Sitting in the courtyard watching hubby barbecue. I always find it fascinating to think men think they are better at barbecueing food but run and hide under the bed if it's suggested they cook dinner in the kitchen.

I do both, even bake too...use to cook a lot of Chinese and Japanese food...but Mrs Wu got mad because, as she but it, I needed to many special things....so I stopped.... now I only cook when she is away in China..... but I do not even own a outdoor grill these days and I would not be barbecuing if I did.... except for vegetables and possibly chicken

Had another river side picnic breakfast this morning. Watch a dog playing in the water while it's slave stood on the bank and threw a ball up current. Clever dog continued to splash about while the ball was carried by the current into the dogs mouth...

The dog then swam to the bank and droped the ball for the skave to have fun throwing it again.

After a few cycles the dog obviously had had enough, swam to the bank. Climbed out, stood next to its slave and shook itself vigorously.

This is not the first time ive seen a dog divest itself of much river with the intention of soaking its slave. So can i ask any dogs attending this thread... Why is it so important to give water in such a fashion?

A rookie police officer in Glasgow, Scotland, was recently embarrassed to discover that the “drone” she thought was pursuing her on her way to a shopping center was actually just the planet Jupiter. Local news outlets report that the embarrassing mix-up has become the talk of her station.

The Daily Record reported Saturday that the officer left her station around midnight Tuesday when she first saw the bright light she believed to be a drone. She attempted to “lose the drone” on her way to a local shopping center; however, she failed. Afraid, she eventually called the general complaints number for Police Scotland to report that she was being followed by a drone and “couldn’t lose it.”

The operator working the complaints line told the officer to return to her station where she could meet with a senior officer. So, she did as she was told.

According to police via Daily Record, when she arrived at her station, “she was found standing in the police yard with her hood up trying to hide from the ‘drone’ and pointed out the bright white dot in the sky.” When the senior officer looked up at the light, they realized that the drone she’d been afraid of was actually just Jupiter.

EarthSky claims that Jupiter and Saturn are “nearly at their most glorious this month.” This is because the planets will both reach opposition in August.

Sky at Night Magazine reports that Jupiter will reach opposition on August 19. “Opposition,” the magazine explains, “describes when a planet or other body is in the opposite part of the sky to the Sun.” During this time, a planet is at its closest to Earth, making it appear much larger and much brighter than usual.

As Jupiter makes its way toward opposition, those in the Northern Hemisphere can see it clearly from evening until dawn, as this officer did in Glasgow.

According to the Daily Record, the officer’s mistake is the “talk” of the station. “Nobody can quite believe it,” an anonymous police source told the outlet. “She was very alarmed and spooked that she was being followed by a drone.”

The source continued to say that the officer was “embarrassed” when it was explained to her that the “drone” was simply a planet. Apparently, those at her station are “concerned.”

“This is going to haunt her for years,” they said.

I guess it's a mistake that could happen to anyone.

Especially the Scottish...

It's kind of funny though.

Tom Wood, a retired deputy chief constable of the former Lothian and Borders Police, said the story reminded him of a similar incident years ago.

He said: “A young officer discovered an old vase wrapped in a rag and reported it as being a Ming dynasty vase, which is worth thousands. It wasn’t, of course, and from that day on he was known as ‘Ming’.

“This young lady will probably find herself with a nickname for the rest of her career. The story will be told in years to come. The real test is how she handles it.”

At least she wasn't followed by Uranus.
Hmmm....I bet that one actually did accompany her.

Olympics ceremony uses music from Japanese video games (apnews.com)

Square Enix means Final Fantasy and tons of other awesome RPGs. Konami would have been cool, because Castlevania had some awesome music when Michiru Yamane was composing it.
Sega really would be awesome if the included Streets of Rage.
But it ultimately failed and was a let down if they didn't have this.

It's kind of funny though.

That one is a bit of a let down that they stopped at Ming. They should have went all the way and given the full name of Emperor Ming the Vaseless, or Emperor Ming for short.
