Subject: Getting down to business

 

Devin - I just posted a message on the eraider.com website which you can access by clicking on below.

 

http://eraider.com/message.cfm?topicID=15&catID=73&messagenumber=496

 

Suffice to say, I wrote it rather quickly without once reading it over let alone going through a spell check. Who knows whether the eraider boys will keep it up for long but I suspect they like the increased attention their website is getting in no small measure than thanks to yours truly.

 

With that said, I am available at a moment’s call to get down to business with your father. I am taking the liberty of copying once again a sampling of the world’s population are geared toward keeping NextraTerrestrial.com on track to be the number one website on the planet. No need to remind you who is included on that list.

 

All the best,

 

Gary

Subject: RE: Terrorism and water / PointSource Technologies... Perfect Storm III

 

Bruce, I think this Gregory Quist may be the general manager of Rincon which I assume is a member agency of the water authority. He was, I believe, at one point the general manager but may have since moved on to pursue higher goals. On the surface it does look a little suspicious but this can all be flushed out with just a “little byte” of due diligence including finding out what is meant by “his company” as the Metropolitan Water District [MWD] does give funding to member agencies to do as they see fit. I simply don’t have time to read the other stuff which may very well explain what is meant by “Bad Company” [sic].

 

Moreover, what research are they talking about for it could be low flow toilets for all I know which reminds me that I probably need to be clearer on the www.sellnext.com website that my “travel companion” has yet to change over the toilets to accommodate a would-be buyer who might produce more than their fair share of crap.

 

With that shot across the bow, strikes to begin plaguing the entire universe, toilets to be kept clean at all times and to avoid “ring around the color” as well as shaky bar stools, don’t forget, however, Rincon has historically been one of the dissidents. My bottom line suggestion is to confirm the nature of the research being funded. “Weather” [sic] or not there is a conflict of interest will become self-evident[1].

 

With all that has been said, whether or not a conflict exists in this particular instance is pale in comparison to the information I shared with you regarding the rigging of the last gubernatorial elections here in California. Until such time as someone addresses that matter head on, laser like, it is unlikely the road kills will cease and we will continue to go around ad-infinitum.

 

It is important to appreciate that in order to control an out of control fire often folks engage in a host of activities including lighting backfires which often backfire, fiddlers to avoid at any cost. Not to lecture but it is always helpful to get to know the source, mitigating the risk of getting caught up in someone elses web, i.e. who knew what and when did they know it? Ipsofacto why I spent the time with you allowing you to get to know me in my ever so peaceful habitat. Stonehenge II seems to bring out the very best in those that visit but one does first have to know how to let go, of things in particular.

 

I am in the process right now of liquidating all things other than my art and a couple of selected properties in anticipation of the Perfect Storm that brews with each tick of the clock. I just received instructions not to forget to bring tea to the cabin. Right now I am awaiting a call back from two real estate agents who think my last remaining real property in this country is a bargain to be had which of course it is based on where things stand at this late hour. Tomorrow, assuming the deal goes through today, I may end up, however, looking like a genius. The cell-phone doesn’t work up in the mountains but since it is going on 7pm PST I am heading back out to Stonehenge for dinner with my “travel companion” who seems to be the only person able to keep me in check these days and of course she pays the bills unlike me who forgot to pay the cabin’s telephone bill although the kids probably think I did it on purpose. It is possible that their father might construe that but he should rather pay attention to how lucky he is than waste any more time listening to folks who tell him what he wants to hear.

 

Gary

 

PS - I am having trouble with my email system right now so until I say otherwise can you please send your emails to both gsg@sellnext.com as well Gevisser@pacbell.net. One other thing which I thought I made you aware of when I told you that I consider anything either of us had to say to one another not falling under the category of “confidential” or “privileged” to mention little of my website database continuing to be violated by folks who have no business looking at my “pdf” files which is another way of saying, Please Don’t F with me and of course none of us honest with ourselves have anything to fear but fear itself and never to fret like my “failed student” buddy Trevor G who along with the rest of the not so “Lilly white” don’t respond to my E-mails hoping that I will simply “crash and burn” without bearing in mind that I am only just getting started, making certain that my friends are well provided for as the world is about to go topsy turvy.

 

Everything remains on track including not being the slightest bit concerned with even washed out folks like Mr. King Golden Jnr, a very well-schooled “University of Virgin Law School” [sic] protégé has to say when he visits my travel companion’s ex-husband when crisscrossing the United States hoping that somehow I will lose track of him. Pictures tell a thousand words, “Those who lie, steal and cheat end up on the wrong side of the tracks especially those who let their formal education interfere with their learning.”

 

Tomorrow, hopefully, is another day. Stay tuned.

Subject: FW: Terrorism and water / PointSource Technologies

 

Gary, this is a press release that's being pitched to me this week. 

 

I notice that this Gregory Quist is on the board of directors for Rincon Water District and the San Diego County Water District. Some of his company's research was apparently funded by the Metropolitan Water District. Does that strike you as a conflict of interest?

How safe is our water from terrorists?

It's safe, but in these extraordinary times, it could be safer and there are vulnerabilities, according to Dr. Gregory Quist, President and Chief Operating Officer of PointSource Technologies in
Escondido, CA.

"Generally, our water is safe, however, if a terrorist wanted to strike the distribution system, they probably could.  Hospitals, schools, apartment building and large housing tracts are just some of the vulnerable and possible targets for a terrorist," says Dr. Quist, who has also help develop stealth technology and particle detection.

Whether it's waterborne pathogen, chemical, radiological or biological agent, most facilities have little protection against poisoning our water supply.

Long before the 9/11 terrorist attacks on
America, Dr. Quist founded PointSource and developed the Vigilent Microbiometer.  This system detects in real-time if water has been tampered or tainted. 

The Vigilent Microbiometer was used in
San Diego for the recent Super Bowl to assure water quality for the 70,000 fans in Qualcomm Stadium. It is also currently being tested by a major water utility in the Southern California region, near Los Angeles. PointSource also has a research grant from the American Water Works Association Research Foundation.

"The Vigilent Microbiometer is like a high-tech smoke detector," says Quist.  It can tell you if water has been tampered, and it tells you almost instantly.

Currently, conventional water quality measurement products are people-driven.  Someone tests the water samples, takes it to a laboratory and has results in hours or days; depending on what contaminants, they are testing for.

The Vigilent Microbiometer is a remote, autonomous system that can be used continuously on-site anywhere.  The cost-effective self-contained and turnkey system can be monitored locally or placed on a network providing first alert local, regional, state or national notification.

Dr. Quist is available to discuss our water supply and terrorism either on background, or for a story.

About Dr. Quist:

Dr. Gregory Quist is President and Chief Operating Officer of PointSource Technologies in
Escondido, CA.

He's also a Director of two water districts in
Southern California, including the San Diego County Water Authority, which provides water to 2.3 million residents in the San Diego region.

Dr. Quist (PhD in Physics from
University of California, Yale graduate) is also a member of the Association of California Water Agencies Water Quality Committee.

PointSource Technologies Background

The Public Health Need for an Effective Monitoring System

· Current methods of detecting dangerous pathogens in drinking water are costly, labor intensive and incapable of providing adequate warning to public health officials.

· In fact, water-borne pathogens are often detected only after many people appear in local hospital emergency rooms when symptoms occur. Only following an investigation does the source and timing of the problem become clear.

· Monitoring is the least invasive and most efficient method to safeguard public health against water-borne pathogens. To achieve maximum public health benefit, monitoring must be done on a timely enough basis to allow authorities to warn the public, divert the water, or otherwise treat the water to a higher level than is normally done.

· Current monitoring methods, however, are generally incapable of spotting problems at their source, in the treatment plant, or in the distribution system because samples are taken occasionally, not continuously, and testing results are not available for many hours, sometimes days.

· The EPA is currently developing rules that will affect how water systems test for contaminants in water. It is essential that these new rules encourage continuous monitoring and real time results for testing of the water supply.
PointSource Technologies, LLC

· PointSource has developed a cost-efficient testing apparatus that will allow for continuous, real time monitoring of the water supply for the presence of dangerous pathogens.

· PointSource's technology has a number of advantages over conventional methods of protecting the water supply.

· The technology is real-time, continuous, and "in-situ" allowing authorities to respond quickly and effectively to a contamination of the drinking water supply.

· The technology, with the above attributes, focuses on preventing a crisis from occurring. Most competitive methods require personnel to periodically collect and then test samples of water, which increases the risk that authorities will not detect contaminants in time for a public health crisis to be avoided.

· The technology is accurate and flexible in detecting new contaminants and threats, and is easily deployable (the testing apparatus is the size of a soccer ball).

· The technology can be autonomous and remote, requiring no human intervention except for routine maintenance, and can be integrated into existing network alert systems. Information from the system can, therefore, be relayed to regional or federal sites on a continual basis for enforcement or monitoring purposes.

· If used in conjunction with treatment optimization, the technology allows authorities to more effectively achieve the important objectives, established under the Safe Drinking Act Reauthorization of 1996, of decreasing microbial contamination while at the same time decreasing the release of "disinfection by-products" (DBP).

· Under current methods, decreasing microbial contamination in water often requires more disinfection which, in turn, can lead to more DBPs in the water. PointSource's technology can help avoid this result by disinfecting at maximum levels only when microbial loading is above certain thresholds.

· The technology is cost-effective and, if used in conjunction with treatment optimization, can pay for itself within 18-24 months.

PointSource has already attracted significant support for its detection system. The Company received a research grant in 2000 in partnership with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the largest water district in the world, from the American Water Works Association Research Foundation for real-time continuous detection of Cryptosporidium, a well-known dangerous biological contaminant that poses a serious threats to human health. In addition, PointSource has developed a BioPrintTM library of various waterborne contaminants and other organisms such as Giardia, E. coli, and various types of algae. 

· The PointSource system is in the prototype stage and has been tested continuously at a large water utility in southern California since in May 2002. It is important to note that the same technology used by PointSource has been used successfully by the U.S. military and private companies in other related applications since the 1980's.
Protecting Against Bio-Chemical and Terrorist Attacks

· PointSource's technology could also be adopted to detect biological agents in air, chemical agents in air, and chemical agents in water.

· The same PointSource system attributes discussed above in reference to detecting biological agents in water - real-time, continuous, "in-situ", cost-effective, easily deployable, remote and autonomous - apply equally to the other applications such as food protection and HVAC systems.

[1] That bar-scene rendering is one of my prized possessions even though I have no idea who the artist is. It was drawn by a guy who happened to be at a bar in New York City where my friend db was having a stop-off celebrating his last few hours as a bachelor back in 1995. Vicky Schiff of Weatherly Capital would have done her “knuts” [sic] for db who has a thing for a good number, just like me, although he probably dances better than I do. Derrick Beare and I have partied around the world together and although we don’t see one another as often as we used to I know he hasn’t lost his touch, no doubt less hair having many benefits including when its time to go to the bathroom. That last photo was taken several months back in a Beverly Hills hotel where after a wild night with my dog Pypeetoe watching every move we both adjourned to separate suites. The male partner of the other couple we dined on has probably not yet recovered although I picked up the tab. I was giving Greg who is a terrific guy until the close of business today to meet or exceed the offer I had on the table to sell my building in Santa Monica.

 

The following morning while seated around the swimming pool Pypeetoe did his business #2 which he always does before eating a 3 course meal, rarely though does it go to 5. A cousin of Derrick’s informed us then of this San Diego dog-scooping company that goes around to privileged folks’ homes picking up their dog’s poop. Their slogan is something alone the lines of, “Our number #1 business is taking care of your bitches as well as their #2 business affairs, to boot” [sic].

 

 It is unlikely Ms. “Sticky” Vicky would have been allowed much grace by db once he got her all figured out as sporting as he is. db despite having produced two kids of his own still remains more of a sportsman than me and I know for certain he can still add and then sum. I am, however, catching up fast and all that one needs as proof is to take a look at my dog that is on track to be the first Italian Greyhound to compete in an Iron Man competition assuming the Fish and Wildlife along with the Animal Welfare folk approve. That last picture of SIG was taken more than 6 months ago when our Super Italian Greyhound was just a year. My “travel companion’s” brother who is with the RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] is scheduled to visit later in March as he trains for the next Iron Man Competition. My dad is scheduled to visit also in March and my hope is that he too will be up to speed although I wish he would just get the hell out of South Africa before I fire my next round of communications all geared, however, to stop the masses from attacking all whites, paying no attention to those like my father who are “colorblind” and who still have a lot of good left deep in their soul to help those most in need and besides I have an amazing Greek lady to introduce him to whose husband, my good friend, recently passed away. It will be interesting to see how Jean Dion uses the fact that I have yet to train Pypeetoe how to ride a bicycle to talk me out of entering one of my next meal tickets in the Iron Man World Championships.

 

By the way, I did take the liberty of introducing Ms. Schiff to a single bachelor friend of mine who has the CBS 60 Minutes connection without realizing at the time how much of a favor I did myself by not pushing that relationship which like every relationship I have pushed tends to go down the tubes, breaking glass to avoid at all cost. When surfing it is always best to do it alone. Soon though it will be time for serfers across the world to sit back, first to take not necessarily the most comfortable seat in the house, and relax as I turn up the heat on the most rapacious characters of our time.

 

How much liberty proponents of the First Amendment like the ACLU are going to provide to me as I go about exposing the hypocrisy in our country to begin with, is going to get interesting; never to forget the trip I look with Mr. Tony Leon, the head of the opposition party in South Africa, and my “English folks” through the Houses of Parliament in South Africa walking on limestone rock chiseled by folks like Nelson Mandela whose brain unfortunately got as much messed with as a guy’s buttocks I saw the other night on the TV show Kingpin. Naturally Mr. Leon as well as the ever diminutive Minister of Finance for South Africa remains on my E-mail list unless “otherweiss” [sic] advised.

 

Suffice to say, stay warm and dry and leave your guns at home securely locked out of the reach of the kids and those who don’t believe God is watching our every move.
