 Chicken soup (Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT)
I will laugh in the face of winter storm Nemo as I make Grandma’s chicken soup.
I suppose there’s not all that much special about it. I peel the chewy strips off the celery,
but still, it’s just celery. It’s fun to think of Grandma, though.

Fracking (Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:00:00 GMT)
I used to be mildly against hydraulic fracturing. The continued exploitation of fossil
fuel resources distracts us from the development of cleaner or renewable energy sources. But, then
I moved from an all-electric house serviced by a cheap municipal energy provider to a house that
uses both electricity and natural gas, serviced by a commercial provider that charges a LOT more
for electricity. My new home’s summertime energy bills were three times my previous bills. Regardless
of how long New York’s fracking discussions have dragged on, does anyone really believe that fracking
will be outlawed in NYS forever? Opponents should be focusing on oversight rather than what I believe
will be a fruitless quest for outright bans.

Scandals (Sat, 21 Apr 2012 12:00:00 GMT)
Regarding that federal GSA conference in Las Vegas that cost taxpayers 800 thousand dollars
and cost some officials there jobs, it’s hard to even figure out why these conferences occur in
the first place. I am not a fan of comparing government management to business management, because they
really are different, but "team building" has to have its limits. The best we can now hope is
that extravagant managers lose their jobs and are forced to take middle class, paper pushing jobs
like the rest of the 99%.
As for the Secret Service mess in Cartagena, I have to believe that this is not an isolated incident.
Our agents apparently bop around from country to country, partying their brain cells into oblivion.
They got caught this time because one of them was too cheap to pay the hooker, and she made a stink.
Many federal workers travel frequently, and I don’t expect them to sit alone in their rooms when
they’re not working, but taxpayers should not have to pay for it.

Health care USA (Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT)
Health care needed to be reformed in the USA. We elected Barack Obama and a bunch of Democrats
in 2008. They reformed health care in the USA. So, what’s the problem? We should all be insured.
We should have a single-payer system, but if that’s not possible, an insurance requirement is necessary.
If you want to reduce the federal deficit, stop suing the government.

Important (Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT)
If anybody really cared what Rush Limbaugh thought, Barack Obama would not be the president.
Pro football players are paid to hurt each other; are we really just figuring this out?
Prescription birth control should be covered by insurance, but women won’t achieve fairness for themselves
by trying to pass revenge legislation that treats men less fairly. Iran had better hope that the USA
does not get out of Israel’s way. The Church of England should consecrate female bishops,
and the Episcopal Church USA should finalize an official same-sex marriage rite.
The software isn’t finished until the last user is dead.
Jesus used His gifts to do what He could; that’s what He asks of the rest of us.

The Future of Software Development (Mon, 4 Jul 2011 12:00:00 GMT)
I’ve been reading some blogs during my long, American holiday weekend, and wonder what I’ll
be doing as a professional software developer over the next several years. Certainly, it takes fewer
developers today to create and support a feature set than it did in the past, but users constantly
demand newer and better features, and there are simply more applications to write. I see articles about
how Facebook and YouTube started with very few developers, but at the start, they didn’t do that much,
and now those companies have many more employees of all sorts to support expanded features. Offshoring can
be disconcerting if you’re on the wrong shore, but I think we’re already seeing that each shore will
not undervalue its labor forever. There are pros and cons to working on distributed teams;
communication requires effort, especially when different cultures and languages are involved,
but it’s kind of cool to work from home. The other constant (in addition to demanding users)
is that we software developers must continually evolve our skillsets.

Done with MySpace (Fri, 24 Jun 2011 12:00:00 GMT)
I read an article that predicted the death of MySpace. I think it’s because it’s just
too painful to look at. There’s stuff laid out all over the place, and popups, etc.
I haven’t been using it, and I don’t need to visit yet another web site to promote pop music that
I don’t buy, so it’s not worth the effort to maintain my account.
UPDATE July 4: I see MySpace was purchased by investors including Justin Timberlake. This does not
change my perspective. Also, I have uploaded my live recordings, dated as they may be, to
my personal page.

I've been using Revelation for months now as well. 100% rdoemmcneable, I generate 15 digit passwords for every website I don't visit that often.I'm not sure whether OpenID would really solve the problem. I currently have, let me count , three OpenID provider. All of these required me to sign up for their services, and now I have three OpenID's I use for different things. How have things improved? I still have to remember different passwords.

Royal Wedding, Anglican Letdown (Sat, 18 Jun 2011 12:01:00 GMT)
At the royal wedding of William and Kate on April 29, 2011, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
welcomed the world to his "house", that most prominent Anglican venue known as the Westminster Abbey.
This was an opportunity to show off
Anglicanism,
the English ancestor of the American
Episcopal Church.
The spectacle left us wanting more of Harry and Pippa, but it was not a good day for the Church of England.
The archbishop’s unkempt hair and eyebrows were distracting, and one of the female
"chaplains" (nuns) sitting next to Will and Kate has been the object of
internet jokes about her Reeboks.
Although 65% of churchgoers and 40% of full time clergy in the Church of England are women,
Canon Jane Hedges was on the altar only briefly, with no active role. Even the choir was all male.
Historically, Western Christian Churches supported the abuses of colonialism.
The colonies are mostly independent now, but the indigenous people remain poor while Westerners get fat.
Maybe the couple and the hundreds of millions of viewers wanted a fairy tale, but so what?
It is not the Archbishop’s job to look pretty, but it is his job to promote social
justice in the name of Jesus Christ. Instead, he put trees inside the Abbey, the beautiful people oohed and
aahed, and an ugly world turned even though they pretended it had stopped.

Home page updates having an effect (Sat, 18 Jun 2011 12:00:00 GMT)
It’s hard to tell exactly, because the search engines show geographically optimized results according to
IP address, but it seems that the home page updates here have put us back into the top 10 when searching
for ’gocek’. The most beneficial change seems to have been reducing the link-to-content ratio, but you
can read Gary’s SEO tips (click the blog link and view the tech blog).

Episode 2 Ernest CobbIt's the 1960 s. We meet the evil warden of Alcatraz. A new psoirner, Cobb has arrived.Cobb is a supposedly a very good shot.Present-Day, we see Cobb walking through a park, laying out a picnic. Eating a sandwich. He removes a gun-sight from his bag and spies (and marks' targets) in a nearby area.Soto and Madsen are discussing Tommy Madsen, the man she recognized in the photo, who turns out to be her grandfather. Tommy murdered Madsen's partner in the Pilot episode.Back to Cobb, he has now fully assembled his gun and has shot an african american male, a male and female teenager. Soto explains it was Cobb his MO was that he shoots 3 people and then goes into hiding.Soto is visibly upset about the victims. Soto explains that Cobb used a Winchester Model 70 instead of a modern rifle. They deduce where Cobb made his shots from. Madsen finds a shell casing from the rifle.

Dan wins moot court competition (Sat, 9 Apr 2011 12:00:00 GMT)
Today at the University of Virginia School of Law in Charlottesville, Dan Gocek and his teammate
Chris Cariello won the 82nd annual William Minor Lile Moot Court Competition. The contest began
with preliminary sessions during the 2009-10 school year involving close to 200 law students.
The students wrote briefs and presented oral arguments until only two teams remained. In today’s final
session, Dan and Chris faced Lynzi Archibald and Matt Hanson. The teams argued their points in front of
federal judges who agreed to participate in the contest. Lynzi won best oralist.
The four students will graduate in May.
Previous winners include Ted Kennedy, that’s a 2004 photo of Dan looking at Senator Kennedy,
is that prescient or what?

Yet another home page update (Sat, 2 Apr 2011 12:00:00 GMT)
The link-to-content ratio was too high on the old home page, so I made some changes.
In other words, the old home page appeared spammy to indexing robots.
The blog content that includes this text hopefully resolves that.
I own com, net and org, but it is a constant battle to grab hits from the Gocek keyword.

that, allow me say to you what did give good results. The arclite (parts of it) is very convincing which is most likely the reason why I am making an effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, while I can see a leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am not certain of just how you seem to unite the details which in turn make the actual final result. For now I will, no doubt subscribe to your position however hope in the future you connect the dots much better.

Data is still inside the crseahd HDD and it just needs good skill to recover data as long as PC can recognize the crseahd disk.Connecting the crseahd disk to another PC with USB 2 cable and adapter or use external drive with crseahd HDD, then run recovery software to search and restore the lost data into PC storage. It takes about 10 hours per 80 GB.And dont forget to setup task schedule at least once a week to run backup with a small external HDD which can save a lot of time later.
