-1 Star Review: Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

2009-07-19T07:50:00.000-07:00

I felt ripped off.

My wife asked me to go see it with her, and I reluctantly agreed. I've seen the other Harry Potter movies, and this one by far was the most disjointed. The movie was over 2 1/2 hours long, and still didn't tie up any loose ends. Some scenes in the movie were added for no reason, some were played out with no logical sense, and most scenes left you scratching your head. Like, what was that all about?

The only thing that this movie does is waste my time, waste my money, and drag the story on, and on, and on. I was at least expecting a little more action. However, the only action that they had in the movie didn't make any logical sense in the least.

What's up with all the love triangles? There were more angles to those triangles than you would see on a soap opera. He likes her, but she likes the other guy, but the other guy likes someone else, and every one of the main characters in the movie are so dense that they can't tell who likes whom. Even when Hermione is having an emotional breakdown, and she starts throwing items at Ron Weasley, which is just after Ron has been mulled by another infatuated girl, and Harry is at the same time comforting Hermione while she is throwing things at Ron; they all seem to be in some form of emotional trifecta dunce-ville.

Boring, boring, and boring.

Save your money.

Teenyboppers seem to love this movie. Maybe it's because of their love affair with the characters, and the junior-high mentality of both the target audience and the portrayal of the characters in the movie. On-the-other-hand, if you are over the age of adolescence, and looking for a place to go to sleep, then go see the movie, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.

Life After Steelers Win Super Bowl #6

2009-03-12T16:57:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I wrote something here, and the last I wrote was in regards to the Steelers. So, I thought it was only appropriate that I continue that thought and share what life is like after Super Bowl Win number six for the Steelers.

My sister sent me a Sports Illustrated Super Bowl XLIII Commemorative Issue featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers. I have to say, this is almost too precious a magazine to even fold back the pages to read. The entire magazine is 80 pages of everything Steelers and only Steelers. This is awesome! I know some of you are saying, "it's only a game," and "get over it," but I still remember the special moments in time.

OK, I'm one of those Pittsburgh fans that has lived in California for over 30 years. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, with the San Francisco 49ers, and the Oakland Raiders a short distance away. Each of these NFL teams has a wild and worthy history of their own. But like so many of the Pittsburgh Steelers' fans around the country and the world, I am one of those that has watched them since I was a very young lad, having grown up in Southwestern PA, in a home built by my Dad in a small rural community of Eldora, in Carroll Township, which is part of Washington County and on the outskirts of Donora Pennsylvania, where my Dad worked at the US Steel Mill factory for many years. Then as life would have it, I moved out to Silicon Valley, California, where it was the land of milk and honey for the electronics industry in the late 70s early 80s. But even though the roof over my head changed locations, and the weather turned mostly bright and sunny, my allegiance to the Pittsburgh Steelers never waned.

The truth is, life during and after the Steelers won their sixth Super Bowl has been one of remembrance. It is still amazing to play out in my mind the fantastic moments of the game. The ebb and flow of the Super Bowl 43 game reminds me of the ebb and flow of life in general. I know, analogies are so mundane, but it truly was that for me. I remember sitting on the edge of my seat, yelling at the TV, go go go... on the 101 yard interception and touchdown run by James Harrison.

It seemed to me, the whole play was happening in slow motion. I couldn't believe it, with no time remaining in the first half, of how that play might have changed the outcome of the whole game. But, there were other plays that were equally as momentous as that one. The pass by Ben Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes for the Game Winning Catch will be remembered for the toes down in the end zone and the outstretched arms reaching for the ball. Simply amazing of keeping your eye on the ball while keeping your toes on the ground.

You've got to tip your hat to Curt Warner and what the Arizona Cardinals receivers and players did to fight their way back into the game. This game was not a give-me game. It was a game that required a fight from the beginning to the end. In the end, this was just a game... But, as with any game, we can learn a lot about ourselves and our opponents. This holds true for sports, personal matters, and for business interests too. Keep your toes on the ground and reach for the sky. Focus on what needs to be done in your business today.

Life In The National Football League

2008-10-02T09:33:00.000-07:00

With Rashard Mendenhall and Kendall Simmons out for the year with injuries, Mike Tomlin, Head Coach of the Steelers stated, "We have some injuries that we need to deal with, that is part of football and we will (deal with it)," Tomlin said. "Our standard of expectation will not change. We have to go to Jacksonville on a short week, such is life in the National Football League."

Additionally Tomlin said, "Our competitors, it has been well documented, a lot of those guys have suffered devastating injuries, It is only devastating if you allow it to be. People are not concerned with our problems, they are probably happy that we have them. We will address them and get ready to play."

Here are a number of video tributes to Myron Cope

One of the last of the great sports characters, Mr. Cope's life and career were nothing less than book-worthy, even if he had to write it himself. Twice.

The Internet Merges With The Intranet

2008-01-04T23:28:00.000-08:00

Connectivity is Simply Amazing for Business Today

Projects abound this month with marketing, advertising, sales, branding, websites, fixing small business networks, new computer interfaces with old networked systems, Apple Mac hookups, Wireless laptops, networked printers, faxes, scanners, digital copiers, hardware, software, and a whole bunch of Internet technical terminology that is simply amazing.

The Internet has made learning super fast. If you need an answer for something, simply Google Search and low and behold; someone, somewhere, has written the answer to your question. Even if you don't get an exact answer to a specific question, the knowledge base for building upon a hypothesis is at your fingertips. People are becoming experts at quite a large number of higher learning areas by simply reading the information online.

Benjamin Franklin was known for his eclectic knowledge base, and studies, and scientific achievements that were simply incredible. I have come to the conclusion that good ole Ben Franklin loved learning. I can only imagine what he would have done with the Internet.

Today, there are billions of additional people in the world as compared to Benjamin Franklin's days. Is it any wonder that technology is changing so quickly? The Internet has opened up the Books for millions and millions of people that can simply type a search query into a PC, and low and behold out pops answers. People then build upon what others have done and take it to the next level in understanding and creativeness.

So, if you think the Internet doesn't affect you, you haven't opened your eyes. Think of yourself as a local Intranet (yourself and your family). As you learn information, you affect those around you on your own personal Internet (extended family, friends, workers, and acquaintances). Today, from a technology standpoint, Intranets for businesses are simply internal networks for all types of collaborative activities. In comparison; the Internet is the Wide Area Network, extended across the whole face of the earth. This is the World Wide Web.

If you look closely, both the Intranet and the Internet are merging into one. A large percentage of people that are online have more than one computer in their household today. Different family members, doing different online activities at the same time have made such a demand for building local area networks that are both wired and wireless, that you can go down to just about any type of consumer products store and buy a wireless router to fill the network needs.

Yes, the same technology that is used in a local area network, with a router hooking up computers together through IP addresses and domain names (network printers) is the same thing that happens on a larger scale across the whole World Wide Web.

So, once again, if you think the Internet doesn't affect you, you must be in a cave.

California Leads in Recycling

2007-12-27T00:19:00.000-08:00

Uploaded with Skitch!

Californians recycled more than 6.9 billion beverage containers in the first half of 2007, up nearly 800 million from the same period a year ago, the state's largest recycling-rate increase in the last 15 years, according to a recent study released by the state's Department of Conservation. And officials think they know why. Ref. LA Times

In January, the state increased the California Refund Value to a nickel for small beverage containers and a dime for large ones. The respective one- and two-cent hikes, they believe, may have changed a lot of perceptions.

"If you see four pennies on the ground and you're walking on the street, are you going to bother to pick them up?" asked Mark Murray, executive director for Californians Against Waste, a statewide environmental organization that focuses on recycling. "Whereas you see a nickel or dime on the ground, you're likely to pick that up. The same thing goes to just seeing that value in a can and thinking, 'I'm tossing a nickel in the trash.' "

Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception Steelers 1972

2007-12-24T21:51:00.000-08:00

Franco Harris’ “Immaculate Reception” is remembered as one of the most dramatic plays in Pittsburgh Steelers and NFL history. Franco made the legendary catch in the Steelers’ playoff game against the Oakland Raiders in 1972. This pivotal play set in motion forces that would lead to four Super Bowl wins in the 1970s alone: 1974, ‘75, ‘78 and ‘79.

Sports Museum

“It seems like yesterday,” Harris said.

“Joe always said, ‘Go to the ball. Go to the ball,’” Harris said. “One of the things I’ve always been proud of was I was going to the ball. Things happen when you keep hustling.”

“I have to admit,” Harris smiled, “every time I see it, it still sends chills down my spine. It has a life of its own.”

Remember The Simple Life?
By: James A. Warholic

Behind The Web

Imagine all the time saved by the powerful programs and computers. Now imagine all the lost time when those same programs or computer hardware stops functioning.

Just when you go to do something that you positively need to get done, a roadblock goes up.

Well, I needed to burn a CD slide show for my wife using Picasa from Google. First off, Picasa is a cool program for fixing, editing, cropping, finding, cataloging, and fine tuning all your digital pictures and photos. The program offers a cool feature of exporting a slide show by automatically burning a CD or DVD photo slideshow onto a disk. The slideshow plays automatically or can be advanced manually. Plus Picasa is Free.

Everything was going great. My wife, a teacher, had taken 160 pictures of her students in class. We fine tuned the pictures and cropped some into close-up shots of various students. Once we had the order arranged then we were going to export it out to a photo slideshow CD. This is where the problem started.

The computer would not recognize the CD/DVD Read Write drive. It would only function as a Read drive and the Write section was not functioning. Tried various CD writing programs and they all responded the same way. It appeared as though the CD/DVD drive was the culprit. I remembered that we had an old computer with a read/write CD drive. Popped out the drive from the old computer and installed it into the newer computer. Sure enough, the operating system found the drive and everything worked just fine.

So, a half hour job became a two hour job; including all the troubleshooting that had taken place. While I have the experience with electronics and computer troubleshooting; most people do not. As our world has gotten more technical, and devices have included more electronics, and computers have more programs that share resources with one another, any small glitch can cause a major hiccup in our daily lives.

Maybe it was a more simple life before we had all this stuff in our life and times.

Notice: Hosting Account Exceeds Plan Limitations - Please Upgrade

2006-05-28T12:32:00.000-07:00

Talk about a rude morning e mail to wake up to:

"Notice: Hosting Account Exceeds Plan Limitations - Please Upgrade"

I just went to the computer to check my email and that message above hit me in the face. I am saying no way to myself! We have several servers with 10 GB of storage on one of the servers and various websites take up a total storage of 188.1 MB on this one. So I place a phone call to the hosting provider and tell them the same thing. Now, I am getting a little ticked off to say the least because the auto generated email is telling me to upgrade my storage.

After telling the service provider my story I start checking out the various email accounts; thinking an email account is filling up the entire storage capacity. Nope - it was not. The provider wanted to send me up to the next level of service, which would have been a charge to my account because we are running a virtual dedicate server for the account. When this was mentioned about the additional sevice charge, you can image it did not sit well with me. However, the manager was helpful on the other end after I pushed a little further to tell them that I was a long time customer and informed this person on the same story I had previously stated. She mentioned that the control panel does show the total disk usage with the virtual server but doesn't break it out. I was over capacity. I would need to check directory by directory, databases, logfiles, and other various programs running on the server.

Well, when she mentioned "logfiles" that started me thinking that maybe the log files have been accumulating. Sure enough, one of the log files amounted to nearly 3 GB worth of information. Needless to say, it was time to do some log file maintenance.

I realized that when we first set the server up, we started the log files and they just kept collecting and collecting over the past year or so.

So much for my relaxing Sunday morning.

The Crazy Horse Saloon

2006-05-21T00:53:00.000-07:00

Posting from Chico, CA Graduation Night Saturday Night / Sunday Morning 5/21/2006

Well, our daughter and several of her friends managed to get us and another couple (parents of a friend also graduating) to the Crazy Horse Saloon in Chico. She wanted to buy us some drinks for a celebration of her graduating with a Degree in Business Marketing from CSU, Chico State University. Quite a mixture of mostly Country with some Rock n Role.

She needed to borrow some money from us in order to do this. It really is the thought that counts...

We spent the day going to the three hour graduation ceremony from 8:00 am till 11:00 am. Then a late breakfast brunch at Nash's Restaurant. Then with her friend and the friend's parents over for some shopping at the local Costco for some party food for Sunday.

Chico State University has such a large graduating class that they have to do graduation over a two day period. Half of the schools' graduates go on Saturday, the other half on Sunday. Different majors on each day.

Need to get some shut eye.

Yee Ha!

News I Wish I Could Comment

2006-05-12T14:32:00.000-07:00

Nationally Syndicated Columnists write excellent articles at various online news outlets but many of these news websites do not provide a means for comments from their readers.

With the blogging softwares that are available, there is no reason for major websites not to include the ability for readers to provide their thoughts online. Granted, with the amount of spam online it certainly creates an opportunity for the spammers to take advantage of the situation. However, there can be controls that could very easily be implemented to provide this valuable service for readers of the online publications.

Each columnist could be given control over his/her area for monitoring the comments. There would be the added benefit of feedback to the writer for the current story; as well as any future ideas that might come out of the comments. Readership would increase , because readers would want to see what others thought of the story, plus those that do leave a comment are more likely to return in the future. With email notification, comments could be monitored before they are placed on the site. Or the comments could be posted to begin with and if it was truly someone taking advantage of the situation to be off topic, the comment could be deleted.

Actually, any news article, whether the article is written by a reporter or columnist could provide this outlet for their readers. Yes, it is true that most people will not place a comment, but for those that want to become more interactive on the Internet, by providing their thoughts and ideas this would be an excellent opportunity online.

News organizations could help brand themselves by providing this form of media outlet. I think a lot of news websites are living in the pre Internet days; when they had newspaper subscriptions that were going up and up. Now however, newspapers are loosing subscriptions like a bucket with a hole in the bottom. People are letting their subscriptions lapse and instead are getting their news online. Even the local news can be found simply by targeting a Google News local news search for the various keywords. Email alerts can be set up using Google Alerts. With this service, news can be delivered daily to your email box.

So, National, International, Local, and Global News organizations better think quickly and provide a means for comments on their websites. With the Internet, the jump from one Brand to another is simply a click away.

Bottled Water - Is It Safe?

2006-02-24T07:45:00.000-08:00

How Safe is the Water We Drink From The Tap vs. Bottled Water?

An interesting article from www.emagazine.com suggests that bottled water is not necessarily better for you or the environment.

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE: - Despite the Hype, Bottled Water is Neither CLEANER nor GREENER Than Tap Water

The message is clear: Bottled water is "good" water, as opposed to that nasty, unsafe stuff that comes out of the tap. But in most cases tap water adheres to stricter purity standards than bottled water, whose source—far from a mountain spring—can be wells underneath industrial facilities. Indeed, 40 percent of bottled water began life as, well, tap water.

Steelers Got One For The Thumb

2006-02-06T14:39:00.000-08:00

Pittsburgh on the day the Steelers won the Super Bowl XL Championship

Being in Pittsbsurgh last night was almost as good as being at the game! The city is Alive!

At the end of the game I opened my door and listened to the ROAR! There were fireworks going off from every direction. People were pouring out of their houses (even though the wind chill was 13). Everyone was singing Steeler songs and waving their Terrible Towels. The entire Gateway Clipper Fleet were blowing their boat whistles . The trains were blowing their whistles all the way through town; not just at the crossings.

After speaking with my kids and brothers on the phone, I just could not resist so I put on my long underwear and hiking boots and ventured out on the treacherously icy roads to trek on down to Carson Street, carrying and waving my Terrible Towel. Each time a car went past, if you wave the towel, they'd blow their horn.

STEELERS 21, SEAHAWKS 10

Super Bowl victory parade Tuesday
A victory parade Tuesday for the Steelers will start at Mellon Arena at 11 a.m.

It was an adrenalin filled trip (due to the icy streets and fear of falling and the thrill of winning). People were everywhere with HUGE smiles on their faces, sliding down the hill on the newly fallen snow. It had been raining off and on the whole day so there was ice under the snow. As I walked down the 15th Street Steps, the roar increased.

People were hugging and smiling at strangers everywhere.

Some of the kids (oops, younger-than-me generation) were so excited they were turning cartwheels and carrying each other around on their shoulders. Shouts of Steelers were everywhere. As I joined the throng parading up and down Carson Street, people were so joy filled they were "high fiving" each other (and me) as we passed. It was a rolling river of joy. Everyone was happy, except for the police. They were clad in riot gear and stationed shoulder to shoulder across S. 18th Street, "just in case", they said. There were four mounted on horseback, all with their riot gear (both body and face shields) in place. They were not needed here. The morning news said that in all of the city there were only eight arrests. I did hear that in Oakland there was a car overturned and a couch set on fire (that person must have been from W. Va. Univ. :-); they do that there).

There is Black and Gold everywhere... in every store window, house window, and on nearly every person. I took my digital camera along to take photos but had forgotten to check the batteries. Got only two shots before it went dead. Oh, well.

The experience was what I was there for!

We did it. We got our "one for the thumb".

Great Game For the Steelers

Taking care of business: One, Two, Three.

The Steelers have gone through the top three seeded teams.

On to Detroit for the Big One, Super Bowl 40, Steelers vs. Seahawks.

Congratulations also to the Seattle Seahawks for making it to the Super Special event. With both Pittsburgh and Seattle with similar scores in their playoff wins it should make for a great game.

See the FOX Sports story: Steelers-Seahawks should really be Super

Now with a couple weeks worth of rest, both teams will surely be studing each other for the big event. Jeorme Bettis will be going back to his hometown of Detroit to play in front of what will most likely be a Steelers crowd.

Steeler Fans Showing Support

Steelers' Fans Showing Support

Ben Roethlisberger has the Steelers one game away from a return to the Super Bowl. (Darron Cummings / Associated Press)

My, what a change from last week to this week in the news reporting of the Steelers. Seems as though the Steelers have earned some respect with the news media. See the Fox Sports story, Steelers, Seahawks the picks for Sunday "Joey Porter is on a roll."

What is it about the Steelers that you can seem to find fans everywhere?

Does it come from the heart of Pittsburgh with the hard working people of Southwestern Pennsylvania? Is it the background that people around the country can relate to? Is it those cold winter days in past years where the Three Rivers have been frozen over that invoke such a fond reverence for such a hard working team? Is it the close community of friendly people that would stop on the street and reminisce with a stranger about the Terry Brandshaw era and the Steel Curtain and then talk about the new era with "Big Ben" and "The Bus," as Ben Roethlisberger and Jerome Bettis are affectionately called?

Fans everywhere are showing their support. From Pennsylvania to California, from New York to Florida, to the heartland of America, and to all corners of the world, fans are gearing up for the game. From the guy on the street of San Jose, that has a Steeler hat on and the conversation simply begins with, "It's going to be a great game to watch with the Steelers and the Broncos going at it."

Make no mistake about it, fans know that it is going to be a tough game. The Broncos certainly have their home field advantage and the mile high stadium, but these two teams have been equalized by the fact that they have not played each other this season. I am sure the homework has been done by both teams looking for the weaknesses of one another, analyzing the quarterback and key players, looking at what plays have been called in certain situations; but it still comes down to game time. Which ever team executes better with the least mistakes will win. I just hope that is the Steelers.

Minutes later, with the Penguins playing out the fading minutes of a loss, the dwindling crowd chanted, "Here we go Steelers, here we go."

In any other city, hearing a football fight chant at a hockey game might seem strange. Not hearing it in Pittsburgh would be bizarre.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger celebrates after the Steelers beat the Indianapolis Colts 21-18 in their NFL divisional playoff football game at Indianapolis.

Ben Roethlisberger not only had to have his "A" game but he probably saved what would have been a winning touchdown by the Colts when Jerome Bettis fumbled on the 2 yardline. See the rest of the story at:

Pittsburgh Steelers Vs. Indianapolis Colts

Game Time Just 6 or 7 Hours Away

Here is something not heard much out here on the west coast but it will be interesting to see how the Steelers handle Peyton Manning when he goes into his directing traffic before the ball is snapped. Hopefully the Steelers can ignore all the sign language, the pointing, the misdirection and what ever else is shouted at the line-of-scimmage to try and confuse the defense.

Ben Roethlisberger certainly will have to have his "A" game. If he stays calm and picks away at the Colts defense I think it will be a much closer game than what the sports writers and oddsmakers are saying. Get up-to-the minute Steelers news reports directly to your email box or go online.
