Wealth Creation and Other Economic Forces Reversing To Mean

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:28:05 PDT
The next Democratic government will receive a contracting economy and there may be little they can do to reverse historical trends. Like Carter's administration, the next administration will pay for the excesses of the previous Republican administration and be blame for them.

Health Care Lottery, Shirley Jackson Style

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:01:42 PDT
The old idea of insurance was to spread costs by having the relatively healthy subsidize the sick. But many insurers and pharmacy benefit managers are challenging that ideal: Instead of paying a modest $10 to $30 co-payment, as is usually the case for cheaper drugs, patients who need especially costly medicines are being forced to pay 20 percent to 33 percent of the bill (up to an annual maximum) for drugs that can cost tens of thousands of dollars, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, a

When I Say Madam ...

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:50:36 PDT
You say President! Madam! President! Madam! President! These were the words that got to me among a small crowd of thousands at the intersection a half block from our favorite farmer's market. I've taken longer than I thought to write about this because I'm still absorbing it, still mulling over it and what I heard hours later, long after Hillary Clinton departed for her next Pennsylvania destination. She was compassionate. And stunning. And full of life and passion. When she entered the

Running IE6, IE7 and IE8 VirtualPC (VPC) images on Mac OS X

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:54:18 PDT
I run a Mac, which means testing my work in IE6, IE7 and IE8 becomes difficult. I have Parallels installed but I don’t want to buy extra copies of Windows just to test IE. Plus, Parallels doesn’t optimize space well, so each copy takes about 10 - 20GB of space. The good news is that Microsoft has provided free VirtualPC disk images for each of their browsers: http://www.microsoft.com/downl… The bad news is that these wont run on Mac, but I’ve found a solution! We can convert them to work in

Some Say Safari, Some Say Neutrals

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:13:33 PDT
The trend forecast for Spring 2008 called for an array of styles. From 70s-inspired waistlines to an earthy scheme consisting of florals and safari-like sets, the trends of Spring 2008 are truly vast. Safari Chic has traded in its overly starched looking ways for more flowy, stretchy fabrics, while staying true to it's neutral core. O So Chic !

Specter Diagnosed With Cancer Recurrence

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:50:11 PDT
In a breaking news story we wish we didn’t have to discuss, Senator Specter (R-PA) has been diagnosed with an “early recurrence of Hodgkin’s disease, which is a cancer of the lymph system,” the Associated Press reports. Senator Specter took on treatment for the same form of cancer in 2005 and has recently released a book detailing his battle.

Keyes books Mancow

Keyes books Mancow Posted by Trent Hill --- April 20th, 2008 In addition to the 22 other talk-radio interviews Keyes is scheduled for over the next week,he has recently booked a time-slot on the Mancow Show,based out of Chicago. Mancow’s show is one of the highest-rated radio talk-shows in the nation and is especially popular with the 18-34 demographic. Im not supporting Keyes, but booking him on talk-radio is about as easy as selling ice-water in Death Valley. Of course,selling him to Pa

Canadian socialist IRONY DU JOUR: CBC calls Zimbabwe’s media “state-run”

Canadian socialist IRONY DU JOUR: CBC calls Zimbabwe’s media “state-run” This morning, the state-run, state-owned CBC Newsworld state-media employed news anchor, Suhana Meharchand, referred to Zimbabwe’s “state-run news media” and how they are accusing the political opposition of treason. Canada’s state-owned, state-run CBC never refers to itself that way! Now. Countdown to liberals and sundry leftist and downright Marxist CBC apologists emailing me those seething reprimands insisting

Booze and Bet - TouchTable RealRoulette is a new trend

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 23:36:36 PDT
We knew those live tabletop computer interfaces like Microsoft surface and the Linux-based MPX multi-touch table were going to change the way we looked at computers but to be honest even I never imagined that the technology would be adapted for gambling and casino purposes before it hit museums. The TouchTable Roulette takes the know-how of the int

The End of an Era, The Stinehour Press is Closing!

I find this post very disturbing to write and a sad reflection on our current economic situation here in the US, as well as an unfortunate look at the trend in book publishing to find the cheapest and “good enough” printing press for the production of Fine Art Books. Where are most “fine art” books printed now?…China! That is not to say that

Windows Milestone 1 Release 2 (Part 1)

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:07:06 PDT
Can’t believe it? Yes, again, news about Windows 7. It’s has been 2 months since my last post about Windows 7 Milestone 1. It was interesting and funny to watch how skeptics around the world reacted to my news. Many people denied and tried hard to prove what I posted was not true. Well, skeptics here is very reasonable but the evidences they used were merely those not-yet-updated ‘Vista’ in version windows or dialogues, and, many F words. That’s not reasonable, nether works. How desperately I

The good news? Andruw Jones went long

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:18:07 PDT
The bad news? All the other Blue bats went cold, and since Jones' jack wasn't actually a five run homer, it left the Dodgers on the short end of a 4-1 loss to Atlanta. The recently recalled from the minors Chuck James held the Dodger 1-9 in check yesterday afternoon, offering up just four hits over five innings. For his part, Chad Billingsley was killing Brave batters to the tune of nine strikeouts until a nasty fifth inning where everything done went haywire. Three walks, four runs, what fe

Cons: RCMP Raid Was a 'Publicity Stunt'

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:10:43 PDT
Pass the tissues. Oh how I weep for those poor victims of the RCMP raid of the Cons' headquarters. Not. The tories are scrambling to paint themselves as being oppressed after yesterday's raid (which continues today). The problem is that they appointed the two Elections Canada officials they're now suing and that they applaud the RCMP (even protecting Zaccardelli to the bitter end) except when they're the targets of a legally-sanctioned warrant. And now, they're also trying to implicate the Li

This weekend’s Life 3.0 column: These days, it seems harder to avoid “green” products than it is to find them. Everything from construction material to accessories (a biodegradable umbrella) and from automobiles to pet products makes being an eco-friendly consumer almost as easy as finding a Dunkin Donuts in the Capital Region. Earth Day has been around for nearly 40 years — since 1970 — but the real environmental push has seemed to surge in recent years. The Toyota Prius hit the U.S. in 200
