Zpeman is of course me, Jerry Decker of Keelynet and Vanguard Sciences and Mexistim.
I like twitter cause I can do quickie news posts or comments which I can later reference for updating KeelyNet, the KeelyNet blog, Hellboxer or whatever.

Onion Lore
Received this in an email from Jerry Draughon but if you believe Snopes its not exactly true;
http://www.snopes.com/medical/swineflu/onion.asp
http://www.snopes.com/food/tainted/onions.asp
A friend of mine told me a story about when he was a kid he was in the hospital & nearly dying. His Italian grandmother came to the hospital & told a family member to go buy her a large onion & a new pair of white cotton socks. She sliced the onion open then put a slice on the bottom of each of his feet & put the white cotton socks on him. In the morning when he awoke they removed the socks. The slices of onion were black & his fever was gone. The following story that someone sent to me might have some truth in it & we are going to try it this winter.
In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.
The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.
Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work.. (And no, she is not in the onion business.)
The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.
I contracted pneumonia and needless to say I was very ill...I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put one end on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty jar...placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.
Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.
This is the other note.
LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS
I have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and sometimes I don't use a whole one at one time, so save the other half for later. Now with this info, I have changed my mind....will buy smaller onions in the future.
I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.
Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.
The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula. He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's.
Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially- made Mayo is completely safe.
"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.
Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the onions, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.
He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.
It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!)
Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.
So, how's that for news? Take it for what you will. I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.'
Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions. Please remember it is dangerous to cut onions and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates Toxic bacteria which may cause Adverse Stomach infections because of excess Bile secretions and even Food poisoning.

5 Novel Cellphone uses
A friend emailed these to pass along...#2 is particularly fascinating (none of these worked for me on my cellphone in Mexico);
FIRST - Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of t he coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND - Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"
THIRD - Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.
FOURTH - How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones. And Finally....
FIFTH - Free Directory Service for Cells
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

New Mexistims
I now have two versions of the Mexistim. One is the basic version which offers 3 volts DC to the wirescreen, switched at approximately 15 minute intervals and can be powered by batteries or from the included AC/DC adapter.
The 2nd version has 8 selectable modes of operation to allow for experiment and trying various combinations. It too is battery or AC/DC powered plus other options as described at the Mexistim page.
Lee claimed his 'energy cleaner' assists the body to purge toxins from the cells. His analogy goes something like this,
As you know, no one can make claims of cures without running afoul of the medical establishment who themselves don't have absolute cures.
Each person's body is different with a constantly changing acid and alkali balance, varying daily stresses and other factors which affect healing.
We are basically living filters which trap all kinds of toxins and noxious materials from the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe and which settle in our tissues to bring about a variety of illnesses, cancer and even organ failure.

Lee claimed his 'energy cleaner' assists the body to purge toxins from the cells. His analogy goes something like this,
'It's like taking a bucket lined with dried mud which is similar to the toxins that build up in the cell. If you fill the bucket with water and empty it, you have removed some of the toxins. By continually filling and emptying the bucket with fresh water, you will eventually have a clean bucket. This is what is believed to happen in the cells when using the machine. One polarity pulls fluid into the cells, the other polarity ejects the fluid, now laden with toxins, from the cells.'

10,000 Pennies - obama Budget Cuts Visualization
Take 1 minute - 38 seconds to watch this... Recently the President announced that over the next 90-days he is going to work to cut 100-Million dollars of spending out of the Federal Budget.
A college student explains the presidents economics plan. VERY well done! This is worth spending one minute and thirty eight seconds to watch!
How much is the $100 million dollars in budget cuts compared to the federal budget as a whole?
This video imagines the budget as $100 in pennies to provide the answer. (Thanks to Bob Aldrich for this excellent headsup! - JWD) - Full Article Source

An American Citizen's Response to 'Americas rich muslim heritage'
Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story." This response has been printed all over the internet. I'm not sure where it first originated, although I did try to find out.
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery.
Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?
The letter to Obama goes on reminding the President that there were no Muslims here during the Civil Rights Era and that there are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims standing or walking side-by-side with Martin Luther King, Jr..
It reminds Obama that Muslims were not here during our country's Woman's Suffrage Era and that in the Islamic culture, women remain subservient and are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to men outside the family.
The writer asks where the Muslims were during WWII, then answers that they were aligned with Adolf Hitler.
Then the writer reminds the President that on September 11, 2001, Muslims flew airplanes into the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon, and were stopped by an airplane full of people in Pennsylvania and killed nearly 3,000 people.
He also reminds Obama that afterward, Muslims rejoiced in the Middle East, and that we saw the footage on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other stations. The writer adds:
Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims whose asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America. - Full Article Source

How many illegal aliens are in the U.S.?
Imagine recovering 10-20 million (or more) jobs for legal citizens which are currently LOST to illegals from all countries - Our illegal immigration numbers are based on an estimated twenty million illegal aliens having been present in our nation as of January 1, 2004.
The Tucson sector Border Patrol union local 2544 on the number of illegal aliens in our nation: "There are currently 15 to 20 million illegal aliens in this country by many estimates, but the real numbers could be much higher and the numbers increase every day because our borders are not secure (no matter what the politicians tell you - don't believe them for a second)".
In agreement with Senator McCain, we believe that an increase of 10,000 total additional illegal aliens added to the United States population each day. This reflects figures that include illegal aliens successfully entering our nation combined with those who overstay their visas. We are of the educated opinion that we are conservatively low in our estimation.
President George W. Bush and then Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, used a figure of "8-12 million" illegal aliens in December 2003. Other reports - including one recently released by the Pew Hispanic Center and figures used by the Center for Immigration Studies quoting 10 - 11 million illegal aliens present in the U.S. - rely heavily on U.S. Census data that many, we at TAR included, believe to be incomplete, inaccurate and artificially low.
An independent study of the underground economy released in January 2005 by the Wall Street financial firm Bear Stearns, The Underground Labor Force is Rising to the Surface, produced estimates of 18-20 million illegal aliens present in the United States.
(Estimates vary from 12-15 million legal citizens are unemployed in 2010.)
I haven't heard a single charge of racism concerning Mexican immigration policy, so logic would follow that (if they are so happy with the immigration laws in their country, they will be equally happy with their own countries laws applied to them as illegal immigrants in the US), then all of the current critics of Arizona's law could be happy. It's a win-win situation! - M.J. Lewis - Full Article Source

The Arizona legislation, signed April 23 by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, is similar to Reglamento de la Ley General de Poblacion — the General Law on Population enacted in Mexico in April 2000, which mandates that federal, local and municipal police cooperate with federal immigration authorities in that country in the arrests of illegal immigrants.Here's a Thought
Let's adopt Mexico's laws
All of those criticizing Arizona's new anti-immigration law are absolutely correct! It is so unfair! Instead of mimicking existing federal law like it does now, Arizona should enact laws similar to Mexico's. By applying the same standards to illegal immigration as Mexico, Arizona and the U.S. as a whole should:
1. make illegal immigration a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison;
2. deported illegals that re-enter should be imprisoned for 10 years;
3. visa violators sentenced to six years;
4. helping illegal immigrants would be a felony; and
5. deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to economic or national interests and those who are not "physically or mentally healthy" or lack the "necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents.
I haven't heard a single charge of racism concerning Mexican immigration policy, so logic would follow that (if they are so happy with the immigration laws in their country, they will be equally happy with their own countries laws applied to them as illegal immigrants in the US), then all of the current critics of Arizona's law could be happy. It's a win-win situation! - M.J. Lewis - Full Article Source

Life is Precious...
Doug Stanhope the comedian does a hilarious routine about old people wanting to live another few years...in the skit, a guy begs people to change his bag or help him get around and thank god he has lived another day...
Stanhope asks WTF FOR? You are useless and a drain on people and the world...so why if you aren't healthy or still together enough to get around and care for yourself, would you EVER want to live more years?
It's totally different if you are able to take care of yourself and DOING SOMETHING with your life...but when I'm in miserable shape, can't do anything and need someone to take care of me, I'm READY TO GO....check this out;
I'm in my mid 50s' so not much longer and I too will be a codger if I'm not already...and older people than I say you'll change your tune as you get older too...but I think not...lots of things I still want to do and I spend my time keeping busy and working on things and having fun when the opportunity presents itself, but it's because I STILL CAN.
I happen to agree with Oprah that we should DIE BROKE. Give most of your possessions and money to your family and friends so they can improve their lives and appreciate you NOW, not after you are dead where you will never know.
Holding onto possessions and wealth just for yourself into old age when you could do so much good with it is just not a moral thing to do in my opinion. Granted I have no real wealth or valuable possessions and it's always people like me urging those with money to give it up...lol....but just think of all the good you could do!
When my health goes to pot and I can't enjoy life or need to be kept alive or relying on someone else, that's when I will pull the plug, move on and let the younger generation have my space and my 'stuff'.
Death will get us all but I'm all for euthanasia and the right to check out when you want to.
I used to know and work with Satch Landrum who was like my step grandad. He knew my family and everyone in town. In his late 60s he started falling apart, couldn't get around so had an artificial hip replacement that hurt him when the weather changed. He used to bitch about it and getting old. Satch said he believed society should just put people out of their misery around 65 years of age, to free up space for the young'uns and make people realize their time was up.
Now I don't agree with forced termination but I think we have the right to decide for ourselves...it just amazes me that someone in horrible shape, who can't do anything or enjoy anything would sit around and whine for MORE YEARS....because...because...well you know...LIFE IS FRIGGIN PRECIOUS!

I happen to agree with Oprah that we should DIE BROKE. Give most of your possessions and money to your family and friends so they can improve their lives and appreciate you NOW, not after you are dead where you will never know.
Holding onto possessions and wealth just for yourself into old age when you could do so much good with it is just not a moral thing to do in my opinion. Granted I have no real wealth or valuable possessions and it's always people like me urging those with money to give it up...lol....but just think of all the good you could do!
When my health goes to pot and I can't enjoy life or need to be kept alive or relying on someone else, that's when I will pull the plug, move on and let the younger generation have my space and my 'stuff'.
Death will get us all but I'm all for euthanasia and the right to check out when you want to.
I used to know and work with Satch Landrum who was like my step grandad. He knew my family and everyone in town. In his late 60s he started falling apart, couldn't get around so had an artificial hip replacement that hurt him when the weather changed. He used to bitch about it and getting old. Satch said he believed society should just put people out of their misery around 65 years of age, to free up space for the young'uns and make people realize their time was up.
Now I don't agree with forced termination but I think we have the right to decide for ourselves...it just amazes me that someone in horrible shape, who can't do anything or enjoy anything would sit around and whine for MORE YEARS....because...because...well you know...LIFE IS FRIGGIN PRECIOUS!

An Observation
I noticed something about the majority of people who voted for obama. Many of them expected him to bail them out of their problems and set them up for a life of comfort if not luxury.
This reminded me of a little trip some of us took down to San Antonio, Texas years ago. I had a molecular frequency discriminator which claims to resonate with specific elements which you can locate using electrified dowsing rods. There are 11 provided frequencies which included; iron, silver, gold, platinum, ruby, diamond, lead and a few others I don't recall offhand.
In a discussion with friends I mentioned the machine and we tried to figure out somewhere we could go 'treasure hunting' and see if we could find anything.
One in our group knew an old family in San Antonio who had lived there for many years when it was still Mexican territory. The story went that this family had come from Spain, bought a huge tract of land and raised cattle. They were wealthy and held their wealth as family jewels and coins in a small chest.
I don't recall if it was Indians or Texans in the Spanish-American war that stormed the hacienda. Back then they had slaves and one was sent to bury the chest and return with the location of the hidden chest. The slave did bury it and came back wounded but died before he could say where it was.
This hacienda was built at the curve of a river which was now dried up. Later generations had laid down large stones, the size of an early Volkswagon, to bolster the river bank and minimize erosion.
There were three of us in the front of my truck and two in the back with the rear window open so we could communicate. During the drive we all talked then the three in front got quiet and were listening to two of the guys in the back. Both of them were planning to pay off all their bills and invest the rest of their share so they'd not have to work for the rest of their lives. They were quite serious.
It was very amusing because the trip was more of a lark than a well equipped treasure hunt which NEVER has any guarantee of paying off....and yet...and yet...these guys were thinking all their financial problems would be solved once they got their 1/6 share (family plus the five of us).
This is how I think many obama supporters think. That he would bail them out..the problem is he bailed out the wrong people and ignored all the ones who hoped they'd receive a life on easy street.
Oh, and about the treasure...we did get a triangulation which appeared to be under a big boulder. We didn't have the equipment or resources to move it, but showed the family its location if they wanted to dig it out one day and see if anything was actually there...
So we all drove back home, sunburned and some with calloused and bleeding hands from digging.
Disappointed but definitely reinforcing the cliche, 'Don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch.'

the 'get some' scam
From an email I sent out today to various friends;
Today I heard something that just made me drop to the floor laughing.
Went to see a friend who is about 72...though nothing works, he still goes after young ladies in their 20s, for pay of course, hey, it's Mexico!
We were talking about several things, a problem with his computer, sales of his Aztec knives being down, the post office ripping him off almost everytime he ships anything, etc...
Then he mentioned that he had received a call from this 20 something year old girl with whom he had shared carnal knowledge several times..(hey, I'm being POLITE)...
He said she calls him every so often asking if he is ok...in other words, ARE YOU DEAD YET?
I asked him why, did she care for him or something and he said no, he had given her a copy of a fake insurance policy he made up and put her down as beneficiary, then he had it notarized and gave her a copy.
She thinks it is real so she slept with him several times (no charge) thinking when this guy kicks the bucket, I'm gonna get his money and stuff.
So she calls him every now and then to 'see if he is ok'....and check up on her fantasy inheritance.
Man, that is just the sickest but funniest way I think I ever heard for scoring.
I'd imagine if she ever found out she could sue him...well, in the US for sure, where you can sue for just about anything, but here I don't think it would even make it past a police complaint.
Just something funny to pass along to your friends and the cool thing, ITS TRUE!!!
Some of the people in the BCC section will know the guy I'm talking about...told him I was going to post it and he said go ahead...
Hasta Luego!!!

Saddam's magic blue stone
Came across this bizarre tale which reminded me of certain claims in magic where you can repel steel or iron blades;
Saddam, the Immortal
According to an interesting article by Sudarsan Raghavan for Mercury News, many Iraqis believe that Saddam Hussein cannot be killed. It is a belief that has been reinforced by his uncanny ability to survive whatever bombs we drop on him.
He survived (or was allowed to survive, depending on who you listen to) the first Gulf War, slipping through George Bush Sr.'s grip and remaining in power. Then he managed to evade the heavy bombs dropped in the early days of this "War for Iraqi Freedom" when coalition forces had reliable intelligence that he was meeting with his cabinet in a certain government building.
Even now that he has been captured, many Iraqis remain convinced that Saddam is immortal.
What gives him this mystical power? A magic blue stone.
Saddam had this magic stone made, so the story goes, by his favorite fortuneteller not long after he came to power 24 years ago. To be sure the stone was effective, it was tested first with a chicken. The stone was somehow placed inside the chicken, then a soldier fired at it at point-blank range. All of its feathers were blown off, but the protected chicken survived.
So Saddam had the magic stone implanted in the upper section of one of his arms, protecting him from any assault, including bullets and bombs.
"That belief," writes Raghaven in the article, "common throughout Iraq, presents uncommon challenges for U.S. and British forces as they try to persuade Iraqis that Saddam is gone and will not return.
Without a body to display, it may be impossible to overcome the mythical creation of a propaganda apparatus that was bent on showing he was a worthy heir to a long line of Babylonian kings."
An Iraqi army deserter named Adnan Mohammad Yousef told Raghaven that Saddam has seven lives and cannot die. He illustrated that belief with a story about an attempted assassination of Saddam by one of his Republican Guard.
When the soldier pointed the gun at the dictator and pulled the trigger, it jammed. Saddam then allegedly grabbed the gun, pointed it at the soldier, saying, "This is how you do it," and shot him dead.
His capture has shown that Saddam has once again escaped death - magic blue stone or no.
