the higher power
12.20: relig/god/the higher power:
. recalling my blog of speeder cameras;
. along with my usual view that
human policing can apply the law unequally;
there's also a god-related issue
(significant since such issues are
splitting the country in half
so you'd expect little reminders of such):
. the god fearing young driver would be saved by
thinking a god is catching every cheating moment;
while the godless would be saved only by
the sure justice of knowing there are robocops
everywhere all the time;
therefore,
robocops could be a symbol of the godless,
and a hate of robocops could be a swipe at
free-thinking anti-dogmatic humanists,
or Democrats .
. can you actually teach kids to fear god?
in the political debate
it's always presented as an option!
(school prayer leads to kids praying;
and packing kids in school leads to
gang violence ... or lots of prayer!)
. I myself thought kids could be saved
either by
stressing the bible as proof of the supernatural
or by diligently watching kids until
their youthful minds became future aware;
but to nix both the supernatural training
and the constant guidance
is tantamount to saying
a kid should remain seeable because nobody sees
-- that is a likely future killer .
. then again,
if you think kids are better off god-aware
imagine how many adults are not god-aware
and yet still caught cheating?
I suppose they figure god is only the devil;
"( so what if God sees all? he loves everything! ).
. the real significance of god
is knowing who has your ears:
is it your selfish impulses?
or a higher power?
but when you call "(god) your higher power
(rather than, say, the Chinese Premiere)
what is your higher power saying?
my clerics say, my books say,
my big fat trust me really told you;
so, it's just my line in the sand,
having fun -- like I always do!
. the Buddha had it right:
the real plain truth is understood by
self agreeing with elders:
without elder checks there is foolishness,
without self checks there is corruption .

should be providing their own housing
just so we could avoid the frig'ing bus!
. I was later reminded by industrial accidents,

a bus I could love:
. each employer does provide housing for each shift,
and also provides a private bus that links
an employer's home site with their work site;
with such direct routes,
the bus involves no waiting in unsecured places .
. busing works for shopping too,
when part of the gated community model:
your secure id card is the way to get on,
they charge you by debit;
so, there's no more being sardined with
unidentified terrorists or nutty criminals .
. there are direct bus lines between every mall,
and every gated community .
. people with behaviors lose their license to bus,
and must either use pedal cars,
or let relatives do the shopping .
. with the efficiency and safety of
the gated community model,
the usa's citizens could be on the path to
being competitive with chinese communism
while still retaining their std of living;
assuming that std doesn't continue to involve
gross denial of unhealthy lifestyles .
. buses that run clean green fuels,

carcinogens in oil-based fuels;

peace prize to the voice with no body
12.12: pol/peace prize to the voice with no body:

that the world's christian's should unite

and reserve an israel-sized chunk of the new world
for a peaceful place where
jews alone are welcome to govern jews, forever .

. the nobel peace prize winner,
chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, is a good american;
but in china where the system is not multi-party
he can only foment needless civil war;
and, one good reason for dictatorship
is long avoiding the centuries of civil war
that china has been subject to .
. the chinese leadership shows
true love for its people;
they are like the 2nd coming of christ
doing more for the war on poverty
than any other power on earth .
. they could have just exploited the energy
of an expanding population
to stay in power effortlessly,
but they so loved their people
that they risked their own position of power
by using it to force population controls
against a culture that is notoriously poor:
humans can have 14 girls in a row,
and the chinese traditionally keep having children
until they get at least one boy .
. this measure won't make leadership wealthier,
but in time it will bring wealth to all their subjects .

valley fever surrounded by disbelief fever
11.1: web.health/valley fever/unbelievable illness fells baseball pro's:
. johnny bench got valley fever:
. imagine that, an athlete with valley fever;

. johnny bench got valley fever:
. Johnny Bench played at a golf tournament fundraiser--
hosted by Buck Owens in Bakersfield
on a windy day in the early 1970s.
He contracted Coccidiodomycosis
and started exhibiting respiratory distress
a few weeks later with the Cincinnati Reds.
The doctors out there
weren't familiar with Valley Fever,
and before the possibility of cocci
(and a simple treatment with antifungals) was suggested,
he had already undergone a lung biopsy to remove the lesion,
which was suspected at the time to be cancer.
. imagine that, an athlete with valley fever;
when I had that I could hardly walk,
every joint I used or walked on
quickly became inflamed .
. this site is for a woman who got the fungus in her brain .
. disseminated coccidioidomycosis (valley fever). it's also in az, and nevada
with meningitis, the form of cocci
most likely to end in death.
. It's contracted from inhaling a fungal spore
that lies in the soil found in California's central valley,
where I had been visiting my parents.
-- 98.9 fm radio 11.10
. Here and Now host Steve Goldsteincomments to valley fever blog:
talks to Dr. Hans Einstein, a Valley Fever researcher,
and Dr. David Nix of the College of Parmacy at U of A
about Valley Fever in Arizona.
The doctors answer listener calls
and explain what is being done to alleviate
the suffering of valley residents.
. I am sooooo tired all the time,Conor Jackson of the Diamondbacks
pain in my joints, and so on.
. I am wondering about your valley fever;
I have been sick with VF for almost 6 years now.
It is so hard to find other people
who have had this experience
or a doctor that understands your problems.
I just read that he missed the last 5 monthsD-backs trade Jackson for A's Demel June 15, 2010
of last season due to his contracting
"valley fever"
... an illness caused by breathing fungi
in desert soils in the Southwest.
I have never heard of "valley fever" before.
Valley fever. Hmmph.
Jackson, 28, was a solid piece of Arizona's
lineup from 2006-2008,
when he batted .292 and averaged 14 homers and 71 RBI.
He missed most of the 2009 season
with what was eventually diagnosed as Valley Fever,
a fungal infection that saps the body's energy.

before qubes there was mac vmware virtualizing windows
[at the ubuntu forum]/Setting up virtual machines
. I am so thankful this article was pointed out us;
for 2 years I've been using
mac.vmware`fusion to run ubuntu
-- worried about rootkits --
but since recently hearing about
Joanna Rutkowska's expertise in rootkits
I wondered how her setup differed from mine .
. I was suprised she did her online shopping
on a separate machine from her banking;
but she's right, once at macmall (a secure site)
I got my credit card "validated" by a scam;
who knows what else I got?
(I think macmall uses 3rd-party advertizing).
. as for linux having no 3rd-party drivers:
in security terms,
all open source is 3rd-party!
it's a lot of cooks in the kitchen;
complexity increases risk .
. did you know that most of
russia, china, the world,
are using bootleg microsoft?
when the world moves to linux,
the botnets will come for linux next !
. but by the time they do,
we will be saved by ...
# intel's VT-d, TXT, TPM,
# linux (or anything) on the
okL4 verified microvisor
# and using Joanna's system of
5 vm's for each security domain,
-- or Joanna's Qubes
5 vm's for each security level:
# red: browsing random sites, no privacy;
-- expected to get infected;
. I revert it to a known snapshot every week or so.
# yellow: semi-sensitive tasks,
. uses firefox.NoScript to only allow
scripting to a trusted few sites:
online shopping, blogging, etc.
Sure, somebody might do a
man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack against
a plaintext HTTP connection
that is whitelisted by NoScript
and inject some malicious drive-by exploit,
but then again,
Yellow machine is only semi-sensitive
and there would not be a big tragedy
if somebody stole the information from it.

maybe that's for green vm?]
# green: https-only, bank's account

only HTTPS is used for this machine

for example, on any hotel Wi-Fi.

# where to keep one's email client:

chia is healthy snack food
10.26: news.health/chia/fiber-carb ratio:
. did you see chia's fiber/carb ratio?
one way to highlight that is
give it in terms of % daily value:
20%/2%
.20/.02 = 10 .
10.27:
... what is the soluble-insoluble ratio ?
10.27: health/chia's soluble fiber:
. chia is a great snack food
because it's tastes like a grain
that can be eaten raw,
yet has a soluble fiber content similar to beans .
0.7 grams of soluble fiber per 15 g chia:
0.7 soluble fiber =
4.1 gm total Fiber - 3.4 g Insoluble Fiber
. compared to bean fibers (per cup/2 dried):
red: 2.0 sol, -- 7.9 total, 5.9 insol .
navy: 2.2 sol, -- 6.5 total, 4.3 insol .
black: 2.4 sol, -- 6.1 total, 3.7 insol .
rich in mucilloid soluble fiber:
If you leave Chia in water for 30 minutes
the glass will appear to contain
an almost solid gelatin,
absorbing more than 12 times its weigh in water .
"( Excessive consumption of flax [or chia] seeds
with inadequate water
can cause bowel obstruction. )
. chia's fat has more omega-3 than omega-6
unlike most grains, nuts, and seeds;
Grains are seeds of plants belonging to the grass family.
(members of the monocot families Poaceae or Gramineae)
chia is a pseudocereal .
per 100g chia the fat composition is (grams):

Linoleic acid (LA) 18:2(n-6) -- omega-6 fatty acid.
. keep in mind that omega-3's are
poly's (polyunsaturates) -- they are
easily increasing your free radical load
and causing oxidative stresses (rapid aging)
while not being easily converted by your body
into the healthy fish oils .
. while poly's do have anti-cancer effects,
a more heart-friendly anti-cancer strategy
is high-dosing the non-toxic form of selenium
and avoiding the moldy grains
that are folded into fast foods .
. worse news for poly's, [2014.6.30: later retracted]
