Google Captures Identical UFOs,Thousand Miles Apart,Video

Google Street View captured two identical unidentified objects in Jacksonville,Arizona,US.

At both locations the same object appears in the sky hovering over the street and was first pointed out to ABC News affiliate KLTV in East Texas by Andrea Dover who noticed the first UFO while using Google Maps to get directions.

The red orb-like shapes are visible to all users of the application online at Jacksonville in Texas and at the Sky City Casino Hotel on 32 Indian Service Route 30, Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico.

Already Theories are out to say that the objects are nothing but “t the orbs are in reality are sun glare from the camera or the reflected arches of a McDonald’s restaurant.”!

Disillusion of a Software Professional, Is this Life?

Office of Dr. Philip Blake, Al Capone’s 2nd Psychiatrist (Photo credit: Chicago Crime Scenes)

I have blogged on 11 July 2012, on ‘I would like to be poor’ where  I have made some comments reflecting on Life…..

“Life loses its charm and becomes tedious when one has everything in terms of material comforts.

Some get things too easily.

People long for good food,shelter ,good clothes,Car,Gadgets likeMobile, iPod,Home, a Girl/Boy friend , a job which appears to be satisfying for a while.

They get married.

They postpone be-getting children to ‘enjoy Life’

They work inordinate and ungodly hours, eat junk food, guzzle soft drinks ,Hard Drinks.

On Saturdays/Sundays, they wake up around 12 and laze about, go out for food, sleep , then go out for Dinner and watch movies.

Suddenly they realize that they are ‘burnt out’

They have no desire to do anything.

They leave jobs saying that they want to do things they always wanted to do, forgetting that they chose their Careers on their own and made decisions on their own over every thing.

They become abrasive and irritated and become depressed.

This does not end here.

Once out of job, they try to do some thing which they think they like doing , get disillusioned shortly and start hunting for a job.

Some times they get it immediately, some times they don’t.

They become depressed further and consult a Psychiatrist.

The Psychiatrist tells them that they should get their priorities right and decide on what they like and start doing what they like.

And the whole Cycle begins again!

I saw a forward sent by my son, which I read to day, which showed me how the mechanical pursuit and unnecessary reflection can lead to disillusionment and how man reaches old age.

WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER..
A Bitter RealityAs the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in
Software Engineering and joined a company based in USA, the
land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the USA, it
was as if a dream had come true.Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I
would be staying in this country for about Five years in which
time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India.

My father was a government employee and after his retirement,
the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat.

I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling
homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and
speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone
cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald’s and
pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange
rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down.

Finally I decided to get married. Told my parents that I have
only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within
these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight.
Was jubilant and was actually enjoying hopping for gifts for
all my friends back home. If I miss anyone then there will be
talks. After reaching home I spent home one week going through
all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting
shorter I was forced to select one candidate.

In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get
married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After
the marriage, it was time to return to USA, after giving some
money to my parents and telling the neighbors to look after
them, we returned to USA.

My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she
started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling India
increased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our
savings started diminishing.

After two more years we started to
have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us
by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked
me to come to India so that they can see their grand-children.

Every year I decide to go to India… But part work part
monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting
India was a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a
message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I
couldn’t get any holidays and thus could not go to India … The
next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there
was no one to do the last rights the society members had done
whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed
away without seeing their grand children.

After couple more years passed away, much to my children’s
dislike and my wife’s joy we returned to India to settle down.
I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my
savings were short and the property prices had gone up during
all these years. I had to return to the USA…

My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to
stay in India… My 2 children and I returned to USA after
promising my wife I would be back for good after two years.

Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an
American and my son was happy living in USA… I decided that
had enough and wound-up every thing and returned to India… I
had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a
well-developed locality.

Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is
for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife
has also left me and gone to the holy abode.

Sometimes

I wondered was it worth all this?

My father, even after staying in India,

Had a house to his name and I too have
the same nothing more.

I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM.

Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing.
This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these
children are losing their values and culture because of it. I
get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well
at least they remember me.

Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbors again who will
be performing my last rights, God Bless them.

But the question
still
remains ‘was all this worth it?’

I am still searching for an answer……………..!!!

START THINKING

IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA BEDROOM???

LIFE IS BEYOND THIS ….., DON’T JUST LEAVE YOUR LIFE ……!!!!
START LIVING IT …….!!!
LIVE IT AS YOU WANT IT TO BE ……!!!

Anand

Man’s Conversation with His 12 Year Old Self Video

One can discern how much one has changed and how one’s views appear to irrelevant at a later stage.

If we could  do it periodically we may even improve.

“What would it be like if you could go back in time and talk to a younger version of yourself? Filmmaker and actor Jeremiah McDonald got to experience that process — in a way — thanks to a video tape he made for his future self back in 1992.

Twenty years later, McDonald cut together an interview combining footage of himself in 1992 (at age 12) and in 2012 (age 32).

The result is funny, poignant and ingenious in its presentation — which cuts present-day McDonald against his improvised 12-year old self two decades ago. As precocious as the younger version is, he also has one or two things to teach the older McDonald.

And at least they still share a love of British sci-fi hit, Doctor Who — though the younger McDonald has no idea how cool the rebooted version is going to be (and doesn’t get his elder version’s reference to the episode “Blink,” which features a very similar kind of time-traveling video conversation.)

Watching the short film, I was struck by memories of my own video experiments in elementary, middle and high school. Even in the age before YouTube, the art of self-documentary was alive and well — at least for some of us.

The video already has more than 14,000 likes on YouTube — and seems poised to go ever more viral.

McDonald Burger, Caught Cheating by Its Video.

‘Kaikkasule sooniyam vachchukkarathu’ ithuthaan!-Tamil

‘Have Voodoo done on self with own money’

In fact what you see in ad Advertisement in a commercial or a magazine ad is not what you actually get.

You will find fruits shining  ,and other Dishes glowing.

The commercial or th ad will be appealing in visuals only if the are sparkling.

Normally Vaseline or some other reflective material is dusted on the product and then the film is shot.(Reflective  materials should not be very much reflective as it would affect the quality of the Photo.

Again the Models or film stars are not what you see in the film.

Any way I am reminded of TATA Docomo Commercial where Ranbir Kappor asks the customer to keep the menu at a distance to match the product size promised.

McDonald Burger what you were promised and what you get

If you have ever ever queued for a McDonald’s burger drooling over the photos on the menu, you’ve probably wondered why your Big Mac never looks the same.

Well, the fast-food giant has taken a candid approach by revealing the secrets of how it makes its burgers look so much juicier, bigger and tastier in its adverts.

In a surprising move, McDonald’s has made public the laborious process called ‘food-styling’ in which its burgers are prepared for hours and put together with absolute precision so they look their best for photo shoots.

And, emphasising how different the beautifully presented burgers are to those bought in store, they are compared side-by-side with their less attractive counterparts.

In response to a customer’s question, a McDonald’s marketing director went behind the scenes of a video shoot for its quarter pounder with cheese burger.

The video starts with Hope Bagozzi introducing the question from a customer named as Isabel M.

Miss Bagozzi said: ‘She asks, “Why does your food look different in the advertising than what’s in the store?” It’s a great question, Isabel. We get asked that a lot.’

The ‘food styling’ takes place in a photography studio where each ingredient is carefully prepared. Miss Bagozzi tells viewers: ‘That burger [made in a normal McDonald’s] was made in about a minute or so. The process we go through on the average shoot takes several hours.

‘I think that it’s important to note that all the ingredients are the exact same ingredients that we use in the restaurant. So it is the exact same patty, it’s the exact same ketchup, mustard and onions, and same buns.’

The video shows how each ingredient is carefully put into place, with the onions, pickles and sauces placed at the edge of the bun so they can seen.

A McDonald’s food stylist explains: ‘This way we can at least tell people you have ketchup, you have mustard, you have two pieces of cheese and you know what you’re getting.’

After the ingredients are in place, the cheese is gently melted using a heated palette knife. A computer is used to add the finishing touches.

Teenager Squats for Two Months in AOL Unnoticed.

AOL Office

I have been waiting for a news item like this.

With the impersonal corporate culture where no body knows nobody(despite the HR spiel of ‘ all are colleagues, no vertical hierarchy, all on first name basis), this is bound to happen.

What has happened to access card given to the employees?

It looks that the security badge given to the boy during his official education there still worked!

‘A 19-year-old technology entrepreneur lived unnoticed in the Silicon Valley offices of internet giant AOL for two months before being discovered.

Eric Simons, from Chicago, slept on sofas, ate free in cafeterias, and used his days to work on his own start up company, offering teachers the chance to share lesson plans.
Other employees assumed he was a colleague and admired his strong work ethic. Simons would already be in the gym when they arrived at 7am, and he always stayed latest in the office at night.
Simons told technology website CNET: “There were so many people going in and out each day. They’d say, ‘Oh, he just works, here, he’s working late every night. Wow, what a hard worker.’”
During his first month Simons estimated he spent only $30 (£20) of his own money, mostly on occasional trips out to McDonald’s. He kept his clothes in a gym locker where he also showered.
The teenager, who had only finished high school a few months earlier, gained access to the offices when he was part of an official education.
