Beauty in the Night



Billows of smoke and steam rise above Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida alongside space shuttle Discovery as it races toward space on the STS-128 mission.

The STS-128 mission is the 30th International Space Station assembly flight and the 128th space shuttle flight. The 13-day mission will deliver more than 7 tons of supplies, science racks and equipment, as well as additional environmental hardware to sustain six crew members on the International Space Station. The equipment includes a freezer to store research samples, a new sleeping compartment and the COLBERT treadmill.

500 Colored Pencils



From the website:

What would one color be without 499 others?

Introducing 500 Colored Pencils: the only set in the world that matches the span and wonder of human creativity.

Express whatever you dream, with beautiful visual precision.

Each pencil is its own story. A unique hue with an inventive name to inspire the far corners of your creativity.

Together, the colors suggest infinite possibilities.



Quite a few colors I've never seen before; lettuce, mermaid's gown and tragedy. (wow, a color for my love life!!!)

You can have the entire set sent to you, 25 pencils at a time, over the course of 20 months. Each month's shipment will set you back 33 bucks.

Uh, I believe if I need to draw something I will go down to the Dollar Store and buy the Made-in-China off-brand crayons.

Back Up Your Blog

When I was involved in the now defunct MSN Groups it was always such a hassle to try to back up my group so I didn't even try. Files and photos could easily be saved/backed-up via the My Network Spaces, but posts had to be copied into a Notepad document and saved, or pasted into an HTML editor and the page saved. (and since people were constantly clearing out their graphics albums in order to save space, the page had to be saved again to save any images) It was a pain.

With Blogger, it's much easier to save each and every post. I've got my settings where I get posts and replies direct to my inbox. I saved them for a while, then decided I didn't really want to keep them. (face it, my posts are not something for the ages)

Another method of saving posts and replies is to use the RSS feed for your blog and save them within Google Reader. Create a folder, name it something like "ToTG" and move all published content to it, easy as that!

I still don't save them, though. I've lost a few posts from here due to some Blogger glitch, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.

delectation \dee-lek-TAY-shun\ , noun:

I hope everyone takes delectation in this blog.

This Explains Why

I'm a lunatic.




Your Name Comes From the Moon



You are a moody person, and you are constantly seeking balance in your life.

You feel connected to all beings. You are very sympathetic and understanding.

You are very influenced by who is around you. Too much negativity is certain to overwhelm you.

You are happiest when you are alone with nature, especially when you're around water.

Gold in Palo Duro Canyon



Urging the local populace to use Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which turns 75 this weekend, is nothing new. Apparently there was some unusual marketing to get more traffic into the Canyon going back to the 1950s.

Don Williams of Amarillo recalls a gimmick initiated by then-superintendent John McCarty back in the 1950s. Getting into PD Canyon was harder in those days, so McCarty, frustrated by that, had an idea to make it worthwhile.

According to Williams, McCarty had fake gold coins made, each one with a serial number, and a Panhandle merchant donated a prize for each serial number. He had an airplane fly over strategic parts of the Canyon and drop the coins.

'I can remember my family of four spending so many Saturdays or Sundays hiking the canyon looking for those coins,' Williams wrote. 'My Dad, Mom, and Sis did find some coins but only three I remember. One was for 100 pounds of potatoes from a Hereford produce wholesaler. Our whole neighborhood shared in this prize. Two was a floor lamp given by Taylor Furniture and three was a dinner for four at Myer’s Fried Chicken.'

For some reason, that sounds something right out of the 1950s.

Jeopardy

Do you like Jeopardy? I love to watch and play along with the tv quiz show, but sometimes I miss the program. Thanks to KFDA TV in Amarillo, you can now play an abbreviated version of the day's Jeopardy broadcast.

Play Jeopardy



Look at that score! A few years back, they had tryouts for the Amarillo area and I tried and tried to get through with the number they supplied during the show, but the line was constantly busy and it wasn't long until they ran a scroll across the bottom of the screen saying they had reached their quota of possible contestants. Story of my life, actually.

A woman from Dumas won the local contest and I happened to catch the show on which she competed. The category topics were nearly all of things that I was interested in and knew well: Potent Potables, Sci-Fi, Literature, Movies, Football, WWII, etc. I think I knew the answers to at least 75% of the questions (actually, knew the questions to the answers as per the Jeopardy format). The woman from this area came in dead last with only a few hundred dollars as her score. I honestly think I could've done better.

Oh heck, who am I kidding. I'd probably would have frozen like a deer in the headlights. It's one thing to "win" at these things in my living room, but another when you know there are millions of people (that will be) watching you.

The Brave Captain



 A naval captain in the 1800s sees an enemy flotilla of 5 ships. He yells at his aide, "Quick, get me my RED SHIRT!" He puts on his red shirt, battle is waged, and the captain and his fleet destroys the enemy flotilla.



His aide asks, "Captain, I did as you say, but why? Is that a lucky shirt, sir?"


The captain replies, 'No, it's that if I get wounded I don't want my crew to see me bleed and think all is lost. That is all.'

The next day, the captain is alerted to a full fleet of 50 enemy ships. He then yells to his aide,

"Quick, get me my BROWN PANTS!"

You Should Watch a Comedy



You are a fun loving person who is able to laugh at all aspects of life.

Some may think you're light-hearted, but you're also able to be amusingly dark.

You can see both the best and worst in people. More importantly, you understand how absurd life can be.

You find a well written comedy to be intelligent and even insightful. Anyone can make a good movie, but only a genius can make a hilarious movie.

Personas

How does the internet see YOU?

From the website:

Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab. It uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait of one's aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.

Enter your name, and Personas scours the web for information and attempts to characterize the person - to fit them to a predetermined set of categories that an algorithmic process created from a massive corpus of data. The computational process is visualized with each stage of the analysis, finally resulting in the presentation of a seemingly authoritative personal profile.

In a world where fortunes are sought through data-mining vast information repositories, the computer is our indispensable but far from infallible assistant. Personas demonstrates the computer's uncanny insights and its inadvertent errors, such as the mischaracterizations caused by the inability to separate data from multiple owners of the same name. It is meant for the viewer to reflect on our current and future world, where digital histories are as important if not more important than oral histories, and computational methods of condensing our digital traces are opaque and socially ignorant.

This is my persona created with my name. Click for larger view.



The problem with "my" persona is that there was nothing about ME (that I could see) but instead it used mentions of other people with my name: an author, a police chief, etc.

TOMATO FEST: Sassy Smoky Salsa

NOTE: This is a test of a new feature which integrates items I've read in my Google Reader and can send to Blogger. I don't plan to make a habit of it, but thought it was a neat thing.



TOMATO FEST: Sassy Smoky Salsa: "

“It’s difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.”

–  Lewis Grizzard



Each summer I can hardly wait until I start seeing red globes peeking out from between the green leaves of our tomato plants.


There are a million salsa recipes out there, and I have tried my share of them over the last 30 years. Trust me on this – I grew up a few miles from the Mexican border and I have eaten hundreds of salsas. If I am a connoisseur of any one thing, it has to be salsa! This recipe is my absolute all-time favorite!  Roasting about half of the tomatoes quickly at a very high heat give a wonderful roasted smoky flavor, but keeping half of the tomatoes raw gives it the perfect freshness and texture. And, the chipotle chile powder and smoked paprika are delicious in combination with tomatoes.


Don’t skip the EVOO. Olive oil used with tomatoes improves BOTH their flavor and health benefits exponentially.


I love to make gallons (literally) of our family’s favorite salsa and then cruise around the neighborhood like “The Salsa Fairy” handing out pints to friends or leaving them on doorsteps as a surprise treat.


You may even be tempted to sit down with a bowl of this with a very large spoon. No, I am NOT kidding.



SASSY SMOKY SALSA


Juice of two limes (about 1/4 cup)


Zest of two limes (about 2 teaspoons)


4 cloves garlic


1 large bunch cilantro


About 12 large ripe tomatoes (to make 8 cups smashed)


2 bunches green onions, tops included


1 bell pepper, any color


4 to 6 fresh jalapeños


1 tablespoon each chipotle chile powder and smoked paprika


2 teaspoons salt (or more to taste)


2 tablespoons olive oil


A few dashes Tabasco sauce, to taste


Cut tomatoes in half and squeeze out all juice and seeds. Place half of tomatoes cut side down on a baking sheet and spray with a little oil. Broil about 3 inches from heat for about 5 minutes, until tomato skins begin to blacken in spots. Let cool. Drain off liquid from pan and then pulse roasted tomatoes and remaining uncooked tomatoes in food processor until tomatoes are in small chunks. DO NOT PUREE. Place tomato mixture in a large bowl.


Place lime juice, lime zest, garlic and cilantro in food processor and blend until smooth. Remove seeds and pulp from jalapeños and mince. Remove ends and outer skins of green onions and mince. Remove seeds and white pulp from bell pepper and mince. Add chile powder, salt and olive oil. Stir all ingredients together and let sit on counter for at least one hour for flavors to blend. Taste. If necessary because tomatoes are acidic, add in a little sugar to taste. If salsa is too runny, stir in a can of tomato paste. Cover and refrigerate for up to 10 days. Serve at room temperature. Makes a HUGE batch!!


Variation: To make salsa hotter, add more hot peppers, such as serranos. Also, leaving the seeds in will make the salsa hotter after seeds have had a chance to blend with other flavors.

Cast Away Locations in Google Maps

Since I've had thousands hundreds a few requests via email for the exact locations of the farm house and intersection used at the first and last scenes in Cast Away, I decided I'd embed a Google map to show just where they are.

For greater detail, click on the link "View Larger Map" at the bottom of the embed.


View Larger Map

I've got it set to the intersection but you can drag the map upwards* to see the farm house.

*Go up/North by dragging the map DOWNWARDS with your cursor.

Since I couldn't put a "push pin" in the map, I wasn't for sure just how I would pinpoint the locations, then found out by opening up the larger map, then clicking "More" and checking the box "Photos", there were a couple of photographs of each location, allowing the viewer to zoom out and see a better map by selecting "Map" at the top of the Google Map page.

After following those convoluted instructions, you should see something like this:



The top photo is the location of the farm house; the bottom one is the intersection.

Google Maps won't let you zoom in too close, but at least by having the two photos as "placemarks" in lieu of "push pins", you can have some idea of just where the locations are.

If you have the Google Earth application, you can download a .kml file with the locations at this page on Waymarking.com

Here are the two main posts about those locations:

Cast Away Crossroads

Arrington Ranch House


Edit to add: I had noticed my Cast Away posts were still among the most searched for articles in my blog and decided to check them - to correct grammar errors, "clean up" a few sentences, center the photos, etc. and I noticed that when I followed the directions to view the photographs in the larger map that they had disappeared - meaning that whoever had uploaded them had deleted them or their account(s).  I'll see if I can upload my own photos to those same spots on the map.

Zip Line Mishap

The extreme zip lines have fascinated me since I found several vids on You Tube and the regular visitors to this blog may remember a year or so ago when I posted several of them. When I was a kid, some friends of mine and I put up a small one, much like the one in the following video.

I think this might be the last zip line vid I'll ever post.

There might be some cursing, but it's fairly unintelligible. If it'd been ME on the zip, you'd have heard a bunch of cussin'. You probably would've seen me throwing up, too.

I Win Again!

Was just notified that I had won a 12 serving sample pack of Arbuckles coffee from my entering the current Marlboro sweepstakes.



I don't smoke Marlboros these days, but I appreciate the prizes I've won. I got my bottle opener the other day but have yet to receive my money clip.

I'll have to divide that bag up into several servings, though, because I have only a 4-cup coffee maker. That's about as much coffee as I can stand to drink in a day and even that gets me pretty jittery. 12 cups of coffee would keep me up for days!

Fatty's Furtive Firearm Failure

Obese Texas inmate hides gun in his flabs of fat

HOUSTON — An obese inmate in Texas has been charged after officials learned he had a gun hidden under flabs of his own flesh.

Twenty-five-year-old George Vera was charged with possession of a firearm in a correctional facility after he told a guard at the Harris County Jail about the unloaded 9mm pistol. The Houston Chronicle reported Thursday that Vera was originally arrested on charges of selling illegal copies of compact discs.

The 500-pound man was searched during his arrest and again at a city jail and the county jail, but officers never found the weapon in his rolls of skin. Vera admitted having the gun during a shower break at the county jail.




I started to post the photo of the guy at the above link, then thought I'd go find an animation or clipart to illustrate this story.

You know, try to make it funnier than it already is.

If you'll go look for yourself, you'll find out why I decided against it.

As he stands before the firing squad he says, "Actually, music is my life. One thing I would really like would be to sing my favorite song, one whole time through, with no interruptions."

The guard nods solemnly and tells him to go ahead.

The inmate starts: "One billion bottles of beer on the wall...."
