2D-Play

They have a messload of games. The most recent one that has caught my attention is Crazy Chess. It isn't chess at all. The goal is to move your one knight across the board as quickly as possible to pick up coins, and other stuff. Meanwhile, pawns are moving toward the bottom of the screen. At the bottom are two castles. If eight pawns succeed in getting past the bottom, you lose. On each level there is a limit to the number of pawns moving. It does not help you play chess. It does help you to remember how to move a knight

Also neat about this game is that you can download this small game for free.

Thanks 2D-Play!

suspended

Now when I think of this term, several things come to mind.
In school, suspension meant, just that to extend out. There were in school suspension where you continued punishment in a room not in your regular classes and out of school, where most disruptive students really ached to be anyway.
Suspension, is in frozen in time or body.

I would like to think also; suspension being like a bridge, being held up by rope, wire, or cable. So in this sense, a suspended senetence could or in some cases should be 10 years suspended by the toes or the neck, or whatever.

In a recent case, a child molester got 40 years with 10 suspended, leaving 30 with possible half off for good behavior. I think it unlikely that upon completing 15 years in prison, he's going to be up and ready for the challenge of "impulse-free" living in society. Uh, no. How about suspended in a spinning ride, where the occupants are flung so hard with centrifical force that they are unable to move from the edge. I will agree to suspend you in a state of 365.25 days in spin 'n' puke with variable oscilation and indidual modulation, complete with 24 hour continuance regardless of weather. Now, to this I would agree. The man finsihes in 1 year after his 15 or so in the prison, without having to worry about probation. Of course, the "worry" then would be that he'd be a veritible mindless drone or vegetable, but I'm willing to live with that. A willless body isn't likely to commit more crimes.

If that seems like cruel and unusal punishment, then I suggest:
15 years mine disposal or
prompt execution or
parole upon reaching 76th birthday or
40 years (no early parole) hard labor such as 16-hour days of textile work or foundry work
how about trash and plastics sorting?

In the case mentioned, he plead guilty, he wasn't found guilty.

no thinking involved

Sheik Taj Aldin al-Hilali declared that women who don't wear burkas invite rape. That's an odd phrase coming from a Muslim who doesn't believe rape exists except for non-Muslims to engage in sex with Muslim women. Here too, the Westerners would be rapists, while the women would be whores. Therefore, easily fixed by a good ol' killing of everyone. He'll double up on bad statements by calling women "meat" and that the White House should be emptied. In retaliation to this outrage, the US did nothing. Huh! We didn't burn the man in effigy, nor start riots. Huh. Gosh! We're missing out!

I would speculate if this is, and I truly hope not, the taught concepts of more tradtioanl Arabic Muslims, then women should be afraid and that is a piss poor excuse -- slavery. I'm surrprised that they didn't take up the sub-Saharan African tradition of female genital mutilation. This practice is to "ensure monogomy" of the woman. The man, of course, has no such bounds. Some, not all, of these Muslim cultures in Northern Africa also have mentral huts, where bloody women go until they are no longer bleeding.

So, is this the standard? What I'd like to know is what is the standard? What group allows women to be, you know ... people? From the translations (Dead Sea Scrolls) and Qu'ran texts into English, it appears to be, well ... a religion where deviation is not tolerated and women don't have a real afterlife, per se. So ... again, I would like to know what the typical concepts, theories and practices are. What I see and get scare me.

How is a rapper being arrested news?

Rapper arrested fro drugs and illegal gun posession. How shocking! It's S Dogg. How shocking! Wait, no ... unremarkable. What would be remarkable, is if he served jail time.

scam scheme

Originally uploaded by MDH, II.

This picture looks very much like a pyramid, does it not? I got a do it yourself scam from a company that has the name of a fast car. I will not use the name of the car as someone might try to find the website. Anyway, I got this email with "go here". I knew it was bogus, but cleverly intersting for the foolish.

It used my name in print and in speech in this flash animation. The goal, get people to commit to $10 monthly charge for a doman name essentially. They didn't use that term for fear of someone finding out that you can get one for $10 a year. Anyway, $120 per year, plus pestering people you know to get on baord the BS train. I wonder how many people jumped in on this.

Really, once they put up this screen, any person could see -- pyramid. I had it playing in the background, then every now and then flipped to it. When I saw later the $10 monthly, I rewound the animation and saw this.

During the animation, the woman here sat in a chair during part of it. My question would be, why?

... in the window

I picked up my neice from school, she had a half day. She broght friends with her and I dropped them off at one of the girl's house. I pulled into the drive to see a little girl's face. She seemed happy to see guests -- moreover, knowing that her sister was home. I then saw the shape of a dog, another face. To my joy, I saw the dog barking, though I couldn't hear the noise and the girl approach the window.

The girl began scratching at the window as would a dog. The dog stayed back from the window. It was the funniest thing I'd seen in a long, long while. "How much is that doggie in the window?" The one with the curly blonde hair. It was very cute.

Secondhand Lions

It was a great movie! I was hesitant to believe so until i saw it. It reminded me much of Princess Bride with swashbuckling and boyish dreams and adventure. There was intrigue, doubt, relationship growths and fadings. It had implications, but no sex shown. Apart from the profanity, it could have been a kid's book. I'm glad that they didn't make Michael Cain's character the daring do-all with passion and power, but more as a reserved person.

There is nothing bad to say about this movie. It has re-watchability (credits to credits). I found it interesting that Robert Duvall was in a movie with Kyra Sedgwick.

The overall message was "true love". I shant give away more of the movie.
