USA TODAY
 
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday ruled out a vote on new offshore oil drilling even as Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said he might be open to a compromise that included it.

 

The scramble over expanded drilling off America's coasts — ammunition for a weekend of rat-a-tat-tat by the presidential campaigns — underscores the political power of $4-a-gallon gas. Though President Bush and other backers of new drilling acknowledge it wouldn't directly affect gas prices for years, they have pounded Democrats for opposing the measure, which is now supported by most Americans.

can not work in a ENERGY INDENPENDENT AMERICA they have spent 30 years putting this time in history together and the last thing they need is 20,000 union pipefitters, construction workers,road builders,tunnel rats,electricans,steel workers,bridge builders,engineers,office staff,labours,building a 50 year supply of 

                         energy into the heart of this great country,

“an e-mail from Ireland”    

An email from Ireland to all of their brethren in the States...a point to  

                    ponder despite your political affiliation:

'We, in Ireland , can't figure out why you people are even bothering to  

                               hold an election in the United States .

On one side, you had a pants wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can't seem to keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer, who goes to the wrong church, who is married to yet another lawyer, who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run !

Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship !!

What in God's name are ya lads thinkin over in the   colonies !

 


 

 

It's all about me lambchops

they were like a little treat i looked forward to once a week,garnish with a little salt and pepper a few shakes of parsley slowly fried, a few small potato's with a slab of Irish butter on top,but about a year ago it all started to change,
 
$6.99 a lb was the price a week later they went to $7.99, 2 weeks later $8.99, 2 months later $10.99 at that stage i went to tom the supermarket manager and ask why,oil he says,oil i say,so i thought about it oil keeps going up which pushes up  transport,refrigeration cost,feed for the lambs,as oil hit$130.00 lamb chops hit $12.99 oil hit $150.00 lamb chops hit $15.99 at that point i removed lamb chops from my menu,but the part that confused me was why do the democrats not want to drill for oil,they are the poor ones and they are been hurt more than me self and Joe the plumber,
 
but when i asked democrats why, they could not answer me,i really don't think democrats give a dam about global warming when they cant feed there own kids,so i look more into it and what i found is,its not the democrats its the liberal left wing who have taken over the peoples democratic party ( palossi Kerry gore Reid) that wont let this happen,
 
then like a breath of fresh air in a stinking world john McCain introduced us to a beautiful family from Alaska,Sarah says we got plenty of oil in the North slope and my husband is a union pipe fitter,wow i say to me self a ENERGY INDEPENDENT AMERICA how amazing would that be,we gave $800 billion away this year to country's that hate us
 
but then it started in Hollywood, CNN, msnbc, ABC, CBS, new york times,the left coast 80% of the media that has control over america,(thank god for www.foxnews.com) they went to alaska and tried to bribe people to make up stories about this wonderful family,they broke into her email account but found nothing,they did everything in there power to distroy her,and in the end they made a porno about her,as i write this i feel my blood boil,
 
but to cut a long story short let me explain why,i spent 24 of my 45 years on this planet living in socialest europe i ran away from it and did not return for 8 years i finaly found FREEDOM in AMERICA but now i feel the beast has caught up with me,what we are wittnesing is history in the making,ye see for socialism to work the last thing they need is a energy indenpendent america thats why they will never drillbabydrill i have added a link below to a interview with a very well known KGB agent who excaped russia in 1970 the interview is from 1985 it explains how it all works if you would like more info go to www.jackleone.com you will learn alot,at this stage nothing can stop what is about to happin but the good news is i know americans and when they see what is coming they will stop it but there are many dark days ahead,i wish each and everyone of you the best, its way bigger that you or me and can not be stopped at the moment in time,
 
i finish up this chat about my lambchops with a headline from the ankorage post last friday,this past winter the glaycers of alaska had the highest grouth then what they have had in the past 10 years i have been to the arctic twice and heading back in december by way of greenland dont believe the hype the polar bears are doing just fine  
 
                                             thanks for trying

12/3/07 - Return to the Arctic

A amazing mystical place,fire and ice at its wildest,from the cold  of the arctic circle to the warmness of the people,from the Glaser's to the volcano's this truly is a island being born before our very eyes,a self sustained world onto its self,from the geothermal heating to the steam powered generators to the hydrogen fueled cars to the waters around the island jumping with fish,

i have enjoyed every bit of this adventure and i know i will be back here again soon,there is so much i have seen, but still so much to be seen,this is also known as the land of the midnight sun,there is alot more to do in the summer time,the Icelandic people are the friendlest i have ever met,from the hot stews i had in the harbor cafes filled with fishermen,to the great bars of Reykjavik where we sang songs in front of roaring fires and told story's of our travels and gave tips of things to do,i got two nights of dancing with the norther lights and let me tell you everybody dances,last night i had the honor of joining the towns people in the square where the mayor lit the Christmas tree a present from the people of Norway to the people of Iceland,we drank some hot drink i have no idea what it was, we sang Christmas songs and it was a great moment,

so as i sit in the Internet cafe waiting for the fly bus to go 70km to the airport onto Icelandair to Boston quick jump from terminal e, to terminal c, on to jet blue to JFK, and into a cab to my front door,i smile to myself ,mission complete and all is good,to the people of Iceland i thank you for allowing me onto your island i wont soon forget this time and look forward to returning for the midnight sun,

                and a very happy Christmas and peaceful new year

                                   to everybody,

                               photoshow will be on line tonight

 


 

12/1/07 - Return to the Arctic

what a amazing adventure,it was a wild ride once we left the fjord out into the open ocean,believe me i was asking myself why am i here, i could be at home on me couch watching all this on the HDTV flat screen on discovery channel,

there was no fanfare no balloons no fireworks,it was just the harbor lights that i saw in the distance that i knew i had crossed the arctic circle,i got of the boat in total darkness as it is 22 hours a day up here, not knowing what way to go i decided to stick close to the harbor where there was a fishing trawler giving of light, my heart stopped watching the very lifeline that brought me here pulling away,but i knew it would return the next day,i found a fisher mans hut to get in out of the cold and boy was it cold,not long after arriving a blizzard moved in,i put on every bit of clothing i had and ventured out feeling more relaxed,as the hours ticked away i figured there would be no show of the norther lights due to heavy cloud coverage,i must have fallen asleep for a few hours for when i woke i looked out the snow had stopped and of in the distance i could see green colors dancing in the sky,to far to photograph but close enough to say wow,a few hours later i heard the horn of the ferry returning,i ran back down to the ramp and jumped back on board,laughing to me self all the way back to mainland.

i found a big bus in town heading south to Reykjavik jumped on board 6 hours later I'm here tell you the story,tonight I'm going back out on a guided tour and hopefully will get a good show,i hear you all asking for photos and they are coming soon just let me keep shooting the moments and Anthony is going to do his magic a put a good photo show together,as for now i need to get in a shower and grab a few hours sleep before heading out again,so give me time and i will give you a great show,thanks for all you emails.


                     yo Samantha i did it again
 

 


11/30/07 - Return to the Arctic

Well the moment has arrived ,i just got back from the harbor and let me tell ye its blowing prity wild out there,the ferry leaves in 30Min's so its time to leave you all behind and go capture this moment,thanks for all you emails and support along the way it has been very entertaining but where I'm going there is no technology,so with out further adu I'm of to bring to you ,the arctic.
 
                             HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO DREAM DREAMS
      AND ARE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE TO MAKE THEM COME THROUGH

 

11/29/07 - Return to the Arctic

Greetings from the top of the world,well i got to say I'm feeling the pain the body has aged since my last adventure to this part of the world,i arrived in Iceland around 6am jumped the bus to downtown Reykjavik to connect north,well to my shock and awe the bus taking me north was a minivan and it was full,we took of and i felt a fierce disappointment thinking i have to sit on this thing 10 hours with only one stop along the way and no smoking,so in my true fashion and new york attitude 30 mile out side Reykjavik i told the driver to pull over i have had enough,so on the side of the road i was left me self me backpack and a cigarette in me mouth,i crossed the road stuck out me thumb and with in minutes i was riding in the back of a Mercedes taxi,to the airport i said to the driver with a big smile on me face,
 
so we arrived at Reykjavik domestic airport no bigger than my apartment with a road for a runway,this is what I'm talking about i said to me self,and there waiting behind the desk of www.airiceland.com is a beautiful blond with smiling eyes,do you having anything going north to http://www.akureyri.is/english i says,yah she says it leaves in 10 minots,so on-board on got 1 hour later I'm walking in the door of my hotel www.keahotels.is  ,so tomorrow morning its up early over to darvac to catch the ice breaker out to the arctic,for now I'm heading into the bar in the hotel where i see a big sign for Guinness,all is good and the beat goes on.
 
to my wonderful daughter Samantha back in the Colorado Rockies who worries about me so much,stop worrying honey i got this one xox.
 

 


 

11/28/07 - Return to the Arctic

FROM THE OTHER SIDE
 
Why you ask,well if you have ever danced under the norther lights you would understand why,and i have that was on the other side of the world when i went up to the north pole by way of Alaska,this time I'm going via Iceland,so heres the plan,
 
hop the subway to JFK airport,onto www.jetblue.com for a quick trip north to Boston,arrive at 6pm,2 hour layover and its www.icelandair.com to Reykjavik the capital of Iceland,arrive 6am local time,jump in a cab to the downtown bus depot,depart 8.30am for a 10hour ride north to the top of Iceland,get to hotel around 10pm,get up at 4am for a 8mile walk to dalvac for 8.30 am departure on a ice breaker for a 5hour trip across the arctic ocean to a little island called gremsley,overnight solo on the island dance with the norther lights pick up my certificate back to the harbor get a ride back to the main land and back down to Reykjavik for 2 days of rest,so with the gps laptop cellphone ski suit backpack ready,its time to go capture this moment,i have Anthony taking care of updating photo show in new york,i have Samantha keeping me updated with weather reports and its away i go.

SADNESS

 
for the family's who walk the ramp to the pit for the last time,over 900 bodies have never been found, the pit is there grave,this was there final goo

ANGER 

 
against the lowest forms of life that would bring there hatred and politics to such a sacred place on such a sacred day and the organizations and high profile names not worth mentioning and the media that would give them airtime.
 
                                               

HAPPINESS

The diamond of the Caribbean

old San Juan
i had heard about it over the years and always wanted to see it,so i says to me self if ya don't just pack your backpack and go you will never get there.so it was on to www.jetblue.com and let the adventure begin,
 
I checked into the www.sheratonoldsanjuan.com a great hotel with casino 4 star restaurant,swimming pool and hot tub on the roof,i went walking the beautiful little streets full of restaurants and shops and close to where the ships pull in,there is a beautiful castle with the walls surrounding the old village one could nearly say its perfect for romance,but i did not come here for romance, i was studying the amazing electrical infrastructure,they put everything on the rooftops,see photos,
 
so it was back to the hotel onto the laptop where i found www.capeair.com to get my arse to the southern coast to see the rain forest,my plan was to walk in look around listen to the guide,yea right,i get to the airport and there it is a 6 seater and a pilot,a solder who was drinking Guinness in Shannon Ireland the day before and fighting for freedom in down town Baghdad the day before that,after a word in the pilots ear and a fifty in his pocket i got the best view of the rain forest from 2000ft,thanks capt tom,we landed in ponce,a beautiful little town with great cafes and restaurants and the true feeling of puerto Rico,
so after a 3 hour jump around the town i went up to a cop and said,if you were me, with not a care in the world, where would you go,so he sent me to the most amazing little town called www.laparguerapuertorico.com  what a fantastic place,ill be back,next morning i was picked up at the hotel at 6am,we drove to the east coast and onto the catamaran waiting to roar,with about 30 people on board we sailed out of port got ourselves into the trade winds and the party started,we blazed past st Thomas st Barth's,st john,under the British virgin isles and over to a area called the Spanish islands,amazing diving with vis down to 120ft,the best snorkeling site on earth,400 types of fish,after that it was a nice slow sail back to San Juan,i got back to the hotel room looked in the mirror and said to me self .your in trouble,14 hours of sailing with no shirt no cream just a big smile on me face,10 minutes later i was jumping from the cold shower to trow up in the bowl and shiver all over,thank god jet blue got me on a early flight back to new york,3 days later and feeling alot better all i can say is ,
 
                                          THAT WAS AMAZING
 
                                                  THANKS
 
                                      PUERTO RICO
 
                                                  ill be back

2/22/07 -

No drain lines, no fan belts,no expansion valves,no compressors the man
in the dapper suit and flowing gray hair said,what is he talking about i
said to myself,i have been playing this game for 25yrs who is he trying to
fool,and that was how it started,

xdv,s - xdp.s - xdo,s it was all very confusing at first,but then i
started to get the hang of it,we double stacked the xdv,s and hung them
out of the ceiling,4 sets of refrigerant headers were put together and hung
in the center hot isle,pre-charged flex refrigerant quick connect lines
joined the xdv,s to the refrigerant headers all piped back to 3 xdps,(4)- 50
ton chillers out the back with (2) chilled water pumps, dual control
panels,upgrade of (3) - 60hp glycol pumps to 100hp, (1) 150 - ton and
(1) 60 - ton dry cooler added to the dry cooler farm on the roof,(1) - 20
ton and (2) - 10 ton crack units for the (2) - 400kva ups units on the
10th floor ,what a impact onto an existing system of 3 floors of critical
data center where failure was not a option.

And then the day of introduction and commissioning came,after sorting
out a few little engineering snags with chilled water bypass and chiller
programming,it was time to give the system a run for its money,so it
was off to see the building chief Mike ludwikowski for his blessing,his
engineering skills amaze me,over to Paul krische (assistant chief) the
only man who smiles more than me for his go, into Jack Leone the main man
for data centers for his cheerful (when am i getting my place back
comment), onto Mark Gerard my boss for the go ahead, it was time to make it
dance, So the time came to call Henry porizo the gray haired man in the dapper
suit,we talked on the phone or he had stopped in every day for 111 days
straight at 100hrs a week,during the crazy days of the project, when we
were not sure if we were coming or going, he always would say,(us here
at Emerson liebert) think this or that, and i would be looking at him
thinking its only you and me here, but then i figured it out,I had the world
wide engineering resources of Emerson liebert with me every day, that's when
i knew everything is going to go just fine,

In came (6) load banks lined up in the middle hot isle blasting 380 kw
of heat,(3) xdp,s pumping refrigerant 134a through the headers into the
xdv,s and a beautiful 25 to 30 degree f cooling across the coils, we failed
the system upside down and inside out and could not fail it,we were doing a
24hr round the clock test of all the systems,at about 5am i went up on
the building roof to see the sun rise over new york city after a very
successful night of testing,i lit up a cigarette and had a laugh to
myself,he was right (no drains needed) and loads of extra floor space
for computers and a small electric bill to keep the building manager
happy,14 months later we have still not received a alarm.

Dear Mr president,                            just droping you a email to let you know i was in town for the weekend,i heard bin laden say he would beat us by draining our resources so i said to me self, its your 20Th year in this great country take your Irish arse down to the capital and spend a few dollars,   so i headed of on the high speed train acelra to union station Washington,I got to tell ya Mr president that's one mighty fine city that you have,i headed over to the u s capitol building and stood there thinking about the history that has been made in this building,after leaving there in awe, i strolled up the mall to the Smithsonian museum where i spent the rest of the day looking at space,history,geography,the discovery Chanel will never turn me on again,after all that walking i checked me self into the Washington hotel,well Mr president i got to tell ya i have never slept in a bed quite like it,i did not want to leave the next day but i still had a lot to see,   so next day i rented a bike and headed of to the pentagon,i have to admit it was just sadness i felt looking at it,everything is back to the way it was but you can still smell the fuel burning so i decided no photos and back on me bike and over to the Washington monument,as i stood there looking at the monument i notice that it has 3 shades of block meaning it was built over time,just like freedom,from there it was over to the reflecting pool and the long walk up the steps to old Abe Lincoln,so after reading all of what Abe had to say i sat down for me lunch looking out on the reflecting pool thinking about Forest gump running over to jenny and then i see the white house and i think of bubba getting a blow job from Monica all great moments in American history and then it happens,i see the crowd running to the side and then i hear the chopping of air and out of no where  3 marine one helicopters ducking and diving, slipping and sliding, above the tree tops,well i got to tell you Mr president i stood up with a ham and cheese hero squashed into my forehead and a can of cola pouring down me leg,i dropped everything and grabbed me camera for i know they would never believe this one,that was quite a moment and i thank you for that,first helicopter made a fake dive to the white house the second landed which had you on board and the third followed you in and then veered right back over the mall and of into the sunset,                                             top gun was home safe,   after that my trip was complete so i headed down to the famous Irish bar Fados in Chinatown where they serve one of the best chicken pot pies,and enjoy a few laughs and sung a few songs with the tourists,i took a stroll back by the white house later in the evening but the gate was locked, i was thinking about jumping the fence and pop in for a cup of tea and a chat but i know you like to hit the bed early,so without a second thought i walked past the treasury building and back                              to the bed in the Washington hotel,   well I'm back in new york now as we both know Washington is the capital of America but new york is the capital of the world and i have the best view in the world of the fireworks from me roof,so once again i thank you for a wonderful time and wish you and yours a great 4Th of July,by the way could you tell the 2 boys in suits with ear phones that were doing the same tour as me i had a great time and sorry i had to disappear,and last but not least i leave you with theses                                                         words.                          THOSE WHO DENIED FREEDOM TO OTHERS                       SHOULD BE DENIED FREEDOM TO THEMSELVES                                           GOD BLESS AMERICA                                                  HAPPY 4TH
