Disc Golf Diet

2009-07-05T21:15:00.004-05:00

Well now with walking about a mile a day and diet supplements working ever so well, I am losing weight like crazy.

I have such a great addiction to disc golf. I am playing 18-27 holes and sometimes more a day. I am getting the point where I want to take my favorite disk a little bed and kiss good night every night.

Well I hope you have a most happy day.

Do the Bugs win?

2009-06-28T22:44:00.003-05:00

I have been working on doing disk golf lately. And the bugs were winning. I have been using this really great best wrinkle creams that is keeping the bugs away.

I was rather surprised when my wife told me about this working I was really surprised. It took me awhile to overcome the fear of using it. But alas it works really well. No more bugs. I really wonder why this works the way it does, but it does.

HAve a most happy day.

For Those Who Wish . . .

2009-06-28T22:32:00.003-05:00

I know that health care is on the front burner of everything.

Now what happens when you get mesothelioma and you want to have treatment. Right now in England there many kinds of cancer that will not be treated. The liberty that you enjoy of having the single greatest medical system in the world.

The problem is that your liberties will erode little by little and you will be happy for a little bit of security.

Have a most happy day.

Health

2009-06-28T14:11:00.004-05:00

One of the more facisintating things about recent developments in health care is of course the idea that America may turn into socialized medicine. A few people say they cannot get health insurance. I managed to recently get a free insurance quotes with no problem.

The real question in all this: will your congressperson opt out of the best insurance program in the country for the one you will have? If not, the answer to socialized health care is a NO!

Who knows your health needs better:
A) Your Doctor
B) You
C) Some government ninny sitting in an office who has to answer to no one
D) Both A and B

On the Economy

2009-06-27T22:32:00.003-05:00

Well now that the RV purchasing of new purchases is down I have to confess that based on where I live rv parks are still doing well.

I see a number of RVs out on the road when I am going to work. Wal-Mart is filled up with RVs on a daily basis. The one local place is also filled. I am amazed at how well the people are doing it even when the economy is not doing well.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day.
Here is a video that I do like:

Counting the People and Much Much Much More

2009-06-23T08:47:00.011-05:00

So how do we answer only the numeration questions on the upcoming census and provide a good . The census data collects a ton of info from the people and uses it, in who knows how many odd ways. The bottom line is that I really do not trust my government at this time in any way. I have seen to many abuses of power by BO and the government as a whole.

Answering only the numeration question has been suggested by Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) as right thing to do.

So here are my suggestions:

5th Amendment: We sign saying that under penalty of perjury the foregoing is correct and accurate. What if we make a mistake? That opens us to self-incrimination, which is clearly against the 5th amendment.

5th Amendment: "[N]or shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." This one may not seem so obvious to many people. Many marketing companies pay top dollar for marketing data. The census is top notch marketing data that would all for direct marketing. This seems to be a real possibility as BO has allowed private information to be given to legal companies for helping with homes. Since my demographic information has value the government is taking something of value from me that I am not being compensated for.

10th Amendment: The 10th would seem to allow the state to conduct an in depth census. Therefore the federal government is overstepping their bounds.

4th Amendment: The census is an unreasonable search that could easily be abused by government. The search could happen without our knowledge and then be used to point us out to the federal government for whatever evil purposes that Washington DC would want to use them for.

14th Amendment: The equal protection clause also provides help. We are all guaranteed the right to be treated equally. What about all those who are not counted. Or who are guesstimated to be counted.

Medical Records, The Census, Taxes, and Credit Report

2009-06-19T12:47:00.004-05:00

With the all that is going on with the power grab by BO and the willing accompalises in the press and on capital hill it seems that there will be tons of information avalible from a simple and easy to use Honeywell Barcode Scanner.

Since the government has the data from the Census ready to go, you also have to count all the data from credit reports. As BO takes over the banking industry: if you get a credit card is now upto the white house.

The medical records are next. Since some person sitting in a room who does not answer to anyone will decide if you get a treatment, all she has to do is pull up your medical records. Then your credit report. Are you a good choice to receive cancer treatment?

This is all possiable from the BO (Barry Obama) who is now sitting in the White House.

Going LV

2009-06-14T23:44:00.004-05:00

One of the items that I have noticed is the need for vacations. Many of the people I work with are in need of Vegas hotels vacation.

I mean after watching and following CSI, the Las Vegas one, why would you not want to go to Las Vegas and have some fun. I mean after all you may see a really cool crime scene and people filming it . . . hehehehehe.

Well hope that you have a most wonderful day out there. And please do not forget to use your vacation wisely.

Pay-Go, Now?

2009-06-14T13:31:00.003-05:00

Obama has decided that the country now needs a pay-go system for spending in government. This system in and of itself is a good thing. It is like the governemnt being on a really good diet pill.

however to balance the budget there are two things that are required. When any of us has a budget shortfall we need to do one of these two things.

First: we can increase revenue. This means we need to go out and get a second job. Ask for a raise, find something to sell. In government parlance this means to increase taxes. Any tax increase in government is a zero-sum gain. This means that we have to rob from one and give to another.

Second: we can decrease expenses. This means we buy ground beef instead of steak. We buy the cheap TP with bark in it instead of the nice quilted stuff.

Now for the real question. When was the last time government cut expenses/cost? The answer us simple. NEVER!

This means tax increases on everything.

So how is that hope and change working out for you.

Here is a great video that shows the wonderful cuts have made so far.

A New Day, A New Failure

2009-06-14T13:01:00.004-05:00

Well . . . well . . . well . . .

It looks like it has happened again . . . Obama has failed once again.

Obama said that there was a new tone in Iran since his speech in Egypt and he had changed the face of the mideast.

This again shows another abject failure of Obama.

Finding A Camera

2009-06-13T20:22:00.003-05:00

We are in the market for a new digital camcorders and a new camera. One thing I have found is that many try to make it easy by having ways to narrow down choices.

However, since we are having two people use this camera what i am finding out is that no amount of charts can help two people try to use one camera. They argue and fight over weight and size. This seems to be the biggest challenge to a new camera.

Can I have a chart for this?

Walking Around Throwing Things

2009-05-24T17:23:00.005-05:00

Well this is Memorial Day Weekend, I have been having to much lately. I walking around trying to be a fat burner by doing disc golf. I have been walking several miles a day throwing my arm like crazy. I have to confess that my arm hurts like heck.

This is so much fun that I cannot believe it.

My kids are doing beating throwing discs. My son is quite good at it and has a really weird throw that makes my look wimpy.

Well I am off to work on my throws.

Have a most happy day.

Good Job Obama

2009-05-14T21:41:00.002-05:00

Well I have to say a good job Obama. He has done something good. He is officially opposing the release of the so called 'torture' photos. Now while these people will not look like concentration camp victims on weight loss pills. Now that is the good news.

Now for the bad news. Obama could prevent the release of photos with a single executive order. He does not need to oppose, he needs to take action.

Well just a happy thought.

Have a good day.

Future Money and Policy

2009-05-14T21:31:00.002-05:00

When looking at the future the question is that of what to do moneywise. Some are suggesting debt consolidation while other suggest that nothing happen.

Of course one of the best suggestions I have seen is that we should invest in what Obama wants. So what this mean is with green energy items. No matter what we think. Obama is clear that there will be winners and losers under Obama, so invest with the perchosen winners.

Seems like good advice.

Follow Colin Powell?

2009-05-14T12:42:00.003-05:00

It has been suggested that Colin Powell be the leader and giver of vision for the republican party. While he may look good in equestrian apparel and sound well spoken, is Colin Powell the right person to follow?

Let's look at his record in the last election.

The party's nominee was John McCain the exact moderate attract people that Powell wanted. Who did Powell endorse?

Oh yeah, the Democrat, Barry Obama. As I recall Powell even sort of campainged for the Bamster.

Why should Republicans follow Powell in any way shape or form.

Good Place for Good Time

2009-05-13T21:00:00.006-05:00

It is now vacation time. I wondering about the stuff that Obama has been hard on the travel industry. Obama has been ruining the travel industry. So right now is a good time to go some where fun like, Outer Banks rentals as well as a few other places.

Going out to some of the resort places you will find some great deals. Have a great summer vacation.

Spending!

2009-05-13T06:56:00.002-05:00

Well I am glad to announce that my recession is over. Today in the mail I received a set of checks from my credit card company. Says 0% intrest and I can go out and buy that new baby jogger stroller we need.

The great news is that I can get 20K on each of the four checks for a total of 80K. This means it is over. I do not have to worry for years about going to work. I am so happy!

After all if this is good for America, as BO (Obama) has demonstrated to us. The best way to get out of debt is to spend and borrow like a drunken whore. Of course the real question, since we are coming up on the time BO (Obama) likes to find new jobs, we are in real trouble.

Future Money

2009-05-12T10:10:00.003-05:00

Just like best appetite suppressant will help with not eating, the government needs one for spending.

President Obama has suggested spending 1.8T in deficit spending. This amount is 4x the amount of last years budget problem which was called horrid. We will be printing 50 cents for every dollar spent. This will place America in debt that we may never be able to climb out of.

So congrats to kids you are now broke.

The Game on my iPod.

2009-05-11T09:26:00.002-05:00

My favorite team is and has always been the California Angels. Of course they are now called the Los Angels Angels of Anaheim.

My parents recently bought me a sports gifts of the Angles. It is a new blanket that will go on my chair. When I sit my chair and listen to baseball on my iPod it is quite nice.

I used to listen to about 100 games on the radio per year. Since I moved I ave had to pay to listen . . . grrrr. Well in any case it is nice to listen to the Angles again.

Have a most happy day.

Remastering an Orginal

2009-05-03T21:43:00.004-05:00

Okay so I am really hung u on Star Trek right now.

I have been watching the remastered Star Trek episodes. I am a huge fan of these no remasterings of these episodes. They are just awesome. It is almost like watching new for the first time.

There is new sound effects that will rock your audio racks off.

I love the special effects that were added in. SO much for the cheesy old stuff. I have to confess the new hand phaser effect is my least favorite. The space action is just awesome. What is really fun, is that i have not seen most of the episodes without being cut up. I really really like these episodes.

There are a serious recommend for viewing.

Star Trek Coming Soon

2009-05-03T18:54:00.004-05:00

I have to confess that I am getting more and more excited about the new Star Trek movie. I am really expecting some good things from this . . . though I have to hold my breath, every time I hope for a great movie . . . well let me say that I get a little frustrated. I am usually ready to bang my head on a copper kitchen sinks.

To prep for the movie I am watching some of the old episodes and boy are they good. Of course I am seeing more and more funny things the original corpus.

Of course one of my favorite characters is from the Animated Series.

Have a happy day!

Thinking of Hard

2009-04-27T20:29:00.005-05:00

Now that we have problems with AIG going into BK we have to question where is a good place for business insurance and well as best term life insurance. BO (Pres. Obama) has now been in office nearly 100 days.

this mythical landmark is often a look at how BO has done and will do.

Looking at what he has done is simple. Nothing. There is only promise of doing something. BO has tried to fix many things and yet all there are is problems. No solutions just problems.

Have a most happy day.

The American System

2009-04-18T20:37:00.004-05:00

While there seems to be a sale of America to the world, America is still trying to pump along.

Howie is pushing hard with a new and funny video.

You have to love these things. Howie is always funny and making jokes about all kinds of odd things. This is how America moves along. People do what they do best and making the economic system move along.

So for Howie doing his part.

This bud is for you!

Have a great night.

The Truth Project, Science, Critique

2009-04-11T21:40:00.003-05:00

This is a review and a look at the fifth part of The Truth Project. This section is on science.

I have delayed writing this for several reasons. The first and foremost is that the truth project is frustrating me.

Del Tackett thesis is G-d made the universe and bad people try to say that it is not true. Do not listen to the bad people.

Once again Tackett moves into the us verses them arguments. What is true? Well a person who is philosophically minded will have one answer whereas the (evil music here) atheistic god hating scientist has a differing view.

This is where Tackett really runs into problems. He brings up philosophical naturalism. We use philosophy to understand reality. When we use philosophy we have to come the realization that something bigger then myself exists out there in the world. This thing made everything we see. Why do we say this? Because it would be silly say that I found this item and I came to the conclusion that given billions of years and rain and weather gave me this rock.

Of course it would be silly assume that this item, an arrowhead, just sprung into existence. Of course it was man made.

Therefore . . . how silly is it to assume that the next item is just sprung through a pattern of random factories.

After all a giraffe has a complex set vessels that go with the long neck so the head does not pop when it bends down for the drink. Here are some problems with the giraffe.

Which came first?
The long neck or the long legs? Both are needed for balance
The long neck or the long tongue?
The long tongue or the dark tongue?
The complex circulatory system or the long neck?

To give the thousands of generations that would be required to have the long neck to get to the high trees it would have starved. The first long neck giraffe would have popped its head at the first drink.

Philosophical naturalism can answer these question easily. However, Scientific naturalism cannot answer these questions.

Scientific naturalism is that we can only comment on what we can see and observe. This is most of science. Hence, science only concerns itself with what is, not what maybe.

Tackett’s other big idea is that Darwin has influenced everything. To this I agree. Darwin has influenced just about every field of study. Is this bad? Maybe, maybe not. However, there are questions by some about ditching Darwin because of the problems with Darwin.

The largest hole in Tackett’s approach is that all he says is evolution is wrong. Not so much why creation is right. Not to mention, Tackett never give scientific proof for his reasons, on a section of science.

In conclusion: Tackett again messes up with philosophical and scientific naturalism by overlapping the two. Second, the us against them is everywhere. Lastly, he does nothing to prove from a scientific basis that evolution is wrong.

The Greatest Day of the Year

2009-04-06T20:45:00.003-05:00

There are many good days in the year. However, today is the best day of the year. Not because I found the best diet pill out there.

Today is Opening Day for Baseball.

today is the future, we all know that we can accomplish everything.

We can all go to the World Series.

Ahhh baseball is back.

Why is there snow on the ground here? Hey where is Al Gore? I have a complaint.

Today is the first day.
