Earthquake/Tsunami/Nuclear Disaster

Since December 21, 2012 will come and go without major incident like every other dire prediction, you'd think the doom and gloomers would have picked a date farther out, like 2030, to milk it longer...

The end-date was predicted roughly 5,125 years ago according to the Mayan long calendar. If you were a Mayan, you would know this when you received your 2012 Rigid Tools calendar because it would only have 21 days on it.

Am I thinking crazy or does this Earthquake thing usually happen in early Spring or fall??
As the Earth is tilting on its axis for the seasonal changes, the stress on these fragile plates increases.
Mother Earth is getting rickety in her old age.

Here's the deal-

The Chinese population is about 1.4 billion. Assume the average person there weighs 100 pounds and you got 140,000,000,000 pounds of humanity. Thanks to the advent of GPS, it's now possible for that 140 billion pounds of humanity to jump exactly 1 foot in the exact coordination necessary to direct force on the earth to target specific places with ruptured faults and earthquakes.

Excellent comment Tom K1JJ.  The changes are interesting and exciting to many.

The Universe's calendar was first presented to the Egyptians by travelers from the Andromeda Circular Galaxy.  And of course there is no leap year correction, same number of days in a month. Bloodletting for all female Humans and animals the same and not by our moon. 13 is a very common denominator.  Most of us are on a messed-up calender  where Emperor Pope Gregory thought that our little sun was the center of the Universe. Converting from the Egyptian Melchizedek Calendar from Andromeda things should be very stable again on Earth by June-May 2013.

By the way these changes are occurring thorough-out the entire Universe, not  just this tiny Star system !

Including Y2K. And after 21 May 2011, Family Radio will just keep on broadcasting the rest of the bible thumpers, and the old dude will just disappear off their station with no further mention.

[K1DEU]

    Ah Yes Good Ole  Y2K. Well Lets count.   

The Universe counts only in Base 8 Never in Base 10.

Egads that means Y2K hasn't arrived yet.

The Universe counts only in Base 8 Never in Base 10.

Why not convert to a Base 12? Twelve can be evenly divided into 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts or 6 parts, many more possible factors of 12, than can base 10 which can be evenly divided only into 2 parts (2 X 5 = 10).  When actually building a physical structure, inches and feet are a lot easier than the metric system to work with and make mental calculations.

As someone once said, "All your base are belong to us."

Don; base 8--13 parts

When it comes to building this two story shack I live in 24x28 with rohn45g attached

fractions are not for this kid  and I had the local Sawyer cut my hemlock and spruce into real 2x4 2x6 2x8 2x12's

So you close your eyes when you bury the 20 nailhead into the soaking wet hemlock.

If anyone has friends on the west coast invite them east tomorrow

Where our magnetic and rotational axis poles were before is very interesting. Slightly more than 13,000 years ago one of our poles was centered on Greenwich, England. Time Traveling forward one of our Poles will be located near Ceylon, India. This is the old North pole headed over the Arctic currently. Our South Pole is currently headed  up South America to a location near San Palo, Brazil.  The new poles will not be freezing. Over the entire planet the weather will be extremely mild. Vegetation will receive water from dew and mild light rain at darkness. Winds will be mild making wind power often non-functional. The Equator will be shifted 80 degrees. Converting from the Egyptian calendar to the Gregorian calendar changes should be stable by May-June 2013. The equator will be length wise in the Atlantic off the east coast of America. 800 miles east of Boston, Massachusetts.

I had nothing to do with it!!!!!

May 21, at least we will get another Deerfield in before the sky falls down.
Mr. Mike should peddle the end of humanity sale. Might pick up some good deals for the next life.

I had to check since it is April fool's day.

I have a couple Ping hybrids....

I thought a hybrid was a Sollid State rig with Tube finals?

Hybrid: A telephone interface comes to mind.

50 Hz vs 60 Hz.  Japan has both so has a hard time doing load balancing.  I didn't realize this.  Article with a little description on some conversion technologies in IEEE Spectrum

Funny, I suddenly have a strange urge to send a check to Newington.

Amazing that a country the size of Japan has two uncompatable power grids. Moregreat planning and forward thinking.

Hydro generator technology Our American way. 

I doubt that I'm the only person who tried to read a book in the 50's and gave up in about 1 hour due to the 20 cycle flickering of the incandescent bulb. The physical size and weight of the pole distribution pigs were quite the challenge to support with wooden poles in loose soil. Next 40 cycles was tried and we could read a lot longer after sunset. Its too bad Niagara couldn't crank out 90-120 cycles per second with reasonable generator bearing life. 60 is way to lossy to most.  John, K1DEU

I don't know where you were in the 1950s, but where I was growing up we had the same good ol' 60 cycle power that we've got now. Most of the battles over the "correct" frequency for AC lines were fought in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Seems to me you could get a higher frequency from the Niagara generators, at the same RPM and therefore the same bearing life, by increasing the number of poles in the generators.

In the 50's I was getting juice on the Ontario Niagara Falls Grid which was twenty cycles per second where I would spend summers near London, Ontario learning everything about farming and how to repair it ourselves. Westinghouse first upgraded the American side, and only near the falls in Ontario. John, K1DEU

Notice in Tesla's generator design that generation and distribution would have been the proper efficient way to go for the future.

Memory tells me that Y2K was a computer thing......Maybe a naysayer connected it to the end of time. But anything with an IC in it or a microprocessor was doomed to fail and it would give a readout of some way out date and all record keeping would turn to Shi$.
The company I worked for paid some dude and his company $ 1 million to research all electronics that we used. We had to submit schematics and he would determine if it would pass or not. I was on stand-by at a remote microwave relay site along with the rest of the world waiting for some major failure of our backbone. I watched New Year eve celebrations from all over the world and the USA that night on a portable TV.

The truth is;

Mayan Calender stopped in 2012 only because the dude ran out of room on the rock!

A small mysterious ending inscript just translated reads:

Continued on next rock!
