ah i wouldnt worry about the ramp im pretty shure we will have enough trucks like my diesel to pull people up if they need it.
I can hardly wait, been spending most of this spring getting prepped. I got the hitch fabbed up and on the camper (so I can tandem the boat behind), ran the trailer wiring for the boat yesterday. Getting ready to do bearings on both the camper and boat trailer. Everything is looking pretty good. I have been squeezing in a few fishing trips now and then, although I have nothing to brag about so far this spring, lol. Michele has been on me about going camping, so I recon a trip to Cataract is in the near future, it will be a good shake down trip for the tandem towing experience.
I havent come up with any ideas for the gathering dinner yet, but it looks like everybody else is in the same boat as I havent seen much posted yet. Bill, are you going to start a food thread like we have done in the past?
Later fellas.
I can't wait either Barry!!! As you might have noticed. I'll just keep going down there until everyone shows up ;) I will be down early, on Wednesday, so any food I can contribute will come from the nearest grocery store as I'll have no real way to keep anything fresh. Anyone for BBQ shad? Lol!!
The bait shop is up and running,camp grounds are mowed off,and both entrance & exit ramps have been re-surfaced with the dozer"Thank you Alan & Cathy.....Already have seen 4-5 different campers come "enjoy" and go....the fish are coming on.....We are ready here in New Amsterdam!!!

Sponaugle Wellness Institute Treats Yolanda Foster For Lyme
"Thank you Dr. Sponaugle for putting me back on my feet!
My girlfriend Suzanne Somers told me about The Spounagle Wellness Institute because the Doctor had cured her grand daughter Violet from Lyme disease.
The truth is, no matter how sick you are, nobody is ready to pack up and leave their family behind to go to Clearwater, Florida. The same happened to me until my son Anwar reminded me that even though I had been home in bed for the past 6 months, I wasn't really participating in life. I had become the shell of the woman I use to be and spent my days starring at the ceiling.
I went from a hard working, multi-tasking social butterfly to living in a mentally paralyzed cocoon. I was not able to read, process information, write or do something as simple as watch t.v.
90 days of multiple Intravenous antibiotics did me more harm then good, my body was a toxic waste dump and I had yeast coming out of every part of my body.
Originally I committed to spending 3 weeks at The Institute in Florida until I realized what an incredible progress I was making and finally gladly stayed for 6.
Obviously it would not be fair to expect to be cured from Chronic Lyme disease in 6 weeks after years of suffering but I am definitely feeling 80% better and am looking forward to continuing my health journey at home while hopefully participating in the normal things in life.
In my eyes Dr. Spounagle is a forward thinker in medicine that is willing to think outside the box. He does not take NO for an answer and will lay out the puzzle until all the pieces fit.
He is an MD that uses integrative medicine and Hi-tech testing to diagnose and show progress in your recovery while working towards the cure for Lyme disease.
Thank you to the team effort at the Spounagle Wellness Institute for making me believe in miracles as I continue this health journey.
I am committed to raising awareness to this silent killer called Chronic neurological Lyme disease and wont stop until proper diagnostic testing and a cure is found!!"
Much Love,
Yolanda Foster

ROME, N.Y. -- The City of Rome unanimously approved their 2013 budget Wednesday night and residents say they are thankful for the changes that were made.
When the budget was first presented in October, Mayor Joe Fusco announced a tax hike of more than five percent for residents living outside city lines. But after months of work and crunching numbers, the tax hike is down to 0.7 percent.
Council members say cuts throughout the city were made to bring the tax rate down.
"These are tough economic times. It's going to be a difficult year and this is definitely a bare bones budget," Rome Councilmember Frank Anderson said.
City council members say their biggest struggle is a lack of revenue and in order to stay afloat, they'll have to start getting creative to find other sources of income.

According to the University of Connecticut's Research & Development Corporation / Renzulli Learning Systems, Woodlawn Elementary School teacher Jeri Lavespere "amazed us (with her story) and demonstrated how a strengths-based teaching approach (using technology) produced dramatic results in raising achievement." Lavespere, a National Board Certified teacher, applied for the corporation's grant award while at Wedgewood Elementary School.
For her hard work, Lavespere was awarded the 2009 Better Teaching & Learning through Technology Grant worth $1,000 for use at her school. She was picked from thousands of applications for her ability "to motivate students, influence change and encourage and support innovative teaching methods …."
Wedgewood Elementary School had an opportunity to get school report card bonus points for scoring Proficient in the subjects of Social Studies and Science, and Lavespere was determined to reach that mark with her students. "I realized I had to reinvent myself to be able to incorporate 21st-Century technology skill," she said. Therefore, in January 2009 she began a new instructional approach using Renzulli Learning Systems components to teach both subjects.
Lavespere used interactive Renzulli sites to match grade-level expectations while addressing the Comprehensive Curriculum at Wedgewood Elementary, moved on to virtual field trips and assignments and had students working online at their own pace based on learning styles found through the Renzulli Profiler. Students began requesting additional work or sent in inquiries and were excited about learning. Teacher-student messaging allowed for monitoring individual progress, and students also began working with their families at home with online activities and quizzes that gave immediate feedback.
As a result, standardized test scores in Lavespere's Wedgewood Elementary School class made tremendous gains in the spring of 2009. The school received a total of 400 bonus points for improving previous year test scores, and one student moved up three levels to Mastery designation in Social Studies.
For more information, contact Lavespere at Woodlawn Elementary School, (225) 756-3681, or Wedgewood Elementary Principal Sherry Harris at (225) 753-7301 or log on to www.renzullilearning.com.

Honestly, if these so called leaders had to pull together as a collective, they couldn't muster the power to pull a greasy string out of a dogs ass.. Hack.2e
Go to Admin » Appearance » Widgets » and move Gabfire Widget: Social into that MastheadOverlay zone
Efforts to avoid an unprecedented U.S. default enter crunch time on Friday, with President Barack Obama and top lawmakers engaged in a sometimes chaotic drive to strike a sweeping deficit-reduction deal.
With the clock ticking toward an August 2 deadline to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, Obama and the senior Republican in Congress, House Speaker John Boehner, worked toward a plan that could include up to $3 trillion in spending cuts but might leave tax reform for later, congressional aides said.
The main obstacle remained the issue of tax increases that Obama's Democrats demand and Republicans vehemently oppose. There were conflicting accounts of how and when higher revenue might kick in, and the White House vowed there would be no deal without this.
Negotiations have whipsawed between competing and even conflicting options, and leaders on both sides face resistance within their own ranks to some ideas now gaining traction.
"There will be plenty of haggling over the details of all these plans in the days ahead," Obama said in an appeal for compromise in a USA Today opinion piece. "But right now, we have the opportunity to do something big and meaningful."
The focus is on what congressional sources say is shaping up as a wide-ranging package of deficit cuts over 10 years, something many in Washington hope will help save America's triple-A credit rating. Rating agencies have threatened a U.S. bond downgrade without a comprehensive deficit-cutting deal.
Negotiators have struggled to break their impasse and winnow options for raising the government's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling. Failure to reach a deal to increase U.S. borrowing authority would render the world's biggest economy unable to pay all of its bills.
But confusion has grown amid a patchwork of proposals aimed at finding what a senior Democratic aide called the "magic formula" for resolving the crisis, which has dominated Washington's agenda for weeks.
"Frankly, we've looked at a half a dozen fallback plans, none of which are all that appetizing," Boehner — struggling with Tea Party lawmakers largely opposed to any compromise with Obama — told conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.
Some Democrats have complained about what they see as Obama too willing to make concessions on social spending cuts and unhappy if he agrees to no immediate tax increases.
A gathering of Democratic congressional leaders at the White House late on Thursday was meant to not only inform them of developments but to possibly placate their concerns.
Friday is essentially the start of crunch time. The White House initially set a July 22 target for a deal that would leave enough time to get it through the legislative process. But it has backed off that timeframe in recent days with both sides still far apart on the issues.
If Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling in time, the United States would default on its obligations, possibly plunging the country back into recession and sparking a crisis in financial markets worldwide.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said earlier there had been momentum toward a "balanced" deficit agreement, but he insisted: "We are not close to a deal."
Despite the gulf between the two sides, reports that negotiators were starting to close in a debt deal helped fuel a rally in U.S. and world stocks on Thursday.
What remained clear was that both sides at still at odds over the thorniest issue on the table — taxes.
Obama told National Public Radio any deal must include some tax increases alongside defense and other spending cuts. Many Republicans vow to oppose any tax hikes, while most Democrats insist on higher taxes for wealthier Americans.
While they could leave comprehensive tax reform for later, Obama and Congress could agree to revenue increases that would end some select tax breaks, such as special breaks enjoyed by ethanol blenders, some Wall Street investors and companies that operate corporate jets, congressional sources said.

Spot-on Bryan. Regardless of the debt crisis, this is a dipstick sampling of the legislative 'talent' we have running this nation, mostly a lack thereof.
From the White House to the lowest member of Congress they're all a bunch of grifters on the make and most, if not all, on the take too.
This nation is in a heap o' trouble for sure…! / : |

Worried about milk supply for my 13 month old
I am still breastfeeding my 13-month-old son, but I feel like my milk supply is diminishing. Let me explain. He eats solid foods three times a day. He usually has a very small breakfast... part of a bagel, lunch and dinner. He nurses five to six times a day for as long as he's not distracted... :) His morning and after nap feedings are usually the longest.
My problem is that in the last 2 months or so I've noticed my breasts don't get nearly as full as they used to... Like not even close! They never leak anymore and hardly ever feel full to the touch. And when I try to pump a bottle I can hardly squeeze 3 to 4 ounces from both sides put together. This may not sound unusual but I used to be able to pump 8 oz. from each side at one sitting! I'm worried he's not getting enough. I hardly ever feel my let down reflex kick in, but I can see milk on his lips when he lets go. I can't pump a full bottle for when I'm away from him, and that makes leaving him to go to school difficult.
How can I increase my milk supply again? Do I need to worry about it? My son is right in the 50th percentile on the growth charts and seems to be growing fine. The reduction in my supply seems to have correlated with the start of my period.... Could that be why it happened?
Any advice would be great. I've read all the articles on increasing production of milk but they all seemed to be geared towards younger children My son already nurses quite a few times a day and since I'm not even going to contemplate waking him up at night to nurse more, I'm stuck! Please help!Question:
Debbi Donovan
Debbi Donovan is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, as well as a retired La Leche League Leader. For more than a decade, Debbi... Read more
Don't worry - I won't even think of suggesting you wake your little guy to nurse in the middle of the night. It sounds to me like he is getting just the amount of milk he needs.
From your description of bountiful milk expression early on (8 ounces per side!!) it sounds like you have a very abundant milk supply. Now, the amount of milk you are expressing is closer to the average amount expressed. Although it can be worrisome, since you have difficulty expressing enough milk to leave for the times you're separated from your baby, it sounds like you still have a great milk supply.
You didn't mention how often you're separated from your little one. Even if you go to school full-time, you shouldn't need a lot of expressed milk for your toddler. Since your baby is eating 3 meals a day, along with breastfeeding, you may want to leave the expressed breastmilk, along with more solid foods, and other healthy drinks for while you're away. He will enjoy nursing when you're together and have solid foods (and a bit of your milk) in your absence.
Remember supply and demand. It is very normal and expected to see a decrease in your milk supply as solid foods become more and more a part of your baby's diet (replacing some of his breastmilk feeds). This is a very important reason it is good for parents to hold off on solids until close to a baby's 6 month birthday. Breastmilk is the nutritional priority during a baby's first year of life.
I would not be concerned about the changes you have noticed in your breasts. As nursing progresses these changes are inevitable and normal. In a typical child-led weaning situation, your baby will gradually cut out nursing sessions until one day you find yourself no longer breastfeeding. (And sometimes, because it is so gradual, it can come as quite a surprise!)
As far as the return of your period, the reduction in your milk supply will only last for a couple of days. With frequent nursing this decrease should be only temporary. My guess is that as solid foods are becoming a more important part of your little one's diet he simply needs to spend less time at your breast, slightly decreasing your milk supply. See my letter, Milk supply greatly reduced after menstruation, for more information. My best wishes in mothering!Answer:

Companies Plan to Show Appreciation
According to a recent poll by Refresh Leadership, nearly 78% of businesses will show gratitude this holiday season through various gestures. The results showed that businesses are evenly divided on their plans to hand out cash bonuses (23%); give a combination of cash, days off, gift cards, and tangible gifts (24%); or not give out any bonuses at all (22%). Following these, 16% plan to give only gift cards, 10% plan to simply give tangible gifts, and 6% plan to just give extra time off. Businesses are seeing the correlation between employer recognition and employee retention, which is the direct result of the majority of companies showing gratitude by offering a bonus or gift.

US Adds 18,000 Temporary Jobs in November
The economy added 18,000 temporary positions during the month of November, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. After the surge in contingent workers, the total rose to 2.56 million workers used to fill contract and temporary posts. Since November 2011, temporary help services have risen by 182,800 jobs. The temporary saturation rate also rose from 1.90 to 1.91% from the previous month. Jobs rose by 3,800 to nearly 3.21 million in the employment services industry, which include temporary help services as well as jobs in staffing agencies and executive search companies. These two sectors showing signs of strength are a good prediction of a stabilizing economy as economists usually surmise that a rise in temporary jobs predicts a rise in full-time positions in the future.

Retailers Report Weak Sales for November
Though businesses experienced a 1.7% gain compared to Nov. 2011, retail sales for November were well under the 4.5 to 5.5% gains expected for this holiday season. November and December make up the highest grossing months of the year as shoppers spend more for the holidays. Retailers can make up to 40% of their annual revenue during this time. Though stores saw a strong showing on Black Friday, the first two weeks of November experienced lackluster sales due to halted enthusiasm caused by Hurricane Sandy, which hit the Northeast on Oct. 29. This region of the country accounts for 24% of nationwide retail sales and lost nearly $4 billion in sales during the first week of November, according to MasterCard Advisors� SpendingPulse, a company that tracks consumer spending.

Consumer Confidence Highest in Five Years
U.S. consumer confidence index, conducted by The Conference Board, an independent business and research association, rose from 73.1 in October to 73.7 in November, which is the best index reading since February 2008. The higher index rate could indicate a strong surge in holiday shopping in December. And as consumer spending makes up nearly 70% of economic activity, this could mean a strong economic end to 2012. When the index is at 90, it means the country is experiencing a healthy economy. The last time the index was above the 90 mark was in December 2007, the first month of the recession. Two months later the index experienced its all-time low of 25.3 but has since recovered drastically. The Conference Board said the higher consumer confidence is in light of a steady growth in jobs over the past several months.

Unemployment Falls to Lowest Rate Since 2008
The U.S. economy added 146,000 jobs in November, driving the unemployment rate to the lowest level since December 2008, according to a monthly report by the Labor Department. Of the jobs added, more than a third came from retail and trade, which could be due in part to the holiday shopping season. In light of hurricane Sandy�s impact on the East coast, economists were predicting the labor force to add only 77,000 jobs in November and for the unemployment rate to rise to 8%, but the rate digressed from 7.9 to 7.7%. The unemployed add up to 12 million people jobless in the U.S., which are 300,000 less than the previous month. This could mean that the rate was impacted by workers dropping out of the labor force.

US Trade Deficit Grows Despite Decrease in Imports
The trade deficit grew 4.9% to $42.2 billion in October as exports declined by 3.6%, the largest decrease since January 2009. Usually, the U.S. trade deficit is more directly related to the nation importing more goods from other countries globally than what is exported, but the fact that imports decreased drastically as well could be a sign of a slowdown in global growth. Imports declined 2.1% from $227.6 billion in September to $222.8 billion, the lowest level in 18 months. The value of exports also dropped from $187.3 to $180.5 billion. During the third quarter, trade only accounted for 0.14% of the GDP.

Fiscal Cliff Hinders Job Growth
Uncertainty on how the economy will fair if the �fiscal cliff� occurs is keeping businesses from being aggressive in spending and hiring. With the government at a stand-still between different ideas of how to best stimulate the economy, employers are worried they will have to pay more taxes and that they may be affected financially by capital gains tax increases. The �fiscal cliff� is a term used to explain what would happen if a series of tax hikes and reductions of $600 billion in stimulus programs occur. The uncertainty of how this government issue will pan out has employers staying conservative and halting hiring plans. Rising at a 1.9% annual rate, productivity levels are at an all-time high as employers are running their businesses on smaller workforces with the same or higher output levels. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernake said that a deal between the differing sides will create a steady economy and could lead to the economy performing well in 2013.

Amidst yellow sandstone arches and California Mission Revival architecture, The Medicine 2.0 +Stanford Summit (otherwise known as the Fourth World Congress on Social Media and Web 2.0 in Health Medicine) set out on a three day journey to challenge its diverse audience to break down silos and expand beyond traditional boundaries. From a focus on research findings and scientific data to dialogue around the future of science, medicine and emerging technology, innovators and thought leaders congregated from around the globe at the state-of the-art Stanford venue, Li Ka Shing Center for Learning & Knowledge. Through the congress, Stanford extended an invitation for open scientific inquiries into the pursuit of teaching, learning, and research, in alignment with its motto. 1
The energy in the room was contagious starting with the unique conference badges that featured personal QR codes (eliminating the need for business cards), lively twitter feed and building of a #med2 community (over 5,000 tweets!), to the theatrical presentations that conveyed unconventional solutions to healthcare issues. From theory to practice–patients, healthcare professionals, academics and executives discussed and debated concepts such as participatory medicine, patient self management, behavioral change, decision making, the quantified self, communities of practice, social networking, gamification, personalized healthcare, and innovation in medical education. There were so many interesting points made at Med2.0, but I've captured a few highlights below:
Abraham Verghese, MD eloquently walked us through the bedside ritual of examining the patient as a critical but threatened skill that is the foundation to the patient-physician relationship. He explained the potential of displacing the patient during the digital age and reliance on technology during the clinical encounter —with more emphasis placed on patient data, rather than the person being treated.
Jennifer Aaker, PhD delivered a brilliant keynote that demonstrated the impact of social media saving lives through storytelling, collaboration, and enabling the wider community to quickly act. The story began with 2 Indian men with AML in search of bone marrow matches and ended with 20,000 South Asians registering as a result of a powerful awareness and social media campaign. Attendees had the opportunity to have their cheeks swabbed and sign up for the Be The Match Registry during the break in the corridors.
The eclectic BJ Fogg, PhD shared his behavior change model which shows that three elements must converge at the same moment for a behavior to occur: B = MAT (Behavior = Motivation x Ability x Trigger).
Susannah Fox gave the closing keynote on the impact of "peer to peer healthcare" where patients are seeking and sharing health advice online. Roadblocks included pockets of offline patients, patients not motivated to engage in their healthcare, silo tools/communities, and lack of awareness of resources. Opportunities included leveraging the power of online caregivers, engagement prompted by life changing diagnoses/events, rise of mobile adoption, and emerging focus of technology that bridges silos and allows data flow. The beacons of change in these efforts include patient, clinician, and technology leaders.
There was a major focus on patient self management platforms in chronic diseases, the Quantified Self and use of digital devices to collect real-time quantifiable patient data, decision support tools to make informed choices, and gaming to change behavior by rewarding patients for meeting health related goals. With all the data being collected, the question is how do you give back the data to patients, synthesize, and set context in a way they can understand?
The use of technology as a catalyst in healthcare improvement was prevalent. From the use of social media and mobile health tools by physicians to communicate and improve clinical workflow to the use of virtual community platforms by patients to share experiences, understand options and obtain social support–It was clear that patients and healthcare professionals are embracing the impact of technology—although not necessarily at the same pace. Patient online usage to share and obtain healthcare information is on the rise; however a research abstract (764) demonstrating physician attitudes towards social media for their own professional education and knowledge sharing showed that usage and intent to use is fairly low. Plagued with social media privacy concerns and associated risks, traditional modes of learning, and lack of clear guidance and policies—physician usage is growing at a snail's pace in comparison.
There was a spotlight on the e-patients, of which 23 received scholarships to attend the conference. Each had a compelling story to tell regarding their personal but at times unfavorable experiences with the healthcare system and how they made informed medical decisions by becoming more empowered and engaged in their healthcare. These real life interactions crystallized key themes conveyed throughout the conference.
Larry Chu, MD was the skilled conductor of this colorful performance, which set the bar high for future Med2.0 conferences. We were each given the opportunity to challenge both established and new orthodoxies in healthcare, infuse innovation and creativity into potential solutions, and explore collaborations among the diverse Med2.0 community to make things happen!
Planning for the 2012 Med2.0 Congress is underway to be held September 15-16th at Harvard Medical School. Stanford will also debut MedicineX in 2012 focused on the intersection of emerging technology and the future of medicine.

Imagine a Merger
Apr 20, 2009
General Nonsense
Companies merge every day. Maybe it's time for countries to do the same, voluntarily. For the sake of discussion, let's say the two countries are the United States and China.
Obviously there are too many obstacles, all psychological, to ever allow this to happen. But it makes me wonder what the benefits could be if it happened.
You could start the discussion by imagining that the U.S. and China would maintain their own leaders and laws much the way a state has a governor and its own local ordinances. The new unified Super Government would only deal with the big issues of global security, trade, and accelerating the benefits of leveraging the resources of both countries.
The Super Government would probably need to be made of equal members from the U.S. and China, and require a 75% majority for any decisions. That limits any actions to things clearly benefitting both groups.
The first obvious benefit to this arrangement is that you wouldn't point nukes at your own nation. Second, international trade negotiations would be easier. Few countries could afford to piss off both the U.S. and China. And I am assuming there could be substantial benefits to closer economic and environmental cooperation.
You could argue that the U.S. and China can already get those benefits by agreeing to any actions that are in their mutual interest. But there is something about being labeled the same country that makes agreement more likely. For example, I know that some states in the U.S. get a bigger piece of the federal spending pie, but I'm not bothered because somehow it's all in the family.
Maybe a U.S. and China merger allows for an elegant solution to the Taiwan situation. Toss Taiwan into the merger, giving them one or two representatives in the Super Government, and a veto over any decision directly affecting their people. On one hand it's effectively no change at all, while on the other hand the leaders of China could say they unified Taiwan with China. Ta-da!
You can find lots of reasons why a merger among very different nations wouldn't work. That's no challenge. The fun part is that this thought experiment demonstrates how much we sacrifice to the limitations of human psychology. When you define some other group as part of your own, everything changes while nothing changes.

I read the rest of these comments, and what is missing from all of them (unless I misread them[i.e. am a total P.H.B.]) is that you're speaking of imperialism. As far as I can tell, it hasn't worked out so well for Persia, Greece, Italy, British Guinea, El Salvador, the Phillipines, any African nation, Columbia, Panama, Grenada, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, the Czech Republic (or Czechoslovakia[?]), or most nations. We only invite the one power with a lot of power because of natural resources or the ability to blow the $#!* out of the other to abuse the relationship (which the USA has admittedly been prone to).
I'm sure my comments amount to the drunken rambling that accompanies those that work graveyard shifts. Enjoy the mockery.

There's a fundamental difference between companies and countries (Democratic ones not Demon-ocratic) and that is the power and perks flow from the top in the case of company and in case of countries it moves bottom up. Any effort to treat them same and run one the way other is run is bound to meet with doom! Tried in my own limited way to draw out differences there in my blog - Trust it explains atleast a part of the paradox.

Scott, your example of the United States and China merging to form a Super Government is interesting, but completely unrealistic. Canada would never allow such a merger.
As revealed in these pages a month or so ago, for the first time anywhere, Canada is (quietly and respectfully) determined to acquire the United States of America as recreational property. Nothing will stop us. Resistance is futile.

While this kind of a merger would benefit those two countries in theory, we can barely maintain our own country. Honestly, the only benefit I see is that we would finally have an excuse for having too many people.
Also, @ Andrew84003:
Having one unified country is NOT a good idea, at least not until we eliminate our major problems. If nothing else, we need to abolish currency and return to barter. Now is the perfect time to make the switch, as the "Rich" seem to rule our lives with little pieces of paper and metal. It'd be a simple process: "You can keep your 'money,' we'll be over here trading technologies and services to benefit everyone."
The only real hard part is getting enough people to agree to it. Here's a good hint, though, avoid rich people and republicans. There are a few good eggs among them, but not enough to chance it.

i personally think that all the countries should merge and form just one country. this super country would be named after the super continent pangea. this would make world peace more possible and things would be a lot more like star trek and star wars where the entire planet is unified!

The real merger should be the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Then we would truly be the United States of (North) America.

Imagine a Global Citizenship
U are thinking on wrong lines here
rather try and take this in perspective .
Why not merge the core elements that form these countries. Merge people from both sides.
i walked along this thought process sometime back of having something on the lines of
a "Global Citizenship".
The single biggest advantage of global citizenship is the complete free movement of people.
the more u get everyone to mix together the lesser the lines of differences remain.
they will reverberate together and settle down on some form of mixed cultural society, but surely something that
has adapted to coexist.
Lets see what higher advantages this merger brings forth
for example we have a global citizenship between America and China.
Think economic policies
currently these are all fallacious, based on the assumption of being favourable only to America or to China ----- and their people(supposedly), by their respective governments.
with the global citizenship you no longer have your people on one side of the boundary.
This will force both governments to implement real economic policies. something that improves the economic structure, takes it forward and is not based on false pretext of protecting your people.
The same is true for law enforcement agencies,
for human rights ...others.
So in effect you live in New York today , but have to right to move to Bejing just as you have the right to for say Ohio. Ofcourse when you move in to a new state you abide by the rules of the sate, be it law , economis, whatever.
Plus we can throw in some rules to protect state resources from depleting or draining as a cause of people movement.
Unneeded to say this reduces the risk of pointing nukes at each other.
cause u no longer have the definition of "your" people anymore.
ofcourse it is not as easy as it sounds. you cannot except every country tomorrow to implement true global citizenship.
we can have a solution to this using a tier system. we go about doing this contenent wise.
So the Asian continent goes about getting a global citizenship for all of the Asian countries.
So does Europe , Africa and America. This has obvious advantages.
Once done and we have allowed the citizens and culture to settle and take shape(read a few years) we extend this cross continent

The major problem is: What will we call this new Super-Duper-Power? AmeriChina? ChinMerica? ASUCR-American States United with Chinese Republic? Nothing has a good ring to it, and if you can't make one of those cutesy couple names, the two aren't detined to stay together long. that's why "Brangelina" are still going strong long after Brad Pitt broke up with Jennifer Anniston - because Pittifer and Branniston just didn't sound right. (Sorry, Jennifer. But if you're reading this, please call me.)

I think we should merge with Mexico.
Oh, wait...They're already over here!

>>"You could start the discussion by imagining that the U.S. and China would maintain their own leaders and laws much the way a state has a governor and its own local ordinances. The new unified Super Government would only deal with the big issues of global security, trade, and accelerating the benefits of leveraging the resources of both countries."
This is a perfect description of how the founding fathers envisioned our federal government. Indeed, if you read the constitution, that's the type of super-government defined. Amazing how things change, 222 years later, as we're bailing out auto-makers.

i tend to agree with your hopeless view of racism. being above it is order, entropy tends towards fullblown genocide though.
WASP are egocentric enough to believe that if they can stop being racist, others can too. is that logical? i think that without education and selfrestraint, individuals (of all races) only believe in racial equality because it currently benefits them. in the dark recesses of their hearts, american minorities resonate with mooney the comedian, michelle obama, and rev wright.

Mergers between people happen every day too, except they are called marriages. People with a little in common and a lot of differences who feel that things will change once they are married and everything will be fine. The divorce rate has passed 50%, so why are people still getting married? The same reasons you would have a merger, tax breaks. Of course there is how good things looked up front, you know, the paperwork, you had heard good things, but have you put all of those people in the same office building/house to sort things out for themselves. Each person sees themselves as in charge of the relationship, or letting the other person feel like they are in charge, or, you bought our stocks, but we let you buy our stocks. You don't get along with her friends, she doesn't get along with yours, she doesn't like your human rights violations, and you don't like her inbred hillbillies carrying guns.
So, why do mergers/marriages work? That's a darn good question, and it can all be summed up with the 3 C's. Committment, Compromise, and Connections.

Merging territories has always been the american way, Hawaii and Alaska where the last to merge did they? I see China far away from merging, but if the Federal Goverment really open up a policy to invite more territories, the Carribian and the rest of America could find some interest. Of course Puerto Rico would be first (or last... they have a sweet deal right now), but Panama and El Salvador that already have the dollar as runnig currency could be interested, aswell as the rest of Central America and the Carribean with the remitances issues, specially if it woud take care of all the illegal alien status stuff that is going on right. The U.S. Federal infrastructure would also be of great help to bring order and credibility to these goverments and give them some rise economicaly, similar to what happend in Spain with the EU.

The only thing needed for governments to merge is a common enemy. Nothing unites disinterested parties better than a common foe. Besides; without a common enemy the merging of military forces would reduce the need for said forces (unless they're uniting to combat a larger "evil"). If the military forces aren't needed, then the governments aren't needed either.

nice ideas but your grammar is atrocious, today, what happened?
BTW, I think an India-China hegemony is more likely than a US-China. US best bet is to buddy up with Canada, Mexico and Brazil and start acting like a partner, instead of bullying patronizing big brother

I think China and India would be more amenable to such a union. Along with Brazil, they may hijack the IMF and render US, EU and Russia as second rate financial powers, and start dictating policy to the rest.

This is right up there with trying to split California into two or more states or Texas succeeding. Ain't gonna happen. But the merger of US and China could lead to a speedier execution of federally convicted murders. Chinese capital punishment style would provide a bullet to the brain of Timothy McVeigh types within hours of the one short court appeal.

At NutriMirror we like to think of weight loss as just one happy side effect of a healthy, enjoyable lifestyle. That's what we're really about: learning to find pleasure in a lifestyle of whole foods and exercise; and living the best, happiest lives we can. If weight loss happens naturally from that, so much the better.
But Weight Loss is a Focus for Many People
And they like to tell of their success with our system:
Sarah B. writes that there's no trick to her twenty-pound weight loss. She says that there's no "man behind the curtain." NutriMirror simply makes it easier for her to take in fewer calories than she burns, and to get complete nutrition while doing so. Seeing "green" on NutriMirror is the best part of her day.
Hpmistycat says she started looking for a way to keep the weight off, but ended up learning so much more. She's eating healthier and is filled with more energy and is focused on her healthy goals now — not just weight loss.
And Jason is down seventy pounds. He considers this a lifestyle change, not just a diet — and it's a lifestyle that has him feeling better than he has in years.
More Lifestyle Change Stories
More weight loss stories are coming in all the time to our site — but even if weight loss isn't a concern, we would love to hear how NutriMirror has helped you increase your health and fitness. Drop us a line and share your success with our members!

Blue Solar Water
hi everyone ..
has anyone ever heard of "Blue Solar Water" ??
I just learnt about it yesterday when i had an EFT session with an amazing practitioner
she taught me how to tap, and told me to drink "Blue Solar Water" as a Cleansing Technique .. she told me about how beneficial that water is and how strong its cleansing effect ..
I am so grateful that i have met her, i had a great time with her in the session and i learnt very important new things ... i am sharing with you what i learnt ..
lets share all we know about blue solar water here ...
anyone has any experiences with it ? please share
Love & Gratitude,
|Sponsored Links
What is Blue Solar Water
Blue Solar Water is Suggested in the best-selling book "Zero Limits" by "Joe Vitale" and "Ihaleakala Hew Len" (Hawaiian Ho'oponopono master).
"According to Dr. Len:"
Drinking Blue Solar Water transmutes memories replaying problems in the subconscious mind
helps the body to "let go & let God".
Last edited by lama : 03-18-2008 at 07:57 AM.
Blue solar water, as I understand it, is one of the cleansing tools recommended by Dr Hew Len of HO'Oponopono (Foundation Of I).
You can make your own blue solar water by filling a blue glass bottle with tap water & covering with a non metallic cap.
Leave it out in the sunshine for one hour or under an incandescent lamp for the same period of time.
Then you can keep it in the refridgerator to drink. You can also use it to shower or bathe with.
You can find several places selling blue bottles for this purpose on the web.
I'm sure Keoi will respond to your post when she reads this as I know that she uses blue solar water & knows a friend that has the bottles, so I am sure she can fill you in with more detail.
Love, Light & Blessings

How to "Make" Blue Solar Water
To Make Blue solar Water:
1. Get a Blue Glass bottle,
2. Fill it up with water,
3. if the bottle has a metal cap, don't use the cap, cork the top of the bottle or wrap with cellophane or a cloth instead.
4. Place the bottle in the sun or under an incandescent lamp for one hour or more. Be sure the cover is non-metallic (these bottles have non-metallic lids so theyre easy to use). Do not put under a fluorescent lamp.
5. Enjoy using the water
Thank You Sharyn
I am so happy for this little discovery, I had never heard of it before .. its funny how tiny things can make us happy ..
The EFT practitioner told me i have to drink only that, .. i got worried at first at the thought of it, i was thinking, how am i gonna just drink 'that' ??!!
then she laughed and told me that just adding a drop of my solarized water into any water i drink will solarize it ... so, i should add a drop in my drinking water, a drop in my tea or coffee .. even a drop to the washing machine or my showering water ..
Love & Gratitude,
Aloha Lama,
I have been using Blue Solar water for quite a long time. I add the water to just about everything and give it to my animals as well. I even gave it to my beautiful siberian huskey who had Liver cancer, she lived way beyond what the vet thought she would, and she was in no pain and did not lose weight as expected. We attributed this to the blue solar water she drank. I highly recommend it.
Above is the link to the Foundation of I, which `Ihaleakala Hew Len Ph.D., is the Chairman Emeritus. You can read more at their site about the blue solar water as they are the original creators of this idea. Also, I do have a friend that has very beautiful engraved blue bottle that he makes with ho oponopono messages on them. If you are interested in them pm and I can give you his contact infor.
Other possible source for blue bottles
I just found a Skyy Vodka Bottle - the large size - and a German wine bottle at the recycling center! They were sitting on a shelf above the glass receptacles. So you might take a look around next time you're at your recycling center if you're having trouble finding blue bottles.
I've been looking for inexpensive blue bottles for months and was thrilled to find them for free! I think the Universe is giving me a big on the blue solar water.
Hi Coz Sally
I just ran across this website explaining the significance of the color blue in the solar water -
Why Blue Solar Water
I tried to copy and paste but wasn't allowed to.
Hope this helps!
hello, it is me again.
blue is an excellent color for doing this, but please take note that it only covers a part of the spectrum. other colors affect other chakra areas, and problems associated with them. blue seems to be a great pick-me-up and covers many of the most popular problems (stress, sleep, etc). BUT for those of you who are in relatively good health, try using a clear glass instead. this way you maximize the full spectrum of the solar rays.
DO NOT USE LEADED CRYSTAL, as this will impart the cymatic (frequency) of lead into your product. that is the reason why the do not recommend flourescent lights for this as well... because there is mercury in the lighting, and this will be translated into your product. a good light to use would be halogen, sodium lamps, LED's, or the new Xenon lights you can get at menards or home depot.
what is nice about LED's is that if you dont have a particular glass of the color you need, it doesnt matter because there are LED's in almost every color. if you need red, you use red LED's, or blue, or white, etc. and it will do the same thing as having the colored glass. (white reflects/emmits all colors back, black absorbs all colors)
what is even more cool is using a strobe light (Xenon bulb) with a rotating color wheel...
now, if this can be done to water, imagine doing a full bathtub soak with this strobe set-up haging over you. (Sea Salt in the bath water) if you are not ready for this, you probably will detox pretty hard.

hello Jetijs, been a few months.
i forgot to add to the above that a little De souza or celtic sea salt in the water will increase the effects 1,000%.
im going to try and get active here again, the pet store is officially gone now.
Making it too complicated
Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len said that God told him to drink blue solar water. I think he would say stop worring about how it works and just drink it!
If you can't find blue bottles locally, this is my web site where I sell them: Blue Glass Bottles - which I started after I read Zero Limits and had a hard time finding blue bottles.
As far as fluorescent lights - don't put the bottles under fluorescent, this includes the new curled up ones that replace regular light bulbs. Direct Sunlight is best followed by a regular, incandesent bulb. Don't try to over think it, just do it!
Also as Fred posted - fluorescent lights produce so called "dirty electricity". Spectrum of high frequencies which are affecting our neurological system and capable of increasing blood pressure and sugar level - especially important for people with diabetes. This artificial frequency adds nothing good that water and we may benefit from. Rather opposite.

thats not really science though is it....
so if I put a blue bottle of water out in the sun and a clear bottle out in the sun....let them "solarize" equally.
now take that water to the lab and show us the dif in the two samples....
what would happen if you used a red bottle?
could you use a clear bottle and some blue gel paper and get the same results?
They don't practice Voodoo at Fort Bragg and their report was based on their research/testing.
There are phenomena which can be observed but the instruments which would allow to measure it are not developed yet, eg. radiant energy. During past few years I witnessed numerous people questioning existence of such because their multimeters weren't showing it. Some will still dispute its presence.
I would suggest reading of Schauberger, particularly "The Nature Was MY Teacher" and "Living Energies" to begin with.
There are instruments which would measure amount of charge but to see the effect of this process the simplest and cheapest way would be to observe the effects on life forms, such as plants. I don't know atm any particular lab (non military) which would have a means to run such test. This can be done "scientific" way including batches of same plants, soil, conditions etc. treated with "normal" and energized/polarized water.
I did conduct test on plants with water being energized and in radiant environment. Results were convincing enough for me. I have a background in science, including Biology, Bio-electronics, Electronics and Physics. I was working in gov. lab in mid 80'. Despite that I was able to maintain open mind and independent thinking which allows me to "see" even if I cannot touch, smell or taste it. Instruments we have at our disposal were designed to measure waste product or conventional processes only.
If you're interested in red light please search the thread -Red Light Therapy.
I never tried gel paper instead and can't answer this question.
Blue LED panel may create a similar effect but it would have to be made and powered - perhaps by solar panel to reduce cost of operation.
So far sunlight is not taxed.
I suggest that perhaps the blue light significantly raises the level of placebo in the water.
I also might point out that basically all transparent blue materials have been man made and do not naturally occour. So, blue solar water is unnatural

Quote: Pigments
"Traditionally, blue has been considered a primary colour in painting, with the secondary colour orange as its complement.
Blue pigments include azurite (Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2), ultramarine (Na8-10Al6Si6O24S2-4), cerulean blue (primarily cobalt (II) stanate: Co2SnO4), cobalt blue (cobalt(II) aluminate: CoAl2O4), and Prussian blue (milori blue: primarily Fe7(CN)18)."
When an animal's coat is described as "blue", it usually refers to a shade of grey that takes on a bluish tint, a diluted variant of a pure black coat. This designation is used for a variety of animals, including dog coats, some rat coats, cat coats, some chicken breeds, some horse coat colours and rabbit coat colours. Some animals, such as giraffes and lizards, also have blue tongues.
Above examples are of course man made and artificial. Just like conventional science
In Hinduism, Blue is used to symbolically represent the fifth, throat chakra (Vishuddha)

Blue Solar Water
I don't have a reply but I do have a question. I have seen sites with the benefits of blue bottles and making solar water, but there is a spectrum of colors and I would like to know their benefits as well such as green bottles and amber bottles. Does anyone know the site as I cannot seem to find it?
I have this bookmarked years ago, hope it is useful to you.
