 This is James P. Madonna of Megalife21. It happens to be Thursday, February 13th, 2014. I couldn't sleep. I woke up early. But the coffee dripping is not what this video is about. Because since we are having this mini ice age this year due to climate change, I will show you why I'm taking the video. The purpose of this video is another blizzard. This one is supposed to be most likely to worse yet. They predict 10 to 14 inches here in northeastern New Jersey and coming down quite heavy. I don't know how much you can see due to the snow blindness, the glare from the snow, but all I see is white. There is the walkway, the porch on the side of the house. It's pretty heavy duty. Coming down thick with a little windchill, which means even more shoveling for me. In the past two weeks, this would be my third shoveling project because of this very severe winter. Very unusually strange severe winter. Thank you very much Greedy Corporations for creating this climate change. Which is causing this. Giving me all this extra work to shovel. It's all pine tree across the street. If it wasn't for the evergreens you wouldn't be able to see just how much snow is coming down. Because then the whole area would be totally glared out from the white of the snow. So that's it. This is the beginning of the blizzard. February 2014. It's not over. I mean it's still early. Definitely coming down heavy. Ah boy. Gee my lower back is going to feel wonderful after this winter season. I might just need a chiropractor. This old man winter is definitely a powerful one. That's all I have to say. I haven't seen a winter like this. Oh gosh. I don't think I've ever seen a winter quite like this to be honest with you. And as a kid I do remember some very heavy snowfalls. So I'll catch you later with the update. Northeastern New Jersey. Yet another blizzard. Okay this is James P. Madonna of Megalife21. And before you saw the yet another great blizzard outside. This happens to be Thursday February 13th 2014. So on a lighter note I just want to show you a difference between a standard compact fluorescent energy saving light bulb. Fluorescent light bulb that you screw in. It's spiral. The difference between a standard one and a daylight fluorescent compact fluorescent bulb that gives off full spectrum light. Now in this case I got it from my plants which I will show you shortly. This bulb is made by a company called Greenlight. And I actually I found these bulbs in a dollar store in my town. It's up and down the entire east coast. It's called the Dollar Tree. It's a chain of dollar stores. Okay so it's a pretty great value. You get like I'd say about 60 watts of light with a very very low wattage. So the energy savings is tremendous. This one particularly is extra energy saving compared to the typical compact fluorescent bulb. Now I'm going to show you my new compact fluorescent daylight bulb. Full spectrum light. I got it at Walgreens. It only cost me three dollars and fifty cents. But it's well worth it because it is going to help beat the winter blues and that's why I'm doing this video. Okay so that's the standard one. I just want to show you the difference. And you see the difference. And this is the daylight bulb that I picked up at Walgreens. Big difference huh. Has like a bluish tint to it. Daylight bulb. Standard compact fluorescent bulb by Greenlight. Back to the new light bulb. Has like a pretty bluish tint to it. And while I'm here I'll just show you my collection of air plants which is known as talancias. They're tropical plants usually from the rainforest of tropical regions. In this case Mexico, Central America, South America. This about in this vase there is two, three, four, I think there's five in here. Yes there are five air plants. They're all together. I have water in the bottom for humidity because they do need humidity. Especially in the average American home it's very dry. Between central heating and air conditioning in the summer it gets very dry so you have to have humidity. It's very important for them. And as far as water goes I soak mine in the aquarium. A heated aquarium which has dechlorinated water. I submerge them and soak them for 30 minutes once a week. Which I usually do on Fridays. And then when you take them out you have to let them drain upside down. It's very important because you can't allow any of the water to remain too long inside the leaves of the plant. It'll actually rot the plant out. It'll get rotten and turn black and fall apart and die. Similar to roots that are soaking in water too long in a standard house plant. As you can see the Ionanthafuego is starting to sprout a flower. There's a spike coming out of the center. So this air plant will get a blossom. As you can see the spike. They all pretty much have this eventually. I'll show you the other plant. This is just my ponytail palm sort of bonsai that I started. They're originally from the deserts of Mexico. Palm trees make outstanding bonsai simply because they automatically by themselves acclimate to the smaller pot. You do not have to wrap the tree in copper wire. You enforce the tree to become miniatures similar to what they do to pine trees in Japan. This is my favorite air plant. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it right. Xenografica originally from Guatemala. They're actually very endangered in the wild. They are endangered most likely because of over harvesting. I'm not sure. I think this was capped of bread. It is known as the king of all air plants. As you can see it's quite beautiful. Fuzzy silvery leaves and it's quite large. It looks great with this new compact fluorescent daylight bulb which should speed up the growth and appearance of the plants. I also have water in the vaws of stones that I got at the dollar store. In the summer I will put them on the west window which is very sunny. They will go right on the windowsill with the vaws of water. Otherwise the sun will burn them right out. I'm not sure if you can see that. You can see the difference between the daylight bulb and the standard compact fluorescent light bulb. Thank you for joining me. Okay it happens to be Thursday February 13th 2014. This is James P. Madonna of Megalife 21. Hard of sitting internet radio station on the planet and I'm coming to you from northeastern New Jersey. After the yet another big blizzard. This is part two from the previous video. This is the aftermath of it and I will walk around and show you. Okay it stopped snowing thank god but it left quite a bit of snow. That is dumped. I will show you just how much snow it is since I shoveled. Alright yes the sun just went down and I will show you the conditions here. As well as what the town department of public works of course every year does not do. What they failed to do. Okay there we are. There is the inches right here. Just make sure you can see it. There is a big mountain of snow on the front on the side of the house. Alright as you can see the weight of the snow weighing everything down. And we will focus on just how much we have here. Here is the walkway from ground level. Just gives you an idea. I feel some rain coming down. Now the good thing is the good thing is that the temperature will be slightly above freezing which I hope melts some of this. But I am not sure if that is going to happen since we have so much of it. They did predict 10 to 14 inches but I have not listened to the weather as far as exactly how many inches we got. Just gives you an idea of how much we have. I guess some of it is on the camera. There is a shot from the sidewalk. As you can see there is quite a bit. You can see better here actually. There is the front of the house. It is night time so the lighting may or may not be ideal. There is a car that is buried in front of it. The intersection. Now what this town in southern Bergen County did not do as normally is as you can see. There is a ton of snow on the side of the street here and they do not plow to sides. They only cruise up and down the middle. Snow is normally parking spaces. They don't plow to sides. They just don't do it. There are other cars if you can see it in a distance. Buried also. They are not plowing to sides because they are cronies. They got job security and they suck. Basically New Jersey. That is it. They don't plow the sides. That gives you an idea how much snow we have. We will see. We will see during the next blizzard. I hope not. Since March is not far away. I hope this is the last blizzard of 2014. Gotta love global warming. Thank you. Greedy corporations. Oil companies. People that are destroying the rainforest of the world. That have caused this climate change. We will get yours in the end. Mother nature. Gaia will get her revenge.
