Everyone Happy New Year!
2010
As my wife and I start this new year, we, like you have high hopes for a better, healthier, and prosperous year. We are claiming this year for us.
I ended 2009 in worse health. I personally have and have had very high blood pressure, untreated for over a year now, and it got the better of me. Been off work for 3 weeks, many doctor visits and tests. Now under medication, it's almost under control, and few days from going back to work. Next is sleep tests for 'sleep apnea'. Also, changes in diet, and exercise.
We are both overweight, and need to lose weight. So, hopefully, this will help that as well as my blood pressure. The goal will be to be to get my blood pressure down naturally, reduce the blood pressure medications, and then finally get off them completely.
These are things that I've been planning on doing for some time now. Not the medication, but the rest. Now I REALLY need to get started.
Usually I don't make New Year Resolutions, but this time is different. So, from now on, I and my wife, will exercise, eat healthier, and get our health back.
One of the diet plans is a mainly raw food 21 day plan by Chet Day. If you'd like a copy of it [click here and download "21 Days" pdf. -I'll be adding it soon] I'll be reporting it to you as the days go by. First, we will be reading it, and making needed plans to implement it.
So, more on that in a couple of days.
Another resolution I am going to make, is to focus on is my website Sustainable-America.com Help me, help you and others make our local communities, families, and country, stronger and energy independent. This can become a reality, if we believe and act. Learn with me what others ARE DOING in their local areas to become sustainable and renewable. Not just in energy, but in as many areas of our lives as possible.

I for one have high blood pressure, and am working on lowering it. Changing lifesytle and what I eat. Just found an article a common food that shows promise for lowering high blood pressure. There was a study done about it too. The article is called "5 Easy Ways to Lower Blood Pressure Using 1 Great Fruit".
Let me know what you think about it.

I was doing some research for one of my sites, Alternative Energy Radio, and even though rain water collection has nothing to do with alternative energy, it is an alternative sustainable project, so, I will talk about those also. Anyway, I was looking at some different articles on rain water collection. At the end of this one article, see below
How to Build a Rainwater Collection System - wikiHow
Under Warnings: it says:
- Check the legality of doing this with your local city officials, as it is illegal in many areas to collect and hold any kind of water for re-use. E.g. Colorado, US[1]
What is our country coming to? Who do "they" (government officials) think they are? Do they own the rain??? I DON'T THINK SO! I for one, will NEVER go ASK if I can collect rain water. I think this is one of the stupidest things I've read.
I think my Father, owns the rain and gives it to us all, not some group of officials to control.
What do you think? Let me know and use the comments below.

You got to see this. I've heard about this before, and have read articles on it, but now I've seen a video of the process. Are you interested in alternative, sustainable energy? Then go watch this.
Jean Pain, a forest caretaker in south France, came up with a way to heat his water to 140F, get methane gas to use for his 5 bedroom house for cooking and generate electricity, and fuel his truck, PLUS fertilize his farm. Enough to last about 18 months. All this from a huge pile of woodchips. Watch these 2 videos to learn how!

If you live in America, do you have any friends, family, or neighbors who are working on sustainable, alternative, energy projects? If so, let them know that I am looking for them. I would like to tell others about what they are doing.
If they'd like to share what they're doing, I'll get the word out about it, and feature their story on http://AltEnergyRadio.com and on some other website properties.
I'm in the process of getting that site going and am excited about working with alternative, sustainable projects around the US. People need to hear about what is possible and start to take control of "THEIR" energy needs. Someday, they WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES or GO WITHOUT! Tough times ARE A COMING FOLKS.
Stay toned, I'll have more on this as time goes on.
Cheers,

I have not been doing so good with my posting schedule so far this year. I've been very busy with projects (sites) and getting one ready to get going. Need to stick to my plan though.
Good news. My http://AlternativeEnergyRadio.com site is set up and ready to get going. Plans are to do interviews of people who HAVE DONE, or ARE WORKING ON, sustainable projects, ones that are really working. Like this guy in France, who makes a compost pile of wood chips. A BIG pile, and inside has a "batch digester" with older wood chips in it to make methane gas. Wraps water pipe around it to capture heat from the inside of the pile, which also heats the digester. The water is heated up to about 140 degrees F. Hot water for a 5 bedroom house. Methane gas from the digester, for the oven and stove, and transportation.
It works for about 18 months. Then he has great compost for his farm. I'll be posting the article I've found on it.
I read about this years ago and just recently found it again. He wrote a book on it, but it doesn't seem available. I'm going to try and tack it down and make it available to those who want it.
This is just one example. The idea is to find all that I can, and help them to get the word out. Maybe you know of some. Let me know who they are. The radio show will be a call in show. Interview them via phone, and open it up to listeners for questions.
Another one I have in mind is David Blume. He is an expert on making ethanol alcohol. He wrote a book called, "Alcohol Can Be A Gas!"
One last thing for tonight. A motivational statement, that inspires me.

That's it for today. Take care and God Bless,

I'm a little late for my Happy New Year post. Five days late. It's the 5th of January. Anyway,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I made a decision yesterday! It hurt a little bit. ;-) I have not been using this site much, and it is high time I did. So my decision was to post to this blog everyday, first thing in the morning. It will be some type of motivational, positive thought, slogan, or saying.
Just in case someone else reads my posts, I hope they will help you too.
I've found that to dwelling on the negative, never helps! It does NOT correct it, solve it, or help anyone, including myself. So, why do it. Instead, dwell on the positive. Not that every negative HAS a positive, but STOP thinking about negative things, and instead, think about positive things.
I remember a story I hear or read a few years ago, that changed my thinking about having a positive thinking. It goes like this…
Imagine being strained on a deserted island, with one other person. You get a severe appendicitis! A deadly situation. YOU ARE DEAD, without an operation. You are in luck though, you have a fully stocked medical first aid kit, that has every thing you need, including a manual that tells exactly what to do.
Now there is another person there to help you, and to do the surgery. Tell me, which situation would you rather have. That person says:
- I can't do this. I'm sorry, you are going to die!
- I can do this! Look, I know I'm not a doctor, and I've NEVER done anything like this before, but, we have everything we need, you won't feel a thing. I also have a manual that shows me what I need to do. We can do this!
Number two, of coarse!
Now, having a "positive" attitude, did not and does not, in itself, change the situation one bit. What it does do is "open up" the world of possibilities! I can, instead of "I can't".
So, think more about, and tell yourself, the "I Can" instead of "I Can't".
That's it for today. Have a GREAT 5th of January.
