Ball Aerospace successfully delivered the Joint Polar Satellite System-1 (JPSS-1), NOAA’s next-generation polar orbiting weather satellite, to Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Aug. 31, where it is scheduled to launch Nov. 10, 2017. This follows a successful pre-ship review with NASA at Ball’s Boulder, Colorado, manufacturing complex.
“The arrival of the spacecraft at Vandenberg is a tremendous milestone for the program and the culmination of excellent collaboration and hard work by the JPSS-1 team – NOAA, NASA, Ball, Harris, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman,” said Rob Strain, president, Ball Aerospace. “This advanced weather satellite will play a significant role in providing actionable environmental intelligence to decision makers in government and business, and to the general public.”

Just for fun, I decided to try recording my voice and I discovered that once again I can sing through my sound system and so I'm giving my vocoloid program a break as I am once again singing the lead vocal work. I still used my vocoloid program for the backup vocals to the chorus of this song .... I love collaborating with my computer .... Even if it does terminate my voice from time to time. As long as it doesn't try to terminate me because I'm the one who hold's the hammer ..... and the remote control.
Lyrics
July 2nd, it was 1994. A terminator come knocking upon my door.
I said "Whoa now son, what you got to give?" He said "Come with me if you want to live.
Hey Terminator. Hey Terminator. Hey Terminator, what you gonna terminate tonight?
I said "Son, we don't have to mess around here. I've got lots of whiskey and plenty of beer."
"Why don't you and I go take a ride in my limo?" He said "I'll be back, no problemo."
Hey Terminator. Hey Terminator. Hey Terminator, what you gonna terminate tonight?
So then I asked "Boy, you got yourself a name? Gotta call you something if we're gonna play this game."
"Shall I call you Maurice, Rick Nick or Rob?" He then shrugged his shoulders and replied "Uncle Bob?"
Hey Terminator. Hey Terminator. Hey Terminator, what you gonna terminate tonight?"
He terminated my whiskey. He terminated my rye. It all went down his hatchet, he said here's mud in my eye.
I said "Now son, you gonna pay this tab maybe?" He just grinned and said "Hasta La Vista Baby."
Hey Terminator. Hey Terminator. Hey Terminator, what you gonna terminate tonight?
Repeat chorus.

Comic novels can be whimsical, absurd or just plain funny, rarely are they all three.
A riotous romp on the high seas that’s sharply intelligent and refreshingly zany.
A five star cruising experience with passengers unaware that plots are afoot to rob
them of their jewels and maybe their freedom culminating in an astonishing and unpredictable ending.
This is one trip you don’t want to miss. Find out more at http://www.chillikippen.com/ comedy/thriller

For the first time in the 80-year history of the brand, Wheaties will offer America the opportunity to select the next elite athlete to be featured nationally on the iconic Wheaties box. Kicking off today is the Wheaties NEXT Challenge powered by the leader in Connected Fitness, MapMyFitness. Five world-class athletes from five emerging sports will compete for this honor in an innovative way—by asking their fans to get out and move. Challenge participants will vote for their favorite athlete by logging workouts through the MapMyFitness platform – either manually documenting online, recording through any of the apps (MapMyFitness, MapMyRun, MapMyRide, MapMyWalk) or by connecting any one of the 400+ compatible devices. The Wheaties NEXT Challenge runs through August 31, and the athlete with the most votes via workouts logged will appear on the Wheaties box in early 2015.
