BLUE GOO

The nuclear industry just got a little safer: a Hawaii company is expecting to play a key role in the toxic clean-up of radioactive waste. A "Blue Goo" polymer called Decongel could help make Japan livable again.


UPDATE:

Injuries or deaths due to nuclear radiation at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant: ZERO

Injuries or deaths at conventional fossil fuels power plants, world wide: MILLIONS


Is it blue or is it green? Maybe it depends on what your definition of "is" is:

WHO IS THIS MAN?

Isn't it peculiar that this man - our President - who came to us a relative unknown three years ago; and now it seems we know even less about him than ever before?


Those of you who follow this web log and have gotten to know a bit about me & my style, know that I rarely if ever post political stuff - the 'net is full of politics; it's done to death elsewhere and besides, it generates Dark Energy within me . . .

Dark Energy

Having said that . . . readers send in all kinds of stuff and every now and then something catches my attention . . . the following two links are remarkable in that they query the true identity and origins of our most mysterious President Barack Hussein Obama:


Who is Barack Obama? – A Terrifying Analysis


On March 15, 2011, the Heritage Foundation sponsored a telecast featuring Dinesh D’Souza, President of King’s College New York and author of the best selling book, Roots of Obama’s Rage. After introducing himself, D’Souza got right into an in-depth analysis of current US President Barack Obama. Obama is the product of an unusual family history, far different from most Americans or people anywhere, for that matter. To say Obama is the product of his parentage and previous environment is a gross understatement.

Now, I'm not a conspiracy nut - conspiracy theories are too easily debunked by the logical thought process; they usually don't stand up to the question path: A) How many people have to be in the know? and B) How do you keep all those people quiet?

. . . but recent comments by Donald Trump have me scratching my head; in an attempt to get to the bottom of the whole birth certificate mess - stay with me here I'm not a birther - The Donald sent a posse of investigators to Hawaii, and he has stated that what they are coming up with is amazing.

Personally, I'm of two minds:

First of all, it doesn't matter if BHO was born in Hawaii, Kenya, or on the Moon; the man was sworn in President of the United States by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court - that makes him President in my book. Following that ceremony, whether or not anyone thinks he's qualified is opinion, nothing more.

And second, if there WAS anything to the rumors floating around out there, the Clinton Attack Machine would have uncovered it during the election.

For what it's worth, Donald Trump seems to echo these themes; what he asks, however, is compelling: "WHAT IS THIS MAN HIDING?"

We'll have to wait for word of Trump's sleuth team's report-out of Hawaii - in the meantime here's another fascinating angle on the origins of Obama:


Another Look at Obama’s Social Security Number

After several years working for others, Daniels got her own license as an investigator in 1995. Since then, she has specialized in litigation support for law firms. Her particular strength has been in researching assets.

By her own admission, Daniels is “good with public records.” She knows her way around databases and has access to many that the public does not.

“I did not like the way things were going,” Daniels says of the country’s drift circa 2009. And so in the best spirit of citizen journalism, she began to investigate Obama on her own.

What she and fellow investigator Neil Sankey unearthed was a nugget that could have ended the career of a George Bush or a Sarah Plain: Barack Obama had been using a social security number issued in Connecticut between 1977 and 1979, a state in which he never lived or even visited at that time in his life.

INSIDE THE WAVES OF HAWAII

These incredible images of waves in the Hawaiian Islands were taken by Clark Little, the number one photographer of surf. He is dedicated to photographing the waves and has published a selection of his best images. He captures magical moments inside the tube as surfers say.

Sand in Surf

This shot captures sand from the ocean's floor being swept up by a monstrous wave and resembles a sandstorm.

Little calls it the Sandmonster.

"There were clouds of sand ten feet high and I'm standing there. I'm holding on to my camera and my trigger as long as I can. Then I have to jump into the cloud of sand to try to get out of danger's way."

His fans pay as much as $4,000 for his gorgeous photos.

Waimea Bay shore-break surfing pioneer Clark Little has gained nationwide recognition for his photography with appearances on Good Morning America, Inside Edition, and many local news stations across the U.S.

It all started in 2007 when Clark's wife wanted a nice piece of art to decorate a wall. Voluntarily, Clark grabbed a camera, jumped in the water, and starting snapping away capturing the beauty and power of monstrous Hawaiian waves from the inside out.

"Clark's View" is a unique view of the ocean that most will only be able to experience safely on land while studying one of Clark's photos.

Now with a camera upgrade and an itch to get that better shot, Clark has taken this on full time and has moved his office from land, to the inside of a barrel.

Clark's images have been run on the Today Show, ABC World News Now, Nature's Best Photography, Paris Match (France), La Vie (France), Hana Hou (Hawaiian Airlines) magazine, Surfer magazine, Surfer's Journal as well as multiple publishers and newspapers in the U.S. and overseas.



Beauty - Water Drops

This shot is his favorite.

With a high shutter speed he caught the brilliant fanned effect of two waves intersecting each other and throwing out this beautiful fan of water.
