The Talk About Anything Page. (Archive #2)
By [pseudonomen] • Jan 8th, 2008 • Category: Opinions and EditorialsI know that a lot of people have something they want to say, but are hesitant because they feel like it just doesn’t fit into any of the discussions here.
So here is a page where you can talk about anything and everything.
The old is page here.
Have at it now, just remember the rules.
January 8th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I was leading up to making a good point about a big issue, and now all my work is over on that archive page.
Oh, well… I guess I can summarize and link from here to there.

FLU & cold et. cetera remedy to try…
Oxalic acid-(I think is how it is spelled, is found in our foods, but is also a poision with industrial uses.)
*DARK CHOCOLATE (”Doves” as an example)
* Black Tea
*Carrot Juice(that is not juiced in the presence of a electromagnetic field)
-are all very high in Oxalic acid;
a three day course of abstaining from milk &milk products or high calcium foods (can lead to kidney stones in combination with oxsalic acid), and yes shunning vitimin C containing foods,
* stay away from the EMF of things like ‘puters, electric blankes, heaters and such.
Drinking say a quart of pressed or “hollywood” carrot juice, 6oz/4hour, black tea 3times a day and servings of non-milk dark chocolate;
this has worked to stop 2 ear infections and 2 colds/flu like episodes the last 3 yrs I have tried it.
This year It did not work but I skimped on several factors and the cold came back 3 times, once with a ear infection. SO if you are despirate enuff give it a try.
Costs less than a doctor’s visit and many a course “modern” antibiotics.
Some info on this is online but I heard it 4yrs ago on the radio and finally gave it a try and it worked for me several times…
January 9th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Thanks for the remedy advise. I’m fine except I’ve got a slight headache, sore throat,cough, clogged ears, slightly swollen glands, greenish ’stuff’ from my nose, and feel like crap all over, just TARRED. Other than that, I’m fine! LOL
I think my next round of ’strick-nine’ should do it! Hot Chai and Earl Grey Decaff tea with sugar-free honey/lemon cough drops melted in the cup feels really good on my throat.

I was thinking about charging a silver dollar with ~9vdc in a pint of water for several hours and trying that. Cant remember what they call it, but I’ve heard it works.
January 10th, 2008 at 8:11 am
That Oxalic acid is worth a try and will save me a couple of dollars. The method I described above requires 2 silver dollars, and is similar to electroplating, but its silver to silver instead and the particles get suspended in the water…
Anyways the stuff will turn you blue if you don’t prepare it right.

“Collodial silver” after years of excessive use will turn your complexion blue, it was actually a snews bit on TVQ36 last month, (with no explanation and “co-loi-d-ial” was mispronounced horridly)
“Silver dollars” even .999fine bullion coins have nickel and perhaps other contaminant metals in them.
(not jewlry grade) 2 Surgical/medicinal grade .999 fine 16guage wires about 4-1/2″ inches long is what you need and a quart jar of distilled or really pure filtered spring water. 3 fresh 9volt batteries ~28volts total & gator clips, a volt meter( to see that the connection is made, &bright white light to see the cloud of silver.
Hook up the wires,
draped/bent in to the quart of water about 1″ apart,( I like to stir the water before i put the wires in this allows the cloud of silver to swirl around between the wires & get the process started)
you might see very fine bubbles on one rod in the water. now add a drop or 3 of saline/salt water-using a pure salt &distilled water you make.(after you; make the silver solution you can mix some in the saline to preserve it)
The goal here is to add just enuff to start the process of very small(.10micron )particle shedding off the wires in a foggy white cloud.
one wire will tarnish, that can be wiped off with a paper towel)
the solution, in about 10minutes will start to turn yellow or cloudy and you are close to the 10part per million solution you want.
This is the $30/per oz. “colodial silver” sold in health food stores and is a broad spectrum anti-biotic that doesn’t wipe out a lot of good bacteria.
waaaayy cheeper than the “mersa” strenth patented antibiotics
Silver is touted for all sorts of ailments and as a “secondary immune” system to prevent stuff.
I have made and drank probably 2 or 3 gallons of the stuff over the last 5 years or so (on & off), no ill effects detected and it will keep for years in dark brown sealed bottles with some sediment in the bottome just stir it and drink to yur health? (not at meal time or it could affect digestion if it is strong enuff to kill off some intestinal flora your bowels are accustomed to, but it is not supposed to kill acidophilous , l casi, bi-fodium and such in the massive way other antibiotics do).
January 10th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
wires needed for do it yurself collodial silver are to be at least .9999
“four nines” fine(not three sorry) used to be kits you could buy for $25-30 or up to $50 with one set of wires the battery box and connectors, a 30volt light bulb that got brighter when the solution reached 10parts per million. and the gator clips to atttache the wires, with a medicine dropper bottle and some pure salt to make the saline.
The big pharma stoodges at the FDA probably shut down those vendors??? but you can make your own kit and it is a pre 1938? out of FDA jurisdiction method so ppppppppppthttttttttttt
to big pharma facists.
January 10th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins for this are certified by the Royal Canadian Mint to be 99.99% pure.
(HOWEVER uniform 1micro partical size is not going to happen with a coin, a wire can get more uniform small particals to shed off and it is better if all you see is bubble and a fine cloud that dissapears in to the water or sinks to the bottome very slowly. STOP before you get to the yellow discolored stage as it is a waste of silver and may not be as absorbable or you can dilute it if you get distracted, it also makes cut flowers last longer by the way!
January 12th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Not trying to sound old, but… It wasn’t that long ago when we lived for a spell without electricity. This meant if we wanted cool milk it had to go in the ice box.
A clean silver dollar was always in the bottom of the milk pitcher. Said to make it keep longer at warmer temperatures.
That’s where I was confused about using the silver dollar for making the colloidal silver. The thin silver wires would be the best. That bubbling sort of sounds like a small hydrogen generator using carbon electrodes in the place of silver.
January 12th, 2008 at 8:19 am
It’s cool, it’s awesome, its amazing! It’s the hydrogen powered spud gun cannon! Made from common items found at a local hardware store.
Wonder if theres a market for those?
January 12th, 2008 at 8:35 am
On second thought, It’d probably be less popular then my tea candle powered refrigerator was until after the tornado we had years ago that knocked most everyones power out.
Thats when they quit laughing and wanted one. But I got the last laugh out of that one, because I only had the prototypes.
My perishables stayed cold though.
January 12th, 2008 at 9:16 am
Corruption, but where?
Commonwealth Attorney Heather Combs said she is seeking assistance from Kentucky State Police to deal with the situation.
“When officers start arresting each other, you’ve got a trust issue and you’ve got a safety issue,” she said.
Sounds like she is siding with the police chief to me, and if that is the case, then she’s a serious safety issue, and maybe committing malfeasance in office herself! At least in my humble opinion.
It’s a case of Irvine city police officers arresting one of their own — their chief to be exact — and that doesn’t sit well with at least one Estill County official.
Estill County Commonwealth’s Attorney Heather Combs said Tuesday that she is asking Kentucky State Police to step in regarding the arrest of Irvine Police Chief James Crowe. [More]
To read what this lady Commonwealth’s Attorney is saying, I get the impression that she hasn’t a clue of how the world rotates outside of a courtroom.
It would seem that in her fictional world Police Officers don’t know one another from FOP lodge meetings and/or FOP related events, training, multi-jurisdictional operations, etc…
January 12th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Other than EBAY, does anyone have a clue as to where I could find announcement cards for the adoption of twins?
January 12th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Coffee Tree used to have things like that. If you need a lot, you could have Shepard’s Printing custom make them for a reasonable price.
My last choice would be walwart, but who knows… Maybe even Dollar General.
January 12th, 2008 at 11:54 am
i like your site keep it coming
January 12th, 2008 at 11:59 am
way dont you go to wal.mart and get the things you need and make then everone likes homemade things and you can put what ever you like on them
January 12th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Thanks Oma. Great idea. I love making homemade cards, etc., don’t know why I didn’t think of that! DUH! silly me. By the way, WELCOME ABOARD! Please come back and post often! Have a great weekend!
January 12th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Why you ask opinions on Obama then and erase them?
I tried to ask on the other page but you closed comments.
January 12th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Mine got deleted too. I am new here maybe comments are not welcome. If so sorry I did not mean to exercise bad netiquette. I was just surprised to see a completely false post on a candidate not that I should mind as I am of the opposite party than Osama. LOL
January 12th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
If you don’t mind shopping online there are places for adoption announcements. Just google “adoption announcements.
January 12th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
If just to see something else on the news LOL. There are some good sites if your still undecided about the candidates like me.
January 12th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
I have been reading hear for a while and noticed thangs get deleted on pages writen by Kat when the cometts arent closed.
January 12th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I believe I’ll vote for
Ron Paul for president
everyone knows we don’t need
Hilary Clinton in office and
Barook Ubama is a muslism and
foreginer and he does not
believe in god
January 12th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
Ok, BOMBA erased. That should make everyone happy. Ya can’t even ask for OPINIONS without being called a liar. I copied and pasted what I was sent, along with the snopes.com link and ask for opinions on this, not comdenation. Anyway, it got peoples attention and that is what is important. Sometimes ya have to shake the tree to get the people to come out and say what they are thinking. I think.
Several people at church are taking about Ron Paul but you and I both know he doesn’t have a snow ball’s chance of winning. If BOMBA was a foreigner he wouldn’t be able to run for President and when you think of it, we are ALL foreigners in this land as my native american husband points out ALL the time.

New Articles

Photographs show lifelike sculptures of humans in varying scales created by artist Ron Mueck.
Are Canada, the United States, and Mexico planning to merge into a “North American Union” in 2010?

WORTH A SECOND LOOK!
Of Indians on wrappers and free Tootsie Rolls.
Still Haunting the Inbox
There was no letter to Starbucks from coffee-seeking G.I.s serving in Iraq, so no response from the coffee retailer saying it didn’t support the war and anyone in it. As for Oscar Meyer refusing troops free hot dogs, the 2004 Starbucks e-mail was altered in 2007 to aim it at the blameless hot dog maker.
****Re Illinois Senator Barack Obama - Yep, the photograph that shows him without his hand over his heart while the U.S. national anthem was being played is the real thing, but no, he’s not “ideologically Muslim.”
Protest about the 2007 film The Golden Compass being based on a series of books with anti-religious themes.
15-year-old Evan Trembley of Wichita Falls, Texas, isn’t missing — it’s a hoax.
Actor/writer Ben Stein’s commentary on the observance of Christmas.
The entreaty to aid 7-year-old Amy Bruce who is dying of lung cancer and a brain tumor by forwarding an email and a sappy poem titled “Slow Dance” is a hoax.
The Arlington Wreath Project lays Christmas wreaths at headstones in Arlington National Cemetery.
No, the new U.S. dollar coin doesn’t omit “In God We Trust” — that phrase has been stamped into its edge.
While it is true that in 2004 a man in India was electrocuted when trying to use his cell phone as it recharged, it is safe to use your cell phone while it is charging.
No, commentator Andy Rooney did not write the “I like big cars, big boats…” polemic.
Dialing #77 or *677 is not a surefire way of reaching the local highway patrol — the service is in place in some regions, but not in others. If in need of assistance, dial 911 instead for the sure thing.
The missing child alert about 13-year-old Ashley Flores of Philadelphia is a hoax.
809 area code scam: Unsuspecting phone customers have been gulled by con artists into placing calls to area codes in the Caribbean that result in hefty charges.
No, reversing your PIN at the ATM won’t summon the police to your aid if you’re being robbed.
Hillary Clinton is the subject of many e-mailed items, and our “Clintons” section contains write-ups about a number of them.
No, Bill Gates is not sharing his fortune with everyone who forwards a specific e-mail on his behalf. This tired leg-pull continues to romp through everyone’s inbox, the most widespread incarnation swearing “This took two pages of the Tuesday USA Today!”
Virus announcement and virus hoax e-mails are afoot! We try to keep current on them and do our best to point readers to authoritative links confirming or debunking them.
Fraud Afoot
Seems like everyone has become the recipient of mysterious e-mails promising untold wealth if only one helps a wealthy foreigner quietly move millions of dollars out of his country. The venerable Nigerian Scam has discovered the goldmine that is the Internet. Beware — there’s still no such thing as “something for nothing,” and the contents of your bank account will end up with these wily foreigners if you fall in with this.
Likewise, look out for mailings announcing you’ve won a foreign lottery you don’t recall entering.
Or that because you share the surname of a wealthy person who died without leaving a will you’re in line for a windfall inheritance.
And be especially wary if, while trying to sell or rent anything online (car, boat, horse, motorcycle, painting, apartment, you name it) you’re approached by a prospective buyer/renter who wants to pay with a cashier check made out for an amount in excess of the agreed-upon price and who asks the balance be sent to a third party.
Aspiring work-at-homers promised big bucks for acting as intermediaries for international transactions wherein they cash checks for other parties or reship goods to them have been defrauded by con artists. Don’t you be next.
If someone calls to announce you’ve failed to appear for jury duty and will be arrested, do not give the caller your personal and financial information in an effort to prove he’s sending the gendarmes after the wrong guy. You’re being tricked into giving up this information to an identity thief.

Kat since your husband lives in
a different state and your living here
by your self do you answer the lonely house wives ads on personals ? just asking since you posted the ads and
link to lonely housewives ?
January 13th, 2008 at 10:19 am
It’s a good thing I’m on my way to church. You have strained your Brain. I’m not a lonely housewife and I’m neutered AND a Born-Again Virgin! THAR ya go! I only posted it as it continues to appear and I was outraged at the immorality of it. But then again, in this day and age there aren’t many with any morals. That really gets my cat dander up that you would suggest such a thing. But I’ll just pray for you as it is always a goal for you to get into my litter box and kick up some doo. What state do you live in? The state of Confusion? LOL
January 13th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Kat that wern’t me and you might consider that responding this way to someone like “BrainStrainer” gives them satisfaction or perhaps is their intent to agitate you. Again that has never been my intent, but a all too often side-effect I know.

That article you posted was fairly helpfull to confirm alot of what I was doing instictively like stirring and the slower you go making colloid/ionic silver the better, so if you can get the process started with no saline at all, all the better. I suspect if you used those certified 99.99 Canadian silver maple leaf coins you would get some favorable results but it will tarnish the coin numismatic value and there will be a wide variation in partial size, some will be smaller and you will want to rotate the coin as a small porting will have to stay above the water to clip onto without the clip itself interfering with the process electronically.

required voluntary compliance I know that isn’t you and wasn’t suggesting such. I was simply wondering WHY this type of ad popped on Rowan Review as a Google link. I have no idea what the (W*****S) thing means be when you stand before God and makes vows ya better keep’em. That’s all I’m saying. I get so sick of getting all these vulgar bulk emails like I guess a most people do. That was the topic in church today. With all the technology in the world and how to tune out all the porn, etc. from tv, computer, etc. Anyway, church was great with another baptism and that is always worth shouting over!

Google ads use software to place adverts based on fresh content in the blog so keywords like “loney housewife” generate a related advertisement so there now … on oaths(vows) there are at least 2 scriptures that say not to take oaths in the new testament “simply let your yes be yes and your no be no”
There are however bunches of verses on poly-gyny that is having more than one wife & only the “bishop is to be a sober man and the husband of one wife” (so much for unmarried priests)

Back to Ed and Elaine Brown for a minute…
As I said earlier, a foundation was being laid to make some basic points.
Now according to Articles of Confederation their is supposed to be a fair tax paid to the united states, but not from the payment for your labor!
ARTICLE VIII
All charges of war, and all other expenses that shall be incurred for the common defence or general welfare, and allowed by the united states in congress assembled, shall be defrayed out of a common treasury, which shall be supplied by the several states in proportion to the value of all land within each state, granted to or surveyed for any Person, as such land and the buildings and improvements thereon shall be estimated according to such mode as the united states in congress assembled, shall from time to time direct and appoint.
The taxes for paying that proportion shall be laid and levied by the authority and direction of the legislatures of the several states within the time agreed upon by the united states in congress assembled.
I have been unable to find any act of congress that lawfully superseedes this property tax.
And I might be overlooking something, but does the constitution explicitly state that the Articles Of Confederation have been repealed?
Now, That being said;
I’d have to be of the opinion that Ed and Elaine were falsely convicted to be made an example of.
January 14th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
That is my opinion only if Ed and Elaine were paying their “Property Taxes” of course, and I do believe that those taxes were up to date.
January 14th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Those Articles Of Confederation also the reason why we have another (appointed) president, who you must call Mr. President when congress is assembled.
January 14th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
County Surveyor an antiquated, unneeded, unnecessary, and useless position that should be abolished… Eh?
Go ahead and abolish those little constitutional offices which the powers that be continue to downplay as unneeded in an effort to establish their New World Order.
January 14th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
According to the Declaration of Independence
…That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security…
Well it looks to me as if the Government has been acting contrary to those words for decades — perhaps centuries now.
We The People are supposed to govern the power of government. That much is at least Self Evident.
So why do we have all of those officials overstepping their bounds without facing recourse?
January 14th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
To put this quite simply;
QUIT FEEDING THE BEAST!
Stop voting to abolish those most important “constitutional offices” and stop voting to strip them of their power (like was done with the One Supreme “county” Court).
If you keep allowing the Government to change it’s form contrary to that Declaration of Independence, the BEAST will become the supreme ruler.
January 14th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
THOSE TAXES are billed to the state with no direct property tax levied, this was a way to proportionately get each state to pay a fair ammount of tax based on the land area reguardless of population. It was up to the state how to generate such re-venue, it could tax the property/owner but most folk were agin that one. Jefferson could not even get taxes collected in the hills of Easter Kentucky saying if folks could live there let them be. (a source for the attitudes for “rev-in-newers”? before still and shiners?)
The Whiskey rebellion was at this same time and troops were sent to enforce those taxes but not property taxes?
January 14th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Succession is not rebellion and this section of uS Law #1 is why no one was brought to trial for treason in the war of northern aggretion :”…abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
There are those that claim the Chief Justice said to let Jefferson Davis go for by trial he would be found innocent and walk back into the White House of the Confederacy and it likely would exist to this day.
We have been under occupation ever since by a defacto IMAGE of the original that suffer a mortal wound and yet Lives! Does all the world wonder after the U.S.? Does history repeat itself Neron Ceaser?
January 14th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
As more older folks realize they have nothing to lose (except vanity) like Ed and Elaine Brown, we will see more of the elderly stand up against this “sig heil 4th-Reich-grandsons of operation paper clip- prison planet tracking grid as even if they don’t have grand young ens they see this as necessary “live free or die” eh? “Vanity Vanity all is Vanity”

Maybe it’s just me, but that Goodman fella who hosts KET’s Kentucky Tonight appeared to be directing the show towards his point of view.
I noticed that he cut Mr. Babbage short thus not allowing him to answer the question he was ask, and then — THEN he refused to let anyone answer the question the last caller had.
I listened to the Governor’s speech and it brought back vague memories from Amway meetings… you know, the “Dream it, Do it, Have it!”
Oh, no! We have elected the local Amway Diamond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 14th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
I just happened to tune into the local channel TV10 this morning, long enough to hear of a lady wanting to give away a 2 y/o cat because she just couldn’t take care of it anymore and then I saw some kind of ad about it was against the consitution to pay taxes? and that we did not HAVE to pay taxes? Hummm… can someone explain that one? Like why do you pay taxes on the property that when you BUY it and then you have to keep paying taxes every year on it? So basically, you never REALLY own it do you? Don’t pay the tax and uncle Sam takes it from you.
As far as the ‘lonely housewife’ thing being generated by Google, I never saw anyone write anything about a lonely housewife until I saw the ad pop up on the screen but I guess it pulled it out of the air somewhere.
Also, speaking of Amway—I love some of their cleaning products. Is there a local dealer? I used to be, way back in the early 80’s.

On the tax thing, start reading [here] and that page links over to this one.
It’s just too complicated to sum up in a few words.
There is some information over at MakeTheStand if you can dig it out of the archives. BUT beware! There could be some false information over there. The Admin of that site introduced Ed and Elaine to Undercover Federal Marshals.

By E. Bougerol
(LifeWire) — It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood — except your neighbor’s not exactly Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers wouldn’t let his cat use the building’s hallways as a litter box.
“I never know when I’m going to step in a pile of poop,” says Michael Peinovich, a Web developer whose Brooklyn, New York, building houses the feline in question. “Everybody complains, but the landlords won’t get involved.”
As neighborly nuisances go, the kitty seems quaint compared with Catzie Vilayphonh’s Philadelphia story.
It was one thing when her neighbor kept losing her keys and getting locked out, says Vilayphonh, an editorial fashion director. But one day, Vilayphonh fell asleep without bolting her door, and awoke to the sound of metal clinking: “I found her in my apartment, wrapped in a bedsheet, looking for quarters.
“I broke my lease and moved out.”
And bad neighbor stories aren’t confined to apartment life. Author Bill Adler Jr.’s toddler played in the backyard of his house in Washington, D.C.’s leafy Cleveland Park neighborhood, but a neighbor’s pet made the situation unsafe — and unsanitary.
“Their dog would roam around and relieve itself,” says Adler. “Our daughter was 2 years old. We didn’t want to have to worry about her in our own yard.”
Cybersnitching on neighbor
So what do you do when landlords won’t listen and you feel like a prisoner in your own home? Brant Walker turned to the Web after he and his girlfriend settled into their new home in San Diego.
“There was this odor coming from next door,” he says. “The tenants clearly knew about it because they’d try to air out the place by opening their door, which made it worse.”
The problem gave Walker an idea: What if you could find out about problem neighbors before moving in? He created RottenNeighbor.com, where users can flag their local nuisances on a map — anonymously or not — and post complaints for the world to see.
The first post, in August, was Walker’s own, but within weeks a local media outlet ran a story on the site. The next day, he woke to dozens of posts added in California. Today, RottenNeighbor.com has “about 100,000″ posts worldwide, and Walker’s still in shock.
“I’ve realized it’s universal,” he says. “Everybody’s had a bad neighbor.”
Two sides to every story
Although his site’s current setup can enable a free-for-all for those looking to rant or badmouth others, Walker plans to expand RottenNeighbor.com in a few key ways, including taking the process offline with a real-world mediation service between sparring parties.
“We really want to turn this into a positive thing,” he says, “to help resolve issues between neighbors and make people happier where they live.”
Adler agrees that getting neighbors to appreciate each other’s point of view is the most effective step to resolution — something he and his wife learned the hard way when that dog crept into their yard. “We didn’t deal very well,” he says. “We made mistakes we regretted.”
He figured others could learn from his mistakes, and penned the book “Outwitting Neighbors: A Practical and Entertaining Guide to Achieving Peaceful Coexistence with the People Next Door.”
No matter what category your particular complaint is in — and there are many, with noise topping the list — Adler says nuisance neighbors fall into one of two groups: “those who are rude, brutish and just don’t care, and those who are simply ignorant of your side of the story.”
Adler stresses that communication is key to keeping the problem from getting downright ugly: Neighbor disputes are the No. 1 reason, in some cities and small towns, why Americans go to court, he says.
He offers these tips for coping with bad neighbors before they — or you — wind up before a judge (or online).
Five tips for keeping the peace
1. Know your neighbors. Upon moving in, knock on doors, introduce yourself and establish a rapport. That way, when a problem does arise, you’ll both want to resolve it peacefully.
2. Bring problems up immediately. Don’t delay. The longer you wait, the bigger the problem can get — literally, in some cases (a new puppy, a tree that blocks your sunlight, an add-on to property).
3. Ask around. Most problems bother more than one neighbor. Gather support to build your case, and consider talking to the offending party as a group.
4. Be nice. Bring your neighbor cookies or a bottle of wine. It sets the stage for an amicable discussion. And if you’ve been confrontational, apologize. Nothing’s more powerful — and chances are, they’ll apologize back.
5. Be proactive. Try to deal with conflict on your own before taking things to the next level. Unless the offense is truly egregious, reporting a neighbor to the police or another relevant agency is the wrong first move.
Baltimore is trying to give police more tools to deal with problems like noisy neighbors. The city recently passed a law that allows police to order residents to leave a property for up to one year if police determine the inhabitants are creating a “neighborhood nuisance” (such as creating excessive noise or using loud profanity) twice over a six-month period.

well what’s in a name but that is what I am hinting at with “enforced voluntary compliance” watch Arron Russo’s last movie, “AMERICA FREEDOM TO FACISM” he thought it important enuff to spend millions on while fighting cancer promoting it befor he died. Pieces of it are on youtube but not the complete “final cut” that will cost ~$15 on DVD, he interviews the guy who wrote the Internal Revenue code who threatens him in yittish that “nothing will help you” when he asks a series of questions like, how can I sign a tax form providing evidence and keep 5th amendment right against providing evidence that can be used to procecute me? Income tax “is a direct tax and not apportioned as the constitution demands” is the quote from the movie.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:00 am
I seen some of the clips from his work when I was searching for “Ruby Ridge” a while back. Arron had the guy over a barrel with his line of questioning.
For those who haven’t seen the film or the clips, the former (IRS?) government agent, couldn’t answer a single simple question — and when Arron pinned him down (from the “ring around the question” game), he got mad and went stomping out.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Kat, about your comment on property taxes, and not really owning anything, I think that’s the same point that this comment was making:
“As more older folks realize they have nothing to lose (except vanity) like Ed and Elaine Brown, we will see more of the elderly stand up against this “sig heil 4th-Reich-grandsons of operation paper clip- prison planet tracking grid as even if they don’t have grand young ens they see this as necessary “live free or die” eh? “Vanity Vanity all is Vanity”“
January 15th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I mean we can’t own anything… Heck we don’t even have sound money. Our money is fiat currency backed solely by the promise that we will serve as human resources (the promise of our future labor).
And if they take everything that we “think we” have, we have in reality lost Nothing.
Even a registered “motor vehicle” with the “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” assigned to you, belongs to the state who holds the “Title”. And that’s how they exert “Jurisdiction” over you when you “operate” a “motor vehicle” upon the highway — and get away with ripping the interior out of it when a hungry dog smells the wrapper from your McD’s cheeseburger.
January 15th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
And it’s all UNconstitutional!
But everyone is under the ILLUSION that they OWN things, That they have status, and are so afraid of loosing these things (which they don’t really own), that they won’t stand up and enforce the constitution.
Truth be known, the people are likely to be the ones who are really committing malfeasance or misfeasance by not taking a stand against this corruption.
January 15th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
“Stakeholder” is the Communist 4th International newspeak used to refer to the interdependant status of everthing, the watermellon enviromentalists movements have been highjacked by the Gore Type “reinventing goverNANCE” crowd to impose their religion or what they think is the most logical (lucent-fer) belief system, for us as animal products of the biosphere to in effect worship and be owned by the earth, a perversion of some aboriginal americans ideology. STAKEholders means anyone or entity that claims to have a stake in the status and maintence or use of a piece of land or property real or otherwise.
January 15th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Reminicent of the land rush where the first man to drive a stake in a plot of land and file a claim in the land office could claim title as owner but owner statuses out west compaired to original land grants and or ALLODIAL tile or deed “in fee simple and absolute” are different things.
Now the “and absolute” cannot be added to language of deed and titles so ownership in effect beyond commercial title can only be held by BELIGERANT OCCUPATION if no other “natural person” (human) has a claim Some observe as by biblical order we followers are to occupy the land (a common law concept that cannot be abrogated.

Exactly.

well the post somehow contains misspellinggs but there is a bit more to it. Some janitor about 110 years ago wired a school in the upper midwest with hundreds of pounds of dynomite in protest of school property taxes in the county and luckily the stuff did not go off. THis is said to be the first (post civil war) 20th century domestic terrorism act until Tim McVey unless you consider Kent State shootings or various other illegitamate acts by government, or lynchings and such as terrorism which they are in effect.
January 16th, 2008 at 12:43 am
You know we are supposed to post on our frontlets/door post certain language if we are in occupation as decribed above. You should be able to dicern what this should include eh?
January 16th, 2008 at 1:16 am
“nighthawk” said: …Our money is fiat currency backed solely by the promise that we will serve as human resources (the promise of our future labor).
And if they take everything that we “think we” have, we have in reality lost Nothing.”
Here is why in a fundamental sence the Brown’s (or anyone) cannot “Pay” taxes or any bill, as you sorta say we have a monetized debt scrip by fiat or by commercil decree. (Bad money replaces good- some economist said)
In this credit-debt system you cannot pay a debt with a debt so anything you “buy” or bill is really only “discharged” or divested of its charge against you but the debt still exists.
& Clinton thought the definition of “is” is thang was crafty?
The Phil Collins video from the mid 80’s comes to mind with the look-alike pupets.
“Land of Confusion”
“Confusion of Rights” in law comes to mind.
The merging of debtor & creditor into the same person.
Some gurus claim there are ways to accept for value anything you are charged with and cancell any debt or even charge back public officials and such that try to injure you in the process impersonating that they are in office when they are just acting as a admistrator/collection agent in the perpetual banquerupsty?
January 16th, 2008 at 2:01 am
I know only of one specific notice.
On the other post about the janitor,
the LAST thing we need is violent, deadly protests. I think they are hastily awaiting such acts of rebellion to occur so they will have a valid excuse to come in and disarm the people.
And finally,
Yes I do include the Kent State shootings.
“What if you knew her, and found her dead on the ground? How can you run when you know?” To quote a witness to the shootings.
January 16th, 2008 at 2:49 am
Land of confusion video with puppet people political figures, where the main one pushes the Nuke button mistake while trying to call for a Nurse from a hospital bed.
Yes I remember that one now.
And I was just about asleep when I did remember it.
Time to go try it again.
January 16th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I was not advocating violence with that historical reference, just so we are clear to anyone “watching” this conversation not implicating you misinterpreting the reference.

This email was sent to me by my girlfriend in Tennessee. She is rather well-known by goes by a different stage name. However, that doesn’t matter in this case. Just please keep Nicholas in your prayers. Thanks, Kat
———–
Dear friends and family,
I have been on the phone with Nicholas several times today getting updates on the situation at Camp Le Jeune. Things have been busy and difficult enough with the recent murder (Nicholas took the call from one of the witnesses who saw Corporal Laurean in Louisiana), but they’re about to get messy.
The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS (infamous for their protests at military funerals - they’re at one tonight in WI) is heading for Camp Le Jeune on Saturday. Their declared place of protest is actually on base, which of course won’t happen. They won’t be allowed on base. That means whatever happens will happen at the main gate or somewhere nearby. Nicholas has been assigned to “riot control” that day.
We’ve looked at their website (www.godhatesfags.com) and learned more of their “mission”. They have never targeted a military installation before. While their protests have always been “peaceful” before there are concerns that this time might be different, particularly if word gets out to the Marines in the area. There are concerns of rioting and possible bloodshed. Nicholas said the consensus is that if someone starts something, every one of the protesters will end up dead.
Please join with me in praying that everyone will remain calm and in control of their emotions. I believe these people need to be stopped, but I’m not sure this is the best way for that to happen. I pray their hearts will be softened. I don’t know if that’s possible, but God does. I place it in His hands.
Meanwhile, I also ask for your prayers for Nicholas and his family. He is considering taking Julie and the baby someplace away from there for their safety - “just in case”.
Pass this along at your discretion, and thank you for your prayers.

That is a disturbing web site there Kat.
Going by the picture they display of one stomping on the peace time flag (Common Law, TITLE 1, or Constitutional flag), And displaying the Distress Under Duress flag as their favicon, this appears to be a confused bunch of characters.
Not that I am prejudging them or anything… just going with my first impression.
I just hope they don’t start something that will cause all of us a lot of pain and hardships. And this includes the Marines too, as they should have enough self-discipline to restrain from starting anything.
Thoughts?….

Ok, can SOMEONE, ANYONE tell me exactly what the differnce between my old Window XP was and this stupid new Vista that I had now? I HATE it. I don’t know what it is suppose to do that is ‘better’ that XP but it is driving me crazier than normal! Yes, it’s loads faster, etc., but it will pop with with “explorer can not or not responding to….” so often it’s crazy. Who is to blame for this mess? Even tho I have set my dial-up to go straight to yahoo homepage, etc. it goes to aol! DUH! and I ain’t that stupid when setting up my ‘puter. Sometimes it just takes off into it’s own little world and will open up 60+ windows one after another! silly little thang. Hubby dearest found this ‘on sale’ in Chicago at a place called Micro Center and paid over $2,300 for the whole set with, 3 year extended plat warranty, etc. The nearest Micro Center I know of is in Cincinnati. And I STILL prefer my VCR over my DVD! When I want to tape something FAST, I just hit record. On the DVD, it has to warm up and then tell you hello, etc. It’s been lovely but I have to scream now.

Paul Beats Giuliani (Again)
If Dr Paul was given an honest go with equal coverage, by the mainstream media, he would be leading the pack. A blind Zogby poll showed that most Americans actual favor Dr Pauls policy platform, and are surprised when they find out it is him that has the positions with which they most agree. Shame on the media for treasonously perverting democracy.

I think you are correct about TITLE 4 flag.

Can He and I co-author an article?

The difference between XP and Vista
Vista promotes the need for faster processors, XP does not.
Vista promotes the need for more memory, XP does not.
Vista promotes the need for larger hard drives, XP does not.
But mainly, Vista is a way for Bill Gates to make more millions, XP is not.
I confess that I haven’t tried Vista and have no intentions of doing so.
I didn’t even upgrade from doze 3.1 to 95 until 1998, and even then I had the thing setup where I could reboot into 3.1 under dos 7 or 6.2 depending upon the autoexec and config on the floppy. (made VM a bit unstable)
I finally upgraded to doze ‘98 in 2001, hesitantly, and as my old machines became obsolete, their replacements came bundled with XP about 5 years ago.
That XP kernel seems to be at perfection, as I have watched parts of the system crash and reboot without effecting my running processes.
Maybe another LIE from the Gates Gang about doze not being built upon the DOS foundation?
January 17th, 2008 at 1:02 am
Reminds me of the time I installed win 95 on a 286. Yes it can be done by taking I286 file from 3.0 or 3.1 and renaming it to I386. Ran slow, but did well over a (red) cable to cable connection sharing connection with a 333mhz connected to the internet as it’s router/proxy.

Recieved this in an email :
Sad But True
Yes a very interesting parable!!!!!
An interesting parable.
My wife bought a bird feeder. I hung
it in my backyard and she filled
it with seed. What a beauty of
a bird feeder it is, as she filled it lovingly with seed. Within a
Week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and
easily accessible food.
But then the birds started
building nests in the boards
of the patio, above the table,
and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was
everywhere: on the patio stone,
the chairs, the table …
everywhere!
Then some of the birds
turned mean. They would
dive bomb us and try to
peck me even though we had
fed them out of my own
pocket.
And others birds were
boisterous and loud. They
sat on the feeder and
squawked and screamed at
all hours of the day and night
and demanded that we fill it
when it got low on food.
After a while, we couldn’t even
sit on my own back porch
anymore. So we took down the
bird feeder and in three days
the birds were gone. We cleaned
up their mess and took down
the many nests they had built
all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like
it used to be … quiet, serene
and no one demanding their
rights to a free meal.
Now let’s see ….
Our government gives out
free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care, and free
education and allows anyone
born here to be an automatic
citizen.
Then the illegals came by the
tens of thousands. Suddenly
our taxes went up to pay for
free services; small apartments
are housing 5 families; you
have to wait 6 hours to be seen
by an emergency room doctor;
your child’s 2nd grade class is
behind other schools because
over half the class doesn’t speak
English.
Corn Flakes now come in a
bilingual box; I have to
‘press one’ to hear my bank
talk to me in English, and
people waving flags other
than ‘Old Glory’ are> >>>
squawking and screaming
in the streets, demanding
more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe
it’s time for the government
to take down the bird feeder.
If you agree, pass it on. If not, continue cleaning up the
poop!

Funny computer stuff there Nighthawk, sounds familiar, I saw a stripped out XP installed on a 486sx25 with 64meg of memory I think, about 6 years ago because the guy wanted to see if he could do it.
Vista shows that MS/gates is in bed with the hardware industry fur shure. I think a computer should last 5-10years, alot of “nerds”/geek/gurus/hackers/gamers
think you need to spend $1000bucks a year on hardware. I have several older computers that were set up with striped out XP as there are a bunch of stuff that is security risky and takes up system resources that dont most don’t need or should not use. Like system restore(can be usefull but you should keep all drivers & disks handy to reinstall stuff that glitches out,
I use fox pdf viewer, for instance instead of others that put junk in the registry, limit the sytem tray to 4-5 items , turn off alot of the special effects features that over tax memory.
I am able to view such as youtube video using a 701mhz Athalon (hate pIIIspy)processor with only 384megabytes of ram (need 512) and have 2 browsers running with 7 0r 8 windows open, listen to a radio net with media player and post on a blog. SO WHY DO I “NEED” vista or the latest unobtainium gigablitz puters unless they force it by shutting down support and updates like they did with 98se and ME ?
(Supposedly there are folks doing unauthorised updates to what they call opensourced 98se but?)
Once I got ME running fairly bug free I hated to got to xp but my firewall quit supporting it so I was force to about 2yrs ago, still makes me mad cause XP dosent run my old Yeager flight simulater (game) right.

That Bird thang is pretty appropriate for alot of demographics ‘rounchere’ as well as “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”
or “expect somethin free and complain about it when they get it” types.
There are a couple of versons of “On Democrasy and Cows” out there and the
swamp pigs being tamed that are also good…
The Wild and Free Pigs of the Okefenokee Swamp
by Steve Washam
based on a telling by George Gordon
Some years ago, about 1900, an old trapper from North Dakota hitched
up some horses to his Studebaker wagon, packed a few possessions–
especially his traps–and drove south.
Several weeks later he stopped in a small town just north of the
Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia.
It was a Saturday morning–a lazy day–when he walked into the general
store. Sitting around the pot-bellied stove were seven or eight of the
town’s local citizens.
The traveler spoke, “Gentlemen, could you direct me to the Okefenokee
Swamp?”
Some of the oldtimers looked at him like he was crazy.
“You must be a stranger in these parts,” they said.
“I am. I’m from North Dakota,” said the stranger.
“In the Okefenokee Swamp are thousands of wild hogs,” one old man
explained. “A man who goes into the swamp by himself asks to die!”
He lifted up his leg. “I lost half my leg here, to the pigs of the
swamp.”
Another old fellow said, “Look at the cuts on me; look at my arm bit
off!”
“Those pigs have been free since the Revolution, eating snakes and
rooting out roots and fending for themselves for over a hundred
years. They’re wild and they’re dangerous. You can’t trap them. No
man dare go into the swamp by himself.”
Every man nodded his head in agreement.
The old trapper said, “Thank you so much for the warning. Now could
you direct me to the swamp?”
They said, “Well, yeah, it’s due south–straight down the road.”
But they begged the stranger not to go, because they knew he’d meet
a terrible fate.
He said, “Sell me ten sacks of corn, and help me load them into the
wagon.” [This is where I figured out where this story was going... Uncle Romulus]
And they did.
Then the old trapper bid them farewell and drove on down the road.
The townsfolk thought they’d never see him again.
Two weeks later the man came back. He pulled up to the general store,
got down off the wagon, walked in and bought ten more sacks of corn.
After loading it up he went back down the road toward the swamp.
Two weeks later he returned and, again, bought ten sacks of corn.
This went on for a month. And then two months, and three.
Every week or two the old trapper would come into town on a Saturday
morning, load up ten sacks of corn and drive off south into the
swamp.
The stranger soon became a legend in the little village and the
subject of much speculation. People wondered what kind of devil had
possessed this man, that he could go into the Okefenokee by himself
and not be consumed by the wild and free hogs.
One morning the man came into town as usual. Everyone thought he
wanted more corn.
He got off the wagon and went into the store where the usual group
of men were gathered around the stove. He took off his gloves.
“Gentlemen,” he said, “I need to hire about ten or fifteen wagons.
I need twenty or thirty men. I have six thousand hogs out in the
swamp, penned up, and they’re all hungry. I’ve got to get them to
market right away.”
“You’ve WHAT in the swamp?” asked the storekeeper, incredulously.
“I have six thousand hogs penned up. They haven’t eaten for two or
three days, and they’ll starve if I don’t get back there to feed and
take care of them.”
One of the oldtimers said, “You mean you’ve captured the wild hogs
of the Okefenokee?”
“That’s right.”
“How did you do that? What did you do?” the men urged, breathlessly.
One of them exclaimed, “But I lost my arm!”
“I lost my brother!” cried another.
“I lost my leg to those wild boars!” chimed a third.
The trapper said, “Well, the first week I went in there they were
wild all right. They hid in the undergrowth and wouldn’t come out.
I dared not get off the wagon. So I spread corn along behind the
wagon. Every day I’d spread a sack of corn.
“The old pigs would have nothing to do with it. But the younger pigs
decided that it was easier to eat free corn than it was to root out
roots and catch snakes. So the very young began to eat the corn first.
“I did this every day. Pretty soon, even the old pigs decided that
it was easier to eat free corn, after all, they were all free; they
were not penned up. They could run off in any direction they wanted
at any time.
“The next thing was to get them used to eating in the same place all
the time. So, I selected a clearing, and I started putting the corn
in the clearing.
“At first they wouldn’t come to the clearing. It was too far. It was
too open. It was a nuisance to them.
“But the very young decided that it was easier to take the corn in
the clearing than it was to root out roots and catch their own
snakes. And not long thereafter, the older pigs also decided that it
was easier to come to the clearing every day.
“And so the pigs learned to come to the clearing every day to get
their free corn. They could still subsidize their diet with roots
and snakes and whatever else they wanted. After all, they were all
free. They could run in any direction at any time. There were no
bounds upon them.
“The next step was to get them used to fence posts. So I put fence
posts all the way around the clearing. I put them in the underbrush
so that they wouldn’t get suspicious or upset, after all, they were
just sticks sticking up out of the ground, like the trees and the
brush. The corn was there every day. It was easy to walk in between
the posts, get the corn, and walk back out.
“This went on for a week or two. Shortly they became very used to
walking into the clearing, getting the free corn, and walking back
out through the fence posts.
“The next step was to put one rail down at the bottom. I also left
a few openings, so that the older, fatter pigs could walk through
the openings and the younger pigs could easily jump over just one
rail, after all, it was no real threat to their freedom or
independence–they could always jump over the rail and flee in
any direction at any time.
“Now I decided that I wouldn’t feed them every day. I began to feed
them every other day. On the days I didn’t feed them, the pigs still
gathered in the clearing. They squealed, and they grunted, and they
begged and pleaded with me to feed them–but I only fed them every
other day. Then I put a second rail around the posts.
“Now the pigs became more and more desperate for food. Because now
they were no longer used to going out and digging their own roots
and finding their own food, they now needed me. They needed my
corn every other day.”
“So I trained them that I would feed them every day if they came in
through a gate and I put up a third rail around the fence.
“But it was still no great threat to their freedom, because there
were several gates and they could run in and out at will.
“Finally I put up the fourth rail. Then I closed all the gates but
one, and I fed them very, very well.”
“Yesterday I closed the last gate and today I need you to help me
take these pigs to market.”

The price of free corn
The parable of the pigs has a serious moral lesson. This story is
about federal money being used to bait, trap and enslave a once free
and independent people.
Federal welfare, in its myriad forms, has reduced not only
individuals to a state of dependency; state and local governments
are also on the fast track to elimination, due to their functions
being subverted by the command and control structures of federal
“revenue sharing” programs.
Please copy this parable and send it to all of your state and
local elected leaders and other concerned citizens. Tell them:
“Just say NO to federal corn.”
The bacon you save may be your own.

This same concept has been shown to work on Russian foxes and even wolves tamed and bred selectively over several generations their fur coats colors naturally change to more dog-like as well as temperment, geeee what other flashcut overnight “evolutionary” changes over just a few years or decades can be done to say a population of self -reliant formerly independent men and women by their shadowy financial wizards of oz (ounces of gold)
and their egg-head social engineer stooges???

Dear friends and family,
UPDATE ON THE PRAYER REQUEST:
Prayer works!!!
This church group turned out not to get their application to stage a protest submitted in time. It isn’t off, but it is certainly postponed. Meanwhile the commanders at Le Jeune have issued a direct order that no Marine is to be anywhere near the protesters when they do come. They don’t want any chance it will erupt into something even uglier or something dangerous to anyone’s life.
The mood on base is considerably lighter now, and they are even able to joke about it. I have no doubt that it is due to many prayers that this has happened.
Thank you for yours!
Tina

Just remembered, the right file name is WINA286 renamed to WINA386. Installed 95 on a 286, then when I downloaded CD drivers upgraded it to Win 98.
Which reminds me that I have a couple of 386 boards, some empty towers, and such (and Tiny XP).
Now all I need is A LOT of spare time.
I still have a 8086 and 8088 or two out in the shed that do dedicated jobs now and then.
Hackers have seem to have become confused over the years, It’s supposed to be all about doing more with less, not spending $1000 every year.

This is about the church group from Kansas that has been showing up at funerals until reciently, saying that the troops are fighting to protect people that practic homosexuality or something? John Lee Malvo/ Mohammed the sniper team brought up the practice of some muslims of taking on a young boy to “mentor” and it being a sodomite relationship in certain cases; the babalonian Talmud and Rabbincal teachings of certain sects of jews have guidelines for when it is ok to buggar a boy and not owe the parents any money for injuring their son? WEIRD world aint it? OF course I won’t go into detail on how they talk about Yeshua the Nazerine and his mother, lets just say accourding to their writings he is boiling and she was supposedly held down by a centurian to be defrocked.
SO as you can see there are ways to get these folks motivated to protest like they do, if you want to know about it and not just call them nuts or stupid; they have rational thought as much as anyone, just a lack of ignor-ance about certain groups double standards/dicotomy/hyprocrasy.

On the antenna discussion a while back;
I haven’t been able to find a chipset to keep audio and video in sync.
Auto tune either gives me good audio and bad video, or the reverse. Not a problem with the old rotary (manual) tuning sets.
Maybe I can trace down the circuit and install a variable in there without smoking the tuner.
The neighbor has a donor set that needs a new colorburst Xtal anyways… So what’s to loose?

NASA was needing 8086 chips and such a few years ago for some dianostic boards that plugged into the shuttle’s solid rocket boosters and was scouring EBAY for the retro puter parts…

That old computer in your basement? NASA is not interested. The agency and its contractors do not buy equipment from individuals, instead using Web searches to find stockpiles of old parts. Then they buy in bulk.

On 8VSB antenna DTV lip-sync (sound and piture lag) is comming from the transmitter signal (you cant try turing off the power and reboot the tuner and it may sync back up if it is somehow in your set or tuner, I have seen this on FTA and other digital satellite signals and if resetting the power does not fix it , it is in the feed from the network or nutton you can do.
I have seen some blogs discussing this and there are expensive sync boxes that stations can get that is supposed to detect and fix this delay between pitures and sound. DTV still has alot of bugs to work out, wont suprise me if the next president is pressured to extend the deadline. New York City already has a delay in analog shutdown due to 9/11/01 or so I have read.

Cable TV (&dish to some extent have taken the ‘tude that their’s will be a “Natural transition” to “digital” (not HDTV) BTW-by the way that could take 20years…
(after all people were still buying black and white CRT new portable tvs just a few years ago at “dollar” stores
80years after B&W TV was unveiled.
OTA 8VSB DTV forum mentions several sides/factors of the confusion:
…”The TV stations in New York City are still dealing with the impact of losing their transmitter sites on the World Trade Center, but at least all the major network affiliates are on the air. An interesting experiment is being conducted in NYC to see if the use of a network of low power, same-channel transmitters can provide better coverage of the NYC market than a single large antenna mounted on the Empire State Building . . .
This aint cornfusing nuff fer ya there’s more to the story…

“Early adopters” have to put up with the bugs and there are still bugs that need squashed, but reception and quality is getting better as the manufaturers quit skimping on tuners filters and such to fix the “cliff effect
