I got up bright and early Monday morning: 12:09am to be precise.
I immediately got cracking on the email Inbox, and that is now all caught up. I’ll be ready for a bright and shiny Monday workday.
It’s back to bed for me, of course.
So, I say, bring on the new projects. We’re ready.
UPDATE: It’s Monday morning, been pounding away for about a half-hour. Still caught up. Boooyah.
Here’s a little smidgin of sunshine. Willow has two little teeth coming through on the bottom. She can now demolish bread or banana slices.
She loves to wave hello or goodbye. She’s ever so good natured. She kicks her legs with excitement whenever a human she loves comes near. And that’s mostly everyone. When we sing hymns in church, she tries to sing along.
“I’ve written this book to explain why I think the system of Fed domination must come to an end.” –p4
As usual, I am overwhelmed with excitement to read a new book by Ron Paul. Weighing in at 210 pages, and only of modest page area, it is good for multiple reads. A dedicated reader can finish it in an afternoon, or a week in the lavatory. The hardback edition is under $13 on www.amazon.com I ordered three copies.
This book is more easily digestible, and more approachable that his previous works. A Foreign Policy of Freedom for example consists of mainly transcripts of his speeches on the House floor, without annotation or explanation. This is to my mind why Ron Paul was not overly successful two years ago. He doesn’t really fill in the back story, to understand him you have to be at least roughly familiar with certain documents (like the Constitution). Things that are obvious to him (like states’ rights) are not obvious to the average American.
End the Fed is really a misnomer. While that is certainly one of the main thrusts, the book deals with the basics of the banking system overall. The book could have well been called Sound Money.
Chapter 1 is entitled “Why you should care” and in plain language explains the connection between the life of the average Joe and the role of the Fed in manipulating money. This is not conspiracy theory. It’s not a bombastic tirade. It’s done in the tone of a detective presenting the facts to the victim of a burglary.
There is a healthy dose of folksiness in there. Ron Paul talks about his old coin collection, his grandmother’s land, his breakfast with the Fed Chairman. This is not contrived, it rather connects the dots in a memorable and human fashion. Sort of like chocolate chips in a cookie.
There is also a golden nugget in there that mimics a thought I’ve been having: the real problem is the very concept of Fractional Reserve Banking. The concept of banking (other than its role to warehouse commodities/money and facilitate transfers) is rotten to the core. If the common man understood it he would not take part in it. But that’s another topic.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book so far:
“If you solve the money monopoly problem by ending the Fed, you solve many other problems, too. Essentially you take away from the government the capacity to use financial trickery to expand without limit. It is the first step to restoring constitutional government. Without the Fed, the federal government would have to live within its means. It would still be too big and too intrusive, just like all state governments are today, but the outrageous empire at home and abroad would have to come to an end. There are other benefits as well, such as stopping the business cycle, ending inflation, building prosperity for all Americans, and putting an endo thte corrupt collaboration between government and banks that virtually defines the operations of public policy…” -p7
“For an answer [to the cause of centralization of power] we can turn to a monumental study published in 2006 by Spanish economist Jesus Huerta de soto. He places the blame on the very institution of fractional-reserve banking.” –p15
“Just so that we are clear: the modern system of money and banking is not a free-market system. It is a system that is half socialized– propped up by government– and one that could never be sustained as it is in a clean market environment. And this is the core of the problem.” –p18
“The market, or the black market if necessary, will always set the real prices of everything.” –p49
“Imagine an irresponsible teenager with an unlimited line of credit. The parents, teachers, pastors, and authorities in his life are ultimately powerless to change his habits. Now imagine that teenager armed to the teeth and also immune even from the rule of law. This is what we have with a government backed by a central bank.” –p67
“Very simply, there can’t be a more immoral system of money than tone based on a banking monopoly that can counterfeit money in secret with no oversight and protection of the people. The moral argument against the Fed[eral Reserve] should be enough for decently well-informed people to dispense with it posthaste.” –156
Anyone who follows this blog knows that I am not overly fond of banks. This is a reasonable position. I am still working on figuring out a system by which the common man can free himself in a practical and peaceable and legal manner. Every book I read gets me a step closer.

Gentle reader, I’m bored out of my skull. Things are caught up. Everything is assigned. I’m ready to set up new projects whenever you are.
I’ll be available Saturday for any matter.
Ho hum.
Tertiary Notes
I ordered three copies of End the Fed. That book is a delight. I’m scarfing it up. It’s about monetary policy. I highly recommend. It’s only $12 at Amazon. I have a few copies to give out if you want one with your order.
If you’re thinking of doing a Skaven army, just keep us in mind. I’m going to order a ton of them first thing and be ready to set up armies. We’ll have options for bulk discounts.
I just updated the Trade-in rates. For those that bother to read it to the end, you will notice that the rates are temporarily up noticeably, nearly double.
The value of second-hand figures on the market is about 40-60% of retail. It’s tough to get above that since online stores will typically discount as much as 30%. So, why haggle with a private individual when you can just pick what you want?
The thing to remember is that I am working with the secondary market as well, and I need to make a profit on top of that. Don’t get me wrong, the trade-ins can turn into a sweet deal. However, they can also go terribly, terribly wrong. Notably, I have bins upon bins of “scrap” models that are worthless except as base decoration. If that.
I have to be very picky with what I re-sell to clients. They have to be as-new condition.
Here are the trade-in rates for early Fall 2009. I’m offering service credit in trade for models.
Read this completely as I have recently improved several aspects of this program. Notably: I am now trading in army books. Also, you do not need to figure out the retail prices of your trade-in items.
.
NEW: we are also accepting as trade armies that BTP painted. The trade value will be much higher since it will account for the value of assembly/painting.
.
We will also pay cash. After the models arrive we’ll paypal you the agreed amount. The rate is generally $0.15 on the dollar (fifteen percent of retail).
.
You can usually get a much better deal going to the secondary market (local shop, ebay) on your own. However, the advantage of trading in with us is that you are likely to be able to unload disparate items without a lot of hassle (e.g. finding various buyers, setting up payment, lots of minor questions).
.
If you want to trade in, we need a list of what you have. You do NOT need to calculate the retail value, but it helps. Please tell me the condition (e.g. new in box, new on sprue, assembled, primed). The rates below are a multiplier. If the entry says 0.30 it means you would get $30 for $100 worth of retail items. Just take the retail total and multiply it by the number. You do not need to figure this out; you can just send in your list of stuff to
bluetablepainting@gmail.com .
.
I just know there’s someone who goes out to their garage, surveys the mass of unpainted models, sighs then turns out the light. This program will hopefully allow someone with the “white primer horde” to finally show up with a painted army. As an added bonus, your models will get a good home where they will be painted and loved.
.
We don’t need painted figures. Exception: if they only have a little bit done with them; not too thick, not too many layers. Primed models are OK, again not too thick. NEW: If you send painted models and they are un-useable because the paint/primer is on too thick, the trade value reverts to 0.10 (it’s actually almost zero). If this is the case I will inform you and you’ll have the option to get your models back.
.
You can also get a credit of at least $10 to help with your shipping costs. NEW: I will add this automatically as part of the quote.
.
If you want to trade-in figures, but don’t have a project ready, that’s OK, I will confirm your total and then you will have it on tap for when you want to use it.
.
This trade-in is recorded as a payment on your project. It is non-refundable except at our discretion (eg you can’t refuse the project and then get your trade-in amount refunded as cash). Trade-in can be applied to cost of models, assembly or painting as you wish. This means you can also just get models sent to you (this is limited to models that are commonly available, eg not Forge World).
.
Generally, we only need in-print models that are currently in production. . These rates and conditions may change so it is recommended to check in every once in a while. I am likely to update the numbers about once a month. The plan right now is to update every first of the month. Fairness is the guiding principle.
. Forge World 0.70
. Army books $8 credit (must be current edition, no OOP)
. Assault on Black Reach Models:
Complete set of orks $9 credit
Complete set of space marines $9 credit
Space Marine Dreadnought $5 credit
Small rulebook $4 credit
Template sprue (complete) $2 credit
. 40K 0.40
. Warhammer Fantasy 0.40
. Hordes 0.30
. War Machine 0.30
. Battlefleet Gothic 0.20
. Lord of the Rings 0.15
Please note that some armies might net more or less. Send me the list and I’ll tell you what’s up.
I woke up this morning bright and early. My ten year old daughter, K, was up before the crack of dawn watching TV. She gets herself ready for school, laying out her clothes the night before. She’s ever so responsible. Unlike her father. I slept in (well I guess if you call getting up at 8am sleeping in) and had to drive the kids to school. They got there on time.
I arrived at the studio parking lot at almost the exact same time as Sarah. She was still preening herself in her car. We got cracking on the day’s work. Three more packages of Space Hulk, each with custom foam, got out today. We ordered specialty boxes of just the right size. I still have five copies of Space Hulk on hand for clients who may want to get their painted copy of this soon to be discontinued game.
The big news is that I picked up an Eldar Type ii Cobra super-heavy Grav Tank. And a Scorpion Type ii Scorpion super-heavy Grav Tank. Both exquisite Forge World models, only $160 each if you want to commission either of them.
The studio Dark Elves army now has two gorgeous Hydras, absolutely beautiful creatures they are. I can’t wait to play them in a game.
This coming week, we are working on two huge tank projects, including an inquisitorial Warhound.
As usual, I’m ready to book any project. Let’s roll!
