Thursday’s Heroes – BYU Football’s Weekly Service to the Disadvantaged
In 2007 the BYU Football team started a new tradition. Every Thursday they bring someone who has been going through some hard times in to honor them at their practice. There have been many, many touching and inspirational moments. Here is one of them:
What Place Do ‘Czars’ Have In Free America?
“The long list of Obama’s czars, accountable to no one except Obama himself, is one of his most worrisome and expensive notions. The czars may be substitutes for the nearly half of the administration’s executive-branch positions that remain unfilled.”
“The czars’ salaries are paid by the U.S. taxpayers, but they are not confirmed by the Senate and they appear to have the authority to override those who are confirmed. Lack of Senate confirmation means we must rely on Glenn Beck to discover that the green jobs czar, Van Jones, is or was a communist and a self-described “rowdy black nationalist.”
“Obama has appointed 34 czars. Just listing them is enough to scare anyone who believes in constitutional and representative government:
Afghanistan czar, AIDS czar, border czar, car czar, climate czar, copyright czar, cyberspace czar, drug czar, economic czar, education czar, energy czar, executive pay czar, faith-based czar, Great Lakes czar, green jobs czar, Guantanamo closure czar, health reform czar, infotech czar, intelligence czar, Iran czar, Middle East peace czar, non-proliferation czar, Persian Gulf/Southeast Asia czar, regulatory czar, science czar, stimulus accountability czar, Sudan czar, TARP czar, terrorism czar, urban czar, war czar and WMD and terrorism czar.”

International Space Station – Construction History
Here’s an interesting, nice graphic showing the history of the International Space Station and how it has grown/evolved over the years.
To Those of Us Born 1930 – 1979
ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.
Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren’t overweight. WHY? Because we were always outside playing…that’s why!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were OKAY.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.. After running into the bushes a few times, w e learned to solve the problem
We did not have Play stations, Nintendo’s and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD’s, no surround-sound or CD’s, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We would get spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping pong paddles, or just a barehand and no one would call child services to report abuse.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are one of them, CONGRATULATIONS!
Kids Perspective of Getting a New Sibling
Funny video from Pampers UK Link
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field in 3D
Fascinating video about an experiment they did with the Hubble telescope. They pointed the telescope in to a dark, empty part of space about the size of a small grain 0f sand and then left the lens open for 10+ days. This video shows and talks about what they found. In that incredibly small window they found tens of thousands of galaxies each of which contains hundreds of billions of stars. It really gives a glimpse of a perspective of how big and infinite the universe is.
Perspective of Obamacare from Medicaid/Medicare Doctor
Interesting perspective from a doctor who deals with many Medicare/Medicaid patients. Quite sobering to hear his perspective.
