Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine

Maybe the deal is that China absorb North Korea as the current leader steps down, it then becomes a part of China. They probably already pay for most of it anyway.

this is just an interesting news item about russias push for territory for oil exploration in the arctic. hmmm

Scientists to drill 13,000ft into active volcano in test that could cause earthquake

Scientists are planning to drill 13,000ft into the heart of an active volcano in Italy in an attempt to protect the nearby city of Naples by gauging when it is likely to erupt.

Dear friends, I'm certain most astute readers of this thread can surmise why 'table' salt is pure white and true sea salt isn't.

....."The prevailing viewpoint of modem medicine is that salt is a general poison, like alcohol and tobacco. Salt has been vilified as the great devil at the dinner table. People have been taught since childhood that "salt causes high blood pressure." Books on salt-free cooking are more popular than ever. If you call up the American Heart Association, they will send you brochures on the dangers of salt. The health media are always looking for simple, easy answers that don't require much thinking. Therefore, they routinely present the same, reckless, across-the-board advice to avoid salt whether you desperately need it or not. The tact that our population is a vastly heterogeneous group, with grossly divergent biochemistries, makes no difference to them. The chant is always the same: "Salt is bad!" It’s gone far enough. This dogma must END. 'The idea that salt in the diet has some positive value is totally ignored." - Dr.A.M. Heageny, M.D., Department of Medicine, Leicester, United Kingdom. To present the other side of this controversy, I choose to interview one of the leading proponents of salt in the world. This man is a California biochemist name Dr. Jacques de Langre. Dr. de Langre has been studying the health benefits of salt for over 30 years. He has a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Brussels. He wrote two books on this topic, "Sea Salt's Hidden Powers." and "Sea Salt, the Vital Spark for Life."

1) Keen insight. This would be a prime time for China to flex their collective

muscle. We'll see soon.

2) DHLOS. Respect and gratitude to you. Your input is invaluable. I'm from

Florida, with lots of small children. This is life and death for us. Every

piece of information is a gift.

3) Once again, gratitude to all the brilliant and tireless thinkers and posters.

I, too have spent a huge amount of time and thought on this site, and

am lucky that my family understands and agrees. Figuring this out

is all that really matters right now, in addition to loving my family and

those placed in my life with all that I have. And trying to peacefully accept

that our lives are going to be changed forever, in ways we cannot conceive.

4) I would absolutely purchase several T-shirts, when the slogan is

settled upon; It would commemorate some of the finest thinking

of which I have ever been a (tiny) part

Thank YOU for a lovely post.

Someone end this thread.

Sun at his back, he came riding into camp that hot and dusty afternoon. Surprised us. We were in a foul mood, Prima Donnas standing off the Elmer Gantrys, bravados flexing before the girls, and flower hatted ladies giving dirty looks at the persona-non-grata. To get our attention, the stranger fired his big six guns into the air and shouted “someone end this thread!” We all turned and laughed, then he turned and fled with his golden ringlets flying along behind him.

Hey, thanks pard, we needed that. Things were getting a little tense until you came. Adios!

Your most welcome. Sure does look like it. Would love to be able to watch this Sentinel camera in real time!

China Blocks Crucial Exports to Japan

HONG KONG — Sharply raising the stakes in a dispute over Japan’s detention of a Chinese fishing trawler captain, the Chinese government has placed a trade embargo on all exports to Japan of a crucial category of minerals used in products like hybrid cars, wind turbines and guided missiles...
