This lyric is for Jerry Falwell who died today, May 15, 2007 - The world has one less Religious Terrorist. Click here to see the real Jerry Falwell.

This is a song by Rush. The boy's have released a new album called Snakes & Arrows. I probably could have picked several songs from this album to dedicate to JF but decided Witch Hunt is perfect. I'm seeing Rush in September, for the first time in 20+ years and they are playing this song. This will be the longest summer of my life!



Witch Hunt

The night is black
Without a moon
The air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torch lit hill

Features distorted in the flickering light
The faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best

The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill

They say there are strangers who threaten us
In our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theaters and bookstore shelves
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves

Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand...

Neil Peart - Rush

There are several flight tracking websites devoted to providing the average Joe with access to real-time flight information. Some are OK and some are horrible. This site is tops, in my book.

Each red dot represents an airplane in flight. This is real-time information.

From the site...
Founded in March of 2005, FlightAware is the first company to offer free flight tracking services for both private and commercial air traffic in the United States. FlightAware launched public operations in September of 2005 and in November of 2005 became the most popular flight tracking service on the Internet.

FlightAware's proprietary flight arrival time algorithms combined with our powerful, intuitive, responsive, and reliable web-based interface yield the most capable and useful flight tracking application.

Major Discovery: New Planet Could Harbor Water and Life

An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life, scientists announced today.

Liquid water is a key ingredient for life as we know it. The newfound planet is located at the "Goldilocks" distance-not too close and not too far from its star to keep water on its surface from freezing or vaporizing away.

And while astronomers are not yet able to look for signs of biology on the planet, the discovery is a milestone in planet detection and the search for extraterrestrial life, one with the potential to profoundly change our outlook on the universe.

"The goal is to find life on a planet like the Earth around a star like the Sun. This is a step in that direction," said study leader Stephane Udry of the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland. "Each time you go one step forward you are very happy."

The new planet is about 50 percent bigger than Earth and about five times more massive. The new "super-Earth" is called Gliese 581 C, after its star, Gliese 581, a diminutive red dwarf star located 20.5 light-years away that is about one-third as massive as the Sun.

Here is another engineering wonder. A 40 story concrete tower surrounded by 600 mirrors situated to focus the suns energy at the top of the tower. This is the Seville (Spain) Solar Thermal Power Plant.


From the site...

"It is Europe's first commercially operating power station using the Sun's energy this way and at the moment its operator, Solucar, proudly claims that it generates 11 Megawatts (MW) of electricity without emitting a single puff of greenhouse gas.

This current figure is enough to power up to 6,000 homes."


"But ultimately, the entire plant should generate as much power as is used by the 600,000 people of Seville."

"It works by focusing the reflected rays on one location, turning water into steam and then blasting it into turbines to generate power. "
