-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORRECTIONS CONFUSION AND APOLOGIES
Thank God its Sunday and the start of another week because last week we really messed things up. Namazu's twin posts on the Future of America drew in so many new visitors and continues to draw in visitors apparently specifically looking for those posts. We' thought that we'd simplify things a bit. While we continued to identify where the two posts were for days after they went up, it became clear that the traffic might last into January. So we pulled down all of the station IDs between the first post of part one, and the last post of part two.
That led to a cascade of errors some of which we may never be able to fix. The most obvious was that we repeated a day on labeling our station ID and did not catch that error till Saturday. That's why there is no "Week End Edition", this weekend, only a Saturday and Sunday version. Saturday became a regular work day as we struggled to fix what we can. So for posterity that may be researching this blog in the future for any reason; be forewarned for more than a week preceding this station ID, there are all sorts of problems. Some may never be corrected. We are simply going to label last week "THE NAMAZU HOLE", the left over cyber cavity created by the sudden appearance on our blog of a giant 3,000 year old Japanese catfish (former) demigod. We are going to continue to carry Namazzu and operate the Namazu School of Climate Studies but when the great catfish appears in the future we will be in full damage control mode so as to avoid the scars on the cyber landscape that his first appearances caused. -------------------------------------------------------------------------TODAYRelax and view our funny pages, we may be working but its still Sunday-------------------------------------------------------------------------------YESTERDAYLEARN ABOUT THE SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC FROM YOU FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOODREAD "AN UNDERWATER ICE STATION ZEBRA", Recovering a Secret Spy satellite Capsule from 16,000 Feet Below the Pacific Ocean a 36 page internet read or down load free from your friendly neighborhood :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE LATEST FROM NAMAZU , FORMER JAPANESE GIANT CATFISH DEMIGOD |

THURSDAY 11/15/1012: Namazu took us back to Galveston, Texas 1900 for a look at the greatest natural disaster to hit America in her entire history in search of lessons relevant to disaster preparedness.
MONDAY 11/14/2012 (Repost originally posted 11/08): NAMAZU REPOSTED PART 2 OF HIS TWO PART SERIES ON THE VULNERABILITIES IN OUR UTILITY GRID AND HOW THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE SIZE OF DISASTER IN THE WAKE OF COASTAL STORMS AND SUGGESTS A COUPLE OF SOLUTIONS FROM NAVAL ARCHITECTURE THAT COULD MAKE THE GRID LESS VULNERABLE.
*Station IDs between 11/7 and the repost were temporarily removed so that parts 1 & 2 would appear sequentially, to ease searching by the many visitors who are appearing on key word searches that indicate an interest in these two posts.
NAMAZU'S INCREASINGLY POPULAR TWO PART POST ON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, HIS PREDICTIONS FOR ECONOMIC RECOVERY, AND HIS VISION OF THE FUTURE OF AMERICA IS STILL POSTED.

READ LIKE A CATFISH:
People who have read "NAMAZU FULLY LOADED: THE FUTURE OF AMERICA" keep asking how this 3,000 yer old catfish knows so much. Well, obviously being 3,000 years old gives one a unique and very deep historical perspective. While Namazu generally hangs out in the Pacific off the Sea of Japan he is a world traveler as his recent visit to our office demonstrated. Being able to take human form on rare occasions gives one an inter-species broad breath of perception. But how is he able to predict the future? Namazu says that the ability to predict the future was never in his union contract as a "demigod", a term he now describes as "unfortunate and inaccurate."He maintains that he uses the same type of analytic tools as human prognosticators but better quality, and of course he has that unique historical and global perspective. Namazu claims no future predictive accuracy much greater than the best computer enhanced, human team of forecasters. He does claim to use better data, some of it quite expensive as we learned in that little controversy over the "NAMAZU FULLY LOADED" controversy. We have asked Namazu to share with his fans a reading list that will help readers to master the Catfish perspective. He has promised to keep his suggested reading list within reasonable retail pricing and to stay away from suggesting some of the data bases that he occasionally accesses that costs thousands of dollars. So today we present the first installment of the NAMAZU READING LIST.
THE NAMAZU READING LIST IS NOT REVIEWED BY THE AMERICAN ADMIRALTY BOOKS EDITORIAL STAFF. THESE RECOMMENDED PUBLICATIONS ARE THE SOLE OPINION OF NAMAZU THE EARTH SHAKER

In this first installment Namazu reminds readers that oil isn't the first commodity to drive the global economy. In the ancient past other commodities have had serial central roles. The first step in understanding the role of oil in the global economy is understanding the rise and fall of predecessor central commodities. Namazu suggest that if you weren't actually alive and involved in ocean shipping for the last 3,000 years that the following books can help you to see the global economy from the catfish perspective: Click on the book cover icons to read more about, or to order the books.
