Canary Islands, Future
One group of scientists believes that conditions are ideal for a tsunami-producing landslide on the island of La Palma in the Canaries. The western flank of the island's active volcano has the potential to give way in a future eruption. If it did, a huge mass of rock weighing 500,000 million tons would fall into the Atlantic Ocean. Experts in Switzerland have simulated the potential effects of such a collapse. Their model shows that it could generate a wave capable of engulfing every port on the east coast of the U.S., which they believe may have happened during a similar tsunami 120,000 years ago.

this is a note to a friend, which applies to all friends here

so I share it with my group: 

=================================================

I usually hit INBOX
& if there is a interesting blog going on
I might comment
some get upset with me from time to time
that I stop by but say nothing
I can't always think of something good to say
I don't always watch all videos
or listen to all music
I feel bad for that
but not everyone watches all of my videos either
probably cause there are SO MANY of them LOL
My most favorite blogs are blogs about life in general
& the things we all have in common
but do not realize how much we have in common
I think some people think they have to write some unique masterpiece
when really
a simple blog about everyday life usually gets a lot of attention
& sometimes a laugh
So, I'm not good about reponding to all posts
but I try to always answer all mail

I was lucky enough to catch this on PBS television Great Performances...

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Prokofiev)

but not ready with my recorder

I checked the schedule, but it is not scheduled to air again

I looked for it on sale online and for about $ 40.00     I could have a copy shipped from Europe to the USA

then........

I find it here

for FREE!

and FREE is good

a beautiful children's story done very well.....watch it here....

Big excitement today....I was chased by a dog while riding my bike!

I could tell u he look like this

Some growling snarling beast

But, truthfully he looked more like this

& I think he was chasing me cause he wanted to play

HA HA HA

For a minute there I felt a bit like Hillary Clinton!!!

HA HA HA

yes, a few of us know who he is ;)   :)

I cannot believe I bought these 1 year ago.

.....& never touched them

today I'm up early

& feeling motivated

to do many things!

Including these DVDs

& I think I might get to the gym before all other people

& I think I might get on my bike before all the cars are on the streets

TODAY WILL BE A GOOD DAY!

I believe this

because life is about choice

I believe we can choose to be happy

the sun is not up yet ... & that is the best time to begin!!!

So....off I go!!!!!!

my husband is running late

for now - & when I get back online

I just want a little break from these topics:

Religion / Politics / Hate in any form / & Drama of any kind

My priority now is health

I spent about a year working in an office

& like many work places today in America

they under hire

under pay

& remaining employees work 9 to 11 hour days plus weekends

I felt like I was becoming ill sitting at that desk so very much

I'm trying to get back where I was before

because the body & mind are related more than most people realize

i just log on here for fun

so i hope while I'm gone

u guys stay out of trouble

& don't go looking for trouble

& PLAY NICE together !!!

& I'll catch up with everyone when I return.

Meanwhile....check out that Ishtar video - it is pretty cool

Originally I promised myself not to discuss anything even slightly related to the Israel/Palestine conflict.

& I kept that promise.

I didn't discuss it here.....or anywhere else.

I'm just back from riding my bike.

& after having some time alone with my thoughts while I rode.

I decided my original promise wasn't good enough.

I'm not going to discuss religion AT ALL.

not here

not anywhere

I'm not going to discuss politics AT ALL

not here

not anywhere

& if that gets me deleted then C'est la vie (such is life)

well, that is the SECOND time that has happened to me

I see a page which mentions Islam

& I make some small comment (nothing bad)

a few other people comment (nothing bad)

then a whole bunch of people jump on that page & say the most ugly things you can image

not wanting my 'little green alien' associated with a hate filled page

I end up going back & deleting my comment

just so my logo won't be on such a page

because I can't stand the sight of my happy little green alien

 sitting in the middle of hate

how very sad that there are so many filled with so much hate

the mind has great effect on the body 

hate can make you physically ill 

hate can age you before your time 

hate is bad! 

stop the hate!

I just deleted two people

this time I don't feel bad about it

because I waited a long time to do it

I sat back & read & read what they had to say

both were doing the same thing

using space here on Multiply

to alternate between interesting - current event type blogs

& every other time a clear anti Muslim agenda.

I don't like hate

In any form

Not against Christians, or Muslims, or Jews, or any group

Because as I said before it reminds me of Hitler  

Let everyone believe what they wish

Let everyone write what they wish

If people wanna write HATE BLOGS

they are free to do that

But I am also free not to have that garbage in my IN BOX.

Vasily Aleksanyan, the former Yukos executive suffering from AIDS-related cancer and tuberculosis, has been moved from jail to a specialized clinic, his lawyer and a prison spokesman said.

Aleksanyan's transfer -- made Friday after previous refusals to hospitalize the Harvard-educated lawyer -- represents a rare victory for defendants in cases against Yukos and its jailed founder, Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

For reasons unknown, star V838 Mon's outer surface suddenly greatly expanded January 2002. Then, just as suddenly, it faded.

A stellar flash like this has never been seen before - what is seen is actually an outwardly moving light echo of the bright flash.

In a light echo, light from the flash is reflected by successively more distant rings in the complex array of ambient interstellar dust that already surrounded the star.

My friend's multiply blog page

Here he has posted a quiz of the flags of the world, 100 of them

Some are not actually countries :)

It does take a minute to load - I had time to get a coffee

But it was fun quiz, & also I like to read the responses

I honestly only definitely know 25 of them

there were 8 or 10 more I could have taken a guess at & gotten correct

but really, being honest, I could only be sure of 25

What About You? 

How Many Do You Know?

Which One Is Your Favorite? 

The place you are now?  Or the place you wanna be?  Or the land that you love the most?

I'm still finishing up things at my job before they close.  They've given us one more week to get everything done. 

I was thinking of where I might work next after we move.

I'm not particular.

I just hope it doesn't involve:  (1) a hair net (2) a name tag (3) or a stupid hat.

I really like this.  I think my friend here says it better than I did in my blog a few days ago.
