My recipe:
- brining the turkey for 3 days
- cook the bird in the oven at 350 for 4 hours or until the thingy pops out.
- Put soaked hickory chips in the smokers pan. Fill water pan with water.
- Smoke the turkey for an hour.
- EAT the turkey! haha
Becky sprung her back muscles while in the shower.
She is in a lot of pain.
I looked it up, and most lower back injuries are from torn or pulled muscles.
Inactivity will cause that.
Robert and Joy came over.
I drove Robert's Ford Focus to pick up a video. His car drives like a Porsche!!!
It has 6 forward gears, shifts like a dream, but has continuous power through the 1,000-6,000 RPM range.
The speedometer may say 160mph, which I think it could do, however most tires are only rated for 120mph.
It handles OK. The suspension could be a little tighter.
I would recommend a Ford Focus to anyone.
Becky started crying really bad when she got up to use the bathroom.
I felt so bad so bad for her. I had to help her walk.
Robert suggested she needed to go to the hospital.
Seriously though, what are they going to do?
I went through 6 years of therapy with my ex wifes problems and it was a waste of time, and thousands of dollars.
The doctors and hospitals take a lot while giving very little. Insurance proceeds, not the customer, is their master.
I talked a lawyer not long ago about health care assistance.
She said, a person is better off going to California if they have low assets.
Nevada no longer gives Medicare assistance to women unless they have a child anymore.
She said I can get group coverage with the corporation if there are only two employees.
Insurance companies have to comply, however, that will be a couple of months down the road.

After talking to Teresa Zeigler from Yellow Book (702) 406-8170.
We will now get a white backed Yellow Page ad for $200 a month.
The book comes out in April, so we got in just about the right time.
A business has to advertise!
Our ads will be under the headings for Notaries, Loans, and Real Estate.
Plus, we'll show online in 6 weeks.
Ya know, I had to notice from the other ads in Yellow Book
- There was an ad for a notary that was listed as Notario Publico, which is EXTREMELY ILLEGAL.
To people, from spanish speaking countries, that is the title of a lawyer.
It is specifically listed in the Nevada Revised Statutes as being a no no.
- Also, in the listings, an ad mentioned wills. Normally a will is notarized by the lawyer that drafts it.
While this is not illegal, it is probably unethical.

November 19, 1863 (143 years ago today)
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation,
conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

---

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation,
or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

---

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us...
that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom ;
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

We hung out, watched X-Men 3, and went to the Chocolate Gardens.

It was okay. I guess don't like cheese e characters. Paul sprung for it.
Gma had a birthday party at Paul's house, and that was especially cool.

We went to the Chocolate Wonderland.

That was really neat. We saw lots of lights throughout the gardens. 
Starbucks was giving away their special holiday brew too. Yum.
We also saw some rabbits, and an owl...Pretty cool, huh?
To spoil things 108 FM was advertising their We Hate Smokers concert in Henderson.
Its the "Industry-Free Hardcore, manipulation-free punk, smoke-free-seen against tobacco users"
Thats what the pamphlet reads. I thought that was really UnCool.
I hope these guys appreciate what is happened when sales taxes and unemployment go up, and tourism goes down.
Everyone gets what they ask for I guess.
Also, to top things off when we got home,
Dustin hung out for 10 minutes, then played Gameboy for the rest of the night.
He said he didn't like the "Da Vinci Code", but he had no idea what the movie was about.
Becky, Jennifer, and I watched The Da Vinci Code
I learned more about the Constantines and the Byzantines.
The movie was interesting.
Dustin learned how to jump things over cartoon characters I guess.
Once again, we all get what we want, I guess.

Clint Holmes, along with Santa and his elves, will be at a tree lighting ceremony at Lake Las Vegas Resorts.

I've had to notice, since I've been studying the laws relating to Notaries.
Two things are mandated:
- The person has to be in front of the notary.
- A notary can't charge you more than $5.
This year, we've had four documents notarized.
One for a home refinance (it was legal).
One for our bond and insurance (it was illegal, the notary never saw us, she was in Pahrump).
One for our corporate account (it was illegal, the notary never saw us).
One was a neighbor's document that had no title, no legal certificate but a Postal Outfit notarized it for $15 anyway.
After calling around for a Mobile Notary Services
I noticed ALL of them charged more than $25!
At least I'll be 100%  legal.
I'm going to charge $20 for the referral, $20 for the trip, and $5 for the notarization.
I may be the only person with a legal notary business in Las Vegas.

It costs $2,500 to open, but it is completely free!
And it pays interest, even if you just have a $1 balance.

Bidding starts at 11am.
We can be there, or online at www.greatamerican.com .
11/17 Fri - Casino Floor and Tables, (no slots will be sold) Sportsbook, Consumer Collectibles

11/21 Tues - Facility assets, Office furnishings, miscellaneous, odds and ends.

I listened to the people in front of me at the lines. They were being duped.
So I got written estimates and used logic to beat them.
Mr Brake said I needed new rotors.
- They estimated over $400 but $250 was for the rotors. Ceramic pads were included.
Midas said my rotors were fine, but I need new shocks.
- They estimated over $400, but $250 was for the shocks. Ceramic pads were included.
Another Mr Brake said the rotors were fine, but $99 brake pads were crap
- They estimated over $400 for the pads, but $250 was for ceramic the pads.
Combining all of those estimates, it was obvious I was being duped.
I showed my estimates to the first Mr Brake
- I pointed out that, unless Midas and the other Mr Brake were lying, they had to be wrong about the rotors.
- A customer was present that was about to pay $400 for a $99 coupon brake job. (I listened in)
Mr Brake gave me new ceramic brakes (front only) and shocks for $250.
- They said OOPS! We made a mistake on the rotors.
I should point out the following:
- I felt sorry for the other customer that was getting duped.
- It was near closing time
- I watched them do it from the parking lot.
DO NOT TRUST AUTO MECHANICS!!! Get written estimates first.

Channel 8 Stings Purrfect Auto
I was really happy to see what I think is a common dupe.
Auto repair companies typically lure people in with coupons that charge unreasonably low rates.

Its supposed to help 1 out of 5 smokers quit, by both blocking nicotine absorption into the brain, and by satisfying the craving for it. It joins Zyban for quit smoking drugs.
Unfortunately, it costs $4 a day ($128 a month).
For me, without insurance, that goes up to $8 ($256 a month), due to needing a prescription.
When you consider we have two smokers in the house, its not a viable solution.
I can't find it in the underworld of  pharmaceutical drugs yet. Maybe in a few months it will be available for $1 a day.
Since Chantix's success rate is only a marginal gain over Zyban for smoking cessation
And its SO EXPENSIVE, I think I'm going to go with Zyban.
Zyban can be purchased from this link Offshorerx.com for what amounts to $60 a month.
An article by Phyzer says only 1 out of 20 smokers who try to quit smoking succeed without aid.

From :whyquit.com
Today there are nearly 50,000,000 smokers in the United States, which is nearly 20% of our entire population.
If 20% of the 42,191 who died in 1998 automobile accidents were smokers,
your chances of dying from smoking are 50 times greater than being killed in a car accident. 
With those kind of odds, why even wear a seatbelt?
With 220,000 middle aged smokers dying this year, each an average of 22.5 years early, wouldn't it make more sense to sell the seatbelts and the airbags and use the money for a down payment on a coffin.  Seriously!  Have you ever been coffin shopping?  It's a real eye opener - so many colors and lots of styles.  Save your family the hassle!  Plan and pay for your own early funeral now.
I just went to the above sight for some tips to quit smoking.
Instead, I find myself reading blatent propaganda.
That sucks!
Did I read that article right?
Are they telling, not only smokers, but EVERYBODY to not wear their seat belts.
I did some simple math on these numbers.
Lets to some math...what do you say?
- The average life span in the US is said to be 76 years old.
- There are 300,000,000 people in the US.
So, 300,000,000 / 76 = 3,947,368 people die every year. That was easy.
The article says 220,000 people die of smoking each year.
So, of the deaths that occur each year, what percentage is smokers?
Simple, divide 220,000 / 3,947,368 and muliply by 100...
ANSWER: 5% of deaths each year are caused by smoking.

I'd compare the addiction to breathing. When you don't get oxygen, you go nuts!
Why did it get so popular in the first place?
I'd imagine the cause was greed.
Smokers have been over taxed and under compensated. That adds up to a lot of money.

---

The following are some statistics I gathered from the internet
If you believe what you read, this is how statistics fit together.
Taxes: There are 44 million people in the US smoking 1 pack a day. They pay $1 a pack in taxes to the state.
So 44 million people x $1 a day x 365 days = Smokers pay $16 billion dollars in state taxes a year.
Social Security Retirement: The Average life span is 76 years. Smokers live 17 years less than non smokers.
So most smokers die by their 59th birthdays. Smokers rarely get Social Security Benefits.
Social Security and Medicare have taxed 15% of every dollar I've ever made. That will all go to non smokers.
This sad commentary is interesting:
From www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov
Despite a widespread cessation in smoking over the past several decades, there has been no significant decline in death rates from lung cancer among former smokers, according to a new study (Epidemiology 1999;10:500-12).
So, given my own collection of information from the web:
- I'm going to die early even if I quit.
- Insurance won't touch me.
- I won't get a job.
- I'll die before retirement.
- I won't get Social Security benefits
- I won't get that 15% in FICA paid throughout my life.
In short: I'm going to die poor, hated, sick, and cheated.
My course of action can only be one thing:
Quit smoking, and lie about ever having smoked.

Your absolutely right Mikey, we need to quit.
I really appreciate your response.
Tweaked articles like the one you pasted are hard to dispute. They do insult common sense though.
I think I found that article. Smokers need not apply here 
If you read that article, you'll realize the employer, Weyco, absolutely HATES smokers.
Rebutting a few things it said:
- Since when do you sell your $500,000 house without repainting it? I think thats funny.
- Who gets their teeth dry cleaned?
- About the 6,000 employers who don't hire smokers. 
   Weyco admittedly spies on its employees. They are not someone I would want to work for.
   I really think this employer has gone too far. They'll admittedly fire someone for lighting up while vacation.
The justification has a footing: Smokers can be persecuted because they can quit, and it costs insurance companies money.
If you could renounce Judaism to escape persecution, would you?
The solution for me isn't one of faith though. Its one of character.
When good guys are suddenly depicted as bad guys, don't you want to ask the question "What happened?".
Mob mentality, I think, is always a bad thing.
Of all the people I've known in my life, 3 died from cancer, 2 of them were smokers
Therefore I could say 2 out of every 3 people who die from cancer, smoke.
But my group is made up of at least 100 of dead people that I've known.
From personal knowledge, the top killers would be old age, accidents, suicide and murder.

Theres problems with the First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech.They may face lawsuits about it.
At least their trying to hold on to what they view as sacred.
I've noticed that you must speak English to gain citizenship unless you are over 55.
Americans have lost so much.
You can't raise your child the way you want, you can't say a prayer in school.
I can't even understand the girl in the drive up window at McDonalds.
It won't be long before all of the religious holidays are gone.
Hey, kids are murdering each other. Has anyone noticed?
Do we need something like language dividing us even further apart?

Lyman Cutlar was a farmer in San Juan, an island near Washington, and Vancover.
During that time, the English and British were at odds of the rights to land.
In 1959, San Juan only had 18 American colonist.
Cutlar caught a pig eating his tubors (potatoes), and shot it.
The pig was owned by a sheep herder who worked for the Hudson Bay Company.
The two, who had gotten along before the incident, got in a dispute, one yelling "Keep you pigs out of my potatoes",
the other yelling, "Keep your potatoes out of my pigs". The British threatened to arrest Cutlar.
The colonist petitioned the US for aid and the situation esculated.
Things started getting CrAzY
Next thing you know, 514 Americans with 14 cannons opposed five British warships, with 70 guns, and 2,140 men.
It was known as the Pig War. It didn't happen though, thanks to President Buchanan's intervention.

Can 20,000 votes out of Nevada's 2.4 million people take away individual freedom.
- take away a business's right to decide what his customers want?
- take away a consumer's rights to choose what he buys
There are 1.8 million people over 18 in Nevada. 20,00 votes allowed Question 5 to pass.

What really bothers me about Question 5 is what it does to free enterprise.
A line is being crossed here that is dangerous. Today, the smokers are the targets.
Do you like your steak medium rare? Do you like hot coffee? How about beer?
Its forseeable that fatty foods, drinking, obesity, even illegal immigration could all be construed as being harmful to your health. How many jobs have to be lost before Americans wake up?
Destroy freedom and you destroy what this nation is all about.

Free Enterprise - How it is supposed to work
The following is an excerpt from socialstudieshelp.com
The U.S. economic system of free enterprise operates according to five main principles: the freedom to choose our businesses, the right to private property, the profit motive, competition, and consumer sovereignty.

Freedom to Choose Our Businesses
In this country, the decision whether or not you should go into computer services or any other kind of enterprise (business) is basically yours alone to make. You will decide what fees to charge and what hours to work. Certain laws prohibit you from cheating or harming your customers or other people.
But, in general, you will be left alone to run your business as you see fit.

Right to Private Property
Private property is a piece of land, a home, or a car owned by an individual, a family, or a group. It differs from a public building, or public property, such as the city hall, a park, or a highway, all of which provide a government service for all citizens. In the U.S. economic system, people's right to buy and sell private property is guaranteed by law. People must use the property in safe and reasonable ways, of course. In setting up computer systems for your customers, for example, you do not have the right to interfere with the electrical, telephone, or computer systems of other people.

Profit Motive
The main reason why you or any enterprising person organizes a business is to make money. You do this by earning more money than you spend. The amount of money left over after subtracting your business expenses from your business income is known as your profit. In the free enterprise system, business firms try hard to keep costs down and increase their income from sales. The better they succeed at this, the higher are their profits. Economists describe the efforts by business firms to earn the greatest profits as the profit motive.

Competition
Just as you are free to start a computer business, so is everyone else. The rivalry between sellers in the same field for consumers' dollars is called competition. If your business is profitable, it is likely that others will enter the same business hoping to be as successful as you are. They will be competing with you for the same customers. To win a share of the computer business, other sellers may try to offer more and better services, or services at lower prices. Because of the pressure of competition, business firms must constantly try to provide the best services and create the best products at the lowest possible prices.

Consumer Sovereignty
In the end, it is the customers, or consumers, who determine whether any business succeeds or fails. In the U.S. free enterprise economy, consumers are said to have sovereignty-the power or freedom to have final say. Consumers are free to spend their money for Product X or for Product Y. If they prefer Y over X, then the company making X may lose money, go out of business, or decide to manufacture something else (perhaps Product Z). Thus, how consumers choose to spend their dollars causes business firms of all kinds to produce certain goods and services and not others.

I'd assume it has something to do with the space shuttles. 
The Thunderbirds were GREAT today. They can climb straight up, 6 miles in 2 minutes. AWESOME!
19 more miles up and they'd be in a stationary orbit.
It was also the F15's last official flight today. It was pretty incredible to see these planes hoover

Ahhh..I'm glad you asked!
It needs to be on the internet somewhere first.
You may have to load it up somewhere on the net (MySpace is pretty easy).
Once you have the picture on the internet:
- Right click the thumbnail on the uploaded picture, select copy.
- While entering or updating a blog entry, click where you want the picture to be, then click Paste
- or right click where you want the picture, then select Paste,
- or On the bottom toolbar, click the icon.
I saw those shots of Pearl Harbor in an email someone sent me.
I noticed that emailed pictures don't copy and paste very well too (it probably has something to do with them being in temporary storage).
-- Sorry bout that --
I didn't do the code that copies and pastes...lol

Maybe a non smoking Vegas would be great...for the Indian Reservations.
In California and Florida, you can smoke in Indian casinos.
You can on riverboat casinos, and international waters too.
Vegas is assumed to be the Sin City.
I've been to Copper Keg and the Blue Ox...they think they'll be losing their jobs!
Here, you have a bar on every corner. Its not like that in California.
A lot of people doubt that the law will take effect.
Nevada is supposed to be the national test bed for legal challenges on the indoor clean air laws.
Anyway, I was thinking that being a bartender might be a good fall back if this notary/corporation thing fails.
Guess not, if the local bars close. Timing, it seems, is everything.
I was talking to 5 bikers at a local bar last night.
They said they won't be coming back to Vegas if it becomes prudish, like California.
They liked how Vegas has everything to do, all the time, and is laid back.
They come here every weekend to get away from all the suppressing laws.
Another customer got into the conversation...oh man, did he get riled.
We represented 8 out of the 14 people in that bar.

November 11, 2006 - Nellis offers a free airshow, open the public.
The Thunderbirds perform, along with dozens of vintage aircraft.
We met the pilots, and they let you tour the interiors of the planes. We liked it!

The annual Las Vegas Veterans Day Parade takes palce on Saturday, Nov. 11.
The parade begins at 10 a.m. and should last until 1:30 pm.
The 4th Street parade route begins downtown on Coolidge Avenue and will stop at the Fremont Street Experience.

:)

Yes, its bad! Unless Dustin is lying to me.
I asked Dustin about the homework I'd helped him with last week...he said he lost it.
Then he said I got all of my answers wrong.
He said he got an "A" on it.
He also said I was wrong because on a graph, the X axis runs up and down and the Y axis runs horizontal.
Even Jennifer knew he was wrong about that.
He said ratios weren't anything like fractions.
He said I got the slopes wrong. He uses the formula slope = y² x x² .
I used the formula of a slope=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁).
In other words, Dustin hasn't learned anything.
But I guess he'll graduate as an "A" student.

According to the American Cancer Society.
Thats funny! .
They also say there has never been a study showing that tourism was hurt by a smoking ban.
Now thats just plain dumb.
I've read at least a dozen such reports.
They are all over the internet. Don't they use the internet?
One report says New York lost 2,650 jobs, $50 million in workers earnings,
and $71 million in the gross state product after the smoking ban.
But this is Las Vegas. We have quite a few non-stop flights coming in from Japan, and all over the world.
Of course, a smoking ban will hurt Nevada business.
Its silly to say it wouldn't.
Many of the reports that measure no change in business, go by the taxes collected per year.
They don't take into account the national growth in income per bar is around 25% per year.
They say if a bar made $1 last year, and is still making $1 this year, there is no change in business.
The studies should reflect the national growth in revenues.
Its no different than investment thinking.
If an investment is worth the same thing it was last year, it is actually losing money by not keeping up.

Nevada's minimum wage of $6.15 an hour will take effect November 28th.
Exemptions:
Employers who offer health insurance for less than 10% of the workers gross income.
Overtime Changes
Those with health insurance get overtime after 8 hours if their wage is less than $7.73.
Those without health insurance get overtime after 8 hours if their wage is less than $9.23.
What does that mean exactly?
Does that mean, if you make > $9.23 without insurance, or > $7.73 with insurance, you don't get overtime?
Is overtime pretty much history now?

The Treaty of Versailles officially ended World War I in June 1919.

The rehost project at Mgm...that would be what? September 1996 to December 1996...
I thought I had one brain cell for each day in my life, however, those are missing.

- Free Enterprise and the laws of supply and demand will be destroyed through legislation.
- Smoking will be illegal
- Alcohol will be illegal
- Caffeine will be illegal
- Gambling will be illegal
- We will lose our rights to what we can eat, drink or smoke
- We will lose the right to privacy
- We will lose all rights to individual freedom
- Spanish will become our official language
- New designer street drugs will be created more frequently.
- Paramedics will become popular
- Right to Forfeit Limb and Life and Liability Waivers will become standard for hospital admissions.
- Life extension will be available for the wealthy.
- The atmosphere will be destroyed.
- Illnesses from solar radiation will become apparent.
- Mankind will eventually destroy itself by its own hand.
And the finger pointing will have to be directed at no one but ourselves.

Free Enterprises has just suffered another blow.
Question 5 had some interesting implications to it.
Click here to read the legislation
Smoking will be allowed for:
- Casinos where minors are prohibited.
-Bars that don't serve food.
- Strip clubs and brothels.
- Retail tobacco stores.
- Private residences.
Smoking will be banned in:
- casinos where minors are allowed to loiter...almost all casinos
- bars that serve food...almost all bars
- In all public places
That sounds like it means everywhere.
This question was funded by the American Cancer Society.
Questions:
Can minors loiter in casinos?
Doesn't serving food at bars slow the intoxication rate?
The Health Department recomends eating for social drinkers. Is this a bad idea?
The Blue Ox says it has to serve food to satisify zoning requirements as a supper club.
Almost all its customers are smokers.
Its been open for over 20 years now.
PT's Pub and The Copper Keg are in the same bind.
Why are Strip Clubs and brothels excluded from the ban?
I've noticed you can smoke in Indian casinos.
Here's an interesting article on businesses effected by bans: Business ruined by smoking bans
I think tobacco sales should just be banned, period.
However, it seems that no state has the balls to do that.
Why pussy foot around the subject?
We all know that's where we're headed.

2 ripe bananas
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar

---

Melt butter in a small skillet over low heat.
Cut bananas into quarters lengthwise. Fry in melted butter until light brown.
Sprinkle with brown sugar and serve.
Or whatever...just fry some bananas in butter.
You can put syrup, powdered sugar, crushed graham crackers, or just about anything sweet on these.

Attorney Iris Fieldman, Esq returned my call.

Tele: (702) 388-4401, Fax: (702) 388-2519
She said call The Nevada Office for Hospital Patients Ombudsman 486-8255.
They are a state funded consumer billing advocate.
I'm faxing the lawyer my invoice, a letter I sent UMC, and the note I showed the receptionist, nurse and doctor.
She will fax me a General Authorization Letter.
She said I might call the County Commissioner.
She said the charges were OUTRAGIOUS!
They would probably justify the markup by citing they take care of the indigints.

I asked this question while eating BBQ Ribs at Memphis Barbeque last night
because I wanted female baby back ribs!
So, is it true that women have two more ribs than men do?
If so, could this be the origin of the biblical story about how Eve was made from Adam's rib?
The answer follows:
All people have twelve ribs.
The origin of the Adam's rib story isn't known for sure, but some think it may stem from a Sumerian joke.
So, you won't get 2 more ribs if you order female baby back ribs.

Obtained signatures from Ry Smith for Be Quick, however, I may need to get more signatures from him!
It cost about $700 to do all of this. Yuck! But the papers should be returned to me by 11/16/2006.
I need to look for an email for another Resident Agent Signature...
Only after this email is returned, does the ball start rolling on an EIN number, which I'm going to need for Yellow Page Ads, cost of doing business, and tax deductable parties at Studio 54 for my clients!
Hopefully, my DBA for Be Quick won't bump heads with Be Quick, Inc. My advisor said it shouldn't.

It was pretty cool day. We laughed, played, tickled, and had fun.
Driving down the freeway in the convertible, with the top down, we got waved at by six people in another convertible.
I love how that Mustang convertible makes me feel.
Sonny was in a great mood. The tenants called twice. Everything is going quite well.
Hopefully, we'll be a Certified Loan Signers by next Friday.
Becky and I polished the day off by dropping in at Arizona Charlie's for Bingo.
I generally don't like Bingo, but for the price, its great entertainment.
Basically, we were in a room with a 300 geriatric people who were daubing their cards to the beat of the ball picker.
Every once in a while, we'd hear a feeble sounding "beeengoooo".
I still remember the days when Bingo was offered at casinos for free...man, was that a long time ago.

Gibbons for Nevada Governor.

I didn't even know they could run!
Another election year.
Another year of representives bashing other representives.
They seem like children fighting over a toy.
Why do these political commercials intermesh with my otherwise pleasant TV time?
Me, I don't vote for anyone who spreads hate or negativity. 
The problem is, there's so much of that.

Me, I'm still upset about the Bush/Gore election.
As I understand the news, some votes got lost in the swing state of Florida, which happened to have Jeb Bush as governor
and Gore lost the election even though he had the popular vote.
But I'm not making this up...according to the The 2000 Presidential Election by Wikipidia
Main articles: Florida Central Voter File and Florida election recount
Some observers have questioned whether he or Secretary of State Katherine Harris attempted to help his brother in the 2000 presidential election by tampering with the voter rolls and then certifying a controversial election, though there is little evidence to back this. Questions have been raised about Bush's involvement in the notorious "Florida Felons List" affair in which primarily black and Democratic voters who were not in fact felons erroneously were listed as ineligible to vote. Bush ignored at least one direct warning from a state computer expert that the list was flawed and should not be used. [13] Questions were also raised about the conduct of the vote count itself, which was chaotic at best--- although it should be pointed out that there were Democrats who arguably contributed to the confusion as well

While your voting, ponder this from: homelandstupidity.us
Some of the worst news possible for the security of U.S. elections came a year ago, and somehow I missed it. In March 2005, Smartmatic, a company based in Venezuela, purchased Sequoia Voting Systems, a company which makes electronic voting equipment.
What's the big deal?
Sequoia's systems are just as insecure as Diebold's, with irregularities being reported this week in Pittsburgh and Chicago. And the parent company, Smartmatic, whose machines were used in Venezuela's 2004 recall election, still refuses to answer questions over the results of that election.

Jennifer and I got into a mock debate for the position of Dog Pound Chief.
Jim : Jennifer, my esteemed opponent has no experience with dogs. I have pictures of a dog walking her!
Jennifer: If I am elected, I will make sure the dogs aren't fed bad food
Jim: Jennifer is a dog. She wants to feed them her food.
Jennifer: I will make sure these dogs are treated humanely.
Jim: Jennifer wants to put innocent dogs in prison, with gang members.
Jennifer: I will act in both the dogs and your best interest
Jim: Thats the problem, she's not real. She's an actor.
Jennifer: I honestly love dogs. I'd never do anything to hurt them.
Jim: See, she admits never doing anything.
Jennifer: Vote for me on election day. I'll try to do what best for all of us.
Jim: Vote for Jim. The man of the people, for the people, by the people.
I'd vote for Jennifer. She actually said something.

I just helped Dustin with his math homework.
EG: Simplify this ratio 15 cats to 50 dogs.
       Answer: 3 cats to 10 dogs or 1 cat to 3.333_ dogs
       Dustins answer: 3 continous
EG: The temperature went up 7 degrees between 1990 and 1997.
       The temperature went up 6 degrees between 1997 and 2000.
       During which period did the temperature climb the fastest?
      Answer: 1997 to 2000
      Dustins answer: 7...between 1990 and 1997.
EG: A line goes from x,y coordinates (1,1) to (4,2) on a cartesian graph. Find the slop.
      The formula is Slope=m where m=(y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
      Answer: 1/3
      Dustins answer: 9
Matter of fact, out of 60 questions, he only got 1 right by accident.
He said it didn't matter. He'll still get a C.
First off, I'm wondering HOW?

For a long time, the FDA has wanted to ban Primatene mist because it uses chloroflourocarbons as a propellent.
They contend those little bottles are destroying the ozone layer.
I've read cows burping methane are destroying the ozone layer too. We still eat cows.
I went to Smith's Food King to by a Primatene Mist inhaler last night.
They told me it had been removed from the shelves.
During my next near fatal astma attack,
I must decide to die or lose everything I've got to medical professionals for what should be minor care. I don't know why professionals would put anybody in that position. I was able to purchase Primatene Tablets (which take longer to work), but I had to provide my drivers license which was keyed into Smiths database. Now my name exists on some lists that I don't want to be subscribed too.
According to what I've read, 3,000,000 people use Primatene to control their Asthma.
700,000 people use it because they have no health care. I would be one of those.
In effect, my last bottle of Albuterol, along with 5 antibiotics, and some steroids, cost me $700 with the doctor visit after all of the tests they seemed to need to confirm the obvious.
It was like a mechanic doing an alignment to fix a flat tire on an old car.
I suppose in a reach, the alignment could be the problem.
In the end, I called around. Primatene Mist is not banned yet.
Smith's Food King told me they had to remove it from the shelves.
Hopefully, the FDA will wait until another product hits the shelves before banning it.
For me, Primatene Mist is the only thing that controls my Asthma in Las Vegas.
Of course, I'm no doctor...I'm just a silly consumer who thinks Primatene helps.

You can easily find and order fake IDs on the internet.
So how do you detect them?
As a notary, you should be familiar with the most commonly used IDs. EG: Passports, State IDs.
But for out of state IDs, its advisable to call 800-USNotary.
The signature should be similar on the ID, document and notary journal.
Check for card wear, raised area around the photograph, smudges, erasures, styles of typewritten info.
If fraud is suspected and danger may be present, proceed with the notary, then call the police.
