A female Northern Cardinal perches in a Ti plant in Captain Cook, on the Big Island of Hawaii
These cardinals keep loitering around the garden area outside my office door all morning. Haven’t got a decent shot of the red cardinal yet, but I did get a few good pictures of his partner. The cardinals here on the Big Island of Hawaii are pretty much the same Northern Cardinal you would find anywhere else in the United States, or so it seems. And, as always, you can see the female northern cardinal lacks the vivid red color of her male counterpart.

The Northern Cardinal is one of three birds in the genus Cardinalis and is included in the family Cardinalidae.The common name, as well as the scientific name, of the Northern Cardinal refers to the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, who wear distinctive red robes and caps. The term “Northern” in the common name refers to its range, as it is the northernmost cardinal species.

Well, we like to think of it as creative, but perhaps we are a little biased. Either way, the Resonance Project Foundation’s website has been undergoing a major overhaul in recent months, and has finally been launched after weeks of anticipation.
Director of Research Nassim Haramein and scientists at the Resonance Project Foundation claim to have found a new solution to Einstein’s field equations which incorporates torque and Coriolis effects. Haramein’s calculations are said to describe the collective and coherent behavior of the plasma dynamics of ergospheres orbiting the event horizons of black holes demanding a highly structured polarized vacuum …. resulting in an alternative view of black holes where the exterior white hole portion surrounds the interior black hole singularity.
From the scaling law, Haramein is said to have determined that the proton is better modeled as a mini-black hole, as presented in his critically-acclaimed paper “The Schwarzschild Proton.”
Haramein released a DVD entitled “Black Whole“, a 90-minute documentary that recently aired on the Discovery Channel.
In some circles, Nassim Haramein is thought of as a modern day Einstein. Is that true? We don’t really know. We just handle the computers, and try to keep quiet when we’re on a Skype conference call with Nassim and Michael Hyson, and they get into a heated debate over some strange math equation resulting in a fraction of a fraction of a decimal … or something like that. “so, ummm …. what were you saying about the email server?”

Gecko sitting on my computer, trying to push a new rate quote my way
Auto insurance giant Geico obviously has an extremely strong hold throughout the Big Island of Hawaii. Geico, whose spokesman happens to be a gecko, has infested the Big Island with millions upon millions of green spotted day geckos, each waiting to sell you car insurance every time you turn around.
I go to the coffee pot, there’s a gecko waiting with a new rate quote. I’ve told these guys a million times that I already have Geico insurance, but it seems to do little good. There’s running all over the counter, drinking my POG, sitting atop my computer, my TV, my ceilings … basically just invading my life.
What’s next? Are ducks going to be raiding my shower next year?
Seems that the first Saturday in May crept up on me in 2010. In fact, I had no idea it was even May until the race was over … must be the first Kentucky Derby I haven’t bet on in 7 years at least … Guess that’s the price to pay for living on an island.
Anyway, as a tribute to this year’s racing season, I wanted to turn back the clock to 2008 …
* * *
So there it was the first Saturday in May and we needed to find the closest off-track betting parlor. Of course, the Space Coast doesn’t have its own horse track, so I was forced to settle for the next best thing…the Melbourne Dog Track.
It was a strange way to witness the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby. And although I hadn’t followed the horses for some time, well, as a gambler, it was only appropriate that I take the proper actions to ensure I got a bet down on somebody, for better or worse. Besides, with horse racing as with many other things, the less you know can be better….this way I could go in with a clear head. I didn’t have all that pre-race gibberish clouding my mind, distorting my judgments… (more…)
