![]() | Food stamps - whatever amount you get, you should be required to give 10% away within days of receiving it. Gives you a little skin in the game. I'd be willing to bump up their allotment by 5%, so it doesn't hurt 'too' much when they give back the 10% |

We keep avoiding the issue. A birth certificate doesn't prove anything and
only continues to confuse the general population. Please keep it simple. We
first must settle on something I learned very early in school. A natural born
citizen first requires both parents of a candidate to be US citizens. Either
that is accurate or it is not. If we can't agree on that basic premise, then
trying for the next test of also being born on US soil is irrelevant.
Hopefully test 3 and 4 of age and years living in the US are self
explanatory.... Let's get past defining Natural Born Citizen for the masses
first ... |
![]() | Here's a few pics of the boys at work. We have RW & AC, CP and our leader CC keeping the enterprise moving along ... |

![]() | We completed another major project this weekend. Again, months of planning and setup. Of all the things we've done this past year, and of all that remains, this was the most technical, and risky. We managed to migrate the load off of our 1w10 floor to a newer UPS. All completed by making use of our dual source PDUs and generators. No outage to the critical load. Nice work team ... Congratulations !!! NYC 1w10 UPS Migration - Feb. 2012 |

![]() | Feb. 2012 - I wrote this recently as it came to me recently |
Think of friendship as a spider web. In the beginning, it is complete, strong, fully anchored and unbreakable. As time goes on and the web is tested, challenged with stormy weather, or penetrated by passing objects, it begins to breakdown and weakens. The anchors are weakened and it ultimately fails. Spidey then needs to fix the weakened points or build a new web. A strong friendship will work with what exists and make stronger the connections that remain, and endure over time and keep the friendship intact and the web strong. Weaker friendships will allow the damage to completely undermine the integrity of the remaining bonds and the web fails.
Each member of the friendship is travelling along their individual life trajectory. Now is the time for friends to understand, allow for damage to occur, but to keep the remaining connection points strong, so they can endure time. Where you are on your trajectory defines how friends need to adjust, or what bridged connections the spider has to build to reinforce the web. Work with what you have and it will work out. Key is to remain committed to an enduring friendship and build a strong web.
