Aquaponics: An Inexpensive Source of Fresh Food

http://www.backyardliberty.com/vsl/

This is a sales presentation, but the concept is interesting. It merges hydroponic vegetable gardening with fish farming.  The fish waste feeds the vegetables, which cleans the water for the fish.  Commercial aquaponics are expensive, which is why I never considered it, but this is a DIY system.

It solves a number of problems, like not needing to bend like you'd have to if you did traditional gardening.  It takes 10% of the water used in traditional gardening.  It's a source of fresh vegetables and protein.  The materials (book/video) cost $37 and the parts to put the system together is about $190.  It's a year-round system of fresh food for a very small maintenance cost.  View the presentation and see what you think. 

After I closed the presentation video, I saw that it is given in text and the price goes down to $22 on a "buy now" deal.  It appears to be electronic only.

And then it tries to sell you four books.  I passed.

THEN it mentions the water pump you need for the fish tank and offers a DIY solar panel information.  I searched Green Energy Junkie and found a review:  http://www.cheapsolarpanels.us/green-energy-junkie-review.html.  It says it's #10 out of 10, meaning the reviewer thinks there are better ones out there.  Depends on price/what you get, etc.

Home  »  Feature  »  Rand Paul Demands Chief Justice Roberts Be A Subject To ObamaCare Just Like The Little People He Forced It On

Excerpted from The Daily Caller: Arguing federal workers should not get special treatment, Rand Paul says he does not want taxpayers subsidizing the personal health-care plans of any federal employee — including Chief Justice John Roberts — anymore.

With some in Congress arguing lawmakers and their staff should not get subsidies to cover their health insurance as President Obama’s health-care law goes into effect, the Republican senator from Kentucky told The Daily Caller on Sunday that he’s going to start pushing a constitutional amendment that goes even further.

Paul’s proposal — outlawing any special exemptions for government employees — would mean all federal workers would have to purchase health insurance on the new Obamacare exchanges instead of getting taxpayer-funded subsidies. Some critics say those subsidies amount to special treatment. The Obamacare health insurance exchange opens Oct 1.

“My amendment says basically that everybody including Justice Roberts — who seems to be such a fan of Obamacare — gets it too,” Paul told TheDC by phone on Sunday from Mackinac Island in Michigan, where he won a straw poll of potential Republican candidates for president in 2016.

“See, right now, Justice Roberts is still continuing to have federal employee health insurance subsidized by the taxpayer,” Paul said. “And if he likes Obamacare so much, I’m going to give him an amendment that gives Obamacare to Justice Roberts.” Keep reading

Sept.23, 2013

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn’t much bigger than most people’s living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God’s word.

From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the  nation’s largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.

We’re Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I’ve always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God’s laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that’s what we’ve tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week’s biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest.

We believe that it is by God’s grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We’ve not only added jobs in a weak economy, we’ve raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at  80% above minimum wage.

But now, our government threatens to change all of that.

A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. Being Christians, we don’t pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don’t cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs.

http://voicesunborn.blogspot.com/2013/09/hobby-lobby-may-close-all-500-stores-in.html

It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one.

If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.

Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy.

Our government threatens to fine a company that’s raised wages four years running.

Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs.  It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the  rules; that it’s the same for everybody. But that’s not true.

   The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost.  But it won’t exempt them for reasons of religious belief.

So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don’t like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.

My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is  going to make that much more difficult.

The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law.  I say that’s a choice no American and no American business should have to make.

The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.

Since you will not see this in the liberal media, please pass this on to all your contacts.

 

Sincerely,

David Green

CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

Is Planet X a Threat to Earth?

Link from Sheldon Day to this Bart Sibrel article...

http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/planet-x-threat-earth/#

EXCERPTS:

"I was first told about Planet X by a high ranking source at NASA in or about 1989.  They said that the planet was going to make a dangerously close approach to earth in the second half of the second decade of the 21st century."

"The planet is pitch black and near the temperature of absolute zero, requiring very specialized infrared satellites to be observed, which only the US government owns, having launched them specifically for this confidential purpose.  This being the case, traditional astronomers will not be able to observe the planet until it is right upon us, ..."

"Both the scientists I have interviewed and the scriptural scholars are predicting the exact same upcoming events caused by this large approaching heavenly object: Increasing unpredictable comets and asteroids thrown out of their normal orbits by Planet X’s gravitational field; Increasing Earthquakes (as Planet X approaches, it pulls at the earth’s crust with ever greater intensity); Upcoming disastrous meteor showers (as the earth passes, twice, through Planet X’s “debris field” of millions of accompanying asteroids; Hailstones of up to 100 pounds falling from the sky (as the earth tilts temporarily by Planet X’s gravity, causing arctic air to suddenly appear atop warmer climates, resulting in the moist air instantaneously freezing and falling as massive sheets of ice); Worldwide tidal waves and coastal flooding caused by Planet X’s approach and accompanying major earthquakes; Increased solar flares as the sun’s energy is magnetically drawn toward Planet X; Food shortages caused by the lack of conventional distribution from the subsequent destruction of most bridges, railroads and power grids; Disease epidemics caused by the food shortages and lack of access to medical care due to transportation failures; Economic collapse and martial law resulting from all of the aforementioned escalading events."

"Ever wonder why the magnetic north pole is moving direction so fast?  It normally moves a few feet every year because of the rotating molten core of the earth.  Presently it is moving at an unbelievable 579 feet . . . per day!  A possible sign it is being pulled toward this large approaching planet."

"Ever wonder why recently so many comets and asteroids are being discovered with so little advance warning, when previously they were detected decades before their arrival?  Could it be because Planet X is pulling them off of their normal predicted course as it comes closer to the Earth."

More Details On The Navy Ship Yard Shooting

Yep, send $200 Million to the MB, but don't give the military what it needs...

Interesting details of the Navy Yard shooting.

Received this email:
The following is from a 9-18-13 Facebook page of attorney Stephen G. DeNigris of Washington, D.C. Also see:
http://www.cbs6albany.com/news/features/featured/stories/local-attorney-dc-officers-union-says-navy-yard-understaffed-1948.shtml
I'm continuing to write about the Washington Navy Yard here because I have represented those wonderful police officers for fifteen years and the fact that this page has developed a fairly large following.
The call for the active shooter went out around 8:25 a.m. on Monday morning. As I noted in my earlier postings, only six police officers were on duty at the time with five of those officers in fixed posts. Chief of Police Mike McKinney was on road patrol and was the first to respond to the scene. He met the security officer (who was later killed) at the front door who told the chief that the shooter was on the 4th floor and warned him of the overlook into the atrium.
Chief McKinney put out the call for mutual assistance and at that time Captain Bobby Eason arrived. Both immediately went to the 4th Floor - it was chaotic as people fled for their lives - they got to the 4th floor and the shooter (we will not mention his name) had moved into a stairwell - there are 6 stairwells in that bldg. The police radios were not working inside the bldg.. and possibly dead - (we have had a number of issues with the Navy on providing adequate radios to officers - which has also fallen on deaf ears) and communications was virtually non-existent. In the meantime, the officers could see injured or deceased victims and were hearing gun shots. They headed toward the gun shots down to the third floor - someone had pulled the fire alarm making it extremely difficult for the two officers to hear where the shots were precisely coming from.
In the interim, the officers who were on fixed posts had closed up their posts and had to run almost half a mile from their posts to try and get to the NAVSEASYS building which is down on the Anacostia River. Why did they have to run??? Because the Navy had taken away their patrol cars as a cost savings measure. So now we have two officers in the NAVSEASYS Blgd - officers running a half mile because of no police cars after working all night, virtually no communications because of a poor radio system and the inability to switch over to the Metropolitan PD Radio frequency, as other police departments are able to do.
The Washington Navy Yard Police Officers still entered the building without concern for their own safety to try and stop this fellow. The security guard told the officers where the Chief and Capt were.
By then, the Chief and Capt were down on the third level and found two victims apparently dead. This guy was moving around. Seven minutes AFTER Chief McKinney sounded the request for mutual aid, MPD Officers started arriving. By then the chief and captain had been joined by two other security officers. Still shots were being fired and echoing through the building. Officers were teaming up with WNY Police Officers who knew the building layout.
At some point, this guy apparently made it to the first floor where he confronted the security officer - executed him and took his sidearm. He then headed back up the stairwell and was confronted by an MPD officer where they exchanged gun fire and an MPD Officer was shot multiple times in the legs. The shooter fled.
Washington Navy Yard Police Officers found the fallen officer and evacuated him to the rooftop for medevac - while other officers continued to hunt for this guy. This guy was now just shooting at anything that moved while people still fled the building. Finally he was confronted by a US Park Police Officer with am M-4, along with another police officer on the second floor who killed this guy with a shot to the head. And then it was over.
I'm disappointed that the coverage has not spoken about the heroism of the Washington Navy Yard Police Officers - the lack of equipment and the lack of manpower along with the Navy's general indifference to civilian law enforcement. But we WILL get that message out.
To chief McKinney, Captain Bobby Eason, FOP NDW Chairman Anthony Meely and all the WNY Officers who risked their lives, you are heroes in my eyes even if the Navy refuses to recognize your sacrifices.
Stephen G. DeNigris, Esq.

An Egyptian court has banned all activities of the Muslim Brotherhood in the country. Its assets will also be confiscated according to the court ruling.

“The court bans the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood organization and its non-governmental organization and all the activities that it participates in and any organization derived from it,”said the presiding judge Mohammed Sayed.

The Cairo Court for Urgent Matters also ordered the “confiscation of all the group’s money, assets, and buildings”.

The Cabinet has ordered the formation of an independent committee to manage the money until final court orders are issued.

“This is totalitarian decision,” leading group member Ibrahim Moneir told Al-Jazeera Mubashir Misr TV. “You are losers and it (the Brotherhood) will remain with God’s help, not by the orders of the judiciary of  Sisi,” he added, referring to the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces, who led the military-backed ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi.

The Brotherhood has been outlawed for most of its 85-year existence. It has been in its worst crisis since a similar attempt to suppress it in the 1950s.

However, after the ouster of former long ruling President Hosni Mubarak, it formed a political party and organized post-Mubarak elections.

In June 2012, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi won the presidential elections. However, on July 3 of this year the army overthrew Morsi after he rejected the military’s ultimatum to reach an agreement with Egypt’s opposition. The constitution was also suspended.

The crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood started shortly after the army announced a power take-over, with arrest warrants for hundreds of Brotherhood officials being issued.

In March 2013, the Muslim Brotherhood registered as a recognized non-governmental organization in response to opponents who disputed its legal status in court.

After suspension of the Islamists’ constitution, Cairo’s administrative court and the Ministry of Social Solidarity were ordered to review the Brotherhood’s legal status.

Earlier in September, an Egyptian judicial panel recommended the legal dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood as an officially registered non-governmental organization.

The court decision, which can be appealed, is likely to drive more Brotherhood members underground and encourage young Islamists to rebel against the state.
