What's a second worth? It's knowing one's values are absolutely correct. A second of time is huge. Back in the day before government propaganda was not the expertise of CNN and Aaron Brown was there, the truth took on seconds of time that mattered. Everyone have a Happier and more Truthful New Year.
How far does one walk in a second?
... run in a second?
How many financial transactions last but only a second but it's effects are felt a lifetime?
What is a second?
A little more than one heart beat.
A sigh.
A thought.
A decision.
Being missed by a bullet in battle.
Being the woman of some man's dreams.
What defines a second in time?
Precision.
Exactness.
Quantity.
Not quality.
Rigorousness.
Veracity.
Thinking it through for that extra second. To be sure. Confident, is a very veracious quality.
A percise second is 'the truth.'
It is not vagueness.
It is not guesswork.
It is not approximation or falisy.
An extra second of time is putting a person in a different place and time than a lack of it.
An extra second of time is "The Truth."
Where it gets lost again is in highly impercise politics that lies, cheats and manipulates the perciseness of life.
It's Saturday Night.
By HUGO KUGIYAAssociated PressIf life is often a matter of split seconds, the universe is about to bestow upon us a generous gift: the leap second.On Saturday, at exactly 6 p.m., one second will be added to our official record of time - Coordinated Universal Time.The Earth is slowing down. And because time is a function of planetary movement, our days are getting longer and, depending on how you look at it, time is slowing down. This discrepancy is something we have become able to measure only since 1958.When a 24-hour day, as measured by the world's atomic clocks, becomes more than nine-tenths of a second shorter than a solar day, those in charge add the leap second.Eventually the 24-hour day as we know it will become a few minutes longer, although it will take millions of years. After hundreds of millions of years, the day will grow an hour longer. The rotation of the Earth and its orbital path around the sun (which is engaged in a perpetual gravitational tug of war with Jupiter) are inconsistent and always vary slightly.These cosmic forces matter little in the lifetime of any single person until, eventually, a day in the life gains one second.Most of us will not pause to notice the extra second. But our machines will. Our computers, and mobile phones, and global positioning devices, will all rest for one second at the appointed time as they calibrate to Coordinated Universal Time.The official timekeeping devices of communication companies the world over, television stations, newspapers, indeed The Associated Press, also will hold their electronic breaths for one second. Perfect time is critical to our technological infrastructure, some of which operates at the speed of light. Measured this way, one second represents two-thirds the distance between the earth and moon.For the average person, observing the leap second requires focus and effort. Most cannot feel the extra second of sleep to which we will be entitled. But for those wishing to witness the event, the process is relatively simple and requires a stop watch and a common cell phone with a time display.At the precise moment the display reads 5:59 p.m., start the stopwatch. When the display changes to 6:00, stop the watch. It should read 61 seconds.There. Your extra second will have been spent.
It's Saturday Night.
Time stops for no one and moves on unaware
It's easy not to notice
It's easy not to care
Conversation circles
There's money changing hands
I've been standing in the middle
I've been caught up in the spin
But out of the confusion
The static and the noise you got my attention
And made me wanna live
Live like it's the last moon rising
Scream just like no one's
Lose all of my defenses
Hold you touch you love, you like it's
A very last moment in time
It seems like I woke up beneath a different sky
And I'm drunk on what I'm seeing through these open eyes
All the little ways you move me
All the places you expose
The illusion I held on to
You've got me letting go
I just wanna stay here soaking up the rain
Falling all around me wash the world away
Live like it's the last moon rising
Scream just like no one's there
Lose all of my defenses
Hold you touch you love, you like it's
A very last moment in time
Let me feel you next to me
Let me taste the breath you breathe
Open up the space between us
Live like it's the last moon rising
Scream just like no one's there
Lose all of my defenses
Hold you touch you love, you like it's
A very last moment in time
December 31,2005. Madison, California. Photographer states :: The muddy water in the background is over spill from a rather large Ditch, unfortunately there is a freshly planted alfalfa field under that water. All the rain this far we woke to just a little over 2 feet of water in the bacement this morning, but, it's under control for now. What a way to bring in 2006! HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!! There comes a time in a campaign of intelligence when one has to ask: Are they 'getting it?' Does it matter? Are they aware? Are they taking action? Can I ask them to survive or just exist? Can this campaign of intelligence ever take the hope that is intended? Does what I do matter? Can it make a difference? Can it save lives and property? Will we over come an indifferent government? Will we overcome the forces of nature more powerful than any government could be? The tsunami, Katrina, the current storm in the Atlantic. Don't they bring their own message that challenges the very sovereignty a nation requires to govern? I lose heart no different than anyone else and then a voice comes across the internet that tells me we are doing all we can and keeping the faith. That one voice. That one life makes it a mission worth pursuing. This voice spoke to me tonight in a way that says, I understand more than I have, I see hope where ususally there is none, I have control of my safety and we will continue in a campaign of intelligence and action that does matter. The West Coast of the USA is taking a beating. The pictures that will post here will not be believed. But, first a New Year's Eve and a renewed promise to continue when no other cares to. I'll be back at 8:30. Thank you for your love.We'll win this. We persist. 'til then.
