Halloween - but seriously don't be hating

I really like this quote:

We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them. - Charles Caleb Colton

Happy Halloween

Physics

Its a fascinating subject to me.  To my chagrin I must admit it does guide all other sciences.  I still standby my subject of microbiology.  Anyway, take a look at this picture I found on the net.  It was originally in black and white, but someone colorized it.  I want to try to find its original post to find out more, but enjoy the picture for now.

Update on Shankar Tucker's work.  I love this girls voice take a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-y_C0vsCr4&feature=g-u-u.  Wish this talent would get recognized more often.

Paper

Hi I have been completely out of it for the past few months.  Finally back into the roll of things.  Here is another group of pictures from the scavenger hunt.  Still have a few more left.  Enjoy!

Cupcakes!

This is why I love my friends.

Extremely disgusted!

I am surprised at what I am seeing these days in the comment section of new articles.  I am very ashamed to be a part of the human race right now.  I cannot believe someone would write something like this.  I rarely make any statements toward any political or hot topic issues, but I am very much afraid to see this written even today.  I hope you are shocked too.

Microbiology corner

Interesting article about new bacteria found in a cave.  There is so much to learn about the microbiological world.  It's so cool!

Its McSteamy in Saved by the Bell!

Hillary Clinton is amazing part 2

Music is a wonderful healer

Jan Pehchan Ho - Heineken Commercial The Date

A great old hindi song in an American commerical.  Here is the real song:

First in a series of 37 posts yet to come.  My friends Ana, Ashley and I did a scavenger hunt and it was fun!  Enjoy the pictures.

The sun under cover

Holly mother of snakes!

This needs to be read and watched by all!

Space! The final frontier!

I have so many interests and here is yet another interest.  Space!  There is still so much to learn.

"The Internet can do everything"

This is a very good story about friendship.  A dying man's wishes are fullfilled by his friend.  Read their story!  It is always nice seeing an author or any type of artist open up to their fans and be receptive to a conversation with them about how they feel about their piece of work(s).

My top 5 favorite movies (which ended up being all 90's movies for some reason)

Y'all are going to hate me for this list, but its in no particular order and one is a bit girly.

1. Independence Day

This movie has a lot of action and a lot of good actors.  I especially love Will Smith, Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum.

2. Twister

Another good action movie.  I fear tornadoes, and thats what makes this movie amazing.  It scares me, but keeps me interested. Good actors: Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.

3. Schindler's List

This one is just sad, but the story telling and choreography is amazing.  Good on Steven Spielberg.  Good actors: Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes (aka Voldemort), and Ben Kingsley.

4. When Harry Meet Sally

Just a good romantic comedy.  This was Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in the height of their careers.  Amazing!

5. Princess Bride

Rob Reiner has made the list twice as a director, but this movie is also very very good.  It might even be my number one movie.  I am really not sure.  Cary Elwes is amazing as always (come to think of it he also made the list twice because he is in Twister too).  This movie also has the awesome Andre the Giant.

Other movies I love: Jurrasic Park (the first one), Monty Python and the Holly Grail, History of the World Part 1, Mogambo, To Catch a Thief, Charades, Arsenic and Old Lace, Spaceballs, Star Wars IV, Star Wars V, Star Wars VI, Star Trek (2009), Notorious (1946), Tora Tora Tora, Hunt for Red October, Sean Connery James Bond movies, Daniel Craig James Bond movies, His Girl Friday, Pillow Talk, Calamity Jane, Meet Me in St. Louis, Shop Around the Corner, Guys and Dolls, Summer Stock, Singin' in the Rain, Dial M for Murder, other Hitchcock golds, Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight, Lord of the Rings Triology, Fight Club, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Usual Suspects (this should be on the list of top five), Leon: the Professional, Alien Triology, Spirited Away, Amelie, Wall-E, Back to the Future Triology, Inglourious Basterds, anything by Disney and Pixar, Die Hard, The Great Escape, Dirty Harry, Cool Hand Luke, The Sixth Sense, Kill Bill v. 1 and V. 2, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Ben-Hur, Ten Commandments, Gandhi, Harry Potter movies, and probably more that I have seen that I can't remember or haven't seen and is still on my list of movies to see.

Plans for the future: to make a top 100 list.  Dan Spencer are you in?

Shankar Tucker

I love talent and this kid is very talented.  Shankar Tucker is an American who was named Shankar because of a hindu guru that his parents follow.  He was tricked into playing the clarinet by his grandfather and soon came to love it.  He went to India and adopted his clarinet to Hindustani music under a flute master named Hariprasad Chaurasia in Mumbai.  Now he is slowly gaining fame with his youtube channel The Shrutibox.  The music here is amazing and when I first came across it I listened to "O re Piya" and couldn't figure out who Shankar Tucker was, but when i saw the subsequent videos I figured out it was the clarinetist and I had to look him up.  He plays with such feeling.  I love it!  You can tell he loves it and I end up loving it because of all the passion that was put into each adaptation or original songs.

I will definitely be paying attention to him from now on.
