Restaurant review Claim Jumper, 9/30/07 Sunday evening I asked my son and daughter if they wanted to go out to eat. My daughter was not hungry but my son wanted to go to the Brea Claim Jumper. He loves the nachos, a dish of French fries with a couple of cheeses melted into them with bacon bits I believe. I had fallen in love with their baby back ribs. I called the restaurant before leaving the house and was told…
Product review Date 9/30/07 Manufacturer: Western Digital Model: WD Passport 160 GB/Go Computer used for test: 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4 Macintosh laptop running 10.4.10 system. Review summary: Not recommended for computers that cannot support 500 ma or more of power on the USB bus. As soon as I purchased this hard drive from COSTCO, I plugged this hard drive unit into my iMac laptop USB 2 connector and the hard drive would not mount. It made a clicking noise over…
Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent to a couple of ham radio friends concerning buying a car mobile ham radio rig: Thank you, Jxxn, for telling me of your choice for dual band car radio, the Kenwood TM D700A. Your recommendation sent me on a rather long quest. I decided to wait as I heard that Kenwood was coming out with a newer version of your radio, which is now the Kenwood D710A. This new rig is…
My sister wrote me to ask for advice using a video camera to cover a Macontosh user group. Here is my response: I can tell you a couple of professional tips on using a video camera. Tip #1: Use a tripod. There is nothing worse than jiggling images. Tip #2: Make gentle movements, no quick jerks with the camera framing. Tip #3: If you have to hand hold a video camera, set the camera to wide angle and leave it…
9-25-07 Evening The Old Spaghetti Factory 110 East Santa Fe Fullerton, Calif. 92832 Phone: 714-526-6801 Review: Good. This restaurant is located next to the Amtrak station for Fullerton. The building where the restaurant is located was once the Orange County depot for the Union Pacific Railroad. The building was built in 1923. It is quite large; cavernous is only a slight exaggeration. I was dinning alone as I had just dropped off my son at the Fullerton Junior College…
September 24, 2007 evening. Rating: ok At 6 PM I had to take my son to Fullerton Junior College for an evening class that lasted three and a half to four hours. To save gas cost, I decided to stay close to the campus. A very short distance from FJC is downtown Fullerton. Last week I had dinner at an Irish pub. This evening I decided to pick another part of the city to explore. This is an old town…
The Orange County Register Letters To The Editor, dated September 19, 2007, page Local 9, titled “UCI caves in Law school dean rehired”, and main point of this article is that the UCI chancellor caved in by reneging on his pulling back the offer of hiring Erwin Chemerinsky thus including another power liberal into the environment. This piece was well voicing of a passionate conservative viewpoint. Reading some of the sentences caused me to think that this person is drawing…
In the LA Times, September 18, 2007, issue it was reported that Mr. Chemerinsky was rehired as the UC Irvine campus dean of the new law school. Now that the Irvine campus train is back on track from a derail, let us examine some of the possible views of what did take place and what will take place if Machiavelli was still alive to report to us. Mr. Chemerinsky can ask for more money or any other perk he wishes…
I would like to comment about an article found in the LA Times, California section, September 16, 2007. The article is found on the front page of that section of the newspaper. The article is titled “Law deans differ on ethics of advocacy”. In the article the reporters interviewed a number of high profile law deans to gain any consensus at to what degree a dean of a law school should become involved in exposing and promoting a viewpoint. The…
September 16, 2007 I finally got to read the Saturday LA Times, a day late, Septermber 16, 2007. It was reported on page one that UCU was “… reportedly working on deal to rehire Chemerinsky”. This is obviously good news for those who value a better life, a better environment, for southern California. The report goes on to reveal that the conservatives allegedly did indeed lead the movement against Chemerinsky and allegedly, more specifically, Republican political figures in California politics….
