A few of the pics i took today of the lake ice (bulldozer) on my normally peaceful serene lake

Monday night, strong winds blew chunks of ice off the lake; upsetting piers, boats, fences, and – in some cases – homes and cottages
Approximately 40 properties on Alberta Beach were damaged after strong winds forced large ice flows off the lake and into several homes, boat houses, and garages.

This might be a great weekend to watch for auroras, or northern lights
This is the strongest flare seen so far in 2013.
Today’s flare was associated with an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME). Experimental NASA research models show that the CME began at 3:36 a.m. EDT on April 11 and that the charged particles left the sun at over 600 miles per second (1,000 miles per second). Most CMEs reach Earth in one to three days, which means this might be a great weekend to watch for auroras, or northern lights. GPS and communications signals might also undergo some disruption.

  Atmospheric phenomena have been registered in the cities of Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg and Tyumen.
In Chelyabinsk, witnesses said the explosion was so loud that it resembled an earthquake and thunder at the same time, and that there were huge trails of smoke across the sky. Others reported seeing burning objects fall to earth.
Office buildings in downtown Chelyabinsk are being evacuated. The regional Emergency Ministry said the phenomenon was a meteorite shower, but locals have speculated that it was a military fighter jet crash or a missile explosion.

Canada commemorative stamps  Happy Chinese New Year *恭禧發財
This 2013 year of Snake is meant for steady progress and attention to detail. Focus and discipline will be necessary for you to achieve what you set out to create.  Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen because it means that your family will not starve.

I am free
*Such a bird in the sky ,,,, I am free
I forgot the meaning of fear ,,,, I am free
Equal to the wild wind ,,,,I am free
In reality, not in a dream*

Silence above me
Sky full of rain
Rain falling through me
But there's barely any pain
Under the cold whisper of the stars
We've burned down the last bridge
And it all fell into the abyss
I will be free
From evil and from good
My soul was on the blade of the knife

I could have been with you
I could have forgotten about all
I could have loved you
But that's nothing but a game
In the whistling wind behind my back
I will forget your voice
And about that earthly love
That was burning us to ash
And I was going mad
In my soul, there's no more place for you

I am free
Such a bird in the sky
I am... more »

*Cuz :))        All through the night
Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see*

All through the night, I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night, This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today, Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chancethey m... more »

'twas bound to happen
google got into social in a big way (too late , and with their own seed),* so now it makes sense that FB lob one over googles' bow (from behind the walled garden) and introduce a refined in-house search :)))
wonder how the G+ manager/execs are taking this? ;p

"History’s absolutism depends for its existence on one thing: the elimination of Tragedy. Tragedy is the great relativizer, the great poetical strength of all Literature … but the modern World and modern  history have depended very much on the expulsion of Tragedy from their realm … History wishes not to recognize that in the world of Tragedy, in the world of conflicting values, there are no guilty parties.

Google still has plenty of work to do among large enterprises — starting with Google itself
The company’s own job posts demonstrate just how ingrained Microsoft’s productivity suite remains in corporate life, or at least in the corporate lexicon. A search of Google’s jobs portal brings up a long list of positions that explicitly cite proficiency in Microsoft Office programs — particularly Excel and PowerPoint — as minimum or preferred qualifications for doing the job.
