wild fires and acting Presidential

"Wild fires have been increasing in frequency and ferocity."

Mens Journal August 2014

This is a truth. As a person desiring to campaign for the US Presidency for the years 2016-2024,

This one of many things I would like to address.  My slogn "Not Politics as Usual", means even though dirt may be slung my way, I intend to shower off.  Part of me says that campaigning for US President should be a popularity race.  The only one I have to be popular with is "The Electorate".

But awiser partof me says A United States President has to havegood leadership.  Even though truthfully As US President I will have lots of people telling me what to do.  On the issue of wildfires, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."  From 1993-2013 the cost of battling wild fires has gone from $240,000,000 to $1,800,000,000.  This is huge. Being an environmental and social activist means I like to be out in the woods camping out.  I have done this a lot. As a libertarian I enjoy my freedoms. When out camping in a woodland  I usually build 'Fire pits' instead of open camp fires. The difference is that a fire pit is a hole with rocks surrounding it and oftentimes a metal grating on top. This help reduce the spread of fire in case of wind.  But if I were to build a home like the many millions of Americans have in a so called "wooey", (woodland urban interface),  "Men's Journal, August 2014."  I would definitely take steps to keep my property from being kindling. Such as having a tin roof instead of wood or tar shingle roof.  I would probably have a chain link or stone work fence as well.  These two things  are a good start.  These are just acouple of things that ought to be done to inhibit the spread of  a potential wild fire.  

The state of New Mexico has done a lot of things to reduce therisk of future wildfires, I imagine if California asked, New Mexico would gladly help them with techniques and laws  they use to minimize  or prevent wildfires.  Aswell as showing whatcanbe done to helpreseedburnt out lands.  

Look Good Naked...What happens when?

What happens if you find yourself unable to exercise.  Maybe longer hours at work.  Or worseyet You go on vacation and find yourself not wanting to exercise like you used to.  Vacation times over but really youdo not want to go back to the gym.  Committing yourself to a healthier lifestyle thatincludes eating different and exercising more is like going to church on Sunday.  Easy to not do.  Where your mind goes your body follows. In this case its all going back to work is the easier thing.  That paycheck pays for everything else.  Geting back towork aftercoming off of  yourvacation isthe first step.  Now lets pick up the good eating.  The hardest thing now is to recommit to  start exercising again.  do this in baby steps, instead of running 4 miles lets just run a fewblocks thenmaybe some more.  These little things will have you back on your fitness trak soon enough.
    I need your help here, ask some questions to give me some more material to present.

Get your engines running again.

      

Go ahead already, legalize recreational marijuana.

      What is the hold up legalizing marijuana for recreational usage.
 I was perusing the NY Times and saw that a lot of State governors think that if they legalize marijuana then this would say they are soft on crime.

HOLD IT!!  Marijuana should have never been criminalized in the first place.
This was a Richard M. Nixon's hard line stance for voter popularity.   To keep classifying marijuana possession and use as criminal is silly.

As a candidate for the US Presidency of 2016 and 2020, I fully realize that their will be prople who, are responsible with their usage of marijuana.  As well as persons who will want to see what they can get away with.  I started encouraging responsible use of marijuana a month ago on my facebook page,  Steven Childs.777.
I am sticking with my stance.  As far as mood altering substances comparing marijuana to heroin or meth is like comparing fruit flavored water (Marijuana) to whiskey(heroin,meth,crack, etc.)  These are not the same substances.  According to material I read from UT in Dallas, unlike alcohol abuse, marijuana use does not cause organ damage.  Don't get me wrong marijuana does effect your mental faculties and reflexes this is why responsible usage of marijuana means do not drive, do not go to work under the influence of THC. Rather get high when your at home not going to work and call Dominoe's or anyone else that delivers. 
     After a couple of years I believe that responsible usage of marijuana will be the norm in the USA, without government oversight.  In the mean time all of you governors hem hawwing or sitting on the fence and just looking, ferget about it.  Legalize the recreational usage of marijuana in your states, regulate marijuana like alcohol, charge high prices and high taxes for a little while. Just because recreational usage of marijuana is legal, let everyone know that if you are caught driving under the influence of 'MJ' you will get arrested and you will go to jail.  Much like the person driving drunk.

Steven Childs for US President

I want to get something out there that is on my mind.  Earlier in 2012 I remember seeing all of these people on TV crying about how America wants to punish the reich people by raising their taxes. Some of these people crying the loudest were our elected (I say this loosely) representatives.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS BRIEFLY.

In the USA today the upper 20% income earners are in control of 80% of Americas wealth.  This is like 2 people having 80 cents to share.  This is opposed to the bulk of Americas work force.

With us (Me Too), This is like 8 people fighting over 20 cents.

In all practical terms the only people with the financial wherewithal to pay down America's debts are the top 20% of American's controlling 80 cents of every dollar in the American economy.

I would support a straight across flat tax for individuals, and businesses something akin to 15% of gross income for all federal, State, and Local taxes.  Said differently if your earn $50,000 a year income, you pay $3,500 as your entire medical (health care) and tax debt. By the same token if your income is $1,000,000 per year then your total medical (health care) and tax burden should be $150,000.  

think about this briefly today in America your incorporated business earns $1.00 profit.

Post taxes you now have 50 cents to pay your employees and service your debt, grow your business etcetera. Your employees get $1.00 pre-taxable income.  They make say $1.00.

Their post tax income and benefits package leaves them say 70 cents.

with this 70 cents they pay 35 cents for housing. Now your employees have only 35 cents 

left to live on and many places have a sales tax too say about 8 cents on the dollar.  This 

means your employees really have a spendable income of only 27 cents left on every dollar they earn.  See the picture.  The economic gulf between the uber-wealthy, the wealthy, and everybody else has become a huge chasm.  I was raised in the 60's and 70's.  It took America 150 years to have a "Nuclear Family" or strong middle class.  It took 20 years to destroy the idea.

Said another way a man could raise his family on his income as the sole provider in the late 50's until the 80's.

In the 70's women chose to enter the work force to be able to let their families have a little fun.

By doing things like going out to eat and visit Disneyland.

In the 80's women had to get a job.

Today families are fractured.  I could argue that this is because Many American have to work 

more than 1 job just to get by.

Life in America was not meant to be this way.

Look Good Naked 2014

Welcome to 2014.  January is gone and February is only a week old.  My goal this year is to compete in and NPC sanctioned bodybuilding contest in July at Corpus Christi, TX.
It is a money thing, if I have it I'll be there.  How about you any successes you have achieved in 2013 since reading your first post here?  Under look good naked.  This post is short but I trust your commitment to get fit in 2014 isn't short but underway right now.

I am running for US President in 2016 but starting today.  visit www.concepte-3.blogspot.com and read "Not Politics as Usual".

Space the next industry

This post maybe could have gone to www.concepte-3.blogspot.com,.

The space program is becoming a corporate run business.  Instead of putting man on Mars maybe we should start with a lunar outpost.  An industrial out post used to produce things like super conductive materials that may be grown as opposed to built.  It is a thought.  What about extraction of ores?  This could be done but today I am not open to celestial models of planetary spin and gravitational interactions.  Fortunately other people are.  The question then becomes how much can we take before causing problems.  I like the idea of

capturing asteroids.  If we can pull this off then building a transcontinental Mag-Lev train here in the US would be easy and cost effective.  The cool thing is that newer materials have been found that go into a super conductive state at higher temperatures than ever before.  Here is the next view. If humanity were to expand to the stars then we would need to start with an industrial base on the moon.  Here we can train people heading out to space.  At this time though I am inclined to believe that ET will make themselves known to us.  Probably part of some federation of inhabited planets.  Now if their is no other life but humanity that can make it to the stars.  Then I would see it as our duty to colonize other planets.  

When I think of manufacturing on the moon, I think of metamaterials being developed that can absorb a great amount radioactive spectrum and use these energies to power our space going craft.  I can see it happening with Virgin space and other companies ferrying humans from Earth to the Moon to work and live on lunar outpost. The thing what I am talking about is being pursued now today here on Planet Earth.  Later I'll have a new post for concepte-3's blogspot.  I think it time to engineer a planetary drive system that works. Basically an interstellar spacecraft that works for the long term.

Look Good Naked 'December'

Hey, Hey, Hey For those that have been following the 3 month total body transformation, congratulations if you have been putting in the gym time and the writing time now you are seeing improvements.

Awhile back I said throw away the scale and let the mirror be your new friend.
How many of you did this?

Now it is time to bring out the scale as well as your food journal and training journal.  Initially I said hey you want to find your calorie set point.  Weigh yourself today.  For 2 weeks record all of the food and beverages you consumed and record approximate calories consumed.  2 weeks later weigh yourself again.  If you lost weight then every pound lost is 3500 calories burned.  If you gained weight there are two considerations.  It take 3500 calories to gain a pound of fat.  Closer to 5800 calories to gain a pound of muscle.  Muscle being the more metabolically active tissue, and the one you want more of.

Doing this you learned some good stuff.  December is the last month of this initial transformation cycle.  December gives us a bonus week too!

As far as Thanksgiving and Christmas go, eat that food and have fun.

Here are some of my pictures.  I started at about 278# pounds.

Now I am pushing toward 294#.  My muscles have gotten a lot harder too.

This is evidenced by the denser look.  Now lets talk about your next 

tool, "The Tape Measure".

Me ai use this tool but have learned that muscle size increase is a lot slower than strength and density increases.  So I say if your really new like less than 3 months training with weights or whatever take measurements every month.

After a year or more take measurements only once every 2 months or so.

Women have a couple of additional measurements to take.  Ladies with that bra on take two measurement's.  One Use your tape measure (sewing tape)

and measure the circumference of your back with the tape across your nipples.

The second measurement is just under your bra .  This will give you a more accurate chest measurement.

Here are some more measurements to take.  If you want to notice size increase or decrease faster then use CM.  If you happy with American standard than use inches.

To save space I will list measurements to take, later I'll break out my tape

measure and show you the measurements in photos.

record your height and weight.  Wrist circumference and ankle circumference.

Thes measurement will not change soon.

As a guideline if your wrist are 5" or < you have a small bone structure.

If your wrist are 6"-7" than your bone structure is medium.

Which means 7" + you have a big bone structure.

Now measure neck, shoulders, chest (women take 2 measurements as explained),

upper arms , lower arms, wisat at navel height, hips around middle of your 

bottom.  Upper legs are tricky.  

For upper legs you may pick close to top near groin of if you prefer about 1/3 of the way down.  Then of course calves at the biggest part.

Now you no where you are today  Record this information in your training journal and date it.  Enjoy the Christmas holiday, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah or other festive time. For the Pagans and Wiccans this is the time near winter solstice and the time when the god is buried in the womb. 

Later this month or in January I will talk about a concept called "Periodization".
