Behind the Scenes of Princess Nadia and the Healing Light

Welcome back, My Dear Readers, today I am going to share with you my most private, personal, and secret project. The name of this project is ‘Nadia and the Healing Light’. I really don’t want to give away a lot of this novel, or series of novels. However, at the same time I really do want to share with you what I’m working on when I’m not here at The Other Shoe. The story of Princess Nadia is a story that I’m building around my last pet rat Princess Nadia.

 

Nadia was a very unusual and wonderful animal stop she displayed more personality, characteristics and intelligence than any rat I have had in my life. I have owned rats, often on, since my freshman year in college 1977. I understand that a lot of people have problems with rats. My next-door neighbor freaks out (literally jumps up and down screaming like something he bimbo on a chair). Especially in the case of my neighbor a fear a lot of what I see in people around wrath is just acting.

(The Brown Rat – Rattus Norvegicus)


 

Let me give you a little history on racks in America. The rats we had here in America are rattus norvegicus (Brown Rat). When this species was named it was believed that most of the rats it came to America came from Norway. The other major species of rat is a Rattus Rattus (Black Rat) and is believed to have originated in India. The modern day Fancy Rat was bred in England in the 1850s. Do you know why the fancy rat was bred in the England in the 1850s? Well let me tell you a little story.

 .

Black Rat - Rattus Rattus


(Black Rat – Rattus Rattus)


 .

One of the biggest past times (for men) in Victorian England was dog fighting. At this time, you see, rats were used in dog fighting as bait. The problem with the original rats they used (rattus rattus) is that the rats did not fight back. All the rats would do was run away. A gentleman from Ireland took it upon himself to breed a rat that was: domesticated, larger in size and would fight back in the pit.

 .

 Fancy Rat


 (Fancy Rat - Blonde Hooded Rat)


 .

It took many years but the industrious Irishman finally came up with the breed of rat that would box, the Fancy Rat. Now these fancy rats, when put into the pit with a dog, would tend to doge and take bites and would fall on its back and box the dog’s nose. It would not do fatal harm, but would scare the dog and add spice to the fights.

 

For the past one hundred fifty years fancy rats have been delegated to being breed in homes or the backroom of pet stores. This had resulted in the fancy rat becoming very domesticated but laden with many genetic problems. Nothing that makes them a danger to people or other house pets, these genetic deficiencies result in higher than average incidence of cancer and they get respiratory infections far too easy (compared with the wild cousins).

 

Having spent the past forty years (off and on) owning fancy rats I have developed a real affinity for them and learned the are very intelligent. They learn their names within days, they can be potty trained, they easily learn tricks and commands and they are extremely loyal. The experiences that I shared with Nakita and Nadia, Ben and Alice and now Alexander have given me a lot of ideas for novels. This is where Nadia and the Healing Light comes into play.

Princes Nadia

Nadia was the single most loving and intelligent rat I had ever had the privilege to share life. She made such a huge impact,, and left such a large gaping hole in my life I have decided to give her immortality. I will write a book and make her the main character. Hence, Princess Nadia and the Healing Light comes to life. However, it won’t just be Nadia, oh no. Nakita and Alexander, Ben and Alice will all have roles in my novels and all play large and vital roles.

.

Nakita Rat


(My Little Man, Nakita Hanning)


Well, I don’t want to give away the store so I will leave you with this: by the end of the first novel Nadia will place her life in danger, and that of her family and all of the Clan, just to try and save a human’s life. The human is named… Daniel.

 

Thanks for dropping by and as always…

ENJOY!

The Mars Report - Playing Catch-Up

Dear Readers, a lot has happened (up on Mars) in my absence and in this issue of the Mars Report I am going to work towards getting us caught-up! I was going through all the images that have come from Mars in the past two months and came along something very unexpected. On first glance it just looks like a shot of two of Curiosity’s tires (twenty inch tires, btw) from one of the navigation cameras (Navcams). Then it struck me what was wrong with this picture.

.

The image I was looking at was a mirror image to one that I had posted here, previously, at The Other Shoe. This sparked my interest, so I started reading the news story that was posted with this new image (of the Left front and center tires). See, previously I had only seen images that came from the Right Navcameras, not the left. So, as I was reading I discover that I was correct. For the first six months of the Mars-Curiosity mission only the right navcam had been used, but that changed back in the later part of March.

.

Explanation; Curiosity has TWO main computers. On the rover there is one ‘Right’ computer (the one being used as ‘Primary’ since prior to launch, and one ‘Left’ computer. This redundancy was established so that Curiosity has a ‘Back-Up’ computer. Brilliant! If something were to go wrong with the main computer, they could just fire up the other from the last back up. I do something similar (as do most computer geeks and businesses) here at home; only I do it with just one computer. Every two weeks I make a back up of my ‘System Drive’ or ‘C:’ drive. Along with ‘System Restore’ I have a quick and easy way to get my computer back up and running if something goes wrong.

.

Evidently the right computer, in Curiosity, was having some memory problems. Explained by NASA as a “memory glitch” on March 23, 2013 they moved all system functions and controls over from the right side computer over to the left side computer. This is why we had not seen pictures, before, from the left side Navcams. Everything is now running fine and this did resolve the memory glitch. Now, let me be clear, I am still catching up so I do not have the most recent update on this memory glitch problem. Curiosity needs to have both computers working to avoid ‘bricking’ Curiosity. If NASA cannot keep a clean back up of the main computer there could be a catastrophic failure that could end the mission.

.

Below is the image from the left side Navcam that spawned this article. I will be reading up more on this memory glitch problem and getting the information to you, My Dear Readers, just as quickly as I can. I appreciate your dropping by and sharing in this Martian Adventure.

ENJOY!

The Mars Report - The National Air and Space Museum Awards

Welcome back, My Dear Readers, to the very first 'The Mars Report' since my return to The Other Shoe. This was always one of my favorite articles to write, and share. Enjoy!


By coincidence, fate, destiny or just sheer luck I have returned to The Other Shoe and ‘The Mars Report’ just in time to share with you some very important news. The curiosity team (The Mars science laboratory project at JPL) has won the National Air and Space Museum lifetime achievement award for the landing of the Curiosity rover.

 .

        “The team in charge of successfully landing NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., received the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's highest group honor at a dinner in Washington on Wednesday night, April 24. The 2013 Trophy for Current Achievement honors outstanding achievements in the fields of aerospace science and technology. “

 .

This is a huge honor for Joseph Sutter and the team at NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory project. Now many of you will have never heard of Joseph Sutter, unless you are an aviation nut there would be no reason to know this man until now. However, while Sutter was working with Boeing, he led the project that (in record time) revolutionized air travel. The project was designing the world’s first wide-body “jumbo jet”, the Boeing 747 ‘Super Jumbo’. The Boeing 747 superliner was the very first aircraft of its type, and changed the airline industry. Mr. Sutter is now known as “The Father of the 747” and now the leader of the team that landed Curiosity safely on Mars.

Below is a short video (animation not real life) of that incredible landing on Mars.

.
Since this project lifted off from the launch pad in Florida I was convinced Curiosity would be winner. Now the National Air and Space Museum has validated my feelings. IMHO This is what is missing in modern America, a larger interest in science and space. Most of you, My Dear Readers, grew up around the same time as I. We grew up to; Red Stone, Gemini, and the culmination of a generation’s efforts the Apollo project. Our generation looked at the stars in the sky with hope. Hope for our country beating the U.S.S.R. at putting a man on the moon (they had beat us in the beginning with Sputnik). Some how, now, our nation is satisfied with only venturing into space via IMAX and ‘Real 3D’ while sitting comfortably in a movie theater.

.

What is the single biggest problem with that approach to human space exploration?  You cannot ride that theater seat into space, if a huge rock flying through space suddenly crashes into Earth. Sixty-Five million years ago the Dinosaurs were wiped from the face of the Earth by a rock flying through space and crashing into Earth.

.

I do not know about you, My Dear Reader, but I do not want the human race to be the brunt of some intergalactic joke that equates twenty-first century man to the dinosaur. How ironic would it be if mankind suffered the same fate as the dinosaurs? I am not laughing.

Thanks for dropping by, My Dear Readers. Have a great weekend and Enjoy!

First Dictated Posting

This is my very first article written with Dragon speech software. It has taken me the better part of three hours to get this program set up, updated, registered, and trained. This has left me and a great deal of pain. However, I wanted to post this simple article to explain how things are going with me and my new program.

My Dear Readers, I want you all to know how much I truly value you as my dear readers. You might not know this, but when I was running my campaign for my power chair, and communicating with all of you on a daily basis I was my most happy. I love to write. Almost as much as I love hearing what you have to say about what I write. The exchange we had, My Dear Readers, during that campaign brought vitality back to my life. Not since the beginning of my medical problems have I felt more alive, more productive, or more loved.

This October it will been 10 years that I have suffered with the worst of my disease. The highlight of those 10 years? Give three months we talked, and shared. I do not know if you can understand the isolation I feel, people with my condition feel, but at times it is terrifying. Not just the isolation from friends and family. But isolation from day-to-day contact with people.

I am hoping that this new tool, Dragon at NaturallySpeaking, will help me to feel less isolated again. I miss you all.

Enjoy!

A New Beginning

Today holds hope, for Danny, of a ‘New Beginning’. Today I received my copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking version 12 for my use to write. No, this post was not written with this new software. Hence, the brevity of this posting and there are no huge mistakes. Currently I am updating the software. I have already installed the software. Registered the software and created a profile at Nuance.

This has taken me the better part of three hours, no lie. Tomorrow I am hoping to post the first article written on this new software, hopefully. If not Friday, by the end of the weekend I will be posting an article written solely on this wonderful software.  I hope to see you here.

Thanks for reading!

See you, here, again soon!

NEWS UPDATE - Boston Marathon Bombing Gets BIG Break!

Shortly ago the FBI held a news conference about the Boston Marathon bombing. They have identified two suspects and have provided photographs for the public to use to assist in finding these suspects. I watched the news conference real time and would like to share the salient points with you, My Dear Readers.


First here is the situation;


“This morning the FBI, along with Boston PD, Massachusetts State Police, and ATF officially began its forensic evidence recovery effort at the site. Their goal was to recover physical items related to the blast. Those items have been recovered and sent to the FBI’s Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. “


Further;


“Among items partially recovered are pieces of black nylon—which could be from a backpack—and what appear to be fragments of BBs and nails possibly contained in a pressure cooker device. We are expediting this blast evidence to our Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia for a complete and thorough analysis.”


.


Therefore, these two suspects used two “pressure cooker” type bomb devices to execute this terrorist act. This is good solid information that should be used by local law enforcement and citizens. We now know what the suspects look like, and where they might have frequented prior to the bombing. Let’s move on;


.


“In addition, this morning, it was determined that both of the explosives were placed in a dark-colored nylon bag or backpack. The bag would have been heavy because of the components believed to be in it.”


.


Ok, this is good information too. “Dark-colored nylon back pack” If you look at the captioned pictures you will see the back packs clearly. This is quite helpful and all Americans should be informing themselves. What else?


.


“All across the nation, and around the world, the force of the United States is working hard to locate those responsible.


Already, the FBI has received more than 2,000 tips as of noon today, many of which have already been reviewed, analyzed, and vetted.


We will continue to work around the clock, tirelessly, side by side with our partners to continue to investigate and act on these leads.”


And finally;


“At this time, there are no claims of responsibility. The range of suspects and motives remains wide-open.


Importantly, the person who did this is someone’s friend, neighbor, coworker, or relative. We are asking anyone who may have heard someone speak about the marathon or the date of April 15 in any way that indicated he or she may target the event to call us. Someone knows who did this.


Cooperation from the community will play a crucial role is this investigation. We ask that businesses review and preserve surveillance video and other business records in their original form. And we are asking the public remain alert and to alert us to the following activity:


 An individual who expressed a desire to target the marathon;


 Suspicious interest in researching how to create explosive device;


 The noise of explosions in remote areas prior to yesterday which may have been used as tests by those responsible;


 Someone who appeared to be carrying an unusually heavy, dark-colored bag yesterday around the time of the blasts and in the vicinity of the blasts.


As further substantive details become available that are appropriate for release, then together we will either issue a release or hold a press conference.


Tomorrow, we plan to hold another press conference in the early afternoon.


Thank you very much, and I also want to thank the public for their tremendous support in this investigation.”


Let me share something that Special Agent in Charge Richard DesLauriers said in questioning after the statement.


WE are the BEST resource for finding these suspects. The American people are the best resource the F.B.I. has in it’s pursuit of these suspects and improving the likelihood of their capture. However, please consider these suspects armed and dangerous and should NOT be approached by anyone but law enforcement officers.


.
IF you see either of these suspects call (800) CALL FBI (or 1-800-255-5324) and report your information. If you are unable to do that, just dial 911 and they will get the information to the F.B.I.


.


I just cannot stress the importance of assisting our nation’s law enforcement in this matter. We all need to be observant; we all need to be diligent. If we all do that and report what we see we can capture and convict these suspects.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you for dropping by, My Dear Readers.

News From Daniel

Hello, My Dear Readers. It has been several months since I posted with any regularity, here @ The Other Shoe. First, let me tell you this is NOT because I have nothing to say or because there are no issues of governance that need my attention. Quite the opposite is true. However, circumstances beyond my control have plagued me.


.


I am not going to go into detail and explain all the 'scans' and 'examinations' I have endured these past three months. The 'Readers Digest' condensed version is; I am having real problems eating (one of the few things I have STILL been able to 'do' since 2003 when this adventure in pain and humiliation started) and I often choke on food... pudding even. Hence, my last exam (in THIS series) is an EGD. Yes, they are going to shove a camera down my throat to see just how badly my esophagus is being compressed. I have already been 'warned' that (most likely) there will be nothing that they can 'Do', to help.


.


However, they do need to track the progression of my disease and maybe there are things they can do to help me be able to eat. I truly hope so, I have few joys left in life and eating IS one my favorite right now.


.


"How 'bad' was it, Danny?" You may ask. Well prior to this problem starting (holidays last year) I weighed 182 lbs. right now today, I weigh 164. Yes, a twenty-five pound loss in just three months. If you choke eating, well you eat less and are less interested in eating. So, things are not all 'Doom & Gloom' here on the Left Coast, there is good news for Danny.


.


Other 'Good News' is that I have moved (with help from my caregiver) my laptop into a position that I can use it while I am sitting in bed. I have dug up an old wireless keyboard and mouse so that i can write. I still have substantial problems typing and it takes me hours to write an article of this size. I am still trying to save to purchase the 'Voice to Text' software (Dragon Speech Recognition Software) so that I can write easily and without pain.


.


However, I have been able to complete a good deal of work on the novel(s) I am planning. I have character sheets, scene listings, character profiles, and chapter outlines completed. Once I obtain the software I should be able to move quickly writing 'Princess Nadia and the Healing Light'. This is going to be a novel for 10-14 year olds that takes them on the adventures of 'Princess Nadia' (yes, named after my most loved little girl). From all the work I have completed, this promises to be my best work. I am hoping to have some excerpts from the novel posted here @ The Other Shoe by this summer. It is a very touching tale (rat... tale) and one that I have projected over three potential novels. As well, I am looking at this novel from a commercial point of view from the very beginning.


.


I thank you, my Dear Readers, for taking a moment with me. I appreciate all my readers and all my friends and family that read my work. I hope that (and with a good deal of work and sweat) I will get published and then all of you, My Dear Readers, will be able to say, "I was reading Daniel's works before his novels!"


Thank you for reading.

Explosions Rock Boston Marathon Finish Line

At 2:50PM Eastern time two explosions rocked the finish line at the Boston Marathon. As many as fifty people have been injured, two deaths are confirmed with "severe" injuries @ Mass. General hospital. There is no news as to the origin of the explosions and no groups or individuals have claimed responsibility. The Marathon headquarters has released a statement that "two bombs exploded".


.
That this was a bombing has not been confirmed, but the F.B.I. is headed to the site at this time. A.T.F. and F.B.I. are to release statements in time for tomorrow morning's news shows. There is speculation that news, here on the Left Coast, may have more information regarding this explosion. I should have more information of injuries and any deaths @ 6:30 PM PST. Check back then for more information.


.
Unknown is if it is related or not, there was a fire at the J.F.K. Library in Boston today, too. Check back often I will add information as it comes in.
Thank you.


1:47PM PST Authorities at the site are now stating; this WAS a criminal act NOT a "natural act" or accident, that there were THREE devices (one has been neutralized) and possibly FOUR explosive devices.


more to come


Post News conf. The THIRD explosive device was detonated at the JFK library. I thought that!


Update 4:20PM PST: The most recent numbers of injured are 100. Thankfully the number of dead/fatally injured remains at just two. There are conflicting reports regarding the fire @ the JFK Library. To the best of my ability to discern is that there was an explosion @ the library and it is thought it was the third bombing in Boston.. That is all for now, more as things change.


Thanks, again, for dropping by. Coming later this week will be a personal posting an 'Update on Dan'. Hope you check it out, and please 'Share'.

Sprint 4G LTE Arrives in Orange County

    Late last year I did a little something for myself, the exception not the rule. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy 3S from Sprint for Christmas. The phone is just fine and works well. However, since I turned it on I have never once connected @ 4G LTE. Yesterday, while I was getting my hair cut for my medical appointment tomorrow, I saw that my phone was connected '4G'. Be still my heart. By the the I got back home, it takes quite awhile in a wheelchair, the 4G was replaced by 3G. :(

    Today has been busy, I would never have thought it takes two weeks to get an appointment for a colonoscopy. I was trying to convince a medical receptionist that I had suffered enough and just wanted to make the appointment for this painful and humiliating procedure, when I noticed the call was connected via 4G LTE once again. I hung up on the receptionist, without an appointment... still I got on line with the phone and tested this alleged 4G LTE connection. Well the ping is still poor @ 135 still no playing multi-player games on cell phones... but the download was flirting with 10Mbps. This is definitely not 3G! Sprint's 4G LTE has arrived in Orange county California... finally.

So, if you are one of my readers here in the L.A. 'Pit' go and get your Samsung Galaxy 4G LTE and you will get your high speed connection Sprint has promised since last year.

ENJOY!

P.S. Yeah, I know I have been gone for quite awhile... I hope to be 'back' soon. dlh

The Death of the Tea Party

I started this blog, back in 2010, to “stand against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them…” I had faith in the America people and that faith has been rewarded. The Tea Party is dying on the vine. Sarah Palin is gone from fox and fox’s viewership is falling. President Obama’s approval is 60%, and the number of solid Blue states beat the number of solid Red states 20 to 12 in the 2012 election. All the signs are here and my love and faith in the American people has paid off. Well, sort of.

.

In September of last year (at the peak of the 2012 elections) I made a conscious decision. From July all the way to September I had worked hard to try not to alienate my friends and family, in the South, with my political views. I was working to raise money for a much needed ‘Power Chair’ and to move me from the ‘Extended Stay Motel’ I live in (with no elevator, or way to get my power chair downstairs) into a safer building that was ‘Wheelchair Friendly’. The building, I still live in, has had seven shootings in five years, three deaths, one riot, and drugs running in and out every day.

.

I sought to write and post and hoped to rally support for my cause, to move out of danger and into a safe home. However, the election was drawing close and the numbers for President Obama did not look good. I knew that if I kept quiet about my prophecies and President Obama lost, I would regret my decision for the rest of my life. In late September I broke with my policy of political silence and began posting and writing political works, again. My ‘Daniel’s Moving Assistance Fund’ failed, just as I had predicted, and I knew that my unpopular political views were the nail in the coffin.

.

Today I read the headlines and realize that my prophetic writings were correct, but that they cost me my opportunity to move. I still live, in fear, in the same motel. Being on the second floor, I have used my Power Chair all of five times since October 14, 2012.  I have no regrets, but it is difficult to know that I was correct in my writings but damaging to my safe future. We all make choices, and we all learn to live with them, and I will live with my choice.

.

After the campaigns were over, and the election done, I thought of running another campaign. One just to get me to a safe and disabled-friendly building. At that time I was given council that I should not do that under any circumstances, from what I thought was a good and long-term friend. Since then, this friend has unfriended  me on Facebook without so much as a warning or message. I have messaged him, texted him and tried to find out why he dropped me as a friend. To no avail. This hurts deeply. I have no idea what I said or did, and no way to find out. However, since he has ended our friendship I am now reconsidering starting a new campaign to raise the funds I need to move to safety.

.

First, I would like input, feedback, on this idea. Second, I am not physically capable of writing as much as I did late last year. This article, alone, has taken me two days to write and post. My caregiver is offering to help me purchase a ‘Speech to Text’program, so that I can write from my bed without needing my hands nearly as much to work. If that assistance materializes, I am hoping to start writing again. I miss everyone that comes and reads my work. I miss the socialization, I miss the support… I miss the love.

.

What do you  think?

Thank you for your kindness and support.

The Myth Of Hitler's Gun Ban

Whenever a politician, or anyone else, starts talking about regulating guns, it’s a safe bet that someone will bring up how Hitler supposedly outlawed guns in Germany, which supposedly enabled him to do all the mischief he did.  As we’ve noted before, Adolf is a staple reference among propagandists. It’s become an automatic response to compare anyone you don’t like to Der Fuhrer, on the grounds that since he was evil incarnate, everything he ever said or did must also be evil. People have even been known to suggest that since he was a vegetarian, vegetarians are evil. It’s not surprising, then, that you often see this quote pop up:

“This year will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!”  –Adolf Hitler, 1935


Trouble is, Hitler never made such a speech in 1935. ..."
