I don't have too many links listed here because I am really picky about the sites that I frequent. Therefore, if they are listed here, that means I think very highly of them.
Anyone who reads my book reviews knows I am seriously into Dover books. The Thrift Editions start as low as $2.00, plus I always get stuff on sale and almost always have an additional coupon for either dollars off or a percent discount. Shipping is free with an order of $50, or sometimes $25.
I have been buying products from Dover for over forty years. They began mostly with reprints of books that had gone out of copyright, and could reissue them really cheap. When I was working on my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in music, I bought tons on Dover music editions for a fraction of what the original would have cost.
Unfortunately, I can't say I feel the same about their current personnel. They often make really bad decisions. Using Google Preview rather than See Inside was one of the worst choices they ever made. I am still mad about that, and yes I have complained. There is often a distinct lack of professionalism and even lack of knowledge about their products. Their website is full of errors. At one point, I began emailing them to point out those errors, but the emails were so frequent, and it only seemed to annoy them and frustrate me. I now contact them as little as possible. But the worst thing they ever did was when they changed to their new website and "accidentally" deleted all eight of my saved shopping carts, which I had since 2009. I had them all organized into categories such as coloring books, Creative Haven books, literature, etc, so when something went on sale I could easily notice it, and transfer it to another shopping cart that I was ready to purchase. I am still working on replacing them.
With the new website came the offering of eBooks. Let me give my readers some strong advice here. Before you actually PAY for a Dover eBook, you can most likely find it for FREE at Project Gutenberg.
As of this writing, Project Gutenberg has over 48,000 digitalized books for just about any eReader, including Kindle, or you may read online with your desktop, laptop, or tablet, all for free. Add to that their affiliates, and you have about 8 million books available! FREE!! This is an ongoing and ever expanding project and it is huge. Before you ever purchase any eBook, check out this site first. For help in using Project Gutenberg and their affiliates on an eReader or any computer, please refer to my newsletter My NEXT Step in Technology
If you have ever browsed through my coloring book art, you have no doubt noticed that I am serious about my coloring books. I painstakingly research whatever subject I'm coloring to ensure my pictures are accurate. Along the way, I have found some essential sites for particular books or types of books. Here I will list the site and the coloring book(s) for which I found it useful.
A world map showing past and present earthquakes and their intensity.
With all the global flooding atrocities now happening every single day, this page highlights the worst of them, along with other informative articles.
Here is a jolting wake-up call to those who think we have years to go before total mass extinction on this planet.
Where Climate Engineering is concerned, there is no other site, nor any other person on this planet that can compete on this subject. Dane is simply the most well-informed and well-researched—an expert far above the rest. He also covers all the other global atrocities contributing to our poisoning, dumbing-down, and acceleration into imminent collapse and extinction, now at blinding speed. I especially recommend ALWAYS reading the comments from his community, also one of the most well-informed and intelligent collections of people on any online site. For anyone wanting to connect the dots and see how it is all fitting together, this is the first place to go. This site literally contains anything and everything anyone would want to know about Climate Engineering. Period.
For anyone still ignorant enough to believe the filth being sprayed in our skies by miltary tankers and even commercial passenger planes is just harmless and innocent "condensation trails", this groundbreaking just-released documentary proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, the truth about the aerosol dispersions being sprayed on us as part of an ongoing climate engineering/weather warfare agenda. And it has been going on since just after WWII. Unless we STOP this atrocity going on above us, very short-term biosphere collapse and mass extinction is imminent.
Though outdated and the filming is rather tacky, this documentary still provides an immense amount of information about H.A.A.R.P. and other ionosphere heaters, and this is scary stuff. And even more scary are the criminally insane people running them. As Dane says, these people are using the atmosphere as a physics lab. They seem to have no grasp that at any moment they could do something that could literally destroy the entire planet. Ooops. Tesla believed there was technology here that could split the planet in two. Let us hope that does not become the next experiment. Martin Sheen is the narrator.
Here is the book that goes along with the documentary. You can download it for free at Internet Archive.
This is about the false narrative surrounding renewable energy and the "Green" movement, which not only is NOT that beneficial to the planet, but often, in the long run, is even more destructive. The Bechtel site which is covered in the film is where Dane worked. It is an excellent documentary presented by Michael Moore, who always has something interesting to communicate. It is also deeply heartbreaking, and highly recommended to watch. It is about one hour and forty minutes long. It will open your eyes and change your perception of "renewable" energy and resources. As typical, Moore exposes hypocrisy with a sense of humor, so it is also an entertaining film.
OMG! GASP!! Not only is the filming of this one amazing and awesome, but the subject matter is of the utmost urgency. The nearly 54 minute documentary covers the disaster unfolding in the Arctic at blinding speed, as not only permafrost continues to melt but "chimneys" are now forming to release the deep, deep store of fossil methane, which is different than permafrost methane being released. Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. There is an estimated 1.3 trillion tons of methane stored beneath the Arctic, and as its release continues to accelerate, it creates more and more deadly feedback loops. IF enough suddenly explodes from beneath the earth, we are done. We become another Venus. Period. This is not sci-fi or far-future scenario. It could happen at any time.
This breathtaking film is as much about the unfolding disaster in the Arctic and rapid melting of the glaciers as about famed photographer James Balog. The name of his project was Extreme Ice Survey, and his goal was to capture the emotion of global warming and the disappearance of the glaciers in four different areas. He then took it on the road, creating a time-laspe effect using his still frames so people could experience the meltdown in a shocking way. What a magnificent documentary, released in 2012.
This is an internal link from this site, supplying you with a great deal of information on seed companies of which I do or have done business. None of them sell GMO seed, and many are organic or carry organic products. While perhaps costlier, I thoroughly recommend buying seed directly from companies rather than retail stores because they supply so much information and a vast variety of seeds and products.
This site, from the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine provides an awesome collection of maps and data related to the accelerated unfolding weather/climate disaster. Please note: This is a new address for this map.
This is a very handy tool to use for those who still refuse to see the atrocity being carried on above us, and especially those who refuse to open their minds to the fact that it is being carried on by our own U.S. military. Here is a flight tracker that allows you to see all the air traffic anywhere in the world, except, of course, military planes which are unmarked and not tracked. I learned that at GeoengineeringWatch. And so, when you go outside and see planes criss-crossing the sky, leaving toxic ugly streaks, and there are no planes showing up on the tracker, it is obvious to all but the totally blind and ignorant that this is indeed a military operation. I have the map set for Northeast Ohio, but it can be saved for any location in the world.
I started four pineapple plants last summer by following these directions. They were in the greenhouse, then outside, and they are inside for the winter, but will soon go back to the greenhouse.
I put in forty fruit bushes in 2019, including currants and gooseberries, which are related, so I can probably use the same method to propagate them, too
This one is a chilling documentary of the mind-control agenda horrors of the CIA, government and military, which is part of the catastrophic systematic destruction of all life on the planet. It is long, so I suggest watching it in segments because it is too overwhelming to take in all at once. Essential information.
It is actually "just" a movie, but for those of us that know, it is more like a documentary. Highly recommended!!
This is the very disturbing movie based on the book by Harry Harrison, Make Room! Make Room! about over population. It stars Charleton Heston and Edward G. Robinson and is very highly recommended.
For anyone that still believes the official story about what really happened on September 11, 2001, this huge site contains compelling evidence to the contrary, compiled from years of research and investigation by thousands of professional licensed architects and engineers from across the world.
I have been using this for years. It's great for dry, cracked skin and rashes caused by the toxic shit falling from the skies, plus is essential for insect bites and stings. Its fresh, mentholated fragrance also helps congestion, even better than Vicks!
I am a big fan of sharing fresh fruits and vegetables with my pets. These two sites have been very beneficial to me to make sure I give them only what is safe and healthy for them. Molly especially loves apples, oranges, bananas and carrots. I keep a container of carrot puree, mixed with cider vinegar and Non-GMO sunflower oil ,sometimes with celery or orange added in the refrigerator. It goes over her dry food and gets mixed in with a little warm water. I have been steeping chunks of apple and orange in hot water to mix with my cats' evening canned-food snack. Both of those fruits are a great detox for heavy metals, and fight bacteria and viruses.
Cider is good for all of us. I have found it especially helpful for ear infections and irritations, which Molly tends to get on a regular basis.
Colloidal silver can be used on cats, dogs, and humans for a variety of health issues. It is what is put in babies' eyes when they are first born. I get mine at GNC. I have found it extremely beneficial for cats. Grizzly Bear kept having chronic mouth/sinus infections, and though it took almost a year of off-and-on treatment, I believe we now have thr problem gone. It is also excellent for urinary tract infections, and has so many other uses. I keep a bottle on hand.
As you have probably noticed, I am really into fancy fonts and dingbats. They decorate my pages all over this site. In fact, I have so many
downloaded into my font file, I had to get rid of some system fonts that I never use or that could not be used on the web. I put them in a junk folder
on my external hard drive. Nearly all the cool fonts I have are from this website, and all are free for non-commercial use. They have
thousands of fonts to choose from and are always getting new ones. It is a really fun site. I have a tendency to get stuck there for long periods, so I
try to stay away unless I just desperately need a new font.
If you have never loaded new fonts, here's a tip: dafont packages theirs in a zip folder. When I go to their page, I right-click on the font I want,
then click "Save Target As" (for Internet Explorer), then I save to my desktop. I have a font-file short-cut on my desktop. I simply open the zip
folder with a double-click, drag out the font to my desktop, then right-click to copy it into my font-file. That's not the way you're "supposed" to
do it, and when I first started getting new fonts, I went through the whole rigamarole of using the Installation Wizard, etc.. What a time-waster.
In any case, be sure to check out this website. When you have LOTS of time. It can be addictive.
This is a free Photoshop-type program. Is it as good as Photoshop? Well, no, but when you compare the price (free), unless you are someone who works with graphics and imaging on a professional basis, this program is pretty darn good, and capable of doing waaaay more than the average person would ever need. They supply tutorials on every single feature on the program, and there are a vast number of features for you to work with or play with; (I recommend playing!!).
If you like eBooks and want to make your own, Calibre is an excellent and simple program to do it. I wrote a Newsletter about it— Using Calibre and Other Cool Technology. However, if you are still running Windows XP, (that would be me), you need to install an earlier version, and the one above is it.
I am all for converters! Here is one that converts an .epub file to PDF, and yes, I have found a need for it, though not often. But this handy little tool that is NOT downloaded onto your device like Calibre, also converts .epub to numerous other formats in three easy clicks. Awesome!
Here are some photo collections from The Weather Channel.
These are really hysterically funny. Owls, it seems are the most popular single species to provide humorous poses.
