Merrill, Gracie, and God
Merrill puts his heart and his love for Gracie and God for everyone to see. Everyone should see and feel the Love. God is Love. When I first saw this, I was like.. what 8 minutes, and then next thing I knew.... I felt the power of love through Merrill and wanted more time. Watch it. Love. Don't forget to tell the people you love, that you love them. It is important.

Happy Independence Day!

I always feel like saluting the flag, but I put my hand over my chest. Being in a free country with the ability to have your life, your liberty, and being free to pursue your happiness is what everyone truly wants. The power of liberty is overwhelming when understood which it is giving you the ability to drive your own life. Having the freedom to be happy is only misunderstood by the sad. There is nothing wrong with being sad, and almost everyone experiences it. It is much more fun in life to go through it happy.

Remembering Tupac Shakur aka 2Pac (06/16/71 to 09/13/96)

Released in 1993. This was the first 2Pac CD I had ever bought. Followed by "Me Against the World, and All Eyez on Me". I have purchased the "Greatest Hits" Album twice, after losing my first copy. A lot of people don't get this genre of music, but to me it is an art form. Poetry is not as popular as rapping in my book, perhaps it needs to be put to music. If you actually pay attention to what is being said a story will most likely unfold if you are able to keep up with great lyricists such a Tupac. Tupac had a busy life as soon as he attained stardom with not only music but with his acting ability too. In reality he went from Digital underground to 1991 on his own label and in 2 years making his first huge album and starring in major movies and then for 3 more years putting out music and movies until his untimely death in which the murderers have still not been caught to this day.
It is hard to select a #1 song, but I think "Changes" really does make a statement and would have to top the list of my favorite 2Pac songs. I never even knew who Huey was when I was first listening to the song, now i'm older I do. I feel the world and culture is changing and there are many truths in this song. 12 years after this song was made we finally have a black President. We still haven't changed the way we eat, too much good food. Some things will never change?
I would have to say that "All Eyez on Me" , "I Ain't Mad at ya", and "Picture Me Rolling" are my other top songs, and seriously you have to love "Hit 'em Up".
I never really listened to the East Coast stuff until later on in life around 2000. The battle back in the day was serious, you were either a 2Pac fan or a Biggie Fan. I was definitely a 2Pac fan, and still love listening to his music to this day. It's a shame that we had to loose great artists to this type of struggle, but the struggle was real: "Thug Life". It was the pinnacle of the history of the genre that never reached its peak. Now it's really just a modified Hip Hop genre.
RIP 2Pac

Winter of Jan 2010 -Brrr!

NASA watches the sun very well. The sun has been very very quiet for some time. As humans we need to be able to adapt to the ever changing environment around us. We need to be able to survive any outside condition, whether it be heat or cold. Improving our self contained environmental capabilities will give humans the ability to survive extreme conditions. We have a good understanding of the body and what it enjoys and how to maintain that. We should be able to do this in a self contained area that can exist in extreme areas. The Globe will cool. The Globe will get warm. We need to be able to adapt.
The Winter of Jan 2010 is a cold one. I wonder if it has to do with the Sun being really quiet. The better we understand the science of space, the more able we are to adapt to the changes.

NASA bombs the Moon!

Has NASA always been this busy? They are launching the most shuttle's I have ever noticed before. Other nation's should take notice that we can hit a trajectory several million miles away. NASA bombed the moon with it's rocket and hit almost precisely where it was aiming for. We can safely land objects on Mars, and play games with moons around Saturn and Jupiter. The real question is, are we going to take seriously the issue of being able to colonize other planetary bodies? This is what we really need to accomplish to usher in the "Space Age". If there were going to be a planetary catastrophic event, where would we go? The building blocks are there. There is water on the Moon and Mars! I'm sure there are plenty of people out there willing to go, just like people were ready to go to the "New World". We cannot forget to invest in our future through science, not only war.

Letter to NASA : Human Continuity
Response to NASA’s Spaceflight Committee request for Comments 07-20-2009
Human Continuity
By: Paul Michael Owens
http://paulmichaelowens.blogspot.com
July 23, 2009
It is impressive that NASA gives the opportunity to receive public comments on this very precious issue of Human Continuity. Human Continuity is hard to understand from a complex point of view. But from a simple point of view Human Continuity is plain as the planet we live on. The Homo Sapiens control the Earth. The Homo Sapiens can be defined by a set of traits that with minor variance quantitatively represent over 6 Billion living beings on Earth. Homo Sapiens come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Homo Sapiens are Humans. Humans should not be bound by a planetary body. Humanity can be a positive Galactic and Universal force. Humans by nature fight to survive and will defend humanity at all costs. Humans should be prepared for any adversary big or small. Space is the only protection from a global catastrophic event. The ability to colonize another planetary body has to be the ultimate objective in any adventure into Space and any attempt to maintain humankind regardless of what planetary or space body they may reside. A continuous Space presence will gather further understanding of Space. Without researching, how can any understanding of Space be undertaken? We have to understand Space to be able to adapt to those conditions. Being able to travel through Space for a reasonable timeframe would require great speed. The Speed of Light is 186,000 miles per second. It takes over 4 years at the speed of light to get to Alpha Centauri or Proxima Centauri. There has to be a way to harness Space to allow us to flow through it quicker. Perhaps unlocking the secret of the light particle to understand how it moves so fast and replicate the particles surrounding energy of a light particle, perhaps the speed of light can be achieved and maybe go even faster! Thank you for the opportunity to answer the following questions:
1) What are the appropriate destinations and sequences of exploration for human exploration beyond LEO?
Low Earth Orbit can be defined by a specific distance directly north from the ground. Distance to other planetary bodies can also be defined. These definitions allow for many places to be included for appropriate destinations. We should attempt to achieve the following as destination points as well as milestone markers: (In this order of importance) Mars, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Titan, Pluto, Alpha Centauri, Crab Nebula, NGC 4414.
Achieving these milestones will bring Humans into a different class of Life. Once we can leave the Milky Way Galaxy and return within a lifetime we can call ourselves an Intergalactic Species.
2) What should be the mode of surface exploration (if any)?
Space Surface Exploration should be done with robotic vehicles and devices first. The study of macro solutions could expand the size capabilities of projects to result in faster research.
3) What is the strategy within the human space flight program for coordinating
Human and robotic exploration?
Robots should always go first. Caution should always be used in new situations. We should always be able to extract human exploration missions. Missions should include objectives that have maintained strategic safety scenarios. With the implantation of robots and robotic devices prior to human exploration it would ease adjustment with ready tools to complete mission objectives.
4) What are the assumed launch vehicle(s) to LEO (in terms of mass to orbit and shroud diameter?
Vehicles must be able to break orbit. Eventual Advanced Vehicles should be able to reach the speed of light. The F-22 is the ultimate fighter. The Air Force should be focusing on the next Space fighter or StarFighter. A StarFighter should be able to regularly reach 10,000 km with complete mobility and have the maneuverability of a F-35. No one wants to ride a bomb to get to space. If the LEO launch vehicle were made to be as easy to get on as the airplane a true space revolution could occur. If we could secure better space occupancy projects and combine that with an ease of travel into space there would be many jobs for people who did not have any other opportunity to work on even better Space Projects.
5) What are the options for in-space fuel/oxidizer storage and transfer?
Once a Space Station is established to be a working viable structure, there needs to be a development of a larger structure that can make bigger space-based structures that can be utilized for larger space projects. Tritium occurs naturally in space. Could Tritium be a new fuel source? Could there be other products naturally occurring in space that could be utilized for motion in space? These are questions that should be researched.
6) What is the role that space technology research and development will play?
R and D play an important role in increased acclimation of knowledge of space. Communication improvements in distance, clarity, and strength will allow for better rates for reliable information transfer. Are current computing abilities adequate enough to support thorough space research? Question drive technology. When we stop asking questions opportunities are lost to learn more about any environment. There still needs to be major advances in self contained living structures which are needed to maintain life in a controlled environment. Is it possible to create an even better spacesuit?
7) What is our strategy for engaging international partners in the development of the program?
Human Continuity is of the whole Human Race and goes beyond national borders. It is the general consensus of man to be able to understand what is beyond this planet and to answer the unasked questions. There are many explorers still around the Earth. Some continue to explore our Globe, but we should not allow a planetary body to restrict our use of Space. We should not allow national divisions deter engaging intelligence found in other countries. While we cannot be at war with any partner, we should strive to work with intelligence regardless of the nationality.
8) What is our strategy for engaging commercial entities?
Small business partnerships allow for area specific contractual agreements. NASA should be a self-sufficient organization, with major parts of NASA operations solely reliable to NASA itself. NASA also should understand that Space is now a commercial market and not just a government only playground. Commercial relationships will have to be undertaken. Examples are Russia’s selling of space travel, and Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic.

Remembering 9/11 - Controlled Demolitions destroyed the Twin Towers
Can you watch these videos? The truth has not been told. But it will be. The psuedo rise to power over a Nero type takeover will not stand in the United States. The media attempted to coat it, but at least they got live shots and live video that will tell the truth about this tragic situation. Remember those who give their lives for freedom. These videos were downloaded from Youtube. Search Youtube for 9/11, and spend some time thinking about your fellow Americans. 9/11 was an inside job! Some quick facts: Jet Fuel sponanteously combusts at around 210 degrees celsius and open air burns at around 288 degrees celsius. Steel slightly changes its chemical composition at around 700 degrees celsius and does not liquify until around right above 1400 degrees celsuis.
Firefighters tell their story:
If you can get over the dramatic opening and slide screens, this video has lots of live video.

NASA's new ASTER Satellite Images
NASA says that the colors on this map are arbitrarily chosen by a computer color splicing program. Here I was thinking that it may be signs that the oceans were much higher at some point in the past. Take a closer look at the pictures above and below. Are they representing some prehistoric shelf?
NASA is doing a great job in space research. We definitely need more funding for these programs. It's great having Space Shuttle launches so close together. We should have a goal of daily space launches! All space enthusiasts still need to pay attention to Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic.

The People of Iran : 1st Amendment Exercises
As of June 17, 2009, Iranians have taken to the streets for the third day of protests of a claimed psuedo-election. The Iranian government has actually started shooting at protestors. Every country has the right to nuclear power, but every country does not have the right to create nuclear arms. If you want to be part of the modern world, then there are standards that must be met. Iran is one of the last countries left in the world that lets religion dictate the rule of law. State and Religion should forever be separated. The coverage has been lengthy, and I think diplomacy is the way to go, and the State Department is handling this situation accordingly. I think we should impress on the Iranian people that we want them to be free and have free uncompromised elections. Is the UN really doing its job and monitoring elections? Why not have them monitor ours? How about they be the third party that counts the votes? Hmm, yeah, I don't think so. So how do you hold your government accountable for holding fair elections? I think the United States again sets such great precedence with having locals man election polls. Even though the method of voting is still up in the air, there should always be a papertrail, America holds great elections!

June 4th to July 4th The Can from China --- STAND UP FOR LIBERTY!

My Nana forwarded My Wife this email that makes sense, as both My Wife and Nana always do.
Wake Up America! Liberty is calling! Freedom will ring once again! If you wish to pass this on Copy and Paste the message between the asteriks into an email and forward to everyone you know.
************************************************************
The Can from China:
I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT THE COUNTRY MARKET. ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA'. FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA'.
I WAS SHOCKED!!
SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIFORNIA.
TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING ! !
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think? While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the ex-Bush Administration for perceived errors. Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
0h Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...FAST!!The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
The solution? Let's give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.
Remember, June 4 to July 4.
EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW.
Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and NOBODY can take us for granted. If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on, America
