It baa at tho same United States, time excitrd political ambitions aud ap-! Tho ncw coninieroial trealy between thc sufficiently Inrge fur thc wants of the peo¬ ple, con bo permnnently, usefully nnd safe¬ ly mnintaincd. Is thero, then, any other mode in whioh the necessary provision for the public wanta can bo made, nnd tho groat ndvanlagcs of a safe nnd uniform cnrronoy scoured ? I know of none whioh promises so cer¬ tain results, and ia at the camo lime, so prehensiuna whieh have pruduced a pro-1 Uniud States nnd tho Sultan uf Turkey | uuubjcctionablo, as tho organization of a found agitation throughout the civilized world. In thia unusual ngitalion we have forborne from takiug part in any contro- veray between foreign States and betweeo parties or factious in such Statea. We have attempted no propag.sndism, ^"liiid acknowledged no revolution ; but we hive loft to cvory notion thc exulusivo conduct and mnnagcmenluf its own aflfairs. Our struggle hns boon, of oourse, con¬ templated by foreign natiuns with rcfor- CDce luss to ita own lueriLs than lo its sup¬ posed and often exaggerated cfrec6 nnd consequences resulting to tho.sc natiuns themselves. Nevertheless, complaint on the pnrt of thia Qovcrnment, oven if it woro just, would certainly be unwise. The treaty with Great Britain for the suppression of tho slave trade has beoo pul into operation with a good prospeot of complete Hucoess. It ia nn occasion of specinl pleasure to acknowledge that tho e.<(Ocutioo of il, on the part ot her Majes¬ ty's Government, has been marked with a jealous re.specl fur thc authority of tho United States and the rights of their mor¬ al and loyal cilizens. Thc Convention w'th Hanover, for the abolition of the Stadt dues, baa beeu car¬ ried into full effect under tha aot of Con¬ gresa for that purposo. A blockade of three thousaud miles of eea coast could ool be eatablished and vig¬ orously enforced iu a season of great uoui- inercial activity like the preseut, without eommitting occasional inistakos and in¬ flicting uuinteutionnl injnHes upon foreign Dictions and subjects. A civil war occur- Ttog ia a c.iuutry where forcignevd rosido and carry un trade under treaty stipula- tioDi is ueccii^rily fruitful of complaints of the viuhition of neutral rights. All sucb collisions tend to excite mis- appruhensiuns aod posiiibly to produce niu taal reclamations betwcon nationa which havo a caiumon interest in preserving peace and friendship. Io clear cases of has boon carrioit iutu execution. A com- inei'cial and consular treaty hns boon ne¬ gotiated, snbject to the Senate's consent, with Liberia, and a similar negotiation is now pending wilh tho llepublio of Ilayti. A ciinsiderublo improvement of thc nation¬ al commerce is ozpcotcd to result frum Ihcso measures. Our lolnlionswitli Gront Britain,Frnnce, Spain, Portugal, liu.ssin, Prussia, Heu- ninrk, Sweden, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Home nnd the other Kuropcao Sl.ifes, remain undisturbed. Very favor¬ able relations nlsu cuntinuc to be luaio- tnincd with Turkey, Morocco, China and Japan. During thc last year thero has nol only been no change of our previous relations wilh lho indejicndeut States of our own continent, but more friendly Bcntimcnts banking association, uuder a general act of Congress, well guarded in itspruvision.s. To such Hssocintlons the government might furnish circulating notes, on the seuurify of U. S. bonds, deposited in tho treasury. These notes, prepared undor tho suporvis¬ ion of proper oflicers, being uniform in nppearance and sccority, and convertible always ioto coin, would at orieo protect la¬ bor against tho cvile ofa vicious currency, nnd facilitate commerce by cheap and safe exchanges. A modcrntc reservation frum the inter¬ est on tho bonds wuuld oompeosato tho U. States for the propnration and distribufioo of tho notes, and a general supervision of the system, and would lighten thc burden of that part of tho public debt ompluycd as Bocurities.

Thc joint commis-siou between the Uni¬ ted Slates nnd the Ilepublic of Costn Kioa has completed its Inbors and submitted ita report. I have favored tho pr.iject fur connect¬ ing thc United Slatea with Kuropo by nn Atlantic telegraph, and n similar project to extend the telegraph to San Frnnciso bouds which tho adoption of tbo prop system irould crcntc.

I have proposed to some uf the foreign Steles thus inter¬ etted mutual ebnventiont to examine and adjust such complaiota. Thit proposition bu been mado eapeeially to Great Britain, to Fraooe, to Spaiu and to Prussia. Id each case it has been kindly reeeived, but has not yet been formally adopted. I deem it my duty tu recOuimeod an appropriation in behalf of the owoers of tbe Norwegian barque Admiral P. Tor- denikiold, which veetel wis, iu May, '61, prereoted by the commander of tho block¬ ading force off Charleston from leaving that port with a cargo, uutwithstaading a privilege bad, thortly before, been ganized ns States, and be Cniiatitutiunally admitted inlo the Foaeral Unioo. Tho immenae mineral resources of aome of thcso Territories ought to bo devcluped as rabidly as possille. Every stop in that direction would havo a tendenoy lo im¬ prove thc roveon* of thc goveinicent nnd diminish the burdens of the peoplo. It is worthy of your ferious consideration whe¬ ther ioine extraordinary measures to pro- mole that cod cannot be adopted. The means whioh suggests itself .'as most likely to be elfcetive, is a fcicntifrc explorution of the minernl regions in those Territories with a view to tho publication of ils ro- sults at home and in furoign oouotries— results whiob cannot fail to ba auspicious. The condition of tho finances will claim yonr mott diligent considoratiou.

The deficiency iu the Itiipartmont for lho prev¬ ious year was 81,551,906 9S. For tho Inst fiscal year it was reduoed to 82,112,- .814 57. These favorable results are in part owing to the cessation of mail service in the in- BUrrciliooary States, nnd in part lu careful review of all cxpcudilurcs in that depart¬ ment, in tho intereat of eoonomy. The elficicncy of the postal service, it is belie¬ ved, has also boon muoh improved. Tho IVlmastsr Geoeral bos also opened a cor- respondeocc, tbrough the Department of Stole, with foreign goveinmontt, propos¬ ing n conventioo of postal represontaUvcs for tho purpose of simplifying the rates of foreign postago, and to oxpeuilo the for¬ eign mails. This proposition, equally im¬ portant to oar adopted citizcna, und lo the comn.ercial intorests of this oouulry, has booo fuvorably cnlcrtaiued, and agreed to, by all the governnieuts from whom replies have beoo received.

From thu 1st of July 1861, to tbe 30lh nf September, 1862, the eniire cnsh receipts from the sale uf lands were 8246,470 20—a sum much less than the expenses of our land system during tho same period.

Old COP MB
SENIORS ... HOW the FIGHT STARTED:
One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift.
The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
And that's how the fight started.....
My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No", she answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started...
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first ... the shed, the boat, making beer. Always something more important to me. Finally, she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway"
The doctors say I will walk again, once my testicles descend, but I will always have a limp.
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?"
I said, "Dust."
And then the fight started.
______________________________ __
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our forthcoming anniversary.
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 225 in about 2 seconds."
I bought her bathroom scales.
And then the fight started.
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, "Unbutton your shirt"
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me", and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, "You should have dropped your pants. You might have got disability too."
And then the fight started.
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment."
I replied, "Your eyesight's perfect."
And then the fight started.
I rear-ended a car this morning ... the start of a REALLY bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said "I am NOT happy!"
So I said, "Well, which one ARE you then?"
That's how the fight started...

David Gates "Converging Crises" (actual name is "Converging Crises")
David Gates is one of my personal heroes of faith and action ever since i learned about him from the book "Mission Pilot" which i was handed to read in Cambodia in 2006. Many of his sermons have inspired me and strengthened my faith and prodded me to do more for my Master.
In August 2007 in Bangkok, he was a speaker at the ASI convention which i attended. His dynamism was contagious, and he really exemplified the pattern of Jesus – giving your all to save souls. He did make a few comments which concerned me – comments denigrating the leaders of the United States government, and a few odd conspiracy theories. I politely warned him about this in a couple of emails, to which there has never been a reply.
I hadn't listened to any of his sermons for about half a year, when, in October i think, i noticed that there was some bruha on audioverse.org about the removal of his "Converging Crisis" audio. Reading the reasons given, and knowing Brother David's conspiracy comments before, i sent a email encouraging the webmaster at audioverse. But actually, i should have carefully listened to the content first before doing that.
What has prompted this review, is that last week a strong SDA friend in India said two of his closest church Brothers had stopped attending church because of this sermon, saying that "Jesus is going to come back before 2031 anyway, so what need is there to go to church now"? Fortunately my friend did not follow them.
The above is the background on this review. I hope everyone reading this understands that i do love and respect Brother David Gates very much. I also hope everyone understands that we must point out error wherever it raises its ugly head – because no error can stand with the truth. I have graded it "F" because it is mixing truth and error. The spiritual message in this sermon is so very powerful and straight, that it deserves a A+++. But Bible-contradicting error is also included – including dissing our government leaders, and setting dates for when Jesus has to return by. The economic information given also is laughably wrong, thus turning away many intelligent minds from the spiritual truths that are contained.
What are in very large quote marks below is exactly what he says in the sermon, or is a summary of what he says. Everything else is my response.
All of the forecasts they make are totally unpredictable, because the future is unpredictable.
Brother David, your "forecast" about their "forecasts" is totally wrong, and you know it. In looking at the median economic growth forecast for example taken from a large sample of economists, you usually get something quite close to the actual figure, with a few of the forecasters hitting the nail on the head. Weather forecasts have been getting more and more accurate, and with the increase of knowledge and use of computers etc., the accuracy of economic forecasting has been improving as well. This accusation is just false.
Nobody is making long-term plans anymore.
This statement is completely false as a 2-second search on the internet will prove.
Things are changing so fast, that there is no way you can possibly know. So people are trying to figure out what to do just for today and tomorrow, they aren't worried about ten years from now anymore. People used to make ten-year plans. Very few companies today will have a ten-year strategic plan, it is very difficult.
Flat out wrong David. Why are you making such outrageous claims? What are you reading or watching to get to this bent shape of mind?
It is totally impossible to make an accurate ten-year plan.
No it isn't.
Now it's my word against David's. Who is right?
That's one of the points i'm trying to make in this whole exercise of making a review of this sermon – there are many things that are quite ridiculous, that cannot be proven, and that have absolutely nothing to do with the Three Angels' Messages. They are "scare" phrases often used by speakers to get the audience to believe that everything they have been taught is wrong.
This is not a good way to reach normal, thinking people. This is what is usually done to reach people who are interested in theories such as aliens/illuminati/zionists/George Bush etc. etc. being behind every bad thing that happens, and that these groups are trying to take over the world. These conspiracy theories are driving away the true-in-heart, and attracting dross to the Little Flock. Enough! Just preach the straight truth, and let the truth cut to the heart without all this falsehood being mixed in with it.
Sin entered the world after 31 years, because Jesus died exactly 4,000 years later.
Not supported by inspired writings Brother. You are guilty of reading something into the text that is NOT there.
2031 is the outside limit of the period allocated, the maximum period allocated for this world's great controversy….. Jesus will not come back after 2031…. This is absolutely, positively the last generation.
David Gates – you have sinned with these words. God's messenger says in CEV p.25: "The Lord has shown me that the message of the third angel must go, and be proclaimed to the scattered children of the Lord, and that it should not be hung on time; for time never will be a test again. I saw that some were getting a false excitement arising from preaching time; that the third angel's message was stronger than time can be. I saw that this message can stand on its own foundation, and that it needs not time to strengthen it, and that it will go in mighty power, and do its work, and will be cut short in righteousness."
No doubt you did not intend to lead anyone astray by making this statement, Brother David. But by this statement, i know of 2 Brothers in India prone to fanaticism, who have stopped attending church because of what you have said here. They see no reason to go to a sleeping church, because Jesus will come back so soon anyway. You see, by mixing in lies with truth, your whole message becomes a corrupt mass, leading to things that none of us could possibly imagine. Whereas if we stay on the path of truth alone, these people may fall off at some point anyway, but at least their blood is not on our hands. Now will you repent and not repeat this error again? Please David, don't create a "false excitement" on time again.
If you really believed Jesus was coming back soon, you would spend your time and money differently.
Just type in "bankruptcy 1971 united states" and boom, you'll find it on the internet. In 1971 the United States, all of its assets was equivalent to all of its debts. And when you have 10,000 dollars in cash and you owe 10,000 dollars to your university how much money do you have? Your net worth is? Zero. That's called "bankruptcy", when there's nothing in the bank.
This is quite funny, but perhaps not in the way Brother David intended. Typing this in and going to the first hit landed me at a page that was pro Congressman Ron Paul, the goofiest "right-wing" member of congress. In fact, he is so goofy, that many left-wingers like him too, resulting in a very interesting phenomenon – a convergence of the far-right and far-left. At least one person on the internet (Charles Johnson at littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog) has started calling this the "Moronic Convergence". This has an eerily similar-sounding ring to the title of this sermon……
In 1972 the Federal Reserve chairman said…Americans will continue to borrow and borrow and borrow. The United States government will continue to borrow, and eventually, in about 30 years there will be no assets of any kind, we will have consumed everything we own and the entire nation will collapse like a house of cards.
The ball is in your court to prove this quote Brother David. I've searched on the internet, and cannot find anything remotely close to this. Please show your source, and not just what you heard on the radio in 1972. BTW, many people believed that aliens had attacked earth because of what they heard Orson Welles say on the radio 🙂
Arthur Burns was the Federal Reserve Chairman when this statement about the US being "bankrupt" was supposedly made in 1971 and/or 1972. Searching on the internet reveals nothing regarding this supposed saying. Now if the Federal Reserve Chairman said such a thing, don't you think the financial markets – like the Treasury Bond market or stock market would show some kind of reaction – a huge reaction? But it is not there. Yes, the United States did stop allowing foreigners to exchange their dollars for gold in 1971. Some pundits at the time probably did refer to it as "the end of capitalism" or even worse. But until you can prove this, David, i must say that your recollection is faulty.
If you owe 57 trillion, and you own nothing, you are a slave.
The US owns "nothing"?
David talks about some French economic publication by a semi-closed group.
If this is the GEAB report group that you tout in your emails David, i have warned you before, they do not believe in God's word, and are making predictions directly contrary to the Bible, even saying that Asia and Europe are "decoupling from the US", and that the US will wane in influence in the world. But Revelation says America will cause all the world to make a Sunday law.
If the government took 100% of everything you make, it still could not pay the interest.
Total baloney. This is the total interest expense on America's national debt in 2008: $451,154,049,950.63 (source: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/ir/ir_expense.htm)
451 billion usd is a lot of money, but the GDP the same year was 14.33 TRILLION dollars (source: cia factbook). So you can easily see, the interest on the national debt is much less than even 5% of what the country as a whole earned!
In talking about printing money to pay for the Iraq war and Homeland Security:
I can give Cheney a contract to help him and Bush and other things.
This again is another direct sin, contrary to the Bible, Brother David. Please repent and learn to follow God in all you say and do. Talking like this really disgusts lots of intelligent people, while at the same time, encourages conspiracy-theorists to "fanaticise" the Little Flock.
Does making a jibe at the leaders of the country obey God's word to "honor the king"?
Is this the group of people you are aiming to join, Brother David? I pray not.
Then he preaches the gold standard, and says we are on no standard.
What does this have to do with our precious Three Angels' Messages? Nothing. Dross.
That's where we are right now in our nation, the paper is worthless.
Ridiculous as you well know. Now some may say "he is just using hyperbole to make a point". But the point is, the words are false, and the impression they give is false.
Bank runs talked about – If they run out of cash in any way….
David, don't you remember you just said a few minutes earlier that the government was printing cash like crazy thus diluting the value. Now you are saying the banks have no cash. Which is the truth? Or are both false???
The banks don't have cash anymore.
I'm really concerned for you Brother David. You are speaking you know not what.
We are living in the last months before the final collapse.
But Brother, you yourself just said earlier that: "All of the forecasts they make are totally unpredictable, because the future is unpredictable." Of course that would include your stab in the dark totally unpredictable also. Why are you so foolish to waste all our time on something you have no clue about?
The gas prices will continue to go of course (meaning "up"). They are having to pay for their oil in euros.
Hello? David? You said what?
You have control of a massive source of fuel (saying that the US is getting oil from Iraq).
Again Brother, you have absolutely no facts to back up your outrageous claims. This is standard far-left fare, and you seem to have bitten off a big chunk of it, just as you have bitten off a big chunk of far-right fare as shown earlier. The facts are, that a very few US oil companies have been granted rights to explore for deposits and/or purchase oil from the Iraqi government. There is absolutely no one anywhere that i know of with any evidence at all of the US taking any oil out of Iraq without paying for it.
There's going to be a whole new set of laws….
Scare tactics. Maybe true, maybe not.
He basically says that America will become a police state and they will kill everybody in the cities. Then near the end of the sermon he quotes again some "secret" source saying that Hurricane Katrina was a "test run" to enable the government to take over the cities in the future.
Again, scary scary – with absolutely no proof. Brother David, are these things coming out of your mouth leading people to exemplify the characteristics of Jesus Christ in their lives – humble, meek, holy, obedient? Or do these things tend to make people doubters, despisers of authority, headstrong, and selfwilled?
He basically says: The publishing of the economic indicators were abolished in March.
OK, this remark is totally way over the top, as the US govt. continues to publish untold numbers of economic indicators, but probably David, you are talking about the M3 money supply figures. If so, here is the explanation from Wikipedia: "When the Federal Reserve announced in 2005 that they would cease publishing M3 statistics in March 2006, they explained that M3 did not convey any additional information about economic activity compared to M2, and thus, had not been used in determining monetary policy for years. Therefore, the costs to collect M3 data outweighed the benefits the data provided".
Many countries around the world have never provided this data either. Does that mean that all these countries that don't provide M3 data including now the United States are in some kind of secret arrangement to deceive all their citizens? Hardly. Why are official statements so hard to believe? Here again, it is interesting on the Wikipedia site that Congressman Ron Paul is mentioned as a vocal opponent of the Fed's decision to quit publishing M3 figures!
He basically says no one in Bolivia takes US dollars – even the moneychangers don't take it.
This has nothing at all to do with the value of the US dollar, as you should well know, having traveled even more than myself. The USD is accepted in every country where the government is not anti-US. This is what the Lonely Planet has to say about exchanging usd in Bolivia. "Visitors fare best with US dollars (travelers have reported that it's difficult to change euros)."
You'd better have some seeds you can plant… Start growing now…. You'd better get some rice and beans.
Brother David Gates, you are again directly contradicting God, who said thru his messenger in Broadside #2:
We are approaching…months from national ruin.
Another forecast that by Brother David's own admission is unpredictable. Another problem should now be evident. All this "shock and scare" talking has numbed the audience, and outrageous, ridiculous statements have little impact at this point.
He then talks about secret meetings to get the Sunday laws into action in America. In connection with this, he says Bill Knott's editorial in the Review is "one of the most aggressive editorials i've ever read".
Perhaps Brother David is getting his information from Hal Meyers and Bob Gregory at Hartland, both of whom are deep into conspiracy, anti-US govt. talk of which i have warned them both about in the past. This supposedly "secret" meeting isn't very secret is it? Why, the people behind it must be a bunch of morons if they can't even keep such a hush-hush thing secret from some amateur people.
This conspiracy theory stuff is really hard to get out of a person – i know, i used to believe junk like this myself up until about the time of the Waco debacle. Conspiracy theories make the holder of them feel superior to everyone, and make them suspicious of everyone. There is absolutely nothing in conspiracy theories to lead one to become more like Jesus. Let's throw them all away, and just spread the straight truth.
The Sunday Law will probably pass this year. Everything the pope asks Bush, he gives it to him – everything….Our US President will sign anything that Rome wants. And they want to do it before he leaves office.
Dissing the govt. leaders is contrary to the Bible. And this did not happen.
==="Bankrupt" What does this word mean? Does it really mean as David says that "your debts equal your assets"? This sounds possibly true to someone not thinking carefully – after all, you are "broke" when you are at zero. But in fact, is this the definition of "bankrupt"?
Merriam-webster.com defines it as:
1 a: a person who has done any of the acts that by law entitle creditors to have his or her estate administered for their benefit
b: a person judicially declared subject to having his or her estate administered under the bankrupt laws for the benefit of creditors
c: a person who becomes insolvent
2: a person who is completely lacking in a particular desirable quality or attribute
Well, this means we need to know what "insolvent" means:
1 a (1): unable to pay debts as they fall due in the usual course of business (2): having liabilities in excess of a reasonable market value of assets held b: insufficient to pay all debts
Now this is very easy to understand, and actually, i'm surprised i haven't seen lots of comments on this one glaring error – You are not "bankrupt" until you have no way to repay your debt.
If Brother David's definition was true, then everyone who has taken out a mortgage on their home, with home's value declining below the payback amount of the mortgage (assuming no other debts or assets) is suddenly "bankrupt"! And the young teenager who gets his first job, buys a new car with a loan, and drives it off the dealer's car lot is suddenly "bankrupt"! (again assuming no other debts or assets). You see, it doesn't work like that at all. You are bankrupt when you CANNOT pay back your debts.
Isn't this what Jesus referred to in his parable of the two debtors also? The one owed equivalent to many billions of dollars. He was "bankrupt". The other owed just a little. He was "in debt". The "bankrupt" one was forgiven his huge debt, but then tried to squeeze the one not in such a bad condition.
=== Mortgage I don't know why Brother David's father took out the first loan on his property, but probably it was because he saw the need for a fairly large sum at once, and this was the easiest way to obtain it. Praise God the financial system was there to allow him to do this. But to do it a 2nd time? – And then a 3rd time? Well, the financial system is making money on processing the loans, that's for sure. From my perspective, the father would be able to give more money to support missionary work if he would put the income he is earning into some income-producing fund or interest-drawing savings to RECEIVE more, rather than using it to PAY the lender interest on his mortgage until it is paid off.
I got the feeling from listening to this, that the father is planning to "stiff" the bank when money becomes worthless, and just "walk away" as David puts it, from the farm when the time comes. – Not a good Christian witness, but i hope i misunderstand what he is saying.
Brother David, please delete all this economic and conspiracy nonsense from your sermons, and you will have the straight truth, just what is needed for God's church, the Seventh-day Adventist church, in this time of shaking.

By Gabriel Enogholase
BENIN—OBA of Benin, Omo N' Oba Ewuare II, has called on the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, to put in place measures that will protect the nation's borders against external aggression.
The Benin monarch who gave the advice in Benin City, yesterday, in his palace when he received the new Edo State Comptroller of Immigration, Mr. Kayode Eniolorunda, said that the reported attacks by suspected criminals disguising as herdsmen may not be unconnected with the state of the borders.
He said: "No country can leave its borders so porous. You see what President Donald Trump is trying to do with Mexico. When you see some of the herdsmen with their cattle and stick and at the same time, AK47 (rifles) on their shoulders, it is very disturbing."
Oba Ewuare II advised the Nigeria Immigration Service to do its best to monitor the population, especially in the rural areas, in order to prevent any infiltration and also protect lives and property.
Earlier, Eniolorunda explained that the state command of NIS had taken steps to increase security monitoring in the rural areas, with the deployment of personnel to the 18 local government areas of the state.
He stated that the officers will work with other security agencies for peace and development in their areas of jurisdiction.

Folks, we just had the equivalent of a 9.0 financial earthquake, this one with an epicenter in New York City and London, and it was all man-made. The aftershocks are being felt throughout the world, and there will be aftershocks aplenty. Where was the adult supervision?
A number of years ago when I was living in Los Angeles, it was a mid-November Saturday afternoon, very dry, and the Santa Ana winds were blowing. All of a sudden, I heard screams of Fire Fire! The roof of the house to the rear of my backyard was engulfed in flames. So I scampered to my rooftop with garden hose in hand, ready to protect my hearth and home. About 20 neighbors soon arrived in my backyard to watch LA's finest firefighters bring the fire under control. I descended from my rooftop perch having done my job. We survived.
I learned that two boys belonging to a neighbor about 100 feet down the block had been playing with matches and set a tree on fire. In the dry heat with winds blowing, sparks blew across to our neighbor's house, and thus our neighbor lost most of his house. It could have been the entire neighborhood, if not a large part of LA.
Two important points come to mind. Where was the adult supervision? Fortunately taking affirmative action prevailed over panic and fear.
Too bad that both earthquake and (wild) fire metaphors seem appropriate to describe what is going on in the financial, real estate and other markets.
Mayor Newsom spoke at a Business Times breakfast a week or so ago. He rattled off a bunch of statistics, which impressed me.
Source: Mayor's office of Economic and Work Force Development – Economic Data Book
There are some basic economic supports for the San Francisco economy. Yes, we are going to feel the effects – probably for some time – of the financial earthquake, but I would rather be here than New York where the financial community represents a much bigger piece of the economic pie, or cities like Detroit that were already experiencing hard times and scandal, or the many smaller communities just 25 miles or so outside of San Francisco where subprime and Alt A ran wild.
I get that people are scared, and in shock: but the point is not everyone. I did an informal survey among real estate agents last week. I asked two questions: (1) Do you perceive a slowdown in traffic for re-sales? (2) Do you perceive a greater hesitancy on the part of buyers? Yes was the answer to both questions by the overwhelming majority of those who answered; but not all. One agent characterized the traffic situation as - slightly less traffic for B properties and strong traffic for A properties - some buyers feel that this market is the time to get a great deal.
My sense is that as long as the media, politicians and others who feed off our attraction to drama stir that pot, 80%/90% of buyers are not going to do anything for awhile, and I have no idea how long that is going to be. But I also sense that 20%/10% will take action based on a real need to buy. Either because they have made a commitment to relocate to the City for a new job or are empty nesters and have already made a decision to move. There are also investors who have saved up for rainy days. Remember, as the Dow Jones plummets some 300/400 points on any given day, there is always a buyer on the other side of every trade. Another data point – some 10% to 15% of new listings are going into contract the same week that they are listed! Some people out there are 'pulling the trigger' when they see what they want.
The majority are probably concerned that the earth will open up and engulf all of us. The more astute see an opportunity. We seem to prevail after countless cycles of earthquakes, wildfires, and economic disasters.
Bright Spots
Buying residential real estate is not a short-term trade. One needs at the very least a 5 to 7 year horizon. If we review average San Francisco prices for both single-family homes and condominiums for the last 20 years, had you bought in any year, you would have experienced appreciation over the ensuing 5 to 7 years. Yes, I know this is history, and the current situation is dire. Though we are not all the way through 2008, for the nine months to September 30th, year over year, the average price of single-family homes in the City is flat while condominiums are up 2.4%. I would have guessed the opposite. Certainly some neighborhoods of the City are suffering mightily, for example, homes in Bay View, Hunters Point and Visitacion Valley at the southern end of the City are off about 19% and probably pulled down the single-family average, but as whole the City is holding up so far.
Take, for example, South of Market St. where some would say excessive building has taken place over the last few years. The good news for those who have recently bought a condominium here is that their property value is probably going to experience a shot in the arm as a result of the current financial crisis; because there is going to be less building in the next three to five years. Some projects will be cancelled outright while others will be delayed. Lenders are going to sit on their money until their collective confidence and capital are renewed. Also, the cost of construction is up significantly and there will really be no significant projects built until both the financial situation stabilizes AND sales prices go up. Fewer condominiums for sale, even in the face of lesser demand, probably bodes well for today's buyer. Add in the fact that (the majority of) sellers are also nervous, means that attractive deals are to be had in the midst of this troubled market.
My counsel to buyers, no matter the San Francisco neighborhood, take your time to learn and understand the basics of San Francisco residential real estate and connect with a trusted and savvy agent who can negotiate and execute the transaction. My counsel to sellers is that there are in fact buyers in this market, but you need to price your property really really attractively – at a price that you would buy it in this uncertain market.

The Senate and the House ended the 3 day government shutdown yesterday by approving legislation that would keep the government open until Feb. 8, as well as fund the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for the next ten years The CHIP program provides coverage to an estimated 9 million children in families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford private insurance. 17,000 children are on CHIP (HUSKY B) in CT and many of them are patients at First Choice Health Centers, as well as other Federally Qualified Health Centers in the state. We are grateful that many of our youngest patients will be able to continue to receive quality and affordable healthcare at First Choice.

I want
But cannot have
I desire
But cannot fulfill
I yearn
But cannot touch
I hunger
But cannot taste
One look
One smile
One kiss
Just out of reach
A tantalizing glimpse

I want

I yearn
But cannot touch
I hunger
But cannot taste
One look
One smile
One kiss
Just out of reach
A tantalizing glimpse
Copyright © 2014 Shawn D. Standfast. All rights reserved.
Early morning fog shrouds the forest in its silvery grip
Smokey tendrils rise up and swirl reaching for the light
Bare trees sway dripping morning dew like tears of joy
The sigh of a new day dawning echoes through the mist
The sun breaks through cascading its rays burning a path
Sunlight dances on the breeze drying all that it caresses
Swollen streams rushing ever onward yearning for release
Blackened leaves float, a remembrance of autumn past
Rustling of cherry blossoms and bird song fill the air
Flowers reaching upward glistening in morning light
Clouds ever shifting, battling for position overhead
Coolness of their creeping shadows felt as they pass
In an ever changing pattern grey clouds move in
Soon a bursting sun shower dampens the ground
With the rain gone the sun returns with its warmth
And a sweet scent of spring wafts through the air
Birds flutter from tree top to tree top basking in warmth
The sky clears; a deep blue canopy stretches forth above
A shining moon hovers in the sky as day and night equal
Butterflies dance on sunbeams announcing spring is here
Copyright © 2014 Shawn D. Standfast. All rights reserved.
I want to hold you tight in my arms
Tighter than you've ever been held
I want to hear your heart beating
Feel your hot breath on my neck
For you to surrender your fears
Knowing you are safe and warm
Letting me into those dark places
Sharing the darkness deep inside
To see the trust flow from your eyes
Replacing welling tears with hope
Wiping away those tear stained lines
Leaving smiling eyes filled with joy
Moving forward, leaving the past behind
Mending broken thoughts, healing scars
Strengthened by this promise to share
Forged in darkness, tempered by pain
Copyright © 2014 Shawn D. Standfast. All rights reserved.
Dancers trip on sunlit beams reflecting on the waves
Demonic glances mirroring their inward convictions
Bursting forth like a kaleidoscope of silent gibberish
Threats held in check by swollen and pierced tongues
Row upon row of severed limbs tanning in the sunlight
Form guttered revelations holding obscene thoughts
The screech of reality longing to envelope the words
Rearranging and bending them into hateful utterances
Sightless birds sing in the grey distance echoing within
Cavernous, roofless rooms imprisoning waking dreams
Etched deep in the bricks oozing forth with decadence
Moments of loneliness cry forth, shivering in darkness
Bloodied, severed fingers point with hated accusation
Leaping to conclusions of prejudice without sympathy
Lips quivering with righteousness, spitting forth venom
Nibbling away like a raven plucking eyes from a cadaver
Hearts and souls withering in the shadow of nearness
A blackness that descends like a shroud enveloping all
Suffocating mind and body with its oppressive stench
Leaving desolation in the empty husks we've become
Copyright © 2014 Shawn D. Standfast. All rights reserved.
Breath quickening
Skin tingling with excitement
Longing for release
Words exploring
Delving deep
Searching in the dark
Peeling away the layers
Exposing desires
Freeing them
Letting them soar
Caressing thoughts
Mind and body raw
Yearning for every sensation
New and wondrous
Fear and excitement
Complete surrender
Complete submission
Copyright © 2013 Shawn D. Standfast. All rights reserved.
Where you are lost
I will hold you
Where you fear
I will give you strength
Where you desire
I will give you release
Peeling away the layers
Searching dark corners
Giving light to the darkness
Complications vanish
Only fulfillment remains

Time comes
Time goes
A beating heart
Will skip a beat
Time to pause
Time to ponder
Time to live
Time to love
Connections forged
Link by link
Through time
Through toil
Through pain
Stronger ties
None is known
Bound for eternity
A dream
Born from strife
Born from pain
Words escape
Words not needed
Senses deepen
Understanding glimmers
Hearts mended
With thoughts
With memory
With pain
With joy
Each separate
Each together
Changing lives
Hope begins again
New dreams

The mind is sensual
The mind is erotic
And sexual
Where it all begins
Where it all ends
An unending exploration
If open
There will be fright
There will be hurt
And endless possibilities
When closed
There is fright
There is hurt
But no possibilities
Stagnation and toil
Desires locked away
Passions unspent
Longing for release
But doomed to remorse
Remorse of lost chances
Remorse of wrong turns
Remorse of hesitation
The mind is pliable
The mind learns
The mind grows
Changes and rearranges
Rebuilding strength
Stronger with every step
Brushing away the doubt
Moonlight becomes mysterious
Compelling, overpowering
Engulfing mind and body
Delivering you whole
Into strong hands
Hands that care
Hands that cherish
Hands that hold
The darkness at bay
Copyright © 2013 Shawn D. Standfast. All rights reserved.
We moved in rhythm
As one together
Engulfing the other
Movement so fine
Movement so soft
In each other's arms
Sweat mingling
Hearts beating as one
Skin sticking to skin
Stockings sliding
Smooth and soft
Your heat, your warmth
Surrounding me
Holding me tight
Desire in your eyes
Moans and cries
Escape parted lips
Muffled by kisses
Sweat beads on skin
Rivulets on thighs
Flesh tingling
Every nerve aware
My weight on you
Sinking into you
Pulling me closer
Wanting me inside
Not wanting to release
Rolling over
Pulling you down
Hands on your hips
Your head thrown back
Thrusting upwards
Every muscle straining
Pulling you close
Firm breasts
Pressed on me
Your scent fills the air
Its heady perfume
Musky and sweet
Movement increases
Hair wet and sticking
Skin moist and sliding
Your screams
My groans
A heavy exhale
On our sides
Not letting go
Holding tight
This feeling of bliss
Looking deep into eyes
Sensual kisses
Soft lips
Salty taste
Breath slowing
Heart beats calming
Falling asleep
Still entwined together
A gentle sleep
To awake in morning light
Still in my arms
Still in my heart
Copyright © 2013 Shawn D. Standfast. All rights reserved.
Her mobile beeps
A special chime sounds
Knowing it is from Sir
A feeling of comfort
A feeling of warmth
A feeling full of excitement
A smile creeps onto her lips
Inside joyous rapture
Hiding it from all
Her secret world
Her secret desires
Finding that precious moment
To open the text and savor
Hearing his voice
Hearing his passion
In every single word
No matter how many times
She becomes weak in the knees
His caress
His breath
His firm hold over her
World around disappears
Only her Master is there
In her mind
In her body
In her soul
In her everything
Instructions read
Instructions obeyed
With excitement
With desire
Without hesitation
Surrendering herself
Her desires
Her passions
Her everything
Making her complete
Longing for his touch
Longing for his approval
Longing to please him
Floating in the warmth
In the waters of submission

Blogger Comment Word Verification Dilemma
I understand how frustrating the word verification is ~ honestly I do. When I comment on other people's blog it does get frustrating. I don't even have sight problems and I can't get it right sometimes.
I had for a time had it turned off because it was causing so many people problems. I initially turned it off in July or something and at first it worked like a charm. More people felt they could leave comments very easily.
It was fine for the first couple weeks then the spammers/spy bots/robo spiders found the blog... I started getting 5-10 comments a day that were spam. Of course Blogger filters most of these so they never get posted on the actual thread which is great. These spam comments go to a separate area that I can go into and determine if they are really spam and either post or delete them but I still get the e-mails with the comment for each one. (more on this file later) O.k... I can deal with a certain number of spam e-mails a day...no biggie.
BUT once it started it escalated to around to 150-200 a day!!! I had to wade through all of those e-mails because in among the spam comments were the actual real comments from actual readers of the blog.
The numbers reached almost 300 spam comments a day ~ I finally couldn't take it anymore and turned the word verification back on at the beginning of November. Since then I have had 2 spammer comments from someone who has a google account and did the word verification. At that time I had nearly 5,000 spam comments to delete every few weeks....all of which were hitting my e-mail inbox each and every day.
So, I know it's really frustrating but until someone comes up with a good way to combat the Lazy Good for Nothing Idiot Spammers and their PITA Programs I'm going to continue to have to leave the word verification on.
I will turn it off for short periods of time like when I participate in a blog hop or the upcoming Ink Stains 5th Anniversary but for the most part I am going to leave it on.
If you would like to comment but don't want to deal with the word verification please know that you can always e-mail me at either e-mail addy.... roni jj @ g mail (dot) com or ink stained roni @ g mail (dot) com (no spaces in either addy).
I hope this helps explain why I turned the bothersome word verification back on.
10 comments:
Blogger word verification doesn't bother me.... but then again I dont visit 50 blogs a day either. lol Let your peeps know if they cant read the verification, they can hit the refresh next to the box (not the refresh on their browsers) until they get one they can read easily. I don't blame you one bit for keeping the verification on. I started getting spam, but not nearly as much as you, so I turned on comment approval by owner and it seems to have worked so far. Good luck at your craft show... those ruler stars are fantastic!! everything is, but those stars I'd have to snatch up!ReplyDelete
It funny how that is but I don't have my blogger account sending me emails so I find no spam on my blog. But what I did find was bloggers that took over old names of blogs that use to be used and convert them to advertising those I did delete from my blogging list. Blogger does have an area where you can just check comments now so perhaps that might help you out :)ReplyDelete
Hi Roni, I never get any spam, due to not accepting anonymus comments... you might want to try that, so let only registered users comment, that does the trick...ReplyDelete
I don't like word verification, that's for sure, i see a text and number for which I'll have to guess what's written...
I don't mind word verification so much. It's a little challenge to solve. I sometimes refresh a few times to get something readable, or even a shorter word. I have it turned off on my blog cos so many sites ask you to do that if you are linking to them but if I start to get loads of spam I will turn it back on. I don't accept anon comments. If someone can't leave a name, even a nickname, then whats the point of commenting. Some sites it's like anonymous is having a whole conversation! Very disconcerting.ReplyDelete
I totally understand. It just means if I really want to comment I just know it may take a few tries.ReplyDelete
WOW! That's a lot of spam emails! Don't blame you a bit for turning it back on.ReplyDelete
No worries Roni - you do what you need to. I can't even imagine having to go through that many emails to make sure you don't miss a few real ones.ReplyDelete
Elaine Allen
Yes it is a pain, and it often takes me three attempts before I get it right, but if you have to have it for a happy life then so be it. I understand. You will have to be resigned to receiving less comments. for awhile.ReplyDelete
We love you anyway! And I sure as heck would not want to weed through all that crap!ReplyDelete
I always struggle with word verification and my eyesight isn't that bad - however when you are getting that much spam I can see that it is an absolute necessity. It never puts me off trying to comment, although if I mess it up too many times I might give up.ReplyDelete
The best thing I've seen if a blog I visit where there is a simple 'tick this box to prove you are not a robot' - no idea now which blog, which platform or if it works, but it is much easier.
Anyway, don't worry, you do what you have to do and having a blog this big, with that much spam, you need to verify.

Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) effects 2-5 million people in the United States. Signs and symptoms of AF can be weakness, palpitations, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath just to mention a few. While younger people can get AF, it is most common in people 65-85 years old. Sometimes medication is enough to control AF, but when medication is not enough an ablation may be the answer.
Cardiologist Dr. Sri Sundaram here at SDCA is an expert in the management and treatment of AF and does a new Hybrid ablation technique to stop AF. Thank you FOX31 KDVR.com for the interview with Dr. Sundaram last week to discuss the new procedure. Watch the video below to learn more or call us for an appointment. 303-744-1065.

Risk Insider: Robert Rheel
Those Darn Tenant Losses: Causes
If you are a landlord, insure habitational risks, or have the responsibility for placement of insurance, then you know there are many possible scenarios that can cost you money, but the number one loss driver is fire caused by tenants.
There is a long laundry list of crazy and preventable causes for these fires and certainly some scary statistics, especially for those of us with families to protect. But when warnings on everything from space heaters to candles and power cords fail to prevent accidental fires, what can be done to help protect landlords and tenants from potentially severe losses?
This is Part One of a two part series. First, let's look at some common fire causes on tenant properties. In the next article, I will focus on what we, as an insurance community, can be doing to provide a solution for these inevitable issues.
Candles can be romantic, set the mood or simply just be the cheapest way to provide light, but they are also a common cause of fires by tenants. Tenants frequently forget about their lit candles and leave them unattended.
When warnings on everything from space heaters to candles and power cords fail to prevent accidental fires, what can be done to help protect landlords and tenants from potentially severe losses?
These forgetful tendencies can lead to a very unromantic turn of events when you find yourself standing outside your building with your neighbors watching firemen extinguish a fire that spread through the entire building including your home.
Smoking is another major cause of fires. Many fires are created by tenants who smoke in units that have oxygen tanks or fall asleep with a cigarette still burning. Both of these examples are extremely dangerous and well-publicized, yet remain a leading cause of fires.
Heating and electrical issues are also primary causes of fires by tenants. Every winter, there are tenants who forget to turn off their portable space heaters, both electrical and fuel-based, creating vulnerability to possible dangerous outcomes. And then, unfortunately, some tenants forget to turn off the stove before leaving their unit.
Children playing with fire are yet another obvious, yet quite common, source of dangerous problems. We all hear stories of kids playing with matches or a lighter, without fully comprehending the risks, which can lead to very serious accidents.
The most outlandish story that I have heard is of a tenant setting a cat on fire that ran around the apartment, creating a full-unit fire. Wow.
Clearly, the list of causes for tenant fires can go on and on, from the common causes to the more unconventional. And it seems most of these fires can or should be prevented, controlled, or managed better.
However, it has yet to be determined or made clear who exactly is responsible for these fires. It's hard to manage a fire (and the losses they cause) without determining who is culpable and pursuing actions to mitigate and prevent future instances.
With all of these fire drivers and losses, what are the landlords and their insurers to do? Stay tuned for Part Two with a proposed solution.

Beauty with a mission. Now in New Cross.
Our vision is to create a 21st century beauty salon: On-demand beauty services that are accessible and delivered by skilled, certified and insured therapists in homes, hotels and offices. The needs of the modern individual are changing, and we are adapting the delivery of our services to cater to the requirements of your busy schedule. More than that, we are providing a platform for beauty therapists to work on their own terms - choosing what treatments they do, when and where.
On-demand, at-home beauty is quite a new concept, but we've been working away at it for a few years now. We've worked hard to create a platform that connects skilled beauty therapists and busy customers successfully, and can't wait for you to try out LeSalon! Our Salonettes have the opportunity to continuously build and improve on their skills with our training and feedback sessions. We're not just an at-home beauty service though - we provide corporate packages too. We've visited over 100 offices around London, brightening up employee's days one mani-pedi at a time. Thousands of happy, more beautiful Londoners can't be wrong, and that makes us very proud. Find out more about our amazing Salonettes here.
There's so much more to LeSalon than at-home pedicure treatments. Being an at-home beauty service, sometimes understanding how a treatment, like a pedicure or waxing, will work can be confusing - take a look at our help page to get all of your answers. Communication is key - which is why we keep you informed every step of the way as our therapists travel directly to you. You'll get status updates, and can even live chat or call them. Through years of experience in every aspect of our business, we've built the perfect service for all your beauty needs. Did you know we offer packages and subscriptions? If you're a regular mani-pedi type of gal or need your monthly wax, we offer plenty of ways to save over time.

LeSalon in New Cross exceeds expectations, every time.
She is absolutely first class!
Thank you Vasia! Great service and v happy with ym nails :)
The therapist arrived ontime with professional equipments, and the treatment was done in right quality and good timing. However it would be better if the treatment itself could be done more carefully, as it seems the edge of the nail and the finishing were done in rough quality.
I didn't know what to expect but Alicia was great at explaining everything and took her time. Very enjoyable. Would happily book again✅
Thank you so much for a such nice and professional service! Always will use it!👍

Art Installations in Public Spaces
May – October 2019
A dot becomes a line, and the line turns into a surface. The students of the Peter Behrens School of Arts in Düsseldorf have taken the study of movement by Wassily Kandinsky, combined it with choreographies by William Forsythe and realised them three-dimensionally in the city's public domain. The project Passages Bauhaus – City invites visitors to the Bauhaus centenary celebrations to experience the route from the Bauhaus building to the main station and the Anhalt Theatre, and from there to the Bauhaus Museum Dessau, interactively.
The concept: a black ball begins to roll, becomes a controlled line, then a sound space in the main station. Walking becomes an ever-changing experience – between guiding lines, sliding doors and trampolines. The project plays with contrasts. Visually, the installations are in a uniform black and offer a surprising, diverse array of sensual impressions – in haptic, kinetic and acoustic ways. The project also plays on the atmospheres of urban spaces: wide-open spaces are bordered, round spaces crossed with lines, the horizontal is broken by jumping on a trampoline with high, upward movements. With this, the walk becomes a dynamic and sensual amusement for everyone, an invitation for play.

Barcelona are reportedly no longer leading the race to sign Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt.
Earlier this week, it was claimed that Barca had beaten Manchester United and Liverpool to the signature of the 19-year-old, who is one of the most in-demand youngsters in world football.
However, according to Sport, the Spanish champions have lost control of the pursuit with a number of European clubs in the hunt to sign the Netherlands international ahead of the 2019-2020 campaign.
De Ligt scored seven times and contributed four assists in 55 appearances for Ajax as Erik ten Hag's side landed a league and cup double during the 2018-19 season.
United are reportedly prepared to hand De Ligt a bigger salary than Barca, in addition to paying agent Mino Raiola a higher fee in order to land the teenager.
