Mardi Gras protests might have backfired

Glad to hear that the people are more interested in drunken public nudity than the church! I bet that all the preachers will be there with their cameras at the ready too. And not just tryng to expose these folks. On the whole the vast majority of preachers that I have met are a bunch of stuffed shirt, santamonious, do as I say, not as a do, pricks. Met a few that were really into it but most of them seem more interested in control and money than doing good. But that’s just my opinion.

Tired-Out Ranch, Tolna North Dakota

WIsh I could help these folks out. They have got a lot of good ideas but sounds like the state is fixing to come down on them big time due to their lack of compliance with stupid rules and regs that require tires to be BURIED in a landfill! Where they will be the next generations problem of course… :-(

Parallel Path Electromagnetic Motors — A revolution in motion? - ( OSEN ) Open Source Energy Network

Not sure about this one. I’ve looked at the patent and can’t see the diagrams. Guess the patent office is winblows only or something. Tis an interesting idea and they seem to have a viable product but the over unity bit in the article is a bit misleading, me thinks.

Bending Spacetime in the Basement

“The time has come,” the Hacker said,
“To talk of many things:
Of plastic foam–and tuna cans –
Of chunks of lead–and string –
And how the force of gravity –
Will make the balance swing.”

Cool! And interesting!

Gonna take a bit to get through the page but am going to have to try this.
