The d'Poliakonian
WO{PLAY}RK
Convolution Theorem:
d'Poliakonian Law of
WORK {PLAY}:
WORK is {PLAY}
you get paid
$HEKEL$ to DELIVER
on OTHER
PEOPLE'S
SCHEDULES.
NOTE: Brackets { } indicate
{Stealth Invisibility}
Putting the Theorem
into a mathematical form and
solving for {PLAY} yields:
{Play} = Work - ($hekel$ + Deliverables + Other
People's Schedules).
WORK convolutes into {PLAY} as
$hekel$, Deliverables and O.P.S approach
Zero.
Thus: The Limit of
WORK, as $hekel$,
Deliveries and O.P.S approach Zero
is {PLAY}
Pay
$hekel$ To Yourself
Deliver To Yourself
Work
To Your Schedules
and all your WORK will be convoluted into
{PLAY}.
My writing activity is
properly called CYBER WO{PLAY}RK.
When the Catgicina's Love
Slave tells HER HIGHNESS that his lowness will be
WO{PLAY}RK'ing
in his Cyber
Sanctum Sanctorum editing-finalizing the p-Pub for the next XX hours it is,
in fact, {Stealth PLAY} that to non-convoluters
without {The P-Code}, appears to be
WORK. As in:
“I'll
be in the CSS doing CYBER WO{PLAY}RK for a while, Honey”
with HER HIGHNESS replying,
“Don't WO{PLAY}RK too hard darling, I'll bring you some hot tea in later.”
When Pd'P
Freewebizens® apply the d'Poliakonian WO{PLAY}RK Convolution
Theorem on the job, they appear to be WORK'ing "as
hard as" their co-workers because they are {Stealthily Masking-Concealing
PLAY Activity}.
The WO{PLAY}RK Theorem has dual-functionality.
It may be used to EITHER:
1. Convolute
WORK into {Stealth
PLAY} or
2. {Mask-Conceal PLAY} beneath the White-Pink Noise
generated by the Banausic WORK of Others, thereby, making it appear as WORK.
By NOT
Working for $hekel$, Producing Deliverables and Meeting Other's
Schedules one can look like “one busy synaptic beaver,”
while in Stealth-d'Poliakonian Reality
they are either {Stealthily
Convoluting} WORK into {PLAY} or {Masking-Concealing:PLAY} making
it look like WO{PLAY}RK.
The
whole process is a simple, but elegant one. This is because it is totally indiscernible by codeless, clueless
others using their normal human sensory perception.
Its TOP SECRET nature resides in the pseudo-random
Bright Eyes p-code that is applied to {PLAY} Activity
to {Mask-Conceal}
it making it look like WO{PLAY}RK Activity.
In essence, the pseudo-random Bright Eyes
convolutional coding {Mask-Conceal} "PLAY SIGNALS"
by burying them in the "Ambient White-Pink 'WO{PLAY}RK'
Noise" generated
by the aggregate pandemic millions of mindless, droning, wheel-spinning WORK EFFORT-UNITS. This is the White-Pink Noise
generated by co-workers, neighbors, friends, citizens, kinfolk and assorted Drones &
Dronettes who choose or are forced to Hustle After & Churn Out $, €, £, ¥... Geedas & Gelt due to family-personal needs, bill paying neccessity or their lifelong habit of eating every
day.
The WO{PLAY}RK
Convolution Theorem permits USERS to follow their
{PLAY:BLISS}. Many USERS also
use {Stealth} aroma masking technology
to {Mask-Conceal} the faint incense-like
pungence of burning oak leaves out-gasing from brain-ware pods overheated
by WO{PLAY}RK
sessions.
A burnt oak
aroma wafts around my Cyber-Sanctum Sanctorum as Mk-41 Bright Eyes brain-ware synapses
fire-off and process during my WO{PLAY:BLISS}RK. This is a telltale sign that a
WO{PLAY:BLISS}RK session is underway.

Prius Hypermilers & Hypermiling
We are the Prius-Borg.
You will be assimilated.
Your biological and
technological distinctiveness
will be added to our own.
Resistance is futile.
Prius hypermilers
are those Prius Hybrid drivers who have been assimilated into the Prius Borg Collective by invisible nanoprobes stealthily launched from the Hybrid Synergy Drive of their vehicles, and now find themselves transformed into Prius-Borgs. They live and drive to serve the Hybrid
Hive by applying special hybrid fuel economy driving and operating techniques, like "Pulse
and Glide" and "Warp Stealth," such that they regularly
meet and surpass the 51/55/60 mpg EPA Fuel Economy (FE) rating of their Prius.
Most Prius hypermiler drivers regularly get 60+ mpg from their fuel-sippers, with some reportedly
achieving over 100 mpg .
I was transformed into a hypermiling Prius-Borg just days after purchasing my new 2007 Prius as
part of Toyota's End-Of-Year 2006 Holiday Toyotathon: Sale. Once I started driving the
Prius, I was drawn to hypermiling like the proverbial moth is drawn
to a flame. Now I work (play?) hard as I drive to optimally manage the Prius
Hybrid Synergy Drive to get it to deliver and surpass the
promised EPA FE numbers.
My Borg Queen, and
June-Bride-For-Life, is very pleased with me since my assimilation and transformation into a Prius-Borg
because my lead-foot was also transformed in the process. I now drive slower (read: less than or equal to the speed limit,
and usually not greater than 55 mph). My Borg Queen, is especially
pleased that I only have crack open my wallet once a month to fill the Prius' 11.9
gallon tank with Regular Unleaded gasoline. Previously, I had to top-off the 26.5 gallon gas tank of the Premium Unleaded
guzzling Aryan Iron I previously used to drive from Point A to Point B and back again, twice a week.
I have found that achieving
100 mpg is hard to do when most of your driving is in normal traffic. But diligent application of hypermiling techniques at
every opportunity will assure you will regularly meet or exceed the 51/55/60 EPA Fuel Economy Rating promised on the
Prius window sticker.
I am quite pleased with the Prius and its performance. I do think that it is a personal transportation vehicle
that only a Techno-Geek can truly appreciate, love, enjoy and optimally operate.
In my opinion, there is a bit of an Information
Handling and Management Learning Curve for the novice hybrid driver. Particularly, if they want to attain and maintain optimal
and maximal MPG by applying the myriad of fuel-sipping driving techniques.
There are over 30 operating status and advisory
indicator symbols plus other additional graphics and numerics that may be displayed on the electronic instrument cluster
and multi-information display monitor at various times. Digesting and responding to these
are a piece of cake for combat-hardened aviators, avid computer gamers and gadget mastering Ueber Techno-Geeks, but may be
a lot of information for non-tech savvy John and Jane Q. average drivers to efficiently absorb, manage and use to good advantage.
I would like to see a Heads-Up Display
incorporated into the windshield to help alleviate and manage this "information over-load" problem. It would be a big driver
safety enhancement that would cut down on a driver being distracted away from keeping his or her eyes on the road when driving as
they monitor the electronic instrument cluster and multi-information display monitor.
It is clear to me that if one drives a Prius like a conventional car they will likely not achieve the 51/55/60 EPA Fuel Economy
miles per gallon.
Driving the Prius to
MAX MPG PERFECTION requires a bit of Hybrid Zen Mastery to achieve MAX MPG NIRVANA. The driver must Become-One-With-The-Hybrid-System. If not, only the basic MPG available from the
1.5L. 4-Cylinder gasoline engine will likely be delivered.

Kugela
Grandma Buti’s
Old Lithuanian Recipe
Kugela
is a favorite oven baked, casserole dish-based family recipe of ours passed down from my Lithuanian Grandma Buti.
The aromatic smell of baking Kugela wafting out of your kitchen will quickly draw a hungry crowd waiting for the
oven timer to go off.
Kugela is a delicious oven-baked
potato pudding and is easy to prepare and cook. It is Classic European food art and is a national dish of Lithuania.
No family celebration or other communal gathering that includes eating would be complete without it. Traditionally, Kugela
is served topped with a generous dollop of sour cream and an applesauce accompaniment.
5 lb
Russet Potatoes finely grated (Can be prepared using any variety of potato, but, because Russet Potatoes high in
starch and light and fluffy when cooked-baked, Russets are considered Grandma Gourmet Kugela Kritical).
1 lb
Bacon; cut across the strips into 1/2" sized pieces
6 Eggs.
1 Large
Onion; grated (Vidalia Sweet Onion, if available).
2 Tablespoons
of Salt (if desired, add a dash or two of Black Pepper).
½ Cup
of flour.
1 Can
(12 ounces) evaporated milk.
Fry bacon pieces
in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve and set aside about one quarter
cup of the bacon drippings for later use. Sauté grated onions lightly. Combine rendered bacon pieces, reserved bacon drippings
and sautéed onion together with potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Stir flour, milk, eggs, and salt-pepper into the bowl. Pour
blended mixture into lightly greased glass pan (13 x 9 x 2). Bake in a conventional oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
until top is nicely brown, about 1-1½ hours (i.e. until a knife inserted in center comes out clean).
Cut into serving
sized squares and top each with a generous dollop of sour cream.
Serves 10 normal
people or 6-8 from a hungry family or group (1½ hours with 30 min prep time).
Kugela is great for Pot Luck dinners and reheats well in the microwave oven. Enjoy!
Poetry
Beautiful Old Age
David Herbert Lawrence
(In Memorium Of My Father)
It
ought to be lovely to be old to be full of the peace that comes of experience and wrinkled ripe fulfillment.
The
wrinkled smile of completeness that follows a life lived undaunted and unsoured with accepted lies.
If
people lived without accepting lies they would ripen like apples, and be scented like pippins in their old
age.
Soothing,
old people should be, like apples when one is tired of love.
Fragrant
like yellowing leaves, and dim with the soft stillness and satisfaction of autumn.
And
a girl should say: It must be wonderful to live and grow old.
Look at my mother, how rich and still she is! --
And
a young man should think: By Jove, my father
has faced all weathers, but it’s been a life! --
Fresh Water Sport Fishing
Fox Chain O'Lakes
If you're an avid angler you might want to try great
fishing for Walleyed Pike in the Fox Chain O'Lakes. Fox Lake and the associated Chain O'Lakes
lake and river system of the Fox Valley
is located 40 miles north of Chicago and is nestled
right in the middle of walleye country.
Test netting in the Chain O’Lakes has shown
that the Fox Chain is loaded with walleyes. The average male is ~15 inches long with a few exceeding 18 inches. The average
female is ~21 inches with 80 percent longer than 18 inches. One quarter of the fish netted exceed 24 inches. Since 1996, slot
limits protected the 18-to-24-inch "brood stock" walleyes.
Frank Jakubicek, Illinois district fishery biologist, said, "The Fox Chain is confirmation that intensive
fish management works on an urban lake system. We have had a consistent effort for over 20 years, and the results speak for
themselves."
Bring your fishing gear, your boat and yourself
to the Fox Chain O'Lakes for a fun fishing experience.
