Wall Street Stock Market -- scam going on now
The FEDs have given a break to the banks by lowering the rate at which they borrow money.
Guess what they are doing with it?
Reinvesting in the stock market!
But they are going to do this slowly...so that it appears as if the market is climbing back up, trying to get the average person to think that there is a rally going on.
But then they'll pull the rug from under you again when the time is ripe!
Don't be fooled! It's a scam! Keep your money out of the stock market!

Canadian Police Caught Attempting To Stage Riots
Authorities admit rock-wielding "black bloc anarchists" were really police infiltrators
Quebec provincial authorities have admitted that three rock-wielding mask-wearing "anarchists" were in fact police infiltators used to gather information on protesters at this week's SPP summit, but authorities are still ludicrously denying the fact that the provocateurs were intent on causing a riot in order to justify a heavy-handed response.

Burningman Weather Report:
http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Forecast.aspx?location=USNV0033

Thu Aug 23 BRC: WEATHER It's going to be a HOT Burning Man - report from the Playa
http://people.tribe.net/giselle/blog?topicid=239555dc-7b1f-45bc-bd81-264d82ef962b
Today, it's even hotter, at least 100 degrees, but gorgeous! Calm, clear, and almost beach like.
The playa is unusually soft and crumbly, and in center camp, there are already deep ruts in it,
at times, you can sink into ten inches of powder.
There is wireless access all over the playa this year, thanks to a generous donor.
(Hint: I bet it's those wacky guys who started Google

Report from the playa: There is so much fine playa dust of the ground
looks and feels like you're walking on a very fine sand beach. Not solid ground at all. It's not like that everywhere by any means, but it is in enough places that when wind kicks up it will be majorly dusty. Dustproofing your tent this year is a good idea. Use an old sheet and duct tape to cover the mesh.
http://people.tribe.net/bobzilla/blog?topicid=21de5e9e-f81c-4793-aae9-08e54a21a59d

Black Rock .. .DUST !!!!
Oh great! just what we want MORE Dust:. I also heard there was VERY little rain this year, probobly an issue.
rg This email from the DPW:
If you are coming out to Black Rock CIty
Hey everyone, I've been on the Playa for 2 weeks
now and I just wanted to give some advice to anyone coming out for
the event. We have had MAJOR dust storms as the playa is powder
fine this year. Of the past 4 days, 3 have had white out dust storms
lasting anywhere from a few hours to all day long. All the people
coming in will only add to this, so be prepared for some intense
weather out here. Bring lots of bandanas, extra goggles, dust proof your
tent before you get
out here, be prepared for longer set ups and long
lines at the gate.

BRC Playa weather
Greetings from the playa where I am happy and well
and holded up in my car. I dont want this to deter anyone from coming, as
it's still a blast - but..batten down the hatches kids, cause the wind
is the worst I've seen in the 12 years I have been coming here. For those of
you around when the big wind hit last year and took our camp down, that is
the way it has been the bulk of the time - really that windy, mostly non
stop. The airstream is shaking and rocking and my tent is tied to every
rack and bumper and hitch the truck & airstream have, and I'm still unsure if
it's going to hold up (one pole already snapped). The white out's are
lasting a long time, some well over 5 hours. I hear it has been like this for
weeks, dont know if it
will continue through the event. but the green man
is about nature, so be
prepared for the force of nature to remind us how
small we are! The good
news is that it's warm thus far, even in the middle
of the night. However,
the garage tents around here seem to be holding up
when they have no walls
&
are tied down every few feet - who knows, maybe the
wind will subside. in
case it doesnt, i suggest that if you are debating
between a tent or a
van/suv, you pick the car. be sure to put
everything in bins that have
locking lids, and in ziplocks inside those. if your
tent has any open
netting areas that do not zip closed with a solid
fabric, i suggest glue
gunning a fabric onto them, closing them up
permanently, before you come
here (fabric on the outside of the tent, so it's
between the tent & the
rainfly).you can always cut it off later. mine has
a few open ones and
theres a good 1/8 inch layer of dust inside, on top
of the bed, the floors,
everywhere. had to sleep with dust mask last night.
too much to keep up
with
& too late to close them off. the wind/dust is
coming from the same
direction as always so be sure to park your cars in
a way that blocks it
from anything you put up. and lots of bungees, ive
been through 20 just for
my tent. phil - great decision in sleeping in the
rider truck. i think that
is all to tell - just a whole lot of wind. will
update you if it stops. am
still having a total blast, the wind is part of the
fun for sure, and look
forward to seeing you'll in a week!

PS - wind reminders -fully enclosed goggles for day
& night (not only dark
ones), things that light up so u can be seen,
bungees, rope, 2 ft long
reebar - more than you think you need, heavy
lotion, lip stuff, babywipes,
giant sheet or tarp or something to cover all the
stuff in your tent (to
stop dust from getting into your bed), and lots of
soft towels - more than
you think you need. xx

Sat Aug 25: Really Really Free Market Noon-Dusk Dolores Park
A Really Really Free Market is like a potluck for whatever you want to give or take away. Have you ever brought one dish to a potluck and gone away with a full belly and a balanced meal? Everybody brings something and goes away with more.
We all have skills, ideas, objects, smiles, talents, friendship, excitement, discussions, and many other things to share. If we bring them all together at the Really Really Free Market, we can provide more balanced and full lives for everyone. As a community we have many more resources than we do as individuals. If we share our resources we won't need to buy as many new ones. This uses fewer of the Earth's resources, and fewer of our working hours, leaving us more time to devote to ourselves and our communities. Would we all work forty hours a week at one job if we didn't feel we had to? What if instead we worked at improving our individual skills and talents and shared them with each other? We would all spend more time doing things we enjoyed. The Really Really Free Market is an attempt to put these ideas into practice for four hours every month and then spread the seeds everywhere - share, share, share.
Please help us keep the Really Really Free Market a 100% FREE and non-commercial event. Once a month, let's come together and forget about trading, bartering and money. Leave the business cards at home and remember the joy of giving for the sake of giving. Help us keep Art SF clean. If no one takes what you brought, please bring it home with you.
