Discovery

 

 This is it and then it will go to a museum after it returns.  I'm afraid that America is on a downhill slide with all the cutbacks and now this too.  This is something we have been so proud of and now it's being taken away from us.  What will they think of next?
The shuttle Discovery blasted off on its final mission into orbit, marking the beginning of the end for what has been a central part of the US space program for three decades.

Dangerous Situations

There's a certain area in the North Texas roads  that I consider dangerous for travel.  It's been noted that several truck related accidents have occurred in this stretch of highway.  I often traveled that roadway a few years ago, and saw one of these accidents.  It wasn't a very nice scene and the person in this one car was killed instantly.  The family of these people involved, certainly need a Texas truck accident attorney  to handle the legal adversities involved with the losses and expenses.  There are several things that an attorney can do to aide the family while they are going through this costly trauma. 
You need a law firm that's committed to provide clients with superior client service and legal representation.  Here in Texas you can find a firm who will serve the people throughout Forth Worth, Texas and surrounding areas including Denton, Lewisville, Flower Mound, North Richland Hills, Grapevine, Burleson, Cleburne, Weatherford, Mineral Wells, Granbury, and Tarrant County, Denton, Johnson, Parker, Palo Pinto, and Hood Counties, and all communities in between.  You should consider clicking on the above link and getting the information listed on the website for further legal services. 

Unrest in Middle East

How sad that it's come to this and hopefully some kind of good will come from it.  We watch from a distance and know that only by the grace of God, go there we.  This is a terrible time for the people of these countries and it doesn't look as if there's an end in sight.  So many lives have already been lost and many people have been abused or beaten to promote some form of control. My only hope is that these uprisings will be beneficial to the people who are tired of the mistreatment they are receiving.

Foods

It's possible that we should introduce certain people to a new diet like eating fat burning foods  instead of ribs, cheeseburgers and such. I believe that a good diet can also rid the parents of having to give children supplements, as long as the children are healthy.  Eating a good nutritious diet that has all the essential vitamins needed for a healthy body is all most children and adults need.

Her Fat?

There have been some statements by certain TV personalities as of late, about the 1st Lady's diet and her waist. Word has it that she's not front page model material and even thought she advocates the theory "Get Moving" she doesn't eat that way. Her diet has been noticed as one that leaves a lot to be desired. Especially if your telling everyone else to do something different.

Weight

 It's for certain that the Royal couple don't have a weight problem, but with time anything can happen.  I'm sure that to keep with protocol they will try to keep their weight in check with exercise and possible diet weight loss pills  for extra help.  I remember certain other members of the Royal family who had problems with their weight, and they were able to afford to go to a health spa.  I would love to experience that luxury one day, before I die.

Invitations Sent

Distributed by the Lord Chamberlain's office, the invites to "the Marriage of His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales, K.G. with Miss Catherine Middleton" stipulate that attendees of the 11 a.m. ceremony are expected to dress in "uniform, morning coat or lounge suit."  A source close to the couple tells that the invites were sent starting Thursday evening, but because there were so many it took until Friday to get them all out.  Approximately 1,800 invitations have been delivered for Prince William and Kate Middleton's highly-anticipated April 29 nuptials. I can't wait to watch it on the TV and maybe get a few picture's with my digital camera as things are happening.

Your Skin

How is it that we keep getting those awful blackheads, even though we clean out face and skin properly?  It never ceases to amaze me, how those things keep staying right there, in the worst places on your body.  I have heard that there's a way to get blackhead removal  done effectively.  It's probably more than I can afford, but if you have the finances, then this is a good place to investigate. 

Lighting

Has there come a time when you are tired of your home's decor?  Do you wish for something more modern?  I'm sure that you will have a yen for pendant lighting  as a nice change to your existing lighting features. There are plenty of designs to choose from and all you have to do is click on the above link for current sales and prices.  This website will show you features you can incorporate into your existing decor and give it a new look.

What's Next?

 

First it was Egypt and now it's Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that has problems. 

Thousands of protesters gather at Pearl Roundabout in the heart of the Bahraini capital Manama February 15, 2011. Thousands of Shi'ite protesters marched into the capital of Bahrain on Tuesday after a man was killed in clashes between police and mourners at a funeral for a demonstrator shot dead at an earlier anti-government rally.

It is said that much of this has started with the internet websites and others doing "tweets" to these people from other places.  It's caused an uprising that is being seen around the world.  In a clear sign of concern over the widening crisis, Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa made a rare national TV address, offering condolences for the deaths, pledging an investigation into the killings and promising to push ahead with reforms, which include loosening state controls on the media and Internet.

ipods

It's a trend to have an earpiece stuck in your ear when your exercising.  You see them at the health spas, on the bike and running trails.  It's the modern way to pass the time while you exercise or do chores.  I've often wondered what noise factor is involved with  ipods output of sound.  Can these be good for your hearing or maybe should they be moderated?  For more information on the different designs and brands, click on the above link and shop for your ipod.

Dali's Painting Sells High

 

Salvador Dali's painting 'Portrait de Paul Eluard' at the auction house's premises in London.  The piece is estimated to bring between 3.5 and 5 million pounds ($5.571 to $7.959 million) in Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art Sale which takes place between Feb. 8 and Feb. 17.  

Update:

 Thursday  it was sold for more than 13 million pounds (21.6 million dollars, 15.8 million euros). An anonymous bidder paid 13.4 million pounds for the 1929 masterpiece.  That's more money than I'll ever see in my whole life..........

4G

There's many of new electronic devices on the market and I don't know what seventy five percent of them can do, will do or whatever.  They also offer the Atrix 4G  which is supposed to be a high powered phone unit.  The 4G units are supposed to deliver more speed, and applications to your handset, which I really don't need.  I'm sure there are many of you who are loving this unit, and for you I say have a great time.  I'm doing well to keep up with the equated unit I have.

We Got It......

True to their nature, the weathermen gave us an outlook of snow........well, here it is......I woke up this morning to this stuff........I know that they can't always get it right, and I suppose the kids will love them, but I was just getting ready to go shopping........darn it!

More To Come

Don't mention "cabin fever", you might get a riot out of the deal.  Many residents are so tired of being cooped up inside and now the weather people, say "more snow"!  Texas is not accustomed to this type of weather, for more than a day or so.  Usually we are hit hard, but then it melts off in a day or so and we are right back doing our usual Texas stuff.  Super Bowl week, has been hampered as well, and the businesses that were geared for big business and sales, are having a hard time making any profit at all.  It's hard to get out and enjoy yourself in hard cold freezing weather.  I can't believe those two football teams had to bring their weather with them, to feel welcomed and at home. Take it back......quick!
