| Tooting: Centre of the Universe | | 2008-07-16 02:42:01 | | Forget Balham: Gateway to the South? It's Tooting: Centre of the Universe from now on.From the Sun:A south London planet expert has named a crater he discovered on Mars after the area he was born in. Pete Mouginis-Mark, 53, named the 17.4 mile wide feature on the red planet Tooting, hoping the title would be adopted by the US Geological Survey.He said that the meteorite crater, which sits at latitude 23.1N, 152.4W, is close to a small river valley and reminded him of Tooting Bec. Mr Mouginis-Mark, who lived in south London until 1970, discovered the feature in September and applied to the International Astronomical Union to register the name.He said: "I named the crater Tooting because I thought my mum and brother would get a kick out of having their home town paired with a land form on Mars."The scientist, acting director of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics andPlanetology, said the crater was one of the youngest of its type on the Red Planet.Local Labour MP Sadiq Khan said: "For tho | | By: The Wandsworth Companion | | |

| The universe | | 2008-07-13 19:57:42 | | i was thinking about the universe the other day and how amazing it is. How vast the stars and galaxies are from us and that God created the heavenlies and i hear that they are still expanding. We are finding newer clusters of stars all the time. So i have been watching star trek recently and i love that show. And my question for God is if we as human society will ever get a chance to explore the universe like that of star trek before the Lords coming. I hear a lot of people talking about the lords coming and how it could be soon and that we are living in the last days. But i was thinking how we haven't even explored Gods most amazing creation. 2000 years ago the apostles were heralding the coming of christ and said that we are living in the last days. I do not see the church right now ready for the lords coming and i hope there is still plenty of time. Also I feel God has raised me and my family up to do something amazing for him somewhere, and that we will be like living signs and w | | By: Illumination | | |

| Top 10 reasons The Star Wars Characters Would Kick Butt In The Star Trek Universe | | 2008-06-14 08:20:02 | | 10. In the Star Wars universe, weapons rarely, if ever, are set on “stun”.9. The Enterprise needs a huge engine room with an anti-matter unit and a crew of twenty just to go into warp—the Millennium Falcon does the same thing with R2-D2 and a Wookiee.8. After resisting the Imperial torture droid and Darth Vader, Princess Leia still looked fresh and desirable. After pithy Cardassian starvation torture, Picard looked like hell.7. Jabba the Hutt would eat Harry Mudd for trying to cut in on his action.6. Luke Skywalker is not obsessed with sleeping with every alien he encounters.5. One word: “light sabers”.4. The Federation would have to attempt to liberate any ship named Slave I.3. Darth Vader could choke the entire Borg empire with one glance.2. Picard pilots the Enterprise through an asteroid belt at one-quarter impulse power. Han Solo floors it.1. The Death Star doesn't care if a world is class “M” or not. | | By: Stupid Tips | | |

They moved to Arizona when they retired from their regular jobs so they could work at a Native American Boarding School. But even before that they spent their lives serving others.But wow, they have slowed down so much in the past year. Every single minute of life is an ordeal, and requires a lot of planning and patience. I have done my best to be understanding and have fared pretty well, but it is a good thing that I brought along my mellow children as this would have been nearly impossible for some of the others. The thing that has amazed me most about my parents is that they have consistently been content. Regardless of whatever has happened to them, how poor they have been, what their health has been like, they live a simple existence and are always grateful for what they have and content. It is something I can certainly learn from them.I find that when I am here I am forced to slow waaaaaay do | | By: Never a Dull Moment | | |

I finished EZ mode for all the different alien races in the - small campaign scenario. now, I am playing in medium mode in - small campaign scenario. there are 5 different campaign scenarios. and there are 3 different modes - EZ, medium, difficult. AND there are 3 alien races. each of the 5 campaigns consists of at least 50 battles.you can imagine how long it would take to finish the game if you played all the different combinations.personally, I think I will just finish 2 campaign scenarios under EZ and medium mode before moving on to another game. | | By: Life of a Lounge Lizard | | |

| Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Announced | | 2008-04-20 14:49:12 | | In what has to be the weirdest crossover I have ever seen, Midway has announced Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, the eighth entry in the fighting series, which will see characters from either franchise duke it out against each other. In development at Midway Amusement Games, the game is powered by Unreal Engine 3 and is slated to hit PS3 and Xbox 360 this Fall. Four characters have been confirmed so far: Superman and Batman from DC Comics, and Mortal Kombat veterans Sub-Zero and Scorpion. The game, if comments made by a Midway representative are true, will not feature the series' trademark ultra-violent Fatalities. This may be due to the inclusion of DC Comics characters. However, players will still be able to pull off some form of a finishing move. The storyline is said to be a collaboration between the Mortal Kombat team and DC Comics writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. Apparently, the game picks up as "a cataclysmic force merges conquerors from two universes." More details are | | By: Online Games | | |

| Why China is the REAL master of the universe | | 2008-04-12 05:45:00 | | The hunger for raw materials is making China lose its shyness and venture out into the world. Like Germany and Russia, China has traditionally been a land empire, focusing its expansionist energies on countries it had borders with, and it eschewed the world-conquering exploits of Europe's sea-faring maritime nations.Europeans have, for half a millennium, been unchallenged as the global colonisers, but last month the respected Economist magazine dubbed the Chinese "The New Colonists".While the Congo in central Africa was once over-run by Belgians, it is now the Chinese that can be found wondering around its mining belts. In Lubumbashi, the capital of the Congo's copper-rich region Katanga, the Economist reported "a sudden Chinese invasion". Troubled Angola recently shunned Western financial aid because of the amount of Chinese money pouring into it, in return for commodities.From Kazakhstan to Indonesia to Latin America, Chinese firms are gobbling up oil, gas, coal and metals.

| Universe as a Super Hologram | | 2008-03-25 09:30:00 | | You may have heard about the startling parallels between recent discoveries in quantum physics and ancient beliefs of Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism through Books such as The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra in 1975 and The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav’s in 1979.“Holographic Paradigm” is a continuation of this shiny happy alliance with a particular model of the universe that seemed to explain not only puzzling scientific phenomena but psychic experiences as well. The holographic paradigm was so named because of certain very unusual feature of holograms.In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart.Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing | | By: Science & Technology Today | | |

| Across the universe in a previously unknown galaxy | | 2008-03-23 21:41:41 | | 7.5 billion light years ago, a star 40 times the size of our sun exploded. On Wednesday, March 19, the light from that explosion reached the earth, becoming the farthest away object to be visible to the naked eye from our planet.How far away was this sun? Well, one light year equals 5.9 trillion miles. Multiply that by 7.5 billion light years, and you have an explosion that came from halfway to the edge of the universe from our galaxy..How big is the universe? Scientists have calculated it as slightly larger than 156 billion light years.How old is the universe? Given the time scale involved, scientists have calculated rather closely-- 13.73 billion years old.How can the universe be "only" 13.73 billion years old yet be 173 billion light years wide? Because ever since the birth of the universe, the universe has been expanding, and the expansion is proceeding at an accelerated rate.However, it's not the galaxies themselves are travelling away from each -- it's the space in between | | By: Michaelann Land | | |

| Movie Review: Across the Universe | | 2008-03-06 20:05:54 | | Very few modern day movies manage to combine the best of American and British culture in the past and present. Even fewer (if any) manage to do it while reworking an entire collection of Beatles’ songs and encapsulating the history of the 60’s in flashes of imagery. Across the Universe attempts to bring all of these slices of apple-pie together in a tightly wrapped package complete with psychedelic ribbon. While some consider the result to be an utter failure (“A yawn and most unforgivably features some appalling arrangements of the Beatles' best-loved songs.” –Washington Post), others believe Across the Universe is a complete ode to Americana with a modern twist (“Here is a bold, beautiful, visually enchanting musical where we walk INTO the theater humming the songs.” – Chicago Sun Times.)Early on the film declares itself as taking two different vantage points, one of which attempts to cover the generational conflicts of the 60’s, the other being a more personal leve | | By: Motiveless Crime | | |

Every single time I see something like the photos below it causes one of those WOW moment in my life.My personal theories have changed over the years as to how, exactly, this could happen. Those theories don't stray too far from conventional wisdom and religious thought. Here are my choices as taught to me all of my life:God, The Almighty Creator + TimeA really big explosion + TimeI could use these photos to spark the debate over creation v. evolution. It's pretty simple to me, really. I'll come right out and say it. I'm a Christian (que sound: ominous hallelujah 1).Bye bye closed minded, intolerant people. Thanks for stopping in. Come'on back now, ya hear.However, if you're not sure where to put your subscriptions, have you thought about the starfish theory? The theory - as described to me by my friend BadBlood - is one of confused brilliance that leans, in my opinion, closer to what I believe is the correct answer | | By: Worlds Beyond Rittman | | |

| How Vast is Our Universe? VAST | | 2008-03-05 00:11:00 | | I haven't heard any recent developments on String Theory, which I find myself fascinated by. Nonetheless, the universe is still a beautiful and vast things, portrayed very nicely by Nikon.I like the descriptions and information this page give you as well. Very zen-like.

The number of elemental points in my chart are:Fire (Atzilut) - 8 (chet, ח)Water (Beriyah) - 0 (9 letters of nekudat ha-efes, נקודת האפס)Air (Yetzirah) - 4 (dalet, ד)Earth (Assiyah) - 2 (beit, ב)The elemental analysis of my natal chart confirms my prenatal memory of the fiery river as elucidated in A Mystery Of Consciousness, Chamber Of The Nest and First Beit.There are a total of 12 Hebrew letters marking the boundaries of my universe in the elemental associations of my natal chart.R. Aryeh Kaplan explains Sefer Yetzirah 5:1, teaching that if a person wishes to experience the Divine, she must begin with the boundaries of the universe.Note: Nekudat Ha-Efes means "zero" and "point of absolute nothing". | | By: Walking On Fire | | |

Sono fatti per stare insieme e, visto che il caso non esiste, si chiamano Lucy e Jude.
E' inutile girarci intorno. Julie Taymor ci ha regalato il film più emozionante della Festa del Cinema di Roma di quest'anno e, sicuramente, il più adatto a questo periodo dell'anno. Across the Universe o L'amore ai tempi dei Fab Four.
Non perdetelo.

| Carbon Credits or DARK MATTER Credits: Save The Planet OR The Universe? | | 2007-11-28 17:31:00 | | This one gave me a good chuckle, as does anything that ridicules the inane such as "global whining." But leave it to Glenn Beck to really have some fun with overbearing stupidity.Today's e-letter from Glenn Beck contained an article about the "Dark Matter" being observed by scientists, may actually be converging on the Earth since it has now "been observed." Apparently, dark matter has just been tooling along, doing it's thing for ump-teen billions of millenia.But now that it has been observed, it's going to close in on us with a vengeance, and collapse the universe. Apparently, it seems that Dark Matter DOESN'T like to be observed, and likes to eradicate any who have seen it.But never fear, Glenn Beck to the rescue. Glenn is offering Dark Matter credits for those scientists and scientific communities who insist on viewing Dark Matter. For a mere $1,000.00 a year, Glenn states he "will not view dark matter."Glenn also poses the idea that perhaps since this is such a troubling dilem | | By: Hoopy Frood Dude | | |

| Fletch's Film Review: Across the Universe | | 2007-10-02 01:17:00 | | If your 13 year old is struggling in their US History class, Julie Taymor's Across the Universe may just be the film to help him or her out. It's perfect in terms of being a Cliff's Notes educational tool - it's written at a 5th-grade level, it skims the surface of many a major event both political and cultural (Vietnam, MLK, hippies, the British Invasion, Bono), and it's a lot quicker to watch this two-hour flick than it would be to read On the Road or Ken Kesey or something like that.For those unaware, Universe is Taymor's ode/tribute to The Beatles, a wannabe Moulin Rouge-esque musical filled with nothing but songs from the Fab Four. It's also derivative, shallow and somewhat unbearably literal. For the "Hey Jude" number, wouldn't you know it - someone sings directly to a character named Jude. Ditto Prudence. As for Lucy (the female lead's name), I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" to be played, only to have to wait until the end credits to hear it (oops, MAJOR spoiler there...). Don't go in looking for subtlety, as it is nowhere to be found - any opportunity for a lyric to be transplanted onto screen is taken advantage of.All of this is not to say I didn't enjoy it - after all, I like to read USA Today every now and then, too. The film starts off slowly, as we are introduced to Jude (dockworker from wouldn't-you-know-it Liverpool) who sings to us about a girl named Lucy he kinda likes. Skip back in time to a gentler era, and the film laboriously introduces us to its major players (Jude, Lucy, her brother Max, a lesbian cheerleader named Prudence, [sexy] Sadie, JoJo [always on the run], etc.). It's not until about 45 minutes in that the pace picks up, as Vietnam, student demonstrations, drugs, and relationships all converge and force the characters into many a crossroad.The musical numbers and their corresponding set pieces vary wildly in quality and impact. Prudence sings to an unnamed cheerleader about her desire to "Hold [Her] Hand" while football players fly through the air in over-choreographed motions. Yawn. Jude croons an abbreviated version of the title track on a subway with some old people. Yawn. Max gets literally pulled into the Army by Uncle Sam and a troop of square-jawed soldiers to the tune of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" - again, literal, but still effective. The remaining highlights are all stolen during cameos by Bono, Eddie Izzard and, most effectively, Joe Cocker, singing "Come Together" while playing 3 roles. At least he didn't have to get by with a little help from his friends.So, should you see this? Well, you've probably already made up your mind based on your level of appreciation for The Beatles. If you like them a lot, Across the Universe is worth checking out, despite its problems. Of course, if you do in fact like them that much, better to just spend some more money and go see Love in Vegas.Fletch's Film Rating:"You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you." | | By: Blog Cabins | | |

| The Universe: Alien Galaxies | | 2007-09-27 01:42:57 | | I recommend this four part series to everyone. It's definitely fascinating and in a sense gives the viewer a somewhat tangible grasp of the vastness of our galaxy and the universe in general. There are some amazing comparisons and humbling forecasts about the past and future that I hope seeds some thought.The original description of the show (below) is an incredible understatement of the brilliant content that lies within.Distant galaxies far beyond the Milky Way are examined through the Hubble Space Telescope.The Universe: Alien Galaxies-2The Universe: Alien Galaxies-3The Universe: Alien Galaxies-4

| Princess of the Universe | | 2007-09-13 14:12:42 | | Highlander-The Series Highlander es una serie de televisión que duró de 1992 a 1998, interpretada por Adrian Paul, quien personifica a Duncan MacLeod, un Inmortal que vive en tiempos modernos mezclándose entre la sociedad y enfrentando a otros inmortales.Una de mis series favoritas, la mire casi toda mi infancia y mire todas las temporadas. Ahora me dio la loca y las estoy bajando de nuevo!!! *-*Los Inmortales:Los Inmortales son una raza especial de hombres y mujeres que sólo pueden morir al ser decapitados, produciéndose enfrentamientos y alianzas para seguir viviendo durante siglos. Después de decapitar a su oponente, el ganador dice “Sólo puede haber Uno”. Viven entre nosotros en silencio. Al igual que los Humanos, algunos son buenos y otros tienen los más bajos instintos, y harán lo que sea por perpetuar su vida. Ningún inmortal es hijo biológico de las personas que lo criaron. Tampoco pueden engendrar hijos con mortales u otros inmortales. La serie no explica el por qué. Los inmortales tienen la peculiaridad de que no envejecen, y apenas resultan heridos de cualquier forma se recuperan inmediatamente (salvo en los casos en que pierden la cabeza, que es la única forma en que mueren. Las reglas de los inmortales son algo míticas, luchan y cumplen con unos preceptos con la esperanza de que algún día el conflicto termine y quede uno solo que viva en paz por toda la eternidad; cosa que nunca ocurre, puesto que siempre, durante todos los siglos, surgen nuevos inmortales que se incorporan a la lucha contra los que ya tienen siglos existiendo. Si un inmortal pierde la cabeza por accidente, o en manos de un mortal, su quickening o poder pasa al del inmortal que este más cerca del suceso, así no haya tenido nada que ver en el acto.Reglas de los inmortales:Los Inmortales están sujetos a varias reglas sagradas durante sus duelos y a lo largo de sus vidas: 1.
