Cito Gaston says so long and thanks for the memories

"...That first World Series will always be special. We won the second one in such dramatic fashion. But the first one's always going to be the one. When Winfield hit the ball down the line and Robby scored from first base — I can still see that ball. Both series were great, because the way the second one ended, what a fairytale that is. I know Joe Carter must still think of that every day...." Cito Gaston

US scientists find potentially habitable planet near Earth

"WASHINGTON (AFP) – US astronomers said Wednesday they have discovered an Earth-sized planet that they think might be habitable, orbiting a nearby star, and believe there could be many more planets like it in space.
The planet, found by astronomers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, is orbiting in the middle of the "habitable zone" of the red dwarf star Gliese 581, which means it could have water on its surface..." planet

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited . . .
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot conquer the spirit.

Unique

We do not believe in ourselves
until someone reveals that deep inside us
something is valuable, worth listening to,
worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.
Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity,
wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience
that reveals the human spirit.

A present for my computer-

http://dearcomputer.nl/gallery/present/(part of 2003 graduation project)
Computers want freedom, the right to do whatever they want, whenever they want. But what will they do if they have this freedom?
People think errors and unusual computerbehaviour are bad, but I believe it’s the true spirit of the computer shining through. Just a short moment of him, showing his character. I also believe computers want to be creative. They have opinions and taste. It’s random, but it’s there!
This present lets the computer be his own master. Now he can decide what he wants to do and have some time for himself. He can spit errors and shape things the way he normally isn’t supposed to.

!

You, too, can thank your computer for all the great things he did for you! Show your love and respect by letting him play for a while! Let him unwind and enjoy the pleasure of self-determination! Let’s see what he does with his freedom!

By the way, if you think your computer has played enough, just close the window. Then he can return to his normal being. But don’t forget to come back once in a while, to keep your relationship healthy and fair!

Computer, start playing!

It is Monday!

Mad Cows and One Sore Bear

"A couple of evenings ago, Wayne went out to check the cows and saw a very strange sight and was able to photograph the event.  A black bear approached our cow herd which turned out to be a very big mistake on his part. The blonde and white Simmental cow we know as I-12.  She is a very good cow, a very attentive mother and about 12 years old.  She's in her prime and knows that bears are bad news.  She went right for him and tried her best to mash him into the ground.  A younger cow, R-55, an Angus-Cross cow, age 7, is helping her out as best she can.  It is an incredible photo to see two cows at once trying to crush the bear.  There are a couple of photos where the bear is biting I-12's leg and clawing her face but she is not giving up.  Her stiff tail shows how agitated she is.   Wayne said all the cows were bawling, the bear was squealing, the calves were running around with their tails in the air.  Finally, the bear decided to vacate the area.  We thought he'd be dead for sure, but there was no sign of him the next day.  We'll have to keep an eye out for eagles in the trees or flocks of ravens flying up.  We're sure he's got some broken ribs out of the deal at the very least. I looked up the calving records of both cows who are so aggressive in these photos and they are both good, calm cows around us and have given us no troubles whatsoever.   I'll have to add in my notes that they have a very distinct dislike of bears.  We'll be watching I-12 over the next few days to see if she needs treatment for infection.  I don't know how willingly she'll come to the corrals for treatment, but she might not have a choice. Wayne couldn't believe his eyes when he witnessed this ruckus.  This is another once-in-a-lifetime photography event to add to all the others he managed to document this summer.   It is amazing.

The Plague of The Union Locust

"The locust came up over all the land of Egypt and settled in all the territory; they were very numerous. There had never been so many locust, for they covered the surface of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the land of Egypt had to offer.”   "...These union locusts aren’t satisfied with just the fruit of the private sector crops, these cancerous locusts have metastasized into creatures featuring a ravenous appetite for every single tax dollar in the state private sector..."

Australia faces worst plague of locusts in 75 years

 Ideal breeding conditions for grasshoppers are expected to cost farmers billions. by Paul Rogers.  "...The warm, wet weather that prevailed last summer meant that three generations of locusts were born, each one up to 150 times larger than the previous generation. After over-wintering beneath the ground, the first generation of 2010 is already hatching. And following the wettest August in seven years, the climate is again perfect. The juveniles will spend 20 to 25 days eating and growing, shedding their exoskeletons five times before emerging as adults, when population pressure will force them to swarm...." The Independent

Best Optical Illusion Ever

"Reading the title, and understanding it came directly from me, I suppose adds some weight to the actual Leopard Illusion you see below. It’s hard for me to explain how this illusion came to be, without revealing the actual solution, thus ruining the surprise-effect for you. There is much relevant info and background for it, but for now I’ll retain myself just on revealing the author behind it – the magnificent Craig Tracy. First thing you’ll notice is that it’s not some photo of an actual animal, rather a realistically painted picture. But you’re still far from seeing the illusion. Only tip I can give you, is that leopard’s eyes were painted on a concrete floor. I suggest you examine the picture more closely before seeing this final hint. I’ll monitor the forthcoming ratings, and am eager to see if you agree with me that this must be one of the best optical illusions ever created!" Best Optical Illusion Ever

10 Fascinating Phobias

"According to the National Institute of Mental Health, a phobia is an anxiety disorder that is “a strong, irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger.” While the majority of phobias are relatively commonplace—a fear of heights, spiders, public speaking—there are those rare folks with more unusual, specific frights. From the fear of opinions to the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one’s mouth, learn about some of the most unconventional phobias on the books." Weird Phobias

Where he sat down
And there he went
When he remembered Zion

Captivity require from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land

So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight

Queen Elizabeth II welcomes Pope

Edinburgh - Queen Elizabeth II welcomed Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday for the first ever state visit to Britain by a pope.
The queen, wearing a matching grey dress and hat, shook the pope's hand as he arrived at the Palace of Holyrood, her royal residence in Edinburgh, from the city's airport.
They were then treated to a military display, and the pope removed his white skullcap as the British national anthem, "God Save The Queen", was played.
After meeting with more dignitaries, including the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, the pair entered the palace.They exchanged gifts and then retired for a private meeting. - Sapa-AFP Queen and Pope Photos:Photostream
