Enter your Diaspora “seed,” a personal web server that stores all of your information and shares it with your friends. Diaspora knows how to securely share (using GPG) your pictures, videos, and more. When you have a Diaspora seed of your own, you own your social graph, you have access to your information however you want, whenever you want, and you have full control of your online identity. Once we have built a solid foundation, we will make Diaspora easy to extend to facilitate any type of communication, and the possibilities will be endless.
For a little more detailed explanation, checkout this blog post.
What is the project about?
We believe that privacy and connectedness do not have to be mutually exclusive. With Diaspora, we are reclaiming our data, securing our social connections, and making it easy to share on your own terms. We think we can replace today's centralized social web with a more secure and convenient decentralized network. Diaspora will be easy to use, and it will be centered on you instead of a faceless hub.
1. Generators (Good ones cost dearly. Gas storage, risky. Noisy...target of thieves; maintenance etc.)
2. Water Filters/Purifiers
3. Portable Toilets
4. Seasoned Firewood. Wood takes about 6 - 12 months to become dried, for home uses.
5. Lamp Oil, Wicks, Lamps (First Choice: Buy CLEAR oil. If scarce, stockpile ANY!)
6. Coleman Fuel. Impossible to stockpile too much.
7. Guns, Ammunition, Pepper Spray, Knives, Clubs, Bats & Slingshots.
8. Hand-can openers, & hand egg beaters, whisks.
9. Honey/Syrups/white, brown sugar
10. Rice - Beans - Wheat
11. Vegetable Oil (for cooking) Without it food burns/must be boiled etc.,)
12. Charcoal, Lighter Fluid (Will become scarce suddenly)
13. Water Containers (Urgent Item to obtain.) Any size. Small: HARD CLEAR PLASTIC ONLY - note - food grade if for drinking.
16. Propane Cylinders (Urgent: Definite shortages will occur.)
17. Survival Guide Book.
18. Mantles: Aladdin, Coleman, etc. (Without this item, longer-term lighting is difficult.)
The city is considering allowing for the following:
I live in Springfield and don't have a problem with people having hens that are well cared for and under control. It would make sense that if people are choosing to have hens to have fresh eggs and healthy meat, then they would care for those animals even more attentively than some care for their canine and feline companions.
It was also discussed at the meeting that hens lay eggs two weeks on, two weeks off. Additionally, if a few birds were cycled out and consumed as meat, new chicks would need to be introduced to the coop and wouldn't lay for several months. Based on what appeared to be feedback from knowledged chicken owners who want the new regulation to allow them access to as much food from their own yard as possible, my recommendation would be the following:
Sen. Christopher Bond ~ Voted Nay
274 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Web Contact FormSen. Claire McCaskill ~ Voted Nay

All the Audit the Fed bill was looking for was transparency. Well, Kit Bond and Claire McCaskill don't think you should be allowed to see what they are doing with your money.
That speaks loudly and clearly that they are not representing you. Am I wrong, Senator Bond? Senator McCaskill? What am I missing here? Comment below?
BAILOUTS
Dr. Paul opposes all federal bailouts of private industry. America is the land of opportunity, to succeed and to fail. It’s time our government starts promoting responsibility. (View Video | Read More)
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Defending our Country is the most important function of the federal government. When we are threatened, it is the obligation of our representatives to unleash the full arsenal of power that is granted by and derived from free men and women. (View Video | Read More)
INFLATION
And every dollar we print to service our debt, reduces the value of the money in your pocket. Rand will fight to strengthen the value of our Dollar so our purchasing power is not destroyed by the sneakiest tax of all: inflation. (View Video | Read More)
A very visual, very logical argument.
This image's power is that it promotes such an objective, scientific perspective when approaching a topic that is almost always approached from emotion and religion. Your body will dump a pregnancy if it comes under physical stress, health issue or resource deprivation. It seems to me, that it is built into our physical structure that the environment in which a baby is delivered is an important consideration when evaluating naturally whether or not the pregnancy completes, even after the point of conception. Why not allow your complex and powerful mind to add to that evaluation of the environment? Especially in the initial stages of pregnancy, to reserve an option to override the pregnancy if the impending environment won't promote the babies health, balance and best chance to excel. What is the harm, if neither the mother nor a baby is "harmed" by the mother's decision to remove the zygote. After all, it's called a zygote, because it isn't a baby. Right?
The War on Drugs is a failure. Not because it isn't a well meant effort, but because it is a bloated waste of money, energy and resources on an approach that was doomed to fail from the start. Stop handing government the responsibility of protecting us from things that a little local community and family education can just as effectively fight. Don't you get it? We are spending our money on cocaine. I'm not, but 'we' as a collective US consumer is spending money on this drug.
Regulate cocaine and the person who would use it will use something else. Fight physically to stop it at the border and the awaiting consumer dollars make it well worth the effort for the importers to find the easiest way to skirt the regulation. At this point, do you not realize that you, as a government, are fighting against the demand of your citizens to buy a drug that they want? How stupid or self motivated are you to fight that battle? So, part of your population wants what another part doesn't want them to have. Should you take it upon yourselves to spend everyone's money to attempt to stop the fulfillment of that purchase? No.
If you are the federal government, stop trying to protect state citizens from themselves, that isn't your job. Your job is to represent all states as we attempt to protect our freedoms and maintain our safety from invasion and control from international interests. If you represent over half the population in an anti-drug issue, stop infringing on the rights of the rest of the population with laws that are an obstruction of freedoms. Don't condone attempts to forcefully restrict or manipulate desires and behaviors. Instead, turn it back on states and communities to educate and lead by example at the community level so that all may have the life they want.
It is made painfully clear that the federal United States government is willing to overstep its bounds through attempts to enforce it's conflicting laws in California where state law is legalizing marijuana in a loosely regulated medical capacity. This is a state issue and obviously an exercised freedom, voted upon by state citizenry. The federal government needs to stand down and should relinquish control of a huge portion of it daily operations back to the control and interest of the state governments. Period.
Individual rights to produce food for yourself and your community is threatened twice over: first by the once defeated NAIS reborn as Animal Desease Traceability and second by the state bill SB795.
There is a new push happening for the National Animal ID System (NAIS) under the new name Animal Disease Traceability. Missouri has relied on our own internal means of managing animal disease issues for the last 100 years and has no need for Federal watch dogging and regulation by unelected committee. In addition, as Missouri moves back toward a local and community food supply chain we'll be in even better shape to rely on our successful 100 year disease management record.
Why should you care or speak out?
Whether or not this bill was written to eventually away our rights, this legislation sets up a committee of unelected members imparting regulation on our food supply chain, opening us up to eventual abuse of power by corruption and/or big industry influence. This is unacceptable as it threatens our ability to feed ourselves, the key part of retaining independence.

About Me:
I love to travel, then return home. In projects, I dig the details, when they compliment the greater perspective. I adore good design and applaud inspired implementation. Simplicity is king; functionally and in form.
