New Photo of Neil Armstrong on the Moon

There are famously no good photos of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. This was because for most of the time that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were on the lunar surface, Armstrong had the camera, and so most of the historic photographs taken during the Apollo 11 mission, show Buzz Aldrin. Neil can be seen in the grainy TV and film footage, and his back can be seen in a panorama, but now, Mike Constantine of Moonpans.com has added a new photo of Neil to the list.

(PRWEB) July 16, 2008 -- There are famously no good photos of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. This was because for most of the time that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were on the lunar surface, Armstrong had the camera, and so most of the historic photographs taken during the Apollo 11 mission, show Buzz Aldrin. Neil can be seen in the grainy TV and film footage, and his back can be seen in a panorama, but now, Mike Constantine of Moonpans.com has added a new photo of Neil to the list.

This new and exclusive photo made by Mike Constantine of Moonpans.com, is one of the only images of Neil Armstrong standing on the surface of the moon. But the funny part is, that Neil took the photo himself! It is actually a close up shot of Buzz Aldrin's reflective visor, which shows the Neil as the photographer as a mirror image.

Using digital imaging techniques we zoomed in on Buzz's visor and cropped, flipped and de-sphered, the reflection to get the rare shot of Armstrong as Buzz would have looked back at him during the famous shot.

The reason no proper photos were taken of Neil Armstrong on the moon, was because Neil had the camera most of the time, so there are plenty of shots of Buzz but almost none of Armstrong.

Incidentally, the small blue dot at the top of the photo is actually the Earth!

How the photo was made

After getting hold of a highest resolution scan possible of the famous Buzz Aldrin Visor Shot, Mike cropped out the Visor part and set about stretching and manipulating the image to overcome the spheracle effect of the visor, he then had to correct the color away from the Gold sheen that the visor had. Lastly the image was flipped to show how Neil actually would have looked to Buzz, rather than his mirror image.

The only other and perhaps a more impressive photo of Neil Armstrong on the Moon, is the panorama that Buzz captured showing Neil working at the MESA (Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly) of Lunar Module, Eagle. This is the Moonpans.com assembly . It was assembled from 8 separate photos to form a single seamless panoramic photgraph. Virtual Reality Movies from all the Apollo Missions are available on the Moonpans Website

Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Canaveral on July 16 1969 and landed on the Moon on July 20th 1969. Neil Armstrong then became the first man to walk on the moon.

Moonpans.com started in 2003 assembling the panoramic photos that were taken on the Apollo missions. Now they supply Apollo panoramic prints, Astronaut autographs, memorabila flown to the Moon and work with space museums on large panoramic backdrops.

Some Interesting Facts About Formula 1

• A Formula1 car is made up of 80,000 components, if it were assembled 99.9% correctly, it would still start the race with 80 things wrong!


• When an Formula1 driver hits the brakes on his car he experiences retardation or deceleration comparable to a regular car driving through a BRICK wall at 300kmph!!!


• F1 car can go from 0 to 160 kph AND back to 0 in FOUR seconds!!!!!!!


• F1 car engines last only for about 2 hours of racing mostly before blowing up on the other hand we expect our engines to last us for a decent 20yrs on an average and they quite faithfully DO....that's the extent to which the engines are pushed to perform...


• An average F1 driver looses about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to the prolonged exposure to high G forces and temperatures for little over an hour (Yeah that's right!!!) the turkish circuit has a turn 8 which exposes a driver to about 4-5Gs for about 7 seconds continuously!!!


• At 550kg a F1 car is less than half the weight of a Mini Cooper.


• To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design and added down force can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track.


• Without aerodynamic down force, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin and loss of control at 160 kph. They usually race at over 300 kph.


• In a street course race like the Monaco grand prix, the down force provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening!


• The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 liters of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 liter family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.


• TOP F1 pit crews can refuel and change tyres in around 3 seconds. It took me 8 sec to read above point.


• During the race the tyres lose weight! Each tyre loses about 0.5 kg in weight due to wear.


• Normal tyres last 60 000 - 100 000 km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90 - 120 km.


• A dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best grip) when tread temperature is between 900C and 1200C.(Water boils boils at 100C remember) At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a second.

Yes, parents do have a heart. Stop Abortion

Dear Mommy, I am in Heaven now... I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy.

That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me. The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore. Then the monster started ripping my arms off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.

Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand.

And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.. The angel took me away to a wonderful place... Then I was happy. I asked the angel what was the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion". I am sorry, for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die. Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful.

Love,
Your Baby Girl.

Cosmetic Surgery for Men in New Jersey is Seeing a Dramatic Increase at Parker Center for Plastic Surgery

New Jersey Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, performing a dramatic increase in plastic surgery for men. Parker Center for Plastic Surgery, New Jersey, sees the trend mirroring the national trend, and they are dedicated to offering specialized treatments as needed for their male patients.

Paramus, NJ (PRWEB) July 10, 2008 -- In an article recently published in "The Record" by North Jersey Media Group, Mary Jo Layton details the evolution of men increasingly accepting plastic surgery.

Ms. Layton writes, "Love handles and jowls, it seems, have no place on an ageless boomer's body. Tightening a sagging jawline, siphoning fat from the buttocks and beer bellies or removing puffiness around the eyes gives men confidence and a leg up in the business world, physicians said."

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recently published their 2007 cosmetic surgery trends data which shows a dramatic increase in the number of men using plastic surgery treatments. The top 4 Cosmetic Procedures for Men in 2007 are Rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, liposuction, and male breast reduction.

Board-certified, New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, is not surprised by the trends for cosmetic surgery for men, "We are seeing more men coming in after watching their wives enjoy the success of their procedures. The men are walking in interested in facial procedures to look more refreshed, less tired."

The center also recognizes that as the weather warms up and more men want to go outdoors without a shirt, the consultations and procedures increase for liposuction and male breast reduction, New Jersey.

Dr. Parker continues, "Our practice also sees a trend of more men in their 30s and 40s who workout and have healthy lifestyles but just can't lose fat in hard-to-reach areas."

At the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery in New Jersey, cosmetic surgery for men is somewhat different from that of female patients. The Parker Center recognizes the need of most men for a higher level of anonymity. Also, a quick, painless recovery to rapidly return to the workplace is a necessity. All of their patients and particularly their male patients appreciate the unoperated, natural looking results Dr. Parker is known for.

The staff at Parker Center for Plastic Surgery has developed an effective Rapid Recovery program well-suited for male patients: limited incisions to speed wound healing, short-acting anesthetic agents, a tailored regimen of drugs to minimize postoperative pain, swelling and bruising, and postoperative medical manual lymphatic drainage massage to accelerate healing.

Dr. Parker is always happy to discuss the various options available for male facial rejuvenation, male breast reduction, and male liposuction techniques. His website offers more procedure details specific to men as well as a collection of male before and after pictures.

Beauty Company Introduces Shampoo for $1,000 per Bottle- Guarantees Love

New salon shampoo guarantees love.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 8, 2008 -- When is a bottle of shampoo worth $1,000? Hal Robb the Managing Director for Nutralove, a Health and Beauty Company stated, "With gas north of $4 per gallon or south of $5 per gallon depending on how you look at it, it seems the only way to justify a bottle of shampoo selling for $1,000 is if we could actually bottle love." Robb claims that he can guarantee that each bottle contains love and not because Nutralove packs each shampoo bottle with nutrients, herbs and vitamins with its patent pending love shot ampoule's but because each $1000 bottle of Love shampoo comes with a $1,000 donation for St Jude's children's hospital.

"Most people talk about love as something to get, we have turned that around into something to give, and no children's charity is more worthy than St Jude's Children's Hospital," according to Robb. St. Jude's is one of the premier pediatrics hospitals in the United States specializing in solutions for cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

"Because each Love shampoo always has an extra, such as our love shot ampoule's stored in each cap that adds fresh and potent herbs and vitamins we have added the entire developments teams signature to each of the limited edition $1,000 bottles of Love shampoo sold during July," commented Karen Parker, General Manager of Nutralove. Additionally, Nutralove is donating 20 percent of the sales price of each shampoo sold online during the month of July.

Nutralove has offices in France, Thailand and the United States and can be reached at 877-918-LOVE or at http://www.nutralove.com/.
