Sleepy Head, Elaborate Trap

It was a trap.

Amazon let the package with the brake pads i ordered 2 days ago in front of the door sometimes before noon.

Last night i fell asleep late (around 2 and woke up at 6). Then i fell asleep again from 9 to noon. Some noise, maybe the knock on the door that i didn't hear consciously (didn't remember when i awoke) must have awakened me. I was still sleepy when i checked on Angela's computer and saw the order was delivered and opened the door and found the package. Got mad before i was completely awaken after i saw the seal was unglued at one end. Stuck my hand trying to see if i could remove one of the pads. I broke the label a bit in the process.

They were two boxes inside, one with rear brake pads and one with front. I was able to pull a pad (from the front). I am sure a woman or a kid with a small hand could have removed and replaced one or several pads from that box without breaking that label. I don't know if they did it, the pads appear undamaged. It looks like they have a lot of graphite cause my hands got black from handling them and chunks of copper are also visible which means they are the metal type.

At least i saw where the piece of metal that warns you is. At around 2 mm. It is supposed to make a high pitch sound when they worn to that level. Mine have at least 2 more mm above that level. But only two of the four pads (or half of them) have that.

One of the 8 pads on our car, on rear right wheel is metal on metal. Must be one without the the indicator cause i only heard a low freq squeaking sound when it was too late. Which means caliper got stuck on the pins. I also saw some white stains like from drops of something on that caliper. Could that have been since i went to Canyonville and i saw some stains with colored material on the freeway, different colors over several miles. But it would have taken at least 10k or more for that pad to wear that much since the caliper got stuck. Now i remember the brakes were making a low freq noise sometimes when backing from the spot in the parking lot, from since i got the car. Could had been the same stuff that was on the windshield and corroded the paint on the hood probably not long before i got the car. The idea to take first picture came to me after i stuck my hand the first time but before i pulled the pad. The next one after i pulled the pad.
There seems to be a superficial scratch on the upper left pad. Maybe when i puled it from the box.


It is not secret i'm watching the market after i do something. As i said before, i think there is a correlation that is so strong it cannot be a coincidence. Every time i say something right market goes down, every time i get screwed up, the market goes up.

Am i correct if i characterize today's session as choppy? Going up and down 2% within minutes, several times a day that is. Could this have anything to do with economy and coronavirus? Last time it went up at 3:44 eastern time was after i first posted on fb what i thought it happened regarding my Amazon delivery.

Ok i just figured what happened. Last night we ran across some stupid page that shows 40 incredible uses of WD40. One of them was removing labels, other was cleaning the fridge. An idea came to me. I poured a tiny amount of WD40 in the wall that stinks and covered the hole My idea was maybe it would cover the dog stink. Around 2 AM or just before i went to bed i noticed it was smelling inside like WD40 every time the fridge started. So i went and looked an found a place with cracked paint and with a dental probe i discovered a new through hole, on top of the fridge on the left side of the cabinet next to many others i covered in the past. You could not possible use WD40 to remove a seal or label from a cardboard box cause it contains up to 35% heavy penetrant mineral oil which would have irreversibly stained the cardboard. It is true it might help you to remove labels but not from cardboard and you will destroy the label in the process. I think the seal above was removed from cardboard with steam then it was let to dry. Or maybe the glue was softened with a hair drier. The stains seen on the box are parallel glue traces with regular shapes.
.
There is a reason why the're calling it Kabbalah.

70 miles, 3 Useless Hours in Traffic

Winter is over. Hottest day of the year so far. Got to spend two hours of a gorgeous weather in traffic. I would otherwise have stayed at home and didn't see it.

This afternoon i went again to the junkyard to try and get a spare wheel/tire. That is exchange the wrong one i got. Couldn't find the receipt (i keep all receipts for all the years i've been here). In there a bearded guy who look familiar let me in to try and find an different one. But for that i had to sign on a sheet of paper with many other signatures.

Couldn't find one in time. Tried to get back home before Angela got here (got a sign at the door, she ignores it). The guy at the counter dragged me into a long conversation when i left. Asked him if he could give me in store credit for the wheel, he said no without receipt. Got behind a slowing moving vehicle on long Sherwood st and got here right after she came. Could have stayed more at the junkyard and measure wheels. Though only when i left i figured how. Wheel diameter is not the biggest diameter you can measure but one inch smaller. Don't know why.

Inside the junkyard. Sexy models walking on alleys while guys where showing in the same ling of sight. I heard a woman yelling in a conversation on the phone or with someone else. "Money first!".

Earlier i spoke with a guy at Les Schwab i knew since 97. He was ambiguous about possibility of swapping the one i got, he said i got to talk to the supervisor, put me through but nobody came at the phone for several minutes so i just hanged up.

So after coming from junkyard i took Angela's car and just went there. Don't know, 20 miles or so. Took the long way on 26. Right when i wanted to get out of the complex, a young woman with a tan Volvo coming from right entered the alley unexpectedly, haven't seen her due to a complex traffic situation. Had to hit brakes to avoid her. Again the extra wide and long windshield pillar played a role. (Not my car in the picture, but similar).

Got there only to see he went home early. Talked to a young guy who ran to my trunk and grabbed one my grocery cardboard boxes (got two to avoid groceries rolling around the trunk) before i had a chance to pull myself the spare wheel to show it to him.

Said they cannot accept those, only if i wanted to buy a full size wheel which would cost me more than on Amazon.

Asked him if they where any red light cameras on 185 where i came from, he said probably not. Got into a long conversation with him about legality of red light cameras. BTW i think they are not legal since only cops can issue tickets, not out of state contractors. I noticed he was talking faster and faster until i could not catch up with him in conversation.

Came back home, i knew at that hour 217 was very slow and i tried 26 and I5. Haven't seen a map of the area in while, have never been on that route at rush hour in the last 10 years maybe, now i realize it was stupid, especially that it was so slow. The only place where it got faster was at the Terwilliger curves, most dangerous curves on I5, and after.

Last night i figured there might be too much oil in the catch can and at bumps and sudden maneuvers it can just splash in the intake pipe. I pulled 2 ounces of oil or more with a 5 dollar garden pump i got from Walmart for this purpose.

Car never drove this smoothly, either because of that or because i torqued the wheels correctly yesterday after the guys at Les Schwab in 217 and 99 missed to torque one nut per each wheel two days ago.

Cadet Heaters and the Mystery of the Howling Dog

I don't believe it exists a company with more health damaging power per size than Cadet Heating Company of Vancouver, WA.

They manufacture heaters mainly for apartments.


Small, cheap, they are great for landlords. Here are some of the health hazards that those heaters pose.

The ones with forced heat, have a hot resistor and a fan. The resistor's temperature is close to red hot. If the fan would stop, the resistor will glow. Made of high chromium and nickel alloys, they in time evaporate (resistor gets visible thinner in areas blown by fan before finally breaking). As a result, you get to breath heavy metals, a situation very similar with when vaping (the resistor, made of a similar alloy, is a consumable). Besides they burn whatever dust gets sucked in by the fan.

Easily installable inside the wall, that is you cut with a box cutter a rectangle in the inner wall  (usually 3/8-1/2 inch soft drywall) next to a stud and nail the d... thing on the stud with a couple of nails using one of the pre existing holes in the thin sheet metal. However the box have like maybe 20 holes for different installation position that remain open. Thus the fan also sucks "air" from inside wall and blow it inside. Could it be mineral insulation breakage or simply dust fallen from the apartment above from the space between wall and floor. Vibration from high rpm unbalanced fan helps shake and brake the insulation inside the wall.


In my case, litter dust.

I was intrigued yesterday by a howling dog in the neighborhood.

I don't use those. I covered the grills with tape. Instead i got some even cheaper heaters from Fry's. Of Italian design, they are the best. Low temperature convection heaters with oil inside and covered with ceramic. I move them around in places where the floor bulges to help dry it faster.

The neighbor upstairs use them. Actually only one. The one in the kitchen. Because of that it runs almost all the time, per thermostat.

Two days ago i saw some imperfection in the way i taped the grill for the heater in the same position or below hers. Small gaps, etc.. I removed the tape to put some new. Done something else in the meantime, forgot about, i re-taped it several hours later.

It was only last night, after more that 24 hours that i realized what happened. Though i covered most virtual nail holes inside the black box, there must be gaps cause without tape the whole place started to stink again like the litter dust that is still abundant in the wall since last summer's neighbors.

Face burning, dog stinking, it must have triggered the senses of the dog in the apartment at the other entrance.

Today i opened the back sliding door again and the dog started to howl again. Tilted the fridge, washed it under, mopped the floor, yada yada.

Modern Interpretation of Wadjet

REX NON POTEST PECCARE

Re-edited April 08 2020.

«In the linear, global, historiographical approach, modern history (the "modern period," the "modern era," "modern times") is the history of the period following post-classical history (in Europe known as the "Middle Ages"), spanning from about 1500 to the present.»

According to the site oldest.org, The United States is the first democracy of the modern world, because it started in 1788.

Many of the principles of the previous oldest democracy according to the same site linked above have been simply transferred. One of them was the principle of sovereign immunity.

As a result some of the attributes and privileges of the King from British Constitution have been transferred to the president. One of them is the power of pardon.

However, presidential elections had to be invented. Due to vastness of country, the great distances and lack of means of communication at the time when they where first held campaigns still last 384 days and they still do so. A very complicated process that few understand. With existent "modern" communications, US election system is now outdated. Nominations are mixed with elections. «The presidential primary elections and caucuses held in the various states, the District of Columbia, and territories of the United States form part of the nominating process of candidates for United States presidential elections

Some of the issues with elections being such a lengthy process is... well, people can change their mind. After one year, people who voted for one candidate in one of the first states during primaries may wish to have voted with another! Some die, some come to voting age. Primaries not being held simultaneously in different states, results in the one state voting may influence the next one.

But in the end the weirdest part is people who are not registered with the only two parties get to choose from only the two "remaining" candidates after primaries.

In most modern European countries campaigns length varies but do not have an official time frame, state does not get involved in nominations and elections themselves last at most a couple of weeks, in one or two rounds. In the first round participate all candidates that have gathered a number of signatures and if none obtained 50% of the votes the first two go in the second round.

In France by example, primaries are still held within the big parties (to avoid of course having more than one candidate) while anybody can candidate if they can gather more than 500 signatures.

But there are other aspects regarding this lengthy process that imitates... a sports championship? Candidates during debates eliminate each other in debates from state to state. The rise of a new occupations.

The professional candidate. Today's drop of Bernie Sanders reminded of this. He was a candidate for many years. With him, there go away some of the best ideas i ever hard of which some maybe would have been survived in other forms with other candidates. I call him "an issue killer". Here is another example:

"Harold Stassen is perhaps the most famous and distinguished perennial presidential candidate in U.S. history, along with Ralph Nader. A one-time governor of Minnesota and former president of the University of Pennsylvania, he ran for the Republican nomination for president nine times between 1944 and 1992."

The protesting candidate.

"Pat Paulsen, a comedian best known for his appearances on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, first ran for president in 1968 as both a joke and a protest. He ran again in 1972 and in succeeding elections until 1996, one year prior to his death."

Another consequence is US cannot hold what is called in other states "snap elections". Something that by example in the UK has happened 3 times within last 5 years.

The age old questions about American elections. Can a (still sponsored) "independent" candidate win against one backed by one of the two major parties? I don't think it ever happened. The reason. The same one year long campaign. Only those having a big party to back them up can afford the costs to the end. Traveling campaign tradition these days implies huge campaign teams with big expenses. I think, if we say there are 20 candidates with 500 staff on average, there are  up to a total of 100.000 people employed by the elections. To those we need to add local organizers and why not, people employed by media to cover each event.

Writers (not mentioned in the article), communication director. Speeches are read by candidates from prompters. The issue of how their donors and volunteers are going to be of course repaid, if.

"A communications director who oversees the entirety of the campaign's messaging, message planning, media relations, and the whole communications staff."

The alternative, a one month long campaign with debates, with two election rounds within 2 weeks would allow way more candidates to participate in the first round, less one year long distraction and fewer illusions because anybody knew from a long time ago Sanders will not going to go into the finals.

And the issue of the campaigning president. Isn't 384 days campaign too big of a distraction for the current president.

McNeeley Real Estate

Name says a lot. For many years i used to believe it has something to do with kneels. Makes you kneel that is. I know one guy there. Mark Hessel. And there was another woman i spoke with in the agency, short, fat, looking Japanese.

 
In January 2010 we've been kicked from Sussex. There was a guy there Kaleb whom i knew only by seeing him and seeing his name on the mailbox.

At Sussex there was an episode that just came to mind. The 2002 Seattle earthquake. There was a handyman scheduled exactly at that time in the apartment. He went outside to pick something from his Volvo, i went to the door to see what he's doing. Then the earthquake started, a series of ample movement, i stood in the door frame when i heard somebody running on the roof. I looked at the handyman while he was staring the roof.

There was a broken pipe in the wall in there that got never fixed. Every time i was opening the water at the bathroom sink, a pipe was moving in the wall. Probably leaking in the wall and making mold.

While i was there at first i was not aware of the mineral insulation problem. After, or when when i realized the attic was full with loose mineral insulation, i taped the lid to the attic so it won't fall down at least through there.

There was this guy with a red Toyota Supra i guess who looked like a South American drug dealer who was showing from time to time, pretending living there. La Tuta i guess.

Christine McVie, Carole King acting like managers. John Winquist, owner of Regent, the management company i think is a now Hungarian top politician.

Across the street, BNC. A church that looks like an UFO.

And Tom Cruise, the mechanic.

That's all about Sussex, here and now.

So we've been looking for a place to move. Actually applied in two different places. One Saturday in February they called us from Sunflower Apts, i believe we were approved there too but for some reason i can't explain right now none of us wanted to answer the phone. Monday (hopefully i will come with the date, it think it was February 2010) i had appointment with Mark from McNeeley, i went at the apartment in Lake Oswego and signed the papers. As we climbed in the truck to go in Lake Oswego they called us again from Sunflower and told us we were approved but i already made my mind. I was moving to Lake Oswego. Rent was about similar but location, one of the best in Portland area. Not knowing it was actually on the top of an extinct volcano.

Don't know what was wrong with me in that day. I didn't feel the terrible stink in there. Maybe because window was open. Maybe i was hypnotized (to us, Mark appeared like he had severe strabismus (not seen in the picture above). All i saw was the view, the pool (which Mark told us wasn't "ours", the apartment was the only one rented in the building, the others were individually owned condos). The place was a dump. I will select some pictures. The pan of the fridge filled with some sort of glue that resulted from combination of asphalt and silica from roof shingles. Hardwood floor was stinking so bad from being contaminated with that stuff and food that i had to cover it with shelf liners.

The rusty, leaking toilet, discoloration of the vynil.

Everything was leaking under the kitchen sink

And the endless hole.

There are many other things to be said about that place before i start getting to the reason for this post. But before, a word about Apt.9 or next door. There were a couple of celebrities that were showing as Anna, the young single neighbor. One of them was Kelly Clarkson.

And the guy at Apt.2 (two levels down) who looked like Jinichi Kawakami posing for a young single guy who was never cleaning and smoking the stinkiest cigarettes (natural tobaco, not treated for burning faster like most brands). There i found out for the first time of the existence of ninja dojos in the US.

The woman who lived at nr.6 (right under) left after one week (came back at times). I forgot where she said she was moving. The apartment was vacated for a long time, more that a year. Then the short old man with the green van moved in. He lived there for about 6 months. On June 6 2011 i took this picture.
And this one on July 2nd the same year.

I think he left in September that year. That was after they poured asphalt on street. Because the day after he dragged me into a short conversation.

What was about him. As you can see from the first picture he was handling some high tech tools. Sometimes at night i head what i though him was chiseling, maybe the walls.

After him i remember Christina Minnis moving in there. Found the name on a site that gives you names of neighbors and googled and found this.

She was wanted in Texas for some minor offenses and she found shelter here. However, she was living in that dump with a guy (i forgot his name now), black, who was working for a British company, somewhere in Downtown Portland.

She found a job here in Portland at David Killer Bread. I remember the day when Dave Dahl, the owner, was arrested. A few days later they started the bathroom fan downstairs and was on until December 2014.

They had a dog probably she dog, probably sick cause it was actually crying every they after they left in the morning.

Story is much longer. To make it short, today i figured the purpose for that fan to be on for so long was to pump in the floor (or their ceiling) and into our apartment the same stuff they pump in here for more than a year now or since i heard upstairs the same chiseling sound, December 2019 and then i heard the dog making the same crying sound as the one down stairs more than 6 years ago. That is litter dust. When those neighbors moved in spring, i saw the woman carrying a small dog in a pouch at her chest, like a baby. Both dogs were probably sick, probably infected with some parasite that eliminates in the feces and ended up in the dust that gets in here, that gives me the same symptoms and probably.

This summer upstairs moved a woman who looked like a Japanese actress. They also had a dog and they had a portable AC in the kitchen area vibrating the walls and floors and allowing litter dust to get into the walls and from there in here. The current neighbor does not have a dog but a cat and uses only one "in wall" heater, in the dining area or about the same area where the AC was and for that reason (the others are off) it runs a lot, that also vibrates, in about the same area.

Last night i covered more holes and cracks in the laundry closet area because after cleaning for many days it started to stink after i used the washer and drier yesterday which shook the walls and more stuff came in. But i believe somebody was in here last night and took out of the sealed bag an old injector (forgotten from Nissan) that today started to stink to mask the hole story.

Both stinking places are responsible for creating and maintaining my diabetes.

The woman at Apt.9 driving a blue Jeep reminds me now of Christa Jacobson. After her in that apartment moved in a guy who resembled Andrei Postelnicu whom i saw last time the day before he went missing in Florida. In the spring of 2014 i believe Bill Cosby moved in there.

The apartment nr.7, next wall, slightly below, had a chimney. I believe this is where the smoke came from. When i moved in here the smoke didn't get out of our clothes until i washed them at least 5 times each. I believe in there at times was a woman from Hungary, Nora Gorbe.

I once called Lake Oswego Police. The guy who came, Sergeant Sparkle, was looking exactly like the President of Hungary, János Áder.

One more thing. The more i look at Jim McNeeley's face the more i think he looks like the old man who moved lately at Sussex in the apartment under. I don't know, it's been more than ten years. I think it was around 2007 when he came. He parked some sort of old RV vehicle and had it parked there for a long time. Then he got an old car. Lately he put a blanket in kitchen's window and i think he was not airing and cleaning a lot and the whole place started to stink.
To be continued (having a break).

Stealing in - What?

...work in progress...
In Thought ... (3020466221).jpg
I bet this is what this "thinking chimpanzee" from Wikipedia is thinking about. Is Ninjutsu a real thing?

Since they have at least one manual published on paper and on internet, and dojos accross the US, it must be real.

But let's first try to analyze two different expressions from Japanese language. 忍者 = shinobi no mono (ninja) and 神心神眼 = shin shin shin gan.

Here is the common translation of these expressions with Google Translate. And here is the answer to a lucky google search which will let me to later pass to the second one. The syntagm 忍者 can be read or pronounced in two different ways. Shinobi no mono and ninja. In the two expressions the transliteration shin or shinobi appears 3 times represented with 3 different kanji and having 3 different meanings each time. Trying to emphasize here the closenes of pronounciation of the kanji 忍 (shinobi), 神 (shin = God or deity) and 心 (shin = heart which separately pronounces kokoro, note a strange resemblance with some latin languages).

I've been also lucky enough to find and "steal in" an online pdf version of the Bansenshukai, the manual i was talking about. Title is translated as "The Book of Ninja". In the manual the expression "steal in" appears 14 times. The expression "stealing in" appears 5 times and the word oral (from kuden or oral traditions appears 247 times).

At page 31 of the pdf in the Introductory Notes of this book there is a reference to Chapter I, Correct Mind that says "a soft and weak person will become hard and strong, an evil-minded person will become loyal and a stupid person will become wise. With justice, courage and wisdom, there is no way you cannot ‘steal in’.

Beyond the obvious contradiction within the phrase itself, this is a good example of what ninjutsu is all about. "Stealing in", or infiltrating. But there is also a whole chapter named "Art of lock picking" which actually teaches you the old art of entering and breaking or physical stealing, mostly documents and other important objects.

Since i'm here i also should mention, by looking at the Content of the book, the existence of three chapters about "open disguise" which are believe are at the basis of what we see today about all public persons in all countries being actually ninja and also 5 chapters on infiltration.

I lost most of the day and all the inspiration trying to find a workaround about a bug or a protection within the pdf file so i can put links to pages (could not link to comments) and i've also been lucky to find that by chance.

There are a number of active school of ninjutsu. Of them one is Togakure-ryū (School of the Hidden Door, the name is suggestive, i think by personal experiences, no door can stand between you and yout guarding ninjas). One of the main purposes declared in the Wikipedia page of this school of ninja is achieving 神心神眼 = shin shin shin gan, literally God's eye and mind.

What is that. From the same personal experiences, is a way of picking your opponent's or subject's emotions, from a distance or from behind a wall and with combining with knowing his actions in every minute learn to know him so intimately that at some point you can actually know him better than himself and/or predict and/or heavily influence his thoughts and actions. I think it can go all the way to a point where i believe we can start calling this... Stealing one's mind. For what purpose. Obviously for using him for stealing others' minds.

Mărirea alocațiilor, pe ordinea de zi

Încă jumătate de oră în labirinturile kafkiene ale site-ul Camerei Deputaților și Senatului și în hățișurile luptei intestine inter-partinice pe urma legilor și ordonanțelor în legătură cu dublarea alocației. Între timp pasărea Spin a început să cânte și-a intrat în drepturi vestind primăvara, vara, nu știu, va vesti câteva luni de acum înainte, ceea ce face aproape imposibil să mă gândesc la ceva.

Anul trecut pe 19 decembrie Parlamentul a aprobat o lege care a fost promulgată de Iohannis pe 14 ianuarie. În aceeași zi a fost introdus la Camera Deputaților proiectul Legii Bugetului de Stat pe 2020 al Guvernului Orban. În anexa 3, punctul 20 putem vedea bugetul Ministerului Muncii, ca parte integrantă din Bugetul de Stat. La pagina 32 la "Asistența sociala pentru familie și copii" este prevăzută suma de 12.938.206.000 lei. Dacă împărțim această sumă la 3,6 milioane de copii (câți sunt în România sub 18 ani, conform Strategiei Bugetare Fiscale a Guvernului) și la 12 luni aflăm exact suma de 300 de lei. De remarcat, din aceeași pagină 32, că o sumă asemănătoare a fost alocată și "preliminată" pe 2019, deși alocațiile au fost 150 de lei, începând din martie.

Ok, a dat norocul peste mine și pasărea Spin a încetat. Deși au trecut atâția ani de când o aud, nu reușesc să-mi amintesc dacă anii trecuți a început progresiv, câte jumătate de oră pe zi și a ajuns la peste 8 ore când s-a încălzit mai bine (de fapt erau cam 2-3 grade C și întunerec când a început).

Înapoi în labirint. Pe 16 ianuarie vine Orban și trântește o ordonanță pentru a încerca să amâne aplicarea acestei legi, și vă las pe dvs. să trageți concluziile în legătură cu scopul acestei ordonanțe. (Continuarea genocidului împotriva poporului român și implementarea "viziunii" conducătorilor României, de pe aceeași pagină 157 din Strategie prin reducerea populației prin descurajarea nașterilor). Aflăm textul acestei ordonanțe din link-ul de pe fișa actului pe pagina Senatului (Apăsați pe L2/2020).

Ordonanța începe cu argumentul "Având în vedere necesitatea încadrării in limita de deficit bugetar, instituita prin reglementari europene (Sistemului European de Conturi - deficit ESA), care nu trebuie sa depășească 3% din PIB"

Cu toate acestea în aceeași Strategie amintită mai sus (la pagina 7 din pdf) este scris că deficitul în anul 2020 va fi 3,39%. Nu pot să nu spun aici că din calculele mele folosind datele din Legile Bugetului, deficitul depășește 5%. Însă datele din aceste anexe sunt aberante, cu niște cheltuieli fantastice la unele ministere (Agricultură, Transporturi, Muncii, altele) totalizând sute de miliarde care nu știe nimeni unde se duc.

Aflu acum că nu pot pune link la o pagină de pe site-ul Senatului cu procesul legislativ al unei legi. Singurul mod e să apăsați pe L2/2020 care se află pe pagina deschisă de ultimul link de mai sus.

Ce se află mai interesant pe această pagină. Un termen pentru primarea raportului de la Comisia de Muncă. (Clic pe poză pentru a o mări).
Astăzi am reușit să aflu numărul Procesului Legislativ PL-x 10/2020 pentru aceeași lege care a ajuns, după ce a fost respinsă de Senat, în Camera Deputaților. Printr-o căutare google.

Legea se află în stadiul trimiterii la Comisia Pentru Muncă. De data asta nu avem nici un termen. De aceea legea se află pe ordinea de zi a Camerei Deputaților de cel puțin 2 zile (am văzut-o și ieri). Se așteaptă acel raport.

Cel puțin pentru mine aici la capătul lumii pagina cu ordinea de zi a Camerei Deputaților îmi intră foarte greu. De aceea am încărcat versiunea pdf a ordinii de zi pe contul meu gratuit de google.

Iată cum arată raportul pentru legea precedentă, pe care Orban a încercat s-o amâne prin Ordonanța 2/2020. Probabil similar ca nivel de complexitate cu raportul pe care Camera Deputaților îl așteaptă în fiecare zi cu legea pe ordinea de zi. Zilele astea, cândva, vom vedea pentru ce așteaptă 3,6 milioane de copii.

Take it Down

I took my love, I took it down

I climbed a mountain and I turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills

'Till the landslide brought me down


Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?


Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?

Can I handle the seasons of my life?


Well, I've been afraid of changing

'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older

And I'm getting older too


Well, I've been afraid of changing

'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older

And I'm getting older too

Oh, I'm getting older too


Oh, take my love, take it down

Oh, climb a mountain and turn around

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Well the landslide will bring it down

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Well the landslide will bring it down, oh oh

The landslide will bring it down

Templars

Normally i would wait to refine more these ideas but i believe many are asking themselves right now the same questions and also i want to release some of the emotion that is chocking me right now respect to what if found out today.

Following is what i know so far and i will keep in mind when i start digging or maybe find something accidentally while searching for something else which happens a lot online.

Templars are not realy masons but associated with Freemasonry and are said to be a fraternal and military organization (this reminds me of SEAORG, a branch of Scientology).

https://www.google.com/search?q=termplars+are+masons

De Molay, as i first thought when i first heard the name pronounced, before seeing it written, suggests demolition or the opposite of building as the masons claim to be (re-builders of the Universe, whatever, but in oder to rebuild you have to demolish first, right?). There is an association of De Molay with the skull and bones. Which brings to for comparing with Hindu Godess Kali and also the cycle of destruction/creation or death/rebirth present in most religions.
Word temple has dual meaning, both as Solomon's Temple and part of human skull. (Note here first mentions of Freemasonry in China are way older than the Temple of Solomon).

It appears there is more than a linguistic connection between the esoteric practices of Kabbalah and Kapala and ancient Egyptian word Ka (soul). How about the sanskrit noun kapata, which is usually associated with the result of any traveling magic show?

De Molay was burnt at the stake suggesting he was at least been suspected of sorcery.

Or so goes the legend, to keep the "brothers" motivated to do what they did, at least until the French Revolution, execution of Louis XVI.

If so, could it have had anything to do with this

VMOILITVM?

Once or twice in my life i was warned about the Templars but, for some reason, kept ignoring them.

Wouldn't have known about kapala if it wasn't for Japanese kappa resembling a turtle (the back of a turtle bears a resemblance with a human skull or kapala). Kappa plays an important role in Japanese mithyology.


Anticipația la români (în stil pur dianescian)

Motio: I may be dumb but i'm not stupid.

După un guvern și una moțiune per annum, două suspendări cu referendum per kapala de un președinte, multe schelălăieli per Ponta, somnul veșnic al lui Căcărău și venirea Dăncilei, ce variație a circului Budarest de pe malurile Dumboviței putea să mai impresioneze decât niște alegeri anticipate. Adică înainte de termenul de 4 ani care se împlinește la iarnă (faza îmi amintește de impeachemt-ul lui Trump aproape de sfârșit de mandat). Cu vreo 6 luni înainte,

În sfârșit, o mult anticipată încordare a mușchiului prezidențial pe un exercițiu constituțional pe care nici un președinte de până acum nu l-a mai încercat, sunt sigur că va putea atrage sau distrage atenția publicului prea iubitor de circ de la subiectul bugetului îndoit, va face să curgă mulți biți pe canalele de fibră optică ale lui Gugalanna și degaja multă căldură din creierele deja prea încălzite de multele bunăciuni de la meteo, horoscop și chiar de la știri și-i va face pe români să uite mereu de salariul lor îndoit care rămâne la dispoziția scamatorilor, parte obligatorie, integrantă din circ, împreună cu clovnii și saltimbancii.

Ce l-a făcut pe Iohannis să nu vină cu un candidat liberal acum 2 sau 3 guverne pentru a declanșa anticipate? Răspunsul ar fi, s-a bucurat la coabitare, timpul a trecut, bugetul s-a dus pe apa sâmbetei.

ARTICOLUL 89

(1) După consultarea preşedinţilor celor două Camere şi a liderilor grupurilor parlamentare, Preşedintele României poate să dizolve Parlamentul, dacă acesta nu a acordat votul de încredere pentru formarea Guvernului în termen de 60 de zile de la prima solicitare şi numai după respingerea a cel puţin două solicitări de învestitură.

(2) În cursul unui an, Parlamentul poate fi dizolvat o singură dată.

(3) Parlamentul nu poate fi dizolvat în ultimele 6 luni ale mandatului Preşedintelui României şi nici în timpul stării de mobilizare, de război, de asediu sau de urgenţă.


Dar eu sunt sigur că, după ce toată confuzia și discuțiile vor fi trecut, adică după 120 de zile, timp în care România nu va avea guvern, nu că ar fi mare diferență (de aceea au dat acum o căruță de ordonanțe să ajungă până atunci), oricâți noi atleți ai legilor vor fi aleși din neghină pentru a fi plantați în scaunele moi din cea mai mare sală din partea ocupată a Palatului Parlamentului, bugetul, nevoile vor fi mereu aceleași, crescătoare de la an la an și fără mult sens contabil sau chiar bun simț.

PSD, Ciolacu (vă gândiți și dvs la ce mă gândesc eu de câte ori aud, văd numele acesta), ar avea avea bineînțeles un mod să evite toate acestea,... aprobând guvernul Orban 2!, care și-ar da iar demisia a doua zi etc. ceea ce demonstrează că aceste anticipate forțate nu se pot declanșa fără ajutorul PSD (blat).

Da, știu PSD nu are majoritate absolută dar... oare PNL ar vota împotriva propriului candidat?

Ceea ce mă face să mă gândesc. Oare cine a scris și votat Constituția s-a gândit ca prin articolul 89 să-i dea unui președinte de rea credință un instrument să dizolve Parlamentul când vrea el sau doar a vrut să rezolve o situație fără ieșire? Adică este în spiritul Constituției ca Președintele să abuzeze acest articol numind la nesfârșit același Prim Ministru?

...

Și dacă tot veni vorba de exerciții constituționale, eu vă propun spre meditație o temă pentru acasă, serioasă. Are sau nu are Președintele României drept de veto?

ARTICOLUL 77

(1) Legea se trimite, spre promulgare, Preşedintelui României. Promulgarea legii se face în termen de cel mult 20 de zile de la primire.

(2) Înainte de promulgare, Preşedintele poate cere Parlamentului, o singură dată, reexaminarea legii.

(3) Dacă Preşedintele a cerut reexaminarea legii ori dacă s-a cerut verificarea constituţionalităţii ei, promulgarea legii se face în cel mult 10 zile de la primirea legii adoptate după reexaminare sau de la primirea deciziei Curţii Constituţionale, prin care i s-a confirmat constituţionalitatea.


O singură dată, reexaminarea legii. Adică doar așa să o re-citească (după ce au dezbătut și votat și comisii luni de zile) și să i-o trimită înapoi? Asta ar goli de sens acest alineat din Constituție. Parlamentarii ar trebui așa de dragul logicii constituționale să modifice ceva din lege, un punct, o virgulă înainte de a i-o trimite înapoi însă noi știm de acum că o virgulă poate să modifice unul din sensurile unei fraze. Ceea ce ar face ca legea să nu mai fie aceeași ce a fost trimisă prima dată spre promulgare. Ceea ce i-ar permite Președintelui să o trimită iar înapoi în Parlament pentru re-examinare, nu?

The Orb of the Brainwashed

I have a big mold problem in here. I said it many times about but nobody is believing me. There are some pipes in the basement that are caring vapor from laundry dries. Don't know why they had to choose this solution, my drier is inches away from the outside wall but the pipe goes into an inner wall then down in the basement and from there it opens right under the siding, breaking a number of building codes.

The flexible 4 inch pipes are leaking or broken. In April this year they were working at the siding (SAGE construction, remember) and i took advantage of the open lid, one night went inside the basement, took some pictures and fixed some of the leaks. Some of the pipes, especially the fallen one were partially filled with lint. In two weeks maintenance team (which i think is Chris Jacobson and his pupils) came with a rotary tool and cleaned them and then sealed the basement. Don't know if they are in one piece or broken again by that tool. However every time they do laundry upstairs the fiberboard part of the floor bulges.

But even that wouldn't be such a great problem if they didn't let all kinda food wrappers on the mulch in the rain. Those cause mold in the mulch that spreads inside.

When i went to Reno and even here at Spirit Mountain i saw some new air filters in smoking areas that use advanced technology. Multistage filtration with cold catalysts, titanium dioxide and UV, stuff like that. As long as the elements are new, they are very efficient but very expensive. 500+ dollars.

Angela has some more allowance for this year to buy health related stuff. 300 dollars. I was looking yesterday on Amazon and i saw those are now getting cheaper. There are already a couple of comparable brands at 200 dollars and the more expensive at 6 or 7. But i got disappointing cause i could not find the power of the UV lamps in those.

Here in the apartment i tried for a while with UV lamps directly. But you cannot use those when you're inside and you have to move the plants elsewhere or you'll fry those in a few hours of exposure. As soon as the lamps are off, the mold comes back because the floor is moist.

Then i saw online this solution which works for houses with central AC. A strong UV lamp inside the central vent. And i said to myself. I can do that. I took and old, abandoned "HEPA" filter and put a UV lamp instead of filtering elements. However i did not realize how contaminated that filter was. With litter dust that came for years from walls (though neighbors upstairs did not have dogs until December 2018. That i knew of. And i stopped using that filter before that.

After using one night the mold went down but the old dog smell re-appeared big time. So yesterday morning i took the thing apart, cleaned it with a tooth brush, rinsed it and started again. Same smell, even after 36 hours of having a 10 Watts UV-C lamp inside. Should have thrown it away long time ago, which i will do cause i don't think i have any use of it anymore.

So i abandoned that idea and built one myself. From a cardboard box, aluminum foil and two computer fans. Though is a bit noisy it works. After one night spent in the living with the thing on, when i went in the bedroom this morning got hit by the smell of mold though Angela when she left turned the UV lamp on the wall on. But there is a problem.

UV light inside gets amplified several times because it's trapped within aluminum foil covered walls and it escapes through the fans' blades and is very intense. So next step will be to cover those somehow.

This morning i wanted to go to the park before sunrise and catch some pictures (i did one with my phone's camera a few days ago).

So i dressed up, grabbed my camera and went out the door only to see it was raining. I let the door open to air a bit and went inside and turned the thing that was facing the door with one of the fans off. A few seconds later at 7:30 AM a couple of kids, under 10, looking Japanese passed on the alley on their way to entrance which is a 5-10 minutes walk, again alone, unsupervised with dozens of cars passing by. They could have been theoretically exposed to a tiny amount of UV.

Then i realized. God knows what rumors they started and i think Scientology is the main carrier of those around here. So here i am posting again every bit of my life.

Hide Park

Încerc să merg în parc în fiecare zi. Este o alee betonată lungă de jumătate de milă (800 metri) de-a lungul râului Tualatin. E foarte mișto pe orice vreme, mai ales când nu sunt zgomote de construcții sau suflători (de frunze) și fum (de șemineuri, sau neidentificat) ceea ce s-a întâmplat destul de des.

Oricum. Mă duc pentru că astfel amorțesc definitiv (Am în buzunar și o mască în caz de fum). Merg cu mașina o milă până în parcare. Ca să ajung la aleea de beton care începe de la punctul roșu mai merg încă pe atât, pe stradă pe lângă clubul de tenis Stafford Hills (4 terenuri acoperite cred) sau printr-o pădurice lângă râu. Iată poza din google maps.
Multe faze s-au întâmplat pe acolo pe aleea lată de beton dintre copaci. Adică nu se întâmplă nimic vreau să spun. Merg și de obicei pe la ultima parte a traseului apar diverse personaje. Am și uitat de-a lungul timpului pe cine am crezut că am văzut pe acolo (Lista include pe Tump și Elizabeth Warren).

La începutul aleii este și o vilă (punctul roșu pe hartă) care a fost cumpărată de primărie și care acum se numește Community Center. Acolo în parcare apar tot felul de mașini, dar astăzi nu era nici una.

Vineri parcă mi s-a părut că o văd pe Hăineală printr-o fereastră și am luat-o pe stradă în loc să mai merg pe alee. Astăzi când am trecut pe acolo a apărut o tipă alergând care parcă zâmbea puțin la mine. A trecut o dată într-un sens și odată în alt sens. Am mai văzut-o când am ajuns în parcare, punctul de pornire în stânga (alerga încet), se urca într-un SUV mare, negru.

Am venit acasă și m-am uitat pe la știri. Am văzut știrea cu respingerea ordonanței pentru prorogarea legii dublării alocațiilor și m-am bucurat. Respingerea a fost votată în senat cu 95 la 14 parcă deci are toate șansele să fie respinsă și în Cameră. Sper că nu vor întârzia procedura pentru ca legea să fie aplicată chiar de luna asta. În știre se spune și numărul de copii care beneficiază. 3.6 milioane. Ceea ce m-a făcut să-mi dau seama de o greșeală pe care am făcut-o în mai multe postări. Am numărat, din grabă, pe graficul din Wikipedia doar băieții și am rămas cu ideea aceea. Băieții sunt cu albastru iar fetele cu roșu. Cam 100 mii din fiecare pe an timp de 18 ani în fiecare parte a graficului.

Este prima dată când se spune o cifră mai aproape de realitate, pentru că în România grupele de vârste între 0 și 18 și 55-72 și până la capăt sunt mai mici decât 19-54, care include decrețeii.

Deci am corectat greșeala în câteva postări mai recente după care, tot uitându-mă pe la știri am văzut poza asta și mi s-a părut că am recunoscut-o pe tipa din parc. Sincer, cred că au băgat-o pe tipă pe alee după care au băgat știrea ca să-mi dau seama de greșeală ca să spună că întâlnirea cu ea m-a influențat să modific cifrele și probabil tot ce voi face în următoarele zile. În realitate, doar au prevăzut ce voi face și au țesut o intrigă pe lângă, așa cum fac mereu.

Legea Plafoanelor

Există în repertoriul legislativ (baza de date a actelor legislative din Camera Deputaților) niște legi periodice (anuale) numite Legile Plafoanelor. Ele sunt date înainte de legile bugetelor, încercând, fără prea mult succes să pună niște limite bugetelor. Nu am știut până săptămâna asta despre aceste legi. Una din anexele la ultima Lege a Plafoanelor se numește Strategia Fiscal Bugetară pe Perioada 2020 -2022. Fiindcă nu găsesc acum fișierul original, îl foi folosi pe cel din această bază de date, care iarăși este scanat foarte prost de pe hârtie. La pagina 55 avem descrierea cuprinzătoare a bugetului României, sub formă de estimare. Aceste cifre sunt doar orientative iar ele nu au fost respectate în legile bugetului, promulgate 3 săptămâni mai târziu.

Din acest extras vedem că România nu are numai 2 bugete, pentru care iarăși sunt date în fiecare an cele două legi ale bugetului, cel de Stat și cel al Asigurărilor Sociale ci 6, plus  "Alte componente", din care se mai extrag "transferurile". Totalul se numește Buget General Consolidat și se folosește la calcularea deficitului. Însă deficitul nu se calculează raportat la venituri sau la cheltuieli bugetare, ci raportat la PIB (Produsul Intern Brut) cu scopoul de a părea mai mic.

Produsul Intern Brut (Gross Domestic Product în engleză) este un indicator artificial care are mai multe scopuri, toate de inducere în eroare a opiniei publice, iar unul din ele este de a face deficitul să pară mult mai mic. Găsim PIB-ul României la pagina 8 în același fișier al Strategiei.

Am adăugat în această foaie toate componentele Bugetului General Consolidat, mai puțin Alte Componente și Bugetul Asigurărilor de Șomaj luate din anexele la legile bugetului. Totalul pe cheltuieli ale Bugetului de Stat depășesc suma din Legea Plafoanelor. Veniturile Bugetului de Stat din Anexă sunt mult sub. Nu reușesc să înțeleg însă (încă) ce sunt aceste transferuri, al căror total din anexe nu ajung la suma din Legea Plafoanelor.
