Who Likes Jellyfish? 

  I mean, really like them. Not tolerate or live and let live, but like them enough to go out of ones way to save a gelatinous Jelly? Nobody, thats who.

 Screw Jellyfish.

Putting Your Foot in the Online Sales Door, How To Start

This was my first ever Blog post written around 2012.

You will not get rich doing this...

But,    you can make more money implementing my plan, Selling Local, Getting Paid, than at your hourly paying job.

I  Guarantee it.  

By the end of this article, you will be ready to jump right into (2) TWO sales campaigns of your own. 

        There are millions of ideas to get rich quick, fast and  in a hurry. These sites are usually geared for info collection, ad clicking, gathering sales leads and/or tier selling of products without your blessing. They target you, your friends and anyone you may exchange contact information with. These are On_Grid_Transactions.        Sites that require you to go through them in order to market...well.. anything. You were given an opt-in form with lots of fine print but it seemed like a good deal, so you clicked it. It happens to the most careful of us. With very few exceptions, These people will take advantage of you! They have put the time into learning the in's and out's of WEB PRESCENCE and WEB SALES  and have a team of people at their disposal. Most of these people and their sites are predatory! 

    Be Very Careful From Whom You Take Advice!

RIP Prince

                         RIP Prince

    If you haven't already heard, I hate to be the one to tell you, Prince died Thursday the 21st. Still awaiting autopsy results on a cause. 

  If you've ever been a fan, now would be a great time to reacquaint yourself. He has been in my top 10 since I was 9 years old.

Tiny Turbines

           Applying Small Turbine Technology To                                                         Everyday Systems.                                                         By Dennis Pulley   www.The1HomeGuru.blogspot.com

Precision Built Micro-Turbines 

                                 

      A friend told me, today, about a shower head he saw with LED lights and explained that the owner told him a generator was contained within and powered the lights. I was hoping he was wrong, that it hadn’t really been invented yet but, after 20 minutes on Google, Kohler does actually sell showerheads that do generate direct electricity. Well, before he’d even finished the sentence, my jaw had already dropped and we spent the next hour applying this idea to a handful of other appliances. This is a million dollar idea. This will get someone incredibly rich and I sure hope my friend and I can do something with this before it’s taken up by another. These are my first thoughts, as it’s only been a few hours since our conversation happened.

     

    Our indoor plumbing can be used to produce electric power. Yes, small quantities but power nonetheless. The water supply into the house can be tapped with in-line turbines or impellers to either charge batteries or direct connected to lighting or other appliance. Perhaps this would best be achieved with low-voltage appliances containing a rechargeable battery. These impellers can be utilized in many ways but we must remember that you can’t get something from nothing. Every impeller would siphon off pressure and unfortunately, most municipalities use electricity to pressurize the water through pumps and even in the localities with water towers, the water must still be pumped to the top of the tower. This is something an individual may be able to get away with for a bit but eventually, electricity prices for the pumps would make its way to your bill. Best-case scenario would be a home fed by an uphill aquifer. This would be free.

Small Hi-Performance Turbines.

  

      There may be a way make this work for supply, you’d conceivably build a tank at the highest elevation that city water pressure could push and plumb your house from the top down, utilizing long stretches of drop with strategically placed turbines throughout. This would work but again, if everyone does it, we would be using a much more noticeable amount of power for the pumps and it would be carried into our water bill.

     Our drains, however, are another story. The turbines could either be placed directly at the drain beneath our sinks and tubs, but we would drain much slower, or we could have a sort of holding tank dug into the ground, ideally keeping the water level just a foot or so below our lowest fixture and draining it through a small, turbine-carrying orifice from the bottom into the sewer lateral.

  

     

     This is very real and can become part of a multi-faceted plan to contain our energy costs. This should also be implemented into our roof gutters, rain barrels even municipal storm water drains. In order to become more responsible for our own power needs, we need to employ a variety of methods: Sun, Wind and Water are all very scale able means of producing electricity and require little technical know how to build. The efficiency of these means will increase exponentially as more and more of us see the benefit in not only implementing one of these devices but actually building our own and open sourcing our ideas and designs.

Small dishwasher pumps are easily used as water turbines.

   

  

  Above is a washing machine or dishwasher pump, this is essentially an impeller built within a housing designed to allow water to flow in one end, spin the impeller and out through the other end. These are perfect all-purpose pumps, easily connected to a water source, with an AC motor that can easily be changed to a DC Stepper motor from an old printer and can easily charge small battery banks. Individual solar cells are becoming very cheap in China and with a little know how, can be wired together to create one’s own solar panels. Wind turbines can be made, with a bit of instruction, using non-working appliance parts such as washing machine motors, and YouTube is full of videos detailing how to build water turbines from the same appliance. The way is easy if you have the will and even easier if you’re poor. We can’t all afford to run our air conditioners but what if you spent just two weeks learning how and building your own means of generating just enough to power that A.C. through the summer? Would you do it?

   This article on DIY water turbines will give you the principles involved in nearly all turbines and, perhaps even the confidence to build one.

7 Nearly Hidden Facts About The Donald, His Hair and it's Place in Our Upcoming Election.

     7 Little Known Facts: DONALD TRUMP & His Hair

By Dennis Pulley

      Ok. There are a million of these lists out and I'm not going to pretend that I'm better than anyone else. I, too, am gonna jump on the Trump Train and squeeze out some mileage for my blog. I lack the resources for a decent legal team, so I should probably mention that I am making this stuff up. To a point. There may be some truth to the following statements but it's purely accidental. All in good fun because he'll probably get my vote, unless Alf jumps into the race.

      7. His hair briefly went on strike in 1988 when Donald decided to charge the hair rent. In less than an hour, a deal was negotiated and the hair was back on the job.

     6. Donald has repeatedly used his hair as a sail to get back down 'Shit' Creek. 

     5. He remains pretty upset about the discontinuation of 'Hair-in-a-can'. He doesn't like to talk about this.

    4. His pubes double as socks.

    3. Trump Towers' houses a 65 Guinea Pig penthouse suite on the 19th floor, he is absolutely prepared for a Micheal Jackson/Pepsi/Help, I'm on fire, wee hee! type accident.

   2. Donald Trump is actually a 4th degree Black Belt and kicks asses on the regular, mainly for making fun of his hair and mentioning his rare male cameltoe.

  1. His hair may represent him in case he doesn't make 1253 votes and is forced to take the GOP to court for the nomination. 

 

     

   
 If you think the front of  that thing looks bad, can you imagine how it smells?  gross

His hair may look like shit but he is still way cooler than the rest of us.
 just saying.

"Fuck you bitches"

Mr. Trumps hair from 1998 currently lives in South America and has declined my invitation for an interview.

The Implosion of America

The Implosion of America by Dennis Pulley

    



       The rise and fall of great civilizations are
recorded by hashmarks on the timeline of world history, what goes up, must come
down and I never expected America to be any different but I'm pretty
disappointed in our willingness to hasten the death and the efficiency in
which we do so. We're going out like the proverbial frog relaxing in a pot of
slowly boiling water. Stupidly and with eyes wide open.  Most of us are quite aware of the cause of
our impending doom, but we choose to keep quiet, steady the boat and remain
politically correct in public, but in the privacy of our own  kitchen tables we raise the hammer of
righteousness in one hand and extend the finger of blame with the other. If
you're not outraged, then you're probably the guy we bitch about. America will
fall from within by those that ride the backs of others and the boom of our
silence as we spectate. There is a growing culture of those that take advantage
of the system and a great divide has opened up among our own people. Americans
no longer ask what they can do for their country; our flag is constantly flown
overnight and in the rain and the Star Spangled Banner fails to bring the lump
to the throats of it's people. Very few of us sacrifice at all for the good of
country because we are too busy trying to get over when we can before someone
else takes it. Welfare fraud is at an all time high among those that are poor
but not quite poor enough, and keeping pace, fraud in the banks and on Wall
Street by those that are already rich but not rich enough. Are we all happy? Is
this really what we have allowed our country to be reduced to? Do you remember
how much was sacrificed by our forefathers? What would they say? What would
your grandfathers say if they saw this?

      Undeserved disability claims, food stamps
that you could live without, Section 8 housing subsidies, mortgage fraud,
insider trading, 100 million dollar salaries for corporate officers that pay
their employees minimum wage. You know who you are and you're killing our
country. The middle class loves America and we're fast figuring out that the
Upper and Lower classes depend on us, but we don't need you for anything!
Real life depends upon productivity and it's time for a corporate split.
You do you and we'll do us!

      Bring on the shantytowns! Americans', up
until now, have lacked the stomach for visible poverty and for too long, we
have spent money we couldn't afford to combat this epidemic. In 1933 President
Roosevelt put forth the New Deal as a way for Americas' poor to pull themselves
above the poverty line. Unfortunately, as time went on, these social programs
became a way of life for some and for political reasons alone, they've never
been reformed. Now, we have an entire population of those that take advantage
of the welfare system and teach their sons and daughters the same way of life
and the rest of the country is sick of it. A reasonable limit on these benefits
is soon coming and those that don't conform will no longer be the burden of
John Q. Taxpayer. The government will have to part with vast tracts of land for
the homeless to settle on and the productive citizens must get used to it.
People will die, but America will grow stronger just by drawing that
line. There is no way around this. Our survival depends upon it. 2 + 2 + 4 and
this outcome is just as definite.

   

     Reform won't be easy but it will remove
the main dividing factor in our society. You go without if you don't pitch in.
That is a universal truth. Now, I'm not against helping those whom the programs
were designed for. The truly needy. For 1 year only. If you can't find a
job in a year, the government will offer you one. Federal and State Governments
employ huge numbers of people to do everything from picking up trash to
engineering bridges. As a taxpayer, I pay for DMV agents, Police officers,
Sanitation workers and I see no reason to give away money. Welfare recipients
are already being paid, why not offer a career? This is the spirit of
State Aid! A paycheck to those that need it most.If you are healthy enough to
sit on your couch and watch T.V., I promise I can fit you for a job that
benefits your country. Of course, there will be those that we have to write
off. Those that just refuse to pull their own weight. That's what the
shantytowns are for. America must to look someone right in the eyes and
say "Tough titties! We've given you many chances and you haven't done your
part. Good bye." The same holds true with the health insurance reform. Why
should I pay double for my health insurance and some pay absolutely
nothing.    

Ashes, Ashes, We all fall down.

These abusers use the E.R. as a Primary Care Physician and never pay the bill. Health insurance rates have got to cover these things, health care
is, after all, a business. Americans must be willing to allow people to
die due to their decision not to purchase a health insurance plan. These
people will take advantage  of the rest
of us for as long as we allow them to do so. It's time to nut up, America!

      

Being Cool

           Presenting:

                               What Not To Do...

            Life is tough all over. We don't cry about it or bring a gun to the movies. Life follows a near static set of rules just like anything else and if you're not where you want to be, you probably don't give these rules the proper amount of respect. Well congratulations because the first step in the process is admitting the problem. If you're reading this, than you are admitting that what you are doing is not working. Not cool enough? Not as strong as others? Problems getting the girl? Maybe you lack in multiple categories. I can help. 

    

             We're not all born cool. We're not all born adept at making friends. As a matter of fact, very few of us naturally draw affection from others. It takes planned effort and an understanding of how things actually work to reap the rewards of a charmed existence. Success in life is not a given. If you can agree that life and ones social standing is subject to certain "rules" or "laws" than you can only deduce that if you're not where you want to be, it's because you're not following the rules. I have seen the ugliest man in the building pull more a** than Ron Jeremy. I have witnessed the most unlikely of hero's save the day and have watched the meek have inherit the head cheerleader. It's absolutely possible that this can happen naturally but a little understanding of the psychology behind it will make it probable. 
    Good looks can only get your foot in the door, the rest is personality and this can be shaped and molded. You have to understand that a personality is the accumulation of social skills that you picked up from others during your formative years. We rarely give our personality a second thought but we should. Insight of self is very important. You need to know how people react to you and what behavior you were exhibiting that gained each particular reaction and tweak accordingly. Most of us are already Cool inside our own heads but a lot gets lost in the translation because, other people as a whole, or a group of people within a particular social class, or even your 10th grade homeroom, will see you a lot differently than you see yourself and judge you accordingly. That's a fact.  These judgements happen quickly and without mercy. Nearly everyone you meet will quantify you according to the unwritten guidelines of being slick, smooth or pimp. Most of us choose to believe that others just don't see how down we really are. We choose to believe that we are simply misunderstood. This is acceptance. You've allowed others to place you on a tier of their choosing and have accepted the results. This classification has a way of following you throughout your entire life. Your social standing in middle school will carry into High School and will probably permeate into everything you will ever do. The closer you become to the bottom (the kid that had lice and wears the plastic NIKE's with a checkmark underneath. Not a swoosh. A frickin' checkmark)the more life stacks against you. The middle is OK but at the top is Cool. That's where you want to be. You want to be Cool. Being Cool will benefit you in nearly everything you do. I'm not saying that being Cool will ensure success, but life so often puts you within inches of the goal line and self assuredness is paramount to distinguishing yourself from the group. You will tolerate greater risk in your choices and reap greater reward. The sure-footed man will prove the path and encourage followers. The more followers you have behind you means less traffic in front of you.
           The rules are hard for most people to pin down so you rarely see them in writing and most of what you do see is bull sh*t. This is not bullsh*t.  I was blessed to be born good looking and smart(it doesn't hurt to be well-kempt either). I wasn't born very cool but I was smart enough to quickly figure it out once puberty hit. A pussy hair can pull a train and I did whatever I had to do get laid.
      A few changes in the way you carry yourself doesn't mean that you're 
pretending to be something that you're not. It simply shows that you recognize fault or shortcomings in yourself and have the confidence and discipline to change them. Emulating what you want to be is the only way to ensure a real change in character. Fake it 'till you make it. The behaviors below are fundamental and influence your actions and responses at a root level. Integrate a few of these into daily life and be thorough. Half-assing or discounting the importance of truly committing yourself to the action will only succeed in making you look schizo and blaming poor results on me.
       Be patient. You only get one chance at a first impression. It's true. You will only be truly and consciously measured by another person once.  So, if you're moving to a new workplace or school- great. Best-case scenario is a fresh start, otherwise it will take awhile to really change the form of you. The subconscious mind is a slow worker and you need it to form new memories, which it hardly ever does, and selectively replace tiny snippets of archived memory that has already been chemically mapped. Your new behavior has to be passively noticed which won't be easy, it's hard to overwrite a loud memory with a quiet one and most of this list contains behavior of low key and low key doesn't grab attention very easily. You will have to actively train your brain to make these changes-to remind yourself but within 3 weeks or so, it'll be pretty natural and automatic. Don't expect feedback or visible results. Like I said-   be patient. Life is a marathon and you have plenty of time. 

            Below is a checklist (kinda). Read it and check off any that apply to you. Don't lie to yourself. It's stupid.    And if you have to read any of these more than once, you're looking for an excuse and I suggest you just check it off. The list is self-explanatory. 

What NOT to do...

1.   Speak without a point. The more you talk, the less people will listen. Consider talking as an expense and make it count. Mean everything you say. This gives you gravity. When you do talk, speak softly. Make them work to hear you. This gives you respect as the effort involved in listening to you will be obvious to all.
2. Produce un-needed negativity. It's petty and looks ugly on you. Don't put other people (or things) down or talk about them. It'll be subconsciously recognized as an agenda or an attempt to influence others to feel as you do. 
3. Settle for anything less than the your first choice. Leaving with less than you came for signals weakness and undermines gravity. Compromise only if it suits you and never too quickly. Leaving empty handed is better than leaving with what no one else wanted. Desperation is for the chumps. Keep preferences and expectations to yourself. If you leave with the big squishy, act as if you adore the big squishy above all others. 
4. Aim low and attempt to work up. The world is your oyster and 2's will come after 10's if needed but a 10 will never, ever, ever follow a 2. Aim high and be patient.
5. Lose your cool. Because you will lose your cool. Control of yourself is among the bare minimum of expectations. 
6. Keep poor company. Association is paramount to everything. Loneliness will serve you more than any amount of lopsided friendships.
7. Explain your actions. Sometimes it's harmless but usually, an explanation is just a plea for validation. 
8. Seek validation. Validation is for the weak and/or unsure. Removes from your gravity.
9. Apologize without true need. Brad Pitt doesn't apologize because he ate the last bowl of cereal. Fuck you. Eat oatmeal.
10. Get caught in a lie. Be careful with your lies. A lie implies shame of action. People rarely forgive and never forget it.  
11. Be caught unprepared. It'll still happen but you can minimize it with little effort. Have an answer for everything without blowing smoke. an "I don't know" is bad but stupid bullsh*t is worse.
12. Kiss and tell. Unless you're 13ish.     Some people find this difficult. The reward of discovery by a source other than you will be greater than anything you gain by telling anyone yourself. It's nearly impossible to say it without it coming off as bragging. (includes "smell my finger")
13. Take or do more than you can handle. Being called a pussy is much better than looking like a moron. Bet.
14. Allow yourself to be embarrassed. I'm not talking about your cheeks flushing because of a girl. I mean, don't put yourself in a position to do something that you do badly or allow anyone else to put you in that position. Admitting defeat may sometimes be the best option. Humiliation is embarrassment that is deliberately caused by another in an effort to undermine you. This can rarely go unanswered, but above all else, mantain your dignity.
15. Fail to recognize situations that call for humility. Everyone is drawn to confidence but confidence is a close cousin to cockiness. Cockiness can be positive but you had better  f*ckin' deliver. If you question the outcome, trade cockiness for humility as quickly as possible. Humility, when done right, should look like generosity. No one likes a sore loser. Winning and losing should look the same. Mostly.
16. Allow yourself to be trapped. Most of these situations can be avoided by thinking a few moves ahead. Play out the whole story and anticipate every response for every action. Always leave a way out for everyone involved unless you have a sure win.  If the situation has you at odds with another, plan your rival a way out that will leave his testicles intact.  Make sure that this opening comes at least 2 moves before you are forced to commit. Always know how much juice it will take to justify the squeeze.

  Your reputation is a measure of your gravity. Points are easy to lose but can only be lost by action. The less you do means the less you can do wrong. Gaining a point back is difficult so it's wise not to risk the points you already have. Don't sell them cheaply and don't volunteer yourself for dumb sh*t. If nothing good can come of it, why do it? Risk vs. Reward.
