Earthmate is DeLorme's GPS receiver hardware (the little brick, like an XM satellite receiver, or the one from Microsoft). Plugs into the laptop same as the Microsoft GPS thingy. Works the same as Microsoft's does, and exactly the same as a Garmin's or any other GPS receiver. The GPS receiver...

"Tammy" by Debbie Reynolds. From the 1957 film "Tammy and the Bachelor," starring Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Nielsen, and Walter Brennan. Reynolds' single of this song spent 23 weeks on the "Top 40" charts, starting 07/22/57. It was #1 for five weeks. It was also nominated for a "Best Song"...

The legendary, almost mythical Sliding Turtles, the 77th Tactical Underwater Rapid Terrestrial Landing Elite (TURTLE) detachment of the Galapagos Islands Tortoise Military Offshore Operations Team (GITMOOT). But, I'm just a regular ol' turtle, a Terrestrial Unit, Rapid Transport Logistics...

Yep. Lambert's Cafe Sikeston, MO Ozark, MO Foley, AL

There's a wonderful restaurant in Sikeston, MO called Lamberts. Home of the Throwed Rolls. At one time they had billboards informing you that: "Your almost here!"

I'd want to make absolutely sure that the lease covers maintenance and breakdowns if that's the impression you are under. Most of them don't.

GVW and GVWR are used interchangeably, both mean the Gross Vehicle Weight, which is the same as the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or, what the vehicle is rated to weigh when fully loaded with cargo, driver, fuel, passengers, tools, installed accessories, everything, meaning when the vehicle is...

I was thinking, "the broker's what?"

I don't know anything about the hotel business, but I just bought a hotel to give hotel management a try. I don't know how many rooms the hotel has, though, but do you know how many people I can fit in there? Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's almost, almost, as silly as your...

Because of the many problems with cell phones, like the many different types and brands where it can take a while to learn how to get to the address book for someone unfamiliar with your phone, and that many times the batteries are dead by the time hospital personnel get to the phone (paramedics...

The notion of "quality trumps price" has not gone unnoticed at Walmart. In an annual report from Walmart three years ago, they admitted to what others had been reporting for some time, that the Walmart customer base has an income that is well below the national average. In addition, while most...

Yup. Levi Strauss no longer makes jeans. They are an importer of jeans.

Yeah, they'll get ticketed for going 10km over. But that's not all. Anyone in a truck that is going any faster than 105km, that's the litmus test for no speed limiter, and they'll get ticketed for not having that, too.

"What happened to New Orleans area?" I think they had a storm there or something. Knocked down a few trees, some power lines. They're still trying to recover from all that.

Is there really anyone who doesn't believe that Obama is a Socialist? It seems clear that he is. What's the most funny is how people have bought into this human-induced Global Warming and Climate Change nonsense. That one will likely go down as the biggest fraud of all time. Follow the money...

It's the Evil Empire known as Wal Mart that did it. Well, them and the customers who kept demanding cheaper, cheaper, cheaper. Eventually, though, quality begins to trump price, at least with me and many consumers. I first noticed it when I discovered Black and Decker makes "Wal Mart" versions...

We already do see it here in a way. Interest earned on a simple passbook savings account is taxed. You get punished for saving as it is. When I was a kid and opened my first savings account, I think it was at 5¼ % interest. Now it's nearly nothing, which means why bother, go out and spend it...

BTW, here's a pretty good article that gives a little more insight into Russian politics. I wonder if our Russian blogger knows about this stuff. :D http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/12/opinion/12sebag.html?pagewanted=1

"I never said it was perfect, i said it was broken and it is." Well, OK, let me re-phrase. When was it ever not broken? As for Obama and his Muslim faith, I know there's no point in even discussing it intelligently with you, since you deeply prefer to believe that he is a Muslim. That's fine...

Actually, that's no longer true with Verizon. You can change you plan at any time, as often as you like, without affecting the contract date. I started a new two-year contract one year ago, and I've changed my plan twice in the last 12 months without having to agree to a new contract, or a...
