XING doesn’t allow an import.
JIBBERJOBBER couldn’t figure out how to set Contact Category.
LINKEDIN has “invitations” and doesn’t allow me to assemble or annotate.
Argh!
ACT50 doesn’t import other contact files.
ZOHO CRM wouldn’t take me.
THINKFREE has no contact import.
Ahh, wouldn’t governor mcgoofey be proud. Seriously, I think this is wrong. Not the fact that we now have “civil unions”, but why is the gooferment involved in marriage at all!
Rooted in the deep south, in a desire to keep black men from marrying white women, it has morphed into yet another gooferment intrusion.
Marriage is whatever a group of people believe it is and define it for their own purposes. Be it a life long vow blessed by God never to be broken, a financial contract with force backing it up, or musical beds by Hollywood “stars”. Why is it the government’s business? I have no right to stick my nose in your business. Nor you into mine. Unless I want your approval, support, and solidarity, then you and I can come to an agreement about what are the terms of our mutual understanding. If the Church wants to set standards for their membership that’s their prerogative. If the VFW does it, that’s theirs. Why have we allowed the gooferment into this facet of our life?
The thing I object to is being forced to pay for stuff I don’t agree with. And, the list of things that I am forced to pay for by armed thugs in Washington DC, Trenton, New Brunswick, South Brunswick Township, Ocean County, Seaside Heights, and just about most places I pass thru is astoundingly long.
I remember going to the Mafia controlled areas of Little Italy in downtown sync in my younger days. It was safe and clean. The “police” were very polite. But there was no doubt that you were on their “turf”.
At least they didn’t shake me down like the gooferment today does.
So, bottom line, if the gooferment has to use force, then it is probably not a good idea. Because if it was, no force would be required.
Tell me again why we have “government marriage”, “civil unions”, or any such gooferment intrusion into our lives? Could it all be about control, tracking, and revenue collection?

Have to give them credit for a real security enhancement. And it seems to work well.

I find it hard to get excited about men’s college basketball because of the student athlete issue. You know “graduates who can’t read” or “four year starters leaving without a diploma”.
The NCAA is nothing more than a government sponsored monopoly.
Argh! UofM, Rutgers, and all the other gooferment schools taking my tax money by force to play a game? RU just bought Sciano the fball coach a new house. Arghh!
The “schools” make grazillions out of the labors of unpaid athletes. And, when their time is up, they get hurt, or “offend”, over the side they go.
It’s a new form of slavery.
Don’t find it just a little ironic when a lilly white student body of a “prestigious” school are cheering for their non-white “warriors” in a meaningless “game”.
I wonder what MLK would have said?
I admire their skill, their training, and their spirit. I just don’t think they are getting a fair shake. Just as I admire a marathoner from Kenya, a Russian chess grandmaster, or anyone who can do anything I can’t.
I just think a “little” reform is in order.
At least with the Jasper basketball players of Manhattan College, I know that brother President personally reviews their academics. I’ve talked to many of the graduates and I’d hire them tomorrow.
Now if all college presidents were as honest!

I’ve been invited to post at the “Blog of South Brunswick”. No contract, no commitment. But, it does give my voice some volume. :-) Think they know what they got themselves into?

I can understand honoring Washington.
I could even understand MLK as America’s Gandhi.
I can’t understand Lincoln.
Never could. Got in trouble all thru school about Lincoln because of that belief. Fellow named Lorenzo wrote a great book about it.
I was accused of being a Southerner at heart. All thought it was funny to watch the good Brother turn red when referring to the “Civil War”, I’d call it “the Second American Revolution”, the “Southern Rebellion against Northern Tyranny”, or the “End of the American Experiment in Liberty”.
;-)
Great fun. I was always polite and respectful. Hence didn’t draw smacks, raps, beatings, or “punish lessons”.
It was even more fun when the topic of the Irish Rebellion, the Green versus the Orange, and England out of Ireland would come up in the current events discussion. Then, the good Brothers, being mostly Irish Catholics, were all too ready to look at it from the loser’s side. The oppressed side, The injured side.
Great fun. To inquire why this was different.
At least, all the state workers weren’t on the road to Trenton this morning.

RE: Scuffing baseball could lead to 10-game suspension for non-pitchers – MLB – Yahoo! Sports
Why don’t they ever make the rules changes I propose. I’d change the extra inning rule that EITHER the team that scored the tying run wins (rewarding catching up) OR the team that scores the tying run loses (rewarding getting to that score first).
And, I’d figure out how to play the game without zebras!

There’s a programmer’s proverb that “You never find the last bug!”
But that’s no excuse to stop looking for it.

Scuffing baseball could lead to 10-game suspension for non-pitchers
February 16, 2007
*** begin quote ***
NEW YORK (AP) — A major league position player who scuffs or defaces a baseball would be ejected and receive an automatic 10-game suspension under changes approved Friday by the sport’s playing rules committee.

I like baseball. Don’t know why. Not on tv. Not with distractions. But there are somethings I don’t like. Domes.
Or any game with umpires, referee, or judges. It just seems that the politics of human beings gets in the way of the sport. Was it a foul or wasn’t it. Who did what first. And, my particular favorite in bball, the second foul gets called.
I like games where it’s absolute like how far did you throw that caber. a caber is the big heavy Scottish stick that drunken Scotsmen and other celts throw around for fun. No ref. The contestants measure the divot the darn thing leaves. There are no arguments since it’s usually obvious to the naked eye just whose hole is where. That’s my kind of “referee – less” game!
In baseball, the umpire can really screw a player, manager, and team. The sport needs a feedback loop. I don’t know how to construct it. But, I’m tired of seeing games decided by “zebra ball”.
It’s amusing when the technology shows you the exact path of the ball and the umpire’s call doesn’t match the box. You can usually tell when the call is wrong because the TV folks don’t show the box on THOSE pitches. Only on the ones that confirm the umpire on a close call.
Sheesh, like I didn’t notice it was a bad call. It’s dishonest TV reporting.
And, you trust these guys to report news or entertain you?
