American flying car soars in test flight

“Flying cars are all the rage these days. Earlier in the week came word of a Dutch flying car, the PAL-V. Now, an American car-plane is making headlines for completing a successful test flight just days after its European competitor.

Woburn, Mass.-based Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its prototype flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle – dubbed the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.

Last month, it flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes. Commercial jets fly at 35,000 feet.

Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.” via American flying car soars in test flight – Dash – CBS News.

Have I Told You Lately


And she’s back! Don’t wait until your significant other goes to Italy for 18 days to play this song for them — make plans today to tell that special someone THIS WEEKEND there is no one else above them…

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I told you there’s no one else above you?

Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,

Ease my troubles, that’s what you do.

For the morning sun in all it’s glory,

Meets the day with hope and comfort too,

You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,

Ease my troubles, that’s what you do.

There’s a love less defined,

And its yours and its mine,

Like the sun.

And at the end of the day,

We should give thanks and pray,

To The One, to The One.

Have I Told You Lately that I love you?

Have I told you there’s no one else above you?

Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,

Ease my troubles, that’s what you do.

There’s a love less defined,

And its yours and its mine,

Like the sun.

And at the end of the day,

We should give thanks and pray,

To The One, to The One.

Have I Told You Lately That I Love you?

Have I told you there’s no one else above you?

Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,

Ease my troubles, that’s waht you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,

Ease my troubles, that’s what you do.

Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,

Ease my troubles, that’s what you do.

Pope John Paul II born; This Day in History

Pope John Paul II on 12 August 1993 in Denver ...

“On May 18, 1920, Karol Jozef Wojtyla is born in the Polish town of Wadowice, 35 miles southwest of Krakow. Wojtyla went on to become Pope John Paul II, history’s most well-traveled pope and the first non-Italian to hold the position since the 16th century. After high school, the future pope enrolled at Krakow’s Jagiellonian University, where he studied philosophy and literature and performed in a theater group. During World War II, Nazis occupied Krakow and closed the university, forcing Wojtyla to seek work in a quarry and, later, a chemical factory. By 1941, his mother, father, and only brother had all died, leaving him the sole surviving member of his family.

Although Wojtyla had been involved in the church his whole life, it was not until 1942 that he began seminary training. When the war ended, he returned to school at Jagiellonian to study theology, becoming an ordained priest in 1946. He went on to complete two doctorates and became a professor of moral theology and social ethics. On July 4, 1958, at the age of 38, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Krakow by Pope Pius XII. He later became the city’s archbishop, where he spoke out for religious freedom while the church began the Second Vatican Council, which would revolutionize Catholicism. He was made a cardinal in 1967, taking on the challenges of living and working as a Catholic priest in communist Eastern Europe. Once asked if he feared retribution from communist leaders, he replied, “I’m not afraid of them. They are afraid of me.” via Pope John Paul II born — History.com This Day in History — 5/18/1920.

Truly one of the great men of our time. I’m currently reading a book about him and Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan called The President, The Pope and The Prime Minister which I highly recommend if you’re interested in recent history…

I’d like to have a ctrl-alt-delete keystroke combo!

janelondon's avatarPresent Tense

resetWhat if we all had a reset button? Maybe in the middle of our forehead or more subtly placed behind our ear. You wouldn’t want to press it too often; maybe never.  But if you did, you would go back to your default settings.  Back to before you screwed up.  We could go back to how we were as children.

Imagine that.   No bias, no guilt, no pre-conceptions, nothing.  Just a clean slate.  I kind of like that idea.  I like it even though I’ve often proclaimed that everything that I’ve done in my life has gotten me to this very moment; lessons learned, mistakes made, success achieved, along with pain, guilt, and failure.  We are all the jumbled events of our lives and our choices and sometimes that results in a lot of unhappiness, doesn’t it?

Or maybe that’s just me.  I’m trying mightily to expunge the demons of…

How To Eat Information

“Information, if viewed from the point of view of food, is never a production issue. … It’s a consumption issue, and we have to start thinking about how we create diets and exercise,” said JP Rangaswami in his TEDx presentation.

For a man who currently has 38,000 books in his collection and lives in Calcutta, India where they are known for their rich, savory and sweet Southern Indian cuisine, his is a theory that could very well make sense!

Since most of us consume food according to a certain diet, minimize our surrender to sinful indulgences, measure our nutrition intake to make sure we have enough of everything; it’s possible that we’ve been doing the exact same thing all along with our consumption of data – or perhaps we should. As Plato the philosopher once said, “Knowledge is the food of the soul”.

“When I saw Supersize Me, I started thinking, now what would happen if an individual had 31 days of nonstop Fox News?” joked JP Rangaswami.

What do you think? If you saw information the way you see food, what would you do to digest the knowledge differently – nibble, bite, scoff or binge?” via How To Eat Information | FinerMinds.

I ‘eat’ information via Gmail, Google Reader and Gist and then share the best of it here. If you want to ‘eat’ better, I suggest you need better thoughts, tools and tactics. One way to do that might be to read my free ebook on ‘personal news aggregation’. Register at http://e1evation.com/pna/…

Well said…

What is LOVE???

Remember when you first fell in love?

That feeling of butterflies,

Fluttering around in your stomach.

That first magical kiss, where did it come from?

Only God really knows…

What is Love?

Love is an undying commitment

Which cannot be bought

Love in its purest form is a gift from God

It endures forever…no matter what

Love is forgiveness and understanding

Love is seeing what cannot be seen and having

Faith that God will answer prayers

Love is having complete trust in the person God

Brought into your life, no matter the circumstances

Or difficult paths each one of us must climb

Love is like a flower,

There is a time to die and a time to bloom

It is when the flower blooms,

That it can be loved by all

Love is the greatest gift that God gives us

When you give your heart to another…

Jeremiah 29:11. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I Don’t Understand, But God Has A Plan…

I don’t understand, but God has a plan…

A plan to not bring me harm, but to prosper and provide for me

Even when I do not understand myself…

I just remember that God has a plan, and it’s an AWESOME plan

I may not always know what I want or how I feel

But I am reassured, because I know that God has a plan…

God’s plan has no limits and he understands me completely.

When I am weary with tears, God is there to say “its ok my child”

I understand your pain; remember to trust in me, I won’t fail you

My promises are golden, they are cast in stone, and you can count on me always

I don’t understand, but God has a plan

A plan to teach me understanding, having hope in things unseen

Knowing that God…

Here, There and Everywhere…

“To lead a better life, I need my love to be here…

Here,
making each day of the year
changing my life with a wave of her hand
nobody can deny that there’s something there

There, running my hands through her hair.
Both of us thinking how good this could be.
Someone is speaking
But she doesn’t know he’s there.

I want her everywhere
and if she’s beside me, I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
knowing that love is to share
each one believing that love never dies
watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there

I will be there, and everywhere
Here, there, and everywhere.”
