Miami Heat Win 2012 NBA Championship



The Miami Heat have won the 2012 NBA Championship winning tonight in Miami by a score of 121 to 106.  Miami never trailed in the game and they led 59 to 49 at half time and previously were up by more than that.  The game ended at ten to nine and I watched the trophy presentations but didn’t take pictures this time.  Lebran James won the Most Valuable Player.  Pat Riley has grayer hair now.  They also interviewed Wane Wade (?) and another player.  I watched till ten after nine and switched to “Supernatural” or whatever.  Pete was outside and had Oreos but didn’t offer me any, and I didn’t ask.  He said he wanted to save them.  Earlier in the evening I watched the George Zimmerman police interview and later on NBC news saw the location reenactment where he appeared to be working from the same ‘script”.  At the police station taped the next day he was notacibly nervous and figity and kept looking around, but spoke in an almost hypnotic monotone.  The contrast between the visual and the audio was stunning.  I believe very little of what he said, even though I admit it was detailed, if you were just reading the words as text.  This was on the ABC web site.  Apparently KABC7.com nets you nothing.  I Googled it and got the Eye Witness site but they didn’t have any “applications” what so ever listed.  Prince William Philip - - turned thirty today and wishes to continue as much as possible the life of a commoner and his work in the military, ad well as continuing the tradition of the charitable work of Dianna.  I watched just about all of the game however dozed off during the third quarter before eight and didn’t rouse till eight twenty or so and went out for a cigarette.  I was afraid Larry was going to ask for a request coffee batch, and I felt half dead.  I’m going to sleep well tonight.  Last night at just under seven hours, was a lot better than the night before.  The first batch of coffee was weak with metallic water and I wondered whether I’d used a double filter.  I dumped the used contents into a new filter to be absolutely sure and added one really heaping tablespoon.  The second batch, with a cup less water, was much stronger.  I let Bill have cups out of both batches.  Also earlier in the evening I looked at CNET and the bottom slide thing wasn’t all the way over so I didn’t see the slide thing on the individual videos for a bit.  There were ten advertized and I only saw four at first.  They don’t like the new Apple Mac Books.  They appear to be over-priced and lacking things.
This is June 21st.   ABC had truncated their usual local news.  I haven’t checked out that application site yet for Eye Witness news yet.  After three I dialed up C-Span.org.  First it was Harry Reed and other democrats discussing what to do about Grover Norquist, and some Republicans including Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham, have already jumped ship, and Reed feels confident needed measures will get passed.  Then it was Mitt Romney on the whole economy thing.  It was an utterly empty speech made before a group of Cuban Americans in Florida.  The President will be speaking to the same group tomorrow.  Then it was the Daryl Eisa committee to find Eric Holder in contempt.  Bill Eisa of course was a guy who burned down a building for the insurance money, and with his brother, stole a car, but only his brother was tried for it.  It's often nice to know just who is is that would morally judge you.  Randy Rhodes states that no witnesses have testified against Att Gen Holder, but still the speaker made a protracted speech making everything they were about to do seem reasonable with legal jurisprudence.  Other Senators spoke up briefly.  That Black guy on the liberal side was a lot more bluster than fact. That dishwater blonde woman made the point that a legislator's job is to ask questions relating to "problem solving" and getting to the root of "what is functionally wrong" with this that thing they are investigated.  Daryl had absolutely no interest in this basic reality of the job.


Will Horton and his mother appear to be getting along better.  He is at least recognizing that people do stand by him- - and hopefully is getting over his near persecution complex.  Knowing soap operas as well as I do, something is going to blow up in Will’s face anyhow, and you can get dollars to donuts he’s the guy will indeed be put on trial for the murder.  Bob Dylan once did a song lyric, "I'd have done anything for that woman, if she only made me feel Obligated".  The trouble is that too many people are virtual slaves of people to whom they owe nothing, but think they are none the less scoring some sort of "brownie points" by submission.  The only moral claim Grover Norquist has or should have on any man, would be that if you partake in his nature, you are a partaker in his guilt.  By allowing his "sin" to enter you, you thus feel less "adequate" and feel somehow you have "no choice" but to continue along the same futile path, but you are constantly told that "looking to the logical end result of your action" is somehow a "bad" thing to even permit your mind and conscience to contemplate.

As to what I was saying about light- - my point is that you can indeed “send” a blank AM single of 50,000 watts or whatever, whose amplitude never varies in whatever kilocycle AC format it’s in but otherwise unmodulated.  But light is photons.  Light is transmitted in waves, and saying that there is some “generic light transmission” that is at no particular frequency, to me is a little silly.  I stress again that if ALL measurements of light speed are based either on optical measurements, or gravitational measurements, than not even calculus will be able to tell you where your error is.  As I learned in Computer Class at Anaheim High in the fall of 1968, “Garbage In – Garbage Out”.  BASIC has no problem with your spelling any word variable any way you damn well wish- and should someone spell the word correctly, it will be counted as NOT the variable in the program.  Armed with this knowledge- - once again if it’s broadly conceded that light waves travel at various speeds depending on the source, and receding waves are red shifted but ironically with an enhanced refraction index, and of course, as with a telescope- - fewer lumins per square inch because you have less light input of image spread out over a greater lateral surface area, meaning that were one to photograph what is seen- - - as far as the camera is concern it would in terms of lens focus, focus in FRONT of the film the same way that near sighted people focus in front of their retinas.  In other wards this is light, if you will, with an “attenuated” (“weaker” for you uninformed ones) forward momentum.
