My recent scientific research notes for HHO refractors have apparently been making the rounds in the search engines! I found it listed here, on a scientific research search engine; if you click below where it says “more”, it takes you right to our Acme site! Cool! And much tooting of one’s own horn!http://www.hydrogin.com/scientific-research-proposal-notes-for-hho-refractor-study/

You might ask yourself: why do I need to be bothered about natural time? Well, consider the fact that the calendar you most likely use now is pretty well arbitrary, installed by Roman emperors, and has nothing to do with the movement of the planetary bodies or the rhythm of the seasons. The 13 Moon people have a very, very good point about this whole thing, and I encourage you to check this out!
And just to put a personal spin on this: who owns your time? Are you in charge of it, or does it belong to somebody else?
Just food for thought.

Tash is a British photographer who is Goddess-friendly, to say the least. He’s at the forefront of local and global alternative news and happenings in his area of the world. There are many grass-roots movements for social change that we don’t ordinarily hear about, but Tash is bringing these things to the attention of a much larger audience thanks to his work. Thank you Tash! Here’s his website link: http://ia351404.us.archive.org/3/items/OneEyeOnTheRoad/index.htm

Hello everyone!
I’ve been away awhile as my work contract is up, and so have been far, far away from the internet most days. Above is a picture of where I live electricity-free, internet-free, and largely plumbing-free. I forget that this is unusual, and that other folks might be interested in how such a lifestyle can be managed with style and grace. Please feel free to ask me questions, and know that I have in-town internet access 2 days a week, so all questions will be answered…
In my cruising thru the internet, I’ve started to see quite a lot of talk about low-tech living and living in harmony with the earth. Just why this should be such a foreign concept to a lot of people I don’t know; where else would we live but here? I’ve also noticed that there’s no easy way to talk about this without coming off like some sanctimonious, slavering fanatic. I find that odd too. Know that you will not ever be preached at by me!

Attention all goddesses:
You never know, this might be for you! I really, really like what I’m doing, and I wanted to share it with you. Plus, geek boys are the best! So…
Dear Everybody,
I’m writing you this note from work at Aloha Workshops, and I wanted to ask you:
What the heck is a green collar technology worker? If you’re not asking yourself this already, you should be!
Wikipedia defines it thusly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_collar and they’re pretty precise, so make sure you read the whole thing! Green collar-got it? Good! You may now proceed to the next paragraph without the possibility of disorientation; besides, this was your first organizational lesson! (See Aloha Workshops educational reference below!)
The basic upshot of the situation right now is that these new workers for the clean energy sector and emerging green economy are going to have to come from somewhere, and they’re going to have to be trained somewhere too. There has been quite a buzz about this recently in the American media; presidential hopefuls have been talking about it, it’s been in politics elsewhere, and everywhere there are educational programs popping up to take care of the rising need for qualified people.
Aloha Workshops (http://www.alohaworkshops.com) trains people in all aspects of internet organizational design, marketing and support. Somebody’s got to design and write and code it all and put it in its proper place, and Aloha Workshops can teach you how to do that. You’ll come away with valuable industry certification.
Hawai’i’s Big Island is a wonderful place to do anything! You can go snorkeling, surfing, diving, kayaking, snowboarding (yes, we do have snow on Mauna Kea!) swimming, volcano hiking or sightseeing- as well as get an up-to-the-minute technical education by signing up for Aloha Workshops’ Intern Program http://www.prleap.com/pr/88496/.
Located near Mountain View, Hawai’i, Aloha Workshops is nestled in a 20-acre pristine ohia forest tract, amidst giant ferns and orchids. Resident critters Tony (feline) Girly (feline) and Leo (roving canine) complete the homey residential atmosphere.
If all this sounds exciting to you, please give my boss a call! His name is Brent, and he’s knowledgeable, super-smart and easy to talk to. Here’s his info:

Join the fast-growing ranks of green collar technology workers! It’s satisfying work and has a very small ecological footprint…plus the food here at Aloha Workshops is phenomenal. I should know; I cook most of it when I’m on duty.
Thanks for reading!

students, aspiring and practicing web professionals are invited to
apply for an in-depth learning experience and work exchange program.
The Web 2.0 intern program provides hands-on experience, training and

interns who excel in our programs.
Aloha Workshops provides real-world training and workshops based on
the needs of real employers. Specifically, the Web 2.0 intern program
is focused on providing web design, development and marketing
instruction. Using our proven techniques and training programs,
interns will leverage our ten plus years of experience to enhance
their skills and work toward becoming self-sustainable on the web.
In exchange for free training and hands-on instruction, accepted

newly learned skills dramatically improves retention rates.
Immediately applying and practicing what interns learn bridges the gap
between book knowledge (school) and client needs (work). This approach
is consistently proving to be very valuable in personal and
professional development.
The tools and techniques desired by employers change very quickly in
today’s Web 2.0 world. Web workers are very much in demand. In
