9/11: Let us all remember and never forget!

I saw the flag on our neighbor's house just hanging and gently moving in the light breeze. It instilled what a great country we still live in and that we can make it better if we all try. It is an overcast and slightly rainy day. The humidity is very high due to all the rain that is approaching our area.

This was part of the inside of the main welcome center of Anheuser-Busch located in St Louis. I thought that it was really neat with all the flags and mirrors. I wanted to get as much of it without getting any of the wall or as little as i could.

Colts starting DT arrested on drug charge

Here is another THUG playing football.  He is just another great example of an idol for our children to look up to...
 
Hey, then we like that in our society where children idolize and dress like convicts and gangsters without even knowing why they dress like that.  They think that it is cool..

INDIANAPOLIS - Indianapolis Colts starting defensive tackle Ed Johnson was arrested early Wednesday on a drug possession charge.

Colts president Bill Polian said the team was still gathering facts about the case before determining how it will discipline Johnson, but Johnson will not play Sunday at Minnesota.

"He will not play this week, for sure,'' coach Tony Dungy said.

Polian said Johnson was stopped for speeding between midnight and 1 a.m. on Interstate 465 just north of Indianapolis. Police also charged him with marijuana possession.

He later was released on bond from the Hamilton County Jail.

Johnson was temporarily expelled from Penn State in 2005 for violating the school policy on sexual misconduct and confining another student against the student's will. He was reinstated in 2006, but later suspended for the Outback Bowl for violating team rules.

The eight torodial magnets can be seen on the huge ATLAS detector with the calorimeter before it is moved into the middle of the detector. This calorimeter will measure the energies of particles produced when protons collide in the center of the detector.

Will it work or blow up the Earth?  We will soon find out!

Lets hope for the best!
