Song about our age

I will try again to load the video of the tower tonight; it didnt load twice. here is a song from Sting. We are in the age of the Book of the Apocalypse. The book is about our present age when there is a struggle within our soul or mind which is the destruction of ignorance- the war is an allegory of what is  within us. When we open the 7 seals which is in the rod of Aaron or the spine we will achieve peace and happiness.  Sting Love is the 7th wave:

Mahendra was right FNMA is up

Mahendra Sharma, a Vedic astrologer has accurately predicted many events. He predicted FNMA going up and the recovery of the real estate market in 2012. FNMA is up to .32 from .24 a week ago. It has a long way to go. FMCC will also do the same.
  For the next 3 years US stocks will do very well until 2015 when China will start to drag the markets down. Shortly after 2015-- like 2016 natural disasters will further preassure the markets.
  Silver will hit tripple digits and USA stocks will rocket to all time highs 32000 is mentioned for the DJIA. Tech stocks will also do well. The dollar and silver will move together for a while but oil will eventually reach $300 per barrel but the inflation will be outpaced by the market. We will not have hyperinflation but I do not recommend holding cash. Silver is the metal of choice because it will far outpace gold in growth.

Progress on wooden part of tower

I finished the ramp to the top last week, i had a hard time getting the special treated lumber. This winter has been very mild.Video- Jan. 31st:

Tower 2012-2-8

One more level will go on the top at the corner. The level will be 6 by 7 feet and will be about 55 feet high at deck level- a 60 or more vantage point with an unobstructed view hopefully.
