Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Filipino people, the Austronesian speaking people traveled from the Asian mainland by land bridges across the continental shelf to the South East Asian archipelago. They then sailed onward to as far East as Polynesia, and as far West as Madagascar, aboard the ancient vessel: the Balangay.....

The total haul. Soul Calibur, the substandard Sonic game, an additional controller, a VMU, and the Dreamcast itself. So that's about $350.

More than 800 students from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico launched nearly 50 high-powered, amateur rockets April 15, near NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, during the Agency's annual rocket competition.
For the past nine months prior, teams of middle school, high school, college, and university students were tasked to design, build, and launch a rocket and scientific payload to an altitude between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, while making a successful landing and executing a scientific or engineering payload mission.
Student Launch is one of NASA's eight Artemis Student Challenges - a series of activities providing students access to the Artemis program. Through Artemis, NASA will return humans to the Moon for long-term exploration, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, missions that will help pave the way for future missions to Mars.
The 2023 launch event and award ceremony are available to view on NASA's Marshall YouTube and Student Launch Facebook pages.

Aftermath of a research space rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Downtown L.A. It's a bit blurry, because I don't have a Tripod. I used the Mustang's rear window as a tripod replacement. With little success ;)

Watching Space shuttle launches is not really my thing but when my friend Paul Aughey set the trip up, how could I pass on going to Florida. The day before the launch, they predicted a 30% chance of a successful launch because of a tropical weather system passing through the area. Paul found a viewing access about seven miles to the north in Mosquito Lagoon (appropriately named I might add). Hundreds if not thousands of fellow kayakers and canoers lined the channel under the watchful eye of the U.S. Coast Guard. I have to admit I got kinda teary-eyed when the thing took off. I think the coolest thing was about 90 seconds after it took off this incredible thunderous roar reached us. It sounded and vibrated like heavy thunder but it lasted for minutes. It was amazing. Too bad my longest lens was on a 300 mm.
The STSS satellite was successfully launched from Vandenberg AFB at 1:24 PM local, 5 May 2009. This was a Delta II 7920 launch vehicle with 9 strap-on solid motors.

Poppyscotland news release 7 September 2010
LOTHIAN SCHOOL PUPILS ATTEND PREMIERE OF FILM BASED ON POIGNANT EXPERIENCES ON FIRST WORLD WAR BATTLEFIELD TOUR
Ex-Service charity Poppyscotland and Learning and Teaching Scotland today (7 September) held a special screening of a new 20-minute film, which follows the physical and emotional journey of six school pupils during a First World War battlefield tour in Belgium and Northern France.
The six pupils from Dunbar Grammar School were among a group of 30 to attend a special screening of The Journey at the Cameo Cinema in Edinburgh. The film was made by Poppyscotland in May 2010 as part of the charity’s education project, Sowing the Poppy seed, which aims to transform the way pupils learn about veterans, remembrance and conflict. A mix of fact and opinion, the film provides a starting point for debate about the First World War and conflict in general.
A DVD will be sent to every school and college in Scotland, featuring The Journey and 32 other films, and includes subtitles in English and Gaelic. The film will also be available online, along with a series of internet-based materials including planning documents, challenges and teachers’ notes. Also, following the success of the charity’s Poppy Poetry competition for schools in 2009, a new competition will be held this year, in conjunction with the Scottish Poetry Library, extended to older children and adults in further and higher education.
Chief Executive Ian McGregor said: “We are very proud of our education project. In order for Poppyscotland to continue its work in the future, it is vital that as they grow up young people have an understanding of the difficult and demanding issues that war and remembrance raise.
“Over the past two years Sowing the Poppy seed has provided both pupils and teachers with a variety of creative and engaging learning opportunities and we are confident that this year’s resources, including the powerful DVD, will be a valued asset to schools and colleges across Scotland.”
Anne Jardine, Director, Learning and Community at Learning and Teaching Scotland, added: “Sowing the Poppy seed is a superb educational resource that aligns with the philosophy of Curriculum for Excellence. It allows teachers and learners to make meaningful connections across the curriculum, using a powerful and emotive subject matter.”

Pro riders gravitate towards this sleek 24-footer for the accommodating 17-person interior as much as the performance and wakes. There’s a lot to be said for a plush place to recover and professional riders like Amber Wing are on board with Supra’s style of comfort. Amber especially appreciated the comfort and the performance of her Supra this year while she trained for and won Queen of Wake and Best Women’s Rider. The wide seating gives you the ability to kick back and slide into the luxurious interior with full support. Double-up convertible rear-facing seats take the strain out of being a spectator. Of course when it’s “game on,” riders want to be behind the 242 where the Gravity III ballast system swells to an industry-leading 1700 pounds, the SmartPlate refines shape and the wakes Launch. Take the reigns on all of this performance with the VISION dash controlling speed, wake size, wake shape and tailoring those settings for specific riders. The Supra Launch 242 is the ride of your life inside and out.
