I was just watching Star Trek: Enterprise episode 14 “Sleeping Dogs.”
At about the 19m40s mark, Malcolm (Dominic Keating) is talking with T’Pol (Jolene Blalock) and Hoshi (Linda Park) about the propulsion system on the Klingon Raptor Somraw. When he says they’re dead in the water, you’ll notice a curious thing—His voice becomes that of Commander Charles Tucker (Connor Trinneer). That was so weird! I loved it!
I had to laugh; I just couldn’t believe that I’ve never noticed that before.
How long has it been since the Enterprise series ended? Almost five years? Wow, and those guys are still amazing us.
I attempted to include a link to their individual websites, but was unable to find one for Connor Trinneer.
Best wishes guys.
Here’s an interesting animal question to end a snowy Saturday:
What does a cat, a German Shepherd, and a Newfoundland have in common? They’re all one big happy family!
How it came about I do not know, but one evening, my brother-in-law went to feed his two dogs and discovered that a stray cat had moved in. It’s the strangest thing; you would have thought those two dogs would have made a cat-fur rug out of that cat, but no. It has been several months now and that cat still lives there…and eats out of the dogs food bowl.
Go figure.
Oh yeah, I just had to watch that ABC report detailing the abuse of dairy cows.
Yeah, I just had to visit the Mercy for Animals website.
I did all that this morning, then sat down to a bowl of Kellogg’s chocolate Little Bites. Man, I felt sick to the stomach. There’s just no sense abusing animals like those guys were doing; no sense at all.
I’ve always loved milk, loved downing a tall glass of it, but now, I just don’t know….
The snow is really coming down now in Raleigh-Durham, laying a fine gown of white upon the landscape.
Come morning, I think we’ll have a LOT of snow…
Finnish accident investigators say the guidance system on an F-18D Hornet malfunctioned prior to a crash in Finland last Thursday.
Apparently, the F-18D’s guidance system switched to a mechanical backup during a maneuver that requires computer assistance.
Boeing says the F-18D carries two crewmen, a pilot and a weapons/sensor officer (WSO). The aircraft is powered by two F404-GE-402 engines with 18,000 pounds of thrust each, that can push it to Mach 1.8.
The two pilots were able to eject before the F-18D crashed.
Actor Scott Baio posted a photograph of First Lady Michelle Obama recently that earned him a death threat.
After posting the photograph, a twitter user issued these threats:
a GRAND WIZARD like YOU Scott Baio should be PUT DOWN and someone will PUT YOU DOWN.YOU;your WIFE and KID
easy to find your house Scottie boy and finish YOU. I am a republican and I love Mrs O.
Baio is working with the FBI to determine who issued the death threat.
Haiti has just been rocked by a strong earthquake registering magnitude 6.1.

The earthquake was situated at 18.428°N, 72.875°W which is near the city of Petit Goave.
CNN reports that “Patients at a hospital near Haiti’s airport in Port-au-Prince immediately started praying as the ground shook like a ship rocking back and forth. They asked for forgiveness and protection, a nurse said.”
Why don’t we also join these believers in prayer now? Father, grant forgiveness, protection, love, and healing to your people gathered in Haiti and also for those that don’t believe or have faith in you. Bless them Father. In the strong and mighty name of Jesus we pray amen.
Wow, what a heartcry to God from Haiti this morning. Forgiveness isn’t something only needed in Haiti. It is needed in America and from nations around the world. From those that have had almost everything taken away, come the words of praise.
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. Psalm 71:12
IKF’s Wonderfund joyfully reports this morning that Marlie Casseus and her family survived the devastating earthquake.
Another of Wonderfund’s kids, Dahana David, also survived as well as a “beloved” volunteer—Gina Eugene.
In an effort to help suffering Haitians, Wonderfund has launched Haiti’s Children Fund. It is collecting donations via their website: www.wonderfund.org/donate.php
It says the donations will be used to provide “life-saving medical care to Haitian children that must receive care in the U.S.”
Great news this morning; thank the Lord!
Yellowstone National Park is in the midst of an earthquake swarm that began Sunday night. A USGS researcher says the swarms are normal.
Yellowstone sits atop an active super-volcano. A full-scale eruption would be devastating for the United States and the world. Discovery Channel has a nice interactive site about it.
I’ve been watching earthquake alerts and Yellowstone has had magnitude 2’s and 3’s coming in all day.
There is growing anxiety in the World community over Washington’s takeover in Haiti.
Flights ferrying disaster supplies are being diverted as American forces are given priority at Port-au-Prince’s airport. Tensions have apparently grown so tense that Haitian President René Préval has had to get involved in an attempt to cool tempers.
Wow. What a mess.
