Ceasing oil is correct?

Both President GW Bush and Barack Obama are too stupid not taking complete control of Iraq's oil fields for US usage allowing Iran to cease the oil fields. US should leave the anti-United States United Nations. US cannot have both expanded medicare and a great military, because US is no longer a rich country. China is ripping off the US a lot, and yet China is stealing many jobs. He knows OPEC raises the oil prices once the US gets out of recession so we should cease Iraq's oil and grow domestic supplies in the Gulf of Mexico oil rigs or in the continental US.


Now a neo-conservative like Rick Perry would beef up the military spending, but I wonder Romney would also do the essentials like Gerald Ford aircraft carriers, Virginia Class subs, anti-gravity projects, High Energy Liquid Laser Defense System, drones, aircraft, HUMMVEE replacement.

Minnesota State Fair @ Night

I was at the MN State Fair at night and I ate french fries. I heard Daft Punk somewhere like I do every year here. Daft Punk is a House music act. I took a picture of all the lights.

anti-US Chinese have Carrier killer missile

Communist Party in China funded a new super missile that can sink a Nimitz aircraft carrier within 900 miles of the coast. The new missile is called the Dong Feng (or East Wind) 21D. They attack our government computers all the time. It's a cyber cold war.

DF-21 is a two-stage, solid-fuel, medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) developed by the 2nd Aerospace Academy (now China Changfeng Mechanics and Electronics Technology Academy) in late 1970s. It was the first solid-fueled ballistic missile deployed by the Second Artillery Corp. The missile carries a single 500 kt nuclear warhead, up to 2,500 km range. The DF-21 also served as the basis for the submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) JL-1 (CSS-N-3), used on the XIA-Class SSBN. In 1996, an improved variant, the DF-21A, was introduced. Currently, an estimated 60-80 DF-21/DF-21A are in service.

The only thing that can protect a carrier is a HELLADS (High Energy Liquid Laser Defense System) pod on the flight deck. Maybe have some HELLADS on the West Coast. Maybe have a LGM-118 Peacekeeper re-commissioned, because it is 15 years newer than the LGM-30 Minuteman III in service until there is plenty of HELLADS manufactured.

Dragon Ball Z




Due to popular demand on IMDB, I found this on Ebay and bought it. I watch it when it was airing. I watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers between 1993 - 1997 and had an option of buying MMPR, yet I didn't. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers didn't have a very good score at IMDB (5.3).

Dragon Ball Z was, to many, one of the most influential cartoon series ever in the world. When I was younger I grew up watching the whole series from start to finish, read the comic books, and played the video games. The Dragon Ball Z series contain some of the most charismatic characters, great fighting sequences, and strong plots that covered thousands of years. Originally created in the 1980's, it's truly a blessing that western audiences finally gets to see it in english. However I wish the series would start from the very beginning, the story when Son Gokou was a courageous little boy who uses his innate fighting talents to help out others.

It's only a shame though that the western TV version are heavily censored, causing disorientation and lack of flow to some of the original fight scenes. The Japanese version showed no-holds barred violence and the use of strong words (aka swearing), creating emotional tension that is not present in the english-language version.

4 core laptop on Christmas?

I sent in my request for a Acer Aspire laptop with AMD Phenom II X4 N970 2.2GHz, 4GB DDR3, 320GB HDD, DVDRW, Radeon HD 4250, 15.6" Display. It's only $30 over parent's price range for this years Christmas present. If true, it'll override the free Playstation Vita.

The CES 2010 unveiled one of the beguiling TVs in the form of Toshiba Cell TVs, as it finds a place in the top 10 amazing devices you should buy in 2011. The processor in the Toshiba Cell TVs is the type that gets used in that of the PlayStation 3 as it also offers native 3D capability. Name the feature you have dreamed about and you can come across those features in Toshiba Cell TVs. Though the prices tend be on the higher side the magic of this wonderful device is worth the buy.
Samsung LED 9000 Series

When ‘Touch of Color’ design was becoming stale by the day, this beauty in the form of Samsung LED 9000 Series was conceived by the company, as it is one of the top 10 amazing gadgets you should buy in 2011. Also, this happens to be the slickest of the HDTV that you must have come across. The device is so thin as the bezel gets clad in that of the brushed metal, and the spider legs that are criss-crossed comes as a surprise to many. It is a fantastic high-end set that has made a mark in 2011.
Plastic Logic Que E-Reader


In case you wish to enjoy lifetime data connectivity as from that of AT & T, Plastic Logic Que E-Reader happens to be the ideal one to buy in 2011, as it also becomes a strong contender to find a place in top 10 amazing devices you should buy in 2011.

Plastic Logic in forging partnerships with that of many magazines and newspapers for having their content to be formatted specifically, so as to suit this device for preserving the print like formatting, speaks volumes about the potentials of this device.
Panasonic 3D Camcorder


Panasonic’s 3D plasma is also another of the incredible 3D TVs, but the 3D camcorder falls into the category of top 10 amazing gadgets you should buy in 2011. While 3D cameras embracing production-quality have been satiating the needs of professionals, Panasonic happens to be a frontrunner in bringing 3D video to that of the consumer level, which is planned for a launch in the fall pertaining to the year 2010.
Spring Design Alex E-Reader

The e-link screen found on that of Alex doesn’t remind us of any innovation, but, it is well compensated by the full-color touch screen that runs Android and it definitely reeks of innovation, which in turn blurs the line that separates minicomputer and that of the e-reader. This is one of the devices that falls in the category of top 10 amazing devices you should buy in 2011. All benefits pertaining to e-link gets offered through Alex, as benefits pertaining to a smartphone get proffered to add value to Alex.
Motorola BackFlip

This is the second of the Android-powered device that walks without any doubt into the list of top 10 amazing devices you should buy in 2011, and it is worth mentioning the innovative design pertaining to Motorola BackFlip. You can spot the keyboard on the rear side, as it flips over backwards as when typing gets necessitated while facing the screen. Motorola has given the build quality to this flimsy design to enable rock solid feel, and the table-top mode is a good use, which helps in turning the phone into that of a makeshift alarm clock as when the screen gets positioned as that of 90 degrees related to the base.
D-Link Boxee Box

As one of the top 10 amazing devices you should buy in 2011, it is robust HTPC software and has grown up finally from alpha. The cube design pertaining to the Box is good as is also the super-simple directional pad that is remote, which also increases the innovative value of this super device as you can also come by media controls on that of top portion and the bottom part unveils the QWERTY keyboard. A fine device in the offing is the D-Link Boxee Box.
Lenovo X100e

Lenovo x100e differs from the early releases of the company in being recognized as that of a ThinkPad, as it is also one of the top 10 amazing devices you should buy in 2011. With the high-res screen as well as a full-sized keyboard, Lenovo X100e reminds more of a ThinkPad, as you might even forget that it is a notebook after all, and buying the wonderful device is a worthy deal though the price seems to wear glorious tag around it.
Kodak PlaySport


The PlaySport has made use of its inherent guts as well as optics, and it also wraps the device up with that of drop-resistant, more durable, waterproof case, which helps as while it gets dragged to different places. This is one of the top 10 amazing devices you should buy in 2011, which has undergone a change in its interface, as the durability has improved by leaps and bounds with the price getting slashed to a purse-friendly range.

PSVita beating Nintendo 3DS: A industry first | Luigi in SM64 N64

You can't ring them up by putting the device up to your ear but in general I think they've got most of the capabilities that you'd find in a smartphone, with some unique capabilities that make them stand out. The 3DS launch titles has confusing titles for mainstreamers.

The PS Vita has 512 MB of RAM, two touch screens on front/back, a 4 core CPU, a 4 core GPU, a LED screen and different games.

The Playstation Portable was unsuccessful in North America, because it only had Daxter, Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid Portal Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for mainstream gamers. The Japanese liked mediocre JRPGs. The Europeans generally support Playstation consoles/handhelds, because Playstation 2 had Winning Eleven Soccer or EA's FIFA with dual shock controllers.

Someone found Luigi in Super Mario 64 (n64) as a easter egg. It is the Toad's Tool 64 exploitation of junk code.

Miyamoto: With Mario 64, we had an experiment that took advantage of the idea of the screen growing larger and smaller depending on how far apart the characters were. So we had Mario and Luigi running around in that 3-D world, but we ended up not using it.

Wired.com: Why did you decide not to use that Nintendo 64 game with Mario and Luigi?

Miyamoto: Ultimately, it’s the idea of processing speed and working within the constraints of the hardware. The DS Mario 64 had a mode with something similar to that, where you were playing with four characters.

Milk drunkard

Milk drunk ~ past the Milk DWI limit While in high school, I asked a black student there why he couldn't drink milk and he called me racist. I just knew I could drink milk and everybody else I thought I knew could. That's the 40% left. The reasons why Africa has stunted growth in brain development and in height; whereby, they cannot catch up. It's not normal. Somewhat less than 40% of people in the world retain the ability to digest lactose after childhood. The numbers are often given as close to 0% of Native Americans, 5% of Asians, 25% of African and Caribbean peoples, 50% of Mediterranean peoples and 90% of northern Europeans. Sweden has one of the world's highest percentages of lactase tolerant people.

Gnome 2.32 in openSUSE 12.1

I've been using Gnome 2.32 in Linux Mint 11 and OpenSUSE 11.4 and it is absolutely necessary that it stays in this openSUSE 12.1 and 12.2. Gnome 2.32 is stable and Gnome 3 crashes so I don't want that option. KDE 4.7 would be a much more stable desktop than Gnome 3. A lot of people including me don't like going backwards.

openSUSE 11.1 had both KDE 3.5.10 and KDE 4.1.3, remember? The SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 better not have only Gnome 3.1 in it. What a disaster in the making! Fedora 15 Gnome experience was supposed to be awfully unstable.

The blog for Julie & Julia found

I found that blog for the movie Julie and Juilia which got a 7.1 on IMDB. It was about blogging about Julia Child who airs on Food Network. Amy Adams was the one who wrote the blog. The best blogs are my blog(s), Michael Hyaatt, and Seth Godlin.

As far as DVDs are concerned, I bought Kemono no Souja Erin (IMDB 9.2) on ebay and two remaining boxsets of Trailer Park Boys on Amazon. Then as far as videogames: Killzone 3 (GS: 9.0),

SHMUPs Episode II: Next Gen

The first shmup I played was probably Darius Gaiden for Sega Saturn which was about a 7.5. Then I bought the pretty awesome Gradius V and R-Type Final for PS2. I pirated some saturn shmups and ps2 shmups for emulator usage. I got a modchip memory card that plays pirated PS2 SHMUPs on any PS2. Previously, I used PCSX2 of course.


I noticed a lot of expensive region free DoDonPachi Xbox 360 games out made by CAVE, the last SHMUP developer. SHMUPS are expensive and stupid, yet I pay up due to the $50 stable market value. I have nobody to show off too. DoDonPachi series is the hardest bullet hell shmups anywhere.


I purchased DoDonPachi Daioujou Black Label, Do Don Pachi Resurrection REV 1.5, Espgaluda II Black Label, Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 this week, because I had that kind of money. Each of these are as good as Gradius V on PS2. They have review scores ranging from 7.5 to 8.5. I also realize that I can get these SHMUPs free if I can find the MAME Roms via rapidshare (no easy task, yet I'm impatient $$$$).

Everybody sucks at these games. I am a suicidal pilot who is lucky to get to level 3 before game over. This happens to hardcore gamers as well. Theses games are really over the top as far as difficulty.


Guilty pleasure X360 games!!!

Antimatter catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion possible with testing

Now man-kind can understand how to get to Mars quicker with Antimatter catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion. Antimatter made & trapped in lab for the first time. at CERN's Geneva labs have recently managed to trap a sizeable amount of antihydrogenhave managed to trap a sizeable amount of antihydrogen.

Photobucket

With conventional technologies nuclear explosives can scale down to about 1/100 kiloton (10 tons, 42 GJ; W54), but making them smaller seems difficult. Large nuclear explosive charges require a heavy structure for the spacecraft, and a very large (and heavy) pusher-plate assembly. Small nuclear explosives are believed to stop shrinking in overall size and required fissile nuclear materials at around 25 kilograms weight, so smaller pulse units are much more expensive per delivered unit energy, and much less mass efficient than larger ones. By injecting a small amount of antimatter into a subcritical mass of fuel (typically plutonium or uranium) fission of the fuel can be forced. An anti-proton has a negative electric charge just like an electron, and can be captured in a similar way by a positively charged atomic nucleus. The initial configuration, however, is not stable and radiates energy as gamma rays. As a consequence, the anti-proton moves closer and closer to the nucleus until they eventually touch, at which point the anti-proton and a proton are both annihilated. This reaction releases a tremendous amount of energy, of which some is released as gamma rays and some is transferred as kinetic energy to the nucleus, causing it to explode. The resulting shower of neutrons can cause the surrounding fuel to undergo rapid fission or even nuclear fusion.

Discovery made of unnamed "Mass of any particles" boson

The discovery of a huger "Higgs Boson" is a CERN coverup now. If there was an encyclopedia on-board the crashed Roswell spacecraft of 1947, the Higgs Boson would be in it! All humans needed to find was a 'Rosetta Stone' to translate alien to English. So the Large Hadron Collider was built in 2009.

Report number ATL-COM-PHYS-2011-415
Title Observation of a γγ resonance at a mass in the vicinity of 115 GeV/c2 at ATLAS and its Higgs interpretation
Author(s) Fang, Y (-) ; Flores Castillo, L R (-) ; Wang, H (-) ; Wu, S L (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Imprint 21 Apr 2011. – mult. p.
Subject category Detectors and Experimental Techniques
Accelerator/Facility, Experiment CERN LHC ; ATLAS
Free keywords Diphoton ; Resonance ; EWEAK ; HIGGS ; SUSY ; EXOTICS ; EGAMMA
Abstract Motivated by the result of the Higgs boson candidates at LEP with a mass of about 115~GeV/c2, the observation given in ATLAS note ATL-COM-PHYS-2010-935 (November 18, 2010) and the publication “Production of isolated Higgs particle at the Large Hadron Collider Physics” (Letters B 683 2010 354-357), we studied the γγ invariant mass distribution over the range of 80 to 150 GeV/c2. With 37.5~pb−1 data from 2010 and 26.0~pb−1 from 2011, we observe a γγ resonance around 115~GeV/c2 with a significance of 4σ. The event rate for this resonance is about thirty times larger than the expectation from Higgs to γγ in the standard model. This channel H→γγ is of great importance because the presence of new heavy particles can enhance strongly both the Higgs production cross section and the decay branching ratio. This large enhancement over the standard model rate implies that the present result is the first definitive observation of physics beyond the standard model. Exciting new physics, including new particles, may be expected to be found in the very near future.


Fermi-lab found a bump in the diphoton mass spectrum at a mass of ~115 GeV. If the Higgs exists, it is expected to produce a bump in that spectrum, and 115 GeV is a very probable value for the mass of the Higgs. Higgs peak in this spectrum could be larger than expected if there exist new, heavy particles that we haven’t discovered yet?. The latest published result from CDF sets a limit of about 30 times the expected rate at 115 GeV in the diphoton channel.

So they found something like a Higgs Boson! Lets all just call it the Higgs Boson and cerebrate with Gatorade!

Mitt Romney frontrunner without Straw Polls is a good thing

It is always nice when my chosen Republican is still the front runner. He wasn't even there instead campaigning at the state fair. He couldn't have won them if he wasn't in them. Bachmann won the Ohio straw poll. Ron Paul Wins Presidential Straw Poll at CPAC for the 2nd year. The other candidates are either too inexperienced (Bachman), too libertarian (paul, Cain), too flamboyant and bouncing off the walls (Newt Gingrich).

The democrats are just playing the class struggle Bolshevik/Frankfurt school card, Democratic National Committee: "As we expect to see tonight, the GOP candidates' extreme aims to appease the far-right wing of the Republican Party shows that Republicans are more concerned with protecting their special interest friends and the wealthy than protecting working families" "Expect the overwhelming majority of the Republicans on the stage tomorrow night to proudly state that they would not have supported the bipartisan debt agreement that prevented our country from defaulting on its debt for the first time in history"

Rush Lambaugh on AM

I hate this, KTLK turned into a stupid sports radio this week. Rush Limbaugh is now only on a fox news network on 1330 AM, and it won't come in well at all. At night, there is no way I can listen to Jason Lewis on AM. I've sent a complaint to St. Croix County prompting whomever/whenever to realign a radio repeater to enhance 1130 AM broadcasts in the county. It's first amendment infringement if I cannot tune into Rush Limbaugh.

Google+

The most popular user on Google+ right now may be Linus Torvalds, founder of the Linux kernel. I got a Google+ account, but none of my Yahoo imported Facebook friends are on it. Google+ won't interface with Facebook itself. Like Blogging, nobody has time to try it out. It is a beta. The beta works fine and didn't crash my browser. The Google + beta doesn't have games so people ignore it so far. I've been a member for three weeks now. The worst aspect of this site is there isn't anyone else to add, because I interfaced with Yahoo.

Whatever happened to Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft games, yet facebook users seemly cannot leave their Mafia Wars or Farmville games or reload pictures.

Quantum Zeno effect apocalyse

For years, scientists have been scouring the cosmos for some kind of bizarre hypothetical anti-gravity bullshit they're calling "dark energy". And they've had some success with it ... perhaps at the expense of our mortal souls.

To grossly simplify it, on a scale smaller than atoms, the quantum level, everything suddenly turns into a goddamn circus. Quantum physics is to regular everyday physics as a David Lynch film is to a mainstream blockbuster. We're talking particles popping in and out of existence, being in two places at the same time, and generally acting like assholes.


No doubt the strangest part is the Quantum Zeno effect, which points out that simply observing and measuring particles changes them (specifically, changing the rate at which they decay). How? No one knows. It appears to be the closest science has ever come to proving black magic exists.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

One prominent scientist theorized that the changes caused by simply observing dark energy could cause it to collapse, taking the universe with it.

Scientists, eager to see if this is true, are furiously observing dark energy whenever they get the chance.

So, Basically It's Like...

It's like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters, apparently.

How Long Have We Got?

That scientist, Professor Lawrence Krauss, thinks it may already be underway. Apparently, in the late 90s, scientists were looking at a bunch of shit exploding in space when they caught their first glimpse of some dark energy. This may have put the universe into a state where it may or may not pop like a soap bubble at any given instant. Just because we looked at it. Holy balls.

Risk Level: 3

This ... this can't be right, can it? Surely the guy's just nuts. Then again, he appears to be one of the most prominent physicists in the country and has published a huge list of papers and books on the subject.

Then again, one of them was The Physics of Star Trek and, now that we think about it, we're pretty sure he stole this whole scenario from an episode of The Next Generation.

prosciutto and caramelized onion pizza



So just to confirm we’re all on the same page here – cheese, sweet caramelized onions, and then prosciutto.




Prosciutto and Caramelized Onion Pizza


Adapted from Pioneer Woman


(serves 4)


What You’ll Need:



1 pizza dough (I used TJ’s Whole Wheat – $1.29)


1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil ($.08 at $.08/tablespoon)


1 whole red onion halved and thinly sliced ($.59 at $.59/lb)


1/4 cup brown sugar ($.10 at $.75/lb)


sea salt


1/4 cup asiago or parmesan cheese ($.31 at $4.99/lb)


1 cup grated mozzarella or thinly sliced fresh mozzarella ($1.24 at $4.99/lb)



2-3 oz. prosciutto (about $2.00 for half a 5 oz. package at $3.99)


Instructions


Preheat oven to 500 degrees.


Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Add onions and brown sugar and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until onions are cooked and become sort of caramely.


Roll out pizza dough to desired thickness.


Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and asiago or parmesan cheese. Top with mozzarella and then caramelized onions.


Bake about 15 minutes in the oven at the lowest rack, until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven, top with prosciutto, slice, and prepare to be dazzled.

Alzheimer cure semi-found thru Cloning

Cloning animals is legal in the United States, yet the South Koreans try to save the elderly having Alzheimers are Parkisons. They've cloned Tegon who can glow in the dark. The new mutations in Tegon can be swapped with any substituted with genes that trigger fatal human diseases. It's been done with somatic cell nuclear transfer technology :P

There are 268 illnesses that humans and dogs have in common.

Minneopa

I wasn't able to stay home and watch DirecTV or Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, play Catharine on PS3, and create another facebook event. I had to travel stupid 85 miles to Mankato, Minnesota to see Minnaopa waterfall in 90 degrees Fahrenheit. No one showed up at my Facebook event to get acquaintances I've made to photograph with me (everyone else gets it with this double standard). I assure you that moderate enough to talk what they desire. I am sure my Facebook friends with 400 comrades are talented enough to be chosen so I am jealous of their getting invitations on days like these. I am sure this Brock who say "What the fuck you talking about?" is easily more talented with 750 comrades. So I called him a bitch! Too many of my Facebook friends are real bitches.

Uneducated Facebook users vote Camaro?

Why is the worst sports car voted the most on facebook ?


Ford Mustang (2) has better handling and is much better rounded than Camaro . Is lowering the bar further good for karma and friends? Yep. The culture is degenerating - proof!
