If you have been following my blog for a while, you would know that only a month or so before being diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, my life was completely changed by the Hoffman Process.
Of course, my life on the outside didn't change. But my attitude to it did. I came home feeling loved, completely loveable. At a very deep level. And my fear of loving others unconditionally, of expressing my affection for them and of telling them just how important they were to me – that fear had dissolved.
And interestingly, the things that I used my career to achieve – approval, winning, fighting – lost any appeal for me. The Hoffman Process taught me I was enough. It connected me to my essential self. I was Essentially Being.
I am forever grateful for these changes. And the timing. Because I had inner strength like never before and when I got the diagnosis, I knew in my core that the healing had begun. I talk about that more in Being Radical – Releasing suppressed emotions.
So today's video guest on the blog is Volker Krohn, Senior Supervising Facilitator and Director of The Hoffman Centre Australia/Singapore.
Volker has to be one of the most compassionate men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. There is no doubt about the love he emanates. Listen as Volker shares how the process changed his life and can change yours too.
« Being healed? Could fasting be the answer?


Rich Miller DataCenterKnowledge reports on IDS's ocean port based data center ship.
In early 2008, startup International Data Security revealed plans to build a fleet of data centers on cargo ships docked at ports in the San Francisco Bay. After an initial flurry of publicity, the company receded from the spotlight amid industry chatter of funding challenges.
Now IDS is back, and the company says it has lined up funding and an anchor tenant for a proof-of-concept "maritime data center" that will dock at Redwood City, Calif. The first vessel is a former training ship for the California Maritime Academy that IDS has acquired and is prepping for renovation. IDS representatives say the company has lined up $15 million for an initial deployment of 500 racks of servers.
One of the points is the concern about salt water.
I've been on the USS Abraham Lincoln air craft carrier looking at some of their IT systems.
The data center space is isolated as IDS says, but it is the cost of all the other systems supporting the space that is beyond most budgets.
I am curious how much lower IDS's costs if they were able to set up a floating data center in a fresh water port.

In 2007 Wendy Alexander, recently elected as leader of the Scottish Labour Party in the aftermath of our first defeat by the SNP, decided that the only viable way forward for our Party was to call the Nationalists bluff on Independence by promoting our own referendum.
I was one of those involved in the inner circle at that time.
I was asked to go to a "secret" meeting in, for some reason, the Scotsman Hotel without even being told the subject matter to be discussed. There were perhaps ten others present; a couple of trusted MSPs, a half dozen formal or informal advisers and, importantly, a pollster.
Wendy outlined her thoughts and, she having selected those present, perhaps unsurprisingly they met with unanimous approval.
But there was one matter on which we had to be absolutely certain: was there any conceivable circumstance that such a referendum could be lost?
For that we could not just rely on our own political gut instinct and for that we turned to the pollster. His view was unequivocal. There was no conceivable circumstance in which Scotland would vote for independence.
There were any number of reasons for this but among them were two central "facts". Firstly, that those who voted SNP in much of rural Scotland were not truly nationalists but rather tactical anti Labour voters and, secondly, that the Labour vote in central Scotland was solid against SNP encroachment. All we had to do was deliver that latter vote and allow the former to return to its natural loyalty and even allowing for any number of adverse campaign circumstance it was difficult to conceive how the nationalists would ever get more than 35% of the vote.
In the political circumstances of 2007 I remain quite certain that this analysis was correct and Labour's decision to reject "bringing it on" was a huge strategic mistake. Why it didn't happen might yet be the subject of another day.
But what's done is done and I am writing this blog against a background of the Nationalists doing a full ten per cent better than we thought they conceivably might.
For what it is worth, and I appreciate that you will have to take me on trust on this, at no point from start to finish did I think there was any prospect of a Nationalist victory over the last two years. It can too easily be forgotten that over that entire period there was but a single reputable opinion poll putting the Nats ahead and the closest odds ever offered by the bookies was 3-1 against in what was always but a two horse race.
My confidence was also founded on the fact that nothing had changed since 2007 in respect of the second pillar of Wendy's analysis. And so it proved. Moray, Angus, Perth and Kinross, Aberdeenshire, all nominally nationalist strongholds, returned among the largest No majorities across the nation. It may well prove in the long term the big winners in what was perceived as an existential struggle between Scottish Labour and the SNP will in fact turn out to be the Scottish Conservatives and (importantly) Unionists.
But the first pillar of Wendy's majority, the one to be delivered by her own Party has, during the referendum eventually held shown itself to have far from stable foundations.
And why that happened is what I want to address today.
I would suggest it had three causes. The first two are entirely self inflicted wounds but the third may highlight for us, electorally, a much more difficult problem to solve.
But I'll deal with the two we can address first.
I have made this point before but I will make it again. Even among people viscerally hostile to the Con-Lib Coalition there is little or no enthusiasm either for a Labour Government or for Ed Miliband personally as Prime Minister.
In my political lifetime the Scottish Party would invariably be significantly boosted by the arrival here of any opposition Labour leader (Wilson, Foot, Kinnock, Smith or Blair) to campaign here. That simply is not the case at the moment. For a Labour leader to enjoy even lower approval ratings in Scotland a Tory Prime minister is an almost unique achievement. And as if that is not enough, except for the fact that it is not a Tory Government, what exactly is the case for a Labour Government? Say what you like about Tony Blair he had big promises in 1997 and big early achievements: The minimum wage; the Independent Bank of England; the massive increase in NHS resources; the cut in class sizes; not least the Scottish Parliament itself.
But by 2010 Labour offered little more than benign managererialism against a background of vicious palace politics. And it's far from clear what more we are offering next year. We are seen as no more in touch with the actual day to day experience of working people than the Tories.
We had a record high turnout in Scotland yesterday but who would bet against a record low turnout in next year's General Election? It simply did not cut the mustard to ask traditional Labour voters during the referendum to stick by us when we struggled to find a response to the answering question "Why?" We have in this regard simply encountered in September 2014 in Scotland what the Party will encounter across Britain in May 2015. Except that in September 2014 Scotland had somewhere else to go. No matter how much we protested that the apparent destination amounted to a mirage.
And the second own goal was in relation to Labour's attitude to the Scottish Parliament itself. I tried to avoid arguments with personal friends during the referendum but I did have a few and I readily agree I did not have all the winning points. At one point a pal protested that Labour politicians were "all useless" and I responded "Is Jim Murphy useless? Is Douglas Alexander? Is (our own MP) Greg McClymont". "No" came the response "but none of them are up here. If we were independent they'd be in the Scottish Parliament". And my only response was to try and move the argument on to a different topic.
The Scottish Labour Party continues to see Holyrood as nothing more than a "big cooncil". So if you are a reasonably competent member of a wee cooncil why shouldn't you head off to Holyrood if the opportunity arises? Well, that's not the view of the electorate who increasingly are unwilling to endorse the "appointment" of the candidates Labour places before them for the devolved Parliament. Yet the selection stampede for 2016 has been undertaken at breakneck speed and with as limited a selectorate as possible to try and protect the position of those already in Holyrood (many by accident) or provide the maximum opportunity for those recently ejected to return. Actually winning back the seats we lost has been no consideration of any sort. So we have just had a referendum campaign where the only contribution most MSPs and PPCs were capable of making was in the delivery of leaflets. A campaign instead fronted by Westminster MPs all with the apparent intention of returning to the green benches at the earliest opportunity.
This will not do. I say this as a friend of the Labour Party who has long abandoned personal political ambition. Unless we tear this up and start again then unless the Nationalists themselves descend into internal recrimination, Labour will be comfortably defeated in May 2016 and will deserve to have been so. And that observation goes in relation to any possible candidate for First Minister chosen from the current Labour Group as well.
And then finally we have the third development. The one we may have less control of. It is best understood by reference to a flag.
Yes Scotland grabbed hold of the Saltire at an early stage of the referendum campaign. In my opinion it was far too easily surrendered by our side but we, the unionist side, did of course have a flag of our own. Arguably the most famous flag in the world. Flown regularly on every public building; adorning the shoulders of every winning British sportsperson; draped over the coffin of every serviceman who makes the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The Union Jack.
But, of course, it would be inconceivable for the (particularly) West of Scotland Labour Party to have any association with the Union Jack. For it is not the flag of many of our most traditionally stalwart supporters. Not just because it is "the flag" of a football team they do not support (!) but because it is a flag to which they have a dubious allegiance.
Until perhaps ten years ago it was almost a given that if you were a Scottish Catholic of Irish origin you would be a Labour voter. That applied even if you were in relative financial comfort yourself. It wasn't where you were now that mattered it was where you had come from. And what's more it was an almost equal given that you would have a certain hesitation about the Scottish Parliament having "too much" power or even, as was proved in 1979, existing at all. There was some logic to that both in respect of a legitimate fear of return to a "protestant ascendancy" the passing of which owed more to the achievements of (British) Labour Governments than to any great movement in that direction from within Scotland itself but also because many of today's Nationalists would concede, privately at least, that Scotland's "National" Party had, historically, a significant "Orange" streak.
It is an entirely benign development that no-one could now see a return to the days where Catholics couldn't get a job in a bank or a shipyard because of their religious observance. So it is perhaps no surprise that a political allegiance once based on class politics and religious tolerance could not survive indefinitely when neither of these factors were at play in the life of at least many Scottish Catholics.
It was always a bit of a contradiction that stalwart supporters of a Thirty Two County Ireland were sceptical about even a modicum of home rule for Scotland but, contradictory or otherwise, that is how it had been. And that brought a price on the side of the political party these people overwhelmingly supported. To preserve the political advantage we gained from that dichotomy, in attempting to make a case against an independent Scotland the one argument that could never be used was that no matter what one might think of the United Kingdom it was a much more culturally mature, ethnically diverse and economically successful place than the Republic of Ireland. And yet it was and it still is. Unemployment is much higher in Ireland than in Scotland, living standards much lower and in relation to the most common cultural interlocutor, the national broadcaster, there is simply no meaningful comparison.
No wonder it remains the principal ambition of many of Ireland's brightest and best young people to live elsewhere. Ironically, for many, to live in the United Kingdom.
Now this past six months or so we have been caught out by this. Our opponents have suggested that Scotland could be "just like Ireland" without us being free to respond "We don't want to be just like Ireland. Britain is an infinitely superior place to Ireland." But that is precisely what we should have said.
Well it might presage an earthquake in Scottish voting behaviour but, let's be honest, yesterday already was a bit of an earthquake anyway. Perhaps it would be best all round if Labour in future was required to make its case based on actual policy rather than tribal allegiance. We didn't initially pitch for the "catholic vote", we pitched for the vote of working people many of whom happened to be Catholics. And we made the case then that the common interest of working people was far more important than differing religious denominations, or races, or genders, or ......... nationalities. We are not going to get our traditional voters back on the basis of "Some small countries good, other small countries bad; some ethnically based politics good, other ethnically based politics bad; some nationalisms good, other nationalisms bad." So let's not go forward on that basis. Let's instead make the case for unity being strength. In all circumstance.

Quite frankly regardless of your views on Ireland. I having lived in England and in the six counties, do much rather prefer to live in the imperfect R.O.I. with all of it's faults and to experience what freedom really means, than to live on your island.
I think you have identified three really big problems for the Scottish party, but I am not sure I really understand what it is you are suggesting on the third one - because just ignoring the "Catholic problem" doesn't make it go away.
Being Irish and yet a passionate opponent of Scottish independence (enough to make me spend the last week here) and a Celtic supporter and all that I have wrestled with these contradictions internally but am stymied in my understanding by the fact that my impression of the SNP remains that it has always been - and Salmond always comes over to me as a pocket Paisley.
Ken 19 September 2014 at 12:42
So which 'unity is strength' do you propose Scottish Labour should back: the unity of Ireland, or the unity of the North of Ireland with Britain? Or are you suggesting something else?

Challenge for Labour is next year. SNP have been recently irrelevant at Westminster, but Labour are vulnerable to a campaign based upon the additonal powers to be legislated for in the next parliament. "Vote SNP to guarantee Devo Max"
ps. I remember the meeting :-)

The MIP clock is displayed on a 7″ LCD screen purchased on ebay similar to the Wet Compass. I removed it from its frame and built a mounting bracket to install behind the clock bezel. The wet compass used a 3″ screen whereas the clock requires slightly wider, I found the 7″ version was wide enough to encompass the full width of my bezel. I prefer this software version over my first hardware version as both Sim-Avionics and Prosim have a perfectly functioning software clock complete with second hand. I dismantled the hardware clock displays but kept the function buttons as they are all modeled in both avionics package. I can change date and time as well as start the clock using the CHR function on the bezel. I also have the button on the glareshield activated to operate the CHR function. This is used to start the clock when lining up on the runway at the beginning of each flight. You can see in the third picture below the Sim-Avionics clock displayed on a 3″ LCD (the same used for the wet compass) when testing a few years ago. More pix of the new clock soon.
Below is a description of my hardware clock I built after seeing the simple instructions from Manolo at Hispapanels. I ordered Manolo's circuit board along with the 7 segment displays and pushbutton switches and followed his instructions to put it together.
The displays are mounted on 6 levels of IC standoff pins to a level 30mm above the circuit board. This allowed sufficient room to install backlight LED's and switch connections that come off each pushbutton mounted in the 4 corners. The backlight operates on 12v DC and lights up all text perfectly. The pins at the rear of the circuit board connect to the Opencockpits display card to activate the 7 seg displays and can be seen in pic #3. SIOC code talks to FSX to display FS time and changing the time and/or date on the clock updates the sim immediately, very cool!


Daniel Main of Dexter, New York, walked into the ESF Ranger School main building around 11 a.m. Jan. 11 looking for help. A snowmobile and fishing trailer, driven by his father and uncle, had broken through the ice in the "Narrows" of the Oswegathchie River and sank. Debbra Lawrence, trades generalist at the Ranger School, contacted 911 requesting assistance, and Ranger School staff immediately began a search for the two men.
"Although we initially believed they had emerged on the South Shore, Craig Perrault (maintenance supervisor) found them on Ranger School Road, very close to campus," said Dr. Michael Bridgen, Ranger School director. Perrault took them to the Physical Plant to allow them to dry off and get warm. The state police and the rescue squad from Cranberry Lake came to assist. June McWharf, program aide, used the student laundry to dry their clothes. "The two men were eventually released by the rescue squad, declared healthy," said Bridgen.
Perrault went the "extra mile," plowing snow from the Alumni Campground road, allowing access to the Narrows for an extraction team, said Bridgen. "Although the ice fishing equipment came out readily, the snowmobile itself fell to the bottom of the river." The Star Lake rescue squad offered to sponsor a "training program," retrieving the snowmobile with a diver. The squad worked past 10 p.m. that night, and was gone in the morning, Bridgen said.
Bridgen said the incident drew attention to the close ties in the Ranger School community.
"As it turned out, Daniel had previously visited the Ranger School as a prospective student," Bridgen said. "He is first cousin to Brett Huckabone, RS' 09. His father and uncle were friends to Randy Kerr and his grandson Ian Kerr, both Ranger School alumni."

Headstone picture frames in bronze, available in oval or rectangular shape and in various size, including the most widely used 9x12 cm and 11x15 cm. Typically, they are fixed through two pins on the back directly to the surface of the tombstones but there are also different models applicable to the ground, ideal for cemetery monuments or horizontal gravestones.
The photo-frames have standard formats perfectly adaptable to the photos in porcelain which can be produced on demand. The internal size of the frame are corrisponding to those of the photo-ceramics therefore the overall dimensions of the frame are always greater than the dimensions displayed in the catalog. The bronze photo-frames are covered with a special coating that ensures weatherproof especially for the graves planted outdoors.

Heart attacks don't discriminate based on renown. See more heart health pictures.
When it comes to heart disease, it's not who you know -- it's who you came from. Heart disease is hereditary, so if you're dealt a bad card by those further up the family tree, you need to embrace a healthy lifestyle and steer clear of smoking, heavy drinking and poor dietary choices. All the money, fame and influence in the world won't make it OK for you to eat bacon cheeseburgers if there's a history of heart disease in your family.
While celebrities often take a pass on some of life's more unpleasant experiences (cleaning bathrooms, for one), no one has immunity against heart disease and heart attacks.
In this article, we'll talk about five celebrities who had heart attacks. Of the five, some lived, some died, and some saw the light and adopted a heart-healthy lifestyle and attitude.
First up: The music never stopped, only some of the unhealthy people who made it.

Pelosi- "No al Qaeda in Iraq"
Yep, that's a genius for you. All this time we thought we were fighting al Qaeda in Iraq and she finally clears that up for us. Apparently she's also clearing it up for the guys in Iraq that are fighting us who are CALLING themselves al Qaeda. I imagine that the conversation between her and some assbag shooting at our troops over there would go something like this:
"No no no guys, you don't understand, you CAN'T be al Qaeda, because if you were, then Iraq would be part of the War on Terror, and you see, Dimwitocrats have long said that Iraq ISN'T part of the WoT, so you just must be mistaken"
These are the kinds of geniuses that many of those out there pissed off about one whiny bitch thing or another allowed to get elected when they decided to either sit out, or file a protest vote for the guy with a D behind his name instead of R.
Well, the good part about this is that the D-ummies get to display exactly how stupid they really are, and remind us why it is we voted R in the first place. Hopefully the leadership on the R side can take advantage of that, but judging from their recent follies, I doubt it.

File under 'DUH'
A book written by a female psychiatrist notes that women talk three times as much as men do.
I bet they also noted that the sky was blue, grass was green, and water was wet.
Nah, I'm not talking about a football game or basketball game.
Today is my 39th birthday. As such, the average life expectancy of a male in the US is approximately 78, and so, today is the halftime of my life. I've completed half of my expected time on earth now. As such, I've taken the day off today to reflect on the things I've done, the things I've NOT done, and maybe allow myself a bit of self-flagellation and self-congratulation.
Haven't done:
1. Ran a marathon: Always wanted to, almost did a couple years ago, thanks to Dr. Ken, but at the last minute, got tendonitis in my knee and couldn't do it. I may still pull this one off this year. Definitely up there in the 'Need to do' list.
2. Haven't held public office. While I always thought that was something I wanted to do, I'm becoming more and more convinced that I'm entirely too forthcoming with my opinions, no matter how offensive to some PC individuals to actually hold a public office, without causing my family much grief. Still may try, but that's yet to be decided.
3. There's lots of other things I thought in high school or college that I'd do...play center field for the Tigers, (although other than this last year, I probably coulda done better than the guys who DID), center for the Montreal Canadiens, get studio credits on a Bruce Springsteen album for saxophone, since Clarence retired, etc...... Most of these were stereotypical highschool and college foolishness...but still, warrant mentioning here.
Things I've done:
1. Found true love. Yeah, sounds corny, but seriously, I don't know many women that would put up with my shit. My wife has her shortcomings, as with any human beings, but she's incredible and I'm blessed to be with her. I've not exactly been a perfect husband, and she still tolerates me. That's a good thing
2. I've done a half-assed decent job of raising two great kids. They're not perfect, and if they were, I'd be questioning number one here....as far as her faithfulness! My son is a mini-me in looks only. His intelligence and maturity amaze me every day. He's going to be a success, as long as I don't screw him up!
My daughter is a sweet hearted girl who loves everyone. She could make best friends in a matter of seconds. She makes me crazy most of the time, because her personality is so much like mine, but I am amazed by her view of the world and how she sees things through a completely different view. Her ability to see the good in everyone and completely ignore the bad is a great trait that I really hope she never loses, although I hope I can teach her to temper it a bit!
3. Fought in a war and served honorably for 8 years in the Marine Corps. While I don't actually look at this as a major accomplishment, since it didn't seem such a major deal at the time, it's still something that not everyone can say. Facing enemy fire, put into situations that truly tested my mettle, and succeeding tells me all I need to know about myself.
4. I've made some amazing friends along the way. Some I've lost literally, RIP Norm, Dan, and Gerald. Some I've lost figuratively, merely losing track of them. If you're one of those friends, call me...email me...or just let me know you're still out there. I guarantee I've not forgotten you, and I hope you've not forgotten me.
As much as I'd like to put more out here, I'm sure I'm boring the crap out of those of you who don't know me personally. Thanks for listening, and we'll be back to the cynical stuff tomorrow!
at 11/27/2006 12:19:00 PM No comments: Links to this post
I know that the majority of you won't read this until sometime this weekend or perhaps even Monday, but that's ok....I just wanted to put it out there:
Things that I'm thankful for (in no particular order):
1. My blog readers. Even if you weren't there, I'd still be doing this. But you keep me on my toes, and most of you even make me think as well with your comments and emails. Keep it up.
2. My job. Having worked in a job where people had no hope of getting anywhere without massive ass-kissing, it's nice to work somewhere that appreciates the skills I bring to the table and the experience I have. I may not be on the bleeding edge of computer security, but I'm right there in the middle of the fight.
3. My friends. Even though we've not spent nearly as much time together as I would like to, it's good to know that when it gets right down to it, you're still there for me. And when we do get together it's like we hang out all the time. Beautiful thing friendship and I'm glad I have y'all out there.
4. My family. I'm not saying that my family is any different from any other family, but I have some of the weirdest folks you could imagine in my family. And that's what I love about it. Seriously, between my in-laws, my blood relations, and the extended family, I am so thankful for the support, love and friendship that my family provides. In my 38 years on this planet, they've been there for me and I've learned that isn't always the case with families. I'm glad I have one where it is.
5. The greatest country in the world. Sure we've taken our lumps. Sure we've got a bunch of idiot politicians. Sure we have a media that would rather see us lumped in with the socialists in western Europe as just another industrialized country, but we're still the world's superpower, and will always be. It's just the nature of America. All about the freedom baby....
6. Those who are willing to step up and make the sacrifices necessary to keep this country free. Men and women of the Armed forces voluntarily put themselves in harms way in order to ensure the freedoms of this country as well as other countries. The police, fire, and rescue workers who put it on the line on a daily basis to make sure that we're safe and to help us out when we're not. Thanks for putting on the uniform and doing what you do ladies and gentlemen.
Have a good Thanksgiving and God bless.
Reverse Affirmative Action
A group at Boston University, in protest of racially based scholarships and preferences from the school, has finally put their money where their mouths are and established a "Caucasian Achievement and Recognition Scholarship".
In other words a "white kid" scholarship.
Nice...finally nice to see someone do something about the obvious racism that exists out there in the academic community from a financial aid and scholarship standpoint
Semper Fi Green Beret
A Green Beret, who fell in battle sent a posthumus email to his friends basically saying "Guys, thanks for being there for me, love you, party it up in Vegas". He paid for a $100,000 party for his friends in Las Vegas.
Not a bad gig for an Army dog. ;-)
And to combat any sort of stupidity by his friends, relatives, etc, to ensure that they don't decide to get all liberal on him, he included the following paragraph in his letter:
"Don't ever think that you are defending me by slamming the Global War on
Terrorism or the U.S. goals in that war," Jeffrey Toczylowski wrote. "As far
as I am concerned, we can send guys like me to go after them or we can wait
for them to come back to us again. I died doing something I believed in and
have no regrets except that I couldn't do more."
Hoooahh!
Kramer goes nuts!
In case you didn't see it, Michael Richards, the 'actor' that played Kramer on Seinfeld lost his friggin mind this weekend at some comedy club.
Some guys were heckling him and he started throwing the 'N-word' around like it was cool.
My prediction? He'll go to rehab, go on Barbara Walters, and be forgiven, especially if he notes that he's a Democrat. It's way easier to recover from using the N-word as a Dimwitocrat than it is as a Republican (see Robert Byrd v George Allen).
Deer Hunting FTW
Between a general malaise for blogging, chaos at work, and deer hunting, I've been left little time to blog.....
I'll be back, promise. No liberal can chase me away..nor can a bunch of idiot RINOs who thought they knew what was going on.
So, after having a night to think about it (ok, maybe just a few hours to sleep on it), I've come to some conclusions regarding the election.
1. Dimwitocrats did a great job tying everything to President Bush. Everything. Don't like the way your neighbor cuts his lawn? Bush's fault. Don't like the color of your girlfriends hair? Bush's fault. Taxes too high? Bush's fault. Taxes too low? Bush's fault. Because of the constant hammering of the media and Dimwits over his handling of the war and a few other issues, President Bush's popularity was at an all time low over the last year and Dimwits were able to tie local issues into a referendum on the President. Right or wrong, it's a helluva strategy and obviously one that works. Just look back at 1994 when Newt Gingrich led the Republican Revolution and we took the House. He did the exact same thing, running a referendum on Hillary/Bill and their nationalized health care.
2. Empty suits. Yes, that's what the Dimwits/RINO's have elected in many cases. Seriously, in the rush to say 'we don't like Bush', they neglected to notice who in the hell they're voting for. Menendez in NJ is under investigation for possible illegal activity. Bob Casey in PA is running on daddy's name and is utterly worthless. Sherrod Brown in Ohio has just about as much intelligence as his fellow Ohioan Dennis Kucinich, in fact, I've heard him referred to as 'Kucinich-lite'. Stabenow in MI, who has done zero, zip, zilch, nada to help Michigan. Cardin in MD .....don't get me started on that pandering racist pig. All of them, politicians catering to the lowest common denominator, standing for nothing other than being oppositional. "What do you stand for Mr. Cardin?" "I stand against anything that Mr. Steele stands for". Seriously, if you saw any of the debates with Cardin in them, how could anyone with an IQ above 50 vote for that idiot?
3. Conservative values work every time. It doesn't matter whether you've got a D or R or L behind your name, if you run on Conservative values in the majority of districts (Pelosi's, Conyers, et al notwithstanding) will get you a victory. Take a look at some of the Dimwitocrats that won and you'll see that. Heath Schuler in NC is more conservative than a good number of elected (and defeated) Republicans. Ellsworth in IN is way more conservative than folks like Olympia Snowe (R-ME). So, as a conservative, I can still hope that these new congressmen will stand up for what they ran on in this election. Because if they don't, in two years, we'll be back. Just that simple.
4. Silver Lining time. In Michigan the Affirmative Action ban won. The proposal requiring that schools are funded at the rate of inflation, which was backed by the teachers unions was defeated soundly. In fact, if you look nationwide, a good number of conservative proposals won. So, that tends to tell me that this truly was a referendum on President Bush, rather than a repudiation of conservative values.
I guarantee if the Republicans go back to the values that led to the Reagan Revolution, as well as the Contract for America, we'll get it all back in '08.
And if we don't, plan on a long period of me being cranky.
Gonna call it a night.....
Congratulations-
Nancy Pelosi, arguably one of the most liberal speakers of the House in history.
John Conyers, supporter of reparations and impeachment, head of the judiciary committee
Barney Frank, pole-smoker, head of financial regulations
Alcee Hastings, impeached as a federal judge, head of Intelligence committee.
Nice work those of you who didn't vote or voted libertarian or dimwitocrat in 'protest'.
Well congratulations you jackasses
The Dimwitocrats have won a number of seats in the House now, a couple in the Senate, and the Republicans are getting hammered on a regular basis.
Thank you to the people who either didn't vote or voted for the Dimwits in 'protest'. I'm sure the Republicans will get the message.
As will our enemies in Iraq. Good work you assbags, you've just given the morale of the al Qaeda troops a huge boost. Thanks.
The blood of our troops will be on your hands.
Ok, I don't even pretend to understand how exit polling can be extrapolated into completed information, especially when only 1% of the precincts are reporting, but how in the HELL can Foxnews report Steele losing to Cardin?
Crock o' crap.
But I guess what IS interesting is that our polls here in MI have been closed for 24 minutes and they haven't called either the governors race or senate race....maybe that's a good sign.
MD = Voter suppression?
The polls in MD have been closed for more than an hour, and has ONE vote been counted? Probably. Have the results been announced? Nope. So, you have to wonder why that is.
Voter suppression. Steele is kicking ass and MD is run by Dimwitocrats. As such, they're getting all the dead folks around to get their votes in.
No evidence, just a suspicion.
Son of a.....
Well, looks like we've lost a potential pickup in NJ. Not that I expected those liberal boneheads to actually pull their skulls out of their rectum long enough to vote for an R, but it woulda been nice.
And Santorum made just a few too many enemies in PA, along with the complicit media not showing the people of PA what a liberal idiot Casey is. That and the fact that PA is a lot like Michigan, with a bunch of union idiots sitting on their asses waiting for a government handout.
Conservative Dimwitocrats vs RINOs
So, a lot of polls have closed now, and amusingly enough, the Dimwitocrats that are winning are more conservative than a good number of the RINO's that are out there. It'd be interesting to see them actually step up and vote their supposed beliefs rather than following the 'party line' and electing such major liberals like Pelosi to their speaker, if they take the majority.
I don't know about the rest of the state, but here in Kalamazoo, turnout is amazingly high. In the 1st Precinct of Texas Township (where I vote) there are about 1400 people registered to vote. When I turned in my ballot at 6pm, there had been 700 voters so far, and there was about 40 waiting in line to vote.
I hope that's a good sign for my pal Bouchard, who could use a good turnout after his website was attacked by a DDoS.
Not that it was a surprise, but Dick Lugar (R)-IN wins in Indiana. Bernie Sanders, the only socialist in the House was also elected by the folks in Vermont. Too much maple syrup up there or what guys?
On another note, Mike Bouchard's web site was attacked today, subjected to a DDoS attack. Two IP's where it looks like it's coming from are 66.82.9.55 & 66.82.9.56 but those could just be zombies.
Figures, when Dimwits can't win on ideas, they attack by any means necessary.
Well, since the day is almost over, I'll go ahead and post some predictions and we'll see how it comes out tomorrow:
1. Corker(R) over Ford in TN.
2. Steele(R) over Cardin in MD
3. Allen(R) over Webb in VA
4. Talent(R) over McCaskill in MO
5. Tester over Burns(R) in MT
6. Chafee (RINO) over Whitehouse in RI
Not going to make predictions about the Michigan races until the polls close. I've yet to vote, but I'll put my vote on display here, and let the bitchslapping begin:
1. Devos for Governor (duh). He's not the best candidate, but he's the best one with the shot to win
2. Bouchard for Senate. Best candidate. Period. No discussion. Stabenow has produced diddly shit for the state of Michigan and should be put out to pasture. Considering the amount of weight she's gained since being elected to the Senate, pasture is the appropriate term as well.
3. Terri Lynn Land for SoS. Hell, I don't even know who she's running against, but anyone who can turn the Secretary of State into the semi-high tech, smooth running bureau it's become, deserves my vote.
4. Mike Cox for Atty Gen. I like what he's done with hunting down deadbeat dads, telemarketing scammers, and id theives. I just wish he'd chill on going after the retailers. The law that MI has requiring them to price every item in the store is antiquated and needs to be removed.
5. Jack Hoogendyke for state House. Jack's the man. Plus he called me personally and wanted to make sure I voted for him. How can I say no?
6. Tom George for state senate. Tom is a good man, and no way the scum that he's been portrayed as by the Lipsey campaign and that pole-smoker John Stryker. Bet your grandpa's proud of the way you're spending his billions John.
Prop 1- Voting yes. Keeping the money that is designated for the parks by the users of the parks is not only fair, but fiscally responsible. When I pay $10 for a park pass, I don't want that money lining the pockets of some Granholm flunky in Wayne county.
Prop 2- Voting yes. Affirmative action is unfair, unconstitutional, and generally just not right. No way should governments be spending my tax dollars on programs that don't benefit the entire population, rather than a select group.
Prop 3- Hell yeah, shoot them damn doves.
Prop 4- Yes- This is the spin off of the Kelo case for MI. Requires that the state pay 125% of the 'market' value of your home, and makes it illegal for them to take it and transfer it to private ownership. Considering the average 'market' value that the state gives is less than real market value, I'm good with that.
Prop 5 - NO. We've been funding schools quite well, despite the whining you hear from the left and the teachers unions. This money will go nowhere but to teachers unions, pensions, and jack up your taxes, because we'll be constitutionally required to fund schools at a certain level, no matter what the other economic conditions in the state are. BS. In hard times, everyone must sacrifice, including schools.
Anyway, that's it for now. Remember, vote early and often......
A little vote fraud humor there folks....another prediction, we'll hear a lot of that phrase over the next few days, especially if the elections don't turn out the way the media is predicting.
Apparently Faith Hill was not amused by the fact that her fellow country singer, Carrie Underwood beat her for best female something or another at the CMA's last night.
Today's the day
Vote. It'll take 30 minutes of your life. Just get it done and go on with your day.
Friday is Veterans Day. November 11. My main point of contention with Google, although there are many, is that they create these stupid logos for everything from Martin Luther King's birthday, to the anniversary of the first airplane flight, to DaVinci's birthday. But for Veterans day, the last two years (at least) there's been nothing.
I would like to put together a massive online campaign to pressure Google to create some sort of logo to honor our men and women who have served this country properly and have worn the uniform of the armed forces, Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and National Guard. All of them.
J^2 has suggested a massive Google Group to try to pressure them, share suggestions for logos and communicate between ourselves. Anyone else with a better idea, bring it, but I kind of like the irony of using their own tools to give them grief. When I get it all created, I'll post it here, but if you want further info, drop me an email at webproze AT yahoo dot com. No link, stupid spambots are getting smart enough as it is.
Borat - three stars
Friday I went to Borat. At lunch. For $5. A couple of guys from work decided that we usually take a little over an hour for lunch, so heck, it was Friday, why not take two.
So we did, and we took in Borat.
Honestly, I expected that it'd be the kind of movie I could not get too excited about. I wasn't planning on going to see it and would put it on my Netflix queue. But I was glad I went to see it.
It was definitely funny, although many 'uncomfortable' humor moments were experienced. I'm generally not a fan of 'uncomfortable humor', but in this case, it worked. The type of humor that makes people kind of squirm in their seats and look around to see if others are laughing. Borat pulled it off, and while many people would look at it as a movie critical of the US, I looked at it like I look at most other forms of entertainment. Just that. Entertainment. Sasha Baron Cohen kept me wondering how in the HELL he stays in character when faced with such odd circumstances, as well as how much of it was staged and how much was really as uncomfortable as it looked.
Anyway, if you get a chance, take a look at it, it's not a bad flick at all, and for $5, you could do worse....like 'Running with Scissors'. When the previews for a movie suck as bad as these ones do, you know it's going to be bad. They're supposed to pick out the BEST scenes for the previews. Yikes.
Project Valour IT
Project Valour IT is a charity that purchases laptops with microphones and speakers for our injured troops. The voice controlled software would help the injured troops still write letters/emails to family as well as read email and surf the web while recuperating.
Every cent raised for Project Valour-IT goes directly to the purchase and shipment of voice-activated laptops for wounded servicemembers. As of October 2006, Valour-IT has distributed nearly 600 laptops to severely wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines across the country.
During its initial phase, Valour-IT created "libraries" of laptops equipped with voice-controlled software for the severely wounded staying at major military medical centers. In many cases a laptop was provided to a wounded hero for permanent use.
This is an amazingly good cause, so please donate. I am working on a way to track the donations made specifically from my site, because my plan is to match every donation made.
That's right. You donate $50, I donate $50. You donate $25, I donate $25. Since my readers are some of the best people out there, I have no doubt that I will end up cutting a pretty big check, but I'm ok with that. Good cause, good thing.
For now, if you send me your receipt, I'll note it and on Dec 1, I'll cut a check to match the donations I've received up until then. Hopefully there will be a better, automated way of checking, but until then, let's do it this way.
Howeird Dean rides again
In an interview with the Montpelier Times Argus, Howeird Dean claimed that George Bush is the most incompetent president in our lifetime.
Now since Howeird is way older than me, I can't speak to folks prior to Lyndon Johnson, who was amazingly incompetent in the way he led the country into Vietnam and declared a war on the poor. No, not war on poverty, but war on the poor, let's face facts. Since the 'war on poverty' that Johnson declared, our welfare roles have grown exponentially, only reduced in the last 10 years thanks to welfare reform. The destruction that happened in the black community may never be properly measured, but it's there. Look around.
Then there's James Carter. Iran, double digit inflation, double digit interest rates, double digit unemployment. Which part of most incompetent are you missing here? Should I throw in pandering to Fidel, Arafat, Noriega, the Sandinistas, and many others? Yeah, I think that Jimmuh DEFINITELY is in the top two of most incompetent presidents ever.
Not that I think there's another, just that he was so overwhelmingly incompetent that he deserves the top two spots....that's all.
I'm sure Howeird thought long and hard about that answer (about three seconds before saw something shiny...a microphone).

The New England Revolution and the Philadelphia Union meet in MLS action from Gillette Stadium on Thursday night.
The New England Revolution come into this one looking to build off of a decent showing in the MLS is Back tournament, opening the tournament with a 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact before draws with DC United and Toronto FC sat the Revs at 5 points with a 1-2-0 record, tied with TFC for tops in Goup C but finishing in 2nd in the group on a tiebreaker. The Revolution earned their spot in the knockout rounds but the stay was brief as the Union bounced New England in the round of 16 by a score of 1-0. Adam Buksa leads the Revolution with two goals while Gustavo Bou and Teal Bunbury each have a goal for the Revs as well. Matt Turner is New England's top goalkeeper, conceding 0.75 goals per 90 minutes with two clean sheets in four appearances this season.
The Philadelphia Union on the other hand, had a pretty good MLS is Back tournament, finishing tied with tournament runner-up and host Orlando City at 2-1-0 in group play. The Union beat NYCFC and Inter Miami in the first two group stage games before drawing with Orlando on the final group match day to finish tied at the top, but losing out on the winning position of the group due to a tiebreaker with Orlando City. Philly took care of the Revolution in the round of 16 and picked up a 3-1 win over Sporting Kansas City in the quarter-finals before losing to eventual champion Portland in the semi-finals. Seven different Union players have a goal this season and three of those seven have an assist as well. Andre Blake is Philadelphia's top goalkeeper, conceding 1.4 goals per 90 minutes with one clean sheet in five league appearances this season.
Am I missing something here? The Union won the last meeting against New England, and have gone unbeaten in the last five head-to-head against New England with four wins and have lost just once to Philadelphia since 2015. Philadelphia's owned New England in this fixture, and I see no reason to go astray from the trends here. Give me the Union and the huge plus money on the ML.

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Basware, the leading provider of purchase-to-pay solutions, has announced a new best-of-breed e-invoicing service for small and medium sized businesses. Basware InvoiceReady provides immediate benefits for businesses seeking to control and simplify unruly and resource heavy invoice and expense processing. Delivered as a service, InvoiceReady automates the accounts payable processes from receipt of invoice, through approvals until payment, avoiding errors, reducing lengthy approvals processes and eliminating wasted hours spent on repetitive tasks.
InvoiceReady incorporates Basware's 25 years of renowned invoice automation expertise into one workflow solution, giving small and medium sized companies the tools to implement best practice processes within their finance departments. The service provides fully auditable paperless trails, both before and after payment, giving detailed visibility of spend commitments as well as ensuring compliance with local and international finance regulations.
Research among global accounts payable staff earlier this year found invoice scanning and data entry considered to be the most time consuming and error prone elements of invoice processing, and 60 percent of finance professionals think automation is a reliable method for removing payment and accounting errors from the business1. Basware InvoiceReady provides immediate processing benefits for finance and management professionals from day one of service implementation, including invoice scanning services, data migration, real-time workflow tracking, travel and expense management and a fully auditable archiving service, all available on a per transaction price.
"Small and medium-sized companies are struggling with manual, paper-driven processes and are realizing that automation can alleviate most of the challenges they face in their day-to-day operations. Our research indicates that over 60% of these companies feel their accounts payable function has inefficiencies caused by paper invoices. Even worse 55% are making late payments and missing discounts because of decentralized processing and a lack of automation. The opportunity for any business with paper invoices is enormous," commented Henry Ijams, Managing Director, PayStream Advisors.

Q: TextView.setText not working inside for loop public void bytesToHex(byte[] in) {

                resendData = false; //reset resendData flag
            }
        } //wait for next w from mcu

        builder.append(String.format("%02x", b));

        if(builder.length()== BATCHSIZE ){
            sendByte= builder.toString();

            sendSerial(sendByte);
            newData = false;

            Log.d("byteToHex", "newData = false");

            builder.setLength(0); //reset the string builder
        }

    } //for(byte b : in)

    //send remaining bytes
    sendByte= builder.toString();
    sendSerial(sendByte);
    newData = false;
    Log.d("byteToHex", "newData = false");
    count+=builder.length();
    Log.d("byteToHex", "Sent " + count/2 + " byte");
    textViewFileProgress.setText(count/2 + "/" + fileLength);//<- THIS SETTEXT WORKS
    builder.setLength(0); //reset the string builder

    sentTerminator = true; //flag to tell BLE service to check if terminator is received on mcu
    sendSerial("||"); //terminating command, tell teensy last hex has been sent
    while(sentTerminator == true){ //while terminator not yet received

            sendSerial("||");
            Log.d("byteToHex", "resending terminator");
            resendTerminator = false; //Resend complete. reset resendTerminator flag.
        }
    }
    sendingData = false;
    //return builder.toString();
}//public void bytesToHex(byte[] in)

I am trying to set the text to my textview to display the current number of bytes sent.
Somehow, i have 2 of the exact same setText code in my function. textViewFileProgress.setText(count/2 + "/" + fileLength);
one of them is inside a for loop, which does not work.
the other is outside the for loop, which works.
I am sure the program ran that code, as I am able to see the debug messages before it in Android monitor.
Any idea what is the problem?

A: Try this .
Log.e("TAG",builder.length()+"");
if(builder.length()== BATCHSIZE ){
        sendByte= builder.toString();

        sendSerial(sendByte);
        newData = false;
        Log.d("byteToHex", "newData = false");

        count+=BATCHSIZE;
        Log.d("byteToHex", "Sent " + count/2 + " bytes");
        textViewFileProgress.setText(count/2 + "/" + fileLength); //<- THIS SETTEXT DOES NOT WORK
        builder.setLength(0); //reset the string builder
} else {
        Log.e("TAG","length != 20");
}

And you can see the Logcatinfo

A: Consider this simple code. You implement your for loop in another background thread then set the text in main thread using onPostExecute()
Note that onPostExecute() run in the main thread while doInBackground() run in the background thread so you cannot set the text in doInBackground()
public void outSideFunction()
{
  //pass a string to doInBackground()
  new TextSetterTask.execute("");

}
//implement an inner class
private class TextSetterTask extends AsyncTask<String,Void,String>
{
   @Override
   protected String doInBackground(String... params)
   {
     //loop
      return //the string you want to set the text
     //if the background thread is done it will call the onPostExecute
   }
   @Override
   protected void onPostExecute(String result)
   {
     //set the text
   }

}
