In the good old days , kids safety and accidents was considered part of growing up (if you made it that far ) nearly every ;playground' had one of these , but here, they ended a lot sooner than this one , virtually no flat bit t the bottom, then on to concrete , if you where lucky - usully it ws a puddle of mud, gravel and maybe some broken glass . " Wheeeee ... "

'seasy ; I went to the local junk yard, got a big metal bath and put a fire under it . Now I have graduated to a large outdoor gas cooking ring under it , attached to a gas bottle , easy on and off and temperature adjustment . Very snazzy new bath house, but actually the bath will remain outside as I enjoy that so much and the ..... 'wash house ' just has a shower and sink, its crazy big as I hate small showers. I had fun building it ( my first lone build ) and I enjoyed being in charge ( of design materials , all aspects. Its off to the side of the cabin, connected by decking and elevated walkway, all that and the building is made from 'murbau' ( a supposedly sustainable rainforest timber that is a golden orange colour ) board and baton exterior, about 1/3 floor to ceiling windows, double glass sliding door entrance, a 'river beach' floor tile (looks like sand with river pebbles in it ) , light and dark green Italian tiles with a silver, glass and moonstone accent strip, White cypress ceiling boards , Chrome and glass 'art deco' style lights and interior fittings , stone basin on a white cypress bench. It has a an entry deck down one side and a wider one at the front for sitting (as its a great view from there ) . Its in a grove of turpentine trees and palms and ferns that make shadows all around so I painted the underside of the decking roof like that ( I hate looking up to bare tin on a verandah) by laying it all out upside down in the yard covering it with palm and fern fronds and spraying it with various shades of green. Its rather stunning and quirky' , I got a 'wow' from a builder friend when he saw it . Merbau; white cypress pine (on a floor) ll this was supposed to originally be not much more than shed with slat floor and a camping shower . a good 'cabin wife' is hard to find

Cool . My 'cabin in the woods' is fairly civilised;solar electricity , gas, water pump, chainsaw, generator. .... even got fancy new bath house with gas water heater ..... no more outdoor cold showers . Man's best friend in a cabin during winter ; When we used to go to the farm at Goulburn ( very cold in winter ) it had the best old style wood fired heater in the lounge room of the farm house ; very wide front for long logs, fire door on the front and sides for easy loading ... those old mica windows on the front ( before we had fire proof glass ) . It sucked air in from outside through a vent in the wall and a pipe that went into the back, through the top and out air vents at the front, so warm fresh air would come out the top of the heater, rise into the room making the cooler air sink to the floor, the heater had a wide scoop air intake about an inch above floor level to suck in this colder, now stale air, burn it in the fire box and expel it out the chimney , you could have a totally sealed house and still have warm fresh air coming in . My cabin, now, just sucks in the air it needs through the cracks and joins in the woodwork of the walls . It must have got REAL cold at Goulburn, the old farm house , which was half fallen down, had layers of newspaper ( some announcing hostilities pre WWI ) and wall paper on the walls .... I always wonder why they wallpapered it , until one mid winter morning we turned up pre dawn and I jumped out to open the metal farm gate and my palm stuck to it . also, all around the door frames and any joints where nailed little bits of flat metal to keep any tiny breeze out, they where all old cut up jam and sardine tins . But 'now' .... electric cooking .

DDT ? Retro chemical technology . a day at the beach ; If you dont like that .... go to the swimming pool instead ;

Speaking of things 'atomic' ... here is a junior 'chemistry set' that 'teaches' kids about radiation . Fun ( and uranium ) for all the family ; Lets kids create and watch nuclear and chemical reactions using radioactive material. The set originally sold for $49.50[3] (equivalent to $530 in 2020[7]) and contained the following:[3][8][9] Battery-powered Geiger–Müller counter Electroscope Spinthariscope Wilson cloud chamber with short-lived alpha source (Po-210) in the form of a wire Four glass jars containing natural uranium-bearing (U-238) ore samples (autunite, torbernite, uraninite, and carnotite from the "Colorado plateau region")[3] Low-level radiation sources: beta-alpha (Pb-210)[10] pure beta (possibly Ru-106)[10] gamma (Zn-65)[10] The lab contained a cloud chamber allowing the viewer to watch alpha particles traveling at 12,000 miles per second (19,000,000 m/s), a spinthariscope showing the results of radioactive disintegration on a fluorescent screen, and an electroscope measuring the radioactivity of different substances in the set Probably worth fortune now

Here is a classic, and one that works well Simple in its design , suitable for gas, electric or campfire The 'Atomic'

Aston Martin Laguna Let's make an over expensive car with every but of 'modern' technology ( from the 80s ) we can fit in it . This is pretty funny ; " It looks like n anteater and its interior is insane .... " try from 3:35 or 10 :20 ... " Button 'TRST' ... I have no idea what this button does ... " ( he looked in the manual, but it shows a different dashboard from that in that car - my 'favourite' trick .... I have encountered this with a few products ... same model number but what you have is different from what's in the manual !

I found this postulation interesting - it has to do with the large number of animals available for feasting at such sites ( due to the amount of remains found ) , this lead some to speculate that animal husbandry and farming may have started earlier than thought ( " G.T. 're writes history !! " ) .... but maybe not - research is still underway : By 'FLK' " On a fluke, I learned something new today. When I first learned about the site at Gobekli Tepe some years ago, one of the main points in the article I was reading discussed the phenomenal amount of gazelle bones found at the site. My general impression at the time was something like: "Yeah, those big stone structures are neat, but someone needs to seriously examine the surrounding landscape for some sort of stone lanes to capture migratory game animals." The idea being that before one goes off writing new grand theories on how the site changes everything (as everybody seemed to be doing), one ought to at least try to figure out how the site fit within the landscape in order to truly understand the situation. Today, completely by accident, I discovered that such structures actually do exist within that region. In an old archaeology textbook of mine I found a case study of a site called Abu Hureyra in the Euphrates valley in northern Syria, which was roughly contemporary to Gobekli Tepe in its span of occupation. It too had an assemblage of animal remains comparable to that at Gobekli Tepe—approximately 80% gazelles. The researchers of that site hypothesized an association with regional features referred to as "desert kites," stone structures consisting of angled lanes for funneling game animals into stone corrals where the animals would be slaughtered. They hypothesized some potential migratory routes for gazelles through Syria and Jordan based on the distribution of such structures. While these researchers have postulated a regional association between the site and desert kites to the south, one of the sources linked below (Desert Kites, a New Appraisal) notes that no desert kites have been identified in the immediate area around Abu Hureyra. One of the intriguing things about desert kites and other such game capturing corrals is that it seems natural to infer that the construction and use of these features would have played some role in the eventual domestication of various livestock species. Some researchers have suggested that faunal remains at some sites indicating the culling of primarily male animals might indicate management practices relevant to the question of domestication. But apparently there could be natural explanations, and the question remains disputed. Other animal bones at Abu Hureyra included sheep and goats making up about 10% of the faunal assemblage. It is unknown whether they were wild or domestic. However, unlike gazelles which were exploited seasonally, sheep and goat appear to have been slaughtered throughout the year, a pattern which might imply possible domestication. In the latter part of the site's occupancy, there was an abrupt shift in which the use of sheep and goats increased to about 80%, and gazelles decreased to about 20%. The researchers speculated that overkill of gazelles may have led to declining populations and disruption of migratory patterns. I would really love to find some article discussing whether any of these desert kite structures are to be found in the vicinity of Gobekli Tepe, and whether any direct connection could be made among sites at a regional level. The article discussing Gazelle migration patterns below concludes that Gobekli Tepe might have had a catchment area of approximately a 10 km radius. If you know of any easily accessible articles that discuss this aspect, I'd be happy if you might post a link to them. … This article discusses migration patterns for different gazelle species in the region, and evidence for several communities engaging in seasonal harvests at different times of the year. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263242061_Gazelle_behaviour_and_human_presence_at_early_Neolithic_Gobekli_Tepe_south-east_Anatolia This article discusses desert kites as a feature, and has a really nice map showing their distribution throughout the Arabian peninsula, the Levant, the Caucasus, and beyond the Caspian. It discusses the problems and issues with classifying and dating these features. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/283813796_Desert_kites_in_Jordan_-_a_new_appraisal This is a general article on desert kites in Uzbekistan. It has a nice video showing some in the region, and then veers off into modern issues of environmental degradation related to decimated steppe antelope species. The video is really interesting in that it gives an impressive idea of the scale of these constructions. It makes one wonder whether the masonry skills involved, and the necessary community effort in construction wouldn't also have relevance when it comes to discussing what would be necessary in order to build a site such as Gobekli Tepe.

Nope thats an 8 point full stop . not a blank .

would that be carnelian ?

One can post a blank post after quoting ... but is it really blank if it has a quote in it .

There is always a way around that

It doesnt ? .....

I like going to the butchers up on the plateau ;,all their meat is locally sourced ; beef , - the area is full of cattle , healthy looking ones roaming around free in the green fields in a good healthy environment up on the plateau in he fresh cool air , pigs and sheep a little bit further west in the area , local chickens, a near by trout farm .... its alsoa big potato growing area, market gardens for veg - good rich soil. . and also, for strange reasons , this ; dozens and dozens of derelict abandoned steam locomotives on a line that ends there but goes no where .

Last three nights - soft fish tacos . Harvested the last of my tomatillos, too cold now for more . Tomatillo roasted with garlic, peppers , blistered chilli, fresh coriander and lime juice ( for the salsa) . a bunch of different tomato types and peppers and onion dry roasted / 'blackened ' in a pan then add a little water p+s and smoked paprika. Corn tortilla , 3 small whiting fillets seasoned and pan fried , a gob of fried tomatoes, some salsa, finely shredded red onion, shallots, squeeze of lime juice and some smoked habanero sauce ,. - but not tonight - I ran out of fish . [ entrée has been 'Mexican prawn cocktail' .... flashback food , with a twist . Remember these - if you are old enough The old 'prawn cocktail ' . My one is on a plate, on bed of shredded lettuce , with cocktail sauce plus Tabasco and smoked habanero sauce, halved black cherry tomatoes and local king prawns (I'm loving these black cherry tomatoes lately )

^ Indeed . Reich's system helps remove blockages via 'potent orgasm' . " For Reich, "orgastic impotence" is an acquired fear of sexual excitation, resulting in the inability to find full sexual gratification (not to be confused with anorgasmia, the inability to reach orgasm). This always resulted in neurosis, according to Reich, because that person could never discharge all built-up libido, which Reich regarded as actual biological or bioelectric energy. According to Reich, "not a single neurotic individual possesses orgastic potency"[3] and, inversely, all people free from neuroses have orgastic potency. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgastic_potency He stated “Armoring is the condition that results when energy is bound by muscular contraction and does not flow through the body”(Reich:1936) . He saw that there existed character armouring which he defined as “the sum total of typical character attitudes, which an individual develops as a blocking against their emotional excitations, resulting in rigidity in the body, and lack of emotional contact ”. He defined muscular armouring as “the sum total of muscular(chronic muscular spasms) which an individual develops as a block against the breakthrough of emotions and organ sensations, particularly anxiety, rage and sexual excitation” (Reich:1936).

No, he isnt asking about how to avoid an orgasm but how to have a 'retrograde orgasm' . ie, filling the bladder up with it ........... .. for who knows what reason ! I suppose one could put a clamp on it .

By definition , 'point of no return' ; means there is no reversal or 'return' , otherwise it would be a 'point of return' - if you can return from it . 'Retrograde' means a backward movement or a movement that is opposite to the usual direction of flow. So, unless you want to turn ' Pedro ' into a vacuum cleaner . . . . .

Some Arctic indigenous people used to make beautiful metal work . I saw some very well made beautifully artistic cutlery of usual design. I could not place it. Then it was identified as antique arctic . ? Nah ... how did they do that ? So I looked into it .It was Inuit . The bone handles where 'marine ivory' , fair enough, but where did they get the metal for those well made blades ? Apparently they had their own source of metal ... for a long time .; one major one was the Innaanganeq meteorite . 60,000 kg of octahedrite iron . " On the northwestern coast of Greenland, the Iron Age began hundreds of years before iron was brought to southern Greenland by Icelandic farmers (Wilken, 2015). Meteoric iron has been present in the region since at least 1000 CE, when a group of about 300 Inuit settled Melville Bay, which is bounded in the north by Cape York (Buchwald, 1975). These meteorite blocks attracted Inuit from across the Arctic, and tools made with fragments harvested from the Cape York meteorite allowed Arctic Inuit to progress from the Stone Age to the Iron Age (Huntington, 2002). Had there been no meteoric iron present in Melville Bay, the area may have never been successfully settled at all. " Inuit told the explorer Robert Peary in the late 1800s that legend was that the three major meteorite blocks were an Inuit woman who was thrown from the sky along with her dog and tent by the evil spirit Tornarsuk. It is possible this is true, but it is more likely that the Inuit were humoring Peary with the story he expected to hear – that they believed the rocks were meteoric in origin. As neither John Ross nor any other polar explorer ever recorded hearing a similar story, it is probable that the Inuit believed the iron blocks were simply natural deposits (Buchwald, 1975). For hundreds of years, these meteorite blocks were an indispensable resource for the small group of Inuit living in this barren part of the world. ..... " But then , they got stolen from them ...
