Memorable quotes for
The Simpsons Movie (2007)
Chief Wiggum: [sees Fat Tony and his mobsters dragging a body wrapped in a sheet to the lake] Uh sorry, sorry, no dumping in the lake!
Fat Tony: Fine, I will put my *yard trimmings* in a car compactor.
[he and the mobsters walk off with the body]
Lou: Uh, Chief, I think there was a dead body in there.
Chief Wiggum: I thought that too, until he said yard trimmings. You gotta learn to listen, Lou.

So since I have the senior rank all the Microsoft-Corbis-Al Qaeda alliance really has to do is to create the perception that I was provoked into retaliation and that I used nuclear weapons that were under my control to retaliate against these pirates that are letting me know every day that they are stalking me and that there is nothing I can do it. The need to create the perception of futility in terms of how they are stealing my identity and disrupting my life and that there is nothing I can do about it. That reinforces the notion they are waiting until I resume my secret identity and announce in public that I have assumed my role as Fleet Admiral of the U.S. Navy and as senior ranking officer of the U.S. federal government.
The pirates of my secret identity, which has tremendous commercial value, will just keep letting me know and keep making it public yet out of direct view that they are following me and disrupting my life regardless of who I say I am and that would be enough to create the perception that I was provoked into retaliating against them.
These clowns such as Robert Gates and Mullen and Roughead will just sit back and say they knew it was going to happen so they were not going to follow any of the orders I have been giving as I try to stop it all.
That is the reason for the invasion dates of Iraq in 2003 and why it was designed from the start to be the ongoing fiasco that it has been from the start and with no end in sight and with no purpose other than to get Americans killed and to train and refine the combat skills of Al Qaeda.
They were trying to steal my credibility. If I objected, then their plans to steal nuclear weapons and then use them to destroy at least 1 American city would have also pointed at me.
That line of thought follows that I would be in the city they destroy with nuclear weapons because they want to frame me for the attack so they can pirate my secret identity which has tremendous commercial value. I guess that is why they have been waiting for me to go home. So they can get me and my legal team perhaps. They need to eliminate the people who really understand the full details of my business in order to fully gain control by theft of my secret identity.
But maybe I will not be in that city when they strike with nuclear weapons. They might be worried that I have some kind of contingency plan for that and that I have had a lot of time over the decades to consider all the possible courses of action they could take to try to gain control of my secret identity by theft of my secret identity.

Image Enhancement
Bruce Upbin, 03.01.04
Who owns the right to put a famous photo on a Web site? Chances are it's a famous rich guy named Bill Gates
Bill Gates' grand scheme to license the world's art masterpieces and have them flash onto wall monitors in people's living rooms fizzled. But it looks as if he's going to make a pretty penny selling images after all--mostly images used by publishers and advertisers.
In November one of the world's biggest banks kicked off a major ad campaign in Asia, touting its ability to work closely with its richest clients. It wanted photos of famous partners in exploration:the Apollo 11 crew of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, and Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay. So it turned to Corbis Inc., the world's second-largest image-licensing company, wholly owned by Gates.
Corbis had photos of these notables, which the bank could license for $18,000, but there was a hitch negotiating the celebrities' publicity rights:Armstrong was asking so much extra that the photography cost of the campaign would have been an astronomical $1.5 million. The client was ready to walk away, but Corbis' crafty rights negotiators suggested cropping out Armstrong altogether. That helped knock down the publicity rights fees to $185,000. Done.
Few people outside the photo world know Corbis as anything more than a hobby or an artsy sideline for the world's richest man. The Seattle-based firm first gained attention in the mid-1990s when Gates began spending some $200 million securing digital rights to license images. Some were masterpieces ("Mona Lisa," "Whistler's Mother"). But he also procured images with a more commercial appeal when he acquired the libraries and freelance contracts of 11 photo agencies, as well as the renowned Bettmann Archive, a collection of historical photos frequently used by book and magazine publishers. Corbis owns some of the most indelible images ever captured: Wilbur watching Orville's first takeoff. Einstein sticking out his tongue. Harry Truman's triumphant grin as he hoists the "Dewey Beats Truman" edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Finally, after 14 years of losing money, Corbis is getting down to business. It has replaced half its managers with veterans of advertising and publishing, patched up relationships with disaffected photographers and broken new ground with deals to license such things as photos and movie clips to mobile-telephone customers. "We're moving beyond aggregating photos and taking more positions in the food chain," says Steve B. Davis, chief executive of Corbis. "We're focusing on being more than just an online photo vending machine."
Last year, despite the weak advertising industry, Corbis' revenue grew 20% to $140 million. Davis predicts another 20% revenue jump this year, enough to "approach profitability."
Both Gates and Davis deny any imminent plans for an initial offering, but in September Corbis raided newspaper publisher Knight Ridder to get Susan McDonald as chief financial officer. "My goal is to get us ready for diversifying the shareholder base if we need to," she says.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_loan
Savings and loan association
A savings and loan association, also known as a thrift, is a financial institution that specializes in accepting savings deposits and making mortgage loans. The term is mainly used in the United States; similar institutions in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries are called building societies. They are often mutually held (often called mutual savings banks), meaning that the depositors and borrowers are members with voting rights and have the ability to direct the financial and managerial goals of the organization.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_union
Credit union
A credit union is a cooperative financial institution that is privately owned and controlled by its members, and operated for the purpose of promoting thrift, providing credit at reasonable rates, and providing other financial services to its members. Many credit unions exist to further community development or sustainable international development on a local level. Worldwide, credit union systems vary significantly in terms of total system assets and average institution asset size[4] since credit unions exist in a wide range of sizes, ranging from volunteer operations with a handful of members to institutions with several billion dollars in assets and hundreds of thousands of members.

Gremlins
Release date(s) June 8, 1984
Gremlins is a darkly comic American horror movie directed by Joe Dante and released in 1984 by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is about a young man who receives a strange creature named Gizmo as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive monsters. This story was continued with a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, released in 1990. Unlike the lighter sequel, the original Gremlins opts for more black comedy, which is balanced against a Christmas-time setting.
Billy is a young man who has taken up a job at the bank to make ends meet for his parents, with whom he still lives. He has a dog called Barney whose mischievousness makes both him and Billy the target of harassment from Ruby Deagle, an elderly woman with much financial influence. Billy's coworker and love interest Kate Beringer is also a local bartender

Every time I look at this photo of the Saturn moon Phoebe I always tend to linger on that location marked Euphemus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Phoebe_2005_Mercator_PIA07795.jpg
Image:Phoebe 2005 Mercator PIA07795.jpg
I am not certain if that is where I landed or if it is just an area of high interest to me.
As I was waking up a few minutes ago, my waking or half-sleeping mind was pondering the landing cycle I made on 6/7/1976 and I was thinking of such details as the burn I made in my landing craft after I separated from the Orion ship. The Orion ship proceeded for some kind of orbital rendevous with the planet Saturn and I broke away from the intertia of the Orion ship so I could plunge into the gravity of the moon Phoebe. I made a long burn about 1 hour before landing and then I rotated around to view the approach and then made some minor thruster burns before the final approach. The sunrise cycle on the moon Phoebe is about 9 hours and I landed about 6 hours before the next sunrise. I took a nap on a special kind of couch I had in that landing craft and then I woke up about 3 hours later and began suiting up for EVA which was more difficult because my right arm was still barely usable. I awoke today thinking I was in very good spirits though. I went outside to watch the sunrise and to survey the terrain and I had a camera set to first capture my egress to the surface for the first time and then to record me watching the sunrise. I spoke to myself about how I had been anticipating that moment watching the sun rise over the horizon of the Saturn moon Phoebe back in November 1975 as Phoebe and I watched the sun rise that morning before I left Earth. I also commented to the camera that the surface of the Saturn moon Phoebe was probably the spookiest place I had ever been and I had been to 3 other spooky places before in my life.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 08/19/08 4:16 AM
I was also thinking as I was waking up a few minutes ago about the rock samples I was collecting from the Saturn moon Phoebe and about the drilling equipment I was operating to obtain rock samples from below the surface. I was then thinking of my checklists for monitoring the motion of the Orion ship and there was time when I was completely out of communication with the Orion ship. All my communications with Earth were relayed by the Orion ship so for that period of about 1 day I was completely out of contact with Earth. The time delay for two-way communication at that distance from Earth when I did have communication with Earth was at least 4 hours.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 08/19/08 4:32 AM
The primary objective for my landing on the Saturn moon Phoebe in the month before my scheduled rendevous with Comet Lucifer was to determine the physical effect on my body after so many months in zero gravity. If I could not complete the task of landing my shuttle craft, or trans-comet bomber, or what ever I called it, on the moon, then there was not much point of trying to navigate into the comet. The backup plan was for me, or for Earth via remote and computer-programmed control, to send the Orion ship directly into the comet and then blow up the ship next to the comet. That was always a plan in itself but the reason for me going to deliver the bombs to the comet surface was because I had determined, as confirmed by other scientists, that the diversion would require multiple bombs in equidistant points on the comet surface. A single large blow to the comet would not be enough to divert the comet from hitting the Earth. At least not in terms of the power of the ordnance available to us. If we could have made nuclear bombs that were much larger in yield then a single blow would have stopped it but even with the four 25 megaton bombs I used, I could have needed a force beyond anything I could have transported into space or that the military could have produced.
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 08/19/08 4:41 AM
I also awoke thinking about how I was having problems with my eyesight as I entered the gravity of the Saturn moon Phoebe and that was a lingering effect of so many months I had lived in zero gravity. The landing on the Saturn moon Pheobe helped me to re-adjust to gravity under conditions I would probably experience on the comet and I needed the adjustment before I began my activities beginning 7/2/1976 to divert Comet Lucifer.

Not sure about this dream from when I finally got back to sleep this morning. I wanted to stay awake to watch the morning news but I was feeling the urge to watch my favorite anchorperson. If I watch her, I am going to talk and who knows how many sociopaths out there are listening to all this. How can this continue??? In this latest dream, there is a recurring theme, lately it always seems to involve sand. Today I was driving a pickup along a road on a sandy hill. I was trying to stop to talk to someone that was walking along. But then I was traveling backwards, down the hill I think. I put on the brakes but I still keep traveling down the hill and away from the person I wanted to talk to. Then I put the transmission in Drive and pressed the accelerator, but all the wheels did was spin and I kept moving fast backwards, I felt frustrated. I eventually stopped and the person I wanted to talk to caught up with me but I don't remember anything after that. There was some other stuff going on, possibly it was dream manipulation to respond to my metaphor about being in an H-bomb experiment. But the recurring theme has something to do with traveling backwards and not being able to stop where I want to. It actually reminds me of controlling a ship, in that it takes time and space to stop one.

In that dream a few hours ago that I noted and that I noted I had forgot the part after hitting the rocks; it was the stop light. At some point after the rocks, I was then traveling down a highway, and while I cannot visualize that I was still at the helm of an aircraft carrier instead of driving a car on the highway, I feel as though the dream involved me at the helm of the aircraft carrier. So I was driving down the highway and I saw a light turn red and I looked down and I saw my foot pressing down on the brake but I knew I was not going to stop in time. There were other details during that part that I do not remember too well now.

A retrorocket (short for retrograde rocket) is a rocket engine used to provide thrust opposing the motion of a spacecraft, thereby causing it to decelerate.
Use in the Apollo program
The Apollo program did not require retrorockets for lunar flights, as the flight from the moon was directed to fly the spacecraft directly back to earth, and not enter orbit. However, the flights in earth orbit for tests required retrorockets, so the large, versatile Service Propulsion Module on the Service Module was used to decelerate the spacecraft. The Space Shuttle would use a similar multipurpose engine for reentry.
Use in the Space Shuttle program
The Space Shuttle Orbital maneuvering system provides the vehicle with a pair of powerful liquid fueled rockets for both reentry and orbital maneuvering. One is sufficient for a successful reentry, and if both systems should fail, the Reaction control system can slow the vehicle enough for reentry.
Use in landers
Retrorockets are also used in landing spacecraft on other astronomical bodies, such as the Moon and Mars, as well as enabling a spacecraft to enter an orbit encircling such a body, when otherwise it would scoot past and off into space again. As pointed out above (in connection with Project Apollo) the main rocket on a spacecraft can be re-oriented to serve as a retrorocket.

Apollo Lunar Module
The Apollo Lunar Module was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for the US Apollo program by Grumman to achieve the transit from cislunar orbit to the surface and back. The module was also known as the LM from the manufacturer designation (often pronounced "lem," from NASA's early name for it, Lunar Excursion Module).
The module was designed to carry a crew of two and rested on four landing legs. It consisted of two stages—the descent stage module and the ascent stage.
The Apollo Lunar Module came into being because NASA chose to reach the moon via lunar orbit rendezvous (LOR) instead of by direct ascent or Earth orbit rendezvous (EOR). Both direct ascent and EOR would have involved the entire Apollo spacecraft landing on the moon; once the decision had been made to proceed using LOR, it became necessary to produce a separate craft capable of reaching the lunar surface.

The module was also known as the LM from the manufacturer designation (often pronounced "lem," from NASA's early name for it, Lunar Excursion Module).
The first LM flight was on January 22, 1968 when the unmanned LM-1 was launched atop a Saturn IB for testing of propulsion systems in orbit. The next LM flight was aboard Apollo 9 using LM-3 on March 3, 1969 as the first manned test flight (crew McDivitt, Scott and Schweickart) to test a number of systems in Earth orbit including LM and CSM crew transit, LM propulsion, separation and docking.

Apollo 10, launched on May 18, 1969, was another series of tests, this time in lunar orbit with the LM separating and descending to within 10 km of the surface. From the successful tests the LM successfully descended and ascended from the lunar surface with Apollo 11.

Lunar Module LM-4
callsign Snoopy
Launch date May 18, 1969
Time in lunar orbit 2 d 13 h 37 m 23 s
Landing May 26, 1969
Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the Apollo program. The mission included the second crew to orbit the Moon, and the test of the lunar module in lunar orbit. The module came to within 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km) of the lunar surface during practice maneuvers. According to the 2001 Guinness World Records Apollo 10 has the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle: 39,897 km/h (11.08 km/s or 24,791 mph). The speed record was set during the return from the Moon on 26 May 1969.
While not included in the official mission logo, due to the use of their names as callsigns, the Peanuts characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy became semi-official mascots for the mission. Peanuts creator Charles Schulz also drew some special mission-related artwork for NASA.
On May 22, 1969 at 20:35:02 UTC, a 27.4 second LM descent propulsion system burn inserted the LM into a descent orbit of 112.8 km by 15.7 km so that the resulting lowest point in the orbit occurred about 15° from lunar landing site 2 (the Apollo 11 landing site). The lowest measured point in the trajectory was 15.6 km above the lunar surface at 21:29:43 UTC.

USS Princeton (CV-37)
The fifth USS Princeton (CV-37) (also CVA-37, CVS-37, LPH-5) was a United States Navy Essex-class aircraft carrier (later refit into a Boxer-class amphibious assault ship LPH).
In December, she returned to the United States and in April 1969 she was designated the prime recovery ship for Apollo 10, the lunar mission which paved the way for Apollo 11 and the first landing on the Moon.

History
History is the study of the past, particularly the written record of the human race, but more generally including scientific and archaeological discoveries about the past.
All events that are remembered and preserved in some form (that cannot be invalidated as unhistorical or that otherwise remain amenable to historical discourse) constitute the historical record. The self-assigned task of historical discourse is to identify the sources which can contribute to the production of truthful accounts of past. Thus, the constitution of the historian's archive is a result of circumscribing a more general archive by invalidating the usage of certain texts and documents (by falsifying their claims to represent the 'true past').
