Kapex,,,why,,,az good az any -- Bent Rifle, 19:34:11 11/22/09 Sun [1]

http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_08/bloom112109.html

If the gold price runs up further and the US Dollar Index rises from the 75 level then it is arguable that the US Dollar Index has bottomed.

But how could that possibly happen? The US economy is stuffed. The country has too much debt at all levels. Unemployment is rising. Etc etc etc.

It can happen for one reason that this analyst can think of, and that reason revolves around an article which reported on the views of Societe Generale (see: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/6599281/Societe-Generale-tells-clients-how-to-prepare-for-global-collapse.html). In an article entitled "Société Générale tells clients how to prepare for potential 'global collapse'", the bank warns of the possibility that your and my worst nightmare should now be contemplated.

Quote from this article: "Under the French bank's "Bear Case" scenario (the gloomiest of three possible outcomes), the dollar would slide further and global equities would retest the March lows. Property prices would tumble again. Oil would fall back to $50 in 2010."

Now, if you were a big holder of US Dollars (like China or the Arab countries) what would you do? I know what I would do. I would scramble like crazy to accumulate as much gold as I could and I would also scramble like crazy to protect the US Dollar against collapse. I would do both of these things.

to da moon -- Bent Rifle, 08:07:49 11/22/09 Sun [1]

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/KK18Dj01.html

With current Fed policy, gold is headed rapidly toward $2,000 per ounce, probably within six months. The forecasters who see such a price, but suggest it would take four to five years to get there, are ignoring history. Since gold was able to get from $185 to $850 in 18 months in 1978-80, there is no reason why it cannot get from $1,100 to $2,000 in six months now.

What's more, although 1980's peak seemed madness at the time, and was equivalent to nearly $2,400 today, there is no reason why gold cannot go much higher if it is given another year or so to get there. The supply of gold from new mining is around 1 million ounces per year LESS than in 1980, and the supply of speculative capital that could flow into gold is many times greater. Hence, a $5,000 gold price is possible though not certain, if present monetary policy is continued or only modestly modified - and that price could be reached by the end of 2010.

You can run Firefox on Apple.
You can view and/or easily convert jpg files between Windows and Apple.
Spreadsheet and database will be more work, but the data can be passed from Windows to Apple.
If you don't have a network then, in general, legacy stuff will be more difficult to transfer.
The main obstacle with Apple is money. It's all more expensive and it's not wise to fall behind more than one release of both hardware and software.

Are there ANY downsides to APPLE? --

Pyrite, 11:50:22 11/16/09 Mon [1]

I am purely FRUSTRATED with Windows.
I got an update to new version notice from AVG antivirus, followed the plan, installed ( I thought) and promptly made SOME sites unable to LINK FROM.

When I used the link on their site, it simply made Firefox DISAPPEAR (but still running) so I couldn't even get OUT of the site.

Which...

Makes me think of APPLE.

Tell me horror stories about Apple.

Will it:

Run Firefox? (for their indispensable No Script and password memorization feature)

Swap over all my JPG files with no problem?

Need all new software for spreadsheets and databases that I have custom built? And if so, can they be imported somehow?

Those are my MAIN concerns.

Are there others?

The kydex prints less than the leather. It is faster. Both remain in the pocket upon presentation. Kydex mars the finish on the aluminum frame. But as I am not planning on selling it, who cares?

a 12 pound loss in two weeks --

Rack, 21:26:50 11/12/09 Thu [1]

You earned everyone of them pounds. Even the people that never met her now know her through you. A lot of us were lucky enough to know her personally.
I only know of one other couple that are as close as you two.
My aunt and uncle Myrtle and Bill Hawkins. She looked like she was 50 when she was 75 and must be close to 90 now. They gave Bill 5 years to live with his bad heart 30 years ago.
They are always laughing and smiling.
I hope things are coming together for you friend.

tribute to Sondra....You've captured the essence of her
gracefulness and humility and the inseperable bond you
two shared those many years. As Rack said in simple
eloquence the other day, the tears will gradually subside,
the memories overcome the emptiness, and that smile, that
pride of having shared such a wonderful life,will come
back to your face as you look at the photos of your
lost love. Thank you for sharing such personal insights
into the Sondra we all knew and for making us realize,
as you did year ago, what an angel she really was. . . .

Its been my experience that time makes the weeps go away. One day soon you will look at a picture or remember some special time you spent together and smile about it. When you notice you smiled and no longer weep the good feelings will overwhelm you. You will think of her often and be happy to have such great memories.

Just for info --

Pyrite, 14:00:10 11/08/09 Sun [1]

Her competing conditions were working against her.
The onset was sudden.
The day before the hospital admission, she had done her regular 5 mile bike ride with me.
The next day she was quite ill.
We were simply headed over to the lab for her monthly blood work for the Sjogren's. She began shivering violently, going into the fetal position and really ill.
I told her we were going to ER
Besides the above symptoms, her fever was 104.
They admitted immediately.
For the first few days, her fever would run from 102-3 down to 97. Within minutes.
She had gotten a slight bruise from taking a corner too close on her bike a few weeks earlier. With the drugs needed to suppress her vasculitis being such powerful immunosuppressants, the infection ran wild.
Her kidneys began failing and they put in a line for dialysis. She had dialysis which filters the blood and a very scarce procedure with another machine that stops all the blood cells, separates them from the plasma, and adds new plasma. Her platelet counts were so low that she also needed transfusions.
The kidney began to respond favorably but they use heparin as a blood thinner to insert the lines for the dialysis.
To top that off, it was discovered that she had a rare condition that causes heparin to make the cells sticky.
So a clot formed in her arm.
They had to remove the dialysis line and we had to make a decision. The only drug compatible with her varied conditions AND H.I.T (heparin induced thrombocytopenia) is argatropan which has no antidote should bleeding start.
It was necessary to dissolve the clot in her arm and we both agreed to its use.
She began slow improvement. Platelet counts had fallen from 140k to about 30k. She went through quite some misery but things began to respond. The platelets came back to normal and her kidneys began healing to the point that the kidney doc even questioned whether it would be necessary to dialyze at all.
She wanted to have a "cry day" when she was told about the risk of the new drug. I told her that it was time to fight the son of a bitch instead of crying about it.
She bucked up and really started to improve.
She did have a heart attack although the cardiologist is uncertain if it was for real or just a normal reaction to trauma and pain. The enzymes said she had a heart attack, and they put her on telemetry and I could see her EKG every time I came in the hall. It became so steady and even that after several stable days, they felt it was no longer necessary to monitor constantly as the heart seemed weaker than it should be but normal.
On the last day, she was quite eager to come home and was ready to take the pain of having to move around again after two weeks on her back. The muscle atrophy was terrible. But her physical condition made it so that even after all the attacks and insults to her, she still had some reserves.
In the middle of the night she apparently threw up.
(I am blaming myself as I coaxed her to eat something)
Whatever reaction came from the aspiration was enough to blow a blood vessel in her brain.
She went into coma and did not come out.

There are still some issues that I will hit them with regarding a misemployed nurse who INCORRECTLY effectively told Sondra she was a liar.

That agitated her greatly.

More later if necessary.

I am the soft, starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

Our gurl --

Pyrite, 23:28:14 11/05/09 Thu [1]

is ...stable... tonight. That is as good as we've got it since 2 weeks ago.
I don't get excited about ANYTHING no more as it can evaporate the next day.
BUT.... today she is wanting to go home. Big plus.
Not confirmed yet, but the kidneys are returning such better numbers that there's a good chance she will not need dialysis.

I bleeve when I seez.

Still no result on the echocardiogram so it's even unclear if she had a genuine heart attack or was just bein killed by the toxins coursin through her.

The enzymes said it was a heart attack but her condition was in such flux that ALL bets were tentative.

LAST night was the sleepless one. The only blood thinner they can use with her condition is a risky one. She apparently has a ...very.... rare condition where the USUAL thinner actually CREATES clots.

One muddafukka.

Earl, 10:52:48 11/04/09 Wed [1]

It's rare to find a person with a huge amount of understanding and experience on a subject who can write simply and well about it.

Reading Mr. Party’s Gun Bible I got curious about the author and found a link to an online interview with him. Listening to the interview it struck me how understated and reserved the author is in dialogue.

In the interview Boston recalled a conversation with a police officer who asked him, “Why do you have so many guns?” Boston’s answer was simple, polite and the great hope of every law-abiding citizen: “You’ll never have to know if you’ll just leave me alone.”

her office door. I asked her one day what it was for,
and she said so everyone understands not to feck with
her. Chit, it was scarry. They were all crotch shots
in the target. I never did know for sure if she was
shooting low by accident or on purpose.

Heart attack on top of everything else. Almost impossible to coordinate enough specialists to get them all together in the same spot so I can ask EACH how to proceed.
Every issue she has counteracts diagnoses for each new problem. And they're popping up every day.
The heart can't be imaged without contrast, and the dialysis and plasmapheresis gets fucked with the contrast.
I...guess... I'll pick heart over the others as now it's a "family" decision and I'm the only family.
This is shit.
I'm glad she beat me in the pistol shoot though.

Pyrite, 20:51:55 10/27/09 Tue [1]

This fucking place is SPOTLESS! I bin goin assholes an elbows to KEEP it that way FOR her return. My ...ahem... eccentricities are on the MINOR stuff. Like folding my warshed underwear.

SHE meticulously folds and creases and dithers with em til I'm almost scared to have a Hershey squirt.

I... on the other hand.... am more of a ....er... PRACTICAL sort who is not hindered by socks or boxers even if they are only STUFFED in the drawer. (except I line them up ON the dresser...hell, yer gonna put em back on.)
Sorta NEATLY, but not shrink wrapped and vacuum sealed.

I may put the vacuum away though. MY way is to park that sumbitch where the plug is so it can be USED easily. In contrast to HER ...special... "place" for the damn thing that assures the falling out of every fucking "attachment" that came with the monster.

My only real FEAR is that I in a weak deathbed moment agreed to do some of the work to HELP her in contrast to my typing on the forum all day and yellin for her to STFU because I'm lookin at a YouTube link that the bent one has posted.

But, I'm enuff of a prissy asshole that I can not TOLERATE livin in filthy surroundings. Unless it's out huntin or something. But my HOME is clean. Think "firearms." Dirty=bad, Clean = good.

The separation of garbage from "recyclables" has suffered greatly in the past week. Screw it. It's TRASH. Why should ....I.... lug two cans to the damn street to make easier pickins for shipping to China for recycling and sellin back to us?

But.... she will be pleased thatI've even WIPED DOWN THE fucking SHOWER EVERY TIME!

She takes her shower last so she can wipe the glass, scrub the tile, regrout it, polish and reseal the stupid faucet, and find myriad other things to tidy up in the carcass washing area. BLEAH!

THAT has not been kept quite to the same standard.

But it really ain't that bad.

Pyrite, 15:31:45 10/27/09 Tue [1]

With one final whatever pending, the kidney doc stopped in today to say that there was ALMOST no chance of needing dialysis to clear what toxins are left in there. They seem to be peaking and plateauing and generally headed in the RIGHT direction. Or at least...less wrong.

I did a jig in the room. Don't tell the NAACP.

Hospital life is still fraught with nice fun things that need monitoring and horsewhippin though.
Today, I went to get her up and movin an got slammed by the nurse who showed me the BED REST ONLY computer entry.

Which..of course... triggered my well known pacifist tendency to advise her that there better be a DOCTOR in the room in 10 minnits or less. He confirmed that a ..nurse.. probly accidentally maybe inadvertently made that entry.

So, audude, BAIL money may still be an issue.

And he even said he was ordering physical therapy to begin today. She's a bit less dragged out and was even SORTA chipper enough to tell me she was looking forward to ME going home so I'd quit forcing her to do what she hasta do.

Soooooo weak though. But without the kidney hangin over the mess, I'll become a real taskmaster drill sergeant now.

She can't die now that I'm getting into housework and stuff. If I was to be single, Norwester would start pesterin me to marry him just from the impression my lavender sequined strapless gown made on him in Reno.

The next major hurdle will be seein if I can prevent a relapse once she gets a gander at MY style of housekeepin.
The Bulgarian "wad-fold" is perfectly acceptable for clean laundry. She may not find that so.

Thanx for all the nice thoughts. Not out of the woods yet, but I think we're a lot closer to the edge.

This is one motherfucker. I ...planned.... to kick off first.
Paying a very steep price for solitude and independence.
Hard to believe how quickly one can find themselves completely alone.
We really fucked up with our kids.
Don't even really KNOW them anymore.
Watching her deteriorate SO fast is scary.
Today we'll probly get definitive answer on kidney.
Every drug she takes for the Sjogrens fights the various OTHER drugs that could deal with infections and whatever is running her blood pressure from one end of scale to another.

From here out, it APPEARS to now just START a series of EXPERIMENTS to try to find the source of the swelling and repeated fever runs. And then... find the TREATMENT that MIGHT work.

None of this is covered in the "gold" manual of self reliance. I'm pretty sure that it's SUPPOSED to include just a tad of cooperation.

Shit, just a week ago she was doin the 5 mile daily bike rides.

Take NOTHING for granted and be thankful for every day that ends with any degree of certainty.

I'll shut up now. Pathetic when yer closest buddies are an Internet group of like minded and GOOD folks. But spread all over creation.

She has terrific doctors. I've spoken with both the

Both are open, responsive, and sheer MOTHERFUCKERS
for business. I watched the gal in action on the folks
who took her down for the kidney biopsy. (which initially
looks promising) and there is NO room to wiggle out of
that gal's scrutiny and demands. She alone forced the
biopsy to happen even tho they stalled all day vacillating
on whether they would do it Monday or yesterday.
That gal got it done YESTERDAY which will speed the diagnosis
by eliminating at least the kidney.
I spoke with the rheumatologist in the parking lot and
he spent about 20 minutes with me and I have utmost confidence
in him. Contrary to impressions, Kaiser has some terrific
docs once you get to them.

I would trust these guys with my life.... well maybe

I know most of ya think Missuz Pyrite is better'n me --

Pyrite, 14:34:17 10/23/09 Fri [1]

But she's really sick and I thought I'd post it here rather than emails.

An ER visit Wed. turned to hospitalization with very low hemoglobin, fever, tremors, and general badness.

She has had vasculitis (inflamed blood vessels) and it attacked her kidney a couple of months ago but resolved with drugs prior to the fest.

She got a MINOR bruise on her foot from taking a corner too close on her bike.

That's all it took for the foot to infect. With all the immunoSUPPRESSANTS in her, the infection ran amok.

So now she is off the drugs (in order to let the antibiotics work) which allows the inflammation to return with a vengeance.

She had a transfusion last night and she is having some degree of kidney failure. The kidney is worse today and they are gonna biopsy and go from there.

I came home hoping that my luck would hold as every time I've had to come home to do sumpin, they do something important to her. Hopefully, since the biopsy team don't work weekends, they'll follow the pattern and show up before I get back there this afternoon.

It's the hardest fucking thing ...I... have ever faced.
Seeing a loved one, shooting pardner, and fart around pal be in pain is no fucking fun.

I asked the doc for a prognosis and he said death was WAAAAAAYYY out of the picture. I hope he's right.
She looks and feels like shit.

Think sumpin nice an go kiss YER wife fer Pyrite.
You can do more to her, but make sure she is thinking of Pyrite while yer doing it.

That's all. Keep ya posted.

Elk --

IDT, 09:54:01 10/22/09 Thu [1]

Rack: Elk season here in I'm A Ho is short, it opened a couple of weeks ago and ends this weekend. I've seen a couple come out of the woods here, one just down the road from my house. I haven't seen any elk on our property, just a few deer and a moose yesterday morning. Last week we were working in the yard and 11 turkeys came into the yard (within 40 feet of my wife and I). I was about to get the gun when the dumb mutts from up the road ran in and chased them off. I've seen this little group of turkeys a number of times and so maybe I'll get another chance. The season is open until Dec. 15.

No, not here. They post everything so tight that when we do get it there won't be any deer. I quit hunting after I drove 30 miles with everything posted. In ND its open to public hunting if its NOT posted. The last few years have been terrible. Piss on them! I hope the deer eat all their crops. The farmers are always bitch about them and then let no hunters in

The other being a sporadic week-long race riot we had
in Cincy in '01. I learned you want to stay away from
any geographic areas of confrontation unless you are
young enough and stupid enough to need to learn something
else about common sense. In my experience, law enforcement
is awfully busy with what comes to their attention, and
not much else.

All we can get here is piss water. Gotta brew your own if you want any beer with substance. I'm too lazy. May stockpile some brewing supplies per Submariner's advice.

By the way, you can use strikeout in the text of that bill to have the same affect on "food, fuel, clothing and
other commodities, alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives
and combustibles."

food - no comment
fuel - heating, lighting and vehicle fuel?
clothing - party naked!
commodities - Now we know where our stash is going
alcoholic beverages - oops, guess we're not going to party naked
firearms - first to go
explosives - what? no hand grenades?
combustibles - sorry sir, your house appears combustible, we'll have to burn it down so you don't hurt yourself

Student Suspended for Carrying Atlatl --

Pyrite, 11:07:22 10/14/09 Wed [1]

3 yr. old Buford Grit was suspended from his school this morning as a result of his violation of the zero tolerance policy of Joan Baez Preschool.
It was actually a soup ladle that he brought from home to play drums on a fellow student's head, but the security council of the institution decided it looked enough like a deadly atlatl (an aboriginal spear chucker) to trigger the suspension.
Deliberations are ongoing as there are factors in the community who consider any adverse action against spear chuckers to be culturally exclusionary.

ECB-Gold reserves drop by 2 mln euros in week
FRANKFURT, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Gold and gold receivables held by euro zone central banks fell by 2 million euros to 238.2 billion euros in the week ending October 9, the European Central Bank said on Tuesday.

Net foreign exchange reserves in the Eurosystem of central banks fell by 4.1 billion euros to 179 billion euros, the ECB said in its regular weekly consolidated financial statement.

Gold holdings fell because of the sale of gold by one euro zone central bank. The ECB said the move was consistent with the 2009 Central Bank Gold Agreement.

To restrict using prohibitions on the use, sale, dispensing,
distribution or transportation of firearms.

moonshot re: PA bill -- strat, 15:17:36 10/13/09 Tue [1]

...those yahoo can't even spell on that site. They do have a link to the actual text of the bill itself and the only copy regarding guns, pistols, rifles, anf finally fiearms is this:

(3) To control, restrict and regulate by rationing and
using quotas, prohibitions on shipments, price fixing,
allocation or other means, the use, sale, dispensing,
distribution or transportation of food, fuel, clothing and
other commodities, alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives
and combustibles, as may be reasonable and necessary for
emergency response.

Doesn't sound like the TEOTWAWKI to me.
