My Printer has a problem, so I called India…why not

Friday, December 5th, 2008 |

I went out and bought an all-in-one printer to fill the gap left by my high end, high volume printer as I wait for it to get fixed. I got the All-in-one because i wanted to replace my offic fax also and adding a compact scanner was a nice bonus (saves the space of getting out my  portable scanner), I still have the flat bed scanner but that is another story.

This story is unfolding as I sit listening to all the advertising/entertainment/subliminal ‘be happy’ comments on the HP support line. Background: So there I was printing happily and helping a client when BAM le-error. NOOooooo, I can’t be out of ink really this soon, @$#@$. Checking and testing results in a “cartridge error” ahh a bad print cartridge head. 

SIDE NOTE: The recording just said,” to get more informaiton contact HP.COM slash AHEMM (a cough) ” I like that URL but I think it may be a litle difficult to ensure proper spelling.

Back to the story: I tried the URL in the new cartridge box but that page does not exist anylonger, humm. So I try searching for the part number on their support site and searchign or “C9351A” I get a part not found error that says I should try searching on a part number… ? whats that about?

more to come later… got other things to do now. :)

So what now - After Nov. 4

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 |

So what are we doing now? I had first considered a title “How to ease a country into Socalisim” but I guess that lesson may be learned experiencially. The next lesson will be how to have a Democratic Revolution and move away from Socialism.

If anything else the Nov 4 elections provedthat you can motivate the uneducated, lower class, and the youth to vote if you tell them that they will get a share of the wealth. The whole “redistribute the wealth” campaign backed by the mantra of “change”. Many of us are still sitting wondering what exactly is goign to change?

I take solace in the knowledge that Mr. Obama is now learning the reasons we can not cut-n-run out of the various war zones we have gotten stuck in and why we must continue to support Isreal and why Iran is filled with “bad guys”. I can picture him sitting at a big table saying, “we are doing WHAT!?” and “Did they REALLY do THAT!?” and then trying to figure out how to do a spin on all the empty promises he made so the masses don’t turn on him.

Ladies and Gentlemen, stand by, because this ride is just starting.

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 |

I have never been one to openly support a political party or support one or another canidate. However, there are some issues in this election that are too Anti-Constitution for me to just sit.

Although I am not a big supporter of either party and typically not much or a supporter of any canidate I have to voice my opinion in opposition to Barak Obama and his record on some Constitutional issues.

I have spoken to several of his supporters; they keep calling my house, and apparently they have, like many other, fallen prey to the hype and flash of his campaign and not looked at his voting record. He is not been doing what he says he will do.

Now just what does that really mean the he “has not been doing what he says he will do”? Well lets look at it this way, an abusive husband/boyfriend says, “Baby I love you I will never do that again” and next week or next month she is battered and beaten again.  Do we really, honestly, expect him to change. He is not demonstrating what he says he will do.

If Barack Obama says that he supports hunters but includes their ammunition in an ammunition ban is he supporting or not. I say not; Such as I support your right to have a gun, but you are not allowed to use it. I support your right to defend yourself as long as you dont hurt the other person.

Obama openly states that he wants to get the illegal guns out of the inner-city areas. GREAT, ME TOO! Let’s collect the little criminals and lock theri butts away, let’s track down the illegal gun dealers and put the hammer down on using guns to commit crimes. BUT Obama thinks that to remove the guns you need to make a law that states you can not have a gun in the city limits. Now just who is going to abide by that law?

The honest citizen that follows the rules will always follow the rules because that is who they are. A Criminal will consistently not follow the rules (that is what makes them a criminal). Correct me if I am wrong but it is already illegal rob a store, mug a person, invabes another persons house to steal, and rape is illegal too. The law allows for a higher penalty if a gun is used in the commission of that crime. Has that law stopped any criminal from using a gun to commit that crime? NO! Because they don’t follow the rules anyway.

So if it is illegal to possess a gun in the inner-city, just who is going to follow that law? The law abiding citizen will. And who will be left with the guns? That’s right, the criminal. Because that is what they are.

So a person that votes against your right to have a firearm, votes to put you in prision if you use a gun to protect yourself, votes against your right to have a gun in your home, but says “I’m not going to take your guns” can not be trusted to do as they say.

Your being abused, and you will continue to be abused because that is the history of their action, irrelevent of their words. Obama is on record saying ,  “Even if I want to take them [guns] away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2076057/posts)%20does) does this mean that if he could muster the votes he would?

Here’s a few links for you to take a look at:
Obama and the Second Amendment (the first ten are supposed to be sacred, remember?) Obama’s Second Amendment Stance

The Obama campaign doesn’t like the First Amandment when it is used to expose skeletons.
Obama Campaign issues a Cease and Desist Letter to stop the truth of his words from being revealed

Crime is rampant in England because of their in ability to control criminal behavior and the violent attacks with knives and clubs increased when they took away the citizens guns. Criminals use guns as a tool of intimidation. If the victim is intimidated then they comply, people think they can not fight against a gun so they give up. They do think they can fight against a knife and very often they become mortally wounded for thinking that way. If the victim is not intimidated then the criminal attacks with a high level of violence but that is for another posting.

-Free CCW class for Women

Sunday, March 9th, 2008 |

I am compelled to pass this on. Here is the original release from the NRA news letter.
——

NEVADA:  As a result of the murder of college student Brianna Denison, Armed and Safe Nevada is temporarily offering FREE Concealed Carry courses for women. The comprehensive eight-hour training program will include instruction on:  basic pistol safety and handling; live-fire shooting; holster choice; retention techniques; alternatives when you cannot carry a firearm; legal use of deadly force; laws and ordinances; civil liability; transportation of firearms; and more. This course will qualify participants for their CCW permit.  Classes will remain FREE for women and discounted for men until the killer is apprehended.  For more information and to register, please contact Kelly Ann Main, Armed & Safe, in Reno at (775) 560-2741.
—–

If you are close by call them, get information about taking the class. Even if you don’t want the CCW consider taking the class and receiving the training in safety and weapons handling. Who knows you may be lucky enough to disarm the assailant, wouldn’t it be a good thing to know how to use HIS gun against him?

The NV CCW can be issued to residents and non-residents, many states are now accepting the NV CCW as a valid license to carry concealed in their state.

Congressman from California is amazed that he needs to learn Spanish.

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007 |

Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California, “So, I went out to the big display they had where they had roped off a part of the parking lot to see what they had, to see what I might want to purchase. I was given a flier. I have a blowup of that flier here. When I was handed the flier, I noticed that it was in Spanish.” You’re in California man, who do you think is going to be buying the $200.00 drill motor?

Iranian President to Visit NY- so what..

Friday, September 21st, 2007 |

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he will not insist on visiting ground zero during his upcoming trip to New York, following an outcry by New Yorkers, the New York Sun newspaper reported on Friday. (9/21/2007)

Why are you people crying that you don’t want him to see a Giant Hole in the Ground?
Ask yourself  a few questions before you start your drum pounding and chanting.
Was he in charge of his country when we were attacked?
Did he have a hand in the attacks?
Does he have the potential to be a Leader of Change in his country?

In case you are having problems with this quiz the answers are Yes, NO, and Yes.
He does not understand the United States and Americans. His only exposure is in the confines of meetings with politicians, generals, and seeing soldiers. Has he experienced the sign waving peace-nick chanting to bring the troops home? NO. Has he experienced the pissed off flag waving demonstrator shouting Terrorist Go Home? NO. Now the big question, should he be exposed to it, Hell Yes.

Let the guy visit the site that so many of our citizens are so empationed about. Let him see how visceral the American public can respond to his presence. Let him see the outcrys of the public against his country-men and his policies.

The news media here in the United States is polluted by the liberal media that is consistently trying to spin everything their way and the conservative side focusing on the extreme differences of the two. Both sides near sighted in their views fighting constantly in words and media. Overseas the press is scrubbed, sanitized and edited to display what the state wants to display. The only way to understand is to see it.

Much like this man needs to see how we have been affected by the 9/11/01 attack and how deeply the emothions run, he also needs to learn by visiting Germany and some concentration camps.

Let him visit, let him see the protestors, let him see the hole, let him see the rebuilding, let him see the memorials, let him interview and listen to our people. All of this may help to remove his head from the dark hole it currently resides inside of protecting him from realities of the world.
Affect the decision makers, change the people that can lead change.

thats all

Why?

Thursday, August 16th, 2007 |

Why am I posting this blog… I really dont know. I guess because after a couple years of writting for school I figure I may as well continue the routine. Of course I am planning on having some sort of valuable content to someone. It may not be of any value to you but it will be worth something to someone.  So here it goes… oh sorry that was a false start. Now I am rethinking what I am going to write. Also I need to get away form this basic template.. :(

Many peopl have said that my speeling is at rocious, but I really don’t care, so if it bothers you, sorry but I ain’t not gonna change. Don’t comment on the contracted double negative I know how to write. I just can’t type as fast as I think.

I have a few projects going on and some of them I need help with. *IF* you are a web designer, graphic artist, sales person, programmer in php, cgi, asp, C++ etc or if you are one of those IT geeks that helps other peopl with their machines I am interested in hearing from you.
