Greatness...............

Here is a little bit of the genius of Monty Python.

S.O.B.'s

I Can't Think Of A Title....................

So for the past couple of days when I went to play a movie I had rented on my AppleTV it kept saying I was not authorized to play it. So every time I turned it on I just clicked it to see if it would play this time. So last night I was going to watch a new pilot I had gotten for free on itunes "New Amsterdam"(great show). Well I went to do my click to get the error on my movie. It was 11:45 at night. Well you wouldn't believe it but it worked. I was like now I got to watch it now. Because you have 24 hours after starting the movie to complete. You can watch it as many times in that 24 hours but after that it disappears. So I started watching the movie. It was "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." I had heard mixed reviews about this movie, but I had always wanted to see it. It was an awesome movie I seriously think that it may be one of the best movies I have seen. It was about 2 and a half hours long but it did not feel like it. The acting was great, the writing was great. It is rated "R" but that is only because of the violence. A lot of people get shot. I will post the trailer below.

I've Seen This Around Lately................

I have seen these in a few places the past few weeks. So I decided to take the test. Here are the results.

Here Is A Cool New Site..........

It is called hulu.com it is a site that opened today. You can sign up for free and it is an on demand video site. They have tv shows and movies that you can watch for free. I was just watching tv and saw people talking about it so I signed up and it looks like it is gonna be a site that I visit alot.

I haven't really written anything lately..........

and just accidently pushed enter which posted this blank. But I usually post a video or some news article in stead of writing something. Ok so down at the casual hall it has been stuck in the letter S for a week and a half. and was in Q for the week prior to that. So i am hoping to work soon but who knows it could be another week or two. You know sometimes I like to just ramble on. If you can tell by the header which by the way is lame. And i don't really have the skills to make a cool one. Well just watching Seinfeld now it is on MY13. But it is over now. So I might watch The Simpsons. Oh So I recently got an AppleTV. And I love it. It is so cool. I can watch all of my tv shows and movies and stuff from itunes. and if I buy something on the ATV then it automatically copies into itunes. well so long.

You Know When You Are...............

You know when you are looking for something and don't find it but you find something else that is even better. Well a few minutes ago I was trying to get to the PMA site to check the dispatch summary for tomorrow. Well it was down and I couldn't get there. So I googled it thinking I could get around it somehow, and I found this it is a bulletin released back in 2002 about the ILWU work slowdown. I guess it was written to upset people and turn them against the union. But starting on page two it starts to list events that are suggesting a slowdown. and I found this list funny. Here is a portion of the list.

In Portland, ILWU members refused working a grain ship, alleging a safety
concern because a U.S. Customs official, carrying a weapon, was on board inspecting
cargo.

In Los Angeles, the Union failed to dispatch adequate numbers of workers to
terminals, while in Oakland, one crane driver moved three containers per hour when the
three-year average for the vessel being worked is 30.

At the Matson terminal in Oakland today, one crane was moving 12 containers
per hour, despite averaging 30 per hour over the past three years. That ship missed its
sail schedule by at least one day.

The cargo ship, Hyundai Emperor, docked in the Port of Portland, experienced an
average of 5 container moves per hour this morning against an average of 21.68 moves
per hour. During the evening shift, this ship experienced 11.1 moves per hour.

In Tacoma, an Evergreen ship being worked at the MTC terminal is experiencing
10-12 container moves per hour against an average of 32. A K-Line vessel was
producing 11.4 container moves per hour against an average of 26.35. Maersk operations
in Tacoma were operating at 50 percent of normal today. The ILWU failed to dispatch
any labor to unload the ship during the midnight shift.

In Los Angeles/Long Beach, the Union refused to work extended shifts, violating
its ongoing agreement with PMA. In addition, the ILWU also failed to post clerk
positions in the casual hiring hall, thereby violating an arbitration award.

At the Hanjin terminal in Southern California, ILWU clerks stopped working,
alleging that a gear certification on a piece of equipment had expired, even though a 90-
day extension of that certificate was in place. The clerks then alleged erroneously that
the signatures on the extension were forged.


The whole thing after that was just great. PMA sounded like a bunch of whiners not getting their way.
