 SINGER 160 Anniversary Limited Edition Computerized Sewing Machine- Amazon
Authored by Dave Webb
I look at how I was educated and I have a problem. We were basically educated to be assembly line workers in a factory. Oh, we have history, English, math skills, etc.
But, the basic orientation is 9-5 education. It starts at the beginning of training in the schools. We all are trained to sit in chairs and listen. This prepares us for a 9-5 regiment in a factory when you grow up. Never mind that training someone to make his own way in the world might be more valuable in the long run. Like learning to run a store or a business might be better for everyone or not.
Since that day years ago when I started school, things have changed drastically. The problem is I do not feel that education has changed with it. I think we need a new approach.
I think back then the most valuable courses (Read more....) […]
(Guest Article by Dave Webb)
The following is from an article in the Dayton Daily News in Ohio. Anyone who is not alarmed by this quote needs to be. It effects everyone. “A typical middle-income family making $40,000 to $64,000 a year could see its taxes go up by $2,000 in 2013 if lawmakers fail to renew a lengthy roster of tax cuts set to expire at the end of 2012, according to a new report Monday, Oct. 1, 2012. Taxpayers across the income spectrum would be hit with large tax hikes, the Tax Policy Center said in its study, with households in the top 1 percent income range seeing an average tax increase of more than $120,000, while a family making between $110,000 to $140,000 could see a tax hike in the $6,000 range.” Normally I would not quote anyone from the wire services. If there is ever a Pravda(Moscow newspaper) in the United States, surely this is it. This one got through the editors. I don’t know why but it did. The FED is busy printing money. They do not have time to comfort us. The new idea which is very old is to make our money worthless. This encourages unions and everyone else to re-negotiate wages every year. Obviously if everything is inflating at say 10% per year(Off the wall (Read more....) […]
 Thanks to The Genius of Nicola Tesla –A Perfect Antenna for the Survivalist -by SurvivingSurvivalism.com
I’m sure if you are familiar with the name Nicola Tesla you have read enough articles extolling the genius that he was. He was the inventor of Alternating Current (AC), the radio (Marconi used Tesla’s plans and experiment notes), florescent lighting, radar, radio controlled boats to name a few of the inventions of this man’s genius. What we are going to talk about today is one of the master’s little noticed inventions, “The Tesla Ground Wave Antenna”, the perfect antenna for the survivalist on a tight budget (and who isn’t!?!?!).
The Tesla Ground Wave Antenna breaks nearly all the rules of antenna theory. This antenna is very very simple using only a couple of parts, and is extraordinary as a receiving antenna. Some have also used this as a transmitting antenna, with an antenna tuner for HAM and freebanding.
Using a 4 ft (Read more....) […]
 Anything you would normally cook in a gas or electric oven in your kitchen can be cooked just as well outside, in a wood-burning oven you make with your own hands. Here are a few tips on how to build your own outdoor oven.
Types of Outdoor Ovens
You can purchase a ready-made outdoor oven at various places, but part of the fun of having one is to make it yourself. The oven can be constructed by using cement blocks or made of adobe, which is becoming more popular. The major difference between a grill and the oven is that your outdoor oven is enclosed to retain the heat instead of letting it escape.
Check Zoning Laws
Before you begin making your outdoor oven, it would be a good idea to check with your local government to make sure there are no zoning laws that prohibit building the oven the way you’d like to. If there are, you may have to get a variance or change your plans.
Gather Material
After you’ve determined where your oven is going to be located, preferably on a flat surface a sufficient distance from anything that is combustible, you will have to gather the material you’ll need to build the (Read more....) […]

If you have a bug-out location anywhere preferable, you are most likely entirely too far from the external world to pick up on 3G or T3 internet service. The only option in this idyllic location, is a satellite internet connection. This is at least simple to install and maintain. The downside is the very limited bandwidth this connection is capable of carrying. Let’s discuss how to keep your bandwidth to a minimum.
1.Flash Block add-on will stop all flash media, youtube videos, banner adds, etc., from loading on a web page without your permission. These flash files eat up bandwidth and slow the page loading down. A blue .swf icon appears in place of the unloaded flash content and you can click on the flash media that you do want to (Read more....) […]

 A Day In the Real Life, by SurvivingSurvivalism.com
Thank you for the wonderful response to our article, Top 8 Deadly Myths About Survival. Many of you wrote asking for more information about the day-to-day life. Here’s a peek at a typical non-winter day.
It’s noon-ish. The first round of chores are pretty much done. So far today, here is what we’ve been up to:
Woke up at 4:00 a.m. because a pack of coyotes was howling too close to the chicken coop and we had to let the dog out to protect them. Then we went back to sleep to the sound of the dog barking. Well, okay. That’s not exactly a daily happening, but it did happen last night!
Around 6:00 a.m. we get up for real. I light the kitchen wood stove to warm up the house and get breakfast going. Breakfast is usually fresh farm eggs, pancakes, biscuits, cracked wheat cereal or such.
We grind our own flour by hand. That means attaching the grain mill (we use and recommend the (Read more....) […]
