A Trip to Spain

My husband and I went on a once in a lifetime trip to Barcelona, Spain last year. We had been saving money for the trip for almost three years. We couldn't believe it when the day of the trip finally arrived. We got up at four in the morning. After we got our luggage to the car, we set our securitychoice.com alarm system and left for our dream vacation.

The flight to Spain was extremely long, but we didn't mind. My husband and I slept a good portion of the trip. When we weren't sleeping we were talking about all the fun stuff we were going to do on the trip. Most of the time we talked about how we couldn't believe that we actually going to Spain.

When we arrived at the airport we got our luggage and took a cab to our hotel. Even though we excited to start our vacation, we decided stay at the hotel and relax the first evening of our vacation. We order room service and watch a Spanish movie.

The next morning when we woke up we started planning what we were going to do that day. We finally decided that we would go to Montserrat. This is a famous mountain Spain. Before we headed for the mountain we went to a little grocery store to purchase items for a picnic lunch. We took a long hike on the mountain. Once we got to the top of the mountain, we could not believe the amazing view. We took a ton of pictures, before settling down for our picnic. By the time we were done hiking down the mountain we were ready to relax.

We headed back to our hotel where we booked a couple's massage. The massages were amazing and relaxed both of us.

The rest of the week was filled with more memorable activities. We visited so many amazing museums on the trip. I think our favorite part of the trip was visiting a house that Gaudi built. We are sad to be home, but we are already planning our next trip.

Searching the Mysteries of Black Holes

Looking at Weather.com on Hughesnet satellite internet

The internet is a very important component of my everyday life. Every morning before I drink my morning coffee, I make sure to check out the local weather report at weather.com. This site is one of the most well known sources for weather, so it has a great history of providing accurate forecasts.
I usually check out the current day’s weather report as well as the rest of the week’s future forecast. Weather.com also has a cool little radar feature that allows its users to pin point the exact area of the storm and the direction that it is heading. Because I connect with my lightning fast Hughesnet internet satellite internet satellite, the radar report always streams smoothly without having to take time to load.

The radar tool generally shows the fronts history for the past three hours. So it shows the direction that the storm has taken up until the current time and is updated on a frequent basis. This way, users can track the storm and plan their activities around it.

Note that it is very important to have a high speed internet connection like satellite internet satellite internet in order to use the radar tool, and the Hughesnet packages hughesnet packages I found in my area work very well for my needs . It probably would not be able to function with a slow dial up internet connection.

Vortexes are caused by Energy Anomalies

The above image represents a time vortex. At the time I began drafting this article it was scheduled to be published on April 10, 2010- which is the date shown on this post. A strange thing happened whenever I made three attempts to schedule this post for a future date. It published it today, March 28, 2010 at about 2 am. I found that to be very interesting given the nature of my blog post. I was setting up different posts for this blog so they will publish automatically in case I get busy with other writing. This was not the first entry that I scheduled, but it is the only one that appeared immediately when I set the time and date. Mysterious indeed, isn't it?

My curiosity and awe over this incident was so peaked that I decided to conduct a little research into the topic of space time vortexes. I found some fascinating research by NASA into Einstein's theory on the space time "dimple" vortex theory. You can read the entire article here.

Still captivated by this event, I searched for more answers about tonight's strange occurrance, or wrinkle in time. I turned to space news to find out if there are any electromagnetic storms. I found an image taken by NOAA of a 3-Day Estimated Planetary K Index, which shows satellite fluxes due to electromagnetic storms.

The spike for today is only one level below the reading that measures the onset of a major space electromagnetic storm. My mind is still racing with possibilities and the desire to find the meaning behind this time flux today. So I searched the internet for news from NASA or official sites on known anomalies that they might be watching. I found this report NASA Baffled by Unexplained Force Acting on Space Probes. 


What does it all mean?

Hold on...it gets better. 

I searched space weather to find out about today's solar storms or flares and found this information. We are in the midst of a storm and a meteorite came close to the earht recently before it burned up.
Here are the reports for today taken directly from their website.

AURORA WATCH: A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's magnetic field and causing some geomagnetic activity around the Arctic Circle. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

SUNSPOT MOVIE: Sunspot 1057 is crackling with C-class solar flares. Yesterday, amateur astronomer Michael Buxton of Ocean Beach, California, saw one with his own eyes. "I was trying out a new solar filter on my 4-inch refracting telescope," he says. "My girlfriend and I watched in amazement as magnetic filaments whipped around the sunspot and triggered an eruption." Click on the image to see the flare in action:

"I made the movie from a sequence of 1-minute images taken between 1755 and 1845 on March 27th," says Buxton. "What a great day to test our new system."

Today could be good, too. C-flares are continuing at a rate of one every 3-to-6 hours, and NOAA forecasters estimate a 20% chance of even stronger M-flares. Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor developments

I believe all this information is connected in some way. Perhaps we can post follow ups and toss some theories around to help digest the data. I'm keeping an open mind in the meantime about vortexes and anomalies in the space time continuum. See you next time, what ever day it happens to be.

It's no Mystery how to find a good Truck Repair Shop

Our daughter recently married and moved to the windy city of Chicago from Florida so my husband and I need to prepare for all sorts of travel emergencies. We also need to locate the best  Chicago auto repair in case the unthinkable happens and we end up broken down alongside the highway.  I 'm getting prepared by locating the best auto repair shops in the city of Chicago.I'm using the Repair Pal website to find these listings quickly. Their website shows all the details that I need to find the right auto repair shop. I found 15 pages of listings for Chicago with more pages available. Each page lists 40-50 different shops with detailed information disclosing their specialty, location, contact information and specific make and models serviced by each location.

I'm making a handy list to carry in the glove box which will include the phone numbers, addresses and easy to navigate maps.  I'll find all this in one handy site and it will only take a few minutes to print or copy to my Palm.  Chicago is a massive city with dozens, if not hundreds of listings to sort through.  I'm glad I won't have to go through the hassle of looking them up the traditional way using a phone book.  With a few clicks of the mouse, I have half a dozen auto repair shops located that fit my needs. Another handy feature on this website is the locator map. After all, Chicago is a massive city so I need guidance in finding my way around.

The useful aspect about Repair Pal is that they list by automobile make and model. If you own a Toyota Corolla then you can research that specific model and fine tune your search to the exact year. Get a repair estimate on the type of work you need to have done on your car. For example, if you need a water pump an approximate cost to repair or replace can be calculated using specific information with the handy site tool. A heroic do-it-yourself mechanic can replace a water pump and save the expense of hiring a mechanic thanks to the complete step-by-step instructions given by Repair Pal.  I'm no hero so I'll call for professional help that will be provided by a mechanic in one of the listings I downloaded to my palm. A handy estimate even shows how much it will cost to replace an unfixable part. You can find all this information very easily now that the repair expert is available for iphone and Mobile Web.  Would you like to have a comprehensive repair pal at your fingertips all the time?
