Neil Armstrong, who took a giant leap for mankind
I was 12 years old at the time. As I recall it, Dad was away on TDY (temporary duty) in the Air Force, and my younger brother and sister were tucked in bed asleep. So Mom and I sat together in our darkened living room, watching on our little black-and-white television while Neil Armstrong made history.
Afterward, we went outside and looked up at the moon and marveled that human beings at that very moment were walking around up there. In a very strange time in our nation’s history, replete with assassinations and riots and turmoil, it served as a reminder that almost unimaginable feats could still be accomplished.
It was a moment that, sadly, cannot be explained to those who were not there to experience it, in large part because we cannot replicate the genuine sense of awe and wonder felt worldwide.
Rest in peace, Neil Armstrong.

“I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer,” he said in February 2000 in one of his rare public appearances. “And I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession.”

G Mare,
I’m thinkin’ more along the lines of how our nation is being taken over by a handful of wealthy elite that are more interested in expanding their own personal empires than in being contributing members of this nation. The Koch Brothers, for example, would have us all fend for ourselves or drop dead and then they would curse the dead for daring not clean up after themselves. That’s not the attitude that brought us this far. I do think Obama has that correct attitude but he needs legislators that will work with him, not against his every move.

Released in 1979, just a decade after Apollo 11’s trip to the Moon, the 8086’s cousin, the 8088, formed the basis for the IBM PC we all know and love. When the IBM PC “XT” was released in 1981, the lowest end configuration had 8 times more memory than Apollo’s Guidance Computer — 16k, vs the Apollo’s 2k. The read-only storage of the AGC was 32k,

America in the Sixties was in a much worse place than America today. If people don’t take a deep breath and realize that, we’ll see the bad side of that decade repeated all over again. What should worry people is that weapons and technology are much more readily available, easily accessible, and far more deadly now than they were then.

In 1999, a Texas jury imposed a $296 million verdict on a Koch pipeline unit — the largest compensatory damages judgment in a wrongful death case against a corporation in U.S. history. The jury found that the company’s negligence had led to a butane pipeline rupture that fueled an explosion that killed two teenagers.

From 1999 through 2003, Koch Industries was assessed more than $400 million in fines, penalties and judgments. In December 1999, a civil jury found that Koch Industries had taken oil it didn’t pay for from federal land by mismeasuring the amount of crude it was extracting. Koch paid a $25 million settlement to the U.S.
Phil Dubose, a Koch employee who testified against the company said he and his colleagues were shown by their managers how to steal and cheat — using techniques they called the Koch Method.

Sally Barnes-Soliz, who’s now an investigator for the State Department of Labor and Industries in Washington, says that when she worked for Koch, her bosses and a company lawyer at the Koch refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas, asked her to falsify data for a report to the state on uncontrolled emissions of benzene, a known cause of cancer. Barnes-Soliz, who testified to a federal grand jury, says she refused to alter the numbers.
“They didn’t know what to do with me,” she says. “They were really kind of baffled that I had ethics.”
Koch’s refinery unit pleaded guilty in 2001 to a federal felony charge of lying to regulators and paid $20 million in fines and penalties.

The executive editor of the New York Times is disputing an accusation of liberal bias made by her very own public editor, Arthur Brisbane.
In his final column for the Times, Brisbane wrote that his fellow staffers “share a kind of political and cultural progressivism” that “virtually bleeds through the fabric of The Times.” Brisbane even argued that Times reporters approached some liberal issues, like gay marriage and the Occupy movement, “more like causes than news subjects.”

http://www.freep.com/article/20120826/NEWS07/308260290/Moonwalker-s-a-got-lost-in-transmission
Was the walk on the moon one small step for man, or a man?
Neil Armstrong’s first words from the moon were heard all over Earth, and Earth heard this: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
But Armstrong said immediately after the 1969 landing that he had been misquoted. He said he actually said, “That’s one small step for a man.” It’s just that people didn’t hear it.
The astronaut acknowledged during a 30th anniversary gathering in 1999 that he didn’t hear himself say it either when he listened to the transmission from the July 20, 1969, moon landing.
“The ‘a’ was intended,” Armstrong said. “I thought I said it. I can’t hear it when I listen on the radio reception here on Earth, so I’ll be happy if you just put it in parentheses.”
Here’s to your next journey, Neil.

That was Terry Bozzio drums. Frank wrote a piece of drum music trying to stump Terry. It is called the black sheet because there were so many notes written on the page the sheet was almost black.
Here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQt2inyxNNg
See bman, you can`t get info like this over “there”.
Well let you flip flop and come on over……………..If you have picture ID, Birth Certificate, Library Card, and a letter saying you ain`t a unicorn.

Bruno left here a while back in a hissy fit.
I still don’t quite understand why.
Maybe he wasn’t getting the love he needed from Jay.

“Bruno left here a while back in a hissy fit.

Bruno was disasterously wrong in his prognostications about the AHA, was on this very board at 2:00a the night before the SCOTUS decision happily warming up his endzone dance and his nya nya nya’s… then after the ruling he flamed out, told all us “libs” to “stick it up our a$$es”, proceeded to ramble on about how he and his girlfriend were in fear for thier lives because of his posting here, what a sore loser, and an idiot… Bruno’s actions on that day revealed the true paranoid and pathetic person that resides within. You all can pine away for the loss of an unhinged, deluded wingnut from Jay’s libural blog, I say good riddance.

That’s why I missed it then 2am. Geesh. I guess he couldn’t sleep in anticipation of the ruling LOL
It’s too bad that some can’t get off their high horses.
Unless of course it’s MY high horse

Speaking of defense.
I had rather be hit by Ronnie Lott than come in here and present a dumb idea.
Get hit by Lawrence Taylor or blog planted by getalife?
Give me LT.
Bones will heal.
