Be an 11: The Pond makeover
http://therighttowin.blogspot.com/2008/08/pond-makeover.html
Sunday, August 3, 2008. I love sitting by the pond listening to the sound of water, especially after work with my favorite distiled water and a nice cigar. I laid all the brick and even built the picnic table, with my own 9 fingers. Another before photo. I haven't remodeled the pond for about 6 years. The after photo. I took out one pump and replaced one. It uses WAY less. Electricity. Don't really like how the blue hose shows but it will have to-do for now. You can Call me AL. American Bred, BagWine Fed.

Be an 11: McCain seeks special 'fair use' copyright rules for VIPs
http://therighttowin.blogspot.com/2008/10/mccain-seeks-special-fair-use-copyright.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2008. However, instead of calling for an overhaul of the much hated law, McCain is calling for VIP treatment for the remixes made by political campaigns. With 11 homes and 13 cars, it's not terribly surprising that McCain is calling for special treatment for the YouTube videos of politicians. As for the "fair use" claims of the poor starving masses: Let them eat cake. Although the focus of the coverage. All claims of fair use are equal- yet some claims are more equal than others.

Be an 11: A Life in Sports
http://therighttowin.blogspot.com/2008/07/life-in-sports.html
Saturday, July 12, 2008. A Life in Sports. It has been many years since my first coaching job, and I have seen many student athletes come and go. Perhaps it is fitting that I pause for a moment and look back on those years and at the sea of faces that looked at me as I spoke and with whom I spent so much time, so many days. In short, he made the team, not because he lacked an arm, but because he had aggressiveness, fortitude, courage, and a great deal of talent. Unfortunately, our line did not hold, and ...

Friday, April 11, 2008. To be away so long but work has really kept me busy. I am happy to report to all the tax payers out there, You are getting your monies worth out of this public parasite! The students made their deadline for the yearbook and it looks good, just wish it had a bit more writing. The WASC. Review of the school also went well, WE KICKED ASS! We don't know how long of an accreditation we will receive from WASC. We just know it will more than 2 years. 8217;t put forth my best effort in ev...

Be an 11: Dear Son,
http://therighttowin.blogspot.com/2008/08/dear-son.html
Saturday, August 16, 2008. When I was a teenager I wished, just as you do now, that my dad could be my best friend. However, it wasn’t until my time to be a father came up that I understood why my wish would never come true. There is the big difference between a friend’s role and father’s role. A father who tries to be a best friend can’t be a real father. To be a friend is voluntary. It’s an option. To be a father is a privilege, but above all it’s a moral obligation. You can Call me AL. For Pity Sake(a...

Be an 11: The norms of business
http://therighttowin.blogspot.com/2008/08/norms-of-business.html
Friday, August 8, 2008. The norms of business. Roy, a service rep, is told one of the salesmen forgot to send an order for window blinds to the factory and, as a result, they won’t be available for another ten days. Roy is asked to call Jenny, the customer, and tell her the blinds won’t be delivered on the date promised. Roy has a decision to make: What should he tell the customer? Should Roy be praised or penalized? His little white lie yielded great dividends and was well within the norms of business.

Be an 11: June 2008
http://therighttowin.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2008. People labeled as “enemy combatants”. I found this story in my morning read and had to share. In a split decision, the Supreme Court recently ruled that people labeled as “enemy combatants” confined at the military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, must be given limited access to federal courts. Before I talk about the ethical issues involved, it’s helpful to review another major detention situation. Three years later, though the war was still raging, a Supreme Court ruling induced t...

Be an 11: May 2008
http://therighttowin.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 19, 2008. I have been watching and reading with interest reports about an impending crisis in the world. The crisis is starvation, caused by a limited availability of wheat and rice. It upsets me as I take in these stories that I don't care more, that I don't feel more compassion. For instance, this year in California, an additional 600,000 acre feet of water will be dumped out into the ocean in an environmental "take" rather than used for farming. That is 600,000 acre-feet! You can Call me AL.
