Bomber Stopped by Heroes on Flight 253

I think it's important to note that in light of the security breach and the negative coverage of this event... something awesome happened!
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to bomb Northwest Airlines Flight 253, but thanks to the passengers' quick thinking many lives were saved. This is the link to the information concerning the heroic act of ordinary citizens:

Berlin Wall- Twenty Years Ago

I can't believe that twenty years ago TODAY I sat in front of the television and watched as the Berlin Wall came down in pieces. I remember seeing the people so excited and also the tears of joy. Unfortunately, at the time I did not realize the significance of this day. I was excited because everyone else was excited, but I did not know that this would be the end of the Cold War as we knew it. FOX news has a wonderful slide show and article on this momentous occasion. Enjoy!

A New Kind of Robot

FOX News reported a really neat new kind of robot unveiled by Pentagon Researchers. It looks like something out of a science fiction movie. It's half solid and half liquid. It has the ability to change not only its shape, but also has the ability to change it's consistency. It does this by a process called "jamming". "Jamming is simply introducing air into a membrane that's filled with particulate matter— BBs, if you will. The plan is that this robot would go where other robots can't go, because it can change from a solid to a liquid-like state." They are hoping that this will one day save lives out in the battlefield.

I hope you all were able to catch the footage on television of the lunar blast. The blast wasn't as impressive as expected, but they are optimistic that they will prove there is water. They will take samples and analyze them. This is definitely exciting news!!

Good News About the Swine Flu

It looks like the worst is over... according to FOX News Report last night. (Oct. 8, 2009) This strain of flu was actually a milder one compared to the seasonal influenza that makes its way each year. Although the vaccine is limited at the moment, they expect few people will actually get it. Good news is that there will be plenty for those who want it anyway.

Feel Good Movie

I haven't had time to do my research for this blog lately, and so I decided to post my pick of movie for the day. I haven't had a chance to see FAME, but last weekend I had the opportunity to see Tyler Perry's movie entitled, I Can Do Bad All By Myself. I have to admit that this was my first Tyler Perry movie I have ever seen and so I was skeptical at first. However, it turned out to be such a great movie!! I am thankful that there are producers out there who can still make good wholesome quality movies with good messages. I loved the musical numbers and actually got teary-eyed many times throughout the movie.
