Both the Republicans and Democrats remind me of ‘Pro Wrestling’, Two FOOLS pumped up on Steroids who stand and scream and yell at each other, put each other down, make fun of each other until the time comes for them to get into the ring. Once in the Ring, they Play Fight to the anger and enjoyment of the crowd until they feel they have dragged it out long enough and then one comes out the WINNER and talks bad about the loser.
As soon as the camera is off them and no one is looking, they pat each other on the back and go to their dressing rooms to count their CASH that all the gullible people had given them. The Obama administration is trying to scare people. He ultimately decides what gets paid with the income we receive each month. That’s means he can decided that SS/CMS or DNN .net CMS, and people serving gets paid. If those don’t get paid, that is solely his fault as we have the income to make those payments and it’s strictly his decision. He can also decide on whether or not to pay the interest payment so we don’t default.
Not raising the limit simply means that most of the government will shutdown. If we go into default, well, that’s his choice. The only risk is him deciding not to pay the interest payment, not that we don’t have the money be able to make it. What does raising the deficit mean to me??? Well the way I look at it is like this: I don’t have enough money to pay my Visa card, so I get an advance on my Master Card, Next month it is just the opposite, I use my Visa Card to pay my Master Card, I keep doing this and it seems to going along just fine, (Although I am not paying down ANY of the Principal on EITHER of these cards.NOW… Master Card has said that I can no long take cash advances and I have reached the limit of what I can Borrow… What do I do now; I don’t have enough funds to pay either Visa or Master Card.
I call the Cable Company and have them turn it off for I can SURVIVE without it, well now I can pay Visa but what about Master Card… I have to find something else I can live without and cut that out, I keep cutting until I can pay my bills and still Survive. No more gas money for the kids, (They can earn their own or Walk), don’t pay the kid down the street to mow the lawn, mow it myself.I know it sounds simple, but that is the problem… It IS. The hard part about is that the Dirt Bags in Washington are so deep and Dirty with Promises that they have been PAID for, that none of them can cut a program or a free hand out for fear of being exposed.
One thing I know for sure is that 50% of my neighbors are on social security. If they do not get their payment next month, (money that they worked and paid into the system) we will have many starving seniors with no lights, water, or gas. Now Obama, Congress, and the senate put that in your pipes and smoke it. Take care of your American voters before anyone

So you think it’s time to create a website? Whether it’s for personal use or for a business you just started, the internet is a great way to market and promote at a minimal cost. And, the best thing is that your web site delivers your message to a world of customers, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
It is important to remember that web sites are living virtual pages, like what digital marketing agencies have always say.
You will never be completely finished. Updates are common and important. No one will visit your site if the material is old and dated. People like new and change when it comes to web sites.
But, don’t change too much. It’s important to keep a consistent appearance to your site, but the content needs to be fresh and new.
Simple web sites are easy to create, but sites that need a shopping cart or other complex applications may require a professional web site designer to successful install and operate. I use the Yahoo! web site builder because it is easy to use and offers a huge library of templates to choose from.
Here are the top four areas to consider when setting up your web site:
Avoid the standard template look. Scan through the template libraries and search out choices. Do not choose the first one that appears or you risk your site looking like your competitor’s site. Choice of color scheme and font will help differentiate your site as well. But, don’t use too many different fonts. That creates a “busy” feel to your page. Update your content often. Add fresh new blogs, question/answer columns and photographs. People love photos! It creates a personal feel to your page and invites people to visit often. Add a calendar and clock for convenience too. Make sure your contact information is simple to use and easy to find on the page. Post a telephone number, email address and physical address to make sure people can get in touch with you. Facebook, Twitter and MySpace links should be on the contact page as well. Create a revenue stream. GoogleAdSense and other programs are available to add advertising content to your page, which will generate revenue for you every time someone clicks on the ad. These are free to install – just register and go.
Every web site has a beginning, so go ahead and start. Content can be added as you have time. Just make sure the basic contact information is loaded to the site first. It’s fun to be your own webmaster! And profitable too!

Science and technology are supposed to make life better for us. Mechanical inventions are designed to facilitate and lighten up our diverse daily chores. Modern-day gadgets are intended to provide sheer fun and entertainment. And manuals for appliances and devices are meant to enhance full productive use of these units.
I now question the veracity of those pronouncements. I am not quite sure anymore whether or not technology and its profound life-changing innovations really do make life better for all of us.Many will agree that technology can bring about the most unpleasant, unwelcomed and unwarranted burdens.
Even before the purchase of a device or a gadget, the ordeal can start with the simple tasks – the choosing and the deciding. I remember the long hours I would spend inside a Fry’s Electronics store in the West Coast (or in Sim Lim Square in Singapore) just to get a simple computer accessory like a mouse. I remember agonizing over aisles and shelves displaying ‘mice’ of all colors, brands and designs – small, large, ergonomic, cordless, infrared, USB or serial port compatible, etc. when I all I just wanted was a simple hand-graspable device to help me navigate through the menus of my computer programs. One can only imagine the greater agony one must go through when buying other hardware like motherboards?
The greater ordeal comes after the buying. Every piece of gadgetry comes with a manual (sometimes a CD), along with accessories and/or peripherals. These manuals can be voluminous sleep-inducing and nerve-wracking packages. They should guide one towards a more productive and effective use of the gadget, but leafing through the pages and absorbing their contents can be anything but a breeze.
When my 87-year old mother wanted a cell phone, she (and I) had only one criterion for the unit I would purchase – simple and easy to use. Why, even the simplest of cell phoneshas a lengthy manual to guide the user to utilize its full potential. Aside from necessarily getting to familiarize oneself with all its buttons and controls, one has to activate its other functions. One may need to register it with the website. One may need to transfer all the contact numbers and data from an old unit to the new one (before i-Cloud and Bluetooth possibilities). One may need to set up new configurations. One may need to install applications on a desktop PC or a laptop to be able to manage its contents and registries. Today, an i-Pad or an i-phone even have tutorial programs and applications that one can navigate to make full use of the device. Another device I am currently passionate about is the NAS, which I had for nas server test yesterday in my old friend’s house. Luckily, it worked really well for me and I think it is an absolute investment.
For quite some time, I remember using a Nokia 3330 (yes, before Apple came into our awareness and general use) that had nurses and technicians ribbing me about a piece of junk that seemed light-years away from the fancier units they were using. Many times, they would jokingly threaten to pool their resources to buy me a newer model. My reply to the daily banter was consistent – “All I want with my cell phone is the capability to call and text.” Translated, that meant I did not buy a cell phone to play games, to handle complex computations, to take pictures, to record a conversation or to download graphics, movies and music from the Internet. I love how in Google, I can see everything. Even reviews on new phones, even, and more. I learn many things in that little box and I know that if used properly, it can help the world to become a better place to live in.
Many years later (after abusing other Nokia models, getting bored with a Palm Pilot, stretching the limits of a Samsung, I now fiddle with an Apple i-phone, succumbing to all those advanced features which I previously said I did not need. Getting used to one brand makes it difficult to change to another. I remember how my Nokia-comfortable and educated fingers just found other brands (e.g. Sony and Samsung) and their key assignments and functions too confusing and relatively hard for total reorientation and refocusing. Of course, you can always blame the complex insidious and painfully inevitable process called aging as the underlying reason for this failure to adapt.
Thus far, new inventions and innovations bring about great comfort, convenience and fun. While surely one must bear the aches to be a techie somehow, there are pleasant discoveries and newfound thrills that today’s technology bring about. Self-photography (selfies and groupies), movie-making and editing, songwriting, instant chats, social networks, electronic mails and accessibility of anyone anywhere around the globe are just some of the thrills Steve Jobs and his generation of trailblazers have created for us in the last decade or so.
I can and I will bear the aches.
