BABY NAMES APP? WTF?

2009-09-21T11:17:00.000-07:00

So theres an application for iphone called the baby names app, where you can find names for your baby!...

#1 Baby Names App / iName Baby

...Why the fuck would it matter if its baby or adult, shouldn't it just be NAME generator app?? names can be used for anything/anyone not just for babies. Dumb application.

2009-04-08T11:11:00.001-07:00

I/we need to stop thinking about what we want to do and just do it. Thinking puts us one step behind by putting doubts in our minds causing us to not being able to cross the indifference threshold. It's kinda like what I'm studying in biology right now about reflexes. When something stimulates us, if there's enough stimulant to cross the threshold in order to activate the action potential. So we should change our systems to always be having enough stimulant to cross the threshold this resulting in action potential/a drive to accomplish. Easy to say, but I'm going to practice it

Those damn speed on green cameras

2009-04-02T14:55:00.000-07:00

Well, it's now been 1 day since the speed on green cameras in Calgary have been set to take your money if you've been speeding through a green, yellow or red light. I don't think I’m the only one who finds this stupid.

The Calgary Police Service says this will reduce the amount of people going to hospitals because of high speed collisions. Maybe I’m just an ill informed Calgarian but when i was 5, I was taught green means go, yellow means slow down and red means stop. I mean I see the need for the red light camera because you're running a red light and someone coming the opposite way, could hit you. Simple as that. But really now? Speed-on-green cameras? CASH COW.

The police have released many figures saying that X amount of people were hurt in high speed accidents at intersections in whatever year. To me, they look inflated and are only there to swing the public onto their side of the street. They even want to charge people with driving without due care (reckless driving). How are you going to charge someone with reckless driving when you only have a picture of the car and not the person? The big boss at Alberta Justice already told Calgary Police they are going too far by interpreting the law into something else to workout in their favor. STRIKE 1.

How far will the Calgary Police go before they start controlling everything you do in life to make sure you're "following the law?"

To see the list of intersections where these cameras are, follow the link -> http://www.calgarypolice.ca/sections/traffic/redlight_locations.html

A Chinese Sperm Bank (NSFW)

In there, girls go that extra mile and give you a hand errr, literally....
It's like free-hand-job-then-get-paid-paradise!

If you're a healthy and kind-hearted man, who likes to contribute to the Shanghai Sperm Bank, here's how it goes...

First you need to go for a health check, then 4 days prior your visit to this "paradise" you must eschew from sex and masturbation. You can go 4-5 times a month (yes! that often), and each time you will get maximum of 3 "jammin" sessions. You will also get paid RMB200 ( US$30 ) at the end of each session for your kindheartedness.

Address for whoever wants to give it a go: No 145 Shan Dong Zhong Lu, Ren Ji Hospital, Building 1, 7th FL, near Fu Zhou Lu, Shanghai, China.

Red-light cameras will not replace live police officers when it comes to catching careless drivers

2009-03-29T23:01:00.000-07:00

He's sorry.

This city's police chief isn't entering the confessional for anything he's done.
He's sorry because when you're at the controls and your underlings decide to go on an unscripted spacewalk it's up to you to abort the mission and take responsibility on behalf of the organization you command.

It's knowing where the buck stops and cleaning up a mess before it gets way too silly.
"I took my eye off the ball for a minute. The messaging fell through the cracks. I've apologized to the minister," says Chief Rick Hanson. "We didn't mean to cause grief. We had no intention of escalating photo enforcement."

The minister the city's top cop is talking about is the province's shoot-from-the-lip king of the roads, Transportation Minister Luke Ouellette.
Luke was mighty hot under the collar when he heard last weekend what was coming out of the mouth of a higher-up Calgary traffic cop.

Everyone knows, starting this Wednesday, the city police will use red-light cameras to begin snapping speeders through intersections. If you speed, the police say you could score a fine of up to $351.
But, and here's where the grief kicks in, the message from Calgary was cops would lay a careless driving charge in some circumstances.
Obviously, they didn't realize just because Wednesday is April Fool's Day it didn't mean they had to play the part.

Of course, the provincial poobahs up in Edmonton went ballistic.
In 14 months of huddling with the police and legal officials about the ground rules for the cameras, and endless meetings to painfully create an idiot-proof songsheet so everyone is in tune, no mention is made of careless driving charges.

And for good reason.

Think about it. It's reasonable to believe you could get a conviction for running a red light if you have a picture of someone's vehicle going through the red.
It is also within normal brain power to figure if there's speeding through an intersection and the camera clocks the speed and takes the picture, the charge of a vehicle going over the speed limit stands a good chance of holding up in court.
Now, take careless driving. How do the cops make a case against someone behind the wheel driving carelessly when all they can do is take a picture and lay a charge against the registered owner of the vehicle?

Now, thinking caps on and you don't need a law degree.
How easy do you think it would be for the registered owner to go to court and say he or she wasn't the careless driver because they weren't driving and the ticket doesn't say they were driving and the camera can't prove they were driving?
Luke (Hot Under The Collar) Ouellette connects the dots and tells us all the police can't charge someone with careless driving unless they have the person's licence in their hand.
A real, live cop has to pull the person over. Duh.
The people who fight tickets couldn't wait to see this comedy show roll out.
Guys like Charlie Pester, who is the Alexander Ovechkin of this town's traffic court, would be shooting at an empty net.

But did the traffic cop brass back down? No. When they saw the big brick wall staring them straight in the face they put on the gas.
No surprise. A few weeks ago, the cops fumble an announcement of a study supposedly showing the benefits of red-light cameras, making more of the numbers than what was there.
For once, it's not solely about dough.
A careless driving ticket is $402 and the speeding beef is up to $351 and failing to stop at a red is $287.

Maybe the careless threat is supposed to scare us, to send a message. It's too loopy to try and figure out.
What can be figured out is the province really wanted citizens to buy into the safety reasons for speed-on-green cameras.
The Calgary police detour was a distraction and political people do not like distractions.
Anyway, Hanson stepped in, discussions have been held, the oops is acknowledged, the apology accepted.

The police chief does say the film from the cameras will be used to forward any evidence connected with the investigation of a collision.
For your information, another ticket is coming our way. Last fall, an all-party committee of MLAs hung up on a plan to ban the use of hand-held cellphones while driving.
Instead they opted for the province's deep thinkers to come up with a distracted driving charge.
The charge will be for people driving out of order because they're doing anything causing them not to pay attention. Distracted driving will be lower on the scale than careless driving. Expect something by summer.

As for Hanson, he's back to fighting the baddest of the bad. As for the spacewalk?
"It's fixed," he says.

(When it comes around)

[Chorus]
Sometimes love comes around

The mind.

2009-03-29T13:36:00.000-07:00

Hey blog, I'm studying something neat in Sociology, deals with Sigmund Freud and how the society affects the ego.

The study consists of three parts: Id, Ego, and Super-ego.

The id stands in direct opposition to the super-ego.

Id
The id is responsible for our basic drives such as food, water, sex, and basic impulses. It is amoral and egocentric, ruled by the pleasure–pain principle; it is without a sense of time, completely illogical, primarily sexual, infantile in its emotional development, and will not take "no" for an answer. It is regarded as the reservoir of the libido or "instinctive drive to create".

Ego
The id rules early life, but as one matures, one begins to learn the need sometimes to endure pain and to defer gratification because of the exigencies and obstacles of reality. In Freud's words, "an ego thus educated has become reasonable; it no longer lets itself be governed by the pleasure principle, but obeys the reality principle, which also at bottom seeks to obtain pleasure, but pleasure which is assured through taking account of reality, even though it is pleasure postponed and diminished"
The ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world ... The ego represents what may be called reason and common sense, in contrast to the id, which contains the passions ... in its relation to the id it is like a man on horseback, who has to hold in check the superior strength of the horse; with this difference, that the rider tries to do so with his own strength, while the ego uses borrowed forces

Super-Ego
The Super-ego aims for perfection. It comprises that organized part of the personality structure, mainly but not entirely unconscious, that includes the individual's ego ideal's, spiritual goals, and the psychic agency (commonly called 'conscience') that criticizes and prohibits his or her drives, fantasies, feelings, and actions. The Super-ego works in contradiction to the id. The Super-ego strives to act in a socially appropriate manner, whereas the id just wants instant self-gratification. The Super-ego controls our sense of right and wrong and guilt. It helps us fit into society by getting us to act in socially acceptable ways.

My thoughts
So... what I found here, is that people have been living the super-ego life, including me, all this time. Doing what the society justifies as "politically correct", not being able to approach girls because of the society thinking thats wierd and awkward. But now I feel myself living in the state of "Id", and no longer the life of the super-ego. Id represents self-amusement, what makes you happy, having to do things without a care in the world about what the world thinks about you. Thats what will set apart the AFC's from the people that will improve. Id is like the first time a baby is born, there are no society regulations, until he grows into the ego state and finds what is socially acceptable. Well no more... the path I am now following right now is the Id route. Doing what amuses ME, and not what others care about, I will have the "instinctive drive to create". The Super-ego strives to act in a socially appropriate manner, whereas the id just wants instant self-gratification. The stuff in society is just arbitrary, theres no set rules or anything, start living your life and get further ahead by moving forwards instead of moving backwards.
