This was taken from a NASA Blog..It is really cool….
What do NASA techies do with their spare time? They make rock-n-roll videos. Not the big-hair, booty-shaking, smoke-and-fire kind. They help make rock videos that would make their daytime colleagues proud or jealous, or both.
Click Here===> This Too Shall Pass – OK Go – Rube Goldberg Machine <==== to Watch On YouTube….
The rock band OK Go prides itself on creative visual expressions of their music, and they wanted an extra dose of gee-whiz fun for their song “This Too Shall Pass.” In early 2010, the group enlisted the help of Syyn Labs — a self-described “group of creative engineers who twist together art and technology.” The Syyn Labs fraternity included (or ensnared) four staff members from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
OK Go requested a Rube Goldberg machine as the centerpiece of a video. To borrow from wikipedia, a “Rube Goldberg machine is a deliberately over-engineered machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction. The name is drawn from American cartoonist and inventor Rube Goldberg.” Think of the classic board game Mousetrap or your favorite chain reactions from Tom & Jerry cartoons.
More than 40 engineers, techies, artists, and circus types spent several months designing, building, rebuilding, and re-setting a machine that took up two floors of a Los Angeles warehouse. The volunteers went to work after work, giving up many nights, weekends, and even some vacation days to build a machine that has drawn more than 13 million views on YouTube.

This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point last week.
A scene you will probably never get to see in person, so take a moment and enjoy
God at work at the North Pole. And, you also see the sun below the moon,
an amazing photo and not one easily duplicated. You may want to pass it on to
others so they can enjoy it. The Chinese have a saying that goes something like this:
‘When someone shares with you something of value, you have an obligation to share
it with others!’ I just did.. Your turn
Hello There…. NES2 was last weekend and I had a great time there. They had an outrageous lineup of industry leaders sharing what is working for them. I am going to try and share what i got out of each speaker. I took some pretty good notes so will try to convey their message.

First up was Ray Higdon. Ray is a leader in his primary business and he likes to promote online and offline. He has been in the people business for quite some time as he was in the Real Estate business. Real Estate Agents make great network marketers because the already posses most of the skills needed to succeed in this business. They for the most part have excellent communication skills and they have learned that they only get paid on their efforts. They have been independent businessmen working for commissions…so there isn’t a need to teach or develop those skills.
Ray shared some of his insights about the business. He pointed out that no one is looking to join some opportunity….they want to change their life.
What Ray likes to do is basically interview people to see if they are a fit for his team and his time. He will do no begging to get someone to join. He likes to throw it out there and find out if who he is talking to is open to a side project that won’t necessarily interfere with what they are currently doing. He says that “It may or may not be for you” but I might have a solution to your life situation. He looks to find out what has (or hasn’t) changed in their lives that has them open or looking for a home based business.
Ray shared numerous traffic strategies….one that I thought was great was one of the old bandit signs…..

No Excuses Summit 2,

I have copied this article and take no credit for it. I hope that you read it and then share it with those that you love. Learn to do things differently. Be a Maker and not a taker. Become your own boss, create wealth for yourself, gain time and financial freedom, start your own business, and help get America Back. We were at one time a community of the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick maker. We were a self sufficient Country….now we rely on other nations for our goods.
We’ve Become a Nation of Takers, Not Makers
More Americans work for the government than in manufacturing, farming, fishing, forestry, mining and utilities combined.
If you want to understand better why so many states—from New York to Wisconsin to California—are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, consider this depressing statistic: Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government. Continue Reading
