IMDB rating: 8.30 Plot: CREATURE COMFORTS is a brilliant and hilarious clay animation series about the lives of animals as told by the animals themselves. Interviews with these lovable claymation creatures leave no stone unturned, no tree unclimbed, no sea uncrossed in the quest to discover what our fine-finned, furred and feathered friends really think about the issues that are closest to their hearts.

I recently read about the vatican joining in the search for extra terrestrial life. Now I’m not looking for a political debate over this, and I realize that human beings are curious by nature, but seriously, if we land an unmanned shuttle on Europa like nasa wants, and we find life under the ice, all we’ve done is deplete our own dwindling resources. That won’t help us as a whole. What I’m looking for is some real intelligent insight as to why we don’t turn those resources toward our own colossal economic problems here on earth. Industrial civilization – including accoutrements such as the seeming normality of endless growth (of the "economy," "development," "globalization," food production, satellite technology, scientific knowledge, etc.) – have as their most fundamental basis, the temporary fossil fuel windfall. All these things owe their existence to that windfall, and the depletion of that windfall of energy resources will, in all likelihood, lead to curtailment of much of what we have come to regard as normal. That we live in a highly abnormal period is evident also in science. Something like 90 percent of the scientists who have ever lived are alive today. That’s just one trend that obviously cannot continue. There’s always been competition over allocation of scarce research monies in science, but the challenges ahead will take the issue of priorities to an entirely new level. Scientific and technological research, such as that conducted under Nasa’s rubric, will not be justified by the argument that there have in the past been useful spin-offs from endeavors undertaken for other purposes. The problems will be too acute for that. Research directly targeted at those problems will be the order of the day. Science will also have to refine its processes for ruthlessly deciding among the competing claimants for research dollars, as everyone repackages their research in terms of the new needs. (And the general society will have to downscale its view of what those needs are. The simplistic demand for a new "energy source" to run hypertrophied business-as-usual is probably doomed to failure.) Launching vehicles into space is inherently energy intensive, and as the world enters the era of ever-diminishing energy supplies and the accompanying dislocations (contrasted with the seemingly ever-increasing energy supplies of the past couple of centuries), this kind of activity will have to be halted (probably not by anyone’s decision, but by disruptions to complex systems on which it is predicated) or phased out according to some timetable. There is another good reason to fund science, in my view, and that is to increase our understanding of the universe around us. If people will be giving up a lot in terms of their material expectations, perhaps it is not too much to hope that they might settle on a livelier intellectual culture than was the norm in the Age of Consumerism – and that would include the culture of science. Perhaps some of the world’s dwindling ability to conduct scientific research will be allocated to this end as well – science for the sake of enlightenment. At least we might make it a priority to try preserve our ability to process the results of past research, which means developing future scientists, perhaps leading to improved theories to account for data accumulated during the age of abundance. | Nov 25, 2009 The truth is that there is life out there, and they told us never to come back. And yet NASA and the Illuminati keep trying to, which is going to eventually cause galactic uproar. And even if they DO find the life that’s there, all its going to do is cause media coverage and such things, which is exactly what the government wants. If we fear these things, eventually the idea of war will come about. And some saviors (the show V, anyone?) will come and protect us from them… TheNewTwANgEr | Nov 25, 2009 So, in your view then, putting the tens (possibly hundreds) of thousands of people involved in the space program out of work will *help* the economic crisis? How does that work, exactly? Speaking only to your "economic resources" question: Space program money isn’t spent in outer space. It’s spent here, on Earth, and funds good jobs all over America. Civilian spin-offs from NASA research have created whole industries that now thrive without any taxpayer subsidy. – Joe Probably for the same reason that they don’t put the industrial/military complex on hold, it’s not cost effective. Just think of all the good that could done with all that money being spent on wars that no one but the most wealthy benefit from. "all we’ve done is deplete our own dwindling resources. That won’t help us as a whole." According to Niel deGrasse Tyson, scientific research is beneficial to the economy, and it has been since the industrial revolution. Keep in mind that NASA has extremely low funding compared to funding for many other government programs. NASA has invented and inspired the creation for many inventions, including smoke detectors, wireless technology, satellite TV, GPS, and more. The whole of NASA’s research benefits us through innovation and invention. Indeed, it is hard to see immediate gains from a discovery of life on another world or water ice on the moon, but NASA is all about the long term big picture. You never get anywhere without pushing your boundaries. Consider how both war and the exploration of space have contributed to technology and advancement. And how, in turn, those advancements spur economic growth. Given the choice, I prefer the peaceful exploration of space. As a side note, the actual figure is something like 1/2 of one cent of every dollar you spend in taxes goes to NASA funding. Without NASA, there would be no cell phones or satellite tv. No velcro or easy plastic storage containers. It is an extremely cost effective program! You mean you are actually worried about the tiny NASA budget that funds our space program. AND creates jobs all over the USA? ACTUAL JOBS, not fake ones as was done with the recent $700 billion expenditure from Congress. Plus these are great engineer, software, and aerospace industry jobs. How about closing down the Dept of Housing and Urban Development (boy they did a really good job with the housing crisis!) and the Dept of Education( still trying to figure out exactly WHO they educate), and the Dept of Energy (what energy have they actually ever produced?). So, putting tens of thousands of people out of work is an economic plus? Then restarting the program after several years when everyone has forgotten what they knew, died or retired and everything will have to be re-learnt again would be a good idea? Did you know that virtually nobody working for NASA now knows about the Saturn V rockets used on the Moon shots? They have all retired or died. It was 47 years ago that the designs were well advanced. People who were 25 then are 72 now. I have a better idea. How about telling top military officers that some of their pet projects are a crock of sh!t and are to be discontinued? Yes, some of them really are crocks. If I recall correctly, the LCROSS mission to look for water on the Moon cost $79 million. Divide that by the number of schools and hospitals in the USA, and see how much every place gets. Add the numers of schools and hospitals around the world that need assistance and everybody gets a box of pencils free. $79 million buys land and builds a few hundred houses, depending on the locality. It’s maybe 1500 advanced scientific instruments that could be used in ordinary non-space laboratories in routine analysis and testing of air, water, soil, minerals etc. It’s maybe four times that number of photocopiers. You know you're a Mom when you?Author: kylehubbard195911 27th, 2009
You Know You’re a Mom When: 2. When the kids are fighting, you threaten to lock them in a room together and not let them out until someone’s bleeding. 3. You can’t find your cordless phone, so you ask a friend to call you, and you run around the house madly, following the sound until you locate the phone downstairs in the laundry basket. 4. You spend an entire week wearing sweats. 5. Your idea of a good day is making it through without a child leaking bodily fluids on you. 6. Popsicle become a food staple. 7. Your favorite television show is a cartoon. 8. Peanut butter and jelly is eaten at least in one meal a day. 9. You’re willing to kiss your child’s boo-boo, regardless of what body part it happens to be on. 10. Your baby’s pacifier falls on the floor and you give it back to her after you suck the dirt off of it because your too busy to wash it off. 11. Your kids make jokes about farting, burping, pooping, etc., and you think it’s funny. 12. You’re so desperate for adult conversation that you spill your guts to the telemarketer that calls and HE hangs up on YOU! 13. Spit is your number one cleaning agent. 14. You’re up each night until 10 PM vacuuming, dusting, wiping, washing, drying, loading, unloading, shopping, cooking, driving, flushing, ironing, sweeping, picking up, changing sheets, changing diapers, bathing, helping with homework, paying bills, budgeting, clipping coupons, folding clothes, putting to bed, dragging out of bed, brushing, chasing, buckling, feeding (them, Not you), PLUS swinging, playing baseball, bike riding, pushing trucks, cuddling dolls, rollerblading, basketball, football, catch, bubbles, sprinklers, slides, nature walks, coloring, crafts, jumping rope, PLUS raking, trimming, planting, edging, mowing, gardening, painting, and walking the dog. You get up at 5:30 AM and you have no time to eat, sleep, drink or go to the bathroom, and yet … you still managed to gain 10 pounds. 15. In your bathroom there is toothpaste on the light fixtures, water all over the floor, a dog drinking out of the toilet and body hair forming a union to protest unsafe working conditions. 16. You buy cereal with marshmallows in it. 17. The closest you get to gourmet cooking is making rice krispie bars. hahahhaa You Know You’re a Mom When: Lego’s become embedded in your feet daily or find their way into your vacuum. Your Beautiful White cat Now Looks like rainbow brite threw up on it There’s a mysterious spot on your carpet, and instead of cleaning it up you move furniture around to cover it Goldfish crackers, ranch dressing, ketchup, plain pasta fish sticks and milk make up at least 1 meal every day for your child. the sight of vomit use to make your stomach turn, now you just hope it makes it to the toilet in time you know more lyrics to cartoons and kids songs then you do on the top 40’s chart you have a party to celebrate your baby finally being potty trained, yet you wont even celebrate your own birthday any more you catch yourself taking in a high pitched voice to your husband and making gaga noises when he does something… for the first time.. like.. clean the house! you consider washing your hair a thing of the past, it’s all about the dread locks now!

Best camera to get tomorrow ?(black friday sales woo)?Author: kylehubbard195911 26th, 2009
Okay, well, I’m going to try and explain what I feel is most important in the camera that I want: Effects/features: Pretty Important. I want a camera that I can make my photos black and white, sepia, and just a bunch of cool effects(but i want it to be rather user-friendly and not too hard to figure out.) Picture quality: Okay, I DEFINITELY do not want my pics to come out blurry. (unless, of course, that’s the effect im looking for." I like clean pictures. I don’t consider my myself much of a photographer so I don’t need an uber high-end, expensive camera but I like to do modeling pics, and take pictures of pretty landscapes and such. Effects/features part 2: As for the other stuff, such as zooming, and uh other stuff..sorry my knowledge on cameras aren’t too great, isn’t all that important. As long as it can zoom in and out that’s great. But It doesn’t have to be overdone. Overall: I want a camera with cool effects. Good picture quality(including pictures taken in the night), and the ability to capture landscapes and pictures overall without really blurring and such. BTW: The mega-pixel number isn’t of great importance at all. As long as the pictures come out good. The 150 dolllars cameras are always good. Santa's Girl | Nov 26, 2009 Do any of you remember Al Capps comic strip of Lil Abner?Author: kylehubbard195911 26th, 2009

I think it was a 40’s movie and Ida Lupino played a nurse? The Snake Pit. She won an oscar for it. Sorry my mistake that was Olivia De Havelland. I have looked thru I think all her movies. He did an awful lot of TV work. Maybe it was one of those. Search for her name on IMDB.COM and check there. I’ve tried the movies. Jon Buquor | Mar 09, 2008 |
