MooPig :poop: Department :: "Pet Lovers' Derivatives"

"Scruffy has to go outside, Junior..."
Martial Mashed Article by Pat Darnell  |  Mar 17, 2015  |  Bryan TX

Test for whether one is a bonafide writer or not ... "How many times do you have to look up the difference between 'affect' and 'effect?'"

There are two kinds of people, those who let their pets poop all over, and those who let their pets poop all over but never mention it. I have been both kinds. Unfortunately, our pets' pooping all over affects our long-standing watersheds. See article below.

Are Americans ready to 'effect' martial law on pets pooping all over? Ha! *[Let's see if I did that correctly]*  LINK -- I still can't figure it out.

As a young person I let our Pekingese-Cocker-Spaniel, Baby, poop all over the back yard and just avoided it as I mowed the yard. As a young adult I let our Border Collie poop all over his dog run. I couldn't organize my own wastage's, how could I affectingly manage our pup's waste?

Now after several scat sorties by this blog, I find I am still dilettante, and never will get it through my thick skull that the pets are pooping all over the place. Unfortunately, I have genetically passed on this shortsightedness to my children.

No Poop Fairy, so manage your pets' waste - National Green Living | Examiner.com: "The most effective way for pet owners to limit their pet’s contribution to source water contamination is to simply clean up and dispose of pet waste. As long as the droppings are not mixed with other materials, pet waste should be flushed down the toilet."

"...[I]n Northern Virginia, a dog population of 11,400 is estimated to contribute about 5,000 pounds of solid waste every day and has been identified as a major contributor of bacteria to the stream. Nearly 500 fecal coliform samples have been taken from Four Mile Run and its tributaries since 1990, and about 50 percent of these samples have exceeded the Virginia State water quality standard for fecal coliform bacteria, according to EPA..."

CONCLUSION
Food in; poop out.

MooPig :poop: Department :: "Earth as a Toilet"

Most Will Shy Away from this Discussion
Mashed Martial Articles by Pat Darnell  |  June 28, 2014  |  Bryan TX

"What is shocking in India is this picture [HERE] of someone practicing open defecation and in the other hand having a mobile phone," said Maria Neira, director of Public Health at the WHO.

We can only imagine what an Indian wedding is like. The dogged truth is that bears do shit in the woods. When you are surrounded by a world of shit, there is still wonderful things all around to look at -- or is there ...?

"... Paris lovers try not to notice the dog poop everywhere, but they have to be careful anyway. In my neighborhood, if you don't have your eyes riveted on the sidewalk as you walk, you will have a nasty surprise on your shoes when you get home. Hundreds of people a year wind up in the hospital after slipping in the dog poop ( LINK) ..."

And then, there are 14 places you can aspire to pee/poop, including the ISS, ski slopes, underwater, and others, according to this article:

"...13. The Ski-Jump Toilet
Japan’s Madarao-Kogen hotel is home to the simulated ski-jump toilet, offering maximum comfort without the harshness of winter: “The cubicles were fully wrapped on all sides, so that the person caught short would have a ski jumper’s view when they were sitting on the loo.” (LINK)..."

This bit started with this article:

One Billion People Still Practise Open Defecation, Endangering Public Health: UN: "Tom Miles GENEVA, May 8 (Reuters) - One billion people worldwide still practise "open defecation" and they need to be told that this leads to the spread of fatal diseases, U.N. experts said on Thursday at the launch of a study on drinking water and sanitation. "'Excreta', 'faeces', 'poo', I could even say 'shit' maybe, this is the root cause of so many diseases," said Bruce Gordon, acting coordinator for sanitation and health at the World Health Organization."
'via Blog this

"... Many countries have made great progress in tackling open defecation, with Vietnam and Bangladesh - where more than one in three people relieved themselves in the open in 1990 - virtually stamping out the practice entirely by 2012."

"...India's government has now woken up to the need to change attitudes, he said, with a "Take the poo to the loo" campaign that aims to make open defecation unacceptable, helped by a catchy YouTube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_peUxE_BKcU  ."


CONCLUSION
Depend on MooPig to keep you informed. We will be monitoring all forms of excrement through out the world, and maybe make some charts up, and possibly mash a bunch of articles together to help you in your scatological pursuits. Remember -- we at MooPig will always be better than FOX News! Don't want to set the barre too high now.

EPILOGUE
Things we still want to know:

1. Has Bill Gates entered the stage where he locks himself in a Hotel room and doesn't bathe?
2. What became of the Westboro Baptist Church media whores?
3. Does Jose still work for Kennedy Underground Utilities Company? His job was to find water, no matter where he was.
4. If I put Erika Eleniak's picture on this post, will it become a number one in page-views post?
5. Why do networks pixel-ate out sponsors on UFC fighters' shorts and shirts when they show reruns of their fights?
6. Why does my foot shake when I type? Is that restless leg syndrome? I am, after all, almost 60.

NASA Doesn't Talk :: Mars saves Face

Snagged by Pat Darnell | Aug 10, 2012 | Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

While NASA propaganda diverts attention from "life on Mars" to "geologic information gathering," do we feel less validated about our suspicions?

Many today think we should be studying "artifacts" rather than "dirt," and "archaeology" rather than "geology" on Mars. Why? Three reasons: location, location, location. "The rover will assess whether Mars ever had an environment able to support life forms. (NASA/Bill Ingalls)" HA!

And while NASA ponders "what makes the red planet red?" ... We are left pondering in our coffee cups the downward spiral of life on earth.

Knowing what to look for is the key, no? So, now try to plan your life according to the long shot that NASA will somehow own up the evidence of  "others" out there who are faster, sleeker, and far advanced to our space programs. Yes, for NASA to admit there is a superior group of space travelers in the sky, watching everything we do, would spell the end of the $billions spent on its folly of space stations and probes. And there are multiples of formations showing up in NASA's own photos, not readily released by NASA elites, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, photos depicting civilization machinations in Mars' surface.

" ... A new survey finds that 80 million Americans, or 36 percent of the population, believe UFOs are real. One in 10 respondents say they have personally witnessed an alien spaceship. And if aliens were to invade the country sometime in the next four years, 65 percent of survey respondents said President Obama would be better suited for handling the invasion than Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. (Life's Little Mysteries Staff / June 28, 2012. HERE) ... "

This survey is quoted in lots of documentaries and shows lately. We thought the bit about Obama's street credit was a good side note. " ... More than three in four Americans (77 percent) think there are signs that suggest aliens have visited the Earth, whether or not they've made up their minds about the question. ... " The truth is that public consciousness is changing from "non-belief" in this phenomena to "belief in it for sure." Aliens do exist for the majority of Americans.

Therefore, Plimpton, what's the big deal? The same thing that is the big deal for all the patron workers at NASA -- elitists' mega spending of American tax money.

" ... More surprisingly, the new NatGeo survey found that a whopping 79 percent of people think the government has kept information about UFOs a secret from the public, and more than half (55 percent) believe there are real-life "Men in Black"-style agents who threaten people who spot UFOs. (Life's Little Mysteries Staff / June 28, 2012.)... "

Woe is me ... how to persuade the public to spend billions on dated technology, technology that is pre-historic to the one future day announcement that the aliens are out there, at large, and probably in charge? And they have space travel technology that supplants the entire brigade of NASA toys.

The key to this is that we humans on Earth today cannot do the announcing by ourselves. Unfortunately we will require trumpets and horsemen from the heavens to help us be convinced.

Yes, please help us, the little people!

Location; location; location " ... Nearly one in five think the nation's capital is the most likely landing zone for a UFO. ... "

Venus Transit From the Space Station
This image of the 2012 Venus Transit was taken by NASA Astronaut Don Pettit from aboard the International Space Station on June 5, 2012. Pettit, who had the foresight to bring a solar filter for his camera, captured several images of the June 5 transit, downloading them in almost real-time. He photographed the image through the European Space Agency-built "cupola", removing the scratch panes to get crisp, clear images.

NASA's SDO Captures 2012 Venus Transit Approach
This image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows Venus as it nears the disk of the sun on June 5, 2012. Venus's 2012 transit will be the last such event until 2117.

NASA Talk -- Flame Burst in Space Micro-Gravity

I Want this Flame Burst on my Tele
Retrieved by Pat Darnell | May 29, 2011 | Bryan TX

Burning
Because of the absence of gravity, fuels burning in space behave very differently than they do on Earth. In this image, a 3-millimeter diameter droplet of heptane fuel burns in microgravity, producing soot. When a bright, uniform backlight is placed behind the droplet and flame and recorded by a video camera, the soot appears as a dark cloud. Image processing techniques can then quantify the soot concentration at each point in the image. On the International Space Station, the Flame Extinguishing Experiment examines the combustion of such liquid fuel droplets.

This colorized gray-scale image is a composite of the individual video frames of the backlit fuel droplet. The bright yellow structure in the middle is the path of the droplet, which becomes smaller as it burns. Initial soot structures (in green) tend to form near the liquid fuel. These come together into larger and larger particles which ultimately spiral out of the flame zone in long, twisting streamers.

Lubricating Spacewalking astronauts encounter bolt trouble - Technology & science - Space - msnbc.com

Spacewalking astronauts encounter bolt trouble - Technology and science - Space - msnbc.com

EXCERPT  |  " ... Mike Fincke, one of NASA's most experienced spacemen, had to settle for a partial lube job, after the bolts holding down covers on the massive joint started popping off unexpectedly.

"Bummer," said his spacewalking partner, Andrew Feustel. ... (SOURCE)"

by Pat Darnell  |  May 26, 2011  |  Bryan TX
This is an interesting tale for some. We never think about what it must be like to work on the International Space Station, ISS, in this way. The space walking astronaut lost a "bolt" ..."while trying to lubricate a joint in the life-sustaining solar power system of the International Space Station...(Dunn, Marcia. May 22, 2011. HERE)."

For instance, if I focus on the "bolt" now floating in space around the earth in micro-gravity, I could be tempted to exaggeration. You know the feeling, like this 'bolt missing leaves a gap, a fissure in the structure of the Solar Power System that eventually leads to the shut down of the whole program...' type exaggeration.

Let's move on. It is a bit humbling to think of the giant space construct ISS hovering in orbit has the same needs as a truck's stopover at Dixie Truckers' Home in McLean IL. They both need constant lubrication. A truck will continue for a long while without proper lube-ing, but it won't be pretty. No, that Mack will shudder and shake, and squeak its way down the highway.

It links us all to know the ISS needs a regular lube job.

We are all part of the great space walk. We can lube our vintage cars with a same vigor as a space walking astronaut. It also rings home that a 'buck fifty' part like a bolt can bring the whole mechanical dynamo down.

NASA Talk -- Bon Voyage Endeavour

Endeavour's Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver
At 5:15 a.m. EDT today, Endeavour began the nine-minute Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver, or 'backflip,' on its last visit to the Inernational Space Station. With Commander Mark Kelly at the controls, Endeavour rotated 360 degrees backward to enable space station astronauts Dmitry Kondratyev, Paolo Nespoli and Cady Coleman to take high resolution pictures of the shuttle’s heat shield.

Kelly then flew the shuttle through a quarter circle to a position about 400 feet directly in front of the station. Docking occurred about an hour later at 6:14 a.m.
