TESTING: Capability to post from an email

Friday, August 7, 2009

Trying the the free, and unequaled, wordpressdotcom capability to post from an email. This would eliminate the need for ECTO which is causing me problems now with blank posts.

Unfortunately, the gooferment writes the history book. And, now teaches the young to bey. Secrets are hidden almost forever. A sad day for the American experiment in so many ways. Did the experiment end with the bloody “civil” war? If not, Shay’s rebellion? We’re just kidding ourselves that we control this monster called government. That’s why I call government the meme that kills and enslaves us. Time to update out thinking?


INITIALISMS: PROBLEM

Whether CCHIT should have such power is arguable, said Fred Trotter, co-founder of the Liberty Medical Software Foundation, a group devoted to promoting open-source EHR systems. In a blog post published in June, he described their certification process as “a check-list for a Proprietary, Rigid, Overweight, Bloated, Loaded, Expensive, and Massive (or PROBLEM for short) EHR products.”

Great find!

Can apply to most IT infrastructure projects today.

I’d call “o” as over-budget!

Shona Holmes- Against Nationalized Health Care Ad

One minute ad about health care. Very powerful stuff.

Send Obama-Care to where we sent Hilary Care. The discard pile.

France ponders a burqa ban
No cover up
Jun 25th 2009 | PARIS
From The Economist print edition
The government takes on a “walking prison”

WHEN the French government decided in 2004 to ban the Muslim headscarf in state schools and other public buildings, it set off a heated debate over religious expression and women’s rights in a secular state. Now Nicolas Sarkozy has sparked another by calling the burqa, a head-to-toe Islamic garment, “a sign of subjugation…of debasement” that is “not welcome on French territory”.

Wonder how this will play in America?

We have “religious freedom”. But, no overt religious symbols law, but will this stretch “tolerance”.

Newsroom June 12

This is pretty funny. Especially the “government sucks” slip.

Five minutes well spent!

Worth the price.

Not a classic.

Certain “science” was weak.

Last action stunt unbelievable; I’ve had the parasail jump training. Landings on water hurt; slamming into a building, you ain’t walking around.

Hanks only “name”; second string actors gave very credible performances.

Biometrics can tell a “dead” eye.

BUT, (there is always a big butt), a fun viewing.

Certainly not as good as the original.

GAMBLING: Keep in sync in the casino

Keep Your Rhythm

I am fully aware that some casino players think that a necessary ingredient of going to the casinos is for the player to lose control. They view their casino time as some kind of “letting it all hang out” experience. According to the Captain, not only is that dangerous to your health, it is also dangerous to your bankroll and you peace of mind.

My greatest flaw is probability.

Especially on a slot where I have played for a long time, the jackpot just has to hit.

I’ve proven in my own mind that a long run without a jackpot means one is “due”.

In group play, with Luddite and our wives, I’ll stay on a machine that has “broken” us. Say a penny slot, playing for 45 or 75 cents a spin, has taken 80 bucks from us. Haning on for so more play at max coins has been very profitable. Not at progressives where I don’t think they ever pay or it’s hard to get away with winnings.

In personal play, I try to be very disciplined. Sometimes it even works. On non-progressive pennies, I try to find one that hasn’t been “hit”. Either by observation or looking at the last cash out. I’ll play minimum coins maximum lines for half my stake and max for the last half. Jury’s still out at that.

Drinking or tired are two fatalities to disciplined play. Together it’s a killer.

Argh!

No easy road to riches!
