Sonic Wall

Sonic Wall....Does any one understand the logic on how it works? If so could you enlighten me.

Great Weather today....Thinking about my Golf Game!!!!

I was thinking about how early in the season, it seems that I have picked up a slice...:( Not a good thing..So I did a quick search for a way to cure a slice and came across this link..I am going to try this a few times...Up the Hill Drill - Swing Up the Hill to Fight a Slice and Learn an Inside-to-Outside Swing Path .... If it works it will probably take about 4-6 strokes off my game...which I really need to do! Will let you know how it works...

Ever Wonder.....!

Ever wonder?
I didn't write this. I got it as an email. But I totally DO wonder about such things!

EVER WONDER...

...why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
...why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
...why "abbreviated" is such a long word?
...why doctors call what they do "practice"?
...why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?
...why the man who invests all your money is called a broker?
...why there isn't mouse-flavored cat food?
...who tastes dog food when it has a "new & improved" flavor?
...why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?

If you could teach the world just one thing....

This morning I ran across a web site Spiked Science at http://www.spiked-online.com that was running a survey in regards to the Einstein Year project. In this survey they asked several prominent scientist across the world one question. "If you could teach the world just one thing...." I read through several of the responses and found one that I could really relate to. Here is the excerpt of that commment from Dr. Neville Reed director of communication and membership at the Royal Society of Chemistry. He stated this :

"I think that everyone should watch the 1995 film Apollo 13, directed by Ron Howard, which portrays many key attributes that should be valued by society. There's the scientific endeavour and technological achievement, to put men into space. There's the bravery of humans, and their willingness to take risks, in the pursuit of expanding and deepening our knowledge. There's the role of teamwork. And there's the lateral thinking needed, regardless of age, to solve problems.

This film reflects the underlying ordinariness of the science and technology that is, however, critical to our quality of life - protecting our environment, and assuring our future wealth. Through film, science is seen to be integral to our culture and everyday lives. The act of watching is a testament to what science and technology can do, but is often taken for granted. "

I have watched this film many times and everytime I do I come away with a new appreciation for the sciences and the courage and frailities of human kind... Maybe I will sit down and watch it again..just to make me feel proud and humble again....

Today I was a little abstract!
