Toys! Missing LEGO Bricks? Easy to replace at LegoLand

LEGO is the most popular toy for kids in this shopping season. If your child's favorite kit is missing any bricks, the solution is simple: get them replaced at the LEGO website. LEGOland can save the day for you Mom and Dad. Here is how...

Just how does this Sun, Earth heating thing work anyway?

How does the whole climate scene, earth's temperature changes, the Sun's radiant heat, the green house gas effect and more work anyway? Why should we care to know?

For one thing, the physics of how and why our Earth has the temperature patterns that it has are not secret. They are actually not very complicated and they are not questionable. The physics is as well understood as the force of gravity. We understand, at our space agencies, gravity well enough that a small space craft could be launched ten years ago to meet up with a comet and go into orbit around it and even get a small lander onto that comet. The physics of our planet's temperature and the way our oceans and lands and atmosphere interact with the Sun's irradiant light are well understood from theoretical models as well as real observations to confirm that theory using satellite data. 

One of the best and complete explanations of how this works is found in the link below at NASA's Earth Observatory website. The illustrations are excellent, and anyone can feel the logic, the reality and the science reading all about it. Basically, it works likes like this: 

Nurses - brave, under appreciated, too easy to pick on during Ebola in the US. Shame on us.

Rick Mercer. A favorite Canadian son, uses humor to make observations and good points about our society and politics when things should be said and everyone is too afraid to do so. He has a great show on CBC television every Tuesday night and played again on Fridays at the end of the busy week. Rick always includes his rant walking monologue commentary each week. A bit annoyed that some US Nurses were being treated so badly as they came back from Africa or actually suffered through Ebola themselves after caring for sick patients, Mr. Mercer gave this rant. All about just how brave and respected Nurses are, and how doing anything to them other than just thanking them with respect is just…wrong. Watch the video below that Rick Mercer has on YouTube.

Rick's Rant for #Nurses. Totally correct. http://t.co/nwFvhRNrIi

2013 Cloud Dangers in Your Digital Life... continue in 2014

Happy holidays. If you have a new smart phone, iPad, tablet or computer, and you are busy linking all your devices to automatically syncronize your music, pictures, and work files, then read and share this blog post. Your digital life can be erased in seconds using the cloud. Clouds and iClouds may seem fluffy and nice, but both have their dangers. New pilots get Visual Flight Rules licenses: control of your aircraft requires visual reference to the horizon. VRF pilots should NEVER FLY INTO CLOUDS. Without more training, the average VFR pilot will get their aircraft into a spiral-dive in about 15 minutes. Your computing "Cloud" can also take you into a digital spiral-dive with its new vulnerability to hacking that you should be aware of. Imagine all your files on all your devices getting deleted.

World Sports Navigator - Android Apps on Google Play- No Ads. FREE.

World Sports Navigator - Android Apps on Google Play

Free Android APP.

I recently updated my Info Navigator for Winter Games App for use 365 days/year. New name: World Sports Navigator. You can update the previous version automatically using your Google Play App on your Android phone or tablet. Also, link above will take you to the App on the Google Play site using your web-browser. 

The App is free to use, and it is free of ads. Yes, that is correct: no ads. This is my contribution to promote sports and fun. "Make sports not war."

Not just professional sports information, not just Olympics. The links provided, and the @OlympicNav Twitter feed, provide information on Special Olympic and Para Sports of all kinds and all levels during the day. This twitter feed in the App is generated by real people. (Usually myself, not a robot or program.) Our App follows many amateur athletes and you can help too by passing this info on to your friends.

Feel free to offer your suggestions, I may add them. The App provides maps of event locations for the last Summer and Winter Olympic games, links to the best sports information broadcasters in US, Canada, UK, France and Australia, and links to official Olympic social media sites.

No charge, from me to you. Enjoy.

From Rochester Michigan, USA. 

(The World Sports Navigator App update will also come out soon in the Amazon App store for Kindle users.)
