It's the Underground man!


I have always been a big fan of "underground" parties and scene's. What comes to mind for me are rave's in old wharehouses.

Well these people may be the original underground partiers and culture. This also speaks to home security, not really a new subject is it?

History

First built in the soft volcanic rock of the Cappadocia region by the Phrygians in the 8th–7th centuries B.C according to the Turkish Department of Culture,[2] the underground city at Derinkuyu was enlarged in the Byzantine era. The city could be closed from inside with large stone doors. With storerooms and wells that made long stays possible, the city had air shafts which are up to 100 feet (30 m) deep. Derinkuyu is the largest excavated underground city in Turkey. The complex has a total 11 floors, though many floors have not been excavated. Each floor could be closed off separately. The city was connected with other underground cities through miles of tunnels. The city could accommodate between 3,000 and 50,000 people. more

Extreme downsizing of homes


is this a future trend in america? or will we be bouncing back to our mcmansions and insanely large mortgages?

Quote from Calfinder.com:

The sluggish economy, a very iffy housing market, and an aging population with changing housing needs all add up to a new living trend: extreme downsizing. While empty-nesters and newly single older adults have been downsizing in modest degrees for quite some time, the traditional shift from a large home to a smaller condo or mobile home is becoming increasingly, well, extreme.

In Texas, where folks usually like BIG everything, a couple who was planning on building a 3,000-square-foot retirement home decided on extreme downsizing instead. They opted for a 336-square-foot country cabin built from vintage salvage materials. The total cost? $70,000. The home was built by Tiny Texas Houses, which specializes in what they call Salvage Building. According to owner Brad Kittel, “I believe we don’t need as much space as we have become accustomed to in this country... [we can] downsize our carbon footprint, simplify our lives, and live in a house with a soul that will be energy efficient as well as beautiful.”

Fractal Geometry the language of nature.


http://video.pbs.org/video/1050932219 link from a PBS online video documentary about fractals.

When computers can run on fractals and using metaphysics new technologies and ideas will sprout that are far beyond what one can imagine.

David Icke On 2012

Looking for a recipe for financial success?


Look no further than Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich". He speaks the truth, his lessons are easy to follow and it works.

I wish I had read this earlier in life. Perhaps it only makes sense when you are truly ready to accept the reality contained within.

The movie "The Secret" would be nothing without the teachings of this book, most of the dialogue comes directly from this book "Think and Grow Rich".

meme's

this is a rather interesting phenomenon where ideas can manifest very quickly through society and it is called a meme. i think it is important to watch for these, see what they tell us and to know where they come from.
