I just saw my first night launch of the shuttle - wow! I'm inland, just north of Orlando and the thing lit up the sky. You could even see the boosters falling away for some distance. Thanks to my DVR, I know that I would see it almost 50 miles down range before it disappeared from my view. Wow! Nothing like it... -- Hurricane

THis is a vid from last year. You may have seen it..if not watch it...let the WHOLE thing play..it's incredibly creative and you'll never look at xmas lights in quite the same way.. From my past work experience, I'd say this is someone who programs theatrical and stage lighting for a living and had the time and access to the gear, it's also a great piece of music,. The downloaded mpg is better I have it if u want an email.. Christmas House Enoy! RCJ

Ok, I click online this morn and about half of the new posts were spammers. I could tell just from the topic and description... I didn't click onto any of it...With some spammers when you click onto it multiplies on its own...and/or takes your AP address and sends the crap to your homecomputer. Therefore, might I suggest that when we see from topic description what looks to be spam that NO ONE click onto it! If there is no reaction to it, they have no reason to continue. Just my two cents worth.

Weekend Edition Saturday, November 5, 2005 · http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...storyId=4990705 For hundreds of years, ship captains in the Indian Ocean have been writing of nighttime voyages through eerie stretches of water -- areas where the surface of the ocean glowed so brightly that sailors could read books on deck at midnight. These milky waters were said to cover thousands of square miles. Marine biologists used to ignore these kinds of reports. Now they don't. A group of satellite photos has changed their minds. http://media.npr.org/programs/wesat/featur...ter/waterlg.jpg Satellite images captured a large patch of glowing water off the coast of Som…

German high-tech sky sail may cut costs, emissions By Erik Kirschbaum Mon Dec 4, 12:58 PM ET BREMEN, Germany (Reuters) - Putting a harness on ocean winds, a German shipping company plans to unfurl a giant high-tech kite over a cargo ship next year to boost the vessel's propulsion and to conserve fuel. ADVERTISEMENT The "SkySail," a 160 square-meter (191 square-yard) kite tethered to a mast, has successfully undergone years of trial runs and Bremen shipowner Beluga Shipping believes it will help its vessels cut fuel use by 15 to 20 percent. The "MV Beluga SkySails," now being built and fitted with a paraglider-shaped sail and a "smart" central steerage unit, will make…

Circle ‘round mates and let me tell you a scary story. Scary, but true. True as the deep blue. Let this be a lesson for ye so that ye do not suffer my fate. There is a company out there in this cyber world call Pirate Mod. Now they claim to be pirate friendly. But they are just pirates of the worst kind. I ordered a framed “Pirate Scroll” from this outfit back on May 31, 2006 as a Father’s Day gift for meself. They immediately billed me Master of Cards and I had no further response from them for two months. After repeated e-mails, they finally responded to tell me that the frames were backordered. I accepted the response as truthful. About two weeks later, in…

In the RF2 thread Hector Sterling wrote: So... It is my belief that while a large amount of the events as recorded in the Bible can be shown to be more or less accurate, and a large amount cannot be shown to be wrong, there are enough points in the Bible which can be shown to be incorrect or impossible to render the Bible unreliable as an historical source. This does not in any way mean that I am knocking any of the faiths based on the Bible - but that is what they are: faith, not history. For example, Genesis tell us quite clearly that there were two days between the creation of life in the seas etc and the advent of mankind, whereas science has shown us quite clear…

Thought with the new year travel season coming some of us may be making plans for a vaca.. My two best trips were Bermuda and Paris. Bermuda was a dream. I had been all through the Carribean, but this island was just right. Mainly because tourism is so low down on their "economically importat" list. Plus it was the first real trip away I took with a guy in a long time and everything was so new. I wanted to retire there.Stayed in a small expensive couples only all inclusive..drank all their baileys, slept through breakfast and had afternoon tea instead. The beach was outstanding and we put 225 miles on the scooter for two that came with the room. That's a lot on such a s…
