I know it's gonna be a while until we'll be forced to retire, but I like to check out my options years from now. Look at the rate of housing and energy cost these days, I believe it will be outragously expensive by the time we retire. I found an article about the retirement abroad...
I didn't watch the Bridgestone Invitational at all, just heard the news about the worst play ever of Tiger Woods. His energy is totally down just by looking at his face. I believe, until his marriage or family matter is totally settled, his games will never be any good regardless of how strong or how good he tells himself... "Tề gia, bình thiên hạ" = "you can't conquer anything until your family is at best".
It's not the money... It's the mind... It's not how good you are at the game... It's the mind.
I just have to link this article to my website to remind me where I'm at in the middle class of America. The government keeps creating new laws and requirements for companies to go "green" and "healthy foods" to make some special interests groups rich so the consumers pay the higher prices for everything while having hard time to find jobs or find lower paying jobs. My company has salaries frozen for 3 years now and I'm considered lucky and good to still have a job. Until we find people who actually care about America to run it, America will go down the drain. "Yes we can" drive the country to the ground if we just let the government dictate what we should have and shouldn't have due to a certain special interests groups. Who give a "shite" about solar panels to save a few bucks on energy while real people have no roofs over their heads and not too skinny people have to pay more for their tacos. Many roads have potholes big enough to ruins cars, unsafe to drive exist for many years. Kids have parents working so much that don't have time to be with them in...
All companies that have a niche in green energy would be supported by investors, Tesla (TSLA) is nothing different, it went out on IPO not too long ago, stock went up and down below the initial price. Since it does have guaranteed money ($500M) from the tax payers c/o Mr. President Obama guarantees like Solyndra (solar), it may be supported greatly. But the CEO cashed out $24M on the IPO date? Is this a hype or a real thing? Is $19/share today is a great deal. I found this article on the internet and it made me think twice about buying the stock, but I have never made any money in stocks, so it's OK for me to think more than twice... So if anyone who can opens a "Green theme" company building anything would get Tax Payer money c/o Mr. President? Do all rich democrats money are invested heavily in all these companies before Mr. Obama took office? Is there a theme here? What about "No Special Interests"? Did anyone really check if these "Green theme" companies are not really special interests groups?
I only watch golf tournaments Tiger Woods plays, I haven't watch any until the last 2 that he played and he both lost. I don't think he should play any more, he has unfinished business, his marriage, and golf is totally mental (beside fitness of course), he has no chance of winning.
1. If he can win, he will look bad because people think he has no remorse about his guilt of his affairs.
2. He would feel so bad of losing because he's greedy, ambitious and he wants to win because he has nothing else in life, no family, no love besides money.
3. In order for Tiger to ever think of winning again, he must settles his marriage business, either make a clean divorce or beg his wife to come back and be with him every time he plays. That may not ever be the case. Anyhow, his game is doomed until then.
If he keep playing so badly, no ones will watch him any more and he will be like OJ, forgotten with a bad mark forever. He must make a decision quickly, time will not heal what he did, only his actions will.
I love the Internet but they do come with chain letters, even from my friends & family. Sometimes I got some thing that actually nice and meaningful. I just got one from my old school buddy today. It's so nice that I had to put it up, to remind me to be grateful for what I have.

What's wrong with this guy? It's done, come out and list all the affairs publicly once and for all. It's over, why wait for ugly stuff slowly surfacing? There is nothing to work out, don't lie one after another. Married with no love, no respects for one another, there's nothing good to salvage. Let it go, have a nice and peaceful divorce, ruining 2 innocent little babies lives already. The parents screwed up, they deserved each others, but the kids, they didn't ask to be born. Bad Karma is created. He just better be a good father if he's still nice. Go and play with all these fame & money leeches. His level can only attract these girls. Education is important and he had none, it's not his fault, it's the family. Tiger Woods face is not a mean and ugly face, just lack of education and guidance. He will see and do what needs to be done correctly for his life and kids if he's still lucky. What a life!
It's Weds evening, my wife has to work late, we went out to eat with the kids. Normally, we go to Black Angus to have their prime rib specials with the mud pies which the kids love, we went to elephant bar near home instead. Watching the kids munching, enjoying their fish bate "calamari" and my wife dipping her french dip sandwich in the salty brown sauce for her simple dinner makes my heart sings. My wife never had any opinions about anything, but tonight she's started "what's up with 'you guys', beautiful wife and kids and still running around? ". I knew right then she's talking about Tiger Woods car accident and the affairs surfaced after that.
Many years ago, when Tiger Woods announced to get married to a white European model, I told my wife then, he's going to be another OJ . People get married for any reasons but true love.
I told my wife I actually felt sorry for the guy because he may be rich and famous, but he must not have a life. What? He's successful, he's rich, he got a beautiful wife, what are you talking about? NO life?
Wow. I got a late charge of $43. on a $351 purchase with Amazon and 2 weeks late. I normally paid everything online and use paperless delivery system. I bought this netbook from Amazon on Sept29, didn't get all deliveries until Oct 15th. I forgot totally about this purchase since I always pay online purchase the next day , but since I wasn't sure if I'm going to keep the netbook, I waited. Anyhow, I called Amazon Chase and asked for forgiveness, and the operator answer was "no way in hell" practically. I know all these banks are trying to get the money back from bad loans and stuff, and they try to stick it to good people who sometimes make mistake like me. Anyhow, I canceled the Chase credit card account, if you say "no way in hell" with me, then I'll never have to deal with you ever again. Every time we go to a website to buy something, they always offer a convenient credit card associated with the site. Don't apply, just use your own credit card, the one that knows you. They may not say "no way in hell" with you when you asked for forgiveness because they still want your business Alright, free shipping @ Amazon cost me...
In Circuit Test (ICT) programming is my profession. It's designed to catch electronic board manufacturing defects. It's been out for over 20 years and it's considered to be dinosaur in testing. We had our system in 2000, and it's been so reliable and produced 95% yields at our manufacturing CEMs. The product quality is only as good as its maker and it's true. There are many programmers out there for this systems, we can do a lot with this system, if one just want basic testing, then the yield will be low. If we use all the features and customize our tests, then the coverage will be high and the result will be rewarding. What I do for my company is to write customized functional tests, customized fixtures, which eliminates costly, slow board bench tests and produce high yields at box level. We used ICT to detect design flaws before it goes to production to prevent costly RMAs and reworks. Each board test should only take maximum of 2 minutes with full functional tests and ready for box build. This way we ensure the throughput and the end of a quarter when many boards built at the last minutes. The...
People always say live every day as your last day on earth, I don't know if I should go out every day and live crazily or just plain "what the hay" life. I think what they meant is to live passionately every day. I've been living very passionatly all my life. I'm considered to be lucky and I'm very grateful. It's so nice to be alive and well. Since ltooz is about fixing & and improving STUFF. This is Stuff by George Carlin, one of my favorite comedians.
