Claire this post is for you. I worked with Corbin Harney, for 18 years. I also worked with Mateo & Juile Moon Sparrow, before they broke up. Best friend with Steve'No Nukes' Willard, before he died ( Brain Tumor).
I ran The Shundahai Network Web Domain until it got highjacked
:-(. Friend of Sarah'Seeds' Willner, before she moved back to Baltimore, to be cared for her Sister.
I am/was Reinard Knutsen Friend he also
Lives in Salt Lake City, same as me.
I am/was member of Seeds of Peace, before I got Hep C &,was in treatment for a year, spent a year in bed, due
To Horrific Side Effects,
was given 12% chance of Slaining the Dragon.
But I slay the Dragon 4 years ago on my 63 birthday ( August 27 th, 1947). Then I spent a month in a Rehab hospital, learning how to Walk, that we 4 years ago.
I turned 67 two days ago.
Susi Sunder, before she moved to Europe & recently,
Married Fabio.
Read the blog which I have no be update to to Sickness. I am a True Anti-Nucler Activist,
Lived at Peace Camp, until my Partner, got pregnant on The Nevada Test Site. My third son was conceived, at the place that we did the Occupation of the Test Site, Corbin's first illegal venture on to NTS, in 40 years. I carried the Teepee with
Teryani, that time.
MY PHONE JUST SCREWED UP & lost 800 contact numbers, including your number, which I got from Mateo.
Before he married Michella & had 4 kids.
They live in Espanola NM. Last they moved into to & they folk's they rented to burnt down the house.
Mary Alex ( Alex Purbeck) wrote Corbin's Second book,
Prior to moving back to Scotland, got married & has 2 or 3 children.
Alex Seeds went into Rehab & now is working as a Chef in Santa Fe, he broke his neck 10 days ago. But is not Paralyzed, unlike Jim.
Ask me anything you want I am Real, just stayed in the Background. Was Shundahai Staff for many, many years.

Tar Sands Blockade: Along with Landowner, Actress Daryl Hannah Arrested
Great grandmother, Eleanor Fairchild, and film actress both arrested after blocking machinery

Arrested
on her own property for trespassing, east Texas great-grandmother says:

actress Daryl Hanna was arrested in Texas on Thursday along with
78-year-old and great-grandmother Eleanor Fairchild after they put their
bodies in front of heavy logging machinery and refused to move.
Eleanor Fairchild and Daryl Hannah were dragged from their positions in
front of an excavator to keep it from tearing up Eleanor’s land.

own property, where Canadian pipeline company TransCanada is
clearcutting forests to make a path for the southern portion of the
controversial Keystone XL pipeline, designed to bring tar sands oil from
Alberta to Texas refineries.Daryl’s involvement in the Fairchild Farms story brought a cascade of media attention to the Tar Sands Blockade which has been ongoing for nearly two weeks in east Texas.
"How can you be arrested for “trespassing” on your own land?" asked members from Tar Sands Blockade in a statement. "Well, anything can happen when a multi-national corporation comes in and expropriates your farm for their profit."
On Thursday afternoon, Hannah marched across Fairchild’s property with the ranch owner to block construction crews who have cleared large swaths of land along the controversial tar sands pipeline’s route. Keystone XL will permanently bisect Fairchild’s 300 acre ranch, which includes undeveloped wetland areas and natural springs producing more than 400 gallons of fresh water per minute from her property. Hannah, whose outspoken anti-Keystone position dates back many years, expressed pride to be able to stand with Fairchild who is watching her home and its delicate ecosystems destroyed in front of her eyes.
“I am standing in solidarity with the farmers, ranchers and landowners who have been bullied, coerced and threatened by TransCanada. Texans do not want this toxic export pipeline coming through and compromising their land and water,” said Fairchild. “Texas has already experienced a tragic and epic drought. We cannot afford to compromise our water supply for a multinational corporation’s profits.”
“I couldn’t be prouder to take a stand with my new inspiration, Eleanor,” Hannah said. “We’re rising up to defend homes here and now, because if a multinational corporation like TransCanada can come in and steal private property from Texans, then they’ll do it to anyone.”
“Tar sands is the dirtiest fuel on the planet, and I want the world to know that Texans do not want this pipeline forced through their homes,” Fairchild said, pushing back against the argument that her stance was solely about protecting her own property and water supply. “From the White House to my house, I don’t want this pipe threatening anyone’s house anywhere in the world!”

10 nuclear events in 10 days By Adonai – August 18, 2012
Posted in: Editors' picks, Nuclear events
We had 10 different nuclear events reported in just 10 days. Below is a list of them with date and short description.
Doel 3 nuclear reactor at Doel Nuclear Power Station in Belgium was shut down on August 8, 2012 under the suspicion that one of its components might be cracked. “We have found anomalies,” said Karina De Beule, spokesman for the ACFN, the federal agency for nuclear control.
Doel 3 reactor will be shutdown until at least the end of August, but it is possible that the reactor could be shut down for good.
The station is located in the most densely populated area of all nuclear power stations in Europe, with 9 million inhabitants within a radius of 75 kilometres (47 miles). Construction of this plant started in 1969 and commission started in 1975. More info here.
Operators of the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant in Southern Maryland have shut down one of the two reactors there because a control rod unexpectedly dropped into the reactor core, causing a reduction in power generation, a plant spokesman said Monday.
The 793-MW unit was shut after a leak was identified Aug. 12. Since July, the NRC has been monitoring a gradual increase of unidentified leakage at the reactor and sought safety assurances from Entergy on those leaks.
(3) August 12, 2012 - Connecticut, Millstone Power Station – Shutdown
Connecticut’s nuclear power plant shut one of two units on Sunday because seawater used to cool down the plant is too warm. More info here.
(4) August 12, 2012 - Michigan, Palisades – Shutdown
Palisades is shut down because of a leak of coolant from the control rods. It’s supposedly fixed now but the NRC is bringing in three more inspectors.
(5) August 14, 2012 - Minnesota, Prairie Island – Shutdown
One of the two nuclear generators at the Prairie Island plant was shut down because its emergency diesel generators suffered exhaust leaks.
(6) August 14, 2012 - Minnesota, Monticello – Shutdown
The Monticello nuclear plant’s single generating unit, which had been operating at 10 percent capacity since last weekend, was shut down because of a leaking pipe inside the plant’s concrete containment structure, the company said.
(7) August 16, 2012 – Michigan, Fermi – Loss of data
At approximately 14:58 EDT, a portion of the Fermi 2 Integrated Plant Computer System (IPCS) failed. This resulted in a loss of approximately 60 percent of data on the Safety Parameters Display System (SPDS). More info here.
Belgium has halted the 1,008-megawatt Tihange 2 reactor, as it has the same pressure vessel as Doel 3 at Doel Nuclear Power Station.
“I would like to remind that Doel 3 and Tihange 2 have been halted and do not represent any danger for the population, the workers and the environment,” Willy De Roovere, head of the FANC regulator agency.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. discovered possibly highly radioactive water on the first floor of the No. 4 reactor turbine building at its disaster-crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant on Tuesday morning. The company believes the water leaked from a pipe that is transferring highly radioactive water from the basement of the No. 3 reactor’s turbine building. More info here.
Fire crews were called to Torness nuclear power station in East Lothian early yesterday after a blaze broke out. The plant’s on-site fire team dealt with the incident, which involved lagging on a pipe catching alight at 12:25am. Managers insisted there was no risk to the public during the incident at the plant, operated by French firm EDF Energy.

- Ya when stuff gets older and weaker, still has pressure on it, and the ground quakes……….10 in 10 days huh? Could this just be the beginning of a line of events that is going to gradually increase ugly wise? Is Canada next? What is going to happen this Sept 2012 when Japan gets whacked again with 8.9 and 9.8M+ Quakes: and/or higher, same day events; and their containment fields are not exactly ready now? I’m just so happy they built them right where they did
Every one is focused on melting water to raise the Oceans and flood coastal regions. But when large mountains burst out of our Oceans the water will rise.
- there were quite a few more events in the US – OWS was involved along with Occupy New Mexico, OWS Environmental Solidarity, etc., but i guess this article was to cover only the 8th to the 18th (?) – these were all around “Hiroshima Day”
here are a few links:
