If folk would like to discuss the technical side of designing and building the electronics to make an Interrupter of like device. I am prepared to help. I think it should be off list as it would be outside most people's area of interest. To be able to do this, one will need to be able to build up circuit board and understand a little about the 555 timer chip. (I say a little as that is about my limit.) I have ideas of how this can be included into broadcast devices. Gil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Folks, It has come down to my attention, a view, regarding the continuous broadcast of the preparations using radionic devices. It seems there is a concern that broadcasting these patterns during detrimental time periods (nodes and other Stella blackout periods) might bewelldetrimental. My initial reaction was that these time periods are small portion of the whole of time and that the beneficial broadcast time should out weigh the bad . After thinking about it a while I landed on that maybe discontinuous broadcast might have advantages. After all a blinking light has more impact than an even brighter continuous light. Maybe cyclic broadcasts might be more effective, keeping the chaos/order energy-building process in mind. (Would the energy patterns start reverting towards chaos after the broadcast was stopped?)(The broadcast does create more order?) So here I ponder. Would it benefit one to keep the Stella in hand when using a broadcast device? Which events would one want to let occur without a broadcast? Would a scheduled broadcast be more effective than one not? How does one figure this out? I know a number of list members do broadcast. It might be beneficial to discuss techniques and process. Trying to sort it out, Ed
Re: Peppering advice
Dear Di, Try making a pepper of the whole plant, it may prove to be most effective. Also make one from the seeds and record results. how much land are you going to treat and how are you going to potentise it to spray it out. there have been many posts contributed which will be in the archives.

Weakening of Organic Standard Is Considered
February 14, 2003 Weakening of Organic Standard Is ConsideredBy MARIAN BURROS uried within the $397 billion spending bill passed last night by Congress is a provision that would permit livestock producers to certify and label meat as "organic" even if the animals had been fed partly or entirely on conventional rather than organic grain. Under the provision, if the Agriculture Department certifies that organic feed is commercially available only at more than twice the price of conventional feed, then the department cannot enforce regulations requiring that livestock labeled organically raised be fed only organic feed. "This is an example of someone doing an end run to manipulate the government with disregard for the public's wishes," said Katherine DiMatteo, executive director of the Organic Trade Association, which represents the organic industry. The provision was added to the omnibus spending bill behind closed doors on Wednesday night with only Republicans present. It was included on behalf of a Baldwin, Ga., poultry producer, the Fieldale Farms Corporation, which has been trying since last summer to get an exemption that would allow it to feed its chickens a mix of conventional and organic feed. The company says there is not enough organic feed available. Congressional officials on both sides of the aisle say Speaker J. Dennis Hastert added the last-minute provisions at the request of Representative Nathan Deal, Republican of Georgia. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, which monitors campaign contributions, Mr. Deal received $4,000 from employees of Fieldale, which is in his district, during his last campaign. Calls to the offices of Mr. Deal were not returned. When Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, who wrote the organic standards program, learned of the last-minute addition to the spending bill he sent a letter to his colleagues urging them to defeat the provisions. Both he and Representative Sam Farr, Democrat of California, plan to introduce legislation to strike the provisions from the bill. "This whole thing is absolutely outrageous," Mr. Leahy said. "After years and years and years of work, to have someone sneak it in in the dark of night and wipe it out makes no sense. It's a poke in the eye of a lot of very hard-working organic farmers." Ed Nicholson, a spokesman for Tyson Foods, which is test marketing organic chickens, said: "We opposed adding this language to the omnibus spending bill. We think it is important to meet the organic requirements because otherwise it will compromise the integrity of the organic standards." The organic rules, which took effect in October, are an attempt to standardize a hodgepodge of regulations for an $11 billion industry that has been growing at the rate of 20 percent a year for a decade. The 2002 Farm Bill directed the agriculture secretary to assess the availability of organically produced feed for livestock and poultry. The report has not been released, but information from Organic Trade Association members indicates that organic feed is commercially available at prices lower than those in the language of the exemption. "I think this jeopardizes the whole organic industry in the United States," Mr. Farr said of the provision before Congress. Copyright 2003The New York Times Company | Privacy Policy
FW: WAGE PEACE
WAGE PEACE by Mary Oliver Wage peace with your breath. Breathe in firemen and rubble, breathe out whole buildings and flocks of red wing blackbirds. Breathe in terrorists and breathe out sleeping children and freshly mown fields. Breathe in confusion and breathe out maple trees. Breathe in the fallen and breathe out lifelong friendships intact. Wage peace with your listening: hearing sirens, pray loud. Remember your tools: flower seeds, clothes pins, clean rivers. Make soup. Play music, learn the word for thank you in three languages. Learn to knit, and make a hat. Think of chaos as dancing raspberries, imagine grief as the outbreath of beauty or the gesture of fish. Swim for the other side. Wage peace. Never has the world seemed so fresh and precious. Have a cup of tea and rejoice. Act as if armistice has already arrived. Don't wait another minute.
Re: Does the benefit outweigh the detriment?
James, Lloyd and Gil, thanks for picking up this thread.
I think that the personal attention/intent aspect of broadcasting should
not be overlooked, just as the physical application of the preps shouldnt
(even while broadcasting). More effect is what were after, no? I do like
the idea of broadcasting though, especially in my situation (full daytime
job). The notion of having the preps affect the farm while Im not there
is an attractive one. This time of year (short days),stirring and spraying
usually occurs only on the weekend!
Gil, I think automating the broadcaster could have its place ('vacations',
wilderness broadcasting) but why would you want to encourage a situation
where less attention would be paid (less effect?)? I bet it would be
difficult to time 'out' all the different negative periods.
Im curious however, to the timing of the broadcasts. How does one figure
which events are detrimental? Are all trines negative in their effect? Are
there certain conjunctions/oppositions that might have a positive effect?
Does one want to not broadcast during the entire retrograde of mercury, or
just when it starts (and ends). What about when other planets go retro.
Stella blacks out the two hours around changes in four-fold periods
(root/leaf/flower). Is there an advantage to pulling (and putting)
reagents this frequently?
How can one understand these detrimental times better?
Sorry for the avalanche of questions (it was an effort not to include
more), but Im just trying to pick up on the mindset. The farther one can
go with logical progression the better chances one has to fly when they
take that leap of faith.
Not wanting to blindly follow the calendar, and
still on the (very) front edge of the learning curve,
Ed

Now large corporate agricultural businesses want to jump on the bandwagon by faking accreditation WITH THE CONSENT OF CONGRESS I hope to hear that you protested this abuse of power by the U.S. Congress.

FW: [globalnews] Arundhati Roy at Porto Alegre World Social Forum
Title: FW: [globalnews] Arundhati Roy at Porto Alegre World Social Forum [from a talk at the World Social Forum in Brazil recently - for the whole talk go to http://www.zmag.org] (...) Many of us have dark moments of hopelessness and despair. We know that under the spreading canopy of the War Against Terrorism, the men in suits are hard at work. While bombs rain down on us, and cruise missiles skid across the skies, we know that contracts are being signed, patents are being registered, oil pipelines are being laid, natural resources are being plundered, water is being privatized, and George Bush is planning to go to war against Iraq. If we look at this conflict as a straightforward eye-ball to eye-ball confrontation between Empire and those of us who are resisting it, it might seem that we are losing. But there is another way of looking at it. We, all of us gathered here, have, each in our own way, laid siege to Empire. We may not have stopped it in its tracks - yet - but we have stripped it down. We have made it drop its mask. We have forced it into the open. It now stands before us on the world's stage in all it's brutish, iniquitous nakedness. Empire may well go to war, but it's out in the open now - too ugly to behold its own reflection. Too ugly even to rally its own people. It won't be long before the majority of American people become our allies. Only a few days ago in Washington, a quarter of a million people marched against the war on Iraq. Each month, the protest is gathering momentum. Before September 11th 2001 America had a secret history. Secret especially from its own people. But now America's secrets are history, and its history is public knowledge. It's street talk. Today, we know that every argument that is being used to escalate the war against Iraq is a lie. The most ludicrous of them being the U.S. Government's deep commitment to bring democracy to Iraq. Killing people to save them from dictatorship or ideological corruption is, of course, an old U.S. government sport. Here in Latin America, you know that better than most. Nobody doubts that Saddam Hussein is a ruthless dictator, a murderer (whose worst excesses were supported by the governments of the United States and Great Britain). There's no doubt that Iraqis would be better off without him. But, then, the whole world would be better off without a certain Mr. Bush. In fact, he is far more dangerous than Saddam Hussein. So, should we bomb Bush out of the White House? It's more than clear that Bush is determined to go to war against Iraq, regardless of the facts - and regardless of international public opinion. In its recruitment drive for allies, The United States is prepared to invent facts. The charade with weapons inspectors is the U.S. government's offensive, insulting concession to some twisted form of international etiquette. It's like leaving the doggie door open for last minute allies or maybe the United Nations to crawl through. But for all intents and purposes, the New War against Iraq has begun. What can we do? We can hone our memory, we can learn from our history. We can continue to build public opinion until it becomes a deafening roar. We can turn the war on Iraq into a fishbowl of the U.S. government's excesses. We can expose George Bush and Tony Blair - and their allies - for the cowardly baby killers, water poisoners, and pusillanimous long-distance bombers that they are. We can re-invent civil disobedience in a million different ways. In other words, we can come up with a million ways of becoming a collective pain in the ass. When George Bush says you're either with us, or you are with the terrorists we can say No thank you. We can let him know that the people of the world do not need to choose between a Malevolent Mickey Mouse and the Mad Mullahs. Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness - and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we're being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling - their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. - Arundhati Roy Porto Alegre, Brazil January 27, 2003 -- End of Forwarded Message
