The Book of Threes

Memory itself works on the concept of threes. The first time you observe something it's unique. The second time observe the same thing it becomes understood like a pattern. The third time observe the same thing you have a pattern to reference and it becomes known.

Celebrity Death Rule of Threes: Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon

Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon and Michael Jackson

The world was already sad enough this morning with the death of Farrah Fawcett piled on top of the recent death of Ed McMahon. I had a conversation at lunch about the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes - you know when a famous person dies, they say celebrity deaths always come in threes. I'm not sure if there's ever been a statistical study, but based on perception, the rule seems real.

Health Care Reform

President Barack Obama

Take the first step towards making health care reform a reality by showing Congress that you support the President's three principles for reform:

Reduce Costs — Rising health care costs are crushing the budgets of governments, businesses, individuals and families and they must be brought under control
Guarantee Choice — Americans must have the freedom to keep whatever doctor and health care plan they have, or to select a new doctor or health care plan if they choose
Ensure Affordable Care for All — All Americans must have quality and affordable health care

Passing health care reform in 2009 is a top priority for the President. Achieving it will require everyone working together -- we can't do this without you. Stand with the President by adding your name and email to his list.

Clouds

undulatus asperatus

Is there a forth type of cloud on the horizon?

Certain conditions must exist for clouds to form - water vapor in the air, temperature change, and particles in the air for the water vapor to condense on. As warm, moist air rises, it begins to cool and condense on dust particles forming water droplets. These water droplets form clouds. They will not fall to Earth because they are too small.

There are three main types of clouds.

Stratus - meaning layer
Cumulus - meaning heap
Cirrus - meaning curl
