New Site

Today is the first day of the new Transcendia.org wordpress website.   I am grateful to Heath and Ed Hettig for the creation of this site.   We plan to maintain this site with all its archives.

Still the time has come for a site that works better to raise money selling the apparell made by Cafe Press with the Transcendian Flag, help and marketing the Xtree poster that will eventually replace artificial trees.

I am a photographer and want to be able to offer photos as posters.

We can't forget my books either.  I'm changing my public name from Russell Scott Day, for sale to Scott Day, levitra | because so many prefer Scott and remember it better.  I'm changing the name of the novella from Homeless Dog, to The Revolutionary, so that work doesn't end up in the pet supplies section of Amazon.

On other fronts I will continue to work for World peace, and progress through science.

Some Warning

When first in the Rehab, pills or Nursing Home, depending on your condition and ambititons, there is warning that you may go mad.  The televisions play to the needs of many and duplicate in realty what is supposed to be a private torture.  One is supposed to go crazy all by ones self.

Insane, Crazy, we are not supposed to use the word crazy in a clinic setting, or diagnosis.  It is at least more cheery, crazy.  You have to admit.

So down the hall you go to be put in your square of a roof and window.

I had fear, and shoved it asside because there was nothing much I could do about it..

I had had the second of the operations I need to be able to walk and raise my right arm.

Course I might prefer to have my pained thumb redone.  I use it typing too much.  I limit my columns when the pain gets to be too much.

There is a little plastic bottle of an expensive liquid that I try drops and circled in in hope that the pain will abate.

Normally what I want now is sleep.

My "wound" is about healed and heals from the inside.

The crazy started immediately after the operation.  It came and went.  Finally I admitted quietly to the young nursing assistant who I trusted to not go for the strait jacket that I was having hallucinations.

B36/and my butt

The boneyard had bombers in snow blowing drifts.   We got the B 36 going along with the B 52, impotent and sent them out to do their duty.

I had to stand all the time, prostate or lay down.  My butt would hurt after 20 minutes of sitting and reading.

The seat of the motorcycle had developed a hole and he Sun had played hell with the paint, but the engine ran well.

Sidney was morose in the parking lot.  The grocery store closed now not staying open all night.

Alise was no more friendly as if childishness had been part of all of it much more than I ever thought.

Everybody let everybody down.

Everybody looked forward to the end by physics, not wanting other universes to compete.

Original Lease Theory

The Utility of the Lease in International Relations as remembered.

     It is the Lease that offers resolution to the conflict between shared imperatives, and sovereignty.
     Imperatives of international cooperation over and over again runs up against nationalism and sovereignty, and stall.   A crisis follows.
      Failed and failing States or territories in conflict and dispute could be better helped through the mechanism of the Lease, than longterm drift towards the typical crisis that results in war on the weakened by both internal and external powers.
       I site the history of Hong Kong as evidence of the hope offered by an internationally accepted lease agreement between China and Great Britian as resolution of their conflict.
        Since my reading of Jared Diamonds’ books, Guns Germs & Steel, Collapse, and The Third Chimpanzee, I have been thinking about what might be done to resolve the problems of Haiti and determined that the United Nations ought to lease it through its offices either to itself, or to another nation for sensible purposes.
       Since Haiti is destroyed as a self sustaining habitat it may well be best that Nuclear Power Plants and all other possible power generating facilities be built there along with an advance port facility for all manner of craft from boat to airplane to spacecraft.
       If Haiti is already ruined to the degree that is generally acknowledged its practical uses and asset may be a ruin that practically makes its strength, that ruination!
       As a hazardous materials depot and site for an isolated Nuclear Power Generating Point an economy better than the one currently existing would be possible to create to the benefit of the people who live there as well as others in the world and region.
       If pressure on the Dominican Republic is not in some manner soon alleviated it can be expected that the entire island will drift towards a common crisis.
        Lease of Haiti by the United Nations, the EU, or another responsible party in recognition by both the inhabitants the successful outcome achieved by the precedent of Hong Kong would seem to me to be a practical way to move forward from where we are realistically and offer the international community the best hope of a win win resolution.

Local Politics/Synthetic Aperture Radar

As far as I can tell from my research concerning Duke Forest land under the control of NASA, asthma The Calibration of the Photographic Equipment of the NASA Hassablads and Linhoff cameras was apparently completed in 1993.

      It is interesting that the cameras are mentioned in the studies more often than the film.

      So far the photographs from the radar system that I got are not very helpful to me.

      I hope it was useful, but have some other ideas about what other experiments might produce some benefits in my current neighborhood.

      I really want NASALand on Eubanks Road, and the Orange County Landfill turned into a State of the Art Recycling and Community Airport and have no objection if NASA continues to take pictures of it with whatever cameras they prefer.

Fire and Flood

The place where the old man and the ugly woman and the daughter worked was part on the bridge.   The old man died out walking and never came back and the old woamn was dumb and didn't know anything and old men came and got things to drink out of cabinents in the wall.

The house was down the hill on Pleasant Dr. It was by the river.  It was Brooklyn long ago.

Then there was a big fire and a flood.  It didn't make sense but it happened and was something to see as disaster time.

The other man who was rich and getting older bought an airplane and was flying it in loop de loops when he broke off part of one of the wings and tried to land it but crushed everything up.

He died and his pretty rich wife cried, viagra 100mg and that was that.

Brands

 

 

 

Brands

     There are names I trust.  There are stories to names that matter.  Today for instance we got a new screw gun because I somehow ruined the other one I'd had for a few years.  The one I ruined was a Black and Decker.  These days professionals consider Black and Decker to be throw away tools.  I hear that there is professional grade Black and Decker, discount but it is only available on line.

     Craftsman tools from Sears are typically superior.  It is about as if Sears only exists because their tools and appliances are reliable.  I remember when most everything in the house came from Sears.  My friend Joe Bell of the Sling Blades described some people as "Sears " People.  There was a time when I was a Sears Person then I guess.   I've heard that the professional name of Black and Decker is DeWalt.

     If I was going to become a mechanic, impotent I'd buy a Craftsman outfit, or a Snap-On outfit..  By outfit I mean the whole 9 yards for you need a tool box if you are a professional.  Roadies who do big shows and come out of the big name show union locals, like Local 1, or 52 in Manhattan build custom rolling tool boxes out of plywood.  I'd like to build one of those behemoths.  It is real unlikely that I will ever do so.  My days for some levels and types of work are past.  Arthritis like what I've got is like cancer for it isn't growing tumors in you, but it is just destroying all your joints.

    I think it even made my heart valves work less well, and suspect it damages any interior moviing parts.

    I had a Black and Decker hand saw, powersaw that we called the Destructo saw because it wasn't worth much, and if totally destroyed there would be no tears shed.  I ought not have bought it.  Having it made me look bad.  I bought a Delta chop saw because it would do what I needed and everybody else had the big DeWalt.  Bosch is typically a fine table saw, but otherwise it is overrated.

   I had a light duty Makita table saw.  The Bosch is bigger and better for the portables.

   Before anyone else on the crew had a RotoZip, I got one.  That was eventually my thing.  I tried to get things that no one else had, or that filled a guick and light good enough niche.  The Dremel Rotozip type tools actually outdid quickly the standard Rotozip.

   Someday I want a shop were I can invent some tools, like a quiet and light nail gun.  I wasted money on the gas powered Paslode.  Senco is the standard and there are reasons for that.  A Paslode trim gun is worth having, but the framer is past it's niche of time.  Dewalt offers some battery powered tools that are competitive.

    Battery powered tools are coming into their own like never before these days.   I won't be using them enough to justify buying them.  Just as my days as a carpenter were coming to an end, the Milwalkee 28 volt litium ion battery tools were coming on the scene.  The Milwalkee Sawsall has long been the standard in that area.

    Today our new screw gun came from The Home Depot. I ordered it on line.   It's an 18 volt ni cad powered screw gun.   It came with a battery powered saw and a great bag.  It's a Ryobi.  I've long had good luck with Ryobi, and the story behind the name is that they bought the name from the designer and have the same factory make what they sell.   .   This is different from many Chinese made things from what I hear.  I hear that the name contracts with the lowest factory group in China, which accounts for wide variance in quality.

    It makes The Home Depot look good that they sell Ryobi, instead of Black and Decker.   At least it used to all be that way.  Things keep changing.  It seemed as if The Home Depot was selling some Black and Decker as I saw when I was looking at what they sell on line.

    Buying online is now working out for me.  I'm hurt and huring with every movement from the arthritis.

    But you really do need to have a screw gun, battery powered drill around the house if only so you can teach your wife how to use it.  Ni Cad isn't as great as the Litium Ion, but it is powerful and good if you know how to use them and not destroy the battery by charging before its time.

    So there you have it. 

 

Radiation Part

 

 

 

 

Cyber war progressed to where they broke all the nuclear reactors and they were spewing radiation all over the place so that all the one way highways led to the same end.

I fell in with photographers with antique bikes and one man soapbox shaped cars.

Skinny was good in a major traffic jam.

I was accepted because I was a fighter.  It made me sad though that I wasn't really a leader.

We had some cyberwar jams of our own and when the TV in the XRay Bar could be got to work we watched people in enemy territory vomit and die, dosage ed just like we could see for real here at home.

Delirium Invoked

I don't know if I could have gotten myself out of my insanity all by myself this last horrible time that was induced by my desire to get the fuck out of the hospital and rehab settings.  The dreams were vivid and stayed long.  I may still be able to recreate them after a month.

There was the summer night and white chocolate horse on the ceiling that in its armpit was weighty smothering me.

There was the filthy home of my surgeon where bandages were being changed and stale cerial strewn all over.

The vertigo didn't stop.

On my back I was standing up.  Vertigo is what I think that was.  Bed was carried on my back and I didn't know it.  It was the spacesuit counterbalance.

The ceiling was the floor.

I hear I spoke of bombs and screamed I didn't feel safe.

It all started after the repair operation when the first replacement was pulled out and replaced after the hole and bones were cleaned in an attempt to kill all the germs.

Only one germ is supposed to be working to kill me since only one drug will kill that germ.

The ceiling was always the floor, discount and it was like spatial disorientation that pilots go through to lose their medical.  They crash if they don't believe their instrumenyts.

"Do you know where you are?"

In a place of terrible food.  I was and am sure that is true for me and anyone else trapped there.

Become a Scholar

The Attorney has sort of advised that due to the vagueness of Transcendia as a nation and company and work of art to give him a call when the required army is armed.  Therefor everybody who considers themselves a Transcendian, check or wants to be one, get a gun.

There are some instructions on the Transcendian youtube channel.  Watch.  be inspired.  please.
