The New York City Port Authority has released a stunning photograph of workers placing the spire on top of One World Trade Center.. They are 1,700+ feet above the ground in the photo. Just contemplate that.. The image is amazing, and surely enough to cause persons acrophobia to look away with fear..
The picture was taken on May 10, 2013. The building is set to open in 2014—when it will become the tallest building in the Western world and third tallest on the planet..

Two more funerals for Oklahoma schoolchildren to be held Friday
This Oklahoma tornado story has been making me feel quite down this week. The horror and heartache that occurred is overwhelming. And now these sad funerals taking place only add insult to the injury… Any time a child loses a life is beyond distressing to me since I had my own …
And I’ve been doing a lot of deep contemplation lately about life.. Lots of prayer, perhaps you can say. But I just don’t know what I’m praying to anymore…

'Winter' - maybe even snow - to return for Memorial Day weekend
The weather is always weird.
But this is weird

Cockroaches quickly lose sweet tooth to survive
It’s a story about how evolution protects a species… So what will pest control experts do now?!
Cockroaches quickly lose sweet tooth to survive
I debated going there, but I'm going to go there
If anyone saw the news yesterday you most likely witnessed at least snippets of the video of the machete/hatchet attack in London.. It was considered to be a terrorist attack, two men hit a young British soldier with the car and began to hack and attack him, almost behead him and let him die in the street..
The entire affair was bizarre including the fact that it’s a police 30 minutes to get to the scene, the gun of the attacker supposedly blowing up in his hand, and throngs of people simply standing around aimlessly watching the entire thing happen.. It even appeared that some of the people in the background were doing nothing to stop an attacker stop the perpetrator but instead simply filming the entire event and watching as the body lay bleeding in the street..
I don’t know what to make of the crowd’s reaction to this event.. Obviously the video did not show the actual attack and we only see the aftermath, but there appeared to be no one ready to challenge the two attackers.. I just don’t know what to make of this..

An Honor for the Creator of the GIF
Steve Wilhite, who invented the enduring GIF file format in 1987, will receive a lifetime achievement Webby Award.He is proud of the GIF, but remains annoyed that there is still any debate over the pronunciation of the format.
“The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations,” Mr. Wilhite said. “They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.”
Gif guff? Or respect to the ‘jif’?
So this is the guy that did it?
Thanks for all those cats, spinning sirens, and exploding bombs. Thank you.
