Now that we have completed our move Reardan we are in the process of getting up and operating and beginning the patenting process of the updated SAFER Process as well as seeking local legal representation to provide the regulatory infrastructure for a significant equity private placement.


Because of SAFER Process applications in energy savings process drying and related agricultural opportunities, immediate focus will be on the designing of a SAFER Process pilot unit, until such time as a facility can be obtained to build a precious metals refinery as well ad build our redesigned air concentrators. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>PREFER Ltd is moving to Reardan&#x2c; Washington</title><dc:creator>info@preferltd.com</dc:creator><category>News</category><category>Corporate</category><dc:date>2011-11-09T17:13:47-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/news110911.php#unique-entry-id-26</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/news110911.php#unique-entry-id-26</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Plans are no progressing towards moving to the small rural community of Reardan a little over 20 miles west of Spokane.   We hope to begin the move late this month and be fully operational by January 2012. 


This new location should make it easier to build our precious metals mining and refining equipment which has been ready to build and test since early this year.   Reardan will also give us the opportunity to restart our SAFER (Solvent Applications For Ecological Remedies) process with applications in process drying, biohazard elimination and hazardous waste removal.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Brute&#x27;s Grizzly Bearish&#x2c; No Bull&#x2c; Plan for the USA</title><dc:creator>info@preferltd.com</dc:creator><category>Wonder Springs</category><dc:date>2011-08-26T13:05:00-07:00</dc:date><link>http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/brute082611.php#unique-entry-id-25</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/brute082611.php#unique-entry-id-25</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve&rsquo;s current two-fold mandate to pursue low inflation and job creation is rescinded and replaced with the goal of providing a strong dollar as the primary basis of national financial security. 

...Our Federal government&rsquo;s portion of national GDP will be reduced to 14 percent over a period of ten years.   During that period the national defense portion will be reduced to 2 percent of GDP, through the dismantling of the military-industrial-Keynesian-complex. 

...The current progressive income tax will be replaced with a standard flat tax rate on individuals and corporations of 20 percent, with the only exception and exemption for the poorest Americans.   This rate will continue until such time as the nation is again established on a sound financial debt-reduction basis. 

...Social Security and Medicare withholdings from individuals will be maintained at current levels, but the cap of total contributions on a yearly basis will be removed.   In pursuit of a sound dollar financial monetary policy, those funds will go into a true lock box concept, with no ability of the legislative and executive branches to use those funds; except as truly marketable and repayable investment bond securities. 


National catastrophic healthcare coverage will be instituted for all citizens and documented workers, being funded through a national sales tax on goods and services. ...  Within that program every individual will be responsible for the first $50,000 of the defined catastrophic illness or other healthcare event, except for what is currently defined as long-term care, where the maximum individual liability will be $100,000. ...  Over time this national tax will be reduced as current Medicare and Medicaid are gradually phased out over a period of twenty-five years.

...Our new deck material is constructed in such a way that it provides generous airflow, yet greatly decreased the potential for fine non precious metals to interfere with our fans and air pumps.   Some superfine precious metals and minerals may make that journey, but they are quite welcome because they are very valuable and something no water based concentrating system can segregate.


All this means we are ready, willing, and able to begin manufacturing and marketing our equipment, consulting and refining services (almost)!


The almost is that we need to find some accredited investors that would like to help us with this adventure. 


While it has been an interesting couple of years wandering the forests and mountains of Northeast Washington, the potential to develop the company in accordance with proper management arts and sciences require a move to where the people who can make PREFER happen, can live and easily visit.   After numerous excursions around the area, we have decided to pursue relocation in the city of Spokane Valley or the county east to the Idaho State line. 


...This was the first of such an opportunity we had to vote on this since the last time this progressive solution was tried in 1973.  

...Air concentration is the only economically viable process to decontaminate the nation&rsquo;s largest Superfund site in the Silver Valley, which begins across the state line and along Interstate 90 towards Montana.   Currently cleanup entails removal from contaminated areas and transporting it to less hazardous locations, until such time as the technology is available to recycle basically these very fine lead, zinc, and silver ores.

...What they end up is with barrels thru tons of black sand and have no way to really process that material, to actually get some gold that you can sell, to pay the expenses. 


...You can probably sell Naught 4 material but keep in mind the closer you get to Naught 1 the more technical the processes will become, but not necessarily more expensive or that difficult to learn provided you are not trying to process a whole mountain. 

...Lode processes can get much more complicated beyond the range of small operators, but you still should be able to produce concentrates that will be welcomed by the big boys of the mining industry, gold is gold the world around. 

...Since your gold is generally close to Naught -1 (3 to 5 times more dense than most of your gangue materials), you need to know what that gold size distribution will be. 

...I have only played around with small sluices in small streams, and never expected to find any real gold, but this I did discover; for every hour I actually ran the sluice, it took about and equal amount of time to keep the riffles clean and to then process that material to get to see if I really had any glittering results. 

...This has caused the development of a number of shaking tables that greatly reduce through put, and do a somewhat better job of getting rid of the lighter sands and rocks, but still need to be cleaned when the riffles are full of the heavier mineral materials. 


...In reality that is another 100 concentration factors, but you are now working with only one percent of the material you started with, hence your next equipment can be one-tenth the size of your first process.


...It is really a self cleaning sluice where the iron balls are fluidized by a quiescent flow of water flowing up through the balls and allow the gold, black sand and other dense minerals to collect at the bottom for further processing. 

...If the majority of your gold is on the fine side of your gold size continuum, it will however produce buckets, barrels or tons of black sand that need to be processed to get you to Naught 2 or 3 gold which can be sold, or refined to Naught 1 or even Naught-Naught.

To salvage the rest of the program and in a final attempt to dig to bedrock, Dakota Fred, is able to borrow a six inch pump, coupled with the team&rsquo;s four inch model, these are able to keep ahead of the threatening flood into the glory hole. ...  While the fall rains have started in southeast Alaska, creek flows should be still closer to summer lows than the spring run-off, so should they adventure back next spring it will be more than interesting what they will find and how they intend to combat that reality. 


...The team is elated, as best as we can guess, they are down well over a quarter of a million dollars and really have only returned a little over 7 percent of what they have poured into the Gold Rush dream. 

...I personally was wondering why, with the concentrates from the clean-out the team decides to pan what they have, rather than use the Black Gold Magnetic Separator the one piece of equipment on site that seems to have done the job it was designed to do.   Perhaps it is just that the team is not comfortable with technology and would rather be just the stars of a very successful reality show, where they have continued to impress people with their continual desires for failure.


...With the fuel Jack is able to maybe dig another five feet, but then comes the snowy weather and the water begins to cave in around the excavator and he just manages to dig the big machine out of the hole, before they call it quits for the season. 


...We are left to wonder just what kind of winterizing they were able to do, since we learn at the end of the show, next week we will indeed be an epilogue in which the Hoffmans will explain what when wrong and how they are going to hit the mother lode during the coming Gold Rush: Alaska fall season.


...One thing that didn&rsquo;t come out in this final episode is the reality, that we have mentioned previously, and that is the fact that gold concentrates itself, if we and mother nature would just get all that other stuff out of the way. 


...Could it be that the 8.5 ounces they obtained as they finally ran out of time was not so much more gold being deposited as they dug deeper, but the gold just doing its thing.

Once you get rid of all that gangue or waste material, then and only then can you really begin to design a process to get your values out of what is left. 

...I for one would rather automate the process and go have a cup of coffee and maybe a donut, while the magnetic separator does its thing and we come back and pick up the gold and other potentially valuable minerals and package the magnetite to either be used as a sand blasting material, or processed or recycled into the steel industry.  


...As I was thinking about this, I thought maybe, because most of this gold is the size of mustard seeds (canola) and below, we could use the seeds as a crowding agent as well as biofuel, to act as an energy source and a flux, to help create dore bars that then could be refined later. 

...In this particular case instead of beans, the material was scheelite (tungsten) tailings with a value of $2 per ton, then when they came out the other end of the process, they had a value of $2000 per ton, at Great Depression prices. 

...In other words, of a banker that I have continually tried to make famous, &ldquo;A gold mine is a hole in the ground you pour money into, until you have no money left.&rdquo; is a true gold fever paradigm. 


...If it is your own claim, or you can live with a high degree of risk, this investment should take place in pay as you go increments, not bet the company before you get to the site. 


...Many of those claims if properly developed might not make you rich, but just like the Alaska: Gold Rush team, it can be a well paying job, when no one will give you even a bad job. 


...With air processing and concentration, we can take out the polluting minerals and make money out of them, or place them back in rock like formations, potentially less environmentally hazardous than the way they now exist in nature.


Next week we get to see the final episode of Gold Rush: Alaska, but keep in mind that this current world economic environment will continue, without the television cameras, and some people will make decent living, by understanding natural resource material handling and science. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Gold Rush: Alaska &#x2014; Discovery Channel Review (Episode 8: Bad Blood)</title><dc:creator>info@preferltd.com</dc:creator><category>Gold Rush</category><dc:date>2011-02-07T04:40:57-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/GRA-DC020711.php#unique-entry-id-19</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/GRA-DC020711.php#unique-entry-id-19</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[It seems, at least the way the video is being edited, the only person on site that has any clue on what is going on, as it relates to the mining operation, is the team&rsquo;s &ldquo;mechanical genius&rdquo; James Harness.   The rest of them seem to think, if we just put some rocks in the front and runs some water around with it, every now and then when something breaks down, we will clean out the plant and take out the gold, and then be completely dumbfounded why there isn&rsquo;t any.


We learned this week that Fred Dakota, the expert that the claim owner put on site to save the operations, doesn&rsquo;t know significantly more than the Oregon team, and has an arrogant personality to make a bad situation worse. 


...Sure enough, this time they find a real gold nugget that looks like it might run three quarters of an ounce and a total of 3.4 ounces of gold, bringing the total take for the season, according to their understanding of just $7770, on a this week reported investment of $270,000.  


...During Episode 7: Going for Broke, team leader Todd bought some steel in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada to improve the sluice coming out of the wash plant leading to the trommel screen and a similar expanded metal upgrade to the outwash from the trommel to the jig. 


...If we remove the volume of the riffle bars that leaves us with a nugget trap volume of 144 - 36 = 108 x 1 x 36 = 3888 cubic inches, or 2.25 cubic feet, or 16.8 gallons, 8.3 percent of a cubic yard.


...Because of the spacing of the riffle bars, the only materials less than an inch can be caught in the riffles, and until those riffles fill up with material, this will be some mixture of 1 inch minus, then all the rest will flow out into the trommel screen. 


...Depending on turbulence and the varying size of the feed material, if 10 percent of the wash plant&rsquo;s feed is inch minus and the water flow through the nugget trap is perfect, the nugget trap could have some minor amount of gold and be full of worthless rock and sand in less than one yard of processed material. 

...Once those riffles were full, found by panning the tailings for black sand, the speed was decreased so that the gold and black sand washed out, so it could be processed separately, much like the Porcupine Creek jig should operate.


Back to Alaska, we really have no way of knowing why the wave table didn&rsquo;t function properly, but a good reasonable guess is that they fed it too much material and-or used too much water. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Gold Rush: Alaska &#x2014; Discovery Channel Review (Episode 7: Going For Broke)</title><dc:creator>info@preferltd.com</dc:creator><category>Gold Rush</category><dc:date>2011-02-03T05:49:39-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/GRA-DC013111.php#unique-entry-id-18</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/GRA-DC013111.php#unique-entry-id-18</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Last week we said that it looked like the team should be able to run a better operation by just going to one of the numerous gold trade shows around the West, or reading a placer mining book from the library or purchased online. 

...At pure spot prices today that yields a little over 11 thousand oz.; scattered somewhere over 160 acres that were high graded and worked in the 1980s, earlier this century, and with no knowledge of what took place on this specific claim a century ago. 

...As the team does a significant redo on the wash plant, that should have been part of the original do, we can see that the 2.7 oz. that they have thus far achieved is probably due to stupid luck rather than skill or something unheard of in this program, &ldquo;science.&rdquo; 


...So if they indeed have fixed the operation, perhaps it might be a good idea to reprocess what they have already run, rather than continuing to search for the glory hole someplace below the Porcupine Creek water table and above the bed rock. 


Earl Foster wants the team to wash the material before it goes through the grizzly, which really makes no sense, since the feed material they are now processing comes from below the water table and is washed by definition.   Furthermore, any of this fine gold, that may be washed into the sluices is probably fine enough to remain in that 5 percent they are never going to capture with their current wash plant setup.   As we stated last week it would be better to size the material dry, and stack it on impermeable surfaces and let Mother Nature do the washing over time and collect and process this very fine material with more suitable technology. 


...Since these materials would settle with the biggest particles at the bottom and finer clays at the top, these compacted clays would have a tendency not to be easily washed away and to even out later flood flows so that the decreased flood velocities would allow the heavier gold particles to settle at the interface between the flood and the clay. 

...So at the close of the episode, the team has blown through $250,000 of their initial funds, maxed out their credit cards, and borrowed another $25,000 from Todd&rsquo;s sister.   This should take them close to the end of the mining season and if something works out, by the time the next mining season rolls around, they might, just might, be able to take a shot at another season and regain some of their lost capital.

...Even if the claim owner believes that this is an honest estimate and is not out to take advantage of the greenhorns from Oregon, are the values really there, in a place that looks from the pictures we have seen &mdash; to be far from an original wilderness landscape.


For equipment and operations, I have seen nothing about the way the processing equipment is set up that I would choose, or would I operate the present equipment in the way the team has decided to operate their plant. 


...Therefore instead of the wash plant, I would start with a dry topsoil screen plant and only run material through the sluice and the jig that would be gold bearing material. 

...There maybe some very fine gold that may stick to the larger gravels, but they will never be captured in the plant as constructed, and with an impermeable barrier beneath the stack, this very fine gold could be collected through natural forces over time.   


...When it comes to the jig, you need enough water flow up through the bottom of the jig to fluidize the materials passing through the ball bearings, balanced with the flow running across the jig. 

...My guess is from what little we have seen of the plant operations, is that too many of the values in the processed material is in their tailings, and they still don&rsquo;t have a way to properly process the black sand they have collected.


...It is only logical that once the moss is full of fine material and the nugget trap is full of whatever, nothing else is going to be captured.   It would take very little expense and effort to fill the whole sluice with bars running parallel with the water flow and over the miners moss, to collect the heavier materials, but once these areas are full of denser materials it is time to clean the system. 


It would seem that we have six Gold Rush: Alaska members who are so infected with Gold Fever that they haven&rsquo;t read a book on placer mining, or even attended a gold show, but yet are presumptive enough to risk it all for the chance to strike it rich. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Gold Rush: Alaska &#x2014; Discovery Channel Review (Episode 5: The Pain Barrier)</title><dc:creator>info@preferltd.com</dc:creator><category>Gold Rush</category><dc:date>2011-01-17T11:40:58-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/GRA-DC011711.php#unique-entry-id-16</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/GRA-DC011711.php#unique-entry-id-16</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The interesting thing about reality television is trying to figure out how reality is cut in the video editing, to make a show, and perhaps how the money involved in the program itself actually may make its way into the production. 


...The fact that they tried to build the bottom deck of the shaker out of 1/8 inch steel and then how they tried to bolt it to the shaker frame doesn&rsquo;t so much show the problem with used equipment, but more the mechanical expertise of everyone involved on the team. 

...In the little time they ran, we did see that they do use miner&rsquo;s moss in their sluice, but it is really just a couple of small pieces held in place with a single piece of large hole expanded metal. ...  Unless the flow is somewhat related to the size of gold you are trying to capture, most of the gold will just be washed into the jig and then possibly through the whole process itself. 


From the beginning of the show we were told that the team had enough working capital to run for three months, they are now two months into the program and seem to have not recovered enough gold to buy dinner in a cheap restaurant for the whole team. 


In another hit show, &ldquo;Sarah Palin&rsquo;s Alaska&rdquo; their family recovered more gold, in a few hours, from a rented sluice on the beach at Nome, carrying sand in five gallon buckets, than this mining adventure has recovered in two months and close to $200,000 invested. 


...Of course they have only been able to run a few hours total in their months of labor, but it does bring into question, how are they going to get the gold out of the concentrate they produce from their miners cloth and the duplex jig?


...So far we have seen nothing that would be classified as a gold nugget, and even in an unregulated water flow process, if there were any nuggets available they should have been saved. 


...Depending upon the size and the quantity of the gold, somewhere along that particle size continuum, surface tension of the water becomes a factor, as really fine gold particles can float upon the water, much like the needle you floated on a glass of water when in middle school. 


Our PREFER Ltd. high intensity magnetic separation system does the same thing, without water and uses various crowding agents to make sure that the magnetic magnetite is removed without entailing the fine gold as the magnetics are removed, and then the crowding agents are either dissolved, or removed as weakly magnetic materials and reused.

...Before they can get really started however, the Man from Alaska Fish and Wildlife closes their flume from the creek, because it might entrap the small salmon during various stages of their development.   To counter this they have to install an electric pump with a small enough screen to keep out the small fish and pump the water about 250 feet to their processing pond. 

...It is interesting that nothing was said about the water discharge from the plant, which we may meet again before we get to the end of the series. 

...Any fine material discharge to the water source will foul the fish spawning beds and probably have a much more significant impact upon the fish runs than any small fish that get pumped through the system. 


...Out of the 100 cubic yards of material the crew was hoping to process per day, because of the compacted nature of their starting material the team generates more waste than which they started. 

...What this means is all of these deposits will have quite a bit of material which is probably best described as rock flower, more descriptively as glacial muck and clay. 


...With the proper flow through the jig, the gold and other heavier minerals will slowly be entrapped in the iron balls in the turbulent flow area and fall into the laminar area below the balls, eventually concentrating below the jig water flow source. 

...Most of this stuff will have to be fine tuned when you begin operating any plant, but you need to understand the scientific principles involved, and continually monitor the results because your source material will change somewhat continually. 


...All this will occur because the team all believes there is $15 million in gold on the claim and they will get about 7 percent of it in the next couple of months.

...If you never succumb to the Gold Fever disease, the funny thing about precious metals investments, especially as they relate to extraction and processing from the earth, it truly is an opportunity to achieve true wealth in a bankrupt world, and maintain that wealth without ever having to worry about the affairs of man.


...In that respect in virtually all the locations where water is present, placer deposits have been worked at least once, in some locations maybe two or three times.   If someone tells you that such a claim has never been worked, either someone tried and found no gold, or it has been worked, more than likely to a certain depth of say 25 feet.


...From the show it seems that the Gold Rush team, infected with Gold Fever, presumption and desperation, just took the word of claim owner Earl Foster, without ever even visiting the property. 

...For their adventure it seems that the Gold Rush team were as well equipped as could be expected for a group a greenhorns, except it seems that none of them have any real knowledge on what they would be doing to get the Gold.


So you have six unemployed, semi and skilled general operations people, who are going to live in peace and harmony, out in the Alaska wilderness, along with a number of their children, planning to placer mine gold, with the major processing equipment being home built, to extract raw gold, of some size, somewhere on a hundred and sixty acres. 


...Now if the claim has been worked before by people who &ldquo;didn&rsquo;t have the right (meaning big) equipment, that means that as long as they just process the previously mined material, it will be a very long and very expensive summer. 


To the Gold Rush team&rsquo;s benefit, they made a deal for the duplex jig, which will measurably cut losses, but since they bought it from the claim owner Earl Foster, that means he has probably used it on the claim and found it easier to let someone else do the heavy work. 


...This is especially true in water systems where the density between the particles and the water fluid is limited, but has less effect when using air, because air has a density of virtually zero.

I also had the opportunity to walk away from one in particular where the expert, had read a couple of mining adventure tales, looked through a Keene catalog, and was now a mining expert, at least in the context of how nothing was ever going to work out, so you might just as well take your bear protection gun and blow out your brains!


Well, I guess I&rsquo;m exaggerating a bit, but the reality is, in no other &ldquo;legal&rdquo; industry does spin, fraud, and outright lies, construct such a fascinating background.   So welcome to a new place where we might not have all the answers, but the whole PREFER business model is forged around the concept of doing things differently than what has been done before. 

...When you look at mining, especially in precious metals, all that has changed is essentially economies of scale, bigger is all there is.   But the reality is just as with all the gold rushes in the past, the opportunity for the little guy to do all right has never been greater, and you must be able to make it work on a pay as you go basis. 


When God made the world, he put virtually all of it in small deposits, that by rat race standards can make you rich and provide you the opportunity to do the things you always wanted to do.   If that Mother Lode dream seems too risky to you, you can help us develop the modern shovels and larger equipment to help others achieve that opportunity. 


One way not to do any of this, is to follow the example of the folks who are the principals in The Discovery Channel&rsquo;s &ldquo;Gold Rush Alaska.&rdquo; ...  According to the marketing hype, this is the most popular cable show of the season and since the first three episodes provide an excellent backdrop on how stupid a bunch of tenderfeet can be, I thought it would be a good idea to watch the next seven episodes give some insights that might help you dazzle your friends with your vast placer mining knowledge.

With the closing of the natural and development frontiers and the maturation of the Industrial Age, this process shifted to more professional methods of wealth management rather than wealth creation.   By its very nature this focus quenches invention and only allows innovation within limits of security deemed appropriate to those willing to play the game by basically arbitrary and capricious rules.   Rules, as such, are always accompanied by consequences, the most damaging are unintended. 


Through specialization and simplification of the true natural reality of human potential to a world of rules, regulations, and stagnation, we continue this enterprise illusion through trying to create applications for politically correct terms such as sustainability, markets, globalism, egalitarianism and social justice. 


Putting today into the context of an old nursery rhyme, "All the king's horses (the captains of capitalism) and all the king's men (his governmental regulators and bureaucrats) lack the expertise to put Humpty Dumpty together again.&rdquo;   That reality still doesn't keep them from trying, using all the sticky tape, glue and incantations they can come up with.


...Into that world of noise and chaos enters a wild and crazy entrepreneurial idea &mdash; why don't we begin with some new eggs, and see what kinds of birds will hatch, not just chickens, ducks, and geese, but song birds, eagles, lest we forget a few rattlesnakes too. 


Applying a little invention, we can also develop a new breed of human entrepreneur, who is trained to understand and work within the natural laws that God has given us, thereby creating from the redux of the fallen, basically ex nihilo frontier of the true future wealth creation. 


Herein is described just a small one egg effort to in Providing Resourceful Energetics For Economic Renaissance. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Next Stop: Serfdomville</title><dc:creator>info@preferltd.com</dc:creator><category>Moola</category><dc:date>2010-09-29T21:11:26-07:00</dc:date><link>http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/nextstopserfs092910.php#unique-entry-id-10</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/nextstopserfs092910.php#unique-entry-id-10</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I have been told that for many years he closed the business between Christmas and New Years and took his employees and families on an all expense paid vacation somewhere, but that came to an end when he had to declare that vacation as income on the employees revenue tax returns, so he decided to give them the money instead.


...I fully agree with Michael McKean&rsquo;s words at the beginning of this article: "I'm no fan of the banks bailout and TARP, but the ability for a business like mine to get capital has been insanely difficult."


...My career move that would give me some breathing room, basically changed from potential retirement years in the future to, &ldquo; We have a week of work in Atlanta, and two weeks in Chicago, and then there might be something in Denver, but we won&rsquo;t know for a while. 

...Through this Canadian broker contact, I was referred to a specific lawyer at the most prestigious law firm in Canada, had met with a couple of (then) big five accounting firms that wanted my business, and had met brokers from other brokerage houses that might help me find an existing public shell which would save the initial upfront expenses.


It was on Friday afternoon, after me and a broker from one of the small brokerage houses had spent most of the day calling on potential acquisitions, to no avail, he mentioned to me that there were 2000 venture companies on the VSE, 1980 weren&rsquo;t worth a (expletive deleted). 

...That is what he said, and somewhat watching the markets in this current financial upheaval, the old &ldquo;Random Walk Down Wall Street,&rdquo; seems just as plausible to be people playing Monopoly with free Monopoly money leverage, brought to them by the Federal Reserve and the United States Treasury.


I never was able to raise that $100k, nor find that shell company, so when I ran out of my own money and what my mother was willing to give me, I decided to close down the company for some time that might present itself in the future when I was older, wiser, and knew what to do with all that money in the form of true wealth. 


...But that doesn&rsquo;t mean some of us can&rsquo;t get off the train, and take steps to create opportunities for individuals to create wealth the old fashioned way, by the free market that is truly free from crony capitalism and bureaucratic governments, which really don&rsquo;t want change you can believe in, but rather change that secures continued insecurity.


...It doesn&rsquo;t work even on Wall Street, it surely doesn&rsquo;t work on Main Street where the risks are harder to quantify, more real market forces are at work, and true entrepreneurs have been bred out of the culture by leveraged real estate and excessive debt throughout the economy.


If this country is unable to come up with some method to get true equity into the backbone of the nation, our Main Street and entrepreneurial small businesses, the United States will come apart like a broken egg, and using one of our frequent metaphors, all the kings horses and all the kings men will not be able to put the whole country together again. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Freedom from my own bondage</title><dc:creator>info@preferltd.com</dc:creator><category>News</category><dc:date>2010-07-04T07:39:38-07:00</dc:date><link>http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/freefmbondage070410.php#unique-entry-id-9</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/freefmbondage070410.php#unique-entry-id-9</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[As a founding principle, personal freedom was defined basically as I am free to be what I was created to be and no wrongly appropriated divine right of some foreign authority has any jurisdiction on my ability to pursue that goal.   Today we have dumbed-down that concept to mean I am free to what makes me feel good about myself and I should receive external rewards to help me achieve those ends.


Those rewards might be a trophy, or pay just for showing up on a somewhat regular basis, or receiving a right to something such as healthcare, a pension, or other security, simply because I did nothing or very little to deserve those rewards. 

...What we are no longer willing to believe is that the greatest freedom a human being can obtain in this life is to be free from the bondage to my own selfish desires. ...  Succinctly stated, that means the sinless life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the propitiatory and justifying sacrifice that absolutely provides the freedom for me to pursue the eternal personality I was created by God to be.


...Instead of stating, &ldquo;There by the grace of God, go I.&rdquo; the proper response should be, &ldquo;There by the grace of God alone, can I find true freedom from my personal bondage.&rdquo;   That is a much different and more humble message, than, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t, do this and that, because I can,&rdquo; but rather, &ldquo;Any ability I have to do anything other than the wickedly perverse, is nothing but a gift of God&rsquo;s grace.&rdquo;


On this Independence Day, this Sunday, what this means is that the focus should be on the redemption and justification found in Jesus Christ alone, and not the national debt, socialism, and a whole host of good or bad things. 

...The result of the American revolution was freedom from the bondage of the culture to a foreign monarch, but the more profound result was the freedom of the individual to more deeply appreciate the gift of life provided to all  from the God of nature, who is the same eternal personality as the God of the Bible.  


...The really blessed will be those who understand that true freedom, is to not be in bondage to your personal desires, but rather to make your life a gift to others, by God&rsquo;s grace. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Redux Rendezevous web site launced in conjunction with the Wonder Springs Chroncile</title><dc:creator>info@preferltd.com</dc:creator><category>News</category><dc:date>2010-06-04T13:03:10-07:00</dc:date><link>http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/reduxrende060410.php#unique-entry-id-8</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.preferltd.com/preferblog/files/reduxrende060410.php#unique-entry-id-8</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The Wonder Springs Chronicle in cooperation with PREFER Ltd, have launched a new Redux Rendezvous website.

...	&bull;	We now have two clients that seem to have profitable mining properties here in Northeastern Washington.   Both of them do need financing to do statistically valid sampling, drilling, and testing to determine process parameters and overall property feasibility. 


	&bull;	We have achieved a breakthrough in the design of our pneumatic concentrating bed over our designs from the 1980s.   This development, when the engineering is complete, greatly enhances the scaling possibilities of the tables to be enlarged to handle increased capacity, and also to process greater size distributions without significant equipment modifications.


	&bull;	Finally, today we now have up and running the Deep Woods Moola website, a subsidiary adventure with a broad based fiscal perspective.   We look forward to creating lasting wealth and then using that wealth to provide for other natural enterprise development ventures.   The Moola tab on the site has currently eight re-enterprising discussion topics to bring positive and sustainable financial change in the United States and other countries. 


	&bull;	Our proprietary precious metals refining process requires only a suitable location to build and operate our pilot unit. 

...Please feel free to contact us if you would be interested in becoming involved in any of these opportunities.
