Here and Now...What's Happening?

[ulli]

I was just going to ask if you were ok. Saw in the news that the university campus was badly damaged.
Thanks for picking up my concerned thoughts.

Now what can we do about Ernie?

Kryon is on the very short list of channels that comes across with actually useful information. It's also on the very short list of channelled material that passes my own particular acid test, it dovetails with the knowledge that I've brought me own self. It's the only current channel that I can say that about. Most material I will stop reading two or three sentences in, can barely make myself go further. It doesn't take a lot for the red flags to start going up, I don't get that so much with Kryon. Kryon, Seth, Ra, and Cayce are pretty much all the ones I have any use for.

My place of business was in the path of the tornado that blew through Hattiesburg this evening. If I hadn't gone out of my way to get cat food before heading back from Jackson, I'd likely have crossed paths with that bad boy. We were stuck for two hours while the highway was cleared for traffic tonight, having arrived about 45 min after the storm. It did serious damage to the main thorough fare through town. Many homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed. I did have opportunity to tell a friend, it's better to have a roof in your tree than a tree in your roof.

Looks nasty.

I passed within twenty yards of that university building that had the white columns, the current/former Alumni Association building.

did anyone notice this storm is curled around like a hurricane, right in the center of the country?

No, that is interesting, a skype friend asked me earlier tonight do you ever remember them naming a snow storm before, I don't, does anyone else?

They started doing it this year (for whatever reason).

Don't remember anything prior.

when you name something, a hurricane, a twister, a storm, you make it personnal. The storm becomes a person, a living thing, and as it is somewhat difficult or dangerous, it becomes a personal danger, much more fear creating.

If I tell you there is a storm coming with 30 inches of snow, this is a huge storm, you may decide to stay home. If I tell you that Irene is coming with 30 inches of snow, it makes it more personal and your worries are more focused as well as your fear. And also you feel like you have less control, it is Irene creating the trouble, you are powerless. Versus just another storm on which you have some control.

This is my take on this storms naming. As well as hurricanes naming.

rocket stove mass heater

http://www.richsoil.com/rocket-stove-mass-heater.jsp

rocket mass heaters in a nutshell:

heat your home with 80% to 90% less wood
exhaust is nearly pure steam and CO2 (a little smoke at the beginning)
the heat from one fire can last for days
you can build one in a day and half
folks have built them spending less than $20



the verbose details on rocket mass heaters:

This could be the cleanest and most sustainable way to heat a conventional home. Some people have reported that they heat their home with nothing more than the dead branches that fall off the trees in their yard. And they burn so clean, that a lot of sneaky people are using them illegally, in cities, without detection.

When somebody first told me about rocket mass heaters, none of it made sense. The fire burns sideways? No smoke? If a conventional wood stove is 75% efficient, doesn't that mean the most wood you could possibly save is something like 25%? How do you have a big hole right over the fire and not have the house fill with smoke? I was skeptical.

And then I saw one in action. The fire really does burn sideways. The exhaust is near room temperature - and very clean. The smoke doesn't come back up because a huge amount of air is getting sucked into the wood hole. Neat! I sat on one that had not had a fire in it for 24 hours - it was still hot!

I just saw the movie where they use Captain Nemo's ship to escape from Atlantis...

why Nemo?

Why The Weather Channel is Naming Winter Storms

Tom Niziol Published: Nov 11, 2012, 10:30 AM EST weather.com

The Weather Channel will name noteworthy winter storms. Our goal is to better communicate the threat and the timing of the significant impacts that accompany these events. The fact is, a storm with a name is easier to follow, which will mean fewer surprises and more preparation.

Naming Winter Storms
Hurricanes and tropical storms have been given names since the 1940s. In the late 1800s, tropical systems near Australia were named as well. Weather systems, including winter storms, have been named in Europe since the 1950s. Important dividends have resulted from attaching names to these storms:

•Naming a storm raises awareness.
•Attaching a name makes it much easier to follow a weather system’s progress.
•A storm with a name takes on a personality all its own, which adds to awareness.
•In today’s social media world, a name makes it much easier to reference in communication.
•A named storm is easier to remember and refer to in the future.

grip.. your last post is blank at my end,
using invisible ink??

Carmody, rocket stove are the coolest darn thing i have
seen in heating.. ever. Have my mind made up to build one
maybe not this year though.. next house.

One of the big, Permie farms in Aus uses one to supply
hot water, and it works like a charm.
Showers 30 people, no problems.
Genius
