There are churches who host mansions for their clerical team, which have $35,000 gold plated or marble toilets!     [There was a sense that this (toilet) was an abomination and that St Peter; in person would be in a flying rage over such an icon of debauchery.  A lavish charade, vanity of vanities or something held in mockery, similar to the Pentagon's $7,000 toilet seat management efficiency level -in a church.   I somehow seriously doubt he would use it to discharge his bowels in and would question; being an expensive ornament in a church rectory, do they bow down to it as they pass by? Perhaps they store their Treasure in it. He would probably stand there and rant until it was gone. He might even suggest the same silver-tongued devil that bought it could take it back for a refund with a few scratches and dents and give that money to the poor and needy! The class level contrasts I've noted in West Coast States are classic, almost like in France].

   The November 2007 period was highly active and brought new concepts, including actually trying out setting up an energy efficient housing project using half buried shipping container combos, connected ad jointly with a common area with view and windows, with the dirt mounded over the top for insulation located in a high wind or high solar area with either solar panels or a windmill generator and float charger system, TV Dish, etc...  This experiment could be conducted in known safe areas safe from earthquake & fire damage and located 30 to 90 miles from population areas. $10-30K with plumbing varying...

It's OK for cities like Las Vegas to pay for the generation of electricity and use it. I personally notice that Homeowner's associations, these blue-blooded property managers prohibit clothes lines requiring artificial drying indoors with more electricity and gas. Clothes lines can be classy and we could think in terms of how many extra tons of soot get thrown into the air due to each missing clothesline! Talk about leaving a carbon footprint. Not even mentioning how many hair driers there may be in Las Vegas. How about air conditioner units? All for making an artificial oasis in the middle of a hot desert, an arid region where all the lakes have evaporated centuries ago. Where are the miles and square miles of solar panels on all the open space around Vegas? How many light bulbs do you think there are in Vegas? Hydropower demand is causing water usage at a faster rate than drought allows replenishment,  an inevitable scenario is forthcoming as this water is now a finite resource with respect to the ratio of depletion. Sixty to ninety feet is a lot of water level. This cycle is going for possibly a few more decades.

Now an old photo -the bathtub ring grows bigger and deeper daily  without recourse. The reservoir above this one was nearly in a dead-pond status where water has to be pumped up to move on. Actual thoughts about removing the dam above this one? A shifting of the Earth's waters after global warming might trigger yet new unknown surprises?   Forty year cycles? - this will come to overflow again. Will it? Will our grand kids walk over this dam and see only a stream in the bottom?  As the winds come to blow-dry everything the windmills come to turn, produce and prosper. Ghost Town? Could Solar be the silver lining?  Mile after square mile of extra housing sprang up during the housing boom in the southwest. Yep that's right; there are no clotheslines allowed in any of these new condos. Las Vegas could benefit from setting up miles and square miles of solar panels in a location near Boulder Dam and it's power lines to larger metro areas all over the U.S.   Las Vegas could readily become employed as a solar power center and sustain itself in the decades to come. Nice hot deserts are cool when it comes to an abundance of solar power, location and resources! In December 2009 there were 44,600 laid off union workers alone in Las Vegas, condo projects still with scaffolding surrounding them, stalled in skeletal unfinished form for at least over a year. Some casinos are moving towards completion after major business dog-pile consolidations of Nevada's cats and dogs.   Our business was also down when we played in the clubs due to the housing status -Vegas, a Mecca for third-party vendors is probably the worst hit, having the biggest bubble followed by the biggest collapse. Piles of applications are now stacked for food service jobs and core street merchants.  Now we've done all our footwork in Las Vegas and conduct business there from our Colorado studios. .  Speculators have boasted on buying up 3-condos for $150K. I think Clark County is going to be the only winner through property taxes. People fold on their homes after years of pymts, move into a rental and 3-5 months later have defaulted and begin to move again through the 6-week eviction processes then they go back to where they came from - looking back on Lady Luck in her grandeur, bright lights and big city entertainment.  My escort and limousine service is suffering due to the recession.

 Taking advantage of previously undesirable wind or high solar areas, creating new opportunities.   Communities could also be located in an active quake area like Yucca Valley for quick commuting, designed to withstand the worst quake on record. After an earthquake, a couple of skip-loaders would have everything straightened up in a few days after man learns to adapt to his surroundings and to harness that which could not be changed; that power will brighten the future. Who knows what’s next, maybe a new means of harnessing earthquake energy and converting it into electricity! Humorous, but It’s there whether we harness it or not. Hydrogen fusion? I have a feeling the key to unlocking its potential will be found to have been there all along and its principles and processes so simple. Maybe when they have a blown out underwater oil well, they could inject oxygen or peroxide and burn it off at the point of exit lest 1/3 of all the seas become as blood..

     With commercial transportation & commuting and proper location planning this Container Town concept could turn waste space into low cost affordable housing or refuge in months; preplanned, dirt cheap.  I am actually considering this as my next home. (There is an option better than the street).

     (Is it easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? ...The lessons given to this ministry revealed this syndrome applies to some personality types but not all.  Wealth in today's free capitalist society symbolizes accomplishment, inventiveness & efficiency in business management. Entrepreneurs become well established by offering an attractive product or service, like the Internet!  In a free society; deceit is a pitfall).

     Greed is the Evil word or practice in focus. The mission and goal of Churches is to help the poor and those in need in their area and extend their generosity as far beyond as possible.  I personally intend to bring forth a musical gospel ministry and set up a 501C dedicated to homeless organizations and identify with 85% of the World's population. ...When helping the homeless and those who hunger, remember the parable regarding giving a man a fish and feeding him for one day, or teaching him to fish and feeding him for a lifetime...

   I think St Peter may judge the churches by the percentage of their tithing actually reaching the homeless. Not by how big their hierarchy or their timbre.

Aquifers Depletion will inevitably come into play and hit with standing room only crowds in the next generations to come.

I'm interested in trying an experiment involving 1/3 mile long wires placed 6 inches above the ground and charged with 500KC. There are reports the energy accumulation from the Earth is increased by 6-times.
