Prometheus the film depicts Mr. Weyland ( Guy Pearce ) wearing a robotic exoskeleton as an old man, but now such a device exists in a crude early form called the SuitX’s Phoenix exoskeleton! $40,000 gets you some cool gear, if you are disabled to the point where this machine gives you an edge over someone in a wheel chair!

History Made of Moments : You Live in the Moment
Long ago I had the pleasure of briefly studying Zen Buddhism, under the direction of legendary teacher Rob Prufer. The deepest meaning I was able to derive from this study was that the core tenant in Zen Buddhism is to live in each moment completely and as fully engaged as possible, focusing on here and now, being happy where you are at, aware, awake, alive.

Europeans Fitter From More Movement, Higher Food Costs & Smaller Serving Sizes
Traveling to western Europe may shock people from China, India, America or other parts of the world where food is cheaper. Serving sizes in France for example, according to my own experiences in 2000 were about 40% smaller per dollar eq at a restaurant. In Tokyo Japan I saw the same high food costs, smaller servings, smaller people who walk more and drive less, often riding trains standing up.

EHT in Coffee : Healthy Neurons = Sharper Cognition
A friend of mine recommended Nerium, an EHT supplement, which caused me to start researching EHT (eicosanoyl-5-hydroxytryptamide). I promptly purchased a French Press, 2 bags of whole bean coffee and a coffee grinder. Beware of the supplement EHT, its a pyramid scheme distribution system. The inventor is a liar, and Nerium is full of questionable components like titanium dioxide! Do your research before you buy supplements. Organic Coffee is a better solution!

Budget Math : Honda PCX150 Scooter Edition + Honda CRZ TCO and CPM ^^
Post Violates Design Principle normally used in my other writing: its my frugal thinking about budget math to understand why I am paying to have and use my stuff, to understand is to know, and to know is to understand more completely. Knowledge is power, set yourself free!
CPM and TCO for our 2013 Honda PCX-150
Cost $4600 new Paid in Full
At 85mpg, it sips fuel, cheap to fill the 1.6 gallon tank, good for 120mi of riding at 55mph as a realistic cruising speed maximum, though it can peak to 68mph max before the 153cc liquid cooled fuel injected single achieves the RPM range limiter, the 12.9hp failing to elevate the speed beyond 68mph max.
$2.90 for 1 gallon that can move the scooter about 75 to 105 mi, centering around 85MPG in city suburban use cases. Not meant for constant highway use, but it can do it....
Cheap to fuel
27,000mi of fuel will cost 317 gallons, or $1000 estimated though 2023
Tires $400 pair, every 8000 mi : $1400 over 27,000mi
Services $1500 over 27,000 mi
Repairs $600 over 27,000 mi
1000+ 1400 + 1500 + 600 = $4500 operating costs vs $4600 capital costs or $9100
Estimated mi log yield in 12 years to 27,000 mi or about 2200mi per year $759 per year or $63/mo
Out of pocket realized costs only $40/ mo now because the capital cost was already paid, and the title is held, owned. Its ours to take care of, use, pay for, enjoy! Hopefully safely for a long time!
Special gear cost warning, helmets $750, gloves $100, boots $200, etc, the special gear for summer safety, its not cheap, we are taking about $1200 of gear potentially if you go pro out of the gate.
We are talking about a CPM of $0.34 per mile, a 10 miles drive will cost $4 total
We are talking about a TCO of $10,500 with gear updates rarely!
With Meg, other special gear, we are into the $12,000 range on a motor scooter, one obtained by trading in our 2009 Suzuki GSX-R600 + $504 cash to get the PCX free and clear after all taxes and so forth, sold! 3 years later and it only has 2,700 miles, but I will fix that now!
Now we live 35mi away from the place I will drive it round trip perhaps 70 times per year max if I use special warm dry gear that I do not own to operate rain or shine in spring and fall, and warm in winter if dry and non freezing temps.
The sad trade in value is only at $1450 now, according to Tom of Lake City Powersports, the owner operator sales guy who sold me the PCX160 back in April of 2013
Brief CRZ 2014 TCO
$78,300 for 200,000 mi of operation or $0.40 per mile
Total via addition of following fee/ cost estimates
$22000 base price
$5000 options, warranty additions and a service contract
$3000 in loan fees over 7 years
$5000 repairs for 200,000 mi
$4500 services for 200,000 mi
$21,000 for fuel for 200,000 mi
$17,800 for 20 years of insurance

The high climate and air pollution costs of low pump prices. People rushing out to buy gas guzzlers (SUV) while the pump price is low $2/gal, many will end up keeping these vehicles for 11 more years, long after the price rebounds to $6 or more per gallon. I hope to see oil hit $200 per barrel in the near future.

My first two bikes were 600cc super sports (wrist strain, awkward seating angle), my current bike is a very comfy but kind poky PCX150 scooter, the next one we plan to add to our vehicle collection is a Honda CB300F. Not until the 2017 model year at the soonest. I have to save $5k after paying off $4k of existing credit card debt at 17% interest. This gives Honda that time to recall all the 2015 and early 16 models that have defective crank bearings and defective camshaft bearings. The fix from Honda is not out until Aug 2016.

Emotional Logic
Thinking about how logical thinking and emotional thinking coexist in our mental cloud computer framework.
Our minds are composed of layers of complex abstract logic, sensory information processing, memory management, process cycle focus control, motor control, endocrine control, biological control though neuro-peptides, small signaling chemicals that control the living systems of the body, trillions of cells working together in a mutualism system of self improvement, repair, and functioning, everyone is born then become old and then dies, ephemeral like the blooms of a flower. While we are here, what we think about and say, how we affect each other. Its not all the logic and reason of IBM watson, but something more than Apple Siri or Google Now, something more than Amazon Alexa through Echo, each person is more than those AI engines put together, our mind is far more complex than the cloud computers of today, but they are both computers. Your brain is a fuel cell information engine, with automatic pattern recognition, general intelligence, acute skill building potential, and amazing motion control, organ control, and body system control.
Think about Systems
What is a system?
What are related components, how do our cells know what to do. Biological Intelligence is totally automatic, healing outside the realm of medicine today, the body heals itself before dying. Complicated intellectual frameworks to think of our minds as layers of cloud computing, with natural language processing, and automatic idea creation, building, innovation, memory sorting, memory storage and deleting of unnecessary memory data. Our brain is like Intel X point memory compute, a product that does not exit where the memory and CPU are the same device. Your brain is the network, the internet of your body!

Papa Schwarz Memories Live On
Get down..... and boogie
Here, we can see my parents enjoying life to the fullest, to celebrate the holy union of my sister to her lovely husband.
Today was a sad day, as the world lost a wonderful man name Ken Schwarz, the only father I ever knew, he adopted me and treated me as his own. He was a great dad, a great person, a funny guy, a real man. He went through a lot of hardships in life but his optimism, sense of of humor and light hearted positivity prevailed.
My wife and I spent a good portion of our day and night grieving, with eyes of tears, and hearts full of sadness and sorrow, but we share this GIF image to celebrate the spirit of Papa Schwarz, our beloved father who passed away today. We will not remember him for his death, but instead we share this to celebrate the life he lived, his spirit of fun and happiness.

Ancient Sun Energy Depletion
When a barrel of oil can be turned into $700 of plastic and chemicals, why are we burning it for $40 to $140? Why are vehicles so aerodynamically inefficient? Why are their no choices but blended international petrol at the gas station pump? Is this capitalism if the burning of oil products does not make economic sense? What about the ecological impacts on earths food farms from the pollution emitted by all the exhaust pipes in the world? What about our economy, we make still have to import 10 million barrels per day to fuel our transportation infrastructure, is that economically sustainable?
Sun Energy
1 square meter of earth or the ocean under full daylight is receiving 1kw of sunlight energy. Plants use this energy to covert water, co2 and minerals in living soil into food for us to eat and for animals to eat so that we can eat the animals too.
Life on earth is solar powered, industry is not. We power most of our infrastructure burning ancient sunlight, carbon based fuels that were once plants and animals. Subjected to the heat and pressure in earths crust, these plants and animals were slowly cooked in the absence of oxygen, creating hydrogen rich carbon molecules. Today we mine this coal and oil and natural gas from earths crust in an unsustainable system of natural resource depletion, pollution generation and ecological food system damage that is ultimately bad for our long term success as a civilization. The entrenched powerful industries that render this burnable carbon from the earth want to keep society linked to using energy dense liquid fossil fuels in transportation.
When a barrel of crude oil can be converted to $700 worth of plastics and petrochemicals, what on earth are we doing burning oil in crude inefficient internal combustion engine applications willing to pay only $40 to $140 for that barrel. The oil industry could make way more money and pressure society into moving beyond burning oil by converting most of the oil to plastics and chemicals.
So, then if it does not make economic sense to burn the increasingly hard to get at oil from earth crust, why are we still doing it? Stupidity and corruption in the oil sector and government and a lack of reasonable choices or alternatives at the consumer level. At the gas pump of today you have only one choice most of the time, petrol, is that a free market ?

Guns Are Dead
I put a gun on the ground and yelled at, but it would not respond. I demanded that it get up and do something, but it laid their lifeless making no choices at all. It dawned on me, this gun is an inanimate object that requires a Human operator.

The computational power of todays computer networks will pave the way towards a more honest future. In the future the truth about everything will be easier to access because of ubiquitous surveillance.
Charge where you park : Or Not
The key to electric vehicle mass market success evades society because of a simple problem that can be easily fixed in most places: the lack of electrical outlets where cars are parked.
Why Blame Lance Armstrong
Grand liar of Cycling, King of performance enhancing drugs, but not a drug chemist. What about the system of doctors and drug companies that produce the juice that these athletes use to dope?

Beard Blast 2015
I have not posted anything in a long time, for this I am sorry to my blog readers. I have been busy, sick, and most of my idea outreach efforts have been on FaceBook, in a more casual fashion. This post is a simple GIF creation to document my early 30's experiments with beard growing ^^

| Eva the 13 Leaf S & Meg & I Blink Charging at the Ballard Fred Meyers |
Officially rated at 75mi per charge (EPA), the owners manual tells that the single charge range you will experience as a LEAF operator varies between about 47 mi worse case and 138mi ideal 38MPH cruise case. That old saying YMMV fits the LEAF range estimate like a glove.

Vehicle Fuel Economy : Budget Math 0.1 in $2014 USD Prices
Your budget is affected by fuel prices and the fuel economy of your vehicles. Here I examine in a crude brief way the relative impact that fuel prices will have on your annual budget given current and emerging vehicle energy economy trends projected into the future.
Positive Ideas Enhance Information and Knowledge Processing in the Human Brain
Lies, greed, theft, hatred, bigotry, overpopulation, pollution, corruption, dishonesty, infidelity, betrayal, killing, objectifying others, narcissism, apathy, foolishness, stupidity, failure.
The human brain is a knowledge engine, where your senses take in information from the world and pipe these experience to your consciousness via your nervous systems information network. The brain itself is massively parallel information processing network. As you go through life your brain learns concepts, ideas, knowledge, philosophies, and other forms of information in your mental index. Your biochemical emotions help to shape the ongoing direction of conscious information processing in your brain. Your emotions act like artistic filters on your objective information processing core. If you think of your brain like a google search engine of your own life experiences, then you might come to understand that your are an ongoing composite information engine that self construction and automatically adapts as you age, to control your movements with biological kinetic control superior than any current commercial humanoid robots. The humans brain computer is a powerful information and knowledge engine. If you run negative software in your computer, it will reduce the power of your information processing. Sick toxic ideas diminish the brains computational efficiency and throughput power.
When you think about how toxic thinking gives rise to reduced information processing in the brain you will see that bad people make the world less enjoyable to themselves and all other people. Toxic thinking holds people back from achieving their true potential. When evil people start to reject sin and evil ideas, the start to heal, and when they start being happy and kind, it causes changes that give rise to an increase in wisdom and intelligence. Experiences and life experience that gives old people deeper perspective, only comes to those who have the highest and most honorable mental processes. The kindness, most intelligent, and best people have extremely powerful minds that they use to show themselves and other other people love and kindness with. Evil thinking causes people to abuse each other. Toxic thinking causes some people to make choices that end up causing pollution for all other people. Even the people in the oil and gas sector have to breath in some of their industrial pollution.
Mental illness are negative unproductive thinking and information processing malfunctions
Greed is a mental illness, as is dishonesty, bigotry, corruption, etc. These sick aspects of people are forms of mental illness: dangerous mental illnesses that allow bad people to harm other people in sick and twisted ways. A polluter poisons other people or the environments we share for example.
A team is only as strong as the weakest player. A business is only as strong as the weakest employee.
States are made of people, and so is the federal government. These sleazy crooks in public office are just normal people overcome by the sick dishonest bribes of evil heathen corporations that care only for increasing their bottom line at any cost. If we want a better government we need better people who do not fold like a house of cards to bribes from evil people and sociopathic corporate entities.
Fat, sick, tired and half dead, many Americans are checked out mentally to physically sick and weak to do anything about anything and too tired and in too much pain to care about much of anything. What kind of country does a population like this produce ?
The SAD standard american diet is filled with toxic semi-edible food like substances, pesticides, synthetic preservatives, artificial dyes and sweeteners, high fructose GMO corn trash, and other low upfront cost high sickness cost processed food garbage : and the people who consume these toxic cheap boxed foods regularly are sick with diabetes, obesity, cancer, joint failure, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases caused by inactivity and an unhealthy diet; sick with preventable diseases that come from living an unhealthy lifestyle of mediocrity, ignorance, stupidity, apathy and laziness.
Yes, autism speaks, and so do all the other preventable diseases that Americans suffer from regularly. Theses disease all shout very clear messages :
Eat Sick and Live Sick
Pollution causes Diseases
Pesticides cause Sicknesses
GMO is Toxic
Greed is Bad
Laziness is Unhealthy
Sick Mothers = Sick Children
Many American Children are sick with strange diseases because their mothers are eating the SAD standard american diet, and living lifestyles of exposure to synthetic toxic chemical products that cause major problems to the fetus.
Many American mothers are unknowingly making their children sick by living near golf course chemical exposure; to agricultural fungicide, herbicide, and pesticide spray. Many mothers spray poisonous chemical artificial perfume chemicals on their skin, eat poisonous preservatives, dyes, and artificial sweeteners, and consumer other chemicals that harm the unborn next generation.
Many mothers are fat sick and half dead when they are pregnant, handicapping their children with a sick lifestyle, just as the alcoholic mother gives her unborn children fetal alcohol syndrome.
Many mothers have been unknowingly feeding their children foods with plastic chemicals and other conventional synthetic food toxins. While BPA has become the thing to avoid, we are literally swimming in a sea of industrial pollution that can be prevented, poisonous consumer products that many incorrectly assume are safe that can be redesigned, and a GMO food system rife with industrially engineered dangers like chemical weapon derivatives (pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, preservatives) with toxic consequences, although food does not have to be grown this way.
If you want America to be great, then we need to work together to cultivate more "Great People", who exercise regularly and eat healthy: we need a country full of people living healthy lifestyles to have a strong vibrant economy and sustainable future.
It all comes down to each individual making informed healthy lifestyle choices in all areas of their lives. One drop of red paint can change the color of an ocean full of white paint. It only takes one evil person to ruin a corporation, a state or a government. Think of Hitler for example. To build a stronger future we need to inspire the entire population of America to start living healthy lives. This is not just about America. No matter which country you live in, the country is only as great is the people.
Thinking on a global scale, we need to get population and pollution under control. We need to replace toxic energy sources with clean, abundant and sustainable energy sources. We need to replace ignorant mono-crop agriculture with intelligent sustainable water conserving, soil nurturing organic seasonal and local agriculture. People need to move away from inhospitable unsustainable desolate environments like Palm Springs to clean, green, lush, lovely and sustainable environments like Oregon.
Today the world still has slavery in many forms because of overpopulation and sick governments that take advantage of impoverished uneducated people.
Today the world still has sweat shops, where children are chained to machines in order to serve the masters who own and control the factory.
Today the world still has smog forming pollution the obscures the air we breath with toxic foul smelling industrial fallout, the largely caused by overpopulation and the resource demands that a such a huge population places on the worlds environments and nature resources.
Today malnourishment exists side by side with gross obesity : both forms of extremism that cause sickness, suffering and death. Inequity grows and speaks, and is attenuated and amplified by marginalized swollen populations.
Billions of humans alive today live in sewage sludge dumps that breed viral disease like bird flue, rapidly evolving infectious diseases that harm all people. As these people embrace vain incompetent materialisms, the pollution toll and natural resource destruction increases in scale and magnitude.
We are ruining the worlds natural environments at an alarming rate that will completely poison the food chain, fresh water supplies and gases that we breath. Everyone has to share the world, we only have one earth. With billions more people, the slice of natural resource that each person can enjoy shrinks.
Today with carbon energy, Americans enjoy liberated energy equal to having 100 other people bicycling at full speed 24/7. 12kw of continuous energy use per person in the United States : we are an energy squandering and wasteful country, with tons of room for improvement in every sector.
We can solve every problem I have mentioned by simply cultivating better people. We each have the power to make the future better by choosing to live healthy lives of balanced intelligence and respect for God's unique creation: Life, in all of its forms.
We can't find or access another planet like earth in the near future, and may never be able to find anything as magnificent and beautiful as earth. Respecting earths natural resources is part of protecting future generations.
How do you want to be remembered 300 years from now ?
What part are you taking in solving these problems ?
