Um, did you say SPA? HELLO! SIGNMEUPNOW!
I am in Washington DC and will show up whenever you tell me to do so.

Sounds like a good time.

DC!

I would love to meet you in Chicago!

You are going to be in LA???? Wow – I think you just made my heart skip a beat (not in a stalkerish sort of way). I have been reading your blog for so long and can totally relate to so much (specifically the kidisms) you post.

More specifics and I’m so all over it!!!!

I’m in Los Angeles! I love being pampered!

Come to DC! DC rocks and all of us here love you so we would have a really fun time I promise. Maybe we can get Barack or Michelle to come!!!!!

DC!!

You asked us a while ago for dress suggestions for this wedding, and I am dying to know what you selected. I do hope you will post photos of your awesome new dress, purchased to show off you awesome new Shredded body?

wow. your story about joe made me think about my favorite story of him (and funny enough, joe was drunk, on this occasion as well…): it was just after he had gotten his mortician job. i was giving he and JB a ride home from wherever we were, and joe told me
“you know, i could do your makeup really well. you’d just have to lie down.”

DC

I’m in DC! Would love to meet you and get free spa treatments!

DC! theres lots of awesome bloggers and people in the good old district! trust, you will have an amazing time here.

Oooh! Pick me! Chicago! Any day/time- I will leave some cheerios and a sippy cup out for the Fussbot and come pay homage to the spa day goddess!

Would love to see you in DC….We could go hang out with Barack and Michelle, see the monuments, make some notecards for Chief Justice Roberts………..AND of course do a spa day. Please Please.

Deeee to the Ceeeee! and i am a blogger, too, so you should pick me.

it doesn’t matter that i haven’t updated in a while, right? i mean, i’ve been busy and stuff. you know. but i’m a blogger, i swear.

Chicago please! I’m totally there!!

DC. Yes. This should happen.

Chicago! It would be so fun to meet you!! Then I would not feel so weird talking about you to my husband. :)

DC! DC! :-)

Can’t you talk BOCA into making you go to more than one? ;-)

Chicago! Yay for Chicago! (Also yay for BOCA, for sponsoring it, and for making products which often step in to fill critical gaps in my meal planning abilities).

I’m with Samantha of Back to Me and also my best friend….

Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago oh God please Chicago! I’m fee that night (shocking!) And would LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet you! The spa stuff would just be icing on the cake :-)

CHICAGO BABY!!

too bad i am canadian as i totally could use $5000!

Sweet (Home) Chicago! Are we winning? I think we are…

I live just outside L.A. and would love to make Feb. 17th work. In fact, I’m being hopeful and pro-active and putting it on my calendar now because I’ll need that amount of time to A.) figure out how to get my butt away from my two kiddos and B.) talk myself into not being too shy/awkward/scared to go to something like this alone. Hmm…maybe I’ll talk a friend into coming with so I don’t feel so lame about showing up by myself.

Oh, and congrats on getting a babysitter and getting to have a weekend kid-free for such a big event!

Ha, that’s an awesome story, you definitely have to make sure you record the speech or something, and at least give us a highlight reel of the entertaining bits. Nobody really cares about JB’s emotions or his relationship with his brother, we just want to hear jokes at his expense. And I mean that with love.

I’ve never tried to shit and piss and vomit all at the same time, although I have done all three very close together. I did however get drunk at one of my brothers shows out in Chapel Hill when he was apparently playing some kind of teen center with absolutely NO BOOZE. Apparently they were trying to keep kids out of trouble or something. We didn’t know that in advance, or care afterwards, and I ended up getting really shit faced and got kicked out, and then stood on the top rail of some parking deck and pissed on the hippies walking four or five stories below me. I still can’t believe none of them found me and kicked my ass. I guess it was because they were hippies and therefore total wimps.

You’d have to be a little nutso not to pick L.A.. Chicago and D.C in Feb?? No thanks. Okay full disclosure, I live in L.A. and probably wouldn’t mind a spa treatment.

Hope I’m not too late…I’d love to do the DC one!! How fun!

You know, I’m kicking myself for not saying “Let’s meet” while you were here at MacWorld. Someday, I’ll get over my shyness. Maybe.

Holy cow you have a lot of DC readers. Count me among them, and sign me up.

Oooh, would love to go to the DC event!!

My toes, my fingers and my back all live in the DC area and are starving for attention. My brain of course wants to meet other bloggers. : )

I’ll be at the DC BOCA event! Sounds like fun. I like massages…

Wishing they were having one of those spa days in san diego. could really use it right now!

Pardon me, anyone ever hear about that electrical contractor on Chambers called New York Electrician, 94 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007 (646) 415-6723

Yo, does anyone know about that new electrician on Chambers Street by the name of New York Electrician, 94 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007 (646) 415-6723

Thanks for your personal marvelous posting! I truly enjoyed reading it, you can be a great author.I will be sure to bookmark your blog and may come back in the foreseeable future. I want to encourage one to continue your great posts, have a nice day!

There is certainly a great deal to find out about this issue. I love all the points you’ve made.

Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!

Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.

The new launch date is Sunday, Sept. 25.The first modernized Global Positioning System satellite featuring additional navigation signals to benefit military and civilian users around the world will be launched Wednesday night aboard a Boeing Delta 2 rocket. A Delta 2 rocket will launch the first modernized GPS 2R satellite. Photo: Carleton Bailie/BoeingLiftoff from pad 17A at the Cape Canaveral spaceport is scheduled for 11:53 p.m. EDT, the opening of a 28-minute window that extends past midnight to 12:21 a.m. EDT (0353-0421 GMT).The Lockheed Martin-built GPS 2R-M1 spacecraft has spent seven months undergoing launch testing and preparations at the Cape, twice as long as originally envisioned. Concerns about internal components on the satellite and delays building Range Safety batteries for the Delta booster postponed the mission from May.The early weather forecast is calling for a 40 percent chance of clouds and rain interfering with Wednesday’s launch attempt. See the full forecast .It will take just over 24 minutes for the three-stage Delta 2 vehicle to propel the $75 million payload into a highly elliptical transfer orbit looping from 150 miles at its closest point from Earth to nearly 11,000 miles at the farthest. From there, the spacecraft will use its onboard kick motor to reach the GPS constellation by raising the low point to circularize the orbit and increase the orbital inclination to 55 degrees above and below the equator.The spaceborne network features 24 primary and several backup satellites flying in six orbital groupings. The Air Force continues to launch new satellites as replacements to keep the critical navigation system in good health. There are 28 functioning GPS satellites today, according to the military. GPS 2R-M1 will assume the Plane C, Slot 4 position, taking over for the GPS 2A-20 craft launched in May 1993. The aging satellite, although still operational, will be repositioned within the GPS constellation for the remainder of its life. The new slot for the old spacecraft will be determined later. The satellites send continuous navigation signals that enable users virtually anywhere on the planet to find their position in latitude, longitude and altitude and determine time. The information is so accurate that time can be figured to less than a millionth of a second, speed within a fraction of a mile per hour and pinpoint location within a matter of feet. The military’s orbiting GPS constellation began to take shape in 1989. To replace the original satellites as they age, Lockheed Martin built 21 so-called “replenishment” satellites. Dubbed the “2R” series, this current generation of GPS spacecraft has seen 13 flown since 1997, although the first one was lost in a launch explosion. Now, the remaining 8 are being retrofitted with upgrades to provide additional capabilities once deployed in space. Carrying the re-titled name GPS 2R-M, for Modernized, these upcoming satellites increase the power for existing signals and offer two new military signals as well as a second civilian signal. The changes fit within the existing GPS 2R satellite design. The Modernized spacecraft, which will weigh 4,545 pounds at launch, only 60 pounds heavier than the earlier model, have a redesigned external antenna panel; and higher-power, more-efficient transmitters highlight the internal changes. The navigation payload is built for Lockheed Martin by ITT Industries. The improvements will provide greater accuracy, added resistance to interference and enhanced performance for all users, according to the Air Force. The advancements for the military will provide warfighters with a more robust jam-resistant signal and enable better targeting of GPS-guided weapons in hostile environments, while the new civilian signal removes ionospheric errors and improves accuracy, officials say. Once circling the Earth, ground controllers will perform a multi-month test program to examine the new 2R-M satellite’s performance and users’ reception before proceeding with the next launch. If all goes well, the 2R-M2 satellite could lift off in January or February.Lockheed Martin has set aside several of the GPS 2R satellites that have not yet been upgraded in case a problem develops in space and the military needs to launch the proven design on short notice. The others are undergoing the overhaul process now.Ares 1-X PatchThe official embroidered patch for the Ares 1-X rocket test flight, is available for purchase.Apollo CollageThis beautiful one piece set features the Apollo program emblem surrounded by the individual mission logos.Expedition 21The official embroidered patch for the International Space Station Expedition 21 crew is now available from our stores.Hubble PatchThe official embroidered patch for mission STS-125, the space shuttle’s last planned service call to the Hubble Space Telescope, is available for purchase. | | | | 2014 Spaceflight Now Inc.Launch of the Delta 4-Heavy rocketAmerica’s heavy-lift rocket launched from Cape Canaveral at 9:47 p.m. EST on January 17 carrying a classified intelligence-gathering satellite for the nation.

STORY WRITTEN FOR & USED WITH PERMISSIONPosted: January 25, 2005Space station commander Leroy Chiao and flight engineer Salizhan Sharipov plan to stage a six-hour spacewalk early Wednesday to install experiments on the hull of the lab complex, including a European robotics system that can be controlled by radio from inside the Russian command module.This will be the first of two spacewalks planned for the Expedition 10crew and the 57th station EVA since assembly began in December 1998. Goinginto Wednesday’s excursion, 39 NASA astronauts, one Canadian, one Frenchmanand nine Russian cosmonauts have logged 338 hours and 17 minutes buildingand maintaining the international outpost.Chiao, making his fifth spacewalk, and Sharipov, making his first, havefive major objectives:To install a universal work platform, with base and wiring, on the hullof the command module.To mount the European commercial experiment Rokviss (robotic componentsverification on ISS), an engineering experiment to test the operation ofmanipulator rotary joints operated from inside the Russian command moduleZvezda using a radio commanding system.To relocate a Japanese space exposure experiment package. In its place,the spacewalkers will install a Rokviss antenna and connect cabling betweenthe antenna and a transciever.To inspect vents used by the station’s Elektron oxygen generationsystem to make sure they are clear. The Elektron system has had problemslately and engineers are taking advantage of the spacewalk to continuetroubleshooting.To install a Russian experiment known as Biorisk, which is designed tostudy the effects of the space environment on microorganisms.The Rokviss experiment “aims at the qualification of the newestlightweight robot joint technologies as developed in (the German AerospaceCenter’s) lab,” according to the agency’s web site. “They are the basis fora new generation of ultra-light, impedance controllable … arms which,combined with DLR’s newest articulated 4-fingered hands, are the essentialcomponents for future robonaut systems.”Additional information is available .Chiao and Sharipov plan to open the hatch in the Pirs airlock modulearound 2:25 a.m. EST (0725 GMT) to begin the spacewalk. If all goes well, they willre-enter Pirs and close the hatch around 7:52 a.m. EST (1252 GMT) to end the excursion.Since the Columbia disaster, the station has been staffed by rotatingtwo-man crews, one less than usual. Because a third crew member isn’tavailable to monitor the station’s systems during spacewalks, precautionsare taken to prevent problems.”We don’t have the third crewmember inside to respond to unexpectedfailures or circumstances that may happen, although unlikely, during thespacewalk,” said Derek Hassmann, Expedition 10 EVA flight director. “In atypical situation when we aren’t doing a spacewalk, the crew is the firstline of defense for critical failures such as, for an example, loss of cabinpressure or a fire or a significant problem with a coolant loop. But ofcourse with both crewmembers outside doing the spacewalk, we don’t have thecrew to help us respond.”So one of the things we do is we close a number of internal hatchesinside the spacecraft. What this does is separate the spacecraft intomanageable volumes, which we can then control from the ground usingground-commanded valves. We also have the crew reconfigure the U.S.-segmentcooling loops such that if we were to have a coolant leak we wouldn’t losetemperature control for all of the critical U.S. avionics. Finally, we setup cameras in the spacecraft that we can use from the ground to remotelymonitor the interior of the vehicle while the crew is outside.”John Glenn Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The historic first orbital flight by an American is marked by this commemorative patch for John Glenn and Friendship 7.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is available in our store.

File image of taken earlier this year shows a Russian Progress cargo freighter approaching the station for docking. Credit: NASAThe Progress M-50 craft was captured in the aft docking port of the station’s Zvezda service module at 0501 GMT (1:01 a.m. EDT), three days after from Baikonur Cosmodrome atop a Soyuz rocket. “Contact and capture confirmed,” NASA commentator Rob Navias announced from Houston’s Mission Control Center. “A perfect approach and docking by the Progress 15 craft, now a part of the International Space Station.”The station’s two-man crew, Expedition 9 commander Gennady Padalka and flight engineer Michael Fincke, are scheduled to open up the Progress later today and begin unloading bundles of food, equipment and experiments. Also packed aboard are replacement components for the U.S. and Russian life support systems and new cooling pumps for American spacewalk suits, plus clothing and materials for the next crew due to launch in October.”You can imagine how happy we must feel. We are looking forward to all of the things inside, including all of the replacement gear and things like that,” Fincke told CAPCOM astronaut Julie Payette in Mission Control shortly after the docking. “We are hoping we get a chance to work on the American spacesuits, the EMUs, to see if we can get those repaired. There is a lot of other neat stuff inside, too.”The freighter’s cargo compartment carries 3,042 pounds of dry supplies and hardware. The ship’s refueling compartment carries 1,521 pounds of propellant for the station’s thrusters. About 926 pounds of potable water and 110 pounds of oxygen and air have been ferried on the ship.This is the fifteenth resupply mission to the International Space Station, giving it the name Progress 15P in the station’s assembly sequence. The station is fully reliant upon the Russian Progress resupply ships until the U.S. space shuttle fleet returns to flight next spring. Today’s docking was the sixth since the Columbia tragedy 18 months ago.While the shuttles are grounded, the station Expedition crews were reduced from three to two crewmembers to lessen the amount of supplies needed in space.The next Progress is expected in November.In preparation for today’s Progress arrival, the Expedition 9 crew spent time clearing room for the new supplies and setting up video cameras to monitor the rendezvous, Mission Control said. Padalka trained on the Russian telerobotically operated docking system that he would have used to manually guide the Progress to the linkup in the unlikely event the automated system failed. This past week’s science activities included using the advanced ultrasound equipment to gather more data about what ultrasound examinations of healthy crewmembers look like while in microgravity, NASA reported. The work is also verifying techniques developed for minimally trained people to conduct the examinations with the help from doctors in remote places, such as Mission Control, Houston in this instance. The crew worked with a Russian experiment studying plasma-dust crystals and another studying the changes in body mass while in space. The crew also filled out dietary logs for two days to support the U.S. Biopsy experiment studying the effects of long-duration space flight on human skeletal muscle. Regular maintenance was conducted on the ventilation system and periodic environmental samples were collected. The crew also participated in a Soyuz emergency evacuation drill.
