April 5th, 1999

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download   the highest resolution version available. NASA launches powerful rockets. One such rocket, the Delta II, recently lofted the STARDUST mission into the nearby Solar System.STARDUST is expected to photograph Comet Wild in 2004 as it zooms by, and return interstellar dust samples to Earth in 2006. Currently, much remains unknown about the size distribution, primordial composition, and even shapes of these dust grains. Above, a side-mounted camera photographed the separation of the solid rocket boosters above the receding Earth.

This is a good picture for me because i like watching the launches of the rockets. It is amusing to me how far our technology has elapsed over time. I talk to my grandparents and my great grandparents and they tell me how lucky I am. I find it funny because i know i"m very lucky already and i appreciate them looking after me. They make sure i live my life to the fullest. That is why i love this picture to represent my birthday.

TAR HEELS

Last night was a great night. The North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team went in to Cameron Indoor Stadium to meet the Duke Blue Devils. It is rivalry week and they are arguably the best rival in Collegiante sports. They lived up to this as the up and down game went to UNC's favor as they killed the blue devils in the final three minutes to go. They were winning at the beginning but gave the lead up to end the first half. Reestablished the lead with three minutes and ten seconds to go and just poured it on for about twenty more points. Go tar heels!!!!

MEDIAS just doing their job

I think the media has not gone too far. Reporting the stories of athletes is what gets them paid. They would report a heart-warming story if Michael Phelps saved ten people from a burning fire.Or Alex Rodriguez jumped in front of a car to save a little cat.  So they have to report these stories too. It wouldn't be fair to make the fans of these highly praised athletes hanging out to dry. The media is not going too far i think they should even go farther sometimes. They have done an exceptional job o n these two stories and i applaud them.

Duke is horrible

Last night February 4th, 2009 was a proud night for the Clemson Tigers. They dismantled the number three ranked Duke Blue Devils. They beat them up and down the court scoring every way possible. They were throwing alley-oops, long three pointers, short jump shots, and some of the months best dunks so far. I am a North Carolina Tar Heels fan so pretty much whenever duke plays im going for the other team to win.  This was the worst loss for Coach K since they got absolutely destroyed by UNLV in the nationally Championship some years ago. HOW EMBARASSING? Go Heels. 

Forclosure

 Its called a foreclosure when the mortgage lender has to reclaim your house if you cant pay for it. foreclosures is a legal proceeding that occurs when a homeowner (mortgagor) fails to make the agreed upon mortgage payments and the holder of said mortgage (mortgagee), typically a bank, evicts the homeowner, seizes that property and sells it to another individual. The way i look at it is being an indian giver. Taking back something that they have given to somebody already. The current problem has been effecting some of my friend's moms. Such as, State Champion, Vince Cicciarelli, and current baseball player Billy King.
