Mercury

The cratered expanse pictured above was mostly in darkness 30 years ago when NASA's Mariner 10 spacecraft made the first and (until now) only flybys of Mercury. Last week, MESSENGER caught the terrain in sunlight for the first time.

…

"These are fantastic images," says Murchie. For one thing, "we've gotten our first good look at Caloris Basin," the biggest known impact crater on Mercury and one of the biggest craters in the entire solar system.

Right: Typical of the images returned by MESSENGER, this horizon shot shows the beautifully shadowed crater named Sholem Aleichem.

Introducing Serge

Serge is a good friend of our family. He is good at tap dancing, modelling and soccer. His problem is he can't find any chicks... so if you know of someone that matches him, write to me and we will arrange something...

Just kidding... he is already taken.

What is "Today"?

Yesterday is history,

Tomorrow, a mystery,

Today, a gift.

Thus, it is called the "present".

Introducing my Down Syndrome Daughter's web album

This is our beautiful Julie, she is currently almost 21 years old and received a Sony DSC-S650 Digital camera for Christmas. We created her own Web Album and since Julie cannot write or read, I did the captions... trying to think the way she does. This will be updated periodically. We are very proud of our dearest Angel. Here is her new webalbum site.

If you are a new parent of a Down Syndrome child and are confused or even if you hurt, please contact us. There are many wonderful things that you may not know about this wonderful unique type of individual. Do talk to other parents to discover an entire universe of bliss... believe me.

Mary... did you know?

Here are 2 videos on the One called the "I am".

Worth your time.

Have a great Season everyone.

HEROES

I am currently recuperating from a double disability. One of them included my left rib cage being broken in 7 places, left lung punctured, etc... All this happened in Japan. I am trying to find something of interest for my own sanity. Well, I loved LOST but the idiots are postponing the show. Then, I found PRISON BREAK... but again, those idiots decided to postpone their series. Nothing seems to interest me... until I discovered "HEROES". That is still on and that does "distract" me in a positive sense. You should rent the first series and start from the beginning. They are currently in their second season but that is not where I am currently. I have only seen the first of 5 episodes of season one. At any rate, ck it out.

Our last Holloween

This is my family on Holloween night.
Each of us take turns to give candies to the
kids who knock on our door. Don't miss me... I am at the end of the table...

Success...

The Premiere of our 2006 movie was wonderful. Far more people showed up than expected and the night was fabulous!

Prison Break

At this time in my life, my favorite TV show is "Prison Break".

Also, view this beautiful "Mad world/Prison Break" video.

But I just discovered that Fox may be postponing the future episodes until January 14th 2008. Fox seems to making the same mistake as ABC did with their Lost Series... that is expected back on TV only in Feb. 2008.

I am afraid that this will simply cause a lack of interest on the part of the viewers. It sucks!!!

PB has 4 more episodes shot and finished (so no relation with the Script writers strike). Wassup Fox... and wassup ABC???

What do you think? Would Canada give away it's sovereignty? (Or is this "info" a bait?)

The following video originally on YouTube has been "taken off" by YouTube. A disgrace! Someone is "controling" us... My humble opinion. Sorry you can't see it anymore. It was worth your time and knowledge... but obviously, someone does not want you to know about this.


We found it again... look at this AMAZING VIDEO.

This site was banned... but search the RFID chip. They are now limiting it's use on "products"... but the main objective is to implant it in humans...

What seems "insignificant" is sometimes "magnificiant"...

This is a story about a regular guy (Paul Potts), who like most of us, sometimes questions his existence, measuring himself to others, not believing enough in his abilities or his worth. Then one day, his passion outgrew his fears as he stepped onto a stage, stopped doubting himself and rose to the occasion. Watch the faces of the judges as this "normal" guy walks out on the stage. You can almost see what they're thinking as they pre-judge him based on his looks and the fact that he's a cell phone salesman. Maybe he stopped believing in what people told him for so many years and ultimately started listening to his heart...his passion. He started to vibrate and he came out of his cocoon and he decided to share his God given talent with the rest of us. Listen to him and see if you're not uplifted... On the next link, there are 2 videos to see. View them both... and enjoy... Do scroll down after the first presentation. There is more below. Scroll down.

Get the Album... "One Chance".

The Chronicles of Narnia continues... Prince Caspian is coming in May 08.

There are 7 volumes. Disney is presenting them in the order that CSL wrote them. Narnia has always been presented in a different order. Disney decided to present them in the order of the Autors's time/space writing. (Not necessary right... and not necessary wrong...) One thing is certain. The whole thing is MOST interesting.

I have read them (traditional order) to my children. It was night. Portions every night. (Since I have a number of children, each one was at a different book...).

Then, we discussed. (By the way, I read with a small flashlight, in the dark. I just had sufficent light to read outloud. I was usually on the floor... but sometimes did share their little beds ( with one leg holding me up o).

Lewis is as a Genius as Tolken is. Please remember that Aslan, according to C.S. Lewis... is CHRIST.

Fantastic!!!

Robert and his new capture

Robert is a good friend of mine. He just came back from a fishing expedition on Lake Ontario (Port Darlington). In his hands, Robert proudly holds his Coho Salmon, estimated to around 14 lbs. Well done Bob.
