hehe you have to be kidding me folks our industry is thriving there is tons of work out there don't buy into the BS if one of you is destitute I could get you a job right now most likely bottom line...

We have already turned off the highway to hell believe it ... More and more things just keep looking up sit there and wait for your faith to be restored in this great nation or be part of the change it is in our hands the smallest things can make you or break you at any given time risk is something you take everyday without knowing. And if I were a betting man and I kinda am I would steak money on it too many rich people would not allow anything to happen to our great nation as they would stand to lose way too much!

Yeah, they wouldn't be happy, would they...but then what happened to the Mayan empire of Central America?
The Roman Empire?  The Byzantine Empire?  More than one Egyptian Dynasty?  More than one Chinese Dynasty?  Where are they now?
And let's not forget ancient Jericho.  Right now it's a pile of dirt mixed in with various ruins of past cities that failed for one reason or another---and that goes for Troy as well.

Civilized societies don't last, do they?  They arrive gradually or suddenly and leave similarly.  I just assert that this one right now is headed toward the Niagara Falls of economic disaster.

Take a look at this:
http://www.religion-place.info/21631/civilization-and-its-importance.html

I have a hunch:  Hunter/gatherer cultures can put up with natural disasters and still have enough people surviving to restart the culture from the begging.  The article above, I believe, implies the the ruling elite religionists and royal political noncontributing members of society place such a great strain on available resources that the civilized societies collapse, as the article's author above states or implies.
I point to the Congress and Federal Government and rest my case.  As I said before, "it's only a matter of time."  It's coming.

I have seen a faraday cage at a university in a physics dept.Its basically a grounded metal box.The one I saw I could walk into and it was like a screened off porch.The screens were heavier than normal wire screen.It had airholes in it.A metal storage building that is grounded and fairly heavy sheet metal completely enclosed could offer some protection against an EMP burst.triffid

I'm the proud owner of about 325 solar cells.And sometime in the next few months I will put together one panel using whatever wood or plastic or cardboard I can get my hands on.If I build one using cardboard it will stay inside the house like in a window.triffid

i sure hope you got a good deal on them ...

i have a few like 10 or so .. they are nice but there cheep something like 1 will charge a BOOST CAP in less than a full day as i understand ! there 2 by 2"

2 bucks each i got them from gadget ..  i imagine he gets them MUCH cheeper ...

We need to quit giving such simple evil minds such good ideas with going public about these statements... It is our wit which may lead to our own demise the good folks give men with little power great power by making comments about certain things to do with our inner workings ... Many of these evil people do not have half of a brain to come up with ideas of there own hell I don't know how many movies it took before there was a plane hijacking like the one in 9/11 ... Creativity falls out of reach of the most evil it is someone else who contributes to there thoughts.

Triffid sweet deal on the Solar Cells might I ask you to find someone around just wanting to get rid of old single pane glass windows you can easily seal them and refurbish them to make them weather proof you will get no where near the power in a window then you could get outside... Look at my solar panel for an idea as a word of caution never use hot glue on anything in the sun it will melt and run off...

I will be building a new panel myself in the near future... This time using 6x6 cells hopefully this thing will give me something a little more exciting then 70 - 120watts

I have a wind idea that has really never been attempted as well that I need to work on and the cool thing is I have never once seen the concept used in power generation but I am sure it could be used other ways as well! but I need to finish a PMA with bearing issues before I forge on to that project...

Everything requires time it seems and with a full time job it is nearly impossible to use enough of the off time to get fun projects done when you are pushed by other things like mere survival and rest needed to preform your full time job.

There was no unusual or bad news to cause this sudden drop and recovery, as far as traders and analysts could see.

The Greeks need to get their act together financially, or this problem will be dragged out across the economic landscape for all to see and become ever more apprehensive about.

Those who would try to make a bomb have to be real good at it without blowing themselves up.Take the guy who tried to blow up the suv in times square.He had it wired properly and placed between two buildings to magify the blast but we got lucky and about 4 or 5 things worked against him.Things which I won't go into detail here.I want us to stay lucky.Still it shows his intent.triffid

I had a solar corner in my last house and kept the solar panels sitting in the windows for eight years.I was making 80 watts an hour.triffid

The question I have is:
What would the local power company think of your setting the positive example by setting up a photovoltaic system to spite them, in a potentially politically incorrect way, even though they would knew it was legal?
Politics is politics.  The might consider you a thorn in their side if they were afraid you might be able to show others how to set up more systems.
