheet in the garage and charge the neighbor kids a nickel to watch. After high school I got a job at a motion picture laboratory. Did the grunt work of prepping the dailies, attaching the magnetic cues for work prints, and even some color timing. I loved it! In my 20's I bought a Super 8 sound camera and made several shorts. Won best film of the year two years running at a PBS station competition in Denver Colorado. At the age of 26 I gave up on filmmaking. I knew I didn't want to work in Hollywood and couldn't see any other viable route to making a living as a filmmaker. This was long before digital video, personal computers, and the internet. It's all changed now! Too late for me? Time will tell.
my review of David Icke's "The Biggest Secret" (date unknown, never posted) Four stars, awarded not because I believe all the information in this book, but because it made me question some of my most basic assumptions. I've long wondered which of our many fools will have the last laugh. Seems most every generation has at least one person whose ideas are so far ahead of everyone else that they are laughed at and ridiculed. Then 50 or 100 years later the rest of us get a clue and find out the fool was right after all. Could David Icke be one of those fools? I agree with other reviewers that the info in this book is difficult to swallow. Even though I've had an overwhelming feeling since childhood that something is not right here, that the sorry state of this world cannot adequately be accounted for by humanity's immaturity, I find the immense conspiracies posited in this book hard to believe. However, the fact that something is hard to believe is alone not enough reason to assume it's false. Many Amazon reviewers have lamented the lack of proof in this book. I too would like hard proof, but what would we skeptics accept? A photo of a shape shifting alien? No, too easily faked. Government documents verifying some of these allegations? Again, easily faked, and why trust someone in government any more than an investigative reporter? Short of a large number of these supposed conspirators coming forth, confessing and offering abundant testimony (this is actually happening in regard to the apparent ufo coverup - see www.disclosureproject.org), maybe the best we can hope for is the voluminous circumstantial case that Icke makes in this book. Finally, a response to the many reviewers who wonder why, if these conspirators are so powerful and pervasive, Icke (and other writers) are allowed to reveal this information. One, not that many people read. What percentage of the population read anything outside the mainstream? 5%? Probably much less. And most of those reading this book are not going to believe it - it just seems too unlikely. So the number of David Icke (and his ilk) readers are little threat to this conspiracy. There is also a theory that the covert conspiracy Icke and others claim has been going on for thousands of years is preparing to become overt. While in the past a few controlling the many has required subterfuge, advanced technology may make this unnecessary. Once all humans are microchipped and thus easily located, living in a cashless society where the click of an evil bureaucrat's mouse denies any misbehaving human the ability to buy or sell anything, the bad guys don't have to hide anymore. Okay, but that day is not here yet, so why would they allow Icke to keep publishing his books and tapes? Perhaps because part of their plan is to keep the masses fearful and hopeless. I dare anyone to read The Biggest Secret and allow themselves to imagine our situation if what he writes is true. What chance would humanity have against a technologically advanced alien species that seems to be multidimensional, perhaps even able to time travel? Movies can suggest that our indomitable spirit combined with a computer virus (Independence Day) would save us, but realistically we'd have less chance than tribal cultures had of surviving modern civilization's conquest. Icke says our only solution is through the use of metaphysical and spiritual tools. I am not much heartened by this thought, considering how few people are able to use such tools without becoming slaves to one of the many dogma sprewing systems that Icke catalogues in his books. I have two hopes. One, that Icke (and my gut feeling about this world) is wrong and that all its ills are just the result of our species immaturity, and we'll grow up before it's too late. Two, if the gist of this book IS true, then hopefully there are other extraterrestrials out there who are as loving as the reptilians are selfish, and that they will help us to help ourselves out of this predicament.

I hid from the world, isolated myself, and developed some damaging behaviors for protection and in consequence. - My dream is to create a business, a new way of running a business, that focuses on the metaphysical truth of our being. In short, a business that is about first helping its employees learn their lessons and enjoy life, and second serving others and making a profit. - #1 change desired: ability to follow through. How can I do this? Why don't I?

They'll keep me from going under, but learning to fly is my job. - I am here to complete my assignment. I know what it is and I'm afraid. - I am a natural born teacher and healer, and this is what I'll do in time. - After years of closing off the world, I finally allowed one single person to come close. I've held onto her, not letting her go, but keeping her at arm's length. It is time to stop leaning on Sondra. - When I do open up, all the stuffed feelings will come forth. First sadness, then anger. The anger is at myself, for wasting so much time, for not doing what I'm here to do. - I've finally said (within) that "Enough is enough."

Did Tessa help me? I don't know for sure. I don't think so. I don't think I need someone to yell at me. Maybe it would have worked at one time. Now, I feel bad enough already. Tessa advised against doing the forgiveness exercise. "What have those people done to need your forgiveness?" she asked. And she was right about this, intellectually. However, I've been in a major tailspin ever since. So I'll go back to doing forgiveness, and hope it helps again.

text of the note I considered leaving Dear Family & Friends, I apologize for my selfish exit from this life. Perhaps you will find it possible to forgive me. I have always felt like an alien in this world and my unsuccessful attempts to find my rightful place here finally became too wearing. Please don't blame yourselves or think you should have done anything differently. My inability to cope and unwillingness to ask for help is a problem to work out with God. I am embarrassed to choose such a weak response to the challenge of living. I long planned to simply disappear so no one would know what a coward I am. But it wouldn't be fair to leave you wondering and perhaps searching for me for years. I have tried to be as considerate as possible considering the cruel thing I am doing. I have no personal belongings left that need attention, except for my body. Please cremate it as inexpensively as possible. I send you Love and hope we may meet again someday in a world where I'm more at my best. Your son, brother, friend Rick Struble
My Ideal Day (dream board type vision, circa 1996?) I wake early, 5:30 or 6. Barely dawn. I quietly get out of bed and enjoy some exercise ~ a brisk walk, or a bike ride, sometimes a swim. I have breakfast & see the family off, then attend to chores & mail. Shower and shave and meditate, then reach the office by 9:30 or 10. I work with people I have great love & respect for. They are spiritual kin. The work is creative, fun, and challenging. I like it very much. Some days I am there until 5 or 6, usually I leave by 4 or so. I spend the evening at home in loving interaction with my family. I may read a bit that night, perhaps watch a movie. By 10 or so I turn in. My life is wonderful, full, rich, prosperous. I feel blessed.
