Or it may have exploded 4400 years ago and it will be another 100 or so years before we detect the first signs. Or if quantum mechanic, gravity, etc. applies would not the change in space be noted as changed here, but not perhaps physically different?
What we do know is that it did not explode 4600 years ago. That it did not affect the Pharaoh before Moses, but perhaps around Moses time, some 3500 years ago, but not Noah’s Ark flood some 4600 years ago, there was some quantum marker.

This is how islam treats women. I use the small case for the i in islam as we now have a word for it. They are given a pass, although all proof has shown what criminals they are. People think it is not ‘right’ to question another’s free expression, even as it endeavors to devour you. Is this the ‘bunny’ response of freezing, based on a total distorted (to humans) a nor ephineprine overflow and totalling eliminating the ephinephrine call to fight, to oppose that which wishes to injure, or kill me. I recognize true, or true enough, threat to my life that I initiate all defensive or offensive measures to overwhelm my executioner or worse torturer. Silence, you are inferior and therefore would do best to sit quietly and await the judgement of those who are stronger than you ( or at least it appears so, but without any real investigation…. you get where I’m going… for get the quotes. you figure it out. Code, not Code Pink or wait…..
FBI swoops in to halt return of ‘Muslim Mafia’ documents
History, Law, Uncommon Sense, Humor?
Someday, someone might consider this funny. It kind of reminds me of that guy Berger, stuffing those original documents into his socks from the national archives, getting arrested after they notice that they were gone, but were careful to see that ‘nothing’ was discovered missing. How could they, they were original?
Somehow, with Holder’s FBI, the documents captured after a judge wants to return them, like an abused child to the drunken, whoring parents, and so too they would soon become quiet.
So what’s really in these documents? Maybe you need to read the book ‘Muslim Mafia’ to find out.
On a separate note, I was doing some research on geneological books that Google has scanned and offered as free downloads as they are out of copyright… yeah.. old documents. One even called my great grandfather a genius… now that’s comforting.
Well I ran across a document called ‘Pennsylvania Magazine of History, published April, 1889 from the Harvard Library. Page 265-70 has an article called, ‘The First Printed Protest Against Slavery in America’… and it surprised me.. a little. The date and who originated it. It is not a surprise that it is both a new and old testament referenced argument for the evil of slavery. One griping reference was… ‘…a far greater Crime under Moses’s Law than the stealing of Goods: for such were only to restore four fold, but he that stealeth a Man and selleth him, if he be found in his had, he shall surely be put to Death, Exod.21.16.’
Then I looked up ‘slavery Islam’ in Wikipedia, and got the word that generally and particularly in Wihabiasm it is still OK. So we can be confident that Ms. Natalie Holloway in Aruba, who Vander Sloot admittedly sold for $10k (to avoid prison in Thialand, where he was also caught) is but the downpayment what a young white woman is worth to a Sheik’s harem.
This puts a more clear light on just what Salmon Rushdie in ‘Satanic Verses’ is referring to in Islam, and why HE is to be defeated. Truth is not necessary in Islam: Power is.
This should govern you thoughts and mindset as you approach a reasoned community in which Islamic believers are given equal status. They begin as criminals unless you too believe that it is ok to hold slavery as legal.
One of the first steps should and can be to deny Islam non-profit status. Not because they have a special tax for non-believers in their ‘open’ societies, but because they are not a religion… not a morally justifiable entity.
But here’s the kicker, that original objection to slavery was written in August, 1698 … a hot month especially for Quakers in Pennsylvania… Nixon was a Quaker…. now you get it?

The Season of Stuff
History, Human Affairs ‘More blessed not to burden others with stuff, than not to burden yourself.’ Another reason I hate to shop…. I usually find stuff, I want…. not really need. Think of a gift that does not ‘burden’ another, that they need, that fills a need.In a few days, the Season of Stuff will officially begin. During this season, we are actively encouraged to get more stuff, buy more stuff, give stuff to those we “love”, and be thankful for the stuff we have.
This Friday, for instance, sellers of stuff will drop prices to all time lows in order to make it easier for you to give and receive this stuff. Of course, this is in the hopes that the money saved on this stuff will encourage you to buy other non-discounted stuff. You know this, of course, right? You cherry pick the cheap stuff and leave the other stuff for the suckers, right? Of course you do…
All of this stuff will generate a bunch of stuff to be thrown away or recycled. Wrapping, packaging, spent gift cards – they all have to end up somewhere. Not to mention all of the stuff we had to build and machines we run in order to make the stuff we give and receive.Then once the season is over, in fact the very next day, comes the inevitable stuff we have to return (for cash to buy stuff if you have the receipt, exchange for different stuff if not).
Just try to remember that there are plenty of ways to deal with this stuff. You can pledge to get rid of an amount of stuff equal to the amount you receive. You can let those who love you know that you do not want more stuff but want something less tangible instead (breakfast in bed, money for a favorite charity, etc.). Ask for specific stuff you really truly need that will add years of value to your life on a daily basis… and stuff. The point is, control the stuff. Don’t let the stuff control you.

Called ‘tip of the iceberg’, it’s hard to stop the train that put Obama in office. The stuffing of ballots is about as easy as stuffing the Thanksgiving turkey. Chicago’s Dailey’s have been doing it since or before Jack Kennedy won Illinois and the presidency. The fact that Obama paid almost $900k to a shell org. of ACORN, and then finally had to admit it was for ‘getting out the vote.’ … (not mentioned in this article, but is established.)
If Nixon’s offense of breaking into a file cabinet were impeachment-worthy … these and other offenses, especially his pretension of intellect. Haven’t seen a grade from primary school, have you? Was the first black at Harvard’s editor, but then he did have a pulse, and an Arab sheik backer… good for endowment. As an aside, Georgetown U. in my wife’s day, had a special dorm for the Arabs, palacial, private, and with all the acutraments of privilege including the bowls of pistachio nuts, huka pipes and others… for the religion of peace, that still condones slavery.

Debka.com notes this quote upon Syria wanting Israel to give back Golan before they agree to negotiate peace. (Syria attacked Israel in 1967, but that doesn’t matter, right?)
Netanyahu proposed similarly that Syria give up military accords with Iran, and then they would negotiate. Maybe it was too much of Netanyahu’s MIT trained wit, but Syria didn’t seem to wage an response.

Back in the 1960’s when the euphemism ‘heath insurance’ was being offered, my dad, who owned an early Xerox machine, kept each patient’s finances on a card, and would copy the card and send it to the address on the card as the invoice. Some patients didn’t have a lot of money to pay; some payed quickly, and the most risky performance was when a patient’s teenage kids volunteered to ‘roof over’ our home’s shingle roof, and never having done it before, loaded the 100 lb bundles in the middle of a roof span, and proceeded to start the shingles from the top down, insuring that any water would find its way underneath the next shingle. I arrived home from college in 1968 and saw the porch roof bowing about 8 inches in the middle, and could not believe what was going on. Luckily, they had just started and the roof didn’t collapse.
Moral: there is a hazard of relying on the old fashioned way and barter.
But dad wisely noted that with insurance costs would double. You introduce a whole new layer of greed and fear. ‘Get profits while you can, and is my actuarial correct to make the policy so cheap.
For several most of my years, especially as self-employed I didn’t want insurance, or what I call, a ‘medical-industrial welfare system’. ‘Do no harm’ is a secondary consideration when any amount of money can be thrown at a problem. A relative was given the choice with malignant colon polyps to have them removed for $5k and they probably would come back, or $50k and never have the problem… ‘just remove the colon, get a bag, and whoopee. I can’t believe she chose the latter, but $400k later, after they twisted her bowel in the 1st operation and she almost died, the 2nd operation fully incapacitated her and a slow and limited recovery ended her life within 2 yrs. of the operation… from the operation. The insurance picked up the whole tab… thank you so very much.
Another: my son was victimized because we had only ‘emergency insurance’… and they did harm there; I won that lawsuit…but just enough to stop them from bankrupting me, for the harm they did.
Another: My mother, on Vioxx, cleaning up after a social event at home with daughter and husband, suffered a torn aorta.. she was revived, but died the next day. That medicine was to ‘cure’ the pain of arthritis.
There’s more, but it gets really personal.
Here’s the news flash: according to a health bulletin magazine I received it states that ‘stomach lining is replaced every 10 days, liver is replaced every 6 months, joints are replaced every 6 months, skin is replaced every 3 months… you get the point.
Well what makes them? What you eat, duh. So the more preservatives like nitrites in meats which cause leukemia, pesticide residue, selecticide residue, herbicide residue, hormones for animal growth …. all these thing compromise the ability of food to supply healthy replacement components to rebuild from those little DNA, RNA, etc. instruction programs. Many pesticides and other poisons are designed to mimick the building blocks and when they get there, they shut the system reconstruct down…even artificial sugars trigger a sweet receptor but when you need energy…. where’s the sugar then? I call artificial sweetners ‘neurotoxins’.
But we blithely spray our lawns, flowers, and foods with every excelerant of profit possible… or beauty. I don’t and I have a front lawn of now pale purple orchid-like flowers that bees have now just started to return to. This plant is kind of a serial-killer to other plants as like kudzoo, it climbs up over everything and seems to reach down into every flower pot and grow… I love the stuff… and my few honey bees that seem to be returning. Maybe this stuff has a cure for the virus or whatever is killing off honey bees.
I digress… but we have a government that instead of shutting down poison, claims a life necessary molecule CO2 is the evil doer… and hell-bent stupids are trying to ‘sequester’ CO2. All the while chopping down forests, mowing grass, paving greenspace, and eliminating the feedback loop which is photosynthesis for controlling CO2. All the while letting the poison manufacturers off the hook, or even encouraging them. Well I guess those political campaign funds are going to be kept full… because both sides don’t want to solve the problem, they just want to defeat each other. If the answer is 2, then one side says ‘ZERO’ and the other side says ‘FOUR’. And not just on the chemical feast of the golf course greenery.
I vote no.

‘Yours is a religion of peace’ … but jihad is forcing those who don’t believe to choose … or die… and then there’s ‘honor killing’, just in case you get an idea to fiddle with some one else.. or the contract out for Salman Rushdie with ‘Satanic Verses’ exposed the evil in the cult called ‘Muslim’.

Well, one defender of ACORN liked the fact that she told the ‘whore reporter’ : ‘not to give up’ . ‘See’, the commenter explains, ‘she’s for the kids’.
Oh but another commenter rebutts, ‘How much for the kids?’
This reminds me of Elizabeth’s brilliant ‘China’ magazine project in middle school. 19th century China being subdued by opium, prostitution and the ensuing mass poverty, which didn’t bring them into the industrial age, but kept them agrarian, fighting to produce enough food. My question, is this where ACORN and the rest of the ‘British Elites circa 19th Century China’ want to lead us so they can pillage the wealth of our nation …. give it to the Elites and keep all as peasants to grovel before government for everything…. education, health, food, housing? Looks like it.
Interesting that Palin (seemingly non sequitor) equated her email being hacked into is comparable to the Watergate breakin which brought Nixon to his knees… and I do think they are comparable …. but nothing is mentioned of it.

Getting It Wrong: Surprising Tips on How to Learn: Scientific American

My thoughts on this is this engages Associative Memory, or Short Term As. Mem. (STAM). And it locates one of the topological elements giving a registration and then allowing a match when the information comes into focus. This seems to be what word pairs measure. Mapping learning or Sequential or STSM as in learning say the Krebs cycle or a physics problem where several equations have to be solved in some order is not addressed here. Although there may be some Associations in problems that are also Sequential…. need more research there to really make this workable….I think sequentially and associatively…. Did you know that STAM is located in the Amydala, and also has a lot to do with anger…
