Wanted: Julian Assange

Interpol has issued an international warrant at the request of a Swedish court for the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in connection with alleged sex crimes.

The Stockholm Criminal Court last week issued an international arrest warrant for Assange on probable cause, saying he is suspected of rape, sexual molestation and illegal use of force. Sweden asked Interpol to post a "Red Notice" after a judge approved a motion to bring him into custody.

 

 

  International warrant for the arrest of Julian Assange has been issued by Interpol. 

Kate Smith

  I am going to be 70 in March.  I bet every old man my age did many of the same things I did when I was a kid.  I collected stamps when I was a kid.  Later in life I collected a few first day covers for stamps that were put out and that I loved.  I had the Harry S. Truman FDC and the one for Kansas City etc.
  A friend just sent me three gifts in a priority mail box.  He did not print out a shipping postage label he put real U.S. postage stamps on it.
  It has some great stamps on it.  One is for Gene Autry.  One brings back memories and it is for Kate Smith.
  Kate Smith had a television show.  It must have been on when I was in high school and I was in high school between 1955 and 1959.  I can remember coming in from school and turning on the TV set and Kate Smith would be on and singing “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain.”  I missed a lot of school.  When I would stay home from school I always felt better when her show came on because I felt like … OK school is over and the police are not going to come and arrest me for skipping school.  (They never did things like that but I felt guilty skipping school so felt better when her show came on because that was when I would have come home from school.)
 

  You have to remember that there may have only been two or three TV stations on the air at that time.  So I did not have a lot of choice as to what I could watch on TV.
 
  It is rare for me to mail something now days.  I miss postage stamps but I do not miss mailing things.  Someone needs to create some sort of email service that uses digital images like postage stamps.  A person could pick a “stamp” they wanted to appear or they could pick different choices depending on other factors.
  You know IncrediMail would be great for that.  In fact a person could do it just using that program.

3D Cameras for YouTube

  I see that YouTube supports 3D video.  They tell how to do 3D video.  I have never been a fan of 3D movies but I think 3D videos on YouTube would be interesting.  I would love to try it.
  YouTube has a help section and they talk about having two of the same sort of camera and then using those to make a 3D movie.  That seems to me a bit hard. 
 
  There is a Fuji 3D camera that will make 3D videos for YouTube.  It is the Fujifilm FinePix Read 3d W3 Camera. 

“The FinePix REAL 3D W3 steps it up from its predecessor with the ability to shoot high-resolution 3D photos and movies in 3D HD at 720p, with the help of a new RP (Real Photo) Processor. It also sports a new Mini HDMI port for easy playback on most 3D television systems and an Autostereoscopic 3D Widescreen 3.5" LCD. All components make for stunning 3D still photos and movies that can be viewed and enjoyed through an easy connection between the FinePix REAL 3D W3 and their 3D TV, or printed in stunning 3D quality.
Fujifilm's FinePix REAL 3D technology captures true 3D thanks to its use of twin 10 MegaPixel CCD sensors and dual FUJINON 3x optical zoom lenses (35-105mm) that are spaced 75 mm apart to create realistic images that are similar to how human eyes see them. The synchronized control of the twin CCD sensors releases the left and right shutters at the same time. This technology produces a synchronized image with a natural sense of depth, and allows easy capture of 3D movies and photos in HD, and also provides the beneficial unique 2D Advanced Shooting modes.
The FinePix REAL 3D W3 also comes equipped with a 3.5" high resolution Autostereoscopic 3D Widescreen LCD with 1150K resolution that displays high contrast images and movies that can be viewed in 3D without the need of 3D glasses. This new lenticular system uses rows of convex lenses that create a binocular parallax effect to produce a realistic 3D image with less cross-talk and flicker.
Features:
Exposure mode Programmed AE, Aperture Priority AE, Manual AutoFocus mode White balance Automatic scene recognition - Preset - Fine, Shade, Fluorescent light (Daylight), Fluorescent light (Warm white), Fluorescent light (Cool white), Incandescent light, Underwater lighting Flash modes Red-eye removal OFF - Auto, Forced Flash, Suppressed Flash, Slow Synchro. Red-eye removal ON - Red-eye Reduction Auto, Red-eye”

  I always like to read customer reviews on Amazon.  There are none yet for the camera.

  I did find some YouTube Video reviews of the camera.

Do not read the New York Times

  The New York Times is publishing the WikiLeaks.  They seem to think they have the right to publish stolen data.  I wonder if I can walk into the New York Times and steal a computer from them and then use it.  I am a “media outlet” so I have the right to receive stolen stuff and then use it.
  If a lot of stuff was stolen from the New York Times and they found out that I had it…I guess I could tell them that they should tell me what stuff they want back and why they think they should get it back.  Right?
 
  I do not understand how the “news media” can get away with publishing this sort of stuff.  They get to decide what is in the national interest of the United States?  They get to decide what puts lives in danger? 
  They have not been elected to any office.  I never voted for them.
 
  In the past when things like this come up .. It appears that the government will say the person that stole the information is subject to arrest and jail but once you hand over the stolen stuff to the media they can keep it and use it.
  Well I guess I should call myself a news media then.
  Because right now if someone steals a digital camera from someone and then they sell it to say John Smith.  Say it is a $1000.00 digital camera and someone steals it.  Then then turn around and sell it on eBay to Jim Howard for $500.00 for the camera.
  When the police find out it is stolen they come and take it away from Jim Howard.  He can say but I paid for it.  He can say I did not know it was stolen.  But it makes no difference.
  So let me get this right if Jim Howard says he is a news media he gets to keep the camera?  
  That is not the way it works.

  I know we are not going to do anything to the New York Times.
  But I think them publishing the WikiLeaks stuff is anti-American.  I think it is un-America.  I think they are doing harm to the United States of America. They put is all in danger.

  What people can do is do not read the New York Times.  Cancel your subscription. 
  If you are an advertiser do not advertise in the New York Times.

  I would love to see prosecutions of the New York Times people.  It is not going to happen but I would love to see it.  I would like to see them pay a price for their actions.

  I know that the information was also given to a few other newspapers in other nations.  I do not think there is anything we can do about that.. But the New York Times I would like to see us nail them to a wall.

Leslie Nielsen (actor) dead at age 84

“Leslie William Nielsen, OC (February 11, 1926 – November 28, 2010) was a Canadian actor and comedian. Although his acting career crosses a variety of genres in both television and films, Nielsen achieved his greatest successes in the comedy films Airplane! and The Naked Gun. His portrayal of serious characters seemingly oblivious to (and complicit in) their absurd surroundings gave him a reputation as a comedian.

Nielsen's lead roles in the films Forbidden Planet and The Poseidon Adventure came long before he considered a turn to comedy. His deadpan delivery as a doctor in 1980's Airplane! marked a turning point in Nielsen's career, one that would make him, in the words of film critic Roger Ebert, "the Olivier of spoofs." Nielsen appeared in over 100 films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying over 220 characters…”

“…In November 2010, Nielsen was admitted to a Fort Lauderdale, Florida hospital for pneumonia. On November 28, Doug Nielsen, Nielsen's nephew, announced to the CJOB radio station that Nielsen had died in his sleep around 5:30 p.m. EST, surrounded by family and friends. He stated "Today at 5:30, with his friends and his wife Barbaree by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away,". His nephew reflected on Nielsen's life, "He was truly a nice man. A very caring, naturally funny guy in day-to-day life, not just because someone wrote something on paper for him. He was a very tender-hearted man. He was one of my best friends and I loved him dearly. I'll miss him greatly…”  Wikipedia

 I am not sure I knew he was in “Forbidden Planet” (1956) he was so young in that movie.  I liked the movie “The Sheepman” (1958) and he played a bad man in that movie. I am like others and did not take notice of him until the 1980 movie “Airplane.”  RIP Leslie

Dancing naked in West TN school

  “Man caught on camera dancing naked in West TN school

By Janice Broach - bio | email

JACKSON, TN (WMC-TV) - A Mid-South man was arrested after police said he broke into a Jackson, Tennessee school and danced in the nude early Tuesday morning.
Lt. Tyreece Miller with the Jackson Police Department said Dakotah Lamuska broke a window at Northeast Middle School.  His nude dance was caught on surveillance camera.
"What it shows is a white man dancing in the nude," said Miller.
Miller said Lamuska started dancing for no apparent reason.  He did not take anything from the school or destroy anything other than the window.
Investigators said Lamuska left his ID and his pants inside the school.  Neighbors heard an alarm after Lamuska broke the window.
Police said they have no idea why someone would strip naked, break into a school and start dancing…”

  I do not know the details of this story.  I am not sure if the guy was drunk on TX moonshine or if he is crazy. But I like him.  I do not approve of breaking in or of breaking a window.
  But I think of this guy as a free spirit.   

  I do not know how to dance.  But I wish I had the balls to dance nude places that you would not be allowed to do it.  I think it would be neat to get into places and with no one around but with CCTV cameras going to dance nude.  You know dance nude in a church, in city hall, at a police station, airport, shopping mall and other places.  I think it would be neat to have on the news that they are looking for the nude dancing old man.
  I guess I should not have said anything here.  Now if some fat old bald man does something like that the police will do a search on Facebook and I will be the number one suspect.
  I also do not think the police have a sense of humor anymore.  Now they would charge me with making a terrorist attack. 
  Of course I would look like Elaine from Seinfeld dancing.

A look at the last week

  I made a couple of good videos for YouTube.  I have been getting very nice comments about my videos.  That is a surprise.  There are a lot of people that like to name call and just say bad things.  But I been getting some nice comments.  That is great.
  I think I am seeing a trend of making a few cents each day from my YouTube videos.  That is nice.  Right now I have earnings with YouTube of $62.66 but that is since May of this year!  Right now my goal is to make $3.00 a day. That would be a $100.00 a month. That would feed me well for two weeks. 

  Ken is going to be coming over on Sunday for turkey.  His mom is making a turkey. That will be nice.  It will be the five of us. 
  Russell has been going in at 0100 or 0300 hours or later in the morning. They have him coming in at all sort of odd hours.  He should be working only 20 hours a week but they work him extra all the time because he is a good worker.  But he is not making much money and he is often having to walk to work and sometimes home.  It is an hour walk.  A couple of times he has had a dog trying to attack him.  One tore his pants one morning. 
  He needs a better job but is is lucky to have a job right now.

  Jimmy loves his new Samsung Intercept.  But he has been playing one game on it for days.  He has not even turned on his desktop computer.  He just plays that game on the cell phone.  He uses his WiFi connection.  He says the battery last one hour playing the game! 
  I plan to get a Samsung Intercept when I can afford one.  It would be great it Virgin Mobile came out with a better phone for their service but I do not expect them to do so for a long time. So one of these days I will get the Samsung Intercept. 
 
  I been watching what I eat.  My feet have very little swelling now.
  It is still hard for me to get around because of the injury to my right foot. It hurt when I walk outside.  It take me forever to get anyplace as I limp down the sidewalk. 
 

  I went with the streaming only service of Netflix now.  No more DVDs for me.
  I also signed up for a Pro account with Hulu.  I am not sure why I did it.  I should just cancel Netflix, Hulu and other things and get cable TV.
 
  I use Skype for my home phone service.  I sometimes think about cancelling the service.  But I only have 300 minutes on my cell phone a month.  I use less than 30 minutes a month on the cell phone.
  I have Google Voice but I never use it and not sure what the heck to do with it.
  
  When I paid the cable Internet bill the other day, I use Charter, I saw that they list Ultra60 (up to 60 Mbps down).  I have the Plus service (16 Mbps down).  They have  Lite (1 Mbps), Express (8 Mbps), Plus (16 Mbps), Max (25 Mbps) and Ultra60 (60 Mbps).  I checked and they do not offer Ultra60 at this location.
  I am paying $44.00 a month right now for Plus service.  One of these days I will move up to the Max service.

An elbow to the face of President Obama and a cut lip

  I am tired of President Obama and his macho basketball playing.  I want a macho President Obama but I want one that uses that in dealing with the Republicans. 
  We never need a macho President when dealing with other nations like North Korea.  All of our Presidents have always been willing to use force and go to war with other nations.  We have a long long history of it. (Well except for President Carter.) 
  I want President Obama to be a man in dealing with the Republicans.  If it means that he is a one term President then so be it. 
  I don’t care if he runs around and plays basketball in his spare time. 
  I did object to President Eisenhower playing golf all the time.  My feeling was that President Eisenhower wasted eight year of United States power.  But looking back at Ike he was not such a bad President.  I think he was the last good Republican President.  (No, I am not a fan of President Reagan.)

I have been saying for a long long time that what we need to do is change it so that a United States President is elected for one six year term.  That way when someone is elected they have six years to do what they want and they do not have to worry about a second term because there would be no second term.  Do what you think is right because that is your only chance to get things done.  I think it would be great for the United States.

It was cold yesterday and it is colder today

  I had to get out and do a few things yesterday during the daytime.  It was cold and the wind was blowing here in Fort Worth.  After  I got home it was hours before my body was warm.  I guess that is old age. 
  My grandson had to go into work at 2 AM and it was 30 degrees.  He had to walk to work.  That is a one hour walk.  I am sure he was cold and I bet he is still cold at work.
 
  I never did like cold weather.  I feel it more now.  Like I said.. I guess it is old age.  I do not think the pacemaker has anything to do with it.  It could be that living in FL for six years also had something to do with it but I think it is just old age.
 
  I think if I was back in Missouri the winter weather would kill me for sure.
  I miss the Miami weather. 
  I sure do not want to have to move again… I hope my moving days are over.

Body Scanner Operator Caught Masturbating

“Airport officials at Denver International airport were on high alert yesterday when a full body scanner operator was caught masturbating in his booth as a team of High School netball players went through the scanner.
"The young ladies were going through the scanner one by one, and every time one went through, this guys face was getting redder and redder. His hand was moving and then he started sweating. He was then seen doing his 'O' face. That's when the security dragged him out of his booth and cuffed him. He had his pants round his ankles and everybody was really disgusted," Jeb Rather, a passenger on a flight to New York told CBS news…”  The Daily Squib

  I just made a video about airport screening and TSA security and it ran 30 minutes and then a few hours later I find the above news story.  Smile
  I just wonder why he was cuffed?  He was arrested?  I can see being fired but why was he arrested?  What crime did he commit?  Plus I sort of wonder how many men have masturbated at work.
  OK OK.. the guy was a total fucking jerk off for sure. 

  Update:  I been trying to find more information on this story and I am reading that source of the story “The Daily Squib” does fake stories. 

  OK the story is FAKE.
 

  I guess now we wait to see if Rush and the other right wing people spread this out like it is real.  He does that often on his show.  He will read something on the web and then broadcast it and talk about it.
  I should have know the story was fake.  To much detail.  Smile
