veggies gone wild

It's hard to believe I've been pulling this amount of stuff out of the garden nearly every day for a month.  Each day I go to the garden, just to check how it's doing, and find stuff that needs picking. 

The heat wave that hit us for the past few weeks wrecked havoc and I thought I'd lose just about everything from the blistering heat and sun but these plants just keep coming back, producing like it's going out of style.
That gully washer we got the other day, literally, pulled the pepper plants out by the roots but this morning they look better than ever.

The zucchini on the left is typical and I'm starting to run out of ideas as to what to do with them so some of the girls at work made me an offer I can't refuse.  I supply them with zucchini and they bring me what they made.  Stuff like zucchini bread, zucchini quiche, zucchini sauteed in brown sugar and honey...   Not a bad deal, especially since I don't have to heat up my house cooking all that stuff.

Ok, so the plum trees aren't producing and the pickle tree is almost toast from all that sun and heat, the strawberries are still going strong.  At this rate I might have to add another hanging basket for the runners.

The big mystery is the melon patch.  Some of the watermelons are visible but the cantaloupe and honeydews have so much foliage it's impossible to see what's underneith without stepping on the plants.  It's hard to believe two months ago frost was killing all the plants.
Crazy world, aint it?
 
Mental note...  Next time I'll use a trellis.

is there a market for these shirts?

I don't know why I find this pic so amusing.

I'd love to know the story behind it.

jupiter 2-2

This may look like a rather yummy bunt cake but this thing of beauty is the new and improved Jupiter 2 from the previous post.  I'm sticking with Jupiter 2 rather than the suggested name of Jupiter tutu.  The original Jupiter 2 is the space craft the Robinson family motored around the cosmos in to get lost in space.  Jupiter tutu sounds like something a transvestite ballerina might wear.

At any rate, I gave this unit an additional casting to make both sides equal, and then topped it off with a thin layer of clear resin and powdered selenite, making it look like gooey, sugary icing.  The original central core, although perfect for the cascading orb, wasn't the correct density for this unit so I had to create a new one with the same density as the toroid center of the main unit.

The idea is to create an energy field much stronger than ordinary orgonite and many times more potent than the same design without a torus shape.  Add a powered mobius coil and you'll have one serious, kick ass unit.  I included a central core of the same material the inner torus is made of with an embedded DT quartz.  The top orb widens the dispersal pattern, making it possible to feel this succor a good 30 feet away.  There's no exaggeration here.   The horizontal energy this thing put out went through three walls, one with aluminum siding, and still left our skin tingling.  Unknown what it's vertical range is but I'll bet the birds feel it, as well as that airplane that kept circling the house for 2 hrs this afternoon.

Clearly, further testing needs to be done.  In the meantime, I'll sleep on this succor and see what happens on the 4th.

jupiter 2

Remember the ring generator I made last week?  That was only half of the project I've been working on.  Yesterday I finished the thing that encases the ring generator, for lack of a better term.

If I may use a metaphor, this huge chunk of orgonite is like a bunt cake, where the creamy custard center is an extremely dense mixture of resin and sub-micron sized metals surrounding 100 feet of mobius coil.  The medium density orgonite surrounding this is like the fluffy cake part of the bunt cake, only this bunt cake weighs about 15 lbs, not including the central core.

When Orgone Matrix Material of very high density is cast into a ring or torus shape, it becomes more active even without external stimulation than if cast in a disk of the same diameter and thickness. When the cascading density concept is applied to the shape of the torus, the effects can be quite dramatic. If the cascading density layers are arranged like three concentric pipes made of orgone matrix material, with the highest density at the center, then each layer acts to amplify the one next to it. We get a field with logarithmic gain in Scalar charge density as we approach the center of the torus.

In this case, the center of the torus is a hollow shaft with a removable cylinder of medium density orgonite embedding a wire wrapped double terminated crystal.  The orb defines the energy field pattern emitted through the top.  In this design, it broadcasts the energy in a very wide field, out and above the unit.

I can't stress enough how these cascading densities make this unit kick some serious ass.  After pumping some frequencies through the mobius, you can definitely feel the energy field filling up the room.  There's a distinct energy outline you can feel that doesn't seem to have a top limit.  It starts at the top of the disk and forms an energy field the size of a beach ball that just keeps spreading wider, taller, and stronger with no sign of degradation... so far.  In a word, this device is extreme!

The frequencies I've been using for these experiments are designed for tuning the 7 specific chakras from the root to the crown from 261Hz to 493Hz.  These frequencies are pumped through the unit so it's not the sound to my ears that does the work, because these units don't emit sound, but the amplified essence of these frequencies through the cascading orgonite matrix, broadcasted through the house while I'm deep in alpha sleep.   So far the results are dramatic and I feel my mind, body, and spirit are improving with each nights sleep.

This unit won't be complete until I give it an outer coat of resin and powdered selenite.

I'll keep ya posted.

10 things you don't need to know about

The mainstream media is running a 24 hour news cycle focusing purely on the BP oil spill.  I find it interesting that there doesn't seem to be any news on the planet other than all that crude in the gulf.

Here are a few news items the mainstream news media feels we don't need to know about.

1. Israeli nuclear submarines positioned close to Iran:

Three German-built Israeli submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles are to be deployed in the Gulf near the Iranian coastline.  Israeli subs have visited the Gulf before but the decision has now been taken to ensure a permanent presence of at least one of the vessels.

2. Iran war propaganda:
US intelligence has shown Iran could launch an attack against Europe with “scores or hundreds” of missiles, prompting major changes to US missile defenses, Pentagon chief Robert Gates said on Thursday.
The anti-Iran rhetoric has amplified following the revelation that many Bilderberg members, including Zbigniew Brzezinski, are now in favor of U.S. air strikes on Iran and are “leaning towards war,”.
“Some of them in Europe are saying no we shouldn’t do it but most of them are in favor of American air strikes on Iran,” Bilderberg sluth Jim Tucker relayed from the recent meeting in Spain. “They’re tilting heavily towards green lighting a U.S. attack on Iran.”

3. The continuing economic slide:
The greatest bankster heist in history and the looming greatest depression rumbles on.
Gold has hit record highs as the dollar slumps and the Euro continues to face complete collapse. Unemployment figures in the U.S. are through the roof and U.S. consumer prices posted their largest fall in nearly 1-1/2 years in May.
Rumours in Europe persist regarding an impending bailout for Spain, while Russia says it is ready to found a "new economic world order".


4. FCC ready to restrict the Internet:
The federal government would have “absolute power” to shut down the Internet under the terms of a new US Senate bill being pushed by Joe Lieberman, legislation which would hand President Obama a figurative “kill switch” to seize control of the world wide web in response to a Homeland Security directive.
Lieberman has been pushing for government regulation of the Internet for years under the guise of cybersecurity, but this new bill goes even further in handing emergency powers over to the feds which could be used to silence free speech under the pretext of a national emergency.

5. Obama/Blagojevich story
As the Blagojevich trial continues and important details emerge, linking Obama to possible political corruption, Federal prosecutors are seeking a gag order to keep the ex-Governor and his lawyers from making public comments.

6. UN small arms treaty
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently announced that the Obama Administration would be working hand in glove with the U.N. to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.” 
Congressman Paul Broun characterizes the U.N.’s Small Arms Treaty as “nothing more than a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.” The treaty would force national governments to acquiesce to a global gun registry, while strengthening licensing procedures so as to make it almost impossible for a citizen to legally purchase a gun. It would also ban the private sale of semi-automatic weapons and ultimately lead to the confiscation and destruction of all “unauthorized” firearms owned by citizens.

7. Mexicans riot in LA/Land given over to Mexico
Violent scenes following the LA Lakers’ championship-clinching win over the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals saw angry mobs smashing their way through the streets waving Mexican flags as they went.
Meanwhile, a massive stretch of Arizona has become effectively off limits to Americans, Prompting questions over whether the Obama administration is giving a major strip of the south-west back to Mexico.

8. Obama Plans To Sneak Through Carbon Tax By Stealth
President Obama is planning to sneak through his job-killing, economy wrecking carbon tax by stealth according to the Washington Post, by passing a weakened bill and then adding in cap and trade provisions after the heat is off following the November elections.
Described as the “lame duck climate strategy,” Obama is planning to secure enough votes in the Senate to pass a weakened energy bill and then drag out the conference long enough to ensure the stronger provisions contained in the original House version are added “after lawmakers have faced voters in November, thereby cushioning the vote’s political impact.”

9. Afghanistan Mineral Riches Story Is War Propaganda
News that the U.S. has suddenly discovered $1 trillion-worth of mineral deposits in Afghanistan, and descriptions of the bounty as a “game changer” by the corporate media, represent nothing more than crude war propaganda designed to reinvigorate public support for a failing and ever more pointless occupation.

10. Free Speech Gag Bill Moving in House
H.R. 5175, The so-called DISCLOSE Act would severely limit the ability of political groups to communicate to their members and the general public.
Politico reports that, the NRA bargained for an exemption for itself and other large, established groups while trampling the rights of private citizens, new political groups, like Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty, and other small organizations.
As John Bresnahan reports, “The proposal would exempt organizations that have more than 1 million members, have been in existence for more than 10 years, have members in all 50 states and raise 15 percent or less of their funds from corporations… The NRA, with 4 million members, will not actively oppose the DISCLOSE Act, according to Democratic sources.”

So, ya think the Florida beaches will be cleaned up by Labor Day?

friday morning 6:15 am

We all have these little science projects going in our refrigerators but seldom do we do anything with them other than filling our garbage cans once in a while.
 
This specimen used to be a rancid, multi-colored lump of rotting vegetation under the condiment shelf in the fridge.  Rather than toss it, the thought occurred to me to plant it and see what happens.

I'm not quite sure what to make of it but I intend to let it go and see what develops.

I should point out that since this monster's resurrection it's been sitting next to my orgone sky cleaner along with a few other plants like the hanging zucchini and strawberry plants that happen to be spreading like crabgrass across the porch beam.

I wonder if the orgonite I keep in the fridge has anything to do with this specimen lasting since fall?  

I was working in the lab late last night

The last unit didn't seem strong enough to suit me so I set out to modify it's design.  Rather than a central core of extremely high density material with a hollow shaft running through it I decided I needed a central core more like a large bagel surrounded by less dense orgonite.

Searching for the proper mold for this project wasn't as easy as it seems.  Where can you find a mold that closely resembles an over-sized bagel?  It got to the point where I was eying up the bagels in Walmart, thinking I could coat one with polyurethane to make a plaster mold.  After making a suitable clay mold I discovered the perfect mold was the plastic housing the weed wacker string comes in.
 
Long story short, I made the inner ring and was contemplating what to use for an outer mold when I thought it might be a good idea to see how this thing works.

I hooked up the inner mobius to the amplified frequencies, inserted an orgonite ball, and felt this unit sing.  Only half way complete and it's already many times more effective than the last unit with twice the range.  Assisting me in this project, The Canuck chimed in with, "Put it under water.  Let's see if it makes waves, eh?"  Hmmmm...  not a bad idea, so I soldered a couple water proof extensions and dropped it in a large pyrex bowl full of water with the expectation of seeing the energy creating patterns on the surface.  Yeah, there were some rhythmic ripples but that was nothing compared to the totally unexpected rush of energy emanating from this bowl.  On it's own, this unit puts out some good, raw energy but immersed in water seems to take the edge off it while increasing the flow.  You can feel the energy field around it, like the flame on a candle, with no loss of power as high as I could reach.  This set The Canuck to tingling.

I left the ring on and spent the night laughing in my sleep.

Sweet dreams, indeed.

spiritual alignment... $49.99

The thought came to me that if I made a multi-layered field generator with a hollow one inch diameter shaft through the center I could possibly ramp up the power.

This unit has a central core of resin and sub-micron metals housing a mobius coil surrounded by an orb of MHD orgonite.  The cylinder to the left is the MHD central core with a coiled DT crystal.  The medium high density and extra high density layers make this unit, theoretically, really kick ass.  The small orb on top is the perfect shape for broadcasting the energy in the widest possible field.

I was somewhat disappointed when I hooked up the zapper.  I guess I was expecting blue lightning bolts zapping the room like a tesla coil on orgone steroids but all I got was a slight tingling sensation when holding my hand over it.  What I needed was more power, or at least, a different kind of power.

I've been playing with Solfeggio tones for awhile and considered these tones as a good replacement for the standard alpha wave frequencies produced from my frequency generator.  I needed more sharps and flats and perhaps frequency layers might bring some life to this unit.  I decided on the specific seven frequencies designed for chakra alignment beginning with 493Hz for the crown chakra and ending with 261Hz for the root.  I downloaded an hours worth of these frequencies into an MP3 player hooked into the amp with a speaker wire connected to the internal mobius.  The effects were rather impressive.

I set the unit up directly under the master bedroom, fired up the tunes, and let the frequencies run all night as it affected my dreams.  The effect was nothing less than amazing.  For five days I've been sleeping like a baby, waking up easily, high energy throughout the day, better memory, better focus, better drive, and I feel as if I'm being "tuned up" from the inside out.  I feel calmer, less irritated, less stressed out, more balanced, experiencing more synchronicities, happier, and content with the world no matter how fucked up it is.  I simply can't be bothered by mundane bullshit anymore... and I like it.
 
Weird science, man.  Don't ya love it?

It must be a part of our genetic structure but there's something satisfying about cooking meat over an open fire.  Springtime seems to open our primitive, culinary floodgates with thoughts of different combination's of spices, and new and better ways to prepare mammal flesh enter our consciousness.

There's nothing new about Kansas City Ribs.  They've been around for a long time but I never made em... til yesterday.  All I can say is OH MY GAWD!

A word of warning... If you're of the fast food mindset and want your burgers and dogs the way you want them RIGHT NOW and can't stand the lines at McDonalds because you don't have 5 extra minutes to spare from your busy, drone lives, don't even attempt this.  You don't just throw the meat in the fire and pull it out when the fat turns to charcoal. This is a two-step process that requires a spice rub, sauce, and at least three and a half hours cooking time over low, indirect heat.  I suggest you fire up a second grill for the easy stuff like dogs, steaks, and burgers because this is an all day process and you'll need something to keep up your strength.

If you're interested in the details, let me know and I'll be glad to send you something.

BTW, although it's not needed, I added an ordinary entree fork to this pic to show scale.

it's all true

I was sitting in the sun this morning contemplating whether we actually landed on the moon.  The official story is we did but there's a mountain of evidence we didn't and I was searching for the truth.

And then it dawned on me...  It's all true.

The Copenhagen interpretation of whether light is a particle or a wave threw classical physics out the window.
They set up experiments to show light was a wave with apparatus and mathematics and it proved light was a wave.  They then set up experiments to show light was a particle and had apparatus and mathematics that proved it to be a particle with results to show just that.  This quantum jumping was enough to drive Heisenberg to madness.  The concept that something would change to whatever you're looking for was so totally absurd but so totally correct.

Why couldn't the Copenhagen interpretation be applied to everyday events?  Indeed, why should it be excluded?

The many-worlds interpretation, according to Hugh Everett, loosely states there is a very large, perhaps infinite number of universes, and everything that could possibly have happened in our past, but didn't, has occurred in the past of some other universe or universes, altering the time-line for those universes. 
As far as whether we landed on the moon, it's not just a yes or no answer.  There are many interpretations and all of them are true.

Did we go to the moon?  Yes.
Did we not go to the moon but stage the events because we knew we'd never make it?  Yes.
Did we go to the moon using plundered alien technology?  Yes.
Are aliens on the moon watching us?  Yes.
Do we have a base on the moon?  Yes.
Do aliens have a base on the moon?  Yes.
Is no one on the moon?  Yes.
Is the moon non-existent?  Yes.

Whatever theory we conceive we can find proof to back up our theories because all of these occurrences happened in other worlds, if not our own, and these separate universes are all merging the closer we get to 2012.

Is it any wonder the world is so fucked up?  Look to yourself for the answer because, like it or not, we're all part of the problem AND the solution.

All of a sudden the world isn't so black and white.

don't blame me...

Before the last presidential election people would ask me who I plan to cast my vote for.  Of course, I didn't feel good about either of the ass clowns our two-party system came up with.  I couldn't even decide who could possibly be the lessor of two evils.  Nuke-em-all McCain and Barry I'll-say-anything-you-want-to-hear Obama both made my skin crawl for different reasons and because of this I couldn't morally cast a vote for either of these guys no matter which one was worse than the other.  In my opinion, BOTH were worse than the other and I think the presidential election should have more thought put into it than flipping a coin as to who's going to fuck us over slower.

So, when people asked who I voted for many of them got very indignant.  "You threw your vote away!  You HAVE to vote for one of the 2 guys or your vote won't count!"

Maybe so but doesn't that prove that our elections were rigged from the start?  Just look at the ONLY two guys we could vote for... An old man who would've died in office leaving an Alaskan beauty queen as president or a guy born in Kenya.  A nation of 300,000,000 people and this is the best we could come up with?  I don't know about the rest of you McCain loyalists or Barry Obama assholes but I certainly feel insulted.  It's as if the powers that be sent out the very worst they could think of, knowing we the people would vote for one of them because that's all we've got.

I wonder if it's too early to get out my new bumper sticker?

space invaders

I was running around today taking care of business.  Nothing really noteworthy.  Just the usual hunt for stuff we think we need when we have time to do it.  Today it was gas for the grill, an espresso maker, coffee, and a package waiting for me at the post office.  You know... the usual crap.

As I was getting around in my metal and plastic, fossil fuel consuming conveyance and looked out over a sea of houses, concrete sidewalks, manicured lawns, and people from every walk of life driving around in these tin-can constructs, it dawned on me.

We're not supposed to be here!

We've been in this artificial world for so long we think all this stuff is normal, as if this is the way it's supposed to be.  Now, I'm not advocating giving up air conditioning, central heat, apartment complexes or cars.  Hell, we need all that stuff in order to survive.  Our fragile species can't handle temps lower than 60 degrees or much higher than 90.  That's a 40 degree range we require in order to sustain life.  Sure, we can live in the Arctic or the Sahara but that requires suitable clothing, a decent shelter, a mode of transportation and enough food and water for as long as we're out there... and that's the bare minimum.

It's estimated that 40% of the forested land on this planet cannot sustain human life.  It's too far away from roads and without a road to get us there, we don't go.  Think about this.  When you go on a camping trip do any of you actually just go and leave the car at home?  You need that vehicle to transport all the stuff you need like a tent, food supplies, fluids, cell phones, MP3 players, DVD players, laptops, makeup bag, air-conditioned RV, gas grill, beer, fishing poles, extra clothing, etc.  No other species on this planet needs extra clothing let alone all that other crap.  We can't survive one night without a shelter strong enough to insulate us from everything we went out there for in the first place.  Every year guys gear up, grab a hunting rifle and head to the woods and some never come back because they got lost and died from exposure... and they even dressed for it AND had a meat killing weapon!  Show me one animal dumb enough to do that.

What amazes me is no one seems to realize just how unsuited to this planet we really are.  It's as if it's perfectly normal that we don't have enough body hair to keep us warm, we're incapable of producing our own vitamin C, and we need to invent Gore-tex, buttons, and electric socks to make up for what nature forgot.  Even natural selection has nothing to do with humanity.  We're all a bunch of egotistical freaks who think we're too smart to survive the old fashioned way.  And that brain we're so proud of?  We can only use about 10% of it.  We're the only Earth species that can't use 100% of what we pride ourselves with most.

It's as if we're all Robinson Crusoe aliens from another planet, constructing emergency bio-shelters, environmental life support suits, and machines to rapidly escape dangerous situations because we can't physically take on even the lowest life form.

We should leave now.  This camping trip is over.
