Rest of The Week... 2007-08-15 15:06:00 Well I am off to work tonight and I have to “fill-in” for a different shift on Friday Night.  That sucks.  I am supposed to go ridding on Saturday morning when I get out of work.  I will see how tired I am.  Also I found a sweet ass band called Stromkern and here is the Wikipedia listing of them. The are good if you like some industrial music with a rap beat.  Most of the stuff I have listened to I like. See everyone tonight…   RMStringer ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You have no conscience and it seems you never will - Cyberaktif   Subscribe to my Posts... ...

September 1 2007 Meteor Shower 2007-08-13 22:55:00 By Peter Jenniskens Meteor Astronomer, Carl Sagan Center, SETI Institute   Around the start of our year count, 2000 years ago, comet Kiess passed the sun and ejected a cloud of dust. Kiess completed one orbit in 1911 when it was discovered by Lick Observatory post-doc Carl Kiess. The dust took longer to return, and formed a continuous stream of dust particles that has been passing just outside Earth orbit ever since.   On Sept. 1, 2007, that trail of dust from Roman times will wander in the Earth's path again, causing an extremely rare meteor shower during the short time it takes the Earth to travel through the stream of dust. The meteors radiate from the constellation of Auriga, and are called Aurigids. Only three people alive today are known to have seen this shower before in 1935, 1986, and 1994. After the 2007 encounter, the Aurigids will not be seen again in our lifetimes.   The Aurigid shower will last only an hour and a half, with a bright Moon in the sky ...

Perseid meteor shower 2007-08-13 22:46:00 Well folks, I was at work during this “event” and went out several times during the night and I did not see a thing.  I was expecting a really great show and I got Nadda… There is supposed to be another meteor shower around September 1,2007 and I will place some more details up soon.   RMStringer ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is an illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and I am content. (Robert E.

My Bad... 2007-08-13 03:02:00 Anonymous said "I believe Sharon Osborn is on "America's Got Talent"...not "So You Think You Can Dance"....details. Anyway"  Well sorry for that little detail.  To me all of those shows suck so i got the name wrong. Thankx for being so good at pointing out every little error, So you can Think you got Idol Talent is what i think they should call the show and have all of the hosts sit there and argue it out with The Hoff as the ring leader and Ryan Seacrest with a dog collar tied to The Hoff... -- RMSTringer+++++++++++++++ Subscribe to my Posts... ...

August Meteor Shower Will Be 'A Great Show' 2007-08-12 19:51:00 Just a reminder for everyone in the USA. Tonight is the Perseid meteor shower. It is supposed to be a great show with lots of shooting stars about 10-12 per hour tonight. Look to the Northern Sky. It's going to be a great show," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. "The Moon is new on August 12, which means no moonlight, dark skies and plenty of meteors." Observing tips from www.Space.com:To see the show, one need only find a comfortable spot with a clear view of the northeast horizon, away from local lights. A dark rural location is best. Lie back on a blanket or lounge chair and scan the entire sky. In the late evening, starting around 9 p.m. local time, sharp-eyed observers might see "earthgrazing" meteors that skim the northeast horizon."Earthgrazers are long, slow and colorful," Cooke said. "They are among the most beautiful of meteors." But don't expect more than a handful in an hour, he said. Perseid meteo ...

American Idull 2007-08-12 19:34:00 American IdullMore people watch and vote on this show than they do for the Election of The President. What a shame! This just shows that America cares more about a person singing than they do on who is running the country. Perhaps, we should make a show called “The Next American President” and make them do a Dog & Pony Show to get Americans to vote for the next US President. It sounds like a viable option to me with several categories like dancing, singing, political issues, general health and mental wellbeing.Where r they now? Perhaps the only one that has made a career from the show is Kelly Clarkson. She rode the fame and became a true Pop Star with good music and lyrical content. All the way from working in a theater to top of the charts. Where are the rest of them? Ruben Studdard(2003), Fantasia Barrino(2004), Carrie Underwood(2005), Jordin Sparks(2007)Carrie Underwood has made some impression on the music scene. With her cross over hit from Country to Pop and some succes ...

Bad For them Good For Us... 2007-08-12 01:11:00 A problem at the switch board at a transformer substation led to a power shortage at 2:30 p.m. (0530 GMT), the company said.Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. said on Friday it shut down six of its chip production lines after a power cut at a plant near Seoul, prompting expectations of tighter supply and a rise in prices. Some said the incident could wipe out as much as a month's worth of Samsung's total production of NAND flash memory chips, which are widely used for data storage in portable electronics. "It is probable that at least half of the chips already in the fabrication process will have to be discarded," said Lee Min-hee, an analyst for Dongbu Securities."Taking into account another two weeks for ramp-up of the lines after cleanup, Samsung could very well lose a month's worth of chip shipment," he said."When the power goes down, some of the wafers die in the process and they ... become obsolete," said Lee.Overall NAND production at Samsung is likely to be particularly affected ...
