Walter Ivey on Can You Pass The Independence Test?

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 21:50:49 +0000

I feel ashamed of college students on the Jay Leno show who cannot identify politicians from photographs - or even name two of the four edifices that make up Mount Rushmore. But how well do you recall your knowledge from Civics classes? Here is a 30 question (Multiple Choice) test - 24 is passing. See how well you do. 96% of high school seniors failed, and of those over 50 years of age - only 50% passed. Click on the URL link below:

Walter Ivey on The Solution Is Right Under Our Noses

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:36:29 +0000

If you have yet to experience the hidden world of GoogleX2 – here is an exercise that you will find mind-bending. Log onto http://www.theplaceforitall.com/googlex2 and type in %jobs% (a Google Hacking operator). This search will bring up about 582,000,000 resulting hits. Make note of the URL down the opening page – http://www.usajobs.gov/ but for now, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the webpage where you can see a link titled Search within results – click the link to open a supplemental search dialog window. Type in Government and click the search button to open a new page revealing about 323,000,000 jobs in Government. Pick a job category (I am tracking jobs for analysts), and I can read the hand-writing on the wall that the better-paying Government jobs will become appointments as time wears on. You can use the Search within results feature to find anything that you can think of, and if you also have Google Chrome installed on your computer – you can trek anywhere in the world without leaving traces nor download any cookies to your hard drive.

Perhaps there are those in the forum who think that education (or lack of) is the real root cause of why good-paying jobs are plentiful and end up being filled by political appointments. Please post your ideas to this topic.

Walter Ivey on There's Magic If You Use GoogleX2

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 16:16:07 +0000

Try it yourself: http://www.theplaceforitall.com/googlex2 Click on the TV monitor to open Google Videos. The webpage is new but it works magic. Type in all but the last letter in Neil Diamon_ and click "Suggestions" to see about 14,800 hits. The very first result is a 3-part 28-minute Neil Diamond Concert in Great Britian. The three parts have URLs:

http://www.4shared.com/file/12.....part1.html

http://www.4shared.com/file/12.....part2.html

http://www.4shared.com/file/12.....part3.html

Read the License Agreement carefully - the part that tells you:

"You hereby grant Company permission to make changes to the Program, including after installation of the Program on your computer, to add/remove features and/or functions to the existing Program, or to install new applications or third party software to the Program on your computer, at any time, with or without Your prior knowledge, interaction or notice."

I copied the downloaded files to a removable USB pocket drive and ran the segments from the USB drive. Note that you are allowed to join the 4Shared website FREE - the name of the Company is NewIT Solutions. The segments ran directly from my USB port and then I deleted the files after I enjoyed the 28-minute presentation of ALL Neil Diamond hits.

If you find this enjoyable - drop me a line at walt.ivey@gmail.com and I will send you FREE copy of an important white paper on how to tell if someone is using your wireless bandwidth.

Walter Ivey on Do You Recall The 50's Hit Young Love By Sonny James

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:08:07 +0000

With all of the prominent Mississippi music makers, the song written by John Skye, pseud. of John Theodore Polansky, with music by Sonny James, pseud. of Sonny James Loden might have slipped through the cracks of time. But I can recall when Major John Theodore Polansky was the officer assigned as the head of Meridian's Salvation Army unit on "B" Street, and his son John was a Meridian High School Student.

If there are those of you who would like to close your eyes and imagine the Jukebox at the old down town Bowling Alley or the one at the Meridian Teenage Canteen - log onto http://sites.google.com/site/c.....ster-index and count down to the 20th offering "Our Times" and click the link "Jukebox" in the right-most column.

Walter Ivey on Google China (cn) Is Now Google Hong Kong (hk)

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 17:29:34 +0000

Due to government censorship Google has switched from Beijing computer servers to Hong Kong computer servers. It is not adviseable to surf the unknown waters of Hong Kong unless you have Google Chrome installed on your computer and only when you are using Chrome's Incognito (where you are safe from tracking cookies and phishing attempts to steal your identity). Windows 7 comes equipped with Google Chrome but you have to download and install the application on Windows Vista. Chome is a FREE download from http://www.google.com and you need a Google GMail Account to access it.

If you receive an e-mail about a 13-yearold girl named Ashley Flores being missing - delete the e-mail and do not forward it.

The message is a HOAX and has been circulated before with a younger girl's photograph.

Walter Ivey on Castleberry Hotdog Sauce Recall Gotcha

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:50:30 +0000

If you use Google to research the recall of Castleberry Hotdog Sauce in yesterday's Meridian Star - do not click on the Google results showing fska.com/epnts/st.php?castleberry-hotdog-sauce (there will be 2 or 3 results with this URL). There is a mouse-down that will activate the FakeAlert Trojan Horse which will alert you to all sorts of infections that are supposedly infecting your system. By all means (if you encounter the FakeAlert) DO NOT CLICK on the FREE SCAN offer and your system will not be infected. You should bring up the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del on Vista) and stop any process that you do not recognize (processes will have RUNNING notations).

Pate on Wrong again

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:33:04 +0000

A few months ago, I made a prediction that Israel would bomb Iran's nuclear sites by last December. I frankly don't know what the Israelis are waiting for. If they wait much longer to attack, Iran could very well retaliate with the nuclear weapons they say they don't have nor want.

Pate on Dogs are wonderful

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:18:23 +0000

Hybrid "designer" dogs are all the rage now. For example, if you cross a Labrador with a Poodle, you get a "Labradoodle."

If you cross a Taco dog with a weenie dog, you get a "Chiweenie."

Our dogs fight for us too.

Pate on Favorite firearms

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:36:27 +0000

The LeMat is one of those fascinating guns that excites the imagination. It held nine .42 caliber shots and also had a 16 gauge shotgun barrel. That made it the most powerful handgun of it's day.

It's heavy and not as well balanced as a Colt Navy, nor as easy to shoot quickly from the holster, but, it was a monster in a fight.
