This week I focused on the stories you probably wouldn’t have heard about if your didn’t read this blog or actually read this week’s edition of the paper.  Therefore this blog post should  save you time, educate your mind and also save you a few dollars.

(1) The federal government is looking to impose new rules on fracking which the industry is actively opposing.

(2) Scientists are spending time debating whether dinosaurs had lips (and I thought some of my debates were going know where)

(3) There is an active debate whether the government should restrict where people can build housing after massive mudslides and hurricanes.

(4) Jeb Bush’s educational testing plan,which demonstrated upgrades in student performances, is facing push back from many  parents and educators  as they believe that students are being over tested are taught to learn toward a test instead of learn to be educated.

(5) Netanyahu’s change in political posturing where he played the underdog in the last few weeks appears to have given him and his supporters the edge in the Israeli election.

(6) Drone deliveries face additional hurdles from weather, battery life, birds, regulations and even gun toting neighbors that make their deliveries less certain then predicted.

(7) Growth sales in Porsche create concerns in management as they fear overproduction will hurt their niche image.

(8) A  Gas Pumper left 8 million dollars to his heirs as his stock investments and frugal lifestyle paid off for them.

(9) New Visual Reality can be had for a small investment in a $25.o0 viewer as long as you have the correct smartphone App.

(10) You can get first class tickets without paying the price through last minute upgrades when you check in, through an online auctions, or book your flight way in advance.

RICH POOR SAME SEATS

THIS IS REAL EASY SO YOU WANT HAVE TO GET DANDRUFF

Their is one place where the wealthy and less fortunate actually sit in the same seats. It may not be found at the same restaurants, hotels, stores, or positions they have so where is this location?  This is a location where a greater truth will be found that will give you meaning for this life and the life to come.   Where wealth might bring you a closer seat to the pew but the meaning permeates throughout the entire room as if you’re all sitting in the front row.  WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

How far from .. RICH

Someone get a Fire Extinguisher.

For some it’s not how much money they accumulate but how much money their close friends and family make. They can stay at their house, eat at their restaurants, and even go to the top shows without grabbing a dollar from their own wallet.  In return for the generosity this wealthy individual gets to hang out with them which includes  enjoying their humor, perspective on life and most importantly receive their support and love.  For the one who has the rich loved one they enjoy the perks without the pain of getting there themselves, yet must return to their own “normal lives” dependent on the will of the wealthy.   If they are able to keep the relationship true and strong this can be a wealthy friendship that last a lifetime.

SACRIFICE

   Are you willing to make a sacrifice when you do something wrong intentionally or unintentionally?  Would you sacrifice your wealth or success for a greater good at a certain time?  When the Tabernacle and Temple my ancestors did just that as they brought their most worthy possessions (their animals) to the mount to be sacrificed to G-D. Yet this sacrifice was only for mistakes they made to G-D for sins that were committed against fellow human beings forgiveness from those individuals must also be sought. Today we don’t have the Temple to offer such a sacrifice but if instead when we sinned ( intentionally or unintentionally) we truly asked to be forgiven and gave of our financially reasons and/or other means to those less fortunate I believe that sacrifice would cleanse our souls as well.

Stop Voting… if you want

The President suggested that it might be a good idea to have mandatory voting but I wonder do we really want everyone to vote?  Why would we want people to vote who don’t even know the basics of our constitution and who is our Vice President?  Why would it be so important to have those who are willing to wait hours and hours online to get to a concert or buy an IPAD but can’t find a few minutes to get out and vote?  How about those people who don’t want to vote as a protest to the current system and the choices they have should they be forced to vote? In a free society we must insure that people have the right to vote or stop voting if they so choice.

The Media Elite Turn on Obama

What would it take for the “Media Elite” to turn their back on President Obama? Obviously it isn’t scandals or unconstitutional acts so what would it truly take? Here are a few actions that I believe would truly make this occur. PLEASE SHARE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS.

(1) President Obama has a change in heart and soul and is now “Pro Life”. Furthermore he will committ resources to help save unborn lives.

(2) The President accuses “Hollywood” of making films that are too liberal and believes that there should be balance even if he might disagree.

(3)  Church  membership becomes an active Sunday occurence for him and his family and it’s not the Jeremy Wright version.

(4)  True resources are brought to battle Muslim Extremism and the President isn’t afraid to call it what it is.

 

ALONE

How many years did it feel like as I felt alone? Whether it was sitting at a lunch table where no one else sat or being in a crowded room but feeling like a ghost with just a wind passing between me and another person.  Feeling alone still haunts me in my dreams and thoughts years later when the experiences are much less relevant that was until last night. Last night I realized the truth that I was and you are never alone.  Your best friend and creator is sitting right next to you.  You could be stuck in a hospital where no else visits you or alone at a movie theater because everyone else is busy but G-D always has the time and is there with you. G-D doesn’t need an invite and as even there when know one else seems to care G-D does. The Creator will a find a way to lift you out of your despair and loneliness if you just acknowledge his presence in your life and ask for G-D’s help.  So the next time your feeling alone look past the empty seat and feel that G-D is here sitting across from you and caring for you like no other can.

Last Man On Earth- Is Alive!

The Last Man On Earth is alive with humor, great character development and an original script.  I decided to wait to see 3 episodes before writing my critique on the show to see whether it will still be as good over that period of time and it continues to prove me right. What is amazing is the story continues to grow even though the cast and characters are quite limited.   I could be tired or even in a cranky mood but after watching an episode of Last Man On Earth I feel on top of the world with laughter.

Dog Speech Trainer

After reading the book “Ghost Boy” I realized that many people that are considered unable to communicate have abilities that are far behind what we perceived but how about dogs?  Are dogs depth of learning way behind what we believed? Can dogs learn to use modern technology to say they’re hungry, thirsty or even want a hug?   Wouldn’t it be great if there was a well trained  Dog Speech Trainer that could help our dogs increase their communications as well? It’s time to open the communications line between us and our four legged friends it’s time for Dog Speech Trainers.

Netanyahu Wins Obama Wins

It appears that the White House is betting on a Netanyahu loss for them to win in the Middle East but that is precisely the opposite policy they should follow.  For a Netanyahu victory will insure the Iranian deal their negotiating doesn’t turn out to to be a “Chamberlain Deal” which will destroy their legacy for good.  The administration could blame the failure of the talks (if a bad deal is made) on the interference of the Prime Minister and walk away from the table instead of selling the entire table.   If on the hand if the administration insists on formulating a poor deal then the Prime Minister will due what’s necessary without delay to stop Iran from developing the bomb. If  another Prime Minister wins he/she might be willing to give extra time for the Iranian deal which is what Hitler wanted when developing his arsenal, that resulted in a small conflict turning into a World War.  If the President truly is able to  a good deal with Iran then the Prime Minister would be the best man in his corner to support such a deal.  That is why either way the card is pulled from the deck Prime Minister Netanyahu victory is a victory for President Obama and the world.
