Salt Lake City

Thousand wonders.com

Early Thursday morning, for the second time, I am flying to Salt Lake City, Utah. The first time, as noted on my other website archives, was in 2009 and I was only at the (SLC) airport on the way to Phoenix.

When I am not at family wedding events, I hope to use my Android to take some Latter-Day Saints related photos and perhaps post with some comments.
Today

Photos from today. The mighty Fraser. I took a one hour plus walk for a haircut and a futile attempt to find the phantom, bogus address Canpar gave me in order to pick-up my parcel from work.

With their documentation and when I called them, Canpar provided no address, only two street names and the name 'JV". How unprofessional dealing with a corporate account. This after they refused to leave my parcel from Toronto at my residence when I was away at work in Vancouver.

Nietzsche and future humanity


Cited

Nietzsche claimed the exemplary human being must craft his/her own identity through self-realization and do so without relying on anything transcending that life—such as God or a soul. This way of living should be affirmed even were one to adopt, most problematically, a radical vision of eternity, one suggesting the "eternal recurrence" of all events. According to some commentators, Nietzsche advanced a cosmological theory of “will to power.” But others interpret him as not being overly concerned with working out a general cosmology.

I have been pondering on some recent descriptions I have heard of Nietzsche and his philosophy and this citation reads like much of the views within modern Western society.

Two red cards, five goals, five minute match, changed rules: Chucky blew his top



In regard to British, Actua Soccer (1996) and Actua Soccer 3 (1998). Actua Soccer 3 from today...

A few months ago I bought new IFYOO gamepads for my Windows 10 laptop, and old Windows XP desktop from 2000. The gamepads on the XP changed how Actua Soocer 3 (1998) is played. The huge curved shots are no longer possible to use and the shooting is now more realistic. I can now safely state that after months of practice with an altered game, after playing with the old rules since 1998, I have mastered the new way the game is played. But it is more difficult to score, but now only slightly.

For whatever bizarre reason, my Actua and UEFA soccer posts receive better than average pageviews, so I post this as a public service. I have managed to finally find a PC version of of Actua Soccer (1996) which I originally played on UMAX, a Mac clone. This too has new rules of playing, but this is mainly that the speed is increased and the opponents are better quality than previously.

It is also a very difficult game at times.

Chucky actually blew his top, he was so frustrated with the computer simulation and cheating with the new Actua Soccer (1996).

I would like to post an entry reviewing Actua Soccer (1996), it is actually the American, Virtual Soccer 96, version, but need to find a decent way to film it and my record screen software does not work. Cheap... I apologize for the quality of this recording, but, how the game works can be seen.

In the works are plans to find a workable (Windows 10 or Windows XP) version of Actua Soccer 2 (1997) and attempt to master it. I have never played it...
