Results Trent XC 2011
- Queens Univ XC Kingston, Sept 10th:
It was a day of firsts for the 2011 Trent Cross Country team at the Queens Invitational race this past Saturday – the first time a relay format was used in the OUAs; the first time Trent fielded four full teams, even the first time the race was held in warm weather.
Each runner ran a 5 Km loop, then handed off to the next runner. The top team was the Trent women's 'Green' team, led by Tay Sills' sizzling 20 min .07 second run, closely followed by Carrie Van Hie's 20:12 time. With Kayte Kowal and Hannah Lynch, the team placed 7th of 12.
"That result indicates a turnaround in Trent's fortune," said coach Dave Kervin, in that we have a number of good early results to build on."
The 'White' team of Alannah Drake, Hanna Mae Silk , Monica Farlowe and Bukki Adejobi was 11th.
The mens' sides saw 20 teams, with Trent Green finishing 10th. Connor Bolton blazed a 17 min 15 second time, followed by Nick Borek's 17:56, and Dan Cain's 18:07. Ian Boyce rounded out the squad.
The mens' White of Brodi Robinson, Francis Dobri, Matt Forget, and Vincenzo Minicucci was 18th.

- Vic Mathews Open Guelph, October 16th
In probably the top race ever run on the former national championship course at the Arboretum, the champions came out in full force with Olympians and national champions leading the way. In windy and rainy conditions, the weather gave the athletes the full 'cross country experience', as wind gusted up to 80 km an hour.

Score: 23/30
Although Neil Whitaker said there room had serious 'Wow factor', the judges weren't won over by Brad and Lara's ensuite.
"The tiles on the floor are the cheapest, nastiest tiles," judge Shaynna Blaze pointed out during Room Reveal.
But despite these comments, Brad and Lara are sticking with their choice.
"I wanted white tiles," Lara explains. "And they weren't cheap! We spent a lot trying to clean them – I don't know [why they hated them]."
In fact, the couple have no idea why they lost out on their first room win to Mike and Andrew – especially as the boys didn't present a totally finished room.
"We are really happy with our room – we absolutely love it!" Brad says.
"This is one of the rooms we earmarked that we really wanted to try and win. We put all our ideas in this one room, so to not win is disappointing."
The couple went out on a limb, presenting a walk-in robe rather than fitted wardrobes. It was a risky strategy, but one they say they're pleased they managed to execute.
"We changed the whole layout of the room," Brad says. "We said before we came in that we weren't going to second-guess the judges. If we owned it, we were going to do what we would normally do. We're doing things because we like it, and hopefully that comes across."
What they love: Their custom-built walk-in robe and their window treatments, "We have electrical blinds," says Brad excitedly.
What they did best: "We can't be judged on space, but I think we used it well," says Lara.
Finishing touches: The couple went out of their way to make sure they had everything finished to a high standard. "Brad spent a lot of time putting our towel rails on, making sure we had a finished room," Lara says.

Got to base of ridge at 4.30am, still dark. Climbed a corner (trickiest bit with no torch) for a few hundred feet then easy scrambling up to ridge. Not sure if I started from the right point but had scrambled along coast from the beach as far as I could easily go.
Good fun along the ridge, impressive drop down to the sea. Trashed my trainers which were not the correct for wear.
Helpful to follow the cairns down to the path between Porto Pollensa and Cals San Vicenc.
5 hours car to car.

Very exposed in parts. Did the traverse of the rock tower which was trick in parts.simonscubadiver - Solo - 20/Oct/12 with Sandra Davidson
Only did the Western half - as described in the Cicerone guide and bottled the rock tower even though we had some gear with us (the 300m drop was too much for my nerves, so took the ledge route). Amazing views, but very slow going with virtually no easy ground. Only the downclimb was technically difficult (grade 2?) the rest was just physical. Ran out of water, was a bit of a epic.Oujmik - Solo - May/12 with Jyoti
3rd time (April '99 JCB and 05 'YAC). Whole ridge from the end blob overlooking the sea. Bit meandering getting to the start but eventually found the cairns. Once we started it all came back, awkward pull round nose and chossy gully!). Did the tower by the plaque this time as well (easy yellow slab and wall above left of the hole) Didn't rush but car to bar time of about 7 hours was quite good, hot but not desperate (unlike '05!) lithos - Solo - 05/Apr/11 with Peri, julie

On holiday in the area walked up onto the ridge to see what it was like. Found it a great scramble with rough, grippy rock. Bottled the tower direct and ended up traversing along the south side which was probably no easier, just less exposed. Found the aggressive vegetation more trouble than the rock so tended to stick to rock where possible.crowberry gully - Solo - Oct/02

KENTWOOD, Mich. (WZZM) -- Police are laying out the timeline of events leading up to and following the murder of a couple in their Kentwood home.
David and Vivian Bouwman were found dead Saturday in their home in the 2200 block of Stowevalley Drive SE. Police say they were likely killed during a home invasion.
Detectives say the Bouwmans last spoke to a family member around 6:45 p.m. Friday night. Between 3-4 a.m. Saturday, neighbors reported hearing barking dogs and other noises.
Around 10 a.m. Saturday, witnesses reported a Cadillac DeVille on fire in an apartment complex in the 3800 block of Madison Avenue SE in Wyoming. Police discovered the car belonged to the Bouwmans. Officers believe the person or people who were in the couple's home stole the car and left it burning in the Wyoming complex.
A witness says she and her boyfriend spotted the car on fire and saw a man running away.
"He had this orange bucket," said the woman. "I guess whatever was in the bucket what was made the car set on fire."
Acting on the report of the burning car, Kentwood Police officers went to the Bouwmans' home, but left after no one answered the door.
The officers returned to the home around 11 a.m. Saturday after neighbors reported footsteps in the snow around the home. Police then discovered a broken rear window to the home and the Bouwmans' bodies.
Neighbors held a vigil to remember the couple Tuesday evening at Pinewood Park in the Princeton Estates subdivision.

Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was a great mathematician and a great
physicist, and he was probably the most incisive thinker ever known. He
chiefly established that natural phenomena generally follow
determinate mathematical laws in demonstrating consistent laws of
motion, of gravity and of other phenomena. He produced his 'black
box' theory of science as allowing only proving how things happen but not necessarily
allowing proving alternative theories of why things happen like Einstein's theory.
Of course the classic 'black-box' was a thing that hides stuff from view and so prevents explanation, but perversely a 'black-box' has now become a thing
that records stuff for later viewing and so provides explanation and which would be better called a 'white-box' !?
Newton may have seen his blackbox physics as simply a more rigorous logical requirement of experimental science, from William Gilbert's earlier requirement that science could not go beyond what can be deduced directly from experience and experiment. Though supported by some other physicists, and by George Berkeley in his 1721 De Motu, Newton's black-box physics has been very wrongly 're-interpreted' by many including Einstein as a Cartesian 'dead-matter plus ether or forcefield' why-physics. Newton's main works were his Latin 1687 Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, and The Opticks published in English in 1704 and in Latin in 1706.
Though Newton had earlier tried to develop a Descartes-like
mechanical physics, his major theory work seems to have involved
combining laws of force and motion in mechanics with a Gilbert-like
attraction theory, to develop laws of gravitational orbital motion
around 'centres of force'. Newton saw gravity as governing the
motions of the celestial bodies as well as of apples falling from
trees. He used the 'force' terminology perhaps more readily
associated with Galileo-Descartes mechanics AND the 'attraction'
terminology associated often with William Gilbert attraction
theory, and allowed that gravity might be due to unseen signals
acting across empty space in line with Gilbert's physics OR might be
caused by the impact force of unseen ether particles or fluid in line
with Descartes' physics. But privately Newton certainly seems to have favoured Gilbert action-at-distance signal physics
so Newtonian physics cannot be really understood unless you have first studied William Gilbert's 'De Magnete' or 'On The Magnet'.
Hence, in the Principia final Scholium to Book 1 Section 11(or X1), after showing that planet orbits can be explained by some centripetal force directed towards the sun, Newton concludes that the existence of gravity as a property of bodies can be deduced from the proven existence of magnetism as a property of bodies ;
"These propositions naturally lead us to the analogy there is between centripetal forces, and the central bodies to which those forces used to be directed ; for it is reasonable to suppose that forces that are directed to bodies should depend on the nature and quantity of those bodies, as we see they do in magnetical experiments."
Yet also in this scholium Newton states that he is not committing to any particular manner of operation of 'at-a-distance' forces or of 'contact' forces.
"I here use the word attraction in general for any endeavour, of what kind soever, made by bodies to approach each other ; whether (as Gilbert) that endeavour arise from the action of the bodies themselves as tending mutually to or agitating each other by spirits emitted ; or whether (as Descartes etc) it arises from the action of the aether or of the air or of any medium whatsoever whether corporeal or incorporeal any how impelling bodies placed therin towards each other. In the same sense I use the word impulse, not defining in this treatise the species or physical qualities of forces but investigating the quantities and mathematical proportions of them"
Clearly to Newton bodies moved, but experiment could not decide if they were actually being pushed by others or moving themselves - there is no evidence to decide between dead matter and active matter or between 'A moves B', and 'B moves itself in response to A'. (Modern science-english translation would not be 'spirits emitted' but maybe 'incorporeal emissions', 'energy emissions', 'incorporeal agitating emissions' or 'force signal emissions'. But in the General Scholium ending his Principia he does indicate a maybe less scientific view on 'spirits' within bodies reacting to such emissions ?)
Of course this conclusion was not accepted by many physicists (who Newton noted in Principia's introduction to Book 3, had "prejudices to which they had been many years accustomed"), and was maybe too difficult for Einstein or anyone else to address. But Newton saw his laws of science as correctly predicting natural events without needing to know why things happened, in the manner of 'black box' behaviour laws that relate only inputs or stimuli to outputs or responses without considering any mechanisms connecting them. Newton considered hypotheses regarding currently unseens as being matters of philosophy or logic and not science, and not currently provable or disprovable by science. Newton concluded that though he had disproved substantial elements of Galileo-Descartes mechanical physics, like ether vortex motion gravity and motion tides, some modification of a mechanical ether theory might correctly explain gravity, magnetism, electricity and light. But Newton himself seemingly preferred to use Gilbert-style attraction theory in thinking about physics, which he also seemingly thought might more likely correctly explain gravity and some or all other forces.
Newton's considerations on Descartes push-physics as against Gilbert response attraction physics is maybe best put in his Principia Book 3 Rule 3. Here he first shows how we can reason that matter has solidity and exclusive-space-occupancy, then how "we must universally allow that all bodies whatsoever are endowed with a principle of mutual gravitation." Then he concludes that the argument is stronger for the universal gravitation of all bodies than for their impenetrability. But in finding that Gilbert-like physics was somewhat more likely the true option, Newton concluded that the evidence did not exist to decide between the two theories and might well never exist, continuing with "In bodies we see only their figures and colours, we hear only the sounds, we touch only their outward surfaces, we smell only the smells, and taste the savours : but their inward substances are not to be known either by our senses or by any reflex act of our minds" - Newton could see no evidence for Descartes 'certain knowledge'. He basically concluded that the evidence did not exist to decide between taking 'mass' as the measure of the size and pushability of bodies or as the measure of bodies' ability to produce and respond to gravity signals - though he seems clearly to have privately favoured the latter. But of some interest Newton's scholium words above also allow that INCORPOREAL bodies or media might either excite responses from matter or might somehow push matter though lacking any push property in Cartesian physics.
While many physicists see explaining 'at-a-distance forces' like magnetism and gravity as more problematic than explaining 'contact forces' like collision, Gilbert and Newton saw explaining both types of forces as being equally problematic. Unlike Descartes they saw trusting logical deduction or human senses to always give direct 'certain knowledge' as being unscientific - to them 'contact' could be 'small-separation' and everything really needs rigorous experimental proof, even if at that time or any time such is not possible. And mostly experimental science should be proving what is more probably true, rather than what is true. Proofs of substantial distances may often be more reliable than proofs of zero distances which commonly require the unproven assumption that what is not visibly large must be zero, doubtful even before microscopes. There is no good scientific proof of the actual existence of any kind of 'contact push force' though such forces may seem to exist. And a majority of scientists insisting on push-physics when the facts demonstrated by Gilbert and Newton made it very doubtful was 'science prejudice' prevailing against Newton sense - as it still does now in 2015 with Brian Cox talking nonsense about Newton on TV in England as supposed science.
Newton spent a great amount of time doing experiments in optics, magnetism and materials chemistry though he published more about theory. He did useful work on light and sound, and produced a theory of fluids that solved problems of fluids in movement and of motion through fluids. This he applied to Descartes' supposed unseen universal fluid ether, in which many physicists came to believe, but Newton disproved substantial aspects of that and he never conceded any kind of mediating ethers nor indeed signals as proven entities though granting that action-at-a-distance needed some kind of mediation. He did in his 'Opticks' and elsewhere use both ether explanation and attraction explanation to help clarify his new physics ideas, especially for physicists who supported either one of such explanations and their 'unseens'. Many at the time saw Newton as developing Gilbert's theory which supporters of Descartes' Cartesian push-physics had made very unpopular by name-calling only, but one of Newton's great originalities was in his seeing particular explanations as unnecessary to science and seeing hypotheses on unseens as being unscientific - and being the first clear proponent of a blackbox science simply predicting everything. Copernicus, Galileo and others had earlier done some black-box science, but excluded explanation only either as being more politic or as to be perhaps done later.
Mathematics was also advanced by Newton's work on calculus, which many of his peers falsely claimed was stolen from Leibniz though there was evidence of the opposite. But Newton's science was presentationally mathematical and distinctly in the style of Euclid, though Newton always required that experimental facts must be decisive in science and not mere logical deduction or mathematics alone. And of course Newton's published physics mathematics was, like Gilbert's and most early mathematics, presented geometrically rather than algebraically.
Newton was the chief proponent of defined mathematical behaviour laws with undefined-explanation 'black-box science', maybe chiefly because he could see no way to certainly decide or prove between the alternative Gilbert and Descartes physics explanations ('Newton's Dilemma') or between equivalent alternative explanations of light. If different theories could fit the same mathematics then maybe they were either really the same theory or were compatible image theories and descriptions that only appeared different. Newton did convince a few other scientists of his time into favouring Black Box physics that could predict everything without relying on explanations, as being the best physics possible as long as there were no proven physics theories without unseens. But explanation-theory retained its popularity among scientists and was even credited to Newton ironically. Black-box theory was maybe fine while nature was seen as being relatively simple, but it perhaps looked less intelligible when nature became seen as being more complex - so it could be argued that defined explanation is then needed to help make a theory more understandable ? Or maybe some correct science theory cannot be understandable to many anyway ? Of course a science theory cannot be only a bare mathematics with no physical meaning, but it can be a mathematics whose physical meaning is not fully uniquely defined.
Newton did not well explain his two explanation-physics options, nor refer people to Descartes and Gilbert for such explanations, but most of his peers believing him to support Gilbert's physics did not want Newton saying so. Newton undoubtedly knew how badly Gilbert's earlier physics theory had been treated, and correctly expected that a theory substantially based on it would likely be equally badly received especially if it referred to Gilbert. Of course Newton giving little explanation allowed many to misunderstand or misrepresent Newton's physics as still holds today. It certainly appears that Newton knew of Gilbert's main experiments on magnetism and static electricity, and that he himself replicated some of those experiments. But he seems to not have had any substantial teaching of Gilbert and to not have done any substantial study of Gilbert. Unusually at least two of Newton's acquaintances, including Hooke, supported Gilbert's physics theory to at least some extent rather than the more popular Cartesian physics theory - but it is not clear if they influenced eachother in that respect. It is probable that had Newton studied Gilbert properly then he could have developed his own physics further than he did ? (maybe someone still has evidence connecting Newton to Gilbert or Gilbertian ideas ?)
Newton did try publishing one short paper on a part of his optics work submitted in 1672 to the Royal Society. This first paper was a small correct non-theory technical paper on colours, colour aberration and Newton's new reflecting telescope - fully proving all that it said. But amazingly the eminent physicist peer Robert Hooke immediately tried to stop the Royal Society publishing this first paper of Newton, and himself published a ridiculous factually-wrong criticism of it that was widely backed. In reply to Newton rightly defending his paper in 1675 an angry Robert Hooke threatened to form his own Royal Society, yet it was widely said that Newton was unreasonable! www.newtonproject.sussex.ac.uk/view/texts/normalized/NATP00006 Then in 1684 Gottfried Leibniz after visiting Newton and seeing some of his maths began publishing some of Newton's key mathematics as his own, but by 1690 many were claiming that Newton had stolen Leibniz maths. Newton decided against publishing further papers, and though he held a higher opinion of some earlier thinkers like Euclid, he was very wary of putting his own ideas to most of his peers. With a few minor mostly anonymous exceptions and private letters to a few friends, Newton waited until he could publish his science himself complete in book form - his Principia in 1687 and his Opticks in 1704. And when they were very badly received by largely Descartes-supporter peers of whom Newton held a low opinion, Newton finished with science and took the job of running the British Mint. Attraction physics was rubbished as being anthropomorphic, with silly claims that it required all matter to have eyes, minds and legs - ridiculous claims that themselves involve anthropomorphic thinking. (Gravity being simple can clearly need only the simplest response, and the relative nature of attraction theory really gave it more scientific power.) And Newton's black-box theory was soon simply ignored as though it did not exist.
To quote 'A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball, on Newton -
" His theory of colours and his deductions from his optical experiments were at first attacked with considerable vehemence. The correspondence which this entailed on Newton occupied nearly all his leisure in the years 1672 to 1675, and proved extremely distasteful to him. Writing on December 9, 1675, he says, `I was so persecuted with discussions arising out of my theory of light, that I blamed my own imprudence for parting with so substantial a blessing as my quiet to run after a shadow.' Again, on November 18, 1676, he observes, `I see I have made myself a slave to philosophy; but if I get rid of Mr.Linus's business, I will resolutely bid adieu to it eternally, excepting what I do for my private satisfaction, or leave to come out after me; for I see a man must either resolve to put out nothing new, or to become a slave to defend it.' "
(see www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Newton/RouseBall/RB_Newton.html)
A majority of Newton's peers were strong Descartes push-physics supporters who would not consider alternative theories, and especially would not consider the old enemy Gilbert attraction theory. They saw Newton as an anti-Descartes Gilbert theorist and believed that Newton's blackbox position was just a fraudulent cover to disguise his backing for the hated Gilbert theory. The minority of Newton's peers who would reasonably consider alternative theory ideas, mostly took Newton at face value as supporting blackbox theory and not attraction theory - and only few of them accepted black-box theory. Nobody other than Newton gave any real consideration to attraction theory, not even to attempt disproofs of it. And Newton himself produced no disproofs of it, only disproofs of parts of Descartes mechanical physics which suffered from more rigid requirements as do many other physics theories. Newton firmly held to his blackbox-science line dividing scientific knowledge from non-scientific knowledge - with religion and explanations of gravity and other forces being areas of great interest outside science.
Newton privately seemingly tried unsuccessfully to develop his attraction physics effluvia/emitted-spirits theory by much experimenting on novel and new materials that only chemistry could produce, additional to his published experiments in magnetism and optics which latter led to his invention of the modern reflecting telescope. His private non-catholic religious ideas were seemingly much more specific and detailed than those of catholic Descartes, but his published attraction theory emitted-spirit ideas were less developed than Gilbert's published effluvia ideas. And chemistry then was still being called alchemy.
Newton like Gilbert became acclaimed as a great scientist, while the theories of both were rejected without disproof (much later Einstein did produce his 'disproof of Newton' which was eagerly accepted with nobody looking closely at exactly what theory was supposedly being disproved). The failure of Gilbert and Newton theory among physicists was not reflected among non-physicists, so that even today most people see their signal-attraction physics theory as correctly explaining magnetism and gravity. A caricature of part of Newton's physics theory became acclaimed somewhat slowly, with his real theory rejected with Gilbert's by the mob of scientific pigmy peers - and that process passed into physics history continues still now. Or maybe, being really generous, it could be said that the world was just not really ready to look at a physics that was not some simple mechanical push physics - and maybe the world is still not ready ?! Additional to fierce Catholic church opposition to early science, some opposition to early science (most often somehow directed at Newton) has been non-religious philosophical opposition as from some poets, artists and philosophers including Yeats and Goethe. Certainly it remains rare today to find an even half-reasonable view of Newtonian physics outside of this website.
For comparison with other physics theories, Newton's three laws of
motion were ;
1. Every body will remain at rest, or in a uniform state of motion unless acted upon by a force.
2. When a force acts upon a body, it imparts an acceleration proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body and in the direction of the force.
3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction OR the mutual actions of two bodies on each other are equal and opposite.
Newton's view of 'a force acting' allowed of either some kind of
Descartes 'dead-matter' push action or Gilbert 'robot-matter'
signal attraction action from another body. It requires the existence of 1.a force from one body AND 2.a second body
acted upon by the force, with the actions of each being relative to each other.
He is maybe here not clear enough that his 'force' gives RELATIVE change of
motion, relative acceleration, rather than giving absolute change of motion and
that all motion is DIRECTIONAL or vectoral. While push-physics requires all forces to be directly
associated with an originating body, attraction physics allows some forces to
exist in signals separated from an originating body though allowing that the signals
themselves may be some kind of body. But for both, forces acting need BOTH
an originating body AND a body acted on and forces persist (as with collision,
spring and gas-pressure forces) for only as long as they are opposed. Also to Newton,
two equal and opposite forces produce equal and opposite accelerations giving no motion so
that force acceleration change acts primarily over time and not always also over distance or space. Newton did
with substantial success mathematise Gilbert attraction physics in these respects.
But the spacetime vectoral mathematics later developed by Minkowski would maybe
better suit it than being wasted on some merely geometrical physics.
Current mainstream physics commonly seems to say that the gravitational force between two bodies in Newton's physics is given by the formula F=G((m1m2)/r²)) which may imply that their mutual attraction is proportional to the product of their masses. But a pebble doubled in mass does not fall to the ground at double the acceleration, showing only an infinitesimal increase. Though now used as an approximation for mutual gravitation in terrestrial gravitation for masses tiny compared to Earth's mass, this mainstream 'mis-equation' is only about the hypothetical one-way effect of one gravitational mass on another inertial mass and might better reflect the physics, and Newton, as F=Gm1(m2/r²). And, as Newton required, the mutual attraction of two bodies is the simple sum of the gravities of each. This mere force addition may seem to some to undermine mutual causation, though push action-reaction mere force addition may not seem to undermine mutual causation there. Newton did use an explicitly stated approximation for calculating the gravity of actual objects by taking the objects as zero-size point objects rather that their actual size. He concluded that experiment proved that using such center-of-gravity points commonly gives an adequate accuracy for gravity calculations, and does not give infinite gravity where two bodies touch as some still falsely claim.
There is often some misunderstanding of Newton's third law of motion - action and reaction or mutual actions being equal and opposite. Does this merely state that the inertia of a body will oppose any force applied to it ? Push reactions can seem simply explained as due to inertia plus exclusive-space-occupancy in a Galileo-Descartes type push-physics. So when A pushes on B with some force-action, B's inertia then pushes back on A with an equal and opposite force-reaction - if bodies actually can contact and push. (What determines the extent to which A and B actually accelerate here, is then the strength of the forces on each relative to the strength of their inertias.) But the equality and oppositeness of attractions or repulsions of bodies separated by some distance may seem to rule out the inertia of B causing any reaction force on A, and somehow require some different action-mutuality so that if A attracts B with some force-attraction then B must attract A with an equal and opposite force-attraction. And for a 'remote-control robot', the 'remote' body can send a signal that causes a physical action in the 'robot' body without there being any physical reaction on the 'remote' body. Newton showed that his laws of motion do apply to gravitating bodies far apart, but was maybe less clear as to exactly how they applied then.
Cartesian physics and all subsequent forms of contact-physics including Einstein's require contact action-reaction to involve zero space separation and imply zero reaction time - ie instantaneous reaction (though zero is not measurable or provable in science experiment). But all Gilbert-Newton attraction physics requires action-reaction to involve positive space separation which implies positive reaction time however small - ie non-instantaneous reaction. Of course opponents of Gilbert-Newton attraction physics have repeatedly falsely claimed the opposite holds, and still do - they nonsensically claim that 'Gilbert-Newton attraction physics requiring instantaneous reaction disproves that physics' !! But some of Newton's physics can seem to assume or require near-instantaneous reactions to forces or near-simultaneous action and reaction - though he nowhere makes even that a specific requirement. But if one (Cartesian) body collides with a second such body then they clearly collide at the same instant and the 2 bodies will seemingly exert collision forces on each other at the same instant, and give equal and opposite changes of momentum to the 2 bodies. Similarly instantaneous reaction also seems required by all push-field or push-continuum theories.
Given an observer body and another body, an observer body clearly generally detects motion in the other body only relative to its own motion and generally detects its own motion only relative to the motion of the other body so that no motion can be determined as being absolute motion. From that it follows that generally neither can absolute motion energies be determined. Laws of relative motions, relative energies and relative forces alone can generally be determined. But if an observer body has some indeterminate motion then other bodies nearby may well share that same motion. And any net motion can be viewed a sum of several different component motions so that any uniform motion might be viewed as composed of (or include) cancelling opposite accelerations, and a motion uniform for a time might yet be begun and/or ended with accelerations. But a net uniform motion can seem to be a net acceleration motion, or viceversa, to an observer body that itself has some appropriate motion. A body can be at rest or in uniform motion when a force is acting on it, only if it is acted on also by some second exactly equal and opposite force. And motion energies, or kinetic energies, are subject to similar requirements.
For an overview of a 'Gilbert-Newton' view of gravity and like forces see The Attraction Theory of gravity and other forces.
The chief evidence of the operation of most physical laws of
nature is found in different motions, as considered in the studies
of many concerning physics such as Galileo, Gilbert, Kepler,
Descartes, Newton and Einstein.
The perseverance of much natural motion like planet orbits helped convince Gilbert and Newton that space offers no resistance to, or drag on, the motion of bodies in it - and cannot affect bodies motion. But both Descartes and Einstein assumed that space can somehow push bodies and so also drag on bodies motion. The perseverance of natural planet orbits seems to some to require at least some steady force such as gravity. However, natural orbits and spins to some seemed like rest and uniform straight line motion in requiring no force to maintain them. And some even thought that uniform straight-line motion does need a force to maintain it.
Spin or rotation of a body about a central fixed point within itself, is commonly considered as for a 'perfectly solid body' or 'uni-part' body though no multi-atom body may actually be such so perhaps little is really known of actual solid body spin. Spin is physically similar to the circular motion of bodies about an external point, as of the Earth and Mars about the Sun, called orbiting or orbital revolution. Both are non-uniform motions that require forces to maintain them as well as to change them - but some forces can be persistent, like the Sun's gravity, and can be internal to a body or a system. If any multi-part object or system held together by limited forces is made to spin fast enough then its parts will fly apart. A 'perfectly solid body' is generally now taken as having parts held together by some infinite force, though short-range strong forces may actually be involved and Descartes-type physics perhaps unreasonably assume some 'uni-part' bodies needing no holding-together forces.
Some natural uniform motion velocities are probably central-attraction escape velocities and probably include atomic escape velocities of which the 'velocity of light' may well be an example. Other major natural uniform motion velocities certainly include those for wave transmission through mediums as for the 'velocity of sound'.
Another basic type of natural motion is deflection or reflection, as where the path of motion of something moving is changed when it meets another object - eg when a moving ball meets a wall or when a light ray meets a mirror. One possible explanation of some or all reflections is contact collision, of two things being unable to occupy the same space so that the parts of any motions directed to occupying the same space have their direction reversed. A second possible explanation of some or all reflections is proximity repulsion, as bodies increasingly repel each other as the distance between them falls. Interestingly for light reflection Newton suggested the further possible explanation of post-contact proximity attraction, where a surface strongly attracts something passing into it and pulls it back out of it. Such case of attraction mimicking repulsion might even also offer an explanation of apparent universe expansion. Of course it is maybe not clear what atomic forces would be needed for that light effect, and Newton might perhaps have done better with a simple repulsion which has attraction mathematics but with an opposite sign. And if billiard ball collisions are in fact proximity repulsions, could the extent of currently known atomic repulsion forces fully explain billiard ball collisions ? And would a perfectly elastic collision require an infinite repulsion force or just repulsion with the inverse square law ? And might post-contact proximity attraction also somehow be able to offer another possible explanation of billiard ball collision ?
It follows from Newton's laws of motion that objects with similar velocities relative to some inertial frame of reference can attain different relative velocities only if forces do different work on them. The 'kinetic energies' of objects are measures of the work required to bring them to rest relative to some inertial frame of reference - and by definition more deceleration being required by a faster object, kinetic energies are the products of objects masses and their velocities relative to the inertial frame of reference. It follows that kinetic energies are not absolute properties of objects, but are only relative properties. But it is generally assumed that objects do have some absolute properties, which might or might not include such things as maybe 'mass' or other properties.
Objects motion can only be changed if some external force is applied to them, and for a given object a greater change in motion requires a greater force being applied. For any two different objects if a given change in motion requires different amounts of force being applied, then they are said to have proportionately different inertias. If the type of force being applied is gravitational force, then they are said to have proportionately different 'masses' or 'gravitational inertias'. But if the type of force being applied is magnetic force, then they are said to have proportionately different 'magnetic powers' or 'magnetic inertias' which will involve both their 'masses' and their 'iron percentage'. But if the type of force applied is 'contact force' or 'momentum force', then the forces and inertias involved are proportionate to the masses and gravitational inertias. Hence an objects inertia relative to gravity and momentum change is commonly called 'its inertia', despite some objects having also different forms of inertia like magnetic inertia. Like all objects non-iron objects have inertias, but they are unaffected by magnetic force with respect to which they hence have infinite inertia. So inertia is basically the responsiveness or non-responsiveness of bodies to forces or force signals. To both Gilbert and Newton, gravity and other like forces are caused by some agent or agents emitted at some high speed by objects and received by or touching other objects.
Motions common in larger visible objects may also be common in less easily seen microscopic objects - or may not. Hence microscopic objects do commonly show one apparently random motion called Brownian motion which may or may not have a real equivalent in larger object motion. And there is always the issue of the absoluteness and the relativity of any motion. Newton saw uniform motion as not distinguishable from a state of rest if the observer had the same uniform motion or state of rest, ie was in the same inertial frame of reference, and from that concluded that an observer could not know if his inertial frame of reference was a state of rest or some undeterminable state of uniform motion. And if gravitation is universal and necessarily non-uniform and accelerating, then maybe nowhere can there really exist any actual inertial frame of reference.
Newton is best know for his work in mathematics, optics and physics, but he certainly owned books on religion, alchemy and other subjects - on which he also wrote much but published little, and some labeled him an alchemist and a heretic Christian though he did not declare publicly any real belief in either. But, as The Big Bang Theory TV show indicates, many scientists today like Science Fiction and Fantasy Gaming which they know is not real.
In editions of Opticks from 1706, Newton discussed how microscopic forces analogous to gravity might explain some chemical phenomena and he did publish a little on simple chemistry experiments in the 1730 fourth edition of the Opticks. Newton did many chemistry experiments, but none seemed to have anything to do with the old alchemy aims of making gold or eternal youth. His main science problem almost certainly was to demonstrate exactly how gravity worked and, since magnetism and electricity show different effects with different materials as Gilbert's experiments had shown, he may have sought a substance that would impact gravity differently but found none. Newton maybe was looking for Anti-matter or Dark Matter ?!

If Guthrie were still alive today, July 14, 2012 would have marked his centennial, and KDHX threw him one heck of a party.
Thirteen bands took the stage of Off Broadway, with instruments ranging from guitar, bass, drums, mandolin and even a glockenspiel. Woody Guthrie is still making an impact on music years after his death, and the bands were happy to play songs which have influenced them and which they love. Although the crowd might not have recognized all the songs, they were excited to hear the music, and happy to sing along on a few of Guthrie's more famous tunes.
The night, a benefit for 88.1 KDHX, ended with an encore of one of Guthrie's most iconic songs -- "This Land is Your Land." Performers from all the bands squeezed onto the stage, and provided an iconic ending to the night -- Guthrie himself would surely have been smiling.
Featured bands (in order of appearance):
Kevin Buckley
Cree Rider Family Duo
Ben Bedford
Greg Silsby and Dustin Greer
The Union Electric

Langen Neubacher and the Defeated County
The Campfire Club

My biggest fear if I ever become a successful stand-up comedian with my own television special, (now this wouldn't be for a long time seeing as I still need to do the whole "stand-up" part), is the inevitable fact that some guy I've screwed is going to be flipping through the channels, recognize my face/ high-pitched voice/cankles, turn to the first person next to him, whether it a roommate/random passerby/ cellmate and say:
"Dude…fucked her."
And now, it's not really the guy I screwed I'm worried about because yeah, whatever, I made my bed now I have to lie in it. It's the roommate's/stranger's/cellmate's reaction I'm worried about.
"Gross…." Or "Nice…"
Look, cellmate 17389 you don't know me. Maybe I chugged a few too many wine coolers that night, and Joey called me fat, okay? And I loved Joey and he didn't love me back, and I was feeling chunky that night. And maybe, just maybe, your buddy, cellmate 71377 or as I like to call him, Jorge, told me I was a fine slice of white-heaven as he held my hair back while I vomited on his shoes.
Would you say no to that, cellmate 17389? Would you?!
Or maybe the guy I screwed was way out of my league. It doesn't matter that it's taking him way tooooooooo long to figure out that simple math in his head, stranger who is at a loss for words. And maybe, just maybe, he likes high-fiving more than the average male. Whatever, he's hot, dumb and was filled with the adequate amount of ruffies at the time. Sorry if I saw this golden opportunity and jumped on it… literally.
I'm an opportunist, not a thismightbewrongist.
I'm pretty sure that's what the feminist movement was all about, and I would know, cause I'm a lady.

Alex Jones on RT's Adam vs. the Man: Bin Laden Dead
Posted By aaron On May 4, 2011 @ 12:06 pm In Hot News,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
May 4, 2011
Tonight on Adam vs. the Man with Adam Kokesh: Some exclusive footage from the celebration at the White House last night following the President's announcement that Osama Bin Laden was killed by a team of US Navy SEALS. Those with no historical perspective were out in force. But how can you blame the mindless students of a government run "education" system intended to make them obedient? Sometimes, the government says things to elicit a reaction from the people the same way that dogs are trained. This time it worked. But not for Adam! And not for Adam's guests including Stefan Molyneux of freedomainradio.com and Alex Jones of Infowars.com. Adam also talks with AVTM Contributors Luke Rudkowski and Jake Diliberto about their reactions to the scene at the White House.
Segment with Alex Jones starts at 16m 11s.

Night Guards (Bruxism)
Night guards are removable acrylic appliances worn on the top or bottom teeth to protect from clenching or grinding (bruxism).
Grinding or clenching your teeth may result in many adverse effects, including worn or broken teeth, muscle tension headaches, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems. If you show evidence of grinding your dentist may recommend that you wear a night guard while you sleep. A night guard is a removable acrylic appliance that protects your teeth from the adverse forces of grinding or clenching.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a means to visualize brain activity, but it does not measure the activity of brain cells per se. Instead, blood flow within the brain is used to make inferences about neural activity - without really knowing the precise relationship between the two processes.
Patrick Drew, Ph.D., is studying that issue as a new assistant professor in the Engineering Science and Mechanics department and the Neurosurgery department at Penn State University. A better understanding of the basis of fMRI signals will help researchers and clinicians extract more information from fMRI, and may lead to improvements in the technology, he says. His appointment at Penn State was supported by an NINDS grant made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Dr. Drew joined Penn State in June 2010, after completing a postdoctoral fellowship with physicist David Kleinfeld, Ph.D., at the University of California, San Diego. In Dr. Kleinfeld's lab, he used electrophysiology and two-photon microscopy to correlate neural activity and blood flow within the brains of awake mice. Two-photon microscopy uses a thin laser beam of light to generate images at high speed and with high enough resolution to visualize blood flow within individual capillaries. Dr. Drew will continue and extend this research at Penn State, where a strong emphasis on materials science fits well with his interests, he says.
"There is a push [at Penn State] to study the brain as a material. Even though brain circuitry is a fascinating and important topic, there is more to the brain than the connections between neurons. The blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to neurons are important and often overlooked," he says.
Part of Dr. Drew's research will focus on deciphering the communication that occurs between neurons and blood vessels. In order to meet their demands for energy, neurons release chemicals that tell blood vessels to increase or decrease the delivery of blood, but the details of this communication are unclear.
"We want to understand the messages neurons send to the vasculature, and determine how neural activity is reflected in changes in blood flow," he says. In addition to helping understand fMRI signals, this research is relevant to developing better treatments for stroke, which is caused by an interruption of blood flow in the brain. Tapping into cerebral blood flow regulation could help restore normal blood flow after a stroke and improve recovery.

Judge: Home Of Petters' Former Assoc. To Be Seized
August 9, 2012 4:17 PM
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A judge decided the U.S. Attorney's office can seize a house purchased with money from the Tom Petters Ponzi scheme.
Petters is serving 50 years in prison for running the $3.5 billion fraud. The Minnetrista home that the federal government is seizing used to be owned by Petters' former associate, Deanna Coleman.
She was the key witness in the Petters' trial.
Her ex-husband kept the house after their divorce. He died in June.
The house has an estimated value of $580,000.

Not the way they put it, of course. The assertion is this demographic tops "climate-change denial"
Conservative white men are almost twice as likely as other U.S. adults to say that man is not the primary cause of global warming, according to an analysis of Gallup polling data by sociologists Riley E. Dunlap and Aaron M. McCright called,"Cool dudes: The denial of climate change among conservative white males in the United States."
I came across the 2011 study while researching my story,"Ideology, not facts, often drives political beliefs," It explores how voters from both major parties arrive at their positions not based on science so much as predilections.
The "cool dudes" analysis found that 59 percent of conservative white males said humans are not the primary cause of global warming, while 32 percent of the remaining adults polled held that view.
When asked if they understand global warming "very well," 30 percent of conservative white males said they did while 18 percent of the rest of adults said they did.
McCright and Dunlap explain the "cool dudes" phenomenon by pointing at several factors.
- "Conservative white males in the general public likely perceive conservative white males elites to be in their in-group. … "The most prominent denialists are conservative white males. This is true for contrarian scientists (e.g., Patrick Michaels and Fred Singer), media pundits (e.g., Rush Limbaughand Glenn Beck), think tank representatives (e.g., Joseph Bast and William O'Keefe), and politicians (e.g., Sen. James Inhofe and Rep. Joe Barton)."
- "Conservatives strongly display tendencies to justify and defend the current social and economic system. Conservatives dislike change and uncertainty and attempt to simplify complexity."
- "Conservative white males have disproportionately occupied positions of power within our economic system. Given the expansive challenge that climate change poses to the industrial capitalist economic syustem, it should not be surprising that conservative white males' strong system-justifying attitudes would be triggered to deny climate change."
- "The positive correlation between self-reported understanding of global warming and climate change
denial among conservative white males is compelling evidence that climate change denial is a form of identity-protective cognition, reflecting a system-justifying tendency."
As I wrote in my political beliefs story:
"A Pew poll found that 84 percent of scientists believe there's manmade global warming, compared to 49 percent of the general public. The journal of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences looked at the writings of 1,372 climate scientists and found that 97 percent thought there was manmade climate change."

MORRISTOWN Construction on a new road connecting Main and Bay streets, bypassing the Morristown Bay, is underway.
The project, intended to prepare for the day when the bridge spanning the bay is closed, is designed to make it possible for emergency vehicles to travel more easily through the village.
Village Superintendent of Public Works Kevin J. Crosby said the bridge may have to be closed in the near future because of structural deficiencies, making travel between Northumberland Street, on the southern side of the bay, and the rest of the village a much longer journey for emergency vehicles.
Traveling from the Morristown Volunteer Fire Department to the intersection of Northumberland and Bay streets now takes two minutes.
If the bridge were to be shut down for safety reasons, the trip would take about 12 minutes, significantly decreasing the ability of the fire department to respond to emergencies, Mr. Crosby said.
Its 15 miles farther for the firetrucks and ambulances to go, and thats really our biggest reason for building the bypass, Mr. Crosby said.
Earlier this year the village purchased, for $96,000, 130 acres of land that stretches from Bay Street to Main Street.
The property formerly belonged to Craig MacDonald.
Mr. Crosby said the goal is to build a road connecting the end of Bay Street to Main Street across from the Morristown Cemetery.
For now our goal is to make it a dirt road and passable, Mr. Crosby said.
Starting this week the land is being cleared by hand by the village Department of Public Works. Mr. Crosby said the town Highway Department will help out as well.
To build the road, Mr. Crosby said, his crew needs to clear a 60-foot pass through the forest that stretches three quarters of a mile. That effort is expected to take two to three weeks.
Mr. Crosby said crews will lay the gravel for a dirt road in the spring.
Including the manpower, equipment and supplies that the construction of the road will require, Mr. Crosby said, the dirt road could cost up to $500,000.

A new portrait, depicting the 19th-century builder and property owner Thomas Drummond, is displayed in Fleetwood's pub of the same name – thanks to his great-great-granddaughter Christine Pears.
Christine provided Wetherspoon with the image from a family oil painting which hangs in her house in Perth, Australia. It was commissioned in 1860, to celebrate Thomas's 50th birthday.
It replaces the original portrait of Thomas Drummond which had been in the pub since its opening in 2001.
Christine said: "I visited the pub while in England and was proud to see such a wonderful portrait displayed of my great-great-grandfather."
The Thomas Drummond stands on the site of the former Congregational Church rooms built by him and bearing his name. In the mid 19th century, Drummond built most of the workers' cottages and the churches in the new town of Fleetwood.

KENNEBUNK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- In mid-February, icy roads created a 50-car pile up on I-80 in Pennsylvania. Even though it was weeks ago, and hundreds of miles away, the impact is still being felt in Maine.
One of the most seriously injured was Lee Allen, a father, husband, former Marine, and truck driver. He tried to swerve to miss the other cars, and hit a guard rail.
According to his family, he was trapped inside of his truck for 90 minutes before being extracted by the jaws of life.
Allen is paralyzed from the waist down, and cannot speak. He is currently in a rehabilitation facility in Boston.
His wife, Elizabeth, has been traveling to Boston to stay with him. When Lee is able to come home, his family will have to pay travel and medical expenses, and renovate the home to accomodate a wheel chair.
To help defray the costs, there will bea benefit at the Kennebunk Town Hall on Saturday, April 5th at 7 p.m. It will be a variety show sponsored by the Kennebunk Twirlers.
Additionally, there has been a fund set up online.
"Just that show of support, just personally being there, even if it's not financial...is wonderful," said mother-in-law Deb Burrows. "Just seeing there are people in your corner, fighting along with you, is nice."

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
It blows my mind that 2010 is coming to an end.. If I really think about it, it does seem like forever since I moved into my new apartment, which was September 11th – not that long ago. Lots has changed, and I have a lot to be thankful for. I think we can classify 2010 as a successful year, even with some of the ups and downs.
In order to truly appreciate the year that has passed, I think it's time for a mini-retrospective… Well, not a full retrospective – I don't know that I have the desire to spend the time necessary to do something I would consider complete.
Favorite YouTube Video:
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ArIj236UHs']
This vid is double awesome because it includes one of my favorite places back at BYU – I really loved the library and worked there for about 8 months… Funny, Funny!
Favorite Movie:
Even with the wonder that was Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Inception, I think Toy Story 3 was the one movie I enjoyed the most from beginning to end. Pixar has a magical way of sucking me in… I doubt it will win the Oscar for Best Picture, but I really think it's my personal "Movie of the Year".
Favorite Book(s):
I know I'm two years late on reading this one, but Hayley and I busted through the trilogy within just a couple weeks (well… Hayley read all three in a single week, it took me a little bit longer). The concept of the book – a dystopian world where children of the 12 districts are selected to compete in a battle to the death as a demonstration of the central government's authority – is certainly troublesome. Luckily, the reader is spared anything too gruesome as the author avoids going into explicit detail of the killings (with most happening "off screen"), but you certainly get a feel for the terror of the participants and how twisted the world has become.
The second and third books, Catching Fire and Mockingjay, aren't quite as good as the first, though they certainly have their moments. Hayley and I disagreed on the quality of Mockingjay… I enjoyed it and found it to be interesting due to its own contribution to the world found therein, but Hayley felt it was too significant of a departure from the two books previous. Either way, we both agree that it's a very good series to pick up and read.
Other Favorites:
Modern Family and Community (TV): if you're looking for some really good comedy, these two shows are gold! They're very different in their approach to comedy, but if you give them both a little bit of time you'll find some seriously enjoyable television.
Perbacco (Restaurant): This Italian gem, located in downtown Houston, is GREAT! The owner is from Capri and makes a point to visit each table at some point during the night. In fact, he's usually the one who will give you the day's specials and take your order. I took Hayley here on our first date and it was a major success. To quote Hayley, "You're taking me to an Italian restaurant? That's a bold move!" … "I LOVE THAT PLACE! Yeah Jeff, you did goooooood!"
That's about it for a list of favorites. Most of the other fun stuff is chronicled in other blog posts or somewhere else on the internet. It's been a fun and enjoyable year, but I'm honestly hoping for an even better 2011!
We have a wedding to look forward to, my first trip out of the United States for the honeymoon, a couple of additional open house events, a family reunion in November, hopefully some golf clubs and lessons, and an innumerable amount of adventure! I have no major resolutions this year, other than maintaining my weight loss goals, focusing on becoming more patient, and developing myself spiritually. I've never succeeded with resolutions; I work better with broader goals and themes. Perhaps on New Year's Eve I can sit down with Hayley and we can think of a really solid theme for 2011.
Until then, I'll go with the first one I find by searching 2011 theme on Google: "Drunk Brits and Cleavage"!

Fayetteville, IL (KSDK) - A Fayetteville, Illinois couple hurt in a crash with a former Illinois State trooper finally sees some justice. The state of Illinois awarded the family $700,000.
Click here to read the court documents
Former Illinois State Trooper Matt Mitchell was speeding, on his cell phone and emailing when he killed two teenage sisters, then smashed into the Marler family car.
This has been an ordeal for the Marlers, and it took 14 months for the Court of Claims to deliver a verdict.
The $700,000 is for injuries and emotional anguish, much of it surrounding their unborn child.
Christine Marler was driving in the family's Pontiac Torrent with her husband, Kelly, and two children. They were driving west on Interstate 64 to pick up prenatal vitamins at the pharmacy. Christine was 8 months pregnant. That was in November 2007, when Mitchell took a call about a traffic accident.
On his way, court records show that Mitchell was driving in excess of 125 miles per hour while talking on his cell phone with his girlfriend, and sending and receiving emails on the computer in his patrol car.
Christine Marler told the court that Mitchell's patrol car "went through" the Uhl sisters' vehicle before hitting their car. Teenage sisters Jessica and Kelli Uhl, were killed instantly.
Christine was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
"She had no idea whether her unborn child was alive or dead," said the Marler's attorney, Troy Walton. "Even at the time of the hospital it took them an extended period of time to find a heartbeat."
Once the heartbeat was found, there were concerns whether their baby would have permanent problems from the trauma to Christine's body
"They were most concerned about her mangled leg and her knee," said Walton.
She eventually had surgery without a general anesthetic because of her pregnancy. Walton says Christine will continue to have problems with her knee, and her husband continues to suffer from his injury to his wrist, which is why the Illinois Court of Claims awarded the couple $700,000.
"There has to be a special legislation passed by the state of Illinois, before the Marlers will actually receive the verdict they've been awarded," said Walton.
They have to wait, but Walton says with everything the Marlers have gone through, state legislators are expected to approve the Special Awards Bill this coming spring, authorizing payment of their claim.
Mitchell pleaded guilty to reckless homicide in exchange for a sentence of 30 months probation.
According to the Marlers attorney, they are pleased that Mitchell's felony conviction means he will never be a law enforcement officer again.

AskBaby Talk > Twins, Triplets and Multiples > When did u start showing?, and when did u go on mat leave ?
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:51 pm
Post subject: When did u start showing?, and when did u go on mat leave ?
Hi Twin Mummies,
Just a couple of questions for you all:
When did you start showing? I am nearly 14 weeks and apart from my jeans being a bit tight, and looking like I have been eating more pies lately, I am hardly showing. I thought I might show more with twins. I am usually a size 10 so would notice it.
Also, when the midwife listens to the heart beats can she manage to listen to them both? It must be hard to distinguish between them.
Third thing- those of you who have already had your bubbas, or are about to, when did you go on mat leave? It is quite hard to judge when to plan to finish, bearing in mind that they will probably be born 2-4 weeks before their due date, and my job is quite physical?
I would love to hear your experiences/get your advice..??

Post subject:
Hey I took ages to start showing as well hun. I'd say prob about the 16 week mark. Even now though, people can't believe it when I tell them I'm 6 months pregnant with twins.
Also, MW listened to the babies heartbeats for the first time last week and she just put the doppler to each side of my belly and each time you could hear one heartbeat Thought you would hear the two at the same time but oh well, she seemed happy enough with it. x

Thanks for the reply. I guess everyone is different in terms of when they need to go off on Mat leave. I am a self employed Physiotherapist, so will need to organise cover for when I am off. I am thinking that it might be better to not leave it too late in case something happens and I have to have them quite early.
