You call that an apology?
The Cynical-Cat weighs in on an earlier post.
And I swear, this is the last of cat blogging. Not kidding this time. Seriously!

View From a Satellite

To view the Earth as currently seen from a satellite in Earth orbit, choose the satellite from the list below and press the “View Earth from Satellite” button. The satellite database is updated regularly but may not reflect the current position of satellites, such as the U.S. Space Shuttle, which maneuver frequently after reaching orbit.
And if you want to see which satellite will be passing over your skies at any moment, you can always use Heavens Above.

Teens operate on dead cat, saving kittens

From CBC News:
Two teenagers performed a caesarean section on a dead cat they found along a New Brunswick road, saving two of four kittens.
They told a French-language newspaper, the Acadie Nouvelle, that they recognized the cat and knew it was pregnant.
After discovering that the cat’s body was still warm, they decided to try to save its kittens – even though neither of them knew how to do a caesarean section or had studied biology.
Kim borrowed a sweater, knife and some cotton swabs from a nearby house.
They decided Monica would do the surgery. She told the newspaper she wasn’t sure where to cut, but made an incision into the mother cat’s belly and could see the kittens.
She pulled them out and found that two of four kittens were still alive, so she cut their umbilical cords and wiped the mucus from their noses.

A California company has developed a cat collar that glows whenever the cat purrs.
The Sound Guy, Inc., of Seaside, California, has developed the Purr Detector lighted cat collar. In addition to providing family fun, the Purr Detector can also flash when the cat is outside at night, for improved safety and visibility.

Jessica Simpson has a plan:
LONDON: Dukes of Hazzard star Jessica Simpson says she wants to do missionary work in a bid to save the world.
The actress also wants to visit Third World countries with hubby Nick Lachey and adopt children from that region.
“We’d still like to do some mission work, visit Third World countries – I have this whole plan to save the world,” Fox News quoted Jessica as telling OK! magazine in an interview.
I don’t know about you but I feel much better now.

Space Mission Patches

This site covers the patches for all US manned missions prior to the Space Shuttle. It does not cover Shuttle mission or ISS expedition patches (though a reference section that provides images of these patches is available via the “later patches” link at the top of each page); nor patches for Soviet missions or unmanned missions. Some of the “unofficial” patches created during this era are treated.

Blog Etiquette

Can someone please tell this blogger that copying one of my posts word for word and then reposting them on her blog without so much as a link back to me is very bad form. Here is my post on Skinny Water and here is hers(you have to scroll down to August 10th since her site doesn’t have permalinks).
I wouldn’t have even made a post about this except after I left a comment on her site about it she responded with this:
First off, it’s not angelina- it’s Tressa. 2nd, your post is all off the skinnywater.com website word for word so what if mine says the same thing because it’s all there anyway! shessh.
Anything I get off of a website is in a little grey box and my comments are not. I thought this was fairly obvious. I am peeved because it is obvious she just cut and pasted the entire post, including my comments and passed it off as her own. Is it that difficult to come up with your own comment about a post?

Sheesh.
Bumvertising™, or the use of sign holding vagrants to advertise, is a development of PokerFaceBook.com’s most recent advertising campaign. Homeless men are able to provide a valuable and tangible service to a company, while receiving an additional revenue stream in combination with their normal donations from begging.
ABC News has an article about Bumvertising here.
