You will have to have a source of electricity, of course, but the type of light it gives off could help us all avoid "seasonal affective disorder" otherwise known as "the blues" of winter lack of sunlight...

Plus, a useful life of 40 years doesn't hurt, either.

The only thing unclear is whether each bulb gives off 60 watts or if it takes all five bulbs to create 60 watts.  So, if you are interested, clarify that point.  $150 is a lot to spend to find out that you are only getting 60 watts out of five bulbs.  But, still, you could create a "sunlight" room to recharge yourself. 

I wonder if it is the type of light that would generate Vitamin D in your skin.  Anyone have any ideas as to that?  If it does, then you wouldn't need to stock extra Vitamin D, a value added making this light bulb worth more.  I'll contact this company and see if they know.

I wouldn't get rid of my Big Berkey (made by Doulton, not the imitations) but this looks like the perfect companion for your bug out bag, get-out-of-Dodge (G.O.O.D.) bag, evac pac, or survival pack, however you want to call it.

This came off of a site that is worth looking at:  http://www.solutionsfromscience.com/?cat=65.  There is only one product I question, the Peruvian Sleep Generator.  Binaural technology is well known.  You can get an instant download cheaper at theunexplainablestore.com.  The one that I found effective is the hypnosis one.

EPA declares hay a pollutant in effort to drive small, mid-sized family cattle ranchers out of business

Friday, September 09, 2011 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

http://www.naturalnews.com/033537_hay_pollutant.html

(NaturalNews) The assault against American industry and individual livelihood continues -- and no, it is not coming from Al-Qaeda or other foreign terrorists. A recent report from R-CALF USA, an advocacy group for American cattle producers, says the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has declared harmless cattle hay a "pollutant," which is part of the agency's agenda to squelch family-scale cattle ranches in favor of corporately-owned, mega-sized feedlot operations.

At the recent 12th Annual R-CALF USA Convention in Rapid City, SD, an audience member asked Mike Callicrate, a Kansas cattle feeder, if the EPA had, indeed, declared hay a pollutant. His affirmative answer was startling to many, but not necessarily surprising in light of the US government's apparent agenda to destroy every single producing sector in the nation and to reduce the country to a poverty-stricken, corporately-dominated wasteland.

"Now that EPA has declared hay a pollutant, every farmer and rancher that stores hay, or that leaves a broken hay bale in the field, is potentially violating EPA rules and subject to an EPA enforcement action," responded Callicrate. "How far are we going to let this agency go before we stand up and do something about it?"

Callicrate currently operates what is considered a mid-sized cattle ranch, and was ostracized by some of the nation's largest beef packers back in 1998 for exposing their illegitimate buying practices. Callicrate ended up having to cease operations for two years, but later reopened as a direct marketer of meat to consumers.

"I believe the EPA's enforcement action is a premeditated effort by EPA to partner with the beef packers to finish the job the beef packers couldn't do alone," added Callicrate, referring to EPA's failure to enforce the same rules for large meat packers like JBS-Brazil and Cargill (the two largest beef packing operations in the country).

Between 2008 and 2010, 45 small to mid-sized family cattle operations were forced out of business, according to R-CALF USA. During the same time, the nation's largest feedlots expanded their operations, and now own and feed roughly 25 percent of the nation's cattle.

"EPA is turning a blind eye toward the mega-feedlots that are a real risk for pollution and, instead, is antagonizing small to mid-sized family operations in an effort to help their packer-partners capture the entire live cattle supply chain away from family farm and ranch operations."

Major flooding in Pennsylvania and New York

Those poor people!!  My prayers are with them!  I am so thankful it has not been raining that badly in my immediate area, but in other counties near me they are shutting down schools and businesses left and right.  Even Hershey foods shut down their plant, never in my lifetime do I remember a business like that shutting down!   And it is not over as this stupid storm system is stalled.  (I sure wish I could send some of this stupid rain to Texas).  Rain, rain, go away!  (pictures link below)

I think this is IMPORTANT

Posted in the Important Notices Section

DONATIONS CAMPAIGN
The Donations tab is back up. Considering what we are now able to see, I'd like to prepay the Ning fees and associated costs as much as possible (even up to an entire year since it's cheaper that way) so that if my internet goes down this site will be able to remain available as long as possible. I have been the primary financier of this site (with grateful thanks to others who have also contributed in the past) but it's not in my budget to do more. 

Note, donations are neither tax deductible nor refundable. 

So anyone who wants to help is welcome to do so.  Let's keep this Ning going to help as many 11:59 arrivals as we can.  (That's 11th hour and 59th minute, and it's fast approaching.) 

Many thanks.
