Hi, I'm Jack. I am currently enjoying some time off from work. I worked for IBM for 28 years on various projects dealing with Museums and Libraries. I have travelled all over the world and have seen the diversity of our world. Currently, I am volunteering P/T at the Westchester Archives and also working at Jawonio as a Document Imaging Specialist.

It is frustrating to upload an image and find that it is restricted to a small thumbnail size. I tried contacting Squidoo help but they are too busy to respond. I don't blame them with all the lens that people are creating. I must commend the Squidoo team for a wonderful tool.  I just improved it. This technique is free and it will also work with any blogs that you create.  Have fun adding your fabulous images!  -Jack Lee  My photo album computers Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:30:45 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/global_warming_solutions It seems to me that global warming solution has been pigeonholed into one outcome and that we are asked to accept this on blind faith by "expert" scientists.  The current thinking is that recent global warming trends has been due primarily to fossil fuel usage by humans and that the increase CO2 in the upper atomsphere has created a "greenhouse" effect which is increasing our global temperature at a faster rate than normal. The preferrred solution seems to be to force our global communities to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and conserve and to develop cleaner renewable energy sources such as solar power and wind power... Al Gore's Inconvient Truth Movie  What I'm suggesting  with this lens is to take a fresh look at this problem and then search for all possible solutions to this complex problem. This may be a shot in the dark or it may take us where we've never considered. Please keep an open mind and take the poll at the end.    newsandpolitics Sun, 04 May 2008 11:20:55 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/shuqi Taiwanese Actress.

I was a fencer from 1969-1982. I started in College and took an elective PE course in fencing during my freshmen year.  I was asked by the instructor to join the JV team who happens to be the JV coach. Later, I was good enough to make it to the Varsity team. I have great teammates and some of whom are friends to this day and some of whom are still active in Senior competitions. Fencing is one of a few competitive sports that  can be enjoyed  from teenage till senior age 70's. I was also fortunate to have two very excellent coaches(Edward Lucia and Mastro Niederkirchner).  In 1987, I was inducted to the CCNY Alumni Athelete Hall of Fame for Fencing. It was a great honor. My weapon of choice is the epee. Therefore, most of what I say here relates to the Epee fencing techniques.  Fencing has been described as playing chess on your feet. It requires skill and agility and cunning and strategy... Have fun and enjoy this great sport!  I have decided to start a blog at the end of this lens describing my experiences coming back to fencing after 25 years. Hope you will check back periodically to read about my progress. Don't forget to leave me some feedback. sports Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:17:20 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Iraq_solution I have been searching for a solution to the current Iraq war.

It is a brilliant concept. Here are my top 5 reasons: 1. It will improve the quality of lens. 2. It will drive more traffic to the lens. 3. It will create renew excitement among lensmasters. 4. It will improve the lensrank by adding a human touch instead of strictly relying on some algorithm. 5. It settles, once and for all, the question of the "importance" of lensrank. If lensrank is unimportant, there would be no need for SquidAngels...

This past week, 2 things happened that gave me the inspiration for this lens. First, I read an article in TIME magazine (April 9th issue) The Global Warming Survival Guide - 51 things You Can Do to Make a Difference. Second, I was on vacation in Seattle visiting my brother-in-law and they just got a new portable GPS system for their car. How are these 2 things related? As I was reading the 51 things, one item (#45) talks about making right turns when you drive. The theory being that you will get there faster with less delay waiting to make the left turn and thereby saving gas and reduce CO2 emissions. I thought that was a stupid idea. When I started using the GPS to guide my travels in Seattle, I discover how easy and great this little device is. It takes the worry and the mistakes out of any road trip. Instead of #45, I would recommend Go Green with GPS. A new slogan I am coining right now.  If everyone would get a GPS (approx. $500), it will save time, gas, frustration and in the process benefit our environment.

Wells's classic book "The Time Machine", at the end of the story, the professor picked 3 books from his personal library and went into the future to start a new civilization. The big question was which 3 books did he choose. This has peaked my curiosity and my thinking of "what if?" What if I was given that choice, what three books of all times would I choose. It is a philosophical question and one that really does not have any practical use. Never the less, it forces one to think.

The problem is not easy and may have various solutions depending on what your goals are. For the sake of easy identification, we will call these problems "grey". 3. There is no answer to this class of problems at the moment and no amount of resources will change that.

Most of us are unaware of their bias and agenda. In some cases, even the reporter themselves are clueless to their own bias. They tend to blur the line between straight news reporting and news commentary and editorial. The public's opinion are often shaped by the news they hear and their sources. It is critical that we know where they are coming from and judge them accordingly. Two watchdog of the media - Media Matters Media Research The important thing to know about "media bias"  is that they really believe that they are not biased. They think they (the elites) are the normal and the rest of Red America are out of touch. From that perspective, they are center and the Red America are extreme right.   newsandpolitics Mon, 19 Nov 2007 06:03:34 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo_addict_18 Some other charities that I'm involved with and a charity worth celebrating (Oprah's Leadership Academy). arts Mon, 19 Nov 2007 06:02:13 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/jackclee I am new to this so I may be experimenting for a while before getting down to business.  Sept. 2006.

I am distressed at how Conservative politicians/celebrities are demonized and their true contributions distorted. This lens is trying to set that record straight. I will define what I mean by conservatism. I am proud of my beliefs and I stand by them.

It seems to me that our country has lost some of the civility that comes from public service. The politics of personal destruction and rhetoric is just over the top. Our system has been corrupted by spin meisters, money, PACs, 527 groups and the internet bloggers. Even the media has lost its way and instead of being the watchdog of our public officials, they have joined in the frey and taken sides. We need a new direction and a new revival of personal interest in participation of the election process. Every one who could vote should vote. However, they should be an informed voter. arts Mon, 12 Mar 2007 23:52:01 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Common_Sense_Conservative_23 arts Mon, 12 Mar 2007 23:39:30 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo_addict_7 Including my first poll module. arts Sat, 10 Mar 2007 05:55:39 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Common_Sense_Conservative_21 arts Thu, 08 Mar 2007 08:37:14 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Common_Sense_Conservative_2 arts Mon, 05 Mar 2007 17:46:08 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/better_business This lens is about exposing businesses that are fraudulent and prey on unsuspecting customers. The power of the web has created a new opportunity to deal with these scam artists. I am coining a new term called "denial marketing". That is providing information that are relevant to customers or potential customers to prevent them from being scammed. At the same time, deny business to these "companies" and in the process help the rest of the businesses succeed.  business Mon, 05 Mar 2007 06:25:26 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Common_Sense_Conservative_3 arts Mon, 26 Feb 2007 11:46:30 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster_class My attempt at humor to define the various characters in Squidoo.

Who is to blame? and why has it failed so miserbly? No doubt some of the UN agencies have done good. However, that is not good enough. There are many charities and non-profit organizations doing similar type of work and producing results. The UN has a unique role and yet it has failed in it's primary duties.

I lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks of use. (from 178 to 171 lb.) This is not really a diet program. It is a combination of tea and pill. The pill is a concentrated form of the tea. It also has natural fiber within. By drinking the tea all day long and taking the pill, you feel full and therefore naturally eat less at each meal.  The only side effect I noticed is dry mouth during the day. It also cleanse your digestive system. That is why it is marketed as a detox tea. You can eat whatever you wish just like before. No dieting. You can stop when the desired weight loss is attained.   arts Sat, 19 Apr 2008 10:12:50 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/fencing_equipment Under Construction... sports Mon, 25 Jun 2007 09:36:13 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo_addict_3 Helping the 9/11 Memorial Foundation... arts Thu, 08 Mar 2007 20:54:18 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/epee_fencing_10 sports Fri, 20 Jul 2007 04:51:32 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/rush_limbaugh_1 (under construction) newsandpolitics Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:00:24 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo_addict_22 My first group. arts Tue, 18 Mar 2008 06:55:04 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/Common_Sense_Conservative_24 arts Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:36:32 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/jack_lee A Giant Squid!
