    A Chameleon Sky

     
    The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.

Give Up Your RightsThis sums it up for me. I have been hearing about internment camps in the U.S. I guess that there are plans in place to suspend the constitution and round up people. I also have been hearing about entrance and exit visas. Wow is it that close? Have I been sleeping that long? I saw Bill Maher the other night. He had Richard Dreyfuss on. Mr. Dreyfuss made the statement that if you don’t stand against torture, warrant less wiretaps, suspension of habeas corpus, then you stand for them.

The Two Wolves

Posted by Skip Stone on November 16th, 2006

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible battle between two wolves. One is evil; he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

“The other is good; he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you; and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

My question to you is….. Which wolf do you feed?
