Microsoft Update

Whoever is in charge of determining what is a critical update, and what is not a critical update does not work with computers, has never run a computer lab or in charge of a large computer system. I do not think that him/her/they have ever build a image of a computer. A person should be able to download the updates and walk away and come back after 63 updates have been downloaded and installed... simple you think. But "NO" in Microsoft's infinite wisdom the "windows validation," has been determined to be a critical update, but for the update to install a person had to manually install the update. So in the process of downloading and installing 63 updates I leave and return expecting the updates are installed and I can install the next set up updates; NOT THE CASE. I have to say "ok" install the "microsoft validation tool" thus wasting my time. And IE Explorer 8 SHOULD NOT BE A CRITICAL UPDATE. The are educational sites and other web sites that IE 8 cannot display right. I have 14 computer labs all with different missions, running different applications, and Microsoft thinks that I need IE 8 in all my labs. If I needed IE 8 then I would download it, and install on my computers, but I do not need it. A person should be able to start the download of critical updates, walk away, return in 15 to 20 minutes and verything should be done; nothing to more to do.

Why Why Why

Obama Care

Obama care is nothing about creating a healthy living environment for people, it is just another way of control; government controling people. If the Obama administration was so concerned; health care would start now, not for 4 to 5 years from now, but the taxes start now and we get 17,000 more IRS agents to impliment this health care feasco. You would think that the Health and Human Services department would be in charge -- no the IRS, so this nothing more then about money and power over people. All through history there are people who want to control other people for what ever reason. Now there is the ranking Democratic stating that in the end of all this social engineering is power.

United States of America is now the UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA.

Galileo

"On the morning or Wednesday, June 22, 1633 Galileo knelt before the tribunal and obediently declared:I, Galileo, son of the late Vincinzio Galileo, Florentine, aged seventy years, arraigned personally before this tribunal and kneeling before you, Most eminent and Lord Cardinals Inquisition-General against heretical pravity throughout the entire Christian Commonwealth, having before my eyes and touching with my hands the Holy Gospels, swear that I have always believed, do believe, and with God’s help will in the future believe all that is held, preached and taught by the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. But, whereas, after an injunction had been lawfully intimated to me by this Holy Office to the effect that I must altogether abandon the false opinion that the sun is the center of the world and immobile, and that the earth is not the center of the world and moves, and that I must not hold, defend, or teach, in any way, verbally or in writing, the said false doctrine, and after it had been notified to me that the doctrine was contrary to Holy Scripture, I wrote and printed a book in which I treated this new doctrine already condemned and brought forth arguments in its favor without presenting any solution for them, I have been judged to be vehemently suspected of heresy, that is, of having held and believed that the sun is the center of the world and immobile and the earth is not the center and moves.

Therefore, desiring to remove from the minds of Your Eminences, and of all faithful Christians, this vehement suspicion rightly conceived against me, with sincere heart and unpretended faith I abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors and heresies and also every error, error and sect whatever, contrary to the Holy Church, and I swear that in the future I will never again say or assert verbally or in writing anything that might cause a similar suspicion toward me; further, should I know any heretic or person suspect of heresy, I will denounce him to this Holy Office or to the Inquisitor of heresy, I will denounce him to this Holy Office or to the Inquisitor of Ordinary of the place where I may be…" (The Discovers; Boorstein, page 325-326)

Nothing has changed in 400 years. There is scientific fact and the Church still does not accept it instead believing false ideas that can be proven wrong. The Church is not about what is the truth; it is still about power, money, and controlling people though a false belief system.

Book of Five Rings

I was watching a show on the History Channel the other night and it was about what the Japanse consider the greatest Samurai warrior of all time; Miyamoto Musashi. Near the end of his life he wrote a book called "Book of 5 Rings." Basically a philosophy by which a person conducts their interactions with other people and an individual strategy to live your life. Here are some basic points from his book:

1. Do not think dishonestly.
2. The Way is in training.
3. Become aquainted with every art.
4. Know the Ways of all professions.
5. Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters.
6. Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything.
7. Perceive those things which cannot be seen.
8. Pay attention even to trifles.
9. Do nothing which is of no use.

Continental Drift

The North and South Americans contients are moving away from Africa esimated at 1cm to 10 cm per year. That means that if the earth was 6000 years old x 10cm (take the biggest amount)/year = 60,000 cm's. Converting this to km = .6 km. That means that if you live on the west coast of Africa you should be able to throw a rock onto South America; if the Earth is 6,000 years old.

Afghan War

Today marks the 1000th Soldier to die in the Afghanistan War. When Presendent Bush was in Office I remember the outrage from Dingy Harry ( and other Democratic figures), Code Pink, and various people or organizations the decrying the waste of life. So, where is the outrage now? War is different now? If you are againest war, then you are againest war. It does not matter what political party in is office, but I guess that is not true.

Genisis

I was watching a show on the History Channel the other night "Decoding the Past," and the show was about the Creation Story in the Bible and how there seems to be 2 different accounts in the first 3 chapters of Genisis. The first 5 books of the Bible were written about 1400 BC (somewhere in that time period) a 1000 years before Genisis was written there was the "Epic of Gilamesh" which is a Sumerian legend . The Epic of Gilamesh is a collection of poems and stories about a mythological hero-king named "Gilamesh," the Epic contains a creation story (which was a 7 day duration), and world flood story, and a snake. The show went on to explain that later civilizations took the "gods" of previous civilizations and then demonized the gods; hence in the Biblical creation story the snake is evil, because in the Epic of Gilamesh the snake was a "good guy." Basically the Biblical creation story is a copy from the Sumerian story.

Jewish Rabbis state that there are tensions in the Old Testement and the difference between the two creation stories is such a tension. The Rabbis then form some kind of groups ( I forget what they call them ) the purpose of the group is to explain the apparent difference between the "tensions" in the Old Testement. Apparently there were two women that God created: first there was "Lilith", and then "Eve." In the first creation account God created Adam and Lilith from the ground, in essence equall to each other. A fight accured between Adam and Lilith over sex. Adam said that copulation could only accure between them in the "missionary" position, but Lilith did not agree with that assesment by Adam. Lilith said "I want to have sex with you, but I want to be on top," Adam did not agree with that, thus a fight broke out between them. Lilith, flew off to go and have sex with the fallen Angels, creating the giants referenced by the Old Testement. Lilith is also reference in the Gilamesh myth, which would indicate that idea of Lilith was copied by the writters of Genisis. In the second creation account God put Adam to sleep and took one of his ribs and then created Eve. The Rabbis explained that the idea was the Eve was equall to Adam, but not independent -- joined together so she would not be like Lilith (independent of Adam). It is just supposition but I am guessing this is how the idea of marriage started, that you are "one" with the one who who love; joined together.

Boston

I was getting ready for school one morning in my room, and I heard this song. I remember thinking "What group was that?" I had never heard music that, it was different from everything that I was hearing on the radio. Boston has been my band every since I heard them.

EPA and CO2

Since the EPA has declaired CO₂ a "Green House Gas" which is now "Climate Change" that means that everybody in the USA now can only breath 500 times a day, after that you have to pay a carbon tax. There are going to be EPA counting spies everywhere, counting the number of breaths a person takes, and once you are over your allowed limit you either hold your breath for your next cycle, or pay the 500.00 tax. Hope and Change.

Biblical Artifacts

I was watching the National Geographic channel last night, and the show was about Biblical Artifacts and there authenticity; if the artifacts really represented and confirmed Biblical tradition. The short anwser "NO." It seems that there is an antiquity trade in the world, and if an artifact can be related to the Bible in some way, then the artifact is worth 6 figures or more. For an example in the show they showed a plain vase, it was 2 thousand years old, but it was only worth 1,000 - 2,000 dollars. That same vase though if it has some religious writing on it and said "Jesus" or some other Biblcal reference then that same vase is worth now is worth 100,000.00's of dollars. So the dealers in the artifacts doctor up the artifacts thus turning a much larger profit. It turns out that all the artifacts that reference Soloman's Temple, or other artifacts are counterfeit and do not represent or prove the Biblical time frame. At the end of the show it was said the 1/2 of all Biblical artifacts are counterfeit.

Hope and Change

By the time Obama is done we will be a Third World Nation, maybe I will move to the Nation of Texas.

I do not understand people saying, "God healed him/her once, He can do it again." That makes no sense; that means that the disease was in remission; it was still in the body-- God never healed them in the first place. If God heals someone, that means that the disease is gone, not to come back. That is a disservice againest God, and His nature.

I remember Pat Robinson being on TV 25 years ago talking about how we (Christains) needed to live on farms because the tribulation that was comming soon. Never happened. I read David Wilkersons book "The Vision" 25 years ago, what he predicted never happened. I read "Late Great Planet Earth" 25 years ago, and we are still here. If you look at history, and history of the Church as a whole; every generation has always said time is short; why? For a religion to survive and endure; the end of the world scenario serves that purpose, to motivate and scare people to gain converts, thus create an lasting religion.

I remember sitting in Church ( I was 18) and all the old people saying that they could hardly waite for Jesus to come back. I can remember thinking to myself,"Self, I do not want Jesus to come back because I have my whole life ahead of me, and I want to live it."

MM, how old is

1. Sun?
2. Milky Way?
3. the Universe?
4. the solar system?

I guess God created our DNA with a + or - 10% deviation, that explains everything.

Government is the Problem

Science News

I just read an article about how we are going to run out of oil, and the world is going to end by manufactoring oil from the Athabasca Tar Sands written by some science editor; science editor is all it said. So I "googled" him; he is a zoologist!!!; a real oil expert, climate expert and math genius; EXCUSE ME!!! that is just like the chemist tying to shutdown the LHC, a real physics expert. Go figure.

Where is the OUTRAGE

This month has been the worst month in Afganistan for Soldiers dying fighting the Taliban. When Bush was in office the "Drive by Media" as their lead story was the people, soldiers dying, and how bad things were on the nightly news, and Dingy Harry and other Democrats where on the news stating how bad things were and that we could not win. What was the big news tonight on the last day of the month; "Cash for Clunkers," forget the soldiers.

Now Obama has sent and additional 20,000 more troops including my son, where is Code Pink????? where are all the war activists??? If you are againest war, you are againest war, no matter who or what political party is in power, but I see no protest in the media or anywhere!!!! Plus, now Obama said that it is not his intention to win?????? Then screw that, bring my son home. If we are not fighting to win, then why are we fighting and dying?

Do not watch this MM, you will be offended.

Adam and Eve

If the Earth is only 6000 years old, and the beginning of the human race is created by God thru 2 people ( male and female), should not all the people on the earth be the same color of skin?

Let's see, in the last few months in the news; a few churches have burnt down, a person went into a church and killed a number of people ( I guess God wanted them killed so He could take them to Utopia, as a result, the people had to leave their families behind), and a few churches have been robbed. Sooo, God just let's this stuff happen?? For what reason?

AutoTuner 1

TD Jakes lives in a 17 room mansion, drive a Rolls Royce, and a few other expensive cars -- he is a Christian. You are a Christian living the God life so you declare. Why are you not blessed like TD Jakes? I guess you pay your tithe? I guess he pays his? Why are you not in a 17 room mansion? Can you buy whatever you want or desire? Jakes can, God has blessed him so he can, why has God not blessed you in the same way? Why are you not a millionaire like TD Jakes. What is the difference between you and TD that God has not blessed you financially like him?

Tea Party

Islam

If the Islamic community is sooooo offended by what the French declaire as offensive servitude (the wearing of the burka) in their own country (France) then Muslims should leave and immigrate to an Islamic country. Muslim community or any religious organization has no right to impose or force its religious values on people who do not share the same outlook on life.

Ice Road Truckers

I have been watching a show on the History Channel, "Ice Road Truckers." The show is about tuckers that drive 10 to 50 tonnes loads across the frozen Arctic ice shield and the dangers associated with that job. When I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright, AK (I was with 47th Engineer Company) we did ice bridging for the military exercises that were held in Alaska. To create an ice bridge a suitable location had to be found, and then holes were cut into the ice, in these holes water pumps were inserted so that water could be blown on the ice thus building up the thickness of the ice. To cross an D7 Cat the ice had to ( I do not remember exactly) 22 or 28 inches thick where the Ice Road Truckers are crossing on 54 or more inches of ice with their loads. What I found interesting was that when the 18 wheelers were crossing the ice with the heavy loads a pressure wave is created under the ice and if two waves meet from opposite directions the result is broken ice and trucks in the water, freezing water, so when heavy loads are travelling from opposite directions one side has to pull over and stop and let the other trucks pass.

DNA

I am reading a book called,"The Third Chimpanzee" by Jared Diamond, I have read two other books by him called "Collapse," (why civivlizations deteriorate and then collapse) and "Germs, Guns and Steel," (why history of the conquest of the New World was by the Europeans and not the other way around, and other stuff relating why the world is the way it is). They were both great insightful books that frankly answered some questions that I had always thought about relating to the history of the world. In this third book that I am reading I came across an interesting statistic; the DNA difference between homo sapiens and chimpanzee's is 2% or another way stating this DNA fact is that humans and chimps share 98% of the same DNA. This difference is easy explained by evolution and shows a logical tree structure in the evolutionary chain on events.

According to the Bible, animals came before man, man was created on the last day, and it was "good." This means that we are 98% chimpanzee, 2% human in our DNA makeup since the "chimp" came before "man," that was created by God. It says in the Bible that Man was created from the dust of the ground, how does dust of the ground contain chimpanzee DNA? If man was created seperately, apart from the animals, should not human DNA be totaly different, seperate from the animal kingdom? Not sharing any genes? The more I study science, the more I see how religion fails in explaining the universe and it's workings.

MM -- Why does God let defective babies be born? Why does God let DNA and genes be mutated thus creating defective human beings. God created some reptiles so that when they have a appendage or tail cut off it grows back, why did God not make humans that way? Reptiles are more important? God has the technology why not incorporate that ability into the human body? God created us this way so we could suffer and learn stuff; at least that is the anwser I always heard in church. That's a cop out. Maybe you like suffering so God can speak to you, not me, He can do email.

Reading Books to My Boys

When my boys were small, we ( me and Lily) would read books to them. I always enjoyed reading Dr. Seuss books, but there was this other favorite book that I like to read them and now is a movie: Where the Wild Things Are, I loved this book and still do. I am going to see this movie.

Soon we will be the Union of Socialist Republics; everybody the same -- robots. The Democratic (the Left) Dictatorship in action.

If you answer these 6 questions "yes," you may be a alien.

No matter where you are in the world, the Left has the same agenda -- paying dead people, or do what you need to do to stay in policitcal power.

So, what does Russian press think of the Obama Administration?

In Miami these last few weeks the Catholic Church as been involved in a delimma of some sorts. A popular priest down was photographed with his girl friend sending the Catholic Church into a distress state. I have never understood the Catholic position on Priests being forced to be celibate, because there is no theological evidence for this position in the Bible. I always heard that the Apostle Peter was considered the first priest, but he was married, soooo I have never understood how Peter has that recognition by the Catholic Church. The Apostle Paul stated that if a person could live that kind of life (celibate) then do it, but your position in the church was not in jeopardy if you decided not too. What I understand of the New Testament to be celibate is not a rquirement to be a Minister of the Gospel, and there are a few things that the Catholic Churches believes that can not be substantiated by the Bible.

What I have never understand is how the Catholic Church disregarded the 3 basic needs required by man:

1. shelter
2. food
3. sex

Since priests are men, and God made man with these 3 basic needs for existance on earth here it just seemed illogical to try to deny what God programmed into our essential nature.

Looks like the evolutionary missing link has been found between Homo Sapiens and bipedal hominids.

Battlestar Galatica 3.0

As I think about how Battlestar Galatica ended, the more dissatisfied I become about the ending. It seems to me that the producers of the show just decided that BSG needed to end, but little thought was put into the ending. There still are alot unanswered questions:

1. What happened to Keria when she died? How was she able to come back to life? Or what was the nature of her existance now?

2. Who or what was Baltar, and the cylon ( #6?) that they were able to live 150,000 years?

3. Keria was told that she was the "harbenger of death"; of what? I really did not understand that story line.

4. What was the relationship between God and the cyclons, or why was the myth of God so important to the cylons and what did they hope to acheive by it.

5. I really did not understand the Cylon's plan? or what the cylons ultimate plan was? other then destroy the human race.

6. Why was the first earth desolate? or what planet was that? was it the earth prophesied by the Lords of Kobol?

The ending of BSG was not a satisfing at least to me, it just left me wondering!

God's Plan for My Life

Since I have stop believing that there is a personal God to direct my life, nothing has changed in my life; still the same problems to deal with, but I am a happier person. When I look back over my life when I believed that God was directing my life, I think that God's so called "plan for my life" just sucks. If it was God's plan to get laid off from 3 different jobs; I do not want that plan, that sucks. If it was God's plan to get asthma, I say again; I hate that plan, I do not want to have asthma. If it is God's plan to have a daughter with a mental disorder; I do not want that plan, I say again that plan sucks. God made our DNA, and since a persons genes can be predisposed to certain diseases, let me tell you that is a great plan, really that means God is making you sick since He created your DNA. Great plan -- NOT.

Microsoft did it Again

Internet Explorer 8.0 is out now to be downloaded if you want it -- NOT. Microsoft in it's infinate wisdom has IE 8.0 as a critical download, having IE 8.0 is not critical to the operation of Windows at least in my opinion. I have programs that I run in my various computer labs that require a browser, but not IE 8.0, if IE 8.0 downloads then my programs will not work. WebCT which many Universities and Colleges utilize for various academic programs is not compatable with IE 8.0. HCC has Bigfix (a program to push updates ) but it is not run all the time, so I have configured my computers to download Windows updates automatically so that way my computer labs are up to date with the lates Win updates. I just do not understand why MS is pushing out IE 8.0 like this, it just screws things up. I would like to know who the Idiot in Charge is at MS!

Democratic Dictatorship in Action

I guess this is Chicago thug politics in action. We all know who the UAW donates money and votes for.

Windows Update

Windows update should just exclusively update the Window operating system, Internet Explorer 7 should not be a critcal update, and Windows Search 4.0 should not be an update too. An IT person should have to back track once he/she finds out that a update that is not critical to he Windows operating is freezing an image after that image has been deployed to a number of workstations. You then have to redo the image; work that should not have to be redone. Since I am ragging on Microsoft I have another bone to pick, some programmer in the Microsoft world decided that if you did not choose the "language bar" then you do not know or understand the importance of that tool so after a while the language bar just mysteriously appears with you not choosing to install it on the task bar. It's it's magic.

I think I am going to have try this.

Hey MM what do you think about this?

Dell Technical Help

On all Dell computers there is a service tag number ( 7 alphanumeric numbers) and a express service tag number ( it is about 7 or 9 digits long ) and the express service tag number is used to route your call to the right type of support. I do not know all the classisfications of support but the college purchases "gold support" when HCC buys computers. The last few times that I have called tech support the phone system has routed me to the wrong tech support level after listening to elevator music for 10 to 20 minutes and transfered to the right tech support and then another 10 or 15 minutes on hold. This last time I had to call tech support I was routed again to the wrong support level and the phone computer tech told me that he was going to transfer me to the right level of support, but I said "Stop, I do not care what level you are just tell my what I need to know to fix my current problem." He promply responded," I can not do that because I am not gold support." I said again, " You have the answer and I do not care, just tell me what I need to know." He said, "I cannot do that I have route you to gold support." While this is going on a I am thinking to myself, "Kilye, this is soooo stupid that he will not tell me what I need to know because to what? Someone ( big Dell brother, all calls are monitored by some Dell person ) is listening to the call?" In the end I said, "Ok" and then I was put on hold listening to elevator music for some time until the "gold support guy" came on the phone.

President Obama just gave an I-POD to the Queen on England, now they can watch DVD's and download I-Tunes. Like I said before, they thought Bush was dumb.

Is There Really Free Choice

Wherefore , as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans 5:12

For all have sinned ... Romans 3:23

That is thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

I used the KJV because that is what Jesus used in the temple.

Those statements are not congruent because the first statement there is no free choice, by default I am on the losing team, I am the enemy; just because I was born into this existance with no part in the decision being made by ME. Then in the 3rd verse I have to make a free choice, I have to choose God? In the first statement no free choice, and then the last statement I make a free choice. I have to make a choice dependent on a previous choice that I had no part in. That is wrong.

So then after a number of years I come to a age ( or maturity or accountabilty) that I am to recongize that I am sinner with me not be able to chose if I want to be a sinner, the choice has already be made. The Churches response for this is that I would have made the same choice as Adam, but that is not a true statement. I am not Adam, and we are not all born with the same personalities, we are all different; you can not make a blanket statement that I would have choosen to disobey God in the Garden just like Adam. So basically we come into this existance with no free choice of determining our status before God.

So then once I understand my place before God, then I am given a free choice; why a free choice now? I have to choose Jesus so I can go to Utopia, or if stay with the choice that I was given ( with out my choosing) I am bannished to Morgan City, La. Where is my freedom????

Why do I have choose in the first place? Why am I in the middle of this war between God and Satan in the first place? When I choose to die, why can I not choose to go into non-existance? I am not going to play this game.

My conclusion is that religion is man's attempt to explain the world in which we live in, but religion falls short no matter what religion you believe in trying to explain our existance, and religion has been used to regulate people's lives by people who think they know better then you on how to live your life. Plus, political power.

AIG

AIG saga continues about who know what, but in the end they ( Obama Admin and the Dem Congress) knew about the bonuses March 3, 2009. Watch. Nine days before they said they knew anything.

Saturn

This AGI outrage by the Oboma Administration and the Democratics is nothing but show, they already new about it months ago. This is another crisis so they can push through their social agenda.

This is just like before WWII, "Peace in our Time."

I guess the English Head of State can hardly waite until he can watch his DVD's. Sad, sad, sad day and they said that Bush was stupid.

Stimulus Loophole gives 300,000 Jobs to Illegals; President Obama and the Democrats strike again. Yea,!!! more CHANGE on the way.

Football

The Football rules againest players about celibrating after scoring a touchdown are just plain stupid. Scoring a goal, or point in any game is excellerating, and such a great feeling -- celibrating is a natural reaction. In the NFL these are grown men or suppost to be; if you can not take it, then get out of the sport, these rules that the NFL impose are detrimental to the sport.

Back to the quantum world, the reason that "quantum entanglement" may violate relativity is that if the information transfer is faster then the speed to light then that is a violation. According to relativity nothing in the universe can faster then the speed of light. Brian Greene, a theoretical physicist explained why this way; "the whole universe is moving at the speed of light, but objects that we percieve as moving slower then the speed of light the reason is that the energy is being converted into time which results in a slower velocity for that given object."

It maybe that "quantum entanglement" uses a mechanism that we can not detect, or do not understand. When it comes to the "quantum world" things are not as they seem.

The new motto of the Democratic Party and Obama Administration; "Never waste a good crisis!" The next 4 years is going to be crisis after crisis.

The Quantum World

In the quantum world ( which means really, really, really small ) there is a situation that happens called "quantum entanglement" and it seems to violate special relativity. No one really understands the mechanics behind this phenomena.

In the real world of which we live in, and experiance, for A to effects B there has to be some medium where the information is transfered. For example the act of hearing, when someone talks, the sounds that are generated by the vocal cords are carried by vibrations through the air to a persons ear, and then those vibrations are interperated as sound to the ear. There is a visable chain of events that scientifically can be varified.

With quantum entanglement there is no visable medium in which information transfered from one subatomic particule to another, and distance is not a factor. You could have two particules on opposite sides of the universe and if they are "entangled" and if you measured the spin of one of the particules the other particule (on the other side of the universe) would have the same spin, by measuring the spin of one of the particules you have effected the other particule. The transmittion of information is instantaneous with no visable medium to which a person can point too. This is like you have two people in different cities, one person puts on a sock but does not know what color the sock is. As soon as that person looks and percieves what the color of the sock is lets say on his left foot, the person who is "intangled" their left sock is the same color. The very act of measuring effects the second particule.

I have a friend who thinks "wormholes" but I am not sure.

Cap and Trade

Obama plans of fighting Gobal Warming (which is called "Climate Change" now) which is in reality another tax on the Middle Class because the increase for conducting business will be passed onto the comsumer. The Obama administration will create a credit (the business will have to pay the government for the credits) system where business will be limited to an amount of CO₂ that they can emit so in essence their emmisions well be capped, but for those business that are below their emmision cap they will be able to trade their credits to another company that is over their limit thus making a financial gain of some amount, what ever the price of a credit. The process has to be control somewhere, sooooooo you might ask where???? Well I will tell you -- Chicago, the thug city and who is going to be charge, one of the President's buddies and make all kinds of money off this scam, plus the traders who will be maintaining the credit market.

Cap and trade will increase the price of energy, food, and be passed onto the consumer. Soon we will have to pay to breath.

Third world countries, and China (which is building coal powerplants) will still expell CO₂ at the same rates or increased rates with no repercussions.

YEA, the Democratic change is here, NO STOCKMARKET, NO MORE RICH PEOPLE, SCREW BIG BUSINESS, Dingy Harry is putting in a train system to the "Bunny Ranch" YEA. That way you can be screwed both ways. If you bought a house you could not afford it does not matter because Obama is going to refinace you and lower the principle of your morgage-- YEA; change. Obama said the for to long people have been living irresponsible and living beypond their means, but the Democratic Party = Obama, is spending money that we do not have. Were is the responsiblity???? And the Republicans have not been much better, most of them are to concerned about getting relected and being invited to DC parties, and not living by conservative principals that put them there in the first place. As far as I am concerned McCain is a half Democrat.

If Obama puts through his "Cap and Trade" tax we are all screwed. YEA.

I have finished reading the book, "Barbarians" by Terry Jones and Alan Ereira and then watched the DVD's that were part of the book and then shown on the History Channel. The premise of the book was challenging the ideas that the Romans were not civilized but they were the Barbarians not the other nationalities that the Roman's conquered and then the Romans considered them to be barbarians. The nations that surrounded the Roman Empire were in more ways more civilized then the mighty Roman Empire. The best example that exemplifies the point is the Roman coliseum and the thurst for the blood that the Roman nation satisfied there. Nowhere else in any other nation was the killing of innocent people by lions, or by gladiator’s to the amusement and enjoyment of the Roman people that filled the coliseum. I remember studying the Roman Nation in one of my Humanity classes and that my professor said that near the end of the Roman Empire the coliseum was in use 260 days out of the year. That is allot of death for the amusement of a nation. No other nation that surrounded or that was conquered be the Romans made death a national past time.

The Romans also treated knowledge from other cultures as either relevant to their needs or irrelevant so it was discarded, which means they burnt libraries. Rome was an Empire for 1000 years and in that time so much general knowledge was lost because it did not serve the Empire. The Catholic Church also bears so blame because when it came to power as the Holy Roman Empire beginning with Charlemagne if the knowledge did not benefit the Church, or in a act of holy rage to stamp out paganism; burn the libraries.


I had always wondered what caused the "Dark Ages" and I think that I stumbled onto one possible answer. The Roman Empire and the Church burnt the world’s libraries that contained the world's knowledge which resulted in man having to rediscover information and ideas that were lost for hundreds of years.


In the TV show a Roman boat was discovered in the Mediterranean and some artifacts were recovered but one artifact was thought insignificant until someone decided to x-ray the artifact. It was then discovered that there was an intricate gear formation that the x-ray revealed. Once the machine was recreated it was discovered that the motion of the planets and their position to each other could be revealed with this device. Here is a machine that was created a number of years ago by the Greeks that the plans were no doubt in some library that was burnt by the Roman Empire.

Burning books is not right even if you do not agree with it, you have the power to accept it, or reject it, but burning a book is not an option.

WOW what a change, the Democratic end game.

Hey AutoTuner, there was bike night out at Plant City, the city is about 30 miles from Tampa. The city has bike night every first Saturday of the month. There was one bike there that had a car tire for a back wheel. Here are some pics. You can click on a pic if you want to see more detail.

You may be wondering why I posted these I.T. rules, well let me tell you. I was told by my boss to go and install a printer in this person's office the other day. I person had given their permision to enter thier office and for me to install the printer which was fine by me. I entered the office to discover that the computer I was to install the printer on was a labtop, but the laptop was at home. The person did not know that the computer had to be there so I could install the printer, sometime PhD means "pizzia hut dude" since I am surrounded by them. Life of an I.T. person.

How to Please Your I.T. Department

1. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling tropies and childern's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.

2. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.

3. When an I.T. person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords.

4. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.

5. When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. We are just testing.

6. When an I.T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only to server.

7. Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery.

8. When the photocopier doesn't work call computer support, there's electronics in it.

9. When something's wrong with your home pc, dump it on a I.T. person's chair with no name, no phone number, and no discription of the problem. We love a puzzle.

10. When an I.T. person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good argument.

11. When an I.T person tells you that he will be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice, "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That really motivates us.

12. When the printer won't print, resend the print job 20 more times. Print jobs frequently get suck into black holes.

13. When the printer still won't print after 20 times, sent the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of them will work.

14. Don't learn the proper term for anything technical. We know exactly what you mean by "My thingy blew up."

15. Don't use online help, online help is for wimps.

AutoTuner we had a big motorcycle meet for the SuperBowl, they said that there was 3900 bikes there.

Hey AutoTuner what about this Volkswagen!

The Democratic Party has expanded its membership by about 300 - 350 people today with the stroke of a pen.

I finally understand the difference between a closed, flat, or open universe. In a flat universe a triangle equalls 180 degrees I did not understand meaning of that statement. I just finnished reading a book by Leonard Susskind; "the father of string theory." Anyways a flat universe means that the expansion rate of the universe is constant, a closed universe means that the universe is shrinking and a open universe the expansion is accelerating. With a flat universe the triangle is not being distorted so sum of all the angles equal 180 degrees.

Medieval tech support.

Today begins the Democratic dictatorship.

GS-1000 1978

It has been a long time since I have ridden a motorcycle. The first motorcycle I had was a Suzuki GS-1000 which I bought from Blackwolf. I am not sure why Blackwolf himself bought the bike or why he sold it to me ( it was a long time ago ), but I ended up with the motorcycle and I road it a number of years until we moved to Alaska (Ft. Wainwright) that was 1988. I sold the motorcycle and have not been on a bike since. For the last few years I started missing ridding a motorcycle, and when I was driving around I would spy every bike on the road. I have a Honda VT 750c.

LHC -- Large Hadron Collider at CERN was fired up, and we are still here. There is a big controversy surounding the LHC that it will create quantum black holes thus destroying planet Earth. But, we are saved now because the collider will be down for 3 or more months, it was a large helium leak, and some kind of electrical problem.

There are some law suits againest the collider, these people have no understanding of the physics of the collider. I think that these are the same doom and gloom people world wide that believe that what ever man does somehow it is going to destroy the earth. One of the people bring a law suite againest the collider is a chemist, he probably had 2 physics classes in his life, a real expert. When they get the collider working it will be cool.

Dear Diary,


For my fiftieth birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a
week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although
I am still in great shape since playing on my college football team
30 yrs ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give
it a try.

Called the club and made my reservation with a personal trainer
named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26 yr old aerobics
instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My wife
seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club
encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

MONDAY: Started my day at 6:00am.
Tough to get out of bed, but it was well worth it when I arrived at
the health club to find Belinda waiting for me. She was something of
a Greek goddess -- with blonde hair, dancing eyes and a dazzling
white smile.

Woo Hoo!!!!!


Belinda gave me a tour and showed me the machines. She took my pulse
after 5 minutes on the treadmill. She was alarmed that my pulse was
so fast, but I attributed it to standing next to her in her Lycra
aerobics outfit. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she
conducted her aerobics class after my workout today.

Very inspiring, Belinda was encouraging as I did my sit-ups,
although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time
she was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!

TUESDAY: I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out
the door. Belinda made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar
into the air, and then she put weights on it! My legs were a little
wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Belinda's
rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT!! It's a whole
new life for me.

WEDNESDAY: The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the
toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over
it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as
long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in
the club parking lot.

Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered
other club members. Her voice is a little too perky for early in the
morning and when she scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is
VERY annoying.

My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Belinda put me on the
stair monster. Why would anyone invent a machine to
simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Belinda told me
it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. She said some other
useless stuff too.

THURSDAY: Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth
exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. It
wasn’t my fault I was a half an hour late; it took me that long to tie
my shoes.

Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she was not
looking, I ran and hid in the men's room.. She sent Lars to find me,
then, as punishment, put me on the rowing machine -- which I sank.

FRIDAY: I hate that Belinda more than any human being has ever
hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid,
skinny, anemic little cheerleader. If there were a part of my body I
could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it.

Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps.
And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the *&%
#(#&**!!@*@ barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.

The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition
teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama
coach or the choir director?

SATURDAY: Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her
grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just
hearing her made me want to smash the machine with my planner.
However, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended
up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel.


SUNDAY: I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I
can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that
next year, my wife, will choose a gift for me that is fun like a
root canal or a vasectomy.

"Iell be back"-- the Terminator; well here is the start: Big Dog Project. Then comes "Sky Net."

The concept of gravity is really not comprehended because it is not understood how gravity is created, mass = gravity and are there little "gravitrons?" Gravity moves at the speed of light and is through out the universe. Before Einstein there was Newton who discribe gravitatation attraction between objects with the following formula:

F_g= G m₁m₂/r²


G = universal gravitational constant

m = mass

r = seperation between the two masses


On first look at this equation you just assume the attraction is intrinsic with the two masses and nothing else involved, and the equation works. Then along came Einstein and redefined gravity and space = space time, Einstein showed how gravity was warping space, and that warping of space created the orbit the planets around the sun because if that warping was not happening the earth would be traveling the Milky Way in a straight line. So then is gravity really attracting another object or does Newton's formula describe the warping of space that mass objects create and that the effect that the warping of space is creating the attraction on two objects?

I have finished reading the book, "Barbarians" by Terry Jones and Alan Ereira and then watched the DVD's that were part of the book and then shown on the History Channel. The premise of the book was challenging the ideas that the Romans were not civilized but they were the Barbarians not the other nationalities that the Roman's conquered and then the Romans considered them to be barbarians.

On Aug. 23, 2008 I am going to see Boston and Michael Sweet of Stryper will be playing with Boston.







Stryper




So I might hear some Stryper songs which would make it a great concert.

Here is something for you Autotuner 1 (a little Stryper drum action):

It looks like the whole idea of dying and then being raised from the dead was there before Jesus talked about it.

Yea, it's "CANADA DAY."

This is the day that Canada invaded the America Colonies in the war of 1812 and burn't down the then not American (which was not white color at the time) "White House." This action resulted in the Americans rebuilding the burn't White House and then painting the president's house "white," resulting what reguarded now as the "White House." Yea, burning down the house!!!!!! Party, party.

On of my HP printers in one of my computer labs went down and it had a error code, so I went HP web site to look up the error code. I already kind of knew what the code meant, but I wanted to be sure, so I found my printer on HP web site and low and behold the defination for the error was not listed. So I decided to call HP support to confirm what I thought the error code meant, this was the conversation:

me: I have a printer error that I would like you to tell me what it means?

HP: Can I have the serial number of the printer?

me Ok, it is xxxxxxxxx.

HP: That printer is out of warranty, you need to pay 21.00 for support.

me: Are you saying that I need to pay 21.00 so you can tell what your error means that is not listed on your web page?

HP: yes

me: You have got to be kidding!!!!

HP: You can try our online web support, it's free.

me: Ok

I bring up the HP web site on my computer and navigate to HP's web support page and then log onto the web support page.

me: I have a printer problem and I am not sure of the error code.

HP: Can I have the serial number of the printer?

me: Ok, xxxxxxxxx

HP: That printer is not under warranty any more you have to pay 21.00 for support.

me: Are you telling me that I need to pay 21.00 so you can tell me what HP's error code means?

HP: yes, or go find the error code on the HP web page

By this time my German temper (which you know most of the time I am calm and collect) I am irrate.

me: thanks for the non-support, the error is not on HP's web site

I then close the web page thinking some choice (like in Star Trek) colorful adjectives.

This is just crap. Why do I have to pay HP for information that is indigenous to them, dealing with their equipment and error codes that only they know?

Father's Day

Ode to a Father:

Who I am today is influenced, shaped, and molded by my relationship I had with dad. Dad's sense of humor, and desire to have fun has had a direct impact on my life and how I raised my own childern. The humors tricks and pranks that dad played on me, I passed onto my children. For example my kids would take off out the door, and then I would call them back and then asked that all important question,"How far would you have gotten if I would not have called you back?"

I love roller coasters, and that love of ridding rollercoasters is because dad loved to ride them, and he loved to take me and I love the feeling of loosing my stomach on that first big fall of the coaster. One time when were vacationing in California me and dad ventured out our own without mom's knowledege and found a rollercoaster on the beach, we rode about 5 times ( I really do not remember how many times, but it was alot ). It was sooooooooo much fun, as soon as we got of the rollercoaster we ran back to get inline so we could ride it again. I have done that with my kids, one time we were at Bush Gardens, and there were not many people, the coaster was open so, me and my kids did the same thing, we got off and then ran to get back on the rollercoaster and rode it numerous time; sooooooo much fun.

Dad would take me with him to the oil riggs and that was fun too, the food, the apple pies. I loved the noise of the oil rigg and big diesel engines that drove the drilling, I always slept best out there, I guess that is why I like my fan so much, the noise.

The one thing that I could not do with dad was to discuss intellectual ideas or the "meaning of life" and I do that with mom now, but dad just had not desire to contimplate the issues, I guess he just did not have it in him. I feel sad the way dad's life ended, I am not sure why his life ended the way it did, but I am sure some of the choices that he made in his life had a direct impact on the way his life ended, but I am glad of the time and fun that I had with dad.

I have not had my own cat since "Panther" to name. We have had cats, but not my cat. Anyways here is my cat, still thinking of a name. I have always liked cats better than dogs, cats reflect my personality I guess that is why I have always liked cats better than dogs. Lilly has the sister.

"The mitochondrial genealogy of humankind has three main branches, know as L1, L2, and L3. L1 and L2 are confined to Africans who lived south of the Sahara. The L3 branch gave rise to a linage known as M, and it was the descendants of M who left Africa." (Before the Dawn, pg 58)

Life started in Africa.

I was conversing with AutoTuner the other day as he was celebrating that he had just joined the 21st Century by have just bought a broadband/cable/phone system. Surfing the internet cyberspace waves. Where is Blackwolf????

Hockey

Autotuner asked me the other day if I was watching the NHL playoffs, and I told him that I was watching some of the playoffs but not like years ago. There is no Bobby Orr, Bobby Hull, or Bobby Clark. The players that I knew when I was playing hockey, plus that game that I watched recently there was nothing but hooking, so to me hockey is not as exciting as when I was playing hockey. I have to admit I still miss playing the game, I loved playing hockey, being on the ice. What I did not like was though was Dad refereeing my games, the other teams always thought Dad was harder on them, then us.

I might feel different or excited about hockey if I lived in Edmonton, here in Tampa football is the big thing here, plus it is hard to freeze water in your backyard to create your own rink.

The Olympic Games


I think that it is wrong that the athletes have to sign a piece of paper that basically states that the athletes will not criticize the Chinese government on human rights, or anything else the Chinese Secret Police deems not in the Chinese political interest. The Olympic games in China are to symbloize China becoming a 1st world nation, but at what price. As you know China is one of the world's top polluters, and that is the reason that the world's top marathoner is not running in Beijing, for fear that his lungs would be harmed by the pollution.

For the games to take place the Olympic area where all that athletes are lodging need food, water, and breathable air. So what is the Chinese government plan to accomlish master plan. First, shutdown a few powerplans ( in a 75 mile radius ) it does not matter if the local people have no power for 2 weeks, but it will cut down on the pollution. Second water (H2O); that plan is to divert enough fresh water (from the same 75 mile radius) to enshure that the athletes have enough water, it does not matter if the local people do not have enough water for two weeks. In short China does not have the infrastructure to host the Olympic games or the freedom for people for which I thought the Olympic games represented.

This is cool link.

The Flood

There is no evidence that a world wide flood happened, but there is evidence that localized flooding happened, that at the time people would have thought that the whole earth was flooded because to them what they perceived (their surroundings) was the whole earth. Anyways, if whole earth was deluged by water, here is the math.

Since the Earth is only 10,000 years old not much geological change has happened, so I took Mt. Everest as the tallest place on earth, and then added 40 cubits to that height. There is some contention of what a cubit so I just took an average. They think a cubit was between 43 to 56 centimeters long so:

43 + 56 / 2 = 49.5 cm
49.5 cm = 0.000495 km

first the volume of the earth:

V = 4/3 x pi x r³
= (1.3 ) (3.14) (6,371)³
= 1055591332674.502 km³

second, volume of earth plus added the height of Mt Everest

Mt Everest = 8.848 km, add that to the radius of the earth
6371.0 + 8.848 + .000495 = 6379.85 km

V_{earth + Mt. Everest} = 4/3 x pi x r³
= (1.3)x(3.14)x(6378.85)³
= 1059995436864.56 km³

Volume of water fallen = V_earth - V _{e + Mt Everest}
= 4404104190.06 km³

converting that to gallons of water = 1.163 x 10²¹

That is one more decimal place that all the water on the earth, and if that much water vapor was in the atmosphere, the atmospheric pressure would have been so great that life could not exist on the earth.

The world is going to end --- 7.6 billion years from now, when the sun engulfs the earth in a supernova. Life on earth only has 1 billion years left, buy then the expanding sun will have boiled the oceans away (fish fry). You will still be able to get a tan though, burnt to a crisp -- toasty; just like Quiznos.

The Sun is 4.5 billion years old, and since the birth of the sun it has consumed 1/2 of the hydrogen in the Sun's core. The temperature of the sun is 15.6 million degrees Kelvin at the core which converted to Celcius is 15,699,726.85 C. At the surface the temperature of the sun is 7000 degrees Celcius.

There was Adam and Lilith, before Adam and Eve.

I was surfing the web, looking for information on a book that I am reading, and I came across this:

The word "Lucifer" in Isaiah 14:12 presents a minor problem to mainstream Christianity. It becomes a much larger problem to Bible literalists, and becomes a huge obstacle for the claims of Mormonism. John J. Robinson in A Pilgrim's Path, pp. 47-48 explains: "Lucifer makes his appearance in the fourteenth chapter of the Old Testament book of Isaiah, at the twelfth verse, and nowhere else: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!" The first problem is that Lucifer is a Latin name. So how did it find its way into a Hebrew manuscript, written before there was a Roman language? To find the answer, I consulted a scholar at the library of the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. What Hebrew name, I asked, was Satan given in this chapter of Isaiah, which describes the angel who fell to become the ruler of hell? The answer was a surprise. In the original Hebrew text, the fourteenth chapter of Isaiah is not about a fallen angel, but about a fallen Babylonian king, who during his lifetime had persecuted the children of Israel. It contains no mention of Satan, either by name or reference. The Hebrew scholar could only speculate that some early Christian scribes, writing in the Latin tongue used by the Church, had decided for themselves that they wanted the story to be about a fallen angel, a creature not even mentioned in the original Hebrew text, and to whom they gave the name "Lucifer." Why Lucifer? In Roman astronomy, Lucifer was the name given to the morning star (the star we now know by another Roman name, Venus). The morning star appears in the heavens just before dawn, heralding the rising sun. The name derives from the Latin term lucem ferre, bringer, or bearer, of light." In the Hebrew text the expression used to describe the Babylonian king before his death is Helal, son of Shahar, which can best be translated as "Day star, son of the Dawn." The name evokes the golden glitter of a proud king's dress and court (much as his personal splendor earned for King Louis XIV of France the appellation, "The Sun King").

That verse was used alot in many sermans that I listen to in church describing how Satan challanged God's authority in Heaven. I just read a book a few months ago detailing how the scribes from all the 6000 manuscripts that the Bible comes from and how verses were changed because that particular scribe thought it need to be changed to conform to what he thought was right.

How Big is the Universe?

I have never really ever thought about "How Big the Universe" was until my physics teacher asked that simple question, which I readily anwsered about 26 billion light years in diameter, but as soon as I have anwsered I knew I was wrong. What I was stating was that the observable universe is about 26 billions light years ( because we can look back about 13.4 billion light years), assuming that the earth in is the middle of the universe, but even if the earth is not the universe is so vast I really do not think that it matters. Anyways, we have a horizon (so to speak) of light that we can observe, but buy the time the light reaches the earth the universe has expaned from where the light has not reached us yet.
