Gold Is Not a Growth Industry—It Can Just Pay Investors Big
John Hathaway is the senior managing director of Tocqueville Asset Management, where he manages all gold equity products and strategies. In an exclusive interview with The Gold Report, he shares why he is and will remain bullish on gold, the advice he most often gives mining companies and the investing advice that has stayed with him for almost 50 years.
Companies mentioned: AGNICO-EAGLE MINES LTD. – ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LTD. – INTERNATIONAL TOWER HILL MINES LTD. – NEWMONT MINING CORP. – OSISKO MINING CORP.
The Gold Report: When we spoke last October, you were bullish on gold and gold equities. You blamed lagging gold‐mining stock performance on competition from exchange‐traded funds (ETF), lack of investor confidence and investor doubts on the sustainability of higher gold prices. Now that prices are hovering around $1,600 an ounce (oz), will that dynamic change?
John Hathaway: The dynamic will change based on higher gold prices. When one looks at Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM:NYSE), which is trading at about five times cash flow, one has to scratch one's head and say, in a world of $1,600/oz gold, what is that discounting? The market expects gold prices to go lower. Otherwise, at $1,600/oz gold, a Newmont could trade at least at an eight or nine times multiple of cash flow.
I'm using that as an example. Looking at the research material on Newmont—we included input from 29 sell‐side analysts—the consensus expectation for gold prices in five years is $1,270/oz.
That is just one example that not even $1,600/oz is considered to be a sustainable gold price.
But it is sustainable. Up to $2,000/oz is sustainable. It's something that we can get to. The monetary debasement that we're in the midst of is ongoing. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Feb. 29 that there won't be any more quantitative easing (QE). The Fed's minutes reiterated that about a month later. Both times gold took a hit, but it didn't go to new lows, which I thought was pretty interesting. Because for the average person, the narrative for the last two years has been all about QE.
TGR: So if there is no QE, what takes it to $2,000/oz?
JH: Gold was going up before QE was even a term in the English language. Gold went from somewhere around $300/oz to $800/oz before we had QE. The thing that drives gold is not dramatic—it's not like a new round of QE and it's not geopolitical; it's the fact that real interest rates are negative right now, close to 3%. So, if you have money that's saved up and you want to put it in a bank or want to put it in treasuries, you're losing about 3% a year. And you have to think about something else.
You could consider a lot of options. Gold is certainly on that list. Last summer, when gold got to $1,900/oz, the story was overcooked. The press was hyperventilating about the government shutdown over the debt ceiling and the downgrade of the U.S. debt rating.
We've gone from that situation, where it was basically boiling over, back to a simmer. The stove is still on. Real rates are still negative—with the promise of more of that. I can speculate as well as the next guy can on what's going to be the next thing, and it may be QE. QE could come about simply because the Fed has been buying 61% of all new treasury issuance for the last year. If it goes away, as Bernanke says it will at the end of June, what's going to happen to short‐term rates? What's the market going to demand if the Fed's not there buying treasuries?
China's buying a little bit, but it's way down from what it used to buy. In theory, we've got the two biggest supporters of the treasury market, and the principal reason for low interest rates, not being around in a big way after June 30.
TGR: China has been a hot topic: Whether it's growing. . .whether it's shrinking. . .just not growing as fast. What impact can China, India, Russia and Europe have on the price of gold?
JH: Certainly, financial repression is not uniquely American. The Indians see it. The Chinese have it. So, yeah, there's definitely a non‐U.S. bid for gold. It's not based on what's happening on the Comex. It's based on the fact that liquid capital cannot get a decent return.
If interest rates went to 5%, which would be a decent return in a world with 3% inflation, that would add in the U.S. $800 billion (B) to the budget deficit. So whatever fiscal rectitude we might be able to gather would be a drop in the bucket compared to another $800B. That would take our annual deficit to well over $2 trillion every year. It's hard to imagine that. I don't have any answers—I just know that this simple arithmetic doesn't show any path out, other than some kind of money printing.
TGR: I know it's hard to predict dates, but Dec. 31 could be an important date, because tax cuts are going to expire and there will be cuts at the Pentagon and there will be debt ceiling issues. Do you see a lot of hand‐wringing leading up to Dec. 31, similar to last summer?
JH: Whoever gets elected in November is going to be on the hot seat. There will be fiscal drag in spades when the tax cuts expire.
TGR: We talked about companies being profitable at $1,600/oz gold. High energy prices have taken a toll on mining company performance. How many companies can be profitable at these current prices?
JH: At $1,600/oz gold, most existing mines are very profitable. Any company that has a producing mine that's out of the startup stage, where all the money has been spent, is gushing cash flow at $1,600/oz gold.
You'd have to go case by case for the new mines that they're building. But there are some new mines that are on the drawing board that require $1,600/oz gold or more to be profitable. The return on capital is likely to be less than anything that's in existence. The market sees that and that's a reason the gold stocks have been penalized, because in order to regenerate what they have, they may not be as profitable as they are right now.
TGR: So the lagging share price would be because they're forward looking?
JH: That's a possibility. When a Newmont says that it's going to add 40% to the current production base, you know that that's a big capital expenditure (capex). I talked to AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (AU:NYSE; ANG:JSE; AGG:ASX; AGD:LSE) the other day. Last year it generated $800 million (M) of cash flow, which is pretty good. I think the market cap is around $13B. This year it's spending $2.2B and it'll eke out some free cash, according to what it's saying right now. That's still pretty good. Here's a market cap of $13B and the equivalent of about 20% of that is cash flow. What's the presumed return? I know what AngloGold's projects are. They're by and large going to be good projects.
But that's the issue that the mining industry faces—and maybe a reason for the trepidation—is about the possible blowout in capex. So you have to go on a case‐by‐case basis and see which companies actually have projects where most of the costs are already dialed in. There are others that are further out in terms of permitting and ordering the long lead‐time items—pouring concrete and all that stuff—that might not be producing for five, six, seven years. There you have an issue.
One thing I've been saying to most of these companies is they don't need to grow. They just need to maintain what they have. The market won't mind that, as long as they pay it back in dividends.
TGR: Is paying a dividend a big plus in your stock‐picking scorecard?
JH: Absolutely.
TGR: Do you see more companies moving toward that?
JH: Yes. They should be paying out more and more. At the current gold price, the payout ratio among large producers is less than 20%. It's way too low. One reason it's too low is because mining companies think they have to build all these new projects. But they don't. Their stocks would probably double if they said, "We're just going to maintain steady‐state production and declare a dividend of X amount."
But these guys don't think that way because they want to build big mines with shiny new trucks and they want to send their exploration guys out to all corners of the earth. That's their modus operandi. So it's going to take time for the industry to change. The more enlightened management will start to look more and more at restricting capex.
It's not a growth industry. It's a capital‐intensive business that's fraught with risk. Why not just take a time‐out, generate cash for the next five years and pick spots? They have to build new mines to replace what they have, but they don't have to build so many new mines. If you take the 11 largest gold stocks, gold producers, which account for something like 40% of global production, and you go from 2008 to now, there's been no growth at all in production. They're producing the same ounces that they were producing then. These guys are crazy if they think they can grow. Consider the scale of these big mines and then the risks that the mining companies undertake with government intervention at the host‐country level, excess profits tax and you name it—obstacles come in many forms, many disguises. There's going to be a huge headwind.
TGR: Is acquisition the better way to go, instead of exploration?
JH: Yes. There have been takeovers every year. That's something companies could do. But they can't overpay. Newmont paid way too much for Miramar because it's the frozen north and that mine just isn't going to get built. Newmont has better opportunities. So, acquisitions are fine, but companies have to do a better job of it.
TGR: Some countries are a bit more difficult to do business in than others. What's your take on risk versus opportunity, and what countries do you favor or stay away from?
JH: We do not invest in China or Russia. Rule of law is the first thing that we look at. But every country has issues, even the U.S. It's a very localized business. You have to ask which state in Argentina is the mine located, for example. Which part of Mexico is the mining company dealing with? You have to generalize about countries, and we do that, but once you've done that, you have to ask about specific locations.
But my general rule of thumb is that local governments will try to hold companies up because they see a gold price of $1,600/oz. Companies have bull's‐eyes on their backs. It's cold extortion. "Resource nationalism" is the polite term. It's a way of life; it's nothing new. And so the differences are in how these companies deal with it. It obviously affects margins and profitability.
The game is worth it if the company has a good asset; if the gold price is going to do as we expect it to in a world of monetary debasement; and if the country has good geology, a mining culture and some infrastructure. So, for me, the only countries that are off‐limits are Russia and China. Also, probably Bolivia, Venezuela and Pakistan. We also look for countries that have a bad temporary rap, as Indonesia does right now. It has just passed a mining law that basically takes some of the equity 10 years out. But then, if the stock discounts all of that, and the company gets enough of a reflection of the obvious problems and it still has a good asset and a decent team of people, then we'll look at something like that.
TGR: You hold about 10% in physical gold; 40% in the larger cap companies, with some royalty companies; 30% in near or small producers and the rest in the juniors. Are you adjusting your portfolio after some of the declines recently?
JH: We've taken a little money out of the ones that are very fully valued. When something likeAgnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE) gets beaten up, then we'll look at that as a buy.
We typically have a low turnover; we're not very active in trading. Our basic mix hasn't changed. And we wouldn't change it dramatically because the thing that's given us excess return over the years has been the fact that our average market cap is smaller than that of our peers, at 60% of our peer group, which tells you we're skewed to smaller cap size. Those companies are the ones that cangrow. They're the ones where discoveries can make an impact on the valuation of the whole market cap. So, if you don't have those, then you might as well just own Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX:NYSE.A). You might as well just own the ETF of big‐cap stocks. And we try to do better than that.
But we always keep our eyes on companies, and if the story changes or if there's a valuation question, we'll look to see if we can deploy it in a better way.
TGR: A number of companies have mentioned you as a key piece of the junior mine‐building process. How do you decide which companies to participate in, and what are some examples of when you've really been able to make a difference in a company?
JH: Osisko Mining Corp. (OSK:TSX) is the best example; we were an early supporter of Sean Roosen. This goes back five years or so. He had an interesting thesis that most of the mines in Quebec were very deep because people were chasing grade to great depths. Roosen said they missed all the stuff on the surface. It is much lower grade, but as the gold price went up, what was considered to be not worth mining had become economic.
We backed Osisko early on. And then we backed it in several subsequent financing rounds. The miracle of that stock is that Roosen financed a huge capital expenditure through the meltdown in 2008. I would never want to do that again. The result is that here's a company with a new mine—it just started producing about a year ago. It has the usual startup issues, but they're not fatal. And we figure that at these gold prices, Osisko's going to generate a lot of cash flow, maybe $600M a year. This is a company that had a market cap five years ago of probably less than a $100M.
TGR: That is dramatic. And you supported him based on the fact that he had an interesting idea.
JH: And also because every step of the way he had a credible way to deal with whatever came up. And there was always something coming up. He had to move a town. He had big financing problems, as all these companies do when the markets dry up. But he met the challenges very believably.
We do hold investments in some companies that we think are good assets, but we're disappointed in the management. That's better than having bad management and no assets, but it's not ideal. And we make our displeasure known.
TGR: So you're active investors.
JH: We're very vocal backseat drivers. We see these guys all the time, in all these conferences that we go to and mining trips we take. We're in constant contact. They know who we are. They know where to come for the money, but they know it's not a free ride.
TGR: Any other examples you want to give of how you were an active backseat investor?
JH: International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (ITH:TSX; THM:NYSE.A) has been very frustrating recently. But I've been through it before. The stock has been very disappointing lately, but when I see a good asset like that, it's worth sticking with. We'll get it right. Not on a timing that will make everybody happy, but we'll get it right. And we view it as a partnering. We're vocal shareholders, but we never want to seem abrasive or hostile. Basically, everybody's got an interest in making the thing work.
We've been a long‐time investor in International Tower Hill. The market is scared right now because there's a big capital expenditure program. But we've financed the company in several rounds. Before there wasn't more than just a couple million ounces there and today the company claims it could have as much as 20 million ounces in various categories. And it's in Alaska. So when you read all these terrible headlines about Mali and Indonesia, Alaska sounds pretty darn good. Alaska's got infrastructure. International Tower Hill is in a mining‐friendly jurisdiction, near Fairbanks. There's every reason in the world it would want to get this thing permitted and built. I think it will. We just have to figure out how to get from here to there.
TGR: What was the best investing advice you ever received—whether you took it or not—or the best investing advice you ever gave?
JH: I had a finance professor at the University of Virginia in business school, before it was called Darden, back in the 1960s. He was a very conservative guy: He wore both a belt and suspenders—he had backup systems. He said something that I've never forgotten: "To be successful in investing, there's only one thing you need to know. You have to know when to sell." Is that ever true. The most successful investors are the ones who know when to sell. And you only know when that is with 20–20 hindsight. I look back and say, "Should we have sold this stock or that stock, when gold was $1,900/oz and the pot was boiling?" But then I remember that I'm such a bull on gold. Even though this seems like a short‐term peak, I expect the precious metals stocks are going to trade much higher.

By Edinah Masanga
I would like, on behalf of the Women's Empowerment Foundation for Southern Africa, to call on the South African Minister of Police, Fikile Mbalula, to exercise restraint when speaking on sensitive matters which may ignite xenophobic violence following his remarks that Zimbabweans are responsible for crime in SA.
It is our utmost concern that when violence breaks out, it is usually women and children who bear the brunt of it. In that vein, we wish to urge the Minister to lead by example and not forget the events of 2008, April 2015 and March 2017.
While we are not dismissing the substance of the Minister's remarks because we are not privy to the facts behind them, we are pleading that when speaking in public and to the media about such sensitive and emotional matters, he refrains from using language which might incite violence.
Our concern is based on the fact that inflammatory remarks against foreigners by public officials have led to xenophobic violence in the past.
As a public benefit media organisation, we condemn inflammatory speech in the strongest terms.
Statement by WEFSA CEO Edinah Masanga.

This year as luxury automakers like Bentley and Rolls-Royce work to set a healthy balance between making money and maintaining a sense of exclusivity for their high-end clientele, Ferrari is reporting results that embody that goal.
The 85-year-old brand announced revenue up more than 12% for the first three months of the year despite delivering 6% fewer cars compared to the same period last year. All told company revenue hit 620 million Euros (roughly $850 million) on delivering only 1,699 models globally, 100 fewer than last year. (It sold 6,922 cars in 2013.) Meanwhile net profits hit 57 million Euros ($78 million), up 5% over the same time.
The disparity is by design at a company trying to sell fewer cars than overall demand requests. Just like a good luxury automaker should.
"We want to keep total production of the cars in our range under the 7,000 mark once again this year," said Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo. He said the target presents a healthy challenge to the company as it continues to invest heavily both in its line of production cars and in its successful Formula One team. That's in addition to several lucrative non-car projects like the Ferrari theme park and licensing agreements to make goods like sunglasses and luggage.
Contributing to the positive results are the fact that Ferrari has decided to limit the number of cars it sends to mature markets (Europe, basically) and to discontinue making the so-called entry-level California. The idea is that keeping sales down will also bolster residual values for both modern and vintage Ferraris.
This year so far Japan and the Middle East have provided healthy growth markets for the Maranello, Italy-based company, with sales in Japan nearly doubling to 128 cars delivered in Q1 2014, 57 more than last year. China, on the other hand, saw only 73 cars delivered in the same time period, a 4% rise.
Part of that slower growth is due the fact that Chinese buyers—who consider it more prestigious to be driven than to drive—tend to covet extended wheelbase sedans and SUVS rather than nimble sports cars. Executives at
Regardless, Di Montezemolo said, excitement about the new 458 Speciale has increased interest about Ferrari across Asia: its order book for mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan has grown by 42% since January.
Elsewhere, Ferrari's biggest market, the United States, saw sales grow 8%, with 494 cars sold here over the past three months.
Europe, however, lent mixed results. The United Kingdom—Ferrari's second-biggest market—saw slight growth (168 cars sold there, a 3% rise), and after months of negative results Italy saw sales rise 13% to 63 cars sold. But overall sales and profits in Germany declined, and it a recent sales report Ferrari said that on an annual basis the continental market will remain "marginal" to the automaker.

I had the great privilege of previewing Kimberly Hahn's video "Mercy Calls Us to Witness: Becoming a Contagious Catholic." I chose this one because the phrase "Contagious Catholic" really jumped out at me. I want to be this kind of Catholic and I was curious to see what Kimberly would have to say.
Before I dive into her specific talk, I want to say that I really appreciate how this conference is laid out. You can watch them when you have time. I had to pause the video four times to deal with kid stuff and that was okay. That's the kind of conference I need with three little kids at home. I also appreciate that video was fairly short, I'd say about 20 minutes. Kimberly packed a ton of wisdom into 20 minutes and honestly, if it had been one or two hours, I probably would have kept putting it off. So thank you, Catholic Conference 4 Moms, for knowing what we needed and giving it to us!
Kimberly dives right in to explain how important it is for all of us to become witnesses to Christ's message. And since most of us know that, she quickly moves on to the top reasons why we DON'T spread that message. Reasons like fear, excuses, thinking ourselves unworthy, etc.
She also talks about what weakens our mission and how the way we live our lives sends a message whether we mean it to our not. I was especially impressed that she came out and said that having uncontrolled children can damage our witness. And she says that people know children can be unruly, she doesn't meant your regular "kids acting up" type of things. But she says, "Are we actively trying to train them how to act, how to respond to others, how to care for others? And it is our responsibility as parents to do that."
She calls us to always be growing in our faith and even says if we're not growing in our faith, we're probably moving backwards. And the thing about Kimberly is that she says these things in such a gentle and sweet way that I don't feel pressured, I don't feel guilty, I feel softly moved to take her advice and to grow in my own faith.
My favorite thing Kimberly says is about protecting your kids from poison! I won't spoil it by typing it all up but it was fantastic and it really changed how I viewed teaching the faith to my children!
I would highly recommend this conference for moms! The only teensy, tiny drawback I saw was that I couldn't rewind a little bit if she said something great and I wanted to write it down. You have to start from the beginning. But this is such a tiny thing and in the end, I was happy to watch it twice because there was that much good stuff in it!

Despite increased awareness about animal rights, cruelty to animals persists across the city. The recent chopping of ears of a three-month-old puppy was a horrific example of this.

Be it a pet dog, a chicken meant for a meat shop or cattle heading for the slaughter house, all kinds of animals face innumerable sufferings at the hands of humans. Animal welfare activists list a host of problems that lead to cruelty of animals.
T.B. Somanathan of Animal Life Protection Association, said he believed the worst cruelty a community dog faced was its relocation from its original locality to another one, after undergoing a birth control procedure.
This is a problem that looms large in the city, he said. Even reputed animal welfare organisations, after completing ABC (animal birth control) surgeries, often released dogs into different neighbourhoods. Dogs that undergo the surgery are generally weak. Once they are placed in a new area, existing community dogs chase them away, and in some cases, bite them, leading to intense pain and misery. Sometimes, such attacks are fatal, Mr. Somanathan said.
In rural areas Mr. Somanadhan said, there was a different kind of cruelty inflicted upon community dogs. Here, the ABC programme is not implemented on a regular basis. Instead, the fund allocated is siphoned off and dogs are brutally attacked and killed, he said.
In a recent incident in Kanyakumari district, at least half a dozen dogs were burnt and killed under the pretext of implementing the ABC programme, and the fate of another 80 dogs is still not known. This is the case in many town and village panchayats, where dogs are brutally murdered and records manufactured to show that ABC surgeries were carried out, Mr Somanathan alleged.
G. Arun Prasanna of People for Cattle in India, who concentrates on cattle trafficking, said cattle are the worst-affected as cruelty is inflicted upon them with impunity. In several cases where his teams of volunteers have intervened, there have been at least a dozen trucks, overloaded with cattle. Often, the volunteers found the cattle forced to stand one on top of another. When the cattle refused to cooperate, their legs are broken, he said.
As per prescribed norms for transporting cattle, water and feed should be provided to them while in transit. But none of the trucks intercepted had followed this, Mr. Prasanna said. Another glaring violation is the absence of a certificate from a veterinarian before the cattle are transported from one place to another, he said.
The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is the enforcing agency when it comes to stopping cruelty to animals. However, they face several challenges.
G. Dowlath Khan, an inspector with SPCA for the past 33 years, said outdated legal provisions, the abysmally low fine amount and a shortage of inspectors had resulted in increased cruelty towards animals of late.
While the inspectors at Chennai's SPCA were relatively better off and drew decent salaries, the condition of those in districts is very poor. This was also one of the reasons for poor implementation of animal welfare laws in the State, Mr. Khan said.
Though there are provisions in the Prevention of Cruelties to Animals Act to punish offenders, a complainant also has to include provisions of the Indian Penal Code in order for severe action to be takes against an offender. However, since there is little awareness or interest amongst law enforcers, there is hardly any implementation of the law, he said.

The Worst Weeds, Ranked
Published by permission from AGWEB c/o Farm Journal Media originally printed 4/4/2016.
Written By Ben Potter AgWeb.com Social Media and Innovation Editor
What's the most troublesome weed in the U.S., according to hundreds of weed scientists and Extension agents? The survey, conducted by the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) has crowned Palmer amaranth the worst of the worst.
"We certainly weren't surprised to find Palmer amaranth at the top of the U.S. list," says Lee Van Wychen, science policy director at WSSA. "This weed can have a devastating impact on crop yields. Its stems are tough enough to damage rugged farm equipment, and it is extremely prolific. A single Palmer amaranth plant can produce as many as a million seeds during a growing season."
The WSSA survey asked participants to list weeds most frequently seen, as well as species that are the most difficult to control. Here are the top five responses in each category.
Canadian weed scientists were also surveyed. In Canada, the "worst weed" landscape looks quite a bit different. The top five most troublesome weeds listed are gallium, wild oat, Canada thistle, kochia and wild buckwheat.
A 2015 Farm Journal Pulse poll revealed more farmers felt waterhemp was enemy No. 1 (35%), followed by marestail (19%), ragweed (14%), palmer amaranth (13%), "other" (11%) and grass species (8%). A 2013 Pulse poll showed similar results.

A canine treadmill helps keep the dog in shape by allowing the animal to get enough exercise. Regular exercise allows the dog to lead a healthy lifestyle by strengthening its heart muscle and relieving stress. Treadmills are a good solution for dogs that do not get to go outside and exercise much. Although canine treadmills can be purchased, it can be more cost efficient to build your own dog treadmill.
Select a treadmill without a centre post to allow the dog to have a walking path that is unobstructed. You can use a human treadmill, as well. However, the control panel should be elevated to avoid distracting the dog.
Use a screwdriver to remove the front, back and top panels of the kennel cage.
Place the modified kennel cage under the treadmill so the side panels serve as guardrails on either side of the walkway. These will allow the dog to keep walking forward and avoid distractions. Attach the panels to the treadmill posts with string so they remain upright.
Use a piece of string to extend the emergency stop line by knotting one end of the string to the emergency stop cord.
Attach a piece of rope at the same level as the dog's neck around one of the control panel pillars.
Affix a carabiner to the piece of rope. The carabiner will serve as a pulley for the emergency stop rope.
Pull the emergency stop string down the leg of the control panel and into the carabiner.
Place the dog on the treadmill. Attach the free side of the emergency stop string to the dog's collar when the treadmill is in use. Increase the speed on the treadmill until the dog is walking comfortably.
Most recent
- Trim the dog's toe nails before using the treadmill so they do not rip the belt.
- Place a thick carpet behind the treadmill. This will serve as a landing mat if the dog backs off the treadmill and will help prevent injuries to the animal.
- Do not strap the dog to the treadmill with a leash or place any tempting treats or toys around the treadmill. Treats and toys will distract the dog from its walking path.

Ducks Hold Off Wake Forest, 92-87, To Advance To Midwest Regional
March 16, 2002
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Oregon's tremendous trio just barely had enoughfirepower to hold off Wake Forest.
Luke Jackson scored 29 points, Luke Ridnour 28 and Frederick Jones 24 assecond-seeded Oregon survived a furious challenge from the Demon Deacons,winning 92-87 Saturday to advance to the Midwest Regional semifinals.
Jackson, Jones and Ridnour, who carried Oregon (25-8) to its first Pac-10Conference title since 1939, accounted for all but 11 of the Ducks' points asthey held off the hot-shooting Demon Deacons (21-13) in a thrilling, end-to-endgame with little defense but plenty of fireworks.
Wake Forest, the ACC's most experienced team, played one of its best gamesof the season, but the Deacons couldn't win this particular game of 5-on-3.Oregon's three stars scored all of the Ducks' points in the second half untilAnthony Lever's free throws with 11 seconds left.
The Ducks, just two days removed from their first NCAA tournament victorysince 1960, advanced to next week's regional final in Madison, Wis., to facethe winner of Texas' meeting with Mississippi State in Dallas on Sunday.
Fans in the decidedly pro-Ducks crowd at Arco Arena chanted, 'SweetSixteen!' in the final seconds.
Each member of the Ducks' trio was spectacular in his own way. Jackson madeall 10 of his free throws, including four in the final seconds, while Ridnourwas 7-of-11 on 3-pointers.
Jones, playing much better than he did in the Ducks' win over Montana onThursday, had six rebounds, five assists and two roof-raising dunks.
Craig Dawson scored 20 points for Wake Forest, which shot better than 55percent from the field until the final minutes and made 11-of-19 3-pointers.But Dawson injured his shoulder late in the second half and watched the finalminutes on the bench, wearing his warmups and a sling.
Still, first-year coach Skip Prosser's team got within a few seconds of itsfirst trip to a regional semifinal since Tim Duncan's junior season. DariusSongaila had 19 points and 13 rebounds in his final game for the Demon Deacons.
After Wake Forest led for more than 20 minutes, Oregon tied it at 78-78 onJones' thunderous rebound dunk with 5:58 left. After Ridnour hit a 3-pointerwith 3:32 left, neither team got another field goal until the final second.
Songaila and Antwan Scott missed key shots late, while Oregon made its freethrows and eked out a big enough lead to win.
Appropriately for a meeting between two of the NCAA's eight highest-scoringteams, the game began at a thrilling offensive pace it never lost. Wake Forestshot better than 63 percent for much of the first half, with Scott and Songailadominating Oregon's post players.
The Demon Deacons got only sporadic playing time from second-leading scorerJosh Howard, who has a sprained ankle. In addition, Broderick Hicks missed mostof the first half after running face-first into Oregon center ChrisChristoffersen's elbow in the opening minutes.
Dawson went to the locker room with 7:45 to play, holding his left shoulder- the same one he injured during last season's ACC tournament - after acollision with Jones.

As in the movie "The Giver" God has blessed me in having his own sexual arousal of God our Father and I just recent discovered my Aryan brothers are maturing in their heteosexuality with baby like knowledge compared to God's knowledge of sexual arousal for which I desired this disclosure sooner than now. I do become very sexually aroused by the images of my Aryan brothers as in the manifestation of the Holy Ghost as oneness in God. God rebuke you sadomaschmist demons because your insanity junk doesn't exist, therefore in my knowledge through God I have no fear of feeling our collective Heteorosexual sexual arousal in union with the Holy Ghost as oneness as eventually in our spiritual body all Aryan Supremacist heterosexual brothers will have this same oneness of the union of the sexual arousal of the Holy Ghost as oneness in proceate with an Aryan Supremacist heterosexual woman. For Er Erkennt, this is for you because the current grief of abuse, commenced by the postings of the music video "God Is On The Move," and the general question has been asked of me of the "gay" stuff is stressful and Yes, it is on form of the demonic possessed "gay" demons has insulted me with their insanity thinking of why I Rebuke those "gay" demons as to verbally explained their insanity or to explain the insanity of the severity of the insanity of the existence of the holographic projection of demons. The stress is manifested in the wrath of God of anger to completely destroy such insanity thinking and existence of those shit existing demons.
A Very Complex Post This Will Be; The Accumulation Of The Sadomaschists Ideology Of Homosexuality Has Been Manifestated In Three Forms; The Physical Armands At Vancouver, Canada; Being The Representation Of The Embodiment Of The Gay Ideology, The Satan And His Anti Christ Of Religious Sadomaschmists; And Saint Joseph Hospital Being The Representation Of One Global Currency Of The Commercial Ideology Of Sadomaschmism
First by how this post was inspired by the personal witness accounts by Aryan Supremacist heterosexual members of the children of God whom has suffered much sexual trauma which resulted in current manifestation of traumatized conversations. Last night experience the crucifixion of Jesus of grief for my Aryan Supremacist heterosexual siblings because of the question about of joking encouragement of being forced to be video taped in an interview such as the 30/30 tv northwest news magazine. I discovered the camera was satanic in limiting the manifestation of the Holy Ghost of which I disclosed this fact to the Aryan Supremacist heterosexual children of God. The Aryan Supremacist heterosexual people has sense God's wrath but God's wrath isn't against the Aryan Supremacist children of God but the Satanic demons of developers who constructed the camera by purposely to provoke anger against God by the idolization of the graven image in general at the exact time of the camera creation until this current time of manipulating the images of God's children in "gay" porn magazine by which was sent to me by the Rainbow Center. I will share how I grew up; I do have memories of living at the United Kingdom and I remember my Father Prince Charles had child playful love with me and I do remember running fast throw multiple connecting rooms inside Buckingham Palace, I vaguely remember my Grandma Elizabeth but I do remember a messy room which had a table with much unorganized papers scattered in the table. I remember my Father Prince Charles returning home and said "honey, I am home," and I yelled "Dady is here." I remember looking out the window of the northeast side of Buckingham palace and I saw leafless tees but few remaining autumn trees on the ground. In the year 2006, around the "Gay Pride" at Seattle I was suicidal because every I went were gays and gay commercial propaganda or pride week or pride month but it was the last weeks in June. I felt suicidal because I felt worthless in what is the purpose of living when my dreams can not come true; I had failed in obtaining an education, I had failed in being financially independent, I had failed in having my dream career, I failed in getting married and recreate at that time I didn't had a strong mind and I became emotionally tired of the gay pride junk being indoctrinated on me by therapists in Seattle and the therapist are train for one to become suicidal and for me the promotion of suicidal ideation by the promotion of gay pride indoctrination because at Seattle one's sexuality is question at O thought these counselors were friendly with me and were encouraging me to talk to them, in my counseling sessions I spoke with the counselor of current events and how I felt about the current events of which gay pride was discussed in Seattle as a major event such as the fourth of July and I was doubtful of the good intentions of the meaning of "pride" in Gay Pride, because pride connotes to me extremism and fruit of the flesh but because of the cultural meaning of other "pride" groups I did sublimely compared the idea of gay pride to be an extremist group such as racial pride racial groups. I asked the definition of "pride" and some non sense was disclosed to me of "gay" accomplishments to with I did asked "what accomplishments?" The therapist then started to place blame on me as if I was evil and they therapist asked me of "Stonewall" at New York and I told the therapist I never heard of Stonewall and the stupidity was even more stupidity by the only accomplishment "achieved" at Stonwall was the free admission of "gays" at the bar even though "gays" were secretly aloud admission to be in the bar and I thought to myself, what sort of achievement is that and I felt a sense of the inferiority of the "gays" of their only achievement is to enter a bar of previous admission, based in this stupidity of gay pride was frequently taught to me. I eventually became suicidal and I kept on telling my mom that I wanted to die, my mom told me the medicine weren't working for me because I wasn't suicidal before taking the medicine and the medicine was very unhealthy because before I took the medicine I was skiny and I gain weight by taking the medicine and we spoke to the doctor about stopping the medicine but the doctor blackmail us if I discontinued the medicine I would eventually end up at the mental hospital and my mom was very consistent about to stop all medication and I will naturally be heal because the medicine themselves were making me suicidal but I kept on repeating to my mom my fear of going to the mental hospital if I discontinued my medicine and in that year and very bad timing I took an overdose of sleeping pills, I caried the medicine with me that day and I visited the Unversity Bookstore, a Judin man told you "You are quiet handsome and he introduced himself to me and facialy asked me to follow him I sense something bad but I didn't comprehend the reason of the handsome comment but I ignored the comment but I only replied by stating my name. It was afterwards I felt so horrible and worthless because a man flirted with me and I felt am I so ugly of only a man would flirt at me? I felt shock and heavy trauma and walking from the bus stop to our apartment I began to take sleeping pills because I had the expression of "what the hell" or what is there to lose by being dead. In my much younger years I did imagined homosexual sex but I only imagine shit and I was deeply digusted of even to imagine gay sex, but I didn't personalized to my sexuality or I didn't feel arousal on the contrary I purposely avoid the homosexual such as San Francisco and I am very thankful I never visited the Castro in San Francisco and I only in depth explored San Francisco of its geographic shoreline.
The Communication I Had With The Prophet Mose Was Based Completely On The Bible
I was finally able to comprehend the personality of the Mose as verbal interaction with God during Mose's interaction with God I noticed a confirmation of my unique connection with God Our Father because the Mose expressed his concern towards God and I had that conversation as a "primer" of my life of how I instinctly sense God's Almighty power and will being fulfilled in my life and the request from Mose felt as if Mose didn't know about the future but not in being unfaithful with the Almighty predestined will of God but to be shown the predestined will of similarly to the squirrel situation I asked of the Mose how he would reacted to those demonic stalking squirrels and I noticed I deeply feel as I myself are to give the ultimate judgement of the second death against the squirrels and I sensed God's Almighty persistent in killing all the squirrels with demon possessed corpse as God is currently racially clensing the entire universe from the racially impure spirits of those psychotic demons. In addition my conversation with God our Father is much different from that of Mose in my conversations with God, I sense in myself God's unity with me as to sense confirmations from God whenever God verbally speaks and when I communicate with God I have a strong feeling of past tense as if everything I posted about God has already been fulfilled at that time of communication although witnessing it fulfilment has yet to be occur with some instances of communication between myself and God our Father, for instance I very much enjoy my request to God our Father because I have enjoyment of rejoicing of I already sensed my desires has been fulfilled but I have yet to witness the fulfilment of my desires to be accomplished and I sensed a similar strong predestination by the Mose himself specific in his conversation as I sense I have felt your predestined conversations with me but I am only waiting for Mose to articulate his personality in details of which I can understand in myself I sense a urgency to obtain all knowledge of the Mose and from Mose I sense a natural holding back in fear of being insulting in communication and this fear is the basic obstacle of limitations between God's children and God our Father and I have noticed it is much better to articulate freely to God in communicating then the burden of being limited in communicating with God as I experience this limitations in conversing with God with the complexities of being sexually aroused because I didn't know how to communicate to God what specifically I needed for myself in order in communicating in detail what I desired to be done in being free from the sexual stresses. Similarly I felt a sadness of my Aryan Supremacist brothers of feeling to disprecting me of asking about the camera question in both as don't you know me by now? I am just like you in joking based in God's law and you should know that but I do comprehend the extreme severity of the satanic technology in has the reason to not know the answer to how I would I feel but let me give you this precedence in working for the Lord in financial gains in which income is of no concern in relation to performing or to be near God but I have much anger in only our limitations with has been a hindrance in your relationship with me and I rebuke the hindrance itself and become free in the name of Jesus Christ!!! Will use the technology for an instance of having freedom in your communication with me as to ask "how severe is it the satanic usage is upon the technology are we still able to play with you?" I response as I did; the technology is satanic in limiting my full manifested of the Holy Ghost in only in its stupidity of limitations on the geographic such as money itself is satanic by the image of the best and yes Shane Harper because of money itself this caused the vehicle or pathways in which caused the extreme severity of satanic destruction in the worsest it was during the times of all creation but please remember how meaningless was capitalism in your Christian ministering because this money itself is the basic example of the usage of technology and your desire to play with me by technology in with I have great grief in the stupidity of limiting yourself because I Am desperately trying to reach you yourself and I much desire for you to be completely honest in your desires than to have a very fun occasion of funnes which we missed the funness only because of your fear and your fear itself only harms me because image the joy we had exprience if you had taken to opportunities and simply ask me your hearts desires because I know your hearts are pure and innocent and because of these two important facts please do remind yourselves this as you communicate towards me and I have learned it is very important and necessary to disclose all information of one's desire because it both causes healing and authentic communication with God as I tried to be specifically honest in my social media postings with you and I very much enjoy our 30/30 tv northwest news magazine as we have this established joking communication and yes, if you yourself were reporters on this 30/30 I would grant you specific access to me in a candid free tv record interview with me and such as the joke reposting the theme picture of the Aryan man teaching for candy and making fun of myself as the breaking news theme of the picture is the 20/20 typical theme musical introduction with bold prints on the picture BEHOLD, OUR GOD HAS NOW GONE SHOPPING FOR THE NESSESARITY OF VERY MUCH DELIOUS SWEET FOOD OF SNACKS and my favorite snack are cinnamon rolls. For our pretended personal candid 30/30 recorded interview you are free to view that video as often as you desire and have fun and laugh all of your desires until you can't physically laugh anymore and I too enjoy a good long laugh of God's Nazi humor and I do laugh until I become physically tired and I am rejoicing for our next opportunity for your interactions with me and I deeply love and enjoy our unique dialogue of specific and explicit form of Gods' Nazi humor!!! God bless us all and the most precious Children of Der Hoschten. For this night a demon possessed corpse of the non mankind inferior degenerate Hermphrodite Sadomaschmists Mestizin junk of it "man" has this night of his demonic stalking as those relentless stupidity of demonic squirrel but I know that mestizin minor boy bitch will die and will be sent to HELL as well as the rest of the mestizin boy bitches but I wanted to further response to what I heard of talk by Mose and yes at that time of prayer by Mose of his concern for me to physical hold me I was experiencing two things the complex of falling into the syncope again and a general feeling of being desperate again but because I wasn't fully conscious there wasn't any specific subject to articulate my desperate around because when I am awake I sense the despair and it is natural focus into subject or objects in situations which didn't fully developed last night but I had consciousness enough to hear the funny stupidity of the herd mentality of the automatic time telephone operator. God I will be completely truthful because I don't want this to be a hindrance between Mose and I but I sense a possibility of I may be to smart for Mose in which I won't be able to recognize the basic terms of love that Mose has for me because what exactly do you feel as an physical urgency to be near me and to hold me because I don't comprehend the details of such love. But God blessed me by comfort by hearing Mose urgency to be with me at the time of not being fully conscious and if Mose Was here I would explain the basic of I am currently fainting and pray for me so I may fast fall asleep without much stress before falling asleep.
Monday 12 December 2016; Today's Knowledge I Obtained From My Aryan Supremacist Heterosexual Siblings
I have been blessed today by obtaining specific information of how God is viewed by my Aryan Supremacist siblings. First I will discuss how I felt. For me the blessing is to such an extreme as God has granted by prayers of having traveling companions of Aryan Supremacy siblings of which was much more than I expected from even a physical conversation while traveling and for me, the traveling companions part is the articulation of deep discussion of the commenced conversations by my Aryan Supremacist siblings has started with me and I have much happiness now I be communicated as articulate as with the conversations I had with my mom and not too often but sometimes our conversations lasted hours into the night past midnight but especially when my mom and I attended church of either the Roca Fuerte or the Wednesday night service at Lake City and previous Sunday night service; my mom and I enjoyed Pastor Dave's sermons and we would study the Bible together and sing hyms too at our apartment. Now I will respond to what I heard, about my God intelligence of comprehension. I didn't know that was a difference in myself in being the Son of God and the rest of God's children in intelligence but I did know God chose me as his highest ranking prophet, for me I previously understood that any God's child may have information given to them through the Holy Ghost. For instance I viewed Christian ministry as confirmations because everything I disclosed is based on the scriptures by the Holy Ghost often for me I first have God's revelations then God's given information is then Biblically confirmed. For instance my joke of 30/30 tv northwest news magazine has a high likelihood of eventually being Biblical confirmed too such as many previous events in my life has been confirmed in a similar many but now I have noticed the ministry from my Aryan Supremacist siblings is helping in the confirmation of the 30/30 joke such as Brandon Tasche Instagram posting of "Behold, our God" and because of the ministry of Brandon Tasche and other I was able to respond to a demon who had a conversation with me, similarly this type of helping ministry is how my mom and I communicate and learned from the Bible. I have been persistent in God's healing for the Aryan man for the emotional damage of the 1990's junk and today God gave us a big miracle in strictly describing that 1990's sadomaschists junk is over by first of the song "Jesus In Disguise" which lead me to Shane Harper song "Let's Take The World" I wrote the lyrics of that song in the formal form of the Anglo Saxon Language of prophet formality form of the Anglo Saxon Language and I had a surprise blessing from God that God has answered very details of my prayers of the complete destruction of the non mankind inferior degenerate Hermphrodite Sadomaschmists and the complete healing of the Aryan Supremacist heterosexual man. Since I first heard that song "Let's Take The World" it has been such a blessing to me and the song "Let's Take The World" has been the only song I wept for feeling the deep love of the singer Shane Harper and God has been blessing us since that occasions and that was how I found about Shane Harper and eventual some other joke occurred by the demonic possessed corpse obsession of the subway commercial actor Jared Folgle and Bob Vila because of the recorded "House Hunters" episodes I had. So eventually these characters of the subway commercial actor and Bob Vila were used for a non existing entities of demonic activities and this demons' name become "Jared D'Avila." I eventually discovered the sadomaschmist ideology was very prevalent in mass media because I saw a music video of Shane Harper of a discussion of a Judin man who attempted to kiss me and the idiot Judin man said all "men" flirted in returned to the attempted kiss except me because the Judin man noticed I was about to punch him on his face. Sometime after that I viewed a picture I uploaded of Shane Harper of some media commercial of "Just Jared." I saw some of the online advertising of the music video of Shane Harper and I discovered some Disney channel tv sitcome style show of Shane Harper as the music videos portrayed. So if this Jared demon was so popular in the mass media so was Shane Harper and thank God I haven't been exposed to that previous Disney channel sadomaschmist tv show junk because if I did now about that Disney channel tv show I would ignore all advertising of Shane Harper including his music which would had been a great loss on everyone of God's children. Of the movie "Grumpier Old Men" I don't know who this demonic Just Jared character is but at least I didn't know Shane Harper by that advertisement. Then about Mose excitement of talking to God and I did assumed this reaction of Mose for me. With that "Just Jared" for Shane Harper I was reminded of the demons has done to me as in the false "shroud" of Jesus Christ of which I never wiped my face on a towel for personal collections and for which reason would I allow a collection of a meaningless towel by which I hate the demon inspiration of the developement of technology of taken a color photo of my face by with this mode of modeled after the demons mode of basic communication of being shit cranial radio receivers!!! I heard the possibility of being pressured in being on camera as a form of friendly teasing trading and this is the unique situation by which I had discussed by myself I wouldn't use the video but in a loving friendly Christian encourage settings I would display myself but not with that stupidity of a demonic microphone which is satanic to not allow the full manifestation of the Holy Ghost for cause of limiting me in a specific geographic location of the microphone but I would wear a portable clip on the clothing microphone as long as have freedom in reference to that specific situation. For me the reaction by Mose has confirmed the first contact I expected Mose to react and I sense from God in to know Mose, it would be Mose to ask me questions in order to develop knowledge of the Mose so eventually I may have my turn in requesting knowledge of Mose past of which I have much interest in that time of history of the Exodus. In my first direct response to the Mose, I have a question for you, in my attempt to know your personality. First I will state about myself for a reference, here the demon possessed squarrels has been stalking me by the herd mentality of the Armand and I have physically killed two demonic squarrels, one of the squirrel died from internal bleeding because I threw an empty jar of peanut butter at the squirrel but the peanut butter jar didn't even hit the squirrel directly of the jar's full force but the peanut butter jar first hit the ground and bounced towards the squirrel and hit the squirrel's side and another squirrel had an heart attack because I almost hit the squirrel as I kick it and I would had hit the squirrel but the squirrel was out of reach from my kick and the picture of you in black clothing with some sort of Nazi metal item; if I had that object of yours I wouldn't want until the squirrels can physically close to me to kill them but I would warn the squirrel by throwing the metal object to them until the squirrel dies from being hit because the demonic squirrel will not give up staking me until I kill them and because of this squirrel stalking when I imagine that picture of yours I imagine constant throwing by the metal object and what would you do Mose if squirrels constant stalked you?
I Have Experience God's Crucifixion Grief By The Slowing Of Relationship Between God And His Aryan Supremacist Children, By Fault Of The Camera Developers Who Developed The Camera As The Demons Were The Model For The Development Of The Camera; Scriptures Of Confirmation Of Diabolical Intention As The Inspiration Of The Camera
God has given me scriptures which has confirmed the guilt of the slowing of the bonding lies with the demon possessed corpse of the non mankind inferior degenerate Hermphrodite Sadomaschmists Who has purposely made the camera to be satanic for stop the manifestation of the Holy Ghost; I also read scripture of the innocent intentions by my Aryan Supremacist brothers of talking about the camera as to joke with me but to be forceful in joking in an effort of being encourageable. Thus, I felt great grief and I felt as Jesus felt on the cross, a separation from the Aryan Supremacist people by guilt of the demons who had tricked my innocent Aryan Supremacist heterosexual brothers and desperate to reform and continue are joking by the 30/30 tv northwest news magazine metaphor of playing with God's Nazi humor with God's Nazi perfect children!!! Finally I was able to cry but before much heavy grief by with I preferred to become instantly unconscious because the feelings were so horrible to be sensing them. God did allowed me to sleep and I knew it was another lesson to be learn but I needed a little encouragement in a general direction spoken by my mom of which I saw pictures of Brandon Tasche and another photo which reminds me of Brandon Tasche true personality of a short child looking man with the same sad innocent eyes Brandon Tasche has, that is why I have nicknamed Brandon Tasche the weeping prophet. I then read a very about trinken which was the reason I have Brandon Tasche the Tasche disegnation of Tasche because of the Lord's last supper with union with the Holy Ghost. I then read verses which described the guilt offenses by the devoplers of the camera because the devoplers who made the camera as their true intentions of making the camera was to stop the Holy Ghost but the camera was modeled after the basic mode of comprehenable communication by which is the only understandable mode of communication by the herd mentality of the radio receivers reaction, because with such insanity was the purpose of the camera as being inferior existing as very simplistic but having great geographic limits to impose and the stupidity of the graven image as to be idolized was the primary reason of the development of the camera; I have discovered this idolatry fact by the 30/30 jokes based on my Gods' personality of making fun of the "shroud" of Jesus Christ which eventually lead me to the Bible verses which has confirmed the satanic purpose of development the camera for intentional sin for promoting the graven image and to stop the manifestation of the Holy Ghost.
Monday 12 December 2016; I Am Not Impressed By The Fact That It Is Snowing Here At Bellingham, What Is Impressing Is The Funness Of Walking Through A Winter WONDERLAND
For you non mankind inferior degenerate Hermphrodite Sadomaschmists lack of knowledge of snow in reference to the snow of the Pacific Northwest; I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 12 years and I lived through many types of winter weather coldness storms, the winter storm which are more deadly are ice storms of freezing rain coating everything and electricity is gone for several days and yes several days in such a large city as Seattle as Seattle is strictly prepared for its yearly blizzards without paranoia such as California was commercialized its falsely made earthquake "proof" structures which were weak structurally. Ironically the structure made specifically to withstand both blizzards and the risk here at the Pacific Northwest for tornadoes are proper for high seismic activities which the Pacific Northwest doesn't have much of a seismic risk beside of very minor structural damage in of earthquakes occurring only once in the emphoral of maximum earthquakes ever to occur on Earth and yes the shaking at Vancouver was the same in strength as the 2001 earthquake and as I had posted minor damage. The tornado risk here at the Pacific Northwest isn't paranoid either but I have been to the Midwest and it is noticeable the lack of preparedness for the risk of tornadoes at the Pacific Northwest because here at the Pacific Northwest the structure has double of everything to survive a tonado such as a thick metal door to enclose the door to enter the elevator plus addition protection of every few yards more thick metal doors for tornado protection place very thick windows, walls in thickness are commonly one foot in thickness. Every year king 5 news has specific "event" showings of interrupting pre planed programs of both to prepare for tornadoes and winter storms. For tornadoes it is said to go to a lower level basements which all apartment buildings do have as underground garages, and if not able to reach an underground basement then go to the interior of the building such as bathroom here are mostly located in the interior in structures and to lay flat in the bathtub and to cover oneself with blankets. For snow, it is shown by king 5, to have plenty of non perishable foods such as can foods and save minimal quantities of perishable food outside in the snow for just in case of the severity of the duration of being snowed in, plus wax candle because wax candles natural can be fixed on surfaces but lanterns are the better choice if one can afford to buy the oil, for the year occurance of durations of being out of power within one winter season. The weather radio is good for entertainment for the duration of not having electricity, news, music, and weather reports from the National Weather service plus the weather radio has an in built battery charger with an in built light. One of my favorite winters was the winter in a December of which one foot of snow fell during that winter plus the rest of the month of December was literally frozen and Seattle was shut down or snowed in for that duration of December too; it was the year the majority of kids didn't received Christmas gifts because the snowed in conditions commenced earlier in December by no one had knowledge of how long the snowed in weather would last. My mom and I were lucky in being prepared for the snowed in conditions and the time we needed groceries we ventured out in the door of accumulated snow and at least three feet of snow drifts, I took pictures of my mom during that specific outing to Grocery Outlet in Lake City Seattle. A winter during a blizzard; my mom and I took a day trip to SeaTac international airport, the light rail trailing was traveling past the Seatac Airport itself as the train was arriving at the last station of SeaTac. While passing the airport itself, the blizzard was very noticeable, as to appear as thick fog with snow. I told my mom that it was foggy and snowing to which my mom explained to me, the precipitation was only and only heavy snow fall. During returning to our apartment it was darkness of night as we waited for the metro bus towards Lake City and it was there my mom became angered at the stupidity of what was considered "cold" for Midwest America which now has the authentic weather stereotype of Sub Sahara desert warm of winter and my mom was strict in explaining to me as to describe to me you do have to remember the cold weather of Seattle. The temperature maximum was 16 degrees and during that time of the evening was temperature was around 13 plus a very strong wind of actually wind chills very well below zero degrees!!! My mom with anger told me "do you feel this?" I replied yes it is cold, but my mom wanted me to noticed both the cold temerature and the severity of the strong winds, to which my mom had a conversation with me unti my mom was specifically talking about the actual air temperature and the deep penetrating cold of the wind entering all layers of clothing which we wear our thickest jackets with thermals but the flesh was exposed to the cold air temperatures as if we didn't wore at least 3 thick layers of clothing to maintain our warmth. My United Kingdom jacket and even at Chicago I was sweating in that black wool jacket.
(Post Alexander Lapin photos) 2016 Has Been A Great Year Of Blessings And A Truly Wahrheit Happy Year: The 30/30 Tv Northwest News Magazine End Year Collage. Monday 12 December 2016; The Description Of "Gay Sex" And Shit; I Sense Nothing But Disgust As The Same About Feeling To Stomp On The Face Of The Wannabe Edward Snowden And The Butts Of TheAryan Supremacist Heterosexual Man: I Sense God's Presents As Angelic Men Children Being In Which Brings Me Sadness Of Grief For The Loss Of My Mom Maria Hitler Razcon; Around This This Date In 2013; Was When My Mom & I Obtain Our Last Christmas Tree at Northwest Food Harvest Near Fred Meyer At Lake City Seattle, Washington: My Maternal Grandmother Eva Braun Used The Nazi Definition Of JUDIN Specifically Against The Front Lineless Sterile Wannebe Clitoris Of The Judin Hermphrodite Man Definition Of Their Literally Worthless "Penis," With Same Angered Disgusting Emotions Of JUDIN, Especially During Our Visit To San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf Neighborhood During The Summer Of 1995
"Homosexuality" doesn't exist but it does existence as a termology of the word JUDIN which are the corpse embodiment of literally worthless pieses of shits of demons which the word JUDIN does describes!!! Shane is nice! No, Shane is naughty! God has used Shane Harper is a specific manner which blessed all Aryan Supremacist heterosexual men; the ending of 2016, has been the funest year of my life of being as teasing playful teenagers with our sexual bodily images. It was a time of complete freedom of youthfulness and healing and in protesting the demonic possessed corpse of the non mankind inferior degenerate IDOLITORS; in which God used as to prove to the lifeless demonic possessed corpse idolitors what heterosexual is authentically visually manifested in our physical behavior and this protesting in witnessing against the demonic possessed corpse of the Judin hermphrodites has brought me deep joy as to mean "you have been absolutely incorrect this entire time and how noticeable your falsehood really is." Yesterday, I saw pictures of a Judin hermphrodite man "modeling" by Instagram pictures and several things are very noticeable; first the fruits of the flesh of vanity and the Judin Hermphrodite demon man is exploiting the vanity in the Judin man's pictures. The Judin hermphrodrite man did tired to imitate some vague position of sexual arousal of Aryan Supremacist heterosexual men but the Judin man lacked life itself and the poses were specifically planed as if some pyschoctic game the Judin man was playing out in his demonic carnal shit head! Plus the Judin man appeared totally deformed as if the shit of the Judin man can be crushed by simply by visual commands of the Judin man's shit torso to implode. I have noticed the expression of the prophet Mose and a picture of Shane Harper, if it were not for the pictures I taken of myself during the late afternoon at Bellingham library I would had discovered the appearance of God's wrath and in an attempt to hide the obvious God rebuke you demons and go to HELL but I will disclose this You can't separate the love of God from the wrath of God and therefore all I need is to discuss my wrath of God. I first noticed my wrath appeared severe in being very angered and authentic and I was fascinated in knowing specifically but knowing I do have God's image why I looked different from, for instance the Prophet Mose. It was the PHOTOGRAPH of Mose SMILING in black clothing with Nazi metallic symbol objects of which I finally comprehended how different I am and the other photographs of Shane Harper is a business emotional expression of strictness rather then Shane's personality of not being strict and another fuzzy photograph I have of Shane Harper but for some reason I have much wrath against the technologies of obtaining my image in photography, videos, and audio: for instance, I saw another photograph of le Monsieur Brandon Tasche singing in front of a microphone and I felt the same wrath as Jesus had in the temple of the Charlatans money changers and I felt as if I was physically there with the microphone I would have much rage against the microphone and I will say; "I will not be controlled by a useless piece of shit of this demonic aparatus!" I sort of feel similarly to the technology of having both my images taken and video audio taken which is the reason I can't pose as the prophet Mose did in the black clothing with an authentic smile nor the photographs of Shane Harper smiles but specifically the photograph of the fuzzy picture of Shane pose smile. Plus an authentic smile of mine taken on photography required an authentic interaction of love between my mom and myself. I also enjoyed making fun of how wtathful I appear in the photographs as is I am the Highest ranking judge there is with "the buck stops here" as I am the last and complete head of all authority. I actually do enjoy the images of my wrathful facial expressions because this is the authentic self of mine. The reason of my wtath at these precise situation of technology is because this specific type of technology is exactly modeled after the non mankind inferior degenerate hermphrodite Sadomaschmists of their lifeless conscious shit cranial head of which communication is only by herd mentality of "radio signals" as a metaphor of such stupidity the non mankind inferior degenerate hermphrodite Sadomaschmists only has this form of communication; the demonic possessed corpse are only radio receivers in terms in communicating!!!

Lady From Shanghai (Demos) #3 - Pere Ubu
The Road Trip Of Bipasha Ahmed (4:09)
Thanks (2:08) preview
Lampshade Man (6:16) preview
Total download file size: 32.3MB
Description: This is the third installment of demos for the next Pere Ubu album, "Lady From Shanghai." Click here for the first set, and here for the second set. These mp3 files include lyrics should your player be able to read them. These songs are somewhere between demos and works-in-progress. They are far from completed. They are at the place where the ideas are coalescing. They will continue to evolve as instruments, parts and ideas are added and fleshed out. The titles are working titles and so they may or may not change.
It's highly unlikely that "Thanks" will appear in this form. David is in the process of grooming Steve Mehlman to be his replacement as Ubu's singer. This, however, is one of those studio larks that rarely see the light of day.

"The summit is for the ego, the journey is for the soul."
You know when you've had a long day, or an argument with a family member, or even when you're celebrating a promotion and you circle around the dessert table and after about seven minutes you pick up a brownie and take a bite and then you keep eating it and you don't even know why and you don't taste it anymore (it doesn't even taste good!) and you're only feeling pissed at yourself for having taken that first bite in the first place!?
You know what I'm talking about. And you know why you get so pissed eating that brownie? Because you let your mind win! You had goals, needed to stick to your nutrition or training plan, and you talked yourself out of it. You gave in. You didn't earn it. You broke.
We live in a world of instant gratification and overnight successes. There is an illusion that the faster, easier, less complicated way is better. But it's not. I guarantee that if I gave you all $1 Million right now you might appreciate it for about an hour (okay, maybe a week); you will think your dreams have been realized and that you got the feeling of success you were after – but that's just not true. You didn't earn it. If you don't earn it, it doesn't feel nearly as good. In fact, you may even get depressed or frustrated by being handed what you thought you wanted. What you were really after was the growth, the learning opportunity, and the experience, not the cash!
Let me give you a couple of examples. Did you know when people win the lottery, that they are in a worse off financial position after 10 years than before they won!? It's because they did not earn the right, they did not become who they needed to be in order to handle that kind of money. The same happens to professional athletes. Have you noticed how many go bankrupt? They are handed million dollar contracts without having gone through the girt and grind of building a financial model or the financial knowledge in order to manage it properly.
Whether you eat a brownie that you weren't supposed to, had an unexpected windfall, or took off three unplanned days of workouts, it might feel good in the moment, but you are going to be kicking yourself later.
Being handed what you think you want is never really what you want.
Success is hard; it's a struggle. This isn't the first time we've talked about this, but I think it bears repeating. Those "overnight" successes? They worked their asses off. You have to choose your struggle. Choose what you will say no to, and consequently, choose what you will say yes to. When you look back ten years from now and see the struggle, the grind, the success, the failure, the results, the setbacks, etc. that you had along the way you will be thankful for those experiences and the journey. I never fear losing money or going bankrupt, because I know that I have the knowledge and skills to build it back up again, no matter how fall I've fallen. Because I've done it before. If success had just been handed to me, I wouldn't be able to say that, nor would I have the confidence to go out there, take risks, write checks, and break necks.
You've got to earn the right to success. Sure, it gives you more credibility in the marketplace, but more so, it gives you the confidence you need to get shit done and to weather the storm. On your journey you must find models (and role models), systems, and rules to guide you which all starts with daily habits and activities. It's not going to be easy, but nothing really worth having ever is. Find the biggest and best habits to support your journey, your struggle, your growth, so that when you do get there, when you do earn that right, you'll be able to enjoy every bite.

An archaeologist's treasure chest
Samos has more than its share of antiquities and attractions for you to unearth. Among them, the walls of Polykrates, the Ancient Theatre and Roman Baths, and the amazing tunnel of Eupalinos, one of the great engineering feats of all time. Finally, the Temple of Hera, and the sanctuary around it, in the supposed place of her birth, was one of the largest temples in Greece.
Vathy, living traditions in the present tense
Have a wander round the old part of Samos' main port-town, built on a hillside overlooking the sea. The narrow streets and handsome two-storey houses with tiled roofs and charming individual features, will give you a glimpse of pre-20th-century life. Some homes attract your attention with an elegant stone staircase, others will have interestingly carved wooden doors, or the enclosed balconies typical of Anatolia. But walk down to the waterfront and you're back in today. The town extends around the deep bay that gave it its name.
Beaches, beaches, beaches
Here you'll have an embarrassment of riches and the fun of searching for the one you like best. Do you prefer organised or private and pristine? ? Vast sandy stretches or intimate coves? Crowded and sophisticated or remote-and-bring-your-own-picnic? Sand or fine pebbles? Beaches of every type skirt the island. On the north coast, you could start with popular Kokkari and the quieter beaches next door (Lemonakia, Tsamadou, Tsambou) as far as Agios Konstantinos.
Near Karlovasi there's Potami, a big, beautiful strand, with a selection of bars and restaurants behind it. At Vathy, everyone flocks to Psili Ammos ('fine sand') and Mykali, a beach that goes on forever. The south coast offers Kambou, Votsalakia ('little pebbles') and gorgeous Chrysi Ammos ('golden sand'). Take your pick or try them all.
Aperitif with a pedigree
Samos' reputation for fine wine goes back to antiquity. It's no accident that the Catholic Church used to have a special order of accredited Samos wine for its Holy Communion services. Today the famous local grape, Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains, continues to produce a dessert wine that has oenophiles raving.
Sturdy Samos ships
The pine of Samos is harder and more resistant to weather than other types of wood. Its excellent quality led to shipbuilding becoming a major occupation on the island.
A genuine shipyard from the past
From the ancient Samaines, wooden biremes that dominated the Aegean in the 6th century BC, until the advent of the steamship, the boats of Samos were always superior. You can still see one of the last tarsanas or shipyards from this period at Agios Isidoros.
Mountain villages, the aces up Samos' sleeve
Drag yourself off that beach you discovered and venture into the mountains. Here you'll find delightful hamlets tucked into lush green slopes, idyllic holiday settings. Mt Kerketea and the area from Potami to Mikro and Megalo Seitani form a vast, unofficial natural park, just the place to enjoy the other side of Samos' character.
The cave of Pythagoras
Found at the foothills of Mt Kerketea is a cave where, according to some sources, Pythagoras hid when the tyrant Polykratis was pursuing him. There is also another version of history which says that Pythagoras used the cave as a sanctuary to contemplate philosophical issues undisturbed. Some 320 steps lead to the entrance of the cave, from where the view is spectacular.
