Happy Hibernation Day Everyone ! Now here is something you'll really like........

They said it wasn't possible, they said it could never happen, they even said Crow had retired to an island a few yards off the coast of Madagascar where he raises penguins for sport and pleasure.

But it is possible, it has happened and the rumors of Crow's retirement have been mostly misleading and in some cases harmful to the reputation of genuine penguin farmers.

MST3K is coming back and it is up to you to make that comeback a roaring success.

Joel Hodgson is doing his part, I have done my part, please do your part to raise the funds needed to create 12 brand new full length episodes of MST3K and launch the Satellite of Love into Orbit for what could be 100's of more episodes.

Go to the MST3K Kickstarter Project and help us get to 5.5 Million Dollars so Joel and the Bots can create 12 more episodes. We are getting there fast but we need your help to make it all the way.

Bring Back MST3K - Kickstarter.com

I have been a big fan of MST3K for around 25 years now and I see this as an opportunity of a life time to be a part in resurrecting this cultural icon for a new generation. Lets bring MST3K back.

Now a few words from my friend and yours..........

And the Fans go Wild !!!!

HiDeeHo everyone. In case you don't know me, I am Crow T. Robot and I am excited by the sheer excited excitement of all the MST3K fans and fanettes out there. They have already pledged over Two Million dollars in only a short few days to bring back three brand spanking new episodes of MST3k in all it outer orbit glory.

But we need the full 5.5 Million dollars to make all 12 new episodes and convince the omnipotent "Executives" that the fans of MST3K are a force to be reckoned with or at the very least a force worth giving us the show we all loved and adored.

When you make a pledge of tiny little dollar bills you get some fantastic rewards, but more importantly you will help me get back in my theater chair where I spent the happiest days of my life.

Please help me Riff again.

Who wants to retire when we are so close to bringing MST3K back.

Recently Dick Clark passed away. It seems lately that many of the people that were a remote part of my life, and by remote I mean television, have been signing off the air permanently.

It is a different time in ones life when the people you have loved or even been entertained by begin leaving this earthly existence. The world slowly becomes a more lonely place. You never really see it coming nor can you prepare for it. It sneaks up on you slowly. One by one they go away.

As I thought about all the famous people I grew up with that were on television it occurred to me that television, at one time or another, also provided opportunities for "fame", with a small "F" and a small "ME", for the not so famous.

In speaking with my Mom about Dick Clark's passing she told me she had been on the television show American Bandstand with Dick Clark back in the Fifties dancing her little heart out. She can still dance circles around me, I have no idea where she gets the energy.

My wife, when she was a tiny tyke was on the "Romper Room" television show in Chicago in the Sixties and I am certain she was the best "Do-Bee" of them all. ( I have to say that because she reads this Blog.)

As for me, I had my 15 minutes or less (probably closer to several minutes) of fame being on the "Uncle Gus Show" that was on WMUR-TV in the late Sixties or early Seventies, my memory is a bit hazy as the exact decade. Of course, I stole the show, at least in my own young mind, by catching all the whiz-rings, naming all the States on the map and winning a few other things. When I left I had a huge armload of prizes!

Recently I had another small claim to fame , although not televised. As you will recall, I accidently blew up a Lithium battery in my eye and was rushed to the emergency room by the EMTs. A friend's daughter has been training to be an EMT and during one of the training sessions they were teaching how to set up a make shift setup for flushing out eyes. They said they recently had someone have a battery explode in their eye and they were teaching the procedure they figured out during the emergency. She immediately knew who it was they were talking about. It will now be apart of official procedures. I hope they call it the "Xinfinitum Procedure". :-)

DTAMP has been moving along very slowly. Hopefully a breakthrough will come one of these days.

It has been a while since I updated the DTAMP blog. It has been a long recovery from the surgery and I am still on the mend. At this point I do not feel like I will ever get my strength back.

I have been in the process of transferring over everything to the new computer system I was given.

After 8 years of using the old system, as well as sofware that was 10 years old or older, it has been difficult to rebuild everything and transfer the data as well as learn all new software.

I will show some pictures of the "Computer Crisis" in this and other posts.

In the meantime, I did collect some funds to add to the DTAMP stake. You can see the last few months in the Timeline.

It has taken me many months to begin to get caught up to everything that has fallen behind during my recovery, but hopefully I am back in the saddle again and can stay on the DTAMP horse.

Here is a picture of the new computer and monitor. I did not realize how much work it was going to be to change from the old to the new, nor how much time it was going to take to do it.

Encore Edition of the Avaratec CMOS Battery Fiasco

As you may remember earlier this year I was attempting to change a CMOS battery in an older Avaratec Model 4100 Series Laptop and it exploded into my right eye... "Lithium Battery Explosion"

Fortunately, no permanent damage was done and I can see ok, as well as can be expected from over 50 year old eyeballs.

Anyways, I still was determined to find a replacement battery but ran into nothing but road blocks. I couldn't find one that was compatible and the emergency room took the leads and plug from the old battery. The only one I could find was over $50.00 and even that was questionable.

So I took a risk and looked on Ebay and bought something that looked kind of similar for just $1.99 . I figured that even if I was wrong I was only out a few dollars and maybe I could solder the leads to the computer.

I was also working on other alternatives at the time. I had an old motherboard sitting around and it still had the CMOS battery holder soldered to it. I removed it and was going to jury rig that if the new battery didn't work.

I got the new battery and it fit perfectly. Problem solved.

I am writing this blog in case there is anyone out there that has an Avaratec Model 4100 and needs a CMOS battery to replace here is how to find one and other data to dig one up:

"Ebay CR2032 IBM CMOS Battery"

"Laptopz-Outlet ( 264005 )"

"Visit my store:Laptopz-Outlet"

CR2032 IBM CMOS Battery 08K8216 08K8050 92P0986 02K6541

Introduction:
Brand New IBM ThinkPad Real Time Clock Battery (RTC) CMOS BIOS BACKUP
Coin cell battery with two wires two pin connector.

Features:

FRU-02K6572, 92P0991, 92P0986
Will fix the following error codes:
0250: systems battery error
0251: System CMOS checksum bad
0260: System Timer error
0270: Real-Time Clock Error
Weight:0.03
Volts:3V

As you can see the battery is compatible with an IBM ThinkPad and also works on the Avaratec Model 4100 as well.

Another bit of info: The bag the CMOS Battery came had the number N7G04S on it.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Double A Penny - Step 20 - I Survived

How To Double Your Way To A Million In 28 StepsDTAMP - Double To A Million Plan Blog

It has been one month since the day of my surgery. I did survive to continue the fight for another day, in life, love and the struggle to complete DTAMP.

It was a difficult surgery. My surgeon was the best around but even he was baffled when they opened me up and found a strange organ that they couldn't identify, where no organ should be.

They decided to continue with the operation and soon discovered that the organ was one of my kidneys. It seems I had what is called a pelvic kidney. For some reason it had either moved way down into my pelvic area or I was born that way. It turned out that the choice I made for a bag was the only way it could have been done because of the pelvic kidney. The other two choices would not have worked.

After the surgery the first night was difficult as I would stop breathing and the nurses had to stay with me all night to keep waking me to tell me to breath when I fell asleep every 45 seconds to a minute.

The hospital stay was difficult for a number of reasons but the worst was the smell. Some drug they were giving me made things stink so bad I couldn't stand it. Even though I could barely walk I would hide in the little bathroom in my hospital room because that was the only place that didn't smell bad. I only slept for about an hour every 24 hours because of the smell.

I couldn't eat or drink very much so I lost 10 pounds. I was so happy to go home.

On the way home we had an automobile accident. A school bus decided to cut in front of us then slammed on the brakes when she was half in our lane. She said she didn't think she could make it so she stopped. It ruined our car. The police came. I was not feeling to good at that point. I was really barely able to come home.

Then later on the highway some pickup truck dropped a large object in the road, people were swerving to avoid it but someone hit it. It exploded into dozens of pieces and seemingly by magic they all gathered themselves together and came at us from the other lane and hitting our car making very bad crunching sounds all underneath.

It was all pretty scary. I admit I was scared to go into the surgery that day. Not only that but the night before Hurricane Irene was coming and they said it was going to be as bad as 1938 storm. My dad used to tell me stories about that storm and how his Mother carried him over her head in deep water with 12 other kids trailing behind her.

My thoughts were who is going to protect my house, the paper work in the basement is not replaceable, we are in such trouble. I didn't expect to have to fight a hurricane as well as go through the surgery. My basement did flood a little but our kind neighbor came over and got the water up.

Things have been slowly improving over the last month and I am on a lot of pain killers and medicine.

The truth of the matter is that I was dying. The doctor indicated that the pathology report showed that I not only had bladder cancer but there was also a tumor in the prostate as well.

But nothing was found in the surrounding area and the doctor feels that the surgery was curative. The cancer is gone and he was looking forward to seeing me run the marathon next year.

I am grateful for all the people that have helped us as we went through this. People sent cards and balloons, visited and called, made food for us and helped protect our home during Irene.

I do not like wearing this bag on me. I have nightmares of being trapped inside some cyber machine suit and will never be able to get out of it. I have lots of dreams of trying to escape something.

But I am alive and will continue to fight the good fight.

Sadly, as you can see from the timeline, I took a huge hit with a stock trade and lost a large portion of the DTAMP stake. It has been a big discouragement but as in all things I have to stand back up and keep moving forward.

Double A Penny - Step 20 - Bad Things Are Happening

noreply@blogger.com (Xinfinitum) — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 22:29:00 +0000

How To Double Your Way To A Million In 28 StepsDTAMP - Double To A Million Plan Blog

I haven't been updating the Blog because I have been under a lot of stress and going through a medical crisis.

My doctor informed me that the next step in stopping the cancer was to remove my bladder/prostate and surrounding lymph nodes. He suggested I get a second opinion. I did and after that I got a third opinion from a doctor/surgeon at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

I was fortunate to be able to get in to see the doctor at Dana-Farber without a referral and in only four days. I was also helped by a couple at my church who took me there several times, once to see the doctor and once for an MRI. The man in the couple has stage four cancer in the bones.

The surgeon determined from the pathology and the MRI I will need my bladder out. I am not happy about this. In fact I am horrified.

I will need to wear a bag to collect the urine for the rest of my life and I am not that old. This is a nightmare that I cannot wake up from.

It is being scheduled for sometime in August. I have always been healthy and tried to do the right things. I didn't do anything that they say could cause bladder cancer like smoking or working with chemicals. It doesn't run in my family.

I am uncertain how things will progress from here as far as DTAMP or posting in this blog.

I also had an accident last week as well.

I took out the CMOS battery out of my wife's laptop computer because the BIOS settings were not holding. The hard drive is going and the S.M.A.R.T. detector will not let me boot up. I can change the SMART setting but that setting is resetting itself each time.

It was a Lithium Battery about the size of a quarter and had two leads attached to it.

I had an extra battery so I figured I would solder on the leads and reinstall it. It didn't work out that way.

Not being able to see up close I took off my glasses and got about four inches away from the battery as I soldered the leads on. I had just got the second lead on when the battery exploded and threw lithium, acid and solder into my right eye. It was very painful and I couldn't see out of it. I was in big trouble as I was home alone and live out in the sticks.

I ran to the bathroom and I could see that there was black lithium penetrating my eye ball, burning me, as well as pieces all over in my eye. In addition I was cut and burned on my forehead and my cheek.

I started to throw water in my eye and trying to figure out what to do next. I knew I wasn't going to be able to drive for over twenty minutes to get to the hospital so I decided to call 911 and get help. They said that an ambulance was on the way. I called my wife and left a message saying a battery exploded in my eye and the ambulance was on the way.

I had saved some squirt caps from Poland Springs bottles and went and got it and started to squirt a lot of water into my eye. The EMTs got there in about 10 minutes, which is fast for getting to my house.

They jury rigged a continuous eye wash and brought me to the emergency room.

At the hospital they put some kind of flush thing which was like a big contact in my eye and began flushing. In all I used at least six bags of saline solution and there was a lot of lithium that came out.

My wife had called a friend and she closed her store and was at the hospital in a very short period of time to help me. Now that is a friend!!

My wife got to me about an hour or so later. She had to leave work and drive a long way to get to me. She had horrible ideas of my eye half hanging out. I wasn't specific at all in the phone call.

I was in the E.R. for about 4 hours with a lot of tests being done on my eye. Then I was sent to an Ophthalmologist for an emergency visit several towns away. He examined the eye and did some things I cannot remember. I was pretty much in shock during the entire time. I thought I was going to lose my eyesight in that eye.

He said it would heal ok and gave me some steroid drops. Within three days my eye cleared up and most of my wounds healed. But one wouldn't. I discover a small lithium particle in the wound that kept burning the flesh. After I got that out it healed up.

There are several morals of the story.

One, always wear eye protection when working on projects. One's eyesight is priceless and everything needs to be done to protect it. I have always took to many risks and have been fortunate from the various accidents I have had.

Two, sometimes it doesn't pay to be too frugal. That computer battery cost me over $140.00 in medical bills and the fireman took the leads and almost everything so I am having trouble replacing the battery. My wife's new laptop arrived today.

Three, don't be cheap and if you have to call for an ambulance, the faster you get help the better. I was thinking how expensive the ambulance would be while my eye was filled with burning lithium and battery acid. Of course I didn't think that very long, I may be cheap but not crazy.

Four, know the technology you are working on. I was not aware that lithium is explosive when heated. After all of this I do recall reading an article about the lithium batteries in cars exploding or something like that. I wasn't up to date on what I was working on and it bit me. In the old days I used to solder to batteries all the time and had no problems but technology changes and I needed to keep studying to avoid mistakes.

The next day we had to clean up the house of lithium. It was everywhere in my office. The explosion propelled it all over the place then I tracked it to different rooms in the house.

I will never forget that unique smell of lithium.

Here is the only piece the EMTs missed of what was left of the battery.

April was a slow month for DTAMP. I have been recovering from a sinus/ear infection and the third Flu since January. It was a rough winter. My immune system must have been weakened with all the cancer treatments/surgeries or something.

Some progress was made during April despite the above.

I managed to get $35.00 in "SwagBucks". Click the link and join. I have done fairly well with it without really trying very hard. I would say it has been one of the easiest ways I have made extra money on the web. It accumulates fast.

I also got $100.00 by opening up a credit card for DTAMP.

Found a dime ($0.10) on the floor of a Supermarket.

Finally, I was given a pouch of change from a benefactor who was collecting it up for DTAMP in the amount of $11.30 . Thank you for your generous support!

The computer gremlin played an April Fools joke on me on the 1st of the month by doing something bad to my C:/ Drive and making it nearly impossible to get into my computer. It was the one of the worst situations I have seen in all the years I have worked on computer systems.

But over the course of a week I managed to get back in and was able to salvage all of my files and emails, etc. But the hard drive was a gone-ner. My computer turned seven years old in March and I think it is trying to tell me it is past its prime. In computer years it is an antique.

It is still not as old as my Radio Shack Color Computer which still runs fine but is measured more in the realm of a Stonehenge timeline.

It seems the more one looks around the more one notices that times are changing rapidly.

I was remembering when the big catch phrase was "Your Fired!" from Donald Trump. Those were the days when there were more jobs, a perception of greater prosperity and getting fired from a job was more of a novelty than the real disaster it was, at least from a Television viewpoint.

So I was wondering what the catch phrase would be from Donald in today's terms and I tried to capture that in the image below.

I suppose it is a matter of political correctness because if Mr. Trump tried to go around today and say "Your Fired" it probably wouldn't get the same kind of response it did in years gone by. Can you say "Tar and Feather" .

Now, I may be wrong and he may still be saying it, but I have noticed the distinct absence of the statement lately.

DTAMP Update: Since my last update on March 18th, 2011, DTAMP has found three pennies ($0.03) and sold five Amazon cards from SwagBucks collected for the amount of $25.00 .

The disaster in Japan has caused a lot of misery for its people. A 9.0 Earthquake, 30 foot Tsunami, Ten Thousand or more people perishing, people suffering without electricity, food, water, heat and other basic essential, Nuclear reactors in a meltdown scenario, the fear of radiation spreading.

Indirectly, I have been affected by the disaster in Japan and DTAMP has as well.

I was in a trade with all the DTAMP funds in the shipping stock "EGLE" before the catastrophe in Japan and the stock dropped giving me substantial loses. I was also in personally in the stock and this was the second big drop I endured since last November. I could not risk any more with the DTAMP funds so I bailed out.

DTAMP had its own Meltdown, losing $517.11 and setting it back for the second time in two years with big stock losses.

It is very discouraging. I sold on St. Patrick's Day. There was no Green to be found only RED!!

Here is the rundown of the equities trade.

DTAMP Equities Plan Report:

02/07/11 - Buy - 1062 shares of EGLE @ $4.13 p/s - Total $4386.06
03/17/11 - Sold - 1062 shares of EGLE @ $3.66 p/s - Total $3886.92

Total (-$499.14) - ($17.97) Fees = (-$517.11)Net Gain of (-11.76584)% in the Amount of (-$517.11)
There is a long road ahead to rebuild DTAMP. Although my loss is nothing to compare with the poor victims of the disaster in Japan, I can identify, at least in a very tiny way, with the heartbreak of things being lost suddenly.

My heart and prayers go out to the people of Japan in their desperate time of need.

I had surgery on February 24th and heard from the doctor on Monday that they did not find any cancer from the biopsy! It is such a relief. The red area in the bladder was smaller which is good as well.

I asked how often I would need to go in for these surgeries and he said every three months. If they do not find any cancer over the next year then it will be bumped up to every four months then the following year every six months. Hopefully it will go out to only once a year eventually.

The last blog post was an advertisement that brought in $96.80 for DTAMP which was a big help. I am only $500.97 away from reaching Step 21 at this point.

The "Doubler's Den Forum" will remain online for another year! Please visit it and support it financially in whatever way you can so that it can remain a place for Doublers to gather. Thanks.

Who is the Best Source of Personal Loans?
Most people never see it coming. An emergency comes up and within a few seconds they are out of cash. It could be a car accident. It might be someone in the family who is in desperate need. Or you figure out you need a mental health break with a trip somewhere. All require cash, perhaps dollars that do not exist in a bank account after paying bills (or maybe even before). This is a time that calls for personal loans – but where are the best places for finding personal loans?

The money could come from a credit card. But maybe that’s not an option for you (and it’s not always a good option anyway). You might need to make some calls or send some emails. Consider your options:

Borrow from friends or family. No one wants to owe money to their father, sister or uncle. And it can get even stickier when you owe cash to a friend. If you do borrow money from any of them, be sure to write up a note that explains the debt, when you’ll pay it back and how much interest they will get from you. In the meantime, be very, very nice to that person.

Borrow from “that guy.” Some might call him a loan shark. He’s just the guy with the cash and the plan for lending it to you. He’ll charge a lot more than any legitimate source of funds (except perhaps your sister?), and you better be sure to hit the repayment date on the nose – else you might get hit back, on the nose.

Borrow from yourself. Huh? How do you do that? Actually, one of the best sources of personal loans are from a paycheque cash advance. This is where you borrow up to $1500 (depending on how much you earn) from the lender (an online personal loans company). You promise to pay it back via an account debit on a certain date in the near future (after you get your next paycheque).

In any case, you have options. Choose carefully!

Since the beginning of 2011 the "Doubler's Den Forum" has been under Spammer Attack!

In fact, the Doubler's Den member count has doubled since January 1st and they are still coming. Going up over 713 registrations. We had to change the method of registering for forum membership as a result of the massive spam attack by the cockroaches of the internet.

You can find out how to join by going here ----> "Follow These Procedures To Join the Forum"

Doubler's Den Forum has been around for nearly four years now beginning on January 19th, 2007 , with the Official Public Launch taking place on January 31st, 2007 9:29pm EST. There has been discussion that it may not be able to continue. The forum has been unable to pay for itself up to this point and with the ongoing war against the relentless spammers, it may go the way of the Dodo. It remains to be seen.

If you want to support the forum please post and look at the advertising. Every little bit helps.

The DTAMP stake has been growing a bit. I traded in 2,700 SwagBucks to get six $5.00 Amazon Cards which I in turn sold for $30.00.

DTAMP has also graduated to another level of maturity and I am looking into applying for a credit card just for the Experiment. That may buy the stake another $100.00, we shall see.

Trading stocks has been slow and difficult with many mistakes being made along the way.

Until next time!

Another year is about to begin. This last year has been a very difficult one for many people, I know it has been a life and death struggle for me, literally.

I am hopeful though that this year is going to be a peaceful, prosperous, blessed year in many ways. I cannot be sure how it will go and there is trepidation about the new years approach and all its possible consequences. But I will face it with all the hope and faith I can muster.

My wife and I went out for Chinese Dinner today to celebrate making it through 2010 alive and to look forward to the new year. Here is my fortune from my fortune cookie. I thought it was very appropriate.

December was fairly successful for DTAMP. I managed to sell the guitar that was received as a gift for $67.00 and I got out of a trade I have been stuck in for almost two months and squeaked by making $65.84. I also found some change on the ground at various places. You can see more about the details in the Time-Line.

We also celebrated Christmas with a few gifts. Most years we do not get much, a chocolate orange in a stocking, a few pieces of clothing, only absolute needed items. But this year my wife decided to get me something I have been wanting and casually mentioning for ten years. A Video Camera. She got me a JVC Everio.

It was a super Christmas and it is going to be a super New Year. I hope.

Last Tuesday I went for another (Number Four) cancer surgery. It went fairly smoothly. The doctor said he did not find any tumors or growths but there was a red area. He took a Biopsy.

I got a call Friday morning from the doctor and he said that there was no cancer! The red area was just cystitis, an inflammation of the wall caused by the BCG treatments.

I am very blessed. The cancer is gone.

I will still need to go back every three months for a Cystoscopy to check it out. They will need to keep an eye on me. Eventually, hopefully the procedures will spread further apart to once a year. But that will take awhile. I will not be getting anymore BCG treatments for which I am so thankful. Hurray!!

I am grateful to many. Number one of course is My best friend, Jesus. He is always saving me from something, sin, sickness, foolish decisions, physical death, eternal death, you know the usual. Thank You Jesus!!

Plus I learned and changed a lot through this suffering, turning this from something horrible into something sweet. God always seems to do that, He is Faithful.

I am grateful to my wife, who has stuck by me, every moment, praying and caring for me. She is the greatest.

To all the people that have been praying for me and supporting me all around the world. My family, my Mom and My Son, my relatives, my wife's parents and family. Other people I didn't even know. They came out of the woodwork to minister, pray, encourage, just be there for me. Thank you.

To my doctor who is a great guy. He was always realistic yet optimistic. His humor and openness to my faith and beliefs encouraged me. The first thing he said before the surgery was "I don't want to offend you, but I really don't want to see you as much anymore." :-) He is getting his wish.

I am grateful to the two pastors and prayer team and others at the church I have been going to.

On Tuesday I got a card in the mail from the prayer team with the scripture:

He spoke, and they were healed - snatched from the door of death. Psalm 107:20 (TLB)

I feel I have been snatched from the door of death. I feel very blessed.

In conclusion, allow me to say the words I just love to say: "No Cancer!"

Yesterday, I finally received a check from ClickBank for $43.52 . It has taken awhile to meet their criteria and get the commissions on the sales made from this blog.

They took the commissions on one sale completely and took charges for sending me a check as well has held back funds to cover any returns, which I will probably lose to them eventually because of their rules. But at least I was able to squeak out the majority of the funds to add to DTAMP.

Last Monday I got through the last of the second set of six BCG Cancer Treatments! I am glad they are over and am hopeful that the cancer is gone and will not return.

I am back over the $4000.00 mark for the DTAMP stake. Hopefully some new financial opportunities will come to keep adding to the stake. Step 21 is now only $999.51 away.
