<888> 12/31/13 Tuesday 9:35 P.M. For some reason the Hipo weather display is not getting the weather display. The display gets the time off the FIC server, so I know its wireless is working, and the Hipo weather display on the server works. I tried reinstalling the software, and I changed the weather city to White Plains, New York which is actually Westchester County airport which is nearer to me. At the moment, it is not displaying the weather. Perhaps one of the weather servers is not working. It takes time to reboot the FIC server, so I worked with the new Nokia AT&T GoPhone while doing that. I have 1.5 gigabyte of space left on the phone besides the 16 gigabyte mini SD card.

<888> 12/31/13 Tuesday 7:10 P.M. I chatted with a neighbor. I picked up the mail.
The orders with tracking of https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9400110200883038224500 on the order for Standard Sim to Micro Sim Card Punch Cutter + 2 Micro to Standard Sim Adapters for $4.22 with free shipping and the order with tracking of https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9400110200883043503379 on the order for 5 Port HDMI Switch Switcher IR Remote w/ Power Adapter HDTV Xbox 360 PS3 DVD Wii for $12.50 with free shipping arrived. I used the sim card cutter to cut the larger standard size sim card from my old Nokia GoPhone into the smaller micro sim card size for the new Nokia GoPhone. One has to make sure one cuts the gold portion of the old sim card in the punch out. It works just fine. However, I now have to enter the password twice when turning it on, since the old sim card had a password on it. Both passwords are the same. I installed the telephone directory from the old sim card into the new Nokia GoPhone. There was also a 16 gigabyte micro SD card in the old Nokia GoPhone that I put in the new Nokia GoPhone. It is for video and music and picture files. The sim card cutter came with two micro sim card to standard sim card adapters. I used scotch tape to put the new micro sim card in the adapter, and I put it in the old Nokia GoPhone. The old Nokia GoPhone now does not ask for a password. I still have the telephone directory on it that I had previously imported into the old Nokia GoPhone. Thus I now have $235 on the new Nokia AT&T GoPhone good until June 16, 2014. At that time I can add $25 more to keep the balance. The old Nokia GoPhone plan is the ten cent a minute plan, and I do not know if that includes data or just talk time. The old Nokia GoPhone is now on the new AT&T plan which is $25 a month for 240 minutes which expires on January 26, 2014. I will let it lapse, when it expires. Thus I still have my old AT&T GoPhone number of 1-203-252-0709. I do not plan to carry the new Nokia AT&T GoPhone outside the apartment when I leave, since I still have the free wireless Tracephone with 250 minutes a month. I do not know whether I should install my primary computer music files on the new Nokia GoPhone or leave the 16 gigabyte of storage for video and pictures. I updated the new Nokia GoPhone settings with Nokia online to preserve the phone information on the apps and settings that I have. I do not know if it also updates the telephone directory or not.
I hooked up the 5 port HDMI switch box to the Haier HDTV with input one being the Sony BluRay DVD and Streaming Media device and input 2 is the IBM ThinkCentre next to the Ethan Allen recliner. I place the switch box beneath and to the right of the Sceptre LED TV. Both hardware hookups work just fine. The power to the switch box is connected to the Scepter LED TV control panel under the far left monitor switch. I used the two sided tape to mount the IR sensor beneath the Sceptre TV, and I left the remote control on the far left of the Haier TV shelf. I have the bedroom HDMI cable hooked into the Sceptre TV as a second channel, but I could also move it to the 5 port HDMI switch box, if one wanted both cable boxes on the Haier HDTV. I chatted with a relative. CIO
<888> 12/31/13 Tuesday 4:00 P.M. I installed between 50 and 100 free applications on the Nokia Lumia 520 GoPhone (AT&T) which price seems to fluctuate between $40 and $90 on the Amazon web site. It seems to have about five hours of battery life in continuous use. I did notice one feature about it in using it. Since I am left handed, I hold it in my left hand and used the touch screen with my right hand. If one tried to hold it in the right hand and use the touch screen with the left hand, one might activate the buttons including the on and off button on the right side of the phone. Of course one could prop it up in one's lap and hold it from the top, when sitting down. It takes getting use to the small screen and the interface, but it is quite responsive, and I feel it was an excellent value for the $40 I paid for it with free shipping. There are quite a lot of useful free applications. CIO

<888> 12/31/13 Tuesday 11:40 A.M. I was told yesterday that the new construction on Steamboat Road across from 600 Steamboat Road where Bessemer Trust is, is for new Japanese style condos such as are across the street from the Delamar Hotel. In building the foundation excavation, the debris that they have removed is being crushed into the large mountain of crushed gravel that they will use for making cement for other projects. They did that when they tore down the former Greenwich Fire Station, and they crushed up all of the old cement from that project. I have a relative that used to live in the Indian Harbor waterfront area, so I have always kept and eye on that area over the years, since I returned from www.nantucket.net 30 years ago. I have a lot of experience as a wharf rat on the waterfronts around the world, but alas it is too expensive for me to drive down there regularly anymore. They also do not seem to appreciate my viewpoint on waterfront matters from the terra ferma side of the waterfront. CIO

<888> 12/28/13 Saturday 8:45 A.M. I installed the Skype and Netflix apps on the Nokia Lumia 520 GoPhone. Technically one does not need to activate the AT&T GoPhone with AT&T for their minimum monthly charge of $25. One could just use it with LAN wireless and Skype for communications and LAN wireless for the other features. Since it is a small delicate device, it takes a bit of time to get use to its feature. The Netflix streaming media works just fine on it, but it would be expensive with AT&T wireless. I probably should order a pair of ear buds, but I think I have a pair around the apartment somewhere.

<888> 12/27/13 Friday 10:00 P.M. I watched a http://siciliancookingplus.com/ cooking show on www.cnn.com . We probably should keep an eye out for any tourists that might show up in Greenwich, Connecticut in the Off Season around the Holiday Time. From my experience, we sometimes get people from the North Country showing up here in the Winter, since it is a lot colder further up North. Greenwich, Connecticut like New York City is as far north as Rome, Italy, so our climate is similar to Rome, except we can get some much colder weather, when the Artic winds come out of the Northwest. I have a www.rabittv.com device on the IBM ThinkCentre by the Ethan Allen recliner, and that computer content can be displayed on the Haier 32 inch HDTV.

I bought buy one get one free of 9 ounce Lays Sour Cream and Onion potato chips for $4.29 both, a 2 pound bag of baby carrots for $2.50, bananas for .79 a pound for $1.96, three 7 ounce tubs of Healthy Ones sliced turkey for $7 all, a 24 ounce Stop and Shop garlic mashed potatoes for $2.50, a four pack of 6 ounce Chaboni blueberry Greek yogurt for $4.29 and another one of peach for $4.29, a 7 ounce package of Stop and Shop sliced Swiss cheese for $3.59, and a loaf of Pepperidge Farm 15 grain bread for $2.50 for $32.92 total. I then used the ATM machine at the Chase Bank at the Stop and Shopping Plaza. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $10 of self service V-Power premium gasoline with a dime a gallon off with my Stop and Shop card for $4.199 a gallon for 2.382 gallons for 27.5 miles driven since Thursday December 5, 2013 at odometer reading of 107409 miles for 11.545 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic. I then returned home. I used my little folding cart from the back of the Volvo wagon to bring up my purchases, and then I put the little folding cart in the back of the Volvo wagon. I then put away my groceries. CIO

I put two new AAA alkaline batteries in it. I installed the USB sending device in the front USB port of the FIC server, and then I installed the software selecting Stamford, Connecticut as the home station. I rebooted the FIC server, and then I unplugged and plugged in the USB sending device, and I selected register on the weather icon on the FIC server and the register button on the display unit, and it all seems to work just fine. I also used the mode button to set the time and date settings manually, but the device also automatically updates those setting from the computer. I put the Hipo weather display on the top front of the FIC server. I put the little metal peg stand on it, for it to stand up properly. CIO

<888> 12/26/13 Thursday 2:45 A.M. I have 55 minutes to go on two dry cycles. One of the joys of living near West Putnam Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut is that not only do we have a 24 hour www.cvs.com , but we have three 24 hours gasoline stations with minimarts. There is the Shell, Mobil, and Exxon stations going from East to West in about a mile stretch. I was told by a relative that one of the CVS stores in Vero Beach, Florida is selling discounted HDTV sound bars for $40, so I guess the older retired people whom are hard of hearing will enjoy them.

<888> 12/25/13 Wednesday 2:05 P.M. It was on Christmas Eve back in 1977 when I had the night off from working as a dishwasher at La Vielle Maison in Boca Raton, Florida that I went to a coffee shop on U.S. 1, and I met somebody from www.ibm.com , and we sat down and chatted about computers as I knew them based on a IBM 360. I designed on a coffee shop napkin a sketch of a personal computer with motherboard, CPU, slots, hard drive and video card which is still pretty much the same today for a desktop computer. However, back then none of the parts were yet invented let alone the software. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. Have a Merry Christmas. CIO

<888> 12/25/13 Wednesday 5:40 A.M. I took a 10 inch skillet, and I put it on a large electric burner at medium high heat with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in it, and after three minutes when the olive oil was hot, I put in a 16 ounce rib eye steak, and I cooked it for three minutes a side flipping it every minute. The first two sides, I put garlic powder, Montréal Steak Seasoning, and Italian Seasoning on each side the first time around, and I ate it with Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce and 12 ounces of garlic mashed potatoes with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil and steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise and broccoli crowns with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Splenda sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. That is about a $10 meal at my cost which is way over my budget, but it will give me extra energy for exploring Greenwich Avenue during this Holiday Season.

<888> 12/25/13 Wednesday 12:15 A.M. Merry Christmas. Fred in his small apartment at 420 East 49th Street had a Pullman Kitchen with a bar set up on the counter at the entrance with about two hundred different bottles of liquors to meet the demand of anyone that might show up. I used to drink French white table wine. One of my more established friends and his family have left the United States of America for the Holidays and is currently on http://www.britishairways.com/ and is due to land at Heathrow in London, England shortly from where he will drive up to Glasgow, Scotland in about six hours to visit his wife's relatives for Christmas Day. They have eight flights from JFK to Heathrow due to land this morning, so I guess a lot of people go to London for Christmas. It is currently 49 degrees Fahrenheit and raining in London http://www.bing.com/weather/search?q=London%20weather&unit=F&qpvt=London+weather&FORM=DTPWEA . I made my bed. CIO
<888> 12/24/13 Tuesday 11:15 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I went back to bed until 10:45 P.M.. Back on Christmas Eve in 1971, I did not make it home to Weston, Massachusetts; but instead I stayed back on the Farm in Lake Forest, Illinois, and I was an escort for one of my girl friends at the Passavant Hospital Debutant Ball at the Hilton Hotel in Chicago which was a very glamorous event with all of the "Old Guard" from Chicago. I returned the following week to Weston, and on New Year's Day 1972, I flew to Paris, and I caught a plane to Rome, and I took the train from Rome to Florence, Italy; where I was a student until Easter time, except for when I was traveling on my U-rail pass. In Manhattan, they also have http://www.internationaldebutanteball.com/ which Fred Mayers alias Von Mierers and Helen Kress Williams use to help run. Fred use to bring lots of people from it back to his apartment at 420 East 49th Street, and we would sit and chat and have cocktails. Thus life was a bit more exciting back then than working as a waiter at Boodles in Greenwich, when they fired me and cut off all of the oil and gasoline in the United States of America in the fall of 1973 which changed everything including the stock market to crash. I will now shower and clean up. Of course back then www.polaroid.com was still a going company, although I had not worked for them since the summer of 1971, when I was an independent software engineer programming COBOL for IBM 360 main frame computer at their Interstate 128 film manufacturing facility in Waltham, Massachusetts. I will now shower and clean up. CIO

<888> 12/24/13 Tuesday 5:25 P.M. I woke at 3:30 P.M.. I picked up the mail. I did not get the Christmas meal voucher from the Greenwich Department of Social Services this year. Perhaps it is lost in the mail. I took one of the rib eye steaks out of the freezer to eat tomorrow. I chatted with neighbors. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and Splenda sweetener. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. 40 years ago in 1973 on Christmas Eve, I went to a party at friends at Park Avenue and 65th street, and then I went to a party at Barbara Rockefeller's at East 67th Street with fellows from www.rockefeller.edu . I guess times have changed, and since I do not visit Manhattan anymore, they are unaware of me. CIO
<888> 12/24/13 Tuesday 6:05 A.M. Well, nothing going on in Dog Patch U.S.A.. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then eat a Greek yogurt, and then I will go to bed for the day. I might try to get up a little earlier in the late afternoon in case I want to get some Christmas Dinner at the grocery store. However, I do not have much of a Holiday appetite anymore. CIO
<888> 12/24/13 Tuesday 5:25 A.M. I ate one ounce of almonds. In the United States of America, when people dwell upon the President of the United States, they call it "White House Fever"; and in Washington D.C., they call it "Potomac Fever".

I will now shower and clean up. Don't worry about me, I have enough canned food stored up in my apartment to survive the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Blizzard_of_1888 .

I ate a turkey and American cheese sandwich on 12 grain whole wheat bread with Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise and Lays wavy potato chips and a dill pickle slice and a 12 ounce glass of Canada Dry diet Ginger Ale. It sort of amusing that rich people advertise themselves all of the time, but they do not know how to communicate directly, so they are probably using their celebrity to sell some sort of goods or service. Poor people also have the ability to communicate, but they do not communicate, since it would be a waste of time, I guess. CIO
<888> 12/23/13 Monday 2:45 A.M. When I visited http://www.lanzarote.com/ in February 1972, they served good fried fish and fried potatoes cooked in olive oil which was very tasty along with German beer. For some odd reason, when the British get bored with me, the Germans come to my rescue, although I do not know the German language. I guess having lived in German neighborhoods in Manhattan and knowing the German family out in Plandome Manor, Long Island that were part of the Kaiser's consulate staff in Manhattan before World War I, I have been seen around a number of Germans. Plandome Manor was developed by the http://www.metmuseum.org/ , where I spent a lot of time walking around, when I lived in Manhattan. On Christmas Eve about an hour before closing they have a Christmas Service around the Old World Christmas tree with all of its decorations. It is opened to the General Public, but not many people ever attend, since they are too busy with Holiday events. It is sort of strange the Dutch do not pay much attention to me, but I guess like the Germans one has to know their language. Being on the low economic latter in Greenwich, Connecticut; a lot of my neighbors seems to be Spanish or Latino speaking, so I never know what they are chatting about. Of course it was much the same way down in Cayo Hueso, Spain and the Canary Islands; when I visited those places. The most prosperous Latinos in this area seem to be the Greenwich Taxi cab drivers coming and going from the Greenwich Train Station. There are suppose to be a lot of them in nearby Port Chester, New York; but I can not afford to shop over there, and besides I enjoy the ambience of Greenwich Avenue; where people enjoy exercise walking now that it is too expensive to drive over to Tod's Point for an exercise walk. Old Greenwich is friendly, when one visits there, but like Greenwich Avenue, it can be expensive. CIO
<888> 12/23/13 Monday 1:55 A.M. Horton: New industrial revolution on Greenwich Avenue
I still think they should have a http://www.arthurtreachersfranchising.com/ on Greenwich Avenue. Having lived way out at www.nantucket.net and down in Cayo Hueso, I like their product line. Back in the 1970s in Manhattan, I used to eat at their restaurant on Third Avenue and about 63rd Street all of the time. They also use to have one where Wendy's is now located on West Putnam Avenue or nearby that location. CIO
<888> 12/23/13 Monday 1:25 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I sat outside for a while. It is 57 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now. All seems quiet in the Greater Metropolis of Byram, Greenwich, Connecticut. I opened the living room window, and I started the window fan to cool off the apartment and bring some fresh air into the apartment. CIO
<888> 12/23/13 Monday 12:25 A.M. I did some system's maintenance. I clipped my finger nails and toe nails. I will now use some lemon juice to remove the nicotine stains from my fingers and finger nails. I will then shower and clean up. CIO
<888> 12/22/13 Sunday 11:25 P.M. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and Splenda sweetener. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. I watched "Downton Abbey". I had seen the particular episode before, but it was interesting watching to see how the English lived in the old days, when Americans were first becoming modern. CIO
<888> 12/22/13 Sunday 8:45 P.M. I chatted with a relative. "Downton Abbey" Season 3 is on channels 10 and 13 here from 9 P.M. to 11 P.M.. CIO
<888> 12/22/13 Sunday 8:15 P.M. I woke up at 6 P.M.. I chatted with a relative. I sent out 11 more Hipo 7'' Digital 5 Day Wireless Internet Weather Forecast Station With Indoor and Outdoor temperature Display for $2.99 and $2.99 shipping for $5.98 total each for $65.78 Grand Total. I sent them to family, friends, and associates that I know use the internet quite a bit. I hope they work. With the previous order of four for $7.98 each for $31.92 that is 15 that I have ordered for $97.70 total. CIO
End of Scott's Notes week of 12/22/13
<888> 12/22/13 Sunday 1:25 P.M. I will now send out my weekly notes. I will then shut down the primary work computer. I will then eat a Greek yogurt. I will then go to bed. CIO
<888> 12/22/13 Sunday 11:55 A.M. I put the other rib eye steak in the freezer. I normally do not eat too much red meat anymore, but I keep it in the freezer in case I need some extra energy. CIO
<888> 12/22/13 Sunday 11:50 A.M. I noticed the other night that the new large evergreen tree that somebody donated to the Greenwich Town Hall after the hurricane a couple of years ago knocked down the old one, now has a lot of very nice Christmas Tree lights on it. I also noticed from what I could see in the dark that the old www.exxon.com gasoline station next to the Greenwich Library has a wire fence around the vacant lot, and there seems to be a construction trailer there for the new www.chase.com bank they are going to build there. However, that is a very dangerous location for entering and exiting the parking lot, so one will have to be very careful when going there. I much preferred the old Putnam Trust Parking lot on Mason Street across from the YMCA before the Bank of New York bought it and sold all of the Putnam Trust people to the Chase Bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue next to the Knights of Columbus which is a Roman Catholic organization. The Protestant population is generally involved with the Scottish Rite Masons. Their old Masonic hall is now the Wells Fargo Bank, where I pay my rent to the Greenwich Housing Authority across from the vacant lot where the fire station used to be. They are also closing the Chase Bank branch just south of the former Greenwich post office, but there are still three within easy walking distance on Greenwich Avenue. The Chase Bank at the top of Greenwich Avenue has a safe deposit vault if one needs to store a back up of an external hard drive data information for safe keeping. The Bank of New York now on Mason Street still has the old Putnam Trust Safety Deposit boxes. The Peoples bank at the top of Greenwich Avenue closed about six months ago, but their new branch at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue is still there. The large new J.P. Morgan Bank across from the Greenwich Library in the former U.S. Tobacco headquarters seems to be fully staffed with a lot of large men whom are suppose to be bankers, and all I can tell about them is that some of them buy their take out lunches at the nearby A&P. The Citibank Branch is still at the Greenwich Train Station. Bank of America is at Greenwich Avenue and Elm Street. Webster Bank is on Mason Street. Greenwich Savings and Loan is on Mason Street. There are probably a few other banks around that I have not noticed, not to mention all of the hedge funds. Bessemer Trust is still trying to make a living on Steamboat Road and Northern Trust is on Mason Street. About all we are missing is Wilmington Trust, but I know somebody in Bedford, New York that works for them. Also Citizen's Bank owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland is on Greenwich Avenue. Also Credit Suisse and Swiss Bank are in the neighborhood. CIO
<888> 12/22/13 Sunday 10:45 A.M. I ordered Hipo 7'' Digital 5 Day Wireless Internet Weather Forecast Station With Indoor and Outdoor temperature Display for $4.99 and $2.99 shipping for $7.98 total. I will hook it up to the FIC server which runs all of the time. I sent another one for the same price to Bill Gates who probably does not have one. I figure he probably runs a server all of the time. I had another one sent for the same price to the Dairy Farm computer lab over in North Tarrytown, New York; so they learn to keep an eye to the weather. I also sent one to the British Embassy in Washington D.C. for the same price. It would cost over $75 to send it to England directly. CIO
<888> 12/22/13 Sunday 9:20 A.M. I drank a 12 ounce bottle of Lipton citrus green tea. I put one of the 16 ounce rib eye steaks in a freezer bag, and I put it in the freezer. I put the five pound bag of Dole potatoes in the lower refrigerator drawer. I am trying to cancel the order for small size pajamas for a friend, and I sent them email, but I will try to also call them at 9 A.M. on Monday morning. My friend might be larger than small size. He said he is 5 foot 7 inches and 145 pounds, so he might need a medium size which is not available as a sale item. CIO

<888> 12/21/13 Saturday 2:40 A.M. I moved my Volvo wagon to my building's parking lot from the in between area. There was a black and white tuxedo cat moving around. It is 48 degrees outside right now, so anyone driving down south for the winter is probably having an easy trip.
http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/
About the only international company with an office on Duval Street when I was in Key West in the winter from 1976 to 1978 was http://www.gulfoil.com/ , and since Fred Mayers alias Von Mierers had been there years before me, and since some of his interior decorating clients were from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellon_family , more than likely somebody down there knew what really was going on down there. I guess the main reason people were there instead of the mainland of Florida is that in the winter, it can be a lot warmer down there than the mainland of Florida.
If one looks at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealthiest_Americans_%281957%29 , the Mellon family could probably afford to live anywhere they wanted. When I was around Fred, and somebody mentioned the Mellon family name, I would say, "Honeydew, Cantaloupe, Watermelon". CIO

<888> 12/20/13 Friday 11:55 P.M. I took a 10 inch skillet, and I put it on a large electric burner at medium high heat with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in it, and after three minutes when the olive oil was hot, I put in a 16 ounce rib eye steak, and I cooked it for three minutes a side flipping it every minute. The first two sides, I put garlic powder, Montréal Steak Seasoning, and Italian Seasoning on each side the first time around, and I ate it with Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce and 12 ounces of garlic mashed potatoes with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil and steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise and broccoli crowns with Smart Balance Spread and extra virgin olive oil and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Splenda sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. That is about a $10 meal at my cost which is way over my budget, but it will give me extra energy for exploring Greenwich Avenue during this Holiday Season. CIO
<888> 12/20/13 Friday 10:30 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown. I chatted with two regulars. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. Happy Hour at http://primaryrestaurant.com/ was busy. I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card, but I lost. I used the bathroom at Starbucks. Since my waist is shaped like a pear, my long underwear tends to fall down below my bottom while I am walking which is a nuisance. I stopped by CVS, and I picked up a prescription. I bought two 16 ounce bags of lightly salted CVS almonds for $5 each for $10 total. I then bought two Alberto VO5 15 ounce Kiwi and Lime shampoo and two Alberto VO5 Kiwi and Lime conditioner all for $1.27 each and .32 tax for $5.40 total. I finished my walk on a not too busy evening. I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone.

About twenty years ago, I drove out to nearby Westchester County airport in a blizzard, and I met two Norwegian helicopter pilots that had flown over in the blizzard from MacArthur airport on Long Island in a Norwegian all weather off shore oil platform helicopter http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/norway-opens-up-sar-helicopter-competition-03020/ and http://helihub.com/tag/norway/ and https://www.google.com/search?q=Norwegian+all+weather+off+shore+oil+platform+helicopter&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=keiwUsvAG-_JsQTXp4CACg&ved=0CCkQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=834 .
<888> 12/17/13 Tuesday 7:10 P.M. When I lived in Manhattan until February 1982, I knew quite a few people including John Barrett who was a waiter at the Spring Street restaurant in SoHo http://springstreetnatural.com/index.php and later I heard he went on to become manager of Tavern on the Green in Central Park http://www.centralparknyc.org/visit/things-to-see/south-end/tavern-on-the-green.html . His family in Bloomington, Indiana owned the limestone quarry that was providing the limestone for the cathedral construction for http://www.stjohndivine.org/ . Back around Christmas 1986, I went to the early Christmas Eve service at http://www.christchurchgreenwich.org/ at around 7 P.M., and afterwards I drove into Manhattan to St. John the Divine, and I found a parking space right in front, and I and attended Midnight Christmas service there with about five thousand other people. Thus I would say it is safe to say, people in Manhattan have seen me in church. CIO

<888> 12/16/13 Monday 9:20 P.M. Back in December 1973, I drove from Greenwich, Connecticut in about six inches of snow in my 1971 blue Volvo sedan to pick up George Cary at Newark airport coming in from Buffalo, New York. We then drove to Gladstone, New Jersey for him to visit his grandfather where the United States Equestrian team is now headquartered. During the visit, I noticed his grandfather who worked for Queen Victoria kept the house at about 45 degrees Fahrenheit. His grandmother had gone some place else that was warmer. After the visit, in the snow storm while driving through Far Hills, New Jersey where the www.forbes.com have a farm, we had the fan belt break on the Volvo. We found a snow mobile shop in Far Hills, New Jersey that was able to replace the fan belt. We then drove into Manhattan to Fred Von Mierer's girl friend's family's apartment at Park Avenue and about 92nd Street, and we attended a large Holiday party there. Besides George and myself and Fred and his girl friend's family friends, my youngest sister and her husband, Bob Griffin a www.lfc.edu roommate and Jimmy Eldert were all there. After the party, George and I drove back to my family's house in Greenwich in the neighborhood where the Rockefellers and Bushs lived still driving in the blizzard which was up to about a foot of snow. My relatives were not home, since they were away elsewhere and there was no heat in the house for some odd reason. Thus I have seen worse times. Fred's apartment in Manhattan at 420 East 49th Street always had plenty of heat from the central Manhattan steam system, and it was so hot in the apartment; he had to keep the Frederick air conditioner going full blast on the coldest days of the winter. He and Helen Kress Williams used to keep a bottle of Stolichnaya Russian Vodka in the freezer for any guests that might drop by. CIO

<888> 12/14/13 Saturday 2:55 A.M. When one plays golf, one has to replace their divots after every shot, so the sod remains in good shape. I used to use the Vardon grip to hold the club. The last time I played golf was either in Kennebunkport around 1985 or at Bayonet Point, Florida around the same time. Once I got fat during starting in the winter of 1984, I went from about 155 pounds at Christmas Time in 1983 to about 215 pounds by 1986 in a period, when I did not have a kitchen or a car. I would eat yogurt and orange juice for breakfast. For dinner I would eat at the Greenwich Hospital Cafeteria where a meal was about $2.50 to $4. I was resting a lot in that period, since I was exhausted from my years of travel and work. When I got a car around October 1986, I started shopping at the local grocery stores, and I had a half size refrigerator, and a double hot plate and a few cooking utensils. I would sauté up something to eat on the hot plate. Of course hamburgers were a frequent item as was liver and onions or Lipton alfredo mix with imitation crab meat or boiled chicken breasts made into chicken salad. I did not have a freezer except ice trays. Somehow, I put on a lot of weight by slowing down my lifestyle and reading a lot from books I checked out of the Greenwich Library. I recalled about the time I got the yellow Volkswagen dasher in October 1986, I bought a 19 inch Samsung Color TV at Woolworths on Greenwich Avenue for $86. I used it in the apartment on Steamboat Road with rabbit ear antenna until I moved here in December 1988, and for a while here. After a couple of years of thrift shop TVs, I bought a 20 inch RCA Proscan TV at County Appliances in Stamford for about $265 a lower price, since it was a clearance item. I kept that TV for about 15 years or more along with the 28 inch Orion TV I bought at Wal-Mart on Route 7 in Norwalk for about $200 about 15 years ago, which I still have setup in my bedroom with all of the other televisions in the apartment. I still have the 24 inch Sony WEGA TV in the living room and the 30 inch Sony Trinitron in the bedroom. Both of those cost $40 at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I also have a 12 inch Panasonic TV in the bedroom and 12 inch JVC in the bathroom. The Panasonic cost $79 at Best Buy in Norwalk about 10 years ago. The JVC was $40 at the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop about six years ago. The 20 inch Sony Trinitron that I discarded was $40 from the Merry Go Round Mews thrift shop about five years ago. Of course I also have the four flat screen televisions all setup around the apartment. I took the Proscan TV to the family house in Maine about 7 years ago, where it was discarded after a few years. I bought another one like it for $20 at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop about seven years ago, but it malfunctioned after a couple of years. I had another large Sony television in the bedroom a few years ago that malfunctioned after a few months, so I tossed it. The reason for spending the money for the good flat screen televisions during the last two years is that I pay $95 a month for high definition cable television which I have them hooked up to. However, I spend so much time on the computer, I do not watch too much television, particularly with Netflix without commercials available. I think I once had an older RCA television in the apartment, when I first moved here that I had bought at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop for $20, but after a couple of years, it malfunctioned. There was also a period in my second to fourth years of personal computers that I did not have Cable Television, and I also lost my telephone because of a $800 long distant telephone bill to computer bulletin boards. CIO
<888> 12/14/13 Saturday 1:50 A.M. http://www.thenathanielwitherell.org/
I ate 3.25 ounces of 65% reduced fat Chex Mix along with a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale. A similar drink in the old days at the Ninth Hole at the http://www.greenwichcountryclub.org/ which consisted of 50% cold http://www.welchs.com/ Grape Juice and 50% cold Canada Dry Ginger Ale was called a transfusion. I can not recall whether or not it was served on ice in a glass. Golfers in the summer get hot and thirsty, and at the mixed grill at the 18th hole, they would serve a pitcher of draught beer on ice, and for some reason they always had the best hamburgers. When my father got a corporate membership at the club back in 1962, it was about a $5,000 bond, and one had to be approved by all of the membership. However, once one is out there on week days playing golf in the summer, the golf course was not too busy; but on weekends it was busy. The swimming pool and tennis courts were busy in the summer. Of course back in 1962 a complete set of golf clubs cost about $300 and a good golf bag cost over $50 and golf shoes were over $50 and a new golf ball cost $1.25. By today's prices, golf would be way too expensive for most people on minimal income. There are a number of public tennis courts in this area however. My last handicap in golf for 18 holes at the Greenwich Country Club was an eight back around 1968. I quit playing golf regularly once I started working at age 16 in the summer, but I kept up the game while at the Taft School in the spring. While at www.lfc.edu , I was too busy working and studying to try my hand at golf. I did try out for the Varsity golf team, but there were a number of scratch golfers at the college to my despair. I use to easily hit a 250 yard driver, but I was erratic on my short game. I used to have a Tony Lima putter that was a most excellent putter, but one day it disappeared. I still have my Haig Ultra Golf Clubs from around 1960 and my Naugahyde Burton Golf Bag from Jasper, Alabama along with two pairs of golf shoes with spikes. Golf gloves use to cost $5. I never used a caddy, and I would frequently carry a full bag of clubs myself and walk the course, which was not easy for a skinny kid. CIO

<888> 12/13/13 Friday 6:40 P.M. I took the old 20 inch Sony Trinitron CRT TV out of the kitchen, and I cleaned the area where it was to the left of the refrigerator. I took the APC power control center off the Asus Netbook in the living room, so the Asus Netbook will not be setup until I get the power control center next Wednesday. I put APC power control center to the left of refrigerator plugged into the power strip behind it. I put the Labtec subwoofer speaker on the back side of the APC power control center with it facing to the left with it plugged into the second switch from the right on the APC power control center. I assembled the new 20 inch LED Seiki TV, and I put it on the front side of the APC power control center with it plugged into the first switch to the right. I ran the Audio cable from the Labtec subwoofer to the microphone jack on the Seiki TV, and I connected the coaxial cable to the Seiki TV. I put two telephone books on top of the subwoofer, and I placeed the Sony Stream Media on top of the telephone books on top of the subwoofer and plugged the device into the third switch from the right, and I ran an HDMI cable from it to the only HDMI input on the Seiki TV. I then setup the Seiki LDE TV, and it works and sounds just great. I left the Seiki remote control and the Sony Media device remote control at the front side of the Seiki TV. I left the Cablevision box remote control on the small table just inside the kitchen. Thus it is all setup. To use the Sony streaming input device, one has to change the Seiki TV source to HDMI with its remote control and turn on the third switch from the right on the APC power control center and turn on the Sony Streaming media device with its remote control. The coaxial picture is sharp enough, but it will be even sharper, when I install the gold coaxial two splitter. I used my little folding cart, and I put the old Sony 20 inch CRT TV out by the dumpster for anyone to retrieve. It still works fine too. I kept the Sony remote control for the old Sony TV in the living room. I threw out the garbage. I picked up the mail. As of the first of the year, my EBT food stamps are going from the current $168 to $163. Thus although I got a $11 SSI COLA increase, it is really only $6, and possibly if they change my rent amount there will be no COLA increase. This happens all of the time, so in 27 years on SSI, I have never really gotten a real COLA increase. I will now shower and clean up. CIO
<888> 12/13/13 Friday 3:40 P.M. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, 12 ounces glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water and vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with milk and Splenda sweetener. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. I will take the APC control panel off the Asus netbook setup and use it to setup the new TV setup in the kitchen. It will not be optimized setup until I get the gold coaxial two splitter next Wednesday. CIO
<888> 12/13/13 Friday 2:40 P.M. I woke up at 9 A.M., because the construction work was making noise.

The FedEx man was still having problems with his computer. He was able to write zeros to the hard drive with the Seagate utilities, but the Dell XP install disk would not recognize the SATA hard drive. I suggested using the Seagate Utilities to partition the SATA hard drive. I took the Cambridge Sound system off the Haier HDTV setup in the living room. I put it on the Ocosmo TV setup in the bedroom plugged into the headphone jack. I will use the Labtec speakers from the bedroom on the kitchen TV setup. I put a three foot shelf underneath the Haier TV in the living room, and I placed Boston Accoutics speaker system underneath the Haier TV connected to the headphone jack and on AUX1 on the speaker system. I programmed the speaker system remote control per the instructions. When one turns on the control panel master switch the power to the speakers and Haier TV comes on. When one turns on the Haier TV, the speaker system is recognized, since I set it at yellow input or input 2. I adjusted the levels on the speaker bar and the Haier TV, and it sounds just fine. I chatted with a relative. I ate a Greek yogurt. Around noon, I tried going to bed. About an hour later the order with tracking of UPS Tracking on the order for http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital-SE20HS02-20-Inch-Black/dp/B00E0EYIV4/ref=lh_ni_t?tag=dealnewscom&ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER#productDetails for $66.72 and two year warranty for $6.63 and $4.66 tax for $78.01 total arrived.

<888> 12/13/13 Friday 12:50 A.M. Living in Greenwich, Connecticut on and off for 51 years, I have met a lot of people; but they always seem to be coming and going from other places, so I gave up on trying to keep track of anyone a long time ago.
I heated and ate a 15 ounce can of Chef Boyardee small ravioli, and I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. When I met Roger Schultz about 23 years ago, he was a software engineer for Schweppes.

Ronald Reagan was staying at the Waldorf Astoria on his first trip to Manhattan after being elected President. The owner of the dog who later went on to the be the first European flight attendant with China Airlines was working at the liquor store at the Dakota apartment complex. When I walked back through Central Park, there was a police presence around the Dakota, so I walked back down the street to the south of it. The following morning in the newspaper, I learned that John Lennon had been shot that evening. I used to see John and Yoko around the neighborhood, but nobody ever bother them.

<888> 12/03/13 Tuesday 10:35 P.M. When I used to go over to White Plains, New York at night to a local pub there to see if any IBM computer people were around from around 1987 to 1992, I only met one person with an IBM connection. It was somebody from Westport, Connecticut that was always playing the 50 cent computer game and he told me his father was the Vice President in charge of personnel at IBM. What was strange about him is that he looked like Steve Jobs. Another friend there about 25 years ago was given the Seattle, Washington Chamber of Commerce video tape, and suddenly Microsoft became well known. I met a friend of the Aga Khan there, so it was a very international group of people. Since White Plains, New York has so many business contacts, they do not pay much attention to people from Greenwich, Connecticut. I did once go over there on Labor Day about 1984 or 1985 and I bought new Michelin tires for my Hyundai Accent at the old Sears store there. While waiting outside the store, I noticed an older man sitting on the steps of a small three story brick building on the east side of the old Sears there, and he looked a bit like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Rockefeller , but there are so many Dutch people in this area with a similar look, it was probably just one of the other local Dutch people in this area. I think the last time I was in White Plains, New York was, when I drove through it to go to www.bestbuy.com to buy my Acer LCD monitors, when they were on sale at the Hartsdale store in July 2007. I do recall touring the new mall there that had a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage software store there. Once CompUSA closed over there, I had no need to drive over then looking for computer parts. About 20 years ago, I went to the White Plains Auditorium to a computer parts fair to buy some computer parts. There is also a OfficeMax or Office Depot over in Hartsdale, New York. Before I got into personal computers 23 years ago, I use to keep a 40 gallon fresh water aquarium with Brazilian Amazon River Angel Fish, and I use to go to the Aquarium store in Hartsdale, New York to get the large black and white angel fish from Brazil. I think there was a large store next to it that sold artificial flowers. I was told by a former neighbor that the www.cia.gov has an office in Hartsdale, New York. When Microsoft launch Windows 95 with Midnight Madness at the CompUSA store in White Plains, New York, I drove over there shortly before midnight to buy it, and the store was not opened. One the way back through White Plains, New York, I saw a little dark skinned Hispanic in a small beat up foreign car being stopped by the White Plains, New York police for driving the wrong way on a six lane street, and there over 50 white Chevrolet police cars that had responded to the incident. The Unites States Secret Service also has an office in White Plains, New York. I think the last time I was in White Plains, New York might have been on a cold day to get a new battery at the new Sears store there, but they did not have one, but I do not recall which car or when it was. It might have been a battery for Buick wagon, which I eventually got a Deka battery at the Exxon gas station here in Greenwich the same day which would have been April 24, 2007 which would be before I got the Acer monitors. When I got the Acer monitors, I also drove to the Best Buy store across the Hudson River in Rockland county to get the larger 23 inch monitor. CIO

The Gould Estate was just north of the IBM Country Club. The http://www.hknc.org/ was just north of there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Averell_Harriman 's sister's house on the waterfront was just north of there. Back in November 1965, on a Taft School weekend, I visited a Taft School friend's house out there too. I can recall standing with some friends downtown on a Saturday morning at one of the railroad stops there, trying to figure out what goes on there compared to Greenwich, where I lived at the time. I think we were sneaking a little liquor, but I do not recall exactly at the time. CIO

!!!!!!<888> 12/03/13 Tuesday 11:35 A.M. Copy of foot fungus medicine note:
I had foot fungus from January 2011 until about April 2012.
After using Lamisil for about a year without any results, I finally did this
I bought for $5 off a 8 ounce LAC-Hydran Five Moisturizing lotion for $11.99 and .76 tax for $12.75 total. I will mix it with remaining bottle of similar lotion for about 9 ounces and my last tube of CVS Athlete's Foot cream for 1.25 ounces and the small one ounce bottle of Tea Tree oil and 1.5 ounces of Mometasone Furoate Cream USP 0.1% and 4 ounce ounces of Gold Bond Foot cream and seven ounces of CVS Adult Rash Ointment and 13 ounces of CVS Petroleum Jelly and 12 ounces of extra Virgin olive oil to thin the mixture to have my own formula of foot lotion. I have a 24 ounce B&G pickle jar of it in the refrigerator and a 13 ounce of it in a CVS petroleum jelly container in the bathroom to have available for use. I labeled the jar in the refrigerator with "Foot Cream 03/12", but the black magic marker will not work on the CVS petroleum jelly container in the bathroom.
I still have a pickle jar of it in the refrigerator. I would rub it on the food fungus on my feet, and tt cleared up my foot fungus after about two months. Since there is a lot of it, it does not wear off on one's socks when walking around.
If you have foot fungus underneath the toe nail, a dermatologist can get rid of it with laser treatment.

However, I discovered the older paper shredder in the bedroom does work properly. One just has to press down slightly on the machine to have it activate, since there is an overflow switch on the reverse side that needs to be pressed down. Thus I put the old paper shredder to the left side of the primary work computer, and the new paper shredder to the left side of the bedroom desk. The old paper shredder had a larger capacity.

<888> 12/02/13 Monday 1:55 A.M. I ate 8 ounces of coconut cake and a 12 ounce glass of 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale and 50% punch. I tried another cable coupler on each of the three color set of three wires, and the Haier TV still did not recognized the three color signal. That is about all of the trouble shooting I can do on that matter. I took the generic pair of speakers off the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop, and I moved them to the Dell 4600i computer in the bedroom. CIO
<888> 12/02/13 Monday 12:50 A.M. To try to get the 3 color 3 wire component feature working on the Haier TV, I tried connecting the three wires to the Sceptre TV, but it still did not work. I tried switching the Cable boxes around, but it still did not work. I called Cablevision, and they said to make sure it is on Channel 3, but when I press Channel 3, it just changes it to the Cable Box signal. All I can think of is that the three wire cable from the bedroom cable box to the Haier TV is not one continuous cable, but two cables connected with three cable connectors. Possibly one or more of the cable connectors are shorted out. I do not use the three color three wire feature but HDMI, so it is not important to dwell on at the moment. It would have give me the option of having the bedroom cable box on the living room Haier TV, since I took the 3 switch off the system, but that is not important either. CIO
<888> 12/01/13 Sunday 11:10 P.M. I took the HDMI three switch off the living room Haier TV setup. I connected the HDMI cable from the bedroom HDMI splitter to the Sceptre TV to have available on source HDMI 1. I connected the living room Sony Blue Ray Streaming device to HDMI 2 on the Haier LCD TV. To use a second HDMI Cable Box signal from the bedroom or living room to either room, one has to have the source Master Switch turned on giving power to the HDMI splitter. I took the HDMI triple switch, and I connected it to HDMI 3 on the oCosmo TV with switch 1 connected to the Memorex DVD player and switch 2 connected to the living room HDMI Cable Box. Thus one can watch either Cable box on the oCosmo LED TV. The Sceptre LED TV in the living room is set to the default living room Cable box coxial, but if the HDMI splitter is turned on from the Master Switch in the bedroom, and the Sceptre TV is changed to source HDMI 1, one can watch the bedroom cable box on it. I have one slight malfunction. The bedroom Digital Cable TV box is not sending out the three color signal for a three cable video connection on AV1 or AV2 on the Haier TV, but I never use that feature anyway. CIO
<888> 12/01/13 Sunday 9:05 P.M. Since I have Sony DVD Blue Ray steaming device connected to the living room Haier TV, I took the Memorex DVD player off the setup, and I placed it on the Subwoofer of the oCosmo TV setup plugged into the control panel and HDMI port 3. I left the other HDMI cable for the living room Cable Box feed to its side in case one wants to plug it back into HDMI 3 to watch the living room Cable Box off of it. However the Orion TV in the bedroom is also setup off the living room Cable Box, so it is a redundant that way. Thus one now can watch the Memorex DVD content on the oCosmo LED TV when its source is switch to HDMI port 3. I left the Memorex remote control on top of the Memorex DVD player. My apartment has a very good news room type setup, but I do not have much news to report. CIO
<888> 12/01/13 Sunday 8:00 P.M. I woke up at 6:30 P.M.. I ate three slices of spice cake. I watched the new oCosmo LED TV for a while. It is enjoyable viewing from the bed in the bedroom. I chatted with a relative. I can hear the local jet traffic Westchester County - AirportMonitor - by Megadata - powered by PASSUR from the Thanksgiving Holiday travelers returning. CIO

<888> 12/01/13 Sunday 3:25 P.M. I took the Sceptre 23 inch LED TV, and I put it on the oak TV tables in between the Sony television and the Haier HDTV in the living room. I connected power to it with the Phillips squid power strip. I took the Logitech 2.1 speaker system off the Dell 4600i computer in the bedroom, and I hooked it up to Sceptre 23 inch LED TV headset jack and to the Philips squid power strip. I connected the Sceptre 23 inch LED TV with a coaxial splitter to the Digital TV cable box. I put the remote control in front of it. It works just fine for an extra TV. One turns on the power to the speakers and TV with the Philips squid power strip. One can watch a different channel at the same time off the bedroom Digital Cable Box with the oCosmo Bedroom Power Control Centre turned on with the Haier TV set to HDMI 2 and the three port HDMI switch set to the bedroom HDMI cable instead of the Sony Streaming Media device or the Memorex DVD player. I ate one ounce of almonds. CIO

<888> 12/01/13 Sunday 12:55 P.M. I have the oCOSMO 32-Inch 720p 60Hz LED HDTV (Glossy Black) hooked up in the bedroom. It looks just great and sounds just great with the 2.1 speaker system plugged into the SPDIF jack. In attaching the stand, I was short two of the four flat head screws, but I had two similar ones in my tool box. HDMI 1 is for the Digital Cable Box, HDMI 2 is for the Sony Stream Media device, HDMI 3 is connected to Memorex DVD player, when the master switch is turned on the living room TV set enabling the HDMI splitter. I chatted with a local walker and a relative. I have it all hooked up to the control panel which I control with the master switch which turns on the speaker, TV, and HDMI splitter all at the same time. CIO

In the 1970s in Manhattan, hippies from Vermont use to sell live Christmas Trees on First Avenue on the east side of the street between 50th and 51st street in the Beekman Place area. The same hippies from Vermont use to also sell live Christmas Trees at Broadway and West 72nd Street on the North West Corner. However, live Christmas Trees can be a fire hazard, so more than 75% of the people now use artificial Christmas Trees.
