PINKY: If I Could Relive Any Day of My Life … Shoulda, coulda, and woulda!

Monday, July 12, 2010

I've learned the hard way that idle speculation on what might have been is counter productive and a waste of time.

Probably the day I decided which College to attend.

I had been accepted to: Stamford, Notre Dame, Fordham, and Manhattan. I chose Manhattan because it was easiest and cheapest. It's hard to imagine one day in my life that was so pivotal. That decision determined so much of my future. It was the choice that cut off three other branches.

In my novel, I'd have the ability to see "… the Eternal Possibilities Machine, which generates all the possibilities for use in creating the alternative worlds. In all those probability lines …" CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 45.

That would tell me how things would have been different. Unfortunately, unlike the Bill Murray movie "GROUNDHOGS DAY", you don't get the benefit of do overs.

So, I'll never know what could have happened.

Shoulda, coulda, and woulda! They'll kill you.

ADMINISTRIVIA: Lumectomy complete

Friday, June 4, 2010

No complications. Not what they thought it was. (They thought cyst; it was “gunk”. Technical medical term?) Some what longer incision than I thought. Several days of care required. Two weeks later I get the stitches out. Then I’ll have a scar. Make me look like pirate?

Green Police: Audi Super Bowl Ad

Absolutely hits too close to home. Even the non-political types who were watching the game were upset by the commercial. It may have started a small “tea party” on its own.

POLITICS: Stop the Abortion Mandate

In what realm is it fair to make people (like me) pay for what is morally abhorrent? Where does the Constitution say that the federal gooferment has the right to do this?

Government is the meme that kills! All of us. First our souls; then our bodies. Separate Government from all the various things it has intruded upon.

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

Saturday, July 18, 2009

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/07/medicalrecords/

*** begin quote ***

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.”

*** end quote ***

Great find!

Can apply to most IT infrastructure projects today.

I’d call “o” as over-budget!

France ponders a burqa ban: No cover up | The Economist

Shared via AddThis

*** begin quote ***

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”.

*** end quote ***

Wonder how this will play in America?

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

RECOMMENDATION: Angels ‘n’ Demons

Sunday, May 17, 2009

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

Tuesday, May 12, 2009

Keep Your Rhythm
30 April 2009
By Frank Scoblete

*** begin quote ***

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.

*** end quote ***

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!

INTERESTING: The time-honored and unchanging free-market principles needed

Sunday, March 15, 2009

http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=YTkzMzllNmE3MDM3NDhmMjcxZjA5MTE0OTk5NDJkODQ=

NRO BLOG ROW – THE CORNER – Wednesday, March 11, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Accordingly, conservatism will return to prominence when it uses time-honored and unchanging free-market principles to address new problems, and when it finds advocates who both are adept at communication with non-traditional audiences (e.g., why it is in the interest of African-Americans to be skeptical of abortion on demand, why Hispanic small-business people need to be wary of intrusive regulations, why Asian-Americans should fear affirmative-action-driven de facto racial quotas at the University of California, why talented teachers should not have to join bureaucratic, ossified unions, why today’s young people should not have to pay off Obama’s annual $1.7 trillion deficits, etc.) and believe in their message’s resonance, without trimming[?] for the applause of the moment.

*** end quote ***

As “conservatism” seeks to return us to the “classical liberalism” of the First American Revolution, a little L libertarian like myself can agree that it’s a good first step.

Unfortunately, for as smart as I feel the DOWGs were, and they were far smarter than I, and more courageous as well, I don’t think we can rewind the clock.

We have to take those “classically liberal” principles and move forward applying them to today’s problems.

Just as the King was rightly opposed as tyrannical, so to must we oppose the new “king” — the overpower all-encompassing gooferment.

Empowering the individual to make their own choices and bear the consequences of bad choices.

So, we have to have miniscule government. Close to the people. With it’s only mission being to protect the rights of individuals.

Argh!
