The Story of the Bathroom Sink

Today i woke up full of wish to take hold, as the poet once said. It was around year 2000 when a guy who was doing mechanic work in his garage told me: You have to know how to "watch the news, George!", "If you don't watch them right, you will get more confused than before" or something like that and he looked like he meant it. It was maybe the beginning of a mental thread that never ended but i can still put myself at peace and trying to forget. Cause now i know what he meant. However, what i still don't understand is why he told me that? Just to bully me, recurrently, cause he was one of them. One of the thousands from the army of actors replacing anybody i ever met and knew. The Foxey news. Don't take them seriously, or better said literally, but behold and try to understand why they're saying this and that and on what level of the ladder of illusions.

Especially after what i saw last night on google earth. One of my theories that verifies and could possibly finally bring me some money. That is if the world is functioning the way they say it does which is not. But sometimes they are trying to simulate it does and i could, maybe, with lots of luck, catch one of those moments.

But a "dry air" was still choking me while a hangover from i'm not sure what was holding me back. Then i started to vaguely remember what i've done last night. I tried to clean one more time the uncleanable, the big black hole i'm staring every time i go there to wash my hands or whatever, underneath the bathroom sink. Before that i also tried to take one more picture to post online when i saw (in the picture), horrified that there was more to that runoff than i knew. Something on the other side of the drain. Another piece of it that leads to nowhere, while the front one covers the overfill. A cheap way to close everything. That runoff altogether can hold maybe one gallon of fluid.

Then i remembered the rubber gasket that i pulled from inside through one of the holes of the "assembly" as the guy at Homo DePot told me. The holes that allow the runoff to empty in case of overfill. That rubber gasket prevented water from the sink to go in the runoff, while the vertical holes on the pipe going down ("the assembly") do not?

Then i painfully took everything apart, stuck a rag, a kitchen sponge inside and tried to clean it one more time. I double i did it completely, cause while i'm writing her i feel the same pungent smell of "dry air" which is actually mold. Garlicky so to say. Took pictures,

then i ate something, and i remember i wanted to take that piece of broken gasket to Homo DePot to make it less painful there.
Then i left however outside i saw the poos. I told myself. Should pick them now cause it's gonna smell less inside when i get back.

So i went to pick those and it was then i realized i was high, could not handle that bag, i touched one of them, etc.. Then i went back inside to wash my hands.  Then i left but after the first intersection i realized i should have gone to park first to clear my mind a little, so they won't make again a full out of me. It was nice in the park, i took a few pictures. Until i got at the (in)famous T intersection, where there's always many vehicles waiting at the most useless stop sign in the world. After i passed that, again smoke was flooding the whole area so i just turned around, and the whole walk in the park was kinda neutral, i was dizzy again.

Right here beyond these threes  there is a (public) pond  that corresponds to the river through a canal. On the other side of the road there is another pond, hidden by a fence. From there, sometimes emerge ducks, big or small, mature or babies attempting to cross the road, in flight or walking. There is even a sign saying "duck crossing". Today they were driven by a blower from next house. They stopped the traffic as i was passing.

I passed again the whipping post of Tualatin, next to a trash bin

(Needless to say. Blogger has recently done some unrequested by nobody mods to it's interface. One of the things it does, is changing the resolution of the uploaded pictures, randomly. Others, impossible to describe in words, delays my work considerably, could have finished hours ago) So drove in my old truck to Homo DePot and there first thing i saw, like yesterday, was the deep blue smoke coming out of the BBQ, maybe announcing. Habeamus Presidentes. Again filling the huge parking lot with good smells of wood and BBQ.

Inside Homo DePot. I stuck my hand in my pocket where i knew i had that piece of gasket. However, it wasn't there. I knew i was toasted cause they are trying to set me up among many other things as going there for no good reason. Cause there was such gasket on the bay. There was no separate bay for bathroom sink, just a column in another one. I could find a gasket of that type for shower drain, but not for sink. I couldn't see any guys in orange apron around and went in paint and asked one guy and he went hysterical, like he waited and made a store wide announcement, inviting whoever wanted to come and help me on isle 12.  Finally an older curly guy (obviously not a Homo DePot seller but some politician but with mask, who can tell) came and started to play like he didn't understand what i was saying and after stumbling and guessing for 5 minutes. I showed him from the beginning the gasket from the shower drain and i said i needed one for the sink, then he showed me one for the kitchen sink which i already knew they had. Then he asked me, is it in the bottom or the top of the sink? I said on top and he showed me one for the faucet/ Should have said. Top of the bottom? He finally showed me he one whole assembly of a drain but with no gasket in it and then he told me, softly this time (not yelling like before to prove i'm stupid for anyone that listens, just for myself to hear), they used to have one, nowadays people are using silicon instead.

I came back, i was really careful at the left turn on Carman (yes, coming from Se quoia aka redwood), cause yesterday some crazy tried to simulate i didn't see him, trying to turn into my lane, and when i got here started to asses the mole hole situation.

Cannot prove it and nobody believes me but every time i plug those the smoke stops for a while. I was thinking. Maybe the guy with the catering business. Maybe catering is just a cover, maybe he's cooking hash. Cause i never feel the smell of food, only this weird smell that makes me dizzy, aggressive, etc.. But then why every time i find and plug those holes the smoke stops, at least for a while. Anyways, it's all outdated, while i was trying to figure new blogger's interface (i don't really know html, i learned only what i needed for minimal blog writing, now they changed it all and had to learn whole new tricks to be able to do the same thing. (Example: If y remove completely style from href after uploading a picture which i don't need for my minimalist style, blogger lowers dramatically the resolution of that picture).

However i throw this picture here, it was done hours ago, just went and plugged a hole inches from that one. After i heard a big exhaust noise and felt new smoke coming in here (vibration from the exhaust helps the smoke get inside).

Now i have to go and put that sink together, using silicon, whatever, is 6 PM and all my plans for today are forgotten since many hours ago.

As for the money making idea. I told Angela earlier today. I did look a bit last night on google earth for some big gold mine locations around the globe like in South Africa and all i can tell is there is way more gold out there waiting to be found and i know where to look for it.

The Story of the Clamp

So far i discovered 4 major weaknesses at my 2013 Hyundai Elantra.

1st. Electronic commanded throttle is vulnerable to dirt (dust + oil). When dirt gets in the bearings of the throttle it changes their behavior. Don't know if anybody every tried. The suction power of the throttle is so great it will pull your hand inside if you try to cover it with your palm while the engine is idling. There is enough force on those two little bearings to create important friction resistance in the bearings if dirt gets in there that would interfere with the usually weak step motors that drives the throttle. The step motor thus may skip steps unaccounted by the computer, or there is a feedback sensor that signals a position that can not be achieved between two steps as prescribed, or in other words, running out of predicted positions. Computer tries to correct that and cannot and that would create an oscillation of the throttle together with an oscillation of the engine that could lead to serious driveability problems at high speed. A little WD40 seemed to cure the problem, for now.
2nd. The top of the radiator with the filler neck is made of composite materials. The radiator cap is too weak and the two threading flaps bend especially if you are careless when you take it out to look at the level and coolant starts leaking. One threading flap is visible in this image appearing closest to viewer. I did not have problems since i sprang those back last summer. However at Jiffy Lube they took the cap to check the level and filled the reservoir. It smells like coolant every time i pop the hood ever since. Also people start coughing in the lot in the very second i pop the hood, but that is another problem, them working on creating false perceptions for those who listen to live streaming sound from cell phones.

3rd. The intake manifold is installed by design the other way around as in the old vehicles. That is under the engine head and in front of the engine. Condensed oil from blow by gases or simply leaking through PCV valve pools at the bottom of the intake. From there, during certain engine stages it starts trickling upwards through the runners in sudden, larger amounts than if it was like in older types, where it flows at more constant amounts contaminating the valves, valve rings and spark plugs.

4th. The intake manifold is made of composite materials instead of metal. The PVC port of the intake is 5/8 inch in diameter. There is no clamp good enough to eliminate any possible vacuum leak at that port when connecting a flexible hose.

Because of the catch can i added to avoid oil getting in the intake i could not use the original hose and spring type clamp that was too week for the hoses i bough at NAPA (fuel line and PCV type).

So far i tried different clamps. Last time i ordered an Amazon a set of 5 different diameters wire clamps (a type also have a little spring action and can adapt to shrinkage of the rubber, to a certain extent) because of price and thinking it will cover any size and surprise. However, when they got in i was surprised that between two of the sizes there is a gap where was missing the exact size i needed.

So i improvised using my experience with clamps for coolant bought at NAPA that were pinching the hose so i had to put a ring made of sheet metal between clamp and hose. But as rubber was giving in i had to tightened them at almost every longer trip (because if i didn't i would get 10% less mpg). And in the end the clamps' thread bent.

And this is where the story comes. I remember i cut the sheet metal for the ring long enough for the two ends of the ring to overlap. In fact, i was afraid that by overtightening the inner end would again pinch the hose. However, when tightening (the next day, after i slept at the hotel) it i was reaching a point of sudden resistance. Mpg was fine in my way there but i assume that after the rubber gave in, it went down. The two ends of the ring under the clamp touched and there was not enough tightening of the hose and vacuum started to leak again (air from outside getting sucked in the intake in an uncontrolled way, bypassing the  throttle). The computer using the sensors senses more oxygen and adds more fuel, beyond the trash-hold of full fuel efficiency. Capisci?
So today i just built another ring and this time i took a picture and put it here before installing to can prove (including to myself) that it overlaps.

Beam It Up, Earthers!

I wrote yesterday on a fb post:

«I take Tesla's claims seriously. He is the man who invented most anything related to second industrial revolution, based on electricity and electric machines and devices.»

Late in life he claimed he invented a device that could have been used as a weapon based on sending out particles at a very high speed, the so called "Death Ray". But it was not what nowadays we may call an "energy weapon" like by example a laser could be. It was about sending out nano particles accelerated at such speeds that would be effective as a weapon hundreds of miles away, he said.

"My apparatus projects particles which may be relatively large or of microscopic dimensions [that would be even greater than nano particles], enabling us to convey to a small area at a great distance trillions of times more energy than is possible with rays of any kind."

Something just crossed my mind [the reason for writing this]. Could you use this as a method of transportation, let's say, for pure metals like gold? Like mining gold on an asteroid and send it back to Earth or to Moon first and then to Earth? Cause in vacuum the distance would be increased enormously respect to what Tesla said for using it within atmosphere. Or for some to mine gold on Earth and send it to a ship somewhere beyond our (private) observation capabilities? Atmosphere is dense only within a few km, if you build those on a mountain and point them upwards it would almost be like you use it in vacuum. Or use a relay in orbit.

The fact he has never done it is suspicious. Or maybe they started something in secret and are already using it.»

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_ray

Then while writing, i realized. Tesla invention has been materialized and there are dozens of those everywhere around the world! They are called particle accelerators! They use, (read below) gold or iron particles! they accelerate close to speed of light. I think with one of those installed on a high mountain, or from orbit, you can shoot gold all the way to Orion's Bellatrix (Bella Tricks), at 250 light years away. Alignment, confinement, target following? Leave it all to alien science and technology. Gold for devices, iron for structures.

"These investigations often involve collisions of heavy nuclei – of atoms like iron or gold – at energies of several GeV per nucleon. The largest such particle accelerator is the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory." (Right. They "investigated" for more than 70 years starting soon after death of "Tesla" and what did they come up with? Nothing. Maybe it helped advancements in microelectronics, but i doubt it.)

If those can be used as weapons here on Earth, as Tesla declared? Of course they can, but who needs weapons when their people genetically modified demented zombies are in any imaginable position of power on this planet?

The Belters are us.

Planet Google

How i started a history project and i ended into a geography/geology one. I was trying to gather some linguistic data using google earth, more precisely names of places around the known since Roman times Transylvanian huge gold resources nobody is talking about (anymore). Omerta.

It is known (by me) that Romans invaded Transylvania and adjacent parts of Dacia with the sole purpose of extracting the gold. Emperor Trajan financed two campaigns with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, a permanent stone bridge over Danube that ended in 164 years of occupation, and during that occupation they carried back to Rome some 200 tones of gold and many other goods every year, an era that started with suicide of Decebalus, the Dacian king, 123 days of celebration in Rome with erasing all debts or roman citizens to Fiscus (Roman style IRS). Since then all Roman economy was based on that gold, all they did was import, they got lazy and after the Goths allied with Free Dacians drove them out of Dacia, the Empire collapsed within a couple hundred years after attracting "barbarians" from all over the known world, searching for gold, from Scandinavia to Eastern China that started to pound at the gates of Rome until it fell. Here is a map showing the distribution of metals in Europe and then another one showing first migration known in history, the Indo European Migration.

Nowadays nobody will tell exactly how much gold is left in Transylvania.
 

But tonight i ran into some information i can't ignore and have to pass along to others.

A few weeks ago, maybe a month i started to browse for some free documentaries from the free streaming box i got from XFINITY (forgot the name sorry). And i saw one about the Universe. I watched it, an abundance of spectacular video effects and a Japanese presenter professor something.

Until i ran into some contradictions  that were too big for my curiosity and willingness to admire those visuals that i started to doubt with a frequency of once every ten seconds or so. The representation of black holes with the gravity lens effects while they (or the viewer) were moving across the Universe with other stars in the background. First. The black hole may be black but the event horizon surrounding them is not due to intense heat by friction of falling (cosmic) objects inside. If the swirl around the black hole known as accretion disk may be quasi bi-dimensional, like a solar system, the black hole itself will never look black even seen perpendicular on that disk because of intense radiation caused by the event horizon because of friction of all the elements just before entering it. And let's say the event horizon is less dense at the poles of the black holes, enough to make it appear black, or gray and blacker at the pole, but will they always present perpendicular to our point of view? Nothing like the also quasi bi-dimensional 3D presented galaxies scattered in images of the Universe? So i quit watching that, not before memorizing the way the heavier elements are produced in Universe. Collision of two neutron stars.

All the heavy metals on Earth including gold are coming from those and fell on Earth like asteroids.

There was a time in Earth's history when it didn't have water and asteroids were falling galore, and Earth was looking more like the Moon... The final phase of planet formation, when bigger and bigger chunks of rocks were added (falling due to gravity, already in place). Water came later, from comets, when the planet was cooled enough not to boil it, like on Venus.

Of course when those asteroids hit there was this smashing effect, due to speed, the asteroid, like we can see on the Moon, enters the planet and only some sort of crown of mountains remains. Like a drop of water falling on a water surface where we can see briefly a crown like structure which is temporary due to liquidity of water. According to this theory, the outer slopes of the crater will still have sedimentary composition, the inner would be mixed, and richest in metals would be center, under the deposits of sedimentary rock carried by water flows. And yes, volcanoes are the drops, whatever bubbles is left of the hot magma climbing up. Earthquake are thunderous freezing and thawing of bubbles of magma under influence of gravity of Sun and Moon and atmospheric air pressure.

So tonight i just started to work with web based Google Earth and centered it on the area of Romania where the gold is and tried to figure the names of places in several languages like Romanian, Latin, Sanskrit and then something else looking for linguistics clue for another project and like many times before i was looking at that map, it caught my eye: The Carpathian (Mountains) Basin is round. Could never figure out why. How can this this be explained by the Tectonics Plates theory. Solid plates that flow on semi-liquid magma bla bla that bump into each other at the point of collision of two opposite surface horizontal convection currents that turn vertical and sink to the bottom of Earth (at an excruciating speed of a few mm or cm a a year) to raise somewhere else etc. By plates bumping into each other mountains are created together with seismic areas. But there's got to be a limit of how narrow those magma currents are within the Earth. Can they be small enough to create an almost round relatively small, maybe 500 km diameter mountain chain? Then i remembered what i saw on TV about the gold (as all the other elements) being brought on Earth by asteroids. Most of it probably goes deep into the Earth at the impact, but some, mixed with "local" rock will stay at the surface and is found especially on the "crown" mountains, where there are no sedimentary deposits to cover it. Then i said to myself. What if the Carpathian Mountains were formed by the collision with such a gold and other heavy elements rich asteroid? But that would contradict all current theories about the formation of those mountains, however will not contradict my little theory about earthquakes. (You can distinguish the mountains in this image because they are dark green being covered with forests)

Then i said to myself. Can they be others? (by the rule: when there's one crater they will be one million). Bigger, smaller? Older? Partially wiped out by erosion and many other smaller ones, also visible on the map, that fell after? With northern rim made by Atlas Mountains in Morocco, the Pyrenees, Alps, Tatra, a branch of Carpathian Mountains, then whatever those mountains are in Turkey, on a circle that includes mountains in Africa, with center somewhere around Malta. Pretty much following  the distribution of metals seen in the map above from Wikipedia. 

Then i remembered, there are areas within Sahara desert (called basins) that are under the sea level, they were talks about cutting a canal, bringing water from Mediterranean Sea to form a sea in the desert, maybe change local climate, etc.. People forgot about those too. Could the Qattara depression, others, be proof that the crater existed.

How about frequency, there seem to be areas, like around Mediterranean Sea with more craters  than others. Maybe it has something to do with period rotation of Earth synced with some other cicles.
Then something else caught my eyes. The lines in the Sahara desert. There are all kinda lines in the desert reminding those seen on the bottom of the oceans, again, a novelty brought by Google Earth, but also... on the Moon. (not the borderlines like Madonna would say, of course).

How about the Hymalaians, don't they look to you like the southern rim of a crater, with signs of erosion on the right, and with the other rims eroded to the point they are not visible? Why the higher plateau? Maybe that asteroid came during a time when Earth was cooler?

Besides lines, on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean there is a crack, that may be indeed created by two parts of the crust moving apart from each other, with continents kinda matching rims, suggesting they were one single part sometime in the past. But could be aksi shaped like this (with matching coastal lines) because of erosion and the Coriolis effect on ocean currents, never heard anybody saying anything about except once when i casually met with Gabi, my mentor during HS.

However, the spectacular one. Same thing here, cracks on the bottom of the ocean. But forget about those. It's the lines that are interesting. There are two groups that seem to converge to two single points. Can't help but mention. The Pacific Ocean is huge, if you look at the planet from this direction, all you see is... sea sea sea. (Could it had been created maybe by the collision of proto-Earth with another planet, some billions years ago, when orbits of the planets and asteroids were still stabilizing going into the resonance with each other the way we know about today). Click on any image to enlarge it to see more detail.

Pretty similar to those seen on the Moon, that are obviously caused by rocks being thrown sideways after an impact.

 

I hope i may have suggested strongly enough how big is the amount of gold in Romania's mountains or even underground in the circular valley of Transylvania, and answered other questions but in the end i have one of myself. Could they have come this with "Tectonics Plate Theory" only to cover that and that includes lying about all Geology of Earth and one million other things. Who cares, most people are interested about their daily lives only.

Phoenix

Numele păsării este pomenit de Eminescu în Odă în metru antic. O pasăre mitică din Egiptul antic unde se numea Bennu, care revenea o dată la 500 de ani după ce renăștea din propria cenușă. Vedem o astfel de ciclicitate în istorie, unde am avut o... Renaștere acum 500 de ani, care este un sfert din ultimii două mii de ani ai erei începute cu Nașterea lui Iisus, 1000 de ani de la apariția statului Ungariei pe teritoriul Europei și aproximativ 1500 de ani de la căderea imperiului Roman care a primit una din ultimele lovituri de la hunii conduși de Attila.

Postarea asta este însă despre formația de rock Phoenix care a fost celebră în anii 70 în România. Nu știu dacă voi termina postarea acum în seara (dimineața) asta sau vreodată, doar știu că o încep. Unul din motive a fost că l-am ascultat zilele acestea pe Baniciu, o față și o voce familiară dintr-o altă existență paralelă. Adică am cunoscut pe cineva cu care am petrecut mult timp în copilărie care arăta la fel și avea o voce familiară, deși la școală era declarat afon. Mai era un vecin, mai mare ca noi, care seamănă cu basistul de atunci.

Baniciu de asemenea cântă cu accent recunoscut de mine ca bucovinean, mai precis de Câmpulung, iar multe din temele și ideile sale par a fi luate de acolo. Valea Seacă este un cartier în Câmpulung. Bucovina, poate mai mult ca orice provincie veche românească păstrează probabil cel mai mult caracterul antic dacic, și din cauză depărtării de partea ocupată de romani.

Alt motiv care s-a combinat cu primul și a declanșat această postare a fost însă o melodie a unei formații mult mai celebre care am ascultat-o chiar acum la radio și mi s-a părut că imită o melodie de-a lor.

Am ascultat cred cel puțin o dată, în treacăt, Cantafabule, 1975, "albumul lor cel mai definitoriu" și ultimul înainte de plecarea majorității membrilor în Germania, unde au scos un disc ce seamănă mai mult cu un disc scos de Dracula Band, cel puțin la copertă, fiindcă nu am avut timp și nici tragere să ascult piesele. Am răsfoit puțin albumul Cantafabule, un album ambițios lung și cu de toate, de la folk progresiv până la un fel de proto-metal, la care probabil au contribuit mulți în afara celor 6 și am comparat cu ce am citit pe un site de folk progresiv, unde se pare că sunt încadrați de istoricii improvizați ai muzicii, din care primii și cei mai vocali sunt normal români.

Restul melodiilor, mult mai cunoscute și mai bune decât albumul, normal le-am ascultat la radio ca toată lumea, deși de unele nici nu știam că sunt Phoenix.

Contrar ce am mai citit acolo, pe forum, au făcut abuz de Moog, un instrument nou și fascinant, mai ales în primele piese, ceea ce le făcea greu de ascultat (chiar acum îmi amintesc) pentru o audiență mai largă decât niște entuziaști. O piesă mai melodică ce confirmă inspirația egipteană a numelui formației. Scara Scarabeus, ce pomenește de discul solar și amintește de o altă melodie de-a lor, Te întreb pe tine soare, scoasă cu doi ani mai înainte. Trebuie să amintim aici etimologia cuvântului scârbă din românește, care vine de la gângania pomenită acolo, dar poate și de cea mai celebră copertă, cea a formației Beatles, al cărui nume însuși este un elogiu al aceluiași vechi și frumos colorat dintre gândaci (beetles), având în centru bateria pe post de simbol solar sau gong. Bineînțeles totul are ceva de-a face cu tema dacică și ruina solară de la Sarmizegetusa, însă astăzi eu știu că egiptenii, deși provin de pe teritoriul Dunării de Jos, au plecat (migrat) în Egipt înainte de venirea dacilor, în jur de -3500, să construiască o piramidă în centrul geografic al lumii. Ambiții din epoca de piatră și tărâmul de aur.

Deci ce am auzit în seara asta la radio. Formația Steve Miller Band cu... Swing Town, 1977.

Deși nu e prima dată când mi s-a părut familiară melodia, și chiar că seamănă cu una de Phoenix, nu aș fi crezut vreodată că o să ajung să fac această comparație, pe o postare de blog. Mugur de Fluier, 1973. Dar s-au adunat mai multe motive și iată că o fac. Internetul cu posibilitățile sale, de la căutări ce altă dată ar fi însemnat luni de muncă în vreo două-trei ore, până la publicarea instant, cu tot cu material audio comparativ în fața oricui are un device, ceva. Ceva ce ar fi părut imposibil până acum câțiva ani, iar unora încă li se mai pare magie.

Ascultând de mai multe ori aceste piese mintea m-a dus imediat la o melodie favorită de-a mea, You are the Woman, Firefall, 1976. 
Și am rămas puțin pe gânduri după care mi-am amintit de Jethro Tull (tot din forum) și m-am dus la albumul lor definitoriu unde m-am oprit la piesa My God (1969). Poza de pe copertă este a unui boschetar din Londra.

După care am mers să mai ascult o melodie, nu mai știu a câta din albumul lui Phoenix. Aia cu șarpele.

Nu e vorba neapărat de plagiat, dar de ceva normal în lumea artelor. Influențe, confluențe, tributar. Toți se nasc unul din altul, după cum am mai spus. Dorința de a fi pe trend, pe val, dorința de a nu fi în afara valului, uneori lipsa de idei mai bune, rețete sau chiar comoditatea.

White Snake, profețit mai sus de Phoenix al nostru, tot un fel de proto-metalist, care prin anii 90 dat însă în pop-rock și chiar avut succes cu o piesă, a inclus în albumul său de debut o piesă de... Beatles.

O melodie care, nu știu de ce, îmi amintește de

o formație de pop rock din Germania.

Credeam că am terminat când mi-a venit încă o idee. Melodia asta, pe care o consider "a message for the future".

"Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Don't spend your life in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun"
