Strippers rooting for Shockey

06:33 AM ET 02.04 | Who will win the Super Bowl? The ecdysiasts at Rick's Cabaret pick the Saints, maybe because they are partial to New Orleans tight end Jeremy Shockey, a regular on the strip club scene when he played for the Giants. "We're not allowed to talk about our celebrity customers," said busty Rick's girl, and NYU student, Cynthia. "But let's just say that we all know and love Jeremy." "Jeremy is my favorite athlete," said petite Alyssa.

Lost Season Premier First Hour Rewatch (Spoilers)

Here are my questions from the first hour of the season premier.  I will refer to the original time line as lost 1 and the alternate time line as lost 2

• After the plane did not crash, Jack goes into the bathroom.  He is bleeding on his neck,   Why?
  
• In Lost 2,  was Penny ever born?  Does Jack know Desmond from the Stadium or some sort of weird memory from Lost 1?
  
• Pretty Obvious that Hurley went to Australia become he owns Mister Cluck’s chicken and not to find the origin of the numbers.  Since the Island sunk,   that dude in Hurley’s mental institute never heard the numbers.  So Hurley won the lottery,  but with different numbers.  I wonder if Hurley got to hook up with Starla and if Trisha Tanka is dead in Lost 2?
  
• Did Locke go on the Walk About as as a Cripple.  That black dude told Locke to go on a Walk About.  Is he still alive in Lost 2?  Does the black guy work for jacob or the man in black?
  
• What is the stuff that protects you from the smoke monster?
  
• If the man in black is the smoke monster,  how could Ben control him?
  
• Did the man in black want jack and company to come back to the island?  It seems he orchestrated the whole thing.  Maybe Jacob knew the plan and got Hurley to bring the guitar case as a counter move against the man in black. 

Big Love

Love Big Love but can’t stand Bill.  Hope he goes down this season. 

Super Freakonomics

The book does a great job taking on Global Warming,  geo-engineering, and religion.  In 1991 Mt. Pinatubo erupted spewing tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere.  The end result was a partial cooling of the earth.  If the earth can cool itself down,  why can’t man recreate this effect and solve the “issue” of global warming?

Dump chemicals in the atmosphere?  It was a crazy hair-of-the-dog scheme that seemed to violate every tenet of environmentalism.  Those who saw global warming as a religious issue could hardly imagine a more grievous sacrilege.  P.216

 Budyko’s Blanket is a plan to do this.  Pump sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere at the poles to cool the earth down. 

So Budyko’s Blanket could effectively reverse global warming at a total cost of $250 million.  Compared with the 1.2 trillion that Nicholas Stern proposes spending each year to attack the problem, IV’s ideal is practically free.  It would cost $50 million less to stop global warming than what Al Gore’s foundation is paying to just increase the public awareness of global warming. 

P.216

Besides Global Warming the book takes on Prostitution,  (Casual Sex has killed the prostitutes wages.)  Suicide Bombing, Child Birth, and a lot of other topics.  A great read.

There and Back Again

Were back and the NFC Championship again.  This time, we don’t have to go up and play in 20 degree weather surrounded by hostile fans.  At home, in the dome.  Great things are going to happen to New Orleans regardless if we win or loss this game, but this will help the people of New Orleans feel just a little better.  Douglas Mccollam puts it into words much better then I could ever:  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748703514404574587904269570732.html

FitBit Update

 

How does the sleep tracking work and what will I learn?

It's important that you get a good night's sleep. Recent studies have shown that sleep quality is linked to overall wellness. Have you ever wondered why you still feel tired even though you think you've gotten a full 8 hours of sleep? The Fitbit Tracker will allow to "see" what your body is actually doing at night.

When you get into bed, you slide the Fitbit Tracker onto a wristband that is provided with the Tracker. As you fall in and out of sleep, the Fitbit tracks the movements that your body makes and can tell you how long it took you to fall asleep, how many times you woke up throughout the night and the actual time you were asleep vs the time you were in bed.

Does the Fitbit accurately track calories from cycling/biking?

The Fitbit is optimized for walking, running and general household/lifestyle activities and gives you a good general 24 hour picture of your day. It's not going to be that accurate for things like biking, but the website will allow you to manually log activities, so that an estimated calorie burn for your biking can be included in your daily totals. If you are only doing the biking for an hour or so a day, the Fitbit will give you a good overview of your activities for the other 23 hours. The Fitbit is really for people to get a general sense of their day and get motivation from improvements in their general day to day trends.

Jodix Free Ipod Converter

I have a lot of files in the avi format that I want to watch on my iphone and ipod touch.  Most of these are DVDs that I ripped to my computer.  I need to convert them to an ipod format like mp4.  I had purchased a Xilisoft product to do this but it had expired and was not that great.  Before buying the newest version,  I downloaded Jodix Free Ipod Converter.  Its perfect.  It keeps the audio and video together and takes up few system resources.  It is also free.
