Winter

Winter's finally here. Unfortunately, now that it is, I want summer. I like how cold it is and all, but I miss the sun. Plus, with where I live, we NEVER get snow. It's so annoying. Winter isn't enjoyable if you don't have snow...







You know the feeling you get when you sit somewhere alone, no sound, no people, and you feel like the only person on earth? That's what it feels like in the winter.............somehow. I don't know how that has anything to do with it, but it does. It's a happy but sad feeling. Having something awesome, but not having what you need.......

That's why I hate seasons. They change so quick, whether you've had enough or not... reminds me of people. Seems like they're all something you thought they were and end up being something completely different... it can be either good or bad. Some people, some friends are either the good ones, who'll stick by you no matter what, or the bad ones, who will only stick by you in the good times and run off in the bad. Or if they act like your friends so they can get what they want. Get to someone close to you. I'd rather have one of the good ones! ;)

I'm Back!!!!

I'm finally back. After such a long time of not being on here. I was making some bad choices and getting into some bad stuff but I'm done with that stuff and started over!!! It's awesome! I miss being on here. I won't be using it for school anymore but I will still use it for obsevation probably!
Give my opinion on things. Starting tomorrow! Seeya Later!

Search Locates Wreck of Australian Battle Cruiser That Sank in 1941

The wreck of battle cruiser HMAS Sydney has been found off off western Australia ending one of the country's most enduring maritime mysteries. The ship is in about 8,100 feet of water, and its hull is largely intact. It weighed 7,300 U.S. tons, making it the largest vessel from any country to be lost with no survivors during the war. That's both cool and sad at the same time. It's cool that they found those ships, but too bad there weren't very many survivors of the shipwreck.
It was not immediately clear whether these are plans to raise the Sydney if it is found. Rudd had instructed the defense Department to contact relatives of the sailors who died aboard the Sydney about the find. Ted Graham, chairman of the Finding Sydney Foundation, the group carrying out the search, said a remote-operated vehicle would be used to further examine the wreckage found on the sea floor for clues about the battle.

Mom, Sister Say Farewell to Michael

An 6-year-old Evansville boy name Michael Canary died on Friday after having lived with multiple tumors in his head that caused serious headaches that were so painful, he often vomited. When the boy died, he was 130 pounds, which was a result from a doctor's prescription. Michael underwent surgery last month to insert a small shunt that would help drain fluid from his head. It was supposed to be good for 10 years, but started leaking right away. He stopped breathing in his Mother's arms, and in his bed, which was exactly where he wanted to be when he died. That's really sad. I wish they could have done something to help him. If they had found a way to remove the tumors. Then he probably wouldn't have died.
He was getting morphine every hour at the end, so he must have been in pain. It wasn't quite a coma though, because if you bent down to give him a kiss, he'd turn his face in your direction. His appetite began to shut down two weeks ago. His Mother could only get him to eat baby food. When copies of the documents were received, it included documents from a pediatric oncology specialist at Riley's Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, which confirmed the tumors couldn't be cured.

Japanese Scientist's Glasses Can Find Anything

A Japanese scientist named Yasuo Kuniyoshi created a device that you put into your glasses so that if you lose something, it will play back the last place you had it. That would be really useful. I'd like to have that. Only I'd have goggles because I don't wear glasses. This device would be able to locate anything that was lost. I pod, remote control, cell phone, anything! The only problem would be if you lost your glasses. Then you'd have a serious problem. It has always been a problem that has vexed the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.
Proffesor Kuniyoshi has even greater ambitions for his software, ambitions that owe a lot to the visual display of the Terminator of science fiction. Although the experimental model shown exclusively to The Times Wednesday, is still too bulky for daily use, the team at the Tokyo University School of Information Science and Technology are confident that it can soon be miniaturized. It could even, they suggest, be small enough to look a little different from a normal pair of glasses.

Saturn Space Probe Dives Through Moon's Geysers

Three years after gigantic geysers were spied on an icy Saturn moon, the international Cassini spacecraft plunged through the fringes of the mysterious plumes to learn how they formed. Cassini was taken within 30 miles of the surface, its closest approach. That's pretty cool. They found geyser-like eruptions of ice particles and water vapor spewing from the south pole. That's not good. That could actually be a potential danger. If anyone were to go near that in a shuttle, it could kill them. It all just depends on whether or not the ice is big or small.
The unmanned probe was about 120 miles above the moon as it swept through the edge of the geysers and measures their chemical makeup. Scientists long believed that Enceladus, the shiniest star in the solar system, was cold and still because it resides hundreds of millions of miles from the sun. Scientists generally agree the presence of water, organic compounds, and a stable heat source are needed to support primitive life. The source of the geysers is a mystery, but some theorize reservoirs of liquid water below the surface are likely supplying the ice and vapor seen in the plumes. The Cassini mission is a collaboration between NASA and the European and Italian space agencies.

NASA Sending Frankenstein Into Space? Nah, Just 'Monstrous' Space Robot

A 12-foot-tall, 3,400 pound robot named Dextre is being built in a space station right now. The idea was thought up by Canadians, but Dextre is being delivered along with the first piece of Japan's massive Kibo space station, a float-in closet for storing tools, experiments and spare parts. For the first time, each of the five major international space station partners will own a piece of the real estate. Dextre, in fact, was once in the running to be the Hubble Space Telescope's savior. I saw a picture of Dextre, and I'll tell you, it really is enormous. It has two arms, and several storage compartments for tools.
The astronaut Garrett Reisman said that it is enormous, and even kind of scary. I bet it would be. Being up in space and while you're working on the space station, you see this enormous metal thing next to the station. I'd be freaking out! I also bet that Dextre is going to be very useful to the astronauts once it's finished being built.
