Donald Trump, The War & The Price of Oil

Today was a pretty sobering day for the economy and the reality of global life in 2008. Bailout bill was rejected, which I think was the right move, and, the market took a major hit of 778 points down. So, YOU can either end it all and throw in the towel, OR, YOU can look for a positive as The Donald has done.

Trump: Silver Lining is Declining Oil

Billionaire real estate developer Donald Trump is none too pleased with the markets, but he sees a silver lining.

Oil should be falling, Trump says, and falling fast.

“People aren’t talking about two very big issues, the war and the price of oil,” Trump told Fox Business News.

“If people knew how to speak to OPEC the proper way, the hard way, the tough way, oil would be down to $50 instead of $150,” Trump says.

There’s already far too much oil on the markets, and anybody in the oil business knows it. “They don’t know what to do with it,” Trump told Fox.

“If we got rid of this war, and we got oil down, this country would be unbelievable,” he said.

As for the $700 billion bailout, Trump is resigned that some kind of assistance for the banks will have to be arranged, calling the current market the “worst the country has seen since 1929.”

“It’s sad but it’s probably something that has to get done. The financial system is going to come to a halt. It’s a sad day for the country,” Trump said.

“Maybe things go to hell anyway. Nobody really knows what is going to happen.”

Hey, who am I to argue with Donald Trump? Besides, having met him in the late 80's in Atlantic City & Philly, I like and respect Donald and his philosophies on money and success. By the way, if the "bailout bill" would have passed today, the price of a barrel of oil would have gone straight up. Bank that!

What we are going through now is the same as running "disc cleanup and defrag" to get your hard drive operating the way it was intended. This is exactly what the economy and the government need. Both of them are severely "fragmented"!

Thank YOU Donald Trump,

Seminole HardRock Hotel & Casino Tampa(Review)

Yesterday, Saturday Sept. 20, 2008, my wife Mary and I decided to go to the Hardrock Casino in Tampa for a little action. Had not been over there since they added Vegas style slots etc. Though the economy is pretty much "in the tank" these days, there were still quite a few folks throwing the cash around in the casino. The place was not super crowded, but, there was a nice crowd throughout the casino floor.

Here are a couple observations I made while there for about 3 hours.

1) The nice new parking garage is great. No more riding around the open parking lot waiting for someone to come out of a space.

2) As we walked from the garage thru the temporary covered walkway to the lobby area, the closer we got to the lobby, the more it smelled like a huge ashtray. Yes, "smoking" is allowed on property AND in the casino. If YOU have a problem with second hand smoke and it's smell, YOU DO NOT want to be here.

3) The one thing I noticed once we hit the casino floor area, there is NO rhyme or reason to the layout of the slots. At least as best I can tell. After being in major mainline casinos in various places, there floor is a nightmare.

4) The one thing that blew me away the most though, is the slots themselves. Alot of the newer slots have these huge display screens with so much crap on them, you dont have a clue what is going on with the particular game. Alot of the newer stuff, YOU need a "users manual" to figure out what the deal is. Granted, there are still a bunch of the older slots that are pretty standard and quite simple to use and figure. The other thing with the slots is the denomination structure. They have tons of 2 cent, nickle, and 10 cent slots. People will see them and go, "hey, I can afford to play that". Uh, "no YOU can't". Most of these machines call for a minimum 10 or 20 line bet. YOU do the math. A minimum 20 line bet on a 10 cent machine is $2.00 a pull. Minimum 10 line bet on a nickle machine translates to .50 a spin/pull. YOU get my drift? THERE ARE NO 2 CENT, NICKLE, OR, 10 CENT MACHINES!

5) Ther are plenty of mostly friendly floor people to tend to your change or drink needs. The service is good.

All in all, we had a pretty good time and only lost less than $100 in an almost three hour run between us. Not bad for a fun break at a casino.http://www.seminolehardrocktampa.com/

Pink Floyd's Richard Wright Crosses Over

Floyd founder Wright dies at 65

Pink Floyd keyboard player and founder member Richard Wright has died, aged 65, from cancer.

Wright appeared on the group's first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, in 1967 alongside lead guitarist Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and Nick Mason.

Dave Gilmour joined the band at the start of 1968 while Barrett left the group shortly afterwards.

Gilmour said: "He was such a lovely, gentle, genuine man and will be missed terribly by so many who loved him."

Writing on his website, he added: "And that's a lot of people. Did he not get the loudest, longest round of applause at the end of every show in 2006?"

Wright's spokesman said in a statement: "The family of Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd, announce with great sadness that Richard died today after a short struggle with cancer.

"The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time."

He did not say what form of cancer the self-taught keyboard player and pianist had.

Live 8

Wright, a founder member of The Pink Floyd Sound - and other previous incarnations including Sigma 6 - met Waters and Mason at architecture school.

Wright rejoined Pink Floyd for the London Live 8 concert in 2005Pink Floyd achieved legendary status with albums including 1973's The Dark Side Of The Moon, which stayed in the US album chart for more than a decade.

Wright, known as Rick earlier in his career, wrote The Great Gig In The Sky and Us And Them from the album.

Waters left the band in 1981, performing his last concert at London's Earls Court.

Wright, together with Gilmour and Mason, continued to record and tour as Pink Floyd during the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s, releasing their last studio album - The Division Bell - in 1994.

In 2005, the full band reunited - for the first time in 24 years - for the Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park.

Wright also contributed vocals and keyboards to Gilmour's 2006 solo album On An Island, while performing with his touring band in shows in Europe and the US.

Today marks a really sad day for me. Though I know Richard is in a better place and now has the chance to regroup and move on to his next incarnation, him crossing over removes a significant piece of my all time favorite group. There will never be another group like Pink Floyd. In this life, or, any other.

Thank YOU much for the music and memories Richard Wright. Peace on your journey. For more on Richard, check out these sites David Gilmour The Voice and Guitar of Pink Floyd Official Site Pink Floyd

MYTH?

For those of YOU that are weary of all the "political" crap being thrown our way these days, I offer YOU this post. This stuff will either "opyn your mindz" or, make your head explode.

ORIGINS TO NEWTON - A BRIEF OUTLINE

Dr Robert A. Hatch - University of Florida

I. 'Pre-Scientific' Thought:

A. Frankfort's view of myth:

1. A subjective mode of explanation/description of Nature, based on an 'I-Thou' intimacy with Nature; hence, a highly individual approach to phenomena concentrating on specific aspects rather than general patterns.

a. This approach was decisively overturned by the Pre-Socratics who developed a supposedly objective 'I-It' relation with Nature.

B. Giorgio de Santillana's view of myth:

1. Many myths seem global in character, indicating that, in spite of vast geographical separation, various cultures were attempting to explain a 'shared experience'.

a. This shared experience was a comprehension of large cosmic events such as the precession of the equinoxes.

b. The capability of 'primitive' cultures to comprehend such events is indicated, if Gerald Hawkins is right, by Stonehenge.

Campaign 2012 "Palin vs Clinton"

"2012" Age Of Aquarius

While riding around today and having various conversations with a diverse group of people, the topic du jour was obviously the speech given by Sarah Palin at the Republican Convention last night. Alot of people seem to think that a "star has been born". I must say, "I was impressed". Not by any one particular thing, but, by her whole persona. The complete package. Granted, I still do not know all of her positions and stances. I am sure there are things that I would disagree with her position. However, I do believe, along with some of the people I talked to today(liberals and conservatives), that she could very well be the first woman president of the United States. Therefore, jump to 2012.

Regardless of the outcome of the 2008 elections, visualize this scenario which could very well play out despite '08's results.

President McCain decides not to run for a second term and his party makes Sarah Palin it's candidate. McCain and Palin lose in '08 and Palin is the choice of the Republicans to run in 2012.

Obama wins the '08 election but is a horrible president. The Dems make Hillary Clinton their candidate in 2012. Obama loses in '08 and the Dems chose Hillary to run in 2012.

Campaign 2012 is under way with Hillary Clinton running against Sarah Palin for the presidency. History in the making with a woman candidate from each major party. Women, and the rest of us, have a win win situation. What a perfect way to end the Mayan CalendarBobby Sharpe's "Techertainment": "2012" The Movie, "2012" The Prophecy and start the next twenty six thousand year Earth cycle.

"NEW" Web Browser From Google

Google launches internet browser

Google is launching an open source web browser to compete with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

The browser is designed to be lightweight and fast, and to cope with the next generation of web applications that rely on graphics and multimedia.

Called Chrome, it will launch as a beta for Windows machines in 100 countries, with Mac and Linux versions to come.

"We realised... we needed to completely rethink the browser," said Google's Sundar Pichai in a blog post.

The new browser will help Google take advantage of developments it is pushing online in rich web applications that are challenging traditional desktop programs.

Google has a suite of web apps, such as Documents, Picasa and Maps which offer functionality that is beginning to replace offline software.

"What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build," Mr Pichai, VP Product Management, wrote.

The launch of a beta version of Chrome on Tuesday will be Google's latest assault on Microsoft's dominance of the PC business. The firm's Internet Explorer program dominates the browser landscape, with 80% of the market.

Nothing like having more choices for browsing the net. Personally, they have to do an excellent job to get me off Firefox 3. I will try Chrome though. I do love Google.

The Internet Rules,
