Can artificial schtink be behind?

Senator McCain went on and on in a Senatorial display of windyness after the bailout failed.

John we are going to need you to keep a wildly liberal congress under control.  You must win.  ( unfortunately )

1. Be simple and straight forward - oppose the bailout - we’re better off suffering through a depression than selling out democracy for scrit paper money
2. Paste Obama with supporting this massive government corrosion of our currency and interpersonal trust!

Two senators running for president.  The country should go heavy into wind power.  With just McCain and Obama we can put OPEC out of business!

In all the bailout plans democrats in particular are trying to talk up keeping people in their houses.  This is a prescription for prolonging the pain.  The reason we’re having a financial crisis is nonperforming assets.  To translate that "people who are not paying their mortgages".  It is only when the assets are in the hands of responsible owners that they will be performing again!

On an additional note anytime an operator says tries to put the rush on a move you need to watch out for the Ponzi for the scheme is failing and they need to fund out previous marks.

Recalling UserControl Properties

Standard controls have properties you can set using the object browser.  The next time you bring up your VB program for editing you need to be able to recall the state of these settings.  Example #3 on this page  shows how to use a PropertyBag to remember these settings.

One of the funniest things I ever saw on ebay was the name of the user.   They chose the following name

      AuctionOver

What is so funny about this is that when you first saw it you thought oh damnit….I missed the bidding.  Now this only worked for about 1/2 a second on me but anyone who did not look closely would just keeping clicking and skip bidding. Thus this humorous user would get better prices on that which he bought.

International Citizens Band Radio day October Fourth *( 10-4 ) will soon be upon us.  Do you have your CB radios in working order and ready to transmit ?  Make sure no miscreant has pinned your coax.  Fire up your radio and make sure everything is ready for TEN-FOUR.  

In America Its customary to give gifts on this day.  Have you bought your wife the Bearcat scanner she’s had her eye on?

How do you get teva rubber sandals to stop stinking after you sweat in them.? My Teva sandals smell a little bit. How can I get them to stop kickin?   Use my sandal mummification process.

My solution is easier if you have 2 pairs.  Get an old shoebox and dump a bunch of Borax in it.  Take one pair and and bury them cover them in Borax.  Let them rest their for a while.  This works pretty well in Arizona where its very dry.  The Borax sucks the moisture out and a bit of it diffuses into the sandal material. Borax is antibacterial and you will find your sandals smelling alot better.  You can do this on a nightly basis but what works best is to leave them in the borax a week so you do not have to dust them off everyday.  Simply pull out the ones that have been mummifying for a week and put your second pair in.  Then you always have a stink free pair.

This mammoth bailout plan is a loser.  Its an octopus with a thousand arms that will reach into the very base of the soul of America.  America freedom.  America is a contract of trust between you and me.  If we corrode our currency with this plan we are sure to lose the trust that is soul of America and of free enterprise.  It is this enterprising soul that has made every bit of wealth that you see in America. Not the socialist nanny state that sows distrust with its playing one group against another.  The soul of money is in its deeply rooted psychology and its ability to get the most disparate groups existing to cooperate.  If you break this down all is lost.  

A big bailout plan hits this in the breadbasket in more ways than one.  If you fore arm the congress with where the money is going you allow them to tap it like a sugar maple in a grove owned by the syrup maker.  Not good.  They will bleed us poor maples white.

Use the house Republican plan of insuring the bad paper.   Then the congress will not be able to get their greasy digits into the pie so easily. 

Mr. McCain the people hate this bailout idea.  Only the ruling class that makes up the entirety of the unDemocrat party and most of the Republican part like it.   Make Mr. Obama pay for his support of this bailout.  Make the congress hurt by getting yourself elected.   We are lost if the congress and presidency is held by the same party for that is when the excesses really begin.

A history of the housing mess. When you try to help the poor with socialist policies you always create a mess. It is left as an exercise for the student to prove this.

1³=1

1³+2³=9  = 3²                         

1³+2³+3³=36 = 6²

1³+2³+3³+4³=100 = 10²

1³+2³+3³+4³+5³=225 = 15²

…. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16….

These are triangular numbers are in bold: 

• 1+2 =3
• 1+2+3=6
• 1+2+3+4=10

          ( n(n+1)/2 )²= n²(n+1)²/4

A question I have in my mind is that Fermat’s last theorem states: If an integer n is greater than 2, then the equation aⁿ + bⁿ = cⁿ has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c. 

But how about  a³ + b³ + c³ = d³        … Are there any integer solutions to this?   I ask this because geometrically speaking volume is 1 degree of freedom more than area.

      3³+4³+5³=6³             …. = 15² - 3²
