the spirits and molecules of autism

6.22:
. this file started out as a political issue
-- 5.20/pol/energy/Autism related to Coal's mercury --
but mercury policy has improved
while autism rates have increased,
so, it's been reassigned as a health issue .
7.10:
. however, it may also be a socioeconomic issue
as worsening underemployment
increases reliance on children's disability payments .
. nevertheless,
even if parents were encouraging the diagnosis
for collecting child disability payments,
there is still evidence of increased autism risk
from environmental pollutants
(pcb's, pesticides, estrogenics, mercury)
and a degraded food supply quality
(increased use of gmo's, pesticides,
and herbicides -- thanks to gmo's;
non-organic farming creates a lack of
selenium in food
which is needed to counteract mercury).
7.9:
. another theory explaining increased autism
is what I call two-headed dominance syndrome
where one of the heads tends to submit
in order to let the other head take control .
. likewise, in sociology,
when a population starts to feel
a loss of economic opportunities
there may tend to be more silent tension,
and an increase in dependent personalities .

. at the same time, unique to our times
is a tendency to demand much more of students;
whereas, in the past,
the developmentally challenged may have been
understood to be simply a rowdy or lonely laborer .

repairing a recumbent exercycle

6.30: mis.gear/exercycle/chair`stem`weld failed:
. the Marcy exercycle's seat weld failed!
and, inspecting the weld area,
the reason is obvious:
they had the weld strengths reversed:
they needed only light tacks
in the back,
but a good strong seam in the front
because that is getting
a lot of lift pressure;
instead there were only
2 tack welds in the front,
so when the front tacks snapped apart,
then the seat pitched backwards about half a foot .

recovery from chair`stem`weld failure:

combo solid tire and tube

2013.2.21: summary:
. this chronicles my combining of a
typical pneumatic inner tube
with a Bell No-Mor Flats (solid) Bike Inner Tube .
. I now have this on both a bmx bike front wheel,
and on all wheels of a recumbent trike . 

BHT anti-viral may be anti-cancer?

6.24: news.health/bht:
7.8: summary:
. at lef.org's forum, a note about hepatitis C
mentioned a yahoo health group, BHTcures .
. files they have there include
Fowkes`The BHT Book,
also at projectwellbeing.com .
. if you ever used that for insomnia,
you might be interested in knowing
-- for minimizing liver toxicity --
that it can be absorbed through the skin:
simply mix BHT with mct oil and blend .

. eg, use 5.5 tsp of BHT (16.5 grams)
for a quart (32 fluid ounces) of MCT oil.
Each tablespoon of oil now contains
slightly more than 250 mg of BHT.
There are about 64 tablespoons to a quart.
. I tried adjusting that recipe for higher potency:
. 250mg bht per tsp/2 oil
is done by blending 32oz oil with
2* cup/4 + 3 tbspoon bht .

[6.28: proj:
5.5 tsp means 250mg per 3tsp,
so 6*5.5 = 33 tsp crystals means 250mg per tsp/2 oil .
. 3tsp per tablespoon, cup = 16*3 tsp, cup/4 = 4*3 tsp .
. 33tsp = 2* cup/4 + 3 tbsp .]

. another highlight of the book was purification:

interpreting JC's beatitudes

5.20: web.relig/jc/the beatitudes:

Jesus began to preach a message of repentance
because the kingdom of heaven was near (4:12-17).
In order to reach a wider audience,
He moved from Nazareth to the city of Capernaum,
on the shores of the Sea of Galilee,
but more importantly,
on the main highway through the land.
His declaration of beatitudes would come,
but not until He called for repentance.

critiques of Judaism and Christianity

5.6: relig/bible/unifying
the jewish and christian messages:
. judaism pointed out we get punished for
not following god's law;
christianity points out:
we will never be able to follow the law,
so there can be no salvation in actions;
and that's why god's love said
we'd be saved simply by believing that
the work of Jesus Christ could save us .
. actually, god's love comes in 2 forms:
there are the warnings about how to avoid harm,
and then there is the spirit-guided urge to
ignore the warnings;
this indirectly leads to love; because,

duelling romney - obama funnies

5.3: sci.pol/obama/
romney can win because he's sarcasm:
. romney can win because he's sarcasm:
"( proud capitalism is canibalizing your job ),
and people will then feel silly being jealous of 1% image .

5.4: pos.pol/obama/
romney has a chance with delegates voting:
. now I'm sure romney is electable because
the group he's making his case to is not us
but the delegates .

5.7: co.apt/obama/controling us with czars!:
. obama is controling us with czars!
that's what dem's always do, they invented the first czar,
for the drug war;
but also the alcohol prohibition, ... who did that?
the women, when they got to vote,
** it got right there in the constitution **
-- talk about a super czar .

5.8:  co.apt/pol/obama/from the socialists, with love:
. recall someone recently saying
that usa youth on the euro tourist circuit
were feeling a lot more loved at europe's hostels
after it was seen that usa had voted for Obama .
. but love can be tough:
the amsterdam coffee shops
no longer cater to foreign tourists,
they're only to keep local youth off the street .
6.23: web:
(23% of tourists visited those coffeeshops).

5.9: web.pol/obama/obama's real father:

. real father rumors are hitting the fan;
is this why he's out for gay marriage now?
. the story I got from the radio was that
obama's real father, Frank,
and a friend, the kenyan, agreed to agree
for some reason,
that the kenyan would say he was the father,
perhaps so he could have access to
usa as married to citizen ?
he never said, or I was radio surfing elsewhere .
...
frank was married with many children
and was struggling to maintain that marriage,
so perhaps this move was part of that struggle .

Birtherism 2.0: Obama’s ‘Real’ Father
April 30, 2012 at 11:04 am Ed Brayton

. taking birtherism to a new level,
in “Dreams from My Real Father:
A Story of Reds and Deception ”
(see trailer, and intro)
Joel Gilbert is arguing that
not only wasn’t Obama born in the USA
but that Barack Obama Sr.
isn’t even his real father.
And who is his real father? A communist!
Gilbert rejects the official story
that the Kenyan-born Barack Obama
was the president’s father.
Instead, he argues, Frank Marshall Davis,
the radical poet and journalist
who was a card-carrying member
of the Communist Party USA,
was the real, biological -- and ideological --
father of Barack Obama.

the real father is Frank Marshall Davis?

Jerome Corsi's The Obama Nation
claims that Davis was a political influence on Obama .
A rebuttal released by Obama's presidential campaign,
titled Unfit for Publication,
confirmed that "Frank" was Frank Marshall Davis,
but disputes claims about the nature of their relationship.

5.11: co.apt/pol/obama/romney is funny:
. funny story to find romney forcing a haircut;
you'd think they'd use an eagle scout ...
as if my audience:

. phil, that is an eagle scout:
you find a long-hair, you cut his hair off!

as self:

. just saying, you'd think they'd find a match who
wouldn't squawk underneath the presidential lights !

5.22: co.apt/pol/obama/
it worked for colin powell:
. Colin Powell's new book is
"(it worked for me);
suppose that was about
him looking like Obama?
. Powell was the one
who was asked to say:
"( there's weapons of mass destruction
-- just kidding! ).
. Obama was told to say these kiddings:
"( g'tmo is closing down,
israel will be told no more wars for
defending arrogant settlers ).

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.)

5.30: co.apt/pol/Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.):
diane rheme's show, Rep. John Lewis:
. his every response was a flowery
"(that's none of your business) .

. when he showed concern for a lack of voting,
diane asked what he would do about
making it easier to get 3rd parties voted in;
and he scoffed at that as
not even representing us well!
. if we had instant-runoff voting,
then we could show our support for other parties,
without having to worry about the spoiler affect .

. and after saying that,
he called us a democracy?!
. other leaders are quick to remind us
it certainly is not a democracy!
it's a constitutional republic .
. I've never seen a referendum at the federal level;
and if there was one,
much of drug law would be in the toilet .

. he also did nothing to defend himself against
a caller who was wondering how he could
be for love and obama,
when obama lied about the repub's,
saying they wanted to poison our environs,
and throw grandma over a cliff .

here's how I would have defended obama:
. do the repub's not support small gov'?
does that not skimp on regulations
and also skimp on using tax money to
transition us to less toxic forms of energy
-- away from coal and oil ?

. but I didn't know about that grandma comment;
what was it refering to?
. apparently a progressive group was asking
if america was beautiful without medicare .
. the fox news commentary of that
was pointing out that repub's simply
agreed with obamacare's death panels:
they wanted to cap the growth in medicare spending
not put an end to medicare .

. but wasn't there some republican talk about
privatizing our entire medical insurance?
. anyway, it's not clear to me that Obama
personally would say such a thing .

conclusion:
. I think his problem is being brain damaged
(he was hit hard during a civil rights march);
the best he can do is
gracefully evade complicated questions ...

[6.23: are you kidding?!:
. Rep. Lewis was simply using the same tactics
that Obama would use against massive contention .
. Obama certainly isn't brain damaged,
but a highlight of his speaking tour for ObamaCare
was spending hours saying nothing !
. they think they are being honest, like this:
"( I understand that you see
nothing in this bill for you;
but, if you are well-read on the subject
you know that it does improve things
for the majority ).
. another reason to say nothing
is when you're convinced the questions being asked
are merely rhetorical,
and anything you say will merely be used against you .
. I've noticed Obama getting a lot of heat just for being
the first hiafric to tower over euro's .
. maybe a hiafric congressman has had to deal with
the same treatment, incessantly .]
