<span name="KonaFilter">The
Declaration of Independence was authored in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson,
with the help of fellow political leaders, such as John Adams and
Benjamin Franklin. Ratified on July 4th, 1776, the Declaration of
Independence became the first political doctrine of its kind, advocating
for a governing body whose purpose was to serve the citizens that it
represented - a contrast of the British monarchy under which the
citizens of the United States had been subject prior to the
Revolutionary War. Furthermore, the doctrine diagrammed a central
government whose power resulted from the consent of its citizens to be
governed.The Declaration of Independence established the newly-formed
United States of America as a sovereign nation, cutting all ties - both
political and gubernatorial - with the British monarchy. The text of the
Declaration of Independence not only confirmed the autonomy of the
United States of America, but also outlined the various transgressions
committed by the British monarchy under King George III.</span>

<b>Lack of Governmental Power</b><b><br /></b><br />
Thomas
Jefferson credited political philosopher John Locke with much of the
inspiration for democratic ideology that he had implemented in his
authorship of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson had been
particularly moved by Locke’s notion of a just governing body. Locke
stated that every citizen would be entitled to inherent rights and
liberties that could not be removed by any governmental body. In
addition, Locke stated that the citizens grant their respective
government permission to govern them, and as a result, the true power is
in the possession of those citizens, rather than any governing
body.Thomas Jefferson took Locke’s notion a step further by laying the
groundwork for a system of checks and balances, in which a central
government is split into separate factions, thus preventing totalitarian
rule. The separate branches of government would be required to work in
tandem in order to act.<br />
<br />
<b>Implications and Image for The Constitution</b><b><br /></b><br />
In
1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by all of the 13
states of the newly-formed United States of America, and the
implications of the doctrine were apparent. Not only was the United
States establishing its sovereignty as an autonomous nation, but the
authors of the Declaration of Independence cited what they believed to
be fundamental flaws and inefficiencies of the British monarchy under
King George III. By doing so, they allowed for a contrast between a
totalitarian ruling body operating with absolute power and an elected
central government; a government that would be required to act as a
public servant, protecting the interests and rights of its citizens. In
addition, as a sign of diplomatic faith, the Declaration of Independence
not only demanded the release of all British prisoners being held
captive in the United States, but a return of all British loyalist
property unjustly seized subsequent to the end of the Revolutionary War.<br />
<br />
<b>General Message and Authorship</b><br />
<br />
The
Declaration of Independence not only illustrated the contempt for
totalitarian, monarchical rule on the part of political figureheads such
as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, but also
elucidated what they considered to be the fundamental flaws of a
tyrannical infrastructure that utilized absolute power in order to
maintain dominance over its subjects. The Declaration of Independence
expresses a clear philosophical message that highlights the
incorporation of humanism in the development of the ideal creed to which
a democratic central government would adhere.<br />
<br />
The authors of
the Declaration of Independence placed their respective faith and trust
in both the ability as well as the judgment of the citizens of the
United States, both present and future. By allowing the citizens of the
United States the opportunity to not only elect their governing body,
but also the opportunity to choose to be governed by that elected body,
some political philosophers consider the Declaration of Independence to
be the a prototype for humanistic political theory. </div>

<h3 class="post-title" style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://constitution.laws.com/preamble">http://constitution.laws.com/preamble</a></h3>
<div class="post-title" style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b><span name="KonaFilter" style="font-weight: normal;">The Preamble to the
United States Constitution was written after the rest of the
Constitution had already been completed in a first draft. The United
States Constitution was submitted to a Style Committee, which then
revised the Constitution and also added the Preamble. This Committee was
headed by Governor Morris of Pennsylvania, and he is often given the
credit for having written the Preamble, even though historians cannot be
absolutely confident as to whether it was written by him or another man
within the Style Committee.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 4px;">
The significance of the Preamble to the rest of the United
States Constitution has remained a topic to be debated for many years.
The Preamble, though very short, presents a basic set of assumptions and
concepts which many interpreted as having legal force. It establishes
the basic intent for the Constitution, along with a basic understanding
of the core ideas in the establishment of the Constitution, such as the
fact that the Constitution was being ratified not by individual states,
which would have been the only entities governed by the United States
Constitution if they had been the ones ratifying it, but was instead
being ratified by the people.<br />
<br />
The issue of whether or not the
Preamble actually bears legal significance, however, was not immediately
clear, especially because of the fact that many parties existing at the
time of the Constitution's inception believed that the Preamble
provided all the necessary information which the Bill of Rights might
have provided, thereby eliminating the need for a separate Bill of
Rights. In general, at this point in American history, the Preamble is
considered to have no genuine legal power. It does not grant rights to
citizens, nor does it grant powers to the states or to the Federal
Government that are not granted elsewhere in the United States
Constitution. It does, however, explain some of the motivations and
intent of the United States Constitution and it, furthermore, explains
some of the basic tenets under which the United States Constitution
operates.<br />
<br />
The Preamble provides a strong enough guide that it
can influence policy in certain decisions and situations, as it can lead
to an understanding of if or when certain principles should apply. A
given statute, for example, would exist in law outside of the Preamble
to the United States Constitution, but the exact interpretation and
implementation of that statute could be influenced by the nature and
language of the Preamble.<br />
<br />
This means that many elements of the
Preamble to the United States Constitution have been dissected and
re-examined and dissected again over the years, as many have argued
about exactly the way in which the Preamble should be interpreted. For
example, understanding exactly what is meant when the phrase "People of
the United States" is used is important to understanding the rest of the
Constitution and how it should be interpreted.<br />
<br />
The
understanding of the United States mentioned in the Preamble, for
example, has been taken to mean parts of the world that are under the
control and domain of the United States, but may not actually be part of
the Union. Similarly, understanding the meaning of "We the People"
bears great significance. So while the Preamble to the United States
Constitution may not have any inherent legal power, it is highly
important for understanding the Constitution as a whole and how it comes
into play in any given situation. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://constitution.laws.com%20/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://constitution.laws.com </a><br />
The first three Articles of
the United States Constitution set up the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial
Branches of Government
that comprise the structure of the United States governing body. Article III of
the Constitution deals specifically with the Judicial Branch of the United
States, providing for the general architecture of the judicial system.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Section 1 of Article III states that there should be a
sole high court, the Supreme Court, that shall have the vested judicial powers
of the United States. However, it also provides for
inferior courts to help with the function of the judicial system and to allow
for a better structure to delegate judicial power. </div>
It is of worthy note that the Constitution does not
actually provide for an established number of judges to hold office in the
Supreme Court. Article III only requires that there be only one Federal
court. However, the number of Supreme Court Justices
would be established later through additional statutes,
setting the number at nine. There is one Chief Justice and
eight Associate Justices
appointed to the Supreme Court.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 4px;">
<b>Federal Judiciary Act of 1789:</b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2808601526997548535" name="dwvo"></a><b><br />
</b><br />
The Federal Judiciary Act of 1789 was the landmark
statute that was introduced in the first session of the United State Congress. The
Judiciary Act established the Unites States Federal Judicial Branch. Article
III of the United States Constitution states that one Supreme Court is to be
vested with the nation's judicial powers. Initially, this provision was met
with dispute and opposition, for many feared that establishing all judicial
powers into a single court would leave the door wide open for tyranny. Many of
the opponents suggested that the Supreme Court powers be delegated among local
courts as well. However, Congress would establish the Supreme Court with the
intentions of having broader jurisdiction of the Federal power, which would
allow for enforcement of national laws at the State level. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Act
would give the Supreme Court jurisdiction over all civil matters between
states, the states and the United States, and over matters dealing with
ambassadors and diplomatic officials. The Act would also state that there would
be six Supreme Court Justices, one being a Chief Justice and the other five
being Associate Justices. </div>
The Judiciary Act would also create both the Office of Attorney General
and the United States Marshal’s Service that would serve each individual
judicial district also created by the Act. These judicial districts were
created in each of the eleven states that ratified the Constitution. Each State
would have one district, with the exception of Massachusetts and Virginia, each
of which would have two. The Judiciary Act of 1789 would also allow for the
power of the Supreme Court to issue writs of mandamus, but this would later be
declared unconstitutional in the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison.<script type="text/javascript">

<span name="KonaFilter"> </span>The United States Constitution is in essence, the framework
for the organization of the United States government and more
specifically for the relationship of the federal government with its
states and citizens of the country.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 4px;">
<br />
The Constitution, which was
drawn up by the founding fathers of the United States following the
Revolutionary War, created the three branches (the legislature, the
bicameral Congress; an executive branch which is led by the President; a
judicial branch headed by the Supreme Court) of the United States
Federal Government. In addition to the creation of such branches, the
United States Constitution specifies powers and responsibilities to each
branch. The United States Constitution reserves all unremunerated
powers to the individual states and to the people of the nation; this
relationship effectively established the democratic system of government
in the United States.<br />
<br />
The United States Constitution was adopted
on September 7, 1878 by the Constitutional Convention; the document was
ratified by conventions in each U.S. state in the name “of the people
of the United States.”<br />
<br />
The United States Constitution is the
framework for which America’s society is based off of. The Constitution
awards individual citizens of the United States with undeniable rights
and privileges, in addition to separating the powers of the governing
bodies. Furthermore, the United States constitution developed and
organized the relationship between the federal government of the United
States and the localized state governments that comprise the Union. As a
result of this framework, a body of law is dedicated to the United
States Constitution.<br />
<b><br /></b><b>Constitutional Law</b><br />
<br />
Constitutional law is the body of law which deals with distribution and exercise of government authority.<br />
<br />
All
states in the United States possess some form of Constitution or at
least a general law of the land that will consist of a variety of
consensual legal issues. Such laws or rules may include statutory law,
judge-made law, customary law or conventions.<br />
<br />
Constitutional laws
govern the relationship between the legislature, the judiciary and the
executive bodies within the governing system. One of the fundamental
tasks of constitutional law is to indicate hierarchies and relationship
of power. When a constitution establishes a federal state, the framework
will identify the several levels of government which coexist with
exclusive or shared areas of jurisdiction over the application of
enforcement and lawmaking powers.<br />
<br />
In addition to the organization
of governmental powers, a constitution will also govern the rights of
the individual citizens against the state. All states and the federal
government as a whole possess a codified constitution with a developed
bill of rights. This section of the constitution establishes the
individual citizen’s undeniable rights and liberties. Any issues where a
governing body strips an individual of these rights may be evaluated in
a court of law.<br />
<b><br /></b><b>The Rule of Law</b><br />
<br />
The
Constitution possesses a doctrine known as the rule of law, which
dictates the protocol for which governing bodies and their subsequent
actions must be conducted. In essence, the Rule of law is the separation
of powers between different governing bodies. </div>

Here's an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information :<br />
<br />
About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the Middle East put together." Please read below.<br />
<br />
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana ..... check THIS out:<br />
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5...3 trillion.<br />
<br />
"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.<br />
<br />
"This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reportsThe Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana , through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves..... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!<br />
<br />
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from 2006!<br />
<br />
U.. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World<br />
<br />
Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006<br />
<br />
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?<br />
<br />
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.. Here are the official estimates:<br />
<br />
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia<br />
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq<br />
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait<br />
- 22-times as much oil as Iran<br />
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen<br />
- and it's all right here in the Western United States .<br />
<br />
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY?<br />
<br />
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.<br />
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?<br />
<br />
Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:<br />
<br />
Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices - by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.<br />
<br />
Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.<br />
<br />
By the way...this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!!<br />

<br />
Isn’t it nice to see we as citizens no longer matter to the courts, elected officials and of course politicians , when you check out the link below and read what transpired last week in the Indiana Supreme Court, you may likely, no you must ask yourself “when is enough enough!” , is security or the false sense of “safety” in day to day surviving worth giving away or have taken from you and our other fellow Americans our Liberty’s that God has given to us? <br />
<br />
Time appears to be slipping away from “We the People” till we will have no powers, rights or choices of our own free will to make because the so call “caring, nurturing Nanny Gov “ will strip it from us because we have become sheeple, to stupid to know how to eat, raise our children or what light bulbs to use, what insurance to get and how we can use it or not be able too due to the amount of value our lives can contribute to the cause, what cars to buy yet we are smart enough to work and send Nanny.Gov all our money through extortion called taxes, check out all the taxes you pay in just one day of activities.<br />
<br />
Well I for one am a Sheepdog and one of many, a silent mass of Sheepdogs waiting and watching over the sheeple for when those wolves in sheep’s clothing come to abuse, enslave or even worse slaughter the sheeple, we’ll be there to drive away the wolves.<br />
<br />
There is an old movie from mid 1980’s that clearly shows how the eroding of people’s rights leads to unthinkable nightmarish deeds when things like Marxism and Socialism poisons the soul of a nation/country, watch it and see for yourself what happened then and what is happening now, the movie “The Killing Fields” so check your Netflix accounts or other media outlets to view this movie, just do so with paper and pencil, you’ll see why once you start into the movie more.<br />
<br />
<br />
It should be one hell of an eye opener when you look back in history from the start of Marxism nonsense to current affairs.<br />
<br />
Don’t for get to check out the link below a real time erosion going on there.<br />

☺When you pump, look down. About half of those stains are from spilled, dripped, dropped or overflowed gasoline. Be more careful at the pump to get the gas in the tank; not on the ground. <br />
☺Another great read internet search Peak Oil from any search engine and choose the .org one…..”"Big deal. If gas prices get high, I’ll just drive less. Why should I give a damn?" <br />
Because petrochemicals are key components to much more than just the gas in your car. As of the year 2002, approximately 10 calories of fossil fuels are required to produce every 1 calorie of food eaten in the US. Source The size of this ratio stems from the fact that every step of modern food production is fossil fuel and petrochemical powered: Pesticides and agro-chemicals are made from oil; <br />
Commercial fertilizers are made from ammonia, which is made from natural gas, which is also peaking in the near future. Source <br />
Most farming implements such as tractors and trailers are constructed and powered using oil-derived fuels.” End conclusion you should take away: grow a garden! And trees. <br />
Not sci-fi, conjecture, projecture…just plain facts, folks! <br />
☺Watch the movie –FUEL Cinema Libra Studio Blue Water Entertainment by Hero BX Johnny O’Hara and Josh Tickell … if this doesn’t open your eyes, either nothing will or your brain is not comprehending much….or you’ve made a conscious choice to waste your money-me? I’d rather keep mine for me. Look for it in your local library. <br />
☺Slow Moving Vehicles, drivers hauling towing anything…hey, pull over! Let the traffic pass you. If you go 5-10MPH, to be careful for your load, be considerate to the 30-40 cars behind you. We all pay same for gas. Let them pass you instead of making them take 40 minutes to go 10 miles. PS-In some places you can be ticketed for NOT doing this. <br />
☺If you have cruise use it on distance travelling to maintain a constant speed in the engine. <br />
☺Pay cash. Not debit, not credit cold hard cash. Some stations even give cents off per gallon for cash <br />
☺Home, unplug everything, but fridge stove, water heater and plug in as go; use power strips and unplug those also. Don’t charge cell phone overnight. It‘s overcharging..it only needs 1-3 hours. Use CFC bulbs-the dollar stores even sell them cheaper. <br />
☺Remember a hose is just like a straw IT ACHIEVES it’s own level, how can this work for me? What happens before/after I pump? Should I fill up or get few gallons at a time? <br />
☺ Don’t buy fuel if you DON’T need it, just because it dropped a cent or two. If it’s dropping, more than likely in 2/3 more days it will be cheaper. Remember consume all you have, gas does gum up. Keep your car in decent working order, oil change, tires, fluids, etc etc. <br />
☺ When waiting on a pace car in construction zones or stopped in zones, turn your car off. They have those flaggers for a reason, why idle? Your not getting thru any faster even if you ram the car in front of you! And then your really not. Treat work vehicle the same, don’t take the approach, I’m not paying for the gas so who cares? Oh but you are. You pay with higher prices at pump, on your electric, AND that’s your next raise your wasting. Construction & OTR trucks that idle, don’t. I watched a dozer cut and load a side dump truck at site. Took over 30 minutes (I know that because that’s how long it took me to walk past) 30 minutes. The dump truck ran the whole time, with no driver!!!! WHY? And cut warm up times! If you do ½ hour do 15 minutes <br />
☺Skip the plastic bags at the stores, they are made from oil. Taking about 37 million barrels per year! Use cloth or canvas. If you have no choice reuse them all you can. Recycle. FYI-July 4th weekend, I got told by a Wally World cashier that the goal is by 2012, they are going to be charging for those plastic bags, make the switch now! <br />
☺Merge driving, watch for the city bus up ahead; don’t get stuck behind it, even worse (I actually saw this) 4 cars stuck in 4 lane intersection-light changed in rush hour traffic…no one in all four directions could move because of those four cars behind the bus for two light changes. The backup was more than 200 cars. Wow. <br />
☺ Rural mail delivery, why not park & walk those 20-40 boxes rather than idle inch by inch? When was the last time you saw a UPS truck running during a delivery? I never have. I think maybe they have figured out that the idling costs big time money. And there’s the theft issue. Me? I wish it was legal to relocate anyone’s car who does this, just to teach them a lesson. Why do taxis sit idling when waiting on a fare? At hotels in tourist destinations? At airports? Why don’t the cab companies clamp down on this? It’s income out the door! Rental Cars? Turn key off as they inspect for prior damage and show you features. This takes up to 10 minutes, why waste the gas? Why aren’t parking security guards on bikes, golf carts, ATV. They go just as fast thru a lot and places a car cannot and take less fuel? Not to mention cost of vehicle, insurance, plates, and driver. Why do armor trucks idle at pickups? Yet, the delivery companies don’t!!? <br />
☺Buy local .. anything & everything you can meat market, produce, bakery, save fuel bringing things to you. The only people who should not are shut ins. We utilize that ship to me, that it is not a convenience anymore. IT’S killing us at the gas pump. And take a second to read labels, buy American. Best example: White Rain Shampoo/Condition made in USA…VO5 made in Canada ..you paid for freight to truck it here, & sent your purchase dollar out of country <br />
☺ Highway driving …find a semi going slightly faster than you and stay behind 100-200 yards or so…his tailwind sucks you along saving you gas, & he has CB for speed traps. Win win situation. Remember if you can’t see his mirrors … he can’t see you; don’t tailgate. Turn overnight parked Semis, cars, and trucks off at truckstop/rest areas. School buses shut off AT school delivery AM & pickup PM, while loading unloading. Not only safer, cheaper. <br />
☺Keep a copy in your car. And watch when you are doing and others, highlight or check off, look at after three days. Then go OMG! Great kids busy project. <br />
☺Read up, and learn about CAFE standards… do you know cars only have to conform to standards from 1980’s yet our technology has exceeded? Why? Good reads A Declaration of Energy Independence by Jay Hakes;Energy Victory by Robert Zubrin. Use internet for cheapest fuel… don’t then go there get in line and idle wasting 1/8 tank to get ¾. Did you see the new GM Chevy Volt? 232 MPG! Why aren’t they all being made that way? Why aren’t we demanding it? On all cars? <br />
☺Concerts/plays/venues/fairs…take a bus to just to save, but if you drive … don’t sit in lot before & after with car on listening to radio AND after take your time 1) leaving the site just to get to your car and 2) in lot wait for traffic to clear. Or partying in your car with it on … at least turn it off. <br />
☺ Are you aware there are cars that are now being made when there is a 3 second stop, the engine is designed to shut down, to consume fuel. Why not all cars? And if they’re making cars this way … that are smarter than us; hmmm… what are we doing wrong? What does that tell you? Why haven’t you sent the auto mfr an email telling them? After all they just got bailed out with YOUR money. <br />
☺ It may not sound like it belongs here, but it does. Don’t litter. The litter that is on the highway’s is picked up two ways, either employees or volunteers DRIVE out there and bag up, leave at roadside then trash crew comes behind and cleans bags. Your litter creates two additional vehicles on the road to clean up. And they need fuel to get there, that if you were not littering would not be happening, every drop drives up the cost and demand. Guess who pays for that fuel? You do, in taxes. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Trash cans are literally everywhere. Gas stations, stores, malls, your house, parks, etc…throw it in a trash can at your next stop. <br />
☺Is there any value to a toll road? What is it? To go 80-90MPH?...do you need to get there faster? Will 15 minutes make that much difference? ONLY, when you crash on toll road, and then ..to get an EMS to you. <br />
☺ Don’t take spouse/kids/friends anywhere to drop off like mall, library, grocery, store, etc then sit in the parking lot with car on. And don’t circle the lot, Park. Someone said leave copies at pump…altho email also, it’s faster & always there. Turn car off when waiting on a funeral procession, rural mail delivery that gets out of car, loading/unloading. I think places that service autos, ie insurance co, dealers, parts warehouse, etc. should keep a copy on their counters. Waiting AT the bus stop on kids? Turn the car off. If you do this 5 times (we know it’s 10) times a week for even 2 minutes a pop … you wasted gas for 20 minutes ONE WEEK. Reality is about an hour a week. <br />
☺Go right on red all the time, don’t hold up traffic. It is also legal to go LEFT on RED, from a one way street to another one way street with traffic that you merge LEFT into. Mostly in downtown areas. <br />
☺ Please pull forward at pumps avoids others having driving around, and not just at pumps-anywhere. They even post this on the pumps. Drive the lights to avoid brake slow down stopped traffic. Do you realize when you stop to drop off you MAKE all cars behind you stop also? Park. Allow other drivers out in traffic, keeps them going & not just sitting there idling. Look before you start the car anywhere, if your in a parking lot & cars & people are behind you, c’mon you know you’re not going it clears, why idle? <br />
☺Recognize when you are wasting gas, every person's needs are different. <br />
☺ Combine all trips is good, combine all trips with neighbors, friends, relatives is better, and look for stores like Home Depot and Wally World that ad match. One stop shopping. When going out for lunch, ask coworkers if they want anything from where your going-eliminates multiple trips. <br />
☺ Avoid all drive thru’s of any kind…fast food, bank, ATM, pharmacy, even !funeral homes! , etc…park and walk it..consider it exercise, it gets you out of the 4/5/6 deep car idling line. Using the ATM takes about 3-5 minutes- why is your car on? Use the walkup ATM. Waiting on a train? Turn the engine off. Your stuck 5/10 minutes anyway. <br />
☺Forward this to your email contacts, make a bigger impact, use copy and paste; links expire. <br />
☺ Keep prospective and look at prices across the country especially if your planning road trips. Report pumps that are incorrect to department of weights and measures. Best way to test a pump, run one gallon, did it read the posted price? Limit teen drivers cruising. If they go every Friday, make it every other Friday. Choose alternate transportation with less or no fuel … especially for short trips. Even make it your goal say IF it’s 4 blocks, you’ll always avoid driving it. And make it a goal to do this once a week for normal driving use. Don’t mow your lawn if you have grazing animals, let them eat the grass down, and if they go thru your lawn, neighbors?? <br />
<br />
<br />
Now you know what to do … forward…and use copy paste, links expire. Make a bigger impact. Or get ready for gas at the $4 mark. <br />

</div><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">You should be able to read a compass and a map, but in a survival situation you may not have either. In these situations you must turn to the two things that our ancestors used, the sun and the stars. To find direction when the Sun is shining, the rule of thumb is that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West, and at midday in the Northern Hemisphere the Sun will be roughly South. The following are ways which are fun to use and with practice can be quite accurate.<br />
<br />
<b>Shadow Stick</b><br />
<br />
Method 1: Find a flat piece of ground. Find a stick about 12” to 1 yard long and stick or hold it upright in the ground. Mark the tip of the shadow with a stick or stone, wait about 30 minutes and do the same again. A line drawn between the two points will run from West to East, with the first point being West.<br />
<br />
Method 2: This method will take you longer but will be more accurate. Mark your first shadow tip as in (A) in the morning. Now draw an arc at the distance from the stick to the shadow tip, using the stick as the center point in the afternoon, mark the exact spot where the shadow touches the arc. Now join the two points to give the West to East line, with the morning point being West.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Using the Stars</b><br />
<br />
In the Northern Hemisphere, the best signpost is the Plow (Plough), by following a line through the two outside stars you will find the North Star (Polaris). In the Southern Hemisphere, the best signpost is The Southern Cross (Crux). This constellation is not as easy to use or to find as the line Plough, but it is four bright stars in the shape of a cross (don't use the False Cross to its right which has dimmer stars set further apart). Take a line down the cross and also a line down the two bright stars on its left - where these two lines cross is South.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Using an Analog Watch</b><br />
<br />
Using an analog watch for finding direction can only be used if the watch is set to standard time (with no daylight saving). In the Northern hemisphere, hold the watch flat and point the hour hand towards the Sun. Now bisect the angle between the hour hand and the 12 on your watch to give you a North-South line.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span> <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisAz2rpV8eRe7P_dxOEk_hio3mjymNPnLhXi_bSN1l3tz_7DzzOgxUh7n9GaLgyXkb3UAhzeehAXorcW14N2yYCPEaCtsAVuc3Rg9Q4LbD_Jhb5VrmhP7anUawwnnkh7Q2sF8XVSy2B-od/s1600-h/analog.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389881289143305378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisAz2rpV8eRe7P_dxOEk_hio3mjymNPnLhXi_bSN1l3tz_7DzzOgxUh7n9GaLgyXkb3UAhzeehAXorcW14N2yYCPEaCtsAVuc3Rg9Q4LbD_Jhb5VrmhP7anUawwnnkh7Q2sF8XVSy2B-od/s320/analog.gif" style="cursor: pointer; height: 198px; width: 320px;" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In the Southern Hemisphere, hold the watch dial and point the number 12 towards the sun. The line that bisects the angle between the hour hand and the 12 is the North-South line. Note that this method will become less accurate the nearer you are to the equator. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Making your Own Compass</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This will require a needle and a magnet. Stroke the needle in one direction from it's eye to it's point with the magnet, about 25 times. Suspend the needle by a thread half-way along its length and the point of the needle will point North.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHivMBLuBw6JgGUdaCcXv9T5CjjQalKGz47ef7GnGK1VQycRtLy1JIaxUhRu9ZmQFYTyCmJOOjcT3OKJN8JkMY0WTJYCfjP59Xw1U554VKlOHXIPeOZyucGLh5_5p8Q5sdVO7Aa8UDUBP/s1600-h/magnetic.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389881492243403698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHivMBLuBw6JgGUdaCcXv9T5CjjQalKGz47ef7GnGK1VQycRtLy1JIaxUhRu9ZmQFYTyCmJOOjcT3OKJN8JkMY0WTJYCfjP59Xw1U554VKlOHXIPeOZyucGLh5_5p8Q5sdVO7Aa8UDUBP/s320/magnetic.gif" style="cursor: pointer; height: 193px; width: 320px;" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">A another way is to fill a bowl with water and float the needle on a piece of leaf or piece of paper.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Using the Moon</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The moon has no light on its own. We all know that. It reflects the light that comes off the sun. As it orbits the earth over 28 days, the shape of the moon changes. Why is that? Because the shape changes based on the shape of the light reflected according to its position in respect to the sun. When the moon is on the same side of the earth as the sun, no light is visible. This is the "new moon". As the days pass, the moon reflects light from its apparent right-hand side, from a gradually increasing area as it waxes. At the full moon, it is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun and it wanes. The reflecting area gradually reducing to a narrow sliver on the apparent left-hand side. This can be used to decide direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">If the moon rises BEFORE the sun has set the illuminated side will be on the West. If the moon rises AFTER midnight the illuminated side will be in the East. This may seem a little obvious, but it does mean you have the moon as a rough East-West reference during the night.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Natures Way</b></span><b></b><br />
<br />
Have you ever notice that moss tents to grow thicker on the North side of a tree? Maybe you have heard that moss only grows on the North side of a tree and wondered if were true or not. It all depends on where you live. If you live in the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, the moss latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, the south side will grow thicker than on the north side. It may sound like an old folks tale, but it is true. The reason is there is more sun on one side. The middle gets more sun.Kninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13765881597781718748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808601526997548535.post-53259461628143887802010-07-09T20:18:00.002-07:002010-07-09T20:59:03.808-07:00Prepping, it ain't for sissy's, faint and or weak of Heart<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Greeting to any new followers and current followers and Friends of Nog's Preppers blog.<br />I am Pale Rider a friend of Nog and guest blogger, looking forward to sharing concepts and ideals with Nog, Knine and the rest of you.<br /><br />Now on with the show:<br /><br />How many of you are serious about prepping and how many of you is this just warm casual conversation.....be honest.....you'll only hurt yourself and your loved ones if you can't be honest.

<br />
Two motto's to live by; the Boy Scout motto "Always be Prepared" and The Marines motto, "Improvise, Adapt, Overcome."<br />
<br />
We lived through one winter storm here in Kentucky in the early 90’s that left us with 18” of wet snow, temps in the 30’s and below, and no power for 5 days. I had a chimney put in for a wood stove when we built our home. Yep I procrastinated (not good) and I didn’t have my wood stove, lesson learned. After that we bought a whole house wood burning stove.<br />
<br />
But we are survivors, I improvise. I had a king size heated water bed, a wife, a 12 year old daughter, a 120lb Rot and a Golden Retriever we covered the bed with all of the blankets we had to keep the heat in. We all sleep very well. Put hot water bottles in during the day to keep the heat there. I also did a lot of camping at the time, I had a Colemen stove and a Colemen catalytic heater and lanterns (they put off a lot of heat, ventilation a must!). I bought all of this stuff at garage sales. I cordoned off one room with blankets and we stayed in that room. Maintained about 50 degrees. Nice and cozy considering. We Adapted and Overcame. We survived.<br />
<br />
In 2007 we purchased a portable gas powered 1750 KW generator and a transfer switch. All I have to do is plug a cable into my generator and then into the utility box on the outside of our home, then flip the transfer switch. This will run every thing but the electric heat. But, we used up the firewood that we had a week before the storm and didn't order any more. My fault I forgot to order it, won’t happen again!<br />
<br />
Face cord will last us about two weeks. We heated our house with our electric stove. Worked great, but it was eating up our fuel at four dollars a gallon. No big deal I’d just go and get some more gas. I got to the gas station and put my debit card in an nothing, all of the credit card systems at the gas stations in the whole town were down, but they would still take cash. Nope, I didn’t have any cash and all the banks were closed because no one could get to work. Schools were all closed. Road were clear though. So my suggestions to you is please don’t count on your credit cards or debit cards have some emergency cash on hand. Also would suggest getting a smaller generator just to run your refrigerator, heater and a few lights. Because if this lasted longer we would have been out of money real fast. I only get 10 hrs at half load that equals 16 gal of gas. You do the math. Of course gas was only $1.50 at the time of purchase. At lease I was preparing. You have to constantly be thinking of a back up plan.<br />
<br />
The winter of 2009 we had a nasty ice storm an inch thick on the trees. The eerie sounds of breaking branches and trees dropping all day long. We lost power for three days. We were lucky some homes were out much longer and not prepared. But this time I was ready. So I thought.<br />
<br />
I remembered that we did have an old kerosene heater that I picked at garage sale for $5 which we never used (just in case kinda thing). That was in storage. So I went to the storage which is fenced in. To get in you have to put in a pass code, but no electricity so pass code was worthless. There was just enough room between the gate and fence, barely. I managed to shimmy through. I get to the storage and get this heater and bring it home, praying that it will work. I tear it down and the wick was totally disintegrated. So now I have to find a wick an some kerosene. I call one of the local hardware stores, no dice. Then I call the one that never has what I need. Well, it was my lucky day they had only one and the right one.<br />
My wife went to the grocery store to see if she could get some cash from our debit card while I work on getting the wick installed. It didn’t take long, so I called her to see if she managed to get some money; she informed she did. I decided to go and stand in line at the gas station and wait on her. There was thirty people in line when I arrived. It comes my turn. No wife, so I let some people ahead of me. I’m standing there thinking that their going to run out, before she gets here. She arrived shortly after my pessimistic thinking. My main concern was that my daughter and her husband and two infants were staying with us during this storm.<br />
<br />
All’s well! We all sat in our home watching TV, playing with the grand kids, using the computers and cooking dinner. Business as usual. I decided to go outside, it was around 9:00pm to move some of the branches that had fallen on my van and in the yard (no damage). As I stepped outside shivers ran down my spine. I looked over the neighborhood, there wasn’t a single light on, not one. This set me back. If this were a real catastrophe where would all of these people be? Most of these people wound be in dire straights. I sat on my porch and thoughts started to run through my mind. The what if’s, if this lasted a lot longer when a few days turning into weeks then months. I’m preparing for my family. How many people can I help before my family suffers. I’m well armed. God forbid that I have to harm anyone, but my family comes first at all cost. I hope you can understand this. I’ll help where I can. Not for the whole community of unprepared people.<br />
<br />
Don’t count on the government to help! They can only do so much. They were overwhelmed during hurricane Katrina, so we think! Personally in my opinion, I’m betting they were hoping more of those poor people would have died. Of course if they were prepared just a little bit it might not of been so bad. The only one you can count on is yourself. Never count on the government. "Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do when the government's not there for you?" (To the theme song of Cops). This is a mind set that we must maintain until proven other wise. It’s sad when you can’t trust your government or even your neighbor. Especially when they are hungry, cold and have no place to stay. It’s comes to “survival of the fittest” or should we rephrase it and say “Survival of the prepared”.Ignorance is not an excuse! Learn all you can, practice all you can.<br />
<br />
Apparently the message is not getting through to a lot of these people. I’m guessing it mainly the media’s fault. Most people are content with shopping at Wally World (little China) and listening to their favorite music and watching TV. I wish I could say watching the news. The news is a joke in it’s self these day. I guess if TV is all you have Fox/BBC America would be my choice to suggest. The rest are in the government's pocket. If you have the net/web the world is in your hands. It’s up to you to learn what you can. As far as the Politician’s are concerned their all in the pocket of the big corporations and special interest (not the people) and I mean all, with exception of maybe one or two. These corporations are slick they donate to both parties so it doesn’t matter who wins. Corporations are still in control. They have been manipulating us since the 30’s maybe longer controlling the masses is their game and we are such good puppets.<br />
