POPSJust When I Thought I'd Heard It All...
SWEAT LODGE appears on my computer screen. WTF? People paying money to be herded into a makeshift room that's hotter than any imaginative HELL? After reading a 3rd person had died in this sweat ceremony, my curiosity piqued and I had to find out more about those who seek enlightenment, by sweating. Huh? I can't believe a charlatan like this guru, Ray can so easily flimflam people into paying him lots of cash so they can suffer greatly (even die) in some sweaty, crowded, hot cubbyhole. If only I could have talked to these poor souls before they handed over their health and wampum to some Nut. Maybe I could have saved them by telling them go live and blend in to a Third World slum where there's plenty of misery and sweat, trying to survive, to see if that will bring about the financial glorification they seek? Maybe if they would have helped someone living in these REAL, not conjured up conditions, fulfillment may have followed. Never underestimate the power of GIVING!

Also discussed is Shell's involvement with Virent Energy Systems, a company we looked at here: http://www.forbes.com/beltway/2008/03/11/virent-ethanol-gasoline-biz-cz_atg_0312beltway.html

POPSThe First Barbary War On Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, Yussif Karamanli, the Pasha (or Bashaw) of Tripoli, demanded $225,000 from the new administration. (In 1800, Federal revenues totaled a little over $10 million.) Putting his long-held beliefs into practice, Jefferson refused the demand. Consequently, in May of 1801, the Pasha declared war on the United States, not through any formal written documents but by cutting down the flagstaff in front of the U.S. Consulate.

POPSAmericans fight 4 right 2 see Stars " There's passion about dark skies here, in no small part because of the observatories that for decades have quietly lobbied for pristine viewing of the stars. Lowell Observatory was the first here in 1894. Percival Lowell came from the East looking for life on Mars. A Lowell astronomer discovered Pluto in 1930. Next year, Flagstaff will celebrate 50 years of campaigning to protect dark skies. Signs proclaim Flagstaff is the "world's first international dark-sky city," and people are proud of it, Grahame says. "
