Russia's Zvezda has agreed to provide ejection seats for the prototype of Energia's six-crew Kliper reusable spacecraft. The operational Kliper will not use ejection seats, but the test vehicle will use seats developed for the cancelled Russian space shuttle Buran, writes Rob Coppinger.
The ejection seats used solid rocket motors intended to propel the test pilots up to 600m (1,800ft) from a Buran flying at Mach 3 or less.
The Kiper could be developed from 2006 by a combined Russian, European and Japanese space agency team (Flight International, 28 June–4 July). "Design of the [Kliper] version without wings is close to the Soyuz vehicle," says Sergei Sergeiovich, Zvezda deputy chief designer.

Fine Art Alberta Photographer
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
– Anais Nin
I am a picture maker. I think I've always been one. I am also a dreamer. From as far back as I can remember I've occupied my time with making pictures as an escape from a sometimes harsh world. Pictures that often represented a bygone era or way of life far removed from reality.
I was born in Calgary, Alberta. Although raised in the city, I spent as many of my weekends and holidays as possible with relatives in the ranching areas of southwestern Alberta where a deep love for western living and nature developed. Art was a major part of my life then. I took my first photograph with my dad's camera when I was two. I sketched and painted too. As a child, it was rare to see me without a camera or sketchbook.
I studied photography in the late 1980's, but then spent 14 years working with textiles. It is this work that ultimately lead me right back to photography, which led me back to painting. My work with textiles taught me a lot about color, texture, and form, which I am now able to use in my artistic practice. The use of color and texture led me to the Pictorialist photographers of the late 1800's early 1900's and their romantic, impressionist images which helped to shape the direction of my photography today.
I am attempting to create impressions of our world, more so than literal translations. I want to enable viewers to interact with the images by creating their own stories. I want to know how a viewers past, upbringing, and social experiences help to shape their reactions with the images.
"The meaning is not in the object or person or thing, nor in the word. It is we who fix the meaning so firmly that, after a while, it comes to seem natural and inevitable. The meaning is constructed by the system of representation."
– Stuart Hall
I use a variety of tools in creating my images. In photography I work mostly with digital imaging, I also employ old viewfinder cameras, toy lenses and cameras, and various handmade adaptations to achieve my results in camera. Then I will often use handpainted, natural, and created textures to further alter the mood of the image. The images aren't truly complete until printed. My choices in printing method and medium are the finishing touch.
In 2009 I was juried in as a full member of the Alberta Society of Artists, an organization my great great uncle Frederick George Cross was a charter member of. My images are influenced by such artist's as F.G. Cross, Henry Peach Robinson, Alfred Stieglitz, Frederick George Ashton, William Notman, Cornelius Krieghoff, A.Y. Jackson, William Turner, and others.
My fine art prints are featured in the Westin Hotel (Abu Dhabi, UAE; San Francisco, CA; Seattle, WA), Callaway Garden Spa & Resort (Georgia, USA), Brush Creek Ranch (Wyoming, USA), Ritz Carlton Hotel (Florida, USA), University Hospital (Edmonton, AB), and private collections in Canada, USA, UK, France, Italy, Sweden, and Australia.
A selection of my work is licensed by First Light (Canada) and Millennium Images (UK), and Soho Myriad (London, Atlanta, LA). I also license work independently for local design projects and stock usage through Pictorialist Photo. Open edition prints are available from Great Big Canvas, while select hand signed photographs and original works are available through Burnaby Art Gallery Rental & Sales (Canada), Art Interiors (Canada), and this website.
Original Canadian Paintings
Painting, for me, is an escape giving me the freedom of discovery, play, learning, and experimentation. I've never been able to keep a journal or diary. Words fail, but the visual language sings with the emotions I can't otherwise express. I am not striving to capture reality in my images, I am striving to capture abstract thoughts, ideas, or moods. I work mostly in oils and acrylic, but do the occasional watercolour and graphite or charcoal sketches. I treat art as a journey; and just like how I travel, every path is an adventure waiting to be discovered.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Former New England Revolution captain Shalrie Joseph haunted his old club with a pair of goals as the Revs saw an early three-goal lead slip away in a frustrating 3-3 draw with Chivas USA on Wednesday night at Gillette Stadium.
Saer Sene scored his team-leading 10th and 11th goals of the season – sandwiched around a Rauwshan McKenzie own goal – to give the Revs (6-14-6, 24 pts.) a 3-0 lead inside 21 minutes, but Joseph scored twice before the halftime break to pull Chivas USA (7-10-7, 28 pts.) within one. Miller Bolaños ultimately scored the equalizer for the visitors two minutes into the second half.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This weekly course covers the most common questions videographers encounter when shooting and editing with DSLR cameras, from choosing a frame size and frame rate to understanding moiré. Authors Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman will also help you understand the impacts of compression and the difference between cropped (or micro 4/3rds) and full-sized sensors in cameras, and much more. This continual FAQ guide is a handy way to find the answers to the questions that plague you the most.
Robbie Carman: So Rich, when we go on set or out on a location, we tend to bring a lot of gadgets with us besides just the camera bodies themselves, right? We have little portable lights, we have audio recorders, we have little gizmos like this that allow us to do panoramic photos. I mean, my bag is full of little gadgets, and they seemingly all take batteries. Rich Harrington: Yeah, it's very easy to run out of batteries. So to that end, I always want to make an assessment, both of what type of batteries something takes before I buy it and what I need to bring with.
For example, most of the shock on external type microphones like this that you are going to use run off a 9-volt battery. So you are going to want to make sure you have a couple. I always keep one in the microphone, one in my pocket, one in the bag. That way if I run out, it's easy. With three batteries I could deal with the fact that it was a good chance I am going to pack this away and forget to turn it off before I pack it so I am going to take it out and it's dead. Well, now I got two to get me through the shoot date. Other devices, like lights for example, this is a little portable light panel one, this one runs off of AA batteries, so does the Flash, the off-camera flash for my still shooting.
Well, for this I am going to need lots of AAs. I always carry at least eight with me. Now these are easier batteries to get. You know, you could run to a grocery store or a convenience store, but I just get a simple container, a waterproof container to hold the batteries. This way, you know, in case they were to overheat or explode, acid doesn't get on my gear. And more importantly, the elements, you know, dampness won't get to the batteries themselves. Robbie: Yeah. Rich: And what I do here is I take them out-- now real simple thing you'll see that I've got them all facing in one direction.
I'm a big believer that I shouldn't just discard used batteries carelessly. When I put them back in, I'll flip them the other way if they're dead. Robbie: Right, yeah, that's a good point. Now I am big a fan besides the regular sort of AA batteries, you know, like you buy from the groceries store or whatever, I actually like rechargeable batteries. I feel like I am getting better bang for the buck out of them a lot of times, and the fact that I can reuse them sort of makes me feel better about myself and the environmental and all of that. Now the thing about rechargeable batteries is that not all rechargeable batteries are created equal for all this different gear that you might have.
In fact, some devices or gadgets that you might have might actually have a switch inside of them to determine whether they're running off of rechargeables or non-rechargeables, so you need to pay attention to that. And then, Rich, you mentioned something I think is really brilliant, is sort of taking an idea of an inventory of your gear and what you have. Now I have been known to be a little OCD about things. Rich: He makes lists to keep his lists organized. Robbie: Exactly. And what I actually did not too long ago was I just went into you know a spreadsheet program and listed all of my gear and then I listed some details about them, for example what type of batteries did they take, what type of AC power, whether it's-- Rich: How prone they are to fingerprints? Robbie: Exactly, whether it's, you know, 9-volt or 12-volt power adaptor, because I want to be able to quickly in one snapshot go, oh, you know, for this shoot I am going to need 24 AA batteries, or I am going to need to bring two different, you know, 12-volt power adaptors that kind of thing and I make it very easy to look at.
Rich: And that's a very good point, having more-- you know--a list of what you need to pack is essential. I'm also a big fan a lot of bringing iOS or Android devices on set to help with things like sun path calculations, weather details. So I'll bring an external USB rechargeable battery that I could plug in a standard USB cord to power a lot of these devices. But a lot of times you get into specialty situations, and I got a case in point. Robbie: Yeah. Rich: For example here, this is the GigaPan head, and it's a really cool head for doing robotic movement, for large panoramic photography, it also has some time lapse applications.
Well, the great news is that it's got its own internal battery, and with this internal battery you can go ahead and run it off it-- I'll just hold it up there, it's in there really well, let's just unlock it, there we go--and I could go ahead and run off of this battery or I could plug this battery into the wall and run. But like a lot of these devices, we made a critical mistake that I see happen all the time. We ran the battery down to below 20% and then it gave us a battery, oh, I don't have enough power, I am going into you know shutdown mode. Robbie: Yeah, right.
Rich: Well, the thing was even, oh, I'll plug in the external power supply. No, is still had to get over that 20% threshold. So I really emphasize having more than one battery because you're going to want to have two batteries for each device, because you could run into problems, and a battery problem is going to completely lock you out of that production. Robbie: Now Rich, while we don't have it here on the table, I want to mention one more sort of battery power related thing. You drive a car, right? Rich: Yeah. Robbie: And that's usually how you get from location A to location B. Rich: Well, I tried teleportation, but I failed miserably.
Robbie: That transporter thing, that hasn't worked out. One of the things I am also a big fan of is going to, you know, your local electronics store, you know, a big-box retailer and getting a cigarette power adapter or sort of that 12-volt power adaptor for your car. And this comes in handy in a lot of reasons. You need to run a quick charge, you got it. Need to run something off of the actual battery in your car, you got it. Now every device might not have this capability, but it's another piece of sort of power equipment to have handy, because from time to time you might be in a situation where you don't have access to batteries, you don't have access to sort of, you know, a plug in the wall, but you do have your car sitting right there in the parking lot with the rest of your gear.
And so buying these power convertors just gives you another way of potentially powering some of your gear. Rich: Yeah, essentially in that case what you've done is you've given yourself a portable charging station when you drive from one location to the other, or a gas-powered generator. Robbie: There you go. Rich: Yeah, don't want to sit there running it. Now the important thing is just unplug that inverter. More than one time have I seen a crew member leave a inverter plugged into the car and they just drained their car battery. Robbie: Well, another important point about using some of these convertors is you want to first make sure that you turn the car on first before plugging your gear in.
Some of the convertors don't actually have sort of the capacitors or the technology built into them to sort of regulate actual signal, so when you start that car, it sends a big jolt of energy through the inverter into your gear, potentially frying that piece of equipment. So I always find it a better situation to first start the car with nothing attached to the inverter and then plug in your gear, which greatly reduces the risk of injury to your gear. Rich: Okay, so we've told you about all these great batteries and power-related devices that you need to buy, and you're probably going, great, more money to spend.
But when we come back, we've got one more module to talk about, and in this case we are going to give you some practical strategies to milk the maximum life out of your batteries so you can get the most from what you've already bought.

Gadgets for a cause
Tuesday, April 08, 2008
With Americans spending the same amount of time online as they do watching television (so says this Pew/Internet study), organizations and campaigns have the opportunity to build awareness of election issues broadly through Google tools that make it easy for users to access information.
Gadgets -- which are basically interactive and dynamic mini-billboards -- are one of the fastest growing applications at Google. They're the foundation for iGoogle, the personalized version of the Google homepage that has tens of millions of users. They can also be included on most any page on the web with some simple copy-and-paste. Our top gadget developers include a database specialist from the University of Southern Maine, a stay-at-home mom from Utah, and a computer science major from Puerto Rico.
Now any campaign or organization with a live website can use the Gadget Builder for organizations to quickly create a gadget. You can drive traffic from your gadget on iGoogle to your website and help your organization be seen and heard on this new platform. Your gadget could feature news from your organization, blog updates, a YouTube video channel, polls, trends, speeches, and more. You can submit your gadget to the iGoogle directory and drive additional usage of your gadget from your website.
By making content accessible on iGoogle, organizations can engage supporters, reach undecided voters, and provide information to the uninformed. All you need to get started is access to a publicly available server where you can host your gadget files. If you already have a gadget, make sure it's in the appropriate category, for instance Politics or News. If you don't have a gadget yet, it only takes a few minutes to get started.
For more details on gadget creation, visit the Google Gadget Center.

Auiopsych....did you say Chiziks defensive gameplan is holding back the secondary??? As I recall Chizik was a better defensive coordinator than Roof could ever dream of being....if anything....What Chizik wants to do is the better route to go....Roof couldnt late up Chiziks boots as a DC!
This woman could have possibly killed or gotten this child addicted to the same drug she is addicted to. Most of the time these people do blah blah blah...when you have a child, your needs and the needs of your habits, come secondary to the needs of the child, THAT'S IT! Someone would love this child, the mother clearly doesn't....and don't tell me she loves the child...she repeatedly put this kid in harms way....she needs to be jailed and the child taken care of by someone who will love it and raise it...this woman had her chance, but it went up in smoke!! ;-)
Kenny Loggins is "nobodys fool".....he probably said..."im alll right, dont nobody worry about me"....he wanted to go free....they wanted a death sentence...he said "meet me halway"......oh well...life in prison, he is probably dancing....gettin "footloose".......
Wrong Kenny Loggins??....damn!
The thigh is the part of the body between the pelvis and the knee, it is not just the front of the leg, it is the entire area of the leg surrounding the femur bone.
Smith was suspended for ONE game last year...and played in the following 3...so lets not get crazy in talking about our discipline....not to mention, he had this fight with a man, then had domestic violence with a woman, before he was finally kicked off the team....so, I am not sure I see your argument??
Actually he played in the first 4 games for Auburn....so I am not sure if you meant he was suspended for half of the "pre" season or what....but clearly you have your facts wrong....which I am sure is often the case!!
You seem to have a personal dog in this fight, whether you knew the victim or the alleged killer, you seem intent on stating that this guy did it. The justice system is built on people with an open mind and no preconceived notions about the case listening to the facts of the case and deciding on a verdict. You seem ready to call him guilty already...I don't know him, or her, and don't know anything more than I have read, but the facts are as I recall....SHE was there, HE was there, YOU were not!
My culture encourages me to love everyone. The "systematic rape of little children" is more of a sickness that is spread throughout the entire human race...., but everyone has their own views on things....to practically celebrate the death of this man seems to me maybe your culture is the one that encourages hatred!!
Sounds to me like which ever school he chooses is going to get a very good ball player and a good kid as well. Would love to see him at Bama, but regardless....hate seeing elite level talent leave the state..so if he doesn't choose Bama, then I would rather see him end up at Auburn!!
Is there an Alabama Conference of White Mayors? Just curious......

Such a sad story to hear....a tragic loss for this family...my prayers and condolences go out to them!
Harvey did it!! =)
17??? Come on....she looks 43, sheesh!! $75,000 bond for Murder??? How about NO bond for Murder!!
He is a Republican Senator from Gardendale, NOT Auburn?? Not sure if you are confusing him with someone else...but he is a Senator from the 17th District (Blount, Jefferson, St. Clair).
I will agree with the previous commenter that usually when people bring up God, it is to cover an action. I have taken dozens of classes on interviewing& Interrogation as well as body language and verbal/non-verbal communication, and when people start with being "a Christian, or a good God fearing person", a good bit of the time, they are lying about what they are telling you. With that said, I think Milty and the lot of them are guilty, and have been for a very long time. If you go back 10 years or so, look how many once powerful people are now in jail or were in jail, from a State Level, Birmingham, Jefferson County, and the Two Year College System...corruption seems to be everywhere in Alabama, and Milty has been buying people off for many many years.
Hmm...an adult woman, working a job at Walmart (which was obviously NOT her dream job) so she could afford to take care of herself and her child, while at the same time looking for the job which she felt was her career path, AFTER studying to learn how to do it, is killed because a bunch of goons who are lazy, ignorant, pathetic, animals "want to make a little money". They should have asked her how to make money, and she like most intelligent people would have said to get a job! Why work for it when the gonvernment will give it to you, and when they don't give you enough, then you just TAKE IT from someone else, because you have never had to work for it. What are the chances these animals or their parents have ever filed taxes or even had a checking account? Slim I would say. This woman was working at Walmart because she had to have income, what a tragedy, these 3 dont deserve to take another breath!!
akita069, How do you KNOW what happened? There are 2 people with differing accounts of what happened, but you immediately believe the complaintant and that he deserves "every penny he is asking for". What if the police officer is telling the truth? This man may be 85, but he apparently subdued the driver of the vehicle until the cops arrived. If the man was beaten for no reason, he should get MORE than the $250,000.00 and the officer should lose his job, but if the force was justified, he has already gotten exactly what he deserved. Why not wait until the facts play out a bit?
Between 8000-10,000 don't have bank accounts?!?!?....Really??....This is a case of Hubbard realizing that if the money isnt automatically taken out of the paychecks, the people might not give it to him, wow, what a strange concept!!!

With these loving gentle hands'
he was nailed to the cross,
on that one fateful night.
With these hands he holds us close ,
and guides us through the right.
With these arms he enfolds us,
with a Loving fathers embrace.
On that night if asked of any man,
would you take his place?
As for me I am glad,
of his sacrifice you see.
He gave himself to all mankind
for you and you and me.
To give the greatest gift of all,
to keep us all from harm.
I for one am glad,
to be sheltered in his arm.

Its probably a bit late for a 2012 recap, but with most of North America still in the grip of winter, I figured those of us who live in snowy states need a reminder of what it is like to climb in a t-shirt!
The year - Mason Earle
February 12, 2013 - Mason Earle
I was lucky to have some incredible adventures with various ladies and gentlemen of extraordinary character. I had the opportunity to explore for a month in Venezuela, ski chest-deep snow in Utah, establish new crack clmbs in Moab, ride helicopters in Yukon, scramble around Tuolumne and toil on impossible first ascents for over a month, bleed on Vedauwoo offwidths, and ride silly bicycles. What fun! These are some of my favorite first ascents from the year...
Kids With Guns 5.13a A3 R 21 pitches, Venezuela
At Dawn We Ride 5.12cR 15 pitches, Cirque of the Unclimbables
Real Talk 5.13+ trad Moab, UT
Green Tea 5.13 roof crack, Tuolumne, CA (thanks for the tip, Lucho Rivera!)

In all seriousness, Patch 3.0.3 has been as good as confirmed for tomorrow. As was pointed out to me, while the breaking news announcement about tomorrow's maintenance doesn't explicitly say it's an extended maintenance, the timeframe for it is definitely longer than the norm. Moreover, Boubouille over at MMO-Champion says it's tomorrow, and that's as close to confirmed as it gets without... you know, a confirmation. When he opens his mouth, blue crayons fall out.
As always, WoW Insider will be here in the morning to help you through the patching process, from the hours of boredom to the stretch of discovering just what the heck is different. And as I mentioned before, if you're a US citizen, you have other things to do as well.

WASHINGTOND.C. - The cellphone ban on flights is likely going to remain in place for a very long time, but when it comes to tablets and e-readers, the FAA may soon be easing their restrictions.
Since August 2012, the FAAhave had a committee examining the need for continued restrictions.Many industry analysts are predicting the FAA will ease the present regulations due toa lack of any aviation accidents being linked tothe use of personal electronic devices.
Even flight attendants are admitting that when they ask you to turn off your portable electronic devices, it's simply to get your attention during "the most sensitive parts of the flight."
And if you were to ever have access to the cockpit, you would find most pilots using electronic tablets during the flight.
Delta airlines has gone on the record urging the FAA to expand the use of electronic devices in flight, but to limit cell phone calls to the ground only.

Famous for his theories on black holes and best-selling books about the universe, Cambridge physicist Stephen Hawking will make his second appearance at Texas A&M.
Hawking will present "The Origin of the Universe" in Rudder Auditorium on the Texas A&M campus, Sunday.
Following Hawking's talk, the public is invited to get up-close and personal with science at a hands-on exhibition featuring a homemade hovercraft, a square-wheeled bicycle, working models of historic artillery and other fun experiments and displays illustrating basic scientific concepts and principles.
The events are part of the university's Physics Festival 2007 which is a part of a number of activities planned for Texas A&M's Parents' Weekend events.
For more details on the events happening on Saturday and Sunday presented by the physics department click here.
All events are being held in conjunction with the 2007 Mitchell Symposium on Astronomy, Cosmology and Fundamental Physics, an annual gathering of some of the world's foremost experts intended to advance research and exploration in related subject areas.
According to Texas A&M, Hawking's appearance at Texas A&M will mark his visit in the past four years.
He initially visited the campus in March 2003 to help inaugurate the university's George P. and Cynthia W. Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy, established with an endowment from the well-known Texas businessman and his wife, both of The Woodlands.

Issuses with trackpad
So today my trackpad on my 13 inch mid 2010 macbook pro started having difficulty with scrolling. Everything about my trackpad seems to work, including all gestures except scrolling.
When i take my 2 fingers and try scrolling up or down nothing happens UNTIL i take my fingers off and it scrolls a little, which means the momentum scrolling works and it recognizes that i was attempting to scroll. And i actually noticed the only occurs when I am using Google Chrome:Canary. Would it be a bad from a bad update?

You know how I want to live my life? With really long, straight hair. I like it. But I feel the pressure to shorten and style it to look like everyone else sometimes. What if people think I've escaped from a polygamous cult or something?
Ah, stuff 'em. I have the right to wear my hair weird. I'm the one who has to brush it...

CHEYENNE – Catch and release has been a popular fishing practice for many years – and is especially popular among those who enjoy fly fishing for trout.
As the summer fishing season progresses waters in streams and lakes naturally start warming which increases the importance of following fish-handling steps to help improve survival of fish that are to be released. Even though this is a good year for stream flows, waters are lower and warmer than they were a month ago and warmer water can place extra stress on fish.
Fish that are to be released should be played and landed as rapidly as possible to reduce exhaustion stress. This means that anglers may wish to choose heavier tippet or leader sections to enable to play the fish more quickly and get it back in the water in a timely manner.
Careful handling of the fish can also reduce mortality. Fish should not be squeezed and anglers should take care to keep their fingers away from the gills. A landing net is helpful in handling a fish and facilitates getting the hook out quickly. Anglers may also consider using barbless hooks as the hook is much easier to remove which minimizes the handling of the fish and the time the fish is out of the water. Regular hooks can be made barbless by flattening the barb with a pair of pliers.
Once the fish is caught it can be revived by holding it gently in an upright position facing upstream in fairly calm water. Move the fish slowly back and forth to get water moving though the gills. The fish can then be released in quiet water after it has regained its strength and is able to swim from your grip.
Anglers fishing in a water where bait fishing is allowed, and plan on releasing their fish, may consider using artificial flies or lures as survival of released fish is five to ten times greater using artificials as opposed to natural bait.
Information on procedure for releasing fish alive is also found on page 13 of the fishing regulations available at WGFD license agents or online at wgfd.wyo.gov.

Gathering Herefords
The other day, Tim needed to work calves. Marlboro Man and Tim hauled the kids and their horses around to the back side of the pasture so they could start gathering, then they drove back to the pens, rode out, and joined them.
See that muddy cow? She was stuck in the mud earlier in the morning—and I mean stuck. Marlboro Man and Tim had to (very gently, obviously) use the truck to pull her out…bless her little bovine heart.
She's doing just fine now! And she's going to have soft, supple hide on the lower 2/3 of her body because of the mud mask treatment she unwittingly received.
The Herefords have lots of calves right now, so they needed to get all the pairs to the pens, where they'd then separate them and work the calves.
It's a well-established fact that I love Herefords. I think they're the cutest cattle, the prettiest cattle, and the most talented, charming, and altruistic cattle on earth.
And they can juggle like there's no tomorrow.
Keeping the calves moving along is a little challenging.
They like to run here and there and test the waters of rebellion.
But that's what the cowboys (and cowgirls) are for.
See that shadow? He's the father of my children.
See those calves? They have no idea who their father is.
Could be any of a handful of very happy bulls.
Did you know bulls have a very high rate of job satisfaction?
Not sure if you knew that or not.
Give it up, baby! This guy's been doing this for about sixty-five years.
Josh has been doing it for about twenty-five.
Maybe twenty-seven.
I love this time of year. The air is cool and crisp, the sky is clear, the grass is bright green, and the cattle are happy.
Occasionally, when gathering pairs, it's necessary to hop off your horse and push the calves on foot.
When you come to a gate area, the calves often get pushed to the back. So getting down on their level and pushing them with your hands is more effective.
And you can get close enough to pat their bottoms.
You just hope they don't coincidentally decide to poop when you pat their bottoms.
That can get a little messy.
They'd gotten 'em all gathered!
And then they had to go right back out…
And do it again! My boy had to get off and push these stragglers on foot.
But it was only two miles from here to the pens.
This made for a long, long morning.
In other news, this makes me want a baby.
It's tough living in the country. Too many things to trigger the maternal instinct.

Love reading and see all the pictures of
the life on your ranch.
The pictures are so beautiful. Looks like a
really nice day in Oklahoma.
Thanks for letting us live the life of a rancher
for one day.
Kristi Rice On Friday, May 3 at 5:10 pm
Love the pics! Its beautiful out there now after all your weather. I love seeing your family work together, how rewarding!
Susan Cooper On Friday, May 3 at 5:25 pm
Awesome pictures. It is so amazing what it takes to run cattle. It gives me an new appreciation for the work involved. I do get that about triggers… spring does that to me also. LOL.
Nancy L On Friday, May 3 at 5:31 pm
We love herefords too! We raise them as well but on a MUCH smaller scale than you do. We only have 20 head. My 12-year-old daughter has started her own herd of herefords and is in love with them. She has one trained to give her a kiss (more like a lick) when she puckers her lips at it. Her goal is to own her own hereford farm when she gets out of college. On occassion we like to go for drives to look at hereford farms. I showed her these pictures and she started begging her dad if we could go for a drive to look at them. She was a little disappointed when I told her you live a little too far away from us to just go for a drive. We live in Iowa.
Lenore Reitz On Friday, May 3 at 5:50 pm
Can I come out and ride along with them?
Linda Warford On Friday, May 3 at 6:18 pm
I love your blog. You make my day when I read what you post! I love your sense of humor! Thanks!! Hey by the way I'd love to win a pair of boots sometime….hint hint..lol
Mary On Friday, May 3 at 6:19 pm
Thanks for sharing the pictures…they're great. And I love the detail of how the Herefords are worked.
Diane On Friday, May 3 at 6:26 pm
Your blog posts are such a blessing to me…they slow me down and cause me to relax and appreciate what God has given our family…that is what I see you doing…enjoying the life God has given you and celebrating the moments. Blessings to you and thank you for the encouragement!
Glenda S On Friday, May 3 at 6:26 pm
Love the photos. I live in Arkansas now, but I grew up in Osage County and they make me think of 'home.' Thanks for sharing with us!!
Gee On Friday, May 3 at 7:05 pm
Great photos, MM! I love seeing the daily work….and hearing PW's off the wall, original, creative and unexpected comments!!
Suzie G On Friday, May 3 at 8:02 pm
Ree I think your whole life is amazing. My husband came from a farming family (dairy cattle), and he always says farming is a tough life, but what would we do without all of you? I think you have hit an amazing balance-living in the middle of nowhere beautifully, with a gorgeous family that somehow manages to stay normal despite your amazing writing/blogging/TV career and the spotlight that puts on your family. Marlboro Man stays true to his heritage, despite the backbreaking work involved and I absolutely love it that the whole family is involved in the heavy lifting. Kudos to all of you, just love tuning in everyday and seeing what you all are doing.
ThinkingWoman On Friday, May 3 at 8:16 pm
It's good to see your girls have recovered from their sinus infections. Sinuses are the bane of human existence but necessary to store and filter all the junk we breathe, or our heads would explode!
Dale D On Friday, May 3 at 8:16 pm
Ree & Marlboro Man – Thanks for your ranch posts. I grew up on the farm (cattle/hogs/row crop) and my first job out of high school was working for my dad's livestock transportation business. Spent some time in KS/OK hauling feeder calves back to IA feedlots. Brings back some great memories for me. And, I'm a fan of Herefords, too…
Sharon On Friday, May 3 at 8:54 pm
My daddy always had Herefords or white faced cows as we called them. Our farm was along the South Canadian River, and those cows were forever getting stuck in the quicksand. It took several guys and horses and planks to release them. Fond memories looking at your pictures. I too think the Herefords are the most beautiful of all.
Linda Perkins On Friday, May 3 at 9:23 pm
Ree I loved the comment about how satisfied that your bulls are with their jobs. How funny. Loved the pictures as well. Thanks to MM for taking them. Love the horse ears.

Brynna On Friday, May 3 at 11:45 pm
I always love when you post about the ranch work. It's all just so beautiful.

Oh, so very true about too many things triggering maternal hormones! Springtime always does that to me as well! calves, lambs, chicks… all make me think how cute a #5 baby would be!
marilyn On Saturday, May 4 at 7:19 am
Just so ya know ….. you are living my dream life!! Sorry to shout. Not that I don't enjoy my own but you know that old saying about the grass always being greener? Love reading your blog and watching your show!
Bonnie On Saturday, May 4 at 7:42 am
My grandfather raised herefords from the Domino line,,I wonder if there are still Domino Herfords??
sweepea On Saturday, May 4 at 9:35 am
that pix of your oldest boy walking on foot made him look SO grown up, reminded me of his Papa! if times goes by this fast from here, it must really make you ache with four precious ones!!!
great family, great stories, thanks, REE!!!
Heidi K. On Saturday, May 4 at 10:31 am
Thank you for the ranch photos. I enjoyed seeing the photographer's shadow–camera in one hand, reins in the other. I can't take a photo with one hand even when I'm standing on level ground. Well done, Marlboro Man!
lori jones On Saturday, May 4 at 11:02 am
Marlboro Man did a fine job taking pictures!! thanks Man!!! hehe
Debi B On Saturday, May 4 at 11:08 am
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful family stories and your life in the country with all of us. It always puts a smile on my face:)
Laura in San Diego On Saturday, May 4 at 12:25 pm
The grass is SO green and beautiful!
At our happy-hour-with-the-neighbors-in-the-driveway last night I was telling all the ladies about how I read your blog everyday and long for life in the country.
My four year old (city girl who has never been on a horse in her life) wants to be a cowgirl when she grows up:)
susan On Saturday, May 4 at 12:32 pm
ah ha…….an altruistic cow. so funny.
Belinda Aguirre On Saturday, May 4 at 12:40 pm
Oh Ree, You crack me up. Your writing style is just for me. I laughed out loud about the part of MM being the father of your children…and then all those poor baby cows not knowing who their daddy was. hahahahhahha.
I read everything you write and end up making most everything you do. My family is loving YOU.
anniebreland On Saturday, May 4 at 1:52 pm
Love the pictures of ranch life. I know the kids don't think it is very fun right now but later in life they will remember the good times
Susan J. On Saturday, May 4 at 1:58 pm
You can tell MM that these are the best photos he's ever taken. I think he needs a camera of his own.
Sue On Saturday, May 4 at 4:46 pm
Thank you for the wonderful pictures and sharing your life. I love the Herefords best, too!
I personally don't understand the trend toward Angus these days. Enough horse pics in this post to satisfy – loved those pricked ears!
Jo C On Saturday, May 4 at 5:37 pm
I love your post Ree, I can't even think about how hard this to do on a daily basis. Your children are awesome.
Briget On Saturday, May 4 at 6:54 pm
Oh, Ree. I love these posts – particularly the pictures of working the cattle. It's a look into a life I'll never know. But you know what? I can do without – I think we can all do without – any more references to your gestation/lactating urges. Enough already. There are so many more interesting things to write about.Time to move on.
Stephanie Ciu On Saturday, May 4 at 8:45 pm
These posts always fascinate & amaze me. Thanks for sharing!
Kate @ Songs Kate Sang On Sunday, May 5 at 12:25 am
And I get winded walking on the treadmill for one hour… wow.
Chelsea On Sunday, May 5 at 1:21 am
I'm just going to put this all out there:
a) I'm jealous that your family gets to spend so much time riding.
b) I'm jealous that your family lives on such a beautiful ranch.
c) I'm jealous that you have such a beautiful family.
So I'm green with envy, but I love you all anyways!
PS. Pretty much everything makes me want to have another baby, so I know where you're comin' from.
Lissa On Sunday, May 5 at 8:22 am
Glad the girls are feeling better!
Munchiedog On Sunday, May 5 at 8:35 am
I am always so impressed how hard your children work and how hard they must sleep when they fall into bed at night! What a great life they have on the ranch.
Denise in Va On Sunday, May 5 at 8:52 am
Wow–beautiful–the cattle look good, the grass is greening up, I know you've had rain and the spring is off to a good start!
That muddy cow is lucky she got out — she was STUCK !
Ree, thanks for the pics and the lessons in how a well-run ranch works. I am learning a lot !
jenny On Sunday, May 5 at 9:26 am
Thanks for all the ranch stories! I sooo want to saddle up and help you!
Suzie Moore from Claremore On Sunday, May 5 at 12:42 pm
I have to tell you that I met your daughter, Alex, yesterday! She was so gracious! She allowed me to have my picture taken with her. She's much taller in person. Has she considered modeling?
Charla On Sunday, May 5 at 5:03 pm
I see a few black baldies in the bunch. I thought the only way to get a black baldie was to put a Hereford bull in with black cow. Do tell what is Marlboro man secret? Or is this one of those dumb things I should know?
Sara On Thursday, May 9 at 3:28 pm
There are a couple of ways to get black baldies…but most often they are a cross between a Hereford and an Angus, It wouldn't matter if the bull was Angus and the cows were Hereford or the other way around, Hereford bull and Angus cows. But, basically crossing a white faced cow of any breed with a black bull of any breed will get you a black baldy.
Liz in Southern OK On Sunday, May 5 at 5:25 pm
Fabulous photos! Hey, is that a brand spankin' new red bulk feeder? Did it replace the one that fell over in the soft mud? Shines like a beacon on the horizon. Was that intentional so you'll have a target to drive the cattle to? I use the term "you" loosely.
Nancy Seagle On Sunday, May 5 at 6:54 pm
The pictures are beautiful. I visit you all everyday. I love to see the animals. But this last week has been especially rough…I lost my beloved Cutie Handy Bar. She was my Quarter Horse. I had her almost 16 years of her 28. She was the beginning and the ending of my every day. The void…The emptiness is just about unbearable. She was my best friend. She knew all my secrets. Thanks for sharing all your animals.
SallyKally On Sunday, May 5 at 6:57 pm
So much fun reading about a life so different from mine. How old does a child have to be to be able to partake in a cattle drive like this? Just be a good rider? Do the calves only nurse with their own mothers? Do you have to keep track of which bull inseminated which female for genetic reasons? Could you even do that? Maybe you should give all of them a mud bath, or was that just a joke?
claudia On Sunday, May 5 at 9:35 pm
go for it while you still can. yall will need some help on the ranch once the older ones leave, besides, you and mm are still PYTs!!!!!!
Gr Ruth On Sunday, May 5 at 9:51 pm
Wow!! Friday was sure a day for letting it all hang out wasn't it? This all reminds me of my motherinlaw, her favorite saying was if you think it , you should say it, which seemed to work good for her but not so good if the other person had a thought. I personally love all of the pictures, and appreciate getting to see them. If you could see the poor cattle out here in western Kansas, with no rain , you would think Drummond cattle were on their way to a livestock show. Love you guys.
Fletcher R. On Monday, May 6 at 7:51 am
I love your posts! You make me wish we were bigger than a 1 cow operation lol! I agree the Herefords are really cute, but I just love my Irish Dexter
Lynn from For Love or Funny On Monday, May 6 at 8:04 am
Hi Ree,
I've always wondered if the momma cows get upset when they are separated from their babies. And if they do get upset, do they "moo" in consternation?
Farmer Jan On Monday, May 6 at 9:28 am
Nice cattle. I can hear the quiet… Just some animal sounds… Both human, cow and horse…
Marissa B On Monday, May 6 at 10:02 am
I am absolutely envious of the colors you have there. The spring green it amazing as is the blue sky. So much sun you have. Everything here is still drab. Overcast and muddy. I think there is some green somewhere, just can't appreciate it yet. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the rain as we are still playing catch up with our ponds.
Marsha Gulick On Monday, May 6 at 11:40 am
This is very interesting to me, because my hubby would like to have cattle one day. Not quite so many tho!
Misha On Monday, May 6 at 1:05 pm
I love the calves! I think we need to have a baby picture contest of these cuties!
Jamie LaRae On Monday, May 6 at 1:45 pm
I love the rain we are getting and how green it is! I am just ready for it to get a little warmed. I haven't started the garden yet because we keep having the cold nights.
dan's wife On Monday, May 6 at 3:34 pm
Happy Momma's Day, no matter the number of legs beneath her…
Barbara C On Monday, May 6 at 3:58 pm
I love to see the pics and read what is going on at your ranch.
Thank for doing that and publishing it for us.
Missy On Monday, May 6 at 5:12 pm
Ree, I love this! I just wish at the end you had said "in udder news"
ha! See what I did there? Happy Monday!
Brandy Barby On Monday, May 6 at 9:05 pm
I love working calves!! It is hard work but very enjoyable!
Vickie On Tuesday, May 7 at 7:38 am
I always have to chuckle when you talk about "working" the cattle. In my mind, I imagine you following them around with a cattle prod, like Aunt Bee, yelling at Otis to 'Get to it!'. (Andy Griffith fans will understand). So what, do you make them like hang out the laundry…wash the dishes…slop the hogs? Are Herefords good workers? Just pray they don't form a union!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful life with all of us who would love to live on a ranch, but wouldn't have a clue what to do with it. I love your sense of humor. It's kind of weird, like mine.
shannon On Tuesday, May 7 at 9:04 am
I have an ex-husband who said I was pretty like a Hereford. An ex-husband.
E.Q. On Tuesday, May 7 at 1:11 pm
Wow !
You brought back such wonderful memories. My kid life to 20, we were Ranchers, yes we raised Herefords, and quarter horses, Herefords will follow you around like puppies if you get into their minds and hearts. We didn't have to deal with the snow like you do, here in CA we don't have much.
I look at your pictures of the kids on horses to see how well the horses are doing the work of cutting the calves/cattle…..
Ladd takes great picture also, you must have been a great teacher for him……
Please keep these types of posts coming……
Just wish I was still on the ranch, but we must bloom where we are planted.
Laura @ the Beach On Tuesday, May 7 at 5:33 pm
Well, here's a question from a California girl/beach dweller (and by the way I love this blog and your posts, Ree). If those cute cows were Herefords, what were the black cows?
Eva On Tuesday, May 7 at 6:56 pm
Gorgeous pictures. I love the blue sky and the green grass…oh you are so lucky to have a view like that and it's all yours to enjoy every day.
Christine On Wednesday, May 8 at 2:59 pm
Love your pictures. Can't get enough of the beautiful Oklahoma countryside, even though Texas (where I live) isn't bad, either. One question: Where do you get your beautiful blouses?
Ernie On Saturday, May 11 at 2:59 am
Thank you for every other informative website. Where else may I am getting that kind of information written in such an ideal means?
I've a venture that I'm just now operating on,
and I have been on the glance out for such info.
Diane Knight On Tuesday, June 18 at 10:29 am
The other day I stopped by our local Kroger's grocery store to pick up some beef. It wasn't until today I noticed the fine print… product of Mexico. (Trust me, it was well hidden)
Then I see pictures of these beautiful Hereford's and I just shake my head.
With all the wonderful ranches in our country and their hard working American families, I can't believe beef from another country is even an option.
I only buy USA produce, meat and fish or I don't buy it at all. Guess it's back to the store to return it – lesson learned.

Federation of community forestry users of Nepal - FECOFUN
Established in 1995, FECOFUN is an autonomous, non-profit national federation of forest users which advocates for the rights of community forestry user groups. FECOFUN's membership stands at about 8 million people from almost all of Nepal's 75 districts, making it the most important civil society association in Nepal.
Major activities of FECOFUN include support to forestry user groups in the preparation and revision of constitution and operation plans, NTFP development and income generation, empowerment of women and disadvantaged groups, and advocacy on community forestry related issues.
Some outcomes of volunteers' work:
The Uniterra Program provides organizational capacity building support to FECOFUN as well as technical support in areas of FSC certification, NTFP enterprise development and marketing. In 2010-2011 the strategy of FSC certification for forestry cooperatives is continuing as 10 new cooperatives joined the 20 existing ones. Women now account for 50% of the membership in Forest Users Groups, a remarkable milestone in terms of gender equality.

Production form F30 3 series sedans have now hit the streets in force and we bring you the first look at a base F30 3 series. The F30 3 series models revealed at the reveal event two weeks ago were all examples of the upcoming F30 lines – Sport Line, Modern Line, and Luxury Line.
On the exterior, the blue F30 shows that a base trim model will differ from the "Line" models mostly in the lack of any extra front bumper adornments. This is also the … CONTINUED
We're happy to share the best spyhots of the F32 4 series coupe to date. Days after the first ever spotting of the F32 4 series coupe, our spies have caught another F32 prototype, this time in white.
Compared to the recently unveiled F30 3 series sedan, the 4 series coupe will have a more muscular and sleek appearance. The shoulder line at the rear quarter panel is more pronounced and the roofline lower. These shots also allow us a better look at the shape of the … CONTINUED

We're thrilled to post the world's first photos of the F32 3 series (or 4 series) coupe! Despite the heavy camouflage you can see a very sleek and sporty design. As usual for BMW coupes, there are frameless windows and a B-pillar for structural rigidity. There's a lot of camouflage around the rear windows so the shape of the window or the famous Hofmeister kink can't be made out yet.
We expect the F32 to get the same engines as the just-unveiled F30 3 series sedan, i.e. … CONTINUED

Well I know some questions have popped up about the three new lines being offered by BMW as options on the new F30 3-Series. I myself had quite a few questions, and here is a breakdown of what these lines are all about.
First and foremost, these lines are not the only 3 cars we can choose from. A 3-Series can be ordered as is and optioned how you want to option it, just as has always been with a BMW. These 3 "Lines" are just extra … CONTINUED
The 3-Series F30 Catalog is now available online for download, and its got details on all the goodies offered in the new trim levels including the new Sport Line, Modern Line and Luxury Lines.
One of the biggest stars of the reveal, and one noone was allowed to sit inside of had to be the 335i with the full M-Sport trim in stunning Estoril Blue II.

Voice of the people
'Holiday tree' is also offensive
What's with the "holiday tree" story for first responders in the Nov. 7 paper? It's a Christmas tree!
You people have taken this "politically correct" thing way too far. If someone is offended by "Christmas tree," too bad. I'm offended by the term "holiday tree."

Obamacare traces beginnings to fraud
Misguided Democrats and other misinformed Americans are becoming aware that Obamacare is not only unworkable, but that it is also the most pernicious fraud ever perpetuated on the American people. Conceived as the crown jewel of President Obama's plan to "fundamentally transform America," it became the last-ditch effort of a lame duck Democrat majority to rush health care reform into law before a newly elected Republican majority took control of the House of Representatives.
The act was cobbled together by Senate Democrats meeting in closed-door sessions from which Republicans were excluded. A Democrat majority, without a single Republican vote, hurriedly passed it in the dead of night, unread and without debate. The votes of reluctant Democrat Congressmen were garnered by offering them special deals that were nothing short of bribery. A generous Supreme Court upheld the Act, finding that a "penalty" for failing to buy health insurance was really a tax, thus a legitimate exercise of Congress's power to tax, despite Congress's denial of any intention to enact a tax.
President Obama has repeatedly assured the American people that Obamacare would allow them to keep their current health insurance, and would actually reduce their insurance premiums. But the facts are otherwise: Regulations issued under Obamacare have caused and will continue to cause millions of Americans to lose their health care insurance and has already caused a massive 41 percent increase in insurance premiums, plus higher deductibles, making health care insurance unaffordable to many Americans.
We now know that President Obama knew that his assurances were false when he made them. In other words, he deliberately lied to deceive the American people. No lies, deceptions, delays or tinkering will make this fraudulent legislation acceptable to the American people. Like Prohibition, it should be repealed and expunged from memory.

Where most of us work, insubordination is grounds for termination. If Benson instructed Loomis to have the "bounty" program stopped, and he took no action to stop it, then he should be terminated. If having "good" character is critical in player evaluation for this team it should be no less critical for the front office. As a long time Saints fan, this is more embarrassing than any loss we have ever experienced. Benson do he right thing here and clean house!!
Montez Billings
I would start Montez before signing this "Past His Prime" - "Diva" - "Future Hall Of Famer".
Me too. I'll bring the Jambalaya!!!
Just hope those big runs up the middle are not on our new and improved front 4!!!
Sports hernia when he is not even practicing??? Not Good!!
We are putting our roster together for scabs that will be starting the season in 2011. Signing John Fourcade tomorrow!!
I would like to see him be a wide receiver. After 5 years we know he is NOT a running back.
I'll take our Saintsations over any girl with the name "COW" in it any day!! The Who Dat Nation has "THE Prettiest ladies!!
Completely Agree!!!
Completely Agree!!!
To answer this question just look at out defense after our 2 corners went down. Opponents run production went WAY up. That # 1 draft pick last year looks smarter every week. Like the coach said you can't have too many corners. Now we have to "coach'em up" and get them ready.
Looks like Singletary has put a lot of THOUGHT into this week's game plan. Also if you hate your job try having this reporter's job. Finally someone grab the XANAX and give it to the coach...it is Singletary's "Juicyfruit"!!
I voted Ms Gator. I used to live in Bossier City and hated that we could not watch the Saints. Local stations need to look at a map and see the state they reside in. Good Luck!!

Here is what Chris Steuber (Scout.com NFL Draft Analyst) says about Arnoux:
"Arnoux is an undersized linebacker who has great speed and athleticism. His production wasn't great at Wake Forest. He's a solid tackler and good in coverage, but he was a bit of a reach in the fourth round. I thought gave him a seventh round grade, but I guess his 4.56 in the 40 at the Combine helped his stock".
Great Pick...Now to complete the rebuild of the secondary we need to cut J. David!!!
Drew is correct. That is not the way the NFL Season Passing record deserves to be broken. When Dan Marino passed for 5084 yards his team went 14-2, and he took is team to the Super Bowl. Drew had an outstanding season, but the team was 8-8, finished last in the division, and did not make the playoffs.
The NFL's most prestigious records should be broken by a quarterback who is part of a COMPLETE team. A team that can at least win it's division. A team that can at least have a winning season. A team that can at least make the playoffs.
Before Drew will ever be in the position to REALLY improve on what Marino did in 1984 he will need some help on defense. The Saints owner, management, and coaches owe it to Drew to build that defense immediately.

The biggest difference I notice between "Life Turns Electric" and their previous album "Them Vs. You Vs. Me" is a lack of funk and raw energy. It seems that has been traded for solid hard rock that sticks to what you would expect.

The album is an enjoyable listen that stays away from the fluff and filler that often plague alternative rock bands. For fans of Canadian rock, Finger Eleven is the next logical step from "that other band."

It's a fair assumption that Finger Eleven signifies a personal victory for this Canadian quintet, but only time will confirm its prophecy of a new dawn for this well-intentioned group.

Recipe by STELLY
"A refreshingly sweet and tangy blend. Especially good when cooked on the grill and served with a mild fish such as tilapia. If you are grilling fish, the salsa can be cooked on the grill at the same time and served over the fillets."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

nectarines, pitted and chopped
1/4 medium
red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup
balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon
white sugar
1/2 teaspoon
dried cilantro
1/2 teaspoon
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Absolutely FANTASTIC! Honestly, I liked it enough that I ate it straight up with a spoon. The tang of the balsamic with the sweet of the fruit plus the sharp onoins really is an incredible mix!
Looking over this recipe, the amount of balsamic vinegar didn't make sense. So I cut the amount in half--and it was STILL too much vinegar...plus, it lacked complexity--the cilantro and balsamic don't play well together, ime, and it was missing some heat. (Maybe some pepper flakes?) It wasn't awful, but wouldn't make this again.

I liked this quite a bit, but my boyfriend wasn't a big fan. We served it over rice as an accompaniment to the Oaxacan Tacos you can find on this site. The vinegar taste is a little strong, I think. Since we have some left over, though, it might be good on top of bruschetta.
I doubled the recipe for all ingredients except balsamic vinegar. I used a pear infused balsamic, fresh cilantro and dried cranberries after it cooled. The salt and pepper really balanced the sweetness of the nectarines. I served it with poached salmon. Delish!
This is really awesome! I left out the cilantro cuz we don't like it, but we didn't miss it! I did not cook it, left it fresh. Really good with the balsamic vinegar, more like a relish, but my son added hot taco sauce to his when we put it on steak tacos with freshly fried corn shells, and it was just SO good! I think it would be good with any type of meat, grilled food, fish, Mexican, whatever! Now I know what to do with those nectarines that aren't ripe and sweet when I bring them home from the store...
Love this! I never use the sugar or cilantro and would agree that about 1/2 of the balsamic is all that's needed. Also great over fish using other fruit such as apples!
I followed the directions exactly but my finished product looks nothing like the photo. How do you tell if your nectarines are lightly browned when they are covered in dark brown vinegar? This salsa was better before I cooked it. If I make this again I will cut way down on the balsamic vinegar. It was still tasty.
I followed recipe precisely and was disappointed. No tang. I think what was missing ,as a I had a dud red onion. Just the right amount of balsamic, Had no onion flavor. Will try again with another red onion, hopefully sharper..

I'm guessing it's a bit like trying to explain exactly what a particle accelerator Does, and what they're using it for to, say, my Mum. There's nothing more fun than trying to explain something complicated to someone who really doesn't get it.
Particularly when you don't fully understand it either. This sounds like someone who knows the basic uses of a computer trying to explain not only HOW a computer works, but WHY, and to someone that expects him to know everything just because he knows more than they do.
An ignorant person is someone who has just found out what you already know

I just go along with it like Jim does…
I agree…My imagination thinks that their clothing is stored in a magical closet floating somewhere in the universe…My imagination does not make sense…
Not all that far-fetched from a scientific standpoint.
Well, theoretical science notwithstanding, but it's still theoretically possible!
Tim: "Look, all you have to know is that it isn't a transformation; it's just identical to one in every conceivable way to the point where there is no viable explanation for it being anything else. It's just like what happens when the author of a story REALLY INSISTS on abusing terminology that is clearly improper for the topic because it evokes the emotional connotations she wants – it's best to separate the data from the premise and move on."
Do I detect a smattering of Pratchettness?
