Pluto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto

another example of how science gets created to keep the old mold. [If you allowed Pluto and similar objects to be classified as planets it would throw the whole 'accretion disk' formation of the solar system into question.] http://chum.ly/n/3f7e69

Some of you might have heard about the Fair Tax initiative in the U.S. It has been attempted every year since the late 90's, and was started by some folks in Texas, because it seemed like our present tax system was getting way out of hand. I just received an email from  FairTax.org www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer and it happened to contain a picture now running in papers around the U.S. that very clearly explains the concept. (There is a lot of mis-information from detractors who would like to see the current plan kept in place, or who want to use it as a scare tactic to defeat a political opponent. I think that if the word gets out so that people truly understand it, the use as a political weapon will backfire.)

Here is the picture.

What's hot in space? - ComputerworldUK.com

 www.computerworlduk.com/slideshow/public-sector/32...space

Here is pretty good visual proof of James McCanney's contention that even planets have comet-like tails, which he explains is evidence of discharging the electrical potential buildup between the sun (net negatively charged) and a positive potential buildup that exists beyond pluto (due to the solar wind). According to McCanney the tail (of comets and other charged bodies moving in the solar system) is actually flowing into the side of the planet/comet opposite the sun, and adds mass, including hydrocarbons and water to the planet/comet, from recombination of elements in the ionized plasma that forms the 'tail'. [His theories about comets have been verified over the years by a number of NASA probes, but they still say that comets are dirty snowballs effervescing in the heat of the sun...

When several planets are 'in alignment', there are direct consequences to the amount of discharge and solar flaring. I wonder if NASA is calling the coming year the Year of the Solar System because they are about to have a coming out party to start 'discovering' what McCanney has held to be 'the way things work' since the 70s. For instance, they might stop saying the comets are dirty snowballs. They might even take the really big step and admit that there are massive electrical affects taking place on the surface of the sun that propagate through the solar system with direct consequences to earth weather. For instance, did you know that there is what McCanney calls the 'August Return Sheet', a location in our solar system through which earth passes during the month of August, where there is a natural discharge flow of positive potential from the outer positive buildup back to the sun.

Thanks for that treat from the past, Marc. I don't believe I ever actually saw Brubeck's group play -- just heard the music. But, I did used to wear glasses like that. http://chum.ly/n/3b1ee5

Good morning all - whatever time of day it is for you.

We've just added a new capability in the 2nd page of user registration and similarly on your Profile settings page; you may now provide links to up to 10 sites or pages that are important to you, and give each of them a title. These will appear near the bottom of your Profile page. Alex and I worked out some of the kinks yesterday, and we thinks it works ok. Try it and give some feedback / opinion. http://chum.ly/n/3b13fb

Hi, seoweather.. and welcome to Chum.ly. If you have any questions about the way things work, just post and one of us here will try to answer.

It looks like you are putting together an interesting weather site with a lot of links to useful weather info, but not quite all plugged in yet. I followed a lot of links but never actually got to any real weather info. Maybe I just chose the wrong links. Or, based on the name of your web site it is an experiment to determine if a lot of links can actually bring that site to the top at search engines. It might work, but getting those backends plugged into tangible weather without making the user take too many hops to find their answer will likely be important. http://chum.ly/n/3b1144

but - to really put guitar playing into perspective, there is always the great Chet Atkins
