Men nu är jag hungrig så ska värma min mat nu!!

JLo falls onstage...then pops up and keeps it moving

Last night,Dick Clark and ABC television hosted the annual American Music Awards, where all kind of crazy and cool happenings went on,and Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert still stood out.

I like it how every year some new act feels the need to shock and push the limits of the public morals to the breaking point, and this year the winner for that category is Adam Lambert.

Adam,the runner-up for last seasons American Idol competition,decided to out do Katy Perry who kissed a girl, or at least had a hit record about it, by kissing a guy on stage.

And, as if that was not enough to get his point across, he then grabbed a male dancer, and had him kiss,…or do something like that, to his crotch. Many guys have done this on stage before,except with women.

I think the best one was that awards show on Spike TV hosted by Jamie Foxx,when he grabbed Halle Berry’s nice behind and laid a good kiss on her…remember that.

Jamee and Halle...very hotJamee hugs Halle...

Halle hugs Jamee,who hugs her back...

I know that was kind of different, but I think many will get my point. I became a bigger Jamie Foxx supporter after that one.

If you missed Adam’s act…we have the pictures here…

He showed up looking like this…

Edgy…or just another way to market his album…who knows.He is from San Diego, so good luck with that Adam…

Anyhow, here is a selection of the beautiful people who were there, and of course my favorites,Rhianna,Alicia Keyes, and all the other cute sexy and talented musical superstars….and oh yes, JLo fell,see image above article,watch video below before it gets deleted,and read the story in the link provided under the video…

…Oh yeah…as usual,like clockwork…Lady Gaga got down!…she is the most interesting performer out there currently, and whenever she performs…I simply can not take my eyes off of her,because of her performances.

She has way more concept than the rest of her fellow performers,and I can tell she is having a big influence on others stage shows. Good going Gaga….

Follow the JLo story here,their video may not be deleted very quickly because they got more pull…

Bara till att sätta igång….
och sen borde jag lägga mig!!!

Måndagens tema på måndagstema var cirkus
Riktigt roligt tema…hihi
så roligt att jag bjuder på 3 bilder
Jag gjorde ett försök att gestalta en clown….

Jag tycker inte längre att det är särskilt lustfyllt att öppna upp mailboxen. Troligen eftersom det sällan dimper ner några roliga mail. Men plötsligt händer det!

Idag fick jag ett som fick mig att dra på smilbanden så mycket att jag gjorde det till en tavla som numera pryder min dörr.

“När hon kom hem berättade hon för sin mamma. Fattaru att dom hade en scen med massa elever som uppträdde i ett mysigt fik åså hade dom en stor TV-skärm där det stod att dom skulle sända Sunes jul varje dag ända fram till jul. Den skolan MÅSTE jag gå på!!!!!”

Hemma från jobb nu….
Åhh vad jag vill vara klar med skolan och jobba heltid!!
har nog aldrig varit så sugen på att jobba som jag är nu!!!

Men nu ska jag fixa lite kaffe…
sååå sugen på det nu!!!

Hur häftigt vore det inte att bo på ishotellet i Jukkasjärvi?

Short for Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA will change the way we view the universe. The 17-ton and 9-foot wide telescope is situated into a Boeing 747 which is going to glide through the stratosphere at 45,000 feet, when the operations begin next year.

The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy's 747SP sits on an aircraft ramp during nighttime testing and operation of the SOFIA's German-built telescope assembly.

SOFIA will be the world’s greatest airborne observatory for the infrared (IR) spectrum. The infrared spectrum is the spectrum that is beyond the visible spectrum that means outside the range we can see with our eyes. It is a different way for astronomers to look at the cosmos, watching the light and the heat radiation coming out of the stars rather that the stars themselves.

The galaxy teems with planetary systems, but astronomers don’t know exactly how they form because ordinary telescopes can’t see through the giant, dense clouds of gas and dust that spawn planets. Using infrared wavelengths, SOFIA can penetrate these hazy regions of space and reveal images of the molecular clouds that come together to construct stars – the birthing process of making worlds. The telescope has actually the potential to help scientists understand how planets form.

As a mobile observatory, SOFIA can fly anywhere, anytime. It can move into position to capture especially interesting astronomical events such as stellar occultations – when the light from a star is blocked by an intervening body, i.e. a planet or an asteroid. Ground-based telescopes usually miss these events because they are fastened to the “wrong” geographic locations on Earth’s surface.

The 3 metre (10 feet) mirror that collects the light from the stars is one of the most impressive parts of the German-built telescope. It is largely composed of carbon fibre reinforced plastic or CFRP, a material commonly found in tennis racquets and modern sailboat hulls. These types of composite materials provide the light weight and stiffness required for precision airborne optical components. The mirror can move from 20 to 60 degrees, so it can rotate up and down and move from one side to the other.

SOFIA will be also able to locate the ‘planetary snowline,’ the region where, as astronomers think, gas giants are born. As the star contracts at constant temperature, the snowline which separates regions of rocky planet formation from regions of icy planet formation moves inward. This process enables rapid formation of icy protoplanets that collide and merge into super-Earths, planets that each has more mass than the Earth.

One of the telescope’s key strengths is its ability to complement other infrared observatories. With a 20-year lifetime, it can do follow-up studies on objects shorter-lived infrared scopes don’t have time to hone in on. If, for example, orbiting observatories like WISE spots something deserving of more attention, SOFIA can move in for a long, slow look, while WISE continues gazing at the rest of the sky. SOFIA can also do follow-up science to reap the full benefits of discoveries from Herschel’s deep spatial surveys when it will run out of its 3-year supply of coolant, and complement James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) investigations, when it will launch in 2014.

As American as Apple Pie

We had a super Thanksgiving dinner at the American College yesterday: 20 plus turkeys, 17 or 18 pumpkin and apple pies, 100s of dinner rolls, nine trays of stuffing, trays of carrot casserole, sweet potato souffle, roasted rosemary potatoes, two different green bean casseroles, gravy and a giant, giant pot of rich-buttery mashed potatoes.

A few of our many Turkeys

Even as I write this list it sounds pretty crazy, a little overwhelming and seems to verge on the disgusting. Sure we had about 150 people to serve but any way you look at this is a lot of food.  I don’t even want to think about how much butter went into these dishes.

One of our many, many pumpkin pies

I also don’t really want to think about how much time went into this event either.  I started cooking stuffing on Friday at about 4:30pm and cooked until 11:30 that night.  Then I got up the next morning and was back at the college by 11am.  I’d finished my stuffing the night before so on Saturday I helped make pumpkin pie and apple pie.  I made two very, very large trays of whipped cream, I sliced apples, I washed dishes and then spent an hour reheating my stuffing.

Rolls Rising

At 4pm the Bulgarians started showing up and by 5:30pm everyone had food.  Lots of it. It was such a nice experience.  Everyone was wishing each other a Happy Thanksgiving (even though at one point after serving probably 75 people I accidently wished someone a Happy New Year…).  To share such an American tradition like Thanksgiving with my Bulgarian colleagues was really heart warming.  It’s a good thing because after you’ve put that many hours into cooking it’s important to feel appreciated.  (Also I think I owe my MoM a big thank-you for all of the years that she’s made a large part of the Thanksgiving dinner by herself.)

Ingen sol idag inte….
tråkigt…
men får se vad dagen har att erbjuda…
en sak vet jag och det är att det är dags för frukost!!!

My dad, when not engaged in shooting fierce muskies, worked on NASA’s Space Program, doing mysterious programming things connected with the Shuttle.  Thanks to The Muskinator, I signed up for the NASA newsletter.  That’s where I learned that ingenious tinkerers have modified a Boeing 747 into a giant flying telescope (SOFIA seeks secrets of planetary birth).  SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) will travel 45,000 feet above the earth, sending back crisp photos of celestial phenomena, unencumbered by the veil of mist that blurs the view of earthbound scopes. 

This is amazing.  If it were April 1 I might think it’s NASA’s little joke, but no.  SOFIA will be a nimble bird, moving to where the interesting stuff is, darting around and about much like a blogger in pursuit of signs of spring, lens plastered to face. 

My first reaction was Holy Wah!  I’d buy tickets to that!  Then I read, “Plans are in the works for writers and teachers to be invited to join scientists with SOFIA up where the air is thin.”  Where do I sign up? 

I think it would probably be cool to fly a plane, but I’m not motivated to learn how. I’m an ignoramus when it comes to astronomy or engineering or any of the technology required to launch these enterprises. I’ll tell you what, though. I’m an expert at the flights of fancy that lead people to think it might make sense to turn an airplane into a giant telescope.  So now I’m wondering what a guy like Daugherty Johnson, Eastport’s snow sculptor of wolves and sled dogs, architect of treeehouses, could do with a little smaller Flying Machine, maybe something like this yellow seaplane.

I’m going to ask him.  I’ll tell you what he says.

Helgens uppdrag hos bilduppdraget är Drömmar
Jag drömmer just nu om sol och värme

Tinha um sorriso amável e olhos que respondiam prontamente ao pensamento da pessoa; de modo que não era difícil conversar com ela; uma singular, embora cortês, liberdade para expressar suas próprias opiniões; uma completa ausência de afetação. Essas foram as características que me impressionaram e, levando tudo isso em conta, foi a única visita agradável que tive em minha vida, na condição de escritor. Ela não me entediou com louvações aos meus escritos, mas simplesmente disse que há escritores com quem nos sentimos privilegiados de ter relações, pela natureza da nossa simpatia por sua obra – ou algo parecido etc. etc. etc.

Ikväll är det film kväll i bakabo
Först polisskolan 4, sen heartbreakers och sist beck – manen med ikonerna
