"On Dec. 16th, magnetic fields around the sunspot [#1035] erupted and hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. The billion-ton cloud is still en route. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when it arrives on Dec. 18th or 19th."

Do you know where you are? Do you know where you're going? Do you know how to get there?
These are good questions, often asked when examining one's life goals or larger purpose. But today I'm asking them in the most literal, physical sense: do you know where [...]
I am trying to come up with a list of do-ables to lob at willing do-ers in the next election. Things that promote VT independence and security that can be done within the existing political framework. The Bank of Vermont is a good example of what I'm thinking about also IRV, simplification' [...]
Why, in the midst of Collapse, is North Dakota relatively unaffected? Why are foreclosures and job losses not keeping pace with the rest of the Empire?
One good reason is that the people of North Dakota have their own Bank. Vermont desperately needs such a bank, and yesterday.

My little hot-water from composting wood-chips experiment is yeilding promising results. I am getting 100-degree water with a flow rate just under one gallon per minute, (from 48-degree well-water).

He sees a "timid, cowed, confused" populace disconnected from language, governed by consumerism, ambivalent toward [...]
WASHINGTON - December 3 - Following a speech on the Floor of the House of Representatives, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today made the following statement:

Folks,
After returning from India, a republic which got its independence a half century ago, and in which the idea of independence and disobedience stills burns brightly in the blood, I'm finding that personal illumination also brings a loss for words.

Editor's Note: "Escalate To Exit." A provocative and accurate phrase to describe Mr. O's "new" Afghanistan policy. Let's see. 30,000 troops x $1 million per soldier = $30 million new (borrowed?) U.S. dollars. Currently, we have an estimated 100 "bad guys" hiding out in Afghanistan. What could possibly explain the [...]

Thanksgiving Day is a special day for those following the peak oil news. Geologist Kenneth Deffeyes, author of Hubbert's Peak, predicted that Thanksgiving Day 2005 would mark the peak in world oil production. After that, oil production would decline, irreversibly. And he may have been right. Crude oil production figures [...]
Dear Governor Kunin,
I am writing to urge you to speak out against further deployments of Vermont troops to Afghanistan and withdrawal of VT troops from Iraq, as Obama promised in his campaign. Obama has betrayed the people who elected him on that basis, and will bring ruin to the [...]
The ongoing dance between Vermont’s public majorities versus the state’s private nuclear power plant and its political minions have entered a gray area. Rather than being a black & white issue -- one of pro v. anti -- the lack of effective action and claims to remain neutral throughout the [...]
Regarding Fed Audits, Lies, And The Coming Collapse...
Let's examine this question: Why would Peter Welch (Democrat from Vermont) support a true audit of the Federal Reserve, while Barney Frank (Democrat from Mass) opposes it?
This is a really important question.

That's right: The US House of Representatives recently passed a 680-billion-dollar defense authorization bill.
However, according to the Boston Globe today: "In March, Obama said he was cracking down on the 'broken system' of military contracting."
