YOUR FUTURE RETRIEVED

Did you ever fancy a world where wishes come true as future
misfortunes are easily predicted as well as annihilated by the
positive forces of human mind? Would that not be magick? What a
wonderful world it could be!

Would you agree on human beings being influenced by the celestial
bodies much as everything is in mutual influence as enmeshed in
eternal creation?

Mysterious forces at work frame human fate as unfathomed by
astrology. The future is molded in advance by the use of magick1.

We use the organized sky for our precise predictions, the better to
counter fate.

Why do we use the real celestial objects and constellations instead
of irrational means that flatter the superstitious? It is in our
belief that the noble arts of astronomy and astrology were once the
same art, both scientific and divine.

Superstition settles in only upon the fall of some great
civilisation. The profanation of celestial mathematics results in
false zodiacs and mangled astrological imagery. It is a well-known
fact that astronomy parted from pseudo-astrology as soon as the
alleged astrologers ceased to upgrade their calculations to precession
and sound scientific thought. Nowadays astrology is but superstition,
the so-called astrological signs having nothing to do with their
alleged heavenly counterparts. To state but one blatant example, the
sun is still in Libra on November 23rd, albeit the astrologist might
not be informed accordingly2.

Futuretrieving succeeds in atuning one's preferred future to one's
karma. One would otherwise suffer calamity, whether predicted or not,
often on account of bad astrology. Over the past 3000 years much evil
was done by influencing people with fase astrology3.

Pseudo-astrologists have brought much harm to humanity and continue
toi do so. To mention but a most obvious error, the astrologist's
victim is e.g. Told he's a "Scorpio" albeit his natal sun is clearly
in Virgo. It is easy to imagine a terrible series of errors that can
issue from living a life as based on a false identity.

Besides being mathematically off the mark, the false zodiacal
presumptions form a trojan psychological barrier to optimal an life.
The academic zodiac and RTRRT help setting one's futurity in a proper
perspective by determining one's true natal sky, as well as dissolving
the bad transits coming from the future while installing a positive
set of events into the future ahead instead of bad expectancy.

The academic zodiac hosts 22 IAU constellations while the present
ascendant set distributes 16 constellations over your true eastern
horizon. The Night & Day house system matches the 22/16 duo with
perfection. This may be the first time that the principles behind your
own real natal horoscope are available in comprehensive form. Whether
your interest lies in future-changing, astronomy or astrology, the
astronomic zodiac and precessed ascendant set will open a new future
for you. And don't forget that you can always change your future with
the help of the handy RTRRT, your daily magick kit!

It is our fair offer. Nothing less but your real natal sky. It is easy
to agree on that.

An average 2400 ft^2 US house leaks naturally leaks 0.7 ACH, ie 224 cfm,
much more than ASHRAE's standard of 15 cfm per full-time occupant (which
used to be 5 cfm.) This makes house air very dry in wintertime and makes
the system efficiency of a vent-free heater higher than any vented heater.

A good (IDEAS) Canadian house only leaks 2.5 cfm. With people and green
plants evaporating water inside, it needs DEhumidification (eg mechanical
ventilation) in wintertime.

One of the free packages that I saw mentioned a lot when I was
researching it was GBPVR. It works with Windows, while a lot of the
others are Linux based. I haven't personally tried it, though.

I use BeyondTV because I like the interface and features. There is a
free trial that you can download and install. If you like it, you
just buy an activation code (no re-install necessary). Similar deal
with Sage, but they have a shorter trial period.

Also -- one trick that I learned when sorting out my HDTV PVR PC:
make a Ghost image (or equivalent) backup of your Windows system
partition before installing any of the trial software. Then if you
need to, you can restore the clean Windows image and reinstall the
trial SW for more testing before you lay down your cash. I found out
the hard way that the trial SW (and the SW support people) are not
forgiving if you have a problem that you can't sort out within the
trial period. In my case I had problems with my video card which
entailed installing, tweaking, reinstalling, then finally order and
delivery of a new card. By the time I had the hardware working with
HD, the SW trial period was expired. The only way to restart the
trial period is to re-install Windows. Having a backup image handy
makes an easy shortcut.

You would be surprised what isn't covered in an inspection. I have
friend that bought a house that had 4 inspections before closing. Those
inspections never revealed that the heating/AC didn't work, that the
plumbing was disconnected in numerous places. And some other glaring
faults that I noticed in 5 minutes.

Now, a lot of people are keyed into attic insulation, because heat
rises. But heat will escape through any surface where it is colder on
the other side. It is very easy to add attic insulation but is of little
help if your walls/floor are heat porous.

Lets take a 30' x 40' house, That's 1200 SF of floor and attic space
and roughly 1200 SF of wall space.

Lets insulate the attic to R15, at 40 F colder outside than in that's
2400 BTU/hr. That's a bit less that half a single electric space heater.
Double that insulation and you get a quarter of an electric space
heater. Diminishing returns.

Now lets assume the walls are uninsulated with single pane windows.
That's about R2, that's 24,000 BTUs each hour fleeing. Or almost 5 space
heaters running full blast. Insulate those walls and you'll take away 4
space heaters, instead of a fourth of a space heater.

Note that even if you insulate everything you will still have loss
through infiltration. Sealing air leaks should be job one. An average
insulated house will lose one third it's heat through air leaks.

My math may be a bit off, it's early...

Go to a home center and get a batch of the shrink-film window cover
kits (one per window and a few spares--they're cheap, especially in
the multiple window kits). Wal-Mart also has them. Install one on
each window; also pick up some tubes of latex caulk and caulk around
the window casings. This will greatly reduce heat loss.

If you have any attic access doors or hatches, cover those as well. I
have an access hatch in each house, and decided to put the shrink film
over them a few years ago; as I was installing it, the film was getting
sucked up against the hatch! With the hatch covered, the house became
far more comfortable and the heater runs much less.

[ ... ]

The cold walls mean they're not insulated; your floors probably are not
insulated either. There's probably a little insulation in your attic,
but not likely enough by current standards. Start working on upgrades
over the next few years, they'll pay off.

You can use incense sticks to locate air leaks; they're cheap and safe,
since they don't have an open flame.

I don't think the walmart low prices everyday thing works for cellphones
(or other things for that matter). There is more to cell phone service
than the cost of the plan. You also need a carrier that has good
coverage where you will use the phone. For example tmobile and Sprint
are not good choices here. Guess which ones have the lowest prices?

Sprint has a 700 anytime family plan for $69.99 and a 1400 anytime
minute family plan for $89.99 (for 2 phones). Plus add an extra
9.99/month for having a 3rd phone. That also includes unlimited calling

The bigger lesson you should have learned is to _never_ use a debit card
for big ticket items. You lose all the consumer protection that the Fair
Credit Billing Act extends to credit card purchases. _You_ have to fight
to get your money back in your account, rather than have the store fight
to get the money from the credit card issuer.

Always use a credit card for big ticket items. You gain important
consumer protections, plus if you return or cancel the order within the
same billing period, you're not out any money at all.

I saw that thread.

is to _never_ use a debit card for big ticket items. You lose all the

Where do you park the rest of your funds? In a related savings or MM

Air-popped popcorn tastes like popcorn, not oil. While most people are
used to lots of oil to enhance the taste of terrible food, it's possible
to get past that.

Which is not to say you can't add flavoring. A spray bottle with water
will allow any kind of flavoring to stick: salt, spices, parmesan, any
of a hundred specially-made popcorn flavorings that range from terrible
to very good.

Limbaugh is a total blithering idiot. He never analyzes an issue
completely. It's all just one sided.

since you know that already why do you listen to his show? I know that
the NY Times is a slanted leftist propaganda tool, I don't read it.

Hey, he got very rich by conning enough right-wing wackos into actually
believing anything he says. Remember, he's an entertainer, not a news
person.
