It seems exactly like the Shiva-linga shaped Mount Kailash from the Northern Face.Over the centuries pilgrims have constantly journeyed covering hugh distances to achieve enlightenment or cleanse themselves of sin,or just to pay a visit to the paradise on Earth braving enormous distances, particularly harsh weather.The dessert like terrain The Rough Terrain on the way.For the Hindus Mount Kailash is the Shiva, and his consort Parvati.For the Jains, this is the site where their first prophet achieved enlightenment.For the ancient religion of Bon, it is the site where its founder Shanrab is said to have descended from heaven.For the Tibetans this is a special place because their poet saint Milarepa, spent several years here meditating in a cave,and while for the rest of the people it's a sheer magnificent beauty by which one cannot turn-away;its a beauty just like a Black-hole where we can't go but get pulled into it, where as over here by desire we should/ can make a visit and by our own wish... | |

| | Big Dog | | The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth
BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight. BigDog has an on-board computer that controls locomotion, servos the legs and handles a wide variety of sensors. BigDog’s control system manages the dynamics of its behavior to keep it balanced, steer, navigate, and regulate energetics as conditions vary. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a laser gyroscope, and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine temperature, rpm, battery charge and others.In separate trials, BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, and carries a... | |
| | My Gram, My world, My Gardener... | | I look back and remember my grandmother fondly. She grew up in an era which many of us could have never imagined. A time wars were newspaper headlines, Green Stamps were used to buy things, rationing was required, bread lines existed, fallout shelters were common, and instead of wearing nylons she had to use a black liner to draw a seam. When I was growing up, I remember that she loved to watch baseball, read Garfield comic strips everyday before work, and lived to feed the squirrels. I spent most of my life with her, as a child, because my Mom was very sick, and my Dad was always working. My parents faced many struggles when I was growing up, and it was ultimately my grandmother who prepared me for my life’s journey. I remember my grandmother’s house on Clinton Way in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Her house was yellow, with a large yard in a corner lot; it was well within walking distance of all the stores and bus lines. My grandmother never drove and was always very busy. I spent most of my time with my Grandmother, or,“ Gram” as I called her and we had many great times talking, both at home, and on the bus.
I remember that in the summer, life for both of us was... | |
| | Peaceful Versus HERCULES! Whatta World We Live In.... | | This past Earth Day, I celebrated Her by walking the seven mile path around the river... the day was simply beautiful, you know, with Sun shining and Birds, singing and all that...Inspite of the crowd of rowing enthusiasts, who had taken over the river bank, most wearing bright and loud clothing to match their cheers and shouts at the racers on the water...I found my thoughts turning deliciously introspective, perhaps it's the rhythm of my walk/glide pace and the feel of the breeze that forces my black silk shirt to softly pet my skin...I remember a time when this path wasn't so nice, it was torn up in places with cracked concrete and ditches that had their own pot holes built right in!This was a few years back, when The City claimed that it had no money to fix up it's recreational areas, blah, blah, blah....Well, anyway that didn't bother me at all back then 'cuz, I loved to ride my mountain bike over this rough terrain, the uncertainty of the surface and blind hazards making my daily exercise a thrill ride, for sure!My 36 miles daily, along with serious pullups, situps and ringwork, had helped me forge a great and energetic body, which, the Ladies... | |
