Here’s an interesting Game. It’s not your normal online game at all…. this one’s got some meat on its bones: it’s a way of feeling out how you would fare if you were trading on the markets, betting on the BLS report of the current employment situation (released first Friday each month).
The Game allows you to do a number of things to hone your skills. And it’s fun! Give it a shot….
More stuff to test…. using the html view to delete the stuff that causes the validate to bork.
since the map thing borked the validation big time….
And actually, only one little error, which I was able to edit out, hopefully without screwing anything up.
and believe me when I tell you it’s not George W. Bush….
Yard by Yard - Reggie and the NFL run for Katrina refugees
Be warned though: you must have Flash8 installed, and the site’s not particularly kind to Firefox. No matter, it’s nice site and a more than worthy cause.
There ARE people out there who are trying to help.
I reported earlier in the week on using the WindowsLiveWriter as a blogging client. It’s a more than decent option; but I’ve since run across something that’s even better: the Performancing extension for Firefox.
It does everything WLW does, and lives on the Firefox status bar. I have it set to open in a new FF window, nicely sized to sit in the corner of my primary screen. HIGHLY recommend it!
I will definintely keep WLW though, for the infrequent occasions when I’m forced to use IE….

There are tens of thousands of people still without the ability to move home to the New Orleans area, a YEAR after Katrina. There’s “no money” to fix the problems: to clean up the wards and parishes; to provide law enforcement; to produce jobs; to open hospitals, schools, day care centers, groceries, filling stations, churches….
But “they” can spend 9.3 MILLION DOLLARS to refurbish the SuperDome so they can play football there, so it’ll be open September 25?
I’m sorry, but there’s something so horribly wrong with this equation that I’m effectively speechless. I love football…. but this is a travesty….
Tonight the governor of Louisiana was on Monday Night Football, scintillating over the fixing-its of the Super Dome, and pretending that every Louisianan was absolutely waiting with bated breath for the first game on 9/25. I was appalled then, and I’m even more so now after I’ve had an hour to think about it.
I’ve never lost a damn thing to fire, flood, bomb, or other disaster natural or “god” induced. That does NOT MEAN I am incapable of extrapolating from known information. This whole thing is so seriously whacked that it begs description.
It’s heartbreaking. There is simply NO EXCUSE for placing football in the SuperDome ahead of real people.
[Oh, PLEASE don’t try to excuse this whole boondoggle by saying - well, it’ll provide x dollars to our economy…. I do NOT believe that, and nothing you can provide in the way of doctored stats and books is going to convince me….]
(that is, the WindowsLiveWriter) is a strong “two thumbs up”! I love it, I’ve got it set for all my blogs which means I post more, which means that the content is fresher and therefore the search engines should be happier.
Win, win, win!
