Enough already: Snow breaks mid-Atlantic records (AP)

AP - Worst winter ever? The second blizzard in less than a week buried the most populous stretch of the East Coast under nearly a foot of snow Wednesday, breaking records for the snowiest winter and demoralizing millions of people still trying to dig out from the previous storm.


Troops Randomly Patrol Streets In Pittsburgh, Respond To "Domestic Disputes"

Americans are once again being conditioned to accept the sight of troops patrolling the streets and dealing with domestic law enforcement issues under the pretext of National Guard soldiers "helping" recovery efforts after the deluge of snow that has hit the East coast, the same soldiers who just months ago were also "helping" authorities to brutalize innocent people during the G20 summit in Pittsburgh.

Unprecedented Challenges In Financial History

Posted: Feb 09 2010 By: Jim Sinclair

My Dear Extended Family,

I doubt there has ever been a time in financial history when there has been challenges of this magnitude.

This is not business as usual in any form.

When have financial meetings been so top secret?
When has the military cordon off financial meetings?
When have F-18s, F-22s and French Rafales provided air support (as the Swiss did for the Davos seminar) for two central bank meetings in the last few weeks as the USA and Australia did?

Don’t accept terrorism as an excuse for everything that remains unexplained. There are so many lies and so much misinformation out there that the task of figuring out what is real is a daunting task.

I implore you to go for safety in everything you do. How can you go wrong hunkering down?

Do not speculate.

You cannot out trade these people nor can you read their intentions by charts. Both are impossibilities.

Do not deal on borrowed money. Secure you and yours. Take delivery of your precious metals and share certificates.

We are in unchartered seas of international financial turmoil. The mega rich have no loyalty to anyone or anything.

I know some of them, made one of them from scratch, and I assure you would put their mothers in a microwave for the right price. This is a financial world war taking place behind top secret meetings that are deciding our fate while not even knowing they are out of control.

I can’t change this but I can do my best to protect you.

Respectfully,
Jim

Global Warming Agency; Budget busting, economy depressing, deficit and national debt obesity to strangle our children for decades to come

Our King of Big Government Suggests We Need Another New Agency

Canada Free Press Tuesday, February 9, 2010

What is the matter with that man in our White House? Will he ever stop trying to spend every nickel and dime that Americans have, including our savings that we worked hard for to ease our retirement years? He acts like a poor kid that suddenly comes into some money and it is burning a hole in his pocket to get spent. It is an infatuation and an obsession that the money has got to be disposed of regardless of how infantile or worthless the object of the spending is. Spend, spend, spend!

The problem is that he doesn’t spend just nickels and dimes, no; this guy is more like the proverbial fool and his money but in the billions and trillions neighborhood, and it’s OUR money. No, no, none of that penny ante stuff like hundreds of thousands or even millions; it has to be in the billions or trillions or it doesn’t please his little spendthrift heart.

And now he is at it once again. He has found another new scheme to fondle and nurture into a budget busting, economy depressing, deficit and national debt obesity to strangle our children and our children’s children for decades to come. It’s his own personal Global Warming Agency; right here in RiverCity (Potomac?). Move over Al Gore you will be outguessed on the rise or fall of temperatures by none other than the Messiah of the new millennium, Barry Soetoro, AKA, Barack Hussein Obama. READ MORE

MORE FROM CANADA FREE PRESS:

Since taking office, Obama’s key objective on terrorism has been to transform the public perception of it from an international military conflict, to a limited domestic criminal problem. Renaming terrorism to the bureaucratically euphonious term, “Man Caused Disasters” was straight out of the first rule in the textbook of organizational coverups, to phrase your sentences so that the identity of the perpetrators of the crisis remain as vague as possible. Focusing on everything but terrorism, while shutting down Gitmo and dispatching top Al Qaeda terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to civilian trials, was meant to restore the illusion of normalcy, while doing away with the terrorism focus of the Bush Administration.



Taking America back from the Marxist jaws of Barack Obama starts with your own children in the privacy of your own home.

Obama’s Marxist agenda for the USA did not start on Nov. 4, 2008. It started long before when he and his domestic terrorist pal Bill Ayers were force-feeding a radical agenda through the public school system.



The military has canceled the deposition of an alleged terrorist mastermind who claimed that he was assaulted by the military following his capture last year. The law firm Puckett and Faraj, representing Navy SEAL Matthew McCabe, made the announcement on Sunday.

During the January 2010 World Economic Summit in Davos Switzerland Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the current Chairman of the G-20, presented the upcoming agenda for the G-20 and G-8 meetings to be held in Ontario in June. Many were shocked to hear this Conservative leader declare that “we also know markets need governance. For the new global economy, the G-20 is what we have.” Harper went on to speak as an avowed Keynesian committed to a one world global economy, creating a world “we have been trying to build since 1945”.

Yesterday Paul Krugman penned an article for the New York Times, which in summary argued that America was lost because the Senate had too many procedures that could allow Republicans to block Obama, Reid and Pelosi’s idea of what is good for America. Lest you think this was mere hyperbole on Krugman’s part, he compared the United States of 2010 to 18th century Poland, to 18th century Poland, which in Krugman’s assessment was destroyed because of excessive democracy.

Just when you thought the mentally deranged and draconian insults had gone far enough with Nepolitano and Homeland security last April, identifying our vets and everyone else who has traditional American values, as potential terrorists, now it gets worse.

At the same time, Winnipeg Police Chief Keith McCaskill has announced he is removing himself from the review of the case as one of the officers involved, Cst. Ryan Law, is his nephew.
According to Cody Bousquets defence lawyer, his face was beaten when Winnipeg police arrested the young man for leading police on a high-speed chase in a stolen vehicle last February.
The video, showing four officers restraining and arresting Bousquet, was released by the 19-year-old man's lawyer as part of a plea bargain submitted Thursday to the court.

Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi to email girlfriends on Feb 14

Updated: 2010-02-11 03:19

ROME:Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who is in the middle of a divorce battle, said on Wednesday he would email Valentine's Day wishes to "all my girlfriends".

Berlusconi's second wife Veronica Lario announced she wanted to divorce him last year after he attended the 18th birthday party of an aspiring model in Naples.

The 73-year-old, who is one of Italy's richest men and owns a TV and media empire, later became embroiled in a sex scandal when an escort said she was paid to sleep with him at his Rome residence.

He says he has never paid for sex but has acknowledged he is "no saint".

Asked at a book presentation about his plans for Valentine's Day on Sunday, a smiling Berlusconi replied: "I'm using my computer and sending wishes to all my girlfriends."

The Green Police Are Coming to California


Written by CA Political News on February 09, 2010, 12:54 PM
The Green Police Are Coming
CalWatchdog.com, 2/8/10

If you think the Super Bowl commercial depicting The Green Police was a joke, think again. Californias Cap and Trade law, AB 32 will allow fines, fees, and a law enforcement approach against green violators, all while attempting to reduce the states carbon emissions starting in 2012.

The jobless rate is 12.4% in California, 2.25 million Californians are unemployed, and the state government is broke. Yet many legislators are still gung ho about Californias global warming taxes and regulations.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, The law all but encourages outsourcing to Nevada, Texas, China and India. Even the liberal Sacramento Bee, which supports the law, says that policy makers should be candid about the real costs of the transition it is contemplating. . . . Industries that are energy-intensive will move elsewhere.

Those real costs will be everything that uses energy from light bulbs, to plastic bags, our cars and pets even the size of a families carbon footprints (limit on number children families will be allowed to have). Trucking companies, utilities, manufacturers and most other businesses will be hit with hefty new taxes when the unrealistic caps on CO2 are imposed and inevitably violated.

Because AB 32 regulations require diesel engines to be retrofitted to cut greenhouse gas emissions, small and large business owners would be required to buy newer trucks and have no used truck market to sell their old ones. This would put independent truckers out of business.

The green police may have gotten laughs all over the country, but in California it is no laughing matter.

An Ohio task force investigating human trafficking in that state says nearly 800 immigrants a year are forced into the sex trade or sweatshop-type jobs.

The report by the Trafficking in Persons Study Commission released

Wednesday also finds that more than 1,000 children born in Ohio are forced into the sex trade each year. The commission estimates that hundreds more immigrants and Ohio children are at-risk of being forced into sex trafficking or to work against their will in fields, restaurants, sweatshops or construction sites.

Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray formed the commission. Its report says Ohio's human trafficking laws are weak and police agencies often don't recognize human trafficking.

The attack "interrupted transport, causing a reduction in refining at the Dora station from 100,000 barrels a day to 70,000 barrels," he added.

"Ministry teams are working to repair it, and we hope it will be able to function again in a few days."

Monsanto plans to unleash its latest Frankenfood experiment on the American and Canadian public

(snip)
In the 2010 growing season Monsanto plans to unleash its latest Frankenfood experiment on the American and Canadian public, a new version of genetically mutated corn with eight abnormal gene traits called Genuity SmartStax corn. It is the culmination of an astonishing scandal that has been steadily building over the past decade. During this time Monsanto’s mutated seeds have grown to 90% of the U.S. soy crop and 85% of the corn crop – and wheat is next on their agenda. Their efforts have been marked by corporate bullying and have drawn the attention of the Justice Department who is conducting an antitrust investigation. All the while they have been spending millions on lobbying to fast track their agenda before the American public even realizes what hit them. Monsanto is making an ominous power play to corner the worldwide market on food and seeds. In the process they are adversely altering the very nature of food itself.

The Addicted Gardener: How to buy the best seeds

Posted Feb 08, 2010 @ 02:18 PM

Having just returned from a quick visit to Florida and catching a serious case of spring fever while working to make my Mom’s yard more presentable, I vowed to finish ordering my seeds when I returned home and make a plan for when to start them inside. A reader emailed me to ask where the best places to buy seed were, and when to start planting them. So, I’d like to share my favorite seed sources with you and a bit about raising those seeds.

You can, of course, buy seeds at local garden centers and big box stores, but I prefer to purchase seed through the mail. It gives me a wider choice of varieties and allows me to comparison shop without leaving my favorite chair.

Pinetree Garden Seeds is a great source for home gardeners (www.superseeds.com) who want to try a particular variety but don’t want a lot of seeds. Pinetree packages their seeds in small quantities, which are very reasonably priced. In addition to a large variety of the usual garden standbys (tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc.) they also sell European, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American varieties. This is the section of the catalog I visit first.

Renee’s Garden (www.reneesgarden.com) offers her personal selection of seeds, from heirlooms to open pollinated varieties to excellent new hybrids. She has had 24 years experience of seed sourcing (she started and ran Shepherd’s Seeds for many years before selling it to White Flower Farm) and her packets provide clear growing instructions. Renee often mixes two or more varieties in the same package (but labels them separately) so you can try several varieties without buying them individually. Her website gives a full description and photo of each variety, complete seed starting information and great growing tips. The site also contains fabulous recipes and “how-to” photo essays.

For those of you who want to try to garden organically, Seeds of Change (www.seedsofchange.com) sells 100 percent certified organic seeds. My only disappointment with them was that my favorite cabbage (January King – the most beautiful and tasty cabbage I’ve ever grown) was sold out last year and not available this year. When I called the company, they said if the item isn’t listed in the catalog, it usually means there was a crop failure the year before and to check back the following year if it’s something you really want.

John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds (www.kitchengardenseeds.com) does not have photographs in their catalog. Instead, they have well done illustrations and good descriptions of what they carry. Their catalog and website give good growing information and the website tells you how long to expect your seeds to be viable.

You can’t go wrong with Park Seed (www.parkseed.com). They have good variety and their seed is packaged in foil to keep it fresh longer. The only thing I’d advise is to write the year that you purchase the seed because they don’t list it on the package. Burpee Seeds (www.burpee.com) is another highly recognized name that is reliable, but a bit pricey.

Most of the catalogs I’ve named also carry flower seeds, plants, books and garden supplies. One caution: “new” and “new introduction” are not synonymous! If it says “new,” it simply means the catalog is carrying it for the first time versus introducing it to the public for the first time.

Now that you’ve got your seeds, what do you do with them? Read the instructions on your packet! If the packet doesn’t have instructions, go back to the catalog or website to get the appropriate information. Do not start seeds too early. It is the biggest mistake people make and the reason many don’t try a second time.

If you have room to set up a fluorescent light over a table in your basement or elsewhere in your home, that is the ideal. Lights should always be kept about three inches above plants. That keeps them from getting leggy. If you don’t have lights, a south facing window is best. Be sure to rotate your plants if they’re in a window. Warmth underneath the plants is helpful for seed germination but not essential. Plant your seeds according to package directions, noting the time they take to germinate and the time from planting out to harvest.

Some seeds will germinate in a day or two. Some take months. Some need to be stratified (i.e., put 60-90 days in moist paper towel in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or sown outside where they will experience the freeze and thaw process they need to germinate properly).

Tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, and basil should be started indoors by April 1. Start all seeds in a seed-starting medium (very fine) and cover with plastic to hold in moisture. Lift the plastic occasionally to keep your seeds from rotting, but don’t let the planting medium dry out.

Squash, melons, cucumbers and pumpkins can be started indoors on April 30 (only plant one seed per pot), or they can be started directly in the garden in May. All of these plants should be ready to be hardened off by Mother’s Day (May 9) and ready to plant in the garden by Memorial Day (May 31). However, peppers and eggplant are very sensitive to cold, so if it is cold, wait a week or two to plant them out. They will catch up as soon as it warms up.

Lettuce, carrots, Swiss chard, beets, beans and many herbs can be direct-seeded in the garden, so you needn’t waste space to start them indoors.

Today, gardening is a billion-plus dollar industry. It is the number one leisure activity in the United States. There are many more community gardens that have started to spring up. Whenever the economy is poor, we see more “Victory Gardens”– especially vegetable gardens – and growing vegetables from seed is very much a part of that process.

I’m interested in knowing if you start your own seeds and what topics you’d like covered in this column. As Frances Hodgson Burnett said in “The Secret Garden,” “As long as one has a garden, one has a future. As long as one has a future, one is alive.”

Be alive! Stay in touch with the earth and each other!

Classification of Solar Flares

Magnetic fields trigger solar wind


Solar Update - Solar activity has been fairly low the past 24 hours. A few C-Class flares have taken place around Sunspot 1045 which continues to decay.

Sunspot 1046 which is also located in the northern hemisphere continues to show slight growth. This region has been otherwise quiet.

There will remain a slight chance for M-Class flares.

Sunspots 1045 and 1046 (Wednesday)



SDO Launch Delayed- After several attempts, the launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory has been delayed until Thursday morning at 10:23 AM EST because of gusty winds. At the end of the launch widow with T-3:59 left until launch, a sensor picked up a strong wind load and thus terminated the attempt.

Thursday morning you will again be able to watch the action live at the link below.

EARTHQUAKE UPDATES


Haiti earthquake only moved half the Enriquillo fault - USA Today

Geologists say beleaguered Haiti may still be waiting for the other shoe to drop, seismologically speaking. Analysis of high-resolution radar images shows that only half of the Enriquillo fault ruptured in the Jan. 12 quake that devastated the island nation's capital.

The western portion of the fault segment ruptured, but the eastern segment did not, says Tim Dixon, professor of geology and geophysics at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.

That means half the energy locked up in the ground under Port au Prince has yet to be released. "There's a reasonable probability of another large quake, similar to the January 12 event, striking Port au Prince within the next 20 to 30 years," says Dixon. He thinks the nation should move critical infrastructure such as government buildings, schools and hospitals northwards, out of the danger zone. READ MORE

Wild Zebra stand in a makeshift pen after they were rounded up by Kenya Wildlife Service officers to be loaded onto waiting trucks at Soysambu conservancy in Nakuru, north-west of Nairobi for relocation to Kenya's famed Amboseli national park. Kenyan game rangers began rounding up thousands of zebras to be moved to a reserve where starving lions have been attacking livestock.

The spectacular nationwide operation, launched in Soysambu conservancy by the Kenyan Wildlife Service, is due to last until the end of the month in what will go down as one of Africa's largest animal reslocations yet. KWS aims to move some 7,000 animals in all, 4,000 zebra and 3,000 wildebeest. At least 88 zebras had been captured, hours into the operation.
