I think the most telling thing about society today is that there is no "cents" symbol left on the keyboard any more! Especially since everyone keeps throwing their 2 in.

(Lighten up - this is a little comic relief).

All of a sudden everyone  is a conservative,10 years ago we all were liberal,a real Flower power,left wing nut. Now we lives in whitelandia. Our kids do not know what a black person looks like. My kids are the same way. The older we get, the more our veiws move to the right. LBJ`s vision of a great society has turned generations of minorites into wards of the state. I see that in the minds of my employees, They worry if they make to much money their wives will get thrown off the welfare roles. Its a pretty sad sight. I dont know what this subject has to do with anything thats going on with this board.I just felt like throwing my 2 cents in.

Ok, maybe I lost my cool there for a while.

I really thought you believed what you were writing.

I also have been involved with the ICCA www.icca.org, and have seen hundreds of people out of work. This is directly related to H1-B. I have spoken with a lot of unemployed and angry colleagues who believe we can repeal H1-B.

So, I have been in the trenches with this issue and that is why I am passionate about it.

I created this site for fun, not to argue with old friends. Now Phil, send me a few BC buds....

Mike,

Maybe you should get together with Phil and smoke some of his BC bud. You writing comes off like you are very stressed. Almost beyond reason.

Asshole, dumb, ignorant. You use these terms and apply them to me. I write from the heart and mind and never show any disrespect to your point, just the other side of the coin and sometimes the same side. This is debate for fun and you can't help but get down on me as a person. Makes me wonder what and how you treat other people that disagree with you.

The world is made up of billions of different perspectives, most of which have value when you can look at them with an open mind. If you disagree with me that's fine but I see no reason for you to show me a lack of respect as a person. What have you become in your older age Mike? Have you lost all tolerance for people that don't believe what you believe? If so, that is really sad. I do hope somewhere in there you still have a sense of humor.

You seem to really care about this H1B stuff, much more than I do. Even still, my feelings about you as a person aren't going to change because I MAY think differently on a subject (for all you know I may really agree with you, debate for fun). If you can't discuss politics and/or religion and keep your head, I will know in the future not to debate with you. No fun being called an asshole by someone just because he doesn't agree with me.

Here's to the mystical laws of cause and effect (karma)

Joel -

Do you make this shit up as you type, or is it stream of consciousness from a recent flashback?

Of course younger workers from India are willing to work for less. The average annual salary in India is less than half of what Americans can make. These guys come here and live 5 to an apt. The Indian agencies who bring them here treat them like garbage, and most of them can't code or speak the language.

Of course a young worker out of college will make less than a person with 20 years experience. What is your point?

Understand this: The H1-B program is NOT about filling positions because companies cannot find the talent. It is about the likes of Bill Gate's bottom line. There is much documentation to prove this.

You state that the Govt should not be telling companies who to hire? We are in agreement, and that is why H1-B is bullshit. The Govt should not encourage this by granting special privledges to companies.

Getting old has nothing to do with any of this. It is affecting University programs because potential Comp Sci students feel they won't be able to get work. IT people who are 30 are feeling this as well.

Open your eyes to the current world. Flower power died a long time ago - before Mr. Sherman.

Mike’s article “A related consequence of the H-1B program's short-circuiting of the American labor market is the disposal of older workers. With a large pool of young H-1B workers unwilling to make too many demands of their employers, older American programmers face enormous obstacles. The evidence of age discrimination is undeniable, resulting in careers cut unnaturally short. It's very difficult for most programmers to get programming work after they pass the age of 40. “

Joel: Most programmers at the age of 40 find themselves overpriced and under equipped for the new technology. Younger people will replace them, does not matter where they are from, they will be replaced. Always have been, always will be. Technology has always been a young mans (or womans) game. Sorry, but that is the way it is.

Mike’s article “According to an analysis by professor Matloff published by the Center for Immigration Studies, the percentage of computer-science graduates working in software development drops sharply over time. Five years after finishing college, about 60% of computer-science graduates are working as programmers. Twenty years after college, when most are in their early 40s, the number falls to 19%. “

Joel: Good point. All of the really good computer science graduates stop programming as soon as they can because they get an opportunity to do something better. Programming is an entry-level position in technology land. No one should plan on doing it for a long time, unless they want to be a contractor. Again, programming is for young people. My dad lost his job at 50 because all he know was cobal and people did not want cobal programmers any more. Most programmers over 40 do not know the latest, greatest programming languages or tools.

Mike’s article “This rapid attrition is in sharp contrast to other fields that employ fewer foreign workers: 52% of people who majored in civil engineering, for instance, are in the same field 20 years later--more than double the rate for computer-science majors. The perverse result is that a programmer is considered "senior" with just five years or so of experience--in other words, before the age of 30!”

Joel: Again, good point but it has nothing to do with H1B workers. It has to do with the fact that technology is a young person’s game. It was 30 years ago, 15 years ago, now and 5-10 years from now. Most of the people running my company are 5 – 10 years younger than me. That is the way it is. Has nothing to do with H1B. I do not believe the government should be in the business of telling businesses who, what or when to hire people.

Mike’s article “Thus, older programmers, who have the potential for more productive years of work, are forced into other work, in a kind of domestic "brain drain" that wastes the talents of American workers. This brain drain is both caused by and compensated for by a brain drain from overseas, especially India and China, that fosters dependence on foreign resources. Given the importance of technology not only to our economy but also to our nation's security, is it wise to promote dependence on the flow of programmers from abroad?”

Joel: Again, good, true point to a degree. Older workers are forced out of their jobs by younger workers who are willing to do the same job for less with new, better skills. They can be from Idaho or India, but they are there.

Bottom line, the issue here is older workers getting re-placed by smarter, cheaper younger workers. It sucks getting older, doesn’t it. Get used to it.

I am not surprised that Joel did not respond to my question on how he feels about the HR 3222 bill from my last post. http://www.cedaily.com/bbs/horror/index.cgi?read=1330

Joel -

No one said to close the borders. Should the INS and its policies be revamped - absolutely. Should we hire foreigners to take over American's jobs during a downturn in our economy? What do you think? If you were the one doing the job seeking I know what you'd think.

As far as H1Bs go, here is my concrete answer. This bill was well thought, is well worded and will help folks with your mind-state see reality. I urge you to read it thoroughly before you respond: http://www.cedaily.com/bbs/horror/index.cgi?read=1330

You can live your life in a cave and remain happy. That is your decision. You can choose not to listen to hard facts. That is also your decision. But, when several different sources of evidence prove the statistics, ignoring the evidence is not smart. Evidence is hard data. I pointed you to several sources. All you can come up is your own jaded beliefs. That is not hard data. IT IS YOUR BELIEFS.

The original supporters of H1-Bs are silent these days. Does that tell you something?

Several folks in Congress are supporting a bill that limits H1-Bs based on the unemployment rate. Does that tell you something?

Or, are you still going to quote that same old cliche about blacks and Jews that was timely in 1950.

All of this hit home last weekend when my daughter's soccer coach (who is a C++, JAVA programmer) asked if he could give me his resume. He has been umemployed for 3 months.

All,

My point in all of this, is that labels just don't work. Liberal, conservative, etc. I base my beliefs on my experiences not what politicans or professors say. Is the H1B program hurting America? Probably yes and probably no. Depends on who you ask.

To quote one of my favorite opening lines from a book, "It was the best of times, It was the worst of times". This is the human condition. Ying, yang. Good, evil, Light, dark. Heads, tails. Depends which side of the coin you land on.

All I want from me and you is to not be so closed minded that you lose sight of the situations that are really going on. Since 9/11 I have percieved an incredible amount of mind closing from some on this site. Yes, some people and events really suck. But, I truley believe that most people just want to get along, have a place to live, some food to eat and if they have kids, some future for them.

I know you guys are really sensitive to "liberal" propaganda, but, the real enemy of the world is ignorance and hate, not indians, asians or muslims.

And, by the way, I really don't think Bill Gates need the H1B program to make money. Microsoft has made more Americans into millionaires than any other company in our history. My bussies that work there are not in jeopardy from the H1B program. That seems to be the point. If the H1B program hurts you, you are probably against it.

Hard facts - The fiscal year 2002 limit for family-sponsored preference immigrants determined in accordance with Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is 226,000. The fiscal year 2002 limit for employment-based preference immigrants calculated under INA 201 is 142,632. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,804 for FY-2000. The dependent area limit is set at 2%, or 7,373.

OK, we let some people from other countries come here to work. Is this really so bad? should we not let anyone come here to work? How should this be played out? You guys point out the problems, give me some solutions. As Mindy said, Should we be a turtle and put our head into our shell and not participate in the game? It is so easy to say, close the door. Show some courage and come up with some solutions that help us and the rest of the world.

Or, does the rest of the world not matter anymore, since we are already here?

I like hard data -- anyone here have this data to offer?

Phil - Phil - I so totally agree w/your words its amazing. Times they-are-a-changin!

Joel - just cause I agree w/ Phil and Mike -- makes it evident that it is OK to agree to disagree and agree. Yes, Lucent gave him many items. Loads of sweatshirts, bags, wonderful exciting trips to Riyadh Saudi Arabia. But it's not the desktop product I am talking about. I am talking about the switches and the computerized items that we don't see. The stuff that is underground -- at Verizon's main stations. That is ALL LUCENT product.

In the past years I have changed my beliefs from liberal to democratic and now leaning on conservative. (Still..Vote! PRO CHOICE) and I do agree with you that..........Numbers can prove anything and politicians fight for whatever makes them have a better chance of winning the next election.

AMERICA is synonymous w/BIG CORPORATION. That is the only thing that runs this country. And Cheaper labor keeps corporations running. H1B visa?

Not true-Facts are reality. Hard data is proven to be true by actual evidence which supports that data.

Mike,

You want facts. OK, rocks are hard, water is wet and snow is cold. Those are facts. You quote politicians and professors and call them facts. Not facts, those are beliefs. Oh but they use statistics, they must be facts. Well, that makes me think of a statement my stat teacher told me back in college, "Statistics don't lie, Liars use statistics". Numbers can prove anything and politicians fight for whatever makes them have a better chance of winning the next election.

My beliefs (what you can call facts) come from my day to day experiences and what I learn in life. I wonder, if you folks had lived 100 years ago, would you have believed that facts about black and jews being inferior to the white race. It was a known scientific fact for 100 years. Shit, it was a fact in Germany 55 years ago. To some in America and the world it is still a fact right now.

My point being, facts are what you make them and I believe you are confusing facts with beliefs. You have your beliefs and I have mine. You can call mine bullshit, I can call yours sad. But just because the beliefs are yours does not make them facts.

Fact or belief, Open minds and tolerance are better for the human race and will improve the human condition?

And for Mindy,

Your b/f has many Lucent products in his house. Did he buy them or get them for free because he worked for them? You have to be able to get more than your employees and their relatives to buy your products to stay alive.

Joel - In my house I have but a few Lucent items. In Ken's home - He has many. In all our homes our wires contain MLT switches which is my b/f specialty. Lucent went under for many reasons. The fact is that more than half of their employees were brought in as consultants -- (Yes Mike to send money to their homeland!) and when the job lay offs begin -- these ALIENS stuck around willing to take the cheaper salary. KUDOS to your comments Phil......Mike........ Our relatives came here, were sponsored, worked their mighty assess off to give us an "American lifestyle." All my great grandmother wanted was to Americanize my grandmother. Only English to be spoken in the Yiddish speaking home! Screw the ESL programs! Today these non ENGLISH speaking immigrants want to keep to themselves -- w/o a visa-green card, free Medicaid and well... I could go on. Mike thanks for your support information. I went to the H1Bvisa petition site. It has my vote!!!!! Remember even a Dead terrorist hijackers can get visas today! Close the damn borders and keep US money in the US!

Joel - You are missing our points. When our relatives arrived here there were no special programs. Our Govt did not encourage them to come here by offering them free passes aka H1-Bs. These guys that come here live 5 to an apt, are treated like shit, make minimum wage, send the money home, and then after a few years go home. They take the knowledge that they learned here and go home. This is a long term losing proposition for our country.

The only folks that profit from this paradox is the likes of Bill Gates. He gets cheap, slave labor programmers to develop his products. That is my entire point. As a Liberal you should be appaled that companies like MSFT, IBM, LUCENT can get away with this scam. It has nothing to do with xenophobia, it is all about the bottom line at the expense of the American worker.

The plain fact is, there isn't and hasn't been any pervasive, desperate software labor shortage. There is much documentation to support this. I actually met with several senators in June at an ICCA conference in D.C. and they agreed to back H.R. 3222, the High-Tech Work Fairness and Economic Stimulus Act of 2001: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c107:H.R.3222 This bill reduces H1-Bs based on the unemployment rate. How can you disagree with that?

Change is in the works now that folks in Congress see that it is our national interest to scale back H1-Bs. The H-1B visa program was supposed to provide "temporary" workers during times of increased hiring, but failed to provide any adjustments for a downturn in the economy.

Here is an independent study from a professor at U.C. Davis (a Ca university) that proves there has never been a software labor shortage, and that H1-B is soley based on large companies wanting to make more profit at the expense of the U.S. worker: http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/itaa.real.html

Joel, why not point us to facts that back up your b.s. Maybe then you can have a serious discussion instead of throwing out dumb cliches....

Phil,

Without exception, every single person I work with, talk with, etc that has come here in the past 20 years is seeking exactly what our relatives were seeking 100 years ago. Peace, freedom and an opportunity to survie and thrive. None of them are looking for free passes. This is what scares me. You guys are believing the conservative jargon about aliens that is not really true. It was not true when our relatives came over, it was not true when the latin americans came over and it is not true about the asians and indians. 99.9% of these people just want to live and are willing to risk everything they have (not much), their lives in many, many cases and show more courage in doing this than we ever have to show.

A question for Mindy, "How many Lucent products do you own in your house?" I'll bet you have none. Lucent's problems have nothing to do with the alien invasion, they stem form one word "competition". Their problems started in 1984 when Judge Green (bless his soul) broke up the bell monopoly. Lucent, known at the time as the Bell Equipment Company, made every piece of telephone gear in the whole country with very few exceptions. Profits galore.

With the arrival of competition they found themselves in a world that they were not ready to play in. Telecommunications gear is made by just about every electronics company in the world now and is better quality and lower price than Lucent. That is why they are in trouble, not because of H1B workers.

Hey Joel I do support your "little world theory", although I doubt you can acomplish that in Ca. it's a state full of tree hugging, Mexican hating morons all kinds of uninformed extremists who are afraid of Mountain Lions and alittle bit of garbage but they demand their comforts and share of the wealth without any contribution on their part. And by the way Gray Davis is a fucking moron. I got news for you Maui ain't the answer either. You can achieve your goal in Sulewesi it's the perfect place. (look it up on a map)It makes Maui look like Brooklyn. You can probably be Mayor of you own world there. And that's fine, but you have to remember that our ancestors (relatives) that came here after 1900 got no special treatment, no programs, no nothin', and they busted their asses to build this country. NO FREE PASSES!! And futhermore these so called newcomers want to change the dynamics of this country which is contrary to my lifestyle and beliefs. As far as I'm concerned, these people are welcome here provided they earn what they get the traditional way........NO FREE PASSES!!!

The 9th. curcuit court in San Francisco says it all. Those asshole's are living in their own "little world" too. That's why California is for fuck ups.

You've got some serious adversaries on this site. Good luck in making your point. There are realities here that you seem to ignore. Joel, it's got nothing to do with New York, the "back east" mentality or anything else. Haight Ashbury and the flower children are ancient history. I enjoy the PAST just as much as you do, but the reality is, those days are over and this counrty faces threats on many fronts. It's a new world baby! Do you want to buy a refrigerator? I have good prices!! I'll give you the special VIP discount!!

Thanks alot Leibo.....You owe me big time for that Weeping Japanese Maple. I'm gonna get you!!!!!!!!! I'm not so sure it was me, since I'm not sending emails from my home PC until YOU help me clean up this virus.

Long time no write -- But I need to reflect on the latest topics here. Joel you say......... By the way, the H1B visa program has really brought some excellent people to our staff at PSFT. From my experience, if you are really good at what you do, you will have plenty of opportunity regardless of how many programmers are coming out of India.

My 0.0 (I can't find the cents key on my keyborad- help!) mindy

I know lots of people in high tech out here and not one of them has lost their jobs because someone on an H1B took there place.-------------------------------

LUCENT tech. my b/f's home for years. Prior to that AT&T Bell Labs.........DOWN THE DRAIN!! His division was bought by another tech firm. He had no choice but to go loosing a pension, and tenure, and a few thousands in salary. He went because his colleagues-the American ones- w/ Master's and PHd's couldn't get a job because of the past influx of consultants from mideastern and Asian countries. In fact, the whole damn neighborhood in the Brunswick's and Edison, NJ are workers at the Pharmaceutical companies and tech companies based in the NJ area. His downstairs neighbor an MD under disciplinary action -- live in a 2 bedroom condo -- with at least 10 family members!!!!!! Nursing Shortage--Why? To many foreigners that take the job at 1/3 the demanded salary. For a woman I don't complain about my salary. But when I graduated nursing school - I couldn't get a hospital job for months!!!!! Too many west Indian and Filipino nurses that saturated the field!

Mike,

It may be small, it sure is wonderful and yes, it is my own, but I love my little world and I really don't plan on leaving it soon (except maybe to move to Maui). That's why I left 24+ years ago.. so I could go create my very own world. You are all invited to come and live in it any time you want. No initiation fees and best of all jews and blacks are welcome.

And in regards to our good friend Greg, he found himself working for poorly managed companies and flel behind in the tech curve. It is sad but it happens. Management is a tough place to be (middle being the worst as he discoverd)when companies go south. The trick is to have a good crystal ball and see what is coming. It has worked really well for me so far.

Joel - My good friend, you are living in your own jaded world. You are also contributing to the problem. This problem has been recognized by certain folks in Congress and it is being addressed. It is serious business. Comparing it to cutting down trees is beyond ludicrous. There is a bill called H.R. 3222, the High-Tech Work Fairness and Economic Stimulus Act of 2001: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,285853,00.asp

Read what your CA Rep Zoe Lofgren is saying about this: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,274443,00.asp

This has nothing to do with skill set. It has to do with hiring cheap labor. That's a fact. It is about giving away U.S. jobs to foreigners (most of whom suck).

By the way, you know at least one person out there who is unemployed because of the H1-B scam - Our good friend Greg. Imagine that. The guy has been in IT for 25 years and can't find a job. I belong to the ICCA (www.icca.org) and there are hundreds of unemployed IT workers who are members in The Bay Area.

As I said, "You are living in your own world."

Mike,

I have been gone so long, I though all you guys were up there in the ranks of billion dollar scams. Sorry to hear that no one is. I was planning on getting involved with one myself. I guess I will just have to keep my job.

By the way, the H1B visa program has really brought some excellent people to our staff at PSFT. From my experience, if you are really good at what you do, you will have plenty of opportunity regardless of how many programmers are coming out of India.

Complaining about this is no different than the tree cutters in Oregon complaining about not being able to cut down trees. Market conditions change and people have to change with them. It may be sad but it is true.

I know lots of people in high tech out here and not one of them has lost their jobs because someone on an H1B took there place. I do know tons of people that have lost their jobs becuase they were underqualifed for them in the first place and bad management (from underqualifed managers) put their companies out of business.

Here's to having more good, smart, quailifed people from anywhere.

Joel - What planet are you from? Of course the Enron, Worldcomm scans effect us all. When the market tumbles so does our 401 Ks. Last time I checked, no one on this site fits into the "Let's scam a billion dollars" category.

I'm surprised you're not familiar with the H1-B fraudulent, scam program that has invaded our industry since 1990. That is the main reason why unemployment in IT is so high. Ask yourself this: If American citizens are unemployed, how can the Govt sanction the hiring of foreigners for the same job?

All I've got to say to you is keep your job at PeopleSoft. If you ever have to go job hunting you will fully understand this paradox.

Sure this whole corporate greed thing is really outrageous. Hopefully the administration will have the guts to jail these crooks for a long time. The problem is that they are probably entangled in this mess somehow too, that includes the democrats as well. Also Martha Stewart has to go. She can redecorate her cellblock and make a nice quiche for her fellow inmates.

Mike and Miles are referring to those white collar indians stealing programmer jobs. Apparently they feel that they are being squeezed out of the industry by cheap labor. It seems to be a real problem.

I'm guessing that post was from Miles. Well, that story hits me directly as well. My consulting business, which has existed since 1984 is vanishing because of Indian slave labor. These guys are willing to work here for $30 per hour and share an apt with five others. Most of them cannot code for shit. It's incredible that our Govt encourages this with the use of H1-B Visas. Thank you Democrats for enacting that sensible bill in 1990, when the economy was in turbo mode. Now that it's in a free fall there is no provision to stop the H1-Bs, and that is why there are thousands of unemployed computer people.

I can point you to many articles, but this one is the most factual to prove that the H1-B program is a farce: http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/itaa.real.html

Immigrating foreign workers take U.S. jobs LINDA EVANS Special to The Observer

Increasingly, our government is ignoring the needs and concerns of American working people. Businesses and ultra-rich CEOs are buying votes and favor from the government while ordinary working people have less earning power than they had 20 years ago, despite increased productivity and longer working hours.

Latchkey children, boomerang kids, the working poor: Did these terms even exist 30 years ago? Why should it take two incomes just to survive? Why do so many adults, even those with a college education, have to live with their parents because they can't afford to make it on their own? Why is low-cost housing so scarce for the working poor? And why should people who work even be poor?

It is clear the U.S. government thinks working Americans are dumb and lazy. Elected officials show this when they continue to enact legislation that favors big business with tax cuts and other giveaways, while ignoring the suffering of ordinary Americans. American manufacturing is all but gone. What disappears next? Could it be high tech jobs?

Thanks to loopholes in the H1-B visa program and laws that allow offshore programming, many thousands of white-collar workers in this country are losing their jobs. At the same time, the government insists -- based on input from the businesses that shower them with campaign money -- that there is a booming high-tech market. Ask the unemployed programmers and engineers in this country what happened to their jobs. Ask them how many hundreds of resumes they've submitted without results.

At the rate jobs are disappearing for good, we will have nothing left for working people in the United States except low-paying service jobs. Americans have put their trust in their government and their government has sold them out to the highest bidder.

My question is this: How does it help America and American workers to open up the domestic job market to a worldwide supply of labor? According to Max Sewicky of the Economic Policy Institute, "The use of foreign labor to beat down domestic wages does not benefit working people anywhere. On the contrary, every sector or country that enjoys high labor standards puts upward pressure on working conditions elsewhere. The only benefit of workers competing with each other is to corporations that are increasingly stateless and function as if they owe allegiance to nobody."

My husband recently lost his computer programming job to cheaper labor from abroad. I contacted the U.S. Department of Labor, and their response was to give me a toll-free number so my husband could call and apply for training. Twenty-three years of computer programming experience and the best our government can do is give us a toll-free number?

Next I called the technology sector of the U.S. Department of Commerce and spoke with a woman who told me that firing Americans and replacing them with cheaper foreign labor may be "rotten ethics," but it is good business practice. When I asked her how it benefits American workers to lose their jobs so a company can make a bigger profit, her response was that since many Americans are shareholders in companies, anything that increases profits for corporations is good for workers even if they lose their jobs. This is outrageous!

First we Americans were told that we didn't want low-paying service jobs, so it was OK for illegal immigrants to sneak into the country and have those jobs -- with low pay and no worker protections for these poor and desperate people. When our textile and manufacturing jobs disappeared, we were told to upgrade our skills and get high-tech jobs. Now, thanks to the flawed H1-B visa program and the magic of the Internet, our high-tech jobs are disappearing to cheaper foreign labor.

Like drones in a bee hive, the dumb and lazy Americans will be tended by the business bees and when their purpose is fulfilled, the business bees will let the drones starve to death because they are no longer useful and would eat up the hive's stored honey.

And if we, as Americans, don't do something about forcing Congress to protect American workers and their jobs, maybe we really are as dumb and lazy as Congress believes we are.

Al, did I not say not to worry, I was sure you'd find a deadbeat outside to see the show with you? We saw Phil in Hartford, the band was tighter than ever and it was better than expected. Hunter opened the show -- he was wearing a pair of baggy jeans cut off below the knee. They were pretty hilarious. I did know Mitch owned restaurants, Museum Cafe I think, One Fish Two Fish, some others... I did hang with him on occasion at one of them, Rodeo Bar, when I lived on 22nd Street.

Phil, I went to Ed Donahue's place in Averill Park and picked up a bunch of his vintage t-shirts for Michael, some with mandalas, some with, yes, those big roses. And yes I can still see my feet! I will email you a photo soon when I feel brave enough to have my picture taken. I look pretty much the same, except for the basketball-sized watermelon where my stomach used to be.

It's not inappropriate at all.

Joe advised that this condition is commonly referred to as "Lying, Lazy Ass Syndrome." Unfortunately there is no cure. The good news is that all primates are immune to this terrible disease.

Phil, a PDA is a personal data assistant. One of those little electronic phone and date books. At the age of 45, I finally have too many things to remember and I need something to help me keep track of things. I guess I could have used one way back when,then I would be able to recall those events.

It was, as Tibbs would always say, suave (rhymes with wave) and de-boner, even in the early seventies...... oh yeah, when Michael and I had our wedding rings inscribed, I had them engrave "Joni & Michael Forever" in his. I didn;t realize it until right now, but Joel I owe you for the inspiration!!!

I know all about a PDR (physician's desk reference) What's a PDA?? I'm still quite illiterate when it comes all this new technology. Feingold should know.

You got thrown out of many houses in the old days, I see. In fact, you may not remember, me, you and I think it was Al M. were in the basement of my parents house, it was about 4;00 AM we had about a pound of some Hawaiian buds, and we arranged the big buds on the table to spell Hot Tuna. All of a sudden my Dad comes down the stairs, he asked us how much weed is that, I told him, "don't worry Dad it's only an ounce". He said, "o.k. then, but Joel it's time to go to bed, GET OUT OF HERE!"

Miles,

Sad to hear about your loss. Last time I saw your Mom was when she and your dad kicked me out of your house when I told them that I smoked pot. This was at the dinner table when they had been complaining about what a burnout you were so I came to your defense. Do you remember. I was going out with Irene at the time. It was about 28 years ago but still seems like yesterday. I am sure she will live on in your heart and mind and I can say I will never forget her as well.

Also, I remember when she didn't want to let me take Irene to see the Jeferson Airplane in Central Park because it was really windy out. I think she was afraid the subway was going to get blown over. She did let us go and I wil always owe her big time for that.

Today, I am sitting here at The Nasdaq stock market site in CT watching it die a slow and painful death. My job is to make sure our computers stay alive no matter how low it goes and how crazy the volume. Hey Murph - any cure for this? It is definetly dehydrated.

Hi Dr. Joe,

That's alot of sepsis for one person! How did you lose the 1700cc of blood? Did you cut yourself? Oh wait, that was HER blood.

I hope you don't have a hang nail or an open sore on your feet because she could have given you hepititis or AIDS or even sepsis!

By the way, what is your point again?

I don't post on this site, although I once knew many of you who do. It wouldn't surprise me to hear you don't know me, but I did go to MVB and thought I'd share a bit of what I do now. For what it's worth.

I was on-call for trauma surgery at the county hospital last nite, although there wasn't much trauma happening...unusually slow for a summer in Dallas. I did end up operating on a very sick 45 year old woman (mother of two) the Internal Med guys had up in the cardiac ICU. She was being treated for about a million life-threatening nightmares (sepsis, diabetes, sarcoidosis, renal failure, obesity, malnutrition, liver failure, sepsis, pulmonary failure, sepsis, etc). They called me for my two cents on the cause of her sepsis. Turns out she had ischemic colon, perforated in 2 places, that needed to come out. Since she had been operated on once before (for a sick colon) everything in her abdomen was encased in dense scar and adhesions. Sooooo, it took close to seven hours and i lost 1700cc of blood. That's a lot to lose, about half her total blood volume. A unit donated to the Red Cross holds about 250cc. When done I realized that blood had soaked through my 'waterproof' gown to my scrubs. I had bloody socks. Really sick people just don't make good clots. The surgery residents and I did our thing from 10PM to 5AM, we had Dick's Picks was on the CD player all nite. We got her back to the ICU, alive, sort of. I'm not really very optimistic about her outcome, but if she survives it'll be a great save. Good thing trauma was slow. I'll never get tired of this stuff.

Well, enough for now. Next case is in the room, gotta go.

Hey all - It's so nice to have Hildy join us again after so many years. So, how was the trip? Where did you stay & what did you do? How was NY? What did you & Phil talk about? I'd love to see him in his office space playing Mr. Metro (or is it Mr. Scary?). One of these days I'll have the experience.

Summer time has set in at Santa Barbara. Dry, warm & foggy. The June gloom continues into July. We're dealing with a problem coyote in the field next door to us. I don't really want to kill it but I want it gone. We have 3 cats & I don't want them to became nibbles. Reilly is amazed at how quickly I went from tree-hugger, nature lover to shoot the thing. We're trying to scare it away but that hasn't been too successful. Any suggestions on how to get rid of an erractic coyote?

Call International Travel & Resort at 212/545-8467 or toll-free at 800-223-9815 and have them send you a brochure for the Shoal Bay Beach Hotel in Anguilla, British West Indies. Not only will you see a picture of Michael and I on on our honeymoon, but it's a great place for vacation. Of course, you can always stay at the Villas next door...

Hi everybody! Just wanted to touch base with ya'll. I got home safely from my wonderful vacation. I am more exhausted now than before - there's a 4 hour time difference from Bermuda to Phoenix. The cruise was great, Bermuda was better and it was great to have the whole family together (but very tiring having 13 people all together).

I haven't developed the pictures yet, but when I get them back I will send Mike some for posting.

Hope everybody had a safe and happy 4th.

So Phil - it was great to see you again. I'm really glad that we had a few hours to catch up.

Just in case you're interested, Steve Weiss, who you may remember if you went to Cardozo, went to the show and sent me this review from the Los Angeles Times:

POP MUSIC REVIEW The Who: Touch Me, Heal Me Mourning the unexpected death of founding bassist John Entwistle, the band opens its tour with power, emotion and grace.

By RICHARD CROMELIN, TIMES STAFF WRITER

If ever catharsis were in the cards, it was Monday at the Hollywood Bowl, where one of rock's most emotion-driven bands was due to perform the most emotional show of its four-decade career.

And indeed, there was the extra charge in the show-opening power-chord riff of "I Can't Explain," as if guitarist Pete Townshend were trying to blast a path through the decades to the days when he and John Entwistle met as London teenagers and began playing together. That early Who classic also adapted easily from expression of teenage confusion about love to one of middle-aged confusion over loss and mortality.

Less than a week ago, the Who was set to embark on another in its series of periodic reunion tours. Despite some hints from the band's camp that it might soon record new music for the first time in 20 years, this was really just a classic-rock blip on the summer concert radar. But when bassist and founding member Entwistle was found dead, apparently of a heart attack, on Thursday, the day before the tour was to open in Las Vegas, purpose and meaning were dropped into the band's lap, at the greatest price imaginable.

True to the Who's unpredictable, defiant form, Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey quickly reversed the initial, obvious decision to cancel the tour, saying they would best honor their bandmate by soldiering on.

They rushed in a new bassist, Pino Palladino, and postponed two weekend dates. That made Monday's tour opener the most intently watched Who date since drummer Kenney Jones debuted as Keith Moon's replacement in 1979 and probably one of the most oddly anticipated shows in rock history.

Either meltdown or transcendence wouldn't have been out of the question under the circumstances. Who's to say that the playing at the Bowl would have been notably different under normal conditions? You can only speculate what role the unprecedented mix of grief, uncertainty and adrenaline played in shaping the performance, but only hardened cynics would resist the temptation to read its influence into some of the night's key moments.

The snap and energy of the opening 20-minute salvo of "I Can't Explain," "Substitute" and "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" suggested a determination to rediscover the sources of the Who's power. Much later, "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" regained the epic scale they had in the '70s, and Daltrey's vocal on the "See me, feel me, touch me, heal me" refrain from "Tommy" bristled with the kind of life and feeling you just don't expect from a veteran singer at this stage of his career.

Over the course of more than two hours, though, it appeared that the Who's idea of paying tribute was to hunker down and plunge in and see what happened. There were no shrines at stage left, no performances of any of Entwistle's compositions, but the capacity crowd got its share of mood swings and openhearted acknowledgments, beginning with an embrace between longtime sparring partners Daltrey and Townshend before a note was played. The night ended with a montage of Entwistle photos on the video screens.

"Tonight we play for John Entwistle," Daltrey said early in the show. "He was the true spirit of rock 'n' roll, and he lives on in all the music we play."

A little later, Townshend, perhaps sensing that the show had taken on a business-as-usual tone, stepped forward and addressed the audience. "This is gonna be very difficult," he said. "We understand. We're not pretending that nothing's happened."

That probably made it easier for the band and audience to relax into moments of humor, including Townshend's jokes about the fragrance wafting from the crowd and his sudden discovery of the acoustical globes hanging inside the Bowl's band shell.

Daltrey also thanked Palladino, saying that the musician "rescued us in the nick of time."

True enough, the music stayed impressively on track considering that there had been only two days of rehearsal. Drummer Zak Starkey, Pete's brother Simon Townshend on rhythm guitar and backing vocals and longtime keyboard accompanist John "Rabbit" Bundrick complete the lineup.

Palladino, a veteran session and touring musician who has played with such artists as Eric Clapton as well as on Townshend albums and solo tours, negotiated the Who's often complex structures with a determined steadiness. He avoided Entwistle's ornate designs for the most part, and he seemed to have the audience on his side from the start, earning a cheer for his stab at the famous bass solo in "My Generation."

At the end, it all amounted to an intersection of real life, art, entertainment and big business that's rare these days. Those were the elements that swirled around the Who in its turbulent origins, and it's strangely appropriate that Entwistle's loss brought them back again, even if only for a night.

Have a great holiday.

Steven

Dorice & Jan - I just found out about this website via Phil (who emailed me out of the blue) and then Mike told me about his website. And here I am!

Dor - I will be in New York this Friday, June 28th. We're meeting Phil in the city and if you can come too, that would be GREAT!! I will email you with my phone number. I just mailed a picture of myself with my two boys (from my wedding last June) to Mike this Sat so he should be posting that soon.

And Jan, that picture is from a very long time ago at Mike's house at least 20 years ago. I wish I was that skinny again. My parents are great. They just celebrated their 50th anniversary which is why we're going on a family cruise to Bermuda this Sat.

Phil - this Friday is still a go. I will call you when we get into Manhattan. Maybe Dorice will join us.

Until then, I am anxiously awaiting my arrival in the Big Apple....

Hey Hildy & Dor - the girls are finally back! Now we need Debbi,Jan R. & Diane to join us again. Can't believe your both recent brides. Reilly & I have been together for 25 years! Never thought I would be the one with the longest relationship considering I didn't really have a steady boyfriend in those days. Also heard that Jan has a new boyfriend. Hildy - how are your mom & dad? Give them my best. Is that an old or new photo of you on the top page? Are you still that skinny? Hasn't middle age spread set in like it has with the rest of us? Too bad you couldn't make it to the 205 reunion. It really was a blast seeing everyone but we missed you. Phil also has a great house & threw an excellent party. Mr. Scary knows how to do it right! Please stay in touch since I miss my old girlfriends. We still need to plan a 205 in 2005 reunion - how do you feel about that?

Thanks for your birthday wishes. I stayed out of trouble and I didn't even get arrested! I'm 46 now and feeling it (sometimes). I'm gettin' just a little bit creaky. Especially when I have to get up at 5:15A.M. to go to work everyday.

uluL, Baldy Mike knows about that digital stuff. Don't bother with the manual. I never could figure them out. They're boring and too technical. I want to get a digital camera myself. They are cool and it's the future anyway.

I didn't know it was your birthday! Sorry I missed it! My birthday is on Monday. I'm not saying how old I'll be... well, actually, 44. I still can't believe it!! My folks gave me a Canon Sure Shot digital camera so as soon as I finish reading the 100-page instruction manual and figure out how to take pictures and email them, are you in for a surprise! I still don't understand, do I look through the viewfinder, or do I look at the little screen on the back of the camera to take the picture? Anyway, have a great summer everyone!!

Mike, I'm honored that you put my picture on the main page. I was so skinny then. Who's ugly orange couch is that? Sorry to hear you can't make it on the 28th. I'll be in very good hands with Phil. I sent you a picture of me and my boys today.

Joel, thanks for the info about Terwilliger Hot Springs. I hope to go there while I'm in Portland. By the way Joel, I'm sorry I started the whole "I slept with Joel, but we didn't have sex" thing. I didn't realize everyone would rag on you about it forever. If it's any help,...I would have had sex with you if we weren't so stoned. Alright,...so everyone back off now!

If anyone is in the Bay Area, my ex-husband Billy Dunaway, is playing in a band at the I.R.A. Bar in SF. I'm sure he could use some encouragement (and an audience). I'll find out the name of his band if anyone is interested in going. I would love to have someone report back to me.

You're right on Hamster!

That virus infected some files on my windows operating system. Norton or FixKlez can't repair, delete, or quarrantine those files. There's a way to delete those infected files, but then windows is incomplete and you don't know what part of the system you deleted until it's gone.

I'll have to do it, I guess, no freakin' choice. I heard about those guys in India. They're all named John or Mary Smith from Cleveland!!

Mr. Scary.

If you can't fix the KLEZ, you are probably going to need to reformat your hard drive and re-install all of your software. Call Dell (hang up and call again if you get an "off-shore" (INDIAN) technician). Set aside 3 hours for this. If you can, back-up any important documents on diskette before the call & reformat.

Hey Now,

Well it has been a while since I have been here and I see that food still seems to be the major topic of conversation with the exception of Hildy showing up and Joni having a new baby, new house,etc.

For Deb in Fla. check out Terwilliger hot springs by Cougar Dam between Eugene and Bend. One of the most incredible hot springs you can find anywhere. Be careful though, for there are a real lot of naked hippies running around.

For Hildy, congratulations on the new husband. Hope all goes well for you.

For Joni, make sure your kid gets a great education and a really good job. We need lots of future tax payers so I can retire. You all know that I am not bringing any new people into this world so it is up to all of you.

And yes, Hildy and I only slept together. We never had sex, I think. I am thinking about becoming a catholic priest since I have never had sex with anyone. Just slept around alot. The only thing stopping me is I don't really want to have sex with young boys, so I think that disqualifies me. Oh yeah, I am jewish, that me keep me out also.

Till the next time.

Joel

Hi Mr. Scary - I'm trembling. But you should be the one who trembles wben you see me...

By the way its Sheriff Arpaio (the most hated man in Arizona). And, yes, I did eat that green bolonga.

By the way, I was unable to open the file you sent -I even upzipped to no avail. Also, it was the email subject "Si jen wybrat..." that I was unable to open. I am looking forward to receiving another email from you and especially (hopefully) seeing you on the 28th...

Hey, Mike thanks so much for pointing me to this great website. I missed out on so much but now I'm here and your stuck with me. Where did you get that picture of me? I haven't changed a bit - only a bit hotter now...

Of course Joni I have not forgotten you. I remember visiting you and Alan M up in New Paltz. What a party!

For Batch and Joni, Joel and I really only slept together (we never had sex).

Did you hear that Joel? We want to hear from you!!

Love to all,

Hey Deb, There are no geothermal entities in Oregon. If you're in Portland, Mount Hood is the coolest place. It's about 50 miles east of Portland, and very hip.

It's true that Oregon has volcanic activity, but no hot springs. The closest springs to that region, are in Yosmite. About 750 miles south.

Hil-De-Gard, Got your emails. Surprised you didn't receive my reply. I'll send it from my office tomorrow. The PC I'm using now is a virus infected piece of crapola! I'm gonna respond to you tomorrow from my office laptop. It's clean. But I only found you due to the KLEZ virus. How cool is that??

I am glad that I snuffed you out of the woodwork. It was by chance though. (I got a virus from RockinRobin 1221), that's what got me thinking. Your middle name is Robin and your birthday is Dec 21. 2+2=4. I'm not a rocket scientist, you know. I just took a chance that it was you.

Don't send too sexy a picture.....I might get jealous! I've always wondered what the hell happened to you, and it's good to know that you're A.O.K.

uluL,

I can't find those freakin' Mallomars!! I'm not gonna give up. I dream about Mallomars. I'll find 'em eventually. Pickles and ice cream, no problem.(you little fatty, you!!!!!!!)

Harris,

Come by my place when you're here. I'm sure that you've got issue's with Henry and Mom, but hopefully we could spend a little time together before you go back home.

Hil, Just so you know........Mr. Scary is me, Phil. It's a secret. Don't tell anyone! Hee, Hee!!!

By the way, that's Dor's new husband in that picture. He's a hair stylist from Harlem!

And furthermore, How do you tolerate that idiot Sheriff Navarro from Maricopa County? Nobody should have to eat green bologna? Bye..............

This is truly one of those hell freezes over occasions! Hildy Cohn or whatever your name is now, how the hell are you???????? Still sneaking into shows (joke)???? I got married last summer too (8/23) and we are joyfully expecting Michael Mansfield Hazaz on or about October 7 and I just sold my loft in Manhattan and we are building a four bedroom house here in upstate New York. Trust me, right now I do not look anything like my photo in the pink bikini on the Queens Girls Rock page... I was 113 on my wedding day but I've gained about 30 pounds in the last three thanks to the little guy. Here is the link to the page Mike made for our wedding present... http://www.shoppingsolutions.com/jonispics.htm... maybe you remember me? Jan doesn't!

Now that Hildy's finally shown up, maybe Al and Joel will even stop by again to say hello. They said the Other Ones would never play together again either...

I've been living in Arizona for the past 15 years and just love it here. Life is good - I am doing very well. I got remarried last summer and have two boys from a previous marriage - ages 13 & 11. So what's up with you?

Hey - I went to the site for the Pearl video - I believe that the intention of displaying the video on this site, was not snuff oriented and not deliberate. I guess they (ASSHOLE MUSLIMS FROM PAKISTAN) used this a propraganda against the USA. Of course the horrific sites of the muslim children and women were meant to spawn vemon to any and all zionist Jews. But to glorify such a deliberate killing is as disgusting as all the countries these damn Arab muslims w/o brains represent..........sorry - but I need to share this.

I ran Fix Klez. The scan found, deleted, and repaired infected files. But one of the files is part of the Windows operating system. That file had to be manually deleted, without knowing what that file's function was. I found out the function only after removing it. So I'm kinda fucked.

I installed Norton anti virus corporate edition which is much more sensitive than the standard Norton program, but it won't do the live updates.

Plus all the weird shit still keeps happening.

So, tonight Leibo's comin' over and we're gonna do a couple of bowls then, when we're good and ready, we're gonna uninstall the entire freakin' bundle and start from scratch. This is pretty risky, but the other option is to chuck the piece of crap!

Hey - scary man did you run that tool that Mike sent to the site? It probably will be best to reinstall everything -- clean slate. I just got a 'new' McAfee virus scan and then immediately updated it. But - (Mike correct me if I am wrong) these virus scans don't work on the Klez virus -- only the Symantec tool works? I was getting mail from these unknown people -- but personal stuff. Weird virus man! My computer needs a condom! --- to those that knew about my crazy heart stuff... I am off the heart monitor starting today......I hope I don't have any more major arrhythmia's.........

Batch - the link can be very tricky. I had to work with it until I got the correct download. I used it 2x's -- because I received mail from a totally unknown individuals -- personal stuff. Weird...yet I don't have the virus when I used the Symantec tool. Hi to everyone and I hope you all have a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. Don't forget to watch that memorial of 9/11 on HBO Sunday night -- NEVER FORGET! What these Bastards have done.
