Text To Space!!!

A Photo of Gliese 581d.......


CANBERRA (Reuters Life!) - An Australian website is giving texting an intergalactic touch and allowing users to send short mobile phone-type messages into space.

From Wednesday and until August 24, people hankering for an out-of-this-world experience can visit www.HelloFromEarth.net to post messages no longer than 160 characters that will be transmitted to Gliese 581d, the nearest Earth-like planet outside the solar system likely to support life.

Expected delivery time, however, is some 20 years, the website said. And there's no guarantee of a response.

"It's like a 'message in a bottle' cast out into the stars. What's interesting is not just whether there's anyone listening, but what the public will say to intelligent life on another planet," said project spokesperson Wilson da Silva.

"Hello From Earth is our way of showing that science can make the impossible possible. We have been to the moon and now, we can speak to the stars," he said in a statement.

The messages, to be transmitted from the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, with the close cooperation of U.S. space agency NASA, is part of Australia's National Science Week which celebrates the country's scientific achievements and creates awareness of the importance of science.

Science Minister Kim Carr entered the first message to launch the project.

"Hello from Australia on the planet we call Earth. These messages express our people's dreams for the future. We want to share those dreams with you," his message said.

"As a child I, like many Australians, stared up at the stars and wondered what was out there. Now science has allowed me to send a personal message that may answer that question," Carr said.

Dunno why..... Dried my hair, then swore a little because I forgot my travel mug here at the station, had a to bring a mug with coffee, thank God that perked when it was supposed to! called my boss, YIKES IM LATE or something like that, tried to open the door....forgot it was locked....unlocked the door carried my coffee mug, and lunch...I think I forgot a fork and left over spaghetti is hard to eat with your hands.....anyway, jumped into the truck.... oh yeah construction on Caldwell road, while stopped at a light called the Morning BOUNCE yammered about being late! Ended up behind three transpot trucks and a cement truck, plus a woman who made it her personal mission to be a nice driver and let EVERYONE go in front of her, normally Im the nice "letting people go in front of me" person but today I was in a HURRY!!!! get to the bridge, my macpass is low so Im back to using quarters....two of my three quarters didn't work, and of course I didn't have any other quarters......tick tick tick goes the clock......finally time to get into Robie St exit, Mr White van matches my speed Im trying to go where he is, he's trying to get where I am, finally he slows down I JUST make it onto the Robie Street exit, suprisingly NO TRAFFIC when I turned onto Russel Street!!

Two of my Fav things going on here. The use of "Macro" and Chucks. I Love Love Love Love both!

50 Sexiest Songs of All Time According to inmusic.ca

Here are the top 15. Do you Agree??? I don't I think even in the list of 50 they missed MAJOR sexy tracks.....Like D'angelo - Untitled....don't act like you dont remember that video......

D'Angelo - Untitled (How Does It Feel)
Uploaded by mutsu_onikage. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.

15. 'Turn Off the Lights,' Teddy Pendergrass (1979): ''Would you rub me down in some, in some burnin' hot oils, baby, yeah.''
This is like an instruction manual for seventies lovin' – a candle, a shower, burnin' hot oils…some sweet soul.

14. 'Cream,' Prince (1991):''Cream, get on top. Cream, you will cop. Cream, don't you stop. Cream, sh-boogie bop''
OK, there is a bit of Prince on this list but what can we say? The little guy knows sexy.

13. 'Time of the Season,' the Zombies (1968): ''What's your name? Who's your daddy? Is he rich like me?''
The bassline, the background breathing, the smooth vocals, this is one smokin' classic.

12. 'I'm Gonna Crawl,' Led Zeppelin (1979): ''I don't care just where my darling is. People I just don't care how far. I'm gonna crawl''
It's so amazing he's gonna crawl to get it. Plus there's the slow, heavy blues guitar. Oh man, so hot you could fry an egg on it.

11. Pour Some Sugar on Me, Def Leppard (1987): ''Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp. Demolition woman, can I be your man?''
This ode to the sweet stuff is a strip club classic and the soundtrack to a lot of late eighties high school dance floor moments leading up to the 'Stairway to Heaven' grope sessions.

10. 'Is This Love,' Whitesnake (1987): ''I've been this way before but, with you I've found the key to open any door''
We bet many a child of the late 80s was conceived to this ultimate power ballad. The video is also delicious in a glorious, hair rock kind of way.

9. 'Poison,' Alice Cooper (1989): ''I want to kiss you but I want it too much. I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison''
She's deadly but so hot he's considering taking the risk. That's pretty hot. (There's talk that it's actually about booze but lalalalala! – covering ears - We can't heeeeeear you!)

8. 'Secret,' Maroon 5 (2002): ''I know I don't know you. But I want you so bad''
A slow, urban groove, heavy on the innuendo. We're not even sure what it's about but it's a great make-out track.

7. 'I'm On Fire,' Bruce Springsteen (1985): ''Hey little girl is your daddy home? Did he go away and leave you all alone? I got a bad desire''
A quiet, almost whispered song about serious and, either inappropriate or forbidden WANT.

6. 'Love to Love You Baby,' Donna Summer (1975): ''Do it to me again and again. You put me in such an awful spin''
You know those orgasm-y noises Donna is making on this track? The story is that she had to lie on the floor in the dark, to relax, in order to make them

5. 'Darling Nikki,' Prince (1985): ''She had so many devices, everything that money could buy. She said sign your name on the dotted line. The lights went out…''
It was the one-night stand heard around the world. Even the purple one didn't know what hit him.

4. 'Let's Stay Together,' Al Green (1971): ''Oooo oooo ooo ooo, yeah, whether times are good or bad, happy or sad''
Never has a long term relationship sounded so enticing. Staying together! Never being untrue! Oh, yes! God yes!

3. 'Sexual Healing,' Marvin Gaye (1982): ''You're my medicine open up and let me in. Darling, you're so great, I can't wait for you to operate''
All you need in your First-Aid kit. It's good for what ails you. Can we get that in an injection?

2. 'Whole Lotta Love,' Led Zeppelin (1969): ''Way, way down inside, honey, you need it''
Robert Plant is gonna give you every inch of his love. Excuse me? Is that a threat???

1. 'Let's Get it On,' Marvin Gaye (1973): ''Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be? I'm asking you baby to get it on with me''
The ultimate homage to the horizontal mambo – not too dirty, not too clean, the perfect plea to get it on. Yes. Let's!

hello everybody, have a very good week-end

You know there are dog breeds that have bad reputations, but you can't generalize, don't hate a breed because you hear how bad they are. It's like saying all men or women are jerks because of a bad experience. Look at these two buddies....look at that face!! maaawww I'd like to meet them, they look absolutly sweet!
