Season Shot is made of tightly packed seasoning bound by a fully biodegradable food product. The seasoning is actually injected into the bird on impact seasoning the meat from the inside out. When the bird is cooked the seasoning pellets melt into the meat spreading the flavor to the entire bird.

The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) provided reliable real-time control for the Apollo spacecraft that carried US astronauts to the moon, 1969-1972. It was designed by the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory (now The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc.) and manufactured by Raytheon Corporation.
The AGC was significant for its tight coupling of human and machine, its early use of integrated circuits, and its reliable, mission critical software. The history of the AGC project provides a window into the history of technology in America during the space race and the Cold War. This site is devoted to documenting the machines, people and institutions that made this achievement possible.
Virtual AGC is a computer model of the AGC. It does not try to mimic the superficial behavioral characteristics of the AGC, but rather to model the AGC’s inner workings. The result is a computer model of the AGC which is itself capable of executing the original Apollo software on (for example) a desktop PC. In computer terms, Virtual AGC is an emulator.
Why waste so much time on a project that may be of interest to 3 geeks somewhere?
Placing men on the moon is one of the greatest accomplishments of the United States of America. It is arguable, indeed, that it is the greatest accomplishment (of any kind) in the history of the human race. If so, perhaps it makes sense to preserve the relics of the Apollo project. (Besides, I’m one of the 3. )

Computers in Spaceflight: The NASA Experience
Computers in Spaceflight: The NASA Experience
In the first 25 years of its existence, NASA conducted five manned spaceflight programs: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Shuttle. The latter four programs produced spacecraft that had on-board digital computers.
Visionary ahead of his time, Cezanne’s innovative style, use of perspective, composition and color profoundly influenced 20th century art.
Cezanne’s art, misunderstood and discredited by the public during most of his life, grew out of Impressionism and eventually challenged all the conventional values of painting in the 19th century through its insistence on personal expression and on the integrity of the painting itself. He has been called the father of modern painting.

Cezanne is not an easy man to love, but professors and painters adore him.
~
His early years were difficult and his career was, from the beginning, dogged with repeated failure and rejection.
His power to excite artists of different tendency and temperament is due, I think, to the fact that he realized with equal fullness so many different sides of his art.
When I was in Aix, I thought I would be better off elsewhere. Now that’s I’m here, I regret Aix… when one is born there, that’s it, nothing else appeals.

Take a good look at the WWF website, (World Wildlife Fund, not the other one) and what do you see? The giant panda, of course. Tigers. Gorillas. Cetaceans. The token reptile, a sea turtle. Generally cute and/or fuzzy, or, failing that, sleek and “handsome”. Notice a pattern?
Well, the purpose of this blog is to change all that. Sure, cute fuzzies will sell calendars and mugs, but what about those endangered things whose faces even a mother might have issues loving? Just because they’re ugly doesn’t mean they’re not important.

I plan on updating with new profiles of Endangered Ugly Things every weekend.
