The History Corner of What Was

A Few Years From Now.

2012-02-07T14:53:00.000-08:00

One of the odd things that I think we will have in the future looking back is the ability to read data. We can easily read items that are 500 years old. There is no problem. Now what if you need a xbox 360 hdmi cable and have no clue what it is or how to find one.

Just like chats, video chats, emails, will all these survive a few hundred year to be viable for future historians?

Have a good day.

Crazy News In Global Warming

2012-01-29T13:59:00.000-08:00

I am surprised of all the news on global warming. While the arizona pool fence is nice and staying warm. I am seeing a transition.

Right now there seems to be a difffering with a -50 degrees in Fairbanks Alaska. Now others are saying there is a min-ice age next. The Wall Street Journal had a op-ed on the fakes of global warming.

Well stay warm or cool out there.

Having Fun

2012-01-24T14:58:00.000-08:00

While my wife was grabbing her nursing scrubs she was talking about settled science. We talked for a bit and admitted that if there is settled scicne can she agree to accept it.

She said yes and eager to do so.

I point out that for over 1000 years the settled science showed that the earth was the center of the universe. Or what we call a geocentric universe. Needless to say she dropped her point.

Personal Milestone.

2012-01-24T07:53:00.001-08:00

Here is one for my own personal history. I have been so busy working on restaurant loans that this is the first time since the mid 70s that I have not seen at least one movie up for academy awards Best Pict cat.

They of course are:
"The Artist" Thomas Langmann, Producer
"The Descendants" Jim Burke, Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Producers
"Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" Scott Rudin, Producer
"The Help" Brunson Green, Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan, Producers

"The Tree of Life" Nominees to be determined

Steve

2012-01-04T21:35:00.001-08:00

Wow I am have been listening to the Steve Jobs biography. It is just amazing, sort of like when I had to do some cd duplication services. Steve was truly a one of kind who Thought Different.

It just amazes me how much control he wanted and how well he did everything. And amazed at how he did things. I would hate to have been a waiter for him.

Well I hope that you have a super day. And have a happy new year.

The Long And WInding Headache

2011-12-29T20:10:00.000-08:00

Well we are finally come down to the starting gate of the presidential season. I am ready to send my wife some feel better flowers as a political wonk like me loves this.

The worst part of all the whole 2012 thing is that so far it has gone on forever and a day and we still have a 5 days to go before the first ballot is cast.

Well I hope that you are ready for a rocky ride. And no predictions here.

Tmobile and ATT

2011-12-19T17:18:00.000-08:00

Well here we go ATT is not buying Tmobile. The good news is that Tmobile is going to get a pile of money. The better news is that I am not going to have to change services. Even better than that medical computer carts will work well.

"AT&T has officially announced that it no longer plans to purchase T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom. In a press release, the company said, 'The actions by the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice to block this transaction do not change the realities of the U.S. wireless industry. It is one of the most fiercely competitive industries in the world, with a mounting need for more spectrum that has not diminished and must be addressed immediately. The AT&T and T-Mobile USA combination would have offered an interim solution to this spectrum shortage. In the absence of such steps, customers will be harmed and needed investment will be stifled.'"

Well I hope that you have a great day.

Small Town Beer

2011-12-07T04:28:00.000-08:00

So my friend and I were out and goofing the other day. He took his titanium jewelry wedding ring off to play pool. Now why he did this is beyond me. And he set it down.

We played pool and drank beer. Guess what he forgot? So we go home, I only had two beers he was a a little more drunk. I deleviered him home and all without his ring.

Of course all the panic. The good news.
He called the bar and they had his ring.

I love living in a small town.

Turkey Crashes Party

2011-11-24T19:01:00.000-08:00

While I am wondering if my 5th wheel insurance would cover this type of accident.
On thanksgiving a turkey flew into a restraunt.

"PENN HILLS, Pa. -- A wild turkey apparently flew into an Eat'n Park restaurant on -- of all days -- Thanksgiving.
The 15-pound turkey was found among a pile of shattered glass on the carpet near some booth tables around 3 p.m.
Nobody was inside the restaurant on Frankstown Road, which was closed for the holiday."

I mean for real . . . how weird does that get. Have a really good day.

Finding Food

2011-11-13T18:51:00.000-08:00

I really like reading and enjoying things. One of the the things that my wife likes to find is used restaurant equipment for sale becasue she loves cooking things and likes well done things. I mean her cooking is becoming really really good. I guess some of those cooking shows are paying off.

I like the way that she cooks and is doing quite well in her new cooking.

Well I hope that you have a great day.

Smething Unique.

2011-11-06T14:10:00.000-08:00

So my wife and were looking into getting some Personalized Stamps that she though were cute. She wanted dogs and cats and kids. I wanted to recreate some famous stamps. I have a rather large stamp collection and know what I wanted.

But she was quite the fuddy dude and we have one of the kids.

I hope that you have a great day.

Something newer something faster

2011-10-28T12:33:00.000-07:00

I am needing a new really good gaming computers that will allow me to have a much faster computer.

I am needing some newer computer as I am thrilled with the prospect of everying going faster and faster on my day to day work. It seems that my computer has been running slower as time has progressed.

Well I hope that you have a great day.

Create It

2011-10-20T19:33:00.000-07:00

One of the coolest things I have seen lately is the some Personal Creations free shipping that come along. I like the whole personal creation and getting exactly what you want and not some pre boxed stuff you do not want. This is important to me.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day.

Finding the Right Thing

2011-10-20T10:12:00.000-07:00

One of the things I have struggled with my sister is what to give as presents. We are both not in each others world so I struggle what gift for sister to give and she of course is on the gift for brother. She out did herself last year sending me this AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Chocolate covered strawberries that were to die for.

I am really hoping for a repeat this year. Well here is hoping sis.

Have a great day.

Valley Forge

2011-10-11T22:30:00.001-07:00

Well winter is coming. ANd every winter I think of Valley Forge and the time the Patriots spend encamped there. I wonder if people today could deal with that without all the heated blanket and other such things. I mean many people have suggestd that todays Americans would have a problem with the toughness at Valley Forge.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day.

Ring Ring RIng

2011-09-30T17:56:00.001-07:00

Well here is a new one. I am getting requests via one of my many blogs to start attending conference calling services for the 12 dwarfs. i mean I have had 4 differing candidates groups email me asking me to participate. Now want am I supposed to do. There are only two out there I really like this time around and one of them is not Ron Paul. The reason for a nix on Paul is his foreign policy.

I would rather be happy.

2011-09-18T19:41:00.000-07:00

I have been reading some of the historic lols and there are some really funny car accident items on there and some wacked out cars or ideas of cars from the turn of the centurary, meaning the 1900s. And well I wonder how you would even be able to do any auto estimating on these cars for cost purposes. I mean some of them that were built are just . . . well one of a kind.

One of my favorite ones is this red cigar looking car which makes me wonder what sigmand freud would say. Speaking of SF, there is a set of pictures of him on there and he never looked happy.

Giving.

2011-09-04T21:32:00.001-07:00

Well one question that there has been in history is when to give a promise ring or other such token that admonishes the love one has for another person. These tokens have always been well . . . sort of odd at times. Today we have the promise ring and then an engagement ring. Think of the promise as a pre-engagement ring. Well in olden days this promise may be done with a sheep or goat.

I think . . . i like today better. Seems more . . . what does one say . . . transportable.

Well you have a great day and please be careful out there.

sifting through

2011-08-30T09:40:00.000-07:00

Well I have been thinking about how can unemployment be stimulas? I mean after all we do not want the federal money ending up in worm bins with the composters doing vermiculture. However, I think my problems with unemployment go further than that.

I mean when you get some little bit of work on the side, they take away an equal amount of money. This means you work for only a two dollar an hour or so. After running the numbers

Have a good day.

EOS

2011-08-19T17:54:00.000-07:00

Well I have to confess that I have been so much time on the wii lately that I have not had much time to post. It has been a long summer and I have spent a lot time goofing off. Now that school is here it is time to get back to the classroom and do some of that good ole teaching.

In any case I will start posting here more often on a regular basis. See you again soon.

Have a great day

Asking The Question.

2011-08-16T21:16:00.000-07:00

I am still wondering what this years political season wil og down in history as. It is all the drama and intrest that one could hope for within the realm of politics. There is the clawfoot tubs who are working at. What amazes me still is how the press is so one sideded against the republicans. This showed off with a guy asking the president a question that was a 'hard' question.

The press berated this kid for asking the question. Maybe the press should ask these questions.

Snorkle

2011-07-28T20:31:00.000-07:00

So I was working on going to on a vaction to the Caribbian as I want to do some snorkeling and diving. One of the cool things that I found was some 5MP camera goggles. These are great as you look and click. These are some of the cooler things that I have seen and that i like. So needless to say I have to pop some money for this trip.

Have a great day.

Shattering Memories.

2011-07-16T20:10:00.001-07:00

One of the things that I have always been find of from growing up was the ROP program at school. There was in the middle of Orange County a place to take weird animals. When i say weird I mean unusal animals. Such primates, possums, ferrets (please note that at least at the time ferrets were HIGHLY illegal in CA). So we would get these animals in and have to take care of them. It was sort of a small zoo and pre-vet life.

Vichy France

2011-07-11T15:08:00.001-07:00

So my wife was looking for weight loss pills for women and sauntered over to wikipedia and she asked me what is Vichy France?

When used in relation to WWII Vichy France refers to the collboration government set up to help the Nazis. Of course it did not survive wwii and the people involved ended up getting hurt after the fall of the nazis.

Well I hope that give the quick meaning of Vichy France.

Have a most happy day.

MN and History.

2011-07-09T22:15:00.000-07:00

I am still looking at Minnesota I am dumbfounded with the thoughts that the state is closed down. The businesses in the state are still up and running providing jobs. This is the type of liberty that the founders of our country died for. Not some whining politicians who's only thought is to liberate you from your work. When you make money that is a sign of your labor. But the
Ray Bans are still being sold. Now let's be real here. We often only casually associate those two things. But your labor and actions that you apply to your sweat and toil is liberty. When the government takes that money from you they are taking your liberty.

Taliban

2011-06-22T19:29:00.000-07:00

Well this is the time of year I like to use my outdoor fire pit we have place a TV out there and managed to watch Obama say that he is drawing down the surge. I have concerns about this draw down as it seems to be a political decision and not a military decision. Well time will tell and hopefully the Taliban will not take over, again.

have a happy day.

Shuffle

2011-06-22T19:13:00.000-07:00

Well after some more thoughts, I am of thinking of getting her an ipod shuffle for that day in August where we recall the ball and chain being added on. Well she should like it for the gym as it is really light and wears well. When I wear mine I barley feel it on my sleeve and the headphones cord is more of an issue, but I squared that one away.

Well I hope that you have a great day.

August THoughts

2011-06-22T19:06:00.000-07:00

Now that time is moving again towards August I am starting to think of personalized anniversary gifts for him. We never know what to get each other as time just seems to be that we have most everything. So get something that is personal and hopefully one of a time. I would buy an ipod but she has one already.

Have a great day

Harmon Killebrew

2011-05-28T18:04:00.000-07:00

While I am sure later in years Harmon Killebrew had under eye dark circles however has young guy he was bright eyes and a great baseball player. He is one of the people I wish I could have watched playing baseball.

I live in Twins area land so it has been hard here. I have learned about the man and all the studd he has done.

Have a great day and hit a homerun.

Dick Cheney and His Book

2011-05-18T18:41:00.000-07:00

Well Cheney has finally published his book. I am sure he has been using the inetsoft reporting tools to write his memoirs. Of course this is pretty normal for politicos to write their memories down. I have to say at least it provides, usually, a good primary source for 100 years down the road.

Of course that would assume there will be a format to read an e version of the book.

Have a good day.

New Laws

2011-05-10T10:58:00.000-07:00

Well here is fun news. link above. Your Téléphones cellulaires is going to be required to have a new chip in it which will require you to receive messages from the government. What really bothers me is that this is a new chip. Will this chip track you? Will it report where you are at?

These are the questions that we would like to know.

What sort of important news will the government send to me? And why would I care what he or she is saying.

HAve a happy day.

WHo Is John Galt.

2011-05-09T19:35:00.000-07:00

I have been reading Atlas Shrugged for the past while. This is a really good book. The movie clearly does not do it justice. After all we should all consider what John Galt did not term life insurance information. Would have been more fun.

The movie does not clearly give Ayn Rands view of selfishness. The story is that of liberty. The kind of liberty most people do not know and do not want to live with.

On that note. I would encourage you to listen or read the book.

Have a good day.

Funny About history

2011-05-05T10:50:00.000-07:00

The Fog of War is a really fun term. Ut defines the that there is so much action going on that you do not know what is going on in the battlefield.

The Obama admin has used this word rather differently. They complain about the things that are in the war. They had plenty of time to do a debrief and get the seal team their liponox reviews and still have plenty of time to get the announcement out in time for inturrepting Trump the Chump's show.

Have a great day

Osama Going Down

2011-05-04T11:12:00.000-07:00

I am amazed at the reaction of the Osama Bin Laden issue There has been some serious amounts of oddness with the while thing. It will take years to get the whole story out of the whatever units and people were used with their internal hgh supplements.

THe story is switching all the time to make Obama look better. I am really scared about how this will all end up. We need to have some good historians look into the issues and all the problems.

Have a most happy day.

Useage

2011-04-24T15:24:00.000-07:00

One of the great things in life and history has been the printer. This gave the world books. Now we are into this electronic age with computers, mimio, iPads and more. All ways to store out stuff for the future.

I mean how in 20 years will we save out data and use it. I have a floppy that I can't use.

Have a happy day

Well New Book

2011-04-14T11:31:00.001-07:00

Well a new fun book is coming out that will embelish the designer upholstery fabric that we all use and like. The fun book is coming out from the publisher of Penthouse. The book looks at the made up sex lives of presidents. While there is some truth in the book, such as with Clinton and Kennedy.

Well the real problem is that now every president seems to be a devient. Gotta love stoopid books like that.

Well I hope that you have a great day.

Easter Fun

2011-04-03T16:27:00.000-07:00

One of the things that I like about Easter is the really cool easter eggs. Eggs started being decorated about 500 years prior to Christ. The Zoroastrians started the decorating of eggs to celebrate spring. Later it would come to Christians to celebrate Christ and the resurrection. Then comes the idea in America to find Easter toys for baskets. Now today in America, we are having a lack of Easter. The picture below is of Ukranian eggs.

Odd Times

2011-03-30T19:10:00.001-07:00

Well here you go with this whole Libya thing . . . I am really amazed at how the face change and how much the dems love this attack on Libya. While Kadaffi needs some OxyElite Pro to stay in control.

In 2002 Barry Obama said that having a war to tobble a brutal dictator was a Dumb War.

Obama said:

“Now, let me be clear – I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein, He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied U.N. resolutions, thwarted U.N. inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He's a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him."

Kinda funny how times change.
Have a great day.

Into the Building

2011-03-30T12:02:00.000-07:00

Okay so I was doing some reasearch while you were thinking about wilson electronics cell booster, I found some fun history.

In June 1945 a B-25 Mitchell bomber, like pictured below:

was on approach to an NYC airport in the fog when . . . all of a sudden the Empire State Building

jumped up and out of the ground and attacked the B-25 bomber. Of course the crew tried to avoid the building but in the fog of the AM it was hard to.

So the bomber flew into the Empire State Building. Creating this little problem:

The only people who were hurt was the plane crew who died in the crash.

How about that little bit of history.

Have a great day.

2012 Carter

2011-03-20T12:36:00.001-07:00

Time for Jimmy Carter to come out of retirement and once again run for president of the United States.

As should be noted Jimmy Carter has Middle East experinace. Which would seem to be really important.

Jimmy Carter for President.

We need a real man in the White House.

Carter 2012

Reverse Income Tax

2011-02-28T19:29:00.000-08:00

Here we go again. While Milton Friedman did not suggest looking green cleaning products he suggested a reverse income tax.

This of course does not address the moral issue of taxation. That moral issue is stealing from one person and giving to another.

The basic idea is that everyone get (as an example) $20K. If you only earn $15K then the government would send you $5K. This would eliminate all the in between steps and people who collect money and get rich off the poor.

have a great day.

McGuire

2011-02-26T23:24:00.000-08:00

I am still wondering on how much St Louis Card Mark McGuire will ever get into the hall of fame. I mean with his growth hormone reviews. I wonder how long the baseball hgh issue will go on through the hall of fame.

I love baseball and am hoping that this will go away soon and ends up with good things.

Well I hope that you have a great day.

Listening to History.

2011-02-26T23:07:00.000-08:00

I am a big fan listening to podcasts. Sometimes you have to jump around podcasts to find one that is really good. I asked for best acne treatment to find a good one. I really like history according to bob as well as history of rome.

Well I hope that new ones will come out and keep getting better and better. I like listening to podcasts on the way to work.

Well I hope that you have great day.

Churchill

2011-02-20T20:09:00.000-08:00

One the odd questions I wonder about is something about how to lose belly fat and how modern ideas of looks how would Winston Churchill of looked. Hence one of the problems that we have with modern society.

He said one of my more favorite quotes: If you are going to go through hell, keep going.

I mean how perfect is that, we always say we are going through hell and we assume that we are always stuck there.

Kudos to Churchhill.

History in Making

2011-02-20T16:59:00.000-08:00

I am amazed at all the protests going on in the world. There is something going on that is causing dark circles under eyes from all threading that I have been doing.

I am following these events closely as I think there is something to greatly learn. I am wondering what the long term consquenses to the United States will be. Right now there are many people looking at everything. I look at the issues in Wisconsin and wonder the similar items.

Going on Break Out

2011-02-17T21:24:00.001-08:00

I would love to read the history of this time in the future. Say a 100 years from now. Will they call this the breakdown service or just a total loss. After all America is having some real problems that need to be addressed. The head of the state seems to be ignorning most of the major problems and instead inserting what he wants as major problems.

Well I hope tht you have good day and manange to live within your means.

FInding HElps

2011-02-17T10:47:00.000-08:00

One of the things that I would like as a teacher are some games that would go along with school that are good games. You know something like you would see on a WII or an xbox.

The games out there just need some help. And I want these games to appeal to teens not to third graders. They also cannot not have blood guts gore and veins in the teeth type of games.

I hope that you have a great day.

Limit Risk

2011-02-13T21:05:00.000-08:00

I am sure that car insurance started off as something really good. We have to remember that insurance is to limit your financial liability. Just like health insurance. After all no one can insure your health. The only thing that insurance does is to limit risk.

So remember your need of limiting your risk with risk.

Have a most happy day.

Local House

2011-02-10T13:43:00.000-08:00

I recently visited a local senic and old house that was amazing. The house was built all at one fell swoop rather than over a period of time. There were plantation shutters that just perfectly accented the house. And the house was in just awesome shape after they moved and did some really good restoration.

Well I love old houses in particular ones that are in good condition.

Well I hope that you have a great day.

BC Issues.

2011-01-19T19:46:00.000-08:00

I was reading about the Obama and his birth certificate issue. The governor of Hawaii is looking hard for his best tattoo removal creams and the birth certificate of his friend. As it turns out so far the birth certificate cannot be found so far.

Well I am hoping that this will be found and be resolved before 2012. This should be resolved sooner rather than later. I wonder what will happen to the laws that Obama has signed if ther has not been a problems.

I hope that you have a good day.

helping women live longer

2011-01-19T10:52:00.001-08:00

One of the greatest things that has helped in achieving a longer life expectancy. Is to help along with pregancey. Remember women used to die from giving birth. Today it is very rare. With prenatel vitamins like prenexa. Taking care of women dieing in child birth is one of the few ways to get a handle on so that you can get quick +20 years on life expectancy

Well I hope that you have a great day and please remember life expectancy is getting higher and higher.

Like Wow.

Living Longer

2011-01-19T10:36:00.000-08:00

Green Movie

2011-01-15T17:13:00.000-08:00

Well I watched Green Hornet. Not a fan of the movie at all. I thought the movie was quite silly and the acting was horrid. The script was piss poor.

There was a funny seen with a gateway laptops that sort of got trashed. Not to sure how to think about the Green Hornet other than Ick.

Have a good day.

Picts from Trips

2011-01-09T18:49:00.000-08:00

IT is so nice for the holidays I was given a digital frame that I now put my Washington DC picts one.

I love looking at the pictures from trips. It reminds me of the trips that I went to. Well it also reminds me that I want to go to other places. I love taking pictures.

Well I hope that you have a great day.

New Jersery Tries to Scam Gift Cards

2011-01-03T11:42:00.000-08:00

Imganie this . . . you are at the store ready to buy your new brake rotors for your car. Your turn comes up and you are ready to pay. You have this two year old gift card that your wife (or other) bought for you for your birthday. She bought the month before you lost your job and you decided to hang on to the card

And it does not work. Why not you ask yourself in Centeral NJ. The state of NJ has taken over account and stolen your money. OMG are you kidding me? Of course not.

Good news for the tyranny of the government.

Reading More Books

2011-01-03T11:31:00.000-08:00

I have been reading a lot of items lately. Between the night cream reviews in some magazines, I have been hitting books. I have hit the Narnia books again. I need to finish them before I have classes again.

This spring I may be taking a class on homeland seurity. This could be a lot of fun or really bad I have decided what it is. However, I do not want to have extra reading during the semster.

I hope that you have a great day.

Something Cool

2011-01-02T15:10:00.001-08:00

This year was one of the first I did not recieve a holiday cards from the POTUS. I always send one the first year in office and get one back the next year. Really cool.

Well this year I did not get one. I wonder why? No reason, other then manybe I did not send a donation check. Even Clinton was no that bad. But still it would ahve been nice for the collectin.

have a great day and a great new year.

Internet Day.

2010-12-25T20:13:00.000-08:00

I have recently found a handy page that deals with early American History and the criminal justice issues.

One of the cool things that I like about the internet is the amount of good info that is avalible. And so on today, Christmas day we need to celebrate internet day. Today is the anniversiery of the of the internet.

Well I hope that you have a good day.

Missile Silos

2010-12-18T18:36:00.000-08:00

i was headed to mount rushmore . . . and we were spending a day or three there. We went to Rapid City and bought a distributor water filter for the RV.

Of course on the way there . . . there is a minuteman missile silo historical monument. There you can go inside of an old missile silo. Well worth seeing on your way from Wall Drug to Rapid City and Mount Rushmore.

Well I hope that you have a great day. Go out and see some history.

Looking For That

2010-12-09T19:06:00.000-08:00

I often wonder what the future will look at for us. I mean when looking back how will be evluatd and understood. What will people make of cubic zirconia engagement rings as compared to other precious diamonds.

I actually did give zirconia ring. It was a great ring and she loved it.

Well I hope that you have a great day.

What The Beatles THought

2010-12-07T20:25:00.001-08:00

Kinda odd how do you define a revolution? That does not include girls shorts for muslims? A friend of mine just gave this to me as part of his final exam for a test.

Now how does this stack up? He wrote:
A revolution is a sudden, usually violent, change of a governmental system, which has lasting change, that is brought on by officials, systems and economic issues, where the people rise up encouraging the critical mass of people that are needed for a revolution to occur.

Iran and Revolution pt 2

2010-12-01T18:36:00.000-08:00

One of the odd things about the Iranian Revolution is the Ayatollah Khomeini is that he had little direct influance upon the revolution proper. He mostly came in after the revolution was over and there was a massive power vaccum to fill. He never expected to see msm supplement or revolution in his country during his lifetime.

Last note: the Ayatollah Khomeini was in France during the Revolution.

Iran and Revolution pt 1

2010-11-30T19:32:00.000-08:00

History is such an odd thing. I recently read a book on the Iranian Revolution of 1979. We in the United States often know and remember the post revolution. This book basically gives a colovexus reviews of the second worst president ever, Jimmy Carter.

Carter was all about human rights.

However, he dod not follow or live up to the human rights that he promised.

Moe about that later.

Revolution.

2010-11-19T17:38:00.001-08:00

Just like the top 10 diet pills I have been taking a class on the 20th Century Revolutions.

Kinda of a cook class.

Some of it has changed my mind of how I view revolutions from a global persepevtive. I mean the results from Mexico are just amazing. I will talk about that in the future.

The hardest were of course Guatemala and Iran. After all we were knee deep in both and neither ended the way you would want

Have a great day.

Shah of Iran

2010-11-19T16:49:00.000-08:00

I recall the Shah of Iran as a student while in high school. Of course one of the odd things that I found out. The Shah had come to the US seeking medical care, not weightlosstablets.

As it turns out in his autobiography The shah denied ever coming to the US and receiving medical treatment. He did come to the US without question. I remember the reports at the time told us people that the Shah recieved medical treatment.

Hav e a good day.

Obama as Shivia

2010-11-18T20:11:00.000-08:00

Here is one for you. I am worried about the future people looking at us. Between the TSA and now Obama as Shivia.
I wonder how this will make people feel about Obama. I think this is horrid. The title is God of all things. Obama is not anything close to a god in any way shape or form.

This is just horrid. This image gets me so mad. I will say that the color looks good and wonder if they used laserjet 2840 toner.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day and get moving on life.

Remember the 2nd of Novemeber

Remember the Future

2010-11-11T05:14:00.000-08:00

One of the problems that we have is how to record things for 500 years from now. We used to write in books and in letters. Now we write on the computers and store things on DVD and blu ray movies.

The the question remains how to pass on this legacy to our heirs. I have noticed they are still not to sure how to do this. So if you come up with a way to store the net and everything else let me know.

Have a good day.

This week and Results

2010-11-05T18:40:00.000-07:00

Wow this week was a good week. Amazing how much history happened. The Republicans have just creamed the dems, I doubt that we will ever see anything like this ever again in my or your lifetime.

I was watching the news under the Casablanca fans that were whirring away and making predictions based on results.

It amazes me how many dem strong holds fell. Memphis, and IL., and Iowa, and just wow. Looking at the map bled red is just amazing.

I will talk more about this later.

Have a great day.

News?

2010-10-31T19:42:00.000-07:00

It is amazing reading the news and to see what is not in the news:

9/11 Mosque --- no longer in the news
Deficts --- no longer in the news
Health Insurance --- is no longer in the news
GM and Chrysler --- are both no longer on the headlines

What is in the news:
Politico making up news
Tons of cheating
George Bush being a scumbag
CBS Making up news

I would at this point rather hear a story on an iphone warranty. At least that would be useful.

I wonder why some are out and some are in? Could it be to help the election of dems?

Eddie!

2010-10-27T21:34:00.000-07:00

Okay so a little of my own personal history. I used to a big fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I mean a big fan. I was eddie. So yes, sweet patote bless my soul I really love that rock and roll.

SO while I was looking at some old pictures of me as eddie, I saw that I was using a tone makeup including under eye cream as well as other such things that you would use for Rocky Horror.

Well what brought this was up was hte stoopid show the glee club. What a waste of 1.99 getting it from the itunes store.

Sports - Footballers

2010-10-26T19:44:00.000-07:00

Look at all the old football players from the 20s and 30s. Most of them were smaller than I am today. Today I am trying to increase muscle mass and lose weight.

The 20s and 30s as I talked about earlier there would be better training and people would be able to better atheletes.

Well just a wondering. and i mean wondering

I hope that you have a most happy day.

Sports - Babe Ruth

2010-10-26T19:39:00.000-07:00

I have wondered what sports would be like in the past with the differing supplements that people use today that are like the hgh items we have today.

I wonder with the better training we have today how much better people especially like Babe Ruth would have been. After all he drank and smoked all the time. Since everyone else did that at the time, well he was able to overcome those negatives.

Well I hope that you have a good day.

61 could have been 70.
714 could have been 800.

We Shall Overcome.

2010-10-22T07:11:00.000-07:00

There are some serious blackheads on nose of Harry Reid. Harry is the Senate Majority Leader and he is saying that he is responsible for the Economic Crisis that we are in. He said that he saved the world. Let me see.

Canada is doing great and growing.
China is doing well.
Many countries are doing well economically.

I hope that you have a good day. And remember that we can overcome anything, we are Americans.

Secretariat Pt 1

2010-10-20T09:39:00.000-07:00

I watched the movie Secreitart on Tuesday night. What a great movie and a great horse. While my students who need the best treatment for acne are in class we discussed how to write a good essay.
I came up with a the basics:

Title: Secretariat the Heart of a Royal Champion
Thesis: Secretariat was one of the greatest athletes of all time.
Pt 1 Secretariat had the background of a champion.
Pt 2 Secretariat against all odds won the triple crown.
Pt 3 Secretariat has been honored as a great athlete.
Transition Sentence: Sometimes a great champion is born.

Window

2010-10-15T17:35:00.000-07:00

We were recently out shopping and looking at VeloBind. I saw one style that was Roman. It is was so cool and reminded me what I saw when I was in Rome.

I tried to convinving her that we needed that one. No such luck. I am quite happy with what we have now. So I guess she was right. Oh well, next time I may get my way.

Have a great day.

Firestone's RV

2010-10-14T21:13:00.000-07:00

I was impressed that Ford and a few others had RVs. One of the people who had one was Firestone. Now granted the thing is that there should be cleansonix reviews so the thing could be cleaned.

This thing had a sink and other things in it. I am really impressed with the RV type truck. Well go and take a look and read the really cool article.

Have a great day.

look at the future

2010-10-13T19:48:00.000-07:00

I have several friends who have started to retire or have been injured and are having problems recieving their social security benefits. Most have had problems getting their SSI approved. Now I'm sure that this is not they had in mind when started social security.

I just wish that the goverenment would get their act together and do what they are supposed to do.

Have a good day.

Robin Hood Movie

2010-09-22T13:45:00.000-07:00

I have really enjoyed the Robin Hood that Ridley Scott has brought us. I think that it does a good job of capturing many of the things and way that things were done then. The Bandits, thieves, serfs, and nobles.

Even if they need to have eczema treatments for themselves. I still like this movie.

Of course at the start of the movie . . . why is the barn outside of the walls. I also like that it meantions that Richard not such a good guy.

Have a good day.

Liberty

2010-09-22T07:59:00.000-07:00

I know like many other people I need to learn how to reduce belly fat. However, the government telling me I need to is another thing. If I want to be fat that is my own right and own liberty. People have the right to be who and what they want to be and what they want to look like. The idea of the government telling me what to do and how to live would be an anathema to our founding fathers.

C-C-C-Ch-Ch-Changes

2010-09-21T18:45:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking about the past 15 years and the Internet. The amazing changes over the past many years. We went from needing an insurance agent and waiting days for a quote to now having an online insurance quotes and getting a quote in seconds. Or the other ones . . .

We can order groceries and have them delivered ASAP. I can find a book and have it delivered overnight. I can quickly look up information on the SD House Race and receive information quickly.

Being the empiricist

2010-09-19T19:40:00.000-07:00

Over the years I have become more of an empiricist then I have ever been. I like to see proof of what people say. As an example if someone asks are diet pills safe I want real proof. So I have to search and read. On the issue of history I want to see what is actually true. I mean people will say all kinds of things. So I want real empirical evidence that what people say is true.

OF course what happens is that I can get in trouble being an empiricist

Have a most happy day.

First Time Drive

2010-09-19T12:07:00.000-07:00

Before there were car insurance companies we had to have cars. Have you ever thought about the first generation of people to purchase cars?

These people first had to learn how to drive a car before they bought. Now that would be an experience for the salesmen at the time.

Just one of those fin things to wonder about as you go out for a test drive.

Finding Life

2010-09-15T10:57:00.000-07:00

I was in class earlier this month and we were discussing war. One of the kids brought in from another class (good) about term life insurance online and other such items. He wanted to know if you could get insurance if you were in the army. I explained that most insurance polices are exempt against warfare. However the army has their own program for soldiers. So it is okay as it was really cheap (when I was in).

Have a really good day.

Simple things

2010-09-03T18:40:00.000-07:00

It is amazing at how much we like history when we do our Christmas cards every year. People love calling back to the perceived simpler times and better things. Pictures like Rockwell and Burl and Ives recall what we want.

Yet the funny part is that for the rest of the year most people despise what Rockwell represents. A time of family, love of country, and morality. Just one of those funny things about Americans.

I wonder how many would go back if they could. Just to have things a little less complex. Yet the truth is that past was very complex just like today.

have a great day

Railroad and more fun

2010-08-30T19:47:00.000-07:00

I was talking about with students about how the railroad changed America. Sears of course was one of the great users of the railroad. He started by purchasing a few pocket watches and selling them on the railroad. He then took the sales jobs to the catalog.

With the railroad he was able to ship to everywhere in the nation from their spot in Chicago.

Have a great day.

Teacher and Other Things

2010-08-15T19:39:00.000-07:00

While teaching history I find that I have other things that I get saddled with. One of the things is GED and helping some students to get through the GED. The other one that is more is helping students with their sat prep. I have one student that is doing really well right now on studying and making progress.

From a teacher the best way is study some each day about an hour. Do not cram on the last day.

Have a good day.

Viva' La' Revolution

2010-08-09T11:35:00.000-07:00

Time for new courses and classes. This time around I am taking classes on 20th cent revolutions. viva la revolutions.

This first one is about Iran
The Unthinkable Revolution in Iran

Number is about Russian Revolution from a first hand account by a US reporter, who did have some serious pro-communist feelings.
Ten days that Shook the World (Penguin Classics)

This one looks at the big revolutions of China and Russia.
States and Social Revolutions: A Comparative Analysis of France, Russia and China

Lastly we have the Mexican Revolution.
Villa and Zapata: A History of the Mexican Revolution

I find it odd that the African ones are missing as are several others.

Kids Toys

2010-08-01T21:16:00.000-07:00

One of the fun things that there is in life is getting toys for kids. This weekend I went to an event that showered some really old kids toys from the 1800s.

This was a really good show seeing how small and how minor these toys are compared by today's standards.

Some of the small dolls are just amazing and how small they are. I really wonder about how the kids felt and how much they like them.

Have a most happy day.

The Mob

2010-07-15T17:17:00.000-07:00

Okay so a sidestep from history. I was playing that silly game, mafia wars. What i found funny. if you rob you can earn a maglite led flashlights. Why is that? Who knows. All the really cool things that you can earn . . . you get a flashlight. Oh well Not to sure what that really means.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day. And friend me on facebook and be part of my mafia.

Changes in Life

2010-07-12T08:16:00.001-07:00

We often question why is life expectancy not greatly increasing. Many people who are still alive can recall when life expectancy was in the 50s. Well what does it take to change?

Fix sanintation and clean up the water supply. These two are linked together. The other main thing to help is childbirth. I have to confess that womens vitamins really help in this area, for obvious reasons. Lastly we have to help the infant death rate. Well we fixed all these in 30s through the 50s. Now we deal in the margins.

Kid of Karate

2010-07-11T15:44:00.000-07:00

I watched the new Karate Kid movie, the one with Will Smith's rugrat. I really liked the movie and how it developed the kid. I really liked how the way of fighting was done. Much better then the first. Of course I really liked whole coat thing.

Of course one of the problem is that I noticed that none o the people needed to have belly fat reduction. Of course the one real problem with the movie. I want to go to China more so then ever.

The Story of US

2010-07-09T17:56:00.000-07:00

I hope that many of you get a chance to America: The Story of Us. IT covers the story of the United States from American Indians through all the differing inventions and war till today. It covers all kinds things, including some inventions like prototype 37c and lights and cars.

I really like how the story moves and the pictures that it shows. When you get a chance to watch it, please take a few hours and watch it. Not to mention you take the DVD when it comes out.

200 years from now

2010-07-09T15:43:00.000-07:00

I have been watching Two and Half Men on TV. I have to confess that none of the girls on the TV show need any fat burning pills. This is a cery funny show. What I am figuring out is that I like Chuck Lorry as a writer and producer. So far everything that he has done is quite funny.

Of course the real question. 200 years from now when they figure out how to read DVDs what will this say about our civilization.

Wrastleing

2010-07-08T08:06:00.000-07:00

Today I watched a video on 'pro' wrestling and the message that it gives. As an example, they talked about all the homo-erotic tension. The women who need to have anti wrinkle face cream and are wrestling the guys and normally getting beat up and wearing very little clothes.

I mean really, should we encourage the beating of women and demanding that they do exactly as we tell them. Then beat them and have them say it is their fault. I think not.

eating Cake

2010-06-18T17:49:00.000-07:00

Marie Antoinette is one of my favorite figures in history, I am still convinced that she used tons of wrinkle cream to help her look good. I do hope that her saying, let them cake is a real saying.

Besides that she was quite the lady and her husband was well . . . quite the other ladies man.

After all I think Marie and King Louis have many similarities to this time and age. Well I hope that you have a great day and remember, Let them eat cake.

Good News

2010-06-05T20:29:00.000-07:00

Well Those who want to working their burning belly fat there is good news. It does happen and does work. I have a co-worker who has lost 147 pounds over the past year. He has been doing this under the doc and is doing great. Make me motivated to do lose more and more weight.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day.

Soften Hands

2010-06-05T19:46:00.001-07:00

It is quite funny going on youtube looking at old commercials. One thing I can tell you is that the advertising body has changed. Back then they were not worried about quickweightloss.org. I mean they had normal sized people who were hawking products. I mean just look at Mage who did Palmolive dish soap. After all it softened hands as she did the dishes.

I still laugh at these things.

Lasting

2010-06-02T11:50:00.000-07:00

I have been looking through many of my old pictures that I took in Europe and what amazed me is many of the people do not need best wrinkle cream that is out there.

Must be nice to have a painter instead of a photographer, I mean the photographer will capture every single defect on film forever and ever. And then with the internet, the picture will last forever and ever.

Well I hope that you have a good day.

Pain It helps us think.

2010-06-02T09:54:00.000-07:00

I often wonder why I would ever want a treatment for hemorrhoids that did not work. Which then leads to the question . . . what else would I want to not want to have.

Pain. We have would have to confess that we really prefer to not feel pain. So many people, myself included, do not want pain so we have items so simple from Tylonel to heavier duty items like morphine.

Just a thought on life and pain.

John Kellogg

2010-05-31T19:25:00.000-07:00

I am looking at history of people who are taking diets. Of course Kellogg was a big believer in diets. Today, Well I am really amazed at all the differing diets that are out there. I mean look at differing kinds: low carb, low fat, hcg diet, and many many others, most of these started with Kellogg.

Kellogg was featured in a movie called The Road to Wellville. The Road to Wellville is a really good movie and if you want a view of Kellogg I would suggest that you check out the movie.

I hope that you have a most happy day.
