Just a thought, but why does a journalist describe a satellite or space telescope/probe by giving it's dimensions and weight ie "1 ton" when it's in space. Dimensions apply but weight does not. Weight is the amount of influence gravity has on an object. This varies depend on how far an object is from the source of gravity. Mass applies in space but not earthly weight measurements. It may have weighed a ton here on earth, but in open space it is weightless unless an object is in orbit, then it does weigh something as it is under gravitational influence. If not for this influence the objects forward momentum would not be effected. But we cannot measure that. Unfortunately the standard unit of measurement for mass in space is Solar Mass, as in the mass of our star, the Sun. So to give a measure of mass to our satellites and space telescopes/probes is cumbersome as it would a very large negative number. Science needs to come up with a better way to measure mass in space if it needs to be able to measure the mass of cosmic objects much smaller than the Sun. I'm Just Saying!

Ahmadinejad during a speach at the UN in New York, says Capitalism is near death? Well it's true....Ahmadinejad is an IMBECILE! He has gotta be the pride and joy of the Ayatollah. The poor Ayatollah is probably bald underneath his turban from pulling his hair out every time Ahmadinejad opens his mouth. Ahmadinejad comes to the Land Of Opportunity and sees how much better life is here even for those who qualify to be at the poverty level and then says what he says and expects us to listen to him.

One day my mother was out, and my dad was in charge of me.
I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my mom came home.
My dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' Mom waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy; and she watched him drink it up.
Then she said, (as only a mother would know), "'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water, is the toilet?"

Monday Evening February 7th I was at California Family Fitness McClellan Park playing basketball and felt light headed and dizzy. No problem, this has happened before and I would just sit down and relax for a while. Didn't make it to the bench that time. I blacked out and they had to do CPR to wake me up. They said I was gasping for air, I remember waking up in an ambulance on my way to emergency @ Mercy SanJuan. They transferred me to Kaiser Medical Morse, where they did a bunch of tests including a Catheterization. That test revealed I had coronary blockage, which could have caused my blackout as this would prevent my heart from getting the oxygen it needed. Thats why I was gasping for breath. The Doctors gave me a choice, fix it now or later. I may not be so lucky and survive the next one. So I chose to have it fixed now. I went into surgery Saturday February 12th. Quad Bypass. They say my heart will be stronger and I would be faster and stronger on the court in 4 months. The Surgeon said my operation was an easy one because of no complications and my heart & body was so strong from basketball playing. My quicker than normal recovery is also directly related to the strength gained from my playing basketball. So I will be back on the Basketball court in 4 months from the day of the surgery getting back into shape. I don't expect to play full court basketball for 6 months. But there is also one other thing I would like to point out. The professionalizm of the California Family Fitness McClellan Park team. Specifically Derek Carder. If he had not performed effective CPR on me when he did, I would be dead. So I am now also a California Family Fitness McClellan Park member for life. That’s one way to retain membership eh! Thank You Derek for saving my life. I literally owe you my life. I’ll do a commercial for you if you like?
