Ice Thunderstorm Rolls In...

During my early years it was nothing to get in my car and head out for an adventure. I spent one summer traveling the United States with a friend and we had many wonderful and exciting experiences. One frightful experience happened in Oklahoma when we ran into a severe thunderstorm. It started off beautiful with all the lighting and I'm feeling safe because we are in the car. Suddenly I start seeing ice balls falling from the sky. At first they were intermittent and then all hell broke lose and we started getting hail the size of softballs and this is in July. Well now cruising at 70 MPH those ice balls were hitting my car pretty hard. I became very frighten and being in Oklahoma there was no where to hide or escape for shelter so I pulled over to the side of the road and waited unit it stopped. Never seen anything like it and it sure was a rush and something I will never forget. Just like the thunderstorm that rolled in and frighten me The Mist by Stephen King is going to do frighten the heck out of you come November 21th when it opens up across the country. In Stephen Kings adventure the mist rolls in after a thunderstorm and all hell breaks lose just like my wonderful and frightful thunderstorm adventure.

Calling All Veterans....

To all veterans of the United States Military if you have any medical issues that are not being addressed I would encourage to visit the following link: Veterans Affairs This link will help you in starting to understand the procedures required to help you to receive earned VA medical care. The most important issue to remember is to call or write your local VA Rep. and request parer work to process a medical claim. All major cities in the U.S. have VA clinics where veterans can go for immediate care for colds and flu that sort of thing. In Toledo Ohio the address is Toledo VA Outpatient Clinic 3333 Glendale Ave. phone number 419-259-2000. I encourage all veterans to take care of their bodies and seek preventive medical attention such as a check up, blood pressure, and all other issues.

"The Mist"erious Stephen King..

Once again Stephen King is on the edge of reality and insanity. His latest release The Mist by Stephen King has all the traits we have come to love from this fright author and this film is no exception.

The morning after a violent thunderstorm, a thick unnatural mist rapidly spreads across the small town of Bridgton, Maine, reducing visibility to near-zero and concealing numerous species of bizarre creatures; vaguely resembling, among other things, lobsters, spiders and giant squid, these entities viciously attack any human who ventures out into the open. The source of the fog and its inhabitants is never revealed, but strong allusions are made to an interdimensional rift caused by something known second-hand to the townsfolk as "The Arrowhead Project", which had been long-rumored to be conducted at a nearby top-secret military facility. The bulk of the story details the plight of a large group of people who become trapped while shopping in the town supermarket, among them an artist named David Drayton (the story's narrator), Drayton's young son Billy. Watch as the master Stephen King explores the rapid psychological breakdown of the terrified people inside the market with the unknown and lots of blood. I'm ready to get the heck frighten out of me. So turn out the lights and let the fright begin.

Planet Discovered Outside Solar System!

Scientists said the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting a star about 40 light years from our solar system suggests there are many solar systems packed with planets. The new planet is much bigger than Earth. The planet is a similar distance away from its sun, 55 Cancri, as earth is from the sun, making it a bit warmer than the earth but not very much. The technology needed to record data, electronic images, and photos of distant places keeps on impressing me as new and wonderful discoveries are made.

Dental Pain!... Welcome to The 21st Century!

What a clever idea and common sense in one product! If Dentemp OS would have been around when I was a kid it would have save me some embarrassment and a lot of pain. I lost three front teeth in an automobile accident the same week I had a huge science project due that involved a one-on-one meeting with the school principal. I needed three caps and one root canal and because the accident happened at night and we lived in the rural south I was unable to get to the dentist until about 22 hours later. Let me tell you it hurt and it was 5 days before I received temp caps. Dentemp OS would have been the ticket if it was around then. This FDA Approved Over-the-Counter Dental Cement is a perfect First Aid product for fillings and loose caps. It provides fast, temporary relief of pain and discomfort. Just remove it from its plastic vial and it's ready to use. No Mess! No Mixing! Several Applications in each vial. Replaces lost fillings and may be used to temporarily cement loose crowns. You can eat on it within 30 minutes of setting and fully complies with FDA Regulations for Oral Hygiene. I sure could have used that temporary dental repair back then but it wasn't to be. It was awkward but I presented my presentation and attended the pizza party afterwards. Thank goodness we are making advances in science that allows wonderful products like this to appear in the market place to help ease pain and suffering.

Guantanamo Hearing To Continue..!

I read today that a federal appeals court rejected a request by lawyers for Omar Khadr to halt military commission hearing against a Canadian detainee at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The denial was handed down by a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. At issue was a ruling by the U.S. Court of Military Commission Review in September that said a military court set up by the Bush administration was the proper venue for deciding whether Khadr is an "unlawful enemy combatant" who can be tried by the military on terrorism charges.

Dispose of Those Leftover Meds Properly...

Over the weekend I read in the USA Today that instead of flushing leftover medicine down the drain, the government is recommending you mix it with kitty litter, coffee grounds, sawdust or even doggie doo, then seal in a plastic bag and toss in the trash. That's better for the environment and renders the medicines too unpleasant to try if children, pets, or drug abusers stumble through the trash. A pilot program by the government's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will try to send that advice to thousands of patients who use painkillers, sleeping pills, and other controlled substances. When patients fill prescriptions for a list of abuse-prone drugs, participating pharmacists will hand over a flier urging them to take the kitty-litter step if they don't use all their pills. When I first read this article I laughed, thinking ("too much government, don't they have anything better to do?") but upon reflection anything that will help keep safe people and animals can't be all that bad, considering the scope of the problem.

Space Agency Upgrades Photo Tool...

The European Space Agency has made it easier for amateur and professional photographers to submit photos of Venus via a new Web Interface. The ESA is interested in such photos to supplement observations made by its Venus Express spacecraft. The agency launched the Venus Amateur Observating Project (VAOP) in March 2006 and now has a simpler Web-based interface called the Venus ground-based Active Archive (VAA) for the uploading of photos. ESA is interested in such images because the orbiter cannot constently monitor Venus. There are periods when parts of the planet are visable from Earth but cannot be seen by the spacecraft beacuse of its position in orbit.
