A taste of the other side

Ackkk!, I haven’t been updating in the past week. In case you have not noticed. I have had many a life changing situations happening and I just have been trying to deal but amidst all the turmoil, I have been keeping contact with a good friend of mine and we have been having our weekly political sessions. So I deemed it right that after all my stabbings at McCain and Palin that i put a link here to their site who has a bit more of a informative view on the opposite side.

I think it is very important at this point to be open-minded in a sense and look at the fork in the road. It’s part of being an adult and adopting to other people and their opposing opinions. No one is perfect. Who knows, you may learn something.

It seems that stupidity is contagious

Indeed, that is what is going on in these two videos posted below.  I wonder why we don’t see things like this covered by the mainstream media. Although, if I were Palin or McCain, I’m not quite sure I would want to let these people represent me. Right about now, somewhere in the recesses of my brain, the song from “Deliverance” plays about.

Our new neighbor

Recently, a new neighbor has moved into our neighborhood and thankfully, he’s not a “tweaker”. He’s a cute little marsupial (well, not that little). I have not named him yet but I have taken quite a liking to him and I think he is getting used it to me also. Tonight was the first time he was photogenic for me.

Goat Boy

I have a huge affinity for animals. I love them more than people, true. In fact, one of my friends and I had a conversation once, built around a scenario of a burning building. There’s a human trapped inside but also a cat/dog, who would you save first?

Anyway, I digress. In the midst of my voyage on the internet sometime last week in the wee hours of the morn’, I found this “talking goat” video on YouTube.

Enjoy!

    Snapshot of the International Space Station

     
    On March 13, 2008, the International Space Station passed across the field-of-view of Germany's remote sensing satellite, TerraSAR-X, at a distance of 195 kilometers, or 122 miles, and at a relative speed of 34,540 kilometers per hour, or more than 22,000 mph. In contrast to optical cameras, radar does not 'see' surfaces. Instead, it is much more aware of the edges and corners which bounce back the microwave signal it transmits. Smooth surfaces such as those on the station's solar generators or the radiator panels used to dissipate excess heat, unless directly facing the radar antenna, tend to deflect rather than reflect the radar beam, causing these features to appear on the radar image as dark areas. The radar image of the station therefore looks like a dense collection of bright spots from which the outlines of the space station can be clearly identified. The central element on the station, to which all the modules are docked, has a grid structure that presents a multiplicity of reflecting surfaces to the radar beam, making it readily identifiable. This image has a resolution of about one meter (about 39 inches). In other words, objects can be depicted as discrete units--that is, shown separately--provided that they are at least one meter apart. If they are closer together than that, they tend to merge into a single block on a radar image. Since this image was taken, the station has expanded and is more than 90 percent complete, including a full complement of solar arrays. Image Credit: DLR
