Second attempt. I'm at about 26 hours.The cravings have not been so bad. I was very tempted to go buy a pack immediately after lunch, but waited ten minutes, had some fruit and water and tried to think about something else. Sure enough, the cravings went down. I began smoking back in 1993. The longest I've gone...

I really want to quit smoking.I've smoked off and on for 14 years. I really need to quit while I still have my health. I've tried and failed at quitting cold turkey and using nicotine replacement therapies. If anyone who has successfully quit has any helpful advice please feel free to respond.

Where does this nasty little phrase "You own yourself" come from? Can one rent oneself out or sell oneself? No, you can sell your time or talent or even rent your body out, but not your self. You can be chained to a wall, but your self is still free to think or dream or whatever. How can yourself own itself? That's like a tree "owning" it self. The tree just is and you just are. Trying to impose a 19th century economic view on yourself (you as your own property, as if you owned an old obstinate mule) is simply an avoidance of the fact that you are free to make your own choices.
To choose to be a libertarian is an attempt to avoid the inevitable feedback and judgement of others. It is safe, you do not have to take any responsibility for the society you live in, you can deflect all criticism by saying that you have opted out of the system. It is a defensive position, you have sacrificed your freedom to choose, for a political closet. You have no responsibilities because you have chosen to avoid them.
The next time your at Wendys, just take whatever they give you, tell them you have abdicated your right to choose between cheese or no cheese. Or, maybe a libertarian should just order something not on the menu.
^The point is that libertarianism is a bogus philosophy and politically unworkable. Who wants to live in a country with no social safety net, affordable unregulated drugs, unaffordable medicine, few basic safety considerations, and a population armed to the teeth?
Therefore, one is voting for nothing and allowing the party in power do as it wishes.
http://www.suite101.com/lesson.cfm/17330/633/4The only possible way to promote freedom is to promote natural rights. For to be free - that is, to own oneself, implies that one is free to act (control over oneself), and is free to own (owning being one type of action). The freedom to own resources is useless without the capacity to use them, and likewise the capacity to use resources is useless without the freedom to own them. Thus economical freedom and social freedom are two sides of the same coin.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/libertarianism/Libertarianism holds that agents initially fully own themselves and have moral powers to acquire property rights in external things under certain conditions. It is normally advocated as a theory of justice in the sense of the duties that we owe each other. So understood, it is silent about any impersonal duties (i.e., duties owed to no one) that we may have.
Libertarianism can be understood as a basic principle or as a derivative one. For example, one might defend libertarianism on the basis of rule utilitarianism or rule contractarianism (see, e.g., Narveson 1988 ). Here, however, we shall focus on libertarianism as a natural rights doctrine.
Libertarianism is often thought of as "right-wing" doctrine. This, however, is mistaken for at least two reasons. First, on social—rather than economic—issues, libertarianism tends to be "left-wing". It opposes laws that restrict consensual and private sexual relationships between adults (e.g., gay sex, non-marital sex, and deviant sex), laws that restrict drug use, laws that impose religious views or practices on individuals, and compulsory military service. Second, in addition to the better-known version of libertarianism—right-libertarianism—there is also a version known as "left-libertarianism". Both endorse full self-ownership, but they differ with respect to the powers agents have to appropriate unappropriated natural resources (land, air, water, etc.). Right-libertarianism holds that typically such resources may be appropriated by the first person who discovers them, mixes her labor with them, or merely claims them—without the consent of others, and with little or no payment to them. Left-libertarianism, by contrast, holds that unappropriated natural resources belong to everyone in some egalitarian manner. It can, for example, require those who claim rights over natural resources to make a payment to others for the value of those rights. This can provide the basis for a kind of egalitarian redistribution.
Libertarianism holds that agents are, at least initially, full self-owners. Agents are (moral) full self-owners just in case they morally own themselves in just the same way that they can morally fully own inanimate objects. Full ownership of an entity consists of a full set of the following ownership rights: (1) control rights over the use of the entity: both a liberty-right to use it and a claim-right that others not use it, (2) rights to compensation if someone uses the entity without one's permission, (3) enforcement rights (of prior restraint if someone is about to violate these rights), (4) rights to transfer these rights to others (by sale, rental, gift, or loan), and (5) immunities to the non-consensual loss of these rights. Full ownership is simply a logically strongest set of ownership rights over a thing.[1] There is some indeterminacy in this notion (since there can be more than one strongest set of such rights), but there is a determinate core set of rights (see below).
At the core of full self-ownership, then, is full control self-ownership, the full right to control the use of one's person. Something like control self-ownership is arguably needed to recognize the fact there are some things (e.g., various forms of physical contact) that may not be done to a person without her consent, but which may be done with that consent.
Full-self ownership is sometimes thought to guarantee that the agent has a certain basic liberty of action, but this is not so. For if the rest of the world (natural resources and artifacts) is fully ("maximally") owned by others, one is not permitted to do anything without their consent—since that would involve the use of their property. The protection that self-ownership affords is a basic protection against others doing certain things to one, but not a guarantee of liberty. Even this protection, however, may be merely formal. A plausible thesis of self-ownership must allow that some rights (e.g., against imprisonment) may be lost if one violates the rights of others. Hence, if the rest of world is owned by others, then anything one does without their consent violates their property rights, and, as a result of such violations, one may lose some or all of one's rights of self-ownership. This point shows that, because agents must use natural resources (occupy space, breathe air, etc.), self-ownership on its own has no substantive implications. It is only when combined with assumptions about how the rest of the world is owned (and the consequences of violating those property rights) that substantive implications follow.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-ownershipSelf-ownership (or individual sovereignty) is the condition where an individual has the exclusive moral right to control his or her own body and life. The writers William Rees-Mogg and James Dale Davidson described this condition as being a sovereign individual, in which individuals have supreme authority and sovereignty over their own choices, without the interference of governing powers. This notion is central to individualistic political philosophies such as abolitionism, ethical egoism, anarchism, classical liberalism and libertarianism. Those who support the product of labor as private property often premise their position on self-ownership, reasoning that if an individual owns himself then he personally owns his labor and the resulting products. Sovereign individuals hold to the premise that government only has authority and power which is given to it by the individual, with decentralized administrative organizations acting as servants to the individual and never their master.
The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is sometimes viewed as an implementation of the concept of self-ownership, as are some portions of the Bill of Rights.
Self-ownership could be viewed as a decentralized bottom-up philosophy, as opposed to totalitarianism being a centralized top-down system. Henry David Thoreau regarded self-ownership as a key component in achieving utopia, while Robert Nozick, an influential political philosopher, based his theory of property-ownership on the premise of self-ownership.
It has been argued by Hans-Hermann Hoppe that self-ownership is axiomatic. His reasoning is that a person contradicts himself when he argues against self-ownership because an individual must presuppose ownership of himself when he attempts to refute the position.
Doesn't seem to stop you, now does it?Originally Posted by imanNot from the likes of you.It is safe,...How do you support that?...you do not have to take any responsibility for the society you live in,The system seems to be rejecting it as opposed to us having to opt out of it. The philosophy remains valid and is quite entrenched into American history. Argue against it all you wish, just try and put up an actual argument for once as opposed to wailing against it because it condemns your absolutist, authoritarian partisan false dichotomy....you can deflect all criticism by saying that you have opted out of the system.The freedom to think outside of the box and to choose to support philosophies and idealogies outside of the false paradigm that you are intending to shame others back inside seems to ask who is on the wrong side of the closet door. I'm thinking it is you that wish to restrain thought with your political 'absolute moralism'.It is a defensive position, you have sacrificed your freedom to choose, for a political closet.There are no direct responsibilities because they fall on those that refuse to join the rest that prefer to change the entrenched flawed two-party paradigm.You have no responsibilities because you have chosen to avoid them.
The sad, pathetic thing is how "wrong and ignorant" your condemnation of libertarianism really is. Rights are not abdicated through self-ownership and natural law, they begin with them.The next time your at Wendys, just take whatever they give you, tell them you have abdicated your right to choose between cheese or no cheese. Or, maybe a libertarian should just order something not on the menu.
^There is no such thing as "self ownership" there is no "natural law" that governs humans and Ayn Rand should have been buried in a lead coffin with a stake through her heart.
No, she should have been chopped up, battered and served as chicken nuggets to self deceiving Wendys customers.
i think it should only be up to the person who is gay. if someone outed me without my will id be devastated! being gay shouldnt be so much of an issue! it doesnt stop the person doing there job well! so why should they have to make it clear to everyone there gay and face homophobic people!
There is nothing irrational about hate, one chooses to hate, and there are things worth hating (I mean besides cheese on your burger).
"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

One can choose to do things that are irrational, so your point isn't proven by your follow-up. That's not the first time you've done that---you make an assertion and then make another as if that backs up anything. As for tastes, which is similar to aesthetics, there is the "eye of the beholder" argument so that is why some won't eat cheese or any other food. Also, there are those that don't eat dairy at all for good reason.There is nothing irrational about hate, one chooses to hate, and there are things worth hating (I mean besides cheese on your burger).
I've noticed you've given up on your original assertions, btw. Now, as typical, you just spot random ass things as if you are going to "get" me on something. You've not succeeded with that tactic yet... I suppose WC Fields' suggestion didn't stick, hm? What about what Einstein said about insanity?
The other choice is that someone else owns you. The U.S. of A. had a bit of a war over that issue, you know -- apparently your way of thinking comes from before, because you, as a Democrat, believe someone besides you own you, someone besides me owns me.
"Self ownership" is another way of saying "personal sovereignty", which is another way of saying "I'm in charge of myself", which is another way of saying "I'm responsible for myself" -- and that's a good place to stop, because it leads right into the reason that the Democrats are the enemy: the Democrat party does not believe a person is responsible for himself, or capable of being so; he is the product of his environment, so things aren't his fault, and he can't take care of himself, so we need tons of regulations.
What you're advocating is an abandonment of choice to a source of authority outside one's self. I call that tyranny, a fellow libertarian calls it authoritarian, but either way, it's part and parcel of "Democrat" as well as of "Republican" in this suffering country.
I'm not in the market for dirty diapers, and I'm not in the market for kneeling down to some inconsistent authoritarian ideology that says it owns me, or at least a piece of me -- it can't have a piece of me (I got none to spare, thank you).Originally Posted by Kulindahr
what libertarians are ordering is common sense and freedom -- but it isn't on YOUR menu.

Good morning, Netizens…
NEAR SPOKANE — Spokane County Sheriff's Dive Team members rescued a 60-year-old Spokane woman after she drove her sport utility vehicle off Hangman Valley Road and into Latah Creek.
Former Spokane KXLY-TV anchor Debra Gilbert Wilde was driving southbound when her 2002 Jeep Cherokee left the road and went over a guardrail. She then went down a 20-foot embankment, and then another 60 yards into the creek's rushing waters.
A passerby heard her calling for help about 1:15 p.m. Sunday and alerted the sheriff's office. Deputy Greg Lance arrived and saw the Jeep about 25 feet from shore with water up the bottoms of its windows. It appeared the SUV had drifted downstream about 100 feet from where it entered the creek.
Latah Creek is currently swollen with recent rainwater and snow melt, and is running significantly higher than it does at other times of the year. Firefighters reached the Jeep with a line and had Wilde tie if off so the vehicle would not float farther downstream before the water rescue team arrived.
Wilde was removed from the Jeep and to safety about 2:30 p.m. She was taken by ambulance to a downtown hospital.
It did not appear she suffered any injuries in the crash, but she was hypothermic from exposure to the frigid water.
At the hospital, Deputy Lance conducted a follow-up investigation and arrested Wilde for Driving While under the Influence of Alcohol.
Portions from KREM-TV
Hallelujah! No taser or gun was fired!
I am pleasantly surprised that, in a struggle with a combatant citizen, the Spokane police officers were able to subdue him without firing their guns or using their tasers - and in this case, it would probably have been justified. Read about it at KREM. My philosophy regarding police action has always been that their training should (and does) involve resolving conflicts through a process that avoids at all possible the use of deadly force. And I consider tasers to be deadly force. In this case, the officers faced continuous attacks from the resident.
Good morning, Netizens…
Thank God it's Friday!
I have studiously avoided mentioning anything related to the ailment that Suzie and I have known about for nearly a month, simply because Suzie did not want to make a "big thing" out of it, and seriously wanted to avoid any public notice. Unlike your truly, she is extremely reticent about sharing the details of her personal life, and until she finally began sharing bits and pieces of her malady, I was content to always let her have her way, and I remained closed-mouth about her cancer and the diagnoses we have received, other than a few friends who I swore to silence upon a number of dire threats.
However, once she let the cat out of the bag, telling a few friends about what was going on, and when one of them immediately blabbed all she knew to the rest of the free world, I no longer felt I had to sit on my hands, hence this morning's entry.
For you see, Suzie has uterine cancer. As opposed to the initial diagnosis, which scared the bejesus out of us both, we now know that on a scoring scale of one-to-ten, ten being the highest severity, she has scored a one, and according to her oncologist, thus is an excellent candidate for robotic surgery. If all goes according to the plan, she will actually be in the hospital for a day while they perform the actual surgery robotically, with an in-home recuperation period of as much as a month. According to the oncologist, if everything works as planned, she has an excellent chance of total recuperation.
Both of us have extensively researched not only the kind of cancer she has on the Internet, and all the possible treatment methods that modern medical science can give us, but even the type of non-invasive removal of her uterus and all the other female plumbing that procedure may include. We are both quite confident that everything will work out, and that everything that can be done has already been done or will be done within the next few weeks.
However, this ordeal has been frightening, to say the very least. I have lost track of the number of hours we have spent sleepless, tossing and turning as we contemplated unraveling our lives together, and of all the ugly possibilities that could take place. I will keep everyone updated as we approach the closure of this arduous affair.
Good morning, Netizens…
I have referred to my wife as "my strong right arm", which could be construed as a play on words since I happen to be left-handed, the latter of which I will concede is a demographic anomaly in its own right. It stands to reason that this balance of nature works for me since, as a former wild child of the 60's and 70's, I would be lying if I suggested for a moment I never sowed any wild oats in my past. However after nearly 20 years of living together in relative marital bliss, it also stands to reason that I would begin to reflect upon the state of our matrimony.
I did not begin this retrospect lightly, either. The Pew Research Center http://pewsocialtrends.org/2010/11/18/the-decline-of-marriage-and-rise-of-new-families/ actually did most of the hard journalistic foot work for me, in their far-reaching study of the decline of marriage as an American institution. While some of the Pew findings surprised me somewhat, some of them were nearly predictable, given the various ways our society has changed over the last few decades. It stands to reason that people are not getting married as often as they were twenty years ago, and those that do fall within a number of social and economic parameters that increasingly are part of the new face of society as we know and accept it to be in America today.
According to Pew, people who have better-than-average incomes stand a better chance than everyone else to have a sustained marital community, as do people with college educations. Pew also states that "In 1960, two-thirds (68%) of all twenty-somethings were married. In 2008, just 26% were." They raise the question, as do I, how many of today's youth will eventually formally tie the knot, as they seem much more inclined than their elders to view cohabitation and various other forms of family, including gay and lesbian relationships, in a much more positive light.
I have always had a nearly morbid curiosity, perhaps even a suspicion about other people's marriages. Given the statistics from Pew, I have always had a hunch about how faithful and monogamous apparently-happily married couples really are. Pew suggests, and I once again concur, that the number of truly monogamous couples has been steadily dropping in the last decade. I cannot help but remember a well-respected member of the community, a Mormon with a good professional career and a picture-perfect family according to everyone who knows him, who was accused by his spouse of infidelity. I am somewhat surprised that their marriage still survives.
That is not to suggest for a moment that our marriage has not been tested in the fires of turmoil. Despite the fact my wife is very reticent about my discussing details of our private lives together, perhaps as well she should, we have had a number of personal tribulations that would perhaps try others. We conceived a daughter late in life, which we lost with terrible sadness and grief. We have endured financial hardship just when we thought we were safe. I lost several close personal friends, one to murder, several others to cancer, and in each case, we drew closer to one another rather than apart.
We have close personal friends who are not married, at least in the conventional sense our more-austere predecessors would have accepted. The thread of divorce runs as rampant through the lives of our friends as in our combined pasts, and yet we believe in the institution of marriage itself.
In the coming days and weeks, I will be exploring more about the bond (some refer to it as a jail sentence) of marriage. Feel free to share any insights you may have into marriage or other form of family-building.
Good morning, Netizens…
The Dinner Bell Restaurant in Loon Lake, one of my favorite eateries has apparently burned to the ground this morning. Early information from the scene is that they suffered a grease fire, which got out of control.
Good morning, Netizens…
Perhaps I am feeling my age, or perhaps it is the impact of David Horsey's latest cartoon this morning, when it is cold enough outside for even our resident starlings to stick close to their nests. I am feeling more like a disposable something, although I am uncertain if my wife and family know for certain just what that is. One thing is certain: disposable employees have become a sad but true statistic of the current American economy. Super employers use them for a little while, and unceremoniously dump them in the employment trash can, hopefully before they have accrued enough time-on-the-job to be worth unemployment benefits.
Of course, I sagely advise, nodding my head wisely, I saw this all coming. Yup.
There are, unfortunately, several big disadvantages to the "disposable society", because our landfills are are not only filling up with all those disposable plastic pieces we've been throwing away, as they simply do not recycle worth a damn, but the long-term repercussions extend further. Our society is filling up with disposable people for whom society-at-large have no further use. You often see them, standing in small circles downtown, huddling together waiting for the homeless shelters to open their doors for a bit of warmth, a spot of breakfast perhaps and then waiting outside until the next time. The best they can hope for is a minimum-wage job at a fast food joint, if that.
During one of my sojourns into Downtown Spokane which are increasingly less and less frequent, I once interviewed a former software support employee who hailed originally from down in Silicone Valley who was staying at a homeless shelter, looking for work every day. The unfortunate part, however, was that he once worked for a major San Jose, California software developer who laid him off with less aplomb than a visit to your favorite public restroom for a quick bit of recycling. With a good college education, he was hopeful for a management position slightly above minimum wage, which was the best he could hope for.
His job was exported to China who, it seems, is always willing to help us with our human recycling efforts. They help us by manufacturing and selling us trash cans for our human being disposal, those that couldn't cut it as temporary employees, that is.
Maybe that is why we have Obamacare. Your results may differ.
Good evening, Netizens…
We were damned lucky last Monday!
Of course, no one publicly made such a statement after a sophisticated bomb was left Monday directly along the path that Martin Luther King Day parade marchers would have been following if a remarkably resourceful group of city employees had not summoned police in time. However, given what little we know of the (a) bomb's construction, or (b) the manner in which it was to be detonated remotely, we can only speculate at the amount of damage, in terms of human injuries and/or deaths that this device would have caused. Once again, depending upon the explosive charge, the bomb could certainly have caused a lot of collateral damage to surrounding businesses.
Once you begin to really assess the possibilities one can quickly see just how lucky we were.
The only methods of preventing similar incidents such as this from occurring again in the future are Monday's are constant vigilance and rapid response. If you see something that just "doesn't fit", such as a backpack or other container sitting unattended, do not assume someone else will report it to authorities.
While the FBI is quoted as saying "The confluence of the holiday, the march and the device is inescapable, but we are not at the point where we can draw any particular motive…" I do not believe that coincidences such as Monday's event ever take place without a motive. Had the bomb been detonated during the march, and I believe that was what the bomb's creator had intended, we could easily have lots of dead and injured bodies with wholesale property damage and be no closer than we currently are in resolving who was responsible.
We were just lucky someone was vigilant.
Good morning, Netizens…
I did not watch the Miss America contest. In fact I cannot recall a time in my life when I watched it ever for a remarkable number of reasons which I will perhaps elucidate later on. However, there was one contestant that left me speechless, laughing and stomping my feet (which probably woke up half the house at this ungodly hour of the morning) with good humor.
Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady, stole the Miss America show, in my opinion and should have won the show for sheer cheek and perhaps even talent. I come from the Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney generation of ventriloquism, which tells you a lot about my age, but this link pretty much says it all.
I know from having interviewed an aspiring ventriloquist upon several occasions back in my college days that creating and throwing your voice for one dummy is quite an accomplishment, let alone for two dummies while singing a pop-western song. Like any good ventriloquist, however, I didn't see Mz. Eady's lips move once.
Tomorrow marks the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birth (January 15, 1929). Mr. King was a remarkable figure in our history - for all cultures, for all faiths, for all beliefs, for all people. As we seem to be muddled in the middle of a lot of negative news, let us get back on track.
Below are some excerpts from his 17 minute speech:
May peace be with you, may peace lead you. May you dream a dream that makes a difference in your life and the lives you touch.
Good afternoon, Netizens…
As if we didn't collectively have enough sadness and woe to fill our consciousness, as of early this morning we have another officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of a citizen. Although there is very limited information available to the public at this time, noon on Sunday, this much is known: at four AM, two Spokane Police Officers were responding to a report of domestic violence in a home and shot and killed a man who was armed with a knife at the 5700 block of North Elgin in North Spokane. Given the limited information being released to the news media, I do believe that does count for domestic violence, yes.
Today's shooting is the seventh officer-involved shooting in Spokane County since August, and the fifth fatal shooting. Of course, County Prosecutor Steve Tucker, recently re-elected into office by popular accord, has not ruled on any of these officer-involved shootings.
Of course, so long as we never question the manner in which justice is administered in Spokane County we may never locate it. Of course, your results may differ.
Good morning, Netizens…
I have have spent an entire week huddled meekly in the corner of my office contemplating all the various opinions that have rumbled forth from Community Comment regarding the shootings in Tucson, Arizona and for what? Could I by holding my peace undo any of the terribly sad events that took place; could I somehow thwart the angry ebb and flow of opinions regarding Sarah Palin's opinions, if not half the ultra-conservative blog posts? I simply sat and watched everyone's opinions splat vociferously against the walls of the Internet and tried to make a peace of it all. For what it is worth, I believe I failed miserably at making an inner peace within myself regarding the controversy over mental illness and the right to bear arms.
Perhaps the uppermost vision that swam through my mind was how horribly sad it must be to carry a coffin bearing the last remains of a small child to its final resting place. Such a somber image as the pallbearers carrying the tiny body of Christina Taylor Green out the door of the funeral home should never be visited on the hearts of parents or grandparents anywhere.
Then there is David Horsey's cartoon that spoke volumes about this little girl, dead long before her time, who in life was full of great hopes and aspirations, who truly wanted to fulfill the dreams and hopes of the best and finest that is America.
People can politically say what they want about President Barack Obama but it remains certain that he is a masterful public speaker, of crafting durable, vibrant verbal images that speak to the American experience.
Just one time give me my heartfelt wish: no more tiny children in coffins, shot dead by a terribly deranged young man with a gun and uncertain motivations. No more murder and mayhem in the streets, regardless of their political beliefs.
Good morning, Netizens…
Before I even begin to wander through the malaise of claims and counter-claims surrounding the shootings in Tucson, Arizona this morning, because I feel compelled to be cautious in condemnation, slow to commit judgment and unswerving in my belief that despite all that horror that took place near a Safeway Store, I must be true to myself. Leonard Cohen is perhaps one person who has had the most influence on how and when I developed my philosophy of life. The first time I heard him sing Suzanne live in New York I knew I had found a mentor, a spiritual guide who could help me unravel all the internal anger and confusion of my youth.
But this morning, as Arizona's Representative Gabrielle Giffords fights for her life in a hospital bed, even that song cannot reach past the outrage I feel at what Jared Loughner did in his act of anger and violence, who indiscriminately killed six people including an innocent child, perhaps Mr. Cohen's song that most-strongly reaches into my psyche is "Hallelujah", here performed at Helsinki.
Then, in Cohen's own words, I must reflect upon:
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
At this ungodly hour of the morning, although I cannot cry for the faceless dead, the injured dwelling in hospital beds crying out in their pain, all I can say is Hallelujah and thank Leonard Cohen for setting my philosophy straight just one time more.
It is time we learn that words have power, and that they can destroy as easily as they uplift our souls.
Good morning, Netizens…
Several things leaped out at me from this morning's David Horsey cartoon about the aging of the Baby Boomers. I was a predecessor of the Baby Boomers, since I had nearly a year of age on top of most Boomers, and a world of experience beneath my belt.
I never wore bell-bottoms or granny glasses. Even back then my ample backside didn't fit with the latest fashion trends, so I stuck with plain blue jeans suitably adorned with a big belt buckle from one of my favorite truck stops. Even worse, back then I wore thick glasses, coke bottles I believe I called them, just barely legal to get my commercial driver's license. Later on in life, I had eye surgery which, while it corrected my cataracts, also altered my eyesight to 20-20 without need for those glasses anymore. It changed my life forever.
My hair was a little longer then, but one has only to realize I have a hell of a lot less hair now than then.
Most predominantly, however, I never felt comfortable using such words or phrases of that era such as "far out" or "groovy" simply because they didn't fit in comfortably with my educational background. Today using either phrase truly dates the speaker, as both have fallen out of contemporary use, thank god.
In short, I never truly fit in with the "in crowd" of the 60's. I had just enough hair to not appear like a redneck, enough facial hair to allow me to pass for one of the "chosen ones" and during the summer months, I always had a job, and even other times I was always looking for work despite being a full-time student and a long-haul truck driver.
When I look back on the 60's and 70's in the mirror, all my mistakes, perceived and otherwise, stand out tall. Of all the musicians and songwriters of that era, hundreds stand out tall in my memory's horde for I always had the itch to hear new music. However, a song that has stood the test of time, written by the incomparable Tom Paxton, probably states it all when it comes to that era of my life.
"I could have done it better, I didn't mean to be unkind, you know that was the last thing on my mind."
Good morning, Netizens…
Was the person who shot and gravely injured Arizona's Rep. Gabrielle Giffords partially motivated by a website filled with rhetoric by Sarah Palin that featured gun sights in Giffords state, among others? Political rhetoric that encourages violence is not unknown in America, but yesterday's event, which resulted in the deaths of six people, clearly crosses over the line of freedom of speech, in my opinion.
When are angry statements, even implied statements that promote violence on the Internet, such as the gun sights, to be condoned in American politics?
Ultimately Sarah Palin is responsible for the content of her web site, sarahpac.com. While this web site has been pulled down in most regions, questions remain, grave questions about civility and propriety still linger and all the apologies by Sarah Palin for the death of many and grave wounding of Arizona's Represenative Gabrielle Giffords will not undo one iota of the horrific damage done.
What motivated the shooter? Although we may never truly know that answer anytime soon, once one stirs the pot of righteous indignation by encouraging violence, you have left the world of politics in the dust.
Good evening, Netizens…
Here we have cartoonist David Horsey taking a well-aimed shot at the latest GOP feather merchant class of legislators to hit the House and Senate. Although I have been avidly listening to the various members of the GOP, both Tea Party members and those not, I cannot help but be fascinated at all the lofty-sounding predictions of what they are going to do in the near-future. Things such as scratch Obamacare off the map leaves me aghast and laughing. My belief is that both parties are equally adept at accepting legalized bribe money, freshmen or not.
I was also mildly amused at the fact the Republicans read the entire Constitution of the United States into the public record. My goodness, according to several sources, the Constitution has never been read into the House record. The reading also skipped the 18th Amendment that was ratified in 1919 to institute prohibition of alcohol. That amendment was overturned in 1933 by the 21st Amendment.
So we march onward into an uncertain future, with the same bunch of lobbyists dispensing monies from the public till. We have the best Congress that money can buy.
Good morning, Netizens…
With the announcement that the movie "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" won top awards at the People's Choice Awards yesterday, I immediately reached for something to stem the immediate onset of diarrhea and an upset stomach, because I am already sick to death of movies and TV fare of all kinds relating to vampires. Perhaps it is an age thing, where people in later years simply do not connect with such fare. Or, if you allow me the right to wax more vitriolic I fail to see any social significance to vampire shows; none whatsoever.
Mind you, I have never seen Twilight, nor am I apt to. I go to an occasional movie to be entertained, not watch a pair of 20-somethings gnawing on each other like a starving street pit bull mutt on someone with a tight body.
What is perhaps more distressing to me than the award being given to Twilight are the number of ostensibly sane, morally healthy and responsible members of the news media who have given kudos to the movie. Have they lost their marbles? Their accolades for this fare does little to add to their credibility.
Of course, there are lots of people who must have voted for Twilight, and I suppose I pity them and any innocent children who may inadvertently attend its showing.
I haven't even begun my vituperative rant on books written exclusively about vampirism.
We are long overdue for movie fare that uplifts the soul, that enlightens its viewers and sings the praises of living in peace with one another, not vampire movies, regardless of how attractive the packaging Hollywood may put on it or the advertising hyperbole that has crept, unwanted, into prime time television advertising slots. Of course, one should be quick to note the deplorable lack of demand for such fare.
Of course, your results may differ.
Good morning, Netizens…
As Tom Sowa noted in the Spokesman-Review online this morning, the Empyrean Coffee House will be closing its doors January 15, 2011. However, there is more to the story than was noted.
Michelle Riddle and her sister, Chrisy Riddle, ran the shop first at 154 S. Madison. After building owners raised the rent they moved to 171 S. Washington, according to the story in the SR. However, I do recall that at the South Madison location they were faced with installing fire suppression equipment, which was cost-prohibitive and resulted in the move to the location, 171 S. Washington, the former location of The Big Dipper.
They moved in Jan. 13, 2010. They'll hold their final music show Jan. 15, Michelle Riddle is quoted as saying.
Now I do not know if Tom Sowa ever set foot in either the Madison Street address nor the new address for Empyrean. However, I know my wife and I attended several shows in the Empyrean before the move and we were not impressed. Although it had every reason to be successful as a dinner and music house, they never pursued dinner offerings as part of their venue. They simply tried to make Empyrean work on espresso drinks and snacks, and in this town, that simply won't cut the mustard, regardless of the musical talent they brought to the fore.
I would be more concerned about the potential closure of The Mac. It has historical and social significance which The Empyrean never seemed to have acquired.
Good evening, Netizens…
It has been highly popularized that we should attempt to predict the future as we pass by the New Year, and cartoonist David Horsey has depicted poor old Uncle Sam getting his fortune professionally told. Given the overwhelming burden of debt our country owes to the Chinese, much of what David Horsey has stated in this cartoon seems quite accurate.
Does this imply that our debt-burden is going to increase or decrease in the coming New Year? The more I thought about this, I cannot help but believe unless we, the people, take aggressive action to stop the constant purchasing of trade goods from China and various other Far Eastern bloc nations, and begin manufacturing more of the things we consume, matters will only tend to get worse, not better.
However, in order to accomplish that goal, one of the toughest high-level decisions our government will have to make is that of whether or not to pursue trade embargoes, which have never been popular since the advent of transistorized circuit boards back in the 70's. We would have to forgo products made by Panasonic, Sony, Sanyo and various other offshore manufacturers, all of whom are able to manufacture electronics at prices well below what U.S. manufacturers would cost for comparable products.
Not to mention the number of ongoing loans from China which have increasingly been used to balance our somewhat unstable national economy. I believe first we will have to come to grips with just how unstable our economy is. That, too, might be an unpopular decision.
Somehow we have to stop this invisible economic landslide before it, and our country, simply slide off the economic cliff, thus fulfilling the prediction of which David Horsey has depicted with such eloquence.

Nashua police investigating untimely death
"It was an untimely death," Sgt. Joseph Molinari said on Friday morning.
A hazardous materials disposal crew and bomb squad responded to the residence around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday over concerns about possible chemicals on the property. Residents were evacuated from the area as a precaution, according to police, who said nothing suspicious or criminal in nature was located.
According to Molinari, the man's death does not appear to be suspicious at this time.
"But it is still an ongoing investigation," said Molinari.

Friendly and helpful staff! Maintenance requests handled promptly. They say the main pool is heated year-round Read More, but hardly warm. Hot tubs/jacuzzi also not hot. I'm happy they started a recycling program. :)
February 7, 2014
Manager Response
Thank you for the positive review. We are sorry that your experience with the pool/spa was not a warm one. We are regulated to keep the water temperature at approximately 80 degrees during the off season months however we will be more then happy to check the system to make sure it is working/heating properly. Appreciate the feedback on the recycling program!
Gilbert Greens Apartments Resident
Great managers! They will fix what needs to be fixed right away. They try to make their residents happy. The p Read Morerice of the complex is rediculous. The apartments are not worth what we are paying.
December 27, 2013
Manager Response
Thank you! We do try to make our residents happy, this is their home and we appreciate you stating that. As far as the price of the community, we conduct a market survey with our competitors to make sure we are staying at or below market rate. We also try to maintain the community to make this an attractive place to live and we still pay for the water, trash and sewer.
Gilbert Greens Apartments Resident
It was a bit spendy, even on a 6 month lease. The evenings were dominated by an overwhelming smell of cow manu Read Morere. This is something that should have been told to prospective tenants before signing anything.
December 24, 2013
Manager Response
We are sorry that you experienced such a smell while living at Gilbert Greens. Gilbert itself still has some rural areas and even though we are not located next to one, with strong winds, one might experience a smell. As far as the price on a six month lease, we do try to stay competitive and we conduct market surveys on a monthly basis. We have found that we stay at or below the rate of competitors and we still pay for the water, trash and sewer.

Beer, usually Harpoon IPA or Bass Pale Ale. Although lately I've been having the either Harpoon's Oktoberfest or Sam Adam's Oktoberfest since they're only around this time and year and are pretty awesome.
If it's in the afternoon though, I generally stick to either coffee or just water.

I still use an old columbia 300 red dot from around 1981. Works great on
typical house shot. I always get a kick out of these guys that show up with
3 or 4 high performance bowling balls, and then I pull out my red dot and
beat 'em. This is my first year back after a 10 year layoff....averaging
215, but again..it's on a THS.

Author pocodfe (5 years)
Ya, I know, but when I said "standard", I meant a standard pattern from the
70's or 80's...one typically used back, in the day. Now that would have
made this scoring much lower.
Author phorcajo (5 years)
Back when plastic was king, the patterns were much flater and had about 1/2
the volume. To lay down a "standard pattern" would defeat the purpose of
the plastic tournaments.
Author pocodfe (5 years)
The only question I have is exactly how easy was the lane condtion to match
that of a plastic ball...as in DRY lanes? The real skill would have been to
put down a standard PBA condition and THEN see what happens.

I saw the incident to which you're refering, and I hate to call your bluff,

@thedoc56 I beg to differ. My 25 year-old Yellow Dot has six 300 games on
it on synthetic lanes with sloppy oil. If you are consistent, use your
brain and think about what you're doing instead of relying on an aggresive
ball to get to the pocket you can score on any lane surface with a plastic
ball. A 300 with an old ball is so much more satisfying than the new crap
that makes the game too easy.

Crappy Chinese product or legit steampunk webcam, you be the judge
One of the most common factors surrounding all of the amazing steampunk mods we have seen in the past is the fact that they are all custom built. Now a Chinese company by the name of ChinaVision has produced this strangely beautiful webcam that looks to be the spawn of steampunk, a webcam and an anglepoise lamp.
I highly doubt ChinaVision is secretly jumping onto the steampunk bandwagon because this device is being touted as a "stylish golden webcam with a bendable design." The rivet looking knobs on the frontside are also lights, which isn't too bad of an addition for design purposes and functionality. The actual webcam is $12, but expect shipping to be a hefty fee due to that whole Chinese retailer factor and all. Oh, and a $12 webcam probably isn't constructed out of brass and other high-end materials like other steampunk peripherals.
