[VO]: Coining the New Science of Post Reality

2008-09-15 Thread R C Macaulay
Howdy Vorts,

Scientists at the Dime Box Saloon research Labs now believe there is evidence 
pointing toward post Reality. Proof of  existence of Post reality has been 
theorized but never proven because the laws of human nature prohibit such a 
happening.

This belief is supported by several new technology breakthroughs that include 
NIST's proof of anti-gravity, FEMA's new food distribution model for hurricane 
relief, and the Fed's financial rescue plan for born losers. 

 We have yet to assess NASA, DARPA, PETA and several other promising areas but 
the evidence is now sufficent to believe we are now entering an era of Camelot 
where nobody has to work, nobody needs to worry and everybody gets everything 
they want handed to them. A team of scientists are enroute to Houston, 
Washington and Wall Street to poll intellectuals on their reaction.

Did anyone notice that on one of the tower collapse videos that one corner
column remained standing for a moment after the collapse before it dropped
vertically, probably due to buckling near the base.  I'm not sure what the
significance of this is, only that it means something.

 Whether any of my comments apply to WTC7 is not clear, as its collapse
 looked rather different on video.
 
 That is becasue it was completely different in the details, and your
 understanding of the first two as being freefall is incorrect, but
 understandable. They were not freefall during any significant portiion
 of their fall AFAIK. Close but no cigar.
 
 Videos of the Two Towers (1  2) clearly show large chunks of debris
 falling separately and unconnected from the main structure.  This debris
 - which includes one 10 ton chunk of the exterior skin, is shown to
 descend at an acceleration which noticeably faster than that of the main
 portion of the collapse (perhaps 20% faster).

Whoa -- good point!  I recall seeing bits of junk arcing away from the
towers in the videos and descending faster than the collapse wave, but I
never made the connection -- it shows that they were not moving at full
free-fall speed, no matter what was claimed about them.

I copied the Knol cold fusion article to citizendium.org:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Cold_Fusion

This is easier to work with then Knol. I did not insert the footnotes 
because I think they can soon be made links to the rest of this wiki.


I like citizendium's organizing principles, such as the fact that 
they demand authors use their real names. See:


http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:About

I had a lot of fun modifying this article:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Reproducibility

This is how it was before I go to it:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Reproducibilityoldid=100165204

Quite different now. I hope the original author is not upset.

Not quite yet. First someone has to take a gamble on my fusion device. Then we

By the way, if anyone on this list would like to suggest a change or 
correction to the citizendium articles, and you do not want to bother 
to sign up with citizendium.org, just send the change directly to me. 
I will (probably) implement it.


There are too many websites with too many sign-up procedures.

[Vo]:[OT] Capitulation

2008-09-15 Thread Terry Blanton
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capitulation

Capitulation

A military term. Capitulation refers to surrendering or giving up.

In the stock market, capitulation is associated with giving up any
previous gains in stock price as investors sell equities in an effort
to get out of the market and into less risky investments. True
capitulation involves extremely high volume and sharp declines. It
usually is indicated by panic selling.

Investopedia Commentary

After capitulation selling, it is thought that there are great
bargains to be had. The belief is that everyone who wants to get out
of a stock, for any reason (including forced selling due to margin
calls), has sold. The price should then, theoretically, reverse or
bounce off the lows. In other words, some investors believe that true
capitulation is the sign of a bottom.

end

Get me out regardless of the cost.

Brokers across the board are saying they are seeing signs of
capitulation.  I moved to T Bills over a year ago.  Will they survive?
