At least 31 killed in US weekend mass shootings
Trump calls for instituting the death penalty for hate crimes
Trump said during his White House statement that he's "directing the Department of Justice to propose legislation ensuring that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the death penalty."
He added that capital punishment in these cases should be "delivered quickly, decisively, and without years of needless delay."
More context: Federal authorities are treating the El Paso mass shooting as a case of domestic terrorism, the US Attorney for the Western District of Texas said Sunday.
The Justice Department is also "seriously considering" bringing federal hate crime and federal firearm charges, which carry a possible death penalty, US Attorney John Bash said Sunday in a news conference.
Trump describes attacks as "domestic terrorism"
President Trump called the weekend shooting attacks "domestic terrorism," adding that he's called on the FBI to devote further resources to preventing further attacks.
He identified the internet and social media as areas for reform.
"We have asked the FBI to identify all further resources they need to investigate and disrupt hate crimes and domestic terrorism.
Whatever they need. We must recognize that the internet has provided a dangerous avenue to radicalized disturbed minds and perform demented acts," Trump said.
"We must shine a light on the dark recesses of the internet and stop mass murderers before they start," he continued.
President Trump cites "gruesome and grisly" video games in response to mass shootings
President Trump said video games that "celebrate violence" need to be addressed, while responding to two mass shootings that happened over the weekend.
He said "we must stop the glorification of violence in our society."
He continued: "This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace. It is too easy today for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence. We must stop or substantially reduce this and it has to begin immediately," Trump said.
Other Republican leaders also cited video games for the mass shootings.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Sunday on Fox News, "But the idea of these video games that dehumanize individuals to have a game of shooting individuals and others -- I've always felt that is a problem for future generations and others."
Trump has done this before: After the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, Trump signaled he believed violence in video games is partly to blame for real life violence and held a meeting between representatives from the video game industry and those who think games have made kids more violent in recent years.
Trump: The internet provides "a dangerous avenue to radicalize disturbed minds"
In the wake of the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, President Trump said the internet has "provided a dangerous avenue to radicalize disturbed minds and perform demented acts."
"We must shine light on the dark recesses of the internet and stop mass murders before they start."
He continued: "The internet, likewise, is used for human trafficking, illegal drug distribution and so many other heinous crimes. The perils of the internet and social media cannot be ignored and they will not be ignored."
Some background: Saturday's shooting in El Paso is at least the third atrocity this year where a suspect is believed to have posted to 8chan in advance of an attack.
8chan is an online messaging board that has been used by anonymous accounts to share extremist messages and cheer on mass shooters. It is rife with racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
Law enforcement officials in El Paso, Texas, confirmed on Saturday they were investigating a document posted on 8chan that they believe was written by Patrick Crusius, the shooting suspect. The four-page document posted online espouses white nationalist and racist views.
Trump condemns "racism, bigotry and white supremacy," but doesn't acknowledge his own rhetoric
President Trump called the gunman who killed 20 people in El Paso Texas a "wicked man" and urged the country to condemn white supremacy. He stopped short of acknowledging his own divisive and racist rhetoric.
"The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy."
Officials said the El Paso shooter may face hate crime charges after police found a racist, anti-immigrant document they believe was written by the 21-year-old white male suspect.
The four-page document posted online espouses white nationalist and racist views. It rails against immigrants and Hispanics, blaming immigrants and first-generation Americans for taking away jobs and for the blending of cultures in the US.
Mexican President calls for stricter gun laws in the US
Mexico's president is responding to the mass shooting in El Paso that killed both US and Mexican citizens.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said it is very probable Mexico will make a legal complaint against the shooter.
"I'll just say this, to liberate ourselves, to balance ourselves, we want a respectful relationship with the US government and to say that we lament the loss of human lives in that country. It hurts about our dead, but it also hurts the loss of lives of other nationalities," López Obrador said in a Monday press conference.
López Obrador said going forward, the country will continue to vouch for stricter gun laws in the US, while also saying they will not interfere with the country's affairs.
"We are very respectful of other countries decisions, but we think that this unfortunate event that are presented in the US, should be reflected on and analyzed in the decision to control the unvetted selling of gun. I say this will all respect," he continued. "It is not our intention to put ourselves in the external life of any country. But they should rethink this matter, because it affects a lot."
He continued: "That does not happen in our country. As well, in a very respectful matter, we could send information about our legislation and the proceedings that we follow on this matter to help, cooperate, in everything we can."
Some background: At least 20 people were killed and 26 more were injured on Saturday in a shooting at an El Paso Walmart. Federal authorities are treating the mass shooting as a case of domestic terrorism, the US Attorney for the Western District of Texas said Sunday.
Police say a racist, anti-immigrant document they believe was written by the 21-year-old white male suspect has a "nexus to a potential hate crime."
Trump will present preliminary policy ideas in remarks, official says
President Trump is expected to present preliminary policy ideas in his statement at 10 a.m. ET, according to a White House official.
Trump will read from prepared remarks from a Teleprompter that will last for several minutes, the official said.
The official said the two back-to-back shootings have felt like a "blow" to the White House given the magnitude of the tragedies, and everyone is taking this very seriously.
But the official downplayed the prospect of Trump toning down his rhetoric going forward, saying administration aides were surprised Democrats singled out the President's past language.
The Dayton bar near where the mass shooting happened will reopen today
The bar, in the nightlife district of Dayton, Ohio, near where a mass shooting took place Sunday, is reopening today.
A sign on the front door of Ned Peppers said it will open at normal time on Monday –– which is 11:00 a.m. ET, according to the bar's website. The sign also featured the message #DAYTONSTRONG.
After the shooter opened fire, he began walking in the direction of Ned Peppers when police responded. Nine people were killed.
Dayton Mayor: "I really don't understand why a gun of that magnitude is really needed"
Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley spoke to CNN on Monday morning as the community of Dayton begins to heal.
"I think our community is still in a state of shock, and sadness frankly," Whaley said.
Whaley was asked what she wants to hear from lawmakers both in Ohio and in DC.
Whaley responded:
"My job as mayor is to take care of my community, to bring my community together and make sure it has what it needs. What I want from Columbus and Washington DC, I want them to do their jobs as well. I don't think, and I've talked to our police officers here, this shooter had a gun that he got legally with magazines he got legally. I really don't understand why a gun of that magnitude is really needed on the streets of Fifth Street. You know, a gun that can kill nine people and injure 26 more in the course of 24 seconds while our officers have handguns and shotgun rifles to go back at it, " Whaley said.
"I think it begs the question, what are we doing," Whaley said.

When it comes to making money from the markets, are you a butterfly, cat, dog or tortoise?
Anyone who trades stocks or currency markets will take a particular approach – assuming they have any clue what they're doing, of course. We identify four main types of trader.
- Day Trader: the Butterfly
You flit in and out of trades, never spending long anywhere. You're constantly in motion. You're also delicate and vulnerable to being wiped out. Your close cousin, the moth, has a habit of being drawn to the light and getting burned. Either way, your lifespan tends to be short. There's a reason they're called day traders – many don't last much longer than that. (Ok, so it's really because they don't hold positions overnight, but still – around 90% of day traders lose money.)
- Swing Trader: The Cat
You're agile, fast, and you show little loyalty to anyone or anything so long as you can get a meal out of it. Your life consists of periods of inactivity followed by sudden movement. You might play dangerously from time to time, but you've got nine lives – assuming your risk control is any good.
- Position Trader: The Dog
You're a faithful companion who takes long-term positions. Once you've made your decision, you stay with it – maybe for years. You'll put up with a lot along the way, and you don't have a lot of time for the cats of the world (in all fairness, they can treat you with disdain too). Basically, you know a good thing when you see one and you'll stick with it.
- Buy and Hold: the Tortoise
You make a life out of doing as little as possible for decades at a time – maybe more. You take a position, then… that's it. Your whole existence is built on the idea of inertia, letting the world come to you and making absolutely minimal effort. You'll weather the ups and downs life throws at you, hiding away from it all if you need to for long periods of time. Your life is pretty uneventful, it has to be said, but it can also be remarkably successful – you're one of the longest-lived animals out there and you can grow big. Incidentally, that's why Warren Buffett looks like a tortoise.

Some babies will sleep like it ain't no thang. Others need to be held, while others still need the purr of an engine as their poor sleep-deprived parents drive around the neighbourhood so they can finally nod off.
Ford of Spain had a pretty clever idea for all those car-addicted sleepers and their parents: a cot called Max Motor Dreams that mimics the sensations of being in a car, complete with engine noise, gentle movement and a low glow akin to city streetlights. The cot is sleek in design, with wood panelling reminiscent of Ford's iconic station wagon, and it connects to an app that allows you to record the exact sounds of your vehicle for the built-in speakers to play back. We like where you're going with this, Ford.
Unfortunately, this newfangled baby bed isn't available for purchase in North America yet, but bleary-eyed parents can still fantasize about it. Check it out below.

Study links evening blue light exposure to increased hunger
Manipulation of light exposure may be a novel method of altering food intake and metabolismDARIEN, IL – A new study suggests that blue-enriched light exposure immediately before and during the evening meal may increase hunger and alter metabolism. Results show that blue-enriched light exposure, compared with dim light exposure, was associated with an increase in hunger that began 15 minutes after light onset and was still present almost two hours after the meal. Blue light exposure also decreased sleepiness and resulted in higher measures of insulin resistance. "It was very

'08 Toyota 4Runner aero mods = 14% better fuel economy!
This is my '08 Toyota 4Runner, a 4,800 pound SUV with 4.7L V8 and all-the-time 4 wheel drive (meaning you can't put it in 2wd mode). With that information you can probably assume that it get's pretty poor fuel economy - and you'd be correct. I average around 14mpg 50/50 highway/city. Yeah that is remarkably bad. But what really shocked me was that the highway milage isn't much better than city. About 15mpg in winter and 16mpg in summer (75mpg). Very bad!
In a few weeks I'm going to drive from my home in Eastern Kansas to Portland Oregon and back, so over 4,000 miles. So I decided to do some ecomodding to the aero dynamics to see if I could improve it's highway performance.
First thing I did was delete the mud flaps, running boards, and roof rack cross bars.
For the rear mud flaps, I cut off the plastic that was extending past the body with a box cutter. I unscrewed and removed the ones in the front, then I attached them to the rear wheel openings, now they're tire spats!
Then it was time to delete the "spoiler," if you can even call it that. It's only function is to direct air onto the back window to keep it clean. Seems to me that it's a big aero drag.
It was just two bolts, some clips, and one wiring connector. I covered the holes with some gaffing tape. Gaffing tape is like duck tape that is really easy to remove and doesn't leave a residue, so like a heavy duty masking tape. It sticks really weld, holds up strong, but doesn't make a mess.
I'll have to figure out a way to get back a third brake light, for safety reasons.
Back to the front end of the vehicle, I did a partial grill block with some more gaffing tap.
I don't know if the grill block is supposed to help with aero or only help with getting the engine warmer faster, but it helps and it was easy.
[continued in next post] :turtle:
Up until now, all the aero mods have been very easy.
But there's one very important mod that I had to make, not just for aero reasons, but for protection. It's the front skid plate - the vehicle came with one from the factory but it didn't have it when I bought it. Not only does it protect against rocks, sticks, sand, snow, etc. when off-roading, but I figure that it would also help tremendously with aerodynamics.
Here's what it looked like a few days ago:
Yeah that's a lot of dirty bits.
I could buy an aftermarket one, but I had just bought a MIG welder and a large amount of sheet metal and steel (for another project), so I figured I'd make it a project and build it myself.
First thing I did was make a scaffolding out of 1/8" steel.
Then I skinned it in 18 gauge sheet metal. This will not be thick enough to drag it along boulders, but it will protect agains sticks and snow and sand. Normal duty protection.
I make it sound easy, but it took all day Sunday to make. After the seam sealer and paint dried, I hung it up today.
There was still lot of exposed dirty bits under the truck, but I was too lazy to make more stuff out of steel. So I found a political add and got some more gaffing tape and did what I could.
[continued on next post] :turtle:
Now for the results!
Right before starting the first mods, I did some testing to get a base score. My primary goal is to improve MPG at 75mph, so that's what I tested at.
My procedure: I live right by an interstage highway with a gas station right at the exit, so I filled up at that gas station and reset the trip meter. Drove 7 miles west, exited and turned around and drove the 7 miles back. Then I filled up at the same gas station and recorded the gas used and miles driven. I used the cruise control to keep it at exactly 75mph.
For the base score, I recorded 13.9 miles and 0.93 gallons. Which is 14.9 mpg.
Today I did it again with all the mods performed (similar weather but not exactly the same of course, but nothing else changed to the vehicle like weight or tire pressure).
I got 13.8 miles, and 0.81 gallons. That's 17mpg.
14% better!!
Yes I realize that it I should have done the test like three times for trip A and trip B but, that would have taken all day.
So for my up coming road trip to Portland, I'll be driving around 4,400 miles. Using the https://www.fueleconomy.gov/trip/ tool, it says I'll save $70. Which is great and all but I didn't really do these mods to save money. I hate burning more fuel than necessary and I saw an opportunity to improve something and I went for it.
I'd be more than curious about the rear spoiler delete, who told you all it did was keep the rear window clean?
The gaffing tape I tried one didn't hold up to water very well (wet Michigan), lasted maybe a week on my truck. Foil tape lasted much longer but was a terrible look.
Nice work, thanks for posting.
Any plans for a full belly pan?
Spoiler Alert: Minivans and SUVs Could Become More Fuel Efficient
Spoiler Alert: Audi Patents a Sliding Wing to Improve Aerodynamics
I was thinking at least a clean sharp edge for the air to release from is a consideration, similar to the below.
Bizon Truck Cab Spoiler
Is there a reason not to slow down to 60? Surely that would be the simplest and by far most effective way to reduce fuel use.
Out of interest, what are the speed limits there? In Aus the highest is 110kmh or about 67mph except some roads in the Northern Territory where pretty much no one lives.
Following too closely is the worst (attended by the belief its is legal to travel in the passing lane; it isnt) as under 300 space isnt cause for concern (it should be) and at 50 many will travel for miles. Hell, days.
NEVER EVER allow ones self to be surrounded by other vehicles is the key. Ever heard the phrase, cant fix stupid? Thats the guy inside any crowd. For any length of time.
When the morons are trying to form up, cancel cruise and drift down about 10-mph. Its NEVER safe to have others around. Its reason to hit the brakes.
Firearms and drunk teenagers. Thats the EXACT risk analogy for trying to run at the upper limit. As nothing else in life has such life-changing consequences. An obese, alcoholic, chain-smoking desk dweeb will outlive the fools with firearms and bad driving.
Remember that at your funeral someone will tell the obese, alcoholic, chain-smoking desk dweeb that we are glad hes not as stupid as was the guy we are burying.
Traffic volume determines top travel speed. Which is almost never the actual limit.
That covers risk reduction. Spacing determines set speed, and is dependent on traffic volume. Always more than 300. At 700, relax.
Fuel economy is in steady-state cruise. Engage cruise control on the entrance ramp. Cancel it to drop off in speed when the fools gather around one (10-mph). Re-engage on a downslope where convenient. Its always turned on and in use until the end (except the few times when cancellation is best).
With no acceleration or braking events, and maybe passing two-three vehicles on a 600-mile or 12-hr day (the maximum daily distance) the choice of travel speed will be likely be near 65-mph or a little lower.
The needed information is in average mph. The actual time of the trip. From engine start to car parked at days end. Total miles divided by time. It wont be anywhere near travel set speed.
Thus the real trick to high average mph is
1). Location, number and length of stops.
2). Time of departure.
Lets do last first. Nationwide, traffic is lowest from 2300 to 1100. So start early. I start at around 0300. A good day for me in the Peterbilt is to have 500-miles done before noon. That happens only if everything goes well.
Planned stops. Always do this the night before. Zero unplanned stops. Its every two hours or roughly 100-miles. A quick exit to the restroom is fine if some walking is involved.
Every four hours is a one hour break. Let this coincide with the fuel stop and/or meals.
The successful day is in knocking out those two-hour or 100-mile legs. What comes before or after is irrelevant. Skill in vehicle-handling is dependent on alertness. Fine motor skills. Without breaks as above (scientific study) those skills fall away. (Which is also accident avoidance).
Make the plan. Use Exit numbers. Stop point in the same direction of travel. No crossing major metro areas late in day. Etc.
These breaks arent optional. Theyre built-in to the successful plan.
Again, average mph: the higher the travel set speed, the greater will be the divergence between travel set speed and average speed. And the worse the economy. (Its not all aero problems; its in compounding them).
And that steering wheel corrections per 100-miles traveled is a valid FE marker, obviously lane-changing works against one. The more so in having to brake or accelerate to maintain constant speed.
I get drivers all the time on the CB complaining about slow trucks in their way. It shuts them up EVERY TIME when theyre reminded their trip plan failed. Didnt leave early enough, either. You drive big trucks for a living and this becomes apparent right away. Every vehicle out there is constrained by safety (except in the pea brains of todays car drivers; it was never this way until under twenty years ago).
A 4,000-mile trip is barely over a week for me. I average above 10,000-miles per month. Hit 120k for the calendar year last week. Habits and preparation are everything. Ronnie Reagan was in the White House last time I had a traffic ticket.
The miles around ones metro area dont count towards anything. Its all familiar. False bravado ensues on cross-country trips. There are differences from every geographical locale and state.
Whats the real difference between running 62 or 72? The latter seems enjoyable because 90% of Americans report it as fully engaging. Any faster and the peripheral cone of vision narrows too far.
In other words, its work.
At 62 one arrives relaxed. Theres been no fight. Ones peripheral vision includes the scenery. Its what vacationing is about. At either speed its still the rhythm of from one set point to another.
Whats the time difference? Maybe the spread from 55 to 63-mph ON AVERAGE.
In other words, not worth the trouble to stay with the racing morons all day. I sincerely assure you thats what they are. ******* children who never had parents. No baby daddy cared enough. Im happy to tell father & son this, to their faces. Neither is father OR son.
The relation of guns to cars is that it only takes ONCE.
Talk of skill is a laughing matter. And irrelevant.
Also, keep it up and do what you feel is right for you! I know you've received some pretty strong comments and opinions here. But do what you can with what you have available and make it work. :)
Coroplast and zip ties work well. Rustoleum flat black paint works quite well and sticks to the coroplast. Or duct-tape covered cardboard painted black or use black duct tape. Worked well and handles the weather fine. Plus, as grins2go_brett said, you avoid dealing with residue issues from the tape on your car. Just a thought. :)
Michigan is a whole lot wetter than Arizona.
On the other side of the coin, gaffing tape in Michigan isn't going to have the UV degradation issues of Arizona.
I'm going to guess that Lawrence, Kansas is somewhere in between.
Thanks guys!
Yeah the gaffing tape will certainly see a lot of weather between Kansas and Portland. And it will be getting us around the Portland area for 4 or 5 days, and Portland got 3" of rain in 24 hours a few days ago. I'll keep a roll of duct tape with me just in case.
The reason why I measured at 75mph and not 60mph is because 75mph is the interstate speed limit in most states these days, and that will be the speed I will go. We're making it a 3 day trip, but even then those will be long long days. Slowing down to save on fuel will not be an option. But this is not a fast speed, these days, and I'm always passed by all the other drivers except the big rigs. Even at the speed limit, I seem to be the slowest car on the road.
But for much of the drive, other vehicle on the road won't really be a factor. There will be a lot of lone, lonesome stretches, especially in Kansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and East Oregon. I hear that I-80 will be mostly truckers (just what I've read, I've never been on that road). I-70 between Denver and the ski resorts will be insane, but I should hit that stretch on Saturday afternoon, well after the crazies have all raced to the slopes. I'm thinking about taking US-50 through Colorado on the way back but I'm not sure yet.
As per the comments about the "******* children who never had parents," that was quite a rant. Do you feel better now?
When my wife is driving, she'll likely go even faster. She drives about 90 on average on her daily commute to work. I'm always telling her to slow down but she has "small car syndrome" as I call it (Toyota Yaris). She hates when another car passes her, especially if it's a SUV or truck, she feels like it's a personal threat against her because her car is small. So she "defends" herself against the bigger vehicles by driving past them as quick as possible.

Are type 316L stainless steel coin cells stable in nonaqueous carbonate solutions containing NaPF6 or KPF6 salt?†
In this study, the suitability of type 316L stainless steel as coin cell components for nonaqueous sodium- and potassium-ion batteries is investigated. The passivation of type 316L stainless steel in nonaqueous carbonate solutions containing NaPF6 or KPF6 salt is examined using electrochemical dynamic polarization, transient polarization with in situ surface scratching, surface analysis using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The passivation layer formed on the surface of type 316L stainless steel after polarization is composed of metal fluorides (CrF3 and FeF3) and metal oxides (Cr2O3 and Fe2O3). In the presence of NaPF6, the type 316L stainless steel is well passivated without corrosion; however, selective dissolution of Fe2+ from the passive layer of the type 316L stainless steel occurs at a polarization potential of 4 V vs. K+/K, which could affect the reliability of experimental results when this material is used as coin cell components.

Who does adultery effect? First and foremost, it effects God. He sees all that we do. So when a husband or wife cheats on their mate, not only does he see the steps that lead to the adultery, but he sees the act itself. Next, the innocent mate is effected once they are told or find out about the actions of their unfaithful mate. If the couple has children, then they will be effected by this as well.
Both the families of the guilty mate and the innocent mate will no doubt be hurt. The congregation may become aware of what happened, and this can be damaging. Especially is this the case if the ones involved were viewed as exemplary in the congregation. Finally, in some instances (see WT 1991 11/15 p.22 par 15), even Non-Witnesses in the community may find out. This reflects poorly on the very first person who was effected by all of this...Jehovah.
So before committing any sin, it is vital to think about the ripple effect our actions will have on those around us. (Based on a recent C.O. talk) -Proverbs 22:3

The simple fact that Apple has not enabled notifications on a progressive web app as they do their own native apps is the proof the US Government will use to start to regulate the App Store as anti-competitive.

Let it Go: In this illustration a stone was left in the middle of a walking path. By: tie_bros_illustrationsBy Guest Indiana
Perhaps it was done by mistake. If so, what good would it do for the person who tripped over it to hold on to it? That person would only be weighing themself down, while the person who made the mistake lives on, blissfully unaware of the pain they accidentally caused. Perhaps it was done intentionally. Still, what good would it do for the person who tripped over it to hold on to it? If anything, holding on to it can lead that person to seek revenge and use the stone to beat the person who stumbled them. How much better it is to let go of resentment and move on. Easy? No. Worth it? Read Matthew 18:4-5 and Watchtower 1972 12/1 p.707-708.

Isaiah 64:8 "O Jehovah, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are our Potter." Romans 12:2 "stop being molded by this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, so that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Never would we want to give up being molded by Jehovah to be molded by Satan and his system. After watching Toy Story 4 and reading Romans 12:2 this idea came to mind. Sorry that it is a sadder ending than usual.

Before deciding to date it is important you pay close attention to the person you are interested in. How do they treat others? Are they spiritually mature? How do they handle money matters? How do they handle responsibility? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? There is never a reason to settle for less. We don't need to look for perfection, but when it is clear that they require a ton of assembly or when they don't have very important qualities or skills needed to make a marriage a success, we would be wise to hold off from pursing a courtship. Normally, when purchasing an item we do research to make sure we are getting the best quality. Why would we do any less when it comes to something as life changing and important as choosing a marriage mate. Also, if I am aware that I have a ton of assembly required and lack in many areas of life, why not work on those things first before trying to date. If we really like someone we should want them to have the best, right? "Patience is the key". (See YPA Vol 2 Chapter 1)

The Scripture in Hebrews 5:14 is quite familiar to us; that mature people have their perceptive powers trained through "use". This implies constant attention to staying active with the spiritual tools and talents available to each of us. But what happens when we slow down in the application of spiritual principles and guidelines in our lives, or become lazy and unproductive?
A Spanish philosopher tells about the Roman aqueduct at Segovia, in his native Spain. It was built in 109 A.D. For eighteen hundred years, it carried cool water from the mountains to the hot and thirsty city. Nearly sixty generations of men drank from its flow.
Then came the present generation. One man said, "This aqueduct is so great a marvel that it ought to be preserved for our children as a museum piece. We shall relieve it of its centuries-long labour."
They did. They laid modern iron pipes. They gave the ancient bricks and mortar a reverent rest. And the aqueduct began to fall apart. The sun beating on the dry mortar caused it to crumble. The bricks and stone sagged and threatened to fall. What ages of service could not destroy, idleness disintegrated.
Here's another story:
The great violinist, Nicolo Paganini, willed his marvellous violin to Genoa, the city of his birth, but only on condition that the instrument never be played. It was an unfortunate condition, for it is a peculiarity of wood that as long as it is used and handled, it shows little wear. As soon as it is discarded, it begins to decay.
The exquisite, mellow-toned violin has become worm-eaten in its beautiful case, valueless except as a relic. The mouldering instrument is a reminder that a life withdrawn from all service to others loses its meaning.
Good reasons then, to carefully consider the necessary actions listed in 2 Peter 1:5-8 that when applied, will "prevent (us) from being either inactive or unfruitful regarding he accurate knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

It is half past ten on Saturday night. I just came back from a walk in the clouds of snow! The first flakes landed yesterday and kept the scenery white for a few hours, and then started to melt. We thought this would be as usual our one-day scenario. Yet it started to snow again late last night.
Apart from a few hours break around noon, it did not stop snowing, laying a beautiful white carpet on the whole country. A great opportunity for a walk in the park nearby our house! The lake was almost completely frozen and a few ducks were gathered on the small sheltered area where cold would not bite. Just a handful of people had decided to walk around the lake. The trail was nearly immaculate as the footprints were quickly covered. Each step made the characteristically crispy sound of compacted snow. Night's darkness seemed to be kept at a distance as the white decor reflected every bit of light. The branches of the trees were as if dressed with delicate lace. As the intensity of the snow fall increased, my sight got blurred. The details of the landscape faded as millions of cottonlike crystals floated their way down to earth. I couldn't help but stop, sit down on a bench and admire the spectacle.
Had it been one degree warmer, it would have rained; one degree cooler, it would only have been cold and humid. The temperature was just right for this phenomenon called snow to occur.
Jehovah is creating the circumstances that are just right for his purpose to be accomplished. Millions of people are now covering the earth with their Bible-based message reflecting divine glory and shining in this spiritually bedarkened world. Every single of these proclaimers is unique and beautiful, just like a snowflake. If they were by themselves, snowflakes would immediately melt, yet because of their united action, they hold firm together. The effect of this united work of doing God's will accomplished by this cloud of witnesses beautifies formerly spiritually dead-looking people and clothes them with a white attire, an approved standing in Jehovah's eyes. How refreshing their sounding out the Good News is! How beautiful the view of these faithful servants of the only true God! Let us make sure never to be blind to the beauty of Jehovah's purpose and the way it unfolds.
Let us have a share in beautifying those in need of the Good News in our territory.

I was watching some little kids play soccer. These kids were only five or six years old, but they were playing a real game - a serious game - two teams, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents. I didn't know any of them, so I was able to enjoy the game without the distraction of being anxious about winning or losing - I only wished the parents and coaches could have done the same. The teams were pretty evenly matched. I will just call them Team One and Team Two.
Nobody scored in the first period. The kids were hilarious. They were clumsy and terribly inefficient, as only children can be. 🙂 They fell over their own feet, they stumbled over the ball, they kicked at the ball and missed it, but they didn't seem to care they were having fun!
In the second period, the Team One coach, pulled out what must have been his first team players and put in the scrubs; with the exception of his best player, who he left at goalie. The game took a dramatic turn. I guess winning is important even when you are five years old, because the Team Two coach left his best players in; the Team One scrubs were just no match for them.
Team Two swarmed around the little guy at goalie. He was an outstanding athlete for five, but he was no match for three or four who were equally as good. Team Two began to score. The lone goalie gave it his all. Recklessly throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying valiantly to stop them.
Team Two scored two quick points in succession. It infuriated the young boy. He became a raging maniac - shouting, running, and diving. With all the stamina he could muster, he finally was able to cover one of the boys as he approached the goal. But, that boy kicked the ball to another boy twenty feet away, and by the time the young goalie repositioned himself, it was too late.
They scored a third goal. I soon learned who the goalie's parents were. They were nice, decentlooking people. I could tell that his dad had just come from the office, tie and all. They yelled encouragement to their son. I became totally absorbed, watching the boy on the field, and his parents on the sideline. After the third goal, the little kid changed.
He could see it was no use; he couldn't stop them. He didn't quit, but he became quietly desperate - futility was written all over his face. His father changed too. He had been urging his son to try harder - yelling advice and encouragement. But then he changed; he became anxious. He tried to say that it was okay to hang in there. He grieved for the pain his son was feeling.
After the fourth goal, I knew what was going to happen. I've seen it before. The little boy needed help so badly, and there was no help to be had. He retrieved the ball from the net and handed it to the referee - and then he cried. He just stood there while huge tears rolled down both cheeks. He went to his knees, I saw his father start onto the field.
His wife clutched his wrist and said, "Jim, don't. You'll embarrass him." But, he tore loose from her and ran onto the field. He wasn't supposed to for the game was still in progress. Suit, tie, dress shoes, and all - he charged onto the field and he picked up his son so everybody would know that this was his boy. And he hugged him and kissed him and cried with him. I have never been so proud of any man in my life. He carried him off the field, and when they got close to the sidelines I heard him say, "Scotty, I'm so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my son."
"Daddy," the boy sobbed, "I couldn't stop them. I tried, Daddy, I tried and tried and they scored on me." "Scotty, it doesn't matter how many times they score on you. You're my son, and I'm proud of you. I want you to go back out there and finish the game. I know you want to quit, but you can't. And son, you're going to get scored on again, but it doesn't matter. Go on, now."It made a difference - I could tell it did. When you're all alone, and you're getting scored on - and you can't stop them - it means a lot to know that it doesn't matter to those who love you. The little guy ran back on to the field, and they scored two more times; but it was okay.
I get scored on every day. I try so hard. I recklessly throw my body in every direction. I fume and rage. I struggle with temptation and sin with every ounce of my being - and Satan laughs. And he scores again, and the tears come, and I go to my knees; sinful, convicted, helpless.
Then my Father rushes right out on the field - right in front of the whole crowd - the whole jeering laughing world, and he picks me up. And he hugs me, and he says, "I am so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my child.

If you put a buzzard in a pen six or eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of his ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten or twelve feet. Without space to run, as is his habit, he will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash. A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself. In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat, and the bee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
The Psalmist said, "I shall raise my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come? My help is from Jehovah (Ps 121:1, 2) Our best source of help is just above us, but we need to look up and ask.

This is a true story about a little girl. There was a fire in her building in Harlem. She was up on the fourth floor at a window and the firemen couldn't get to her, so they spread out nets, and they were yelling for her to jump, but she would not listen to them. It turns out she was blind and couldn't see the net and was afraid to jump. When her father got there he called out to her to jump. Hearing her Dad's voice, she jumped and was totally relaxed. So relaxed that she not only didn't break a bone but also didn't even strain a muscle. We can compare this illustration to our relationship with our heavenly Father. We should have complete and total trust in Jehovah's instructions and just do them.

A little shepherd boy was watching his sheep one Sunday morning. As he heard the bells ringing the faithful to church, he watched the people walking along the lane next to the pasture. He began to think that he, too, would like to communicate with God. "But what can I say?" he thought. He had never learned a prayer.
So on bended knee, he began to recite the alphabet - A, B, C, D, and so on to Z, repeating his "prayer" several times.
A man passing by heard the boy's voice, and stopping to look through the bushes, saw the child kneeling with folded hands and closed eyes, saying, "J, K, L, M, ..."
He interrupted the boy, asking, "What are you doing, my little friend?" The boy replied, "I was praying, sir."
Surprised, the man said, "But why are you reciting the alphabet?"
The child explained, "I don't know any prayers, sir. But I want God to take care of me and help me to care for the sheep. So, I thought if I said all I knew, He could put the letters together and spell all that I want to say and should say."
The man smiled and said, "Bless your heart. You're right - God will!"
Remember that Jesus told us to have faith like a child. When you go to God in prayer, don't worry if you don't know what to say. He can put your thoughts and feelings together and send you the answer you need, even when you don't know what you need.

Ephesians 4:22, 23: "That you should put away the old personality which conforms to your former course of conduct and which is being corrupted according to his deceptive desires; but that you should be made new in the force actuating your mind."
The verb, "put away"-- in the original Greek language is called the aorist tense. It indicates an action that is taken just once or once and for all. So it must be decisively (conclusively settled) stripped off.
To help you get the sense of this lets illustrate:
When one gives you advise on how to renovate your house, an antique, or a piece of old furniture, the worst words you can hear to solve the problem is: "The only thing you can do to make it right is to strip off the paint."
Why are these hated words? Well, have you ever used paint stripper? Do you know anyone who has ever told you that they like to strip ANYTHING? No one likes it. You get it on you. It burns. Splashes on your face or gets under the glove that you are using.. gooey, slippery, sludge. So why do we do it? Why do we subject ourselves to such torture? Because it is a necessity; there is no other alternative. It is the best solution. Why?
If it is not stripped completely you risk the new coating delaminating or peeling.
We have to do the same with our old personality. If we don't get it off completely, it will eventually cause our spirituality to delaminate. It is because, the old personality "is being corrupted" as the 'b' section of Eph. 4:22 indicates. Yes, the old personality is in a continuous course of moral degradation going from bad to worse, leading to defilement and death. So you have to get it off, like clothing that has the smell of a skunk!!!!! Get it off!!! Would you keep your socks on? No, we take everything off the first chance we get.

Think of a vintage vehicle that sits gleaming in a showroom or museum. Imagine the attention to detail, the thousands of hours spent in restoring it to its present condition, perhaps because someone saw it rusting away under a tree and could see its potential.
Or perhaps it is a beautiful piece of antique furniture, or a building such as the Stanley Theatre. In the latter case, Jehovah's people saw its potential, and spent many hours on its restoration.
Now, if people can do that for material things, are we prepared to put that amount of time and effort into our own spirit, to create a refined, self-sacrificing attitude in ourselves?

Once there was a man who worked for a construction company. He always tried to do exactly what his employer wanted. He arrived for work on time, and never took 'extended' morning tea or lunch breaks. One day after his morning break he got up and started work, picking up a large piece of timber to take to the worksite.
Some of the workers completely ignored him.
Some of the others started to give him a hard time.
Some said, "Take it easy, come back here and sit with us. You don't need to do that now."
Others shouted, "That's no way to carry a piece of timber by yourself, you need to balance it better!"
Others thought he was just trying to impress the boss, and trying to make them look bad.
Our Pioneers, Ministerial Servants and Elders and others are trying to do what our employer, Jehovah God wants.We can ignore, discourage, criticise, or impute wrong motives. Or we can get up, reach out and help them carry the load.

Female Cowbird
Hello, We recently dedicated our remodeled Kingdom Hall here in Los Angeles , and our guest speaker was Bro. Javier Hernandez from Brooklyn Bethel. Bro. Hernandez did a program in English and Spanish, which was outstanding. Then on Sunday he gave our Public Talk and then a service talk entitled "Imitate Their Faith." It highlighted the hard work of the governing body, and why we should imitate their example. Bro. Hernandez is very knowledgeable of the Governing Body, because he serves as Bro. Herd's personal secretary.
I have to relate the wonderful illustration he gave of the lazy cowbird. It is so good. Bro. Hernandez grew up in West Texas , and often saw cowbirds. These birds spend most of their time on the backs of cows eating parasites. When they spot a bird building a nest they will wait for the bird to leave and then go and lay their eggs in someone else's nest. The cowbird is lazy, so it goes back to the cow. The unsuspecting bird doesn't notice the extra eggs, and when they hatch, she begins flying off to feed them. This tires her out so that when her own eggs hatch she is too weak to feed them, and her babies end up dying.
speckled cowbird egg
Today Satan is like the cowbird. He watches us and then tries to drop eggs into our nest. They may be work, school, entertainment, recreation, or whatever, and we begin to take more care of Satan's eggs than our own spiritual needs. If we are not careful, our spirituality will die because we are too busy feeding Satan's eggs. So watch out for those deadly eggs and get them out of your nest!
What a simple practical real life illustration! Maybe you have heard it before but it was so good I had to share. Bro.Hernandez also repeatedly said we are living in the last seconds of the last days. No doubt working closely with the Governing Body, that phrase is common. It's a good reminder of our need to get and be ready.
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
Ps.I added the pictures for you.....

What is your opinion?. Is it rats?
If a mousetrap is introduced into a mouse's environment, it will go right over to it, take the bait, and its family will jump on it too in an effort to get it loose and perhaps all will get stuck.
A rat, however, will ignore everything new in its environment until it gets used to it, and only then it will go investigate it. So to catch a rat, a trapper leaves the trap, then when the rat is used to it he baits it. By introducing the bait (something new) into its environment causes the rat to ignore it all over again, until he gets used to it.
Then the trapper sets the trap and, after waiting for the rat to "acclimatize" he catches the rat.
The point is that Satan is catching people with this method today, by getting us used to an environment that is very bad, little by little--acclimatizing us to it so we get to thinking that what's in our environment (bad entertainment, immorality, etc.) is normal, and then! He has us.
Think ? Then reflect on what we considered bad entertainment 20 or more years ago...
Reminds me of the illustration in Sunday's Watchtower (4/15/12), Maintain a Complete Heart Towards Jehovah:
Imagine that you are reading a book by the light of a 100-watt bulb, but then the bulb fails. Since you are left in the dark, you immediately notice what happened and replace the burned-out bulb with a new one. Light fills the room again. The next evening, you are reading with the help of the same lamp. However, unbeknownst to you, someone replaced the new 100-watt bulb with a 95-watt bulb. Would you notice the difference? Probably not. Andwhat if the next day someone put a 90-watt bulb in your lamp? Likely, you would still not notice it. Why not? The lamp's light is diminishing so gradually that you are not aware of it. Similarly, the influences of Satan's world may cause our zeal to diminish little by little. If that happens, it is as if Satan succeeded in reducing 100-watt heartfelt zeal for Jehovah's service to something less. If not alert, a Christian may not even notice the gradual change. —Matt. 24:42; 1 Pet. 5:8.

"Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots ?
Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil " Jeremiah 13:23
You've no doubt read the old fable about the scorpion and the frog.
It illustrates how man's nature is much more devious and controlling than is his logic.
The fable says how,...
" One day a scorpion arrived at the bank of a river he wanted to cross, but there was no bridge.
He asked a frog that was sitting nearby if he would take him across the river on his back.
The frog refused and said,... " I will not, because you will sting me "
The scorpion replied,..." It would be foolish for me to sting you because then we would both drown "
The frog saw the logic in the scorpion's words, and agreed to carry the scorpion across.
But when they were halfway across the river the scorpion stung the frog.
The stunned frog asked,..." Why did you sting me, now we will both die ! "
The scorpion replied,... " Because I'm a scorpion … and that's what scorpions do "
Sad to say some people today are more concerned about being " politically correct " than they are about being " Biblically correct ",...
They change the name of sins to justify people's sinful behavior.
They do this because they are more concerned about the approval of man than they are about the approval of Jehovah God.
To Jehovah God, sin—all sin—is sin by whatever name we call it, and all sin is ultimately self-destructive regardless of how we seek to justify it.
Furthermore, God's Word reminds us that no matter how good, how noble, how educated, how refined, or how sophisticated we may be, we are all sinners.
Romans 3:23
Like the leopard that cannot change its spots neither can we change our nature.
We are not sinners because we sin, but rather, we sin because we are sinners.
That's our nature and that's why we need Jehovah God's salvation to save us from the eternal consequences of our sin—which is eternal separation from Jehovah God for all eternity.

Run, Idiot, Run
Br. Jackson of the governing body concluding a talk @ LA District Convention had this neat illustration at the very end of the convention.
He said "What if you were watching a football game on TV & it was the Trojans against the Fighting Irish...& it's been a good game...and it's coming down to the last seconds and the Trojans get the ball (then he stands like a football player) and then he starts running (and he picks up his foot like he's going to take off) and you're glued to the TV-just waiting to see what will happen...and he makes it to the 30 then the 20 then the 10 yard line and he's at the one inch line...and he ..stops!
THE GUY WITH THE BALL STOPS!!! ..and he starts looking around for the game clock..and he yells, "how much time do I have left?"
And you are staring at the TV in disbelief!!! What do you do?
You yell at the TV -Run, Idiot!!!, Run!!!
...(Bro Jackson is yelling this from the stage) it was so hysterical- then he stops and says ...
That's where you are...This system is dying.
We're the event that the universe is watching.
We are at the one inch line ..and some are stopping and looking around and wondering where we are in the stream of time.

Dear Friends,
Our little ones have a way.
thought this was cute.
A circuit overseer went out in service with a 7 year old boy, they went door to door. The brother asked the boy "are you ready with your door message?" The boy answered "of course I am always ready".
The boy went to the first door, knocked, and the person answered it was a man. The boy asked, "Sir do you know Superman's secret Identity...what his name is?" The man answered "of course it's Clark kent".
The CO did not know where to look, he was about to stop the 7 year old, when the boy asked "Well do you Know Gods name?"
"Of course" answered the man "Jesus".
"TSK Tsk Tsk" the boy said as he shook his head!!!
"Mister you mean to tell me you know a fictional persons name and even his secret Identity and you don't know Gods name who is real".
"But I do" answered the man "I said Jesus".
TSK TSK TSK said the boy .Good thing I came to teach you today the boy said.
The boy proceeded to turn to scripture after scripture proving Jehovah's name to the man.The man said "come in show me more".
When they finished the CO said nothing.
They went to the next door it was the CO turn he said to the home owner "Hi, do you know the name of Superman's secret Identity?

A house of "Confidence" that is...
What is the first thing on a house that gets destroyed in a storm? The roof. Now let's build our house, a house of Confidence, the foundation is the Christ. What are the four walls? 1st wall is Prayer. 2nd wall is Personal Study. 3rd wall is Daily Bible Reading. 4th wall is Field Service. Now let's put on the roof. The roof is our Meeting Attendance. Now that we've built our house of Confidence, here comes the storms, storms of persecution as varied as can be. Unfortunately, the first thing to go during these storms is our meeting attendance, then once that roof is gone, then one by one our "walls" start collapsing around us, and eventually our foundation, Christ is no longer a solid basis for our house of "Confidence." How did this all happen, by not protecting our roof, our Meeting Attendance. Guard it! Cherish it! Do not neglect it!

When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast.
And I'll never forget what he said: "Baby, I love burned toast."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!"
You know, life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook. What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
Learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker! We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!
"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."

tie_bros(REPOST) Covering Sin: Psalms 32:3-5 David tells us that when he hid his sin he felt miserable. However, once he confessed his sins to Jehovah he felt relief. Though it may be embarrassing, confessing our sins and asking for forgiveness will give us peace of mind and help us to remain close to Jehovah.

Isaiah 5:20 applies greatly to today's world. Should Halloween be considered to be good or bad?
Consider just a small part of Halloween's origin: "The American Halloween tradition of "trick-or-treating" probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day parades in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives. The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. The practice, which was referred to as "going a-souling" was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money... "The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago...on Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter."
