Daily Horoscope

Morning peeps,

Though you may have been feeling less than yourself for the past few days, today it may seem as if you're finally getting your energy back. For the first time in a while you may feel like going for a run, a bike, or a workout.

Take advantage of it! The more you exercise, the more energy you have, so this could be the beginning of a whole new cycle of physical development.


Until da next Tyme !

Daily Horoscope

Good morning all!

You are by nature a conscientious person, and likely to strive for perfection in just about any sort of work you may do. Today, however, you could go overboard.
A project that may be very important could have you rather intimidated, and so you might be trying a bit too hard. Do the best you can, and if you're still not sure about it, ask someone else feedback.
Too much attention to detail might be counterproductive. Try to make some time for relaxation this evening.

Until da next Tyme !

Hello peeps

Try not to get too bogged down in the details today. You will find that if you keep trying to perfect every single aspect of the package before you send it out, you will take too much time and end up missing the mailman.

The package won't even get sent out at all. Keep things moving in a quick and light-hearted fashion. Have fun with the people around you and don't worry so much about insignificant matters.

Until da next Tyme !

Daily Virgo Horoscope

Hello peeps


Be a bit more disciplined with your emotions today, and try to not too fly off the handle if situations get too intense. It could be that people are withholding things from you today and you might feel a sense of restriction weighing upon you.

Use this to your advantage and consider taking a more conservative approach in your actions. It might feel as if you are driving with the emergency break on so don't hit the gas too hard or you may do some damage to your engine.

Have a great day!

Hey fellow Virgoans,

You might have a hard time focusing yourself today. It could be that you need to take a time-out. Put your projects down and step back from them for a while. It is important for you to see the overall view of the situation. It could be that you have focused on the details for so long that you have missed an important part of the message that is only seen by looking at the big picture.

Have a great day!

Phenomenal Wonders of the Natural World

Hey peeps ,

A friend sent me this awesome article that I wanted to share with you all ... its truly amazing !!!

Sailing Stones




The mysterious moving stones of the packed-mud desert of Death Valley have been a center of scientific controversy for decades.

Rocks weighing up to hundreds of pounds have been known to move up to hundreds of yards at a time.
Some scientists have proposed that a combination of strong winds and surface ice account for these movements.
However, this theory does not explain evidence of different rocks starting side by side and moving at different rates and in disparate directions.
Moreover, the physics calculations do not fully support this theory as wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour would be needed to move some of the stone.


Columnar Basalt





When a thick lava flow cools, it contracts vertically but cracks perpendicular to its directional flow with remarkable geometric regularity- in most cases forming a regular grid of remarkable hexagonal extrusions that almost appear to be made by man.

One of the most famous such examples is the Giant's Causeway on the coast of Ireland (shown above),though the largest and most widely recognized would be Devil's Tower in Wyoming .
Basalt also forms different but equally fascinating ways when eruptions are exposed to air or water.



Blue Holes




Blue holes are giant and sudden drops in underwater elevation that get their name from the dark and foreboding blue tone they exhibit when viewed from above in relationship to surrounding waters.
They can be hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them they are largely devoid of oxygen that would support sea life due to poor water circulation - leaving them eerily empty.
Some blue holes, however, contain ancient fossil remains that have been discovered, preserved in their depths.



Red Tides





Red tides are also known as algal blooms - sudden influxes of massive amounts of colored single-cell algae that can convert entire areas of an ocean or beach into a blood red color.
While some of these can be relatively harmless, others can be harbingers of deadly toxins that cause the deaths of fish, birds and marine mammals.
In some cases, even humans have been harmed by red tides though no human exposure are known to have been fatal.
While they can be fatal, the constituent phytoplankton in ride tides are not harmful in small numbers.




Ice Circles

While many see these apparently perfect ice circles as worthy of conspiracy theorizing, scientists generally accept that they are formed by eddies in the water that spin a sizable piece of ice in a circular motion.
As a result of this rotation, other pieces of ice and flotsam wear relatively evenly at the edges of the iceuntil it slowly forms into an essentially ideal circle.
Ice circles have been seen with diameters of over 500 feet and can also at times be found in clusters and groups of different sizes as shown above.


Mammatus Clouds


True to their ominous appearance, mammatus clouds are often harbingers of a coming storm or other extreme weather system.
Typically composed primarily of ice, they can extend for hundreds of miles in each direction and individual formations can remain visibly static for ten to fifteen minutes at a time.
While they may appear foreboding they are merely the messengers- appearing around, before or even after severe weather.



Fire Rainbows




A circumhorizontal fire rainbow arc occurs at a rare confluence of right time and right place for the sun and certain clouds.
Crystals within the clouds refract light into the various visible waves of the spectrum but only if they are arrayed correctly relative to the ground below.
Due to the rarity with which all of these events happen in conjunction with one another, there are relatively few remarkable photos of this phenomenon.




Sinkholes

Sinkholes are one of the world's scariest natural phenomena.
Over time, water erodes the soil under the planet's surface until in some cases, quite suddenly,the land above gives way and collapses into the earth.
Many sinkholes occur naturally while others are the result of human intervention.
Displacing groundwater can open cavities while broken pipes can erode otherwise stable subterranean sediments.
Urban sinkholes, up to hundreds of feet deep have formed and consumed parts of city blocks, sidewalks and even entire buildings.


Penitentes





Named after peak-hooded New Mexican monks (lower right above), penitentes are dazzling naturally-forming ice blades that stick up at sharp angles toward the sun.
Rarely found except at high altitudes, they can grow up taller than a human and form in vast fields.
As ice melts in particular patterns, 'valleys' formed by initial melts leave 'mountains' in their wake.
Strangely, these formations ultimately slow the melting process as the peaks cast shadows on the deeper surfaces below and allow for winds to blow over the peaks, cooling them.



Lenticular Clouds


Ever wonder the truth about UFOs?
Avoided by traditional pilots but loved by sailplane aviators, lenticular clouds are masses of cloud with strong internal uplift that can drive a motorless flyer to high elevations.
Their shape is quite often mistaken for a mysterious flying object or the artificial cover for one.
Generally, lenticular clouds are formed as wind speeds up while moving around a large land object such as a mountain.



Light Pillars

Light pillars appear as eerily upright luminous columns in the sky, beacons cast into the air above without an apparent source.
These are visible when light reflects just right off of ice crystals from either the sun (as in the two top images above) or from artificial ground sources such as street or park lights.
Despite their appearance as near-solid columns of light, the effect is entirely created by our own relative viewpoint.



Sundogs




Like light pillars, sundogs are the product of light passing through crystals.
The particular shape and orientation of the crystals can have a drastic visual impact for the viewer, producing a longer tail and changing the range of colors one sees.
The relative height of the sun in the sky shifts the distance the sundogs appear to be on either side of the sun.
Varying climactic conditions on other planets in our solar system produce halos with up to four sundogs from those planets' perspectives.
Sundogs have been speculated about and discussed since ancient times and written records describing the various attributes of our sun date back the Egyptians and Greeks.




Fire Whirls
Fire whirls (also known as fire devils or tornadoes)appear in or around raging fires when the right combination of climactic conditions is present.
Fire whirls can be spawned by other natural events such as earthquakes and thunderstorms, and can be incredibly dangerous, in some cases spinning well out of the zone of a fire itself to cause devastation and death in a radius not even reached by heat or flame.
Fire whirls have been known to be nearly a mile high, have wind speeds of over 100 miles per hour and to last for 20 or more minutes.






Orange Moons



This last phenomenon is something most people have seen before- beautiful orange moon hanging low in the sky.
But what causes this phenomenon- and, for that matter, does the moon have a color at all?
When the moon appears lower on the horizon,rays of light bouncing off it have to pass through a great deal more of our atmosphere which slowly strips away everything but yellows, oranges and reds.
The bottommost image above is true to the hues of the moon but has enhanced colors to more clearly show the differences in shade that illustrate the mixed topography and mineralogy that tell the story of the moon's surface.


Looking at the colors in combination with the craters one can start to trace the history of impactsand consequent material movements across the face of our mysterious moon.

New Era!

Hey Peeps,

Well its official the UK has its first coalition Government in 65 years, and the Tories back in number 10 after 13 years!

I am personally glad that this has happened, as I feel like the US the UK needs a change, our previous generations made moves and channelled the way we live currently and in many ways they set the standards.

We have a newer generation now and we need to think of the legacy we will be leaving for our future generations, as they will want to make changes!

Will Clegg and Cameron gel, no one knows, but for the cointry sake I hope they give it a good try!

Human nature is that people will expect miracles overnight and we need to be realistic, it will take time!

Let's embrace it for what it is today, a new day!

Ipad hits the UK

hey there all,

The IPAD is coming.... yes Apple is now taking pre orders on the latest gadget that has bowled over the US which will be in the UK on May 28th

Now I am a gadget freak like most and I always want the latest and trendiest, however I am hesitant so far for a few reasons
  • Its a touch screen and as sexy as that is for most , I dont do well with touch screen
  • The price is ridiculous starting at £429
Now I know that Apple is on a world domination trip, but seriouosly its cheaper to get a netbook.

Coupled with that you can have a choice of 16GB, 32GB or 64Gb needless to say the higher the GB the more the price will inflate...... but they went one step further, you have a choice of WIFI only or WIFI and 3G connection.

That is just taking te P**s

I will wait until the exceitement dies down before investing

State of the UK

hello peeps,


For those that follow me on twitter I have been very vocal with my thoughts on the run up to the Election and what it means for the UK.


Unfortunately now that we have had the election we are no better off than we were, as now we have no Prime Minister as the people of Britain has decided unanimously that they don't trust no one party to run the UK.


They are looking for change but don't have faith in one party to do the job?


So what does that mean for the UK?


Well it seems that the one man that may be the king maker in all this is the Liberal Democratic Leader Nick Clegg.... the one guy that made this election a 3 party race.


Currently I am not sure which way he is veering towards as he seems to be talking to both parties for some sort of coalition, so only time will tell what is in store for the UK.


Whatever that is, I can see that Britain is on a downward spiral which will either make or break it as a country

Media break

Hey peeps!

So I decided to take myself off the grid this weekend and have a media break!

Yes no phone, no twitter, no laptop, nothing, just me and my thoughts!

For those who have never tried it before and think how can I survive without tweeting or surfing the net.... Just think about how you coped before technology made our life easier.... You still survived, this is no different - I recommend we all do it at least once every 2months :) its a blast!
